The energy/sugar rush these three are going to experience in the next 30 seconds... that poor 7 eleven employee is going to go through it /silly

I asked Krow what else should I add to this drawing before I post it and he would not stop begging me to give Remains gas station nachos... so he now has gas station nachos. He is going to get robbed in the next 3 seconds.

Remains Jax belongs to @rorydrawsandwrites and Cryptid Jax belongs to @sunifixation! :]

Oscar Piastri (McLaren) - Picturesque

Requested: nope

Warnings: an undeniable feeling of being single

Oscar and Y/n had finally managed to take a well-deserved vacation, escaping to a secluded seaside town where the pace of life was slower, and the views were breathtaking. They had chosen a hotel that Lando had recommended due to how secluded and private it was and since the couple desperately needed some time to be intimate with one another, they obviously looked into it. The hotel was perched on a cliff, with a balcony that offered panoramic views of the ocean.

"I'm so tired. I didnt realise how much I needed to relax." Y/n chuckled as she slumped down on her chair. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, the couple decided to not go to the hotel restaurant for dinner and instead sat across from eachother on their balcony, with some room service. Oscar couldnt take his eyes off his beautiful girlfriend as a gentle breeze rustling through Y/n's hair. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks below was soothing, creating a perfect backdrop for their serene moment. Oscar simply hummed in response as he reached for his Polaroid camera, a recent gift from Y/n. He loved how it captured moments instantly, freezing them in time. He turned to Y/n, who was gazing off into the distance, lost in her thoughts. Her face was softly illuminated by the fading sunlight, and her freckles seemed to glow.

Without a word, Oscar raised the camera and snapped a photo. The familiar whirr and click of the Polaroid brought Y/n back to the present. She turned to him, curiosity sparkling in her eyes as the photo developed. The small polaroid slid out,before Oscar began to shake it slowly. "Youre obsessed eith thag thing." She chuckled, leanjng across the table. "I mean it takes great photos. And I thought you looked pretty so I thought I'd make you my muse." Y/n felt her cheeks heating up from the compliment. "This trip is making you so sappy, babe." Oscar shrugged and looked ag the photo. "Look at this." He said softly. Y/n walked around the table and sat on his lap, looking at the photo. "You look so effortlessly beautiful. Your freckles are perfect."

Y/n took the photo and gazed at it, her heart swelling with affection. In the picture, she appeared peaceful and content, a small smile tugging at her lips as she stared at the horizon. "It's beautiful." She murmured, her voice filled with emotion. Oscar leaned in closer, his eyes reflecting the same warmth and love that filled Y/n's heart. "Just like you." He whispered, planting a gentle kiss onto her cheek. Y/n reached for the camera and got up quickly, a playful glint in her eye. "Your turn." She declared. She pointed the lens at Oscar, who was now gazing at her with a look of pure adoration. She pressed the button, capturing the moment forever.

As the photo developed, Y/n couldn't help but smile. There was Oscar, his eyes locked onto her, a look of undeniable love and devotion etched across his face. She handed him the photo, her heart fluttering. "Look at you." She said, mimicking his earlier words. "You can't take your eyes off me." Oscar chuckled, taking the photo and examining it. "Can you blame me?" He replied, his voice thick with affection. He grabbed the photo of her. "Just look at the view."

Oscar opened his phone case and placed the picture inside gently. “I love it too much. Im keeping this close for when I miss you.” Y/n simply looked at him, a bright smile on her face. “I was thinking the same thing.” Y/n followed suit, carefully sliding the Polaroid into the backs of her phone cases, ensuring it was protected but always visible. The pictures became their little secret, a reminder of this perfect evening and the love they shared.

His Souvenir

Wally west x reader

It was a bright, sunny day at the amusement park, and the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. The tantalizing aroma of popcorn and cotton candy filled the air, blending perfectly with the sound of laughter and thrilling screams from nearby rides. You and Wally West had decided to spend the day together, enjoying the rides and each other’s company.

Wally's energy was infectious, his boyish charm and quick wit making the day all the more enjoyable. You both started with the Ferris wheel, enjoying the slow, scenic ride that allowed for light conversation and a beautiful view of the park. From there, you moved on to more thrilling attractions – the roller coasters, the spinning teacups, and the drop towers.

Finally, you found yourselves in line for one of the park’s most popular roller coasters, known for its steep drops and sharp turns. Wally, of course, was bouncing with excitement, ready to experience the ride’s every twist and turn at full speed. You couldn’t help but laugh at his eagerness, feeling your own anticipation build as the line moved forward.

As the ride began, you felt the familiar rush of adrenaline as the coaster climbed higher and higher. Wally’s hand found yours, squeezing it reassuringly as you both prepared for the first big drop. The coaster plummeted, and you screamed, feeling the exhilarating force of the ride. Wally’s laughter echoed in your ears, his joy adding to your own.

As the ride continued, you saw the camera ahead, ready to capture the perfect moment of thrill. Just as you were about to pose with your best excited face, Wally leaned in, pressing a quick, playful kiss to your lips. The unexpected gesture left you flustered, a mix of surprise and happiness flooding through you. The camera clicked, capturing the exact moment of your flustered expression and Wally’s cheeky grin.

When the ride ended, you both rushed to the photo booth to see the picture. There it was, perfectly capturing the unexpected kiss and your wide-eyed, blushing reaction. Wally chuckled, clearly pleased with himself.

“Definitely getting this one,” he said, pulling out his wallet. “We need a souvenir of our first roller coaster kiss.”

You couldn’t help but laugh, still feeling the warmth of the moment. “You’re impossible, you know that?”

“And that’s why you love me,” he replied with a wink, handing over the money for the picture.

With the photo safely in hand, you both continued your day, enjoying the rides, the games, and the perfect company. The next stop was the bumper cars. Wally’s competitive spirit flared, and you found yourselves in a fierce, laughter-filled battle of bumping and dodging. Every hit was met with playful banter, his jokes keeping you in stitches even as you tried to outmaneuver him.

After the bumper cars, you wandered into the arcade. Wally’s eyes lit up at the sight of the games, and he pulled you over to a claw machine. “Watch the master at work,” he declared, confidently maneuvering the claw. After a few attempts, he managed to snag a small, plush lightning bolt.

“For you, my lightning rod,” he said, handing it to you with a flourish. The gesture, though cheesy, made your heart flutter. You thanked him with a kiss on the cheek, which only made him beam wider.

The day continued with a leisurely stroll through the park’s carnival section, where you both tried your hand at various games. Wally’s super speed gave him an edge in the ring toss and shooting gallery, but he made sure to let you win a few times too. The prizes, ranging from stuffed animals to quirky trinkets, piled up as you made your way through the games.

