I loved LOVED a word, a look, will be enough. I’m obsessed with the way you write jason and tim. No pressure to answer this at all, but I was curious if you have a headcanon about how the missing spleen reveal eventually goes
Jay »
Good afternoon Timothy.
« tim
uh oh
Jay »
I just had a fascinating conversation with Doc thompson
Care to hazard a guess about what?
« tim
pollen season
Jay »
No.
« tim
bird flu
Jay »
Is there a reason you havent told anyone in your life that you dont have a fucking spleen?
« tim
okay first of all
i’m not sure why doc thompson felt the need to tell you my private medical information
pretty sure they have a rule about that
Jay »
It’s not her fault.
I mentioned that you got whammied with that stupid germ bomb from Typhoid Tony or whatever the fuck his name was
« tim
vik vyral
Jay »
And she got all serious and told me I should get you into the clinic asap, and I was like no he’s fine now, it was basically a 24 hour bug, and she was like no, theres no such thing as a 24 hour bug for him, he needs to come get his blood tested yesterday
And then she clearly realized I had no fucking clue what she was talking about and clammed up. Wouldn’t say a thing. Told me to ask you myself.
Jay »
The look she gave me when I said you slept it off and went back to work. Like I should know better. like I was letting you be careless and shit bc thats just how I am or something.
« tim
“letting” me?
Jay »
yeah. Letting you. I know you know what I mean
« tim
i’m not sure i do.
Jay »
When youre with someone you take care of them.
I dont pretend to know much about this shit but I know that.
I’m not talking about handcuffing you to the radiator. Im talking about knowing whats going on with you and knowing that sometimes you let shit slide that I wouldn’t. When it comes to you
You do that for me and the others all the time. Thats how it works.
« tim
doc thompson doesn’t know you’re “with” me
Jay »
If you think everyone doesn’t know exactly what’s going on then your detective skills need work
Jay »
Also, Jesus, Tim.
« tim
ok sorry, i didn’t mean the scare quotes part
but did you pause to consider maybe there’s a reason i haven’t told everyone other than whatever shortsighted masochistic bs you’re assuming
Jay »
I dont need you to tell everyone. I’m not asking you to write a report on it.
Just like. if there’s any other major medical shit can you maybe tell me
Before you fucking die of a sinus infection or whatever bc the asshole who lives with you didn’t know your immune system has the horsepower of a bicycle
« tim
did you know you curse more when you’re fronting like you’re not worried about me
Jay »
I’m actually not fronting! in this moment!
« tim
okay
well. i am sorry
that sounded sarcastic bc of who i am as a person
but it’s not. i mean it.
Jay »
Sorry for yelling at you
« tim
i dont wanna go into it over text but i’ll tell you tonight. okay?
about what happened.
also there’s nothing else. it’s just the spleen thing
ok?
Jay »
Okay.
« tim
well and the mango allergy
well. and i’m double jointed specifically bc i have joint-hypermobility syndrome
which is why im so flexible :)
but also why i dislocate things a lot :(
um and im mildly allergic to carrots, bananas, pineapples, and most legumes, but it’s fine they just make my tongue itch
i think that’s all
Jay »
Tim can you be honest with me for a second
« tim
yeah…
Jay »
Are you inbred
« tim
NSJDN/&2&jdj?!_£_??
Jay »
Like are you that type of rich person
You can tell me. We are not going to procreate so I dont mind either way
« tim
just scared the living shit out of an intern who had never seen me laugh before. i think she thought i was choking
jesus CHRIST
i will see you at home.
Jay »
You
didn’t answer the question….

STARGAZING
Warnings: fluff, a bit of smut, reader has leg & back tattoos, and reader calls donuts overrated LOL
Reader also has a pp 😱
Summary: You finally hang out with Jenna off duty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every weekday morning was the same. You'd wake up, go to the station, talk to some of your fellow officers, maybe even your captain, then stop at the same café. You'd order the same coffee and pastry, and sit down at the same table, with the same company.
Jenna was wonderful company too. Her eyes would light up whenever you walked through the door, uniform on and everything. It was your own little ritual, one that you looked forward to every day. You'd talk about your days, your hopes, and your ambitions.
It was a sense of comfort, one that you could always count on. You could tell that Jenna was always genuinely happy to see you. That smile that you grew to love over the past year would never leave her face when you were near.
You shared a special bond with Jenna that was unlike any other, regardless if you only hung out at the café. It was like home. You'd come in the morning, or afternoon for lunch, maybe even stop by before clocking out.
"Here's your breakfast bagel and coffee, just how you like it." You look away from the window, Jenna grins, placing down your food. "Thank you." You both exchange a look, and you can't help but smile at the girl in front of you.
Jenna sits down across from you, resting her hand on her hands as you take a bite of the bagel, savoring the taste and everything that it represents. "Aren't cops supposed to eat donuts? Not bagels?" You smirk and take a sip of coffee. "Donuts are overrated," you reply, then take another bite of the bagel.
Jenna laughs. "I guess you have a point," she says. "So, how's Chris?" You snort at the question. You had told Jenna about how another officer had to go on a two-week break due to the fact that Chris had broken his butt bone. Jenna laughs at you, her smile widening even more.
"He was in a lot of pain but he's doing better now." Jenna shakes her head, still laughing. "Have you ever seen anyone break their butt bone before?" You ask, still chuckling. Jenna shakes her head. "Nope, can't say I have."
You both laugh, still, in disbelief at the situation Chris had gotten himself into.
Chris had a good sense of humor about it, though, and it was relieving to have a good laugh about it. You both shared a moment of understanding, knowing that accidents happen and it could have been any of you.
You take a sip of your coffee, nearly moaning at the taste. "Your coffee completely beats the Starbucks I had yesterday." Jenna smiles but lets out a dramatic gasp, "You went to Starbucks and not here? I'm honestly hurt!" You laugh and take another sip, "Your coffee's better, I promise. I'll never make that mistake again."
"Good, you know I take good care of you." You smile, feeling the warmth of the coffee and the warmth of her words. "I know you do," you reply. She smiles back and the two of you sit in comfortable silence. After a few minutes, you finish up your bagel, crumbling the trash up.
"What do you do when you're not saving the city?" Jenna asks randomly. You pause for a moment, taken aback by her question. You take a sip of your coffee before responding, "I uh, just walk around...maybe hang out at home, why?"
Jenna shrugs. "Just curious. It seems like you're always in your uniform. It's nice to hear you take some time to relax." You smile, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Yeah...I guess I just like the feeling of doing something meaningful."
You then pause, thinking about how to word your next sentence. "It makes me feel like I'm doing something with my life."
Jenna nods in understanding. "I get it. Everyone needs a purpose to feel fulfilled." You take a deep breath. "I don't feel like I'm drifting anymore." Jenna smiles. "That's great. You've found something that makes you feel alive, and that's all that matters." You smile, subconsciously grabbing Jenna's hand that rests on the table.
"Maybe tomorrow we could hang out and relax together." Jenna nods, squeezing your hand. "I'd like that. Now I can finally see you outside of your uniform." You nod in agreement, the two of you still smiling.
You both laugh, and you feel your heart swell. Your shared laughter is infectious, and you can't help but feel a sense of joy and warmth spread through your chest.
You look into each other's eyes, your smiles still lingering on your faces. You feel an unspoken understanding between the two of you, a connection that you can't explain.
You clear your throat, letting go of the girl's hand and start gathering your stuff. "Well, I gotta go save the city now. I'll um...I'll pick you up tomorrow from work. What time do you get off?"
She smiles and says, "I get off at three. I'll be waiting for you." You nod at her words, sending a small smile. With one last glance, you turn and walk away, leaving her standing there, still smiling.
You were right on time, three o'clock on the dot, waiting for Jenna outside of the café. Jenna emerged from the café, a smile still lighting up her face. You got off your motorcycle, taking off your helmet. You waved to Jenna, who waved back. "No! I wanted to ride in the police cruiser!" Jenna teased you as she brought you into a hug.
You laughed and hugged her back. "Maybe next time," you said as you mounted your motorcycle. You pulled Jenna onto the back of your bike and handed her your helmet. She gave you a tight squeeze, then put the helmet on.
You felt her arms wrap around your waist as you started the engine and drove off the wind buffeted you as you travelled, and you felt Jenna's embrace tighten with each passing mile.
You pulled up to your destination, and Jenna hopped off the back of the bike. "Where are we?" She questioned, looking around at the greeny area.
You smiled at her and said, "This is my secret spot. I wanted to share it with you." Jenna's face lit up with joy as she looked around, taking in the beauty of the place. You held out your hand, and she took it before looking up at you with a smile. "C'mon, I set up a picnic."
You led Jenna down the path, and soon you arrived at the clearing with the picnic set up. Jenna was amazed, and you smiled as you watched her in admiration. "This is insane." Jenna turned to you with a look of awe. "How did you do this?" she asked.
You simply smiled and replied, "It's my pleasure. A return for your wonderful company and coffee this past year."
Jenna smiled and hugged you tightly. You enjoyed the moment, feeling content and grateful for the friendship you had built. When she pulled away you gestured her to sit, joining her shortly after and reaching inside the basket.
You pulled out a container of fruit, sandwiches, and a bottle of sparkling cider. She laughed, delighted by the surprise. "I am... astonished... honestly."
You laugh before raising your glass. "To Jenna's amazing coffee and bagels!" She smiled and raised her glass to yours, clinking them together. "To my coffee and bagels," she said, and you both took a sip.
You both shared a laugh and put your glasses down. Jenna looked at you and said, "I didn't know you had tattoos." You chuckled glancing at your legs, "Yeah, I usually have to cover them for work. I also have one on my back."
Jenna smiled and said, "Really? Can I see?" You nod in response. Jenna quickly gets up, kneeling behind you. She gently moved your shirt and her eyes widened. "That's a really awesome design."
You smile and reply, "Thanks." Her hands begin tracing the tattoo and you can't help but shiver from her touch. You turn your head slightly, meeting Jenna's face as she places her hands on your shoulder, her face only inches away from yours.
"It looks so good on you." You blush and thank her again. She gets up, moving back to her original spot. She smiles. "I'm really glad you decided to get it. It suits you."
You nod in agreement, feeling a warmth inside that you hadn't felt in a long time. "Could you pass me a grape?" Jenna reaches into the fruit container, a grab in her hand. "Catch it."
You open your mouth, trying to fight back a smile. "You think I won't catch it? I was pro at this in high school."
The grape flew in the air, and you caught it, your reflexes still sharp. You grinned in satisfaction, and Jenna clapped her hands in surprise. "That was impressive!" she exclaimed.
"Here you try." Jenna hands you the container before preparing herself to catch the grape. You took a grape from the container and threw it up in the air. Jenna's reflexes were still a bit rusty, but she managed to catch it with her hands.
"Cheater! You gotta catch it with your mouth." You quickly grabbed another grape, throwing it at Jenna, unfortunately, it fell short. Jenna tried her best to catch it, but it was too late. "Damnit!" She laughs, her hands resting on your thighs.
She pouted playfully. "I feel like a loser." You shake your head, keeping your eyes on her as you reach into the container for a strawberry.
"Here's a reward for trying." You hold out the strawberry to hand it to her, but instead, she bites it from your hand, her eyes on you the entire time.
She lets out a small moan at the sweet taste of the berry, dramatically rolling her eyes. "So good." Her own hands reach into the container, picking out a strawberry. "Try one."
You couldn't even protest before she holds the strawberry to your lips, her left hand still resting on your thigh. You take a bite, the juice of the strawberry running down the corner of your mouth.
She gently wipes it away with her thumb, her eyes never leaving yours. You can't help but blush at her closeness. "Mmm..." You hum, nodding your head, approving of the taste. She smiles at your reaction, her hand still lingering on your thigh.
Her eyes leave yours, moving to your thigh. "Did this one hurt?" She asks, her finger tracing over the tattoo on your upper thigh. You take a deep breath, feeling her gentle touch. "A bit," you reply, your voice barely audible. She nods, giving you a reassuring smile.
She pauses for a moment, her eyes locked on yours. "Jenna..." you whisper out, swallowing the lump in your throat. She nods, telling you to go on. "Can I kiss you?" Again, she nods, causing you to smile. You lift your hand to caress her cheek before closing the distance and pressing your lips to hers.
You feel her arms wrap around your neck, her breathing becoming more shallow. She parted her lips slightly, deepening the kiss. You felt like you could stay there forever, lost in the moment. You eventually pull away, both of you breathless. You smile at her, and she smiles back, her cheeks blushing.
You both laugh nervously, and she leans her forehead against yours. You stare into each other's eyes for a few moments, feeling a connection that was unexpected yet undeniable. You stay like that for a while, just enjoying the moment and savoring the feeling.
"Fuck the police?" She mumbles, biting down on her lip. You can't help but chuckle. "Fuck the police."
And fuck the police was she doing. "Shit, Jenna..." You whine out, grabbing her hips. She grins, pushing you back onto the bed. "You know you love it," She says, her lips curving into a smirk.
She moves her hips, and you gasp, lost in the moment. You grip her hips and pull her closer, letting out a moan as she continues her movements. "Fuck me."
"I am, baby." She laughs before letting out a loud moan. "You're so big, fuck." Her hand moves from your core to your thigh, and her movements become faster and more intense, pushing you closer to the edge.
She's clearly enjoying the experience, her movements are becoming more passionate as your pleasure intensifies. You can feel her desire to bring you to the peak of pleasure and you give in to it, letting her take you there.
"I'm cumming!" She yells out, her grip on your thigh tightening. Her back arches as she rides you, her muscles tense as her orgasm takes over her body. You can feel her body shudder against yours as she comes down from her high and collapses against your chest. You wrap your arms around her, before flipping her over on her back.
You start to move inside of her again, your movements slow and gentle. She moans softly, her eyes half open, her breathing heavy. You kiss her gently, your lips lingering at the moment as you both enjoy the sensations of being together. She wraps her arms around you and pulls you closer, her fingers tracing circles on your back, over your tattoo.
She looks up at you, her eyes full of love and desire, and you know she'll remember this moment forever. You kiss her again, this time more passionately and with more urgency. You both know there's no need to rush; the night is still young and you both have all the time in the world.
You begin trailing kissing down her neck as your hips move slowly against hers, her breathing becoming heavier as her hands grip your shoulders. You whisper in her ear softly, "You feel so good, Jen."
She moans in response, her fingers running through your hair as you press your lips against her collarbone. You feel her body quiver beneath you as your hands travel down her curves. Finally, you meet her gaze, and she smiles.
"Faster, Y/N..." she whines, her bottom lip trapped between her teeth. You comply, increasing your movements, and soon she's clinging onto you, her breath coming out in short gasps. "Yes, fuck." You can feel her body quivering beneath you, her grip on your shoulders tightening with each thrust. She screams out your name, her head thrown back in pleasure as you hit the right spot.
"Right there, shit. I'm about to cum again." You continue to move inside her, your body responding to her every whim. You lean down, your lips seeking hers as you both reach the peak of pleasure together.
She cries out your name, her voice low and husky as she comes down again, her eyes closed and a satisfied smile playing on her lips. You collapse onto her, both of you panting and sweaty as you bask in the afterglow.
You stay like that for a few moments before you reluctantly pull away, looking into her eyes with love and admiration. You give her a gentle kiss on the forehead, a silent promise of more to come before you both drift off into a peaceful sleep.
It was now morning time and you leaned against Jenna's kitchen counter, sipping on a mug of coffee she made for you as she took in your features.
She smiled lovingly at you before speaking up. "I could get used to this. You just walk around my place in your underwear, showing off your body and tattoos."
You chuckled, feeling a warmth inside your chest that made you feel like you were home. You grabbed her hand and pulled her close, pressing your lips against hers. "Me too." You placed another kiss on her lips before pulling away.
"Hungry?" She smiled and nodded. You stood up and began walking to the fridge, but Jenna stopped you. "No, baby. I'm hungry for you." Your eyebrows raise in surprise, "Oh."

Pairing : Miguel O' Hara X Reader
Genre : fluff, tiniest twinge of angst
Summary : Miguel's not very happy when he finds out you've walked home by yourself last night(morning)?
Wordcount: 1.3k
[ A/N: Here's pt.2 : D. I've decided I'm making this a little connected one shots book.]
Miguel O'Hara Masterlist
Tumblr media
" You didn't text me when you got home last night." Miguel suddenly spoke, breaking the comfortable silence that was between the two of you.
