Buddie Week Day 4: Eddie calling Buck 'Evan'
@911buddieweek (terribly sorry to the fest admin for tagging after the week is over! I really wanted to complete the week as a personal challenge even if it's delayed)
Iâll rearrange the letters of your name to spell love
Eddie starts calling Buck by 'Evan' and doesn't stop once he realizes Buck doesn't mind.
Or
5 times Eddie calls him Evan, and one time Buck calls him Edmundo.
Mature (for mild sexual content only in the beginning) | 2,817 words
> Established Relationship, Dorks in Love, SO MUCH FLUFF, The power of names (or something like that)
Eddie's eyes are shining bright with emotions and he has that one smile that he has when he's around Chris; Buck thinks it means love but Eddie is not at that point where he's said it to Buck yet. Buck doesn't mind, Eddie declares his love for Buck in a hundred different ways. He doesn't need words to tell him that. Eddie places a hand against his face and gently caresses Buck's cheek. âDo you want me to call you Evan more?â, he asks softly. And Buck swallows against the rush of feelings at the thought. âYes. Yeah, I think soâ, he says, and he knows he sounds strangled, his voice raw but Eddie doesn't say anything. He pulls Buck closer, back to tuck his head against his neck and moves his hand up and down Buck's back soothingly. âAnything for you, Evanâ, and Buck lets out a happy sigh against him. Because that too sounds like âI love youâ when it comes from Eddie.
Read on AO3!

lazy sunday morning sex with Jimin drabble? đł
Pairing: Jimin x female reader
Genre: smut, fluff
Word count: 1.7k
Warnings: hickeys, vaginal fingering, unprotected sex, multiple orgasms
a/n: wow, another exes Jimin drabbleâŠis this a sign I need to write an exes Jimin story
~~~~~~~~~
You never thought youâd be in this position againâŠall cozy, wrapped up in Jiminâs arms on this Sunday morning. The sun comes in through the blinds in soft, unforgiving waves. Your eyes blinking repeatedly, taking in your surroundings. Yeah, you didnât expect this. Being in bed with Park Jimin. Your ex-boyfriend.
Last night was a wild ride, for sure. All of your friends in one place, enjoying Jungkookâs house for his birthday party. Everyone was drunk off their asses, including you. Shot after shot, mixed drink after mixed drink. Your pounding head lets you know how badly you fucked up. But the soreness between your legs and your naked state lets you know even more how badly you fucked up.
Youâre about to shimmy your way out of his grasp and rise from the bed when his arms pull you in tighter. Jiminâs soft, thick lips peck at your neck, kissing you so tenderly.
âAnd where do you think youâre going?â Jiminâs warm breath tickles the sensitive skin of your neck. âNot trying to run away, are you?â Thereâs a teasing tone to his voice, a smile you can only imagine that plays at his face.
âJiminâŠâ you slowly close your eyes as continues to kiss you. âWeâŠâ
âI meant what I said last night.â He doesnât let you finishâŠor even begin really. âI miss you.â
You open your eyes again and sigh out, his words making you feel strange. You donât remember that.
âAnd when did you say that?â you decide to ask, disappointment in your voice.
âYouâŠ?â Jimin detaches himself from you, lifting his head to get a look at your face, a frown decorating his features. âYou donât remember our conversation last night?â
You scrunch your brows together as you take a look at him, wondering what sort of conversation you two had last night. But then your eyes spot the many blooming hickeys across his neck, you have a solid idea.
âWe were drunk.â You say quietly. âSo I donât remember too much.â Your admission making Jiminâs lips pull downward. âButâŠâ your eyes drop down to his exposed chest and abs, âYou can remind me.â
âHow should I remind you?â he laughs suddenly, âGive you a play by play of our conversation? Or were you hoping I show you how things went?â he raises a single brow and looks at you knowingly. âWe said some pretty heavy things.â His eyes bore into yours, his playful expression shifting into something more serious. âYou said you still loââ
âOkay!â you cut him off with your shrill voice. âNo need to remind me actually.â
Jimin scoffs, a smirk showing itself.
âArenât you curious how I responded?â
âNot really. Considering why we broke up I can imagine how you responded.â
Jimin bites on his bottom lip, his eyes leaving yours as he finds something new to focus on. âI told you I love you too.â He blurts out. âAnd then weâŠâ he gestures between your bodies.
âWe?â you look at him, your eyes twinkling with something he hasnât seen in a while.
âI can show you again.â His hand comes to your cheek, caresses it before leaning into you. âItâs early, the house is quiet.â He says, âEveryoneâs probably still asleepâŠâ
âJiminâŠâ You close your eyes again, âYouâre the one who has trouble staying quiet.â You remind him.
âYou just make me feel so good.â He whispers, leaning closer and closer. âI lose my mind when Iâm with you.â
âIâm sore.â You open your eyes to gaze into his, âSo maybe not an exact repeat of last night.â
âI can go as soft as you want babe.â He inches closer, his lips now barely touching yours. âI can make you cream this cock no matter how hard I go on you.â
âJimin.â You part your lips, his name coming out in a whiny moan. âJimin.â
His hands come to your jaw as he pulls you in, his lips smooshing into yours for a kiss so sweet. He begins moving his plush lips over yours, the sounds of lips smacking against one another filling the room. Finally, you feel the wetness of his tongue poke out between his lips, prodding its way into your mouth.
You welcome him, your own tongue sliding between his parted mouth. You play with his tongue so sinfully, the wet, slippery muscle dancing so erotically with yours. He grunts into your mouth as his hands slide down your sides, he gropes your breasts on the way down.
His hand finds your hip and he is slowly trying to turn you over on your other side, his lips leaving yours and traveling down your neck.
âFlip over for me babe.â His husky voice tells you heâs getting so worked up. You do as he says and turn over to face the wall, your back against his chest, your ass shoving itself so pleasantly into his crotch.
âFeel that?â he whispers into your ear. âFeel what you do to me?â He grinds himself into you, his hardening length pushing up against your ass cheeks. âJust kissing you and I am a goner.â
His hand reaches over your hips until his fingers are skidding across your skin, dipping lower and lower until his fingers meet your wet heat. His head falls forward, biting your shoulder as he groans in satisfaction.
âI see I affect you too.â he starts sliding his fingers between your folds, âYouâve always been so ready for me.â
You whimper when he starts rubbing lazy circles around your bundle of nerves, the action working you up so smoothly. Your hips swiveling, your breaths sharp, your ass backing into his cock.
âI want you.â You release a shaky breath, âI need you.â
âYou love me?â he rubs your clit slowly, âBecause according to drunk y/n you are so fucking in love with me.â
You lightly gasp when you feel two of his fingers enter your hole, they push in and out of you like he has all day.
âBecause I feel that way too.â He rasps out, âIâve missed you so much. I was an idiot for breaking up with you.â His fingers move a little faster now.
âNeed you, Jimin.â You whine, âNeed you to fill me up.â
Jimin nods his head approvingly, his fingers leaving your pussy. He reaches for his member, his hard, leaking member and pumps it a few times, rolling his head back.
âCondom?â he whines out, touching himself still.
âNo.â you moan, âWant to feel you.â
Jiminâs right hand continues to pump his cock as his other hand reaches for your leg, he guides your leg to drape over his own, opening you up for him.
âGoing to fuck you babe.â He takes his cock and lines it up with your entrance, you shiver when you feel his tip playing at your hole.
âPlease, Jimin.â You moan as quietly as possible, âWant to feel you.â
Jimin slowly pushes the head of his dick inside you, your walls accepting him after a few moments. He breathes erratically, his senses in overdrive as he feels you clench around him. He pushes inside you further and further until he has his entire cock buried in you.
âUghâŠ.â Jimin slams his eyes shut, youâre sucking him in. Your tight hole causing him to feel so much pleasure.
Jimin is great with his hips, he knows how to use them. The way he slides out of you and grinds back into you has you gritting your teeth. He controls his movements so fucking expertly, his cock finding your special spots with every tender thrust.
âKeep this pace.â You sigh out, your hands balling up the sheets. âFeels so good.â
Jiminâs hard member moves inside you so sinfully slow, the way it brushes against your g spot making you curl your toes.
âWant my fingers too babe?â he breathes out roughly, âJust want you to feel good.â
âPleaseâŠâ you start rocking your own hips back into his, the pleasure building up so deliciously.
Jiminâs fingers find you again, they slip and slide, rubbing around your soaked clit. You try to keep your moans quiet but the way Jimin is whining, you find yourself unable to stay quiet.
âA little faster now.â You pant out, your eyes squeezing shut. âA little harder.â
Jiminâs hips rock back and forth with more force, his skin slapping against your skin more roughly. His fingers pressing down harder, adding needed pressure to get you closer to your orgasm.
âAh, fuck.â You cry out, âHarder.â you begin to beg, your walls squeezing him so tightly.
âIâm going to come babe.â Jiminâs hips slam into yours now, the pace faster, harder as he reaches inside you deeper and deeper.
âClose?â he whimpers.
âYesâŠ.â
Jimin fucks into you with his precise movements, his hips never stopping, never giving up as he brings you pleasure. You feel your insides become a gooey mess as you start to come, your legs shaking slightly. You cry out over and over, repeating his name like a prayer.
âWhere should I come?â he moans out, âPleaseâŠinside you.â His muscles begin tensing,
âYes!â you scream as you finally reach the peak of your orgasm. Jimin grinds his hips into yours more powerfully now as he comes, his hips finally slowly down again as he fills you up.
He rides out both of your highs by lazily thrusting his cum deep within you, his movements not stopping. Itâs slow now but youâre quick to feel another orgasm approaching. The feeling too much, so fucking overwhelming but you push through.
âYou feel so good babeâŠâ Jimin groans, âCome for me again.â He says as his fingers work their magic on you again as he grinds himself into you.
And you do. You reach another high, your eyes rolling around in your head as you come all around his cock. The way he pushes in and out of you making your vision go white.
âFuck.â You drag out the word as he starts sliding out of you, âI missed you.â You pant, âSo fucking much.â
âMe too babe.â Jiminâs head falls forward onto your shoulder, âMaybe we can start over.â

Soft Nessian cuddles/slice of life? đ„ș writers choice for universe â€ïž
See now that writers choice of universe was dangerous because it got me thinking about a comment from one of my faves- @talkfantasytome on Going For Gold asking for more of a certain day. I wonât call this canon for that fic because I donât think Nesta was quite at this point then in the story, but Iâm writing the Drabble I wouldâve put in that chapter if Nesta were more of a soft girl.
No worries if you donât read GFG, this can be read alone. Context is simply: Olympic Village AU, Cassian just won a gold medal and Nesta just realized sheâs in love with him. Heâs been in love with her for some time now, obviously.
It was annoying, quite frankly. This feeling. Like her heart was trying to pry her rib bones apart and offer itself raw and unprotected to the giant teddy bear of a man in front of her.
Nesta was an elite athlete. Her heart rate was so low most of the time that she barely registered it was in her chest. Which⊠maybe that was a metaphor, but Nesta didnât have time to care about metaphors right now because as previously stated, her heart was pounding.
And it just got worse. As everyone piled on to congratulate Cassian. As she saw his face splashed across her news app. As she waited, patiently, for them to be alone. She was feeling unsettled and apparently now when she was feeling unsettled she wanted to be near him. Which was ridiculous. And inconvenient as hell.
It took approximately four hundred years before they were back in his bed. Where theyâd joked that morning about him leaving her there because he loved to see her all warm and cozied up in his covers.
Nesta said nothing. Only took his hand and pulled him into his own bed. Sat cross legged with her spine against his pillows and motioned for him to do the same.
Cassian knew something was up, but he just smirked a little and joined her. Mimicking the position so that his knees knocked against hers.
âNo.â Nesta shook her head. âNope. I canât look at you while I say this. Ugh!â Nesta humphed herself out of the bed and pointed at her vacated spot. âUp there.â
âBossy,â Cassian grinned, settling himself against the headboard. âI could get into that.â
Nesta just rolled her eyes. Crawled back into the bed like some stupid pathetic love sick kitten and laid her back against his chest. Pulled his legs apart so she could sit in between them and lulled her head back onto his broad chest. Cassian, the unreasonable pillar of perfection that he was, instantly rested his chin on her head and wrapped both of his massive arms tight around her waist.
Her only consolation was that his heart was also racing where she could feel it beating against her back.
âCongratulations.â She said quietly.
âThanks.â
âThis⊠this is supposed to be about you. And I know that. And the rest of the day can be. You made it about me when I won my medals, but first we have to talk. Because I have a problem.â
His whole body stiffened against hers. âOk?â
âMy problem is that I donât do this. And Iâve told you that. And youâve been patient and sweet and understanding. You havenât pushed me at all. Which is a part of my problem.â
âYou want me to push you?â
âI want you to be less perfect,â Nesta grumbled. âBecause when you do things like wrap your arms around me at night and tell me Iâm beautiful and that you donât even care when Iâm being a massive bitch. When you do things like let me drag you around a museum for hours and point at me in a crowd the second after you win a gold medal I⊠I start to get feelings. Feelings that I donât understand.â
Cassianâs chest rumbled with laughter against Nestaâs back.
âDonât mock me!â
âIâm not.â Cassian assured her with a kiss to the top of her head. âWhy donât you finish and then let me know when itâs my turn.â He said it casually, but his legs moved to tangle with hers and his arms tightened until she wasnât sure if she was keeping herself together or he was doing it for her.
âOk. You make me want things, Cassian. Things that I never knew I could even want. I knew I could want sex and physical touch and maybe even love in some weird way, but I never⊠you make me want to prance through the street like an idiot holding your hand. You make me want to visit the Eiffel Tower and drink too much wine in a candlelit restaurant. You make me want a life that I⊠Iâm so afraid Iâm not capable of. You make me want a little house on a cul de sac. You make me think about what a person who was half me and half you might look like. You just⊠you make me want things, Cassian. And I donât know how to have those things.â
âMy turn?â
âYour turn.â
Cassian grasped his hands around her waist and easily flipped Nesta around, her legs spreading around his hips and her arms going around his neck until she was hanging onto him like a baby koala bear. It was disgusting. And everything she had ever wanted.
His hand rubbed idle circles along the small of her back. âI love you.â Heâd said those words for the first time that morning and he thought it was a mistake, but it wasnât. It couldnât be. âIâve wanted those things since the second I saw you, Nesta. Every minute with you is like being a person I donât recognize. Iâm a wrestler! And you make me this gooey, marshmallowy, puddle of puppy dog eyes and searing touches. The games arenât even over yet but if you want to see the Eiffel Tower then letâs go. If you want to see the pyramids or the Congo or go white water rafting down the damn Nile then letâs go. You and me. Whatever you want.â
Cassianâs shirt was damp. Not a lot, just a little puddle where Nesta let out a few silent tears. âYou can have anything you want. Anything. You are extraordinary and I know youâre scared. Iâm scared too, but Iâm also sure. Sure of us and the future and what we can do with it. Iâm sure about you, Nesta.â
âIâm so scared to be apart after this,â she admitted.
âIâm not.â Cassian held her closer. âWe could be in different dimensions, different universes, and I would still love you. Iâm not afraid of the distance, but⊠why donât you come with me?â
âWhat?â Nesta blinked up at him, blue-grey eyes wide and bleary.
