RESTLESS NIGHT | B. BRADSHAW
Tumblr media
Bradley had just came back home, four months ago he left for a deployment that was a top secret mission. For four months, you were alone for the majority of the time.
Sure, his friends would make sure you were a-okay and that you wouldn’t starve to death. You knew what it would be like to date Bradley, but sometimes it hits hard.
A door slam was heard from outside of the shared house you had with him, your eyebrows raised. It was 3 am, who would be at your house this late at night?
Taking the bat that was always by your side of the bed, you opened your bedroom door and slowly walked through the house. You hid in a dark corner of the living room, just in case the intruder in your drive-way decided to come inside.
Your eyes widened when the door knob to the front of the house un locked from the outside, you gripped the tan bat in your two hands, ready to jump the guy who decided to barge into your house that you feel safe in (even without Bradley there).
The door opened slowly, as if the intruder knew that the front door creeks every time it’s opened. You started to scream at the intruder, the bat swinging behind you and almost had hit the intruder but the intruder was faster.
His hand grabbed the bat as he swiftly turned around to face you. “Bradley.” You breathed out.
He grinned like crazy, “what in the world are you doing at 3 am up at this hour, and why are you in the corner with a bat?” He chuckled, dropping the bat on the dark wooden floors you’re standing on. “I heard a car slam door. Thought it was someone random,” you shrugged with your eyes still widened.
Bradley laughed, “you still didn’t tell me why you were up at 3 am.” He pointed out. “S’nothing.” Your arms found their way around his torso, you snuggled up to his body. “Mhm, sure.” His voice vibrates to your body, and you can hear his heartbeat steady with your one ear on his chest. “I’ve missed you,” you whispered. “I’ve missed you more,” he responded as he kissed your forehead.
“God that mission was tedious. All I was thinking about was coming back home to you,” he rambled. You cooed for him, your hands reaching to the back of his head as you played with his curly lock of hair. “Well I’m glad you made it back home all in one piece.” You said as you looked at him with lovey dovey eyes.
He looked back with the same affection, leaning down to your lips and placing his on yours. “God I’ve missed you so much pumpkin.” He whispered. “I could not imagine life without you”
You smiled softly. “The same from me to you.” You kiss him once more as he dropped his duffle bag. “Come on, let’s go to bed.”you grab him by his hand, walking in front as he walks behind you. You opened the door, turning on the light and you could hear him taking off his clothes already. “I’m just glad I can get back to my comfy bed and my beautiful wife. This is a win for me.” He was in his khaki shorts only, taking his shoes off first.
“This is a win for me as well.” You smirked, looking at Bradley’s chest. His eyebrows raised, a smirk placed on his face. “Yeah?” He asked. “Mhmhmhm,” you mumble. Bradley eyed you from what you were wearing.
His favorite set- the set he got you for Valentine’s Day two years ago. A silky black pajama set that hugged you perfectly. “Well, I also too like what I’m seeing.” He responded to your previous comment as he walked slowly towards you. You were at the end of the bed, his body softly hovering over yours as he placed you onto the soft mattress. “Oh yeah?” You asked back, the same way as he did.
“Yeah.”
A/N:
I came back to the first person that blew up on my blog because I haven’t wrote about him in forever and I have been feeling so in love with Bradley Bradshaw right now it isn’t even funny 💔.

Being the only other medically intelligent resident in the mansion intensified your job.
Slender partnered you with Jack, the tall brooding organ-eating demon that spent most of his time either in his medical lab in the basement or face-deep in someone’s intestines. It was charming, really. 
Your jobs were to patch up the proxies and keep them running, their missions being insanely more dangerous than the average creep and constantly landing them on Jack’s workbench. You were tasked with helping the demon: holding wounds closed, getting his supplies, or even rounding some innocent bystander up for his dinner. You were always on the move, always completing some requests. And it was seriously taking a toll. 
You were becoming restless, your body always aching and your mind never quiet from the constant stress you faced. You tried to hide it, but as the bags under your eyes grew from the lack of good sleep, it became harder to put on a good face. Especially around the demon who ordered your every move. 
So when Jack occasionally got restless and left you in his lab to go hunt, you usually would spend the time tidying up or catching a quick nap. But when a bloodied Tim stumbled down the basement steps and through the door, heaving from exhaustion, you panicked. 
The tall brunette stumbled into your arms, coughing loudly as you tugged him to the medical table and laid him down, his jacket dark with blood and dirt. He had been shot, twice in the gut, it looked like. You grit your teeth, tugging his jacket and shirt off as you carefully watch his face, his eyes already beginning to flutter shut. Shit. Where the hell was Jack?! It wasn’t that you didn’t know what to do, it was just that Jack was more familiar with these things. You were just an assistant. But you had no choice, curse the demon and his greedy tongue. 
You pulled the medical tray towards you, the metal pan littered with different tools you were familiar with. You grabbed a cloth, dousing it with sterile alcohol and wiping Tim’s gut, forcing his chest down as he hissed against the sting. You had to be quick, there was no telling how long the poor guy was hauling himself here and bleeding out quickly. After cleaning his skin, more blood gushed, but you were finally able to tell where the entrance holes were. “Just hold on.” You grit, grabbing the long tweezers from the tray and focusing, pressing your arm against Tim’s chest as you slowly sink the cold prongs into the wound. The large man cried out, fists clenching the soft padding of the table as you prodded for the bullet, pushing deeper until you felt an abnormality lodged deep into his skin. You were way too shaky for this, your unsteady hands likely to tear his wound further as you pinched the small bullet and unlodged it from his gut. You needed Jack, now.
And like a god-sent, you heard loud boots stomping down the wooden stairs, a tall figure emerging through the open door as you dropped the bloody bullet onto the tray. “[Y/N]? What’s all this blood- oh shit.” Jack’s monotone voice muffled behind his mask, his head instantly snapping to you as you turned to him, panicked and hands covered in Tim’s blood. 
The demon was quick, grabbing the tweezers from your hand and pressing over the bleeding man, doing a much better job of retrieving the second bullet as you slid to his side, offering your help as always. He popped the tiny metal onto the tray, quickly grabbing disinfectant and eyeing you as he returned to the bloody scene, trying his best not to apologize right now.
-
Before you knew it Tim was back upstairs asleep in his bed, his torso wrapped in clean bandages and veins full of liquid painkillers. The procedure went by quickly after Jack arrived, making quick work of getting the man cleaned up after his latest mission. You sat at Jack’s desk, face hidden in your hands as you finally caught your breath, fingers still stained with his blood. The demon leaned awkwardly against the edge of the table, mask long discarded on the now clean table now that you were in the privacy of each other. Jack had stopped using his mask around you long ago when he realized you would be together every day, pushing past his instincts and accepting your presence wholeheartedly. He appreciated the help more than you knew. 
“I’m sorry…” He mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck as he watched you, palms rubbing your tired eyes as you looked up, but not at him. “It’s fine.” You wanted to accept his apology, but your angry sleep-deprived brain wouldn’t let you, a snarky response being all that you could offer. Jack could hear your irritation, cringing to himself as crossed his arms, looking down to the floor. “Like, seriously. That was completely me. I sho-” 
“I said it’s fine, Jack.” You cut him off, huffing as you pushed off the desk and began picking up random trash around the lab. You refused to look at him as you tried to occupy yourself, begging your angry tongue not to attack him further. But Jack, being himself, pushed further, begging for your forgiveness. “But it’s not. I mean, how can I make it up to you?” He pushed, circling in front of you and reaching for your shoulders, the demon easily towering over you as you strained your neck to look up at him. “You can’t, okay?” You snarled, pushing off of him and tossing random syringe packets into the trash, slipping away from him. You were fuming, unreasonably, but you couldn’t help it as you breathed quickly, face growing hot. You were becoming overstimulated, your hair pressing too close against your neck, this room suddenly becoming way too cramped, and your head just hurting, begging for you to just lay down. 
Jack crossed his arms, sitting back against the medical table as he watched you stomp around, his knee tapping worriedly. “But-” Just hearing his voice was beginning to make you mad, his need to apologize becoming so whiney in your mind. “Listen, Jack. I don’t fuckin’ need your sorry, okay? What I need is to be left alone. I’m stressed out of my mind, alright?” You snapped, shoulders tense and hands flinging with every word. Jack just watched quietly, his dark sockets staring blankly at your red face. He knew you were stressed, how could he not? But he also knew this was the result of days of suppressing that stress, refusing to acknowledge just how overwhelmed you were until you got to this point, your words moving faster than your mind could stop. He didn’t take it to heart, it was all emotional and he knew that. But what he did do was push further, despite your anger. 
“Then why don’t you rest? Like, take the day off or just take a minute. I don’t know, have a shot or something.” You leaned back against Jack’s desk, rubbing your face as you groaned, your head pounding. “You don’t think I’ve tried? Can’t catch a wink of sleep because my mind won’t just stop. I’ve been on a high drive all week.” You whined, tears pricking your eyes as the demon watched you, brows knitting as you wiped your eyelids. He thought quietly, sockets studying you annoyingly as you wiped your hair from your face, irritation growing when he wouldn’t look away.
“Have you tried masturbating?” For a second, you really couldn’t tell if your ears were working right, convinced you were still in shock as you glared at him. What the fuck kind of question was that? Thinking he was joking, you laughed dryly, rolling your eyes. “Very funny, Jack.” But he wasn’t laughing, his face dead serious as he arched a brow expectantly. That’s when your face grew hot, cheeks growing a darker tint until you forced yourself to look away, avoiding his piercing gaze. You screwed your eyes shut, embarrassed. You hadn’t, but you felt like he had already come to that conclusion as he pushed off of the table, stepping closer to you and making your breath hitch. He tilted his head, arms crossed tightly as he strained the answer out of you.
“No, okay? I don’t have time for that shit. And besides, I wouldn’t even know how.” Such trivial things had never crossed your list of wants when you were working under Slender. You had more important things to worry about like completing missions or saving someone’s life. Touching yourself hadn’t really crossed your mind. 
Jack scoffed, his hands uncurling to rest against his hips. “What? You mean like, you don’t know how to jerk off?” It was embarrassing when the demon said it out loud, your eyes screwing shut and cheeks hot before him. But he only stepped closer, his tall stature suffocating you. You shook your head, refusing to look up. “Why would I need to? I’m not some dog in heat.” 
That one struck harder than you meant for it to. You were all too familiar with Jack’s seasonal heat cycles, his demon instincts overriding his thoughts a couple of times a year and driving him to seclusion for a week or so. Those were the times you hated the most when he wasn’t around, wasn’t there to guide you during a procedure or appreciate your efforts. So when you looked up at him, fearful that he was going to go off on you for your careless insult, you were surprised to see his face so calm. 
“Yeah, you need to jerk off.” He smiled, a little teasing in his voice as you scowled. “Listen, orgasms are good for relieving stress. So, if you’re going to keep working, you either need to learn how, or let me help you.” His words felt like a joke, but his face was so sincere you had to readjust, your stomach tightening with butterflies. He couldn’t be serious, help you? 
But as his gray-blue claws rested on his hips, head tilted to stare at you below him, you couldn’t help but squirm. He was looming closer, his jagged smile teasing but earnest as your face became hot. This was embarrassing, letting practically your boss coerce you into letting him get you off. You wanted to say no, to fight him off and persevere by yourself. But when the flutters in your stomach turned to throbbing between your thighs, you groaned, giving up. 
“Fine. But… I don’t know what I’m doing. Like, I’ve never done anything like this before.” You mumbled, pushing off the wall and standing inches from him, straining your neck to look at his toothy grin. “It’s okay, pet. I’ll be gentle.” 
Pressing his claw behind your back, he guided you to the medical table, pushing you to the end. You panicked slightly when he scooped under your armpits and picked you up easily, setting you on the edge so you were level with his chest. You wanted to stop, the sudden closeness making you overwhelmed, but when his claws rested on your hips, you tensed. “Relax.” He cooed, leaning in to press a chaste kiss against your cheek. You were speechless.
Your friendship with Jack was close, and your mutual understanding of how difficult both of your lives were plus the forced proximity made it easier to become quick friends. But as his warm lips pressed down your jaw to your neck so comfortably, you questioned everything you thought you knew about the two of you. He was eager, but soft, nipping against your skin as you tilted your neck, gasping softly as goosebumps ran over you. He was nudged between your legs, his short hair tickling your ear as his claws gripped you tight, holding your hips down. You couldn’t help but rest your hands on his shoulders, pushing back slightly as he moved to the other side of your neck, little red spots appearing everywhere he nipped with his fangs. 
“Jack…” He smiled, letting off your neck and pecking your cheek again, leaning back to look at you. Your face was hot, cheeks dark and flustered, but he thought you looked cute. You, however, had your thoughts running a mile a minute, confused but oh so excited as his claws slipped under the hem of your shirt. Jack could smell your arousal and it made him hungry, so rarely, for something other than guts. 
“Shh, lean back.” He hummed, slipping your shirt up and off your head and making you whine. Placing your hands behind you, you leaned back, stunned when he slipped his nails into your shorts and tugged them down your thighs, purring at the sight of your panties. You couldn’t believe he was actually serious, slipping the fabric off your ankles and tossing them to the ground, hands quick to reach your hips again. You placed your hands on his chest, holding him back from attacking your neck again. “You don't have to do this. I’ll be fine.” You grit, eyes nervously flickering between his face and his crotch pressed so closely between your legs. He just smiled, rubbing your waist. “This is for you. If you’re going to keep working, I need you in good condition. Just relax, pet.” He cooed, pushing back against your chest so you lay on the padded table, feet dangling. You were practically vibrating, unsure of exactly how to lay or move so you just gripped the leather awkwardly, watching the demon run his claws over your thighs.
