How to be the âit girlâ in school â¨đââď¸



Academic validation >> external validation (boys, girls, etc.) : academic validation should always come first if youâre in school. ALWAYS. Your grades and your knowledge will take you far in life, not the approval of some random kids who you probably wont ever even see again. You need to know your priorities.
Romanticise it!: make school fun! Romanticise it. Act like the main character because you ARE the main character and donât let anyone tell you otherwise!
Study for tests: part of being an âit girlâ is actually getting good grades. And how do we get good grades? By studying!! Romanticise studying if you want. But just study. Study study study until you canât get it wrong. Also- stop working just on motivation. Create a routine or schedule where you get in studying everyday and STICK TO IT.
Confidence: walk, talk and act with confidence and confidence only. walk as if you OWN the room. Know that you are worth a million dollars, OWN THAT. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Remember: âyou canât fit in if you were born to stand out!â
Stop caring about what others think of you. people will hate on you and THATS OKAY. Some people will literally hate on like everything. I heard once (from thewizardliz) that there will be a video of cats playing on the internet and there will be a person that figures out how to hate on it. There will be people who just have nothing to do in their lives except try to bring you down so you need to just ignore it. Be protective of your energy.


Style: itâs okay to hop onto different trends, but try to find your own style. Itâs okay if your school has a uniform, you can add a âsignatureâ piece of jewellery to your outfit to make you feel a bit better about yourself. Also use a certain scent/ perfume on yourself that just makes you feel a bit more.. â¨you.⨠(also remember itâs perfectly alright to change your style if you get bored once in a while!)
Good hygiene: brush your teeth. Comb your hair. Shower. Make sure your lips arenât crusty musty dusty. Iron your clothes. Make sure you feel fresh and clean everyday.
Be kind: dont be mean if you have no reason to. If someone comes up to you politely asking a question or talking to you about something, dont give them a side eye, dont look at them as if theyâre a clown, be polite and respectful. No one, and i mean NO ONE likes someone whoâs rude. You may think itâs cool, but rly.. it isnât. Itâs just icky. Give genuine compliments, smile, treat others to make them feel special. Although do remember that THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING kind AND BEING A people pleaser!! Have boundaries and prioritise YOURSELF FIRST.

âżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍ ŕ¨ŕ§ âżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâżÍâż
Internal Littlespace â Staying in Your Head
⢠𧸠Use Your Inner Little Voice â Instead of speaking in little talk out loud, let your thoughts be playful and soft. Tell yourself, âIâm being such a good little one doing my work,â or imagine your caregiver praising you in your mind.
⢠đ Create a Secret Game for Yourself â Try giving yourself little challenges, like:
- âIf I write five more sentences, I get to doodle a tiny heart.â
- âIf I finish this task, I get to take a sip of my juice box.â
⢠đ Assign Cute Names to Objects â Your pen can be Mr. Scribbles, your phone can be Blinky, and your backpack can be Adventure Pack.
⢠đ Imagine Your CG (or Comfort Character) Watching Over You â If you have a CG, picture them watching proudly as you do your work. If you donât, think of a favorite plushie, cartoon character, or even a pet, encouraging you!
Secret Fidgeting & Comfort Items
⢠đ Use a Cute Pen or Pencil â A soft pastel pen, a squishy pencil grip, or a character-themed writing tool can make work feel fun.
⢠đ Wear Something Small That Makes You Feel Little â A bracelet, ring, necklace, or hair clip with a small charm that reminds you of being little.
⢠𧸠Keep a Tiny Comfort Object in Your Pocket or Bag â A mini plushie, small sensory stone, soft fabric, or a keychain can help ground you.
⢠đ¨ Doodle Secretly â You can draw in the margins of your notes, on a sticky note, or in a small journal. Even tiny stars, flowers, or smiley faces can feel comforting.
⢠âď¸ Squish Something Soft â Keep a stress ball, slime, or soft scrunchie in your pocket to fidget with subtly.
Secret Little Treats & Sensory Comfort
⢠đ Pack a Fun Snack â A juice box, fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, or anything fun and nostalgic that wonât stand out too much.
⢠đŹ Keep Hard Candy or Gum â Sucking on something sweet like a lollipop or chewing bubblegum can feel comforting without anyone noticing.
⢠đ Use Lightly Scented Hand Lotion â Pick something soft like vanilla, cotton candy, or strawberries. Applying lotion can feel soothing and help you stay grounded.
⢠â Drink from a Cute Water Bottle â A pastel bottle or one decorated with stickers can feel like a secret little comfort.
Writing & Secret Notes to Yourself
⢠đ Use a Cute Journal or Planner â Decorate it with stickers, colorful pens, or washi tape. Writing things in a playful way can keep you feeling small.
⢠âď¸ Make To-Do Lists in a Fun Way â Instead of âFinish Essay,â write âWrite Smart Words!â or âDo Big Girl Work!â
⢠đ Write Yourself a Love Note â Tuck a small sticky note in your notebook that says âYouâre a good little one!â or âCG would be proud!â
Discreet Listening & Digital Comfort
⢠đ§ Listen to Comforting Music â If allowed, wear earbuds and listen to soft piano, Disney instrumentals, lofi beats, or cozy soundscapes.
⢠đą Set a Cute Phone Wallpaper â Pick an image of a plushie, a soft pastel aesthetic, or a comfort character.
⢠đĽ Use a Cozy Study Timer App â Apps like Forest, Study Bunny, or Pomodoro let you gamify work while keeping a gentle, comforting theme.
⢠đ Read Something Cute on Breaks â Whether itâs a lighthearted story, a favorite childhood book, or a short fanfiction, reading something soft can help.
Body Language & Subtle Self-Soothing
⢠𧌠Wear Soft Socks or Comfy Underlayers â Even if no one sees, fuzzy socks, soft leggings, or a cozy bralette can make you feel safe.
⢠đ¸ Hold Your Sleeves or Play with Your Jewelry â Holding onto something, like the edge of your sweater, a pendant, or a ring, can be a secret comfort.
⢠â Rub Your Fingers Together or Tap Your Thigh Lightly â A repetitive, gentle motion can help regulate emotions and keep you grounded.
⢠đ Take Deep, Quiet Breaths â Inhale slowly, hold for three seconds, and exhale gently through your nose. This keeps you relaxed.
Positive Reinforcement & Secret Rewards
⢠đ Give Yourself Silent Praises â âGood job, me!â after completing a task can feel rewarding.
⢠đ Pretend Your CG (or Comfort Character) is Watching â Imagine them smiling, hugging you, or patting your head when you finish something hard.
⢠đ
Set Tiny Rewards for Yourself â âIf I finish this paragraph, I can sip my juice box,â or âIf I complete this page, I get to hold my plushie later.â
Planning for Later
⢠đĄ Think About Your Littlespace Routine at Home â Plan what youâll do when you get home, like coloring, watching cartoons, or snuggling a plushie.
⢠đ¤ Promise Yourself Rest Time â Remind yourself that even if you canât fully be little now, youâll have time for it later.
đ Remember: Itâs okay to feel little anywhere! These small, subtle tricks can help keep you happy, safe, and comfortable no matter where you are. You donât have to show anyone your littlespace unless you want to.
Your little self is valid, loved, and adorable. đ¸â¨