âAfter the games. Come with me to England. You need to figure stuff out for you and Feyreâs move and Iâll be there for months on this project⊠come with me.â
Nesta smiled, but Cassian couldnât see it. Because she lurched forward and smiled against his lips. âYes,â she whispered between earth shattering kisses. âLetâs do it. Letâs be together. Letâs⊠want.â
âNo,â Cassian smirked, âletâs have.â

@songofassandfire said: Okay uhhh maybe after the broship breakup in the vaccination special, Kenny gets fed up and exhausted with being sort of passed around between his friends, and ends up finding comfort in butters? Sorry if thatâs too vague mgddngdng
i hope u like it, dude! not my best work, but im pretty satisfied with this :) i wrote this with them as teenagers in mind because, well, i write what i know most of the time, and i remember being in high school better than i remember being in fourth grade jhfdajk
im still taking short bunny, creek, or style drabble requests to help me get back into writing! feel free to send any requests youve got in mind here <3 now, onto the ficlet !
while butters is doing homework in his room, on his belly on his bed with his chin resting in his palm, he gets a sudden notification on his phone, a loud buzz startling him out of his homework induced reverie. he frowns at the distraction from the math problem he was struggling through, though he is partially grateful to have an excuse to look away from all the angry numbers and letters on his paper. he sits up, grabs his phone, and unlocks it eagerly.
from: ken â„ hey can i come over for a bit? i need to get away from my friends lol
butters frowns at the message, types out a quick response of sure, iâm up in my room, before returning to laying on his stomach and staring at his homework, as if looking at it hard enough will magically solve all of the problems for him. he quickly finds himself drifting off, though, thinking about his boyfriendâs current predicament with their mutual friends. he doesnât know much about the whole issue with them - he only knows bits and pieces from what kenny has been willing to divulge during their nightly phone calls, but from what he does know, it sounds messy. he knows that kennyâs three friends have split up for reasons unknown to him, and have thus taken to toting kenny between them like a divorced couple slinging a child between them. butters grimaces. it must be a nightmare to be treated like that.
while heâs lost in his thoughts, heâs suddenly shocked by a body bouncing on his bed next to him. butters is just about to scream when a familiar, calloused hand is shoved over his mouth. he finally looks up to see whoâs in his bedroom, smiling wide under the palm on his mouth when he sees his boyfriend. kenny smiles wide back at him, his normal crooked and charming smile making butters feel warm and gooey inside.
as soon as kenny moves his hand, butters leaps up, throwing his arms around kennyâs neck. âhi, ken!â butters says eagerly, smiling even bigger when he feels kennyâs strong arms loop around his waist.
âhi, buttercup!â kenny responds, trying to sound just as eager, but itâs clear to butters just how exhausted he is.
butters pulls away a bit so he can look at kennyâs face now, taking in his tired expression with a frown. âwhatâs going on, cupcake?â he asks, gently brushing kennyâs messy bangs out of his face.
kenny lets out a long suffering sigh, leaning into buttersâs hands. âmy friends are driving me insane. iâm so sick of them treating me like their kid. as if iâm not as mature as the rest of them. yâknow, i might even be more mature than them.â
butters nods understandingly, moving to sit cross legged next to kenny. âi know what you mean, honey. have you tried talking to them about how you feel about the arrangement lately?â
kenny groans, leaning forward to plop his head on buttersâs shoulder. âi keep trying to talk to them, but every time i bring up the situation to any of them, they immediately just shut down and try and change the subject. i think i almost got stan to crack and listen to me once, but theyâre all just.. ugh. iâm so close to just dropping all three of them until they all get their shit together.â
butters nods along as kenny speaks, gently running his fingers through his boyfriendâs sandy curls. âi think you should,â butters says softly, encouragingly. âmaybe what they need is for you to leave them in order to kick their butts into gear! theyâre beinâ pretty dumb with this whole thing, i think.â
âgod, tell me about it!â kenny says, laughing bitterly. he reaches up to rub at his face tiredly. âtheyâre such dumbasses.â
butters laughs softly and nods in agreement. âdefinitely. i think they just need a little push to realize that theyâre, like... you guys are like platonic soulmates! i think, um, taking a break from each other is good for them, but theyâre going about it the wrong way.â
kenny huffs out a breath and nods before pulling away to look at butters. âhowâd you get to be so smart, babe?â
butters lets out a small noise of surprise. âwho, me?â
kenny laughs and nods, smiling wide before leaning forward to kiss butters softly. âyes, you! i never really thought of us as soulmates before, but that makes a ton of sense. iâm gonna tell âem to piss off until they get their shit together, iâm sick of being toted around like a little kid!â
butters smiles wide and toothy, gently cupping kennyâs face in his hands. âthatâs a buddy! i think itâll be really good for you to get away from them, cupcake!â
kenny smiles just as wide back, leaning in to kiss him softly again. âme too, babe. itâll be fun to hang out with other people for once. maybe iâll get into less chaos without those guys around.â
butters giggles and nods, reaching to grab kennyâs hands and squeezing them lightly. âyeah! iâve been sitting with craig and his friends lately, you should join us! theyâre a lotta fun, and they donât start as much drama.â
âgod knows i could use some of the peace that they bring,â kenny says, interlocking his fingers with buttersâs, squeezing his hands mindlessly.
âfeel a little better now?â butters asks after a moment, tilting his head. when kenny nods, he continues, âgreat! now, how about you help me with my math homework? algebra always makes my head spin...â

Please go easy on me....it's been a few years since I've written a story let alone letting someone read my trash writing.
Enjoy ~Â
A long and angry growl from my stomach bubbled audibly against the palm of my hand. On any other day I would have been okay with having to skip breakfast....even if it was getting close to dinner time....but we had been walking all over downtown Chicago. I was rightfully starving.Â
" Ugh! I don't think I can go on any longer.....I might die..." I whined, hoping for a reaction from the group but all I got was an irritated response from Kyle.Â
 " For the last time we don't have time to stop and eat River.... we're so close to the performance spot and if we're even a minute late they'll -"Â
" What IS that smell?..." I asked cutting him off in the process. I began looking around to find where the sickly sweet smell was coming from and then I saw it in all it's glory...Rainbow letters spelled out The Yummy Tummy Co. The soft pink building was just screaming at me to come and sample there sweets. I wiped the drool from my face and whipped my head around and looked up at KyleÂ
" We don't HAVE to be at the park until 6ish. It's only 4:15 Ky.....give me half an hour. Quick in and out and I'll meet you guys there. " I even gave him a little pout but it wasn't enough. He crossed his arms like an annoyed parent with there child. I was losing hope until an idea hit me.Â
"C'mon I KNOW your hungry too....what if I get you something so your not all cranky when we preform huh? You wanna do your best right?" He raised an eyebrow and sighed.Â
"25 minutes and half a dozen blueberry glazed doughnuts.... we'll meet you there." I practically jumped in the air and raced to the bakery, barely doing cars as I crossed the busy street.Â
I opened the bakery door and a wave of sweet hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt a twinge of anxiety set in as nobody came to greet me....matter of fact nobody else was there. I was alone.
"Hhheeelllllllllllllllllllllllllooooo?" I called out, sightly annoyed that I was gonna leave empty handed. Right as I was about to turn around I saw a plate of brownies sitting on the corner near the cash register with a free sample sign poking out of one of the many brownies.Â
"Well....I don't think much harm will come if I just take a few....right?..." My stomach answered with a growl and I grabbed the plate of brownies and was about to sit down when I figured it would be a good idea to grab a drink too....I was about to play for thousands of people....I wanna sound good for all the lovely ladies out there I thought to myself as I scanned the room for something to drink and then I saw the customer fridge stocked with pops and teas but I had my heart set on the Cookies' n Cream milk. I heard kyles nagging voice in the back of my head saying that I shouldn't be messing with dairy because there wouldn't be time for a bathroom break but I shook the thought out of my head and looked at the clock on the wall... 4:17....oh I definitely have time. I sat down and licked my lips as I examined the feast in front of me. A large plate of brownies and 5 20oz bottles of Cookies'nCream milk. With a big smile on my face I grabbed my first brownie in dug in.Â
    This was by far the best tasting ANYTHING I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. It was still warm and a just a touch under baked so it was extra gooey. The fudgyness of the brownie accompanied by the chocolate chips that seemed to melt in my mouth kept my tastebuds begging for more. After I finished that first brownie I chugged a bit of the milk and before I knew it I had a good system going. I'd take a few bites than take a huge gulp of milk and I continued this for awhile.Â
   I began to feel my belly expand around the 5 or 6th brownie. I leaned back against the counter and patted my belly. I was starting to fill up fast but they tasted ssooo good. I unbuttoned my shorts, giving my belly more room to grow as I chuckled to myself. I was definitely a messy eater. Crumbs and mostly eaten brownie bits scattered all over. I had chocolate stains on my shirt that and the tips of my fingers. No doubt my face was covered in the choclately goodness. A satisfied burp escaped my lips and I gave my belly a little rub as I unzipped my shorts. I could telly belly was getting really bloated but to what extent I didn't know. I've always kinda had this fantasy about making myself as huge as possible. The feeling of my soft jiggly belly and massive thighs was always a little bit of a turn on. I felt my face heat up as I was making myself excited. I moaned as I felt all the brownies making their way through my digestive system. I felt as if I died and went to heaven. But before I could grab another brownie I head footsteps in the distance. My heart dropped. I wasn't alone after all. Before I even had time to react I felt hands bang down on the counter I was sitting infront of. Thank God for the ledge of the counter that was hiding me. I could tell my the groans and angry noises coming from whoever was behind the counter that they weren't pleased with my little snack.Â
"Who the fuck ate all the brownies?? Ugh I JUST made them this morning! I didn't even get to try this new recipe.....WHOEVER did this needs to fess up NOW!" The fiery voice demanded. I was hoping for a quick escape since they hadn't noticed me yet since they had come from behind the counter and I was sitting infront of it I was hoping I could just crawl out and quickly make a run for it but my stomach had other plans as a long low growl gave away my position. Shit. I looked up at the same time a very confused pair of thick glasses looked down at me. I felt my face flush. I considered myself a 'smooth talker' when it came to women but she was different. For once I had nothing to say. My mind went blank. She walked around to the front of the counter and I sheepishly stood up. There was a breaf silence until she askedÂ
" Where they good at least? I've been trying these different recipes and I thought I finally got it right but I wasn't sure so I left them out as free samples" she was looking me up and down. I had forgotten that my shorts were completely undone and I could have easily put a toddler to shame with how messy I had ate them.Â
"Y-yeah they were amazing! You should DEFINITELY keep that recipe. " I finally had enough courage to look up at her. She was a hair taller than me, just under 6ft. She had dirty blonde hair that was down framing for face, and the most beautiful sky blue eyes I had ever seen. She had a Beatles shirt on from their '64 would tour, black jeans and combat boots. I felt my face turn another shade of darker red when I realized I had gotten lost in her eyes.Â
"I'm Kat" she said with a smile.Â
" River......my name's River." I said with a nervous smile. ' Jesus what is wrong with me? Why is she making me so nervous? Why is my heart beating so fast?' my stomach growled breaking my train of thought. 'why on earth am I still hungry???' I sighed and placed a hand on my belly.Â
" Guess I'm still kinda hungry.....would you mind if?....I mean I'll pay of course even though they're free samples I'd feel bad...Oh! And all the drinks......" I reached into my back pocket ready to pay the small fortune but I got no response from her regarding a prince. I looked at her again to only see she wasn't even paying attention to my words. No. She was fixated on my belly. her face was a little flushed with what I'd assume was excitement as she was biting her bottom lip. I quickly pulled my shirt down and began to button up my shorts. ' no worded she's staring at you she probably thinks your a fucking fat pig' I thought to myself. She quickly noticed this and her eyes grew wide.Â
 " No no no please don't. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.... Your belly is just so massive.....it's kinda....hot..." She trailed off as she took a step closer. My eyes widened in disbelief. 'hot?? She thinks I'M hot???' damn it. I was at a lose for words again.Â
 " You think I'm....hOt?" My voice cracked. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.....
  She nodded her head as she messed with her hair " Yes, very.....but you mentioned you where still hungry?"Â
   "Yeah, but I don't think I can eat anymore brownies." I said sheepishly.Â
  " Oh? Well lucky for you this is a well stocked bakery. Follow me." With a flip of her hair she spun around and beckoned me to follow with her finger. How could I say no? I shrugged and without another thought I followed her behind the counter. I could tell things were about to get interesting.Â

đ My ultimate Sobbe fic recs đ
Recently, I have gone through Robbe/Sander tag on ao3 and I decided to compose a list of fics that are absolute gems for me. A few disclaimers first:
â I didnât include works in progress (WIPs), however I did include fics that are only on tumblr
â the order of the fics below is random
â this is the list of my personal favorites so if your favorite fic is not on the list it doesnât mean itâs bad or that I consider it bad - we just vibe with different things :)
â if thereâs a fic on this list that you decided to give a shot and loved it, please remember about leaving a comment under it to let the author know that
â Iâve been trying to add the âread moreâ thingy but it doesnât show, Iâm sorry, I know long posts are annoying af
under 1k
weâre keeping it simple by noobishere | G
Summary: Sander comes over unannounced and attacks Robbeâs very person (a.k.a the one where Sander teases Robbe on Eenvoud)
This is a guaranteed mood lifter. Itâs short, sweet, to the point, and oh so funny. The banter. And Iâd die to see that in the show.Â
1k - 5k
Fizzy Colas by Foxsake5 | M
Summary: Letâs say this is a clip (hopefully not as short as the standard 1:40 of this season) with Sander as the main on a âbros night outâ đ»
This author is my queen/king alright? They take a simple idea and turn it into the most lovely/cute/soft story. This fic is exactly that. Sobbeâs chemistry here is out of this world and the banter is to die for.
high for this by flowersmaze (@bowieskam) | G
Summary: In which Sander remains a Flirtâą and in love with Robbe even when he canât feel his face after a medical procedure
The summary says it all. Loopy Sander is the cutest and funniest thing.
Pull Me from the Dark by TheOceanIsMyInkwell (@theoceanismyinkwell) | T
Summary: Sander discovers that Robbe has recently been prescribed antidepressants, and Robbe opens up to him about the night he almost stepped off the bridge. Only love will show how much theyâve grown and pull them through.
This time, the boys talk about Robbeâs mental state which is unusual in fics. This oneshot is communication 101. And this line is just đđ» âBut after the dust of their first kiss and their first vows of commitment settled around them, Robbe took a look at the space in which he floated and realized, somewhere along the line, that finding the love of your life doesnât fix you.â
diminuendo by noobishere
Summary:Â Waking up feels like an ordeal. His eyes are heavy, arms a dead weight, he isnât sure if his limbs are even in the right places, but eventually, Sander comes to. (a.k.a a take on how Sander fairs after Robbe left for school.)
Sanderâs POV after Dinsdag 7:27. Itâs a great insight into his headspace during that time. This could be a scene in the show because it fits so well.
youâre wonder under summer sky by nothingbutniall | M
Summary: Two city boys go camping. What could go wrong? (Everything, apparently.)
Those boys are a chaotic mess okay? Theyâre such dorks. This fic has the best kind of grumpiness there is and sobbe is written so in character here.
if we can make it through december (maybe weâll make it through forever) by nothingbutniall | G
Summary: Robbe and Sander at the Christmas market.
Can you imagine those two dorks at the Christmas market? Well you donât have to anymore because this fic is everything you need and more. And this line âCouldnât,â Sander sulks. âYou canât hold hands properly with mittens on.â makes me go all gooey inside every.single.time đ
A New Sunday Feeling by Foxsake5 | M
Summary:Â Sander before Robbe: Ugh, Sundays đ Sander after Robbe: đđ„șđ„°
The way this author writes sobbeâs intimate moments is just pure talent. They have such way with words.
memories painted with much brighter ink by nothingbutniall | G
Summary: Saint Nicholas is the perfect excuse for an evening of gifts and banter with the flatshare. (Basically all five of them being cute together, and then Robbe and Sander being cute with just the two of them.)
This is the perfect fic for an October evening, when Christmas is just around the corner and youâve just made yourself a cup of coffee and want to read some heart-warming well-written christmassy fluff.Â
5k - 10k
Letâs Dance by msleviss (@sander-driesen) | G
Summary: Robbe and his friends go to a club to check out Amberâs DJ cousin.
THIS PERSON PREDICTED DJ SANDER YâALL. And Robbe thirsts over him. And there is an instant connection. And Robbe dances. And itâs so cute.
video phone by tokyometropolis (@luludemauryyy) | E
Summary: AKA OH MY GOD, THEY WERE QUARANTINEDâŠexcept not together, because life is cruel. Thankfully itâs 2020 and when Robbe has anâŠerâŠintense dream about Sander in the middle of the night, all he has to do is press one button and Facetime him about it. Thing isâŠsometimes FaceTiming isnât enough.
Look. I get that smut fics are not everyoneâs cup of tea. And thatâs totally fine. But. If youâre looking for a well-written smut thatâs in character and where you can feel the love between the characters, this is it. Hands down. Sorry not sorry đđŒââïž
10k - 20k
our camp of dreams by robbesanderx (@robbesdriesen) | M
Summary: a summer camp!AU where robbe and sander are both co-counselors
Misunderstandings lead to pining. Teenage angst at its finest. I really like camp stories, itâs my thing.