“I need you to talk to me. Don’t let me overwhelm you.” He said sternly, hooking under your panties and tugging them down, your legs instinctively clutching together. “Too late.” You whined, pushing your hands down to cover yourself as you breathed heavily. Jack only chuckled, gripping your wrists gently and pulling them to your sides as he kneeled. You watched him nervously, his face now even with your closed thighs as he pushed your knees apart, checking your expressions. The demon knew you needed this, knew you were excited. He just needed to show you to let go. 
Spreading your legs despite your protests, Jack scooped his arms under your thighs, tugging you closer to him until he was inches from your pretty cunt. He breathed deep, sighing at the sweet scent of your excitement that coaxed him closer. His dark sockets never moved from your panicked face, sitting up slightly as you watched his lips smile, your eyes wide. This was insane. But before another desperate attempt to get him to rethink this left your lips, one of Jack’s dark, long tongues licked a thick stripe between your folds. Your back hits the leather immediately, a shaken gasp slipping through as you tense your thighs closer. Jack’s strong arms held them apart just fine, chuckling to himself as he watched your pupils blow wide. His tongue was so warm and slick, his thick saliva running through your lips and making you shudder. “Jack-”
He was already back again, long tongue running flat up your cunt and flicking on your clit. Your gasp was ragged, fingernails digging into the padding underneath as you craned your neck to see the demon. Jack was staring at you, the corners of his open mouth twitched up to a smile as he flicked the tip of his tongue against your already twitching clit. The feeling was so unfamiliar, so odd but so heavenly. He seemed so skilled, so eager to tug the little sounds out of you as he dove deeper, your bottom lip slipping into your teeth. 
“You alright, pet?” He mumbled, tongue quick to lick a thick stripe between your folds again, pressing a soft kiss against your soaked lips and giving you a moment to breathe. His claws were kneading the softness of your thighs, his thumb rubbing against your burning skin. Were you alright? Your breathing was heavy, quick and sharp as you stared at him, cheeks hot and flushed. You were nervous, your body unsure of what it was even feeling, but you knew you needed more. More of whatever his delicious tongue was offering. 
So, you nodded, leaning back but keeping your head up, watching nervously as he kissed your inner thighs softly. He smiled again, kissing his way back down to your folds and sliding his tongue out again, spreading the lips around his warm tongue. You groaned, biting your lip as you tried to contain the noises that dared to get louder, unaware that you could even make sure vulgar sounds. Jack was back to flicking against your clit again, eyelids heavy as he relished in the way you fought yourself. You were so desperate to contain what he knew you needed to let out, so he slid deeper, his long tongue slipping against your tight entrance. 
You panicked slightly, stomach clenching when you felt him press against your hole. He didn’t move, eyes trained as you gripped the leather, your face hot and heavy. Your thighs threatened to close, Jack’s claws digging slightly to keep them apart but not pulling farther. Your clit was throbbing, aching from the loss of the demon’s tongue but alive with the new sensation. He blinked at you, reading every expression as he dared further, the tip of his thick tongue slipping inside of your cunt. At the sensation, you didn’t expect your hips to jerk, legs tensing as he pressed inside, but you couldn’t stop yourself. Jack held you close, your tight entrance accepting the warm intrusion as you clenched and throbbed. It was so unfamiliar, but so warm, so filling. 
The further his tongue pressed in the faster your hands slid down to run through his brown hair. You gripped tight, tugging lightly as his lips pressed flush against your folds, his eyelids fluttering shut as he soaked in your warmth. You tasted heavenly, your arousal thick around his tongue as he breathed deep, letting you adjust. His tongue contoured easily through your cunt, rubbing gently against your gummy walls until your hips were squirming, begging for movement. You couldn’t even explain your movements, your body taking control and guiding itself against him. But when Jack’s thick tongue eventually curled against your warmth, lapping at your ecstasy, you felt like you couldn’t breathe. 
“Jack!” It came out ragged, like you were gasping for air that was being stolen with every curl. You tugged against the demon’s hair, his groans vibrating against your cunt and making you whine louder. It was too much. The unfamiliar stretch, the warmth, and even his noises were making you lose yourself. “Ahn- Oh my… Oh my God-” You moaned loudly, your resistance thinning with every pull of his long tongue. Your body twitched against him, your hips stuttering and grinding uncontrollably. His thumb still brushed against your thigh, that one constant keeping you aware the deeper he probed his tongue. Your back arched off the table, unsure if you were trying to pull away from him or angle him deeper, but he moved with you. 
The wet schlick of his tongue tugging in and out of your tight cunt made you groan, eyes screwed shut. You were so overwhelmed, but Jack was quick to read you, quick to adjust his speed the louder you got and bring you back down to a comfortable pace. Your lightheadedness appreciated that, your cunt slick and gummy as your arousal built, his lips becoming soaked. But Jack was in heaven. You tasted so good, so unexplainably good that he couldn’t dare remove his tongue. Your arousal was so sweet, but so sour in his mouth, his groans vibrating against your cunt. But it was pooling now, building heavily. He knew you were close, so he curled harder. 
“Jack, I- Ah! I think I’m gonna- gonna cum…” You mewled, his grinding down against his mouth as you tugged his hair closer, pressing his head deeper between your thighs. You were so sweaty, so hot and overwhelmed, but you couldn’t stop. There was a thick knot in your abdomen, your arousal peaking louder. Jack grumbled, nodding his head lazily as his eyelids tightened, focused on reaching deeper and tasting more of you until your body couldn’t resist anymore.
You came hard. It was such an unfamiliar sensation, your entire body wracking and tensing itself, a sharp moan crying from your lips. You leaned forward, Jack quick to adjust and pull your hips up so he could drink up every inch of you that spilt onto his tongue nestled so deeply inside of you. You were crying out, your fingers gripping his hair so tightly you were afraid you’d rip it from his scalp, but Jack could only moan. “Fuck- Fuck!” Your thighs were shaking, the demon’s large claws gripping tighter so he could relish in the feeling of his tongue being squeezed by your throbbing cunt as you rode out your orgasm. Your breathing was loud, your cheeks hot as you panted and strained against the tongue still nestled inside. You waited for him to slip out, but he never did, his tongue still prodding against your soaked walls. 
The demon’s eyelids eventually opened, his cheeks dark as he held you close, his lips swollen against your folds. You were so stunning, every inch of your burning skin glowing under your ecstasy as he slipped another tongue out of his mouth. It slid against your folds, just as thick and long as the first one but finding a new direction as you whined loudly. He wasn’t done with you yet, he couldn’t be, not when your body called to him so desperately. So his second tongue flicked against your clit the same way he did before, pitching the tiny cries and whines out of you he loved to hear. You were quick to react, your body still sensitive but desperate to chase that high again as you jerked against his tongue, hips stuttering even harder. Jack didn’t go too fast, pressing just hard enough and just quick enough to make your arousal build up, but watching you closely to make sure he didn’t press your sensitive body too far. He was careful, diligent with his every flick and curl. You were falling apart all over again.
“Jack, I’m- I can’t again-” You whined, legs heavy on his arms as he groaned, hugging them close to his head. The demon dug his knees into the ground, his cock pressing hard against his jeans but he ignored it, focused only on you and making you spill on his tongue again. “Yesh, yu can…” He lulled against your cunt, eyelids fluttering with every slick of his tongues. You wanted to resist, wanted to fight back against him, but he had pulled every ounce of your fight out. Jack was pushing you into some headspace you had never experienced before, your mind running on fumes and ecstasy. So you just let go. 
It was no time before you were cumming again, your orgasm much quicker than the last. Jack didn’t hold your thighs apart this time, he slid his claws up your waist, letting your plush legs wrap around his head and squeeze tightly as he groaned. The demon was slowly cracking under you, his mind running rampant as he drank down more of your sweet arousal, pushing off of his knees and to his feet until your hips were completely off the table. Your shoulder blades pressed back against the padding, your loud moans echoing in his ears and making him grin. Your cunt was wrecked, sopping wet and swollen as his tongues finally slid back, tugging out of your stretched cunt and back into his mouth. You watched through heavy lids, sweat sticking to your forehead and making you feel all hot and exhausted.
But Jack was lost in your body, eyelids heavy over his sockets as he leaned over you, pressing wet kisses against your stomach and back up to your chest. You were heaving, goosebumps rushing along your warm skin as the demon reached under your back and unclipped your bra, sliding it off of your shoulders. “So pretty…” He mumbled, kissing along the skin around your nipples until you were hissing. He peered up at your red face, grinning as he slid his arms around your waist and tugged you up to his chest, pressing you close to him. “Did so good, huh? Don’t you feel better?” He cooed, rubbing your back with his nails gently, leaving goosebumps against your skin. 
You did feel better. In fact, you didn’t feel anything but good. Your mind was blank, only the cool leather under your soaked cunt making you twitch, pleasure still coursing through your muscles. Jack was nestled between your legs, chin tucked over your head as he smiled, breathing in how amazing you smelt under him. But this close, you could feel his boner pressed tightly against your thigh, the large bulge making your eyes widen. The demon had done so much for you, it was only right you do something in return. 
You slid your hand down between you, cupping his bulge and rubbing gently until Jack was groaning. You tried to unbutton his jeans, but he was quick to lean back, gripping your wrists. “There’s no need for that. You need to rest.” He grinned, pressing your hands back to your sides gently. You pouted, straining against his arms to reach back again. “You helped me. Now let me help you… Even if it won’t be very good, I can still try.” You peered up at him, eyes wide and pleading as you felt some sense of need wash over you. Jack watched you carefully, contemplating with himself before sighing and rubbing his neck. “Okay. But do not push yourself.” He warned, letting go of your wrists and helping you slide off the table. 
The demon grunted when your hands found his bulge again, your heart pounding in your chest as you unbuttoned his jeans nervously. You had no fucking clue what you were doing, but you pushed his jeans back anyways, his boxers doing little to hide his girth. Jack’s claws rubbed your shoulder gently as you tugged his boxers down, gasping when his length bobbed out. He was… huge. You had never really seen a dick before, but you knew Jack was above average. The demon towered above you anyway, so it only made sense that his length would carry through. But even still, it was hard to focus as you watched the girth twitch in the air. Jack’s claw gripped your shoulder tighter now, watching you carefully.
Taking a deep breath, you kneeled, the demon taken back but quick to adjust. Your wide eyes flicked nervously between his face and the cock in front of you, hands nervously gripping his thighs as you pressed closer. Jack was nervous himself, studying your every move. Licking your lips, you pressed a kiss against the tip, shocked by how warm the flesh was as you lifted your hand to grip the base. Jack sighed, fisting his hands at his sides. You licked your lips again, the salty taste making you press further. You flattened your tongue, licking the head and slowly pumping the length in your hand, unsure if you were even doing this right. But when the demon groaned, pressing his hips closer, your stomach fluttered. 
There was no way you were fitting that in your mouth. So instead you tugged his cock to the side, pressing your lips against the side and sucking gently, jerking your hand slowly. You mouthed against the base, slipping licks up the length until Jack’s claws were resting against your head, rubbing gently and gritting his fangs. It wasn’t good and you knew that, but Jack didn’t care, all he knew was that you were trying and that was all that mattered to him. “Yeah, doing so good pet… Keep moving your hand just like that…” The demon cooed, running his thumb against your cheek. Your stomach fluttered wildly, your mouth sliding to the tip and sucking at his slit. You could taste the bitterness as you run your tongue against the head, Jack's arousal pushing through his gritted teeth. “Fuck…”
You dared, pushing your jaw open and flattening your tongue as you took the tip inside. You tried to press further, but your throat constricting as you gagged pushing you back, tears pricking your eyes. “Ah, careful-” Jack hissed, pressing his hands against your cheeks and pushing you back, but you resisted. You took the head in your mouth again, tongue swirling as your screwed your eyes shut, pumping your hand along the rest of the length. The demon groaned, hands still pressing against your cheeks gently as he begged you to take it slow. His skin was hot, cock twitching in your mouth every time you sucked. “Easy, pet… Yeah, just like that…” He groaned, brushing the hair off of your forehead and admiring your flushed face. You tried to press further, but you would gag and force yourself back, head bobbing as far as you could go before slobber pooled on your lips. You pumped his length quickly, making up for the rest of the length you couldn’t get. Jack was vibrating under your mouth, claws gripping desperately in your hair and brushing the tears from your eyes. “Shit, [Y/N]...” Your jaw was becoming sore, but you pushed, begging your throat to take him.
Until Jack gripped your chin, tugging it down and pulling you off of his tip. You whined, pushing back against his hands but he was already pushing you to the floor, back pressed down against the cold concrete of the basement. Jack kneeled between your legs, spreading them wide as he tugged off his shirt, tossing it to the side. “You did so good, pet… So good… Let me…” He hissed, pumping his cock in his claws and pushing your knees apart. Your eyes widened, heart pounding underneath his hungry gaze. “Jack- I don’t know if I-” But he was already rubbing your thigh gently, pulling your hips to meet his. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.” He cooed, breathing heavily above you.
