Traffic Light In Art Pixel Animation! (Piskel)
Sprinkles: Bark! Bark! (Well, the next character that came from Inanimate Insanity Infinity is Traffic Light, who are like my owners (yin yang) of life, but there are three of them, one is positive, the other is negative like Fanny and the one in the middle is just meh, just meh and that's all they are but in one part that I like them the most is the negative one when he opens his mouth when he starts to smile, it looks like he has sharp teeth, bigger than mine!)
Traffic Light Is Belong To AnimationEpic (Inanimate Insanity)

i dunno if it seems right to call traffic light from inanimate insanity 2 a system. yin-yang has two personalities but has only one face, while all 3 of traffic light's personalities have 3 faces. i'd think it'd be right to call traffic light more of a three-way conjoined twin

oh dam.
stares at u w my big ol eyes
4SLights (MePhone4S x Traffic Light, the one from II Infinity) (They have never met ever in canon and prob will never but,) (still love em, au or canon wise </3)
On romantic terms, 7/10!
On platonic terms, 10/10!
I think that the 4s ships with characters that are the complete opposite from him but also somehow manage to be similar are quite fun! Traffic Light was such an interesting concept for a character and it's sad to see that they only lasted for one episode, but the spark is there! I can see it!
I'm honestly surprised by it more than anything lol /pos, keep the good job! Can't say much 'bout it

here's pt. ii !
Jason caught it in the corner of his eye. Sitting in the parking lot beneath your apartment, was a gleaming Yamaha MT motorcycle. Spotless. Clean.
It's a naked model, he thinks, as he can see the engine clearly. It's black, with accented colours streaked along the sides.
Jason glances around the parking lot, eyes sweeping along the shadows and cement pillars. No one else is here. It's only him.
With muted curiosity, he ambles towards the bike with his hands shoved in his pockets. He knows you won't fuss too much if he's a minute behind his schedule (which was simply messaging you about three minutes ago, saying he's arrived at the complex).
Circling the bike, he takes it in. It's a nice model. Sleek. Expensive. He wonders who owns it, because it isn't the smartest idea to keep such a bike out in the open.
Especially in Gotham.
But as he looks down at the tires—that look brand new—he notices three locks wrapped around one of the suspensions. Huffing in amusement, he sees they're connected to the metal guard rail behind him that's been pushed up against the wall.
"Not bad," he mumbles beneath his breath. Steam puffs into the air.
It's cold, and the numbness of his nose makes it to the forefront of his mind again.
Sparing the bike one last lingering, appreciative glance, he crosses the parking lot with long strides, and slips into the elevator when the doors slide open.
When they open again, he's greeted with a long, carpeted hallway. The lights are dim. They flicker. He searches for the woodgrain door with the number 208 painted on the front.
Finding it and feeling his heart flutter in his chest at the thought of you, he knocks on the door. He waits, leaning on his left leg.
There's a muffled commotion inside, a faint 'ow' that makes him frown.
Then your voice calls out, "One sec, I'm coming—damn it!"
Jason's head dips with a hidden smile; he imagines you struggling with something. Maybe the cat got underneath your feet again. Or maybe you were hurrying to put something on, and couldn't get your head through the t-shirt—
The door swings open, and you stand inside the frame with an almost frazzled look about you.
Jason perks a brow. "Hi."
"Hey," you say breathlessly, smiling.
"You, uh...you okay?"
"....I got tangled in my blanket and tripped."
Well, at least you're honest. Jason shakes his head with a soft grin. He steps into your apartment and curls his arm around your shoulders, guiding you with him.
"How you’re not dead with the things you manage to do is beyond me," he murmurs close to your ear.
You groan quietly, "I'm not that bad."
"Babe—"
"I've seen how Tim is. Now he's the definition of clumsy."
"Fair point."
You slip out of Jason's hold, not without kissing his cheek, and move to the kitchen.
Jason, feeling at ease, drops himself on the couch. The TV is still on, frozen on a scene in a movie. It's your favourite movie. Or 'comfort movie', as you've said before.
He hears the clink of glasses in the kitchen. The shuffle of your footsteps.
"How was patrol last night by the way?" you call out to him. "I know you weren't able to drop by 'cause you had to go back to the Manor this time."
Jason runs a rough hand down his face. "Yeah, it was fine. Tiresome, but fine."
He doesn't want to really talk about it. Not here in your warm apartment. Not with you and the normality you give him.
Outside, the traffic hums. He hears the roar of an engine—he remembers the bike.
"Hey, babe?"
"Hm?"
"Who owns that Yamaha bike in the parking lot?"
You come around the corner, holding two mugs of steaming coffee. Your eyes lock with his.
"Oh. It's mine."
"What?"

Riding Pays
—————————
Yandere!Batboys Highschool AU
Prologue | ii. The Gray Side| iii. Nerdy tactics | iv. Lucky artistic charm



Hearing a bike rev up, you looked up at the gods who had sent you a curse with annoyance.
And here comes the devil with a white strike of hair and full black hair, although you knew he was a natural red head.
Jason pulls up infront of you, heaving as if he had rushed like hell itself. He takes off his helmet for you to see those blue eyes of his. Making eye contact with him always slightly gave you a shiver. And not a good one.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you missed the bus?” He says with a smug tone. He was smirking at you, knowing you were already irritated.
“Did your short little legs not make it for the bus?” You rolled your eyes and flip him off. Jason starts to laugh and flip you off as well. “Well? Cmon leprechaun.” He throws a helmet at you. You caught it and walked over to him, strapping it on your head.
As you sat behind the boy, he pats your thigh. “Arms around me. You know the drill.” He says lowly. You cringed, wrapping your arms around him as he smiles from your gaze. He puts his helmet on and speeds off.
You yelped, grabbing onto him tighter. The boy with the white strike of hair smirks feeling your arms wrapped around him tightly. He revs up his bike, zooming past cars. You grit your teeth as you accidentally squeezed his stomach. But your eyes widen feeling… toned abs.
“Woah…feeling a little handsy are we?” Jason responds as he makes it to a stop on a traffic light.
“I didn’t mean it like that!” You felt your face heat up, you really didn’t mean it! But you can tell this sly bastard is cheesing it up behind his helmet.
“I know, relax. But if you want to,” he puts your hand onto his stomach. Patting it. Your gaze went from his abdomen, to his face as you see those blue eyes behind the visor.
“You can.”
Before you could say anything, Jason rides off when the light turned green. Making it repeat to you grabbing onto him with all your might.
Minutes later of some silence, you both made it to the academy. Jason takes off his helmet after parking his bike infront of the school. You unstrapped the helmet from your head whilst Jason just stares at you. He ran his fingers through his hair before taking the helmet from you and putting it up.
“So what’s my payment for the ride leprechaun?” Jason says, staring at you like he does. But the stare is dark, but hidden with something else. You shrugged, awkwardly looking away from him. Jason could only chuckle as he gets in your face. Blue eyes staring into [color] eyes of yours.
You hated payment.
You gave Jason a kiss on his cheek. There Jason finally smiled a genuine smile and patted your head. “Thanks shorty.” You immediately got off his bike and rushed pass him. Ignoring his chuckles at you sprinting away.
Jason couldn’t help but stare til you were in the building. He lets out a sigh, he couldn’t help but close his eyes and clench his jaw. The feeling of you gripping onto him, the feeling of your chest pressed against his back.
He couldn’t help but love how small you are, and how easy it would be to just keep you in his arms.
Forever.
Making it in the building, you let out a sigh of relief. Ever since elementary, Jason was always the one to be the kind that wants Payment from you. All cause of stupid young you who gave him a kiss on his cheek when he gave you a teddy bear you wanted. And you said “That’s your payment Jay-jay.” You were in 4th grade, he was in 5th grade. You would’ve thought he might’ve forgotten that… but now you know..
He does.
You reached your locker, opening it and putting your phone and other things in it. As you go to close it, you feel strong arms wrapped around you. You let out yelp, a low chuckle reaches your ear before you sighed and turned to face the culprit.
Dick Grayson.

Synopsis: Dabi finds unexpected solace and love in the arms of an ordinary woman he once saved, proving that even the darkest hearts can find their way home
A/N: this episode left me heartbroken for my poor Touya, so I decided to treat him with love he deserves. I'm utterly sad 😢
MY HERO ACADEMIA MASTERLIST - PART II
The wind whipped through Dabi's hair as he stood atop an abandoned building, leaning against the edge of the rooftop with his hands stuffed deep into his coat pockets. The city below was a mess of flickering neon signs and honking traffic, a world that moved on, unaware of the moments happening above it. For once, the usually calm and collected villain felt a knot in his stomach — a nervousness he hadn’t experienced in years. He hated this. Hated how you, a mere ordinary citizen, managed to make him feel things he thought were long dead inside him. But he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t help the way his pulse quickened when he thought about you.
"She’s not gonna come," he muttered to himself, voice rough, filled with doubt. He almost scoffed at the idea of you agreeing to this date. Why would you? You were sweet, kind, and everything he was not. And he… well, he was Dabi, the infamous villain with a reputation that made grown men tremble. It was laughable, really.
But then, like a flicker of light in the darkness, he heard footsteps approaching from the stairwell. He turned his head sharply, heart pounding in his ears. And there you were, panting softly from the climb, with that same fire in your eyes that had caught his attention months ago.
The first time you met him, you’d been terrified.
You were on your way home after a long shift at the café, your feet aching and your mind foggy with exhaustion. The streets were eerily quiet, shadows stretching under the dim streetlights, and an unsettling feeling crept up your spine. You pulled your jacket tighter around yourself, trying to shake off the chill, but it only deepened when you glanced back and saw him — a violent drunk man, staggering and leering, closing in on you.
