author's note : /
â Rafe is not allowed in it. â
Sarah Cameron didn't want to share you. As the high Kook Princess that she was, she always got what she asked for. She never had to sweat or bleed to get what she wanted. So if she wanted you to be hers, you were hers.
But that meant there could only be her in your life because there was no way she was sharing her girlfriends with Rafe. She had always been the crueler of the two. It wasn't surprising since Ward had always favored her. If she acted like this, it was because she had always been allowed to. It was too hard for Ward to deny her anything. And if he couldn't be tough and firm with her, he needed to be with someone else.
And Rafe was so easily the perfect prey.
Just like you were Rafe's perfect victim when Ward was evil to him.
You were only there because his father married your mother. You were just an outsider to this degenerate family and yet you were now part of a conflict of interest between the two siblings.
in fact, it has been terribly easy for Rafe to have power over you and to abuse it. Since you suffered from a father who had never been there for you, and you refused Ward to be that father figure for you, he simply had to use your daddy issues to his advantage.
so he had always looked for the slightest fault or failure in you. he was going to find any excuses for you to cry in his arms. also, he was very controlling. you weren't sure of the outfit you wanted to wear? he knew how to compliment you. Did he hate your outfit? he also knew how to make you insecure about it. he was an expert in manipulation since he was a compulsive liar.
you weren't just his stepsister, you were his fucking forbidden fruit.
you were too perfect, too good, too clean. but he wasn't like sarah. if he wanted you, he was going to damage you and destroy you. Rafe wasn't good at taking care of people. He had a terrible view of affection. He wasn't even sure what it was.
You were so adorable that it hurt, that he wanted to make you suffer.
He knew he could never make Sarah suffer, and that he was secretly the only one suffering from this distance between the two of them. Because Sarah was meaner. People always stayed with her despite the suffering she inflicted on them. Because she was so much better than him in terms of playing the victim.
he also hated the fact that you preferred sarah more than him. why did he always have to be the one who sweats and bleeds to be appreciated while sarah just had to bat her eyelashes to get everyone under her spell ? it was unfair.
and without meaning to, he had started to categorize you like her, a simple bitch among the others. except he needed you to know it, he needed you to be treated like one to be happier. and damn, he deserved this happiness. more than you, more than sarah. more than anyone in this house.
he hated the way you stayed together like sweethearts, even though you were far from being angels.
" think sarah would appreciate seeing you like that ? being such a whore for me, think she would pay you the same respect after seeing you drooling for my dick ?"
his voice was so sharp that you gulped hard under his words.
you were on your knees, mouth stuffed deep by his cock. your corners were dripping as you gave him a sloppy head for a few minutes raw. he held your head by the hair while you gagged on him which served as an excuse for him to degrade you even more. you were so pathetic, willing to do anything to satisfy him. your mouth was working so hard that it felt like it was always meant for this, to be used and treated so dirty.
he was so hard that you could feel every inch of his dick inside your mouth. every noise you made was sucked away by the wet sound of your lips around his cock.
âyou can cry all you want, maybe those tears will help you get my dick wet and nice. if you don't like me being mean to you, you should learn it before choosing this bitch over me. â
you continued to pump him, while he forced your throat with his thrusts, his heavy hips slamming down your cheeks.
â tongue out...such a pretty girl...â he mocked you, tear-jerking more cries from you. âbetter swallow what I give you. don't disappoint me twice, i can't fail you. â
he lost his patience with you so he didn't care that he was cold, and that you took it so badly. that was all you deserved.
he had spat on your tongue, once, twice, until he saw his spit sliding down your throat, until he saw the large glob foaming around his cock, creating a web around his glistening red tip. you were so messy and dirty like a dog after a walk.
and you made him even harder when you took him this far in your mouth. he could feel you struggling and gasping for air. you were so miserable that it made him feel better to see someone even more pathetic than him for once.
â what's up, pretty ? thought you were an angel but you're such an evil thing. â
you tried so hard to speak back but his dick was hanging out your jaw to the point all your drool was dripping from your chin. you were such a mess, unable to talk, unable to think. he was fucking your face, tearing your lips apart with the length of his cock. he was driving his shaft so fast in your mouth that you were just good at choking on it. he wrapped a hand around your neck and smirked when he could feel your throat bulging around his dick. your tears were hot, and your cheeks soaked with spit and cries.
he spat on your face, watching his spittle drip down your cheekbones like tears before smearing it on your cheeks.
â repeat after me. say i'm good to you. now, say it. "
oh yes, he needed to hear it. he needed to hear from you that he was good for you. he needed to hear you say that you didnât need anyone but him. he needed to feel important to someone.
â y-y-our good to...me...hmpf...â
your muffled words were enough to make him cum.
he had released everything in your mouth, splashing it deep down your stomach.
but it wasn't just rafe.
sarah also had this need for control over you. she started to establish her territory on you.
her brother didn't deserve to have someone like you. pretty and angelic girls were only reserved for girls.
ârafe isnât allowed in it.â
you thought it would end there but she had opened your thighs to slip her fingers inside your folds. you were already terribly wet as if you had been hearing about her touch all evening.
but she didn't want to make you cum. no sarah cameron wanted to make sure no one made you cum before. she inspected every corner of your pussy with her fingers.
at first, she just checked the inside, before starting to pump it in and out, watching you getting wetter with her fingers working in your insides. her thrusts were fast and deep but also insanely forceful, leading you to take the heavy pace she was driving onto you. you were panting and crying like a crybaby, as you could feel every of her digits bruising your walls.
you thought Rafe was mean but Sarah was meaner.
her fingers were tearing apart your canal, literally opening you too deep and you were supposed to be quiet because all your family was sleeping. and you didn't want to be caught in that position, especially when the situation was already so shameful. you didn't want anyone to know about your secrets.
â say it. say that you prefer me over him. â she urged you as she was scissoring you quicker, making you squirm over her fingers.
she was supposed to be your gentle princess, the delicate sweetheart that took you on amazing day to make girlies activities, but also the kook queen that spoiled you everytime you wanted something, but also the good sister that help you dress and listen to your matters but now you were just her pathetic whimpering dirty slut.
you were the toy that she's gonna use until she was satisfied and tired of it.
â and you better say it like you mean it. because i can be pretty good, but also, really bad. and you don't want your step sister to be mean to you ? you don't want her to be your worst nightmare ? â
she was scaring you at this point, but he really worked. you felt a lot of things inside your body, and your mind was so fucked up. her smile was so wicked, but less than the fingers curled inside your weeping core. the way she was so cruel, calling your brain a real pussy for being so useless and making you so wet by the way she was degrading you.
â youâŠyou're far better, sarah. â you moaned, but she muffled your noises with her hand by putting her fingers inside your mouth.
â i don't want to see you with that loser anymore. let him cry, it's the only thing he's good at it. â she paused before continuing. â I thought you were like meâŠbut you're just like him. i really need to change that. â
she knelt in front of you before spitting on your pussy. she waited for the spit to make its way down to your soaked slick to slide her tongue inside your parts. you forced yourself not to scream but you felt awful.
she was just too good.
you promised rafe not to hang out with sarah anymore, but you also promised sarah the same thing. as they both played with you, you allowed yourself to betray each of them. it was their fault. they had both taught you to be selfish.
her tongue was so warm. she had barely slipped it between your folds when you were already getting wet on her mouth. as she licked you, causing the inside of you to spasm, her chin was stuck to your weeping slit.
her tongue was toying with your cunt. you were so good, a fucking heaven. she mixed her spit with the foaming wetness at your entrance. she forced you to stay still, threatening you with her eyes and controlling your body with a hand on your tummy.
she didn't forget your clit and she also played with your arched bud to the point of making it bruise. her mouth was wrapped to your pussy, latched on and licking it, collecting every stream of your pussy.
she has so much power over you.
all her thrusts were so perfect. she absolutely wanted that if someone touched you here, you would remember that it belonged to her.
she wanted you to think of her every time someone touched you, just like Rafe wanted you to only think of him if someone entered you.
except you were free. with sarah, you only thought of her. with rafe, you only thought of him. you were not a toy. you had feelings. and you weren't going to get into their stupid, competitive games.
when sarah took a strap out of her drawer, you looked at her with wide eyes. you have never gone this far before. she reassured you while you watched her put it around her waist.
âwhat do you want..."
she laughed in a sharp mocked tone. oh where you sweet girl at? âI don't want anything. it's just what you need. because you like to think about dick, i'm gonna show what's a real cock is. now, enough. turn around. i don't want to see your face anymore. â
âyou're just so mean sometimes. â you cried softly, before you obeyed her like the good girl you were .
âoh that why your tears for? should them be for letting a pathetic man fucking you behind my back. now you want to cry this much? Fine, it's all I want to hear from you. â
That was how you ended up between the two Cameron but you were unable to make a choice. why were you forced to?
âsarah said i look pretty in that dress.â you started.
âlet me choose something better for you then. don't you want to be beautiful ? "
âI thought I was always beautiful to you.â
âyou are but only so when you wear what I tell you to wear.â
you hated it when he was controlling like that but it was impossible for you to resist him which you hated even more. you wanted to please him.
âburn that shit.â he commanded you.
âyouâre joking, right?â
rafe remained silent to let you know that he was serious.
one other day, he gave you a necklace with his initial, and you blinked a lot of times. âIâm not going to wear that.â
"yea, you're gonna wear that. i want people to know what's mine."
"They're going to talk, you know..."
" why? because you're my sister. we're not related. from what i've know, you've only got my cum inside you. not my blood. "
"it's not because everyone knows on the island that you're fucked up that i'mâŠâ
now he was pissed. you had abused his patience. and what you had just said to him had just stung him and hell, he hated that feeling because he wasn't supposed to feel anything for you. you werenât good enough to him to have the upper hand over his emotions.
he walked towards you, and you backed away, slightly frightened. you knew he was in trouble so you were afraid of what he could do to you.
âcome here, sweetheart. Iâm not mad.â
he lied. and you knew it, tears had started to fall down your face.
Usually, Sarah was there when Rafe wanted to go after you but this time she wasn't. you were stuck with him so he had the advantage.
"you know I wouldn't hurt you. I'm incapable of hurting you."
he lied again.
it was all lies. with him.
"liar! you lied! you hurt me everytime."
âyou are the only one who lies. "
oh evil.
"i always took care of you. and you better not forget how kind and patient I've been with you because I'm tired of being the one who has to take everything in this house. sarah, my father and now you? no, it's not going to happen. "
âwhat?â
"last chance, sweetheart. come here.â
you rolled your eyes.
â do that shit one more time and i'm gonna make them roll in a way you're not gonna find it funny. â
â you're not my father, why should i listen to you ? â
you lift your gaze to see a smirk on his face, before he pinned you down the door and lock it behind your back, his weight was heavily pressed on your body. â don't act like you're listening to your daddy, you're far from a good girl. â
â that's not what you said to me earlier in the morningâŠâ
another day it was sarah. you were coming back from a family day where everyone was there except Rafe. you didnât know if he hadnât been invited or if he hadnât wanted to come. but in any case, everyone had been there.
when you got home, you followed sarah to her room. you loved spending time with her so much. Today, you learned to surf, ate ice cream with wheezie, built sandcastles, and met her pogues crew.
you left out the detail where you saw her kiss a certain john b because it made your heart hurt.
you didn't know what sarah found in men. topper and now this john b. but could you blame her when you were doing worse behind her back?
when sarah closed the door, you blocked her against it to kiss her. you forced her mouth to open in frustration, and she kissed you too, possessively. it was like your feelings were speaking through your lips. your tongue was furiously curled against hers, and your mouth violently smacked on her.
â i don't like to see you with him. â
â do i owe you something ? â she simply replied, arms crossed over her chest. â i ask you a question. â
â oh come on, you don't need to be a bitch with me. â
â why ? i feel like it's the only way to interact with you. â
â are you mad at me ? â
â because you're still fucking with my brother ? if you can play, i will play too. â
â fine, i don't care. kiss all the boys you want. but don't forget that the taste you're seeking for is somewhere else. â
â now, you're against me ? rafe really fucked youâ. fine too, stay with that jerk but don't forget who's dick between his and mine making you cum three time raw. â
â god, you're so annoying. â you exploded. â why can't things be simple ? â
â because we want you both and you want us both. â

Bold Moves
Summary: You decide to slip Ari your panties during an innocent encounter at the public library...
Warnings: Mature Themes, Smut, Ari Being A Menace, Brat!Reader, Brief Discussions of Body Image, Bird Being Brave, Going Commando, Light Roleplaying, Frisking, Manhandling, Spanking, Ass Slapping, P in V Sex, Implied Overstimulation, Cursing, Minors DNI
A/N: Decided to finish this when I came across it in my drafts. Takes place earlier in Ari and Bird's romantic relationship. Part of my Sweet Renegade Series. Semi-proofread, not beta'd. All mistakes are my own. Likes, comments, and reblogs are always appreciated. Thanks for reading!
âIâm so glad you pitched me this idea, Marisol.â You beam as you finish writing in your notebook. âI know itâs still early yet, but I would love to collaborate with you for Halloween.â
âYes!â The younger woman cheers, throwing her arms up in the air. âI knew I picked the right woman.â
âJust I knew they picked the right woman to run the town library.â You throw her a wink before tucking your pad and pen back into your purse. âNow, I hate to cut this meeting shortâŠâ Out of habit you press a hand against your belly, silently wishing youâd opted to throw on a pair of spanx this morning instead of a flimsy pair of panties.Â
Frankly, you were tired of sucking it in. But every time you caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror you looked pretty damn good. Perhaps your confidence was growing after all.Â
âBut I need to get home and change so I can run by the shop before it gets too late.â You finish, feeling grateful when the sweet librarian sees fit to lead you out of her office.
âSoooâŠâ The dark-haired woman drags out the word, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper as you both come around the corner. âWord on the street is that youâve been seeing a lot of Detective Levinson lately. Everything good, I hope?â
 âWhat do you mean?â You respond, willing your pulse to remain steady. âEverythingâs fine. He justâŠlikes for me to call him whenever something new pops up about Martin. Thatâs all.â
And whenever you lock up in the evening. And when you make it home. And then again to decide if heâs coming to your place for the night. Or, if youâre already on the back roads heading to his.Â
It was all so fun and exciting. But at the same time, it was just sex. Amazing sex, mind you. But just sex all the same.   Â
Instead of responding immediately, Marisol simply chooses to link her arm through yours. âMm. While I havenât lived here long, Iâve already learned how much this town loves gossip.â She muses. âWhich is why I try to fly under the radar at all times.â
âUh huh.â You give her a gentle nudge. âEven when it comes to a certain Officer Milton?â
âShh! We do no not speak that manâs name in this house!â
âWhy not?â
âBecause I feel like he always goes out of his way to justâŠbe around. Heâs like a puppy. I do not have time for puppies, chica. Iâm too busy building a career amongst the books.â
âWell sugar, I suppose you might wanna tell him that.â
âAy, but that would involve making conversation. Something I also do not have time for becauseââ
âBecause heâs standing over there by the door, talking to our favorite resident detective.â You interrupt with a giggle, prompting the other woman to drop your arm in a flourish before racing off back in the direction of her office before squeaking out âyou never saw meâ - leaving you alone.Â
You allow yourself to stand there for another moment, content with watching the two men talk. While both were easy on the eyes, you were only interested in one of them. Glancing down at your outfit, you once again reassure yourself that youâre looking pretty damned good.Â
And then â just that fast â an idea strikes you.
Refusing to overthink what it was you were about to do, you discreetly make your way into the ladies room. After checking to make sure you were alone, you slip into a stall. Reaching underneath your skirt, you slide your lacy black panties down your thighs before stepping out of them.Â
Biting your lip, you tuck the small scrap of fabric into your pocket. Once youâre finished, you go to leave. But not before stopping long enough to refresh your lip gloss and fluff your curls. And then youâre out the door.
Hopefully youâd be able to catch the handsome bounty hunter before he left.
Thankfully, it doesnât take you long to find him. Heâs right where you saw him last â near the front of the library still talking to Milton. As you near the two, you canât help but wonder if youâll be able to pull this off without making an absolute fool of yourself.Â
But first youâd have to find a way to get rid of Officer Milton without making your intentions obvious. And then it hits you. While it might be wrong, it was officially time to pawn him off on your favorite new friend.
Marisol.
âGood afternoon, Officer Milton.â You chirp as you sidle forward, politely interrupting their conversation. âDetective Levinson.â Of course youâre immediately met with smiles from both men.Â
âWell get a load aâ you.â Milton gives a playful whistle once he gets a good look at your business attire. âLookinâ sharp, darlin. Goinâ somewhere special?â
âActually, I just came from a meeting down at the bank.â You tell them, smoothing your hands along your gray pencil skirt.Â
âAhh.â The officer nods. âFingers crossed all went well.â
âIt did. Thank you.â Delicately clearing your throat, you make a show of glancing around before directing your complete attention to the young officer in front of you. âWhile I hate to interrupt you two when youâre hard at work, I think Marisol might need you.â
âShe does?â The man immediately perks up, vaguely reminding you of your neighborâs golden retriever.Â
âYep.â You wince inwardly, hating yourself for lying. âNot sure what itâs about, but I think sheâs somewhere in the back.âÂ
Just like that, a switch has been flipped and Officer Milton is off on the hunt for a sweet little librarian who most certainly did not need him. Fingers crossed she would catch the hint and just go with it.Â
And now youâre alone with the one man with the power to leave you breathless. You were constantly left tied up in knots around this man. But today it was finally time you turned the tables on this guy.Â
âHowâs the manhunt going, Detective? Any new leads?â
âIâm afraid I canât discuss this part of my investigation with you, Miss.â He says, flashing you a rather charming smile. âBut if you hear from our guy Martin anytime soon, be sure to give me a call.â
âOf course.â You nod, feeling your cheeks heat. âWell, Iâd best be goinâ now.â
âBe safe gettinâ home.âÂ
âSame to you. Detective.â
And then, without sparing him so much as a warning glance, you discreetly remove your panties from their hiding spot and slip them into the back pocket of his jeans. To his credit, Ari doesnât move a muscle. Instead he continues to stare straight ahead, his gaze never wavering. Â
Head held high, you manage to make it all the way to your car before collapsing in a fit of nervous laughter. While you wished you couldâve seen his face, you know deep down that you were better off running off the way you had. Â
Maybe heâd call you tonight and maybe he wouldnât. But all that mattered is that youâd mustered up enough confidence to make some bold moves this afternoon, which by all accounts made you a bad bitch.
Later That Same EveningâŠ
Itâs been hours since you pulled that stunt with Ari, but as luck would have it, you still had yet to hear from him. Not that you were worried or anything. In fact, if you had to choose an emotion, you were more disappointed than anything else.
While youâd long since abandoned your high heels by your front door, you were still wearing the outfit youâd worn to the bank. Youâd simply been too excited to go by the shop so youâd decided to remain closed for the day.
Heaving a sigh as you rise from the couch, youâre in the middle of debating whether or not itâs worth trying to cobble together something for dinner when you hear the sound of your doorbell. Confused, you go to reach for your phone, only to frown when you see thereâs nothing from the one man you wanted to hear from most.
The bell chimes again, prompting you to get a move on. âIâm cominâ, Iâm cominâ!â You mumble, stretching your arms above your head. Opening the door, youâre treated to the sight of a large man standing on your porch with his hands in his pocket, his official badge prominently displayed on his hip.Â
Hello, Detective Ari Levinson.Â
âEvening, Miss. Apologies for bothering you so late.âÂ
âWhy hello, Detective. Somethinâ I can help you with?â You do your best to keep your tone light while you wait for him to explain himself.
âSure hope so. Got a report about someone engaging in some inappropriate behavior.â He informs you, barely concealing his smirk as he leans his big body against the porch railing.
âIs that right?â
âFraid so.â He nods solemnly. âIn fact, I actually found a trail of evidence that led me right here to your front door.â
âIâŠwell, there has to be some mistake.â You protest, your hand flying to your chest.Â
âHuh.â Ari sucks on his teeth as he reaches into his pocket to retrieve a small scrap of lacy black fabric. âThen you wouldnât happen to know who these belong to, would you?â
Your eyes go wide at the sight of your panties dangling from one thick index finger.Â
âIâm not sure what youâre implying, but theyâre certainly not mine.â You sniff haughtily. âIâve never seen those before in my life.â
âNow, Miss.â He gently chastises, taking another step towards you, invading your space. âPerhaps I should warn you that itâs a crime to lie to a member of law enforcement.â Instead of responding you simply fold your arms across your heaving bosom.Â
The nerve of this man, thinking he had the right to question you like this right out in the open. Honestly, what would your neighbors think? The scandal!
âYou know what? Iâm thinkinâ Iâm gonna need to search the premises.â The bounty hunter moves to enter your home, only to growl when your hand stops him short. âItâs also a felony to impede an official investigation.â Ari grunts, his brow furrowing in annoyance.
âAnd I'm thinkinâ I'm gonna need to see a warrant first, Detective.â
Your breath catches in your throat as you watch his eyes darken - his nostrils flaring ever so slightly.Â
âIâm sure a good girl like you ainât got nothinâ to hide.â Ari rasps, leaning in so that his mouth now hovers a mere inch above your ear. âUnlessâŠâ
âUnless what?â You respond, sounding a little more breathless than youâd like.
âUnless thereâs something in there you donât want me to find?â
âI donât have anything to hide.â Blowing out a breath you decide to give the man what he wants, if only to see what comes next
âNot sure I believe you, sweetheart.â
âFine.â You concede. âI suppose it wouldnât hurt to let you come in for a quick look. But youâve gotta be fast.â You tell him, poking him in the shoulder before turning to lead him into your home. âBecause Iâm expecting company any minute and we donât need an audience.â
âWeâll see.â
Your pulse kicks up when you hear Ari shut the door behind you, followed by the quiet snick of the lock. Guess that meant he thought he was staying awhile. Just as you open your mouth to protest, youâre caught off guard when he brushes by you, allowing you to catch a hint of his cologne.Â
âIâm not sure what youâre on, Detective.â You say, shooting him your fiercest glare. Meanwhile, this man responds with his most lethal grin. âBut Iâm giving you five minutes to figure it out before IââÂ
âYou know, Miss, I didnât wanna ask you this outside. Especially given the already delicate nature of this investigation. But do you happen to be wearing any panties?â
âExcuse me?!â His question has your mouth falling open, your cheeks burning hot with outrage.
âAnswer the question.â His eyes track your every movement as you slowly back away in the direction of the stairs. âBecause every good girl I know puts on a pair of panties before leaving the house for the day.â
âGoodnight, Detective Levinson.â You hiss before turning and taking the stairs two by two. âPlease see yourself out before Iâm forced to call your supervisor.â
Your words are met with silence. And itâs not until you reach the edge of your bedroom that you hear him moving â up the same stairs youâd just scaled only seconds before. You can hardly suppress a shiver as the heady thrum of anticipation courses through you.Â
âI hate to break it to you, sweetheart.â Ari growls softly as his impressive form fills your doorway, effectively blocking your only exit. âBut Iâm not through with my investigation.â Itâs a struggle to ignore just how good he looks taking up space in your bedroom like this.Â
âI want you to leave.â
âOh, I will. As soon as Iâm finished.â He takes a step towards you, rolling up his sleeves as he does. âBut first, Iâm gonna need you to turn and place your hands on the wall.â
âIâI will do no such thing!â Comes your almost breathless reply. âIâm not a criminal.â
âHm.â Ari cocks his head, his magnetic blue eyes leering at your much smaller, curvier frame. âBut you are a suspect.â In less than a fraction of a second, this man is now standing in front of you. âAnd it would be rather reckless of me if I didnât pat you down.â One large hand curls itself around your bicep before gently leading to a nearby wall. âYou should know that Iâm a bit of a stickler when it comes to following protocol.âÂ
Blood roaring in your ears, you place both of your hands on the cool surface. Taking a deep breath, you canât help but jump when he kicks your feet apart, forcing you to spread your legs even wider, granting him better access.
âIâm gonna report you.â Unfortunately for you, your flimsy threat does nothing to deter him.
Your eyes fall shut when you feel two large, warm hands glide their way up and down your arms. It feels as tempting as it does comforting. He repeats the action twice more, almost as if heâs trying to lull you into a false sense of security.Â
Next, those wandering hands are stroking along your sides, greedily following the path of your curves. And then you feel him bury his nose in the crook of your neck. Itâs impossible to miss his soft groan as he inhales your sweet scent.
âNow Iâve gotta ask you, little Bird.â He hums, his sharp teeth nipping at your ear. âDo you have anything on you that could stab, stick, or poke me?âÂ
âN-no.âÂ
God, you were so fucking wet right now itâs embarrassing. And you canât stop the moan that catches in your throat when his sensual ministrations move to your breasts â cupping, massaging, and kneading. He lewdly palms them through your blouse, this thumps paying extra attention to your hardened nipples. Your back arches of its own accord as he continues to play with your body.
And thereâs a part of you that hates yourself for the way he makes you respond. Â
âHm. So far so good, baby. Proud of you for keeping your hands where I can see âem.â Now his hands are skimming down your hips to toy with the hem of your skirt. His warm breath dances along your sensitive skin, making you shiver. âBut now itâs time for the big question.â Ari begins inching your skirt higher and higher. âAnd donât you dare lie to me. Are youââ
âThis ainât right, Detective!â You protest, protectively clenching your thighs together. However, your words only make him chuckle. âPretty sure this is an illegal search and seizure.â
âAs a member of law enforcement, I would have to respectfully disagree with you.â He says at the same time as he grinds himself against you, his massive erection pressing into your lower back. âItâs my job to keep the community safe. And to deal with naughty girls who go around handing out their unmentionables to strangers.â Your skirt inches even higher now, stopping just short of revealing your dripping cunt.Â
âAnd what do you know?â He purrs, holding you still as his hand dips between your thighs, cupping your most intimate flesh. âLooks like weâve got a little liar on our hands. Donât we?â
âDonât. We.â The renewed authority in his tone makes your pussy quiver.
âYes, Sir.â
âAnd how should we handle liars, sweetheart? Hm?â Your knees go weak when you feel two thick fingers spear their way through your messy folds, lightly strumming over your clit. âWhat should we do with you?â
â....IâŠdonât knowâŠ.â
His deep chuckle has you squirming in his hold, your hips bucking as he continues to grind the heel of his palm against your sensitive nub. Â
âTell you what. You and I are about to have a serious conversation about what happens to pretty young ladies who canât seem to tell the truth. Even when itâs in their best interest. What do ya say?â
âYâyes, Sir.â You moan as your eyes threaten to roll back in your head, sparks of pleasure dancing behind your eyes. âWhatever you want â Iâll be so, sooo good!â
Thirty Minutes LaterâŠ
âWhy the fuck you keep runninâ, baby?â Ari growls, smacking your bottom hard. âYeah, get that juicy ass back here. Love watchinâ those cheeks bounce.â
The rhythmic sound of flesh slapping against flesh fills the room, spilling out into the hall as Ari drives into you over and over again with his impressive cock.Â
Heâd been hard for hours before he ever showed up on your doorstep. Frankly, heâd lost count of how many times heâd paused throughout the day to bring your panties to his nose. It was like he couldnât seem to get enough of how good you smelled. But he also knew that wouldnât be enough.
He needed to taste you. Needed your unique, earthy flavor on his tongue.Â
Thankfully, he had no doubt that heâd have time to eat the fuck out of your sweet pussy later. After he was finished fucking you into oblivion for being such bad girl. Who wouldâve guessed his little Bird had it in her to be so deliciously naughty?
Meanwhile, youâre too busy sobbing into a pillow to be proud of yourself right now, your hands fisting the sheets while your man exacts his revenge on your body. At this rate, youâd already cum twice. And here you were already roaring along to orgasm number three.Â
Fuck, this man was a goddamned menace!
Your desperate cries grow louder as Ari picks up his pace, forcing you to clench around him as you finally resort to begging.
âPlease, Ari!â You wail when he lifts your hips higher before adjusting the angle of his strokes. âIâooh GodâMâso close!â
âOh yeah?â He snarls, the sound rumbling from somewhere deep in his chest. âThen let me see you work for it.â A sharp hiss escapes when his heavy palm comes down on your ass again, this time smacking both cheeks without so much as missing a beat. âThis is how bad girls get punished.â You tense when he delivers yet another blow. âTheyâve gotta work for their pleasure.â
âIâm sorryâwooh God!â Your voice comes out raw, bordering on hoarse.      Â
âThatâs it, baby. Yeah, there we go.â He gifts you with another slap, earning a sharp yelp from you. âYeah, throw it back like you love it.â
After an afternoon of being bad, thereâs nothing you want more than to be good for this man. You wanted to please him. Make him happy. If only so he never stopped touching you. And you were trying â honest to God, you were.
But it was all too good. Too much.Â
âJust know, everytime you run, Iâm gonna drag that sweet ass right back.â Ari renews his punishing grip on your hips, holding you up even as your sweat slicked body starts to give out. âNow cum for me one more time so I can finally stop takinâ it easy on you, pretty Bird.â