Yesterday, you had been taking care of him as he was sick, pampering him a little extra because he deserves it. The two of you had eventually fallen asleep, with you waking up around 3 in the morning and heading back home.
You look up from where you're seated on his desk chair, having been busy playing Good Pizza, Great Pizza on your phone. His back is turned to you, eyes focused on the different screens showcasing the Spiderverse and whatever else.
" Oh, uh, yeah. I must've forgotten. I was so tired, my head went straight for my pillow once I got home." You shrug.
He hums in understanding, although he's a little curious. Who dropped you off last night? He's made it very clear before that he doesn't want you to walk home by yourself at the ungodly hours, no matter how short the walk to your house is. You're the last person he has in his universe (and outside of it, for that matter.) The only person who knows him better than anyone. He'd be damned if something were to happen to you. The thought of it already sets him on edge.
" Who brought you home?"
" Oh, uh, I did-"
" What?" Now he turns to look at you, a displeased look in his eyes.
" What? Everyone was asleep." You shrug.
You turn to look at your phone again, wanting to avoid the look in his eyes. He whisks the device from your grip as you do so, setting it aside on his desk. It's still whitin your reach. When you look up at him again, he's got his arms crossed, a strict look his face.
" I hope you know that I would've thrown whatever's in my reach if you were any of the other spiders. " He points out.
You roll your eyes.
" What, you give them bedtimes too? I can take care of myself. You've taught me enough self defense by now. I know how to handle myself." You huff.
He's aware how you dislike with how careful he's often being.
" I know you can, but you also know why I'm so careful with you. Just wake me up next time you're leaving early in the morning."
" While you're sick? No. Besides, you're barely resting as it is, I'm not waking you the rare times you're asleep." You point out.
You get up from his desk chair, stepping closer to him as you unfold his arms, taking one of his hands in yours.
" Stop worrying about me so much. I'm fine. Take a little more care of yourself maybe though. For me?" You ask him.
He sighs, eyes showcasing emotions he usually hides.
" Just stay over if you don't want to wake me up. We fall asleep together anyway, We can wake up together too."
He's not looking you in the eyes as he speaks, eyes on your joined hands, admiring the size difference. You're not looking at his face either, understanding how he feels. He's glad you're not looking at him, his cheeks having gotten the faintest of pink. It scares him how much he likes the idea of waking up with you.
" I guess we can do that. If it makes you feel better." You hum.
A flash of surprise passes through his eyes, but it's not caught by you. It's not everyday your crush says yes.
However, your sweet moment is broken up when the sound of the door is heard, and so Miguel steps away from you. You give him a small smile before picking up your phone again.
" Oh, Hey Y/N. Since when are you here?" Jessica asks as she steps in the room.
" Uhh, a while? No idea. Speaking of time, I gotta go. My shift starts soon." You say, suddenly realizing the time.
Miguel wordlessly lets the platform go down, but you don't have the patience to deal with that.
" Don't jum-" He sighs as you do so anyway, landing with a loud slam on your knees.
This isn't the first time you've done this, and most probably not the last.
" I don't have the patience for that wacky thing. Anyway, see you around. Maybe I'll be back later, maybe not. Bye!" You tell him with a smile, turning to the exit.
You greet Jessica on your way out, giving her a quick hug before finally leaving.
Jessica looks after your form as you leave, before turning to Miguel with a knowing smile. Miguel ignores the look in her face, instead getting straight down to business.
" How'd it go?" He asks her.
" Well, the anomaly is caught. He's stuck with the other anomalies downstairs. " She tells him.
He nods, turning around to face the screen again.
" Good." 
She knows it's his way if dismissing her.
" Soo, you and Y/N?" She asks suddenly.
Miguel doesn't even glance at her as he responds.
" What about it?" 
" Your feelings for her are pretty obvious. You should ask her out." She suggests.
He glances at her with a sigh.
" Not obvious enough for her to notice." He murmurs in response.
She still heard it either way.
" That's only because she's in love with you too. You should ask her out. She's a lovely woman." 
" No. I can't treat her the way she deserves. She deserves better than me." 
" Maybe. But I doubt she wants anyone else. Just think about it a little more. Y/N is sweet, if you don't make up your mind soon, there's a good chance someone else will ask her eventually. " She points out.
" Yeah, well, we'll see about that." 
He's aware he's close with you. Too close. No one would appreciate having a girlfriend who's got a best friend who's constantly at her heel.
The sound of the door opening suddenly sounds again, and you suddenly come running back in.
" Hey, sorry, forgot my jacket." You puff out.
Miguel turns to you right away. He glances at his desk chair, where your jacket is indeed still hanging on it's back. He picks it up wordlessly to throw it at you. 
You catch it.
" Thanks!" You call again, before leaving.
A teeny tiny smile graces his lips at your behavior. God, he's smitten for you.
" How do the youngsters refer to you again? I think it was whipped. You are 'whipped' Miguel." Jessica smiles.
Miguel barely huffs at her, instead turning around and pushing a button for the platform to go up again.
" Sure. Do you have something better to do or should I see if there's something to do for you here in the building?" He suggests as he goes up.
" No, I'm good. Say hi to Y/N when she comes back in a few hours." She laughs as she heads out.
Miguel shakes his head, putting it in his hands for a moment before finishing back on the task at hand.
' My feelings aren't obvious.'

(Sorry to anyone who’s tags are messing up, I’ll try tagging you in the replies when posted)
.
The Universe had a strange way of making Steve Harrington hate Life.
Like waking up in a hospital after simply trying to pick up Louie.
Ugh.
Because it was never “simply” anything anymore, right? Now it was monsters and other dimensions and asshole blonds with pretty eyes who liked to beat him half to death.
Oh. And a bunch of mouthy middle schoolers.
“Dude, you up yet?”
“Give him a minute, Mike! He was literally half-dead not even yesterday!”
“Well if he keeps groaning like a zombie I’m gonna assume he’s become one!”
Steve found his voice, although crackly and rough from disuse, just to say ��Shut the fuck up.”
“He’s alive!” One of them shouted instead.
Steve peeled his eyes open and immediately groaned at the harsh lights. Blinking against the stark white hospital walls, he turned his head to look at the kids piled in the chairs of the room.
Max and Lucas were squished together in one chair, Mike and Will taking the second. Baby Byers must’ve already been let out. Dustin was sat cross-legged at the foot of Steve’s hospital bed, that El girl right next to him. Steve felt like he was in the middle of an interrogation with how she stared him down.
Steve sat up, ignoring every bodily protest telling him to lay the fuck back down. Dustin grinned wide at Steve, and Steve gave him a very weak smile in return.
“So are you actually alive, now? Cause you still look half-dead,” Max teased, smirking at him. Steve rolled his eyes and flipped her off, snorting when she gave it right back.
“Yay he’s alive wooo!” Mike snarked sarcastically.
Steve huffed, but Mike reminded him of Nancy which then reminded him of how he got dragged into this shit when then reminded him of—
“Fucking shit,” he swore under his breath.
“Are you ok? Do we need to called the nurse?” Will asked tentatively. All the kids suddenly looked on edge at Steve’s perceived pain.
He shook his head quickly and then immediately winced. It felt like his brain was jumping around his skull. “No, no I’m fine. Just— Wheeler where’s your sister?”
Mike stared at him funny. “Dude there is no way you’re thinking of my sister after climbing out of your deathbed.”
“What? Of fucking course I am! She was watching Louie and I never got chance to pick him up or ask her about him—“
“Whoah hey— who’s Louie?” Lucas spoke up.
“He’s—“
“Oh!” Dustin perked up. “Is he the baby my mom’s watching? Little chubby thing that looks like a cute little raisin? He’s got your hair, dude!”
Steve visibly relaxed back into his pillows. “Oh my God. Ok. Ok.” It was fine. Louie was fine. Everything was fine—
“Oh the kid Nancy’s been watching?” Mike perked up. “He’s real cute.”
“Is he your little brother?” Will asked.
Steve was steadying his breathing still, so he shook his head and smiled weakly. “No. No he’s, uh— my son.”
El tilted her head. “You are his Papa?”
Steve looked at her, really took her in; her curly hair, her worn and a little too big button up, her curious head tilt, her big eyes. He smiled at her. “Yeah, sure.”
She smiled back at him, small and shy.
“You have a kid?” Lucas asked.
“Aren’t you like— 15?” Dustin accused.
“He’s like 18.” Max corrected. “He and Billy are in the same grade.”
“17, actually.” Steve informed. “But I’ll be 18 in July.”
“Who’s the mom?” Mike asked.
“Nobody you need to know,” Steve shot back. Mike huffed.
��Why was he at Mike’s?” Will asked. The kid was quiet, much like his older brother. Baby Byers only spoke up after talking to Mike, as if needing reassurance. A massive pang of guilt ran though Steve, remembering all the shit he’d said to Jonathan last year.
Steve cleared his throat. “Nancy was watching him for me for a bit cause I had work.”
Dustin perked up, grinning mischievously. “Where do you work?”
“Yeah, no. You’re not coming by to harass me.”
“Booooo!” Max shouted.
“Party pooper!” Lucas joined, sticking his tongue out. El grinned and stuck her tongue out, too.
It was then that the nurse walked in with Hopper and Mrs. Byers.
Thank God. Because it was seriously starting to feel like an interrogation.
.
Hopper stole his car.
He stole Steve’s car and refused to let him drive it.
Steve was discharged later the same day he woke up. They gave him some medicine, some papers, and sent him on his way.
But he couldn’t leave because Hopper stole his car.
And then forced Steve to sit in the passenger seat of his stolen car.
Steve had never sat in the passenger seat of his own car.
“Stop huffing and puffing.” Hopper grumbled.
“I’m not huffing and puffing.” Steve (didn’t) huffed.
“Then quit sulking.”
“It’s my own car,I’ll sulk if I want to.”
“You get beat half to death and suddenly gain an attitude.”
Steve smirked out the window. “You and I both know I’ve always had an attitude.”
Hopper made a gruff sound that could’ve been a laugh, probably thinking of every time he’d had to break up one of Steve’s parties or drive him home cause he’d been wandering around drunk off his ass.
Steve perked up when they skipped the turn to go the trailer park.
“Uh, Hop? Where we goin?”
“Relax, brat. Your kid’s still with the Hendersons.”
Oh yeah. Maybe he was more out of it then he thought. Steve relaxed back into the seat a bit more than before.
“Still don’t see why I couldn’t just drive myself,” he muttered, just to be a shit.
Hopper groaned.
.
When Hop pulled into the Henderson’s driveway Steve wasted no time in getting out. Hopper yelled from somewhere behind him about waiting for the car to stop next time. Steve payed him no mind and ran up the porch stairs to hastily knock on the door.
Mrs. Henderson opened up soon enough, a smile on her face and a hand on her hip.
“Steve, dear, hi!”
Steve smiled shakily down at the short women, pleased to see her but desperate to see Louie.
“Hi, Mrs. H. Is Louie here?”
“Of course, sweetie! He’s with Dusty and his friends, come say hi!” She left back into the house without another word. Steve followed after with Hopper.
Just as Mrs. Henderson claimed, Little Louie was in the living room with The Party. There was a light yellow knitted blanket spread on the floor where they all sat together, except Max and Will, who sat on the couch.
Louie was sat in Mike’s lap, Lucas right in front of them letting Louie play with his fingers. Dustin sat right next to Mike, pressed into his side and cooing down at Louie with a wide grin.
The moment Louie caught sight of his dad he let go of Lucas’ fingers and reached for Steve, bringing the attention of the Brat Brigade onto him.
Steve bent to grab Louie from Mike, his focus solely on his son being back in his arms. Louie babbled happily, his chubby baby hands making grabs for Steve’s hair and tugging lightly. Steve ignored the ache in his head in favor of smiling wide at the babbling baby.
“Hi sweetie, how you doin’ baby?”
Louie’s response was a gummy smile and one of those weird baby gurgle-trills. Steve’s grin only widened.
“Yeah I bet you’re having fun with the brats, huh?”
“Hey!” Dustin scoffed on the floor, pulling Steve’s attention back to the room.
Mike and Lucas were silently pouting, seemingly at the loss of the baby. Dustin looked downright offended at being referred to as a brat. Will and Max were kind of staring at Steve, but he ignored them for the most part outside of shooting them a small smile.
“Oh I’m sorry, did I interrupt your time with Louie?” Steve teased, chuckling at Lucas’ bottom lip sticking out. Mike made more of an effort to hide his pout but wasn’t very effective.
“Yeah, jerk. We were having a conversation.” Mike snapped, though there was no real venom in his tone.
Steve snorted, letting Louie pat at his face and ignoring the sting of the bruises. “I sincerely apologize for taking back my son from you heathens.”
“We’re not heathens!” Dustin protested.
“Yeah right! You kids would be the worst bad influences on my baby boy!”
Louie added his two-cents in the response of a squeal and particularly hard hit to the face, unfortunately right on a still healing cut on Steve’s cheekbone. Steve hissed under his breath.
“Alright—“ Mike suddenly appeared in front of Steve and took Louie. “—he’s ours again.”
Steve chuckled. He melted a little inside seeing Mike hold Louie so tenderly. He was so gentle with the baby, such a stark contrast to his usually loud and brash demeanor.
Dustin and Lucas were both up immediately to get the baby’s attention. Steve smiled as much as he could with the now slightly reopened cut, finally relaxing with seeing Louie.
“So when we’re you going to tell us you were a dad?” Max spoke up from the couch.
Steve glanced at her and placed a hand on his hip. “Who’s ‘we’? I met you like two days ago.”
Max rolled her eyes and brought her feet up to sit crisscross on the couch. “Well Billy hasn’t said anything about Louie so I assume you’re on the down low about being a dad.”
Not really, Steve thought. He just hasn’t brought Louie to school with him since Hargrove started. Mason and Gran had no problems helping out so that he could continue senior year without interruption.
But Steve didn’t tell the kids that, simply nodding and smiling.
.
Mrs. Henderson was reluctant to let Steve leave.
“I mean it, Steve. You have my number, you call me if you need anything at all.” She made him swear.
Dustin was even more reluctant, going as far as to cling to Steve’s sweater.
“You have to give us your address! Come on, man! We wanna see Little Louie!”
So Steve gave in and wrote down the address to the trailer, if only to get Dustin to stop whining. Mike grumbled about how they could’ve just asked Nancy.
Again, Hopper drove. Which absolutely irritated Steve but he wasn’t about to sit and argue with the Chief of police with his baby in the back seat.
But Hopper agreed that Steve could be back to driving himself in the next couple of days— which Steve immediately protested.
How was he meant to get to and from work if he couldn’t drive?
Apparently, Hopper took it upon himself to settle that.
“What do you mean I’m not going to work?”
Hopper grumbled and wiped a hand over his face. Steve might’ve thought he looked pissed, had he not known that’s just Hop’s face.
“I mean you’re mot going to work. I already called your boss, gave them a rundown— the government one with the wild dogs— and she said it’s fine.”
Steve threw his arms out. Was it dramatic? Yes. But Steve deserved to be dramatic after the time he’s had. “I need the money! I fucking live off of those tips, Hop!”
“I know that and I already talked about that, too. You’re still getting paid, don’t worry.” Steve tried to protest again but Hopper gave him this look that made his mouth snap shut. Steve shot his gaze to the floor and crossed his arms.
.
It was a weird 3 days of no work. Steve spent it at home in the trailer with baby Louie and— occasionally— Gran and the twins.
Eventually, it was time for him to go back.
Steve knocked on the Wheeler’s front door bright and early on Saturday, surprised when Mike opened the door instead of Nancy.
“Hey, Wheeler. Where your sister?”
“In the kitchen. Is that Louie?” Mike grabbed the car seat from Steve without waiting for an answer. Steve shrugged mentally and followed Mike into the living room with the diaper bag.
Color him surprised when he sees the rest of the kids sans El crowded around Little Louie, cooing and grinning while the baby thrives in the attention.
Steve smiled.
Yeah, alright. It was admittedly a very sweet sight.
Maybe everyone knowing about Louie isn’t too bad.
.
AGH I DID IT!! OMG ITS OUT

"Did you have a nightmare?"
"No."
"You had one. Don't lie to me."
"...Sorry."
"Hm?"
"Yes, I had a nightmare. I'm sorry for lying."
"It's alright, just don't make it a habit."
"Okay. Sorry."
"Now tell me about it."
"Uh, about what?"
"Your dream, silly. Tell me what happened in it."
"Oh. Um. I... I can't remember."
"You dreamt about me."
