extra thoughts I forgot about/didn't know how to fit them in
first major thought
so there's the lab scene where simon and winter king go to duplicate the crown and the same scene where simon asks about betty to which winter king laughs and says he hasn't thought about her in a long time
now we know that because he projected the crown's madness onto pb/candy queen who then went on to be the love obsessive freak not him then it's not hard to understand that winter king no longer longs for love like simon and ice king do
so when simon asks him how he could possibly say that about the love of their life, they're everything, the reason why they're in this fucking mess (from my understanding I didn't finish the show) and then the winter king goes "hmm that's not how I remember it" which is very questionable like an eyebrow raising comment
wdym that's not how you remember it?? š¤Ø
tbf you can take winter king's words with a grain of salt I mean he no longer longs for affection anymore so that might alter how he feels about his relationship with betty and the memories they shared together
but then also wouldn't he have the same memories as simon?? winter king isn't like ice king he's pretty much as sane as simon is so for his memories to be altered would be kind of weird and I'm sure he could still recognize a good relationship despite not yearning for another romantic relationship anymore
this could mean that in fionna and cake it's revealed that simon's relationship with betty wasn't exactly the best maybe not that it was dogshit but still he put it on a pedestal which is likely I mean with how long it's been his mind could've warped how it actually was or decided to overlook some details
second major thought
so at first when watching this scene it looks like winter king dies out of fucking nowhere like why would him kissing fionna result in his death??
this is actually the second time smth like this has happened in the show
in episode 3 (cake the cat) cake is running in the wild with a squirrel goes to a market
at this place she sees all the different creatures simon's world has to offer and there's a point during her song, cake on the loose, where she's playing with one of the hot dog soldiers and as its getting launched in the air by cake it turns into a regular sausage (or hot dog to wtv weirdo says that)
it seems like fionna and cake interesting with magical things/people from other worlds when theirs lack any magic causes them to lose their magic in return even
prismo has given cake back her silly and magical nature and another situation like the one in episode 3 has yet to happen but fionna hasn't gained any power ups so her kissing winter king has resulted in him reverting back to boring old regular non magical simon
him dying can be explained in this context since it seems simon was brought back by a magical being so ofc he's still alive but fionna isn't magical so yeah winter king fucking evaporated and died
also look at this sick ass promo art for 'cake the cat' drawn by writer and storyboard artist hanna k. nystrƶm
#im done talking about winter king#the rant is over#this show is so interesting so far yayay#cant wait for the next two episodes#winter king you will always be famous#king of my heart š«¶#jayday watched a thing

time works so strangely in the fae realms........... sometime during your relationship with Nightmare you step through a fairy circle and-- you're in the mortal realm. many centuries before you were ever born. and there's Nightmare... a younger, more volatile Nightmare. and he doesn't know who you are....
There's a legend, at the Winter court. One that's old to the oldest courtiers. A legend that once, a thousand years ago, the famously solitary Nightmare did have lovers. Just as many as his brother, in fact. Until... he just didn't anymore.
Nightmare wasn't always the collected, magnetic King he is today. Long ago, he was a monster, a tyrant drunk on rage and greed - the tales of the rivers of blood he spilled are found in scrolls and tapestries alike. Flickers of his capacity for cruelty can still be witnessed, but they are nothing compared to the bonfires of old. Nightmare was vile thing that would take as he saw fit.
... Then suddenly, one day, he had someone by his side. Someone who knew his true name. They spoke in a strange manner, wearing strange clothes, knowing things that should not have been known. They talked to him in a way others would be killed for. For a single month, they were Nightmare's everything. Then they disappeared without a trace.
Nightmare wasn't the same after they vanished. The hot-blooded stallion had quietened. He went from a vicious maniac to a calm, reasonable King, who focused himself on improving the Winter realm. But he also lost something... a certain vibrancy he had before was gone. He never again took a lover.
... Most courtiers write that story off as an overly romantic retelling of Nightmare simply getting more mature over time, losing his lust for violence and settling into his position. It seemed preposterous that the man famous for treating flirtation like a personal insult would ever be the kind to change himself so drastically for a partner.
... But... you really do match the description of the mysterious newcomer in those legends.
Perhaps you remind Nightmare of that lost sweetheart. How romantic. It's nice to see the King finally happy, at least.
#llamagines#fae au#bad sanses#nightmare: [sigh] killer... i miss my wife.#killer: ?????? you??????? have a wife???????????

things from the 2001 television programme band of brothers that haunt me to this day:
- weāre paratroopers lieutenant, weāre supposed to be surrounded. not to be your 60 year old military obsessed uncle about it but that line goes hard
- nixās little giggle he does sometimes
- Iāll never forgive them for leaving geneās medic training out of their training montage. in fact you know what? go back in time, film a parallel sequel of the other 9 eps from geneās pov
- popeyeās āthey called you guys too?ā and the way his accent specifically scratches my brain
- they gave me moose heyliger and his massachusetts accent for like 20 minutes then the narrative snatched him away from me and i still miss him
- the way meehan looks at winters after he tells him to close the flap, in fact letās talk about how every single one of wintersā commanders are obsessed with him in one way or another he truly is the it girl
- the chaos and fear that precedes gene and the calm and comfort that follows him
- I know everyone thinks āweāll go to chicago, Iāll take you thereā is the insane line but the one that actually makes me lose sleep is āwhat, and give up all this?ā THAT MAN SAID I WOULD RATHER LIVE THROUGH THE HORRORS OF WAR THAN HAVE LIVED MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU
- alley is So Beautiful and I donāt think we collectively talk about it enough
- babe being some rando replacement in episode three and whilst his other replacement friends are being absolutely roasted he is immediately adopted by bill and then gets gene fucking roe of all people to connect to him?? heās too powerful I need to study him
- speirs being this ghoulish terrifying boogeyman until lip is anywhere near him then heās suddenly dimples and kicking his feet and giggling
- speaking of lip and speirs their little sarcastic in jokes, lip finishing speirsā sentences fml itās giving married
- you been working out? IN FRONT OF EVERYONE?? LIEB YOU SLUT?? THEN YOURE GONNA LAY IN HIS BED WAITING FOR HIM??? insane behaviour
- the unexplored but high potential friendships and the way I wanted like 16 more episodes for shifty and lip, nix and luz, nix and web, sisk and perconte, winters and gene, grant and tab, lieb and alley, speirs and harry, etc
- the more haggard and bitchy nix gets the hotter he gets. he also must be studied.
- āyou should pack up those ears and go homeā ok sobel kinda ate with that one ngl
- speaking of sobel the little confused/bewildered/piss-pants faces he makes david schwimmer the actor you are
- the silly little wide stance pennywise ass run hall does before he gets murked RIP king
- klepto speirs ilysm
- joe toye and his brass knuckles are v sexy
- sink letting nix give winters his oak leaves was very shipper girl of him
- lip harry nix speirs winters in the eagleās nest dream blunt rotation
- the unsustainable amount of cunt served by nix, frank, babe, and luz at all times is truly a marvel
- tab really checked lipās dick and balls mid battle and honestly thatās friendship
- bit parts for simon pegg, tom hardy, andrew scott, james mcavoy, michael fassbender, jimmy fallon ?? bob casting director you will always be famous
- peacock is so fine if he was even a little good at his job Iād be obsessed with him (special shout out to the scene of him getting sent home on furlough)
- I could list out every one of their meaningful little moments together but really itās babe and gene just tethering and grounding each other and how they seem to gravitate to each other out of blind instinct? thatās some BrontĆ« whatever our souls are made of bullshit Iām afraid
- ok I know I said I wasnāt talking about little meaningful moments but gene staring across the convent at where babe is sitting, lost in the peace
-bull in replacements getting imprinted on by a bunch of baby ducks and being SO PLEASED ABOUT IT heās not the stepfather, heās the father that stepped up
- speaking of, the underutilization of bull in the back half is such an out of character bad call
- you are officers, you are grown ups, you oughta know. HEāS RIGHT AND HE SHOULD SAY IT AND THATāS ON GENE BEING THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO TELL OFF WINTERS
- I know nix and winters are married and whatever but the real married couple behaviour is luz constantly pissing off joe and joe immediately letting it go
- lip and speirs and their mutual competency kink
- IāM REAL SORRY FRANK skinny ilysm

Genshi/HSR Characters as Dragons!
A/n: It has been a bit since my last dragon post, sorry my friends. Gotten a bit under the weather but I think that small reprieve has given me a lot of time to think of these designs! So I really hope you like them. Let me know what you think, or maybe who you'd like to see next in dragon form?
Contents: Diluc Ragnvindr, Sunday, Trailblazers(Stelle and Caelus) x GN Reader (separate), angsty hcs and also fluff, implied religious trauma in Sunday's hcs? Trauma in general.
Words: 2000
Diluc Ragnvindr:
-The esteemed Uncrowned King of Mondstadt is not only famous for belonging to a rich family and being top of the food chain in the industry, but also for possessing a power unlike any other. Dragons and dragon shapeshifters, although not unheard of or rare, have been scarcely seen since the cataclysm. Besides Dragon Dvalin, not many others are present in Mondstadt today
-No one exactly knows whether the Ragnivindr family had dragon people before, as the family seems to have kept their history to themselves, but if secrecy was their goal then what did bring Diluc to display his skill with claws and fang? Some speculate that it is not the Ragnvindr lineage that carries this power, but rather it is his mother that passed down the dragon blood onto her son. Diluc doesnāt talk about it whatever the case is.Ā
-Even in dragon form he is hard to mistake for someone else. He carries himself with power in every step and is always well kept.Ā
-Kaeya used to tease him when they were children, when Diluc didnāt have much control over his draconic form and when he used to stumble from being a kid one moment and being a small hatchling the other. Kaeya would pull at his tail only to get smacked by it. But the two boys were inseparable and trusted one another. Kaeya never spilled the secret of his red-headed brotherās abilitiesĀ
-Not even the childhood friends Jean and Barbara knew of the secret
-Yet, that dreadful night came when Crepus died, and flames soared so high and so hot that not even the rain could quench it.Ā
-It goes without saying that Diluc carries a lot of guilt and trauma from those days and for the first time in his life he found himself truly and utterly alone. He had no one. Crepus was dead, Kaeya betrayed him, Adelinde was just a maid, he couldnāt trouble her and he and any other friend he may have had in his youth have long since drifted apart.
-Grief turned to anger and that anger swallowed him, pushing him onward on the path of vengeance.
-Shneznaya had suffered much of his attacks - well, the Fatui there did, Diluc never risked harming a civilians, and he had saved quite a few hostages that the Fatui had gotten their hands on. In the land of ice, Diluc almost died as well once he came face to face with one of the Fatui Harbingers, and a dragon shifter at that too. He managed to live by the skin of his teeth, dragging his battered self into the snowy deserts that stretched on endlessly
-That incident ultimately sent him back to his home. He had learnt much and suffered plenty, it was time to let the winter turn to spring.
-Adelinde and Elzer had sent him many letters, he knew, he received most of them. Yet he never had the heart to respond to them..
-He came back a new man, scarred both in flesh and soul, yet a small piece of him wasā¦ content, maybe numb too. The cold of the nation Tsaritsa governs over certainly took its toll on him.
-If truth be told, he didnāt expect to return from the trip and he certainly didnāt think heād ever form any sort of notable relationships in his personal life. He didnāt look for them nor did he particularly look forward to any either. His wound always felt too fresh to let anyone close
-Yet you just managed to do just that. Get close enough into this barricade he built around himself, and you helped put soft linen around his wounds, holding him close when he yearned for touch, leaving him be when he yearned for the cold.
-It took a while, but a rose in the wall of ice began to bloom. Flowers, no matter how delicate, always find cracks to grow in, even stronger than on solid ground.
-Diluc is quite protective of you, very much so, but he is not pushy with it. He understands boundaries and he himself is not a fan of always hovering over someoneās head or being in someoneās space. He does have his ears and good eyes, not just his own, that would alert him should any harm come to you
-You did find some of his feathers around the winery. At first you didnāt know they were his, so you just picked it up as it was still a rather impressive feather, yet it became even more precious once you learnt it belonged to him. Diluc didnāt understand why youād keep it or regard it with so much admiration, but he wasnāt going to voice whatever protest he had that soon died on his tongue
-He reveals his dragon form to you even later, in the lush grass around the Dawn Winery during one dusky evening. Winter was coming so the air was chilly and breezy. You wanted to watch the sunset and to eventually stargaze, but Diluc wanted you warm while you did that, and soon his dragon form was lying behind your back, his warmth seeping into you and keeping you comfortable.
Sunday:
-Not every eye that is open is seeing, and not every eye that is closed is dreaming, so who are we to judge another? Sunday, the dragon in rule over the Land of Festivities, had long since ascended past a simple ruler. His current form alone demanded a certain form of delicate respect, a cautious one at that.
-No one remembers how he may have looked like before, if he had eyes or if those had been claimed by the Harmony or āāāā
-Aeon of Harmony keeps their eyes closed, and in doing so rids themselves of any subjective thoughts. All are equal, and together we are stronger, such is the mantra of Harmony and Sunday was adept at putting that image forth. People were happy, people were content.Ā
-How many wings does Sunday have that are his own? Only two pairs. One pair meant for flight was crippled, cut short, and the other pair shields his eyes from the world. He now only moves and flies when THEY wish he flies, when THEY allow it, when THEY deem it necessary, and not anytime else. These wings are a burden and a blessing. Theyāre not his own but he hates to think theyād hurt him should he make some error - not that he would, he won't allow himself an error. No..
-Sunday inhabits his dragon form a lot of times, which, in a way, is also dictated by THEM. The only time he is human is when he goes behind the screen to listen to people confessing their bad deeds and their sins, bestowing his blessing and forgiveness unto them and guiding them back on the right track. THEY are merciful, he says, you have been forgiven.
-His words of advice and the action he took to ārenovateā the Land of Festivities(Dreams) have gained him much support and love and even many more followers where he previously had less. People generally did like the Oak family, they also loved his sister. She was the pearl of the Oak family, the sun, and he was the moon and the sea.Ā
-The colorful pair of horns on his head is said to come from the Harmony as well, it is THEIR blessing to Sunday, to look more formidable yet more approachable. It is THEIR gift. People know and people see this as a sign that he is the true leader they should follow. Many have become more easy to get to do certain things - most of them good yes, like behaving and upholding the rules while in the Dreamscape, but other actions came as hidden tactics from THEM to harvest the necessary power needed for the next step.
-Sunday has become lost in this grand scheme of things, and even the thought of the next morning became a thought too far to consider. He barely has time alone and to himself, he can never escape the eyes of THEM.
-He hates to trouble you. You two have drifted apart it would seem, yet from time to time Sunday would find you visiting him, wishing to give him company at least for a little while. And silently he prays he can indulge you - he wants to, he misses you, your warmth, your presence, your voice, your touch. He is welcoming to you. You have an idea of whatās happening: stress, work, duty - it is a response that he offered one too many times, but there was more, something you couldnāt dig up. It was a thorn in your side, you couldnāt get it out.
-So you sit with him, sharing some words and stories over dinner, tea and cakes. Other times you lay with him, his ear to your chest, listening to the gentle drumming of your heart, a lullaby that is the last thing able to have him sleep soundly.
-He dislikes for you to see him in his dragon form, he considers it broken although it looks angelic in the eyes of the majority, but as it is the form he is found in a lot of the time it is unavoidable. Yet you are the only person he allows to touch him, besides his sister.Ā
-Touch him, pet him, do as you wish. He is there for you.
Trailblazers:
-Double trouble, Baseballer of the Cosmos, the Nameless, theā¦*looks at smudged ink writing* Yes, the esteemed Trailblazers!
-You may have heard many stories about them, but once you get a look at them in reality, youāll see just how amazing they are. The world is vast, yet they seem to shock everyone with theirā¦otherworldly appearance.