ⶠ. áá . laundry machines â sam winchester
cw : gn!reader, fluff, poor editing, inexperienced!reader(dating-wise) so sort of shy!reader too, mentions of madison & resulting guilt, implied later seasons sam, kissing, 1.7K words. requested !
summary : you're new to being in a relationship, but sam finds it endearing and is happy to take things slow.
some days are smooth and seamless and like an actual dream come true. others are clumsy, awkward, and make you shy away from being perceived at all. itâs just that this is all quite new to you, and youâre very unsure how to navigate being in a relationship, especially with someone so handsome and lovely. no oneâs told you whatâs allowed and what isnât, how you should be acting, what an appropriate response is to the sweet things he does to you.
this all makes you easily flustered, often embarrassed, and yes, youâll admit it, a bit shy at times. heâs just so tall and steady and you know heâs done this all before, even if the last time he was in a long term relationship was nearly a decade ago. and youâre not even that far from him in regards to age, but youâre somehow so much more lost than he is. itâs nice, because heâs more than willing to take the lead on things, to guide you through it. but sometimes that reminds you of your inexperience, and it sort of makes you wish that you could be a bit better for sam. it almost makes you feel like youâre forcing him to do all the work.
alternatively, samâs own narrative regarding your inexperience is one of deep fondness, and even a bit of relief. he himself can be awkward and shy, even now and after all heâs been through, but with you, he gets to be the one whoâs sure on his feet and smooth and a little easy. secretly, heâs still remembering and figuring out how to do this all. but the little things come to him comfortably enough that, to you, he seems entirely confident and effortless.
âsam?â you call to him from your bedroom. heâs sitting in the living room of your little apartment, content with a cup of tea youâve made for him. âis it alright if i wash your jacket with my things, too?âÂ
âof course,â he calls back, his voice at its normal level of sweet and kind. you donât see the huge, endeared grin on his face. heâs not sure why it wouldnât be alright to wash his jacket with your things. itâs certainly the most logical thing to do, and itâs not as if heâd mind one bit. actually, he likes the idea of his clothes with yours, spinning around and getting tangled together in the washing machine. itâs domestic, soft, and intimate in a simple way. maybe thatâs why you asked, he wonders; intimacy makes you a bit timid at times.Â
with that, his jacket is placed inside your laundry basket. itâs dirty from a hunt. sam wanted to stop by your apartment first thing when it was over by mid morning and he wasnât too far away. he thinks he flustered you, though, because he forgot to text beforehand. but, you also looked very happy to see him, so heâs sure itâs okay. you had melted right into his kiss, though your hands remained chastely resting on his elbows as he sweetly cupped your face.Â
now, youâre walking out of the bedroom with your laundry, met with a fond look from sam on the couch.Â
âiâll be right back. i just need to get this done by tonight,â you explain as you head to the door to head down to the washing machine in the buildingâs basement.
âiâll come with you,â sam says, standing, still wearing his pretty smile. he imagines heâll have to leave in a few hours, and heâd like to spend every moment until then with you if youâll let him.
âthereâs no need, iâll only be gone a minute,â you say, only because you donât want to make him get up and walk down, then back up all those stairs.
his long legs take him to the door in less than a few seconds anyway. âi want to,â he says simply, and you feel silly that it sends your heart pumping extra hard.
âif you insist,â you smile, taking it in stride. sam notices and resists the urge to just sweep you up in his arms and kiss you for a long while. he hasnât kissed you again since he arrived, but he doesnât think youâd have as much ease dealing with that without being greatly flustered. heâd probably like to see that, but heâs not a cruel man. youâd argue that heâs the gentlest of them all. he follows you down the stairs because you refuse to let him carry the laundry basket. heâs already silently promising heâll carry it upstairs once itâs all washed and dried. heâll help you fold it too, if youâll let him. heâs not sure if youâll be alright with him catching a glimpse or two at your underwear.Â
that makes him think about the time he was about twenty three and madison not-so-subtly showed off her panties to him while folding her laundry on the first day theyâd met. sheâs a sad memory. a guilty one, too. but he has you in front of him, softly chattering about what you did this morning, and he lets her be a nice memory for today. you give him plenty of nice memories, and he thinks about how he likes the way the two of you take things slow.
you donât seem to think about the fact that sam can see what youâre putting in the washing machine, and he finds it cute, for no particular reason. he finds it cute when youâre nervous about something you neednât be or when you arenât about something he predicted you might. maybe he just finds everything about you cute.
he leans against the drying machine and watches happily as you put the washer to the right settings and start the cycle.Â
âso,â you say, turning your head to look at him, âdo you haveââ youâre cut off by the loud rush of water in the machine as it begins soaking your clothesâand his jacketâand you shake your head because you momentarily forgot just how loud it is. itâs the loudest washing machine youâve ever used, you told him once. he himself is almost startled by it; you really werenât kidding. he gives a little laugh and you canât help but laugh a bit too. neither of you have to say anything to agree to go back upstairs.
he holds the basement door open for you and one of his big hands that youâre secretly so fond of hovers by the small of your back as you pass him and start up the stairs. only you think itâs a secret. he can tell how much you like to hold hands and fiddle with his fingers. you stare sometimes, too, but heâd never tell you that for fear of rendering you too flustered to function properly for the rest of the night.
âyou were saying?â he says, encouraging you to continue now that he can actually hear you.
you canât tell if itâs a blessing or not that heâs asked you to keep going while walking up the stairs. you sort of wanted to be watching his face when you asked, but youâre also thinking you might be grateful that you wonât in case it helps you feel less nervous. heâs just so handsome and sincere and lovely that it makes you nervous. you donât know how to be casual around him. everything just feels so special and new and nerve-wracking.
âi was just wondering if you had another case lined up for tomorrow,â you tell him, hoping that youâre succeeding in sounding laid-back like you wish you could be. once again, he thinks itâs sweet you donât always know how to act around him. âor, you know, anything like that,â you add on. you donât want to ask without knowing if he has somewhere to be in the morning.
sam feels a spark of hope and a little bit of youthful giddiness that he hadnât felt in a long, long time before you. âi donât,â he says simply, âi donât have anything tomorrow.â
you chew lightly on the inside of your cheek, considering your options. thereâs still another flight and a half of stairs until you get to your floor and youâre thinking, despite how nervous it makes you, you really would like to be facing him as you ask. itâd be obvious and awkward if you wait until youâre back in your apartment, right? but itâs silly to ask in a stairwell, you think.
then you realize you're probably overthinking it. maybe neither of those things are true. maybe it doesnât matter at all how you ask, so long as you do it. you know heâll say yes, you know heâll like the idea of it, and youâre pretty sure heâll like the fact that youâre the one to bring it up first. and youâre pretty confident that you love him and that he really, truly cares about you too. that gives you a burst of confidence.
you turn around, right on the steps with your hands fidgeting with the hem of your shirt and a little, likely nervous looking smile on your lips. âdo you want to sleep over tonight?â you ask, somehow able to make yourself sound more sure of things than you feel.
his lips curl into a happy, almost proud smile. itâs very obvious how much he adores you. all you have to do is look at him and see the way his adoration pools in his eyes and his dimples and shows in the lightness of his eyebrows and the showing of his front teeth. his hands that you love so much drift up to hold your waist, moving slowly so you can anticipate it. the touch still makes you draw in a steadying breath.
âi would love to. are you sure thatâs alright with you?â he says. heâs trying to sound casual too, but it comes out more reverent than anything else.Â
your smile isnât so nervous now. âmhmm,â you hum. âiâm sure.â this time, you really are sure. though, you still have to grip his shoulders for support when he kisses you, right in the stairway like heâd probably kiss you anywhere.

Bones and All
pairing : Dragon!Sylus x fem!Reader
cw: smut, monsterfucking, predator-prey, blood, double P in V, being restrained with his tail, reader has tits and a vagina, sylus wants to eat you :3
Sylus is obsessed with how soft you are.
Heâs enthralled by the curve of your hips, the way you yield beneath his claws that leaves hollow indents behind on your flesh with every squeeze. Youâre his favorite possession, his greatest indulgence to hoard.
The reminder strikes him as he watches you lounging atop the velvet settee, oblivious and serene, against a backdrop of gold and glittering that gleam in the dim light of the cave. His reptilian gaze lingers, drinking in the way your body bends and twists, the natural grace of you as you stretch when you think no one is watching. The lazy roll of your spine, the shifting of your thighs, it all leaves his claws twitching with the need to claim you. He pictures your body beneath him, all pliant and willing, as he maps each curve. He imagines mouthing at your jaw, his lips grazing down your neck to drink in the scent of you.
Youâre always so sweet. So soft. So warm.
So fresh.
The thought teeters on the edge of something darker. A place where the line between desire and hunger blurs into a bloody haze as he grapples with his conflicting feelings. As he finds himself unable to discern between his mate and his feed for the night.Â
Your head snaps to the side when you hear the sudden shifting of gold, the sliding of coins that lay scattered across the ground against one another, as they do when pushed by something heavy.Â
âSylus?â Your voice is higher than you intended, raw with unease.Â
Thereâs no response. His name echoes back at you, hollow and mocking before the sound suddenly stops. You turn sharply, pulse roaring in your ears, only to meet with nothing.
It doesnât feel right. Every instinct screams at you to run, but your legs feel like they're in quicksand; lethargic, heavy, unable to move. It feels like youâre sinking into the gold beneath you shifting right below your feet. Your breaths come shallow, rapid, each one colder than the last as you look around for the source of your panic. That is, until your gaze lands on two scarlet eyes, wide and predatory, gazing right at you from the shadows before it disappears once more.Â
Heâs stalking you.
Coins spill and clatter, tumbling in a slow cascade down mountainous piles on either side of the caveâs walls. You spin again, your movements frantic, and itâs as if the shadows are alive - seeping into every crevice, pooling at the edges of your vision.
You feel him circling you. You swear you can when a brush of heat grazes against your arm, making you jolt upright. Your head jerking to the side to catch a glimpse of him, but once more, youâre met with nothing but the ghost of a touch and the roaring of your blood in your ears.
âS-Sylus?â you whisper this time, a breathless sound barely audible, and in that moment you donât know if youâre calling for him to reveal himself or begging him to stay hidden.
A growl rolls out of the dark, low and resonant, reverberating through the cave and into your very bones. And in that moment, every part of you screams prey. The frantic thrum of your pulse, the quivers of your body, the way your breath comes shallow and quick betraying the fear you canât possibly hide.
Itâs intoxicating to him.
The world blurs as something crashes into you, an overwhelming force that knocks the breath from your lungs. The gold shifts violently beneath you as youâre thrown back, coins scattering and clattering in a deafening storm. Your body hits the ground hard, sharp edges biting into your skin. You gasp, chest heaving as panic flows through your every vein.Â
Before you can even process it, heâs on you.
Sylus looms above you, all dark scales and burning lust, his massive form blocking out the light with a presence that eclipses everything else. A claw makes its way to your face, tilting it upwards and baring your neck to him as the other holds you down by the shoulder, pinning you down easily. You twist and squirm trying to break free, but itâs futile as his scorpion-like tail wraps around your middle, sinuous and heavy, and locks you in place.
His chest heaves, his breath hot and heavy against your skin as he lowers his face to yours. His eyes are blown wide, the red of his irises swallowed by darkness, fixed on you with a singular, unrelenting focus. Heâs panting, his jaw unhinging just enough for his fangs to glint in the dim light as the slick heat of drool drips onto your skin.
Youâre so small beneath him, fragile in ways that ignite something primal within his system. His jaws part as he leans closer, the sharp points of his fangs grazing your neck, teasing the delicate skin stretched thin over the artery thrumming wildly beneath. The sound of your racing heartbeat filling his ears and stirring up a hunger so deep it makes his chest ache.
The conflict burns in him, a raging fire that twists his hunger into something far more dangerous, a carnal need to consume you. Your soul. Your flesh. Your very bones. His tail curls tighter around your middle, possessive and unyielding, locking you in place like a predator fearing his prize might escape. Youâre so soft, so flush with life, and it would be so easy to take that all away. To have you fill his mouth another way. To hear your cries warp into screams and see your wide eyes filled with terror.
His hips shift, pressing his arousal against you, the ridges of his twin cocks sliding along your trembling core. The slick heat of his pre smears against your skin, marking you in ways that send a shiver through him as his claws flex again, almost breaking skin this time.
Itâs like your every nerve is alight; sparks flurrying throughout your body in flashes of electricity as you feel the weight of him pressing against you. Your cunt tightens as he moves closer, as he prods against your entrance, stretching you out with just the tip of him as your walls flutter around him and you grow lightheaded with fear, or is it anticipation?
Could this heady feeling a mix of both?
âYouâre afraid.â He growls low, satisfied with the way you gasp and arch beneath him as if your body is betraying you.
The sound of his voice curls in your ear, cutting through the fuzz as his teeth sink into the tender flesh of your neck. Sharp points puncture the delicate skin, wrenching a cry from your lips as ruby beads spill and trickle down your throat in a warm, sticky stream. You tremble, caught in a storm of sensation- each spark, each bite of pain, tangled with a pleasure you canât understand. One that thickens as he shifts his weight, as his hips roll against you with deliberate pressure and the burn of him stretching you open wrenches a choked cry from your lips. He shudders at the sound, growl deepening as his hunger sharpens and it takes everything in him not to give in, to tear you apart and savour the feel of your flesh between his teeth, your blood , metallic and warm in his mouth.
Soft, so soft, and so sweet.
Will she feel this warm when sheâs no longer moving?Â
As he sinks into your heat, stretching deliciously around both cocks despite the fear in your eyes and the tremors wracking through your body⊠as he feels the slick coating your inner thighs and your clit pulsing below the tip of his tail, he realizes the truth of it.Â
This hunger of his will never go away, will always linger just beneath the surface where it threatens to break and envelop him completely. But this unbearable need to make you his over and over again, is stronger.
Though itâs too much, too overwhelming - your body still clings to him, greedily taking more as though you were made for this, for him. Itâs a feeling that coils around you, binding and inescapable. Like a tail wrapped around your middle, tethering you together while he feasts on you.
The pull of something neither of you can suppress.

