Series M.List | Main M.List
To say you were nervous would be an understatement, you were terrified, of leaving you parents, your siblings, it was all irritating terrifying. You were upon Omatikaya territory, their forest was so different from yours, but you could not see it up close. you sat on your motherâs ikran, and you fatherâs held all of your stuff. You canât imagine not going home to see them every day, but you could not change your mind now, it was well passed the time for that.
you felt a bit sticky from the travels the air felt different, smelt different, you watched the beauty of your forest change to a completely different kind of beauty in a different part of the forest. You can begin to imagine what this competition must be like; would you have to fight? You hoped not, it was not something you were fond of. Not because you didnât like to but back in your clan people learned not to pick fights with you due to your habit of raging out.
The goodbye to your brothers were sorrowful, you missed them already and it hasn't even been a week, you do not know how you are going to go 6 months without your family. Thank Eywa for your iPad. You hold on to your mother as she descends her ikran, and your father follows. They both hope off and you follow. You see the clan is bustling in the sunny day but you are not quite there. Your mother had sent down a few minutes' walk from the clan with the other woman and their families who are in the competition.
Almost immediately the awes start when the girls see you, but you pay no mind to it, in this moment you want to be with your family, you want to be present. You can hear the music from the clan playing and it was slightly distracting. Your father pulled the three heavy trunks full of your stuff off his ikran before coming to join you and your mother.
Your thoughts are quickly broken by the voice of a man in front of all of you. The girls form a semi-circle with their families around no other than Toruk Makto. âOel Ngati Kameie, I welcome you all to the Omatikaya Clan.â you all make the respectful âI see youâ gesture to him and he continues to talk, âThis is the first time our clan will hold these games, but I assure you, they are all safe. I must put your minds and the minds of your children at ease, so without further ado, meet my son Neteyam Te Suli Tsyeykâitan.â Neteyam steps up next to his father, you didnât realize before, but he was always standing there. Along with his brother Loâak and Korra, two other girls who looked younger and who you assume was his mother.
Neteyam was handsome, he was tall and built like a true warrior. His gaze was hardened as it passed around to the women standing before it, you almost made an effort to fix your hair, but you didnât want to look desperate, he was not the only one who had people falling to their feet. But you could not deny how incredible he looked, like Eywa herself crafted him, which is something many say about you.
Your eyes dart to Loâak and Korra and she gave you a quick wave and a smile and you retuned it with a small smile. Your motherâs arms were wrapped around your shoulders and your father stood beside her, slightly behind you. She tucked a piece of your hair behind your ear and raised your head then he saw you. Neteyam knew that Loâak and Korra where excited to see you but he couldnât believe you were actually standing there.
Neteyam never thought you would agree to compete for the hand of some random stranger when you could have anyone at your side his brain was lagging. His eyes almost popped out of his head when he laid eyes on your beauty. The other women watched Neteyam like a hawk, they saw the way he looked at you and instantly they had an issue, they felt you had an unfair advantage. But one of the greatest things about your demeanor is you never really cared what other people thought of you.
You sigh your eyes tracing the branches above, you knew this part would be weird, the part where he looked at all of you, you felt insecure to say the least, being silently compared to other girls, you couldnât imagine how they must feel being compared to you.
âThis is the man you all will but entering the games for, and I can assure you all, the Omatikayan people will keep you safe in your stay. Now come, any questions can be answered let us give you all a tour of where you girls will be staying.â
You sighed and turned to your mom, âWhen are you leaving?â
âAfter the introduction ma ite, do not fretâ she tucked some of your curls behind your ear and turned you around to follow the girls, âWe will be here when you get backâ you walk behind the other girls slowly talking in the scenery around you, when you make it to Korra and Loâak you slowed down, âAre you coming?â you asked her softly and she nodded gesturing you to walk.
She was quick to keep pace with you, âHow do you feel?â she asked softly as you made your way to the village entrance. âI am not sure, nervous, I feel a bit distant from this whole thing, I do not think it really hit me, yet I will be far away from home alone for the first timeâ you giggle softly. âYou are not alone, you have us. I can introduce you to my friends if you would like?â you nodded smiling at her kindness. You made it to the village and your steps falter.
You admired the trimmings on every branch, the attention to detail in the clan was breathtaking, the kelkus were so well constructed they looked incredibly sturdy and big compared to the ones back in your home clan. You found yourself spinning trying to take in everything, your attention span was not helping you. You moved to walk forward, and a little girl ran right in front of you catching your eye, you looked back and saw the group of girls just as captivated as you by the surrounding. You turned back to the young girl and saw she had fallen. You gasp softly but rushing to her side.
She couldn't have been more than 5 years old. You dropped down to her level and picked her up to stand, you dusted off her knees, âAre you alright hĂŹâi âaw?â she sniffled softly as she held onto your shoulder to balance herself and nodded, âWhere is your saânok?â you ask her softly and she looked around and didnât see her, âI was following her and I fell now I lost herâ her tears her about to burst this poor little thing. âDo not cry how about we go find her? Do you remember where she was going?â the little girl just shook her head.
You brushed her hair behind her ear and wiped her tears still holding her hand you stand up and look around for someone to help you. You had long forgotten the group of girls moving on to the next part of the clan and you feel a tap on your shoulder. When you turn you come face to face with a chest. You look up and find the man standing in front of you is no other than Neteyam, âIs something wrong? I noticed you were not with the groupâ his voice was smooth, it was embarrassing how easily hearing him speak made you weak, his voice and his face matched perfectly.
âYea, this little girl fell and lose her mother, and I offer to help her without knowing where to go?â you smile awkwardly. Neteyam darted his eyes down to the small girl and back up to you, âHer mother is a harvester, she must be in the garden area, I can show you if youâd like so we can take her back to her mother.â
âWhat about the tour?â you ask him softly, âYou will be here for the next month at least, maybe more, you will learn your way around, you can always ask.â you smile softly at his reassuring words and told him to lead the way. You speak to the little girl as you walked and Neteyam was on the other side of her, you learned her name was Saki and she was only 5 years old. You couldn't help but glance at Neteyam every now and them, when he would help Saki over a log then hold his hand out to help you. When he would hold down the bigger leaves so you can walk through easily, everything about it, about him felt, so calming and strong.
It made you wonder why he hasnât chosen a mate before now; you figured the war had something to do with it, but you didnât know if it was the whole reason. The little girl ran up to her mother who processed to thank you both. You smiled and greeted her respectful telling her it was no problem.
Your turned to walk back now alone with him. You felt a bit awkward being alone with him, you werenât sure what to say, thankfully he broke the silence, âSo, I have heard your music, you are incredible talented, I'm tempted to ask why you agreed to be a part of something you might not be chosen for, you could have anyone you wantedâ his voice was soft as he spoke to you, with such gentle intend as if his words would offend you.
âI could say the same about you having anyone you want, I am here because you brother and his wife, your sister asked me very kindly to be here, they made it sound like you were worth my timeâ he chuckled at your statement which made you smile, your knees almost buckled. âI am afraid I may not live up to the expectationâ he said softly.
âWe will just have to find out Neteyam, it was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for helping me with that young girl. I just could not leave her aloneâ you say softly while you smile, âIt was my pleasure Iâm glad you agreed to the games, I did not believe my brother at first when he told me he had asked you and you agreed, I look forward to getting to know youâ Neteyam softly picked up your hand and kissed it looking you in the eye.
Lucky for you, you mastered the art of having good composure and you smile sweetly down at him even though you could hear you heart in your ears, âI look forward to getting to know you too Neteyamâ you say softly. He led you back to the group where they were being given the tour of where we would all be staying.
The Sullyâs had their own grand hut. It was high up in one of the bigger trees in one of the kelku areas. Other huts sat on lower parts of other trees, but they all hung beautifully, some even sat on the floor below other kelkus. You admired the intricate carvings that each hut had; the very well stable structures you wondered how they even got them so high up in the trees. On top of that, there was not a ladder in sight, only ropes that hung down and branched that situated at stairs.
I craned my neck looking up at the sully kelku. When Jake grabbed our attention, âOk ladies, given that this is a strange place for you all and to ensure your safety personally, you will all be staying on the upper level of our kelku. The stairs you see connecting the lower level to the higher will be your way up and down. Currently, it is generally one big room, so each of you will have a corner in the room with a bed and space for your things, the bathroom and kitchen area are on the lower level and communal dinners are held once a week, you all must attend unless you have a legitimate reason.â he concluded.
You sighed softly as you dropped my head, you have to live in the same room as the girls you are competing against, that sounds like a great idea. As if the other girls had the same thought process you heard them sigh as well with small groans which made you cover your mouth and smile.
Jake ended up showing you all where the healerâs tent was and introducing you all to TsahĂŹk Moâat, Neteyamâs grandmother. He also introduced you to his wife, Neytiri, she was a beautiful warrior, walked with poise and power. Her aura was one of fierce fearlessness and elegant beauty. Then lastly, Neteyamâs younger sisters were introduced, their third born Kiri and their youngest Tuktirey who had a striking resemblance to her mother.
You donât remember much from the tour only where to find the healerâs tent and where youâll be sleeping thought you didnât know which bed is yours yet. You happily made you way back to your parents, skipping quickly towards them when they were in sight. âSaânu, canât you stay a while longer? I already have to be alone for Eywa knows how long, when will I see you both next?â
âMa ite, you will be fine, please keep an open mind, you are smart and kind and he will be lucky to call you his, my opinion is biased but you are by far the most beautiful girl here, and we are so proud of you for doing this. Be brave and be strong. I am sorry we cannot stay longer; the journey is just too far for us to delay it.â your father spoke up holding your face gently in his hands.
You sighed into his arms softly looking up at him. You already missed him; your father has never once left you to fend for yourself, but he surely did teach you and your brothers how. You considered yourself very highly trained because of this but it was not what you are known for across pandora, so you kept it to yourself.
You were about to speak up when someone cleared their throat behind you. It was Jake Sully and his wife. You spun on your heels and backed into your taller parents. âI see you Toruk Makto, Neytiriâ your father greeted them respectfully and your mother followed.
âI see you oloâeyktan of the Tawkami clan. I am glad your daughter has agreed to be apart of the games for my boy. I just wanted to personally assure you like I have done with the other parents; your daughter is in capable hands. I understand the journey from tedious and we appreciate the trust you have put into us and our clanâ
âAh, Jake Sully, I am not worried for my daughterâs safety I am aware she will be well cared for, and she can more than fend for herself I am sure of it. We will not be able to visit as much as the other clans but please do not hesitate to send for us if you must. Our children are always our priority, it is something I am sure you understandâ your father spoke to him. It was nice seeing them be polite to each other, if neteyam does end up choosing you, you wouldnât have to worry about bad in-laws.
You took a long breath as you watched your parents flew away into the beautiful sunset. You couldnât stop your tears when they were departing, and you stared until they disappeared as if you were scared to turn around and face this new situation. Someone had taken your stuff up to the room youâd be staying in, so you had nothing on you. A small tap on your shoulder grabbed your attention, quickly swiping your face you turn to one of the girls, Niâalu she is a healer for the Olangi clan.
âI see youâ she greeted you respectfully and I returned the favor, âyou must be the famous y/n, it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is-â
âNiâalu, I remember from the emailer introductions, it is a pleasure to meet you as well, you have a lovely nameâ I smile at her softly, she was a kind woman, slim and had long hair, almost the same length as yours but straight instead of curly. She wore a beautiful red chest cover with a loincloth that had matching feathers hanging down the side of her thigh, she was definitely dressing to impress, she looks gorgeous.
You did not try nearly as hard. Your loincloth and matching top were a pretty color lilac, with a sting of beads hanging around your stomach in lilac and white. It was not as fancy as how the other girls decided to dress but your journey was longer, so you choose comfort. âShall we get cleaned up for dinner?â I asked her politely and she nodded.
You and Niâalu walked together to the sully kelku where all the other girls plus the family had gone to get ready for the communal dinner. You watched as the girls climbed up the tree to the kelku, Maâvia was exceptional in this. She is a hunter, part of the Kekunun clan. Though it shouldnât surprise you, she must do a lot of climbing in the mountains.
Maâvia wore clothes thicker than the other clans did, you assumed it was because of the lower temperatures in the mountains. She was taller than the rest of you, supposedly a very strong hunter. She wore a clean white fur chest cover, the sleeves feel off her shoulders and she wore brown wooden jewelry. Her hair was twisted into long neat looking dreads. Her loincloth was plain, and she had the fur draped over her hips like a high-low skirt. She looked ethereal, strong beautiful woman, one made to rule her clan one day.
By the time we all made it to the top, I held my hand out to help Niâalu off the last branch and onto the woven floor, the kelku was so cozy, you saw private rooms for all of the sully children to the left of the living space under the stairs that lead to where you and the girls would stay, with drawn curtains separating them from the rest of the living space. Jake and Neytiri also had their own space towards the back of the kelku and all their entryways to the rooms were situated right next to each other cutely, you knew who each room belonged to by the cute planks with scrappy hand writing that had each of their names on it. No doubt made by Tuk.
It made you smile when you saw Korraâs name next to Loâakâs on their room. They were so close as a family loâak never found a reason to move out. It spoke a lot about the kind of people they are. Korra as an outsider would not put up a front if they made her uncomfortable, she would have made loâak move out. Maybe this wasnât a bad family to marry into.
âOk girls, when you need to shower, we have private hot springs behind the tree for you all to use, it is secluded and no one else in the clan is allowed to use them so you all can feel at ease.â Neytiri smiled at all of you.
Another girl who was standing next to you spoke up, Leiâwa of the Tanrangi clan. She had short wavy hair, her chest cover and loincloth were a pretty color green that made her skin look radiant. She had beads through out small sections of her hair, she was absolutely stunning and didnât look like the harden warrior she parents made her out to be, but you had no doubt she was. âI really need to bathâ
âMe too girl I feel gross after that journey, Iâm y/n by the wayâ I smiled at her and greeted her with my hands to my forehead.
She hesitated but did return the gesture, she smiled at you as she said âI know who you are, who doesnât?â
âFair pointâŚâ
You werenât sure how to respond to her dry demeanor you were only trying to be nice. You didnât want to hate these girls, for all you knew youâd be around them for the next few months. You walked up the stairs with the other girls and got situated for dinner. You all had small dividers that gave you some privacy, but everything was out there not that it bothered you. Growing up with brothers was much worse than whatever these girls could possibly do, or so you thought.
The communal dinner was beautiful. The clan gathered and it was the first time you really saw them in their numbers. You knew the omatikaya had lost a significant amount of people during the war against the sky people but the clan was still three times bigger than yours at least. The way they sat together, families and children running about it was all so domestic. Everyone knew each other, they spoke to each other as if they were all one big family and they in fact were. The Omatikaya have always considered themselves as one. You know Neteyam will have his work cut out for him when he does take up the mantle of oloâeyktan. Being the eldest yourself however, you knew exactly what kind of pressure that was. By the looks of it Neteyam was already well loved by the people. Tonight, he was tasked with sharing out food wrapped in the leaves for everyone, every similar to how your clan does it.
You were about to offer your help but it seemed the competitions have already started, you saw Leiâwa and Maâvia already on both if his sides, smiling sweetly as they helped him distribute. You almost rolled your eyes at that, but Niâalu caught on and sniffled a laugh.
âWhatâs so funny?â You whipped you head to look at her.
âNothing, they just all up on him already I thought the games donât start until tomorrowâ she giggled harder.
âI know, why arenât you more upset? That is potentially your man they wanna crawl up onâ you smile at her playfully, you felt a bump on your shoulder on the other side of you and turned to see Korra sporting the same smile at you.
âShouldnât you be upset to? That logic also applies to youâ she giggled with her hand in her hip. We all ended up laughing over the situation for a bit as we made our way to join the line.
âGood point but weâre talking about Niâalu right nowâ you giggle. Korra shook her head before turning her attention Niâalu who stood staring at the girls, âmaybe you should do something to get his attentionâ Korra said.
âWho her? Or me?â You ask her. âEither one doesnât matterâŚhe has to spend time with all of you, canât let them keep him to themselvesâ you thought about what she said for a second and sheâs right, you didnât want to seem desperate, but Neteyam was soâŚ.you couldnât even describe it something about his demeanor just pulled you in. Youâve barely spoken two words to him, but you definitely want to get to know him.
Watching those girls be all up on him did bother you a bit but it wasnât enough for you to make a fool of yourself trying to get his attention. âIâm hungry and tired, can we eat so I can go to bedâ the girls giggled at your words, and both joined the line with you.
When you were standing in front of the three you greeted them respectfully, you let your eyes linger slightly on Neteyam and you know he noticed from the way he held eye contact with you as you slowly stepped away before you broke it and sat down next to Niâalu.
The way his golden eyes flickered on you made your heart beat a little faster. You almost felt heat coming off him, as if he were standing closer to you than he actually was. The way he held eye contact with you so fearlessly like he didnât even care the other girls were staring at the interaction with distain. But who could really blame him? He was looking at you. His eyes were undeniably beautiful; you could only wish to get a closer view, and you will.
Dinner commenced and it was incredibly lively, your clan only got like this when their was a celebration taking place but you learnt quickly the Omatikaya celebrate life daily, they never take a day for granted. There was singing and dancing, chanting to Eywa to bless the clan and its people it was all such a moving experience to be apart of Omatikayan rituals, you felt so connected to the way they expressed themselves you couldnât wait to learn what you could about the clan.
The music was so powerful, it vibrated your soul and the melodies voices that sung to Eywa, you couldnât help but sing along to the songs you knew to Eywa. What really shocked you though was when one of the Omatikayan girls who volunteered to perform tonight started singing a song all to familiar to you, a song you wrote with feelings from your heart. She started singing one of your older songs, one of the first actually. It was the based off your parents and the love they had for each other.
She started singing, âYouâre still the oneâ
She sang sweetly to her husband who sat staring at her with heart eyes. You couldnât help but have the biggest smile on your face knowing your music touched their hearts enough for her to express her love in this way. It made you so happy knowing she could relate to someone she loves so much without shame of showing it off.
You sing along softly to the chorus and swayed side to side with Niâalu as she also hummed along. Your eyes drifted through the crowd catching small glimpse of couples hugging each other, families with their kids, the overall affection in the air made you giddy.
Your eyes darted from person to person until you were once again met with Neteyamâs golden eyes. He sat across from you with his family on the other side of the big fireplace in the middle of the clan. You almost blushed when you realized he was already staring at you while you were busy admiring his clan, he picked at the food in his leaf without looking away from you.
You continued eating slowly just like him while occasionally singing the lyrics but this time, you never broke eye contact with him, the song came to its end with sweet cheers and clapping for the young girl. Still though you looked at Neteyam as if he was the only person by the fire with you. It was almost intimate the way he stared into your eyes through the strands of your curly hair that fell, framing your face heavenly. It was not until Loâak nudged his brother did he break eye contact with you. You admired him for a second the way he turned to his brother before you dropped your head and finished you meal. Maybe it wasnât such a bad idea you decided to come here after all.
đ޸I want to thank everyone for your patience! I love you all and Iâm so glad you all are still around for this! I missed you so much! Iâm not sure how much I like this chapter but it is the first. Please any feedback or ideas are welcome! Reblogs, likes and comments are always appreciated!

Headcanons of Giyuu, Rengoku, Gojo, and Nanami react to shy crush confessing to him?
Ë ŕźâĄ â・Ë
hello anon, thank you for the request! i can do that.
Ë ŕźâĄ â・Ë
đđ˘đ˛đŽđŽ
-Shinobu definitely teased you about your crush on Giyuu, "how could you like Tomioka out of all people?" yet she also teased you into confessing to him. (she still wanted to support you)
-when youre confessing you arent actually intimidated by him, even if he is just starring at you quietly waiting for your confession to end so he could return your feelings. he actually has this aura that somehow calms you even if youre in a situation that should make you extremely nervous. of course youre still stuttering, but not as much.
-as youre confessing he feels extremely warm inside. ever since he joined the Demon Slayer Corp he has been constantly surrounded by hate, but he gets a break whenever hes around you. he just wants to embrace you and feel that way all the time.
-the way you shyly praise him is what keeps him going. you in general is one of the main reasons he keeps going, he wants to live a quiet happy life with you. and he would do anything he can to obtain that.
-and he verbally expresses that; he walks over, and gently places his hand on the back of your head to bring you closer to him. "as long as your by my side ill do anything to protect you, so we could live a peaceful life"
-Shinobu teases the hell out of both of you. whith Giyuu its way worse though đ but overall everyone is completely shocked that the two of you ended up together. a couple of people asked if you were okay when they heard the news.
Ë ŕźâĄ â・Ë
đđđ§đ đ¨đ¤đŽ
-you could not meet this mans gaze, you would honestly look anywhere but his eyes. he would notice this and would take your fidgeting hands into his which automatically sends a comforting warmth through your body.
-he boldly, and loudly accepts your confession. and very boldly praises you. "I LIKE YOU TOO Y/N!", "YOU LOOK EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME TODAY!". the more he praises you the more hes slowly breaking you, he doesnt mean to of course, please forgive him.
-he does find your shy demeanor quite interesting though, since hes always been confident an loud. he does try to get you out of your comfort zone at times, but if you dont want to he respects your boundaries and maybe gives it another try some other time, he just wants to raise your confidence a bit and wants you to see yourself the same way he sees you.
-after that day hes always by your side, you insist that he can go do whatever he wants but hes always say "THATS FINE! ID PREFER TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE FOREVER!" he just wants to make sure your safe! whenever someone talking over you he speaks up for you! or he announces that you have something important to say.
-Mitsuri squeals every time she sees the two of you. she thinks the two of you are so cute together, especially because the two of ypu are polar opposites.
Ë ŕźâĄ â・Ë
đđ¨đŁđ¨
-at this point im praying for you and getting your casket ready. he would absolutely teas the hell out of you till youre red in the face and pass out- then when you wake up hell refer to himself as your "savior" jk jk, but honestly please be prepared for a lot of teasing during and after your confession.
-when you get nervous and start fidgeting during your confession he turns off his force field (its been so long i forgot what its called, infinite?) so he could comfort you. (he makes it extremely worse đ) but honestly the fact that he turned off his ability just to comfort you is so cute. you know that scene when he held that curses hand? yeah he did that with you.
-he takes in your quiet praises and hod them close. sure he loves all the praises he gets, but he especially loves them from you, what you say about him is the only thing he cares about. and just like how you boost his ego, he makes sure to boost yours as well
-"you know, youre extremely cute when youre bold, i guess thats one of many reasons why i like you. but when you act shy youre even cuter!" MANS CANNOT LET YOU BREATHE FOR A MINUTE- he definitely shows you off and you become apart of the silly shenanigans he pulls.
-his students are totally kicking their feet and giggling at the fact that their teacher is getting confessed to. yet some of them are wondering why and how this man is getting confessed to and how someone like you can like him. they send you their best wishes and "get well soon" cards đ youre gonna boost this mans ego, but thats okay, anything for this man and his beautiful eyes.
Ë ŕźâĄ â・Ë
đđđ§đđŚđ˘
-he is extremely patient with you. "theres no need to rush in. please, take your time." he knows you act like this around everyone, but he wants you to be comfortable around him. he wants you to feel what he feels when hes around you, you make him feel extremely warm, and whenever your around him you make him forget about this job that he hates so much.
-if youre still struggling with your words he stops you, "thats okay, you dont have to say any more, because no matter what you say ive already decided that ill spend my life with you" thats when you fell in love with him all over again. hes so considerate with how you feel, and he doesn't make you go out of your way if you dont want to. he wants to give you a happy comfortable life.
-he doesnt mind the way you act at all, even though to others you may seem childish or insecure. he knows its something thats normal and doesnt bash you for it, he would rather worry anout you (and Yuji) than anything else.
-you guys cannot catch a break with Gojo, he would be teasing the hell out of both of you. youd just be standing there all flustered as this man goes on and on and Nanami is just staring at him like đ Yuji thinks the two of you are absolutely cute together though!

=====
2024
Relocating to Miami, veteran Terry Richmond wanted to start life all over again after escaping the rural and dangerous town of Shelby Springs.Â
Upon entry, the new apartment offered more than enough space. Justice grounded some peace, but even with his cousin avenged, time still burned.Â
After taking this much-needed shower to clear emotions, Richmond dumped the weathered backpack and organized his very few items.Â
Learning the brand-new area, Terry signaled that elevator and chimed down. Modern decor prolonged this lobby as sunlight illuminated.Â
Just before Richmond headed outside, one different man entered the building.Â
Detective Mike Lowrey of the Miami Police Department would introduce himself to staff members.Â
âSomeone will move here, but we'll handle everything.â Lowrey took charge.Â
Red and blue overcasts crossed that Florida skyline. Even sirens wailed.Â
What the hell? Terry thought.Â
Just when Richmond planned to ask questions, the entrance opened.Â
Officials escorted this handcuffed man right into the complex and Richmond's nerves heightened with each passing moment.Â
âYo, what's going on? You good, man?â Terry almost gritted his teeth.Â
This guy named Armando Aretas wouldn't respond at first.Â
Wearing this Bud Light shirt, Aretas chose one trucker hat that veiled his brown eyes. Jeans covered both legs and boots stepped along.Â
âIt's fine, we got it.â Lowrey noticed Richmond's concern and tried to settle this problem down.Â
âWhat in the world?â Several people offered questions as well.Â
Yet when police unfastened Armando's handcuffs, voices shared relief in all directions.Â
âCome with us.â Lowrey gestured to Richmond and led Aretas near the elevator.Â
âYes, Sir.â No matter what, Terry offered respect as all three individuals moved upstairs.Â
________
âIt's a long story, but Armando is my son.â Lowrey stood in the hall with Richmond once Aretas settled his own apartment.Â
âWhy bring out that police motorcade?â Terry squinted.Â
âLike I said, it's a long story. Just know that he works for the department now.â Lowrey explained.Â
âAight.â Terry cleared his throat. âIf he's not in trouble, I'll feel better honestly. Thank you.âÂ
âYou're welcome.â Detective Lowrey excused himself from Richmond and returned to Armando's space.
Time would explain what happens now.Â
*****
Armando woke up as sunlight greeted the bedroom windows. Gaining this furnished apartment, he organized essentials yesterday.Â
Packing his new laptop bag, Aretas left to âexplore.âÂ
Reaching the hallway, Armando pinged this elevator and noticed that someone joined.Â
âTerry.â Richmond ended up clipping his name first.Â
âArmando.â Aretas wouldn't make eye contact, but followed Terry's lead with introductions.Â
âYou good?â Terry repeated his genuine question from yesterday.Â
âYeah. Thanks.â Armando accepted Terry's kindness.Â
Heading outside, both men walked in silence as vibrant lanes of South Beach lined up.Â
Cheerful voices beamed and upbeat music played out loud from vehicles while Terry acknowledged surroundings.Â
âFound a coffee shop.â Richmond pointed near one storefront and welcomed Armando past its threshold.Â
âGood catch.â Aretas moved.Â
_____
âMorning. Could I have some black coffee and a muffin, please?â This muscular man stepped toward the counter and greeted you. His bright eyes nearly prompted your heart to rattle.Â
âGot it. Anything else?â You grinned while counting his order.Â
âNo, Ma'am.â Terry almost smiled not long after paying up. Â
âCan I have a name for the order?â You set out markers.Â
âTerry.â Richmond quickly stated his own first name
âThank you. Just wait for a second.â You prepared everything.Â
Stepping out of the line, Terry gave room for different customers, but noticed Armando using his laptop from this window seat.Â
âYou want something?â Terry leaned inward this time around.Â
âI'll get up in a second. Appreciate it.â Aretas noticed Richmond's words again.Â
âTerry?â As expected, you called Richmond's name.Â
âBe right back.â Terry reached the main counter again.Â
âHere you go.â You handed out his order and smiled once more.Â
âThank you.â Terry almost grinned before sitting back down.Â
______
Armando stepped up next and Terry observed everything.Â
Once you rang more items and called Aretas, Armando gathered his regular coffee and took one scone, not even messing up his device.Â
âNot bad.â Aretas said. âI'll have to leave soon, but thanks for helping.âÂ
âNo problem.â Terry nodded, but looked elsewhere as this Porsche rolled near the curb.Â
âGotta go.â Taking coffee, Armando stepped outdoors and joined the passenger seat of Mike Lowrey's classic ride.Â
______
Staying behind at the coffee shop, Terry observed how you handled customers and clocked out that afternoon, leaving this place just in time for lunch.Â
âExcuse me?â Richmond stood from that window seat and questioned you.Â
âYes?â You welcomed him outside as this bench waited near the storefront.Â
âI'm new here, so thank you for the coffee.â Terry stepped forward and shook hands.
âOf course.â You smiled.Â
âSomething happened at my apartment complex yesterday. This guy moved in, but officers showed up andâŚâ Richmond trailed off when you cleared your throat.Â
âArmando AretasâŚâ You nearly whispered. âThe police are quiet for different reasons now, but look up his name whenever you can. Most of that information is public.âÂ
âI will. Thank you.â Terry stood and began to walk away, but you spoke up once more.Â
âSee you tomorrow?â You wanted to know if Terry would come back.Â
âYeah, I don't mind. Take care.â Terry nodded and bid farewell, leaving your side.Â
******
Buying his own laptop, Richmond planned to learn information.Â
Nothing could've prepared him for upcoming details, though.Â
What the fuck?!Â
Realization tunneled this search. Soon enough, Terry's heart raced and dropped all at once.Â
Aretas launched havoc on several counts and attacked officials from the Miami precinct four years ago.Â
Richmond even found one vital news report from the large-scale case:Â
âFamed Miami Detective Mike Lowrey was shot one evening. The video quickly surfaced online and went viral in a matter of hours. Footage first appeared on the darknet and soon spread to mainstream social media platforms. Authorities believed that the shooter uploaded this video himself.â
Damn! Terry slammed his laptop, fed up beyond words.Â
No matter what, Armando's crimes remained true with permanent ink.Â
*****
Another morning brightened, yet Terry's mind clouded again.Â
When Armando's main door opened, Richmond almost flinched while unarmed.Â
âHey, hey, Woah! You good, T?â Armando lifted his empty hands.Â
âThe barista warned me and I did some research last night. Y'all left out too much.â Richmond turned frustrated without yelling. âNobody told me about your case.â
âDammit!â Aretas paced back and forth, quietly upset. âI can explain what happened, all right?â
âGo ahead.â Terry arched his brow. âI got plenty of time on my hands.â
_______
Sitting with Terry in private, Armando started talking first.Â
âAfter leaving the military, I joined the family cartel. My mother planned everything and hoped that I wouldn't spare Lowrey.â Aretas grounded his truth.Â
âWhat happened to your mother?â Terry settled the question.Â
She's dead.â Armando never hesitated with that phrase.Â
âDamn, man.â Richmond attempted. âThe case is harsh, but I'm sorry.â
âHonestly, there was nothing good about our situation.â Armando declined. âShe lied to so many people.âÂ
âYou learned the truth now, right?â Richmond attempted.Â
âYeah, but you know what? I really don't wanna talk about this anymore.â Mentally exhausted, Aretas stopped debating and glanced toward his new watch.
