#she’s awful in some ways for sure. obviously leagues better than the alternative but like#eugh#still feels gross voting for someone who gets so much support from aipac#and like I’m gonna be real#supporting the governor vetoing a ban on gender affirming care is good ofc but like. her own work w queer shit is basically just#‘yeah your gay marriage is still valid in Wisconsin’#like cmon Tammy I thought you were for they/them#she wasn’t involved but I’m thinking now about at least one of those bills that I went to the public hearing for#wore my trans flag as a cape lmao#a guy did come into the Capitol with a loaded gun while it was happening so that was terrifying#idk man.#thinking in particular about one kid on puberty blockers who kept getting interrupted and he was so fucking brave#I hate that a middle schooler has to be so fucking brave#he should’ve been in school he shouldn’t have been fighting for this#thinking about another person who came up and silently did their t injection and then shrugged and was like ‘that’s it’ and walked out#ugh I hate this state I hate this state I hate this state#I hate that even Madison is still so conservative under the liberal veneer#there is compassion in the community but I am not really a part of it#I am excited to get back to Vermont idk#not to my parents’ house necessarily lmao. but I love Vermont a lot#I just. don’t want to be afraid.

Am I the only one who cares about the historical accuracy of depictions of puritans in popular media or...
#this is about Wednesday#Pilgrims in vermont in 1625? I don't think so#They were still stuck in Plymouth then half starving cuz they were stupid#Also witch hunts weren't happening in the 1620s#Cuz again they were too busy trying to establish a functional colony#The witch hunts were much later frankly#And also Salem was an anomaly witch trials were not that common before#They happened but weren't as wild#AND ANOTHER THING they did not dress Like That#...this is not a defense of pilgrims or puritanism I just don't understand why people can't at least get the basic shit right#new england history isn't that hard to look up people just set the show in Massachusetts and you were FINE#...anyways overall 8/10

TST: Can we talk about vampire!gatty lore?
Happy Talk Shop Tuesday thank you for sending me this ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ask!!
YESSS Oh my gosh, as a millennial this is one of my favorite topics. I am ALWAYS down to talk about the vampires. I'm so excited to finish up some of my current projects so we can dive head on into the Vampire 75 situation.
As previously established, Vampire!Fictional!George is the one that turns Fictional!Matty into a vampire and he does so to save his life. Vampire!Fictional!George is then absolutely wrecked with guilt because he feels as if he has acted selfishly damning Fictional!Matty to a life of the undead. Meanwhile Fictional!Matty is just like, so happy and thinks this is the greatest thing to ever happen to him! He and Vampire!Fictional!George can be together FOREVER now because they are both vampires!! Vampire!Fictional!George just needs to ask him out...
Vampire!Fictional!George is not hundreds of years old. He's like twenty six. He's been twenty six for a few months. His birthday was in March.
Vampire!Fictional!George has some family in the United States that the rest of his family doesn't really talk to anymore. He does however make a point of getting tea with Uncle Ben whenever he is in Philly.
Fictional!Ross gave Fictional!Matty a vampire plushie as a joke while he was in the hospital recovering from the reason he had to be turned into a vampire / being turned into a vampire (The Incident™️) and vampire!Fictional!George is like YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT OH MY GOD IT'S SO INSENSITIVE meanwhile Fictional!Matty thinks its the greatest thing ever and names it Count George-ula, vampire!Fictional!George is horrified
Speaking of Fictional!Ross he may or may not be a werewolf, Fictional!Matty isn't sure and no one will confirm either way. He thinks they might be fucking with him but maybe they aren't? It's been an on going debate.
Fictional!Matty is extremely squeamish and hasn't gotten over the whole "he needs to drink blood to survive now" thing yet so he's just... not. This is not going well and Vampire!Fictional!George is even more pissed when he finds out.
Vampire!Fictional!George is so stressed keeping Baby Vampire Fictional!Matty alive is a lot harder than he anticipated - his parents think it's hilarious they're like "lol you turned him he's your responsibility"
Thank you for sending this ABSOLUTELY incredible ask and getting me all excited about Vampire75 again. I think I might have to go revisit the draft today and work on it some 👀 I hope you continue to enjoy my works and if you ever wanna chat about the vampire boys please know my inbox and my DMs are both very enthusiastically always open! I hope you are having an incredible Tuesday and that you have a wonderful rest of your day!
❤️Ally
#allylikethecat#ask ally#anon ask#keep it kind#fanfiction#matty fic#gatty#fanfic#talk shop tuesday#vampire75#vampire 75#vampire!gatty#wow i forgot how much i loved the vampire au#i gotta think of a title for this#i think it might be the next project to start being posted 👀#unless the fictional!Matty / fictional!noah kahan situation actually happens lol#i just think about that tweet sometimes#the brain rot is real#they're in vermont and oh so sad

Does anyone happen to know of any good trans friendly doctors in Vermont ? I need a new primary and a gyno mostly and I just don’t feel comfortable with the office I’ve been going to anymore, especially now that I’m old enough to kind of need the gynecology aspect of it. Also if you live in Vermont can we kiss…. Lol jk. I know nobody even knows what Vermont is.
#rain rambles#sigh#I love living here it’s really nice but it’s also expensive and there’s nothing going on#I swear to you I’m not even kidding we don’t have gay bars#like there’s maybe one in the whole state 😭#it’s weird because vt is very progressive and most places present as trans friendly but#it’s also a mostly white rural state that doesn’t really attract a lot of lgbt people#so there’s actually not THAT many of us here#and therefore not much of a market towards catering to us specifically#whereas in like Albany ny there are so many people concentrated into one city and a lot of them are lgbt because Albany caters to them#with pride and gay bars#and so it makes sense for a dr to specialize in trans people in Albany#but we ain’t got no happening cities in Vermont and no gay bars#young lgbts aren’t moving here#so a dr wouldn’t make any money specializing in trans people around where I live#still#you’d think Bennington would have like one dr#lots of new Yorkers go to Bennington for lots of things as it’s really close to the border#Bennington hospital used to take my ny insurance when I lived there even

With all the focus on the swing states that's gonna be happening today, as a non-American, I just wanted to give a quick shoutout to the safe blues.
People in Hawai'i, Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska's 2nd, Minnesota, Illinois, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and District of Colombia: without your vote, democracy around the world would have been in jeopardy no matter which way the swings went. Even if you're not getting the press you deserve, thank you so much.
On top of that, thank you so so SO much to all the people in safe reds who are voting blue. It can be infuriating to know your voice is being muffled, and even more infuriating to be lumped in with MAGA just by virtue of where you live. Despite what it seems, your vote really does make a massive difference: even if it isn't enough to flip, the more people who vote blue, the better the chance it might next time!
Good luck Americans - if you're shitting yourself with stress over the next few days, know the rest of the world is shitting with you 🫡
#us politics#us elections#november 5th#good luck America!#the world is watching and we wish you the best ❤️

OK SOO!! could you do a fic where the reader and matt are like best friends and you guys going on trip to a cabin that your friend knew and there was not enough seats so you had to sit on his lap and then the rest of what happens is up to you❕
- TIGHT FIT -
- Matt Sturniolo x Fem Reader (she/her pronouns used)
- Warnings: 18+⚠️SMUT⚠️ (I know I said I would never write smut but….. the opportunity is right there okay), making out, friends to lovers, use of y/n, profanity, I truly hope that’s it; NOT PROOFREAD
- About: request above 🤭🤭
- Pre-A/N: if you are a minor I do not condone you reading this but do with it what you will 🤷🏻♀️
—————————————————————————————
Y/N’s POV:
Today was the day! Madi had asked Nate, Nick, Matt, Chris, and I if we would like to go on a trip to a cabin in Vermont with her that was planned by Laura.
We all met at the triplets’ house in Boston because it was easier to drive from there to the cabin, rather than flying and being without a car because we didn’t want to rent one.
We planned to use Nate’s mom’s car. It sat 6 people and had enough room for our bags in the trunk.
We all woke up to Mary Lou making pancakes for us all like the absolute icon she is.
“Hey guys, it’s 6:30am. If we all get ready really quick and throw our bags in the car before we leave, then we can eat and be out of here by 8:00. Which, leaves us with enough time for lunch and to check in at 1pm.” Nick stated.
The place we were going to was only about a 4 hour drive from the house, so it wasn’t too long.
“Oh and y/n remember you gotta sit in Matt’s lap-” he added on.
“What?” I laughed at what I thought was a joke.
“Nate’s mom couldn’t let us use her car so now we have to use ours? Which is five seats? And you and Matt are the closest? Don’t you remember Madi telling you this?” he laughed along with me.
No. I didn’t remember. Because Madi did not tell me that I would have to sit on my best friend’s lap the whole car ride.
“Well I’m sure there will be room in the trunk.” I shrugged it off like it was nothing. Matt wasn’t even in the room to protest with me.
8:00am
“Alright uhhh seems like there is no room back here so Matt’s lap is the only option… unless we strap you to the stop of the car like a Christmas tree-” Nick laughed.
“My lap? Ah whatever it’s only a 4 hour drive.” Matt glanced over at me.
We all piled into the car, Nate driving, Chris in the passenger seat, Matt behind Nate, Madi in the middle, and Nick behind Chris.
Oh and, don’t forget. Me in my best friend’s lap.
“It’s only weird if you make it weird” I thought to myself.
Everything was fine and going smoothly until about 3 hour in.
11:00am
My legs and hips started to feel cramped, so I felt like it was a good idea to shift as much as I could.
Mistake.
Upon my shifting, Matt grabbed onto my waist, signaling me to stop.
I wasn’t sure why until- oh. That’s why.
He was growing hard underneath me.
I tried to ignore it as best I could but I couldn’t.
I was sitting on my best friends lap with his cock impaling me.
He moved to whisper in my ear.
“I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to do, I can’t make it go away.” the words rushed out of his mouth.
All I did was giggle in response as the breath against my neck made me grow even wetter than I already was.
I decided to tease him.
While the rest of the car slept, except Nate of course, I slowly rocked my hips back and forth on Matt’s growing cock.
“Y/n what are you doing? Stop!” he whispered in my ear frantically.
Again, I only giggled in response.
I kept going faster and faster, making myself feel good as well.
He squeezed my hips and told me to stop or it would end badly. But I didn’t want to.
Then, Nick woke up.
Without noticing what I was doing, he muttered out, “Can we stop at McDonald’s?”
“Sure.” everyone agreed as the sound woke Madi and Chris up.
“Yes, please.” Matt panted out.
“Are you getting hot over there Matty boy?” Chris laughed, not knowing why Matt seemed out of breath.
We pulled into the parking lot of the McDonald’s and we all hopped out.
Matt pulled me aside.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” he raised his voice.
I just shrugged and giggled in response.
“Do you know how hard you already make me by just looking at you? Cut the teasing out or else.” he scolded, then walked off.
I stood there by the car, but just kept wondering what the “else” would be.
We walked inside and talked like normal, all eating and stretching our legs out. A few of us used the bathroom, and then we hopped back in the car.
12:30pm
“30 minutes to the cabin” I thought.
Perfect, that leaves me with 15 minutes of sleeping, and 15 more minutes of teasing Matt.
15 minutes pass by.
“Y/n! You were snoring HAHAHAHAH” Chris pointed out.
“I didn’t mean to, my bad.” I laughed along.
I reached forward, grabbing the charger by Chris to plug my phone in.
I moved my hips forward, then back.
Then adjusted myself about 3 times.
“Stop it.” Matt aggressively whispered in my ear.
“Oops, didn’t mean to.” I giggled.
We pulled up to the cabin, checked in, and brought our stuff inside.
“Chris and Nate that’s your room…Madi this is our room…and Matt and y/n that’s your room!” Nick happily cheered.
“Me and y/n sharing a room?” Matt scoffed.
“Uh… you guys always do? Y’all are best friends, remember?” Nick said, obviously confused.
Matt and I sat out stuff down as Nick announced that they were all going to the nearby grocery store to pick up essentials.
“We’ll stay here and check this place out.” Matt yelled back.
“We?” I looked at him. “What if I wanted to go-”
“You’re staying right here ma’am.” he interrupted me. “You think you were slick with that little stunt you pulled in the car?” he asked, getting closer and closer to me.
He pushed me onto the bed.
“I’m gonna fuck that tease right out of you baby.” he smirked down at me, as he was leaning over top.
Immediately, he pressed our lips together and they automatically found a perfect sync.
He tugged at the bottom of my tank top, asking for permission, then pulled back and searched my eyes for any hesitation.
Even though he was mad, he still cared.
He ripped my tank top off, as well as his shirt, colliding our lips again.
He trailed sloppy, wet kisses down my neck and onto my chest while slipped my shorts off.
“You’re already soaked for me, huh?” he gently dragged his fingers over my wet panties.
“Matt-” I moaned out, quietly.
“Say my name louder baby it’s all yours.” He continued trailing hickies down my abdomen.
He pulled his shorts and boxers down, revealing how big he was.
My eyes widened.
“What? Think you can’t take it?” he laughed.
“What? No, no I can..” I stumbled over my words.
He dropped to his knees and pulled down my panties, leaving me completely exposed.
As he trailed kisses and softly drug his fingers along my inner thighs, soft moans left my now swollen lips.
He grazed his lips across my dripping wet pussy, teasing me.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
He continued this until I grabbed his hair pushing his face down begging him saying, “Please, Matt, please touch me.”
Finally, he took two fingers and entered them in, hooking them up to hit all the right spots. He then drew circles around my clit with his tongue.
My moans became louder as I was already about to cum.
“Matt-”
“You aren’t allowed to cum yet.” he stood up.
Taking is hardened cock, he placed in at my entrance and slowly pushed in.
As much as he wanted to, he didn’t wanna hurt me.
He waited a second for me to adjust to he size, then slammed into me multiple times. Leaving cries and moans of his name escaping my mouth.
He flipped me over in one swift motion, pulling me on all fours, then pushing my face into the pillow in front of me.
“Fuck Matt you’re so good baby” I murmured out.
Pressing his hand to my back, making me arch even more, he grabbed my hips with his hands and gripped hard.
“Matt- Matt I’m gonna-”
“Come on baby let loose sweet girl.” he was still gentle as ever.
Before I knew it, I was climaxing. Legs shaking and hands gripping sheets while Matt helped me ride out my high.
He then pulled out and painted my back white, moaning my name, before I dropped to the bed all fucked out.
He pulled his boxers on and ran to the bathroom to grab a towel to clean me up.
Then he helped me grab a new pair of underwear and helped me put my clothes on before putting on clothes himself.
“Matt-” I started.
“I told you to stop teasing me in the car y/n.” he smirked.
“Soooo…are we never gonna speak about this or…?” I questioned him.
“You’re my girl.” he helped me lay down.
“What?” I giggled.
“Do you know how long I’ve wanted you y/n?” I grabbed my chin gently.
“I mean I kinda by the fact that you eye-fuck me every time I dress up, or down, or casual, or every time I see you.” I laughed.
“Oh please baby.” he smiled before pulling me in for one more sweet kiss before the rest of them got back.
Oh what a week this is about to be.
—————————————————————————————
A/N: I know I said I would never write smut but I just had to. So, sorry if you didn’t like it.

That December Night-One
*image not mine*
Pairings: Matt Dierkes x Reader
Warnings/Tropes: swearing, smut(18+), angst, fluff, pregnancy/babydaddy!matt, talks of pregnancy.
Summary: "Fuck around and find out." Reader never thought it meant literally until it happened to her. One night of what was supposed to be harmless kissing managed to turn her entire world upside down.
A/N: The idea for this story came from this post and mine and @artificialbreezy's texting back and forth. So thank you so much babe for the ideas you contributed to this story. It's going to be a fun one! Also, I apologize if the sections seem pretty small, I plan on having the most exciting things happen in the next two chapters. This one was a simple build-up!