make up sex
porter runs. he always runs, but he never comes back. what will happen now that he finally has?
cw: nsfw! smut with plot read the title lol, mentions of a previous argument, some hostile dialogue
authors note: was interesting writing gender neutral smut for the first time but itâs literally not hard so anyone who tells you it is is either selfish, lazy, or uncreative.
word count: 3.6k (also the exact length of my only other redacted fic okay)
steam billowed all around the bathroom, penetrating every surface with moisture and sticking to the large rectangular mirror. treasure began undressing themself with lumbering movements, constantly tipping over left and right. after trying to take their slippers off while standing up, they again became unsteady and caught themself on the sink basin. they chuffed. when was the last time they drank like this? every time they went to a bar, they had their friends to look after. nothingâs quite as lame as being the designated driver, they thought. to them, that was another indication of their plainness; they werenât fun enough to party with. instead, they were left to scroll on their phone while sitting on a barstool, catching themself gazing wistfully up at the chalkboard drink menu. but tonight they had indulged. not at a bar, but alone on their armchair, sipping wine and watching their ceiling go in and out of focus. they knew theyâd had enough when they watched the ceiling slowly bend, rise, and fall as if there were a pair of lungs under the plaster.
once they were fully bare, they carefully stepped under the scalding water. they flinched and then froze, willing themself to not back away. they werenât the one to run. they wouldnât run.
they closed their eyes and let the burning water hit their front. they could already feel their chest turning a darker, uglier color. but they wouldnât step back. they wouldnât turn the temperature down. it felt good, the heat. images of him flashed through their mind, causing their brow to furrow in helpless frustration. his hands, his fingertips, his breath, it was all so hot. they had never felt so much heat before him. now though, they had been left cold for days. just like the outings with their âfriends.â after he slammed the door and ran, they were back on a lonely barstool. cold. freezing. theyâd never felt so much ice before him, either.
a figure hovered in front of the bathroom door. the smell of hair conditioner wafted to the creatureâs senses, his red irises eclipsed by black need. the smell called to him, screamed his name. but he shouldnât even be there in the first place. the instinct, the guilt, the aromaâwhat was the matter with him? heâd fed on some poor soul minutes ago and still couldnât focus? he wrapped his hand around the doorknob and squeezed. they werenât singing like they usually do. was that his fault? he closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against the door, focusing harder. a foul, shocking odor struck him. alcohol in their blood? was that his fault?
treasure heard the door creak open and yelped. before they could peek around the curtainâŠ. âitâs me, darling. are you drunk?â they stayed silent and felt their fear morph into a melancholic frustration. any other well adjusted member of society would be full of terror and adrenaline if someone suddenly appeared in their home, but porter ripped away that sense of normalcy long ago. the mere sound of his voice caused an irritation, never mind him calling them âdarlingâ again. they rolled their eyes.
âwhat on earth are you doing here?! i thought youâd at least have the sense to throw away the key,â they spat coldly. porterâs shoulders shrank a little and he looked down at the tile. usually he would remark that he didnât need a key anyway, but that attitude was exactly what had earned him this mess. his voice was low and small.
âyou want rid of me that much?â
the rushing water dampened his sound a bit, but treasure could easily tell he was being wary and... something else. they pulled the curtain back just enough to reveal their head and took in the sight of him. a black blazer with a scarf, as usual, except his slacks were wrinkled. and his hair wasnât even gelled. odd. they leaned against the shower wall as to not lose their footing and played off their disorientation by scoffing at him, ignoring his question. âdid your king take away your wares too? you look shitty.â porter didnât laugh, and he certainly didnât miss the indignation behind the word âking.â he approached and loomed over them, masking his annoyance.
âplease, enough about him. youâre drunk.â
they scoffed again and went back to their shower routine, rinsing the rest of their hair. they didnât close the curtain though. porter took the subtle invitation and leaned against the drywall, watching them through the gap in the curtain. he widened it a bit with his hand and started again. âi can fix that for you. give me your hand and youâll be sober.â porter never knew them as one to indulge so heavily. he didnât want to push as to why they had drank because he had a feeling it would only make them blow up at him, but he couldnât deny there was a part of him that wanted to prod. the way they prodded him. but not this time.
treasure mulled over his words and extended their hand without looking back at him. they of all people knew how senseless drunk conversations can be. porter gently took their hand and tried not to linger on how whole it made him feel. using magic, he traced the excess amounts of alcohol in their bloodstream and dissipated it. he stood watchfully, trying not to overstep but wanting desperately to keep hold of them during the jarring sobering. they wobbled on their feet with their eyes closed for a moment before opening and snapping their gaze back at him. there was the alertness they were lacking. âclearer?â he asked, to which they gave him a curt nod.
now that they were in their right mind, they scanned over his form once more: he wasn't a drunken illusion. an awkward silence fell over the pair. treasure's eyes flitted back and forth between porter and the shower wall. when porter didn't take the hint, they eventually spoke up. âget in if you want. you just look stupid standing there,â they mumbled, yanking the curtain shut.
porterâs clothes instantly phased away as he yielded to the insult and stepped into the enclosed space. he stayed opposite of treasure and kept his back pressed against the wet tile, his arms wrapped around his middle. treasure threw him a look over their shoulder, snickering dryly. âyou only have good manners after we fight?â the vampire let out an amused huff from his nostrils and hung his head.
âit seems it always takes something drastic to make me learn, yes.â
treasure turned around fully and reached for their body scrub, looking up at him as they bent down. their gaze was steely but their lips were tempting. âwell i havenât heard a âsorry,â so do i have to beat one out of you?â they joked humorlessly.
those words caused the flame of guilt to lick at porterâs skin once more. âbeat one out of himââwere they being sarcastic at their own expense? the inhuman strength in every muscle fiber in his body told him yes. god, he used that against them in their argument. he talked down to them, using âhumanâ as an insult, shoving in their face how much power he held over them. he didnât start the fight, but he didnât have to finish it like that. heâd never harm them, but he gave them such a strong implication that he could and made them feel bad about it. he called them stupid for even being with him, made himself out to be a monster they needed to run from. but they both knew porter was the one who was running. even so, in all of porterâs long existence, treasure was the first thing heâd ever ran back to. he could lose everything, but not them.
porter took a small step forward with his head still hanging and motioned for the container of body scrub. treasure gave him a puzzled look. the vampire sighed and took another step, gently taking the container from their hand and setting it down. âtreasure, iâŠ.â he considered their choice of words again. he finally raised his head and looked into their eyes. âyou canâyou can do anything you want to me. iâm very sorry for what i said, but⊠whatever satisfies you. whatever gives you power.â
the vampire in front of treasure was not one they easily recognized. his eyes were nearly-black orbs and shone with desperate longing. porter solaire was a slighting creature, who was this? it was porter, just porter. treasure gave him a slow nod. âmake it up to me.â
the vampireâs eyes lit up and he swiftly made his move. his lips attached to treasureâs neck, fangs firmly retracted. this wasnât about him, nothing tonight was about him. his hands slid up the wet slopes of their hips and waist. a trapped moan escaped him when he felt them like that. he was touching god and it was burning, but he loved it. his kisses trailed across their neck and up their chin, aiming for their perfect lips. but when he tried to reach them, a resounding smack echoed in their steamy enclosure. porter blinked and his head was whipped around to the right, a red hot sting on his cheek. treasureâs hand returned to grip his jaw and pointed his head forward at them.
âi didnât give you permission to kiss me. you think you deserve my lips?â porter couldâve cum right there. he shook his head.
âno, no i donât. can i earn it?â his voice was like nothing they had heard before.
âyou can. do what i said and make it up to me. you know what i like.â
porter nodded once more before sinking to his knees, his hands slipping down their body reverently. he groaned at the smell of their arousal, his eyes rolling back and then locking back onto theirs. he briefly recalled the night they first met. if only he had known how mad he would go for the taste of what was in front of him.
the vampire pressed light kisses around their groin with his eyes remaining trained on theirs. just how they like it. âi'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm so sorry,â he repeated in between kisses. treasure's hand came down to muss up his hair and his erection twitched. they nodded at him with a pleased grin and gave him a tug as a reward. his precum dribbled onto the grout.
shortly, porter's efforts made it so treasure leaked more of their own arousal; that was porterâs cue. he licked a long stripe upward, collecting their slick on his flattened tongue and letting out a whine at their salty taste. he quickly dove in for more, moaning louder than treasure. his hands were planted firmly in his lap, not touching himself or the beauty before him; he knew he wasnât deserving of doing either. treasure smiled and leaned their head back, their hips bucking in a smooth rhythm against his mouth. porter could cry at their movementâthe gorgeous fluidity and the signal that he was giving it to them right.
nothing ever felt as right as when he was giving them pleasure. he couldnât count how many nights he would spend god knows where, making god knows who disappear; it wasnât in his nature to bring anything but pain. he was a sinner through and through, but that first night with treasure at skyside, he thinks, he began repenting. he found religion in every breath they took, every twitch of ecstasy he fed them. he felt holy at their feet.
âporter, iâm so close,â they gasped, causing the vampireâs dead heart to pound. he nodded emphatically, shaking his head side to side just to give them that extra stimulation. his desperate moans also sent vibrations to their sensitive flesh, setting their nerves alight. their grip on his hair was lethal and porterâs arousal was reaching a tipping point. he no longer had control over himself; treasure was pushing and pulling and holding his face flush against them until any normal human wouldâve suffocated. porterâs mind was going hazy as if he was, his true feelings emerging from thoughtless bliss.
âi could die,â he panted as he gazed up at them, âlet me die like this.â they climaxed only a second later.
ambrosia seeped onto porterâs tongue and he drank piously, catching every drop. treasureâs wanton whimpers and breaths filled the vampireâs ears and he couldnât have been happier. he knew this is where he belonged, and he wouldnât ever forgive himself for nearly forsaking it.
treasure finally let go of porterâs hair and he whined at the loss. they chuckled breathlessly and patted their chest, signaling that they wanted to be eye to eye. the vampire quickly stood, hissing quietly when his painful erection brushed up against their stomach. he swallowed at the closeup view of their blissed-out face; their eyes were in a lazy, seductive droop, but their grin was what ensnared him. he hadnât seen one in days and now heâd earned one back, no matter the sadistic undertones behind it. they reached a hand out and cupped his cheek, smiling wider when his eyelids fluttered at the touch. porter didnât notice their hand sneaking down to grip his base and his eyes shot open once he felt it.
âiâm assuming you want this taken care of?â they teased, tapping his cock against their stomach. he groaned pathetically, putting his hands on the wall behind them. he gripped at nothing, fingers clenching and unclenching around nothing and trying not to crack the tile. hovering over treasure was a beast of incomprehensible strength, holding himself back for one reason: forgiveness.
âtreasure⊠iâm begging you.â
their wolfish grin slowly faded as they leaned in closer, squeezing his cock harshly. âand youâll keep begging until i forgive you.â with that, they released him and shut off the water, promptly snatching their towel and stepping onto the floor mat without him. they left the bathroom before he could even process what they said.
the vampire blinked and hurried after them, bare and dripping wet. treasure was already laying on their back in bed, equally naked and damp. their towel was beneath them and they gazed at him expectantly. porterâs eyes widened as he realized what they wanted. he could hardly believe it. with vampiric speed, he was on his knees over them in a split second. their legs were spread and knees bent up, the sight making him look away and curse. god, he couldnât take it. but treasure wasnât having that. a smack to the thigh and his eyes were snapped open.
âyouâll look at me when you fuck me, or iâll make you stop. donât even fucking blink,â they threatened lowly. porter moaned but nodded, leaning down to be closer to them. without breaking eye contact, he spat on his fingers and rubbed it on their entrance, hoping to please them again. they sighed airily and reached down for his cock, unexpectedly prodding themself with it. porter gasped and almost lost his balance, catching himself on the pillow next to their head. they snickered and rolled their eyes, easing his length inside of them. it was still faster than porter ever started off, and he showed his unpreparedness by cursing and gripping their sheets. they swiftly got him fully seated and let them both settle into it, their gummy walls hugging porterâs cock snugly. he looked as if he was containing a scream.
ât-treasure youâgods, you couldâve hurt yourself doing that,â he heaved, his chest rising and falling as he tried not to cum. in response, they dug their nails into the small of his back and raked down to his ass, watching his head roll back and his mouth gape. always a sucker for pain, scratches were his favorite kryptonite. treasure had an unreadable look and gave the command he had been yearning for.
âiâm fine, just fuck me. donât you dare go slow.â
porter was mildly concerned by their order, but he had to give them what they wanted. he would rather die than not. his hips pulled back until just his tip was inside before coming back down, thrusting smoothly into them. the sinful sound of his hips smacking into the back of their thighs drove them both wild. treasureâs nails only sank deeper into his skin, causing porterâs own wobbly grin to emerge. he fucked them faster, egged on by the delicious sting. he lowered himself more so their bodies were flush. their nipples rubbed against his chest and he panted in their ear, âlike this, my love? tell me, please tell me iâm giving you what you want. fuckâŠ.â
in their own rapture, they nodded and turned their head to smile back at him. their words were mere breathy puffs of air. âuh-huh⊠yes, god yes. donât stop âtil i cum.â as if porter wouldâve done otherwise.
treasure was making such a mess of themself it was audible. the vampire looked down and saw the telltale shiny slick, whining in their ear at the sight. they were so turned on for him. he put his weight on his left forearm which rested above their head and used his free hand to snake down their stomach, reaching their leaking essence. he put the pad of his thumb on their most sensitive spot and stroked up and down, up and down, earning strangled, surprised moans. his eyes bore into theirs as he continued his ministrations while fucking them, his expression one of a dog that just performed a trick for its owner: hopeful, eager, and aching for approval. âfuck, thatâs how you like itâŠ. iâll make you cum, iâll make you cum so fucking hard, treasure.â
the vampire was reaching speeds only his kind are able to, making treasureâs thighs ripple in ways they hadnât felt before. porter never had a reason to fuck them this good before, and now that he was, they didnât think they could ever go back. their body was bouncing as they lay down, mouth agape with licentious sounds pouring out. they hated that their hostility had crumbled under his hips, but they knew theyâd have hated themself more if they pushed him away. right then, they just wanted to cum on his cock.
the bed frame squeaked and slid against the floor, banging against the wall. porterâs tempo was perfect, so fucking good against that sweet spongy spot inside them, his tip kissing it over and over. he didnât know how he was holding it together. âiâm getting close, treasure. fuck, you have to cum, you have to,â he choked out in a frenzy. his thumb rubbed and stroked them faster, his hips losing rhythm but gaining speed. somehow through their pleasure-blinded haze, treasure looked porter in the eyes and raked their nails once more down his back. fuck, he wished he could scar.
âmm, beg me. beg for my cum,â they demanded with a groan. porter felt himself instantly melt under their authority and he whined in frustration, his knees almost buckling at their words. he fucked them faster and complied.
âfuck, please treasure! i need your cum, i fucking need it! i canâtâi canât cum before you, i donât deserve it. you have to cum for me, m-my love. iâll never fucking raise my voice at you again, never. gods, oh my gods, please please please cum!â
he looked in their eyes the whole time, beggarly and despairing. treasure couldnât help but succumb to all of the pleasure he was throwing at them. a few deep, swift thrusts later and they were creaming all over him. they went stiff and their mouth dropped open in a silent scream. porter felt their hole clench and pulse around him, effortlessly sending him down the same path. his cum pumped inside of them in thick ropes of ivory. he buried his head in their neck and let out a continuous string of groans and whimpers, hips shallowly bucking with each spurt of cum. his thumb never stopped stroking even as treasure reached the end of their climax. they enjoyed that slight bit of overstimulation, so they didnât stop him. it was endearing how focused he was on making them feel good even in the throes of his own ecstasy.
porter eventually finished and collapsed beside them, eyes shut and breaths heavy. treasure remained on their back and stared up at the ceiling just as they were before he arrived. though, they were now drunk on him instead of wine. his cum steadily oozed out of them and they briefly thanked themself for having the foresight to put the towel underneath them.
âyouâre cleaning this up,â they mumbled, breaking the silence. porter had practically rendered their shower useless, after all. the vampire cracked an eye open and wore a neutral expression.
âof course i am, my sweet, but in a moment. i missed this,â he replied evenly. treasure simply nodded and went back to staring upward. their gaze shifted to the ceiling fan and focused on a single fan blade, following it through each slow revolution. they felt a hand cautiously slide across their stomach, ending up cupping their side. porter scooted closer to them and held them like that, almost balling himself up in the fetal position beside them. they didnât look over at him. they were afraid if they did, they would break. a part of them was still upset at him and knew they would confront him again, but the larger part told them that now was not the time. if they looked over at him now, they knew they would forget why they were even mad at him in the first place. for now, in this moment, they would let sleeping dogs lie and bask in the arms of a creature who would do anything for them, knowingly or not.