âFair enough. You're right, so let's get out of here.â Apologizing, Terry stood from the bench and followed Armando to this new spot.Â
*****
âHi, Terry. Good morning.â You've smiled and already learned his order as Richmond faced the register.Â
âMorning. Thank you for giving the update with Armando. We've talked.â Richmond quietly acknowledged how he checked details last night.Â
âOf course. We can't risk more issues if people haven't learned that case because Armando just got back.â You nearly whispered the response like codeÂ
âYou know a lot about this one.â Terry glanced around.Â
âI used to work as an informant.â Still facing Terry now, you offered black coffee and handed over this muffin again.Â
Wow. Richmond noted.Â
_____
âHey.â Slightly accented English rasped near your direction when Armando stepped forward.Â
âI'm not a snitch.â There's no joyful greeting this time around. âWe've lost too many people and I just want everyone else to be safe.âÂ
âI know.â Aretas completely understood your point.Â
âListen, I'm not afraid.â You arched one brow while ringing up his regular coffee with another scone.Â
âI searched your name, too. Why give up the police department for a coffee shop?â Aretas moved ten steps ahead and had learned all about your skills.Â
âYou.â Your genuinely pleasant voice darkened for the first time. âOnce the case guaranteed prison, I quit.â
âThought you weren't scared?â Armando slyly chuckled and departed the line, waiting for his order.Â
____
âArmando?â When you called his name, the area nearly silenced and almost everyone held their breath. Even Terry closed one fist to veil his mouth.Â
âOoh!â Everyone observed as you traded the items. Within seconds, Armando stepped back and didn't face drama.Â
When Aretas sat back down, Terry almost smirked.Â
âWhy the face?â Armando clipped.Â
âShe hasn't kicked you out.â Richmond pointed near the register as you kept working.Â
âWhatever.â Aretas casted both eyes toward that ceiling.Â
______
Armando exited that local coffee shop as Mike Lowrey's classic Porsche rolled out again. Before long, Richmond sat with privacy this time.Â
When you began to leave for lunch once more, Terry still noticed your presence.Â
âDon't worry.â Terry laughed and opened the front door for you. âI'm not hard-headed like Armando.âÂ
âVery funny.â You walked toward Florida sunlight and joined the storefront bench as usual. âAny plans today?â
âNo, Ma'am. Still figuring out my apartment complex.â Richmond glanced toward you.Â
âYou'll learn.â Now, your gentle voice encouraged him. âLiving somewhere new is a process.â
âI understand.â Terry nodded.Â
âOh, shit! Sorry, but I gotta go.â Your phone buzzed seconds later.Â
âNo problem. See you.â Saying goodbye, Terry watched you almost jog around the block for some odd reason.Â
What now? Richmond thought.Â
*****
Once you entered this restaurant, confetti popped upwards.Â
âHappy birthday!â Members of the AMMO squad cheered after standing from this large table.Â
âI thought you needed something! This is my lunch break.â You hugged weapons expert Kelly and tech genius Dorn laughed for a moment.Â
âWe've already cleared the schedule with your manager.â Captain Rita Secada welcomed your spot from that table. âTake this weekend off.â
âThank you, Rita. Everything looks great!â You smiled toward the platters and would share each meal with friends.Â
Just before indulging, you realized that Detective Marcus Burnett, Mike Lowrey's longtime partner and best friend, peeked around one corner.Â
âWhere's my niece? Happy birthday, girl!â Marcus shuffled footsteps into the private room.Â
âThank you, Marcus!â You opened both arms to hug Burnett and still observed his recovered heart.Â
Not long ago, Marcus collapsed during Mike Lowrey's wedding.Â
Lowrey fell in love with Christine, an experienced physical therapist. She also help .ed Mike heal with his shooting recovery that took place years back.Â
âDoesn't matter if you've left the team. You're still important, Rook.â Marcus shortened one of your nicknames.Â
âI appreciate it. How's everyone?â You acknowledged Burnett's family.Â
âEverybody's fine. Megan just gave birth to a baby girl.â Smiling, Marcus counted his second grandchild.Â
âAw! Congratulations, Grandpa.â You laughed while messing with Marcus. Even Kelly almost giggled.Â
âPop-Pop.â Marcus corrected the title and arched his brow toward you.Â
âYou're still old!â You joked right back and everyone cackled.Â
_______
âHappy birthday to you!â Servers pushed the cake forward as everyone sang along.Â
Grateful, you blew out candles and prepared your sweet tooth, sitting beside Kelly and Rita.Â
âOh, damn! You cut the cake already?â Detective Mike Lowrey showed up with his wife Christine.Â
âMight bring this party to the house, Rook. Now we're crammed in here!â Marcus chuckled.Â
âStop it, Marcus! Let's get some cake and go from there.â Mike jokes with his best friend.Â
Even you hugged Christine, sharing dessert with everyone as sunset arrived.Â
There was no better feeling here.Â
******
Armando returned to this apartment and showered after trading used car keys from Mike at the precinct.Â
Lowrey had just picked up his wife Christine to celebrate your birthday elsewhere.Â
âGoing back home with everybody if you wanna visit.â Mike called. âWe can't stay at this restaurant all night.âÂ
âI don't think she likes me.â Aretas knew better than to interrupt your surprise.Â
âEven you and I need to work on things, but I'm trying all right?â Lowrey still attempted. âCome over. It'd be good.âÂ
âI know. See you later.â Armando hung up, prepared to deal with the occasion.Â
****
âDon't argue tonight.â Marcus warned both you and Armando.Â
âHey, be careful. Now you're instigating.â Lowrey cautioned Burnett.Â
âHold up, I brought wine.â Settling down Mike and Marcus, Aretas carefully held two bottles.Â
âThank you.â Mike welcomed Armando inside and you found Christine again, heading to the backyard.Â
______
âStill mad at me?â Armando offered the question while sharing cake with you.Â
âNo.â You shook your head. âOnly cautious.â
âThat's fair.â Aretas nodded in return as music played.Â
âIn all seriousness, how are you doing?â You wanted to help Armando regardless.Â
âBetter. Things are pretty quiet.â Aretas offered his vague response.Â
âStarted messing with Terry yet?â You laughed about one regular from the coffee shop. Terry Richmond even became Armando's neighbor.
âNo, but can I ask you something?â Aretas leaned back in his chair.Â
âYeah?â You silently waited for Armando's next move.Â
âYou want him?â Armando clipped the unexpected idea.Â
âWhat are you talking about?â You squinted. âWe just met.âÂ
âY'all smile almost every day now.â Aretas pulled his observations with Terry. Even coffee transactions looked more joyful.Â
âIt's none of your business, but you sound jealous.â You nearly laughed.Â
âC'mere.â Throwing out trash for both of you, Armando started flirting.Â
âYes?â You stand from the table and trailed Aretas, intrigued.Â
âStop ignoring me.â His slightly accented English nearly whispered to reveal this truth. âIt actually hurts my feelings.â
âDid I hurt your feelings or bruise that ego?â You corrected his phrase this time. âGet it together, okay? You're not the big bad wolf anymore.âÂ
Taking your words, Armando became outright silent as you walked away and started dancing with everyone else that night.Â
*****
The next morning, you wake up after somehow choosing this living room floor.Â
In some corner, this air mattress waited nearby and even one of Armando's wine bottles looked empty.Â
What happened last night? Your now pounding mind buzzed questions.Â
When Kelly emerged from the kitchen, you took random sunglasses to dodge brightness.Â
âWhere's everybody?â You stood up and joined K, greeted by many choices to eat.Â
âMike and Christine are running errands, Rita left, and Dorn took my car to the auto shop.â Kelly pinpointed almost everyone.Â
Before you'd question Armando's spot, footsteps moved toward the living room.Â
âYou're wearing my sunglasses.â Aretas chuckled and gestured by your face.Â
As you gaped while embarrassed, Kelly covered her mouth in shock.Â
______
âWhat happened last night?â You offered the question between Armando and Kelly.Â
âLots of drinking and dancing.â Kelly just smiled towards you. âWe all crashed down here when Mike and Christine went upstairs.âÂ
âHow much did I drink?â You absolutely cringed right now.Â
âYou finished that wine bottle with Armando and danced together.â Kelly took a moment and drank water.Â
âDancing?â You then furrowed your brow near Aretas.Â
âYeah, it was fun.â Armando nearly smiled, but caught himself.Â
âI definitely have some videos. Hold on.â Kelly seemed more and more humored.Â
âOh, no!â You removed the sunglasses, but still veiled your face this time.Â
Just when Kelly began scrolling, Armando's phone started ringing. Â
âHello?â Both you and Kelly stopped messing around when Aretas picked up the call.Â
âDude, it's Terry. We need help, man!â Terry Richmond somehow contacted Armando.Â
âWhat happened? I'm listening.â Aretas put Richmond on speakerphone to hear every detail.Â
âThe coffee shop's manager is dead.â Terry exposed that truth loud and clear.Â
*****
As sirens wailed throughout and emergency lights flashed beyond direction, yellow tape met that coffee shop when law enforcement intervened.Â
For the first time since quitting, you prepped one of the uniform jackets and dodged guidelines to help. Sitting back would never become an option.Â
âEstimated time of death?â You questioned experts after joining that crime scene.Â
âLast night around 10:00 PM.â One professional spoke up this time.Â
âQuick kill. Discreet enough to avoid some outward panic.â Mike observed, requesting for you to bring Terry Richmond for questions. âGet Terry, Rook.â
âAll right.â You turned away from that body bag while the forensics team moved along.Â
______
âExplain what happened, T.â Drifting back to the police station, you joined Armando while Terry occupied this interrogation room. Â
âUh, everything seemed normal. Walked by the coffee shop and picked up my order as usual, but when I left that restroom to go home, there was spotting on the floor.â Terry leveled his response right now as bright eyes focused.Â
Spotting? Fuck! You realized. Blood.Â
âWhere did you find that spotting?â You offered more questions for Richmond while Armando typed. âDid you see anything in the restroom?âÂ
âNo, Ma'am.â Terry cleared his throat. âThere's an employee door and office space located directly across from restrooms.â
Bingo! Of course you memorized the layout this year and pictured each area.Â
âWho found that body?â You offered that chance just in case.Â
âI found your manager sitting dead in his office chair.â Richmond's deep tone answered.Â
Despite remaining composed, your heart still dropped.Â
______
âWe'll block this area until further notice. Who knows what else happened?â Returning to the crime scene, Lowrey took charge again.Â
âLooks like another homicide case.â Marcus Burnett cringed.Â
âNope.â Lowrey declined. âOur squad just confiscated plenty of drugs, too.âÂ
âWhat the hell?â Burnett still can't believe what's going on.Â
âRook, bring Terry along.â Lowrey asked you to invite Richmond near everyone else as a precaution.Â
Here we go.Â
*******
Once this team confirmed an investigation, Mike, Marcus and Rita returned home before kicking off the police department's brand-new game plan.Â
You bring Terry around as expected and gathered remaining members of the AMMO squad.Â
âSorry for the last-minute rush. We can't take any chances if you stay near that crime scene.â You explained this plan as Terry entered your house.Â
âDon't worry. I get it.â Terry nodded, glancing around.Â
âMake yourself at home. Kelly and Dorn would crash here all the time.â You welcomed Richmond.Â
âThank you.â Terry nodded and gathered his backpack, scoping the residence just in case. Â
______
While Kelly and Dorn occupied one of the guest rooms, Terry showered upstairs.Â
Down by that kitchen, you've set up this Bluetooth speaker and quietly played music while cooking for everyone. If only circumstances improved.Â
âHey.â Slightly accented English caught your attention and you carefully turned around.Â
âAlmost done making dinner. Did you need something?â You asked.Â
âWhere's your outlet? I just need to charge my phone. â Aretas lifted his cell.Â
âCheck underneath my kitchen counter.â You gestured for a moment and finished cooking as Armando walked over.Â
âThanks.â Armando plugged the phone and washed his hands, setting the table with five plates or matching silverware like second nature. Â
When that kitchen table looked ready this evening, you'd texted the group chat and everyone started heading downstairs without fail.Â
âSmells good in here.â Terry almost smiled over some good news.Â
âThank you, T.â You still expressed gratitude right now.Â
âYou're welcome.â Terry's bright eyes almost glinted once more.Â
Kelly and Dorn sat together, but Armando observed when Terry found this spot near you.Â
âLet's not mention the case. How's everyone feeling?â Dorn spoke up next.Â
âNever respond. We'll end up with therapy cardsâŚOw!â When Armando faced Terry, you stepped on his foot under the table.Â
âDon't be rude.â You say.
âThat hurt.â Aretas clenched his words near you and Terry sipped water to avoid laughing.Â
âGet some ice or stop complaining.â You're just trying to eat and Armando frustrated nerves once more.Â
âDamn!â Even Terry chuckled while Kelly and Dorn almost looked on.Â
âWhat's so funny?â Armando clipped venom toward Richmond this time.Â
âChillâŚâ Terry warned. âRegardless of the case, you're getting uptight now.â
At that moment, Armando stopped talking and excused himself from this table, choosing to finish his meal outside near the patio.Â
Ditching your meal, you followed his path and closed the sliding door.Â
______
âWhat the hell?â Your voice started debating. âYou can't keep doing this shit!â
âGo back inside and leave me alone.â Ignoring his plate now, Aretas locked eye contact with you.Â
âDon't tell me what to do in my own house!â This nearly raging tone gritted anger. âI brought y'all here for safety reasons.âÂ
âWhy even do it?â Armando kept going. âWe can take care of ourselves and you're not a babysitter.âÂ
âI won't leave anyone behind, not even you, Armando.â No matter what happened next, your words shared this vow.Â
âThanks.â Heading back, Aretas found his spot at the table and tried to feel better.Â
******
âEverything okay?â Terry checked on both of you when Kelly and Dorn planned to sleep.Â
âWe're good. See you in the morning.â Armando nodded and would shower late before resting himself.Â
âAight, see you tomorrow.â Richmond dapped up Aretas for the evening, but stayed downstairs with you.Â
Glancing over your shoulder, smiled for their moment of kindness.Â
_____
âDon't worry. I'll straighten things up. It's the least that I can do. Terry wanted to help out as you'd reorganize the kitchen.Â
âWe'll work together. Deal?â You compromised instead.Â
âDeal.â Terry cleared different places as you cleaned up. âSo how long did you stay with the police? Y'all have pictures everywhere.âÂ
âAbout seven years.â You've signaled the dishwasher. âAMMO wasn't even founded yet when I joined that precinct.âÂ
âImpressive.â Terry almost whistled before fanning out this new trash bag for the garbage.Â
âThank you.â You smiled and described the origin of your nickname: Rookie. âMike and Marcus call me Rook because of my age. It's not an academy thing.â
âYou know enough information and can't feel outdated here.â Terry washed his hands before sitting down in the living room once you both finished responsibilities.Â
âYeah. It's sad, but let's just say that older CIs aren't discreet anymore.â You joined Terry. âNo comfort means no details.âÂ
âHow did you find Big Dawg?â Almost laughing, Richmond vaguely referenced Armando.Â
âSomeone called with an anonymous tip that night.â You explained. âWe locked down coordinates and found a bloodbath sprawled out near the Miami Harbor.âÂ
Shit! Richmond shook his head.Â
âHow rough?â Terry went on.Â
âNo survivors: shootings, stabbings, money toppled over that dock. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen.â You remembered the problem, but never crossed Aretas until now.Â
Before Terry asked further questions, you both looked up to see Armando heading back downstairs.Â
Fuck. You thought.Â
Fresh out of the shower, Aretas wore this tank top with loose pants, heading back to the kitchen.Â
âWhat are you doing?â Changing the subject, you leave this couch and watch Armando get a snack.Â
âCan't sleep?â You laughed.Â
âIsn't it obvious?â Aretas casted both eyes toward that ceiling and found one bowl, dumping popcorn.Â
âGrouch.â Chiding Armando, you gathered more snacks to share with Terry as well. âWhat's wrong this time?â
âNothing.â Aretas declined.Â
âHey, don't start that shit again. âShe's just checking on you, all right?â As his deep voice returned, Terry defended you while correcting Armando.Â
âStay out of it because I wasn't even talking to you.â Aretas clipped right back.Â
âBe grateful that she didn't throw us to the wolves now.â Richmond nearly sized up Aretas while talking about your home. âWhat the hell is wrong with you, man?âÂ
âStop taking charge.â Armando backed off and gestured around.Â
âWhat are you talking about?â Terry squinted, puzzled.Â
âYou moved here and everybody thinks you're special, but I can't even spend five minutes alone with her.â Armando expressed himself. âMaybe we'd have a better relationship if you'd back off.âÂ
âNot my problem.â Terry lifted both hands, sitting beside you once more.Â
âWhat do you want?â You crossed both arms and looked toward Armando.Â
âDon't ask me that.â His voice noticed you even more as Armando took the popcorn and headed right back upstairs.Â
âWhat?â Frustrated, you squinted near Terry by this point.Â
âIt's better for everybody if you talk to him. Good night.â Arching his brow, Richmond leaves you as well.Â
______
When you finally planned to sleep in your own bedroom, someone knocked.Â
You opened this door to see Armando standing in the hall.
âHey. I'm sorry for irritating youâŚâ Your voice trailed off when Aretas stepped closer.Â
âI'm sorry.â His brown eyes locked your presence when Armando sniffled quietly. âI justâŚâ
âYeah?â You tried to listen because his voice still mattered.Â
âNothing changes what I did, but y'all still ganging up on me doesn't help, either.â Aretas expressed more feelings. âI might as well go back to prison.âÂ
âMaybe if you weren't so quick to hide from everyone, things would be different.â You offered another perspective. âI just wanna solve this case and go back to normal.â
âI know. It's not easy for me, but I'll try. Get some rest, okay?â Struggling this time, Armando stepped back and you could sleep without interruptions.Â
******
By morning, everyone settled around the kitchen together when you finished cooking breakfast.Â
âPass the hot sauce, baby girl?â Terry slipped that nickname by you while looking for one condiment.Â
âHere, T.â You didn't even correct him and exchanged the bottle, picking up silverware to eat again.Â
âThank you.â Terry nodded and spiced eggs for his meal, moving on.Â
Dorn and Kelly froze in unison here, surprised beyond words.Â
âEspero que te quemes la lengua.â Using his native language of Spanish, Armando wanted Richmond's tongue to burn.Â
âWhat was that?â Terry caught on.Â
âDoesn't matter.â Aretas stood from the table and noticed Richmond once more. âHelp us solve the case or leave.â
âBack up. Gettinâ tired of your attitude.â Of course Terry wouldn't fight, yet patience grew thin.Â
âGuysâŚâ Dorn wanted to settle this problem for everyone, but Kelly stopped him.Â
Terry sat back down and still warned Armando. âI thought you wanted another chance here.â
âStop assuming shit. You have no idea what's going on with me.â Aretas defended himself again.Â
Out of nowhere, your phone rings, breaking silence and moving tension elsewhere.Â
Putting the call on speaker for everyone, you know better this time.Â
âHello, who is this?â You leveled this question for so many reasons.Â
âHola, Mami. Que tal?â One familiar chuckle reached your phone when Armando's old goon Zway Rodriguez picked up.Â
âWhat did you do?!â After reaching his breaking point, Aretas snapped upon realization, held back by Terry and Dorn when hearing Zway's voice.Â
âJust keep me out of prison and I'll explain everything. OtherwiseâŚâ Zway requested his own terms.Â
âWhat?!â Armando's rage only worsened, but Terry and Dorn still wouldn't let go of Aretas.Â
âBe careful, man. I'd hate for this special girl to be the next target.â Zway dropped that call, bringing everyone into this chaotic frenzy.Â
******
âAre you saying that Zway killed this coffee shop manager?â As you stayed home, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett gathered AMMO members near the department.Â
âWe'll find out soon enough.â Dorn tracked information to find puzzle pieces for the case.Â
âCompromised again?â Mike questioned protocol once more.Â
âNo, but if we don't listen to Rodriguez, she'll be dead.â Dorn grounded the truth with your safety and planned to lock that case.Â
âBe careful while you plan Zway's interrogation, all right?â Marcus and Mike also warned Captain Rita Secada. âWe can't even put Armando in the same building.âÂ
âFair enough. Go ahead and deal with Rodriguez yourselves.â Rita stepped out of the precinct.Â
________
âListen, be grateful. Armando would've kicked your ass, Zway.â Marcus Burnett paced back and forth while questioning Rodriguez.Â
âNo, Marcus. If it wasn't for us, Zway would be dead at the morgue tonight.â Mike folded both arms and stood in one corner.Â
âKeep me out of prison.â Zway dared to speak this time.Â
âFirst of all, don't fuck around. Did you kill the coffee shop manager or not?â Mike Lowrey squinted.Â
âYeah.â Zway dropped his bored response without showing emotions.Â
âWhy?â Mike prompted immediate eye contact, keeping composure.Â
âIt's all revenge.â Zway continued. âI even planted drugs y'all found at the coffee shop.â
âRevenge for what?â Mike questioned.Â
âWhen Armando shot me near that helicopter four years ago, I fell into water, but survived.â Zway revealed. âKeep me away from prison unless you want problems.âÂ
Glancing toward one another, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett left the interrogation room.Â
_______
âIt's official, y'all. Zway just confessed to everything.â Marcus exposed the truth.Â
âIs it possible to keep him out of prison?â Dorn looked concerned.Â
âNo. We need a different plan.â Marcus shook his head.Â
âWe've got no other choice, then.â Lowrey darkened his voice.Â
âWhat the hell are we supposed to do?â Marcus worried.Â
âSomebody needs to kill Zway.â Lowrey couldn't turn back this time.Â
_______
While staying home as a precaution, you find Terry and Armando in the living room.Â
âHi.â You spoke up.Â
âHey.â Both protective men faced your direction as sympathy reached their eyes.Â
âThank you for looking out.â You've expressed so much more gratitude.Â
The doorbell prompted all three of you to glance forward, but Terry checked your RING Camera first.Â
âIt's Lowrey and Burnett.â Terry pinpointed your friends.Â
âLet them in, T.â You offered permission, but Armando stood up anyway, ready for the next plan.Â
âBefore we start talking about this shit, c'mere, Rook.â Lowrey opened both arms to hug you.Â
And for the first time since handling Zway's call, your eyes began to well up. Even Marcus wouldn't pass jokes.Â
âWhat's the plan?â Your kind voice lowered without hesitation.Â
âSomebody needs to kill Zway, but Armando can't do it or he'll go right back to prison.â Mike revealed this truth.Â
There's no other choice. You've realized the possible outcome.Â
âAll right, then.â Enough was enough. âBring the squad together and back me up. Whatever happens, I'm not going down without a fight.â
______
By nightfall, members of the AMMO squad returned to your home and prepared this attack from different corners.Â
âWatch the house, Terry.â You offered brief yet vital instructions. âThat's all we need from you.âÂ
âYes, Ma'am. Be careful.â Armed himself, Richmond focused as you rolled out with everyone and silently waited for more.Â
******
âHave Armando take henchmen, Mike!â Marcus yelled out loud while steering another motorcycle and neon lights painted streets. "Don't let him catch Zway!âÂ
âThis is a battlefield, Marcus!â Lowrey moved among blaring engines. âNo more rules. I am not responsible for Armando tonight.âÂ
âWhat about his redemption, Mike?â Marcus still attempted to be logical.Â
âIf Rook dies, Armando's second chance won't even matter.â Lowrey gritted his teeth over your chance to live. âLet's go!âÂ
______
Zway Rodriguez punched speed without fail as racing motorcycles caught up.Â
Glancing past his shoulder, Zway quickly realized that someone lifted their firearm while still directing the motorcycle.Â
No! Only one person crossed missions through anger four years ago.Â
Armando returned.Â
âIt's Aretas, move faster!â Zway attempted to warn other goons.Â
While Zway prepared to dodge Armando, he didn't even notice that your motorcycle joined this fight.Â
âHere's payback.â You pulled this trigger and immediately spiraled Zway's route, dashing to escape between shadows.Â
âZway's dead!â Armando turned near you without removing his helmet.Â
âFollow back to my house! We gotta check on Terry.â You would return home as expected.Â
******
No targets, only silence.Â
Terry Richmond heightened awareness while keeping watch in your home. Even distant sounds located for the neighborhood matter at this point.Â
When engines revved out loud to line up vehicles this evening, Terry knew that signal.Â
The AMMO squad returned.Â
âOpen the door, T!â You hurried to run inside with everyone else.Â
âC'mon!â Terry almost pulled the doorknob this time.Â
Kelly and Dorn entered first, no longer hiding in that surveillance van.Â
Mike and Marcus pulled through next as Rita stepped up before long.Â
When you and Armando reached this house, pain nearly dampened Terry's face.Â
Regardless of the plan, it's still a miracle that you're alive.Â
Just when this group would settle with relief, lights shut down as the home turned pitch-black.Â
âStay armed and keep watch here! No friendly fire.â Terry warned you and the AMMO squad.Â
Within seconds, glasses shattered from rear living room windows as bullets rattled, searching for carnage.Â
âLook out!â You screamed, trying to defend yourself while every moment prompted chaos.Â
Yet when lights returned for the living room, everyone else glanced around, realizing that Armando and Terry no longer battled here.
âBe careful while searching for them. We gotta move!â Lowrey stepped over countless bodies while instructing all of you.Â
Where did y'all go?! Your thoughts rushed as panic heightened even more.Â
______
âNo corras!â Rasping Spanish once more, Aretas warned enemies not to run. Seconds later, vengeful bullets sparked through lethal fire.Â
âI hear Armando's voice in the garage.â Kelly finally noticed echos. âGo, go, go!âÂ
Scoring the garage, you found absolute carnage here. Even Terry moved forward and disarmed other goons.
âListen! Either deal with me or I'm throwing you to him. It's your choice.â Richmond still warned targets about Aretas.Â
As bullets raced, fear struck combatants every single time.Â
âGive me your weapons and leave.â Terry gritted without hesitation.Â
While still fighting others, everything slowed down when this bullet pierced time.Â
You fell back and toppled against the hard floor right now.Â
âDammit, she's hit. Armando!â Terry barked through shock.Â
As blood spilled with each passing moment, you wince despite the guard of your own vest.Â
Footsteps rushed to your aid as you still recognized Kelly and Dorn.Â
âCall paramedics!â Dorn hurried.Â
Rita, Mike and Marcus kept fighting elsewhere in the house, not realizing your injury yet.Â
âTâŚ.â You struggled, grimacing without assistance.Â
âWe'll handle this, all right?â Terry still planned to help right now. âKeep your eyes open.âÂ
Soon enough, Footfalls dashed to reveal Armando's presence.Â
âMove!â Slightly accented English pulled more feelings when Aretas shoved Richmond out of his way. âWhat the fuck happened?!
Entering the garage themselves, Mike, Marcus and Rita stood flabbergasted on sight.Â
âAw, shit!â Mike grilled everyone over your accident. âShe's losing too much blood past the vest. Where's medical?!âÂ
âI already called for help!â Dorn shouted with an explanation.Â
âWell, medics better hurry up and reach that bullet!â Marcus exposed his anger. âMy niece is dying.âÂ
Just when you trembled near deadly pain, sirens wailed outside once more.Â
******
While beeping sounded, fluorescent lights almost blinded your vision as you woke up in the hospital.Â
âHey, Rook.â Detective Mike Lowrey joined your bedside this morning.Â
âH-Hi...â As you struggled talking, exhaustion replaced that cheerful voice.Â
âJust take it easy.â Mike cautioned. When you sat up, different wires aided.Â
âTerry and Armando?â You looked for Richmond and Aretas.Â
âYou got it. I'll get 'em right now.â Mike pointed between you and the door.Â
_____
âShe's awake, c'mon.â Crossing the lobby, Mike updated Terry and Armando as you wished. Â
âMade it. How are you doing?â Before long, Terry knocked first and held flowers, showing this rare yet great smile.Â
âTired.â You attempted.
âBetter than nothing. You're still here.â Terry joined the bedside chair and sat down.Â
âWhat happened?â You couldn't help asking questions despite everything.Â
âWe barely reached the hospital and experts took out your bullet during surgery.â Richmond never lied.Â
âThank you.â Your pained voice expressed gratitude once more.Â
âYou're welcome.â Terry said. âHave you eaten yet?âÂ
âI can't stomach anything. Maybe later.â Even your throat seems uncomfortable.Â
âOkay.â Richmond took notice. Let me know and we'll help out.âÂ
Knocks resumed and Armando stepped in, no longer wearing tactical gear.Â
âHey, sorry.â Aretas walked closer. âI got some water for you and the vending machine held up.â
âThanks.â You tried.Â
âWe just found out that you'll be discharged soon.â Armando revealed.Â
âHow soon?â You questioned.Â
âTonight or tomorrow.â Armando nodded.
âThank you.â It's a habit just to repeat that kind phrase.Â
Even while you smiled through fatigue, your mood brightened again.Â
*****
Given permission to leave that hospital, you could finally return home, but wouldn't handle work until further notice. There's no other choice this time.Â
Headlines soon revealed that the coffee shop became defunct. This establishment pulled too much drama following Zway's dark investigation.Â
During your recovery, even Armando helped on a regular basis and only slept from his downtown apartment when working at the police station.Â
Sooner than later, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett had planned another special cookout for the department. Friends still invited you today.Â
Planning to leave with Armando, you both signaled the group chat first.Â
âWhere's Terry?â Moving near that driveway, you haven't heard from Richmond yet.Â
âI don't know.â Armando finished packing this car as you joined the passenger seat. âHe might've gone to the park early or something.â
Just before Aretas would drive, another vehicle pulled up.Â
Richmond turned down the driver's seat window of this brand-new SUV. Â
âWhat are y'all waiting for? Let's go!â Chuckling through joy, Terry guided your route toward the public park.Â
This happy ending could shine at last.Â

A/N3: Heartfelt thanks to @Selina012 for joining me in writing ideas and with dialogue for this chapter.
en route to Rome, Italy
Seated behind his computer screen, Liam scrolled through the files his advisors had given him earlier in the day. It was late into the evening and the plane was quiet. Drake was asleep in his chair, snoring softly, and Bastien was seated nearby, his eyes trained on his book. Rashad, standing for the crownâs legal counsel, was reviewing the proposals that would be discussed and implemented if agreed upon.
The only sound came from the occasional beep of the computer's keyboard as Liam entered the codes that would allow him to access the secure files. Sitting back, he began to read through and analyze the information. After an hour or so had passed by, Liam stopped to acknowledge the flight attendant who set down a late snack and two fingers of scotch.
After taking a sip, he turned to his head guard.
"I hope I'm not interrupting," Liam said quietly as he closed the laptop and set it aside.
"Of course not, sir," Bastien said. "What's on your mind?"
"I just had an interesting chat with a source. There have been rumors circulating in Cordonia that the 'Sons of the Earth' are organizing. The Sons have been out of power since the last time they rose up to oppose the monarchy over a decade ago.â
"They were never a real threat," Bastien stated, his tone confident.
"My source tells me that a new leader has risen within their ranks, someone who is very charismatic, and able to sway the others with his message. I am concerned, Bastien. The Sons were always an extreme faction, and they could prove dangerous if allowed to regain power."
"You want me to find out more about them?"
"Yes," Liam nodded. "And be discreet. If it turns out that this new leader has no real power, we can put this behind us. But if there's any threat or danger, we need to be ahead of it."
"Of course, sir. I will situate agents immediately."
"Thank you, Bastien." Liam's expression grew pensive as he turned back to open the computer. "There is something else."
"Sir?"
"This source tells me that the Sons' leader has taken a particular interest in a member of the nobility. It is believed that the noblewoman is being used to gain support among the other houses.â
"Which noblewoman?"
"Duchess Adelaide Amaranth," Liam answered, his gaze hardening. "According to the information I have, factions have been allowed to situate in Krona."
"You want me to investigate her involvement, as well."
"I'd like you to bring her in and question her, yes. And I want a full investigation into her financial records. See if you can uncover any ties between her and the Sons."
"Consider it done, sir."
Liam loved the power and responsibility of his role as the crown prince. He thrived on the challenges and opportunities it provided, and was excited for the day he would take the throne as king.
With his advisor's files securely tucked away, Liam leaned back in his chair, a slight smile on his lips. He was confident in his ability to lead Cordonia into a brighter future, and he knew that with his team of advisors, he would be successful.
He had never felt so ready for the challenges ahead, and he couldn't wait to take his place as Cordonia's leader. He glanced at his ring, the royal seal engraved on it and smiled.
Liam knew he was doing the right thing. He was prepared and would not let his country down. He would protect it, care for it, and ensure that it remained prosperous and safe for generations to come.
He thought back to his father, and the legacy he would leave behind. Liam knew that his father had been a good king, and he hoped to emulate him as much as possible. He hoped that he would live up to the standard his father had set.
But more than anything, he was looking forward to starting a life with Sophie. Their relationship was a secret for now to many, but he knew that their time would come. He had been thinking about their future together a lot lately, and he had an idea of what he wanted to do.
University of Cordonia, student dorms, Candaceâs suite
Sophie stood in front of the mirror, helping Candy fix the accessories in her hair. "Candy, you look amazing, and you will definitely be the center of attention at the party tonight."
Candy, who was wearing a long purple dress, smiled and turned to take a satisfied look at her makeup. "Thanks Sophie! I picked this dress out especially for the grad, and Tom will be there, too. It's the first time we've ever been to a formal event like this together."
