compiled whatever this is (and I run out of tag space)
meh HoT gifs (3/?)
#alek gifs#ninjago#ninjago krux#ninjago acronix#hands of time#time twins#alternate title to this series is : stuff i noticed after watching this season 10 whole times#okay actually thats a lie. i realized this the 3rd time around#i think of acronix and how he barely makes any decisions for himself and i go crazy#ppl equate that with him feeling forced to do stuff.. uh hes always been a follower guys!!#cue him calling wu âmaster wuâ even after the twins betrayal. him liking machia bc shes âmeanâ and bossy#he has no issue with following orders lol. prepare for a long acronix rant one day#contexts -> gif 1 barely counts i just wanted to include him looking at krux. he does this a lot during that fight#gif 2 is before they kill blunck and raggmunk (idk how to spell their names still ... sorry)#gif 3 is before they were going to kill wu in the golden hour legacy short. which is canon !!#gif 4 is before they sent themselves into the temporal vortex#that one post that was like âare we still doing revenge? yeah? coolâ bc thats basically acronix#there is something fundamentally wrong with these two's brains but idk how to describe it#krux who literally lost his mind after losing his brother to the point he adopted an entire identity#âhe just needed to go undercover!!â counter point as soon as acronix came back he was unable to pretend to be saunders. he acted super weird#like when kai was in the museum he couldnt pretend to be this person he wasnt. acronix was back !!! so was he. krux was 100% going to kill#the smith sibs if maya and ray didnt comply. also.. canonly they knew him when they worked as teachers back in s3. he watched them grow up#and pretended all was well meanwhile their parents were being forced to work and slave away to build the iron doom. he is not normal#then you have acronix who thrives off of violence and is described as throwing himself into battle like a blunt object. has no regard#for himself as a person and just takes (almost) everything his brother says as gospel. s7 couldve done smthn really cool with how#the only thing the twins ever really disagreed on was technology. also ive went on a semirant about how krux's hatred for tech was misplaced#hatred for losing acronix. wanted to travel to the pre modern era? okay well whyd he pick 40 years ago specifically. also NOTE that they#went back after their past selves had lost. they wouldve faired better if they went and helped their past selves. also the reversal blade#had already fallen so when the twins went back in time there was two kruxes. he literally went back to when he had been all alone for the#for the first time. he went back to when his life was ruined and his brother was gone!! but he had nix with him this time . ughdhf

sometimes i am living in a world in which the 2020 uprising went better. watching videos of precincts courthouses and federal buildings burning and landlords swinging and CEOs jumping out of windows and people getting back to the work that matters without having managers to get in the way and there's never such a thing as a health insurance company again. set to "9 to 5"

It was his one free night in a long time, and his buds pulled him along for a drink. He had no real objections, for he was in a good mood and it'd get even better once he had a drink in him.
The group of men emerged from the damp, rainy night and dove into the smoke tainted air and usual bustle of the local dive. They ordered their drinks and made their way to the back where the booths were, a jumble of familiar faces greeting them on their way. Until-
Bucky saw a face he ought not to see in a place like this. "Excuse me a moment, fellas. I got somethin' to take care of."
Their group turned to him, confused. "Wha-" and looked in the direction he was already headed. "Well shit, good thing her daddy ain't come with us." The group shared a few nervous glances, then shrugged and chuckled. "Wouldn't want to be one of those boys right now."
-
"Well . . . " a voice chuckled loudly.
She could see the source approaching their table from her peripheral, his form vaguely illuminated by soft lamp light through the gloom. " . . . Aint this a sight?"
She knew that voice, she could hear the telltale grin that shaped it.
Catching onto the change in energy, the giggles and boisterous laughter of their small group died down. Tense glances exchanged between them, all eventually landing on the intruder, all except her own.
Commotion continued sounding around them, their table the only to emit an unusually low amount of noise. "Anyone wanna tell me whats goin' on here?" The voice asked.
Swallowing, she realised she'd been intently staring into a cadleflame. She belived that maybe she'd have a chance at going unnoticed if she sat still enough.
"I asked you a question, doll."
She winced. That was his nickname for her. Fuck. She tore her gaze from the candle, snapping it to her friend across the table and gave her a sidelong glance that meant 'trouble' to which her friend nodded in agreement.
The low light that made the place cosy just moments before now only existed to muddle her thoughts. But, it could work in her favour. She carefully pushed her drink behind her elbow, hoping it wasn't too late to hide, and her friend followed her lead.
She turned toward the man, a cheap grin plaster on her face. "Hey . . . Buck," she spoke slowly, as if it'd somehow make him more agreeable.
"Hey there, princess," he grinned. Hat on his head. "Wanna explain this to me?" Pointing lazily to their gathering.
She shrugged, attempting to act nonchalant. Because admitting your wrong would confirm it's wrong. "Nothin special, we were just leavin', in fact."
A scoff blew past her ear. "The hell we are." The lap she sat on stiffened beneath her, tapping his feetâonce, twiceâin a show of impatience, and rocking her body in the process. The man then whispered in her ear. "Who is this guy anyway?"
She inclined her head, nervous eyes avoiding the big cowboy that stood imposing at the end of their table, and murmured a quiet reply over her shoulder. "No one. . . in particular." A lie, of course. "Let's just go."
The cowboy chuckled. "You're not leavin' with him, you're leavin' with me." That drawl could make the most steeled stumaches jittery with butterflies. Her friend must've felt it too by they way she squirmed in her seat.
She had to screw her eyes shut in a moment of contemplation. Why'd he have to be here tonight? Why'd they have to go to a bar he frequented?
She looked back at her friend with panic in her eyes. Boy, were they in for it. She could think of nothing else then to simply ask nicely, hoping it'd appeal. "Please, just go."
He smirked, putting a hand on his hips and showing a stern but playful disposition. "Your daddy know 'bout this?" He tipped his hat in their direction.
She pinned him with her eyes, narrowing them with independent annoyance. "Im my own woman, B-"
'What's it to you?' The guy beneath cut her off.
Bucky switched his attention to the guy, and she could feel him shrink a little under Bucky's gaze. "Hell, no need for that tone! I was just sittin' with my buds over there." He pointed to the group of men Buck came with, no doubt to put some pressure on the poor guy. From the looks of it, they'd been listening in on our conversation, and now waved to her, idly laughing at the situation, ready to jump in at any moment.
She shyly waved back, a tight smile on her lips.
"See, I just saw your little group havin' a grand ol' time over here and wanted to join you," Bucky laughed. "And when I noticed that fine woman in your lap, I thought I'd have a chat with her." He disguised it well, but she could hear the anger beneath his humoured exterior.
"You two know each other?" The guy asked, I'll at ease.
"Well enough." Bucky took a moment to look her over, a scan for any harm. But his eyes stuck on the short skirt and thin shirt. If possible, he looked even more bothered. "Wouldn't you say, sweetheart?" He glanced at her, and she could see the danger that lurked in his eyes. It began to dawn on her more and more how knee deep in trouble she was.
She cleared her throat, a nervous blush creeping up her cheeks. "Mhm," she hummed. It felt like he could see through her.
The guy's hand slunk to the bare skin of her thigh, attempting to mark his territory when seamingly he'd decided his dislike of the situation. "Huh, what's with the hat anyway, you some kind of sheriff?" He asked. But cut Bucky off as he was about to answer. "Either way," he waved his hand dismissively. "She's fine where she is. She can make her own decisions." And just like that, he'd successfully stolen the point she'd been trying to make.
She shook her head. Stupid, stupid boy.
Bucky's face hardened, any sign of humour gone from him. "I assure you, I dont need a sheriff's badge to take her home, It's within my right." He braced his hand against the table, leaning closer to them.
Her uterus roiled at that. 'take her home'
"Now, get that hand off of her, boy." He snarled, annoyance and authority resounding in his voice, promising a solution to the mans cocky demeanor. "She ain't yours to touch."
"Why?" The guy asked. "She yours?" His hand slid higher, squeezing her thigh, challenging the much broader man.
She exhaled, releasing a frustrated hum in early defeat, he'd doomed them both.
The cowboys jaw tensed. Silently, but undoubtedly steaming, he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and pushed them above his elbows. The veins on his forearms pop from strain, knuckles turning white from his fists clenching. "Fella. . ." He began, calming his composure, then pointed two loose fingers at the girl in the mans lap. "Had she been mine, you'd be on the floor already. Now, that girl, ain't of drinkin' age, neither is she to be touched by a slimy bastard like yourself."
Fuck, so he did see the drink. She shook her head again, warning him. "Bucky. . ." A very bad attempt at dissuading him from doing whatever he was about to do. She could almosy feel the guy beneath her sink into the booth they were sitting in. Perhaps he had some sense after all.
Her friend grabbed her arm, loosely yanking on it as her anxious eyes flickered between the men in conflict. She herself sitting in the lap of the guy's friend, who was preparing to step in if necessary. "We should go before this gets ugly," her friend whispered.
"Respectfully, ma'am, she ain't going nowhere without me." The cowboy opposed, directing his attention to her friend.
No, no, no no. . . Dread filled her, he'd drive her straight home to her parents.
Bucky's eyes fell back on the guy, now shrunken and small under his gaze. "So. . . Stand up, 'n leave, boy," he spoke with the authority of a sheriff but stood with the confidence of an outlaw. "There's no need for altercations, I was enjoyin' my night. N' I don't wish that to change-"
"I'll call on the bouncer," the guy shot out, his face probably as pale as his overly white and fragile shirt, pointing to a man behind the cowboy. Her eyes followed the steps down from the seating area, and through the dimly lit dive where a big man stood posted by the door. The guy beneath her then glanced at his friend across from them, both extending curt nods to one another.
She wanted to wretch, he was acting a coward and standing up to Bucky with the threat of enlisting two other men to his side. She sighed loudly, making a point for him to hear as she eyed her friend. "Well, I sure know how to pick em'." And her friend, inspite of the commotion they found themselves in, covered her mouth in snicker.
Bucky narrowed his eyes in a second of silent fury, then answered with a laugh, not missing a beat. "You mean that bouncer?" He asked and turned around, calling a greeting to the bouncer, who in turn tipped his hat with a smile. The type of gesture that indicated a longstanding friendship. "We're well aquainted," Bucky grinned. "But im sure he'd love to sort this situation out."
If they had any sense at all, the two men would leave with what little dignity they had left and realise that they were already outnumbered inspite of being 2 to 2.
"Leave, girls," the guy easily dismissed them.
She gave him a pointed look, flashed her eyebrows, and jerked her head to the side in a 'you had it coming' motion, and then grabbed her friend's hand.
"Asshole," she sighed and steered them out of the booth, taking the cider in her other hand. Silly as she was, she thought she could simply leave, perhaps just slip by Bucky. But no, his strong hand grabbed her bicep as she passed by, and set his blues deep into her own. "Wait by the truck, I'll drive ya' home." He said, looking between the two girls.
"Fine . . . " She sighed.
"N' dont even think of running, cause I'll catch ya'," he warned, and she rolled her eyes inspite of the burning that settled in her core.
She tried to yank herself free, but he didn't let go. "What? You wanna hear a 'yes sir'?" She dared the words, teasing, as nervousity built in her gut.
His eyes searched hers, a slow grin spreading over his lips as he leaned closer, bending down to whisper in hear ear. "Dont get cocky with me, girl." And his hand began sliding downward, making her shiver, leaving goosebumps in the wake of his touch.
She swallowed, that tone, the hat? God. Her uterus purred, and in a sudden surge on confidence, she answered. "No, sir."
He grabbed the glass bottle from her hand and grinned, taking a sip. "Good, girl. Now go." And pointed to the door.
Would it be wrong to say she started salivating? His words, together with his lips making contact with the same surface she had? There was something about it, something that made her . . . Pulse.
Bucky whistled and his friendâthe bouncerâcame bounding up the steps, him along with the group of dad's and bucky's friends only a few steps behind.
The bouncer tipped his hat to her and her friend in passing, a smirk on his lips. Nice to know there was still some gentlemen in the world.
She smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He was quite handsome too.
"Dont even think 'bout it," Bucky warned.
She rolled her eyes, and then they were finally on their way out, meeting Bucky's group of friends on the way, all nodding and greeting her. "Tell your daddy we missed him tonight." One said, and they all chuckled.
The girls hurried off, giggling. But anxiety lingered in the depths of her chest. Those men were rogue witnesses in all of this.
As she held the door open, voices raised behind them. She could see the crowd turning to look in Buckys direction, anf she herself followed their gazes. And found them just in time to see Bucky's knuckles collide with the jaw of the guy she'd spent her night on, sending him sprawling.
-
Plunging into the deep night, the cold swept over them. "He's hot, ain't he?"
She didn't want to answer, or simply didn't want to admit it and just gave her friend a look of understanding.
"God, I was ready to pounce on him the second he called me ma'am."
The girl understood that too.
-
After about ten minutes wait, Bucky emerged from the bar. Unscathed, apart form bloody knuckles and dark cloud around his head. Before even saying a thing, he'd already removed his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. "I only got one of them. Apologies, ma'am," he told her friend and opened the truck door for them both. "The truck'll warm you up."
"Thats ok, thank you," her friend answered, and the girls shared a knowing look. Their thoughts connecting in fiendish collectivity.
"Alright, get in. We'd better get goin'."
-
The ride was relatively quiet. We knew better than to anger him further. Anxiety was growing within her, though, she didnt wanna know what would happen when her friend was let off.
"Text me ok? I'll se ya' later." Her friend said, eyeing Bucky. She leaned her head through the open window of the truck. "But- let me know how that goes," she whispered. "And good luck." She raised her eyebrows with a smirk on her lips.
The girl rolled her yes. "Sure will." And with one last wave, they were off.
-
When there were only the two of them, they could say whatever they wanted with confidence. But so far, there'd only been a few sighs and breaths of shared irritation. Neither of them were particularly pleased with the situation.
But she wanted to be the first to speak. "I'll be 21 in a few days, Buck."
"Doesn't mean you have good judgement."
She bristled. "I'm not a little girl anymore!"
" 'Course not, I can tell by the way you dress. That what a grown woman look like to you?" He nodded to her body, barely covered apart from his thick jacket over her torso.
She pulled it closer around herself. "Like what exactly? What do I look like to you? A slut, a hooker?" Her face stung from embaressment. She felt like a child again, being berated for something she wasn't able to puzzle together by herself.
He clicked his tongue, jerking his head to the side. His patience was running thin. "Dont twist my words, doll. I'm callin you careless."
"That dont matter comin' from you, you're not my daddy." She knew the comment would get a rise out of him, because she knew he'd ment no ill intent, and she knew he cared for her. But she was mad, and so was he.
"No, n' you should thank fucking god he wasn't there to bust you. I was the better option, I can promise you that."
She exhaled a frustrated breath, turning her attention toward the windshield. Watching droplets of water paving their way over the condensation covered glass. "You weren't the only one to bust me, though, were you?" She spoke lowly, feeling like a coward for even asking. "The boys gonna say something?"
He gripped the steering wheel harder, his roughed up knuckles tearing. "I told em' I'd take care of it." It must've stung, but he took no notice. Other things pestered his mind.
Worry mixed in with all other emotions as her gaze drifted to his hands, and her mind immidetly moved into recovery mode. "So what's that mean, you gonna tattle on me now?"
He looked over at her, brows furrowed right beneath the rim of his hat. He couldnt begin to understand her. "That all you care about?"
"Right now? Well, yeah. I dont want a scolding."
"All grown and still daddy's little girl, worried about his opinions."
"And if I say yes, what then, girl?
"I dunno, m' gonna have to convince you not to."
"Like you convinced that guy to buy you beer, huh? What'd you do, flirt with him? Give him a handjob, suck him off? What did I miss before catching you?"
Her mouth hung open in disbelief. "You fucking asshole!" She shook from anger, she never expected words like that to be thrown at her. Especially not by him. But she'd get him back, there was no reason behind her actions now. "Maybe I would've, I even bet it would've worked if I'd asked you. Right? You would've just loved having your friends pretty daughter gettin' you off, huh!" She half shouted the last sentence, her chest heaving with effort and fury.
"That's enough." His tone was unforgiving, shooting a sense of reality back into her.
"I'll shut up if you answer the god damned question Buck, would it have worked?"
But Bucky didn't answer, his jaw clenched and unclenched, biting back his words. If she thought the silence had been bad before? It was deafening now.
After calming down again, her words hit her like a freight train. She always had a friend in Buck, but now she wasn't sure. The words that'd been thrown back and forth had set them off balance, their entire relationship was on unsteady ground. Something had been rewritten in the rules between them.
There'd always been attraction, but that wasn't something they ever spoke of. They'd always been close, good friends even. But now, something had changed. And it made her feel sick. She'd had an ally in him, but now, she wasn't so certain.
After a long whole of shutting her mouth out of stubbornness, the fate of her father finding out was worse, so she broke. "Please don't bring me home, Buck. Dad'll throw a fit." She tried to smile, to soften her voice. But it felt wrong.
After a moments uncertainty on her part, and strained breathing on his, he spoke. "Im not makin' the detour, you can sleep at mine, that was always the plan anyway." He admitted, sounding utterly tired.
And now she felt extremely guilty, eyes studying him as he gripped the steering wheel harder. Her gaze drifted over his body, his face, his hands. Stopping on the roughed up and bloody knuckles. He'd beaten that guy for her. Out of jealousy, or simply because he was protective?
She turned away, her chest feeling hollow and followed the birches and sprucetress as they flashed by the truck. Their colors and textures blending together as they met the dark consistent sky above them.
Bucky's house was dark, he only lit a few tablelamps when they arrived. It was better that way, she recognized herself here, within the gloom and the safety of his home. It was second to her own.
"I'll get your something more comfortable," he said, his eyes avoiding her clothes, her body as a whole and disappeared into his bedroom.
Was it because he thought they didn't fit her, or the opposite? Had he been mad at himself for being attracted to her?
She nodded slowly, calling out to him, "we should do something about that hand of yours."
"It's fine, I'm fine." He said, re-emerging, meeting her eyes. "Here," he handed here a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, most likely too big for her. "I'll take the couch, n' you can take my bed."
She nodded again, and headed into the bathroom.
Buckys t-shirt was longer on her than the skirt she'd worn, so she opted out of the shorts. Luckily findig a roll of gauze in the bathroom cabinet.
She emerged from the bathroom, a pair of panties and the oversized t-shirt the only things on her body. "You want something to-" Bucky paused as she rounded the corner, and suddenly she herself stopped shortâcaught off guard.
Bucky stared at her, and whatever he'd been about to say was lost the second he looked up. Bucky cleared his throat, and with the weight of a 15 year long friendship on his shoulders, his eyes stayed glued to hers.
Inwardly, she smiled and hoped the lowly lit livingroom couldn't reveal the blush on her cheeks. "Found some gauze," she held the roll up, indirectly asking for permission to bandage him.
He opened his mouth to decline, she could even see his head begin to shake in dismissal.
But she cut in before he had the chance. "Just let me help, you can be mad and still let me help."
His eyes hardened, but hesitantly, he nodded all the same. "Im fine, doll."
She raised her brows with skepticism and made her way toward him, the fabric of buckys shirt doing its best at showcasing her breats.
Bucky clenched his fist in an attempt to control himself, he winced, the wounds on his knuckles re-opening.
"Yeah," she scoffed. "Sure seems fine to me." And placed herself infront of him. From his position on the couch, he had to look up at her. At that, a flicker of heat blazed in her core. Oh, those eyes. His big, pleading eyes, all sad and hurt. Did he want her gone or want her in some other way?
She kneeled, settling between his thighs and grabbed his hand. "You don't got to be so stubborn all the time. . . Just wanna help you." She wrapped his hand carefully, enjoying every second of his corse skin over hers. Once done, he tried flexing his hand, and winced again. He still hurt, that much was clear, but was too proud to admit it. "Want me to kiss it better?" She joked, hoping it would lighten the mood. But he did that thing again, where he said nothing, and instead clenched his jaw, as if holding back a yes. So she took her chance.
Keeping their eyes locked, she brought his wrapped knuckles to her lips, and kissed them through the bandage once, then moving further up to kiss the softer skin of the back of his hand. Again, his eyes were pleading, and he moved the hand to cup her cheek, stroking her cheekbone with his thumb. She took it as encouragement and kissed his palm, his wrist, his forearm. She stood up on her knees, kissing his bicep and reached for his shirt to pull him closer. She cupped his face and brought him inches from her own, nuzzling her nose against his.
Finally, when her lips reached for his, he pulled away. "Stop, stop," he nudged his forehead against hers. "We can't," he moved his lips away, cheek to cheek, he kissed the soft spot in front of her ear. "We can't."
"Cant, or wont?" She asked dully.
Those pleading eyes were back, begging her not to make him answer that question. She nodded absentmindedly, pulled into her thoughts. She stood up and moved away from him, his hand sliding down her arm and locking around her wrist, stopping her. "Dont leave."
"I'm comin' back."
After a few minutes of bustling in the kitchen, she returned to him. Sidling up next to him on the couch, her curled up legs lulling into his lap as she handed him a whiskey glass, then cradled her own. He whispered a thank you, looking into her eyes, and she whispered a you're welcome, looking into his. Then they sat like that for a while, quiet, unmoving. Bucky's hands finding their home on her legs, glas in one hand and her knee in the other. Somehow, this wasn't crossing a line for them, this was their normal, this was something not even her family questioned, this was them.
"Im sorry, doll." he said finally. "I never meant to imply-"
"It's ok, Buck." He opened his mouth to speak again, but she stopped him. "Really, It's fine. I'd rather not dwell on it."
Another moments silence passed between them, it was uncomfortable, but the unsaid lingered in the air like a thick wall between them, and hung over them with the threat of smothering. "We need to talk about us."
"I didn't like the way he was touchin' you," he said, choosing the topic before she had a chance at it. If he had to approach them, he would do it indirectly. "It didn't look like you were enjoyin' it."
Her eyebrows raised, "You would've punched him even if I were enjoying it." She commented sourley.
He squeezed her knee, gently rubbing circles into the skin beside. "He acted like he owned you," He turned his unscathed hand upside down, brushing his knuckles up and down her sensitive skin.
It all went straight to her head, veins throbbed with heat she didn't know she could feel. All brought out by a single touch of his hand.
But she wouldn't let off. "And what do you 'spouse beating him for it is?"
He stayed silent, his hand turned again, this time to grab her soft flesh, squeezing it with purpose. Much like the guy had done, but this felt different. This felt good, real good.
She swallowed, closing her eyes to focus on the words she needed to say. "What made you think you had the right? If not that I already belonged toâ" she stopped, and their eyes met in a quick glance.
He let out a frustrated sigh. "I was only protectin' you." He defended, but it didn't quite sound like he believed the words himself. Nor did she. But if he wasn't ready to see it as it was, she wouldn't pressure him.
Instead, she laid her head on his shoulder. "It shouldn't be this hard."
He shook his head, the words seemingly struck a cord within him. For he sat insilence, pondering, a long while. "I would've said no, you know. And it would've killed me." She looked at him strangely, forgetting what he was referring to for a moment. "I would've said yes, if you hadn't felt forced to it, like it was a last resort to keep your secret."
Oh. . . "Had I wanted it, you'd said yes?" She stared unbelieving into the dark space infront of them.
"Nothin' could stand in my way." He slid his hand further up her thigh, fingers exploring the skin just beneath the hem of his/her shirt.
She sat up straight to look at him properly, she couldn't tell if he was serious. "You want me?"
"More than anything," his voice was breathless, barely a whisper. His index and long finger reaching further up, exploring more than he'd ever dared. "Cant even explain how many times I imagined you gettin' me off after you said it. How much I hated the thought, the sight of you with that guy, his hands all on you."
A pang of need shot through her. She put her whiskey down, and braced her hands against his chest. "But why tell me now, whats changed? Whats changed in this last hour?" His fingers rubbed the skin of her hips beneath her panties, sending shivers running over her body, shivers she'd only previously dreamed he'd be the cause of.
"You're right, it shouldn't be this hard. I'm makin' it too hard." His hand slid to her waist, still invisible to him, but no longer untouchable. Magnetically, they were pulled together, faces inching closer and closer to oneanother.
"And what about daddy?" It was becoming hard to focus, she wouldn't stop him for the world. Bow, they were close enough to feel the dampness of their breaths.
His hand continued exploring farthur up, fingertips finally reaching the soft, plush flesh below her breast. "Your daddy ain't here, is he?"
She began shaking her head in disbelief, lips brushing against eachother. "Dont promise something if you can't follow through."
His hand stopped, "I can, please," he begged, waiting for her go-ahead. "I can. . ."
His words vibrated against her skin, electrifying her body. "Fuck," she moaned, he's right there. Right, there, infront of her, for her. "Then do, please do, Buck."
And just like that, both hands were beneath her shirt, pulling her into his lips and squeezing her breasts.
Breathless moans filled the silent air, they tore at eachother greedily. Pulling and pushing eachothers bodies, fighting to get Bucky free of his clothes.
Snaking one arm behind her back, he guided her down onto cushions and placed himself above her. Still clothed by jeans, he rolled his hips against her core, grinding the rough fabric against her barely clothed clit. This, is what she had been craving. The exact static friction, the heat and movement between their bodies producing all the pleasure she needed. She moaned heavily, beacause still, she wanted more. Pulling her legs up and her panties off, she wordlessly signaled for him to do the rest.
With a groan, Bucky dove into her neck, kissing and sucking, all the while he unzipped his jeans and pulled them off together with his boxers. No time was wasted, he lined his member up with her core within a second, prodding and teasing at the opening. "Please, please, please." She sounded desperate, but fuck, she was. And feeling it was worse then sounding it.
"Yes ma'am." He said, and thrusted into her. A gasp escaped them in unisome. With the arm still around her waist, he pulled her into his hips, his body straining as he delved deeper inside her than she thought possible.
"Yes. . ." She whined. "More."
He kissed his way up her throat, their hips freed and collided into eachother with steady, strong thrusts, pushing her deeper into the cushions with every rut. Nothing could compare, he was unparalleled. Bucky, despite what he was already achieving, kissed his way up her neck, unfaltering in his duty.
Her hands found his face, cupping it and bringing him back to her, and their lips met again. "Taste so sweet," he murmured, sinking his tongue into her. The salt of her skin mixing with her saliva. "Want all of you."
She smiled against him. "Harder."
He did as ordered, keeping his pace and adding pressure. "Yeah," he moaned. "Being so good for me, girl." And pulled her deeper onto his member. Her breaths grew rapid and shallow, fingers clawing at his back as she had nowhere to go, all pleasure directed straight into her. "Close, so fucking close," she cried.
"Good," he chuckled breathely against her skin, and that was a she needed. Her back arched in euphoria, and stars stung her eyelids, speckling the darkness. "Good job, sweetheart. Just breathe," he continued thrusting into her, softly, easing her through the orgasm. "Good girl. Well done. . ." He whispered, kissing her jaw. The stars began fading and she regained her senses, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Beautiful, girl." He moaned, still rutting into her, chasing his own high while wiping the tears from her face. Her body began tingling, on the vege of breaking down.
"Dont know how much more I can take, Buck." She kissed his cheek, focusing on the skill of his lips.
"Almost there, almost. . ." he moaned, increasing his pace. The slickness of her core created a sickening sound together with the slapping of their skin. It was heavenly, but she could feel the pressure building within her again.
"Mmmh, m' gonna cum again, please buck, dont stop."
He didn't, he continued, intent on coming together with her. He bit into her lip, causing her to yelp and yield the hold on his face and licked a trail down her chest and breast, then taking it into his mouth. Sucking and slurping in an insane rythm with the slapping. "Yes, yes! Fuck, Bucky." she called out, and Bucky pulled out of her.
Coming only a second after, his seed spilling over her abdomen. "I love you, I love you." He moaned with faltering breaths, bracing himself on his forearms on either side of her, kissing every part of skin that he could reach.
Holy shit? "I love you too." She smiled lazily, drunk off of her two consequent orgasms. Laying her hand on her stumache, she felt his sticky substance coat her fingers.
His eyebrows knit together in guilt. "Sorry 'bout that sweetheart, I'll get a towel-"
She grabbed his bicep and shook her head, locking her eyes onto his as she brought the fingers to her lips and licked them off, popping them in her mouth to suck them clean.
Bucky stared, unable to form words.
"Cat got your tongue, cowboy?" She asked, a coy smile on her glistenting lips.
"Fuck," he awed breathlessly. "I just love you." He whispered, lowering himself onto her once again, this time striking his tongue into her core.