"..."
"And you're lying again. I will not warn you a third time."
"H-How did you know?"
"It seemed like quite a violent one. I merely assumed."
"Um, yeah. I-It was."
"If I have to use this much prompting to pull an answer out of you we might as well skip the interrogation and go straight to pulling teeth."
"No, no, no need, I, I can answer on my own!"
"I think the pliers are just over in that box. I can get them for you."
"No, please don't, I-I will —"
"Shut up. What happened in your nightmare."
"...You hurt me. A lot. Y-You were, um, you had a bad day at work or something, but it was my fault somehow. I did something to your bag I think, I don't know what. It doesn't make much sense when I explain it like this."
"...And?"
"Uh, that's it. You just, um, uh... that was it."
"You know, omitting part of the truth does count as lying."
"But, but I'm not, that's all that happened!"
"What did I do to you?"
"J-, You know... What you usually do?"
"What exactly?"
"..."
"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? ... You're afraid I'm going to get ideas?"
"...Yes."
"Hm. Was it scary?"
"Y-Yeah..."
"Was it scarier than, say... yesterday? At the stove?"
"M-, Maybe..."
"Maybe?"
"Yes."
"You got your hand burned pretty badly... You should be more careful around the kitchen."
"...Yeah. I know."
"You know, it's always amusing to me when my prisoners have nightmares. I'm sure you know as well as anyone what it is like, and so I'm curious. What is it like falling asleep, relieved to finally escape from me for just a moment, and then experience the worst torture your mind can put you through during that? And then to wake up hanging from chains again? I would love to know."
"I don't like when you're like this."
"Like whatttt? I'm only politely inquiring for a simple answer!"
"When you're, you're — when you're so casual about this! This is not normal, this is awful! You're keeping me captive and h-hurting me for no reason."
"Yes, I am. It's fun, isn't it?"
"N-"
"It's fun. Isn't it?"
"Y-Yes, yes, it's fun, it's fun! Please, I'm sorry, it's fun!"
"That's what I thought."
"I'm sorry..."
"You know how to apologise better than that."
"...It's hell. That's what it's like. I-It's like I'm in Hell."
"Good. I like that answer.
So, it was scary?"
"Yeah."
"Was I scarier than I am now?"
"No..."
"I was I'm sure. You haven't seen me truly angry yet. Was it scarier to be hurt in your nightmare than it is in real life?"
"I don't know."
"Come on, I'm sure it's different. You woke up crying. I could see your hand tremble as you lifted it."
"I cry and tremble anyway as long as you have anything to say about it."
"Oh, you may be right. I do like seeing you like that. Especially when you wake up in the dark all disoriented and confused. Very cute."
"I'm sure it is."
"Was what I did scarier?"
"No."
"If that's the case, why are you avoiding telling me what it was?"
"Because I don't want to give you ideas."
"Because your brain came up with something truly sadistic, did it? Tell me already, I'm dying of anticipation!"
"I won't. You can't make me."
"Is that a challenge?"
"You don't scare me."
"Well, that's certainly a lie."
"Just leave me alone already!"
"The more you push me away the more I will tie you to my bed with barbed wire. And gag and blindfold you. With barbed wire."
"...I hate you."
"I know. Tell me then. I won't ask again."
"...you strapped me to a, a metal table. Blindfolded me. Said something into my ear, I really can't remember what. Then you burnt me. Over and over. Across my whole body. I couldn't move at all, I couldn't even think it hurt so much. Then you... y-you took a knife to me. Cut along my, my burns. I couldn't breathe. The pain didn't even s-stop when you stopped and started staring at me. You left me at some point, and it only hurt more. I hated it so much, I-I thought I was dying."
"...Very interesting."
"P-Please don't do that to me."
"Who said I was?"
"You're thinking about it. It's why you wanted to know in the first place, right?"
"Well, now that I do, I can ease your worries and say that it would be a lot of work cleaning up all those wounds."
"Thank god."
"I am curious how long I would need to hurt you to get the same reaction as that dream, however. We will have to see later."

sissys best friend crushing and falling for johnny 🙏🙏
Johnny Slaughter x GN!Reader
Tumblr media
"So, what, he ain't got a girlfriend?" You murmured, glancing back at the subject of conversation, your hands idly fidgeting with the stems of wildflowers in your palms. He was skinning the prey he'd gotten from his traps, maybe a good six yards away, his torso bare and practically glimmering in the sun from the sweat he'd racked up. How were you not supposed to stare?
"Oh, sugar, he don't date. He hunts! It's different," the girl next to you spoke, giggling at your question as if there were anything amusing about it. You frowned, and she tapped your shoulder, regaining your attention with a turn of your head. She held up a ring of woven stems, a neat flower crown. You looked down at your own attempt, but you weren't as good at it as she was.
"Well, yeah, I know he kills most of the people he stumbles upon, but... Surely he's interested in the idea of a relationship, right?" You asked, lowering your head so the brunette could place the crown on top of it.
"He's doin' just fine on his own. I think he'd go romancin' 'imself if he could. He don't need anyone else, or so he likes to say," she replied, taking the flower crown from your hands and gingerly repairing some of the loosely woven bits. You took the opportunity to look back at Johnny, catching him as he ran his arm across his forehead, wiping the sweat off of it.
Ugh, he was practically perfect. Sculpted by the gods themselves. You'd never seen anyone half as attractive as him. Sometimes you doubted he was a real person.
"Why, you gettin' ideas?" She teased, nudging you again as she caught you staring at her brother. You looked back at her, giving a small shrug.
"No, nothing like that. Just curious," you lied, avoiding any eye contact with her as you mumbled your response. "Figured everyone gets lonely sometimes. Thought he was the same."
"Awh, peach, he ain't like you and I. He's, uh..." She paused, pursing her lips as she thought of a response. "He's a real wildfire, y'know? Got the whole lone wolf thing goin' on. He don't wanna look silly by needin' someone else. Don't wanna look weak or nuthin' of the sort."
"Huh..." You hummed, looking over your shoulder one last time before Johnny tossed the skinned rabbits into a pail and left your line of sight, likely heading inside. With that, you looked back at your best friend, seeing she was already gathering more flowers, insistent on teaching you how to get the most use out of the weed-like growths.
-- -- --
The person who opened the door was not who you were expecting. Tall, muscular, masculine... Definitely not the girl you'd come here for. She knew you were coming, did she forget? This was her idea, after all.
Johnny looked you up and down, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. "What?"
"Is sissy here?"
"She's out back."
"Oh, okay. Can I-"
"No."
You blinked, not sure why he'd deny you so adamantly, and so quickly, too. With a glance behind him, you swore you saw movement, but it was gone before you could be sure. You looked back at him, confused. "Why not?"
"She's busy."
"Okay... can you go n' get her for me? Or let her know that I'm here? She's supposed to be teaching me somethin'," you requested, biting your lip awkwardly.
"Weren't you here yesterday?" He grimaced.
"Yes..."
"Why?"
"Why what?" You scoffed.
"Why are you here all the time? Ain't you got other stuff to do?" He pushed, stepping towards you and forcing you to take a step back so he didn't collide with you. He closed the door behind him, and you frowned, not understanding what his game was.
"Uhm, I'm here cause she's my best friend. And... cause she asks to see me. I already did all my stuff," you answered, furrowing your brows at him. "What's your problem?"
"My problem? My problem's that we got prey hangin' round our house but we ain't allowed to eat 'em. The hell makes you so special?" He huffed, and you took another step back, a little intimidated by his poorly shielded threats.
"Because..." You trailed off, searching for an answer. "Cause she said so, I guess. I dunno. Don't you have enough prey as it is? Got all the time in the world to hunt, mister lone wolf."
"The hell's that s'posed to mean? You gettin' snappy with me?" He growled, placing a hand on the wooden post beside you and leaning down, closer to your face. You scowled, doing your best not to show your fear.
"Since you don't have any hobbies aside from killing people."
"Hobbies?"
"Dates. Partners. I dunno, literally anything aside from hunting," you explained, giving a small shrug of your shoulders.
"What are you gettin' at?"
"I don't know, what are you getting at?"
"I don't see any reason why I shouldn't kill you right 'ere. Seem like a fine tasty meal. Just temptin' me, comin'round here all the time. Ain't you scared?"
Yeah. "Of you?" You scoffed, rolling your eyes. "Oh, please. Sissy would never let me-"
Your words came to an abrupt stop when you felt a knife against your throat, and Johnny grinned down at you, reveling in your fear. "You sure 'bout that? I don't see her 'round here. Ain't no-one to save you."
Despite your racing heart, you gulped, steadying your breaths. "You're not gonna kill me. You're just trying to scare me."
He seemed to tense at that, and for a second you actually failed to believe your words, hit by the realization that he probably didn't care. He could kill you. Hell, he might as well. And yet, he removed the blade, smirking as he huffed out a chuckle.
"That's not funny."
"Awh, I know it ain't, doll. Not fer you, anyhow. Name's Johnny. Sissy's said a lot 'bout ya," he introduced, though you already knew his name. He held out a hand, and you looked down at it, awkwardly reaching forward to take it, and giving it a small shake.
"Uh-huh... Can I see her now?"
"Mm.. I s'pose. You can go 'round the side yard. She's out in the sunflowers," he answered, using a thumb to point in the direction of the path he was referencing.
"Right.. Thanks, Johnny."
Huh. Bit of a creep, eh? A handsome one, but... She wasn't lyin' when she said he wasn't normal.

I Like You, You Idiot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Word Count: 2.6k
Summary: you and your best friend Dina go out on patrol where she saves you from dying and you feel you’re not enough. Instead of revealing your insecurities to her, you keep quiet. Later that night she takes you to a party and make a drunken confession which has her freaking out the morning after.
Cw: drinking, fighting, shooting, guns, vomiting, very subtle sexual themes
A/n: so sorry guys this was supposed to be out yesterday but I got super busy! Anyways hope you all enjoy!
You were woken up by the sound of someone knocking- no pounding on your door. With a tired groan you stumbled out of bed, paying no attention to how you were dressed in your pajamas. Skimpy shorts and a white tank top that your nipples peaked through because it was fucking winter and terribly cold. Suddenly you were extremely aware of your clothed as you opened the door to see Dina. What was she doing here?
“Dina? W-what do you want?” You ask, crossing your arms to try and cover up a bit.
“Uh- nice pjs” She laughed, “didn’t Maria tell you? We’ve got patrol this morning. Get ready I’ll wait.” She smirked, her eyes traveling the length of your body.
Her gaze lingered in certain spots. Your thighs, your boobs. That kinda stuff.
“Shut the hell up. Come in, it’s cold.” You open the door wider and let her inside.
Dina accepted your offer almost immediately because she was freezing out there. She sat on your couch, already knowing where to go since she’d been at your place countless times before. You’re busy getting dressed upstairs while she waits for you. You come back all nice and ready, getting your backpack on.
Dina lead the way to the stables, greeting the stable boy Jack. He smiled at her, his eyes roaming over her body. It pained you to watch them interact as he had such an obvious crush on her, but she seemed to ignore it. Which you didn’t understand. Anyways, Jack informed her that there was only one horse available for you and Dina. Some kind of horse flu was going around and the others were busy.
She thanked him and got said horse from its stable. You let her get on first, then climbed on the back. At first you’d been hesitant, but after reminding yourself that as her best friend you’d literally cuddled, you wrapped your arms around her waist and held on tight. You interlocked your hands where they met at her stomach, and she lead you guys to the path that would take you to your patrol building. After a little bit you decided to break the silence.
“Why don’t you go out with Jack?” You asked her, genuinely curious.
“Um what?” She laughed, you felt her body shake with her laughter, “what do you even mean?” She asked in return.
“He obviously likes you Dina. I mean who wouldn’t..” You mumbled the last part, hoping she didn’t hear it.
“Oh, well I don’t care. I like somebody else.” She responded confidently.
You couldn’t help it as you felt a bit disappointed. Sure it was good she didn’t fancy Jack, but she liked someone. Was it bad you hoped it was you she liked? You’d been best friends for years now and in all that time you managed to develop a crush on her. Then again, she was so charming and beautiful. Of course you liked her more than a friend! But she’d never know, not for the time being at least.
The two of you arrived at your patrol building, making sure your horse was settled in a comfortable area before going to fill out the patrol form. Dina signed both your names and nothing else since you hadn’t come in contact with anyone, or anything, yet. There was a couch in the area, so you decided to sit. Dina didn’t take long to join you, sitting close to you.
As you sat beside her you began to wonder about who she liked. Your mind went to a few different people, some she’d mentioned and others you just suspected. Dina was quiet too. Why, you weren’t sure. But you didn’t really care, better for you to think. After a few minutes Dina stood and said she had to use the bathroom. You told her to be careful and she told you not to worry. You sat and continued to think in peace, but not for long.
You felt your nerves shoot up as you heard some clattering, and not in the direction Dina had gone. Immediately you stood and took out your gun, glancing around the room for any signs of someone or worse, something. Just as you were about to turn back around, somebody shoved you hard enough to knock your gun from your hands. You yelped as you were now pinned to the ground by a rather large man, who had a baseball bat in his hands.
You struggled underneath him, hoping to get your pocket knife and stab him literally anywhere. But it wad no use, he had been sitting across your torso and trapping your arms all at the same time. So, after realizing you could not save yourself you started to scream and yell for Dina. Just as you were sure this deranged man was going to swing his bat right across your face, he was shot right in the head and fell backwards off of you. You could barely breathe as you scooted away and stood quickly. You gasped as you ran into Dina while backing away, she held you in her arms as your breathing was fast and irregular.
“Are you ok? Y/n?” She asked, her tone laced with concern.
“Yeah, yeah. Thank you.” You had trouble answering since your breathing was so erratic, but you managed.
You nuzzled your face into her neck as your head rested on her shoulder. Her arms wrapped around your back as she kept watch for anyone else who might show up. After you caught your breath the two of you explored to make sure nobody else was coming. Then you sealed off the building so no one else could get in. You were sat on the couch with your head in your hands. It wasn’t the first time Dina had to save your ass, and it probably wouldn’t be the last. Every time something like this happened, you felt terrible.
Like you weren’t good enough. You’d never been an amazing fighter like she was, you were good sure. But that’s it, just good. Meanwhile Dina was fucking phenomenal. Dina pulled away from you with a small smile and motioned for you to go sit on the couch. You did so and spent the duration of your patrol feeling guilty. She hadn’t picked up on your mood change, which was expected since you’d come to be good at hiding it. It was time to leave and you let Dina fill out the patrol notes, after that was done with the two of you got onto the horse and made your way back to Jackson.
Once you returned, Dina got the horse into the stables and had another conversation with Jack. You stood and watched as they conversed, she seemed to be more harsh towards him this time. Not as polite as usual. You wondered if it had something to do with what you said earlier, and it probably did. After she finished speaking to him, she turned around to walk you home. But you were already gone. Your house was really close by so it didn’t take you long to get there. Once you had, you started to get unready from patrol then headed upstairs. You’d just been setting out your things to shower when there was a knock at your door.
With a sigh, you walked downstairs and answered it. And who else would it be, it was Dina of course. Coming by to check on you.
“Hi, I just wanted to see how you’re doing.” She smiled brightly at you.
“Uh, fine. Why?” You chuckled, holding onto the door as you crossed your other arm over your stomach.
“You seemed pretty shaken up and I don’t know- I’m your best friend I can tell when somethings up.” She tilted her head with a shrug.
“Look I’m fine, it’s-“ for a moment you thought about opening up about your insecurities, but you didn’t, “it’s nothing, ok?” you sighed, hoping she won’t continue to pry.
“Well, I don’t believe you, but I’ll leave it alone for now. You wanna go out, do something fun?” Dina asks with a smirk.
“I was going to shower, but maybe after?” You squinted and she nodded.
After that you let her inside and told her to just make herself at home. While she did so you headed back upstairs and into your bathroom. Your clothes and towel were set out on the counter, all nice and ready. You turned on the water and waited while it warmed up, then you got in and did what you usually do. Your shower was shorter than usual since you were trying to rush because Dina wanted to go out. You used a hair dryer so you wouldn’t look like a mess then went into your room to put sneakers on.
Dina smiled as you returned downstairs, all ready to go. She said there was some party going on at one of her friend’s places. It sounded like fun, so you walked beside her as she led the way there. The both of you arrived and as you walked in you watched Dina greet people she knew with hugs and smiles. You always admired how she was so affectionate with her friends like that. She offered to get you drinks and you accepted, making your way to the living room.