-They both claim they werenāt like this before - they were two different people, but now theyāre not and they do not remember how it all came to be this way. It is odd, but theyāve gotten used to it.
-Despite the appearance, Stelle is the more aggressive of the two and usually packs a more meaner bite, headbutt or a nastier scratch of the claws. Caelus is more shy, despite him looking more scary, he is sheepish and a tad bit more naive. But both of them are determined to get to the bottom of their story and to get back to their own bodies. The stellaron within them also seems to have something to do with their current predicament.Ā
-There were times where they were glad for it, as they could provide each other with company and comfort, their heads nuzzling their cheeks together or tangling their necks when they go to sleep in the dragon form.Ā
-Going in human form is rather complicated, neither of the two like it as one would have to be ādormantā while the other roams the world. The dormant one is able to hear most of what goes on outside, but theyāre stuck roaming the subconscious like a heliobi - roaming through hazy memories and corridors. They have gotten used to each other's company so much that it is odd to be āaloneā.
-They both love the express a lot and their significant other - which also puzzles them as to how they even have one to begin with.. but alright, theyāre not arguing against it nor are they dissatisfied. It is funny how, at times, one of them can get sassy with the other when it comes to dates and things, sometimes even jealous.Ā
-But it is cute, and it works out in the end.
-At times there are situations where it would be better for either Stelle or Caelus to go (battle - Stelle; something more diplomatic - Caelus), so the two can switch back and forth if really necessary
-Their tail in dragon form is something like a beaver tail, although much fluffier. It can pack a nasty hit if youāre unfortunate to be on the receiving end of their attacks..

not without you
Viking Chief!Bucky x Witch!ReaderĀ
Run-through: Youāre a powerful witch, famous and respected for your mastery of magic and ability to control the elements. Naturally, people always need you. Vikings, kings, and common men alike, be it to magically save dying crops, help them win battles, or to protect their people by manipulating the weather. One day, a certain blue-eyed Viking chief asks for your help. Bucky Barnes ā one of the strongest, most feared of his kind, known for his ruthlessness and brutal nature. He offers your wandering self shelter and protection in return for your help in keeping his people and crops alive and well with the harsh winter approaching fast. And you canāt seem to refuse his offerā¦Ā
Themes: witch!reader, viking chief!bucky, smut, fluff, mild knife kink, cosy winter vibes, metal arm, tatted!bucky, possessive!bucky, slight angst, HEA,Ā
a/n: thank you for 28k. I love you.
The wind whispered that he was on his way to you.Ā
By the time the Chief and his men made their way to your makeshift shack on the edge of the woods, you were already out waiting for them.Ā
Hidden under your billowy cloak, with the hood hiding most of your face, you stood and faced the men with confidence. You couldnāt see them, given the hood, but you sensed the way the Chief got off of his horse, clutching his sword in hand as he took a step. Not in fear, no. But in that arrogant way youād expect a Chief to move.Ā
āWitch.ā He greeted you. It was the only way he could greet you anyway, nobody knew your name.Ā
You smirked. Finally peeling your hood off your head. You gave him a brief nod, āChief.ā You looked him right in those ocean blue eyes of his and judging by the look in them, you could tell he wasnāt used to people maintaining eye contact with him. He was an important man after all, and most people feared him.Ā
But your magic had a way of reading people for you andā¦ there was nothing to be afraid of. Not of him. He did look every bit of the fearsome viking he was known as though. Thick furs couldnāt hide the tall, muscular body. His shoulder length brown hair braided in some places. His handsome face was serious, like he rarely smiled. And all that ink all over his neck, and arm ā just one arm because the other one was made of pure metal.Ā
You had heard stories of how heād lost his arm in battle, and how a great, benevolent king ā also a close friend of his ā had the metal arm constructed for him.Ā
But above all else, the Chief was devastatingly handsome. Youād known, courted, and befriended quite some men. Hunters. Lords. Warlocks. Princes. Kings. Yet none were quite as devastatingly handsome as the Chief.Ā
You quickly looked behind him and saw two men standing taller and prouder than the rest of the warriors. The wind whispered their names to you. Sam. Steve. Both were just as handsome as their Chief, however there was something about the male standing in front of you with a sword in hand. Thick white fur wrapped around his shoulders. Clear, icy blue eyes. Pink mouth. The cold made his cheeks and nose red.Ā
āWe heard rumours that you were close to our village, and weāve come to ask for your help.ā The Chief said, gracefully, calmly.Ā
You gave him a nod. āI know.ā You said quietly. āThe north wind brings news that this winter will be exceptionally harsh.ā
Bucky gave you that look that most people gave you when they figured out that your magic was indeed real. He was just a little surprised, but composed himself. āWe desperately need your help.ā He spoke again.Ā
You agreed to help of course. This was your purpose with the magic you had.Ā
And since you had little to pack, you went with them immediately. They didnāt bring an extra horse so you rode with the handsome Chief back to his village where you would be spending the entirety of the coming winter.Ā
You never asked for anything in exchange. Some witches did, most of them did not. Mainly because you never needed anything, you had magic and you could conjure anything you wanted out of nothing. But you liked having company of people. So you considered that payment.Ā
And after spending months on your own, you were looking forward to meeting new people, helping them.Ā
During the ride back to the village youād be calling home for the coming months, you felt the Chief tense behind you. His muscular arms circled around you as he held the reins but he was respectful enough to keep a few inches between you and him. You could only assume how much stress he was putting on his back to keep him from slouching forward.Ā
You hid your smile as you sensed that he was nervous. āYou donāt have to be so tense.ā You said, turning your head to the side a little. āWitches donāt bite.ā You spoke quietly so that the men behind you wouldnāt hear.Ā
āI donātā¦ā He let out a huff of warm air. āI donāt want to be disrespectful.āĀ
You smirked, but he couldnāt see it. āIām just saying, you could use the warmth.āĀ
He didnāt know what you meant until he slowly inched closer, his chest pressing against your back. Even with the multiple layers separating the two of you, your body heat wrapped around him in a way that had him sighing in relief.Ā
Without another word said, his metal arm wrapped around your middle as he pulled you against him even more. You smiled as he leaned in to whisper into your ear, āYouāre very warm.ā He sounded a little surprised. His deep, gravelly voice making you shiver despite the warmth.Ā
āMagic, remember?āĀ
He hummed in response, keeping his arm loosely around your waist as he took you to his village. The tension between you two felt electric.Ā
ā
The ride wasnāt too long, and soon you arrived at the village. It was larger than you had imagined. Busier, but tidier.Ā
Once you got past the tall, wooden palisades you could see more of the daily activities. Hunters sharpening their weapons, warriors training, children running around. You spotted the vast crops, the rivers.Ā
There was so much you couldnāt see, but the elements spoke to you. You knew there was a lake here somewhere. The Chiefās hall was beyond the wooden houses which were scattered all over. You knew there were people gathered somewhere near the beach, working on building a new boat. Multiple boats in fact.Ā
āWelcome to my home.ā The Chief whispered as he led you deeper into the village.Ā
Judging by the relieved smiles on peopleās faces as they spotted you, you knew they were aware that you were here to help them. You smiled back to as many as you could on your way to the main area, in the middle of the village.Ā
The Chief helped you off the horse and when you thanked him he said, āYou can call me Bucky. All my friends do.āĀ
You gave me a smile, āAlright, Bucky.āĀ
He nodded, then pointed at a wooden house, not far from his residence, and said, āI hope youāll be comfortable here.āĀ
One of the ladies was beside you immediately, saying she wanted to help you get settled in. So with one last glance at Bucky, you made your way to your new, temporary home.Ā
ā
The moment he walked into his home, sighing in relief at the feeling of warmth, his two best friends rushed in after him, grinning like they were up to no good. Bucky rolled his eyes at Sam and Steve as he poured wine into three cups.Ā
āWhat?ā He barked at them, handing them their cups before he sat on one of the few stairs that led to his seat. The one he sat on when he had to act as Chief. But when he was with his friends, he didnāt like sitting on it.Ā
āAre we going to address the heated looks you and the witch have been sharing or are we going to pretend nothingās happening here?ā Sam teased, leaning against a nearby table.Ā
Steve chuckled, sitting down near the fire in the middle of the room. āYeah Chief, whatās going on?āĀ
Bucky glared at them both. He loved them to death, would die and kill for them in a heartbeat. But gods, they could be so annoying. āEnough,ā He grumbled as they both laughed shamelessly at him, āSheās our guest. Most of all, we need her to survive this winter. Be respectful.āĀ
Sam smirked and said, āIs that what that was on the ride back? The two of you as close as lovers? Was that you being respectful?āĀ
Steveās laughter echoed around the hall. Bucky wanted to chuck his cup at both of them but he didnāt want to waste the wine so he just rolled his eyes again, āGet out both of you.āĀ
āOh come on, Buck.ā Steve spoke up, āWith her as your wife we would be unstoppable.āĀ
Sam nodded, āExactly.āĀ
āBoth of you, shut up.āĀ
āI mean, she is beautiful. If youāre not interested, I might check out what else her magic can do when-,ā Steve stopped talking the moment Bucky threw his cup at him, wine and all.Ā
Sam choked on his drink and laughed even harder.Ā
Shortly after, Bucky kicked both of them out of his home. He was surprised at how it suddenly got hard to breathe or think the moment Steve even jokingly hinted at getting intimate with you. Bucky felt so protective over you despite having met you just hours ago.Ā
He just wished he could keep that under control for the coming months. You were his guest after all. He couldnāt be inappropriate.Ā
āĀ
He couldnāt sleep that night. The village was quiet, dark. The night was cold given winter was approaching really fast. The next day, he had plans to give you a tour of the village and thinking about spending hours with you was making him nervous. But in a good way. Gods, he was turning into a little boy with a crush. This was bad for his image.Ā
He couldnāt sleep, so he figured a walk might tire him out. So he layered up in his favourite furs, grabbed a torch and stepped outside. It was dark, save for the moonlight. And also light coming from your temporary home.Ā
Bucky was walking towards the wooden house before he even realised it. His hand was knocking against the door before he could talk himself out of it. He should let you rest. He should act like a grown up and walk away right now. Being Chief he shouldāĀ
He stopped functioning the moment you opened the door and looked up at him. Dressed in a beige night dress, a woollen blanket wrapped around your shoulders, and the dimmed light of the torches made you look ethereal just standing there at the door.Ā
You spoke first, āBucky.ā You didnāt sound surprised. You knew he was coming over the moment he stepped out of his home. āItās rather late, is something wrong?ā You couldnāt help but ask. You knew he was coming over, but you didnāt know why. Your magic, fortunately, didnāt allow you to read minds.Ā
Bucky placed the torch on the sconce by the door and cleared his throat, standing proud and tall like one would expect him to. āI saw your lights were still on. I couldnāt help but worry so Iā¦ uh, came to check.ā He paused, awkwardly. āDo youā¦ are you comfortable? Do you need anything?āĀ
You sensed his slight nervousness even without using your magic. You tilted your head to the side and smiled at him, āIām very comfortable. Your people were kind enough toāā You stopped, noticing how foggy his breaths were, āPlease come in,ā You opened the door wider, āItās cold out.āĀ
Bucky accepted the invitation. As soon as he stepped in, you placed your hand on his chest. Bucky blinked and in the fraction of a second, he felt comfortably warm. He gave you a thankful smile.Ā
You smirked playfully and whispered, āMagic.ā Then you moved towards the makeshift kitchen, āTea?āĀ
Bucky grimaced and said, āI donāt like that bitter stuff.ā He mumbled, avoiding eye contact.Ā
You chuckled, āI bet you will like this one.ā You went ahead and made him chamomile tea, with warm milk and a generous dollop of honey.Ā
By the time you brought the mug to him, you found him bent over your little desk. He was looking down at the map you were currently making, your special black ink on special parchment paper.Ā
Bucky whispered his thanks as he took the mug, then said, āYouāre making a map of the village?ā He sounded both amazed and confused. āNo one has been able to make one this accurate. You havenāt evenā¦ ā He paused, āOf course,ā He smirked, āMagic.āĀ
You smiled. āMaps help me control my spells better. Itās enchanted parchment you see,ā You pointed at the map, āI can even work from here with the help of the map.ā You looked back up at him and saw the look of delight on his face as he took his first sip of the tea.Ā
He raised an eyebrow at you, āYou laced this with magic as well?āĀ
You giggled, āNo, just milk and honey.āĀ
Bucky just stared at you with soft eyes. In the dim, golden lights his eyes twinkled like that of a wolf. You stared into them, neither of you spoke. Until he finally blinked, pointed at the map and said, āIt must be incredible, being this talented.āĀ
You couldnāt help but chuckle in a self-deprecating way. āTalent.ā You repeated, looking down at the map. Then quietly said, āI was always taught and told that my magic was a great weapon. But thank you, I guess.āĀ
Without another word said, Bucky placed his half empty mug down and grabbed both of your hands in his large, warm ones. He tugged you closer, gently. Just the slightest bit so he could have your undivided attention.Ā
āYouāre not a weapon. You wonāt ever be one, not here.ā He said, softly. Slowly. āYou are our salvation.āĀ
You had been repaid in many ways throughout your life. Chests filled with gold. Jewels. Feasts and balls thrown in your name. Even a few marriage proposals from influential families. But no one had ever told you that you were their salvation. Something about Bucky saying it, even before you got him and his people through the winter, made you tear up just a little.Ā
His face softened as he wiped that tear away from your cheek with his slightly cold metal arm. āI mean it.ā He whispered. Then he leaned in and kissed you on the cheek, whispering, āYou are so beautiful.ā Then a little closer to your mouth. āSo warm.ā Then finally pressed his lips against yours as his arms wrapped around you, pulling you closer and pressing you against the soft furs he was wearing.Ā
You couldnāt help but moan quietly into the kiss. That made him growl, made him deepen the kiss. His warm hand cradled your face as his metal arm wrapped around your waist. His lips were surprisingly soft, and his kiss was gentle. Sensual. Your hands wandered over his chest. You could feel his heart racing. You could feel him breathing deeper, but refusing to break the kiss.Ā
You gasped in pleasure when his mouth left your lips briefly to kiss along your jaw, making your heart flutter in anticipation. But then, he stopped and pulled away. He was breathless, frowning, his lips wet and pink.Ā
āIā¦ I shouldnāt.ā He licked his lips and you almost moaned again. āYouāreā¦ā He took a deep breath. āYouāre my guest. And you only just got here.ā He shook his head, as if disappointed in himself. āI shouldnāt have pounced on you like an animal like that.āĀ
You fixed the blanket around your shoulders, giving him a playful, though disappointed, smile. āIāve heard a lot of things about you, but no one even mentioned you were such a proper gentleman.āĀ
Bucky cleared his throat, then gave you a heated look that screamed that if he didnāt get out of here right this instant he would surely be pouncing on you again. āI should go.ā He mumbled. āThank you for the tea.āĀ
You nodded, āYouāre very welcome. I will see you tomorrow, for the tour?āĀ
He nodded. Then as he turned to leave, he paused. He turned back around and unwrapped the thick white fur from around his shoulders and placed it on your desk. The tunic he wore was loose around his neck so you could see the ink on his skin peaking through. āKeep this,ā He said, āyou might need it for tomorrow.āĀ
You smirked, understanding what he was playing at. He knew you could keep yourself warm. But he just wanted you to wear something of his while he showed you around tomorrow. He wanted everyone to see you wearing something of his. You had heard of vikings being territorial, and truthfully, you didnāt mind this one bit.Ā
You played along, pretending to be oblivious. āWonāt you be cold then?āĀ
As he stepped out of the door, he turned to look at you. Smirked and said, āI think your magic will keep me warm enough.āĀ
You chuckled as he shut the door behind him, took his torch and left. Who knew the Chief would be such a flirt?Ā
āĀ
Bucky had never been this excited to give someone a tour of his village. He was at your door the next morning, early and ready. He knew you already had a map, but he wanted you to see the place properly.Ā
You caught the approval in his smile when he saw you wearing the fur he left you as you stepped out to join him. He was wearing black furs, and looked just as majestic.Ā
āMy people are delighted that youāre here to save us from the winter,ā He said as the two of you began walking towards the centre of the village, the busiest part he told you. āSo expect a lot of gifts along the way.āĀ
You didnāt know what to expect. And even after politely refusing many, many tokens of thanks from his people, you already had baskets filled with cheese, berries, fresh bread and you were even done with the tour yet. Bucky, of course, carried the baskets for you.Ā
He was in a good mood, you realised. He was showing off a little as he gave you the tour. Showing you all the new warehouses, the new boats that were being built near the beaches, the new houses being made as the number of people grew.Ā
He showed you the hall where himself, Steve, and Sam often trained young kids. They taught them how to fight, to defend. Theyāre vikings, they need to be ready, he said, for anything and everything.Ā
He had a glow on his face as he spoke about the kids, and you couldnāt help but ask, āHow come you donāt have any?āĀ
Bucky gave you a faint smile. Then said, āAfter my father died, I had to take care of everything around here. And I guess I never had time.ā He paused, āI also never found the right person.āĀ
You turned to look at him and he was looking the other way, surely hiding a smirk. You decided to drop the subject.Ā
Bucky led you deeper into the village, near the lake. āIt looks incredible in the summer, butā,ā He stopped talking once the two of you heard male voices shouting. It sounded like it was coming from the lake.Ā
You followed Bucky as he rushed to the lakeside and let out a groan. You chuckled once you saw what he was looking at. His two friends, Steve and Sam, arguing in the water about who pushed who first.Ā
Bucky sighed and said, āI apologise, I wish these two would act like adults.ā Then he yelled at them, āHey! Stop trying to make me look bad. And get out of the water both of you, I canāt have you both freeze to death!āĀ
You watched how the two of them swam towards the shore and eventually got out, trembling.Ā
āGods, I hate you.ā Sam said, shivering.Ā
āYou pushed me!ā Steve argued, shoving Sam.Ā
Sam shoved him back, āYou pushed me!āĀ
āEnough!ā Bucky turned to you and said, āMy useless friends,ā He introduced, āI wish you wouldāve met them in more normal circumstances.āĀ
You laughed, then walked up to the two men. āHello,ā You said and placed your hands on each of their shoulders, your magic would keep them from shivering. And the moment you touched them, they both sighed in relief. āThere, that should keep you warm until you get home.āĀ
You couldnāt help but check them out. They were both muscular and fit, and the way the wet tunics clung to their bodiesā¦ their muscular torsos, and biceps bigger thanāĀ
Bucky cleared his throat and you quickly looked away. You were almost certain Sam and Steve were smirking as they mumbled their goodbyes and hurried home.Ā
āWe should get back.ā Bucky said, his mood immediately turning sour.Ā
When the two of you did head back, he walked you to your home, handed you your baskets full of food and gifts, whispered a brief goodbye and left. You had planned that you would ask him to join you for dinner, as a way of thanking him for the tour. But he was just so grumpy on the way back that you decided not to.Ā
But then you were restless the whole evening. You made yourself a quick dinner and sat by the fire to read but something didnāt feel right.Ā
As it got later, the village got more and more quiet. And dark. When the wolves began howling you knew it was very late, but as you looked through the window, you saw that the lights inside Buckyās home were still lit.Ā
He was awake.Ā
You debated walking over to his place, but then decided not to. You had to get to work the next day and surely youād get a chance to talk to him then.Ā
ā
You visited the crops first, drawing your runes in the dirt. Thatās where you ran into Steve and Sam. They wished to introduce themselves properly, and the three of you began talking. They showed you around for a little while, making you laugh at their jokes and stories of their childhood.Ā
They kept you company while you worked and at some point, you sensed that someone was watching you. You knew who it was before you even turned around.Ā
There was Bucky standing, proud and tall, quite far from the crops. The same broody expression on his face as the day before.Ā
You almost lifted your hand to wave at him but then he walked away.Ā
āWe better leave,ā Steve said with a mischievous smile.Ā
āIām afraid if the Chief sees us around you again he might behead us in public.ā Sam winked at you and then walked away.Ā
So Bucky was jealous.Ā
After you were done with the crops, as you made your way home in the afternoon, you ran in Bucky in the village centre. He was on his way home as well, you realised, so you walked a little faster until you caught up to him.Ā
Once you were beside him, you said, āHello, Bucky.āĀ
āHello.ā He mumbled.Ā
āI worked at the crops today, I drew my runes.ā You told him.Ā
āI know, I saw you earlier.ā He said.
