born in seoul, south korea to parents ryu i-seul and ji-young; was called their little miracle, "heaven-sent". had an idyllic childhood -- picturesque in all ways imaginable, -- until β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ.
she was orphaned at 13, and stayed at the β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ orphanage. during her time there, she quickly built up a record for breaking multiple rules, mainly sneaking out. regardless, her time there was short-lived: six months later she was already scouted. the β–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆ's β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ found her one night pickpocketing; apparently, he saw talent as he recruited her on the spot, straight off the streets of seoul. β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ seemed to have become a close parental figure to her ( unclear as she would not elaborate ). the β–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆ is not any clearer. the β–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆ is a mysterious organization, not much is known about the founder or existing members, outside of kai and β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ . what is known is that they dealt in a variety of "areas"; one of which being the sourcing out of specialized agents for heists; another, now known, after years of investigation, human trafficking ( though kai, at the time did not know of this ). they taught her nearly everything she knew and gave her an exceptional background in all things related to art. this seemed like a fair trade since just before the time of her recruitment, the reputation of the organization had been teetering downhill. as soon as she joined, every team she was assigned to succeeded without fail; rumour was, she was labelled a "heaven-sent" by the superiors for saving the organization from ruin. that's why at 17 she was sent on one of the largest hits yet.
at 17, she was sent to rome. target: β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆ. it was an undercover assignment; a long game. her cover was an art history student at the sapienza university of rome. at 20 she graduated with a genuine degree and it was likely at this time that she uncovered the trafficking side of her past organization. it is unknown how she found out and it is unknown if her mission was completed. she instantaneously cut ties with them and disappeared off the map.
for the next 3 years, she had been sighted all over europe, from london to budapest to reykjavik. according to the little details she provided, she had found herself a little group. she would not disclose the members of this team -- but we believe them to be β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆ, β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ, and β–ˆβ–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ. this team seems to be the ace unit -- because if our intelligence is correct, they are responsible for the thefts and repatriatization of over 500+ objects underground. she refuses to give any details but the way she speaks of this time, she seems to have thought of herself and this group as robin hood figures. during this period, her previous employer, the β–ˆ β–ˆβ–ˆ, started burning to the ground. multiple raids were happening in 2 of their known locations (seoul and rome). many lower-level participants were caught but the higher-ups are still in the winds it seems. she would not disclose her involvement in this, but she was likely the catalyst.
by 23, word of her exploits reached us. when she appeared in queens, new york, the hanging man took the opportunity to reach out and offer her a position. it is unclear why she left europe, why she was in new york, or where her team went. she speaks of them too fondly, too devotedly for them to have just simply parted ways; we believe they are all here somewhere in the city as well. for some reason, the boss immediately took a liking to her. she was even offered to have a master's at columbia university funded -- all to benefit her work they said. nonetheless, in the 4 years since she joined, the company has admittedly benefited immensely -- maybe she does have the "midas touch", maybe she is truly a heaven-sent. but everywhere she goes something inscrutable follows...
conclusion: for how deep she is in the company, we still don't know much about her. there are too many holes in her history -- she does appear loyal to us, but as we say: things are never as they seem around here. threat level: hard to tell low-medium. recommendation: keep a CLOSE eye.

β€œi don't believe a single shit that you just spewed.”
you scoff at your close friend seated on the camping chair adjacent to yours.
β€œhey, i'm just saying the truth.” Joshua defends himself with a shrug. his smile looks almost angelic under the glistening cascades of moonlight and the dying campfire.
almost is the key word. because there's a glint of something else lurking underneath his dilated pupils. he takes a sip from the canned beer, and a few drops trickle down his chin. he wipes it off with his sleeve.
β€œyour dick is a choking hazard? and a girl you slept with, told her friends that?”
β€œyep, that's right.” he hides his smirk behind the beer can. it seems that the liquor in your system is doing tricks on you as you watch his eyes dip down to the exposed skin of your collarbones.
you can’t help but laugh at his affirmation. your cheeks puff up, and your eyes crinkle as you do so. Joshua loves your laughter, and it makes him laugh as well. but he can only tongue his cheek now, watching you keel over with laughter.Β 
β€œi’m sorry, Josh. that’s the most out-of-pocket shit someone could say.” you take a breather and try to calm down. β€œhow did we land on the topic of cock, again?” 
it’s almost midnight. most of your friends have fallen asleep or are in their tents, scrolling through their phones. which leaves you and Joshua outside, watching the fire trickle down to embers and drinking the last cans of beer till you both pass out.Β 
but somehow, the conversation has changed lanes to your friend’s diabolical cock size.Β 
β€œbecause you told me that you walked in on Chan jerking off and didn’t expect him to be β€˜oh so huge!’” he mimics your voice, and you slap his shoulder while he laughs.Β 
β€œwell, i still don’t believe you. so,” you blow a raspberry at him and turn away to look at the sky. you are barely tipsy but feel light-headed because of the long hike and how spent your body is. the last thing you want on your mind is Joshua’s cock.Β 
but it’s safe to say that you’re intrigued.Β 
β€œyou don’t have to,” his voice echoes with a strum of his guitar. he must’ve picked it up again. but you don’t look at him. especially not with the way you’re all hot and bothered right now.Β 
β€œyou just have to see it.” you choke on your saliva and make the mistake of turning your head. he has shifted closer to you, his hair tickles your cheeks, and you see his eyes trained on your lips.Β 
β€œcalm down, player.” you huff and back off. but it’s you who needs to calm down. joshua appears very calm and collected with his sweet smile and shit. but you’re not buying any of that.Β 
β€œplayer?” his voice raises a pitch before he chuckles with a husky timbre. and his low voice sends shivers down your spine straight to your core. you tighten your thighs and wish that he doesn't notice it.Β 
β€œhey, it's not my fault people mistake my kindness for something more.”
β€œkindness? oh forgive me for not knowing that making out with every girl is an act of kindness.” 
β€œyou sound like you’re jealous.” 
he whispers into your ear. and you notice his closeness only now. his knee presses into yours as he manspreads, and he leans into your frame. the smell of beer and his signature scent hits your nose, forcing you to take a deep breath of fresh air.Β 
in your moment of silence, Joshua confirms his answer. β€œso you are jealous.” 
you don’t answer and shift in your chair, trying not to cast your gaze on his thighs. or, more specifically, his cock. which you’re pretty sure would be visible against the tightness of his pants.Β 
β€œuhh, i’m going to hit the bed. you should too.” that’s all you offer while walking away as fast as possible.
the path to your cabin is short, and you sigh, feeling stupid. obviously, he’s just playing. you’d have a hard time listing the girls he has not kissed because of the lack of them. maybe dares don’t count, but it’s still a blasphemous amount.Β 
entering the cabin, you immediately take off your counselor shirt and toss it on your bed. you go through your bag, trying to find a sweatshirt you could wear.Β Β 
β€œwoah, no bra?” 
you yelp in surprise and cover yourself with your hands. you don’t need to turn around to figure out who that is.Β 
β€œjoshua, can you not fucking knock?!” 
β€œcalm down, this is my cabin too.” 
your heart palpitates when he closes the door and walks towards his bed, which is adjacent to yours. you scramble to wear any piece of cloth you can find and lie down on your bed as soon as possible.Β 
you don’t hear a single sound from his side, so you turn in the bed to look at him. which adds to your fluster as you find him already looking at you. he doesn’t utter a word, continuing to look at you. you hold eye contact, mesmerized by the deep brown of his eyes.Β 
β€œwhat?” you ask, voice barely above a whisper.Β 
β€œjust curious,” he shakes his head, eyes still gazing deep into yours.Β 
β€œabout?” 
β€œhow you’d look, trying to take my cock in.”
your mouth runs dry and you lick your lips, still not breaking eye contact. a fuzzy warm feeling pools in your stomach and your hard nipples graze against the material of your shirt. you sit up, done with this game of push and pull.Β 
he follows suit, watching you walk towards him. you offer him no words and kneel on the floor while looking up at him. joshua sucks in a sharp breath, trying to contain himself. his finger grazes against your cheekbones, softly pushing back stray hairs.Β 
he groans when you press your palm against his boner. he leans back, observing you with a lazy smile. you try not to vocalize your surprise when you confirm that Joshua is not lying. the sheer outline of his cock intimidates you. your nails dig into his thighs, and he snickers at you.Β 
β€œscared, honey?” his voice is saccharine, and he looks at you with such adoration. but you know, behind that sweet mask lies something better left undisturbed.Β 
and you’re treading on the very line that will disturb it. but it doesn’t scare you. it excites you. somehow, the thought of Joshua breaking his demeanor fills your veins with adrenaline.Β 
more excited than scared. the response lies on the tip of your tongue, and you want to say it. the little liquor in your system gives you a confidence boost. you hook your finger under the waistband of his briefs and pull it down with one smooth pull.Β 
his cock springs free, and you’re rendered speechless for a second. Joshua’s cock is long and girthy. his pretty pink tip oozes with pearls of precum, and he’s well-groomed. you never thought you’d describe a dick as pretty, but here you are.
you finally find the courage to wrap your hand around his length. you bite your lip, squeezing his cock that lays heavy on your hand. he shudders and sighs at your touch. you lean forward and lick the precum off his tip.Β 
β€œfuck,” he curses, carding his hand through his hair. he sounds so hot, and it makes you envy all the girls he’s slept with before.Β 
you’re still hesitant to wrap your lips around his cock, and he senses it. β€œwant some help?” he offers, and you impatiently nod.Β 
he chuckles, standing on his feet. you wait patiently on your knees, watching him discard his shirt.Β 
β€œyou think too much, you know?”
before you can ask him what he means, he slaps his cock on your cheek. any and every thought evaporates from your brain, and you can only focus on how good it feels.
you don't say anything but stare up at him with glassy eyes and an open mouth. he laughs, and a devilish tint lurks behind his irises.
β€œlike getting slapped by my cock?” his other hand holds your nape, and you nod eagerly. you lift your hands to rest them on his thighs and close your eyes.
he tugs your hair, forcing you to look at him. β€œlook at me.”
he slaps his cock on your face again. and again, and again. and again till you're absolutely cock drunk, begging to have him down your throat. he slaps his cock one last time on your face. you whine, digging your nails into his thighs.
he chuckles again, cooing at you. β€œopen your mouth.”
you obey, letting your mouth hang open for him. he teases the tip of his oozing cock by rubbing it on your lower lip. you push out your tongue, causing him to chuckle. he taps his cock on your tongue before pushing the tip in.
you hum in content and suck on his tip, swirling your tongue around it. you tease his slit, tracing it with your tongue. joshua bites his lip, and his eyebrows knit in pleasure.
β€œfuck,” he groans, a sound that fills your heart with pride.
β€œgonna go a bit deeper, yeah?” you hum around his cock, and he curses.
he pushes your head down his cock, gently. you open your mouth to accommodate him, but the ache in your jaw stops you. you make a noise, stopping him. he does, waiting for you to adjust to his girth.
his fingers caress the side of your face and your nape, causing you to shiver when he brushes a sensitive spot on your neck. his other hand gently holds back your hair. you look at him, nodding your head.
you feel the ache in your jaw lessen when he pulls out, leaving only the tip in. it's soon taken away as he fills your mouth again. he continues so at a mild pace.
you swirl your tongue around his cock, and suck in your cheeks as much as you can. he goes a bit deeper, and you gag, tears pricking your eyes. he moans shamelessly, his movements a bit lazier now.
he pulls out again, and you gasp for breath. a string of saliva connects your lips to his tip. he slaps his cock on your lip, enjoying the wet feeling and sound. it sends a shiver of pleasure to your core as well, which is now soaking.
your panties stick to your core like a second skin. you're afraid that your arousal would drip down your leg. your cunt clenches around nothing and your hard nipples graze against your shirt. the thought of him fucking you fills you with ecstasy.
with your newfound enthusiasm, you move forward, taking his tip between your lips. you maintain eye contact as you do so. you bob your head up and down, gagging at times as you do so. your nails graze the back of his thighs in a pleasurable manner.
β€œoh god,” he stops your movements, taking a deep breath to compose himself. his abs strain and a few veins pop up at his neck.
β€œjustβ€”just tap my thighs thrice if it's too much, ok?” you blink and nod at him. you relax your jaw and wait for him.
even though you prepare yourself, it still takes you by surprise. he pushes his cock inside in one go and holds your head. you gag and choke, feeling tears stream down your face and drool down your chin.
his hand grips the back of your head, and you feel him twitch in your mouth. your nose brushes against his pelvis and your lips touch the base of his cock.
he feels heavy in your mouth, and you choke on him again, more tears falling from your eyes. he pulls out with ease, and you cough and breathe as much as you can.
you look like an absolute mess right now, a heavenly mess, Joshua thinks. with tears and drool coating your face, your lips swollen, and god, the fucking way you're looking at him.
β€œthink i'm a choking hazard, yet?”
you laugh, but it's cut off when your throat hurts. he giggles and apologizes sheepishly.
β€œso? should i cum inside your mouth, or?” he teases.
β€œfuck me, please.”
he curses under his breath, pulling you up to crash his lips against yours. you fall on his bed with him hovering over you. his lips are gentle at first, but the kiss turns deep. his tongue glides over yours, and he kisses you deeply. the ache between your legs grows as you feel his tongue slide over the places his cock was touching a few seconds ago.
his hand wraps around your neck gently, and he squeezes the side occasionally. he pulls away, gasping for air. his chest is pressed to yours, and you feel his heart hammering the way yours does.
his cock grazes against the skin of your thighs, heightening your arousal. β€œjoshua, please fuck me, already.” you whine, nails scratching his back.
β€œso impatient,” he smiles, kissing your forehead.
he helps remove your shirt and groans at the sight of your hardened nipples. his hands fly to your chest to fondle and squeeze your breasts. he rolls the bud between his fingers and flicks them gently.
he glides his hand down your waist till he finds the hem of your shorts and pulls it down. you relax on his bed with a sigh. it feels so erotic to spread your legs in front of someone you deem a good friend. not to mention that you were choking on said friend's cock a few minutes ago.
you don't miss the smirk that plays on his lips as he observes your stained panties. and it makes you shy, causing you to close your legs, but he stops you. his hands resting on your inner thigh to spread your legs out.
he slowly removes the only clothing left on your body. the arousal sticks to your panty as he peels it off you. he tosses the cloth away and massages your inner thighs, slowly working up his way to your folds.
his fingers prod between your folds, rubbing them up and down and feeling the wetness of your soaking cunt. his thumb brushes your clit, and you fold your legs, bringing them closer to your chest.
he circles your clit, sending waves of pleasure through your body. he leans down to kiss your cunt, and lick the arousal dripping down it.
β€œnot now,” you push his head away, way too eager to take his cock. he kisses your folds before finally pulling away. he looks up at you, smiling softly, but you don’t miss the mischief swirling in his eyes. he kisses your lips again, hands wandering down your body.Β 
his cock presses on your thighs, and you whimper, almost begging for him. β€œwe don’t have condoms, though. is that fine?”
β€œyes, i’m on pills.” you say in a nasal tone, your own hands discovering his body.Β 
β€œand as long as you don’t have any virus, i’m fine.” you finish, looking at him dead in the eye. he scoffs, rolling his eyes. β€œi kiss, ok? i don’t get dirty as often.” 
β€œif you say so,” you sing, pulling him closer and pressing your chest to his.Β 
β€œfuck.” he whispers, slotting his lips on yours.Β Β 
he breaks the kiss and rubs your thighs. he adores you with his eyes before moving away to align himself to your entrance. he rubs his tip on your folds, and you gasp. β€œthis is gonna hurt a bit,”
and god does it fucking hurt. you have seen guys with his length before, but the girth takes your breath away. you moan with a moan to your eyes and curl to your toes. joshua rubs your nub to distract you from the pain. his other hand strokes your thigh and stomach gently.Β 
when you seem accommodated enough, he pushes in further. and he does so till he’s deep inside you. it takes everything in him not to push it in one go. the wet warmth of your walls makes him lose his mind, and your clenching doesn’t help either.Β 
he takes a firm hold of your hips and presses his hand flat on your tummy. he feels his cock through you, and it makes him moan with a bite to his lips. he rests his hand on either side of your head. β€œwrap your legs around me,” you quickly obey.Β 
who knew you’d become such a mindless slut for Joshua’s cock? and who could even blame you? his cock stretches your walls with a delicious pain. and you can’t help but clench around him, sucking him in further and further. your hole flutters around his cock, and you’re more than pleased to see the effect you have on him.Β 
you play with your nipples as he prepares to pull away. he looks at your hands before slapping them away, β€œtch, bad girl.” 
he pulls out, except for his tip, and you immediately feel empty. he guides his cock inside you again, and you moan when he stretches you out again. he sighs before pulling out again. this time, he snaps his hips to yours in a quick motion.Β 
he pauses to observe your reaction. β€œfuck!” you yell, your abdomen fluttering with the deep breaths you take. he takes it as a sign to continue. he snaps his hips again with a vigor he hasn’t shown previously. his moans sync with yours as he continues to thrust in and out of your cunt.
your hands fly to wrap around his strong shoulders as the bed beneath you trembles with his thrusts. his cock drives into your cunt, filling you to the brim. but he’s careful to not hurt you, ending up using only half of his length.Β 
he undoes your legs around him and shifts to stand on the floor. he pulls you with him, and you yelp. β€œshh, don’t want them to find out what we’re doing, do you?” he places his forefinger on your lips and caresses your cheek.Β 
β€œdon’t care,” you whisper, and it takes him by surprise. the change in your behavior fuels him to only fuck you harder. he grips your hips, using them to maneuver your movements. he eases in, filling you entirely, and pulls out, only to slam his cock back in.Β 
β€œfuck, see that?” he asks, interrupting your moans and whines. you lift your head, looking at his cock stretch you out. but that’s not what he’s talking about. he slams back in, and you see a bulge in your stomach. you gasp, your walls fluttering at the sight of the bulge.Β 
joshua fucks you harder, focusing his eyes on the bulge, and your clenching drives him over the edge. he looks up to find you focusing on the bulge as well. one of his hands finds your face, squeezing your cheeks together.Β 
he leans in, kissing your puckered lips harshly. his thrust only turns rougher with each passing second. the sound of skin slapping, your whimpers mixed in with his moans, and the distinct creak of the bed serve as a drug for Joshua. he picks you up, and you wrap your arms and legs around him in instinct.
you cling to him as he fucks you in the air. you don’t even have time to be impressed by his strength because his cock occupies every space in your mind. his cock screws into your cunt, harder and harder each time. you whine, nails digging into his shoulders.Β 
his thrusts turn erratic, hips stuttering desperately to meet yours. he gasps, and his cock twitches with the need to release. fuck, he needs to come inside you. the mere idea of it drives him to fuck you with more strength.Β 
your moans get louder, surely to catch the attention of bypassers outside the cabin. his gasps and moans make you look at him. his head is thrown back, and he fucks you mindlessly. his Adam’s apple bobs when he swallows, and you’re overcome with the need to mark it. a sheen of sweat coats his body, and the light shimmers off it, making him look heavenly.Β 
he pulls you closer, pressing his chest to yours. he shifts one of his hands to hold your weight, grabbing your ass, and the other wraps around your upper back. you grind your hips, chasing some friction. he groans, tongue darting out to meet yours.Β 
you eagerly welcome his tongue, tilting your head to kiss him deeply. your moans are swallowed by him, and both his hands now grip your ass. he kneads them in his hands, fucking you faster each time you clench around him.Β 
β€œfuck! fuck!” he curses, hips stuttering to meet yours. your toes curl, and you scratch his back, biting his shoulder to quiet down your screams. you clench around him one last time and climax on his cock.Β 
with a final thrust, he succumbs to his pleasure, releasing his load inside of you. you moan in unison, and he rushes to place you on the bed. he falls on top of you, cock still planted deep inside your cunt. he twitches, releasing the last of his load inside of you.Β 
he doesn’t pull out, opting to stay inside you as he rests his forehead on yours. your legs tremble, and you take frequent breaths to calm down from the high.
β€œbelieve me, now?” your eyes are closed, but you can feel his smirk. you kiss him to shut him up, not wanting to hear his bragging.
with a kiss on your forehead, he pulls out. you hiss, your cunt feels empty, and you almost whine for him to put it back in. he falls to your side on the bed. you both lay breathless and stare up at the ceiling.
your legs and your core feel sore. a sigh leaves your lips, knowing you can't walk tomorrow without looking like a duckling.
β€œi'm calling in sick, tomorrow.” you inform yourβ€”what is he to you now, anyway?
his hand caresses your legs and sides as he cuddles up next to you. you snuggle into his warmth, slumber filling your veins.
β€œthat bad?” you're too tired to retort his teasing.
β€œyeah. turns out your cock isn't just a choking hazard, it's also a health hazard.”
his laughter echoes through the walls of your cabin, and he hugs you tighter. you fall asleep with a smile on your face.