Dina returned shortly with your drinks, standing next to you then taking your hand to go and converse with some people she knew. One of them being Ellie, who you knew as well. You weren’t as close to her as Dina was, but you two got along. As you watched the way Dina talked to Ellie, you thought maybe Ellie was who Dina liked. It wasn’t a crazy thought by any means, they had known each other for a long time and there was no doubt that they were close. Maybe you were her best friend, but then what was Ellie?
The party continued and everyone was enjoying themselves, as well as getting rather drunk. You were just tipsy, as you weren’t in the mood for a ragging hangover tomorrow morning. You stood by yourself while you watched as Ellie and Dina shared a joint. There was no denying they looked like more than friends. You sighed as you set your drink down somewhere, then went to the bathroom. You didn’t really have to go so you just washed your hands then stayed there for a few minutes.
Once you exited the restroom, Dina was outside waiting for you. You gave her the best fake smile you could, but she saw right through you. Just like she said earlier, she was your best friend, she knew when something was up.
“What’s on your mind?” She asked, crossing her arms and giving you a smug smile.
“Do you… like Ellie?” you asked, looking at her as you raised your eyebrows in question.
“Ellie?” She burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world, “oh my god, no! I don’t like Ellie..” She sighed.
“Oh, ok.” You chuckled.
“Y/n you are one of the most oblivious people I have ever met. Come here, I have a secret” She giggled, waiting until you leaned closer to hear and her lips were right at the shell of your ear “I like you, you idiot.”
She pulled away with a smile and you were blushing deep as you giggled. You were pretty surprised at her confession, but she was clearly drunk. That didn’t matter though, because she liked you. And she said she liked you. Dina rested her hands on your shoulders as she swayed to the sound of the music. You smiled in admiration as you rested your hands on her waist, biting your lip slightly as you watched her.
Dina seemed to be unable to help herself as she leans her body into yours. You feel her chest press against your own, causing your breath to hitch as your grip on her waist tightened. Slowly, she began to kiss at your neck. You let out a sigh as your head fell back with pleasure, Dina laughed at the effect she had on you. But, you came to your senses. She was drunk, you weren’t as drunk, but you were a couple drinks in.
“Take me home..” She whispers against your neck, her voice was needy and her warm lips were on your neck again in seconds.
“Dina.. no. You’re drunk, come on. I’ll take you home but just to make sure you get there safe.” You sighed as you pushed her away from you, keeping a safe distance.
Dina pouts grumpily and sighs. She mutters an angry fine then leans on you as you walk her home. It’s not exactly easy to deal with a drunk Dina as you’ve come to learn, but you managed. You helped her up to bed, turning away while she changed shamelessly because you were already uncomfortable enough. Finally she’s in bed and of course asking you to join her. You decline, sleeping on the floor instead to avoid anything you might regret in the morning.
The next morning you wake up to the sound of Dina vomiting in her bathroom. With a sigh at your headache, you rush to sit by her side and hold her hair back. You breathe through your mouth as you hold her hair in a makeshift ponytail and rub her back soothingly. She groans, flushing the toilet after she’d done and resting her head on the toilet seat. You grimace at this, lifting her head with your hand.
“Come on Dina, that’s gross.” You look at her as she blinks slowly, eventually just keeping her eyes closed.
“I know, I don’t care. What happened last night?” She asks, rubbing at her eyes.
“Well you drank like a lot, uhh you smoked a joint with Ellie and then I took you home.” You left out the most exciting part of the night, hoping she wouldn’t remember.
“Oh shit, yeah! You thought I liked her, man that was-“ she stopped and her eyes opened wide as her mouth fell agape and she stared at you, “oh my god..” she spoke quietly, her hand coming to cover her mouth.
Obviously, she remembered the secret she shared with you last night. Immediately she stood and walked away from you and into her room, where she started to pace. You followed and watched her as you sat on the edge of her bed.
“Dina, it’s ok, seriously!” You tried to convince her, but she wouldn’t buy it.
“No, no it’s fucking not! I-I ruined everything. We’ve- we’ve just been friends for so long and I care about you so much. My god how am I so stupid, I can’t believe I told you. I’m sorry. I’m just sorry. I don’t wanna lose you and I totally understand if you don’t feel the s-“ her words were cut off as you stood and pressed your lips to hers.
It wasn’t a great kiss, she tasted faintly of her liquor from the night before and a bit sour. Dina sighed into the kiss, her hands coming to rest on the back of your neck. You smiled, your hands coming to rest on her lower back. Your forehead now rested against hers as you let out a small laugh, she was just smiling so big and moved her hands to hold your face.
“That’s so gross, I was just sick.” She chuckles.
“I don’t care. Dina, of course I like you too.” You smiled.
You looked forward to what your relationship would come to next.

Of Coffee and Crushes
Rating: G
Fandom: 9-1-1
Pairing(s): Evan Buckley/Tommy Kinard, Pre-relationship Evan Buckley/Eddie Diaz
Summary: Buck asks Tommy out for coffee, but he orders Eddie's usual. 7x05 extended scene.
Notes: Inspired by this random thought I had after rewatching the episode a dozen times yesterday.
911 spoilers, canon compliant to 7x05, Pre-relationship buddie, fluff, extended scene
Ao3 Link
They sit quietly for long moments after Tommy’s agreed to join Buck for the wedding, Buck's hand a pleasant weight on Tommy’s own, and their matching grins never wavering. It feels good, Tommy thinks, to just exist in the same space. He feels a little infatuated with the way Buck smiles so sweetly and lets himself be vulnerable—all the walls he'd built up before crumbling down to let in the bright joy Tommy’s realizing the kid radiates so much of the time.
It's a good feeling.
But nothing lasts forever, Tommy thinks, so he's not entirely surprised when Buck’s smile falters a bit and he pulls his hand back to busy himself sipping at his coffee. He has something to say. Tommy can see it in the way he can't seem to sit still, hands in constant movement and leg clearly bouncing beneath the table. Tommy waits him out.
“So, uh, I—” Buck takes a stuttering breath finally, trying to calm himself as his expression shifts into something that looks unsure again “—I told Eddie.”
That takes Tommy by surprise. He's not sure he'd expected the kid to open up that quickly after the debacle in the restaurant. “Did you?” he prompts, curious.
“Yeah, uh. Eddie's a really good guy,” Buck supplies, like Tommy doesn't know.
Tommy huffs a little laugh at that and nods along as he says, “yeah. Yeah, he is.”
He means it to be reassuring, but Buck bristles a bit at that—just a brief tensing of his shoulders that he shakes off as quickly as it comes. But Tommy catches it. Snaps his mouth closed to let Buck continue and makes a mental note that Eddie might still be a sensitive topic where Tommy’s concerned.
Once Buck gathers himself, he continues, again settled back into the soft, open demeanor he'd started with, and Tommy watches him curiously as he smiles and says, “yeah, he's the best. And I got in my head over it, because I can't lose him, you know? Eddie and Christopher are just. they—they're really important to me, you know?”
Tommy hums in agreement and nods. Doesn't dare interrupt again as Buck spills half of his heart into the space between them. 
“I just. Eddie's always been there for me. Even, uh, even when he had every reason to turn his back on me,” Buck confides. And Tommy’s not entirely sure what's opened the floodgates, but he's simultaneously grateful and increasingly suspicious that Buck might be subconsciously laying claim to Eddie and everything they have after Tommy’s misguided interruption. “I should have known that it would be okay, and I should have just been honest with him then and there, and I am so sorry that I made everything weird the other night.”
Ah, Tommy thinks, a little amused, another apology, then. The kid is sweet, even if he could use a little more confidence.
“Listen, Evan,” Tommy tries, all warmth to try to put him at ease, “I get it that you weren't ready to tell him. And, yeah, it was a lot to take in with exactly how you tried to lie around it, but you don't need to justify yourself to me or defend Eddie.”
Buck looks a little sheepish, then, picking at the lid of his coffee, the plastic making little popping noises every time he flicks it with a nervous finger. “Yeah?”
“Frankly,” Tommy starts, a hint of amusement in his tone, “I don't think there are many of us who would have come out to anyone in a crowded restaurant while on a first date. Seems like a lot.” 
Buck laughs genuinely at that, like it's finally hitting him that, yeah, maybe the run-in at the restaurant wouldn't have been the place to do it, and Tommy can't help the way warmth blooms in his chest at just how sweet and loving and a little bit silly the man before him is.
For a few moments, they're quiet, then. Buck ducking his head in embarrassment, even while that sweet smile stays firmly in place, and Tommy sipping at the terrible coffee Buck had bought him. There's no tension in the moment—the nervous energy Buck had brought to their first date out of fear of being found out now replaced with a different kind of nervous energy. One that feels an awful lot like a kid with a crush, and Tommy can't even judge him for it because he thinks he's feeling it, too.
“So,” Tommy finally finds his voice, changes the subject to something that feels a little lighter and safer because he likes the way his stomach is filled with butterflies and the way Buck's smile kind of takes his breath away, and they don't need any more heavy apologies. So he asks, all curiosity, “is this your usual order?” as he eyes the scrawl on the cardboard sleeve of his coffee cup. It looks decidedly different from what's on Buck's.
“Uh—no,” Buck admits a little flustered at the change in topic, “n-no, it's uh, it's Eddie's, actually.”
“hmm,” Tommy hums, pressing his lips together and letting an eyebrow quirk just a little as he examines the coffee sleeve a little closer, “not sure I would have pegged Eddie as a cream and sugar kind of guy.”
Buck stays quiet but nods with a fond smile, picking at the cardboard seam on his own cup. Tommy can't quite see the markings on Buck's own cup clearly enough to read them, but he's curious now.
“Why Eddie's?” Tommy asks, fond smile still in place because if nothing else the kid is adorable—just a bundle of excitement and nerves—and Tommy knows he should probably give him a break, but he kind of likes riling him up.
“Uh,” Buck blinks, tilts his head and scrunches his brow like he’s not sure. Then, after a moment, he shrugs, “I don't know. Felt weird to get you my regular order, you know? And you, uh, you and Eddie have a lot in common, right?”
“So you figured we'd have the same coffee order?” Tommy laughs, genuinely amused, and it makes Buck smile wide. The kid's got an excellent smile.
“O-kay, laugh it up,” Buck retorts, grin widening and brightening up those pretty blue eyes even further. Tommy thinks he might be a little smitten. “It was the first one that came to mind.”
“Mmm, okay,” Tommy presses his lips together around the toothy smile he suddenly realizes he's still wearing. Can't give himself away altogether on a second date. Knows, still, that Buck can see the glimmer of fond amusement in his eyes. “So, you do a lot of the coffee runs for the 118, then?”
“Wh—” Buck looks confused, shakes his head and blinks until suddenly it looks like the implication sinks in and he stutters his way through a nervous response. It's sweet. “Uh, no. No, uh, actually, I have a-a terrible memory for coffee orders. So, uh, I'm usually last pick.”
“But you know Eddie's.” Tommy can feel the way the corner of his mouth tips up in an amused smirk. Tries hard to play it off.
Buck blushes and ducks his head again like he’s been caught. Rubs at the back of his neck and tries to gather himself, even as the pink of cheeks spreads to his ears. Looks like he's trying to find a response that won't give him away.
“Yeah. Yeah, I do know Eddie's,” he finally settles on, lifting his eyes to meet Tommy’s. It feels a bit like a challenge. “But I'd like to know yours, too.”
Tommy nods. There's still a fond smirk tilting his lips, and he knows—he knows —he probably shouldn't be getting attached here. That there's something more to the best friendship Buck keeps claiming for himself and Eddie like he’s trying to convince himself of something. And Tommy’s not sure if Buck knows yet, if he's realized the challenge he's just issued.
And Tommy knows he won't win. Knows that whatever it is Buck and Eddie have is the lasting kind.
But hell, it never hurt to have a little fun.

Oh, Deer | Part Three
A/N: I'M SORRY FOR THE DELAY I was in a fever writing the first two chapters on my days off, then my doc flipped out and rearranged itself mid edit which was superrrrrr awesome. I believe I fixed it though! I appreciate the support I've been getting so I hope you enjoy this part as well <3 I have to say I'm very excited for what I'm planning for part 4 as well so that one won't take as long I think!
Part Summary: Lilly finds herself curious of what the Radio Demon actually does, but acting on that will come at a cost. Back at work she gets some personal time with the self appointed head of the Vs only to be treated to a home visit from the King of Hell that night.
Part One Part Two | Part Four
______________________________________________________________
Velvette seemed to have cooled off today, allowing me to return to my regularly scheduled assignments, which sure were back breaking, but at least they weren’t soul crushing. On my walk to the hotel from work I found myself thinking about Alastor again, which I’m sure his ego would love to hear. I wanted to figure out what he was really thinking, and he was always off doing his own tasks day and night at such odd times. Sure he’s an overlord, but he doesn’t actually have any territory at the moment besides the hotel I guess. Does entertainment count as a territory? I guess so, but I wouldn’t say he is controlling that yet either. 
So I hatched a little plan of my own. Whenever Alastor left the hotel this evening I would follow him on whatever misadventure he went on, discreetly of course. I’d need to be careful, but I’m struggling to bury my curiosity. At this point I needed answers and Alastor wasn’t exactly offering any up. 
I wanted up the grand steps of the hotel and opened the door, looking across the entry way for any sign of him. He wasn’t around, but Angel, Charlie, and Vaggie were lounging in that parlor so I joined them. Charlie’s eye lit up when she saw me and she rushed over to me, grabbing my shoulders. 
“Oh my gosh there you are! Okay so today and yesterday we focused on learning about boundaries, it was a lesson I had needed as well.” She admitted, giving Angel an apologetic look. “Soooo to catch you up, please, share a boundary with us that is important we that we all respect and we will! Then we can share one of ours and tell each other how that all makes us feel, how does that sound?” She didn’t wait for an answer. “Amazing, I know!” She squealed and sat back down on the couch next to Vaggie and I took an empty chair. 
“Okay, uh, a boundary of mine is…I don’t like having my stuff touched, or moved around and besides Niffty’s cleaning which I do appreciate, I really don’t want anyone in my room uninvited, no matter what.” I say and Charlie gives a little round of applause and a proud smile. 
“That is very good to know Lilly! Thank you for sharing! As for me, my boundary is that if you want to talk you just have to tell me!” She says proudly. 
“Babe, that’s not really a boundary, like mine is no one but you can touch my hair. It’s a line that I do not want crossed.”With that Vaggie eyed me and Angel, as if we had been plotting to touch her hair and we both held up our hands to say we are innocent! They wen’t back and forth on exactly what qualifies as a boundary, but out of the Connor of my eye I saw Alastor still through the lobby. I pretended to be preoccupied on my phone, but really I was just watching him. He want over to Husk and told him something and then headed out the front door, cheery as ever. I didn’t want to loose him, but I couldn’t walk out immediately either I counted to five and figured that should be enough time for him to get down the stairs outside. 
“I have to go!” I exclaimed and stood up. I hadn’t really thought of a good excuse to tell them. “I uh, have a headache, I need to step outside for a second” That seemed like enough for Charlie and Vaggie, but Angel gave me a look that said he knows that’s bullshit. I smiled back at the demon, who wouldn’t pry right now, but I know when I get back he will start the interrogation. 
I make my way out of the room and out a side door of the hotel to hopefully be less noticeable. I spot Alastor down the drive leading up to the hotel and start to quietly move closer. It will be easier when we get into the city, if that’s where he’s headed, but here the space is more open. I leapfrog from behind bushes and trees and very convenient garbage cans until we make it to the city blocks. I don’t have to worry as much now, I can blend in with the masses of demons moving around me and all the noise they make. Alastor is still walking up ahead by a good few yards, grin plastered on. I can’t tell where exactly we must be going this time of day. I’ve never actually seen him with a drink in his hand despite employing Husk so it probably isn’t a bar let alone a club, no respectable tailor is open this late, maybe he was meeting someone, but who? We were nearing the Vs’ district, somewhere I didn’t think Alastor had much interest in visiting. Maybe though, he needed to repair something in his radio tower? The best tech is in this district. I saw him begin to turn his head my way and slipped around the corner of a side street, I tried to listen for his footsteps restarting, but it was difficult to pick up such a tiny sound here. I waited a few extra moments and poked my head out ever so slightly. He was further up the street now, excellent, he didn’t notice me. 
