YOUR BABY
A/N: it's just a little something, nothing hardcore like last time lol! it's def on the fluffy side.
PAIRING: husband!Harry X Reader
WORD COUNT: 1.3k
masterlist
Tumblr media
“Harry? You alright in there?” you call out after him teasingly, even though he hasn’t been in the bathroom for that long.
“Perfectly fine!” you hear his voice from inside, shuffling around in the room as you sit on the couch, waiting for him patiently.
You haven’t done any dramatic outfit reveals lately, since his fits for the shows were almost the same just in different colors, but H said tonight he is finally switching it up. So here you are, waiting for your husband to give you a runway walk in his Nashville night one outfit. You’ve been thinking about what it could be, theories varying from see-through lacy shirts to crop tops. Oh yeah, you would love to see him in a crop top, dressed like men in the nineties, that would be so hot, though not quite his style.
“You ready?” he asks from the other side of the door.
“Never been more ready!” you giggle, your legs bouncing excitedly when you see the doorknob turn.
“Here I come!” he announces and then walks out with his little funny walk, hands bent in the wrist like little girls do, a silly smile on his face as he approaches you.
And he looks fantastic. The powder colored sparkly suit is amazing, fits him so well, especially on his thighs. Goddamnit, you already want to get him out of it! You jump up from your seat, walking closer to him when he opens the jacket, revealing his shirtless torso, only his suspenders running across his chest in such a delicious way.
“Shut up!” you gasp, staring at him as if he was art, but in a way, he really is art to you. Reaching out your palms cup his stomach just above the waistline of his pants, the warmth of his body mixed with the hardness of his muscles is the sweetest feeling under your touch. “Harry Styles, you are such a tease!” you giggle, eyes meeting his proud look. You both know the fans have been going crazy for another revealing outfit since the show in Vegas. This will absolutely love this one.
“You like it?” he grins at you, hands finding your waist as he pulls you closer, kissing your cheek.
“Well of course! You look fabulous!” you giggle, stealing a kiss from his lips quickly. Your hands slide to his naked back under the jacket and you can’t hold a satisfied hum back how perfect this fit is. The shirts tucked into his pants didn’t let you do this, but now you can feel his skin with no problem, whenever you want to. “This outfit might be my second favorite after the Vegas one,” you grin up at him, running your fingers up and down his back, your nails gently scratching him just the way he likes it when you’re in bed. He is incredibly cuddly, almost like a baby and loves to get you to scratch his back and head, whining whenever you stop.
“Mmm, you need to stop or the concert will start late,” he hums and you feel his muscles relax under your touch, his lips pressing to your forehead.
You stay like that, tangled together, just showering in the joy of the moment. You’ve been married for almost a year, but it still feels like you’re spending your honeymoon. It doesn’t matter where you are, Harry always makes you the happiest and you truly hope this feeling will never go away.
It’s a little hard to let go of him, but you wouldn’t keep him up from his concert. You watch him climb into his little box, steal another kiss before the lid is on and then take you usual spot backstage to watch the show. As usual, he is giving one thousand percent. The stage is on fire, the fans are going wild and you just love seeing him this happy, doing what he loves the most.
Sometime during the show a fan asks Harry to do her gender reveal. You instantly feel the excitement grow inside you as he takes the envelope and teases the crowd, reading what’s written in it. You don’t even realize but you’re holding your breath, eyes glued to your husband on the stage, talking about someone else’s baby and it got you wondering…
The past few months you’ve been continuously thinking about finally trying for a baby. Now feels like a good time, everything is going well in your life, you’re finally married with Harry, something you really wanted to happen before getting pregnant and tour would be over by the time you’d reach the second trimester. That is if you succeed instantly, but you know it might take a few months.
“A little baby girl!” Harry announces on the stage, the crowd erupting in screams as he falls to his knees celebrating the joy of a soon to be mother.
You want him to talk about your baby. To reveal your baby’s gender, to be this excited about your baby. You want to have a baby with him. Period.
As the show carries on you think about bringing it up to him, no use in delaying it. You can talk about anything with him, don’t have to stress about what he might say.
When Harry leaves the stage ending the concert, you’re waiting for him near the curtains, his eyes finding you right away, running up to you like an energetic little boy.
“You were so good!” you laugh when he picks you up, twirling you around, his lips peppering kisses into the crook of your neck.
“Let’s go,” he breathes out, pulling you after him into the dressing room.
He doesn’t mess around too long, you’re out the door in about thirty minutes, heading back to the hotel. Harry’s hand never leaves you, he is either holding your hand or squeezing your thigh, waist, he is obviously in a good mindset, maybe even feeling sentimental a little. It’s the perfect opportunity to bring up the baby talk.
When you’re finally back in your room, hidden away from everyone and everything, you’re just about to bring it up, but he beats you.
“Did you see the gender reveal?” he asks with bright eyes as he moves around the room, plugging his charger into his phone, setting it down to his night stand.
“Yeah. A little girl!” you chuckle. This could be a great moment to tell him what you’ve been thinking about, but you notice that he has something else to say, so you wait for him patiently.
He grabs your hand and pulls you until you both are sitting on the edge of the bed. Licking his lips he takes a deep breath before looking into your eyes and you’re holding your breath again, just like earlier.
“Y/N, I’ve been thinking a lot lately. And just know that if you want to wait longer it’s totally fine, I just wanted to put it out there. This gender reveal just made me so emotional and… and I think this might be a good time to start it… but if—“
“Harry, I want to try for a baby,” you blurt out, cutting his rambling off. His mouth hangs open as he stares back at you, slowly, you see his eyes watering and before you could get out another word, he throws himself at you, hugging you so tight he almost crushes you.
You both start laughing, tears are flowing and you end up lying on the bed, tangled together, just enjoying this moment when you decided to start a family. Though you already think of him as your family.
“So we’re gonna have a baby?” he whispers after long minutes of just lying in each other’s arms, staring at one another with stupidly wide grins on your face.
“Well, we gotta make one first,” you giggle and Harry kisses your face all over in excitement.
“Oh, I’m good at that. Practiced a lot,” he cockily answers, making you laugh.
“Did you?”
“Mhm, want me to show it to you?” his smirk grows as he rolls on top of you, his hips settling between your legs.
“Wouldn’t pass on the chance,” you breathe out, pulling him down to kiss you finally.
Thank you for reading! Please like/reblog if you enjoyed!

yessss your request are open!!!!! could you do a tom blurb where he is super clingy and just wants to spoil you because he is going away again soon and buys you all these nice gifts which are wayyyy to expensive
a/n: um yeah this was something else, tom spending an insane amount of money on his s.o. is hot to me 
word count: 1815 
warnings: references to sexy time and angst and fluff and also cursing cause i like cussing
join my taglist!
“Tom, did you make sure to pack your lucky shirt?” You asked, digging through the drawer the two of you share. He stood behind you, sliding his hands around your waist, spinning you around to face him. You laughed as you put your hands on his chest, the two of you smiling.
“You worry too much, Y/N,” He said. You shook your head in disapproval as he gently pushed you against the drawer, pinning you against him.
“What is this?” You questioned, raising an eyebrow. “Trying to get more time out of me before you go?”
“Oh, yes darling,” His voice turned into a growl, “but that’s not the only thing I want from you.”
You looked at him, then giggled, realizing what he meant. You started kissing him, and he picked you up to bring you onto the bed with him. Your hands tangled in his hair, his hands on your waist; pulling you closer into him. He couldn’t let you go; not now, not ever. Your lips moved in a way so thrilling, the sensation sent chills down your spin. You loved feeling his warm lips on yours, you did your best not to think about how long he would be gone as both of your clothes were left in a pile off the bed.
Your bodies moved together through muscle memory, you’ve been together on this bed a hundred times before. Yet, this time felt different. Almost as if he couldn’t let go of you, he couldn’t let you out of his sight. Everything you did, he was behind you, watching you like a little kid. Perhaps this was a metaphor for how Tom felt about you, like a little kid again. You made him feel that puppy love, the love that people search their entire lives for. You have had your arguments, like any couple would, except your fights were mainly about his status in Hollywood. How busy he was because of this, how closely everyone watched the two of you. You and Tom did your best to keep your relationship as private as possible, but that was only to a certain extent. He was never able to promise you a normal life, but he made sure to give you a grand one.
“I think we should go shopping,” Tom said as he put his clothes back on again. You smiled, Tom’s insane job came with plenty of benefits- the wealth being one of them.
“Where should we go?” You asked, raising your eyebrow as you began to pick out an outfit.
“Wherever you want, darling,” He answered, walking over to were you stood in the closet. Your eyes met, and a smile grew on his face.
“Wherever?” You probed, keeping eye contact with him.
“Yes, wherever,” He confirmed, then placed a kiss on your forehead.
“I know you like to keep a low profile...” You trailed off, you realized you didn’t want to complete that thought. You would never put him in a situation were he was uncomfortable. “Actually, never mind.”
“No, what is it?” His eyes met with yours again as you turned to face him, only half of your outfit on.
“There’s just a place in the city I’ve been wanting to check out,” You revealed. “But, I know we’d be seen there, and I don’t think I want to deal with that on the last day here before you leave.”
“Oh, I remember you telling me about that store,” He responded.
“Yeah, it’s okay though, I’ll go after you leave,” You explained. “Should we get some food?”
You moved your attention back to getting dressed, rummaging through countless outfit ideas. Tom was awfully quiet, and you wondered why he didn’t respond to you.
“Tom?” You called out, but there was no response. You finally decided on an outfit, then left the closet to see that Tom wasn’t even in the bedroom anymore. You rolled your eyes, how nice of him to just leave in the middle of your conversation. You walked down the stairs of your home the two of you shared in his hometown. Your shoes echoed on the floors of the quiet house, the place was too big for just the two of you. When Tom would leave for projects that were months on end, you were miserable. Nothing to fill the silence, except your own thoughts- and that wasn’t always pleasant.
You turned the corner to find Tom putting his coat on, and texting someone on his phone.
“Ah, finally love, are you ready to go?” He asked, then pulled you into him. He kissed you, softly, before returning back to his phone.
“Where are we going?” You questioned. You stared at him as he started gathering his things, not answering your question. “Tom?”
“Huh?” He shot back. You tilted your head at him, confused.
“Where are we going?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh, you’re playing dumb,” You smiled at him. He flashed you a grin, then put his wallet in the pocket of his jacket. He grabbed his keys, and put a hand on your lower back.
“Are you ready? Do you have everything?” He questioned as the two of you walked towards the door.
“Yeah, I think so,” You responded. 
“Perfect!” He exclaimed, then the two of you walked out to the car. He was being overly nice right now, opening and closing the car door for you. Putting on your favorite music- which, for the record, he never does when he’s driving. You wanted to question it, but honestly, you didn’t want him to stop.
“I can’t remember,” You started. “How long are you filming this next movie?” You asked, looking at the window to be welcomed with the typical English skies, grey and gloomy.
“Uhh,” He let out. Your eyes darted to him, and he had a questionable look on his face- like he didn’t want to answer.
“How long?” You deadpanned.
“Long,” He whispered. You licked your lips, you were growing annoyed.
“Thomas.”
“Fine,” He shook his head. “Five mont-“
“Five months?” You yelled. “What the hell?”
“I know! I’m sorry!” He yelled back. “I didn’t know it would be that long!”
You shook your head. “I thought you said three months just a few weeks ago, what happened?”
“I thought you didn’t remember,” He shot back, giving you a glare.
“Keep your eyes on the road,” You said.
“Let me make it up to you,” He whispered, he was trying to move the conversation. “Please.”
His eyes met with yours again, and you nodded your head. You were annoyed, but you could never stay mad at him. He placed his hand on your thigh, rubbing small circles into your leg. The rest of the ride was just the two of you singing along to music, and him moving his hand from your leg, to your face, to your neck, all over. He never failed to make you feel loved.
He pulled his car into a spot, and the two of you stepped out into the cold atmosphere of London.
“You didn’t have to do this,” You explained to Tom. “You know people will recognize you here.”
Tom shook his head, “I don’t care.”
He pulled you into him, his hand around your waist, your hand around his. The two of you walked into the shop you were talking about earlier, it was just a small boutique that you saw on Instagram, but their clothes were really cute. You spent a few minutes looking around, holding up clothes to Tom, asking what he thought. He was never the most helpful with shopping, he thinks everything looks good on you.
“Wait a damn minute,” You said. You grabbed a sweater that had caught your eyes, then held it up to Tom. “I think I need this.”
“It’s really cute, babe,” He agreed. You smiled at him, then added it to the collection of clothes he was holding in his arms for you. You kept looking around, adding more clothes and jewelry to your pile. You finally gave up, determining you have successfully looked through the entire store. You walked over to Tom, and your mouth flung open.
“Um, I am not getting all of that,” You said to Tom. “That’s way too much, let me put some back.”
He shook his head, then started walking towards the cashier.
“Tom? What are you doing?” You called after him as he kept walking. He ignored you, placing everything on the counter as the cashier started ringing everything up.
You looked at him, and he looked back at you. He had a smirk written all over his face. You tried to be discreet in front of the cashier as you whisper-yelled, “Are you crazy?”
He looked down at you, “Let me do this for you.”
“Thomas,” You began, then your eyes widened as you saw the cost. “It’s almost a thousand dollars, you’re not doing this!”
“Yes I am,” He shot back, his smile growing.
“Thomas Stanley Holland,” You growled out. He kept ignoring you, and gave the cashier his credit card.
“I wish my boyfriend would do this for me,” She joked as she took the card from him. You and Tom gave a half-hearted laugh, as you gave him a side glare. You couldn’t believe how much money he was spending right now, you knew he felt bad for leaving, but there are plenty of other ways to make it up to you. Like, sex, or a date night. The cashier handed you your bags, and the two of you walked back to the car.
“You’re ridiculous,” You let out, but you had a smile on your face.
“I know,” He agreed, looking at you. He couldn’t stop smiling as he opened the car to put the bags in. You started to walk towards the door, but he locked the car.
“Where are you going?” He asked. You looked back at him, confused.
“What?”
“We’re not done, we haven’t even hit Saint Laurent yet,” He responded. “That’s my favorite store!”
You laughed, then walked over to him. You pulled him into you, rubbing your hands on his back. Your cheeks were tired from smiling so hard, and you pulled out to look at him.
“I love you baby,” You said. You placed your hands on the back of his neck, pulling him into you. You kissed him, and he kissed you back. His warm lips tasted like mint, and he smelled heavenly. His arms moved up your back, landing in your hair, gently tugging as his kissing turned more rough. You laughed against his mouth, breaking away from the kiss.
“Slow down there, big guy,” You whispered, your eyes sparkling despite the gloomy skies. “We’re in public.”
“Yeah, I don’t give a shit,” He responded, then pulled you back into him.

Mary-Kate Olsen's Singular Style
She came to fame as a twin, but the actress's cultish look is entirely her own. Here, with Lauren Hutton, she pays homage to another fashion inspiration, Grey Gardens. Written by Laura Brown, with photography by Peter Lindbergh (Harper's Bazaar, 2007)
Tumblr media
VIEW GALLERY
Mary-Kate Olsen may be the only young actress who breezes into her local Starbucks wearing towering, fashion-fierce Balenciaga boots, who arrives at her latest premiere (in Mary-Kate's case, for the new season of Showtime's Weeds, in which she plays a devout Christian with a pot fetish) sporting an oversize cross, and whose favorite band is Led Zeppelin. She may, in fact, be the only young actress who knows who Led Zeppelin is. MK, as she is known to her friends and family, is also a punctual and professional sort. She arrives for a poolside tea in Los Angeles 10 minutes early, ordering a hot chocolate while explaining her fetish for all things sweet — "I'm a candy girl, like Tootsie Rolls and Swedish Fish" — and objecting when the waiter tries to take the sugar bowl away. She is wearing a nautical striped T-shirt (her mom's, from the '70s), tucked into two black Wolford slips rolled down and turned into a tight, Robert-Palmer-video-style mini, and multicolored sparkly Christian Louboutin stilettos. She's just had her hair colored, returning to a sunnier shade after some experiments with both peroxide ("I woke up one morning and was like, I want white-trash hair today") and the dark side (an auburn-haired near-Goth moment last year). She's carrying a large black fringed leather Prada tote — she doesn't do small bags — and her fingers are covered with rings, most notably two vintage coiled gold snakes stacked on top of each other. ("They remind me of twins, sort of double headed.") Altogether, the effect is less her famed "bag-lady chic" than an edgy, body-conscious, and, yes, sexy silhouette. If she weren't 21, she could be 40. And French.
Few people need reminding that Mary-Kate — with her twin sister, Ashley — literally crawled into celebrity aged nine months (courtesy of Full House) and has not been out of the spotlight ever since. She has been a celebrity for more than two decades. Perhaps that's one reason she seems as if she came out of the womb worldly, the textbook old soul. "Yeah," she says with a small shrug. "I get that a lot." With all of that attention and all of the money (her and Ashley's company, Dualstar, has famously become a "billion-dollar business"), Mary-Kate could easily have ended up the type who wears pink terry cloth and carries a variety of small dogs. "Could you imagine?" she says with the politest version of a snort. "No way." She credits her exceptionally close-knit family (she has five siblings) and, interestingly, early stardom with helping her keep her perspective. "I think it helped that I started in front of the camera, so it didn't come as a shock. If I was a teenager and was thrown into the spotlight, I don't know how I would react, to be honest." Though the tabloids are all too keen to brand her a skinny, nervous deer in the headlights, in person Mary-Kate is easy in her skin, confident and surprisingly tactile, curling up in her seat and touching you on the arm to make a point. She laments the generic style of most actresses and cites only men as style inspirations: "Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp. Men, they just dress the way they want, and they don't think about Who Wore It Best." She doesn't much care for Who Wore It Best, noting she avoids those pages by "wearing vintage so often. I just dress the way I feel instead of looking for what's the new handbag." If Mary-Kate and Ashley have their way, more people will be wearing clothes and carrying bags the way they do. They have just shown the fifth collection of their ready-to-wear line, the Row, and recently launched a contemporary label, Elizabeth and James, named after a sister and a brother. The Row's holiday collection (in stores next month) is a slick mix of skinny leather pants, razor-cut blazers, butter-soft, slouchy tees, and a destined-to-be-cultish pullover fur. Lauren Hutton, who stars in the Row's Spring '08 look book, says, "The clothes are extraordinary. A man I was with just loved them. The pieces are just so genius, soft like a baby's skin. Simple minimalist stuff, but really spectacular." Mary-Kate, designer, faces an interesting challenge. She has to marry Dualstar — which has made its fortune selling tween-tastic DVDs and pastel Mary-Kate and Ashley T-shirts at Wal-Mart — with her increasingly edgy and subversive taste. Dualstar executives, some of whom have worked with her since she was a child, often nag her, mom-style, about pulling her hair back "or wearing a color," she says with a laugh. "I had this event recently, and I was like, They're going to be so happy that I'm wearing ... purple. I actually have to think about those things, though, you know, so I don't get trashed." Get trashed sometimes she does. Hutton says, "Once in a while, she'll wear something and I'll think, Oh, baby doll, take another look. But to have the bravery, to take the chance to do that, is pretty wonderful. She is making her own way, which is hardly ever done in Hollywood." Of Mary-Kate's penchant for gigantic Balenciaga heels, Jenji Kohan, the creator of Weeds, says, laughing, "I'd be like, 'It's Tuesday. Do you really want to be wearing those shoes?' But she pulls it off." Designer Giambattista Valli, a friend, says, "She likes to take risks, but because she has such strong personal style, she always manages to make it work. Even if she had nothing on, she'd have style." And MK chic is spreading. "Sometimes I'll look at people or at a magazine and I'll do a double take because I'm like, Oh, my God, that's my outfit, but that's not me," Mary-Kate says. Playing with her wire-rimmed aviators, she jokes wryly that she should have bought shares in Ray-Ban. (She and Chloë Sevigny pretty much brought back white '80s Wayfarers.) She tends to fall in love with a look, then wear it until she's done. "If I put together a good outfit, I'll wear it for three days and then switch it up with a blazer," she says. "I still love my vintage jeans, my tights, and my pants, though." She didn't start wearing heels, in fact, until a couple of years ago: "I kept watching Ashley walk around in them so gracefully, and I'm such a klutz. But I ended up loving heels, and I don't usually take them off." She wears precisely one pair of flat shoes: Chanel's knee-high patent-leather gladiator sandals. This season, it's Balenciaga's fall collection — all of it — that has Mary-Kate obsessed. She is close to designer Nicolas Ghesquière and says, "He is so talented, but he's the nicest, most down-to-earth guy, and that makes everything he does more brilliant. I bought everything, but I haven't got anything yet," she says like a girl impatiently waiting for Christmas. Will she wear the new pieces with her infamous clodhopper boots? "Uh-huh. Wore them the other day, actually." Mary-Kate always goes with her gut, even if some people (back to those tabloids) don't quite get it. "The tabloids say things about me? What do they say?" she asks archly. "People are going to write what they want, and everyone's going to have their own idea of who I am. But I'm not trying to be friends with the people who are reading them, really." After a rough couple of years filled with near-forensic scrutiny of her weight, she'll have you know that she does eat. "This is not going to sound good," she laughs, "but I like making crispy tofu sticks with peanut sauce. I love my sashimi and my salmon and my vegetables." She observes, "Stress plays a big role in how I look day-to-day. I've always been very active — Pilates, yoga. I grew up horseback riding every day for hours. I love dancing. I usually last longer than anyone on the dance floor." A common image of Mary-Kate has her emerging from a coffee joint with an oversize cup. "I always get creamed for having my Starbucks cup," she says, sighing. "But the only time people get photos of me is when I'm getting coffee, when I can't sneak away from the camera." She also resents the pictorial implication that she and Ashley are dilettantes. "They take photos of us going into our offices, and it's 'Mary-Kate and Ashley shopping again.' But I'm going to work for eight hours, and we're working so hard. ..." She trails off. "It just shows how people want to think of you." Mary-Kate is not above celeb watching herself, however. Newly obsessed with Victoria Beckham, she notes she avidly watched Beckham's Coming to America documentary: "She's running around in a bikini and heels, and I'm like, Oh, my God! I do that, too!" How positively Grey Gardens. "I run around my house naked with heels all the time. It's so funny. All my friends will tell you I love running around in kimonos and jewelry or naked with jewelry." More people will be watching Mary-Kate soon, thanks to her role in the Emmy-nominated Weeds. "I am a very good Christian girl," she says with a wink. "She has her moral beliefs — and she happens to smoke pot." Of her newest cast member, Kohan adds, "Mary-Kate is complicated. She's a big celebrity, a huge media icon, but you have to separate the media images from someone who has the same issues, the same desires, as anyone else." Of course, Mary-Kate's image, in all its incarnations — from high fashion to small screen — is her strongest asset. And she has yet to settle on one. "I feel like I've lived 10 different lives already and I'm only 21," she says, almost as a reminder to herself. "But I also feel like I'm entering a new chapter." One thing on which she is clear, though: She doesn't need to be looked at all the time. What would she do for a day if she were invisible? "I would probably go to a restaurant with my friends, who would be able to see me, of course," she adds pragmatically, "and I would sit outside and enjoy a nice lunch with them. Then I would walk down the street." The old soul takes a sip of her little-girl-sweet hot chocolate. "That's what I would do."