Hey can you do a reaction to Slytherin boys reacting to the reader being a bookworm ?
Thankyou πŸ’—πŸ’—
SLYTHERIN GUYS REACTION TO YOU BEING A BOOKWORM | βœ§βΊγ€‚
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing : ( Mattheo , Tom , Theodore, Lorenzo, Draco ) x reader
Note : tysm for the request and i hope you enjoy it hehe 🀭🀭
Warnings : none
Tumblr media
Mattheo Riddle
Even though Mattheo thinks reading sessions are about as thrilling as watching paint dry compared to his usual parties, he puts on a brave face for your sake because he loves you so much . He sticks around while you bury your nose in books, though his mind might wander to livelier activities. Despite the occasional yawn, he's willing to endure the quiet moments for his darling , he is a romantic and caring guy afterall
Tho he'll complain and whine all the while you won't pay attention to him and roll his eyes upon your books
Tom Riddle
Tom secretly enjoys the peaceful vibe when you're both lost in your own literary worlds. He won't admit it out loud, but he finds it oddly comforting to share comfortable silences with you, even if he'd rather be plotting world domination. Who knew the Dark Lord had a soft spot for reading?
He'd leave some of his books on your table so you'd read them , he loves seeing you smile while you read something interesting especially of his choice , your reactions making him obsessed fall deeper for you .
Theodore Nott
Theodore scratches his head trying to figure out why you're so obsessed with books, but he's a good sport about it. He might ask you why on earth you spend so much time with your nose buried in pages, but hey, to each their own, right? As long as you're happy, he's cool with it, even if he doesn't get it.
He is someone who is smart without much effort - that is the reason he doesn't understand your affection with books , which also has some people wonder why he's not into ravenclaw but then his Slytherin tendencies prove his loyalty to his house
Lorenzo Berkshire
Lorenzo is like a kid in a candy store when he realizes you both share a love for books. He's all in, racing you to finish books first and gleefully bragging when he beats you to the last page. Who knew reading could be such a competitive sport? But hey, it's all in good fun, right?
He's also a very literature typa guy so he'd have you on his lap while you're cuddled into him and you're both reading the same book . You have many of your dates in the library and none of you seem to mind .
Draco Malfoy
Draco puts up a fuss about your bookworm tendencies, claiming they're not even close to being as exciting as qudditch or poker or any other rich kid shit he has done . But secretly, he's low-key intrigued by what you're reading. He'll grumble about it, of course, but then he'll sneakily ask about the plot or characters, trying to act like he's not interested. Classic Draco, always putting on a show.
He's also very bratty so he'll be annoyed af if he's speaking and you'll tell him to shut up because you're on a good part atm coz sweetheart does he look like he cares ? He does
γ€‚γ€€γ€€γ€€γ€€βœ§γ€€γ€€γ€€γ€€βΊγ€€ γ€€  。

Between the lines
Lando Norris x Law student!reader
A/N: ok amma just act like i didn’t ghost this app for months and came out if nowhere but here we are ig. Also the Brazilian gp??? What the heck like wild race istg😭
Tumblr media
It all started one night in Monaco, on a break from law school. You were on vacation with a friend, celebrating the rare freedom that came with a brief pause in your intense study schedule. A night at the casino was not usually your scene, but your friend had insisted.
After about an hour, she’d struck up a flirtatious conversation with some guy who’d been lingering by the bar. You waved her off, telling her you’d be fine, and took a seat on your own near a roulette table.
That’s when he walked up. Unassuming at first, with that messy hair and a slightly cocky smile that had β€œtrouble” written all over it.
β€œMind if I join you?” he asked, a hint of an accent in his voice.
You shrugged, amused. β€œGo for it. But I’m not particularly good at this.”
He chuckled. β€œNeither am I.”
You exchanged a few more jokes, but it didn’t take long for him to introduce himself, giving you his number in a smooth, unhurried way.
β€œLando,” he said, his eyes glinting with mischief.
You stashed the number away without much thought. It was only the next day, when you mentioned the encounter to your little sister over FaceTime, that you realized who he actually was.
β€œSome guy named Lando gave me his number at the casino,” you’d said offhandedly. Her jaw dropped.
β€œWait, Lando who??.”
You blinked, stunned, and then laughed. β€œI don’t know, apparently he’s famous”
β€œso it’s lando fucking norris what” she said wide eyed
She rolled her eyes, muttering, β€œOnly my sister would be this oblivious to F1 drivers. I’ve been a die-hard fan since I was, like, ten, and you meet one without even knowing?”
From there, you let yourself get to know him, intrigued by how normal he seemed compared to the hype you’d suddenly realized surrounded him. When he asked you out, you thought, why not? You were used to focusing on your studies and keeping your personal life private, so it didn’t seem like much would change. But with Lando, everything was different.
-
Months later, you’d fallen into an unexpected but steady rhythm with Lando. Despite his career, he managed to keep things low-key. Neither of you posted much about each other. Hell, you barely posted anything at all. You were still a law student with a private life, and the last thing you wanted was for the whole world to know who you were dating.
One evening, you were lying on his couch, scrolling through your phone, when Lando turned to you with a sly grin.
β€œBabe, you know… you’re eventually gonna get caught, right? Someone’s going to snap a picture of us, and then the cat’s out of the bag,” he teased, nudging your leg with his.
You groaned, rolling your eyes. β€œOh, sure, because every random person with a camera is just dying to know who you’re dating.”
He snickered, leaning in closer. β€œMaybe. But you know, it could be kinda nice… to go out sometimes. Like, properly. We don’t have to make a big deal of it.”
You hesitated, biting your lip. As much as you loved being with him, the idea of being recognizedβ€”or worse, photographedβ€”made you cringe. Your accounts were private, your life simple, and you weren’t sure how you’d feel about people seeing you with him.
But, at the same time, you knew it wasn’t fair to keep him hidden away forever. So, you took a deep breath and gave him a small smile. β€œWhat if we make a deal?”
His eyebrows shot up in interest. β€œI’m listening.”
β€œYou can have me at the paddock,” you said, already dreading the idea. β€œBut my accounts stay private, no tags, no β€˜girlfriend reveals’ on Instagram. I’ll show up, I’ll be there for you but I’m not trying to become some celebrity.”
He grinned, leaning in to kiss you softly. β€œDeal. Although I can’t promise you won’t end up in a couple of team photos. You know how they love to catch every damn moment.”
You chuckled, trying not to think too hard about what you were signing up for.
-
A couple of weeks later, you were lying in bed with Lando, scrolling mindlessly through Instagram, when you felt a pang of guilt.
β€œI never actually told you about my sister,” you said suddenly.
β€œOh?” He looked over at you with interest.
β€œYeah, she’s been obsessed with F1 since she was like, ten,” you explained, laughing softly. β€œShe’s begged me to take her to a race for years, but I was always too busy with school. Now she’s a full-on Ferrari fan… and she’s probably never going to forgive me for dating you.”
He grinned, intrigued. β€œA Ferrari fan, huh? That’s rough. Maybe I can convince her to switch sides.”
You snorted. β€œGood luck. She’s already sworn allegiance to Sebastian Vettel. In her words, McLaren’s colors are β€˜an offense to her soul.’”
Lando laughed, shaking his head. β€œWell, in that case, we’ll have to win her over somehow. Why don’t we bring her to a race? I’ll make sure she gets the best seats, full experience,
You raised an eyebrow, surprised. β€œShe’d lose her mind. Seriously. Are you sure? Because I can tell you right now, she’d never root for McLaren.
β€œAbsolutely,” he said, squeezing your hand. β€œIf she’s as big a fan as you say, she deserves a proper race weekend. Plus, I think it’s time we officially break her β€˜Ferrari-only’ heart.”
-
On race day, you and Lando arrived at the paddock, and immediately, heads turned. You’d chosen a classic, chic outfit and despite your initial nerves, you managed to keep your cool.
You spotted your sister down the row, and her jaw dropped as soon as she saw you. She approached, barely able to contain her excitement, though she shot a mock glare at Lando.
β€œSuch a shame I don’t like McLaren,” she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
β€œYeah, yeah,” he replied with a grin. β€œYou just wait. One lap, and you’ll be a fan.”
She rolled her eyes, but you could tell she was thrilled, practically bouncing on her heels as she looked around at the spectacle. She turned to you, eyes wide with disbelief. β€œYou’re really here… at a race. I don’t know whether to thank you or disown you.”
You laughed, nudging her playfully. β€œI’m still not a fan, if that helps.”
She huffed, pretending to be offended. β€œI guess I’ll forgive you. But only if you bring me every single time from now on.”
The rest of the day passed in a blur of cameras, fans, and the hum of engines. You couldn’t deny the rush of excitement that came with being part of the chaos, even if it meant being in the public eye. And when you saw your sister’s face, completely lit up as she took in every second, it felt worth it.
-
The relationship slowly became public, just as you and Lando had agreed. You kept your accounts locked down, but fans began to recognize you, and a few photos of you two at the paddock circulated on social media.
Your sister stayed true to her Ferrari fandom, texting you regularly to tease you about your β€œbetrayal.” But every now and then, you’d catch her slipping in a comment about McLaren usually something along the lines of, β€œOkay, that car looks pretty badass.”
One evening, Lando turned to you with a satisfied grin. β€œI think we’re doing alright, don’t you think?”
You looked around the Monaco apartment you’d somehow started calling β€œhome” without even realizing it, at the life you’d built together. You leaned over, giving him a soft kiss. β€œYeah, I think so, too.”
In the end, you realized you didn’t need to post, announce, or shout your relationship from the rooftops. Being there for each other was enough, even if it meant sharing some of the spotlight.
After all, Lando may have been the one the world wanted to see, but you were his, and that was more than enough.