Falling For You by silver_etoile (@azozzoni) | T
Summary: Robbe only knows one thing about football: that Sander Dreisen is the hottest player on the FC Utrecht team. When Jens drags him to a match, the last thing Robbe expects is to meet someone so perfect, and itâs all he can do not to mess it up, but will he succeed?
Sobbe in a different setting with a bit different dynamic yet still having that special something. Itâs a nicely written story of the development of their relationship, first meeting, falling in love, ups and down, all the best things in fics. And Sander as a soccer player is a pretty đ„ concept (and I think Robbe agrees).
This isnât our first time around by noobishere | E
Summary: One moment they are in the kitchen of their shared apartment, the next, theyâre in this strange but familiar room.(a.k.a the au in which they accidentally go hopping through multiple universes)
The universe takes matters into their own hands and shows those silly boys that they are meant to be. Sign me up for the ride.
Coffee and Croques by peaceoutofthepieces (@peaceoutofthepieces) | G
Summary: Sander works at the on-campus coffee shop with Eliott, and he might just have a crush on the cute boy in the brown coat.
Iâm a sucker for coffeshop fics. There is just something so good about them. This one is the coffeshop!AU that sobbe deserves. Oh the pining, and the secretive looks, the silly boys, and a pinch of Elu. Me likey â
The finest of the meadow by allforyoumylove | M
Summary: The universe brings two lonely boys together in a flowering meadow. They fall for each other fast and hard among delicate daisies, warm summer breezes, and shooting stars.
This is magical. My comment on the work was âSo soft, so beautiful, so THEM, ugh.â and I MEANT that. This is just the right amount of sweetness. This is a must read. Iâm not messing around.Â
two side of the same coin series by MajorAccent (@acespaceacepilot) | E
Summary: the valleys and mountains of sanderâs bpd
How the boys handle Sanderâs ups and downs. Robbe being the best boyfriend ever. I love how good he is for Sander, being there for him, not treating him like a baby, and not controlling him. How much he tries to make it at least a little bit easier for him. If you donât want to read explicit stories, at least give the first part a try since itâs not E rated.Â
Zaterdag 9:58 by Foxsake5 | M
Summary: What happened after the croissants dropped to the floor đ„đ€đ
I meant it when I said Foxsake5 has great way with words. Every single piece of theirs is just âchefâs kissâ. This fic is a definition of a domestic fic. Oh, and it happened. Totally. Itâs my headcanon now.
its an unrequited love by eggsntoast | G
Summary: Sander works part-time at a museum every Sunday. Robbe is a frequent visitor.
A Sander POV fic. I was sold from the beginning. The development of their relationship here is so cute, and theyâre being so stupid with their pining instead of just talking to each other and you just want to shake them but at the same time youâre rooting for them so hard. Oh and did I mention pining?
20k+
Jij Verliest series by ravenbrenna09 (@djsander) | M
Summary:Â For the past three months, Robbeâs lifeâand what it once wasâhad been stripped away and rearranged. Now, if anything, his life had become a bit repetitive: homework, stream, ignore Thomasâs Instagram, repeat. But one Friday evening, Robbe meets a hurricane in the form of a platinum-haired tattoo artist who just might show him everything that heâs been missing.
This is a long series okay? But oh so worth it. Itâs captivating and you donât want to stop until you finish. And once you finish youâre sad itâs over even though youâve just spent 8 fucking hours reading it. Itâs amazing. But you probably know that because itâs quite popular (rightfully so). The best thing is that you expect it to go bad halfway through because itâs difficult to keep the quality on the same level in a fic that long. But it doesnât.
Visitations by lucidpantone (@lucidpantone) | E
Summary: Does Robbe and Sanderâs relationship survive into adulthood. This fic takes place in two simultaneously timelines: the past and the present.The present occurs in one entire day. Both timelines are completely out of chronological order. Everything is in clips.You can be dropped in at anytime of the day in any timeline. So clip by clip you will need to piece together what happen to Sander & Robbe and why the present looks the way it does and what happened in the past that got them there.This love story is a journey. So be prepared.In the words of one of our Evenâs. Itâs a complicated love story between complicated people.
This is not a regular fic. The author put so much thought into it, there are so many gems, so many little things that you have to pay attention to because it.all.matters. And there is not one interpretation. Donât you just love when a story forces you to think and use your brain? Cause I do. Not gonna lie: this story hurts, and like the author says themselves, itâs a journey. But oh my god get in because itâs amazing. And the ending is just sjsjsjsjsddhdhsdsgdsg đ€Ż
the night we met by themoongirl (@dearsander) | T
Summary:Â Robbe Ijzermans has a brain that wonât let him sleep, a chest that feels far too heavy and thoughts that never stop.During his first year of college he meets Sander Driesen. Robbe finds what he never went looking for.
A college AU. This fic is a journey of pain and fluff and humor. It has awesome friendships. And sobbe falling in love. And liminal spaces. I read it a while ago so I donât remember it as well as the others but you know what? I still remember that it was great and Iâm lowkey happy I donât remember it that well because now I can go and read it again.Â
The Stars Look Very Different by @peaceoutofthepiecesÂ
Summary: Robbe is bored. Heâs bored of listening to his friends talking about girls, and his other friends making out, and no one ever doing anything. Heâs tired of having to put in all the work, of making his own fun. Heâs tired of feeling nothing so he doesnât have to feel like nothing. His party stunts are pushing the limit, his thrill seeking beginning to worry even his friends, and his carelessness is toeing the line of dangerous.
Heâs a little tired of being âdangerousâ, too.
Sander may or may not have a crush on the older boy with the apparent death wish. He wouldnât mind a little danger.
Once I started reading this fic, each day I was waiting for an update at the edge of my seat which was a feeling I expected from s4 that did not deliver. TSLVD definitely delivered. My favorite sobbe social media AU
Ziggy Stardust Series by skamsnake (@skamsnake) | M/E
A collection of fics taking place throughout the season. Most of them are E rated so be aware of that but itâs a really cool mixture of fluff and spice *fans myself*

The marriage pact - Maple syrup dreams
Henry Cavill x OC Alice - multi-chapter
< Part 21 | Part 22 Maple syrup dreams | Part 23 >
Disclaimer: Just fluff
Authorâs note: Do you know what I just canât get enough of? Whenever Iâm writing my fanfics I keep Tumblr open in the background and thereâs nothing more fun than seeing you, the reader, pop up in my notifications every few minutes or so, liking yet another chapter of a long fic. At some point I even know when youâre having a tea break, or taking a moment to make yourself some food. It makes me, as a writer, feel all gooey with happiness (and I quietly enjoy the fun along with you whenever youâre reading my works, my mind bringing me back to when I was writing that particular chapter you just liked). Ugh! Iâm such a sap today! I love you darling readers! â€ïž
Word count: 2.042
(Link to my Masterlist)
Dear readers,
I am writing this blog from a far, far away place. My fingers a bit numb from the everlasting cold, the taste on my tongue remembering I had far too much Maple Syrup Taffy and my everyday schedule suddenly consisting off shoving snow and rubbing down snowy dog paws.
Me and chocolate cake are in Canada, where weâll be for the next 2 months as heâs working on a movie here. A movie? Chocolate cake? Hold on, you may think. Tell me more about this mysterious chocolate cake that you seem to be getting serious with! Well dear readers, though many of you know by now whom my lovely chocolate cake is, Iâd still like to keep our privacy a little while longer. So let us just say; talk, dark, handsome and a very practical human heater when sleeping together. Especially when you are staying in this freakishly cold country and the actual heater is broken.
Today Iâll be visiting the movie set for the first time, and thereby a part of a new life starts that may have seemed totally ridiculous had you told me Iâd be here a few months ago. But alas(ka), here we go!
Ali
âMorning love.â Henry chuckled, watching me shuffle through the tiny hallway of the trailer, my body clad in probably every sweater and wool sock I could find. âHmmpff..â I grumbled, plopping down beside him on the small bench in the kitchen nook.
It felt a bit like my student days. Living on each others lip, this shared living space no bigger than some 24m2, the heating unit broken and the food..well..not great.
âNeed me to warm you up?â He smiled, gesturing me to scoot over to his lap. Silently nodding I moved up to him, feeling his arms snake around me and pull me snug against his broad and warm chest. âUngh..how can you only wear one sweater and not be cold?â
Henry laughed. âItâs called 4000 kcal a day intake and lots of exercising.â He kissed my cold cheek, his slight stubble scratching my skin. I sniffled and shook my head. âDoes not sound like my cup of tea.â - âDoesnât have to be. Iâll keep you warm.â He hummed, pushing a warm hand beneath my layers of sweaters. âBesides, the maintenance team is going to check on that heater this afternoon, so with a little luck we get home tonight to a nice and warm trailer.â - âGoooood.â I hummed, then squealed, feeling him tickle my skin ever so slightly. âVery good.â He smiled, sniffing my hair before placing a kiss atop my head.
âHmm..In case I havenât mentioned it, Iâm so glad to have you here.â He whispered, nuzzling my hair some more. I chuckled. âOh you only mentioned it about a hundred times or so.â I leaned back a little so I could turn my face towards his, our noses touching.
He was SO warm.
âI wouldnât miss this for the world.â I murmured, laying a pillowy kiss on his lips. âBesides I got some small tasks to help the team out with today, so I donât have to wait for you to come home like the good housewife I am.â I winked, making him snicker. âVery good wifey.â - âI mean, Iâm no wife..but..you know..housegirlfriend sounds weird.â I shrugged, turning to steal a sip of coffee from his large mug and thereby missing the loving glint in his eyes.
He watched me for a few more long moments, enjoying his coffee and staring into the abyss of 6 AM nothingness, Kal still snoring quietly on his dog bed. He didnât want to ruin the moment as it was, but there sure was a whole lot going on in his head.
I was his first girlfriend to join him for such a long movie shoot. And for the first time in a long time he didnât feel so very alone. Didnât feel like it was just another fleeting moment of a good life. This was going to last. He would make sure it would.
âOh are you going to finish that.â I pointed at a leftover bite of his breakfast toast. He laughed aloud. âGo ahead. And, Iâll make myself a mental note to make double the amount of breakfast tomorrow.â
I blushed slightly as I felt his gaze on me, chewing that bit of toast. âSowwyy.â I gulped, quickly swallowing the toast. âYou really donât have to..-â - âNo please Ali. You travelled half the world just to be here with me. The least I can do is make you breakfast while you wrap yourself in not one, not two..but THREE of my sweaters.â
My blush became even more fierce when I felt his chest rumble with mirth.
âMwu..theyâre just really nice sweaters.â I mumbled, pouting at him. âHahah. Oh Ali-bear. I have missed you so.â
Ali-bear? I raised an eyebrow at him as my blush slowly faded. âAli-bear?â I asked with mild confusion. âYes, since you call me Henry-bear and you ARE part of the bear pack now.â He winked, nodding at Kal who was blinking open his eyes, the large Akita stretching out his paws with mild exaggeration. We both laughed. âA-ha..so Iâm a bear now, too?â I looked at him and he shrugged innocently, making me laugh even harder. âOh Henry..you are un-BEAR-able.â Â
â
The days on set were crazy long, crazy cold, but also crazy fun. After a week or so I got into a routine of helping for a few hours on set - moving and cleaning props, cooking meals with the cook, walking Kal -, followed by a few hours of working on my upcoming book and help out the Jersey Gazette with editing articles.
My life in Jersey felt like lightyears away, but I didnât miss it as much as I had anticipated. All I really needed was Henry, silly as it seemed. Be it because we were crazy in love, or because we really had found great soulmates in one another. Even on 14 hour workdays weâd find the time to be there for each other, making life in general really rather pleasant.
Did I have a good idea for one of my stories? Iâd pitch it to Henry. Henry needed to practise some new lines? Iâd play his villanous counterpart. Did either one of us feel a little on edge? Weâd have a quickie in the trailer.
Yes, life was good.
â
âHi mom..hello?..Mom? Can you hear me?â The line crackled and my momâs voice distorted in a wild flurry of screeches and blurred speech. âLetâs try again.â I ended the call and waited for her to call me in turn, this time the line thankfully much more stable.
âOh! There we go!â Mom exclaimed, hearing me giggle. âHello Ali dear. Oh baby we miss you soooo!â
âHi mom. Miss you too! Howâs everything at home?â
âQuite exciting times over here..we finally adopted a dog! A four year old poodle mix, named Cookie. And sheâs a lovely gal. Chewing on some shoelaces as we speak hahaha.â - âQuite lovely indeed haha. So you truly miss me THAT much, hmm? Empty nest?â - âTerribly. So howâs everything over there? Are you okay? Eating enough vegetables?â
Moms will be moms.
âYes mom haha. Plenty of vegetables. And I exercise everyday because it is crazy cold and thereâs practically no other way to get warm..-â - âThe things you do for love, hmm? I remember you experiencing your first snow. How you immediately ran back inside, not liking it one bit. And now you are living in meters of snow!â
âYes. The things we do for love.â I heard the trailer door open behind me and looked over my shoulder, seeing two snowy bears enter, bringing with them a gust of icy cold air.
âClose it..close IT!â I exclaimed, waving at the door when Henry let it open, his arm filled with a number of plastic bags. Smiling, his nose also slightly red with cold, he bumped the door closed with his buttocks, Kal taking the moment to shake off the remains of snow in his fur and launching it at the both of us.
âKALL!!â I warned, the akita panting at me happily, acting as if he didnât do anything wrong.
âShall I call back later dear? Sounds like you have some men to take care of.â My momâs voice sounded in my ear and I slowly nodded, my eyes tracking to Henry as he zipped out of his jacket and started rubbing Kal down with a towel, the dog continuing to circle away from him, thinking it was playtime.
âYea..call you back mom. Looks like Henry could use some help haha. Have fun with Cookie and send pictures!! Love you. Give dad a hug from me.â - âI shall my dear. Kisses back!â And that was the end of the call.
I quickly stood up and helped Henry dry off Kal, our smiles growing as the dog started to bounce up, licking our faces. âWhoâs a good boy?!â I cooed, rubbing him behind the ears, squatting down and allowing the dog to lean into me, going in for a big bear hug. The dog was more than glad to get all this attention, his head ducking down and pressing into my chest, eager to get even more pets. I laughed and looked up at Henry, seeing him get up and moving back to the bags that were now on the small kitchen counter, his hands digging through the contents
âWhatcha got..-?â - âClose your eyes!â He stopped me mid sentence, looking over his shoulder with a mischievous glint in his ocean blues. âOhhhkay..â I said, slightly unsure, settling down so Kal couldnât topple me over, the large Akita folding his large paws over my lap and also looking at Henry.
What was he up to? With a slow breath I closed my eyes, my hand continuing to trace languid circles through his fur. And then I felt something being pushed down on my head. Warm, soft. REALLY soft. A..hat? I wished to open my eyes but Henry clicked his tongue in warning, now picking up my hands and slipping them carefully in what probably were two mittens. My lips curled up in a smile, and I turned my head up expectantly.
âCan I look now..?â I asked quietly. Henry chuckled. âAlmost.â
Then I felt something shift beneath my hands, Kal sitting up slightly.
âOkay, now you can look.â
I opened my eyes and first saw Kal, wearing the cutest purplish blue knit scarf, and then the mittens on my hands. Also knit, but with a teddy-like material inside to keep my fingers nice and toasty. Reaching for my head I could feel a hat there. âWith bear ears.â Henry sniffled, nodding. âI know you donât want me to get you presents. But itâs a bit of a special day.â
âSpecial..day..?â I quirked up an eyebrow, then smiled feeling the two small bear ears on my head. Slowly I lowered my hands again and gave Henry a studious look. âSpecial day.â Henry smiled, sitting down beside me and Kal, his eyes glittering.
âDid I ..miss..something?â I gave him a suspicious look.
Henry chuckled. âPerhaps a calendar.â He reached for my mittens and pulled me to his chest, noses nearly touching. âHappy half year anniversary sweet little icicle of mine.â He said with a smile in his voice, his lips trying to brush against mine, but failing as I gasped in horror. âOOOHâŠI FORGOT.â
Henry laughed all the harder, shoulders shaking and Kal shifting so he could lean into the both us, head squeezed in between our chests. âThatâs quite alright. Now câmhere.â He snickered, pulling my embarrassed face to his, our lips finally melting together.
And how hot and cozy that moment was.