Meet the Parents
Pairing: Jay Halstead x reader
Summary: Jay and Y/N have been dating for awhile now, and it’s finally time for Jay to meet her parents
Requested: No
Warnings: slight swearing, mention of having sex
Word Count: 1,596 Words
Tumblr media
“Look at that. Another case solved. We are officially the best unit ever,” Adam spoke.
I laughed. “I mean, you’re not wrong. Hey, has anyone seen Jay?”
“He was just in the locker room,” Hailey informed me as she packed up her things.
“Yeah. Any reason why he looked like he was about to piss himself?” Antonio asked me.
“He’s meeting my family for the first time tonight. I should go talk to him. I’ll see you guys tomorrow,” I tell the team and make my way towards the locker room. When I got inside, I found Jay sitting down on one of the benches, his legs resting on either side of the wood. “Hey,” I greet and straddle the portion of the bench in front of him so that we were mirror images. “What’s going on?”
“What if they don’t like me?” Jay asked and looked up at me.
“Why would you think that? You’re an amazing guy, Jay,” I murmur and take his hands in mine. “And my parents and sister are going to love you.” I leaned forwards and pressed a chaste kiss on his lips, which lasted longer than I expected, but I didn’t mind. When Jay and I finally parted, I rested my forehead against his. “I love you.”
Jay gave me a small smile. “I love you too.” After leaving the locker room, Jay and I packed up our things and headed back to our shared apartment. While we had only been dating for a few months now, we had known each other from work for a good amount of time, so it wasn’t a hard choice to make when Jay asked if I wanted to move in with him. At the apartment, I kicked off my shoes, took off my jacket, and then dragged Jay over to the couch for some cuddle time. I pressed myself against his chest and draped an arm over his waist, him doing the same for me, and just laid against him. Being in Jay’s arms always put me at ease, and I’m sure it did the same for him because I could feel the shift in his mood. For a while, we lounged around the house, but soon, it was time to get ready to go to dinner at my parents’ house.
“Babe, are you almost ready?” I ask and head into the bedroom, only to find Jay staring at his dresser. “Jay, why are you not dressed yet?”
“I don’t know what to wear,” Jay replied.
I chuckled softly and walked over to his dresser, pulling out a plain gray t-shirt and blue jeans. “Put this on. It’s my favorite outfit on you, except when you’re naked, of course.” Jay shook his head with a smile playing at his lips and took the clothes from my hands. “Now go get changed. I don’t want to be late.” Once Jay had finally gotten dressed, we made our way out front where my car was parked and climbed in. As we started driving, I could tell Jay was beginning to get nervous again. It didn’t take long to get to my parents’ house, and as soon as we got out of the car, I wrapped my arms around Jay’s torso. “Just be yourself. Everything is going to work out. I promise.”
“Okay,” Jay mumbled and laced his fingers with mine as we made our way up to the front door. I rang the doorbell, hearing the pleasant jingle go off in the house, and seconds later, the door opened to reveal my little sister, Elizabeth, or Lizzie for short. She was a whole 8 years younger than me, which, when we were little, was a huge difference, but now it didn’t matter too much.
“Hey, Lizzie,” I greet and step forward to give her a hug. Lizzie hugged me back quickly, and when I stepped back, I glanced towards Jay. “Lizzie, this is my boyfriend Jay. Jay, this is my sister Lizzie.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Jay spoke and held out his hand, which Lizzie shook politely.
“You too,” Lizzie greeted and scanned him up and down before turning to me. “Y/N, why wasn’t I aware that your boyfriend was this hot? I would have put on some nicer clothes.”
“You look fine right now,” I tell her and lead Jay into the living room, where Lizzie’s college textbooks were scattered all over the coffee table.
“What are you studying?” Jay asked Lizzie.
“Uh, molecular biology. Sorry about the mess,” Lizzie muttered and went to clean up her books.
“It’s cool. My older brother actually majored in biology. He’s a doctor over at Chicago Med,” Jay said.
“Y/N? Is that you?” my mother called out from somewhere deeper in the house.
“Yeah. Is dad with you?” I question and gesture for Jay to follow me.
“Of course he is. You know he can’t go 5 minutes without sneaking some food,” my mother replied. I laughed and went down the hallway at the back of the living room, which had the bathroom, dining room, and stairs branching off from it, and at the back of the house was the kitchen, where both my mom and dad were. My mother was busy putting dough into a circular tray while my father was digging through the pantry looking for something to snack on. My mother then looked up from what she was doing, and when she saw me and Jay, she smiled. “You must be Jay. Y/N talks about you quite a bit, you know.”
Jay grinned. “I wasn’t aware.”
“Well, I can see why. You’re very handsome. You and Y/N would have beautiful babies,” my mother commented.
“Mom,” I hiss as I felt my cheeks begin to heat up.
“What? I’m just putting it out there. Do you like deep dish, Jay?” my mom asked.
“I love it,” Jay responded.
“Good. I’ve been making it homemade since Y/N was born. Louis, get your head out of the pantry and greet Jay,” my mom scolded to my father, who still hadn’t emerged from the pantry.
“Yeah yeah, Janine,” my father said and exited the pantry, closing the door behind him. He then extended his hand to Jay. “It’s nice to meet you, son.”
“Nice to meet you too, Mr. L/N,” Jay concurred.
“All right. I’m going to show Jay around. Please do not take out any embarrassing photos while we’re gone,” I urge my mother.
“No promises,” my mother said with a small smile. I shook my head and led Jay out of the kitchen and up the stairs, where we entered the first door on the left.
“Welcome to my childhood bedroom,” I reveal. Nothing had changed since I had moved out to attend college. The walls were a light gray along with the carpet and my bed set, seeing as I had a neutral theme going on. My twin sized bed sat in the far right corner with my desk in the far left. On it were some fake plants, a few picture frames, and scattered souvenirs I had picked up along the years. Immediately on our right you had my dresser, and to our left I had two white beanbags sitting on the floor. Jay headed straight to my desk and examined the pictures within the frames.
“You have not changed one bit,” Jay told me.
“Oh shut up,” I tease. After showing Jay the rest of the house along with the backyard, dinner was finally ready. We all sat down at the kitchen, and that’s when the questions started.
“So, Jay, how long have you been a police officer?” my father asked.
“Not my whole life, like some people may think. I actually used to be in the army. I was a Ranger,” Jay informed my family.
“No shit. I was in the Marines,” my father responded.
“When did you know you wanted to be with Y/N? I want all the details,” Lizzie demanded with a huge smile on her face.
“Um, there was one night after work where Y/N and I were at Molly’s together having a few beers. And as we were talking, I realized that I couldn’t survive without her, so I asked her out,” Jay answered. Finally, after eating dinner and talking for about another hour or two, it was time for Jay and I to head back out to our apartment. Jay was waiting for me by the front door when my mother pulled me aside.
“He’s a lovely guy, Y/N,” my mother exclaimed. “I really like him.”
“Yeah,” I say. “Me too. I’ll talk to you later, mom.” As Jay and I walked out of the house hand and hand, I stopped in my tracks and pulled Jay down so that our lips touched. I could feel Jay smile against my lips as he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest.
“What was that for?” Jay asked me.
“I love you,” I tell him.
Jay grinned. “I love you too. So, how’d I do?”
“Amazing. My whole family loves you. I told you it’d be fine,” I reply.
“And you were right. What do you say we get back home and celebrate on how well this went?” Jay suggested.
“What are you thinking?” I question.
“Maybe an activity that involves your clothes on the floor,” Jay whispered in my ear, which sent a shiver down my spine.
“You don’t know how turned on that just made me. You better speed home,” I state.
“Oh, I was planning on it,” Jay said.

The Wonder Years: Part 5
While getting ready for her first school dance, twelve-year-old Olivia starts a path toward discovering who she is truly meant to be. Parts 1-4 can be found under the the tag #alex and liv: the wonder years
Thank you to everyone who reblogged the last chapter and an extra special thank you to @storiesofsvu ​@oliviaswifey @cabensons and my lovely anon for your kind words and encouragement to keep going with this.
...and a very happy day two of birthday week for @ghostwritingcabenson
Olivia wanted nothing but slow songs to play until it was time to go home. Even if she wasn’t a fan of them and thought they were too mushy, as long as she got to hold Alex, Olivia didn’t care what the songs were about, but after one more slow song she noticed her girlfriend was becoming antsy.
“Olivia, I’m cold.” Alex crossed her arms and started to fidget. “Let’s go somewhere else.”
“But it’s hot in here,” Olivia narrowed her eyes. “How are you cold?”
“Let’s go outside.”
Olivia was now more confused than ever. “But it’s colder outside so why do you want to go outside if you’re cold?”
“Olivia!” Alex’s eyes grew wide. She scanned the auditorium to see if anyone was looking at them before leaning in to whisper in Olivia’s ear. “I want to be alone with you.”
That single sentence made Olivia feel more discombobulated than ever before. The hair on her arms was standing up and she felt her heart start to race. “Why-why do you wanna be alone? Our friends are all here and we’re having fun.”
When Alex rolled her eyes, Olivia began to wonder if she had done something wrong until she felt Alex grab her by the hand. “Come on, Olivia. We’re going outside. We can see our friends on Monday.”
Alex led them to a bench in front of their school near the banner where they had taken pictures just a couple of hours before. Although only a short period of time had passed since she was twirling Alex for the sake of getting a good picture for Alex to post, Olivia felt as if the entire atmosphere of that area had changed. There were no more excited students being dropped off and showing their clothes and hairstyles to their friends and there were also no more parents coordinating where to meet and what time to pick up their kids. Instead it was just the two of them, sitting side by side on the bench in the almost eerie silence. It was the first time she had ever truly been alone with Alex. When they sat together at lunch, their friends were always around, and it was mostly other couples like Abbie and Serena or Kathy and Elliot, so there was never any awkward silence. But this time there were no other couples and no friends stopping them to say hi in the hallway as they walked to class. Instead, it was just the two of them and it was at that moment Olivia realized she had absolutely no idea what to say to her girlfriend.
When Alex scooted closer, Olivia felt her heart start to race again. She remembered what Jamie had said about following her lead and she thought back to last weekend when Jamie had come over to watch a movie with them. When they were sitting on the couch, Jamie had put her arm around her mom and Olivia remembered how happy her mom looked and how safe she must have felt with Jamie’s arm around her. I want Alex to feel that way, too. She didn’t know where she got the nerve, but Olivia soon put her arm around Alex. Alex responded by resting her head on her shoulder and Olivia could have sworn she heard her girlfriend sigh. For the first time, it wasn’t a sigh that meant ‘I’m done with you, Olivia.’ It was a sigh that Olivia figured must mean her girlfriend was content. 
“Liv?”
“Yeah?”
Alex nuzzled into the crook of her neck. “Do you know when I realized I had a crush on you?”
“You have a crush on me?” Olivia asked jokingly. Alex sighed yet again and Olivia knew that one was different. That was definitely an ‘I’m done with you’ sigh.
“Even if I spend 50 percent of our relationship being 100 percent done with you, I’m still so glad you’re my girlfriend.”
“Me, too,” Olivia smiled. “Except I’m never done with you. You’re all I think about.”
“You’re all I think about, too.” Much to Olivia’s disappointment, Alex stopped resting her head on her shoulder and decided to sit up so she could look her in the eyes. She knew a follow up question was coming and she wasn’t sure if she was ready to answer it. “What do you think about?”
“I...don’t know,” Olivia hesitated. “All kinds of things, I guess. Sometimes I think about us going to Disneyland and riding the teacups and we make them spin faster than anyone else’s. After that, I will buy you a pair of sparkly Minnie Mouse ears and even if all the other girls have them, no one looks as pretty as you do. No other girl in this whole world is as pretty as you.” Olivia held both of Alex’s hands in hers. “What do you think about?”
Alex scanned the area to make sure they were alone just as she had in the auditorium. “I think about doing this.” She leaned forward and gently pressed her lips to Olivia’s. Before Olivia could even decide if she should have her eyes open or closed, their first kiss was over, and Olivia was left feeling as if her heart was beating a million times a minute.
Olivia smacked her lips together, trying to decipher the new flavor on them. “Your lipgloss tastes like strawberry. My favorite!”
Alex’s cheeks were starting to turn pink, which in turn made Olivia feel shy. “I’ll keep that in mind and wear strawberry lipgloss whenever I plan on kissing you.”
“We can kiss again?” Olivia asked in disbelief.
Alex cupped Olivia’s face in her hands. “I’m your girlfriend, Olivia! Of course we can kiss again.”
“Right now?”
“Olivia!” Alex giggled. “That was our first kiss. We’ve just taken a very important step in our relationship and I think we should talk about it. How was it for you?”
“Kissing?”
“Yeah.”
Olivia scratched her chin, pretending to be deep in thought. “I think our first kiss was better than baseball and almost as good as basketball.”
“Almost?” Alex asked, trying not to sound hurt.
“Yeah, almost.” Olivia shrugged. “I’ve been playing basketball since I was a little kid and I’ve only been kissed once so I can’t say kissing is better than basketball. Maybe if I get kissed all the time…”
“All the time?” Alex leaned in to kiss her again and when she felt Alex’s hand on the back of her neck and then playing with her newly cropped hair as they kissed, Olivia realized kissing was in fact better than basketball.
When Alex pulled away and Olivia opened her eyes, it took a moment to adjust to her surroundings and even try to remember her own name. 
“Better than basketball?” Alex winked.
“Better than anything,” Olivia beamed. “Better than basketball, better than pizza. I can’t compare it to anything really because nothing can make me as happy as kissing you.”
Their moment was interrupted by the sound of a notification on her phone. It was now 8:45 and the text was from her mom telling her that she’d be there in fifteen minutes. The most romantic night of Olivia’s life was coming to an end. But there’s still fifteen minutes. I can kiss her a million more times in fifteen minutes.

You Can Bet On It
Summary: Your roommate drags you out to the club where she beets a tall, blonde, handsome brit. You hand back at the bar and happen to meet his roommate. 
Tom Holland x Reader
Warnings: smutttt, a little rough, spanking and light choking, use of vibrator, alcohol consumption
Word Count: 8k (got a little carried away with this one...)
Oh god, what is that horrible squeaking sound?
You are ripped from your trance to realize that the irritating noise was coming from you. Your bad habit of scratching off beer labels when you are nervous was starting to show, as your nail had worn completely through the thin paper, and had been obnoxiously rubbing into the glass.
You had zoned out, letting your eyes land on the ground and drift out of focus, clearing your head for a moment or five. Bars weren’t your favorite place. Scratch that, this kind of bar wasn’t your favorite place. Watered down liquor, slurred speech, thumping music, and people who were drunk enough not to care that they were practically having sex in public.
One of those people being your roommate Madison. You loved her, but god you couldn’t be more different. She is wild, sparkly, loud, fun. You’re…not. Your squeaking had pulled your focus back up to the dancefloor of the club where she was swaying her body back and forth with some tall blonde stranger.
You had to give it to her, she had a way with men at bars. Barely even setting her stuff down before someone buys her a drink, uses a line, offers to dance. This was Madison’s cup of tea, or tequila rather. She loves getting dressed up and going out to the busiest clubs, finding some handsome stranger to whisk her away for a night.
You didn’t judge her, not at all. You actually found yourself jealous of her, wishing you had that kind of confidence. She had tried to help you on many occasions, being your self-proclaimed wing-woman and trying to help you pick up guys at bars, but you could never quite get the hang of the awkward small talk and rushed physical intimacy.
You did, on occasions like this, let her drag you out with her. It kept her off your back about being “antisocial” and a “hermit,” and you liked keeping an eye out for her, making sure no one was trying to take advantage. Not that she couldn’t take care of herself, Madison would snap if anyone tried to pull anything, but a more sober pair of eyes never hurts.
You had managed to grab a seat at the bar, facing outward to observe the bustling crowd. People-watching could sometimes prove to be an interesting way to pass the time, and truthfully you’d rather observe than interact most of the time. A few people had started conversations with you at the bar, and you weren’t a bitch or anything, you just clearly gave off the vibe that you weren’t interested in being bought some fruity cocktail and wooed onto the dancefloor.
Madison had her back pressed against the guy she was dancing with, his hands on her hips. The song was ending, and she made eye contact with you, nodding her head not-so-subtly towards the bathroom, signaling to you that she wanted to talk. Laughing to yourself at how un-smooth, yet totally smooth she managed to be at the same time.
“What’s up girl,” you ask as she pulls you into one of the single stall bathrooms.
“Y/N,” she grabs your shoulders, “he’s BRITISH.”
“Who?” you ask before registering that she was probably talking about that boy she had been grinding on.
“His name is Harrison, and he’s BRITISH, got the accent and everything,” she pressed her back up to the wall, pretending to fan herself off.
“Damn, going international now?” you joke, twiddling with the bottle in your hand.
“So, I need you to check him out, get a vibe, and let me know what you think,” she locks eyes with you, trying to be serious, unable to keep a few giggles from slipping out.
“I saw you two dancing, he’s definitely really good looking,” you tell her. She would always do this, try to make you feel involved, ask your opinion about the guy she was flirting with. She said she always wants your truthful opinion, but she always got the hottest guy at the place no matter where she was, so there wasn’t much for you to tell.
“Ugh, I’m totally gonna fuck him. Should I? I’m going to. I HAVE to. He’s British, and I can’t pass up an opportunity like that,” she was definitely talking to herself at this point.
You turn her towards the mirror, help her fluff her hair, straighten her dress, and give her some words of encouragement.
“You are hot. You are amazing. And you are going to have amazing hot sex with British Harrison,” you chant to her in the mirror, encouraging her to say it back to herself. Not that she needed the encouragement, but these little rituals you had in club bathrooms were always funny and sweet, it was one of the reasons you didn’t mind going out with her. You appreciated that she liked having your opinion, having someone she trusted around.
“Go get ‘em tiger,” you give her butt a tap as she exits the bathroom and shuffles back out onto the dancefloor, finding her man right where she had left him.
Your seat at the bar had been stolen, but you spotted an empty area over by a wall, somewhere you could comfortably stand and wait until Madison left with her suitor. Deciding to order another drink, something a little stronger than the beer you had been nursing, you make your way over to the bar.
Forearms leaning against the hard surface, you poke your head forward trying to get the bartender’s attention. She walks over, but immediately starts chatting up the guy standing next to you. Typical. If she pushed her boobs up a little bit he would probably leave a fat tip, so you couldn’t blame her.
You shift your eyes over to get a look at the guy next to you as he orders his gin and tonic, all you could see were his toned forearms and a glimpse of his profile. Not bad. You understood why the bartender was so eager to ignore you. She eventually stops fake laughing at his order, because what the fuck is funny about a gin and tonic, and looks your way.
“I’ll just have the same,” you say quickly, wanting to get out of there quickly and claim your spot by the wall.
“Are you copying me, love?” the stranger asks, leaning his bodyweight against the bar in the same position as you, “is that your move? Order the same drink to chat me up?”
“What’s your move, love” you quickly quip back, “being a dick to girls at the bar and hoping they’re into that?”
“You just didn’t strike me as a G and T type of girl, that’s all,” he puts his hands up defensively.
“Hmmm I see, be a dick and then tell me what kind of girl I seem like.”
You finally turn to him, allowing yourself to make eye contact. You hoped that he wasn’t taking your banter the wrong way, you weren’t trying to be nasty, you just found yourself in a particular mood.
He opened his mouth to say something back to you, but you cut him off before he could. In the two seconds you had made eye contact, you had realized that the stranger you were having your little back and forth with had an accent. A British accent.
“Are you here with that guy?” you gesture over to Madison on the dancefloor, “tall, blonde, striking blue eyes. English.”
“Harrison? Yeah, he’s my mate. If you’re interested in him you should probably have made your move a while ago, because he seems a bit occupied,” he chuckles.
“Yeah, occupied with my roommate,” you laugh back.
“Ah, I see,” he takes the two drinks from the bartender, handing you yours.
“Is he a good guy?” you ask, not sure why this man would tell you otherwise, “he’s not going to like, tie her up and murder her or anything like that?”
“Harrison? Nah, good guy, decent guy. He might tie her up, but he definitely won’t murder her.”
“Ha ha,” you sarcastically respond, “just looking out for my friend.”
“Why do you ask? You think they’ll go home together?” he asks.
“Oh, most definitely,” you tell him, “she dragged me into the bathroom a minute ago to gush about how she’s about to fuck a British guy.”
“Haz is a bit of a slag, so that won’t be too hard on her part.”
“Yeah, I see they are already well acquainted,” you turn to see Madison’s tongue down his throat. This night may be ending quicker than you had anticipated.
“I’m Tom,” he pulls your attention away from the public displays of affection and back to where he was seated at the bar, an empty seat opening up next to him.
“Y/N,” you stick out the hand that wasn’t holding your drink.
“It’s weird that you shake hands,” he says as he takes your clammy hand into his, his grip tighter than you had expected.
You shrug and take a gulp of your drink, abandoning hope of claiming the spot by the wall and deciding to camp out here with this strange British boy until Madison goes on her merry way.
“So how do you know him,” you nod back to where Harrison and Madison are.
“Oh, Haz is my best mate, we go way, way back,” he leans on his arm again, giving you a good view of his biceps against his black t-shirt, “we live in South London, but we’re here in the States for the summer. Work stuff.”
“Oh, so you two live together?” he nods at your question while sipping his drink, “so we can be sad and lonely at the bar while our hot roommates get it on.”
“Wow, I’ve never been told I’m lousy company before,” his humor met yours, “and I even paid for your drink you copycat.”
“You didn’t,” you give him a stern look but he shrugs back, a mischievous grin creeping across his face.
“Is this your ploy,” you smack the side of his arm, “the two of you find girls at the bar to lure back to your fancy apartment to have a freaky foursome with or something like that?”
“Now who’s being a dick and assuming things,” he says through broken laughs.
“Although,” you draw out your words, “your friend is pretty hot, maybe I’ll just go home with them.”
“Haz most certainly would not be opposed to that,” he jokes back.
You gesture to the bartender to make two more, and to put them on your tab. Tom gives you a look, but you give him one right back.
“Now I don’t owe you anything,” you explain.
“Hey, I’m not like that,” he gets defensive again, “I’m not quite as sleazy as my friend over there.”
“I’m just trying to help you out,” you narrow your eyes, “you’re the one who’s going to have to put up with the two of them all night.” You gesture over towards Madison and Haz.
“Pardon,” he coughs as he downs the rest of his drink, getting ready for the next.
“Oh, you thought they would be going back to our apartment?” you laugh sarcastically, “no, no, absolutely not.”
“Are you being serious? Or are you fucking with me? Cuz I honestly can’t tell.”
