An analysis of Jayvik during season 2 bc what the hell was that
Or rambling about their parallels, character development and what I think is going next.
First, I haven't seen the three last episodes but I saw the spoiler of Viktor and Jayce scene. I'm going to watch the episodes with my friend next Wednesday, so I don't want any of you spoiling me ANYTHING else.
Spoilers below the cut.
That being said, this analysis will be mostly about first eps of season 2 and the scene of arc 2, why does it have sense and why it doesn't mean the ending of their friendship and why in this season they aren't just narrative foils but the force that move each other motivations.
First, 2nd season opening:
It's good to point out that their scenes in the intro are related; in the same way Jinx and Ekko are related, Vi and Cait (and Jinx) and Mel with Ambessa. They all are easily differentiable among them, Mel and Ambessa appear in yellowish tones, Jinx, Cait, Vi and Ekko appear under color lights but the theme bounding Viktor and Jayce is bright light.
When Jayce appears, he's immediately blinded by the light, he turns his face and squints his eyes but does not remove from his place. In contrast, when Viktor appears he's not being blinded by the light, he's not uncomfortable about it, instead, he faces it directly. When the mask is being put in his face, he accepts it, and even it looks like he's emitting the light. If the mask were emitting it, the fabric on Viktor's head would be lighted too; instead, the light is exclusively under the fabric. Viktor is literally shining. He's the light.
And Jayce during his cuts tries to reach the light but finds himself blinded by it; anyway, this doesn't stop him from extending his hand and trying to reach it.
And, at the same time, it's Jayce's hand putting the mask on, we already know why Jayce creates the Herald. But most importantly, putting on the mask means hiding Viktor's face and with it, covering the light.
At the end of the intro, Jayce does touch the light and he no longer sees blinded by it.
Important to notice the intro already makes clear that their stories are tightly intertwined; which isn't surprising since in season 1 it is evident Viktor is a huge motivation and conflict in Jayce's actions.
However, why is it important to notice that the intro makes a correlation between Viktor and being enlightened; first, light has an association with knowledge and wisdom. Second, already knowing the strong associations Viktor has with religious figures this season it is good to point out that Jesus said: âI am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.â And as I pointed out before, Jayce is following the light.
When I saw the first act, I was pretty confused about the correlation between the intro and the episodes. Once Viktor is resurrected by Jayce, he isn't associated with light but darkness.
When he wakes up, there is light, but it's clearly different from the one in the intro. Viktor is surrounded by a strange light but his face isn't being illuminated.
Instead, he walks to the light where Jayce is.
It's in front of you, Jayce is at the side of the light while Viktor is at the side of the darkness. But why is he in the darkness when the into associates him with light? Because Viktor isn't the darkness, the Hexcore is. And in this scene what does represent it? The cocoon behind Viktor.
Another good thing to notice is the change in Viktor's eyes, he wears the (probably) same blanket he does in the trailer, but while the trailer emphasizes his yellow eyes. It's clear what's happening here, he's changed and isn't completely Viktor, when he wakes up his eyes are mostly yellow, but there's also this small white part? Blue? I can only describe it as the Hexcore color.
When he cures the little dude, you can even see how the Hexcore color expands on his pupils. He still has a yellow part in them, but they're slowly changing color. But I don't think Viktor is the one changing, I think is the Hexcore the one taking power over him.
But what happens just before he cures him?
THIS
Viktor is bathed in light while the rest of the place is dark.
âI am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.â Common guys, it was obvious this would end as a cult.
But why is this current change on Viktor and light? Why??? Just two seconds ago he split with Jayce and he was all in the dark, right?
My theory is that while Hexcore takes control and more dominion over him, Viktor finds light because he's helping people and it's like "hey, maybe this isn't that bad," but we already know that ANYTHING related to Hexcore is meant to be a catastrophe. Viktor may excuses its use for helping people while Jayce excuses its use for saving Viktor.
However, compared to how Viktor is showed through the intro I wasn't still convinced his light was about that.
And I mean, the light shown in the trailer for both Viktor and Jayce is white, different from the purple/pink that appears when he cures someone, his eyes are still clearly different. This scene does not represent Viktor but the arcane speaking through him, the purple and pink tones represent the arcane; and most importantly, the pattern its magic has.
Still, everything with that Viktor being the light didn't convinced me.
BECAUSE THAT VIKTOR ISN'T THE LIGHT, THE ONE ABOVE IS.
It's pretty clear, (sorry bad image quality, I got it from an edit and I'M NOT TOUCHING LAST 3 EPISODES IN NETFLIX, I WON'T GET MORE SPOILERS IF I CAN AVOID IT). The Viktor that is bent with the Arcane isn't the lightened Viktor, the one above is. He has yellow eyes (just as in the intro), and he's emitting a soft and pretty divine light. Compared to this:
His eyes aren't as yellow, and his hair is long and has lost color as a result of the arcane. They're evidently different. And I think that at some extent the show wants you to know they are different characters. Yes, his eyes are slightly yellow but let's remember he isn't entirely Viktor, it's also the Arcane.
And when he sees Jayce about to kill him, I think he looks surprised.
However.
The terror in his eyes, those aren't Viktor eyes, those are the Arcane's. All the freaky colors and the distortion. You can see how when he opens his eyes, it's Viktor who looks at him. But when he's facing his death, it's the Arcane being terrified.
How much does Arcane understand of emotions? I don't know, dude. But it and Viktor being mixed in a body surely gives it the ability to express something.
You may be thinking I am a little crazy about the eyes. But this is Arcane and the eyes are just important, animators put a lot of effort into emotion and facial expression and this means something.
When he dies, his eyes are both yellow and Arcane's color. They are both dying, yes.
But wtf happened with Jayce.
Well, I'll be back to this moment.
Jayce drinking tea with Heimerdinger and Ekko. His cup of "Man of the Progress" is there, but he did not drink from it.
The cup "Man of Progress" means a lot for Jayce's storytelling, it has his face on it goddammit. But it is also the cup that symbolizes his preference for the council and popularity over Viktor (because Viktor has always been a constant piece of conflict and motivation to act for Jayce). Instead, his drinking from a simple cup, not printed, he's turning back to his roots, being a scientist and stopping seeking greatness.
It also means a lot considering what he said to Viktor: "My place was here in the lab, with you." He gives up politics to be again an inventor and scientist. This scenes are pretty interesting when you consider during season one Jayce's biggest conflict is to be constantly swiping sides because he cannot stick to his true nature and has the need to be approved by everyone, which is by he doesn't use the cup anymore is important. He's rejecting the title to stick to his true self.
I also have to say that I wonder how this decision will affect his relationship with Mel, since she's pretty much the symbol of his political career while Viktor is the symbol of his academic one. Pursuing politics instead of the investigation is shown through their scene having sex while Viktor is heavily sick. Just to clarify: I HAVE NO HATE AGAINST HER, she and Jayce both worry about each other. But their relationship is planted pretty much as a political matter or as a tool for JayVik development. Literally season 2 biggest conflict in Jayce is Viktor and his only conversation with Mel is about he being worried about Viktor.
And well, Mel is her most boring (she still beautiful and interesting af but it's the least interesting part about her) when she's with Jayce. Just by seeing the trailer you can know her biggest conflict is about her mother and the black rose. Her narrative arc is pretty far away from Jayce's and I wonder how they will manage it.
And the wildest scene of the entire season: the Ashes and Blood one.
His hand tries to reach the Hexcore just as his hand tries to reach the light on the trailer. Or even more obvious, a clear parallel to Viktor, who reached his hand in the same way to reach the Hexcore and in consequence, he was consumed by it. Is this foreshadowing that Jayce will be consumed by the Arcane in the same way Viktor was? I'm 100% it is.
In fact, the whole scene is a parallel with Viktor dying and Jayce/Mel scene in season 1. Back then Viktor saw something in the Arcane, a possibility; in this scene, Jayce is seeing something, but we aren't sure what.
No matter what he sees, because he is also being corrupted by the arcane.
Look at the pattern on his wrist. Yes, the crystal is now on his skin but look how it has been disfigured by the arcane. Besides Jayce being corrupted it also means the corruption of his dream. And in consequence, I think that means the lost of an important part of his character: Hope.
The crystal symbolized his dream, yes, but it also symbolized his hope to make the world a better place. In season 1 when he tries jumping off after he has lost the research of his life is meant to be the loss of hope; which Viktor gives back (literally and metaphorically).
Here, he still has the crystal, but it has been corrupted by the arcane, and in consequence: the part that made Jayce a character who truly wanted to make the world a better place is corrupted too.
Focus on the eyes, people. When he looks at Viktor his face is completely changed but his eyes remain the same, brilliantly yellow unlike Viktor's.
And before he prepares his shot, the crystal shines. My first guest is that 100% there's something bigger influencing him. Probably the Arcane.
His weapon is evidently being corrupted by the arcane too.
And he's evidently actively fighting against something, the Arcane probably, since his face acquires its patron. Before I said I considered it was the Arcane who was scared of Jayce, since Viktor's eyes were emptied of any yellow color. But why the Arcane would be surprised if he's also corrupting Jayce.
My best guess is that Jayce is actively fighting against the Arcane and its influence to join it. What do I think? Jayce saw something in the Arcane tempting enough to want to join it but; at the same time, he saw something terrifying enough to decide it was not worth the risk. What do I think? Jayce did want to kill the Arcane, even if it meant killing Viktor too; and what he was fighting it's the Arcane itself trying to stop him.
I said it before, I haven't seen the last 3 episodes so if I'm terribly wrong I'll come back to apologize for my stupidity. But I have seen people confused about Jayce's motivation here and I think I might have a point.
And guys just look how his face changes from range to absolutely mysery-
You cannot say this man happily killed Viktor, he's about to cry.
And then Viktor lets go of that little thing I don't know what is called, but it symbolizes their shared dream.
There's a lot of angst about Viktor letting go of his dream. But I'm here to propose a more interesting question, why was he still clinging to it? In season 1 he makes clear Hexcore must be destroyed and he literally leaves Jayce when he realizes what he has done to keep him alive.
So why his change of mentality? Easy; because as I said before, he can justify the use of Arcane as long as he feels it's helping people.
I think he understands Arcane more than before, he's integrated into it and sees beauty in it. However Jayce also understands the Arcane better than him, but I think instead of finding beauty in it Jayce knows the horrific parts.
Look that the little thing I do not know what is called has a side completely corrupted while the other is briefly corrupted, my bet is that the corrupted side represents Viktor and the slightly corrupted represents Jayce.
So, why letting go of the dream is the right thing to do for Viktor's part and you shouldn't be sad about it? Because it has transformed into something unrecognizable, just as Viktor and Jayce. Letting go of the dream doesn't mean letting go of each other, since the series is clear they are part of each other. Letting go of the dream is letting go of the Arcane so they can keep themselves.
Why are they part of each other?
Easy, Viktor keeps the blanket Jayce gave him (even when he isn't able to feel coldness or warmth).
(BTW, in this scene Viktor stays in the light, and now is Jayce the one in darkness, I'm just saying).
And Jayce's whole outfit is about Viktor.
(Sorry shitty quality, I got it from a clip in Youtube because I'M NOT RISKING MYSELF TO SPOILERS)
His hammer is butterfly-shaped (so interesting both Jayce and Viktor have a scene as kids with the same butterfly and then the Arcane acquired a butterfly shape for a brief moment...); just look at his left leg, his hammer also resembles Viktor's crane and I might be crazy but I see some V's over there.
And also, even if I am crazy and I'm seeing stuff here it's always good to remember THIS:
I'm sorry but what was the need to parallel it so much? Idk why they do it but besides paralleling they also have to make characters close to Jayce to share moles in the same places as Viktor, Ambessa's twink resembles him a lot and has a mole on the cheekbone too, Mel it's harder to see because she has multiple but just as Viktor she has the one on the cheekbone and over the mouth. And, if I remember correctly, Jayce's mom has a mole on the cheekbone too. Every time I think I'm a little crazy about them I remember that and I'm like "nah, I'm totally right about everything." If they parallel this again in season 2 I'm not going to be surprised.
What do I expect from Arc 3? Viktor and Jayce's fight, against the Arcane. I think narratively it would be the ultimate conflict they have to face. They both were irresponsible with stuff they couldn't completely understand and it would be a nice conclusion to their arcs. Jayce has already decided to abandon politics which is a nice development, but he still hasn't faced the consequences of playing with the Arcane and Viktor either. If there's a fight against each other I'd understand where it comes from but their story would feel unconcluded, none of them have faced the consequences of playing with the arcane, not really. They have both faced shitty things but no consequences for fooling with magic and I think the most satisfying conclusion for their story would be to face to face and stop their creation together.
Maybe I'll change my opinion once I see the last episodes, but until that moment I think a fight between Viktor and Jayce would make lost what has been said all the series: The Arcane shouldn't be played with. Maybe they will enemies but their common enemy is the Arcane.
Before that I expect Viktor and Jayce to save each other again; as in season 1 but this time they're mutually saving from the Arcane's influence. At least Viktor to Jayce; since Jayce looks to be the most fucked up mentally, following again all the symbolism of Jayce reaching the light and Viktor being the light.
I wanted to analyze the religious iconography surrounding Viktor too and why even if he's supposed to represent Jesus and Jayce is supposed to represent Iscariot (though I don't think Viktor is always meant to represent Jesus only) neither means a bad thing. Jesus already knew Judas was going to betray him and he did not hate him for that, he loved him till the end (as he did with the rest of humanity). There are some texts (too tired to cite) that imply Jesus asked Judas to betray him and Judas, as a last act of total devotion, obeyed him.
Idk, just tell me if you'd like a religious analysis (probably after I have ended with the last three episodes, till then I do not want a word about what happened in the show).
#jayvik#arcane#arcane season 2#viktor arcane#jayce arcane#arcane analysis#messy analysis#I just saw people hating on Jayce and I did all of this just to defend him#this doesn't have any edition#I wrote it and you're seeing it raw

68 with jamal musiala pleaseeee
Rain-Kisssed~Jamal Musiala
ăťâĽăťprompt list ăťâĽăťmasterlist -> part 2 ăťâĽăťwho I write for
68-"Did we really just kiss on my porch in the pouring rain?" "Yeah," "Weâre so clichĂŠ."
The soft pattering of rain against the windows was the only sound in the room, as y/n stood in the middle of her room, staring at her reflection in the mirror, adjusting the neckline of her dress as she finished getting ready for her date.
It was nothing fancy, just a simple outfit for a casual date. But there was something in her chest, a flutter she couldnât shake, something that made her feel uneasy.
Especially when she thought about how Jama had been in her life recently.
She hadnât known him for very long, but the connection had grown quickly. He was her friend, someone she could talk to for hours, and someone who made her laugh even on her hardest days. But tonight, she was about to go on a date with someone else. She tried to shake off the strange feeling, telling herself it was just a date, nothing serious. Still, it didnât stop the nervous tension that seemed to cling to her.
As she gave herself one last glance in the mirror, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out, seeing Jamalâs name on the screen.
"Hey, whatâs up?" she answered, trying to sound casual.
"Not much," Jamal's voice came through the phone, light and easy, just like always. "What are you doing tonight?"
y/n hesitated, feeling a little guilty. "Oh, um, Iâm actually going out on a date."
There was a slight pause on the other end of the line, just long enough for her to notice the change in his tone. It wasnât anything obvious, but she could hear the hesitation, the slight shift. "A date?" he asked, his voice almost distant.
"Yeah," she said, trying to sound upbeat about it, though the words felt awkward in her mouth. "Nothing too big, just meeting up with someone I met through some friends."
Another silence. This time, it lingered, almost painfully, before Jamal responded. "Alright, well... I guess Iâll just let you go then."
"Okay," she replied, feeling a strange knot form in her stomach. "Talk to you later."
y/n hung up, her mind swirling with questions, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why. Why did Jamal seem so distant? Was it just her imagination?
A few minutes later, y/n was standing by the door, ready to leave, when another knock interrupted her thoughts. She frowned. Who could that be?
She opened the door to find Jamal standing on her porch, drenched from the rain, his clothes completely soaked through. He looked up at her, his expression unreadable, and for a second, she couldnât quite figure out why he was hereâwhy he was standing in front of her like this, looking like heâd walked straight out of a storm.
"Jamal?" she asked, her voice shaky with confusion. "What are you doing here? You're... soaking wet."
He didnât step inside . Instead, he stood there, staring at her for a moment, before shaking his head, as if trying to gather his thoughts.
"I couldnât just let you go," he finally said, his voice rough, almost hesitant. "I couldnât let you leave for that date without telling you how I feel."
Her heart skipped a beat at the sudden confession. She opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out. She was too stunned to speak. Jamal, usually so easygoing, was standing there in front of her so serious, his eyes searching hers as if trying to find an answer to something only he knew.
"Youâre going on that date," he continued, his voice more urgent now. "But I donât want you to. I donât want anyone else to have a chance at being with you when I feel this way."
She felt her breath catch in her throat. He couldnât be serious. Could he?
"I like you," Jamal confessed, his words tumbling out in a rush. "I like you more than just as a friend. And I couldnât... I couldnât just stand by and watch you go out with someone else without telling you. I need you to know that."
y/n felt her pulse race as his words sank in, and for a second, she felt like everything around her had stopped. The rain fell harder, but it felt like the world had shifted, and it was just the two of them now, standing there on her porch.
"Jamal..." she was finally able to speak, her voice small, but the words were clearer than ever. "I like you too. I have for a while now. I just didnât... I didnât know how to say it."
His expression softened then, relief flooding his features as if a weight had been lifted. He took a slow step toward her, his eyes never leaving hers.
Without another word, Jamal closed the distance between them, pulling her into his arms. She didnât hesitate. She wrapped her arms around him, feeling his warmth against her body despite the rain soaking her clothes.
"Iâve wanted this," he murmured, his voice low and tender. "Iâve wanted you for so long."
y/n nodded into his chest, not trusting her voice just yet. But in that moment, the rain felt like a distant memoryâjust background noise to the feelings that were rushing between them both.
Jamal gently cupped her face, lifting it up so she could look into his eyes. "Can I kiss you?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of hope and hesitation.
She nodded, breathless, and without waiting any longer, he leaned in, pressing his lips softly to hers. It wasnât a hurried kiss. It wasnât rushed. It was slow, soft, and filled with everything she had both been holding back. His lips were gentle against hers, his hands sliding to the back of her neck, pulling her closer.
y/n kissed him back with equal passion, the rain falling around them both, washing away everything else in the world except for the two of them.
When they finally broke apart, both of them breathless and smiling, the rain still pouring down, Jamal laughed softly.
"Did we really just kiss on my porch in the pouring rain?" y/n asked, her voice shaky, but full of joy.
"Yeah," Jamal replied, a grin spreading across his face. "Weâre so clichĂŠ."
They both laughed, the sound blending with the rain as it continued to fall around them. But nothing else mattered right now. The night had taken a turn neither of them had expected, but it felt like the start of something real.

I don't have a lot of energy these days [because of The Horrors] so I'm looking at my day and my priorities and trying to plan how I'm going to spend what energy I have, because I do need to be able to rest and relax but there are also things that need doing and that is a careful balance for me.
I managed to [mostly] clean the kitchen last night so I've kicked it out of the priority list until next weekend. Unfortunately the living room, bathroom, bedroom, and my office all need cleaning too. I think of the priorities, my office and the bedroom are the most important to me, so I'll probably push the living room and bathroom until at least Friday.
There's also the laundry. I don't have any clean clothes and as we're moving into winter I need to be more rigid about getting that done because days where the clothes can be dried on the line will be more limited. So I definitely need to wash an outfit or two and hang them up in the next hour.
That's already a really busy day, so I'll probably cut it there. But it's definitely going to still leave me a lot of work this week. Half my cleaning, at least one more round of laundry, settling dog food for the next couple of weeks, planting the fall/winter greens, doing some set up work on my computer, work on some writing projects, cleaning out the fridge, and patching some worn clothes. My work week isn't insane atm, but it is definitely limiting. Right now I have 6+4+0+4+2+5+5= 25 non work/non-survival needs (sleep, food, shower, etc) hours available each week. I need to figure out a regukar distribution of these that means everything is getting done and I still have an hour a day to myself as often as possible. I think it's probably not realistic to give myself more than an hour a day for free time/fun, which is a bit unfortunate because I've found in the past that my floor tends to be getting 2-3hrs of free time most days because of how I deal with transition and decision-making.
25-7 [1hr per day] is 18 hrs, so I just need to decide where and how to distribute those in order to keep pace with things.
Lets say the garden needs 3hrs per week, the laundry needs 4 hours (specifically 2 sets of 2 morning/early afternoon hours), the cleaning needs an hour a day to get through a maintenance clean of the house, and 3 hours once a week to work down any deep cleaning that's built up. Which is....already three more hours than I actually have each week. So I guess I'll make a plan to work in the garden for 20-40min of 4 of my free hours each week.
It really doesn't leave me any wiggle room. Only about 4 hours a week that isn't explicitly allotted to something that needs doing, which means there will probably me a lot of weeks where I only get an hour or so at best across the whole thing for free time. I guess I've had a hard time accepting that at this point, having actual time for myself or a time-intensive project is only available if I've taken a day off work. I love my job, but it's ... not comfortable to realize that it's the only love in my life I actually have time for anymore.
I think that's probably why I end up here so much. It's this mindless little way of zoning out into my own head, dissociating away from the exhaustion, for a few minutes at a time. I keep thinking I want to use this space differently, make it more if the things I enjoy. But I think what I really want is just to actually have the time and energy to do things I love that take work. I keep crying a few times every day and I couldn't figure out why, but like
I dunno
Why **wouldn't** I cry a little every day? It's the closest I'm getting to actual emotional release or relaxation in my life. We'd probably all cry. Heck. A lot of us probably DO, capitalism being what it is.
I guess I'm starting to wonder why I'm doing what I'm doing. What is there left for me to sacrifice to this life? What is actually serving me about not just letting myself go up like a fireball and take my surroundings with me? What in the ever loving fuck am I fighting this hard for?
All I ever want, all I want now, is to be able to live. To really, actually live. How does wanting to live bring you this close to killing yourself, whether on accident or on purpose? What am I actually doing that is LIVING and what am I doing that is FACILITATION of living? It can't all be facilitation, or I'm not actually facilitating fuck all.
I'm 30 goddamn years old and I need to figure out what it looks like to actually love my life. I fundamentally refuse to zombify myself like this for everyone else around me forever.
#i really wanted to believe that if i just sat down and did the math i'd be able to figure it out.#but there is literally not enough time in the day for me to do all this.#i suppose i could sleep less. it's...not great for me to get less than 9 hrs a day#but i could probably pull it off for brief stints#a week on a week off or something#get an extra two hours a day that way#and then of course there's my old go to#i could just stop eating or taking care of myself#lord knows it's my well-being that restri ts my time more than anything else#and if i work myself to death like mom did instead of committing suicide at least the life insurance pays out#in case anyone gives wifey inheritance trouble#i already don't eat until dinner so that part won't give me a TON of extra time#but an hour a day at the end of the night to write does sound lovely so it might be worth it#on the weeks i sleep less i could use my 2 extra hours a day to do ingredient prep so that wifey's food doesn't go to waste as much#maybe even work on the garden and the yard's facilities a bit. i have a few projects that need time and attention so those'd fot in#if i cut my pain meds too i could put an extra $50/week back in my budget and i could use that for project supplies and emergency funds#god even thinking about this is making me so tired.#i don't know what this will leave of me#i've been doing this so long now#feels like the last time i remember having a consistent hour to myself every day was my BA sophomore year#and that was the first time too lmao#i'd spent high school waking up at 3am every day after going to bed at 12am because I needed to do my hw in the mornings#my bus left at 7:30am and i had to do all my paper assignments - make myself lunch for the day - wash dishes/tidy the kitchen - and THEN#i could finally make sure i had my shit together for the bus and maybe nap for 5min#then i didn't get home from school until 4pm and i had to fix the kitchen from whatever my parents did before i got back#then make dinner for the family#then clean the living room from whatever the pets had dome all day#then take the dog for her nightly walk and take a shower#and usually sometime after dinner around 9pm I would get permission to run to my room and try to get a head start on my hw before 11pm#that was my lights out curfew so it gave me a blessed single guaranteed hour to do something for me.....assuming i could stay conscious

in other news im thinking about my (very very vague) portal jonelias au again
#jon as glados elias as chell#jon trying oh so very hard to be human and telling himself its because elias' test scores improve when he does#elias splorin the rest of the facility during his downtime#jon getting robot separation anxiety over not being able to see his (most beloved) best test subject#jon pretends the facility is still functional and the scientists are just doing other things but elias knows the truth#elias is just trying to find his robot boy so they can talk#and so he can kiss jon ofc#i also have some vague thoughts about. okay so#in portal 2 its revealed that successful tests are coded to be enjoyable or euphoric to the bot in charge of the facility#except that it lessens with each successful test and theyll slowly start to go mad trying to figure out how to get it back#glados ofc manages to (mainly) keep her cool even w/o this and jon does too obviously#but i have some thoughts about elias like. altering jon's code#im not entirely sure how elias ended up in the facility in the first place but im probably going to give him engineering / programming#skills (probably both)#so that he can alter jons body or his code#(mainly so that i can circumvent all of the fucked up shit but also for sex purposes)#elias: hey can i take a look at your code i wanna get rid of some of your limitations#jon: i think i hauve covid#also thinking about the eroticism of the machine. jon being able to feel everything that happens in the facility#(in the parts of the facility he can reach anyway)#he can feel elias fixing faulty wiring he can feel elias moving through the halls#he can feel elias touching panels etc etc#i imagine jon would be very much like 'im physically incapable of feeling affection for test subjects i am not defective im not broken#its fine'#rlly strugglign to grapple w/ his purpose as an unfeeling inhuman machine and the human parts of him that want to be expressed

At least I could disable the suggestions but just... I'm sick of it, I'm sick of companies trying to think for me
I'd rather be miserable but doing shit my own way than placid and glass eyed and just taking whatever companies tell me to
Like... literally just asking what I get out of writing a post on tumblr... zero suggestions, just letting me say whatever dumb stuff comes to my head
#the problem is that doing things my way is actually working well; it's just really slow and it's coming from a bad starting point#everything that makes me miserable was even more miserable growing up#you maybe see me and think that I'm doing really horribly; and that may be true; but I'm also truthfully at my peak right now#and frankly as much as I worry about it A LOT; I'm kinda still on the rise in a lot of ways#...I just take way too long to do things; I want to be quicker because a lot of this stuff isn't... it's not being slow and steady#it's being depressed and having trouble working on shit#but... when I do stuff my way the end result tends to be strong#I got a house in 2019 for instance... like in that economy; I feel like that counts as a pretty high roll outcome; you know?#the parts of my life I hate are all... it's like Marley in the Christmas Carol; I've got all these chains around me#and... about 80% of those chains are just my mom or my mom's choices... she blows through so much money all the time#it makes me want to die#but all that shit... it's the past haunting me and drowning me#but shit's better than it was and... I have more friends now that I did in the past; I'm closer to making money than I've been in the past#(part of it is that I kinda want to get shit stabilized in the household; be doing stuff like cooking before I try and sell shit)#(also understand that everyone in high school liked me... we just never saw each other outside of school)#(so it was a situation where I had 'friends'; by that standard everyone at school was a friend)#(but I didn't have a single person I was close with and I was totally isolated in a crowd)#(friend is just a word in english that has to cover a really really wide range of relationships)#(but these days I do have actual friends... just a shame none of us live in the same town... or even state; you know?)#(I like all the people I went to high school with; they all cared a lot and were very bad at it)#(couldn't figure out that like... just give me some company; that's a good 80% of what I'm lacking)#(...I think part of it was they were all stoners and I wasn't; so they felt like... eh... like something something)#(and when I say all stoners I mean... I think... easily 80% of the school; probably 90% and maybe higher were all stoners)#(it uh... was not an easy thing for the staff; cause they obviously all knew; but... figuring out how to best handle it)#(like hell; I wouldn't want to deal with that)#(also like 95% were smokers... you have to understand that most of these kids were rich kids)#(off the top of my head I can only think of 2 other kids who were poor... just... uh...)#(if I named the city the school was in; you'd probably be like 'oh... makes sense')#(I liked everyone there; everyone liked me... just... they were very bad at just basic stuff like spending time together)#(eh... you don't need to hear more)

MDNI 18+ (not edited)
Part 2
Trucker!simon, who finds himself a lovely bird at a local truck stop he often runs through on his usual routes.