Please Rest! // Steddie x f!Reader
Summary:You always wake up from date night feeling achy and exhausted and sometimes, you don't always prioritise your rest when you need it most. However, it seems great minds think alike where Steve and Eddie are concerned.Â
A/N:Â Hello lovely readers, welcome to my new poly series that I have been absolutely obsessed with the idea of. I hope you love it just as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Of course, this doesn't mean my other series will be neglected, I'd just like to enjoy some time with my two favourite guys from Hawkins as well!
TW: discussion of reminders to eat, not with regards to ED but the conversation is repeatedly discussed.
Tags: 18+ readers only, smut, fluff, light angst, domestic bliss, dom/sub undertones, lots of pet names (no use of Y/N), fingering, teasing, begging, Sex in Eddieâs van, rough sex, multiple orgasms, subspace, creampie, overstimulation praise kink, delayed aftercare, outdoor sex, passing out, discussion of remembering to eat
Words:Â 10.5 k (hahah oops)
my masterlist đ AO3 Link
Every day typically started the same. Sneaking out of bed in an attempt to not wake your boyfriends; brushing back unmanageable bed hair on both of their heads as you whispered goodbyes in the early morning hours. Before even the sun had crept over the horizon as you rose to attend the hospital where you worked as a student nurse.
Today however was a rare day, simply because: it was your day off. And yet, due to your natural alarm clock, you were still rising at the unnatural hour of the early morning. Tossing and turning did nothing to drag you back into the sleeping realm, even trying to cuddle closer to both the overheated bodies who you were sharing a bed with, but nothing seemed to help.
So once more, you were sneaking out of bed, moving steadily and with enough stealth that it would make one of the sleeping men proud. Even with the streetlamp outside illuminating the bedroom in a comforting orange hue, you still had to fumble dramatically across the floor until your fingers grazed over soft material, lifting it to your nose and taking a sniff. Vanilla, cedar and hairspray: Steveâs jumper.
A moment later you were pulling on the discarded jumper and a pair of your underwear that had also been left in the pile of yesterdayâs clothes. Now partially dressed, you were able to make a pot of coffee and sit out on the porch and watch the sunrise whilst assessing just how much you were aching from the night before.
If you had a day off from the hospital, it usually meant one thing, date night followed by a thoroughly rough fucking, just as you liked it and now, you were feeling the effects today. All your muscles were aching and tender areas were littered underneath the skin from the restraints, spanks, grabbing and fucking from both men who were still soundly asleep.
It was your favourite pastime. If you had a day off then youâd all release the pent-up emotions with a hard fuck and then rest the following day which is exactly your plans for today. Maybe watch a movie or if youâre feeling extra exuberant then catch up on the laundry that seemed to be neglected in the corner of the bedroom from the past few days.
Your coffee was long finished by the time your body was warmed by the morning sun, the birds beginning to chirp awake with the rest of Hawkins. Well⌠most of Hawkins as you observed the car arriving and parking to the trailer across the yard. Eddieâs Uncle Wayne exited his car after finishing his night shift at the plant, probably on his way to bed but not before he turned in the direction of your shared trailer, seeing you there, raising his hand and giving you a wave which you responded with enthusiastically with a smile. It was an easy decision for you all to decide on sharing a trailer, it was cheap which was what you needed during your studies and it wasnât like Steve and Eddie were making lots of money with their jobs. The trailer was quiet, out of the way and you were able to make the area yours, it worked for you all.
Deciding now was the perfect time for your second cup of coffee and maybe time for breakfast, you traipsed back into your little home, listening intently into the bedroom and still hearing two sets of snores notifying you that they were both still asleep.
Searching through the refrigerator that desperately needed filling with groceries, you shrugged, âBacon it isâ, muttering under your breath as you began to prepare breakfast. As the bacon cooked and you decorated the table, the alarm clock began blaring in the bedroom, followed by two exaggerated groans, arguing then a bang as the alarm was slammed off.
âBreakfast is ready!â, you cheerfully shouted, happy they were both somewhat awake now as it meant you were able to turn on the radio, something youâd been itching to switch on since waking up, instantly swaying your hips to the music. Vaguely in the background, there was thudding as someone tiredly shuffled out of bed and into the bathroom. A couple of seconds later, much more subtle steps could be heard as you stood over the stove.
Two naked arms wrapped around your waist, enveloping you in warmth and safety as lips settled into the base of your neck, moving as Steve mumbled, âHave I ever told you how much I love having you home in the morningsâ. You smiled and leaned back into the solid chest, letting him hold you and sway on the spot for a second before needing to return to cooking the bacon.
Steve didnât remove himself from you, his arms still caged around your waist, as he waddled tiredly with you as you continued to finish the breakfast. Only when the food was prepared and plated on the table did you succumb to the man behind you, turning on the spot, arms lifting and slipping around Steveâs shoulders, kissing his neck as you hugged him back.
Steve hummed into the morning cuddle, clearly half asleep still as his eyes had yet to open and his comfort only increased as your fingers easily ran through his hair, pushing it back and away from his face. âHow long have you been awake?â Steve asked, voice still muffled against your throat.
Pulling back a fraction so that you could cup his cheek, kissing the tip of his chin as you replied, âMy usual timeâ.
âRoughâ, he admitted, finally opening his eyes and smiling down as he took in your appearance. âGood morningâ, his voice was still thick from just waking up but the pure look he was giving you with his warm honeyed eyes.
âGood Morningâ, you responded with your smile, tilting up on your toes so that you could kiss his soft lips for a second before asking, âCould you get the coffee for me, pleaseâ.
âSure thing, babyâ.
As soon as Steve had untangled his limbs from around your body and began walking back to where you left the pot of coffee, you were lifting back onto the tips of your toes as Eddie had snuck in, shirtless and with a nest of curls swooping in to cover your face as he pulled you into his morning hug.
âYou smell like coffee and sexâ, he croaked whilst tasting the skin of your jaw with lazy kisses, a smile tugging at his lips as he felt the warmth blossom across your cheeks. In turn, you tried to kiss along his cheek that was covered in stubble, a look he had been experimenting with for a couple of months, and a look you very much enjoyed as you reached his lips but your face was still covered in Eddieâs hair.
Lifting your fingers from where they had settled on his toned shoulders, you tried to tame his wild morning curls, brushing them out of the way but your fingers got caught in tangles. âAnd you smellâ, you paused for a moment, breathing him in, âsurprisingly nice, is that coconut?âÂ
Eddie eased back from the hug, a grin spread broadly across his face, his dimples deepening in his cheeks that had your heart beating faster. âNew shampoo, courtesy of Nancy. Gotta keep the curls upâ, he dramatically shakes his hair back, his curls bouncing with the movement.
The three of you had a blissful breakfast, sat around the circular dinner table, Steve in the middle, Eddie to his right and you on his left. âIâll bring you both lunch today, if you want. What time do you have it again?â
â12â, Eddie answered first, pausing his glugs of overly sweetened black coffee.
â12 30â, Steve then answered, as he placed his now empty glass of orange juice onto the table and squeezed your thigh that he was idly stroking circles on with the pad of his thumb.
âPerfect!â you say, cradling one of Eddieâs mugs that Wayne had given you upon moving in, the warmth soaking into your fingers from your second cup of coffee.
âYou knowâ, Eddie pondered, lowering his cup onto the table, âIâm pretty sure driving all across Hawkins to deliver us lunch, is not classified as restingâ.
Shrugging your shoulders, you tried to hide your smile by biting it at his voice of concern. âIâm not feeling too bad todayâ, this was only a half lie as you were definitely aching but you also knew your limit. Risking a glance towards both men beneath your eyelashes, teasing them and no longer hiding your smile, âMaybe you both didnât go hard enough on me last nightâ.
âOh, is that how weâre going to play today?â Steveâs eyebrows raised as his thumb brushed across his lower lip as he shuffled close to you in the circular booth, intention shining brightly in his eyes.
As he inched closer, you moved away, the fear of the chase about to occur but then a thought crossed your mind as you glanced at the clock. âMaybe another time because you both have to leave in three minutesâ.
In sync, both of their heads snapped towards the clock and then rushed to clamber out of the booth, a string of curses leaving their lips as they scrambled to quickly get ready for work. As they did so, you slowly gathered the dirty plates and cups to place into the sink to begin washing up whilst chuckling to yourself listening to the grunts and bangs are Eddie and Steve rushed to get ready for work.Â
âWhat do you want in your lunch?â you shouted over your shoulder, turning your face slightly as in turn, they rushed to your side now fully dressed, hands on your waist as they lean in to kiss your cheek with an audible âmwahâ.
âAnything, love you!â Steve was the first to kiss and exit, tugging on his green vest as he ran out of the door and jumped into his car.
âEverything on mine please, love you moreâ, Eddie shouted, stumbling as he attempted to tug his shoes on as he followed Steve out of the door, leaning through his car door to kiss him goodbye before climbing into his van.
You couldnât help but laugh at their antics, muttering âlove you tooâ, under your breath as you continued washing up.
The next few hours passed by slowly and you made sure not to rush, not that you were able to with the ache remaining in your muscles. You werenât able to relax either though, feeling as if you were on edge with how quiet it was being by yourself in the trailer, even with the radio extra loud, you still felt unsettled. Most of the time, being home alone was not an issue however after such an intense night, it was unnerving to be by yourself and without the comfort of one of them there, it was hard to keep distracted. Even with your attempts to clean the trailer, thoroughly wash the lingering scent of last night's escapades off of your skin and then decided on a pretty floral dress that put no restriction on your achy muscles.
By the time you were preparing the sandwiches, cheese for Steve and âeverythingâ for Eddie which was more whatever was left in the fridge, a simple of ham, cheese, tomato and pickle, and finally a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for you, you were ready to run from the trailer to your boys.Â
Eddie was right, although you would never admit this to him for a lifetime of gloating that would come of it; you needed to rest and after fussing around the trailer all morning, now you were exhausted. However, whenever you stopped, that feeling of sombre loneliness crept back so you were on your feet until it was a reasonable time to get into your car.
Your first visit would be to Eddieâs work which was a guitar shop called PickPlex where he was able to play with guitars all day and on the odd occasion give kids lessons. It wasnât too far from the trailer so it didnât take you long to pull up to the parking lot.
The bell above the door chimed as you entered and before even stepping in, a deep voice welcomed you from the desk. âHey there Missy, havenât seen you in a while, how are you keeping?â Craig the shop owner greeted you, a man in his late 50s with tattoos covering his neck and arms but his real nickname was the gentle giant.
âHey, Craig! Yeah, itâs been a while, Iâve been working and itâs finally my day off so-â, you held up the bag of Eddie and yours sandwiches, âLunches need to be deliveredâ.
As you stopped talking, you were able to spot a head full of black curls perk up behind a display of guitars. Eddieâs boyish grin spread across his face, eyes lighting up as he spotted you and instantly jogged over, the chain on his belt jingling against his thigh as he approached. The closer he was, the more you had to stifle your laugh at his unkempt uniform. Clearly from his rush this morning to dress, heâd thrown on his discarded button-up black shirt that was heaped onto the floor which meant that it was creased today and you couldnât help but feel more affection for him as you noticed heâd scribbled on his red name badge, changing his name from Edward to Eddie.
âHey Angelâ, he purred as he stepped up to you, leaning down to kiss your lips softly.
Smiling up at the man you teased, âAre you talking to me, or the guitars?â
Eddieâs head tilted as he bit the inside of his cheek, his dimples threatening to deepen in a smile that he was holding back at your sass. âThe guitars are Sweetheart, you are my Angelâ, even though it was a teasing and casual conversation, his words still managed to have your heart racing, especially as he dipped his face to kiss your cheek.
âItâs her day off and youâre making her bring you lunch, Munson? Thought you were better than thatâ, Craig joked as he leaned on the countertop.
Eddie turned on the spot to address his boss, âIâll have you know that she insisted on it. Is the back room free?â he asked, nodding his head behind Craig who was shaking his head.
âNo fraid not, Shanâs in there, kidâ, referring to his wife having her lunch break already.
Shrugging his shoulders, Eddie turned back towards you, taking your spare hand and dragging you back towards the door you just entered through, âNo worries, weâll just be in my vanâ.
Waving your fingers at Craig, you leave with Eddie, almost skipping with glee towards where heâd parked in the van in the corner of the parking lot, under a canopy of drooping tree branches. Reaching the sliding side door of his white and plum-coloured van, Eddie opened it up and held out his tattooed hand for you to take.
Grasping his large rough hand in your own, you savoured the feeling of his cold, chunky rings as Eddie uttered, âMâladyâ.
âWhy, thank you sirâ, the word sort of just slipped out at his chivalrous actions and you noted the way his breath hitched at the word as he helped you into the back of his van. It was exactly as it had been when youâd first met him a year and a half ago, an old mattress on the floor space, covered in blankets, sheets and pillows as this used to be his favourite place to get high but since being with you and Steve, the place had become a lot more frequently used for other such doings.
Eddie clambered into the back of the van as you sat against some pillows, making yourself comfortable, and he swiftly slide the door close behind him, giving you both some privacy and also pushing you both into dimmer lighting as his back windows had long since been blacked out by sheets.
Holding up his wrapped sandwiches you began to list what was in them, âI hope you like this version of âeverythingâ, so youâve got ham, cheese and-â, your words instantly died in your throat as Eddie crawled on his knees towards you, hand gently grazing over your jaw before he was closing the gap between your mouths.
Your grip on the sandwich bags released instantly so that you could cling to the collar of his uniform, pulling him even closer. It became heated quickly as he settled between your thighs, a movement that had them aching from being in similar positions all night but you were very much ignoring that right now.
Eddies face tilted to deepen the kiss, his tongue pressing desperately against your sealed lips and you were more than happy to allow him entrance, moaning as you could taste the lingering cigarette and cola mixture from his earlier breaktime treats.
Just as your fingers slipped beneath his collar and began to scratch your nails against his scalp, a move that had him shivering and moving closer, he seemed to falter and regrettably pull back from the kiss. Both of your lips still hovered over one another as he stated, âAngel, you should eatâ. The affectionate warmth returned to your chest as he continued to try and look after you after last night.
You did appreciate it and you were hungry but right now, you were also hungry for something else as you reached for his hands, linking your fingers together and once again savouring the contrasting temperatures between his fingers and jewellery. âI can eat with Steveâ, you confidently state, moving your lips just past his to caress his cheek. It wasnât your intention to come and fuck him in his van but youâd been so touch-starved these last few hours that youâd take anything he was willing to give you right now.
Eddie once again leans back so that he can bore his rich, chocolatey brown eyes into your own, his tone soft and yet demanding as he asks, âYou promise me that youâll eat with Pretty Boy?â
âI promise to eat with Steveâ.
It took him a second to seem convinced of your promise before he was diving his face lower to your neck, stubble scratching and teeth nipping the sensitive skin. âI havenât forgotten what you said this morning by the wayâ, he says, words muffled by his actions on your neck.
âWhat?â you ask breathlessly, all thoughts disappearing from your mind as your eyes closed and head tilting back to give him more room, your hands squeezing his hands in need to hold him close.
Eddie continued to explain as he explored up towards your jawline, âAbout not going hard enough last night, I think you need to be more careful with your wording, Sweetheartâ.
You couldnât help but grin at your words during breakfast and with the atmosphere thickening in Eddieâs van, a noticeable dampening between your legs as your pussy hummed in arousal. You knew you shouldnât continue to taunt, especially after how rough it was the night before but your response was already dangling in front of you, teetering on the tip of your tongue. âOh? So now Iâm Sweetheart, am I?â
Eddieâs lips paused their exploration as he once again leaned back on his knees to look at your grin. You werenât often a bratty person and hated any repercussions that came from it, especially from Eddie as he usually liked to be the meaner dominant between him and Steve so you were currently skating on thin ice. Instead of giving you an answer in return, he moved his body away slightly, hands letting go of yours but only so that they could grip your hips so that he was able to pull your body further down so you were now lying on the mattress, giving him better access to crowd over your body.