âWhy am I here?â Nanami thinks out loud, glaring pointedly around the unlit dive bar. Itâs unglamorous, walls garbed in eclectic music paraphernalia, references that go right past him. Flurries of reds and yellows and oranges in the decor cut brightly, shining through the dim atmosphere. Seriously, would it kill them to switch a light on? It bustles with life; university kids, Nanami is subjected to think based on the⊠unique fashion sense present in the room. Street wear, torn jeans, crop tops way too short to be considered shirts anymore. He cringes, feeling entirely too dated to be hanging amongst this kind of crowd. His leg bounces restlessly under the ledge of the bar, and he turns to look at you. âWhy are we here?â
Youâre smilingâactually smilingâflagging down the bartender. âYou knew we were coming to a bar,â you cut yourself short, holding up a single finger to him whilst you relayed your order to the older gentleman behind the bar. A rum and coke, you asked politely before glancing toward Nanami. It took a moment for him to realize what that look meant.Â
âIâll have scotch, neat. Thanks.â
âAs I was saying,â you steal back his attention, âI made it clear we were coming to a bar. Whatâs the problem?â
There was a hint of an attitude catching at your words, and Nanami felt his brow twitch in frustration. âYou failed to tell me that weâd be inâŠâ He grimaces, peeking back over his shoulder to the sea of youthful patrons slinging over nearly every stool and booth. â . . . Mixed company.â God awful pop music fizzles through the speakers, twisting and crackling with pops of static; fuel to the billowing flames of Nanamiâs overstimulation. âI was expecting something a bit more sophisticated.â
âI can tell,â youâre laughing as you give him a once over, and he gets a shiver of Deja Vu from the coffee shop where you pulled the same exact move. You tweeze at the expensive cotton button down, plucking the bunched fabric of a sleeve at the crease of his elbow. âThought we said no more fancy clothes?â
Tonight he threw together a plain white shirt and a pair of slim fit khaki pants; the quintessential dad outfit, sure, but fancy? Nanami didnât think so. âIâm dressed down.â
âNixing the suit jacket and tie didnât do much. You still look stiff, man.â Two glasses are brought over, one placed before either of you respectively. Nanami stares down into the glass, a foggy, brown abyss. His alcohol looks watered down and piss cheap. âYou stick out, itâs kind of embarrassing.â
âOh please, youâre too kind.â Nanami rolls his eyes, hunching over the bar and downing a swig from the scotch. Yeah, It was definitely watered down. Fuck this place.Â
Your hand slaps his back. âSo dramatic. I was kidding Nanami, you look fine.â A cheeky laugh reaches his ears before you tack on, âvery handsome.âÂ
Now he knows youâre messing with him.Â
You grin into your cup. âStop sulking. Itâs not so bad here.â Nanami would beg to differ. A debate that isnât worth having because frankly, itâs a Saturday night and he doesnât have nearly enough energy to draft a list of all the cons that this joint has to offer. âWe got booze,â you raise your glass. âBooze makes everything better.â
His forehead wrinkles. âThatâs a horrible mindset to have, Y/n.â
Your boisterous laugh outweighs the ambient chatter, and you take a hearty gulp. Nanami follows suit, albeit a bit awkwardly, tipping more spirits down his throat. You look surprisingly comfortable, slinking against the bar counter with a hazy smile that welcomes strangers in. This time, you werenât wearing a flowery dress; instead, a low cut shirt and jeans, both equal parts dark and tight. The neckline plummeted deep, exposing slivers of your bra cups and entirely too much cleavage. By God, was his self restraint something to write home about.Â
It was easy to fall into comfortable conversation. All in all, Nanami enjoys talking to you now, even if once upon a time the thought of engaging with you evoked such dread that heâd outwardly avoid your presence around the office. Passing along orders specifically meant for you to other colleagues and entrusting them to deliver the message, lengthening the conveyor belt of relation simply because you got him in a tizzy. Back then, all Nanami could see when he looked at you was that cowardly girl in the bathroom with smeared lipstick and a trembling pout. How shameful, he thinks, that it took him this long to see past that terrible first impression.Â
âSo there I was, balancing ten cups of coffee, shaking like a little bitch,â you laughed as you shared an anecdote from an internship in your university years. Nanami listened intently, head propped up on his fist as he watched your theatrics. Your cheeks flushed with the evidence of alcohol, eyes lidded, smile wobbly. Nanami was feeling the edge of his buzz coming on too, an amazing revelation considering the diluted alcohol this place served. âAnd Iâm walking up ten flights of stairsââ
âTen flights?â He gawks, feeling looser and matching you with melodrama. âWhat, did your office not have an elevator?â
You laughed. âIt was out of order.â
âYour luck astounds me.â
You flip him off playfully. âI finally get to the last stair and my heel catches on the floor and I eat total shit in front of the entire room!â Nanami canât stop his own tittering, cupping a palm over his grin. âSpilled the coffee everywhere, twisted my ankle, too. I probably laid in that puddle for ten minutes.â
âThatâs why you donât wear high heels anymore?â
Thereâs a grimace on your face when you nod, topping off the rest of your glass. âMm.â
Nanami swaps his own story, of a time when he was in his third year of college and his work laptop got stolen. âI think I cried,â and you guffawed at his misery. âIâm serious, I really think I cried. Alone, on the floor of my dormitory. It was finals week, and I had written my dissertation on that laptop.â
âSo what did you do?â
âI pulled an all-nighter in the library on campus and rewrote my entire thesis.â Merely remembering that chaotically stressful night had Nanami huffing a sigh of anguish and dragging an exasperated hand down his face.Â
The bartender slides you another drink. Gosh, he was lagging behind. âI wouldâve dropped out.â You spoke over the rim of the glass.
âTrust me, I was really close.â Nanamiâs eyes narrow, gaging the swell of your throat as you knock back a few swigs. âHow many have you had?âÂ
âA few.â Your answer was blunt, and from that Nanami could gather that his question had rendered you the slightest bit irritated. He understood why; you were a grown woman, who was he to regulate how many rounds you decide to have? But even with this understanding, the man couldnât shake his concern. âMore than you, old timer. Keep up.â
He shakes his head, scratching at his cheek. âThis is my last for the night.â Any more, and Nanami would wake up the next morning nauseous with a pounding headache. He took precautions to avoid breaching his limits, he really disliked that hungover feeling.Â
You gawk at the declaration. âHow lame.â Then you hiccup.
âYou can call me lame now, but which one of us will wake up tomorrow not in pain?â
You wave a hand through the air, brushing off his very astute observation. âHush, thatâs for future me to deal with. Present me doesnât have a care in the world.â
Youâre immature, but itâs amusing, so he doesnât offer any rebuttals. The way you are so insistent on living in the moment is fascinating, almost inspiring even. Nanami feels as though heâs ever crushed by the impending future, always so concerned with what the next day, next week, next month, next year brings. He thinks ahead to a fault, and because of that, forgets to enjoy the little things. But you always stop and smell the roses. Itâs admirable.Â
âBartender!â You wag a finger in the air, slamming down your empty glass. Fiending for yet another drink.Â
Okay, maybe your ability to live in the now is to a fault as well. Nanami holds a hand up, signaling the barkeep to halt. âSorry,â he apologizes politely, âsheâs all good for now, thanks.â Ainât that the truth. Your face looked tacky with sweat, pupils scarily dilated. Your words come out dimly slurred, and your gestures uncoordinated. As your business associate, he feels obligated to intervene at this point.
A hand slaps his down. Your hand. âHey what gives?â Youâre upset with him. âJust because youâre done doesnât mean I am.â
âYouâre three sips away from throwing up on yourself,â Nanami deadpans, unphased by your drunken outburst. Unbeknownst to the two of you, another patron had taken up the stool opposite of you. To be expected; the bar was decently crowded, that being said neither of you paid much mind to the man. He was younger than Nanami for sure, his hair unkempt and shaggy, swept back by sweat and something that looked like grease. He was smiling, probably on some brand of dope that Nanami was unfamiliar with. The stranger interrupts, leaning over with his elbow planted on the countertop.Â
âYou her father or some shit?â He speaks without any warning, catching both you and Nanamiâs attention.Â
Father? Nanami internally grimaces, jaw tightening. Just how old does he think I am? Trying not to be offended by the inquiry, he corrects the man. âJust a concerned friend, thatâs all.â You have yet to speak, still a tad caught off guard by the unexpected company.Â
The strangerâs grin widens, reaching shit-eating status. âThen hop the fuck off her case, man.â He shoots a pair of lidded, droopy eyes toward you, eyebrows jumping in a manner that is entirely too suggestive for Nanamiâs liking. âIf the lady wants another drink, then let her have another drink.â
Nanami feels the awkward tension thicken the air between this interaction. For all the shit you talked about getting hit on in bars, he would have never expected you to act so timid when put in a position like this. Nanami fully expected you to side with the latter party, to order another round of vodka-whatever and then leave with your newfound knight in shining armor. What actually happened: âNo, er, my friend might be right actually,â followed by an incredibly strained chuckle. Your shoulders stiffen, Nanami can practically feel the way you harden up beside him. âI should probably take it easy.â
The man feigns grief. âAw, câmon. You seemed so eager before. Let me buy you another?â
âShe just saidââ
âI was talking to her, not you.â
Nanami was utterly shocked by the sheer gall this young man possessed. Was he trying to intimidate him? It was painfully ineffective. âI donât want one,â you said with a little more oomph this time, fiercely hanging on the urge to defend Nanami. It made him feel strangely prideful.Â
The strangerâs smile never retreated, but something sinister glinted in the ocean of his dark eyes. He gave a sniff, brushing the point of his nose with the pad of his thumb before hurling yet another unwanted flirtation your way. âBaby, hey, whatâs one more drink? I saw you from across the room, Iâve been dyinâ to chat you up.â Under the table, his hand slips into your personal space. Nanami sees it unfold in his peripherals; the pallor hand slithering over your lap, grabbing a handful of your denim-clad thigh. You yelped in surprise, wincing. Nanami saw it all. Â
He was not a violent man. In fact, he could count the number of times heâs thrown a punch in his life on one hand. Physical fights were pointless, a waste of time and energy because Nanami wholeheartedly believed that altercations were best settled with words. But the moment your nervous squeak found his ears, Nanami couldnât control the urge to beat this guyâs face in. So thatâs what he did; sliding out of his seat to round you and pull the stranger off his stool by the collar of his faux leather jacket. The material felt cheap and mingy, not something Nanami would ever be caught dead wearing. Without so much as a second thought, Nanami sends a heavy fist barreling into the meat of his cheek. One good, solid punch, and the sinewy gentleman was tumbling to the ground, walking the thin line between consciousness. âShitâŠâ Nanami breathes, chest heaving with barely concealed rage, knuckles throbbing to the beat of his racing heart. The bar went dead, too many pairs of eyes locked onto him to count, but the only ones he could care about were yours.Â
You looked at Nanami with such astonishment, with your eyes pried wide as dinner plates and your mouth ajar. He was ready for you to yell at him, to curse him for embarrassing you in a pub you frequented, but nothing came. Well, almost nothing.Â
âSecurity!â The bartender hollered thick and deep, slapping a damp rag onto the counter with a wet plap.Â
âShit!â Nanami repeated, cuffing a hand around the thinnest part of your wrist, tugging you into his side as you both raced toward the exit. âLetâs go.â
Youâre gurgling and grumbling, latching onto the material of his shirt as little bouts of complaining bubbled past your lips. âNot so fast!â and âOh God, my stomachâ and âI donât feel good.â Nanami had been reduced to your crutch at this point; he bore the entirety of your weight without batting an eye because your own legs were too wobbly to do it yourself.Â
âI know,â he murmured, maneuvering through the crowd. âHold it together, weâre almost there.â
The first step outside felt like entering Heaven. Nanami basked in the cleanliness of the chilly night air, gulping down a big breath of fresh oxygen that hadnât been tainted by marijuana smoke. But suddenly, youâre detaching yourself from his hip and heâs bewildered by your sudden need for proximity. âY/nââ
He turns to face you, only to be met with the crown of your head. Doubled over at the waist, hands on the lower fraction of your thighs, you vomit onto the dewy pavement⊠and his shoes. Nanamiâs cursing once more, drawing closer despite how much you obviously donât want him to. âAlright,â he coos in exasperation, gathering your hair into a bundle and holding it away from the splash zone. âItâs alright, get it out.â
âYouâre⊠Did I just puke on y-your feet?â Your voice is croaky, something of a mixture of embarrassment and illness. You canât even look at him.Â
âStand up,â Nanami tells you. Heâs unbending you, straightening your body upright with a hand pressing your back in from his bowed shape. âCan you look at me?â
You pout, childlike. âNo.â Youâre looking at his shoes, the toes slick with remnants of your stomach acid.Â
âTheyâre just shoes, I have a million pairs.â His head cocks to a tilt. âWould you look at me, please?â
Youâre sighing, but looking up to him nonetheless. Gazing up with big, glossy eyes and wet lashes that clumped together through tears. Eyeliner diluted and cradling your undereyes in a dark embrace. You wipe your mouth with the back of a palm, smearing shimmery gloss out of the confines of your lip line. Itâs all so nauseatingly familiar, this pitiful display. Nanami decides he hates seeing you like this.Â
âIâm sorry,â you chirp.Â
âDonât apologize.âÂ
âIâll pay for them.â
Nanami puts a hand on your shoulder when he notices the slant in your posture. âCut it out, thatâs entirely unnecessary.â He looks around the parking lot, full of vehicles. They catch the glint from the yellowish street lamps. âDid you drive here?â He thinks itâs unlikely, seeing as you let yourself fall under such intoxication. You werenât so irresponsible; if you drove here, you wouldâve made sure youâd be able to drive home too, like he did.Â
Youâre shaking your head. âCaught a train.â
Nanami nods, pleased. âGood. Thatâs good.â With all the grace and gentleness in the world, the man loops your limp arm back around his nape, securing you against his oblique with a sturdy arm snaked around your waist. Everything is ginger, lest he upset your stomach again. âAre you good to walk?â
âYeah, I think Iâm alright.â
âThen let me take you to my car.â
That pulls a frown from you. âYou donât needâneed to drive me there, Nanaâ. The stationââ Hiccup âItâs just down the road.â
The blonde glowers. âYou can barely stand on your own, public transportation is out of the question.â Like Hell heâs going to let an obviously inebriated, attractive young woman such as yourself ride the subway alone. Please, donât make him laugh. âIâm driving you home.â
âItâs out of your way.â
âI donât care.â
Itâs a slow race, but Nanami eventually hauls you to his car parked at the entrance of the lot. A midnight shade Maserati; he doesnât miss the way you gawk at his luxurious ride. âIf I had a car like this, Iâd never leave it.â He laughs. You smack his bicep. âIâm not kidding, Iâd sleep in this thing. Sheâs gorgeous.â
âShe says thank you,â he huffs his response. Nanami leans you up against the side of his car, pinning you between its door and his thigh while he opens the passenger door. âWatch your head.â His hand curls around the roofâs ledge, a makeshift cushion to protect your skull as you duck into the car seat. Immediately, youâre slumping back into the comfortable leather interior, moaning out quiet mewls of exhaustion.Â
âYeah, Iâd definitely sleep in here.â
âKeep those eyes open.â The door swings shut, and Nanami makes haste when rounding the rear of his car to the driverâs side. He had barely toed the line of sobriety anyways, but knocking a stranger on his ass was definitely more than enough to woosh any semblance of haziness from his veins. Nanami wouldnât think about drivingâwouldnât think about putting you or anyone else on the road in dangerâif he felt even the slightest bit impaired by the scotch. Behind the wheel, the man leans across the center console to grab your seatâs safety belt, carefully dragging it over your chest and clipping it into the buckle. âI need your address first, then you can knock out.â
âMy addressâŠâ You ponder, lips pursed and eyes blinking at a snailâs pace. Sleepiness prevails, and you fall in and out of slumber, head lolling and cheek mashed up against your shoulder.Â
Nanami carps, unappreciative of your inability to stay awake long enough for this much needed conversation. âHey,â he bleats, patting the top of your thigh. âCome on, Y/n. I need to know where you live.â
You whine, rolling your eyes at his persistence. âThe city.â
âYou live in the city.â Nanami deadpans at the useless information youâve just spared.Â
âMm.â And then youâre drifting back to sleep.Â
Nanami pinches high on the bridge of his nose with a thumb and forefinger, over the permanent divets where his glasses have drilled into his skin. The contortment of his fingers sends another spike of pain over his bruising knuckles. âWake up and give me a proper address.â He supposes his heated seats arenât doing much to stave off your tiredness, so he presses his knuckle into the off button. You whine.Â
âI donât remember, okay?â
Thatâs how you ended up at Nanamiâs home, tucked under his lavish sheets in his bed thatâs entirely too big for one person. Your outfit had been neatly folded and piled upon his dresser, exchanged for one of his tee shirts and a pair of sweatpants that were cinched at the waist. He helped you into his clothesâwith your undivided consent, of course. A completely clinical and respectful process; Nanami looked elsewhere, acting as a handle for you to hold onto as you stepped into the oversized pants he held open for you. They were far too wide, falling off your hips, so he took the time to tie a precious, little bow with the drawstrings.Â
âComfy?â He asks upon his return to the bedroom, holding a glass of tap water in one hand, a bottle of pills rattling in the other. Youâre exactly where he left you; swimming in his bedsheets, the comforter hoisted up to your chest. Nanami sets the water down on the bedside table, then takes a seat on the edge of his mattress, working the bottle open.Â
âIâve never been more comfortable,â you sigh blissfully, taking a deep inhale. âYour blankets smell good.â
The blonde canât help his chuckle. âIâll give you the name of the laundry detergent I use tomorrow.â With deft fingers, he plucks two small tablets, light pain medication, and sets the pair on the table next to your water glass.Â
âPromise?â Your tongue pokes out from between your teeth, playful. He chides an airy yes, snapping the tylenol bottle shut. Then, your smile fades; youâre averting your eyes, fixing them somewhere over to the blank canvas of Nanamiâs gray, bedroom wall. âHey, umâŠâ He watched the side of your face, watches the flex of your jawline and the tension in your neck. âDid IâI didnât really throw up on you, right?â
You rub at your temple, like youâre trying to find the memory but itâs just out of reach. âNo,â he replies instantly, steadily, like itâs not a complete lie. Like his bile-ridden shoes arenât sitting outside on his front door step, waiting to be cleaned. âYou donât remember?â
âItâs fuzzy,â you grumble, frustrated with yourself. âI had too much.â
Normal circumstances permitted, Nanami wouldâve totally took this opportunity to have his I told you so moment. But you already looked upset, maybe a little bit sick still, so he bit his tongue for you. âSome drunk imbecile interrupted us. We shared words, and then he got sick on us.â He was pleased with himself, his story mustâve been believable with the way you nodded along.Â
âAnd then you punched him, right?â
His face drops. âThatâs what you remember?â
Your shrug. âI donât think Iâll ever forget it, Nanami. Not for my entire life.â
âKento.â You hum, confused, so he reiterates, âI mean, call me Kento. I just clothed you, Iâd say weâre close enough.â Itâs true, you guys were getting more and more comfortable together by the day. Even outside of work and the management project, Nanami and you share text conversations more frequently than he wouldâve ever imagined. And these little hangoutsâgranted, only two have been executed thus farâhave been the most fun heâs had in ages. More fun than heâd ever hope to have with his âfriendlyâ business colleagues. Youâre his friend.Â
You, Y/n L/n, are his friend. What a strange fucking twist of events, it nearly gives Nanami whiplash.Â
âKen⊠ToâŠâ You speak each syllable slowly, peeking up at him through your eyelashes. He nods, grinning easily. Happy. âKento, Kento, Kenââ
âOkay, okay enough.â He rises, arms raised as he gives a hearty stretch to his back. âItâs bedtime. Over there,â Nanami points at a door, âis the bathroom if you need it. Youâve got water here, and make sure you take the medicine in the mornings. Youâre going to have a terrible migraine.â
âWait, where are you gonna go?â
âIâll take the couch for tonight.â
âKentoâŠâ You whine, and he really wished you wouldnât do that. âCâmere. Thereâs room.â
Youâre patting the expansive open space beside you, peeling back the heavy blankets. Itâs an enticing offer, to slip in beside you and feed off your body heat. To hold you to him andâ Stop, what are you thinking? Stupid. âI think itâs best we donât. Sorry.â And then heâs fleeing to the door because the way in which he worded that made the depths of his soul curl with cringe. Nanami bids you a polite sleep well before leaving you to the darkness, though he has enough sense left to keep the door cracked just in case you should yell for him in the night.Â