Sophie smiled with a hint of envy. "It's nice, you two look so good together. Speaking of which, Tom is your third boyfriend at Uni, right? You are always so popular with the guys."
Candy winked mischievously and patted Sophie on the shoulder. "Oh, Soph, don't say that. I'm just looking for the one who really belongs to me."
"Maybe, Candy," Sophie said, shaking her head. "I guess I just haven't met anyone yet. I am just fussy and hard to please," she grinned.
"...and you're almost a graduate. Why don't you even try to get a boyfriend? Maybe you're expecting too much of your future boyfriend, too."
Sophie laughed and waved her hand in front of her. Her relationship with Liam was still âunder wrapsâ with only family and Daniel knowing the truth. "No, it's not that. I have had some bad luck with dating in the past. And besides, I have other priorities."
Candy raised her eyebrows. "Other priorities?"
"Like finishing my education and starting my career." Sophie shrugged.
"Sophie, you know that's not enough to keep a man happy," Candy teased.
Candy's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Tom. Candy suddenly smiled with joy, picked up the phone in front of Sophia and began to talk to Tom endlessly.
Sophie's sighed and went out on the balcony alone. The sky was now dark, and the stars dotted the night sky. The cool evening breeze touched her face and soothed her heart. As she looked around, the campus was enveloped in a colorful glow. The trees and buildings were decorated with all kinds of colorful lights and decorations. The celebration of the end of the school year filled every corner.
She picked up her phone and sent Liam a quick text and snapshot of the view from the balcony, her fingers jumping across the screen, and finally pressed send. But as the minutes ticked by Liam's response was slower to arrive than usual.
Sophie's eyes flashed a hint of loss, and she put the phone down slowly. She took a few deep breaths and recalled that Liam had said the previous night that he was going on a four-day business trip to Italy with his advisors. Perhaps he is now busy meeting with the Italian politicians. In a few days they'd see each other again, she put her phone into her clutch and smiled.
Just then the balcony door was pushed open. Candy, with a glow of happiness on her face walked quickly out onto the balcony and said excitedly, "Tom is waiting downstairs, we must go. Are you ready?" Sophie nodded and smiled at Candy, happy for her. "I'm ready, let's go."
Outside the building, a young man with a bouquet of flowers stood by the roadside waiting. Upon seeing Candy, he spread his arms in joy and the two embraced followed by a passionate kiss. Sophie looked at their sweet exchange, with both blessing and faint envy in her heart. But she quickly recovered her mood and followed them on to their way to the auditorium.
U. of C. Auditorium
As they stepped inside, the grandeur of the space overwhelmed Sophie. The walls were lined with intricately carved stonework and the ceilings were adorned with ornate frescoes depicting the history of Cordonia.
The stage was set at the far end of the hall, with a large, curved platform flanked by rows of velvet chairs.
The room was filled with the sounds of conversation and laughter, as hundreds of students and their families gathered for the event.
"There you are!" Maxwell exclaimed, as Sophie approached the group. "We were starting to wonder if you were going to miss the ceremony."
Sophie grinned. "No way. I wouldn't miss this for anything."
She reached out to give Maxwell a hug and was surprised to find that he was wearing a tuxedo. "I see you decided to dress up for the occasion," she said, amused.
"Yeah, mom insisted!"
Maxwell gestured to Daniel, who was dressed similarly in a tailored suit, his hair combed neatly. "Squirrel!" Daniel shouted as Bertrand and her uncle Barthelemy looked on in dismay.
***
As the graduation ceremony ended, the excitement in the auditorium grew as the lights dimmed, signaling the start of the post formal festivities.
The sound of the band started, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the stage behind the dance floor.
Above the dance floor the ceiling was covered with gold tassels and twinkling crystal lights which complemented the colorful balloons and streamers surrounding the parquet floor.
A spotlight illuminated the space where a young man stood in a white tuxedo, a microphone in his hand.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice ringing out through the hall. "I am your host for this evening, and it is my great pleasure to welcome you all here to celebrate the graduating class of 2024."
There was a smattering of applause from the crowd. The host grinned. "It's time for the graduates to strut their stuff on the dance floor. Will all the students please take their places for the first dance."
Sophie laughed as she watched Maxwell and Daniel sashay arm in arm to the center.
Aunt Bethany gently tapped her shoulder. âDear, your uncle, Bertrand, Sav and I are heading home. Have fun tonight.â Kissing her auntâs cheek, Sophie turned her attention back to the dance.
âYou guys can go dance then and I'll walk around.â Sophia smiled as she told Candy and Tom motioning towards the dance floor. Despite feeling a little lonely inside she wanted to give them some space to be alone.
âOkay, see you later Soph!â Candy and Tom smiled at each other and walked arm and arm into the dancing crowd. Looking at their backs Sophie took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Memories of her first dance with Liam flooded her thoughts, seeming to have just happened yesterday. What would happen if you were by your side tonight, Liam? Maybe he would gently take her hand and ask her to dance with him or maybe they would sneak out of the room and find a quiet corner to enjoy some alone time and sweet solitude. Sophie moved through the crowd alone, occasionally greeting acquaintances, but more often she just quietly observed everything and everyone around her.
That is when the mood at the party suddenly turned eerie. The lights began to flicker and then the whole venue was plunged into darkness. The sounds of people began to cry out as they looked for their companions. What is the matter - is there a power outage? Sophie mumbled to herself as she was about to take out her phone for light. But that was forgotten as she heard gunfire in the distance, which instantly destroyed all the peace and beauty of the evening.
âIt's a shooting!â A frightened voice broke through the darkness as people started running and screaming wildly. Sophie's heart raced as she pressed against a wall trying to find a safe refuge as the emergency lights clicked on. Out of nowhere, Sophie felt a stinging pain on her cheek and forehead. She touched it with her hand and blood smeared on her fingertips having been cut in the face by shards of flying glass. Being surrounded by a chaotic crowd and the sounds of more gunfire, Sophie never felt more terrified and helpless than ever before.
Sophie looked through the flickering lights and saw strange figures flash through the window. Each of them was dressed in black and wore a black mask showing only their cold eyes. What was even more bizarre was the emblem on their chests. Each had been embroidered with a strange pattern. A picture of the earth with a baby was intertwined. It was unclear and strange who or what this referenced. Sophie took out her phone to film them but then another shot rang out close by which made her jump. In a panic the crowd rushed in her direction and in chaos her phone was flipped out of her hands by a fleeing person which flew several meters slamming into to the ground.
Regardless of the panic she felt at the moment, Sophie quickly took advantage of a few people moving out of her way to run and pick up her phone and placed it into her pocket, the screen smashed. The sound of her name being called brought Sophie's mind back to reality. She turned her head and saw that Tom had been shot in the shoulder in the confusion and his blood was red on the floor and down the front of his suit jacket. Candy was also cut in the arm by flying shrapnel and in pain, huddled on the ground beside Tom.
Sophie, ignoring the pain on her face, struggled to rush to them and used her whole-body strength to help the two people up amid all the chaos and despair. She found a glimmer of strength in the fear she felt for her friend and the thought of Liam. Grabbing a table napkin, recalling the first aid she had learned during her Girl Scouts years, she made emergency bandages for both of them. as she bandaged, she looked around from time to time looking for possible escape routes, but the smoke and the fire blurred her vision, and every step was full of unknown and danger.
Candy knelt down beside Tom and held him tight ignoring the pain on her arm. Her voice crying was pain and heartache Tom's face was pale as paper, but his eyes still flashed with the will to live. âCandy, sweetie ...â Tom struggled to lift his wounded hand and gently wiped the tears from Candyâs face and forced a smile, although his own gunshot wound to the shoulder had nearly knocked him unconscious.
âWe have to get out of here, quick.â Sophie had just finished patching up Tom's shoulder and stood up. âLet's go that way ... there seems to be an exit.â She said pointing to a looming door not far away. Candy dried her tears, and she nodded. Together they supported Tom, struggling through confusion and fear, Sophie leads them through the sea of fire and debris.
Rome, Italy
A sleek, black limousine drove through the city, navigating the busy streets until it arrived at a five-star hotel located in the historical centre.
Liam sat inside the spacious interior, his gaze fixed out the window as the scenery rushed past them. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Sophie, her face, her smile. The memory of the softness of her skin, the gentle curves of her body beneath his touch. He was anxiously waiting for her response to his text.
He was going through the days events of the first day of his official business meetings he had today. It was a very productive and busy day of meetings with the prime minister of Italy, the minister for economy, the mayor of Rome and others to discuss international issues, economic growth and cultural exchanges between Cordonia and Italy.
But there was a part of him that wasn't fully focused on the job at hand. His initial plan for this Italian trip was to formally propose, to show his family and country that their future Queen was the most important person in his life.
He remembered seeing the display of jewelry at the Cartier store, he had a ring, a symbol of their commitment picked out for her. Now, inside his suit jacket, that diamond ring was nestled safely next to his heart.
Liam started to become tense and anxious that he didn't hear anything from Sophie.
Rashad watched from the other side of the vehicle with concern. He cleared his throat and broke the silence. "You alright, my boy?" He asked softly.
Liam shook his head and forced a half-hearted laugh. "Sorry...I've got a lot of things on my mind right now."
"Yes," Rashad replied. "A lot of big decisions on the horizon. So how'd today go, if I may ask? I wasn't there at the meeting of the prime minister. How was it?"
Liam straightened his posture and raised his chin.
"I think it went very well. I gave a very encouraging speech and I was able to make him agree with our position about our partnership between the two nations. That should help open more trade deals and increase exports to other countries, maybe even beyond the EU, like China or the UAE."
Rashad nodded proudly. "Excellent."
The two men continued their discussion as the limo wound its way through the city towards the luxury hotel. After a short drive, the vehicle drew up to the entrance.
Drake smiled at the luxury accommodation and turned to Liam. "And the hotel you're staying in is The Ritz, right?"
Liam raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"This is where I'm staying for the duration of the trip, but I did the preliminary negotiating with them before we left so my entourage could get the penthouse floor. But first, my friend," Liam chided playfully, "I have to make a statement for diplomacy purposes."
Liam emerged from the limo as the reporters and press begin flashing their cameras as paparazzi called out for his attention.
'Ecco qui, Nostrand alternative!'
["Over here, Your Highness!" ]
"Your Highness, do you have any comments for the press?"
"Can you tell us what the plans are for the Cordonian delegation while in the city?"
Liam looked at the cameras and responded.
'Il mio governo attende con ansia i nostri dibattiti su come promuovere la crescita economica e le opportunita per i nostri Paesi, affinche tutti i nostri cittadini possano.'
["My government looks forward to our discussions about promoting economic growth and opportunities for our countries, so that everyone in our citizens can prosper and enjoy the benefits of progress." ]
The gathered journalists cheered, and a member of the concierge team opened the door and led Liam, Rashad, Drake and Bastien into the opulent interior of the building.
Before entering the elevator, Liam paused and turned to Bastien. "i need you to locate Lady Sophia. I have been unable to contact her since leaving Cordonia."
"Right away, sir."

fuuta ranking â Top 5 most compatible khr characters with Kana ⥠I would like the tea
Thank you for sending this Jojo! đâ¨Considering the type of person Kana is and her lore, this was quite hard to come up with. I think for her, an incompatibility ranking would be easier to make đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł (e.g. yeah she hates this guy, yeah and this guy too!)
After much thinking, here is the top 5 most compatible characters for Kana-chan!
1. Kurumi&... (x)
Though the stream is divided by a boulder in its swift flow, I know the twain will soon unite again.
2. Kurumi!!! (x)
Into the gaps between the flower petals, the two of us come falling down How many times have our hearts crumbled? If it has to come to letting go when our hands have finally joined, It doesn't matter if our wishes don't come true As long as you're there with me.
3. Kurumi... (x)
Even with my heart beyond help⌠I walked together with you...
4. Kurumi...? (x)
In our days together, the smile you showed me Is so kind and tender, It will never disappear Please stay like that for eternity You don't have to understand anything.
5. Kurumi(?) (x)
When in sleepâ Is only what we see then To be called a dream? This fleeting world, too, I cannot see as reality.
Phew! Now that the legally required special Kurumi category is done, we can move on to the top 5 most compatible canon KHR characters with Kana.
For this one, the main criteria we looked for are people she gets along/would agree with without the divine Kurumi intervention (regardless if they will ever even meet or not), so I'm dissecting her brain a bit. But just a little bit, otherwise it'll be dangerous đđđ (stalking her in my brain w/o the Kurumi or Yui factor is hard ueueueue)
Anyway, top five in no particular order (for now), except #1 is kinda obvious:
â Yamamoto Takeshi
She has nothing against genuine and earnest people like him, she appreciates them actually. Even moreso, if it's someone who can live by their ideals no matter what. Despite his natural talent as a hitman, he somehow has this interesting stubbornness to not kill people, even if his own life is in danger. She personally finds such a thing difficult to do, it's way easier to kill them quickly, so it's something she can respect.
That's why when she was asked to assist in training him, she didn't really argue against it, even though he's technically already someone from Vongola by then. He's smarter than he lets on, that much she knows. She wonders how long he'll pretend that this is all a game of mafia.
When Yamamoto came over to the Ninomiya Estate to train with her, he introduced himself to her parents (who happened to both be home at that time) as her friend. Upon hearing of such a thing, Kana's parents started tearing up dramatically in such an exaggerated manner. "Ah! Our beloved Kana-chan finally has a friend outside of this Family!"
â Giotto (Vongola Primo)
"The Vongola Primo believes that someone who abandons their own friends cannot be entrusted with the position as the boss of his Family."
Due to Oniyanagi and Vongola's long history together, he always makes it perfectly clear to his father how difficult he finds it to trust the Vongola Family, even if both organizations currently have a stable business partnership. A long history like this can only serve to lower one's guard, opening an opportunity for betrayal.
However, the thing he can agree with from the bottom of his heart (if any) regarding Vongola Primo is that they both wouldn't abandon their respective Families. If shit hits the fan, his priority is his own Family. The succeeding Vongola boss is just gonna have to fend for himself.
"But didn't the book say "friends" not "Family"?" "Aren't they technically the same?" "Yesn't."
â Reborn
Reborn being world's strongest hitman is something they found to be quite respectable, they even passed by each other on a few missions before. But him trying to be their tutor is something that they find to be quite troublesome. Their parents told them that the only ones getting "tutored" is Tsuna and his potential guardians after all. Nevertheless, it's not like they don't understand the lessons that he's trying to teach them. It's just that they're not in the mood to improve themselves in such a manner.
There are a good several times though when their brains would eclipse and the endpoint personal victim would be Tsuna.
"Kana, I need you to do something." "No thanks, I'm busy right now." "If you follow through, Tsuna will get punk'd in the end. Kurumi might just laugh if it's funny enough." "Ok."
â Hibari Kyoya
He's an admirable person who carries himself with such confidence and with full belief in himself. Undeterred by what's considered common by people around him, he paves his own path solely based on his own ideals and beliefs. It's almost as if he can overcome anything with his strength no matter what.
Whenever they slightly let their guard down, he might just remind them of a person they look up to. With the phrase itself "look up to" being an extreme understatement. Whenever they see the sight of that black coat of his hanging off his shoulder, swaying in the air, they can't help but think: "Isn't it disgusting? When you begin to recall such a warm memory, but feel thoroughly cold instead."
It's precisely because he's the exact type of person that they would've been fond of long ago that they need to deny anything he asks of them beyond arm's length transactions. Yet, look what he's trying to get them into, provoking them to reveal all their cards so early? What a bastard. There must be something wrong with him. But, who are they to criticize him in the first place? When, surely enough, there's a lot of things wrong with them, way more than whatever is wrong with him.
Proud battle-sexual vs Closet battle-sexual - where the former is trying to get the latter off the closet by bulldozing through them. But the latter keeps finding new closets to hide in. Their LG/BT stands for Lethal Gruesome Beatdown Tournament. They are both having a fun time, no cap.
â Checker Face
Compromising the lives of a "few", for the "greater good" is something they would agree on. Though, what they respectively consider as "greater good" might be different.
The means to an end only matter if you have viable options to choose from in the first place. If there's no other means, then it unfortunately just couldn't be helped, right?
"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. And as I kneel here now; hands red with blood, I know deep down, that I'll do it again."

It's Just business 5: Cleaning
TADAAAA
Fandom: One Piece (LA mainly)
Rating: Teen so far
Pairing: Sanji/Reader
Warnings: No real warnings, but god, I hope you like pining
Summary: You felt like you had known Sanji forever, considering your family had been the main merchants Zeff used to supply the Baratie. You had a small crush on him, but knew it was hopeless considering you were the one woman he didn't seem to pine over.Â
It was fine. Or so you thought until you ended up on the Going Merry as a bookkeeper and supply manager. Being around him 24/7 was a lot more difficult than just a few days a week. Â
(Please note ă°ă denotes a scene in the past while -*- will be a regular scene break. Because yeah, I like my non-linear story telling.)
Masterpost | Ao3
CleaningÂ
Sanji was lost in thought as he cleaned the galley after breakfast. Granted, there wasn't much. Zeff had drilled it into him to clean as he went. He did more out of habit, as well as allowing himself the time to think.
He was overjoyed that you had joined the Straw Hat crew despite your obvious hesitancy. Leaving Baratie and Zeff was one thing-- it was hard but also freeing. Like a bird leaving the nest once it was fully fledged, and taking flight to find its own way in life.Â
But leaving you? That hadn't sat so well in his chest. Despite not actually being in his day-to-day life, you were still a constant. He had counted the days passing on the Baratie by how many more until you returned.Â
The mere idea of not seeing you for who-knew-how-long had terrified him. Never seeing your smile again, or being able to wrap you in his arms tight and feeling you all but melt against him as you squeezed him back? It would be a nightmare.Â
Thank the gods you decided to follow. He had been over the moon when you conceded; you and him, finding the All Blue. Together, just as he often dreamt.Â
He hadn't really given much thought as to why you caved despite your initial reluctance. But after last nightâŚ
-*-
"So why are you flirting so much with Nami when you already have a girlfriend?"
Everyone in the men's quarters froze at Usopp's sudden question. Sanji was convinced he had misheard him, which - considering they were all getting ready for bed - was understandable, and asked: "I'm sorry, what?"
Usopp fidgeted, obviously uncomfortable with everyone's attention now on him and the tense feeling in the air. "I mean, you've been flirting with Nami kinda hard. Like, full-on heart eyes whenever our navigator is even mentioned. So do you and our new helmsman-slash-bookeep have like, and open relationship, orâŚ"Â
Sanji laughed despite the uncomfortable feeling of his face growing warm. "God no, nothing like that. We're just close friends is all."Â
The silence didn't ease any, and all three men were staring at him now. "What?" Sanji finally asked. "Do you have a problem with that?"Â
"Just the fact it's bullshit," Zoro muttered, one eye opened from his own hammock.Â
Sanji crossed his arms. "Well I wouldn't expect you to know much about having friends."Â
"Nah. Zoro's right," Luffy added. "You two are closer than friends."Â
He was definitely blushing by now, and the urge for a cigarette was itching at him. "I assure you, we are not. There is nothing romantic between us."Â
Which, that was a half-truth. He couldn't deny the fact he was still in love with you, at least not to himself. He was convinced no matter what, he was always going to love you. But you had made it clear you weren't interested in him that way, and he'd respect that.Â
"Like I said, bullshit."Â
-*-
Why had you decided to change your mind? Was it simply that the bonds of friendship were that strong, and you were already wavering that his request had broken your resolve?
Sanji had given up on you returning his feelings years ago. He had flung himself into trying to find those same emotions in other women in an attempt to cover up the ache from the realization no matter what he did, you never believed he was being serious.Â
That plan had worked - for the most part - back at the restaurant. It had only ached a little bit when you and him would steal a bottle of wine and escaped to the back deck to catch up. To hear your laughter echo across the night, cheeks darkened from the alcohol. Or the fact you would end up cuddled to his side after a few drinks, desperate for human touch after being by yourself for such long periods of time. He couldn't help but indulge in the chance. Arm slung over your shoulder, dreaming of what-ifs and maybes as you would both lapse into companionable silence. Pressing a kiss to your forehead when he could tell you were on the verge of sleep before gently encouraging you to bed.Â
And now he was going to be around you everyday; hearing that laugh, seeing that smile... Nami was a beautiful woman, but she had nothing on the way your face lit up with delight as you bantered back and forth. How you literally would try to bite back a smile while pretending to be upset.Â
How was he supposed to keep his heart contained? If the rest of the crew already thought you were romantically involved, surely you would catch on as well. That the indulgent touches, his pet names, all of it wasnât as platonic as you believed.
Would there be that disgust in your expression like when you caught him flirting with others--Nami included? Would you be angry? Or would you laugh in his face before pity overcame your expression and you told him you would never feel that way for him?Â
Could he even dare to hope that maybe, despite everything, youâd blush shyly and smile at him? Or-- more likely-- smack his arm while burying your face against him as you were prone to do when embarrassed.Â
God, if only.
Sanji was pulled out of his thoughts as the door opened and you wandered in, face reddened by the sun and wind. "Damn, you've really been busy. I expected at least a few of Luffy's dishes left."Â
Sanji smiled as he threw the dish towel over his shoulders before leaning against the island separating you. "It's easy to clean when he doesn't leave anything but crumbs. Were you going to come help, or do you have something else on your mind?"
You shrugged your shoulders as you leaned against the island as well, mimicking his pose. "Mmm, sorta? Mostly just missing the covered helm of my ship, to be honest. I'm going to be sunburnt as hell, but also I just wanted to come bother you." Your smile grew as you winked. "Just think, I get to be a pain in your ass all the time now."Â
That damned smile of yours was going to be the death of him, yet at the same time he knew he'd die a happy man. "How ever am I going to survive the horror of being stuck on a ship with two lovely women as well as being the boss of my own kitchen?" He teased back, delighted as your face turned darker yet and you looked away.Â
"You dork," You scoffed. "You would be in seventh-heaven right now. I can't believe we're heading to the freaking Grand Line. As pirates. My parents are probably swearing up a storm right now."Â
Sanji chuckled as he turned to start making you something to help cool you down. "I'm still surprised you agreed. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy as well, just surprised."Â
"Yeah, well, I seemed to recall saying something about you being stuck with me forever."Â
His smile grew as he remembered that promise-- shortly after your parent's death as you decided to continue their work. He knew you had no interest in working the Baratie; you weren't one to stay in one place for long, nor were you fond of the large crowds.Â
He had been so worried it meant he would never see you again --that you would sail away one last time, never to return. He hadn't been able to keep himself from pulling you against him tight, mentally thanking every deity yet again when you decided to keep your parent's transport route.Â
"And I said you'd never be alone." Sanji poured the ice drink into a glass and handed it to you, smiling softly as you met his gaze. He meant it back then, as well as now. Even if it ended up killing him.Â
ă°ă
One of the cooks had left out a bottle of Brandy. And well, Sanji had been assigned to clean up for the night, and you had decided to âkeep him company.âÂ
Teenagers did stupid things, and neither of you were immune to that fact.Â
The kitchen was roughly cleaned, though Sanji could admit he spent more time talking with you, leaning against the same counter you sat on - especially once he mastered mixing up Brandy Alexanders. The more the late hours wore on, the more Sanji was entranced with you. Watching your eyes catch the light from the overhead lamps, or run your tongue along your lips to catch a bit of the creme from your drink.Â
Sanji would be willing to argue you had started things first; when you leaned forward so you could play with his hair, your fingers stroking his cheek softly... He wasn't sure what enticed you, but held still as if afraid moving would scare you away.Â
Yet when you finally met his gaze, cheeks flushed as you bit your lower lip, Sanji couldnât help himself. He leaned closer, one arm braced on either side of your hips before brushing his lips against yours. He could taste the chocolate still on your lips, making him sigh as he pulled away.
Your hand wrapped around his tie, stopping him. There was a challenging glint in your eye as you pulled him close for another kiss.Â
Sanji swore he had died and gone to heaven as he indulged himself. Kissing you properly like he had always dreamed about, tasting the remnants of drink on your lips along with your own natural taste - that was better than any meal he had tasted. His hands moved to your thighs, squeezing the soft flesh lightly as he pulled you closer, so tempted to see if he could convince you to part them so he could step closer still; to have those strong legs wrap around his waist, to press his hips against yoursâŚ
Except before he could push his luck, you pulled away, gasping for breath. âWait. Stop.â
He groaned, but rested his forehead against yours as he placed his hands back on the counter. âWhatâs wrong?â He asked, though silently swore to himself that if you hinted he was a bad kisser againâŚ
âItâs just⌠too much,â You whispered. âWe-weâve had too much to drink. This isnât us.âÂ
Sanji leaned back, his eyes meeting yours. He wanted to confess that this was exactly what he had always wanted - that this was what he wanted as much as finding the All Blue. But even in the haze of bliss and brandy, he could see the hesitancy - the fear - in your eyes, and it cut him straight to the core.Â
He gripped the edge of the counter tightly as he forced a smile. âAs my lady wishes.â He pressed a lingering kiss to your forehead before stepping back, offering a hand as you slid down from the counter. âDo you want me to walk you back to your ship?âÂ
You shook your head, face flushed. âNo. But⌠thank you.âÂ
Watching you walk away was like cutting his own heart out, but he stood strong as he shoved his hands in his pocket.Â

A Rival?
Selana Lavellan x Solas (pre-relationship); Background Rora Surana x Cullen Rutherford - 1283 words
Summary: Selana is starting to become interested in Solas, but is worried she has competition in the form of Solas' new assistant.
A/N: This fic features a little cameo from Rora, who is the warden in my main DA canon. I always had this AU idea of her showing up and helping the Inquisition if she doesn't get recruited by Duncan. I thought it would be fun to include her in this universe, and this is the result!
Read on Ao3
When Selana entered the cabin where Solas had set up his research station, he was hunched over one of the long tables with his new assistant, Rora, beside him. They appeared deep in discussion, his bald head and her brunette head nearly touching. Selanaâs stomach twisted.
Rora Surana had arrived just a few weeks ago, one of the many new souls making their way to Haven as news of the Inquisition spread. She was an elven apostate as wellâthough unlike Solas, she was originally from a Circleâand was quickly put to work assisting Solas with his research. From what Selana was told, Rora was a talented mage and researcher with a strong interest in the Fade. It was a perfect fit.
Selana cleared her throat, and they both looked up. Solas straightened, coming over to greet her.
âYou have returned,â he said.
Rora, hanging back at the table, nodded at her. âHello, Herald,â she said in a soft voice.
Selana nodded back. Rora seemed perfectly nice, very polite and diligent. She was sure Roraâs relationship with Solas was purely professional. And even if it wasnât, that didnât matter. Solas was a good friend, and that was all.
âSorry to interrupt,â Selana said, turning to Solas. âI wanted to show you something.â
Solasâ eyes gleamed with interest. Selana pulled out the small object, wrapped in a plain, white handkerchief lent to her by Varric.
âI found this near a rift,â she said. âVivienne thought it might have been touched by the Fade in some way.â
Solas took it and unwrapped it, revealing a piece of obsidian shot through with green light the same color as Selanaâs mark.
Solas held the rock up to the light, eyes narrowed.
âIâm not sure how significant it is,â she said, âbut I thought you might want to take a look at it.â
And it made me think of you, she thought.
Solas smiled. âThank you,â he said. âIt is quite fascinating. Rora?â
His assistant stood up, hurrying over with a clipboard.
âWill you add this to the sample table?â he said.
She nodded, and Selanaâs heart sank as she watched Rora take the rock and add it to a table laden with other, similar objects.
Things had been odd between Selana and Solas ever since that day several weeks ago. Theyâd been chatting at their usual spot, and Selana asked him about himself, particularly his interest in the Fade. He explained how he became a traveler in order to see more of it.
âTo find interesting areas, one must be interesting,â he said.
âWell, itâs not the worst reason Iâve heard to go out and enjoy life,â Selana said.
âI am glad to hear it,â he said. âIn truth, I have enjoyed experiencing more of life to find more of the Fade.â
âHow so?â
âYou train to flick a dagger or an arrow to its target. The grace with which you move is a pleasing side benefit.â
Selanaâs mind ground to a halt, not quite understanding what he was saying. Unsure what else to do, she laughed.
âSo, youâre suggesting Iâm graceful?â she said.
Her tone was joking, but his expression was completely serious when he responded.
âNo,â he said, meeting her eyes. âI am declaring it. It was not a subject for debate.â
A shiver passed through her at the memory, and not an unpleasant one.
Until that moment, it never occurred to Selana that Solas might be attracted to her, nor had she considered him a romantic prospect. She didnât join the Inquisition for that. All she wanted was to close the Breach and get home as soon as possible.
But now that the door was open, she couldnât help noticing Solas in a new way. When they talked now, she noticed things like the broadness of his shoulders, and the way his peaceful presence calmed her. It was confusing, distracting, and not altogether welcome when there was so much to worry about.
The next day, Selana returned to find Solas and Rora standing together outside the cabin, in the same spot where she and Solas often chatted. Solas said something to Rora that Selana couldnât hear, and they both laughed. Selana watched Solasâ face, the way his eyes crinkled with amusement when he laughed, and felt another twinge of jealousy. The two of them were so right together, Solas broad-shouldered and neatly dressed, the taller of the two, and Rora so small and dainty, with long, light brown hair that always seemed to shine. Selana couldnât help but think of her own appearance, her boney, muscular frame, and her dull brown, unmanageably curly hair that she needed to wrangle into a ponytail to control at all.
She hung back for a moment, and considered leaving. But then Rora gave Solas a wave and headed back inside the research cabin. Selana approached.
She couldnât tell if he was glad to see her. There was a happy glow to his face, but maybe that was just from talking to Rora.
âDid you get a chance to look at that sample?â she asked, by way of conversation.
âNot yet,â Solas said. âThere is much to do.â
Selanaâs heart sank, more than she would have liked.
âYou and Rora seem to be getting along,â she said. She thought her voice sounded bitter, even to herself, but he didnât seem to notice.
âOh yes,â he said. âShe has proven quite helpful. Her knowledge of the Fade is surprisingly in-depth.â
Selanaâs heart squeezed. She knew she was no match for Rora when it came to magical knowledge.
âThatâs⌠great,â she said. She cleared her throat. âMust be nice to have someone to talk to whoâs on your level.â
She must have done a poor job hiding her feelings, because Solasâ expression shifted to one of concern.
âRora is a fine assistant,â he said. âBut when the work is over, you are the one I most look forward to speaking with.â
Selana swallowed around the lump in her throat.
âWhy, though?â she said. âI donât know anything about the Fade, or about magic.â
âThat is not all that matters,â Solas said. âYou are still intelligent, and thoughtful. You give me new things to think about. And⌠you are my friend. Is that so hard to believe?â
It was unusual for him to stumble over his words, and it caught Selana off guard. But his words filled her with warmth. Even with his new assistant, Solas still took the time to speak with her, still listened to her questions with care and interest. It was silly for her to have worried. Solas was her friend, and that was all that mattered.
She smiled. âItâs not hard to believe,â she said.
Selana didnât worry about Rora after this. Not just because of her conversation with Solas, though.
A few days later, she walked by the training grounds to see Rora and the commander chatting together. Selana was too far away to hear what they said, but she could sense a charged atmosphere, even from a distance.
She watched them curiously for a moment. Both their faces were flushed. The commander looked away, scratching the back of his neck, and Rora clasped her hands nervously as they spoke. Their conversation was punctuated with shy smiles and nervous laughs. Selana remembered then that Cullen, too, had been in a Circle in Fereldan for a time. Was it the same one Rora had come from?
Selana shook her head and walked away before they noticed her staring. None of her business, but it seemed like Roraâs interests lay elsewhere. Selana couldnât help but smile to herself as she hurried off to visit Solas.

I know you've been asked this before, but still, now since toh has ended would you consider giving Arcane a chance? Not right away but maybe when feel like it. đ
I promise it's not a bad show, I watched it after starting toh to pass the time. It's only 1 season for now and it has just 9 episodes, but these episodes are so packed! The world building is easy to grasp, the characters do interact, there's development, it has a diverse female cast and fighting scenes. There's at least 3 conflicts that interconnect at the end.