By the time the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, you and Wally had experienced nearly every attraction in the park. You both decided to cap off the day with a ride on the carousel. The gentle, nostalgic ride was a stark contrast to the thrilling roller coasters, offering a peaceful moment to reflect on the day.

As you rode side by side, Wally reached out and took your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours. “I had a great time today,” he said, his voice soft and sincere. “Thanks for spending it with me.”

You smiled, squeezing his hand. “Me too, Wally. Today was perfect.”

The carousel slowed to a stop, and you both reluctantly dismounted, heading towards the park’s exit. With your collection of prizes and the cherished roller coaster photo in hand, you made your way back to the parking lot.

Before parting ways, Wally pulled you into a warm embrace. “We should do this again sometime,” he whispered, his breath tickling your ear.

“Absolutely,” you replied, hugging him tightly. “Next time, maybe we’ll try the water park.”

Wally laughed, his eyes twinkling with excitement. “It’s a date.”

As you both went your separate ways, you couldn’t help but look back and smile, knowing that today was just one of many incredible adventures you’d share with Wally.

[breannasfluff]

Kakariko Village is as peaceful as it is quaint. After the emptiness of the fields and wetlands, Hyrule breathes a sigh of relief to see another town. The area where he grew up had few people, hidden in caves, but his wider Hyrule wasn’t quite so empty.

Wild led them up Sahasra Slope from the stable and down the winding canyon road to the village. It took a few days, even with the shortcut, and the Chain’s appreciation for the scale of Wild’s realm only grows.

Now, though, they’ve met Impa and settled into the inn for hot baths and real beds. Big as it may be, Hyrule is pleased at the level of comfort they had so far. The chance to stock up in the small stores is also a blessing.

Hyrule stretches, one arm over his head and the other grasping his elbow as he walks down the main road of the village. A painter hums as he dabs at his canvas, looking up at the main house as he makes adjustments.

“Good fortune,” he greets politely. “May I ask what you’re painting?”

“No need to be so formal,” the painter says with an easy grin. “I’m Pikango. With Link running around, formality tends to go out the window anyway.” His laugh is good-natured and he steps aside so Hyrule can look at the painting.

“It’s beautiful! I love how you captured the lighting on the roof.”

Pikango puffs with pride and pats him on the shoulder. “Thank you very much! Feel free to pass those manners on to Link if you get a chance.”

He seems to be only partly joking and Hyrule’s brows furrow together. Do the residents judge Wild for his social skills after all he’s done? No one at the stable batted an eye as Wild raced in and out, cooked food, and talked to every traveler.

Tucking the thought away for further examination, the Traveler gestures to the painting. “Have you painted here before?”

“Oh, one of my favorites comes from here.” Pikango reaches for the bag at his feet and carefully pulls out another canvas wrapped in oil cloth. “Link was kind enough to get me a photo I used as reference. It’s not perfect; he couldn’t wait around all day for me to paint, but look!”

The canvas he holds up is a riot of colors and impressionistic shapes; generally centered around a large open flower. Small dots of pink wink against the background; possibly with a mica added to the paint.

Hyrule steps forward, tracing details and a tentative hope rises in his chest. “Is this—”

“A great fairy fountain? Yes.” Giving it one more look, Pikango wraps it up again to stow safely. “There’s one just past the shrine there, according to Link.” He waves up the hill. “I’ve never managed to find it, even knowing where to go; but I’m happy with my painting. Ask Link to show you the picture if he still has it.”

Buzzing with excitement, Hyrule is edging on rude as he cuts off the conversation. “Thank you for showing me, I think I’ll go ask him now. Goodbye!” He scrambles for the winding path up the hill and Pikango waves absently, returning to his painting.

A fairy fountain in another time! It’s been so long since he had a chance to transform and see his cousins. A few hours away shouldn’t be missed. Ignoring the inn, Hyrule continues up the path, slowing to a trot as the incline takes its toll.

Read the rest here!

📸 kaitlyn (Aaron)

Send a 📸 to see 3-5 pictures that my muse has/has taken of your muse(s) | @huntrcssqueen

You get 6 instead because I love being extraaaaa!

They really needed to get some air. Like, really, really. They'd been stuck inside for too long, Aaron was probably itching to go out, even if reluctant. If not for his sake, then for Kaitlyn's. A few Google searches later, he found a spot that looked nice enough. It took a few attempts but eventually he managed to get her on board and they took a day trip to the beach with beautiful views! It felt so peaceful being away from everything for a while. Seeing her look so content even after her initial reluctance was lovely, so he snapped a little photo :)

Hahahaha there is no explanation for this other than her hair is wildingggggg! Aaron didn't actually think he'd get a photo of her windswept look but it's the perfect moment which he finds hilarious. He took the photo to in the hopes it would make her laugh! Maybe in the moment she doesn't find it funny but once he shows it her afterwards, maybe she has a change of heart.

Aaron tried joking about something but it fell flat, not as funny as he thought. So she gives him this look and he's doing everything he can to crack a smile. Maybe there's part of her wanting to laugh at his foolish attempts, maybe not, but at this point he just takes a photo??? because??? He's Aaron. Fuck knows hahahaha. No thoughts with this man, only vibes!

The weather is beautiful and so they have a little picnic outside in the garden. Neither of them felt like going out to a park or anything, because they knew it would be swarming with other people and neither of them particularly felt like dealing with anyone but each other! Maybe at this point, Aaron's slowly realising oh shit, he's got feelings for his dead best friend's wife. And it's like shit shit shit. But he can't help it. She looks so lovely, and he knows he shouldn't be thinking about how beautiful she is. But he does. And it's nice to see Kaitlyn look chilled out despite everything.

He made reservations for her favourite restaurant for a special occasion, maybe her birthday or something. It's a surprise and he never told her where they were going until they got there. Kaitlyn might be surprised he even knew where her favourite place was, but he's learned so much about her from Grayson before he passed of course but then he's learned so much about her since. He doesn't realise he's in love at this point, but all he knows is that he would do anything to see her smile.

Halloween is coming up and Aaron insists they need to come up with costume ideas! They're mooching around some stores for inspiration. Aaron has about 500 ideas that he keeps bouncing between, never making his mind up so they're probably doing it for a while. Nothing seems to capture Kaitlyn's mind and Aaron's like "really? nothing?" and by chance, they come across this clown nose. She tries it on for size because Aaron won't shut the fuck up about what hers is going to be so she's like "there! happy now?" and he takes the photo just because, lmfao!