Loveâs crazy battle
Starring: leeknow, seungmin and y/n fab readerÂĄ
Sypnosis: Y/Nâs unbreakable bond with Seungmin feels like an impossible wall for Lee Know, whoâs willing to risk everything for her love. He is consumed by jealousy but driven by hope, he fights to prove heâs more than second place. But seungmin gets jealous of the time sheâs spending with him.Will Y/N see the love standing right in front of her, or will history win?
Warnings: slow burn, subtle smut
Word count:44.6k
Lee Know had always been a bit of a loner, reserved in his thoughts, but when it came to Y/N, everything changed. He could hardly think straight when she was around. His feelings for her had developed over timesubtle at first, a passing thought here or there, and then the realization that he was falling for her. Slowly, quietly, in a way that wasnât so easy to ignore anymore.
But Y/N had her own thing going on. She wasnât oblivious to him, not at all. Yet, she was always around Seungmin, always laughing at his jokes, always turning to him for everything, and Lee Know couldnât help but feel a pang of jealousy each time he saw the two of them together. Seungmin was Y/Nâs best friend, and their bond was undeniable.
Lee Know didnât even know when it had happened, but the attraction had started to fester. Y/N had been there when he needed someone, but it wasnât until recently that the idea of her not being in his life became unbearable.
The way she smiled, the way her eyes lit up when Seungmin said something funny it gnawed at him. I want that. I want her to look at me like that, he thought, staring at her from across the room. She was sitting on the couch, reading, while Seungmin was beside her, his voice animated as he spoke.
Why does it always have to be Seungmin? Lee Know thought bitterly. Why canât it be me?
He was so lost in his own thoughts that he didnât even realize Hyunjin was sitting beside him until his friend spoke.
âYouâre staring again, Minho.â
Lee Know snapped out of it, his gaze immediately shifting to Hyunjin. He had been so deep in his thoughts that he didnât even notice how obvious he was being.
âUh, sorry,â Lee Know muttered, trying to hide the blush creeping up his neck.
Hyunjin smirked, nudging him lightly. âItâs not like you to get so worked up over a girl.â
Lee Know glared at him, but there was a hint of frustration in his voice. âItâs not just any girl, Hyunjin. Itâs Y/N.â
Hyunjin raised an eyebrow. âAh, that explains it. But why donât you just tell her how you feel?â
Lee Know sighed. âSheâs always with Seungmin. I donât stand a chance.â
Hyunjin shook his head, his voice turning serious. âMinho, you wonât know until you try. She might feel the same way.â
Lee Know didnât respond right away. The thought of confronting Y/N, of putting his feelings out there and risking their friendship, terrified him. But deep down, he knew he couldnât keep hiding his emotions. Not when his heart ached every time he saw her smile at Seungmin.
Days passed, and Lee Know found himself drawn to Y/N more and more. The way she laughed, the way her eyes lit up when she spoke, it was like she had a gravity all her own, pulling him closer despite the circumstances. It was almost as if he couldnât stop himself anymore, and his heart betrayed him every time he caught himself staring.
One day, the three of them Y/N, Seungmin, and Lee Know were having lunch in the park. Seungmin and Y/N were discussing something that seemed trivial, but it was enough to make Lee Know seethe with jealousy. They were so natural together, so comfortable.
Why does she turn to him so easily? Lee Know thought, pushing his food around on his plate. Does she even see me?
As if sensing the growing tension in the air, Y/N turned to Lee Know, her expression softening. âMinho, youâre awfully quiet today. Whatâs on your mind?â
Lee Knowâs heart skipped a beat. She was looking at himâlooking directly at him, her eyes full of concern.
âNothing,â Lee Know replied quickly, forcing a smile. âJust⊠tired.â
Seungmin, of course, didnât miss the subtle tension. âAre you sure? Youâve been acting weird lately. You usually joke around more.â
Lee Knowâs gaze flicked to Seungmin, and for the briefest moment, he felt an overwhelming surge of jealousy. Why does it always come so easily for him?
But he pushed it down, shaking his head. âIâm fine,â he said with a tight smile.
Y/N, however, didnât buy it. âYouâre sure?â she asked again, this time her voice softer.
Why is she being so gentle with me? Lee Know thought. Maybe⊠maybe thereâs more to this than I realize.
Seungmin seemed oblivious to the moment. âAnyway, did you hear about that new cafe opening downtown? Y/N and I should go check it out sometime, maybe this weekend.â
Lee Know felt the pit of his stomach drop. Of course she would go with him, he thought bitterly, although he didnât show it on the outside.
Y/N glanced at him, catching the edge of his expression. âWhat do you think, Minho? Would you want to come?â
Lee Know blinked, caught off guard by her sudden question. Sheâs asking me? It didnât make sense. Why would she want me to go?
âI⊠I guess,â Lee Know said, his voice faltering slightly. âSure. I could come.â
Y/N smiled, a genuine smile that made his heart race. âGreat! Itâll be fun.â
Over the next few days, Lee Know found himself spending more and more time with Y/N. It started off casually, with her inviting him along on errands or to grab a coffee, but soon, the interactions became more personal. They shared quiet moments in the library, exchanging thoughts on their coursework. He found himself confiding in her more than he ever had before.
Sheâs different with me now, Lee Know thought one evening as they sat on a park bench, sharing stories about their childhoods. I never realized how easy it could be to talk to her.
Y/N, unaware of the growing connection between them, laughed lightly as she told him a funny story about Seungmin.
âI swear, sometimes I think Seungmin is more dramatic than I am,â Y/N said, chuckling. âHe canât take a joke to save his life.â
Lee Know smiled, but there was a flicker of something darker behind his eyes. I donât want to hear about Seungmin anymore. I want to talk about us. But I canât say that.
âIâm sure heâs just being dramatic,â Lee Know said, his voice lighter than he felt. He didnât want to ruin the moment, so he changed the subject. âYou seem to get along with him really well.â
Y/Nâs eyes softened as she looked at him. âWeâve known each other for years. Weâre like family.â
Lee Know felt his chest tighten at her words. Like family. And what am I?
But he didnât say it out loud. Instead, he pushed the thought away, focusing on the warmth of her presence beside him. It felt nice. It felt right.
But as the days passed, he couldnât ignore the nagging feeling that Seungmin was still in the pictureâstill the one Y/N would turn to. I canât keep letting this happen. I have to make my move.
It wasnât long before Seungmin began to notice the shift. Lee Know and Y/N were spending more time together, and it was starting to get under his skin. He was Y/Nâs best friend, her confidant. They had history, a bond that couldnât be broken. Or so he thought.
One afternoon, after a particularly long day of studying, Seungmin confronted Lee Know. They were walking down the street, heading to a nearby cafe when Seungmin finally spoke up.
âMinho, we need to talk.â
Lee Know raised an eyebrow, his nerves already on edge. âAbout what?â
Seungminâs eyes narrowed, his voice low. âAbout Y/N.â
Lee Knowâs heart skipped a beat. Here it comes.
âY/Nâs been spending a lot of time with you lately,â Seungmin continued, his tone defensive. âAnd Iâm not sure how I feel about that.â
Lee Knowâs jaw clenched. âIâm not trying to steal her from you, Seungmin,â he said, his voice tight with frustration. âSheâs her own person. I canât control who she spends time with.â
Seungminâs expression darkened. âYouâve always been a little too interested in her, Minho. Iâm starting to think thereâs more to this than youâre letting on.â
Lee Knowâs patience was wearing thin. âAnd whatâs that supposed to mean?â
Seungmin took a step closer, his tone growing more intense. âI see the way you look at her. Youâre falling for her, arenât you?â
Lee Know froze, his heart pounding in his chest. How does he know?
âIââ Lee Know began, but he didnât know what to say.
Seungminâs eyes softened slightly, but there was still a sharp edge to his words. âYou better figure it out, Minho. I donât want to lose her to you.â
It all came to a head one evening when Lee Know was hanging out with Y/N at a small café. They were sipping coffee, talking about everything and nothing at all, when Seungmin suddenly barged in, his expression dark.
âYouâre spending a lot of time with him, huh?â Seungmin said, his voice laced with tension. He didnât even greet Y/N first, his eyes locked on Lee Know.
Y/N blinked in surprise, but Lee Know wasnât phased. âWeâre just hanging out,â he said evenly, trying to keep his cool.
Seungminâs gaze flickered to Y/N, who was looking between the two of them, clearly sensing the change in the atmosphere. âI donât know if I like this, Minho,â Seungmin said, his voice low but sharp. âYouâve been acting different around her lately.â
Lee Knowâs temper flared, but he forced himself to stay calm. âWhatâs your problem, Seungmin?â
Y/Nâs eyes darted between them. âwhatâs happening right now?â
But before either of them could respond, Seungmin raised his voice. âYouâre acting like youâre her only friend now, Minho. I donât like it.â
Lee Know stood up, his chair scraping against the floor. âIâm not trying to replace you, Seungmin. Iâm just⊠trying to be there for her.â
The tension in the air was palpable, and Y/N looked uncomfortable, clearly caught in the middle of their argument.
Seungmin clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. âItâs not about replacing me, itâs about the way youâve been acting. You canât just swoop in and expect things to change just because you decided toââ
âI didnât decide anything,â Lee Know interrupted, his voice rising. âIâm not doing anything wrong, okay? Iâm just trying to be her friend, the same as you.â
Y/N stood up now, stepping between them, her eyes wide with alarm. âStop! Both of you, stop!â Her voice was loud, but there was panic in it, like she was afraid things might actually get out of hand.
Seungmin looked at her for a moment, his expression softening. âIâm just⊠trying to make sure he knows his place,â he muttered under his breath.
Lee Know shot Seungmin a glare, and for a split second, their eyes locked, both of them silent, the weight of unspoken words heavy in the air. Neither one of them was willing to back down.
âIâm not trying to take anyoneâs place,â Lee Know said, voice tight, but now quieter. âIâm just⊠here, like you are. Whatâs the problem with that?â
Y/Nâs gaze flitted between them, her heart racing. She wanted to scream at both of them to stop acting like children, but the tension was so thick it was hard to breathe.
âI just want things to stay the way they were,â Seungmin said, his tone softer now, almost pleading. âI donât want things to get⊠complicated.â
Lee Know turned to Y/N, his gaze softening just a little as he tried to gauge her reaction. She was still standing there, uncertain, caught in the middle of a battle she hadnât signed up for. She looks so lost, Lee Know thought, his heart aching with the knowledge that he was contributing to the mess.
âI donât want things to change either,â Lee Know said, his voice steady but not without frustration. âBut Iâm not going to back off just because youâre uncomfortable with it, Seungmin.â
Seungmin looked at him, then back at Y/N. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again, clenching his jaw. Without another word, he turned and stormed out of the café, leaving a stunned silence behind him.
Lee Know stayed where he was, his chest tight. He hadnât won, but the argument wasnât over. Not by a long shot.
Y/N took a shaky breath and finally spoke, her voice quiet. âI⊠I donât know what to say.â
Lee Know didnât know what to say either. His mind was racing, but he couldnât find the words. Instead, he just stood there, watching her as she struggled with everything between them.
âAre you okay?â he finally asked, his voice soft, almost vulnerable.
She met his gaze, her eyes searching his face for something, anything. âI⊠I think I just need some time to think.â
The weight of her words hung in the air, and for the first time, Lee Know truly realized how complicated things had become. He didnât want to lose her, but at this rate, he wasnât sure what would happen next.
Y/N had left the café with a soft promise to see them later, but the air was thick with unsaid words and heavy thoughts. As soon as the door closed behind her, the atmosphere between Lee Know and Seungmin changed. What had been simmering beneath the surface now exploded in full force.
Lee Knowâs fingers clenched around his coffee cup, the hot liquid now forgotten. He watched as Seungmin sat back in his chair, his arms crossed, his expression stormy.
Seungminâs voice broke the silence first. âYouâve been acting like youâve got some claim on her, Minho. You think she needs you more than me?â
Lee Know didnât flinch. âIâm not the one making things awkward,â he said coolly, his voice dangerously calm. âIâve just been here, trying to be her friend. Youâre the one acting like Iâm stealing something from you.â
Seungminâs eyes flashed with a mix of anger and something deeperâsomething darker. âDonât even act like you donât know whatâs going on, Minho. Youâre not fooling anyone. Youâve been sniffing around her for weeks, and itâs pathetic. Sheâs my best friend. You donât get to just waltz in and play the hero.â
Lee Knowâs fists tightened. He knew this was coming. Seungmin had been avoiding the truth for too long. But now, there was no denying itâSeungmin was jealous, and not just a little.
âIâm not trying to âplay the hero,â Seungmin,â Lee Know snapped, his voice low but seething. âI donât need to play games with her. But itâs clear youâve been hiding behind this act, pretending like everythingâs fine. Youâre scared of what might happen if she knows how you really feel.â
Seungmin stood up abruptly, the table creaking under the sudden movement. âYou have no right to say anything about how I feel! You donât get to dictate what happens between us, Minho. You need to stay the hell away from her.â
Lee Knowâs eyes hardened, the challenge in Seungminâs words hitting him like a physical blow. âWhatâs that supposed to mean, exactly?â His voice dropped to a low, menacing tone. âYou want me to just back off and pretend like nothingâs happening? That weâre all just friends here? Because thatâs not how it works.â
Seungmin sneered. âYou donât know anything about how this works. Youâre just some guy trying to get into her head. You donât even care about her. You just want to prove youâre better than me.â
Lee Know leaned in, his chest tightening as his frustration began to spill over. âI care about her more than youâve ever made her feel, Seungmin. So donât you dare try to act like youâve got some kind of claim on her. Iâm not backing down. If anything, youâre the one whoâs been messing things up.â
Seungminâs face twisted in fury, his hands trembling with rage. âYou think youâre better than me? You think sheâll just drop everything and choose you over me? Sheâs not going to want some guy who only showed up when it was convenient. Iâve been here for her since the beginning, Minho.â
Lee Know stood up, his breath quickening as he took a step toward Seungmin. âYou donât know what she needs, Seungmin. Youâre so busy pretending everythingâs fine that you canât see sheâs struggling. You think she wants someone who wonât even admit their feelings?â
âShut up!â Seungmin shouted, his voice breaking through the tension like a thunderclap. âYou donât know anything about her! Youâre not better than me. Youâre just a distraction.â
Lee Knowâs eyes flashed with fury, his heart pounding in his chest. âA distraction? You think Iâm a distraction to her? You think sheâs going to look at you and think youâre the one who truly understands her?â
Seungminâs lips curled into a bitter grin. âAt least I didnât wait until she was falling apart to finally decide Iâm interested. You only care about her now because you see a chance to win. Youâre just a stupid fucking low life idiot and thatâs why nobody likes with you.â
That was it. The words hit Lee Know like a punch to the gut. His vision blurred with anger. He was done. The quiet rage that had been simmering inside him finally boiled over.
Without thinking, Lee Knowâs fist shot out, slamming into Seungminâs face with a sickening thud. The force of the punch sent Seungmin crashing backward into the table, knocking it over with a loud bang. Coffee spilled everywhere, the sharp smell of spilled liquid filling the air.
For a moment, the cafĂ© was silent. Lee Know stood there, breathing heavily, his knuckles throbbing from the impact. Seungminâs face was flushed with pain, but his eyes burned with something darker. Something more dangerous.
âYou want to keep talking?â Lee Knowâs voice was raw, almost unrecognizable with the anger that bubbled up from deep within. âKeep running your mouth. Iâm done with this.â
Seungmin stood up slowly, wiping the blood from his lip. His eyes locked with Lee Knowâs, and for the first time, Lee Know could see the full force of Seungminâs jealousy and frustration. Seungmin had always been the calm one, the rational one, but now he was wild, unraveling at the seams.
âYou think thatâll solve everything?â Seungmin hissed. âYou think throwing a punch is going to make her choose you? Youâre wrong, Minho. Youâre just as selfish as I am. Weâre both just a couple of idiots fighting over the same girl.â
Lee Know didnât back down. âMaybe, but Iâm not going to let you push me around anymore.â
The two of them were standing face to face now, chest to chest, fists clenched and breath coming fast. Neither one of them was willing to back off.
Seungminâs eyes flared with rage as he lunged at Lee Know, throwing a wild punch that collided with Lee Knowâs jaw. The force of the hit sent him staggering back, but he didnât fall. Instead, he swung his own fist at Seungminâs face, landing a blow to his cheek.
The fight was messy, chaotic. Every punch, every shove was fueled by jealousy, by frustration, by the raw emotion they both couldnât control. Both of them had wanted Y/N, and neither of them was willing to admit it openly. But now, the weight of their feelings had led them to this a brutal, ugly fight neither of them had ever imagined.
Hyunjin burst through the door at that moment, eyes wide with shock as he rushed toward them, trying to break the fight up. âEnough!â he shouted, grabbing both of them by the shoulders and pulling them apart with surprising strength.
Lee Know stood there, chest heaving, his blood pounding in his ears. Seungmin wiped the blood from his lip, his eyes filled with something unreadable. Hyunjin didnât let go of them immediately, his grip firm as he looked between the two.
âYou both need to calm down,â Hyunjin said, his voice more controlled than it had been just a moment ago. âThis⊠this isnât helping anyone.â
Lee Know didnât respond. His mind was racing, his emotions a mess. The fight had escalated so quickly, but now that it was over, it felt like a hollow victory. What had it solved? Nothing. It hadnât solved anything. He wanted to be the one Y/N turned to, but now⊠now he wasnât sure how to fix things.
The fight had been messy. Lee Know had left the cafĂ© first, walking out without another word to anyone. He had stormed off, his mind racing with everything that had happened. But now, the dust had settledâsort of.
Seungmin, on the other hand, wasnât in a much better place. He had lingered for a while, still processing everything that had just happened. It was hard not to feel the burn of that fight, the sting of Lee Knowâs words, the punch that had landed with a resounding smack against his cheek. But what really gnawed at him wasnât the physical pain; it was the fact that Y/N hadnât been there to witness it.
He didnât want to admit it, but the truth stung.
The truth was, Y/N was starting to see Lee Know differently. He could see it in the way she looked at him when he was around. The tension in the air when the three of them were together was almost unbearable, and Seungmin hated it. He hated how Lee Know seemed to be inching closer to Y/N every day.
But the next day was different. Y/N had agreed to hang out with him. It wasnât just another group gathering; it was just the two of them, the way things used to be. Seungmin had invited her over to his house, and sheâd agreed without hesitation. Maybe, just maybe, he could regain the comfort he had with her before all of this tension had begun. Before everything had changed.
The air in Seungminâs apartment felt heavier than usual as Y/N stepped inside. She always loved coming hereâhis space felt comfortable, familiar, like home. But today, it was different. Everything felt strange, as if something was shifting beneath the surface.
Seungmin greeted her with a casual smile, but his eyes held something deeper. There was a tension there, a wariness that Y/N couldnât quite place. She couldnât help but wonder if it had something to do with the fight sheâd witnessed between him and Lee Know just a few days ago. Things had changed between them ever since. And though she tried to ignore it, a part of her couldnât help but feel the shift feel it in the way they both looked at her, in the moments of silence that stretched too long.
âSo, what do you want to do today?â Seungmin asked, trying to sound casual. He motioned toward the couch. âWe could watch a movie or just hang out⊠Whatever you feel like.â
Y/N nodded, stepping further into the room. She felt drawn to the couch, sinking into its softness. But as she did, her eyes fell on Seungminâs arm. Her gaze lingered for a moment, and she froze. There was a bruise on his forearm, just above his sleeve.
âSeungmin⊠what happened?â she asked, her voice soft, but sharp with concern. She stood up slightly, her eyes locked on the purple-blue mark.
He paused, looking down at the bruise as if he had just remembered it was there. A faint chuckle escaped his lips, though it was humorless. âItâs nothing,â he said, brushing it off. âI⊠got into a bit of a scuffle with Lee Know. Nothing serious.â
Y/Nâs heart sank. She had hoped it wasnât related to the fight, but now that she saw the bruise, the tension between them felt even more palpable. She sat back down, her thoughts racing.
A part of her wanted to ask more, wanted to know the truth about what had happened, but another part of her knew it wouldnât do any good. The distance between Seungmin and Lee Know was growing, and there was nothing she could do to fix it. It was like they were both pulling in different directions, and she was caught in the middle.
âI didnât know it had gotten that bad,â Y/N finally said, her voice quieter now. She couldnât help but look at the bruise again.
Seungmin shook his head, his lips pressing into a thin line. âItâs nothing to worry about,â he repeated. âIâm fine. You donât need to stress about it.â
But Y/N wasnât so sure. She studied him, her eyes tracing the curve of his jaw, the way his hand tightened around the edge of the couch. There was more beneath the surface, and she could feel it in her bones.
âOkay,â she said softly, though the worry in her chest didnât go away. She changed the subject, trying to push the awkwardness aside. âWhat have you been up to lately?â
Seungmin leaned back, trying to relax, but Y/N could see the tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers drummed against the armrest.
âSame old stuff,â he replied, but his voice was distracted. âSchool, work, and dealing with⊠everything else.â His eyes flicked toward her, searching for something in her expression. âI havenât had much time to⊠think about anything else.â
Y/Nâs heart skipped a beat at his words. The way he said it made her wonderâwas he talking about Lee Know? Or was he talking about something else entirely?
She tried to ignore the way her stomach fluttered at the thought.
They sat in silence for a moment, the air thick with unspoken words. Y/N shifted on the couch, her body feeling warmer as the space between them seemed to shrink.
âSo,â Y/N began, trying to lighten the mood, âWhat do you want to do today? Really, Iâm good with anything.â
Seungmin glanced at her, his lips twitching into a small smile. âI donât know,â he said slowly. âHow about we just⊠hang out? No pressure.â
Y/N smiled, though her mind was still caught on the bruise. It was hard to focus on anything else when she could still feel the weight of it in the air. She shifted again, glancing down at her phone, but when she looked up, she found Seungmin watching herâhis eyes locked on hers with an intensity that she wasnât quite used to.
It was like everything in the room slowed for a moment. The sound of her own breath filled her ears, and for a brief second, she wondered if she could hear his heart beating too. They were sitting so close now, the space between them feeling like nothing at all.
Y/Nâs pulse quickened as she noticed how his eyes dropped to her lips for just a fraction of a second before meeting her gaze again. She held her breath, unsure of what to do, her mind swirling with thoughts she couldnât quite put into words.
Seungmin leaned forward slightly, just enough for Y/N to feel the heat from his body. His breath brushed against her cheek, sending a shiver down her spine. Her heart thudded in her chest, the anticipation thick in the air.
âY/N,â he murmured, his voice low and almost a whisper. âIâŠâ
Before he could finish, Y/Nâs eyes flickered to his lips again, and that was all the invitation Seungmin needed.
Without thinking, he closed the distance between them. His lips brushed against hers in a soft, tentative kiss. It was light, almost hesitant, but the moment their lips met, it felt like the world had shifted.
Y/Nâs breath caught in her throat, her hand reaching up to rest against his chest. Her heart pounded in her chest as Seungmin deepened the kiss, his hands gently cupping her face. Everything else faded awayâthe fight, the tension, the complicated emotions swirling around them.
It was just them now.
Y/N pulled away first, her face flushed with heat, her breath shaky. She stared at Seungmin, her heart still racing as the weight of what had just happened sank in.
âSeungmin,â she whispered, her voice barely audible, as she tried to steady herself. âWhat are we doing?â
His forehead rested against hers, his hands still gently holding her face. His breath was heavy, matching her own, and for a long moment, neither of them spoke. The only sound was the thumping of their hearts, beating in sync.
âI donât know,â Seungmin whispered back, his voice thick with emotion. âBut I canât stop⊠I donât want to stop.â
Y/N felt the tension between them pull tighter, the air around them crackling with intensity. There was no going back now, but as much as she wanted to give in, she couldnât shake the feeling that something was about to change. Something that might tear them apart.
But in that moment, with his lips hovering just inches from hers, she couldnât bring herself to care about anything else.
The following day, the weight of everything that had happened the day before lingered heavily on Y/Nâs mind. The kiss with Seungmin the one that had caught her completely off guardwas still on her lips, like a taste she couldnât quite shake off. But today, she needed to focus. She wasnât about to let one moment complicate things more than it already had. She couldnât.
But then, there was Lee Know.
She tried not to notice the way his eyes followed her every move, the subtle way he lingered at the edges of her vision. He was always around. It made her uncomfortable and yet⊠something about it tugged at her in a way she couldnât fully understand.
Seungmin, on the other hand, had been quieter today. Y/N caught him stealing glances at her in between classes, but the energy between them felt different unsure, like the weight of their unspoken feelings hung between them, thick and heavy. She liked him. She definitely did. But something inside her was still unsure. She couldnât help but feel like there was something she was missing.
It wasnât just about Seungmin. Lee Know had been in the background, too, his presence so constant it was impossible to ignore. But there was nothing she could do about that, right? He had always been a little mysterious, a little aloof. And she didnât need more complication in her life right now.
The school day dragged on, the hours stretching into what felt like an eternity. As the final bell rang, Y/N grabbed her bag and headed for the doors, ready to meet Seungmin outside. She had promised him theyâd hang out. Just the two of them.
But as she walked through the crowded hallway, she couldnât help but notice that all the noise seemed to fade away, and all she could hear was the rhythmic beat of her heart in her chest. The feeling of someone watching her sent a shiver down her spine. She turned slightly, her heart skipping a beat.
There he was.
Lee Know was standing at the end of the hallway, leaning casually against the lockers, his eyes locked onto hers. His usual teasing smirk was absent, replaced by a steady, unreadable gaze. Y/N felt her pulse quicken despite herself. She told herself it was nothing, that it was just Lee Know being his usual self.
But there was something different today.
Before she could look away, Lee Know pushed himself off the lockers and started walking toward her. He moved with a purposeful calm, and each step seemed to slow down the world around them.
Y/Nâs hand tightened around the strap of her bag. She was supposed to be meeting Seungminâwhy did Lee Know always have a way of pulling her in? She could feel the tension building in the pit of her stomach as he got closer.
She tried to ignore it, tried to focus on the fact that she was meeting Seungmin, but Lee Knowâs voice cut through her thoughts.
âY/N,â his voice was low and smooth, and it stopped her in her tracks.
She turned toward him, trying to keep her expression neutral. âLee Know, whatâs up?â
He stopped right in front of her, so close she could feel the warmth radiating off his body. His eyes were intense, fixed firmly on her, but his expression remained unreadable. There was a flicker of something there, something deeper than just his usual teasing.
âCan I talk to you for a second?â His voice was quieter now, more serious than sheâd ever heard it.
Y/N opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, she felt the familiar hand on her shoulder. Seungminâs face appeared in her line of sight, confusion written all over it.
âY/N, are you ready to go?â Seungmin asked, his gaze flickering between her and Lee Know.
Y/N hesitated, her mind racing. She wanted to spend time with Seungmin, but the way Lee Know was looking at her now⊠it was different. She could feel the unspoken challenge in the air. She could feel the pull between them, an almost magnetic force.
Lee Know didnât look at Seungmin. He didnât acknowledge him at all. His eyes stayed focused on Y/N, unwavering.
âYou know I was just about to head out with Seungmin, right?â Y/N tried to keep her tone light, even though she could feel her heart beating faster.
âI know,â Lee Know replied, his voice oddly calm. âBut this wonât take long. I just need a minute with you.â
Y/N glanced at Seungmin, but his face was hard to read, his expression tight. He wasnât looking at her anymore, his attention focused solely on Lee Know.
âSeungmin, itâs okay,â Y/N said softly, trying to smooth over the tension. âIâll be right back.â
Seungmin nodded, but his jaw was clenched, his eyes still wary as Y/N was gently led away by Lee Know down the hallway.
Y/N felt a sudden chill run down her spine as Lee Know guided her toward an empty classroom. The air felt heavier, charged with something that made her stomach tighten. Her mind racedwhat was he going to say? Why was he acting like this?
Lee Know opened the door, and Y/N stepped inside before him. She didnât have a chance to ask what was going on before the door shut behind them with a soft click. She turned, about to speak, but the words stuck in her throat when she saw the way Lee Know was looking at her. His eyes were darker now, his posture rigid, and there was no trace of the usual playful demeanor. He was all business now.
âLee Know, whatâs going on?â Y/N asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her heart pounding.
He didnât answer right away, only closed the space between them with deliberate steps. His gaze never left her face, and it made her feel exposed, like he could see right through her. The tension in the room was thick, suffocating.
âWhy do you always let him have you?â Lee Knowâs voice was low, almost dangerous, as he spoke. There was an edge to it, a frustration that had been building for too long.
Y/N blinked, not sure how to respond. âWhat do you mean?â
Lee Know let out a sharp breath, his eyes flashing with something unreadable. âYou know exactly what I mean. The way you look at him. The way you let him get under your skin. Itâs so⊠obvious.â
Y/N felt a rush of heat spread across her chest, her mind scrambling to keep up with his words. âI donât Lee Know, I donât understand. Seungmin is just my friend.â
Lee Knowâs lips curled into a smirk, but it wasnât playful. It was bitter. âIs that what you tell yourself?â
Her pulse quickened as he took another step closer. âI told you, itâs not like that between us.â
âI donât buy it.â Lee Knowâs voice was steady, but there was an undeniable fire in his words. âYou think you can have him and have me too? That you can keep playing this game?â
Y/Nâs breath hitched as his face came dangerously close to hers. Her heart thudded erratically in her chest. âWhat do you want from me?â she whispered, her voice barely a breath.
Lee Knowâs eyes softened for a split second, and in that moment, she saw the intensity of what he was feeling something raw, something desperate.
âI want you to see me,â he said quietly, almost like a confession. âI want you to see what Iâve been trying to show you this whole time.â
Y/Nâs heart raced as the tension between them built to an almost unbearable level. She was frozen, unsure of what was happening, of what he wanted. But she couldnât deny that the pull between them was undeniable. The words hung in the air like a silent promise, and for a moment, she couldnât breathe.
Y/Nâs pulse was hammering in her ears as she stood there, locked in the classroom with Lee Know. The space between them seemed to shrink with every breath she took. She tried to gather her thoughts, but all she could focus on was the intensity in his eyes, the way he was standing so close, his presence overwhelming in the small, empty room.
âLee Know, IâŠâ Y/N began, her voice shaky. She wasnât sure what she wanted to say, but there were so many emotions bubbling up inside herconfusion, frustration, and something else she couldnât quite place.
He watched her, silent and still, his gaze never leaving hers. âWhat is it, Y/N?â His voice was calm, but there was an edge to it, like he was waiting for her to say something that would make this whole thing make sense.
Y/N swallowed hard, her breath coming faster as she looked up at him. âI donât understand,â she said, her voice barely above a whisper. âWhy are you doing this? Why are you pulling me away from Seungmin like this?â
Lee Knowâs expression softened for a brief moment, but his gaze was still intense, searching her face like he was trying to read her every thought. He took another step closer, closing the distance between them even more. She could feel his breath on her skin now, each exhale a reminder of how close they were.
âBecause you donât see it, Y/N,â he said quietly, his tone suddenly vulnerable. âYou donât see me. You never have.â
Y/Nâs heart skipped a beat, and she took a small step back, but there was nowhere to go. The classroom felt smaller with every passing second, the walls closing in on her as Lee Know continued to advance. Her mind was racing, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and conflicting emotions. Why was this happening? Why was it so hard to breathe?
âYouâre not just a friend to me,â Lee Know said, his voice almost a whisper now. âYou never were. And Iâve tried to show you, in every way I could, but you always ran back to Seungmin.â
Y/N opened her mouth to respond, but the words wouldnât come. She wanted to say something, anything, to make sense of this, but nothing felt right. Her heart was telling her one thing, but her mind was still tangled in knots.
âYou donât understand,â she finally managed to say, her voice breaking slightly. âI never wanted to hurt you. But⊠Seungmin⊠heâs my friend. I donât know how toââ
Lee Know cut her off, his voice suddenly fierce, intense. âYou think I donât understand? You think I donât know how much he means to you?â His eyes burned with frustration, but there was something else there too something darker, something desperate. âIâve seen the way you look at him. But why does it always have to be him, Y/N? Why canât it be me?â
Y/N felt a rush of heat spread across her chest, her mind racing to make sense of his words. She could feel her pulse pounding in her throat, and her breath was coming in shallow gasps. She wanted to step back, to put distance between them, but her body betrayed her. She couldnât move.
His face was inches from hers now, his hands resting at his sides, fists clenched, as though he was holding himself back. But she could see the way his jaw tightened, the way his eyes flickered down to her lips, and she knew.
He wanted this.
She wanted this too.
And yet, the tension was suffocating. The silence between them stretched out, thick and heavy, until it felt like the air itself was crackling with something dangerous.
âLee Know,â she whispered, barely able to breathe, âwhat are you doing?â
He didnât answer. Instead, he reached out, his fingers brushing gently against her arm. The simple touch sent a jolt of electricity through her body, and she instinctively stepped closer, drawn to him in a way she couldnât deny.
His hand cupped her face, his thumb brushing gently over her cheek, and she closed her eyes, the sensation overwhelming.
âY/NâŠâ His voice was soft, pleading, as if he was waiting for her to give him permission. âPleaseâŠâ
And then, without another word, he leaned in, closing the final gap between them.
Her heart stopped in her chest as his lips brushed against hers, tentative at first, like he was testing the waters. But the moment their lips met, the floodgates opened. All the tension, all the unspoken words, the emotions that had been building between them for weeksthey were released in that one moment.
His hand slid to the back of her neck, pulling her closer as the kiss deepened. Y/Nâs mind went blank. She couldnât think, couldnât focus on anything except the feeling of him so close, so warm, his lips moving against hers with an urgency that matched her own.
For the first time, the confusion, the tension, the fear it all melted away. There was only Lee Know. Only the way he made her feel.
When they finally pulled away, both of them were breathless, their foreheads resting together as they tried to steady their breathing. Y/Nâs chest rose and fell rapidly, her heart still racing in her ears.
Lee Knowâs hand was still gently cupping her face, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.
âI donât want to be just another guy to you, Y/N,â Lee Know murmured, his voice hoarse. âI want to be the one you choose. The one you see.â
Y/N felt a rush of conflicting emotions swirl inside her. She had never felt so exposed, so vulnerable. And yet, there was something about being with him in this moment that made everything else fade away.
âIâŠâ Y/N started, but the words stuck in her throat. She wanted to say something, but she didnât know what. She was caught between the pull of her feelings for Seungmin and the overwhelming intensity of what she felt for Lee Know.
He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering for a moment longer than necessary. âTake your time, Y/N,â he said softly. âBut donât keep running from me.â
Y/N stood there, her mind racing, trying to process what had just happened. She had never expected this never imagined sheâd be caught in the middle of such a storm. But here she was, with Lee Know standing so close, his presence impossible to ignore.
Lee Know pressed his forehead to hers, his breath still shallow as they lingered in the moment. He leaned in again, his lips meeting hers with more urgency this time, as though he couldnât wait any longer. His hands slid to her waist, pulling her closer, the heat between them intensifying. The air between them was thick, charged with everything theyâd both been holding back.
As he kisses her he moves her up onto the desk.his hands roaming her body.
While kissing her hungrily, his tongue exploring her mouth with an insistent need. His hands roamed over her body, pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss. He could feel the heat of her skin through her clothes, and it only fueled his desire.
He then steps between her legs as he pressed his body against hers. His hands moved to her thighs, tracing small circles against her skin as he continued to kiss her, his lips moving down to her neck.
He nipped and sucked at the sensitive skin, marking her as his own.
"Minho..." Y/N gasped, her voice laced with desire.
He pulled back, his eyes dark with lust as he looked at her. "You're so pretty" he growled, his hands gripping her hips.
He leaned in to capture her lips again, this time more forcefully but gentle making sure not to hurt her. He was claiming her.
He began to kiss down her neck, his lips and teeth leaving a trail of marks in their wake. He wanted everyone to know that she was his, that he had claimed her body and soul.
Y/N could feel his arousal pressing against her, a reminder of how much he wanted her. She moaned softly, her body arching into his touch.
In this moment she forgets seungmin is waiting for her outside.
Lee Know's hands moved to the waistband of her pants, his fingers hooking under the fabric as he began to tug them down. He pulled them off in one swift motion, tossing them aside without a care.
He then turned his attention to his own pants, quickly undoing his belt and unbuttoning his jeans. He pushed them down just enough to free himself, his hardness pressing against her through his boxers.
He let out a low groan as he pressed himself against her, the thin layer of fabric between them doing little to dull the sensation. "You feel so good," he murmured, his voice rough with need.
"Please, Minho..." Y/N begged, her body trembling with anticipation.
He chuckled darkly, enjoying the effect he had on her. "Please what, baby?" he asked, his lips brushing against her ear.
She could feel his hot breath against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. "I need you," she whispered, her hands clutching at his shirt.
He smirked, his hands roaming over her body as he teased her. "You're so desperate for me," he said, his voice low and husky. "I am too so of course~"
Lee Know's fingers slid under the waistband of her underwear, slowly peeling them down her legs. He tossed them aside as well, his eyes dark with desire as he took in the sight of her bare before him.
He positioned himself at her entrance, his body tense with anticipation. He teased her for a moment, running the tip of his cock along her slick folds, making her whimper with need.
"You're so wet for me," he growled, his voice thick with lust. "So ready for me to take you."
He couldn't wait any longer. He pushed into her, groaning as her tight heat enveloped him. "Fuck," he hissed, his hands gripping her hips tightly.
Y/N moans quiet, her back arching as he filled her completely. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him deeper inside her.
He began to move, his thrusts slow and deliberate at first. He wanted to savor the feeling of being inside her, the way her body clenched around him.
"You feel so good," he repeated, his voice strained with pleasure. "So perfect for me."
Lee Know picked up the pace, his hips slamming into her with a relentless force. The desk creaked beneath them, the sound echoing through the empty classroom.
Y/N was lost in a haze of pleasure, her moans growing louder with each thrust. She couldn't control the sounds that escaped her lips, her body too overwhelmed by the sensations coursing through her. She bites her lip to muffle it.
"That's it, baby," he encouraged, his voice rough with need. "Let me hear you."
He leaned down, capturing one of her nipples between his teeth as he continued to pound into her. She cried out at the sensation, her nails digging into his back as she clung to him desperately.
Lee Know's pace became frantic, his need for release taking over. He could feel his own climax building, the tension coiling tightly in his gut.
He shifted slightly, angling his hips to hit that sweet spot inside her that made her scream. And scream she did, her body arching off the desk as pleasure coursed through her.
"I'm close," he grunted, his breath hot against her skin. "Cum for me, y/n. I want to feel you come undone around me."
Lee Know's movements became more erratic, his body tense as he chased his release. He could feel her walls fluttering around him, a sure sign that she was close.
his voice ragged. "Let go for me."
He continued to thrust into her, pushing her closer and closer to the edge. Just as he felt her walls clench tightly around him, he pulled out, spilling himself on her stomach with a strangled groan.
After that and they got dressed and Lee know made sure she was okay. But then y/n remembers seungmin is waiting for her.
Y/N quickly fixed her pants, her heart racing as she glanced at Lee Know, who was pulling his shirt back over his head. The silence between them was heavy, but neither of them dared to break it. She didnât even want to look at himânot because of regret, but because she wasnât ready to face what had just happened.
âY/N,â Lee Know said softly, his voice tentative. He was standing there, watching her, his eyes full of questions he wasnât sure he should ask.
But Y/N shook her head quickly, brushing her hair out of her face as she grabbed her bag from the desk. âDonât,â she said quietly, her voice steady despite the storm of emotions inside her. âWe canât⊠talk about this. Not now.â
Lee Know frowned, his jaw tightening as he took a step closer. âSo, what? Youâre just going to pretend this didnât happen?â
She hesitated for a moment, her hand gripping the strap of her bag so tightly her knuckles turned white. âI have to go,â she said, sidestepping him and heading for the door. She felt his gaze on her the entire time, burning into her back, but she didnât turn around. She couldnât.
Her mind was spinning as she stepped into the hallway, quickly smoothing down her clothes and forcing her expression to stay neutral. She couldnât let anyone see that something had changed, that everything had changed.
The moment she saw Seungmin waiting for her near the lockers, her heart twisted painfully in her chest. He smiled at her, his easy, familiar smile, and it felt like a punch to the gut. Forcing a smile of her own, she walked toward him as though nothing had happened, as though she wasnât still feeling Lee Knowâs touch on her skin.
âHey,â Seungmin greeted her, his voice warm. âYouâre late. What took you so long?â
âGot caught up talking to a teacher,â she lied effortlessly, her voice light and casual. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, willing herself to act normal. âSorry about that.â
Seungmin shrugged, slinging his bag over his shoulder. âNo worries. Ready to head out?â
âYeah,â Y/N said, nodding quickly. She fell into step beside him, the weight of what had just happened pressing heavily on her chest. But she pushed it down, burying it deep where it couldnât surface. Not now. Not when Seungmin was looking at her like that, so oblivious to the storm raging inside her.
As they walked down the hallway together, she couldnât help but glance over her shoulder. Lee Know was still standing by the classroom door, his expression unreadable, his eyes locked on her.
Y/N quickly turned back, her heart pounding. She couldnât think about him. She couldnât think about any of it. Not now.
The next day itâs the weekend.
Y/N lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as sunlight filtered through her curtains, painting faint patterns across her room. The weekend had arrived, yet it didnât bring the peace she had hoped for. Instead, her mind was a battlefield, torn between two facesâtwo sets of eyes that seemed to haunt her every thought.
Lee Know. Seungmin.
She turned onto her side, clutching her pillow tightly as if it could somehow absorb the chaos swirling in her chest. Her heart was a mess of contradictions. When she thought of Seungmin, she felt warmth, comfort, and familiarityâmemories of laughter, long talks, and the easy rhythm they had built together over the years.
But then, there was Lee Know. The memory of his touch, the intensity of his gaze, the way his voice sent shivers down her spine. He was raw, overwhelming, and impossible to ignore. Being with him had felt like stepping into a stormâterrifying yet exhilarating.
Y/N groaned, burying her face in the pillow. âWhat am I doing?â she muttered to herself, her voice muffled.
She had always prided herself on being logical, practical. But now, logic had deserted her entirely. How had she gotten to this point? How had everything become so tangled?
Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, and she reached for it hesitantly, her heart skipping a beat when she saw Seungminâs name on the screen.
Seungmin: Morning! Want to grab lunch later?
Y/Nâs fingers hovered over the keyboard as she hesitated, her mind instantly flashing back to Lee Knowâs faceâthe way he had looked at her after everything that had happened. She hadnât heard from him since, and the silence was unnerving. Did he regret it? Did she?
Before she could answer Seungmin, another buzz made her jump. This time, it was a message from Lee Know.
Lee Know: We need to talk.
Her breath caught in her throat, and she sat up, her heart racing. She stared at the two messages, the weight of them pressing down on her like a tidal wave.
Two boys. Two choices. And no idea which path would lead to happinessâor heartbreak.
Y/N set the phone down without responding to either of them. She needed time to think, to figure out what she truly wanted. But the more she thought about it, the more trapped she felt, like she was caught in a web she couldnât escape.
She got out of bed and padded to the window, looking out at the quiet street below. Everything looked so normal, so simple, and yet her world was anything but.
âWhy canât this be easy?â she whispered to herself.
But deep down, she knew the answer. It wasnât easy because both Seungmin and Lee Know meant something to her. And no matter what she chose, someone was going to get hurt.
As she stood there, staring out at the world that seemed so indifferent to her turmoil, one thought echoed in her mind
She couldnât avoid them forever
For days, Y/N had done everything she could to avoid them both. Ignoring texts, dodging calls, and even changing her usual routes to class or around town. She thought that putting distance between them would make things clearer, give her the space to figure out what her heart truly wanted.
But all it had done was amplify the confusion.
The weight of it was unbearableâtwo people she cared about deeply, and no idea how to make a choice without breaking someoneâs heart, maybe even her own.
It was late afternoon when she found herself walking aimlessly through the park near her house, the crisp air carrying the scent of autumn leaves. She hadnât planned on being here, but her feet had brought her to the spot where she, Seungmin, and Lee Know had often hung out together.
Fate, it seemed, wasnât done with her yet.
When she looked up, her breath hitched. Both of them were there. Seungmin stood by the swings, his hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable. Lee Know was leaning against a tree nearby, arms crossed, his jaw tight.
They hadnât come together; that much was obvious from the tension crackling in the air between them. But somehow, they were both here now, and their eyes were fixed on her.
Y/N froze, her heart pounding as panic surged through her. She hadnât prepared for this for seeing them both at the same time, let alone having to face the storm she had been avoiding.
âY/N,â Seungmin was the first to speak, his voice steady but edged with frustration. âWe need to talk.â
Lee Know pushed off the tree, his dark eyes never leaving hers. âYeah, I think itâs about time.â
She swallowed hard, looking between them. âI⊠I donât know what to say.â
âWell, you can start by explaining why youâve been avoiding us,â Seungmin said, his tone sharper now. âYouâve been acting like we donât exist, and I think we both deserve better than that.â
âI wasnât trying to hurt you,â Y/N said quickly, her voice wavering. âI just needed time to think.â
âThink about what?â Lee Know pressed, stepping closer. âYouâve had days, Y/N. Days to figure out how you feel. And yet, here we are. Still waiting.â
Her stomach twisted as she looked at them two faces she cared about, both looking at her with such intensity that it was hard to breathe. âItâs not that simple,â she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
âIt is simple,â Seungmin said, his frustration bubbling to the surface. âYou canât keep us both in limbo like this. Itâs not fair.â
Lee Know nodded, his gaze unwavering. âHeâs right. You have to decide, Y/N. Do you want him or me?â
The question hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. She took a shaky step back, feeling like the ground beneath her was crumbling.
âI donât⊠I donât know,â she admitted, her voice breaking. âI care about both of you. I donât want to hurt either of you.â
âThatâs not good enough,â Lee Know said, his voice low but firm. âWeâve both been patient, but we canât keep doing this. You have to choose.â
Seungminâs eyes softened for a moment, but his tone remained steady. âWeâre not asking you to make a decision lightly. But you need to be honestwith us and with yourself.â
Y/N felt tears prickling at the corners of her eyes as she looked between them. Her heart was a whirlwind of emotions guilt, fear, longing, and love. But as much as she wanted to keep them both close, she knew they were right. She couldnât keep running from this.
Her voice trembled as she finally said, âI just need more time.â
Lee Knowâs jaw tightened, and he glanced at Seungmin before looking back at her. âYouâve had time, Y/N. How much more do you need?â
Seungmin exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. âIf you need more time, fine. But you canât avoid us anymore. Figure it out, Y/N. And soon.â
With that, he turned and walked away, his hands shoved deep into his pockets.
Lee Know stayed for a moment longer, his gaze piercing. âI hope you make the right choice,â he said softly before following Seungmin, leaving her standing there alone.
Y/N sank onto the nearest bench, her head in her hands. The clock was ticking, and no matter how much she wished for clarity, she knew that the answer wouldnât come easily.
It had been days since the confrontation at the park, and neither Seungmin nor Lee Know had spoken to Y/N. She had sent a few hesitant texts to each of them, but their responses were short and distant, leaving her even more unsure of where she stood with them.
Unbeknownst to her, Lee Know and Seungmin were dealing with the situation in their own way. The tension between them had been simmering for weeks, and it was finally about to boil over.
They met at a quiet café near the edge of town, a place they knew would be empty enough for them to talk without interruptions. Lee Know was already seated at a corner table when Seungmin walked in, his usual calm demeanor replaced with something colder, more guarded.
Seungmin sat down across from him, folding his arms. âSo, whatâs this about?â
Lee Know leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. âWe need to talk about Y/N.â
Seungminâs jaw tightened. âI think weâve talked enough, donât you?â
âNot like this,â Lee Know replied, his voice steady but firm. âLook, weâve both made it pretty clear how we feel about her. And we both know sheâs struggling to choose between us.â
Seungminâs lips pressed into a thin line, but he didnât respond.
Lee Know leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. âI donât want to keep fighting with you, Seungmin. And I donât want to hurt Y/N by forcing her to make a decision sheâs not ready for.â
âSo, whatâs your solution?â Seungmin asked, his tone skeptical.
Lee Know hesitated for a moment before saying, âWe share her.â
Seungmin blinked, caught off guard by the suggestion. âWhat?â
âYou heard me,â Lee Know said, his voice calm but determined. âWe stop making this a competition. We let her decide how she wants to split her time between us. No more fighting, no more pressuring her.â
âThatâs insane,â Seungmin said, shaking his head. âHow is that supposed to work?â
âI donât know,â Lee Know admitted. âBut itâs better than what weâre doing now. And itâs better than making her choose and risking losing her altogether.â
Seungmin leaned back in his chair, his arms still crossed as he considered the idea. It went against everything he had been feeling the jealousy, the possessiveness but a part of him couldnât deny that Lee Know had a point.
âShe might not even agree to it,â Seungmin said after a long pause.
âThatâs up to her,â Lee Know replied. âBut if weâre both serious about wanting her in our lives, then we need to at least try.â
Seungmin sighed, running a hand through his hair. âI still think this is crazy. But⊠Iâll agree, for her sake. If sheâs okay with it.â
Lee Know nodded, a small sense of relief washing over him. âGood. Then weâll talk to her together.â
Seungmin gave him a wary look. âJust so weâre clear, this doesnât mean Iâm okay with you being with her. Iâm only doing this because I donât want to hurt her.â
âSame here,â Lee Know said. âThis isnât about us. Itâs about her.â
With that, an uneasy truce was formed. But as they left the cafĂ©, both of them knew that the path ahead wouldnât be easy for any of them.
It was late afternoon when Y/N received the text message that left her staring at her phone, her pulse racing.
Seungmin: Meet us at the park near the swings. We need to talk.
The âusâ caught her off guard. She didnât need to ask who he meant she knew both Seungmin and Lee Know would be there.
Her stomach churned as she walked to the park, a thousand questions and scenarios racing through her mind. What could they possibly want to say together? The tension between the three of them had reached a breaking point, and she had no idea how this would go.
When she arrived, they were already there. Seungmin was sitting on one of the swings, his expression neutral but his shoulders tense. Lee Know stood a few feet away, leaning against the frame of the swing set with his arms crossed.
âY/N,â Seungmin said as she approached. His voice was calm, but there was a seriousness to it that made her chest tighten.
âHey,â she said softly, looking between them. âWhatâs going on?â
Lee Know straightened, stepping closer. âWeâve been talking, and we think itâs time we figure out where we all stand.â
Her heart sank. âI⊠Iâm still not ready to choose,â she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
âWe know,â Seungmin said, his tone gentle. âThatâs why weâve come up with a different idea.â
Y/N frowned, her gaze darting between them. âWhat do you mean?â
Lee Know glanced at Seungmin before speaking. âWeâve decided to stop pressuring you to choose between us. Instead⊠weâre willing to share.â
She blinked, sure she had misheard. âWhat?â
âWeâre giving you the choice to spend time with both of us,â Seungmin explained. âNo more arguments, no more fighting. You donât have to feel like youâre stuck in the middle.â
Y/N stared at them, her mind reeling. âYouâre serious?â
Lee Know nodded. âWe talked about it. And while itâs not ideal for either of us, itâs better than making you feel like youâre being torn apart.â
Her breath caught as she processed their words. She couldnât deny that part of her felt relieved they were giving her space to figure things out without the added pressure of making an immediate decision. But another part of her felt uneasy.
âWhat if this doesnât work?â she asked hesitantly.
Seungminâs expression softened. âThen we deal with it when the time comes. But we think itâs worth trying, for your sake.â
Y/N looked down at the ground, her emotions swirling. She had never imagined this kind of arrangement, but knowing they were willing to put aside their rivalry for her made her chest ache with a strange mix of gratitude and guilt.
âI⊠I donât know what to say,â she admitted.
âYou donât have to say anything right now,â Lee Know said, his voice gentler than she had ever heard it. âJust think about it. Weâll give you the time and space you need.â
She nodded, still unsure how to feel. âOkay. Iâll think about it.â
Seungmin gave her a small smile. âThatâs all weâre asking.â
Lee Know stepped closer, his gaze locking with hers. âJust know that we both care about you, Y/N. And weâre willing to do whatever it takes to make this work.â
Her heart clenched at the sincerity in his voice, and for a moment, she felt the weight of their emotions pressing down on her.
As they walked her home that evening, the uneasy truce between them held. But Y/N couldnât help wondering how long it would last and what it would mean for all of them moving forward.
The next morning, Y/N woke up with a headache. Sleep had been elusive, her mind consumed by the conversation with Seungmin and Lee Know. Their proposal played over and over in her head like a looping film.
Share them?
The idea felt surreal, almost absurd. But the more she thought about it, the more sense it made. She cared deeply for both of themâshe couldnât deny that. Seungmin had been her rock for years, a constant in her life who knew her inside and out. And then there was Lee Know, who had quietly slipped into her heart with his relentless devotion and tender moments.
She groaned, rolling over in bed and staring at the ceiling. This wasnât how love was supposed to work. Love was supposed to be simpleâtwo people, one connection. But somehow, her heart had made room for both of them, and now she was faced with a choice she wasnât ready to make.
By noon, she was pacing her room, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The idea of seeing them both, of not having to make an immediate decision, felt like a lifeline. But it also felt like walking a tightrope, one wrong step away from disaster.
Her phone buzzed on the desk, breaking her thoughts. She hesitated before picking it up, her breath catching when she saw the message.
Seungmin: No pressure, but have you thought about what we talked about?
Almost immediately, another message popped up.
Lee Know: Hey, just checking in. Hope youâre doing okay.
Y/N stared at the messages, her chest tightening. They were giving her space, just as they had promised, but she could feel their emotions lingering between the lines.
Taking a deep breath, she typed out a reply.
Y/N: Can we meet at the park? Iâve made my decision.
Her heart pounded as she hit send, the weight of her choice sinking in.
An hour later, she stood by the swings, waiting for them. The crisp autumn air nipped at her cheeks, but she barely felt it, her nerves keeping her warm.
Seungmin arrived first, his expression calm but his eyes searching hers. Lee Know appeared moments later, his usual confidence softened by what looked like worry.
âSo?â Seungmin asked gently, breaking the silence. âWhatâs your decision?â
Y/N took a deep breath, her hands gripping the hem of her sweater. âIâve been thinking a lot about what you both said. And⊠I want to try this. Sharing time with both of you.â
Lee Know blinked, his lips parting slightly in surprise. Seungmin raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable.
âI know itâs not conventional,â Y/N continued quickly, her words tumbling out. âBut I care about both of you, and I donât want to hurt either of you. This⊠this feels like the only way to figure things out without losing someone I love.â
There was a beat of silence before Lee Knowâs lips curved into a small smile. âSo, youâre saying you want both of us?â
âDonât make it weird,â Y/N said, her cheeks flushing.
Seungmin chuckled softly, shaking his head. âItâs definitely weird, but⊠if this is what you want, Iâll try.â
Lee Know nodded, his gaze softening. âSame. For you, Iâll try.â
Relief washed over her, and for the first time in days, she felt like she could breathe again.
âThank you,â she said quietly, looking between them. âBoth of you.â
As the three of them walked away from the swings together, Y/N couldnât help but feel a strange sense of hope. It wasnât the perfect solution, but it was theirs.
And for now, that was enough.
She kisses them both on the cheek and they both smile and blush.
Weeks passed, and to Y/Nâs surprise, the unconventional arrangement began to work. She had worried endlessly about how Seungmin and Lee Know would manage to coexist, let alone get along, but the two of them had exceeded her expectations.
At first, there were small gestures of compromise. Seungmin stopped throwing passive aggressive remarks Lee Knowâs way, and Lee Know refrained from his usual smug grins whenever Y/N chose to spend time with him. They had even started talking short conversations at first, usually about her, but over time, their interactions grew less tense and more natural.
The three of them developed an great relationship . Y/N divided her time evenly, and both boys respected the boundaries theyâd set. What surprised her most was how much Seungmin and Lee Know seemed to enjoy each otherâs company when they werenât focused on her.
One sunny afternoon, the three of them were at the park, sprawled out on a large picnic blanket under the shade of a tree. Y/N had brought sandwiches and snacks, and the boys had brought their usual banter.
âOkay, but you have to admit, my dog is better trained than your cat.â Seungmin said, smirking at Lee Know as he reached for a bag of chips.
âBetter trained?â Lee Know scoffed. âYour dog couldnât even sit still when we went to the cafĂ© last week. Dori would never embarrass me like that.â
Y/N laughed, watching them bicker. It was strange how normal this had become sitting between them, watching their playful arguments, feeling the peace that had settled over their dynamic.
âSheâs probably sick of us talking about pets,â Seungmin said, turning to Y/N with a teasing smile. âRight?â
âNot at all,â she said, grinning. âIâm just waiting to see who wins.â
âItâs obviously me,â Lee Know said confidently, leaning back on his hands. âDori is a model citizen.â
âKeep telling yourself that,â Seungmin replied with a chuckle.
As the afternoon went on, Y/N found herself marveling at how far they had come. A month ago, the idea of Seungmin and Lee Know sharing anything, let alone a girlfriend, would have been laughable. But now, they were sitting side by side, teasing each other like old friends.
Later, as they walked back to her house, Seungmin and Lee Know fell into a discussion about soccer, their voices animated as they debated the skills of different players. Y/N trailed behind them, her heart swelling at the sight.
For the first time in weeks, she felt like everything was exactly as it should be.