The thing about it that amazes me is that it does so much in such a little short time, 9 episodes only. I often compare it toh and wonder about how much toh could've done if they knew how to plan beforehand, because toh had all the time in the world in comparison. (I'm mentioning this because I'm also bitter about the shortening thing being thrown around to excuse the bad writing).
So I will 100% admit that Arcane sounds entirely up my alley. It's in a universe that has had literally over a decade to flesh out its lore and ideas, characters they've been working with for at least half the games life cycle, it has rave reviews, lesbians, the animation is GORGEOUS, I've actually heard surprisingly little analyzing the plot and that could be fun for me. I... just don't know why I haven't watched it. And it's not like I'm so busy as to not watch shows. I watch WAY too much Youtube and streams. That stuff is mostly mindless and pure entertainment and I can't make blogs or stories about it. But that might also be exactly why I don't watch much scripted content. See, I watch a lot of stuff while I'm on walks to have some noise going, or music while I think about writing ideas, or while I'm playing a game or the like. It's distraction. It's to turn off the part of my brain that's too wound up and emotional and analytical. Also a lot of media has the unfortunate problem of me going "What can I be inspired by this for?" Which if I was going full blast would be great! At 8k words a day, having things to distract me or keep my motor running would be almost necessary. And that's technically a conservative statement as when I first joined TOH, I did 200k words in 2 weeks. That's 15k a day. The fact that it took me months to burn out during that time period is a miracle. But when I'm depressed? Those ideas honestly hurt more than anything else. I still haven't done Amphibia blogs because I just can't get myself to bring my thoughts together independently on the subject for some reason despite the fact that I DO have things to talk about, whether that be talking about what sells the characters as family to me, what makes Sasha's introduction one of the best charismatic villains I've ever seen, how Hop Pop is showcase of fantasy trauma done right, why people CAN skip the first season and how insane that is and even for a more negative one: Why Marcy is so far easily the most awkward element of the show so far that I've seen. Not even bad but just not nearly as natural as the rest. And yes, while I'm still only at the First Temple, you can still send me Amphibia asks. It honestly helps my literal personality disorder to be responding to asks instead of making them myself.
I don't know. I wish I did. My head is a chaotic mess and I honestly just need to learn to calm down a lot more but my literal two main disciplines as a creator require my brain to be on. at maximum volume all the time. And it only gets worse when I go "Well what about Amphibia, or that TMNT series, or Molly Mcgee- Oh but you really ought to be looking for something new. Preferably something you can write for within its first week of airing. Even better if before then. Got to get that ENGAGEMENT after all! GROW YOUR COMMUNITY!" *sigh* And I don't want this to make you all feel bad. PLEASE let me know what you're interested in seeing me maybe talk about. I commonly forget about Arcane because it just flies under my radar for the most part for some reason. Just understand I'm slow to move. I'm trying to get better but I don't know when or if I'll ever be good at it. Edit: Because I feel like it, I do want to shout out a few channels I like to watch. Youtube: Noah Caldwell Gervais is one of the best video game essayists out there. When I talk about just putting on something to zen out to for a few hours... Well, I've watched his 8 hour Resident Evil Retrospective twice. He also has a great, dry sense of humor and great analytical skills. Todd in the Shadows is where I go for pop song reviews. Honestly, I'm pulled in more by his One Hit Wonderland Series and his Trainwreckords but it's also nice getting incite on modern pop music. If you're into animation, you NEED New Frame Plus in your life. Daniel Floyd is absolutely amazing at his job, he's ex-Pixar so that's not surprising, and pretty much all I know about animation comes from that channel. Absolutely phenomenal work. Twitch: CauseImDanJones is my favorite streamer period. Not only is his chill vibes immaculate, he has this insane talent to say the most bat shit crazy things and act like they're entirely normal. He never is an over the top streamer but he still manages some of that "WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?" energy those people have. JHobz296 is someone you likely know if you watch GDQ. For those who don't know him though: He's my go to for speedrun content. He does a lot of Kingdom Hearts speedruns, does a lot of Kingdom Hearts 2 Rando WAY better than I do and when he does variety, he keeps it laid back and casual. (I like chill streamers). Gilbot9000 is my last callout. He does a lot of fighting game streams and likes to throw it back old school, or play games with an old school vibe to them. He's a nice dude and a good friend of mine so I'd be remiss to not mention him.

Part 1
Pairing: Prince Aemond Targaryen x fem! ReaderÂ
Summary: Aemond returns to Kingâs Landing for Aegonâs name day celebration during the midst of war. Immediately he regrets his decision to join the festivities, threatening an existential crisis, but then a mysterious beauty catches his attention - intriguing his jaded heart. Itâs an unlikely place and the most inconvenient of times, but somehow he's renewed by the prospect that he could finally have a love heâs never known.Â
Word Count: 4.6kÂ
Authorâs Note: Third person perspective, reader/she (Y/N) is from an unspecified house with limited knowledge of the Targaryens. Some deviation of timelines and of HOTD canon/ details. Multi-part wip / slow burn, angst, eventual NSFW (lots!), language, soft feels.
I just want to write about Aemond falling in love, so the story is hyper-focused on the two mains-only without a lot of scene setting and background regarding the dance. Hope you stick around and enjoy! Comments/asks welcomed. LMK if you want to be tagged.
Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
donât stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos. though i know itâs blinding, thereâs a way out. say out loud, we will not give up on love now.
Sometimes Aemond wonders why he still shows up for shit like this, especially when the attendance is so insufferable. Not that he doesnât occasionally enjoy hearing his name mentioned in mixed tones of reverence and fear when he returns home.
Admittedly, he does find the soft whispers amongst the crowd of highborn families that his mother insists on periodically inviting to court dryly amusing, but only just. Â
The attention can also prove a nice stroke to his ego every once in awhile, but it isnât important to him the way it might have been before the war started. The pointed compliments and overt side-glances his way seem particularly insincere, holding no significance, as every person in the room fails to override his growing boredom.
Heavens save me.
Aemond begins to seethe at the fuckery of it all, and the night continues to progress with no clear end in sight. Time passes and with every moment that it does, his interest in remaining present depletes.
Itâs unsurprising in consideration of how the conversations stay surface-level, lacking quality as the topics float weightless and repeating, forever removed from reality. Even with so many moon turns passed, everything still seems to remain relatively ordinary. No- dull as shit, he internally counters. Its personally stifling within the confines of the Red Keep.
He hates it here. The lack of evolution disappoints Aemond, even despite his expectation already residing at an all-time low. But what could be expected? Certainly nothing more from the self-indulgent snobs so far up their own asses as they regale in false self-importance, and definitely not when they maintain this guise for their foolish kingâs name day celebration. What a farce.
His train of thought compels him to consider the raised dais where his idiot brother currently sits, already several cups deep into his spirits. Aemond canât help but roll his eye, a habit heâs no longer keen to conceal. Heâs grown tired of putting on fronts, especially for his family, wearing his emotions more easily on his sleeve so to speak.
Disdain and bitterness reignite at the sight of Aegon, selfish prick that he is, weaving back into Aemondâs marrow as he reflects on the many sacrifices he continues to make in the name of honor, loyalty and duty. And for fucking what?
i don't feel guilt at being unsociable, though i may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painfulâŚ
The wine is weak, the food is tasteless and the music - abhorrent. He swears heâs going to gut the damn jester that keeps circling the main floor if he sees him again, envisioning the crimson pool that would undoubtedly ruin his newly polished boots in his mindâs eye, were he to act on the impulse.
It wouldnât be worth it and Mother would be none too pleasedâŚ
Convincing himself of this, itâs actually not lost on him that heâs spent his entire life actually living within and throughout this ever-growing debacle. So many nights just like this, and the irony of such staggering a truth becomes too fucking rich. He blames his father most of all for this, but there are other factors too, ideas less congruent, but convincing all the same- heâs been cursed since birth.
His aversion to remain in this hall, in the entirety of this damnable Keep, only builds. The mood of Aemond is a transformative black and heâs past annoyance when more people fill the space, to the point it feels like everything probably should implode on itself. And he canât say he wouldnât welcome this, even if it meant his own demise, because at this point who fucking cares?
but when i move into the world, it feels like a moral fall- like seeking love in a whorehouse.
Alas, it does not. But the cynicism within him just keeps expanding. He can only blame himself. Just lay in it then, and try to be civilized.
Truth be told, the appeal for him to do anything these days that didnât include partaking in the plotting for destruction and so many endless deaths during war meetings, or patrolling for visible threats from the sky on Vhagar had been strong. Heâs convinced it must have been in a moment of weakness, during one of his deep bouts of loneliness, that the invitation bearing raven had conveniently arrived to him.
Aemond canât justify any other reason than this, for heâd made haste to Kingâs Landing without any true forethought upon receipt of his motherâs handwritten request. Why had he been so easily swayed? Was it because life of late felt reduced to boring days, an unknown future, an irregular sleep, repeat? Yes, likely. But these were weaknesses better kept under wraps.
He smirks at such an unmerciful fate, but mostly to himself when he turns again to the main table, witnessing in real time as his only living parent bestows Aegon with a small surreptitious slap at something mouthy heâs just said towards her. In all these years, nothing ever changes.
Their grandsire holds Aegon in a death glare full of contempt by her side, utterly disapproving as well, which is something Aemond finds satiric. After all, wasnât this what The Hand had always wanted for The Greens? Irreverent power and glory, Aegon upon the throneâŚsuch folly.
i can hardly breathe, and now you're right above me and your shadow suffocates.
The Keep had momentarily seemed a welcoming concept, but the present is too sobering a contradiction, impossible to ignore now. Sadly, the notion that heâd feel differently for this homecoming was once more proving false.
He canât deflect responsibility, knowing his decision in actuality has been swayed by the growing weariness of violence - how tired he is of constantly being on the defense; forever at odds with his heart, his soul. It all feels heavy, a burdensome weight that will not hold much longer. What is my purpose? Although he will never admit this to anyone, heâs begun to lose sight of what heâs even fighting for anymore.
He needs something else to focus on for a while. A spark of interest would be nice, anything might do, as long as it could keep him from lashing out in anger - mostly at himself. Or worse, he could go spiraling downwards, back into the deep abyss of his emotions for a long-term residence. Just wither away into nothingness, and he has half a mind to let it happen. Fuck it all.
The actuality of all this flits across his mind, leaving the room suddenly muted to his ears. He shuts out the conversation heâs been involved in for an undisputed amount of time. Interestingly, the group surrounding him is littered with several lords and ladies that used to scoff and shirk at him a mere handful of solar cycles previously.
Hypocrites, cowards, utter cunts - the lot of them.
It doesnât really matter to him though, these fools from a bitter and harrowing past, nor their opinions. Instead he inwardly returns to a more pressing matter up for his contemplation - the emptiness heâs been feeling for awhile, how internalized and damaging it still is.
He thinks of the way it all stacks up against him, how itâs reduced him to a man underwhelmed, unfulfilled⌠and the greatest issue of all, unloved. This is something Aemond is forever conscious of, and itâs like heâs suddenly experiencing the same oppressive state heâd lived in for so much of his youth, a time in which he was not in control whatsoever.
Once upon a time, he had been soft - a dreamer with a lot of heart to give. Unfortunately, by no fault of his own, his sensitive nature had proven detrimental, swiftly making him the target of many immature, albeit cruel intentions. Even despite being a Targaryen son, heâd constantly found himself the brunt of jests amongst his eldest brother and younger kin alike.
It had been a callous awakening, one that both fed his deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and expanded his burgeoning anger, turning him more spiteful with age.
What the fuck?
He wonders why these memories are suddenly seeking their re-emergence, particularly when it feels like heâs already spent a lifetime making painstaking efforts to finally move beyond such devastating haunts.
But it never really leaves him.
In defiance of persistence, self preservation and all heâs mastered, everything heâs proven of himself through accomplishment and challenge, some things still refuse to detach themselves from him. They are core memories that shall remain forever tied to the very matter of which heâs made, and because of this, heâs tried to make peace with their aggravation.
Even still, itâs a nuisance for him when he considers his own personal defects, how ingrained they seem, like a sustained poison in his blood. Inescapable fallacies that others have convinced him of, no matter his renowned skills as a swordsman, his impressive mount on the biggest dragon in the world, all his knowledge - the rarity of an education that is vast, uncommon⌠the notoriety of his crimes.
Am I not more than this?
Heâs flawed - yes, as painfully aware of this truth as he is of his demons, so many well-acquainted old foes that have been around his entire life, lurking endlessly. Theyâre more repressed than before, but Aemond doesnât think theyâll ever truly leave him, and heâs inclined to accept this damnation too.
But try as he might to tamper it, he feels primarily defined by his navigation and survival through neglect and bullying, at being physically maimed and sexually taken advantage of at a young age, none the wiser at the time. Itâs all very tragic, even still, and yet heâs tired of being married to the victimization of it all.
He often wonders whatâs so terribly wrong with him that every day, it feels like Westeros is trying to strangle him. As if sheâs been trying to do this for his entire life - kill him slowly. And this plausibility doesnât seem out of the realm of possibility as he sardonically considers his existence, how shit itâs been, that the bitch might actually be succeeding in the endeavor.
It's an ever-present thorn in his side, and it feels deeper tonight, the stab somehow greater. He feels like disappearing or giving up, and the decision to give in only persists in the absence of an anchor - one heâs been in dire need of for some time.
If only there was a new strength from which he could draw, something powerful that he might feel inclined to cling to. His mind reels at what could possibly keep him grounded, give his life meaning, keep him sane enough to remain in this living hell.
But hope is a foreign concept, a dangerous entertainment that Aemond doesnât make a practice of, and happiness is even more evasive. For him, thereâs no miracle waiting in the wings for the perfect moment to unveil itself and show him kindness. Thereâs no fortress from which to seek refuge within, no bastion or brave defender to come to his aid, no salve to erase all the hurt in his torn heart. Itâs a lost cause.
He knows that coming here tonight has been a grave mistake.
no dawn, no day, iâm always in this twilight.
He wants to move, but the will to do so momentarily abandons him, leaving him to remain trapped within himself. His singular vision loses focus as his stare shifts to the intricate flooring before him, a distracting pattern of which he really isnât seeing. Itâs not promising, but heâs somehow hoping the ground might miraculously deign mercy upon him by opening up and just swallowing him fucking whole.
He holds his breath, willing this occurrence, but of course it's all for naught. Then, as if from the end of a dark tunnel, he hears the familiarity of his name, spoken and echoing, drawing him back to the present. He begins to anticipate the confused stares from the group heâs been standing with, though no genuine conversing has taken place thus far.
When his mobility reinstates of its own accord, he shifts his weight to buy some time before looking up to consider the lord whoâs asked him... something. He knows not what, nor does he care, but upon Aemondâs vision refocusing, heâs not seeing them or anyone - only her.
in this light, i swear youâre mine.
It's a mysterious occurrence, the way time works - how the stars seem to have finally conspired to align with opportunity and chance. And for the first time tonight, perhaps ever, he finds himself captivated.
The crowd has split, forming a clear path from where heâs standing to the opposite end of the room. He swears his traveling gaze has been moved by some greater force, something he cannot name, beckoning him. It must be true, heâs convinced as the connection heâs feeling with the nameless woman increases.
The air becomes charged with renewed energy, a unique heat that seems untainted by pretense. And itâs heat that flourishes within him now - inexplicable, drugging when he realizes all at once that sheâs staring back at him. Only him.
Thereâs a curiosity to their exchange, the way it goes on in silence, in secret. Itâs everything but fleeting, what theyâre sharing from afar. And although it's from a great distance, he knows this could be something of substance, worth pursuing. Something unnamed within him spurs this idea, urging him into action to seize this unexpected opportunity, but then she looks away and heâs completely startled.
Suddenly, Aemond cannot breathe. She is fucking beautiful. From his remote observation, this is clear, but heâs also sensing something else about her. Aside from the obvious, that sheâs literally the most stunning person in the room, that he has probably ever seen, her energy is not supporting this fact.
It perplexes him.
Amid the many exquisite objects within this opulent hall, she outshines them all, easily taking center stage. But whatâs drawing Aemond the most, putting him on the highest of alerts, is the unease he senses emulating from her. She looks about ready to dart from the stale festivities, as if sheâs simply gathering her nerve while mapping out her next move in order to see this realized.
Take me with you.
Actually, she looks exactly the way he feels, and intuitively he knows that she is someone he needs to have in his life. Heâs still staring when she unexpectedly looks at him again, and with this second glance - a feeling of pure elation begins to take root within him. The air rushes to enter his lungs once more.
Suddenly he feels alive again, awakened from the dead at long last.
i looked at him with unexplainable recognition, i stared at him with a burning throat and teary eyes.
Itâs time to panic.
Truth be told, she hadnât meant to stare for as long as she had, and then again. It's definitely not something sheâs prone to do - fixate on strangers, especially considering how uncomfortable itâs always made her when on the receiving end of such attentions.
But in her defense, dear cousin had recently disappeared, leaving her to her own devices without any formal introductions. Thus, voiding any and all potential attempts at social interactions on her own, should she have chosen to pursue them.
She had not, and it wasnât a great loss for her either, as the night so far had proven rather stale - falling flat despite its nauseating frivolity. And yet, as a first-time visitor to the capital with limited knowledge of court customs, being put out like this felt like a blow, like abandonment.
It did not bode well with her to feel less than, misplaced, unwelcome. And these were all issues sheâd been struggling with since arriving, trying desperately to maintain a sense of calm confidence that she did not actually feel an iota of.
In honesty, she could have anticipated this if only sheâd removed the figurative rose colored lenses from which sheâd been trying to experience tonight through.
It wasnât fated to be ideal though, as she had immediately sensed something malignant from the moment sheâd walked through the entry door earlier. Bittersweet, but unsurprisingly, it left her longing for the solitude of home with its rolling lands, the beauty evergreen.
She maintains vexation over recent decisions, once more finding herself in a situation thatâs left her ill at ease - hellbent on forfeiting any and all of the nightâs eventualities. If I could just get out of here. Yet, something holds her back.
Perhaps itâs the perceived lack of decorum in disappearing that stays her. Hardly - but the watchful eyes throughout the room do give her pause. Aware of the scornful judgement being passed about, in constant motion from one fiend to the next, she canât say sheâs trying to draw more attention.
Sheâs not senseless either, having been told numerous times of the weight this invite held - one of generosity and privilege and opportunity. In theory, it had seemed plausible, so she hadnât dismissed the importance of impression that kept being pressed upon her every day leading up to now.
And now, thereâs contradiction at every turn - the night proving to be little more than a pitiful show of extravagance. A colossal inconvenience to celebrate and placate an unworthy man-child.
As if I really give a shit about this Aegon twat.
He apparently IS the king, but she really fails to comprehend this as fact. From her personal observation, he appears more juvenile than ruler, all tired eyes and messy hair. Heâs wearing a permanent scowl of disinterest too, as he begins making his rounds amongst his guests. Itâs plain to see heâs intoxicated, struggling at times to stay upright on his two feet.
Even the heavy crown atop his head fails to stay centered, impossible to maintain its position with the continuous sway of its wearer. Such a mess.
Though she finds herself wondering why she left home for this, she canât deny the inherent need within her to be pushed - really move out of established comforts for the sake of growth. Admittedly, life had become dull enough for her to consider travel, even despite perceived dark times in the more well-known parts of the world.
The risk had been taken, and tonight was accomplishing her misguided notion to experience something new, something sheâd never had before. It was definitely not a place of comfort either, but neither was it engaging as she had hoped it might be.
Perhaps a little intrigue would do some good in this social wasteland, but there is nothing, nobody.
While she wasnât a stranger to taking inherent leaps of faith, having a rather optimistic outlook most days, nothing was presently inspiring the spark within her. Likewise, nothing was pulling her to put some faith into this night, relinquish any benefits of doubt. There was nothing compelling, nobody convincing her that this particular setting was anything other than cold and callous.
More than that though, it felt undeniably toxic, laced with the unmistaken undercurrent of condescension. And for the first time in her life she yearns to be invisible.
These are not my people and I donât belong here.
The realization of this hits hard, at a very inopportune moment, and it's causing her cool facade to deplete significantly. It feels like sheâs breaking down, on the brink of a total collapse. She could crumble and it would be so easy, but still, she hangs on.
She sips her wine and itâs disgusting, aware that any further indulgence in it wonât be worth tomorrowâs ache in the head. However, the heavy cup remains a functional prop to keep her semi-occupied with intended movement. She thinks at the very least, it's helping her blend in more with the rest of this cunty crowd, appearing like less of an outsider, less...delicate.
The thought of taking another walk around the hall seems a viable option - an attempt to kill more of this rotten evening. She finds more appeal in the notion, rather than standing still and pretending sheâs agreeable with her surroundings.
Everything continues to fall away, and itâs getting harder to crawl out of her melancholic mood. Though, on a very specific level of self-awareness, she knows sheâs being too critical of the situation and too hard on herself. Itâs a deep flaw for her, to be constantly plagued by oneâs own high expectations, equipped with the unfortunate knack of also being dramatic.
Itâs a curse in many ways - limiting, exhausting, upsetting. She hates that she feels so much, so deeply. She hates the way she always ends up let down in the end. She hates the way she wants more from life, yet always comes up short.
What did you actually expect⌠to fall in love with a prince?
The thought is enough to get her angsty, exasperated that she could still have the capacity to be this naive, to think that such wonders might exist. Fairytales, her personal kingdom of dreams recognized, come to life. She could romanticize the idea for the rest of her days, but theyâre simply that, dreams. And only dreams they will remain. Intangible.
When she considers this, and sheâs done so often throughout her life, it always leaves her reeling with the harshest of realities in the end. She wonders why she puts herself through it, time and again - dreaming up a life and a love that will never belong to her.
The outcome will never change, youâre destined to be alone.
Sheâs too much in her head at this point and it weights her, but sheâs done pretending, over the tolerance. She realizes she has to get out of here, that it doesnât even matter where to. Just away. And suddenly thereâs no more argument left within her of what she should do by staying. Thereâs no room left for lingering guilt either.
Itâs simply time to go.
Scanning the space, she finds her exit route in record time. But beyond these four walls, she has no idea where sheâs going. It doesnât matter, I donât care.
Although it momentarily deters her from taking action, she decides to chance one more look across the room in an attempt to locate her kin. At the very least, it would be wise to give notice of her leave for the evening, but the effort is fruitless and sheâs quick to abandon the search.
That's when her eyes land on him.
are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?
Who is he?
She has no idea, though she could draw some conclusions and seven hells, he is stunning! Thereâs an enigma about him, a danger and acuteness to his character that exudes a well-steeped confidence. She can tell all this just by the way he holds himself, at least thatâs the impression sheâs receiving by his body language, the semi-defensive stance.
He intrigues her, radiant yet darkly masculine as well, and he physically stands out with his impressive height and athletic build - everything sheâs attracted to. He looks important, but displaced. Itâs also clear heâs disinterested with those around him, perhaps jaded by the same shortcomings in his life as she is with hers. She wonders, thinking it could be true.
The energy from him draws her the same way his appearance does, all black leather and belts, a dagger, a donned eye-patch, gorgeous long hair that is pale, glorious. Even in the dim light, it shines as if illuminated - a most mysterious beacon, working to draw out her withering heart with a renewed vibrant curiosity.
Fuck, that is lovely. She thought she was leaving, but now her feet feel heavy and she canât look away.
A Targaryen, obviously. But who the fuck is he, which dragonlord is this? She MUST know.
Heâs striking, it's undeniable, even despite looking forlorn in this current setting. Or maybe itâs just a blasĂŠ air that he keeps. It could be a front. Again, she wonders. Either way, she picks this up right away, deliberating how it isnât obvious to the imbeciles heâs standing amongst, of how very little he cares.
Its a strange concept, like tragic art, as she spectates the scene. It's like heâs invisible, such as she, or he wants to be, such as she. Heâs completely withdrawn from the conversation⌠and he is beautiful.
Unbeknownst to him, heâs also outwardly manifesting everything sheâs been internalizing - its just something she feels, senses. The silent energy emanating from him becomes a fucking madness, moving unseen across the space, weaving through faceless bodies. And suddenly itâs crashing into her with subtle violence, summoning her in a manner thatâs arcane, unintentional.
It transmits nonetheless, in a demand to feel something, anything.
She thinks she might, knowing he would be the reason, and she casts a silent wish then: look at me, escape with me. She expects nothing. And yet, it seems he has somehow received her unspoken plea with perfect aim, because almost immediately he looks up, finding her without pause, effortlessly.
It takes her breath, taken aback by the depth of his stare, even from afar. But itâs not merely the meeting of their eyes that's causing her panic to grow now.
It's the way the most beautiful man sheâs ever seen maintains his stare, subtly tilting his head in acknowledgement of her existence. Itâs the way heâs just excused himself from the small group heâs been standing with as she watches him finally break loose from them.
Itâs the way he's walking directly towards her now with unmistaken interest.
the sadness you carry, it hangs like a ghost.
Aemondâs need to go to her is instantaneous, his mind quickly made up, surrendering to her unspoken beckoning. What heâs feeling canât be described, but it puts him in motion with assured steps towards her, intent to maintain their connection.
The last thing he wants now is a deterrent, some dumb bastard interrupting his advancement with meaningless words and insincere praise. He canât be fucked, especially since the exuberance of others often exhausts and bores him.
Besides, heâs not that infamous and he thinks his appearance should emit a genuine aloofness, at least enough to mark him as unapproachable.
In this moment, he hopes for it to be true.
As he continues, his boots on the stone floor leave an echoing sound - the faintest of cadences to his ears. Even the soft music thatâs been playing, sounds heâd previously drowned out, return to fill his senses. Heâs aware of how the room comes alive once more and how his attention hones into the finer details - the beautiful things that matter enough to hold some of his appreciation. But nothing is shining as bright, as gorgeous as her.
iâll just tear it down, and iâll wear it like a ribbon - give it.
His perspective is altered, biased. Heâs ever grateful for the reprieve in detaching from the aimless buzz of verbal interaction. He carries on as the swooning strings from instruments and all the paintings and flickering candles in the room act as a backdrop for the dream heâs finally found himself in.
Thereâs a grandeur to the moment, and it doesnât even seem like heâs in the same place as before. It's a subtle shift with great impact and to Aemond, itâs like a slow awakening of his spirit. His heart feels lighter, his chest less constricted somehow. Breathing comes more easily as he realizes heâs no longer holding everything in.
For him, tonight finally makes sense - he sees with so much clarity and with it, an aspiration to unearth something extraordinary. I am here because she is here. And sheâs his focus, it canât be misinterpreted.
This is intense, he knows it is, because he can be intense - in looks, in demeanor, in speech. For example, the effect of his set jaw and determined eye are apparent just based on the way she looks away again, like she needs a moment for herself. Like maybe sheâs alarmed by him and his imminent approachâŚ
Regardless, he can tell sheâs ready to go simply by her nervous shifting of weight from one foot to the next and the way her hand grips her wine cup. Itâs so obvious, but he silently demands for her to stay put, at least until he can reach her, join her.
Donât you dare move!
As he draws closer, he realizes he hasnât actually formulated an introduction, though. Heâs been fixated on priority one - getting to her, but now that heâs almost within her sphere, it's possible heâs going to come on too strong.
It really isnât in his nature to be aggressive, at least not towards women. But there's a fine line between that and being resolute, and he can only hope she wonât confuse the two. It gets him stressed either way, just the anticipation. And its abrupt, how the air circulating now feels to have stopped altogether.
The urge for something clean in his lungs grows more intense. In fact, it's been too many lapsed hours since he last stepped outside, so he thinks maybe this is the angle he will use with her. Â
He sees her look down at the drink in her hand, then back at him with a ghost of a smile, and then away again. All these nervous habits miraculously enchanting him, though heâs aware itâs all stemmed from a discomfort and he could sympathize. He does - this brave girl.
Aemond needs to get to her, knowing this setting has become too intolerable for them both. It leads him to mull through all the potential areas he could take her to - more private areas within the Keep. Heâs trying hard not to envision her on his bed though, laid out before him, but itâs a challenge not to go thereâŚ
His thoughts come up short, interrupted and replaced by disbelief in an instant. And he can see the shock on her face too, witnessing the scene in horror the moment Aegon, of all people, drunkenly clashes into her with unabashed force.
It happens quickly, the unexpected contact of his body propelling the cup sheâs been holding towards herself, effectively spilling its dark contents onto her bodice and sleeve. His fiend of a brother remains unsteady, loud and obnoxious as he begins to inappropriately grope her figure with slurred and insincere apologies.
But it gets worse when he sobers just enough to focus his vision, and fully consider the beauty of the woman heâs currently offending - the one that he still holds fast within his clutches. He voices his immediate thoughts, loud enough to be heard by many.
âHeavens, what a pretty present you are! I think I shall wait to unwrap you in my chambers.â
Aemond sees fire, he walks faster.
i can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart; i am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger.
The familiar sting of tears begin to surface in a rush, threatening to fall although she wills them not to. It would be so easy to cry now, and itâs something she tends to do when sheâs at her limit. The frustration becomes unbearable, but she simply cannot allow this weakness to display.
Aside from the fact that everyone appears to be looking at her, the music has also stopped and the only sound filling her ears now is the seething laughter from the king. His prodding fingers are still at her waist, her lower back and his breath is hot on her ear, repulsing her just as much as his verbal filth has.
This little blond bitch, I could kill him.
She wants to scream, fueled by so much repressed anger, thinking she might act out soon if she doesnât escape the predicament. Above all things, slapping the fool touching her is of the highest priority, but she also wants to cut out the eyes of every person currently gawking at her as if she were the problem.
She wants to combust into flames, she wants to cease to exist altogether.
Even her free hand has formed into a fist so tight that her knuckles ache, and although it's of little consequence to her, she can vaguely feel the shallow cuts her nails have begun to make into the delicate skin of her palm. Time halts and sheâs burning from within, her vision clouding with rage as her arm begins to raise as if by its own accord.
She intends to lay one into Aegonâs jaw. At the very least, he deserves a slap, although the consequences will be dire. Even with this knowledge, she canât seem to tamper the physical urge to do some harm to him. Itâs the least he deserves.
How dare this fucker be so blatantly disrespectful.
Her mind is made up, heâs getting slapped and sheâs determined to see this through. But suddenly her movement is blocked, stilled by a gentle pressure of long fingers wrapping securely around her forearm. A deep breath is drawn and sheâs still trembling in her animosity, her embarrassment, when she turns to consider the disrupter.
To her relief and amazement, sheâs met with a welcomed face, a beautiful one. Itâs him, the only one she wants to see, to know.
The good Targaryen - finally, he is here.
And he is so close to her when he leans in, offering a verbal warning with a solemn tone for only her to hear.
âDonât.â Â
His touch is reassuring, sending bursts of warmth throughout her at the tenderness being exhibited. His expression however, betrays a significant degree of anger and it hardens his features further, in an impossible way. Oh gods!
Sheâs seeing a lot of sharp lines and hard angles, an immaculate bone structure and the most impressive scar that runs a great length down one side of his face. It hadnât been noticeable from a distance, not really, but now it draws her. Truthfully, itâs devastating how devilishly handsome he is and how weak sheâs begun to feel just being near him.
He almost doesnât seem real, but the obvious irritation emulating from him is substantial. Even still, there's a compassion in his touch and itâs his touch alone that she feels upon her body now. It compels her to be soft again and then she is, loosening and moved by his thoughtfulness to come to her aid, offer her stability in both body and mind.
His actions ground her, and heâs respectful as he takes the emptied cup from her with his free hand, discreetly handing it to a passing servant without a word.
Sheâs aware of how she turns into him then, drawn to his body heat, the most natural attraction. And with Aegon now gone, a relief in itself, she feels safe - protected. The urge to throw her arms around him in gratitude is strong, but she abstains.
He continues looking at her, his face otherworldly, and heâs saying something that she cannot comprehend as her world goes quiet. She canât capture a thought or formulate a word, feeling her mind draw a blank, abandon her while he looks on.
Her mouth turns dry and her clothes become too warm as she gets lost in the intensity of his eye, the riveting color of it. From afar she couldnât decipher, but up close she can clearly see that itâs a glorious azure blue, rimmed by a darker hue - indicating something of further mystery, an enigma. It isnât typical, and therefore stunning, moving her in an inexplicable way.