Rooted Connections
Charles Xavier x Erik Lensherr x Reader
the gender of the reader is not specified // based on X-Men Days Of Future Past, but the scenarios are made up
Summary: You are blind, and you control the earth (you also listen to the plants) you are like a mutant version of Toph Beifong basically. Also you and Charles bullying at Erik for not noticing the obvious.
maybe part 2 in the future? let me know if there are any mistakes because English is not my first language.
Charles "I'm not good with violence" Xavier
"âCan I know where we are going?â Charles asks, irritated by the mystery Logan is adding to the situation.
âYou'll see,â the man replies with a half-amused smile.
In the future, you were a legend, a myth. The original X-Men never stopped talking about you when Logan arrived at the mansion, and over time, their respect for you and your amazing deeds only grew. Something Logan struggled to learn about you was that you had a romantic relationship with both Charles and Erik. He didnât understand it until Ororo explained that it was a polyamorous relationship, which helped him understand much more about the Professor and his nemesis.
In the horrible future from which they sent him, Erik and Charles ordered him to force a reunion between the two of them and your first meeting with them.
Part of him found the situation amusing, feeling like Cupid but with bone claws instead of a bow and arrows. Another part of him hoped that this forced encounter wouldnât jeopardize the relationship destined to be in the future.
Once they arrived at what was supposed to be your home, Peter was the first to get out of the car, followed by Hank, Charles, and Logan.
They were in a place slightly secluded from the city, full of forests, dirt, plants, and flowers. There was only one house in sight, well-maintained and decorated on the outside; Charles gave you credit for that.
They walked up the short driveway, and Logan didnât even need to knock for the door to open by itself. Logan smiled amusedly while the other three men glanced at each other in confusion.
âExcuse me,â Logan murmured, entering the house, closely followed by the others.
The house was cozy and minimalist, with the few pieces of furniture placed against the walls, giving the appearance of more space than there actually was. They entered what seemed to be the kitchen, where there you were.
You had your back to them as you did something on the kitchen counter. Judging by the sound, you were preparing coffee.
âCoffee or tea?â you asked disinterestedly, creating another round of confused glances.
âCoffee,â Peter answered with a smile. Logan sat down at the table on the side of the kitchen, which had three chairs.
âI suppose the furry guy and the one who's supposed to have paralyzed legs are more into tea,â you commented as you set the water to boil. You pointed to the fridge next to you. âThere's beer in the fridge.â
Logan raised his eyebrows at the two completely confused men in the kitchen doorway as he went for the said beer, while Peter took a seat.
Hank and Charles didnât understand anything. Were you a telepath? Hank was in his human form, and Charles was full of the serum to be able to walk, so⊠how?
Logan returned to his seat, and thatâs when you finally turned around, leaving them all (except for Wolverine) surprised.
Although you usually wore sunglasses, you had taken them off when your plants alerted you that someone from the future was coming to see you. Your eyes were white, lost.
You put your hands in your pockets and leaned your back against the counter. âI suppose they want you to help them get Magneto out of the Pentagon.â
âSheâs good,â Peter murmured in amusement.
âAre you a telepath?â Charles finally asked, crossing his arms.
âNo,â you smiled at him.
âThen?â Hank asked this time, while Logan just watched the interaction like it was a soap opera, sipping his beer.
âI control anything to do with the earth, I understand plants, and I see through the roots of trees, although I can also sense all your movements through the ground weâre standing on,â you explained, serving the tea and coffee.
You heard Peter whisper âcoolâ as you handed out the cups.
âYour plants told you,â the professor concluded, taking a sip of tea, which happened to be his favorite flavor. You nodded.
âPeople have told me you have good reflexes; is that true?â Wolverineâs question made you smile slyly.
âOf course it is.â
âThen catch this,â he challenged, tossing the empty beer bottle at you.
Hank and Charles looked horrified as he threw the bottle, while Peter was ready to intervene if necessary.
Through your bare feet, you could feel how almost everyoneâs heart skipped a beat, but you caught the bottle in mid-air as if it was nothing. The collective sigh of relief that followed made you laugh.
âSo, are we going or what?â
-------------------------------------------------------
After successfully getting Magneto out of prison, you had to sit with Charles and Erik on the plane, according to Loganâs poor excuse, âSo they donât kill each other.â
After a tense conversation between the two, during which you just sat in silence, Erik spoke up.
âWhy are you barefoot?â
âSo I can see you'
Erik frowned in confusion, while Charles barely suppressed an amused smile. Erik still hadnât realized that you were blind, since you were wearing sunglasses, and you hadnât given any indication that you were. Of course, Erik found it odd that you were always looking straight ahead and not making eye contact with anyone, but he assumed you might be shy.
âAm I missing an inside joke?â Erik asked again, noticing his old friendâs poorly concealed smile.
âNo, nothing, donât think too much about it,â Charles replied, trying to hold back a laugh but failing, causing you to smile in amusement.
Magneto frowned in confusion, feeling like he was missing something, and he had to admit it made him a bit jealous. He finally reunites with Charles, the man he loves, and Charles has inside jokes with someone heâs never seen before and, as far as he knows, only met today.
âExplain to me, whatâs so funny?â he asked, hiding his growing irritation, raising an eyebrow as he looked between the two of you, who were still stifling your laughter. Erik couldnât help but notice that you were still looking straight ahead. âIs it something related to her mutation? I thought Y/N only controlled the earth and talked to plants?
âYou can do a lot with the earth, isnât that right, Charles?â you replied with amusement. The man in the wheelchair, who miraculously walks, rested his head on his hand, trying to hide his smile as he nodded. âYes, yes, of course,â he said.
Erik felt his irritation growing, along with his heart racing at the melodic sound of your shared, complicit laughter.
The gears in Magnetoâs mind started to turn as he realized.
You were wearing sunglasses that you hadnât taken off, even on the plane, always looking straight ahead, not having looked at either him or Charles this whole time, and you said you were barefoot so you could see him.
âYouâre blind,â he concluded, rubbing his forehead in a mix of irritation and embarrassment, earning loud laughs from both of you that attracted curious and annoyed looks from Hank and Logan.
âTook you long enough,â you said, patting him on the shoulder in consolation.
âSomething I donât understand is, how do you âseeâ through your feet now if weâre on a plane?â Charles asked once his laughter had calmed down.
âThe earth has metal particles, and metal has earth particles, I suppose,â you answered.
âDoes that mean you can control metal?â Erik now asked with curiosity.
âSometimes, although itâs not easy at all, it requires a lot of effort,â you replied, shrugging.
âInteresting,â they said in unison, glancing at each other and smiling as if they were thinking the same thing.
âI sense tension⊠are you two going to kiss?â you joked.
The two men rolled their eyes and smiled at each other, definitely thinking the same thing, while you felt confused because they didnât give you any response."

AFFECTION â Soldier Boy
Summary: During a mission, Soldier Boy receives a hug from you unexpectedly. He likes it.
Pairing: Soldier Boy/Ben x female supe!reader.
Word count: 0.9k
Warnings: canon violence and language, reader is kinda hurted, descriptions of blood and stuff, AU where Ben is working with the team on missions (which is what should've happened on the show btw), Soldier Boy being Soldier Boy lmao, Ben and reader are totally opposites and I live for that. Based on this post.
Note: soooo I'm still making some arrangements to my Soldier Boy long fic and instead I have this short drabble in the meantime. Hope you enjoy it hehe.
the boys/jackles tags: @k-slla
(if anyone would like to be added to my tags just tell me^^)
â if you like my writing, support me with a ko-fi !
GEN MASTERLIST!
You groanned, feeling the hard wall hit against your back. It was hard to believe but you thought probably you wouldn't go out of this alive. Your body ached and not even your strenght could stop this guy.
Fucking Butcher, why did you have to follow him to suicide again? Just a couple of cunts, he said. But he forgot to mention they had a weird improved dosis of V injected.
You fell to the ground as the man walked towards you. He was extremely tall and well-buff. No sense the Compound V on his system made him better, or at least that's what he thought. He was tossed to the ground by your side, and you crawled to the corner of the small room.
The distance was not enough to let you run away. You stayed there, watching Soldier Boy's big frame over the man. He used his shield, beting him to death and destroying his face and neck during the process. You were so damn sure his loud groans of pain would remain on your mind at least for a couple of days.
"Fucking pussy," the old man said, wipping some blood off his face. He got on his feet ungracefully and grabbed his shield back. He turned to look at you, still sitting on the floor. "You okay?"
You nodded. "Yeah."
He held you a bloody hand, which you took to stand up. There was an akward silence as you and Ben left the small room, you followed him around the dirty basement, filled with lifeless bodies and fluids on the ground, to meet with Butcher and Hughie.
"Guess those were all," Butcher announced.
"I have the remaining dosis," you took the tube from the pocket of your pants and showed them with a smile on your face. "Was the last one."
"Excellent," Butcher grabbed it and tossed it to Hughie, who saved the tube on a bag.
"We made it out, huh," you mumbled.
"Well, we're still down here, so," Hughie shrugged and three pairs of eyes narrowed at him. "What?"
"Just think positively, for once," you pleaded with a fake sharp tone. "Isn't that hard, y'know."
Ben rolled his eyes.
"We're on a fucking shithole, the kid's right. Let's go now before any of you fuck this up," he ordered and passed by between Butcher and Hughie, hitting his shoulder intentionally in the process.
You quickly followed behind his long soldier strides. "Wait!"
Soldier Boy scoffed and closed his eyes slowly only to open them again. You stood on his way with a big smile and wide eyes. Bruises and blood adorned your face and neck, your clothes were also splattered with dry blood and dirt after killing those clandestine stupid supes on an undercover mission at night, and still you acted like nothing had happened. He stood in place, with Hughie and Butcher standing behind expecting what the fuck you'd be doing this time. Sometimes he thought you were so fucking annoying.
"The fuck you want?"
You opened your lips to say something but nothing came out. Once you closed them, you beamed again and closed the distance between him and you. You wrapped your arms around his strong waist and rested your grubby check against his chest. He tensed visibly under your hug and after a moment you pulled away, your hands behind your back with a shy smile. Hughie and Butcher were clearly holding back a good laugh. They knew better not to mock Soldier Boy, not yet though.
Ben blinked a couple of times, trying to process what happened.
"What the fuck was that?"
You giggled. "Affection."
He wrinkled his nose. "Disgusting."
You gasped and faked sadness on your voice. "Why? I was just saying 'thank you for saving my ass'."
"It's fucking nothing," he rolled his eyes and started to walk again to guide the team outside, with the other two men with playful smirks on their faces following behind.
"Ben!" you quickly caught his pace to stand by his side. "Thank you, okay? Probably you don't like physical contact but I do. And this is how I show others that I care about them and that I'm thankful. I also give hugs because I like them andâ"
"Shh!" Ben raised his hand, suddenly stopping his tracks by the end of the stairs that'd lead you outside. He turned and looked at you with that grumpy face of his. "I said you're welcome, sweetheart. Now we need to go, you can talk to me about your hugs shit later."
He pointed to Hughie and Butcher. "Now, you, cocksuckers, go up."
Butcher grinned, going first. "Sure, cap."
"You shut up," Soldier Boy warned, Hughie gulped and nodded, and made his way up on the stairs.
You stood there, with a smile on your lips. Always that fucking, idiotic, stupid smile, even after hard missions like the one you just had. It was like if you were the only one who didn't seem scared of him or anything else. Sure, you were a supe and a smart asset on the team. But still, a very peculiar lady through his eyes.
He sighed and rolled his eyes. Once Butcher and Hughie were out of sight he finally talked.
"Do it again."
"Excuse me?"
"The stupid hug, do it again."
You raised your eyebrows, eyes bright as you realized his request. "Really?!"
"God, woman. Do I need to fucking repeat myâ?"
His words were cut by your strong hug. You crashed against his frame so hard he lost balance for a bit. He was certainly surprised by how warm your hug it actually felt. You angled your eyes to see his face.
"Thanks!"
You let him go and got up the stairs. He barely curved his lips at how happy you climbed them. Yeah, well he actually liked your stupid hugs.