I slipped back out of my hiding place and kept my head down catching back up with him a little. Damn were his legs long. I tried to pay attention to what store fronts were up ahead to try and guess if he was going to any of them, but nothing seemed right. Finally he stopped, so I did too, in front of a building and after the tiniest pause a man stepped out, joining Alastor. He was tall and imposing, even over Alastor, but the radio demon didn’t seem worried in the slightest. A massive black cloak enveloped the tall demon and even from here I could see the green glow of his eyes, Zestial. What business did he have with Zestial? They are both overlords, sure, but not even in the same ring of hell and I doubt he is just grabbing an evening tea with someone as powerful as Zestial. I should abandon this plan now. It was going to be one thing if Alastor caught me, but a being like Zestial could snap my neck without even looking in my direction and he wouldn’t be waiting around for me to explain myself. I couldn’t though, this just scratched at that curiosity of mine more. How does Zestial fit into his plans? Is he going to help the hotel? I highly doubt it. Maybe Alastor was just making the rounds though, saying hello to old friends and foes now that he has returned. I couldn’t back down now I just knew that I was getting closer to something. 
They began walking and demons quite literally jumped out of Zestial's way, that was fear that Alastor couldn’t quite inspire himself right now. Maybe that’s why he is meeting with the ancient overlord, he needs to be associated with power like that if he is going to start taking back over territory. The two of them stopped and I pretended to read a flyer that was near me to look inconspicuous, trying to listen to their voices. They spoke hushed, but from where I was standing it sounded friendly all the same. I heard Alastor wish him a merry goodbye and turned on my heels. I didn’t have the chance to see where Alastor had walked Zestial to, but if this was his mission it was now complete and he would start heading my way. I kept my head down as I started walking away, back the way we came trying to walk quickly, but not enough to draw attention to myself. Now I could pick up the sound of Alastor’s steps with his cane behind me, 1-2-click 1-2-click, he was humming to himself, but those fucking long legs were gaining on me. Then I felt someone grab my arm from the side, yanking me hard around the very corner I had hid from Alastor just a few minutes ago. 
I looked up to face my assailant, but I didn’t need to know who it would be, Alastor. He shook his head at me, another  shadow arm wrapped around me and pinned me to the wall. My arms were pinned to my sides with a painful grip and I was raised just high enough for my feet to be off the ground. I thought I knew what I would say to him if he caught me, but now looking at his face I couldn’t think of anything that would make him forgive me. 
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Very rude to be spying my dear, very rude indeed. Did you really think I didn’t notice? That I couldn’t hear your little steps behind me, feel your wide eyes boring into my back?” He asked getting close to my face. I could feel the heat and anger rolling off of him as he spoke. All I could do was look into his eyes, I wanted to say something, anything, make it my turn to apologize, but I just kept staring like a deer in headlights. I couldn’t move if I wanted to, I just hoped if he had changed his mind, if Angel was wrong about Charlie’s stamp of ‘Do-Not-Kill’ Alastor would be merciful enough to make it quick, but all of hell knew that wasn’t his style. “Nothing to say for yourself now, hm? Not so cool when you’re the one in the hot seat.” He growled, his voice growing heavier with static, like every word was strained to get out. 
“I-“ I struggled to get enough stale air in my lungs to form a sentence. “I’m sorry.” It came out strangled and launched me into a coughing fit. I wanted to say more, to explain, but even the concept sounded stupid and naive. Maybe my dream was a prophecy, maybe in the afterlife I can see the future, and that future is the radio demon tearing me into shreds. I couldn’t tell if it was just my vision getting dark from lack of oxygen or if shadows were really about to swallow me whole, but as useless as the words were with every strangled breath I could manage I just kept repeating the same line. “Alastor, I’m sorry.”
I could still feel that weight on me, the unbridled energy still hung in the air, but I could breathe again, and the disgusting hell air never tasted so good. The shadow arms had dropped me, but Alastor still stood over me burning his eyes into mine. That fear that ran down my spine when I first met him returned, but this time he had earned it. “You ought to be more than sorry, I’ve killed less petulant demons for far less heinous actions.” He cracked, he leaned down to my level, his antlers caging me in place. He dragged one of his sharp talon-like nails down my cheek, just enough for it to sting. I recoiled at the touch. 
“I just,” I knew my answer was stupid, because I’m stupid. “My whole job every single day for all of eternity is to figure out what the hell people want, and to find a way to give it to them. As far as I can tell, all you want is power, I thought maybe there was more to you than that, but I guess I’m wrong. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have intruded.” I heard my voice crack, I hated looking weak even when I absolutely was. “I’m sorry Alastor.” I paused and tried to focus on my breathing. I didn’t want to look back into his eyes, I have no other defense. “I was selfish.” He didn’t respond, but he stood back up. Maybe he just wanted a better view as he killed me, or one last good look at the dumbest soul in hell. 
“You want to know what want, you wish to know what I think? Right now I’m thinking that you seem to cause me a lot of problems and headaches my dear! I think you need to stay. Out. Of. My. Way.” He warned all I could think to do was nod that I understood as he shrank back to his normal state. The energy that had been pounding against me subsided and the ringing in my ears finally dulled. “Good.” He added with a sinister smile. He grabbed my arm and his shadows enveloped us and before I could ask what was happening we were back in the hotel, in the hall before my room, stepping out of the shadows. Or in my case something closer to falling out of the shadows. “I think it best, my dear, if you have any further thoughts to keep them to yourself, that is what I want.” And gives me a nudge towards my bedroom door. I hang my head and simply walk away into my room. 
.
I watched her walk into her room without a glance back my way. Satisfied with that I make my way to my suite, planning how I might hunt my dinner to relieve the stress from tonight. I needed her to not get so involved, if Zestial had noticed her trailing us tonight he would have killed her and then that would be such a mess to explain to Charlie. Back in the street though, her eyes were so impossibly wide looking into mine, she looked utterly and deliciously terrified. It was the only appropriate response to the situation, the way her eyes darted between mine until she couldn’t bear their weight anymore, how I could feel the heat and fear rolling off of her when I backed her against the wall, it was a decadent mixture that I was happy to lap up. It’s not like she hasn’t seen what I’m capable of before, but it was the first time it was directed at her to this extent. I could smell it on her still, even as she had closed her bedroom door, the fear wafting off of her. Good, as it should. When I had her back there she was just another prey for me to hunt, but something in that concoction made me hesitate. Truth is I wanted to like her, I could appreciate feeling chained to a deal you regret, wanting out, freedom, control, your own power and looking for it in anyway possible, but she was making it very difficult despite the small amount of time she actually spent here. Still a part of me enjoyed the way her eyes watched, I do love putting on a performance for such a captive audience. What a pity, she was becoming a distraction, I suppose, every time I heard her giggling with that spider demon, or saw her sitting with Husk of all souls, sometimes just the scent of her after she had just passed by was enough to steal my attention for a moment, I couldn’t stop myself from watching and listening. At other times I could feel her eyes, which held so many questions, on me any time our paths crossed and it made me keenly interested in what she was thinking. I knew she had things she wanted to know and she was smart enough to know that I’m not one to go around spilling secrets, even if she had asked plainly like the night before. As fun as it was keeping her on her toes I did not have as much control over the situation today as I would have liked to because of her. I need to stay on task, disturbances like this were more risk than they were worth so whatever she was thinking she would have to keep to herself. 
.
“Dollface I just heard the end of that conversation and I need details, like fucking yesterday!” Angel said as I let him in, I hushed him until the door was closed and eyed every shadow in my room suspiciously. I hopped onto my bed and motioned for him to join me, trying to decide where to start and if there was a version where I don’t look quite so miserable. 
“I mayyyyy have followed Alastor into the city out of curiosity, since he’s always off to do something, like seriously who is that busy? Anyway, when I did I saw he walking with ZESTIAL and I really should have backed off there, but I didn’t and I should have, but then Zestial left and I tried to get out of there without Alastor knowing, but he totally knew and he kinda attacked me and it was kinda absolutely the stuff of nightmares and I literally think I will be having nightmares for the next month, but basically he said I should never bother him again.” I shpeiled and gave Angel a nervous smile. He looked at me was a mix of ‘what the fuck’ and ‘are you fucking dumb’ and ran a hand through his hair. 
“Listen I figured you were off to get up to some shit earlier, but I didn’t think it was going to be quite that fucking bad!” He gave a little laugh. I hugged my knees to my chest, maybe Alastor would cool off in a while, maybe in a few weeks. He isn’t exactly anyone’s best friend, but I still didn’t want him as an enemy. Angel tapped his chin like he was thinking of what to say next, “Maybe you should focus on rest tonight, I don’t think there’s much to do about it now.” Angel decided and I agreed. He fluffed my pillows and had a big goofy smile on as he motioned dramatically for me to lay down. We shared ‘goodnight’s and he left for his own bed, turning off the lights on his way out. In the dark it felt like the weight I felt when in Alastor’s grip returned, the heaviness on my chest, ringing in my ears. I know it’s just anxiety, but it still messed with my head. I got up in the darkness and slowly found my desk,  turning the lamp on to provide a little escape from the darkness. 
Luckily, no nightmares bothered me tonight it just felt like I fell asleep, and then all the sudden I was opening my eyes and trying to find where my phone was to turn off the damn alarm. I looked for it in the covers and shut off the annoying blaring. Slowly I rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I remembered all of the events of yesterday. Awesome. I couldn’t stay in bed long though. I found something suitable enough to wear to work and made my way downstairs. I had just enough time to enjoy a cup of coffee before heading out, which is exactly what I did. I sat myself in the first floor parlor with my steaming hot mug of caffeine, in the comfiest chair in the room. It is not often that the Hotel is quite so still and quiet, but sometimes as I am getting up for work when no one else has stirred yet it was admittedly very nice. 
1-2-click. 1-2-click. 1-2-click.
Maybe this is the nightmare. I pulled my knees up to my chest with my mug on top of them, stealing a glance out of the corner of my eye as he walked past. He didn’t have his trademark smile on, but he didn’t look displeased. It was hard to say though, when he wasn’t being actively provoked. I listened as his steps faded away, off to somewhere else. I sighed and swirled my drink, I shouldn’t let his cold shoulder bother me the way it does, but I can’t help it, I still can’t get him off my mind and alas this is my reality.
All day while I delegate as directed by Velvette, I find my mind slipping away, my body going into autopilot thinking about last night. Terrifying of course, but I also couldn’t get the look in his eyes to go away, like he needed something from me, but there wasn’t that bloodlust in his eyes from the night before. If he could just talk to me plainly this wouldn’t even be a scenario. Or maybe I had just thought about it too much and was distorting my memory. Even when Velvette was talking to me I was only half lucid, just enough to not fuck up. This is why my mind gets me into trouble though, this tunnel vision got me where I am with Alastor I need to snap out of it. 
“Are you even listening to be bitch?” Velvette sneered, one hand on her hip. An aid next to her held a large stack of papers, all annotated with sticky notes and purple pen. Not really. 
“Yes Ma’am.”
“Good, now that the marketing team is done with all this disgusting shit bring this to the fucking cunt in his suite, because I know he isn’t doing his job right now and he’s been dodging me all fucking day!” She ordered and the aid handed the large stack of papers to me. I looked down at the top one to see exactly what it was, scripts? On closer inspection they were definitely for Valentino, Vox would never let most of this on normal television. 
“Yes Ma’am.” I repeated and she sauntered away from me. I headed to the elevator since I knew it would be the easiest way to get this increasingly heavy stack all the way upstairs. I pressed the button that would take me up to Valentino’s suit with a single non-loadbearing pinky finger and took a deep breath. I put on a small pleasant smile and braced myself. Always a joy, right? When the elevator dinged I thought the suite might be empty since I couldn’t see or hear anyone right away, but then I realized I could hear two faint voices talking a room over. Thank god they were only talking. I walked a little further into the space trying to decide if I should try to give them to Valentino directly or if I could just leave them in a table for him to discover later. If I did the latter he would never look at them though, and even if I do hand them directly to him the chances are still slim.  As the sound of my heels echoed on the stone floor while I thought I failed to notice that the voices had stopped. 
“Who the fuck is it? I’m not expecting any whores right now.” Valentino’s voice rang out, followed shortly by the man himself. He looked annoyed, but that wasn’t unusual, with a cigarette in hand, taking a long drag after the question. 
“Mr. Valentino, uh, Sir. Velvette asked me to bring up these scripts to you. Where would you like them?” I asked, looking around the pile in my arms. The tall demon rolled his eyes, clearly he was hoping for a better surprise. He walked over to picked up the top script and flipped through the pages, bored by the task and then fixed his eyes on me, blowing a ring of red smoke into my face and smiling. 
“The real question is where do I want you?” I felt light headed for a moment, I even thought I might drop the stack, but I kept my balance. He circled, taking his time, watching me like a hawk does its prey, but I kept my eyes forward. “Velvette sure does like using you as her little errand girl,” he took another drag of the cigarette, looking down at me. “Maybe she wouldn’t mind if I used you in another way.” Another puff of smoke was blown my way. My senses felt dull, it felt like there was no more background noise, I only knew I was even still holding the scripts because I could see them, and it felt like a fight to keep my eyes and thoughts in focus. There was something to this smoke, clearly, at this point I just need to set these down. Then my job is done and I can be on my way. 
“Val, baby, what whore are you fucking that’s taking so long?”  The second voice I had heard when I first walked in asked smoothly, joining us in the main room of the suite. It felt like I was on a processing delay as I shifted my eyes over to identify the voice, Vox. “Ah, Vel’s pet, how nice of you to drop by! And with the scripts I’ve been telling her we needed back for two days,” he let a twinge of irritation creep into his voice and his eye slightly twitched, “Splendid! Thank you so much for bringing those up!” 
That sounded like my cue, but Valentino stopped and placed his hands on my shoulders behind me, locking me in place. “You know my Angel Dust was just saying how well aquatinted you two had become over at the princessa’s hotel.” Valentino phrased it like he was talking to me, but really I could tell it was for Vox who quite literally lit up at the mention of the hotel.  
“Why don’t you take a seat? Set down these lousy papers here,” Vox motioned to the coffee table and I did just that and then sat down on an ornate couch next to it, my body seemed to be one step ahead of my brain. “Tell me,” Vox looked down at me and when I didn’t immediately meet his gaze, he lifted my head to do so. His eyes were wide and entrancing in the moment, I felt far away again, it was hypnotizing to look at. “What do you know about my old friend Al?” His voice was laced with feedback, I was faintly aware of Valentino’s hands running over my silhouette while he sat next to me with a grin. For some reason I felt compelled to answer the media giant in front of me, like I couldn’t not tell him whatever he asked of me. 
“He.. he’s haunting. His temper has been short. I honestly don’t know much else about him, but I saw him with Zestial yesterday in the city. I don’t know what they were talking about, but they both looked content at the end.” I couldn’t stop the words from spilling out. Vox stepped back, breaking my trance when he looked away and I felt everything come back into focus. My whole body tensed once I processed my situation making Valentino let out a low laugh. I knew Velvette knew this was too long to be gone and right now I would take her screaming at me over this a million times over. “Mr. Vox, sir, is there anything else you need from me? I’m positive I’m expected back soon by Ms. Velvette.” I managed to sound far more calm than I felt, clenching my hands in my lap. 
“Oh I need-“
“Yes, that is okay, go scurry back to work,”  Vox cut Valentino’s coming harassment off. “Thank you so much for your time sweetheart and hey,” He looked me in the eyes again and that wave of numb washed back over me. “Let’s keep our little chat between just us alright?” And I could feel my head bob up and down in a nod. Before I knew it I was standing back inside the elevator heading back to work when everything came back into focus. My only solace was that I really didn’t know anything too important to reveal anyway, I mean with the amount of surveillance of the territory I would be surprised if that was actually new information at all. Still, I hated myself for it. Even if Alastor and I aren’t in good terms I’m not one to betray confidentiality and if I had known anything more I would have regretted that moment for the rest of my miserable afterlife. 
The rest of my workday passed without fuss or fanfare so it didn’t feel like quite so long until I was set back towards the hotel, I was dragging my feet the entire way. I wanted to go upstairs and curl up and just let the time tick past me, but that would disappoint Charlie so much and while redemption was on the back burner for me it wasn’t out of the picture and I really  wanted to live up to Charlie’s expectations. 
Walking into the lobby Charlie flags me down to join a group activity, apparently acting out some scenarios she has written out so we can pick the virtuous option. Sir. Pentious and Angel go first and while Angel is dragging his feet Sir. Pentious gets really into it. Even with some of the most corny writing I’ve ever heard he puts on a beautiful performance. 