A soft moan escapes her lips, ever so telling of the effect heâs having, as his brow lifts with some amusement. Heâs clearly heard the sound, providing some inclination to him of her desire and he canât help but pull a small half-smirk, satisfied by this revelation. But heâs still waiting for a response, impatient once more, and he demonstrates this by reinstating his firm grip on her arm to give a slight squeeze.
She wonders if heâs always like this, communicative with gestures and touches of varying pressures. It takes her mind somewhere it shouldnât - to a place that involves just them, their bodies and very little clothing.
Does she want to know? She isnât certain, but he seems physically overbearing suddenly, as if heâd moved further into her unnoticed. And he might have accomplished this while she lost herself to a budding desire, envisioning what he might look like fully unclothedâŚwhat he might feel like against her, from within her.
Fuck!
His close proximity isnât helping reel in her thoughts, as the sensual scent encapsulating him climbs to meet her senses. It's fresh, something divine, and she finds herself wanting to chase and consume. It brings a new type of fire to their shared space as she imagines her lips pressed to the exposed skin on his neck, breathing him in.
The visual finally releases her from her mind trap, and she refocuses to stare at his face, placing her hand blindly on his own without thought. She shakes her head apologetically, helplessly, needing him to repeat the question - itâs really all she can do.
He obliges her, knowing she can hear him, that sheâs listening now.
âCome away with me.â
come home to my heart.
It really isnât a question and she finds herself silently nodding in acquiesce to his demand, feeling the adrenaline begin to flourish. The only audible response from him is a deep âhmmâ as they take their leave. It intrigues her, but not nearly as much as the way he walks in equal measures of grace and arrogance or how his silken hair begins to move illustrious over his back with each step taken.
To her, he is an exquisite creation, surely made from the gods and he walks as one amongst ineffectual men as he leads them through the mass of people. Itâs a quickened pace that she matches, noticing the way he calls off a small group of approaching knights, the Kingsguard, with a flick of his wrist to still their advances.
Although theyâre amid many watchful eyes, the music has begun again, reinstating many dancers back to the middle of the floor following the scene with the king. It offers some relief, but what sheâs finding to be the greatest comfort is the contact he maintains on her elbow, at the small of her back while he guides her out of the hall.
The heat infiltrates from his hands, runs along her spine and she doesnât mind the mild possession of his touch. It thrills, and her spirits continue lifting as something akin to hope seeks to re-enter her heart.
i promise you, i was here. i felt things that made death so large it was indistinguishable from air, and i went on destroying inside it like wind in a storm.
Itâs a well kept secret that Aemond considers himself a lover, not a fighter (at least in theory), though he doubts anyone would believe this if he were ever to admit it aloud. In fact, he feels that heâs improved in reining in his more violent impulses when they arise, attempting to adopt a more critical stance on whether to act on said impulses or not.
He reflects on this now as he navigates through the Red Keep with familiarity, thinking perhaps this banal approach is prominently wrought from Lucerysâ death. He knows it is⌠but this is different.
Despite the beautiful woman with him, casting a curious glance his way, heâs silently fuming with a sudden need for vengeance. And the center just wonât hold, he canât call this off now that heâs in action - moving, intentional.
As such, his steps are calculated, the direction mapped as they ascend a set of stairs together in record time. She follows willingly, half-dragged by his hand at a certain point, though she doesnât complain. Heâs grateful for it, and without a word, they turn down a dark corridor that takes them further through the never-ending maze of apartments and bedchambers.
His heart is pounding, the most violent of slams from within his rib cage, as his long legs carry him closer to his oldest nemesis.
you go on by finding a channel for your loveâŚ
Aegonâs behavior is always unacceptable, but tonight itâs inexcusable as well.
Tonight, it feels more personal.
In fairness, Aemondâs tolerance had already waned substantially throughout the course of the day. Though not uncommon, his brother had been acting an absolute wretch from the moment heâd risen and begun interacting - effectively wearing most everyone thin.
Still, recent events simply wonât release from his brain. His brotherâs actions, specifically the ever-occurring heinous mistreatment of women, continues to spread like a plague. Itâs bothersome, but whats worse is the fact that such behavior remains unchecked, tolerated, as everyone turns a blind eye time and again.
Aegon, the perpetrator that knows nothing of consequence, who could care less who he offends and hurts. Aegon, who never learns.
The loathing for his sibling is prominent more now than ever, the rage significant in power as it burns at the very core of Aemond. It threatens to spread like wildfire as he recalls the image of Aegon colliding into her, touching her, taunting her - the one whose hand heâs now holding. This exquisite darling thatâs with me.
It leaves him seeing red once more, and heâs resolute to make right this gross wrongdoing, finding the catharsis absolute when at last, he does.
âŚand another for your rage.
Thereâs justification in the way Aemond storms Aegonâs bedchambers, startling the roomâs occupants as he dismisses a handful of ladies already in various stages of undress.
Thereâs satisfaction when he knocks the wine from his brotherâs hand, spilling it across the regal bedding before advancing to lay waste to every last spirit within sight, all crashing bottles and broken glass.
There's an absolution when his fist meets Aegonâs mocking face, disrupting his cavalier smile with brute force. The delivered blow drops his brother to the littered floor as so many shards seek to break the skin of his hands, his knees.
Itâs an absolute agony for the king, but he continues in a deranged manner with uncontrolled manic laughter filling the luxurious space. In High Valyrian, Aemond speaks departing words of revulsion and fury and threats.
Then heâs back outside the room, the splintered door now unable to properly close as guards rush to Aegonâs aid with trepidation and no small degree of bewilderment at whatâs just transpired between the siblings.
He grabs his awaiting companionâs hand then, his own showing the faint beginnings of a bruise as it takes form, darkening just beneath the surface. Itâs inconsequential for Aemond, for heâs more surprised that sheâs remained to wait for him despite whats just been witnessed firsthand.
He sincerely wonders how he hasnât managed to scare her away with such a wrathful display. Yet, heâs finding a great relief in knowing he hasnât managed to achieve this after all. In fact, heâs in a bit of awe that sheâs remained. It means more to him than he could have imagined, and certainly more than she will ever knowâŚ
At present, his knuckles sting, but he doesnât care. His heart is thunderous, but he doesnât care.
An incredible amount of relief is washing over him at whatâs just transpired through words and actions, honest emotion pent up for so long, finally released. Itâs palpable, this foreign elation being felt as they retreat, backtracking so many of their steps. Even servants rush to either side of the halls so as not to remain in their wake, potentially interrupting their progress.
And heâs so certain of his menacing appearance now, just by their reactions, though he half-wishes his brother had put up a fight and tried to roughen him up. But it matters naught. At this point, his immediate intention is strictly to get himself and her to a place of privacy - as far as possible from Aegonâs blasted existence too.
Aemond huffs in spite of himself on reflection, feeling a bit bitchy over the circumstances, for this wasnât the first impression he had wanted to make.
Too late now.

My fathers daughter
prologue
Tony Stark x daughter! reader
Summary: By all definitions you were a daddyâs girl. Itâs been you and him since your mom left you both. But what happens when your both forced to face your past?
a/n: yâall know i canât resist a good crossover
If there had to be a face for daddys girl, youâd be the poster child.Â
Ever since you came into Tonyâs life, you and him have been attached by the hip.
You were with him through everything.
When he became Iron Man, when he joined the avengers, and even during civil war. Even though it hurt you to see your family be torn apart, you could never betray your father. Then again, you have to admit that you were happy that the avengers compromised and were able to get back together. Earning you a new family member in Bucky. You were happy. Happy with the life you have with your dad and avengers.Â
Which is why your mother suddenly reappearing and demanding to be in your life kinda of peeved you off.Â
Letâs start from the beginning.Â
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It started off with a gala.Â
Some bougie charity event that rich assholes attend to donate large sums of money, not out of kindness, but only to show just how rich they are. You hated these types of events. You hated the fake smiles and false interest in your life. All they wanted was to get close to your dad. They even try to set you up with their snobby stuck up kids. You hated it.Â
And here you were, trying to find a way to get out of this boring conversation with some snob from Beverly hills. You can see your dad laughing at you from across the room.Â
âYou know, you look a lot like Mrs. Wayne.â He suddenly says, looking at you.
âWho?â You ask, suddenly paying attention.
âMrs. Wayne, you know, Bruce Wayne's wife.â
You know who Bruce Wayne was. Your dad absolutely detestes the man. He never really told you why. He just said to never trust a Wayne. You also know that heâs Batman and his army of children are/were Robin. It was pretty obvious and rather easy to figure out. Then again, you were able to hack into the Bat computers main systems. They really need to update their firewalls.Â
âUm no I didnât know that he had a wife to be honest.â You reply, not really interested.
âYou can pass as her daughter you know? She is very beautiful. As are you.â He says in a flirty tone.Â
You roll your eyes, seeing your father finishing up a conversation and make your move, but then you hearÂ
âOh look, there's the Wayne family right there.âÂ
Causing the attention to turn to the main entrance. There you saw Bruce Wayne. Tall, handsome, and charismatic. He was smiling, waving at the host. Next to him, his oldest son Dick. Another very handsome man, Tall with blue eyes and raven hair. Sending charming smiles to the crowds of women. Then Tim Drake, too focused on his phone to pay attention to the crowds, and finally Damian Wayne. A small boy with a sharp scowl. To his left, you can barely make out the form of his wife and his daughter, Cassandra Cain. You can also see Stephanie Brown chatting excitedly to Mrs. Wayne, who you still couldnât see.
âJeez, they brought the whole cavalry.â You mutter, looking at the star struck boy you were talking to.
You roll your eyes. The way people worship this family is strange. They act as if they are royalty or gods. You look at your father, expecting him to be making a sarcastic face or something. But thatâs not what you saw. No, you saw a look on his face that you havenât seen on his face ever. Thatâs when you walked up to him.
âDaddy...are you okay?â You asked cautiously. He turned to you, shocked.
âY/n!â He practically shouts, â Iâm okay, are you okay? We can leave right now if youâre not okay?âÂ
You frown in confusion, â Umm yeah, Iâm fine...â
âGood, Good. Weâre going to leave now, this gala kinda blows. DOnât you think?â
You can see his eyes dart to the Waynes to you. He looks...panicked. It was weird to you. Usually he keeps his cool during events like these.Â
âUm sure..I just need to go to the restroom firstâ You say, seeing him nod. You walk off, shaking off the concern you have for your father. As you push through the crowds, you can hear them whisper as you passed. Something about Mrs. Wayne.Â
You shake your head, âCanât they talk about anything else??âÂ
Then you finally find the bathroom. You walk in, expecting it to be empty, only to be faced with Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown. They were chatting near the sinks as you walking into the stall. After doing your business, you walked out to the sink, going to wash your hands, but you saw Stephanie freeze, then nudge Cassandra. They both stared at you as you washed your hands and went to dry them. You give them a side eye, wondering why they were staring at you so hard.Â
âUm hi?â You say carefully, the jump not expecting you to speak.
âOh! Hello Im Stephanie and this is Cassâ Stephanie says with a smile. â Youâre Y/n Stark right?â
âUh yeah...Its nice to meet you dudesâ You say quickly, already ready to walk out the restroom.Â
âIâm sorry for staring, itâs just that...you look a lot like her motherâ She says gesturing to Cassandra.Â
You chuckle, â Uh yeah so Iâve heard...hey I gotta go...â
âOh right! Sorry hehâ Stephanie laughs nervously, âIt was great to meet youâ
âYeahâ You agree half heartedly, â You tooâ
And with that you go to find your father. You pass by the Wayne sons, only to see them take a double take when you pass them.Â
âGod that family is weird.â You mumble seeing your father talking to Bruce and his wife. He looked distressed and angry. You speed up, wanting to make sure your father doesnât punch Bruce Wayne the way he looks like he's going to.
âHey dad...um Iâm ready to go.â You says with your back turned on the Waynes.
âY/n..â Your dad says panic exploding on his face, â Y/n sweetheart um...â
âYn?â You hear a woman whisper. You turn to see Bruce Wayne and...your mother.Â
You remember the day she left. It was a sunny day. The kind of days that usually are in good memories and have happy endings. She was supposed to take you to the park so you can meet your dad there. You hardly saw her over the years, just every three months when she would come to the then Stark Tower to visit. But that say...that day was different. She had gotten a call, from who you donât know, nut it seemed important. Because she left at that very moment and never came back. She never reached out, never called, texted or anything. Just radio silence. Your dad was heart broken. He had hoped that one day she would move in with you and him, and you could be a family. He loved her with his whole heart, but she just didnât love you both enough to stay. He was a mess after she left, and you picked up the pieces.
You were nine.
If it wasnât for Pepper stepping in after witnessing one of his breakdowns, you donât know what wouldâve happened.
You stare at the woman who left you, who broke your fathers heart. Who broke your heart.
âMs. Wayne.â you say curtly, taking pleasure in the way her face fell, â Mr. Wayne, itâs lovely to see you again. If youâll excuse me and my father, it seems like heâs not feeling too well.â
You werenât lying, Tony looked like he was about to puke. His face was pale and he was kinda sweaty. So you wrapped your arm around him and lead him to the entrance, starting to pull out your phone to call Happy.
âY/n wait!â Your mother cried out, pulling her arm away from Bruce and placing a hand in your shoulder. You jerked your shoulder out of her grasp.
â Y/n, I know youâre mad at meâ she starts, cringing when she hears you scoff, â But wait a second. Let me look at you...my petal youâre so big.â
You turn and glare at her, â Donât call me that.â
âOh Y/n, pleaseââYou cut her off again.
âHey iâm just going along with what you want. This is what you wanted right? No contact with us?â
You can see a crowd start to form around you, and you see the scattered Wayneâs push through it. They look at each other in confusion trying to understand how you seem to know their mother.
â Of course thatâs not what I wanted, oh petal I meant to call I just...â She trailed off
âCouldnât be bothered?â you say harshly, â I couldnât care less. Just leave us alone. That should be easy for you.â
You feel your dad tug on your hand, and you turn to him. Eyes softening when you see the expression on his face.
â Happys here kiddo.â He says softly. You nod and start to walk away. And you hear your mother protest, but you cut her off with a venomous,
âIt was nice seeing you again Mom.â
and then you were gone. This time, leaving your mother behind and her confused husband and children.

Ik your request is off, but when your request is open can u write dating headcanons with Kazuha ? I like your works so much which is y i send u a request hehe
No rush please take care author-nim :'D
This is a long time coming, but Iâm glad to know that youâre still a Kazuha simp even after all this time ahahha thank you for your kind words and I hope you like this!!
Kazuha Dating Headcanons
How itâs like âbeing withâ the fugitive wandering samurai. (masterlist)
Beforehand
The whole dating thing is entirely dependent on when you met or known Kazuha. So for this one, we establish that you and Kazuha are friends even before he became a fugitive.
Your clan and the Kaedahara clan are known to be close, and thatâs how youâve known your childhood friend. Youâre always together during the peace time of Inazuma, sometimes getting into trouble due to his wayfaring nature.
Your family tried desperately to help the Kaedahara clan with their financial issues but it wasnât exactly enough to maintain such a large clan. Soon enough the samurai clan lost its power, and what remains of their abode became foreign as a more powerful clan reclaimed it.
But despite all of that, Kazuhaâs happiness is your main priority and youâre relieved that despite the misfortune the young master felt more freer than ever. He leaves the sheltered life behind with the promise to visit you as frequent as he could.
And that he does, even when the vision hunt decree was enacted, even when itâs unsafe to be near the area where many eyes can identify him, Kazuha always kept his promises to visit and spend time with. And thankfully, with the history of your clans, your family are still ever so welcoming to his presence.
You even met his newfound friend (and his adorable cat!) during one of his visits, and Kazuha felt all the heaviness on his shoulders disappear when you two hit it off instantly! And after that visit he received a pat on the back and a thumbs up from his friend, telling him that he got his blessing.
This caused said friend to get smacked over the head by a flustered Anemo boy.
So when the news that he perished after issuing a duel before the throne came to you, the pain was just as bad as Kazuhaâs anguish. That night you huddled together in the comforts of your room, weeping over your friend and the danger Kazuha now faces. Somehow all the peaceful times blurred into nothingness, the period of darker times and complications marked that day.
But you despite it all, Kazuha is still the honest man that he is, and he will fulfill his promises to the end: for you, for him, and for his slumbering friend.
Courting
Kazuha is a man of words and custom. Sometimes you think that his passion for poetry and wit were the things that made you fall for him, and he thought it was the best method to confess to someone as honorable as you.
So, yes, it was Kazuha who first confessed through a lengthy, poetic love letter that he left after sleeping over one night, something that he had planned many weeks ago yet kept to himself. Why would you want to be with someone who has nothing to his name? A person that you canât spend time with freely, who prioritizes his selfish desire to be a vagabond than stay longer with you?
These thoughts stayed with him throughout the week that he avoided coming to your house and still lingered as he begrudgingly trudged up the hill to where your estate is, expecting the rejection at the sight of you waiting for him at the balcony of your room, his usual point of entry.
âYOU!â Kazuha was taken aback by the angry finger pointed at him, he was expecting something else, something sadder or guilty perhaps. Anger isnât one of them - oh yeah, he did avoid you for a week, didnât he? âYou have the guts to drop this-â the sight of the letter in your hand made him physically recoil, âand then disappear for a week like nothing happened?! Come up here right now or Iâm dropkicking your ass!â
Hurriedly, in main concern of your well-being, Kazuha used his elemental skill to jump up to the balcony - where he was met by a tight hug and you reciprocating his feelings. He hugs back in relief, before being smacked over the head for what he did.
Kazuha carries his hobby with him when you started dating, when you told him how nice it was and how you always feel flustered when itâs directed at you. Poetry, haikus, letters complimenting everything he loves about you when he knows it will take a while for him to come back. You have a special box filled with all his notes. And your favorite one:
My love is a butterfly Flies from hither to stay here forever In love and true perfection
On worse days when heâs there, at night he brings comfort by playing with his leaf, a skill of leaf-blowing he picked up from his travels and perfected for your sake. When there are times when you couldnât sleep properly, heâs always there to pluck a leaf from the trees outside, playing a tune until you find the right comfort to rest. Usually in the company of his arms.
Kazuha absolutely loves cooking for you! When rare days comes that he is able to visit during daytime he likes to demonstrate his cooking skills, always assuring that he gets the freshest ingredients for you to eat. Theyâre barely a miss, like he knows your taste more than you. He takes a mental note of your favorites, your reactions and of course, your honest feedback.
The next time he comes over, he has enough to feed your family. Sometimes you feel your clan loves him more than you did.
When there are interesting things heâd encountered during his travels, heâs sure to tell you the best of them! These moments are like subtle nudges of him to convince you to join him on his adventures, enticing you with his stories to a life full of meaning and excitement out there.
More often than not at the end of his story sessions, despite knowing that it isnât safe for you to go out (with or without him) heâll always have this soft look in his eyes as he looks at you, smile so soft as he looks at you like a daydream, âI canât wait to be with you out there.â
Kazuha loves it when he gets a reaction from you, whether it be your happiness or relief as he ascends to your home, genuine curiosity over his tales, the embarrassment when he makes a move, or even the worry when he comes back looking a little worse for wear.
Traveling with Kazuha
Youâve always lived a semi-sheltered life in Inazuma due to your protective clan, with your interaction mostly focused with the villagers of your area and the people in your estate. When the decree started, you barely go out now, your people feared that your Vision would be taken away if the Tenryou Commission were to see you.
It was also the main reason why despite Kazuhaâs desire to show you a whole new world out there, he couldnât ever prioritize his own feelings over your safety. It was also one of the main reasons he joined the Resistance: to make a better world for you so that he can be with you in a free world.
However, one day, a clan thatâs in the favor of the Vision Hunt Decree snitched on you to the Tenryou Commission. And you were almost captured (as the only Vision holder in your clan) if not for Kazuha arriving at the last minute, fighting them off before escaping with you.
Your family was able to contact him before everything escalated, and decided that it was far more safer for you to be with him than stay at your clan. And so became your current life with Kazuha.
With a favor, Kazuha managed to get you to join the Crux Fleet. And it took a whole month before everyone (including Beidou) to find out about your relationship. This quiet boy? In a relationship with you?! Everyone calmly lost their shit, and there was a drinking party on board (for the rowdy adults).
It was warm, carefree and exciting. Despite your previous worries about the life you left behind, next to Kazuha in the middle of the ocean, somehow things ended up alright. Better even.
You jive with everyone quite well, especially with Beidou - the woman loves you to bits! Teasing you, pulling you around after finding out your backstory, as Kazuha awkwardly follows from behind in silence.
Whenever youâre around, Kazuhaâs demure demeanor completely vanishes, from the mysterious kid that the crew didnât know the name of for weeks turns into a rambunctious teen thatâs only purpose is to make you crack a smile or laugh.
He is so down bad, everyone but you notices this, and soon he too became a huge target for teasing.
Youâve realized too that Kazuha smells a lot like the nature around him, sometimes the sea salt from the sea that you spend most of your days on, to the maple leaves of the forest near the docks of the cities you land in, or the musky, earthly scent of the mountains that you both trek.
Kazuha likes to be by your side every second of the day, as long as possible. And oh does he love teaching you things about the outside world, like how to tell the weather, the constellations in the sky, the inner workings of the ship.
Heâs like a lovesick puppy trailing behind you. Sometimes he had to be physically removed away from you to help out on the ship, and the unlucky crew member who drags him away during a particularly bad mood gets the worst glare in their life. If they try to tell it to the others, the crew wonât believe him.
Kazuha Kaedahara had always been fascinated by you, and now that youâre here with him, he wouldnât pass up to spend every second together. Anywhere in the world, with him youâll be safe.

Dear diary.
This is the story of how I really lost my virginity. I know that no one is going to see this, but I figured writing about it would make it seem better. Easier.
Itâs something Iâve been reluctant to share with anybody until now. A lot of things have happened since I wrote to you last. Youâve heard about this man before.
Heâs been my fatherâs best friend for years. Since they were boys. Best man at my parentâs wedding, there in the waiting room the day I was born, present at every birthday party since then. Giving me presents, treating me with so much love.
Uncle Bucky, as heâd come to be named in our family, had watched me grow up and I was his princess. The niece he never had. He showered me with everything a little girl could wish for. We had secrets. It was just something that was shared between the two of us.
But once I turned eighteen, something changed in Bucky. His fondness of me turned into an obsession. I felt it like a pendulum changing its magnetic attraction point. Every time he was over at our house, he would become distracted.
Iâve known all along what made him distracted. It was something I reveled in. But he knew he couldnât do anything while my dad was around. So, he came up with a plan to get me alone.
Friday, 3:21pm
Going away with Bucky for the weekend as a graduation present seemed like everything she had hoped for. She would finally be free from her parents, even if it was only a weekend. She made her way around her room cheerily, throwing some random pieces of clothing along with her bathing suit, a towel and some toiletries into her bag, feeling her stomach jump slightly.
When Bucky had given her a weekend getaway to his lake house as a graduation present last week, she had been overjoyed. Finally, she had the chance to feel a little bit alive, since her parents hadnât let her celebrate graduation with her classmates.
A gift from your favorite uncle! Had been scrawled into the card in Bucky's messy handwriting. She just knew heâd been standing at the florists, greasy hands stuffed in his pockets, nervously buying 18 red roses for her. Bucky had always made sure she had everything. He was her dad's coolest friend, and he would spoil her as much as he could.
It hadn't taken a lot of persuasion from her side to let her parents agree to hang out with Bucky for a weekend. He'd babysat her before when she was younger, but it was different now that sheâd turned 18. The rules they had set were minimum, but they were there. No drinking, no nothing they wouldnât do. A little more loose than usual, but she appreciated it, nonetheless.
Her parents, Steve and Peggy, had grown uptight over the last few years, and everything was about keeping her safe and keeping boys away from her. There was always an excuse as to why she couldnât go to a party or why she couldnât go on a date with Peter, the guy she had been studying with at school.
Peter was a good kid; she knew that much. He never tried anything with her, and always held back when she would flirt with him during their study sessions at the library. Even that one time sheâd tried to hold his hand, heâd shrugged her off and excused himself for the day.
She never figured out why he didnât want her affection, but she found out soon after, when she saw him kiss his best friend just after the graduation ceremony. Itâd hurt â a lot â but she figured it was for the better. A day didnât even pass before she was laughing at her obliviousness.
This year, when sheâd finally turned 18, sheâd hoped that everything would settle down with her parents and theyâd loosen the restraints on her, but she was wrong. Apparently now, there was even more reason for keeping her home and away from boys. She figured they were afraid of her getting knocked up or something along the lines of that.
The only man sheâd see on a regular basis out of school was Uncle Bucky. He and her father would always be working on their motorcycles in front of the garage, and she would watch them from her window on the first floor. Sheâd found her window to be a great place to keep an eye on them â on him.
She knew that Bucky worked out a lot and put a lot of effort into looking good on a daily basis, but there was just something captivating about him when his hands were covered in grease, strands of his hair falling from the half bun at the back of his head, the sweat glistening on his skin in the sun. He was attractive. And very much so.
If he was only ten years younger and not her fatherâs best friend, she wouldâve been more than interested in him. Well, she was interested⌠But she knew that her father wouldnât ever allow something like it, let alone⌠No. It just wasnât happening.
Detaching herself from her train off thoughts and zipping up her weekend bag, she heard a car honk from the driveway. She made her way over to the window and a smile spread across her face as she saw Buckyâs sleek, black convertible pull up. She hurried over to her bag, making sure she had everything before nearly jumping down the stairs to get out of the house.
âBye dad! Bye mom!â she yelled just as she pushed open the door, making her way to Bucky who was now leaning against the hood of his car. When he noticed her approaching, he pushed his body off the hood and opened his arms for her, letting her run into his warm embrace with a giggle. A muttered hi was shared between the two of them before he pulled away, walking around the hood to open the car door for her.
Giving her bag to Bucky before he shut the passenger door made her stomach flutter slightly. She hears the trunk opening and closing, and when he slides into the driverâs seat beside her and pulls out of the driveway, he's already telling jokes and making her laugh.
It was gonna be a fun weekend, she expected that much. She had great plans.
Friday, 4:02pm
Arriving at his lake house had her eyes widening. It was like a whole new house. There had been added an extension to the main house since she was here last summer, and the front porch had been painted white. Bucky parked the car, and she threw open the door of the car, getting out in one fluid motion.
"Wow! This is amazing Bucky!" she smiled at him as they both ventured up the stairs to his front porch. Bucky unlocked the door and they both stepped into the house. Sheâs taken aback once again.
"This is so much neater than the last time I was here!"
The whole place has been fully renovated, and there's newer, modern furniture complimenting the freshly painted walls. She admires the giant painting on the furthest wall and remembers the unfinished canvas that had been sitting untouched in one of her parentâs rooms last year.
âHe finished it.â She smiled and stepped closer to it, admiring the thick, colorful paint strokes upon the black background. She heard Buckyâs footsteps behind her, trailing back through his house.
"Check out the view." She hears Bucky's voice from somewhere in the kitchen. She places her bag on one of the chairs in the living room, walking over to the glass sliding doors that lead out to the back garden, and she bursts out into a smile.
The lake you once had to walk through trees to get to, is now visible from where sheâs standing. The belt of trees has been cut down, and the trunks has been dug up. She could see further than ever. She could even see the water supply tower that showed where the city began. If she squinted, she could see her parentsâ backyard.
"This is incredible! I wish we lived here," she sighed and turned to find Bucky standing in the doorway. If sheâd known of the way Buckyâs heart had thumped in his chest at her revelation, her smile would fall immediately. She internally begged to whomever, that Bucky hadnât noticed her say we. Instead, he spoke up about something else.
"You still have to see the new amenities." A smile tugged on Bucky's lips.
"What amenities?" He knew sheâd love what heâd installed for her, and only her. Sheâd talked about it for weeks on end the past five summers, and during the winter heâd finally found the time and materials to fulfill her dreams.
"The pool." his eyes glinted with something near mischief. Her eyes widened along with her smile.
"You have a pool? That's amazing!" Just the reaction heâd hoped for. He loved it when she lit up like fairy lights, her eyes filling with glee. It made his heartbeat faster in his chest.
"Did you bring your suit?" she didn't know if she heard it right, but it seemed that his voice had dropped an octave. She nodded as she grabbed her bikini out of her bag, making her way to the newly renovated bathroom to change.
Bucky watched her as she with a giggle made her way through his house, her arms wrapped around her form to shield her nakedness from the older man, who subtly tried to not look at her. âYouâre not joining me?â her innocent voice filled his ears and he shut his eyes tightly before turning just a bit away from her.
âNo, Iâve got some things to do. Maybe later.â His eyes quickly came up as he heard the sliding door open, watching her ass as she made her way from the patio door to the point where she descended the built-in stairs into the newly built pool.
He felt his cock twitch in his pants, the sight of her in her skimpy purple bikini was making the blood flow to his cock at an undeniable speed. He watched as her shoulders shuddered before she dived under water, her perky ass just caressing the surface from below.
He clenched his jaw before turning on his heel, the image of her half naked body burned into his retina. He needed to get it out of his system, and he needed to do it fast. He knew that there was no way he would ever forget what he had just seen, but either way he had to do something about the situation in his pants.
Making his way into the bathroom nearest the pool, he quickly unbuckled his pants and shoved both them and his underwear down to his thighs. His cock sprung free, slapping against his stomach, hard and proud and he spat into his hand before gripping it tightly, letting out a strangled groan.
"Fuck yes, god you're such a fucking tease..." his head rolled back as he moved his hand, keeping a tight grip around the shaft, imagining her lithe body taking his cock, all of his cock. âBet you know what youâre doing to me. Bet you know how I feel about you.â His last words were followed by a groan.
The veins pulsated beneath his fingers as he let his head fall forward and he opened his eyes, watching as he fucked into his hand. He saw her body before him, drenched in the cool water of the pool, goosebumps rising on her skin, and he let out another strangled groan, god, he was so close.
It was unlike any time heâd ever jerked off to the vision of her. It was intensified â by powers he didnât know where from. Maybe it was from her being close. So close he could reach out and claim her as his â just like heâd always wanted to.
He felt the well-known tightening in this scrotum, this time so powerful they drove tears to his eyes. God â he wanted her so badly it hurt. Yet, he had to restrain himself for the time being, he thought, as the movements of his hand picking up speed and he sucked in a breath just as he felt the surge of euphoria overcome him, and-
"Oh my god, Bucky I'm so sorry!"
Friday, 4:43pm
The air that hits her when she emerges from the water is cold. Sheâs shivering as she throws her arms around herself, making her way up the stairs and inside the house.
She has no idea where Bucky went, so light on her toes, arms trying to warm her torso, she makes her way to the nearest bathroom to take a warm shower. Her teeth are clattering, her frame littered with goosebumps as she trod lightly through the slightly warmer house.
She stops on one foot when she hears a sound, a sound that resembles a moan an awful lot. It canât be. She approaches the half-open door cautiously, thinking her next move over at least a thousand times before she finally gives in and pushes the door open wider, making her halt completely.
There, in all his glory is Bucky, touching himself for whomever may have walked in to see. That whomever being her. She lets out a shriek before turning her back to him. âOh my god, Bucky Iâm so sorry!â She squeezes her eyes shut tightly, the embarrassment warming up her body quickly as she hears a rustling of clothes behind her.
She silently prays that he isnât mad at her for walking in on such an intimate moment for him. It lit something inside of her, though, seeing him all hot and bothered for her. Everything that sheâs ever imagined about him was definitely an understatement. She hears his footsteps behind her and soon after the heat radiating off his chest against her back, before he speaks up.
âDonât worry about it,â His voice is so deep she can barely recognize it. âThe bathroom is all yours.â
She locks eyes with him as he walks past her, his pupils blown wide like sheâs never seen them before. She wraps her arms tighter around herself, trying to cover up from his prying eyes. She nods her head slightly before turning on her heel, walking into the bathroom.
She makes sure the door is locked behind her before she strips herself of her bikini, making sure to hang them to dry on the small, heated towel rack, before finding a towel under the sink where he usually keeps them.