Nothing big and outrageous. No hours of driving just to get to some half decent restaurant. It was just Henry, me and Kal. The three of us enjoying a first home cooked dinner in weeks whilst laughing at the extra warm clothes Henry had gotten me - he could not stand it seeing his girl be cold, and though he loved sharing his sweaters..he did need some of them for his own use too, especially when we went out for our morning runs.
It was sweet, thoughtful, simple and much of what I expected of true love. AÂ maintenance kind of love.
And from here on any next steps in our relationship didnât seem so scary. I had not even given the whole donorship thing a second glance since we had arrived in Canada. This? This might very well be it, you know?Â

...Pretty... Mine
This is pretty much part of a dream of mine. So keep in mind it might not make the most sense or be anything like i usually write lol. I donât know if it worth writing up but I think it is cute and I just kinda want to save it ??? It is pretty much a crossover between Obey Me and A3! It has quite a length so meh lol itâs dumb I think lolÂ
"Ugh, Lucifer," you sighed as you let yourself fall onto your bed after a long day. Feeling for your phone on your soft covers you sigh out loud once more.
" What does he think he is doing?" you ask yourself as you finally feel the icy edge of your phone.
Unlocking it without looking you then open the message he had sent you.
 I'm picking you up at 8:30 next Thursday for dinner. Put on something nice. Miss you - LuÂ
"As if I had anything nice," you grumble as you gently touch his pact mark on the side of your neck. "Idiot" you huff as you trace the outline before getting an idea.
 Inhaling deeply you close your eyes as you let your fingers caress a pact mark over your heart, feeling the warmth from it glowing you smile before whispering to yourself.
 "I will literally RIP-" Asmodeus started before noticing where he was. +
Letting out a deep annoyed groan he turns into his demon form before clearing his throat and swirls around, "Which mortal dares to call upon the avatar of Lust."Â
"I'd say someone that needs help from the BADDEST BITCH IN Â ALL THREE REALMS!", you chimed, jumping out of your bed only to collide against Asmodeus who ran up to hug you. Hugging and squealing you both exchanged hugs and I miss you's.
 "Soooo who is he???", Asmodeus asked as he held your hands.Â
"You are so dumb! Lucifer asked me out for dinner and I obviously have nothing to wear or a sliver of an idea how my make-up and hair will look like and and ughhhhhh", you explained only to feel Asmodeus peck you onto your lips.Â
"Honey, you called the perfect demon and don't you dare think I will go easy on you we are doing the full program," Asmodeus said excitedly squeezing your hands gently.Â
"Will you be a treasure and help me the day of?" you begged, squeezing backÂ
"Duh, I don't half-ass anything. As soon as you have time, call for me and we will get things ready!", the petite demon giggled, wrapping his arms around your neck.Â
---
After a week of visiting almost all stores in all three realms, going to a seamstress and visiting more than one beauty parlor, Thursday had come quicker than expected.
"I brought everything," Asmodeus chirped happily as he hung a large bag onto the back of the door. Looking at its content, Asmodeus dramatically huffed. "I am so hurt that we don't have the same size or else I would steal this,"Â
Grabbing you by the waist, Asmodeus guided you to the vanity he had set up.Â
"Lucky for me because I wouldn't have anything to wear tonight," you laughed taking a sip of your water as you were met with silence you looked into the mirror only to watch him run his fingers through your freshly washed hair.Â
"I can't wait to see what you look like later," Asmodeus mumbled before pressing a kiss onto your cheek, "Let's get started we only have a few hours left,â
---
 As Asmodeus helped you into your dress, you both heard a knock at the door. "Yes?", you called out as Asmodeus closed your zipper.
 "It's me Yuki," Yuki called "Can I come in?"Â
"Uh... yeah sure I am decent," you called while Asmodeus ran his hands over your curves making sure the corset underneath would not leave any lines.Â
"I can't have you going outside looking like a -" Yuki rambled, entering the room suddenly choking on his words as he saw you.Â
"I'm not completely done but pretty much done. I guess?" you chuckled nervously as Yuki approached you to touch the fabric out of the demon realm.Â
"This fabric is perfect for you... but something is missing..." he mumbled walking around you before running out of the room.Â
"Is he okay? I mean I put the outfit together it needs nothing else," Asmodeus huffed folding his arms as you squished his face.Â
"Just wait and see what he thinks is missing.." you teased while he helped you close the clasps of your heels. Bursting back into your room, Yuki held up a golden belt.Â
"This!" he panted, instructing you to stand up so he could wrap it loosely around your waist.Â
"This looks like Lucifer's, to be honest," Asmodeus said as he watched the young boy make a knot into the belt.Â
Walking back Yuki stood next to Asmodeus "Perfect" both whispered in unisonÂ
âReady to show her off?â, Asmodeus asked Yuki.Â
âReady when you are,â Yuki grinned as both boys exited the room before you.Â
âSo since everyone is here in the living room, Hey Lucifer, itâs time to show off our favorite person.â Asmodeus sang as you stood around the corner.Â
âI already know that all of you wonât know how to behave when she comes around the cornerâ Yuki sighed defeated shaking his head.Â
âBet!â, Banri called outÂ
âYou never know how to act right, shut up,â Sakyo said hitting Banri upside the head making Juza chuckle.Â
âPlease donât start reciting a poem,â Azuma teased nudging Homare who just woke Hisoka and Belphegor up with marshmallows.
âI can not determine when inspiration hitâs me,â Homare sang.Â
âI hope inspiration hits him unconscious,â Itaru mumbled focused on his phone playing against Levi as Omi leaned against the wall.Â
âI am kind of excited,â Tsumugi said as he put his head into his hands while a grape flew into Beelzebub's mouth behind him.Â
âOI, non of ya creeps are going to look at âer!â, Mammon said jumping up from his seat only to be hit in the face with a book from Satan âYou are the biggest creep now sit down dumbass,âÂ
âWhy are you guys even here? I donât remember inviting you,â Lucifer sighed, rubbing his temples.
âI bet she looks like a triangle!â, Misumi called out, making you giggle around the corner as everything went silent.Â
âWhat the-â Masumi asked.
âWhy am I cursed with these people,â Sakyo sighed as Lucifer patted him on the back, âI ask myself the same every day,â
"Come in," Asmodeus whispered while Yuki waved for you to come out.Â
Taking one last nervous breath, you gently placed one foot in front of the other, your black heels clicking against the wooden floor.
Rounding the corner, you made your way to the middle of it. Feeling the menâs eyes follow the movement of your hips, you felt as if the already quiet room had suddenly become even quieter.Â
Stopping next to Asmodeus and Yuki you nervously shifted your weight onto one leg, stretching out the other. The menâs eyes grew wide as they watched it splitting the gown allowing them to peak at the semi-sheer black thigh high stocking that was held up by a garter belt, disappearing under the Bordeaux red fabric, draped over your body. Mouthes dropped as eyes followed your curves, which the corset underneath accentuated as you fidgeted with your necklace while you clenched onto your purse with your free hand.Â
Looking over all their faces to see a sliver of reaction, you noticed a marshmallow tumble out of Hisoka's Open mouth. Slowly placing one foot in front of the other you walked over to him smiling as you bent over.
Your hair falling forwards as you looked him into the eye you wiped some fluff from the corner of his cheek before placing your finger into your mouth licking off the sweet gooey candy from your finger.
"You look so cute when you look at me like that." You sighed as you ran your fingers through his hair before cupping his face, his usually half-closed eye now wide open.
".... pretty.." he mumbled as he kept his eye locked on yours.Â
Flashing a smile, you picked up the marshmallow, wanting to put it back into his mouth. After refusing you bit off half of it smiling before hovering the piece close to his mouth. Almost in a trance, he opened his mouth, allowing you to feed him the remaining half.
"Good boy..." you giggled, stroking his cheek.
Looking up you check the clock noticing you have some time left before you had to leave, catching Omi's eye and mouthing you asked if Hisoka had already eaten dinner. Shaking his head, you wink at him indicating that he should make a bowl for Hisoka.
"Do you want to eat dinner love?" You cooedÂ
"No...."
Your lips knowingly curled into a smile before you ask again " Do you want to eat with me?"
Seeing his eye look back and forth between yours, he nodded. Motioning for Omi to bring the bowl of food you sat down on the table in front of him.
Holding the bowl you gently blew onto the food before hovering the spoon in front of him, as expected he shook his head denying the warm meal on the spoon. Remembering what had happened seconds before, you ate first before scooping up another portion.
"Now be a good boy.." you mumbled, watching as he opened his mouth ready to eat from the same spoon.
"He...he's actually eating ..." Banri whispered, impressed as everyone watched you feed yourself and then Hisoka.
After emptying the bowl, you gently placed it next to you before leaning towards him.
"Such a good boy, you ate everything up," you tittered surprised at the fact that all you had to do to get him to eat healthily was to share your food.
"...kiss" Hisoka demanded as he watched you get up from the table you sat on. Giggling you bent over your noses almost touching as you fixed him with your eyes.
"Where?" you asked in a hushed tone.
You watched as Hisoka pointed at his lips, slightly parting them as he looked up. Smirking, you traced the outline of his face with your fingertips.
"You sneaky boy." you chuckled before pressing your soft lips against the ivory skin of his cheek, holding the kiss for a few seconds longer than you should.
"You're so cute when you look at me like that." you purred into his ear.
âWe got to go,â Lucifer snapped impatiently
Looking into Hisokaâs deep green eyes once more, you watched as his cheeks turned a softer shade of pink as he sat in silence next to Homare. Turning to leave, you suddenly felt a hand wrap around your wrist and tug you back.
"Don't go..." He said roughly as you lost your balance on your heels plopping down into his lap. You noticed the murmurs of the others watching suddenly became louder.
Surprised by his reaction you cooed, "But I have to Lucifer invited me after all, "Â
Looking over at Lucifer squinted his eyes before wrapping an arm around your waist "No... Not with him."
Watching Lucifer narrow his eyes you laughed, "Well with whom else? "Â
Silence filled the room before you heard him mutter one word that made your heart skip a beat
"Me"Â

Sleep, Unnecessary Sleep.
So uh Iâm currently studying for a bio test tomorrow and decided to write a short drabble bc I havenât written anything in awhile.
Everlark.
All characters belong to Susanne Collins.
All mistakes are mine. Enjoy:)
***
âKatniss, wake up.â
The girl of 18 lifts her head from the wooden, stained desk. She is tired. And not just the tired when you have been at school all day, but the tiredness that follows you like a thief. The kind of tired that wraps you in a warm cloak and coos you to sleep. Her face has indents most likely from the stack of papers on her desk explaining the difference between meiosis and mitosis and packed with Punnett squares.
âKatniss...get...up,â the small voice grunts as she tries to pull her sister out of the grey office chair.
âUghhhhhhhhhhh,â Katniss groans, âDo I have too?â
She receives no reply and suspects Prim has already left the room. Sluggishly, Katniss Everdeen ambles to her cluttered room, turning on the light blindly.
After getting dressed,in sweatpants and a t-shirt(of course), she eats breakfast and pushes herself out the door. The walk to school isnât terribly long but not having a car to drive as a senior sucks. That leaves her 2 options, the bus(ugh) or walking. âOh wellâ, she thinks to herself.
***
âBrainless, did you go to hell and come back?â, her friend, Johanna, asks sarcastically.
Ignoring her, Katniss reaches her locker, in all its pukish brown glory, and reaches in to grab some books. She fells strong, muscular arms wrap around her slender frame, fingers interlocking. This makes her give off a jubilant smile.
âHey, babe,â someone with an almost gravelly voice mumbles into her shoulder. She feels feather-like kisses on her neck making her want to moan in delight.
Katniss Everdeen, the ice queen, literally melts in his arms. She smells fresh bread and cinnamon causing her mouth to water. As she turns around, she sees those floppy blonde curls and crystal blue eyes, drawing her in.
âGood morning, beautiful,â he says.
âHey, handsome,â she replies.
Before he says anything else she stops his lips with a kiss. He then reaches down and grabs a paper bag almost leaking oils and she immediately knows that he brought her cheese buns, her favorite. Giving him a light peck, she snatches the bag and runs through the hall, laughing emphatically as she went. Katniss reaches into the bag and pulls out a gooey cheese bun, savoring itâs taste as soon as it reaches her mouth. She was definitely in love with these buns.
He reaches her and spins her around, causing Katniss to almost drop her pastry. She taps his nose as punishment and then wraps her fingers around his.
He kisses the side of her head and then pauses before saying something. âDid you sleep well last night, Katniss?â
âNo, of course Mrs. Trinkett dropped a test bomb on us yesterday,â she said with exhaustion in her voice.
âAw, Iâm sorry, love.â
âItâs ok.â
âThanks for walking me to class.â
âOf course, Katniss. See you at lunch,â he says with a short kiss on the forehead.
***
When lunch rolls around, Katniss finds him under the oak tree. She crawls into his lap and nuzzles his neck.
âI wish I could freeze this moment forever,â he says.
âMhmm,â Katniss replies while dozing into a sweet sleep.
An hour later, he wakes her up with a languid kiss and tells her itâs time to go to next period.
As Katniss opens her eyes, she knows that the man in front of her, her Peeta, is her soulmate. She simply canât imagine life without him. Peeta. Even the name sounds captivating rolling off her lips. Not only did she catch up on sleep, but she was with the man she loved. The object of her desire. Her heartâs devotion.
No matter how tired she was, one thing was for certain, she was his and he was hers.
And thatâs all that matters.

Witcher Crew and Reader have a bonfire maybe? Modern or Canon is totally up to you, i just think singing campfire songs, drinking, and roasting food is a fun wholesome time and ugh now I want a bonfire. Also, relationships/platonic is up to you as well. Theyre all wonderful
Fandom: The Witcher Pairing: Friendship Is Magic Word Count: 958 Rating: G Taglist: @heroics-and-heartbreakâ @whatevermonkeyâ @mycat-is-mylove @mynamesoundslikesherlockâ @kemmastanâ @magic-multicolored-miracleâ @writingstudentâ @mlleecrivaineâ @coffee-and-storiesâ @amirahiddlestonâ @ultracolorfulnerdcollectionâ @astouractâ @your-not-invisible-to-me @daydreamer-in-training @morelikebyesexual a/n: I would also love a bonfire. Iâve only been to one and it was weird cuz I barely knew anyone. Someday I will try again!
The towering fire bathed your skin in warmth and a soft, golden glow. The sound of wood crackling and burning was so loud it nearly drowned out the sound of Jaskierâs singing. He sat well back from the fire, fearful that errant sparks might catch on his guitar, but even from where he sat he could feel the fireâs warmth. The bonfire had been your idea and you were still shocked that Geralt had agreed. Usually any side trips were meant to happen for the sole purpose of resting and then carrying on your way, but he had conceded when you asked. Well, asked was maybe misleading. You may have suggested that it was practically illegal to pass by the coast without having a good bonfire, especially after youâd learned that both Jaskier and Ciri had yet to experience one. Youâd stopped by a little gas station on the way, overpaying for hot dogs and buns and sâmore ingredients which thoroughly baffled Geralt. Once at the site youâd helped gather sticks and Yennefer set them ablaze swiftly. The mage now sat next to the witcher on the other side of the bonfire, also gazing appreciatively at it and also listening to Jaskierâs music which you could only tell by the way they swayed or tapped their feet slightly in tune.
âItâs strangely pretty,â Ciri remarked. You looked to the side where the girl sat with her hands clasped around her legs, chin resting on her knees as she gazed at the bonfire.
âI think so,â you mused.
âY/N,â Geraltâs voice called. You walked over to his side of the bonfire, Ciri following and Jaskier pausing his singing to join, making sure he wasnât left out of whatever was going on.
âYes?â you asked.
âIs there a certain time one is supposed to eat the things we bought? Itâs your strange American ritual,â he said. You rolled your eyes and gave him a wry smile.
âOh because in Britain they donât have things like fire or marshmallows,â you teased.
âHmm.â
âNo we can have it anytime but first we have to find the right sticks,â you explained. Ciri wrinkled her nose in disgust and confusion.
âSticks?â
âYeah! Some people use metal skewers but itâs not the same,â you insisted. The girl threw her hands up in surrender but you could see a dubious look remained in place.
âDoes this work?â Jaskier asked, holding up a thing branch heâd scavenged. You considered it carefully.