READER
I should not be doing this, especially in this stranger's car.
This was so wrong. So fucking wrong.
But it felt so right.
He felt so right.
What started as a weekend trip to Los Angeles to visit my now ex boyfriend ended up with me in the backseat of this man’s car; a man I had met less than an hour ago.
My ex, Fred, had moved here a few weeks ago for work, which put a huge strain on our two year relationship. So after working it out with one of my best friends that lived here as well, I decided to come surprise him. She said they’ll be at a party for some rock stars that released an album a few weeks ago. None of that mattered, I only cared to see Fred.
So after flying in from Vermont, taking an Uber all the way from the airport to the other side of the city and spending a pretty penny on it, I maneuvered my way inside the over-packed house filled with bodies, trying to find Fred. My eyes briefly landed on who I assumed were the “rockstars.” Four guys were covered in ink, especially the one with brown swoopy hair, but they all wore goofy smiles as they talked amongst themselves. I marveled at how they seemed like a family and wondered what that was like.
Focus, Y/N.
“Sorry,” I murmured after I bumped into a strong chest.
My eyes flicked up to a man whose eyes were covered by the rim of his hat, golden waves of hair falling around his shoulders.
“You’re fine,” his hands gripped my elbows to keep me steady.
It felt like every part of my soul was lit ablaze by his touch and gaze upon me and I sucked in a breath when I noticed his shirt.
Lord of The Rings.
One of my favorite movies.
Clearing my throat, I ignored the way my heart fluttered when the man’s lips curled up in a faint smile after he caught me staring, and excused myself from him with a nod. His eyes lingered on my back as I scurried throughout the rest of the house to find Fred. I knew it was this house he was at, my friend sent me their pinned location.
After coming up empty on the main floor of the house, I pushed my way through the sea of bodies once again, all of them raising their drinks to the rock stars for a “Kick ass album! Can’t wait for the new era!” Their cheers fell on deaf ears as I climbed the staircase towards where the bedrooms were, hoping yet not hoping to find Fred in one of them.
So naive.
I stood in the doorway of the bathroom, watching as Fred had his face buried deep into some woman's pussy.
No, not just any woman.
My best friend.
With tears burning in my eyes, I turned my back to them, unnoticed, and nearly tripped over my feet as I ran down the stairs; once again nearly falling into someone's embrace.
“Woah, easy there. Did you see a ghost or something?” His chest rumbled with laughter, only to snap his mouth shut when he saw the tears running down my face.
It was the same man I had run into earlier, the one with the Lord Of The Rings shirt.
“Shit,” he cursed. “Are you alright?”
“Uh,” I stood straighter, his hands still resting on my hips. I stood on the stairs, two steps above him so I could stare down at him. “I’m fine. I was just leaving.”
The man didn’t say anything for a long moment, simply watching my face as a way to try and read my mind. Just as his mouth parted to speak, I heard my name from behind me at the top of the staircase.
Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Fred making his way down slowly with my friend trailing behind him. He wiped his mouth on the sleeve of his shirt before giving me a smile.
“Hey baby! I didn’t know you were flying in!”
Tears welled in my eyes again, my heart breaking at the scene I saw less than five minutes ago. Two years of love and what I thought eventually marriage thrown away by lust and lies.
The man at the bottom of the stairs noticed the way my body shook in his embrace as I continued to stare at Fred.
“Do I need to kick his ass?” he asked.
Turning my head towards the man, I blew out a shaky breath. “Can you get me out of here? Please?”
His smile faltered but immediately nodded, leading me through the crowd of people and away from Fred, who called after me.
“Where can I take you?” The man asked as we neared the front door, halting for a moment to glance back at my face.
Anywhere is better than here.
“My hotel,” I choked out, doing my best to keep the sobs locked away.
I wouldn’t cry. Not for Fred.
I should have said no, I could find my own way back to my hotel that there was no use for anymore since I was leaving in the morning. But there was something soft in the way his thumb brushed away the tears from my face that eased away the fear of who this man truly was. So I accepted his offer to drive me back to my hotel since it was pretty late and I knew that this area could be dangerous in the dark.
It was mid December in Los Angeles, a vast difference to Vermont. Something the man made fun of when he noticed me take off my bulky cardigan as soon as we stepped outside.
“You’re not from here, are you?” He chuckled his question as we walked down the street toward his car.
I sniffled and wiped my nose on the back of my hand. “No. I fucking flew all the way from Vermont to surprise that asshole only to find him tongue fucking my best friend. How fucking cliche is that?!” I rambled on, my voice a lost echo into the night sky.
He hummed while shrugging. “Clearly it’s his loss.”
With him holding the passenger side door open for me, I slipped inside just as rain began to fall from the sky, drenching him instantly. I couldn’t help but chuckle in my broken state as he ran around the car, splashing a puddle that drenched his pants from knees down.
“How the fuck did I manage to step in the only puddle,” he cursed himself once he sat behind the steering wheel, shaking the rain out from his hair.
He cocked his head to the side as he stared at me. “I’m glad you think this is funny.”
“Hey compared to what just happened to me, I’d rather fall face first into three puddles,” I admitted with a laugh.
The man’s face softened when my laugh filled the car and after a moment, he pulled away from the curb once I told him what hotel I was staying at. During the entire car ride, neither of us said a word. I let my mind wander back to Fred, my phone buzzing non stop since I left that house. I knew that he was the one calling and texting but I couldn’t be bothered to check. He was the one that threw away two years, not me. I refused to falter back into Fred, let him sweet talk his way into my heart only for him to do the same thing.
I made a promise to myself at that moment to never let another man into my heart. The pain that ate away inside of me was debilitating. I was too independent of a woman to allow another man to use and lie to me. No man was worth this hurt.
Yet, as this man pulled up to my hotel and sat back in his seat with his body facing me, I could feel the sudden sexual tension. I’d never been one to think that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. There was no way that bullshit actually worked. If I actually believed that line of thinking, then why couldn’t I ignore the aura of this man as it radiated through the car. His presence alone was enough to make me hold my breath and clench my knees together when his gaze burned on the side of my face. I knew from the moment his hands wrapped around me that I’d be drawn to him and this quick car ride back would be anything but quick.
Which is where I currently found myself after we both whispered our agreement to each other.
Just one night.
“Fuck,” I breathed when teeth nipped at the sensitive flesh of my neck before lips attacked mine yet again.
The man underneath me moaned as I rolled my hips over his, the hardness of his cock pressing against the inside of my thigh. The windows of the car fogged up with the heat of our kiss, so intense, so sloppy, but neither of us cared. I pulled at his shirt, lifting him closer to me as he lounged in the back seat. His fingers dragged over the material of my jeans, guiding my clothed core over his cock.
“Fuck baby, I knew from the second you walked in the room tonight, I’d have you in this position,” he grunted while running his hand underneath my shirt to toss it up over me onto the front seat.
I shivered as the cool air of the car brushed against my bare chest, his eyes darkening at the sight of my peaked nipples. His tongue danced around my left one while his fingers played with my right, often switching between the two.
The rain fell against the car as a soft tune from the radio acted as background noise as we continued to make out in the back seat.
“I don’t-“, I panted when his free hand worked at the button on my jeans. “I don’t even know your name.”
“Matt,” he rasped while helping me shimmy out of my jeans which were quite difficult in our position in the back seat.
Matt had a simple Toyota Corolla making it nearly impossible to get comfortable.
I broke apart our kiss to help him out of his shirt, digging my nails into the soft flesh of his chest. “Y/N”.
A noise crawled from the back of his throat as he repeated my name and hooked a finger in my panties.
“Well, Y/N, are you going to be a good fucking girl for me and let me taste you? I can smell you staining my leather seats and I’m desperate.”
Holy hell.
An unknown feeling ignited in my lower gut when Matt laid me down on the seat and leisurely dragged the lacy material down my legs. I raised my hips up towards him, silently begging him.
“I never heard an answer, Y/N,” he let my panties hang loosely on my ankle.
My bottom lip caught between my teeth, unable to speak because I was afraid my admission would seize all actions. I felt Matt’s warm breath fan over my core after he positioned us so he was able to kneel on the back seat, one of my legs against the back windshield and the other resting on the floor.
“I-uh,” I covered my face with my hands, suddenly very embarrassed and exposed in front of him as I lay completely bare for him.
“Hey,” Matt’s voice was low as he reached for my hands to remove them from my face. “Don’t hide from me.”
His hair fell into his face while he loomed over me thanks to me knocking off his hat when I first jumped in his lap. I brushed away the golden locks so I could now see his face in his entirety.
He was gorgeous.
Letting out a breath, I finally let it slip why I was hiding from him.
“I’ve never had that before,” I motioned towards my pussy.
Matt gazed at me with furrowed brows but then the lines in his forehead cleared when he realized what I meant.
“Wait,” he sat back on his knees now while I sat up on my elbows. “You mean to tell me that fucking prick never ate you out before but you caught him down on another woman?”
I pursed my lips while shaking my head. “Kind of fucked up when you think about it.”
Matt let out a low growl before pulling my knees to my chest, my panties that were still hanging on my ankle flying off to somewhere in the car.
“Can I be the first one that gets to taste you, baby? Hm?” His voice was nearly gone, overtaken by whatever consumed him.
I reached for his head that was perched between my legs and urged him forward. “Please.”
Matt’s warm tongue flicked over my slick folds and I moaned out his name while running my hands through his hair, hips bucking up into his mouth when he pressed the tip of his tongue on my clit.
"Shit," I breathed, eyes fluttering shut.
This is what I'm missing? It only urged my anger tenfold for the scene I walked into back at the house.
"Fuck, baby. I'd get on my knees every day for you. You taste so fucking good," Matt murmured briefly pulling away from my clit.
I hissed in pleasure when his teeth grazed over it before wrapping his lips over my sensitive bud and began sucking. A long finger slid between my folds as he hooked that finger inside of me. With his mouth biting and sucking on my clit and his finger pumping in and out of me, I felt the coil in my lower belly pull tight. I peered down and moaned at the sight of Matt’s eyes closed shut as he devoured all of me. His nails dug into the skin of my thighs as he pushed my legs closer to my chest. I grasped at the roots of his hair as I rode his face closer to my release; it was so close.
"I can feel you clench around my fingers, Y/N. You’re so close,” Matt pulled away from my pussy to glance up at me, the sight of his mouth covered in my arousal unholy.
“Matt, I just want to cum,” I begged, breathless when his mouth tongue flicked over my clit again.
Two more pumps of his fingers were my undoing as the coil finally snapped, my release shaking my entire body.
Matt hummed in delight before pressing a tender kiss to my thigh and then worked himself out of his pants.
“God, I need more of you, baby. Can I fuck that pretty pussy?” He asked with his hand wrapped around his cock.
My eyes nearly widened when I noticed the size of him and I let out a nervous breath, something Matt noticed as he maneuvered us so I was straddling him in the middle seat, the head of his cock brushing along my folds before slipping in slowly.
I hissed, digging my nails into his broad shoulders. “Matt.”
His nose skimmed along my neck. “It’s alright, baby. I’ll go slow. We can’t rush perfect things.
But that wasn’t why I was stopping him.
“Do you have a condom?” I asked, pulling away so I could gaze down at him.
My heart was pounding so loud in my chest I could hear each beat in my ears, the sight of Matt looking so blissed out even before reaching his own release. But then his face faltered at my words.
“Fuck,” he cursed while running a hand down his face. “I didn’t expect to have sex tonight, if I’m being honest. You’re not on anything?”
I merely shook my head before letting my shoulders fall, along with my forehead against his shoulder. I’d been so wound up from our make out session earlier and with his mouth devouring me, to have everything ripped from me because neither of us were prepared made me groan.
“Just the head then, yea? How does that sound, baby?” Matt dug his fingers into my hips as he slowly sank the tip of his cock inside of me again.
“Fuck,” the word dragged out of my mouth, muffled by his shoulder. “O-oh-okay.”
His chest rumbled beneath me as he laguidly fucked me with just the head of his cock. It felt so good, dragging in and out of me as my walls clenched desperately for more.
I needed more.
Arching myself back from him, I eased farther down on his cock at my own pace, slowly taking every inch of him. Matt choked on a breath once I was fully seated on him and wrapped an arm around me to pull me flush against his chest, our lips meeting in a tangled mess of tongues and saliva. His thrusts were unrelenting, the sound of skin slapping against skin overpowering the noise of the raging thunderstorm outside.
Matt felt nothing like Fred; he felt more full, more fulfilling. The thought lingered in the back of my mind that this one night would be a hard one to forget.
“Such a slut for my cock, yeah? Look at you, taking all of me,” Matt praised with a hard snap of his hips, causing me to cry out before his mouth covered mine in a kiss so fierce it made my head spin.
We were both lost in the haze we immersed ourselves in, souls and body intertwined with each other, that neither of us stopped it when my second orgasm washed over me seconds before Matt’s cock twitched, him spilling himself deep inside of me.
I collapsed against his chest as his arms encircled around me, both of us coming down from the high we shared. I let the even beats of his heart bring me back to the present, suddenly realizing what exactly just happened. Slowly rising off of his softer dick, I began searching for my clothes to slip them on.
Matt ran a hand through his hair before following me in getting dressed. With his hat perched back on his head, he rubbed the back of his neck.
“Um, I’m not sure what to say.”
I couldn’t help but giggle at how vast his demeanor changed from a man spewing filthy things to someone who messed with the ends of his shirt nervously.
“Thank you,” I spoke. “For taking me away from Fred, driving me to my hotel, and making me forget everything for the time being.”
Matt nodded with a smile. “Promise you won’t go crawling back to him?”
Snorting, I buried myself in my oversized cardigan and shook my head. “Hell no. He can fucking rot. I’m going to focus on myself for a little while.”
Calloused fingers brushed away the strands of hair from my face before trailing down the side of my neck. “Take care of yourself, Y/N. You deserve nothing but happiness.”
I pressed a gentle kiss into his palm, my words lingering in the air after I slipped out from the car.
“Be good, Matt.”
MATT
I sat in the backseat of the car for a few beats, long after Y/N ran through the rain towards the hotel, and tried to understand what exactly happened. When we first began the album release party for Bad Omens, I had every intention of remaining professional as their manager, making sure everything ran smoothly. Yet, the moment Y/N stumbled into my arms and I drank in those doe eyes when she stared up at me, I knew I was done for.
That simple action was enough to drag me down to the depths of her. Every fiber of my being craved her, physically and spiritually. Now that I had a taste of her, I knew it would be difficult to forget the way she felt coming undone on my cock.
Groaning, I dragged a hand down my face before clambering back into the driver's seat, finally heading back to Davis’ house where the party was being held. I knew Noah was waiting for me so we could ride back home together. I could only hope that he didn’t notice I slipped away from the party for an hour.
Pulling the car up to the curb at his tall figure shielding himself from the rain with his jacket, Noah slipped into the front seat and shook out the water all over me and the leather.
“Watch it!” I chastised him, almost forgetting the mess that was left in the back seat.
Noah’s nostrils flared for a moment. “Why does it smell like sex in here?”
“Wh-what?” I stammered with crimson cheeks.
“It smells like sex in here,” he chuckled while looking over his shoulder to the back seat. “Where the hell did you run off to anyway?”
I shrugged, finally driving back towards our house, the opposite way of where I dropped Y/N off.
“I took someone home,” I answered with a nonchalant shrug.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I watched in horror as Noah reached for the gear shift to unhook a pair of yellow lace panties.
“Hm,” he hummed low, twirling them between his fingers. “Someone left something important behind.”
Cursing, I snatched the panties from Noah and pocketed them into my joggers.
“Fuck you, asshole.”
He let out a belt of laughter before easing himself into the seat, long limbs stretched out. “Was it the girl I saw you with your arms around earlier? At the bottom of the stairs?”
My silence was my answer as I gripped the steering wheel, trying so hard to forget the way Y/N tasted, her arousal still lingering on my lips.
“Did you get her number?”
I shook my head with a sigh. “We both agreed it would be a one night thing. She’s from Vermont and is leaving in the morning. I won’t see her again.”
I couldn’t ignore the way my heart sank to my stomach.
“At least tell me you were safe,” Noah questioned, which caused me to shift in the driver's seat.
“Dude!” He groaned, leaning over towards the glove compartment to pull out a brand new box of condoms.
My eyes darted from the road to it. “Where the fuck did those come from?”
He shrugged, tossing it back into the compartment. “I stocked them up after I used the last one.”
I slammed on the breaks as I came to a stop at a red light, narrowed eyes pinning him in his place. “Are you telling me you fucked someone in my car?”
“Shit,” Noah grimaced. “I didn't mean to blurt that out. It was the time my car was in the shop and Adreanna couldn’t wait until we got home.”
His girlfriend.
“You’re a fucking dick,” I spat as the light turned green, inching closer and closer to our shared home. “I can’t believe there were condoms right there the entire time.”
He raised a teasing brow. “Too busy to check, huh?”
I punched his shoulder before pulling into the driveway and he rubbed at the growing red mark, still laughing his ass off.
“Let’s hope she doesn't show up in a year with a baby claiming it's yours,” he said and then clambered out of the car.
I sat there for a moment, letting his words sink deep within my bones, only one thought running through my mind.
Wouldn’t that be nice.
READER
No.
No.
No. No. No.
This is all a dream, a nightmare. One that I’m bound to wake up from any moment with a breath of relief.
Right, if it's a dream then why are you holding two positive tests and an ultrasound?
The thought made my stomach and shoulders fall in succession, knowing that there was no way I could deny it any longer. The last couple of months of constant morning sickness and sensitivity to certain smells were easy to ignore but the third month of no period was not. I knew my body was changing, my breast becoming sensitive to the touch and the sudden yet noticeable weight gain. It was evident that I was pregnant, something I told myself weeks ago, but I still tried to ignore because it couldn’t possibly be true.
So now, here I was standing in the middle of my bathroom glaring down at the two positive pregnancy tests and the three ultrasound pictures. The doctor estimated I was roughly 12 weeks along and almost quickly, I knew who the father was.
I’d only slept with one man the last three months and he was currently living his life in sunny Los Angeles. Yes, we had sex unprotected but I took the morning after pill as soon as I stepped foot back in Vermont, not having the time before my flight to stop and pick one up; something I made known to the doctor earlier today.
“Those don’t work all the time. It could be that you waited too long after intercourse to take it.”
With shaking hands, I set them down on the bathroom counter and dragged my feet over to my bedroom across the hall where my laptop sat on my desk. I knew what I had to do, me making the decision on the car ride back home from my appointment that I would keep this baby and raise it by myself if need be. I made decent money at my job so I could live somewhat comfortably. I didn’t need Matt’s help, I wouldn’t force him into something he didn’t want only for him to leave years later when it got too hard for him.
He still deserved to know, though. So now came the hard part of finding out exactly who this Matt was. Neither of us divulged more of our lives besides our names that night so it took me some time scouring my brain to remember the name of the band the party was for.
Good Almonds?
Secret Omens?
“Fuck, this pregnancy brain is no joke,” I groaned while resting my forehead on the cool wood of my desk.
I’d also picked up one of those pregnancy books earlier and spent a few hours reading everything regarding the first trimester, which I had just surpassed. Rubbing my small bump, I sat up straighter in my chair and let my eyes flutter shut.
“Alright baby, help me out here. Help me find your dad,” I muttered.
Bad Omens.
Snapping my eyes open, I hastily typed ‘Bad Omens Matt’ into google's search bar and watched as lists of websites appeared on screen, clicking on the first one.
Matt Dierkes (mattxdierkes) • Instagram photos and videos.
I let out a breath I had no idea I’d been holding and clicked through his instagram profile, not being able to hide the smile when I saw a picture of him holding a small dog against his chest. I tried to think of the best way to go about this. It would be wrong of me to send him a direct message to tell him the news, something he could easily ignore or claim was false.
He needed to see it for himself.
After spending a few more minutes researching, I found out that Matt was not only Bad Omens tour manager but he worked in their front of house as well and they were gearing up to head out on the road for a three week long tour across the U.S which started in two weeks.
Gnawing on my lip, I had to make a decision. Wait until he is back home to tell him or fly out to Los Angeles before he leaves to tell him.
Clicking open a new tab, I searched up flights to California and once those were booked and paid for, I sat back in my chair and rubbed at my bump. I’d fly out next Friday evening and return Sunday morning. I couldn’t stay longer because I had work that Monday morning and I wanted to try and save up as much PTO as I could for maternity leave, my job offering a crappy version of it.
Stretching out my limbs, I rose from the chair only to make it a few steps to my bed, falling onto it with a puff of air. Along with pregnancy brain being something I’d been suffering from, so was the exhaustion. It felt like no matter how many hours I slept at night, by 2 in the afternoon, I was ready for bed.
Of course you’re tired, your body is growing a human.
I let the idea of me growing a tiny human made up of equal parts me and Matt lull me to sleep, those dark eyes plaguing my existence. I also couldn’t ignore the excitement that filled me knowing I’d be seeing him again.
MATT
Music blasted through the vast opening of the warehouse as we all tirelessly worked from sunrise to sunset packing up the trucks with all of our equipment. Bad Omens were about to head out on the road next week for their first tour with the new era and we all were buzzing with excitement. The set list was stacked, the visual and mixes were some of the best I’ve created so far. I spent the entire day with a smile on my face, ready for the future of not only mine but my best friends.
Although, it did feel like there was something missing in my life, something meaningful, but I couldn’t pinpoint on what it was exactly.
With a stack of metal rods in my arms, the ones we use to hang up the merch tent, I stepped out of the warehouse over towards the trucks where I met Nicholas, who suddenly stood frozen while looking past me.
“Oh please don’t tell me this is the situation I’m thinking it is and she’s here to claim it’s Noah’s.”
With a raised brow, I slowly turned to face his gaze and sucked in a breath at the sight. Y/N stood a few feet away from the truck, wringing her hands together with nerves as her eyes darted around the bodies, trying to find a certain one. Her soft strands of hair blue over her shoulder with the unusually cool summer breeze as the bright rays from the sun casted her bare shoulders in a golden hue, yet it paled in comparison to the yellow color of her sundress that rested just above her knees.
As my eyes traveled past the swell of her breast down to her lower half it was then that I realized exactly what Nicholas meant and I dropped all three metal rods I’d been carrying clattered to the concrete with a noise loud enough to echo blocks away.
Everyone froze to look over at me, who had yet to remove my gaze from Y/N’s stomach as she ran a hand over it, a silent indication of what I’d been wondering to myself. Noah, who was in the truck behind me packing it, surveyed the scene in front of him, darting back and forth between me and Y/N. He muttered something under his breath before giving me a push towards her, my body still in a state of shock and I nearly stumbled over my feet.
“Hi,” her voice shook with nerves when I stopped in front of her.
Now with the setting sun, I could see a patch of freckles covering her nose and cheeks. I noticed she had only one dimple on her left cheek when she gave me a small smile.
But her eyes? Fuck, they still managed to pull me in nearly four months later. All I could think about was one simple thing: I hope she’s here to tell me that it’s mine.
READER
“H-hi,” Matt cleared his throat while stuffing his hands deep into the pockets of his shorts and it was then I finally noticed the colorful tattoo on his right leg. “What are you doing here?”
Blinking away from his thighs, I rubbed a hand over my small bump. “I’m pretty sure you can guess.”
His eyes flicked down so fast I nearly missed it. “It’s mine?”
I already told myself not to get upset when he questioned it because I knew he would. I would have been more shocked if he didn’t.
“It’s yours, Matt. You’re the only guy I had sex with in the last four months and unprotected,” I replied.
Matt glanced over his shoulder to one of the guys hanging out in the large truck and I recognized him from the party that December night; the one covered in tattoos.
“I only found out last week. I guess I tried to ignore it in hopes that it was all a dream because the last thing I needed was a baby,” I admitted while shifting on my feet.
He turned his attention back towards me. “Are you going to keep it? It’s obviously your choice. I’ll support you with whatever you decide so please don’t think I’m pressuring you into something because that’s not what I’m trying to do.”
As he rambled on, I gave a curt nod. “I do plan on keeping it. I didn’t expect to get pregnant before falling in love and getting married but when has anything in my life been traditional? I’m used to doing things on my own so this won’t be any different.”
Matt’s muscles constricted underneath his Cannibal Corpse shirt as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Who said you were doing this alone?”
“Uh. I just figured that with how busy you are that you wouldn’t want to be bothered with a kid. I only came out here to tell you in person because it felt wrong to tell you in an Instagram message.”
He snorted, nostrils flaring, and took a tentative step towards me. “You don’t think it’s wrong to make assumptions about me?”
I chewed on the inside of my cheek and forced myself to break the intense stare down between us. Suddenly being underneath his hot gaze, I felt the pep talk I spent all afternoon telling myself slipping through my grasp. Bile rose in my throat, part because of the pregnancy and part because of the nerves I felt flowing through me.
“You’re coming on the road with me.”
His stern voice caused me to whirl my head back towards him, my hair flowing over my shoulders. “Excuse me? I didn’t expect you to drop everything in your life for this baby so you can’t expect me to just uproot my life to please you!”
"I've never been one to half-ass anything, Y/N!" Matt bit out with a clenched jaw. His hands were perched low on his hip as my sudden news turned his world upside down.
My hands rested on my stomach as I took a deep breath, to calm myself. My blood pressure at my appointment last week was a little concerning so my doctor made sure to tell me to take it easy, especially in these early months. The large group of people a few feet behind him pretended to keep themselves busy with work but I knew they'd been eavesdropping since I showed up a few minutes ago.
Matt also let out a deep breath to calm himself. "If we're going to do this then we're doing it together. But we can't do it together if you're halfway across the world from me."
I scoffed, still not quite ready to jump into the idea of packing up my life for the next month to live on the road with a man I had only met one night back in December.
Just over three months ago.
"And if I say no?" I scoffed, my own hands perched on my hips.
Those dark eyes sliced into me from underneath his hat and he took a step closer towards me. I could feel his warm breath across my lips and the sudden hunger to taste him again was overtaking me.
"You're carrying my child, Y/N. There's no way I'm letting you leave now. Not again. Not like I did that night."
I wasn’t sure if it was because of the blazing sun, the nearly 90 degree heat, or the way Matt’s words cut deep that made my surroundings suddenly spin causing my body to go limp into his embrace.
“Shit,” he cursed as he reached out to catch me from hitting the ground below and lifted my limp body into his arms.
“I don’t feel so good,” I murmured into his neck, my body suddenly feeling clammy and drained of energy.
“Hang on baby,” Matt cooed while carrying me into the warehouse where the cool air fell away against my still heated skin.
Gently, he sat me down in a metal chair and cupped my cheeks so I could look at him with heavy eyes.
“When was the last time you ate something?” He wondered.
I blinked slowly, trying my best to keep the bile that raised in my throat down, and let out a weak response.
“Not since this morning.”
The words tangled together as I felt a wave of nausea wash over me and Matt cursed again while yelling something to someone, it being white noise as I felt my body growing heavier.
“Drink some water,” Matt urged me with a hushed voice, bringing a bottle to my lips and helping me take in some, the cool liquid easing down the urge to throw up everywhere.
Next he took a granola bar from a heavily tattooed hand and waved it in front of my nose, causing me to wretch back away from it.
Peanut butter.
I fucking hated the smell of peanut butter.
“Y/N, you need to eat something,” Matt’s voice was sharp, along with his gaze on me.
I cringed. “The baby hates peanut butter.”
He let out a low rumble of laughter before looking up at the man behind him. “Noah, can you go look in Jolly’s stash? I think I saw fruit or something in there.”
“Oh, the baby loves bananas,” I perked up, the little bit of water intake bringing life back into me slowly.
The man, Noah, smiled brightly before running a hand through his curtain styled hair. “One banana coming right up.”
After he dashed to the other side of the warehouse, Matt’s hands rested on my knee.
“You can’t forget to eat, Y/N,” he sighed.
“I’ve been feeling sick all morning and spent most of the afternoon before coming here asleep. The plane ride took a lot out of me. I guess I forgot,” I gave a limp shrug.
Worry etched on Matt’s face as he continued to kneel in front of me. “Can you even be flying?”
Noah returned with two bananas and I took them with a grateful smile when I noticed he even peeled them for me.
“I can fly until I’m thirty six weeks,” I answered after swallowing two mouthfuls of banana.
Noah stared down at me with his hands in his pockets. “How far along are you?”
“13 weeks.”
I could see Matt figure out the dates in his head, confirming what I had already told him.
“Due in September?” He asked, running his fingers over my knee, leaving goosebumps in his wake.
Even in my weak state, I couldn’t deny how much I missed his touch as I nodded.
“September 4.”
The three of us sat in silence for a moment as I finished the bananas and drank a little bit more water.
“Feeling better?” Matt questioned.
I patted his hand reassuringly. “Very much, thank you.”
Noah squeezed my shoulder with a comforting touch. “I’d never seen Matt so freaked out before.”
Leaving us to ourselves, I met with worry behind those dark eyes of Matt’s and frowned.
“I didn’t mean to scare you,” I breathed.
He huffed before taking off his hat, letting it rest on my lap while he ran a hand through his hair.
“Can you understand why I want you with me, Y/N? Imagine if this happened and no one was there to help you.”
This was the very first time one of these episodes happened and I had to admit, it scared the hell out of me so I couldn’t imagine the fear coursing through Matt when I collapsed into him.
Playing with the rim of his hat still on my lap, I eventually nodded. “Okay. But I have to settle things back at home and my job before leaving.
Matt did his best to hide his grin behind his hand as he scratched at his jaw, ultimately failing.
“We don’t leave until Thursday evening next week. Will that be enough time?”
My shoulders rose and fell. “It’ll have to be, I guess. I have some PTO from work that I can use. Do you want me to fly out back here or meet you at the first city?”
Matt placed his hat back on his head. “I’m going to fly out to Vermont on Wednesday so we can fly out to the first city together. I don’t like the idea of you on a plane by yourself.”
I raised a brow. “I’m literally getting on a plane tomorrow morning to fly back home. What’s the difference?”
“The difference is,” he adjusted his weight from one foot to the other, still kneeling in front of me. “It’s too late for me to buy a ticket to come with you. Plus, I still have a lot left to do here to make sure everything is packed and loaded properly.”
I hummed in response, eyes taking in the sight of everyone now moving about the warehouse again after realizing I was fine. They all conversed with each other, bright smiles on their faces as they understood every inside joke they shot back and forth.
“You guys seem like a big family,” I noted.
Matt agreed with a nod. “We are. We take care of each other.”
As the noise of everyone chatting fell around us, I fiddled with the ends of my dress, trying to gather the courage to say my next words, unsure if Matt would agree or even feel the same.
“I want to make sure you understand that just because we’re doing this parenting thing together does not mean we're together. We can co-parent but I’m not looking for a relationship. I’m still in the same spot when you first met me, Matt. I swore off relationships, it doesn't matter that we’re having a baby together.”
My gaze was trained hard on my chipped nail polish that I hadn’t seen the look of pure heartbreak flash over Matt’s face but he was quick to put that mask back up.
“Whatever you’re comfortable with, Y/N. I’m not going to force anything on you. I’ll be here for you; as a friend.”
That, however, I did not miss; the way the word friend sounded bitter on his tongue.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” I said suddenly remembering something I had hidden in my purse.
With curious eyes, Matt took the ultrasound picture I retrieved from my purse and grazed his thumb over the black and white picture, over the small fetus. His eyes now glossy as he blew out a shaky breath.
“That’s-?” He coughed, trying to figure out his words.
I nodded while resting my hands over my small bump. “That’s our baby.”
Matt cast his gaze from the ultrasound to my bump, back and forth a few times almost as if he was trying to understand how the little baby in the picture was the one I was carrying. The lines next to his eyes crinkled and his bottom lip caught between his teeth.
“If we're going to do this together, Matt, you can touch it whenever you want. You don’t need to ask. This baby is half yours,” I assured him while reaching for his hand, placing it over my bump.
He let out a breath, finally being able to feel where his baby was, and it was as if everything was clicking into place for him. Our fingers linked together, both resting over the bundle of what we created that night together. While I hadn’t expected this outcome from me telling him, I was extremely grateful that he decided to stay with me. The fear of raising a baby on my own kept me up the last few nights.
I had meant what I told him, though. The last thing I was looking for was a relationship to make this between us even more messier than it already was. But when Matt leaned towards my bump to whisper something, I knew those words I had just spoken to myself in my brain were only that; words.
“Hi baby, I’m your dad.”