Lords of the Dungeon
cw: blood, violence, some spoilers
We already know what Laios and Marcille are like as Dungeon Lords, so I've taken the liberty of imagining a little about what the other three would be like in this role I'll take each one in order^^
Senshi
As a lord, Senshi seems to me to be the most reasonable and stable. The dungeon is his home, and he, as a decent owner, brings order to it. Senshi knows the value of desires and does not change the dungeon radically, but takes the monsters under strict control, bringing it closer to the ideal, modeled on the Golden City
Judging by his reflection in the mirror of desires, Senshi dreams of a peaceful life with his friends. He would create conditions to avoid a repeat tragedy, but the fulfillment of his desires would turn against him, as happened with Mithrun
Chilchuck
Chilchuck is used to seeing the dungeon as a source of danger and profit. His dungeon is a place full of intricate traps and secret tunnels where riches are hidden. The monsters obey him, but controlling them is too physically exhausting for him
His dual nature makes him want everything and a lot. Chilchuck wants to restore the family idyll, but at the same time not have obligations that he cannot fulfill. His time as lord would be extremely short (I highly recommend reading this post, it has a more detailed portrait of Dungeonchuck and his analysis: https://www.tumblr.com/fumifooms/760199946778624000/dungeon-lord-chilchuck-thoughts)
Izutsumi
She appears to be the most chaotic and aggressive due to the fact that she contains two souls, so the monsters take on this mood. The dungeon will undergo serious changes for the worse
Izutsumi's incentive to follow the party was to separate her soul from the soul of the giant cat, so she would most likely receive the illusion of being freed from her beast form. Her second greatest desire is to take revenge on the one who turned her into a beastman, and she would do anything to achieve this

When the KKK Murdered My Childhood FriendÂ
When the Ku Klux Klan murdered my protector, it made me see the world differently.
I was always the shortest kid in school, which made me an easy target for bullies. To protect myself, I got into the habit of befriending older boys whoâd watch my back.
One summer when I was around 8 years old I found Mickey, a kind and gentle teenager with a ready smile who made me feel safe.
Over the years, I lost track of Mickey. It wasnât until the fall of 1964, my freshman year in college, that I heard what had happened to him.
Several months before, Mickey, whose full name was Michael Schwerner, had gone to Mississippi to register Black voters during what was known as âFreedom Summer.â
On June 21, Michael and two other civil rights workers, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman, were arrested near Philadelphia, Mississippi by Neshoba County Deputy Sheriff Cecil Ray Price, for allegedly speeding.
That night, after they paid their speeding ticket and left the jail, Deputy Price followed them, stopped them again, ordered them into his car, and took them down a deserted road where he turned them over to a group of his fellow Ku Klux Klan members. They were beaten, shot at point-blank range, and buried in an earthen dam. Their bodies werenât found until August 4.
The state of Mississippi refused to bring charges against any of the Klan members. Eventually, the U.S. Justice Department brought federal charges against Price and 17 others.
An all-white jury found seven of the defendants guilty, including Price. Ultimately none would serve more than six years behind bars.
When the news reached me that Mickey, my childhood protector, had been murdered by white supremacists â by violent bullies who would stop at nothing to prevent Black people from exercising their right to vote â something snapped inside me.
I began to see everything differently. Â Before then, I understood bullying as a few kids picking on me for being short. Now I saw bullying on a larger scale, all around me. In Black people bullied by whites. In workers bullied by bosses. In girls and women bullied by men. In the disabled or gay or poor or sick or immigrant bullied by employers, landlords, insurance companies, and politicians.
Sixty years after the Freedom Summer murders, America still wrestles with bullies â a rise in hate crimes targeting people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants, Jews, and Muslims â new laws restricting the right to vote, banning books, and stripping Americans of reproductive freedoms â leaders who insult and demean people with disabilities, women, and trans kids.
We must never give in to cruelty and violence. It is incumbent on all of us to stand up to bullies and be each otherâs protectors.