His curly hair cascaded around his face, shadowing his handsome features in the low light as your legs wrapped around his waist, pulling his crotch flush against yours, the material of your dress pushing up to naturally bunch around your waist. This touch was enough to distract you from the domineering response that was still pending to come from Eddie as he slowly rolled his hips, his jean-covered hardened cock pushing against your soaking panties.
Because you were watching his shadowed face, you didnât notice one of his broad hands creeping towards the edge of your panties, where your thigh and pussy met, where you were most sensitive and the second his fingertip stroked the hem and skin, you were bucking your hips.
âIâll call you, whatever Iâd like to call youâ, he seductively declares before his mouth opens, copying yours as you release a desperate gasp as his fingers dipped beneath your panties so that he could feel just how wet you were. âThis all for me, Sweetheart?â, he emphasises the pet name as he lifts an eyebrow.
âEdsâŚEddie, pleaseâ, you beg as he expertly takes his time to move up and down your folds, spreading your juices between your hole and up to your clit.
Your boyfriend gives you a condescending head tilt as his eyes seemed to darken to near pitch black as you keen into his hand, hips jerking to try and feel more. His face drops even lower so you can feel his warm breath teasing your cheek as he asks, âPlease, what?â.
âWant to feel more of you, please fuck me, need to feel you thereâ. You were completely ignoring just how desperate you sounded at that moment, both Steve and Eddie always had to do the absolute bare minimum and youâd be melting in their palm and become a mess. With both of your hands with nothing to grip onto, you reached for his shoulders, feeling the muscles straining beneath as you hopelessly tried to pull him even closer but he was using his strength to remain in place and be in control.
Even with his fingers teasing your pussy, he still wanted to clarify just what you could handle as he voiced his concern, âDo you think you can handle me after yesterday? We did go pretty hard on you last nightâ. His hard exterior was chipping away as he contemplated whether to even continue this little lunchtime fuck.
He was waiting for your response and youâd already made up your mind; reaching between your bodies, you grasped his hand that was teasing the outside of your cunt and whilst moving that and your hips at the same time, you were able to coax his middle finger into your hole. Your back arched instantly, eyes closing and moaning deep within your chest at finally feeling some relief at being touched where you were needing.
âFuck!â, Eddie curses under his breath, taking your actions as an answer enough as he began to regain composure and control by pushing your underwear further to the side, giving him better access to add another finger. In and out, he gently stroked your walls, finally leaning back down to kiss you feverishly once more, his tongue entering your mouth and dancing with your own.
Your fingers returned to gripping at his hair as your hips moved in sync with his coaxing fingers. The pleasure was blooming and tightening throughout your core as he used his guitar-playing, skilful fingers to touch all of the right spots, including his thumb circling your throbbing clit.
You were becoming overwhelmed, not just by his fingers but by also trying to kiss him and beg at the same time, your brain was confused about where to put your energy and in the end as your legs began to tremble and your mewls increased in pitch, all you could do was tip your head back and moan.
Eddie watched your every move with his own arousal going on the back burner as he made sure to spend the time looking after you, especially as you were so good for him last night. âGood girl, youâre taking my fingers so well, donât hold back Angelâ, he praised from above.
You couldnât contain yourself even if you tried as your whole body trembled as your orgasm pulsed through your cunt, your fingers ached with how hard they were holding onto him, your thighs burning with the attempt to keep them wrapped around him. Eddieâs tried to swallow your moans up as he rushed to kiss you, lips lazily moving across one another before resting his forehead against yours as he slowly removed his fingers.
Greedily he brought them up to his lips, releasing his groans and eyes rolling back as he licked his fingers clean, âalways taste so good. Now letâs get these off of youâ. His hands moved to either side of your underwear and gently eased them down your legs and dropping them just behind him.
You watched his every move just as intently as heâd been watching yours as you tried to catch your breath, the van already feeling humid so a light dusting of sweat stuck to your skin. Eddie didnât seem phased by the rising temperatures as he swiftly unbuckled his belt, pushing his jeans and boxers down only to mid-thigh, not wanting to waste time by fully removing clothes, only the essentials as he once again moved to hover over you.
âLet me see itâ, he asked gently, dropping lower so that his chest brushed yours and all you could do was look into his handsome face. You knew instantly what he was referring to as you reached into your dress, tugging on the lengthy silver necklace and removing it from between your breasts where it naturally stayed, close to your heart. Eddie smiled softly, kissing your lips and then kissing the items attached to the necklace: two rings. One was the thick ring that he used to wear that had a black stone in the centre, and the other was a slim golden band from Steve, a present that had been given to him by his grandpa and now to you. It was nothing marital or even a promise ring for the reasoning that they gave it to you, just one day you were trying on Eddieâs rings and he offhandedly mentioned that you could keep it and Steve, never to be outdone removed the ring on his thumb and gave it to you. However, both rings were too large for your fingers so therefore you kept them on your necklace and now Eddie had the habit of holding onto them tightly whenever Steve wasnât there to join your fun.
You couldnât see his cock as he got comfortable above you, but you suddenly felt it as his tip stroked over your clit as he rocked his hips against yours. A desperate moan echoed around the van and Eddie had to quickly put his hand over your mouth as you became too loud. âNeed to be quiet for me, yeah? This van isnât soundproof, Angelâ.
His lips were by your ear crowded into you, nice and close, making you feel small and trapped which is exactly how you liked it when feeling this needy and submissive. Your trembling fingers gripped onto the back of his shirt as he once again thrust forward, but this time finding its home as he began to slip into your hole. You tried to arch your back with the pleasure sparking across your body with the position you were simply held down.
âFuck!â, Eddie cursed as his own eyes closed in ecstasy, savouring your warmth and tightness as he delved deeper into your hole. âAlways so good for me, arenât you Sweetheart? Always take my cock so wellâ, he praised again, followed by more curses as you squeezed around him to show how much you enjoyed his dirty talk.
Luckily Eddie wasnât in a slow, teasing mood anymore as he began to fuck you fast and deeply, the van even began to rock from the momentum of your bodies. Anyone else who saw in the car park would evidently know what was going on which made it counterintuitive for him to cover your mouth but neither of you seemed to actually care in that moment.
Needing to feel more of him, your hands lowered to the edge of his shirt, and as it was already creased, he didnât mind as you pushed it up and over his hips so you could touch his bare skin. The soft, unmarked areas of him were warm, just like the rest of him. However, your fingers found the deep, angry scars from the bite marks that he suffered during the attack on Hawkins a year and a half ago, which was conveniently how you met him and Steve as you were working the night they both turned up to receive treatment, Eddie more so then Steve. However now, both men had lasting scars from whatever creature had attacked them and the scars, they were like nothing youâd ever seen before. Visually they were like anything trying to heal, the redness fading with each month but when touching them, the scars were ice cold, as in, freezing cold, like they werenât attached to his body. Steve always brushed it off as probably from a rabid animal, as they never told you what had bitten them but it was still unnerving to feel such contrasting temperatures on his midsection.
Eddieâs moans deep into your ear snap you out of your contemplative thoughts as he nuzzled into your neck, still holding the rings on your necklace and the other hand over your mouth. The sweat was causing his fringe to stick to his forehead but he didnât care, his cock still throbbing and fucking into your cunt.
You wish you could beg, unsure of what exactly but you could feel yourself drifting closer to that peak once more. However, you didnât need to verbalise this anyway as Eddie could already tell how close you were by how you were fluttering around his cock and how your fingers were gripping his back tighter. Eddie Munson seemed to know just about everything about you, there was no need to use words with him anymore.
âSweetheart, you feel so fucking good, you wanna cum? Then cum for me, thatâs a good girl, just like thatâ. Youâre shaking once more with the intensity of the orgasm and itâs enough to have Eddie following you through with his own. Hips stuttered with its thrusts as he came deep into your pussy, filling you up with thick streams.
Eddie pants for a moment whilst trying to catch his breath before he seems to remember that heâs still covering your mouth and quickly slips his hand off but then replaces it with a searing kiss, which then moved along your cheek and tickles your jaw. You let out a delicate giggle which causes his softening cock to slip out as he groans deeply and collapses next to you on the mattress.
After a couple of seconds, he decided he couldnât cope with the temperature anymore. Tucking his cock back into his boxers and buckling his jeans once more, he then crawled over to the back of the van, opening it up and allowing the cool whisps of wind to shiver along his skin. Luckily he had parked the van in such a way that the back of it faced a thickly wooded area so no one could see in to witness your half-dressed, thoroughly fucked state.
Eddie sat at the door, breathing in the fresh hair for a moment, fingers itching to reach into his back pocket for a smoke but he refrains as he knows your distaste for it. Instead, he sits back and admires you from where you lay, legs still spread and pussy dripping with his cum. âSo pretty, such a shame that I have to ruin itâ, he comments as he begins to awkwardly climb back through the van and reach over the bench behind you.
Even though you couldnât necessarily see him, you knew he was searching for his hidden box of tissues that you had insisted be kept in the cars for impromptu moments like this. Returning to your side, you let him carefully clear you up and surprisingly his touches were soft enough that you werenât wincing at the contact on your sensitive centre. After, he also helped you back into your underwear which was another shock as he usually liked to keep it in his pocket and tucked your necklace back into your dress.
You continue to lie there, feeling fuzzing and euphoric and he grins down at you, his eyes twinkling with mischief, âYou should bring me lunch more oftenâ.
Giggling at his comment, your hand reached across the mattress to hold his hand, âI agree, I love youâ, you say in a whisper.
âI love you, tooâ, Eddie links your fingers together once more with one hand and idly checks the time on his wristwatch with the other. âShit!â, he swears as his eyes widen checking the time. âYou need to get going if youâre going to make it in time for Stevie boyâs lunchâ.
Even though in the back of your mind, you were still aware of today's plans, it continued to feel like a momentous task to be snapped out of the fun buzz of the after-sex glow as you two began swearing and sitting up, ignoring the slight gush that seeped out of your pussy from the cum that was deeper inside of you as you tried to shuffle close to the sliding door. However, Eddie didnât immediately open it as he took a second to assess your face.
âAre you going to be ok to drive? And we⌠we didnât get time to cuddle or anything and I know after last night you might be feeling a little more needy and I-â, you lifted your fingers and pressed them to his lips to stop his stumbling words.
You appreciated his concern and even though you did feel slightly more floaty than youâd like, you didnât want him to have to worry. So you plastered a fake smile on as you reached out to grab the two sandwiches, holding out Eddieâs for him to take as you explained, âIâll be ok Eds, weâll just have a quiet night tonight or something as we said. Iâm sure Iâll manage. Now please can you help me outâ.
Eddie took the sandwiches and jumped out of the van, holding out his arms for you to grasp and unsteadily stepped back onto the pavement. Your knees were trembling from the fucking so you had to cling to Eddie more than you would have liked to as he walked you back tur own car whilst stuffing his face quickly with his lunch. There, he held open the door and helped you get in, closing the door behind you and waiting for you to roll the windows down so he could lean into the open space.
Strapping your seatbelt across your body, you then held onto the steering wheel tightly, trying to steady your pounding heart as the tremble that had been in your knees now seemed to move throughout your body.
âRemember your promise to eat with Steveâ, Eddie mentioned as he leaned in to kiss your temple and then your cheek. Nodding your head, you continued to smile up at him as you turned the ignition on. âDonât have too much fun without meâ, he jokes, finally leaning away from the car and giving you some room.
âI wouldnât dream of itâ, you laughed, waving out of the window as you drove off towards Family Video.
Since the attack on Hawkins, Steve had been promoted to manager of Family Videos with Robin as assistant manager, typically running the place by themselves. As you approached closer, you briefly checked into the rearview mirror, checking that you piously look as if youâd just been fucked, even though you could still feel the sticky feeling between your legs.
Parking directly outside of Family Videos, you tried to see through the glass to determine if it was busy but you couldnât see a single customer and Steve was looking bored out of his mind behind the desk, his head resting heavily on his fist. Taking one last steadying breath and trying to regain composure, you grabbed the remaining two sandwiches and exited your car, eng into the video store.
With only one foot in the door, you were greeted by a shout of enthusiasm from your boyfriend. âBaby! Thank god! Robin, Iâm going for lunch, donât destroy the place!â You watched as Steve hopped over the desk, being careful not to knock the displays over. It was obvious that he had been desperately waiting for you to arrive so that he had an excuse to leave the madhouse.
âWait, is my bestie here?â, Robin shouted from behind a rack of videos but Steve didnât give you time to say hey as he grasped your hand and tugged out of the door youâd only just entered through.
âHey Robin!â you shouted over your shoulder before being whisked away by Steve. You had to jog slightly to keep up with his long legs as he seemed to be taking you somewhere preplanned. âWhere are we going?â you asked with a giggle as Steve seemed to snap out of his determined march and slowed his pace with an apologetic glance.
âIâve got a little surprise for youâ, he admitted, leaning down to kiss your temple as you squeezed his hand, hugging his arm to your front as he took you around the back of the store, through a small gap in the trees and into a little green area.
Your steps paused with shock as you finally saw his surprise. âSteve⌠is that?â your words trailed off as your eyes widen.
âItâs not much, just thought we could have a little picnic, itâs not often we get to have lunch togetherâ. You had to bite your lip to keep the tears from welling in your eyes, already feeling a little sensitive emotionally, it didnât take much of a soft move from Steve to have your emotions brimming. âBaby, whatâs wrong? If you donât like it, we can do something elseâ, Steve looked worriedly down at you as you quickly shook your head, smiling genuinely up at him.
âI love it! You didnât have to do all of this for meâ. The closer the two of you approached, the faster your heart pounded in your chest. It truly wasnât anything exaggerated, especially as this seemed to have been a spontaneous surprise but heâd found a small checkered blanket, one that you recognised from Eddieâs van that he must have stolen this morning, there was a medley of coke cola cans and chocolate bars that you also recognised but this time from the vending machine from the arcade that was next to the video store and lastly was a wireless radio that was playing the latest Madonna song. âHave I ever told you how much I love you?â
Steve blushed at your gushing compliments, accepting a kiss on the cheek before helping you to sit in the centre of the blanket. âHow was Eddie?â, he asked casually as he sat beside you, his hair bouncing and moving in the wind, despite the copious amounts of hairspray that heâd hastily put in this morning in his rush to get ready.
You were glad to already be hiding your face behind the can of pop as you tried to hide your embarrassed expression. âYeah, it was good!â, you tried to sound as casual as possible, not sure why you werenât admitting to the fucking but you didnât want to burst the little date bubble by detailing how Eddie had been pounding you in the back of his van not that long ago. âMissed you thoughâ, you added for good measure, placing the can down and beginning to crawl over to Steve as the overwhelming need to be touched returned, just wanting to be close to him, his hands on you, even if was just to hold your own.
âOh yeah? What did you miss about me?â he teasingly asked as he extended his legs, hands already reaching for you as you straddled his lap. Your fingers played with the softer hair at the nape of his neck, leaning close to lay butterfly kisses along his cheek whilst his hands settled over your hips, holding you as close as possible.
âIâve missed everything; your lemon shampoo, your perfectly shaped jeansâŚyour sassâ, his hands tightened on your waist as you spoke, a smile spreading on both of your faces at you poking fun at him. But then your tone lowered as you hovered over his lips, âIâve missed you looking at me, your hands touching my skin⌠among other partsâ, you ground your hips down for emphasis, once again ignoring the ache in your muscles and recently used pussy.
Steve groaned as his hands moved lower and beneath your dress to gently stroke over and tickle the backs of your thighs. âCareful Princess, donât you think we had enough fun last night, we donât want to take things too farâ. Even though he was enjoying your burst of need with the tightening of his jeans, you could see and hear the hint of concern.Â