✷˖⑅How to Cheer Up an Eddie⑅˖✷
~Soooooo yeah: I’m back to fandom bouncing. Today’s obsession is Venom, and Eddie DEFINITELY needs a good wrecking. I might possibly go back to being consistent, but who knows? This is a lot longer than I meant it to be, but womp. If these goobers interest you, I hope you Enjoy!~
Lee: Eddie Brock
Ler: Venom
Summary: Venom’s eating habits are hard to curve. When a particularly gruesome snack gets under Eddie’s skin, Venom decides to cheer up his favorite host. Thanks to a cheesy rom-com, he knows exactly how to do it.
Warnings: mentions of Venom chomping somebody, brief descriptions of blood, pretty much just movie-typical stuff. This is a tickle fic, so if you don’t like that, scroll away!!
Venom’s appetite was insatiable: it was the one thing Eddie knew for certain. Even after a full “meal,” the symbiote would whine for tater tots and heads not even ten minutes later. He didn’t need that much food to survive, but it felt good when he ate.
Unfortunately for Venom, Eddie was rather strict about his diet.
There was to be no eating Eddie’s leftovers, people’s pets, random chickens, and NO eating people. That last one pissed Venom off to no end. So, like any reasonable toddler, Venom whined about it whenever possible.
“BUT EDDIEEEE! I’M SO HUNGRY! JUST A QUICK BITE?” Slinking out from Eddie’s shoulder, Venom nudged his host’s hand with his physical form. Of course, he wasn’t talking about chocolates or chicken.
“No, V. Cletus was an exception; the rule still stands.” Eddie didn’t even look away from his laptop screen, tapping away at the keys as he worked on his latest article. It was a pain in the ass to scrounge up the details, but he’d finally managed to get enough info for a story.
“BULLSHIT! HOW IS IT FAIR THAT ONE ASSHOLE IS OKAY, BUT NONE OF THE OTHERS COUNT?!” Venom bit Eddie’s wrist, making the man cuss and shake him off. How could a thousands-of-years-old symbiote act like such a child?
“I- you know that was different! Also, ow!” Pointing to his latest bite mark, Eddie scowled at the symbiote. As soon as he pointed it out, however, Venom healed it; it was like it never happened.
“I DON’T SEE ANYTHING.” Eddie flipped him off before going back to his laptop, hoping to ignore the whining. Venom wasn’t having it. “OH, I SEE. CLETUS WAS OKAY BECAUSE HE MESSED WITH ANNE. ONLY BAD GUYS WHO MAKE YOU PISSY ARE FOOD.”
Eddie slammed his laptop shut, glaring daggers at the symbiote. Venom took that as a positive sign, resting his head on his host’s wrist. It was a terrifying attempt at puppy-dog eyes, but it told Eddie the one thing he didn’t wanna hear: he wasn't gonna get anything done until V had some food.
“Fine, you shithead! We’ll go on patrol for ten minutes, grab some chicken and chocolate, and come back. No longer.”
-
About half an hour later, Eddie was wondering why he even tried. They’d grabbed some chocolate from Mrs. Chen, but Venom swore he’d heard something on the way back. So, there they were, perched on a rooftop as they waited for some sign of what the symbiote had picked up.
After a few minutes of silence, the back door to one of the sketchy-looking shops opened. A young boy, maybe eight or nine, was roughly pushed forward towards a black SUV. He looked scared, dirty, and alone.
A burning anger rose in Eddie’s chest when he realized what was happening.
Those evil bastards… He bonded even farther into Venom’s mindset, letting the feeling overtake him. V noticed immediately.
“THEM?”
“Them.”
-
After they’d dropped the boy off at the police station, Eddie made sure they went straight home. After a very long shower, he’d managed to convince Venom to quiet down long enough for him to work on the article.
Staring at the near-blank document, Eddie’s fingers tapped idly on the space bar. The case, the case, the case. A tech giant had been covering up some shady dealings in Vermont. Shady dealings…
Eddie’s mind wandered back to their patrol, specifically to the part where Venom had his meal. The fuckheads deserved it, no doubt, but…god, had it been bloody. Smashing, ripping, tearing, screaming, head-chomping…
Groaning, Eddie rubbed his temples and shut his laptop; he needed a break.
Trudging over to the fridge, Eddie grabbed out some whipped cream - that shit made everything better.
After squirting a decent helping into his mouth, he leaned against the cool metal of his fridge. Who needs to process their emotions when you’ve got Ready Whip and self-doubt?
While he usually enjoyed mocking Eddie’s little moods, Venom knew this one was decently serious. More importantly, his actions had upset Eddie. That needed to be fixed, whether they liked it or not.
Coming back out in his physical form, Venom nuzzled his head against Eddie’s shoulder. It wasn’t much, but he was trying. “EDDIE?”
“Hmm?” The man huffed, opening his eyes to stare down at his partner in sorta-crime. There was still a small bit of whipped cream in his stubble; Venom had to resist the strong urge to tease him about it.
“YOU LOOK…DEPRESSED.” That got a chuckle out of the man, but not much else. He was just overwhelmed, and he knew Venom could sense it.
“...WANNA WATCH SHITTY ROM-COMS?”
“...yeah.”
-
Eddie sighed as the rom-com played, barely paying attention to it. He’d never seen that one before, but he couldn’t get his mind off the violence from earlier; if it wasn’t the goons’ deaths, it was the treatment of the little boy. There was no guarantee the police would do their jobs correctly…
Venom, on the other hand, was totally into it. There was just something about seeing two humans stumble around and act like lovey-dovey fools for an hour that put him in a good mood.
When he looked over at Eddie, however, his joy lessened. The movie was supposed to be making Eddie happy, not just him.
“EDDIE, WHY ARE YOU IGNORING THESE JOKES? YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE LAUGHING.” Coming out as a floating head once again, Venom nuzzled Eddie’s shoulder. He shrugged, brushing off his own emotions.
“I-I dunno, V. Don’t worry about it.” Yeah, right - like Venom was gonna listen to that. Taking advantage of their bond, Venom peeked at what Eddie was feeling. It sent a rare feeling coursing through the symbiote’s system: guilt.
“I…APOLOGIZE FOR UNSETTLING YOU. I GOT MESSY.” Eddie whipped his head down to look at Venom, his eyes going wide. Did he just…apologize for something? Without prompting? Holy shit…
“Uh…thanks, Venom. I appreciate it.” Knowing it would make the little menace feel better, Eddie scratched Venom’s head.
A low, pleased grumble left the creature as he enjoyed the touch. While he did appreciate the affection, he was supposed to be making Eddie feel better.
Suddenly, Eddie tensed, freezing his fingers in place. Venom looked up to see what was wrong, but his host’s eyes were trained on the screen.
The woman on screen had grabbed the man’s phone and was holding it above her head; she was taller than him, so he couldn’t reach it. So, the man reached out and…started touching her sides? The motions made no sense to Venom, but as the woman started to laugh, he felt Eddie heat up.
Venom immediately assumed it was arousal, but Eddie didn’t seem to be desiring anything. He seemed more…giddy. Maybe longing for something? The symbiote was thoroughly confused.
“EDDIE? WHY IS THAT WOMAN LAUGHING? DO YOU LIKE IT?” Eddie’s cheeks burned, his eyes darting away from both the screen and Venom. His answer was muffled and flustered.
“She’s getting…it’s a human response to touch. Involuntary shit, and…” His voice trailed off, almost as if he was unable to finish his sentence.
Venom’s grin, if possible, widened. That was the same thing Eddie had done when Venom asked about why humans kissed; he was eager, embarrassed, and wanting something he couldn't ask for.
“SO IT’S A GOOD THING.” The fact that it was worded as a statement, not a question, kind of scared Eddie. Venom had that tone he used whenever he was about to be a shit; based on their conversation, it wasn’t hard to guess how.
“Venom, wait-” Before Eddie could think to push the symbiote away, he felt the familiar sensation of Venom spreading across his arms. But…only his arms. What was he doing?
“THE MAN DID IT LIKE THIS.” Suddenly, Eddie felt wiggling fingers on his sides; it took everything he had to suppress his giggles. When he looked down, he saw…his own hands tickling him. Venom was seriously making him tickle himself. Worst of all, it was working.
“V-Vehee! Get offa me!” Eddie twisted his torso around, trying to shake the feelings off. Venom was persistent, keeping at least five wiggling claws on him at all times.
“I CAN’T GET OFF OF YOU, EDDIE. I’D DIE, AND YOU’D BE A LOSER,” Venom teased, raking Eddie’s own fingers down his sides. Using his fluid, he added just a bit of a point to each fingertip, making it tickle even more.
“Thahat- that’s not whahat I meant!” A few little titters slipped out as the tickling increased. How the fuck was it working?! Gargalesis on yourself wasn’t supposed to be possible! Though, Venom technically was another being with his own consciousness…fuck.
Deciding to be an asshole, Venom tapped into Eddie’s thoughts. The man typically didn't enjoy it, but he figured it would be a special exception.
The very first thing Venom felt was extreme giddiness. It made the symbiote chuckle; Eddie really did love the touch.
Digging deeper, Venom go past the “oh shit oh fuck oh that tickles” and “I’m gonna fucking kill him” to find the more sensitive thoughts. “Please don’t go for my ribs, please don’t go for my ribs, PLEASE don’t go for my ribs!”
So, naturally, Venom went for his ribs.
“OhohOHOHO SHIIIIIIIHIHIT! SHIHIT!” Eddie squealed, arching his back and kicking his feet out. It wasn’t fair: being forced to tickle himself, and not being able to do a single thing to stop it. It was…well, it wasn’t awful.
Oh shit. Eddie knew he fucked up the second those words crossed his mind.
“WHAT’S THAT, EDDIE? IT ISN’T AWFUL?” Venom chuckled, leaning his floating head to whisper in Eddie’s ear. That was just adding insult to injury. “DOES THAT MEAN YOU DO LIKE THIS?”
Eddie scrunched his shoulders, trying desperately to evade the tickles. He knew it was pointless, but he couldn’t just sit there. Well, he could’ve, but he’d never have heard the end of it from Venom.
“N-NOHOHOHO! IHI DOHOHOHON’T!” Eddie lied through his teeth, or more accurately, his giant smile. It was so horribly unfair; then again, so was his life.
“HMM. LIAR.” Getting an idea, Venom shifted his pointy mouth to Eddie’s neck, nibbling ever-so-gently on the sensitive skin. If he couldn’t get Eddie to say it himself, maybe he could provide some gentle, torturous motivation.
“Wha- KYAAAH! FUHUHUHUCK! V-VEHEHENOM!” He squealed, tossing his head back and just laughing his heart out. Eddie knew there was no point in resisting; Venom would just come up with another way to kill him, and he wasn’t keen on figuring out how creative the symbiote could get.
“WHAT’S WRONG, EDDIE? DOES IT TICKLE? ” Venom cooed, continuing to nibble up and down his sensitive neck. At the same time, he forced Eddie’s hands to dig into his ribs, clawing and pinching at the bones. “YOU HUMANS ARE SO FRAGILE, SO SENSITIVE. I’D NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM.”
While the symbiote was lying, he knew Eddie was too lost in laughter to notice. It was nice to see his human laughing so freely, even if he did have to force it out of the moody fucker.
“VEHEHEE! IHIHI’M GOHOHONNA DIHIHIHIE!” Putting his whole self into it, Eddie thrashed and fought against Venom’s control. It didn’t work, of course, but he still tried.
“NO, YOU’RE NOT. EVEN IF YOU WERE, I’D HEAL YOU.” Venom was just playing dirty now. I mean, he was playing dirty the entire time, but that much teasing was just uncalled for. At least, that’s what Eddie thought.
Wanting to push his host’s limits, Venom sent a tendril out from Eddie’s shoulder and ran it down his back. Once it reached the bottom, he wiggled it against Eddie’s hip bones.
That officially did the man in.
“OHOHOHO MYHY- HAHAHAHAHA!” Eddie cut himself off with a fit of hysterical laughter, the sound dipping out for a moment. When he managed to breathe again, his laugh was loud, raw, and unrestrained. Venom could listen to it for ages.
“NOHOHO MOHAHAHAHAHORE! MEHEHERCY! MEHERCYHYHYHY!” Slamming one of his feet on the ground, Eddie tapped out in the only way he could.
Venom reluctantly stopped, pulling himself off of his host’s arms; he instead nuzzled his head into Eddie’s neck.
Panting and giggling, Eddie tried to regain his composure. His whole torso was buzzing from the touch, phantom tickles still keeping his nerves alight.
“J-Jehehesus fuhuhucking Chrihist, V…” The man ran a hand through his hair, thoroughly wiped from all the laughing and thrashing. While that had been incredibly intense, it helped ease his mind. He actually felt a lot better than he had before the silliness.
They sat in semi-silence for a minute, the only sound being Eddie’s slightly labored breathing as he pulled himself together. It was nice, almost lulling the exhausted man to sleep. That was until Venom decided to break the silence.
“EDDIE?”
“Whahat?”
“YOU’RE HAPPY NOW, YES?” Venom grunted, nudging Eddie’s chin; he wanted to make sure he didn’t hurt his human. He loved hearing the man’s crazy laughter, but he knew he could go a bit too far sometimes.
Eddie thought about that. He was in their home, smiling and dazed, with a symbiote who cared for him had just finished tickling him to death just to cheer him up.
He was warm, safe, and finally not alone. He was part of something that, while flawed, was still the best thing that had ever happened to him; his answer was clear.
Eddie reached an arm up to scratch beneath Venom’s chin, sighing softly.
“...yeah, V. I’m happy.”