𝑴𝒚 10-𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑱𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓

As a city girl born and raised in Manila, my eyes always widen whenever I see forests, cows, mountains, sheep, and oceans. Being part of a family without any province, it can take me 3-4 years at times to reconnect with nature. My cousins often tease me for being dramatic because I shout, 'Look! There's a mountain!' and capture thousands of photos until my phone runs out of storage. The smell of cows' dirt never disgusts me; I'd rather lose my hearing to the sound of sheep than listen to my noisy neighbors in Manila. The salty air every night is much better than the polluted air outside our house. Every view in Masbate was breathtaking. Now, you might confirm that I am indeed dramatic, but there's a reason behind it.

The 19-hour trip to Masbate was entirely worthwhile. Upon arriving on the island, I could already hear 'habal-habal' and 'padyak' riders offering rides to those passengers who were just getting off the bus. Hospitality was the first characteristic I encountered among the locals. They eagerly pointed out every street and structure we passed. People in Masbate love their fish—different varieties since they live by the sea. On our way to Mataba Island, we even saw a flying fish and jellyfish. While staying there, we met Nanay Minda, a perfect embodiment of their hospitality. She let us stay in her nipa hut, where we watched the sunset and sipped the hot coffee she prepared. I witnessed their vibrant festival celebrations, where music blasted until six in the morning without any complaints from neighbors. I was also surprised to see a poster labeling 'kwek-kwek' as squid balls—how does that make sense? Sometimes, we experienced days without signal or WiFi, and their electricity cuts off at 9:00 AM. How do they manage that?

Despite these experiences, I know that Manila and Masbate share similarities in daily life: high food prices, bustling neighborhoods, and early risers. My 10-day journey in Masbate taught me to embrace their culture and island life. The two days without signal or WiFi were surprisingly peaceful—no phone notifications to distract from admiring the sea, sunset, and mountains. I learned the value of experiencing things outside my comfort zone and accepting situations as they are.

On the 10th day of our journey, as we headed back to Manila to resume our student responsibilities, people waved goodbye and shared snacks for the bus ride. I'll never forget the elderly lady who gave us freshly picked caimito. Now, I miss waking up early for sunrises, seeing mountain silhouettes, staying out until 11 PM, and of course, the people. It's been a week, yet the memories remain vivid in my mind.

“What brings you to Edinburgh?” the customs agent asked him.

“Holiday,” he responded. This became the standard answer they provided as they traveled throughout Europe. He reviewed the passport before giving it a firm stamp and allowing Bucky through.

Traveling was a challenge given Bucky’s predicament, but the two had fallen into an easy routine. He still had some credentials on him from when he was an Avenger which granted him easy access to different countries. His language skills became very useful as they crossed border lines and Y/N finally started picking up some conversational skills thanks to Bucky (and Duolingo). 

Making money was surprisingly easy. Y/N started writing travel articles for magazines and kept up a popular blog where advertisers paid to be featured on her site. Bucky found a new passion in photography and started documenting all their adventures together and selling his photos to travel magazines. They didn’t have a ton of cash coming in, but it was enough to support the vagabond lifestyle.

Y/N still kept in touch with her family and friends, constantly reminding them of her new beau, but being apart from them didn’t bother her all that much. All she needed was Bucky in her life and she loved exploring all these new places.

Y/N was especially excited to visit Scotland, mostly because Bucky was always talking about how much he loved it. Bucky had planned some excursions for the day and they were fortunate enough to get a beautiful day in the sun. After a quick lunch in a fish and chips shop, they headed to Edinburgh Castle. 

They walked up toward the castle hand in hand and Bucky was surprisingly chatty. Usually Y/N led the conversations, but today he was making comments left and right about seemingly pointless things. She figured he was just excited to be visiting one of his favorite spots again.

They navigated around the groups of tourists with little kids running around and walked through the castle as Bucky whispered bits of knowledge into her ear. Y/N was constantly amazed at how much he knew about history. He had his camera with him and was constantly taking shots of the architecture and views from impeccable angles. He always managed to capture a few candid shots of Y/N when she wasn’t looking, with the light hitting her in the perfect way. Once she started to pick up on his lens, she fell into a habit of photo bombing his shots with a peace sign or her tongue out.

As the tour came to an end, Bucky said, “I have one more spot I want to show you.” They walked down the hill of the castle and weaved through the gardens to an ornate fountain. 

“It’s beautiful,” she breathed. She always loved sitting around fountains with a cup of coffee and a book. Bucky would take photos from all different angles and she would sneak a peek to watch as he worked. Occasionally he would capture candid shots of strangers and would send Y/N to talk to them so he could send over some of the photos.

They fell into their standard routine: Y/N snagged a cup of coffee from a nearby cart and sat on the bench, book in hand, as Bucky circled the area to find the best angles for photos. 

In between snapping shots, he approached a young couple, chatted with them a bit and showed them some of the photos he took. Then he called to Y/N and gave a head nod to come over. 

“What?” she asked him, confused.

“Come on, this is my favorite place with my favorite girl. Let’s get a picture.” Bucky wasn’t usually one to pose in front of the camera but she couldn’t argue with his logic here. He handed his camera off to one of the kind strangers as Y/N walked over towards the fountain. She easily slid under his arm and they smiled together as the young woman snapped a few shots. 

“One more,” she called to them. Y/N adjusted her pose ever so slightly when she felt Bucky’s arm unfurl from her shoulder. She turned to him, thinking maybe he was doing a fun pose, but instead, she found him down on one knee, a small velvet box in his hand.

“Y/N…” he started. Oh boy she thought. “These past few years have been the best in my life. I never imagined I’d meet someone who would bring me so much happiness and teach me what it is to be in love. You’ve changed everything for me and now that I’ve met you, I can’t live a life without you. So now I’m here, at my favorite place in the world with the only woman I have ever truly loved, and I’m asking you to make me the happiest man alive and marry me.”

A teardrop slid down her face. “James, of course I will.” He jumped up from his knee and captured Y/N into a warm embrace, his hand found her jaw and his lips softly enveloped hers in a passionate kiss. They were removed from their bubble by the sound of applause coming from all around them. She pulled away from Bucky to glance around as a blush crept upon her freckled cheeks. The girl holding Bucky’s camera was absolutely beaming. She showed them all the photos she captured of the special moment and it could not have been more perfect. The couple offered to treat them to a round of champagne at the local pub which Y/N and Bucky happily accepted.

As they walked together, hand in hand, she whispered into his ear, “I can’t believe this is my life.”

He kissed her on the cheek, “I’ve had that thought every day since I met you.”

Simplify Your Photography Life: Time-Saving Apps for Pros

Being a professional photographer is a constant juggling act. You're an artist capturing breathtaking images, a business owner managing projects and finances, and a social media whiz showcasing your work to the world. But what if there were tools to help you streamline your workflow and free up precious time to focus on what matters most – creating stunning photography?