ghost comes home
the 141 needs a place to sleep for the night and your house happens to be here. (simon introduces his secret wife to the task force, and it gets steamy after)

ghost trudged up the hill, already regretting his decision. the 141 needed a place to lay low for the night, and of course they happened to be a mile from your remote summer home. he had a feeling you’d be there too, and here he was bringing four killing machines to your door in the middle of your summer vacation.
they had stopped before the door, and soap was itching with curiosity. it was a cozy lake house, two stories tall and perfect for a small family. there was a car in the driveway and the front porch lights were on, but he didn’t have any clue as to what, or who, awaited them inside. even though ghost had his mask on, soap could still sense how reluctant he looked. β€œdon’t ask questions. come here.” ghost led them around the house to a small shed, wood on the outside but surprisingly modern on the inside. he opened up a military standard weapons storage unit and pointed at it. β€œevery single gun, knife, grenade, weapon. in here.” price had started removing his weaponry but gaz and soap did a double take. β€œl.t. you’re saying go completely weaponless? what if-β€œ β€œif you can’t defend yourself with your bare hands that’s your problem, not mine. if you want to sleep outside, go ahead.” ghost said definitively. gaz and soap complied, and soon the group looked a lot closer to four guys on a camping trip than a ruthless task force. they went to the front of the house again, and ghost pulled out a key. β€œdon’t make noise, don’t touch anything, don’t sit. the lights are going to be off. shoes off at the door.” the anxiety was getting to soap, he had no clue where they were but with how protective ghost seemed, he had a feeling he was going to know a lot more about his l.t. soon.
ghost opened the door, instantly greeted with the after smell of those lavender candles you always lit. it was dark except for the lowlights he had installed last june so that you could see when you came downstairs at midnight for a snack. he saw your books on the breakfast table and your slippers in the living room, the comforting feeling of home covering him like a warm blanket. he took his shoes off and walked quietly to the stairs, knowing every squeak and how to avoid them. a door upstairs opened and he swore underneath his breath, not wanting to wake you until the morning, but of course you’d seen his location and wanted to say hello.
it was midnight, and you had just finished a particularly smutty chapter in your romance book when you got the notification that the door had been opened. you checked simon’s location and of course it was him. you flung of the covers and opened your door, greeted with a silent house except for the sounds of fabric moving. you looked down the stairs and there he was, skull mask shining in the moonlight. you rushed down the stairs and jumped into his arms, reveling in the feeling of home. β€œhi si.” you said breathlessly, legs tightening around his waist. β€œhi, dove. did i wake you?” you pulled up his mask for a long kiss, heart beating finally finally. β€œno, i was reading.” β€œaye, one of those dirty romance books, hm?” you giggled as he knew you so well. β€œmaybe so. you’ll just have to come upstairs and…” you trailed off, having looked over his shoulder into the living room where three giant men stood awkwardly. you climbed out of his arms (simon huffed), intrigued by the situation at hand. β€œyou brought company?” you turned on the lights to reveal the three strangers.
soap blinked and couldn’t believe his eyes. there was his l.t., a 6’4 killer on the battlefield, with his mask half up his chin, hand around your waist, and love in his eyes. and of course, there was you. you didn’t seem nervous to have three intimidating men in your living room, if anything you looked excited. you seemed molded to ghost, your movement reflecting each other for maximum physical contact at all times. quickly, you pulled down ghost’s mask so the team didn’t have the chance to glimpse his face. you moved forward with a small smile, head cocking as you analyzed the men in front of you. β€œdove, this is-β€œ β€œthe 141. i’ve heard a lot about you. didn’t expect to meet you all in my pajamas.”
β€œyou’re much better looking than us anyways.” soap replied, diffusing the tension. he didn’t miss how ghost’s hand tightened on your waist and his eyes narrowed. this was going to be fun.
β€œwell it’s lovely to meet you all, though i’m not sure why it’s right now. i’m -β€œ β€œmrs. riley.” ghost cut in. β€œyou will address her as such.” you smacked his chest playfully as he looked down at you, eyes switching from cold protectiveness to endearment. β€œnonsense. you can call me by my name.” you said, extending your hand to price. β€œyou must be captain price. and you’re wearing your hat!” the greetings continued in a similar fashion as you remarked upon everyone’s unique physical indicators, known from simon’s constant stories about the group. after realizing the military was in fact in your living room, a slight tension curled up your spine. simon noticed immediately, of course, and turned you both around, giving you a sense of relief. β€œguns in the house?” you whispered, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth. that was the one requirement you had. β€œnever, love. they’re in the shed.” you relaxed instantly. β€œokay, they can stay. are you staying?” your thumb laid over his hand, tracing the veins you had memorized thousands of times before. β€œyou’ve got me for one night. transport comes at noon tomorrow. you sure you’re okay with this? we can camp outside. just happened to be near the house and needed a place to sleep.” β€œof course i’m okay with it, si. i trust you. and now i have you for one night.” you ended with a smirk, knowing your husband would not get a lick of sleep tonight. β€œwe have two guest bedrooms, so you’ll have to share.” you announced, turning back to the group. β€œi’ll go ready the rooms.” simon whispered into your ear, squeezing your waist once before going upstairs. he didn’t want to leave you alone but he trusted his men, and didn’t want you to work more than you had to. he never did.
β€œwell,” you plopped down in your favorite chair, the men still standing awkwardly. β€œsit down. we’ve got about five minutes to answer your questions before my husband whisks me away for the night.” soap sat down eagerly, bouncing with energy as he readied all his questions. gaz took in the scene before him, and only had one burning question. β€œcaptain, why aren’t you surprised?” price turned to him with a small smile, taking his hat off out of respect. you answered for him. β€œjohn and i have talked before, just never in person. there’s a lot of paperwork to do when you want to marry a ghost who’s in a secret task force.” you played with your ring finger unconsciously, and though your ring was off as you had been preparing for sleep, they could all see the tan outline on your fingers. β€œi’ve known about mrs. riley here for a while, but her existence is the only thing ghost told me.” price added in. he was big on respect, but even he was excited to meet ghost’s secret wife. the one who has extended secret protection whenever he was deployed, the one whose ring he wore next to his dog tags.Β 
β€œi think you want to rapid fire interrogate.” you said with a smile, turning to soap. β€œlet’s do it”.
β€œwhere’d you meet?”
β€œmanchester.”
β€œhow?”
β€œi spilled my drink on him in a cafe. might have been on purpose to get him to talk to me.”
β€œyou’re the perfect lass for him. how long have you been together?”
β€œfour together, two married.”
they all exhaled a breath at that. for four years, ghost had been carrying a secret. with his past, or as much as he told them, they knew why, but it was still a blow.
β€œhe loves you guys. he wanted to tell you all, we’d been planning it. just not like this. he kind of hoped someone would notice the ring on his dog tags and bring it up, but i had a feeling you all were a bit scared of him.” you could sense the tension and wanted to show simon’s thinking process to them as much as you could without spilling his secrets. with his past, he had been so worried about you being in danger. it was one of your agreements that he’d tell them in his time, and never before.
β€œwhat do you do?”
β€œi’m an author, hence the books.”
there were books everywhere. the shelves, the tables, the floor. in fact, with the lights on, soap now noticed a small ball of fur cuddled with a book under the coffee table.
β€œdid ghost build this place?”
β€œbasically. it was a fixer-upper. he gave it to me for our honeymoon and he’s been working on it ever since. it’s my getaway when i want to write.” soap spotted ghost coming down the stairs, and wanted to make the last question less personal, just in case.
β€œhow do you deal with the bad jokes?” you opened your mouth to reply, but simon’s hand rested on your shoulder and you closed it. β€œenough. your rooms are ready.” simon said in a gruff voice, wanting to be alone with his wife already. you knew what that tone meant, and you rubbed your thighs together in anticipation. you guided the men to their rooms, gaz and soap splitting one, making sure they had everything they needed. then finally, finally, you went into your room with simon and locked the door.
β€œhi again.” you said shyly as he gathered you into his arms. β€œyou good? overwhelmed?” he asked, knowing he had intruded on your solitude without warning. β€œi should be asking you that. are you okay?” you guided him to your bed, sitting him down on the edge. he sighed, and you slowly pulled off his mask, giving him time to stop you. with his face finally revealed, you pulled him in for a deep kiss, moaning at the taste of your husband. β€œi’ve missed you.” simon finally said, avoiding your last question. β€œme too.” you kissed his forehead, his hairline, trailing down to his cheeks and chin. reverent. it had been two months, not the longest you’ve gone without him, but still you never got used to the time alone. his hand twitched as he showed the number three with his fingers. a while ago, you had a long conversation about showing your emotions. when either of you were too overwhelmed, you used your hands to show it. one meant needing alone time, two meant panic attack, and three meant being together and moving to a different subject. you gave him a small smile, running your hands through his hair, shorter now that he was deployed. β€œlet me make you feel good.” you whispered, and he nodded, putting his trust in you easily.
you unclipped his gear, slowly, surely. slipping off his vest, guiding his arms. you slid off his gloves one by one. simon loved how you treated him delicately, so different from his life in the military. there were no threats, no enemies to think about, just you and him in this quiet room. he’d soundproofed it last year after the incident with your parents, so there were no worries about disturbing his teammates. with his gear off, you took off his shirt, bringing it over his head and throwing it into the corner. his scars were fully visible, and you kissed each one with pleasure. β€œlet” kiss β€œme” kiss β€œmake” kiss β€œyou” kiss β€œfeel” kiss β€œgood” kiss. he was slowly coming back to his body, the overwhelmed feeling disappearing with your love and affection. β€œyeah, love? gonna make me come?” he grinned, pushing the hair out of your face as you lowered yourself to his crotch.Β 
he helped you take off his jeans, leaving him only in his boxers while you were still fully clothed, the contrast making him hard. you breathed over his hardness, a contrast to the cool ac. he gathered your hair in one fist, giving him a full view of you hungrily looking at his cock. β€œtake it out.” he ordered, and you complied, untucking him from his boxers. β€œi’m glad you introduced me to everyone today. you did so well.” you said, your words warming his heart. he liked praise, sometimes, and you were trying to make this as good as possible, not knowing when you’d see him next. β€œhad to make sure they knew my wife who sucks my cock so well.” he replied. β€œyou gonna actually suck it, or you just gonna kneel there, looking so pretty on your knees?” you chuckled at his words. slowly, you licked him from base to tip, satisfied with the groan he gave you in return. β€œspit” you said, offering him your hand. he complied, and you brought it down back to his cock, working your hand up and down. you started with kitten licks, feeling him jerk in your hands at every touch. wetness pooled in your pajama shorts, and you shifted, letting the seam of the fabric work at your aching clit. β€œstop teasing or i-” he stopped with a moan as you put his entire length in your mouth, hollowing your cheeks. you hummed and his cock twitched. you worked your mouth up and down, using your hand when you couldn’t go all the way. seeing him undone was turning you on as you shifted on your knees, letting your shorts work your clit. you swirled your tongue around his tip and went back down, your other hand gripping his balls with a short squeeze.Β 
he bucked into you, and you knew he was close as he started fucking your face. he reached the back of your mouth and tears streamed down your face, but you didn’t make him stop. your hand left his balls and went down to your clit, pushing your palm against it to find the friction you were chasing. β€œdoes getting your face fucked turn you on, dove? my little wife?” you whimpered and he moaned, pulling you closer to his cock. β€œgonna come on your face, open up.” he withdrew, sticky strings of saliva connecting your lips to his cock. you put your hand back on it and stroked, ropes of cum landing on your face and neck. your tongue darted out to taste him and he groaned, laying down fully on the bed. β€œthat was so good, lovie. you did so well, come β€˜ere.” you climbed on top of him, thighs messy with your own wetness. β€œneed you inside me, si. need to come.” you stripped off your shirt and shorts, tits bouncing in his face. he took your nipple in his mouth and you groaned, hands pushing against the headboard to keep yourself upright. simon’s hands came to your hips, sitting you down with his half-hard cock against your ass. β€œgive me a second.” he said in a raspy voice. β€œokay, old man.” you replied cheekily. he slapped your ass and you giggled. laughter turned to moans as his hand slid down, putting two fingers inside you. β€œlook at you, so greedy for my cock. have you been fucking yourself with the toys i got you?” his other hand tweaked your nipple, a bit of pain in a rush of pleasure. β€œi have, thinking of you. been missing your cock.” his thumb circled your clit just the way you liked it as his other hand went up from your nipple, choking you. β€œshow me.” he withdrew his fingers and you whimpered as he licked them. you shifted backwards, impaling yourself on him. β€œsi, its too much.” you had forgotten how big he was, and you felt so full, stuffed with his cock. β€œyou can take it, wife.” you both sat there for a minute, letting your leaking cunt adjust to his cock. his hands massaged your nipples, getting you wetter and wetter. β€œwait, i have a surprise for you.” you leaned over to your bedside table, still full of simon, and pulled out a small box. simon sat up a bit and opened it, smirking as he took in the contents. he withdrew the gold clamps, setting the box aside. his hand grasped your left tit as he sucked it slightly, then withdrew. he opened the clamp and closed it around your hard nipple, an electric shock of pain running through your system. β€œyou like wearing jewelry for me, hm? looking pretty, all stuffed with my cock while the boys are sound asleep next door. wonder if they’re thinking about you, wife.” you gasped, images of being shared with simon’s teammates running through your mind. you had had threesomes with simon before, but never with that many participants. while you were distracted, he closed the clamp around your other nipple. he tugged on the chain connecting them, bringing your mind back to him. β€œthey wouldn’t fuck you like this, though. won’t get you dripping after they fuck your face.” his hips started moving upwards now that you were adjusted to his length, hands resting on your hips. with the feeling of the clamps, his dirty talk, and your stimulated clit, you were right on the edge. β€œsi, i’m gonna come. please let me come.” his hand moved from your hip to your clit. β€œcome for me, dove.” you shattered with a moan, glad for the soundproofed walls. your thighs trembled as you sat back down on his cock, and simon could feel you weakening.Β 
he flipped you both over, staying inside you, and started fucking into you with abandon. his hand slipped under your head to protect it from hitting the headboard as he got rougher and rougher. your tits bounced, the clamps holding steady with every thrust. your hands came around his neck, pulling him closer to you. β€œmy husband.” you groaned, never tiring of calling him that. your hands scratched his shoulders, urging him into you more and more. he changed the angle so he grinded against your pubic bone, and you could feel your second orgasm coming. β€œsi, come with me. i want you inside.” he moaned into your shoulder, keeping the pace. β€œright there, love, im right there.” he panted, needing just a bit more. β€œfill me up, si. i’ll be making breakfast for the boys and they’ll see your cum running down my thighs. i’m yours.” you both came to that image as he pumped into you, making you leak with his cum. β€œfuck.” he collasped into you, holding off his weight as to not squish you. cock still inside, he removed the clamps, licking each nipple after. β€œdid you think of me when you bought these?” he said, growling. β€œi got so horny i had to get off in the public bathroom right after. thinking of you the whole time.” you replied. β€œgonna make you wear these all the time now so your cunt is always ready for me.” he slipped out and you both sighed.Β 
he left and came back with a warm washcloth, cleaning you both up. you yawned, so tired from the night’s events, glad to have your husband home. simon turned off the lights and tucked you both in, ready to sleep with his love in his arms. β€œi’m home, dove.” he whispered, kissing your forehead and tangling his feet with yours.
β€œi’m home.”

How Do They View You?
Pick an Image
Tumblr media
Image 1
Image 1 your person views you as someone who isn’t the loudest one in the room. You’re very low key and can easily slip out of social gatherings and can be almost home by the time people realize you have been gone for too long. You stand up for what you believe in and you often speak up for those who cannot do it for themselves. You may be working in human services/social services field/teacher or volunteer doing advocacy work. There are a lot of people/ youth who look up to you and depend on you. They view you as someone who brings positivity and finds light in dark situations.
Tumblr media
Image 2
Image 2 your person views you as someone who has been through a lot of things but persevered. They recognize and admire that you could have been angry at the world for the cards you were dealt yet you are quite the opposite. You might have been stuck in a bad situation for a time being in getting the feeling of being imprisoned. There were a lot of blockages in your path but you have been fighting back; fighting hard like a bad ass! There are lots of chains that were placed around you to hold you back from progressing. They view you as someone who does not know what you want but in reality you are just being very careful about who you allow to come close to you.
Tumblr media
Image 3
Image 3 people around you have been throwing themselves at your feet. This person sees how much people are always watching you and how they are really attracted to you. This person feels as though you are on a higher level and they wonder what can they offer to you that you don’t already have. They view you as an intellectual beauty with a dash of sensuality. The full package. You embody everything they are searching for in a partner. They also see that you are not willing to settle for less.
Tumblr media
Image 4
Image 4 you are seen as sexy, fiery, intelligent, and patient. They also view you as very humble and financially stable. They are intrigued by you and how you keep things to yourself. You are a mysterious challenge. You bring out a level of interest they haven’t felt about anyone in a long time (longgg long time). Part of them wants to keep watching and admiring you from afar while the other part just wants to get to know you…the real you. You seem very guarded of your personal life. You’re not the type that brings all of their problems to work and tell everyone your business. You’re more like the professional that stays to themselves which is making this person want to peruse you even more. They wonder if you have been hurt before and if that is the reason you push people away.
Comment which reading resonates ✨