regrets- s.reid
--------------------------
--------------------------
summary: spencer comes back from prison and your grief and his cause the collapse of your world.
pairing: spencer reid x fem reader
warnings: suicide mentions, death, fighting, break-up, breif spencer in prison mentions (nothing about the storyline though dw)
--------------------------
Spencer had always been skinny. He’d always been last picked for sports, and at the beginning of your relationship, he was nervous to be naked in front of you.
Were you two still even in a relationship?
He’d been in prison, then he was out and saving his mom. Now he’s home.
And you’re not.
The first thing to do in his mind is to shower. He wanted to wash the last few days off of him. He hadn’t been in a comfortable place in a long time, so the shower seemed different, the products you used to use were gone, replaced by others. Did you even live here anymore?
Getting naked was too difficult, every time he saw what he’d become, he felt the uncontrollable urge to vomit and not stop until he passed out. He sat in the bathroom for a long time, he wasn’t even sure how long.
The front door opened. Your voice to someone over the phone, a rustling of bags and a sigh once the call was over.
He had so many questions. Why hadn’t you been there? Where were you? You sent him letter after letter (ones he couldn’t bring himself to respond to) about not being able to wait to see him, about missing him, chewing him out for not letting you come see him.
So where had you been?
“Fuck this fucking funeral,” you mumbled to yourself as you walked through your kitchen. “Fuck my life.”
You grabbed a cup of water as you felt the familiar sting of tears in the back of your throat. Spencer listened close to the bathroom door as you slowly broke down. It started as just a single sob. Then it progressed until you were fully crying on your kitchen floor and dialling someone’s number.
“Y/n?” Penelope’s voice said from the other side of the line.
“Hey,” you sighed. “I’m so sorry that you couldn’t reach me for the past few days, I was back in Vermont and I had no cell service. Anyways, any news on Spencer? I know that Diana got moved to a facility, any news from him? Did Luke or Jj visit?”
Spencer’s heart broke as he listened to you put everything aside just to ask about him.
“Babe… Spencer got out three days ago,” she admitted.
Another stab to your already bleeding heart. Spencer watched as your face broke from the crack in the bathroom door.
“Oh,” your voice broke. “Good.”
There was a long silence.
“Do you know where he is?” You asked, ashamed that you had to ask someone else for the whereabouts of your fiancé.
“I’m not sure, I’m so sorry girl-” Penelope’s comforting voice was cut off by you hanging up. The sobbing started again and Spencer just couldn’t take it anymore. He opened the bathroom door and revealed himself, tears in his own eyes. You scrambled up to your feet and approached him cautiously.
“Hi,” he said, just above a whisper.
“Hey,” you said, lip quivering.
“What happened in Vermont?” He asked.
Your eyes dropped to the floor and he saw some tears fall. “My little sister killed herself.”
Spencer wanted nothing more than to grab you and hold you, but a voice in the back of his head told him that you’d reject him and call him disgusting. “I’m so sorry.”
“I’m sorry I wasn’t here,” you shook your head. “I should’ve been here.”
“You didn’t-”
“I missed you so much Spencer,” you sighed, a watery smile on your lips. “Why didn’t you respond to my letters?”
Spencer felt a weight on his chest tighten. “I-I couldn’t.”
“You responded to everyone else's.”
“You’re different-”
“I’m expendable. I’m just here, all the fucking time, aren’t I? Do you even want to get married?” You demanded.
Spencer brought a hand up to your cheek and wiped away a single tear. “I would marry you right now.”
You closed your eyes, pushing his hand away. “I’m sorry,” you cried. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
--------------------------
Spencer was quiet and allowed you your space, but still stayed close enough to be around. The following weeks were full of ups and downs, one of which ended with you sleeping on the couch.
He’d said something stupid about you not trying hard enough with taking care of yourself, like he had any weight in that conversation. He couldn’t even look at himself.
He didn't take kindly to that comment.
--------------------------
“You think it’s easy for me?” He asked. “I was in prison for-”
“You think that was easy for me? I was alone-”
“I never asked to be put in prison!” He shouted.
“I never asked for my sister to kill herself!” You screamed.
There was silence for a moment.
“I’m done with you,” Spencer snapped. “We’re done.”
And your heart broke for a second time.
--------------------------
“What happened?” Penelope asked, opening her door to you.
“We broke up,” you shrugged. “I need somewhere to stay until I can get an apartment.”
--------------------------
Penelope watched in horror as you went about your days as normal for the next three weeks. Acting as if nothing had even happened.
Something had happened. Your life had changed in two major ways. You weren’t a fiancé anymore. You weren’t a sister anymore. You were nothing. At least, that’s what it felt like.
And nothings aren’t FBI agents.
--------------------------
You sat in Emily’s office with a sullen look on your face. Her’s had drained of all colour when you handed in your gun and resigned.
“You’re serious?” she asked.
“Deadly.”
“You’re happy?” she asked again, meeting your eyes.
“No.”
She nodded, understanding your issues and pulled you in for a motherly hug. “We’ll miss you a lot.”
“Don’t be a stranger,” you sighed, lying to both of you. The phone would not be working both ways. She’d call and leave voice notes, and you’d listen to them but never reply. But it would be enough for the both of you.
“You’d never be a stranger to me,” she smiled sadly. Emily had been like a sister since the beginning. She’d always looked out for you. She’d always been there for you. “I’d suggest cleaning out your desk before Reid comes in next week,” she nodded, wiping her tears.
“It’s done.”
Emily nodded, then smiled at you. “You’re going to do something so special.”
“Thank you,’ you whispered, your emotions getting the better of you.
--------------------------
“Where’s Y/n?” Spencer asked, sitting at the roundtable. “Her desk is empty.”
“She left last week, Spence,” Jj admitted. “We thought she’d told you?”
“What? No, she didn’t tell me?”
“She’s your fiancé Spencer, she obviously had to tell you.”
Penelope and Emily made brief eye-contact. Spencer looked down.
“We broke up.”
Jj’s jaw dropped, Luke’s jaw dropped.
“She’s gone,” Emily sighed. “Sorry Spencer.”
--------------------------
Spencer’s world was in black and white. You were gone. You’d left. His love was gone.
How would he survive?