The shower she takes is as long as it usually would take, only now her thoughts are occupied with flashes of Bucky touching himself. Why was he touching himself? Her mind wanders to who the reason could be. She knew heâd had a girlfriend named Natasha once â she was beautiful and had lips like the fullest, reddest cherry â she looked like every manâs wet dream.
She also knew from photos that heâd had a long-time girlfriend in high school through college named Dot â brunette and curvy and with the prettiest facial features sheâd ever laid her eyes upon â all the women she had known Bucky to date were so beautiful, he could only think of either them or some hot porn stars heâd probably seen online.
But why now while she was here? Her eyes rolled back as she let out a whimper, her fingers gliding between her smooth, velvet lips, the vision of his hand gliding along the smooth skin of his cock letting her imagination run wild.
Her eyes went wide when she realized what she was doing, and she quickly retracted her fingers from where she now felt a certain warmth spread. She let out a deep sigh as she rested her head against the wall of the shower, the warm water still cascading down her back, heating her freezing limbs.
She finished her shower reluctantly before drying herself off, groaning inwardly as she realized sheâd forgotten to bring clean panties and even clean clothes with her to the bathroom in the furry of awkward seconds between her and Bucky. She went over the possibilities she had in her head before searching the bathroom, letting out a small yes! when she found one of Buckyâs clean shirts in one of the small cabinets.
Thinking he didnât mind, she slipped it over her head and vowed to herself to apologize to him when she saw him next. The shirt felt way too comfortable than it should have, and it instantly warmed her torso, before she pulled it down as far as it would go, just below the apex of her thighs.
She let out a sigh before unlocking the door, listening for a few second to hear where Bucky was located in the house. She heard the washing machine click open and she closed her eyes with another sigh, leaving the safe perimeters where she wouldnât face embarrassment.
Tiptoeing through the hallway, she made her way into the living room to locate her bag. It felt so wrong to walk around Buckyâs house sin panties. She hears steel clashing in the laundry room, startling her. She lets out a small huff of air before pulling out a pair of lace panties from her bag, before sliding them on under the long shirt.
Sheâs shuffling through her bag when sheâs once again startled by Bucky, this time by his voice.
âYouâre wearing my shirt.â She whips around quickly with a small yelp, lace bra and t-shirt in hand. Her eyes widen as she realizes what sheâs holding, quickly swinging her hands behind her back to hide the garments. He sees them, though, and it relights his fire even more vigorously than before.
âShit, Bucky.â She lets out a breath she didnât know she was holding as she relaxed under his intense stare. âIâm sorry, Iâd forgotten to bring clean clothes with me to the bathroom. Iâll go change right now.â she turns back to her bag to find a pair of pants, laying the garments already in her hand on the couch.
She tenses when she feels a body behind her; a set of hands sliding up her hips, thumbs tracing the outline of her panties over the fabric of her-Buckyâs shirt. She knows his eyes are watching her like a vulture, taking in her legs extending from where his shirt stops, surely imagining whatâs hidden underneath. Her breaths come out shaky and she gulps down the lump that has formed in her throat before her eyes flutter closed.
His nose finds its way into her hair, inhaling deeply before exhaling again, his fingers now venturing under the shirt sheâs wearing. She feels some kind of warmth spreading where his fingertips graze her skin, just over the fabric of her panties resting on her hip. Itâs like his fingers are fire and her hips are timbers â only waiting to be alighted.
âYou knowâŚâ his voice is still low, just as it was when she encountered him in the bathroom. âIâve been having a hard time ignoring the looks youâve sent me.â His fingers slide smoothly from her hip to the middle of her abdomen, slowly tracing small, imaginary circles on her stomach. She shudders under his touch as it brings warmth into her core, and sheâs biting her lip to keep a whimper from escaping them.
Bucky was right. She couldnât deny that she was attracted to him. Who wouldnât be? He was handsome, funny and so undeniably nice. She wasnât sure that the attraction sheâd felt towards Bucky for the past few years was reciprocated. She was definitely sure now, that his fingertips weâre playing with the hem of her panties.
âBuckyâŚâ Her eyes flutter open as her hand clasps over his, halting his movements from traveling further south. She turns in his arms, facing him, finally taking in his lust blown eyes, his parted lips and the light blush adorning his cheeks. He looks angelic. Young. It makes her heart leap in her chest.
âTell me you donât feel it. Tell me this isnât just something Iâm imagining.â His half-lidded eyes search hers in an attempt to ground himself. His right arm comes around her middle to pull her closer, her hands coming up to lay against his chest. She feels the arousal radiating off him. Warmth, and a little further south, hardness.
âTell me you donât want me, and Iâll stop.â His face nears hers, and she feels her heart hammering in her chest. Her breath hitches in her throat when she feels his lips caress hers gently. Just a small graze of soft skin against soft skin, his stubble tickling her chin and his hand tightening its hold on her shirt.
Itâs clichĂŠ to say that she feels fireworks as his lips grazes hers â maybe from the fact that sheâs closer to any man other than her father for the first time, or that sheâs just been kissed for the first time. The whole thing is making her head spin, and in that moment, she knows what she has to do.
âWe canât. Not yet,â She breathes out, letting her eyes flutter shut. She feels his warm breath fanning over her lips, the arm around her waist going slack and a deep sigh emitting from Buckyâs throat. He was just about to pull away from her when she grips his shirt in her hands.
âIâm sorry Bucky. I just⌠Youâre my dadâs best friend. I could never look him in the eyes again if weâŚâ she trails off, the embarrassment overcoming her. She looks up at him, eyes glossy from the whirlwind of feelings clashing inside of her. âIâve never⌠Heâs so strict. Iâm sorry if I led you on in any way. Iâm not used to male attention.â
Bucky lets out a heartless laugh, taking a step back and brushing her hands off him as if their encounter had never happened. His actions confuse her. He surely must have seen the emotional turmoil she just went through?
âYou want burger for dinner? I bought this sauce thatâs great with the minced beef.â He turns on his heel and leaves the room without saying anything else. Her brows furrows at his behavior. What the fuck just happened? He leaves her dumbfounded in the living room, her confused eyes following his back until he disappears behind a wall.
In the kitchen, Bucky has pulled out everything he needed to make dinner. His jaw tightens as he goes over her refusal yet again. Sheâs never what? was his first thought. Then all the pieces clicked when sheâd said the next sentence. Iâm not used to male attention.
Of course, he knew that she had never been with a guy, let alone a man. Her father told him more than enough, and it made a sinister smile spread along his face, as another branch in his plans takes form.
He will get what he wants.
Friday, 6:32pm
She had expected dinner to be an awkward affair. For her it certainly was â but it seemed like nothing had happened just a few hours before on Buckyâs account. He appeared completely unfazed by his previous actions, and it made her shudder, sitting across from him, picking at her burger. She hears his cutlery hit the plate and her eyes shoot up, seeing the empty plate where his burger had been resting less than five minutes prior.
âSo, Iâm thinking we have some things to talk about.â His voice startles her, since they had eaten in almost complete silence, the only sound during dinner was the cutlery and chewing.
âWhat things?â she felt nervous as the words left her mouth, letting her gaze fall back to the burger on her plate. She wasnât sure if she wanted to know. Sheâd been cooped up in his study since their encounter in the living room, not ready to face him until she had to.
âFirstly, what happened in the bathroom.â Her eyes shot up, his eyes looking directly into hers. Her mouth falls open, before closing again. She feels the blush creeping up into her cheeks. âI find it only fair that youâve seen me masturbate, and I you, seeing that you did touch yourself in the shower.â
Her eyes widen impossibly more, a lump forming in her throat as she took in his words. âYou⌠You watched me?â She blinked before her eyes sought to her burger yet again, the embarrassment becoming too much. How he had noticed her, was a mystery. Surely, sheâd heard him leave, but she hadnât heard him return. Maybe she was caught up in her thoughts⌠But she was quiet. Wasnât she? Was there something he wasnât-
âI heard you through the door, darling. Youâre very loud. You know that, right?â She lets out a shaky breath before standing from her seat, backing a few steps from the table, into the living room. She watches as Bucky rises from his seat as well, following her as she tried to make the space bigger between the two of them.
Bucky looks at her longingly. He had to admit she looked breathtaking, even though she was scared and angry. There was a slight twinkle in her eye though, one of which could be a hope to escape whatever he had in store for her. It dawned on Bucky, that she probably had no idea what he had planned to do to her, and he smirked when her eyes darted around, not being able to focus on anything.
âWhat is you want from me, Bucky?â Her voice was shaking when she finally spoke. He shook his head with a slight laugh. She must have known by now. He basically told her everything in the living room. Confessed his feelings for her. Admitting without words.
âOh baby⌠Youâre still so innocent.â Her back hit the wall of his living room, her breath hitching in her throat. He came impossibly closer, caging her up against the wall. âCome on now⌠We tried this the easy way. Give into me.â
His hand tangled in her hair before he buried his nose in it, inhaling the sweet scent of her shampoo. With a hand tightly fisting her hair, the other found its way under her shirt. She let out a sob as she felt the cup give into Buckyâs pull, the soft flesh of her breast spilling out of the cup.
âBucky pleaseâŚâ She tried to reason, trying to turn away from his grasp. She felt his hand leave her hair to hold her throat as the hand under her shirt it made its way down her torso, popping the button of her pants.
She froze as his fingers slid into her panties, her eyes widening in surprise. It surprised her that the hold on her neck had the effect on her it did â it scared her as well.
âWhat are you- no!â she cried out as she felt one of his fingers burying itself into her entrance. Another digit joined the first shortly after, making her gasp. Bucky had her trapped, and he enjoyed it. His hand left her throat and found her cheek, stroking a fallen tear away lovingly while he pushed his fingers deeper into her, his thumb grazing her clit roughly.
âIâll make you feel good. I promise, baby.â His fingers picked up the pace as she felt a coil tighten in her stomach. She tried to fight the pleasure that was forced upon her, the tears falling from her eyes freely by now. She felt the coil snap, and with a cry she came around Buckyâs fingers reluctantly. Her cunt clenching around his fingers felt like heaven, and at that moment, he was sure this was what heaven felt like.
âSuch a good girl. You like that, huh baby?â His breath fanned over her face, the air coming off as cold on her drying cheeks. She shook her head with a sob, sucking in a breath through her nose, even though she desperately wanted to agree.
She felt Bucky retract his fingers from her panties, bringing them to his lips before sucking them into his mouth. Watching his fingers covered in her slick disappearing between his lips made her heart hammer impossibly harder in her chest.
âSo goddamn sweet. Like honey, darling. Youâre just hiding this sweet pussy, huh?â His filthy words take her aback, and her mouth falls open in shock. She doesnât know what to say. Baffled, she barely feels when he lifts her by the thighs, carrying her into his bedroom, where he throws her on the bed. As her back collides with his soft covers, sheâs finally pulled out of the trance.
âBuckyâŚâ her voice is quivering as his hands tug her pants down her legs, goosebumps rising as she feels his stubble against her thighs, her calves, her feet. His lips trace their way up the inside of her legs, her eyes widening again as she realizes what heâs doing now.
âBucky, please, donât!â she whimpers, but to no avail. Bucky buries his nose into her mound, inhaling her scent, just as the words leave her mouth. She whimpers when she realized it feels good, even though it shouldnât.
âSuch a lovely girl⌠Such a lovely pussyâŚâ His words unsettle her, making her stomach twist. She tries to push at his head with her hands, whining as she feels his teeth nip at her clit. He can feel her panicking underneath him, and it makes him smile.
She feels the fabric tighten against her skin before she hears it tear, and shortly after his mouth latches onto her clit. She silently sobs out, arms and legs thrashing about. His hands push up her legs, at the same time collecting her hands in his, tightening his hold on her. She feels the ability to move becoming harder, and she sobs again out as his tongue flicks her clit harshly.
âStay still, darling⌠Or this will get worse.â Her eyes widen as she takes in his words. Worse? What could be worse than this? She was unable to kick him, unable to slap him. She was unable to push him away, unable to stop him from invading her body.
In her haze, she barely registers her climax building before it hits her, making her cry out as ecstasy takes over her body. The muscles in her legs tighten around him, her whole body shaking from the earth-shattering orgasm unlike anything sheâs ever felt before. Her mind is in a haze so deep, she could barely tell right from wrong anymore.
Having Bucky in between her legs felt so right, like the two of them fit together as puzzle pieces. At the same time, she knew it was wrong â so wrong. She felt herself thrash around from her oversensitivity; her mind completely detached from her body. Her gaze fell to where Bucky was placed between her legs, and she let out a moan at how sinful he appeared, his pupils blown wide, and a wide grin plastered on his face.
She shivered at the feral look in his eyes as he peppered kisses up her stomach, pushing up her shirt and pulling down her bra, sucking one of her nipples into his mouth. She let out a wanton moan, for a short moment forgetting the situation. His lip around her perked nipples is making her pussy gush with want. She watches as he pulls his shirt over his head, baring his muscular torso to her prying eyes.
âGonna make you feel so good, baby.â He breathes out against her skin, goosebumps rising on her skin where his breath had hit. âYouâre not gonna want any other man than me when Iâm done with you.â She feels his hands working in between her legs, her senses kicking in when she realizes his hands are working on unbuttoning his pants.
Tears start streaming down her face again, her head thrashing around, whimpers leaving her mouth as fear takes over her body for real. Her hands come to rest against his shoulders, trying to push him away. âBucky, pleaseâŚâ she whimpers, trying to restrain him from taking her most sacred possession from her, but to no avail.
With one swift thrust he pushes inside of her. She shuts her eyes tightly, the pain unimaginable. Thereâs a soaring pain in between her legs, with Buckyâs cock stretching her ever so painfully. She realizes heâs stopped moving, letting her body adjust to him as her walls pulsed around his throbbing member. Whimpers are leaving her mouth, short puffs of breaths landing against the skin of his pectoral muscle.
Bucky smirks triumphantly down at her. Knowing he had been her first stirred something inside him. A sob escaped her as she started to cry audibly, his hands sliding down her sides to grasp her hips in his hands. He locks her legs around his waist, driving himself deeper into her, his thrusts hard and pace increasing. He watches her face through half-lidded eyes, soft groans falling from his lips.
Her walls were milking him, her body begging for him to come. He buries his face into the crook of her shoulder as his thrusts picks up the pace further, uncontrollable and with no rhythm at all. Heâs thrusting into her most sensitive spot, earning a few moans from her lips before sheâs coming undone around him, her body trembling as her walls convulsed around Buckyâs cock, tears streaming down her cheeks. She feels Bucky burying himself deeply inside her before heâs coming right after her with a load groan.
His hair is tickling her nose â she can smell his scent â pine, fresh air, Bucky. It suddenly felt alright. A sense of calm washes over her, the sense of familiarity making her relax slightly. As she feels him shift on top of her, her mind goes back into freeze mode, her eyes widening as he lifts his torso off hers. The two of them were still connected.
Bucky found her scent intoxicating, and he knew she werenât done yet. He wasnât done yet. Her expression turned into fear, unlike anything Bucky had seen before. âBaby, donât look at me like thatâŚâ His voice was sulky, as if he didnât deserve to attend to her fear.
âWeâre nowhere near done yet.â
Fear surged through her body as the words fell from his lips. She didnât want this. Not again. She wanted to cry and scream for him to stop. She had spilled so many tears already, and her screaming had left her throat dry and hoarse.
âPlease BuckyâŚâ Her body was tired, and she was emotionally drained. He shifted on top of her, his hands grasping her ankles and flipping her over before lifting her hips, bringing her to her hands and knees. He got on his knees behind her, just as she pushed her face into the bedsheets, letting out a sob as his hands brushed their way up the skin of her back.
âGod youâre so delicate. Like a petal of the most exquisite rose.â She felt his breath on her butt cheeks. She let out a sob, realizing how close he actually was to her most private area. She felt his teeth bite into her left cheek and heard him let out a hum of appreciation.
âSo good for me, huh baby?â The sob she let out just seconds before had escalated into full on crying â only lacking tears since she was so tired. Sheâs begging him to let her go, to stop for now, but she knew he wouldnât listen. She felt his hands grab at her waist roughly, positioning himself and plunging back inside of her used cunt.
It didnât even sound like she was screaming. Maybe all it was, was a weak screech and she quickly gave up, letting him have his way with her overly sensitive body. She was still wet â her come and his mixing together inside of her. Bucky used it as makeshift lube, sliding into her easily. Her hands turned into fists as she realized his hold on her hips would make it impossible for her to wiggle away from him.
A soft yelp left her lips as the newfound position made his thrusts seem impossibly deeper. She could hear Bucky hum behind her, compliment her as he took her, letting her know how pleased he was to finally have her. She tried to cancel out the sound of their bodies meeting â wet and slick sounds of his cock plunging its way deeply inside of her, and she gasped as she felt him get rougher again.
He slammed into her, groaning for her to follow him, to come with him, making her cry out. Bucky hit her cervix repeatedly, painfully, again and again until she came a fourth time, her body pulling and clenching around him, begging him to let go, and he came yet again with a loud groan.
He stroked her back lovingly as he almost collapsed against her back, her legs quivering underneath the weight of their bodies. It took Bucky a while to remove himself from her, but when he did, he didnât hesitate to clean her up thoroughly, making sure she was perfect for him.
âCome on darling, roll over for me.â Bucky commanded, and she simply let out a deep breath and moaned. She couldnât do it. She didnât have the strength and the will anymore. All she wanted to do was to hide away from the world. From Bucky.
âRoll over for me.â He said again, this time punctuating all four words, rolling his eyes as she let out a whine in protest. He ended up grabbing her waist and turning her over himself, laying her down before laying down himself and pulling her into his arms.
âThat wasnât so bad, was it?â his hands slid down the curve of her waist, fingers drawing imaginary circles on her hipbone. She let out a huff before hiding her face in his neck, feeling her eyes wet with tears yet again. They slid down her cheek and landed in the crevice of his collarbone, pooling among droplets of sweat from their sex.
âYou did so good, darling. Iâm so proud of you.â A wracked sob left her at his words. She felt him bury his nose into her hair, his lips peppering kisses onto her scalp as he softly shushed her, his arms gently rocking her as he let her cry.
âItâs all gonna be okay darling, Iâll take care of you.â With that, she fell into a dreamless slumber.
Saturday, 9:21am
Bucky watched her as the soft morning sun peeked through his curtains, which wasnât drawn the whole way. Her eyelashes laid softly against her rosy cheeks; her eyelids still puffy from the crying she did last night. His eyes studied her face calmly before traveling down her naked, uncovered body, his head propped up on his arm, his temple laying against his fist.
His eyes fell on her breasts, admiring her perked nipples and the small stretchmarks pointing to the rosy bud. He sucked his bottom lip into his mouth, his fingers reaching out to graze the soft skin under her breast. His hand made its way down the curve of her waist, pushing down the covers laying against her skin.
As her navel was revealed, Bucky felt his cock twitch. Images from last night of her body underneath him filled his mind, how good she felt around his cock, how deliciously sinful her moans had filled his ears, how fucking good her slick tasted on his tongue⌠He was definitely in deep.
How she managed to calm herself down after more than two hours of crying and sobbing through what he had forced upon her, to now look more peaceful and beautiful as ever blew his mind. Her eyelids fluttered before she shifted slightly, her hand coming up to rub at her eyes.
He didnât fight the want to stroke at her hair, so thatâs what he did. He lifted his hand and pushed a strand behind her ear, his thumb stroking her cheekbone afterwards. To Buckyâs surprise she leaned into his touch, a small smile tugging at her lips.
It dawned on him that she, at this moment, wasnât awake enough to remember what had transpired last night. She stretched her arms in front of her, hands landing against Buckyâs shoulder and pectoral muscles, and her eyes fluttered open quickly as she withdrew her hands hurriedly.
âBucky?â her voice quivered before her bottom lip started wobbling â her face twisting with realization. Her eyes widened at her undressed state, not fully covered by the covers, and she yanked the fabric up to cover her breasts while sitting up slightly.
âMorning beautiful.â He watched as her muscles tensed before she relaxed slightly. Her lips move on their own accord as she whispers out a morning. âHow are you feeling?â His hand came out to grasp hers, and she lets him take it.
âA little bit soreâŚâ his thumb grazes over the back of her hand and she watches it as it slides over the skin, tracing the path of the veins trailing underneath the flesh. âI uhâŚâ She bites her lip as she twists her hand in his, grasping his hands in hers.
âMhm, what is it darling? Donât go being all shy on me nowâ He watched her hand in his, feeling his heart jump slightly, feeling some sort of domestication by looking at her. The words that left her mouth shortly after took him by surprise.
âCan I see it?â she sucked her lip back between her teeth before she let out a giggle. âYour cock?â
Buckyâs mouth fell open at her choice of words before he let the covers slide down his body slowly, revealing his semi-hard cock to her. The sight of it made her inhale sharply, taking in the size of it. She realized she had barely seen it the previous day in the bathroom, since it looked even bigger now. Was that really inside of her last night? Bucky felt a smile tug on his lips as he watched her face, contorted in admiration.
âYou can touch it⌠Come on, Iâll show you how.â He watches as she bites her lip, before the hand that was holding hers tugged her hand down to his cock. She shifts closer to him as her fingers graze over the length of his cock, before gripping the base softly, nimble fingers wrapping around his girth.
His cock is heavy and warm in her hand, pulsing beneath her fingers. It somehow makes her mouth water, and she feels a sudden urge to do more than just jerk Bucky off. She doesnât give into the temptation though, deciding that this should be enough for now. She hears Bucky suck in a breath as he watches her.
âJust like that, move your hand up and down slowly, maybe tighten your grip a little bit⌠when you get to the headâŚâ She did as he told her, watching as her fingers pulls the foreskin down, before coming back up to the head of his cock. Her head whips around as she hears a groan leave his lips.
His eyes were hooded, watching her movements, eyes scanning over her body, before coming up to her face. âGod youâre beautifulâŚâ She tightened her hand further, quickening her movements. She looked into his eyes and held his gaze as she pumped his cock. There was something in his eyes â she couldnât quite place what she saw. She watched as his brows furrowed, his eyes fluttering closed, his breath coming out heavier and another groan spilling from his lips.
She twisted her head just as she felt his cock tense in her hand, watching the way white ropes of cum landing against the skin of his stomach, some pooling into his bellybutton, along with another strangled groan falling from his lips. Her lips tugged into a smile, his hand coming up to grasp the back of her neck, pulling her into a deep, heavy kiss.
She felt the same feeling as she did just under a day earlier, when he had kissed her in the living room. Sparks flying, undeniably. As her lips parted from his, he smiled. His eyes scanned over her reddened cheeks before trailing over her lips, pulling back from her to give her space.
âWhat would you like for breakfast, baby?â The words were softly spoken, and she smiled as he sat up slightly, awaiting your answer. She shrugged her shoulders lightly, not really sure if she was in the mood to eat something. Her stomach was still a bit uneasy from the events of yesterday, but she managed to get out the word smoothie, along with her best doe-eyes.
After Bucky rolled out of bed and left his bedroom to clean himself up and make her breakfast, she let out a celebratory sigh and fell back against one of his pillows. She hoped that her efforts in seeming interested in his actions would help, so he wouldnât force her into things she didnât want.
She leaned over the edge of the bed and grabbed the discarded shirt, pulling it over her head. She quietly padded over to her bag, pulling the whole bag into her arms and walking to the bathroom, before locking herself in. She stepped into the shower stall, turning the water on and twisting the handle, feeling the water getting warmer and warmer, up until the point where it was scalding her skin.
She whimpered before fully submerging herself underneath the searing water, scrubbing the insides of her thighs violently until she felt the skin grow sore and sensitive. She sobbed out as her fingers came into contact with her sensitive folds, washing away the remains of what Bucky had done to her the night before.
Just as she thought of him, she felt her heart drop in her chest when she heard a knock on the bathroom door. She hadnât even heard him approaching, and now he was just outside the door. She silently begged that he wouldnât speak or ask her for anything, but it seemed like luck wasnât on her side today either.
âBaby, breakfastâs ready.â She felt the goosebumps of disgust run down her back, even though the water was still burning her skin. Just the sound of his voice made her uncomfortable, made her guts turn uncomfortably in her stomach, which made her regret once again ever coming here with him in the first place.
âBaby?â He knocked again, making her heart clench in her chest before she answered him quietly that she was almost done, before she turned off the water, rubbing her body roughly with one of the towels laid out in one of the cabinets.
âJust a second.â She took a look in the mirror and gasped as she noticed the bruises littering her neck, arms, stomach, thighs. She had no idea how she was going to hide them from her parents. She scrambled through her bag, pulling out as many covering pieces of clothing she could possibly muster before covering up her body.
Saturday, 10:08am
When she entered the kitchen, the delicious smell of pancakes filled her nostrils and she sighed in content. She took in the table â Bucky had placed all of her favorite fruits in separate bowls and made her a smoothie. The pancakes were even chocolate chip. She felt both agitated and sure of herself, until the second she sat down.
âSo, I was really your first, huh?â Was the first question that left Bucky, a smirk plastered on his face. She felt the redness fill her cheeks before she nodded, not really wanting to engage in a conversation with him. She grabbed a handful of blueberries, stuffing them into her mouth and chewing on the sweet fruits.
âYou know⌠The way your body reacted to how I fucked you⌠How you moaned⌠Cried out my name⌠How your tight pussy strangled my cockâŚâ Bucky smirked as he grabbed his cup of coffee, bringing it to his lips before blowing on the surface, gently. âCould get used to that.â
She felt her heart pick up its pace in her chest, hammering against her ribcage as she sat stiff with her hands in her lap, too embarrassed to look at him. She fought her embarrassment though and looked up to where he was sitting through her lashes â he was exploring his molars with his tongue with his eyebrow cocked, watching her. Smug son of a bitch.
âYou shouldnât be so nervous, darling. Dig in! I made everything you asked for while you were hiding in my bathroom. You could at least appreciate the effort.â
Her eyes shot down, not wanting to meet his. The tone in his voice made her shiver. She reluctantly reached out and grabbed the smoothie off the table, bringing the straw to her lips before sucking the sweet fluid into her mouth. The taste of strawberry and blackberry lingered on her tastebuds, along with a tangy flavor she had trouble placing. She looked up at Bucky again.
âBucky⌠I think I would like to go home today.â She shivered as she thought about what happened last night. What could happen again. She feared it would. She took another sip of the smoothie followed by another, and placed it on the table, truly hoping Bucky would give in and let her go.
She was wrong.
His smile was wide as he watched her drink more than half of the smoothie, just waiting for the triazolam to take its toll on her nervous system. He knew the pills for his incurable insomnia would come in handy someday, and he mentally high fived himself as he noticed her getting groggier.
âThis should solve your sleeping problem, Mr. Barnes. I wouldnât normally advise for this, but if youâre in need of a faster effect, crush them into some water and ingest it shortly before going to bed.â
And that was exactly what Bucky had done when making her smoothie. The remains of the white powder in the porcelain mortar resting in the sink was the only evidence of his scheme at this point. He had everything planned â down to the last detail. Everything he had to do by the time she would wake up from her pill-induced sleep.
âYou know, darling, thereâs so much I want to show you. To teach you.â Bucky slowly got out of his chair, picking a few fruits from the bowls, before chucking them into his mouth. âThatâs why I need you to stay here, with me. Until we die.â
âBucky, I⌠whatâs happening?â she looked up at him with fearful eyes, her sight blurring Bucky into a blob of dark and fair tones before returning back to being clear as day. âIâm scared. Please.â
âYouâre gonna sleep for a little bit,â he crouched down beside her chair and her eyes widened as her brain caught up with what her ears were hearing. âBut Iâll make sure to take good care of you while youâre sleeping, I promise.â She felt his hand wipe a stray piece of hair from her face, pushing it behind her ear before he placed a kiss on her cheek.
Everything went black before her eyes, and her head landed heavily in Buckyâs hands. He watched as her eyes rolled around in her head, unable to focus on anything before finally falling closed, a sigh escaping her lips.
Bucky lifted her out of the chair gently, admiring her soft features before walking her to his bedroom. Her soft breathing was warm against his neck as he held her in his arms, one of the only things letting her know she was still sentient. He laid her on the bed carefully before beginning to rid her of all the clothes she had hidden herself in.
âOh, you silly girl⌠Trying to hide from me. Trying to get me to let you goâŚâ he carefully tugged down her jeans, throwing them on the floor. He lifted her leg off the bed, placing a kiss on top of her foot. His eyes follow the length of her legs, all the way up her body. Her beautiful body. âIâll never let you go. Youâre mine now.â
Saturday, ?
She let out a small groan before turning on to her back â or so she thought. Her eyes flew open before she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes â or tried to. She groggily looked up at her hand and let out a gasp when she found it fixated to the bedpost. She whipped her head around and found the other fastened likewise, letting out a tiny whimper.
She clenched her fists, giving the restraints another tug but to no avail. She lifted her head slightly, looking around, and let out another whimper when she noticed she was in Buckyâs bedroom yet again. She shivered when she heard his voice, coming from behind her.
âSo, youâre finally awake. Took you long enough, darling.â she gasped when she felt his fingers slide through her folds and into her wet cunt. It felt different than the last time he did it, though. Like something was in the way. It felt good, though.
âYou know, itâs actually quite impressive how the human body reacts to arousing touch. Iâve been toying with your clit for more than an hour, drawing a few orgasms from you and youâre still just as responsive⌠So, I wanted to try something new.â
She gasped when she felt his fingers swirl themselves inside her and then against the back of her tight cunt. Her eyes widened as her mind suddenly cleared itself enough for her to feel the expansion of her tight ring of muscle. She struggled to move her legs, giving up when she realized they were tied to the foot of the bed, spread wide.
âFor someone who was a virgin in both holes just yesterday, I have to say Iâm impressed. Itâs like your pussy was made for my cock⌠I canât wait to fuck this tight ass of yours⌠To see if itâs just as good as your cunt.â
Her eyes widened as she felt his hand leave the warmth of her pussy, swirling around the gem of the butt plug seated snugly within her tight rim. She gasped loudly when she felt Bucky slowly retracting the plug, not letting the widest part pass the rim before pushing the plug back in. She let out a wanton moan as it fell back into place.
âIâm gonna fuck your pussy while this plug is filling you up, and then Iâm gonna fuck your tight assâŚâ She heard Bucky slide down the mattress before his lips found her soaking cunt, emitting a loud moan from her. Her mind was still hazy from her slumber, she struggled with finding the words for a few moments. âYeah, you like that?â
âBuckyâŚâ she whimpered weakly as a surge of pleasure shot through her veins. âPlease donât, BuckâŚâ She had trouble focusing on anything, she wasnât sure where Buckyâs lips lingered anymore. She registered the rip of a foil packet, and just after, she felt the thickness of Buckyâs cock filling her slick pussy to the limit.
âFuck, thatâs a good girlâŚâ Bucky moans loudly as he bottoms out, the pressure from the plug in her ass straining against his cock. He leans down and peppers a string of kisses on her cheek, admiring her as her mouth hung open, short puffs of breaths pushing their way past her plump lips.
Her eyes are shut tightly, her eyebrows drawing a thin line between pleasure and pain. As of that moment, he canât tell which is which. Tears are slowly framing her eyes, though still not giving the emotion away.
âOh my god,â she breathes, and Bucky bites his lips to restrain himself, but the intoxicating way her pussy grasps his cock tightly, the sweet pink gem resting just above his cock has his mind spiraling into pleasure. He grabs her hips and thrusts into her harshly, pushing the tears out of her eyes and the cries out of her mouth with every thrust.
His hips slam against hers within a few thrusts, and itâs making her see stars. His cock is grazing her most sensitive places with every thrust, and everything seems to blacken before her eyes as hot floods shoot through her veins, her orgasm so intense her whole body is shaking.
She herself doesnât know whether it was in pleasure or in pain either, but it was definitely something in between. She had never felt a feeling so indescribably enormous; she had never felt so full. She whimpered when Bucky pulled himself out of her, eyes widening as she came back to herself, feeling the plug being retracted slowly.
âI canât hold back darling, fuck you make it so hardâŚâ she gasped when the plug slid out easily, whimpering as she felt liquid smear against her fluttering, sensitive ring of muscle, the coolness slithering down between her sensitive lips, staining the mattress below her.