1-2-click. 1-2-click. 1-2-click.
I can’t stop myself from tracking Alastor with my eyes as he comes into to talk to Charlie and dances around her. Their conversation is light and joking but watching his eyes now he is not happy. I force myself to busy my mind with something else, it’s none of my business how he may be feeling, I slip out my phone and shoot Cherri a text letting her know I miss her but I am in good hands. While Charlie is distracted Vaggie pipes up.
“Alrighty, Husk and Lilly it’s your turn to act some out. Angel and Sir. Pentious, excellent work please take a seat.” 
“I’ll be the bad guy.” Husk volunteered, though he did not sound excited by it. Angel handed his script to Husk and stole his seat. 
“I’m sure you have some useful experience as a bad, bad boy, Husk.” Angel teased, fluttering his fingers at the winged demon who only huffed back as he stood in the center of the room. Sir. Pentious passed his script to me with a bright smile and I gave a gentle smile back as I took it, thanking him. 
We acted out a short cheesy scene where ‘Husk’ encouraged ‘me’ to skip class to go shoplifting at the mall. ‘I’ refused, exclaiming the importance of academics and that shoplifting was actually bad. ‘I’ then professed my intent to serve my community as best I can and to never do drugs. The room erupted in more applause and I smiled at my scene partner. 
“Amazing performance Husk you really stole the show from me!” I laughed, earning a smile for the normally grumpy demon. 
“I had one line.” He pointed out flatly as we sat on the floor in front of the couch that Angel and Sir. Pentious we’re on. While looking at Husk from here it took all of my willpower to not shift my eyes up to the demon who was still chittering away with Charlie a foot behind him. 
“And yet!” I leaned into the theatrics and fainted, falling across Husk dramatically putting the back of my hand to my forehead like I once saw in a moving picture. “You captured my heart with it!” I played it up as I looked up at Husk and we burst out laughing. 
“Yeah kid I can really tell.” He quips at me. I steal a glance at Alastor as I sit back up and while he still sounds to be engrossed in his conversation his eyes are trained on me. For just half a second we hold each other's gaze, blink and you miss it, but then his eyes returned to Charlie and he bid her goodbye for the time being. I let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding in as Alastor’s footsteps disappeared.
“Okay guys I’m going to get some stuff ready for my Dad coming over tonight, Lily you haven’t gotten to meet him, obviously, but he will love you I’m certain!” Vaggie gave Charlie a soft smile and Charlie squealed with excitement. Lucifer is coming here? I mean I know Charlie is his daughter and everything, but still, meeting the King of Hell was a big deal! 
“Hopefully Mr. Hothead can keep his fucking cool today..” Angel said motioning to the direction Alastor had walked away to. Husk let out a deep laugh from his chest and Charlie let out a nervous giggle, neither of them seemed to think that would happen.
“Yeah, good luck with that!” Husk added between laughs. Interesting, what is Alastor’s beef with Lucifer? If I were him I would want to butter up the most powerful being in all of hell not actively antagonize him. As much as he doesn’t want people to know it, clearly his emotions steer him sometimes. I was suddenly growing self conscious at the reality of meeting Lucifer himself. No one else seemed terribly worried about it, maybe the anxiety wears off after the first time. I won’t know until I meet him a second time. I sat up a little straighter, is my outfit okay for the occasion? No one else was rushing off to change so I guess I don’t need to worry about dress code. Thoughts raced through my mind until Angel pinched my arm. 
“Aye, babe, don’t worry. He’s a big goofball.” Angel reassured me, earning a couple of small snickers at ‘big goofball’ from the rest of the group. Still, when I heard a knock at the front door a few minutes later I jumped to my feet. Luckily Charlie had managed to convince Alastor to pretty up the place a bit more than normal before Lucifer’s arrival. Vaggie ushered all all into the lobby, save Alastor, to greet the King as Charlie opened the door. 
“There’s my little girl!” The Angel burst through the door and bear hugged his daughter, who looked to have at least a foot on him height wise. She laughed and hugged him back. 
“Hey dad!” She sang as they broke apart. Both of them were smiling ear to ear. That’s cool, totally not jealous, totally cool. “Dad you remember everyone! Angel, Husk, Sir. Pentious, Niffty, and new we have a new guest!” She motioned my way and Lucifer turned to look at me, I held my breath, hands clasped in front of me. 
“Well Hello! Charlie didn’t mention having a new guest, I would have worn my better tie!” He chuckled and I smiled back, but was caught off guard when he picked up my hand and left a gentle kiss on my knuckles, looking up at me from his half lidded eyes. “Your name was?” He asked not letting go of my hand. I almost forgot to respond as I tried not to blush, he was an absolute gentleman, I told him maybe a little bit more softly than was appropriate. “Pleased to meet you Lilly.” He said flirtatiously and then gave a slightly nervous chuckle, gently releasing my hand. “I’m Lucifer, I guess you already know that because I’m Charlie’s dad!” So that’s where her nervous tick comes from. 
“My, my is that how you greet a lady?” Alastor appeared next to us making Lucifer flinch. His eye twitched as he looked at the demon, nearly twice his height, grinning down at him. 
“Right, because you would know!” Lucifer retorted sarcasm lacing his words. He looked like he was struggling to keep his cool whereas Alastor was straight up having fun. 
Alastor looked at me with a devilish look in his eyes, taking my other hand in his. “I’m honored by your company this evening my dear.” He gave a gentle bow as he brought my knuckles to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on them. He ran his thumb over my hand, oddly gentle for him. His other hand found my waist and he placed another slow kiss on my hand. “You look lovely.” 
The feeling of his hand on my torso was electric, practically burning through my clothes. I know he is just showing off for Lucifer, wanting to look like the better version of, but still I felt completely exposed in this position. Even my ears felt hot at this point as I heard Alastor give a low chuckle and release me. 
“A little forward for my taste, you wouldn’t want to overwhelm the beautiful lady like that.” Lucifer said sounding annoyed at the display. He leaned oh his cane out in front of him and gave Alastor a dry smile. 
“I’ve never had any problems with the approach.” Alastor also sounded tense, but his smile was as wide as ever while he mimicked the angel’s stance. 
“I doubt you’ve tried it enough to really find out.” Lucifer shot back.
“I assure you I’ve never had someone walk out after.” Alastor said with a sarcastic laugh, jabbing at the disappearance of Lilith. Lucifer bared his teeth at the demon, daring him to go on. 
“Maybe we should take a minute to have some tea!” I tried to nervously interject, but I might have well been offering tea to a brick wall.
“Oh, my Dear! You play coy, but we were awfully close just the other night,” he teased. I could feel my face again grow hot at his insinuation and I swear on my death that I saw husk and Angel sharing a popcorn bag as they slowly inched away from the corner of my eye. “Oh I only play!” He added, but this whole time he still hadn’t looked at me. 
“Alastor.” I hissed sharply. A warning. I did not appreciate him butting in and using me as an excuse to pick a fight or score cheap points against Lucifer. 
“I think you ought to apologize to the lady, you certainly seem to be rude company from where I’m standing.” Lucifer shot back and Alastor’s smile curled particularly unnatural as his eye has a dim glow to them, a look that said he won, he knew exactly how to win this argument from and was relishing in it, in getting the upper hand on THE king of hell, fallen Angel, divine creation, Lucifer. Even if it was a petty quarrel. He leaned down ever so slightly, still over the shorter man’s head. 
“Her eyes disagree, I rather think she enjoys my company based on who she has been watching.” He hissed out through his teeth. Lucifer looked at me and I had to pull my eyes off Alastor to return the glance. I felt humiliated. He was right, I was of course focused on him right now just like every time I saw him, even with fucking Lucifer standing next to him. 
“Alastor.” It came out soft and small, more than a whisper but it lacked the confidence of real speech. 
“I think some tea might be a good idea.” Vaggie said pointedly to the two. Alastor and Lucifer were still staring each other down though. 
“Daaaaaaaaaaadddddd” Charlie groaned, finally snapping him back into reality, he sent me a kind smile and then walked back to his daughter. 
“Sorry sweetheart, what can I say, old habits die hard am I right? Now you said you had some kind of flow chart drawn up to show me? Or was it a cork board?” He asked and she lit back up. Charlie, Vaggie, and Lucifer left for Charlie’s office where she did much of her planning for the hotel. 
We were alone together again, this time it was my turn to walk away. 
I had heard the filthy Angel’s teasing of Lilly from across the hotel and when I saw him bring her hand to his lips something in my gut turned. Stepping out into the scene, seeing the bright crimson spread across her face by just looking at him disgusted me. I could smell the attraction on her, but I also watched her focus shift off of the divine creature and onto me as we went back and worth. Knowing that even here with most powerful creature she may ever meet those eyes still latched into me, that was gratifying. The feeling of power it lent me was intoxicating, something I have been lacking. This time I won, I had the advantage, I have something over the king of hell. Even if that is just the attention of a doe eyed sinner, I basked in the victory. But as I did I noticed the expression on her face, a light blush still dusted her cheeks which contrasted the lost look in her eyes as her mouth pulled into a decided frown. Now those eyes were cast to the ground. 
“What is wrong with you?” She asked quietly, if we hadn’t been the only two left in the room I would have wondered if it had even been directed my way. Her hands began fiddling with the material at the hem of her shirt, smoothing out minor creases with her thumbs absentmindedly. 
“Come now, just a bit of light teasing! The elder Morningstar is never serious with his courting anyway, no real loss.” I told her, keeping my voice light. I was right, he’s known to flirt on the rare occasions he has been out of his house in the last seven years, but the abandonment from his ex wife seems to have crippled his ability to do anything more. Yet I could still smell a hint of attraction, and some combination of shame and anger, on her. 
“Goodnight Alastor.” Was all she said, walking away from me. What a pity, she’s so fun to play with, even when she doesn’t want to respond her eyes and her scent betray her. Some part of me deep within me wanted her to stay, or the feeling her gaze gave me to stay, but I had a late night broadcast to perform and I wouldn’t want to leave my audience waiting.

The next evening, under the cover of darkness you once again found yourself within the walls of the Dawn Winery. The message he had sent you earlier in the day had been a simple one. I need to speak with you, come by tonight. To say that your anxiety shot through the roof is an understatement. You had barely slept the night before and spent most of today in a small panic as you waited for the proverbial shoe to drop. He had been too curious for him to not go beyond your conversation. Your lies wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him, you knew that. Still, no word had come. You had spent the better part of the day an anxiety riddled mess, only to be met with silence. Briefly, you thought you had escaped. Maybe he had bought it. Maybe your lies had been good enough. You had just about convinced yourself that maybe he hadn’t figured it out, when he contacted you. Your stomach had been in knots ever since. 
Gods what if he had figured it out. Was he angry you hadn’t told him? Was he worried you had bitten off more than you could chew? Did he think you were a complete idiot for everything that had transpired between you? You nervously chewed on the inside of your lip as the dark countryside rolled by. What if he just handed your keys back and never spoke to you again? The mere shame of that made a cold chill race down your spine. How were you supposed to face him if that happened? How were you meant to explain your falling out with Diluc to anyone that asked? Were you just expected to make up the truth or would he deepen your humiliation and tell all of Mondstadt about your folly? The possibilities of what could happen were making your head spin. Not the best feeling when you were on the winding road that led to the house. By the time you reached his door, you felt positively nauseous. You’d had half a mind to just leave, but Diluc meeting you under the portico stopped you cold in your tracks.
“Good evening.” Diluc offered a warm smile as he invited you in, gesturing you follow him past the public areas of the winery and into what appeared to be a private sitting room. There was no idle chit chat as you went. Just silence as he led and you followed. An appropriate precursor for what was to come. It was only when you were both in the room and the door was firmly closed that he addressed you again. “Thank you so much for coming on such short notice.” Diluc did his best to keep his tone neutral, but he couldn’t help the slight lilt that rested just beneath the surface. You stood there, eyes wide and shoulders stooped as you squirmed in place.That sight almost made it too hard for him to not enjoy what was about to happen.
He watched you as tentatively move further into the room, your eyes scanning over the unfamiliar space. You were like a nervous little rabbit, obliviously stepping right into his trap. He couldn’t wait to gobble you up. The things he could do, the things he wanted to do to you. They had followed him into his dreams last night and well into today. He’d had to pace himself, lest he bait his trap too early. He wasn’t supposed to know. He didn’t want to give the game away too early. If he did, there was a concern you would bolt. Diluc had to remind himself to be patient. He almost had you, it wouldn’t be long now. “No problem.” You forced a smile, obviously doing your best to seem casual, despite the concern that was etched across your face. You were practically sweating. “Is uh- is everything alright?” You stopped just shy of the armchair he was leaning on gazing up at him in trepidation. “Forgive me, but it seems odd to be called out here this late at night.” Especially considering that up until yesterday, you and he had been casual acquaintances at best. You often exchanged hellos, goodbyes, and perhaps an odd conversation about the weather or another benign topic that required little to no effort on either of your parts. Neither you nor he had the energy to go much further than that. It was by sheer dumb luck that Diluc had managed to get to know you better. There had been a mix up at Good Hunter. Your food had gotten switched, with Diluc receiving your order and vice versa. In a rare gesture, Diluc had decided to dine with you as a way of getting to know you. In truth, he liked you or at least he liked the look of you. Without speaking to you, it was hard for him to know if his fondness for you was only surface deep. With that in mind, he had made it his mission to learn more about you, but like him, you were a bit of a closed book. That’s why your request for the now infamous meeting had given him hope. It was a rare opportunity to not only catch you alone, but to have you in his own space as well. The perfect chance for one of you to make a move. “You have my apologies for that.” Diluc walked around the arm chair, taking a seat in front of you. He settled himself, drawing out the moment slightly before he continued. “There’s just something that’s been troubling me and I have to get to the bottom of it.” You raised a curious eyebrow at him, trying to hide your nervous reaction from him. He watched as you began to get more anxious with every second that passed. Your fingers twitched against your sides while you nervously licked your lips. “I realized I don’t have your cell, only your email. I find that troubling, considering what you’ve left in my possession.” Diluc’s eyes purposefully dropped to your waist, an action that didn’t go unnoticed by you. 
Your whole world spun as your worst fear washed over you. Had had figured it out. He knew.
“Diluc - ” He could see small beads of sweat beginning to form on your forehead. You took a step back, your body shrinking into itself. You knew you had been caught. He imagined the excuses and the apologies that you were lining up in an attempt to excuse your hidden motives. He wasn’t interested in any of them, not when toying with you like this more than made up for your faux pas. He found it a pleasant overture to the punishment he intended to give you later. “The challenge.” He waved his hand slightly. “What was it you called it?” He thoughtfully tapped his chin. “The denial challenge?” He cocked his head to one side watching cringe slightly. “You know I had to look, don’t you?” Stupidly, you did. It was a fantasy to think he wouldn’t. Especially since you had handed it to him on a silver platter. “I-” Your eyes fell to the floor, a shaky breath slipping past your lips. Fuck. “I’m not mad. If that’s what you’re worried about.” Your eyes quickly met his again. “I was more shocked than anything. I wouldn’t peg someone like you as being into something like that.” A wolfish grin found it’s way across his lips as you swallowed the lump that had found its way into your throat. “It does make me curious about some of your other hobbies though,” His crimson eyes rolled over your body, taking you in and perhaps deciding what they wanted to see versus what was in front of them. “Is it just the denial or are you into other activities as well?” You squirmed under his gaze, quickly feeling the pulse between your legs spring to life. Up until now, you had all but forgotten it. Now it was back with a vengeance, clouding your thoughts and nearly rendering you speechless.
“I-“ You swallowed again, shivering under his gaze. Focus. You had to focus. He didn’t need to know how deep your perversions ran. You tried to tell yourself it was none of his business, but at this stage it was a lie. He knew about the belt. It wasn’t a stretch that he had made inferences based on that. All he wanted was confirmation on whether he was right or wrong. A thing you weren’t necessarily prepare to give. “I’m not into anything-“ You turned away, shivering as you tried to phrase it. How could you quantify it? The words honestly escaped you. You could only look back at him, seeing that his grin had grown larger.