Jack pressed his cock down, angling your hips up against his thighs so your cunt laid flat in front of him, your hands gripping onto his knees. Your heart was pounding, eyes flicking nervously as you watched Jack press his cock down, sliding his wet length through your soaked folds and groaning loudly. His tip nudged against your clit, your hips jerking as you gasped, digging your nails into his jeans. “Feels good, yeah?” He purred, slowly grinding his cock down against your cunt, pressing his thumb against the length to keep himself between your folds. You were whining, pressing your hips up to grind against his length as he ground down into you. His tip nudged against your clit with every thrust, the nub twitching against the contact and making your abdomen tighten. “Just like that, Jack…” You whined, his left hand clamping around your hip and pulling you close to him, rubbing the skin gently. 
The demon didn’t thrust fast, more concerned with pushing those beautiful moans from your lips rather than speeding you through an orgasm. He thought the buildup was better anyway. “I can feel your cunt clenching underneath me…” He mewled, pushing his head down with his thumb to grind against your clit, making you hiss. Jack could smell you even heavier now. Two orgasms deep you smelled even more delicious, your heart thudding in his ears as you stared at him through heavy, tired eyes.
That was all it took for him. Jack pressed forward, hands gripping to your waist and leaning over you, pressing his lips against yours. Future consequences be fucked, all he cared about was how amazing you looked and felt gripping onto his shoulders as he ground down into you. You were crying out, hips thrusting up to meet his cock, your folds sliding around his girth and clit throbbing so perfectly. “I want you to cum against me, pet… Let me feel you fall apart under me…” Jack smiled, pressing his lips against your cheek and licking the sweat off your face. You moaned deeply, nails digging into his shoulders as you arched your hips up, angling just right.
Jack moaned out, claws sharp against your skin as the tip of his cock slipped into your entrance, the tight hole stretching around him snugly. “Do it- Do it inside, then…” You gasped, pushing past the sting of your cunt stretching around his head and grinding your hips up, your orgasm nipping at your abdomen. Jack hissed, his hips thrusting down shallowly and popping his tip in and out, stretching you just right. “So perfect… Cum on my cock then, pet… I’ve got you…” He grinned, sweat dripping off his nose as he nestled into the crook of your neck, wrapping his arms around your waist as he fucked you open. 
The tip of his cock pushing just right against the entrance of your walls made you cry out, cunt clenching down tightly around his head before you were cumming around him. Jack growled, breathing deeply as he stalled his hips, his cock twitching against the sudden tightness, pushing him over. His warm seed spilt into your cunt, his cock pulsing as he leaned back and jerked himself off quickly, keeping the tip inside of you as he gripped your waist tight. “Such a good pet… Took me so well, yeah? Taking all my cum like a good girl…” He smiled, giving his hips one last jerk as pushing his tip deep into your entrance for good measure before pulling out. You huffed, cunt throbbing and pulsing as he pulled out, the demon’s warm seed quick to spill out of your entrance and down your cunt, seeping onto your skin. Jack couldn’t help but growl, pressing kisses along your hot skin as you caught your breath, clinging to the large demon. 
When you eventually settled down, eyes heavy and head light, Jack scooped you up, leaning your head against his shoulder. He carried you through the mansion quickly, lucking no prying eyes around to see him carry you to his room and shut the door quickly. He cleaned you up, careful to be gentle against your sensitive folds as he ran a warm rag against you, your tired body clinging to him. “Just relax…” Jack smiled, pulling his sheets back and laying you down, quick to slip beside you and press his warm body against your side, scooping you against him. Your head was so light, your body so heavy and tired against him that you couldn’t resist. You were quick asleep, light snores making Jack chuckle as he breathed your scent deep, pressing his nose against your head and letting his own eyes shut.
Needless to say, you had never slept so well.

Something About Him
There's always been something about Ryan. At least, Liam used to think so.
He never knew if it was his bright and fun personality, his gorgeous face or his top-notch body. I mean, really. Almost 6'2, with arms the side of his own head, pecs that hung out of his chest like tits, rock-hard abs, thighs that could crush a skull with ease and an ass that could put any of the Kardashians to shame. There wasn't anything else to expect, really. Ryan was one of the main jocks on campus.
Tumblr media
And to be honest, almost everyone had a crush on Ryan. Even those who weren't really attracted to men, and the guy truly knew it. He was a total show off, parading himself around the halls in the shortest shorts possible, and when he wasn't wearing tight tank tops or compression shirts, he went shirtless, leaving his incredible physique on display all the time.
Still, it was weird for Liam to have a crush on him. He'd never been attracted to jocks or really built guys. His type was people like him; skinny, nerdy and shy guys. He found jocks and gymbros kind of annoying. They were always loud, smelly, dumb as bricks and with egos the size of a planet.
Tumblr media
But even with all of that, he could never shake the feeling he would get every time Ryan would walk by him. He was so drawn to him. Always wanting to be near him, look at him. And very recently, he actually wanted to try hanging out with him, which was a crazy thing to think about. A little nerdy nobody hanging out with one of the most popular jocks? Complete and utter madness. However, he overheard a conversation between Ryan and one of his 'bros'. Ryan needed help with a literature essay. And now Liam was walking directly to his direction to offer him exactly what he needed.
"H-hi" Blurted out Liam awkardly, cursing to himself for sounding so embarassing. "Uhh, do I know you, bro?" Ryan looked away from his phone to look at the scrawny kid talking to him. "No you d-don't know me, but I was sitting by you in literature when I heard you say you needed help with your essay. I can help you if you'd like it" He said, starting to get that feeling again, like being close to him was making him lose his mind. "Really, bro? That would be so nice of you, what was your name, bro?" Ryan's eyes lit up. "It's Liam, nice to meet you" He extended his hand to Ryan without thinking, regretting it immediately after.
Ryan grabbed his hand and in a swift motion, he pulled him into a bro-hug. When he touched him, his mind went wild with desire. His skin seemed to burn with every second it touched Ryan's. He felt himself getting hard. Embarrassed, when Ryan let go of him, he covered himself with his bag, and sat down next to him to talk about the essay, trying to get his mind off of his unusual thoughts.
They agreed on meeting up in Ryan's dorm after classes so Liam could tutor him, or end up writing the essay for him, he wouldn't mind. As long as he could get to hang out with him, he could write essays for him for the rest of his life. He would give everything to be close to Ryan. And that wish, as he would soon find out, would be granted.
Liam was restless the whole day, counting every second of every minute of every hour until he could see Ryan again. When the day was finally over, he ran to his own dorm to clean himself up and grab some stuff that he needed for the essay. He ran to Ryan's dorm as fast as he could, wanting to spend the longest amount of time with him as possible.
When he arrived and knocked on the door, the door opened almost immediately after he knocked, almost like Ryan was also eager to see him. He was shirtless, wearing only some short shorts that left little to the imagination. Liam couldn't help but stare for just a second, just enough for Ryan to notice.
Tumblr media
"You don't mind me being shirtless, do you bro?" Liam just stood there stunned, not knowing exactly how to answer, opting for an awkard "N-no, not at all. If you're comfortable like that, I don't mind" Ryan smiled with a faint malice, one that Liam didn't pick up on. "Come on in, bro. Mi casa es su casa or however it goes".
When he walked in to the jock's dorm, he saw the absolute mess that the guy lived in. Clothes hanging around everywhere, none of them looked particularly clean. His kitchen sink was filled with dirty dishes, and the kitchen itself was a mess of various stains, presumably from meal prep and even more dishes. After a second of taking what would be his work environment in, he started getting that weird feeling again. His mind started racing and going places he really shouldn't right now.
"So, should we start with that essay of yours? The faster we finish the earlier you can send it in, right?" He hurriedly asked to try and get those thoughts away as fast as he could. "Uhh, sure bro. We could work on it on the couch, it's the most comfortable place to work, I think" Ryan answered, sitting down and signaling for Liam to sit down right by him.
The nerd's heart skip a beat, the idea of being so close to the Adonis of a man in front of him making him go wild with joy. He sat down right there next to him and pulled his laptop out of the bag he brought with him and started talking to Ryan about the assignment and what exactly he needed to write about.
They (actually, mostly Liam) got to work on the essay. With the jock just watching Liam write down idea after idea in the form of fancy and long words. Honestly, the work would have been much easier for the nerd if the beautiful man in front of him would stop being so attractive for a second. He would get distracted from time to time looking at the guy's incredible body. And his mind could not stop thinking about him in every inappropriate way possible, and Ryan noticed this, knowing soon would be the time to strike.
Almost two hours went by when Liam announced that the essay was done. "You're done already, bro? It would've taken me weeks to write that on my own, huhu" Ryan chuckled dumbly, turning around to face the guy who just gave him an A+ and lifting his arm up to reveal a jungle of wiry dark hairs in his pits. Liam immediately locked eyes on the jock's pits and felt his mind go absolutely crazy with want, desire and need. "It really was n-no problem at all" He stumbled on his words, trying to hide the thoughts he was having.
Tumblr media
Ryan smiled maliciously, knowing exactly what was going in the nerd's mind. "You're tripping over your words, is everything okay, bro?" He lifted his arm further, scratching his back. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. I s-swear" Liam's eyes were glued to the dark and damp paradise that was just in front of him. That's when he noticed the smell: sweet and appealing, yet kind of musky and salty. The same smell that, unaware of it, he'd been inhaling since the first time he came close to Ryan.
"You finally figured it out, didn't you bro?" Liam was startled, but still unable of doing anything but stare at the jock's pits "W-what? What do you m-mean?" Ryan just chuckled dumbly again "That little feeling you've been having all day? That would be my smell, bro. It has a special effect on everyone around me, it makes me completely irresistible to those who inhale it" The nerd's mind was steadily fogging up, leaving him confused about everything he was saying to him.
"You can't even think anymore, dude!" Ryan cackled loudly "It normally just makes you attracted to me for a couple minutes, maybe hours. But you've been taking it in for more than two hours, that's where the other part of it comes by. Your intellect is melting totally, bro!" Liam could barely understand anything the jock was saying to him, his mind focused totally on his pits.
"I think it's time for you to take it straight from the source. Come here, bro!" Ryan grabbed the back of Liam's head and pushed it towards his pit, successfully drowning the latter in his scent. In his dazed state, Liam could do nothing to stop him, he just inhaled every bit of the man's smell. His mind melting totally into a sea of pure want and desire for him, leaving no room for any other thought other than pleasing the jock.
His body started heating up, continuing the process further. "Woah! Already at the physical changes then?" He felt hot all over, like in an oven. Suddenly, a pressure appeared on his entire body, pushing it outwards like a balloon getting inflated. Only he was being filled with pure meat and muscle all around. His arms grew, filling up nicely with hard muscle to impress anyone he wanted to. His pits became sweaty and hairy like Ryan's, producing his own musky scent. His hands became big and callused from his time at the gym, veins spreading from them out to his upper arms.
His chest grew heavy with soft muscle that would work like pillows for anyone who layed on them. His nipples growing sensitive and perky, perfect for playing with. Ryan took a handful of the muscle-tits he just gave him, getting a nice moan out of the former-nerd that got muffled by his pits still covering his face. His core grew strong and wide, abs popping into existence until he had a nice and hard six-pack to show off.
Tumblr media
Above, his face reshaped to that of a hot jock, becoming sharp and beautiful. His hair grew messy and fluffy. Like the one you would see in a popular influencer, perfect for grabbing attention everywhere and from anyone.
Below, his legs grew into tree trunks ready to pull, carry or push any weight necessary. His thighs turning into the ones of a guy who never skipped leg day: wide, strong and incredibly sensual. His ass started inflating with soft muscle that lifted him up of his seat, making the task of getting as much of Ryan's scent easier. His calves looked like the ones you would see in a football player, and his feet grew into size 13 soles to match the size of his new body.
Finally, his junk grew to incredible sizes. His balls filling with powerful seed worthy of a jock, and his cock grew harder and harder until it started growing longer and wider. He reached a nice 9 inch monster the width coming close to that of a beer can. Ryan grabbed onto his cock and drew another moan muffled in the jungle of his pits. He started stroking it, coming close to the climax of Liam's transformation.
Memories of straight A's and studying were replaced by evenings in the gym, making his body as desirable as possible. Nerdy friends and interests became nights drinking with his bros, watching sports and talking about their recent conquests and affairs. And finally, any attraction he had towards any skinny guys disappeared, turning into desire for other big guys like himself. Specially for his lover, Ryan. Who he'd met in the beginning of college and with whom he had hit it off right away.
He spent every moment of every day possible with him. Going to the gym with him, sharing classes with him. Practicing football with him and enjoying themselves in the showers after evey game and every practice. Actually, enjoying themselves at every opportunity they could, in the car when they went out to eat. In the college's bathrooms, in their dorm every night after a long day of getting buff for his man. Leaving messes everywhere they were, none of them cared enough for cleanliness or being proper. He was absolutely devoted to him, caring only for what Ryan thought of him and needing to please him in every way possible.
Tumblr media
The thoughts of pleasing him made him tip over the edge, finally coming in his new jockstrap and gym shorts. The remainder of his old clothes torn and destroyed around him. Finally lifting his head up from Ryan's pit, to look directly in his eyes and smiling dumbly. "Had fun, dummy?" Ryan spoke first, giving his jock a loving and mischievous look. "Well what do you think?" Liam signaled to the mess in his jockstrap, getting a laugh out of his boyfriend.