His voice held enough distaste that you couldnāt help but ask calmly, āWhy are you angry at me?āĀ
He threw you a look and mumbled grumpily, āIām not angry. Iām very grateful that youāre here.āĀ
"Then why won't you talk to me?" You asked. "You look like you're angry." You paused, then asked, "Is it because I was talking to your friends?"Ā
He stopped walking immediately. Turned to face you and said, "What were the three of you talking about anyway?"Ā
You had to hide a smirk as you answered, "Nothing in particular. They were just keeping me company." Seeing he still had that broody look on his face you asked, āDoes that bother you?āĀ
He scoffed. "No." He frowned. "Why would it? You're free to talk to whoever you want, you're ourā"Ā
You cut him off, "Guest, yes. I know." You smiled. "Well then, how would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"Ā
Bucky's bright blue eyes stared at you, an unexplainable expression in them. "Another time." He said much to your surprise.Ā
The rest of the walk back was filled with awkward silence.Ā
That night, you were restless. After a quick dinner, you sat by the fire to read but you couldnāt quite get into it. Then you got up and looked through the window and saw that the lights in Buckyās home were still on.Ā
Again. He was awake. This time you didnāt think twice before putting your cloak on and walking to his front door. It was so quiet that you could hear the knocks echoing. Two knocks later, Bucky opened the door.Ā
His braids were undone, yet he looked just as handsome. āItās late.ā He said.Ā
āAlso very cold, you should let me in.ā You said.Ā
Bucky opened the door wider, letting you in before shutting the door.Ā
You walked into his home and took it all in. The place smelled like him, and a little smoky. Probably due to the fire that burned in the middle, keeping the place nice and warm. You saw his seat. His swords and weapons hung on the walls, along with artworks. Furs and rugs scattered on the floor, the place was cosy.Ā
āNice place.ā You commented as you turned to face him. You found him leaning against a nearby wooden column, with a drink in hand.Ā
He gave you a curious look. āSurely you didnāt walk all the way here to comment on my home.ā He said. He looked good. The dim light from the torches made him look like a god. Long brown hair, pretty blue eyes. His tunic was loose now, showing a lot of the ink on his skin. His metal arm caught the light a few times, shining occasionally when he moved.Ā
You felt your heartbeats echoing louder in your ears the more you looked at him. And thenā¦ then he had the audacity to slowly lick his lips.Ā
That did it. You walked up to him, carefully took the cup from his hand and brought it to your lips. You held his stare the whole time. You took a careful sip because whatever it was, it was very strong. Then said, āNo, no I didnāt.āĀ
Bucky gave you a heated look. One that was familiar from the other night when he kissed you. āYou know, itās rude to snatch someoneās drink. Especially the Chief's.āĀ
You smirked at him. āDo something about it then,ā You added mischievously, āChief.āĀ
āOh?ā Buckyās metal arm was around your waist in no time, pulling you into his warm, muscular chest. āNow you want my attention?ā He taunted, his voice deep, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the smirk on your lips. āWhat about when you were shamelessly staring at other men right in front of me? Or what about earlier, when you wereāāĀ
You cut him off with a chuckle. āJust say you are jealous.ā You took another sip from his drink. āAnd if this is how you treat your guests then I think I can imagine why everyone fears you.āĀ
āIām not jealous,ā He mumbled, nuzzling your cheek. āI just donāt like seeing you with other men.ā
You gasped, and almost dropped the cup in surprise as he kissed along your jaw softly, biting you playfully while heās at it. āSo possessive,ā You whispered, āWe only just met.ā You teased.Ā
His grip tightened around your waist before he pulled away to look at you. His blue eyes now dark with desire and longing. āYet I havenāt been able to think about anything other than wanting to have you all to myself ever since I kissed you that night.ā He said.Ā
He looked down at your mouth as he spoke, and it only made your heart race faster. āBuckyā¦ā You werenāt sure what you wanted to say to him, you justā¦ wanted. āPlease.ā You found yourself whispering. Pleading, which you had never done before.Ā
Bucky clenched his jaw and turned, pressing your back into the wooden column he was leaning against earlier. The cup fell to the floor, neither of you paying much attention to it. His metal hand cupped your face and he stared into your eyes as he spoke.Ā
His voice was dangerously low as he spoke, āYou must understand, if we do this thereās no going back.ā He said, looking down at your parted lips. āIf we do this, youāre mine.ā He reiterated, āIf we do this,ā He leaned in to brush his soft lips carefully against yours, making you gasp and whimper, āYou belong to me and only me. Are we clear?āĀ
The rasp in his voice and the feral desire lacing his words already made your brain foggy. āYes,ā You whispered, placing the palms of your hands pressing against his warm chest and partially exposed skin.Ā
He wasted no time in undoing your cloak and letting it fall to the floor and pool around your ankles. Bucky had a devilish smile on his face once he saw that you were wearing nothing beneath the cloak except for flimsy undergarments. Near transparent ones.Ā
Buckyās eager hand trailed up your body, gently, starting from your thigh all the way to your breasts. The warmth of his hand made you shiver in pleasure. āSo this is why you were complaining about being cold?ā He whispered in your ear while his hand ran up and down your sides. āI thought you could manipulate elements to keep yourself warm.ā Your body felt like it was on fire under his touch.Ā
āWell, I can manipulate the elements.ā You said. Bucky pulled away to look into your eyes. āBut thereās nothing quite like body heat.ā He smirked at the sight of the look of mischief in your eyes.Ā
Then he gently tugged on the delicate necklace around your neck, toying with the crystal pendant leisurely as if he had all the time in the world. As if he couldnāt see you squirming under his touch, wanting more.Ā
āItāsā¦ā He frowned at the crystal, now holding it between two metal fingers. āItās moving.ā He whispered, and sounded so genuinely confused that it made you smile. Who knew this tall, muscular, godlike man could be adorable?Ā
You nodded, looking at the crystal. It was clear mostly, except for a greyish, dark, flowy mist moving around inside it. It looked like smoke trapped inside the crystal, but it was just energy. āI was given this by my family the day I left my home when I was a young girl. As a gift. For protection.ā You explained.Ā
You looked up to find him looking down at you with a heated, wild look in his eyes. āIām here now,ā He said. āIāll protect you. Always.ā He pulled you closer, pressing your barely clothed body against him.Ā
You smiled, sliding your hands up until your fingers slid into his soft hair. The light from the burning torches began to dim, making the room slightly darker but still golden. The smirk on Buckyās handsome face signalled that he knew you were messing with the torches.Ā
āI want you,ā You whispered, pressing your lips to his cheek. The slight stubble felt rough against your mouth. But it only made you wonder where else it would feel rough. And you couldnāt help the quiet moan that escaped your mouth.Ā
As if he could read your mind, Bucky chuckled. He grabbed you by the neck, tightening his grip just a little, enough to make you feel warm all over. āI donāt think I could be gentleā¦ā He whispered, his metal hand reaching for the fine dagger he kept on him at all times.Ā
He carefully pressed the tip flat against your lower lip. Your heart began racing faster. Bucky slowly dragged the tip of the dagged down your chin, down the side of your neck, down in between your breasts before he cut the fabric, slicing it in two and letting that fall down to the floor as well. You hissed as the cold air hit your now exposed breasts. Bucky seemed pleased as he let go of your neck, his hand trailing down to fondle with your breast instead. You tipped your head back and moaned at his touch.Ā
He kept the dagger pressed against your skin as he leaned in to kiss your exposed neck, āI donāt want to be gentle.ā He said.Ā
You let out a gasp as he slid the tip of the dagger sideways, circling your nipple with it deliberately slow. āGood,ā You whispered, āI donāt want you to be gentle.āĀ
Bucky chuckled. āOh, youāre perfect.ā He dragged the tip of the dagger down, sliding it slowly across your abdomen, right above the waistband of your undergarments. Over and over again until you were squirming, and gasping, and grinding on nothing.Ā
āPlease,ā You said, looking at him with soft eyes.
Bucky held your stare as he slid the dagger under the fabric of your undergarment and sliced that off of you as well. Fuck that sound of fabric tearing off of your body did something to you.Ā
āPlease,ā You begged again. You were unable to ignore the wetness in between your legs anymore. Neither could he.Ā
Once there was not an inch of fabric shielding you from his hungry stare, Bucky threw the dagger onto the pile of your clothes and next thing you knew, you were being pushed down onto a nearby pile of soft furs.Ā
He pinned you down by your throat, as he hovered above you, leaning over with his metal hand wrapped around your neck firmly while he stared down into your eyes. āYou look so beautiful like this.āĀ
You gave him a smirk and said, āItās your turn. I want to see you.ā You wanted to see the ink on his skin, trace it with your finger. You wanted to see him naked on these furs with you. You had never longed to touch someone like this before.Ā
Bucky held your stare, arrogant grin on his face as he pulled away to take off his tunic and lower his pants.Ā
You let your eyes feast on him. Ink covered more skin than you thought, but it suited him. He looked every bit the fierce Viking he was. You wanted to take your time and admire the artwork on his body butā¦ later. Right now, you wanted him.Ā
You grabbed him by the neck and pulled him closer, pressing your mouth to his and kissing him deeply. āI want you,ā You whispered again.Ā
āI know, sweetheart,ā Buckyās hand was back around your throat as he growled into the kiss, āI know.āĀ
Guess he could take his time and caress every inch of you like he wanted to later, right now though, he needed to have you. He was hungry for it. So he pulled away from the kiss, parted your legs and slid a finger inside you, reassuring himself that you were ready for him.Ā
Bucky groaned when he found that you were dripping for him. āAll that for me?ā He teased, settling in between your legs and pressing the tip of his cock against you. You gasped and whined as he slid the tip of it up and down your slit.Ā
āPlease,ā You begged, whining. āHurry up or I swear to gods I will make sure your house is always freezing throughout winter.āĀ
Bucky couldnāt help but laugh, leaning down to press a kiss on your forehead. āNo need for all that, little witch.ā He whispered as he pushed his cock into you, stretching you out in a way that made it hard for you to even think about anything else.Ā
āDo I feel good inside you?ā He questioned, teasing and knowing full well you werenāt in a headspace to answer him. His hand was around your throat and his cock buried so deep inside of you that he knew you couldnāt even think straight.Ā
And fuck did he feel good snug inside you. You just whimpered in response, staring up into his pretty blue eyes. āMore,ā You whispered, āI want more.āĀ
He smirked, digging his knees into the furs before he pulled out and pushed back into you. He set a hard and fast pace that made your head spin with pleasure. He was just as passionate as you expected him to be, his kisses were messy and his grip on your body was tight. He growled and moaned against your mouth as he sped up into you.Ā
You were a moaning mess under him. Your legs locked around his waist as he pounded into you, āYou feel so good,ā He said, āLook at you, all wet and open for me.ā He slowed down for just a moment, looking down to where his cock disappeared into you each time he thrust it. āIs this what you wanted? Hmm?ā He asked, slow fucking you until you felt a tear escape your eye.Ā
Fuck, he was keeping you right on that edge. It drove you mad.Ā
āTell me, sweetheart.ā He kissed along your jaw, nibbling on your skin. āWhen you walked all the way here tonight, wearing basically nothing as you knocked on my door in the middle of the night,ā He chuckled, āIs this what you wanted? To be full of my cock?āĀ
You nodded, more tears falling down. It was so good, almost overwhelming. His words, his deep voice, the heated look in his eyes as he fucked you slowly, his weight on top of you, his warmthā¦Ā
āYes,ā You whispered, āItās all I wanted.āĀ
Bucky sped up again, taking you by surprise and you couldnāt help the sinful moans that escaped your lips. He released your throat and placed his hand on your abdomen instead, pressing down on your front so he can feel himself inside you with each thrust. āWell there you go,ā He said, as if taunting you, āHere I am. Deep inside you.ā He stared into your eyes while he sped up into you again. āJust how you wanted.āĀ
You whimpered desperately as he fucked you deeper. You felt your walls clenching around him. You felt the familiar feeling, the pressure down there just waitingā¦ waiting to explode. Your back arched off the furs as he brought you right to the edge again before slowing down. It was brutal.Ā Ā
You gasped in shock, and the now ruined orgasm. Bucky smirked. āThatās punishment,ā He said, āFor talking to other men right in front of me.āĀ
You frowned, āYouāre cruel.āĀ
Bucky kissed you one more time before he flipped you around and pulled you onto your knees and pushed into you again from behind. You moaned out loud, not expecting that but welcoming the feeling of being full again.Ā
You laid your cheek down on the furs, the softness of them a stark contrast to how rough Bucky was being, handling your body like you were just a toy. It made you smile in pure bliss as he gripped your hips and slammed in and out of you incessantly, sighing and groaning in the process.Ā
More tears escaped your eyes as the pleasure became too much to handle. You felt the pressure at your core forming again as Bucky pounded into you mercilessly, fucking you like an animal. Bending and contorting your body however he liked. Pressing your head down as he sped up into you until you came, crying out loud and clenching around him so hard it took him everything not to finish inside you.Ā
He quickly pulled out and came all over your lower back and thighs. He took a moment to admire all the marks heād left on your skin before pulling you into his arms as he laid down beside you.Ā
You placed your ear right above his heart, listening to it gradually calm down like yours did. Only then did you have enough energy to keep your eyes open and admire the ink on his skin. You traced the closest one with a finger.Ā
āA dragon?ā You asked.Ā
Bucky chuckled softly. āI like to think they might have been real at some point.āĀ
You pulled away, holding yourself up using your elbow. You looked down at Bucky and said, āOf course they were. They were magical beings, they got along well with witches and warlocks in fact.āĀ
Bucky looked pleasantly surprised. āYou are so full of secrets.ā He said, lifting a finger up to your face and gently traced the shape of your mouth. āTell me more,ā He pulled you back into his arms, nuzzling your neck and making you laugh, āWhat happened to the dragons?āĀ
āĀ
Sleeping in each otherās beds became part of the routine.Ā
Some nights he would come over after the village had gone dark and quiet. Other nights youād go over to his place and stay till early morning.Ā
Nobody knew about you and Bucky, except for Steve and Sam who couldnāt stop grinning like mischievous devils each time they ran into you.Ā
Days passed this way. The weather got colder, and you kept the village in perfect shape. The rivers kept flowing even though they should be frozen. The lake as well. The crops stayed healthy. As did the cattle.