i love you
pairing: frank castle x fem!reader
summary: everything has led to this.
warnings: swearing, mentions of violence, blood, & weapons, all the angst in the world (like all of it)
word count: 6.6k
a/n: i think this is the longest chapter to date, & definitely the most jam packed. grab a snack, a blanket, some tissues, & settle in. i can't accept your therapy invoices, but i will be here to provide comfort after. :) as always, feedback is welcomed/appreciated!
[previous chapter] | [next chapter] | [series masterlist]
As dozens of Billyâs men filled the expansive underground space you were in, your ears picked up on several different sounds. The click of clips being loaded into guns, the rip of velcro straps on kevlar being pried open, the hiss of steel being sharpened to a fatal point. However your brain could barely focus on any of those sounds because the only ones that registered were the murmurs of casual conversations and the easy laughter that followed crude jokes.
These men might as well have been lingering around at a bar with a drink in their hand, not gearing up to go up against one of their own. Whether they were doing it out of loyalty to Billy, or just for the impressive paycheck waiting for them, you knew some of these egotistical fucks were doing it so they could be the one to say they did the impossible; to be able to say they brought down the Punisher.
Some of their faces you recognized from working with Frank when he was your bodyguard, trading off shifts with him, and providing extra detail when needed. It was a nauseating feeling realizing the entire time you thought you were being protected from the Defenders of Freedom, you were in the presence of an even greater threat and didnât know it. How many of these guys wouldnât have even hesitated to flip on you for the right price and take you out themselves?
These men knew where you lived, where you worked, who you knew, where you got your fucking coffee every morning, everything about you and your routine. They were prepping to go up against Frank, but you knew not a single one of them would bat an eye if Billy gave the order to kill you once he got what he wanted. Your eyes flickered over to his tall form standing across the room, watching him bark out orders to a group of men that looked like they were buzzing with anticipation for all hell to break loose. Every single person in this room wanted Frank dead.
And it made you sick.
Your mind was still reeling from learning the truth about him, about his past and who he really was. It was like you couldnât process it. All the pieces were there, connected into place, but your brain refused to see the picture on top. How could they be the same man?Â
Frank. Stubborn Frank that put up with your short fuse and shot back at your smartass remarks with his own. Thoughtful Frank that remembered your coffee order, that remembered every little thing you told him no matter how big or small, that neatly packed a bag for you full of your go to essentials and clothes when he brought you to Curtis. Sweet Frank that immediately apologized if he raised his voice too loud, that was going to sleep on the floor of a motel just to make sure you didnât feel uncomfortable, that touched you like you were delicate glass he didnât want to break.
Frank that had saved your life more times than you could count, and that had been by your side and protected you from everything he could for the last nine months.
That Frank, your Frank, was the same man that had been painted as a psychopath in the media for murdering thirty-seven people in cold blood.
âYou still not talkinâ to me?â
Billyâs boots appeared in your line of sight, but you didnât look up at him. After heâd forced you to put it all together, youâd completely shut down and gone silent. You werenât even sure how long youâd been sitting in that chair still as a statue and mute while Billy and his men prepared for Frankâs arrival. While you were struggling to process the bombshell heâd dropped, one question kept popping into your head.
âWhy did you give me that file?â
âThought youâd wanna know. Seeinâ as how you were such a big fan and all, writinâ all those articles praisinâ him-â
âI didnât praise him.â
Billy seemed pleased with himself that heâd finally gotten you to look at him and speak to him. The cocky smirk that fleeted across his lips reignited a flame of resentment within you.
âYou sure as hell didnât condemn him neither.â
Clenching your jaw and setting your lips in a firm line, you looked away from Billy, glaring straight ahead. Your lack of response and attention made his smirk slip, and he let out an exhale of irritation through his nose while looking down at you.
âYou know, I really thought you understood.â
Rolling your eyes in exasperation, you looked up at Billy in pinched cynicism and snapped at him.
âUnderstood what?â
âThat things ainât always black and white. That most things happen in that little gray area, where it gets a little messy. It ainât always-â
âOh shut the fuck up, William. Donât try to preach at me to make yourself feel better about whatever shitty thing you did. I donât wanna hear it.â
Billyâs eyes darkened at your sharp verbal lashing. He stood up a little straighter and squared his shoulders, his lips pressed together in a bitter line. He watched you turn your head and glower down at the floor as if it had personally wronged you, and he noticed how your bound hands slightly trembled from how pissed off you were. It was a complete 180 from your catatonic state five minutes earlier. He wouldâve found it amusing if he wasnât so annoyed.
Suddenly the lights went out, and the underground space went pitch black. The darkness was so opaque, you couldnât even see your own hands when you looked down in their general direction. A murmur of confusion and irritation spread throughout Billyâs men, and the sound of guns being cocked and knives being unsheathed seemed to echo in the stillness.Â
Not even a minute later, there was a loud click as the emergency lights from the backup generator switched on. It took your eyes a moment to adjust to the dull light coming from the intermittently spaced fixtures. All of Billyâs men were looking between each other and the various exit points in the underground basement that were shrouded in ominous shadows. Billy shifted quickly into a more guarded stance, his eyes hard and jaw taut while turning his attention to the man standing closest to his left.
âCarson, take your men and check the breakers. Power stationâs on the south side.â
âYes sir.â
As the team of six disappeared down the hallway on the far right, Billy turned to face the remaining group of his men with a stern expression.
âAlpha team, youâre on the North exits. Bravo, youâre on the South. When Carson gets me an update on those breakers, Echo I want a rooftop visual. You know whoâs coming. You know your orders.â
âKill Castle.â
A blonde man you didnât recognize had a cocky grin on his thin chapped lips, emphasizing his point by cocking his gun.
âHe ainât gonna hesitate to kill you.â
Some of the men exchanged glances at that statement before looking at Billy with a nod of affirmation. His dark brown eyes flickered over each of them, looking for any sign of fear or weakness.
âHe does not leave here alive. You do whatever you gotta do to bring him down. Watch your six. Remember, thereâs half a million waitinâ for whoever brings me the body.â
Frantically glancing between Billy and his men as they fully geared up, you gripped the arms of the chair while looking up at Billy in a mixture of incredulity and confusion. You thought Billy had brought his men in for defense. It was evident none of them had a problem killing Frank, but you assumed the whole point of their presence was to protect Billy, and to force Frank to surrender by outnumbering him so that Billy could trade for the intel. If they killed him on sight, Billy wouldnât have any way to get what Frank found.
âI thought you said this was a trade.â
Turning his head to look down in your direction, Billy could see the clear panic on your face. There was a wicked gleam in Billyâs eyes as a sardonic smirk slowly tugged at the edge of his lips.
âNah, sweetheart. Itâs a trap.â
An icy trickle of dread cascaded down your spine rapidly and your breath hitched in your throat. Billy didnât give a shit about what Frank had on him. He hadnât brought him here to bargain. Heâd lured him into an execution, using you as bait.
A cacophony of rapid gunfire and shouting unexpectedly echoed from the hallway on the far right that Carsonâs team had disappeared down, and everyoneâs heads immediately snapped in that direction. Billyâs smirk swiftly dropped from his mouth, and he quickly went rigid. But before anyone could even react, the resonation of bullets ricocheting and panicked yells abruptly stopped, and it went dead silent.
The previous arrogant attitude the remaining men had up until that moment seemed to rapidly evaporate, and their heavy breathing and wide eyed gazes betrayed their true apprehension as the reality of the situation sobered up their egos. They knew what that sound meant. They knew who it meant.
And so did Billy.
âGet to your positions.â
Billyâs dark eyes flickered over his men with a hardened glare when they didnât move quickly enough, and his voice reverberated off the walls when he yelled.
âNow!â
Immediately, they started to disperse like scurrying ants, and the sound of their boots hitting the concrete floor in every direction echoed like claps of thunder. When you looked up at Billy again, you saw something in him youâd never seen before, something you didnât even think he was capable of.
Fear.
At first the sound was so soft and quiet that when Billy looked down at you and saw your head tilted downwards and your shoulders faintly shaking, he thought you were crying. But when it grew louder in volume, Billyâs short lived concern turned into pure irritation as it became clear that you werenât crying.
You were laughing.
The edge of his lips curled into a faint snarl as he lunged at you, slipping his hand into your hair to roughly yank your head backwards which earned a grunt of pain from you. Billyâs nose was barely half an inch from yours as he bent down and glared at you.
âWhat the hell is so funny?â
Staring him down with equal animosity, your lips slowly spread into a wide and wicked grin. Leaning in even closer to get in his face as much as he was in yours, you spoke in a harsh taunting tone laced with venom.
âYou are so fucked.â
Billy stared into your eyes, seeing nothing in them but pure stubborn rage. His own lips spread into a dark smirk, and he let go of your hair to wrap his hand around your throat instead, making a point to apply just enough pressure to make you inhale sharply. He could feel the thrum of your rapid pulse against his fingers, and his breath was warm against your lips when he leaned in closer.
âNah, thatâs where youâre wrong darlinâ. I got you.â
The sound of a knife being unsheathed was sharp in your ears, and the glint of a blade reflected in your eyes as Billy held the serrated steel in front of your face. Cocking his head to the side menacingly, he dragged the flat side of it down your slightly heaving chest slowly. He kept his eyes locked on yours, and you refused to look away. A crisp rip suddenly sounded, and the pressure on your wrists was gone as he cut your restraints.Â
âAs long as I got you, Iâm gettinâ outta here.â
Narrowing your eyes, you glared at Billy as he bent down to cut the restraints around your legs. When he rose to his full height, he slipped the knife back into the sheath on his hip and reached out to grab your arm tightly, tugging you up to your feet roughly.
âCâmon, youâre with me.â
When he took a step forward, you yanked your arm out of his grasp, glowering up at him as you raised your chin defiantly and spoke through your teeth.
âPussy.â
Billyâs eyes flickered with both annoyance and amusement. He slipped his gun out of his holster and held it at his side, gesturing in your direction with his chin.
âThink I liked you better all tied up.â
âYeah I'm sure you did.â
Ignoring your challenging stare, Billy grabbed your arm harshly again and started pushing you towards one of the exits that led down a long tunnel like hallway. The emergency backup lights lit up the path enough to navigate, but there were gaps of shadowed darkness in between them. You still had no idea exactly where you were, but it looked like some kind of abandoned warehouse or factory.
You struggled to keep up with the large stride of Billyâs long legs as he practically dragged you along with him. His eyes were focused straight ahead, his hand gripped tightly around the handle of the gun in his other hand, his index finger resting on the trigger.Â
âWhere the hell are you taking me?â
âBe quiet.â
Your eyes flickered down to the knife in the sheath on Billyâs hip. As your gaze darted quickly between the knife and Billyâs focused face, you took advantage of his diverted attention and impulsively reached for the handle to yank it out. The force of the movement caught Billy off guard and made his grip on your arm falter for a second. Ripping your arm away from his grip, you quickly took a few steps backwards and pointed the sharp tip of the knife in his direction.Â
A crease formed between Billyâs dark brows as he glanced between the knife in your hand and the empty sheath on his hip before an expression of annoyed realization dawned on his sharp features. Letting out a deep exhale of irritation through his nose, Billy lifted his head and looked at you in pure vexation, clearly not feeling threatened by you in the slightest.
âWhy are you so goddamn difficult? Gimme that.â
Billy held out his hand expectantly. Looking down at his outstretched palm, you lifted your gaze and glared up at him as you tightened your grip on the handle and grit through your teeth.
âNo.â
Clenching his jaw in frustration, Billy took a step closer and cocked the hammer on his gun.
âSweetheart, now ainât the time-â
âYou need me. Youâre not gonna shoot me-â
Billy took another step forward and aimed his gun at your thigh, glowering down at you with a hardened look in his eyes.Â
âNot in the head, but if you donât give me that goddamn knife back and stop beinâ so fuckinâ difficult, youâre gonna be crawlinâ outta here.â
Staring up into his darkened eyes, your heart was pounding in your chest. You knew Billy was serious, and it made the adrenaline induced confidence in you falter. He could see that heâd unnerved you with his threat. He took another predatory step forward and held out his hand expectantly once again.
âNow, weâre gonna do this nice and-â
âRusso!â
Both of you instantly snapped your heads towards the other side of the dark hallway shrouded in unfiltered blackness as a familiar deep voice boomed from the end of it. The volume and intensity behind the war cry seemed to rattle your bones and left you frozen in place. Billy expertly swiped the knife from your grasp in a flash, pressing the serrated blade against your throat before you could even blink. He pointed his gun towards the end of the darkened hallway, his stance rigid.
âThat you, Frankie?â
The sound of heavy boots against the concrete slowly started to grow louder as they traveled down the hall in your direction. You knew who they belonged to. Youâd recognize those footsteps anywhere. Your heart seemed to pound just as loudly in your ears as they got closer and closer. Swallowing thickly, the movement made the blade just barely cut into your skin, but you couldnât even feel it from the adrenaline coursing through you. All at once, a sharp gasp escaped your lips and your eyes went wide.
A white skull spontaneously appeared in the darkness, floating through it like an apparition. As it came closer, you could see that it was worn and faded, darkened with dirt and grime, coated in several deep red streaks and splatters of fresh blood with various bullets lodged into it. A merciless and unforgiving symbol of wrath and vengeance the worst of the worst in New York had learned to fear.
Time seemed to stand still when he stepped out of the shadows, and your blood ran cold when you were face to face with the Punisher for the first time.
Frank.
His large hands were covered in blood, and his knuckles were split and bruised. Deep shades of violet were blooming on his left cheek and around a fresh cut that was bleeding on his right cheekbone. There was a small split on the bridge of his large nose, and one on the left side of his top lip. The dim light above cast menacing shadows on his bruised and bloodied face, emphasizing the storm of rage brewing in his eyes.Â
Frank stopped directly under the light, just a few feet away. You thought youâd seen Frank pissed before, but the way he was staring at Billy made you shudder. He was furious. The anger radiating off of him in waves was palpable.
âIt didn't have to be like this, Frankie.â
Frankâs index and middle finger on his right hand twitched twice as he spoke in his gruff voice.
âIt wouldnât be if Madani hadnât been right.â
âSurprised she trusted you at all. You were there in Kandahar, Frank. Hell, youâre the one that pulled the fuckinâ trigger on her partner. She know that?â
âI was followinâ orders. You were workinâ with Rawlins and Schoonover, sellinâ out your honor. For what, Bill? Money?â
Hearing the blatant disgust in Frankâs voice, Billy tightened his grip around the handle of the gun and the handle of the blade simultaneously.Â
âYou shoulda just left it alone, Frankie. But you chose that bitch Madani over me.â
Frank tilted his head to the side slightly, his dark brows and face scrunched in a concoction of disappointment and anguish as he looked at Billy.Â
âYou think I wanted to believe her, Bill? You think I wasnât lookinâ for somethinâ to prove her wrong, huh? You think I wasnât hopinâ to God Iâd find nothinâ?â
The despair laced within Frankâs rough voice killed you.Â
âYou shoulda come to me. I was your brother, Frankie. All of this, it was unavoidable.â
Billy gestured between you and Frank with his gun before aiming it at Frank again. Frank hadnât looked at you once. His attention was solely focused on Billy. The second those words left Billyâs mouth, you saw the way Frankâs face slowly morphed into a forlorn portrait streaked in betrayal.
âWas killinâ my family unavoidable?â
Frankâs grief stricken question felt like an electric shock. Snapping your head to look up at Billy, you watched as he visibly stiffened, his grip on both weapons faltering as his face fell slightly.
âYou do it, Bill?â
Billy wouldnât meet Frankâs eye, or yours. He dropped his gaze downwards, and what appalled you was his lack of a reaction. He didnât look guilty. He didnât try to deter Frankâs accusation or defend himself at all, didnât offer any kind of correction or explanation. He was standing there quietly like Frank hadnât just dropped a grenade of trauma between them.
âLook at me. Look at me!â
Frankâs loud voice booming once again made you flinch, and Billy finally lifted his head to look at him. Standing up straighter, Billy looked at Frank with unnerving calmness.
âI didnât pull the trigger-â
âBut you knew about it.â
Frankâs voice had been reduced to a wavering whisper. The dim light above highlighted the way his brown eyes had glossed over with treachery that threatened to spill at any second. The pain in his gaze and in his voice brought tears to your own eyes as you looked at him. Billy plastered an impassive look on his sharp features, giving a faint nod of his head and speaking with as much nonchalance as if he was discussing the weather.
âYeah, I knew.â
Frank closed his eyes solemnly, a stray tear slipping down each of his cheeks, the clear droplets turning pastel pink as they mixed with the deep crimson stains of blood lingering on his face. Inhaling sharply, when Frank opened his eyes again, he looked away for a moment, his eyes darting back and forth rapidly as a muscle feathered in his jaw. His nostrils flared and his lips twitched as he faintly shook his head in denial and disbelief.
âShe loved you. My kids loved you.â
âIt was just business-â
âIt wasnât business when my kids were callinâ you âUncle Billyâ. It wasnât business when Maria was makinâ sure you had somewhere to spend the holidays. It wasnât business when I heard my family screaminâ for me. When I saw my wife and my boyâŠlayinâ dead in the grass. When I held my baby girl in my arms, seeinâ blood and meat pourinâ out of where her face should be.â
Billyâs Adamâs apple bobbed as he appeared to swallow down even the slightest flicker of remorse. Frankâs bloodied and beaten face was stoic, but his eyes gave away how distraught he was knowing that Billy had been involved in orchestrating the massacre of his family. It hadnât been an inopportune tragedy getting caught in the middle of a shootout. It had been a premeditated execution. The bullet in Frankâs head was meant to be a killshot.
When Frank lifted his gaze and looked at Billy again, there was nothing but pure hatred left.
âNo. It wasnât just business then, Bill, and it sure as hell ainât just business now. Itâs pretty goddamn personal.â
âI never wanted this-â
âYeah, well you got it.â
Frankâs bereavement had evaporated from the blaze of retribution that was now burning in his eyes. Billy watched as Frank physically morphed from a brokenhearted man in mourning into a vengeful memento mori right before his eyes. The reality of what Billy had done was so much worse than your wildest imagination couldâve ever conjured. It burned through the short fuse of your temper, and as a surge of adrenaline shot through your nervous system, you shoved the knife away from your throat while Billy was distracted. As soon as he turned his head in your direction, you struck your fist across his face, not even feeling the sharp pain that pierced your knuckles.
âYou fucking coward.â
The unexpected impact made Billy stumble a half step backwards, dropping the knife that was in his other hand as it came up to clutch his jaw. He swiftly recovered from the hit and turned the gun on you.Â
âWhoa whoa whoa, easy there, killer. Letâs calm that little temper down. Iâd hate to ruin that pretty face-â
Taking a step closer towards the gun aimed at your chest, you stared him down and bared your teeth in a faint snarl.
âGo ahead. Itâll be nothing compared to what heâs gonna do to yours.â
Billy visibly stiffened at your razor sharp taunt, and his eyes darkened as he stared down at you. Cocking his head to the side slightly, there was a flicker of amusement in his eyes as he suddenly chuckled darkly at your fearless rage.
âGoddamn, Frankie. She this feisty in bed?â
âThe hell are you doinâ?â
At first you didnât realize that Frank was talking to you. In the midst of your unfiltered anger, you were still glaring up at Billy. It wasnât until Frank called your name in a harsh reprimand that you turned to look at him and saw that he was finally looking at you. A flash of confusion interrupted your adrenaline induced wrath noticing that his anger seemed to now be directed at you instead of Billy.
âWhat?â
âI said what the hell are you doinâ? Heâs got a goddamn gun, Y/N-â
âYeah I can see that, itâs pointed at my fucking face.â
Frank clenched his jaw when you snapped at him with equal frustration. He let out a puff of air through his lips and shook his head as he glanced around in pure irritation.
âFor Christâs sake, you never fuckinâ listen, do ya? Youâre always runninâ your goddamn mouth instead of doinâ what youâre told. Whatâd I say, huh?â
A look of raw hurt and puzzled betrayal crossed your face when Frank yelled at you. You were taken aback by the hostility in his gaze and in his voice. He was staring you down in a way that almost made you shudder.Â
âI told you keep your distance, yeah? I said stay offline. But you just push, you canât ever let go of that need for control, can you? And now look at you, underneath all this shit, got your panties all in a fuckinâ twist. You never hesitate, do ya? Just like that day in the cabin.âÂ
Frankâs angry tirade sent such an unexpected shock through you, it took you a moment to register what he was actually saying, but the mention of the cabin abruptly made it click and a light bulb seemed to go off when you realized what Frank was doing.
Distance. Offline. Push. Control. Underneath. Twist. Never hesitate.
âYou always aim for my goddamn nerves.â
Frank roughly smacked his palm against his own shoulder in what looked like a display of frustration, but you understood what it really meant.Â
âJust do what I said. You got that?â
He stared at you with a look in his eyes only you could decipher, a silent communication passing between the two of you, and you steeled your expression as you swallowed thickly and gave him a subtle but imperceptible nod.Â
âYeah. I got it.â
âShow me.â
Billy had been looking between you and Frank, amused by your little lover's quarrel. Frankâs final words made his dark brows furrow in curiosity, and when he turned his head to look at him, you quickly surged forward and gripped the barrel of the gun in your left hand, pushing it away from you and slipping your right hand under Billyâs wrist. Twisting the barrel forcefully to the right, Billy grunted as his wrist unexpectedly twisted with it forcing his grip to loosen. The second you pulled it away from his grasp and stepped back, he lunged forward, and you fired a shot right at his shoulder.
âFuck!â
Billyâs back collided with the wall behind him when the bullet ripped through his right shoulder, his hand immediately coming up to apply pressure. Before the shock of what youâd just done could even register, Frank rushed forward and nearly tackled you as he wrapped his arms around your frame and forced you forward into a sprint. He dragged you down another hallway, and by the time you finally stopped running, your lungs were burning and your hands were trembling.
Frank grabbed you by your shoulders, ducking his head to capture your frantic gaze.
âListen to me, I need you to run.â
Staring up at him wide eyed, a crease of confusion nestled between your brows.
âWhat?â
âMadaniâs waitinâ outside, Homelandâs got the place surrounded. Take this hallway all the way down. You run, and you donât look back for nothinâ, you got that?â
Your eyes darted back and forth between Frankâs rapidly. Your brain was still trying to process everything that had just happened, but the thought of leaving Frank seemed to snap you out of your shock. A stubborn look of refusal contorted your features as you looked up at him.
âWha-no. No, Iâm not leaving you-â
Frank cupped your face in his large hands and stared down into your eyes with a pleading expression.
âHeyâŠhey, listen to me sweetheart, listen. I gotta finish this. I canâtâŠI canât let it go.âÂ
Frank paused as he swallowed thickly and looked down at you, a sheen of remorse shining in his apologetic expression. His next words felt like a shot to the chest.
âAnd you canât stay. You gotta go, you gotta walk away.â
The second those words left his lips, it felt like the breath had been knocked out of your lungs. You immediately started to shake your head in refusal.
âFrank-â
âGo, now.â
âFrank, donât do this-â
Frank leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to your lips, and you hated how much it felt like a goodbye. When he pulled back, he looked down at you with a tender expression and somber swirls in his warm brown eyes. His voice was the softest youâd ever heard it when he traced his thumb over your cheekbone gently.
âI love you, you got that? I love you, but you gotta walk away.â
Tears immediately sprang in your eyes as you slowly shook your head and begged him in a desperate whisper.
âFrank please-â
âHey, shh shh shh.â
He leaned in and pressed his lips against your forehead in a delicate show of affection, allowing them to linger for a moment before he let go and took a step backwards.
âYou gotta do this for me, baby. Please. Please, just this once, do what I ask.â
As soon as he stepped backwards, you stepped forwards and instinctively reached for his hand, gripping onto it tightly. Tears slipped past your bottom lash line while you looked up at him with raw emotion in your eyes, silently begging him not to go.Â
âGo.â
Frank spoke in a gentle voice, giving your hand a faint squeeze before pulling his away, the blood that had been on his hand now staining yours. Without another word or glance, he turned to walk away, determined to find Billy and finish this. All you could do was watch him disappear, standing right where he left you, feeling like youâd just been shattered into a thousand helpless pieces.
With tears streaming down your face, you could feel panic start to rise in your chest. Turning to look down at the other end of the hallway, your fight or flight seemed to kick in and you started to run frantically. Just as you rounded one of the corners, one of Billyâs men popped out, drawing his rifle on you. Quickly you aimed the gun in your hand back at him, but before either of you could shoot, something suddenly flew out of nowhere and knocked the guy out.
He dropped to the ground with a thud, and you whirled around to aim the gun in your hands towards the shadow it had come from. Your breathing was ragged, and your hands were shaking as you gripped the handle until your knuckles turned stark white. A deep voice suddenly sounded from the darkness.
âEasy, Iâm not gonna hurt you.â
Soft footsteps approached, and out of the dark shadows, a pair of dark red horns glinted under the light.Â
Daredevil.
Your eyes widened as he came into the light, his gloved hands help up in a show of surrender. You were completely stunned as he took cautious steps forward until he was in front of you, reaching out with one hand to gently place it on top of the barrel of the gun, slowly lowering it down.
âGo all the way towards the end of the hall. Thereâs an exit on your right.â
A look of confusion crossed your features as you glanced down the darkened hallway before looking back up at him. Heâd come from an entirely different direction.Â
âHow do you-â
âJust trust me.â
Staring up into the dark lenses of his cowl, you turned your head to look back in the direction of where youâd just run from, where Frank had disappeared. All at once, the gravity of the situation felt too heavy, and you almost buckled under it.
âIâŠI canât. I canât.â
âYou need to leave-â
âI canât leave him.â
Hearing how panicked your breathing was starting to become, he stepped forward, gently grabbing your shoulders to get your attention, and you looked up at him in blurry hopelessness.Â
âListen to me, I'm not gonna let anything happen to him, alright? I promise.â
You couldnât move. The daunting possibility of losing Frank was overwhelming. This whole thing felt like a devastating nightmare you desperately wanted to wake up from. Feeling your hesitation, Daredevil gently squeezed your shoulders again and spoke in an even softer voice.
âY/N, Frank asked me to help keep you safe. Please let me do that.â
The way he said your name ignited a spark of recognition in your head, and it had a calming effect. You knew that voice. Youâd heard it before. Something about him seemedâŠfamiliar, and not just because youâd covered articles about the Devil of Hellâs Kitchen. Something about the way he said Frankâs name sounded familiar too. Letting your eyes wander over his figure in the red and black suit, the gears started turning in your head as you studied the bottom half of his face that wasnât covered.
âSay his name again.â
âWhat?â
âJust say it.â
Even with half of his face covered, you could tell that he was clearly puzzled by your request.
âFrank.â
Immediately, it hit you like a bolt of lightning. Your eyes widened as you stared up at him in shock, a breathless whisper of his name leaving your lips in disbelief.
âMatt?â
His plump lips parted, and he pulled back as he stood up straight, tilting his head to the side slightly. Before he could stammer out a response, he abruptly turned his to the left, and he dropped his hands from your shoulders.
âThere's seven heavily armed men coming this way.â
Turning your head, you stared down the darkened hallway he was looking at in puzzlement. You couldnât see or hear anything. Looking back up at him, you blinked a few times before tilting your head to the side and staring up at him in complete bewilderment.
âWhat? How the fuck do you-â
âItâs complicated.â
âLike being a blind lawyer but also Daredevil.â
Matt pursed his lips at your dry tone and sass. He took a step away from you and bent down to pick up the baton up off the floor next to the unconscious man.Â
âDown the hall. Exit on the right. Go.â
Watching him pull out another baton, you threw your hands up in exasperation, still gripping onto the gun in your hand.
âAnd what the hell are you gonna do? You said thereâs heavily armed men coming and youâre gonna, what? Throw your sticks at them?â
Matt cocked his head to the side as he glanced in your direction, slightly amused by your irritated skepticism.Â
âTheyâre batons.â
âOh, excuse me. Batons. Youâre gonna throw your batons at the group of ex-special forces coming this way with automatic weapons.â
A cocky smirk stretched across his lips at your dry sarcasm, and he started to walk backwards.
âHave a little faith, sweetheart.â
When he took off running down the hall, you ran your hand stressfully through your hair, glancing around in complete disbelief. Your boyfriend was the Punisher. Your lawyer was Daredevil. And you were at your witâs fucking end.
âWhat the fuck is going on.â
The second you pushed the door open to the exit that led outside, a blinding flash of light had you bringing your hands up to your face, including the one still holding the gun. A swarm of agents wearing protective gear and aiming guns in your direction swiftly rushed towards you, yelling out orders that had you freezing.
âDrop the weapon! Drop it now!â
In a panic, you quickly dropped the gun and held your hands up in surrender. There were police cars, S.W.A.T. trucks, helicopters floating above, and dozens upon dozens of various officers and agents surrounding the area. They were yelling at you to get down on the ground, and you were glancing between all of them anxiously, feeling like you were about to start hyperventilating as you tried to stutter out an explanation.Â
Before you could get your limbs to work again and comply, a familiar voice carried over the aggressive demands.
âStand down, now!â
Madani forcefully broke through the line of agents that had you surrounded, shoving her gun into the holster on her hip as she all but ran over towards you. Her brown eyes scanned over you intensely, quickly assessing for any sign of damage or injury.Â
âWhat happened? Is Billy still in there? Whereâs Frank?â
âIâŠI shot him.â
A crease of perplexity formed between Madaniâs dark brows hearing your shaky response.
âWhat? You shot who?â
âBilly.â
Madani arched one of her dark brows in surprise, and what looked like a hint of pride. She took a step closer, lowering her voice.
âIs he dead?â
The anxiety coursing through your system was cresting, threatening to crash over you and trap you beneath the tide. The adrenaline was starting to wear off, and you were shaking uncontrollably.Â
âI donâtâŠI donât know.â
Madani reached out to grab your arms, giving them a reassuring squeeze as she attempted to keep you calm while she looked at you.
âY/N, whereâs Frank?â
âHe-â
All at once you froze. Madani felt you freeze up, and her brown eyes were darting back and forth between your own rapidly for an answer when she saw your eyes go wide with recognition and shock. She called your name again, but it was muffled in your ears and distant, like your head was underwater. A shaky whisper slipped past your lips as they parted.
âI didn't say it back.â
Madani was watching you intently, trying desperately to figure out what was going on and what had happened.
âDidnât say what back? What are you talking about?â
In an instant, your eyes welled up with thick tears that turned Madani into a blurry silhouette, and you gripped onto her as though someone had punched a hole through your chest and ripped your heart right out. A choked sob caught in your throat when the gravity of what you had missed hit you with enough force to send a crack through your soul.
âI didnât say it back, Dinah.â
Turning your head to look back at the abandoned factory behind you, the burden of your mistake fractured your rib cage, and a tide of agony and regret burst through the broken pieces like a wrathful flood. Madani caught you in her arms as you collapsed against her, pulling you into her chest when you succumbed to the grief and completely broke down in tears, letting out a wail of his name that tore through your throat and left it raw.
Frank had told you he loved you, and you didnât say it back.
You didnât know if youâd ever get the chance to.

[ TW: Yandere Jinwoo, Violence , all Shadows Mentioned are in Human Form ]
â§âË âïžâ
Part 1 || Part 2âĄđ àŁȘ ÖŽÖ¶ÖžâŸ.
â°â†â [ Across the oceans with the stars as my guide, my Bride, I will find you ] ÂĄ! â
Jinwoo was a huge mommy's boy, that's for sure. But like any other son, he also idolizes his father to the point that he begs Il-hwan to take him out to his mini ship trips to which the old man humors the little boy and teaches him how to be a good sailor.
Il-hwan often took Jinwoo in his short trips, mostly just to let the boy be more physically active. After all, young boys oughta be active to grow into healthy and happy men.
Well... That was until Il-hwan lost sight of Jinwoo who wandered off into the island the little boy was accompanying him into to deliver some goods.
While poor Sung Il-hwan's heart was about to burst from his chestâ His son meanwhile... Was busy getting heart eyes and butterflies fluttering in silly little tummy.
Jinwoo was your typical idiot child after all, he is reckless and wanders off despite his father's strict orders not to be 10 steps farther away from him.
He just got curious at the pretty little shimmering shells on the sand that seemingly created a path for him to follow.
So what does he do? Duh, he follows it.
As he does so, Jinwoo carefully picks up each shell so he can turn them into a cute little seashell necklace or crown for his baby sister who was just recently born. She's his little princess and he wants to make her as pretty as she possibly can because she is his baby angel.
While picking up the last shell, Jinwoo was startled and fell back when he heard a splash on the waters. He thought for sure that it is his father but instead he was met with a curious gaze peeking behind a moss-covered rock. The orbs were wide and beady, similar to his but more naive. Adorned on the stranger's head were several pearls acting like a glittering stars against the lovely wet strands.
Jinwoo had dropped all the precious seashells he had picked up, but was too distracted on your gaze that the sheepish boy cant help but fumble around on himself.
"E-erm..." Jinwoo speaks up, but soon panicked as he saw your frightened expression. "W-wait, no, no... Don't be scared! I won't hurt you, promise!"
He says, hurriedly lowering himself and then stretching his tiny palms out to you to show that he meant no harm.
Well, how could such bright and round grey eyes show hostility anyway?
So, you also started fumbling around, pushing yourself closer to the curious human and pressing his palms against yours.
Jinwoo seemed to have had his breath hitch when your skins had touched. He kept sputtering out nonesense, before his tiny little digits intertwined with your with his face red to the very tip of his ears.
"Pretty..." Jinwoo mumbles shyly.
It was an odd language to you, but somehow you could tell that this curious little human was very gentle.
And when you beamed, he grins right after.
Innocent and lovely smiles on both your precious faces.
Jinwoo tugs at your hand, leading you to the water so you two could play. He didn't seem to care at the fact that both of you are two different species. While he had legs that could walk and run, you had a lovely tail that you use to traverse the lovely oceans.
You showed Jinwoo the prettiest parts of the waters, while he in turn showed you some tricks he could do. From hopskotch to doing cartwheels and climbing trees just to see you beam as he swung upside down.
Your voice was soundless, and he understood that you did that to protect his ears. There were stories that a siren's voice can burst one's eardrums unless you are bonded to one.
Jinwoo didn't know how long he played with you, but he eventually became tired and just curiously stared into your pretty and dreamy orbs seemingly carved out of the milky way while your foreheads are pressed together.
He then feels a swirl in his heart, a faint, blue glow eminating from underneath the fabric of his shirt. The boy realizes the peculiar feeling, looking down at himself.
But weirdly enough, he wasn't a tad bit alarmed at the mystical sight.
Just as he was about to ask youâ Il-hwan's panicked and booming voice echoed from the forest behind the both of you and it instantly scared you away.
Jinwoo helplessly watched you dive into the waters, instantly disappearing into the distant blue.
As soon as Il-hwan sees his little boy, he immediately embraces a dumbfounded Jinwoo who was seemingly too frozen to say anything at all.
"Jinwoo, son, what has dad toldâ...." Il-hwan pauses, his words disappearing in his throat as he sees Jinwoo's tearful face.
"M-my siren"
"Siren?" Il-hwan scrunches his forehead.
"Dad, my siren!" Jinwoo yells, his face completely panicked as he starts to cry. "My siren, dad my siren! You have to get my siren back!"
"Jinwoo!..." Il-hwan's heart breaks at his son's wailing.
Jinwoo for one was never an insolent or needy child, he had always been good and obedient. Even a bit more closed off than most kids, he's a shy boy who never speaks much. But seeing the state of the poor child this distressed made Il-hwan's heart tremble with sadness.
All he could do was cradle the small boy who kept begging for him to find his dear siren.