"I could still do one more round, though" The former-nerd said, getting up from the couch and walking towards their room, letting his laptop fall to the ground. He was shortly followed by his boyfriend in a fit of dumb giggles and chuckles. He's sure now that there's something about him, and it's everything about him.

LATE NIGHT, SAFE HANDS.
• jude bellingham x gf!reader
• warnings: just the horrible title. (Also, English is not my first language!)
• summary: Jude Bellingham’s quiet night is interrupted when his girlfriend arrives home drunk after a night out. Amid playful chaos, he faces the ultimate challenge: getting her to finally sleep, revealing the warmth and humor of their relationship.
PART 2: EARLY MORNING, SWEET KISSES
His girlfriend had gone out with her group of friends tonight. She´d had been looking forward to it all week. They had been together for about eight months, and things between them felt easy, natural, despite their busy lives. Jude was head over heels for her, and though they weren´t living together yet, they spend a lot of time at each other´s places. He trusted her completly, however he couldn´t help the subtle flicker of concern that burned in his chest.
Earlier that evening, she had sent him a picture of her outfit for the night, teasing him with a playful "Rate it out of 10." He remembered grinning at the sight―she looked stunning in that red dress that left Jude staring at his phone for way longer tham he´d like to admit. His reply was a teasing, "Solid 11. You´re gonna have every guy at that club staring at you. Take care, yeah?"
She´d reply with a string of laughing emojis and a lot of hearts of different colors and added, "Promise! Love ya."
Hours passed, and with her occasional messages about how much fun she was having and how the club had "grwat music bt terriblw cocktailss" and a few blurred slefies, Jude couldn´t help but laugh before texting her to be careful, trying not to admit that maybe he was a little bit unease.
Around 1:30 a.m, the messages and slurred audios from her had started to slow down, but he wasn´t too worried. He figured she was just caught up in the fun, dancing with her friends and enjoying the night. After all, it was still early. Still, he checked his phone more frequently, feeling a little restless as the minutes ticked by without a response.
"Everything okay?" he´d sent about an hour ago, hoping for an answer.
Nothing.
Jude sighed, staring at the screen for a moment before tossing the phone back onto the couch beside him. He told himself not to worry. She was probably, no, she was definitely fine, just lost in the music, and her phone was somewhere deep in her bag. But a small voice in the back of his mind kept telling him otherwise.
He tried not to be that boyfriend. You know, the one who texts every five minutes to check up on her. But as the clock ticked closer to 3 a.m. and still no word from her, his foot started tapping nervously against the wooden floor. He shot her another text, "You good? Getting kinda late..." Jude stared at the screen, waiting for those familiar typing dots to appear, but after two minutes of nothing, he sighed. He set his phone down, leaning back against the cushions, trying to keep his mind out of it.
Ten minutes passed. Then fifteen.
By the time it hit twenty, Jude was seriously considering calling her. Just to check, he told himself. He had refreshed the chat multiple times but there was no response. He unlocked his phone and was about to hit her name when the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.
Frowning, Jude stood up, wondering who could be visiting at this time of night. As he approached the door, a series of knocks came, maybe a little frantic. His heart race just a little. Who could possibly be knocking at this hour?
He then swung the door open and froze.
There she was, standing in front of him, her makeup smudged, her hair slightly tousled, and that same red dress clinging maybe a little bit higher than when she went out. But what really stood out was the way she was standing, as if she was going to fall at any minute, with sparkling eyes and cheeks flushed―whether from the cold air or the alcohol, Jude wasn´t sure.
But the smile she gave him? Bright as ever.
"Juuuuude!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms up as if she´d just seen him for the first time in weeks.
He couldn´t help but grin at the sight, feeling the relief flood through him. She just threw herself into his arms before he had a chance to react. He caught her easily, wraping his arms around her waist as she giggled into his chest.
"Hey, hey," he said softly, trying to hold back a laugh of his own. "You alright?"
She pulled back slightly, swaying on her feet as she looked up to him. "Of course I am. Why wouldn´t I be?" Her words slurred together, and she had to repeat the question a few times.
"You´re plastered," he stated plainly, amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Your plastered," she tried to imitate him. "Am not," she protested, though the wobble in her stance told him otherwise. She tried to step forward, but Jude quickly caught her before she could topple over.
"Please tell me you didn´t come walking all the way here like this," he asked, closing the door behind them with one hand, the other firmly around her waist.
She gave him a pout. "Wanted to see you."
“Yeah, I figured that much.” He chuckled, guiding her over to the leather couch. “Come on, sit down before you hurt yourself.”
She let him guide her but promptly flopped onto the couch with dramatic flair, kicking off her heels and curling her legs beneath her. She looked at him, a playful glint in her eyes.
“Jude?” she asked sweetly.
“Yes, love?”
“I'm hungry.”
He raised an eyebrow. “You want me to make you something?”
“Nooo...” She shook her head, grinning mischievously. “I wanna cook.”
Jude immediately burst out laughing, kneeling beside the couch as he looked at her incredulously. “Babe, you’re drunk. You can’t even stand up properly, let alone cook.”
She squinted at him, clearly not appreciating his lack of faith. “I can cook. I make the best... sandwiches.”
“Sandwiches? That’s the bar we’re setting?”
She nodded eagerly, but before he could protest further, she was already struggling to stand, making a beeline for the kitchen. Jude quickly jumped up to intercept her, catching her around the waist before she could get too far.
“Oh no you don’t,” he said, pulling her back toward him. “You are not cooking in this state.”
She notice how warm he was. “Jude…”
He laughed, tightening his grip around her. “Nope. Not happening. You’re going to hurt yourself or burn the kitchen down.”
“That is not true.”
“I’ve seen you try to use a toaster when you’re half-asleep. I don’t need you burning down my kitchen with us inside.”
With a huff, she slumped against him, clearly defeated but still playful. She tilted her head back to look at him, her frown returning. “You’re no fun.”
“I’m a lot of fun,” he corrected, pressing a kiss on her forehead. “You’ll see how fun I am tomorrow when you wake up with a hangover,” he teased. “Now, how about we get you some water and you go to bed, yeah?”
“I don’t want water,” she mumbled playfully, leaning her head onto his shoulder and putting her hand on his back. “I want… you.”
Jude felt his heart do a little flip at her words, though he tried to play it cool. “Yeah, well, you can have me tomorrow after you drink some water.”
He got up and headed to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water and bringing it back to her. She was now sprawled across the couch, one leg dangling off the side as she stared up at the ceiling, mumbling something incoherent.
“Here,” Jude said, sitting her up gently and handing her the glass.
She took it begrudgingly, sipping at it like a child forced to take medicine. “I didn’t want this,” she muttered.
“I know,” Jude said, rubbing her back soothingly. “But you’ll thank me in the morning.”
After a few sips, she set the glass down and looked up at him with wide, adoring eyes. “You’re so good to me,” she said softly, her voice suddenly tender.
Jude smiled, feeling his chest tighten in that familiar way it did whenever she said something sweet, even in her drunken state. “Of course I am. Someone’s gotta take care of you when you decide to get hammered.”
“Jude, I’ve already told you that I’m not—,”
“Alright, alright,” he said defeated. Then, after making sure that she had drunk all the water, he lifted her as if she was nothing and carried her to his room.
The softness of the mattress and the sheets made her yawn. As Jude carefully wiped off her makeup and gave her some of his clothes, she couldn’t help to smile, adoring his features. When one of his hands brushed where her ribs where, she giggled at the motion, leaning her head against his chest. “You’re my favorite person,” she whispered.
His heart melted. “And you’re mine,” he whispered back, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.
They stayed like that for a while, she snuggled up against him as Jude absentmindedly ran his fingers through her hair, soothing her into a more peaceful state. Her tipsy giggles slowly faded, replaced by soft, sleepy breaths.
“You okay now?” he asked quietly.
“Mhm,” she hummed, half asleep against him.
Jude looked down at her, his chest swelling with affection. Drunk or not, she always managed to make him feel like the luckiest guy in the world. And despite her occasional recklessness, he wouldn’t trade moments like this for anything.

RESTLESS WITHOUT YOU ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ᯓᡣ𐭩 ; meret manon bannerman x gn reader.
summary ‎::: manon comes home late, only to find you asleep on the couch.
prompt ‎::: “i can't sleep without you, you know that”
tags/info ‎::: established relationship, manon & reader share an apartment, reader has a cat, that's pretty much it =]
note... i love this manon selfie so much she's so gorgeous 😵‍💫😵‍💫
Tumblr media
manon slowed the car down to a stop, letting out a sigh of relief afterwards. she'd been out all day filming stuff for katseye, so all she wanted craved was to get home to you, to hold you in her arms and just drift off to sleep — and at last, she was back home to your apartment, with the reward of holding you again so close. but it was late, really late, approximately 12:46 am, so unfortunately she wouldn't be able to have one of your many late night talks that she cherished so much, as you were probably fast asleep in bed by now.
she exited the car, sluggishly dragging her bag along with her. after an elevator ride that felt extraordinarily long, she reached your guys' apartment, unlocking the door and making sure to open it incredibly slowly as to not disturb you (though the creaky door hinges didn't help her case). she delicately stepped into the apartment, softly shutting and locking the door behind her before placing her bag on the floor. she let out another sigh of relief, though this time over the fact that she seemingly hadn't woke you.
she began to quietly make her way over to the bedroom, thankful that the tv was illuminating her path, lessening the chances that she'd run into something and wake you— wait, the tv was on. she paused, her brows furrowing as she redirected her route to the living room rather than the bedroom.
when she got there her heart absolutely melted, and it took everything in her not to let out the largest ‘awh’ she could muster. you had fallen asleep on the couch while playing a game, which was evident from the pause screen on the tv along with the controller falling out of your left hand. your cat, sona, was curled up comfortably in your lap, but had now stood up and began meowing happily at the sight of manon. “hi, honey! ” she lowly mumbled, gently scratching sona's head as she crawled up the side of the couch towards manon. she sat there for a moment, admiring you whilst continuing to silently pet sona.
while it crushed her heart, during her moment of silence she decided that it'd be better for her to freshen up before coming back to wake you up. a frown appeared on her lips at the thought of leaving you, even if it wasn't for that long. “i'll be back.” she pressed a light kiss to the top of your head, before woefully heading off to the bathroom.
── 𖹭 ──
manon walked out of the bathroom with a huge smile on her face, she'd finally finished her nightly routine which meant she was able to head to bed with you — after waking you up and moving you over to the bedroom that is.
she walked over to the couch, her heart fluttering at the sight of you once again.
she leaned down, slowly but surely removing the controller out of your hand and placing it on the coffee table in front of you. leaning back up towards you, she smiled to herself yet again — gently carding her fingers through your hair, she began to press soft kisses to your temple. “baby?” her smile widened when you stirred, groggily shifting your position slightly, though your eyes stayed closed.
“baby, you have to open your eyes.” she chuckled softly, pressing a kiss to your cheek as she continued to play with your hair. this time, you weakily opened your eyes, lifting your hands up to rub them as your brain tried to process what was going on. “manon?” you looked up at her dazed, “when'd you get back?”
her hand traveled down from your hair to caress your cheek, “a little bit ago.. baby, why are you out here? you should be in bed.”
“i.. can't sleep without you,” you reached up, wrapping your arms around her neck in a desperate attempt to hug her. “you know that.”
she wrapped her arms around your torso, embracing your hug with open arms. “you tried to stay up?”
you paused, trying to push away your embarrassment as you nuzzled your face into her neck. “..i was waiting for you...i missed you.”
manon hugged you tighter, letting out a squeal of adoration, “oh, you're so cute!! ” she leaned down, littering a bunch of kisses all over your face.
you groaned, pretending to dislike the treatment, even though the both of you knew very well that you loved it more than anything. “whatever..”
she pulled away with one final kiss to your lips, her smile as wide as could possibly be. “as much as i love this, we should really get to bed.” she ran her fingers through your hair again, pressing another kiss to your forehead before grabbing your hands so she could help you stand up. you stood up with her assistance, unintentionally bringing sona along with you, as she sat securely on your shoulder.
manon slowly walked you to the bedroom, her hand staying in yours to guide you (and also just because she wanted to hold it) while the other made sure that sona didn't fall.
“the bed is in front of you, love.” she giggled, grabbing sona off your shoulder just before you threw yourself on the bed, sluggishly crawling your way under the covers. unable to hide her smile at your antics, she made her way over to sona's bed tower, whispering a soft “goodnight” to her as she placed her inside before heading out to the living room to shut the tv off, finally going back over to lay down with you after she did.
she slid her way under the covers, immediately pausing her actions when she noticed you had already fallen back asleep. she smile-frowned, imagining how tired you must've been to fall asleep so fast, but also adoring how cute you looked sleeping. she got more comfortable, pulling you into her arms before pressing a feathery light kiss to the tip of your nose.
“goodnight, i love you.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You sigh as you lay down on your pink sleeping bag. It’s nighttime, the day of camping now making you exhausted. Plus, your feet hurt like a bitch.
And the worst thing: you have to share a tent with Ethan.
He sits beside you, one of his comic books in his hands as he holds a flashlight in the other. He’s annoying, never shutting the fuck up and is always so mean to you.
Not to mention that the awkwardness is so incredibly prominent right now.
“Can you turn that flashlight off, please?”
You say it with a bitchy tone. You’ve had a shit day, and you just want to be able to sleep, and you can’t do that unless it’s dark. He frowns, closing the paper book and throwing it in the empty corner on his side of the tent.