Your magic had created an invisible dome over the entirety of the village. A vast dome that only you could see.Ā
The people were safe from the intense cold and they were warm, fed, and happy.Ā
But doing all that always made you extremely tired. Usually youād hide it well behind faint smiles and blame it on it being a long day. But even at night you had to use your magic to keep the dome intact. And although you did your best to hide it, sometimes your weariness would show.Ā
Like the one time when Bucky caught you by the lakeside late at night.Ā
You were sitting on the jetty, looking down at the dark water. The moonlight made the surface shine, and just beyond the lake, right where the dome ended, you could see the harsh winds of the blizzard that you were currently keeping away from Buckyās people. But from within the dome, no one could even hear it.Ā
And just when you thought of Bucky, you heard him walking on the jetty and on his way to you.Ā
āI looked for you everywhere.ā He said, sitting down next to you on the edge. āAre you alright? You never come here this late.ā He sounded genuinely concerned.Ā
You smiled at him, his pretty face glowing under the moonlight. Then you pointed at the blizzard, and Bucky swore under his breath when he saw what was happening beyond the dome, āI came to make sure everything was safe.ā You said. āI had to draw some of the runes again.ā Then you added, āEverythingās fine, donāt worry.āĀ
Bucky loosened the furs around his shoulders and opened his arms for you to snuggle up to him.Ā
You gave him a smirk as you slowly scooted closer to him, āI can keep myself warm, remember?āĀ
āYeah, but thereās nothing quite like body heat.ā He teased, wrapping his arms and the furs around you, holding you close to him. He leaned down and kissed your cheek softly then said, āYou seem tired. I didnāt realise magic would take such a toll on you.ā He sounded a little embarrassed.Ā
āHey,ā You placed a gentle hand on his rough cheek. āThis is how it is. Magic has a cost, it feeds on my energy and thatās just how it works. I should be okay after a few hours of sleep.ā You smiled up at him. āCan I ask about the arm?āĀ
He smiled, tapped you on the nose with his metal finger and said, āBravery has a cost, my lady.ā You laughed, and he eventually told you the story. And by the time he was done, he noticed you were just about to fall asleep. āHey, come on. Letās go to bed.āĀ
You let him help you stand up and said, āIām tired tonight, maybeā,āĀ
He cut you off. āThatās not what I meant.ā He pulled you closer and kissed you gently, āI wonāt do anything, I just want you in bed with me. Youāre doing so much for us, let me take care of you and do what I can.ā He added, pressing another kiss on your lips, āPlease.āĀ
You smiled and gave in.Ā
And turns out, sleeping in his bed, in his arms was enough to recharge you.Ā
āĀ
One day, a messenger came with urgent news for Bucky.Ā
A little far from this village was another one, and the news said that their Chief had died leaving behind no one to care for the people. Since Bucky was the closest, they were begging him to help them last this icy winter.Ā
Bucky held a meeting with his inner circle ā his friends, and now you as well. Everyone gathered near the fire in the middle of Buckyās home. Outside, the weather was getting colder. Your magic kept everyone here comfortable but those people who had asked for helpā¦ they wouldnāt last long.Ā
āWe canāt help them.ā Bucky said, surprising everyone in the room.Ā
Tony, the one who created weapons for every warrior in the village and also part of Buckyās inner circle, spoke up first, āWhat do you mean here, Chief? Those people will die.āĀ
Steve nodded, agreeing, āThere are children, cold and starving. We canāt leave them.āĀ
āThink about it,ā Sam said, āWe could have more people in our army to fight for us, with us.āĀ
Bucky stopped his slow pacing, then turned to all of you. āHow are we going to care for these people? I mean, I guess weāll have enough food for everyone but what about shelter?āĀ
Peter, Tonyās apprentice, spoke up this time, āWe have enough material to build houses. I mean, we could always pause on the boats for now and use those materials for houses. Youāll have to go bring the people over anyway, and by the time youāll be back I suppose we could have houses ready by then.ā He looked over to Tony for approval. The latter nodded in agreement.Ā
āThat will cost too much.ā Bucky said. Then sighed. āI have to care for the people here.āĀ
You spoke up this time, āI could help.ā You said. āI have more gold than I could ever use. And I could help with the building, andā,āĀ
Bucky cut you off gently, āNo, I cannot ask you for all that. Youāre already helping us, and this wasnāt part of our arrangement.ā He paused for a moment, only the crackling logs filled the silence, āBesides, Iāve seen what using magic constantly does to you.āĀ
You rolled your eyes, āThatās just how it works,ā You repeated. āItās like when you complain about being tired after a whole day of training. Doesnāt mean you wonāt ever train again.ā You reasoned. āAnd as for our arrangement, I agreed to help. So let me.āĀ
Bucky sighed again, walking over to you as if the rest of the people in the room didnāt exist. Honestly, the moment you stared into his clear blue eyes, it didnāt matter who else was in the room.Ā
āItāll wear you out.ā He said softly, almost in a whisper.Ā
You gave him a faint smile, āGuess youāll just have to take better care of me then.āĀ
He was about to reach out and cup your face in his hands but then Steve, Sam, and Tony all cleared their throats to get your attention back on the current issue. You avoided all their eyes awkwardly while Bucky smirked shamelessly. Peter just seemed confused.Ā
āFine,ā Bucky said. āWeāll bring the people. Weāll take the boats.ā He announced. āWe leave today itself.ā Then he proceeded to assign the work of building additional houses over to Tony and Peter. Sam and Steve, along with other warriors, were going with Bucky.Ā
Then the men left, Tony and Peter went to gather people to help them start building immediately and Sam and Steve went to get the other warriors to prepare for their journey. Once they were out of the house, Bucky pulled you close.Ā
āThat was generous of you.ā He said, nuzzling your neck and kissing it. āIāll be gone for two weeks at least, you know?ā He said. āIāll miss you.ā His lips brushed along your neck, stopping at the corner of your mouth, āIāll miss this.ā His arms tightened around you, making you gasp.Ā
āIāll miss you too,ā You said, pulling away to look at him. āThe sea will be rough,ā You said, āTake this.ā You took the crystal necklace off of your neck and put it around his, hiding it under the layers he wore. āThat should keep you safe.ā Then you looked around and said, āYou should start packing your things. My magic wonāt work given the distance so youāll need more furs to keep you warm.āĀ
He looked at you with soft eyes. āUsually no one fusses over me like this.ā He said, āI like it. I like it a lot.āĀ
You smiled and gave him a quick kiss. āNow hurry up. Those people need you.āĀ
āHmm,ā He leaned down for a kiss again. āIf anyone touches you while Iām gone I will behead them.ā He said, half-joking. āOne more thing, I want you to stay here while Iām gone.ā He said, referring to his house. āSleep in my bed every night. Oh and think of me. Miss me. A lot.āĀ
You laughed. āUnderstood, Chief.āĀ
āĀ
You went to see Bucky off when he left later that evening. He looked like a King and his armada, setting off for battle.Ā
He was barely out of your sight and you missed him already. You whispered a prayer to the strong winter winds, telling them to keep him safe until he comes back.Ā
ā
For the entirety of the two weeks which followed, you worked harder than ever. The dome, the crops, the cattle, the rivers and lake, and now the construction. Your magic fortified the wood used for the new houses, all the gold you had accumulated over the years helped the village immensely.Ā
The people were so grateful. And you did your best to keep their spirits up while their Chief was gone.Ā
It made you feel all warm inside whenever people would gush about how incredible of a leader Bucky was. You wondered if he knew his people loved him so much. Then, almost always, quickly followed by that warm fuzzy feeling was intense worry.Ā
You never had anyone to worry about this much. So this was new for you.Ā
By the end of the second week, each morning youād wake up and go by the beach to see if you could see the ships coming. They didnāt.Ā
You slept in his bed like he wanted you to. And that just made things worse. Because now not only did you worry about him, but you missed him like a mad woman. His scent was all over the bed and the covers.Ā
But then one morning, as you went to the beach to check, you saw them. The ships, tiny little dots near the horizon. They were coming back. He was coming back.Ā
Great timing in fact because the houses were just done building as well. And the crops had just been harvested.Ā
Some hours later, the ships docked. And the new people had arrived, with their entire lives packed into trunks. While everyone showed the new ones to their houses, you looked for Bucky. You couldnāt even hide the smile on your face as you spotted him, running to him.Ā
Bucky smiled as you ran into his open arms, hugging him tightly. You didnāt see the approving smiles on the faces of people around you, all you cared about was that Bucky was here, safely.Ā
āHello to you too, sweetheart,ā He whispered, kissing your forehead. āIāve missed you.āĀ
You pulled away to look up at him. āYouāre back.ā You whispered, delighted.Ā
He cupped your face and leaned down to press his forehead against yours, sighing. āI wish I could take you to bed and show you how much I missed you, butā¦āĀ
āLater,ā You finished his sentence. āThereās a lot of work to be done right now.āĀ
He nodded. Then you felt something moving near your ankles, getting tangled up in your flowy cloak. You looked down and saw a small ball of white fur. Bucky chuckled as you bent down to pick it up.Ā
āThe mother and the rest of the litter didnāt survive the cold,ā He said, āBut I found this little guy as we were evacuating the village. He was hiding under a pile of hay, all hungry and trembling. And I thought, who else would take better care of him than a certain generous witch I know?ā He explained, a little flustered, āSo I brought him along. For you.āĀ Ā
You looked at the fluffy, white wolf pup in your hands. You already loved him with all your heart. Then you looked up at Bucky again, āThank you. I love him.ā You said, kissing him on the cheek, āAnd thank you for not leaving him behind.āĀ
He smiled, āOh well,ā He looked around to see his people helping their new guests get off the boats, offering to carry their luggage for them. He looked beyond proud. āWhatās one more addition to our village?ā He shrugged, smiling at you.Ā
ā
It took some hours, but by nightfall everyone had a bed to sleep in and roof over their heads. Bucky was so pleased he insisted they celebrated this feat. Plus he wanted the new members to feel welcomed and comfortable so he held a feast.Ā
Food and ale makes everyone feel at home, he said.Ā
So the feast was held. The village centre quickly became a vibrant, bustling scene. And the music was the best part. You had travelled to so many places but you had never heard such rich music and singing.Ā
As you walked around, enjoying the atmosphere, everyone thanked you for your help. Usually by this time well into winter, food was always scarce. But with you and your magic here, everyone was happy and their bellies were full.Ā
You caught Buckyās stare from across the crowds of people a lot of times. His heated stare that held promises which made your face feel all hot and made your body tingle. But he was busy catching up with his people right now, he made sure to speak with each and everyone of the new members of his village, he spoke with the kids and promised them that they would be restarting training soon. He even held some of the babies that had been born while he was away.Ā
And you watched him with fondness. Watched how he smiled, watched how he let the kids mess with and admire his metal arm, watched how gentle and kind he could be, as well as how stern and assertive.Ā
And then he caught you staring. He smirked at you while you pretended that your entire being didnāt come alive under his attention. You tried to hide the way you clenched your thighs together as he began walking over to you, finally.Ā
The music rose to a crescendo as he made his way to you. Tall, strong, with a confident and slightly arrogant gait. He stopped when he was right in front of you, the lit torches made his skin look golden, and his eyesā¦ oh his eyes.Ā
His metal head reached out to touch your face, slowly caressing your warm cheek. āDid you get a chance to eat?ā He asked.Ā
You nodded, lost in his eyes. You didnāt even remember what you ate, if he asked you you wouldnāt know.Ā
āGood. Then letās go.ā There was enough raw desire in his voice that it made you move immediately.Ā
As you walked you asked, āWonāt they notice youāre gone?ā You referred to the ongoing festivities.Ā
Bucky smirked as he took your hand in his, the two of you making your way through the dark, to his place. āJudging by the way you threw yourself into my arms earlier, I think they expected us both to disappear at some point.āĀ
After the short walk, you could still hear the music from the feast even after making your way into Buckyās home. You could hear some vocalising, and it soundedā¦ magical. Raw. Intense. Much like the look in Buckyās eyes.Ā
āI see you did sleep here.ā He noted, appreciating that you did as heād asked.Ā
You took your cloak off near the fire and then followed Bucky into the sleeping area. āIt was the closest I could get to you while you were gone.ā You whispered, taking the layers of fur off of him. You carefully placed it down and began undoing his tunic. āYour bed smells like you.ā You said, āSome nights I couldnāt sleep until I made myself come while pretending it was your hand touching me.āĀ
A sound resembling a growl left his mouth as he grabbed both of your wrists in one hand, ceasing your movement. āShow me.ā He said, low and deep, āShow me what I missed.āĀ
A sly smirk formed on your lips, āSure you donāt want to do it yourself?āĀ
He shook his head. āI want to see.āĀ
You turned and gave him your back, āUndress me then.ā You expected him to undo the laces and buttons. But no. You felt something cold against the nape of your neck, and then the sound of fabric being ripped filled the room.Ā
You gasped in pleasant surprise. Heād torn your dress off instead. With the dagger. You let the ruined dress fall to the ground and faced him again, naked because you hadnāt been wearing any undergarments, āThat was one of my favourites.ā You said, looking into his lust-drunk, hooded eyes.Ā
āI donāt care.ā He answered, truthfully. Stepping closer he raised the dagger up under your chin, pressing it gently against your skin. āIf it were up to me, Iād keep you naked in this bed at all times.āĀ
You giggled.Ā
āHurry up,ā He said, āShow me.ā His voice was a mere whisper.Ā
You could still hear the music and the singing in the background as you held his stare and laid down on his soft bed, on your back. He stood at the end of the bed looking down at you like an old god looking at a sacrifice. With hunger in his eyes like youād never seen before.Ā
He watched as if in trance, as you bent your knees and spread your legs. His breaths got deeper as he watched how wet you were, your finger slowly sliding up and down your slit. He inched just a little closer as you began gasping and whimpering, your finger slipping in and out of you.Ā
Your other hand toyed with your nipple, twisting and tugging. You held his dark stare as you moaned, back arching off the bed, the slightly chilly air hit your bare chest and caused your nipples to erect even further.Ā
āOh godsā¦ā Bucky whispered, watching as you put on a show. Watching as you whined in pleasure as the pace at which your fingers effortlessly slipped in and out of you increased. You looked down and saw the bulge in his pants. He was barely holding back.Ā