Jinwoo could never really forget that day, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't. Not that he would want to anyway. It would be the same memory night after night.
The sight of that precious siren, how his father spent hours trying to console him a she had his mental breakdown about his precious little 'Friend'.
He would grow into a fine young man, too fine in fact.
The desire to meet you again burned in his heart like a flame dancing in the pits of hell.
Jinwoo wants to find you.
Jinwoo has to find you.
He needs to.
After all, he worked several years earning a reputation in the seas as a cruel tyrant. Not that he is really a villain, no, in factâ He was just passing by a bunch of bastards trying to hijack his shipâ The ship he spent hundreds of golds on in order for him to pursuit your missing figure. The nitwits just couldn't sit down and shut up for once.
He spent all of his youth practicing and preparing, researching as much as he can about sirens.
Their habitats, their breeding routes, and their most known locations.
Jinwoo is not an idiot, he actually returned to the very spot he had met you in but found no signs of siren activity. Not even a path of seashells was laid out anywhere even as he circled the shore hundreds of times.
Frustrating? Yes.
But nothing was more frustrating than the fact that all these fucking hooligan pirates were trying to ruin his chances of finding your precious existence in these vast oceans.
He can't waste time playing petty mind games and bargaining.
Jinwoo's gamble is him trying to find a sliver of your trace.
And as he stood bloodsoaked atop of the remains he had mauled so grotesquely, his head tilted upwards with the most faded and lifeless purple orbs gazing at the pouring rainâ He felt a sharp stab at his chest.
"Captain!" Beru wails, dropping his sword as he hurriedly assisted his master who had almost collapsed on the floor.
"My liege, you've pushed yourself too much" Bellion says as he took off his cloak and draped it over Jinwoo's figure who was still clutching his chest as if out of breath. "I beg you, captain, please breathe."
"I can't rest not," Jinwoo grits his teeth, moaning in pain as he feels another sharp stab in his heart.
It felt as though his insides are being burned alive, roasting him from within while his heart throbbed like it had a dagger embedded in it's flesh twisting so torturously slow.
Between death and this pain, Jinwoo would have rather chosen the afterlife if it weren't for the fact that he's so fixated on seeking for his precious siren.
His crew would gather around, panicking and attempting to be of help but to no avail
Since eventually, Jinwoo would have passed out from the agony he feels.

"It's not looking good," Igris sighs, running his hand through his long strands after patching up Jinwoo's chest with a bandage. "His injuries are getting more severe by the day."
"Where did it come from?" Beru asks hastily, gritting his teeth. "Did my liege's siren curse him?"
"Far from it," Igris explains. "If the siren had indeed cursed captain, then there is no reason why his the skin directly on top of his heart would rot and create cracks like it's made of glass. The injury not only affects his heart, but also eats him from the inside out. The black ichor spilling out of the wound shows that this is a divine punishment"
"Divine Punishment?!" Beru bellows, his expression turning dark. "Our liege is a gentle soul, why would he of all the bastards of this godforsaken world would suffer such ailment?!"
"Beru, your temper." He sighs, pulling the blanket up to Jinwoo so that their captain could rest more easily. "He has not offended any god, nor is he being punished for his misdeeds."
He takes a deep breath, "It's the aftereffects of being seperated from their mate."
"Mate? But our liege is human?" Beru inquires, flabbergasted.
"Yes, but he has bonded with a siren" Igris scoffs, crossing his arms as if mocking Beru's lack of comprehension. "Our liege told us of the story, of how he met a lovely little siren his age when he was but a wee little lad. A glow suddenly emanated from his chest as if there was a star being planted in his body. That is a typical way for sirens to propose innocently. And our liege has wholly accepted the bonding ritual. Unfortunately, the siren had fled. Prolonged separation from one's mate can result in the symptom's our liege has been showing. His young body is strong hence why he could keep the injuries at bay most of the time. But it seems that our captain will reach his limit soon if we do not find that siren soon."
"...." Beru droops, feeling hopeless.
"Best we let him rest for tonight," Igris simply taps his shoulder, signaling for his colleague to leave the captain's quarters too.

Jinwoo had woken up in the middle of the night, he was completely exhausted from the battle that took place in the afternoon.
He reached out and downed the mug of water waiting at his bedside before getting up and donning a coat over his shoulders to take a simple walk on the empty deck.
"Where are you, really?" Jinwoo sighs, bringing his finger up where a tiny little fish made of water playfully nuzzled his digit. "My darling bride, how am I to gift you all the treasures I've coveted if I cant even have you here, hm?"
Jinwoo had discovered that the little fish friend he had been secretly summoning from his heart was in fact a proof that he and the siren had bonded. If humans had their rings, sirens would have these little creatures as proof of sacramental union.
It was adorable, really.
Sure, one could say that he is only searching for the siren with the sole purpose of prolonging his life but that wasn't his goal.
No.
Even if the bond didn't exist, Jinwoo would still choose the same path as he does now.
If he dies, his siren would die too.
And as a stubborn, reckless and steadfast king of the pirates who even has power above the holy king himselfâ Jinwoo wouldn't back down in this.
So long as he sees a star twinkling above the unruly oceans, he will continue to sail in search of his precious bride.
ê° A/N: Wont be making any fics for the next two weeks because exams yay but this will have a part 2 so dw and be patient xD... I'll let this marinate ê±

Ardent (Qimir x Ex Jedi reader)
The beginning Part One of Ardent
Ratings: Angst | Fluff | Strangers to Friends | Friends to Lovers | Abuse | Violence | Questioning the Jedi order | Slowburn
Summary: You have been by his side since the beginning⊠This is your story.
The best down on your form in the training arena located outside. Hundreds of flowers decorated around the outside arena making it serene despite the structure and rigorous exercises you had to go through, but you believed that each test made you stronger and you would become a noble Jedi like your master.
âFix your form padawan.â Your master pointed at the wrong position of your right foot.
âApologies master.â You swiftly fixed your form hoping that you appeased her.
It seemed to work as Master Elysande gave you an appreciative nod, âWell done. Now I want you to concentrate on the way the branch moves on the tree in front of you. Mimic this movement until your energy matchesâŠâ
You listened intently to your master, her black hair braided to fall behind her pointed ears. As you nodded your head you caught movement toward the right of your vision and it was at that moment Qimir walked by, following ardently behind his master, Master Balaam.
His hair fell delicately around his face despite the other padawanâs cutting theirs short to make it easier for training. His padawan braid reach just past his shoulder however, his beads reminding you of the ocean. He kept his gaze on the dark grey robe his master wore, walking swiftly behind him. The small action allowed you to admire him silently from afar. To say that you had a small crush on the boy was an understatement, but you did notice one important detail about him.
Qimir was always⊠Quiet.
You noticed that he tended to keep to himself. He never made a face or spoke against his master. You however were quiet the opposite. You were loud and spirited. You had a million questions, ones that only a few that your master would indulge in. Master Elysande choose you because of your active imagination and bright look about the galaxy. She would say it gave you a footing over the other padawanâs when it came to the force because of how strong your connection was to life around you.
You were quite friendly, but when it came to Qimir⊠Well you felt as if your words were stuck in your throat and you couldnât push yourself to speak. He didnât speak to you either and it would always end with you watching him wordlessly.
Other padawanâs such as your friend Gerel speculated that he was mute. You didnât think she could possibly be right. Ifa just thought that Qimir was strange agreeing with the others. You however were curious about the tall silent boy. You wanted to learn more about him, speak with him and perhaps be friends. You thought that you both would make the perfect pair however, with your daydream you didnât expect his eyes to lock onto yours. Suddenly your cheeks began to burn and you knew it wasnât just from the heat.
âPadawan.â Master Elysande called out to you again for the third time, âFocus.â
You cleared your throat hoping that your cheeks would cool down as you turned your attention back to your master.
âSorry master.â You muttered quickly though secretly you were counting down the minutes until you saw him again.
It seemed that the force was on your side
âWe will begin this new year with something that is a little different from our traditional training. Each of you will be partnering up with one another to improve your connection to the force as well as your combat skills. This partnership will carry on as you become Jediâs.â Master Aarati explained, âIt is up to you to choose your partner wisely so that you may become knowledgeable in the force.â
You were excited for the revelation as you twiddled your fingers under your robes. This was the perfect moment to talk to Qimir without being too pushy. You thought as you looked around.
âDo you want toââ Ifa began, but you couldnât let Ifa finish what they were going to say.
âIâm really sorry but I already have a partner in mind.â You spoke quickly, âMaybe next time!â You called back to your friend as you dove into the crowd. You had a mission and you had your nerves at least for now.
You couldnât mess this up. You wouldnât be able to live with yourself if you did.
Your master also thought you were a bit dramatic in your training as well.
You weaved around padawanâs trying to pick their own partners as you spotted a mop of dark raven hair. Please donât have a partner⊠Please donât have a partner⊠You thought as you finally broke past the hive of padawanâs.
There he stood, looking a bit out of place beside his master. He had his hands clasped behind his back and his gaze looked indifferent as you approached him.
âMaster Balaam.â You greeted his master first with a bow before turning your attention to Qimir, âQimirâŠâ You took a breath, âWould you like to be my partner for this trial?â
You waited with a bated breath as his eyes roamed your figure. You knew you didnât have anything special or unique about you like some of the other padawanâs, but you were content in being normal. He however⊠Was not.
âNo.â
That was the first word he ever said to you⊠No.
The rejection made you feel embarrassed and singled out as you stood there awkwardly.
âNo?â You wanted to be sure, âAre you sure you donâtââ
âI am always certain in what I say.â He replied.
âOhâŠâ Your voice trailed off.
His master didnât seem to make the situation any lighter as he stared silently through your soul. Your master however could sense the growing unease inside of you and gracefully took her place by your side once more.
âIs there a problem?â She directed her question to Master Balaam.
âShe is too frail to train with my padawan. Qimir needs someone who can match his strength with the force.â Master Balaam answered indifferently as if this conversation was wasting his time.
âI see.â Elysande nodded and you had to refrain from laughing at the way she was trying intently not to roll her eyes, âBut before you judge the strength of my padawan by her looks alone. How about we allow our padawanâs to duel. A test of sorts should do the trick in proving you wrong.â
At that you couldnât help but snort. The reaction received a gentle nudge from your master to quiet you down.
âShe wonât last.â Master Balaam said.
âWeâll see about that.â Your master motioned for you to follow her, âFollow us.â She spoke and you were quick to grace her side.
âThat is the boy you were distracted by is it not?â Elysande asked softly. She held no disgust or disappointment in her tone, only a light curiosity that allowed you to open up to her more freely.
You nodded speaking quietly, ïżœïżœHe is⊠Different from the others.â
âDifferent is not always a good thing. Difference can lead you astray from the path.â Your master passed on wisdom.
âI understand master.â You nodded your head.
You found yourself underneath the only plum tree in your temple. You were facing against Qimir who seemed tense under the watchful gaze of his master.
âThis should be quick.â Master Balaam commented and crossed his arms.
Those sharp words had you grinding your teeth as a determined expression took over your usual soft features. You would not be bested by those who think less of you. You readied yourself, holding your lightsaber in first position.
Qimir ignited his lightsaber, holding it in a familiar stance. He didnât seem tense anymore as if he was in his element. You could see that he liked the feel of power from the way his fingers opened and closed around his blue lightsaber.
Your green one flickered against your eyes and you counted down silently at the same time as your master.
âBegin.â Master Elysande said.
You charged Qimir with speed, ready to take him down with the new move you learned, but he sensed your plan and diverted it with a single step. You stumbled towards the tree and you would have face planted against it too if it werenât for Qimir pulling you back by your right arm.
âAccount for your opponents steps. Focus on their movements and not just your own.â He said softly.
You looked up at him before nodded your head and taking a step back, âOkay.â
You returned to your starting spot with a new frame of mind. It was something your master picked up immediately as she watched you take your time to attack Qimir instead of just rushing in.
âThey complement one another.â Master Elysande commented as you told Qimir to be more aggressive when using the force, âThis new training technique may be affective for the future of Jedi.â
âI donât think it is a good thing.â Said Master Balaam motioned to you and Qimir with his head, âThis trial for a new training technique could form attachments amongst the padawan.â
Master Elysande remained quiet in thought wondering if what Master Balaam was explaining could come true.
You continued to spar alongside Qimir. However, you were no match for his quick and precise movements. It was clear that he was being trained relentlessly by his master to become the perfect Jedi. In the end as he pinned you to the ground. Qimir stood over you with his lightsaber pointed at your neck.
âWell done.â Your master nodded her head in approval and you smiled despite losing.
Master Balaam however said nothing as Qimir looked at him. You could see the way his shoulders slumped only slightly and you could only imagine how dejected he must feel. That is why you brought his attention back to you and tried to cheer him up.
âGood fight.â You took a deep breath. It was quite a work out and exhaustion overtook you.
He turned off his lightsaber and clipped it back onto his belt, âIt was.â He said as he stuck his hand out towards you.
You took it gratefully and allowed him to pull you up, âSo does this mean that you will have me as your partner?â
âYââ Qimir didnât get a chance to give his answer before Master Balaam tugged him back by his robe.
âNo.â Master Balaam stated as he stepped in front of him, âYouâve only proven to me how reckless you are young padawan.â
âShe has only proven to be a good match for Qimir.â Master Elysande intervened, âThey can hone their skills by working together.â She clasped her hands over her stomach, âI believe that their differences can bring the best out of each other.â
âOr the worst.â Master Balaam waved his hand dismissively, âCome padawan. Let us go.â
Qimir glanced at you with a sad look in his eyes before following his masterâs order. You looked to your master with wide and expressive eyes that showed how upset you were at not being paired with Qimir.
âWait.â Master Elysande called out to Balaam, âLetâs us see what the council thinks.â
You never knew how much you appreciated your master until that very moment.
You stood behind your master as she explained to the council the benefits of pairing both you and Qimir together.
âWe decided on this trial for a reason. I believe these two will be a successful case by the time they become Jedi knights.â Master Elysande explained.
âIt is a foolish dream driven by a desire to put your padawan ahead. She is not as skilled as Qimir and never will be. I do not see any reason why they should continue to train together.â Master Balaam countered.
You peaked over at Qimir as the council murmured about what they should do about this predicament. Qimir didnât show any emotion on his face. He looked calm as his hands were clasped behind his back. He didnât show the childlike personality that the two of you should have at your age.
He wonât look over at me either. He must know that I am staring at him. You thought, a small disappointed frown on your face as you focused your attention back on your master. You wanted to joke with him, perhaps make him laugh at the audacity that his master had.
âWe incline to agree with Master Elysande.â Master Charvik finally announced.
Master Faheem whose eyes shine of the brightest ocean and skin the color of turquoise to accent her gills also chimed in, âI have had a vision through the force as well. I believe that the force has called the two together for a reason⊠One I do not understand, but a reason that will create a strong bond within the force.â
âI agree with your wisdom Master Faheem.â Master Charvin said, the cloth wrapped around his hands slightly unraveled as he motioned for the meeting to come to an end.
Relief filled your lungs as you breathed out. You were nervous about what Master Faheem saw in her vision, but excited to continue your training with Qimir. You only hoped that he felt the same way⊠You just wanted to become as strong as he was. To understand his way of the force.
âThen it is settled.â Master Balaamâs jaw was clenched, but he didnât show any other signs of anger, âQimir will continue his training alongside Master Elysandeâs padawan. Let us hope that your vision is not wrong Master Faheem.â A thin frown graced his lips as a sour tone overtook his tone.
The council paid no mind to Master Balaamâs dismay over the matter and did what they did best, hide their feelings.
âThank you for your thoughts and decision on this subject.â Master Elysande nodded her head towards the Jedi council before turning to leave the room. You fell into step with her as the two of you left, you with a pep in your step as you walked.
As you and your master internally commended your victory, you made a silent vow to bake master Elysande the best batch of muffins she had ever tasted in thanks to her. In your promise you turned your head to find Master Balaam and Qimir walk past the both of you.
You didnât expect anything from them so it came as a surprise when you felt a tiny scroll of paper being slipped into your small hand. Qimir didnât speak of it as he continued to follow his master who was swiftly trying to get past you.
Your heart raced as you waited until you were in the safety of your room to unroll the piece of paper. It was then that you knew even as young as you were that he was going to be apart of your life forever. Your very first crush created just from a few words scrawled on a piece of paper.
Meet me by the plum tree tonight. I really
Thank you. â Q