She bites her lip harshly as she feels the tip of Buckyâs cock prod against her tightening rim. It was a whole other feeling than the plug. Where the plug was cold and somewhat hard, Buckyâs cock was warm, wide and rigid. She clenches her jaw as his cock breaches her, the sting unlike anything she had ever felt before.
âCome on baby, let me hear youâŚâ Bucky gritted through his teeth, just beside her ear. She clenches her jaw even tighter, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of letting him hear the effect he had on her. The breaths she sucked in through her nose were uneven and ragged, the pain caused by his cock almost unbearable.
âFucking relax, baby⌠Youâre just making it harder for yourselfâŚâ She didnât know how deep he was inside of her and she didnât wanna know either. She had never felt dirtier than she did in this exact moment, and she shut her eyes tightly, wishing herself invisible. She felt his hands grasp a butt cheek each, before spreading them apart, thrusting his hips, slowly entering her deeper.
âThatâs it babyâŚâ she whined as she felt his hips still against hers, his pelvis resting snugly between her spread cheeks. His mouth found her ear and she whimpered as the next words that left his lips sunk in. âSuch a good slut for me, taking all of my cock in her tight assâŚâ
His hand moved around her hip, squeezing itself between her body and the mattress, sliding down in between her legs where her soaking pussy had been abandoned. His fingers swirled around the bundle of nerves, the small jolts of his thrusts mixing with the pleasure from his fingers pushing her over the edge.
She let out a scream as she came around his cock, her ass gripping him tighter than he had ever felt before in his life. Out of all the women he had ever fucked, she was by far the tightest he had ever experienced. Her whole body shook beneath him, hands tightly fisting the bedsheets as her ass strangled his cock, begging for him to release his seed within.
Buckyâs cock felt so massive as she tried to come down from her startling high, the jolts of her body seemingly calming down slightly. âBucky please⌠Youâre too big, I canâtâŚâ she cried out as her oversensitivity took over, trying to push the foreign intrusion out. His movements stung against her sore ring of muscle, making her wail further.
Bucky ignored her pleas and pushed his hips tighter against hers before retracting himself halfway, pushing in again. He groaned into her ear as he fucked her ass, showing her no mercy as he searched for his own release. He cursed out as he found the angle unable to grant him what he so desperately longed for.
He untied her right leg first, followed by the left before bringing her knees under her body, to fuck her in his favorite position. She whined as he pulled out of her ass completely, before leaning down to lick a firm stripe through her folds. She didnât know how he managed to make her feel as dirty as he did, but it was amplified even further when he spat at her ass.
He cursed behind her at the sight of her, and shortly after she felt another wet dollop of lube slither between her cheeks. He easily slid his cock back into her ass, sighing out as her warmth once again engulfed his cock completely. He was never, ever going to let her go. Not when she could make him feel like this by just fucking her.
His release came just as quickly as she had hoped. Within three more strokes, he buried himself to the hilt, bit her earlobe harshly and spilled himself into the condom. She felt the pulsing of the convulsions in his cock more prominently in her ass, and she distracted herself from the pain by counting every spurt of his cum that landed within the latex with every jerk of his cock.
âGood girl.â He whispered as he gripped around his cock, securing the condom before pulling out of her, slowly. She whimpered as he left her body, and he groaned at the sight of her ring of muscle fluttering and contracting around nothing.
Bucky slid off the bed after pulling the condom off, tying the end and left for the bathroom. She felt a tear escape her eye as she pushed her legs back to lie flat before lifting her head, turning it to look in the direction of the bathroom. Bucky emerged with a damp towel, in all his naked glory, walking over to her with a victorious smirk.
âYou did so good my darling⌠Such a good obedient girl for her daddy.â He talked sweet nonsense as he cleaned between her legs. She hissed as the damp cloth came in contact with her swollen ass, and again when he swiped it between her folds, gathering her slick. âHave you changed your mind yet, darling? Or do I need to teach you another lesson?â
She looked up at him with wide eyes, sucking her lip in between her teeth. âChanged my mind about what?â
She felt a hard slap on her butt. âDonât play dumb, baby. Itâs not a good look on you. You know exactly what Iâm talking about.â She whimpers as his hand grazes along the angry, red protrusion of the skin where his hand had landed.
âPlease, I want to go home Bucky.â She whimpered, closing her eyes as she felt the tears flow freely from her eyes. She felt another harsh slap against har already sensitive skin, then another.
âWrong answer.â
âBucky you canât keep me locked up here forever!â She cried out, tugging on the restraints again, with what little power she had left after what he had just put her through, and the grogginess from the drugs, still in her system. Bucky leaned all the way into her ear, whispering out yet another sinister thing, that made her whole body crumble in fear.
âIf thatâs what it takes.â
He left her then, only pulling the sheet over her ass to cover her private parts. She didnât know how long she spent in his bed, tied up like some animal. She could hear him somewhere in the house, humming along to some tune playing on the radio, which she couldnât make out.
She was getting cold, falling asleep sporadically along with goosebumps rising on her skin as silent tears slid down her cheeks into the pillow. She felt exposed and used. Used by a man she trusted with her life. This wasnât how it was supposed to go. She imagined that she couldâve been wrapped up in her comforter at home, watching some boring Netflix series instead of laying tied up here.
She felt scared. Even more scared than sheâd felt just after Bucky had violated her for the first time. Sheâd never felt so helpless before, and it made her even more scared of what Bucky would do to her if he got the chance. It was getting dark out, and she knew that it would either improve or deteriorate her chances of escaping. She didnât know where to escape to, though.
She knew she had to get out of his house as soon as possible. She knew she had to get in contact with her parents somehow, despite the fact that she didnât want to anymore. She didnât know where her phone had ended up in all of this mess, but she knew Bucky usually slept with his by the bed. Either she could wait for that opportunity, or she could try to escape.
She wiggled her toes slightly, trying to get some of the blood down there again. She twisted her knees slightly, trying to pull them up under her again. She thanked the heavens that she was flexible when she managed to pull her right knee up under her, followed by the other.
She slowly rose to her knees, sitting back on her ass. She looked towards the door, cracked open slightly. The faint smell of something cooking filled her nostrils and she heard her stomach rumbling. She had no recollection of when she last had something to eat.
It was this morning, that much she knew. But she didnât know what time it was by now. How long sheâd been out, how long heâd been in the bedroom with her, how long sheâd been laying there alone.
She took in the expert knots that had her hands tied to the headboard, reminding her that her dad and Bucky had served in the military together, and that they both had some knowledge about rope and knots. Theyâd even taught her some, so she could easily make out which one heâd tied her up with.
The double constrictor knot tied twice on both her wrists made her eyes fill with tears yet again. There was no way she would be able to pull the knots open with her teeth. Yet she found herself trying. And⌠on top of that, she really needed to pee.
She examined the knot before slowly making out the placement of the ends and where they were cut off. She reached forward and trapped one loop in between her teeth, pulling slightly. She sighed happily when she felt it give in, and she pulled one end through easily. Way too easily.
She repeated the action one more time, pulling the end over and through on the other side, one knot coming completely undone. She nodded at herself when the first rope fell to the pillow under her, making everything seem a little bit easier.
Three more to go.
She prayed that Bucky didnât make an appearance, otherwise sheâd be fucked. She leaned forward and examined the next knot on the same wrist, leaning forward when she located the end of it.
She winced when the ropes on the wrist she wasnât working on tugged the rash on her skin even deeper. She needed to get out of there, and she needed to get out of there now. Panic settled in her stomach when she heard footsteps from somewhere in the house, tears spilling out of her eyes yet again.
âCome on, come onâŚâ the knot finally gave in and she breathed out in relief, grinning slightly when her fingers started loosening the knots on her other wrist. She was so close to freeing her wrist, so close to relief from emptying her bladder⌠So close to escaping from Bucky.
âBabyâŚâ She instantly freezes when she hears his voice from the door. âWhat are you doing?â She lets out a breath, feeling the tears re-wetting the paths on her cheeks that had dried earlier. Her cheeks redden, embarrassed that heâs caught her.
âBucky, IâŚâ she starts, turning her head slowly to look at him. Heâs standing in the doorway with a tray of food for her, for them. How had she not noticed the amazing smell filling the room much earlier? How long had he even been standing there? She was so caught up in escaping she hadnât even heard him.
Sheâs not sure whether the words that leave her mouth are just plain stupid or smart. Either way, his eyes soften just a bit when she speaks. âI just really have to pee.â She watches as he puts down the tray on his bedside table before he leans forward, loosening the remaining knots.
âWhy didnât you just call for me, baby? I wouldâve come and helped you so you wouldnât tear your lips like that.â His thumb grazes her lip, making her wince slightly. She hadnât noticed the skin being mangled from the roughness of the rope. âJesus baby, you look awful.â
She winces again when his fingers glide over her cheekbone, before they help her loosen the last knots around her wrists. She slides off the bed with a whimpering thank you, her legs slightly unstable as she staggers her way to the bathroom. She shuts the door softly before finally getting the relief sheâs been craving.
Once finished, she tries for the small window in the bathroom. She knows she isnât going to fit through, but sheâs trying anyway. The window doesnât budge, even when all laches are off and clattering against the glass. She knows Bucky can hear her from the bedroom, but at this point she doesnât care.
âCome on. Dinner is ready.â His voice is just on the other side of the door, letting her know just how close he was. By the looks of it, there was no way she was ever going to be left alone again. Her foot slipped from her getting dizzy when she stepped on the bathmat to wash her hands, causing her to let out a yelp.
The door was yanked open just as she steadied herself against the marble countertop, catching Buckyâs eyes in the mirror when she looked up. Traces of nervousness swirled in his eyes, and she wondered why. âJesus, I thought you hurt yourself, baby.â
He watched her every move as she washed her hands, dried them off before throwing them around her body, shielding her still naked body from him. He observed the way goosebumps littered her arms and legs, making his heart clench in his chest. He swiftly manhandled her into a t-shirt, before handing her a pair of panties.
He watched as she slid them on weakly, before grabbing her hand and leading her back to the bed. âCome on,â he spoke softly, as he sat her down and placed the tray in front of her, urging her to eat by bringing a forkful of food to her lips. âYou need your strength.â She squeezed her lips together, not fully trusting him with her food since the incident this morning.
âDonât worry.â He grabbed her hand, his thumb sliding over the soft skin, âItâs just food this time. No drugs.â She looked up at him doe-eyed, desperately trying to just have him leave her. She purses her lips again. âI trust you, baby.â
âIâm not hungry.â She whispered out, pulling her hand from his gently before scooting back just a bit on the bed, to get further away from him. Her stomach grumbled in that moment, letting him know how much of a lie that was. She was starving.
He grabs her jaw, forcing her lips apart before shoving the food in between them. âYou eat when I tell you to eat.â Heâs somewhat grumpy, itâs easy to see. Thereâs a glint remorse in his eyes, but she doesnât believe that he regrets anything heâs put her through. She chews languidly, all while her eyes are trained on her hands in her lap.
âAm I going to have to force feed you, or will you eat on your own accord? Because I donât care what you choose.â She looks up at him and watches as he scoops another dollop of food onto the fork, bringing it to her lips. She carefully swallows the food already in her mouth before opening up for him to feed her. âGood girl.â
It continues like that, with Bucky taking a few bites in between feeding her. It makes her calm to see him eat from the same portion of food as her, letting her know that he was telling the truth when he made her eat the first bite. No drugs.
He brings the straw resting in a glass of water to her lips after setting the plate back on the tray. She eyes his hands, inspecting the glass intensely. He sighs and rolls his eyes yet understanding her actions. He knows sheâs afraid of him, he knows she doesnât trust her right now.
He brings the straw to his own lips and sucks the cold fluid into his mouth before swallowing, letting her know that the water was safe to ingest as well. She exhales slowly before taking the glass from him, emptying it in one go. She was truly thirsty.
âWhat time is it?â she tries softly, afraid that Bucky thought she didnât need to know, since he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sheâs looking for any sign indicating that heâs carrying his phone. He eyes her for a while, his eyes squinting for just a moment. She looked breathtaking as she sat there, fiddling her fingers.
âWhy do you want to know?â She knew it. Heâs still watching her, trying to look through her, into her head to figure out what sheâs thinking. She tries her best to appear unfazed, just wanting him to tell her the goddamn time.
She feels lost in a whole new way, with the conception of time stripped from her as well. It makes her uneasy on a whole other level. âI just⌠Wanna know if itâs time for dessert.â She whispers, still afraid to say much. She waits for his reaction anxiously, another wave of uneasiness overcoming her.
Bucky laughs. He actually laughs at her. She furrows her brows as she watches his shoulders shake with every puff of laughter. âYou donât need to know the timeâŚâ he has a hard time getting the words out through his laughter, yet he speaks again shortly after.  âDesserts,â he smiles as he turns his head toward her, eyes taking in her serious expression. He smiles warmly at her. âWhat do you want for dessert?â
âYou tell me the time; I tell you what I want for dessert.â He raises his eyebrow at her demand, not really expecting it. She doesnât know where the surge of confidence came from. She just wanted to know the damn time. Somewhere deep within her, sheâs still wondering if he is going to let her go the following day.
âFeisty now, arenât you?â He jokingly says, well knowing she was, still is, afraid of him. He bites the inside of his cheek, contemplating her offer before he slowly draws out his phone before showing her the time. 9:21pm. So, she had been tied up in his bedroom the whole day. She watched as he pushed it back into his pocket, away from her prying eyes.
âSo, darling⌠You wanted dessert?â he turns back to her and she has shuffled closer to him in the midst of his lack of attention. Her hand reaches out to caress his cheek, startling him. She smiles softly, she doesnât even know why.
In one way, she wanted to get out of his house as soon as humanly possible but⌠She found herself not wanting to. Her thoughts were conflicting within her head, confusing her even more than previously. Maybe she just had to play pretend for now, and he would let her go tomorrow?
She found herself slowly losing herself within her thoughts. She had so many conflicting ones, her mind in a flurry about which ones to focus on. Everything came to her while admiring him through her lashes. Every emotion sheâs ever felt for him, every memory she had with him. âYeah. I want you.â
Without words she rises, initiating the contact between them herself. She didnât know how or why, but she found herself reaching out for his hand. It felt a little alien, but good, nonetheless. It was clear to her that he was taken aback by her actions. She silently straddles his thighs, her ass resting on his knees as she pushes him back to lay against the bed. âI want to do this on my own.â she starts while pulling the shirt over her head.
âYou took the choice from me yesterday, and I donât think thatâs fair. Do you?â the sudden surge of confidence in her takes him aback, and heâs laying motionlessly against the mattress, just watching her undress herself on top of him.
He watches as her hands slide over her breasts and down her stomach, teasing him slightly as she snaps the elastic band of her panties against the skin on her hip. She feels him harden underneath her within second of the fabric leaving her torso, and she revels in it.
She was deeply in love with Bucky Barnes. No matter how he wronged her, abused her, used her - she loves him. Maybe she was delusional but having him underneath her set her nerves on fire. She had finally gotten what she wanted.
There was nothing standing in the way of her and Buckyâs relationship anymore. She wasnât afraid anymore. She was going to give into him, and she was going to enjoy it.
All it had taken, was one small flaw in Buckyâs plan. Heâd let it slip, and he wasnât even aware of it.
Saturday, 03:22am
Opening the messages app on his phone, she quickly searches through the different messages before opening the one with her dad. She knew exactly who she had to call for help. Yet she found something that made her blood turn to ice in her veins. Or, it felt like that, at least.
She couldnât believe what she was seeing. Slowly, the tears started burning in her eyes, making her vision blurry. The light from his phone blinded her slightly, and she found herself wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, a sob getting stuck in her throat. She just couldnât believe it.
Right there, on his phone, was a conversation between him and her dad. Her own dad. Her stomach turned as she read through the messages, chest heaving as she tried to calm her erratic breaths.
Steve: You got her calmed yet?
Bucky: No, still squirming and crying. Hoping that sheâll calm down soon.
Bucky: Jesus, she got some lungs on her. I canât wait to do everything Iâve planned to do to her tomorrow.
Steve: Good. Ruin her. Make sure she doesnât get away. We need that money.
Bucky: If not, Iâll do whatâs necessary. Even though I really donât want to. You know how I feel about her.
Steve: I couldnât care less. She isnât mine anyways.
Her brows furrowed as she read one of the last messages over and over again. What the hell did he mean that I wasnât his? She felt a strong hand clasp around the wrist of her hand that held the phone in it, forcing a small scream past her lips. She hadnât even heard Bucky wake up.
âWhat are you doing?â His eyes were dark and hooded. They were also full of sleep, and she knew he was happy she was still in bed next to him, else she wouldâve fallen off the bed. She looked at him through the blue light of the phone, trying to come up with a quick lie to throw him off in his sleepy haze.
âI was just looking at the time.â she tried carefully, the flow of tears drying out slowly. She was shocked, to say the least, but she wouldnât let him know that she knew... âI usually wake up at night and I always try to track my sleeping patternâŚâ she had no idea what to say.
She couldnât believe what she had just read. What did her dad mean? She isnât mine anyways⌠The message kept resonating in her head. He huffed and grabbed the phone, turning away from her and resuming his slumber.
Saturday, 9:23pm
She crawled off his lap, standing over him as she undid his pants with quick movements. He lifted his hips to aid her in taking them off, his mind still trying to catch up to what was happening. His boxers followed soon after, his naked glory exposed to her yet again, only this time it was different.
Her hand grasps his cock, giving it a few tugs before sheâs closing her lips around the head. He stutters out a moan intertwined with her name, his hands flying into her hair to ground himself. Where the sudden urge to have her lips around his cock was fulfilled, he still didnât know what she was doing.
All he knew was that it felt heavenly. Her mouth was warm and inviting, her cheeks feeling warm and velvety as she hollowed them against his length. She sucked more than half of his cock into her mouth, causing a deep groan to spill from his lips.
Her hand wrapped around what she couldnât fit in her mouth, and she slowly stroked his shaft while swirling her tongue around the enlarged head of his cock. She felt his hand tighten in her hair, a string of groans falling from his lips.
The hand that wasnât wrapped around him pushed the panties off her hips languidly and she slowly rose to her feet, still bent over with her lips around his cock. She releases him with a pop, fluttering kisses along his toned abdomen and up his chest before she straddles his hips, gliding the wetness between her legs over the length of him.
His hands find her hips, both his thumbs rubbing circles into her hips, his head thrown back in pleasure. This pleasure is so different than itâs been previously, itâs so full of emotion for him and possibly also from her. It feels tremendously different from all the other times. His head shifts forward and admires her with hooded eyes before they flutter closed.
When she finally sinks down onto his cock with a strained expression, he feels everything shift within him. Itâs like the whole orbit of the world changes. Sheâs struggling with his size, whimpering as she slowly sinks further down onto him. She falls forward, her hands landing just beside his face and he groans out, his eyes slowly reopening to look at her on top of him.
Her cheeks are flushed pink, her eyes prickling with tears and her bottom lip tugged in between her teeth, desperately trying to accommodate to his size. Sheâs shifting just a little bit, trying to ease the pain between her hips.
Her hand slid under his neck and grasped the short hairs there, closely followed by her lips meeting his. Her hips grinds over his, their lips gliding over each otherâs messily, their tongues dancing together. Her soft pants mixed with his, his hands sliding up to rest on her lower back, guiding her gently.
âOh, BuckyâŚâ she whispers, and he isnât sure whether or not heâs dreaming. It feels surreal that sheâs moaning his name,it makes him twitch inside of her to finally hear his name spill from her lips that way. Hearing her moan his name combined with the tightness of her heat pushes him further and further towards his impending orgasm.
Her walls clench around him and she whimpers ever so sweetly. He knows sheâs close. She just needs the final push. Sheâs still grinding her hips against his, so he angles them slightly for her clit to rub over his pelvic bone.
It doesnât take more than a few strokes for her orgasm to overtake her, blinding her vision with black spots and making every hair on her body rise. It feels amazing this time around - with herself being in charge of her pleasure.
Heâs close - so close - but if thereâs one thing he doesnât want to do right now, itâs to do something she doesnât want to, however ambivalent that sounds. He restrains himself or tries to. Her hips are still drawing circles over his, and itâs driving him crazy.
âCum in me,â she whispers in her haze, and she feels his hands tighten on her hips, his pants filling her ears as he empties his load inside of her. She feels at it trickles down around his length still embedded in her heat as she collapses on top of him, laying her head on his chest.
She slowly comes down from euphoria, relaxing into his arms coming around her to rub over her back. Everything slowly comes back to her, settling within her body. The lovestruck haze she has been in for the past half hour, is slowly coming to an end.
She slowly removes herself from on top of him, his seed trailing down her legs as she makes her way to the bathroom to clean herself. He finds her under the shower, quietly entering the stall behind her. Sheâs caught up in her thoughts, just standing under the stream of water with her arms wrapped around herself.
âI know what you saw last night. I didnât want you to find out the way you did. We were supposed to be happy together. Live happily, and you would forget everything about everyone. Just you and me, here.â His body was barely against her back before he was pulling her trembling body back into his arms. She hadnât even realized she was shaking until then.
âYou didnât want me to find out what, exactly?â She tried softly, jaw trembling uncomfortably at the other things he had said. âHow are we ever to live happily?â She didnât know what Bucky expected of her. There was just something she couldnât imagine. She turned in his arms, looking up at him.
âYouâre going to have to promise me that you wonât react poorly to what Iâm about to tell you.â Bucky tried carefully, and she felt everything fall apart in the seconds following the words leaving his mouth. How could she not react to anything? âI shouldnât be the one telling you this, butâŚâ
Tell her what?! Just two days prior sheâd been living contently with her parents, and here, a mere 46 hours later⌠Everything had changed. She watched his face as he searched for the words, his thoughts conflicting visibly in his face.
âSteve⌠He isnât your father.â Bucky started, and she felt her heart fall further into her chest. That hurt. âYour mother had someone else around the time you were conceived. Steve has taken a paternity test, and itâs true.â She felt the tears rise to her eyes yet again mixing with the water from the shower, both from the betrayal of Bucky but also from her parents.
âThis has all been set up so Steve can claim you as dead. To get money from the insurance company.â He hides his face with his hand, visibly upset that everything has fallen apart. Everything has certainly not worked out the way it was supposed to. âBut Iâve changed my mind. I canât do this to you.â
âBut youâve already done it...â She whispered, before taking his hand in hers. âWhat changed?â She cradled his face in her other hand, watching him intently as he rubs his hand over his face. It leaves red marks in its wake, letting her know just how hard heâs rubbing the skin.
âWe need to make sure he doesnât get that moneyâ Bucky grabs her face with his hands in an instant, his eyes searching hers intensely. He thinks over her question, licking his lips before he answers.
âNothing changed. Even though I wanted this to start with, I never even considered getting rid of you. I want you to know that Iâve never looked at you wrongly before you were legal. I couldnât bring myself to it, even though I knew you werenât Steveâs. I never ever wanted to hurt you. Because I love you.â
She sighs and for a short while closes her eyes. A few seconds pass where heâs just watching her.
Then one side of her lips tug up into a smirk, before sheâs looking at him with a mischievous look in her eyes. They both know what they have to do.
Then she speaks, instantly letting him know that everything is settled between the two of them.
âI love you. Letâs do it.â

Namjoon reactionâcalling him a âfriendâ when he clearly has a thing for you
âgenre: smut, a bit of fluff
âcollage au
(This was originally supposed to be a quick reaction but something happened to me and I couldnât stop writing)
âLook, Jisoo, Iâd agree with you, but then weâd both be wrongâ you flash a cheeky smile at your best friend. Sheâs being going on and on about how this Kim Namjoon guy had a thing for you.
You canât lie, youâve seen him around in campus and sometimes youâd wish he would suffocate you with these thighs of his. Ugh. The perfect combo, lean yet masculine physique with a brain that actually functions for a change. Youâve seen the way these collage girls were circling him around and you canât blame them, the guy was a catch.
But he was not your crowd of people. He was outgoing, social and had loads of what you like to call âthe lad friendsâ. You guessed his main activities were partying and getting shitfaced every night.
Youâve talked to him a couple of times. He uses the same bench as you to read now and then. You would eventually take sneak peeks at the books he was reading, check if he had any taste or not, and the result was always better than what you expected. This guy knew books. He was not just reading what was on the best sellerâs that week to look sophisticated in front of others.
When he caught you peaking heâd started having small talk with you. You swear youâve never experienced a better conversation flow with another human being. This guy screamed comfort. He seemed genuinely curious about the things you were saying. None of that painful act of pretending to be interested just because he wanted to get laid. You had been talking with him for a month straight and aside from a few moments of some what flirty looks his actions never suggested something more.
His aura was welcoming and he always paid attention to the little things. Unlike some other shallow guys out there, he feltâŚdifferent.
But how different could he really be? Youâve seen the people he hangs out with. Kim Taehyung? He had a relationship with three girls at the same time. Didnât even apologize for being the biggest jerk in history. Youâve heard Jung Hoseokâs body count was reaching a 3 digit number AND Jeon Jungkook once fucked 4 different girls at the same night.
Just thinking about it makes you sick. It pains you to admit but thereâs only one truth to this. Even if Kim Namjoon was interesting, he was definitely a person you needed to stay away from. All the data point to a big fuckboy alert!
âCome on y/nâŚ. If he wasnât even in the slightest interested in you then why did he tell me explicitly that he wanted you to attend the party??â
âAn invitation to a party doesnât mean anything. Besides, Iâm sure Iâm not his style. Have you seen the type of girls he hangs out with? Yikes.â
Jisoo smirked at you ���Oh, I see youâre stalking him now?â
You shake your head âDonât be ridiculous! We take Econ together, thatâs all. What? Am I supposed to cover my eyes every time I see him?â
âMaybe you shouldâ Jisoo came closer to you âY/n, weâre going to that partyâ
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
âThis is a big mistake, Iâll get bored within the hourâ You scream at Jisoo over the loud music.
âDonât be a whiney ass and enjoy yourself for onceâ she handed you a drink.
Enjoy yourself for once. You and Jisooâs definition of enjoying one self were clearly very different. You scan the room to look for any familiar faces you could talk to. Unfortunately, not a lot of your acquaintances attended frat parties.
Your head motion immediately pauses when you meet eyes with Namjoon across the garden. Was he looking at you this whole time? You feel your cheeks burn.
Initially, you donât know how to react but eventually you flash him a small smile and focus back on Jisoo
âKim Namjoon just gave me the biggest stare of all timeâ you say as you down your drink
âWhat!?â Jisooâs eyes widened âThis is the time where I say I told you so.â
You think for a second that maybe Jisoo was right all along. But that just makes the whole thing more dangerous for you. You canât lie, Namjoon is attractive, but you knew he was trouble. Maybe he liked you today and then liked another girl tomorrow.
Suddenly, you feel a hand touch your shoulder âHey y/n, Jisoo. Glad you guys made itâ Namjoonâs low voice pierced your ears.
Jisoo gave you a look before replying to him âHey!! We couldnât miss such a night!â She smiled âright y/n??â
âYeah!! Totallyâ you cheer kind of awkwardly.
Namjoonâs eyes fixed on you. You felt his stare eat you up. His whole presence felt angelic yet overwhelming. âDo you guys maybe want to join us? Weâre sitting right by the poolâ
âOh! Sure, why not!â Jisoo answered almost immediately
You were walking towards the pool, Namjoon was pacing right next to you, he was so close to the point where you could sort of smell his cologne. You swear you could get drunk off his scent.
âI have to be honest, I didnât think youâd actually comeâ He chuckled
âAre you disappointed?â You teased and raised an eyebrow.
You see a dimple smile making its appearance, how can this dude be so incredibly hot and cute at the same time? âI think pleasantly surprised would be the right way to put itâ
Why do you feel like you can not breath? He hasnât said much, yet you feel yourself burn up all of a sudden. âGood to knowâ you smile back.
âJoon! You have to see thisâ was the first thing Taehyung yelled when you arrived to the place where the guys were sitting â12 oâclock, Hobi making out with Mina from 3rd year. Can you believe it? After two years of trying to get it, he finally succeedsâ
Of course the main talk is girls. No surprise there.
âJungkook bitch, you owe me 20 bucksâ Taehyung eyed Jungkook
Your expression screamed disgust. Apparently, Namjoon noticed âThey are not as bad as they seemâ he elbowed you.
You give him and awkward laugh âIâll take your word for itâ You lie.
âGuys, this is Jisoo and y/n. Can you stop trying to head lock each other and say hello? Youâre embarrassing meâ Namjoon introduced the pair of you to the boys who were still arguing about the bet. ďżź
âOh, hey girls.â Taehyung paused to inspect Jisooâs face. âHey, business and shipping? Ainât it?â
âOh, yeah, right!â Jisoo smiled
âHyung arenât you taking that class for like the third time? How many times can you fail you recon?â Jungkook teased him and Taehyung answered by giving him a slap on the shoulder.
âHey y/n, do you want to go grab a drink? I think youâll need it if you are to tolerate these guysâ Namjoon offered.
âI trust you know bestâ you smile and quickly follow behind him. His shoulders wide and his muscles very visible even through his airy shirt. This guy was a whole statue.
âBy the way, Iâve never seen you at parties before. I think I saw you once at the December ball but thatâs about it. Not really a big fan of these kind of things, are you?â He suddenly said. You canât really decode his words. How did Kim Namjoon know you even went to the December ball? Youâre pretty sure you didnât even talk to him that night.
âInterested in me much?â You give him a cheeky smile but he was just looking at you, a couple of seconds passed without him responding âIâm only joking! Itâs true I donât really attend these sort sort of things.â
âAnd what do you do for fun miss y/n?â He laughs and you swear if you could bottle the sound and get drunk on it you would.
âOh youâll think Iâm lameâ
âTry meâ he said in a serious tone while starring right through your eyes. Suddenly, your body felt too heavy for your legs to bear. How can he get to you like that?
âOkayâŚâ You start, him looking at you like that didnât help control your train of thought, but you manage to get a hold of yourself âSo you know that little corner cafe on willow street? Every Friday they have these comedy music nights. A guy-â
âPark Jihoon and the little funny guitar, yeah! I used to go there every Friday during my freshman years! Do they still do that old thing? I swear the pun with the atom never failed to make my day.â He started laughing again.
âWhoah what? Youâre telling me youâve been to the shrieking shack?â That place was a little treasure youâd found earlier this year. It was an amazingly cozy place, perfect during the cold winter time. The staff were all so kind and wore these big oversized colorful ties. But the people going there were all much older than you. Youâve never heard someone your age talk about that place. Let alone a person like Namjoon.
âCareful how you talk to a veteran y/n. Iâve basically helped to build the placeâ he chuckled.
âY/n is that you?â A familiar voice greeted you.
âJimin! Oh my god, hey! Itâs been ages since Iâve seen you!â You hug him.
Jimin was a great soul, he majored in contemporary dance and ballet. He had been traveling for the past couple of years enrolling in some extra ballet classes in the magical city of Paris. You envied him for his talent and admired him for his passion.
âGirl, you have to come visit me. Youâll love Europe!â
âI would also LOVE to have some money in my walletâ you laugh âOh Jimin, this is my friend, Namjoon. We go to collage togetherâ
Namjoon gave you a look and soon after shook Jiminâs hand âWhatâs up. Nice to meet youâ
âNice to meet you too! But y/n, Iâm so so sorry, I have to go. I was actually on my way out just now. I sort of uhm, have a thing-you knowâ he coughed âIâm leaving in two weeks, can we please meet before that?â
You knew Jimin was probably off to his ex boyfriends house. They broke up before Jimin left for Paris but every time he got back heâd have a couple of hookups with him. âOh yeah! I bet youâve got something very important right now, you better go quicklyâ you teased him âIâll text you tomorrow, ok?â
Jimin laughed so much his eyes were barely visible âdefinitely! text me! Iâll be off then! Bye mister Kim Namjoonâ he playfully said and was out of your sight a second later.