The way he watched you, the feeling of anticipation knowing he would fill you up soon, all of it made your heart race. Outside, the music rose to a crescendo again and you moaned louder, fingering yourself faster, the palm of your hands rubbing against your sensitive clit over and over again as your middle finger slipped in and out of you.Ā
You gasped, āBuckyā¦ā You moaned quietly under your breath, imagining it was his fingers that were touching you instead of your own. āI need youā¦ā you mumbled in the haze that you were in, āPleaseā¦ I need you.āĀ
He wasted no time in grabbing you by the thighs and dragging you to the edge of the bed as he knelt to the ground. He placed your legs over his shoulders and leaned down to kiss your belly. He was rock hard, barely able to think straight. But fuck he needed to hear you moan as you came.Ā
āI fucking missed you,ā He mumbled as he kissed around where your shaky fingers were buried in your wet cunt. āLet me taste you.ā He whispered before gently slipping your fingers out of your hole and into his mouth. He sucked on them like theyād just been dipped in the sweetest honey.Ā
āOh fuckā¦ā You moaned, looking at him. The great Chief, kneeling in between your legs, sucking your taste off your fingersā¦ it was heady. āPlease,ā You murmured again when you noticed that he was teasing you, keeping you waiting on purpose.Ā
He let go of your fingers, smirking as he looked up at you. āIāve been wanting to taste you.ā He whispered, his warm breath making you squirm. Chuckling at your restlessness, he parted your folds and buried his mouth in between them, eating you out like he was a starving man and moaning at your taste.Ā
Relentlessly, passionately. His warm mouth wrapped around your clit and sucked on it occasionally. His tongue teased your entrance as he took his time to feast in between your legs.Ā
Your fingers slid into his hair, it had gotten slightly longer you realised as you grabbed a fistful of it, tugging on it gently as his mouth teased you.Ā
āSo this is what you did, huh? While I was away, rescuing people and fighting rough seasā¦ā His tongue slowly circled around your clit and he earned more and more moans out of you. āYou were here, touching yourself.āĀ
Your legs trembled as he locked his arms around your thighs and pushed your core further into his mouth and made you cry out of pleasure. You whined. āPlease, Buckyā¦āĀ
He chuckled, darkly. āNo.ā He pulled away, licking his lips. āNot so easily.āĀ
He stood up, got rid of all his clothes before climbing into bed with you. His glorious, inked, naked body hovered above yours as he looked down at you with nothing but fondness and desire in his eyes. You looked down, whimpering at the sight of him stroking his hard cock, it was leaking already.Ā
Bucky looked down at you and smiled before leaning in for a kiss again. He nibbled along your skin, from your mouth to your neck, āAre you ready for me, sweetheart?āĀ
You cried out, āYes! Please, Buckā,āĀ
He cut you off by sliding into you, filling you up. You gasped as your walls welcomed him perfectly and he growled under his breath as he filled you up entirely. āLook at me,ā He said. When you did, he smiled and laced your fingers together and pinned both your hands above your head as he sped up into you. āFuck,ā He swore, āYou feel like you were made for me.āĀ
Your eyes rolled to the back of your head once he started rocking in and out of you with your legs locked behind his back. He leaned in and kissed your lips again, groaning and panting against your lips as he fucked you hard and fast.Ā
The music outside felt like it echoed inside your head. It made your heart race, like a soundtrack to this ethereal union.Ā
āTell me you belong to me,ā He whispered, lips brushing against yours as his cock stroked your inner walls perfectly. āTell me youāre mine.āĀ
āIāmā¦ Iām yours,ā You said, breathlessly.Ā
āThatās right,ā He breathed against your mouth. āAll fucking mine.ā He repeated, kissing along your skin and moaning into your ear, āFuck, you feel so good.ā He said as he sped up again, fucking you nice and deep to show you that you belong to him. āCome for me,ā He said, knowing he wouldnāt last too long, āCome on sweetheart, come for me.āĀ
You cried out as you did, coming undone as he kept pounding into you until he finished inside you. Bucky nuzzled your neck, kissing your skin as he caught his breath. You wrapped your arms around him lazily, feeling his heart racing just as fast as yours was.Ā
He sighed in bliss as he finally laid down beside you, taking you with him so more than half of your body was on top of his. He kissed the top of your head and whispered, āI missed you like a madman.āĀ
You smiled, kissing his damp skin as you replied, āI did too. It feltā¦ empty without you.ā You lifted your head up to look at him. āYour hair is longer.ā You pointed out.Ā
Bucky chuckled, āYou like it?āĀ
You nodded, āIt suits you.āĀ
He smiled, caressing your cheek again. āI like you in my bed.ā He murmured.Ā
You smirked, lifting yourself up to straddle him properly. You grabbed his semi hard cock and slid it inside you again, gasping as it went in easily. Bucky groaned in pleasure, his hands holding you by the waist, ready to lift you up and down his cock.Ā
āI really like me in your bed too.ā You said, and began riding him until you both came once more.
ā
And so, winter passed by.Ā
You kept everyone safe and warm. Your bond with Bucky was not a secret anymore given you were always seen together. Judging by the smiles on peopleās faces when they saw the two of you together, youād say they were more than happy for Bucky.Ā
You spent more time in Buckyās house than the one you were assigned when you first got here that Bucky suggested you move in, and let someone else have the other home.Ā
āI like having you in my home.ā He said one night as he pulled your worn out, bare body into his. He kissed your shoulder, and made sure you were properly warm under the soft furs, in his bed. āCome live with me.āĀ
So you moved in.Ā
Your days started and ended with Bucky. With his soft, loving, often demanding touch. His merciless and passionate kisses. And you wouldnāt trade it for anything.Ā
He was a stern, just, and caring chief to the rest of the village but only you saw the softer side of him.Ā
The way some evenings he would lay his head in your lap and grumble until you played with his hair until he fell asleep.Ā
Or how much he loved it when you braided his hair, heād wear it proudly.Ā
Or how he always gave you the best bites of food when you dined together.Ā
The way he would always make sure you had enough fur and blankets on your side of the bed at night.Ā
Or how heād always accompany you when you took your little wolf for walks in the woods.Ā
Or how heād often tempt you into going for midnight swims with him at the lake. How heād kiss you under the moonlight, smiling like a lovesick young boy instead of the great chief he was.Ā
During those moments, you often wanted to freeze time and just stay with him forever.Ā
Foreverā¦ but that wasnāt possible, was it?Ā
ā
The weather, naturally, didnāt stay freezing cold. It got warmer, and warmer as winter faded into a gentle, barely there spring.Ā
Your little wolf grew, and kept growing. Time, you realised, moved and with it came time to say goodbye.Ā
Winter was nearly over. Everyone knew, everyone could see it. But nobody said anything. You were still greeted with the same grateful smiles and infinite gifts whenever you stepped out. Steve and Sam never mentioned it, they kept filling your days with stories of their youth and more laughter.Ā
Bucky, it seemed, had forgotten all about what the end of winter meant.Ā
And it hurt you more than you thought it would when it came time to confront him about it. It took you two days to build the courage to break both of your hearts. You didnāt want to leave, but you had to, didnāt you?Ā
He was home early that evening, in a good mood too. As soon as you opened your mouth to say something though, he announced, āIām going for a swim, come with me?āĀ
You shook your head. āI donāt feel like it. You go ahead.āĀ
He smiled, kissed your forehead and left. The sunset as soon as he was out of the door. Heād been going on a lot of swims lately, which again indicated that the weather was getting warmer.Ā
You waited for him to get back. Your heart breaking in the meantime.Ā
ā
āWe need to, um, talk.ā You said, once heād put on clean, dry clothes again. You watched as he dried his hair with a piece of fabric as he turned to face you.Ā
The buttons of his tunic undone with the tattoos on his chest peeking through, his hair was a damp mess, his blue eyes shining. He was so beautiful. So beautiful it hurt.Ā
āWhat about, sweetheart?ā He tossed the fabric aside and placed his hands on either side of your waist. āEverything okay?āĀ
You looked up at him. Didnāt he notice? Couldnāt he see you were wearing the same cloak you wore the day he met you? Couldnāt see you were ready to leave? You spoke with tears in your eyes, āWinter is nearly over, Bucky.ā You whispered in a shaky voice.Ā
Silence. Only the few nearby torches. And the crickets outside.Ā
Bucky clenched and unclenched his jaw. You could see it through the stubble on his cheeks. āWhat do you mean?āĀ
He knew what you meant. You could tell. He was just giving you a chance to rectify what you said. But you didnāt. Instead you said, āWinter is over, itās time for me to go.ā The tears fell. Hot and burning, much like the tension between the two of you even after all these months.Ā
Bucky was quiet, then he let out a humourless chuckle. āWhat are you saying? You want to leave me?āĀ
You sighed as he made this difficult for both of you. āYou know what I mean. We had a deal, remember?ā You swallowed a sob. āWeā,āĀ
āI swear to gods,ā He cut you off, pulling you closer and growling, āDo not fucking test me right now.āĀ
More tears fell down your face. āBuckyā¦ā You whispered. āI canāt stay here. You know that. Itās what I do, I help people. Itās what Iām meant to do with thisā¦ā You sighed, āThis magic.āĀ
āWho said that?ā He argued. āWho said you couldnāt choose what made you happy? Who said you had to keep wandering? Huh?ā He leaned closer, the tip of his nose touching yours, āWho said you canāt stop once you found a home? A real one?ā He gently kissed the corner of your mouth. āYou have a home here, you have me. Stay.āĀ
You breathed in the manly scent of him. Felt the roughness of his stubble against your skin. Felt his body heat. Why couldnāt you stop? Because it scared you. āI canāt.ā You mumbled, even as your heart screamed stay, stay, stay.Ā
Bucky pulled away. His face was stone cold. Emotionless. His hands left your waist and clenched into fists as he stared at you. As Chief, he wasnāt used to people disobeying him.Ā
āFine then,ā He spoke with a bitter voice. āYou want to leave? Then Iāll follow. And my people will follow me no matter where I go.ā He spoke with a confidence that only a true leader can have. āSo wherever you go, youāll find me behind you. And a whole village behind me. Is that what you want?ā You could hear the stubbornness in his voice, the determination. The promise.Ā
āYou canāt.ā You reasoned. āYou have a duty here, Bucky. My work here is done, I lifted the dome yesterday and no one even noticed. That just goes to show Iām not needed here. You have a life here,ā You said, āNot me.ā More tears streamed down your face. Your mind and heart were screaming in contradiction.Ā
Bucky just stared at you, his heart slowly breaking. Then he said, calmly but fiercely, āI have nothing without you. Nothing.ā He stepped closer to you again, āYou made me feel alive again, you made me feel like I was more than just a chief, like I was a man again. Just a man who is madly in love with the woman of his dreams.ā His words made you weak. āYouāreā¦ everything. Donāt leave me.ā He pleaded, quietly.Ā
You couldnāt help but hide your face in his chest as you sobbed. He cradled your head, kissing the top of it.Ā
āI will send word.ā He said, as you sobbed quietly.

So you want to write about horses.
Specifically, you want to write about horses in your medieval-inspired fantasy novel, rpg, or daydream fantasy. Knights in shinning armor on noble steeds, damsels in distress(or not!) on fine prancing mount, or an evil sorcerer cackling on a fierce charger above your poor tandem MCs.
Whatever it is you're imagining, a medieval horse appears. But you know nothing about horses. I can help.
(If you would like to begin with my first basic Basics post, start here)
^ When thinking knight, you're probably imagining a horse like this.
Preface: When talking about fiction, there is always a question of historical accuracy. That is wholly up to you. But you will at least, after reading this, know more of the historical fact involving horses, and certainly know about some of the more commonly-complained about fallacies involving horses in media.
Now, the above still is from the film Ladyhawke (1985), which is often credited for popularizing the Friesian breed in the United States. I can almost guarantee you have see a Friesian in a film or on TV. The recent series Shadow and Bone had a central character ride a Friesian in one episode. They epitomize the romantic nobility and grace of knights. Except they don't.
The horse you see above came into existence in 1879, primarily as a harness and agricultural use horse. Horses known as Friesian horses have existed since the 11th century, but those horses were completely different from the breed created in the 19th century. The modern Friesian is a trotting breed, made to pull carriages and look beautiful doing it. They have a long back, short neck, and due to inbreeding, a host of nasty genetic problems including dwarfism, aortic rupture, hydrocephalus, and megaesophagus.
However, breeds that trace ancestry back to beyond the middle ages do exist, and they have been breed to look much the same for generations. Introducing:
The Barb/Berber Horse
^Kinda just looks like A Horseļæ½ļæ½
The Barb comes from North Africa, and was spread into Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain, where the breed mixed with the native Andalusian breed to create the Spanish Jennet, which is possibly the most widely successful horse breed in all of history. The Jennet is currently extinct*, but due to its durability, it was the horse used by the Spanish AND the British to invade the Americas, and descendants of the Jennet survive in local breeds from Argentina to Canada.
*a revitalization breed does exist of the same name
The Andalusian/Lusitano/Pure Raza Espanol
^The true Fabio of horses, known for thick flowing locks and sweet dispositions
Possibly the horse that most strongly resembles the ancient knighly horse, this noble creature used to be the preferred horse of film, before the Friesian rise in popularity. Horses of Spanish bloodlines are Andalusian, horses of Portuguese bloodlines are Lusitano, but the characteristics of both breeds are nearly identical. They are also known for a fancy 'high stepping' movement, in which they raise their knees higher than other breeds naturally.
The Arabian
^Note the narrow, 'dished' face and raised tail, breed characteristics
The ancient horse of the desert, made famous through books such as The Black Stallion, King of the Wind, and films such as Hildago. These horses are known for their stamina and intelligence, and were traditionally used as war horses by the desert tribes of the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian has descendants in almost all modern breeds, as it is used to add strength and stamina to the original stock, despite being a relatively small horse. During the Napoleonic wars, this horse became the prized war horse of Europe as well, with Napoleon himself preferring to ride Arabians into battle.
The Mongolian Horse
^Thick head, thick body, this horse is made to survive winter on the steppes
Introduced to Europe from the Hunnic invasions that ended the rule of Rome, the Mongolian horse is made to survive, thrive, and run in harsh cold weather. This horse allowed Ghengis Khan and his soldiers to conqure one of the largest empires to ever exist, from Korea to Poland. This compact horse would have mixed with the native stock of Russian, Eastern European, and Germanic tribes to help create the ancient northern horses, resulting in a thicker breed of horse in the north, and a lighter breed of horse in the south of Europe. Modern-day pony breeds such as the Exmoor, Fjord, Icelandic, and other have been found to have genetic ties to the Mongolian horse.