“Hey,” he slurred, his breath reeking of cheap liquor, “why you in such a hurry, sweetheart?”
Panic constricted your throat, and you picked up your pace, desperately hoping he’d lose interest. But just as you thought you might be safe, you felt it — a rough hand gripping your wrist, yanking you back with an iron grip, alcohol-stained, heavy breath fanning your cheek. “Don’t walk away from me,” he growled, his voice low and threatening. “I’m talking to you.”
The fear froze you in place, every muscle locked up as you struggled against his hold, feeling utterly helpless. Your heart pounded in your chest, a drumbeat of despair echoing in your ears. The man leaned closer, and you could smell the sour stench of alcohol on him. Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, he stepped even closer, his predatory grin making your skin crawl.
But then, out of nowhere, a brilliant blue light erupted in the alleyway.
The drunk man was thrown back with a force that sent him crashing into the wall, his body convulsing as tendrils of flame danced all over his clothes.
You gasped, your eyes widening in shock, your heart racing with terror and confusion.
And there he was — Dabi — stepping out of the shadows, his hand glowing with an eerie, azure fire. The sight was both mesmerizing and horrifying. You had seen his face plastered across the news, heard whispered stories about the villain who left nothing but ashes in his wake.
The drunk man’s eyes widened in shock, fear eclipsing his bravado as he scrambled back, trying to put the flames down. "S-stop!"
Dabi's lips curled into a smirk, and with that, he thrust his hand forward, sending a burst of fire that engulfed the man in a blinding flash instantly.
You dropped to your knees, trembling as the heat washed over you. Your breath hitched, and the world around you blurred as you tried to comprehend what you had just witnessed.
The man screamed — a horrific, animalistic, gut-wrenching sound that echoed in the night — before falling silent, consumed by the flames, reduced to a charred skeleton.
The fear that had gripped you was now compounded by the dread that Dabi might turn those flames on you next. You felt your heart race even faster, and you dropped your gaze, feeling utterly powerless, on the brink of fainting.
But then Dabi stepped forward, the fire fading from his hand as he turned to look down at you. His turquoise eyes searched yours as he grasped you by the elbow, firmly yanking you back to your feet.
“Ya okay?” he asked, his voice low and raspy.
You blinked up at him, initially avoiding looking into his eyes, more than a little surprised. A villain just asked how were you holding up. “I… I don’t know,” you managed, your voice shaking. The adrenaline surged through your veins, and the sheer intensity of the moment left you breathless. “You just… you just burned that man alive...”
"Yeah, no shit, Sherlock. He had it coming."
You felt a rush of conflicting emotions — fear, awe, and something inexplicable that made your heart race. “You saved me,” you whispered, your mind still racing. “Why?” a question followed, your voice barely above a whisper.
He shrugged, his gaze flicking away, an almost reluctant admission slipping through. “Maybe I just hate people like him,” he muttered, sounding defensive. “Maybe he pissed me off. Who knows, doll?”
That night had been terrifying, but it was also the beginning of something you never expected — an attraction to a man who was everything society warned you about.
"You’re late," he teased, though there was no malice in his tone. It was almost… gentle, for him.
You shot him a playful glare, smoothing down your white shirt that hugged your body in all the right places, and your skin-tight jeans that left little to the imagination. "You’re the one who told me to meet you on the rooftop of an abandoned building," you shot back, rolling your eyes. "It’s not exactly an easy place to find, you know."
He smirked, unable to hide the way his eyes roved over your figure, lingering perhaps a bit too long on your boobs. "Can’t blame me for wanting some privacy, doll," he drawled, the nickname slipping out effortlessly. It was a habit now, one that you’d come to expect from him.
A shiver ran down your spine at the way his voice deepened, roughened around the edges, and you swallowed, feeling suddenly self-conscious under his gaze. But there was no judgment in his eyes — only a heat that made your heart race.
"Why here?" you asked, motioning around to the empty rooftop. "It’s a bit… unconventional, don’t you think?"
Dabi shrugged, looking away from you, staring out at the city lights instead. "Thought you’d appreciate it," he said simply. "Away from prying eyes. Besides," he paused, his lips curling into that familiar, crooked grin, "I didn’t want anyone else getting in the way."
You stepped closer, drawn to him like a moth to a flame, despite knowing how dangerous he was. "I thought you’d be used to people looking, Dabi," you teased, trying to ease the tension. "You’re not exactly inconspicuous."
He chuckled, a sound that was more of a low rumble, and finally turned to face you fully. "Maybe I’m just getting soft," he mused. "Or maybe," his voice dropped, softer now, "I just don’t want to share this with anyone else."
Your breath hitched, and for a moment, all you could do was stare at him. There were so many things you wanted to ask, so many things you didn’t understand about him. But the way he looked at you now, like you were the only person in this entire city that mattered — it made your questions scatter like ashes in the wind.
"You know," you started, trying to hide the nervousness in your tone, "I was really surprised when you asked me out."
"Yeah?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Why’s that?"
You took a breath, choosing your words carefully. "I mean… you’re Dabi," you said. "I didn’t think someone like you would be interested in someone like me. And we rarely spoke from the moment you saved me. If not counting you stalking me around.”
There was a beat of silence before he spoke again, his voice uncharacteristically soft. "You’d be surprised, doll," he murmured. "Turns out, even villains can have a thing for ordinary girls, especially as sweet as you. And I just wanted to make sure you were safe.”
You felt your cheeks warm, and you looked away, flustered. "You know," you said, trying to regain your composure, "when I first met you, I was terrified."
He laughed, a genuine sound that sent shivers down your spine. "I’d be worried if you weren’t," he replied, the corner of his mouth twitching up. "But you stuck around anyway."
"Yeah," you admitted, meeting his gaze again. "I did."
"Why?" The question slipped from his lips before he could stop himself. He needed to know. Needed to understand.
You hesitated, then took another step closer until you were standing right in front of him. "Because I saw something in you," you whispered. "Something more than just this villain persona."
He stared at you, his heart pounding so loudly in his ears that he almost couldn’t hear your words. And for the first time in a long time, Dabi was scared — not of being rejected, but of the hope that was blossoming in his chest.
"Is it… okay if I…" His voice trailed off, uncharacteristically uncertain. You knew what he was asking, and you nodded, a small smile playing on your lips.
"You’re really asking permission? " you teased gently, leaning in closer. "How polite of you."
"Don’t get used to it," he shot back, but his words lacked their usual bite. And then, without waiting another second, he closed the distance between you, capturing your lips in a kiss that was somehow both desperate and gentle, like he’d been waiting for this moment his entire life.
Your arms wrapped around his neck, and you felt him relax against you, his hands moving to rest on your hips. You could feel the heat radiating off him, the warmth of his body contrasting with the chill of the night air. It was intoxicating, the way he kissed you — like he was afraid you might disappear if he didn’t hold you close enough.
When you finally pulled away, breathless, Dabi pressed his forehead against yours, eyes still closed. "You’re not scared of me anymore," he murmured, and it wasn’t a question. It was a realization, one that made something inside him soften.
"No," you agreed, smiling softly. "I’m not."
"Good," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "Because I’m not letting you go."
You laughed, the sound light and carefree, and he felt something inside him stir — something that he hadn’t felt in years. "I wouldn’t want you to," you confessed, and his eyes snapped open, staring at you with an intensity that made your heart skip a beat.
"Come," he said, pulling you towards the other edge of the rooftop. "I want to show you something."
You followed him, leaning against his side as he pointed towards the sky. "See that?" he murmured, his voice rough against your ear. "That’s Orion’s Belt."
You tilted your head, squinting up at the stars. "Mmm, look at you, are you keen on astronomy?" you asked, genuinely curious.
He shrugged, looking almost sheepish. "Had a lot of time on my hands," he admitted. “Thought I might learn a thing or two to woo girls.”
You laughed again, and Dabi couldn’t help but smile at the sound. It was infectious, the way your happiness seemed to bleed into him, warming the cold parts of him that he’d thought were beyond saving.
"I never thought I’d be here," he confessed, surprising even himself with his honesty. "Never thought I’d find someone who could make me feel this way."
You turned to face him, your expression soft. "And how do I make you feel?" you asked, your voice barely more than a whisper.
He looked at you, really looked at you, and for once, he didn’t try to hide. "Like I’m not alone," he uttered simply.
You reached up, brushing a strand of black hair away from his eyes. "You’re not," you promised, and when he kissed you again, it was softer this time — gentler, like he was savoring every moment.
As the two of you stood there, wrapped in each other’s arms, the city buzzing beneath you, the stars shining above, Dabi knew that he’d found something worth fighting for.
“You ever think about how things would be different if we hadn’t met that night?” you asked suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between you. Your voice was soft, contemplative, and Dabi felt his chest tighten at the thought.
“Probably wouldn’t have gotten this far,” he admitted, his tone laced with an honesty he rarely allowed himself. “Would’ve kept burning everything until there was nothing left.”
You turned your head to look at him, a small, sad smile playing on your lips. “You’re not just made of rage, Dabi,” you said quietly. “There’s more to you than that.”
He snorted, rolling his eyes, but there was no real heat behind it. “You always gotta be so damn optimistic?” he muttered, though his lips twitched upwards, betraying the fondness he felt.
“Someone’s got to be,” you teased back, nudging him gently with your shoulder.
Dabi’s gaze softened as he looked at you, his usual sardonic mask slipping away to reveal the raw vulnerability underneath. “You’re not scared of me,” he murmured, more to himself than to you. “Not anymore."