âWe had lots of fun last night but it just makes me crave you moreâ.
Maybe you should have listened to the little voice at the back of your conscious telling you to relax and rest but like any time you are with Steve and Eddie, you were consumed with lust and desire.
Your lips moved against Steveâs, softly at first, like you were both holding back from taking the plunge but as you once again rubbed your pantie-covered core against his tented cock, the reserved nature that Steve was holding onto snapped.
His moaned, deep in his throat and vibrated up his chest as he carefully led you down on the blanket, his hand cradling the back of your head as he began his exploration with his mouth, over your cheeks and to your ear, nibbling your lobe with his teeth, causing your back to arch for more stimulation.
âSo beautifulâ, he muttered against the shell of your ear as his hand skimmed over your chest and squeezed your breast through the material of your dress and bra. It was your turn to moan as your fingers danced over his shoulders, gripping the edges of his emerald family videos vest, unsure whether to continue taking it off as you were both relatively close to the public.
âWill.. will anyone find us here?â, the question lay thick in the air, the deciding factor as to just how far this lunchtime play could continue.
Leaning his weight on his arm next to your head, he contemplated for a moment, his handsome features twisting as he determined how safe it was from people. âHow about this, clothes on and we have to keep our voices down, how does that sound?â
Instantly there were flashbacks to not that long ago with Eddie in similar circumstances and going against your better judgment, you sealed the deal with a searing kiss. Steve had his hands back on you a second later, still keeping your clothes on as he continued to squeeze your breasts and you knew he was desperate to get them out, he always had an obsession with your tits, sucking and playing with them whenever he had the opportunity.
The two of you made out for a while until breathless and your lips were swollen from the friction. He always tasted just as good as Eddie, whereas he was cola and cigarettes, Steve today tasted like chocolate from an earlier bar that he must have eaten whilst using the vending machine. His taste, his touch, his smells, everything drew you to him, almost the opposite of Eddie and yet they were so similar in others.
Needing to feel more of him, you shift your lower half down so that your hips were rolling against each other. Steve could sense your urgency to be touched as he promised against your throat, âDonât worry baby, Iâll look after youâ.
His hands gathered yours, linking both of your hands in one of his, lifting them over your head and then holding them there so you were pinned beneath him. With his spare hand, he began to undo his belt and zip, easing his throbbing cock from out of its restraints and then to your clothed centre, pulling your ruined underwear to the side.
His precum-covered tip brushed against your hole and Steve cursed, leaning up to look down at your aroused expression. âFuck, youâre so wet Princess, really are needy arenât you?â
Once again that was a perfect opportunity to tell him that mixed in with your juices was Eddieâs cum but all words disappeared from your thoughts as he began to fuck into your hole. Slowly as he could, he made sure to watch your reaction to assure that you were feeling comfortable which you were as you had to bite your lip to keep your moans to a reasonable volume.Â
âYou look so good like this, all desperate and ready for my cock, Babyâ, Steve observed, his brown eyes wide and trying to take in every detail. You were trying to do the same but the euphoric, floating sensation had only increased, almost like you were drunk and Steve was the only thing anchoring you to the moment.
Unlike Eddie, Steve was slow with his fucking, rocking your bodies together, tension building and tightening in your core as you could feel the ridges and veins along the shaft of his cock. It felt almost naughty to be fucking outside, where anyone could stumble upon you both and it was exhausting having to keep your voice to a quiet volume. You were tempted to ask him to cover your mouth just like Eddie had but you were distracted by his lips casually moving against yours every so often.
You werenât even able to moan his name out, even though you toted too, in fear that you would end up screaming out in ecstasy so you held onto the hand only both of yours down and moved with his hips.
âThatâs it, one more for me, youâre doing so well, feel so good, Babyâ, Steve encouraged and praised after you orgasm and quivered about him. You were already oversensitive due to the last 24 hours of fucking so as he continued to fucking you through the pleasure, one orgasm turned into two. You had to bite his shoulder to keep the moans and whimpers at bay and seeing you unwind so much beneath him, Steveâs eyes finally closed as his hips stilled.
He pumped his cum into you, breathing heavily into your ear as he kissed you sweetly across your face. Steve remained close over you, noticing how much longer it took for your pussy to stop pulsing around him, as well as the tension throughout your body taking longer than normal to relax until you were melting into the blanket once more. Steve had planned to have an extended lunch break with you, so he could stay wrapped around you when you needed him most but not everything always goes to plan.
âSteve?!â Robin shouted in the distance which had both of you tensing and looking in the general direction of the voice. âIâm sorry for interrupting your⌠canoodling time but you said to come and get you if the delivery guy turns up and well... The delivery guy is here!â
âShit! Shit shit shit!â Steve whispered to himself as he made sure to carefully pull out of you and then began tucking himself back in. âIâm so sorry, Iâve been waiting for this delivery all week and they were supposed to be here all morning and- shit!â Steve angrily ran his fingers through his hair, messing up the style but it still looked effortlessly good like usual.
In your blur of feeling exhausted and foggy, his panic seeped through and seemed to clear some of the blur that was in your consciousness. âItâs ok Steve, honestly donât panic, itâs fineâ, you try and say without sounding too muffled as your tongue suddenly felt too big for your mouth. Wiggling the feeling back to your fingers, you quickly moved your underwear back to normal, ignoring the significant gush that poured out of your pussy as you sat up, your underwear was thoroughly ruined now.
âItâs not fine, I donât want to leave you like this, especially after last night-â, Steveâs words were cut off as you leaned over and placed your fingers over his lips.
âItâs fine Steve, really it is. Iâll just see you when youâre home, do you want me to help you clean up the picnic?â
Steve smiled against your fingers, kissing them before tugging them away, âNo donât worry about this, Iâll come back and clean this later. Are you sure youâll be alright? I mean, youâve still got to drive back home. You could always come and sit behind the desk with me. But we donât have a chair or anything but I could make it workâ. Fondness warmed through your body as you shook your head.
âThanks for the offer but Iâll be ok, think itâll probably be better if I go home and showerâŚagainâ. Steve nodded and cupped your cheek, kissing you softly before standing and righting his clothes before holding out his hands for you to take.
You did with a toothy smile, hoping the happiness reached your eyes as he carefully helped you stand which took a good 30 seconds for your legs to stop trembling. âAll goodâ, you confirmed when you could take a step without the fear of falling. Steve then reached down and picked up the forgotten-about sandwiches, holding yours out to take. âThanks, Iâll have these when Iâm home and showeredâ.
Steve smiled before saying, âPlease make sure you eat these and maybe before showering just so you have some energyâ. You nodded your head at his suggestion, taking his hand once more and began walking with him back towards Family Videos.
Outside the building there was a large van, unloading boxes of what looked like the latest video releases that Steve needed to sign for.
You wouldnât admit it but with every step that you took towards your car, you felt uncomfortable due to the wetness between your legs and you were worried for a moment that it would leak through and drip down your thighs but thankfully with Steveâs fast pace the two of you were by your car.
You released a relieved sigh once back sitting down, the exhaustion returning once more as Steve leaned through your open window, just like Eddie had as he helped you with your seatbelt. âAre you sure youâll be ok to drive?â
âIâll be fine Steve, I hope the delivery goes okâ, you say before puckering your lips for him to kiss.
He did just that with a low chuckle before tapping the roof of your car, âLove you, please get home safely!â
âLove you too!â, you shouted, waving out of the window as you reversed out of the parking spot and drove in the direction of home. With each mile that passed, you could feel yourself becoming more dazed and floaty, not even needing the comfort of the radio as you were mostly on autopilot with your directions.
Finally, as you parked up in front of your trailer, it all seemed to hit you as you just stared at your home. Yesterday's activities and todayâs had thoroughly exhausted you, struggling now to even keep your eyes open, body trembling with the effects of all the adrenaline that had been pumping through your body. You didnât want to move, didnât have the energy to move as you leaned your forehead against the cool window that youâd just rolled up. Closing your eyes, a deep sleep settled throughout your body.
The sun was beginning to set over the place you called home when the plum-coloured BMW drove down the path to his home, whistling the tune blaring through the radio as he took note of the fact that Eddie wasnât home yet. Steve had a skip in his step as he climbed out of his car, shrugging off his uniform vest and pushing on the porch door, expecting it to open as you were home but it didnât budge. Frowning he pulled out his keys from his pocket, the jingle of them the only noise around the area as he opened up the door.
âBaby? Whyâd you lock the door?â, he shouted into the trailer, about to kick off his shoes when he noticed just how silent the place was, there werenât even any side lamps on like there usually were when you were home alone. âPrincess?â, he called again, quickly searching through the rooms, confused here you were because he was next to your car, maybe youâd gone to visit Wayne he finally decided.
Stepping back out of the trailer with the intent of walking to Eddieâs uncle's trailer, it suddenly felt like ice had been poured over his entire body as he finally found you, eyes closed and leaning against the window of your car. âBabe?!â Steve shouted loud enough that the birds resting on the branches of the surrounding trees flew away.
Opening the door, he quickly caught you before you toppled out of the car, dropping to his knees he cupped your face as you began to slowly wake up. âWhatâs wrong? Are you ok? Talk to me, please!â
âHmm?â you mumble, eyebrows furrowing as you stretched and opened your eyes, completely disorientated and feeling even more exhausted than before. âSteve? Iâm ok, just tiredâ. You nuzzled into his warm hands, closing your eyes again trying to chase that link back to falling asleep.
Steve released a heavy sigh, realising what had happened, and as he stroked both of your cheeks with his thumbs, he leaned forward to kiss your temple in relief. âHave you been asleep all afternoon?â he asked, glancing at the seat beside you and seeing the uneaten lunch you had prepared as you nodded yes in answer to his question. âCome on, let's get you inside.â
Steve felt guilt sitting heavily in his stomach at seeing how much you were struggling to stay awake, still in your ruined underwear, hungry and needing a lot of care. âDo you need me to carry you inside or do you think you can walk?â
âI can walk, just need to hold onto youâ, your response was still done with your eyes closed and leaning into his touch. You were slow and let out little whimpers as you move your legs, the muscles burning intensely but you still were determined to walk, knowing that Steve was feeling bad.Â
As the two of you walked in, his arm wrapped around your waist so that he could take a lot of your weight and help you into the home. âLetâs go to the bathroom, get you in a warm bathâ. As the water heated and began to fill the tub, you used the toilet, as Steve helped you to tiredly remove your clothes, not caring that he was seeing you in such a vulnerable state and you sighed in relief as your ruined, soaked underwear was removed.
âCareful now Princessâ, Steve held your arms as you stepped into the bath, groaning loudly as the water eased the muscles throughout your body as you finally led down and felt some more relief. âDo you think I can leave you for a moment to go and make something for you to eat? You wonât fall asleep will you?â
Now that you were surrounded by warmth and Steve, alertness had returned to you so you gave him a loving smile as you nodded for him to go, not feeling the overwhelming need to be asleep.
When he returned, he sat next to the bath and fed you a freshly made sandwich, stroking your temple with the other hand. âI really did a number on youâ, he pondered as he still was looking at you with his sad puppy dog eyes.
âWasnât just youâ, you responded with a mouth full of bread.
âWhat do you mean?â
Swallowing the food, you decided to finally tell him, âIt was Eddie too but I donât regret it, both of you made me feel goodâ.
Steveâs shoulders dropped slightly, âYou should have told me, I wouldnât have gone so hard-â.
âYou didnât go hard Steve, Iâm just tired thatâs all, I wouldnât have changed anything thatâs happenedâ, you turned to face him fully, leaning over the edge to give him a sweet kiss that seemed to settle his nerves slightly.
This was when the porch door opened and closed, âHello? Where is everyone?â Eddie shouted.
âIn here!â Steve hollered over his shoulder, feeding you another bite of the sandwich.
âAh there you guys are, and having fun without me it seems, I hope heâs treating you well Sweetheartâ, Eddie grins at the sight before him, kicking off his shoes before entering into the bathroom. First, he cupped Steveâs jaw, tilting his head back to give him a lingering kiss, then he rested his hands on the edge of the tub, lowering his body to kiss the tip of your nose and then your mouth, even though you were midchew. âHaving fun in there?â
âYep! Iâm having a very peaceful time, thank youâ.
Eddie joined Steve on the floor, undoing a few of his buttons to become comfortable before noticing the tension still in Steveâs jaw. âWhatâs wrong with you? Did you have to rewind too many videos today?â Steve gave Eddie a deadpan expression before sighing and ruffling his hair and glancing back at you as you quietly stared between the two men. Eddie eyed the two of you with a questioning gaze, âSeriously, what's going on? Are you ok?â he shifted closer and lay a comforting hand on Steveâs tense shoulder.
It wasnât Steve that answered but you, âSteveâs feeling a little guilty because he found me asleep in the car after we ALSO had some fun at lunchâ.
Steve sighed, rubbing circles into his temple, âI didnât know you guys had sex at lunch otherwise I wouldnât have done it too, we needed you to rest today. You werenât just asleep in the car, you were passed out and you hadnât eaten, hence the sandwichâ.
Eddie now turned his disappointed gaze to you, âSweetheart, I made you promise to eat with Steveâ.
Now it was your turn to look guilty and hide away from both of their looks, âI know and I did plan to but then- I donât know, he was so warm and smelled so nice and one thing leads to anotherâ. You were trying to get Steve to smile but neither man seemed to be falling for the flattery or joking tones so you sighed, âIâm sorry ok? It wasnât like I had it all planned that this would happen, and I know I needed to take it easy and rest today with last night. Safe to say Iâve learned my lesson, no more fucking the day after date nightâ.
âRight you areâ, Eddie mumbles, kissing your hand before his eyes brightened with an idea. âTonight you are strictly doing nothing, do you understand me? Stevie here is going to cook, and weâll pick a movie to watch and cuddle on the couch. And absolutely under no circumstances will there be any more fucking, understood?â You and Steve nodded at his rules but Eddie was now looking at Steve, âUnless youâre up for it later big boy, weâre still not off limitsâ.
This finally pulled a smile to the corner of Steveâs lips as he glanced at his boyfriend, leaning over to kiss his cheek before standing, muttering that heâll go and look at what it is for him to cook.
Eddie then stood too, leaving and returning a moment later with one of his old oversized jumpers that had a graphic of an old comic, flaking on the back of it. âLetâs get you out and warm Sweetheartâ.
Having been sitting down for so long, your legs were unstable once more so you clung to Eddie who didnât care that he was getting wet, wrapping you thoroughly in a fresh towel and helping to dry your body before dressing in his jumper. After, he made sure you were comfortable back in the living room on the couch, the blanket from the bedroom thrown over your lap.
He didnât return for a few minutes as he dressed out of his work clothes in grey joggers, an old black sabbath shirt and his hair pulled into a loose bun at the nape of his neck. âI wasnât sure if you wanted a warm drink or a cold one so I brought bothâ, he declared, standing before you with a cup of coffee in one hand and a glass of water in the other.
âThank you Eddieâ, you smiled lovingly up at him, accepting the cup of coffee before huddling back against the couch, manoeuvring your body around until comfortable with Eddie half wrapped around you, your head resting on his chest.
Heâd selected Star Wars, which you should have anticipated as it was usually his choice of film when it was his turn to pick a movie. Steve joined the two of you not long after, moaning under his breath at the choice of the movie as he handed the two of you a plate full of food, even though youâd just eaten, you were more than ready to eat again.
They both stuck to their word and wouldnât even let you help them to wash up the dishes. Movie night then turned into watching the sunset out on the porch, gathered in a bundle of warm limbs and blankets as Eddieâs music played from the open window of the bedroom. You had fallen asleep before seeing the sun disappear over the edge of the trees, only briefly waking up as you were gently laid down in the centre of the bed, not bothering to open your eyes as you heard Steve and Eddie quietly talking to one another about which side they were going to sleep on. Only when both of their arms wrapped around your middle did you finally let the comfort of sleep encompass your mind, regretting nothing from the day and already looking forward to waking up with another day with your boyfriends.