Liquid Luck
Carl Grimes x Reader (16+)
Aged up Carl Grimes x Reader soft smut
Synopsis: Carl and you are not friends. So whatâs gonna happen when youâre locked in a room together with a bottle of whiskey?
Warnings: Dick, dick getting sucked, no fully blown sex just oral, Carl is a cutie, also itâs a zombie apocalypse thereâs gonna be zombies, plus various weapons and very brief nondescript violence.
Words: 3,843
It all started with a bad raid. We figured we could sneak into the pharmacy, get the medicine for Hershel, and then get out without attracting any attention.
Rick and Daryl stayed outside and kept watch while he sent you and Carl to take care of the rest.
That was it, straightforward, in and out.
Or at least it had been.
A week prior Glenn had put a boombox on the rooftop of the place to attract the walkers out and up instead of prowling the streets and the building.
The windows were almost all broken. Either by walkers or raiders, we didnât know. But it sure was convenient when the door turned out to be locked.
You watched Carl adjust the brim of his hat and narrow his eyes at a broken square window a few feet above his head.
âI think I can fit,â he stated firmly, casting you a sidelong glance, quickly looking back at Rick when you made eye contact.
He had never been outright rude to you; he had never been anything to you. He had only introduced himself with a short greeting and a tight smile. He seemed much more open with everyone else yet standoffish around you.
âThe kid can fit too,â agreed Daryl, nodding towards you. Heâd always called you that despite you being the same age as Carl.
Carlâs face dropped as he glanced at you again. âI can do it by myself.â
âNo, you canât,â ordered Rick. âWe donât know how many walkers are still in there. Youâre taking her with you.â
He sighed. Did he really not like you this much?
Before you had come to a conclusion Daryl had laid a leather jacket over the jagged glass in the frame before he and Rick boosted Carl into the window.
âIâll make sure itâs safe!â He hollered from inside the building. There was some scuffling inside for a moment before he yelled âItâs clear!â
Next thing you knew you were standing in their respective interlaced fingers and they boosted you up to the window. You grabbed the edges and dove in. It wasnât until you let go of the window frame that you realized that you, unlike Carl, were falling face first instead of feet first.
Luckily, you were met with the last type of relief you expected. Carl grabbed your waist, slowing your descent enough to use your own momentum to turn you so you landed on your feet. His hands linger on your waist as you stand chest to chest with him. You look up at him through your lashes, breathing heavily. His face is red, probably from exertion.
Just before you can thank him he pulls quickly away, looking down nervously. You lower your head into his line of sight so that he makes eye contact with you.
âThank you,â you say with a smile.
He nods shortly before taking out his knife and heading towards a door. âThis way.â
You follow him, Michoneeâs old sword she had given you in hand as you follow him closely, checking your surroundings avidly. Both of you continuously glanced up at the ceiling, which creaked under the weight of anywhere from fifty to one hundred walkers.
Your shoe nudged something on the groundâ a bottle of whiskey. You quickly stooped and picked it up, putting it in one of the pockets of your oversized cargos.
You make your way to the back of the building, into the section where the pills are stored.
âWhat are we looking for again?â You ask.
âPromethazine, itâs anti-nausea medication for throwing up. Hershelâs worried the vomit from people with the flu in town could make it more contagious.â He replies, examining bottles instead of looking at you.
With a soft frown at his bland attitude, you wander to the âPâ section, browsing for promethazine.
You found five prefilled prescriptions made out to various, probably now dead, people.
âCarl,â you call, holding up a handful of amber pill bottles.
âNice one,â he says, a genuine smile on his face. The first time heâs smiled at you. It was a nice smile. You felt your face heat up as you smiled as well.
Carl turned around for you to put the meds in his backpack. You brush his hair out of the way and he whips his head around immediately.
âW-whatâre you doing back there?â
âMaking sure your hair doesnât get caught in the zipper,â you reply simply.
He relaxes as you unzip the bag and place the medications inside.
Just as you were zipping the beg, a loud creaking sound resounded from the ceiling. Carl and you glanced at each other with wide eyes.
âThis way,â he commanded, taking your hand and leading â practically dragging â you through the pharmacy. The thumping on the roof was becoming more prominent and you could hear gunshots from outside.
You were practically running now as the sounds became nearly overwhelming. You were near the doctor's office section of the building when the ceiling began to give.
âShit,â you muttered as the ceiling tiles began to fall.
Carlâs hand was on your waist again, this time snatching you out of the way of something fallingâ a walker, collapsed on the ground where you had just been standing.
Everything was happening so fast, and next thing you knew the ground was littered with walkers, all focused on the two of you. Your sword could only do so much as you slashed at the hoard, managing to take out two in one blow as you attempted to keep them at bay.
When Carlâs hands were on your waist again this time you didnât question itâ he snatched you backwards and into a room, where he slammed the door closed and locked it.
It was a check up office; it contained white brick walls and linoleum tile. In the corner was an oak desk with a monitor and sanitary supplies stacked on it. There was a cot against the opposite wall and various equipment hanging from the walls.
The thudding at the door where Carl stood jarred you back to reality, spurring you to grab the desk and shove at it. It had to be at least four hundred pounds. Carl pulled from the other side and together you managed to use it to barricade the door. He collapsed against the cot, panting.
You joined him, holding up your hands in a calming gesture as he looked at you with a shaky, nervous expression.
âWell, shit,â he muttered with an ironic chuckle.
âProbably gonna be in here for a while,â you sighed.
âYeah,â he muttered bitterly.
Why donât you like me?
The words almost came out of your mouth, but it wasnât the right time. Instead you just looked at him, with a resigned expression.
You take the whiskey from your pocket and open it, taking a swig. After drinking with Daryl it didnât phase you too much anymore, but he stared at you with a shocked expression, cheeks dusted pink.
âWhere did you get that?â
âStore,â you replied simply, holding out the bottle to him.
After a moment of hesitation he took it, taking a swig with a grimace. âHow do you drink that shit?â He laughs.
He laughed. A real laugh. Itâs your first time hearing it. You want to hear more of it.
âDaryl,â you explain simply and he nods with a groan.
âI see,â he takes another drink and passes the bottle back to you.
Itâs called liquid courage for a reason, you think. Thatâs all the convincing it takes for you to start chugging the bottle. You get about five swallows down before Carlâs hands, one on the bottle and one on your jaw, stop you from going further.
âDonât overdo it,â he chides you gently.
You nod dumbly, watching a drop make its way down his neck, tracing his adamâs apple as he takes another drink. You notice the way his lips pucker around the mouth of the bottle and you force yourself to look away.
After a moment of silence he speaks again.
âWanna play truth or dare?â
You look at him in surprise, hesitating for a moment.
âOnly if you want toââ he starts nervously before you cut him off with a simple statement.
âSure.â
He looks at you in relief, clearly afraid to have overstepped before smiling, a bit anxiously. âTruth or dare?â
âDare,â you donât hesitate; they really do call it liquid courage for a reason.
He glanced around the room before his eyes land on the stethoscope. âI dare you to give me a checkup?â He phrases it as a question so you donât feel forced. Cute.
You grab various medical equipment, wrapping the stethoscope around your neck with a drunken grin. âIâm your doctor, Iâll be giving you your physical,â you say in your best attempt at a deep voice. You were clearly already drunk. Normally you wouldâve felt stupid but with the heartwarming giggle he let out paired with an over dramatic eyeroll, you felt nothing but at ease.
As you begin measuring his heart rate he swallows hard, his pink cheeks darkening to red. His heart thumped steadily; quickly.
âTruth or dare,â you murmur as you measure his vitals.
âUhâŠâ he swallowed hard, eyes flickered from your hands against his chest to your face, feigning focus. âDare.â
âTake your shirt off,â you say with an innocent grin. He blanches, surprised. âTo check your vitals better. Only if you want to.â You assure him sweetly.
In a moment he was struggling to pull his shirt off, disoriented from the alcohol.
Next thing you know your hands are running down his sides to the hem of his shirt. Halfway through struggling out of his shirt he looks up at you from his sitting position, face still read and panting. You gently tug his shirt upwards, prompting him to pull his arms through the holes and you pull it over his head.
You giggle at the state of his hair, correcting it without hesitation.
âReal soft,â you muse as you gently sweep his hair out of his face. The poor boy looks overwhelmed as he stares up at you, arms wrapped around himself nervously.
You gently move the arm he has wrapped around his chest, pressing the stethoscope there once more. His heart is beating almost worryingly fast.
âYou okay hon?â You ask gently.
âMhm,â he manages, seeming to have a hard time speaking.
âOkay,â you murmur, putting the stethoscope on various places around his chest, pretending to know what youâre doing.
âTruth- uh truth or dare,â he chokes out.
âDare,â you repeat, this time even more sure than the last.
âCan you uhm.. touch my hair again?â He wasnât making eye contact at all now, seemingly fascinated by his jeans as he stares down, still adorned by that bright blush.
In a second your hands are in his hair. Even when you hadnât been talking you were fascinated by his hair. Rick had caught you staring several times and always met you with a soft smile or a laugh, whereas Daryl arched his eyebrow with a slight grin.
His hair really was soft, soft as hell. You rubbed a single strand between your fingers before trailing your fingers from his roots to the ends of his hair. You secure your hands around his scalp, threading your fingers through his hair as you continue to play with it, enamored.
You hadnât even noticed his face, eyes closed, mouth open, breathing deeply.
You lean in closer and murmur by his ear. âTruth or dare.â
His eyes flicker open and he breathes for a moment. âTruth.â
âWhy do you avoid me back at camp?â He froze.
âI-I donât,â he lied, resulting in a small tug to his hair. He draws in a sharp breath, looking up at you surprised.
âDonât lie,â you chide.
âYou make me nervous,â he admitted after a moment of silence. âPeople usually donât make me nervous, but you do.â He was once again apparently entranced by his jeans so you cup his jaw gently, bringing his gaze up to meet your own.
âI like making you nervous. But not all the time. I like talking to you, Carl,â you explain in a soft voice.
He looks up at you with a genuine involuntary smile.
âReally?â He breathes.
âYes,â you whisper, realizing how much closer you had gotten, your hand still settled on his jaw.
âUm⊠truth or dare?â
âDare,â you repeat, adamant on forcing him out of his comfort zone.
âIs it okay if Iâ can I please, uhmââ
âDo whatever you want, Carl,â you interrupt him. âI trust you.â
His eyes widen at that and he finally rises to his feet. A familiar feeling. His hands on your waist. His grasp is awkward this time, less sure of himself when heâs not saving your life. When itâs a choice to be touching you.
He tugs you a bit closer and his eyes flicker to your lips. You know what heâs trying to do and you know heâs scared to do it.
Your hands are still in his hair and you use that to your advantage, pulling him towards you and letting him close the distance, giving you a hesitant kiss. His lips are a little chapped, but theyâre plush and soft. He tastes like whiskey, and youâre sure you do too. Heâs inexperienced; this might be his first kiss, you realize.
You follow that kiss with another chaste one pressed against his lips ever so gently.
âFeel good?â You murmur, forehead resting against his with your eyes closed.
âMhm,â he hums, barely audible as he lets out another shakey breath. You know his eyes are closed too.
Youâre both reveling. In each other's presence. Just breathing each other in as his arms move to loosely wrap around your waist instead of simply placing his hands there.
There it is. Thatâs right.
His hands on your waist were sweet but his arms encircling your waist was just right.
You pull him in for another slow kiss, heads tilted, mouth moving and prompting his to do the same, teaching him as best you could without saying a word.
âWow,â he gasps against your lips. You try to give him a chance to explain his exclamation by pulling away, but he pulls you back in.
You slide your tongue over his bottom lip, hoping for him to part his lips a bit more and in response he gives your tongue a light suck, pulling it into his mouth and letting out a soft whine as he does.
Your kiss evolves in passion as his hand starts traveling over your body. It slides up your waist and onto your ribs, just shy of your boob. The other stays securely wrapped around your waist as though heâs attempting to anchor you to him.
As much as you adore the feeling of his lips, you pull away. His brow furrows, eyes still shut as he leans forward for another kiss, his lips chasing yours with a small sound of displeasure after you pull away.
You tug his hair, gently prompting him to tilt his head to the side to give you access to his neck. You start by pressing soft kisses there, a trail from his jaw to the base of his neck, before retracing your steps with parted lips, allowing yourself to taste the sweet musky skin of his neck.
He lets out a choked whimper before covering his mouth with his hand. Not on your watch. You immediately grab his hand, pulling it down to your tit. He lets out a shakey gasp as he grasps at the soft flesh, groaning softly as he squeezes experimentally.
âThank you..â he murmurs, eyes still screwed shut.
âOf course sweetheart,â you smile against his neck. He shivers at the nickname, giving you a minor power trip.
You begin sucking the flesh of his neck into your mouth where you begin biting gradually before biting harder to leave dark marks. You leave one by his jaw before remembering Rick, and what his reaction would be. You press a quick kiss to the mark before shoving him down on the cushioned exam cot, straddling him.
Thatâs when you notice the tent in his pants. He glances down at the point where your crotches met, biting his lip nervously. âS-sorryââ he started.
âDonât be,â you assure him, leaning down to begin littering his chest with kisses.
You start the marks by his collarbone, before moving down to his chest. He was whimpering without restraint now, back arched.
His hand was moving up your body, down your arm, and to your hand. He held your hand, giving it a soft squeeze before simply holding your hand.
âCan I.. can I haveââ he cut himself off with a small whimper before you stopped your ministrations.
âUse your words sweetheart.â
He groans slightly at that. âCan Iâ I wanna kiss.â He squeezes your hand again.
You lean up and meet him halfway with a soft kiss. Heâs better now. Heâs more prepared. You run your tongue along his bottom lip and he gladly parts them, granting you entry. He opens his mouth a bit too wide, but you donât mind. You pull back slightly, pulling away and following it with a chaste, soft kiss before continuing where you left offâ his chest.
You continue sucking dark hickies along his chest, leaving a trail of bites and kisses down to his belly. A faint covering of dark hairs spreads from just about his belly button, trailing down to below the band of his jeans.
You let out a soft sigh of desire, lightly caressing his happy trail with the tip of your fingers. He shudders softly and you watch his cock twitch through his jeans. He begins to apologize again, cutting himself off with a soft groan when you plant a firm kiss to where his happy trail disappears under his jeans.
You tug softly at the button on his jeans. âCan I?â You ask, looking up at him through your lashes.
He blinks in shock, looking down at you with wide eyes and a flushed face, mouth agape. âA-are you sure?â
âYes,â you chuckle.
He responds with a small nod, still clearly shocked. You make quick work of undoing his pants, tugging them down before looking up at him with a small nod, prompting him to climb to his feet and shed his pants, quickly clambering back onto the bench. You swing your leg over the base of his thighs, straddling them.
Youâre quick to feel him up, groping at his straining cock.
Freeing his cock you glance up at him in surprise, Heâs packing. Six, maybe seven inches, not too wide â you could probably fit your hand perfectly around it â with a pretty pink tip, practically dripping precum. You test your earlier theory by experimentally wrapping your hand around his cock, eliciting a whine from him.
He swallows hard before looking down at you. âAre you s-sure? Youâre comfortable?â
You nod. âI want to do this for you sweet boy.â
He smiles softly, letting his head fall back and his eyes flutter shut. âThank you,â he sighs happily.
You lean down and kiss the head of his cock, causing him to jolt slightly. After lapping at the slit of his cock you take the head into your mouth. He gasps, bucking his hips.
Without warning you grab him by the hips and force him back against the cot which draws another whimper out of him as he pathetically attempts to squirm his hips closer to your mouth. You tut your tongue and pull away until he stops moving.
âPlease,â he whines, struggling.
You decide to grant mercy on the poor boy, taking his head into your mouth once again. One arm forcing his hips against the table, you wrap the other hand around his cock and gently squeeze. He sighs happily, breath hitching as you begin moving your hand. Rotating it gradually as you move your hand up and down, you allow some of your saliva to drip from the head of his cock into your hand.
You use it as lubricant to begin pumping your hand up and down his cock faster, limp wristed as you continue lapping at the head of his cock. He arches his back more and whines.
Just as you begin taking more of his cock into your mouth his hand flies to the back of your head, threading his fingers through your hair before squeezing, clearly doing his best to hold back from pulling your hair too hard.
âMmh..â he moans softly, gripping at your hair firmly and applying slight pressure.
Suddenly you take as much as possible into your mouth, deepthroating him without warning. He lets out a sharp moan, gripping your hair tighter before releasing his grip in a slight panic as he realizes what heâs doingâ itâs cute how hard heâs trying to hold back.
You use your tongue mostly, swirling it around his cock to the best of your ability as you begin bobbing your head up and down. You use one hand to massage his hard balls, ready to burst already. With that you remember that heâs a virgin, and you probably shouldnât be teasing him so much.
This whole time heâs been making the most lewd noises, moaning and letting out small whimpers to the rhythm of you bobbing your head. His cock twitches in your mouth, prompting you to go faster to help him through.
You release his hips and meet his eyes when he gives you a confused glance, silently giving him permission. Experimentally, he bucks his hips, moaning before falling into a steady rhythm, his hips rising and falling shakily against your mouth.
He grips your hair even tighter, bringing tears to your eyes as you gag on his cock. After less than ten seconds he releases his load down your throat. Despite your attempts to swallow it dribbles out of your mouth and down his cock.
The low groan he had released had tapered off into a moan, sighing as he finally collapsed from his high. As he lays there, chest heaving, you slowly climb on top of him, collapsing there and cuddling into him.
He turns and kisses the top of your head, his wide smile unknown to you.
âI think Iâm less nervous around you now,â he murmurs into your hair.
You smile softly as he places his hand on your waist once again. âGood,â
Thank god for liquid courage.
They cleared the pharmacy of walkers eventually, and by the time they reached you the two of you were cleaned up.
You came out swinging, having to run to the truck.
The two of you ended up so battered and bruised Rick didnât even think to mention the bruise at the base of Carlâs jaw, and the one on his collarbone, just visible when he wore tank tops.
You saved the whiskey for next time.

âŁââ Ë đ. ⧠yandere! batfam + dc heroes x yandere! alien! reader (ft. ocs of mine, and other dc characters)

in short this was an oc insert of mine that i reconfigured for you guys to read. not your thing? scroll past thenks.
[next]
YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE KINDEST, MOST LOVING PERSON THE BAT-FAMILY EVER KNEW. You were so gracious with your benevolence that each and every vigilante took it upon themselves to take care of you at all moments lest you fall into unsafe situations or the hands of people who would ruthlessly take advantage of you.
Eventually, they forgot the fact that you were the sibling of the notoriously violent DAYBREAK, a vigilante that could be easily called a villain or terrorist instead if it werenât for his close affiliation and friendship with the old Teen Titans crew when he was younger. He helped once in a while, but only if it meant he had free rein to cause carnage.
âThis is useless, they wonât fess up.â Jason grunted as he fumbled around with his weapons, all broken after the battle just moments prior. Aliens and their abilities always made him feel so small in the grand scheme of things, and especially when they completely obliterated his entire arsenal.
Tim groaned, his back ached from the amount of times he was flung away towards whatever wall or ally the enemy wanted him to go to. He was used to being man-handled and even enjoyed that once in a while, but not in that way. âArenât they one of your kind? Cant you like⊠I donât knowâŠâ
Your brother huffed, a pout on his pretty features. Quite similar to yours. Yet, he doesnât spare the rest a glance. His eyes were trained solely on a restraining spell he managed to conjure as a last ditch attempt to stop the fight before it got . . . irreversible. Usually heâd just disintegrate whatever or whoever even looked at him wrong but even this titan-like intruder was proving to be a pain in the ass. âI canât believe you, doesnât mean weâre the same kind or whatever that means thatââ
âHeâll be lucky to be even considered as one of us, filthy ââ The massive form spoke. Its metal like body clanging as it struggled in the spellâs area of effect. A soldier from your home planet, not as well trained as your brother â but he was brimming with aetherial ardor. A sort of magic source your people used.
âOkay, thatâs it.â [Brotherïżœïżœs Name] groaned, summoning the last piece of his strength to open up a terminal. âHey mooncake, need ya to do something for me.â
âNo, we arenât letting [Y/N] anywhere near this one. They could get seriously hurt. We were barely even able toââ Dick held him by the shoulder, only to get burned by your brotherâs leaking ardorial energy.
âRelax. Besides Iâm not in your team. I donât have to follow orders from you.â
âDaybrââ Rachel, her cape almost completely burnt and tattered opened her mouth to admonish him.
But the sound of your sweet voice (more like hoarse, and half awake) silenced them all, âWhat do you need help with this time?â
â[L/N] donât listen, go back to sleep, beloved.â Damian moved in from behind, learning from Dickâs mistake and instead using his blade to warn [Brotherâs Name].
But if anything, that made the man more excited to annoy the âdemonspawnâ.
âOh, mooncake you canât believe who I stumbled upon today! Smile for the camera why donât you?â
[Brotherâs Name] flipped the terminal to show your face.
âYouâre . . . General [Y/ââ
And then flipped it back, showing his injured body. âHe hurt me real bad. Look.â
Your face does not move nor your voice waver,
âCome back to the base.â
âNo.â Black Canary, Dinah, slammed her hands on the table. She couldnât believe this. It was already bad that they allowed you to be involved in their line of work, now they were letting you come face to face with a being that almost wiped an entire team of experience fighters? What were they thinking?
âThat . . . thing is dangerous. We cannot allow this to continue!â Arthur concurred. He saw the state of your brother. A civilian like you had no business with something so dangerous.
âUnfortunately I have to say no to your refusal as well.â You calmly responded, âThis situation is under the jurisdiction of the Fleet. It is only right that Daybreak and I deal with it.â
âFather you canât possibly allow them.â Damian gripped your shoulder as he pleaded with Bruce. He had known you the longest next to Tim. You were barely able to hold your own as a normal student. Not that he was looking down on you, but if you couldnât even fight for yourself in conversation, how could he let you be around that monster?
Bruce closed his eyes in deep contemplation. He studied your kind comprehensively. He did so for every vigilante and villain alike (Contingencies were his specialty) From how your magic system worked, to how society and customs were like. A lot of his knowledge came from Clark, who had also done his fair share of investigative work into your background.
He of all people in this line of work knew how dangerous you and [Brotherâs Name] can be. He had done his calculations based off of what Daybreak could do. But curiosity drove him further.
âFine.â
âFather!â
âBut the whole league will be watching you, alongside the Young Justice and Teen Titans.â
âSheesh, overkill much?â Daybreak, now plain [Brotherâs Name] in a bunch of casts, piped up.
You nodded, quite honestly just aching to get out from this stuffy room already. âThat is fine.â
Before you left, you head swiveled to take one last look at your sibling, building up whatever emotions you needed to see the job through, âGet some rest, brother.â
âAre you kidding? I gotta watch this.â Your brother laughed in earnest, almost-too-wholesome-for-him manner. You managed to understand why as his eyes scanned the people in the room.
He wanted to see them react to your true nature.
Your form finally disappeared from his sight as his eyes finally settled on another image of you glued atop a folder. âWhat are those?â He pouts to gesture at the objects, too injured to move his limbs.
âFiles on [Y/N] and the being.â Bruce answered, opening up the screens for the cameras to the interrogation room.
[Brotherâs Name] knows youâd give him a sermon for using his powers while he was already banged up but he had no choice. His arms were too broken to open up the folder after all. âYou guys work quick.â He commented as the papers levitated and flipped through itself.
His eyes scanned the typewritten document swiftly, smile growing by the moment, âPffft â kind hearted soul? Who wrote this?â
âIt was compiled by me, but our sources vary from vigilante to civilians.â Clark mumbled. As one of the only other aliens, and people who could feel aetherial arbor. He felt your presence, your anger leaking earlier. It was heavy, as if the world was suddenly placed upon his shoulders. Yet he felt no fear for his own safety, only yours.
The gigantic door before you slid open revealing the enemy the vigilantes struggled to subdue earlier.
The soldier stood upright, sensing your presence. The rumors were true it would seem. Many wouldnât be able to spot it, a testament to whatever you did to conceal your prowess, but they immediately recognized the magnitude of your ardor practically oozing around you.
He was expecting your anger. He knew of your protective nature towards your brother.
âMy apologies.â But you didnât. Instead you began nursing their injuries, repairing their armor, and even initiating casual conversation. âIt must have been a long journey. I canât help but resent whoever sent you here.â
âYour Excellency! I came of my own volition.â
âOh? But judging from your armor you must be one of the knights.â
âYes, 512th Squadron of the Imperial Army.â
âOf course, my eldest brotherâs . . . â Your fought to keep your hands from clenching. A gentle smile on your features remained unshaken even by the sudden revelation.
âY-yes, your Excellency. It took many jumps for me to get here on my own.â
âAlone? What did you wish to come here for?â
âI-I wished to meet you but those Earthlings wouldnât let me.â
âMm. And so you fought them. As is right for one of our kind.â You brought out a handkerchief and wiped down your hands after finishing the task at hand. Then you took a seat in front of them.
âYou understand! Of course.â
âActually I came here to bid you to return. The Emperor misses you dearly and wishes to see you.â
âDo you know why he does?â
âN-no?â
You looked down. Voice soft, relaxed shoulders, a solemn tone, and a tremble to add on top. âMy brother. He wishes to have a child with me. To use my powers in the form of a future heir to the throne.â
âI am not quite ready to have a child yet.â Nor were you interested with being a babymaker for that tyrant. But that wasnât an appropriate excuse in the grand scheme of things.
âI understand! Your Excellency is quite young and even then, you have saved countless of lives. You deserve only to do as wish and nothing less.â The soldier slammed the floor in front of it. âBesides, his Majesty had already taken so many concubines Iâm sure an heir wouldnât be needed anytime soon.â
You nodded. A moment or two of silence for your mind to recollect everything that has been said before you execute what you came here for in the first place. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. âHow incompetent must the new Imperial General be at the moment?â
âPardon?â
âInformation is the most valuable asset to any sort of battle. As a general I kept a tight leash on it. Lest it spilled and caused unnecessary ruckus.â My knights were drilled, put through fire and blood, wiped clean before they were thrown back into hell again. And most importantly they were taught to sew their mouth shut or die. You, you just spilled everything I needed to know the moment I showed that I cared.â
âYour Excellency, I ââ
âI was only going to punish you for trespassing. A measly act of destroying your Aetherial Helix.â âBut in all honesty, I might be doing that brother Emperor of mine a favor by going . . . further.â
âN-no, you wouldnât, youâreâ!â The soldier was about to defend you even in its dying moments. But as it truly recounted all that has been told about you from its peers and seniors, it realizes one truly fatal fact.
You were never known for benevolence.
âPlease! I did this all for you! I only wanted you back as my General!â
âLet this be a lesson.â
âNo, please ! I- I - I beg of youââ
You looked up to the ceiling, beyond it â the stars and the infinite darkness you once called your home.
âAnd so Iâll continue to wield your blade, until I cut the stars from sky. I will protect you even from the gods I serve.â
You chant. The blood on your hands once again becoming too visible and distracting.
âThank you for your service, soldier.â You deeply bow your head to the disintegrating corpse beneath you. Allowing the fallen's drained life essence to cover your forehead. [Brother Name] smiles. To others it may seem to have been a sign of respect â but to your kind, you were simply absorbing the spoils of battle. Taking in the dead and disgraced's remaining imprint on this world.
âMy deepest apologies for the mess and time it took. The matter has been dealt with.â You returned. The blood, having dripped down your face, had dried and turned dark.
âI hope this has not soured your view on me.â
âNot at all . . .â Tim was the first to speak at your return. His fingers unconsciously replaying the footage of your . . . execution. Millions of questions already shot across his head as he was eager to probe you on them one way or another.
If anything it only made their obsession with you worse.
âLet me be your sinner, brother. This oath I shall never forsake.â