You shook your head, reaching up to cup his cheek, your thumb brushing over one of the patches of rough, scarred skin. “No,” you whispered. “I’m not.”
For a moment, neither of you moved, the world around you fading into the background as you stood there, lost in each other’s gaze. And then, without warning, Dabi slipped his arms around your waist, pulling you against him as he rested his chin on top of your head. He held you there, feeling the warmth of your body against his, the steady rise and fall of your breathing, and for the first time in as long as he could remember, Dabi felt safe.
"Do you know how long I’ve wanted this?” he whispered against your hair, his voice barely more than a breath. “To hold you like this?”
You closed your eyes, leaning into him, feeling the steady thrum of his heartbeat beneath your fingertips. "I was scared at first," you admitted, your voice trembling slightly. "But now… I don’t want to be anywhere else."
He tightened his hold on you, burying his face in the crook of your neck, inhaling the faint scent of your shampoo, the warmth of your skin. It was intoxicating, this feeling of being so close to you, of knowing that you weren’t going to disappear, weren’t going to leave him behind.
"I never thought I’d have this," he murmured, his lips brushing against your temple.
You turned in his arms, tilting your head up to look at him, and Dabi felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of your smile — soft, genuine, and so full of love that it made his chest ache. “You deserve to be happy, Dabi,” you said, your voice steady and sure. “You deserve to be loved.”
His breath caught in his throat, and for a moment, all he could do was stare at you, his mind racing with a thousand different emotions. And then, before he could stop himself, he leaned down and kissed you, slow and gentle, like he was savoring every second. You melted against him, your hands tangling in his hair, and he felt something inside him break apart, something that had been locked away for far too long.
When he finally pulled away, Dabi rested his forehead against yours, his arms still wrapped tightly around your waist. "You’re gonna be the death of me, doll," he muttered, but there was no bite to his words, only warmth.
You laughed softly, leaning up to press a kiss to the corner of his mouth. "Maybe," you agreed, "but I’ll make sure you’re happy first."
He smiled, a real, genuine smile that made his eyes crinkle at the edges, and he pressed a soft kiss to the top of your head. "Promise?"
“Promise,” you whispered, and as the two of you stood there, wrapped in each other’s arms, gazing up at the stars, Dabi felt, for the first time in his life, that maybe, just maybe, he was going to experience real love.

malevolence


part II
Pairing: Demon!Dean x Bobby's!Niece!Reader
Summary: After finding out Dean is possessed by a demon, Bobby has sent you away to one of his cabins. One you didn't even know existed. One that's supposed to be safe.
Warnings: 18+!, language, violence, manipulation, gaslighting, corruption, pining, smut (kissing, spitting, marking, fingering, oral/cunnilingus, p in v, implied breeding kink, rough sex, dirty talk, mildly dubious consent, cum-play), I may have missed some.
Word Count: 4,886
A/N: Ahhhhh. Need him in a way that's dangerous to my insides. God, I'm so gross. Anyways, I hope y'all like this as much as I liked imagining it ahaha. <3 Again... these gifs. Ugh. The is part two, so... part three will probably be up later (depending on how high my motivation levels stay) but failing that, definitely tomorrow. I'm gonna state now, for the record, that I have literally been typing so fast today (my best is 90wpm, but it's been like 97wpm today... don't know why, and I am not complaining) so I imagine I'm probably gonna post a few more things today/tonight. All the love.
You didn’t talk much on the drive.
Rufus had filled the silence just fine on his own—grumbling about Bobby, cursing the road, complaining about how “the old bastard always pulled shit like this,” like building a secret cabin deep in the woods was a personal betrayal. You’d nodded a few times, given the occasional hum, but your thoughts were somewhere else entirely.
Still back at the house. Still pressed to the counter. Still trembling under hands that hadn’t belonged to Dean, even if they’d felt like him.
That was the part that made you sick.
That it hadn’t felt wrong. Not then. Not until later. Not until the holy water. The hiss. The look in Bobby’s eyes when he said the words out loud.
That thing ain’t Dean.
You’d clutched your bottle of water tighter and nodded along as Rufus cursed at the trees.
This cabin wasn’t like the others. You’d been to all of Bobby’s usual places over the years—run-down hunter shacks tucked off forgotten dirt roads, where the walls smelled like smoke and the furniture creaked if you breathed wrong.
But this place… this place felt like it didn’t want to be found.
The drive to it had been nothing more than an overgrown trail, barely wide enough for the truck, weaving through the trees like it had no destination. It hadn’t even looked like a road. Just forest and shadows and the steady hum of wheels over roots.
And then, without warning, the woods had opened their mouth and spit it out.
The cabin was small, sun-bleached, older than it looked. Tucked into the edge of a lake like it had been forgotten there, hidden away from the rest of the world. The water stretched out endlessly behind it, framed by trees so dense they swallowed the horizon. The kind of place that didn’t exist on maps. That didn’t want to be remembered.
Rufus had carried the groceries inside. He hadn’t asked if you were okay.
He hadn’t needed to.
He left with a muttered warning—“Don’t open the door unless it’s me or Bobby”—and then he was gone.
Now it was just you.
You sat on the old couch, knees pulled to your chest, Bobby’s shirt still wrapped around your shoulders. It didn’t feel as safe as it used to. It smelled like the kitchen. Like last night.
Like him.
The silence was thick. Heavier than you expected. There were no hums of traffic. No creak of floorboards overhead. Just the faint groan of the old wood settling and the occasional hush of wind through the trees.
You hadn’t even known this place existed. Bobby had never brought you here. Not once. And that meant something. That meant he was scared.
You reached for your phone, screen glowing too bright in the dim cabin light. One bar. Maybe two.
It’d have to be enough. You hit call and held it to your ear. The dial tone echoed through the room like it didn’t belong there. Like nothing here did. Like you didn’t.
You didn’t know what you were going to say. Only that you needed to hear his voice. Only that you needed someone to tell you it was going to be okay—even if it wasn’t.
The first ring had barely finished before he answered.
“You okay?”
No hello. No soft landing. Just Bobby’s voice, all gravel and bark, tight around the edges like he hadn’t unclenched his jaw since you left.
You swallowed. “Yeah,” you said quietly. “I’m okay.”
From the other end of the line, you could hear another voice. Faint, indistinct, but familiar. That rhythm, that tone. You knew it.
“Rufus got me here fine,” you added, curling further into yourself on the couch. “Helped me carry the groceries in. Told me not to answer the door unless it’s him or you.”
Bobby didn’t answer right away. You heard the soft creak of wood, the shift of weight. He was moving—probably pacing, probably pinching the bridge of his nose, probably working through ten things he didn’t know how to say.
You hesitated. “Is that Sam I hear?”
“Yeah,” Bobby muttered, like he didn’t love confirming it. “Boy showed up a few hours ago. We’re tryin’ to figure out what the hell’s goin’ on with Dean.”
You pressed your thumb to the seam of the flannel wrapped around your shoulders and stayed quiet.
In the background, Sam’s voice floated through the phone, clearer this time. “Can I talk to her?”
A beat. Some rustling. Then Bobby’s voice again, closer.
“You up for that?”
You nodded before realising he couldn’t see it. “Yeah. It’s okay.”
There was the muffled scrape of the phone changing hands, and then Sam’s voice—softer, lower, with that same cautious care he’d always had when you were younger and crying in the backseat of Bobby’s car after a nightmare.
“Hey.”
Your chest ached. You hadn’t realised how much you needed to hear that voice.
“Hey,” you whispered back.
“What happened?” He asked gently. “With Dean.”
Your breath hitched. For a second, you almost didn’t answer.
“He… he was flirting with me. Like, really flirting. Touching me like he thought he had some kind of claim.” You paused. “It wasn’t like him. Not really.”
You didn’t say more. You didn’t have to.
Sam let out a long, rough sigh. You could almost picture him rubbing a hand down his face.
“Dammit. He—he made a deal,” he said. “After Dad died. I didn’t know at the time. He didn’t tell me. I guess we’re still trying to figure out the details, but… yeah. It tracks.”
You closed your eyes. Let your head tip back against the couch cushion. Something settled cold in your chest. More shuffling, more rustling, and then Bobby’s voice returned, cutting through the static like a knife.
“Alright, listen to me. You stay put, you hear? You don’t go outside. You don’t open that door unless it’s me or Rufus. I’ll come get you when it’s safe.”
You let the silence stretch a little too long.
“Why didn’t I know about this place?” You asked. “This cabin. I’ve been to all the others. Why keep this one secret?”
You could hear the scoff in his throat before he said it.
“You don’t need to know all my damn business, girl. But this?” He paused. “This is exactly why I got places like that. Tucked away, quiet. In case the world decides to go sideways.”
It already had.
Bobby exhaled into the receiver, and something about the sound made your throat go tight.
“Be safe,” he said, and it landed more like a plea than a command.
“I love you,” you said, barely above a breath.
There was a pause. Then:
“Yeah,” he said gruffly. “You too, kid.”
The line clicked dead. And just like that, you were alone again. The silence swelled. The wind moved through the trees like a warning. The lake held its breath. And you sat in the quiet, trying to remember which part of you had wanted him to kiss you back.
You must’ve dozed off somewhere around the second shootout.
The Western on Bobby’s old VHS copy had long since fuzzed into that flickering loop of gunfire and tumbleweeds, the dialogue dipping in and out like the tape was gasping for breath. The couch underneath you was stiff and uneven, the cushions worn thin from age, but you hadn’t meant to fall asleep there. You’d meant to just… rest your eyes.