These horses do not exactly look like the modern image of knights on massive horses, but it is useful to remember that 1. people back then were a lot smaller and 2. horses back then were a lot smaller. Of course, there were hundreds of other local breeds during the middle ages, but many have been modernized and become today's sport, work, or pleasure horses.
During the middle ages, horses were not actually defined by breed. They were defined by the work the horse was suited and trained to preform. There were five main types of medieval horses.
The Destrier
Also called The Great Horse for its size, strength, and price, this horse was the renown mount of knights and kings in battle. These horses were highly trained for battle, and could be taught to do such things as striking out at soldiers in front, kicking at soldiers from the back, and even leaping all four feet in the air to protect it's rider. They would wear the most armor, and these horses would likely be closest in appearance to the modern Andalusian.
^Ornate heavy armor on a model horse. This armor was made for a horse not much more than 15hh, what today would be a small horse.
The Courser/The Charger
A lighter horse than the destrier, the courser is also a warhorse, highly trained and well-bred, but a little less expensive. A knight might not be able to afford a destrier, especially as a minor knight, but every knight should have a courser. The Spanish Jennet is the epitome of the medieval courser, and in fact was the horse used by Richard II. According to Shakespeare, the horse's name was White Surrey, although other sources claim the horse was Roan Barbary, and was a Barb or Berber horse*.
*Bought from Spain and likely a cross of Spanish and African blood, so a Jennet. But Jennet was also a classification of a horse type in those days, so, sources are muddled.
The Rouncey
The 'average' horse of the time, this horse was used mainly for riding, but could sometimes be ridden into battle if trained properly, and were the preferred horse for lower-class fighters such as archers or men-at-arms. As it described a riding horse, these horses came in all shapes and sizes, from all lineages, and in all colors. In peacetime they could be used to draw carriages or work fields. A proud and expensive destrier would never be caught pulling a plow.
The Palfrey
A highly-bred, highly trained horse, this horse is a high quality riding horse known for a specific gait, called an ambling gait. This horse had a special pattern of moving its feet that gave the rider a considerably more comfortable ride than the traditional 4 gaited horse. After the middle ages, these horses almost disappeared, only to be recovered in the Americas in the form of 'gaited' horses such as the Paso Fino, the Rocky Mountain Horse, the Missouri Foxtrotter, and the Tennessee Walking Horse. The Icelandic horse has also retained the special Tƶlt gait that may* be the exact gait of medieval ambling horses.
*may, I am not a gaited horse expert.
The Packhorse
This describes any kind of horse, usually a rouncey, that is used not for riding but to carry supplies. Packhorses could also be mules, donkeys, and ponies, so long as they could carry weight for long miles. These were supply horses, carrying food, weapons, tents, whatever else may be needed.
Knights, Horses, and the Battlefield
^ What an incredible creature of power and nobility. The man is fine too, I guess.
Now, if you have seen the above scene, you have probably seen The Hollow Crown, a historical drama with a few late Medieval battle scenes. In these scenes, knight clashes against knight in a furious charge, leading to pitched battles on horseback. I'm not going to say that never happened, but by and large cavalry was directed against infantry, not other cavalry, or used to conduct maneuvers requiring speed and surprise, such as a charge, a circling maneuver, a bluff retreat and most importantly, to chase down routing enemy soldiers. A knight on horseback was most effective in close quarters against unmounted and surprised soldiers. Lances were the primary weapon, allowing a mounted warrior length to spear and batter down at enemies, and a sword was secondary, as it had a shorter length, and would be used if a mounted warrior was surrounded by infantry or in battle against another knight. Throughout the medieval period, horses sometimes were removed from the fight all together due to unfavorable land, and kept in reserve to either help the army flee or to chase down the fleeing enemy.
Hungry for more?
There are many sources out there to learn more about the medieval period and knights in particular. I would highly recommend that you not look at Medieval Times sources, if only because better sources are out there. I enjoy the videos produce by Jason Kingsley CBE (Yes, that Jason Kingsley CBE) on his Modern History TV YouTube Channel, and find them to be accurate as far as I'm aware.
^ Jason Kingsley and his horse Warlord, in costume. I've sent marriage proposals but I've not yet received a reply.
That's all for this post. I'll have more when I feel like it, and send me questions if you want to know more about specific things or need a writing question answered

have a cup(cake) of cheer
prompt: cooking together (@steddieholidaydrabbles) rated: t word count: 668 tags: future fic, rockstar eddie/teacher steve, evil pta moms notes: this one is part of the future fic series! it stands alone, but just for context, corroded coffin exists and is very successful! steve is a teacher and they have four kids š„°
welcome to Day 6 of the fic advent calendar ā bite-sized fics posting every day during the month of december. enjoy!
āGive me the āā Steve says, gesturing at the pastry bag on the counter. āThe that.ā
He pushes his glasses up the end of his nose with the back of his wrist and shakes his hair out of his eyes, frustrated and sticky and ā Eddie glances up from where heās diligently adding glitter sprinkle snow to the top of the iced cupcakes. He makes a face.
āYou realize we couldāve just bought these,ā he says under his breath as he hands it over. āNo one would have even known.ā
Steve lets out a hollow laugh. āYou clearly havenāt met Jackie from the PTA.ā He squeezes out a dollop of chocolate icing. āSorry,Ā JaqueliiiineĀ , even though everyone knows sheās not actually French. Sheās from Texas.ā He ices another cupcake. āJackie from Texas whoās out to get me.ā
āBaby, come on,ā Eddie says. āI doubt sheās harboring some secret vendetta against you. You just donāt like her because she put you on ticket-taking duty at the start of year picnic.ā
āSheĀ toldĀ me to buy the cupcakes,ā Steve says. He widens his eyes. āBecause she was ā how did she put it ā ājust so concernedĀ about how difficult it must be to manage a familyĀ andĀ a career with a partner whoās always leaving on tourā.ā
Eddie snorts. āI take it back,ā he says. āShe sucks.ā
Steve looks up from his cupcakes. āRight? Thank you. Robin said I was overreacting.āĀ
He squeezes the pastry bag again with more force than necessary, and the icing comes out faster than he means for it to, drooping down over the sides of the cupcake.
āDoes she realize who sheās dealing with?ā Eddie asks, shooting Steve a sideways glance. āI mean, youāre not being nice to her, are you?ā
āNo, but Iām biding my time,ā Steve says. He finishes with the tray heās working on and sits back in his chair, watching Eddie work. āI just need to figure out how to hit her where it hurts.ā
Eddie lets out a laugh as he pulls Steveās tray of cupcakes toward himself to start adding sprinkles.Ā
āRun against her in the next board election,ā he says. āThatād show her.ā
And he sort of sounds like heās joking, but Steve frowns as he turns it over in his mind, staring out the darkened window at the shadowy shape of the lemon tree in the backyard. He doesnāt know why he didnāt think of it first.
āThat might actually work,ā he says after a moment.
āI know,ā Eddie says. He glances up, flashing a smile. āThatās why I said it.ā
Steve gives his ankle a little kick under the table. āDonāt be a dick.ā He squints. āDo you think Iād win?ā
āYouāre the only hot dad on the PTA, and you have a very famous rockstar for a husband,ā Eddie says. āJust tell them youāll get Coldplay to do the winter carnival next year or something. Theyāll vote you in for sure.ā
āIsnāt that kind of cheating?ā And then, maybe more importantly because he doesnāt actually really care about being fair, āCan you actually get them to play?ā
āPlease,ā Eddie scoffs. āThey owe me a favor after that thing at the VMAs last year. This is worth cashing in for.ā
āI love you,ā Steve says. He hooks his foot around the back of Eddieās ankle. āSo fucking much.ā
Eddie grins at him. āAs if Iād let King Steve go down to Jackie from Texas without a fight.ā
Steve laughs and reaches over to snag the over-iced cupcake. He peels off the paper and breaks it in two, taking a bite as he passes the other half to Eddie.Ā
āJackie can suck it,ā he says. āShe doesnāt even know how to make her own cupcakes. Did you know she brought store bought ones to the Thanksgiving bake sale?ā
Eddie looks genuinely scandalized as he takes a bite of his own cupcake half. āShe didnāt.ā
āShe did,ā Steve says. āAnd they werenāt even good ones.ā

enchanted | knight!eddie munson x princess!reader
summary Eddie never saw you again after that night, you both were ten years old and sitting in a piano, just a couple of kids enjoying each others company but since you were a princess with an arranged marriage, you got trapped in a castle. You never saw Eddie again but he did, getting close to your windows to watch you, you grew to be the most beautiful he has ever seen. A re-encounter might change the world, even put upside down two different kingdoms.

wc 2.4kā¦ i surprised myself
moodboard | next chapter
A few years ago two kingdoms decided to unite, building a wall to protect them both and agreeing on sharing everything. With this agreement also came the rule of āarrange the marriage of their second born children at the age of 20ā The two of them being born in the same year made it easier for it to be more under control, thanks to their older siblings being already married or out of town.
Prince Jason, from the Craver family, was born in the light of the summer, and with it came his whole personality. He isnāt much of a charming young man, his soft hair shines under every light, even the fire, whatās supposed to be aggressive and dangerous. The boy used it in his favor, lighting his room every time he got a new girl on his bed from one of his famous parties.
From the second kingdom, Princess Y/N from the Willow family was born in autumn, just in time when the trees start to let go of their orange-colored leaves. She was a quiet girl, always surrounded by books, avoiding parties, and helping her mom grow all kinds of flowers. Sheās never had a boyfriend, and always tried to keep herself busy until the day of her wedding, which she named āthe end of her lifeā.
She didnāt like Jason, at family dinners, he always had a girl in his arms, he wasnāt polite and he was irresponsible. Didnāt have what it took to be a good prince, let aside the new king. The princess was about to turn 20, in three weeks exactly, she was scared of her future because she had too much more to learn, to see, to experience.
ā
At the start of the cold winter, Eddie was born, the same year as the prince and the princess, his friends always joked about that āIf you were born into the Craver family, you wouldāve married the princessā he always laughed about that, knowing that only happened in his dreams, one time, after a private Christmas dinner with the Royalty, when his uncle Wayne became the Willow kingās right hand. Eddie was being trained by his uncle, in sword fights, first aid, horse riding, everything to serve as a knight to the Willow kingdom and to keep him close, but the long-haired boy hated it, he wanted to play guitar, play piano, conquer every instrument in existence, he loved music thanks to his mom who unfortunately died when he was a little boy.
Eddie had an innocent crush since that dinner, he was 10 the same as you, and you showed him the piano and started playing with it.
āYou should come here and take classes with me, I'm pretty sure youāre going to be better than me. You have talent, Edsā You said.
āShe said I can take classes with her, Wayne.ā little Eddie begged his uncle to let him go āPleaaaseā
āNo way son, you have to start training,ā the older man said, with a frown on his face.
Since that day, you never saw Eddie again, but he did, when he gets a little too close to the kingdom and stares at your living room window where you read, every day, at 5 pm. He watches you bite your bottom lip when you flip the pages gently, your fingers rub the words as you furrow your eyebrows, he realizes he is head over heels for you.

It was a Sunday, the air was cold and the clouds were getting in the way of the sun making its light a little bit dim. Eddie grabbed a horse and some grapes, to keep him company while he watched you read, it wasnāt weird, right? He wasn't doing anything wrong, just an innocent act ofā¦ spying. His uncle stopped him after hearing the loud steps of the horse.
āWhere do you think youāre going?ā
āIām going for a ride, just to clear my headā
āNo, you get back here young manā The voice of his uncle was louder, firmer, Eddie whined at the old man with a frustrated look on his face āDid you forget tomorrow you start working for real? We have to get you readyā
āReady? Iām ready Wayne I just need a little time to myselfā
āNonsense, get back here you have to clean your armorā
They both get back in the little house, Eddie sighed as his uncle showed him the new armor.
āBut itās clean!ā Eddie whined again, Wayne eyed his nephew annoyed, and tossed a cloth into the young boyās chest.
āItās not, it has to shine,ā he said, Eddie sighed again, defeated. āCāmonā
Eddie stayed home that day, the first day he skipped his little spying routine, and thank god he did because what happened that day at 5 pm wouldāve broken his heart.
__
āJust one kiss, please?ā Jason said to you, getting the book out of your hands and throwing it aside.
āYou are drunk at 5 pm? What is wrong with you?ā
āNothing! Just kiss meā he leaned in closer to your face, fingers touching your jaw āWe are getting married, donāt you remember?ā
āI do, I think about it every day and it makes me so sick, now I have a migraine because of your little tantrumā You push him away, and with all the strength in your body, gravity played a little turn and betrayed you, making you fall on top of him on the floor.
āAre we going to practice?ā Jason had a grin on his face, his hands tightening on your waist. You get up quickly at the feeling of his touch, fixing up your dress you leave the room, not after scoffing at him and his absurd behavior.
ā
On Monday, the kingdoms were throwing a celebration in honor of King Cravenās 60th birthday. Everyone in town was celebrating, having a big party for themselves with the excuse of their least-favorite King. The servants were getting the party started, Queen Craven decided to go with a ball instead of a casual dinner, where people from other towns would come to see the castle and have fun with beautiful gowns and expensive jewelry.
After Eddie met with the Willow king and queen, his new job was taking care of their little princess. He was excited about it but also nervous. Heās getting a chance to spend time with you, to watch you for a few more minutes than usual. It was a new sensation for him, some kind of anxiety mixed with enthusiasm, walking around with a heavy metal armor over his body relaxed him a bit, it was making pressure on his chest so his heart wouldnāt burst out, the only ābadā thing was he didnāt have to wear a helmet, he was afraid his grin was too big on his face and decided to look for an empty room to make a little dance of celebration.
Finally one of the doors opens, and thanks to his bad luck he finds your room. You are currently in a large undergarment, looking at yourself in the mirror and making a disgusted face. You didnāt have a corset on because you hated them, but something was off with your self-esteem that day.
āSorry, sorry i-ā he said, stunned to speak at the sight of the beautiful princess. He also dreamed of seeing your body, it was better than his imagination would have pictured. The parts of your naked skin were glowing, he closed his fist trying to keep himself on edge, the desire of touching you, feeling your soft skin with his fingertips, and placing kisses all over you made Eddie turn around quickly, closing his eyes in an attempt to memorize what he just saw.
āWait! Donāt go!ā you said, getting in your dress as quickly as possible as he touched the door handle āCan you tie up my dress? Itās pretty difficult for me since i canāt reachā
Eddie opened his eyes wider, trying to ease his breathing and slowly coming up to you āYour wish is my commandā he said to himself.
He nods in your direction and gets closer, you move your hair to one side so Eddie can tie up the dress easier, and with his big fingers, he takes the laces of the dress tightening up a little, and makes a secure knot on your back.
āPlease make sure you add a bow, i-it looks better that wayā You peek your head over your shoulder for a second, he nods again and tries to make a proper bow, but it turned out nicely than he thought.
He rests his hands on your waist, looking at your reflection in the mirror, you keep checking if the dress looks good and trying to fix some parts of it that look loose. You didnāt mind Eddieās touch, you knew who he was and what he was doing here (kind of). You were happy inside, you always wanted Eddie as a friend since that night when you were kids, and now you can keep him close, even better, speak to him and get to know him.
āThank you, Eddie,ā you say, getting out of your pool of thoughts.
āYou remember me?ā he asks, eyebrows crinkled on his face, and you giggle looking at his surprised face.
āHow could I forget such a pretty face?ā Eddie flushes instantaneously.
āMe? You are the one who looks speechlessā you blush, the little flirt game making your heart flutter.