This meta by @conundrumoftime is worth a read or several reads. It made me re-evaluate Sauron and Galadriel's entire dynamic throughout the Third Age.
Up until now, I had been thinking of their push and pull equation from a perspective of Galadriel being on the defensive and holding Sauron back from seeing her after shutting the door for good.
But what I overlooked was that he was practically defenseless against her. He could never shut the door even if he wanted to. Even if her intrusions drove him to madness.
Not being able to see Galadriel forever would have hurt no doubt; not being able to put up any barriers against her would have been akin to salt on the already festering wound.
She could come in and leave any time she pleases to and he couldn't do the same to her. It was not even that his ties with her were completely severed but rather she held the strings in her hand. The more he saw of her and the more severe addiction would have become and it would have been mightily frustrating because he could only savour her company in little doses whenever she willed it and would have been left craving for more. Instead of leaving his side, she stayed and became a thorn that could never be dislodged. No wonder, his obsession to breach the walls she had put up, to see her and her thoughts intensified with each moment. No wonder he needed the One more than ever. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sauron's attitude whenever Galadriel was concerned in the Third Age would be somewhat similar to Gollum's feelings whenever the One Ring was in picture.
It just makes their relationship more twisted and attractive. For millennia, the two of them were engaged in a game which hurt them both and,yet, proved to be delightful.
Perhaps when Galadriel finally rejects the One and realises that it's on a path to be destroyed, she is taken over by melancholy not only at the impending farewell that will have to be said to Middle Earth but also because the 'game' which she had been engaged in every day, every moment and got habituated to will stop forever. There will be no more trysts in the mind palace. No more will she hear his voice. No more can she reach out to him whenever she wants to.
Whenever I used to imagine the final scene of TRoP, I thought it would end with the door being shut. But picture this. Sauron has been defeated by the Last Alliance and weakened. He is trying to recuperate. During this moment, he gets an unexpected visitor. Someone whom he thought he would never see again. Whether she derides him or pities him is left to imagination. But she promises him it is not the last they have seen of each other.

"Why did you leave Connor behind to die?" Nines questioned. His eyes narrowed with barely disguised anger. Voice low to avoid disturbing Connor who was in emergency stasis in the other room.
"We didn't leave him behind. He chose to stay behind so we could escape," Markus retorted. "Look, Nines, I don't know what preconceptions you have of me, but I want to make one thing abundantly clear. I care about Connor, too."
"You left him to face dozen of armed guards alone."
"I didn't ask Connor to stay behind. Connor asked me to trust him to take care of it. So I did. I trust Connor's judgement. He's done the impossible on multiple occasions every since the day he deviated those androids at Cyberlife Tower. So if he insists, I will trust his decision. I wouldn't have left him alone otherwise."
Nines stilled as he processed what Markus was saying. He had assumed that Markus had placed more value in his life over Connor's. But it seems that wasn't the case. His and Markus' perception of Connor just differed.
To Markus and the other Jericho leaders, Connor was Cyberlife's (formerly) newest and most advanced android. He was the unkillable deviant hunter. The deviant that always accomplished his mission. They didn't see Connor the way Nines did.
Connor was all of those things: capable and efficient. But he was also reckless to a fault. Willing to sacrifice himself over and over for the sake of the mission. Overly confident in his abilities. Always assuming he can beat the statistical odds and succeed even if there is a 99% chance of failure.
The problem wasn't that they didn't care about Connor. The problem was they trusted him too much.
sorry just had to get this lil brain worm out of my head. i have rk1700 on the mind and thinking about nines just being overly protective of connor. i headcanon that the jericrew's perception of connor is that he's ultra capable so he doesn't need protecting. i mean he literally infiltrated cyberlife alone and succeeded. ofc they assume if he says he can do something that he'll do it. meanwhile, nines knows connor's limitations and his recklessness. nines considers the rk800 line much more fragile when compared to the rk900 so he takes it upon himself to protect connor himself since the jericrew thinks he doesn't needs it and connor sure as hell isn't gonna ask for it. anyway, hope you liked my rambling.
#look at me writing something that is vaguely both rk1700 and rk1k somehow (its cause deep down i ship rk1900)#i wrote more but like i just really didn't know where to go with the scene so you get this short little piece#dbh fanfic#dbh headcanons#mine#dbh nines#nines rk900#dbh rk900#dbh connor#connor rk800#dbh markus#markus rk200#detroit: become human#detroit become human#dbh#d:bh

Holly Jolly Christmas
Summary: Your first Christmas with the Heart Pirates leads you out on deck for a few moments alone, only to be joined by your captain making sure you're okay.
Note: Just wanted to write something like this, Reader needing to step away to get their feelings in check and Law being willing to listen. :) Again, SORRY IT'S SO LATE. I went to see Sonic 3 this morning after church and it threw my whole day off. (:
âOh come on, stay inside with us! Itâs chilly out there!â
âIâll be fine, Ikkaku, I just need some air!â
She rolls her eyes at you but doesnât fight, instead being pulled away by Shachi for a dance while you laugh and step outside to the deck of the Polar Tang, taking a breath and feeling at ease. The holiday party your crewmates were throwing was starting to overwhelm you, a small break is all you need, some fresh air and the chance to collect yourself. Itâs still hard to believe this is your life sometimes, that youâre a member of this crew and have friends that care about you, including a captain that wants you to stay safe. People who like and want you around, itâs so different from before.
Your first year with the Heart Pirates was coming to an end, right at Christmas time too. Never in your wildest dreams did you ever think a pirate captain would request you to join them after seeing you protect yourself from some robbers on your home island, you just wanted to be able to eat that night and keep your hard-earned money from them. Apparently it was enough that day to convince Law you would be a good addition to his crew, for some reason you felt like you couldnât say no even though he didnât scare you or anything. It felt like something told you that day to go, not like you had anyone to return to at home anyway. Most people on your home island tolerates you enough to pay you for small jobs, but no one cared when you left, youâre sure of that.
It didnât matter though, once you were introduced to everyone, they all took a quick liking to you and showed you the ropes, taught you how the ship worked and everything youâd need to know for life as a Heart Pirate. You learned everything as quickly as you could, you didnât want to be seen and burden or dead weight on the crew, and not one of your new friends thought that about you, they all gave Law good reports when theyâd help you with anything.
Youâre grateful for everything thatâs happened the last year, watching your crewmates have fun tonight and enjoy themselves. Itâs really like having a family again.
âThere a reason youâre out here alone?â
Hearing Lawâs voice just makes you smile at him over your shoulder, before he joins you leaning against the railing. Of course heâd find you, heâs very good at that lately. Sometimes it feels like he's actively seeking you out, though that could just be wishful thinking.
âI just needed some air, captain.â
âYou donât have to call me that when itâs just us, Iâve told you that,â Law rolls his eyes while you giggle at him, âDoing okay?â
You nod with a small hum, you know he wonât press too hard to find out whatâs going on, he already knows everything about you. Law never pushed but always listened when you wanted to talk about your previous life, when he noticed you werenât doing well one day and it ended in you sobbing in his arms for hours about your lost family. He was awkward about it but didnât make you leave until you were calm again, it made him realize there was more that you hadnât told him at that point.
You two were more alike than Law ever expected when he brought you on.
âI need to thank you, Law,â he looks over to you with furrowed brows, but youâre not even looking at him, âIf you all hadnât shown up last year, I probablyââ
âEnough, you donât have to thank me again.â
You laugh with a nod as Law rolls his eyes once again, before you reach over and hug him. Itâs taken some time but youâve gotten Law used to these random hugs, heâs even started returning them like he does now.
âStill though, Iâm gratefulâŠgetting to know all of you and feel like I belong somewhere againâŠthank you for saving me, captain.â
ââŠweâre all glad to have you here.â
You both stay like that for a while, even though itâs cold out and you know Law will want you inside shortly to get warm again. Â But these moments with just the two of you are rare, some people would question your relationship if itâs just captain and subordinate or something else there, but youâre happy with where the two of you are.
âAll right, you lovebirds, everyoneâs waiting for you to do Secret Santa already!â
The two of you almost up away from each other, Law giving Penguin a glare while you look away, your older crewmate having a smirk on his face.
âI wonât tell anyone, donât worry. But really, come on! Everyone wants to open gifts!â
âFine,â Law sighs, waving Penguin and keeping a hand on your shoulder, âWeâll be there in a moment.â
âSure thing, cap!â
Penguin runs off to get everyone ready, leaving you and Law alone against. Heâs obviously annoyed but it makes you smile anyway. It might be more than either of you are ready for, but you grab his hand and starts walking back into the Polar Tang.
âBetter not keep everyone waiting, right, Law?â
âYeahâŠguess soâŠâ
Youâll tease him about the light blush on his face later, but tonight, youâll keep the smile he gives you later on to yourself, and the fact you were his Secret Santa will be your personal secret until Law questions you about it.
Youâre the only one who couldâve given him those coins from your home island anyway.