The creak that woke you was sharp and sudden.
You blinked, sitting up fast, breath catching as you looked around the dim room. The air was cooler now, the lake wind whistling faint through the old cabin walls. The only light came from the television—flickers of orange and white against the far wall as some nameless cowboy fired off another round into the dust.
You exhaled slowly.
It was just the wind. Just the old wood groaning under its own weight.
You stretched, arms lifting above your head as you yawned. Your body ached. Your mouth was dry. You rubbed your eyes with the heel of your hand and glanced toward the dark hallway leading to the bedroom.
Time to sleep somewhere that didn’t smell like mildew and motor oil.
You pushed yourself up from the couch. And then—
Knock knock knock.
You froze. Your heart lurched in your chest, sharp and immediate.
What the hell—
Your head turned toward the front door, still half-shrouded in shadow, the porch light outside long dead. The knock hadn’t been frantic. It hadn’t been loud. It had been gentle.
You took a step back without meaning to, bare heel brushing the edge of the rug. Bobby hadn’t called. Rufus hadn’t either. No one should be here.
Knock knock.
Again. Softer. Closer. And then—
“Sweetheart.”
Your stomach dropped.
The voice was low. Familiar. Soothing in the way only his ever had been. That gentle hush he used when you were little and bleeding from a scraped knee, shaking too hard to hold still while he cleaned the cut. The same tone he’d used when he’d called you over to sit on the hood of the Impala while the sun set, a bottle of Coke in one hand, his flannel hanging open.
Like that voice still lived in your bones.
“C’mon, open up,” he said. “S’just me.”
Your breath caught.
You took a step forward. Tiny. Barely there. The kind of step you could pretend hadn’t happened if someone asked.
His voice came through the door like a ghost.
“I’ve been lookin’ everywhere for you.”
Another step. Your fingers curled at your sides.
“Didn’t mean to scare you, baby. You know that, right? I just… I needed to see you. Needed to talk.”
The TV flickered behind you—gunfire, dust, a man dying in the dirt. You barely noticed it.
Dean’s voice was all you could hear.
“You left so fast. Thought maybe you were scared of me or somethin’.” A pause. A low, breathy sound that might’ve been a laugh. “Ain’t nothing to be scared of. You know me.”
You shook your head—but it was slow, weak, like your body didn’t fully believe it.
You did know him. You knew the curve of that voice. The rhythm of those words. But something behind them was wrong. You took another step anyway.
“Open the door for me, sweetheart,” he murmured, soft as sin. “Let me see you.”
You were at the edge of the rug now. One more step and you’d be on the old wood floor. Another after that and your fingers would be at the lock. Your heart thudded painfully against your ribs. You knew it wasn’t him. You knew. But God, he sounded so much like home.
“C’mon, sweetheart… please.”
It wasn’t the word that undid you—it was how he said it.
Like he meant it. Like he was standing on the other side of that old wood with his shoulders slumped and his head low, like the world had been too cruel to him and you were the only thing that ever made it better. Like he was yours.
Your throat worked around a breath.
“Dean?”
It slipped out before you could stop it. A whisper. A prayer. And then—God—you heard it.
That smirk. Not loud. Not sharp. Just a bend in the syllables, a smile shaping the air between you. Like he knew you’d say it. Like he’d been waiting for it.
“Yeah,” he said, low and warm. “It’s me, sweetheart.”
Your hand lifted slightly. Your fingers brushed the edge of the doorknob.
“I need to see you. I’ve been lookin’ everywhere. You just… vanished.” His voice dropped, like it hurt to say it. “Thought I lost you.”
Your breath hitched. You stared at the door like it might open on its own.
“I... I can’t,” you said. It came out soft, shaking. “Bobby said not to let anyone in.”
“He was wrong,” Dean said immediately. “That wasn’t me, not really. The demon—it’s gone. It left.”
You froze.
“That’s not possible,” you whispered. “They don’t just leave. Not unless—”
“I’m hurt,” he said quickly. “Real bad. Demon can’t stay in a busted vessel. You know that. C’mon, sweetheart, think.”
Your mind was spinning. The words made sense, sort of—but they didn’t feel right. Still, he sounded like Dean. He sounded like the man who used to carry you on his shoulders, who used to patch up your scrapes and call you kid and ruffle your hair and smirk like nothing could ever touch him.
“I don’t—” You swallowed. “I don’t know if I can believe you.”
“I wouldn’t lie to you.” His voice dropped into something soft, velvet-slick and breaking. “You know me. You know me. I’ve known you since you were a little thing, running around Bobby’s yard with dirt on your cheeks and that oversized t-shirt draggin’ past your knees. You think I don’t remember that?”
Your breath caught. Your feet inched forward.
“You always climbed into my lap when you got scared during storms. You’d knock on my door at two in the morning just ‘cause you couldn’t sleep. Used to tuck your cold feet under me on the couch like I was your personal furnace.” He let out a small, breathy chuckle. “Used to drive me crazy.”
Your fingers curled around the lock.
“I never stopped thinkin’ about you, y’know that?” His voice was quieter now. Closer. Like his mouth was just against the wood. “When I was on the road. When things got hard. I kept seeing your face.”
You pressed your forehead to the door. Eyes closed.
“Please, sweetheart,” he whispered. “Open the door. Just let me see you.”
Your hand tightened on the lock.
“I missed you.”
The words landed like a punch to the ribs.
“I miss you,” he repeated, gentler now. Like confession. Like sin wrapped in satin.
Your thumb hovered over the latch. The lock clicked open with a sound that felt too loud in the silence. Your hand fell away like it didn’t belong to you anymore, your body moving without permission, chest tight and limbs heavy as the door creaked open to reveal him.
Dean.
Leaning against the doorframe, bruised and dusted with blood, eyes catching the moonlight in that soft, impossibly familiar way. Hair mussed. Jeans low on his hips. Flannel half-unbuttoned and clinging to a sweat-slick chest.
He looked like he’d crawled out of a nightmare just to find you.
And he smiled.
“Hey, sweetheart.”
You didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. And then—he was on you. Strong hands grabbed the backs of your thighs, palms squeezing hard enough to bruise as he lifted you like you weighed nothing, slammed the door shut with his boot, and pressed you back against it—hard.
Your breath punched out of you on impact.
He shoved his hips forward, grinding into you through his jeans, his chest flush against yours, mouth dragging along your throat before you could even make a sound.
“Oh, sweetheart,” he rasped against your skin, voice pure velvet and filth. “I knew you’d let me in. You've always been a good girl.”
His tongue licked up your neck, slow and hungry, like he could taste the guilt trembling beneath your skin.
“That’s it,” he whispered, hips grinding harder as you whimpered. “You missed me, didn’t you? All alone up here, touchin’ yourself thinking about me.”
You shuddered.
“You… you lied to me,” you breathed, fingers curling into his shirt like you couldn’t decide whether to pull him closer or shove him away.
He groaned low in your ear, like the accusation turned him on.
“Yeah,” he said, no apology in it. Just smug, satisfied heat. “Sure did.”
His mouth was on your throat again, teeth grazing, lips dragging open-mouthed kisses down the column of your neck as his fingers dug harder into your thighs.
“But you opened that door anyway,” he murmured. “Didn’t you?”
You gasped.
“You’re not—” Your voice broke. “You’re not Dean.”
He pulled back. Just an inch. Just far enough to look at you.
The expression on his face made your blood run cold—mock-hurt, mock-surprised, like he was wounded that you’d even suggest it. His head tilted slightly, eyes narrowing, lips curling into that crooked, devastating smirk.
“Ouch, baby.” He said, soft as sin.
You stared at him, searching his face for the man you used to know—the man who used to call you kid and ruffle your hair and carry you on his shoulders.
But the man in front of you? He looked the same. He felt the same.
And still, he wasn’t.
He leaned in again, lips brushing yours.
“You think I'd let a demon wear me like a goddamn suit, sweetheart?” His voice dipped darker. “I made a deal.”
His grip on your thighs tightened, grinding his cock up into the heat of you through thin cotton as you gasped.
“I’m still me,” he whispered against your lips, breath warm and full of smoke. “Just... better.”
“Why the hell would you do that?” You whispered, breath catching in your throat as his hands gripped tighter, his hips still rolling slow and devastating between your thighs.
His mouth brushed your jaw, breath warm as sin.
“Why I did it doesn’t matter,” he said, like the answer wasn’t worth your time. “All you need to know is I don’t have that pesky guilt in the way anymore. Nothin’ holding me back.”
He thrust forward just right—hard enough to grind against that perfect spot between your legs, and a sharp little whine slipped out of you before you could stop it. God, you hated that sound. Because it was real. It was need. You hated yourself for it.
“You’re a goddamn fool,” you spat, but your voice was thin. Weak. Your body wasn’t moving away—it was pressing in, arching, wanting.
He laughed—low and delighted, like the sound had been waiting in his throat since you opened the door.
“Yeah?” He murmured, lips brushing your cheek as he nipped at your skin, gentle but stinging. “Well, maybe I’m a fool for you.”
His fingers dragged up the back of your thighs, under the flannel and over the hem of Bobby’s old shirt, bunching it at your hips.
“You think I didn’t see this coming?” He whispered, breath thick and warm in your ear. “You think I didn’t know what I was doing? Leavin’ little touches here and there, letting you catch me looking?” His hand slid between your legs, cupping you through your panties, palm heavy and hot. “You were always gonna be mine. All I had to do was wait.”