âNo it needs to be a bit thicker. Come on, weâll find some.â
Geralt and Yennefer stayed by the fire as the three of you wandered off, Yen smiling serenely as Ciriâs laughter floated above the crackling.
âIt was sweet of you to agree,â she said, giving Geralt a soft look. He glanced at her sideways, a small smile turning up the corner of his mouth as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her in close, fending off the chill from the ocean that was carried over on a breeze.
âCiri should have these experiences,â he said simply.
âOh yes, just Ciri. No one else who missed out on them,â Yennefer teased. He didnât dignify the remark with an answer but she saw the way his amber eyes lit up with interest when Ciri came into view, triumphantly thrusting a small bundle of sticks into the sky.
It didnât take long before the five of you were huddled together, hot dogs skewered on sticks, the smell of cooking meat now joining the smoke and salt water.
âWhatâs in one of these?â Jaskier asked.
âSome questions we donât ask, Jaskier,â you replied enigmatically. He blanched slightly but Ciri giggled.
âI saw the packaging. It said it was 100% beef,â she pointed out.
âOh darn,â you sighed, âYou saw through my clever ruse. I had you going there for a minute though.â
âJust for that I may not even play you the song I wrote just for this evening,â Jaskier replied with a haughty sniff, quickly pulling his hot dog out of the fire at the sight of a nice char forming on it.
âOh gods no nothing but that,â Geralt said dryly.
Jaskierâs threats were empty though and as soon as heâd finished his hot dog (which he compared to a sumptuous feast fit for a king, he took up his guitar and began playing a song about a summerâs evening and a roaring fire. You were pretty sure the part about the hot dogs was improvised but he didnât miss a beat and you nearly nodded off until Ciri said,
âWhat were the marshmallows for?â
Your eyes snapped open and you quickly speared a mallow onto every stick (even Geraltâs though he protested that he didnât like sweets). The smell of caramelizing sugar as the marshmallows roasted was mouthwatering and you enjoyed watching to see how done people enjoyed theirs. Ciri was impatient and pulled hers out after it was barely golden, quickly mashing it onto the chocolate and graham crackers and taking a big bite before anyone elseâs had finished. The look of sheer bliss on her face sealed things for Geralt and he took his next, some flecks of burnt sugar on it in places. You and Jaskier pulled yours out at the same time and in the end Yenneferâs was the most charred and gooey. As soon as he finished eating Jaskier pulled out a notebook and you knew he was writing a new song inspired by the food youâd had. Five minutes later as you lay on your back gazing up at the stars he began to play and you fell asleep lulled by the warm fire, full stomach, and Jaskierâs voice proclaiming the virtues of the humble mallow.

Merry Christmas, @cryptomoon!
Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy!
Read on AO3
*****
Figure it Out
Stiles didnât run into the sheriffâs department so much as stomp, carrying a bat and duffle bag filled with supplies of every kindâranging from cold medicine to chains in cases of accidental lycanthropy.
Jordan met him by the front desk. âHeâs in his office,â he said tersely. âWe donât know whatâs going on, but he hasnât spoken a word all day, heâs forwarding all calls to the rest of us, and then forty minutes agoâŠâ He showed Stiles his phone. âHe sent this.â
âHeâs sending out memos?â Stiles nodded. âOkay. Keep everyone away from his office. If you donât hear anything in ten, I might need backup.â He checked his duffleâthe cold and flu meds were at the top, mixed in with tissues and large wound gauze pads and suture kits, sequestered away from the wolfsbane and mountain ash in sealed jars.
âGot it.â Jordan retreated to where the rest of the deputies were hovering.
Stiles squared his shoulders and went into the office marked âSheriffâ.
John was at his desk, reading glasses perched on his nose while he squinted at his computer. He glanced up when Stiles walked in and winced.
âWhatâs going on?â Stiles demanded. âWhat happened?â
His dadâs face sort ofâŠtwitched, mouth opening as if to respond, before he twisted his lips and grabbed a pen.
âOh my god. Okay. Justâwrite it down and tell meâis it a cold, or some horrible injury? Did you sell your voice to a sea witch?â
John made a face at him and held up the paper heâd been writing on. âNOT A COLD. I CAN STILL TALK. MIGHT HAVE ENCOUNTERED A WITCH.â
âWell, good to know you write just like you text,â he muttered. âOkay, if you can still talk, why donât you? And how do you know you encountered a witch?â
John sighed wearily, like these were unnecessary and inconvenient questions.
Stiles threw his hands up. âOkay, how?â
John turned his monitor around; he had the department security footage pulled up. The timestamp on the screen was from around 7 that morning. John was at a desk helping a woman with some paperwork, smiling as he spoke to her. Nothing unusual happened until she was leaving, when she shook his hand for a second too long and he flinched before she let go.
John tapped the desk, drawing Stilesâs attention to his newest note. âAFTER THAT, I TOOK A CALL AND THIS HAPPENED.â He sighed heavily and lifted his office wastebasket.
It was brimming with flowers of all colors and types, some crushed, others whole.
âUhâŠhang on.â Stiles frowned at the flowers. âFlowers appear when you talk?â
John grimaced, shook his head, and sighed again. âNotâŠexactly,â he said, fumbling over the lily that fell from his mouth. Something thunked heavily onto his desk with it. He lifted a small, red gem and showed Stiles.
Stilesâs jaw hung open like a broken hinge. âUh, uhâŠokay. Wait, hang on, I needâŠbackupâŠâ Scott was out of town, Lydia was busy⊠He grimaced and poked his head out of Johnâs office. âHey, Jordan could you getâbuh!â
Derek crossed his arms, glowering at Stiles from beside the door.
âWhat, do you just eavesdrop everywhere?â
Derekâs eyes narrowed; he was somewhat rumpled, though he still wore that damn uniform well.
Ugh. âFine, since youâre here anyway, I need yourâŠhelp. Come on.â
Derek sighed through his nose and followed Stiles into the office.
Stiles flapped a hand back at Derek. âShow him the video, maybe we can find her with his-â
John was scribbling furiously before Stiles even finished speaking. âHE GAVE HER THE TICKET I WAS HELPING HER WITH.â
Stiles whipped around, but Derek was gaping, too. âHow did you not know this?â
Derek shrugged, looking incredibly uncomfortable.
âOkay, I donâtâI donât understand, are you both cursed? I mean, why not curse the guy who gave you a ticket instead of the guy helping you with it?â
Derek looked at John sharply, brows furrowed.
John gestured limply at the flowers.
Derek frowned harder.
Stiles yanked at his hair. âI havenât heard of this curse, what is it doing to you? Oh, god, what if it-â
âHe isnât cursed,â Derek said suddenly, âI am.â As he spoke, no less than three lizards tumbled from his mouth. He caught them before they hit the ground, clutching them in folded fingers.
Stiles dropped his hands as a memory stirred from the deep recesses of his brain, the pieces slotting together like a puzzle. He felt his mouth twitch, fought it, and ultimately lost. He laughed his ass off. âOh my god,â he gasped. âDerek, you were so rude to a witch that she gave you the curse of Toads.â He snickered and looked at John. âAnd you were apparently so nice she gave you the opposite. Itâs a fairy tale curse,â he said, voice trembling. âDad, youâre the Nice Daughter,â he giggled.
One of the lizards escaped Derekâs grasp and Stiles started laughing again.
âIf you donât stop,â Derek snarled, spewing frogs, âI swear, Iâm going to-â He hiccupped out a python and fell silent.
âThis is no laughing matter,â John tried, nuggets of gold and silver scattering over his desk. âWe canât exactly wander around like this.â Emeralds, sapphires, and roses dropped into the pile of gold and silver. âI donât know enough ASL to get by for long.â
Stiles wiped his eyes. âFine, fine, donât get all worked up.â He bit his lip to keep from laughing again; the office was filled with flowers and lizards, gems and frogs. It was amazing. âJustâŠdonât talk. Give me the witchâs info so I can try to figure out how to break this curse.â
John wrote, âTAKE DEREK WITH YOU.â
âI got it, I donât need help.â
Derek snorted.
Stiles glared at him. âHey, she cursed you. I doubt seeing you is going to give her the warm and fuzzies.â
Derek lifted a brow and smirked, wide and arrogant.
Unimpressed, Stiles drawled, âI said warm and fuzzies, not hot and gooeys. She clearly doesnât like you. If I take you with, sheâll probably make your curse worse or get pissed off.â
John dropped his head in his hands.
âI am coming with you,â Derek growled, enunciating carefully. Snakes slipped from his mouth.
âFine, fine, justâstop.â Stiles looked around. âUh, letâs, um, go get the witchâs address. You have that from her license, right?â
Derek nodded, so Stiles hustled him out.
âHey, what about these-â John coughed, and something thumped heavily.
âIâm sure animal control can help, Dad, good luck!â He shoved at Derekâs shoulder to get him moving faster.
Darian Vanderpo, the witch, lived in one of the nicer suburbs in Beacon Hills and drove a red sports car.
Stiles tsked lightly. âIâm guessing she was going about eighty in a forty?â
Derek nodded seriously.
âAnd then, while giving her the ticket, you were lecturing her about the dangers of hurtling around in a three thousand pound hunk of metal and gasoline?â
He nodded again. âRoad safety isnât a joke!â he snapped, and two lizards scampered free.
Stiles snorted. âThatâs so funny coming from you. Catch them,â he added, pointing at the lizards. âIâll be right back.â
âStiles-!â
He jumped out, slamming the door on Derekâs swearing. He fully expected the witch to dramatically sense him and appear on the front porch or something, so when he made it to the door unimpeded, he was a little surprised, unsure. He knocked, because what else was he supposed to do?
âUgh, what?â The door swung open, revealing a glowering woman with a robe on, her nose red and chafed, eyes watering.
âUhâŠâ Stiles glanced back and swore when he saw Derek coming. âYouâyou cursed my, er, friend. You need to undo it.â
She stalked toward him.
He narrowed his eyes, ready to meet her nose to nose, and was thrown unceremoniously to the yard.
âI donât have to do shit. Get off my lawn.â
Derek helped Stiles to his feet, fangs bared.
Stiles glared at her. âYou canât just go around cursing people because youâre mad you didnât get your way.â
âWhy not?â She grinned and lifted a hand.
Derek shoved Stiles out of the way, knocking him into the grass again, and braced his legs.
Darian pursed her lips, gaze flicking between them. She rolled her eyes and pulled a tissue out of her pocket, wiping her nose. âUgh, whatever. If you bring me the ingredients for the counter curse, Iâll break it.â
Stiles got up, carefully testing his bruised hip before putting weight on it. He shot Derek a dark look. âWhat are they?â
âJust three things.â She fluttered the fingers of her free hand; a rolled up piece of paper dropped into her palm. âHere. Bring these to me, and Iâll break the curse.â
Derek took a step, but she backed away, glaring.
Stiles took it from her. âOn my dad, too?â
Her brows furrowed. âYour dad?â
Fuck. âThe sheriff.â
Her face cleared. âThat isnât a curse. Itâs a blessing.â
âUh-huhâŠâ
She rolled her eyes. âFine, that, too. But Iâm insulted.â She stomped back to her house. At the slam of her door, Stiles found himself in the jeep, seated in the driverâs seat clutching the paper sheâd given them, as if heâd never gotten out.
Derek was in the backseat, strapped in with three seatbelts. âShut up,â he muttered when Stiles laughed at him. A frog landed in his lap.
Stiles texted John that he and Derek were handling it and drove back to his place. He was dying to read the ingredients, but he had a feeling Darian wasnât the most patient of witches, and sheâd made it pretty clear that she wanted them away from her.
Stiles shooed Derek to the couch. âStay there, donât talk, Iâll be three seconds.â He ran to the bathroom for the mop bucket he kept with his cleaning supplies, and thrust it against Derekâs chest. âThere. Keep your critters contained.â
âThanks,â he muttered.
Stiles unrolled the paper and started reading. ââBathe in living water, and once cleansed, collect Neritesâ shield. Dry it out in the light of the moon.ââ He looked up, frowning, but Derek gestured impatiently for him to go on. He rolled his eyes and looked back at the paper. âI canât read the rest.â He tilted the page, squinting.
Derek snatched the paper out of his hands. Instead of trying to read it, he lifted it to his face. He scoffed and thrust it back at Stiles. âShe spelled it. We probably have to complete the first thing before we can read the rest.â He caught a toad before it could escape the bucket.
âGreat. What the fuck is Neritesâ shield?â He pulled out his phone and leaned against the side of the couch, tapping quickly. âHeâs a shellfish,â he muttered. âThatâd have to be abalone, wouldnât it?â
Derek blinked at him, then smirked. âI forgot how quick you are at that.â He grimaced deeply as more frogs came loose.
âUh-huh. Hereâs hoping thatâs actually what she meant. Let me go get you some water.â Stiles left the room at a quick clip, filling a cup at the dispenser, and fortifying himself. âOkay, frog mouth, letâs get to work.â
Derek glared at him.
âWhat? Weâve got to go to the ocean, get a shell, and dry it out in the light of the moon. So we have to get it before dark,â he explained slowly, annoyed. âSo it can dry all night.â
âOh. Alright.â The lizard that scampered out with those words had blood on it this time.
Stiles caught it. âDid you bite him?â he demanded, but it didnât have any visible injuries.
Derek shook his head, looking puzzled.
Stiles released it into the bucket. âCome on,â he said slowly. âWe should go so we have time.â He updated John and checked that he was doing okay before they hit the road.
They swung by Derekâs apartment so he could change, then headed out of town with towels, the paper, and Derekâs newly emptied bucket.
The beach was fairly empty when they arrivedâconsidering it was December and about 53 degrees, this wasnât that surprising.
âThis is going to suck,â Stiles muttered as they walked out into the sand.
Derek shook his head. âIâll get in the water. Youâll freeze,â he added.
âI can handle it. Besides, I think Iâm supposed to do it. She wouldnât let you take it, remember?â
âShe doesnât like me, and Iâm a werewolf she just cursed. She was probably worried Iâd rip her throat out.â
âWellâŠâ
He glowered.
Stiles patted his shoulder. âYou stay up here so you can warm me up when I get out, lizard lips.â
âI hope you step on seaweed,â Derek hissed.
Stiles laughed as he yanked his shoes off. âWell, youâll certainly know if I do. The code word will be, âArgh!â and I will levitate.â He tossed his shirt on his socks and shoes, followed by his jeans. âOh, god, this is going to suck.â He sucked in a huge breath, embraced the goosebumps all over his body, and ran. âOh, holy motherfucking balls,â he cursed as he hit the water, but he didnât let himself stop. âDear purple licking son of a bitching hag, oh my god, I hope she suffocates on her own snot.â He got in up to his ribs and dunked himself under, then looked back at the shore. Derek was bent over his knees, laughing and just pouring reptiles and toads from his face.
âDick!â Stiles shouted. He was shivering so hard, his jaw didnât want to open, so he took the opportunity to wonder how long he had to stay in the water. The paper had just said âbatheâ. He halfheartedly went under again, longer so that his hair was fully saturated, then bounced back up. He shuddered, swearing, and wiped water out of his eyes. Now he just had to miraculously find an abalone shell. Sure. Did it need to be whole? There were plenty of fractured ones around.
He spent three minutes searching, then started back to shore. âIâll t-try again later, Iâm too c-cold. I have toâow!â Heâd stepped on something. Without pausing to think, he curled his toes around it and lifted it to his pruned, half-frozen hands. âYes!â
On shore, Derek grabbed a towel and ran for the water. He met Stiles in the shallows, wrapping him up tight in a warm towel.
âHowâd you keep it so warm?â he wondered dazedly, letting Derek usher him to the jeep.
âI put it under my shirt.â He shoved Stiles into the jeep and cranked the heat.
Stiles used the edge of the towel to wipe his eyes. âI got the shell, go get the paper.â He sniffled. âI canât believe how easily I found that shell, that was awesome.â
Derek just nodded. He flipped another towel over Stilesâs head, scrubbing over his hair for a second before grabbing the paper and unrolling it. âSays-â
A frog landed on Stilesâs lap, making him flinch. âDude! Whereâs your bucket?â
He grimaced and backed away, holding the instructions out to him.
Stiles took the paper between two fingers. ââBurn jasmine, bay, and wintergreen, waft in circular motions, and put ashes into moon-dried shell.â So we have to wait until after itâs dry.â
Derek held his hands up near his mouth. âWe could go get the herbs we need now so when we can use them, we have them.â He dumped all of the critters into the bucket at his feet.