---
Joost. Joost fucking Klein. That man was always very charming and he didn't even have to try. He was always the center of attention whereas you were just somewhere back, trying to fit in. Looking for your kind of people that lay back just like you. And if a year back someone would have said to you, that you're going to be in love with this man, you wouldn't believe them. Probably laugh in their face. You and Joost? Ha, you could never... could you?
He was the god of the party. Whenever he walked into a room, it was like the atmosphere shifted. People gravitated towards him, drawn by his effortless charm and infectious energy. He had this way of making everyone feel like they were the most important person in the world, even if just for a moment. Yeah, you know, Joost.
You and him met pretty easily, not in some grand, starstruck way, but through friends. It was at one of those low-key gatherings that start with a few people and end up with the entire social circle crammed into a living room. Joost was in his element, entertaining the crowd with stories and jokes. You watched him, intrigued by how natural it all seemed to him.
As the night went on, you and him somehow ended up in the same conversation circle. It wasn't long before you were chatting like old friends that have always known each other. He asked about your interests, your thoughts on music, movies, and life in general that night. And you found yourself opening up more than you usually did, his genuine interest made it easy.
Then, you started seeing each other more frequently. Your encounters were never planned, but always felt serendipitous. You ran into each other at the shop center, at friends' houses, and even at the grocery store. Each meeting felt natural, unforced, but then it wasn't just for talking and sharing stories. Now, you and Joost were friends, but with benefits. Of course you didn't mind at all at first. But after some time you wasn't so sure anymore. At first it was just because of some release. But after some time, you started to feel some...things.
Then came the night of this unforgettable party. You didn't want to come here at all, but your friend, f/n, she promised it's going to be just for a few hours and that Joost is going to be here as well. Maybe, that's why you actually agreed to go here. She knew about you and Joost, and how you actually felt about him. But she promise to not say anything.
Joost was, as usual, the center of attention. But this time, at this party, it felt different. Every time your eyes met across the room, there was a spark, a silent understanding that something was shifting between you and him. You watched him laugh, dance, and engage with everyone, yet somehow, it felt like he was always aware of where you were and what you were doing, of who you were speaking with and when you looked at him.
It was like sixth sense.
It started to get hot here, or maybe it was just the alcohol that flowed through your blood. Either way, you needed some fresh air, so you excused yourself from your friend that was just as tipsy as you and you made your way out by the back door that went to the garden. There wasn't anyone, but it wasn't so surprising. Whole party was thrown inside because of the cooler weather.
Enjoying the muffled sounds of a party in the house behind you, you were startled when you felt someone's hand on your hip.
"Hey, hey, easy here. It's just me."
Joost.
"You scared me for life." Turning your head to look at him, you notice how his pupils were big.
"I'm sorry princess, I will try not to scare you away from me." You laughed it off. He was definitely a teaser. It was in his nature, to make people laugh, to forget everything, to enjoy their time with him.
"What are you doing here so alone, hm?" He whispered in the cold night and ran his hand that he had on your hip up and down. To warm you a bit. "It's cold out here."
"I know, but I needed some fresh air. I couldn't breathe in there." You said and pointed back at the house. Leaning your head on his shoulder you closed your eyes, but the drinks that your friend made you drink with her were a little bit stronger for your liking, so whenever you closed your eyes you felt the whole world spin, just like right now.
"Yeah, you're right." Joost put his chin on the top of your head after he kissed it, just as you relaxed in his hold. You always enjoyed his presence, but it wasn't just because of his personality, it was because he made you feel things that you believed that were never there. He was different, he made you feel different. Like no-one else before had. He lifted his hand from your hip and placed it on your arm, "You're cold." he said and raised his head for yours.
"It's nothing." You chuckled, "I will manage." you tried to assure him, but your skin was really ice cold.
"Yeah, in bed with a fever tomorrow morning. Come on, let's get inside." He took your hand in his and together you made your way to the house. He let you go in first, holding the door open for you like a true gentleman he is with a smile on his face. "Lady's first."
You returned his smile, never letting go of his hand. It wasn't strange for you to hold his hand and kiss here and there, but you weren't together, it made some people questioned your real relationship. But what they didn't know was that you and Joost have been sleeping with each other from time to time. And you had to admit, you were totally scared of your future with him.
He doesn't feel love. He never felt that way. You knew it because before you and him started to sleep together, you and him made a promise to not catch feelings, it's just gonna be about a sex. Nothing more, nothing less. And you knew you had crossed that line, but you couldn't tell him anything. That would ruin everything, it would have ruined you. So you swallowed your feelings and told yourself to not, ever, let or somehow show your feelings for him. Even though it hurts you.
"I need to find f/n. She's somewhere here and I need to stop her from doing something stupid." You told Joost and he actually laughed at that because he knew her and what she was capable of.
"That sounds like a good idea. I will be in the living room if you want to look for me after you find her." Joost winked at you with smug on his pretty face and left you here standing with red cheeks. No matter how many times he had flirted with you, you always gave in and let his charm affect you.
---
It took you some time to find f/n, but you also have found some other friends that were looking after her as well. They were leaving and told you they are taking f/n home too.
"Noo, Y/n I don't wanna go home." f/n pouted and hugged you before others basically dragged her off of you.
"You have to. I will text you in the morning, okay?"
She protested, but eventually gave in. Leaving the party and looking forward to your text when you will be leaving.
You went to the kitchen and poured yourself a drink, not so strong this time and then you started looking for another person, Joost. But he already told you where he's going to be. Making your way through bodies to the living room, you greeted some faces you recognised. Sending friendly smiles and little waves. But just as you stepped to the living room, you couldn't help the shock that went thru you.
He was sitting here with some girl. No, the girl was sitting on his lap and what was even worse, they were making out. How his left hand was running through her hair and how his other hand was on her waist, keeping her closer, just like he did before with you. All you could do was watch the scene before you.
"Y/n?" Joost's voice was barely making any sense, but he knew that was you who he was kissing right now. He was so sure of it.
"Actually I'm Mila."
"You're not Y/n? My Y/n?"
"I can be her, if that's what you want."
"You're not her?" Joost asked the girl that he assumed was you, but she pulled him back to kiss her. He wasn't complaining, but he was hoping that was you who he was kissing right now and not some random chick.
When they pulled away to breathe, Joost looked around the room and saw you standing in the back with a shocked face and how it, in a matter of seconds, turned into a pained expression. That was the real you. You weren't sitting in his lap right now.
What were you thinking?
It hurt. It all hurt so much. You really thought he felt something for you, just like you did for him. But you were wrong, so, so wrong. "Y/n?" His words were slurred. "C'mon it was just for fun, you know that right?"
Drunk words are sober thoughts.
You heard him say somewhere towards you in his now drunk state, you couldn't even properly look at him, all you could do in that moment was to turn around and leave. On your way out of the house, you passed by people that gave you this kind of sympathy look. Did they think you and him were together too? You weren't, and he made that crystal clear.
"Y/N!" He was calling for you to stop, but you didn't. "Y/n! Can you stop for a second?!"
"What!? What is it Joost!?" You turned to him, stopping in your tracks. Barely holding tears in your eyes.
"What's wrong with you?!" Joost almost shouted, but held himself back because of other people near you two.
"What is wrong with me?" You had to ask. "With me?"
"Yeah, you're acting like I fucked that girl right infront of you, and even if I did, we're not together so it doesn't matter."
"I can't believe this." You avoided eye contact with him. "I'm such an idiot." Whispering, you looked down, letting the tears freely fall.
"What? So it's mine fault?"
"No it's mine."
An awkward silence was between you two.
Joost sighed looking down and put his hands on his hips. "Look Y/n, let's just get inside, get some drinks and forget about it. It wasn't that big of a deal anyway." He insisted and took a few steps towards you, trying to reach for you, but you backed down. You turned back around and said.
"Yeah, you're right, it's not that big of a deal anyway."
With that, you made your way home.
---
That was two days ago, and from that time you felt like shit. You barely slept and eating food was bad too. F/n was worried about you, she insisted on talking to him, herself or you. But everytime she threatened, you told her to stop. That you're going to deal with it by yourself. She stopped after that.
Two fucking days.
Your phone was blowing with missed calls and hundreds of unread texts from Joost, but you didn't want to talk to him. Not right now. His words still hurt you. "It's not that big of deal anyway." Yes, you promised something to each other, but his words hunt you.
As you laid in your bed and re-thinking every detail of that night, soft knocking brought you out of your head. At first you didn't want to get up and answer, if it's important then they will try it later.
But the soft knocking was getting louder and more annoying. You slowly got up and made your way to the door. Ready to scream on anyone that was behind them.
"Y/n?"
That made you stop in your tracks. Joost? What was he doing here? You didn't want him near you at all. That's why you distanced everyone.
"Y/n, open the door."
His knocking stopped and you saw his shadow under the door and how he was stepping from one side to another.
"Open the door. Please."
Joost begged. And that's something you never heard from him before. Part of you wanted to let him in and hug him, but the other not at all.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I said that night." You heard him say behind the door. Him still waiting for you to open to him.
"You didn't say anything wrong. Only truth." You muttered on the other side.
"Yeah, but..." He sighed and leaned his head on the door. Closing his eyes for a moment before speaking again. "You didn't deserve that."
That made you cry. He was right, you didn't deserve it like that.
"I hear you cry." He lifted his head from the door and tried to open them again. "Please don't cry."
"You made me look so fucking stupid." You cried more. "I thought...I thought that we-"
"I'm sorry."
You took the handle and slowly opened the door, letting that awkward silence spread all around you and him.
"What do you want from me?" You finally asked as your eyes were red and swollen from crying for the past two days. Just like his.
"I don't know." He admitted. "Probably everything..."
"That's a lot."
"I know I want you in my life." He began. "I'm scared that if I told you how I feel, you're going to leave me like everyone else."
"And why would I do that?"
He didn't say anything to that. Like you had caught him off of guard. But that didn't mean that you felt any better. You wouldn't admit it, but you didn't feel better.
"My heart always seems to be disappointed." You admitted quietly, letting it sink in. "Maybe it was made just to be shattered into thousands pieces."
"No, no, don't say that. It's not the truth, you don't believe that." His eyes were pleasing yours to say otherwise, but he didn't find what he was looking for in them. "Do you?"
"What if I believe in that?"
Now you were more scared of his silence than your damaged heart. Is this it? Is this the very end of yours and Joosts path?
"Are you going to say something?"
"I'm sorry." He stepped closer and opened the door fully. "I'm sorry that I hurt you, I don't know what I was doing...I was drunk a-and I know that it doesn't change anything, but I'm still so sorry and I need you to know it." He kneeled before you and hugged your waist. Trapping you in his hold.
"Joost." You didn't know what to say. Or what to do at that moment.
"I love you." He breathed out. "I don't want you to disappear from my world, because you are my world."
You stopped breathing for a moment. He loves you? Joost loves you? From all of the people he knows and ever met, he loves you?
"I need you to know how I feel." Joost admitted and held your legs tighter. "I should have said that sooner."