Sits his massive self at the bar on one of the small stools, glaring at any of the blokes who stare at you a bit too long.
Gives you a blank look when you check up on him, asking if heâd like anything else.
âJust anothaâ cuppa, sweetâartâ he always says, sliding his mug towards you, which looks microscopic compared to his massive hand.
You think he doesnât like you, considering he doesnât ever talk to you much when you try to make small talk, but he always leaves you a fat tip. You figure heâs just quiet. He canât dislike you that much considering how many times youâve glanced over your shoulder to see him gazing appreciatively at your ass.
Itâs an especially rowdy night at the truck stop that finally breaks the camels back. A real gentleman decided he wanted a feel of you. So he didnât hesitate to grab a handful of the fat on your backside, his table and him whooping and hollering as you squealed and slapped his hand away, glowering at him as you scampered away to the bar.
You held back tears as you started up another pot of coffee, never were the confrontational type. This wouldnât be the first time a man had taken it upon himself to put his hands on you, but it would certainly be the last. Considering how Simon was sat at the end of the bar; shaking with rage, his knuckles white from being clenched tight as he stood.
It all happened so quick you didnât even catch it, you back had been turned. The restaurant went from ruckus, laughter, and loud voices, to silence after the sound of a sickening crack rung through the room.
You turned just in time to see the assholeâs friends jump from their seats and go for your favorite regular; Simon. The handsy asshole laid flat on the ground, out cold.
It took no time at all for Simon to lay out the other three, he was twice each of their size in pure muscle, and obviously lacked nothing in skill. Once he was done he simply turned to you, pointed to the back room and said,
âGo get yer things.â
You didnât think twice. Passing your manager who stood in the doorway, face solemn. You asked him quickly if it was okay for you to leave, he took one glance at Simon and nodded his head. You grabbed your things, throwing on your coat and met Simon at the door.
He takes your arm, surprisingly gentle for his huge form, he looked enraged. His shoulders tense, brows furrowed, youâre certain if he didnât have a mask on the lower half of his face he would have a deep frown on his lips.
You thank him softly, following him as he leads you through the full parking lot. He says nothing, staring ahead. You tell him you donât live far, you can just walk.
âNo, youâre not doin thaâ.â He says, and you donât argue.
Helps you into the cab of his massive semi, getting into the drivers side and turning up the heat.
Offers to get you some food, âhavenât seenâya eat a bite ol night, bird.â
You refuse, thanking him for the offer, telling him youâll eat at home. You probably wonât, your stomach is still all twisted from earlier, if he can tell youâre shaken up he doesnât show it. He just nods.
Takes you to the corner of your street, wouldnât be able to drive his truck down the narrow road. You thank him again, asking him if thereâs anything you can do to repay him.
âI knowâa few things you can do for me, bird.â He says lowly, you feel your cheeks warm at the implication. You ask him what he wants. He grunts, glancing to the side as if heâs thinking.
âGimme a kiss.â He says, tapping his cheek. Your eyes widen, is he serious? Out of all things he could ask for, he asks for just a kiss on the cheek? You shocked to realize youâre disappointed he didnât ask for more.
He pulls his mask down to his chin, revealing his chiseled jaw and thin, scarred lips. You lay a trembling hand on his giant thigh for support as you lean over, and just as you are about to meet his cheek he tilts his head and has your mouth. Pressing a heated kiss to your lips.
It takes you a moment to catch up, but before you know it youâre in his lap, making out sloppily, mouths open and tongues swirling together. You sigh into his mouth, cupping his jaw as his hand cradles the back of your head.
When you start grinding yourself against him is when he stops.
âNot yet, bird. Gotta take you out first, do it the right way.â He says. The right way? What the hell.
âTake ya for dinner, treat ya real good, take ya home and fuck that sweet pussy halfway to heaven.â
He cups your ass as he whispers that nasty shit in your ear, one hand on your hip as he bucks up once against your wet heat. You let out a whimper and he just chuckles. Asshole.
Jumps out the truck and helps you down with two strong hands on your hips. Walks you all the way to your front door, smiling at your peeved expression. You were definitely gonna have to rub one out once you got inside.
Gives you a sweet peck on the cheek, gripping your chin with his thumb and finger.
âBe here tomorrow aâ seven. Wear something nice.â He says softly before turning and stalking off into the night. Leaving you flabbergasted on your front doorstep.
Note: I dunno if you guys can tell but im incapable of writing anything small. This was supposed to be just a short little thing about how sexy trucker!simon would be but i got so carried away đ heâs the ghost that haunts my nights, canât get him outta my head

ę° :đĽ [ Deer in headlight ] ââĄáľęąËË âˇ âŻ
Summary : You've been in the hotel for a while now yet one mistery you never uncovered, where that ears atop his head or hair? So you made it your mission to touch them and figure out if they are indeed ears.. and maybe a discover a matching tail to the ears?
Pairing : Alastor x Reader
Word count : 3025 Words
Genre : Fluff, Slightly suggestive near the end
Warnings âľ Possessive and out of character Alastor
Part 2 -> < Like a deer in headlight >
a/n : I wanna pat his head and ears so badly, they look so fluffy and when they move around and are pressed to his head? I'm crying-
Also I wasn't able to find that scene as a gif so I made it myself `^` Why that scene? Bcs his ears layed back on his head look absolutely adorable!
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââ ¡ ďťż ¡ ďťż ¡ ďťż ¡ âĄ
It's bugging you. Keeping a watching gaze on those fluffs atop a certain red-haired head, while you sat at the bar beside Angel who was in a conversation with Huskers, which you don't pay any more attention to. You were drawn in by the man sitting on the couch so carelessly while reading a newspaper.
They had to be ears right? They did move depending on his mood, even if not a lot.. But maybe it was also just his hair and not ears? If it were ears did he also have a tail? Ears and tail would make sense, seeing how he from time to time had smaller or bigger antlers atop his head, especially the big ones in his demon form.
"Are you even listening sweets?" Angels face appeared in front of your own now, twitching together a slight bit of surprise, your head turns to the two demons now and away from a certain deer demon. "Sorry.. I was spacing out a slight bit." You apologize to Angel now, Husk raising an eyebrow as he and Angel had noticed where your attention was diverted to. "Figured sweets, looked like you were eating smiles up with you eyes." Angel sends you a smirk, but you immediately start to shake your head, this wasn't what Angel was having on his mind right now. "I was wondering.. are those ears?" A gasp could be heard from Husk, Angel looking over his shoulder now to analyze Alastor's ears. The white spider was humming a bit, as he was debating whether they were ears or not, but Husker was already looking at you bewildered. "Don't even dare try anything, the last person to try and touch them was dead before they even got close." Now this was beginning to sound interesting, was Alastor this strange about it? If it was hair he wouldn't mind that much right? Well aside from the fact that he overall didn't enjoy being touched if it didn't come from his side or was allowed by him. But if they were ears.. were they sensitive? Was that why he didn't want anyone to touch them and.. did he have a matching tail? A cute little fluff of a deer tail?
Husk saw the gears in your head turning and speeding up, he grabbed both your cheeks as he turned your face to his, his eye staring into yours. "Don't you dare think about anything stupid, do you hear me?" Rolling your eyes, you pushed his hands away. Even though he was grumpy most of the time, you and Husk liked the company of one another, you two were quite good friends by now, so it made you a bit happy how he warned you and worried. But.. it was just thrilling to know, too noisy for your own good. "He won't kill me Husk, I'm his favorite!" Jumping from your seat, Husk lets out a groan, as you stride over to Alastor who is still busy reading the newspaper.
"Alastor! I got a question!" Jumping on the couch beside Alastor, you turn your body to him fully, one leg under you as your arm rests on the backside of the couch. Folding his newspaper together again, he lays it on the coffee table before looking at you. "Well of course my dear, go on ahead and ask whatever your heart desires to know!" He was talking and acting like a gentleman, giving you his full attention the second you addressed him and sat down beside him. "I was wondering for a while.. are those ears or is that your hair?" You were now pointing at his head, a smile still evident on his face, yet it somehow strained the slightest bit with irritation at your question. Huskers in the back was probably already fearing for your life. "Oh my dearest what a straightforward question, but I do fear I cannot answer you this. But do not worry your pretty little mind, maybe someday you will know." A soft pat was on your head, as the radio demon got up and made his way who knows where in quick strides.
"Oh no.. I know that face." Huskers was going crazy right now, the face you were making was one he knew oh so well, one that screamed > the game is on, I will win <. You were going to make this a game for sure, Husker was just praying the hotel would not be destroyed afterward.
The first thing now was to figure out if they really were ears, because if they were, you were so going to extant this self-proclaimed game of yours, to touching them.
"Oh Niffty my darling!" Shouting for the little psycho now, she jumps out of a room, a roach stuck on her little needle-like knife. She was a strange one no one understood, but still lovely and.. quite close to Alastor. "Niffty my dearest, you're very close to Alastor right? Do tell me, are those atop his head ears? Of course, you will get paid too for your information." Holding up a bag of alive insects and roaches, how you got them? Rather not ask, it was annoying and disgusting. Niffty was almost in an instant reaching for the bag, but you pulled it out of reach for her, reminding her what you wanted in return. "He told me how that part was sensitive and I should be careful, never told me if they were ears or not, but they have been pressed to his head a few single times when really irritated.. Now give me the bag!" Snatching the bag from you and running off with maniac-like laughter, she was crazy for sure. But did give you very useful information. Knowing the fact that he said they were sensitive, it makes you even more sure they were ears and pressed to his head when irritated? Yes, ears for sure.
Thats one check-point on your list done, now to the harder part touching them.. and figuring out if he has a tail too before he kills you for touching the ears!
Retreating to your room for now, you get out a notebook and scribble down some ideas of plans on how to touch them, but none of them seem really clever, so your notebook is quickly thrown against the wall out of frustration. A knock echoed through your room shortly after. "I heard a thump and wanted to make sure you were okay, you seem stressed.." Charlie entered your room, as you just slumped back against your pillows. Explaining to her what was bothering you, how you confirmed your theory that Alastor indeed has ears, but that you're now lost at how to be able to touch them. "You could just ask him! I'm sure a quick touch won't bother him!" Charlie was right.. If you would only take a second to touch them, just to feel them, he would agree, right? Thanking Charlie, you quickly make your way to Alastor's radio tower, this time of day he was usually busy writing his script for the following broadcast.
"Enter my dear!" His voice invited you, as he lifted his head to look at you. "What gives me the pleasure of your visit darling?" Pen still in his hand, his attention now on you though. Walking over to him, you look down at him, an unusual sight thinking of how he was normally taller than everyone and towering over them - well only exception might be Angel. "May I touch your ears? Just a second! I'll be quick!" Unnoticeable Alastor's eye twitched slightly from irritation, this topic again, you were not going to let it go, were you? "My dearest, I think I already told you to leave it, beside I never confirmed nor denied if your suspicions were correct." Head leaning on his palm now, as he was watching you, it was clear that if you were going to press on even further, he would get mad, but you didn't care. "I figured thanks to some information from someone, it won't be long! Just a soft touch! Just a second!" Now his eye twitched visibly, his hand raised and with a snap of his fingers, you were outside the door again, as you heard a click of the door being locked. Guess this didn't work.. Next plan.
Apparently, it would be harder than you thought to touch his ears. The first plan failed miserably. Currently, you are enjoying some tea with Rosie, maybe she could help you. Rosie was an old friend of Alastor, they were indeed quite close so perhaps? "Oh my dear, I have to disappoint you, our good Alastor hates getting them touched, he never let anyone near them and if, they were not able to talk about it afterward." So Rosie could also not help you, your ears peeking up now though as Rosie let out a thinking hum. "Perhaps, you could try and bribe him.. He does favor this one place in our town, it's rather expensive but, I can give in a good word for you, I do want to know how he reacts to you, his little darling touching them." Finally, some progress, though you didn't dare ask more about how Rosie had called you > his little darling < that would be for another time.
So with Rosie's help, you get his favorite meal for a good price as you make your way back to the hotel and immediately to Alastor's room. After knocking, his voice invites you in, which you gladly accept. "Oh, my dear Alastor! I got you food from your favorite place~!" In an almost sing-song voice, you announce that you got a meal for him. Now you finally saw it for the first time clearly, his ears perking up before his head turns to you with excitement. "Oh my dearest, you didn't have to!" As he was reaching out, just like before with Niffty, you pulled it out of his reach. "It wasn't cheap so.. how about as a thank you, you let me touch your ears?" The object of your current obsession now turned back, a slight scowl on Alastor's face, while still wearing his usual smile, though it was rather tight. "If that was all you wanted dearest please enjoy the meal yourself, I do not want it for those conditions." Was he for real right now? One you wouldn't eat this because.. it was in no way your preference and second you were only asking for a small touch. Rubbing them once, then you would, probably, never ask him ever again. Rolling your eyes, you push the food into his hands, you know he hasn't eaten yet, he tends to forget. "Eat it but don't think I will give up!" Storming out of his room now, his ears going back to normal, would you be behind him right now and his coat off, you would definitely see his little tail swishing from side to side.
Another failed attempt, your head now lying on Angels lap, as you both were bored in the foyer of the hotel. How could it be that no plan works? Was he despised by the idea of people touching his ears? Or maybe it hurt him? But then he wouldn't have allowed Niffty so many times to put stuff on his head and near his ears, like little self-made crowns or even flowers.
"Still no luck sweets? Maybe you should drop it, whiskers by now also absolutely going crazy worried about what your next plan will be." Angel was patting your head softly, running his fingers through your hair, your legs dangling off the side of the couch. "I really want to touch them, he just won't let me.." A small pout on your lips now, brows arched together in irritation. Over the last few days, you were breaking your head over what you could try next, but nothing really came to your mind. "Say, Angel.. your fluff is also a zone from your spidery traits, right? Would you let someone touch it?" Looking up at Angel now, he raised his eyebrows because you knew a lot of people were touching his fluff, but he figured out what you meant. "I would, because it doesn't do anything to me really, it barely tickles when someone goes too deep into it." It tickles? That was interesting, maybe Alastor's ears were also ticklish and that's why he didn't want them touched. To your surprise Angel pulled your hand to and into his fluff now, you never touched it like this. It was so soft, you bet Angel would make an amazing cuddle buddy. "See? It does nothing, but I know some others like me or smiles, who feel more on their animal traits, take whiskers for example, he wanted to cut off my hands the moment I yanked his tail once when I was drunk." You never knew that, that happened, interesting, you would definitely ask for more details of this story another time. Thinking about it now Husk would also probably not let you touch his ears or tail.
What you didn't notice was a certain demon sneaking into the hotel, watching you touch Angels fluff with stern eyes.
"Dearest!" Alastor was calling from behind you, as you made your way out of your room. "What's the matter? Do you need anything?" Alastor didn't say anything, but simply opened your door again and pushed you inside of your room, closing the door behind him. "Let's make a deal, you have to do something and in return I let you touch them." Your eyes sparking up now.. He was coming to you with a deal for touching his ears? And it wasn't for your soul?! This was probably the best day ever! "Sure whatever you want! Tell me! Now!" Your excitement couldn't be contained anymore.
"You are allowed to touch them once, in return you will never ever touch any other ones animal trait again." Huh? Your eyes blinked a few times as your brain registers his words. He asked you to never touch other's traits again? Did he mean because of you touching Angels fluff the other day? Did he see that? And why did it matter to him? Your brain was trying to puzzle together right now what this meant. "Wait.. I'm allowed to touch them once? No no no.. I'm allowed to touch them whenever I want, in return I won't touch others traits ever again." Holding your hand out with a determined expression now, Alastor's eye twitched again, but he still ended up shaking your hand, green lighting up from your hands for a second, but disappearing again after a second.
"Now.." A smirk played on your lips, as you took slow steps over to the demon, who was watching you closely. He lowered his head slightly for you to reach his head. Hands stopping an inch before his ears, fingers twitching to finally feel his ears. And finally all your advances and failed plans paid off. His ears were soft, the hair.. fur? On them soft, probably softer than his hair. They were rather warm, slightly moving against your fingers. Without thinking, you pressed a kiss against them, a gasp echoing from the demon they belonged to. Who knew all you had to do for him to agree was to slightly rile him up with jealousy?
"O-Okay! Enough!" Pulling back now, he was looking down at you again now. And what a sight he was right now. A sight you had never seen before. His face was bright red, as his ears stood tall in alert now, eyes wide and mouth despite smiling slightly agape by shock, probably of how much he actually liked it. "The deal was I could touch them whenever I wanted!" Looking at him with the best pout you could muster up now. Eye squinting a slight bit at you, before he could react, you grabbed his coat by the front, pulling him to your bed. "I will enjoy this now for as long as I want, I waited weeks and after all these failed attempts!" Fingers back on his ears now, softly running them over the fur, a cateful tug on them had the radio demon himself gasping, before biting his lip while trying to retain his signature smile. Wondering just how far you could go with this, till he might even pass out.
After hours, you finally stopped down to softly patting his hair, running your fingers through his hair. Leaning against the headboard, Alastor rested his head on your shoulder, visibly tired from you toying with his ears, now enjoying the contrast of your soft pats on his head.
"Does it feel weird? Or hurt?" Looking down at him now, you didn't even think of asking if it hurt him. Chuckling at how you're worrying for him now after hours of playing and patting his ears. "Do not worry your pretty little head love, I was so opposed to it because it's quite the opposite. It feels good, too good even sometimes." That explains his reactions a lot, his breath was rather hard when you were playing with them, and his face was crimson red at some point. If someone barged in to see him like this, they would have probably been dead by now. "Makes sense so.. do you have a matching tail?" At that his body tenses up, oh how you loved teasing him. But before you could take a peak under his coat, he was up on his feet and out of the room. This would be a fun new mission.
Angel couldn't help but cackle at the way Alastor stormed through the foyer and out of the hotel, absolutely disheveled. Husker just let out a breath when you joined them at the bar, though it stocked again when you told them of your newest plan of the radio demon and his deer tail. The radio demon probably already dreading your attempts and how he knew, he would in the end enjoy this just as much as he enjoyed you patting his ears.

POSTED: july 28th 2024.
TAGLIST (sorry if i forgot anyone, pls let me know!): @vannerriin / @mingtinysworld / @purple-bell / @bakepotatoman / @nxy3h / @taehyungmami / @nxcxllxsevens / @breadpuddingboys / @hotteokkay
masterlist.
When you wake the next morning, the consequences of restless sleep show up in your face as a reminder of what happened the night before.Â
It's not that you regret it, it's more the fact that you feel so unapologetic about messing with the perfect dynamic you have with Mingi that caused you to toss and turn so much.Â
Last night, after putting your duvet back on and then crashing into the mattress feeling all tingly and giddy, you asked yourself a thousand questions.Â
The main one being: What the fuck did you do?Â
The words kept repeating over and over in your head, your voice of reason (or your anxiety) screaming at you to get your phone and make it right before everything becomes a complicated, unresolvable mess.Â
You had a brief moment of panic and heavy breathing, your chest tight with unspoken emotion and your eyes filled with tears.Â
It was too much, so you forced yourself up and paced around for what felt like hours trying to get your feet back on the ground. Nothing was working, so you sat down at your desk and rested your forehead against it.Â
When you didn't feel the usual coolness of the wood, a comfort sensation for when your studies got the best out of you for the day, and instead felt a pen almost stab you in the eye, you -very confused- leaned back.Â
Mingiâs notebook and the pen he didn't put back on the pencil case seemed to stare back at you lovingly instead of mocking you for losing control over your own emotions.Â
A sense of peace washed over you when you flipped the pages and landed on the instructions he wrote down. Memories of the amazing years you have had by his side started crossing your mind, like recomforting flashes that allowed your heartbeat to go back to normal:Â
The first day you saw Mingi, chasing behind a worned out soccer ball and then kicking it so hard it landed on your lawn.Â
The first time you two hugged, when your dad scolded you for having bad grades until you cried in front of him.Â
The way he held your hand before heading inside to take the college admission exam, last year of highschool.Â
His kind eyes. His reassuring smile. The way he made you feel just a few hours back.Â
There's no getting rid of me either, love.
We'll figure it out.Â
Letting a few contained tears run down your cheeks, you nodded to yourself as if he was there in the room with you.Â
Yeah, you'll figure it out. Â
And then proceeded to, very much, not figure shit out for the rest of the night. You could still feel his hands everywhere and hear his voice against your ear whispering how much he knows you and pays attention to you.Â
You are fucked.Â
It's all you can think about when you get ready for the day. It's all you can think about when you help your dad with lunch and when you let your parents know at the table that you are going out that same afternoon.Â
âMingi is driving you, right?âÂ
âYeahâŚâ you whisper in response, eyes focused on one specific spot at the table and mind a million years away from the conversation.Â
âGood. He's such a good kid, Y/N, I'm glad he knows how to take care of you.âÂ
Choking on air when your brain finally catches up to her words, you look back up at your mother in shock âW-what?âÂ
âYeah honey, what? Y/N can take care of herself,â your father chips in, unaware of your red cheeks or the honest expression of panic you're giving both of them âShe's a big girl that carries around that, uh⌠What was it?â Ah, that pepper spray I gave her, right?âÂ
âR-right.âÂ
He lets out a satisfied see? at your answer, gives you a tiny smile and gets up from the table to take his finished plate over to the sink.Â
Your mom stays behind, giving you a look you can't quite read before her usual calm expression washes it away. Only then, you can take a proper, very needed, calming breath.Â
âI need to get ready. Thank you for the food.âÂ
âYou made it, dear.âÂ
âI mean! For taking care of the, uh, plates,â you clumsily correct yourself right away, getting up from the table as well âLove you. Bye!âÂ
You don't miss the confused giggle on your way to your room and when you're behind closed doors, you finally take into consideration that you might be, in fact, overreacting.
Not much, you think, but just enough to give your feelings away. And it's truly a shame, because you were planning on concealing and bottle everything up until it, inevitably, blows up in your face.Â
Maybe not the smartest option.Â
If you bang your head against the wall with enough force maybe, just maybe itâll helpâ
Someone's texting you.Â
> gi: heeeeey > gi: just woke up lol > gi: had the best sleep ever tho > gi: how are you, love?Â
Okay. So normal texting it is. Maybe your initial plan of just pretending nothing happened is, coincidentally, Mingiâs plan as well.Â
So you type in it's literally almost one, ya lazy and let your thumb hover over the send button, eyebrows creased at a sudden realization.Â
The casual texting annoys you.Â
Sure, Mingi is used to keeping everything casual between him and the people he sleeps with, but you're not just anyone! You didn't sleep together, either!Â
Oh, maybe that's why.Â
But it ticks you off either way.Â
Is he not feeling the same way you do? Did it mean something different for him than it did to you? What did it even mean to you in the first place?
Why, after all the panic you felt the night before, did you have any sort of expectation for today?Â
It doesn't make any sense.Â
You hit send.Â
> gi: aaaaand? > gi: god forbid a man gets a good night's rest after being thrown off a bed.Â
Scoffing, your eyes roll before you can even control it and, to your demise, the giddiness returns. You respond with did you get hurt? awww and raise a hand to your blushed cheek before sending the message.
> gi: yeah wtf > gi: my butt is all bruised. > gi: kiss it better?Â
Oh.Â
Not casual texting. At. All.Â
Or maybe it is?Â
Ugh.
Blanking on everything Mingi has ever texted you before, you decide it's best to entertain yourself by getting all pretty to sit around the house party tonight and do nothing else instead of torturing your confused brain any longer.Â
Using the help of an emoji to flip him off and, hopefully, gather yourself together enough to get ready, you shoot him another text rushing him to do the same because you don't want to be late.Â
And he usually takes forever to get ready anyways.
Showering with very cold water, taking a good thirty minutes to decide whether to wear something comfy and fitting or sexy and fitting for the party do the job when it comes to taking your mind off him for, at least, the time being.Â
Yunho was insistent the day before in that you didn't need to bring a bathing suit if you didn't want to, but you pack one anyways because you can sense Wooyoung's and Jonghoâs intentions even if the youngest couldn't make it to your impromptu gathering yesterday.Â
They know you hate when they get away with annoying you and throwing you into the nearest body of water -in this case, Yunhoâs pool- in front of many people you don't know (therefore, you are not going to able to go insane mode on them) seems like the perfect opportunity to get away with it.
The last time they did it you weren't really able to scold them properly either, so they laughed and pointed at you until you threatened to kick their asses in a very dishonest but playful way.Â
Mingi, of course, did nothing but laugh along with everyone else and then kiss your forehead as an apology later that day.Â
That was last summer and since then both perpetrators have treated you to meals and buttered you up enough for you to forgive (as if you didn't do that the morning that followed the incident) but you never forget.Â
Maybe you should. It would make the sight of Mingi parking outside your house easier, you think.
You're sure he's parking outside just to give your dad, who comes out to greet him with a hug, some peace of mind. He's very protective of you and he trusts Mingi even if he gives him a hard time everytime he sleeps over or takes you somewhere. Â
Like now, you have a very clear view through your window of the sermon he's giving your best friend. You don't hear it but he's moving his hands in the air way too much for it not to be a clear step by step on what to do if you run into any trouble on the way to Yunho's.Â
Mingi likes step by step and he's good at following instructions, so you don't think it's going to be an issue.Â
God damnit, Y/N, get it together.Â
Sighing, you pick up your bag, check your outfit once in front of the mirror, and rush downstairs and out of the door.Â
âYou do know how to change a tire, son?âÂ
Mingi is standing in front of your dad with his hands behind his back and a tight smile.Â
âYes sir, my dad taught me and then at the school they made sure I didn't forget about it.âÂ
âAnd make sure toââÂ
âCould you let the guy breathe, dad?âÂ
They both turn to, your dad wears a mocking smile and you see Mingiâs tight one breaks into a genuine one a second later. A grateful one, even.Â
He looks really good. Which is insane, considering that to you he looked like Chewbacca just yesterday morning.Â
Crazy what a good orgasm can do to a person. Or maybe it's the first time you ever let yourself see him in this light. Either way, he's wearing light wash jeans and a fitted t-shirt that clings to him just right and it's going to drive you insane, you can just feel it.Â
âI was just making sure that heââÂ
âKnows what to do,â you nod âHe knows what he's doing, dad. Stop giving him a hard time,â you give your dad a quick kiss on the cheek and then rush to the passenger seat, giving Mingi a glance so he can get in the car as well.Â
âAlright. Love you, take care!âÂ
âLove you too, Mr. L/N!â Mingi says, getting into his seat and giving your dad the opportunity to see when he fastens his seatbelt. He doesn't say anything else, even though he didn't tell Mingi specifically that he loved him and instead gives you both a nod of approval.Â
When Mingi finally drives off your street and into the main one, you sigh in relief.Â
âHe's neeever going to trust me, huh?âÂ
âHe trusts you,â you say right away, cheek resting against the seat so you can take a proper look at him âI'm his only daughter and you're a man after all. Cut him some slack.âÂ
âHe never cuts me some slack!â he fights back but you just laugh and he can't help but join you âYou look really good, by the way. A dress? Are you trying to impress someone?â The tone he uses sparks the remaining tension from the night before, like zero time has passed since he kissed you goodnight by your front door.Â
When you got into the car with Mingi, you didn't consider that you two would be alone for, at least, forty minutes before getting to your destination. Your mind skipped the fact that he has this new ability to fluster you by just existing near you and you curse it for not letting you prepare well enough for the way he's looking at you right now.Â
âObviously,â you answer in a whisper, clearing your throat a second later âWooyoung needs to be distracted so he doesn't tackle me into the pool the second we get there. Don't know if it's gonna work on Jongho, though.âÂ
Mingi clicks his tongue, baring his teeth and pretending to really think about it âI don't think so, love. You'll have to bribe him into considering dropping their whole summer schtick for you.âÂ
âYou can help me with that.âÂ
âCan I now?âÂ
âYeah. You can just⌠lock him up in a room and my dress can do the rest of the work.âÂ
Your best friend laughs and then takes a hand off the steering wheel to roll the hem of your dress in between his thumb and index. His knuckles brush against your thigh and you almost -almost- make a noise at the sensation.Â
âIt's not the dress, love⌠It's who's wearing it.âÂ
A bit of silence passes within the both of you.Â
âShut the fuck up, Song Mingi.âÂ
Laughter fills the car and drowns out the honking on the other side of the street and you wonder why you were worried in the first place.Â
Nothing has changed.Â
Aside from the intention laced with the flirting, it feels the same way it ever did and you couldn't be more glad because now that you know Mingi doesn't hate you (like you thought for a brief moment last night) or wants to hard launch a relationship that doesn't exist to your friends the second he gets them all together in the same room, you can enjoy the car ride and the evening that's about to follow it.