Enter the wonderful world of professional photographer apps! These time-saving wonders can simplify every aspect of your photographic journey, from pre-production planning to client communication and post-processing.

Pre-Production and Scouting:

Location Scouting Made Easy: Ditch the time-consuming physical scouting trips. Apps like Google Maps and Maps.me (with offline functionality) allow you to explore potential shooting locations virtually. Check accessibility, create and share custom location lists with your team, and arrive on shoot day prepared.

Planning and Budgeting with Ease: Project management apps like Asana and Trello are fantastic for organizing pre-production tasks. Create to-do lists, assign tasks to team members, and track deadlines, ensuring everything runs smoothly on shoot day.

Predicting the Perfect Light: No more guesswork! Apps like PhotoPills and The Photographer's Ephemeris predict sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times based on your location. This allows you to plan shoots for the most captivating lighting conditions, whether it's capturing dreamy golden hour portraits or dramatic moonlit landscapes.

Capture with Confidence:

Tethering for Precision Control: Most major camera manufacturers offer dedicated mobile apps that allow remote control (tethering) of your camera settings. This is a game-changer for studio shoots, product photography, or situations requiring precise control over aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Wireless File Transfer on the Go: Streamline your workflow with apps like AirDrop (Apple devices) or Snapdrop (cross-platform). These apps allow you to wirelessly transfer photos from your camera to your editing device, saving valuable time compared to traditional cable connections.

Post-Processing Power:

Batch Editing Magic: Short on time? Batch editing tools in Adobe Lightroom Classic or Capture One Pro allow you to apply the same edits to multiple photos at once. This is a lifesaver for weddings, events, or situations where you need to edit a large volume of images quickly.

Presets for Efficiency: Create custom presets in Lightroom Mobile or VSCO to streamline your mobile editing workflow. Apply your favorite edits to photos with a single tap, saving time and ensuring consistent results across your images.

Organization and Management:

Cloud Storage for Peace of Mind: Losing precious photos is a professional photographer's worst nightmare. Reliable cloud storage solutions like Adobe Creative Cloud or Dropbox ensure your valuable photos are always backed up and accessible from anywhere. These services also offer collaborative features, allowing you to share images with clients or team members.

Taming the Photo Chaos: Managing vast image libraries can be a time-consuming chore. Photo management apps like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic or portfolio management platforms like Folio Aperture or Format help organize photos by project, keyword, or other relevant criteria. This makes it easier to find specific images and ensures a smooth post-production workflow.

Client Communication and Marketing:

Effortless Social Media Management: Platforms like Later or Hootsuite allow you to schedule social media posts across various platforms in advance. This saves you time from daily posting and ensures consistent brand messaging to build a strong online presence and attract new clients.

Client Communication Made Easy: Apps like Dubsado or HoneyBook offer project management tools, invoicing options, and secure client portals for sharing images and contracts. Streamline communication with clients, keep projects organized, and create a professional experience from start to finish.

Contract Templates for Efficiency: Eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel every time you work with a new client. Legal service platforms like Bonsai or DocuSign offer customizable contract templates specifically designed for photography services. This saves you time drafting contracts and ensures key terms are always covered.

Bonus App:

Effortless Accounting: Simplify your finances with accounting apps like QuickBooks or Xero. These apps help you track income and expenses, generate invoices, and manage your tax obligations, freeing you from tedious bookkeeping tasks.

Remember:

The ideal set of professional photographer apps will depend on your specific needs and workflow. Experiment with different apps to discover what works best for you and leverage free trial periods before committing to a paid subscription. By incorporating these time-saving tools, you can simplify your photography life, boost your efficiency, and focus on what you do best – capturing captivating images and building a thriving photography business.

Drive Sales with Style: Lead Generation Website Templates for Auto Sales

In the fast-paced world of auto sales, capturing customer interest and converting them into leads is crucial. In today's digital age, a well-designed website acts as your virtual showroom, attracting potential buyers and propelling your sales forward. But building a website from scratch can be daunting, especially for those without coding expertise. This is where lead generation website templates come in - pre-built website frameworks designed to streamline the process and maximize lead generation, specifically for auto sales.

Why Lead Generation Website Templates?

Lead generation website templates offer a multitude of benefits for auto dealerships:

Faster Launch: Compared to custom website development, templates offer a quicker and more cost-effective way to get your online presence up and running.

User-Friendly Design: Many templates boast modern, user-friendly interfaces that are easy to navigate on both desktop and mobile devices, a critical factor in today's mobile-first world.

Lead Capture Optimization: Lead generation templates are specifically designed to capture leads efficiently. They typically include features like contact forms, opt-in popups, and call-to-action buttons strategically placed to encourage visitors to connect with you.

Customization Options: While templates provide a solid foundation, they are often customizable. You can personalize the design with your brand colors, logos, and images, ensuring your website reflects your unique identity.

SEO Friendliness: Many templates are built with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind, making it easier for potential customers to find your dealership online through relevant search queries.

Choosing the Right Lead Generation Website Template for Auto Sales

With a vast array of lead generation website templates available, selecting the right one for your auto sales needs is key. Here are some factors to consider:

Target Audience: Who are you trying to reach? Young, tech-savvy buyers might respond well to a sleek, modern template, while families might prefer a more user-friendly and informative design.

Features: Identify the functionalities that are most important for your auto sales strategy. Does the template offer features like inventory management tools, appointment scheduling, or online financing options?

Responsiveness: Ensure the template is fully responsive, meaning it adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, from desktops to tablets and smartphones. This is crucial, as a significant portion of car shoppers research and initiate contact through mobile devices.

Lead Capture Forms: How easy is it to capture leads through the template? Does it offer customizable forms to collect valuable customer information?

Integrations: Choose a template that integrates with your existing software, such as your CRM system or email marketing platform. This allows for a smooth workflow and efficient lead management.

Optimizing Your Auto Sales Lead Generation Website Template

Once you've chosen the perfect template, it's time to optimize it for maximum lead generation:

Compelling Content: Craft high-quality content that showcases your inventory, highlights your dealership's strengths, and addresses common car buying concerns. Utilize clear and concise language, engaging visuals (high-quality car photos, virtual tours), and informative descriptions.

Strong Calls to Action (CTAs): Make it clear what you want website visitors to do next. Use strong CTAs like "Get Pre-Approved", "Schedule a Test Drive", or "Request a Quote" throughout your website, strategically placed near relevant information.

Testimonials and Reviews: Positive customer reviews and testimonials build trust and credibility. Include sections showcasing satisfied customer experiences to give potential buyers peace of mind.