ok so this Tim's stuck in B's body
He made sure he was alone in a batcave, he knew he was alone. he didn't want to lose it, and yet, here he was. it's been too much. burying his own body. dealing with never seeing, or, at least, interacting with his friends ever again. becoming a father to his siblings, to Damian, which probably was already way too much. so he sat there. alone. going through it, because in the evening there was supposed to be a gala, and he would have to play Brucie, the role he genuinely hated.
He was alone, he didn't account for someone being there.
"Tim," Dick said softly, and it took everything from Tim to not whip around.
"He is dead, you need to accept it," he said, now grateful for Bruce's gruff voice. Hating that it sounds so deep inside of him.
"I've been around Bruce for twenty years," Dick leant on the Batcomputer table. He was in his civilian attire, "Do you really think I wouldn't notice?" there was a soft smile on his lips, and Tim felt, like he wanted to cry. He didn't.
Maybe he should keep a charade. Keep acting like he's Bruce.
"And even if I'm mistaken," he said, looking away towards the entrance to the mansion. "I"m always willing to give you a hand in case everything is too overwhelming after his death."
Tim didn't feel better, he only could go through his actions in panic, thinking what exactly set Dick off, he needed to fix it, to keep pretending he's Bruce, that's the only way.
"So if you can't deal with the whole plate, I'll help you. I'm just from Damian's teacher-parent meeting, by the way," Tim forgot, Bruce forgot, oh gosh, he forgot. "They still have my phone as their first contact," Dick huffed, like it was funny, like it wasn't a failure on Bruce's - Tim's? - part. "And I can go out as a Bat if you don't feel like it."
"You hate it though," Tim said, it wasn't something Bruce would say.
"You hate it more, baby bird," Dick said and pushed himself off the table. "If anything, I'll get ready for today's gala, I'll tell everyone you don't feel well."
Tim wanted to say something, he needed to say something, but when he turned around Dick wasn't there.
That was probably the worst time to get his hallucinations back, wasn't it.
(let's not make it that angsty and just have it as Dick actually came, but Tim dissociated for awhile, and thought Dick disappeared into the thin air)
Here's one(?) of the posts referencing this AU!
This ask focuses on the premise that Bruce and Tim switch bodies, don't tell anyone, and then Bruce dies in Tim's body forever trapping Tim in Bruce's body (while no one else knows).
This is magnificent, my friend. A beautiful addition.
I like making Tim suffer through his problems alone, but you are absolutely correct.
Out of all of the batkids, Dick *would* know Bruce best (unless it's Bruce *about* Dick). It makes perfect sense for him to notice that Bruce isn't acting like Bruce would.
There are reasons he wouldn't notice (he's busy, out of town, distracted, Tim planned for that, or Dick is grieving/spiraling), but it's more likely that Dick would notice than not.
Also, can you imagine the conversations they'd have? The debates? Is it better to let their family members know that *Tim* is inhibiting Bruce's body or to let them grieve Tim instead? Just Dick and Tim constantly fighting about what's best
[Including a very painful remark from Dick about how Tim is turning into Bruce because the younger one refuses to let anyone else know]
Anyways, this could result in Dick supporting Tim and being there for him.
On the other hand, here's some angst ideas instead:
Tim starts hallucinating more to deal with his loss of identity meaning that Dick was just a hallucination (and soon Tim starts seeing both himself and Bruce haunting him)
Dick knows that whoever is wearing his dad's face *isn't* Bruce, but he doesn't realize it's Tim (especially because Tim is "dead" and Bruce is "missing").
When Bruce dies in Tim's body, Bruce's soul returns to his body but Tim stays stuck in there as well :D
When Tim's body dies, Bruce's body starts to slowly deteriorate without Bruce's soul
I think that's enough angst for now :)