“Sorry.”
“You aren’t.”
He scoffs as he lays down, his own sleeping bag making a ruffling sound as his head hits his pillow. “Whatever.”
You sigh, happy that you can finally sleep. But it isn’t long before Ethan is squirming, trying to get comfortable. He turns over so many times that it makes your blood boil.
“Will you stop that?” You snap. He complies, but then he begins to speak.
“I’m in a hole over here, sis. Its fucking uncomfortable. Plus, im a restless sleeper-“
“Stop talking.”
“Bite me.”
“God, you are insufferable.” And then, a pause. “Just come over here.”
Ethan turns to you, and although you can hardly see, she knows he’s looking at your silhouette.
“What?”
“Did I fucking stutter?”
He doesn’t say anything, just groans and maneuvers his body so he’s sliding into your sleeping bag. His hands come to rest on your hip, his body pressed firmly against you. You narrow your eyes.
“I didn’t mean that close, Ethan.”
“That’s just too bad. Because I’m not moving again.”
“Didn’t seem to have a problem moving earlier.” you grumble. He huffs.
“Just go to sleep.”
And so you try. But the more time wears on, Ethan’s warm lips against your neck and his chest up against your back makes your face feel like it’s on fire. You’re angered at your weakness for nerdy guys with nice hair. Even if they’re your stepbrother.
His hips begin to move. You don’t know if he means to; he’s makes a small sound in his throat and you feel his bulge against you.
“E-Ethan..”
You’re nervous, now. He moans.
“You feel so fuckin’ good.”
“What are you-“
“Why don’t you shut the fuck up, for once? Huh?” He’s whiny, but that threatening tone is still there. Your panties are drenched at his movements, as he practically gets off on your ass. And then you can’t take it anymore.
Turning around, you’re quick to slam your lips against his. He complies immediately, large hands going down to grab your waist as you straddle his meaty thighs. Your breath is uneven, watching him below you. You grab his wrists and hold them above his head. He makes a noise of disapproval, his hips bucking up into you.
“Stop it.”
“Stop what?” Your voice is teasing, but there’s a meanness to your tone. “You’re the one who can’t control yourself. Jesus Christ, I’m your stepsister. You’re such a goddamn pervert.”
And then he easily slips his wrists from your grip and brings a hand down to slap your left ass cheek. You gasp, his sudden movement surprising you. He does it again, on the other cheek, this time, and your mouth opens in shock.
“I’m not the one getting turned on by spanking,” He growls, grabbing your throat in his harsh grip. “Now why don’t you shut up and fuck me?”
You look at him with malice, poison lacing your words as you watch his beautiful brunnete curls stick to his angelic face.
“I fucking hate you.” Is all you say. You grab his hand from your throat and pull it off, instead wrapping your fingers around his throat all the same. His eyes roll back, the feeling of you cutting off his air supply making him buck his hips into your crotch. You breathe out a whine, and he begins to laugh with his tongue running over his sharp white canines.
“Says the one.. being a needy little bitch.” He breathes, watching your hips begin to move against his bulge in a circling rhythm. “Little pussy is practically soaking me.”
“Shut the fuck up!“ you hiss. He’s laughs again as you remove your hands from his throat. You take off your top to expose your tits to the warm air inside the tent. Ethan’s eyes widen. Only for a moment, as he tries to mask his surprise and awe. He squeezes your love handles in his warm palms.
“You might be a complete cunt,” he breathes, his face dropping it’s amused facade as he flicks one of your nipples. “But you’re so goddamn pretty.”
You don’t say thank you, or make a sound. He gropes you with an eagerness that has you moving your hands down his thighs. The intimacy almost consumes you, as you look down at him below you.
“Guess I could say the same about you, Landry.”
He grins, and you gasp as he turns your body over so you’re underneath him. He brings his mouth down to your tits, listens to the little breathy moans that spill out of you as he grazes his teeth over them. His shirt is the next article of clothing to be removed, and then soon, you’re both bare and pressed against each other. His girthy length rubs against your cunt, achy and swollen.
“Beg me to stick it in.”
“Fuck you, Ethan.”
He slaps your clit harshly, and it makes you cry out.
“Beg.” He growls. “Don’t make me tell you again, bitch.”
Your face flushes, your resolve finally breaking as you look up at him with through your lashes. Your swollen lips trap his cock against your silky cunt, making him throb and spill precum on your slit.
“Please fuck me, baby.” Your voice is whiny, as you move his hair out of his face to look into his bambi eyes. “Please fuck my pussy. Need it s’bad!”
“There’s a good girl..” he coos, as he slides into your awaiting heat. His eyes roll back as your walls grip him tightly. “God, you’re so tense. Loosen up, won’t you? Gonna break my damn cock.”
“I-I can’t,” you cry, as he reaches into you further. “I’ve- I’ve never..”
He groans, sweat beginning to bead on his forehead from the intense situation and the hot air, gasping, as he looks down at you.
“You’re a virgin? Oh my god..”
And he begins to fuck you with vigor, the thought of you never being touched making his whole body feel like it’s on fire. Slapping sounds fill the room and his hand comes down onto your mouth when you let out a particularly loud moan of pleasure. The stretch of him is intense, leaves a deep burn on your inner walls, but you can’t help but drip with need.
“Be quiet.” Ethan demands. “God, are you trying to wake mom and dad up?”
Your eyes widen at the remembrance of your parents in the next tent over, and you squirm. He smiles at your reaction.
“Do you like that, angel? Like the thought of mommy and daddy catching you being my little cockslut?” You clench around him, your eyes fluttering shut as you mewl. Ethan grins. “Oh, fuck yeah you do.”
Your cunt creates a creamy ring around him. He grabs your throat again and spits harshly on your face. You cry, the warm feeling of it beginning to slide down your chin. Your tongue lolls out to lick up the remnants around your lips.
“Yeah, lick that shit up. Dirty whore.”
His degrading shouldn’t turn you on as much as it should, but it does.
And then, his cock is leaving you. You sob when he pulls out of you suddenly, but he’s quick to cover your mouth and shush you.
“Turn around. On your hands and knees.”
You obey, not a single rational thought left in you when he impales you on his delicious cock again. He grazes your g spot perfectly, his hands wrapping themselves in your hair as he bends you practically in half to accommodate him. He pounds you at an unnatural pace, his lips placing a light kiss on your shoulder blade. It’s completely different from how he’s using you right now. He looks down and groans at the sight of your virgin blood coating the base of him.
“You’re bleeding on me, sweet girl,” he coos. “I’m popping this cherry so fuckin’ good.”
“Yes, yes! ” you sob, hips bucking back against his. “Let me cum, pleasepleasepleaseplease-“
“Fuck!” Ethan can’t take it anymore, his orgasm drawing closer, and he reaches down to rub your clit in fast circles. “Cum for me, baby.”
You don’t understand how he can do it so easily, can just command you and make you cum with one singular sentence, but he does. You gasp, your orgasm washing over you and your juices squirting all over his cock and balls along with the rest of the blankets below you. Ethan makes a whiny sound, watching you squirt all over him, and his hands grab your jaw and force you to look at his face. His pretty doe eyes look at you with lust, and his mouth falls open as he fills you up. The sound he makes is animalistic, his cock squirting warm ropes against your cervix.
When he slows, he pulls out of you and rests his hand on your back. He watches as his spend trails down your shaking thighs, and he smacks your ass teasingly. You yelp, his fingers going down to stuff his seed back inside you as he chuckles.
“Didn’t know my little stepsister was such a good lay.”

yucky | quinn hughes
quinn hughes x fem!reader
you end up catching the flu but Quinn has your back.
request: Maybe a part 2 to in sickness and health where reader did inevitably get sick and Quinn’s taking care of her now?
prompt: This is humiliating.” “Nothing is humiliating about needing help, love."
beachy’s masterlist🐚
part one
Tumblr media
The gray light of another rainy afternoon filtered through the windows. The lake house was quieter than usual, with Luke and Jack out for the day. This time, the reason wasn’t a sick Quinn, but you, battling the flu.
Quinn sat beside you on the bed, watching your restless sleep. He sighed, his worry evident. When you stirred, he was quick to place a cool hand on your forehead.
You opened your eyes, meeting his concerned gaze. “Hey,” you whispered, your voice hoarse. “You shouldn’t be here. I don’t want you to get sick.”
Quinn shook his head, a small smile tugging at his lips. “In sickness and in health, remember?” He leaned in, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “How are you feeling?”
“Like death,” you muttered, mirroring his words from days before.
He chuckled softly. “I’ll get you some water and medicine. Just rest, okay?”
You nodded weakly, watching as he left the room. Despite your misery, you couldn’t help but feel touched by his care. Moments later, he returned with a glass of water and some medicine.
“Here, take these,” he said gently, helping you sit up. You took the medicine, grimacing at the taste, then laid back down.
“Thank you,” you whispered.
Quinn brushed a strand of hair out of your face, his touch soothing. “It’s nothing. Just focus on getting better.”
As you dozed off again, Quinn busied himself with cleaning up, ensuring the house remained a germ-free zone. He moved quietly careful to not wake you. He wanted to make things as comfortable as possible for you.
Later, you awoke to the sound of Quinn in the kitchen. You could hear him humming softly, the smell of chicken soup wafting through the air. Despite feeling awful, you smiled.
He returned with a bowl of soup, setting it on the nightstand. “Do you think you can eat a little?” he asked, concern evident in his eyes.
You nodded, managing a small smile. “I’ll try.”
Quinn helped you sit up, then handed you the bowl. You took a few sips, the warmth soothing your sore throat. He watched you carefully, making sure you were okay.
“This is humiliating,” you muttered, feeling self-conscious about your state.
Quinn shook his head, his expression serious. “Nothing is humiliating about needing help, love.”
You looked at him, touched by his words. “You’re too good to me, Quinn.”
He smiled, leaning in to kiss your forehead again. “I love you. Now, finish your soup and get some rest.”
Just as you were finishing your soup, the door burst open, and Luke and Jack walked in, carrying a care package.
“We come bearing gifts!” Jack announced dramatically, holding up a bag of various snacks and drinks.
“How’s the patient?” Luke asked, grinning as he approached the bed.
You rolled your eyes, feeling a bit better at the sight of them. “Surviving, barely. What did you guys bring?”
Luke started unpacking the bag. “Ginger ale, crackers, some magazines, and—” he paused for effect, pulling out a stuffed animal, “—this little guy for moral support.”
You laughed, despite yourself. “Thanks, guys. You really know how to spoil a girl.”
Jack plopped down on the edge of the bed, looking at you sympathetically. “You look like death warmed over.”
“Thanks, Jack. That’s exactly what I needed to hear,” you replied sarcastically.
Quinn smirked, watching the banter. “She’s tougher than she looks. You should’ve seen me last week.”
Luke grinned. “Yeah, she handled your ass like a pro. We’re just here to repay the favor.”
Jack nodded, handing you a magazine. “Here, this should keep you entertained while you’re bedridden.”
You accepted it with a smile. “Thanks. You guys are the best.”
“Just don’t get too close,” Luke added, holding up his hands in mock defense. “We’re not trying to catch whatever you’ve got.”
Quinn laughed, shaking his head. “You two are ridiculous.”
Just then, Luke picked up the familiar UMich blanket from the foot of the bed. “Hey, isn’t this—” he paused, realization dawning on his face. “Wait, y/n, you’ve been using this?”
You nodded, amused. “Yeah, it’s really warm.”
Luke immediately dropped the blanket, his face scrunching up in mock disgust. “Yucky.”
Jack burst out laughing. “Wow, Lukey, you really are a germaphobe.”
You chuckled, feeling a warmth spread through your chest. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Quinn rolled his eyes playfully. “Alright, you skid-marks. Let’s give her some peace and quiet. She needs to rest.
Luke and Jack stood up, waving as they headed out. “Feel better soon!” they called in unison.
Quinn turned back to you, his eyes soft with affection. “You’ve got a pretty good support team.”
You smiled, feeling grateful for all of them. “Yeah, I do.”
Quinn helped you lie back down, brushing a kiss on your forehead. “Get some rest, love. I’ll be right here if you need anything.”
As you drifted off to sleep, you felt Quinn’s hand holding yours, his presence a comforting anchor. Despite the flu, you felt incredibly lucky to have him—and his idiotic brothers—in your life.
A week later, you were feeling much better. You and Quinn were lounging on the couch when his phone rang. It was Jack.
“Hey, Jack. What’s up?” Quinn answered.
You could hear Jack’s voice through the phone. “Hey, so… Luke’s feeling sick. Like, really sick. We think he might have caught whatever y/n had.
Quinn glanced at you, a knowing smile on his face. “Oh, really?”
“Yeah, and you guys are the pros at this whole taking-care-of-sick-people thing now, so… could you maybe come help out?”
You couldn’t help but laugh. Quinn grinned, shaking his head. “Sure thing, Jack. We’ll be right over.”
As Quinn hung up, he turned to you. “Looks like it’s our turn to repay the favor.”
You chuckled, standing up. “Let’s go take care of our walking bacteria cell.”
Quinn laughed, grabbing his keys. “I guess what goes around comes around.”
And with that, you both headed out, ready to rescue Luke from his own misery.

. . . .
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains of your cozy beachfront cottage, casting a warm glow over the room. You woke up to the comforting smell of freshly brewed coffee, and the sound of Lando bustling in the kitchen. A smile tugged at your lips as you stretched and got out of bed, following the delicious scent.