“Oh, you’re going to wish I was fucking with you. By the way she’s looking at him, I’m gonna give them, I don’t know, three, four solid rounds,” you try to make an empathetic face but can’t help the grin that creeps onto your face, “and Madison’s a screamer.”
“Too much information, thank you,” Tom covers his ears.
“Hey, I’m just trying to give you a heads up,” you cackle.
“Who’s to say he can’t convince them to go back to yours. I bet it’s closer.”
“She’s good at getting what she wants, and she “doesn’t shit where she eats”,” you make air quotes around the phrase, “in whatever twisted way that means she doesn’t like to bring guys back to our apartment. Weird personal rule, but I don’t question it cuz I always get to sleep peacefully.”
“You wanna bet?” Tom suggests, clearly not having thought this through, “My boy Haz is a smooth talker, and it seems like she really likes him. I say you’re the unfortunate roommate who’s going to have to put up with all that.”
“You’re on,” you set your drink down, extending your hand to him for the second time that night, “what do I get when they go back to your place?”
“If they go back to mine, I’ll cover your tab and leave you alone. And when they go back to yours, you’ll agree to let me take you out sometime,” he shakes your hand with a cocky grin on his face.
“Doesn’t seem like much of a bet, either way you’re buying me a drink.” He was growing on you, the accent, the floppy brown hair, the dimples. You were still wary of meeting strangers at bars, but something about him seemed genuine.
The two of you flipped around in your bar stools and faced the dancefloor. You liked that he never asked you to dance. Most girls would be dying to dance with a guy like Tom, but you liked just sitting at the bar, shooting the shit and sipping your drinks.
“Okay, okay, here they come,” you whisper and jab your elbow into his side.
Madison and Harrison stumble off the dancefloor and make their way to your place at the bar.
“Hey mate,” Harrison slings an arm around Tom’s shoulder.
You tune out their conversation as you notice Madison making a ridiculous face at you, eyes practically bugging out of her head.
“THAT’S his roommate?” she mouths to you, gesturing to Tom. You nod, trying to signal to her to be more subtle.
“Y/n, what the fuck?” she continues to mouth words silently to you.
“What???” you mouth back, trying to not let Tom and Harrison notice this awkward side conversation you were having. Luckily, they were occupied by their own.
“He’s fucking HOT,” She starts to whisper, you scrunch up your face, trying to tell her to stop making a scene about it. She gets the hint, but proceeds to point to you, point to Tom, and then do the finger going in and out of the hole gesture.
You slap her hand down as she starts to laugh, “Jesus Madison, cut it out,” you whisper, “you two are going back to his?” you change the subject.
“Yeah, obviously,” she says a little louder, “sooo, perfect opportunity for you…”
“Chill out, please,” you bring your hand to your temple, knowing she was being anything but subtle and Tom had probably noticed by this point.
“I owe you big time,” Harrison says to Tom as he starts to back away, taking Madison under his arm, “I’m serious bro.”
“Yeah, yeah, be safe you two,” Tom swats the air towards Harrison and turns back towards the bar, burying his head into his hands.
“Ha ha,” you poke his side, “told you that was a bad bet to make.”
“Know any cheap hotels around here?” Tom asks, looking exasperated.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” you look at him seriously, “he kicked you out for the whole night?”
“I offered,” Tom sighs, “he would do the same for me.”
“Damn, you’re a good friend. Certainly a better roommate than me,” you turn to him, trying to be sympathetic, “but honestly, you probably didn’t want to be present for any of that anyways.”
Tom gestures towards the bartender with his card, telling her to charge for both your bar tabs.
“You really didn’t have to do that,” you say.
“Hey, a bet is a bet, and now I’ll leave you alone if that’s what you want.”
You grab his arm as he starts to get up. Something inside of you told you to help him out, to not let him leave.
“It’s no Four Seasons, but I may know a place where you could kill a few hours,” you tell him, his eyes wide with excitement that you wanted to spend more time with him.
“You sure? It’s really no trouble…”
“Yeah, I’m sure, it’s only a few blocks from here.”
The two of you exit the loud club, only a few minutes behind Harrison and Madison. The stark contrast of the freezing outside air from the sweaty atmosphere of the club hits you. You take a few steps out onto the city sidewalk. Suddenly your feet buckle out underneath you and you are slipping backwards rapidly.
Tom quickly grabs you, one hand catching your shoulders and the other grabbing your hand, helping steady you. You gasp from the fall, but are grateful that you never hit the pavement.
“Hey, watch out for that patch of ice,” he jokes.
“Thank you,” you were a little flustered, both from falling and from being in his arms.
The two of you continue down the street, his hand still tightly gripping yours. You look at him questioningly, raising an eyebrow.
“Just making sure you don’t slip again, love,” he squeezes your hand a little tighter. You roll your eyes at him but don’t let go.
Typically, you would hate the pet names, “love,” “darling.” That stuff usually made your skin crawl. But there was something about his demeanor, maybe it was the accent, that made you not mind it at all. You actually kind of liked it.
“So where are you taking me?” he asks.
“Secret.”
It actually wasn’t anything worth keeping a secret. You worked at a small bar a few blocks away from the club you had been at. It was very different however. It was small, and never crowded other than a few regulars who would take the same booths and order the same drinks every night. It was down a side street, relatively difficult to find, hence the lack of business.
What you weren’t planning on telling Tom was that this was also the building you lived in. Your apartment was a few floors up. You picked up night and weekend shifts at the small bar to help cover rent, plus it wasn’t a bad place to spend your extra time. You never had to work too hard, and you could read or do homework behind the bar when not tending to customers. Plus, you got the pick the music.
You stomped your feet against the doormat, scraping all the collected snow off your shoes. Tom didn’t seem to be bothered that you had brought him to another bar, he seemed happy even. You watched his face intently as his cheeks grew rosy from the warmth of the indoors. You liked how the tips of his ears turned pink.
“Voila,” you gesture to the generally empty room, “the Four Seasons.”
He smiles at you and offers to take your coat. He makes his way over to the bar, choosing one of many empty seats. His eyebrows knit together as you continue walking away from him, hopping behind the bar.
“I’m not sure you’re allowed…” he starts.
“Hey Ernie,” you yell into the back office. Your boss replies with something muffled that Tom can’t quite make out, “no, not working tonight, just here with a friend,” you respond to him.
“Ah, so we’re friends now?” Tom asks as you start to make two drinks.
“Oh sorry,” you respond sarcastically, “I’m just here with the roommate of the guy who’s fucking my roommate, my bad.”
“No, no,” he brings his hands up, “we can be friends.”
He takes a sip of the drink you’ve handed him, asking you what it is.
“Moscow mule, fresh ginger, extra lime.”
“This is great, I’ve never had one of these.”
“What can I say, I’m kind of a pro,” you lean on the bar across from him, folding your arms on the countertop.
He liked your sense of humor, how you always had a comeback or something snarky to say. He also really liked your casual attitude, how you seemed unphased by everything. Little did he know you were constantly screaming inside, completely unsure of everything you said and did. Completely unsure as to how you ended up making a cocktail for one of the most attractive boys you’ve ever met. You tried to keep your cool though, and so far, it had been working.
You faced one another, sipping your drinks. At first an awkward moment of silence settled around you, exposing that the two of you truly had just met and knew virtually nothing about one another. You quickly slipped into easy conversation. You didn’t talk about the typical important things like where you worked, where you go to school, how you ended up in the city. You didn’t ask him why he was in the states, or any details about his personal life.
The stuff you talked about was far more personal than that. You exchanged theories about the ending of Lost, debated what Ben and Jerry’s flavor is best, shared the local vernacular and slang you used. These are the things that are important. You didn’t care what he did for work. But you did care what his favorite sitcom was.
“Does this place serve food at all?” he asked when your conversation had turned to what shape of pasta goes best with what sauces.
“Nah,” you gesture to the bar, “this is everything, no kitchen.”
“Damn, I could go for something to eat. Any good places around here?”
“Unfortunately, no. Everything near us either closed at midnight or will for sure give you food poisoning.”
He ate the lime out of his drink, sucking on the pulp until nothing but the skin was left.
“Really that hungry huh?” you joke, taking his lime wedge and tossing it in the garbage, “cuz I can cut up as many of those as you’d like, maybe even find you some maraschino cherries.”
“Don’t bother, maybe I’ll just drink myself into an oblivion.”
“Hey, don’t do that,” you were going against your better judgment when you said this, but it just slipped out, “I can get you some food, follow me.”
You walked around from behind the bar and instructed him to follow you. You slipped through a back door into a spiraling staircase. The air was cold and musty, and the stairs were slightly rickety under your feet. This was the fastest way to get up to your apartment, and you realized now it was too late to turn back, he had joined you in the stairwell and you started making your way up.
“You were worried about your roommate getting murdered by Haz, but now I’m starting to think I should be the one worried,” his tone was joking, but you wondered if he actually thought you were crazy.
“Very funny,” you dismissed it as a joke, “I live in this building, smarty pants.”
You raced him up a few flights of stairs until you arrived at your floor. You started down the hall, not looking back to see if he was following. Your breath grew a little shaky as you searched for your key, realizing you were letting this stranger, this hot stranger into your apartment.
You were just going to make him some food, you remind yourself. Maybe if he’s lucky you’ll let him crash on your couch, who knows. You kept telling yourself you had no reason to be this nervous. He’s just a person.
A person with big brown eyes and strong arms. A person who held your hand and laughed at your jokes. A person who willingly followed you to your apartment door from the sketchy bar you brought him to. Oh god, maybe you did have a reason to be nervous.
“It’s a little messy, hope you don’t mind,” you open the door for him, taking off your shoes at the door.
Your apartment was small, but cozy. You and Madison had been living there for almost two years now, and the apartment was well lived in. Funny pictures donned the walls, fuzzy blankets were strewn around the couches, leftovers filled the fridge.
“What’s on the menu?” he asks, reminding you that he’s here for food.
“Hmmm,” you open the pantry, “we have supplies for stir fry, and… stir fry.”
“I think I’ll have the stir fry,” he laughs, comfortably taking a seat at your small kitchen table.
You quickly started gathering ingredients on the counter, preheating the pan.
“Any preferences?” you yell into the next room.
“I’m not picky,” he responds, “thanks again.”
You start chopping up everything in your fridge and toss it into a pan with some leftover rice. It doesn’t take you long to whip up a decent meal, as stir fry was a recurring meal in your life. You glide into the living room, two bowls in hand. He had found your speaker system and taken it upon himself to put on some music, not that you minded.
“Fuck,” he mumbles after a few mouthfuls, “either I’m starving, or you make a mean fried rice.”
“One of my many specialties,” you were glad that he liked it, glad that he seemed so relaxed despite being in a stranger’s home.
“You’re pretty cool, do you know that?” he took you by surprise
“Umm,” you weren’t sure how to respond to the compliment.
“I just haven’t really met anyone nice since moving here. Haz is really the only other person I know,” he says through bites of food, “and meeting random girls at bars isn’t really a decent way to get to know people, not really know them anyways.”
You were flattered that he was being so honest, but part of you wondered if he was buttering you up to try and get into your pants. You had let him pay for your drinks, taken him to a secondary location, and then cooked him dinner at 2 am, he really would have no reason not to believe you wanted to sleep with him. And you did, oh god did you want to sleep with him, but you were still trying to get a read, was he a flirt like this with everyone? Were you just the girl who happened to be in the right seat at the bar at the right time?
This was why you could never follow through with casual bar hookups. Your  mind ran circles around the other person, who they were, where their motivations were coming from. You could never just focus on the fact that you thought he was hot, and you wanted his dick in your mouth.
“Thanks, I guess, you’re kind of cool too,” you avoided eye contact, “but you realize that I am a random girl you met at a bar, right?”
He laughed at your response, finishing his food and taking both of your empty plates into the kitchen. You tried to stop him, but he insisted that you had done the cooking so he would do the dishes, you chose not to argue.
“Yeah but most girls at the bar don’t make me dinner,” he retorts. He had a point, this was kind of an unusual situation you found yourself in. Would this have been easier if you had met him a different way? Rubbed up on him like Madison and Harrison and scurried off to the closest bed? Probably. They were probably already at least two rounds in by now.
“I’ve never taken someone home from the bar before,” oh god, why did you just say that. Why were you being vulnerable and honest, tell him you’re a pro, that you do this all the time.
“Really? I’m surprised,” his tone was nonchalant, so maybe your awkward outburst of truth hadn’t shaken him like you thought it would, “why not?”
“Why not?” you repeat his question to yourself, “I’m just not really good at this kind of stuff, not like you.”
“Are you kidding me?” He turns from the sink to see you leaning against the counter across from him, “You were the one who wined and dined me.”
“I hardly consider stir fry and a vodka mixer to be wining and dining,” you tried to cover up your embarrassment.
“Jeez, then I’d like to experience whatever you consider to be wining and dining, cuz I’m having a great time.”
“What’s your last name?” you ask quickly, suddenly changing the subject
“Holland,” he tells you, “why?”
“I just figured I should know your full name, Tom Holland, if I’m gonna let you sleep in my apartment. You know, in case I have to report you to the police cuz you’ve robbed me or murdered my cat or something.”
“No offense but it doesn’t really look like you have anything worth stealing, and I’m pretty sure you don’t have a cat,” he laughs
“Both true,” you were laughing too. Still in the kitchen, you weren’t sure how to migrate somewhere else.
“You’re sure though? I don’t want to impose. I really can just go find a cheap motel, or go back to my place and crash the orgy that’s probably happening,” he didn’t want to stay if you weren’t comfortable.
“No worries,” you start moving to the living room, “you can make it up to me some other time. I promise you don’t want to be going back to whatever noises are happening in your apartment right now.”
You truly would have been content with him sleeping on the couch, slipping out the next morning, and never speaking again. Well, no. That wasn’t true. You wouldn’t be content, but you’d live with it. You didn’t want to assume anything, didn’t want to make a fool of yourself.
“So,” you start, obviously about to make a fool of yourself, “I can get you some blankets, and you can sleep out here. Or, if you want, we can share my bed. It’s up to you and I won’t be offended either way, I swear.”
Why did you always say things that made you feel so stupid. You winced at your own statement, not wanting to see his reaction. He took a few steps towards you, standing close, but not as close as you would have liked. You continue to look away, waiting for him to say something.
Eyes down on the carpet, you feel his hand grab your chin softly, angling your head up to meet his.
“And when we share your bed,” the breath of his words hitting your face, “are we just going to sleep, or are we...” Although his voice was cool and confident, he was genuinely asking. He had a hard time reading you, and wasn’t sure if you wanted him as badly as he wanted you, or if you were just being nice.
“The second one, definitely the second one,” you reply a little too quickly before he pulls your face to his, lips finally meeting.
His face was warm, and he smiled into the kiss, loving the way your round lips felt on his. He let his hands move to the sides of your face, cradling your jaw as his mouth moved against you. You pulled him closer to you by the grip you had on his t-shirt, the white fabric balled up in your nervous grip. You pulled him backwards with you, navigating your way down the hall.
Taking an intermission on the minute walk down to your bedroom, he presses you up against the wall of the hallway, shoulders angled above yours and mouth still hot against you. You reach your hands towards his, wanting to show him that he had control, that you wanted him to take control of you.
Getting your message, he takes your wrists together in one hand and pins them against the wall above you. His hips jut forward into yours as his wet kisses trail from the corner of your mouth down to your neck.
“Fuck, I-” you moan breathily as he sucks a spot below your ear, your hips rolling forward to meet his. All the while his grip remained tight on your wrists, keeping them steadily pinned above your head. You liked the feeling of letting go, having someone else control the situation. You were generally uptight and liked to take control in other aspects of your life, but this is one that you wanted to submit to.
“You what?” he responds with a steady voice, brown eyes burning holes into you. You knew your face was probably flushed red, hair a complete mess, and neck littered with splotches.
“I want you to fuck me,” you whisper shakily, “Please.”
Letting go of your arms and lifting you up by your thighs in one swift motion, he takes you by surprise as your face falls into his neck.
“This one yours?” he starts walking down to the end of the hall.
“Mhmm,” you mumble as you start to return the favor, licking up and down the base of his neck until you found his sweet spot. Suddenly you were falling back as he playfully tossed you onto your bed, sheets unmade, and blankets bunched up.
You land in a heap, quickly moving to take your shirt off. He moves quicker, practically tackling you down onto the mattress, causing you both to laugh a little.
“Hey,” he protests, “I wanted to do that.” He takes you hands and moves them as he had done before, and lifts your shirt off your body, you arch your back to help.
He slides his arm underneath you, causing your back to stay arched, pressing your chest into his. He slips his tongue back into your mouth, meanwhile he shimmies out of his jeans, letting them fall to the floor with your abandoned shirt.
Something between a gasp and a whimper escapes your lips as his other hand snakes its way into your damp underwear. Your hands lurch up into his hair, pulling his face into yours as he starts to draw slow circles up and down your lips.
He finally slips a finger into you, causing a guttural moan to stir deep in your throat. You bite your lip to hold the noises back, eyes fluttering shut as he slowly pumps into you. His face comes back into focus as he steadies your head, running his thumb across your lower lip, tugging it away from your teeth.
Instinctually you wrap your lips around his finger, letting your tongue drag itself across his digit. You open your mouth up from its pucker, letting him alternate his thumb with his index and middle fingers, letting those slip into your warm mouth as well. You match the movements of his hand in your pussy with your mouth, sucking down on his fingers every time he re-entered you.
“Fuck Y/N,” he groans, his cock throbbing in his boxer briefs, “I didn’t realize you’d be so dirty.”
You grew a little self-conscious at his comment, opening your mouth so he could remove his fingers.
“It’s so fucking sexy,” he drags the pads of his fingers down your tongue. He moves them down and drags the warm wetness from your saliva down your throat and onto your nipples that were now slipped out of the top of your bra.
You buck your hips into his hand and moan, loving the way he was above you, fucking you with his strong hand, fingers much bigger than your own. You felt his pulsing erection pressing into your lower thigh, and groaned at the thought of him filling you up.
“Tommy,” you didn’t mean to use the nickname, but it slipped out, “condoms are in the shoebox in my bedside drawer, if you want to fuck me.”
He removed his fingers from you, bringing them up to his lips to lick them clean. Your eyelids fluttered at the sight, grinding your hips up into his to show him how bad you wanted him. His shirt came off and joined the pile of your clothes that was slowly growing larger on your floor. You expected him to be fit based on his arms, but he was stacked, built, unreal.
He clearly liked the attention, a cocky smile creeping across his face as your mouth hung slightly open, eyes dragging across his perfect body. He tugs on the waistband of your pants, that were mostly slipped off at this point, to signal to you to remove them while he rummaged through your bedside drawer.
You maneuver your way into a comfortable position, now completely naked, head resting back on a pillow. He was taking a little longer than you expected, pushing and prodding things around.
“They should be right there, blue box? Probably unopened?” you chuckle trying to make light of the situation. The smile is wiped clean off your face as soon as you heard a faint buzzing, then it stopped, then it started again. Condom in hand, as well as your purple vibrator, he climbs back on the bed up to you.
“You are dirty,” he says, trying not to laugh, “I fucking knew it.”
“Hey, you were not supposed to find that!” You try to snatch it out of his hand but he pulls away too quickly.
“You told me shoebox in the nightstand! What were you expecting me to find? You have like eight of these!”
“I do not own eight! I own five, and they are all different and special in their own ways!” you argue back, both laughing now as he jokingly pressed the vibrating wand into your side.
“You keep all kinds of fun stuff in there, huh?” he was not going to let it go. So what, you kept a few…personal items in a secret box in your nightstand, condoms included. You didn’t think he would look around and take an inventory. Your lack of finesse with strangers in bars was made up for by your wide array of battery-operated boyfriends. It wasn’t your fault that the online shop you ordered from sent free gifts when you spent over $100…like fuzzy handcuffs and cherry flavored lube.
The two of you laughed for a minute, both in nothing but your underwear. You were laughing, but the idea of him fucking you with one of your toys quickly made a crimson blush flush over your face. 
“Like I said darling,” he drags the vibrator down your stomach to meet your clothed pussy, “you’re fucking sexy.”
Your hips naturally buck up against his touch, arms snaking their way around his neck to pull his face down to yours. His strong fingers, much thicker than your own, re-entered you as he pressed the vibrator firmly against your clit. 
You couldn’t help but moan into his wet mouth as he fucked his fingers into you.
“Please,” you whimper, “fuck, Tom, please fuck me. I need you so bad.”
“Only because you asked so nicely,” he whispers into your ear, somehow making your pussy wetter than it already is. 
He pulls out of you, causing you to groan at the loss of contact. He tosses his boxers off, revealing his rock hard cock that springs up to his lower stomach. You mouth practically started watering at the sight. He pumps his hand a few times and then rolls the condom on.
You manage to move your shaky legs enough to slip your underwear and bra off. You didn’t have the mental capacity to be self conscious about being naked in front of him, because you were far too occupied drooling over his body. 
“How do you want me?” you ask innocently, not meaning to moan out the words as you did. 
“Flip over,” he gestures for you to get on all fours, and your knees got weak at the thought. 
You positioned your ass up in the air, open and ready for him. You let out a sharp breath as he slides the tip of his cock up and down your folds, teasing you before finally pushing inside. He only pushes in part way though, waiting for your reaction. 
“Fuck, Tommy,” you try to roll your hips back onto him, but he firmly grips your ass and keeps you in position. 
“You need to learn how to be patient, pretty girl,” he slowly pulls your hips back to meet his, agonizingly slow but so fucking good at the same time. 
Your eyes began to water because of how good his cock felt pushed all the way into you, you wanted him to move so bad, but he wanted to torture you, make you wait for it. 
“Please, will you please fuck me, I need it,” you sounded so desperate, but you knew he liked it, liked hearing how badly you wanted him. 
He starts moving in and out of you, firm grip on your ass never wavering. Quiet moans left his mouth as he fucked into you, causing your eyes to practically roll into the back of your head. He leans down to place a soft kiss on your shoulder blade, despite how viciously he's pounding into you. His head cranes down to your shoulder, his hand coming up to brush your hair out of your face. 
As his long fingers move your hair behind your ear, you push your head back into his hand, not wanting to lose contact. He tentatively runs his hands up into your hair, taking a soft grip on your roots.
“Is this what you want?” he whispers, “you like it rough?”
“Yes,” you manage to squeak out, “fuck, pull my hair, spank me, do whatever the fuck you want to me, please.”
He took that as a clear green light to yank back on your hair, causing your back to arch more. He keeps fucking you relentlessly, filling the room with sounds of skin slapping against skin. The obscene noises coming from your mouth only encouraged him to fuck you harder, pull your hair harder, grip your hips harder. 
With little warning you feel him suddenly slip out of you, and before you could turn around to ask how he wanted you next, you feel his hands grab tightly to the back of your thighs, keeping you propped up exactly as you are. You feel his hot tongue enter your warm pussy from the back, quickly licking wide stripes up your folds. 