SEO Optimization: Incorporate relevant keywords throughout your website content to improve your search engine ranking. Conduct keyword research to target terms potential customers might use when searching for cars in your area.

Lead Nurturing: Once you capture leads, nurture them through automated email campaigns or personalized follow-up. Offer valuable information, answer their questions, and guide them through the car buying journey.

Beyond the Template: Additional Strategies for Auto Sales Lead Generation

While lead generation website templates are a powerful tool, consider these additional strategies to further enhance your lead capture efforts:

Social Media Marketing: Promote your dealership and inventory on popular social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Utilize targeted ads and engaging content to reach your ideal audience.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising: Invest in PPC campaigns to appear at the top of search results for relevant keywords. This helps drive targeted traffic to your website, potentially leading to more qualified leads.

Content Marketing: Create blog posts, articles, or videos that provide valuable car buying advice or industry insights. This establishes your dealership as a trusted resource and attracts organic traffic to your website.

Live Chat Support: Offer live chat functionality on your website to engage with website visitors in real-time

Camera Exposure

Lucifer has a rule against taking his picture for a reason. When you violate the rule, he makes sure to show you just how exposing it can be.

TW: Extremely Dubious Consent, Non-Consensual Voyeurism, Non-Consensual Exhibitionism, Spit, Spanking, Hair Pulling

Word Count: 3,882

»»----------► F!Reader

Tonight was a rare occasion. Fingers dig into your hips, lazily guiding your hips up and down. Whispered praises fall from Lucifer’s lips with each drag of your cunt along his cock, his head falling back against the pillow.

No talons, horns, or fangs. No ropes, whips, or chains. He was too exhausted, too stressed from unspecified work from Diavolo that you practically had to drag him to bed. Undoing the buttons to his uniform, you complimented his dedication to the future King, to his brothers, and to you. Hands brush against his smooth skin as they slide underneath the fabric of his shirt, your affirmations stroking his ego and stoking the flames of his Pride. 

He kisses the top of your head once you pull his belt from his waist, his fingers finding the underside of your chin to pull your gaze to his. You smile, soft and sweet, telling him that tonight is about him. 

“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” you punctuate with a kiss to his knuckles, “Let’s take our time tonight.” 

You're surprised at how quickly he had settled into this variation on his role; no less dominant than before, but much more indulgent in what you were willing to give. He’s taken every teasing grind, kiss, and touch without complaint, a far cry from the demon that is able to control your body without a single spell. A sinful shade of pink blooms across his face and down his neck where it meets the red lines your nails etched into his chest. His eyes are shut tight, soft pants welcoming you with every thrust.

Even in the throes of passion, he always managed to be handsome. Elegant. Bewitching. Dare say… angelic. Truly a rare sight indeed. 

You wish there was a way to capture this moment forever, to have a keepsake of the time when you saw Lucifer at his most peaceful, and under your mercy no less. But, if the numerous times Mammon has ended up dangling from the ceiling, and the very clear verbal threats from Lucifer are anything to go by, pictures of your darling demon are forbidden. A nasty punishment would surely be your fate, not the fun kind he normally subjected you to in his bed, but an arduous lecture where you will more likely die from old age before ever seeing its end. 

Still… one little photo couldn’t hurt, right? It’s not like you would be so brazen as to set it as your screensaver. No, it would only be for you.

Brushing a few stray hairs away from your face and shifting your legs ever so wider, it’s almost embarrassing how easily your body bends to accommodate his impressive stature. Almost. Pressed chest to chest, his skin feels like fire, engulfing you with what felt like the embers of the Devildom itself. No fire raged as intensely as he did, yet no love could be as radiant. A perfect union between celestial glory and the impervious demon you knew him as now.

His hands slip to your thighs, cabernet nails decorating half moons on your body. Eyes crack open with your change in position, always curious and eager to thwart the tricks up your sleeve. You press your lips to his, hopefully hiding your true intentions with the guise of human adoration.

It’s often that you wonder if he misses it. Heavenliness. You’ve never seen what Lucifer, The Morning Star, Lightbringer, looked like. Simeon delighted you with stories of the angel he knew, Michael’s right-hand man, and how, angel or demon, Lucifer never stopped fretting over his brothers. You knew angels often had to quell human anxieties with “Be not afraid”, but if the angel was supposedly more magnificent than his demon self, you cannot understand why they’d be afraid. 

Of course, now you understand why humans trembled with fear. If a man with four inky black wings and serpentine horns appeared before you without prelude, you’d cry too. That’s why you try, even when his abyssal rage swirls around him, to lavish praise and tribute upon him. Devildom may be home to him now, but there’s always a doubt about how comfortable he feels away from the purpose he was created for. You kiss your human infatuation, weakness, and worship into him every chance you can. Perhaps, this way, you feel like home to him. 

You have him right where you want him. Eyes slip back shut as he basks in your devotion, but your gaze is focused on where your D.D.D sits on the bedside table. As careful as you can manage with his cock hitting just right where you need it, your hand reaches out for your phone. Once in your grasp, your lips part from his, but you still pepper kisses to his nose, forehead, and cheeks. Your plans would be ruined if he opened his eyes, but the privacy of his bedroom is one of the few places where your love doesn’t need to be tamed, so the kisses serve their purpose of distraction and freedom. 

With a soft moan, you return to your original position, hand pushing your phone into the mattress as you return to fucking him in earnest. 

A breathy, “fuck,” falls from his lips. Your own groans and pants resume, shaky hands unlocking your D.D.D and opening the camera, eyes darting between him and the screen. 

Just a… little more… Your thumb hovers over the button as the camera shifts into focus. You’re so close. 

The shutter sounds.

In an instant, the phone is snatched from your grip, wrist locked in the bruising grip of his other hand. 

“What,” he grits, “do you think you’re doing?”

“Luci, it’s not what you - Oh!” He silences you with a knock of your hands against the headboard. You’re under him now, his imposing shadow growing as the wings unfurl from his back and horns twisting towards the ceiling. Talons cut sharp into your skin now, and fangs glint dangerously within his snarl. 

“Did Mammon put you up to this?"

"No! Lucifer, please, just let me explain!" You push against his hold despite knowing that such action is futile. His hand constricts tighter. His gaze sharpens, a silent threat to stay still. 

"Our night was going splendidly, dear," he sighs wistfully, "So you better have a good excuse for ruining it."

You visibly gulp, staring up into the inferno that blazed in his eyes. "Y-you looked so peaceful, so relaxed... I'd never seen you like that before..."

"You're right," he says, "It's almost impossible to relax when your brothers and a meddling human cause endless trouble."