You gasped, hands curling into his shirt, your knees trembling where they locked around his hips. You wanted to push him away. You wanted to scream. But instead, your head tipped back as he ground into you again, your breath hitching on a moan.
“You wanted this too,” he rasped. “Didn’t you?”
You didn’t answer. Couldn’t. Because your body already had.
“You know what the best part is?” He breathed, rocking his hips into you slow, dragging against the soaked cotton between your legs. “You don’t even know how fucked you are.”
You shivered.
“Bobby tried to keep you out of all this,” he said, tone thick with mock-affection. “Kept you tucked away in his little salvage yard like some precious thing. Thought he could keep the world off you. Thought he could keep me off you.”
His hand slipped beneath your panties. Two fingers dragging through your slick like he already knew what he’d find.
“Guess he was wrong.”
You whimpered. He groaned, forehead dropping to yours, mouth open against your lips.
“You’re soaked for me,” he whispered, his voice wrecked and reverent. “Fuck. You were made for this.”
His forehead pressed to yours, lips brushing close, breath warm and uneven as his fingers dragged slow and steady between your thighs, slick and unholy. Your pulse fluttered in your throat, shallow and fast, like something caged.
“Tell me,” he whispered, the words grazing your mouth. “You wanna finish what we started last night in the kitchen?”
Your lips parted, but no sound came out.
You should say no. You know you should. Bobby’s voice still echoed in your head. All his warnings. All his rules. But all you could do was stare into Dean’s eyes—those wild, dark eyes burning with something you couldn’t name. Something ancient and wrecked and his. And he was looking back at you like you were already his prize. Like he’d already won.
He slid his fingers deeper—still teasing, still slow. Your hips jumped against his hand.
He chuckled against your lips. “You always were too fuckin’ cute for your own good.”
You whimpered. God. You hated yourself for it.
His mouth curled, cruel and soft at once.
“I’m only gonna ask one more time,” he murmured, voice low and sweet and merciless. “And then I decide for you.”
You swallowed hard. Tried to form a word. Tried to say no, even if you didn’t mean it. But all that came out was a soft, desperate sound—broken and breathless.
Dean smiled like a wolf.
“Good enough,” he whispered, and then he bit your bottom lip—hard enough to sting, soft enough to make you moan—and slid his fingers deep, curling them just right.
Your head slammed back against the door with a gasp.
“Oh, that’s it, baby,” he murmured, mouth dragging along your jaw. “That’s my girl. Fuck, you’re tight. You were made for me.”
You whimpered again, breath hitching, thighs twitching around his wrist.
“Look at you,” he whispered. “Comin’ apart already. You like this, huh? Like being pinned up like some sweet little trophy, legs spread, crying on my fingers while you pretend it ain’t what you wanted.”
You shook your head weakly, but it was already too late. Your hips were rocking down into his hand, chasing every thrust, every curl, every filthy word like they were gospel.
“You’re doin’ so good,” he crooned. “Taking me so good, sweetheart. Fucking perfect.”
Your body was shaking, breath coming in short, sharp bursts. The pleasure was white-hot, crawling up your spine like fire. Your hands clutched at his shoulders, nails digging in, eyes wide with helpless need.
“That’s it,” he growled. “Let go. Wanna feel you fall apart for me. C’mon, sweetheart. Gimme everything.”
And then you did.
You came with a choked cry, body spasming against the door, thighs clamping down around his wrist as he fucked you through it—low groans and breathy praise spilling hot against your throat.
“Just like that. Fuck, that’s it. That’s my good girl. So fuckin’ pretty when you come.”
You were still panting, still reeling, when he eased his fingers free and caught you as your knees buckled.
He sank to the floor with you—dragged you with him—and pulled you into his lap, your legs straddling his hips, the old flannel riding up high on your thighs.
His hands smoothed up your sides, slow and greedy, like he needed to memorise the shape of you. And then he pulled you down, mouth crashing into yours. Hot. Hungry. Possessive. You kissed him back like it might save you.
And maybe it already ruined you.
You kissed him like you were drowning. Hands gripping his shirt, thighs locked around his waist, breath hot and shaking as you let him drag you down against his lap like it meant something. Like this was still the boy who used to drive you to the gas station for slushies and let you win at poker even when you cheated. Like this was still Dean.
But then the heat started to fade. Then the weight of what you were doing settled sharp in your chest. You pulled back. Just an inch. Just enough to breathe.
“I can’t,” you whispered, voice raw. “Dean, I—I shouldn’t…”
His eyes snapped open, green and molten, his hands still gripping your hips. And then he smiled. Soft. Sweet. Deadly.
“Shhh,” he whispered, smoothing a hand up your back. “You don’t have to do anything, sweetheart. Just let me take care of you. That’s all I’ve ever wanted.”
You froze.
He leaned in, mouth brushing your cheek.
“You know that, don’t you? I’ve always wanted to protect you. Always wanted to keep you safe.”
His hand slid between your legs, fingers curling around the edge of your panties, pulling them aside so slowly it felt like sin.
“You don’t need anyone else,” he murmured. “Just me. Only me.”
Your breath hitched.
His cock was hard against your thigh, already freed from his jeans, thick and heavy and hot where it pressed against you. You should’ve moved. Should’ve run. But his hands were on your hips again, guiding you, lining you up like he’d done it a hundred times in his head.
And maybe he had.
“I only need you,” he whispered, like a prayer. “Been needin’ you for years.”
You whimpered—low and helpless—as he dragged your hips down, just enough to let the head of his cock catch at your entrance, slick and throbbing.
“Dean—” Your voice cracked.
“I know,” he said, eyes on yours. “You’re scared. But you don’t have to be. You’re safe with me.”
And then he pressed up into you.
You gasped—choked—as he sank in slow and steady, stretching you wide, pulling you open inch by inch while his hands gripped your thighs, holding you there like you were something holy.
“F-fuck,” he groaned, head tipping back. “You feel… fuck, you feel like heaven.”
His eyes flickered. Just for a second. Black. Sharp and bottomless. And then green again—bright, burning, feral.
“Goddamn,” he breathed, hips thrusting up hard, dragging a broken sound from your lips. “You were made for this.”
You shook your head weakly, but your hips rocked into his anyway, body moving on instinct.
He grinned—mean and hungry.
“Yeah. That’s it. That’s my girl.”
His grip on your thighs tightened, pulling you down harder as he fucked up into you, thick and deep and filthy, his voice a constant hum against your skin.
“You’re not goin’ anywhere,” he said, panting, his brow furrowed in that same reverent way he used to look at you when you curled up next to him during old Westerns. “You’re mine now.”
You whimpered, hands clinging to his shoulders like they were the only thing holding you together.
“Might as well stop fighting it, sweetheart,” he growled, thrusts getting rougher, sloppier, meaner. “You don’t wanna fight it. You never did.”
He was right. God help you—he was right.
You didn’t even have time to scream. One second you were in his lap, his cock still buried deep, your body trembling from the stretch of him—
And the next? You were on your back, flat against the cabin floor. Hard. The impact knocked the breath from your lungs. You gasped—but nothing came. Your mouth opened wide, your chest convulsed, and still—no air.
You stared up at him in stunned panic, lips parted, eyes wide, lungs heaving like they’d forgotten how to work. And Dean—Dean—just grinned down at you, all wicked teeth and devilish delight, his chest rising and falling above you.
“Well shit,” he chuckled, his voice smug and low and wrong. “Knocked the wind right outta you, huh?”
Your fingers clawed at the floor, body twisting underneath him, but he only pressed in harder, pinning your wrists above your head with one hand, the other gripping your thigh and pulling it higher, opening you wide.
“Look at you,” he murmured, and then he thrust—deep and brutal, knocking what little breath you’d managed to drag in right back out.
“Clenching up on me so damn tight,” he growled, eyes flicking black, staying black. “Can’t even breathe, and you’re still squeezin’ me like you never wanna let go.”
You whimpered—half from fear, half from pleasure, all of it ruined.
He laughed again, meaner this time, low in his throat like it thrilled him.
“You scared?” He asked, panting as he fucked into you harder now, hips snapping into you with sharp, feral thrusts. “That little panic making you feel even tighter?”
You couldn’t speak. Could barely even think. Your whole body burned. Every nerve raw. Your vision blurred around the edges.
“Fuck, you feel so good,” he groaned, pressing his forehead to yours as he pounded into you. “Like heaven. Like fuckin’ home.”
Tears prickled in your eyes. It was too much. All of it. And then—his voice dropped to a whisper, wrecked and reverent and evil.
“You gonna come for me, sweetheart? Gonna fall apart with my cock inside you?”
You shattered.
Your body arched off the floor, your mouth fell open in a silent cry, and your cunt clenched around him so hard he snarled, fingers bruising your hips as he held you down, fucked you through it, let you ride the edge until your vision went white.
“There she is,” he growled. “That’s my girl. Pretty little thing, takin’ my cock like it’s the only thing she’s ever needed.”
You couldn’t stop crying. Couldn’t stop shaking. And still—he didn’t stop.
“Cry all you want,” he breathed against your cheek. “I'm not done.”
He didn’t slow down. Even after your body stopped convulsing, even after your voice had gone hoarse from the sobs caught in your throat—he didn’t stop. He moved like a man starved, like a beast let loose, like he was trying to bury himself inside you so deep no one else would ever find you there.
And then—he bit you.
Right at the curve of your neck, where your pulse fluttered wild beneath the skin. His teeth sank in, deep and deliberate, until you cried out again—not from pleasure this time, but pain. Sharp. Real. Tearing.
You felt the sting of it, the warmth of blood welling up against your skin.
His tongue followed. Slow. Lapping.