07.08.2025 â ěë
íě¸ě ěŹëŹëś?ďżź Itâs only about 2:45 PM here in Seoul, but I feel like Iâve already done a full dayâs worth of things.
âď¸đ This morning, I got coffee with a friend before barely surviving another 3-hour class. We have a quiz tomorrow so I need to study for that and take some new vocab notes. ďżź
𼪠After class I got my favorite go-to lunch from the convenience store (an egg sandwich and those tofu rice things, lol) ￟then rested in the dorm for a bit.
đśââď¸Then, despite the 95-degree weather and beaming sun, I took a short walk (about 10 minutes) to a pharmacy to get a medicine I needed. I was nervous, but the pharmacist was really nice even though she didnât speak much English. There was no one else in the store at the time I was explaining what I needed so I felt more comfortable.ďżźďżź On the way back, I treated myself to a vanilla bean latte and chocolate cake from a Twosome Place.
đť Now back, I need to study and work before showering. There is a scheduled field trip to a baseball game tomorrow evening that I am signed up for, but I am really not looking forward to the heat. I think I should still go, but dang itâs gonna be hot.

đˇHow to become the ideal studious and feminine girl of your dreams:đˇ
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ

ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
1. Create a Serene Morning Routine đ¸
Wake up gently â°: Rise around 7:00 AM, allowing natural light to filter in. Start your day calmly with a soft stretch and a few moments of reflection. đż
Hydrate & nourish đ: Begin with a glass of lemon water, followed by a light, healthy breakfast like a bowl of fresh fruit or a delicate yogurt parfait. Consider a cup of rose or chamomile tea for a calming start. đˇ
Skincare & self-care đ§: Pamper yourself with a simple skincare routineâthink hydrating serums, soothing rosewater mist, and light moisturizers. Let your skin glow naturally.
Dress with purpose đˇ: Choose a soft, pastel-colored blouse or a cozy cardigan paired with tailored trousers or a midi skirt. Aim for comfort without sacrificing elegance. Minimalistic makeup with a natural glow will complement this effortlessly chic look.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
2. Set Up an Aesthetic Study Space đ
Curate a peaceful study area đď¸: Design a workspace with calming pastel huesâthink soft pinks, whites, and blush tones. A clean desk with a simple vase of fresh flowers đš or a small succulent plant can make the space feel inviting and peaceful.
Organize your study materials đ
: Keep your notebooks, pens, and tech essentials neat and visually appealing. Consider using elegant stationery, a classic leather planner, and high-quality notebooks that make note-taking feel more intentional.
Create a serene ambiance đŻď¸: A softly scented candle or diffuser with lavender or vanilla will enhance the calm atmosphere. Use soft lightingâperhaps a vintage-style desk lamp or string lightsâto keep the space warm and inviting.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
3. Study with Focus đ