In the kitchen, Lando was making pancakes, flipping them with a flourish and a cheeky grin. "Morning, sleepyhead," he greeted, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Morning," you replied, wrapping your arms around him from behind and pressing a kiss to his shoulder. "Pancakes and coffee? You're spoiling me."
"Only the best for you," he said, turning around so he faces you, kissing the top of your head. The simplicity of the moment—a shared breakfast, laughter, and teasing—was perfect. But underneath the surface, there was a restless energy in both of you.
As you sat down to eat, the conversation turned to the pressures you both faced. Lando's racing career was demanding, and your own hectic life left little time for moments like these. The weight of it all had been building up, and you could see the same feelings reflected in Lando's eyes.
"What if we just… escaped for the day?" you suggested on a whim. "No plans, no schedule. Just us and the open road."
Lando's face lit up at the idea. "I love it. Let's do it."
With a quick change of clothes and a packed bag of essentials, lando throws the keys at you, and you jump into his car. Driving is something you both took turns as you loved driving and Lando was the type of guy who'd make sure to consider asking you if you'd want to drive them together which in this case, you wanted to start off the journey. The Harry Styles track "Keep Driving" started playing through the speakers as you turned the key. The song's rhythm seemed to sync perfectly with the pulsing excitement in your veins. As the coastal road outside Monaco stretched out before you, the promise of freedom was intoxicating.
As you drove, the conversations flowed effortlessly. You talked about your fears and dreams, the pressures of your lives, and the desire to break free from it all.
Every so often, Lando would squeeze your hand or glance over with a smile that made your heart flutter. The connection between you felt stronger than ever, deepened by the shared experiences and heartfelt discussions.
The day was filled with spontaneous adventures. You found a hidden beach and took a surprise dip in the crystal-clear water, laughing and splashing like children. Later, you climbed rocky cliffs to find the best views, the exertion forgotten in the face of the breathtaking scenery. Lando’s playful side shone as he challenged you to little races and stole kisses whenever he got the chance.
As evening approached, the weather took a sudden turn. Dark clouds rolled in, and soon, heavy rain began to pour down. You found shelter in a small, quaint diner off the beaten path. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, a stark contrast to the storm outside. Over hot chocolate and a shared dessert, you both found comfort in each other's presence, appreciating the calm amidst the chaos.
The stormy night prompted a moment of reflection. Sitting in the diner, you and Lando discussed the significance of the day’s journey. You realized that no matter the storm outside, as long as you were together, you could weather anything.
Once the storm subsided, you headed back to the car, deciding to keep driving into the night. The road was quiet, lit only by the headlights and the occasional passing car. The conversation drifted to lighter topics, filled with laughter and gentle teasing. The journey seemed endless, but with every mile, you felt more at peace.
As dawn broke, you found yourselves at a beautiful overlook, just in time to watch the sunrise. The sky was painted with soft pastel colors, symbolizing a new beginning. You and Lando sat on the hood of the car, wrapped in a blanket, feeling the warmth of the rising sun. Keep Driving played again softly in the background, reinforcing the theme of moving forward together.
In the quiet morning light, you snuggle closer to Lando, deep sigh leaving your lips, feeling content and grateful for everything. Your career is going great, family and friends doing well and having great long drives with the love of your life. It's all good!
"Hey youuu" You said, looking up at him with adoration. You find his eyes soo beautiful, especially with the rays of sun sparkling in his. Lando took your hand, looking into your eyes with a tender smile and kisses your head.
“Let’s promise to keep driving,” he said, “no matter where the road takes us.”
“Always,” you agreed, sealing the promise with a heartfelt kiss.

But if you want to be tagged in my future work please fill out this form!
rose divider by @/firefly-graphics
Tumblr media
The brothers were the first to be aware of your disappearance, but the news traveled fast between all of the people who were closest and dearest to you. No one knew where you went, but they knew one thing for sure: they were doing anything possible to bring you back home. After weeks of searching every inch of the Devildom, it was becoming apparent that you were no longer in the same realm. This of course sent a new wave of panic through everyone. Where did you go, MC? Why didn’t you tell anyone you were leaving?
❤️Diavolo❤️
If anyone should feel responsible for your disappearance, it’s The Demon Prince. 
He is incredibly perplexed and disturbed by the fact that his human exchange student disappeared right out from under his watchful eye. 
Diavolo usually has a very outgoing and joyous attitude, but it’s not the same since you left.
Instead, he becomes numb. Sad. Determined to do everything he can to find you.
Lucifer had come running to him in a state of panic, informing him that they couldn’t find you.
He rarely saw Lucifer act that way, so he knew it had to be serious.
He joined in on the search for you too. 
Barbatos tried convincing him to stay at the castle, but he couldn't just sit and do nothing. The peace between the human world and the Devildom is at risk.
After days and weeks of searching with no results, he becomes depressed.
He uses every connection, every resource he has to find you.
But he can’t.
Not even the most powerful being in all the Devildom can locate one human.
To disgrace not only the Devildom, but his Father… It's too much to bear. 
I’m such a poor excuse for a demon, how could I lose them so easily?
He sits at his office desk, staring down at the paperwork he’s supposed to be finishing. He's severely behind.
But instead of picking up the pen, his hands are clutching at his auburn hair as tears stream down his cheeks. 
Barbatos walks on him in this state several times.
The sight of the dark, heavy bags under the Prince’s eyes causes a pang of sadness in his heart. He longs to comfort him. 
But the Prince has become distant from him. 
He doesn’t understand why Barbatos doesn’t use his powers to find you in such desperate times. 
He’s confused. Angry. 
He orders Barbatos away, and rests his head into his folded arms, wishing you were wrapped up in them instead. 
Wherever you are, MC, I promise we will find you. We’ll bring you home.
💛Simeon💛
When Simeon learns of your disappearance, he almost doesn’t believe it. 
But when he’s forced to face the reality of your absence, he feels it deep within his heart.
His usual calm demeanor starts to crack, but he wants to stay brave for Luke.
He doesn’t want to scare the young angel. 
At first, he’s restless, pacing through the corridors of Purgatory Hall, trying to think of any way to contribute to your search.
But it’s been weeks. And still no sign of you. 
Now he sits in one of the arm chairs in his bedroom, gazing out the window. 
My little lamb, where have you disappeared to?
A book that he’s given up reading rests on his lap, his fingertips ghosting over the corners of the pages. 
He wishes you were here with him, sitting comfortably in his lap while he whispers sweet nothings into your ear.
His eyes well up with tears at the thought. 
Luke checks in with him often, bringing him updates when he can and suggesting they get out of his room for a while. 
He sits with Luke in a cafe for a while, nursing a cup of coffee while Luke chatters about all of the things he’s going to do with you when you return. 
This should cheer him up, but instead it sends a wave of indescribable sadness washing over him. 
It’s not Luke’s fault, of course. 
He appears to be handling it better than he is. 
Simeon, who normally thrives on the joy he brings others through conversation and gentle smiles, requests to be alone. 
He shuts himself away in his room, finally letting the tears fall. 
His heart burns with grief as his body trembles. 
As a writer, he figures the only thing he can do is compose a letter of his feelings for you.
MC, My love, please return home as soon as you can. Are you safe? I think of you constantly. Your absence brings a great sadness over me that I haven’t felt in quite some time. Even as a well known author, my words alone cannot express how deeply I miss and care for you. I love you, MC. I long to feel the warmth of you by my side once more. -Simeon
💙Luke💙
They try to go easy on telling Luke the news of your disappearance. 
The young angel knew something was wrong when Simeon sat him down, a serious expression painted across his face. 
“W-What?! MC is gone?!” 
His heart is full of sadness and confusion, worried about where you could have possibly ran off to.
You wouldn’t just leave him without telling him where you were going, right?
He tries not to think about that. 
So he puts all his energy into baking. 
Desserts and pastries of all kinds line the kitchen tables and counters of Purgatory Hall. 
Barbatos walks into the kitchen to see flour and a variety of different colored icing all over. 
But there is Luke, frosting on his nose and tears in his eyes, baking away. 
“I-I have to make sure there’s plenty of desserts for them to eat when they return!”
Luke offers several pastries for Barbatos to take to the brothers. 
He doesn’t usually take kindly to them, but he knows they are working hard to find you.
He eventually slows down, growing tired from his baking frenzy. 
Simeon goes to check on him, and finds the little angel asleep at the table, his head cradled in his arms and surrounded by a mountain of cookies he just got done baking. 
He stirs a little when Simeon carries him to bed. 
“M-MC…” he whimpers. “They’ll come back, right?”
He’s half awake now, aware of Simeon tucking him into bed. 
The older angel gives him a sad smile. “Of course Luke, they love you so much. I know they’ll return home soon.”
Luke sniffs, a tear falling down his cheek as he begins to drift back to sleep. 
“I-I miss them…I want them to try all of my desserts…”
Simeon wipes away his tears, attempting to hold back his own.
Luke begins to snore softly, dreaming of baked goods and picnics where you are there to share them with.
🖤Solomon🖤
When you first go missing, Solomon is confused. 
You were just with him, where did you go? Is this some sort of joke?
His worry causes the demon brothers to panic. 
Solomon is never too bothered by anything. He’s seen a lot of things in his lifetime. 
But when you go missing suddenly with no explanation?
That’s something that terrifies him. 
He hears the news from the brothers that your pact is no longer active with them. 
That worries him even more. 
He immediately jumps into action.
He searches the location of where you were last seen and picks up on lingering traces of magic.
That's odd, he thinks. He was proud of how far you've come with your abilities as his apprentice, but he knew this magic was way too strong to be yours.
This was the work of someone much more powerful.
Nonetheless, a flutter of hope rises in his chest. He's one step closer to finding you.
He analyzes the magic, and comes to the conclusion that you were transported through time to a past version of the Devildom.
Once he connects all the dots, he uses Barbatos' power to find you.
Of course, it takes a few tries, but he finds you. 
He let's out a breath of relief as he gathers you into his arms, squeezing you tight.
You sob into his chest as he holds you.
His poor, adorable apprentice. Lost and confused.
"There there, MC. It's going to be alright. We'll get you home soon."
But now he’s stuck there too, with no way to contact the brothers or Diavolo to tell them of your location. 
He could, theoretically return but he wouldn't dare go back to the present without you by his side.
Lucifer about murdered him already, and you desperately needed his help.
He secretly couldn't bear the thought of leaving you alone.
But this will be interesting, he thought.
Let's see how this plays out.

Spencer Reid x Reader
Summary: Reader is on bedrest, nearing the end of a taxing pregnancy. Bored and restless, she hatches a plan to keep her hands busy.
Word Count: 2.5k
Warnings: Reader is pregnant, tooth-rotting fluff, self doubt, a joke about gaslighting.
A/N: sorry for the hiatus. I hated it too my loves, life is just... crazy. Also first Spencer fic?? word.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I just have questions.”
“You always have questions,” she hummed, gliding her scissors across the purple fabric. “The only answer I have for you is that I’m on house arrest and restless. Gotta find some way to pass the time.”
“And tearing up my shirts is the best use of that time?”
“House. Arrest,” she clicked.
Spencer scoffed, smiling at her quip. The doctor had put her on bed rest for the last few weeks of her pregnancy, citing the stress of their job and the physical demand was too much for the baby. They had never planned on her continuing in the field during the final trimester anyway, but the doctor was adamant about as little stress as possible. “Bed rest isn’t the same as house arrest, lovey.”
“Sure feels like it,” she said, throwing a scrap over her shoulder onto the floor. “First, I had to give up sushi and my wine, now I have to sit around and be a proper housewife?”
“If it’s any consolation, you’ve never been a proper housewife,” Spencer said, cringing as soon as the words left his mouth. “I-I mean, in the traditional sense—you’re a hardworking woman with a rather successful career—”
“And now my husband is verbally abusing me,” she sighed, though no malice was in her tone. Very clearly a joke.
“I wouldn’t say—”
“And now he’s gaslighting me!” (Y/N) nearly giggled, trying hard to keep the argument going. Spencer joined in on her laughter.
“I…I’ll shut up now.”
She turned on her chair, looking up at Spencer. “Normally, I’d be against such a thing, but silence is appreciated in my time of solitude and sewing.”
“I didn’t know you could sew,” Spencer mumbled, rubbing her shoulder. 
“My dad taught me the basics,” she explained, placing the fabric into a pile. “I was always getting rips and tears in my clothing. He claimed it was a valuable life skill for me to learn, but I think he was just sick of doing the mending himself.”
“I love learning new things about you,” Spencer said softly, his eyes practically pooling with affection.
She snorted. “It’s not the most interesting fact about me.”
“Every new fact is the most interesting fact about you.”
“Okay sap,” she pinched his waist, causing him to flinch away from her. “You better get going to work before Hotch throws a hissy fit.”
“How could I?” Spencer had already moved over to the fridge, throwing the essentials in his lunch bag. “You’re tearing up my work clothes.”
“You haven’t worn this shirt in months,” she pointed at him with the scissors in her hand. “I should know, you packed it away for the move nearly five months ago. If anything, I’m giving it a new life.”
“A new life as…?”
“Nope,” she shook her head, rising from the dining table. With a few careful steps she made it over to the fridge. “Not telling. It’ll ruin the surprise.”
“So it’s a project for me, then?”