Tumblr media
Love.
Love is an intricate subject in its own right. Scientists elucidate it through the interplay of three cerebral chemicals: noradrenaline, dopamine, and phenylethylamine.
That's how Jungkook perceived love. He didn't subscribe to the notion of butterflies in the stomach or the fluttering heartbeat as justifications for love. To him, love was a scientific phenomenon, a complex emotion akin to sadness or jealousy-if he could evade such feelings, he would spare no effort.
But why did his stomach churn as if his organs were performing tiny somersaults whenever he gazed at you a tad too long? You were engrossed in the menu, pondering whether to get a burger or a slice of pizza.
Seated beautifully in your loose red Formula One shirt, Jungkook couldn't fathom how you managed to make that oversized shirt look so good.
Jungkook's eyes dropped to the ribbon in your hair, wondering why someone who was a full-on adult looked pretty, adorable even-with a red ribbon tied into a beautiful bow contrasting your skin and eyes. Your long eyelashes entranced him. He felt his stomach do something, a turn? Maybe his stomach was upset-he thought to himself.
Jungkook couldn't believe he found himself willingly sharing a table with you at the same dinner two years ago, he almost killed you at. He had moved to Emberhill U two years ago, ever since he moved out from his mom's house. Jungkook's life had gone to hell, which is exactly what his mind would tell him ever since his mom got a boyfriend. To make matters worse, he now had step-siblings.
He hated every bit of it. He wasn't jealous whatsoever.
It was the fact that his mom seemed to forget he even existed in the first place. Jungkook was hurt. He tried not to dwell or cry about it since he was a big boy-that's what he told himself now, pushing twenty-two, but still, part of his already broken heart shattered more.
How could your mom forget about her child? How could she not care about her only flesh and blood? He never told her that ever. Talking about his feelings with his mom was like talking to a brick wall that nothing could pass through. Plus, Jungkook wasn't good at communicating or talking about his feelings anyway. He found it embarrassing to lay yourself out there for someone to be able to discard you at any given moment.
Jungkook's dad wasn't any different as wellbeing too busy with work to even call him to ask his son if he was okay or how school is going. But the calls or text messages never came. Jungkook was used to it. It was his everyday. It was more shocking when he did call, but he wouldn't know what that would feel like since he never called ever since the divorce. Jungkook knew the divorce wasn't his fault whatsoever. His therapistβ€”that his high school counselor made him go toβ€”basically talked his ear off about how anything that happened wasn't his fault, but still, it felt like it was.
Ever since everything went down, his parents seemed to forget they had a child, who still needed them.
One advantage of his situation was the freedom to do as he pleased without his parents' interference. However, the downside was their lack of concern for his activities or just him in general. Jungkook was certain: if his parents didn't love him, who else in the world would? So, he didn't believe in love. When the two people meant to demonstrate unconditional love failed to do so, he doubted anyone else would. He would like to say that it didn't affect him and it's been years since everything, but deep down it still did.
Jungkook experiences a pang of guilt every time he looks at you. Perhaps it's the way he behaved when he first met you, the influence of the romantic comedy in your hands causing him to lash out at you.
Something about your ribbons makes him feel that you’re too innocent and naive for this worldβ€”part of him wants to shield you from its harsh realities, while another part wants to disillusion you about the cruelty of the world and the disparity between love in fairy tales and reality.
"Are you done daydreaming?" You say, interrupting his thoughts. Jungkook shakes his head, attempting to banish his thoughts before raising an eyebrow at your curious doe eyes. "I wasn't daydreaming," he states proudly, prompting a scoff from you, a grin tugging at Jungkook's lips.
"It was either daydreaming or checking me out since you were staring at me for a hot minute, but I decided otherwise since you have a girlfriend," you quip nonchalantly before calling the waiter to take your order.
"First of all, I don’t have a girlfriend, and second of all, what if I was checking you out?" Jungkook challenges. He didn’t know why he enjoyed getting on your nervesβ€”any other person he would probably flip off and never give them the time of day, but instead, here he was with you doing the complete opposite.
"What happened to the girl from the dinner?" You question, your eyes finally meeting his brown ones. A glint of something passes over his eyes before disappearing as quickly as you saw itβ€”so you thought maybe you had imagined it.
"Who?" Jungkook says, tilting his head to the side as he leans forward, his elbows propped on the table. "the one you mentioned to me two years ago? The one you discussed intimately," you mimic his voice. Jungkook's smile widens, amused by your jest.
"If you want to know so badly, we broke upβ€”well, she broke up with me," Jungkook clicks his tongue, observing your expressions closely. He notices the creases of your forehead whenever you are thinking or the way you bite your lower lip to contain a smile that’s threatening to come out, each time Jungkook says something dumb.
"Oh, let me guess, she wanted love letters and sweet words whispered into her ear," you mock him, knowing he said that he didn’t need to do any of that to keep a girl. "You’re annoying, Ribbons," Jungkook shakes his head with a low soft chuckle.
You watch him pick up the menu and start scanning the items as you observe him. You notice how his jaw clenches momentarily before relaxing, his tongue poking on the inside of his cheek, making you wonder if you angered himβ€”and if you did, maybe you should do it more often since he looked hotβ€”
Record scratch.
Your mind was playing games with you the more you watched the raven-haired boy. The more you realized he was the epitome of the boy you imagined whenever you were reading a book, the dimples on his cheeks, the scar right above his cheekbone, and the mole underneath his bottom lip had you wanting to ask him for his whole life story.
He also looks like those cute love song playlists that had all your favorite songs in them, but you knew from the way he acts around you, it was definitely a hard no and maybe you were delusional after all. So you try hard to shove those ideas into the back of your brain as far as you could.
"I knew that you couldn’t keep a girlfriend," you shrug, prompting a gasp from him as he jokingly places a hand on his heart, as if you had just dealt him a mortal blow.
"Wow, YN doesn’t think I’m boyfriend material?" Jungkook gasps dramatically, shaking his head.
"You’re literally everything that's not boyfriend material," you throw your head back with a laugh, observing his widened eyes with amusement evident on his face. "Ouch," Jungkook scoffs dramatically.
"What makes you say I’m not boyfriend material?" he says, scanning the room for a waiter but finding none, before redirecting his attention to you.
"You don’t believe in love, that's one way to start," you point out, eliciting a hum of agreement from him. "What's that got to do with being a good boyfriend? I assure you that a good boyfriend isn’t necessarily head over heels in love," Jungkook says, as if imparting a valuable lesson, while your facial expression betrays you.
"The fuck? You literally hate everything related to love. Being a good boyfriend means doing cliche shit you hate doing so much, how could you possibly be boyfriend material?" you assert proudly, prompting an eye-roll from him.
"All that stuff is just superficial shit that everyone collectively agreed on. It’s just embarrassing how people put themselves go through all that just to make someone likβ€”β€œ
"Love," you interject, earning yourself a glare from across the table.
"Like I was saying, I stand by the fact all those stupid romantic gestures are pointless. Society basically romanticized love and set up unrealistic expectationsβ€” everything just leads to heartbreak and disappointment," Jungkook continues, you watch how the hard expression on his face wavers to something more… sad, like he was talking from experience.
"Have you ever experienced love?" you inquire, not sure why since you guys weren’t even friends in the first placeβ€”the only reason you found yourself sitting with him willingly was because of psychology class.
"What?" Jungkook is caught off guard by the sudden question.
"Have you ever been in love?" you reiterate, observing his expression harden once more. "No, never, and I don’t plan to," Jungkook shrugs, going back to his usual cocky self in a blink of an eye, prompting yet another eye-roll from you, marking thirty-eighth.
You didn’t get the chance to reply since a waiter came to your table, apologizing for taking so long to get to us before taking our orders.
You and Jungkook decided on sharing a pizza, and you obviously ordered a coke, which got Jungkook joking about how he isn’t trying to make you choke again, which had the waiter shifting uncomfortably beside you both while Jungkook had an eating-shit grin on his face.
β€œThat’s not what he meant!” You chuckled nervously, your face reddening, matching your shirt from how embarrassed you are.
β€œNo, it’s okay, you don't have to explain,” the waiter said before excusing himself.
The moment the waiter was out of your line of vision, you turned your head to the boy who’s sucking in his lips, trying not to laugh.
β€œWhat the fuck was that?” You glared, your eyebrows scrunching. β€œWhat, you both just have a dirty mind,” Jungkook shrugged, the grin on his face making you shift in your chair.
Jungkook's aura was unlike anything you’d ever stumbled upon, and you hated it. It made you want to know more about him than you should, the way he carried himself and talked had you questioning why? He wasn’t so different from other boys you had met, besides the fact that he spoke his mind as if no one was around, not caring if he hurt your feelings or offended you. It was refreshing in some way, but it still made you want to pull your hair out.
β€œAlright… let’s change topics, Mr. Anti-Romantic,” you say, watching his smile widen.
β€œWhat?” You stared at him, trying to think what could possibly make him smile that much. You were sure your face would hurt if you possibly smiled that much.
β€œNothing, I just find it extremely hot when you call me that, it turns me on,” Jungkook said, leaning forward.
Okay, that’s not exactly what you were imagining him saying. Your eyes widened momentarily, feeling your heartbeat rise. The smile not leaving his face had you feeling hot, as if the room temperature suddenly increased.
β€œUh… so, project,” you blinked rapidly.
β€œYeah, project,” Jungkook agreed, smile still on his face as he saw your cheeks flush with a reddish color.
β€œSo, any ideas about what our project can be about?” You said, grabbing the hair tie around your wrist and using it to make a ponytail, taking the ribbons out before tying your hair.
Two small strands fell from your face, tempting Jungkook's fingers to reach out and tuck them behind your ear. He wanted to slap himself back to reality since he never in his life thought those thoughts, not even with Haneul, whom he dated for five months, setting a record. He still remembered the reason she gave him for breaking up. It was laughable.
β€œJungkook, you don’t even look at me with love, and I know you said when we first met that it was only attraction, but I thought you would change over time the more we hung out,” Haneul whimpered, tears gathering around her eyes as Jungkook just stared at her, not knowing what to say. Because yes, he did tell her it was all attraction, and it’s still only attraction to this day for him.
β€œYou don’t hold my hand or give me kisses, you don’t even give me flowers,” Haneul cried, her voice cracking with each word she said.
β€œI told you, I don’t do that stuff,” Jungkook said. He felt bad for her since he knew she deserved better, but he didn’t feel bad about not doing those things for her since he told her he wouldn’t and never would do them. And she agreed, so why was she crying about it now when she agreed to it five months ago?
β€œI know you did, but I thought you just… fuck, you haven’t even introduced me to your family,” a crack is heard from Jungkook's heart, but not for the girl in front of him crying her heart out, but for himself, because yeah, he had no family he could take a girl home to, since he had no home at all. He had a house, but it was as empty as he was.
β€œHaneul, I told youβ€”β€œ
β€œYeah, that you will never do that! I get it, okay? I get it, but fuck, how can you not care? Do you not feel anything when it comes to me?” The girl wept more, which had Jungkook sighing.
β€œI like you, Haneul,” Jungkook replied. β€œI love you, Jungkook, can’t you tell…” she whispered, a choked sob leaving her lips as she looked up at the man who’s just standing in front of her like nothing.
β€œI’m sorry,” that's all Jungkook said… because what else could he say? It was either that or that he didn’t love her, but to not take it personally since he didn’t love anything?
So instead, he said the only thing he could muster without his voice cracking.
β€œLove,” Jungkook finally says, his statement catching you off guard, widening your eyes in surprise.
β€œLove? I thought you hated love,” you raise an eyebrow, perplexed by his sudden declaration.
β€œI do, but love is psychological. We can discuss how we, as humans, have the ability to choose whether we fall in love or not,” Jungkook articulates.
β€œThat’s not how love works, Jungkook,” you retort, to which he responds with a disapproving nod. β€œIt does, though,” Jungkook rebuts.
β€œIt doesn’t. Love is not something we can choose and pick, it just happens,” you try to explain.
β€œYou believe love just happens, but I disagree, respectfully,” Jungkook adds, causing you to tilt your head curiously, intrigued by his perspective. β€œI’ve held on for too long without being in love since I said I wouldn’t fall in love,” he concludes.
β€œThat’s because you haven’t met anyone you actually want to try with… maybe you just haven’t met your soulmate,” you suggest, annoyance evident on Jungkook’s face the moment you mention the concept of soulmates.
β€œSoulmates don’t exist, ribbons,” Jungkook snickers.
β€œI beg to differ,” you cross your arms, adamant in your belief. β€œI don’t know what fantasy lovey-dovey world you live in, but soulmates are just made up,” Jungkook shrugs casually.
β€œMaybe you are right about the fact that you get to choose who you fall in love with since I know for a fact I would never fall in love with you,” you spitefully state.
Jungkook nods, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth that catches him off guard. Perhaps it was the fact that someone had just openly admitted they wouldn’t want to love himβ€”reminding him of the kid he once was, desperately begging his parents to love him. But wasn’t this what he was trying to prove in the first place, that love was a choice? Then why did it hurt to hear you say those words out loud?
β€œAtta girl, finally got it huh,” Jungkook smirks, ignoring the pang of hurt in his chest. β€œAlright then, if we did do that for our project, let’s say we argued that love is a choice and it doesn’t happen. How do we prove that?” you question.
Silence fills the table as you both brainstorm ideas, trying to back up this argument.
β€œI got it,” you say, as if a light bulb just appeared on top of your head. Jungkook nods, encouraging you to continue.
β€œWhat if we spend a month with you doing absolutely everything to make me fall in love with you? And I mean do all that clichΓ©, romantic shit I love that you hate so much. Since I know for a fact that I choose not to fall in love with you, we can discuss how, even if a person does everything right, you still get to choose who you love,” you explain carefully, ensuring he understands your proposal.
β€œIt’s a good idea for the project; we could use ourselves to illustrate how we pick and choose who we love, like you said,” you try to convince him, giving him the benefit of the doubt after he convinced you of his beliefs. You knew you would never fall for him, even if he did everything you ever read in books and saw in movies.
β€œWe can call it the Love Wager,” you finish, scanning his face as he contemplates the idea.
Jungkook’s mind races, unsure if he likes the idea or absolutely hates it. On one hand, it could earn him a good grade, given the strong rationale behind it, using yourselves as an experiment to support your argument. But on the other hand, the thought of spending a month doing everything he had vocally despised for the past five years gave him the heebie-jeebies.
β€œAlright then, the Love Wager operation starts,” Jungkook agrees instead, while you clap happily. β€œOh my god yay, this might give me an A plus,” you celebrate, giggling as Jungkook raises an eyebrow.
β€œIt’s a long story; I just hate psychology,” you say, to which he nods in response.
β€œWell, we have a month together, so start explaining why you hate it so much,” Jungkook says nonchalantly, and before you could reply, the waiter hurriedly returns to your table, apologizing for the wait, mentioning the kitchen’s struggle with the influx of orders. But you keep your eyes on the boy in front of you, who looks at the waiter, reassuring him it’s okay.
The smell of fresh, hot pizza fills your nostrils as you finally snap out of your trance, looking down at the pizza the waiter is sliding onto the table, cautioning you both that it is extremely hot. The waiter continues to place all the food you ordered on the table before leaving with a bow.
β€œI’m starving, oh my god,” Jungkook moans as he picks up a slice of pizza and takes a bite, ignoring the steam.
β€œHow is that not burning your tongue, oh my…” you begin to say, but you’re interrupted as you take a bite of your own slice, immediately regretting it as you burn your tongue. β€œAh, ah, ha,” you drop the pizza onto your plate, sticking your tongue out and fanning your mouth with your hand. A small laugh escapes from Jungkook as you shoot him a snarky glare.
β€œHe literally just told you it was hot, ribbons,” Jungkook says, grabbing a napkin from the container and reaching over to wipe some sauce off your lips and face. The fanning from your hand halts as you stare at his focused face, feeling yourself heat up again, but this time it’s not your mouthβ€”it’s your cheeks.
β€œWhy did you just do that?” you ask before you can stop yourself, as he sits back down properly. β€œI’m starting my boyfriend material journey, you know, since the project?” Jungkook says casually, taking another bite of pizza, watching you in surprise as you shockingly observe him not being fazed by the burning food in his mouth, chewing happily.
β€œOh… we’re starting right now?” you gesture to the table between you both, indicating β€˜right now’. β€œYeah, we only have one month, let’s make it worth it,” he says, diving back into his food.
God, this month was definitely going to be a roller coaster.

Reunion
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Pairing: Dick Grayson x (f)reader
Tags: NSFW, future angst, toxic, you cant fix him, smut, grad school, halloween, Dick is the reader's friend's ex's best friend, reunion, oral, penetration, praise, heartbreak, heartbroken reader,
The last time you'd been at a party like this was in freshman year. Now, in your twenties and in grad school, you were surprised to be at a Halloween house party - on Greek row, no less.
What was the harm? You were dressed in a Men in Black costume with your best friend, Jo, which made you look like a duo rather than a lone target for the inevitable creeps. Plus, you knew a bunch of people here, so it could actually turn out to be a fun night. In your black leather skirt and white button-up, you had chosen an outfit that was both fun and flattering. The fitted blazer - which you borrowed from your sister - accentuated your figure well. Your outfit had been recognized on the walk over by people calling out, "Men in Black!" From across the street.
As you stood with Jo on the front porch while people amoked around you and music blasted from inside, you were waiting for the host to reply with the text containing the entry code. Suddenly, Jo called out, "Dicky!" before being pulled into a hug by someone. You looked up just as "Dicky" turned toward you, and in a heartbeat, you found yourself pulled into an unexpectedly warm embrace. Lean muscles pressed against you through the thin fabric of a black button-up, undone just enough to reveal a glimpse of toned chest.
A low, teasing voice laughed in your ear, "Bet you don’t remember me."
Your voice was small as you murmured, "No…" but then you caught sight of his face - and your heart skipped. Athletic build, sharp jawline, flawless blue eyes, and a smile that could probably melt glass. Oh, you remembered him.
"It’s Robert’s friend," Jo grinned at you, helpfully filling in the details.
Right. Robert’s friend, Dicky. Dick Grayson. The eldest Wayne brother. That Dick Grayson.
In your periphery, you caught eyes of party goers following your exchange. A mix of intrigue and excitement shown in them. A few people nudged each other, whispering, but Dick didn't seem to notice. Holding himself with indifference, as if used to it.
γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹
Three years ago.
You’d just finished celebrating a friend’s 20th birthday, and as the night wound down, the pub your friend group frequented started emptying as people were heading out for the night. Your group gathered their coats and stumbled into the crisp night air, chattering and laughing.
Your friend, along with her boyfriend, Robert, stopped you at the door. "Hey, girl, you got a ride?"
"I’ll catch the bus," you reassured them, gesturing at the stop down the block.
"Don’t take the bus," a new voice interjected. "I’ll drive you."
"Oh-" You turned toward Dick as he flashed his keys. The sound of his Subaru unlocking accompanied his offer. "You don’t have to."
"C’mon, you don’t live that far from me anyway."
And that’s how you ended up in a car with him.
You’d asked, just to be sure, "You didn’t drink, right?" caught for a moment by the way his eyes turned to catch your gaze. You tried to keep your cool, but your blush gave you away. You blamed the booze.
A glint sparked in his eye. "What, you don’t trust me?"
Your fingers fidgeted nervously. "If you drank… then, no."
He smirked, showing perfect teeth. "I can be dangerous when I’m sober, too." With a mischievous look, he sped up just slightly, the engine roaring. "Do you trust me?"
Your breath hitched, but this time, not with fear - with excitement. You tried to tell yourself, 'Pull your dumbass head out', especially since he had a girlfriend. Or... a friend he was making out with. Who didnt leave with him...
Still, your body didn't listen, as the thrill of his speeding up made you grip the seat belt tighter.
"Maybe you shouldn’t…" you whispered.
"I think I should." His grin widened, and the car sped up even more.
You couldn’t help laughing to yourself. There was something irresistibly reckless about him, and he obviously knew it worked in his favor. Something that made your pulse race. Your backward, illogical pulse.
You hadn’t noticed your thighs pressing together. But he had.
γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹
You blinked, bringing yourself back to the party, back to the present. You smiled up at him. "Yeah, I remember you."
β€œGood." He grinned, slipping his hands casually into his pockets. Those blue eyes, with their signature teasing glint, roamed over you as if he were taking mental notes and enjoying every reaction you made. "Men in black?"
"Y/n's idea!" Jo grinned at him. "Costume took us all of five minutes to put together... something like that, right?" He turned to you for confirmation.
"Yeah," you said absentmindedly.
"And what are you?" Jo turned back to Dick. A dark angel?"
You took in his outfit. Black button up, undone at the top, black feather wings on the back, and a black halo held by a headband around his head.
"Lucifer," Dick corrected.
"Ah, nice!" Jo gave a slow clap.
Dick smiled a cocky smile, and then his gaze shifted to yours. "It's good to see you."
There was a new air about him. He was taller, his frame still lean but solid with muscle. He looked every bit the man you once knew, now more rugged. Hed changed, but so had you. Back then, you’d been easily impressed by boys. Now, after a serious relationship resulting in awful hearbreak followed by a handful of flings, you knew the game better. Experience had a way of tempering those old thrills.
"Nice to see you too," you said, trying to play it cool, though a flicker of heat crossed your cheeks.
"Waiting on your friend?" Dick asked, noticing you glancing at your phone.
"Yeah," you muttered, a little annoyed. "My friend Penelope’s one of the hosts, but she’s not answering my texts."
He didn’t hesitate, stepping away and speaking briefly to the guy at the door. A moment later, he came back. "Give him the cover, and you’re in."
"Thanks." You smiled up at him, grateful.
"Anytime."
Before you could say more, a voice cooed from the side, "Oh, Lucifer…" A girl in a Hogwarts costume sauntered over, pressing herself against Dick's side with her hands running up his torso. "Come corrupt me."
You offered a polite, close lipped smile as she gave you a once-over. Yep. This was the Dick you remembered. Never alone. Always surrounded by admirers.
"See you inside?" he asked, eyes already on her, a grin on his face.
"Yeah," you nodded, hurrying past them.
Inside, the party was in full swing. The house was packed, music thumping, and you wove through the crowd, recognizing friends and catching up with the occasional shouting match over the blaring speakers. Finally, a hand grabbed your shoulder, and you turned to see Penelope in an American Psycho costume with the plastic raincoat covered in blood. "Girl, you made it!"
"Yep!" You hugged her, laughing. "Cool party! How’s it going?"
"Chaos," she rolled her eyes. "People have been sneaking in without RSVPs, and we’ve been chasing them out all night-"
Suddenly a ring came from her phone and she brought it up to read the screen, then offered you an apologetic look. "Someone just broke the fridge door, I gotta go-"
You waved off her apology, pulling her toward the dance floor. "Let someone else deal with it. Lets enjoy your party, bitch!"
She gave up fighting and pocketed her phone, then began to dance to the music. The two of you fell into the rhythm of the crowd, and as the drinks started kicking in, you let yourself melt into the music, eyes closed, the bass pulsing through you.
A low voice murmured behind you. "Didn’t know you could move like that."
You turned to see Dick, grinning as he joined you on the floor. "I used to do ballet."
His brows rose. "How did I never know that?"
You shrugged. "Guess it never came up."
His hands settled lightly on your waist, pulling you toward him. "Well, I have to say," a mischievous smirk played on his lips as he leaned in close, his voice soft and warm in your ear. "It did wonders. You’re damn sexy when you dance."
You felt your cheeks heat. "Where's your girlfriend?"
Dick laughed to himself. There was a thrill in making you flustered, a satisfaction that came from knowing he could draw out that blush. He shook his head, amused. "I don’t have a girlfriend."
"What about Miss Gryffindor?" You raised an eyebrow.
He laughed, nodding in realization you meant the girl from earlier. "Ah, yeah. I just met her here. Don’t even know her name."
"Oh?" You felt the tension ease only slightly, though a quick look around made you oddly self-conscious. The music, the people packed around, the way he was looking at you-all of it made it feel like you two were too close.
Dick caught sight of a phone camera aiming his way, likely hoping for a candid. He turned slightly, hiding your face without you noticing and giving them a polite but distant nod. He was used to this game.
There were too many people here, he dicided. He leaned close to your ear. "Wanna go somewhere a little quieter?"
Your brow quirked, your rational side already on alert. Of course. Dick Grayson might look like a dream, but he was still a guy. "And do what?"
He smiled, something mischievous glinting in his eyes. "And have some fun." He grinned, undeterred by your unimpressed expression.
Part of you longed to lean into the proposition. But another part screamed at to be cautious, to remember that opening your heart again could lead to more pain. You had decided a while ago that, at least for now, you weren't ready to commit your time and energy into a relationship. "Look, I appreciate the offer. But I'm not really looking to get tied up in something -"
"I'm not offering to get you tied up in something." He smirked. "I'm offering we fuck. Just one night. Between two grown ups who know what they want."
You blinked, and suddenly, the proposal became appealing. One night? No strings attached and, more importantly, no heartbreak? And as far as guys at this party went, you could do a lot worse than Dick Grayson.
"No strings attached?" You looked up at him
"You have my word." He make a show of putting his hand on his heart.
Fuck it, You thought. Let him show you what everyone was gushing about. Timidly, you nodded up at him. "I'll just tell my friends know where I'm going."
"Let them wonder." He waves off, careless. Truth be told, you realize you don't really know how to deal with your friends' reactions to you leaving the party with a him. Instead, you pull your phone out and send your group chat a quick text.
Ditching. Going home with someone )) see y'all tomorrow.