Adopt a structured study routine đ°ď¸: Use time-blocking techniques like the Pomodoro method (25 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break). This ensures productivity while still giving you time to recharge.
Take thoughtful notes â¨: When studying, aim for neat, organized notes. Consider using a subtle color palette of soft pastels for headings or highlighting key points. A journal for reflections or mind-mapping ideas can help reinforce your learning while maintaining elegance.
Incorporate calming rituals đą: During breaks, make a ritual out of brewing a cup of tea, stepping outside for a breath of fresh air, or reading a few pages of a book you find inspiring. These little moments help reset your mind and keep you grounded.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
4. Stay elegant during Everyday Activities đ
Dress for the day with intention đˇ: Choose outfits that are both functional and refined. Think crisp button-up shirts, tailored blazers, or simple dresses that flatter your figure. A pop of soft color like blush pink or lavender adds just the right touch of elegance.
Scent & ambiance đ¸: Incorporate a signature fragranceâsomething subtle and sophisticated like rose, bergamot, or lavender. Use it to create a sensory memory that associates your workspace and study routine with calm, focus, and femininity.
Mindful moments đ: Throughout your day, practice mindfulness in small actions. Whether itâs savoring your morning coffee or taking a moment to appreciate the quiet of your study space, embracing these mindful pauses adds depth and grace to your routine.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
5. Nourish Your Mind & Body đ
Stay active with purpose đ§ââď¸: Gentle movement is key to maintaining energy and focus. Incorporate light stretching or yoga into your day to stay centered. A walk in nature or a moment of fresh air can help clear your mind and boost creativity.
Hydrate & eat with care đ: Drink plenty of water and enjoy healthy snacks like fresh fruit, nuts, or a light salad. The focus is on simplicity and nourishmentânothing too heavy or overly complicated.
Prioritize rest đ¤: A good nightâs sleep is essential. Aim for 7-8 hours of rest to ensure you wake up refreshed and ready to tackle your studies with renewed focus.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
6. Stay Curiousđ§