Stiles nodded. âLet me get dressed, thereâs one of those new age-y incense shops up the road, next to that gas station that should have all of those.â He squeezed the towel tighter around himself for a moment before throwing it off.
They decided to stay near the beach, just in case the third set of instructions required anything nearby. They put the shell on the hood of the jeep and Derek made an illegal campfire for them to keep warm as it got dark. This left them in awkward silence, eating from family sized bags of Doritos and fending off the seagulls brave enough to try to take Derekâs food.
Stiles wasted time texting John an update, filling Scott in, and browsing social media, but it wasnât like he couldnât multitask, and it was awkward just sitting there. âSoâŠhowâre things as a deputy?â
Derek lifted his brows.
Stiles shrugged. âItâs just weird, seeing you with a real, actual job, let alone as law enforcement.â
âThanks,â he said dryly.
âYou didn't exactly make a good first impression, you set the bar pretty low.â
âWhile you decided to throw the whole bar out.â
Stiles sneered at him. âCanât fail to meet expectations if there arenât any.â
Derek laughed. âDonât be stupid, you donât fail at anything.â He turned away swiftly, flicking a Dorito at a seagull.
Stiles looked down, smiling to himself.
They took turns napping in the jeep until, while Derek was sleeping, dawn began to creep up on them. Stiles figured heâd leave Derek to sleep while he was burning them and grabbed the herbs. Heâd bundled them together after theyâd bought them, so he just snatched the lighter he kept in his duffle and crept away from the jeep. He glanced back, but Derek was still asleep in the passenger seat, head tipped against the glass, fogging up the window.
Stiles lit the bundle and grabbed the shell. He flipped it over so the cupped part was facing upwards and began wafting. They didnât burn as quickly as heâd expected, a slow smolder with lots of smoke, which made it easy for him to follow the circles with the shell, catching the ashes as he went.
They were half burned when Derek lurched out of the jeeps, boots sliding in the sand, and caught Stiles around the waist, yanking him off balance and burning the tips of his fingers.
âHey, quit it!â He managed to keep from spilling the ashes by planting his feet. âWhatâre you doing? Stop!â
Derek let go, panting, and stepped around in front of him. He glanced at the burning herbs in his hand. âWhat the hell, Stiles,â he snapped.
âExcuse me, did you want to keep spitting up pythons for the rest of your life?â
His nose twitched, but he didnât respond.
Stiles looked at the smoldering herbs in his hand, burning toward his already overheated fingertips. âOh. Sorry. I thought youâd sleep through it.â He avoided Derekâs gaze by focusing on wafting the smoke in circles.
Derek muttered something and stalked away.
Stiles tapped the last of the ashes into the shell and leaned into the jeep to put it in a cup holder so they wouldnât blow away. He caught up to Derek by the water, shoving his hands deep into his hoodie pockets. âHey, Iâm sorry. I thought I could get it done before you woke up.â
Derek shook his head. âThanks. I was confused,â he added defensively, and a lizard fell from his mouth. They watched it scamper over his boot and then out of sight. âThatâs all.â
Stiles nodded. âYeah, totally. You were sleeping, couldnât have known.â He jerked his thumb over his shoulder. âLetâs go get that third ingredient so you can throw away your promising future career of providing the entire reptilian cast for Snakes on a Plane 2.â
Derek kicked water at him, making him howl with fury, and raced him back to the jeep.
The paper was stashed in the middle console, rolled up around a pen. Stiles glanced over it and grunted.
âWhat?â Derek caught the frog before it could hit the ground.
ââRiver clay mixed with the blood of the gatherer. Mix with the ashes and put all in the shell.â Ugh, I knew I was gonna have to do something gross for this.â
âWhy you?â Derek snapped.
âBlood of the gatherer, dude. I got the shell, I bought the herbsâand Iâll definitely be getting the river clay.â He glowered at the instructions. âGross. At least it probably doesnât need much blood.â
âNo,â Derek muttered, âwouldnât want that.â He sputtered slightly over a little green snakes with red spatters all over it.
Stiles stiffened, eyeing it while Derek didnât seem to notice or care. âJustâŠget your phone and find us a river, dude.â He shook his head and went to his side of the car. He leaned against the door to check on John, paranoid that he, too, was spitting up blood.
John merely sent a photo of his desk, which was piled with gems of various colors and sizes, gold, silver, and flowers.
âCongrats,â Stiles responded, âyou can retire now.â
John didnât find that very funny.
âFound one,â Derek called. âTurning on the-â he coughed- âGPS.â
Stiles glanced at him through the windows and wondered if he suspected what Stiles suspectedâthat the curse was doing more harm than just inconveniencing him.
The river was off some obscure hiking trail and was very small, but it was in fact marked âForthead Riverâ so he guessed it counted. He gathered the clay into an empty cup heâd had in the backseat.
The shell wouldnât hold nearly that much, but he figured having extra wouldnât hurt, just in case they messed up. Then came the real problem.
âNo. Absolutely not.â
Stiles rolled his eyes. âSo itâs okay for you to ask me to cut your arm off, but I canât ask you to cut my arm a little?â
Derek glared. âWould you let that go? And itâs different.â
âHow? Because it isnât you?â
âYouâre human,â he said, spitting a frog out without even flinching, which was frankly impressive. âIâm not asking you to bleed for me, and Iâm certainly not cutting you.â
âOne, Iâve bled for you before, and worse, and two, youâre being unreasonable.â
âHowâs that?â
âI donât have anything sharp enough to draw blood and you know how I feel about blood, so youâreâyouâre beingâmean!â
Derekâs jaw dropped. âMean? Are you in third grade?â
âYep. Youâre being mean.â Stiles pointed at the reptiles and frogs at their feet. âNow, do you want to stop that or not?â He walked back to the jeep before Derek could answer. âI have bandages and peroxide, weâll be fine.â He smiled when he heard Derek following him.
âHow much do we need?â he muttered while Stiles was digging through his bag for the bandages.
âUhh, weâll go with enough to mix with a bit of the clay.â Stiles shrugged. âI donât know how witchcraft works.â
âUh-huh.â
Stiles took his top two layers off and rolled his sleeve up. âOkay, I have another cup here-â
âWhy?â
â-because Iâm prepared for everything, so weâll try to get the blood in that, add a little bit of the clay at a time, and see what happens.â He moved so he was sitting in the jeep and held his arm out. âOkay. Hit me with your best shot.â
Derek made a disgusted face at him.
Stiles shrugged. âWhat? Iâm nervous. I could just swoon if youâd prefer.â
He just rolled his eyes and took Stilesâs arm, turning it gently as he chose a spot.
Stiles averted his gaze. âUm, so, make it, yâknow, deep enough to bleed, so we only have to go once. But, obviously, not deep enough that Iâll need stitches,â he squeaked.
Derek muttered something, and sharp pain lit up Stilesâs arm just a second before numbness spread. âSorry, I tried to do it at the same time.â His thumb pressed gently into the bend of Stilesâs elbow, rubbing. âGonna need the cup.â
Stiles passed it over without looking. The only thing worse than blood was his own blood. He felt Derek pressing and prodding at the cut to coax more blood free and hoped they wouldnât need to make another cut.
âI think thatâs enough,â Derek said in a strangled voice. He set the cup beside the tire and turned around to cough out two snakes. They were both bloodied.
Stiles grimaced and turned his attention to cleaning and covering the cut on his arm. It was smaller than heâd been expecting, stirring concern that it wasnât enough to make the spell work. He grabbed the cup of clay and a butter knife, hopping out to combine and stir.
Only a little would fit in the shell, even tightly packed, so theyâd certainly gotten enough blood. Stiles wrinkled his nose as he studied the poor shell. âUgh, I hope sheâs not gonna make you eat this or anything.â
âGross.â Derek looked at the shell cupped in Stilesâs palm and grimaced.
âAt least you wonât be spitting up Kermit every time you speak anymore,â Stiles pointed out. âNot that you talk that much anyway.â
âWho can get a word in edgewise when youâre around?â
âI let people speak when they have something worthwhile to say, and since youâre currently spewing snakes like the Chamber of Secrets, wellâŠâ
âThere was only one snake in the Chamber of Secrets,â Derek said after a second.
âYeah, that wasnât my best work.â Stiles jerked his shoulder. âCome on, I need some coffee so I can insult you properly.â
They were halfway to town when Derek said, âThank you.â
Stiles glanced at him. âFor what? You bought the coffee.â
âFor helping me.â
âOnly the best for the fine deputies of Beacon County,â Stiles said lightly.
âAre you a faerie?â Derek blurted.
Stiles frowned. âUhâwhat? In what context?â
âFey. The Fair Folk. Because you have this maddening habit of just never accepting thanks and Iâd like to know if you have fey magic before I strangle you.â
After a few long moments of silence, Stiles said, âYouâre welcome,â as casually as he could.
They both started laughing hard enough that he had to pull over for a minute.
John looked dubious when they met outside of Darianâs house. âYou two look like youâre in good spirits.â He had a bucket of his own to catch the flowers and gems he was dropping.
âJust ridiculously tired,â Stiles chirped.
âAnd caffeinated.â
John shook his head and shrugged, waiting beside the jeep as they climbed out.
Stiles took his duffle bag up with him to ring the bell, since he wasnât sure how she would react this time. John and Derek stood to his right, tense.
Darian looked like she was still sick; she bared her teeth when she saw them. âWhat?â she croaked.
Stiles held the shell out to her. âI got everything you asked for.â
âWhat?â she snapped.
âFor breaking my friendâs curse,â he said through his teeth. âYou said if we got this stuff, youâd-â
âRight.â She snatched the shell, looking shifty, and set it on something out of sight next to the door. She frowned, shooting Derek a disgusted look. âAll you had to do was kiss, you morons.â
Derek and John looked at each other with open horror.
Stiles felt revulsion run so deeply through him that he couldnât do more than wheeze.
âGoddess,â Darian muttered. âNot him, the other one.â She rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers. âThere. Curse gone.â She turned her head away to cough violently into her elbow.
âIs mine gone, tooâWell,â John said, looking pleased, âguess that answers that. Thanks.â
Stiles narrowed his eyes. âDerek?â
âI think Iâm good,â he said, unimpeded by reptiles. He looked puzzled, staring at Darian.
âYou didnât actually need any of that stuff, did you?â Stiles growled.
Darian shot him a flat look. âFor that curse? No.â She scoffed. âWhat kind of witch do you think I am that I canât break a curse I cast without tools?â She sniffled and wiped her nose on her balled up tissues, then looked over at Derek. âYou. Youâre incredibly rude and apparently pretty dense.â
âHey,â Stiles snapped, âyouâre the one cursing people because you have a cold.â
John shifted his feet awkwardly, like he wasnât sure if he should try to diffuse the situation or not.
Darian studied Stiles, then stepped over to Derek, lifting a finger and pointing at him like a scolding teacher. âPeople donât wade into the ocean in December, hold fire, and bleed for just anybody. Get it together.â
Stiles darted a quick, nervous look at him, and winced when he saw the blank expression on his face; his cheeks had reddened, eyebrows had drawn down, but that was it. He swallowed.
Darian hmphed and stalked back to the door.
Stiles said, âWait!â without thinking it through. When she turned toward him, he dug the cold/flu meds out of his duffle bag. âHere. Thanks.â He shoved it into her hands.
She looked at the box, frowning, so they all made a quick retreat while she was distracted.
âWell,â Stiles said cheerily at the cars. âThat was awesome, glad itâs done. Dad, you can drive Derek, right? Great!â He jumped in the jeep and drove off before they could answer.
Unfortunately, recently cursed or not, Derek was still a werewolf, and beat Stiles to his apartment. He was sitting outside when Stiles got there. âI told your dad that I didnât need a ride,â he said casually.
âI guess,â Stiles muttered. He shifted his weight from foot to foot, rubbed a hand over his head, and sighed irritably. âWhat?â
âWhat?â Derek repeated.
âWhat do you want? Youâre justâŠsitting there.â
Derek stood.
âNot what I meant, asshole.â He scuffed his shoe, then shrugged and decided to bluff his way through the awkwardness. âWhatever, Iâm starving, do what you want.â He unlocked his door with stiff, uncomfortable movements, acutely aware of how close Derek was standing. Fucking witches.
Predictably, Derek followed him inside. âI just wanted to talk to you,â he said once the door was shut.
Stiles spun around to face him with a wide, almost manic grin. âOkay. Youâre talking. Whatâs up?â
âAbout what the witch said,â he said slowly.
âOh, the âget it togetherâ thing? I donât know, man, I think she was wrong, I mean, youâve got a job and an apartment with an entire roof now, I think youâve got it together.â
âStiles-â He stepped toward him.
Stiles threw his hands up. âShe wasnât wrong,â he said, âIâm your friend and Iâd do anything for my friends. Okay?â His voice sounded light to the point of fragile, even to him. Whyâd she have to do that? he thought desperately. We were fine. They only saw each other rarely, and Stiles was happy in his bubble of denial, and then heâd helped someone out and here he was, having a crisis over feelings? Over Derek? He wished he could curse her.
âOkay,â Derek said gently. âDo you want me to go?â
Stiles started to say yesâtoo much to risk right now, there was a lot happeningâwhen he noticed, on the table by the door where he kept his keys, the damn shell, still filled with clay and ashes and Stilesâs own blood, which heâd let Derek draw. âNo,â he said, âyou could stay for dinner.â
They ended up making out on the couch and burning the stir fry Stiles was making, but it was worth so much more than the price of the pizza. Even if Derek shoved Stiles right off the couch when he said, âMmm, talk froggy to me,â mid kiss.

Spring Storm
Iâve been itching to write fanfic of @tiny-tumââs adorable queerplatonic boys Elijah and Micah for some time now. And last night I was like GOSHDARN I wanna write some sweet fluffy belly rubs, which these two are perfect for. <3
If you enjoy fics about bellies being comforted with a healthy dose of plot, check out her stories!
âCome on, you big lumpâmove!â
ââŠMmmmphâŠ.â
âSeriously, El. You may not realize it, but your arm is like a tree, I swear.â
The prodding and tugging at Elijahâs elbow finally succeeded in pulling him back into semi-consciousness. He opened one sleepy eye and caught sight of Micahâs indignant face peering back at him. Â âOh!â He quickly removed his arm, unpinning his friend from the couch, and sat up bolt upright. âSomething wrong?â
âNo, no, nothing. Didnât mean to scare you.â Micah chuckled as he got up, stretched, and meandered over to the kitchen. âItâs just that you had me trapped, and Iâm hungry!â
Elijah blinked in confusion. How much time had passed? The TV was still playing the movie they had put on before cuddling up together on the couch. Raindrops were drumming heavily on the windowpane, but even through the gloom of the spring storm, it was possible to judge from the weak gray light that it was still morning.
âMicah, it has not been very long since we had breakfast,â said Elijah admonishingly. âI doubt you are actually in need of more food this early in the day.â
âAw, come on!â Micah opened up a cupboard and began poking around inside. âI can snack myself into a coma if I want, and just take a nap if I need one! Itâs not like weâre going anywhere today.â
It was true. Theyâd had plans to go the library and find some reference materials for their coursework, but the heavy rain meant that waiting for the bus would be miserable. So theyâd decided to stay indoors, leaving them with a whole day to themselves.
Elijah felt strange about it. Not in a bad wayâhe and Micah had certainly spent lazy days together before. Itâs just that they were always meticulously planned out, little pockets of stipulated relaxation crammed between his schoolwork and his underground obligations. He could always feel the clock ticking down, the needling in the back of his head reminding him that all this was fleeting, temporary, too short.
But now, suddenly, he had extra time. A entire day had been gifted to him.
Over in the kitchen, a box of cereal had caught Micahâs interest. He held it up so Elijah could see. âWant me to pour you a bowl?â
Elijah considered the earnest look on his best friendâs face. His eyes flickered to the rain-splattered window, to the softly flickering light of the TV screen, to the blankets and pillows jumbled up around him.
How cozy it would be, just to curl up under the cover of the rainstorm, hemmed in by blankets and Micahâs arms, and pretend the rest of the world didnât exist for awhile.
âMmm. Yes please,â he said.