“Holy shit,” your brain could not process the pleasure you were feeling fast enough. 
He starts to feel your thighs shake under his grasp, knowing that you are close. He wanted to make you come, and hard, as a special thank you for inviting him up to your place. And that he did. 
He sucked harshly on your clit, hips tilted all the way back for him, giving him perfect access. You couldn't even articulate to him how good he was making you feel. You were moaning so loud you were worried the neighbors could hear, so you take a fistful of sheets and bury your mouth in them, muffling your sounds. You legs began to violently shake as he lapped up your juices, bringing a harsh slap down onto your ass. Your hips fell to the mattress as soon as he let go. 
He grabs your waist and helps you flip over so you lay flat on your back. He hovers over you, placing a gentle kiss to your lips. You feel his hard cock pressing into your core, begging for entrance. 
“You good?” he asks as your eyes finally focus, your brain coming back down to earth, “do you want to keep going?” he asks genuinely.
“I’m so fucking good,” you bring him down into a more passionate kiss, pressing your hips up into his erection, “I want nothing more than for you to fuck the shit out of me.”
“Thank god, cuz I want to feel that pretty pussy of yours come all over my cock.” 
His words sent shivers down your spine, more so as he pushed back into your sopping wet cunt, finding a quick rhythm fucking into you. He presses your thighs back with his large hands, hitting you at the perfect angle. Your mouth gapes open watching his perfect body thrust into you. How the fuck did you get so lucky? Is this a dream? Possibly. 
You notice a smirk creep onto his face, he raises his eyebrows and gives you a look. 
“You didn’t think I forgot about this, did you?” he grabs the purple vibrator from the side of the bed and flicks the switch on. 
You all but explode as he brings it down to your throbbing clit. The addition of the vibrations to his cock hitting your g-spot perfectly sent you into one of the most body-shaking orgasms of all time. If that wasn’t enough, you open your eyes to see his perfect hand wrapping around your throat, applying exactly the right amount of pressure to your neck.
You can’t say anything other than his name over and over as your walls begin to contract around him. You throw your head back as you see stars. He lets his grip on your neck go and leans down to capture you in a kiss, wanting to connect with you as you reached your peak. 
Making intense eye contact, you watch as he bites his lip, savoring the feeling of you coming undone around him. You frantically bring your hands to the back of his head, tangling them in his messy hair as you come down from possibly the most intense orgasm of your life. 
“Holy fuck baby, feel so good around me, fuck, gonna make me come soon,” he pants between thrusts. 
“Mmmm,” you were still fucked-out from your orgasm, “I want it in my mouth.”
His eyes practically fell out of his head at your comment, lips coming down to attack your breasts that had been wildly bouncing each time he pressed into you. In one swift motion he managed to flip you over. You slide down between his legs and start pumping his cock, not wanting to lose momentum.
You wrap your lips around his head, feeling his shaft twitch under your hand. Swirling your tongue around the tip while quickly jerking him off quickly pushes him over the edge, his come filling your mouth along with your saliva. 
His hips jerk up as he comes, pushing his length further into your throat, but you don’t mind, in fact you kind of like it. You watch his expression as you swallow his come, making big doe eyes at him. You lick your lips a little and crawl back up to meet his face. 
Flopping down next to him, you let your sweaty body fall into rhythm with his deep breaths.    
“I-,” he starts, turning to meet your face, “I don’t even know what to say, that was fucking incredible.”
You turn your head away from him, pretending to act shy. 
“I fucking mean it, you’re perfect.”
Your cheeks actually turn pink at this. You press your head to his chest, telling him you liked it a lot too. More than liked it. 
“I don’t know if this is weird, if I should go…” he starts to move.
“Offer still stands of course,” you grab his hand, wanting to feel his chest against your cheek again, “couch or bed is all yours.”
“Bed please,” he flops back down next to you and lets you tangle up in his arms, “as long as we can do that again in the morning. You have all those fun toys, I need to try them all out on you.” 
The two of you quickly fall asleep, naked and basking in your post sex bliss, a huge smile on your face. 
The next morning you hear keys jangling in the front door. Opening your groggy eyes, you don’t have time to fully wake up and register what is happening before you hear Madison knocking at your door. 
She barges in, wanting to tell you all about her night with Haz. 
“Holy FUCK y/n, I-” she starts before seeing the figure next to you in bed. 
You frantically grab the sheets to cover yourself up and make a wild gesture to tell her to get out. She silently breaks into a huge grin, waving her arms around and pumping her fists in the air. You keep gesturing for her to get out, but she continues to victory dance on your behalf. 
You knew you would never hear the end of this.

happy valentine's day 🥰 i know it probably doesn't mean much coming from someone with social anxiety so bad they won't even come off anon, but the amount you've written today is amazing ☺️ i could never lol
also. what about one where the reader and five have been kind of tense and arguing (nothing relationship wrecking just annoying) so as like a v-day prank she replaces all of his stuff with pink sparkly versions. this has been in my head all week but i just can't get five's character right like you 🥺
1. as someone with mental health battles of their own, never think that the fact you have to fight for what comes easy for neurotypical people is cause to devalue yourself. a happy valentine’s day and request means a lot whether there’s a name attached or not.
2. I feel like everything I’ve written today has been subpar, so thank you so much for the compliment. I needed it!
3. 
You were dating a complete asshole.
You knew this before you started dating him of course, but there were moments where you forgot. Where you saw a soft side or a kindness to him, and thought maybe the assholery was just a facade--a guard he put up to keep people from getting to know the real him, the vulnerable him. 
And then he always went ahead and reminded you that nope, he was an asshole through and through.
This week he’d really gone all out though. Conversations had been terse and brief, and if you said even one thing slightly wrong he’d scoff and go off on his own for hours. 
You’d complained about your boss’ decree that there’d be no Valentine’s Day celebration or decorations and he’d gone ahead and taken his side instead of yours. If he’d even kept his mouth shut and just ignored you, that would have been preferable.
And while you knew that things were tense right now--that there was a mission that was taking longer than expected and not going as planned and that the more time he spent attempting to coordinate his siblings the more irritable he got--you’d think he’d learn a few coping strategies and adult the fuck up.
And sure maybe you were also a tiny bit blame because rather than acknowledging that this was only temporary and it really wasn’t about you, you let it get to you. 
But most of the blame lay on Five and his ability to absolutely wreck your mood going into your favorite holiday. Not that you intended to let that asshole ruin Valentine’s day for you. You would enjoy your Valentine’s Day even if you weren’t going to spend it the way you would have chosen. 
It was a simple plan really. Petty and stupid as well, but well worth the lost sleep.
You spent the night systematically removing each trace of Five from you shared apartment and replacing it with a garish, pink, sparkly object instead. 
His shirts? All with cartoony Valentine’s Day prints. Same with his ties.
His travel mug? A glittery fuchsia monstrosity with the words “Hot Stuff” written large, looping cursive. 
All of his pens and notebooks were packed away and replaced with glitter pens with feathers at the top and Valentine’s Day notebooks with increasingly bad puns.
I'm bananas for you.
You're one in a melon.
Let's avocuddle.
You decorated the apartment with every single vaguely Valentine’s Day related item you could find across three different stores.
And then, because you were petty and mad and wanted him to know that this was very much on purpose, you wrote him a card--Happy Valentine’s day to my second favorite asshole--and stuck it to the coffee machine before walking out the door to beat the rush to work.
Tumblr media
“What the fuck?” Five appeared in your cubicle, and the rest of your co-workers looked up at him, hands clasping over their mouths to muffle snorts and giggles at the sight of him.
“Oh, did you do this for me?” you asked with fake sincerity, reaching out to smooth his heart speckled tie and Valentine’s Day Snoopy shirt. “You didn’t have to.”  Your smile turned positively devilish as Five glared at you. 
You could see the frustration building up in him so that he was actually shaking. “Everything,” he ground “is fucking pink.” 
You looked from your left to your right with exaggerated confusion at the grey walls of your cubicle.
“Y/N-” he started before cutting himself off with a quick look over to your co-workers who were still staring on in interest. He took your hand and pulled you with him towards the elevators and out of view of everyone else.
“Why?” Five pushed the word through ground teeth, and the smile you gave him was very much genuine. 
“I wanted to celebrate my favorite holiday,” you shrugged. 
“And we couldn’t have just...done dinner?” 
You scoffed. “With how you’ve been over the last week? I’m not taking you out into public.”
“How I’ve been?” he repeated, and you rolled your eyes.
“You’ve been a dick five. A grade A asshole. Anytime I ask question you’re jumping down my throat, and if I want to do something you pull the plug immediately. I wanted to have some fun, so--” you gestured at him. 
To your surprise Five sighed and shook his head, his shoulders slumping a bit. “Ok, I deserve this. I’m sorry my siblings--” 
You made a buzzer noise.
“I’m sorry I’ve been stressed because of--”
You made another buzzer noise.
“I’m sorry I’ve been an asshole.”
You pointed a finger at him, gesturing that he’d gotten it correct and smiled. “Wait here.” 
You returned in two minutes with one of his normal shirts, ties, and jacket and passed it over to him. “Here.” 
“Thank you,” he said, accepting them. 
“But you’re not done paying for your behavior,” you said, holding up an accusatory finger, and he nodded. “You’ve got a lot of work ahead of you tonight if you really want to make it up to me.” 
A sly smile crossed Five’s lips. “I look forward to it.”

Dog Tags
 Summary: Tony holds a ball, and your boyfriend get’s a little distracted when he sees you.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader 
Word Count: 2,427
Warnings: there’s a lot of dialogue in this i’m sorry. swearing. smut. oral (male and female receiving) 
Tumblr media
You pop your lips together as you finish applying your red lipstick, Bucky’s favorite shade. Tonight is the ball Tony has been planning for a while. No one really knows why, he just felt the need to throw a party.
You had the perfect dress, a strapless, sparkly navy blue dress with a slit up the left leg. You have on a new red lingerie that you bought just for tonight. A knock at the door brings you out of your thoughts, “Y/N? Can I come in?” It’s Bucky
“One second! I’m still getting my dress on.” You quickly grab the dress off the hanger and slip it on, “You can come in now.” 
Moments later the door opens, Bucky’s jaw drops, “God doll...” He steps closer to you and puts his hands on your hips, “You look absolutely breath taking.” He whispers, kissing you gently. 
“Thank you, my love. You look quite dashing yourself,” You smile, “Mind helping me zip this up?” You turn around and pull your hair out of the way. 
“Of course.” Bucky zips your dress up for you and gives a light tap on your ass. 
“James.” You warn. 
“Oh pulling out the first name are we?” Bucky chuckles, wrapping his arms around you. 
“That I am,” You giggle, “Fuck I still need jewelry.” You go to your dresser and put on your rings, one being the promise ring Bucky gave you for Christmas this past year. While you’re rummaging through your necklaces trying to find one that will match, Bucky slips one around your neck. 
You look down at them, “Buck... Are these-” 
“My dog tags.” 
The metal is cold on your neck, “Bucky are you sure?” 
“They look gorgeous on you, doll. I wouldn’t want anyone else wearing them.” 
“Thank you, love. I love you.” 
“I love you,” Bucky kisses your head, “And you’re lucky we’re already late or I’d be pounding you into that mattress. I’ll save that for tonight.” He whispers.
Your eyes go wide and your breath gets caught in your throat. 
“Now let’s go before we’re any later that we already are.” 
Still in shock, you grab your navy stilettos and slip them on, grabbing Bucky’s hand and following him out of your room. 
The small comment remains in your head the entire way to where the party is being held. 
“Why is Tony doing this again?” Bucky asks, rubbing his thumb on the back of your hand. 
“Becuase “I’m Tony fucking Stark and I can do whatever the fuck I want,” as he put it.” You reply. 
After a thirty minute drive you arrive. Bucky holds the door open for you and the two of you walk in hand in hand. Wanda runs up to you as soon as she realizes you’re here. 
“Y/N! Finally!” Wanda hugs you, “You look hot!” 
“You look hotter! If i wasn’t taken I’d defiantly hit you up.” You wink and blow Wanda a kiss. 
“I’m right here.” Bucky sighs. 
“Bucky! Go talk to Stevie! I’m stealing yo girl.” Wanda grabs your hand and drags you to the bar. 
“There’s a lot more people than I expected.” You sigh, sitting on a stool next to Wanda. 
“I know. It’s very loud too.” 
“Who all do you think is here?” 
“All the Avengers, most of S.H.I.E.L.D. and probably random millionaires Tony knows.” 
“I’m already tired and I just got here.” You chuckle, pushing your hair behind your ear.
“Me too girl, me too- OH MY GOD!” Wanda squeals, “Are those Bucky’s tags?” 
“They are. He gave them to me earlier.” You smile, holding the dog tags in your fingers. 
You and Wanda continue talking when two glasses of whiskey are sat in front of you. 
“Um we didn’t order these.” Wanda smiles. 
“They’re from the gentlemen over there.” The bartender motions to our left. 
“Ohh,” Wanda smiles, “Thank you.” 
“Well I’m not gonna turn down a free drink.” You smirk, taking a sip of the alcohol. 
“Me neither,” You and Wanda cheers your drinks, “I’m going to go find Vision. I’ll be right back. You’ll be okay, right? I can send Bucky your way if I see him.” 
“I’ll be fine. Go find your man.” You smile as Wanda walks off. A few moments later one of the men who ordered your drinks comes up to you. 
“Is this seat taken?” He asks. 
“No, go ahead.” You say, having no intention at all of speaking to the man. 
“How’s your night going, beautiful.” He asks, you turn your nose up in disgust. 
“Good, yours?” You say, trying to be polite. 
“Better now that I’m talking to you.” 
You roll your eyes and take a sip of your drink. A loud crash makes you turn your attention to your left, away from the man. You see that the bartender just dropped a bottle. 
What you didn’t see, was the man next to you slipping something in your drink. 
Your fingers wrap around the glass, you start to take a drink when-
“Y/N!” You let go of the glass and turn around to see Steve. 
“Oh hey Steve!” 
“Y/N come with me, I want to show you something.” Steve grabs your arm and pulls you to the dance floor, “Dance with me?” 
“Only if I don’t have to be the man this time.” You smile, wrapping your arms around Steve’s neck, his hands rest on your hips. 
“Bucky’s in the bathroom, there’s a really long line so he asked me to come check on you. Then I saw that guy slip something in your drink.” 
Your eyes widen, “He what?” 
“When you looked away he roofied your drink.” Steve says, glancing back at the man. 
“That mother fucker.” You go to walk towards him to give him a piece of your mind when Steve’s grip on your waist tightens. 
“No. Tony’s taking care of him.” 
“We can’t tell Bucky, he’ll freak.” 
“Tony probably already notified him.” 
The two of you are silent for a minute, “Thank you Steve. You really saved my ass. God knows what would’ve happened.” 
“You don’t have to thank me, Y/N.” Steve smiles. 
The two of you continue dancing until Bucky approaches you, “Can I cut in?” 
“Of course. It was a pleasure dancing with you Miss L/N.” Steve kisses your knuckles. 
“Likewise Mr Rodgers.” You laugh and Steve walks away. 
Bucky kisses your knuckles, your arms wrap around his neck and his hands go on your waist. The two of you are much closer than you and Steve were. 
“Tony told me about that man.” 
You sigh, “Why do I have a feeling you did something.” 
“Because I did.” 
“Bucky...” 
“Tony and I just talked to him. And a couple punches. Fury fired him too.” 
“You satisfied?” You roll your eyes and smile. 
“Not really.” Bucky smirks and kisses you. 
The night goes on. You dance mostly with Nat and Wanda, but you steal quiet a few dances with Bucky, another with Steve, and one with Tony. You don’t drink anymore, aside from a few drinks you took from Bucky’s glass. Almost everyone is drunk or at least tipsy. Aside from you, and the two super soldiers as alcohol doesn’t affect them. 
You’ve spent half the night pulling your dress up so it doesn’t fall. Stupid strapless dresses. Bucky’s been eyeing you all night. You’ve made it a point to rub your ass against him as much as possible, as well as swaying your hips a lot more when dancing. 
“Hey baby.” You kiss his jaw. 
“Hey doll.” 
“I love youuuuu.” You smile, kissing his temple. 
“I love you too, babydoll.” Bucky’s grip on his drink tightens. 
You kiss his jaw again, this time biting him gently. 
“I think it’s time to go home, doll.” He says grabbing your hand and leading you outside. You don’t protest, following him. 
“Buck I’m in heels! I’m gonna fall.” You huff. Bucky stops and picks you up, throwing you over his shoulder. 
The car ride to the compound was silent, aside from Bucky tapping his foot, or the occasional kiss. 
When the car stops, Bucky opens the door for you. As soon as you get out of the car he shuts the door, and picks you back up. 
“Buckyyyyy.” You groan. Bucky sits you back down once you’re in the elevator. 
“You’ve been a very bad girl.” He growls, pinning you against the wall. 
“I’m sorryyy,” You drag out the word, “It’s hard not to tease when you were staring at me all night.” 
“It’s hard not to stare when you’re literally the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever laid eyes on.” His lips connect to your neck. The elevator dings and the doors open. Bucky grabs your hand and pulls you towards your room. Once the door is shut he attacks your lips and face with kisses. 
You kick off your heels and moan at the feeling of flat ground. Bucky’s hands unzip your dress, the fabric falls off your body and pools around your feet. 
Bucky doesn’t say anything when he sees the red lingerie. 
“Do you like it?” You ask, looking up with big e/c eyes. 
“You look stunning, as always. As much as i love it, I need it off you. Now.” 
You lock eyes with him as one hand reaches behind your back and unclasps the bra, letting it drop to the ground. Bucky’s lips attach to your nipple, his hand kneading the other. You moan as he softly bites your nipple. 
“I was gonna take it slow with you tonight, fuck you slow and gentle until you’re begging me to fuck you rough and fast. But with the way you acted tonight, and the way you looked in that dress...” Bucky leads you to the bed and pushes you down. His lips kiss up your neck and stop at your ear, “I’m going to completely destroy you.” He growls, unbuttoning his shirt and discarding it on the floor. 
You feel butterflies in your core, “Please..” 
Bucky presses a finger to your clothed core, earning a quiet gasp. You open your legs wider. Bucky pulls your panties off. Skilled fingers rubbing your clit. 
“Get on your knees, doll.” 
You quickly get up and sink to your knees. Immediately taking off his belt and sliding his pants and boxers down. His erection springs free. You lick your lips and press a kiss to the tip, a low groan leaves Bucky’s throat. Your eyes meet his as you sink your mouth around all of him. Bucky pushes your hair out of your face and holds it for you. 
You hollow your cheeks and swirl your tongue around his length, bobbing your head up and down. 
“F-Fuck. You’re doing so good babydoll.” 
You fiddle with his balls as you continue to deep throat him, your eyes start to water a bit. You pull your mouth off him and look up to meet his eyes, your lips red and swollen. 
Bucky helps you up and kisses you, “You’re such a good girl for me.” He lays you on the bed and parts your legs, leaving sloppy kisses up your thighs. His eyes meet yours and he stops over your pussy, wanting to make sure you’re still okay with this. You nod, and he licks up your slick. A loud moan leaves your lips as he quickly laps at your folds. 
“Fuck... Bucky as much as I love you and your sinful mouth I need you inside me.” 
Bucky stops his motions, “Hands and knees.” He mutters, grabbing a condom out of the drawer and rolling it onto his cock. You get on your hands and knees, sticking your ass up in the air. Your wetness dripping out of you. “Are you ready?” He asks, lining up with your entrance. 
“Fuck yes.” 
He slowly slides into you, you moan at the feeling of him filling you up, but he slides completely out. As you go to protest he snaps his length back inside you. A small scream leaves your lips. Your face pressed into the mattress as he pounds inside you at an ungodly pace. Low grunts come from Bucky. His cock twitching inside you as he slams his hips to meet yours. 
His thumb reaches down to speedily rub circles on your clit, and his hand places a hard slap on your ass. 
“Bucky!” You moan, the combination of him pounding into you and his fingers stimulating your clit bring you to the edge fast, “I-I’m gonna cum.” 
“Go ahead baby.” He says, quickening his fingers on your clit. You moan loudly into the mattress, your hands gripping the sheets as your orgasm rushes through you. Goosebumps appear on your skin and your legs begin to shake as you come down from the mind blowing orgasm. Bucky slowly slides out of you. 
“Buck wait you didn’t finish.” You say, sitting up on your knees. 
“I know.” He says, sitting at the headboard. He motions for you to sit on his lap. You straddle him, putting your arms around his neck. He brushes his lips against yours as you sink down onto him. You gasp as he fills you up.
Slowly you start to bounce on him, rolling your hips slightly. Your nails dig into his shoulders as you quicken your pace. You reach one hand down to rub your clit again, slamming your lips against Bucky’s. He takes your wrist and pulls it off your clit, you groan against his lips. His fingers replace yours and his hips snap up unintentionally. 
Your second orgasm comes faster than you expected it to. Your motions become sloppy as you get closer and closer to release. Bucky holds your hips and helps you ride out the orgasm. All your movements stop as shockwaves burst through you. Your pussy clenches around Bucky and as you come down from your high he hits his own orgasm. 
Strings of profanities leave his lips as he cums inside the condom. The two of you sit in silence, breathing heavily. 
“You look so good above me, with my dog tags around your neck.” Bucky smirks, looking at the dog tags that sit above your breasts. 
“Guess I’ll have to ride you more often then.” You smirk, kissing him. 
“I guess so.” Bucky mutters, against your lips. 
Your phone goes off, you glance at the nightstand to see a text from Steve. 
Stevie: Let me know when you two are done up there. I don’t want to be anymore traumatized than I was when I got home. Please use protection.

Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little over a week after your romantic evening, things seemed to be moving in the right direction. You felt less like a live in nurse, nanny, maid, and chef. You actually felt like his soulmate now. You weren’t sure if it was the unplanned vocalization of feelings, or the romantic dinner itself, or what it was, but things shifted. 
Mornings weren’t comprised of insisting him to take the new serum over the old, throwing open his drapes, setting to cleaning the house -- he was doing that on his own now. He went to you or Hank when he got up. You still made him breakfast, as well as Hank because everyone needed fuel to start their day; but ultimately he was back to being independent. 
And so were you. You were starting to give it considerable thought to go back home, at least for a while and sort things out. Only thing was did Charles even want you to stay? Did you want to stay? You had a life, a career, and a family back home. Could you give all that up just for him? 
It was the middle of summer, your favorite time of the year. Of course, you loved Christmas, and the heat could be overbearing sometimes, but at the end of the day, you preferred a hot summer day. Something about the grilling out, the parties, the fact that good times never seemed to end, it made you smile. 
Now, tonight was July 4th, your second favorite holiday. Ironic, since your soulmate would be British, and you’re American. But here you were, at 7:00 nestled on the lawn of the mansion in the back about to watch for fireworks that would explode over the horizon. You’d heard about the park nearby hosting an event. 