Engage in intellectual exploration đ: Read regularly, not only academic texts but also literature that inspires you. Whether itâs contemporary fiction, a classic novel, or insightful non-fiction, allow yourself to explore topics that fuel your curiosity.
Develop hobbies that complement your studies đ¨: If you're studying IT or technology, cultivate interests in related fields such as graphic design, coding, or digital art. These creative pursuits can complement your academic life and add a layer of intellectual sophistication.
Reflect & evolve đŹ: Regularly take time to reflect on what youâve learned, both academically and personally. Journaling or discussing your studies with a friend or mentor can deepen your understanding and help you stay motivated.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
7. Embrace a Balanced Social Life đ¸
Engage with like-minded people đ: Surround yourself with individuals who share your intellectual interests. Cultivate friendships that are both supportive and stimulating.
Find joy in leisure â: Take time for relaxing activitiesâwhether itâs enjoying a quiet afternoon in a cafĂŠ, reading in the park, or having a thoughtful conversation with friends. Balance work and play to keep your spirit light.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
8. Curate a Signature Aesthetic đ
Style with elegance đ
: Opt for soft, muted colors in your wardrobeâthink pale pinks, whites, and creams. Simple, well-tailored pieces that feel timeless and feminine will give you a polished, coquette look without being overly cutesy.
Subtle accessories â¨: A delicate necklace, a chic watch, or a pair of understated stud earrings can enhance your elegance without overwhelming your outfit.
Hair & makeup đż: Keep your makeup minimal and fresh. Soft blush, natural eyeshadow, and a subtle pink lip will accentuate your features. Hair can be styled in a clean, soft wayâthink loose waves, a neat bun, or a low ponytail with a cute hairpin.
ŕł đ¨ â§ Ë đ âšË. âĄ
9. Reflect & Cultivate Confidence đ
Journaling & self-reflection đ: Take time to write down your thoughts, ideas, and goals. Reflecting on your progress and dreams helps you stay grounded and focused while nurturing your creative side.
Embrace the art of balance âď¸: Know when to push yourself and when to step back. The key to staying grounded in both your studies and personal life is understanding the importance of rest and rejuvenation.
⊠⏠â.đ§ââžââşââ§. đˇ ⊠⏠â.đ§ââžââşââ§
Example of a productive routine to stick to đ:
7:30 AM: Wake up and start your day with hydration (lemon water or herbal tea), followed by a light breakfast. đ¸
8:00 AM: Gentle skincare, light makeup (rosy cheeks and soft pink gloss), and an outfit that makes you feel put togetherâperhaps a soft sweater and a pencil skirt.đˇ
9:00 AM: Start your first study session with focused, gentle concentration. Take notes in an organized way, using soft pastel highlighters.đ
11:00 AM: Take a 10-minute break for tea or a quick walk outside.đˇ
12:00 PM: Continue studying, followed by a short mindfulness session or a few minutes of journaling.đ
1:00 PM: Enjoy a light, healthy lunch. Maybe a salad or a fruit bowl with a refreshing drink.đˇ
2:00 PM: Afternoon study session, paired with calming music or a podcast that aligns with your interests.đ
5:00 PM: Stretch or practice yoga for relaxation.
6:00 PM: Wind down with a cozy dinner and some light reading or an intellectual podcast.đˇ
8:00 PM: A relaxing skincare routine and time to reflect on your day in your journal.đ
10:00 PM: Restful sleep to rejuvenate for the next day.đ

for angel :3c
bleeding heart asks!
đ BOOKS â what level of education has your oc most recently completed/is currently in (GED, undergraduate, grad school, phd, etc)?
angel was nine years old when the outbreak happened, so "officially" speaking he has never finished elementary school :( after the outbreak, he lived in the protection zone of phoenix, arizona, for a long time, and he would've had more education here; though it was vastly different from ours, a lot more focused on teaching kids essential survival skills and how to take care of themselves, so think of first aid, cooking, navigation, and so on
following this standard education, angel picked up more first aid classes which eventually led him to the protection zone's hospital where he started his internship and then began studying to become a surgeon! because of the state of the world at that point (with zombies running free everywhere), it wasn't comparable to studying medicine as we know it now; but it helped him become a very good doctor anyway, which at that point was a lot more important than being able to show people your degree
đť VIOLIN â does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)?
angel can play the guitar a little bit :] he learned how to play from one of his cousins, but never really kept up with it much. he doesn't play a lot anymore and isn't much of a music guy to begin with, really; he enjoys listening to others play, but that's where it stops
đą TRIDENT EMBLEM â can your oc swim? do they enjoy swimming?
because of his education from the protection zone, angel can in fact swim, but he hates doing it so much. he doesn't like being in water at all even if it's just to his ankles (which is why you'll never catch him having a relaxing bath, either; he prefers showers so much more) so he will avoid any sort of situation that requires him to swim. but if he were to end up falling into the lake next to bleeding heart, he will be able to save himself out of it :]
đ DRAGON â what is your oc's favorite mythical creature?
i think angel would like minotaurs, and also werewolves. sexual intent. no further elaboration needed
đ YELLOW HEART â how many languages does your oc speak? what language(s) are they learning, if any?
angel's first language is spanish and his second language is english, and he knows asl too! he used to try and teach himself french as something to keep him busy when on the road (traveling away from the fallen protection zone to go up north), but ever since he's moved into bleeding heart he completely stopped doing that and now remembers basically nothing <3
đŚ SOFT ICE CREAM â what is/are your oc's favorite ice cream flavor(s)?
it's been many years since angel last had ice cream, but he's always been a strawberry guy! vanilla too, preferably a scoop of both of them together :]
đ SPAGHETTI â what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?
saul and emerick always make this really, really good venison stew and angel LOVES it so much. he's never been much of a cook himself, so it's always food that others make for him that he grows to like; he also likes a wide variety of the soups he can get from the community center, and (specifically for summer) some nice juicy pork skewers from the barbecue :]
đ¤ THINKING FACE â what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?
angel can almost always be found leaning on or against something, either holding something in his hands to keep them still or gesturing a lot while he speaks. he's kind of a chronic smiler when in conversation or listening to others, and also has a very attractive laugh that you'll hear a lot since he laughs a lot to make others more comfortable in a conversation
he talks to himself a lot as well, also when other people are around; it's usually just his train of thought he's telling to no one in particular, sometimes including a dumb joke he thought of in the moment and had to say out loud. it helps him focus and stay calm in tense situations :] he also cracks his knuckles a lot. many of his friends hate this
#asks#evkaivo#ask:angel#oc asks#THAMK YOU :] i haven't been spinning him around enough lately but i do love him so much. he's so charming#a lot of his education regarding medicine and first aid and such was just very hands on practical stuff. being thrown right into it#assisting doctors with a variety of tasks. they were already short-staffed before the end of the world can you imagine#how much worse it would've gotten when the outbreak happened </3

I made refs of Vanilla Chocoâs Parents!
Meet Vanilla Cream Cookie! đŚđ
Vanilla Cream Cookie is a traveler from the Creme Republic. Constantly she is out making journeys to other lands and Kingdoms wanting to learn about them and share her experience.
In her past travels she ventures into the Dark Cacao Kingdom and meets her soul mate, General Cocoa Powder Cookie. After a couple years of meeting each other, they married and have a daughter named Vanilla Choco Cookie.
Vanilla Cream Cookie is a graduate student of the Parfaedia Institute. While she cannot do magic, she has studied under Eclair Cookie having a fascination with the vast history and many cultures of Earth Bread.
Currently, Vanilla Cream Cookie has been pushing to take the Consul Spot that was once occupied by Mille-feuille Cookie after learning of her scandals with the White Masks. Having a soft spot for children as well as experience, she installs a sanctuary for the orphans.
Vanilla Cream Cookie aspires to do better for the children by enlightening them of the many wonders of Earth Bread, wanting to share how important the Ancients are to their world. In addition, she intends to spread awareness of the Creme Republicâs Dark History though with easy to understand material and clever use of her teachings as she has a strong distaste for how the Republic came to be.
Meet General Cocoa Powder Cookie! đĄđŤ
G. Cocoa Powder Cookie is a Cacao Warrior whom worked his way up to become a Cacao General of the Citadel - earning the trust of King Dark Cacao Cookie. He is regarded as a great General who looks over the guards and highly respects the Dark Cacao Watchers; they too respect him in return.
In his early years just after becoming a General, he met Vanilla Cream Cookie who quickly took a liking to him. Having a stoic nature about him, he never displayed what he thought or felt at first. After a couple of years of her frequent visits to the kingdom, he started to grow fawned of her and eventually fell for her softness, sweetness, and intellect. He then married her and soon as a daughter named Vanilla Choco Cookie, his pride and joy.
As a Dark Cacao Warrior he is quite versatile in combat, able to use swords, bows, staffs, or even a wooden spoon. To him, anything is a good weapon if you see their strengths. Tactical and strategic, he operates and maintains clear paths from threats that connect the villages to the Citadel.
Currently, he is still a respected General. He has grown a little wary ever since the inevitable betrayal of Affogato Cookie as he never trusted him in the first place. He worries of his Kingâs health especially since his son, Prince Dark Choco had returned home revealing to be more treacherous than Affogato at first. As a father himself, he knew the boy was lost and could tell he didnât want to destroy his own home, but his anger and sorrow for his father was plain to see.
I will make little comics or storyboards of this as I can see how it will fit with the canon story, just told slightly different in my AU!

â Brewing the Perfect Dalgona Coffee for the Ultimate Study Session â
Hello, coffee lovers and study enthusiasts! If youâre looking for a delightful way to power through your study sessions, look no further than the trending Dalgona coffee (After all, I am a self-proclaimed expert at making this yummy treat).Â
This frothy, sweet coffee drink is not only delicious but also super easy to make. Let's dive into creating the perfect Dalgona coffee to fuel your brain.
(I hopped on the Dalgona coffee trend during quarantine and I never left! Dalgona has been so good to me, maybe you'll enjoy it too!)
Ingredients Youâll Need:
2 tablespoons instant coffee
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons hot water
Milk (any kind you prefer)
Ice cubes (optional, for a cold version)
Step-by-Step Guide to Dalgona Heaven:
1. Gather Your Ingredients First things first, gather all your ingredients. Ensure your instant coffee, sugar, and hot water are in equal parts. This balance is crucial for achieving that perfect fluffy texture.
2. Mix the Coffee, Sugar, and Hot Water In a mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water. Using a hand whisk, electric mixer, or even a spoon, whip the mixture until it becomes thick and frothy. This can take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it forms stiff peaks and has a caramel-like color.
3. Prepare Your Milk While your coffee mixture is whipping into perfection, prepare your milk. Fill a glass with your preferred milk. You can use regular cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk, or oat milkâwhatever floats your boat. Add ice cubes if you want a refreshing cold Dalgona coffee.
4. Top the Milk with Whipped Coffee Once your coffee mixture is whipped and ready, gently spoon it over your glass of milk. The thick, frothy coffee should sit nicely on top, creating that iconic layered look.
5. Mix and Enjoy! Grab a spoon or straw, mix the whipped coffee into the milk, and take a sip. Enjoy the creamy, sweet, and slightly bitter flavors that dance on your taste buds. Itâs the perfect pick-me-up to keep you focused and energized during your study sessions.
Pro Tips:
For a healthier version, you can reduce the amount of sugar or use a sugar substitute.
Experiment with flavors by adding a dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or cocoa powder to the whipped coffee mixture- my friends love hazelnut syrup, it's that good.
If you donât have instant coffee, you can use instant espresso powder for a more robust flavor.
Whipped cream elevates everything, there is always an occasion for deliciousness.
Why Dalgona Coffee is Perfect for Studying:
Quick and Easy: It takes just a few minutes to prepare, so you can get back to your books in no time.
Energy Boost: The caffeine kick helps increase focus and concentration, perfect for those long study sessions.
A Fun Break: Making Dalgona coffee can be a relaxing and enjoyable break from the stress of studying.
So, the next time you need a boost while hitting the books, whip up a glass of Dalgona coffee. Happy studying and happy sipping! âđ
Whatâs your go-to study drink?