Bait || Shelby family x reader
Synopsis: Reader went out partying and the Shelby family's enemy attacked her. Pairing: Shelby family x sister! reader Warnings: ANGST w/ comfort, reader gets injured badly, mentions of blood, stabbing, and violence, swearing Notes: rushed :C, gif is mine Click here to find the MAIN Masterlist Click here to find the PEAKY BLINDERS Masterlist
It was just a usual night in Small Heath. Due to the boredom, you decided to go outside and maybe have a little fun.
You dressed up. A long gold dress decorated your body. A feathered hat decorated your head. And a few pearl jewelry shined your neck, arms, and ears. Grabbing your gold colour purse, you exited your room, spiraling down the wooden stairs of your family's house.
As you went down, Polly saw you. "Where you going, love?" she asked, smiling.
Grabbing a cigarette stick, you placed it on your lips, leaning to Polly as your aunt was also about to light her long black stick of the cancerous stick. "Party, Aunt Pol. I'm getting bored staying in this house," you replied, your cigarette finally lit.
The matriarch of the family took a puff of her cigarette, her serious eyes locked on yours.Â
"Where? Who's going with you?" Polly asked.
"Oh, Aunt Pol.., I'll be fine. It's just 2 streets away from here. I'll be home at 2 am."
"Take care and enjoy love," she smiled, opening the door of the house's entrance, allowing you to exit the house.
<>
The only real issue was that you were wearing heels on the short walk from the house to the party location. Warm lights and vehicles adorned the spacious mansion. The estate was packed with elegantly dressed people in suits. You headed straight to the mansion's bar as soon as you got there and ordered a drink for yourself. Your heels reverberated against the bar's porcelain tiles. Men made up the majority of the crowd, and they were all too busy chatting, drinking, and trying to find women to satisfy their lusts.
"Whiskey, please," you ordered. You sat down just in front of the barman, glancing at everyone while waiting for your drink.
There were a few faces, you knew them because of your brother, Tommy and some were rich clients from the betting shop.
Finally, the barman gently placed a glass of whiskey in front of you. "Your drink, Madam."
You thanked him, picked up the glass, and sipped, letting the alcohol wash over your mouth. After placing a couple more drink orders, you made your way to the dance floor and started to dance energetically to the loud music being played. You moved your hips in time with the song's tune. You're waving your arms in the air. As you danced with the women, the dance floor was filled with a chorus of woos and laughs. Drinks were chugged into your system in tremendous amounts.
<>
You excused yourself and your new friends to go the restroom after a few hours of nonstop drinking and dancing. You were relieved that after eating at your place for a few hours, despite having numerous drinks, you were sober. You reapplied your clothing and your cherry lipstick as you straightened your hair in front of the big mirror. It's almost two, you realize as you glance at your pocket watch. Because you're the kind of person who takes responsibility seriously, is mature, and always arrives on time, Polly wasn't concerned about you going out late to party. After gathering your belongings, you put them back into your golden handbag and head out of the bathroom.
Finally saying goodbye to your new girlfriends, your heels found their way to the mansion's exit. Since you were sober already, you decided to take a walk back home.
As you walk through the dark streets of Birmingham, you cannot help but feel uneasy. You felt like you weren't alone at all. You felt that someone or somebody was following you.
And you were right.
Reaching for your pocket gun, you tried to protect yourself from the person who was following you by looking over your shoulder. You were too late, though. You were forcefully grabbed by two men, one of whom disarmed your gun. You were trapped against the wall by two rough pairs of arms, your head hitting the rocky concrete. Particularly on your stomach, you felt something cold and sharp graze your flesh, and the pain eventually got intolerable.
"What the fuck do you want!" you panted weakly, feeling a warm liquid drip on the side of your stomach.
"Just.. sending a message to your git brother," the low Irish accent sent shivers down your spine.
Campbell.
On the other hand, Polly was at the dining table, a cigarette in her hand as she watched the clock tick.
It was already past 2 and she started to get worried. You always come home on time - not even a minute late.
Polly hurriedly went to the telephone and dialed Tommy's number, her fingers shivering.
"Hello?"
"Tommy,"
"Pol? Why are you calling at this hour?"
"I-it's (y/n). She's not home yet and I'm starting to get worried. Oh God, Tommy. What if something happened to her?" Polly stammered, holding the telephone pole tightly.
"Not at home? I'll call John and Arthur." Tommy replied before ending the call.
<>
You tried to move and get out from their touch but due to the injury that you had, you were getting weaker.
"Tell your fucking boss to fuck off!" you hollered, heaving due to the pain down your stomach.
Punches rained down on you so hard you were gasping for air and screaming in pain as two strong fists crashed into your stomach and chest. Every blow sent waves of pain through your body, causing your legs to buckle and your breath to come in short, frantic gasps. Every strike was brutal, breaking your will and power in the process.
During the cruel assault, a fresh, burning pain suddenly appeared in your abdomen. Compared to previous experiences, this feeling was sharper and stronger. Frightened, you looked down to see the sparkle of a blade pressing against your body again. The man with the knife was cautious, taking his time as he carved the initials "C.C" into your flesh. The letters were an endless source of pain and abuse burned into your mind.
Dizziness was starting to get worse and worse but you paid no mind as you built up all of your strength to get up and grab your gun that was thrown on the cold hard bricks of the dark alley. Your cold fingertips pulled the trigger, emptying the bullet chamber by shooting them non-stop.
Two bodies were now on the cold floor, both lifeless, and their blood pooling out of their bodies, mixing with the hard concrete.
"You don't fuck with the Peaky Blinders."
Taking a deep breath at what happened, you stood up but moaned in pain after you felt the cuts and bruises all over your body. Looking down at your stomach, your dress was slit and filled with your blood.
"Jesus Christ," you muttered. Leaving your bag alone and limply walked back to the house.
Every step was a painful fight and the walk seemed to go on forever. Your back was laden with weight, and the pressure turned your spine into a throbbing rod of agony. Your single shoe scraped the uneven sidewalk, causing sharp pains to shoot through your leg with each step. As you struggled to remain straight the world around you became hazy and wobbly, and your vision became less sharp at the edges. You could feel consciousness sliding away, hovering on the edge of darkness, and every breath was a strained gasp. If you returned home without passing out, you were quite lucky.
Thankfully, you did.
Your bloodied palm opened the silver-colored knob, twisting it, and opened the door with all of your might.
There Polly was, looking at you with widened eyes. She ran towards you immediately, checking up on you.
"Dear God (y/n)! What happened to you?!"
Your body became weak due to a lack of strength in your muscles. You had a really pale face. Your dress was stained and damaged by your blood, and your hair is disheveled. Your aunt's voice fades more and further, the walls in your head beginning to swirl. After that, all you could see was darkness.
Polly caught you before your head contact with the wooden floor. Your arm limped on her touch.
The whole Shelby family including Michael, arrived at the doorstep, looking at the scene in front of them with their eyes locked and widened.
"Help me out here!"
As Polly commanded, everyone went inside. Tommy, John, and Arthur carried you gently before placing you on the dinner table that was filled with glasses and plates. Tommy removed the items on the table before Arthur placed you there. Michael and Ada quickly grabbed the first aid kit that was inside the kitchen room's wooden cabinet.
When Polly teared up your dress, she gasped.
"C.C.. Fucking Campbell," Polly's voice hissed, seeing the carved initials on your stomach, bleeding harshly.
Your breaths started to get faint and weaker, your body started to get cold.
"Stay with me, (y/n)," Ada whispered between sobs as she watched Polly do something with your wounds and help her aunt hand out the supplies that she needed.
"Fuck.. Fuck!" Tommy shouted, walking in circles as he rubbed his temples harshly.
"Arthur, John, Finn, Michael, find Campbell immediately!" he ordered.
"Bring me back his fucking head."
Michael and the brothers moved quickly, their actions a blur of rage and anger. They took immediate action after realizing this. With a mixture of terror and determination, their hands trembled as they took out their firearms from their pockets. The icy steel of the weapons was comforting, a guarantee of justice for the wrongs done.
They left the home without saying anything, the wooden door slamming shut behind them with a loud crash. They were barely aware of the sharp, biting night air. Their only thought was to locate the person who was responsible for this.Â
"She isn't even part of this fucking shit and yet she was targeted,"
Polly's eyes shot daggers with Tommy's blue orbs while her hands focused on healing up the wounds all over your stomach.
"You better fucking catch him, Tommy."
As soon as Polly's done patching you up, she stormed out in front of her nephew, disappointed at him.
"I'll look out for (y/n). You heard Aunt Pol, catch that bastard," Ada said, fixing up the used cotton and alcohol before throwing it out.
Tommy sighed as he exited the house. Looking for the man who did this to you.
<>
You woke up with the sunlight beaming on you. Looking at your surroundings, you noticed where you were right away.
Slowly, you tried getting up but your body fell again, moaning in pain.
"Easy, (y/n). Don't move, your wounds are still fresh," Ada said, slowly guiding your back to allow you to lie down comfortably.
"A-Ada, I was so scared... I didn't know what was going on.."
Your eyes were starting to get wet until tears were dropping down your cheeks as you recalled what happened last night.
You were so traumatized. You didn't want to remember again.Â
And that time, you knew that remembering is a curse.
"You're safe now, love. We're here now," Polly said, her arms locked with yours, giving you a comforting smile.
The door opened, and your brothers were there.
They immediately greeted you and asked how you were.
"God, love. I'm sorry that happened to you," your oldest brother, Arthur, said, gently combing your hair with his rough fingertips.
"It's okay, Arthur. I'm fine now,"
"We got him already," Finn remarked.
The gang leader showed up, his coat hanging on the chair. His footsteps echoed in the room as he approached you, placing his palms on your head.
"How are you now?" he asked, sighing.
"Fucking scared, Tom. I nearly died! This is fucked up."
"I know, (y/n). I know."
Polly stood up in the middle of the small argument, shutting the both of you. Her fists curl up like a ball, her brows knit together.
"Let her rest first, Tom. She had enough already," she said.
"I'm sorry," he apologized softly before exiting the house.
Tommy felt simply anger and guilt. Even though his sister isn't involved in the business, she was the one targeted. She's currently in there getting better from the physical and emotional trauma she recently went through.
"You're safe now, love." Polly gave you a comforting smile before asking the other Shelby siblings for breakfast.Â
"Thank you, Aunt Pol."

i have nothing to say for myself, this is just very self-indulgent. despite it all, i still hope you like it <3 though it isn't proof-read yet, so please be kind and ignore any typos!
PAIRING. pro hero!katsuki bakugou x genderneutral!reader (barista)
WARNINGS. language, mentions of blood and scars, katsuki is sorta an arrogant piece of shit
MASTERLIST
currently thinking about pro hero!Katsuki in his early 20s who refuses to fit into social norms â he shows up to press conferences dressed in sleek black clothing, the sleeves of his turtleneck rolled up to show off the tattoos covering his scarred arms, muscles tensing and flexing beneath his inked skin as he reaches for the water bottle his assistant placed next to the microphone.
Silver rings adorn his fingers â heavy jewelry that catches the flashing light of cameras snapping picture after picture with a dangerous glint that matches the sharp smirk that tugs at the corners of his mouth when a journalist asks a peculiarly intimate question about his love life. He barks out a laugh, low and rough, followed by a careless fuck off, that's none of ya business â a reply that causes her to blush and scramble back into her seat as the next reporter gathers the courage to speak up.
When heâs off duty, Katsuki is seen walking down the busy streets of the city in ripped jeans and heavy combat boots still stained with the blood of the villain he fought mere hours ago, the black tank top he wears stretching across his broad back and clinging to his body in a way that leaves little to the imagination.
Each movement shifts the thin fabric just enough to reveal more of the intricate dark lines of ink that trace his arms, curling up from his wrists to wrap around his biceps, traveling along his shoulders and disappearing under silver chains dangling from his neck to sprawl across his back and up to wrap around his throat.
Blood still seeps from an open cut beneath his exposed collarbone and bruises blossom on the edge of his clenched jaw, tinging the bare skin of his face in deep purple and blue that causes passers-by to gasp in mere horror. Some of them point at him, others only whisper behind raised hands, gaping at him with a hint of fear and admiration.
He only gives them a knowing smirk â the wounds he unashamedly carries from the battle are nothing but a badge of honor to him.
Thereâs something so unapologetically captivating about him â a certain kind of controlled violence in every step he takes, an intensity that dares anyone to approach and promises a challenge if they do.
People scramble out of his way without even realizing theyâve done it. Katsuki deliberately continues his path down the crowded sidewalk, casually adjusting the flannel shirt tied low on his waist before he enters a small coffee shop around the corner and ignores the crowd of fans that follows him soon after, heading straight past the queue as if the entire place belongs to him.
Perhaps it does, judging by the star-struck gazes of every customer he walks by, letting him pass without a single complaint.
"Americano," he says bluntly, voice low and rough, letting his words sound more like a command than a simple coffee order. He doesnât tack on a please, merely pierces you with a sharp glare as if he expects you to immediately drop everything youâve been doing to make his order.
Of course, he's right.
For a moment, you only stare at him. His hair is tousled, ashen strands disheveled from his fight against another villain youâve watched on the news earlier, but now that heâs standing right in front of you, so close that you can see the small scar that runs along his cheekbone, you notice that his body isnât only decorated with blank ink.
No, there are piercings, too many for you to count in this short span of time, but the sight alone causes your knees to buckle. There's a silver barbell going through his eyebrow and two studs glint along the side of his nose, but what catches your attention the most are the delicate rings that adorn his lips, catching the light just at the corners of his mouth that are now quirked up into a devilish smile.
"Uh, coming right up!" Your voice comes out a little shakier than youâd like and you clear your throat, quickly dropping the task at hand to busy yourself with the espresso machine and make his coffee as fast as possible, becauseâ
Well, it's Dynamight.
You can feel his eyes on you as you work and although you donât dare to look up, too focused on not messing up, you catch a glimpse of his reflection in the machine â the set of his jaw, the slight furrow of his brow and the way his piercings glint dangerously when he clicks his tongue in mild impatience.
He leans against the counter, tattooed arms flexing as he adjusts the rings on his fingers and runs a hand through his hair. The fangirls behind him squeal with excitement, screaming incoherent phrases at him that not even you can decipher, though he doesnât seem to pay much attention to them anyway. Instead, heâs solely focused on his order and, briefly, on you.
After a few minutes, you finish up, managing to keep your hands steady as you place the cup in front of him.
"A-Americano... for you," you mumble, trying to keep your tone even as if your pulse isnât racing just from standing so close to him.
Katsukiâs gaze drops to the cup, then shifts back to you, something unreadable in his eyes as he lifts it to take a slow sip, watching you over the rim. For a second, you think you catch the faintest hint of a genuine smile on his pierced lips before he carelessly tosses a few bills on the counter â more than enough â and nods, turning to leave without another word, his attention back on the door and the crowd still clamoring for a piece of his time.
Katsuki is nearly out the door when he glances back and offers you a sharp grin, letting his tongue dart out to lick over his bottom lip as he lets his eyes wander over your figure with such intensity that you momentarily forget how to breathe until the coffee shop around you begins to spin from the lack of oxygen.
And just like that, heâs gone, leaving you with the faint scent of coffee and leather, and the lingering thrill of an encounter you know you wonât be forgetting anytime soon.