A stinging sensation burns in your chest at that comment, reverberating in the hollows of your ribcage. Still, you muster the strength to keep your face relatively neutral and summon the last shred of your confidence. 

"I wanted to remember you like that," you whimper, "I never wanted to forget this night."

"Who are you to say this was the last time?"

"It's not the last time, but that's the point, Luci, that it was the first. I wanted- a souvenir, I guess- of the first time I made you feel like that." 

It doesn't matter what kind of being answered your prayer, but you thank them nonetheless as his hands release their grip. A huff of annoyance escapes him as he pinches the bridge of his nose. Placing your hands against the mattress, you carefully push yourself up to be sitting against the headboard. 

"What am I going to do with you?" Lucifer mutters, his hand sliding to his chin in contemplation.

"What do you mean?"

Lucifer leans in close to you, his hand finding your chin and tilting your face up to meet his. Your noses bump together, a sly smile replacing the snarl. "Have you always been this selfish? Or have my brothers and I been corrupting you?"

Brows knit in confusion, you ask, "Selfish?"

His mouth follows your jaw down to your neck, humming against your skin. "Yes, selfish. Wanting pictures of me under your control is selfish, is it not?"

You want to roll your eyes at whatever new game he has decided you'll play, but end up moaning instead as his teeth sink into your neck. His tongue lavishes over the bite after, soothing the redness that gathers. Heat sparks in your lower abdomen again, reminding you of the bliss you had been in merely moments ago before your little stunt. Knowing the demon before you, it wouldn't be a surprise if he left you hot and bothered for the remainder of the night. He was a sadist through and through, particularly when it came to stubborn-headed you. Each time you held out, taking every bite, scrape, bruise, and denial of pleasure as proof of your worth to him. That is what made it all the more satisfying when you finally broke, crying and pleading for him to touch you, to kiss you, to fuck you. You knew whatever punishment he decided to deliver would leave you a needy mess, begging to be used like the cockslut you are.

His hand abandons your chin, trailing down your body until he reaches your clit and pinches the bundle of nerves between his fingers. "Answer me."

The pain makes you cry out, thighs tensing together, his hand trapped between. The following pleasure, however, has you rolling your hips into his touch, searching for more friction. "Luci- Lucifer, please," you mewl with wavering breath.

"Do not," he warns as his other hand, which had been holding your D.D.D., drops the phone against the mattress. He places it against your right knee, forcing it down and away to expose your cunt to him again, "Do not make me repeat myself." 

You take in a shuddering breath before speaking. "Can you blame me for being selfish? Seeing you like that did wonders for my pride..."

He laughs, the deep baritone so sweet to your ears that you hope it's the first sound to greet you when you die. 

"I suppose you are forgiven..." Forgiven by an angel turned demon, what luxury has befallen you. "But you still must face your punishment."

With that, he easily slips two fingers into your core. You whine, head falling back as his thumb traces brutal circles on your clit. 

Being one of the most powerful devils grants Lucifer the ability to see the soul of any human he wishes. It is easily his favorite thing to watch about you, how it reacts to the events you find yourself in. Right now, it seems as if your soul is winding in on itself as the pressure builds in your body, each twist becoming tighter as your muscles tense. As his fingers set a steady pace, he watches your soul pulse in sync with your fluttering heart, the energy of your pleasure crackling and sparkling, waiting for the final strike that will allow it to burst forth. It's incandescent how it shines from you, like a torch in the darkness. It's maddening how effortlessly it beckons him close; he needs to look away. He instead chooses to focus on your face. How you bite down on your lip with each thrust; the sweat on your forehead; the rapid rise and fall of your chest as you gasp and pant. Yet the thrumming of your soul is too much; you're right on the edge.

You practically bawl when he removes his hand. You knew this was your fate.

Lucifer smoothes a few strands of hair back from your forehead, "Do not worry, love. It'll be over soon." A kiss is pressed to your heated skin. Using his strength, he's able to flip you onto your stomach with ease. One hand pulls your hips up until you're on your knees, the other hand keeping your head pressed firmly to the pillow. A light chuckle escapes him, "Perfect, stay just like that."

The sheets shuffle behind you as he moves, but you don't dare raise your head to see what he's searching for. You've always been prone to fidgeting when forced to wait. Your knees slide against the mattress, spreading wider. Fingers curl against the blanket, but when that doesn't alleviate the tension, they release the fabric, opting instead to drum impatiently. An ache forms in your knees, so you slide them back to their original position. 

A firm hand on the back of your thigh has you stop dead still, biting your bottom lip in anticipation. You feel Lucifer close in, the heat radiating off of him. With a gentle squeeze to your thigh, his cock enters you again, bottoming out in one motion. A high-pitched squeak escapes you at the unannounced intrusion, your body leaning forward as your cunt stretches open around him. You want to rock back, to fuck yourself against him, but the way his thumb digs into your flesh reminds you of your place. 

An imaginary clock ticks away in your head. This wouldn't be the first time you'd been made to be nothing but his cockwarmer and the idea of staying like this is torturous. Lesson learned, dammit. 

But the ticking wasn't imaginary; rather, it was the click of nails against a screen. Behind you, the glow from your D.D.D. lights up Lucifer's devilish smirk. It takes him a minute to find the app he wants amidst your disorganized sorting system, but as the logo for the video call service appears on the screen, he knows this punishment is one you won't soon forget. 

You inhale slowly and deeply, trying to quell your speeding heart for the long night ahead.

brrring... bring...

Is that-? Oh no . Nononononono!

"Oi, what d'ya think you're doin' callin' so - WHAT THE FUCK?" 

Ohmygodmammonimsosorry ...!

"Oh, Lucifer, you're so mean!~" Asmo whines, "It's rude not to invite-"

"Was this really necessary? My book was just getting interesting." Satan grumbles.

Lord above and Lord below, please end my life.

You hear the faint sound of crunching, followed by a muffled, "Belphie, look-"

Belphegor's laugh echoes in the room. That little sadist . "Looks like our human found trouble.~"

One brother is missing, and that gives you hope. Perhaps he's already running to your rescue, his video game abandoned, and the door broken off its hinges as he rushes to save your dignity. Levi has always been your knight, right? He'll be here any second.

An embarrassed yelp and the sound of a gaming chair crashing to the floor destroys your dream. "L-Lucifer! W-What are you doing!?"

killmekillmekillmekillmekillmekillme...

"Thank you all for answering," Lucifer states as if this is a routine meeting, "Our little lamb here thought they could sneak a picture of me. No doubt this is your influence, Mammon."

"Whaddya mean my influence!? I don't have to take this! I'm hangin' up!" 