Thoughts of Charles bean swirling in your mind. You remembered asking him to join you tonight… 
“There’s a fireworks display on July 4th,” you mentioned casually as you got his lunch ready for the next day. 
“And you’d like me to go,” he commented with a cheeky grin. “That’s a bit bold of an American to ask a British man, no?” 
You couldn’t help but smile. “I suppose, but can you blame me? Oh come on, it’ll be fun,” you encouraged with a wider grin. “I’d really love for you to be there. It’s my fa--”
“Favorite holiday aside from Christmas, yes, I remember,” he noted with fondness. The little reminder that you two shared a lengthy history warmed your heart. 
So he did remember things about you… you mused to yourself. 
“Just like I remember it making me laugh,” he continued. “Actually,” he sighed, “I can’t.” He walked over to the island, staring across from you, his ocean blues somehow more blue and clear than normal. “I wish I could, truly. But I’ve got grades to report and I have a deadline for my research proposal.” He gave you a sad smile. “I’m sorry, love,” he said, grabbing your hand and kissing it softly before stroking it with his thumb. “You should go without me though. I’m sure you’d enjoy it.” 
You thought for a moment. “Yeah, I think I will. Maybe Hank could join me, if you don’t mind?” 
“Of course not. You two should have fun. He never gets out,” he remarked with a grin. 
However, Hank let you down. The following day, he said he couldn’t go. That he had a date of all things. Not that Hank couldn’t get a date. He was quite the catch. But he’d been almost a prisoner of this house. You had no idea he was even interested in anyone new since Raven. Apparently though, he met this girl at the place where he ordered his lab equipment and they hit it off. She asked him to a firework show about forty five minutes away from the mansion.
So it was just you tonight. Which was fine. Of course you missed Charles, but you could enjoy this just as much without him. 
The first firework came soaring over the treeline of the horizon and you marveled at it, smiling like a giddy child. The colors were fantastic. You partially wished you’d gone out to get some of your own to set off, but without anyone to share it with, it wouldn't have been as nice. 
Five more fireworks exploded and you clapped, knowing full well no one could hear or see you. 
“Enjoyed that one, did you?” Charles suddenly said from behind you. 
You spun to face him. He stood above you on the side of the lawn that sloped down. He smiled happily down at you before walking down to meet you.
“I brought us some things,” he informed you, raising the basket to make his point. 
“I thought you had to work?” you asked, shocked. 
“Were you rather I not be here?” he questioned, a bit of a laugh in his voice. That merriment was something you very much missed since he’d disappeared. He was always joking, positive, and bursting with great energy before a year ago. Then you got here and up until he started working, he barely smiled. 
“No, of course not, I’m just worried about your work.”
“Oh, it’ll be fine. I got the grades in and the proposal isn’t due for another few days. I may have to work here late a few nights, if that’s alright.” 
“Of course,” you agreed. “Anything you need. I’ll be happy so long as you’re here.” 
“Good. Well I brought us this blanket,” he informed before unrolling it and fanning it out. When it was settled on the grass, you sat on it and he joined you, kneeling. “I’ve got finger sandwiches, chips, grapes, cheese plate, and wine.”
“Wow, a whole spread. I thought you didn’t cook?” you teased.
“I don’t. I put things on plates, wrapped them, and brought them out. I didn’t need a PhD to teach me that. Give me some credit,” he said with mock hurt. 
“Ah, you’re right,” you said, raising your hands in defense. 
“What would you like first?” 
“Mmm, some wine and the cheese plate,” you said. 
“Your wish is my command.” 
He got out the plate, a little knife, some crackers, and poured wine in two plastic cups. 
“Here’s to America’s independence,” you said, raising your cup. 
He peered at you with a bemused expression. “To America’s independence,” he agreed with a coy grin before touching his cup to yours. 
“So when did you think of all this?” you asked as the two of you watched the fireworks. 
“Actually the night you brought it up. I already knew I wanted to do this for you, I just knew I had work to do.” 
“I see.”
“But then as I sat at my desk, I realized I’d much rather be here with you and I could make it happen.” 
“I’m glad you thought of me,” you noted.
“I’m always thinking about you,” he said casually and quickly. 
You smiled to yourself. 
The two of you slipped into a nice quietness, enjoying the show as you leaned back on your elbows. Your head rested on his shoulder every once in a while. Every now and then, one of you pointed out one you really liked. You seemed to like the sparkly ones and he loved the red ones, the ones that had the biggest spread. Every so often, you picked at the food he brought and sipped on the wine. 
Slowly, the fireworks died out around eleven o’clock and you sighed. “Well, I guess that was it. I wish--”
“That we had our own?” he finished as he pulled out some sparklers from the basket. “Way ahead of you.” 
“Either you thought of everything, or you read my mind,” you accused, partially joking. 
He handed you a sparkler before grabbing the lighter and lighting them. Once they sparked and began sizzling and glowing, he said, “I didn’t read your mind. I just know you love to have your own fireworks.” 
You frowned for a moment, thinking, gazing down at the sparkler before making mindless shapes in the air. “Do you ever? Read my mind that is,” you asked. 
“No,” he softly stated. 
“But how--”
“The loudest and the most painful can get in when I’m not paying attention, but I take great effort to give people their privacy,” he informed.
“That’s nice of you,” you mused. 
“Speaking of… privacy,” he started when the sparkler fizzled out and it was just you two in the darkness under the glow of the moon.
Dread began to wrap around you. What could this be about? 
“I wanted to talk to you about… well about staying,” he began, seeming nervous. “Just--Just hear me out. I know you have a life back home, I know, but I was just wondering if maybe… you’d want to stay here, with me.” 
“Charles… I,” you started, having no real idea where you were going with the statement. 
“You don’t have to decide now. I know you have a lot to do. A home to sell, a business to move, family to part with. I just… I want you to think on it.” He gently picked up your hands and held them closer to him. “I love you, Y/N, and I’ve missed you. I’m very happy when you’re here.”
This was the first time he’d said it. He loved you. You suspected it, you wanted it, it seemed highly intuitive. But up until a second ago, he’d never uttered the words in any form or fashion. And now you were on top of the world, feeling as if your insides were warmly melting and softening at his words, his voice, his face...
“I’m happy too, Charles.” 
Even in the darkness you could see him smile and before you realized it, the air turned heavier. Ever so slowly, you two inched towards each other. You slowly shifted to your knees as he began to raise up to match you. You two were now on your knees, facing each other, only a few inches apart. Was that his heart or your heart racing? All you could hear was an erratic thumping. 
As if gravity pulled you to him, you two closed the gap at the same time, your lips finally touching for the first time. It felt like Heaven inside you. Every fear, worry, regret, wish, dream - vanished. You were nothing but whole inside. A feeling of warmth wrapped all the way around you as you reached out with one hand to entwine your fingers in his hair, and the other to touch his hand. Your fingers laced with his as he used his other arm to pull you closer to him. 
His lips tasted sweeter than you’d ever imagined. Heat went from his body to yours, to back again. The two of you couldn’t get enough of each other. You gently put pressure on his lips and he pushed back, his mouth working on yours expertly. 
Although you didn’t want to, you two broke away for much needed air. 
“I uh, don’t think that was the answer you were looking for,” you said with a chuckle. 
He leaned forward, his lips a hair away from yours, both hands in your hair when he replied, “No, but I love the response.” 
You hummed a laugh as he eased you down onto the blanket. 
-----------------------------------------
“I don’t know what to do,” you admitted to Hank the next day while Charles was at work. You were helping him with his wing design for his job. 
“Well, what do you want to do?” he asked point blank. 
“I want to stay,” you said as if it was obvious. “I mean, I know he can’t give up this home to come back with me. My house wouldn’t fit him, I just… I don’t want to give up my patients and my practice.” 
“Well, you might have to.” 
“I just don’t want to abandon them, you know? A lot of my patients feel like they don’t have anyone so if they feel like I’m just giving up on them--”
“What if you scheduled remote sessions? You know, did video chats? They could do it from the comfort of their homes and you could still help them.” 
You cocked your head side to side. “That’s actually not a bad idea.” 
“Yeah I’m chock full of them,” he said with a smile as he glanced up at you from underneath the model wing. 
“I may do that. But what about the rest? My house, my family…” 
“I can’t say anything about your family, I don’t know them. But they know you’re up here, they know you have a mate. Your house -- all you have to do is sell it and have your stuff moved up here.” 
“You use logic so well, it’s so hard to argue,” you said with fake anger. 
“I know. I’m so hard to get along with,” he agreed, rolling his eyes.  
“Totally irritating.” You smiled at him before slightly hitting his shoulder. “Well, I better get to my plans then, huh?”
You made your way out of the lab and began your arrangements home, packing your bags, calling your office, and selecting a flight. When Charles got home that evening, you were ready to tell him your decision. In a way, you were excited. A new life, finally with the man you’d dreamed of for years. 
With everything packed, you awaited Charles arrival. 
He came in the door, dropped his things off in the entryway. He met you in the kitchen, where you always were at this time, finishing dinner for everyone. 
“How was your day?” he greeted as soon as he got in, kissing you swiftly but passionately before grabbing a drink for himself. 
“It’s good. I made a decision,” you told him, ready to rip the bandaid. 
“Oh?” he asked, worry in his tone as he took a sip of his drink. 
“Yeah, I’m gonna close up shop back home and come live here,” you informed, trying to keep the smile off your face and failing.
He all but dropped his drink onto the counter before sweeping you into an embrace. He twirled you twice in a circle before setting you back on your feet. “That’s fantastic news! Oh, I know you’re going to love it here, darling.” 
“I know I will,” you assured once he let you go slightly and stepped back. 
“Are you sure this is what you want?” he asked, his brows knitting close together. You could get absolutely lost in those eyes of his. 
“Yes,” you promised. “I’ll miss my family but they know my place is here, beside you.” 
“Right, and we can always visit and they’re always welcome here. Actually… how would you feel about me meeting them?” he asked. “When were you planning on going?” 
“Well at the end of the week,” you stated. “I have to go tell my landlord I’m leaving my office, pack all my things from home. It’ll probably take a whole week.” 
“Perfect. I’ve got three weeks before my next semester starts,” he said. “I could go with you and they could meet me. I have a feeling they might want to know who you’ll be living with.” 
“They probably want to know who I’ve been talking to all these years, more like,” you said with a laugh. 
“So I am coming with you, yes?” he affirmed, his hands on your shoulders as he peered into your eyes, checking if it was alright with you.
“Of course. I’d love that.” You quickly leaned forward and pecked his lips. 
“I’m looking forward to this,” he said before he rolled up his sleeves, ready to help you with dinner.

*gif not mine*
Warnings: Fluff and Smut 😏 18+ Only
Sitting on the floor of your living room you were folding the gobs of laundry you had while listening to your favorite true crime podcast through your ear buds. The host was just getting to the description of the grisly murders that rocked London in 1888. You listened intently, relishing in every detail as you folded the sparkly pink leggings of your four year old daughter, Penelope.
He was now onto the first suspect and you grabbed Angel's Romero Bros work shirt slipping it on a hanger and laying it flat across the sofa behind you smoothing any wrinkles out with your hands.
You then dug out the various change that littered the bottom of the basket. Angel always forgot to clean his pockets out before throwing a load of laundry in and it drove you insane. You now had a jar full of coins that you were calling your "vacation" fund. At this rate you'd be going on vacation any day now and you just might be going on your own.
Standing yourself up from your seated position that you had been in too long, with a bit of a struggle, you stretched out your back before rubbing your hand over your swollen belly. Smiling you felt the little guy kick at your hand from the inside.
He was either going to be an excellent soccer player or dancer. Or maybe even both, you weren't quite sure yet.
Setting the stacks of folded laundry into your empty basic you hoisted the thing up and was about to head to your bedroom when your front door opened. Slipping the bud out of your ear you smiled at your husband and daughter who just got back from school, "Hey baby. How was your day?" You asked your little mini me.
There was no response as Angel hung her backpack on the hook in front of the door. "Hey, P! You know the rules." Angel's voice stopped her as she attempted to storm past. She may be angry with him but he wasn't gonna let her get away with disrespecting the rules of the house. Whipping around she shot her Pops a glare before huffing and slipping her shoes off at the door. She then proceeded to make her way towards you, stomping down the hall and into her bedroom.
You looked to your husband who was clearly also not in the best of moods, "What the hell happened? What's up with your daughter?" You asked him, you were clearly missing something.
Slipping his cut off he hung it beside her backpack and slipped his own shoes off setting them nicely by the door.
He stepped up to you giving you a kiss on the cheek before taking the basket out of your arms to lighten your load. "Did you know our four year old daughter, our baby, apparently has a fucking boyfriend?"
"What?" You tried your best to keep in the snicker, you really did but you just couldn't keep a straight face.
That was what all this was about?
"Why the hell are you laughing woman? It ain't funny," He scoffed, licking his lips like he does so often, “You know what his name is? Anthony, our daughter is dating a boy named Tony. Fucking Tony!”
“Oh my god Angel he’s just a child.” Was he really so threatened about a four year old boy named Anthony?, “What are you going to do? Go intimidate a little preschooler?”
“He’s not a child,” He rebutted, “He’s a little punk who is gonna steal my daughter’s innocent years!”
“Wow, Daddy is so dramatic,” You remarked, looking down at your bump to the child in your belly. You looked back up at him with a smile on your face. “You know she’s just like you. That’s why you butt heads all the damn time.”
He knew that, that was the problem. As the days went by he could see himself more and more in her. There’s nothing like having a child just like you to make you feel bad for your parents.
He placed his large hand over your bump, rubbing his thumb back and forth across the cotton of your shirt, “You better be like your Mama little man. The last thing we need is for her to be stuck with three of us.”
You placed your hand over his, running your finger across the gold wedding band adorning his ring finger. It had been seven glorious years that you had been husband and wife.
“You know that’s not necessarily a bad thing,” you looked just a little longer at the physical representation of your promise to each other, to love the other in the good and the bad, always. You returned your gaze back to those beautiful eyes that had you melting since the first moment they locked on with yours, “to be like you. Sure you are stubborn and selfish and hot headed and..”
“Hey, I thought you said it wasn’t all bad,” he interrupted you, setting the basket of laundry on the table beside you so he could have both his hands free. He stepped closer to you running his hands down the sides of your bump before resting them comfortably on your hips.
“And you have a terrible habit of interrupting me.” You teased grinning up at him as you continued.
“Right,” he chuckled, relaxing in your presence, “I’m sorry. Continue, mi amor.”
“But you’re also so loving. You have the biggest heart, Angel.” You placed your hands on his shoulders straightening out the collar of his shirt, “And you are always doing your best to do the right thing for your club, your family, even when it could put you at odds with those closest to you.”
You smiled up at him and it was one of the most beautiful sights in the world.
He leaned his head down, gravitating closer to you. You smelled of coconuts, shea butter, and vanilla. You smelled of home.
Stretching up to close what little gap was left you kissed his cheek, “And your smart,” then his jaw, “And loyal,” then the corner of his mouth, “And so incredibly sexy.” You purred.
He chuckled biting his lip, “I think you're losing your point here, mi dulce, but I don’t disagree.”
“And you are loved.” You finished with a passionate kiss. You pecked his lips once more before laying a smack to his ass, “Now go shower. Dinner will be ready soon.”
“God I love you,” he said, grabbing your hand and kissing the back of it before cupping your face with the other and kissing you once more. He ran his thumb across your bottom lip soaking in your features as he pulled away and headed into the direction of the bathroom backwards all while grinning at you, his stunning beauty. His hand was still entwined with yours until he got too far away and he was forced to momentarily part with you.
You two had been together for a decade now but still acted like lovesick puppy dogs.
Picking the basket back up you made your way down the hall and to your daughter’s room. Tapping the doorway lightly to alert her to your presence you stepped into the room to find her sitting on her floor playing with her favorite motorcycle Angel had brought home for her after a run.
Placing the basket onto the bed you crouched down next to her, “Hey baby, do you wanna tell me about it?”
She rolled the bike back and forth across the floor keeping her focus on the toy, “Why won’t Daddy let me have a boyfriend?” She pouted, “It’s no fair.”
“Look at Mama for a minute baby,” You said gently running your hand over her dark curls. She did as you asked looking up to you with her big brown eyes. She was so much like Angel it was scary sometimes, “Daddy just has trouble sharing sometimes. He doesn’t want to have to share you,” you ran your thumb across her cheek lovingly, eliciting a little smile from her like you always could , “But he’s gonna work on it. Everyone has things they can do better at.”
“Like I’m gonna have to learn to share once my baby brother comes?” She asked, glancing to your stomach.
“Exactly,” you smiled down at her, “You are so smart, just like Daddy.” You kissed her cheek straightening back up. “You can play for a little longer but then it’s dinner time.”
She nodded returning her attention back to her motorcycle making little revving and rumbling noises as she rolled the toy around the ground. You put her clothes away into her little purple dresser before picking your basket up once more. You stole one more glance at your beautiful girl before exiting her room and heading down the hall to Angel and your’s shared bedroom.
Setting the basket on the foot of the bed you looked up just as Angel stepped out of the connected bathroom with just a towel wrapped around his waist. Smirking he watched you stare at him, "You like the view, mi dulce?"
"I'd like it better without the towel," you flirted biting your lip as your gaze lowered.
He shook his head sauntering over to you, "God pregnancy makes you fucking horny."
"I've never heard any complaints before,” You teased batting your lashes up at him. He cupped your face, kissing you slow and sweet.
“As much as I’d love to fuck you right now,” you murmured in his ear placing a kiss to his jaw. He groaned loving that foul mouth of yours, “You need to get dressed because dinner will be ready soon.”
With that you left him to it while you went to round up your daughter for dinner. She picked up her toys like you had asked before washing up for dinner and making her way to the kitchen with you. Helping her situated herself on her chair you placed a napkin over her lap.
Angel walked in shortly behind you, now much less distracting as he was fully dressed. He pulled you into him kissing you on the cheek as the oven timer dinged signaling your dinner was ready.
He pulled the lasagna out of the oven and set it atop the stove. Grabbing a spatula he cut the dish into pieces scooping out a small portion and cutting it up into little pieces to cool on Penelope’s favorite Toy Story plate. Next he scooped out a piece for you and then him, followed by some garlic bread to complete the meal with a scoop of sauerkraut spread across your toast just how you liked it. Carefully bringing them over to the table all at once, rather impressively, he set the meals in front of his two girls.
“Thank you baby.” You smiled at him. Licking your lips you turned your attention to your plate, mouth watering from the delicious aroma wafting from the food.
You gave your daughter a look as she pouted over her food clearly still holding a grudge against her father, “What do we say P?”
“Thank you Papi,” She grumbled rather begrudgingly before poking at her food with her little fork.
Angel took his place beside you cracking open his beer as he looked at his little world in front of him. He thought maybe she’d drop in by now and be all in his lap like usual but no she was a stubborn little thing.
“How about you tell us all about Anthony,” You suggested. Angel almost lost his shit as he looked at you wide eyed. She was already pissed at him, he didn’t want to add on to the fury.
She looked at you very suspiciously, not sure whose side it was you were on, her’s or her daddy’s. She took a bite of her lasagna as she stared Angel down, almost daring him to speak first.
You were starting to agree with Angel now and really hoped your second would be more like you. To say the atmosphere was tense would be an understatement.
“Daddy promises he will listen and be very understanding, right Daddy?” You looked to Angel with a smile plastered across your beautiful lips.
How could he say no to you? And you did put him on the spot, “Right,” he gave in. He would try his hardest, if only for you. He leaned back in his chair meeting her gaze and waited to hear all about this Tony kid.
You nodded giving her the room. Taking a sip from her sparkly cup filled with milk she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand before beginning. “His name is Anthony,” she told you proudly with a smile on her face, ignoring her father’s gaze now.
“Yeah?” Angel spoke up and you prayed whatever came out of his mouth next would not set her off any more, “And what does this Anthony do? Does he work? How is he gonna provide for my baby?” He asked her, trying to throw her off.
“He’s Spider-Man, duh,” She said as if that should be common knowledge to him.
He tried to keep his composure but he couldn’t keep the smile from his face, “Spider-Man, huh? You can’t date Spider-Man baby. It’s too dangerous.” He tried to reason with the four year old across from him.
“But he’s a hero Daddy,” She furrowed her eyebrows at him before her features soften, “Just like you.”
His heart melted as he looked at his princesa. She knew exactly how to soften him up and he was a sucker for that.
“He’d protect me,” She continued on, “Just like you always do.” She added on to the sweetening of her father.
“I’ll make you a deal, Penelope,” He said, looking into those soft brown eyes surrounded by those dark lashes of hers as she batted her eyelashes at him. Now that she got from you. “I want to meet this Anthony the Spider-Man and then if he proves himself worthy of mi princesa I will consider it.”
She thought this proposition over for a moment in her head. It wasn’t exactly a win for her but she had softened him and she could soften him up some more, “Okay.” She agreed with a smug little smile on her face, “Can I be excused now?” She asked.
She had eaten a decent amount of food during the exchange so you gave her the go ahead. Picking her plate up she set it by the sink and walked off to go play in the living room.
“You know she just totally played you, right?” You grinned looking over at your husband. You expected there to be much more of a fight but damn was that girl good.
“I know,” He said flashing you a smirk, “But she’s not the only one playing this game, mi amor.”
You rolled your eyes mentally preparing yourself for the craziness that could await you in this next week.
—————————————————————————————————————
The next day your husband and daughter got home from school in a much better mood than the day before, thankfully. They were full of smiles as Angel hung her backpack up and they slipped their shoes off at the door like always.
“How’d it go?” You asked looking between the two. They exchanged a look and your daughter giggled. It appeared they were thick as thieves once again. “Did you meet Anthony?” You asked Angel.
“Nope.” He grinned at you, “Why don’t you tell Mama what you told me P?” He suggested proudly.
She shrugged nonchalantly, giving you a hug, “I broke up with Anthony. He tried to kiss me,” she scrunched her little face up in disgust, “It was icky.”
Angel chuckled at that, he’d never get tired of hearing her say that. Hopefully this phase lasted a while, “Yeah, kissing boys is very icky,” He agreed, “Right Mama?”
You shook your head letting out a laugh. At least the fighting was over, for now, “Yep, kissing boys is real icky.”
“And there’s only one hero for me,” She beamed at Angel before scurrying off to play in her room, full of energy.
“What about you Mama?” Angel asked, swaggering up to you, “Is there only one hero for you?”
“Oh yeah, definitely.” You teased, “Superman is plenty enough for me.”
He smacked you on the ass playfully planting a kiss on your cheek before walking off to go clean up from work before dinner.
That night you tucked your little girl into bed and Angel read her two bedtime stories like always even though she was only supposed to get one, he couldn’t say no to her little pleas, before heading off to bed yourselves.
Crawling into bed together you turned your lamp off and waited for Angel to do the same. Instead he just stared at you with that look in his eyes and smirk upon his face, “I think you’re forgetting something, mi amor.”
“Yeah? And what might that be?”
“My goodnight kiss.” He grinned at you and puckered his lips.