āYou think so? I believe this dress has something wrong, do you?ā
Eddie takes his time to reply, looking at your reflection again he keeps looking for the mistake you were searching for earlier, but he seems to miss it. He gets brave enough to trace your waist and torso with his fingers, going up from your back and resting his hands on your exposed shoulders, rubbing them delicately. You shiver at his touch, something that you have never felt before, your tummy starts to feel funny and your breath hitches, the boy behind you is quick to notice your little squirm, he laughs at it and gently takes his hands off you, you miss his touch already.
āI donāt think so, it looksā¦ you look really goodā he says, giving you a look of reassurance. He misses your skin too, itās been just a couple of seconds since his fingers ignited with your warm skin and now his hands are too cold for his liking. You turn around in a quick twist, locking eyes with him.
āSoā¦ you work here now,ā you ask him, getting lost in his chocolate eyes.
āYes, from now onā
āWhat do you have to do?ā His cheeks feel warm being close to you, now he hates the armor that protects his chest from the warmth of your body.
āI have to take care of you, actuallyā You are quick to notice he is trying to hide a big smile āYour mom kept talking about your little trips to the outside and she wants someone to protect youā
āYou think I need protection?ā you cross your arms in front of your chest, Eddie brings his attention to your little act trying to look tough and he gets lost in your cleavage for a minute.
āN-no, Iām sure you are fineā he shakes his head and finds your eyes again āSince youāve been back without a scratch i know you got everything under control, i meanā¦ she only wants to keep me close to you so she can relaxā he curses at himself for feeling so nervous all of a sudden, the fact that he didnāt know about your trips to the woods outside the kingdoms makes his blood boil, he kept tabs on you every day, all day, how did he miss this?
āIām pretty sure she thinks there are monsters out thereā you laugh, covering your mouth with your hand āi only go out to read, sometimes i need to clear my head and be somewhere new, you know?ā He nods, he understands perfectly, thatās what he said to his uncle just yesterday.
āYes, but now I'll be doing my job and watching youā ālike i used toā he thinks to himself.
āAlright, i donāt mind you doing your jobā You roll your eyes and turn around āI have to keep getting ready, can you wait outside?ā
āYes, of courseā he leans his head to the front and you giggle at his movements āIāll leave you to itāyou giggle at his movements āIāll leave you to itā
āIāll take a lot of time, you can just go get some food and Iāll find you in the kitchenā
āIf you need something iāll be there, i have to take you to the Craven kingdom in an hourā
āPerfect, iāll find you thereā he leaves your room after listening to your words, you look at him with a soft smile before he closes the door and you run to the bathroom to clear your head.
You quickly realize you miss his touch on your body, the pool on your panties confirms it. You lift your dress and sit on the edge of the bathroom, reaching for your pussy and rubbing your clit over your clothes with your fingers, closing your eyes, and trying to focus on him. His masculine scent comes back to you, remembering his fingers touching you and the way he looked so good in that armor, you made sure to remember he had been working out to get the job. Your imagination takes you far beyond, it was almost as you were listening to his moans, but no, it can be, he is in the kitchen at this moment. Maybe he is eating a tiny cookie with his big hands, crust getting all over his mouth, maybe he is eating a cupcake while he gets frosting over his fingers and he sucks them clean, eating the bottom part while licking at his sugary lips.
But you were wrong, he wasnāt in the kitchen, he came back a couple of seconds after you went into the bathroom. He wanted to ask you something before you had to be in a public space, surrounded by people he didnāt like. But you werenāt there, he got worried for a second until his ears started ringing, recognizing your voice through the bathroom door and your shaky moans. His cock got hard just hearing you breathe in and out with a fast rhythm, he quickly got his hand under his pants and started to rub his dick, moaning at your pretty noises not noticing you could hear him, he managed to run to a bathroom close to your room to release his cum and wash his hands after. You did the same in your bathroom, quickly cleaning your cum so it doesnāt drip onto your clothes.
If thatās how both of you get after seeing each other for less than an hour, it would be worse when you have to be together day and night.

a/n: i'm on a roll today waow... this is NOT proofread btw but i hope you like it!! any and all mistakes are mine. feedback is encouraged & welcomed :) xoxo
part 1 ā part 3 ā part 4
Life aboard the Scarlet Pearl was unlike anything you imagined. You'd heard all the stories of the crew and their captain, of how they were ruthless and fearsome, in strength as well as in numbers. Yet, for as cunning as they were said to be, they were just as commendable.
Pirate King Maximoff and their crew were said to ravage their way through the richest cities and take as much as possible. The government did everything in their power to stop them, but the pirates were always five steps ahead. On top of that, weeks later after the pillaging, the lower class people were suddenly able to afford better meals, to keep the fires in their hearths going all night. They could finally afford to live comfortably.
There was no way for the government to question it without looking greedy or heartless, so to save the shame of having someone else take better care of their people, they kept quiet. They'd soon find that people who lived in better conditions were happier to do labor.
You'd admired Pirate King Wanda ever since.
Growing up with a silver spoon in your mouth made it so you never even had a moment to question where your next meal would come from, or if you'd freeze to death during winter. When you were young, you'd never thought to question it. As you grew older, however, it became more and more obvious to you that something was not right.
On the nights you'd sneak out of the Manor, dressed in one of your ladyās maids' old dresses and worn out boots, you'd head down to the pub and eavesdrop on the stories people would tell. It didn't take long to learn of the famous Pirate King, even less time to learn of how desperately the townspeople longed for them to show up here. You had no one to tell, but you wished the same.
So, the fateful night they finally arrived, you knew you had to join their crew and set sail with them. You couldn't bear another minute of being around people who looked down their nose at others who had less than they did.
Which leads you to the present, elbows resting on the ledge of the ship, reminiscing on the months that have passed since you arrived.
You'd been utterly shocked and embarrassed to find out the very pirate you so brazenly spoke to in the Manor was the Pirate King Maximoff herself. She'd had a good laugh about it, but ultimately didn't hold it against you. She didn't want anyone to know she was a woman, anyway. As much as it annoyed her to admit, people were more likely to be afraid of her if they thought she was a man. She always made sure those people regretted that, though.
The setting sun kisses your cheeks as you breathe in the salty air of the surrounding sea. You've worked hard to prove your worth, and you have the callouses to show for it. The crew were rightfully wary of you at first, but thankfully, it wasn't long before they welcomed you with open arms.
Pirate King Maximoff, while never rude or hateful, still kept somewhat of a distance from you, always watching you work from her place at the helm. Her chief mate, Natasha, is never far, ready and waiting for new orders to pass along. She was the hardest to crack, but you'd recently had a breakthrough that left you smiling in your bunk later that night.
The wind whips through your hair and you sigh. You couldn't imagine yourself anywhere else now.
āShouldn't you be getting some grub with the rest of the crew?ā
You spin around quickly, startled at her voice. Captain Maximoff stands a few feet away, her eyes calculating as they usually are. Her tan skin glows in the sunlight and you're reminded, once again, of how utterlyā¦ handsome she is.
āCaptain,ā you acknowledge with a tip of your head. āIā¦ I just wanted to have a moment to myself first.ā
āI see,ā she replies, āthen don't let me keep you.ā
āNo!ā
She stops, turning to you with an eyebrow cocked. You hope the flush along your cheeks can pass as being under the sun for too long.
āI mean, um. You don't have to leave.ā
She tilts her head, quiet for a moment as she reads your expression. She's very good at it. You'd learned that quickly.
Whatever she finds must be enough to convince her to stay, because a few seconds later she takes the spot beside you, clasping her hands behind her back as she stares into the water.
āDo you do this often?ā she asks curiously.
You tear your eyes away from her profile and back to the horizon. āSometimes,ā you confess.
āWhat for?ā she prods.
āIām not entirely sure,ā you say. āI guess to remind myself how small I am, how minuscule my existence is in this vast world. That what Iām doing and have done is right and for the betterment of others more important than I.ā
The captain doesn't immediately reply, contemplating your words. When she does speak, it's quiet.
āYou are important, though. You are not minuscule. What you have done is important, I cannot deny that, but you must know it is for your betterment as well.ā
You turn your gaze to her, frowning. You find her already looking at you and her stare is hard, willing you to believe what she is saying.
āI would not have agreed to let you on my ship if I thought you were not a good person. You've more than paid your dues. I will not hear another self-deprecating word from you.ā
You swallow past the lump in your throat. āThank you, Captain.ā
Her eyes flit back and forth between yours. Without a word, she grabs your wrist and begins walking away, leaving you no choice but to follow. You're smart enough not to question her.
She takes you to her quarters, and when she shuts the door behind you, the locking clicking into place with finality, your heart begins to race. She walks around you until she stands in front of you. You try to hold her stare, but soon find your eyes dropping to the hollow point of her neck.
You've longed to touch her golden skin for ages now, knowing you shouldn't, but unable to fight the desire. There have been times, fleeting moments, where you thought your Pirate King felt the same, thought youād caught her looking at you with hunger rather than inquisitiveness. Like the way she's looking at you now.
Feeling bold, you raise your shaky hands to trace the exposed skin along her open collar.
āIf you still feel you have debts to be repaid,ā she starts, her hands coming up to your hips, āyou may repay them directly to me.ā
You finally meet her eyes again. Now, you wonder how you could have missed the yearning, the equal desire burning there. You grip her collar in your fists and pull her into a kiss. Like a dam being broken, the Captain presses closer into your body, now cupping your cheeks as she deepens the kiss, flicking her tongue along your bottom lip. You open for her with a gasp, groaning when she licks the roof of your mouth. Your head is spinning, eagerness turning the kiss sloppy, yet no less heated.
She begins moving backwards, tugging you with her as her lips trail down your neck, licking and sucking marks into the skin there that have you whining and begging for more. The back of her knees hit the edge of her bed and she falls easily onto it, taking you with her. She's got you on her lap, hands bunching up the skirts of your dress around your hips.
āI thought you were crazy for refusing to wear trousers on deck, but I must confess it's much better access this way,ā she teases.
You smile, cheeks pinking. āI'd hoped you'd find me prettier than the others,ā you admit.
āTrust me, from the moment I saw you, you were the most beautiful creature I'd ever had the pleasure of seeing.ā
You have to kiss her again for that, tongue sliding against hers in a way that has you shivering and throbbing for more. You pull away, shifting back until you can kneel on the floor in front of her, holding her heavy-lidded stare.
āMay I try something I've thought about, night after night since joining your crew?ā you ask.
She nods with an interested quirk to her brows. You pull one of her legs forward so her boot is easier to get to. Biting your lip, you lift your skirts and yourself, shuffling forward and hovering for just a moment. When you lower yourself to sit atop her well-worn leather boot, it's still warm from the summer sun.
You see when it registers with her, what you're doing. Miraculously, the unflappable Pirate Kingās cheeks begin flushing as you slowly grind your wet core on her boot.
āChrist,ā she whispers.
You moan, clutching her thigh, your hips rolling your clit into the firm pressure of the leather. It feels far better than you expected. You rest your cheek on her knee, panting hotly against her trousers as you continue riding her boot. Movement out of the corner of your eye catches your attention. You moan when you realize she's unbuttoned her trousers and stuff her hand down them. You can see the way she's circling her fingers and it makes you grind faster.
She moans above you and your eyes snap to hers. She pushes your hair out of your face, tugging on your bottom lip. You suck her thumb into your mouth and she curses, eyes going glassy as her concentration splits between rubbing her own clit, watching your lips around her thumb, and the way your hips roll sinfully.
āYou're either an angel or the devil,ā she decides.
You pull off her thumb to mutter, āI'm whoever you want me to be,ā then suck it right back into your mouth.
āWhat if I said I wanted you to be mine?ā she whispers.
You whimper, squeezing your eyes shut before opening them, sending her a pleading look as your hips pick up pace. Your pussy glides across her boot smoothly now, your wetness doing more than enough to help you along.
āYeah? Wanna be the Pirate Kingās kept woman? Want the rest of the crew to know you belong to me? I think you'd look even more stunning with my marks upon your beautiful neck.ā
You can only nod, muffled moans slipping past her thumb in your mouth. Her hand quickens in her trousers and you stare, transfixed, your orgasm so close you can taste it.
āCome, my love. Come for me,ā she pleads.
Your eyes roll back, the endearment going straight to your core. You grind harder, faster, until finally the building pleasure crests and swells and overwhelms you, coursing through your veins like wildfire. You moan and whimper, twitching as you ride out the high.
āYou too,ā you beg, breathless, pawing at her trousers until you can get your hand next to hers.
She cries out, then grits her teeth as your fingers help her reach climax. She throws her head back, mouth falling open on a silent moan as she comes, hips bucking into your hand.
āSo beautiful, so handsome,ā you praise and she groans, yanking your hand out of her trousers and tugging you back into her lap.
She kisses you fiercely, passion coating every second as the two of you come down. When you've both caught your breath, she kisses the tip of your nose, tipping both of you over to lie fully on the bed. She wipes her hand on her already soiled trousers, but you bite your lip, hesitating. Meeting her eyes once again, you lift your fingers, wet with her desire, to your mouth.
āA demon is what you are,ā she accuses as you lick your fingers clean.
You smile. āYou can't return me now. You're stuck with me, I'm afraid.ā
She sighs dramatically. āWhatever shall I do with you?ā
āI may have a few ideas, my Captain,ā you tease.
She pushes you onto your back, kissing away your giggles until they turn into gasping moans.
(The crew hoot and holler when they see you next, your neck littered with bites, and a proud Pirate King smirking at your side.)

Vlad, Viago and Deacon as parents [pt. 3]
[part 1] [part 2]
Requested by @italakthoughts (btw, is it pronounced like āeehtalakā or āaytalakā?)
Authorās note: There will be some angst in this part, sorry guys, couldnāt help myself. This is probably the last part of this as headcanons, but I might make a one shot later. Also, I am still open to requests, but I will be a bit slower with posting, bc college is kicking my ass so hard itās ridiculous.
_____________________________________________
All three have their favourite game to play with you.
For Deacon itās tag. You run around the whole house, climbing walls and ceilings, turning into bats or dogs and always trying to outsmart each other.
With all the excessive energy both of you have, this is literally the perfect activity to get you to fall asleep faster, because your tag is hardcore. A human wouldnāt stand a chance.
With Vlad itās blind manās buff. Because of vampireās heightened sensitivity, this game becomes all the more challenging for the one hiding, because you have to move very smoothly and be completely silent.
Of course, Vladislav still senses where you are, but he likes to give way to you. Your happy smile whenever you win is absolutely worth it.
Viago always goes for hide and seek. At first, you werenāt a very good at it and chose the most obvious hiding places. But with time you improved to the point, where Viago sometimes legitimately wonders if he lost you.
When he canāt find you for way too long, he just gives up and asks you to come out of your hiding place.
You also do a lot of tea parties together.
Just imagine the three of them sitting at a tiny table with toy cups filled with blood.
You usually made up some kind of weird circumstances for the party. For example, you pretend that youāre aristocratic mice, who conquered a catās lair and now celebrate your victory with a tea party. Or you are all wives of a wealthy king and you plot his murder to share the power between the four of you.
They really get into their imaginary roles. Though sometimes this can lead to them getting a bit carried away and actually starting a fight over a fictional event.
Nick and Stu often join in as well.
You really like playing with Vladās hair, since he has the longest out of the three and that means you can do a lot of funny hairdos. He doesnāt really mind, as long as youāre careful to not rip anything out (it grows back very fast, but itās still an unpleasant feeling).
Deacon often gives you piggyback rides anywhere and everywhere. You basically use him as a jungle gym and while it sometimes annoys him, he rarely protests.
In winter, Viago always takes you ice skating. Even though youāre a vampire and you canāt catch a cold (or feel cold for that matter), he still insist on you wearing very warm clothes. People might think heās not taking good care of his kid!
When they go to New York for the vampiric council duties (shoutout to wwdits show), they take you with them. Viago definitely takes you to see a musical. Heās not bailing on that. And itās probably going to be something incredibly campy. Probably Andrew Lloyd Webber too.