“Told you,” he muttered, voice thick, forehead pressed to yours as his cock throbbed inside you. “You’re mine.”
Another thrust. Brutal. Final. And then he groaned, loud and guttural, as he came deep—hot and heavy, spilling into you like a curse.
You gasped, body twitching beneath him, mind blank with overstimulation and the weight of him still pressing down.
He didn’t pull out. Didn’t move. Just stayed there, buried to the hilt, his breath ragged against your throat.
“You’re never goin’ back,” he whispered, mouth still wet with blood. “Bobby ain’t getting you. Sammy can fuck off. The whole goddamn world can burn for all I care.”
His fingers stroked your cheek, too gentle for the wreckage he’d left behind.
“You’re mine.”
You didn’t answer. Couldn’t. You just laid there—broken and full, neck slick with blood, thighs sticky and trembling—while the wind whispered against the cabin walls and the lake sighed in the distance like it already knew what you’d done.
And somewhere, deep down—past the ache and the guilt and the shame—you didn’t feel scared anymore.
You felt claimed.

—
The cool air blowing through the vents did little to keep you awake, so you reached down to turn up the music. The seat gently vibrated in sync with the bass, almost lulling you to sleep instead of keeping you alert.
You shook your head. Only twenty more minutes.
Trees blurred in your peripheral vision, and the oncoming headlights cut through the thick night fog, almost blinding you. Silently cursing, you squinted as the combination of bright lights and loud music gave you a headache. It wasn’t an ideal situation, but as the people-pleaser you were, you had agreed to cover a shift for a friend. Which normally wouldn’t be too bad if it weren’t the worst shift possible– 3 PM to 11 PM.
Spending the entire day under the harsh fluorescent lights of the office had been miserable, but at least you avoided rush-hour traffic. Now, the highway was deserted, the pavement stretching endlessly ahead, and you took full advantage. The speedometer ticked upward—eighty, ninety—until it settled on a bold 100 mph. You straightened your back, gripping the wheel tighter.
This was the only good part of your night.
You, the open road, and the music moving in sync. Your foot pressed the gas pedal to the beat, the car swaying slightly as you danced along to the rhythm. For a brief moment, freedom rushed through your veins.
Then, your joy was cut short.
Blinding LED headlights filled your rearview mirror.
Despite your already reckless speed, the approaching truck was closing the distance fast, its lights growing brighter by the second. With a frustrated sigh, you flipped the switch on your mirror to dim the glare, but the relief was minimal. You pressed the gas just enough to hold a steady 90 mph, hoping the driver would back off.
They didn’t.
The truck inched closer, practically kissing your bumper. Your patience thinned.
"Where do you have to be right now?" you yelled, throwing your hands in the air before slamming them back onto the wheel.
You refused to speed up any further. You were already pushing legal limits, and there was an entirely open lane to your right. Why isn’t he just going around me? A quick glance in the mirror confirmed your suspicions—a middle-aged man, his expression unreadable.
"Go around me if you're that impatient, grandpa!"
But he didn’t. He just stayed there.
Your jaw tightened as the truck loomed behind you, headlights flooding the interior of your car. And then—just when you thought his lights couldn’t get any more obnoxious—they flickered.
Your irritation flared. Is he seriously flashing his brights at me?
Normally, you avoided road rage. You knew better than to test angry strangers in metal death machines. But today had been a day.
Burning coffee spilled on your chest that morning. The dreadful realization that you had to work this godforsaken shift. The mind-numbing hours spent under soul-sucking office lights. And now, this asshole riding your bumper.
Your nerves snapped.
On the third flicker of his brights, your foot slammed on the brake.
The jolt wasn’t enough to stop the car entirely, just a warning. A signal.
But the truck didn’t back off.
Instead, his brights stayed on—permanently.
Your car felt like the inside of a lightbulb, and the overwhelming glare made it hard to see the road. Your speed dropped slightly as you struggled to focus.
You have got to be kidding me…
This time, your foot hesitated over the brake. You weren’t sure how close he really was. The last thing you needed was an accident.
But fate had other plans.
A deafening horn blast rattled through the night.
The sudden noise startled you, and before you could stop yourself, your foot slammed down—
—on the brake.
Everything happened in an instant.
Your forehead hit the steering wheel, only to be snapped backward by the force of the deploying airbag. The nylon burned against your skin, suffocating and blinding you. Your tires screamed against the pavement as the car spun out of control. Your body strained against the seatbelt as you felt the car dip into the median. A sharp pain shot through your neck as your head slammed against the headrest.
"Fuck..." you groaned.
It was a minor crash, all things considered. But your car? Completely totaled.
The front bumper was crushed into the median railing. The back was crumpled—rammed in by the truck.
The truck.
Adrenaline masked the pain as you forced yourself to move. The car was a mess—your tote bag had spilled across the seats, its contents scattered. You fumbled with your seatbelt, fingers shaking, until—
Click.
You were free.
You sprang into action, anger seizing complete control. The car door slammed behind you as you stomped toward the man’s driver-side door.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? You could have killed us!”
You didn’t care that his door was closed—he was going to hear you.
To your surprise, the man opened the door, unbuckling his seatbelt as if nothing had happened. His truck sat parked on the shoulder, barely touched. A few scratches on the front bumper. No airbags deployed.
Meanwhile, your car was wrecked.
The stark contrast sent a fresh wave of rage through you. Your fist slammed against the hood of his truck—not even a dent.
“You could have just moved over.”
His voice was calm. Unbothered.
The indifference made you freeze.
Eyes wide, you finally looked at him—really looked at him. He was older—dark hair streaked with gray, hands calloused and worn. His lips pressed into a firm line, tired eyes set deep beneath a hardened expression. He had an air of intimidation about him, the kind that came with experience rather than effort. And despite everything—despite the wreck, the rage still simmering in your chest—he was handsome. If you weren’t so pissed off, the way his unwavering gaze dragged over you might’ve made you falter—hell, maybe even blush.
You scoffed at his southern drawl, unimpressed. His voice carried the charm of a gentleman, but his actions were anything but.
“I was there first. You should have moved over.”
He huffed a laugh. “It’s called the fast lane, sweetheart. And I was the faster one.”
You clenched your jaw. “I was going twenty over. Is that not fast enough for you, old man?”
His expression hardened. His eyes dragged over you, then flicked to your totaled car.
“What, you just get your license a month ago? A little speed too much for ya?”
“I’ve been driving for over ten years, and I’ve never met anyone as obnoxious as you.”
“Double that and get back to me, sweetheart.”
The nickname made your eye twitch. The condescension, the complete lack of remorse—it was infuriating. The minutes ticked by, the night stretching darker as the two of you bickered on the side of the empty highway.
Finally, you yanked your phone from your back pocket, the glow illuminating your face as you scrolled to contacts. Turning the screen to him, you snapped, “Put your number in here. I’m getting my insurance card.”
With a grunt, the man took the phone, holding it at an absurd distance from his face. He extended a middle finger, jabbing the screen at a snail’s pace.
You crossed your arms. “Christ, you’re old…”
With the last of your patience slipping away, you turned to your car, lips pressing into a thin line as you took in the damage—worse than you remembered. You yanked open the glove box, rummaging through the mess before pulling out a small booklet of insurance papers.
The crash, the argument, the adrenaline—it had all faded, leaving behind a dull ache stretching from your neck to the back of your head. Each step back to the truck felt heavier than the last.
Joel handed your phone back without a word. He sat in the driver’s seat now, feet propped on the step bar, door wide open. Peering past him, you took in the state of his truck—well-worn, maybe just as old as him. The glove box hung open, spilling out crumpled papers, loose receipts, and junk strewn across the seats. Dirt encrusted the floors, stains lined the fabric, and the entire cab smelled faintly of sweat and sawdust. A typical work truck.
Glancing at your phone screen, you found his name entered stiffly, all caps, on the first line only.
JOEL MILLER.
A small grin tugged at your lips as you fixed the spacing before saving the contact. You sent him a message—just your name—and watched as his phone lit up in confirmation.
Joel cleared his throat. “D’ya got anybody to get you home?”
Your eyes met his. The frustration still simmered, but his question forced you to acknowledge what you’d been avoiding.
His gaze flicked to your wrecked car. “That thing ain’t gettin’ you nowhere, and it’s not safe for a girl like you to be out here this late.”
You huffed. “A girl like me?”
You knew what he meant. You had already run through the worst-case scenarios in your head—alone, stranded, barely past midnight. Every woman’s worst nightmare.
But you weren’t about to let him have the satisfaction of thinking he was doing you a favor.
“Yeah,” Joel said, a playful tone lacing his words, “ones that like to start problems.”
You glanced past him into the truck once again—exactly the kind of scene you were warned to avoid. Cluttered, worn, the kind of place that set off alarms in the back of your mind. But your options were limited—this or the highway.
When you looked back at his face, the sharp edge of his anger had dulled. He no longer looked like the man who had run you off the road, but someone weighed down by exhaustion, just trying to get home—same as you. The toll of a long workweek clung to you both.
He exhaled sharply. “You got a ride or not?”
Your hesitation must’ve been obvious because he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. “Look,” he muttered, flipping the screen toward you.
A blonde girl beamed back, clutching a trophy and soccer ball.
Joel’s expression softened, a quiet, tired smile pulling at his lips.
“I got a daughter,” he said, voice quieter now. “I wouldn’t want her out here like this.”
Something in your chest eased. This was the first time you had seen him smile all night.
“Thank you.” You nodded. “Yeah- uh no, I don’t have a ride.”