Snowed In
photos: pinterest dividers: @benkeibear, @mariariley, @haerinism
Word Count: 4.4k
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Female Reader
Summary: The entire BAU team decides to take a vacation to snowy Vermont. After a day of traveling together and being the last of the team to show up to the cabin, Spencer and y/n are exhausted and in need of quality time with their friends. When alcohol and games are mixed, Spencer decides to get y/n worked up before sneaking into her room that night to show her what can happen when the sexual tension between them finally snaps.
Warnings: smut, choking, alcohol consumption, others in the house, teasing, sneaking into her room, fingering, oral (female receiving), sexual tension, games (Twister).
A/N: I know it's freshly November but that's close enough to Christmas for me. This idea has been plaguing my brain for literal days now so I just couldn't resist the itch to write this. I also don't want to keep a masterpiece away from you guys especially since I probably won't be able to write for a week after this :(. But, as always, I hope ya'll eat this tf up like I did while I was writing it. <3 Also, I think I like the 3 pic banner so much better than the gifs so I might start doing that :)
THE ICE THAT COATED the sidewalk became a mirror, the concrete beneath twisting into the twin of the gloomy, gray sky above. Y/n's frost-bitten fingers tremble against the ebony wool coat she was wearing tightly wrapped as close to her body as she could possibly pull it. The unrelenting wind bit at her cheeks, her skin raw and burning.
She and Spencer had decided to walk through the cabin's yard rather than risk slipping on the glassy ice, which proved rather asinine as both of their boots and luggage wheels caked in packed snow and mud the deeper into the yard they hiked, slowing their pace. She peered ahead at Spencer under her heavy hood. His chestnut boots a bit more worse for wear than hers, considering he's worn the same ones probably every day of his life.
One hand shoved into his pockets, the other gripped onto the handle of his suitcase so tightly his knuckles blanched. His head dipped against the sharp wind. If she had any energy left by the time they finally reached the cabin's wooden front door, she was going to one hundred percent rub it in his face. They had a negligible argument prior to arriving at the cabin - Spencer completely hellbent on not needing a winter coat, and y/n explaining that Vermont's climate is completely paradoxical to Virginia's at most times of this year.
When they had left Virginia, the sky had been a meager blue, and the wind had grown a bite to it, indicating the impending winter but not intense enough to warrant them to avoid being outside at all costs yet. Temperatures had called for slacks and the usual sweater under a proper coat during their last few cases prior to their very welcomed vacation time. She just wanted to laugh in his face at how right she had been proven in the 5 minutes since they'd parked their rental car in the snow-packed driveway.
When they finally reach the cabin door, Spencer fumbles with the brass knob, his frozen fingers barely able to grasp it enough to twist and open. The door opens without difficulty and y/n almost slams into Spencer's back in an attempt to flee the harsh cold of Vermont.
Y/n hastily shut the door behind her. She and Spencer didn't bother unwrapping any scarves or unbuttoning any coats until they could feel their extremities again as they made their way into the expansive living room, leaving their suitcases by the door. A fresh pine tree lay decorated in lights and garland in the far right corner, the smell of pine welcome in her nose, a large window hiding behind it, climbing halfway up the logged wall before stopping and becoming more logs, with a smaller window on top, shaped to a slope to match the cabin's sloping ceiling.
JJ, Emily, and Penelope sit perched on the chocolate-colored couch to the left of the pine tree turned Christmas tree, wooly sweater sleeves pulled over their hands as they gently hold warm mugs of hot cocoa, most likely.
"You're finally here!" Penelope calls, setting her chipped mug gently on the coffee table just a leg lengths away from the couch. Emily and JJ copy Penelope's actions as they rush over to greet the two latecomers.
"We thought you guys might've gotten stuck or frozen to death or something," Emily explained, engulfing y/n in a hug so tight she thought her lungs might have to escape her body entirely to relieve the pressure.
"With the way Spencer drives, I think we almost got stuck like 4 times," y/n teased, resulting in a malicious side eye from Spencer but giggles from the women in front of her.
"To be fair, we only actually got stuck once. We made it in one piece so I don't see the issue."
Y/n rolled her eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips, the rest of her energy spent on the single ridicule, her mind unable to continue the back and forth.
"The rest of them are in the kitchen," JJ explains, leading them through an archway embellished with fake leaves and fairy lights.
Rossi's back is to them as he pulls a steaming mug from the microwave. When he finally turns to spot y/n and Spencer, the last two team members to make it through the treacherous countryside of Vermont, he places the mug on the kitchen island. "I was just making you guys some cups of cocoa, but it's the packet kind. I would've made it from scratch if I thought I could survive another trip outside."
The team erupted in chuckles, "Yeah, I wouldn't suggest going out there, Rossi. You might freeze on the spot," Morgan laughed.
"Hey, I'm old, but I'm not that old."
Spencer reached delicately for the mug resting on the kitchen island, sliding his fingers through the handle and carefully lifting it as to not spill it over his hand. He turns to y/n and holds out the cup for her.
"I'll take the next one," he smiles. She gives him a sweet smile back as she takes the hot cocoa from him, "Thanks, Spence."
Y/n rose to sit upon a marbled counter, her hot cocoa clutched into her hands, greedy for the warmth it brought to her numbed fingers. Her legs swung, feeling restless despite the exhaustion that weighed her entire body down.
Vacation had began to seem like a myth considering serial killers never cease to kill and each and every person in the kitchen with her had the same mindset when it came to their work. People need us. She can't remember the last time one of her coworkers had taken a vacation or even just a day off as if they were avoiding it like a contagious disease.
She had to admit, it did almost make her feel uncomfortable to think about taking a vacation. She didn't hold much trust in others to do their jobs for them. But, nevertheless, she was grateful to finally have some time to spend with her favorite people doing nothing but watching cheesy Christmas movies and playing board and card games like she was a child again.
With all her might, she pushed down the lingering guilt she always seemed to feel when she wasn't working towards catching a bad guy. Villains always need their heroes, and she didn't like the idea of letting the villains run rampant for too long.
Her internal battle must have shown on her face because Spencer laid a secretive hand over hers as he leaned against the countertop she sat upon. He tilted his face upwards to look at her, silently asking her, what are you thinking about? Spencer seemed to be the one person who could read her like a book, despite y/n keeping the book of her life and emotions locked, shut, and completely hidden away from everyone else.
She shrugged, not important. She diverted her gaze from his, the weight of his causing her mouth to part slightly, wanting to spill everything running through her mind - but she clamped her mouth shut because that is definitely not something she wanted to do in front of her entire team.
She could feel his gaze still on her, reading the emotions on her face like a book, as if he looked long and hard enough, her thoughts would display themselves above her head. "Stop profiling me, weirdo," she whispered, just loud enough for only him to hear.
He rolled his eyes at her, the corners of his mouth threatening to turn up into a smile.
"How was the drive, Spence? It seems like you guys got the worst of this incoming storm," JJ stated, her mug had been retrieved from the living room coffee table and now rested in her cupped hands as she rested her elbows on the kitchen island.
"Dangerous," y/n muttered. Spencer playfully elbowed her. "Hey! You can't tell me you didn't fear for our lives at least once during that drive."
Spencer didn't bother responding, knowing she was right. The drive hadn't been the worst it could've been, but the snow had began flurrying as they arrived to the airport, y/n's hood pulled so far over her head she kept her eyes locked on Spencer's boots in front of her to lead her. The roads were slick with snow and ice, and the winding strip of road leading up to the isolated cabin had not been the easiest or safest to navigate.
"It's a good thing you guys got here before it got too bad, we might have to really get comfortable with each other considering we'll most likely be stuck here longer than we want," Emily suggested. The team nodding in agreement. Y/n was grateful she had remembered to bring every card and board game she could get her little hands on - Monopoly, Cards Against Humanity, even Twister. She couldn't wait to get the team drunk and convince them to play Twister.
"Speaking of, I think it's time we whip out the alcohol and the games," Emily smiled, as if reading the thought directly from y/n's mind, taking a bottle of top-shelf Tequila by the neck and wiggling it in the air.
"Best idea I've heard all day," Rossi stated.
Y/n and her team made their way into the living room, spiked hot cocoa in hand. She relaxed in the middle of the couch after grabbing her Cards Against Humanity box from her suitcase by the door, Spencer to her right and JJ to her left. Rossi and Hotch taking the two reclining chairs and pulling them forward to reach the table. Emily gracefully sitting on a pillow on the floor, Morgan settling for sitting directly on the carpet, and when Spencer attempts to offer Emily his spot, she dismisses him with the wave of a hand and a suggestive glance towards y/n.
Spencer repositioned himself again on the couch, the meaning of Emily's glance fully understood.
Y/n takes the liberty of pulling the cards out of their designated box and separating them into piles scattered across the coffee table, making sure every has access to a pile of white cards. As she finishes, the conversation about who goes first and random rules to add immediately sparks. Considering the instructions clearly read that whoever pooped most recently was to be the one to start.
The conversation turned argument continued on longer than any thought necessary, laughter filling the cabin to the brim. "Well if we're really trying to have a good time, all the losers each round have to drink."
Once in agreement, the team finally quieted as Hotch reluctantly grabbed the black card on the top of the stack in the middle of the table and read it aloud.
Y/n's head began buzzing as they were a fourth of the way through the stack of black cards, the game no where within bounds of stopping. Her limbs finally felt loose from being curled up in a plane and car seat for hours, trying to avoid looking at the snowy danger they had to travel through.
The entire team shed their worries, stresses, and found it in themselves to be in the moment. Everyone had equal amounts of pain lacing their chests and stomaches from laughing too hard at cards played and also equal amounts of disgusted faces and a little bit of gagging after the rules began to increase the more alcohol consumed - they had began ranking everyone's answers by the fourth time around, the person in first being exempt from drinking anything, the person coming in last being required to take a shot instead of a sip of their drink. Y/n seemed to be on a losing streak.
Luckily, her team was too engrossed in the game to notice when she took smaller shots than she was supposed to. She didn't want to be totally inebriated in the first few hours of her first vacation in God knows how long.
Spencer's arm was outstretched on the couch behind her, his other hand holding his cards secretively, knowing that y/n would a hundred percent be trying to take peeks now and then.
Once they had almost completely blown through most of the black stack, y/n ceased the opportunity. "I brought Twister!"
The entire room cheered, and she stumbled over to her suitcase to grab it out. It was quickly set up within a minute and to her distress, they decided to make teams and compete, obviously.
The girls split into a group and the boys into another. Emily and Hotch started first, Emily easily more flexible than Hotch, his leg unable to twist towards the red dot in the corner, resulting in him falling over and a chorus of laughter echoing off the logged walls.
"Spencer, Y/n, you guys should do it next!" Penelope gasped. "You're both so lanky, it'll be a close match."
Y/n's heart beat against her throat and she felt the rush of heat bloom in her neck and rise towards her still raw cheeks. She took a deep breath, not willing to show how much of a reaction she had at the thought of being tangled up with Spencer.
JJ and Rossi finish their round, JJ sneakily leaning into Rossi enough to knock him over, giving the girls a 2 point lead. Y/n and Spencer stroll leisurely towards the edges of the Twister map. An arched brow climbs her forehead, "I hope you're ready to lose."
"In your dreams," he smirks, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.
As Penelope spins the pointer, she begins to call out body parts and colors. Within minutes, y/n and Spencer are a heap of tangled limbs, her back resting against Spencer's chest as she's bent over to reach her left hand to yellow, Spencer's hand next to hers on green. Her hair obstructs some of the view of the colored circles beneath them but the look of Spencer's flexed, muscular forearm on the side of her head does little to ease her rapidly beating heart. His breath is hot on the nape of her neck, coiling a heat in her middle she desperately attempts to push down.
"I think I enjoy you being under me," he whispers onto the skin of her neck, sending shivers rattling down her spine. As Penelope calls out left hand blue, she racks her gaze around the mat beneath them.
She can practically hear the rush of blood in her ears when she finally sees the blue between her strands of hair. The closet blue dot is down towards her legs, considering her right hand was already on the blue next to her left, requiring her to bend her hips upward. She takes a deep breath and reaches her hand to the spot, her ass rising upward into Spencer's hips.
She can hear the catch of his breath as she tilts upward to get into her position. The next color is called too soon after, resulting in Spencer's right leg moving to the left side of y/n's body, their bodies no longer touching in the way that spooled heat further into her center. Their limbs fight for purchase on different colored spots as the game continues, their teammates shouting at both of them, the game obviously riveting from above, but completely distracting between the two players.
After a few more minutes of twisting her body in ways she never knew she could, her arms trembled as she reached towards a yellow. Refusing to let a man who probably weighed the same as her beat her in a game of Twister, she fought through the shaking of her body and painful stretch of muscles she probably haven't used in years.
She could feel Spencer's body tremble underneath her, placed in almost the same position as before, just on the opposite side this time. "I think I enjoy being on top better," she whispered in the same way Spencer did to her.
His body tensed under hers before he dropped to the floor, crowning y/n the winner of quite literally a battle to exhaustion in a drunk game of Twister.
The women on her team cheered and hugged each other before reaching out a hand to pull her from her spot on the ground in which she collapsed onto right after Spencer did. "That was probably the longest game of Twister in the history of Twister games," Penelope laughed.
Y/n and Spencer plopped onto the couch together, content to watch Penelope and Morgan go against each other from their comfortable spots on the couch. As Emily called out colors and body parts and the teams cheering on their teammates, Spencer leaned over to y/n's ear. "If you're gonna be on top of me I think it'd rather be able to see you."
Her pulse quickened, the heat that as been building inside her since the start of their Twister match is beginning to come to an edge. Get a grip, she chastised herself. They were on vacation with their entire team for crying out loud, now was not the time for flirtatious advancements or sexual tension.
"In your dreams," she murmured, trying to keep the want in her voice caged down, but with the way that Spencer's lips lifted in a smirk told her she didn't do a very good job at it.
"Certainly."
She couldn't get her eyes to leave his face, lowering them to his mouth, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth to keep herself from saying anything stupid.
He noticed her do this and his expression turned hungry as he watched her work her bottom lip between her teeth. It was one of the things that always set him off without her even realizing. Her nervous tic could be taken as flirtatious by someone who doesn't know her. Even though Spencer knows better, it still causes tension inside his pants every damn time she does it.
"If you keep doing that I'm not going to be able to stop myself," he growled lowly.
The sexual tension between y/n and Spencer was almost palpable as the team said their drunken goodnights and stumbled to their respective rooms. Y/n climbed into her bed, pulling the quilt atop her closer to her face. Her thoughts swam, unable to stop them from completely consuming her with thoughts of Spencer - of his body on hers, his breath on her neck, and god damn the stupid comments he made, knowing they were working her up and torturing the hell out of her all night as they continued to play other games with their friends.
Her thoughts fell away, like birds falling out of the sky, as she heard a low sound. She sat up in her bed, trying to adjust her eyes to the darkness swallowing her room, in attempt to see what the noise was. Her door opened gently and a figure quietly stepped through the threshold and shut the door behind them, obviously trying not to wake anyone up.
"Hello?" Y/n called out softly, at first she thought it was Penelope, coming to tell her some new gossip she overheard somewhere. But, it wouldn't make any sense of her to sneak in if she thought y/n was asleep. It most definitely wouldn't have been Hotch, Rossi, or Morgan and the only reasonable explanation for any of them to be in her room is if they mistook her door for a bathroom, but she doesn't believe they'd be that quiet about it. Emily was so inebriated she almost didn't make it to her bed by herself.
A nervousness began in her chest as the figure stalked closer to her bed and didn't answer her. Before she could react, lips met hers hungrily. She gasped into their mouth, an opening they took to their advantage as they slipped their tongue between her lips and battled hers for dominance. She supposed that if this was someone trying to kill her, they wouldn't have kissed her first and damn it was a good kiss.
She allowed the kiss to overtake her senses, small moans rising out of her throat as her bottom lip was taken in between teeth and tugged. When her bedroom intruder finally broke their kiss, they were both panting. "I did warn you I wouldn't be able to control myself," the voice growled. Oh.
"Spencer?" Y/n whispered, "What are you doing?"
"Well I wasn't going to wait for you to come to me," he murmured, dipping his head to her neck, trailing sloppy kisses downward to her collarbones. Her fingers tangled into his soft curls, a moan slipping from her lips as he teased her sensitive skin.
"Shh," he shushes her, his voice vibrating through her entire body. "You don't want anyone to hear, do you?"
"Spence..." she whimpered.
His fingers played with the hem of her tank top, only the thin fabric separating him from her breasts.
"I can't get you out of my head and it's been driving me insane," he muttered against her bare skin, his fingers trailing lightly over her exposed lower abdomen, sending goosebumps over her skin. "I can't stop thinking about that pretty little mouth wrapped around me, or the sound of your moans that I coax out of you in every possible way I can, or the sound of you screaming my name as you come."
Y/n feels breathless at his touch, the skin beneath his lips burning with heat. "Are you okay with this?" He asks after y/n's silence.
"Absolutely," she whimpers. "Don't stop, please."
As if that was his undoing, he tears her tank top from her skin, y/n almost unable to raise her arms up in time to get it over. As soon as her tank top is thrown to the floor, his lips latch onto her peaked nipple and a cry of pleasure gathers in her throat but she clamps her lips shut, not wanting to let anyone hear. He continues to work her nipple in his mouth, using tongue and teeth, mixing pain and pleasure.
Her fingers grip his hair tighter, her back arching to bring his mouth as close as it could possibly get to her exposed breasts. Without budging from her nipple, he removes her pants swiftly, gripping her hips with his hands to swing her under him.
Her eyes can just barely make out his face in the dark hovering above her, her body begging for more. She squirms underneath him, hardly able to contain the desire coursing through her blood. His smile turns feral as he realizes just how badly she wants him to keep going.
He lowers himself antagonizingly slow, leaving soft kisses along her naked body until he reaches her inner thighs. He settles himself comfortably in between her legs as she widens them to give him complete access.
He slides his tongue gracefully through her folds and she lets out a gasp. "I've been aching to taste you," he groans against her center, gliding his tongue from the bottom up again. "You taste fucking delicious."
His pace starts out tame as he saviors every whimper that leaves her mouth and the taste of her on his tongue. Another gasp escapes her as he slips a finger in, wasting no time in gently sliding it in and out, curling it upwards to hit her sweet spot just right. She bucks her hips, riding his tongue and finger as her pleasure builds in intensity, her breathing ragged.
Suddenly, his tongue and finger abandon her and she lets out a whine of disappointment. "Someone's needy," he chuckles lowly. "I'd rather make you come with me buried deep inside you."
Spencer quickly undresses himself and gently lines up with her center. He slides the tip through her folds, making her arch her back towards him, her silent plea.
Without hesitation, he slips inside her and releases a groan. "You're so wet for me," he smirks. She can barely see his face, but she knows he has a smug look on it. It's as if he's known how crazy he makes her, how she has fantasized about this very moment before.
His thrust starts out delicate, like he's afraid he's going to break her apart. She wraps her legs around his waist, an attempt to pull him as deep as possible. "Careful," he growls against her neck as he teases her skin once more. "I don't want to let loose just yet and hurt you."
"What if I like it rough?"
"Tell me how you want it, then." A challenge.
"I want you to fuck me dumb."
"Your wish is my command," he smiles against her skin and immediately latches onto her neck, sucking and pulling on her delicate skin. His hands grip her waist to keep her steady as he pounds into her, the sound of his bare thighs hitting hers. He places a hand on her throat and gently squeezes, as if he knows exactly how she likes it.
"Fuck.." Spencer growls, unhooking her legs from his waist with his available hand and using his weight to lift her legs above her head and driving in deep. Y/n claps a hand over her mouth to keep her screams in, her other hand gripping the sheets so hard her knuckles turn white. "You're taking me like such a good girl."
"Fuck, Spencer," she whimpers under her palm.
"Say my name again."
"Spencer..."
"Louder."
"Fuck, Spencer!" She cries as he hits home, her pleasure reaching it's breaking point hastily.
"Open your mouth," he demands. She releases her palm from over her mouth and opens wide, Spencer wasting no time in sticking two fingers on her tongue. She closes her lips around his fingers and slides her tongue over their length. He groans in pleasure as she continues to tease his fingers.
"Come for me."
Those words were her undoing as she falls over the edge, Spencer following her over and her body releasing the pent up desire. Her entire body trembles as ecstasy floods her.
He releases her legs but stays positioned inside her, face hovering just inches above hers. Their panting breaths tangle with each other in the air between them. "You took me like such a good girl," he coos, cupping her cheek gently and rubbing her heated skin with his thumb.
"Can I tell you a secret?" Y/n whispers, trying to control her wildly racing heart.
"Of course."
"I've thought the same things," she confesses, pulling him by the hair to meet her lips again. "And I hope you're not too tired for another round."
An animalistic smile grows on his face as he pauses their kiss, "I'm going to tear you apart."