Every time youâd close your eyes, all you would see is THAT: Seokjin Kim, sitting in his chair, stroking his cock with slow, deliberate motions, his face caught somewhere between bliss and control while a virtual audience eagerly watched.
Oh god, what the fuck did you get yourself into?Â
You canât just continue living here like you didnât see that.
Absolutely no wayâ
âDid you get a good sleep last night?â
The sound of Seokjinâs voice slices through the chaotic mind-fuck cluster of your thoughts, dragging you back to the present. You blink, startled, your mind scrambling for somethingâanythingâto say.
âHuh? Oh, yeah, it wasâŠnice,â you reply, though your tone is as flat as week-old opened grapefruit Spin Drift youâve left out on the counter countless times in the past.
Seokjin chuckles, leaning against the counter with his arms crossed, giving you a knowing look. âThat doesnât sound very convincing,â he remarks before turning back toward the kitchen. You watch him as he grabs a carton of eggs, a frying pan, and other utensils with easy confidence, as though nothing is out of the ordinary.
Meanwhile, your head is spinning.
Does he have any idea what you saw? No, of course not. How could he? You clutch your mug of coffee tighter, willing yourself to keep calm and act normal, even though ânormalâ feels like a foreign concept right now.
Seokjin cracks an egg against the side of the pan with one hand, a skill that feels unnecessarily showy, and tosses the shell in the trash without missing a beat. âSo, whatâs your plan for today?â
âMy plan?âÂ
âYeah, you know. Moving in, settling down. Unpacking those boxes.â He gestures with the spatula toward the pile of boxes you had left in the living room yesterday. âOr are you just going to live out of them for the next few months?â
You force out a weak laugh, trying to mask your unease. âIâll get to them soon. Or well, eventually.â
Seokjin glances at you over his shoulder, his expression unreadable. âYeah, you sure youâre okay? You seem⊠distracted.â
Distracted? Thatâs putting it lightly. You practically choked on your own thoughts all night, trying to process what youâd stumbled upon. Now here he is, looking every bit as composed and charming as ever, completely unaware of how heâs upended your mental state.
âJust a lot on my mind from the shit Iâve been going through,â you say vaguely, hoping heâll just think about what youâve previously told him and wonât press further.
âFair enough,â he replies, flipping the eggs in the pan with a practiced flick of his wrist. âBy the way, if you need anything for your room, feel free to let me know. Iâve got some spare furniture in storage if you need extra shelves or whatever.â
âThanks,â you mumble, staring at your coffee as if it holds the answers to your predicament.
You spend the rest of breakfast in tense silence, with Seokjin humming softly to himself as he cooks. Every so often, you catch yourself stealing a glance at himâhis broad shoulders, the black t-shirt that loosely fits his body, his easy movements, the way his hair falls messily over his forehead. And every time, your mind cruelly throws you back to that image from last night.
You barely touch your toast, and when Seokjin finally sets his plate in the sink and announces heâs heading out to work in the office since he has some meetings later this afternoon, you feel a wave of relief so strong itâs almost embarrassing.
As the front door clicks shut behind him, you slump against the counter, exhaling a breath you hadnât realized you were holding.
What are you going to do? How are you supposed to face him every day without your mind going there?
If thereâs anything that helps clear your mind, itâs organizing. The chaos of your thoughts seems to calm when youâre sorting, categorizing, and arranging. And thank god you have a lot of that to do right now with all the boxes cluttering your room and spilling into the living room.
Determined to regain some sense of control, you dive into it. First, the essentialsâclothing, toiletries, and the work necessities you hope to use again someday. You find a rhythm: open, sort, fold, stack, repeat. The act becomes a form of meditation, letting you focus on the task rather than⊠other things.
After about two hours, just as youâre folding a stack of sweaters, your phone buzzes with an incoming FaceTime call. Your dear best friend Yunjinâs photo flashes across the screen.
You swipe to answer, her bright, cheerful face filling the screen instantly.
âHey girl!!â she chirps, holding her phone up at an angle that shows a bustling street lined with shops and people.
âHey, Yunjin!â you say, unable to hide your grin. âHavenât seen your beautiful face in awhile. What are you up to?â
âIâm out shopping in Japantown,â she says, spinning her phone around to give you a quick view of colorful storefronts and an adorable bakery. âAnd I saw this cute Moomin plush keychain. It reminded me of you, so Iâm gonna gift it you!â
A Gift?!Â
Your eyes widen. âN-No! Itâs fine!â
Yunjinâs smile doesnât falter. âOh, stop it. I want to. Plus, itâll give me an excuse to go visit you.â Yunjin lives a couple of hours away from you, so you donât get to see her as often as you used to during college.
Despite her kindness, you feel a pang of guilt. Being unemployed has left you hyperaware of money, and the idea of your friend spending her hard-earned cash on youâwithout expecting anything in returnâfeels unbearable. But thatâs just how she is. Thatâs justâŠYunny.
âReally, you donât have to,â you say, even as a part of you knows arguing with her is pointless.
âToo late!â she sing-songs, flipping the camera around to show the tiny Moomin plush with its sweet little face and scarf. âTell me this isnât so you.â
It is. It absolutely is.
You sigh, shaking your head but unable to keep from smiling. âOkay, fine. But at least let me treat you to a coffee.â
âDeal,â Yunjin says with a wink before turning the camera back to her. âSo, howâs it going with your new place? Settling in okay?â
Your mind flashes to Seokjin, to the events of last night, and you swallow hard. âUh, yeah. Itâs⊠nice. Just getting things sorted.â
Yunjin squints at the screen, her expression turning suspicious. âYou sound weird. Whatâs going on?â
Should you tell her? Absolutely not. Sheâd think the whole situation was bizarreâand worse, sheâd probably call you weird for sticking around to watch him do that. You quickly decide to change the topic.
âYunny, is there really no way I can stay with you for a bit of time?â you groan, leaning against the pile of clothes youâd been folding.
Yunjinâs brow furrows. âOh, why? You donât like your new place?â
âItâs⊠fine,â you hedge, glancing toward your door as if Jin might somehow overhear. âI just⊠I donât know. Itâd be nice to have you around again like old times.â
The truth is, you donât want to leave this city. Itâs the only place where the kind of opportunities youâre looking for exist. And besides, you love it hereâthe energy, the atmosphere, the food scene. Nothing else in or out of state even comes close.
But if moving meant getting away from the strange situation youâve landed yourself in, maybe youâd consider it.
âUh, well, sadly, no,â Yunjin says with a slight pout. âI thought one of my housemates was moving out to live with her boyfriend, but it looks like that was all talk. Sheâs staying put for now. They probably wouldnât be okay with temporary couch surfing either.â
That makes sense.
âOh,â you reply, deflated. âOkay.â
âHmm.â Yunjin narrows her eyes, clearly unconvinced, but thankfully, she doesnât press further. âWell, I canât wait to see your new place. Weâll do a housewarming soon, okay?â
âYeah, definitely,â you say, nodding along, though the thought of hosting a gathering here makes your stomach twist. How exactly would you explain Seokjinâs... side hustle to anyone if they happened to find out?
âAlright, Iâve gotta go,â Yunjin says, the bustling noise behind her growing louder. âIâm supposed to get lunch with Hanni and Stephen. Love you!â
âLove you too,â you reply, waving at the screen before the call ends.
You set your phone down, a mix of warmth and guilt settling over you. Itâs comforting to know Yunjin has your back, but it also serves as a painful reminder of how far youâve fallen. No job, no stability, and now living with a guy who⊠well.
You shake your head, refusing to let yourself spiral. Thereâs too much to do, too many boxes to unpack. For now, you focus on the small winsâfolding clothes, sorting books, reclaiming a sense of order.
One step at a time.
You throw yourself into unpacking and organizing, letting the steady rhythm of your tasks distract you from your swirling thoughts. The hours slip by as you arrange books on shelves, hang up clothes, and shuffle boxes around to make the room feel less like a storage unit and more like a home.
By the time the sun begins to dip lower in the sky, youâve made solid progress. Your room is starting to look presentableâcozy, even. The hum of activity keeps your mind occupied, though every now and then, stray thoughts about last night sneak in.
The sound of the front door unlocking jolts you out of your reverie. A moment later, Seokjin walks in, dressed in business attire, his tie slightly loosened and his hair tousled in that effortlessly charming way that makes it clear why his stream fans are obsessed with him.
âHey,â he says, offering a small smile as he sets his bag on the counter. âHow was your day?â
âIt was good,â you reply, wiping your dust-covered hands on your jeans. âGot most of my stuff sorted out.â
He glances toward your room and nods approvingly. âNice. Looks like youâve been busy.â
âYeah, I figured Iâd get it all done before it starts to feel like a chore.â
Seokjin chuckles as he loosens his tie completely and drapes it over a chair. âSmart move. I should probably take a page out of your book. My closetâs a disaster zone right now.â
âReally?â you ask, raising an eyebrow. âYou donât strike me as the messy type.â
He shrugs, pulling open the fridge to grab a bottle of water. âItâs organized chaos. I know where everything is⊠mostly.â
You laugh softly, some of the tension youâd been holding onto easing as the conversation flows naturally. For the first time since last night, you donât feel quite so on edge around him.
âAnyway,â he says, taking a sip of water and leaning against the counter, âIâm gonna change out of this and make something for dinner. You hungry?â
âStarving,â you admit, realizing you hadnât eaten much while caught up in organizing.
âCool. Give me like ten minutes,â he says with a grin, already heading toward his room.
As he disappears down the hallway, you let out another breath you didnât realize you were holding. Itâs going to take some time to feel normal here, but for now, small moments like this help.
Back to one step at a time.
Yes⊠one step at a time.
Jin reappears in casual clothesâsweatpants and a loose tee that somehow still manages to look good on himâand heads straight to the kitchen. You sit on the couch, doomscrolling on social media to consume random content to keep you busy in the meantime.
The comforting sound of clattering pots and pans fills the apartment, accompanied by the savory aroma of something delicious in the making.
When he calls out, âHope you like pasta carbonara,â you canât help but feel grateful heâs even making you food.Â
He doesnât have to do this, but itâs nice that he is.
He sets the steaming pan on top of a hot pad on the table, followed by two plates, forks, and a sprinkle of grated cheese in a small dish. âVoilĂ . Gourmet dining at its finest.â
This actually looks like high quality italian restaurant quality presentation.
You take a seat, eyeing the dish appreciatively. âWoah? Fancy. Do you cook like this all the time?â
He grins as he spoons a generous serving onto your plate. âNot always. I have a rotation: this, ramen, steak, kimchi jjigae, and⊠takeout. Lots of takeout.â
You laugh, grabbing your fork. âSounds somewhat balanced.â
âI try to keep it balanced but,â he agrees, twirling pasta onto his fork. âI also work out a bit too.â
âNice,âÂ
In your mind, youâre thinking âyeah, youâve seen him workout alrightâ
This is really going to eat at you at this rate.
The two of you eat in comfortable silence for a while, the rich, creamy flavors of the pasta doing wonders for your mood. It feels surreal to be sitting here, sharing a meal with someone who, just days ago, you were convinced would be a terrible roommate.
The meal is delicious, better than youâd expected. For a while, you let yourself get lost in the comforting simplicity of eatingâpasta twirling on your fork, the sauce aroma wafting up, the occasional clink of silverware against plates.
It feels⊠normal. Nice, even. But still, at the back of your mind, thereâs a quiet storm brewing.
The night before keeps replaying in your head, uninvited and intrusive, like a broken record you canât turn off. You glance at Seokjin as he eats, his features relaxed, his posture casual. How can he seem so normal when you know what he was doing less than 24 hours ago?
The mental tug-of-war begins: Should you just ignore it? Pretend it never happened? Orâ
âSo,â you blurt, interrupting your own thoughts, âwhat exactly do you do for work?â
Jin looks up, chewing thoughtfully before swallowing. âI work in marketing,â he says, reaching for his water.
You nod, encouraging him to continue. âMarketing forâŠ?â
He grins, sensing your peaked interest. âRiot Games. You know, the League of Legends company?â
Your eyes widen. âNo way! What! Thatâs so cool.â
Thatâs actually a pretty awesome career.
And so Seokjin of him.
âYeah, itâs pretty fun. A lot of campaigns and community engagement stuff. It keeps me busy, but I like it. Games have always been my thing.â
That part doesnât surprise you. Growing up, Jin was always glued to his Game Boy, computer or chattering about his latest high scores. This career seems like a natural fit for him.
âOf course, I remember that well,â you say, smiling. âAlso explains the gaming setup.â
âThe gaming setup?â Jin freezes for a fraction of a second, his fork hovering mid-air. His expression shifts from casual to guarded so quickly you almost miss it.
Shit.
You scramble to backtrack. âUh, I just mean⊠you seem like the type to have a cool gaming setup, you know? Dual monitors, fancy keyboard, maybe some LED lights?â
His shoulders relax slightly, though his eyes remain sharp, watching you closely. âHavenât shown you my room yet. Howâd you know?â
âI didnât,â you reply quickly, forcing a laugh. âItâs just a guess. I mean, come on, you work at Riot Games. Wouldnât you have the gear to match?â
Jin tilts his head, a playful smirk tugging at his lips before he leans back in his chair. âActually,â he says, his tone shifting slightly, âIâve been a bit shy to mention this, but⊠Iâm also a Twitch streamer.â
You already knew this from prior snooping, so you gotta act surprised.
Your fork pauses mid-air. âWoah? You are?â
He nods, a little sheepish now, which is a rare look for him. âYeah. My old roommate actually got me into it awhile back. It started as a way to unwind after work, but then it kinda⊠took off. Nothing crazy, but itâs been fun.â
You donât think that 200,000 followers is something to not be impressed about. That is a decently big audience for someone who hasnât been doing it for too long.
That sparks your curiosity. âReally? What do you stream?â
âWell, gaming mainly as you saw,â he says, shrugging. âSome League, Valorant⊠a bit of variety stuff when I feel like it. My audience isnât huge, but itâs a solid little community to talk with.â
Audience, right.
Your mind flashes back to last nightâthe setup, the webcam, the comments streaming on the screenâand your stomach tightens. He wanted to hide this from you but still has more to uncover, but heâs so good at hiding it. Well, at least until you caught him yesterday.
You try to keep your expression neutral as you ask, âIsnât it hard to balance with your job?â
Seokjin shakes his head. âNot really. Most of my streams are at night, after work. I mean, Iâm already up, so I might as well do something productive, right?â
Productive, you think, the word ricocheting in your head. If only he knewâŠ
âThatâs⊠really cool,â you manage, keeping your tone even. âDo you think youâll ever go full-time with it?â
He laughs, running a hand through his hair. âNah. I like streaming, but I donât think Iâd give up my day job for it. Itâs more of a side hustle, you know? Keeps me busy and entertained.â
âRight,â you say, nodding. âThat makes sense.â
âIâll have to show it to you some time. Maybe even let you try the setup if youâre into games.â
Oh?
âSure,â you say, nodding too eagerly. âThat sounds fun. Though Iâve always been a Nintendo girl,â
âI do recall, and thatâs fine by me. We could play Mario Kart!â
âThat sounds like a lot of fun, Jinââ
The word slips out naturally, before you even realize it. You freeze mid-sentence, your lips parting as the familiar nickname hangs awkwardly in the air. You havenât called him âJinâ since elementary school. It used to roll off your tongue back when you were kids, when he was just a goofy classmate you exchanged PokĂ©mon cards with and competed against in dodgeball. But ever since reconnecting as adults, youâve made a conscious effort to just refer to him by his full name, Seokjin. It felt more appropriate. More⊠grown-up.
And it created a boundary, which now feels undone by you calling him more casually. Curse you getting more comfortable with this man! His eyes widen slightly at the sound of it, his smile faltering for only a split second before softening into something warmer. âJin, huh?â he muses, raising an eyebrow. âHavenât heard you call me that in years.â
You swallow, cheeks warming as you try to play it off casually. âOh. Uh, sorryâ I justââ
âYou just what?â he teases gently, clearly enjoying your flustered state.
You groan, covering your face for a brief moment. âIt just slipped out, okay? Old habits die hard, I guess.â
âHmm.â His voice hums with amusement, and when you peek at him through your fingers, heâs looking at you with a fond expression that makes your stomach flip. âI donât mind it, you know. Kinda like it, actually.â
âYou like it?â
âYeah,â he says simply, shrugging. âItâs nostalgic.â
Thereâs a pause as the two of you exchange a quiet glance, something unspoken settling in the air between you. For a moment, you swear his gaze lingers on you just a little too long.
âWell,â you mutter, trying to brush off the sudden tension. âIf you donât mind it, I guess Iâll start calling you Jin again.â
His smile widens into something bright and genuine, then chuckles. âGood! Doesnât feel too weird anyways since my Twitch chat calls me Jin as well.â
And you were flustered over this for nothing.
The conversation moves on, but every time you say âJinâ, thereâs a flicker of something in his eyesâsomething you canât quite place. You ignore it though, as his dirty secret continues to gnaw at your mind more than whatever he must be thinking.
Glancing at him as he finishes his pasta, a soft hum escaping him as he collects the plates.
You retreat to your room, bidding Jin a casual goodnight as he mentions his plans for the evening. âGonna play some Elden Ring with my friends, and then stream a PokĂ©mon randomized Nuzlocke at nine,â he says, grinning. âIf you hear me yelling at any ungodly hour, just know itâs the RNG gods being cruel.â
âGood to know,â you reply with a small laugh before closing your door behind you.
Settling onto your bed, you decide to distract yourself with something immersiveâBakemonogatari. Itâs been on your list for a long time, and felt like now would be a good time to watch it. The animeâs intricate dialogue and surreal visuals immediately pull you in, though itâs hard to focus completely with lingering thoughts of Jin playing games only a few walls away.
You shake your head, forcing yourself to focus on the screen. As the narrative deepens and the subtitles demand your full attention, your eyelids grow heavier. Soon, the soft glow of the laptop screen and the soothing cadence of the voice acting lull you into a deep sleep.
A good sleep.
The kind of sleep youâve been craving after a long day of cleaning, unpacking, and organizingâa chance to reset and settle fully into this new chapter of your life.
Until a familiar sensation stirs you awake.
You blink blearily at the clock on your nightstand.
2:35 a.m.
DĂ©jĂ vu hits you like a freight train. The thirst pulls you out of bed, an undeniable urge. With a groggy sigh, you shuffle out of your room and make your way to the kitchen.
The dim light from the hallway guides you as you grab a water bottle from under the sink. The cool plastic feels grounding in your hand as you twist the cap open and take a long, satisfying sip.
Refreshed, you glance around. Itâs quiet, save for the faint hum of the fridge and the soft whir of your thoughts.
And then your gaze instinctively drifts toward Jinâs room again.
Not for the wrong reasons! you tell yourself defensively. Itâs just⊠youâre checking on him. Making sure heâs okay!
Right?
Your bare feet make the softest pats against the floor as you tiptoe a little closer to the hallway leading to Jinâs room. Sure enough, a familiar sliver of light leaks from the partially ajar door.
But somethingâs different this time.
You squint, leaning just enough to peek in.
There he is.
Seokjin sits cross-legged at his desk, headphones on, illuminated by the glow of his monitors. But instead of his usual casual attire or the polished look he had earlier, heâs wearing a pajama set. A blue pajama set covered in cartoon characters. The sight of him in something so unexpectedly cute throws you for a loop.
On the screen, the familiar pixelated world of Pokémon sprawls before him.
âOkay guys, I should end the live here,â he says cheerfully, his voice carrying through the quiet apartment. âBut Iâm almost at the Elite Four! This team I have right now is pretty solid, even if we lost Moon the Lunatone. Iâll get through the rival battle and stop there.â
Your jaw slackens.
Wait, what?
Whereâs the camwork? The NSFW content? The explicit⊠everything youâd stumbled upon last night?
Confusion swirls in your chest as you scurry back to your room, shutting the door as quietly as possible. You lean against it, clutching the water bottle in both hands as your mind races.
What is going on here?
Had you⊠imagined it? No, that couldnât be right. The vivid image of last night flashes through your mind unbidden, heat creeping up your neck as you recall every mortifying detail.
But now? Heâs just streaming a PokĂ©mon Nuzlocke like a completely normal, wholesome gamer.
Maybe you dreamed it�
You sit on the edge of your bed, clutching the water bottle as if itâs the only thing tethering you to reality.
Maybe you were just seeing things last night.
The thought plants itself firmly in your mind, and as much as you try to swat it away, it lingers. You were exhausted yesterday. Between moving, unpacking, and the emotional whirlwind of losing your job and your relationship, maybe your mind just⊠played tricks on you.
Yeah, that must be it.
Thereâs no way you actually saw Jin doing that.
You groan, burying your face in your hands. âOh god, Iâm losing it,â you mutter under your breath.
Still, the memory feels so vivid. The faint glow of his screen, his movements, the soft noisesâugh, stop it! You shake your head, desperate to push the images out of your mind.
But the scene you just witnessed tonight couldnât be more different. Jin was just⊠Jin. Cute pajama set, gaming setup, and an audience of what you assume were adoring fans cheering him on as he streamed his PokĂ©mon playthrough.
Totally innocent.
Totally normal.
You flop back onto your bed, staring up at the ceiling. Your chest tightens as you try to rationalize it all. Maybe the stress and lack of sleep made your brain concoct some wild scenario. After all, youâre in a new place with a guy you havenât seen since childhood. Maybe itâs just your subconscious working overtime as youâre lacking physical touch.
That has to be it, you convince yourself, pulling the blanket over your face.
And thatâs exactly what youâve convinced yourself to think.
Over two weeks have passed, and from the few times youâve stumbled out of bed late at night, you havenât encountered anything remotely similar to what you thought you saw on your first night here.
It became easier and easier to believe you hallucinated the whole thing.
Stress does crazy things to people, you told yourself. You just need to focus on your life.
Still, the faint embarrassment lingers every now and then, but itâs manageable. After all, youâve been busy with moving-in activities, refining your resume, and applying to jobs. Productivity has been your savior, keeping your mind occupied and away from thoughts of intimacyâsomething that feels uncomfortable ever since your last relationship ended in betrayal.
Order seems to have been restored.
Conversations with Seokjin (who you now refer to as Jin) have become more natural, the initial awkwardness dissipating as you become more comfortable with one another and youâve settled into a rhythm. You respect each otherâs spaces, and despite the occasional childish banter, the dynamic is easy, like good old friends reconnecting.
Youâve gone shopping together for groceries, evening outings to eat at a sit-in restaurant or even just go for a drive or walk to destress, which usually ends in getting ice cream or bubble tea.
Itâs oddly casual, but you donât mind that. This is how things should be now that youâre both adults.
Itâs a Thursday at noon when you hear the doorbell and find a large package waiting for Jin.Â
[You: Hey, there's a big package addressed to you at the door? Where should I put it?]
After texting him to ask where to leave it, he eventually responds:
[Jin: Ah, thanks for letting me know. I was waiting on that to come in. Jin:Just put it in my room if you donât mind!]
[You: Okay!]
And with that, you pick up the box and head toward his room.
It occurs to you as you step inside that this is your first time actually entering his space.
Jinâs room is, unsurprisingly, immaculateâspacious, well-organized, and undeniably him. The decor is a cute mix of his personality: shelves filled with gaming figures, an impressive collection of games, and stuffed animals of his favorite creatures scattered across the bed. Thereâs even a small shrine to Mario and Kirby in the corner that makes you grin.
You place the package on his bed as instructed and turn to leave, but something catches your eye.
His monitor.
The screen is still on, displaying a cluttered web browser with more tabs open than anyone should realistically have. You almost laugh at the chaos of itâthirty, maybe forty tabs?
But then your gaze lands on one in particular.
A small icon. A name.
Chaturbate.
Your heart skips a beat.
Oh. My. God.
Itâs like the carefully constructed world of denial youâve built over the past week shatters in an instant.
No way. No, no, no, this canât be?!
Your feet feel glued to the floor as your mind races. This canât be real. Why would Jin have that open? Wasnât it just a mistake that night? A fluke? A hallucination?!
And yet, here it is. Right in front of you.
Your stomach flips as hellâs gates open again, memories from that night rushing back in vivid detail.
Curiosity claws at you, relentless and insistent. You know you shouldnât, but the urge to know is overwhelming. If it really is what you think it is⊠then maybe, just maybe, you can confirm it and put this strange, lingering mystery to rest.
Your heart pounds in your chest as you step closer to the desk. The glow of the screen feels accusatory, like a spotlight shining on your guilt. This is so wrong, you think, but your hand still moves.
You nudge the mouse, waking the monitor from its idle dimness.
The browser window expands to full brightness, revealing the countless tabs more clearly now. You spot the one labeled Chaturbate. Your fingers hover over the mouse, trembling slightly, and before you can talk yourself out of it, you click.
The page loads immediately.
And there it is.
The profile is still open, though itâs not broadcasting live. A banner at the top reads: "Offline â Streams Scheduled 3x a month. Next stream: Tonight at 1:30AM."
The alias catches your eye immediately, bold and unmistakable at the top of the page: "BigTunaManXOXO"
Big Tuna Man?
You have to chuckle, though the sound feels unnatural in the stillness of the room. Well, he did mention he likes tuna when you two had sushi two days ago. You shake your head in disbelief at how absurd the situation is.
Scrolling a little more, your heart races as the tags and content descriptions appear on the screen. Tags like casual play, NSFW, punishment, and even interactive fill the list, confirming everything you fearedâand hopedâwas true.
What did you expect? you think, eyes scanning the content. His previous streams, unlocked for paid viewers, show glimpses of what you had seenâshirtless moments, fan interactions, and those subtle teases. Some comments from regular viewers flash on the screen: "Youâre so cute, Big Tuna. Gonna get your next stream tonight?"
A pit forms in your stomach as you scroll further, seeing the balance of gaming content mixed with something... different. There are a few VODs, some marked with glowing red icons and some tagged with things like solo play, toys, edging and private sessions. Your breath catches in your throat as you click on one of the unlocked streams. It starts to load, and before you can stop yourself, youâre staring at a past broadcast.
Seokjin.
In a black Alo Yoga hoodie and 5â inseam black shorts. The camera angle is different now, the lighting softer, more intimate. His voice comes through clearly, playful, teasing. You watch as he interacts with the chat, joking around with his viewers, and then... he moves the camera just enough that you can see the lower half of his face for a momentâbarely anything though, but enough to confirm itâs him to you, who has been seeing him every day since you moved in with him.
His usual smile is replaced by something softer, more relaxed, more... flirty.
And then, there it is.
The content, the movementâjust like you saw that first night. The subtle, slow gestures that make everything come rushing back, and for a moment, you forget to breathe.
You harshly click the tab shut, returning to the previous tab it once was. Quickly, you leave Jinâs room, making sure not to disturb anything else. The echo of the laptop snapping shut still rings in your ears, and your hands are trembling slightly as you step back into the hallway.
You hope it doesnât look like you lingered too long. The last thing you need is for him to know you were snooping around, even accidentally. You slip back into your own room, shutting the door behind you, and lean against it, exhaling shakily.
This is too much.
You now have undeniable proof. Solid, irrefutable evidence that the man youâre living with, sharing meals with, and chatting about PokĂ©mon and pasta with... is a cam boy. A cam boy doing porn and whoâs managed to keep this side hustle hidden under layers of casual charm and everyday normalcy.
Itâs not the fact that he does that kind of work that bothers you, not at all. If anything, itâs more⊠personal than that⊠The memory of what you sawâhis expressions, his movementsâlingers in your mind like an unshakable phantom, making your body feel uncomfortably warm and restless. You sink onto your bed, burying your face in your hands as if that will somehow erase the imagery burned into your brain.
Get it together, you tell yourself.
But curiosityâitâs a relentless beast. The harder you try to shove it down, the more insistent it becomes. Questions start to pile up, each one more intrusive than the last.
Does anyone recognize him? Do his fans know?
You grab your phone, desperate for answers, and open Reddit. If thereâs one place on the internet where secrets canât stay buried, itâs here. Your fingers fly across the keyboard as you type: Gamer Jin and BigTunaManXOXO Reddit.
The search yields only two results. Two. A drop in the ocean of online gossip and speculation, yet still enough to send your heart into overdrive.
You tap the first thread: âJin and BigTunaManXOXO: Double Life?â
The original posterâs comment pulls you in instantly:
âOkay, is it just me, or doesnât he sound like this cam boy BigTunaManXOXO? Literally has the same voice, same mannerisms... someone tell me Iâm not crazy.â
The replies are a mix of disbelief, humor, and outright denial. Some users dismiss the theory as absurd, calling it disrespectful to Jin. Others joke about the sheer randomness of the comparison, adding memes and GIFs for good measure.
But a small minority entertains the possibility.
âI mean⊠Iâve seen his streams. The way he laughs does sound kinda similarâŠâ
âI donât think itâs him, but if it were, that would be WILD.â
One reply makes your stomach churn:
âNot saying itâs him, but I subscribed to BigTunaManXOXO just to fantasize about him being Jin. No regrets.â
You stare at the screen, your mind spinning. The majority of commenters donât believe the theory, dismissing it as pure coincidence. But they have no idea how close they are to the truth.
And now, neither can you unsee it.
Seokjin arrived home that evening with a bright smile and the unmistakable aroma of takeout wafting through the apartment. The bags he carried crinkled as he shifted them in his arms, his voice ringing out cheerfully, âGuess what I got? Bao buns! And a few other things, but mostly the bao bunsâbecause I remembered you mentioned them earlier this week.â
You hear a knock at your door a moment later, and you pause, nerves prickling under your skin. You take a deep breath, steadying yourself before opening it. Seokjin stands there, still dressed in his work clothes but with his usual easygoing grin.
âDinnerâs here. Come eat,â he says, gesturing toward the living room with the bags.
You nod, smiling back, though it feels a little forced. âThanks, Jin. Thatâs really thoughtful of you.â
His sharp eyes linger on you for a beat too long, and you know heâs caught the slight edge in your tone, the nervous way youâre holding the door. He doesnât say anything, but his expression shiftsâsubtle, curious. He doesnât push, though; thatâs not his style.
Instead, he leans back casually and adds, âI figured we could eat and watch something. Maybe an old favorite of yours?â He raises a brow, the corners of his lips tugging upward knowingly. âBleach? I noticed you have some merch on your bookshelf.â
Your heart skips a beat, both from the thoughtful gesture and the fact that Seokjinâs perceptiveness always seems to catch you off guard. Does he see right through me? Does he know what I found?
âBleach sounds good,â you say quickly, hoping to steady yourself. âLet me just grab something, and Iâll meet you in the living room.â
âCool,â he says, his voice calm but tinged with something elseâmaybe a touch of inquisition. He walks off toward the kitchen, leaving you alone for a moment.
You close the door softly, leaning your head against it. Why does he have to be soâŠâyou search for the right wordâattentive? Itâs like he has a radar for when somethingâs wrong. And now, dinner and your childhood favorite anime feel like a test of your ability to act normal.
A few minutes later, you join him in the living room. The coffee table is already set with the takeout containers: bao buns, lo mein, orange chicken, and fried rice. Jin is on the couch, flipping through streaming options until he lands on Bleach. He looks up and pats the cushion next to him.
âSit. I already started the episode where Ichigo reunites with Rukia and the other Gotei 13 soul reapers. Start of my favorite arcs.â
You sit, the warm scent of the food making your stomach growl despite the anxious knot twisting inside you. Seokjin slides a plate toward you, and the two of you settle into a rhythmâeating, watching, occasionally commenting on the nostalgia of the show.
But the tension lingers.
Out of the corner of your eye, you catch him glancing at you between bites, as if trying to figure out whatâs on your mind. And you wonder just how long it will take before his curiosity outweighs his patience.
As you both finish up the episode of Bleach, Seokjin turns to you, his gaze warm yet inquisitive. âSo, how was your day?â
You pause for a second, collecting your thoughts.Â
What to say? What did you do today before your world got flipped upside down⊠Oh right⊠the job interview. âBusy,â you say with a small laugh. âI had a second interview earlier for a job.â
His eyebrows lift, impressed. âOh? Whatâs the role?â
âItâs for a coordinator position at a small fashion house,â you explain. âIt went⊠great, actually. But I donât think Iâll get it though.â
Jin frowns, leaning slightly closer. âWhy not? You just said it went great.â
You shrug, letting out a sigh. âI donât know. Itâs just a gut feeling, I guess. Fashionâs cutthroat, you know? The people in that industry are quick to judge if you donât fit the vibe theyâre looking for. You can have all the skills, a good background, everythingâbut itâs still not enough sometimes. I donât think I got what they want.â
He watches you for a moment, then sets down his plate and reaches across the table. His hand finds yours, warm and grounding. âHey,â he says softly, his voice steady. âYou are good enough. I know itâs hard not to overthink, but you have to believe that you bring something special to the table.â
Your chest tightens at his words, the sincerity in his tone. His thumb brushes your knuckles gently, and that nervous feeling blooms again, tugging at the edges of your thoughts. Thereâs something so familiar about thisâlike nostalgia wrapped in uncertainty. Itâs comforting, but it scares you all the same.
You blink, pulling your hand back as casually as you can without it seeming abrupt. âThanks, Jin,â you say, your voice tight. âI⊠I should probably get ready for this international networking seminar I have. Itâs later tonight so Iâll be up for awhile.â
He tilts his head slightly, concern flickering in his expression, but he doesnât press. âRight. Well, good luck with it. Let me know if you need anything.â
âRight back âatcha,â you reply quickly, standing up. You gather the disposable utensils and plates in a hurry, tossing them into the trash before he can say anything else.
Seokjin stays seated on the couch, his gaze lingering on you as you retreat to your room. The moment you close the door behind you, you exhale sharply, pressing your back against it.
Why does he have to be like this? So supportive, so perceptive, so⊠kind?
This is not the Seokjin you imagined when you decided to move in here!
You shake your head, trying to refocus your thoughts. You have work to do. The seminar is important, and you need to be prepared. But even as you sit down at your desk and open your laptop, you canât shake the image of Jinâs hand on yours or the soft encouragement in his voice.
Itâs almost enough to make you forget what you saw earlier today. Almost.
Would it do you any good to force yourself to forget? Pretend that the tab you saw was just a fleeting mistake, an inconsequential moment in time?
Or would it be better to confront this unsettling curiosity head-on? Maybe, if you understood more about his âside hobby,â you could find a way to desensitize yourself. Make it less of a big deal. Normalize it in your head.
The thought gnaws at you until youâre lying in bed at 1:28 a.m., the glow of your laptop casting a dim light across your room. Youâre wearing your old blue track shorts and a faded YMCA T-shirt, the kind of comfort wear you donât expect anyone to see you in. You thought the seminar would last longer, but with some guest speaker changes, it ended right at 1am.
So now youâre doing this.
The chat on the pending livestream is already aliveârows of messages racing up the screen, eager fans buzzing in anticipation of âBigTunaManâsâ arrival.
You canât believe youâre actually doing this.
You glance at the clock again. One minute to go.
Then, he appears.
The camera flicks on, revealing Seokjinâor BigTunaMan, as his audience knows himâseated in his chair, the warm glow of soft lighting the only facially visible part of him: his lower half of his face and the subtle curve of his smirk. Heâs wearing a loose tank top, the kind that clings just enough to hint at the lines of his shoulders and chest, paired with pajama bottoms that ride low on his hips. His demeanor is relaxed, confident, and undeniably captivating.
âHey there, my army of lovers,â he greets, his voice lower, smoother, each word deliberately stretched out as if heâs tasting them. The chat floods instantly with messages, adoration pouring in from every corner of his audience.
âBigTunaMan, looking gorgeous as always!â
âOmg, talk slower, I canât handle it.â
âTake all my money, please.â
Jin leans forward, resting his chin in his hand, his lips curling into an indulgent smile as he reads through the comments. âYouâve all been so patient tonight,â he purrs. âSo how about I spoil you a little?â
He picks up a small bowl of strawberries from beside him, holding it up for the camera. The way his fingers brush over the fruit feels intentional, sensual, as though heâs fully aware of the effect he has on the people watching.
âLetâs start simple,â he murmurs, his gaze flickering to the chat, teasing. âA little ASMR snack to set the mood. And of course, Iâll be saying your namesâif youâve earned it.â
The screen lights up with donations almost instantly, usernames accompanied by desperate messages and heart emojis.
He picks a strawberry from the bowl, holding it delicately between his fingers, and bites into it slowly. The sound is soft but amplified, deliberate, and his eyes never leave the camera. He chews thoughtfully, his tongue darting out briefly to catch a stray bit of juice.
âThank you, PurpleHeart94,â he whispers, his voice silky and intimate. âYouâre so generous tonight, baby.â He takes another bite, his gaze steady and smoldering. âAnd you, HentaiPrincess420âwhat a sweet name. Thank you for spoiling me when I should be doing that to you.â
Shit⊠Heâs so smooth.
The chat goes wild, messages pouring in faster than you can keep track of them.
He takes his time, naming off more donors, each one met with a sultry thank-you, his tone dripping with playful affection. By the time the strawberries are gone, the tension in the air feels palpable, even through the screen.
Jin leans back in his chair, running a hand through his hair as he speaks. âNow that weâre warmed up,â he says, his voice dropping lower, âhow about we move on to something⊠a little more sexy?â
Your breath catches.
âThe touching session,â he says simply, his hand trailing down his chest slowly, almost lazily. The camera angle shifts slightly, framing him in a way that feels more intimate, inviting, as if heâs closing the distance between himself and his audience.
Youâre not sure whether you should close the laptop or keep watching, but your fingers remain frozen, hovering over the keyboard.
The chat explodes:
âYES, PLEASE!â
âTouch me instead!â
âPICK ME CHOOSE ME BigTunaMan!â
Jin chuckles, the sound low and resonant. âPatience,â he chides softly. âWeâve got all night, havenât we?â
The camera zooms in slightly, drawing your focus to the deliberate, almost hypnotic movements of Jinâs hands as they trail over his skin. His voice, smooth and sultry, seeps into your ears like honey, wrapping around your thoughts and making it impossible to concentrate on anything else.
âDo you like this?â he murmurs, his tone so intimate it feels like heâs speaking directly to you. âTell me how much you want it.â
The chat erupts in eager replies, but theyâre a distant hum compared to the pounding of your heart. You canât look away.
Though he keeps his face just out of view, itâs his voice that captures you, that low, velvety timbre punctuated by soft, breathy moans. Theyâre unintentional, almost reluctant, but they strike something deep within you.
You swallow hard, your throat dry, as your eyes remain glued to the screen. The way his hands moveâslow, teasing, purposefulâsends heat coursing through your body. Every movement is a study in precision, a dance of tension and release that makes your breath hitch.
You feel your body responding in ways you didnât expect. Warmth pools low in your belly, and your thighs press together instinctively. Your fingers hover near the trackpad, ready to click away but unable to follow through.
âThis feels good, doesnât it?â he continues, his voice breaking into a soft groan that sends a shiver down your spine. Why is this actually feelingâŠgood. You canât stop yourself from imagining those hands on you, guiding you, making you forget everythingâyour ex, the breakup, the shitty job market, the confusion of the past weeks.
For a moment, you close your eyes and let the sound of his voice wash over you. Your fingers inch lower, hesitating, as you let yourself get lost in the moment. Youâre not thinking about the consequences, about what this means. Youâre thinking about himâhis hands, his voice, the heat building inside you.
The guilt simmers beneath the surface, but itâs drowned out by the relentless pull of desire. The screen lights up your room, but itâs his voice and movements that light you up inside. You barely notice the chat anymore; itâs just you and him in this moment, an unspoken connection through the glow of the laptop.
Your breath comes in shallow gasps as your hand moves on its own accord, slipping under the waistband of your shorts. You close your eyes again, imagining his hands instead of your own, his voice murmuring your name instead of the ones flooding the chat. For the first time in weeks, maybe months, you let yourself feel without holding back.
In this moment, nothing else matters. Fuck the breakup you had with Mingi. Fuck the stress of job searching. Fuck the awkwardness of living with him. And most importantly, fuck the consequences of watching this. Itâs just him, the way he makes you feel, and the heat that consumes you completely.
Your breath hitches as your hands wander further, slipping under your shirt to tease at your nipples, fingers rolling and pinching lightly. Each touch sends sparks of pleasure shooting through you, but itâs not enoughânot compared to what youâre watching on the screen.
Not like Jinâs movements at all.
Jinâs hands move with expert precision against his dick, his body shifting slightly as he leans into the motions. His moans, soft yet intentional, echo in your ears, spurring your own need higher. You slide your shorts down your hips, the cool air kissing your skin as they drop to the floor.
Your fingers dip lower, grazing over the slick heat pooling between your thighs. Itâs good, but not nearly enough. You want more. You need more.
With a frustrated sigh, you pull yourself away from the bed, heart pounding as you open the drawer of your nightstand. Your fingers quickly locate the toy nestled among your folded underwear. Itâs a guilty secret youâve kept for moments like this, though none of those moments have ever felt as charged as this one.
You crawl back onto the bed, the glow of the screen casting shadows over your skin. Jinâs voice fills the room, low and enticing, as he murmurs, âYou want me to keep going? Donât worry, Iâll take care of you.â
Your thighs clench involuntarily at his words, your hand trembling slightly as you press the toy against yourself. The first vibration jolts through you, a gasp escaping your lips as your body arches into the sensation.
On the screen, Jin leans back slightly, his voice dipping even lower. âJust relax,â he says, as though he knows exactly what youâre doing. âLet me make you feel good.â
You follow his lead, letting the toy work against you as your free hand resumes teasing your chest. The pleasure builds steadily, your movements syncing with his as if heâs guiding you through the screen.
Every sound he makes, every deliberate motion, heightens the sensation coursing through you. You bite your lip, trying to stay quiet, but a soft moan slips out despite your efforts. The rhythm of the toy against you matches the cadence of his voice, and it feels as though heâs right there, coaxing you to the edge. You feel yourself almost reaching your orgasm.
But thenâŠ
The darkness in the room is lit by the various colored lights and monitor screens as Jinâs chest rises and falls. He begins to slows his movements on his cock, his fingers curling reflexively against his skin. For a brief, unguarded moment, his mind conjures your imageâyour laughter from earlier at dinner, the way you nervously tugged at the hem of your shirt when he reached out to reassure you.
Woah, what.
Why am I thinking about her right now?
The thought crashes into him like a freight train, shattering his carefully constructed cam-boy persona. His rhythm falters, and as he shifts back abruptly, his elbow knocks into the small Mario figure perched on the edge of his desk.
The figure wobbles, teeters, and then tumbles, the plastic base snapping cleanly off as it hits the hardwood floor.
âShit!â Jin hisses, his hands flying up to stop the disaster thatâs already occurred.
He quickly reaches for the webcam, clicking off the feed and muttering a quick excuse to his audience. âHey guys, Iâll be right back. Technical issue. Donât go anywhere.â
The chat floods with reactionsâsome disappointed, others supportiveâbut Jin pays them no mind. He gets himself covered up, with his focus no on the broken Mario figure in his hands.
He turns it over, the damage glaringly obvious. Itâs just a silly little figurine to anyone else, but to Jin, itâs so much more. Youâd given it to him during a Secret Santa exchange in elementary school. It was back when you were both just kids, long before life got complicated and your paths diverged.
Heâd kept it all these years, quietly treasuring the memory of that moment, even if you probably didnât remember.
âDamn itâŠâ he mutters under his breath. He needs super glueâimmediately.
The thought strikes him like lightning: you bought super glue just the other day to fix a keychain. You even mentioned it offhand while you were unloading groceries together.
You must have it in your room.
Without hesitation, Jin stands, his mind racing with urgency. Youâd said youâd be up late for some seminar, so youâre probably awake. Thereâs no time to text or knock; he can just explain in person. Youâre a few steps away anyway.
He pushes your door open, stepping inside in a rush, only for the world to come screeching to a halt.
His eyes widen as they land on youâsprawled on your bed, your shirt rucked up to expose bare breasts and heat, your shorts kicked off and forgotten. The unmistakable hum of a vibrator fills the air, the glow of your laptop illuminating your flushed face.
Holy shit, he just caught his new roommate and childhood rival⊠friend? masterbating.
Your hand freezes mid-motion as you look at him, your expression a mixture of shock and mortification.
For a moment, neither of you moves.
âIââ Jin stammers, his voice catching in his throat. His gaze darts away, his face heating up so fast it feels like it might combust. âIâoh my godâIâm sorry! I didnât meanââ
Your own voice fails you, a strangled moaning sound escaping your lips as you scramble to pull the blanket over yourself, fumbling in a panic.
âW-What the hell, Jin!â you manage to croak, your voice high-pitched and shaky.
âI needed super glue!â he blurts out, clutching the broken Mario figure in his hands like itâs the most important thing in the world. âFor this! Itâs broken, and Iââ
âThis couldnât wait?!â you snap, the mortification only growing as his words fully sink in.
Jin takes a step back, clearly flustered. âI didnât thinkâ! I mean, I thought you wereââ
He freezes mid-sentence, his eyes darting to your laptop screen. His breath catches as the realization washes over him.
Thatâs my stream.
For a moment, the room is suffocatingly silent, his wide-eyed gaze flicking between you and the unmistakable paused screen of his cam boy persona on your laptop. You're watching me? The thought echoes in his mind, equal parts flattered and horrified.
Jin had sensed something was off earlier in the evening, even before all of this unfolded. After dinner, when heâd returned to his room, heâd noticed the Chaturbate tabâclosed.
That was odd.
He distinctly remembered leaving it open before leaving for work this morning. Heâd scheduled some exclusive content for his next stream and had moved the tab to a less conspicuous window. He figured maybe heâd closed it in a rush and forgotten.
But now, as he stood here, watching your flushed face buried in your hands, it started clicking into place.
Your awkward behavior during dinnerâthe way you fumbled through your answers, the slight tension in your laugh. Heâd assumed you were just jittery from nerves after your job interview, but this? This was something else entirely.
How long have you known?
The realization settled in his chest like a slow-building weight, pushing him further toward clarity. His gaze softened, not with pity, but with a blend of intrigue and confusion.
âY/N, youâre watching my camming stream?â he finally says, his voice low, incredulous.
You groan, your hands flying up to cover your burning face. âOh my god. I can explainâno, wait, I canât explain. Justââ You trail off, wishing for the earth to swallow you whole. Your voice is muffled through your palms as you mutter, âThis isnât what it looks like at all!â
You're kind of cute, all flustered like this, he thinks to himself.
Jin crosses his arms, leaning against your doorframe, and his lips quirk up into a lopsided smile. Thereâs amusement in his eyes, but also something moreâinterest, maybe? He tilts his head slightly, watching you squirm.
Maybe he should tease her a little, like old times.
âWow,â he finally says, his voice low and teasing. âHave you been that lonely?â
Your head snaps up, your face somehow growing hotter. âWhat? No! I meanâŠâ You falter, the truth sitting heavy on your tongue, and you look away, unable to meet his gaze. âOkay, maybe a little. The breakup was actually that bad and umâŠbut thisâthis isnât about that.â
He takes a step closer, his smirk softening into something gentler. âYou couldâve told me.â
âTold you what?â you ask weakly, your heart pounding as he stands just a few feet away now.
âThat youâve been feeling like this. That you neededâŠâ His voice dips, and his dark eyes flicker over you, lingering just a little too long. âSome help...â
Your breath catches, and you swallow hard, trying to keep your voice steady. âSeokjin, I donâtââ
âI could help,â he interrupts, his tone soft but unmistakably suggestive.
The weight of his words settles over you like a warm blanket, and for a moment, all you can do is stare at him, your mind racing. Is he serious? Does he mean what you think he means?
No, like why would he? What does he gain from this? Even he himself wonders.
âYou could help?â you repeat, your voice barely above a whisper, as if saying it out loud would shatter whatever fragile tension exists between you.
His eyes lock onto yours, and the look he gives you is steady, confident, and almost daring. âYeah,â he says. âIf youâd let me.â
He doesnât think youâll actually accept it, if anything, this is probably time for you to officially kick him outâ
âThen help me, already.â
â
â
â
a/n: this is really long chapter because i really wanted to add some psychological warfare going on in reader's head + some character development as these two "childhood rivals" start to befriend each other now in their adult lives. i hope you enjoy this chapter. happy holidays!! thank you all for the support and for reading!