“Perhaps your mind is a bit- preoccupied. We’ll save that question for later, hm?” You dumbly nodded, feeling slightly relieved he had dropped it. “In the meantime, we need to discuss your punishment.” Your eyes went about as wide as saucers at the mere mention of the word. Punishment? He had brought you here to punish you? Celestia above, what was he planning to do? “You’ve been very bad. Did you think you could hide something like that from me and get away with it?” He chuckled. “I think not. We’ll start with you lifting your skirt. I want to see what is rightfully mine.” You visibly shivered again, your body reacting on its own. Goosebumps rose all over your flesh as a wave of excitement shot directly to your already needy c*nt. The throbbing was to a point where you almost couldn’t handle it. All you wanted at this point was to touch yourself or better still, for Diluc to touch you. Your eyes briefly dropped to his hands, the need to feel them on you growing stronger with every second that passed. You could imagine his finger pressing into your folds, stroking every inch of the soft flesh within. If you focused long enough you could envision his strong fingers finding your center and-
In the back of your mind, deep behind the sex filled haze that was clouding your senses, you knew you shouldn’t go much further than you had. While Diluc was amiable enough, you weren’t sure if this was what you wanted. Play or rather playing with someone had never entered your mind. The action of denying yourself was generally enough. You had only involved Diluc as your unknowing keyholder to add to the thrill of it all. Now everything had changed and you weren’t entirely sure how to feel about it. Out of all the reactions you thought he would have, asking to see his prize wasn’t one of them. It was difficult to rationalize in your present state of mind. “You don’t have to-” Another lump formed in your throat, your eyes finding his once again. “I’ll never force you.” Like his eyes, the predatory demeanor that had overtaken him, softened into something you were more familiar with. The rough edge slipped out of his voice and the gentle tone he normally carried returned. “I honestly just wanted to have a bit of fun at your expense.” There was another small chuckle that followed that. “I think I’m allowed to do that, all things considered.” You didn’t argue. You couldn’t, at least not really. “Just so you’re aware, you could have just told me. I would have happily held onto them for you.” “No-” Some of your courage returned, along with the shame. “It’s so embarrassing. I- I didn’t want you to think less of me.” He raised an eyebrow at you. “So trying to trick me and getting caught is better?” It would have been, had you not gotten caught. You had planned on his indifference or at the very least his disregard. His abnormal curiosity in the ordinary had led you here.
“I-“ You let out a heavy sigh, trying to regain some of your wits so that you might explain your reasoning, but in truth you had neither wits nor a solid excuse to stand on. You had purposefully kept him in the dark. You had knowingly involved him in something private. Regardless of how you felt on the subject, you were in the wrong. It was best to accept the punishment he had promised and move on. If the worst you earned was some light teasing and a scolding, then you could live with that. “I’m sorry, Diluc. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you.” He only grunted in response, confusing you as to whether he accepted your apology or not. You dumbly watched as he reached into his waistcoat pocket, pulling out a familiar set of keys. Your brows furrowed when he dangled them in front of you, allowing you to get a good look at the improvements he had made to them. 
Diluc or someone who worked for him had removed the keys from the cheap ring they had been on and had opted to have them strung onto a delicate silver chain. To you it was an odd choice. He couldn’t be planning to give them back to you if he had gone to the trouble and the expense of the chain. But, you didn’t understand the point of the chain. Did he plan on wearing them or was the chain merely a means of tormenting you a little more?
“I have a counter offer for you.” His voice snapped you back to reality. “One that you may find slightly more fun than suffering at home alone.” His eyes met yours again as his thumb pressed the chain further into the tips of his fingers. “Clearly, I was never meant to know about this-” He gestured at your covered middle again. “If I’m being honest, I had no right to check. It was only after our meeting yesterday that I grew concerned.” He furrowed his brow, his tone turning slightly serious. “You were so out of sorts. I was worried something had happened or worse, you had done something you couldn’t get out of.” There was an irony in that last reason. One that neither of you missed. Diluc’s worried look gave way to a smirk before he continued. “I’m happy to give these-” He gently shook the keys, allowing them to sway and move with the force of his hand after he had finished. “Back to you and pretend this entire affair never happened.” That was easier said than done. It wasn’t like you would just be able to take your keys and forget the humiliation you’d caused yourself thanks to your folly. You were figuring you would have to move beyond Snezhnaya at this rate. “My only request for either option is if you attempt to do this again that you trust me enough to tell me. What you’re doing isn’t dangerous, but it can be a lot to carry on your own. It will make things easier on you if you have someone there to support you.” Briefly you smiled, appreciating both his concern and his advice. Having him as a fall back would be kind of nice. “What’s-” You cleared the rust that had formed from your throat. “What’s the other option?” He smirked, resting the chain with your keys on his knee. When he had finished, Diluc sat in silence for a moment or two, regarding you before he spoke to you again. “May I?” He vaguely gestured at your middle, indicating he wanted to touch you. 
Without realizing it you drew in a sharp breath, holding for a moment or two before you released it. Again, you shouldn’t, but god you needed something. The pulsing between your legs was becoming overwhelming. Even with the shield between you, all you could think was that his fingers pressing against you would feel like heaven. You were almost ready to beg him for even the slightest form of contact before his offer. Now that it lingered between you, heavily hanging in the air like a waft of smoke, all you could think was reservations be damned. If this ended with him removing your belt and sending you on your way, then you ought to get something for it.
A soft little moan that barely passed as a please made it past your lips. A plea from you to him to follow through on what he was prepared to do. Rather whorishly, you opened your legs up further for him, your fingers wrapping in the fabric of your skirt so you could lift it just far enough so he would have easy access to what he wanted, but not be able to see. Diluc didn’t hesitate at your invitation. He briefly brushed his fingers over the inside of your thigh, the leather of his gloves biting at your skin, causing you to shiver. He pressed on, his digits softly moving up the sensitive skin of your inner thigh, wasting very little time in seeking out what he actually wanted. His fingers quickly found the metal shield, easily pressing it up into your pussy just so. Gods it felt like heaven. You gasped, your eyes fluttering closed as he toyed with your sex through the supposed safety of the belt. You were so embarrassingly wet, so shamefully needy. You had to wonder if he could feel it through his leather gloves. “Or” He ground his fingers against the shield, hitting just the right spot. You moaned again, this time loud enough that you swore the whole house had heard you. “We take this a little more seriously.” You couldn’t stop the second, slightly smaller moan that slipped past your lips. On its own, your body pushed back against his hand, grinding against it in the hope of getting some desperately needed friction. “Because that’s why you asked to give me the keys in the first place, isn’t it? You fantasize about being controlled, don’t you?” Your eyes flew open at the accusation.
“Diluc”
“Sir.” Your eyes went wider. “For the next month at least, it’s sir.” You swallowed nodding. “I’ll repeat my question;  You fantasize about being controlled, yes?” All too quickly, the fog began to take over your mind again. The same one that left you whimpering and whining after you had fucked yourself to a few good orgasms. The idea of being controlled, the notion of Diluc exerting his dominance over you. Your whole body vibrated at the thought. “Yes sir.” Again, like the other day, your tone landed between needy and frustrated. You mewled the phrase at him in the idiotic hope that he might do more.
“Then listen, carefully.” You nodded. “For the next month, you, not just this-“ He gently squeezed your c*nt. “You, belong to me. Understand?” 
“Yes-“ You released a stuttering breath, whispering the word sir. God it was pathetic how quickly you had fallen under his spell, but the proposition of control was intoxicating. You wouldn’t have to fantasize about Diluc’s oh so firm hands pleasuring you when he was happy to place one between your legs.
“Good” He pulled his hand away from your gyrating pelvis, snapping the spell he had placed over you. Briefly, you saw the dim light of the room reflecting off the juices you had left on his glove. All at once you were all too aware of how exposed you were and how shamelessly you were acting.
“Sir-“ Your cheeks felt like they were a million degrees. The one thing you hadn’t wanted was to get caught. You had sworn you would crawl in a hole if you did, just from the embarrassment of it. That humiliation of that paled in comparison to humping his hand like a wanton whore and soiling his glove with your arousal. He shushed you, not allowing you to continue.
“I see why you locked yourself away. You’re quite the licentious thing, aren’t you.” He held up the hand with the soiled glove as proof. “Tsk Tsk.” He shook his head as you looked away in utter embarrassment. “I should leave you like that. A sinful thing like you deserves to be locked up, if nothing else then for the safety of the community. Think of what would have happened if you had been seen in this state.” He lightly laughed. “I can just imagine the knights finding you like this, all wet and needy and ready to be taken like the sl*t you are.” Your knees nearly buckled. Dear god. Your body felt like it was on fire. All you could was shake and drip as he ran you down. It was almost enough to make you cum untouched, almost. “Thank goodness I found you first. I get to have you all to myself.” You could hear the desire in his voice, even If you couldn’t see it in his face. “If you play this game with me and do all that I ask, then at the end of month I will let you out of your prison and personally give you the pleasure that I’m sure you’ll be craving.” You swallowed, your whole body vibrating at the thought of that. “As-” Your courage failed you for a moment. “As much as I want?” “As much as you can take, for as long as you can take it.” You mewled, your thighs shaking at the thought. Thirty days of being his, of being subjected to his whims and he would fuck you to your heart’s content. Despite your lingering concern, that was a worthwhile reward in your book. “What if-” You shook at the thought. “What if it’s too much? What if I can’t take it? I’ve never-” You had never gone this far on your own, nevermind involve another person. The sensation that you were handing yourself over to him and his discretion was thrilling, but also terrifying. You didn’t know your limits and worse still, you couldn’t articulate them to him. What would happen if you reached them too quickly? Would he be mean and force you to keep your word or would he let you out? “Will you still hold me to it?” He tilted his head slightly giving you an unreadable look. “As I said, I’ll never force you. I may push you at times for our mutual enjoyment, but I will never force you. If at any point the arrangement becomes too much for you to bear, then you are free to stop it. We’ll decide on a special word for you to use when it all becomes too much or if you don’t like where we’re headed. All you need to do is use it and we’ll stop to assess everything.” You nodded, feeling the fluttering sensation in your stomach ease. 
What happened next was for lack of a better term, a blur. To your utter confusion, he took your keys off his knee, slipping them and his hands back up under your skirt. You felt him feeling around the center of the waist portion of your belt, searching for the cause of all of this bother. “Then if we are in agreement, we can proceed.” You mumbled out a yes, watching in utter confusion as he removed your lock from the belt. It and the keys found their way to his knee, while his other hand held the belt firmly in place.
“There is just one more thing.” You gave him a generally confused look when he reached into his other waistcoat pocket, pulling something you couldn’t see out. “I’m rather funny about security. I have a thing about outside locks or third party devices. We use custom ones here at the winery and at the tavern.” From behind his fingers, he produced a second lock. This one was heavier and more obvious than the one you had provided. All you could do was stare at it with trepidation as he moved it closer to you. “Considering you have already deceived me once, it would make things easier for me if I knew that you were properly locked away.” You felt him wrap the lock around the connector, settling it in place. “One last chance to get away.” He paused, his eyes holding yours just long enough for you to fully descend into the depravity he was offering. You stiffly nodded, your whole body shivering when he pressed the lock shut without a moment's hesitation. “Get on your knees.” He didn’t allow you the luxury of worrying about it further. You obeyed, fast enough that you earned his praise. “This-” He lifted the chain with your old keys off his knee again, easily bringing it around your neck so he could clip it into place. “Is your punishment.” Diluc pulled back, settling the cold metal into the hollow of your throat. “Good toys know their place. They don’t lie. They don’t hide things. From now on, you’ll wear these as a reminder of that. Everytime you look at them, I want you to remember why you have to wear them, understand?” You did. Even if you generally hated the idea, you did. “I did apologize.” He chuckled, running the back of his finger over your cheek. “I am appreciative, but in this case an apology isn’t enough. When I feel you’re repentant enough, I’ll let you take them off. In the meantime though, they only come off to shower and sleep. The rest of the time I expect to see them.” For some idiotic reason, you imagined Diluc pinned to the ledge outside your window, watching your every move. Considering his size it was almost laughable.
Behind him, a small clock chimed the hour. It was late, too late to get a cab or ask him to take you home. Just as you began to weigh your options as to what you could do, he spoke again, breaking you out of your thoughts. “I’ve had the maids make up the guest room. You can sleep in there tonight. I’ll take you home after breakfast.” He brought his hand up under your jaw, his thumb tracing over your lips as he thought something over. “Before I do-” He slipped the same thumb that had been on your lips, past them. “If you aren’t too exhausted from the emotional acrobatics you've gone through today, I’d like to enjoy my new toy a little.” He pressed his thumb against the tip of your tongue, holding it in place. “You’ve worked me up into quite the frenzy these last two days. I’ve often thought about how you would look lovely with my c*ck in your mouth. What do you say we find out?”

the little mermaid (2023)
prince eric’s pov:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“we should allow you to get some sleep, and perhaps dried off as well.”
“oh, uh, yes! we took a boat out on the lagoon and i’m afraid we ended up in it!”
“anyway, goodnight.”
grimsby’s exquisite hosting etiquette saves me from my embarrassingly giggly manner. i’ve been like this all day, surprising myself as i have never been this way with anyone but myself, in my study. but today, as i rediscovered the beauty of the island with this very curious and very free-spirited young lady, i couldn’t help but enjoy the intimacy of sharing happiness and joy with her, as if it is what I am meant to do for the rest of my life
my eyes follow her small silhouette up the stairs and I am speechless, unable to say anything more to not embarrass myself further. i fail immensely as my cheeks heat up when she turns around catching me smiling, admiring how breathtaking she looks in my hat, how her beautiful long locks fall down her back. unable to hide my fondness for her , i stand still as she walks back down towards me and places my hat on my head. having nowhere else to hide, my eyes wonder else wear to not meet hers. my brain is only allowed to think of “goodnight. ariel” after inhaling her sweet salty scent once more.
as ariel walks up the stairs towards the guest bedchambers, my mind is reminded of the wonderful day i shared with her. In complete and utter bliss, here i stand, frozen as I stare at the girl that washed up from the sea just yesterday, desperately wishing i had built up the courage to have kissed her way before we fell into the lagoon
ariel.
my comfort and care-free spirit today with her leads me to believe i had to have met ariel before her arrival at the castle. i am reminded of the reaction my body had under her touch in the row boat, how familiar it was on my cheek. my mind has been a fog ever since, ariel consuming every thought racing in my mind. she is all i can think about now. after having had only spent a day with this beautiful stranger, I can not imagine what life was before her or what it could be after, without her. she has invaded me in every way possible and i can not seem to remember what occupied me before her.
i am snapped out of my heavenly thoughts by grimsby’s voice, expressing disappointment when stating they could not find the girl. What girl is he referring to?

“scar…” grian has his back on the sand, legs kicking idly against the wall of monopoly mountain. the desert is so fucking hot today. scar would strip naked and lay in the shade all day if grian weren't here to lecture him about it. “i’ve been wondering something.”
he laughs. he hopes he doesn’t look too suspicious. “that's just like you, g! always wondering about something. so curious! you know, i like that about you, i think curiosity is a--”
“scar,” he tosses one of their apples at his head. he catches it before it hits him. “shut up.”
he takes a bite out of the apple. it's too sour for his liking. grian picked it yesterday, wont stop throwing it up and down like it's his only source of entertainment in this wasteland. which, rude. he’s right here. 
“alright.” he says between chews. their game is only fun when grian feels like playing it.
“your name…” he turns his head towards him, an eyebrow raised. “where did it come from?”
he looks down at his naked torso littered with scars. he’s gotten a few more since they’ve teamed up. pointedly, he takes a bite of his apple, because he knows grian isn’t dumb. his friend scoffs. his wings are getting all dusty. 
“well of course i can see these things, scar. i mean who gave it to you?” 
his stomach does something funny. nobody here knows. two loaded scars are hidden beneath a mountain of other scars, hidden behind armour and muscles and charming handsome smiles. 
“who gives any of us our names?” he muses to avoid the question. “our parents, sure, but do you remember why they named you grian? do you remember them?” 
grian scoffs. although his wings fluff up in annoyance, he doesn't stoop to scars level. sometimes he wishes he would. why the heck is grian interested in his life all of a sudden? 
(why does it make him happy?)
“i named myself, scar. there were no parents to do it.” 
he sits up so fast he drops his apple. grian startles, his legs thunking down onto the ground. a weird sort of warble works its way out of his throat.
“scar!” he shouts. “what happened?! are you alright? are we being attacked?” 
oh. now he feels kind of bad for reacting like that. he's gone and worried his partner in crime. he sits back down bashfully.
“uh… no. no, you just surprised me.”
it’s grian’s turn to look suspicious. “and why is that?” 
he’s gone and made him defensive, he can see by the way his back straightens, his eyes narrowing. completely understandable. scar feels like a real fucking idiot right now. 