Theyâd each crunched their way through two bowls of cereal by the time the movieâs end credits rolled. Micah grabbed them big bags of chips and trail mix as he got up to put on the next movie. They had lunch sometime after that, warm bowls of tomato soup with gooey grilled cheese sandwiches. And when they settled back down on the couch together to do a little reading for school, Micah grabbed the box of blueberry muffins and the bowl of fresh fruit off the counter and poured two tall glasses of milk. They worked through the food as they read, TV switched to a mindless comedy show for a little background noise.
Elijah didnât normally eat foods like this. Heâd gotten them because Micah was going to be over, because Micah enjoyed them, because he could afford them and Micah couldnât. At first, he felt almost guilty for eating so much of the food heâd intended for his friend.
But the rain kept drumming on the windows, and the TV kept throwing out soft shreds of laughter from worlds far away, and the blanket around him was warm and soft. He noticed the way Micah refilled his bowl with chips when it emptied or casually handed him a second muffin, laughing and smiling and sharing like it was the most natural thing in the world. And he thoughtâmaybe itâs okay. Maybe, here and now, itâs okay.
His belly was already feeling quite snug after lunch. Heâd planned to stop the snacking, or at least slow down, but the fruit he had bought was very fresh and almost irresistible. Before he knew it, there were three banana peels on the table on the table in front of him.
Elijah didnât realize how much they had truly eaten until a low rumbling noise broke the silence.
He raised his head. âWas that thunder? Storm must be bad.â
âUh. No.â Micah squirmed against Elijahâs side. âThat was my tummy. Reminding me that it passed full like, an hour ago.â
At once, Elijahâs hand found the side of Micahâs belly, feeling out how swollen it was. âAre you in pain?â
âNot really.â Micah squirmed again, leaning back and letting his belly swell out. âOoh. Just stuffed. I kinda didnât think about it, but weâve been eating all day, havenât we?â
âI can make some tea.â Elijah disentangled himself from his friend and went to stand upâbut a sudden heavy sloshing sensation inside him forced him back to the couch. He couldnât bite back a low groan.
âYou all right?â Micah glanced over, and his face broke into a grin as he realized what had happened. âDudeâdid you eat so much you canât get up?â
âI was taken by surprise!â Elijah insisted. His stomach gurgled, still sloshing heavily, and he crossed an arm over it. âIt is not important. I can still get youââ
âNo, fuck that. Just get your hand back on my tummy.â
âBut I canââ
âI donât even need tea! It doesnât even hurt.â Micah grabbed Elijahâs wrist and tugged his hand over, placing it firmly over the rounded bulge of his stomach.
Instinctively, Elijahâs fingers began to press gently, thumb rubbing soft circles into the swollen flesh. Micah let out a happy sigh and sagged into Elijahâs arm.
A moment later, he squirmed around so he could reach his friend. Elijah groaned quietly as Micahâs hand pressed soothingly into his stretched sides and eased the pulsing tightness that had built up under his ribs.
âJust how much did you eat, El?â Micah teased. ââCause it feels like a whole lot in here.â
âYou canât exactly talk,â said Elijah with faint amusement. He gave Micahâs stuffed tummy a pat. âYou must have had just as much.â
âUgh. Yeah.â Micah yawned. âThink I need that nap⊠want to move to the bed?â
âMmm. No.â Elijah pulled away, smiling as Micah made a soft sound of confusion. He settled onto his back, propping his head up on a cushion, and motioned for Micah to snuggle up, half on top of Elijah and pressed against the back of the couch.
It was a tight fit, but it was cozy, and the weight of Micah on Elijahâs full belly felt wonderful. He was asleep within minutes, and when he woke up hours later, it was to darkness and a low sound that, this time, really was thunder.

bud lights & bruises - noah hanifin
Masterlist!
gif by @nhanifin
prompt/request: I heard this and really wanted to write a bathroom scene lolđ€·đŒââïž
warnings: a âfuckâ here and there, lil makeout sesh, mentions of alcohol, mentions of blood and bruises
authorâs note: this only the second thing Iâve written so feedback is much appreciated!!
word count: 1312
You burst through the creaky bathroom door, the rap thatâs bumping downstairs fading out as it shuts. There he is, frat boy extraordinaire in all his glory, but instead of seeing his usually flawless face, you notice a purple shiner on his left eye. âHanny, whatâd you do this time?â you question, a little frazzled and out of breath, and you can feel a headache coming on thanks to the amount beer in your bloodstream. You had to sprint up the stairs when Noah texted you âMeet me in the upstairs bathroom. Itâs an emergencyâ.
âUm, well me and Cam were fucking around a bit, and he kinda sorta accidentally decked me in the face.â Noah explains, the words come out a little rushed and you have to take a moment to process his sentence.
âSeriously, Noah? I was in the middle of like, destroying Jeff at a game of pong, and you interrupt my victory for this?â You glance back at his face to examine his black eye which seems to be getting darker, and thereâs blood running down the bridge of his nose. âMan, you hockey players really are as dumb as they say.â
Your comment earns an awfully dramatic eye roll from Noah, though itâs interrupted by a wince due to the bruising. Youâre a little annoyed because he still looks perfect despite his bloodshot eye and flushed cheeks. âY/N, please help me clean up,â Noah begs. He looks a little desperate, but his eyes are soft and his lips are parted and you canât say no.
âUgh, fine. But you owe me, this is interrupting the time I intended to use to get as drunk as possible.â
Noah has a lazy smirk on his face. âOf course. Weâll do shots as soon as there isnât like, blood running down my face.â
Things between you and Noah have always been complicated. You've always been just friends, but youâd be lying if you say that you never wonder what would happen if you two were more. Heâs incredibly attractive and your buzz and the glow of the fluorescent bathroom lights make him look even more so.
You turn from him to rummage under the sink, looking for a first aid kit. âAha!â You exclaim, pleased with your findings. You flip to face him and find him staring. You feel your cheeks burn a little, but you immediately look down to filter through the kit, praying that Noah didnât notice, while also wishing you were a little more drunk.
You hop up on the counter and scooch forward, motioning for Noah to step closer. He stands between your legs and rests his hands on your thighs and you swallow so loud that people in the hallway can probably hear.
You feel tiny under his 6â3 frame and youâre a little distracted by how broad his chest is and how bad you wanna touch it. You look back up to meet his eyes. The whites have turned more pink, but his irises are like looking into the Atlantic Ocean and itâs a little too much for you.
Your hands fumble with the plastic package containing cotton pads, and you look at Noah shyly through your lashes. You want so badly to blame your shakiness on the amount of Bud Light youâve ingested in the past three hours, but Mama didnât raise no liar.
âHere,â Noah says, taking the package from your grasp and tearing it with ease, removing a soft pad from the bag and handing it to you.
You pour rubbing alcohol onto the material. âThis might hurt, dude. Just tell me if I should text Skinner to come hold your hand.â
âOh please, Iâm a big boy.â He puffs his chest out and flexes his right bicep.
You shrug, âSuit yourself.â Noah lets out a low hiss as soon as the liquid touches his cut, and his grip on your thighs tightens a little bit, causing the breath to hitch in your throat.
âFuck,â he breathes and you relax and let out a giggle, a small smirk playing on your lips.
You continue nursing his cut and he watches you carefully. You keep your gaze locked on his forehead, knowing that if you look into his stupid blue eyes youâll melt like the Wicked Witch of the Fucking West.
âOkay,â you toss the used cotton pad in the garbage. âTime to deal with this monster.â You motion to Noahâs black eye. You find an instant ice pack and crack it, immediately feeling the cold.
You place it on his eye, holding it there to stop the swelling. Noah places his large hand over yours. Youâre a little shocked and you arenât sure of you should leave your hand under his. After a moment of contemplation, you let your small hand rest under Noahâs.
In the silence, you absentmindedly begin to hum to the faint music booming from downstairs. Itâs a song by The 1975 that you know all too well, âRobbersâ, you remember. Itâs muffled, but a wave of nostalgia washes over you.
Noah smiles at you, easy and calm and gorgeous and you smile back, his grin easing your nerves. The feeling in your tummy is warm and gooey and you hate yourself for how much you admire him and how badly you want to run your fingers through his dumb hockey flow.
âThat should be good,â you offer, expecting him to step back and return to the party. Neither of you make a move, you keep your bum planted on the marble counter and your eyes just above his.
âC-can I kiss you?â Noah asks and your eyes come to see his blue orbs flicking to gaze at your lips for a split second.
See, any sane person would say no, but the beer flowing through your system says otherwise. You nod your head a little too quick, clear your throat and drop the ice pack from Noahâs eye. He leans in to close the gap between the two of you, hips hitting the counter. Itâs chaste at first, tentative.
Your eyes flutter closed and you bring your hand to his left cheek. It feels warm, his face having been flushed by the multiple drinks that have lead to his bruised situation. Your other hand finds its way into his hair and tugs gently, earning a sound from Noah. You begin to lean back and he chases, pressing kiss after kiss on your lips. You both pull away and rest your foreheads together.
âYou know, when I imagined our first kiss I definitely didnât picture it in Brettâs bathroom,â Noah says, grinning widely at you.
You pull him back into you, tilting your head and slotting your lips together. âI could say the same thing,â you mumble against him, feeling comfort in the fact that heâs thought about your first kiss too.
You breathe him in as he begins to kiss you again. He smells like beer and faded cologne that he bought with you, itâs intoxicating.
Your lips fit together and the kiss becomes deeper as your head tilts to the left. You start to become dizzy, getting high off of Noah. You can feel his warm hands through the cotton of your body suit and -knock, knock, knock.
The two of you immediately disconnect, frazzled by the interruption. âIs someone in there? I think Iâm gonna puke.â
You and Noah look at each other, disappointment written on his bruised face. âWell, as much as Iâm enjoying this, I believe you promised me shots,â you wink.
He pulls you off of the counter and tugs your hand through the door frame, apologizing to the poor stranger waiting to go in to the bathroom.
Though your moment is cut short, the night holds plenty more dancing, alcohol, and hopefully, making out with Noah.

Sugarcoated - Ch. 3
Prev. Ch. Ao3 FF.net
[[ A/N: So, this was supposed to have a countdown to Valentine's Day, butâŠI couldn't bring myself to post anything over the weekend. It wasâŠhard? I don't know how to say it. It didn't seem right to go on as if nothing happened. Because something DID happen. And although my world is still turning, it seemed unfair to post something when so many other people's had sudden stopped.
Over the weekend, Maerynn, a pretty well-known Miraculous fanfic writer ("Under Lock and Key", "Bring Me Home", etc.), passed away in a car accident, leaving behind her loved-ones, including her children.
Although I didn't know her personally, something about her sweetness and the way that she seemed to bleed into everyone's lives in one way or another touched my heart deeply. She will be missed. A lot. Not just for her amazing works in writing, but for all the things she did to brighten others' lives. And so I want to dedicate this work to her, and to those who, like this miraculous lady, were unable to finish here on Earth what they started, whether works of art, raising your family, finishing a college degree, or finally saving up enough to travel the world.
This is for you.
And I hope, wherever you are, you know we're thinking of you.
And I hope, wherever you are, it puts a smile on your face.

Day 3 Prompt:
âWhen your OTP is in an intense argument and their faces get closer together but then they stop talkingâŠ
âŠand they look at the othersâ lips.â
Plagg was, in essence, naughty.
He was a naughty Kwami with low moral standards and a high interest in wreaking havoc. It was a dangerous combination in the best of creatures. Which Plagg was definitely not.
It took him about two minutes to decide that he was bored with Adrien and start wandering around the room, looking for sweets of some sort. This chick was small and cute, and, historically speaking, small and cute girls had an affinity for keeping yummy things close by. Plagg didn't know why. It just was.
When he spotted the cookies, he knew he was in luck.
Adrien continued to prattle away, but Plagg was enjoying a sound noseful of the delicious scent of warm chocolate. It wasn't cheese, true â not even remotely close on the scale of acceptable entrĂ©es for the picky Kwami â but the baked goods were fresh, the chocolate chips still gooey to the touch. But moments away from losing himself completely and sinking his tiny teeth into one of the delectable treats, he saw something that made his belly flip in all the best ways.
Because, of course, she would be here.
Of course his Ward would have a crush on the girl he also claimed was the bane of his existence.
The books exploded off the shelf in Plagg's sudden takeoff to chase the creature who had dashed behind them. Like he hadn't seen her. Like he couldn't smell her now that he knew she was there. Plagg wasn't deterred by a little game of chase â he was a cat. This was playtime for him. He completely ignored Adrien's shout to knock it off, instead zooming into the knitting basket with a fwoomf! Amongst the soft yarns the bounced and cool steel of the knitting needles, Plagg only had eyes for his prey: a little red Kwami, buzzing angrily beneath him.
Plagg threw his head back and laughed.
"String cheese," Adrien muttered through gritted teeth, "for a week if you don't knock it off!"
"Isn't that what I just did?" Plagg retorted smugly, gesturing to the books on the floor and in Adrien's hand.
Adrien scowled. Something in the last minute had caused Plagg have some sort of sudden, gleeful vendetta against Marinette's entire room. After knocking the books off the little shelf and then divebombing into a basket full of yarn, the kitten Kwami had set out to destroy everything, laughing like a maniac the entire time.
Was the little pest trying to get him in trouble with this girl!?
Adrien continued to mutter to himself while going about, attempting to right all the things Plagg had set out to destroy (Marinette hadn't organized her books that specifically that she would notice if one was out of place, right!?) When muttering angrily hadn't worked, threatening did; within a moment after saying the words, Plagg had conceded to Adrien's threat in lieu of low-grade cheese substitution, and was now "helping" (mostly by not destroying things. But Adrien wasn't going to complain).
A wood-on-wood rubbing sound drew Adrien's attention to were Plagg seemed to be having a tug-of-war match with one of Marinette's desk drawers, pulling on the handle with all his might. Adrien rolled his eyes before going over to help. A sudden squeak from under the drawer made Adrien jump; the drawer suddenly popped open, sending Plagg and a large assortment of papers flying through the room. Adrien groaned before scrambling hurriedly to snatch them up.
Now, could he really be blamed for looking at what was in his hands?
And could he really be in any sort of trouble when he looked in the rest of the drawer to see several of the same sorts of well, literal photographic evidence of something that made him incredibly happy? Giddy, even?
"Ugh!" Plagg said suddenly, breaking Adrien out of his reverie. "Take that lovesick look off your face! It's disgusting!"
Though Adrien couldn't very well remove his smile, fixed as it now was, he did rush to finish cleaning the rest of the room.
(Plagg, unbeknownst to Adrien, watched the added kick in the boy's step with a smug smile.)
Though Marinette and Adrien had never set anything in place "officially", the two had always sort of had anâŠunderstanding between each other. From the time his umbrella passed into her hands, the two had been somewhat inseparable. Now, there was no talk of "feelings", no DTR between them; the shy pair was too afraid to lose something that they ended up never starting anything. However, they were very exclusive in the sense that they wouldn't go out with anyone else. When someone else asked them out on dates, they would politely refuse. And when there was a school dance or other function, no one was ever surprised to see them go together, though they seemed to toe the line of "platonic" and "something more" every time. Moving past polite pleasantries was not in their repertoire.
For his part, Adrien wasâŠwell, Adrien was terrified.
What if she realized how socially inept he was?
What if she ended up not liking his sweet-sauce sense of humor?
What if she thought he was a complete dorkasaurus!?
So, noâŠAdrien made no move forward. Even though he desperately wanted to.
This, though? This tangible piece of evidence he had just stumbled upon? This gave him some hope in that department. And maybe a sweet stroke to his ego. Because, Adrien mused while he shoved the lot of them back into the drawer, why else would a girl have tons of pictures of a boy hidden in her room?
Without meaning to, Adrien giggled. Then turned on his Kwami, trying to look cross, as the situation demanded of him.
"You shouldn't have shown this to me," Adrien scolded, trying as hard as he could to actually mean the words. "I know you did that on purpose."
His Kwami only scoffed. The little cat had given up altogether in his pretend helpfulness at righting the room, settling instead on the plate of cookies, munching away happily (yes, taking a bite out of each one, just to annoy Tikki). With a loud swallow, Plagg finally answered nonchalantly,
"The drawer was stuck, you were helping me, end of story."
This time, Adrien scoffed in quick reply.
"That is not what happened. How did you even know these were there?"