So you flirt with him freely, listen and sing along to songs that just feel like summer summarized in three minutes of exquisite writing and roll your window down once Mingi takes a turn into an hill, trees replacing the buildings you're so used to seeing.Â
Your friend is rich rich. His family makes good money and his parents go on lots of business trips. That being said, it's the first time you actually attend one of his parties, and so when you get to Yunhoâs house and ring the doorbell, youâre caught by surprise because you can already hear the loud music playing in the backyard and the blend of new and familiar voices through the thick door.Â
You expect him to open the door for you but Seonghwaâs smile is the first thing you see before you and Mingi both have the opportunity to step in.Â
âYou made it!âÂ
âIt's pretty hard to miss this house, Hwa.âÂ
Your older friend side-hugs you and stays by your side while Mingi takes it upon himself to put your bags for the day in the pile of other bags next to the door âHow are you doing today?âÂ
You're about to answer but when you look at him, you see him staring at Mingi, so you do too. He's staring at Hwa with a little smile âI'm doing good. I blocked her and everything and I can confidently say thatâŚâ he turns to you âMy egoâs not bruised anymore.âÂ
If Seonghwa caughts the spark between you and you best friend, he decides to ignore it âThat's gooââÂ
âMingi!âÂ
What the hell is she doing here?Â
Not, not that bitch from yesterday but this girl who Mingi meets with sometimes. You don't really know her, you just know she's gorgeous and that her name starts with an h, maybe?Â
She's a fashion major and it shows in the way she's dressed up today. Truly, an enjoyable company whenever she's around at frat parties, a saving grace when you're tired of surrounding yourself with only men.Â
Right now? She's your worst nightmare.Â
Wrapping her arms around Mingiâs neck and getting on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek, she smiles like she knows she's getting laid tonight and your best friend does nothing to pull her away.Â
She doesn't even say hi to you before dragging him to the backyard! You and Seonghwa follow them and when she takes Mingiâs arm and pulls him over to -you assume- introduce him to her friends, you almost stomp your feet like a little kid.Â
Trying to get rid of the annoyed frown on your face, you turn to Hwa with a teasing smile and your eyebrows raised.Â
âWell fuck me, am I right?âÂ
âI might!â Arms wrap around your waist and you feel Wooâs chin resting on you shoulder immediately after âThat's a very nice dress, Y/N.âÂ
If Mingi was next to you, like you want him to be, you would give him a I told you so glance. Instead, you just look at Seonghwa with absolute horror before he snickers and goes away.Â
âRight? And it looks horrible when it's drenched in nasty chlorine water.âÂ
âYou can't possibly know that.âÂ
âI know a lot of things andâ No! Woo, please don't,â you beg when he lifts you off the ground for a second. Behind you, you hear laughs and, even though you can't see them, you know it's San and Jongho âI just got here and I haven't even changed yet, please.âÂ
He turns you around and hugs you properly this time before letting you go. You take the opportunity to punch him in the arm and then go over to San and Jongho to do the same.Â
âWe'll let you get your swimsuit on this time.âÂ
âYou're so considerate, Jong. Seriously, they're going to give you the Nobel prize if you don't stop.â He mocks you, repeating what you just said in a higher pitched voice and you laugh as you sit next to Wooyoungâs ex-girlfriend, Gyuri.Â
San also has a girl sitting beside him with his arm around her, but you don't really know her so you just wave at her. They're all in their bathing suits already âSee how he tried to flirt with me to try to get me with my guard down? He's a monster.âÂ
âAnd in front of me, too? The nerve on this guy.â Gyuri, of course, backs you up immediately and you want to return her smile, but you can see Mingi from the corner of your eye and it's distracting.Â
âOh, they're ganging up on me already,â Wooyoung whines, sitting down in front of you both and handing you a drink âIt's like my worst nightmare.âÂ
âHe's enjoying it, don't let him convince you otherwise,â San says, getting up from his seat and taking his girl with him âEspecially coming from you.â He points at Gyuri and you laugh.Â
âWe're just friends now!âÂ
âThat's what you told me like three years ago beforeââÂ
Wooyoung gets up to chase after him and San lets go of the girl's hand to try to get away from him.Â
Turns out, you're not the one Woo tackles into the pool. This time, him and San crash down on the water hard and a few droplets of water wet your feet. Gyuri laughs and everyone else does too when they realize what's happening.Â
Jongho gets up and joins them in the water soon after to try and help (kinda, not really) San escape the wrath of his best friend.Â
You almost miss it, because you take the opportunity to look at your best friend and, when you do, he's already looking at you.Â
Breath catches on your throat and the lump that forms afterwards has a name and a reason: Mingi is looking at you with so much longing it physically hurts.Â
He looks like wants to drop everything and come and confuse your fragile mind even more, just like he did the night before.Â
Then why the fuck is he there with whatever her name is and her friends and not sitting right next to you?Â
You look away, grasping your drink for emotional support and convincing yourself you're starting to see things that are not actually there.Â
âWhy the fuck are y'all fighting this time?!â Yunho comes from inside the house and it's the first time you see him today âNo choking! No running! It's literally in the rules!âÂ
âWooyoung please let go of my boyfriend!âÂ
Ah. So she is Sanâs girlfriend. Still, you turn to Gyuri to ask.Â
âWho is shââÂ
âSanâs new girlfriend, Kyungmi. We don't give a fuck about her or San right now, we're mad at them,â you want to ask who we is, because Wooyoung seems like he's just playing, but she interrupts you again âWhat the fuck is going on with you and Mingi?âÂ
Huh?!Â
You make a quick mental review of your plan. Conceal? Clearly it didn't work. Bury your emotions deep so no one notices? You probably can't recover from the way you smile just dropped.Â
The only thing left on the list is pretend that you're insane, but you're not sure it'll work either. So you turn it on her: âNothing much. He played Espresso like three times on a row on the way here and I almost kill him, butââÂ
âYou can't bullshit me, Y/N.âÂ
Great, that didn't work either.Â
âI saw that. Seonghwa did too but he got up before I could convince him to ambush you,â she dramatically sighs, chugging the rest of her drink down âSo, what is going on?âÂ
âNothing,â that much is true âhe's literally with a girl right now.âÂ
âAnd she will never mean as much to him as you do. Next.âÂ
âGyuri⌠I really don't know what you want me to say.âÂ
Squinting her eyes at you suspiciously, Gyuri takes her time before answering and you fidget in your seat a little. Wooyoung liked her for a reason, she's feisty and goes straight to the point and it's something you usually admire but right now it's not the time for her to do this.Â
âI just thought maybe it finally happenedâŚâ She whispers and shrugs the entire conversation off before getting up âLet's head inside. They're going to start grilling meat at any second and I also don't want to be near Wooyoung when he gets out of there.â She points at him and you laugh.Â
Jongho has him in a chokehold and Yunho is trying to separate them while San desperately swims towards his girl that's still waiting for him near the edge of the pool.Â
âSure thing.âÂ
You pretend you don't feel Mingi's eyes on you as you move.Â
This is not unusual. Whenever you all go to parties, hosted by someone inside of the friend group or not, you end up separating from Mingi.Â
He does his thing. He's outgoing and he likes dancing while you enjoy conversation and drinking away at the rest of the party, occasionally making out with someone and calling it a night when your social battery runs out.Â
So you hang out with Gyuri in the kitchen until the sun starts going down and when the last ray of it disappears you decide it's time to swim a bit before you're too tipsy for it to be safe.Â
Grabbing your bag and greeting some new people you don't know at the door, you head up to the bathroom you are told by the host himself it's upstairs.Â
When your tying up the strands of your swimsuit, the door slams open and you jump and cover yourself up with your hands because you're not able to finish the job, so the strands fall down and the only thing holding the top part of the fabric it's you.Â
âWhat the fuck, Mingi?âÂ
Turning around, you're only able to look at him through the mirror.Â
âLock the door next time! What if it was somebody else?âÂ
âPeople usually knock!âÂ
âI didn't mean to scare you, it's the doorâs fault,â he makes a fool of himself trying to prove it âSee? Iâ let me help you with that,â he closes the door again and, this time, he locks it before taking a short step and grabbing the strands of your top âIt's the second time this week I scare you like that, huh? Iâm sorry, love.â He ties the strands together with a secure knot and his apology finally allows your tense muscles to relax.Â
You remind yourself that there's no valid reason for you to be mad at him. You'll figure it out, he said it himself, and maybe today is not the day to do so.Â
But he's not stepping away once he's finished, he's not even saying anything else before his hands grab your waist and his chest collides to your back.Â
Looking at him through the mirror again, you silently ask him with your eyes what he thinks he's doing. He ignores you, bending down so the tip of his nose can trace the skin on the side of your neck.Â
âI missed you,â his voice sounds like honey when he says it and you, once again, curse the ability he has to make you crumble âand you disappeared like an hour ago.âÂ
You let out a sigh.Â
âI was in the kitchen, Mingi, not missing and we were in the same space for at least twenty minutes before that and like⌠forty minutes in a car, together.â You remind him and he frowns âBesides, you were with Ha⌠Haneul?âÂ
âHanni,â he corrects and you huff out a whatever âand she was introducing me to some of her friends that are in the same major as me, just a year over.âÂ
âCool.âÂ
He pecks your shoulder. You do your best to not melt completely into him and fix your hair in the mirror.Â
âY/NâŚâ he starts and you hum in acknowledgement âI missed you.âÂ
It pisses you off for some reason. The mature thing to do is to let him know but the words that leave you are petty and laced with annoyance.Â
âIâm sure you did, buddy.âÂ
He grins against your skin and you turn around to face him, eyebrow raising.Â
âWhat's so amusing?âÂ
At your tone, he seems taken aback but his smile stays curving his lips upwards.
âI'm just really happy to have this moment with you,â he says, matter of factly, and you press your hands against his chest to regain some personal space. He doesn't budge an inch âWhat's going on?âÂ
He's such a guy sometimes.Â
âYou're here, kissing my neck, while a gorgeous girl who I'm sure is waiting for you downstairs is probably bragging to her friends about how she's going home with you tonight andââÂ
âY/N, I'm literally taking you home.âÂ
âI can easily take a car backâ Mingi, seriously,â taking a deep breath, you stare at him with all the honesty you can gather âI don't want to do whatever this is if afterwards you're going downstairs to dance and flirt with Haneul or whatever her name is.âÂ
He looks like he wants to correct you on it again, so you level him with a daring glance.Â
He keeps his mouth shut.Â
âAnd I also don't want you to hurt her feelings if you tell her you can't leave with her tonight, soââÂ
âI don't give a shit about her feelings, love.âÂ
âMingi, don't say that!âÂ
âI don't! I wasn't flirting with her at all, either! Listen, it'sâŚâ he stops to chuckle for a few seconds âI mean, it's adorable that you're jealous but there's no reason for you toââÂ
âShut the fuck up, Song Mingi.âÂ
It's the second time today you have said those exact words to him. The first time, you also felt your heart bang with such force against your rib cage but for a completely different reason.Â
âI'm not one of the girls you fuck on the side when you're horny or bored out of your mind. Don't fucking treat me like one.â You warn and suddenly the image of you telling him that teaching him yesterday could mess you both up crosses your mind. Â
âI'm not, Y/N! I'm just saying that you look adorable when you'reââÂ
âJealous? Why would I be jealous when we are not together, Mingi? I'm literally looking out for the girl!âÂ
âYou don't even know her name, love.âÂ
âThat's not the fucking point!âÂ
He finally takes a step away from you, closing his eyes and taking a calming breath, surely.
Now you're pissed off because he saw right through you and your words.Â
That disgusting weight on your chest you felt back by the pool while you kept staring at him from the corner of your eye? Jealousy.Â
Now that he brought it up, it makes sense.Â
You hate it.Â
You always hated being put in a position where you felt the need to compare yourself to others. Always hated how easy it is for anger to run through your blood and infiltrate every waking thought until it clouds your judgment.Â
Because you shouldn't be angry. He just said he didn't care about her feelings.Â
And yet, all you can think about is that he spent an hour with her instead of you.Â
When he turns to you, there's a storm in his eyes and you just don't want to hear it tonight.Â
âSave it, keep it, sleep on it and we'll talk tomorrow,â picking your dress from the spot on the floor it's been sitting all this time, you put the fabric on, take your bag and then unlock the door âIâm going home.âÂ
You don't give him the opportunity to say anything else before getting out of the bathroom but you do hear a groan when you're rushing downstairs.Â
Yeosang and Yunho are just leaving the kitchen when you trip on the last step and the host jogs the few steps to you after laughing.Â
âThere you are, Y/N. Listen, there's some meat already grilled back there but we'reââÂ
âI'm actually going home, Yun,â you cut him short âI'm not feeling that well. My plan was to swim a little before leaving but I don't think I can do it.âÂ
âDid something happen orâŚ?âÂ
What happened is coming downstairs as he asks.Â
âNope. Nothing, I just think I'm catching a cold or something. Thank you so much for inviting me though!â You hug your friend quickly, kissing his cheek before pulling away.Â
âAlwaysâŚâ Yunho is very observant but, as you always do, he doesn't press you with questions about what's going on âHe's taking you home?â Pointing behind you, you don't have to turn around to get what he means.Â
âYeââÂ
âNo. He's having a great time here, I don't want to get in the way,â you shrug âI'll just get an uber or something. Don't worry.âÂ
Yunho frowns slightly, eyes moving from your face to over your shoulder.Â
Immature. Petty. Rude.Â
You're sure that's the way youâre coming off right now. But feeling anger bubbling behind the smile you give Yunho, you think it's better they make their assumptions instead of actually seeing you upset.Â
You move to hug Yeosang as well and he murmurs his farewell. When you turn around, Mingi is no longer there and you donât spare a look towards the floor to ceiling glass windows that separate the living area from the backyard because you're sure he's sitting right beside that girl again.Â
As he should be.Â
You bolt for the door, giving your friends a tiny smile before going down the few steps and into the hill. It's already dark and you're sure no uber driver it's going up this hill for the tip you're able to offer them, so you figure your best shot is to go down and try to find a cab on the main street.Â
The light from your phone illuminates your scowl as you walk. Past the bushes and the trees and the lines of parallel parked cars where Mingiâs Lexus is.Â
You don't notice him there until he opens the backdoor to block your step.Â
âGet in the car, I'm taking you home.âÂ
Closing the door he just opened to stop you, you shake your head.Â
âI told you I'm getting a ride andââ
âI don't give a fuck. Get in the car.â And then he's opening his door and closing it so fast it gives you no room for debating.Â
He's angry. Shit.Â
You can't even see him through the tinted window to assess how much damage you have done, so you look down the hill one more time and wonder if making the run for it is worth it.Â
When your phone lights up with a notification from Gyuri asking you if everything's okay and to make it home safe, you take it as a sign to round the car and get into the passenger side with an annoyed huff.Â
The engine comes to life. You're not looking at him but at the trees until the leaves start showing the building lights in-between them and soon you're on the main road.Â
You can't even ask him to turn the radio on. Stubborn, you refuse to let the anger inside of you dissipate in fear of shame taking over. It's better being angry than being ashamed, at least in this exact moment because you can practically feel Mingi's anger through the silent treatment.Â
But you need to say something. The silence is suffocating and the street is surprisingly empty so you can't distract yourself with anything.Â
âYou shouldn't have bothered.âÂ
âI am bothered. You bothered me.âÂ
Clenching your jaw, you turn to him in disbelief âI told you to stay at the goddamn party so we can fix this tomorrow but I bothered you?â
âDid I stutter or something?âÂ
âNo, you're just not making any fucking sense!âÂ
âYeah, fuck this,â you see him look around, biting the inside of his cheek like he's holding his words in âWe're fixing this right now.âÂ
The car makes a harsh turn and you have to grab the door for support.Â
âMingi!â He's not listening to you anymore. His hard gaze stays on the road, it feels like forever before he pulls into a somewhat empty parking lot and when the vehicle stops you go to open the door and get the fuck away from him before you two kill eachother inside this car.Â
That's an exaggeration but with the way he turns off the car and unbuckles his seatbelt, you know your pride doesn't stand a chance.Â
The summer breeze briefly hits your face before his hand is on yours, closing the door and preventing you from, once again, escaping the situation.Â
Frustrated, you let out a loud groan âWhat the fuck is your problem?!âÂ
âI don't know, Y/N! But I'll tell you what your problem is, alright?â he chuckles. It's a humorless sound, his face painted in something you've never seen before âYour problem is that you assume you know what everyone else is feeling and you assume you're right. But intuition can only get you so far, love, so I need you to take your head out of your ass and think logically for a second.âÂ
Flabbergasted, you think you murmur something in your defense but he cuts you short.Â
âNo! You didn't let me get a word out back there so now you're going to shut up and listen,â he pinches the bridge of his nose and closes his eyes âYou assume you're smarter than everyone else but you're actually so dumb. Dumb, you're acting very dumb and reckless, Y/N! That back there?â he points out of the window to nothing but you know what he means âLeavingâ Scratch that. Leaving me and not giving me a chance to say anything back? Trying to go down that hill alone and in the dark? Stupid.âÂ
Staring back at him with watery eyes, you don't even know what to say back except a whispered excuse me?
âAnd usually I would beat up anyone who even dares to call you that but I guess all these years I've been wrong about you. Because if you were smart, you would've realized that Hanni means nothing to me and I mean nothing to her. There's nothing, she loves appearances and that's it.âÂ
You knew that already, but you're not giving your stance up.Â
What even is your stance? Ah, right, he treated you like an envious no one back there and not like his best friend. Â
âYeah, I can tell you mean nothing to her from the whiny tone and the hug and the dragging you to meet her friends, Mingi.â Scoffing at the memory, your lips press into a thin line.Â
âWell, she's a friendly girl!âÂ
âShe didn't even say hi to me!âÂ
âSo she doesn't like you, Y/N! Who cares!â you sure don't but, again, you just stare at him in disbelief and his open arms, palms to the sky âDo you care? Because I don't! And guess what? I doesn't fucking matter if she likes you or not or if she wants me or not because I like you!âÂ
What?Â
âW-what?âÂ
âI like you! And I'll choose you over her and everyone else again and again and again until you notice but fuck it's so tiring. You're so fixated on why I let her drag me to her friends that you completely ignored me the rest of the time we were there and maybe if you looked at me more than once you would've realized that I was staring back at you the whole afternoon!âÂ
You let out an annoyed chuckle âSo you were, Mingi.âÂ
âI was! I was trying to get you to look at me and notice how bad I wanted you to come over, rescue me from that boring ass conversation, grab my hand and claim your place right beside me becauseââ he pauses, resting a hand on the steering wheel and looking at you like he can't believe he has to spell this out for you âBecause I want nothing more than for her and everyone to know Iâm yours! I'm sure everyone already fucking knows too, except you. So yeah, sometimes, you're pretty fucking dumb for such a smart woman, Y/N.âÂ
Words escape you. They escape your mind, your reason and your pride shrinks until it disappears behind all the love you feel for Mingi.Â
So that's what you are feeling. That's what you felt yesterday night when the tiredness couldn't drown out your thoughts of him and all he meant to you.Â
Love, love, love. In all its forms, in all its possible scenarios. Your heart burns for it and you used to think that your hopeless romantic desires began and died with the movies you tend to see and the books you tend to read, that it was impossible to feel this way for anyone but there he is, chest heaving in the yellow interior light, waiting for you to say something back.Â
âAnd I realize that before yesterday I showed no interest in you but believe me when I say that IââÂ
Shakily, you interrupt him with whispered words, heart soaring and hands reaching out to cup his beautiful face âShut the fuck up, Song Mingi.âÂ
When you kiss him, you make sure to pour out everything you couldn't say a minute ago into it.Â
When he kisses you back with the same feeling, it crosses your mind that he already forgave you.Â
And when he grabs your waist and drags you over the break handle and the transmission to collide his chest against yours and drag his tongue along the seam of your bottom lip, you think that, for the first time ever, you have to tell him he's right.Â
You are stupid. Stupid for not realizing it sooner, stupid for confusing his longing stares for something platonic, stupid for thinking you could wait until tomorrow to tell him he has the right to see and be with anyone he wants to because this is it.Â
This. The way your entire body comes alive when he sighs into your mouth and groans at the way your knee opens up his legs to make room for you on his side of the car and partially on his lap. The way his thumbs run through your cheeks and dry the tears you didn't even feel falling down. The way your heart jumps frantically and the way its beats could get confused by his because you're so close.Â
Suddenly and unexpectedly, you can't recall a time Mingi didn't make you feel this exact same way. It's overwhelming, it expands through you like a fire and it knocks the remaining air out of your lungs enough for you to pull away and rest your forehead against his, shaky breaths tangling together and fingers grasping the neck of his shirt in an attempt to ground yourself.Â
You sniffle, incapable of not feeling emotional over his confession and your realization âI'm sorry, Mingi. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for treating you that way I was⌠I behaved likeâŚâÂ
âAn ass.â He nods and you look at him with the ghost of a smile tugging at your lips.Â
âYeah,â you nod as well âI was an ass. A jealous ass.âÂ
âI know, love.â He whispers, eyes moving on your face before his lips are on yours again, briefly, sweetly, even if you don't feel like you deserve it âYou tend to forget that I know you, hm? That I've seen you jealous before? You were an ass back then, too.âÂ
âOkay! Okay, stop calling me an ass, I get it.âÂ
âI'm sorry for waiting for you to do something when you didn't even⌠I guess you didn't know, right? The way I feel about you?âÂ
âI know now,â you whisper back, nudging your nose against his and then putting some distance so you can see him better âI feel the same way, by the way. We're shit at communicating, apparently, so I'll just tell you now thatââÂ
His lips are on yours again and he's giggling against them and shaking his head when he pulls away. Brown eyes search for yours and you're not sure what he's looking in them but he seems to find it, his muscles relaxing against the leather of his seat seconds later.Â
So you kiss him again. And again and again until your back starts hurting and the steering wheel is pressed uncomfortably against it, forcing you to shift on his hold.Â
âLet me⌠Wait.â He lets you go to pull his seat back and then closes his legs, forcing your knee to fall on his other side so you can fully straddle his lap âThat's better. Now come here.â And then heâs grabbing the back of your neck and stealing your breath away again with another kiss.
The tension shifts right then. When he can fully feel you pressing up against him and when a noise escapes you once his hands drop and give your bare legs the attention you didn't even know you were craving.Â
You thought a second ago that the sweet kisses would stop once you were both sated with the sweet aftermath of all the yelling and confessing but now you don't want it to stop.Â
There's a lot to catch up on, a lot of missed time you need to make up for.Â
You still want to make him feel good. The sparks from yesterday come alive again and soon you're yanking the strands of dark hair with your fingers and letting your mouth explore the skin of his neck. When you sink your teeth into his skin, he lets out the same noise he did the night before and you smile against the mark you just made.Â
His lips find your shoulder and he breathes hard into it once your hips start moving at their own accord, slowly yet firmly, the pad of his fingers digging hard on your thighs until you break away from his neck to focus on his face again.Â
âThis goddamn dress, love.âÂ
Humming, you caress his red cheek with your lips âWhat about it?âÂ
âBeen thinking about it all dayâŚâÂ
âIt worked, by the way.âÂ
âWoo?âÂ
âMhm. Distracted him so he didn't throw me in the pool right away.âÂ
âAnd Jongho?âÂ
âProbably plotting against me right now.âÂ
He laughs softly into your skin âProbably.âÂ
Chuckling as well, you stop your movements and take in how he looks. Gone, a little too fucked up from just making out, lips swollen and eyes clouded with something you're getting too familiar with, too quick.Â
âWorked on you, too.âÂ
He smiles and shrugs, letting his head drop into the headrest âYou look good in everything, love. It doesn't really matter what you wear.âÂ
âOh?âÂ
A firm hand trails up your body, slowly, from you leg to your hip, your waist to the side of your breasts and your until it cops your face with affection you never imagined you would experience.Â
âI have always thought you are the most beautiful girl to ever exist.âÂ
This is it.Â
Leaning into his touch, your lips connect to the palm of the hand holding you before you lean forward again.Â
âI love you, Mingi.âÂ
He doesn't seem surprised by your confession and you're glad he knows. It doesn't really matter if its too soon, if you even mean it in a romantic way or not, the love you have for him transcends all labels.Â
âI love you too, Y/N.â
And his does too.Â
You kiss him until it hurts.Â
He kisses you until you're gasping and your body is pleading for more.Â
The both of you kiss each other until you're sure nothing else will replace the taste of one another, that it will linger forever even if your paths stop crossing at any point in time.Â
It feels like you're trapped somewhere where the clock doesn't tick at all, where you can take your time exploring him with your mouth and your hands.Â
And then it doesn't.Â
The fabric of the dress starts bothering you, his tight shirt is suddenly not tight enough and the hardness steadily growing and pressing into your core is screaming for attention you can't give him with all these clothes on the way.Â
He feels it too, fingers tracing the hem of your dress for the second time today and then they're under it, pulling at the fabric up until it bunches on your waist.Â
You're still wearing the swimsuit he helped you put on earlier but it does little to conceal how affected you are. Looking down, you're not even ashamed of it when he follows your eyes and let his linger on the patch of wetness darkening the color of the bottoms.Â
Still, he moves his hands upwards again and soon you're struggling to get the dress off, considering you're almost bumping the roof of the car when you straighten your spine to do so.Â
âWanna know what crossed my mind when I saw you in the bathroom?âÂ
When it's finally off, he immediately goes for it: His index tracing your collarbone and slowly descending, his short nail dragging against your skin before the rest of his fingers join, right in between your breasts, where there's fabric holding together the top of the swimsuit.Â
He could easily tug on it if he wanted to. Instead, he ignores it and presses the heel of his hand against it, forcing you to lean back and almost bump into the steering wheel again.Â
Unable to speak and panting, you only nod as a reply to his question.Â
âHow easy it would be to get on my knees and eat you out. I thought: What if I justâŚâ Using his other hand to mess with the knots that keep the left bottom part of the swimsuit together, he demonstrates what he means without actually doing it, his eyes following the motions âUndo these, get on my knees and make her come all over my face?âÂ
âFuck, MingiâŚâÂ
âYou would like that, wouldn't you?â He smirks without actually looking at you, the hand on your sternum traveling down against your skin before joining the other one, teasing the knots on the right.Â
âY-yes.âÂ
Maybe he can see it on your face, the sudden nervousness at the scene he painted before you, because he grabs one of your hands and brings them to his lips before drawing you close again âPlease tell me your idiot ex-boyfriend ate you out when you were together.âÂ
Blush darkening, you make a face that gives the answer away.Â
He groans âHe's worse than I thought, fuck. Come here.â And without any warning, the back of his seat goes down until it touches the backseat with it.
Bracing yourself against his chest, because you went down with him as well, you huff out a surprised laugh âGo where?âÂ
âUp here. Let me teach you something tonight.âÂ
âMingiâŚâÂ
âFirst, you need to make sure your hands are cleanââÂ
âStop,â laughing, you interrupt his bad attempt at teasing you with the same words you used on him yesterday âThere's no real support for me if we do this, where do I evenââÂ
âKnees here,â he motions the backseat and you could actually do it, but you would have to sit on his face instead of hovering like you imagine it would be more comfortable for him âhands hereâ he points to the grab handle and the headrest of the passenger seat and then straightens his spine a little, bringing his face closer to you so he can whisper right into your worn out lips âTurn the light off, I'll do the rest.âÂ
He looks like he's going to kiss you but then he falls back onto the seat with an excited smile curving his lips.Â
What a tease.Â
So of course you turn off the light and prop yourself up into the position he wants to. It's challenging, the car is not that small but it feels like it is and you very much would rather do this on a bed, spare his back and yours in the process, but excitement also runs through your body and your brain stops making up excuses for why should deny yourself of the pleasure of Mingi using his mouth to make you see stars the second his fingers undo the knots and peel the bottom half of your swimsuit off your body with ease.Â
Lips trailing up your inner thighs and hands on each side of them, holding you in a secure position, Mingi doesn't tease you much before attaching his mouth to your heat and your subconsciousness flies out the window when his tongue flicks your clit.Â
You look down at him and the sight of him enjoying himself has you beaming, the warmth spreads through you and the zeroes on your pussy. You don't even try to quiet down your moans, completely forgetting that you're in a public parking lot that can fill up at any second.Â
But paying no mind to it either, Mingi also moans encouragingly into your wet folds when your hips move a little, chasing that high.Â
He shifts his focus to your entrance, his tongue working itself into you and when you move your hips again at the feeling, his nose bumps into your clit in a way that has you grasping the headrest for support, right hand slipping down and resting on the window while your mouth hangs open and your eyes shut close.Â
âMingi⌠Baby, fuck, I'llââ he adds his thumb into his ministrations, pressing it against your clit the way he did yesterday and it only takes a few side to side movements for you to come undone on his mouth.Â
And again, the intensity of your orgasm takes you by surprise. It's obviously not as intense as yesterday's but it still got you trembling so you want to curse him out for being that good at what he does.Â
He eases you into it, slowing his mouth and you only register that it leaves you completely when your thighs are being kissed tenderly.Â
Breathless, you look down at him and catch his smile before his teeth are sinking into your skin and forcing you to hiss out a laugh âGood?âÂ
âYeah,â you smile, climbing down from your position and hovering over his lap in an attempt to not ruin his jeans. It's very obvious he enjoyed it too, his crotch holding the evidence tight and probably painfully against the fabric there âReally, really good.âÂ
You want to get on your knees and return the favor, make him squirm in pleasure, but the space is not working in your favor. So even though your thighs are hurting and sweat is dripping down your neck, you start working on the button and zipper of his jeans before he sits up.