All it took was a pointed look and a raised brow for Spencer to get the hint. He gave her a quick kiss, a loving goodbye to both her and their growing bundle of joy before leaving.
“Profilers.”
What started as a supposed and rare office day turned into a five day case in Wisconsin. Not unusual, given their line of work, but it was still exhausting to be away from his family for so long. Spencer decided exactly thirty hours into the case he’d never take the fact he worked with his wife for granted again.
His relief was found the second he returned to their home, opening the door to the smell of cookies and the sight of his wife hanging up their jackets in the hallway.
“Spence!” (Y/N) exclaimed, all but dropping the remaining coats to embrace him. “I didn’t know you’d be back tonight, Pen made it seem like you guys were still going to be there until tomorrow!”
“We had a new lead that wrapped it up rather quickly,” Spencer said, hugging her a bit tighter, not ready to let go of her warmth. “You’re unpacking?”
Their attention was turned to the boxes on the floor. All but one of their winter coats had already been removed and hung in the entryway closet. “I told you, I’ve been restless—” 
“Honey, you’re supposed to be resting,” Spencer smoothed her hair, pressing a kiss to her temple. “This could’ve waited until I got home.”
“I want to be settled before she comes, you know?” (Y/N) tried to explain, a hand moving protectively on her bump. “Nesting and all that.”
“How much more unpacking did you do when I was gone?” He didn’t need to ask, he already saw the pile of broken down boxes in their living room. If he had to guess, she’d made quite a dent in them. 
“Only a little,” she argued. “After I finished my sewing project the mountain of boxes overwhelmed me—it’s silly that you think I could’ve stopped myself from doing it.”
He laughed. “I guess so.”
“I mean, who buys a house around the same time they’re expecting a baby? It’s maddening!”
He bit his tongue, knowing any statistic that popped into his mind to correct her wasn’t worth sharing with his extremely pregnant wife. He already learned his lesson when he corrected her on the history of bubblegum a few weeks ago. 
“Maddening,” he agreed.
“So what if I unpacked a few boxes? I finally found my KitchenAid! Packed with the baking trays if you could believe it.”
“That explains the cookies,” Spencer said softly, smiling at his wife like she held the world in her hands. “Please tell me that other than the few boxes and cookies you spent your time off of your feet and resting?”
“Would I lie to you?” She crossed her arms, pursing her lips.
He gave her a trying look.
“Don’t answer that.” 
“Will you please go sit down? I’ll bring you a plate of those delicious smelling cookies and you can interrogate me about my extremely exciting trip to Wisconsin,” Spencer rubbed her back lovingly, trying his best to convince her.
“Jokes on you, I was just about to go sit down anyway,” she kissed his cheek, patting his jaw lovingly. He needed to shave. “Now I get cookies brought to me by my handsome husband.”
It was chocolate chip cookies she had made, her mother’s recipe as far as he could tell. It was her go-to when she made cookies, save for the peanut butter blossoms she made for the holidays. Spencer loved either kind, especially because they were made with the loving care of his wife. Placing five of the still-warm cookies on a plate, he walked to their living room, his wife already making good on her promise of sitting on their new couch.
She claimed they didn’t need a new one, but Spencer made a rather convincing argument, the dark green of the new couch would fit much better into the aesthetic of their new home. (Y/N) didn’t have much of a leg to stand on, given her old couch was a ratty grey one she had since college. It was also really ugly, a fact Spencer chose to keep to himself.
Sitting on their—rather beautiful—couch beside his wife was a purple teddy bear, the striped fabric looking familiar. “You made a bear…?”
(Y/N) quickly tried hiding the stuffed animal behind her back. “What? No.”
“(Y/N),” Spencer chided lightly, sitting down beside her, the plate of cookies nearly forgotten on their coffee table. “I saw the bear.”
“I didn’t have time to wrap it,” she explained, pulling it out from behind her. “Again, wasn’t expecting you until tomorrow…”
With the purple bear in his hands, it was clear his suspicions were correct. It was made out of the shirt, the striped purple one she had cut up days prior. “You made this?”
“I did,” she nodded, feeling bashful. “I convinced a friend to let me borrow her sewing machine to finish it. I tried hand stitching, but my patience was growing thin, you can only prick your finger enough times before nearly giving up.”
He laughed at that. “I see.”
“To clarify the bear isn’t for you,” she said quickly, sensing his confusion and possible disappointment. “I mean, in a way it is? But it’s for her—”
“I figured that much,” he laughed again.
“I just thought, y’know, given our jobs and how often you or I might be away from her,” (Y/N) shrugged, placing both hands on top of her stomach. “It’d be nice to have a piece of you behind. So… I made the bear out of your shirt.”
“It’s really—”
“It still took like, a stupid amount of hours,” she continued. “And even if you hate it or think it’s stupid, please be gentle with your critique. I know the eyes are wonky and—”
“It’s a very thoughtful—”
“I figured you’d like the purple shirt I chose, but I was hesitant because you loved that shirt, it was the one I bought you for your birthday years ago, the one you told me I shouldn’t have bought you but I did it anyway—”
“My love,” Spencer placed his hands on top of hers. “You need to breathe.”
His shoulders raised, inhaling deeply, hoping she’d mirror his movements. To his surprise, she followed along instantly. 
“Better?”
“A little.”
“Before you cut me off again,” Spencer chucked, looking at her in that sickening way he always did, the kind of way that made her want to melt into the couch. “I was trying to tell you how much I loved it, the idea, the execution, everything about it.”
“You do?”
“Of course I do,” he mumbled. “To think about her snuggling with this, obviously when she’s old enough to be left with stuffed animals—around the one year mark or so—especially cuddling with it when I’m away? I-I don’t know what to say…”
She could see the tears forming on his face, afraid they’d fall. “Oh no, I didn’t mean for you to cry!”
“Happy tears, my love,” Spencer clarified. “And perhaps a bit of mourning for one of my favorite shirts.”
“You haven’t worn it in a while,” she tried to argue.
“You haven’t worn your wedding dress in a while,” he teased, pulling her into his side. “Should I go and cut it up for a heartfelt gift for our daughter, too?”
“Hm, perhaps when she gets married. Could be her ‘something old’?”
Spencer’s face blanched, flashes of a distant future in which he was walking his little girl—someone he hadn’t even met yet—down the aisle. “I’m not ready for that. She’s not allowed to get married, ever.”
“Spence, she doesn’t even have a name yet, of course she’d not getting married anytime soon,” (Y/N) giggled, her laughter like a bell. His worried heart immediately felt at ease, the medicinal properties of her laugh was something he wanted to study.
“We should probably get around to that,” Spencer nodded, thinking back to their list of potential names.
“Probably.”
Her sweater felt like heaven against his fingers, soft fibers tickling his senses as he rubbed her side, enjoying the feeling of her next to him. “I’m just so ready to meet her, to hold her, to love her,” he sighed.
“Me too,” she said, her tone matching his entirely. “I want to be more sweet about it, but I’m so ready to not be pregnant anymore.”
“Just a few more weeks,” Spencer nodded, knowing the toll the pregnancy was taking on his wife. “We’ll celebrate with a dinner of all the foods and drinks you had to give up for most of this year.”
“We’ll also have a baby,” (Y/N) added.
“I know, but I figured you would be placated by the idea of a fun dinner,” Spencer smiled. “On top of our daughter being here.”
“God I miss sushi,” (Y/N) moaned, head turned towards their ceiling. “Yes, okay, a fun dinner would be excellent. Snuggling our perfect girl while inhaling a spicy tuna roll from that place downtown, sounds like a dream.”
“Well, preferably inhaling it away from our daughter, but yes, that sounds nice,” Spencer smiled softly.
“Our daughter…” (Y/N) said, looking down at her baby bump. “I still can’t believe we’re having a baby. Like, genetically fifty percent me and fifty percent you—one hundred percent our legal responsibility.”
“That’s typically how it works…”
“We’re not going to ruin her, are we?” She asked, turning to look at her husband. “I mean, with the work we do, how often we’ll likely be away…”
“She has her new bear,” Spencer said, his voice softer than silk. He pulled the bear into her lap, drawing her attention to it. “You already thought of something so kind to give her, to know we’re going to be with her even when we’re gone.”
“It’s only your shirt though,” she sighed, feeling too emotional about a silly bear. “She’ll only think of you.”
“Make another one,” Spencer offered. “You have that green blouse with the lipstick stain on it—the one you insisted you could get the mark out of?”
“I never got it out..."
“Cut around it,” he laughed lightly. “Even if you decide to not make another bear, rabbit or whatever animal your beautiful mind comes up with, she’ll know how much you love her.”
“You think?”
Spencer hugged the bear tightly, squeezing it as hard as he could. “Angel, I can feel the love you put into this bear. I know she will too.”
She smiled at that. 
“I know how scary this all is,” Spencer reiterated. “I mean, I’m terrified. She’s going to be so little, so reliant on us, so fragile. But you know what else?”
(Y/N) tilted her head up. “What else?”
“She’s going to be perfect,” he said lowly, honestly, truly. “I just know when we meet her for the first time, all of those fears are going to just melt away.” His fingers wrapped between hers, squeezing them just tight enough, enough to convey every emotion he was feeling in that moment. “And even if they don’t? Even if we both are constantly freaking out and taking her to the doctor all the time or wrapping everything in bubble wrap, we’ll get to do it together, as a team.”
“We make a good team,” she agreed.
“The best team.”
She leaned her head on his shoulder, hands still intertwined. “Thank you, I needed to hear that.”
“It’s the truth,” Spencer said, love oozing from his lips. “We’ll be ready for her.”
“I know,” she hummed in contentment, enjoying the moment. “I already did so much unpacking when you were gone.”
“Please let me do the rest, angel.”
She laughed lightly, patting his arm.
“No.”
BONUS:
Spencer had been going through their closet, trying to find a specific shirt for work—the one that matched a green tie he had in mind. “My love, was there another box of shirts hanging around? Or is everything already unpacked?”
(Y/N) placed the book she had been reading in her lap, looking towards their closet. “I think so? Why, is something missing?”
He walked out of the closet, hands on his hips. “I think a few of my shirts are missing.”
She bit her lip. “Uh… no, I don’t think there’s any shirts missing. You must be remembering wrong.”
Spencer blinked, posture unchanged.
“Which… would be impossible because you don't remember anything wrong,” she groaned, rolling out of their bed and planting both feet onto the ground. “Fine, okay. You’re missing a few shirts.”
His lip quirked, a smile tugging up one corner. “Casualties of your sweet gift, I imagine?”
“Shut up,” she swatted the air, not even in his general direction. “I couldn’t get the pattern right. The online print out was terribly misleading.”
He laughed. “I’m sure it was, angel.”
“It was!”
He took a few gentle steps over to her, wrapping her in his arms and kissing her hairline. “I believe you.”
“Thank you,” she mumbled.
He kissed her again, this time, on her lips.
“But we do have to replace those shirts.”

High Tolerance Masterlist
pairings: modern!bestfriend!Eddie x bisexual!fem!reader
plot: you and Eddie decide to have a calm day before your Christmas party. and, for the first time since you met this year, you find clarity.
cw: cannabis consumption, nicotine indulgence, a dash of spice, gentle angst
wc: 3.2k
note: this is a one-off of my High Tolerance series, as well as my submission for @littlexdeaths's Christmas Event, choosing prompt 10: ghosts of Christmas past. I love you, Mari. Merry Chrysler <3
This is a Christmas present for one of my lovely best friends, @jo-harrington who has made a huge impact in my life, my heart, and my writing. Thank you for all the love you've shown me. I don't take any of it for granted.
Tumblr media
“No, what I’m saying is that I think a man is lame if he won’t let a woman peg him.”
“That’s over dramatic.”
“What, you don’t agree with me?”
“No, I just think you’re simplifying it.”
“Are you saying that you wouldn’t let a woman peg you?”
“I didn’t say that.” 
“Ha!”
Eddie shook his head, carrying the last of the Kroger bags to your kitchen. “Listen, all I’m saying is that I don’t think you can judge someone like that. What if they’re straight?”
You took two of the heavier bags from him before placing them on the counter. “Well then I have more incentive to judge.” He rolled his eyes. “Would you go close the door?”
“You’re ruthless. Absolutely not,” he responded before doing exactly what you asked.
Eddie had been a big help, prepping for your Christmas party the following night as co-hosts. The decision on where to hold it was easy: your apartment was slightly bigger than his, not to mention Eddie was still figuring out how to decorate his new apartment.
Steve and Robin offered, but Eddie had been adamant that it was him and his Weirdo who would do the best job. The A-List guest list consisted of you two, Steve, Robin, Gareth, Grant, and Jeff. 
While you’d gone home to see your mom and sister for Thanksgiving, Eddie’s bandmates had surprised him with the news that they were officially planning to move to Atlanta after college graduation in May. Thus, you'd been left to your own devices until now.
Eddie had made the first few weeks of December as festive as possible, surprising you with peppermint hot chocolates and the worst Christmas movies you’d ever seen. You’d begged him for a classic, like Elf or It’s a Wonderful Life, but he’d strategically saved those for the week of Christmas itself. 
Without any explanation, Eddie pulled something out of his tote bag. It was a small box, wrapped in red and white striped wrapping paper with a ridiculously big bow on top.
You scowled at him. “Eddie. No.”
He grinned. “Yes.”
“No!”
“Yes!”
Shaking your head, you stated, “We said no presents.”