The next few minutes were spent in an escalating argument, Adrien starting to really lay into Plagg about the mess he had made, and Plagg just rolling his eyes in response, or sassing his Ward with some well-placed words.
BANG.
Adrien let out a very manly yelp when the trap door suddenly smashed open.
Before Adrien could even get a good look at her â and before the lovesick smile could slide back onto his face, she was on him like butter on toast.
âŠShe was smooth like butter, and he was definitely toast.
She had pounced on him hard enough that they went rolling across her bedroom, Adrien having no clue as to what was going on. All he saw were limbs and a hard floor until they stopped. Panting slightly, he looked at the girl now straddling him with arms on either side of his head, and felt his face blanch at the sight of her murderous look.
"This is going to be a really short fight, Chaton, if you don't decide to defend yourself." Marinette purred in a low voice before blowing stray hairs out of her face. "That's the only warning you get."
HahaâŠcute. She gave me a nickname.
Wait.
NO.
NONONONONONONONONO.
Adrien tried to deny it. He tried to convince every cognitive force in his brain to stop connecting the dots, to stop painting the complete picture in his head. But there it was anyway, a masterpiece framed in blue-eyed fury and midnight hair.
And nowâŠwhat?
NowâŠ
And nowâŠ
Chat had to win this.
OrâŠescape. Maybe both somehow.
In a practiced move, Adrien deftly flipped Marinette off of him. She landed onto her chaise lounge in temporary shock, and Adrien immediately headed for the trap door.
"Nope!" he shouted over his shoulder. "Not dealing with this right now! I'm out!"
"You are not!"
Ah, apparently escape was not in his cards today.
In a surprising stroke of good luck, Adrien was able to look around before Marinette was on him again. This time, he was ready. This time, it was so. ON.
Adrien casually moved out of the way of her aggressive attack, but instead of her running into her desk as he had planned, the small girl jumped up and scaled the vaulted wall before flipping back onto him. Adrien readied himself, allowing her momentum to take them both down before sliding out from under her and landing a swift kick on her back. With a small "oof!", Marinette skidded across the floor and twirled until she was on her feet. But Adrien was already on her, grabbing her hands behind her back and slamming her face-first into the window.
"I thought gentlemen weren't supposed to attack ladies," she growled out through heavy breathing.
"I'm glad you see me as a gentleman," Adrien retorted, equally winded, "but you are no lady."
Marinette barked out a laugh, dropping so suddenly to the ground that Adrien smacked his face into the window. Not wanting to lose the upper hand, Adrien spun around and dropped into a defensive stance, only to see Marinette a few feet away, ripping some sort of hanging projector screen from the ceiling under her loft bed. Her heated stare made him pause for a moment; the hesitation cost him, though, and in the next second, Marinette leaped up to easily gain the high â though unsteady â ground on the chaise lounge. Marinette swung at him when Adrien started to circle the little sofa like the predator he was.
"I can't believe you tricked me into liking you!" she yelled at him.
Adrien laughed humorlessly. "I can't believe you think I would do something like that." Another swing in his direction, and Adrien slowly made his way back to the disheveled desk. "Gall! I thought you were sane, Marinette, but you really are one crazy chick!"
"Takes one to know one!" she mimicked back at him in a mockingly sweet tone, using his own words from the night before.
Adrien grabbed a handful of books and started chucking them at Marinette. She started swinging her screen thing in her hands like a baseball bat. The books were flying in both directions across the room, creating a messy topping to the overall ruffled appearance of the pink space their tousle had caused. They continued tossing insults and books at each other, only pausing momentarily when Marinette urged Adrien in a suddenly normal voice, "Oh, not that one, that one's my design sketchbook."
Adrien put it down gently, then, in a sudden change of demeanor, dove for Marinette's ankles, succeeding in knocking her off balance. She toppled on top of him, her makeshift weapon, as Adrien had hoped, skittering onto the floor. With a sound shove, Adrien knocked Marinette completely off the lounge on the other side, leaving him free to pick up her discardedâŠschedule?
Adrien paused for a moment, scanning the detailed agenda curiously. Since when did Marinette have photoshoots? Or take fencing? Or have Chinese lessonsâŠon the same days and timesâŠasâŠhimâŠwut.
Despite finding out that the constant thorn in his side was also this amazing friend in disguise, Adrien could not help feeling all the creeped-out flattery that came with this most recent discovery.
When he turned to Marinette and saw her horrified face, he grinned cheekily.
"Geez, Princess," he purred, laying his head on crossed arms on her lounge, staring at her. (If he was Chat Noir, his tail would be flicking excitedly.) "I didn't know you were so obsessed with me."
He expected to knock her off guard. He did not expect her to invade his space, leaning on her arms across the lounge until she was almost touching his nose.
"Totally obsessed, Adrien," she hummed in return, her voice low and quiet. "So much so, I'm just begging you to let me kiss your other cheek."
This time, Adrien took the first pounce. In one fluid movement, he had her pinned to the ground, body sitting on her legs, hands holding hers up by her head.
"I think that's enough playing around for you, M'Lady."
She struggled, grunting with the effort, and Adrien would've laughed at the scene if he hadn't had to concentrate every effort to maintaining his â probably brief â dominance.
"I hate that you're so nice to me!" Marinette suddenly shouted out at him furiously.
Adrien scowled, the words somehow making sense to him unlike how they wouldn't to any normal person.
"I hate that you always make me smile!" Adrien shouted back, leaning closer for emphasis.
"I hate your sunshine hair!" Marinette writhed under his hold, trying to wriggle free.
"I hate your pretty eyes!" Adrien spat out through gritted teeth.
Marinette suddenly paused, chest heaving from the roughhousing and probably from the physical pressure he was putting her. She stared up at him, and her face flushed red, though he didn't think it was from strain or effort. Her features relaxed slightly, and Adrien felt his own mouth clamp shut in subconscious response.
"YouâŠthink my eyes are pretty?" she whispered.
And yet Adrien could still hear herâŠbecause, somehow, they had gottenâŠso close.
He gulped.
"Yes," he whispered back
The only sound in the room was labored breathing between two teens.
She smelled faintly like sweat, and Adrien realized how hot she was under him.
Okay, not like that, butâŠokay, exactly like that.
Ladybug in civilian clothesâŠMarinetteâŠMarinette dressed as LadybugâŠcovered in tight red spandex and saving Paris. Saving Paris with that dark hair and that fluttered playfully in the wind, the girl tough as nails yet cared so deeply for others. With those big blue eyesâŠandâŠa-and those pinkâŠlipsâŠ
Without thinking much more about it, his eyes darted down to her lips and back again, in time to see that she had just done the same.
This time, Marinette gulped.
A little red blur suddenly started flitting around their heads, darting in between their faces. Adrien yelped in surprise â and, of course, again, in a very, very manly way.
"Wha â eh hem â what is it, Tikki?" Marinette said in a small voice. Adrien studied her face, noticing that for the first time she looked truly bothered.
"Oh, Marinette," said the tiny Kwami in a sugary voice, laced withâŠdisappointment? "There's a lot I want to say, but right now, you're going to be late for school!"
Marinette looked passed her Kwami into Adrien's face. Adrien stared back for only a second before doing what was second nature for him to do around her, and grinned widely. Marinette frowned before shoving him off of her.
Adrien scrambled to his feet just in time to tug Marinette back by the arm before she descended downstairs. Clearing his throat, he shoved her into her closet.
"Hey!" she shouted and looked like she was going to lay into him again, but Adrien only held up a hand in abrupt dismissal.
"You, uh, you look like crap," he admitted harshly, remembering that she really at just attacked himâŠafter biting his cheek the day before. ButâŠhe still cared enough about her to make sure she didn't go to school likeâŠthat. "You should change. I'll, uh, I'll cover for you."
Marinette only gave him a hard stare, seeming to be caught in conflicting emotions.
Adrien could relate.
Before Adrien made it down the stairs, though, Marinette called down from her room.
"Adrien!"
He looked back to see her head floating in the opening of her trapdoor.
"Fix your hair."
Five minutes before school started, and Adrien was standing in the guys' bathroom, trying to set his whoosh style back in place and staring at the mark on his cheek again. His Lady's mark.
He grinned to himself.
Marinette's mark.
SomehowâŠeverything bitter suddenly tasted very, very sweet.

Hosts of Japan - Chapter 7
Chapter 1 Â Chapter 2 Â Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6
I know long time with no updates, but Iâve been sick and working a lot of 12 hours shifts over the christmas period, so had no time. Iâm back though, I have two weeks off now to focus on my writing for Uni and this :)
Tagging the girls @whatdoyouexpectthistime @hifftn and @smutmylifeup also @destinywanted donât worry darlin youâre in the next chapter :)
Didnât take us long to find the Prince and his butlers, almost as soon as we entered the hotel, the staff ushered us to the small conference room they had used previously. When we reached the doors leading in to where the Prince was sat, I had to stop to take a minute for a breather. My anxieties were sky high, and I was nervous I was gonna loss my confidence in my case. I knew I had done nothing wrong, it was all on the prince and their behaviour; however, my brain doubted itself. Big time.
Thatâs when I felt Miho and jazz squeeze my hand, and Mieke place her hands on my shoulder.
âWeâre here, remember?â Jazz said âeven if you doubt yourself, we certainly donât, if you canât speak weâll speak for youâ she smiled and I nodded after one last deep breath.
Miho opened the door and entered first, me following with Jazz and Mieke by my side. I wasnât expecting anything large to happen, but I was surprised when the prince stood instantly, both butlers stiffening their positions. For once, it wasnât the butlers who approached me, it was the prince himself. And was that genuine regret in his eyes? Miho sized him up, stopping him from reaching me.
âI wish to speak to her, after all it is her Iâve done wrongâ he explained. Miho glanced back at me and I nodded so she moved aside âPlease, take a seat, Iâd like to explain and apologise properlyâ
I kept my face stern as I agreed to sit opposite him, my girlsâ right beside me.
âThank youâ Keith said, finally sitting too âbut, Iâm not here to thank you, Iâm here to apologise, deeply, first of all Iâd like to explain, my relationships with the other princes is aâŠdifficult one to fully describe, they know I do not understand some things as we are raised in different countries with different customs, they like to tease me on this, hence why they believed it was funny to play this âprankââ he began, it did sound genuine to say the least, but I kept my guard up just like Mieke had taught me âI know this doesnât excuse the way I behaved, however, I would like you to forgive Aleck and Luke before myself, they were only doing as they were told, if they speak out of turn, my family have been harsh on punishments, they were only doing their jobâ
My eyes travelled up to Aleck who looked the most ashamed and sleep deprived of them all. Knowing he truly wished for forgiveness, I gave him a small smile. LukeâŠsure he was also ashamed, he still had a stern expression. Instead of smiling at him, I turned back to Keith.
âNow, I deeply apologise for my behaviour, even though the princes played a prank, I should not have forced myself onto you like that, I should not have assumed and justâŠ.gone ahead with my urges, I was so very very wrongâ he stood and bowed to me âI will understand if you do not accept this apology and wish to continue down a path of lawyers, but I must ask you not to, instead, may we continue the agreement? You show me Tokyo on my days off, and I assure you, myself and my country will give you an amazing review and recommendation that will boost your companyâs reputation greatlyâ
âIf we do continue the contract, do you assure us that there will be no sexual advances? From any of you?â Miho asked.
âThere will be none, this will be strictly professionalâ Keith assured us.
âWhat about the other princes?â Mieke asked.
âThey would also like to apologise, but they will be keeping their distance as you wish itâ he explained.
I didnât need to talk, I was happy with the apology and Aleck had even written up a new contract with explicit details on what would happen in the next couple of weeks. Jazz read it over, and Miho and Mieke before I read it and happily signed. Luke would accompany us at all times, just in case, and he was given permission to speak up if he wished to, something I had personally asked to be added in.
When we finally left and headed out to go grab some food, I could help but feel eyes on me. I glanced round the room, however, none of the guests were even looking in our direction. Maybe it was just me being paranoid, even if I had a sinking feeling, we still went on our way out of the hotel, me pushing the feeling aside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jazz had been working hard and closely with Takao after that, she always made sure she had a back-up, just in case. It was the first day of H taking the prince out into Tokyo and she was a little nervous about how it was going to go. So, it reassured her that Takao was fully on board with keeping a note of everything ready to sue if H was in danger of any kind again.
âJazz, calm down, you know Iâm sure H will be just fineâ Takao said over the phone.
âUgh, I know I know, canât help itâ Jazz said, rubbing her eyes.
âHow about I get Kuni to bring back some take out for you two tonight? Your favourite? Itâll distract you Iâm sureâ he suggested.
âThat would be nice, thank you, I just want to get that text from her tonight to say it went alrightâ Jazz sighed again.
âOk, Iâm telling Kuni now, talk to you tomorrowâ Takao said, clearly grinning as he spoke.
Jazz carefully put the phone down and leaned back in her chair.
âAnd I thought I could get worked up easilyâ Miho laughed.
âSorry, canât help but be on edge a littleâ
âSame, but H can handle herselfâ Miho smiled, placing a cup of coffee in front of Jazz.
âI know, but I know youâre worried too, she didnât have to forgive him so quicklyâ Jazz growled.
âIt kind of annoyed me too, it was a traumatic thing he did, but, he did seem genuine, even if we wouldnât forgive him, H did and we supported her in thatâ Miho said, leaning against Jazzâs chair, glancing at her computer screen âwe just need toâŠhey whoâs that from?â she asked, pointing to a particular email.
âHuh?â Jazz wondered, moving to open it âI literally have no idea, isnât this the computer with the email with all the contacts in?â
âYeah, this is the private emailâŠâ Miho said, pulling a separate chair up next to Jazz.
The girls glanced over the email, not really making sense of any of it. It was an incredibly vague email, talking about stuff to do with the company, and yet it not making any sense.
âShould we just delete? I mean, it could just be spamâ Jazz suggested.
âHmm, nah donât delete, keep for now, for the address, in case we get another, we can keep track of them thenâ Miho said, Jazz agreeing and moving it into a different folder for now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
âWhat do you mean I eat it?â the prince grimaced at the small, gooey ball in his hand.
âItâs mochi, itâs sweet and tastes amazingâ I said, trying to get him to try some of the local cuisine, something that was a greater challenge than I expected.
âNo thanks, think Iâll passâ and he shoved the mochi to Luke.
I sighed again. This had been a regular occurrence throughout the day. I had taken him to the local market place as a sort of warm up to more intense things in Tokyo, however, everything I offered to him, from Sushi to street food, he would not eat. He would look, and maybe pick it up, but never taste it. If it wasnât made by his special palace kitchens, then chances are he wouldnât go near it. Not good enough.
âOf course youâll passâ I said full of sass.
âWhat is next on this little adventure to the plebs market?â he asked.
âAlright, first of all, donât go calling the locals plebs, that can be taken very offensively and second, you agreed to continue the contract, this isnât a little adventure, this is you trying to understand the culture of this country, you know, to better your ownâ I argued.
âOk, calm down, I am tryingâ he said.
He wasnât really. I honestly didnât know how his butlers put up with him so much. He was more than high maintenance, itâs no wonder he didnât realise what a host was. I didnât blame him for not knowing, hardly, if you donât know something you donât know. But he wasnât even trying to understand these things. Not even opening up to me slightly. He kept his princely attitude constantly. I had attempted to make jokes with him, to have a laugh, but nothing, he waved his hand to off the joke and kept asking what next, as if it was something on a list. It had only been one day and I was already exhausted. Physically, my feet hurt from all the slow walking and hanging around. Mentally? I was ready to punch the bastard.
I found the prince a little private bench in a nearby park and went to go get some ice cream. I knew Liberty had to have had ice cream at least, safe bet for now. However, Luke came with me this time.
âYou holding up ok?â he asked, probably the first nice thing he had asked me.
âKinda? Does having not punching him yet count as holding up?â I asked in return.
âA littleâ was that a smile? A genuine one? âI know we moved past it yesterday, but, I would like to apologise myself for not stepping in, as so, please, let me buy theseâ
âOh, wow, an ice cream, yeah makes me forgive everythingâ I said sarcastically.
âI know it doesnât, but itâs a start? Prince Keith can be a lot to take, but he is a good person, you justâŠhave to loosen him upâ Luke advised me.
âHow on earth am I meant to loosen up a highly strung king wannabe?â I asked.
âWellâ Luke began, giving me my ice cream âhe loves karaokeâ