"Mammon," Asmodeus's airy giggle resonates out, "You're supposed to look after them, right? Don't you think you should watch to make sure they're safe?"

"No! My duties don't involve watchin' Lucifer FUCK-"

"I have to agree with Asmo," says Belphie, "Beel is nodding his agreement right now. What do you think, Satan?"

A sigh escapes the fourth-born, "Not like I can return to my book after this nonsense, so, I suppose."

You want to scream, to cry, to do anything, but you can't will your voice or body into defiance. Instead, you bite the pillow below you, shoving your face deeper into its plushness as tears escape your eyes.

"Then we're all in agreement then," Lucifer slowly pulls his hips back until he's on the verge of slipping out completely, "Please feel free to make requests."

His hips slam back into yours, signifying the brutal pace he's going to keep. Each forceful thrust feels like you'll tip over. You swear you're steadily moving up the bed, bit by bit.

The hand on your thigh withdraws, only to return with a resounding smack! to your ass. A pained whimper rumbles rawly in your throat. You hear the mixture of surprised and pleased gasps from the brothers. 

"Can you- Do that again...?" Levi whispers.

Lucifer's knuckles cut across your skin as he backhands the other side of your ass. All groans give way to choked gasps as each thrust knocks what little amount of air you manage to inhale from your lungs. Your back drops in a languid arch, what little composure you have bending with it. 

"Please... please, I'm sorry..." You murmur.

His hand tangles into your hair, yanking your head to the side to expose your tear-stained face to the camera. "What did you say?"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Lucifer, please! I won't do it again!"

You hear Satan tsk on the line, "You know begging won't save you now." He doesn't sound composed, his own breath choppy and strained. 

Is he seriously...? ARE ALL OF THEM?

Trying to turn your face back into the pillow, another sharp tug to your hair prevents you. Shame and guilt bubble hotly through your veins; any more feverish and you'd surely burst into flames.  

"Awww, there's no need to be embarrassed, love!" Asmo soothes between his own labored pants. "Give them a little relief, Lucifer."

Lucifer's hand abandons your hair, tracing down your spine as he switches to shorter, faster thrusts. The relief from his intensity is indeed little, but now you are able to breathe a little more, and the ache in your hips doesn't feel as bad. The reprieve is short-lived, however, as his fingers find your clit once again. His touch is not teasing, not a slow crescendo into bliss. It's rough, demanding your body answer his command and do so now. Your thighs are trembling as the pleasure and pain merge in your core, your toes curling against nothing. You try to angle your hips away from his hand, but that only serves to force his cock deeper into you. You're trapped. 

Belphie yawns. "Hurry up, Lucifer, I won't be awake much longer."

Lucifer chuckles. "Is my show boring you, Belphegor?"

"Why do you insist on taking so long? Only you have the patience for this." He huffs.

If you know Lucifer, and you do, he's no doubt rolling his eyes. He and the seventh-born have very differing opinions when it comes to sadism. 

"Fine," he grunts, leaning in closer to you, "But make no mistake, dear, we're not finished."

A few more agonizing brushes against your clit finally has your body submitting. You hear Lucifer groan as your cunt spasms around him, just the mere presence of his cock making it hard to come down. Droplets of your cum drip down your thighs as the last few throes of your orgasm shudder through your body. Sweat clings to your body, cementing your hair to your face as you fight for breath. 

Lucifer adjusts his position, withdrawing completely in order to showcase your wrecked pussy to Belphie. A loud grumble - one of hunger - interrupts the scene.

"They look so delicious..." Beel growls. 

"They look gorgeous!" Asmo praises.

"I think they've learned their lesson, but one more should really drive it home," says Satan.

Levi only mutters into his hand.

Everyone remains silent after, waiting expectantly for greed to rear its ugly head.

"Can ya turn them over..."

Lucifer smirks, "You need to speak up, Mammon."

He grumbles, "I said can ya turn them over? Y'know, onto their back? To see their face?"

traitortraitortraitortraitortraitortraitortraitor.

Your body is limp, a mere doll that Lucifer positions for his little show. He allows you to fall to your side before rolling you onto your back. The light from your phone is blinding, but it's the idea of the demons watching on the other side that makes you shut your eyes. His hand brushes your hair away before his thumb dries the remaining tear tracks on your cheeks. Finally, a gentle touch has returned, but you know it will soon leave, so you place your hand over his, pressing your face further into his palm. 

Asmo coos, "Aww, you see, Lucifer? They really are sorry."

"But just to be safe..." Satan teases. You know he's trying to rile you up, to feel wrath emanating from your soul. 

It's working. You're going to kill him when you recover. You're going to use your pact to order him immobile and kill him dead. 

"Can you give me one more?" Lucifer asks.

You take a deep breath... and nod your head.

"Good girl."

Lucifer presses both of your knees to your chest. Out of habit, your hands immediately circle around them, holding them in place. He lines himself up with your entrance, sinking his length in immediately. A groan escapes both of you. Again, Lucifer's hand returns to your face, thumb pressing on your lower lip. You part your mouth, allowing his thumb to glide across your tongue. His fingers slip under your chin, holding your mouth open and waiting before he leans over you and spits into it. You swallow it eagerly. 

Mammon chokes.

You're finally granted respite. Lucifer's thrusts are slow and methodical, letting you feel every silky inch as his hips roll into yours. The pleasure building is the slow drawl you're used to, and after the near mind-shattering peak you had just experienced, the slow climb is comforting. It reminds you that, yes- Lucifer is extremely powerful- but it is with that power he uses to fiercely protect you. He may push your boundaries, erasing and redrawing the lines to his liking, but it is always with the intent of your self-discovery. He is many things; eldest brother, loyal servant, Lightbringer, but there is no title he cherishes as much as Your Lover. 

His room is filled with a symphony of tiredly soft moans, mixing with the wetness between your legs as skin meets skin. As his cock prods deeper into your heat, a new gush of arousal springs forth, further intensifying the sticky sound of your bodies joining. Little puffs of breath escape Lucifer as he glances down at the screen of your phone, his brothers still watching with voyeuristic glee. He doesn't second guess his decision to end the call at that moment, tossing the troublesome device off to the side and ignoring the thunk of it landing on the floor. 

Strong hands replace yours on the backs of your knees, urging you to instead wrap your arms around his shoulders. You do so happily, left hand tangling into the hair at the back of his neck, your right opting to dig into his shoulder blades. His lips meet yours, tongue swiping across your lower lip to soothe where your teeth had been cutting into the flesh. 

The second orgasm approaches quicker than you would have liked, but your body is sensitive and raw from the experience. With a soft cry of the demon's name, you cum again, cunt spasming wildly around him. Lucifer follows soon after, one final thrust shoving his cock as deep as possible as his seed floods your insides. When he releases your legs, you collapse fully to the bed in an utterly spent heap, heaving as you succumb to the exhaustion.