đđ ACE YOUR EXAMS đđ


This is a guide for people who have exams coming up. It consists of what to do if you want 100% on your upcoming exams, study tips, and more!
Study tips:
Check this masterlist by @merakinotes and also this post+ masterlist by @areistotle it has everything youâll ever need.
Bank of questions / past papers study method: you can create your own questions on Quizlet or any online quiz maker or use past papers/ revision resources.
Study everyday. If your exam is even a month away, thatâs good because it means you donât have to study hours everyday, but you can at least keep a goal to study 30 mins a day or to learn/ understand/ memorise a new thing part of that topic every day.
Feynman technique. Basically pretend as if youâre the teacher and teach the topic to someone/ something (ex a stuffed animal)
Record yourself talking. When youâre revising, record yourself talking about some of the stuff so you can listen to it later when youâre unable to study.
Visual learning!! Personally, I love this one. If youâre studying something like science, history, etc, then draw pictures! Draw pictures to better help you understand a word/ concept. (Example: in science I couldnât remember the whole definition of combustion so I just drew a stickman image of the atom and the oxygen and then those 2 chemically combined)
During the exam:
Never turn the exam in early!! Are you finished? Then re read the exam and re take the exam. Double check, triple check etc your answers. Keep looking through your answers again and again, step by step. Only give the test in at the very end.
Watch the clock! Donât spend lots of time on one question trying to figure it out. Look at the time and make sure you still have enough to complete all the questions and maybe also recheck them.
If you donât completely understand a question/ itâs more complicated: skip it and go to the next question. Come back to that harder question later.
Manifesting:
Remember: the 100/100 grade is already yours. You just need to claim it!
Affirmations: you can create your own set of customised affirmations or you can use THIS affirmation list that I made for high grades
Subliminal: Iâve made a playlist on YouTube with all my favourite academic subliminals. You can also search up 100/100 grades or full marks in tests subliminals.

More resources:
(These are just to further help you if these tips do not help. Remember that watching videos or reading about studying/ study tips is not studying. Itâs procrastinating. Consume these in moderation.)

North America Nutritional Bars Market, Size, Segment and Growth by Forecast Period: 2023-2028
The North America nutritional bars market is expected to grow from US$ 2,200.46 million in 2022 to US$ 2,881.06 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2022 to 2028.
Product Developments and Launches by Nutritional Bars Manufacturers Drive North America Nutritional Bars Market
Over the past few years, people have become more concerned about what they eat and the nutritional profile of the products they eat. Nutritional bars manufacturers are engaging in various strategic development initiatives to sustain in the market by offering innovative products to customers. For example, in 2022, LUNA, the women-centric brand by Clif Bar & Company, launched a new line of bars containing 2.5 grams of prebiotics. These are the first bars with prebiotics. Studies show that 5 grams or more of fiber-containing prebiotics can propel the development of beneficial bacteria in the gut, supporting digestive health. đDownload Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @https://www.businessmarketinsights.com/sample/BMIRE00028067
In 2017, Kellogg Company acquired RXBar, a company producing clean-label protein bars made with whole food ingredients. Adding a pioneering, clean-label, high-protein snacking product to Kellogg's portfolio bolstered the company's already strong wholesome snacks offering. With a base of egg whites, fruit and nuts, each RXBar provides 12 grams of protein. They are available in 11 different flavors, with additional seasonal and limited-time varieties, which are distributed in the US. The company also recently launched RXBar Kids in kid-friendly flavors and portions, which contain the same core ingredients as RXBars. In 2020, Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. introduced Atkins Endulge Dessert Bars. These bars offer a unique texture, with a rich, creamy burst of flavors on the outside and a subtle crispiness on the inside. These keto-friendly, high-fiber treats contain 130 calories, 3 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of sugar per serving. In 2022, Simply Good Foods Co., a company developing and marketing nutritional foods and snacks, expanded its Atkins and Quest brands with several new product launches. Under the Atkins brand, Simply Good Foods has introduced new Keto Peanut Butter Cups, Caramel Almond Clusters, Chocolate Crème Wafer Crisps, and Vanilla Caramel Pretzel Bar. Under the Quest brand, the company has introduced Quest Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bars. The bars are coated with chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate. They are free of gluten and contain 3 grams of net carbohydrates, 17 grams of protein, and 1 gram of sugar per serving. They are available in three sizes: 4-count multi-packs, 1-count bars, and 12-count cartons. In 2022, Nature Valley launched Protein Crunch bars with a creamy and crunchy texture. The product contains 10 grams of protein with ingredients such as creamy peanut butter and crunchy nuts in a whole-grain oat bar. This new addition to the Nature Valley Protein lineup is ideal for between-meal cravings. In 2022, Kellogg's Special K introduced new Protein Snack Bars, with 6 grams of protein and 90 calories per bar. These are available in two flavors: sweet berry vanilla and rich chocolatey brownie sundae. These new Special K Protein Snack Bars can be carried as an easy, on-the-go protein snack. Such product launches attract consumers to choose from a wide range of nutritional bars, which is eventually bolstering the growth of the North America nutritional bars market.
North America Nutritional Bars Market Overview
The North America nutritional bars market growth is attributed to the rising preference for on-the-go snacking, meal replacement, functional food, and indulgence. Consumers looked for healthier alternatives with high nutritional value in food and beverages to boost immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rising demand for nutritional bars, including protein bars, high-fiber bars, and meal replacement bars, from young adults and athletes, is also driving the market growth in this region. These nutritional bars enhance the performance and stamina of athletes and fitness lifestyle users. Further, the growing number of health and fitness-conscious individuals has increased the demand for functional products such as nutritional bars. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, average daily participation rates in sports and exercise grew by 3.6% between 2003 and 2015. An increasing number of sports participants in the US is likely to boost the demand for energy bars in North America during the forecast period. Also, the popularity of sugar-free, gluten-free, and low-carb nutritional bars is growing across the region.
Moreover, the rising vegan population and veganism are boosting the demand for plant-based nutritional bars. Thus, leading manufacturers are launching plant-based nutritional bars to cater to consumersâ demands. For instance, in June 2020, RXBAR, a Kellogg subsidiary, launched its first plant-based nutritional bar. This bar contains 10g of plant protein obtained from peas and almonds. Such product innovations by manufacturers are expected to boost the North America nutritional bars market growth during the forecast period.

Exciting News for Nymara Fans! đâ¨
Hey everyone! Iâve been working hard on the Nymara story, and Iâm so excited to finally share it with you all! While Iâll be posting snippets of the story, art, and probably some fun mini comics here on Tumblr, I want to let you know that Iâm posting full chapters over on Wattpad! đđ
Iâll be updating the story regularly, so you can dive into all the details, character interactions, and world-building in their full glory! đ
Want to get a taste? Here's a quick snippet from Chapter 1: Caffeine and Chemistry to get you hooked!đ
Snippet:
Cas ducked into the cafĂŠ, the bell above the door chiming softly as warmth wrapped around him, chasing away the damp chill of the storm outside. The scent of espresso, vanilla, and something buttery-sweet filled his lungs, grounding him. He exhaled heavily, raking a hand through his soaked curls as water dripped from the hem of his hoodie onto the tiled floor.
âI shouldâve checked the damn weather before I left the shop,â he muttered, shaking out his hoodie before pulling it over his head. The fabric was drenched, sticking uncomfortably to his skin.
âWell,â a voice said, warm with quiet amusement. âYou wouldnât be the only one caught off guard.â
Cas looked up just as a hand towel was tossed his way. He caught it easily, the scent of sea salt and citrus clinging faintly to the fabric.
Scylla stood behind the counter, arms crossed, watching him with those dark, knowing eyes. Gold beads glittered in the intricate braids piled atop her head, the glow of the cafĂŠ lights catching on the delicate rings woven into her hair. The white curve of her eyeliner made her gaze even sharper, assessing.
Cas ran the towel over his face, then down his arms, sighing in quiet relief at the warmth. âThanks,â he murmured.
She nodded toward the espresso machine. âWant something to warm you up?â
âThatâd be great.â
Scylla hummed in acknowledgment, already moving, and Cas found himself watching her. There was something effortlessly graceful about the way she worked, as if she had been made for thisâlike the ocean itself had shaped her, tempered her into something both powerful and precise.
The cafĂŠ wasnât busy, but there was a steady rhythm to it. The occasional soft murmur of conversation, the distant scratch of a pen against paper from a student studying in the corner, the gentle clinking of cups and saucers being stacked behind the counter. It was warm, invitingâa stark contrast to the storm raging just beyond the fogged-up windows.
Cas leaned against the counter as Scylla set down a cappuccino in front of him. He blinked.
A dolphin swam in the foam, the art intricate, detailed.
He huffed a quiet laugh, shaking his head. âShowing off?â
Scylla smirked. âMaybe.â
If youâre as excited as I am, head over to Wattpad and catch up on all the juicy details and character drama! I canât wait to share the rest with you. đđ