"You still drive the same Subaru?" You said, making yourself comfortable on his leather seat. He even had the same seashell decoration on his rearview mirror. Your hand rose to touch it.
"You remember Morticia?" Dick asked from behind the wheel, turning the engine on.
You couldn't help the snort that ripped out of your mouth. "Right, Morticia. I forgot."
"Yeah, how could I trade off my baby? She's seen me through thick and thin." His fingers tapped at the wheel as he pulled up out of the party.
You nodded, rolling your eyes at how predictable men were. Boys and their toys, or however the saying went. "So, what are you up to? School? Work?"
"Police academy." He flashed you a signature charming smile.
You blinked, and your brows rose in surprise. "Oh wow, just like you wanted."
"I had a plan." His gaze was on the road ahead. His voice took on a serious tone.
"Thats great, Di-" you began to say.
"What about you? How's law school going?"
It was your turn to face the road. "It's... okay."
He hummed. "Doesn't sound like it,"
You huffed. "I dint know. I guess I idealized it too much. Turns out studying the law has a lot to do with getting away with crime rather than preventing it."
He didn't respond at first and you turned to see him grasp at the wheel, knuckles white. "Yeah... Tell me about it."
You swallowed, wondering what his reaction was about. "Is it like that at the academy, too?"
"There's corruption everywhere in this city." He said with a tone of disappointment. "And anyone can be bought."
You were surprised at this new side of him which you've never seen before.
You cleared your throat, then, in an attempt to lift the mood, said. "Well, here's to hoping idealistic dreamers manage to stay on the good guy's side. Hmm?"
He grinned at tyat, blue eyes still studying the road. "I like the sound of that."

Dick still lived in the same apartment building you once visited two years ago. He pulled into the familiar parking lot and shifted into the park. As you walked into the unit of his medium-sized livingroom, taking in the humble decor, comfortable furniture, matte colored wallpaper. What stood out the most was the sheer mess of books tossed and scattered around the place. You remembered Dick to be pretty messy. You didn't remember him being so studious.
You walked over to his coffee table and picked up an open book, flipping it to read the cover.
Forensic Pathology Throughout the 21st Century by-
You nearly dropped the book when you felt his lips on the back of your neck. Dick's frame was so much bigger compared to yours, his arms easily framed you from the back as you felt his body heat on your back. You sighed softly as his lips trailed down your neck, his hand coming up to brush your hair aside.
"Wanna know something?" He whispered in your ear, the warmth of his cooler scented breath tickling your sensitive skin.
"Yeah," your voice was just above a whisper.
"I had a bit of a crush on you when we first met." His voice lowered with the confession.
You smiled a melancholy smile to yourself. You had trouble believing that. In your experience, guys always said what they knew would get them into bed. "Really?"
He turned you to face him. His eyes studying you with amusement. "You don't believe me."
You grimaced at being caught. "You realize that I'm already at your place, right? You don't need to say anything to get in my pants."
He made a show of looking down at your outfit. "You're not wearing pant-"
"Dick," You smacked him lightly on the shoulder.
He caught your wrist and lowered his face to meet your eye to eye. "We were at Richmond's pub. You, me, Robert, Laura, and I think... yeah, a couple more people. Your friend came over to visit you from another state, and you invited her to join."
Your eyes switched between his as he spoke, remembering exactly that night you talked about.
"And we all had a bit to drink. And everyone was talking so fucking much. And laughing. And shouting. There wasn't a moments peace that night. Except," he said, cupping your chin. "Except for your corner of the table."
You raised a brow, prompting him to continue.
"You just sat there." He went on. "Quietly, and observed. But every time someone said something , you gazed at them as if it was the most interesting thing on earth. There was wonder in your eyes that I just..."
"You just...?"
He shrugged, then lowered his lips and met yours in a heated kiss. You sighed into the kiss, and he deepened it, his tongue swiping past yours. You stood this close for a long time. When you pulled apart, Dick looked like he physically yearned for more. "I just wanted to kiss you so. Damned. Bad."
Your breath sped up by that time, catching up on the breath you'd lost to the kiss, your mouth dropped slightly in astonishment. "You still remember that?"
He nodded, pulling you back into the kiss. As you leaned into him, he unbuttoned your blazer, followed by your blouse, then loosened your tie, trailing kisses down your collar and breasts until he reached the hem of your skirt, asking. "Take a step back for me,"
"Okay," you nodded, obeying until your back hit the wall of his living room.
The scenario was so random. You never thought you'd end up liek this tonight. Backed up against the wall of Dick Grayson's apartment, clothes disheveled, strands of hair falling on your face as the eldest son of gothams, the wealthiest dynasty kneeling at your feet. You'd be amazed, but in truth, you were still processing what he told you earlier. He remembered a very specific moment. That even you didn't think of as significant. And yet... it had meant something to him. You suddenly felt your heart warm.
You risked a glance down, seeing him lift up your skirt, pulling down your panties.
His blue eyes focused on yours as his tongue slipped past his lips, and he leaned closer, swiping it through your folds. Unable to handle the intensity of the view, you bit your lip, wanting to shift your gaze away, but... you couldn't. It was like his gaze physically locked yours in. His lips wrapped around your core, tongue quickly finding your clit with enthusiastic licks.
"Oh," your hand shot to cover your mouth as your head rolled back against the wall. Shaking fingers combed the black locks of his hair as you moaned his name, begging for more.
His hands wrapped around the back of your thighs, and he pulled them further apart, opening you up for better access. His tongue dipped into you, licking that sensitive nerve inside, making your back arch against the wall.
"Please," you keened as your core began to spread a warm, exciting sensation, making your body shake against him. "Please, please, please,"
Your knees buckled, nearly giving out. He stood up, catching you around your waist, pressing your foreheads together. "Hey," he gasped, grinning at you.
"H-hi" you panted against him.
"Not quitting on me, are you?" He winked at you.
You laughed. "No."
"Brilliant," he smiled, pulling you into a kiss that was eagerly returned.
You don't remember exactly how, but you were picked up one moment and then lowered onto his bed the next. This was a part of his room you were seeing for the first time, but you barely gave a fuck to look around as you were too busy getting up off the bed, surprising a stripping Dick.
He eyed you questioningly until you brought your hands up to where he was in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt and replacing his. Carefully you discarded his shirt, kissing your way down his impressively chiseled chest and torso. You were surprised to see a mapping of scars and marks along his skin, but refrained from asking. The less you two knew about each other, the better. You kissed your way down, reveling in the sounds he released as you did, and the way his hand came up to cradle your head.
At last, you reached the top of his jeans, sitting comfortably on his narrow waist. You undid his belt and lowered the layer of pants and underwear until his hardness was in front of you. You tried to hold back your wide-eyed reaction, but holy... Dick's Dick was big. We'll, it was bigger than any you've ever seen. All three.
"Like what you see?" He asked above you with a knowing smile.
You realized you were staring, then you looked up at him and nodded eagerly before taking him in your mouth. You watched his brow furrow in pleasure as he gasped, hand still cradling your head. He drawled, "Oh baby, yes. Just like that. Good girl."
You moaned around him at the praise, eager for more. Licking and sucking, you thought to yourself, this was the most eager you've ever been to give someone a blow job, not sure why - I guess the right ones just have that effect.
"Baby," He moaned. "If you want me to fuck you, you should stop."
Reluctantly you pulled away, watching his face, studying his expressions. You got up slowly on wobbly legs and fell back onto the soft, cushion of the bed, backing up to give him room.
Dick tisksed, shaking his head. You wondered what that was about, but then he grabbed you by your ankle and pulled you towards himself. It barely took any effort for him to do that. Your breath hitched, more so when you two were now met torso to torso as he leaned over you, lining himself up. He grabbed one of the pillows on his bed head, lifted you by the small of your back, and placed the pillow under it. Then, he rolled on the condom. You were surprised, usually having to do both those actions yourself.
When he thrust into you, the two of you gasped in unison. His pupils were wide as he gazed down at you before drawing you against him. You clung onto him as he trusted into you again and again. "Ah, ah, Dick-"
"So tight." He bit his lip. "God, baby. You're so perfect."
"Dick, I'm - oh," you stuttered. "Please, more, please,"
He sped up his rhythm, brushing your sensitive spot with each thrust, moaning as he did. "So, fucking tight. Feels so good, baby."
"Yeah," you gazed up at him with those glassy eyes, and Dick felt like he won. He hadn't lied when he said he wanted to kiss you. We'll. He did lie. In truth, he wanted to do so much more. But having you beneath him, moaning his name, and gazing up at him like he was all that mattered made something spark within him. Something powerful. Possessive. He wanted every guy who you've ever been with to see you this way. His. For all intents and purposes, in this perfect moment, you were his.
Dick pressed his hand to your lower belly, feeling himself slide in and out of you. The action resulted in a sweet pressure inside you, building up and making you write under him.
God, did he know what he was doing. It was refreshing. Truly.
Your nails scratched down his back to grasp as his hips needing him closer, as close as possible. Your orgasm hit like a wave, making you cry out as your whole body shuddered.
Your shaking hands cradled his face. He shuddered and leaned into your touch, making each eager thrust count.
"Come for me," you wispered, eyes pleading. "I wanna see you come."
Oh god, yes. He grunted, pressing against you. He would do anything, everything. All you had to do was ask in that breathy, cute voice. Please.
As if obeying an order, his orgasm shot through his entire body. Your arms snaked around him, pulling him down to you for a kiss, and he lowered himself to indulge you.
You were so sweet, so vulnerable in his arms. So different from the composed, confident girl he'd remembered. He held you as close as he possibly could, nearly crushing you. But you didn't mind. Welcoming his warm embrace.
γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹
You had class early the next day, a weekend course that was unfortunately mandatory. So you dressed quickly, hoping not to wake him. Thoggh, you realized you failed when you heard stirring from the bed just as you picked up your discarded shoes. You turned to see him blinking away sleep. He looked cute with his hair still messy, bare torso and arms covered by a messily draped bed sheet.
And you enjoyed waking up in his embrace too. His arm resting as a pillow under your head as you slept on your side, as his other arm was draped around your waist.
"Going somewhere?" His voice was a low rasp, rough with sleep.
You managed a small, apologetic smile. "I’ve got a nine a.m. lecture every Saturday."
Dick’s gaze narrowed slightly, the hint of a frown on his lips. "It’s six."
"I know," you murmured, glancing down at your clothesβ€”a crumpled, half-worn version of last night’s outfit. "But I’ve got to go home first. I can’t exactly show up like this."
He pushed himself up, revealing the full view of him in the early light, looking both effortless and undeniably inviting. "I’ll drive you."
"You don’t have to," you said, shaking your head quickly. "I already called an Uber-"
"Cancel it."
"It’s...already here," you replied, lifting your phone. "ETA one minute."
A flicker of something - was that disappointment? - crossed his blue eyes, but he only shrugged. "Alright."
The silence that followed felt heavy, pressing against you as you avoided his gaze. "Thank you for yesterday," you said finally, your voice quieter. "It was... fun."
His lips twisted into a teasing smirk. "You know, you could’ve woken me up for another round."
You let out a soft, half-sarcastic laugh. "You looked peaceful. I didn’t want to ruin that."
He snorted, leaning back, the look in his eyes lingering as he watched you slip on your shoes.
"See you around," you murmured, already halfway out of the bedroom, the words feeling less like a promise and more like a polite exit.
γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹
Twice in one week. You hesitated the moment you stepped into the bar with your fellow interns, their laughter and voices fading as they moved toward a round table further in.
You knew better than this. You were an adult, and when you’d agreed to that night with him, you both understood it was just that - one night. But try as you might, logic hadn’t stopped your body from betraying you. Your breath hitched, and an ache tightened in your chest as your gaze fell on a too-familiar face.
There he was, leaning casually against the wall, lips pressed to someone else’s in a way that was both effortless and intimate. His hands traced her back with the same warmth you’d felt only nights ago.
And suddenly, that story he told you about the pub became just that, a story. Just like any other man had told you to get in your pants. A means to an end. You mentally admonished yourself, disbelief at falling for yet another one.
You swallowed hard, feeling the sting of something you couldn't quite name. You’d told yourself it didn’t mean anything. But here, watching him so easily entwined with someone else, you couldn't help but feel discarded. Hurt.
γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹γ€Šγ€‹