He wants to say something, but your tongue is touching his and tasting yourself on it before he gets the chance. Clumsily, a little too far gone for your liking as well, you are able to get through the layers of clothes and let your hand hang over his dick âAre you gonna make me beg for it today?âÂ
âYou don't have to, love.âÂ
âBeg?â you ask with a smile that he reciprocates âOr touch you?â your free hand brushes the hair out of his face, sliding down until you're propping his chin up with it, thumb tracing his bottom lip softly âBecause I want to touch you. I want to make you feel so, so good, baby. Please.âÂ
He kisses the pad of your thumb and then takes it into his mouth, tongue caressing the tip of it until you're panting again and then nods.Â
That's all the permission you need before taking him with your hand and pulling him out of his boxers. Taking your hand out briefly, you gather up saliva and spit right into it.Â
Mingi lets out a noise at that. Interesting.Â
Starting slow, you focus on his expression. Testing the waters, taking note of what he likes because, unlike him, you probably pushed to the corner of your mind every sexual conversation you two had before yesterday. You take a second to look down at it, the size is no surprise but your mouth waters at the image of you taking him into the heat of it.Â
Maybe another time. For now, you focus on making him feel good with the little you can offer him in the enclosed space of his car.Â
He mouths at your neck, choked up sobs vibrate through the skin on your collarbone and your top gets moved to the side so he can mark the side of your boobs as he pleases. It sets the fire inside of you alive again, your folds getting wetter when he rolls his tongue around your nipple and then throws his head back when you twist your hand in a motion he seems to really enjoy.
âJust like that, love.âÂ
To your delight, he's not quiet. He's loud, he's grabby, taking the opportunity to hold onto your ass and press down on the skin when you tease his slit and gather his precum on your fingers so you can spread it around his cock and your hand can slide easier.Â
Movements get sloppy once he's close, he's no longer paying attention to you and you welcome it as a great sign, his hips bucking into your hand and he moves you forward until you're sitting on his lap again.Â
The only thing preventing your pussy and his dick to touch being your hand.Â
You glance at him and he looks back, probably the same idea popping up into his mind so you nod once.
The car moves as you two move around, to the back seat, the spine of his seat up and the entire thing moving forward to make space for him next to you, over you, on top of you once he kicks his jeans and boxers off to the floor.Â
You reach out to him in a silent plea and he bends down to kiss you soft and moist and hot and breathy, sensually, with sweet sounds escaping both of you when you reach under his shirt and lift it up until he gets what you want. Discarding it with the rest of his clothes, your top follows it and the contentment you feel when his naked chest touches yours is unmeasurable.Â
There's no real room to move around and there's not really any patience left within both of you, so when he apologizes when he moves his hips where he shouldn't and his tip brushes your entrance, you pull back from his bruising mouth.Â
âCondom. Now.âÂ
He obliges right away, searching on his jeans for a minute or so and when he comes back he's smirking like he can't believe you âWhen I told you we needed to raincheck I didn't mean it to be like this. Bossy.âÂ
Even if you're punching him on his chest and giggling at his breathy words, you take the teasing with pride âYou started it, Mingi!âÂ
Putting the condom on skilled and fast, he's soon resting his forehead against yours and kissing you softly again âI wanted you on my bedâŚâ his lips trail down and the giggles die on your throat as he's kissing it, a moan escaping you âOn your back or knees or riding meâŚâ he continues in a whisper going down and down and down, giving your nipples attention before going back up and taking your mouth in his again âMaking a mess on my cockâŚâÂ
He takes the opportunity to enter you slowly and you gasp at the stretch, wet enough so it doesn't hurt you but you're unfamiliar with him, with his size splitting you open deliciously.Â
âF-fuck, Y/N.â Mingi leans back to watch you take him in and you whine again. Tilting your head back, you let him work himself in and you moan loudly when he almost bottoms out âLook at youâŚâÂ
You don't. You can't. He's pressing his thumb on your clit again to ease you through the stretch and it makes the heat pool in your belly like you didn't come in his mouth a few minutes ago.Â
Slowly but surely it gets easier for him to rock his hips into you, mouth parting in pleasure when you remind yourself to look at him. His abdomen tenses when you run your nails against the skin there, softly, until you're detouring them into his back and sinking them in just enough to have him whining at the feeling.Â
âBaby⌠Harder.âÂ
âYeah?âÂ
Hips bucking up to meet his at a particularly hard trust, you reach up to him so he can rest his body weight on yours. Close like this, with the pace picking up, the knot on your lower half tightens and threatens to break.Â
âYou take me so well, love. Fuck, always knew you would,â you know he can feel your walls tightening around him at the praise, because he smiles and kisses you once before continuing âMy pretty, pretty girl⌠Taking my cock so wellâŚâ he punctuates his words with the roll of his hips and you cry out, holding his face in between your hands, his eyes never leaving yours.Â
In this position, his lower abdomen bumps into your clit and it's soon tipping you over the edge.Â
âSo good, so good, ohâ Oh, God.â You're mumbling incoherently while Mingi keeps whispering sweet nothings and then the tension on your belly breaks. It takes three seconds of your walls pulsating around him for him to groan loudly into your mouth and come undone as well.Â
The only thing you can hear is breathing, all you can feel is breathing. His against your chin, yours blowing on his hair when you rest your cheek on his temple.Â
It takes a second to gather yourself again and when you do, you tilt your head back to give him a chaste kiss that he returns.Â
âThat was so good, baby.â You tell him and he smiles, nodding in agreement âI am sticking to the fucking seat though.âÂ
Mingi snorts and just like that the energy shifts back to the usual you. Only this time, you come back to it knowing that no oneâs ever going to have you the way he does.Â
He slips out of you, doing his thing with the condom and you sit up, looking through the windows and becoming aware of your surroundings for the first time since you got there.Â
There's a car parked far away from you that's empty and the rest of the cars that were near it have left. You wonder how long this all took, because you lost track of time the second he told you he likes you.Â
Chest still heaving and boxers now on, Mingi rests his back on the door and takes your hand in his âIs it dumb of me to assume you're my girlfriend now, love?âÂ
âIs it dumb that I assumed that's what I was when you said you like me?âÂ
âNo,â he answers right away ânot dumb at all.âÂ
Smiling, you nod âThen I'm your girlfriend, Mingi.âÂ
He beams at that and then he's crowding you again âSay it again.âÂ
âI'm your girlfriend.â you repeat, enunciating each word and giggling when he nuzzles his nose into the crimson on your cheek âIâm yours, baby.âÂ
Resting his forehead against yours, he hums in contempt âGood, because I've always been yours too.âÂ
âThere's no way! You two... together? Guys⌠See, that would be me if I didn't saw it coming but I'm smarter and cooler than everyone here so I did.âÂ
Wooyoung's over the top reaction has Mingi throwing his head back in a silent laugh and you staring at the black haired guy, unamused and a little offended.Â
It's two days later and, as usual, you're at Wooyoung's and Sanâs apartment hanging out.Â
After putting your clothes back on and going for some well deserved food, Mingi took you home, kissed you goodnight and showed up the next day after class to break the news to your parents.Â
Your mom almost cried. Your dad too, but for a completely different reason.Â
In the end, they both agreed they saw it coming and when you told Mingiâs parents, they said the same thing and invited yours to have celebratory dinner without you.Â
What happened in Mingiâs room after was worth missing dinner anyways.Â
Mingi and you decided to break the news when most of the group showed up for movie night and you were nervous to see their reactions.Â
But everyone seems unaffected by it.Â
âI knew you guys liked each other the second I met you. Ask Gyuri, she agrees with me.âÂ
âSadly, I do.â Wooyoung's ex looks at you from her spot by the door, where she's getting her shoes on.Â
She winks at you and you fake a gasp, falling into your boyfriend's lap with an annoyed huff.Â
âAnd no one told us?!âÂ
âSorry, Y/N. We didn't want to get in the way.â Hwa is apologetic and Yeosang nods alongside Hongjoong but you gape at them like they betrayed your trust.Â
âTo be fair we didn't know tillâ last week, love.âÂ
âShe didn't know.â Gyuri corrects him and now you turn to her to give her the betrayed look âYou were pining over it for six months already.âÂ
âI say it was more like nine butâŚâ Hwa shrugs and sips his cup, giving the man holding you close a knowing smile.Â
Oh, they definitely talked about it, huh?Â
âNine months and no one cared to fill me in, huh?âÂ
âIâm sure Mingi didââÂ
âWooyoung!âÂ
âWell I didn't notice.â Yunho interferes with a shrug and gives you a recomforting smile that doesn't work at all.Â
San laughs âThat's because you're a puppy that can't even tell when someone likes you.âÂ
âAm not!âÂ
Everyone, including you and Mingi, make a noise in agreement with San. Â
âYou're one to talk, though, leave the puppy alone.â Gyuri tells her ex's best friend and Wooyoung laughs at him when his smile drops.Â
There's some story there you don't know.Â
âGuys⌠Does someone like me right now? Be honest.âÂ
Yeosang is about to tell him something but Jongho interrupts.Â
âEnough with the love talk! Can we start the movie?â But he's pressing play already, so the answer doesn't really matter.Â
Gyuri laughs once and Wooyoung makes his way over to her to give her a hug that she enjoys for one second tops before pushing him away.Â
âEnjoy everyone! I'm so happy for you two, by the way, not that these neanderthals would tell you to your face but I'm sure they're too.âÂ
âThank you, Gyuri.â Mingi murmurs from behind you and you mouth a thank you as well before she leaves for the night.Â
Something about her best friend having a boy crisis.Â
You don't miss the way Sanâs eyes follow her until she leaves or the way he looks at Woo, something clearly worrying him.Â
His best friend ignores him, though, so you confirm that might just be a little pissed off at him after all.Â
âTell her to text you what happens.â San asks Woo once she leaves and he rolls his eyes.Â
âMhm. Iâll tell her to stop calling us neanderthals too.âÂ
You smile âWell, she's right.âÂ
âNuh-uh!âÂ
Jongho has to stop the movie and you see him sulk while everyone else is arguing. Some of them, like Hwa and Yeo, are siding with you and Gyuri. And the rest of them, like your boyfriend, are telling them off.Â
When you turn to face him, his argument dies mid-sentence because he stops to smile at you. He takes your face in his hand and kisses you for the first time ever in front of everyone else. The group stops the argument to tease you both and you laugh into his mouth.Â
A cushion is thrown at you and Jongho gets up to separate your faces before sitting beside you with a pout on his lips.Â
âCan we watch the goddamn movie?!âÂ
You're the happiest you've ever been.
If you read all the way down here: THANK YOU SO MUCH. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Birdritch part 2 Yeah, there's a subscription post now...
Danny pulled another sweet potato fry from his bag before refolding the top to keep it warm. Heâd finish all the fries before he even got home, he knew that, but that was future himâs problem. Right then being able to munch on the sweet, salty goodness as he took a shortcut through the park was just what he needed. There was something about Robinson park that always settled him.
It was probably because of the parkâs wild, otherworldly nature that came from Poison Ivyâs control. It almost felt ghostly in how unreal it was. It was another thing Danny tried not to think too hard on and just enjoyed. It wasnât that Danny was ignoring the fact that he was half ghost (as he always tried to convince himself), he just wasnât dwelling on it anymore. Ghosts had consumed his life for so long and he needed a break.
Even before his accident (it was easier to just call it an accident when people asked about his scars), his parentâs obsession controlled their house, family, and lives. He got now that it wasnât normal to grow up not cooking because the food might eat you. Or because your parents were too busy in the basement lab to remember. His time away from Amity Park in college made Danny realize that Jazz and his childhood had been at best unsafe and at worst negligent.
It had taken Danny a lot of therapy to be able to say those words.
Being honest, Danny still needed a lot of therapy, but there was only so much progress he could make when he couldnât really explain that he was half dead and had spent the end of his childhood fighting ghosts, the government, and his parents. He was half tempted to try and track down Harley Quinn and see if she was up to taking on a new patient. (Danny was pretty sure that she wouldnât rat him out to the authorities.)
A vine thrashed suddenly in front of Danny, hitting the sidewalk with a meaty thump.
Danny froze.
Fuck.
His phone was out of power.
He couldnât check if something was going on in the park.
While Poison Ivy was much more Pamela Isley than rogue these days, as seen by the city just letting her have control of much of the park, she was still temperamental and the rightâ or wrongâ sort of thing could set her and her plants off. (Sometimes the plants went off on their own. Everyone knew not to be a sleaze bag in Robinson park.)
Slowly Danny started to back up.
Several more vines wretched themselves out of the ground around him.
He could hear shouting somewhere off to his left. Out of the corner of his eye he could see movement from the plants that direction.
Alright, not angry at him then.
Danny crept forward slowly, keeping his motions as calm and small as possible. Just because they plants werenât angry at him it didnât mean they werenât a threat to him. His best chance was to stay on the path and head in the direction away from the noise.
And away from the over sized flowers.
Well fuckity fuck.
Most things Poison Ivy could do werenât really a threat to Danny. He could phase away from vines, after all. But the flowers? The flowers had pollen and pollen was an unknown; one that Danny didnât want to be known. Sam was rather certain that the pollens could effect Danny in odd and unknown ways due to his half ghost nature.
He had refused to let Sam experiment on him to figure it out. Comparing her fervor to his parentâs helped shut that idea down for good. Danny didnât regret avoiding being a lab rat, even as he was staring down the ruby red flowers to his right. He still just had to keep his motions as calm and small as possible.
The flowers were only an issue if they let their pollen out.
Danny started to move in as wide of an arc as he could around the flowers.
While they were closed up he was safe.
Dannyâs left hand spasmed.
The paper bag of food crinkled.
The flower petals unfurled.
Fuck.

a/n: it's not sad.
Pining so intensely for something you never had to the point where you physically ache.
Each step that you take away from Satoruâs house feels like a stomp to your already broken heart. Your eyebrows furrowed, feeling the waterlines of your eyes start to get hot and itch. You recalled the noises and laughs that you heard from them while you walked out of their door.Â
They have no idea how much you want to get down on your knees and beg them not to take away the only thing you have left.Â
Your feet feel heavy with each stride you make toward your car. You could taste blood inside your mouth as you bit your inner lip to channel the pain away from your heart and to your body instead. You found yourself looking for answers on why all of this has to happen to you. As if being replaced by the man you love so easily and having to see how he treats someone else a thousand times better than you were not enough, you also have to witness your own flesh and blood turn away from you. Am I really that far behind that woman?
Is she that much better that even my own child prefers her over me?
You placed your hands on the steering wheel, looking down at your lap as you let the tears fall. You kept glancing over at the gate, hoping that Satoru would come out, running with your baby in his arms. Yet, you donât want him to see you crying miserably. You swallowed thickly, letting out a large breath in an attempt to get rid of the painfully heavy feeling in your chest.
Driving away was numbing, and all sorts of thoughts ran inside your mind. But above all of them, your eyes were focused on the toy store as it got bigger in your view. You wondered about what you could get your little love to at least make her smile when she comes home. You remembered how your gift to her, her favorite bear that she used to hug as she sleeps ever since she was an infant, was cast aside as she clings to her new ones.Â
Is that a foreshadowing of how youâd end up being in her life? It scared you.
Reaching the parking lot of the store, you looked at yourself in the car mirror, noticing your bloodshot eyes. You inhaled and let a big breath out slowly, puffing your cheeks as you assured yourself that itâll be fine when she comes home later. Your head hurts so much but you canât afford to care, stepping out of your car and heading to the front door of the store. The first thing you saw was a pregnant, young lady checking baby books.Â
She reminded you of yourself when you were still pregnant with Yui; curious about everything, eager to learn, and all was about the baby. You admit that it wasnât like that at first, given that you were young and had to drop out of college at that time. You were anxious, torn between decisions, and terrified of what life would be like for you from that point in time. During that period, you and Satoru were ignorant but trying hard to figure everything out.
You met Satoru at a nightclub where you worked as a bartender. He was flashy, and women just flock to him as if it was the most natural thing to do around him but that night, his eyes were on you. What with persistent offers of buying you drinks and talking to your manager to let you off early for the night, you ended up in a luxurious hotel suite with him.Â
He even wrote his number on the price tag of the fancy lingerie set that he bought you after he ruined the one you were wearing the previous night. He was joking that youâll never get enough so heâs providing you his contact for next time. You thought that would be the end of it. You didnât think that it was just fate giving you a helping hand in advance because youâd end up with a child together.Â
You consider it a dumb mistake. You know that Plan Bs exist. But with a working student like you who couldnât even have time to get a proper boyfriend, it slipped your mind. The first thing you did after you got the results was call Satoru. You thanked the heavens that he wasnât seeing anyone, and that he remembers you. It was a tense meeting, what with you asking if he wants you to abort the fetus. Next thing you know, you two were already dealing with your mood swings.Â
âLook, I really want to work this out with you, Y/N. For the baby.â Satoru sighed, slamming the door behind him as he watched you sit on your old couch. You lean your elbows on your knees as you covered your face with your hands, harshly running them down your cheeks to wipe away the big, fat tears that fell from your eyes. There are just so many things going on with your life.Â
âIâm only 21, Satoru. I got my whole life ahead of me.â You looked up at his tall figure, frustration was evident in your eyes. You can tell that he was also distressed. His hair was messy, his jaw was clenched tightly, and even if you cannot see behind his tinted glasses, you can tell that he hasnât been getting enough sleep. The dark half-circles under his eyes and the redness in them show just how exhausted and disquieted he has been in the past few days.
Satoruâs five years older than you. He was born to a rich family of politicians who don't and probably will never need support from him or the other younger generations in their household. He has a stable source of income, he could probably make life investments that could cover your yearly living expenses. He has nothing to worry about, he wonât be dropping anything if he decides to take in another mouth to feed. But youâŚ
Youâre basically your motherâs retirement plan and now you got pregnant with a kid of a man you barely know. âY/N, listen to me.â He got down on his knees in front of you, trying to take your hands off of your face as you sob, struggling to catch your breath. Whatâs going to happen to you now? You didnât even get to finish the degree that your mother was working her ass off day and night for.
âYou wonât have to worry about anything, you know? Iâll handle everything you needââ He trailed, trying to calm you down as he gently grabbed your forearms. âYou donât understand!â You cut him off, snatching your hands away, aggravated that heâs not thinking about how it could affect everything in your life. âThen, what the fuck do you want to do?!â You flinched as he raised his voice at you, breathing hard as he backed away.
âYou think youâre the only one whoâs going to be affected by this? You think youâre the only one whoâs being robbed of another future! Open your fucking eyes, stop being selfish!â Satoru snapped back, harshly taking his glasses off before throwing it across the room. You started to cry, whimpering as you used the collar of your shirt to wipe your tears away.
âIâm scared, Satoru. Iâm just so scared. I canât even take care of myself, how am I supposed to raise a childâŚâ You broke down, turning your body away from him. There was a long pause, a moment of pure silence, save from your sniffs and Satoruâs ragged breathing.Â
You felt the couch dip as he sat down before pulling you to him, letting you cry on his chest. âI know, I know. Iâm sorry.â You would be lying if you said that the back rub, the temple kisses, and his whispers of reassurance didnât calm you down. Those thoughts were recurring in your head and now that you finally let it all out and got answers from him, you were soothed.
You blinked hard, shaking your head to get out of your trance. You went straight to the dolls section. You canât believe you just had a flashback of Satoru comforting you in the warmth of his chest. Your mouth started to twitch, wishing that he held you like that earlier when his girlfriend was slapping into your face that theyâre gonna give your child siblings. It shouldnât hurt you, but it still did. You realized that this girl, this woman is gonna have everything you wish you had with Satoru.
You walked past the kiddie pools and trampoline section, stopping when you saw a playpen, almost similar to the one Satoru bought for your little girl but smaller. The size doesnât really matter though, because you know that you donât have enough space in your place for something so big, anyway.Â
Going closer to check the prices, you bit your lip as your eyebrows bumped together. You were calculating your monthly expenses along with the money for your savings in case of emergency. Itâs expensive but youâre determined to cut back just to buy it. You kept your eyes on the tag as you took half a step away from it but your back was met by something, or rather someone behind you.
âItâs not cheap, is it?â A manâs deep voice boomed as you turned around, but your eyes were met by a broad chest. Heâs big, you thought. Heâs literally blocking your view. It didnât help that you were short enough to have to look up to see his face. He was also staring at the playpen as he held the pushcart beside him.
âY-yeahâŚâ You answered, a bit awkward as you found yourself admiring the guy. You admired fathers who are active when it comes to their children. You grew up without a father so, you just found it endearing. You looked away from the man, gritting your teeth as an image of Satoru and his girlfriend shopping for baby things appeared before your eyes for a split second.
âExcuse me, sir. I still have to buy my daughter a gift.â You bowed slightly before turning away. He just nodded his head, too occupied to even look at you. You proceeded to check out the little dolls, hoping that youâd find something thatâll really catch your daughterâs eye. Picking up a dark-haired baby doll with big blue eyes sitting on a stroller, you smiled as you remembered how it has the same eyes as your baby.
You went to pay for the doll, and your heart was filled with joy despite the throbbing pain in your skull and the hot feeling behind your eyes. You reminded yourself not to forget to take your medicine. Thinking about getting sick and having to leave your child for a couple of days with them again makes you anxious, afraid that sheâll never want to go home to you again.Â
You hurriedly went home, driving in the midst of the rain. You put the little doll on the chair, ready to surprise your baby girl when she comes back. You had to bear with the time, constantly checking your phone if your little girl and her dad are on the way to you. Your heart swelled at the thought.Â
Though, you know that youâll never be the one he comes home to, itâs still nice to think about.Â
â--------------------------------
âShe really called me Mama.â Naomi giggled as she kissed his daughterâs cheek. Satoru smiled, watching them play together warms his heart. It made him feel like he was staring at his family even if he knows that his daughter isnât hers. He pursed his lips, remembering the look in your eyes at what you heard the child say.
He felt conflicted, not knowing how to react to all of it. He doesnât want to embarrass his girlfriend by correcting her in front of you. But he also felt bad that he just watched you walk out that door on the verge of tears. Satoru had you memorized after all this time, it wasnât a long time but he used to watch everything you do.
âI donât think itâs a good idea, though.â Satoru sighed, shaking his head as he pushed a bit of Naomiâs hair away from her face. Her expression dropped as she adjusted the toddler in her arms. Satoru pulled her close to his side, hugging her waist as he thought about how to explain it to her without making her feel disheartened.
âIâm worried about how Y/N will feel about it, to be honest. I donât know but it may worry her.â He kissed the side of her forehead before stepping away as he watches his daughterâs eyes look at them. He knows that sheâs still too young but he feared that sheâll get confused by all of this.Â
Like why is her father not with her mother, and why is he holding someone else?
He wondered if sheâll grow to hate him for giving up on their family. âOh, Is that soâŚI thought we were fine already.â Naomiâs voice was quiet as she bit her lip, making Satoru rethink. âItâs not that, I just think that maybe thatâs how she might feel.â Satoru took one of her hands, kissing it before rubbing his thumb on her soft skin. âNo, I understand, I got too comfortable. Iâm just a girlfriend, I shouldnât have done that.âÂ
Satoru doesnât want to make her feel like this, sheâs just really attached to his baby. He knows that Naomi adores kids, they often joke around about it, so he could see why sheâs excited about his daughter calling her Mama. Thinking about it now, maybe this shouldnât be so bad. After all, sheâs not gonna be just a girlfriend to him forever, right? Naomi is a great person, and Satoru thinks that itâs not impossible to have a future with her.
âDonât say that. Thatâs just my assumption. Sheâll tell if itâs not alright, I know. Weâre co-parenting so we have to talk about those stuff.â Three squeezes to her hands made Naomi smile sweetly at him, her eyes as kind as the stars. âYeah, discussions are important. I donât want her to feel like Iâm trying to keep her away from us.â The calmness in her voice comforted Satoru.
â-------------------------------------
After receiving a text from Satoru, you found yourself staring at the mirror, retouching your makeup like itâs gonna make him fall for you. Hopeless. Not long after, the doorbell rang and you dashed to the door. There, Satoru stood with Yui asleep on his shoulders. You took her bags, along with the teddy bear that she was hugging to her chest. Seeing her holding it again made you feel relieved.
âAre you feeling better now?â Satoru inquired, walking past you to put your kid in her little bed. You hummed in response, âSheâs full, donât give her any more milk. Naomi fed her before she fell asleep.â Her again. You thought as the small smile on your face dissipated. Youâre just thankful that he didnât take her with them here.
There was a moment of silence as the two of you watched your daughter sleep peacefully. A sigh escaped Satoruâs lips before he turned to you. He was about to say something, but closed his mouth, thinking. You took a deep breath, pursing your lips as you collected your thoughts. You started to rub your hands together, trying to get rid of the cold feeling on your fingertips.
Your communication issues with Satoru only worsened when he got a girlfriend. Seeing how he is with her made you doubt the importance of your words to him. Itâs like if you get stuck in a room together with her and something happens, youâre almost certain that heâd accuse you first. You wouldnât admit it but you yearn for him. You yearn for the way he acts towards her. You yearn for the things he does for her.Â
You yearn for the things he so easily, willingly offer to her; things you had to beg for when you were still together.
âSatoru, I just want to askâŚSince when did Yui start to call Naomi Mama?â You looked at the ground, somewhat embarrassed of your question but canât pinpoint why. It just made you feelâŚweak and insecure. And you are that. But you canât let Satoru see it. You donât want him to feel even more sorry for you. You can see it in his and his girlfriendâs eyes whenever they look at you. They probably pity you and the state you are in.Â
Alone. With no one to hold your pieces together but you.
âI donât really remember. Look, I was going to mention thatâŚâ Satoru trailed, looking everywhere but you. He probably noticed your discomfort earlier. âI know it doesnât seem right to you because sheâs just my girlfriend butâŚâ Hereâs the âbutâ again. How come he can always find the good when it comes to her, even when she literally did you so wrong by letting your daughter call her Mama and even acting like one in front of you?
Ever since Satoru got a girlfriend, arguing with him started to feel like fighting in a war without any type of armor in your body. How are supposed to stand strong, when the fact that heâll always be on her side was your weakness? There were times when you wanted to fight for yourself but you couldnât bear to because you know that he was shielding her from everything, heedlessly deserting you.
âI didnât really appreciate it. I mean⌠I-I just think sheâs not in the place toââ You thought the words you chose to describe the situation were too risky when you were cut off by Satoru, taking his glasses off. You canât read him but heâs looking at you with that apologetic gaze again. His face was filled with contrite and you canât quite understand why. But like a mouse sensing danger, you wanted to run away.
âIâŚIâm thinking about proposing to Naomi.â It shouldnât hurt. You told yourself again. You donât have the right to feel hurt. This man disrespected you, hurt you, and made you feel so incredibly small yet here you are, wishing you were the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with. âI know sheâs just my girlfriend now, but itâs bound to change.â You suddenly just wanted him to leave. âSheâŚsheâd like to ask for permission to let our daughter call her Mom. You know she treats Yui like sheâs herââÂ
âI donât want to.â You whispered firmly through gritted teeth, cutting Satoru off. You donât wanna hear it anymore. You canât go through that again and you canât let that happen again. âYui is my daughter, and I donât want her calling anyone else Mama.â You looked up at him with glassy eyes before turning away to walk out of the room, not wanting to startle the toddler from her slumber. Satoru was instantly on your tail, calling your name.