The next time you open your camera, you're greeted with a selfie of Lucifer, cradling your sleeping form to his chest.

My Heart-Simon “Ghost” Riley Oneshot

Simon “Ghost” Riley x Wife!Reader

Summary: When Grave’s captures Simon’s wife, he spirals into sorrow while he tries to come up with a plan to get her back. When he does, he realizes he wasn’t the only one hurting from their abrupt separation. 

Warnings: Angst (Just a bit), not proof read

A/N: I haven’t played the game yet, but I think like most people, I have developed an unhealthy obsession with this man. So if there are any inaccuracies, I’m sorry, just roll with it :)

Masterlist

Word Count: 1.2k

Simon’s POV-

I was going to kill Graves. I was going to kill him slowly, and brutally, if he so much as touched a hair on (Y/N)’s head. I’d seen the Shadows snag her after Graves revealed his true intentions. I went into panic mode for a full fifteen or so minutes before I finally managed to pull myself together. 

When Soap reconnected on me over the comms I was able to screw my head on straight and focus. Focus on getting him back. When I did though and we made it to Alejandro’s safe house, there was no mission. There was nothing to keep my mind busy and on track, there was just worry. 

(Y/N) was a pilot, one of the best, hence why Price put her on this task force. She had basic combat training, but it wasn’t enough to keep her safe from getting captured. 

While everyone was getting rest, the safehouse was very dark, very quiet. The only light came in through the window from the moonlight. People were piled in different corners of the room, some snoring softly. 

I sat down, against the wall, staring down at the picture in my hand. The tiny polaroid I kept in my pocket. I didn’t even notice Soap approaching me on light feet until he sat down next to me. “What are you thinkin’ about Lt?”

I didn’t say anything, just stared down at the picture. (Y/N)’s face lit up in a smile while holding her son, Tommy, close to her side, me in the back in my mask, ruffling his (h/c) hair while he swatted at me, laughing. 

Soap looked over, giving the photo a once over. He looked back at my mask, “I didn’t know that you and (Y/N) were so close.” I shrugged. What could I say to that? Me and (Y/N) have been married for three years? We’re in a relationship? Me and her have a son? “That your kid?”

I shook my head, “hers.” I could never take Tommy’s father’s place. Even though he didn’t remember him. 

Soap took a breath in through his nose, “we’ll get her back, Ghost.” I furrowed my brows as I studied that photo, (Y/N)’s face permanently burned into my mind. If I closed my eyes, it would still be there, a perfect picture of her in one of her happiest moments. 

“I don’t know Graves very well, I couldn’t say if he’s killed her or not.” I paused, “if he hasn’t yet, he still might.”

“He won’t, Lt.” Soap assured me, “she is one of the best pilots I have ever seen. If Graves can, he will do everything possible to get her on his side. He has planes, helicopters, fighter jets, he has all the weapons at his disposal, he just needs a pilot to use them.”

I wanted to believe that. What Soap said was true, logically, it made sense. But with my emotions now mixed in with everything, logic was thrown out the window. “I hope you’re right about that.”

“Don’t you know by now? I’m always right.” Soap nudged my shoulder with his, “(Y/N) is a badass, she won’t let anything happen to herself. You don’t have to worry, Lt. We’ll get her back.”

I closed my fist around the polaroid, leaning my head on my knees for a moment. I felt Soap’s hand on my arm, I tensed up at the touch. Shrugging him off, I stood up and stepped outside so I could think in peace. Not that I didn’t appreciate Soap trying to help, but crying in front of my subordinate was not on my bucket list. 

I needed to get (Y/N) back. I needed her to be alive; if she wasn’t, I couldn’t be sure if I would be able to go on living in a world where she wasn’t. I touched the ring hung around my neck alongside my dog tags. 

When we got everyone out of their cells at base, I scoured around the entirety of the base looking for (Y/N). When I found her in solitary, a couple of cells down from where Alejandro had been kept, she was shrouded in shadow. 

I walked in, hearing her breathing shakily. The light coming in through the door allowed me to see the toes of her boots in the darkest corner of the room. “Sweetheart…” I surged forward and kneeled down in front of her. She had her head buried in her knees, not allowing herself to look at me, her arms covered her ears, so as to not hear me. Or whoever she thought I was. “(Y/N),” I reached out cautiously and gripped her forearm gently, not even really grabbing it, sliding my fingers along it. “Look at me, sweet girl.”

Her arms retracted slowly and she peaked at me, then I saw her eyes widen in the dark before she lunged forward, throwing her arms around me. Shaking and sniffling. “Simon…”

“Yeah, I’m here now, it’s okay,” I whispered, I pulled up my mask for a moment and kissed the side of her head. I held her close to me, reveling in the feeling of her warmth. Her closeness. Both of which told me she was alive, maybe not entirely well, but alive. “You’re gonna be okay.”

I felt her tears hit my neck, soaking through the cloth of my mask. She was still shaking. “I wanna go home now.”

“I know,” I stroked my gloved fingers through her hair, rocking her back and forth, still sitting on the gross concrete of the floor. She was sitting in my lap, clinging to me like a lifeline. “We will soon, baby.” 

It was concerning to me how…broken she seemed. We’d been in bad spots before, held hostage before, but she’d usually bounce back quickly when she was out of danger. She would usually pull herself together and get back to work. But she was still shaking, still crying, still clutching me like I’d disappear. 

Her face was buried into my shoulder, “I thought you were dead, Si.” Oh. Oh shit. There was a wet patch on my neck, soaking straight through the mask. 

I’d spent this whole time thinking of her being dead. It never occurred to me that she may not have seen me get away like I saw her get taken. “Oh, no, sweetheart.” I held her closer, “no, I’m right here.” I grabbed her hand and placed it on the opposite side of my neck she rested her face in, pressing two of her fingers against my pulse point. “I’m still here.” I allowed her to feel my heartbeat, I steadied the shaking of her hand with my own. 

I was never going to let her go again. I gripped the backs of her thighs and stood up, she wrapped her legs around me and held on tighter to me. I brought her up to where everyone else was, some of them hugging, others laughing and celebrating our small victory against Graves. 

(Y/N) was still shaking slightly in my arms and still hadn’t looked up from my neck. Soap stared at us as I carried her, so did everyone else who noticed us. But I couldn’t find it in myself to care. I cradled the back of her head, massaging her scalp as I tried to find an empty room for her to calm down in. 

I was okay now. My mission was now to take down Graves, then Hassan, and get my wife, my heart, home to her son.