meeting the master
neteyam sully x fem!metkayina!reader
summary: when neteyam gets invited to one of your famous parties, he’s not too sure why. he knows of you, but doesn’t know you. you change that.
warnings: fluff, neteyam checking you out, you checking him out
aged up characters ofc, not proof read
this is high key based off the great gatsby fyi🀞
Tumblr media
β€œneteyam! you have to come to y/n’s party tonight!” mukata exclaimed.
he was one of the boys neteyam and his brother quickly befriended in awa’atlu.
neteyam’s ears twitched at your name.
everyone always raved about your parties, how charming and beautiful you were. but neteyam had never seen you.
the more and more he heard about you, the more it intrigued him. how can someone be so great to a whole clan?
that night, deep into the ocean on an island, neteyam disconnected his queue to the ilu. his feet hit the cold sand as he pushed his braids out of his face.
loud cultural music consumed his upturned ears as they twitched from the noise. there were easily over three hundred clan members on the island.
neteyam suddenly felt very insecure. he was the only omatikaya- standing alone- in the middle of a crowded party.
β€œneteyam!” mukata ushered the man over. neteyam silently thanked eywa for not making him stand alone any longer.
β€œisn’t this great? one of y/n’s best!” mukata commented, his almond eyes blinking quickly.
β€œvery… lavish.”
throughout the night, neteyam sipped on a specialty drink that was made specifically for that night.
he began to wonder where you actually were. really, he just didn’t know what you looked like.
some metkayina girls approached neteyam, batting their eyelashes and flirting with him.
β€œhave you met y/n yet?” leyra asked.
β€œi have not.”
β€œshe is like royalty. if tsireya wasn’t the chief’s daughter, everyone would believe y/n is.”
β€œi’ve heard that she has eaten people.” eyrina said, her voice barely above a whisper.
neteyam’s brow bone raised as his ears twitched.
β€œdon’t be ridiculous-β€œ leyra gently slapped her friend.
β€œi believe my friend is calling me,” neteyam dismissed himself. he needed fresh air- the party atmosphere was extremely overwhelming.
he pushed through some brush and found a woman. long curly hair cascaded down her back in a V shape, a fancy loincloth that had shells and pearls decorated on the waist. it hung low on her hips and jewelry filled her finned-arms.
β€œhello?” he asked softly.
you turned around to hear the voice that startled you. a tall man with broad shoulders and- it was one of the sullys.
the sully family had arrived in awa’atlu a few weeks prior. you blinked your eyes at him, your second eyelid showing as it took a second to disappear.
β€œhi.”
β€œgetting some air?” he questioned you, joining you to stand by the ocean.
β€œyes, same with you?” you asked.
β€œyes ma’am, i needed a break from the crowd.”
you were beyond gorgeous. a flower was tucked behind your ear, purposely balanced on the flesh. you had big, doe eyes that sparkled in the moonlight.
it quickly made neteyam flustered.
his freckles were illuminated under the moon as you stared at him, the white dots seeming placed from eywa in a particular manner.
he was a very handsome man, with almost eight inches of height between your heads.
β€œi understand. who invited you?” you asked him, your voice gentle as you gazed down at his veiny hands.
β€œmukata, he said this would be y/n’s biggest party yet. although, i still haven’t met her. and really, i’ve heard so much about her yet i’m surprised she didn’t have a grand entrance to the party introducing herself.”
neteyam felt himself ramble, his eyes finally going to meet your face. you had a blank expression, one he couldn’t read.
β€œi guess i haven’t been a good host then,” you shrugged.
β€œwhat?” neteyam asked, his heart dropping.
you laughed at the man.
β€œi’m y/n, nice to meet you…”
β€œneteyam.”
β€œnice to meet you, neteyam.”
β€œngaytxoa (my apologies), y/n, i didn’t know-β€œ
β€œit’s okay, neteyam.”
you reassurance only made him feel a little better, however the overwhelming guilt was larger.
β€œno really, i-β€œ
β€œneteyam, it is fine.” you placed your hand on his bicep, the muscle flexing under your touch. neteyam suddenly realized he was extremely touched starved and craved more of it.
a crimson pink made its way onto his cheeks as he looked out onto the ocean.
β€œdo you want to know a secret?” you whispered, lifting yourself on the tips of your toes to reach his ear.
he softly purred, making your heart stammer.
β€œi do not really care for parties.”
neteyam turned to look at you, a confused look on his face.
β€œthen why do you throw them?”
you shrugged at the man.
β€œif i don’t, then this island will remain boring forever.”
neteyam’s ears faltered as you turned to look out at the sea.
β€œi love the ocean and my home, but sometimes i need change.”
β€œlike a forest?”
you looked back at neteyam to see him giving you a small smile. you grinned back.
β€œperhaps a forest.”
you and neteyam spent all night talking about your homes, the reason him and his family came to awa’atlu, and many other things.
the sunrise was quickly coming as you rubbed your eyes.
neteyam was laying on the sand next to you as you hugged your knees to your chest, continuing to babble on and on about your lives.
and while you two talked for hours, there was never an awkward moment. everything just felt right.
β€œi guess we should head back to the main land.” you suggested, seeing the fisherman off in the distance.
neteyam agreed, standing up. he offered you his hand, an electric shock going through both of you as your finned hand connected with his.
he was much stronger than you, his back filled with muscles. and sand.
β€œneteyam, you have sand on your back.”
without waiting for him to answer, you stepped behind him and ran your hands over his deep blue skin. the stripped patterns looked beautiful as you were mesmerized by his back.
neteyam accidentally let out a loud purr as you grazed against skin, making both of you blush.
β€œfeel nice?” you teased, finally removing your hands from his skin (much to neteyam’s dismay).
the sunrise was dotting on your teal skin, illuminating your features as you stared up at neteyam.
in the beginning of his stay, he had yet to realize why you were so important, why everyone was obsessed with you.
but when he sat and talked with you, he soon found himself realizing just exactly why everyone adored you.
you were thoughtful, intelligent, cared for your people, funny, witty, and many other things he could not put into words.
and he began to think to himself if he could imagine being with anyone else, despite just having met you.
but when eywa calls, neteyam answers. and right now, he can hear a ringing in his ears.

Can i request a reading of enhypen’s ni-ki off cam personality? And his views when it comes to relationships (platonic and romantic)?
i will be doing the second question in another post, maybe even in a collective one for the full group 🀭 enjoy the read
niki's real personality behind the scenes
based on tarot. i do not know these idols personally. energies are always changing. what i say is NOT straight fact. pls take it with a grain of salt!
Tumblr media
3ow&su, 9osw&5op, 10op, pagosw, 7op&to bod: 4osw + off cam, niki is someone pretty open-minded. i'm getting this huge desire to expand his views and beliefs, big interest in experiencing things that are very foreign and new to him. he definitely loves a challenge and feels his best when he can just go somewhere else, whether that's physically or mentally. does he enjoy travelling in his free time? if he doesn't do it, he definitely wants to. he likes getting his mind off life sometimes, and just exploring different cultures, or even hearing stories about people's lives completely different to him. he finds it very interesting and intriguing.
one thing that's a constant for niki, is this boy lives to work. it's interesting, because despite this being a reading on him off cam, even behind the scenes i can see work occupying most of his mind. he's been exposed to the industry since he was so young, it's pretty much all he's known till now, so it's almost like the easiest thing in the world for him to remain career-focused. it's when he feels he's at his best, and most comfortable. in contrast, when not working is when he can quickly get into a more tense headspace and start overthinking. he's the type who needs to stay busy, in order to distract himself from his own thoughts, since he can be a huge overthinker, especially in regards to himself. i can just see him obsessing over doing everything perfectly, and himself being his own biggest critic. (is this boy an earth rising? he kinda looks like one too) but he has extremely professional and surprisingly mature energy in regards to his career. honestly blew my mind to remember he just turned 18 and could teach some older idols a few things concerning their attitude at work.
niki is also a person who is much more observant than we realize. he's someone with a quick wit and clever mind, a person who basically lives in his head. very very smart boy, much more intelligent and insightful than some people think. there is this self-aware and self-reflective quality to him, where he can quickly pick up on his mistakes, and is always open to changing. literally, he doesn't mind completely tearing down some habits, if that means he'll improve. he's always looking to reach his best potential, and is firm in his mentality.
to give you an example, he definitely had and sometimes still has the habit of being very sharp-tongued. sometimes he just says things that can easily hurt people, and this is something he's very aware of. he doesn't just brush it off like "whatever, guess that's what i'm like" no, he will definitely reflect on his behavior once he gets some time to think and put in effort to improve. especially because he himself is much more easily hurt than others think, even he himself doesn't always seem to acknowledge his more sensitive side. so there is this subconscious thought of "i can't be like this."
in general though, niki is just very chill and laidback. he truly doesn't like drama, doesn't enjoy conflicts, just wants to stay low-key and do what he has to do. i can see his hyungs fighting like cats and dogs while he's sitting there on his phone completely unfazed by what's going on. he doesn't enjoy being consumed by negative energy, since this can get his emotions to bubble up and truly mess him up sometimes, so he keeps himself out of situations as much as he can. could definitely seem kinda self-absorbed to some people, but he's just very protective of his own energy.
whe&3oc, sta, pagow, 7oc, pagoc, 4osw&acop, bod: 9op
- he just lives in his own little world and bubble, to an excessive extent. pretty selective about who he calls his friends, and truly doesn't seem to be very invested or even interested in putting effort into maintaining friendships. is he the member who just never answers on katalk and doesn't really react in the enha groupchat lol, like a ghost? that's the vibe he's giving. unbothered about others, puts more thought into matters about himself and his own life. if it doesn't concern him, he doesn't truly care. i see this pattern a lot for people who are incredibly absorbent to others' feelings and energy, often for significant pisces placements (esp ☾) they're so easily consumed by that, it's a self-protective mechanism in order to shield themselves from any sort of hurt.
niki still struggles to truly acknowledge and appreciate his more softer and emotional side. that's when he feels more awkward and insecure, it's a part of himself he's not comfortable with. he doesn't enjoy getting emotional, since he fears the loss of control over himself, he gets worried about just saying or doing things out of pure emotion and messing things up not only for himself, but others too. i keep getting this feeling of him really hating to hurt people, he feels guilt pretty quickly. and in his eyes it often happens whenever his emotions take over him, like he just isn't himself. so, he prefers to not even put himself into situations where this is a possibility, and just runs away from his feelings, as well as people who can bring that emotional side out in him. i can see he can probably get more emotionally attached than he'd want to, and that can scare him off. he doesn't like people thinking he's dependant on them.
there definitely is an arrogant quality to the way he carries himself off cam. he gives off this vibe of knowing how good he is, and people can quickly perceive that as being conceited and full of himself, especially if they feel threatened by that confidence. however, much of that is just fierce self awareness. he holds himself up to insanely high standards, and can feel overwhelmingly insecure if he doesn't meet them.
if you aren't of any use to him, it's unlikely niki will entertain your attendance for very long. as previously said, he carefully selects who he gives his time and energy to, and much of this is based on what that certain connection can do for him. he's just very self-centered, which can easily make people feel like he doesn't give a damn about anyone, and sometimes even hurt or disappointment them. he seems to have this mentality of "we all live and die alone anyway" so he'd prefer to nurture and take care of his own self rather than putting much effort into others. he goes through life thinking we all have to be more selfish in order to succeed. "no one is going to live life for me, so i might as well do it for myself." is what i hear.

Pick a Card: What is Your Future Online Persona?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Top Left-> Right- 1,2 Bottom Left->Right- 3,4
Introduction
Are you interested in knowing what kind of future online persona you will have? Pick one of the images and you will receive who you might turn out to be as an online persona in the upcoming months or years given your current trajectory in life. You should also know the messages that came through for each pile has certain gothic vibes to each. If you are interested, check it out.
================================================================================================
Pile 1
Cards: The High Priestess, The Hermit, Seven of Swords Reading: Your persona is like a hidden forceβ€”introspective, secretive, and deeply reflective. The High Priestess speaks to intuition and mystery; this persona of yours reveals little to nothing about your true personal life, choosing silence over engagement. With The Hermit, you are moving towards spending time alone in contemplation, valuing your privacy above all. The Seven of Swords adds a layer of subtle strategyβ€”when you do share something, it is deliberate and cryptic. Others may feel intrigued but can never quite understand who you as a person really are, leaving an aura of mystery. You will give off a lone wolf vibe, almost like retreating from a toxic environment that you were subjected to in a certain phase of your life. Peace over everything will be your motto.
================================================================================================
Pile 2
Cards: The Sun, The Empress, Ten of Cups Reading: This persona that you will embody radiates warmth and kindness. The Sun represents a bright, positive energy that lights up every interaction. You will have a persona that is generous and nurturing, always there for others with The Empress, embodying motherly compassion. The Ten of Cups signals that you offer a sense of fulfillment, creating spaces where people feel safe and supported. Your online presence feels almost too perfect, a constant source of happiness and encouragement, giving off an impression of a life in perfect harmonyβ€”though people might wonder if you are really as flawless as you appear. Basically your mask is just too perfect, but of course your life could entail a lot of interesting experiences that allow you to post all these in the coming times. Certainly there is an underlying tension , like you are trying to prove someone wrong.
================================================================================================
Pile 3
Cards: The Moon, Eight of Cups, The Tower Reading: The Moon shows a persona cloaked in illusion and shadows, hard to pin down. People may search for you online, but there are no solid traces, just vague whispers. With the Eight of Cups, this persona of yours shows that you have deliberately turned your back on the digital world, walking away from the distractions of online life. The Tower reflects a decision to drastically remove yourself from the conventional world, shocking to those who attempt to look you up. You are going to be a ghost in the machineβ€”here one moment, and gone the next, leaving no footprints behind. Who are you truly?, people will wonder... But you have an air of success, yet you remove yourself from the limelight... Why is that? people wonder. Certainly an interesting persona you will have going on. Truly an illusionary. You seem to be planning something with your life bts, so this is one reason why you are having this persona. A machine that rumbles is the vibe that is given off. You are preparing for something so you intend to keep things super low key.
================================================================================================
Pile 4
Cards: The Hierophant, Knight of Pentacles, The Devil Reading: Your future online persona appears steady and predictable with the Hierophant, you will appear as someone who follows routines and systems, offering consistency in their posts and interactions. The Knight of Pentacles represents dedicationβ€”you are seen to be all about the hard-working, and stability. You will likely be someone who shows a life of following the rules and being by the book. However, beneath the surface, The Devil card suggests there is something unspoken, something darker or more complex hidden from view. While you may appear well-put-together, there is a hidden depth or struggle that you choose not to reveal, maintaining a curated version of their life for the public to see. Life is nothing but a play is one of your mottos. Life is a Costume Party, like Kafka has mentioned, so why show up with your real face?