âSheâs my daughter, too. Y/n, what is wrong? I know that you have your limitations and thatâs why Iâm here to talk about it with you, but why are you acting like this?â He walked closer to you, trying to catch your eyes. âI know itâs not just about this, I know youâve been having problems with her but give a reason, at least. Sheâs been nothing but good to our kid. â Itâs getting hard for you to breathe as you tried to process your emotions and his questions.
You proceeded to the kitchen, hurrying to grab yourself a bottle of water before you collapse, but failing terribly when Satoru spoke the next sentence âY/N, we all have to adjust, donât be unfair to her, she doesnât deserve it.âÂ
âAnd I do?!â You shouted at him, taking him by surprise and making him take a step back.Â
âYou think she doesnât deserve any of that shit but I DO?!â You lamented, shaking your head in pain and disbelief. There were tears streaming down your face and no pattern of breathing can help you control it. You were able to keep it in when he shoved his new girlfriend in your face several months ago, but now itâs taking its toll.
You were about to get the clothes that he bought for your daughter on your way home from work but were met with a woman snuggled up to him on his couch. You hated him for allowing you to see them like that when he knows that you havenât even processed your split yet because a month before that, he was saying that he could fix his shortcomings for you and his daughter.Â
You remember how sick you felt in your stomach when he introduced her, saying that you werenât supposed to see them like that. Itâs revolting; how he thought that you were upset because of what you saw and not because he just went back on his words. Naomi kept her head down, standing in front of you as she muttered an apology before scurrying to Satoruâs room.Â
Naomi was his fatherâs new assistant and unlike you, she got to finish her studies. Despite being classmates in high school, she was three years older than you due to the frequent relocation of her family. Regardless of her tough childhood, she was known to be a smart kid. No wonder his mother approved of her in such a short amount of time.Â
You and Satoru were never perfect but it doesnât mean that you were never happy with each other before. The issues overpowered your interest in each other, making it hard for the two of you to bounce back. You admit that youâve been negligent of Satoru at a certain point of your relationship but it was only because you got tired of his ways.
He would come home late, making you stay up all night because he failed to reply when you texted him, asking him his whereabouts. Heâd be out drinking with friends, and it wasnât a problem but you just wanted him to at least let you know so wouldnât be worrying to the point that you canât even sleep.
His mother was overbearing. You got pregnant by someoneâs son in a one-night stand and thatâs all she paints you with. You were belittled and told that you canât even take care of the child properly. Hell, was she so eager for Satoru to leave you and find someone better who achieved something in life.
Consequently, this negligence led to fits of jealousy from Satoru. This drove you to quit the job you used to have after a coworker of yours who only wanted to help became the subject of his suspicions. His mother saw you getting dropped off by your friend while she was babysitting your daughter.Â
It was only because your car broke down and you donât want to bother Satoru at work. You couldnât really blame him for thinking that way because you know that heâs been feeling invisible to you which wasnât true. You just donât know how to deal with it anymore and you started to pull yourself away.
It got to the point where you couldnât even communicate how you truly feel about him because it was overshadowed by your problems. You were arrogant enough to tell him that someone could treat you right and do much better and now, look at you; standing before him and his girl. Longing for him and eating the words you spitefully told him.
Pining so intensely for something you never had to the point where you physically ache.
The memory was tormenting, heart-rending, and traumatic to you. And now you get to watch them write their happy ending while you are here, left in the dust, drowning in the feelings that will never ever get recognized and will never ever be relevant.Â
It hasnât even been a year, and heâs already planning to marry her. Heâs been nothing but better to her, yet, he couldnât even change his ways for you and your child? Couldnât he learn to truly love you after everything you endured just to be with him? You know that you have flaws, and chose some wrong steps and paths in your relationship.Â
But you canât bear to lose him like this. You know that you could have fought more for your relationship. Heâd always say that youâd work things out. So, why did he stop? How could he stop choosing you so easily?
âHow could you give her the world, yet refuse me the tiny bit of what I have left?âÂ
Your voice was small as you backed away, defeated. Satoru couldnât move. From everything that has happened that morning, he could tell that youâve been on edge. To Satoru, the only thing that connects you to him is his daughter. He refuses to believe that after all of that, you can still make it work.
At least, thatâs the realization he came about when he met Naomi. She taught him that love isnât supposed to be strenuous, it isnât always about fighting. Within his tumultuous relationship with you, she came around and showed him that heâs seen. That his feelings are valid. He came to the conclusion that maybe he just wanted to love you because you have a child together.Â
âTiny bit?â He asked, frustrated that you just wonât let this go easily, irked that you always think youâre the only one having a hard time. If Satoruâs being honest, heâs just tired of it all. He just wants you to understand his point and get it over with. But now youâre crying in front of him and again, he doesnât know what to do. He canât even think of the right things to say or the right decisions to make. Itâs like itâs all back to square one with you.
âYou call it âtiny bitâ when I couldnât even live my life because of you?! Iâve given everything, Y/N! I just want to be at peace with everything and Iâm obviously not having it with you!â You couldnât even breathe through the piercing ache in your chest from the daggers that are coming out of his mouth. Your hand reached over to your chest, grasping your shirt as his every word irreversibly pulverized your already wounded heart.
âI wish I never met you that night and I wish I never had Yui with you. Youâre a thorn in my side, Y/N!â By the time he finished screaming at you, you were shaking like a leaf, grabbing a chair beside your table as your wide eyes stared at him in shock. Grief, mortification, and agony were plastered on your face, and only then did Satoruâs words sink into him.
âY/N, Iââ Before he could even form a proper phrase, a loud cry erupted from the other room. Yui. He watched as you quickly wiped away your tears, seeing the emotions mix inside your eyes until they turned into a weeping void with all the tears pooling inside them.
âIâŚI loved you, Satoru. And I hate that even now that youâre kicking me while Iâm down for the sake of someone else, I still love you.â The crack in your voice had Satoru subconsciously moving closer to you, opening his arms to pull you into him but you were quick to flinch away, sniveling.
âPlease, justâjust go. Do whatever you want, just d-donât take Yui away. Iâm fine with it now, Satoru.â Itâs almost as though something in you died when he spoke those words to you. You donât know if he heard because you couldnât even hear yourself. You could feel the beat of your heart in your chest and each one of them sends a burning ache to your body. âJust go, please.â You whimpered as you bit your upper lip, looking down on the floor.Â
Satoru canât take his eyes off of your fragile figure as you leaned on the kitchen counter, slowly walking back to your daughterâs room. He remained unmoving until you exited the kitchen area. It was only after a few minutes that he decided to go, not bothering to wipe away the tears that rolled down his face as he listened to your muffled cries behind the closed door.
Each sob was filled with anguish that Satoru knows heâll never be able to erase.
â------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks later have passed yet Satoru still doesnât know what to make of himself. He couldnât focus on anything that he works on. He couldnât even workout properly, he always ends up getting angry. It was a good thing that both he and Naomi were swarmed with tasks; they didnât have time to interact any more than what their jobs would allow. If they did, Satoru isnât sure if heâll be able to focus on her. She still has time to visit every week, though. During those days, she spends her time with Satoru and sometimes, Yui.
He makes sure to free his time and himself completely when heâs with his daughter so he can give his full attention to her. Satoru picks her up from your house, same schedule as before. Sometimes itâs you, but other times, it was your mother. âAll I asked of you was to never break her, Gojo.â were the first words she spoke to him. Satoru canât look her in the eyes. Your mother was a kind woman, humble and unjudging. And to have her talking to him like that, Satoru was beyond ashamed.
He couldnât give her a reason, or an answer. All he did was apologize. Like he should. Naomi was unaware of it all and the proposal that Satoru was planning for her was set aside due to all that had happened. He just doesnât think itâs the right time to plan about it when his relationship with you is strained. Yes, youâre not together anymore but youâre still the mother of his child and he wants to be civil with you, at least.
Yui kept asking for you even when she was with him as if sensing that her Mama was hurting. Sheâs always carrying the new doll that you bought for her. Satoru once asked her if you cry and she would simply shake her head. He gets nothing out of it, of course, sheâs just a kid. But who else could he ask?
Satoru has no idea what you have been doing. He knows that you go to work, but other than that, heâs clueless about the places you go to and why your mother started babysitting his daughter more during the past few days. Satoru thought that maybe you just canât stand seeing him anymore and is refusing to face him whenever he picks his daughter up. You have every right and reason to despise him, after all.
So, now he stands on the other side of your door, wondering if heâll get to see your face this time or be welcomed with the frowning face of your mother. He knocked three times, like he always does, adjusting the collar of his shirt. To his surprise, it wasnât any of the two women he was expecting holding the door open for him.Â
âWho are you?â A shirtless man with a muscular build stood before Satoru, a curious yet accusatory gaze scanned him like he was an intruder in his own womanâs home. He leaned on his tattooed arm against the doorframe, blocking the tiny view he has of the inside. It pissed him off, clenching his jaw for a few seconds before speaking.
âWho are you?â Satoru bit back, raising his brows in an attempt to intimidate the guy. Heâs only a couple of centimeters taller than the stranger but heâs bigger. It wasnât a big deal to him until the man opened the door wider. A short, deep chuckle escaped his lips before a smug smirk appeared on his face.Â
Tilting his head, the man gave Satoru a clear look at the scratches adorning his nape and the purple and maroon marks on his jaw. It made Satoruâs blood boil, unreasonably so.
âThink you know who I am now?âÂ

Hello there! Love your work on the Max Verstappen x reader fiction. If it isn't too much, can I request an angst based on the song " All I wanted was a coffee" by Samantha Ebert? You can decide the ending but, a gut wrenching angst with kelly is appreciated. Thank you!
I hope you like this, I tried to use the song in the way that I saw fit. The reader has many insecurities and bit of mommy issues. Mention of cuts and bleeding.
Part 1 of Do you love me?
I wish you loved me
{Readerâs POV}
Max and I started dating soon after he got out of a really long relationship with his ex. With Max being a Formula One driver; the details of his past were general knowledge, did I wish I didnât know? Yes. Because in the pictures of Max and Kelly, you could see his eyes sparkled and he would smile so bright sometimes and I felt like I never got to know that Max. But every relationship is different; I couldnât compare it, could I?
Max was loving, I mean every boyfriend is. He would sometimes forget important stuff but he was a busy man with an even busier job.
But it hurt when I saw Max with P or Kelly for that matter. His eyes would light up; I just felt like crap every time he met them, but Max never noticed. At the end of the day, Max was always around P while she was growing up, it was a given she missed him, right?
It got worse when Kelly started coming to races and meeting Max. The worst was yet to come; the other girlfriends started to side eye me whenever me and Max would interacted as if Max was Kellyâs boyfriend.
I was in the bathroom when I heard them; they were talking about how Max and Kelly looked cute together, they were the model family, that Max deserved better. Kelly even talked about all the gifts he got her and P recently. I just sat there in the cubical for a very long time.
I waited, I was dumb I know but no oneâs loved me before and the fact that Max was willing to love me even for a moment felt like relief. I didn't want to let him go, I could not when there was a chance he would come back.
I waited like always, Max was always away having dinner with P since she missed him. She missed him a lot ever since we started dating. I never said anything since Max was like her father figure but it hurt.
One of those nights, I was sat drinking whiskey, it was in Maxâs alcohol cabinet. The bottle was almost over. The snacks dried up soon after the third glass. I was sat on the floor, glass in hand when Max walked in. âWorldâs best dad everyoneâ I sang. âHow much did you drink?â He laughed. He laughed at me. âYou know my mother was rightâ I said, trying to get up. âShe wasnât really the best mom, now was sheâ Max commented. âYeah but she was right about a lot of things and she was right about how difficult to love I wasâ I laughed. Max looked at me with sadness in his eyes, âdonât pity me Max.... How could Kelly steal you from me?â I cried. Max said nothing. âNo no sorry sorry, how can something be stolen from me when it was never mine to begin with.â I laughed bitterly taking the last swig from my glass. âThe alcoholâs gone Max, just like your feelings for me or did you ever have them to begin with?â I slurred.
âY/N Iâ Max began. âNo Max, youâre not at fault. Itâs my fault for coming between 2 lovers. You shouldâve told me that you loved her, I wouldâve never dated youâ I cried for the first time tonight in front of Max. As I steadied myself, the whiskey bottle fell and broke, and I tried to pick up the pieces but ended up cutting myself. âHehe look Max Iâm bleedingâ I giggled holding up my hand. âY/N letâs clean that upâ Max said trying to hold my hand. âNO, Kelly wonât like it. Iâm not a home wrecker...or maybe I amâ I laughed bitterly. âLet me help youâ Max pleaded. âYou look at me with so much concern for the first time since we started datingâ I pointed out. Maxâs eyes bore into mine. I tried to walk away but ended up stepping on the glass. âLook Iâm bleeding from my foot now too. At least now people can see that Iâm hurting since Iâll have bandages all over me. My heart ache gets missed every time, you know. Maybe now, they might see my hurt, for onceâ I said with fresh tears forming.
âMothers are always right. Iâm unlovable, always been. If only I was pretty, if only I was a model, if only I was thinner, if only I wasâŚ.Kelly Piquet, then you wouldâve loved me. But Iâm me, Iâm plain old difficult to love, Y/N thatâs why Iâm unlovableâ I chuckled. âLetâs go to the hospitalâ he pleaded again. âNo, Iâll take care of myself. Donât worry about me anymore. Iâll be out of your hair before you know it. Then you can have your happy ever after with Kellyâ I laughed bitterly. âDid you ever love me?â I asked. Max was quiet. âI was just a rebound wasnât I. Tell me you really loved me even for a secondâ I begged. âIâm sorry.â He said.
I grabbed my phone with my other hand while bleeding on to the floor; âdonât worry. Iâll clean your place before I leaveâ I said looking at the trail of blood I was leaving and dialled my phone calling the only person I knew in Monaco, the only person who didnât hate me or talk badly about me, Lewis. âLewis, Hi....I need to go to the hospital. Iâm bleedingâ I giggled. âAre you drunk? How did you hurt your self? Where are you?â He asked concerned. âYes, yes, home no wait, Maxâs homeâ I answered. I heard him sigh. âWhere Max?â He asked. âHeâs hereâ I said looking up at Max. âAsk him to take you now?â Lewis suggested. âNO, we broke up, and ex-boyfriendâs donât take their ex-girlfriendâs to the doctorâ I explained. âWhat?â He asked shocked. âPlease Lewis, it hurts. Can you come soon?â I asked. âIâll be there soonâ Lewis said and cut the call. I sat there and looked at Max, âThe whiskey tasted sweet as always and you sobered me up so fastâ I sighed looking at the mess I had made.
Lewis came to take me to the hospital; he did not speak to Max. I guess even he knew what was going on. I didnât see Max again after that either.

Almost a few days after the stunt, you pulled on the radio with Eddie it didn't take long before word got around on campus. It's all anyone could talk about they wanted to know who the mystery caller was, and Eddie seemed to be cornered more so than usual. As people surrounded him, he wished maybe one of them were you. Hiding amongst the crowd of people.
Anytime a woman called in, his assistant would jump out his skin. He knew he should have shut it down the moment it started, but he trusted Eddie. Now, anytime the phone rings, he instantly goes into a frenzied panic. Eddie just laughs at how over dramatic he was being. He knew if someone called in trying to pull the same stunt as you did, he'd turn them away. He's not gonna tell his assistant that, though. He likes how jumpy and absolutely horrified he gets when there is a female voice on the other end of the line.
You still listened in every show since that night. Almost every time someone called in, they would either want to do what you did or want to talk about you. One thing that pretty much kinda bothered you were some of the girls calling and pretending to be you. Sometimes, you felt like it was bait, and someone was just trying to get the real "Miss caller" to give away her true identity. Much like how tonight was going, if you were tired of it, you can only imagine how he must feel.
"Yeah hi its me calling you back." An unfamiliar female voice spoke.
"Nice try, you don't really sound anything like her, buh-bye." His voice etched with annoyance as he hung up on the fifth woman of the night.
"Anyone want to call in and talk about I' dunno sports?" He sounded absolutely over it.
"I'm fucking desperate over here."
He emitted a long sigh into the mic. "Can someone call in with an embarrassing or some shit?"
You begin to drown out the sound of him talking as he tries to move along the segment.
You felt bad you truly did for what was happening to him now. You don't regret choosing him to help you, but you wish the circumstances were a little different. You hope he didn't hate you for this. You don't think you could live with yourself if he did.
Eddie on the other hand couldn't get you off his mind. You infested it, and no matter how hard he tried to think of over things, you creeped your way back in. He dreamt of you, and every dream was the same. He could hear you speaking to him, but right when he got close enough to reveal who you were, he'd wake up.
He got absolutely chewed out by his boss that following day. His show was close to being taken off the air, but once they saw how much buzz it was getting, they decided against it. He was on thin ice, though, when it came to how raunchy his segment was allowed to get. The conversation made local news in your town, which created more concerns for you.
The thought of someone figuring out how to trace your call back to your home terrified you to no end. Could they even do something like that? You don't know and definitely don't want to find out. Eddie did make a promise to keep you anonymous, but that didn't mean everyone else who worked there did. You try to push the paranoia to the back of your mind and just put all of your focus on school and work. This whole situation should blow over shortly you hoped.
Even with all of the chaos at your campus right now, that still didn't persuade from wanting to go see him play Thursday. Which was perfect timing since your roommate was going out of town that same day. Leaving you to an empty home all to by yourself. Who knows, maybe you'd get lucky and take him home. It was wishful thinking on your part, but still, it could happen.
Little did you know you didn't need to wait that long to see him after all. As you just rang up a customer's coffee order, he was next in line. He was too preoccupied looking at all the coffee options on the menu to see he's the next one to in line. You cleared your throat to get his attention and he looked right at you.
Your heart felt like it was in your throat when his eyes met yours. He looked very good today, making it much harder for you to focus. He had his hair pulled back and wore a oversized black corduroy button-up shirt with black ripped jeans. He gave an apologetic smile for holding you up.
"Uhhh, sorry, I really don't know what this shit means." He laughs, pointing back to the menu above.
Your mouth goes dry, and you try to play it cool.
"Well, what kind of coffee do you usually like?" You asked, trying to forget about who's standing before you. He's just some guy you kept reminding yourself.
He pressed his lips in a thin line, "Well, i usually don't drink coffee. if I did, I guess I wouldn't want it to taste like ass."
"So whatever you suggest."
You giggle and smile, turning to look at the menu as well. "I'd suggest maybe a vanilla latte. It's pretty basic."
"I'll take whatever you tell me to." He holds his hands up in surrender. "I'm putting all my faith in you."
"Wait a minute, are you implying im basic?" His mouth agape throwing a ringed hand over his heart pretending to be offended.
He was toying with you hoping to get you to laugh but instead you panicked.
Swallowing hard." N-no...its just a pretty standard drink to order."
"Hey, it's cool. I'm messing around." He reassured.
"Oh..um okay well then."
You try to regain your composure as your face begins to tingle.
"Okay, and what size? Small, medium, or large? " You asked him, trying to hide the fact that you're rapidly about to lose your mind.
"Oh, I need a large."
You nodded, putting in his order and ringing him up. He stands there a moment too long, and it's making you a little nervous. "Do I know you from somewhere?"
Your eyes grow wide, and you quickly turn to look away.
"Nope." You shook your head.
"You sure? You seem so familiar to me." He bends down on his elbows leaning on the counter. He's trying to examine your face to remember where he knows you from.
"We may have a had a class together at some point." You shrug.
"I mean yeah--but I don't know there is something else." He continued staring while you ran around behind the counter, putting away fresh croissant.
The longer it took for his latte to be finished, the more anxious you got. He wouldn't stop looking at you. You wanted to tell him it's rude to stare, but you don't. He kept trying to make small talk with you, which didn't help your nerves at all. You kept stumbling over your words or clearing your throat because it was getting dry.
You took a breath of fresh air when they finally called his order number. He took his coffee and waited around until you came back. "So, uhh, I don't know if this weird, but you wouldn't be apposed to going on a date with me?"
You blinked twice trying to figure out if you just heard him correctly.
"Come again?" You ask in disbelief.
"Oh, well, I was wondering if I could take you on a date?" He repeated as a small blush creeped along his cheeks.
"Yeah, sure. I mean, I'd love to." You tried to keep your cool, but on the inside, you were jumping for joy.
His smile grows ten times wider when he hears you accept his date. "Great, write down your address and phone number so we can keep in contact."
You nodded and ran to grab a pin and paper, giving him all of the information he needed. He also wrote down his number to give to you as well, just in case you needed to get in touch before your date.
"Cool, how's Friday sound?" He asks, taking the piece of paper you handed him. "Friday sounds great, actually."
"My names Eddie, by the way." He added motioning to himself.
He smiled again, taking a sip of coffee as he began heading for the door. He turns to look at you one last time before leaving. "I'll see you Friday, pretty girl."
"Thanks a latte." He joked, holding up his cup before finally exiting the coffee shop. His face scrunched up with embarrassment as he turned to leave. Why the fuck did I just say that? He thought to himself as he practically chugged down his drink, heading to his first lecture of the day.
You're standing still behind the counter, frozen in place. Did that really just happen? That fast? You started to think someone was pulling a prank on you. Maybe everyone did find out you were the caller and decided to mess with around. No, Eddie doesn't seem like the type of guy who would do something like that, you thought. You just couldn't get over how easy that was, a little too easy.
The week went by way too fast for you, and the closer it got to your date, the more anxious you became. You wanted to tell him so badly it was you who called. Would he even still like you after that? He seemed just as eager to meet you as you wanted to meet him. Doesn't really matter now. You'd tell him eventually anyway. Especially if this date goes well.
You didn't see or hear from him too much during the days leading up to Friday. You figured he was very busy since he still was doing his show on the radio and playing with his band. On top of attending classes, he seemed like he didn't have much free time. Which is why you didn't cancel on him like you were probably going to. After you thought about it for a while, you realized he definitely was making the time to take you out.
Eddie called you a few times to check in and see if you were still willing to go out with him. He'd make small talk to ask how you were and if your classes were going well. He'd crack a joke or two, making you laugh easing your mind of any self doubt you had before.
Now that it was officially Friday evening, you quickly left work early to go home and get ready. He said he'd be come by eight o'clock to pick you up, giving you a few hours to decide what to wear. You searched through each article of clothing hating every single piece. You know deep down he doesn't care about what clothes you're wearing. He asked you out while you were in your work attire. With your coffee stained apron and dumb hat.
Still, you wanted to look nice for him, and you don't get out much as it is. So you opted for just a simple black dress. Dowsing yourself in a sweet perfume and putting on a pair of heels. You pray you don't end up falling and busting your ass in front of him tonight. You were shaved, plucked, and smelt of vanilla and spice.
You were just putting the last touches to your makeup on when you heard a knock at your front door. You did a last mirror check, making sure everything looked well put together. You take a long, deep breath and exhale before you go to open up for him.
When you opened the door to greet him, he was standing there with one hand in his pocket. While the other is holding a bouquet of flowers. He wore a black pullover sweater with the sleeves pulled up to his elbows, revealing his tattooed arms. His dark curly hair loose around his shoulders, and he smelled like mint and tobacco. His smile widened when he saw you for the first time since your last meeting. His dimples on full display, and you couldn't help but melt a little. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks. You don't look too bad, either." You smile, stepping out to stand closer to him. "Nah, I just wanted to impress you."
He blushes, and this is the second time you've seen him do that. He gave a boyish smile and handed you the bouquet of flowers he picked. "These are for you, sweetheart."
"Thank you." You reached out to accept the flowers. "They're beautiful."
There is a moment where you both don't say a word and just stand there gazing at one another.
Eddie cleared his throat. "Shall we?"
You nodded, closing the door behind you and making your way to his van. He walked next to you with a hand on the small of your back. He moved past you quickly to open the door and help you get into the passenger seat. Eddie made his way to the driver side and hopped in no longer after you.
The drive to the restaurant was fairly quiet except for the music playing on Eddie's radio. He humed along, tapping his thumbs on the steering wheel to the beat. You both steal glances here and there when the other isn't looking. Your heart beating a mile a minute.
Eddie seemed calm and collected, but on the inside, he felt just the same. Usually, he was pretty confident around women, but there was something about you that made his heart skip a beat. He doesn't know what it is that pulled him in so quickly. He's not complaining one bit either.
You finally see the restaurant up a head and sigh in relief. He pulled up and parked in the front. He made you wait there while he jumped out of the driver side to jog over to help open up your door. You took his hand and carefully got out while trying not to flash anyone in the process. You wish the dress you finally decided on wasn't so short.
You make your way inside where a hostess greets you both and guides you to a table in the far back. You sit across from one another while she handed you a menu to look over. A waitress soon comes by to ask what drinks you'd like, and you both settle on a Dr pepper.
She returned not too much longer to take your orders and set down your drinks. You and him seemed to be in sync tonight since the both of you ordered a burger with onion rings on the side. Once she took your order, she left, leaving you alone together again.
"So I'm gonna ask a boring question and say what do you enjoy doing for fun?" He playfully asked, taking a sip of his soda.
"Uh, well, I haven't been having much fun lately with work and school taking up my time." You confessed feeling a little embarrassed you don't live an exciting life you imagined he did.
"You don't hang out with friends or go out?" His brows furrowed.
You play around with a piece of paper on the table, avoiding his gaze. "Uh, well, I don't have that many friends here."
"I mostly just keep to myself and stay home a lot." You continued on.
He frowns. "Boyfriends?"
You shake your head, trying not to even think about any of your exes at a time like this.
"You know what? I'm sorry. I shouldn't ask about boyfriends while in the middle of a date." He gave an apologetic smile.
"Hope he doesn't mind sharing you for the night, though." He winked, making you laugh.
He seems to enjoy making you laugh when he notices you're uncomfortable or getting shy.
The waitress finally arrived back with your food, and you didn't hesitate to start eating immediately. He watched you with amusement and started eating right behind you. The longer you both talked, the more relaxed you became.
You were already familiar with him and found a form of comfort when listening to his show. But being alone with him felt different. You never thought this moment would come. You almost wanted to cry, thinking it was just some elaborate dream that you'd soon wake up from. The date was going amazing so far, and you never wanted it to end.
"So, um, how's your show going?" You ask him, not wanting to seem like he was the only one asking the questions.
"It's good..well actually I'm in some trouble, but they'll live. More people are listening in now, so I think the money will shut them up." He openly admited, shoving an onion ring in his mouth.
You raise an eyebrow "in trouble for what?"
You already knew but wanted to hear him say. You kept wondering what he thought about that phone call. Even if it might hurt your feelings, you were dying to know. Your curiosity always got the best of you.
He shakes his head. "Maybe I'll talk about it on our second date."
You giggle, finishing off the last bit of your dinner. "What do you like to do for fun?"
"Well, I play DnD when I have extra free time, I play with my band at the bar by campus." He frowned a little at the mention of his band.
"Sadly, we probably won't be playing much together here very soon." He adds.
Changing the subject quickly, not wanting to bring the mood down. "Girlfriends?"
"No girlfriends."
He eyed you up and down, grinning wide poking his tongue on the inside of his cheek. You swear you could see a little twinkle in his eye.
He leans forward, getting awfully close. " You almost ready to go?"
"Um sure, yeah." You respond a little sadly, not wanting the night to end so soon. He waves for the waitress to bring over the bill. Once he was done paying, you both got back in his vans.
The van ride back to your place wasn't as awkward as before, but there was something electric in the air. There is too much tension between the two of you. It felt like the silence was lingering until one of you decided to make the first move.
He pulls up in front of your home and helps you step out of the passenger side. Both of you walking up to your front door, not speaking. This was your chance to invite him in. You thought to yourself. "I had fun tonight."
"Yeah, me too." He smiled, putting his hands back in pockets.
You look up at him and whisper. " Do you want to come in?"
He paused for a moment, hoping he heard you correctly before answering. "Yeah, I'd love to come in."
You unlock the front door and take his hand, pulling him inside and guiding him to your bedroom.
The moment he was finally in his lips, crashed onto yours in a heated kiss. The kiss was sloppy and passionate as your tongues fought for dominance. Your lipstick smears on his mouth. He breaks away to move down your jaw and nip at your neck right under your ear. He nibbled and sucked at your tender skin, causing your knees to buckle. You grabbed onto his biceps, holding on tightly to keep your balance.
He stops to look at you in your eyes. "You wanna get undressed for me?"
You swallowed hard and nodded.