“i just-- i just haven’t met anyone who’s like…” his voice dries in his throat. he swallows.
“what?” grian is angry now. “like what, scar?” 
“like me?” he finishes lamely, shoulders dropping. 
“oh.” grian says. “oh.” 
he purses his lips, scratches at the back of his neck. somewhere in the background a rabbit skirts around the sand. other than that, the desert is still and unmoving.
“yeah.” 
grian’s harsh face breaks into a smile. it feels like it’s been years since he’s seen him smile like that. has he ever even really seen him smile like that? why does he feel so nostalgic? 
“you could’ve just said that.” 
he finds himself smiling, too. “and ruin the suspense? grian, how would we have fun with no tension?” 
his exasperated look is softer than usual. his laugh is quiet as he looks away from scar. he stares off into the distance. from here he can try and memorize every angle of his jaw, every freckle on his face. for the first time in a while he indulges himself. 
they don’t say anything after that. he’s not sure if they’re ever going to mention this again. tomorrow they’ll go back to their routine, their careful distance. for now he sits and lets himself get lost in grian’s face, basking in the warmth of the sun and the warmth of being understood by someone who you love so much.

I know you answered a zombie au ask just yesterday, but, do you have any more drafts of Makoto interacting with his class? Or class 77?
No worries; I love that you guys enjoy this AU, and I enjoy writing it!
...
"...Thirty-six...Thirty-seven...Thirty-eight..."
"Can she tell if you don't do all fifty?" Nagito asked, a curious tilt to his head as he ate a handful of popcorn, watching Makoto brush one of Junko's somehow-intact pigtails.
"Yeah, she can tell." (Makoto interspersed his counting throughout his explanation.) "I always thought she was joking when she said fifty, but one day I tried it, and it actually curbs a lot of her, uh, mischief."
In fact, Junko was genuinely falling asleep, her head dipping to rest against his knee.
Nagito looked fascinated. "You mean, she notices if you skip numbers or-?"
"Yep. If I try to cheat, she acts out again."
"Amazing. That seems to mean she can still count!"
"I guess so."
"Does she still talk?"
"Noises, mostly. Sometimes she says words, but they seem random. When Kyoko says words, they're definitely related to what she means to say. I'm not sure if Junko still understands what she's saying or if she just remembers the sounds of some words." He switched sides. "One...two..."
"She's putting a bone in your sock," Nagito observed.
Junko's eyes were still closed, and her body was still relaxing against Makoto's leg, but her hand had found his ankle and slipped a sparrow's vertebrae as deep into his sock as she could get it. It looked like she did it just absentmindedly.
"Yeah, she does that. It's fine. I'll take it out later. The real problem is when she pretends to choke on a bone so I'll get close enough for her to bite. She's really good at it."
"Hmm." Nagito smiled absently. He set aside his popcorn to help Ibuki un-snag her shirt from one of her piercings, but his mind was still on the previous topic, as evidenced by him shortly inquiring, "Do you like it when they bite you?"
"Like it? What do you mean?"
"Well, at some point, doesn't it start to seem like a sign of affection?"
"Oh, that. I guess in a way, yeah. I mean, they're definitely not doing it because they want to hurt us. It's just part of how they communicate. It's to show us what they're feeling."
"Exactly!"
Makoto wasn't sure what to make of Nagito's big grin, but he did his best. "It's pretty reassuring, how they can still make sure we understand them. It shows that they're still themselves, even though they're different in a lot of ways."
"Still themselves," Nagito echoed wistfully.
"...Forty-eight...Forty-nine...Fifty." Makoto finished at last with the other pigtail and carefully maneuvered Junko to sleep on something other than him. While he was getting her settled, Leon took the hairbrush and started brandishing it at him, but he merely said, "Sorry, but my hands need a rest. We'll do it later, okay?"
Leon tried to forcibly wrap Makoto's hand around the brush, and when Makoto stood his ground about taking a break, Leon huffed and threw it so hard across the room that he cracked the leg of a desk.
"You're just gonna have to go get it," Makoto said wearily.
Leon stalked away to get the brush.
Nagito offered Makoto some of his popcorn. He took a few kernels.
"That's one way he's different," Makoto said. "Leon never wanted anyone to touch his hair before."
"The dye job looks good," Nagito observed. "It was your first time, right?"
"Yeah. They sent me instructions with the dye, though, when I told them how agitated he was about his roots growing in." Makoto smiled at the memory. It had been difficult to dye Leon's hair, but he did feel like it had brought them closer. "My hands were stained for days."
Nagito looked at him a little oddly. Almost...sadly? No, that wasn't quite it.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong."
"Then, what are you thinking about?"
Nagito took some more popcorn, affecting a casual look. "Just that it's ironic, that's all."
"Ironic? That...my hands were stained? Or...?"
"Ah, Teruteru!" Nagito sighed, pulling his bag of popcorn out of the way too late to stop Teruteru from dropping a handful of bloody meat into it. "Well, that's a shame. We had so much left."
Makoto couldn't help thinking that Nagito was usually better at anticipating Teruteru's acts of food vandalism, and that he seemed relieved for the change of subject.
But he guessed it wasn't that big a deal, so he moved on. "Hina and Sakura always love having Nekomaru over. It's nice to see them having fun."
"I've been thinking about that," Nagito said. "What if, every now and then, we took the athletes outside? They really do need more room to run around."
What? Makoto checked to see if he was serious. "Outside? Where the reserve course are?"
"Oh, I'm pretty sure most of them are hunkered down in the reserve course buildings. And if we both do it together, then we can both make sure there aren't any problematic consequences. I think Peko and Sakura will stop the others from going too far."
"Yeah, maybe they would..." Makoto frowned. "But I still don't- Oh, hold that thought; Syo has scissors again." He sprang to his feet. "Byakuya! Help?"
Hina ended up being the one to restrain Syo, who had come perilously close to cutting off Hiyoko's ponytail.
...
(For the record, I assume the colorful hair and eyes are the characters' natural features until given contrary evidence, but Leon does say that his hair is dyed, like, the first time we meet him, so.)

ACCIDENTAL LOVE
heres a long oneshot from me! i know my mind wouldnt process to make a series for this. i dont know how to feel about it. love you bebs
title was chosen by: @yvxmpire. its pretty long so get comfortable. there might be spelling errors. your girl needs school and Jesus🙏🏾
shuri x black!fem!reader
warning: flirtatious activity?
word count: 1 926. (i think)
Tumblr media
02:22 AM
you woke up in the middle of the night. typical. you felt dehydrated since you hadn't drank liquids the whole day yesterday. you got up and put on your light purple pyjama pants and a white tank top and stepped out to go grab a glass of water.
as you made your way to the elevator, your eyes shifted towards the lab on the right. you walked in feelings curious.
"I'm sure no one is in there."
you thought to yourself. As you opened the door, you happened to forget about Griot and his habit of announcing everything.
"Princess, Miss Y/N has arrived."
"Wait, the princess is here?"
you thought to yourself more baffled. You still walked in, thinking she might not actually be in here, due to the time. You saw Shuri turn her head towards the door where you soon entered. She shot you a grin which made you wonder what it could mean. "Oh, I'm so sorry, didn't think anyone was in here..." you said hesitantly. You noticed there was a song playing in the background but you would not be able to hear it outside of the lab since its soundproof.
"Oh, y/n, were you going to get a glass of water again?" She said looking you up and down with a deep, raspy voice. You swear you looked like the ripest red tomato ever at that comment. How did she know I was thirsty? "Uhm, yeah. Sorry to disturb you, I'll-" You said apologetically.
"No, its okay, really. I have a bottle of water in my mini fridge over there. Feel free." She said with a smile etched on her beautifully carved face.
You couldn't lie to yourself. You had a bit of a crush on the princess. OKAY FINE. A HUGE crush on the princess. It got to the point where you had small talks with Queen Mother (who was basically your second mom) about your feelings for Shuri. You knew she wouldn't feel the same way so you just-
"Y/N?" Shuri spoke in a worried voice. You quickly snapped out of your own delusional thoughts and back into reality again. She looked at you with these eyes that made you heart skip a beat. or two. "Oh sorry, I was just thinking and thank you." You went to Shuri's mini fridge located near Shuri's desk. As you grabbed it and thanked Shuri starting to walk off, she grabbed a hold of your hand gently which made spin towards her direction. "Y/N, try to stop this habit of waking up in the middle of the night because you hadn't drank any liquids the whole day. Promise me?" She said with a worried expression plastered on her face, waiting on your response. She noticed how flustered you were and smirked. "Uh, pro-promise." You said barely getting the words out of your damn mouth. Focus Y/N. She let your hand go and as you started to walk away, she followed you. As you walked out of the lab, she locked the door behind her. She made her way to her room, located in the same hallway as yours. She shot you finger guns with a full fledged smile and close the door behind.
"Bast help me."
_____________NEXT MORNING_____________
07:11 AM
"Good morning, Miss Y/N. You are request by Queen Ramonda in the dining hall at 8:00 AM." Griot announced. Your sleep was interrupted, forcing you to get up and get ready. "UGH, IT'S SO EARLYYY" regardless, you slumped your way out bed. you fell out of bed on the floor with a loud thump. "AH, SHI" you almost swore loudly for the whole castle to hear you.
You headed to your ridiculously large bathroom and got ready. You always over-dressed to everything you attend. You decided to be simple today. But your definition of simple was... detable. So you forced yourself to stay away from that side of the closet.
Tumblr media
You wore a green sweatpants set with small gold hoop earrings, which brought out your eyes. You tied your back with two little pieces hanging in front of your eyes. You had one final look in the mirror and winked, happy with the final product.
You walked out of your bedroom closing the door behind it and made your way to the elevator. As you walked, you looked to your right facing the lab, recalling the events that happened not so long ago, 5 hours ago actually. You happened to remember what a fool you made of yourself infront of Shuri.
"Classic y/n."
you thought to yourself. You were so deep in your thoughts not even noticing the princess herself waving her hand try to get your attention from whatever you were thinking. "Bast, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I must be hungry." You said with a small apologetic smile etched on your face. She was quick to respond with a "no problem" smile on your face. You both walked into the elevator. As it started moving, there was an awkward silence for a few seconds before Shuri spoke up which startled you.
"Don't you think your overdressed?"
she said as she eyed up and down with a smirk until her gaze made its way to your eyes. You tried to build up some confidence which was pretty difficult under her intense gaze.
"This was the best I could do. You know I have a problem, princess."
Oop- where did all that confidence come from girl? She looked a bit flustered at the term you used for her. Everyone calls her this but she always liked the way you said it.
You both soon reached the dining hall and walked out, her leading to find Queen Ramonda sitting down already, probably waiting for the two of you. She smiled at the sight in front of her considering the stuff you two talked about. You made your way to the seat assigned to you and got comfortable. Shuri switfly sat next to you and smirked. You had no idea why but you tried to hide your confusion.
"Good morning, Queen Mother."
"Good morning, y/n my darling"
"Good morning, Mother"
"Good morning, lovely daughter, so glad you could join us."
Shuri only comes to breakfast once in a blue moon. She usually orders for the food to be brought to the lab, where she spends most of her time, practically hibernating in there.
____________________________
14:44 PM
You and the Queen were sitting out in the garden next to eachother facing the wall covered in Wakandan art. It was truly a beautiful sight to you both.
You and the queen have been very close practically since your birth. The queen and your mother have been best friends since high school. After giving birth to you unfortunately, she died soon after. Since then, Ramonda took you in and raised you as your own. She was like the mother you never had... Wait-
There was a comfortable silence between the two of you.
"So Y/N, Griot informed me of your little encounter in the dear early hours of the morning with Shuri"
"Ohhh yeah, it was nothing, just needed a glass of water. I was thirsty and just HAPPENED to let my curiosity get the best of me. No big deal."
"She likes you." was all that came out of the Queen's mouth. Those 3 words quickly brought your attention towards her.
"She hasn't said it but from the looks of it, I can easily tell she feels the same way. I would be happy if I were you."
You couldn't help the smile that was slowly appearing on your sunkissed face. Ramonda was quick to notice and giggled at your reaction which made you lose the smile and be more serious and contain yourself.
"I can't get my hopes up. She might just be like this in a way as friends. I don't want to ruin our friendship with my feelings for her. And I don't need her finding out. Too risky, don't you think Queen Mother? I love her but I'm scared."
You whispered the last part. You were so deep in your conversation not hearing footsteps approach you and a deep, sly-like voice spoke behind the two you of startling you both.
"Too late." Shuri said with a smirk on her beautiful face.
"Bast."
"I'm gonna leave you girls to uh, talk. Don't be naughty Shuri. Y/N, I have my eyes on you too."
Queen Ramonda joked playfully. Your face turned red and avoided eye contact as Shuri sat down in the lounge chair beside you. There was silence. Neither of you spoke after the events that just occurred and Shuri knew how embarrassed you felt after you found out about she truly feels about you. But little did you know. She slowly took your hand and slowly rubbed your knuckles with hand. You tensed up a bit at the contact but relax at the gentle soothingness it brought.
"You know Y/N/N, I'm suprised Mother hasn't told you about my feelings for you. I've liked you since we were kids actually. I always had a soft spot for you, and if you haven't noticed it yet, means I'm pretty good at hiding my feelings. That's why I'm so protective of you and worried that you don't get enough liquids or getting enough sleep. Because I love you. When I heard you talking about your feelings for me, I felt so happy. I was also scared Y/N. To ruin the friendship between us. But now, I think I can relax, right? Oh, and I heard you falling of your bed this morning, couldn't help but laugh."
She said the last sentence with a chuckle that sent your heart doing backflips with fireworks errupting. How does one's laugh sound so pretty? You chuckled as well, hoping you don't sound like a nervous wreck over her. Pull yourself together Y/N.
"Wow, uh. I really didn't expect this from you. Like never. And when I mean never I mean-" You cut yourself off. You sounded like a robot that was malfunctioning.
"Uh anyway, I guess I can relax too. Such a relief. I'm happy you feel the same way too. I... I love you too, princess. Sorry I just feel like none of this is real. Am I sure none of this is a prank? Would be more embarrassing than falling off a bed don't you agree?"
You said jokingly as Shuri laughed hitting her leg with the hand not holding you and throwing her head back, letting her curls bounce on her face. You looked at her and smiled.
'She's so beautiful, she is definitely sent from heaven.' You thought to yourself.
"Your more beautiful" She said smiling.
'Did she just read my mind? Did I say that out loud?' You thought to yourself again as your eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Y/N, why do you keep telling me your thoughts?" She said as she laughed.
"Bast. What is going on with me? I really-"
Before you could finish, at this point, Shuri had moved her chair closer to yours.
She kissed you. Magical, amazing, what's the word? It felt like you could taste the word beautiful. They moved in sync. As Shuri slid her hands on her waist, she was interrupted.
"SHURI, Y/N!"
"Sorry Mother." you said in unison

I just got back from trick or treating and my legs hurt like a BITCH but i got plenty of candy so 🤷
Tumblr media
^my costume that i got literally two days ago
SORRY FOR NOR REPLUING TO IT YESTERDAY I WAS TYPING IT UP BUT GOT DISTRACTED AND TUMBLR DELETED THE WHOLE THING OVERNIGHT
THAT COSTUME LOOKS SO COOL. TOP 3 COOLEST COSTUMES I'VE EVER SEEN OUTSIDE OF COSPLAYER INSTAGRAM PEOPLE, TRULY
Does uhe gas mask itch??? It looks so pretty and fitted, does it have the plastic-like texture of other halloween masks???
Did you get any full-sized chocolate bars? I'm ganuinely curious about this specific part of gringo halloween culture because here (in my experience, at least) the imported candies are always melted and taste funny, so all you get is stuff like dragonzitos, tamborines, pulparindos, picafresas, paletas payaso, chupa chups, bocadines, etc etc. (And trick-or-treating has been, for me and most of the people my age I know, a very limited thing because of insecurity, so if your enclosed neighbourhood doesn't really do halloween, you're done for)
I couldn't go trick or treating because of some calculus homework and play rehearsal, but i'm only a bit down about the phantom of the opera thing, but I still have the costume and día de muertos is tomorrow and I would bet you anything that I will enjoy the sweet bread more than walking my old man twig bones and hope the old people in my neighbourhood have candy ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Did anyone recognise your costume? Did your close acquantance go with you? Was it fun? I really do hope it was :)