Suddenly reminded of a semi lighthearted but could be super fucked up time travel idea I had ages back.
So everyone dies save for Enid. Goody uses their ambient magic, the Blood Moon situation, the land she cursed and herself to fuel a spell to launch Enid back in time.
Except Enid is not the perspective character, its still Wednesday.
The thing is, when she sees Enid she is low key freaked out because she is not seeing what everyone else is seeing save maybe her mother who is just raising further questions.
Because Enid's face is obscure in a shadow that resembles a screaming, thrashing wolf ready to murder. Endlessly bleedings scars adorn those shadows and only her eyes of piercing light can be made out.
Her every instinct screams 'wrong, wrong wrong!'
But Enid is friendly and helpful and strangely seems to know intimately how to talk to Wednesday to make her feel relaxed and at home at Nevermore. Like she might not hate being there and like Enid might make an amiable companion.
Naturally she is caught between very intrigued and super freaked out.
She may team up with the other psychics to try and figure out what Enid is, including Rowan whose issues zero in on her instead perhaps or its a Wednesday exclusive thing. Though I think Yoko might always be able to smell that Enid is bleeding from the face but can't place why.
Tumblr media
lowkey, i like that
just enid unable to hide what she truly is in the inside is nice, i'll just.. nab this idea rq

Tumblr media
You sat at your new desk, in your new office– the laminate chipped and worn from the years of service. It mirrored the experiences of the precinct itself. Casting a harsh, cold glow, the fluorescent lights made everything seem more stark and unforgiving. You were currently in your first week taking over from Fury, a man whose retirement still left a sour taste in your mouth. He left a murky legacy behind, filled with unspoken truths and shadows that clung to the corners of the station like cobwebs.Β 
The paper was rough under your fingertips as you sifted through a pile of old case files. The scent of ink and aged paper filled your nostrils. One file stood out among the usual fare of petty theft, domestic disputes, and minor assaults. The file was thick, bursting at the seams, as though it had been fed a diet of steady statements, reports, and evidence over the years. The label read: β€œThe Avengers.” 
Intrigued, you began to read the bulky file. The Avengers’ dossier is a detailed chronicle, each page a testament to their cunning audacity. Countless reports, dozens of names and dates, each one hinted at crimes far more severe than the paperwork let on. Yet, despite the mountain of documentation against each member, there hadn’t been a single arrest, and not one charge had ever stuck. And, the deeper you dived, the more glaring the gaps became.Β 
It was clear now, that the corruption ran deep. You marveled at the arrogance of it all. The notes from your predecessor, Fury, peppered throughout the files, they were vague and non-committal. They often led investigations into dead ends– he was their shield, their unseen ally.Β 
Pushing away from your desk, you made your way to the station’s bullpen. The usual chatter, ringing phones, and officers exchanging the latest gossip buzzed in the air. You caught the eye of your new partner, Officier Maria Hill, who raised her eyebrow at the file in your hand.Β 
β€œRogers?” she asked, her voice low, almost whispered as it carried a mix of curiosity and caution.Β 
β€œYeah,” you replied, your voice steady. β€œLook at this, something's off.” Handing her the file, you watched her eyes widen with each passing page.Β 
β€œI always knew Fury was dirty, but this…” Hill trailed off, shaking her head. β€œRogers’ and his gang have a lot of power and friends in low places… I’d tread carefully if I were you.” 
You nodded. β€œI’ll play this one smart. No tipping my hand until I have something solid.” 
~
One evening, as you poured yourself into the files yet again, you noticed a pattern emerging. A name that keeps appearing, seemingly insignificant at first but, you grew more suspicious with each mention. It was the seemingly younger member of the gang. Unlike the others, her involvement was minimal, almost as if she had been deliberately kept in the background. Your mind formed a hunch, a gut feeling boiled– she might be the key to unraveling their web of deceit.Β 
The next morning, you stake out the art gallery that she works at. The gallery seemed like a stark contrast to the gritty world of the Avengers. It was bright with an airy interior, filled with natural light that danced off the polished floors. Colorful paintings and sketches adorned the white walls. You blended in with a small crowd of art enthusiasts, watching the younger girl move gracefully through the space. She wore a quiet confidence as she interacted with the visitors.
She seemed genuinely passionate about her work as you noted her routine. Observing how she spoke to patrons and carefully arranged the pieces on displays. Her world seemed different from the criminal world her brother and friends inhabited.Β 
Finally, as the gallery began to empty, you saw your chance. Approaching her, your heart pounded with the weight of the task ahead. β€œThese pieces are incredible,” you say, stopping in front of one of her sketches. β€œDo you have any favorites?” 
She smiled, her demeanor warm and welcoming. β€œThank you. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but this one,” she gestured to a sketch of a man, he seemed familiar to you but you couldn’t quite place his face. β€œThis one is definitely special to me.” 
β€œIt’s beautiful,” you replied, nodding appreciatively. β€œIt seems like you put a lot of yourself into your work.” 
Her eyes sparkled with genuine pride as she nodded. β€œArt is my escape. I express things I can’t always put into words.” 
β€œIt’s nice to have an escape,” you paused, taking a deep breath before deciding to ease into the topic. β€œI’ve heard your brother runs the tattoo studio downtown too, it seems like the art runs in your family.”
Her smile faltered for a fraction of a second, yet she recovered quickly. Her eyes never lost their warmth. β€œYeah, Steve is quite the artist himself. He’s very talented.” 
β€œIt’s impressive,” you continued, trying to keep your tone casual. β€œI’ve um, I’ve seen some of his designs… and he’s got quite the reputation.” 
Glancing around the gallery, she chuckled softly. β€œSteve’s work is… intense. He puts as much passion into his tattoos as I do into my sketches, if not more.” 
You nodded, feeling the sense of opportunity to learn more. β€œIt must be challenging, balancing such different worlds. Your art here and his studio, not to mention his, um, other activities.” 
Her expression tightened slightly, but she maintained her composite. β€œOur paths are very different, but we have always been close. He does what he thinks is right, and I focus on my art. We support each other.” 
The answer was careful and measured. So, you tried another angle. β€œIt must be difficult though, with everything that’s been going on lately. The Avengers have been getting a lot of attention.” 
Her eyes narrowed as she glanced at you sharply before she forced a smile. β€œI try not to get involved in that side of things. I keep my head down and focus on my work and my relationship.” 
You felt the resistance and did not want to push too hard. Nodding, you sent her a genuine smile. β€œThat’s probably for the best. You have a lot of talent and a bright future ahead. Your brother must be very proud.” 
For a moment, the tension eased and a genuine smile touched her lips. β€œHe is. Ever since we were children, he has told me to follow my dreams, no matter what.” 
Sensing the conversation had reached its limit, you couldn’t help but ask one more question. β€œOut of curiosity, do you get visitors from his world here? People who come to see your work?” 
Laughing softly, she shook her head. β€œUnless you count my boyfriend, the gallery isn’t exactly their scene. They know about my art, and usually come to my opening nights but other than that, they keep their distance.” 
Appreciating her openness, you smiled, even if she was guarded. β€œWell, I’m glad I stopped by. Your art is truly… something special.” 
β€œThank you,” she replied, another genuine smile gracing her face. β€œI appreciate you taking the time to look.” 
As you left the gallery, you replayed the conversation in your mind. The younger Rogers had been careful, but her responses confirm what you already suspected. She knew more than she let on and was deeply intertwined with her brother’s world. She might have been different from the rest of the Avengers, with her sweet demeanor and unproblematic passion, but she was still a part of their story.
~
After a few days stuck in your office after visiting the art gallery, you decided to try a more direct approach. The next destination you wanted to try was the bar where the Avengers were regulars.Β 
After entering the bar, you ordered a drink and took a seat, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Long shadows were cast in the dim light, making it easier to observe without drawing attention. Sitting in a corner booth, the Avengers gathered. Steve Rogers’ presence was commanding, and he seemed to exude an air of calculated vigilance.Β 
Sipping your drink, you engaged in idle conversation with the bartender, casually observing Steve and the gang. Then, despite your attempts to stay low-key, you could feel Steve’s eyes on you, sharp and calculating. A steady gaze, as if he was trying to read you and figure out what you’re up to.Β 
As the evening progressed, two more gang members joined the booth, and you recognized one of them as his sister, from the art gallery. It became clear that Steve’s attention on you had caused tension within the group, as they all began watching you. You decided it was time to leave before things escalated. After finishing your drink, you nod a polite goodbye to the bartender and make your way out of the bar.
As you walk back to your car, the cool night air hits you and the city’s distant noises create a backdrop of uneasy tranquility. Mentally, you review the encounter, noting Steve’s wariness and the tension from their booth. You headed back to your office, with a feeling of relief and anticipation.Β 
You looked forward to officially reviewing the evening’s findings and plotting your next steps when you reached the station. But yet, as you unlocked the door to your office, you stopped dead in your tracks.Β 
Casually sitting at your desk, leaning back in the chair was Steve Rogers– dressed in his signature leather jacket, looking every bit the part of the imposing figure you had been watching. His eyes locked onto yours as you entered, and a smirk played at the corners of his mouth.Β 
β€œSo,” he began, calm and steady, but it carried an unmistakable edge, β€œyou’re Fury’s replacement?” The question was straightforward, but he made it clear he’d already made up his mind about you.

A Little Parlor Trick
Tumblr media
Characters: Crowley x reader
Summary: A first encounter with the King of Hell stirs a curiosity that you aren’t sure you will be able to shake.
Word Count: 1413 words
Prompt: β€œAnd I’ve got friends on the other side.”
A/N: This is for the lovely @caplanbuckybarnes Caplan’s Disney Celebration. It’s been a hot minute since I wrote my favourite demon, but he is always worth the wait.
The dull hum of the Impala’s engine faded as Dean turned the key, cutting off the familiar purr that had become background noise during the long drive to New Orleans. The air here felt differentβ€”heavier, older, like it was thick with secrets. It clung to your skin, the humidity wrapping around you like a second layer of clothing as you stepped out onto the cracked pavement.
You glanced at the dilapidated house before you. It looked abandoned, but you knew better. A set-up like this was rarely what it seemed, and when dealing with demons, that was the one constant you could rely on.
Sam and Dean exchanged a look. You’d been hunting with the Winchesters for a few months nowβ€”long enough to be able to interpret some of their silent language, even if you didn’t quite speak it fluently. This was your first real test, your first hunt involving the King of Hell himself, Crowley. You’d heard of him, of courseβ€”every hunter worth their salt had. But hearing about him and meeting him were two different things.
"Stay close," Dean murmured, shooting you a quick glance. It wasn’t that they didn’t trust you; it was just that Crowley was unpredictable. Dangerous. And it was never wise to underestimate a demonβ€”especially this one.
You nodded, falling into step behind them as they approached the door. It creaked open, revealing a dimly lit interior. It felt cooler inside, almost cold, and there was an unmistakable smell of incense and something darker, like old magic.
And then you saw him.
Crowley stood in the center of the room, wearing his trademark suit with a deep red silk pocket square tucked neatly in place. He looked like he belonged more in a posh London penthouse than in this rundown Louisiana shack. His dark eyes glinted as he watched the three of you enter, a smirk already playing on his lips.
β€œWell, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in,” he drawled, his gaze flickering to you with interest. β€œAnd who might you be? New pet, boys?”
You squared your shoulders. β€œI’m not a pet.”
Crowley’s smirk widened as he let out a low chuckle, the sound rolling out smooth and lazy. β€œOh, I like you already. A little fire in the belly. Just what I need.”
Dean cut in sharply, his tone gruff. β€œEnough games, Crowley. You said we’d find what we need here. We need information.”
β€œAh, yes. Straight to business as usual, Dean.” Crowley’s gaze lingered on you, his eyes twinkling with mischief. β€œBut why rush when we can savor the moment?”
You held your ground, not wanting to show weakness in front of the demon. β€œYou’re wasting our time. Are you going to help us or not?”
Crowley raised an eyebrow, amused. β€œFeisty.” He waved a hand casually, and the room seemed to shift, shadows growing longer, darker. β€œAlright, kitten. If you want a little parlor trick, I’ll oblige. After all, I do love putting on a show.”
With a snap of his fingers, the lights dimmed even further, and an array of candles flickered to life around the room, casting an eerie glow. You could feel a pulse of magic, something thick and tangible in the air, and it made your skin tingle.
Crowley took a step toward you, his gaze steady and unyielding. β€œYou see, I’ve got friends on the other side,” he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, β€œand they’ve got quite the talent for giving people what they want.”
His words sent a shiver down your spine. There was something in the way he spoke, a kind of hypnotic cadence that made you lean in just a little closer, despite yourself. You knew you shouldn’t be intrigued, that you shouldn’t feel that pullβ€”but it was there, undeniable and growing stronger with every syllable that fell from his lips.
β€œDon’t listen to him,” Sam warned, his voice cutting through the haze that seemed to have settled over your thoughts.
You blinked, shaking off the strange allure that Crowley’s voice had carried. He noticed, of course, the shift in your stance, the way your expression hardened again. But instead of being annoyed, he looked even more entertained.
β€œOh, come now,” he said with a dismissive wave at Sam, β€œI’m just having a little fun. It’s not often I get such... charming company.” He directed his smile back to you, a hint of darkness behind his otherwise friendly facade. β€œYou know, it’s a pity you’re tangled up with these two. You’ve got potential.”
You crossed your arms, keeping your expression skeptical. β€œAnd what exactly does β€˜potential’ mean coming from the King of Hell?”
Crowley tilted his head, considering you for a moment. β€œIt means you’re not like the others. Huntersβ€”self-righteous, dull. You’re different. I can see it in your eyes.”
β€œLet me guess,” you retorted. β€œYou’ve got some grand offer that I’d be a fool to refuse?”
β€œWhy, yes,” he replied smoothly, β€œas a matter of fact, I do.” He extended a hand toward you, palm up. β€œYou’re a hunter. That much is clear. But you don’t know what it’s like to have real power. To command it, shape it, twist it to your will. I could show you.”
Dean stepped forward, placing himself between you and Crowley. β€œEnough of your crap, Crowley,” he growled. β€œYou’re not turning anyone here into one of your lackeys.”
Crowley’s expression barely faltered, but his eyes grew colder, a sharp glint replacing the warmth. β€œThere’s no need to be so possessive, squirrel.” He looked past him, locking eyes with you again. β€œThe choice is always yours, darling. But you’d be wise to consider all your options.”
For a moment, you felt that pull again, stronger this time. His words stirred something in you, something deep and unspoken. You weren’t tempted by the promise of power exactly, but there was a dark curiosity there, a part of you that wanted to know what he was truly offering, if only to understand why it resonated in the first place.
You took a step forward, brushing past Dean despite his murmured protest. β€œI’m not interested in becoming a demon’s plaything,” you said, your voice steady and firm. β€œBut if you’re offering information, I’m listening.”
Crowley’s smirk returned, softer this time, almost genuine. β€œWell, that’s a start.” He snapped his fingers again, and the darkness in the room seemed to recoil, lifting like fog under sunlight. β€œVery well, then. I’ll give you what you need. But a fair warningβ€”things in this world often come with strings attached.”
β€œSpare us the theatrics,” Dean snapped, though his voice betrayed a hint of relief. β€œJust tell us where to find the damned witch and the knife to kill her.”
Crowley’s attention shifted reluctantly back to the elder Winchester. β€œShe’s not far from here. Runs a little apothecary down on Royal Street. You’ll know it when you see it.” He glanced at you one last time, that glimmer of interest still evident in his gaze. β€œDo be careful, kitten. It would be a shame if I didn’t get to see you again.”
You turned on your heel and headed for the door with Sam and Dean in tow, trying to ignore the way your heart was beating a little faster than it should have been. You’d expected Crowley to be dangerous, charming even, but you hadn’t expected the encounter to linger like this.
As the three of you stepped back outside, Dean shot you a look, his brow furrowing. β€œYou alright?”
You nodded, not quite trusting your voice yet. β€œYeah,” you replied after a moment. β€œI’m fine.”
But as you walked back to the Impala, you couldn’t shake the feeling that you’d left something behind in that room with Crowleyβ€”a piece of yourself, a curiosity awakened. And as much as you tried to ignore it, you couldn’t help but wonder if he’d seen something in you that even you didn’t fully understand.
Inside the Impala, you replayed his words in your mindβ€”You’ve got potential. You weren’t sure if it was a compliment or a warning, but it echoed there in the back of your thoughts, lingering like the smoke and shadows you’d left behind.
Crowley had planted a seed of doubt in youβ€”a small, insidious thing. And as the engine rumbled back to life, you couldn’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, he knew exactly what he was doing all along.

Apropro of nothing except that I'm mulling over the 4 Minutes mysteries in anticipation of Friday, Great is really shaping up to be a really interesting main character.
First of all, Bible's doing such a good job playing him. He's cast as a rich criminal family kid again, but there's none of Vegas' swagger here, just overwhelm and the low-key simmer of mental breakdown at all times.
Tumblr media
can't pay attention to this developing missing-person case because webmd didn't have anything on my 'visions of 4 minutes into the future' problem
And even though we didn't see much of pre-crisis Great, you already had the impression of him as someone floating through life: drinking his way to blackout the night before an exam, his mom planning to install him in the company where the family wants him without so much as looping him in. This really meshes with the passivity that we're seeing again and again.
Tumblr media
Yeah SOMEONE might, if they were reacting appropriately to this situation
We're just two episodes in, but it's such an intriguing idea, that the protagonist's journey here might not be about overcoming a family tendency to crime or somesuch, but rather about overcoming his own ingrained tendency to do nothing. Sammon touched on this concept a little in Triage, with a disaffected Tin who stopped caring about his patients after his sister's death -- until Sammon stuck him in a timeloop, of course. But Great seems less disillusioned than Tin and more simply indifferent, and I'm excited to see where we're gonna go from here.