"Words, pretty girl." His voice is low and husky.
"Yes." You panted.
Eddie reaches around to unzip the back of your dress, letting it pool around your feet. He squates down his face mere inches from your heat. He looks up at you through his long lashes. He kisses your tummy right above the waistband of your panties before reaching to grab your ankle. He brought it forward to unclasp your heel. Your hands grip onto his shoulders, steadying yourself. He tosses the shoe to the side before moving to the next one and doing the same.
He stands up, reaching around your back again, unhooking your bra, and letting it fall to the floor, exposing your breasts. Your nipples harden in the cool air of your bedroom. You watch him as he takes his shirt off, exposing his bare chest to you. You notice tattoos you've never seen before. One of a faded demon on his peck and a black widow right under his clavicle. "Be a good girl and lay back on the bed."
You hesitate for a moment as your mind is already feeling hazy. You turned to slowly make your way up the bed, laying back against your pillows. You watch as he took his boots off and unbuckeld his jeans, letting them hang low on his hips. He seductively crawls his way up until he is hovering above you.
You push on his chest. "Umm....I don't think it's a good idea if we have sex."
He sit back on his knees. "Want me to leave?"
"No, we can do other stuff. I'm just not ready to do that." You confessed.
"Hey, we don't have to do anything you don't want to." He reassured you, bringing a hand to gently cup your cheek.
You let out a shakey breath, feeling a little more comfortable . You were worried he would be mad at you, but he wasn't.
"If you don't like anything I'm doing, don't be afraid to tell me,okay?" He's being sincere, you can tell. He wanted you to feel safe with him.
You nodded again. "Okay, i will."
"Good." He smiled and leaned down to give you another kiss to your lips.
He brought his hips against yours grinding his hard cock against your core. You moan in his mouth when his cock applies pressure to your clit over your panties. He pushes against you harder, causing him to grunt. He moved to lay by your side, pressing his front right up against you. His fingers dance and play with the waistband of your panties. You can feel his prominent buldge pressing against your outer thigh. His calloused fingers slowly slips past the delicate lace. You can feel him brushing past your clit. He carefully glides his middle finger in between your wet fold, collecting your slick on his finger. Ignoring your aching bud in the process.
"Fuck you're so wet." He murmured against your mouth.
He pushes one finger inside your entrance, pumping it agonizingly slow. Your head falls back, giving him the perfect opportunity to attack your neck. He nips and sucks on the skin by your ear. Biting, licking, and sucking while his finger is knuckle deep in your pussy. He adds another stretching you open around his thick fingers. His thumb pressing firmly on your clit. You squeezed your eyes shut and let out gasp.
"Think of my cock pretty girl." He whispered curving his fingers upward.
"Mmm!, s-so good." You whimper.
That's all you could respond with your mind completely gone. All you could do was focus on how he seemed determined to make you feel good. You feel him smile against your neck when where his lips were leaving feather like kisses all over. You clench around him as his fingers start working on that sweet spot on your walls.
"F-fuck." You let out a strangled moan bucking your hips.
He grinds his cock against your thigh. "Feel that?"
"Feel how hard I am for you?"
You look up at him with big doe eyes."y-yes I can feel you."
His picks up the pace, his fingers plunging in and out, making your head spin. Your pussy wet and loud taking his middle and ring finger. The tightness in your core building with each pump of fingers. Your moans getting more pornographic. His warm breath on your neck making you squirm.
"You're such a messy girl. My hand is getting soaked." He purrs in your ear.
He ruts harder against your thigh, violently rocking your bed.
"Can I taste you?" He rasped.
You let out groan. "Please"
You swallow hard as your heart feels like it's beating out of your chest. You're already breathless. A small frown forms on your face when you feel his thick fingers leaving from inside of you.
"Ah ah, no pouting." He wiggled his index finger at you playfully.
No one has ever done this to you before. None of your exes cared about your pleasure they only wanted to get themselves off and then leave you to handle the rest. Eddie was the first man to help you cum and now he's going to be the first man to taste you. All of your ex boyfriends were selfish lovers. Which brought on so many insecurities you've been working hard to overcome. There was a part of you that didn't want him to keep going, but there was another part that was telling you to let go and enjoy it.
He gave you one last deep kiss on your lips before moving and kissing his way down right above your sex. He looked up at you again, and his pupils were blown out with lust. He never breaks eye contact as he slowly drags your panties down your legs. He sits up higher for a moment, admiring your naked body spread out before him. You went to close your legs, but he stopped you. "Let me see you."
Thats all you needed to hear before spreading them wider for him.
He cursed under his breath, closing his eyes, trying not to attack the moment you show yourself to him. "I'm gonna make you feel so fucking good."
He dips down again, his face so close to your pussy now. He hums in approval when he sees how soaked you are for him. Your slick dripping down to the curve of your ass. He kisses the inside of your thighs, testing to see how much you can take before you're begging him for more. It doesn't take long before you're already impatient. He nips and sucks at the soft skin, making you buck up against his face. His nose nudging your throbbing clit.
"Patience, sweetheart." He laughed.
You buck up again, wanting desperately wanting his mouth.
Without warning, you feel his warm tongue licking a long strip between your wet folds. You sucked in a breath, never having felt something like this before. "OOh!,Eddie." You mewled
He pulls you down hard against his face, grunting against you. He sucks and laps at your folds, letting your slick cover his face. You grind against his mouth, throwing your head back against the pillows. Your legs go to squeeze around his head, but his strong hands hold them in place. He takes his tongue to flick across your clit making you wriggle. His mouth attaches to your sensitive bud, and he sucks on it softly. You went to push his head away as the sensation is too much. He removed his mouth, checking see to see if you're okay. "You okay?"
"Why'd you stop?" You whined.
He smiled before reattaching his plump lips to your clit slurping and flicking his tongue over it. He watches as you writhe above him. His eyes never left you as he almost seemed mesmerized by the sight before him. You've never felt this desired by anyone before. Your hips bucking as you grind on his face as he begins sucking harder on your aching clit.
You grip the blankets beneath you. "i-im getting close."
His removes a hand from one of your thighs and carefully pushes one finger inside your entrance. You grab and pull on his hair, making him grunt against you. He adds another finger, curving them upwards to stroke that sweet spot on your walls.
Removing his mouth for a moment "Yeah is my good girl gonna cum?" He asked quickly reattaching his lips to your sore clit. Your backing arching off the bed as you pull on his hair some more.
Your walls pulsating around him as his fingers pump in out of you fast. His mouth sucking on your clit harshly as his fingers plunge deep inside your pussy. The wet noises his mouth is making as his tastes you, mixed with the squelching of your pussy fill the room.
He's lapping away at you, getting lost in your taste, driving you absolutely wild.
"Mmphf! Don't stop." You begged him.
You feel that all too familiar tightness building again, and you clench around his fingers. Your legs are twitcing and trembling. You're breathing harder than before. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as your orgasm washes over you fast, leaving your body to shake. Eddies mouth never letting go of your clit. While his skilled fingers work on your pussy helping you ride out your orgasm.
He removes his mouth and fingers from you tenderly, not wanting to hurt you in any kind of way. His face glistening with your slick and his lips look swollen. He moves to lay next to you on your bed. You're slowly coming down from your high. Your breathing evening out as you come to. You both lay there in silence for a few minutes.
"Can I taste you now?" Your voice sounding small as you asked.
"Fuck." He murmured under his breath.
"Yeah, you can taste me." He whispers back.
Moving to sit back between his legs, you reached to take off his pants off. He helped you by wiggling them down his legs and discarding them to the floor. You notice how painfully hard he is in his boxers, and you lick your lips. Hooking your fingers in the waistband of his boxers and pulling them down. His his cock spring free hitting his belly button. The head an angry red leaking precum down his shaft. He hisses when the cool air hits sensitive his tip. Your eyes widened at the size of him. You now know he was telling the truth. He was big, and you don't know how you're gonna be able to fit all of him in your mouth.
He grabs it, giving it a few light strokes eagerly waiting for your mouth. Precum still dripping alongside it, getting on his hand.
"Don't be shy." His voice low and deep just like how he spoke to you that night on the radio. "I hope you'll let me be inside you one day."
"You'd like that, wouldn't you? He bites his lip, waiting for your response.
"Yes." Your voice barely above a whisper.
His eyebrows raise, and a cocky grin spreads across his face. "You felt so tight taking my fingers. I can only imagine how you must feel when I'm spreading you open."
"Just thinking about you taking my cock. The little noises you'd make as you're begging for more."
He presses his thumb on the leaking slit his mouth forming an O shape at the pressure. The veins along his shaft are prominent from the amount of blood rushing to his cock.
"Making you cry because it feels so good." He's breathing heavier while eyeing you in front of him. He wants to get you worked up until you can't take it anymore. Teasing was his favorite part before anything. He didnt even have to touch anyone before he had them begging to be fucked in some type of way.
He kept going on. The way he was speaking to you brought you right back to the night you called him. You squeeze your thighs tightly together, desperate for any small amount of friction.
"Gonna think about that tight pussy when I'm cuming down your throat." His voice deep and seductive. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
Hes thinking about all the ways he'd fuck you. Imagining what your pretty tits would look like with his cum is dripping down them. Filling you up with his cum and watching it dripping out after removing his cock.
Watching him stroke his cock as he thinks about fucking you makes your pussy flutter. You wonder what he must feel like. The feeling of him stretching you open. You're getting tired of him taunting you. You needed to taste him now.
You smacked his hand away, replacing it with your own, giving it a few more light strokes. You move your thumb to press down on his tip. He grunts and bangs his head back against your headboard. You bend down to give the head of his cock a quick peck. You remove your hand and spit into it as you grasp his thick shaft, rubbing it up and down lazily. His mouth hangs open as relaxes and enjoys what you're doing.
Moving your mouth closer, you kitten licked at his tip, tasting his precum. His thrusts his hips as you continue teasing him like he did to you earlier. You take the opportunity to pull away and spit directly on his cock earning you low groan deep from his chest. You begin to suck on the head of cock. Using your spit mixed with his precum as a lubricant to continue stroking his hard length with your hand.
Gliding your mouth down his length until he's hitting the back of your throat, making you gag a little. You removed your hand, resting them on his thighs. You try relaxing your throat while taking as much of him in your mouth as you can. He wasn't even all the way in, and he's already has you gagging. Tears leaking from your eyes smudging your mascara.
"Oh! fuck!, c-careful, sweetheart." He coaxed you.
Drool spilling down your chin as you try to take more of him in your throat. You attempt to keep him back there and focus on breathing from your nose. Sucking lightly on him, you pull him all the way out and swirl your tongue around his tip. "Hmm! your mouth feels so fucking good."
Your tongue wet and warm teasing the head of his cock. Eddie does everything in his power to not push you back down on his length.
He breathed heavily. "Shit! I-I not gonna last if you keep doing that."
Removing his cock from your mouth, creating a loud pop in his absence.
"you like it when I tease your cock eddie?"You asked in a sultry voice.
You wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.
"Look who's not so shy afterall." He taunted you
You don't know what has come over you suddenly, but having him here in your bed tonight gave you a boost of confidence you never knew you had.
Putting the head of his cock to your mouth sucking it firmly almost forcing him to answer. "Y-yeah I like...I like the way you're teasing me."
You slip his length back down as far he could go in your throat, swallowing around him.
Hearing him like that only spurred you on more. Sucking his cock a little harder than before. Your head bobbing up and down faster. Your other hand moves to cup his balls, and he jerks at the feeling. The sensation of you massaging his balls and your mouth working on his cock practically sends him into a coma of bliss. His abs flexing and his toes curl. His entire body glistened with sweat. "Shit i-im gonna fuck... I'm gonna cum."
"You're gonna make me cum." He panted above you.
With a few more pumps of your hand and mouth sucking harder on his length. You feel his cock twitch and he's shooting his cum deep down your throat. Some spilling out and leaked from the corners of your mouth. He moans out loud and holds your head down until he's finished. You tried to swallow as much of him as you could take. Your mouth not leaving until you're collecting every bit. " S-sweetheart, please."
You let him go with a long string of saliva connecting you to his cock, his cum dripping down your chin. You collect it on your fingertips, bringing it to your mouth, not wanting to waste a drop. Sucking your fingers clean enjoying the salty taste of his cum.
He goes limp as he comes down from his high. His eyes glossed over watching your every move as you lick his cum from your fingers.
You moved to lay back next to him as you wait to see if he will soon leave. His chest rose and fell calmly now, but his head was still foggy. You don't want him to go, but you understand if he does.
"Thank you for tonight" you turn to smile weakly at him.
"No problem." He snorted.
There is a long, drawn-out pause, and you decided it time to tell him your secret.
"Um, I have something to confess to you." You're nervous, and he can tell.
He sit up straight and looks over at you, concern etched on his face. "Yeah? "
"Well, umm, I was the one who called you that night.....on your show." You confessed, looking down, playing with your thumbs.
He blinked, taking in what you just said. Not really sure if he heard you right or if he's still a little dazed.
"Are-- are you serious? " He sounded a little harsh, but he didn't intend to. That night was all he could think about since it happened. You were all he could think about. He lost hours and hours of sleep coming up with different possible scenarios on how he would find you. Who you could possibly be.
"Yeah. Are you mad?" You look over at him, tears threatening to spill from your eyes.
His face softens immediately when he notices. "Are you kidding?"
"I've been thinking about you ever since." He sprang up on his knees with excitement scooting closer to you.
You wipe at your eyes and laugh when he takes your hands into his. The fear that was building up moments ago slowly fading away."Really?"
"Oh, you're definitely not getting rid of me now." He exclaimed.
"So, do you maybe want to go out again?" You shyly asked.
"Fuck yeah I do!" He celebrated clapping his his hands together.
You laughed at his excitement. Making you feel so much better now that you got that off your chest. No one has ever made you feel like this before. You felt like you've known him forever even though you just met in person. "Can I call you... like all the time?"
"Yes, absolutely you can." You giggle.
"Hope you don't mind late night ramblings and bad puns," He advised.
"I love bad puns."
He laid back down next, throwing an arm around you. The both of you stayed like that for the rest of the night. Staying up for hours laughing and telling each other stories about your life. You wish you and him didn't have to ever leave this bed.
Another couple of days have passed, and you really haven't heard much again from him since your date. You were starting to think he was just saying all of that stuff because he thought it was something you wanted to hear. You tried not to think like that and just chalked it up to him being extremely busy because he was.
He did talk about you a little bit on his show but never mentioned you were also the mystery caller everyone has been gossiping about. You listened in biting at your nails when he talked about going on a date with a cutie from the coffee shop across from campus.
Eddie never once talked about hooking up with you, and you're grateful for that. He didn't use your date as a way to have another story for his show. He genuinely wanted to take you out and have a nice time. He didn't hook up for a new story to keep his segment interesting. Most of the girls he was with actually asked him to talk about it. Otherwise, he never would have done it to begin with.
You sat on your bed feet dangling over the side, contemplating if you should just bite the bullet and call first. You don't wanna seem desperate, but you also really want to see him again. He agreed to go on another date with you. Since you haven't heard much else from him, you don't want to come off pushy.
Maybe you should call first? Let him know you're equally as interested in him.
You snatch up the phone and the little piece of paper he gave with his number on it. Putting in the digits and waiting for the dial tone to start ringing. You felt like you were waiting forever, but it's only been a few seconds. You were almost ready to hang up and pretend this never happened until you heard him answer.
"H-hello?" He panted into the phone.
He sounded like he was currently in the middle of something. What that something is you don't know yet.
"Hi, it's me....just wanted to call and check in with you." You spoke softly in the other end.
"Y-yeah, uhh, I'm doing good." He stumbled over his words.
He sounded out of breath, and now you're really hoping you didn't interrupt him. Especially if he has company at his place. The thought of that makes you feel a little sick. You're not dating him and barely even know him. You shouldn't feel this way even if he did have someone over. "I can let you go. You seem a little busy."
"Wait, don't hang up!" He exclaimed.
He ponders for a moment on how he can keep you on the other line.
"Wanna help me...with... something? " he asked with a nervous laugh.
You swallow hard before answering. "What do you need?"
You hear him curse under his breath in your ear. Low grunts can be heard, and it doesn't take long before you can figure out what's going on.
"W--wanna talk to you while I fuck this toy." He breathed heavy.
You go to lay back on your bed playing with the hem of your pajama shorts. You know what he wants you to do. Since he helped you out, you might as well do the same for him. It's only fair, right? The last time you did this, hundreds of people were listening. This time, it's just the two of you. Making the situation more intimate, but it also helps take the edge off.
Eddie was currently balls deep in his fleshlight when you called. He just got out of the shower hair still wet and sticking to his body. All day long, he kept thinking about you. He's been painfully hard and wanted to see if he could come over to your place again but didn't want to be so forward. He didn't want you to think he was using you to get off. He really really liked you and hoped there could be something more between the two of you. So he was going to do what he normally would and take of it himself. That was until you called him, and it sparked a little idea in his brain.
He was leaning back against a wall with one hand on a chair next to him, trying to keep his balance upright. Lube was all over his toy, leaking out onto the soft curls between his legs and balls. He glided the toy up and down his length at a steady pace trying not to cum so soon already. His mind races with vivid thoughts of you.
"What do you think about when you do that?" Your voice coming out so small in his ear.
He smiles to himself. "Well I--was thinking about you."
"Like, what exactly?" You played innocent.
Eddie knows what game you're playing, and he has no problem going along with it. He pulls his cock almost all the way out of the toy only to slam it back down hard causing him to groan loud. His legs almost giving out from under him. He pulled out the chair next to him and plopped down.
Biting his lip to stifle another moan.
"Thinkin' about you squeezing around me." He breathed heavily in your ear. "Wishing this was your pussy instead of some..F-fucking toy."
Sinking his cock back inside making a loud schlick noise you can faintly hear in the phone. Pumping his cock while his other hand runs along his abdomen. He's trying to balance the phone between his shoulder and cheek praying he doesnt drop it. His face and chest flushed a crimson red. He lets out a loud moan when he thrusts upward. "Ooh! Shit!"
"Did I feel good?" You purred into the phone.
"God yes--- so fucking tight. the way you hugged my fingers when i was knuckle deep inside you."
You squeeze your thighs together involuntarily, and you can feel a wetness pool in between your legs. You bite down on your lip hard listening as he fucks himself while talking about you. You want to touch yourself so badly. Your nipples hardening under the sheer thin material of your tank top.
Pumping his cock faster in the toy, lube splashing all over his pelvis and wrist dripping down onto the of floor. He's making a total mess and he doesn't care. He thinks about how messy he could make you.
You interrupt him from his thoughts
"What do you wanna do to me?" You whisper.
"Fuuuck, I wanna do the nastiest things to you." His voice ragged.
Moving the toy up and down his cock as he spoke in the phone, trying to keep It balanced as best he could.
He lets out whimper, "Wanna fill you up with my cum and clean it out of you with my tongue."
"W-wanna..fuuuck...wanna cum all over those pretty tits." He's panting and grunting louder in your ear.
....."Yeah?" You cooed.
"Make you cum in all sorts of ways you never even imagined you could."
He legs kick up, and his stomach tightens. He was getting close but didn't want this to end, not yet.
You're still lying in bed, looking up at your ceiling. You never thought you'd have this burst of confidence yet again, but it's different with him. You don't feel ashamed of anything. The way he's coming undone just by talking to you only made you never want to stop. You felt empowered.
There is a throbbing ache between your legs that you desperately want to take care of. You try to ignore it and put all of your focus on him. You wiggle around clenching up. Doing anything to ease that ache.
"Tell me what you think about you when you touch yourself." He breathed.
"You think of me?"
"Yeah," you muttered quietly.
"So tell me." He commanded gently.
You stammered. "I um, I think about what you would feel like inside me."
"Oh yeah?" His voice getting low.
Goosebumps prickle all over your skin when he does that voice. You squirm in your bed just thinking about that night he used it when he helped you cum over the phone. It was domineering and seductive.
"Mmhm, you're so big." You whimper.
"I don't think I could fit all of you."
"Fuuuck." He groans
"You wanna feel my cock struggling to stretch you open? Is that it?"
You whined into the phone. "Yes, I need it so bad Eddie."
His cock steadily plunging in out of his toy in a brutal pace. He's getting closer to his release, and the phone drops with a loud thud in your ear. His other hand moving to cup his balls mimicking how you massaged them. His hips thrusting up and all you can hear is the squelching sound his cock is making in the toy.
"Oooh shit!" He groaned louder. With a few more strokes and he's spilling his cum inside the toy. Still pumping his length, milking himself of every drop. His cum spilling out and coating his balls. He lays there in the chair, head falling back before realizing he dropped the phone. His head all foggy, and his vision is blury.
He went to get up, but his legs gave out, and he fell back down.
"Shit"
"Fuck"
You heard him cursing from afar. You laughed to yourself, knowing he probably had fallen down.
"Hang on!" He called out
He leans over and reaches out far to snatch up the phone off the floor. His breathing is ragged when he goes to talk. "I've never came that hard in my life."
Smacking a hand on his belly he changes the subject.
"Okay, so what were you originally calling me about? " He asked still panting in the phone.
"Umm, well, I wanted to see if you were still up for going out again....Maybe?" You closed your eyes, waiting for his response.
"Yeah, actually, you know my band is playing Wednesday. Why don't you come see us." He said matter of factly. Like you didn't just help him jerk off on the other line.
You don't understand how one minute he can say some of the most dirtiest things to you and the next be totally nonchalant. All you want to do now is hang up and take care of the ache between your legs.
"I'd love to!" You accept his offer excitement etched in your tone.
He lets out a laugh. "Great, it's a date."
Before you both go to hang up, he stops you.
..."Oh, and thank you for helping me this time." His tone sultry.
Your eyebrows shot up, and you gulp. "No problem--it was fun."
"Goodnight, Eddie." You said sweetly.
"Goodnight, sweetheart."
You both stay on the line, neither one wanting to be the first to hang up. Eventually, you had to hang up first since it seemed like he wasn't going to be the one to do it. You roll over on your side, trying to relax and ready yourself for sleep. Your mind racing with excitement that you're finally going to see him play.
Maybe after your date, Eddie can take you back to his place this time. The ache between your legs was not subsiding. You needed him, and after your date, you decided it was time to have him.

summary: you were a pogue, and now you're a kook. just like how once you were no one's, and now you're rafe cameron's.
author's note: here it is!!! imagine like s1 rafe with the s2 hair, and basically just having a former-pogue girlfriend through out the whole season. i just think rafe would actually be such a good boyf, he just needs someone to settle him down when he gets a lil crazy. follows the sequence of s1 until about 3/4ths down, where i just started making stuff up. you might read this & think no one would act like this.. and that's fine, i know they wouldn't, but this is a self indulgent story for rafe <3 part 2 of the other seasons maybe? enjoy!!
now spinning: black beauty by lana del rey (soooooo rafe coded! he just needs a hug and some pussy!)
word count: 13.5k
warnings/tags: wheeze is a toddler for no reason. reader isn't the biggest fan of the pogues at this point in time. smut: oral (f receiving), fingering, degregation, use of daddy, rafe calls reader kid because <3, lemme know if i forgot something!
âSo thatâs it? Really? Your mom is marrying a Kook and youâre moving across the island⌠just like that?â John B speaks to you as if you had any choice in the matter. You look at him sadly, but youâve cried so much the last few days, itâs hard to find any more tears. Â
You want to tell him, want to explain everything. The way your mom has been so lonely for years, ever since your dad passed away. The way she would pull double-shifts every week just to make sure you had the nice, trendy shoes and hot dinner every night. The way you grew up in the cut but it never felt any different than growing up in figure eight, because she took care of you.
And now it was your turn, to take care of her. Blake Richards was rich, and he wanted to take care of your mom, which meant for the first time in a long time, she would be the one being taken care of. And you owed that to her, you owed that much.
âI-I donât really have a choice, John B. I mean, this is my mom. And sheâs getting her chance to be happy. I canât ruin it for her.â
âYeah, I get all that but, like, does this mean youâre gonna go full-Kook on us? Because I think that would just be disturbing,â JJ says, and you crack a smile, even as you feel a tear spill down your cheek.Â
âI donât think I could ever go full-Kook.â It comes out quietly, a notch above a whisper.
âHey, hey,â you hear Johnâs voice again, as he stands up to get closer to you. You feel embarrassed, the way your cheeks flush and heat up when heâs only a few inches away from you. He wipes the tear away with his thumb. âNo crying, okay? Nothing has to change.â
The way he says it, you almost believe him.
âRight,â you say, still quiet. Thereâs a sob stuck behind your throat, and you donât want the boys to know how upset you really are. Youâve stitched up these boys more times than you can count, set shoulders and bones and nursed bruises for them. âNothing has to change,â you repeat, trying to convince yourself. Everything was about to change, starting with your relationship with them.
And thatâs the one thing you wish could stay the same. Deep down, no matter how many times you were teased and laughed with, there was a part of you, buried away, that thought you would end up with one of these boys one day. Sweet John, funny JJ, smart Pope. Well, maybe not Pope. Youâve seen the way he stares at Kie, even when no one else notices.
But John and JJ, the possibility of being with one of them always lingered in the air. Even when theyâre flirting with tourists or cracking so-called boy jokes that you just wouldnât understand, you always thought they were your endgame.
If only you knew.Â
Pope and Kiara drive up, just as youâre wiping away another tear. Youâre dreading repeating everything to them, shedding more tears.Â
๨ŕ§
âWho is that?â Topper asks, eyeing some girl entering the club. Rafe was getting sick of Topper crying over every pretty girl he saw on the street when he was supposedly dating his sister. He hardly cared about Sarah, daddyâs favorite, but that was his family, and he wouldnât tolerate disrespect to his family.Â
âShe must be fresh meat,â Kelce says, âIâve never seen her before.â
âTourist?â Topper questions. Rafe downs the rest of his drink.Â
âNah, man, see that guy ahead of her? Thatâs Blake Richards. My dad works with him, heâs a big finance guy. Heâs a widower, but I guess not anymore.âÂ
âStep-daughter? Jesus,â Topper says. âItâs like a cheesy porno. But I wouldnât be surprised if he married her mom to tap that, I mean-â
âEnough,â Rafe snaps. âShouldnât you be in a fight with my sister?â Topper blanches.Â
âI mean, look at her Rafe. That is something special,â Kelce says, and then finally, Rafe lifts his head to look at you.
You look⌠confused. Your head is turning, taking in everything about the club, like youâd never been there before. A waiter comes up to your family with tall glasses of water, little pieces of cucumber and lemon floating around in them with ice cubes. Richardsâyour step-fatherâtakes a glass and hands it to a woman who can only be your mother, with the same hair and complexion. Before he can take a glass to hand to you, you take it from the tray yourself, smiling and saying thank you. The waiter, some teenage Pogue, blushes at your affection.
When you start walking, continuing the tour, the waiter turns to look at you walk away, gawking like men do when they see something pretty. Rafe feels an overwhelming urge to punch the kid, and cover you up with his jacket.Â
Youâre not in anything too immodest, compared to what heâs seeing girls at the club walking around in, but it feels like itâs too much for the leering eyes that follow you. Your jean skirt comes down a little less than half-way to your thighs. Your shirt is white, with puffy sleeves and little buttons that tighten around the chest.
He sees a glimpse of cleavage, which makes his chest tighten uncomfortably, not in the way heâs used to when he sees a pretty girl. He wants to take his shirt off his back and slide it onto you, buttoning it up all the way and making sure no one else looks at you the way heâs looking at you right now.
âRafe?â his friend calls, and heâs not sure which one. In your glancing, you turn towards Rafe and you lock eyes for a second. You must have noticed him staring. You probably think heâs crazy, but he doesnât seem to care much at the moment. Your mother must have beckoned you, because you turn away in a second, walking towards the older couple, trailing behind them again.
âBe right back,â he says, leaving a confused Topper and Kelce behind him at the table. He cuts through the tables near the bar, entering the walkway where your family is already, but coming out of the other end. He gets there just in time to run into Richards, whoâs leading the little group.