“Oh is that so? But don’t you remember kissing boys is icky,” you teased giving him a grin back before turning around and snuggling into the bed facing away from him.
“Yeah well baby I’m not a boy, I’m a man.” You felt the bed shift as he settled closer to you.
“Really?” You teased some more, the smile still plastered to your face. You held your breath as you felt his hot breath against the skin of your neck, his large rough hand sliding across your stomach.
“I was man enough to knock you up twice now, wasn’t I?” he purred into your ear giving you chills.
He wasn't wrong.
Gently moving your hair from your neck he began kissing and sucking your sweet flesh, his hand wandering down your nightgown and taking hold of your breast flicking your erect nipple with his thumb.
Your breath hitched as you enjoyed the touch only he could provide you. He grinned into his kisses relishing in how your body responded to him and his yours, his stiff member pressing firmly against your ass.
Being the tease you were you wiggled your ass against him causing a low groan to rumble from within his chest. His hand wandered down hooking into the sides of your underwear before slipping them slowly down your legs.
Running his hand back up the side of your leg slowly he stopped at your thigh moving his hand in the other direction to tease between your legs. He kissed your jaw, then the side of your mouth, then your lips as you turned your head to meet his face. Running his hand back down your thigh he grabbed behind your knee pulling your leg up opening you further to him.
Yanking his boxer briefs down whilst never breaking your makeout session he grabbed his hard cock and teased the tip at your entrance collecting your sweet juices. You gasped at the contact and Angel took the opportunity to snake his tongue into your mouth before pushing slowly inside you.
You took him well, you always did and he stayed still a moment just relishing in the moment of your bodies coming together as one. Once you started to wiggle your hips, desperate for some form of friction he gave in to your needs, and his, and began thrusting at a slow sensual pace, his hand finding its place to rest on your bump.
He kept his pace slow and teasing. You felt so good wrapped around him, it took everything in him not to rush, but he wanted to prolong the both of your pleasure as long as he could.
It didn’t take long until you were pushing back against him meeting his thrusts and he knew you had had enough. Littering sloppy kisses across your shoulder he picked up the pace hitting all the right places. His hand traveled to your clit running circles around your most sensitive spot.
“Fuck,” you moaned out as your walls clenched around him.
“You close?” He murmured into your ear, “You wanna come?”
You nodded your head finding it hard to muster out any words as he continued his assault on your clitoris while simultaneously thrusting into you with such calculated movements of his hips.
“Say it,” he growled into your ear, ceasing his hand movements. He nibbled at your earlobe as he waited for the words he loved so much.
“Fuck,” you gasped out, desperate for him to return his touch, “Yes Daddy,” you gave him what he wanted, “Please.”
He smirked working his thumb once more as he pushed into you deeper, his thrusts getting sloppier as he began to twitch inside you, you both almost to your breaking point. He quickened the movements of his thumb and it wasn’t long before you came undone around him. Just a few more thrusts and he was right there with you filling you up as he moaned out face buried in your neck.
You lay there together, spent as he held your back close to his sweaty chest, still buried deep inside you. Kissing the back of your shoulder he mumbled into your skin, “I fucking love you, (Y/N).”

All I Really Want Chapter 4
Rating: M
Pairing: Kristanna (at some point lol)
Verse: 90s High School AU / frozen retelling
Chapter Summary: Hans and Anna go on a their first date.
Notes: This chapter has some extra warnings—there are references to and conversations about underage sex. Nothing graphic, nothing explicit. None of that will be in any chapter of this fic. However, while reading this chapter specifically, it is important to note that this is a fictional account of one character’s experience. This is definitely not meant to be a universal depiction of how adolescence is “supposed to go” or anything to that effect. Everybody has their own timelines for things like this, which is perfectly valid, and in fact, exactly how it should be—individualized.
Read on Ao3
Anna took a deep breath, sighing contentedly while smoothing out her pink silk dress. She knew Hans didn’t mean to be late or keep her waiting or whatever, but she sat here, ready, for the last twenty minutes and he said he was going to arrive ten minutes ago. But Anna didn’t even know whether to trust his word at this point.
She didn’t even know him, really. She didn’t even know what he was like…
Yeah. True. Ugh—shit. Kristoff was right. She didn’t know that much about him.
Well. Okay—his last name was Westergaard. He had 13 brothers.
Um.
He had red hair and green eyes and this really pointy nose that looked really hot and cute at the same time. Like hotute or umm maybe hute. Nah. Hotute was much better.
So, yeah. He had red hair, green eyes, and a hotute nose.
What else…
He lived in Newport Beach.
And… she also knew that…
They had a lot of fun together! They had the most fun together she’d ever had with anybody in her whole life.
And this fun, well—she moved a little quickly with him. It was her decision to take things past kissing on their second night together. And duh—kissing him brought out some kind of really nice jolt of electricity, and it felt so absolutely amazing to actually share that electricity with someone else. So, she couldn’t help it. She was happy to move… quickly. She was more than happy to. They hadn’t done everything yet, but...
Well, it meant they didn’t do much… talking, exactly.
Of course, Anna still found the words somehow in between kisses and um—other things—to monologue about whatever consumed her mind.
But Hans didn’t say much at all. About himself, at least. He still asked a lot of personal questions about her life.
Maybe she should ask him some for a change. Besides, they couldn’t make out throughout the whole dinner, either. That felt like a big no-no in such a super ritzy establishment as Five Crowns anyway. So, they had to talk.
Her stomach suddenly sank.
It was like… she was nervous?
About spending the night with her… friend… with? benefits?
But that seemed so wrong? Why would she be nervous about spending a couple hours gnawing on steak and delicious soufflé and talking with the guy she loved most?
Why did the entire concept of conversation make her want to barf on the spot?
Her stomach fell to her knees.
Maybe Kristoff was right. Maybe love at first sight didn’t exist and she was just lying to herself because she wanted it so badly and…
No. No. Kristoff was getting in her head. It didn’t mean anything. It couldn’t mean anything.
She and Hans would make wonderful conversation at their friends-with-benefits-dinner-date and it would be all fine and dandy and wonderful.
She’d ask him some questions. She’d get to know him. And then she’d show Kristoff! She’d show the shit out of him and that grumpy BFF of hers would be totally wrong!
Except Hans still wasn’t here. So, Anna nervously fidgeted with her dress again. She tried to smooth it out. She clipped and unclipped the two hot pink sparkly snap clips that were on either side of her middle-parted red hair.
After her seventh time fiddling with the clips, she heard the intimidating chime of the doorbell.
Thank God.
She counted to twenty-five before she allowed herself to open the door, needing him to think she had better things to do than twiddle her thumbs and wait for him.
The second she saw his handsome face, her entire bundle of nerves completely disappeared. “Hans!” She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck to give him a passionate kiss on the lips. He stumbled back a little bit, not quite ready for this show of affection, probably, but he caught himself easily, finally relaxing into the kiss and bringing his hands to the small of her back.
“You ready, babe?”
She kissed him again. “Mmhmm,” she mumbled into his mouth.
“Let’s do it.”
And all of a sudden, the nerves were back. Now that she had to contemplate how they would make it through dinner before getting back to this whole smooching business.
But she gave him no inkling of any of these likely-Kristoff-induced-second-thoughts and smiled brightly. She followed him to his black Mercedes and bit her lip for the entirety of the car ride. His hand rested on her thigh, squeezing it ever so slightly.
Only letting up when they pulled off Pacific Coast Highway and into the Five Crowns Parking lot and Anna caught herself shaking.
Nervous, still.
Thankfully Hans took her hand, guiding her into the restaurant in a way that felt more… relationship-y than she was expected. This wasn’t friends. It certainly didn’t seem like friends.
Oh, crap. Maybe she needed to have this conversation with Hans tonight, too. Crap. Crapity crap crap crap. That was not at all what she wanted.
But the fact that there were about five hundred million butterflies eating away at absolutely everything in her stomach right before she was about to chow down on some delicious and expensive food that she actually really wanted to enjoy…
She should do it. Yup. She should do it. All she had to do was wait for the perfect window of opportunity and then she’d just—bam get it all out there out in the open and then they’d say I love yous for days and then go back to his car for some making out and it would be glorious and perfect and probably the best date she’d ever been on.
Wait.
Date. This was a date.
She and Hans hadn’t really… been on a date since they met in February. Not a real date, at least. They went to the movie Vegas Vacation but classically sat in the back and made out the whole time, like, so much so that she didn’t even know exactly what the plot was besides the Griswolds going to Las Vegas and oh yeah—Wayne Newton was also there at some point?
She didn’t count that as a date, exactly. Because of the lack of… talking.
And all the other times they only hung out at each other’s houses.
Which meant… this was her first date. What better time to figure out if they were hopefully something more than just friends? Because friends with benefits wasn’t really what she wanted out of any of this. She knew she should be thankful that she had love. They loved each other. That was great. But… she wanted a relationship, too.
Okay. So that was the game plan. All systems very much go.
When she looked around at the restaurant, taking in the English Tudor / nautical hybrid décor, she began to feel a little out of her element. Her silk dress suddenly became itchy. Everybody else in the restaurant had to be at least 40 years old at a minimum and she thought she must seem like a child. Her pink dress and her pink glitter snap clips and her pink eyeshadow only further proved this point.  
This made her even more nervous. Uncomfortable. It made her worry she’d never find the right opportunity to have this mature and important conversation when she felt like she was eight years old and at her father’s birthday dinner again.
But she’d try…
When they sat down next to each other at their corner booth, Anna’s stomach lurched. Still very worried. Still very young and out of place. Now was definitely not the right opportunity.
The right opportunity didn’t arise when they ordered their French Onion Soups and Filet Mignons.
The right opportunity didn’t arise when they received their French Onion Soups, when they slurped them up, when Anna realized her breath probably reeked more than she cared to admit.
But once the French Onion Soups were cleared, once Hans placed his right arm comfortably over Anna’s shoulders, so she could lean in close… she thought maybe now was the time.
But Hans wanted to talk, too.
“What classes are you in this year?”
This question jarred her. She hadn’t realized they somehow hadn’t covered any of this basic information in the last month. “Oh. Um. I’m taking Geometry Honors, Spanish II, World History, Conceptual Physics or whatever the freshman science is. Oh! And also, studio art because that sounded fun!” She had to take a break for a bit to catch her breath. “English I, too. But I’m not that happy about it because I really wanted Honors English but apparently that doesn’t exist for freshmen? Which seems really dumb because obviously there’s a lot of us who can handle it. I’ve already read like all of the books on our English I reading list. Like, Sense and Sensibility? Jane Eyre? Catcher in the Rye? Honestly? That feels like middle school to me but whatever.” Anna didn’t usually let that many people in on her secret middle school classic literature obsession, but once she got going she couldn’t stop herself. “Um. Sorry. I got all rambly again. I just really like English. It’s my favorite subject. If you couldn’t already tell…”
“Yeah. English is solid.”
“Mmhmm! And what are you taking?” Anna asked. “Let me guess. You look like an … AP US History guy. French III? Regular English. Ummm.. I don’t know what math. And probably um chemistry honors?”
“Close.”
“So, what is it?”
“I’m in Latin. And yep. APUSH, regular English, Chem Honors. I’m in AP Stats this year. I was so over calculus. Such a bullshit class. Tried it for a day but that bitch Ms. Maloney fucking hated me for no reason.”
“Oh. Okay.” Anna bit her lip. This was stagnating. And he was way too oddly aggressive about that calc class. Her stomach dropped again. She wanted to make sure they had the best conversation of their entire lives at Five Crowns on her first real date. “So, then what’s your favorite subject?”
“History.”
“What do you like about it?” Anna asked.
“Wars are hella dope. Cool to learn about.”
“Ah,” Anna said. “Any one in particular?” She tried her best.
“I dunno. I’ve always been into The Great War.”
“That’s World War I, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Sounds like that’d be a good one.” Anna cringed. Her whole body tensed. She hoped he didn’t notice. This conversation felt awkward. She needed to change the subject. “And you play baseball? Any other sports?”
“Nah,” he said as he squeezed her shoulder. “You had that track meet last weekend, right?”
“Yeah. I did. All day Saturday,” she explained, leaning in closer to him. “I did the pole vault, triple jump, and a relay.”
“That sounds pretty fly.”
“Mmhmm. I guess. But…” Anna sighed. “I kinda wish I hadn’t gone. It was, like, the whole day and I came home to a message from Elsa, so. I don’t know. Maybe I’m not meant for track.”
“What’d Elsa have to say?”
“Not too much, really. It was a short message…” Anna’s voice got a little lower. “But she said she’s pretty nervous because she’s meant to hear from colleges soon.”
“Ah,” Hans said. “Well, I wish her luck.”
“Me, too.”
Anna sighed. Sustained silence fell between them for a short while. And Anna couldn’t help but realize… maybe this was her window of opportunity.
“Um… Hans?
“Wazup?”
“What… are we?”
“What do you mean what are we?”
“Oh, duh. Yeah. Well, it’s not—I don’t mean like—what are we—like humans or whatever. It’s not… deep like that,” Anna winced at her futile attempts to explain her nervous thoughts. “I just mean… what are we? You know—in our… relationship or friendship or whatever it is.”
“Oh.”
“You get it? Does that make sense? I can try explaining it again if it doesn’t…”
“I get it.”
“Okay,” she exhaled. Then inhaled. She bit her lip again. For probably the 50th time that night. “So then… what are we?”
“We’re us.”
“Right. And what is us?”
“We’re having fun. Aren’t we? Didn’t you have hella fun watching Vegas Vacation?
Anna’s cheeks flushed red. “We didn’t watch—”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. But didn’t you have a blast, anyway? Aren’t you having fun right now?”
“Of course I am, I just meant—”
“That’s all we’re doing, babe. We’re having fun.”
“So we’re… so you’re not my—we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend is what you’re saying?”
“We’re having fun.”
Anna could feel her heartbeat quickening. Her stomach couldn’t drop any lower than it already had.
Now they were confirmed just friends. Even though she wanted this date at Five Crowns to mark the start of something a bit more serious…
But maybe…
Maybe they didn’t need labels to be serious. Maybe they were already serious.
Thinking of this, Anna stared into his green eyes, catching some swirls of what she hoped was sincerity hidden within. “You love me though, don’t you?”
“Of course I love you, babe. I’ve loved you since the day I met you.”
She smiled now, snuggling into him further, content. It didn’t matter what they were, it didn’t matter what they called themselves. They had each other. They had snuggles and smooches and smiles and now a real, legit, super-fun date and they loved each other since the very second they laid eyes on each other.
Take that, Kristoff. Mr. Grumpy-Doesn’t-Believe-in-Love-At-First-Sight man. You lost today, sucker.
She planted a gentle kiss on his lips, a kiss that deepened, continuing until their orders of Filet Mignon were placed gingerly in front of them.
Without the constant pressure of the impending scary and mature conversation, Anna gobbled up her food with ease, quickly, in fact—because she was starting to look more and more forward to the after-date than the date itself.
So much so that she considered skipping out on the chocolate soufflé entirely. And chocolate was her favorite thing in the world. Period.
Once the chocolate soufflés arrived, though, she realized that would’ve been a grave error. No way no how.
Naturally she inhaled the chocolate soufflé. In a way that left Hans laughing and laughing, trying as hard as he could to wipe the chocolate off of her mouth and her shoulders and her dress… and also the walls and some areas of the booth… safe to say, Anna had made quite the mess.
And with him touching her and laughing with her, Anna became giddy. When Hans paid with his Visa platinum and signed the check, taking Anna’s hand again and helping her out of the booth, Anna’s giddiness turned ecstatic.
He thought she was funny. He laughed at her jokes. He laughed at her antics. He helped clean up her mess.
And they had a good conversation about school and a really informative conversation about their relationship. And they loved each other, of course. That was important, too.
Still overjoyed, Anna sat again in Hans’s black Mercedes. Hans drove to one of the Crystal Cove beach parking lots. They parked the car.
The entire area was dark. Nobody was there. Not a car. Not a soul. Not even a seagull.
Anna knew where this was going.
Her heart beat quickly for a new and exciting reason.
Their lips touched with sparks of electricity; a fervent move that sent them shimmying into the backseat of the car.
Anna was no stranger to the black leather seats. She was no stranger to this position.
She’d moved quickly with him. She recognized that. But hearing a chorus of Hans’s delectable I love yous made fireworks ignite within her soul. And so, it didn’t seem quick at all. It seemed just about right. Perfect. If they loved each other on the first night, then everything naturally had to follow at lightning speed to match.
Right?
“Hey, babe?” Hans whispered in her ear, so close that it tickled her a bit and she giggled.
“Yeah?”
“Can we do it?”
She giggled again. “I mean—sure. Yeah. When were you—”
“Tonight,” he said. “Now.”
“Oh.” Anna was out of her element again. Yes, she liked moving quickly. Yes, she liked everything else they’d done, but… this? Tonight?
She didn’t think she was ready. She didn’t feel ready. Did anybody ever feel ready? Did it matter?
It was then that she realized Arendelle Academy had failed her. The school had failed them, more like. She had the period talk in the fifth grade. But since then… all she had to do was some dumb assignment about chlamydia in the Human Development class she took last semester.
That wasn’t enough. Clearly.
And here she was—terrified.
Because, sure, she knew what it meant to do it. But only because of a healthy mix of Sex and the City (Anna knew she was a Carrie), Friends, and Anna Karenina. As a curious middle schooler, Anna learned more than she’d like to admit from Anna Karenina’s spicy affair with Vronksy.
But that suddenly felt all… abstract.
It was like she knew nothing. Nothing at all. In the backseat of Hans’s car, she was about to flunk out of doing it class.
The only shred of information that remained in her brain was her vision. Her perfect, wonderful vision of how she both imagined and desired it to happen.
She pictured herself sixteen or seventeen… on her birthday. One of her favorite days of the year. After some kind of wonderful birthday surprise party all planned perfectly by her boyfriend, the two of them would dash off to a swanky hotel, and when they would get to their wonderful suite, there would be rose petals scattered around the bed. They’d have bottles of some fancy champagne… oh—and some chocolate covered strawberries, of course.
But most importantly—boyfriend. She’d said boyfriend. Obviously. Because she imagined it happening with the boyfriend she loved with all of her heart.
That was just for it, though. The Big It.
For any of the other stuff—stuff they’d already done—she never had the same kind of perfect vision. So, it was easy enough to just… full steam ahead do all of it.
But not this it. Not the Big It.
So many parts of her vision were missing. She needed it to be special. She needed it to feel like the most intimate expression of love for another person possible.
Because…well—that’s exactly what it was to her.
So she couldn’t do it tonight. Not like this. But at the same time, she didn’t want to let him down.
She didn’t want to lose him…
“I don’t know,” was all she said.
“Well, why not? We’ve done everything else. What’s the difference?”
“I want it… to be special. And I’m only—I’m, like, young. Isn’t that bad?”
“No.”
But this didn’t comfort her very much. Because she was young.
Elsa would say that she was too young.
“You don’t think it’s bad? That I’m…” Anna gulped. She worried saying the word fourteen out loud would make him see her as immature and naïve. “You don’t think I’m gonna be bad?”
“No.” He kissed her, then, romantically. Anna relaxed a bit into the kiss. “You’re gonna be great.”
“Have you ever… um—have you done it before?”
“A couple times.”
She’d figured as much, and it made her nervous. Really, really nervous. In her vision of how this should play out, it was her first time and it was her loving, doting, wonderful boyfriend’s first time, too. There were no expectations. There were no comparisons.
Her mind flashed to Kristoff, eyes crinkled and mouth wide in that wonderful smile of his.
No. Don’t do that. Don’t do that, Anna.
She needed to shake herself clear of those thoughts. Of that visual…of that desire, maybe. If that’s what it was.
No. No. It was about Hans tonight. HansHansHans. His hotute nose and his beautiful green eyes.
She loved Hans. She wanted Hans in this way, yes. She did.
It was just…
“I think I want it to be special,” Anna said, her voice small.
“This is special, babe. Just you and me here in my car… loving each other.”
“No, no, no. I mean special special. Like… really romantic special. On a really big event or a really big milestone or something. I want it to mean a lot. And I’m not saying that I don’t want to do it with you because I really, really do want to—like…I want to, and my body wants to and… I just think I need to wait um… a little bit.”
“Okay,” Hans said, sighing. “We can wait.”
Anna’s heart soared. Now she just needed a new vision of how she wanted it to go down. She figured he wouldn’t want to wait that long and really neither did she. If she really wanted him to be her boyfriend and not her friend-with-benefits then she needed to double down. She couldn’t keep him waiting for too long.
But if she were worried about being too young… and if she were worried about what Elsa would say, and she wanted it to happen on her birthday, ideally. Then… she should just say it.
“My birthday.”
“What about it?”
“My birthday. We can do it on my birthday, okay? That’s… three months away,” Anna explained. In three months, she’d be fifteen. And fifteen seemed old enough.
Right?
Right. Fifteen felt right. Her birthday felt right. Elsa had to understand. And maybe Elsa would even be proud that she waited those three months instead of diving right in.
Shit did Anna want her sister to be proud of her.
She continued, “I know it’s awhile, but. It’s an important day and we can be together, and I think… I think that’s perfect. I think then it’ll be really special.”
And then… when it happened, she just knew he’d decide he wanted to be her boyfriend for real.  
Hans nodded. “Okay. Deal. June 21st, right?”
And her heart leapt at the sheer fact that he remembered.
They made out some more. They got close, really close, to doing what he wanted, but they didn’t. He respected her wishes.
He respected her.
And when Hans dropped her off at home that night, Anna knew what she needed to do. It was late. Again. She always called Elsa so late. It was self-sabotage, really. Elsa’s world operated three hours later than Anna’s…
But she picked up the phone and dialed her sister’s number anyway.
Nothing but ring ring ring ring times infinity and then that condescending beep. Another beep… another message destined to be unanswered but not unheard.
Anna still couldn’t believe that stupid track meet had kept her away from Elsa’s once-in-a-blue-moon phone call.
“Um—Els. Hey. It’s me again. Your sister. Anna…” Anna shook her head. Elsa would recognize her voice. Duh. Anna always had to make everything so awkward. No wonder Elsa hardly ever called her back. “Um, anyway. I, uh—I’m so sorry I keep calling and I’m so sorry I keep leaving all these messages and I’m, like, the most sorry I missed your call Saturday—I wish I’d been home. I…I can’t even tell you how much I wish I’d been home…” She balled up her hands into tight fists and squeezed, hard, trying to keep a lid on all of her emotions. “It’s just—I really, really miss you and I have…” Anna knew what she wanted to tell Elsa, but she didn’t know quite how to frame it. She tried to squeeze her fists harder. “I, um—I did something. And I think…” But she couldn’t help it—her emotions had no lid. Tears spilled down her cheeks and she took a deep breath in a futile attempt to hide the trembling within her voice. “I think you’ll be really proud of me.”