Around the World Part 2
Hello and welcome to the second chapter of this lovely fic. We have all sorts of thrills for you on this one.
A ghost town, a haunted B&B, and Gaming Con Salt Lake City.
Did I spend too much time in Utah? Oh no doubt, but I am a Utah girlie born and bred and I know a bit more about it then anywhere else.
Part 1
~
At breakfast in the little nook the B&B provided for them to eat, Robin was eyeing Eddie and Steve suspiciously.
“I can’t believe you two actually went to bed after we parted for the night,” she huffed. “I was expecting at least some vigorous exercise, if you know what I mean.”
But before either of them could reply, one of the owners came over and tutted at Steve. She was an elderly woman with frizzy hair and half moon glasses. “Do you like to exercise, young man?”
Steve pursed his lips to avoid laughing in his hostess’s face and nodded. “I usually like to go for a run in the morning, but I’m on vacation.” He kicked Robin’s shin for good measure.
“I understand, dear,” she said patting his shoulder. “When we make a habit of something our friends can be a little shocked when we take a break.” She wandered back into the kitchen to get more coffee.
“Did you forget that Eddie and I aren’t supposed to be a couple?” Steve hissed. “It’s a good thing she missed the double entendre otherwise you might have gotten us kicked out.”
Robin threw herself against the back of the chair with a huff and crossed her arms. She looked away and Chrissy whispered to her for a bit while Steve and Eddie ate their food.
“Sorry.”
Suddenly there was a crash and the woman started screaming. “George! She’s done it again! Either she goes or I do!”
Their whole table went silent but everyone around kept going about their business like this happened all the time.
Steve asked a nearby table what that was all about.
“That’s Nessie Thomas,” the man explained. “She’s been haunting this house since she died of the Spanish Flu in 1918. She doesn’t like the way Emma does her eggs and will pull the pans off the shelf to express her displeasure.”
Steve and Robin looked at each other and then started shoveling food in their mouths. Chrissy raised an eyebrow at Eddie in askance.
“Soulmate telepathy,” he said with a shrug. “I think basically, they want to get out of here as fast as possible before the ghost starts throwing something more dangerous than pans.”
Chrissy tilted her head and there was another crash and more screaming from the kitchen.
Her eyes widened and she too started hurrying to finish her breakfast.
“That’s it! George you can have the witch!” Emma screamed. She stomped out of the kitchen and threw her apron on the floor on her way out the door.
Eddie turned to the guy who had told them about the ghost. “Is that normal, too?”
The guy laughed. “Sure is. About once a month Emma declares she’s done and then after two or three days of George nearly running this place into the ground, she comes back with a shit ton of garlic, a bowl of salt, and a crucifix or three.”
That was when Eddie started to hurry up with breakfast. Ghosts were fine, but weaponized incompetence was where he drew the line.
They made it out to their roomy SUV Eddie had rent for their tour of America’s haunted places. They would return it in New Hampshire after touring all the HH Holmes sites, in Pennsylvania for his grave site, Vermont for where he fell the police, and finally New Hampshire for his birthday place. They would see other sites in between in Pennsylvania and New York.
Their final stop was Boston where they would take a flight to Queenstown in Ireland where they would begin their tour of Europe’s haunted places as New Hampshire didn’t have any international flights. So they would take a flight down to Massachusetts, see Salem and the birth place of Edgar Allen Poe and then fly out to Ireland.
Their next stop was Brodie, CA. A ghost town from the Gold rush that mysteriously burned down in the 1930s.
“It’s so creepy,” Robin said as they walked through the town, everything just as people left it all those years ago.
Suddenly there was a large bang and both Eddie and Robin grabbed Steve’s hands, one each, while Chrissy, clutched Eddie’s free arm, burying her face into it.
Steve smiled but wisely said nothing when they wanted to continue, but did not want to let go of his hands. He found the place more sad than creepy. These people thought they were going to get rich and suddenly everything went horribly wrong.
They made it back to the car, his koalas still firmly attached.
“You don’t think there were like, actual ghosts,” Robin asked, “do you?”
Steve merely pursed his lips as the three of them went off on all sorts of theories for the phenomena that went on in that town. From natural gases, to wind, to actual ghosts. They hadn’t reached a consensus by the time Steve hit the freeway.
~
They traveled all over the west and were a little disappointed when the got to Utah and found that Skinwalker Ranch didn’t allow visitors.
“That’s lame,” Chrissy said at the cafe they stopped in after seeing the “no trespassing” signs. “I really wanted to get a closer look at that one.”
A nearby local snorted. “It’s ‘cause they’re filming another season of that show right now. You just came at the wrong time.”
Robin sunk down in bench of their booth and crossed her arms with a pout. “That sucks.”
“There’s always Blind Frog Ranch,” the local suggested. “It’s near here, and you can even book tours.”
Eddie pulled out his phone and within minutes the girls and Eddie had booked a tour while Steve talked to the local. His name was Cary and he had lived in the area his whole life.
“Blind Frog isn’t as famous,” Cary told Steve, “but it’s still a pretty good haunt if you like that sort of thing.”
“Sounds right up our alley,” Steve agreed. “We’ve spent a good couple of days in Vegas at the Monster Museum and Museum of Illusions as well as a couple of others thrown in for fun.”
“You taking in as many sites as you can?”
Steve nodded. “We can do whatever we want as long as we are in Boston for our flight to Ireland in three weeks time.”
“You’re pretty slow going,” Cary said. “You’ve only made it through a third of the country.”
“Yeah,” Steve said, pulling out their map of places they wanted to see. “But we’re from the Midwest and are already familiar with those sites, so we’ll be breezing past those.”
Cary nodded. He pointed to a place on the map. “That there is Fall River. That’s where the Lizzy Borden house is. It’s a bed and breakfast. My niece stayed out there when she was in the state for Halloween in Salem.”
Steve circled it and put a little number on it and then made a note on the side what that was.
“Hey, Eds?” Steve called over his shoulder.
“Yeah?”
“Be sure to book us in the Lizzy Borden B&B.”
Robin and Chrissy shared shocked but excited glances and they bent over Eddie’s phone yet again. This time for a B&B in Massachusetts.
Steve thanked Cary and went back to his table, map firmly in hand.
“Well,” Chrissy said brightly. “It wasn’t a complete wash.” She turned around to where Cary had been sitting to thank him but he had vanished.
~
The trip to Blind Frog was as fun as Cary said it was going to be. They asked around but there hadn’t been a Cary around town for a long time.
“Did–was he–he couldn’t have,” Eddie said, his eyes wide, “could he?”
“You’re asking me if there is a thing as ghosts?” Steve asked his hands on his hips. “Because if you are, we are going home this instant. If you can’t handle a friendly one, you aren’t going to fair well in Europe.”
Robin and Chrissy shared a glance and Robin crossed her arms. “And just how would you know?”
Steve pinched the bridge of his nose and looked down, pained. He looked upwards and nodded to himself as he fought to control his temper. Because even Eddie was looking confused.
“Did you people forget that I had wealthy parents that before I came out as bi,” he said tersely, “took me with them on vacations. Vacations to Europe, Cancun, The Bahamas, Australia?”
Chrissy raised her hand. “Like I didn’t know that. But probably should have guessed,” she explained as Eddie and Robin looked a tad chagrin and refused to look Steve in the eye.
“She’s excused.” He turned to his best friend and his boyfriend. “So what about you too?”
“Sorry, Stevie,” Eddie murmured. “I guess I did forget that you’ve done this sort of thing before.”
“Yeah,” Robin said softly. “I was just thinking about travel in terms of before stardom and after. And before was when you met me and not, you know the previous eighteen years before that.”
“So are we okay with ghosties?” Steve asked, tilting his head forward and to the side.
All three of them nodded.
“Good,” he replied rubbing his hands together, “I hear the McCune Mansion in Salt Lake is extra haunted.”
~
They pulled up to the mansion and out front was a Mystery Machine, a 1967 Chevy Impala, and an Echo 1 in the parking lot.
Steve licked his lips slowly. “Uh, hey guys? How do we feel about skipping this one and moving on to the next one?”
“Baby,” Eddie cooed, “I’d be very grateful to you if you did just that.”
“We can still say we’ve been here,” Chrissy hedged from the back seat. “We just don’t have to go in.”
Robin sat in silence for a moment. “Whatever is happening inside that house is way above our level to handle. All in favor of moving to the next creepy thing say ‘aye’?”
Everyone said “Aye!” and Steve pulled slowly out of the parking lot.
They pulled into a pizza place just off the nearby university campus called The Pie for some really good pizza and great atmosphere. Eddie fell immediately in love with all weird decor and graffiti everywhere.
They were also amazed that everyone was in costumes of some sort.
“What’s going on?” Robin asked their waitress when she brought them the largest pizza they had ever seen in their lives.
“Local gaming convention this weekend,” she said. “I don’t know how they can stand the heat with all those layers. I would have passed out before noon.”
Eddie began to vibrate. “Guys, guys... can we go? Pleeaassse!”
Steve and Chrissy shared a glance. Eddie was sure to get recognized if they did.
“Fuck, yeah. Let��s go,” Robin said, slamming her hand on the table.
Steve jumped and looked her in the eye. She tilted her head to the side and smirked. He blinked, furrowing his brow. She wagged her eyebrows. He cocked his head to the side and tapped his lips thoughtfully. She leaned forward expectantly. He threw his arms up in the air in resignation.
“Yes!” Robin crowed. “I win!”
Chrissy blinked in confusion. “Was there a conversation in that? Because I must of have missed something if there was.”
“Soulmate telepathy,” Eddie explained solemnly. “It’s rare to see that pronounced though. Usually it’s more subtle.”
With a sigh Chrissy pulled out her phone and after a bit of searching and some phone tag was able to get ahold of convention management. “Yes, I’m a completely serious. I’m just giving you a head’s up because if a single fan tags his location you might get more fans at your convention than the fire marshals will allow.”
Eddie grimaced. “Oops. I forgot I was that level of famous.”
“So?” Robin huffed. “You should still be able to go out and have fun if you want to. Just pull your hair up in a ponytail and wear a hat and sunglasses. You can tell people you’re Bucky Barnes.”
Steve huffed out a laugh. “If he’s Bucky, who does that make me? I’m not blond enough for Steve Rogers, though Chrissy could absolutely pull on ‘End Game’ Natasha.”
Chrissy bowed to the best of her ability sitting down. “Why thank you!”
“Robbie could be Carol Danvers!” Eddie crowed. “It’d be awesome!”
They started throwing out ideas like Tony Stark or Clint Barton, but none of them really fit Steve.
Then Robin hit on the perfect idea. “Hey, Steve, did you bring your glasses with you?”
“Yeah,” Steve said slowly. “I can’t wear my contacts when I get my migraines, why?”
Robin just grinned.