âHi, Mr. Richards, right?â he says, holding his hand out. âRafe Cameron.â
âOh, Rafe, hi,â the older man replies, shaking his hand. Rafe grips hard, making sure Richards doesnât think he has a wimpy handshake. Otherwise heâs never gonna agree to what Rafe has in mind. âI havenât seen you in years, I mean you were half your height last time I was over at Tannyhill.â
âCrazy, right? Well I just wanted to say hi since I ran into you. Howâs, uh Benny and Brax?âÂ
âI canât believe you remember them, they havenât been to Kildare in years. Theyâre good, yeah, Bennyâs in California now, and Brax is out at law school, at Oxford.â
âOh yeah, international law, right?â
âYeah,â Richards says, smiling wide. âYouâve got quite a memory, son, Iâll have to tell Rafe when I see him.â
âOh yeah, heâs around here somewhere.â Then, he makes his move. He turns his gaze to your mom first. He thinks about it briefly, but if he addresses you before her, your mom will be on guard. He knows how their minds work. âI donât believe weâve met before, Iâm Rafe,â and he shakes your momâs hand, but turns back to Richards for the introductionâsomething else in his little cheat-sheet of rules. Let dad do the talking, so he feels like heâs in control.Â
âRafe, this is my wife, Anna-â
âNice to meet you, Rafe,â your mom smiles at him sweetly, and he smiles back.Â
â-and my step-daughter.â You smile, and hold your hand out. He shakes your hand, gently, and looks at your face, because he can tell the smile is forced. He wonders why.Â
âNice to meet you.â he says, and you smile that forced way again.
âYou too, Rafe.â You let go of his hand, and itâs good, because if he held on any longer, the adults would get suspicious.
âFirst time here?â he questions, still looking at you.
âYes,â your mother answers, laughing, if not a little uncomfortably. âIs it that obvious?â
âNah, itâs a lot to take in, I remember that much.â Richards smiles at him, almost beaming. He knows Rafe has been coming here since he could walk. That means the old man appreciates him trying to comfort his new family. Another step closer.
âIt is,â Anna says, looking at her daughter. She has those worried eyes, the one Wardâs new wife wonât stop looking at him with.Â
âWell, itâs the perfect place to be all summer. I mean, pretty much everyone our age is at the pool or the courts.â At his mention of the both of you, you look up from staring at your shoes quickly to looking right at him. He smiles. You donât smile back.Â
âReally?â Richards asks, still openly friendly.
âI mean yeah, Mister R, I remember Benny on the golf course, like, everyday. And Brax, I mean he practically taught half of us how to swim.â Richards nods and laughs, continuing small talk about his sons. Rafe sneaks another glance at you, and you look back knowingly, like you can smell his intentions from a mile away.Â
âHoney?â your mom asks quietly. âDo you wanna go with Rafe?â
âWhat?â you reply quickly, surprised. You werenât listening, and he tries hard not to laugh.
âWell, I can take you âround, introduce you to everyone. Iâll finish the tour if you and Mrs. Richards are heading up to the course?â He nods at the golf clothes your parents have on, that you are lacking.Â
âI think that sounds great, right, honey?â Anna presses, and after you lock eyes with her, you nod in agreement.
âYeah, sure,â you say quietly. Rafe smiles again.
âGreat, great, yeah. Well, it was great to see you Mister R. Missus R.â
âThank you, Rafe. Kiddo, you can ask for the car to go home when youâre ready, okay? Your mother and I are going to get dinner here.â Anna looks up confused, probably wondering how theyâll get back.
âIâll call someone to bring the car back, honey,â he explains, and your mom smiles.
âI can also take her back,â Rafe interjects. âTannyhill is the same direction, and Iâm headed back anyways. If you wanna leave the car here.â
âReally, Rafe, that would be great, thank you.â You look even angrier than before, but the plastic smile spread over your face doesnât faze them.
âRight, thanks, Blake. Bye mom,â you say, and then lean over to kiss her on the cheek.
You watch them walk away, chewing your cheek and turning back to Rafe with anger splashed all over your pretty features.Â
âI canât believe that worked on them,â you tell him quietly, smiling when your mom turns back to look at you before they turn the corner. Your parents were too gullible sometimes.
âYeah, me either, kid.â
âDonât call me that,â you reply right away. âAnd despite what you think, Iâm not touring this place with you. Iâm probably never coming back here after today.â You start walking away, in the opposite direction of your parents, when he chases behind you.
âYâknow, I donât get you. Every girl your age lounges around here all day, and everyone else wishes they could.â
âWell, you know what they say,â you start, smiling sweetly, though he sees through it again. âIdle hands are the devilâs workshop.â
âReally?â he shrugs. âNever heard that before.â
âYeah, you wouldnât have.âÂ
âCome on, youâre not even giving me a chance. You donât even know me.â You laugh at that.
âYes, I do, Rafe, you just donât recognize me.â You continue your brisk pace, looking for the exit and getting closer. He reaches out to grab your forearm, holding you back for a second. He guides you into the corner, between the hallway where thereâs no one else around.
âYeah, that so?â Rafe is almost caging you in. Heâs so close you can smell his cologne and the scotch on his lips.
âIâm from Kildare, Rafe.â You try to break free of his grip, but it proves even harder than you thought. He holds you in place without even breaking a sweat.
âNo, no, no, because I know every pretty girl in Kildare. And youâve definitely never been here before, so-â
âReally? Even the ones from the cut?â You thought that would be enough to get him to drop your arm, but he doesnât budge.
âHuh. So thatâs why youâve never been here. Old Man Richards married a Pogue and made her daughter into a Kook? Did I get that right?â
âIâm not a Kook,â you say, squirming, because you still donât want to be trapped by him. His cologne smells good, your mind wanders and thinks, like ocean air and sandalwood. You snap out of it at once.
âNot yet, youâre not.âÂ
âIâm not going to be, either. A little money isnât going to change anything for me.â
âYeah, yeah, kid. Thatâs what everyone says, âtil it does.â
âRafe, let go of me, I said let go-â And he does let go, quickly, and your arm falls. Faint red marks appeared when he was holding on, what can only be a bruise tomorrow. Heâs marked you, and youâre not half as angry as you would have thought.Â
âCome on, kid, weâre finishing this tour. I promised,â he says, and the last bit is so mocking, you canât believe mom and Blake fell for his act.Â
He takes you around the entire club, shows you the restaurants, the spa, the pool. At least a handful of girls stare at the two of you walking side by side, but Rafe doesnât look back at anyone. You donât know how to feel about that.
The oldest Cameron isnât a mystery to anyone in Kildare, but you donât know anything about him besides what the boys have told you. JJ hates him, naturally, John doesnât let you look at him in passing, and even Pope can find a few bad things to say. But right now, heâs not doing any of those things you would have expected once he found out you and your mom are from the other side of the island. The crude jokes and gold-digger comments are nowhere to be heard.
But you canât write him off completely yet. After all, this is Rafe Cameron.
He finishes the tour on the golf course, so you can wave to your parents on the course. Youâre sipping on a lemonade through a little pink straw, and he finds it hard to look away when your cheeks hollow to draw up the liquid. Your mom and Blake wave back, and you smileâgenuinelyâfor maybe the third time that morning.Â
âTheyâre good together,â Rafe comments, on the walk back to the front door, where his truck is waiting.Â
âDo you really think that?â you ask quietly. Youâre tired, he can tell, drained from trying so hard to make sure he knows you hate him.Â
âYeah, kid, I do. Heâs been a widower basically my whole life. And he married your mom, so he must really love her.â
You canât tell if heâs just saying it to get on your good side. You hope heâs not. Through all of this, all the crying and the suffering and how much you miss your old life and your friends, if your mom doesnât at least end up happy, itâll all have been for nothing. You feel more tears brewing.
âThanks, Rafe,â you end up saying quietly, as you put on the seat belt in the passenger seat of his truck. His music plays softly in the background of the drive - rap, something you've heard before but can't place - back to Blakeâs house. With your window down, you stare out of it and try to pay attention to the breeze in your hair rather than the entirely overwhelming scent of Rafe, which is all-consuming in his car.
Rafe turns to look at you every few minutes. You look perfectly in place in his car, leaning against the panel with your eyes closed. That means you trust him, even though every word you say makes him think otherwise.
Your eyes flutter open when he puts the car in park, outside the door to your house.Â
âHome sweet home, kid,â you hear his voice in your ear, but he sounds closer than he should be. When you turn to look, heâs leaning over you and so close to you, you feel the heat radiating from his body.Â
âWhatâre you doing?â you ask quickly, heartbeat picking up and rocketing off.Â
âMâjust getting the door for you, kid.â His arm flexes, only an inch or two away from your chest, pulling the handle and swinging open the door. He leans back into his seat, smirking. âWhy, what'd ya think I was gonna do?â
You let out a breath you didnât realize you were holding in and swallow uncomfortably. Your throat feels dry and your palms are suddenly clammy.
âNothing.âÂ
âSure. Whatever you say.â
You climb out of his car, shoes hitting the ground a little too hard. He strains his neck, trying to make sure youâre okay.Â
âThanks for the ride,â you say, not meeting his eyes, closing the door behind you.Â
âAnytime, kid. Iâll be seeing you around.â
You thought he would take over the second the passenger-side door was shut, but he doesnât. He stays and watches you fix your skirt that had ridden-up on the drive, and walk into the front door, glancing behind you, just for a second, before going inside. And then you hear the roar of the engine, only after the door was closed and you were safely inside.
๨ŕ§
You didnât take it literally, that you would be seeing him again. Rafe seems like the type to play with his toys and get bored before long, but true to his word, you see him days later. And to his luck, you were feeling even worse than the first time you met him.
The morning started like any otherâshowering in a bathroom thatâs just yours, and no one elseâs, and attached to your bedroom. You can hardly remember the years when your dad was alive, but after he passed, you and your mom moved into a tiny two-bed, one-bath with your momâs best friend. You were there for the next five years, until she got married and moved out, and it was just the two of you. But even in all the years since, youâve never had your own bathroom until now.Â
You shower as long as you want, whenever you want. Your room is in a completely different hallway than the master, where Blake and your mom sleep. You blast music at night, singing along off-tune from the bathroom, and would stay on the phone for hours with your friends. If anyone answered your calls anymore.Â
Itâs been three weeks since you broke the news to everyone that you were moving. Two weeks since you actually moved. One week since Rafe walked you around the country club and drove you back home, like you belonged to him. In that time, youâve driven down to the Chateau twice, walked by Kieâs house, which is now just a few blocks away, and texted multiple timesâall with no responses. At first you panic, thinking somethingâs happened, but then you realize this was what always happened. When youâre off on an adventure, you donât think about whoâs waiting for you back at home.
Thatâs whatâs running through your mind when you run into Rafe again that day.
You had showered without interruption, taking your time doing your hair up just because you felt like it. There was no work to be done, no chores assigned to you anymore. Breakfast was always prepared when you went downstairs, so you took your time getting ready now.Â
You missed a lot of things about your old life, but the limited time and constant rushing and anxiety were not among them.Â
Your clothes were picked out with the anticipation of seeing your best friends again, your favorite overalls from the thrift storeâwhich had been bought when you were still two sizes too small for them, and had been baggy on you until last year, but they were such a steal your mother refused to let you put them backâand a yellow shirt to match your ratty, yellow converse. They had been washed so many times they were more brown than yellow, but it didnât matter much.Â
This outfit was the old you, and it brought up feelings inside you that nothing in figure eight could change. You wore it because you wouldnât look any different to your friends in this outfit, and for maybe a few hours, you wouldnât be the girl in the fancy house with the country club membership anymore.
âYou look nice, sweetie,â your mom says, when you head downstairs. Sheâs drinking her coffee at the table, your step-dad nowhere to be found. Itâs eleven in the morning and sheâs just woken up too, in her robe and slippers, and you smile, watching her more relaxed than youâve seen in years.
You swing by her side of the table to give her a kiss, and steal a piece of toast from her plate. Youâre relieved she doesnât mention your clothes, not when she keeps offering to take you shopping with Blakeâs money, which you keep refusing, but is getting more tempting every time you step in a puddle in these shoes.
âThanks mom, Iâm going to see the boys and Kie, Iâll be back later, donât wait up!â and with that youâre gone, before you can discern the disapproving look in her eyes.Â
Your junky old car, older than you by several years and still somehow the nicest thing you ownâused to own, a voice chirps in the back of your headâis hidden around several fancy cars in the driveway. Itâs intentional, youâre sure, and likely your motherâs doing. Nothing embarrassed her more than you handing out constant reminders of your old life to everyone around you.
And then youâre on the way to the Chateau, windows down and no music, since there was no way to connect your phone and the radio was busted by Pope a year ago, who claims he was trying to fix it.Â
But itâs what happens when you get there that embarasses you the mostâno oneâs there, and no one will answer your call. You wait around for a half hour, trying to see if they come back, but they donât.Â
And thatâs when it hits you. They were off on their adventures, and you werenât just down the street anymore, which meant you werenât invited. You get back in your car and slam the door, humiliated, tears falling down your face and probably ruining the makeup you had done, stupidly, this morning, because you wanted to look nice for them, like your old self for them. You donât realize until later, after you were done crying, and seen Rafe again, that your friends didnât want to bother you while you were adjusting to your new life.Â
You feel betrayed, and the words that John had told you rattle through your head, because he was wrong. Everything had changed, and nothing would be the same.Â
You take off, heading back home. Thereâs a big storm brewing and your Accord gets dramatic in the rain. Itâs not until you cross the border back into figure eight that you realize two things. One, that you had just thought of your new house as home for the first time. And two, that you had never felt more alone.Â
Thereâs not much to do about either of these feelings, besides stopping for the biggest bowl of ice cream you can reasonably carry back home, and eating it in your room, crying and watching Youâve Got Mail for the hundredth time.
So thatâs what you do, pulling into the ice cream shop closest to home. Your car also doesnât have the greatest functioning air conditioner, and you donât need any more questionable stains in your seats, considering how many times JJ had borrowed it and returned it, promising you itâs nothing and that that spot in the back seat was always there!
In line, tapping your foot, calling your momâs cell. Your eyes are puffy and your nose is red from crying. Sheâs not answering, but the unspoken rule of your little family is to always, always call when youâre getting ice cream in case the other wants something. Youâve only been gone something like two hours, and you canât imagine what sheâs doing that she canât answer your phone. You dial Blakeâs number, hoping he answers instead, and while itâs ringing you realize itâs your turn to order. You havenât even looked at the menu yet.Â
You turn to the people behind you, telling them they can go in front, but when you look up from your phone, you almost drop it.Â
Of course itâs Rafe Cameron behind you. Of course. Who else would it be? Who else would keep catching you at your lowest moments? Heâs with a little girl, who canât be older than four or five, with dark hair and glasses, holding his hand patiently while staring up at you, while you stare at him and he stares back.
âRafe, she said we can go in front,â she says, tugging on the hand sheâs holding.Â
âYeah, Wheeze, I heard. Letâs go order and then thank this nice girl for letting us go ahead, right?â The little girl nods, and follows him up to order. Rafe looks back at you but then your step-dad answers, so you turn away, cheeks heating up. You donât want him to see.
âHi, whatâs going on?â you hear his voice through the phone, sort of staticky and jumbled.Â
âHi, Blake, I just wanted to ask if you and mom wanted ice cream? Iâm at the place⌠yeah, the one near the house.â
âOh, yes, let me ask her, one second-â You hear him put the phone down, or cover the mic, and then, âHoney! Kiddoâs asking if you want ice cream.âÂ
You feel yourself soften a little bit at the nickname. And then you hear your mom and Blake talking back and forth, for what feels like ages. The girl behind the counter looks at you with a glare and you try to look back at her with an apologetic smile, but youâre a little fed-up from the emotional turmoil youâve just endured.Â
âHi, sweetie, Iâm okay, I had some at the club with lunch and twice in a day is just not a good idea-â
âJust get it, who cares? We can have it later tonight too-â
âWhat if the power goes out? Itâll melt, and then itâs just a waste of money-â Crap. You hadnât thought of that.
âWe have generators for that.â Blake picks up the phone again. âHey, kiddo, get your mom her usual and make sure you use the card I gave you, okay?â
You hang up the phone, smiling, and then order. It feels weird, being oddly comforted by someone other than your mom or your friends for once. In your distraction, you donât see Rafe and the little girl hovering near the freezer window that showcases all the ice cream they offer. When youâre reaching for the shiny black Amex, you hear him again.Â
âI got it, kid,â Rafe says, pressing his matching card against the reader and pushing your wrist down and away. He does it so easily, without trying, just like he did in the country club. You look up at him stupidly, brain not registering what he just did and why he did it, and you donât move for a moment. You donât move until he leans down a little, close enough to smell that enticing cologne again but not nearly close enough.Â
âI think the words youâre looking for are âthank youâ. And you should probably get out of the way.â You blink back up at him, and heâs smirking again. You feel kind of stupid, the way heâs talking to you, but you also donât mind as much as you thought you would. The girl behind the counter yells out Next! and thatâs when Rafe takes you by the arm, just above where he had bruised you, and moves you away himself.
âYou okay, kid?â he asks, and you feel yourself melt like ice cream left in your car for too long. You donât know if he really means it, or if he really cares, but you do know Rafe Cameron needs to stop talking to you like he likes you, or youâre going to be in trouble.
âFine, yeah. Thanks, uh, thanks for the ice cream.â Youâre still blinking slowly, stupidly, stuck in a daze. You should really get it together around him. Itâs a little pathetic if a strong grip and a couple of nice actions gets you acting like this. Thatâs a problem for another day right now.
âIs she okay, Rafe?â the little girl asks quietly from beside him.Â
âNo idea, Wheezie. Why donât you sit and eat your ice cream?â he replies, and she sits down a few tables away, beginning to shovel chocolate ice cream with a tiny wooden spoon.
âHey,â he says, and you begin to snap out of it. Itâs raining outside now. You hear the pitter-patter of the drops on the roof. âAre you okay?â
âYeah, yes. I am. I just had a bad morning. Sorry.â But you donât know what youâre apologizing for.
âWell, are you gonna talk about it and shit? âCause I donât know you that well yet but youâre kinda freaking me out right now.â
âI-IâŚI just-â
âYou, you, you just?â he mocks, and then when tears fill your pretty eyes and he sees one slip down your face, his own eyes panic briefly. âHey, hey, I was just joking, kid-â He pulls out a colorful chair for you, and sits you down next to Wheezie, who is still eating ice cream at an alarming rate. Your ice cream is ready at the counter, and he brings it down next to you, holding his own strawberry cone in his hand.Â
âHold this for me Wheeze,â he says, not really asking, and the little girl shakes her head right away.
âHowâm I gonna eat mine then?âÂ
âWheezie,â Rafe says, in a voice that you havenât heard him use beforeâand then you realize how stupid you sound. Youâve talked with him twice, you donât know anything about the voices he uses or how he sounds when heâs talking to this girl who can only be his little sister.Â
âCan I have some?â Wheezie propositions back, and Rafe nods. âOkay!â she says, taking a bite of the scoop with her front teeth.
âSo, yâgonna tell me whatâs going on or am I gonna have to guess everything?âÂ
âMy friends, I just keep missing them, or they keep missing me, maybe. I just wanted to see them. Itâs really lonely here, thatâs all.â Youâre staring into his eyes, his really, really blue eyes that are currently a little alarmed and concerned, and the fact that theyâre that way for you is making you a little dizzy.Â
âYeah, I get that. Sorry, kid, thatâs the lay of the land, right? Not a Pogue anymore, are you?âÂ
âI donât know what I am.â You feel silly and embarrassed for pouring your heart out over ice cream with Rafe Cameron. He doesnât know you, and he never will.
âWell, right now you have a choice. You can sit here and eat ice cream with us, or you can go home and cry about it alone. But if you choose the second one, Richards and Anna will see you, or hear you, and ask about it. And Iâm not gonna keep asking if you donât wanna talk. So pick one before this shi-stuff melts, okay?âÂ
You nod dumbly again. Youâd like to turn your brain off and let Rafe decide for you.Â
âI need a spoon.â He smiles, not smirks, for a second, before getting up to get you a spoon.
A few things float through your mind while you eat ice cream with the Camerons. First, Rafe remembers your momâs name. Second, Rafe doesnât swear in front of his kid sister. And third, and most important of all, Rafe Cameron cares about you.
âThatâs a lot of ice cream,â Wheeze, or ratherâas youâve just learnedâWheezie, comments.
âI was feeling really sad,â you reply, shoving another spoonful into your mouth, watching the little girl eye your peanut and chocolate ice cream inquisitively. âYouâll understand someday.â
âBoy problems?â she asks, and you canât help but crack a smile. Rafe looks up from his phone momentarilyÂ
âNot really, but a good guess. This would also apply to that situation.â
âMy sisterâs always got boy problems.â
âReally?â you ask, and then look up Rafe. âYou have another sister?â
âYes,â he says, in between licks of strawberry ice cream. You should really look away when he does that, because your heart rate is picking up. âAnd sheâs even more annoying than this one.â
You laugh while Wheezie frowns.
âIf Iâm so annoying, why do you always take me for ice cream, huh?â
âSheâs got you there, Rafe,â and you resist the urge to look at him, even when you can feel his eyes on you.Â
âBecause you wouldnât stop asking, dork, thatâs why.â Wheezie shrugs in reply.
âIâm not gonna finish all of this. You want some, Wheezie?â you ask, offering her your spoon. She looks back at you smiling, and then at Rafe for permission, who nods.
She digs into the pile left, while you finally give into the urge to look up at her brother again. He takes another lick of his ice cream and you look away within a second.Â
âBeen eating that for a while, havenât you, Rafe?â
âYeah.âÂ
Somewhere in between Wheezie eating so much of the ice cream so quickly that she gets a brain freeze, and Rafe finally tossing his half-eaten cone into the trash, itâs time to go home. And as much as you hate to admit it, you donât want to leave. The rain is coming down hard outside, a preview of the impending hurricane.
âDrive here, kid?â he asks, as your feet hesitate by the door.Â
âNo,â Wheezie answers, âI came here with you, dork.â
âNot talking to you, kid,â he replies, rustling the top of her hair with his hand, getting an ugh, Rafe, in response.
âYeah. Yes, I drove here. But my car doesnât do so good in the rain.â
âHuh?â he questions.
âItâs old, okay. Junky. The AC is broken. And the radio. Sometimes she just stops, yâknow?â You gesture to your blue car parked out front, the rusty, tiny sedan two spots down from his shiny truck.
âNo, I donât know. Richards lets you drive around in that thing?â
âShe.â
âItâs a car. Barely, at that.â
âShe has a name, okay. HoHo. Thatâs her name.â
âAlright, well, youâre gonna have to ditch the hoe, because I canât let you drive home in a hurricane in⌠that.â You turn to glare at him. âHer, sorry.â
Thatâs how you end up soaking wet in the passenger seat of Rafeâs truck, Wheezie secured in her booster seat and Rafe even wetter than you are. He drops you home and says the two of you can go pick up your car tomorrowâif itâs still there, he adds at the end, leaning over you again to open your door. You stare at him dumbly again, which has now become a bad habit, and itâs not until Wheezie says youâre getting her wet in the back that you finally climb out and close the door. You stand behind the front door with your momâs melted ice cream in one hand, and your phone with Rafeâs contact saved in the other, wondering what exactly just happened.Â
๨ŕ§
The next few weeks pass through as quickly as they came. Your carâto your chagrin and your motherâs joyâdoes not survive the hurricane. Blake gives you a fancy, luxury car to drive around in that he just had laying around, which you donât believe for one second. But, your mom is pleased when you actually start driving it, and you can actually listen to music from your phone and enjoy air conditioning and the most luxurious of luxuriesâa backup camera.Â
The night of the ice cream shop incident, Rafe texts you. You were completely ready to wallow in bed, waiting for the text from him that never comes, drowning your sorrow in more ice cream, but he does text you. First and right away.Â
R: Is it wrong if I hope hoho drowns tonight?
thatâs so mean. she never did anything to you.
R: Sheâs kinda ugly. And what was that about no ac?
so she deserves death????
R: The impound lot at the very least
if she dies, itâll be because YOU manifested it
R: Never thought Iâd believe in that manifesting shit, but here we are
did Wheezie eat dinner after how much ice cream you let her inhale?
R: No.
R: Ur fault. You gave her yours
you gave her yours too
and btw, I offered her a bite. she ate the rest. not my fault
R: Sheâs five, genius
R: Iâll come around noon tomorrow. Sleep tight kid
๨ŕ§
Somewhere in between picking up your carâwhich entailed no less than stopping for lunch, even more ice cream that you canât stand to watch him eat, and driving through town to see how bad the damage from hurricane Agatha was, and altogether three hours together ending with a wet, heated kiss in his truck with the windows fogged upâand today, youâve been with Rafe more times than you can count.Â
And you try hard to suppress the thought that itâs just because heâs available, that the availability is the reason for your attraction. And then you catch yourself trying to justify why you want to see Rafe so much, this guy that you had just been assuming was bad because your friends told you he was bad, without much in the way of an explanation.Â
But Rafe is the furthest thing from bad. Heâs so sweet to you it makes you delirious. He picks you up all the time, even when you tell him youâre just at home, and your car is right there. He pays for everything, he opens every door, the gentle but teasing way he is with Wheezie makes you even more head over heels.
But most important of all, he calls you first. He texts you first. He makes you feel wanted, and you definitely, definitely, want him, so you donât think twice before saying yes to accompanying him to Midsummers.Â
You actually donât know what it really is, besides for a big party. It was always one of the worst nights at the hospitalâlitters of teens with alcohol poisoning and from car accidentsâ so your mom would be working. When you turned eighteen, your mom paid for classes to become a junior nurse, and so busy nights like the one of Midsummers usually was, you would get called in too. So before this week, youâd never spent Midsummers doing anything other than cleaning wounds and fetching suture kits.
You tell Rafe this and he looks at you strangely, another of his looks you hadnât seen before, with furrowed brows, and you flush and apologize, regretting even opening your mouth.Â
You know youâre deeper than you thought when he takes your head between his hands and kisses youâmessy, with tongue and spit left glimmering over your mouth, so much so that he wipes the corner of your mouth with his thumb when heâs done.Â
âGo get yourself a pretty dress, and weâll have fun, yeah?â You nod stupidly again, the way youâre prone to doing around him. He must have realized you get a kick out being told what to do by him, what to worry about and what to focus on.Â
You finally take your mom up on the offer to go shopping. Her and your step-dad are going to this thing anyways, but you can tell she wasnât completely sure youâd go to something so Kook-y, maybe not just yet, and she doesnât want to push it since your mood finally seems to have picked up. But then you tell her Rafe asked you to go with him, and the two of you smile and jump around the living room, laughing like kids. Sheâs happy for you and youâre happy that the two of you are happy at the same time.
Rafe sends you money for a dressâenough money to pay for a monthâs rent at your old place. Your mom says your step-dad insists on paying. You feel like things are coming together for the first time.
You wander the stores, trying on different dresses and feeling like a scene out of a movie until you finally find the perfect blue dress. Blue for Rafeâs eyes and his suit jacket, because youâre not embarrassed to admit to him that you want to match for Midsummers. Itâs patterned with little flowers, ruffles and lace moving in the wind when you twirl, and for once, you stop feeling like you need to pick a side to be onâPogue or Kookâand you decide just to be Rafeâs for now.
The night of the party, Rafe offers to pick you up, but you tell him youâll come with your parents. Theyâre both wearing shades of peach and salmon, the three of you together look like youâre headed to a baby shower, which you and your mom laugh about in the car ride there.Â
You text Rafe to let him know youâre there, and tell your parents youâre going to walk around to find him. When you glance back, theyâre talking with some of Blakeâs friends, people he had invited to the wedding.
You see, what you can only think, is a glimpse of Pope, in his usual waiter get up, but he disappears before you can see where he was. His father is still there, though, and you make your way through the crowd to get near him.
âHi, Mr. Heyward,â you say, smiling and unsure if heâll recognize you. You donât think heâs ever seen you in anything but your overalls or scrubs.Â
âHow can I help yo-wait, is that you, well Iâll be damned. Youâre blending right in, arenât ya?â
âWell, it took long enough.â You suddenly feel embarrassed, because he knows the old you, the one who wouldnât be here in a million years. âDo you know where Pope is? I thought I saw him, I just wanted to say hi.â
âHe just went off that way, but if you see him, tell him I still need his help over here, just like I did before he walked awayââ
âCan I help with anything?â you ask quickly, but he shakes his head and tells you the direction Pope went in.
You follow it generally, trying to see where he could have gone in such a short time. But then you see all of them, and you canât stop your feet from running over. Kie, JJ, and Pope, all standing and talking about something, but you donât really care about interrupting. Kieâs all dressed up too, and you suddenly donât feel so embarrassed.