right here, right now.
kageyama x female reader (self-insert)
angst to fluff, post-breakup, college!au haikyuu
2.2k words
‹ warning: no honorifics, written in lowercase, reader’s pov, poorly written ›
"you're really going, right? tomorrow for karasuno’s reunion?" sugawara's voice is hopeful. patting my hand as a sign of encouragement, his eyes are sparkly and his eyes are always kind. you can never reject sugawara. he's always been a really kind senior to me, or probably he just got this effect on people.
"i don't know, sugawara. i really want to meet all of you, i also miss the all of the seniors- but i don't think i'll be brave enough to face him." letting out a sigh, i shifted in my seat, fiddling with my own cup of hot chocolate that i got earlier before bumping into sugawara in the queue.
this is what i'm scared of the most.
encountering karasuno volleyball club members randomly, and not being able to accept their invitation whenever they're hanging out. and it's all because of him.
"how long has it been? since you talked to kageyama?" sugawara asked carefully, trying to look my eyes as if saying his name would make me explode. well it actually would, one day i'll finally explode whenever i hear his name ring in my ears. i shook my head, blinking repeatedly at the bittersweet sound of his name.
"3 months? more than 3 months? i didn't count. i was too hurt to count, i think? i don't know how to explain it but it hurts me really good." i let out a bitter chuckle, looking up at the bright sky while avoiding sugawara's gaze on me, and yup. he’s worried like he’s my own mother.
"how about the others? you still talk to-"
"yes. yes, yes, i still talk to all of them. yachi and yamaguchi actually went out with me yesterday to watch some movies, and tsukki texts me often since we're in the same course together. you know? i was surprised that tsukki would join something art related in college. our first year of college is ending and he manages to shock me with his random behavior” sugawara laughed at my remarks about tsukki, nodding his head as we share the missing pieces in our lives ever since college started.
ever since i started drifting away from people.
i finally agreed on going to karasuno's reunion tomorrow.
sugawara wouldn't stop pestering me about it, not to mention hinata and nishinoya who were also pestering me through texts and instagram which kinda makes my head hurts. it's not like i want to forget all of my high school friends, but since most of my memories with them also include kageyama in it, i just want to forget all of the memories i had with him.
he was my high-school lover. at least we were like lovers. that’s what i thought, lovers. until college started and he started hanging out with another pretty girl in his class, until he invested his time in someone else rather than me.
it hurt me like crazy. the day i caught him lying to my face saying that he’s going to be at the library which is very unlike him and i found him accompanying the girl to the art supply store- it was my favorite art supply store too.
my breath hitched at the thought of him with someone else, grunting and stuffing my own face with my pillow- trying to block out my own thoughts which is 100% not working.
i hate sleeping like this.
i hate closing my eyes but my head is still loud with my own thoughts, and it wasn’t positive. it’s always filled with heartbreak, with pictures of him leaving me without explaining why. without telling me what i did wrong.
what did i do wrong?
i arrived at daichi’s house, bringing 2 bags full of snacks and hangover cures, just in case something went crazy later.
“hey! you’re here!” hinata were already shouting, greeting my by giving me a hug. nishinoya followed after, and i was greeted with daichi and asahi’s warm smiles. and it indeed felt like home.
“i’m glad you came. how are you?” daichi asked after embracing me with a hug, not forgetting to mess with my hair.
“surprisingly well! you?”
“going to be messed up knowing that thesis is coming up” he said making me laugh, patting daichi’s back, following all of the boys to daichi’s backyard where yachi and kiyoko are already grilling meat and vegetables.
“hey, sit here!” inviting me to sit beside her, yachi gave me a glass of fruit punch, nudging me lightly.
“you’re finally ready to meet him” kiyoko stated, making me flustered and gloomy at the same time, which resulted me shrugging my shoulder.
“i don’t think i am, i just miss all-“
my words are cut off when i see kageyama walking to the backyard, settling beers down on the table and apologizing to everyone that he’s late. am i getting all of this lovestruck feeling again?
“yeah, you’re not ready” yachi shook her head, panicking and grasping my hand. kiyoko only laughs a little, preparing a glass of drink for kageyama.
kageyama approached our table, obtaining his drink from kiyoko and bowing to me and yachi. leaving soon afterwards, and our eyes didn’t even meet. i didn’t even get the chance to greet him.
“i wanna go home” i whispered softly but enough for yachi and kiyoko to hear it. biting my own lips, i fiddled with my fingers— not paying attention to everyone’s stories, and i didn’t even realize that all of us had formed a circle to talk better.
“how about you, y/n?” tanaka asked, nudging me since he’s sitting beside me and yachi. raising his eyebrow at me who’s confused.
“how about what?”
“college”
“oh.. oh! umm i’m actually doing fine-“ my sentence got cut off by tsukki who chuckled loudly.
“yes, fine crying whenever she’s working on her assignment” he teased, resulting in me throwing a piece of green bean to his head, laughing for the first time tonight.
“really?! didn’t expect that from you!” asahi also raised his eyebrow at me, and before i got the chance to answer, tsukki already answered for me.
“yeah. we’re in the same literature class and the same art course. she’s always talking about coping with sadness and heartbreak. once i caught her crying because we were talking about a volleyball setter who fell in love with someone on the crowd— she’s probably still crying and thinking about kageyama, but she’s a strong one.” my eyes widened, kageyama who’s sitting across from me seemed like he don’t even care, listening to tsukki’s snarky story and looking at me uninterested. i sighed softly, trying to reason with tsukki’s remarks.
“no, actually. i’ve been watching and studying about romance novels and movies. i find it fascinating how love works, sometimes it’s beautiful and sometimes it hurts like hell. there’s no in-between. i find it odd that people love romance novels, it hurts my head.” i laughed bitterly while locking eyes with kageyama, but laughing when i saw nishinoya hitting tsukki in the back of his head after.
“how about you, tanaka? i heard you’re going to finally ask kiyoko out again. ready to get rejected again?” i teased, nudging him back.
and at least it was fine.
it was fine for a couple of minutes.
“hey.” his voice was too familiar. i know his voice unconsciously.
“hi”
fuck. i hate it. i hate this. my voice is softer and sadder than what i intended it to be and once again, i’m wondering why yachi told me to get the drinks at the fridge when it’s stacked back there in the backyard.
“need some help?” kageyama asked, opening a small carton of milk which made me want to smile. he’s not a drinker, he didn’t even drink that much when we know that we’re already legal to drink.
milk will always be his favorite.
“i don’t know why yachi sent me here, we still have a lot of drinks back there”
“can we talk, then?” kageyama asked, already finished with his small carton of milk, throwing it to the trash.
i nodded hesitantly- following him to daichi’s garden, which is actually quite far from the backyard, giving kageyama and i the privacy that we need.
“how have you been, y/n?” he asked after we both sat down in the bench, and i can only sigh. i don’t have any comments.
“i’ve been good”
“not really according to tsukki’s story”
“he’s making it up, tob- kageyama.”
“we both know he’s the most honest person in this house right now”
kageyama chuckled bitterly as well, i didn’t even dare to look at his eyes- instead i just hugged myself, trying to warm myself up due to this atmosphere and the damn weather that’s oddly cold.
“how about you?”
“i’m doing great with college. national team is doing amazing as well, and i got offered to play in europe” kageyama smiled, nodding his head slowly, giving me short glances every so often.
“are you going, kageyama?” i asked softly, trying to convince myself that he’s not leaving me again for the second time.
“yes, we’re leaving in 2 days.  we’ll be in europe for 10 days only, though. but i might get offers and matches if we win. i get to take another person too, and i have someone already” and i feel like i’ve been suffocated.
i nodded, closing my eyes for a short time while looking at the sky.
“i’m happy for you, really” i smiled, this time i feel like freezing too and kageyama seemed to notice- frantically taking off his denim jacket, draping it on my smaller body.
“why didn’t you tell me you were cold, stupid?” kageyama huffed, pulling me closer to him and giving me a hug in attempt to warm me up.
i didn’t want to hug him back, but it was an automatic response from me. i was grasping his black shirt and i didn’t realize i’m crying already. fuck. i bottled it up, and it’s my time to explode.
“hey, y/n? what’s wrong?”
“please don’t leave me again” i whimpered quietly, tightening my hug on him.
i’ve lost all of my sanity and all of my guards are off tonight.
“what-“
“i can handle you breaking up with me but i can’t handle having you completely gone from my life especially if you have someone else, tobio. i really can’t. i’m happy for you i really am, i’m proud of you for achieving your dreams and going overseas for matches- but i don’t wanna lose you, tobio.” calling him tobio for the first time in months made me relieved but also in pain.
“you didn’t give me a chance to speak-“ i pulled away from the hug, wiping my own tears, standing up from my seat.
“i don’t think i could ever hear it. i shouldn’t have come today, i shouldn’t have go. i thought meeting you would resolve my feelings for you but no, tobio. i can’t get over you, i will never get over you, and it would be better if you didn’t say that you’re leaving. i can’t- i love you too much“
“stop it, y/n” kageyama also stood up, hugging me tighter this time, the sound of our friend’s laughs are faded since all i can hear is his breathing and his heartbeat.
“i’m glad if our feelings are still mutuals”
i stopped crying, looking at kageyama with my teary eyes, he wipes it with his thumbs. i can’t say anything right now.
“i’m sorry. it won’t be enough because i know i was so stupid and you deserve better than me. i’m sorry for not spending my time with you as i used to, i’m sorry for ignoring your texts and calls whenever you’re worried about me, i’m sorry about all of my wrongdoings. i’m sorry. i’m really sorry.” it’s kageyama’s turn to divert his eyes from my gaze.
“why didn’t you say this sooner?”
“i’m too scared of losing you too. we both have the same fear. i didn’t know what’s better for us.” kageyama fixed my hair, putting a strand of hair behind my ear.
“you’re really a different one, tobio” i smiled, tears still staining my eyes- but kageyama is always there to wipe it away.
“y/n, can i kiss you?” kageyama asked, licking his lips while holding my face with both of his hands.
i nodded my head, putting my hand on his hands, feeling his lips on mine after months of heartbreak and pain. after thinking that the both of us are never meant to be. after being tired of our fears.
“and i hope you don’t mind that i looked through your schedule and that your semester break already started, thanks to the courtesy of smart tsukki, because we’re going to europe.”
i smiled, shaking my head and pulling kageyama to kiss my again, transferring his warmth to my body.
“i don’t mind. did you tell tsukki? i’m surprised he wants to help you.”
“yes. he suggested this, actually. and everyone knows, this reunion is actually my plan. i know you wouldn’t stand hinata and nishinoya pestering you into going, i’m also glad sugawara bumped into you, he can bother you too and it worked.” kageyama laughs, giving me another peck on my lips.
“you’re evil”
“y/n?”
“yes?”
“i love you. this is the first day that i will love you recklessly and carelessly, and i’ll continue to love you forevermore” kageyama’s words shocked me, earning a smile from me and a kiss.
“and i as well, will love you forevermore, tobio kageyama.”
and he’s mine. again.
AAAAHHHHHH thank you so much for reading the whole thing!!! i am going to cry this is so poorly written and i wrote this at 4am and i was half sleepy, i haven’t got the time to edit this but i hope dearest readers who are here enjoyed it!!! T_____T

prompt list #3 (winter/christmas edition)
“Hey, it’s snowing outside.”
“God, you’re shivering so much— just take my jacket.”
“Don’t you dare throw that snowball.”
“Let’s cuddle to stay warm.”
“I made you hot chocolate, with marshmallows, of course.”
“I got you a present.”
“You’ve never seen snow before?”
“I swear I didn’t plan this, but… we’re under the mistletoe right now.”
“Come sit by the fireplace with me.”
“Help me wrap up these presents.”
“Let’s bake cookies!”
“If I freeze to death, I’m blaming you.”
“Just hold my hand, I won’t let you slip.”
“I guess we’re stuck here until the snow dies down.”
“So, are you going to be my New Year’s kiss?”
“My snowman looks better than yours.”
“If you play one more Christmas song, I’m going to smash my head through the wall.”
“We need to go buy a Christmas tree.”
“I’m not telling you what your gift is, you’re going to have to wait until Christmas!”
“Do I smell burning?”
“By the way, I might’ve told everyone that you’re my date because I didn’t want to go to this Christmas party alone.”
“Oh, we definitely have to go ice skating now that I know you’ve never done it before!”
“Come decorate the Christmas tree!”
“Oh no, we need to go emergency gift shopping right now!”
“I’ve never seen such an ugly sweater before. I love it.”
“Uh, surprise! I’m your Secret Santa.”
“You’re going to be home for the holidays, right?”
“Our gingerbread house is falling apart!”
“Oh, I need a lot more wine to get me through this dinner.”
“Ugh, I’ve caught a cold.”
“I have about thirty more Christmas cards to write and I’m nowhere near finished.”
“You can’t go outside in this weather.”
“I swear, I’ve never met anyone as festive as you.”
“God, is our first kiss really going to be under the mistletoe?”
“Dinner is supposed to start in twenty minutes and I’ve burned half the food and don’t have time to cook the rest.”
“I’m freezing my ass off.”
“I promise you, my parents are delighted to have you over for the holidays, and they’re so excited to meet you.”
“I need another blanket.”
“Your hands are so cold.”
“Our gingerbread men look like gingerbread blobs.” 
“Exactly how many candy canes have you eaten?”
“You’re lucky I love you, or else I would kill you for spilling hot chocolate all over my favorite sweater.”
“Surprise! I’m your Christmas gift.”
“Do you want some tea?”
“Is that my scarf?”
“You’ve had some brilliant ideas in the past, but driving through a snowstorm only to get stuck on the road has truly been your best idea.”
“Let’s frost the cookies!”
“I hate the cold so much.”
“Do we really need another box of sparkly, glittery ornaments?”
“Best Christmas ever.”
“Who knew you were actually a decent baker?”
“I didn’t think it was possible for someone to suck so badly at gift wrapping, but here you are.”
“You can’t tell them Santa’s not real!”
“I hate Christma—” “Don’t you dare finish that sentence.”
“Let’s just stay in here, where it’s warm.”
“Please just come to this New Year’s party with me.”
“Look! Fireworks!”
“You look adorable covered in snow.”
“I bet I’m a faster ice skater than you.”
“I kind of got too drunk at this New Year’s party and I need you to pick me up.”
“That is the most hideous sweater I’ve ever seen, and yet, somehow, you’re pulling it off.”
“It’s our first holiday together.”
“I got matching sweaters for us and the cat!”
“I’m still mad at you, but I’m going to ignore our argument just for today since it’s Christmas.”
“How could you not tell me your parents are coming over today?!”
“I told you to wear a bigger jacket.”
“Hey, careful, you’re going to slip!”
“You just saved Christmas.”
“How did you manage to get tangled in the lights?”
“Please don’t tell me you’re going out wearing the tinsel like a scarf.”
“I’m glad I get to spend the holidays with you.”
“Fuck it, a new year is about to start, and I can’t go another year hiding this from you — I love you.”
“Hey, you were the one who insisted on throwing a Christmas party, even when I told you it’d be a nightmare to plan!”
“Can you help me put the star on top of the tree?”
“If I fall, I’m dragging you down with me.”
“Your snow angel looks deformed.”
“I suck at giving gifts, but… I hope you still like it.”
“We’re totally putting this picture on the Christmas cards.”
“Did you spike our hot chocolate?”
“It’s New Year’s. Of course I’m drunk.”
“I got us matching Christmas socks.”
“Please tell me you kept the dog in the other room, away from the presents.”
“Hey, you started this snowball fight, and now I have to finish it.”
“We need a bigger tree!”
“Yeah, I’ve never made a pie before, but how hard can it be?”
“How are you not cold?!”
“I know it’s cliché but… all I want for Christmas is you.”
“I usually hate the holiday season, but it’s a little more bearable with you.”
“Are you still mad because I ate the last cookie?”
“Winter is the best season.” “I beg to differ.”
“Please just dress up as Santa for the kids.”
“I’m telling you, going down this snowy hill on your makeshift sleigh is a bad idea.”
“I wish you could be here to celebrate with us.”
“Oh, you’re so warm, don’t ever let go of me.”
“It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year!”
“I refuse to go outside, it’s like the North Pole out there!”
“I was hoping I’d see you at this party.”
“Just step a little closer to me… to your left… woah! Would you look at that, we’re under the mistletoe, what a complete and utter coincidence!”
“I will treasure this gift forever.”
“Happy New Year, baby. I can’t wait to spend another year with you.”

Water Fountain “Prequel”
Tumblr media
♡ Pairing- Jungkook X Reader
♡ Genre- Romance (No Smut) 
♡Description- Prequel to Let Me Down Slowly. You were always told that you weren’t beautiful from your boyfriend but you loved him and he was the only thing you knew but everything changed in one night by the water fountain.
♡ Again thank you @artofediting for editing all my story. Seriously love you I dont know what I will do without you.😭😭
♡ Word Count- 4,144
                                                                                                                Part 1>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You first saw him taking pictures, looking ethereal as the sun shone around him. You couldn’t bring yourself to look away, and the book in your lap was soon forgotten. You somehow knew that if you didn’t approach him now, then you would never have another chance. No way someone crosses paths with an angel twice.
Without giving yourself a way you out, you muster up the courage and begin to stroll over to where his lens was transfixed on a particular flower. He was kneeling close to the ground, snapping close shots when you timidly tapped him on the shoulder. Oh no. What if you interrupted him somehow? What if this was his ‘artistic’ time or something, and you just ruined his concentration. Your thoughts go into overdrive as you stand petrified, watching him turn around as if it were in slow motion. However, as soon as he peered his big brown doe eyes up at you, all your fears vanished. If you thought he was beautiful from the park bench you sat on, then he was truly from the heavens when you saw him this close. His questioning expression brings you out of your silent adoration as you realize that he’s probably wondering why a strange woman just walked up and poked him.
“Oh! I, uh, I’m sorry to bother you, but I figured that if I didn’t come talk to you now, then I might never get another chance to.” You internally grimace. You didn’t mean to be so straightforward, but honesty is the best policy, right?
At your remark, his expression softens as he rises to his feet. Damn, how tall was this giant? He loomed over you by nearly a foot, casting a shadow over you with his back towards the sun. He peers down at you with those sparkly doe eyes and grins shyly. He begins to rub the back of his neck nervously and a red tint colors his cheeks. W-wait? Was he blushing? Did you make this Adonis-like man blush? You quickly give yourself a mental high-five before he finally responds.
“Haha, thanks? What did you mean to, uh, talk about then?” He asks sheepishly. Gah, even his shyness drew you in, even though you normally went for. . . well, overconfident assholes based on all your exes. Whoops. A girl’s gotta learn.
“Honestly, I know this is rather forward, and I’ve never done something quite this impulsive, but would-you-sort-of-want-to-go-out-on-a-date-with-me?” You rush the last words out in fear of your impending rejection. You’re well aware of your looks, but overall you know nothing could ever compare to the man in front of you. Hell, you weren’t even sure there was a person in his league. Besides this, he doesn’t even know you. Heavens above, what were you thinking?!?
“I’m sorry, uh, could you repeat that last part? I couldn’t quite catch it” he responds chuckling. His laugh was another form of endearment, but also FUCK you had to ask again. Your eyes fall to peer at the delicate, white flower on the ground while you scraped together any remaining confidence. You let out a puff of air and stare him dead in the eye.
“I would really like it if you went on a date with me, and I know that sounds crazy and you could be a psychopath, well not that you are one, I mean I could be the psychopath—oh! But I-I’m not I swear, I was just—"
“Woah, okay, I believe you,” he laughs. “This is a first for us both then, but why not? When are you free?”
“Hmm, wow I didn’t think I’d get this far, but I’m free next Saturday? Does that work?”
“I actually finish up a photoshoot that morning, so it’s perfect. Should we meet somewhere, or do you want me to pick you up?” His hand resumes its habit of rubbing his neck.
“Let’s just meet somewhere for now,” you giggle at his nervousness. “Do you know where the water fountain at the front of the park is?”
“Yea, that’s one of my favorite spots to shoot,” he replies.
“Great! So, 5pm Saturday, waterfront?”
“Sounds good to me, but, uh, can I also have your phone? To put my number in? Also, I’m Jungkook by the way, haha. Guess I should have led with that.” He says this as he stretches out his hand, and it takes every bit of restraint to not accidentally throw your phone at him. With great skill, you calmly pull out the device and gently place it in his hand.
“Right! No! I should have introduced myself first. I’m y/n.” Once he finishes typing in his number, he throws you a big grin.
“Right, so just, text me when you get home. Or whenever. If you want. Oh, I would walk you home too, but I need to take a few more shots and—"
“It’s okay,” you calm him down with the softest of smiles. I guess you weren’t the only one who was a little clumsy in the flirting scene. “I’ll text you later, alright?” His face brightens at this, and he winks at you before he’s walking away to another small patch of flowers to digitally capture. You only stare for a few seconds longer before you begin your short journey back to your apartment.
As you walked down the sidewalk, breathing in the crisp autumn air, you felt a strong sense of pride. You had never done anything that bold, and the fact that you were courageous enough to do it and that it worked out perfectly really boosted your confidence. You had nearly a week until your first date with Jungkook, but ideas of your outfit were already swirling through your mind. You continued walking (nearly skipping) down the sidewalk, with a newfound sense of something you couldn’t quite put your finger on. You weren’t sure why, but you had a good feeling about this one.  
Once you arrived back to your place, you immediately peel off your clothes and step into a hot shower to relax, thoughts of your recent encounter replaying in the forefront of your mind. Afterward, you snuggle up in your pj’s and a face mask and head to the kitchen to make yourself some dinner. Hmm, instant noodles? Yes, please.
Settling into your bed with your steaming bowl of noodles, you turn on the tv and begin to flip through the channels for something interesting. However, nothing catches your eye as your mind is far away from whatever was on the TV. You replayed the first time you met Jungkook. Which was in his mind officially this past afternoon, but the first time you ever encountered him was a while ago. The first time you ran into him was actually at a block party.
________________________________________________________________
You were at your apartment putting the last few touches on your makeup and triple-checking your outfit in the mirror. Your then-boyfriend, Jackson, had just sent you a text that he was on his way to pick you up. You honestly didn’t care for the party scene, but Jackson believed that life wasn’t worth living without partying. While you would have been happy to let him go alone, the last time he came back from a part he was covered with hickies that “were just from a dare.” All your friends kept nagging you to break up with him, but you loved him--well, what you thought love was anyways--and you also knew that no one else would be interested in you.