âYou two seemâŚcloseâ Namjoon suddenly commented
âYeah! We were! But he has been studying abroad for like two years now.â
Namjoonâs facial expression was quite enigmatic âDid you guys ever⌠you knowâ
âOh no no no.â You pause to make a small chuckle âJimin isnât exactly interested in, well, girls like me, or to be exact, girls in generalâ
Namjoonâs eyes widened and he immediately bursted into laughter âoh⌠I seeâ he made a pause âSo tell me then, how come the old soul that never goes to parties finally attends one?â
You feel your cheeks burn red. Partly because the reason you went was him. You donât know why, but the past month you and Namjoon hit it off very well and you wanted to test Jisooâs crazy theory, you wanted to make sure for yourself if Namjoon was interested in you or not. Now the problem was, even if it turned out he did like you, you didnât know what youâd do exactly. Namjoon was a really nice guy, but he didnât come without his red flags.
âJust wanted to try something different, I guessâ
âAnd howâs that 'different' treating you so far?â
What could you possibly tell him? That you have enjoyed every minute you guys have been talking? That you think that just by staring at you he could make you feel things no other guy could? You barely can admit all of that to yourself. âI think pleasantly surprised is the right way to put itâ you repeat his words from before.
You see him smile at that. âYou know what y/n? Iâm really happy you cameâ
How can he make your heart beat so fast with just one sentence? âOh really? And why is that?â
âI donât know, I guess⌠I just like talking to you, you know? Whenever Iâm around you I feel at ease, like I can tell you anything. I feel different when Iâm with you, but in a good wayâ
âWowâ that sound escaped your lips without your consent
Namjoon laughed âWhy? Is it too weird?â
âNo! Definitely not weird, more like, I donât know, surprising?â
âIn what way?â
âWell youâre⌠Kim Namjoon, youâre the 2021 class president and youâre like the most popular guy in the whole campus right now.â You made a pause âAnd Iâm just..-â
âThe most interesting girl Iâve ever metâ he cuts you off
The way he was looking down at you made butterflies grow in your stomach âYou really think so?â
He gently grabbed your waist and pulled you closer to him âI know soâ he leaned down, you swear his eyes had the whole galaxy painted inside of them. You couldnât even breath properly at this point. Kim Namjoon was too close and the only thing you were thinking about was how well his kiss would feel âGod, youâre so beautifulâ he said and pulled you in for a soft, gentle kiss.
You couldnât believe your senses. Kim Namjoon was kissing you and you really thought the earth had stopped spinning right then and there. You could feel his big palms traveling up and down your back.
His kiss was breathless, jubilant, filled with the joy of life, and you should stop him, he is no good to you, you know that, but his scent is delightful and his lips are so warm.
Unconsciously, your hands reach the inside of his shirt. His skin hot and soft at the touch.
"y/n" he practically moans your name, and just the sound makes your knees go week "Don't do that, I don't think I'll be able to stop"
"Who said anything about stopping?" You say and go back to kiss him even more passionately this time.
âThereâs a lot of people here, my room is upstairs, would you perhaps want to-â
âYes.â You immediately say. You donât care about anything anymore, youâd let your future self deal with the consequences of todayâs actions. The only thing that has been lingering in your mind is how good heâd feel inside of you.
The moment youâre finally alone in his room, he lifts you up, swinging you around and kissing you. It was like a dream. Namjoon was everything you wanted. Your reluctance about getting with him didnât matter any more, the tingly feeling in your stomach overtook every single bit of hesitation you had. You needed him.
âGod, youâre lovelyâ he exhaled
He looks at you as he sinks you down on the bed. Planting a soft kiss before his hands quickly begun to peel away clothes, yanking his belt loose, fumbling hurriedly at his trousers.
You look at his lips tracing your skin and the faint moisture left behind, you look at his muscly arms as he lifts you up and sinks you down again, you look at him looking at you, with eyes brighter than the sun itself. Was this all a dream?
When your dress was finally off he undoes your bra clasp on the way down. Slowly planting kisses on your collarbone, the tops of your breasts, your sternum, and you arched you back as you were needy for more.
His lips finally reach your nipples .Your boobs smooth under his hands, your nipple firm under his tongue, and there, that makes you squirm again, a little more insistently this time.
âFuck, Iâm so fucking wet right now, I feel itâ You moan
You see him raise an eyebrow. A vivid smirk painted on his face âLetâs check, shall we?â
He splays his hand low across your belly, and the first brush of his thumb over your clit makes you breathe in sharply and him forget to breathe at all.
âIâm your friend?â He breaths in, his voice dangerously low
âOh come onâ You manage to say in between moans âwhat was I supposed to tell Jimin?â
His strokes and flicks are light and teasing, his thumb carefully circling around your clit. He gives you a slow, constant, unyielding pressure that makes your breath come up short, makes your toes curl in the effort not to move.
âIâm gonna fuck the word âfriendâ right out of your pretty little mouthâ he covers your mouth with an intense kiss before slipping two fingers of his free hand inside of you, and you makes a noise like triumph and want all wrapped up together. If his fingers felt like this, you canât imagine how his dick felt like.
âHmm?â He doesnât look up, he keeps his eyes on his hands, on you, spread out beneath him âYou like that baby?â
God, just the way the word 'baby' sounded coming from his mouth could make you come right this second. You look at him, his eyes look as hungry as his voice sounded. This dude was out of this world.
âPlease Namjoon, I want it, I want you inside of me right nowâ
Namjoon lowered his underwear, and simply pressed his hard member on your slit. You could feel his balls softly caressing your clit as he made subtle movements while kissing you. âSuch a needy little thingâ he teases âTell me how bad you want my cock inside of youâ
âOh..â you moan âIâd do anything, pleaseâŚgive it to me⌠fuck me like you own meâ you whined as you used your pussy to caress his length up and down. He seemed to enjoy they way you touched him.
âFuck y/n⌠that feels so goodâ he rests his forehead on yours.
âImagine what my inside will feel thenâ you whisper in his ear âIâm such a tight good girlâ you move your mouth in front of his, bitting his bottom lip as he growled when he felt your movement grow faster
âFucking hellâ he immobilized your body with his hands and pressed you down to the bed. He immediately shoves his dick inside you, filing you up to the brim before staying there for a couple of seconds and then pulling out completely. That movement made your vagina crave to be filled all the way up again.
âMoreâ you whine, a dopey expression all over your face. You were so needy of him, but you didnât care.
He lowered his left hand towards your thigh and gave it a big squeeze, kissing you aggressively while doing so. He quickly braced himself back into you, you felt your walls completely wrap around his member. It felt magical.
His strokes long and steady in the beginning. Every time he went in and out completely you felt the pit of your stomach burn in pleasure. Namjoon was doing everything right, you canât lie to yourself, this is the best sex youâve ever had. Normally with other guys you donât even come close to coming, but now, you feel yourself trying not to do so.
âYou like my dick being inside of you baby?â He plants a small kiss on your neck and goosebumps run down your spine.
âLikeâ was nowhere near good enough of a word to explain how much the sensation of him thrusting his hard member in and out of you made you feel. âI love it Namjoon⌠I just love itâŚâ
Your words mustâve turned Namjoon even more on, because his pace immediately started becoming faster and sloppier. Every time your skin touched a loud sound could be heard. Namjoon was thrusting deeper and deeper into you, and every time heâd fill you up completely youâd cry out his name.
âAh, I like my name so much better when you fucking moan it like thatâ he says and started shoving his dick inside of you like crazy. You could tell he was close to coming, and so were you.
It wasnât long until you felt your walls clenching and your toes curling. The sensation overtook all of your body, it was mad⌠your heart beat uncontrollable. Namjoon made you feel a completely new range of emotions.
âAh y/n, I can feel you cumming all over my dickâ his voice cracky, You could see how turned on he was by all of this, by you. âFuckâ he shoved harder âYouâre soâ harder âfucking hotâ
Namjoon stopped and pulled out immediately spreading his cum all over your tummy. The sight was breathtaking, youâve never found a man so attractive while coming before, but then, Namjoon is no ordinary man.
He quickly grabs a couple of tissues and wipes you clean before laying on top of you again, placing another soft kiss this time. His hand playing with your hair. You were both naked and sweaty and a mess but it felt so magical. You wrapped your hands around his broad shoulders, pulling him even closer to you. You didnât want even a centimeter of distance between you and him.
He suddenly stopped kissing you and simply stared at your eyes. After a minute or two, or maybe three, you're not really sure, time didn't exist right now, he tacked a string of hair behind your left ear.
âY/n, let me take you on a date. Please. I know you donât normally go out with guys like me, but I swear Iâll make it worth your while-â
âPark Jihoon and the little funny guitar. How does that sound? Or are you too good for the shrieking shack now?â You chuckled
âIâd love thatâ he smiled, making your heart melt a little.

Jealousy
It was a quiet day at the Dimitrescu Castle. The girls were unusually calm going about their business in and out of the basement, keeping their messes down there for the most part. None of the staff was being chased down the corridors in fear of their life and even better; there were no crashing sounds of decorative pieces being broken. Only silence. You and Alcina settled in the library for the afternoon. It started off nice with the two of you lost in your own novels, but it wasnât long until the vampire grew bored and wanted cuddles. You were more than happy to oblige. It was one of those days that youâd call perfect. Alcina lounged on the couch with her head resting on your lap. Her eyes are closed and all she can focus on is your rhythmic breathing and the feeling of your fingers gently massaging her scalp. A perfect lazy afternoon. You almost thought she had fallen asleep until suddenly her eyes were open, glowing their beautiful gold. Alcina raised her head and sat upright, eyes glued her eyed to the main doors.
"Someone coming, Darling?" You ask in a low voice, reaching blindly behind you for the weapon concealed under the cushions.
She nods. "Sounds like a woman running out of breath. Perhaps a maiden managed to escape the basement." She leaned toward you like she was ready to shield you from whoever was making their way down the corridor. You could hear the footsteps now, they were coming closer and closer to you. Alcina was right, it was definitely a woman, the footsteps were much too delicate to be a man. Said vampiress was practically on top of you now, her arm supporting her weight on the opposite side of you, just in case you needed to be protected.
Whoever it is was just outside the door. You both braced yourselves as the door now twisted. Just as Alcina was about to pounce on the intruder, you both recognized her as one of the maids. False alarm. It was only Mihaela, a very dear friend of yours from the below village. You grew up together and considered yourselves sisters. When her father passed away Alcina welcomed the girl into the castle with open arms. The girls had been introduced to Mihaela on more than one occasion and knew not to harm her. You'd like to think they consider her more or less a friend.
"What are you doing here, dear," Alcina immediately relaxes back onto the couch. "It's your day off, is it not?"
The girl nodded, physically unable to get any words out.
"Good Lord, Mihaela, did you run all the way up the mountain?"
She nodded again. Alcina stood to fetch her a tall glass of water. Mihaela eagerly accepted. "Y/n!" she rasped. "You'll never guess who's in the village right now asking about you."
You share a sideways glance with Alcina, waiting for the girl to continue. Who could possibly be asking about me?
"E/n, your ex!"
If you were drinking something you would have choked. That was a name you hadn't thought about in years. To say you were not expecting that would be the understatement of the century. You don't know what to say. What can you say? What could they possibly want with you after all these years? Money? A place to stay? Work?
Sweet spawn of Satan Aclina would kill them.
She's still staring at Mihaela with an expressionless look on her face.
"What?" You hope you simply heard her wrong.
Mihaela nods vigorously. "I know! I couldn't believe it either. There I was, helping my little brother open up shop for the day and I see them walk by. At first, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, but the next thing I know they're inside the shop hugging me! I could barely get a word out I was so floored."
"I thought they left to tour Romania looking for their 'dream job?'"
"Didn't work out. I guess no one would keep her employment for long. They said they were too good for the jobs anyway, can you believe that?"
"Honestly? Yes. You remember how outlandish they were, guess they haven't changed too much."
Mihaela giggled. "It sure felt that way."
"So wait, how did my name get brought up?"
"They asked if you were still around- seemed pretty keen on seeing you again."
Alcina rolled her eyes. "Marvelous."
You take her gloved hand in yours and give it a reassuring squeeze. She eases up a little bit as you rub circles on top of her hand. "You said no, right?"
"Of course I did!"
"Then why do you look so nervous, Mihaela?" Alcina asked.
The girl stood like a statue, only moving to twiddle her thumbs. Silence fills the room as the matriarch waits patiently for the girl to speak. Her eyebrow arches as if she says "I'm waiting..."
Finally, Mihaela speaks. You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in.</p>
"As I was leaving I heard them asking others of your whereabouts. It's only a matter of time before they find out the truth."</p>
"Well that's just fantastic then, isn't it? Now we can't even go down to our own village without risking an encounter."</p>
Mihaela gave a sympathetic smile. "Don't worry, Lady Dimitrescu. They're not staying in our village, just passing through. I believe they said the village just east of us, on the other side of the forest."
Alcina hummed. "Best to stay away then, don't you agree, Love?"
You couldn't nod your head quick enough. "Of course. What do they want with me though? I haven't even thought about them in years."
Mihaela shrugged. "I guess they just wanna talk? Reconnect with all our old friends? I didn't ask; just said you weren't around anymore."
"Couldn't you have just told them I died or something? That would have solved everything! They wouldn't be going around using about me AND if they ask to visit my grave you just bring them to the coolest tree in the forest and say I'm buried under it. My body intertwined with its roots. You could've had so much fun with the dramatics!"
"Do you think they'd be stupid enough to come looking her y/n up here?" Alcina asks in an almost hopeful tone.
Mihaela rolls her eyes. "Well, I only came to warn you. You know how...persistent they can be. Now that I'm here, may I stay and pick up some work?"
"Of course you may, my dear. If it's the trek back down you want to avoid I can always call a carriage for you."
"That's very generous of you, my Lady, but really, I don't mind. I like to keep busy."
Alcina nodded, accepting the answer. "Very well, dear. My study could use another dusting once you've regained yourself."
As the doors close behind Mihaela, the matriarch relaxes and lies back down with her head on your lap."Well, that was interesting."
You immediately start running your fingers through her hair. "No kidding, What the hell do they want from me? I thought we agreed we'd never have to look at each other ever again, now they wanna talk?"
"I wouldn't know. You've never told me about this person."
"I was sparing you, trust me." Alcina still looked up at you, her eyes flurrying with emotion. "There isn't much to tell, Al. We were together a few years and couldn't make it work so we started hurting each other, sometimes just out of spite. Really, Al, it's nothing I ever felt compelled to bring up; especially to you." You can't hold back a giggle. "You know how jealous you can be."
"I do not get jealous."
"Al, not two weeks ago you almost slaughtered the village butcher cause you didn't like the way he looked at me."
She rolled her eyes. "That swine was looking you up and down like you were nothing more than a piece of meat."
A comfortable silence fills the library. You're both lost in your own worlds together. Alcina stares up blankly at you as you continue to read."It was a serious relationship then? If it lasted a few years then it must have been."
You try to hide behind your novel and Alcina tosses it to the ground. You can't look her in the eyes without blushing and feeling really uncomfortable. "It was-umm...we were...briefly engaged."
"What?!" Alcina bolts up from her spot. "You were engaged?!"
You nod curtly. "Briefly engaged, yes."
Alcina just stares at you, completely flabbergasted. "When were you planning on telling me that?"
You pulled a confused face. "Um never? Why would I ever bring that up? Under what pretense is that an ok thing to bring up?"
"I..." She sighs, "I don't know."
"I'm sorry, Alcina. I didn't think it was a big deal."
"I suppose it's not. You're here now and that's all that matters."
You crawl on her lap and give her a sweet kiss. "And I'm not going anywhere."
Later That Night
You were out on the balcony gazing up at the array of constellations, waiting for Alcina to join you when there was a knock at the bedroom doors. Strange, no one is around at this hour. From your vantage point, it sounded like one of the servants talking to Alcina. He handed her something through the crack of the open door before having the door slammed in his face. Alcina joined you out on the balcony and handed you a rather beaten-up-looking envelope. "This was left for you by the main gates. Can't imagine who it's from?"
"Fuck, already?"
Alcina hummed as she sipped her wine. "A letter from your ex-fiancee."
"Wanna read it together?"
Alcina shakes her head but it looks forced. "It's none of my business."
"I don't care Alcina, really. This is clearly bothering you and I want to know what's going on between them and me."
"Well, if you're sure then." She hands you a letter opener and curls up next to you. The action briefly reminds you of a puppy looking for attention.
You waste no time opening the envelope and pull out a short, sloppily written letter.
I hope this letter finds you well. Please, before you crumple this up and throw it away please just hear me out. I want to apologize for how I treated you when we were together. Obviously, we were both dealing with a lot back then because we were young and stupid, but I'd like to think I've changed a lot since then. Don't get me wrong, I still have my moments, I'm only human, But I really have changed. If you still hate me and never want to talk to me again I understand. I wanted to say I'm sorry and see if we could make an effort to at least stay friends. I'm not the wreckless teenager you used to know and I've always thought about reaching out to you.
These past years of backpacking have taught me a lot and helped me grow up. I had to learn how to fix my own problems and not lean on someone else's support. I had to learn how to live off the land and support myself through the good and bad times. I realize now that I wasn't able to take care of you because I was unable to properly take care of myself. I see that now. You were never far from my mind; I thought about you every day I was gone.
The blacksmith told me you're working at Dimitrescu Castle as a handmaiden? Never thought you of all people would ever accept that kind of job, but hey, I guess I'm not the only one that changed. I hear it's pretty tough up there...then again you're the toughest person I've ever met. If anyone can handle it it's you. How are they treating you up there? Â What's it like living in such a massive castle? You know me, I would probably lose my way and get lost haha.
I really hope you decide to write back, but no pressure. I understand everything we went through was...a lot to deal with and you want your space. Just in case you want to respond, I'll leave my address enclosed. A nice elderly couple is letting me stay with them in exchange for work. How sweet is that? It's mostly just labor chores around the house that need to be done so it's no big deal.
Best regards,
E/N
You share a look with Alcina who only scowls at the piece of paper. "I don't like the sound of this."
You shake your head, genuinely lost for words."I don't even know what to say, honestly."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
Alcina sighs and sits you on her lap, straddling her thick thighs. "I know you're going to say forget about them because of me," she silences you with a single finger to your lips. "But it's ok. I know you love me and only me. You're allowed to have friends outside the castle, my love, and I have no right to deny you. Even if this particular friend was your ex-fiancee; I trust you completely."
Your heart was melting in your chest. Even though it looks like it took all her strength to say those words you know she means it. 'Thank you, Alcina. I know you don't like this, but I would at least like to hear what they have to say. Our relationship wasn't a happy one at the end and, well, I don't know, I guess I just want some closure. But I promise every letter I get we will read together."
"Oh you don't have to do that, love, I trust you."
"I know and I appreciate that very much. But I want you to know exactly what's being said between the two of us, even if it's just to ease your mind about them."
Alcina smiles down at you and strokes your lips. "What have I done to deserve you?"
"Whatever it was, you definitely deserve me."
Three months and several letter exchanges later
âWhy do we entertain this, again?â
You glanced up after opening the latest letter received. âBecause, my love, all theyâre looking for is a friend. Itâs been a long time since they left the village and a lot has changed, the people included. Trust me, as soon as they make more friends down there they will get bored of me.â
Alcina only groaned in response as she laid herself down on the bed, rather dramatically, so her head was in your lap. âDoesnât sound that way to me. Last week they said, and I quote, it means the world to me that weâre talking again. I canât believe after all this time and everything weâve been through youâre still willing to talk to me.â She sighed. âIâm still surprised myself.â
You lean down and kiss her lips chastely. She pulls you back onto her and bites your lower lip, causing you to gasp. She takes this opportunity to deepened the kiss, caressing your tongue with her own.
You only pull away when the need for oxygen is desperate. âYouâre needy when youâre jealous.â
She scrunched her face in disgust. âI told you I am not jealous. Thereâs nothing to be jealous of. They are nothing.â
âItâs ok babe, I think itâs cute.â You kiss her sweetly. âShows me how much you love me.â
A light blush powdered Alcina's cheeks. âWell, I do love you.â
âI love you too.â
She closes her eyes and focuses on the feeling of your fingers running through her hair. âSo, what are they saying this time?â
âNothing interesting. Theyâre still looking for work, I think they might still be holding out on us hiring them. Even though I made it very clear thereâs no place for them here.â
âAbsolutely not,â Alcina growled. âItâs bad enough I have to listen to you read these damned letters why would I want to hire them? Short-staffed or not that...person is not allowed in my home.â
âI know Darling, I made it very clear. You know that.â
âI know you did. You were sweet enough to let me read it.â
You chuckle as you continue reading. âI let you read all the letters, Alcina. Youâre my partner and I love you. You have a right to know whatâs going on.â
She moved to sit up and kissed the top of your head. âI appreciate that.â
She made her way over to the vanity and starts taking off her makeup. You paid her little attention as you continued glazing over the letter. This has become your weekly routine; open the letter, read it first by yourself, and then give it to Alcina to read over so she can make fun of the person for the rest of the night. You think itâs her way of letting all her jealous energy out. She knows you and this particular ex were extremely close. It was the deepest relationship you had been in previous to Alcina. But it was also the most toxic relationship you had ever been in.
Every week you got the letter you would assure her there was no reason to get jealous or upset as she does. Not that you minded the extra cuddles and kisses that came along with jealous-clingy Alcina. It was cute. The way she gets close and cuddly with you like an attention-starved kitten.
You were about halfway through the letter when you realized the handwriting changed ever so slightly. It appeared sloppier than the previous paragraphs, almost as if the writerâs hand was shaking as they wrote. Then as you continued down the page the reason became apparent.
â....what are the odds us giving our relationship a second chance? Iâve changed a lot over the years and now that Iâm back...maybe things would be different? I never lost feelings for you. This has been on my mind for a while now, but Iâve been too scared to bring it up until today.â
Oh god....
You turn back to Alcina who thankfully hasnât noticed your sudden nervous energy. You take a few deep breaths, trying to calm your nerves, before continuing.
âMy feelings never really went away, only transferred from person to person cause I wanted them to be you. But they werenât and never can be. You have always been so special to me- you should know that by now. Itâs nice having you here again. You were a major part of my life growing up. I wish I could change not having you around these past years cause you were my everything.â
You raise a hand to cover your mouth and bit down on one of your fingers.
As you look up to check on her your heart sinks as youâre met with her eyes burning into you through the reflection of the mirror. She knows somethingâs wrong. Of course, she knows- she always knows! Itâs like she can smell your nervousness from across the room. She doesnât break eye contact even when removing her lipstick.
You try your hardest to pretend she isnât staring and continue on reading.
âIf thereâs a way to make your feelings for me come back you better believe Iâll find it. But I know I canât force you to feel something you donât anymore. Itâs just always been so easy to connect with you. Thatâs why I want to try and rekindle our flame. Youâre such a loving, generous, kind-hearted person to be around. I always admired you for that. To this day Iâve never been able to connect with someone as deeply as I did you.â
âFor fuck sake...â you thought. âIt canât get any worse than this right? It canât possibly get any worse.â
You donât have to look up to know that Alcinaâs stare has intensified. Her eyes are practically burning holes in the back of your head. You know the game sheâs playing too...sheâs gonna wait until she knows youâre finished reading and come over to read it for herself and let the rages of hell consume her. After all, youâve seen how out of control her temper can become, this year alone sheâs gone through three replicas of her vanity. And that was only because Mother Miranda called.
â....Iâm glad to hear youâre in good health. Your health has always been something I worry tirelessly about, even when we werenât on good terms.â
You sigh in relief. âOk, thatâs not so bad. I guess I can forgive that one. My health has always been up and down, even Alcina worries like a dog over me some days.â
âWhen I leave again maybe you can come with me? We always did talk about living in the country. We can have our own land for whatever animals you want and a barn to match.â
You actually yelp out of surprise. âHoly shit thatâs worse...thatâs so much worse. Alcina is going to be livid when she sees this.â
Your attempt to steady your breathing fails miserably. The most you can hope for now is to not make eye contact- then she sees how much of a nervous wreck you are. âDonât look up, donât look up, donât look up, donât look- FUCK!â
In an instant, Alcinaâs up and making her way to stand behind you, wonât glass in hand. Sheâs already glaring down at the piece of paper like it personally cussed her out. âWhat did that lowlife say this time?â
âAlcina, I donât think you should-â itâs too late. Sheâs already snatched it out of your hands.
You start inching away as you watch her facial expressions morph from displeased to disgust, to seething as her eyes scan the bottom of the page. Her breathing is heavy, her nostrils are flaring, and her eyes glowing a bright gold as she recites the final paragraph out loud.
âIâm always going to be here for you from now on. I made the mistake of missing all those years with you. I ainât missing no more.
Goodnight, MY LOVE?!â
You bring a hand up to hook around her arm. âCalm down, Alci.â
She doesnât respond. Everything is quiet for what felt like hours when in reality it was only about a minute. You watched her eyes scan over the page over and over again until they fall back on you.
You have never really been scared of the vampiress, she never gave you a reason to be. But those eyes hold no mercy. You want to run away and cower somewhere sheâll never find you, the abandoned passages maybe, but fear has you frozen in place.
Her smile doesnât reach her eyes, itâs one of those psychopathic smiles someone sees right before they die. She notices your cautiousness and is quick to retract her claws and thread her fingers through your hair. âIf youâll excuse me, darling. Thereâs some business I must attend to in the basement.â
âAlci-â
âIâll be back later tonight, porumbel mic. Donât wait up.â
Hours passed before you abandoned the idea of sleeping and decided to stroll around the castle. It was usually only done with Alcina when one of you had trouble falling asleep, but since she was still nowhere to be found you figured it couldn't hurt to try by yourself. Bloodcurdling screams from the basement were particularly loud tonight. The girls must have found themselves new toys to play with. No matter which part of the castle you were in you could hear the muffled cries of the damned. You wrote it off as Daniela and Cassandra being particularly intense. Eventually, you ran into Bela while in the west wing. She flashed you a broad smile.
"A little late for you, isn't it y/n?"
"Couldn't sleep. Your sisters are having a lot of fun tonight, huh?"
The eldest vampire sibling shot you a confused look. "What are you talking about?"
"All the screaming in the basement, that's them, right?"
She started laughing. "Oh no, y/n, that's all Mother's doing. She's pretty pissed about something; I haven't seen her this mad in decades! And from the looks of it, I bet you know why."
You rubbed the back of your neck and look around the corridor, really anywhere other than Bela's eyes. "Well..."
"Ooh! What is it? What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything, not really. It's just, someone I used to be in a relationship with has been sending me letters and Alci thought it would be alright if I responded. Just to make sure they knew I was happy and safe and all that kind of stuff. Then after I'm done reading what they sent me I give the letter to your mother to let her read. So she knows there's nothing going on between the two of us, ya know?"
Bela nods, stars shining bright in her eyes. "OOh what did the letter say?"
"They um, confessed they still had feelings for me. And they were thinking about running away with me to the countryside."
Bela looked like she was going to explode from all this excitement. You knew she was only pretending to not know about all the other letters. Bela was the gossip seeker of the family. Nothing made the girl happier than to have something to blackmail you with, or anyone really. There was no escaping her wrath, not even Alcina could.
"Mother must have been seething!"
"Yeah," you felt rather guilty about it. "I guess she's taking her anger out on the basement dwellers."
Bela giggled. "Better them than us, right?"
"No question about it."
It's after three in the morning when Alcina finally crawls into bed next to you. She's already stripped herself naked and there's a thin layer of sweat covering her body. She wraps herself around your back and you try to be as still as possible, giving the illusion you're fast asleep. You should have known better. This is Alcina Dimitrescu we're talking about here. The woman can probably smell your anxiety from the other side of the castle.
"I told you not to wait up."
You sigh and roll over on your back. "I slept a few hours, then woke up and couldn't fall back. Even walking around the castle didn't help."
The vampire shifted her body so she was almost laying on top of you; her arm is draped over your middle, a leg nudging between yours, and she's nestling her face in the crook of your neck.
"Do you feel any better?"
Even in the low light of the moon, you can see her looking at you. "A little bit."
An uncomfortable silence filled the bedroom. Neither of you knew what to say if there was anything to be said. You decide to break the silence.
"I'm sorry, Alcina. You were right from the beginning. I shouldn't have engaged with them," your eyes widen at your own words. "Sorry, not the word I should have used."
She chuckles into your neck before giving your pulse point a kiss. "It's not your fault, porumbel mic. My anger is not directed at you."
"Still, I should have known this would happen. I'm not responding, of course."
She starts kissing and licking down your neck. "Good. Alcina Dimitrescu does not share her porumbel mic with anyone."
Soft quiet moans began escaping your mouth, which encouraged Alcina even more. You shared a brief moment of unspoken words before joining your mouths to one another. You move to straddle her and press your body into her with everything you've got. For the rest of the night, you proceed to remind Alcina just how much you love her.
A week later in the village
It was a quaint little village, full of blossoming flowers in the spring and cheerful wildlife wandering around the outskirts. The people of the village fended for each other all year round. It was a very tight-knit place to live. Chatter fills the air along with the tantalizing aromas from various shops as the people go about their daily routines. You and Bela had accompanied Alcina while running some errands. Nothing important, really, just picking up various perfumes and lotions the matriarch was running low on. Bela made herself comfortable sitting by the fountain in the village square, growing rather impatient and bored.
You were about to suggest going in the shop with Alcina to help move things along quicker until you heard it. That single sound made your heart stop beating and drop to the pit of your stomach.
"Y/n!" They called from a distance. You groaned when you saw their silhouette approaching, and nearly pulled your own hair out when you saw how happy they were to see you. Bela, however, looked very pleased with the change of atmosphere. "OOH y/n is that them? The one from the letters that wants to run away with you?"
You nod.
As they get closer Bela pretends to gag. "Ew, you were seriously going to marry that?"
You elbow her in the side, hoping they didn't hear that. "I was young ok. Please just go get your mother and tell her to hurry up."
The girl flashed you an evil smile. "With pleasure."
She got away just in time. They greeted you not with a handshake, or a playful punch to the shoulder, but with a bone-crushing hug that lasted a little too long to be comfortable. "How's it going y/n? Gosh, I never thought I would be lucky enough to run into you here!" They pulled away and looked you over a few times. You had the inclination to cover yourself even though you were completely clothed. "You look incredible."
"Thanks, it's uh, nice to see you too."
"So what are you doing here little miss handmaiden? Running some errands for your Lady or is it your day off or something? Do handmaidens even do stuff like that? I don't know. Anyways, if you aren't doing anything right now, you wanna grab something to eat?"
Fuck no
Before you could think of an excuse Bela was at your side again, smiling even more wickedly than before. "Mother is making her final purchase and then we're returning home. We best meet her at the carriage." Her eyes fixate on the person standing opposite of her like a wolf to its prey. "You must be e/n. I've read so much about you!"
You elbow her in the stomach. "Bela!"
Meanwhile, e/n had never looked so embarrassed. "Oh, so you let them read all our-"
The gods were smiling upon you today. Being saved from awkward conversations left and right.
"Come along, my darlings. Time to go home," Alcina calls behind you. Your heart starts racing in your chest, whether it was from anxiety or anticipation you had no idea. As soon as Alcina locked eyes with your ex her entire face shifted. She went from calm and happy Mother Alcina to cold-hearted Lady Dimitrescu almost instantaneously. Your ex was in awe of the tall woman before them. They heard rumors about the Lady of course but always believed them to be just that; rumors and wives' tales.
Bela ran to her mother's side. "Mother, look, it's e/n from the letters."
You pinched the bridge of your nose and could swear you feel a migraine coming on.
Alcina looked them over and nodded. Her expression was neutral, but you knew her eyes held no mercy. "So it seems."
Your ex bowed in respect to Lady Dimitrescu ad greeted her politely. It wasn't bad actually, too bad they're already on Alcina's blacklist. "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Dimitrescu."
She smiles, "I know it is, dear."
You lost composure for a split second and let out a snort. "Apologies, my lady, are you ready to return to the carriage?"
Alcina only waved you off. "Oh come now, my love, there's no need to be so formal. They're a friend, after all, are they not?"
Yup, definitely feel a migraine coming on. Though you had to admit, the look on their face was absolutely priceless. They rubbed the back of their neck awkwardly. "I'll just um...I'll see ya around, y/n."
Alcina wore the proudest smile you had ever seen as they walked off.
"You're ridiculous sometimes, you know that?"
The vampires only laughed in response. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Alcina opened the carriage door for you and Bela to enter first, ever the gentleman, and took a moment to survey the village around her. Only when her eyes met your ex's did she enter the carriage herself, pulling her girls close.