Henry wants to move away from the city and surprises you with a country house …
Surprise get away - TSH
Henry Marchbanks Winter x GN!Reader
Precious anonymous, I hope you enjoy Henry's modest get away plan.
Henry disappears for weeks, only for him to come back with a surprise.
Henry as a lover is not particularly affectionate. He doesn’t suffocate me with besotted compliments and gentle touches. The space he allows me is welcomed with much gratitude, however, this doesn’t mean I do not enjoy the occasional in-bed morning kisses under Apollon’s playful, morning rays, the hours spent in the comforting silence of each other’s presence, or the way his hand finds its way around my waist or on my thigh so stealthily that I only notice it when the familiar warmth seeps through my clothes and into my skin as if it is the very fuel my body runs on.
Lately, he’s been somewhat more distant than usual. I have not talked or heard from him outside our almost everyday classes with Julian for weeks. The other day I even dropped by his apartment only to be greeted by scattered advertisements, cut-out mail, papers with phone numbers, and announcements ripped out of newspapers all revolving around extravagant countryside houses with imposing, marble columns, vast fairytale-like green gardens, and enough rooms to fit a family of ten. I couldn’t figure out why Henry was looking into houses, but something must have happened otherwise he wouldn’t want to go so far away from Hampden, from Julian, from me.
I am wasting my time worrying about him when I should be writing my assignment. He is more than capable of taking care of himself and I trust that if the situation calls for it he will ask for my help. Just as I pick up my fountain pen to finally start the long-overdue translation of the first few books from the Aeneid I hear the sound of the key turning in my door’s lock. The only one with a copy of my dorm key is Henry.
‘Where have you been?’ I inquire just as he graciously walks in as if he hasn’t been absent for the past days.
‘Get dressed.’ He orders with no care about what I’m doing whatsoever.
‘I’m working on my assignment.’ I point out sharply. ‘You cannot demand me to get dressed without telling me what you have planned.’
‘I assure you, you will not be displeased.’
Moments later, I’m sat in the passenger’s seat watching humans, shops, and houses blur into moving, indecipherable colours as Henry drives us out of Vermont towards Demeter’s neverending golden plains and dense forests.
‘I consider it unfair when you use my curiosity against me.’ I sigh, rolling down the window to vent out the smoke from the cigarette I just lit.
‘It is a great disadvantage which the comfort of love drags after itself.’ Henry half-smirks at me, his blue eyes behind the glasses abnormally warm.
‘And what may this terrible disadvantage be?’ I hold my cigarette to his lips and he takes a long drag from it before I bring it back to mine.
‘The mortifying ordeal of being known.’ The smoke escapes his lungs with every syllable he pronounces and I find it utterly entrancing.
.
.
.
.
.
Henry’s faint voice swirls in my mind, disturbing the unconscious state in which I am. Even in sleep, I can distinguish his precious voice from any other external sounds. He whispers my name and it hits my mind’s walls echoing until I wake up.
‘We have arrived.’ He announces with a slight smile and helps me step out of the car.
It takes me a moment to realise the massive manor towering over me with its aged stone walls covered in wicked ivy, large, arched windows with intricate tracery that allow glimpses into the stately interiors and prominent towers crowned with finials and spires piercing the limitless sky. Two watchful statues stand by the grand wooden doors as if anticipating our arrival. Suddenly, it all clicks together and I glare at Henry.
‘Is this why you’ve barely spoken to me in weeks?’ He was already retrieving his luggage along with another one he had packed for me using the various pieces of clothing I had left at his apartment throughout our relationship. ‘I can’t believe this..’ I shake my head and cross my arms, staring at the incredible purchase, knowing that it probably cost him a fortune.
‘Let us enjoy this.’ He comes to stand by my side, suitcases in hand. ‘I have already spoken with Julian. I told him we would not be attending classes for a few weeks due to personal matters. Naturally, he wasn’t very pleased, but there is nothing he can do.’
‘Henry Marchbanks Winter skipping classes? I did not think I would live to see this day.’ It is nice to tease him once in a while.
‘I needed a break from society. Everyone does after a while and this place is perfect for such an occasion.’ For once, he looks relaxed and I decide to do as he wishes for the time being.
‘Why bring me here then? Wouldn’t it be better if you were to be alone here with your studies?’
Henry looks at me as if he has not been expecting the question and bursts into genuine laughter. ‘And leave my only piece of sanity in Vermont? That is something I couldn’t even dream of.’ He starts guiding me toward the entrance, his hand once again finding its rightful place on my waist.

My thoughts on the Pricefield break up and why I think it's for the best
Now that the smoke cleared. Here's my take on the break up.
It's realistic. People change and people grow apart. Even Max and Chloe.
However. The reason for the break up they provided is bad writing.
Before I continue, apparently it was revealed that the reason for Chloe's omission was this was originally a Bay centric game only, The decision was a Zak Garriss decision before he left D9 and they refused to course correct to satisfy both endings. And Deck Nine's refusal to keep them together and the reasons why is terrible fucking writing.
"Chloe is a free spirit" and “she can't stay in one place for long”
You're not describing Chloe, you're not even describing Rachel. You're describing Cassidy from LIS 2.
Also. This one bit of Max's journal from the Bae timeline is not only cringe, but completely out of character for both Max and Chloe.
Not in Max's art style. Did they even PLAY LIS1? Max has her own unique art style.
What they chose to put in here is style over substance. Just because you can make hyperrealistic art, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD! Life Is Strange had a unique art style. There's something so charming about it's cartoonish art and has more appeal than the crap we've been spoonfed since D9 got their hands on the franchise.
And another thing is how Chloe talks. Joking about a three way(despite Chloe's a lesbian) it fetishises their sex life, Chloe acting possessive, toxic and joking about murder. You can clearly tell this was written by a man. Chloe has never called Max a bitch. She has never once claimed Max as hers. Not even in a BDSM way. She respects Max too much. Chloe wasn't even that possessive when Max answered Kate's call or told Warren she was on for going ape. "you're mine bitch" hahaha who wrote this shit? Cause that's not Chloe.
Not even when she was with Rachel was she like that. The writers are thinking of Cassidy, not Chloe. Chloe is like me in the sense that she loves deeply the people she's attached to.
Chloe is REALLY attached to the people she loves deeply because of her trauma of being left by the ones she loved.
To me it works because guilt, trauma and what happens after you survive, but your mother doesn't would really fuck a person up. You can try to make the relationship work and you can try to pretend everything is okay. But it's not. People grow up and people change. So realistically I can see Chloe ultimately realizing she can't continue the relationship, maybe Chloe talked to Steph, found out about Steph's mom/Drew and the guilt just consumed her and she just couldn't lie to herself anymore and chose to leave Max. And if we talk realistically, it is very obvious that such a decision as letting an ENTIRE community die, was not going to be a decision that would make a relationship last forever. It is just logic.
And honestly? Max and Chloe learning to survive without each other is a much more compelling story.
Max having to start over in Vermont because she has no one. Bae Max... is left with no one NO ONE, not Kate, not Warren, not Joyce, not even Victoria... and not even Chloe... she's ALONE! Her new life at that university is completely understandable.
But I can also see Max in this timeline coming terms of the guilt of her own decision. If Bay Max still struggles with sacrificing Chloe, I can't imagine the weight of the guilt that Bae Max struggles with. Her decision killed her friends, Joyce and at least 1000 people. Like you can say they are okay with each other, but it's not realistic.
And Chloe learning to live a life without Max, her family or Rachel. Getting her education, getting a job, setting her new life up, living off the grid and learning to cope via therapy and learning to be a better person.
Maybe they get back into contact eventually, try to get back together or at the very least try to be friends or part ways mutually.
I've learned the hard way that those old friendships don't always last. Things change, you drift apart and despite loving each other or things going wrong, you know it always won't work out and that's okay. That's life.
But in my honest petty opinion? This is karma. Before I continue I must preface my statement by saying not all Pricefield shippers, just the toxic ones.
Karma for having a fanbase acting like the biggest bullies in the world. Karma for victim blaming Rachel instead of her groomers. Karma for having a fanbase acting like the biggest whiny self-entitled brats that would make Dudley DUrsley go "wow, maybe 36 presents IS ENOUGH" karma for harassing Warren's voice actor to the point where he didn't appear at the Blackwell reunion nor was he mentioned. Karma for harassing Grahamfield shippers to the point where there is barely any content over the last fucking decade. Karma for flooding the Max/Warren ao3 tag with rape and murder fantasies and calling anyone who dares to like them together r-slurs and f-slurs. Like I'm sorry, I'm not trying to lump the whole fandom together, but when you harass me, my friends and harass Warren's and now Amanda's fucking voice actors over a fictional ship(Max and Chloe would hate these types of fans btw) sorry but not sorry.
You reap what you sow for acting like horrible bullies and believing a capitalistic company gave a shit about core spirit of LIS 1 and Max and Chloe as characters.
and The fact that some of ya'll can’t appreciate Max unless shes with Chloe says more than you could imagine if I'm honest
and at the end of the day, the fandom found more of a problem with Chloe's omission and Pricefield's breakup than Deck Nine cultivated a toxic work environment, rampant sexism, homophobia and transphobia and protected a fucking Nazi. Like how is Max and Chloe's break up MORE OFFENSIVE THAN PROTECTING A FUCKING NAZI???
Okay, rant over, just needed to get that off my chest.
It's clear this was a Max Bay centric game, but they were afraid of the backlash and kept up the suspense for as long as they could, now the cat is out of the bag. What they should have done was say "This is a continuation of the Bay timeline, if this does good we'll do a game about Max and Chloe in the Bae timeline." but they didn't and lied about respecting the endings.
I also feel like Ashly Burch being a SAG-AFTRA VA is mainly why Chloe's not in the game. SE doesn't want to do business with union actors and would rather reuse old voice lines or hire Rihanna than honor any of Ashly's requests.
Also? Max still hasn't learned anything. Max apparently formed another codependent relationship that she couldn't let go to the point where she's fucking up reality by creating yet another parallel world. Even in the bae timeline, Max choosing to use her powers to save someone she grew attached to, something that drove Chloe apart… That's bad writing.
I do think Max having a story to herself centered in the Bay timeline is a good idea, however. Making Max look unrecognizable, erasing Warren, Kate,(I literally just wanted to see Max and Warren Go Ape and Max and Kate having a fucking tea date) Victoria and anyone else from Arcadia Bay, Hannah not convincingly sounding like an older Max, the sterile change in art direction, turning a passion project to just "another franchise" and oh yeah keeping A FUCKING NAZI employed for a franchise that is supposedly a diverse celebration of queer people and POC. Prevents me from enjoying what would be the next chapter in Max's life.
At this point I just want the franchise to crash and burn with Deck Nine and Square Enix's terrible decision making. Not really respecting either ending, erasing the importance of Warren, Kate, Victoria, and Joyce, removing Chloe and not giving us the chance to save Rachel. Just a copy paste of LIS 1 in a more boring whodunit with forced love interests instead of giving us more time with Chloe or Warren. and oh yeah, PROTECTING A FUCKING NAZI!
I hope SE/D9's greed kills the franchise.

Congrats on 1k followers 💓 I am so happy for you!
And can I please request the “stranded” prompt from your bingo game?
Just imagine Bucky and reader not really liking each other and being stranded somewhere after a mission. The tension, the intrigue, the fluff! Ugh I’m excited ❤️🔥
Much love, Meg (espinosaurusrexex) ✨
Hiii thank you thank youuu!! ❤️🔥 Here's the "stranded" prompt! I hope you like it <33
*
Your legs felt heavy as you walked deeper into the forest. The “simple” mission Sam sent you on had taken you from morning to afternoon and now, into the night. You found yourself trying to ignore the ache enveloping your body as you dragged your exhausted body through the damp ground. Whoever said nature gives you peace and makes you feel grounded is an idiot.
Stupid Sam, with his stupid mission, and his “You’ll be in and out in an hour, two tops.” You thought.
On paper, it looked easy. You were supposed to go to a warehouse that was used as a training camp during the war somewhere in Vermont. There had been a couple of reports stating weird things were happening, there was talk of more super serum and information taken by Hydra being hidden there. But someone must have been tipped off because when you got there, everything was gone. Well, almost everything. Before you got to the warehouse, whoever was getting rid of the evidence clearly wanted to get rid of you too. Blinding gas tanks were detonated and they’d wired bombs to the landing strip, the quinjet completely destroyed.
You always had a Plan B, of course. A safehouse some miles into the forest that bordered the area near Montreal.
Your shoulders dropped as you saw caught sight of the small cabin. The sigh you let out was the first thing you’d heard in an hour, apart from the sound of two pairs of boots crunching down on the dropping leaves.
Bucky turned to look at you but you kept your gaze forward. You were in absolutely no mood to talk. It was his fault you were here but you knew he would never admit it.
You walked up the old wooden stairs and stopped at the door.
“Are you waiting for the door to magically open?” Bucky crossed his arms over his chest.
Your hand covered your eyes. “You cannot be serious. Sam gave you the key for the safehouse in case we needed it.”
“Yeah, I know.” Bucky shrugged. “And I put it in my backpack.”
“And where’s your backpack?” You asked, annoyed.
Bucky looked over both his shoulders and spun around once. “Does it fucking look like I have my backpack?”
“You lost the only thing you were supposed to keep track of?” You groaned.
“Well I’m sorry, I was trying to not get killed by the fucking bombs!” Bucky rolled his eyes.
You put your hand up, conveying a clear stop talking or I’ll kill you message, and knelt down. You took a couple of paper clips from the inside of your vest and straightened them to try and pick the lock.
“Wouldn’t it be easier and more effective to carry a lockpick set?” Bucky asked.
You stopped working on the lock to take a deep breath. We do not kill innocent people. You repeated in your head. Even if they’re not so innocent and they’re assholes.
You were able to get the door open after a few minutes. You took in your surroundings as you came in and turned on the lights. There was a landline phone at one end of the small cabin and a couple of medical aid kits, a couch on the other side of the four walls and a small table with two chairs next to it, but that was about it. You looked out the window and into the night, there wasn’t anything to be seen. Miles upon miles of trees, a good hour and a half away from any sort of civilization. You were truly stranded.
“This place looks like shit.” Bucky said.
Five words, that’s all it took to ignite the fire that had been lightly burning in your being.
“Really? Because I think this place is incredibly charming.” You said, your words dripped sarcasm. “This was actually my idea of a perfect Friday night! Go on a mission, have you mess everything up by not checking if the place was decked out in bombs and having to walk almost two hours to a safehouse.”
“How is this my fault! You were the one who wanted to land the jet closer to the warehouse.” Bucky’s tone rose, his chest heaved.
“Oh don’t you try and flip this situation around.” You warned. “Because the problem starts and ends with you being selfish! And because of your idiotic need for individualistic recognition and praise, we're stranded!”
Bucky was fully ready to let his wrath out on you but just as he was about to tell you why you were the problem, he saw a stain on your light grey vest. He furrowed his eyebrows at the large dark stain.
“What happened to you?” He asked, getting closer and lightly tracing over the spot.
A painful shriek slipped out of you as you felt the pressure, Bucky stepped back.
You grabbed one of the kits and dropped your body on one of the chairs. With a groan and a wince, you took your vest off and pulled your shirt up, tucking it under the wire of your bra.
You teared the packaging for the antiseptic wipe and tried to clean the area. The large gash on the skin covering your ribs was still leaking blood.
Bucky sat down on the chair next to you and pulled your chair closer to him, taking the wipe from your hands. “C’mon let me do it, I’ve got a better angle.”
You threw your head back and hissed as he pressed the wipe to your wound.
“How’d you even get a cut like this?” Bucky asked, his usual frown softened a worried look taking its place.
You shrugged your shoulders. “What did you say earlier? I was trying to not get killed by the fucking bombs. Couldn’t really concentrate on anything else.”
The corner of Bucky’s mouth turned upwards slightly.
You took sight of the man in front of you. The warm light cast intricate shadows on Bucky’s face. You could see his frown lines but you also took note of the small wrinkle on each side of his lips. Smile lines. You thought of the few times you’d seen him smile. You’d seen him give out his fake smile many times at press conferences or Stark events, but Buck’s true smile- the one you knew was hard to get out of him- you had only seen once or twice in passing. There was that one time when Sam finally broke him down with a cheesy joke, Bucky’s whole face would light up and an ear-to-ear smile would reveal his pearly whites. You had noticed your breath hitching when you saw him, not that you would ever admit it.
A smile of your own threatened to appear as you saw how his tongue poked out of the side of his mouth, concentrated on treating your wound.
“Will you stop looking at me like that?” Bucky said in a soft voice. He took the needle out of the packaging, you needed at least three stitches. “It’s making me lose my focus.”
“Sorry.” You whispered.
“S’okay.” Bucky mumbled.
You felt your mouth open without consulting with your brain. The question on the tip of your tongue. “Tell me a joke.”
You don’t know what came over you but you asked it. Maybe it was the exhaustion or the lack of blood. You saw Bucky’s eyebrows furrow and his jaw tense. His expressive face went through all the emotions.
“A joke?” Maybe he hadn’t heard correctly, you definitely didn’t say that. How could the woman with whom he’d spent more time arguing than actually talking ask him to tell her a joke.
“Tell me a joke.” You repeated, it was too late to back out now.
“What’s a prize old people can win for aging?” Bucky asked, his eyes focused on finishing up your stitches but his brain was elsewhere.
“What?”
“Atrophy.” His celeste eyes looked up at yours and there it was, a smile. You knew you probably looked dumbfounded but there wasn’t any other expression you could make. Now you knew why Bucky didn’t smile as much, that man could start a war if he wanted to just by flashing a quick smile.
You let out a light laugh. “That was a really bad joke.”
“I’m out of practice, I can’t remember the last time someone asked me for a joke.” Bucky bit his bottom lip.
“You should smile more often.” Bucky’s eyes widened at your words.
“I-I should?” He stuttered, quickly finishing the last stitch. Taking a bandage strip and placing it over his work.
“You have a really nice smile.” You said and watched as his cheeks turned red.
With a cough, he stood up from the chair. Rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. “Thanks, it’s- been a long time since someone’s said that.”
“Am I the first person to tell you you have a nice smile in 70 years?” You asked.
“Well- I – when you think about it-“ Bucky’s brain was frying, he had no idea what to do in this situation. He’d begged Sam not to put you two together in a mission for this exact reason. You were extremely irritating to him but at the same time he couldn’t help but want you. Want to be near you. You had the ability to make him angry in a matter of seconds but make his pants feel tight with just a couple of words. The devious smile playing on your lips only made him harder.
“I’m gonna call Sam to see when he can pick us up.” Bucky gulped.