You grew up thinking you were fairly good looking, but when you started dating Jackson he would occasionally throw in some “pointers” (as he called them) in order to “bring out your natural beauty.” It began with “You look great when you wear that, babe” to “You should wear more things like this; it’d look great on you” and eventually to “I thought you wanted to look good when you go out” and “Well, I know the other girls are going to look like this…” It grew into a comfortable routine for your boyfriend to tell you that you were lucky to have him. He used to say it in a joking tone, but not so much anymore. He’s recently added the “If I hadn’t taken you out, I don’t know if anyone else would? Right hun?”. It was gradual. He slowly tore you down bit by bit, and you put up with it because he was so sweet and loving at the beginning. Surely, he still loves you and just wants the best for you. That’s what you’ve made yourself believe. He eventually took to sleeping around every so often. Each time he claimed that it was because you were bad in bed, but that you two could work on it together. You had given your virginity to him a few times after he came back with hickies. You hoped this would make it so he would only want you. After he slept with someone else, you were knee-deep in your own lies to see his own. Yeah, maybe you were bad in bed. But it’s sweet of him to suggest that you could work on it together right? That meant that he wanted to sleep with you again, so you’re headed in the right direction. You knew these were lies, but you were too scared to not believe them.
As these thoughts flee from your mind, and you check your mirror for the umpteenth time. You were wearing a figure-hugging, black mini with a red pair of stilettos. Your friends texted and tried to hype you up with comments like “YES HOT MAMA” and “YOU LOOK LIKE SINNNNN,” but all you could see in the mirror were two boxes: pass or fail. You finally hear a knock on the door 20 minutes past the time Jackson said he would be there. Your stomach immediately twists in knots. You had spent the whole day getting ready, hoping to catch a glint in your boyfriend’s eye when he sees you. You grab your purse, and half walk-half trot to pull open the door. Without even a side glance towards you, he struts into your apartment like he owns the place.
“You ready?” he finally acknowledges you as he searches the kitchen to pour himself a drink.
“Uh, yeah-yeah, I just need to get my jacket” you reply as you slip on the red leather jacket from the back of the couch. Eventually, his eyes land on the already opened bottle of vodka on the counter.
“Ah, I see you started without me?” he asks with a smirk. You slightly grimace at your sudden exposure. The only reason you were drinking early was to get the courage to go out to this party. He shrugs at your lack of response and pours himself a cup. After twisting the cap on, he strolls back to the door and swings it open, waiting for you to walk through first. You scrunch your nose slightly confused at the gesture until it suddenly makes sense as you walk through, and he slaps your ass harshly. You squeal and jump away at the move.
“Sorry, hun. But couldn’t you have waited on me to start drinking?”
“Oh-uh, right. I’m sorry, I know I normally wait to drink when I’m with you.”
“Ah, it’s okay,” he responds as you both step into the elevator. “Oh! I see you put some effort in with the makeup tonight yeah?” He takes a long sip of his drink as you turn away to blush. He rarely recognized your effort... “Yeah, you look better than normal. We’ll keep getting better until you’re finally able to keep up with all the other party girls, right?” He nudges your side with his elbow and offers you a smooth grin like you weren’t recovering from the backhanded compliment. When the elevator doors open to the lobby, you trail behind him, letting his comments sink in. He was right after all; you could never match up to those girls at all the parties.
When you finally arrived at the house, the party was well underway. The yard was already trashed with beer cans, and you could see the mass of bodies swaying against each other through the doorway. You and your boyfriend enter and immediately head for his group of friends on the opposite side of the house. You quickly excuse yourself to go make a drink. Jackson offers a small wave and continues recalling a story from another party while his friends chuckle along like dumbasses. His stories were never that good in your opinion, but hey, he put up with all the stuff you did that he didn’t like. You go to make yourself a drink in the kitchen but end up standing there scrolling through your phone. By the time you finish off your last sip, it’s been nearly an hour. You weren’t really concerned at your unexcused absence because Jackson never really noticed. He and his buddies were most likely all trashed by now anyways. When you make your way back to their spot, his friends were all there with some new girls, but your boyfriend was nowhere to be found. Gaining the attention of one of his friends, you try to ask him.
“Hey! Hey! Sorry I’m shouting it’s just so loud in here! But did you see where Jackson went!?!?” His brows furrow for a moment as his drunk brain processes what you said.
“OH! Jackson?!? O H, yeah sorry toots, but Jackson just went upstairs with another gal. You snooze you lose I guess” he responds and turns back to the girl clawing for his attention.
What??? He did what?? Even when I am here, he STILL goes and finds another girl!! You know what, fine. I’m done. I rather be alone at home than dragged to parties I hate AND be alone. This is the last time; I’m done with him. You grab the shoulder of that same guy and tug him around.
           “HEY! Whenever Jackson gets back, tell him not to bother looking for me. I’m done with him.” The guy nods without much care, and you begin pulling yourself through the crowds to get to the kitchen. After downing one cup and pouring another, you start your journey to the front door. When you had first arrived, you saw a pretty lawn fountain in the front, and you figure you could hang there unnoticed while waiting for your uber.
You were fairly tipsy when you finally navigated yourself out of the house and stumbled to the fountain. There were some beautiful decoration rocks at the bottom of the fountain, and in your inebriated state, you decided that you were going to reach in and grab one as a keepsake of the worst night of your life. You wiped your mascara-smeared, tear-stained face and lean forward to grab one of the rocks. But in your drunken state, you overestimated your remaining coordination causing you to flail as gravity tries to pull you face-first into the water. You squeeze your eyes shut as you mentally prepare for the harsh cold when you instead feel a firm grip around your waist. As you’re pulled up and away from the fountain you turn to see your saving grace.
You were at a complete loss for words when your saving grace just also happens to be the most beautiful creation you had ever laid eyes on. You soon begin to heat up and you’re sure you’re now completely red BECAUSE your drunk ass just nearly faceplanted in front of the aforementioned beautiful creation. You stumble for words as he still holds you tightly to himself.
“I-uh, b-, than—, uh, sorry, I jus—” his nose scrunches cutely at your blabbering as he helps you straighten and stand on your own, but not yet fully releasing your waist.
“Did you drop something?” he finally interrupts you.
“Huh?” you ask dumbly.
“In the fountain? Did you drop something in the fountain and try to get it out?” he restates.
“O-Oh! Haha, well, no. See, I saw this beautiful rock and I wanted it” You explain like it’s the most obvious reason. His eyes turn to smile as he laughs at your story.
“You’re pretty cute,” he says as his eyes flit over your probably atrocious looking face. You were about to thank him for pretending his compliment when you suddenly get tugged back by the shoulder and slapped (spanked is more correct because it was intended as punishment) hard on the ass.
“No, she’s not” Jackson responded through a clenched smile towards the man, and a death sentence glare towards you. Your eyes quickly fall to your feet knowing where this was headed. You were used to his humiliation tactics honestly. You just hated that he had to do it in front of the cute stranger.
“Now, that really isn’t something you should say to a lovely woman such as herself." You whip your head up in shock as a pretty pink coats your cheeks. You can’t remember the last time you were genuinely complimented like that. No aggressiveness, no “pointers”, just admiration. The sudden high you received from the comment gave you enough clarity for what you were about to say. You rip yourself from Jackson’s grip and turn to him.
“Jackson, that is it! I’m done with you! You’ve left me for other girls time and time again, and even when I come with you tonight, you still leave me to go hook up with some other girl. You don’t like me anyway so let’s be done with this and just leave each other alone, okay?” Jackson’s face held a harsh glare for a moment until he broke into a smirk, chuckling.
“Whatever, you were just another whore to mess around with anyways.” He turned to head back into the party without a second glance, and just like that, he walked away from you and out of your life. While there was a relief that you would no longer have to deal with him, the fear of being forever alone and unwanted began to set in. Jackson had truly made you believe you were worthless. Tears begin to stream down your face once more, and you let out a quiet sob when you feel a warm grip on your shoulder.
“Hey,” the stranger calls softly. You had nearly forgotten he was there. Warmth floods your face in humiliation.
“Look, I-I’m so sorry for my boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend, and I just—gah, I’m sorry. . . wait I don’t even know your name—” you speak through tears.
“Jungkook,” he answers warmly. “Jeon Jungkook.”
“Oh, thanks, Jungkook. And I’m sorry again about the guy and the tears and me. I’m Y/N by the way. Y/N Y/L/N.
“Y/N, a fitting name for such a beautiful woman.”
“Are you drunk?” You abruptly question. There was no way someone like him would have said that sober. His face shows he’s slightly taken aback, but he responds humorously.
“Uh, well yes” he laughs. You drop your head. You knew he couldn’t have actually found you pretty. But then a soft touch under your chin is slowly lifting your head until your eyes meet his glassy doe eyes.
“But you’re beautiful whether I’m drunk or not.” He whispers, and you can’t help but smile. There was something about him (besides his devastatingly handsome good looks) that sparked something within you. You aren’t sure if it was because he stood up for you, or if it was because you were sad and needed comfort. You weren’t sure what it was at the time, but before you could rationalize your actions you stood up on your toes to plant a soft kiss on his lips. It was sudden, short and sweet. But it was also like a thank you, mixed with whatever that other feeling was. As your lips separated, your thoughts suddenly crowded you, trained to pounce on you when you’re happiest. What are you even thinking? He was probably just being nice. He wants nothing to do with you. Can’t you see how drunk he is? He probably won’t even remember this.
“I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. I’m nowhere close to being beautiful, especially for you, and you’re too drunk to realize that and—"Panic begins to overwhelm you. You’re rambling and you hated yourself for not begin good enough. Not good enough for Jackson, not good enough for yourself, and certainly not good enough for Jungkook. Your eyes begin to look around searching for anything to pull you out of the chaos. Then you feel him wrapping his arms tight around you, bringing you into his arms in a tight embrace. His hand begins to smooth down the hair on your head as he whispers to calm you down.
“Hey, hey hey, shhh. I know it’s hard. Bad relationships can tear people apart, and from the little bit I saw, he didn’t seem to be a keeper. I don’t know your whole story, and you don’t know mine. You don’t think I’ll remember this, and I could say the same of you, but from tonight do this one thing for me okay?” You nod your head slightly against his chest as your breathing begins to level out.
“You’re beautiful. Not because I said so, and not because anyone else does. You’re beautiful because you simply are, and no one can add to that and no one can take that away. Just remember that one thing for me if you forget everything else. And I’ll remember the pretty girl who nearly face-planted into the water fountain.” You pull back and lightly push at him away as you both break into soft laughter.
“At least I’m memorable right? Haha.”
“You are most certainly memorable.” He responds more seriously.
Before either of you could make another move, your phone buzzes alerting you that your uber was on the street.
“Well, it looks like it’s time for me to go home. Thank you for being my good memory.” As you turn to walk away, he softly responds.
“Thanks for being mine.” He was sure you didn’t hear him, but you did. And you knew that no matter what, you would treasure tonight because of it. Even though it came from an inebriated stranger, his words did more healing for you than he would ever know.
________________________________________________________________
Your forgotten noodles are entirely too cold to eat once you come out of your memories. Yeah, you remember that night rather well. Better than he thought I would, and obviously better than he did since he didn’t recognize me. Your friends have asked you why you remember that night so well, and why you give a stranger so much credit for setting you on your path to rebuilding your confidence. Your answer remains the same each time. It’s because that night marks the first time you ever believed in the concept of true love: for another, and for yourself.
           The next Saturday you’re placing the last finishing touches on your makeup. Just come concealer, a little bit of powder, and then mascara. Just enough to make you feel a little extra pretty. You quickly check your reflection in the mirror, and with a soft grin you head out towards the park. As you approach the fountain from a distance you see him first. You can’t help the blush you feel as you get closer. Suddenly his eyes catch yours, and you both draw in a breath as you meet.
“Hey there” you greet with a smile.
“You look stunning,” He comments before even returning the greeting. “Oh, and hey, hi. Haha,,,ready to head over? The movie is about to start.” He grins at you.
“Yeah, let’s do it. I have a feeling I won’t ever forget tonight” you reply softly, grinning down at your feet, attempting to hide how fiercely you’re blushing. He’s quick to lift your head up by your chin and peer into your eyes.
“You don’t need to hide from me. You’re beautiful, and I don’t think I could ever forget the memories we’ll make.” He glances back at the water fountain before chuckling lightly. “You know, I once met a beautiful, shy girl by a water fountain at a party a few years back.” Your eyes snap over in time to see his mischievous smile as he winks at you and begins to walk down the street towards the theater.
“Jeon Jungkook you get back here and explain yourself!” You shriek as you run after him, and he begins to pick up speed down the street. As you case after him, you can’t help but think to yourself, please never let us forget each other.

Love in a Laundromat - SaifahZon, T, Ch. 2/?
Summary: Zon's favorite place is a laundromat. That is until a certain tall, handsome stranger steals his washer and seems hellbent on making Zon miserable.
Notes: Chapter 2! Unexpected Zon Angst! This is lookin’ like it’ll be longer than 4 chapters now oops
Read below or on ao3! :)
“You one hundred percent overreacted,” Tutor says after Zon recounts the whole encounter at the laundromat the night before.
It’s Friday afternoon and they’re doing their usual study session. The two of them are in different majors, but Zon struggles with some general studies and Tutor appreciates Zon’s company when studying gets too heavy and he needs Zon to make him laugh.
“It’s a washing machine, Zon.”
“Yeah, but I alw—”
“If you say ‘always’ one more time,” Tutor says, gaze steady and scary, “then I’m never tutoring you again.”
Zon’s mouth slams shut.
“And even though you're complaining, I know you're feeling guilty so just apologize to him,” Tutor continues, returning his attention to the math notes he’s reviewing. “You’re good at it because you have to do it so often.”
Zon huffs and pouts. What Tutor says is true. Zon is stubborn and childish, but he knows when he’s messed up. Apologies aren’t easy but he always feels worse if he doesn’t do them.
“Who knows if I’ll even see him again?” Zon mumbles, twirling his pen around his fingers. “That tall asshole giraffe might be scared off.”
For some reason that makes Tutor perk up. “How tall was he?”
Zon’s nose scrunches as he thinks back. “I don’t know? Like, 192 cm?”
“Was he handsome?”
The guy’s face instantly flashes through Zon’s mind. Not that it ever left. It’s annoying, actually, how he couldn’t stop thinking about that stupid, cocky smirk, that taunting eyebrow raise, those nice arms and pretty lips and—
“Definitely not,” Zon snaps back but can’t top the tip of his ears from turning red.
Tutor gives him a look that says he doesn’t believe him. “Did he tell you his name?"
“No. Why?”
The sudden mischievous glint in Tutor’s eye puts Zon on edge. “No reason. Oh, if you want to apologize you should buy him an iced coffee with cinnamon and vanilla syrup."
Then, before Zon can ask what the hell he’s talking about, Tutor uses the I’m-never-tutoring-you-again threat a second time and flicks Zon in the forehead to prove he’s serious.
*
The next Thursday, Zon arrives a little later than normal. He's decided to take Tutor's advice (like he always does) and stopped by the nearest coffee shop. He's partially hoping Tall Asshole Giraffe won't be there, but when Zon steps up to the door and sees the back of the guy's head, his heart skips a beat. Zon has to turn away to calm himself down, then it takes a good minute to psyche himself up again.
Juggling a laundry basket and a large iced coffee while opening the door is an unexpected challenge. Zon steps backwards, preparing to push it with his shoulder, when it suddenly opens. Zon’s balance is thrown off, but a hand, large and warm, catches his lower back and steadies him before he can fall.
Zon looks to see who caught him and immediately goes back to unsteady.
"Careful,” Tall Asshole Giraffe says, “or you'll throw laundry everywhere again." 
Zon sputters. Tall Asshole Giraffe is so close that Zon's back hits the door when he jumps away.
"Don't make fun of me!"
Now at least Zon is annoyed enough to feel less stupid about the coffee. He shoves the drink into the guy's chest.
"Here!"
Tall Asshole Giraffe hesitantly takes the drink, staring at it with utter confusion. "What's this for?"
"It's an apology." Zon shuffles from one foot to the next. His grip on his basket is starting to shake but he forces himself to look at the other's face. "Sorry for yelling at you last week."
The guy goes speechless for only half a second, but it’s long enough for Zon to feel proud he isn’t the one caught off guard for once.
“Is it poisoned?” Tall Asshole Giraffe asks.
“No!” Zon says, louder than he means to. “I don’t know how to poison things!”
With that Zon shoves his way forward, purposely putting his laundry basket between them so they don’t touch. He storms over towards his usual washer. Annoyance is already rising because he knows the asshole is probably using it.
Except the machine currently shaking and buzzing isn’t Zon’s; it’s the one next to it, placed between his and the wall.
“Wait…,” Zon says and swirls around, sneakers squeaking. He stabs a finger towards his washer, currently not in use. “Why aren’t you using my...this machine?”
Tall Asshole Giraffe shrugs and takes a sip of his drink. His eyes light up like a puppy. Guess Tutor’s input on the coffee order had been bang on. “I thought about it, but you seem to have a powerful connection to it.”
“What the hell, don’t make it weird!”
“Hey, hey, I get it, promise. We all have something like that.” Tall Asshole Giraffe takes another drink and smirks around the straw. “It was pretty fun to make you mad, though.”
The smirk sends Zon somewhere between angry and swooning. The childish side takes over and he yanks open the washer’s door, pointedly ignoring the laugh his annoyed, puffed out cheeks earn him.
It isn't until Zon is shoving his clothes into his washing machine that Tall Asshole Giraffe says, "I’m Saifah, by the way.”
‘Saifah’ is a much... nicer name than Tall Asshole Giraffe. Zon nods, trying to be casual despite the way his goddam heart jumps again at the new information. “I’m Zon.”
"I know."
Zon turns his head so fast he's pretty sure he gets whiplash. "You know?"
"You're Tutor's friend."
"I am?” Zon shakes his head, trying to get his bearings back and not sound like a complete moron. “I mean, yeah, I am. And you...You know Tutor?"
“We’re pretty close since we're in the same major.”
That gives Zon pause. Saifah... now that he’s heard it, that name does sound familiar. Then why hadn’t Saifah introduced himself the first two times they met, if he knew who Zon was? And why didn’t Tutor...
Zon glances at the coffee in Saifah's hand. Iced with vanilla syrup and cinnamon.
Oh, that little shit. Tutor is about to get fifteen texts. They will be single, angry emojis, and Zon hopes they wake Fighter up so that Tutor has to deal with his grumpy ass.
Saifah rests his shoulder against the empty machine next to Zon's. Even leaning like that, Saifah's a head taller than Zon. A mischievous glimmer makes Saifah’s eyes damn near sparkly. "I've seen you around."
Zon’s mouth drops open and his cheeks are going to be permanently stained red at this point. He starts to stutter out some response that was about to be far from eloquent. But then Saifah raises the iced coffee to his mouth again and holds Zon’s gaze as he wraps his lips around the straw—
Music suddenly bursts from Zon's pocket. Zon has never been more grateful for a phone call in his life.
Of course, Saifah quirks a smile when Zon fumbles to answer it without even checking the caller ID.
Then the voice on the other end says Zon’s name and he very much wishes he had checked it.
“Hi, Mom,” Zon replies.
“Your sister mentioned you updated your story yesterday.”
Welp, straight to the point like Mom always was.
Did you even read the chapter? Zon thinks. But he bites the words back like he always does. He used to ask but the answers have been, “I didn’t have time” or “It’s not the genre I enjoy” for so long, it’s pointless to hope for a different answer now. 
“Mom, it’s late,” Zon groans. Sometimes he wishes he hadn’t inherited his mother’s night owl tendencies. If he hadn’t, he would be sleeping right now and not having this repetitive conversation they've had a hundred times before. “Do we need to do this right now?”
“Don’t try to hang up on me. I know you do laundry on Thursday nights and that laundromat is always empty, so I know you’re alone.”
Zon’s eyes shift to Saifah before he can stop himself. Zon is half-expecting to make eye contact with Saifah and his heart speeds up at the possibility, but the other boy is playing a game on his phone. Whatever’s happening must be challenging, because there’s a crease in his brow and his lips are pursed in a pout. Zon can’t stop staring at it, wondering what else Saifah’s lips can do—
“Zon!”
“Uh, yes!”
Oh, great. Now Saifah is looking at him. Zon blushes so hot he can’t even offer an awkward smile before turning away.
“Are you listening?” his mom demands instead of asks.
“Yes,” Zon says again and sighs. “Mom—”
“Honey,” his mom interrupts, “I know you enjoy writing, but you need to focus on your studies.”
And there it is. Only one minute, forty-three seconds in, according to the call time when Zon glances at it. Top three quickest times. Impressive.
“You’re going to law school because you’re good at arguing.” His mother laughs like her pride at that part of Zon should soothe away the sting of her words. “Focus on your strengths, alright? The semester is almost over, so you’ll have plenty of time for...” She hums, searching for the right term, “hobbies then.”
A hobby. That’s all they want Zon’s writing to be. That’s all they believe it ever can be.
Not like his sister. Zol is popular. Her stories get millions of views and she can run ads on them and she’s already making an impressive amount of money. The comments are always positive and “can’t wait for more.” His parents share links to her stories on facebook. When Zon goes home for dinner a few times a month, the conversation is always Zol describing the next chapter or where she gets inspiration from. He loves his sister. For siblings so close in age, they get along better than most. Sure, they bicker and Zol tattles on him more than she should, but they would go to the ends of the earth for each other. But it still hurts, knowing his parents are so enthusiastic about her writing when they haven’t bothered reading a chapter of anything Zon’s written in, what, two years?
And Zon doesn’t dare to bring up to his mom and dad about how he’s writing lyrics now and even sings made-up melodies sometimes. Both of his parents are musicians and Zon’s heart can’t handle the inevitable disappointment when they tell him his songwriting and singing should remain a “hobby,” too.
“Okay,” Zon finally replies. Somehow he manages to keep his voice from shaking. All he wants is for this conversation to be over. “Yeah, I understand. Love you, too. Goodnight.”
Zon’s finger is still lingering over the screen of his phone when Saifah asks, “You okay?”
Zon jolts. He forgot he isn’t alone. And he has tears in the corners of his eyes. And he’s seriously about to fucking cry in a laundromat in front of someone like Saifah who is probably judging him.
Shit, ever since Saifah appeared, Zon’s done nothing but embarrass himself.
Though it’s not like Zon’s life was anything but an embarrassment before.
A deep breath, then two. Zon wipes the tears away with the sleeve of his t-shirt. He quickly bends down to grab his headphones and notebook out of his bag, then settles down onto the bench without a single glance Saifah's way.
“Yeah, I'm fine," Zon says. He clears his throat. "Thanks though.”
There’s a moment of silence where Zon wonders if Saifah will make fun of him like he’s done the last two times they met. Zon really doesn’t think he can handle it and he just apologized for yelling at Saifah, he really doesn’t want to do it again. But his mother’s words have made him feel cornered and on edge, and he always lashes out when this happens.
Saifah picks up on Zon’s mood and doesn’t press the topic further. With soft eyes and a nod, he leans back against the wall, one long leg crossing over the other. He busies himself with something else on his phone and leaves Zon to his music and notepad.
Except Zon’s notepad taunts him. When he tries to scribble words, nothing comes except more tears blurring his vision. Each stroke of his pen adds to the pressure on Zon’s chest. An unrelenting tightness that makes it difficult to breathe, makes him want to run and hide away forever.
Zon spends the rest of the night with his notebook shut tight in his lap and tries to drown his thoughts in music until the dryer finally signals it’s done.