Joel motioned toward your car. “I’ll clear a spot. Grab your stuff.”
With a grateful nod, you turned back to the wreck. You reached inside, sifting through the mess until you found the essentials—wallet, keys, and headphones. Tossing them into your bag, you made your way back to the truck.
Joel stood by the open passenger door, waiting.
You climbed in with a small nod of thanks. The cool air inside was a relief from the heavy night air. The seat hugged your body, and you wasted no time clicking the seatbelt into place—already well aware of Joel’s driving.
The truck dipped under his weight as he dropped into the driver’s seat, door slamming shut behind him.
“Where am I headed, kiddo?”
The engine rumbled to life, country music blasting through the speakers. Joel grimaced, quickly turning the volume down.
“Uh—just outside downtown, by the school- the highschool. Not the college. Just take exit fourteen and it’s pretty much straight until the river.”
Joel gave a short nod, seemingly satisfied with your poor, over-explained directions.
Silence settled between you, the earlier hostility replaced by something quieter. The shift was jarring. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was the realization that this wreck wasn’t about reckless driving—it was about two overworked, pissed-off people taking their frustrations out on the wrong things.
Joel wasn’t the kind of man who let emotions get the best of him—he couldn’t afford to be. Not as a father. Most days, life’s inconveniences were just that. As long as Sarah was happy, everything else was just noise.
But today had pushed him too far.
Three months of work—scrapped in a single meeting. No discussion. No warning. The new plans were a mess, the compromises were nonexistent, and the client was an insufferable pain in the ass. Joel had spent the entire day fighting for compromises that never came, his patience thinning with every rejection. Agreeing on the original plans had been difficult enough, and now this high-paying client was proving to be more trouble than he was worth.
The rest of Joel’s day was spent reviewing these so-called new plans, searching for compromises that might salvage at least some of the work already completed. But every suggestion he made was quickly rejected. The client wanted things done his way—no exceptions.
By the end of the day, frustration had Joel gripping the arms of his chair, clinging to the hope that at least one compromise might be accepted. But it wasn’t until eight o’clock—long past the time he should have been home—that the final rejection came. Even then, he persevered, spending the next few hours adjusting measurements and sketching out a rough plan to present the following morning. He just wanted this project to be over.
By the time he eventually left the office, his patience was gone.
The open road was supposed to be his escape. Just him, his truck, and the empty highway.
Then you got in his way.
He could’ve merged. Could’ve passed you and been done with it.
But the sight of your car in his lane, unaware, unbothered—it was the final straw.
He’d done this a hundred times before.
A little bumper-to-bumper game.
A little misplaced frustration.
He never meant for it to go this far.
But here you were, in his passenger seat. And your crumpled car was proof of just how wrong the night had gone.
And now, he had to get you home.
The low rumble of the engine and the faint hum of country music filled the quiet space between you. Joel drove at a far more reasonable pace now, nothing like the reckless tailgating from earlier. The road stretched ahead, lined by dense forest on either side, the scenery offering a welcome distraction as you gazed out the window.
"I'm sorry about your car."
The sudden break in silence made you jolt slightly in your seat. Your lips parted, but no words came out at first.
Sure, he was giving you a ride home, but that didn’t erase the mess he’d made of your night—or your car. You still had to deal with insurance, miss work, and somehow navigate the nightmare that was the current car market. The frustration bubbled up again, only to be met with the nagging reminder that your own childish stunt had played a part in this too.
The thought sent heat creeping up your neck. You huffed, crossing your arms. "Deserved. Partially– I think you gave me fucking whiplash."
His eyes met yours briefly, a flicker of compassion breaking through his stoic exterior.
As his gaze fell on the lock screen of his beloved daughter, guilt settled deep in his chest. If she had come home telling him a man had run her off the road—wrecking her car in the process—he knew the rage he would feel. He had been raised to be a gentleman, to respect women, and fatherhood had only reinforced those values. Your original outburst had been justified; after all, he had watched you crawl from the wreckage of your car, shaken but alive. Yet, his pride had held firm.
Now, faced with your unexpected kindness despite his wrongdoing, the weight of his indifference bore down even harder.
“My bones aren’t as brittle as yours, old man.” A smile spread across your face, the relief of a genuine conversation lifting the tension that had been weighing on you all day. “I think I’ll live.”
Joel rolled his eyes at the nickname.
“Speaking of,” you added, a playful gleam in your eyes, “what’s an old guy like you doing out so late?”
Your attempt at making small talk and a joke fell flat as Joel’s expression soured. The events of his shift replayed in his mind, only adding to the pit of worry in his stomach.
“Work,” he said simply.
“Me too,” you sighed. “It never gets better, does it?”
“Don’t think so.”
The conversation ended there, the soft melody of a country song filling the car as you bobbed your head to the beat. The thought of the day behind you brought a wave of exhaustion to both of you, the prospect of how you were going to get home creeping back into your mind.
You could take the bus?
Maybe call up a coworker or a friend?
Neither option was particularly appealing. With a sigh, you turned your attention back to the man next to you. In the short half hour you’d known him, your initial thoughts had changed drastically from his less-than-ideal first impression.
While the memory of your wrecked car still lingered, so did the reminder of your own fault in this situation. It was something best left to the insurance companies to handle, the previous anger dissipated. The coming weeks of ridesharing and public transportation wouldn’t be ideal, but at least you had a ride home tonight.
Your eyes lingered on the graying man next to you. His eyes were fixed on the road, glancing occasionally at his speedometer. The tension in his jaw had faded, his face more relaxed, weighed down by the exhaustion that was evident in both of you. His hair was messy, and you briefly recalled him running a hand through it when he first exited the truck—probably a nervous habit that had turned into a kind of permanent bedhead.
Despite his somewhat rough exterior—soiled, calloused hands, mud-streaked clothes, weathered skin adorned with scars and sun-kissed freckles from years of hard labor—staring at him for too long made a warmth spread to your cheeks.
The attempt to distract yourself from your car had worked a little too well.
You quickly pulled your gaze away from his face—hopefully before he noticed—and turned your attention elsewhere. His short-sleeve, button-up work shirt clung to his arms, biceps flexing as they stretched the fabric. His hands, strong and capable, gripped the wheel with ease, barely needing to look at it as his focus remained ahead. You watched as he took the exit, smoothly navigating the almost circular turn, his gaze not shifting from the road. Without turning his head, he effortlessly merged, the awareness of his surroundings second nature—an instinct gained over decades behind the wheel.
“Fairview or Jackson?” Joel’s voice cut through your thoughts.
Heat crept up your face as you whipped your head to the side, eyes landing on the familiar split in the road. “Fairview—for another eight miles.”
You knew exhaustion was setting in from the way your mind raced. Your unblinking stare drifted back to Joel, taking in details that anger had blurred before. Maybe it was the proximity, the sleep deprivation, the whirlwind of emotions—or all of the above—that sent warmth trailing lower. You shifted uncomfortably, legs brushing against each other.
Anything to distract yourself.
“What do you do for work?” you blurted, wincing at how dumb you sounded.
Joel huffed a quiet laugh. “You sure you’re not concussed, kid? Might need to take you to the hospital.”
You groaned, slouching into the seat. “Just trying to make conversation…”
His amusement lingered as he adjusted his grip on the wheel. “Been in construction pretty much my whole life. Started right after high school. Had other plans, but…” He exhaled through his nose. “Had Sarah young, so I did what I had to. Hard work, but I’d do anything to provide for my girl.”
Your gaze flicked to his hands, catching the glint of a passing streetlamp. No ring. No tan line.
You shook your head. Why did that even matter?
This man had run you off the road. He was just driving you home, and after tonight, you’d never see him again. No reason to get caught up in things that didn’t concern you.
“What about you?” Joel asked. “What do you do for work?”
You blinked, surprised he’d bothered to ask. His eyes left the road for the first time that night, meeting yours expectantly.
“I work at a bank,” you scoffed. “Exciting, I know. Not a teller, just… office stuff. Behind-the-scenes.”
Joel smirked. “Can’t relate. I’m shit at math.”
The warmth in his voice sent your brain short-circuiting for a moment. His smile—subtle but real—stood out in the dim glow of the dashboard. The soft crinkle at the corners of his eyes, the creased lines on his forehead—despite the exhaustion in his face, he looked…warm.
You cleared your throat. “I am too.” You laughed. “I’m honestly shocked I haven’t tanked the place yet. Not that I’ll have much time to—I’ll probably get fired soon.”
Joel chuckled. “Talking like that, I can see why.”
You shot him a playful glare. “I’ll have you know, I’m actually good at my job.”
“You sure?” His eyes flicked to you, amused.
You nodded, lips curling into a smile. “I just don’t see my boss being too happy about me missing a few days until I can find a ride to work.”
Something shifted in Joel’s expression. His lips pressed into a thin line, eyes glazing over as he turned his attention back to the road.
He was thinking.
Then, simply—
“I can take you.”
You blinked. “What?”
“You heard me.” His grip tightened slightly on the wheel. “Unless you really wanna get fired..”
The initial temptation almost had you saying yes before your brain could fully process the offer. It was a kind gesture, but the thought of inconveniencing him—forcing him to carpool you to work every day—made you pause.
Then your eyes met his.
You should’ve known better. Should’ve recognized this for what it was—just a man doing the right thing, easing whatever moral strain the accident had put on him. But his stare held you captive, and for a moment, logic blurred.
Normally, you’d be panicking. Snapping at whoever was behind the wheel to keep their eyes on the road. But with Joel, you didn’t. Confidence radiated from him—not in a cocky or arrogant way, but the kind that came from experience, from years of knowing exactly what he was doing.