You Scare Me, Professor: Chapter 46
Summary: The reader is taking graduate classes at a local university in the wooded upstate New York. She is drawn to her professor, Dr. Joel Miller, though she is also inherently aware that he has something dark about him that she can't quite put her finger on. As the reader's attraction grows deeper, she has to decide whether to endure the danger or run away as fast as possible.
Pairing: Professor Joel Miller x f!reader
Showering in luxury was rejuvenating. The whole trip was rejuvenating. Despite it being my second shower in a matter of hours, I didn’t care. I enjoyed it. I indulged in it. And, frankly, I knew internally I was just passing the time in the most relaxing way possible until Dr. Miller returned to our room.
No harm, I reminded myself. I had a bad habit of making myself feel guilty for no reason, and i wasn’t about to do that right then. Things were fine. There was no harm in indulging in all that the hotel had to offer. And why wasn’t I entitled to a few mindless hours of peace?
Peace. Quiet. The sound of the shower raining down. Tranquility. That all ended when the lights went out.
My inner peace suddenly transformed into an adrenaline-fueled bout of anxiety.
“Hello?” I let out a breath and the optimistic side of me longed for Dr. Miller to playfully join me in the shower after turning off the lights, though when I called out his name, no one answered.
I turned off the shower and stood there in the darkness. In the quiet. The quiet that had brought me so much peace just seconds ago suddenly felt menacing. Something was up. Something was off.
“Joel?” I called out again.
Nothing.
Would a resort have a power outage? I doubted it. They would have generators; especially in the heart of Vermont where snow storms and nor’easters were a regular occurrence. So, what was going on?
I exited the shower and immediately reached for a towel in the darkness. I patted my face first and ran it through my dripping hair before drying off as much as I could and wrapping it around my body. The dampness on my back from my hair made my entire body feel cold. A chill ran down my back and I hugged the towel against myself.
I breathed heavily and considered locking the bathroom door and just remaining inside until Dr. Miller returned, but why? What would I do? Wait? For how long? And why? No one could get into my room without a key card.
Except for the workers, I reminded myself.
No. No that wouldn’t happen. Especially not at a place like this. They wouldn’t risk some kind of a lawsuit that would drive away clientele.
“Joel?” I called out again, but there was nothing.
I tiptoed across the cold tiles toward the door and reached for the light switch. Much to my surprise, the lights flicked on.
I breathed. Relief filtered through my body, until it registered just a few seconds later that someone had to turn off the light. Someone else was in the room. Was it Dr. Miller being playful? Was it one of the girls just engaging in a prank? I didn’t know what to think. Outside of some paranormal being, there was no other option than another human being walking in and flipping off the switch.
“Fuck.” I whispered the word to myself and I heard my phone going off again back in the room. Like before, I knew it wasn’t Dr. Miller’s specific ringtone. Someone else was calling, and I began to think maybe it was Carol and the girls attempting to rally everyone up for a mischievous bachelorette night to match whatever the guys were doing.
That makes sense, I told myself. That’s rational.
But turning off the lights in the bathroom? I asked myself internally. That didn’t feel like something a group of forty or fifty year old women would do. It felt more like a teenage prank.
I was at a crossroads, and I knew I had to do something. Leaving the bathroom was the first step.
Maybe it’s Dr. Miller. My mind switched gears to a new, probable scenario. Maybe he’s playing some fun, little cat-and-mouse sex game. Maybe he’s laying naked on the bed right now. That scenario didn’t sound all that bad to me.
I reached for the doorknob and yanked it open, only to be met with another room of darkness. I took a long, deep breath. A part of me wanted to shout, ‘hello’ again, but I didn’t. My eyes glanced at the door a few feet away. A glow from the hallway made a thin, yellow line at the bottom of the door. It resembled freedom - freedom of the unknown that lingered in the room. I could walk out that door, but I’d be walking out in my towel with people wondering what was wrong with me.
Would I go to the front desk and ask for Carol’s room half-naked? What would I do once out in the hallway? Almost immediately I decided it wasn’t practical, and so I glanced into the black abyss that had become my room.
Why do I want to say hello again? I guess those scary movies had some truth to them. All I wanted to do was fall into the scary movie cliche. I wanted to ask who was there and why. I wanted to confront some unknown in the darkness.
I jumped when my phone began to ring again. “Fuck.” I cursed at myself. Who was calling close to midnight? Multiple times? It had to be Carol. Or maybe even Dr. Miller from someone else’s phone. Right?
I took a deep breath and began to cross the room. My eyes darted in all directions until I got to the bed and clicked on the little lamp on the nightstand. It illuminated the area and I took a long look around. There was no one.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was James who had called several times.
Why is James calling me? I thought he might be drunk. Who else calls someone again and again at such a late hour? And it just so happened to be the guy who professed his feelings for me.
My fingers began to dart across the screen: Hey James. I’m close to calling it a night. So tired. What’s up? We can talk tomorrow.
I placed the phone back down and began to get myself dressed, still glancing around at my immediate surroundings.
When the phone went off as I pulled up a pair of sweatpants, I walked over, reaching for a sweatshirt and pulling it up and over my head. When I was fully dressed I grabbed the phone again.
Please call me when you can. You might be in danger. The message had me staring at the screen for an over-exaggerated moment.
Danger?
I took a breath and looked down at the screen when it went off again.
I think I figured out who the Lady Killer is.
The Lady Killer! Why was he following me to Vermont? I didn’t want anything to do with the stupid Lady Killer.
Can you tell me when I get back? I asked my friend. I’m not even near Woodbridge.
I chewed on my thumbnail for a moment and then looked down immediately when my phone went off again. And then I felt it - the thing that scared me more than anything. The thing I was scared off in my own home. The thing I was even scared of in Dr. Miller’s castle, most immensely when I was locked in the room with the glass ceiling. The thing I was scared of mere minutes before when the lights went off in the bathroom.
A hand clamped over my mouth from behind and I struggled to shift my eyes to see with little success.
Who are you? What do you want? Please don’t hurt me! Those were the phrases and questions that hung in my mind, peppering my thoughts in such a short time span. A warm palm covered my mouth and I couldn’t even turn to see who it was. They held me too tight.
“Put the phone down,” a male voice whispered.
I obeyed. I put the phone back down on the nightstand and the person held me tighter against them.
What the fuck is going on? Panic began to set in. I still held a faint thought to rationalize my surroundings. Something was going on. Something bigger than I realized.
I’m in trouble.

Ardor
Pairing: Chris Sturniolo X Female Reader💌
Synopsis: Chris feels like Y/N deserves more. And what better way to show this than to take her to her favorite place.🌻
Warnings⚠️: None at all. This shit is just soooo CUTEEEE😭
Song for the imagine: Nothing Even Matters-Lauryn Hill (feat. D’Angelo)
Ardor
Noun
Enthusiasm or passion
Lately Chris and his brothers have been super busy between creating content and touring, that I hadn’t really had a chance to spend time with my boyfriend. Even though the tour ended, and they were back in LA they immediately started filming for their channel.
Personally I didn’t mind this, yes I missed my boyfriend, but this was his job. He always still made time to text me, call me, send me flowers, take me on a few dates.
However this was bothering Chris as he felt like he hasn’t really been able to sit and spend time with me. No matter how many times I told him I didn’t care he still protested against it.
“Y/N no! I feel like I haven’t been here for you, and we haven’t really spent a good amount of time together” Chris would say as we sat on the couch with his arm slung over my shoulder
“Baby, we’re spending time together right now” I told him
“Yes, but also no. I want to be with you, and only you and just spend every second glued at the hip. I want to stare into your eyes and watch the stars, all that romantic movie shit” he told me kissing me on the forehead
“Chris you hate that corny shit” I said laughing
“I’m a changed man mama” he said laughing
“We should take a trip one of these days. Just go to another state and get away” I told him
“Yeah let’s say fuck it and go to like Vermont or some shit” he said back to me
“Oh my god Vermont is so pretty during this time of the year. With all the orange and yellow leaves” I said getting excited
That was two weeks ago, and within a day Chris was getting everything booked. The flight, the Airbnb, the activities. All while I had no idea. Chris had surprised me one day telling me where we were going.
And that brings it to now. We had just got to a small little house in Vermont surrounded by the beauty of the woods and the orange and yellow leaves falling to the ground.
“Baby this is the best thing you have ever done” I told him as we settled into the house
“Anything for my pretty lady” he told me coming over and grabbing me by the waist, pulling me in for a kiss
“Chris I love you so much” I told him kissing him back
“I love you way more pretty girl” he said kissing me on the forehead
We had got to Vermont at 2, and by the time we settled in we decided we wanted to walk to the nearest town and find something to eat.
There was a small town within a 10 minute walk. Chris and I headed out, and as we got into the town we truly enjoyed how tight knight the community was.
“Man I could live here forever” I said looking at every store we passed
“Could you really?” He asked looking over at me
“100%, it’s so small and pretty, and quiet” I told him
“Maybe we could make that happen in the future” he said kissing my hand that he was holding
We had stopped at a small mom and pop restaurant. We sat, and decided to look at the menu.
“Ouu everything looks good” Chris said
“Chris you’re such a picky eater you better ask for chicken tenders and fries” I told him laughing
“Hey! Not nice, but also not wrong” he said laughing
We were interrupted by the waitress
“Hi guys! How are you my names Ari, and I’ll be your server for today” she said smiling at us
“Could I get you started with drinks?” She asked us
“May I have a Dr. Pepper?” I asked her smiling up at her
“And may I have a pepsi” Chris asked, and I laughed. Him and his Pepsi addiction
After we got our drinks we ordered. And the whole time we were laughing at each other, and he was reminiscing about the tour, and how much he loved meeting his fans.
A little while later the waitress came back with our check
“I’ve never seen you guys around here” she said handing the check to Chris who had his hand out
“Oh we’re visiting!” I told her looking up at her
“Ahhh I see! Thats nice. Are you guys on a honeymoon” she asked
“Oh uh-“ but I was cut off by Chris
“Yeah something like that” he said handing her the check back with cash
“Oh that’s so nice! You guys should check out the little cafe across from here! They sell the best homemade cookie dough!” She said
“Thank you! We will” Chris said, “oh and keep the change” he told her
She thanked him and walked away. We walked over to the cafe and purchased some cookie dough, and decided to walk back hand in hand.
“I can’t thank you enough for doing this for me” I said looking over at Chris
“I’m glad you’re loving it pretty mama” he said kissing me on my temple
We had got back to the house, and decided to make some cookies
“CHRIS THATS TOO BIG” I yelled as he rolled a ginormous ball of a cookie
“HA! That’s what she said” he said pointing his finger at me
“Chris…you’re such a child” I told him snatching the huge cookie ball out of his hand and breaking it into smaller pieces
“But you love it” he responded looking over at me
“I really do” I said smirking at him
I put the cookies in the oven, and set a 12 minute timer
“Babe! They have a glass lanai” Chris said running back into the kitchen
“They do???” I said excited
“We have to eat our cookies out there” he said, and I agreed
After the cookies were done I took them out and put them on a plate, and we walked out to the lanai
“Holy shit this is beautiful” I said placing the plate down on the coffee table
“Isnt it” he said looking at me
“I’m a whore for glass lanais” I told him sitting down on the couch
“Interesting choice of words, but yes” he said laughing and also sitting down next to me
He grabbed two cookies, and then sat back, wrapping his arm over my shoulder, and pulling me in towards him
“Here you go my love” he said giving me a cookie
“Thank you” I responded taking the cookie from him and biting into it
“I would’ve never thought I’d be sitting here eating cookies with you, and madly in love” he said eating his cookie
“I would’ve never thought either. You were such a player” I said looking at him to see his reaction
“What?” He said with his jaw dropped
“God we used to hate each other so much” I told him finishing my cookie
“We really did. Never understood why. When you’re the best thing to have ever happened to me” he said also finishing his cookie
“I guess I was scared of falling for the “bad” guy” i told him
“And I was so scared of commitment” he told me
“Isn’t it strange? How people can change from strangers to friends, and then friends into lovers” I asked him
“It truly is, and I’m so glad we did. I love you so fucking much. Like I get emotional and shit” he said pretending to wipe a tear
“Chris, I love you so much. I have no idea what I’d do without you” I told him kissing his cheek
“I think I’d die without you” he said looking at me
“I think I’d die too” I said going in to kiss him
When we pulled away we stared into each others eyes just truly enjoying each others company
I leaned my head back and looked up at the night sky
“Look babe, the stars are shining so bright tonight” I told Chris while pointing at the sky
“Fuck this is so beautiful” he said looking up at the sky with me
“You got your wish. To watch the night sky with me” I told him
“And look how bright they’re shining for you” he said back
“I never want to leave this feeling” I responded back to him
“Me neither” he said
“Chris, I love you so much. This is a love I’ve never felt for anyone. My heart just bursts anytime I look at you, and when I’m with you all my problems are just a mere afterthought” I said to him still looking up at the night sky
“Y/N when I’m with you I never want to leave the moment. I want to hold on to you forever and always. I was so scared of loving someone because I felt I couldn’t get that love back, but you….you showed me new ways to be loved every single day” he said also still looking at the sky
“Out of my mind in love with you” I said back
“I hope in every lifetime you choose me” Chris said back
“Always Chris. I will always choose you” I said snuggling tighter to him
“Good because I will always choose you” he said kissing my head
“It was always you, and it will always be you” I said back to him
Chris let a tear slip out of his eye. Overwhelmed by the immense love he feels for Y/N, and that he’ll always have her no matter what. Chris loved Y/N with every fiber in his body, but most importantly Y/N loved Chris.
The End
I know this is pretty short, but I don’t like to drag out cute stories, but also Idk wtf to say, but I hope you enjoyed❤️