âYou guys,â you feel yourself gushing. âItâs been so long,â and you go in for a hug with each of them.Â
âWow, god, you look so pretty,â Kie says, and you hug her again. You donât realize how much you missed her.Â
âYou too, Kie,â your smile is so wide it starts to hurt. âIsnât this so weird, all of us here at this party? Whereâs John B?â you ask, looking around.Â
âSo weird,â JJ says, and you notice the bruise around his right eye because heâs turning to look at Kie again.Â
âJJ, what the hell happened to your face?â JJ doesnât answer, he actually doesnât say anything at all, which should have been your first sign that something was wrong. You look at him quizzically, before turning to Pope.
âPope, your dadâs looking for you, I just went over to say hi-â
âOh crap,â he says, heading back in the direction you just came from. âSorry, be right back.â
âW-what the hell is going on?â you question Kie and JJ, searching for any answer, desperately hoping that it isnât we donât wanna tell you. Your phone goes off, twice, and you pick it up. The look on your face must have been beyond palpable to your friends.
Rđ§¸ŕžŕ˝˛: Come inside the house
Rđ§¸ŕžŕ˝˛: Got a surprise for you
âI-I gotta go inside,â you say, looking at the confused faces of your friends.
âWhatâs inside? I thought-â
âNo, nothing, I donât know, Rafe just asked me to go inside, and I havenât even seen him yet-â
âRafe? What, Rafe Cameron?â
âY-yeah?â
âWhat are you, with him, or something?â JJ asks, and you feel your heart fall into your stomach.
âI-I yeah, maybe. Iâm here with him tonight, he-â Your phone goes off again. âIâm sorry, I have to go find him, but Iâll come find you guys right after, okay?â
You leave the two of them there, looking at each other confused, looking at you like they donât recognize you. And it stings, for a moment, until you get inside the mansion and find Rafe hanging out by the entrance, nursing a glass of scotch and eyes lighting up when they see you.Â
Everything with him is like that scene from that movie. Lights go dim, you walk in slow-motion, the room goes quiet. He watches you walk up to him and his eyes take in everythingâyour pretty hair, your dolled up face, the way your dress moves when you walk, and most of all, that youâre here with him. He reaches his hand out to grab you by the waist to bring you in for a kiss. Itâs not like the others, itâs chaste and soft and romantic.Â
âHi,â you breathe out, resting your forehead against his.
âHi, kid. You look fantastic,â and he presses another sweet kiss to your temple.Â
âWeâre matching,â you say with a smile, taking in his blue suit jacket and the way you feel dizzy right now, and you feel his grip tighten around your waist.Â
âYeah, we are. Now get in line with me, weâre walking out together.â Your eyes are big like coins, because you understood that you were coming here together, but this is his familyâs big night, if everything your mom and Blake told you was to be taken seriously.
You donât have time to say anything, because Rafeâs nice parents line up ahead of you, and his two sisters behind you. Wheezie tugs on your dress and you turn to greet her and Sarah quickly, because then the doors open and youâre walking out, following Rafeâs lead, lots and lots of eyes on you, but only one pair of blue ones you really care about.Â
You almost want to cry, the whole thing is so magical. You have a flute of champagne and a sip of Rafeâs scotch, and you are deliciously tipsy for the next two hours. Your parents come over to talk to you and Rafe, and you can see how happy your mom is in her eyes. You and Rafe dance until your feet hurt, and itâs only then, when he leaves your sight, that things seem to get back down to how they normally are.Â
You canât find Wheezieâs parents or Sarah anywhere. The little girl spilled ice cream on her dress and is crying quietly, fat tears rolling down her chubby cheeks. You want to get her parents, because you think they can help, but you end up taking her to the bathroom yourself. With a damp paper towel, you wipe as much as you can, and you promise to get her another ice cream if she stops crying.
âItâs just a stain, honey, donât worry.â You toss the dirty tissue and grab another one, wiping the tears and then letting her blow her nose. âItâll come out when you wash it. And no one will notice because itâs so dark now, right?â She nods in agreement. âDo you wanna go find your big brother?â Another sad nod. âLetâs go honey,â and you take her hand and lead her back out.Â
Youâre not entirely sure what you missed in the last fifteen minutes. Everyoneâs gone quiet, staring at what you hope is a trick of your eyesâall of your friends running from the party, hooting and hollering. Kiaraâs parents look hopelessly upset, Mr. Heyward downright disappointed, and your mom scanning the crowd, trying to see where you are, until she spots you and Wheezie.
Her and Mrs. Cameron come running over, and you instinctively flinch, thinking the giant headpiece sheâs wearing will poke you. You hand off Wheezie and turn to look at your friends, and you think, for a second, theyâre waiting for you. They are, you realize slowly, waiting for you.
And you almost take off right then and there, until you feel Rafeâs warm hand on your shoulder, and you look up to see him bleeding.
At that moment, you turn right back around and head inside to the nearest room, sitting Rafe down on the bed and scrambling to find something to clean his wound with, and something cold to help the swelling, and in your panic, you donât realize youâre rambling.
âI mean, what the hell was all of that? I turn around for two seconds and everyoneâs running from the party like thereâs a fire, and destroying things and throwing punches, I mean, I get they hate the whole Kook thing, but it was never like this before, even when I didnât know you yet, and I-â you drop the frozen bag of peas onto the floor in your sudden realization. âI just let them leave. They waited for me. I didnât go with them.â Your eyes fill with years. Thatâs a betrayal, not all the stupid stuff you thought was happening before tonight. They waited for you, and you turned right back around to go inside with Rafe.
âHey, hey hey,â Rafe says quietly, taking your head in his hands again. âHey, itâs gonna be okay.â
âYouâre bleeding, Rafe,â you say, voice trembling. Your tears are ruining your makeup.Â
âIâm gonna be fine. You know why?â he asks, and you feel more tears rush down. âHey, hey, no crying.â Rafe wipes away the tears with his hand, then he brings his hands to your back and rubs soothingly. âYou know why, kid?â âWhy?â it comes out a whisper.
âBecause you chose me. Weâre gonna be fine, okay?âÂ
The way he says it you believe him.Â
You spend the next two days at Tannyhill with Rafe, wearing nothing but his t-shirts and doing nothing but rolling around in bed. Itâs been a month, maybe a little bit more, and you havenât even had the talk yetâthe sex talk. Thereâs no doubt in your mind that heâs not ready for it, but youâre not ready for it, not yet. Youâre working on it. He doesnât make it easy for you, either. Youâve spent hours now, making out in his lap, grinding against each other until you make a mess all over his shorts and his hair is sticking up in every direction, and working your way up to telling him what you want.Â
Youâre almost there. Youâre waiting for the perfect time. Which was almost right now.
âYou like that? Shit-â he breathes into your ear, pressing a kiss to the tender skin of your neck right underneath. It makes you moan again, louder, until he clamps a handâthe one not three fingers deep inside your leaking pussyâover your mouth, barricading the noise from leaving. âGotta be quiet, kid, you want the whole house hearinâ what a little slut you are?âÂ
His blue eyes, lustful and blown, stare into your own. You shake your head softly underneath the tight grip of his palm. Youâre always obedient with him, but he really likes you like this.Â
âYeah? You gonna do whatever daddy tells you? Just so I keep my fingers in this tight pussy?â You nod compliantly, head falling back on to the pillow. His fingers are thick, and the cool of his ring rubs against your clit in the best way, in ways you didnât even realize it could feel.
He keeps fucking three fingers in and out of you, moans muffled by his hand but not completely silenced. You must be making a mess, because itâs what he keeps talking about, rambling about your messy cunt, greedy and sucking him in, and how youâve been cumming for him like a little princess for the last two days, but itâs never enough for you.Â
Itâs when he removes his hand and kisses you hard instead, tongue deep inside you mouth, the metal of his chain dangling on your chin, and you feel the similarly cool metal of his ring on you, you finish again, exploding around your boyfriendâs fingers and moaning into his mouth. He hears you, repeating his name over and over again, not Rafe, but rather daddy, and he swallows your chants into his mouth. When you calm down, he makes a show of licking his fingers off while locking eyes, and then you get flustered and bury your head into his neck.Â
He laughs, because itâs so cute, but only for a minute. Then you two shower together and he makes another show, but this time out of you, kneeling on the floor of his tub while he paints your face with his cum, making sure to cover the necklace youâve been wearing recently too, the silver, loopy little R hanging between your collarbone.Â
Then you get dressedâa little pink dress thatâs been his favorite recently, with buttons down the front and a pretty bow where your tits sitâ and the two of you have lunch with his family like nothing ever happened.
Rafe drops you back at home later that day, gives you a kiss where he grabs the back of your head to bring you in, and then waves bye to your parents as he unlatches the door for you, in his usual way.Â
๨ŕ§
A week later, he does the same thing. Drops you off, drives away once youâre inside, and youâre starstruck walking back, so much so, you donât realize thereâs someone waiting for you.
Itâs Kie, and Rafeâs sister, Sarah. Youâre a little confused since you thought the two of them didnât get
along, but they look like theyâre fine now.
âHey, listen, we need you to help us. Can you come down to the Chateau later tonight, after sunset?â Kie asks, and you must look as confused as you feel, because Sarah speaks right away, before you can get a word out.
âYou cannot tell my brother. Promise us you wonât.â
âWhy are you asking me that? Why canât I tell him?â Sarah and Kie exchange a look, and itâs clear to you that you are missing several pieces of the puzzle. âGuys! Come on, you-you canât expect me to just be on board with lying to my boyfriend and showing up to help you guys without knowing what it even is, right? Whatâs going on?â
âWe will explain everything, just please promise us that youâll come,â Kie implores and you nod hesitantly.Â
âAnd you wonât tell Rafe?â Sarah asks again.
âCome on. Pogues for life, right?â Kie says, and you get a flashback to your life two months
agoâdoing anything for your friends and dreaming of how youâd end up with one of the boys someday. It all seems like a million years ago.
âYes, yeah, yeah, Iâll be there. I wonât tell him.â
You guess that God was on your side today.Â
Rđ§¸ŕžŕ˝˛: Hey kid. Busy with my dad today. Dinner tomorrow okay?
sounds perfect!! donât work too hard! i'm gonna watch a movie with my mom and blake and stay in tn
Rđ§¸ŕžŕ˝˛: You got mail again?
you know me so well
Rđ§¸ŕžŕ˝˛: Have fun princess.
You set down your phone on your dresser, feeling like you could throw up your dinner. Itâs just starting to get dark outside, and youâve just lied to Rafe for the first time since youâve met him. It feels terrible, like somethingâs gnawing inside you, begging you to come clean and confess, or not to go out at all. You think about it for a moment, maybe if he knows youâre with some of your old friends, it wonât be like a real lie.
Then you remember your old friends are the ones who punched him. You tell your mom youâre going to Rafeâs, and then you get in your fancy car that Rafe helped you christen the other dayâin the backseat, specificallyâand drive to your old life.
You park next to the Twinkie and get out, stepping into a slush of mud. Your shoes are new, and were clean, and you cringe internally at how much you started caring about these things. You donât want Rafe to see you with dirty shoes.
The boys and Kie are sitting on the logs near the fire pit. Sarah is sitting right next to John B, looking at him how you look at Rafe, and then you realize the magnitude of just how much youâve missed.
âHey,â Kie says, looking up first, smiling. âYou came.â
âYeah.â Youâre at a loss for words. Everyone looks the same. Everything feels so different.
A part of you wants to sink down between Pope and JJ, crack a beer, and laugh at jokes you think you would still understand. Another part wants to get into the fancy car and drive to Tannyhill. You opt for neither, standing a few yards away and letting the light from the fire cast its hazy glow over you and all your old friends.
âDid you tell him?â Sarah asks. She means it well, not in a rude way, but thatâs how you feel.Â
âNo, no, I didnât. He, he thinks Iâm at home. With my mom and Blake.â
âAlright,â JJ says, tossing his empty beer can. âLetâs get this show on the road.â
âListen,â John B says, getting up and sounding too sincere for your liking. âWe all appreciate you coming. Because we need a favor from you, and it might not be easy.â
âI mean, I think itâs gonna be pretty easy. Unless Rafe is like, really, really crazy, like even crazier than we already know he is-â JJ says, but stops when Kie and Pope shake their heads. âWhat? She knows, sheâs the one dating him.â
âKnow what? I donât even know what you want from me-â
âWe need a distraction. For Rafe, okay?â John B starts.
âAn hour, okay, thatâs all we need, right guys?â Sarah asks, looking back at everyone. They nod, trying to convince you, except Jayj.
âWell, like, maybe a couple of hours. If heâs up to that, yâknow, I donât wanna assume shit âbout stamina and all that-â
âJJ,â Pope says, shoving the blondâs arm. âYouâre not helping.â
âWhat?â you breathe out, even more confused than before. You start to get what theyâre asking, you just donât want to admit it.
âWe need to distract Rafe, for an hour, or like two hours, and we figured youâre our best bet.â John B says, and you look at them with your mouth falling open a little.
âYou want me toâŚsleep with my boyfriend, to distract him, so you guys can do something that you wonât tell me about?â
âKind of, yeah. Pretty much.â
âAnd is, is this thing going to hurt him in the long run? Is he going to be upset? When he finds out what happened?â
âMy Kook feelings radar is a little off, right now, but who knows, I mean hell, he might not ever find out,â JJ says, and you want to sit down, because your knees feel weak, but the ground is muddy and the logs are occupied. âIf we do our job right, he wonât know for a long, long time, right guys?â A chorus of right, right rings around the fire.Â
âAnd youâre not gonna tell me what this is about at all?âÂ
âWell, it might not be a good idea. Because, youâre dating him, and listen, we just need like an hour, and he never has to know you were a part of this, okay? I will never tell him, none of us will,â Sarah says, and you do believe her. But you canât believe that theyâre asking you to do this.
âAnd if he finds out, and he breaks up with me, then what?âÂ
âYeah, I, uh, knew this was a bad idea. Sheâs not gonna do it, guys, so letâs just reformulate-â
âOh, you knew I was gonna say no, JJ? Lying to my boyfriend? For the people who hurt him?â
âHe hurt us too, yâknow,â Pope says, and you feel your heart begin to race.Â
âNo, I donât know, because no one tells me anything! No one answers their phone and no oneâs here when I drive down. Kie, you live two streets away from me now. The first time I saw you all month was at Midsummers and then, today. Asking me to come here to lie to Rafe, to sleep with him to distract him.â
âNo, no, we shouldnât have asked you, because I knew you would say no, I told them-â and you canât believe the words coming from your friend's mouth. âLook at you, you went total Kook on us.âÂ
And then you feel like theyâre taking it all in. The R around your neck, the jewelry that sparkles in the light of the fire, all yellow citrine, for Rafeâs birth month. The pink dress thatâs his favoriteâyou put it on this morning in case you ended up back at Tannyhill tonight. And worst of all, his white button up hanging from your shoulders, smelling like ocean and sandalwood and Rafe Cameron.Â
âItâs like you belong to him now.â You feel a tear sliding down, but you wipe it away.Â
âMaybe thatâs because he was actually there for me, when I needed it. And I get it, maybe I should have tried harder. But you guys should have too.â
The group of you stand there in silence for a moment. Your phone goes off. You know itâs Rafe. They know it is too. It starts with Kie, and then a course of apologies from everyone. John B wipes away your tears like nothing has changed. JJ scratches his head, and then hugs you tighter than he ever has before. Pope tells you how much heâs missed you, how he had to start bandaging wounds in your absence.Â
âIâll distract him. An hour, thatâs all you get. Iâm not sleeping with him because you guys want me to, okay? So if he leaves, he leaves.âÂ
You take off for Tannyhill, leaving your old life behind and risking your new one all at once.
๨ŕ§
Rafeâs phone goes off again, and he lets out a short, tight breath.Â
Princess: are you still busy at home? i need you
Princess: please rafey
âIâll be back,â he tells Ward, and before he can even respond, heâs out of the room, calling you. The line rings twice, and then you answer.
âRafey?â you sound quiet, like youâve been crying.
âHey, hey kid. Whatâs going on? I told you I was working tonight,â and then he runs a hand through his hair, because he knows heâs fucked, if youâre crying and you need him, then heâs going.
âI know, Rafe, I just really need you, I had a really bad night-â âWoah, wait, I thought you were just with your parents?â
âI was, it just got really bad, I-Iâm outside Tannyhill because I had to leave, and then I got lost and I was scared so I just came straight here.â
âLost? Jeez, kid, itâs, like, down the street.â
âBut I didnât wanna bother you, âcause you were busy-â and then he hears a hiccup, and then a sob.
âOkay, okay, stay there, Iâm gonna come get you,â and he hangs up the call. He darts outside, spotting your navy car and you inside, still in the same clothes from this morning, just wearing his shirt over it, like a jacket. He gets close and you climb out of the car yourself, jumping into his arms and burying your face into his neck, like you always do when you get like this. He can feel the way your body shakes under his arms, the wetness of your tears on his black polo.
âOkay, itâs okay now, come on, letâs go inside.â You make it up the stairs to his bedroom, when Rafe guides you inside and pulls his blinds, so no one peeks inside.Â
He sits you up on the edge of his bed, squatting before you, hands in yours, arms resting on your knees.Â
âYou gonna tell me what happened?â You shake your head, another tear falling. You wish you could say you were pretending, but the tears find their own way when you think about the encounter you just had. Youâre lying when you tell him itâs between you and your parents, but his reaction makes you regret it instantly. âDid they say somethinâ to you? Did they try something? Iâll go over there and sort it all out, okay, kid, donât worry about a thing.â He stands up, running another hand through his messy hair, letting it fall in the moppy way it always does, over his forehead. âStay here, okay, princess, Iâll be back.â
Then you realize heâs gonna go over there and talk to your perfectly happy, clueless parents, so you stand up and turn him back around.
âNo, no, Rafe, donât leave,â and then you melt into a hug, taking in everything about it. Rafe rests his chin on the top of your head, his arms tight around your back. He smells so good, and the way heâs taking care of you makes you realize a couple things. âWill you justâŚmake me forget?â
Your boyfriend looks down at you, and you donât shy away from his gaze like you often, when you get flustered.Â
âMake you forget?â he questions.Â
âI just donât wanna think about anything else,â you start, undoing the bow of your dress, more cleavage revealing itself. âI just wanna think about you,â and then your fingers undo the buttons trailing down the front of your dress. It falls off your shoulders, and you stand before him, naked, certainly not for the first time but what feels like the most intimate itâs ever been.Â
Thereâs a pretty lingerie set hidden in the back of your closet, what you had actually put aside for this moment, but you had no time to run home and get it, so you opted for the next best thing, taking your bra and panties off in the car ride here, shoving them into your purse, and hoping that Rafe was as tempted as you were.
âJust about me?â he questions, and you take his hand into yours, leaning in to press a soft kiss against his lips.
âJust you, Rafe. Iâm ready, Rafey, I want you to fuck me,â and it seems like thatâs all it takes. Rafe crushes his lips against yours, kissing you how he always does, tongue in your mouth and spit everywhere. He holds you by the back of your head and your hands run through his hair. You want him closer, even closer than he already is, than he possibly could be.
His hands leave your head and go down to your ass, grabbing both cheeks roughly and wrapping your legs around his waist. He drops you on his bed, head hitting the pillow, and you pull away for a second, to catch your breath. Rafe doesnât let it happen, gripping your cheeks between his hand and bringing you back in for another kiss. Youâre naked, and heâs still completely dressed, but you donât miss the obvious way his hardened dick presses against your bare cunt.
You canât breathe, and all your senses are overpowered by Rafe, but you also donât really care. You keep kissing, moaning into each otherâs mouths and gripping hair and skin thatâs sure to leave a bruise tomorrow, until you feel him finally pull away for a second. You catch your breath, open-mouthed and heaving, eyes locked.
ââM only gonna ask this once, kid,â he breathes, leaving another hot kiss on your neck, which makes you spread your legs further open with instinct. âYâsure you want this? âCause thereâs no going back.â
You nod in that way you always have with him, telling him everything with no words at all.Â
âThatâs my girl,â he breathes against your neck, and you feel him bite down into the soft skin of the flesh there. You yell out, but it turns into a moan when Rafe licks his tongue over the wound. âThatâs just so you can remember this night, okay baby?â You look back up at him, wet eyes, swollen lips, and flushed, sweaty skin.Â
âThank you, daddy.â He smiles, because youâre in for it now.
âYouâre welcome, kid. Shit,â he breathes out, âI knew youâd like it, little freak.â He starts with more hot kisses, all the way down your neck, down your sternum, and stopping to press a kiss to each side of your ribs, before continuing down to your stomach. You whine from your position below him, one huge hand holding your hip in place and the other tracing the pattern of the kisses down, until he finally reaches where you want him to be.
âGotta be quiet, kid, everyoneâs home. You gonna let them all hear how much of a whore you are for me? Huh?â he mocks, and you shake your head fervently. âGood girl. Youâre being so good, youâre gonna get a treat, okay?â You nod stupidly.
His breath catches for a second, when he gets down to your glistening cunt. He looks up at you from his position there, your chest heaving, tits bouncing with how much youâre squirming, how much you want him to do something. He moves his hands, one resting on your breast, pinching the nipple with his finger, and the other running a line down your pussy. Your whole body twitches up when he runs the metal of his ring over your clit, because he knows you really like it.Â
âRafe, please,â you cry, sounding stupid and fucked out, even though he hasnât started yet. âPlease, please,â and your hips jerk up. He pushes them down.Â
âBe patient, kid. Gotta admire this virgin pussy for the last time before I ruin it, âkay?â You feel your walls tighten at his words, and you hope he missed the way everything just clenched, but itâs Rafe, and he didnât miss a thing. âLike that, huh? You like being my little slut?â
You shake your head, trying to deny it, but the damage is done.
Rafe dives in, and you let out a moan that you didnât realize you were capable of producing. You clamp your own hand over your mouth, because you know heâll stop if you get too loud. His tongue licks you up and down, and true to what you had always thought, he does know what heâs doing.
The hand pinching your nipples doesnât relent, and the weight of his arm holds you down when you buck up as he pushes two fingers inside you, scissoring them to stretch your walls out. It hurts, in the best way, and before you know it, heâs added a third.
His mouth stays focused on your clit, and your legs tremble, even though itâs barely been a few minutes. Itâs all of it, all at once. Being naked in Rafeâs bed, his hand groping your tits, the way he holds you down without trying, the smell of his cologne and his skin and his sweat, making you lightheaded.
His fingers push in and out, and when he hits that sweet spot inside you, the one your own fingers have never been able to reach but somehow, Rafeâs have become well acquainted with, you canât help the noises you make.
You repeat his name over and over again, and you think youâve felt the height of this pleasure, that nothing could surpass this feeling, until your stomach tightens in an entirely new way. Your fucked out brain gets it together for a minute, to feel the overwhelming, ecstatic pressure of Rafeâs tongue on your clit, spelling out his own name. Your stomach tightens, unbearably so, that coil winding up, but before he even finishes the F, it snaps all at once.Â
You let out a screamâwhich you think is so stupid of you. But it feels so good, there was no way around it. Rafe reacts instantly, grabbing your hand thatâs pulling his hair and using it to snap over your mouth, all while he rides you through it.Â
His nose presses against your clit while he slides his fingers out, your pussy walls clamping around nothing, missing him already. He laps up the mess you just made with his tongue, the noise being so overwhelming, you want to scream again.Â
You use your other hand to yank his hair, pulling him up to look at you, because you know you want to see this. Rafe, your Rafe, your boyfriend, with blown, wide eyes and the entire lower half of his face glistening with your juices, with the mess you just made, and then you collapse back down onto the bed.Â
Your breathing is heavy. You arenât sure itâll ever go back to normal.
Rafe pulls his shirt off by grabbing it from the back, yanking it over his head. Your hand floats up to
touch his chest, to make sure heâs still real and not just a vivid sex dream, but he slaps it out of the way.
âWhat did I say, hm?â he asks, leaning over you. His face is just an inch too far to kiss. Your limbs feel numb, and you canât pull him down yourself. You want to cry, because you want to kiss him so badly. âI said you had to be quiet, or everyoneâs gonna know what a little whore you are.â
âI tried, daddy, I did-â
âI donât think you tried at all, kid.â
âNo, I did, I swear-â
âYouâre lucky that I-â and before he finishes his sentence, you pull him down into another kiss. He tastes like you and scotch, and the combination is so intoxicating, you canât pull away. âHey, hey,â he breathes. âIâm not going anywhere, okay?â and the soothing way he says it, you believe him.
âIâm lucky that you what?â you ask, unbuckling his belt and snaking it off the loops.
âThat I love you, and Iâm not gonna punish you tonight for not listening to me.â You drop the belt over your stomach, the melt part hitting with a little clink. You look back up at him, your eyes wide, you imagine, your cheeks flushed.Â
âYou love me?â you ask, quietly. You can barely hear yourself over the thud of your heart pounding in your chest.
âI do,â Rafe replies, running his hand to smooth over your hair, which youâre sure is a mess now. âEnough that Iâm gonna fuck you now, but I had to say it first, because Iâm gonna fuck you until you break.â
Youâre speechless, watching Rafe unbutton his pants and kick them off, boxers going with them. He strokes himself once, twice, and youâre still staring up at his face, even though normally you would get distracted.Â
He looks up again.Â
âYou ready, kid?âÂ
âI love you, Rafey,â you say, twisting your hands around to the back of his neck, pushing him into yet another kiss. You canât pull away, even if you want to, you want him so close that you forget everything else in the world for now. While youâre kissing, he lines himself up with your leaking pussy, which has probably ruined these sheets, and pushes in the tip.
You pull back from the kiss, just to moan, but Rafe silences you with his mouth again. He pushes in more, and more, until youâre sure heâs bottomed out. Your cunt is so, so stretched, you canât fathom this is what youâve been missing out on, and it feels so good, like nothing has ever felt before, not his fingers, not his tongue, not any other part of him.Â
âThatâs halfway, kid, you doinâ okay?â and your eyes jolt up to his in a second.
âH-half?â you breathe out. âI canât, I canât take any more, sânot gonna fit Rafe, not gonna fit-â
âHey,â he repeats, which always has that calming effect on you. âYou let me worry about that, okay? Just relax this pussy fâme, okay?â and the way he says it, you do, because you have no other choice. He pushes in again, fast, hard, and then pulls all the way out. Youâre too scared to look anywhere but his eyes, so you stay locked in on them, until he pushes all the way in again, and your eyes clasp shut.
âOh, oh my god, Rafe-â And you donât care who hears you this time. He pulls out again, just his lip still inside you.
âLook, princess, look down,â he urges, and you follow his instructions, because you always do. âLook where weâre connected, yeah?â He fucks in and out of you, slowly but then faster, and you do look, entranced at the way your pussy sucks him in, the way your cum is coating his dick, at the brutal pace heâs set.Â
You look until you canât anymore, leaning back against the pillow and watching Rafe above you, his face twisted in pleasure, eyebrows furrowed, mouth panting. He buries his face into your neck, and you grip the top of his shoulders, nails digging in, because you just need to hold onto something.
He told the truth, you think, in your fucked out, blissful state, that he was going to fuck you like he hated you, battering into your sore pussy over and over again.Â
You repeat his nameâdaddy, not Rafeâuntil he shuts you up with a kiss, and he watches the strings of spit connecting your mouths when he pulls away.
âJust needed this dick, didnâya princess? Just needed daddy to think for ya?â You moan in reply. âYou got it then, kid, because mânever gonna stop fucking you. Yânever gonna think about anything else again.â
And then he finally does you in, because he presses down, right below your stomach, while he slams in, and you feel something inside you break, like a flood breaking through a dam. It washes out to every part of you, from your ears to your fingers to your toes. White hot pleasure runs its course through your body, cunt tightening and shaking, eyes rolling back, your spine arching forward. Through all of it, Rafe pins you down, and fucks you through it. And finally, deliriously, you open your fucked-out eyes, looking up at him.
âI love you, daddy,â and he cums before he can even pull out, messy rivulets shooting inside you, leaking out onto his expensive sheets. He moans into your neck, and his entire body slumps forward, and you giggle under the weight.
A few minutes pass by.
âRafey, youâre gonna crush me,â you say quietly, sing-songy. Youâre so happy, youâve forgotten everything else thatâs happened.
Rafe presses a kiss to your forehead and rolls off, slumping next to you. Your head lands on his chest not a second later, his arm around your shoulder and another kiss to your hair.
âFeel better, kid?âÂ
âSo much better, Rafey.âÂ
You donât know when you fall asleep, only that you woke up to the sound of your phone going on. You pick it up, trying to turn down the light so Rafe doesnât wake up too. Thereâs one message.
JJ: I thought you said you werenât gonna sleep with him?