There was something in his gaze—something that mirrored what you felt deep in your stomach. A flicker of hesitation, a reluctance to let the night end. A reason to keep seeing each other.
He wanted to see you again too.
No. That was delusional.
The combination of exhaustion and your embarrassing need to get laid had clearly fried your brain. You were sitting here, crushing on a man at least twenty years your senior—someone’s father for god’s sake.
But you did need a ride to work.
You exhaled, glancing up at the moon before muttering, “Only if you’re sure. I don’t want to be a burden. I know it’s hard for someone your age to remember so many things.” The quip slipped out before you could stop yourself, a flimsy attempt to break the tension—at least, the tension you felt.
Joel turned slightly, failing to hide his grin. “Not more than I’ve been.” Then, after a beat, “Unless you keep it up with the jokes. Might find yourself in the same place as your car.” He paused. “Sweetheart.”
Your heart stuttered.
The nickname had driven you crazy earlier in the night—condescending, demeaning. But now?
Now it had you looking away, pressing your legs together in a weak attempt to ignore the heat spreading through you.
And Joel paused.
Why did he pause?
He’d said it so easily before, like it meant nothing. But now, there was something different in the way it left his mouth—like he almost caught it before it slipped out.
You swallowed, shifting in your seat. “The jokes come free with the ‘totaling my car’ deal.”
“Lucky me.” His voice was thick with sarcasm.
You hesitated for a second, then narrowed your eyes. “What’s in it for you?”
Joel raised a brow. “What?”
“I don’t need a pity ride.”
His lips parted slightly before he shook his head, rubbing a hand over his jaw. Whatever ran through his mind, he wasn’t letting it slip.
He smirked, settling instead for, “Maybe I just wanna see if you’re always this annoying.”
Your breath caught. The way his voice dipped—the way his eyes flicked to your face, searching for the smallest twitch of a smile—it made something coil tight in your stomach.
You didn’t fight the grin tugging at your lips.
“Or,” Joel continued, smirking, “maybe I’m not so convinced you don’t got that concussion.”
“Oh, hush.” You rolled your eyes, giving his arm a playful shove.
The teasing had shifted, the edge of frustration softening into something lighter. You didn’t know where this boldness was coming from—flirting with a stranger like this—but he wasn’t stopping you. If anything…was he returning it?
You bit your lip, gaze flicking anywhere but him. Then, before you could think better of it— “I get run off the road by a handsome stranger and you expect me to play it cool?”
Joel cleared his throat—definitely caught off guard.
“That right?”
His voice—low, steady, unreadable—sent a ripple of uncertainty through you. You shifted in your seat, suddenly aware of how small the space between you felt. Had you misread the moment?
The air thickened. His gaze held steady, the weight of it pressing into you, testing you.
You swallowed. Nodded.
A beat passed. Then another.
And finally, a smirk. “Guess you’ve made up your mind then.”
Joel let the words settle before tilting his head, eyes still locked on you. “This handsome stranger gets to drive you to work ‘til you get a new car.” He threw your words back at you, mocking—but not unkind. You exhaled a laugh, the tension giving way to something else entirely.
You let out a nervous chuckle. “Oh, so now you’re deciding for me?”
He shook his head slightly. “Never said that.” He paused. “You just don't sound too opposed to the idea. Choice is all yours, honey.”
His voice had deepened just slightly at the last word, slow and deliberate.
Your pulse thrummed in your ears.
“And if I say no?” You challenged.
Joel chuckled lowly, sending a shiver up your spine. “You said it yourself—you’d be out of a job. And my company.”
You scoffed. “Can’t tell which one I’d be more grateful to miss out on.”
He smirked. “Better for me, sweetheart. You’re too much of a distraction anyway.”
Your breath hitched.
He adjusted his grip on the wheel, the tension thick in the space between you. His gaze flicked to you again, raking you up and down in a way that made your skin prickle with heat.
The truck jolted as he slowed, bringing the conversation to a halt. The school’s looming brick silhouette glowing under the buzzing street lamps, moths greedily swarming the light. The road, littered with potholes, sent a rough shudder through the truck as the tires fought for traction.
“Take this right,” you murmured. Joel turned down the music, his focus shifting, and you swallowed against the lump in your throat.
“It’s the third one on the left.”
He pulled into your driveway, cutting the headlights as the truck settled into park. The night air was thick and quiet, the world outside still.
Neither of you moved.
The truck rolled back slightly, settling into the incline, and for the first time all night, there was no tension, no urgency—just the unspoken weight of exhaustion pressing into the silence between you.
And still, neither of you seemed in a rush to break it.
You barely noticed the way Joel shifted in his seat, full of anticipation. His hands flexed around the wheel, the tension in his knuckles mirroring the unspoken energy hanging between you. Your mind raced through the events of the night, trying to make sense of how this even began—how a collision turned into something so unexpectedly charged.
Not that you were complaining.
You had at least a week of one-on-one time with Joel and that realization sent your heart stuttering against your ribs. This ride had already escalated in ways you hadn’t predicted, and now your thoughts wandered, imagining the possibilities of the next.
Maybe you were reading too much into it.
Maybe you weren’t.
Shaking yourself from the haze, you reached for the door handle. “I should get going.” The lump in your throat made it harder to get the words out, especially with the way Joel’s eyes flicked to yours, steady and unreadable.
You clutched your bag to your side, gripping it like an anchor, grounding yourself in the reality that—somehow—your subtle advances had gone far more successfully than you expected.
The overhead light flooded the car as the door clicked open, the night air brushing against your skin. Your fingers curled around the handle, your balance slightly off-kilter from the nerves running through your veins.
You barely had time to register the movement before warmth encased your wrist.
Joel’s hand.
Firm. Steady. Completely engulfing yours.
Your breath hitched.
“Already forgot about our deal?”
His voice was smooth, tinged with amusement.
Before you could process it, he gave a gentle tug, pulling you back into the seat just enough that your face was level with his again. You kept the door ajar, caught between the instinct to flee and the undeniable pull of his presence.
His eyes searched yours, taking in any flicker of hesitation, any nervous shift of your body. His fingers, still wrapped around your arm, traced the goosebumps rising beneath his touch.
He smirked at his effect on you.
But the amusement didn’t erase the conflict in his mind.
You had just met, and the circumstances weren’t exactly the most flattering on his part. He had hit your car. He–an older man–had insisted on driving you. And now, here you were—breathless, your full attention on him, hanging onto his every word.
It was dangerous.
Tempting.
And guilt-inducing.
He didn’t let go.
Joel swallowed, jaw tightening as he weighed the situation. Maybe this was just harmless flirting on your end. Maybe his immediate attraction to you had made him think otherwise. Maybe it was nothing more than a fleeting moment, a late-night illusion spun by exhaustion and circumstance.
Still, he wasn’t ready to let you go.
Not yet.
His voice came quieter this time, deliberate. “What time do you have work tomorrow?”
“Joel—”
“It’s not up for discussion, sweetheart.” His grip didn’t tighten, but the firmness in his voice left no room for argument. “What time?”
You sighed, knowing there was no use fighting him on this. “Eight.”
Joel clicked his tongue, considering. “I’ll be here at seven-thirty.”
You blinked. “Joel, don’t you have work too?” A bubbling anxiety began to brew endless questions in your mind. “How are you gonna-”
“Don’t worry about it. Just be outside.”
You gave him one last look, searching for any hesitation, any sign that this was some kind of moral obligation rather than something he actually wanted to do. But his gaze was unwavering, he seemed absolute.
Finally, you relented with a soft sigh. “Yeah, okay, whatever. I’ll see you at seven-thirty.”
A flicker of something unreadable crossed his face. His lips parted slightly as if he had something else to say—but instead, he just gave a slow nod.
“I’ll be here.”
The truck creaked as you lifted yourself from the seat, your shoes landing against the driveway with a soft thud. You adjusted your bag against your chest, the cool night air nipping at your skin.
Joel watched you, his hands still gripping the wheel, his knuckles still tight, as if holding himself back from saying more.
You hesitated, slowing your steps as you departed.
Say something. Anything. Don’t make this weird.
Before you could, his window rolled down. His tired, gruff voice cut through the silence.
“Get some sleep, kiddo.”
You whipped around, startled by the sudden shift in demeanor. He had spent the whole night teasing you—flustering you—but now, the words were softer. Almost… affectionate.
Your lips curled into a grin. “Don’t hit any more cars, old man!”
His chuckle followed you as you disappeared inside.

ii. they'll let you warm your hands against the back of their neck, laughing at the chill but not pulling away.
iii. they'll need to feel the weight of your presence to remember how to breathe.
iv. they'll be devoted to you, just like church is to god, just like the lamb is to the shepherd, just like faith is to the believer lost in doubt.
v. they'll see the way you close your eyes when the sun hits just right, like it’s a moment just for you, and they'll wonder if they're allowed to share it with you.
vi. they'll look at you when you think they're not watching—from across the room, in the glow of a traffic light, through the blurry reflection of a dirty mirror—like they're afraid to be caught loving you this much (they aren't).
vii. they'll whisper your name like it's the answer to a question they don't know how to ask.
viii. when you write your name on fogged windows, they'll try to read their future in it.
ix. when you're getting ready to go out, they'll wait at the door, keys in hand, watching you tie your shoes, smiling a little, because they love the way you double-knot them.
x. they'll stand behind you when you're looking in the mirror, watching your reflection instead of their own, like they only see themselves in the way you see them.
xi. when you look at them, just for a second, they’ll think it's the first time anyone has ever seen them.