You and Deacon have an absolute blast in the NY subway, scaring random people to death with little to no repercussions or getting into the last car and drinking whoever dared to sit there alone.
Some random blogger accidentally caught you and Vladislav turning into bats in an alleyway of Manhattan on video. So you had to hunt him down and hypnotise his whole audience into forgetting about the existence of that footage. It felt nice to be famous even if only for a bit.
As any flatting situation, these three have a lot of bickering and arguments.
They really try to avoid having any of those arguments in front of you, but sometimes it gets out of control. In those cases, they try to either deflate it or just ask you to leave the room and let them sort this out.
Petty or not, parentsā arguments are not something a child should be watching.
If you ever die from being burnt by sunlight or get killed by a vampire slayer they will be utterly devastated.
Vladislav is probably the best at handling it. He grieves silently by himself, reminiscing about all the fun silly things youād say and do when he wasnāt in the mood. With time, the sadness numbs. But there is still that gaping emptiness somewhere in his immortal soul.
Viago would never forgive himself. Maybe if he took better care of you, if he paid more attention, if he took more precautions, if he kept a closer eye on you, if he was just by your side at the right timeā¦ maybe youād still be running through the halls of this dusty houseā¦
Deacon is just furious. Heās furious at whatever caused your death and heās furious at you for being so reckless and getting yourself killed. Why do his closest ones keep leaving him so suddenly?
But that wonāt happen obviously, youāre not dumb enough to die twice ;)
Genuinely, your time with them could be considered one of the happiest periods of your life. And if you tell them that, they will feel very proud of themselves.
All three of them really mean well and want to give you the childhood they never had.

Romance Manhwa You All Should Read...
So there are a few Korean manhwa that I have been reading recently. Some are new manhwa which I just picked up to read while the others are old ones that I read before and now I'm re-reading them again. All of them are of modern-setting with the premise of high school or college romance. š„°š„°š„°
The new ones that I'm reading for the first time -
My First Love Hate
Seasons Of Blossom
Our Secret Alliance
Just Twilight
I Don't Hate Us
Cheese In The Trap
Revelation Of Youth
Operation Name: Pure Love
The Law Of Being Friends With A Male
My Introverted Boy
See You in My 19th Life
The old ones that I've read before and now re-reading them again -
Something About Us
Positively Yours
Marked By King BS
The ones that I haven't read yet but want to get into it -
Romance 101
My Younger Brother's Friends
Rewriting Our Love Story
1 Plus 1
Villain With A Crush
This Must Be Love
Now I wanna talk about some of the Manhwa series that I recently read in the last couple of days...
Our Secret Alliance
Manhwa Status: Completed Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers. THE NO. 1 BEST FUCKING "CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TURNED LOVERS" TROUPE MANHWA OUT THEREš!! PERIODš¤!!!
No, seriously. I really enjoyed reading this series, and OMG !!! Female lead Se-i Yun and male lead Jaeha Kim are so fucking adorable!!! Se-i is a cutie, for sure, and seeing Jaeha as a boyfriend in this story raised my "boyfriend" expectations to an unrealistic height...
Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful male lead here... so beware!!!
Seasons Of Blossom
Manhwa Status: Completed This story has four different parts: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. And damn, the stories are so good, y'all!!
(This is gonna be a LONG rant here btw...)
I really loved the 1st part of the series "Bomi's Flower" which is the season of Spring. The sweet female lead (Bomi Yun), one of the most popular and studious girls in school, has a little crush on the 2nd male lead (Jaemin Lee), another popular kid in school, but later finds out that her best friend/2nd female lead (Seonhui Kang) also has a crush on Jaemin. But the thing is everyone in their school ships Bomi and Jaemin together as a romantic couple. Seonhui also shows her genuine support to Bomi as a good friend if she ever tries to get together with Jaemin, but Bomi knows that deep down inside her heart Seonhui is hurting by the fact that Jaemin likes Bomi and everyone ships them, meaning her love towards Jaemin is unrequited. So to save her friendship with Seonhui and also to save Seonhui from a potential heartbreak, Bomi gets into a fake relationship with the male lead (Jinyeong Choi), so that Seonhui and Jaemin get the chance to be together... But the thing is Jinyeong is the complete opposite of Bomi. Unlike Bomi, Jinyeong is blunt, ruthless with his words, always has a straight bored look on his face, and has an "I don't give a fuck" kinda attitude. He doesn't fuck around and hates those typical high school dramas and bullshit. Even though he's a gaming otaku and only has two male friends, he's quite famous among the students; guys want to be friends with him because of his game recommendations and girls think he's really cute. Also despite the fact that he's shorter than Bomi in height, my man has balls for sure when it comes to speaking up about his mind or taking action for anything.
This story talks about how opposites attract one another, how to discover and learn new yet unexpected things, how to fall in love for the first time in life and that sweet feeling like falling in love in your youth, and how to break out of your own shell and discover a new side of yourself. This 1st part of the series will give you nothing but fluff, sweetness, and butterflies.
And then later comes the 2nd part of the series, the season of Summer aka Hamin's Flower...
Okay, this one was really tough to get through. Not because the story sucked or anything. It's because of how painful, angsty, and heartbreaking it is. In the 1st part (Bomi's Flower aka Spring), we get to know that the 2nd male lead Jaemin Lee had an older brother named Hamin Lee (the golden child of the family) who died 6 years ago by committing suicide. We don't get much info about Hamin Lee in the 1st part (other than the fact that he's Jaemin's brother) until it comes to an end and the 2nd part begins. The 2nd part opens up with Jaemin Lee and the gang bumps into a 24-year-old art college student named Somang Han who happens to be Hamin's girlfriend from high school. Through Somang's narration and flashbacks, we get to know what kind of person Hamin Lee was, how she and Hamin met and fell in love, and how he spiraled into depression which resulted in him ending his own life. And also through Jaemin, we get to know more about Hamin as a son and a brother and how their parents' rough parenting pushed him to darkness and depression. At first, when Hamin was first mentioned in the 1st part, I didn't think much about him and only felt empathy for Jaemin for losing his older brother. But after getting introduced to Hamin in the 2nd part and learning more about him through Somang and Jaemin's POV and narrations, I couldn't help but bawl my eyes out for him in every single chapter. It got even worse for me since I already knew where the story was going and what was going to happen to Hamin in the end (it was more like the Shinichiro Sano effect from Tokyo Revengers like you know who Shinichiro is and what happened to him but that doesn't stop you from falling in love with him despite him being dead throughout the whole series). RIP Hamin Lee; my heart will always go out to you, forever, always.
The 2nd part Hamin's Flower aka Summer talks about some heavy topics/subjects like - dysfunctional families, rough parenting going wrong, dealing with societal burdens and depression, losing your loved ones and dealing with the aftermath, your first tragic love story, handling regrets and dealing with your traumas, how to overcome those traumas, and finally how to let go of your past and move on with life.
Hamin's Flower left me in such a numb and gloomy state that I couldn't read the other two parts (Autumn and Winter), but I'll try to get back and read them sooner or later. Even though I haven't read the complete series yet, I'll still give out a biased statement - I really, really loved Bomi's Flower and Hamin's Flower, and these two parts will always gonna be my favs from this series (doesn't matter to me if Autumn and Winter are better than these two).
Cheese In The Trap
Manhwa Status: Completed The oldest series in this list...
This story... this story... Oh God, where should I begin?!?! I can't believe that I didn't read this until now!! This is a truly mature love story. If you read this wanting a simple light college romance, this is not for you. While there are very cute interactions between the main character and her love interests, it is a very well-thought-out and complex manga - definitely the most realistic I have read thus far. The character development is out of this world and adds a sense of tangibility to the characters that you really don't see in fiction normally. To explain, the important main and side characters in any story are always bound by rules of development to identify them as cogs in a narrative; we have underlying expectations about what theĀ characters might do, or how they mightĀ subvert those expectations. But, this webtoon is the study of social relationships and the nature of people. You get to seeĀ that there will always be some sort of social hierarchy, that there are meanings and repercussions beyond what you expect to happen in life, and that we all have some degree of victim and perpetrator in us. We all cope and process in different ways, while also continuing and evolvingĀ in life the way we know how.Ā Unlike anything I have ever read before.
Also, this story is under the tag of "Psychological Drama" and it's all because of the male lead named Jung Yu. God, I've such a love-hate relationship with him, y'all!! Like I love him but also hate him at the same time. He's mysterious, charming, alluring yet so damn confusing. Also, the fact that he's a sociopath with a bit of a Yandere-ish tendency in him and that he's also obsessed with the female lead (Seol Hong) in a very twisted way??? He's a walking red flag for sure, but then again not... In short, Jung Yu is a complex character and my simple brain just can't comprehend him. I also love the female lead (Seol Hong), the 2nd male lead (Inho Baek), and Seol's two best friends (Bora Jang and Euntaek Kwon). The only important side character I despise is Inho's twin sister Inha Baek (don't ask why; just go and read it for yourself and you'll know why... also I hate those bully characters too btw, just so you know...).
I Don't Hate Us
Manhwa Status: Completed Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers.
Another series with "childhood best friends turned lovers" troupe done right!!
The female lead (Wonsu Ha) and the male lead (Jaesu Sang) have been childhood best friends since their middle school days. They had been best friends through high school and college until one day Wonsu got herself a boyfriend. Jaesu has romantic feelings for Wonsu, but she only sees him as a friend and has platonic love for him. Wonsu then breaks up with her boyfriend, not because the guy is a cheater but because they aren't that compatible with each other, so they mutually break up and separate. Wonsu also gets separated from Jaesu because his romantic feelings for her were getting in the way of their friendship at the time, and also her relationship with her ex-boyfriend took a toll on her mentally and emotionally, so she cut off all her connection and simply focused on her studies and graduating from university. Years later, now working in a small yet growing company, Wonsu reconnects with an adult and more mature Jaesu, who now works in a multinational corporation, and that's when sparks and butterflies start to fly left, right, and center. Almost all the characters are likable, the story and the plot are realistic, and overall it was an enjoyable read for me truly.
Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful male lead here... so beware!!! I mean, the fact that despite the bad boy looks and everything, he's so cute like a puppy is fucking adorable, yo!!!
My First Love Hate
Manhwa Status: On-going Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers
This one came out this year and so far I'm really enjoying it. Just like the previously mentioned series above, the female lead (Eunha Kang) is relatable, funny, smart, studious, strong-willed, and whatnot. The male lead (Seungmin Ha) is Eunha's childhood best friend since elementary school but they stopped hanging out with one another ever since he became a delinquent back in high school despite the fact that they went to the same school and were in the same classroom. Years later, Eunha got into a prestigious university in Seoul and later learned that Seungmin was also at that university!! Not only that, he also stopped being a delinquent for good and suddenly started dressing up like a nerdy college boy. When Eunha asked what he was trying to do, Seungmin simply replied that he was returning back to his old self again and wanted to reconnect with Eunha... But things got a bit spicy all of a sudden when a tattoo-bodied 2nd male lead named Ryu Seonhoo walked into the scene and Eunha had to tutor him for the GED test on a regular basis...
Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful, puppy-like male lead AND 2nd male lead here... so beware!!!
Just Twilight
Mahwa Status: Ongoing Troupe: Strangers to friends to lovers
I won't say anything about it... JUST FUCKING READ THIS SHIT ALREADY!!!
If you're a fan of another famous manhwa series called "Positively Yours", then you'll also love this series since it's written by the same author. The female lead (Junyoung Yun) is literally my spirit animal and the male lead (Beomjin Kwon) is such a husbando material, y'all... like, just look at him!!!
That's all for now... I'll make more Korean manhwa recommendation posts again very soon!!!
My manhwa recommendation list posts - Link 1, Link 2, and Link 3.

Headcanons and a short fanfic for my Thai God of war, Kaolan Wongsawat š„
He absolutely hates being cold and dreads when he has to travel to during winter months to other countries (I feel the same way, man)
He loves plants so much that the entire palace garden is under his care and he chooses which plants are to be grown.
He does surprise Saw Paing Yoroizuka in Myanmar every now and then just because he always gets surprise visits. Itās not to fight though, itās just being him snacks and visit his village.
He wants to get married and settled down soon with a few kids running around.
The headband jewel he wears is his birthstone and was a gift from the Kingās mother.
A royal affairā¦
Kaolan was very much acquainted with royals as he was so close to King Rama as well as being so famous due to his status as a boxer so it was normal for him to at royal affairs quite often throughout the year despite how busy he was.
Y/N is a cousin of King Rama who just happened to be a princess/prince of a neighboring country.
āā¦it is so kind for a God to grace us with his presenceā, Y/N said teasingly as they smiled at Kaolan.
Kaolan immediately turned your way and bowed slightly, āā¦your highness, thank you for having my king and I in your homeā¦I am but the grateful one to be surrounded by your graceā, he said ever so politely as he gently took your hand and kissed the back of it.
āYou know you donāt need to do that with us, Kaolanā¦you are practically family at this pointā, Y/N said gently.
He couldnāt help but smile at that, āā¦I am a mere servant of the kingā¦ā.
Y/N smiled gently and took his hand into theirs, āā¦come, letās go for a strollā¦I fear we have much to catch up onā.
Kaolan was about to decline because he was accompanying the king and also protecting him at the same time but the king was all too quick to give him a thumbs up and began socializing.
He sighed softly as he was dragged into the gardens, āā¦ah the gardens have changed from the last time I was hereā, he commented as he leaned close to touch the flowers and take in the scents.
āOh yes, you left quite the impression on my father that he redid the whole garden with the seasons in mindā¦thank you for thatā, Y/N said with a smile.
He smiled sheepishly before noticing the rose bed that was unchanged, āā¦his prized possession still remains though as it shouldā, he said with a smile.
The rose bush had been there from the day you were born, your father had planted a different rose bush from all over the world on your birthday for as long as you have lived.
Y/N blushed in response, āā¦it is something pleases himā¦ā.
āAny father who does something that endearing is a father who loves their child dearlyā¦it inspires me for one day when I am in a similar positionā, Kaolan said gently as if deep in thought.
That made you both blush and wonder what was on his mind when he said that, was he ready for marriage and children or was that just a random thought he hadā¦one couldnāt tell unless they truly knew him well enough.
āI hope my future husband feels the same way as you do, Kaolanā¦ā, Y/N said absentmindedly before realizing what they had just said. It was too late because he was already looking at them with an all too teasing smile.
āā¦rā¦right so whatās been going on in your travels lately? Rama said you were in Japan for three months, I envy you!ā, Y/N said with a pout.
He nodded gently in response, āā¦I got to visit some friends, travel and train during that timeā¦it was outstanding even though it was a little cold, I managed as much as I couldā, he said gently as he didnāt want to go into detail about his underground fights.
āReally? You have friends other than my cousin? I didnāt know that you were socialā, Y/N teased as Kaolan rolled his eyes in response.
āYes, I doā¦I think youād like them, theyāre very sarcasticā, he replied calmly.
Your jaw dropped when he said that, āā¦that was meanā¦but if you are inviting me, Iād love toā¦maybe after our third or fourth dateā.
That took the boxer off guard and he snapped back to look at you.
āā¦dā¦date?ā, he stuttered, āā¦I meanā¦if you want toā¦Iād take you on a dateā¦ā.
This left you both blushing in that moment that seemed to last forever and perhaps it was just the silence between you both that make it even more awkward. Standing side by side as you both stared at the garden.
āā¦Iād like that a lot, Kaolanā¦ā, Y/N finally said as you felt Kaolanās fingers lace into yours and squeeze a little.
āIāll plan it out and call youā¦then we can go on our first dateā, he said with a smile as he looked over at you.
You smiled and nodded before gently leaning your head against his shoulder.
The last thing you thought would happen this night would be you having a date with Kaolan but here you wereā¦