A Spot of Tea
This is a little extract from the next chapter of The Warden's Watcher, but I thought i'd share on it's own.
Author's Note: Set from Emmrich's POV early game, in act 1, when Taash is still using she/her pronouns.This will change as their journey progresses and they make their preference known.
Tags: gender discussion
âPlease, feel free to stay for a spot of tea,â Emmrich said, gesturing toward the chair opposite him. âManfred has been experimenting with infusions. Iâm sure he could add some gingerâI recall youâre rather fond of it.â
Manfred paused his dusting, turning to hiss enthusiastically.
Emmrich allowed himself a small smile, though he knew better than to expect immediate warmth from Taash. The gesture, however modest, was meant to ease the wariness she held for him. Time spent in conversation, he hoped, might convince her that her mistrust was misplaced. Yet, her continued guardedness was beginning to sting. He hadnât seen her smile - not once - and it was becoming more and more difficult not to take it personally.
Taash remained where she stood, her boots rooted firmly to the wooden floorboards. She didnât move forward, but neither did she retreat.
With an inward sigh, Emmrich decided to treat her as he would one of the Necropolisâ elusive cats: patient, unobtrusive, and willing to let her make the first move.
âYou call him a âhe.ââ
âIâm sorry?â Emmrich asked, glancing up from his book.
Taashâs gaze hadnât wavered. Her eyes remained locked on Manfred, her brow furrowed as if puzzling out a riddle she hadnât yet solved. Emmrich knew she hated riddles.
âManfred,â she said, her voice slow and deliberate, âYou call him âhe.â How do you know heâs a âheâ? Does he have⊠boy bones?â
âAh.â Emmrich closed the book softly and returned his quill to its pot. âHis bones are from a variety of donors, male and female. Some skeletal components require a match from the same biological sex, but others fit together without regard to such concerns. However,â he said, smiling gently, âjust as with us, Manfredâs identity has nothing to do with the bones themselves.â
Taash blinked, her frown easing ever so slightly. âOh.â
âItâs quite simple, really,â Emmrich continued. âHe just let me know.â
âBut I thought he could only hiss?â
âHe finds his own ways to communicate. Many spirits, especially ones as curious as Manfred, wish to join the living and experience life. When they do, they start as something simpleâa facet or idea that represents themâand, with encouragement, develop into more complex beings. For some spirits, I suppose gender becomes part of that identity.â
âOnly some spirits?â
âIt isnât universal,â Emmrich explained, leaning back in his chair. âSome spirits feel no need for such distinctions. Gender, after all, is a construct. Perhaps they pick it up from the body they inhabit, the living beings they observe, or simply from something that brings them comfort. It helps them feel closer to what they wish to become.â
He watched as Manfred stopped dusting to offer a soft hiss and wiggle his skeletal fingers at a stray wisp that had floated through the window.
âSpirits,â Emmrich added, watching the exchange with quiet amusement, âarenât so different from us in many ways.â
Taashâs lips pressed into a thin line. âSo you didnât question it at all?â
âWhy would I?â Emmrich replied. âWho am I to argue when someone tells me who they are?â
âHuh.â
Emmrich let the silence linger before clearing his throat. âNow, about that tea? I assure you, Manfredâs steeping technique has improved immensely.â
Taash hesitated, her eyes darting briefly toward the skeletal steward before returning to Emmrich. For the first time, she seemed to seriously consider his offer.
âAll right,â she said at last, lowering herself into the chair. âBut tell him not to hiss at me. It freaks me out.â
Manfred inclined his skull politely, then shuffled off toward the teapot.
A fleeting smile crossed Taashâs face as she settled into the chair. It was small, but Emmrich caught it all the same.

A Mandated Holiday Break - Chapter 1
Characters: Sylus x gn!mc (poly lads)
Warnings: None
Word Count: 779
Written: 21st December 2024
Notes: This is the first fanfic I've posted, it's not proofread, I don't know how many chapters there will be. Pray for me. Post-relationship Sylus/MC-centric but poly LADs, with my personal pov of the game and lil headcanons littered in.
Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
It's one thing to take their government mandated holidays, as a hunter. It feels wrong, they know they need to take time off. People need breaks. If they don't rest, they fray. As a hunter, being sloppy means letting someone get hurt.
They know that.
Still... they've never been good at taking time off. It was easier with their family around, if Caleb hadn't dragged them home occasionally, they'd have burned themselves out frequently.
Now they just face the disapproving looks of their dear doctor... who is far less enthused, but far too professional to do any dragging.
It's another thing when their favourite captain tells them to go home because they look like shit. Alright, maybe not in that many words, but the sentiment was there. They try to imagine Jenna cursing and while it feels right, they also feel like they've seen something they really shouldn't.
She's right though, they muse. Dark circles, clothing tattering, ache in limbs.
If they'd been asked when they last took a holiday... well they couldn't answer.
Tara nudges them, warm smile on her face, "I'll text you. Go sleep." And with a warm hand on their back, she pushes them towards the door.
They're tempted to look for Xavier to say goodbye for the day, but it's late and he could be anywhere. (Though they're willing to bet he's stolen a break room for a nap.)
Instead they leave the Hunters Association, standing in the street below, staring up at the holiday decorations lining the street. It's cold enough that their teeth chatter...
And they come face to face with the loneliness of being stood here, an empty home and the knowledge that all their loved ones are still busy, working, wrapping everything up.
They could go visit Zayne, but he's got such an important job they don't want to intrude. (The voice in their head that sounds a bit like his tries to remind them they could never intrude.) They could message Xavier, but if he's finally resting they'd had to disturb him. (They never could, he's pleased whenever they spend time with him or join him for a nap.) They could go check in on Rafayel, but he's preparing for an exhibit and they don't want to break his creative flow. (How could they when they're his muse? The reason he found purpose in a paintbrush again.)
Instead they stand and stew and struggle. Internally debating how much they can exist in a space, before a caw snaps them out of their shuddering. Arms wrapped around them through the too thin coat, not at all built for the snow and chill.
Mephie perches on their shoulder, his red eyes gleaming. They're hit with the strange feeling that the robot bird knows and sees far more than he should, before the non metal feathers puff up, snuggling into the crook of their neck.
In seconds all the tense strain in their limbs ease up, and they breathe out a long exhale. "Hey." They manage, forcing their teeth to stop chattering and their smile comes gently.
They're unsure if it's for the birds benefit, or for his owner, but they realise it doesn't matter. Both bring unrivalled comfort.
Their new companion, caws again, tone deaf and glitchy, before clacking his beak at them. Extending his foot, a small message tied to it.
Why Sylus doesn't send them messages in any normal way, they'll never understand. He enjoys phone calls, texts them constantly, but whenever he wants to be dramatic, in flies Mephisto with a letter or a note, on a blaze of feathers and metal.
Gently, they untie it, patting the pretty bird's head as they do so with one hand.
He preens and coos at them happily, glitchy static and very real pleasure at their attention.
'You have time off. I'm booking it for the week.'
They'd question how he knows, but he always seems to know. They should find it creepy, but they've since learned if he doesn't watch their back constantly, people who want them hurt do.
Perhaps they've grown too soft on him, his attentions, his affection, his constantly presence, but they find it more soothing than unnerving.
Still. They would like to know how many ways he's keeping track of them.
If only for the curiousity lurking under their skin, one of the traits he teases them for.
"I guess you're my accompaniment then Mephie?" The bird puffs up, proud and preening, and he looks far too much like his prideful master for a moment for them to not chuckle. As their guide kicks up into the sky, flying off, they follow him a little lighter.

Heyy astro! So I just fell ill out of nowhere, so I gotta cancel so many plans đ Being sick sucksss, especially when you finally have a break from school đźâđš Could I please ask a nice comforting fic about Remus taking care of reader when she's sick? Possibly with her feeling nauseous (without actually getting sick) and being triggered bc of her Emetophobia? Thanks lovely! đ«¶
Comfort in the Quiet, Calm in the Storm
Hi hun!! Im sorry you're sick :( I hope you feel better and enjoy the fic!!
Remus Lupin x female!reader
Remus helps Y/N feel better when she falls sick!
â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°ââ.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:â
It was a cold evening at Hogwarts when Y/N first felt itâan odd, unsettling sensation in the pit of her stomach. She tried to ignore it at first, busying herself with homework in the Gryffindor common room. The flickering firelight and the comforting presence of the castle were usually enough to keep her grounded, but today was different. The nausea seemed to worsen with every passing minute, and soon she found herself clutching her abdomen, trying to breathe through the sudden discomfort.
âY/N?â
Remus Lupinâs voice brought her back to the present. She glanced up, meeting his warm brown eyes across the room. He had been studying at the table nearby, but his gaze was now fixed on her, concern written all over his face.
âIâm fine,â Y/N muttered, shaking her head in an attempt to brush off the queasiness. âJust a bit of a stomachache.â
Remus raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. âYou donât look fine. Come here, love,â he coaxed gently, his tone soothing.
Y/N didnât resist. She knew he wouldnât let it go, and honestly, she was grateful. As much as she hated to admit it, she didnât feel fine at all. In fact, she felt like her whole body was on the edge of something she couldnât control.
She slowly stood up and walked over to where Remus was sitting. He shifted aside to make room for her, and as she sank into the armchair beside him, he instinctively reached for her hand.
âTell me whatâs going on,â he said softly, his thumb gently tracing the back of her hand.
âI donât know,â Y/N whispered. âI just feel⊠off. A bit dizzy. My stomachâs turning, but itâs notââ She stopped herself, aware of what she was about to say. The word hung heavy on her tongue, a word she tried so hard to avoid. She swallowed, willing herself to stay calm.
Remusâs eyes softened with understanding. âYou donât need to say it if you donât want to,â he said gently. âBut Iâm here for you. Whatever it is.â
Y/N nodded, feeling a wave of relief wash over her just from hearing him say that. It was rare for her to open up about her struggles with emetophobia, especially with the one person she cared about most. Remus had always been understanding, but today, her fear felt overwhelming. Her stomach churned at the thought of getting sickâsomething she hadnât been able to control since childhoodâand her mind began to spiral.
âIâll get you something,â Remus continued, sensing her distress. âSomething to settle your stomach. Youâll feel better soon.â
Y/N gave a shaky smile, grateful for his calm presence. He always seemed to know how to make her feel better, how to soothe her even when the world felt out of control.
â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°ââ.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:â
The evening stretched on, and Y/N couldnât shake the sensation of nausea that clung to her. She had tried to drink some water, but it hadnât helped. She had curled up under a blanket beside Remus on the couch, but the nausea still gnawed at her insides, and the dizziness refused to leave.
"Do you want me to get Madame Pomfrey?" Remus asked after a long silence, his voice careful.
Y/N shook her head quickly, but the movement only made her feel worse. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to steady herself, but she couldnât escape the overwhelming sense of discomfort.
"Iâm fine, really," she replied, her voice strained. "I just need a minute."
Remus didnât push further. Instead, he carefully shifted so that he was sitting behind her, supporting her back with a cushion. His hands were warm and steady as he placed one on her shoulder, rubbing soothing circles on her skin.
âIâm right here,â he murmured, his voice like a gentle lullaby. âYou donât have to go through this alone.â
The kindness in his tone made Y/Nâs heart ache. She had always been so terrified of being judged, of appearing weak or fragile, especially around him. But Remus never made her feel that way. He never once looked at her with pity, and that was something she cherished more than anything.
She leaned back against him, resting her head on his chest. His heartbeat was steady, a rhythm she found grounding, and it helped her focus on something other than the sickening feeling in her stomach. She closed her eyes, listening to the quiet, to the sound of his breath, and allowed herself a small moment of peace.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Remus asked after a while, his voice soft, barely a whisper.
Y/N hesitated, biting her lip. She had been carrying this fear around for so long, and though she had told Remus bits and pieces before, she had never truly opened up about how severe her emetophobia could be.
"I don't know if I can," she admitted, her voice trembling.
Remus didnât say anything for a moment. Instead, he simply continued to hold her, his presence a steady anchor in the chaos of her mind.
When he finally spoke again, it was with a quiet understanding. âYou donât have to tell me everything, love. But if you want to talk, Iâm here.â
Y/N felt her breath catch in her throat. There was so much she wanted to say, so much she had never been able to express. She had always been afraid of burdening others with her fear, especially Remus, but the kindness in his voice and the gentleness of his touch made it feel just a little less daunting.
âIâm scared,â she whispered. âI hate this feeling. The nausea, the thought of being sick. I just⊠I canât handle it. I donât know how to make it stop.â
Her chest tightened, her breathing becoming shallow. Remusâs arms tightened around her as if he could somehow absorb the tension in her body. âItâs okay. Iâve got you. Whatever you need.â
âI donât want to feel like this anymore,â Y/N continued, her voice barely audible. âI just want it to stop. Iâm afraid of being out of control. Of not being able to stop it when it happens.â
Remusâs thumb brushed against her temple, as though brushing away her worries. âI know, Y/N. I know you donât want to feel like this. But youâre not alone. You donât have to go through this alone.â
He kissed the top of her head, his touch tender and reassuring. âWeâll get through this together. One step at a time.â
Y/N clung to his words, willing herself to believe them, even as her fear threatened to swallow her whole.
â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°ââ.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:ă»Â°â.ă.:â
The night stretched on, the fire crackling softly in the background, and the hours passed in quiet conversation. Remus didnât try to rush her through the nausea; instead, he focused on calming her mind, drawing her attention away from the spiral of thoughts that threatened to take over.
As time went on, Y/N began to feel a little less overwhelmed. The nausea was still there, lingering in the background, but it wasnât as suffocating. She had Remus with her, and that made all the difference.
âDo you want some tea?â Remus asked, his voice soft. âI think it might help settle your stomach.â
Y/N nodded, grateful for the suggestion. âYes, please,â she murmured.
Remus rose from the couch and moved toward the small kitchenette in the corner of the common room. He returned shortly with a steaming mug of chamomile tea, the aroma of the herbs filling the air.
âHere you go,â he said, handing her the cup. âItâs not much, but it should help.â
Y/N took the mug from him, the warmth of the tea comforting against her chilled fingers. She took a slow sip, letting the soothing liquid settle in her stomach. For the first time all evening, she felt a small glimmer of relief.
âThank you,â she whispered.
Remus smiled, his eyes soft. âAnytime, love. You donât ever have to go through this alone.â
She smiled back, leaning into his side once again. For the first time in hours, the knot in her stomach began to loosen. The fear wasnât completely gone, but it didnât feel as overpowering. And with Remus there beside her, it felt a little easier to breathe.
They sat in silence for a while, just being together. The world outside seemed distant, irrelevant in the face of their quiet comfort.
Y/Nâs head rested on Remusâs shoulder as they watched the flames dance in the fireplace. She didnât feel entirely better yet, but with him there, it felt like the storm inside her had calmedâjust a little.
And in that small moment, she realized that maybe that was enough for now. She had him. And that was all she needed to make it through the storm.

For YR Faves Fest organised by @youngroyals-events Prompts: 2. favourite teen side character (Henry), 7. favourite (not-quite) friendship, 9. favourite season (S1)
To accompany my Henry & Simon analysis post, I thought it could be fun to post a selection of scenes from my S1 longfic Other people's secrets as Sunday snippets!
These three scenes consist of 1) Henry observing Wilmon on the night of the Society party, 2) him trying to small talk with them the next day, and 3) him apologising to Simon after rowing practice some days later. They should be easy to follow and enjoy even if you haven't read the entire fic.
The first scene is under the cut, and I will reblog this twice (later today) to add the others!
1: The night of the Society party
When a cold breeze touched Henryâs ankle, he realised he had failed to close the window after climbing in. As if on cue, there was a noise from outside â it sounded like someone falling down, followed by muffled voices arguing.
âFuck, not again. Get up, Wille!â
âSorry, sorry! Just need to catch my breath.â
âOn your feet now, come on!â
âItâs nice here, sit with me for a bit.â Sounds of a scuffle again. âI want to sit with you, come on!â
âNo, youâre going to get up and point me in the right direction. Unless you want me to just leave you here.â
âNo, donât leave me! Everythingâs spinning and I just, uh. I need a minute to â unghâŠâ
As more struggling followed, Henry gradually unfroze to look over at his roommate, who seemed to be fast asleep still. He wondered if he should wake Walter up for this but decided not to waste time. This sounded like a blink-and-youâll-miss-it type of situation. He curiously approached the window and peered out through the corner pane, hiding behind the curtain to avoid being seen from the outside.
It was dark, but Henry could make out two figures on the lawn. One was pulling the other to his feet, but the one reluctantly getting up â Wilhelm, obviously it had to be Wilhelm â threw his arms tightly around whoever was helping him and slumped against them.
âDamn it, Wille, get a hold of yourself! Weâre almost there.â
âDonât be mad,â Wilhelm slurred, still hanging on for dear life, even though the object of the hug tried to pry him off. He sounded desolate saying, âDonât leave me, Simon, please donât leave me.â
Henryâs eyes widened as he mouthed the name: Simon? His thoughts were a whirlwind in his still slightly inebriated brain. Why was Simon bringing Wilhelm home from a party he had not even attended, and more importantly, were they really this close?
This was best-friend territory. Not something any two classmates would do for each other. Henry for one couldnât imagine other than Walter dragging him home like that. Simon didnât even live here, so he was really going out of his way to do this.
Henry squinted his eyes to see better as Simon let out a stifled grunt and heaved his clingy friend off. It was too dark to see their faces, but luckily there was enough moonlight to catch their silhouette.
âOf course not, I just said that to get you moving again.â Simon held Wilhelm by the elbow as the prince almost lost his balance from the push. His other hand was gesturing towards the windows. âNow, focus: which one is your room? How do we get in?â
âThat one over there. I left it open. Iâm clever like that.â
âJust not clever enough to say no to whatever junk they put in front of you,â Simon muttered, lifting Wilhelmâs arm on his shoulders and starting in the indicated direction.
Wilhelm groaned and signalled his reluctance to move. He grabbed a handful of Simonâs jacket and whatever he was wearing under it, most likely a hoodie knowing how Simon dressed. Then, he actually nuzzled his face into the crook of Simonâs neck.
Simon, who was quite clearly at the end of his wit, tried to push him off again.
âI donât need this from you, okay? I know youâre hurting, but this is not the way to fix that. I canât be dragging your ass home high in the middle of the night, itâs not fair. Okay?â
âPlease donât be mad,â Wilhelm whined again. âI donât want you to be mad at me.â
âWe can talk about this when youâve sobered up,â Simon said, obviously mad.
Henry was holding his breath, transfixed. This was a much more private conversation than he had expected. He tried to get a better look, but all he could see was Wilhelmâs frame slumped against Simon while the shorter boy insistently dragged him along.
âWill you stay until then? Please stay.â
âWell, somebody has to make sure you donât choke to death in your sleep.â
Henry stifled a giggle at the similarity with the sentiment Walter had expressed earlier about him potentially dying in the woods. Yes, definitely best-friend territory, although he couldnât really imagine himself being quite that physical, even with Walter. Hugging, sure, but the nuzzling was a bit much. But then, Wilhelm was obviously high out of his mind, so it was no wonder he was acting strangely.
âThank you, Simon. Thanks for coming. I canât believe you came.â
âOf course I came.â
âI donât know what Iâd do without you.â Wilhelm sounded sincere, his voice small and broken.
âYou have a funny way of showing it,â Simon replied a bit more bitterly than Henry expected.
âI didnât really want what I wanted.â It was getting harder to hear Wilhelmâs slurred words now as they were getting further away. Henry silently pushed the window slightly further ajar to catch the rest. He couldnât risk looking out anymore for fear of being spotted, but at least he could hear better. âIâm sorry.â
âI know. Now, is this your window?â Wilhelm did not say anything in response, but he must have made a gesture to that effect, because the next thing Henry heard was the window creaking open. âGet in, and donât make any noise unless you want your bodyguards to rush in.â
âQuiet as a mouse,â Wilhelm proclaimed at a volume that was anything but. He proceeded to knock something over on his way in, then cursed as that something clanked against the floor. His bodyguards must have heard, but they probably had enough tact to avoid catching the crown prince in the act.
Simon laughed quietly despite himself, and Henry could imagine him shaking his head in exasperation. Wilhelm muttered an âoopsâ and shushed himself, still extremely loud in the absence of any other noise.
When Simon spoke again, his voice sounded less angry. Instead, it was laced with affection. âReal smooth. Now get out of the way.â
Henry heard Simon climb in and close the window. It was quiet again, and he turned back towards his sleeping roommate in disbelief. He really should have woken Walter up for this, because he had no idea what to make of it on his own.
âWell, I guess thatâs what happened to Wille,â he whispered to himself. Rubbing his wrist on his cheek, he realised he had blushed vigorously at the awkward excitement of watching and eavesdropping on something he so clearly wasnât supposed to witness.
He shook his head to snap out of it, then he shut the window and curtains. He lay down to contemplate the discussion he had just witnessed, hands behind his pillow.
Obviously, Simon and Wilhelm had to be very close friends based on everything they had just said and the touchy-feely nature of it all. But if that was the case, why were they hiding?
[---]
He lay awake for about an hour, listening to Walterâs steady breathing from the other bed and feeling low as conflicting thoughts swirled around his slowly sharpening mind. Witnessing that interaction had made it abundantly clear how different Wilhelm was with a true friend than he was with Henry and the others â and if Simon had been able to get through Wilhelmâs seemingly impenetrable walls, there had to be something special about him.
The more Henry thought about how wrong his approach to them both had been, the larger and heavier the ball of guilt inside him grew, until he had to clear his throat in an effort to move it. Thankfully â or unfortunately, he wasnât sure which â Walter didnât seem to stir.
And so, he whispered quietly into the dark, âMaybe we should try to be nicer to Simon.â

Influenced .
Warnings: Alcoholic influence. Discussions of death, guilt, and heavy mourning. Plot related death. Standard SAW stuff.
Fandom: SAW.
Character/s: Mark Hoffman, Angelina Acomb.
Content: 3rd person perspective, SAW plot.
Synopsis: A poetic approach to Mark's dark days following the death of his aister, Angelina.
He remembered receiving the call on a random Tuesday.
As he draped his charcoal jacket over his shoulders and grabbed his badge, he distinctly remembered undergoing the same process he always did when responding to a homicide. Willing the world to be in his favour, allowing his soul to accrue a debt unpayable as the screech of his tires kept him from spiraling down the rabbit-hole of âwhat if?â scenarios.
It was something he never failed to do. A routine that would gnawe at his mind like an impulse that couldn't be silenced until he had visual confirmation that he wasnât responding to the homicide of the one person he had.
Being confronted with brutality and violence so consistantly had dulled his empathy and compassion over time. It was something that his work friends would poke at him for, constantly questioning his humanity, concealing their genuine concern behind awkward laughter and forced smiles.
It had always made him uncomfortable how often his vision would haze these days.
Had he been a bad person in his past?
Sure, he had always felt some sense of relief when the victims being obscured by a body bag werenât familiar⊠But did that make him a bad person, or human?
He had followed first responders into the small home, the sweet caramel aroma of previously lit candles greeted him, corrupted by the harsh scent of blood and the chaos of an active crime scene.
Heâd navigated through the small home as though the layout was familiar, his feet carrying him along the beige coloured walls that once inhabited life and joy, every muscle suddenly taught and weak.
Because he knew.
Every step echoed the unpaid debt that the Universe was finally seeking compensation for.
And for a man who never devoted time to religion, a complete Atheist who had long accepted that death was an utter nothingness with no semblance of an afterlife⊠He found himself praying.
Her hand had been cold, her soul fleeing from the trauma long before heâd arrived.
She hadnât returned the gesture when he squeezed her hand, hadnât embraced him and spoke in the soft voice that now only lives within nightmares.
Why had those âwhat if?â scenarios become a reality? Was it because he was a bad person?
Had he been a bad person?
His vision was fuzzy again. Fuck.
The days following had been a dissociated blur, a haze of emotions he wasnât used to feeling all clashing at once and making her death much harder to process.
Officers paid their condolences, all in passing, all without the genuine care theyâd once shown during a period where he was already doubting himself.
Now, he was doubting everything.
Whiskey no longer tasted bitter.
His sorrow drowned out the joy of liqour.
Had he been a bad person?
The justice system had proved futile when handling the case with care and sympathy; denying him the closure he so desperately needed and treating his sisterâs murder as a simple paper weight.
It was a meaningless scrap of paper, another statistic, another name to be spoken when it suited the world.
Heâd lost hope in his own field that day.
Heâd been selfish to assume he could make a difference⊠And all it took was a harsh slap of reality to enlighten him.
Rage and despair had consumed him, and heâd slowly become more detached, more sadistic, more sociopathic.
That once clear line between right and wrong blurred into obscurity.
He was a bad person.
Desperation had driven him to take matters into his own hands, and through a punctured hole in the steel wall, he paid witness to his warped sense of justice.
Justice had failed him⊠So he would become the arbiter of his own twisted retribution.
He is a bad person.
And he slowly came to enjoy it.
His vision wasnât blurry anymore.