An overdramatically apologetic expression filled his face. “My fingers crossed unexpectedly when we said that.”
“That’s very convenient.”
“I thought so, too.”
He was insufferable.
You sighed, raising your hands. “Eddie, I can’t accept it.” Before you could think to move, he grabbed your hand and shoved it into your palm. “It’s already in your hand.”
Groaning, you conceded. “Fine! Fine.”
“Yes!” he exclaimed before shoving his hands behind his back, failing to hide his smile.
Rolling your eyes, you tore the paper and delved inside.
“It’s…oil,” you stated.
Eddie raised his pointer finger, catching your attention. “A very specific kind of oil. Delta-8.”
“Did you give me drugs for Christmas?” you asked.
“There’s no better time.” He wasn’t wrong. “Besides, you’re making that beer cheese and I thought it’d go great.”
“That’s perfect, actually,” you said seriously. “Thank you.”
“No problem.”
“You know, I have a secret.”
Pages ripped from your latest notebook rested in your pocket. Actually, they weren’t exactly restful. They felt quite restless, burning a hole in your pants and your mind. The ink clogged your throat, the words swirling together in your head, preventing any clarity from forming. 
“Which is?”
Here this guy was, your certified best friend standing beside you after a year and a half of silence. His presence in your life came with open arms and a struggle for pure vulnerability. You’d had your moments over the last seven months, what with your pasts coming up and all of the memories that felt like stories the moment they were shared. 
Give it to him, you thought. Come on, do it.
“I actually had all of my toes crossed when we said no presents,” you said finally, fingers reaching toward your back pocket. 
His eyebrows lifted. “That’s very convenient.”
“Yeah, I thought so, too.”
The pads of your fingertips grazed the paper gently before you reached around him to grab a tiny cardboard box resting on your kitchen table.
Coward.
“How did I not notice that?” he asked, taking it from you.
You shrugged. “I’m the master of disguise.”
“Clearly,” he muttered before opening the top of the box slowly. He made a show of it, closing one eye and trying to peer into the darkness. You giggled as soon as he saw what was inside.
“A joint, huh?” You nodded, biting your lip. “All for me?”
“All for you.”
He placed a hand on his chest, giving you a big smile. “That’s extremely heartfelt, sweetheart. Thank you.”
You tried to keep your smile from faltering, that note starting to singe your skin through the denim. 
Give it to him, you thought again. Do it. Do it now.
“Do you want some beer cheese?” you asked.
“Under one condition,” he said, holding up a finger. Your eyebrow quirked up. “You can’t down it like you did last time.”
You scoffed. “Oh, come on! That’s not fair!”
“Those are the rules, Weirdo.”
“Ugh,” you grumbled. “Fine. Come on.”
Tumblr media
Eddie had been shocked when you picked him up. Your face was nearly bare, wearing neutral eye shadow fading into a charcoal gray with thin-winged eyeliner and maroon lipstick. It was the first time he’d seen you without eyes completely coated in darkness. 
It was startling.
You were dazzling.
Donning a black turtleneck, jeans, and combat boots, you flitted around your kitchen as you measured how much oil you’d pour into the cheese. 
And, okay. Eddie didn’t mean to look at your ass. Scouts honor. However, you bent down to grab a pot from your cabinet and he couldn’t help but look. He could admire how well your jeans fit you, couldn't he?
In the midst of his perusing, he noticed paper in your back right pocket. He found it curious. It couldn’t have been your grocery list—you’d used your Notes app for that. What were you hiding?
“When do the boys come in?” you asked.
Eddie blinked, tearing his eyes away just in time to meet yours. “Oh, the band?” You nodded before turning the burner on low. “Uh, yeah. They come in at nine-thirty tomorrow.”
“And you’re sure you wanna sleep over tonight?”
He shrugged. “Only if you want to.”
“We’ll see if I get sick of you by then.”
Eddie snorted before moving past you to grab some Pringles from your cabinet. “After my killer present? Nah, I don’t think so, sweetheart.”
“Don’t sweetheart me, mister,” you said playfully before gasping. He jumped back just in time as you thrusted a cheese-covered wooden spoon in his direction. “Damn, Eddie, get your own Pringles! Those are for the party!”
He moved to the back corner of the kitchen, quickly shoving a Pringle in his mouth. As he held the can like it was the Ark of the Covenant, he grinned at you before giving a chip a rather loud crunch.
“That fucking does it!” you exclaimed, leaping towards him.
The two of you fought to claim the Pringles can for yourselves. Eddie couldn’t help but giggle the entire time, loving each touch you shared, even if it was so you could hit him. 
He was grateful he’d met you. There was something extraordinary about the way you fell into each other, effortless in nature. The hesitation you once held with one another had dethawed, replaced with a promise that you’d catch each other when you fell. Even now, after you nearly slipped onto the floor.
Eddie caught you, arm scooping under your waist just in time before your head met the tile.
Maybe there was a time and a place to say how he felt. Maybe it could be today or tomorrow after the party. Christmas morning or New Year’s Eve. But when he gazed into your bewildered eyes, he reflected on everything you’d opened up to him about over the last seven months. The pain, the betrayal. You needed a friend, not another messy situation that would ultimately hurt you. 
So, for now, he focused on the here and now. And by the end of the night, he’d solve the case of the mysterious note.
Tumblr media
The south didn’t do snow. 
It was a made up concept, some nearly forgotten folklore created when a hint of ice formed along mountainsides and frozen faucets. When it came to winter, the grass resembled wheat and the spindly trees towered above the cities. 
And there you were with Eddie, out on your tiny balcony as you had your nightly cigarette and waited for spiked cheese to kick in.
Eddie had been rambling about a few lines of his latest song that he couldn’t quite make right, needing a better word than beaming that still held two syllables.
You’d stared out at the street, but something happened the moment you looked back at him. He was leaning against the railing, going back and forth from placing his unlit cigarette between his teeth and removing it so he could talk. Your gaze fell to his lips, watching his constant back and forth.
For a moment, perhaps in a trick of the light, an image flashed in your mind. Eddie on his knees, hands curling around your thick thighs, smirking up at you with a look of mischief. His eyes, alight with darkness that swirled into something magnificent before dipping his head under your skirt and pressing a kiss against your— 
Then it was gone, replaced with Eddie’s final attempt to put the cigarette between his teeth and light the damn thing. The second he let out his first wave of smoke, you felt your breath hitch in your throat.
Because you were starting to think about his mouth around something else.
“Flaring?” he pondered, taking another thoughtful drag. 
The chill of forty degree weather did nothing to stop the fire rushing to your core. His unoccupied hand bounced along the railing as he thought. There was a crude kind of desire in you to grab it and place it against the ache, relieving the tension that was starting to twist inside you.
“Flooding?” 
The wetness sat in your underwear, diabolically abandoned by the man in front of you who continued rambling on. The wind rustled his hair, sending wisps into his mouth that he had to pull away. Why weren’t your fingers tugging at the strands, claiming his lips with your own?
Your impulse control felt, well, out of control. 
“Surging?”
The racing of your heart was made worse the harder you pulled on that cigarette, the clouds you created only growing. But there was an emotion billowing in that smoke, signaling to you that something had shifted.
You had shifted, as quickly as the season. 
Seven months. Three seasons.
Not nearly enough time to catch your bearings or build a stable foundation. However, you were starting to notice more and more that there was something else hiding behind every sleepover and good morning text. 
This was an awakening.
An awakening that was surely going to ruin everything.
But when he asked what you thought of blazing instead of beaming, your heart fluttered and you answered without hesitation, “It’s perfect.”
Tumblr media
Eddie watched with amusement as you floundered over the kitchen table like a fish, definitely feeling the effects of the beer cheese. You were starting to look like an inflatable balloon man on his final wave.
“We…” you trailed, holding up your pointer finger. “Weeee need to put up decorations.”
He laughed, leaning over to boop you on the nose. “Yooou need a timeout, Weirdo.”
You let out a sound resembling a growl. “Noooo.”
“Did you just growl at me?” he asked.
Shrugging, you poked him repeatedly before letting out another growl. “Bark, bark,” you said, lowering the pitch of your voice. “Hiss, hiss.”
“You’re fucked, sweetheart,” he commented, grabbing your finger and placing it back on the table.
Your eyes widened slightly before you snorted and waved your hand around. “Get your head out of the gutter, Munson.”
Before he could respond, your fingers were moving back to him, snatching his hand and holding it firmly. Seemingly without thought, you brought it up to your mouth and pretended to bite him. Eddie tried to yank it back, but you were surprisingly strong, lips hovering over his skin.
In a quick flicker, Eddie found himself lost in an image of your teeth clamping down on his throat, wrists caught in your grasp as you pinned him to your bed. You, grinding your hips against his in a frenzy, chasing friction as he bucked in an attempt to reach the same release. 
What he wouldn’t give for you to draw blood.
“Oh, so now you’re a vampire?” he asked with a cough, trying not to let the pink meet his cheeks. Or his poor dick.  
Without a word, you gave him a smirk and bit him.
Eddie jumped with a yelp, almost knocking his chair over if it hadn’t been for your death grip.
You let out one of the loudest guffaws he’d ever heard, warming his heart as he settled back into his wobbly chair. He couldn’t help but laugh along, but he unfortunately couldn’t keep his cock from getting hard.
What was it about you that drove him fucking insane?
“You’re so easy to freak out,” you said with a toothy smile, running your thumb over the bite mark you’d left behind.
Or just easy to turn on, he thought.
In the minutes that passed, you sat in silence, mutually gentle as you enjoyed your shared high. He studied your mark on him, the curve of each individual tooth imprinted on the skin between his thumb and pointer finger. If only he could keep it from returning to normal. 
If only he could tell you how he felt.
“You’re holding my hand,” he observed quietly.
“Oh! Sorry,” you replied softly. But you didn’t release your grasp.
Eddie chuckled, face growing hot as he tried his hand at bravery. “You’re all good. It’s cute.”
“Cute?” you asked, lifting your head from the table. 
He shrugged. “Yeah, I’d say so.”
“I like your hand. It’s warm,” you mumbled. Your tracing became languid, slow and gentle.
“Yeah?” His breath was starting to go ragged, entirely blown away by your forward nature. Of course, he knew it was because of the weed. That’s all it was to you. But, to him, it meant everything. He never wanted you to stop.
You nodded. “Yeah. It feels really nice. Softer than I expected.”
Then a thought bloomed.
“Can I ask you a very stupid question?”
“Always.”
The knuckles on his unoccupied hand drummed against the table as he asked, “What’s in your back pocket?”
Your head snapped up. “Eddie…”
“Is it bad?” You avoided his gaze. “You’re making it sound like a ransom note or nuclear codes.”
“No, that’s not…” you trailed before sighing. “That’s not it.”
Eddie watched as you deflated, shoulders hunching forward. What was going on?
“Then what is it?”
You barely gave him a glance before averting your gaze again. “I wrote you a note but I’m too scared to give it to you.”
“Why?”
“It’s cheesy.” Your hand retreated from his, leaving his palm to freeze instantly. “But sometimes if I’m not sure what to do for presents, I like to write notes. It’s just, after a while, I decided not to give it to you.”
“You could read it to me.”
Scoffing, your tone grew sarcastic. “Read it? Right. Sure.”
“Come on, Weirdo.” You bit your lip. “Do it for the spirit of Christmas.”
“Absolutely not.”
“If not for Santa, then for me.”
That’s when he finally found your eyes, pooling with indecision. 
Without a word, you stood up and pulled the paper out of your back pocket.
“Eddie,” you started, sending flutters to his chest immediately. “I know that we haven’t been friends for a year yet, but you’re probably the best friend I’ve ever had.” He watched you take a deep breath, desperate to see what was settling in your eyes. “I don’t say this to put pressure on you, but to tell you that your…” another deep breath, “friendship has changed my life.”
Your glossy eyes lifted. 
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I can’t finish this,” you replied. 
Eddie felt his heart crumble the second you crushed the paper between your fingers. He jumped up immediately, quick to try and grab the note. 
“Hey, don’t do that,” he whispered, shaking his head. You took a step back, mirroring his action. “Come on, it’s not stupid. I wanna know what else you have to say.”
“It’s cheesy.”
“It’s genuine.”
He went to take it again, but you moved your hand away.
“It’s unoriginal.”
“It’s authentic.”
One more attempt at snagging the note resulted in you taking three steps back. “I hate Christmas,” you whispered. Out of the corner of his eye, Eddie found your hands shaking. “I can’t control the passage of time and whether you’re going to be here next year or not. What if I give this to you and then in six months you realize how stupid I am and you just go?”
He said your name gently, but you shook your head.
“I can see it now, you know? You’ll find the note lodged in some pocket somewhere and wonder how it got there. And you’ll be so livid that you’ll go and set it on fire and light your cigarette with the flame.”
Before you could continue your dark forebodings, Eddie fingers wrapped around your trembling, tight-knuckled fist. The contact set him ablaze as he felt the tension build. Here you two were, connected by a bittersweet tug of war.
“Hey,” he whispered, trying to keep his voice steady. But how could he? You were searching his eyes, crestfallen and confused. He could say the same for himself. “I know it sucks to open up to people you don’t know are gonna stay.”
He heard the catch in your breath before tears fell down your cheeks.
“I’m here to stay,” he said, more confident now. “You’re not sick of me yet, are you?”
You suddenly chuckled, shaking your head as you wiped your tears away. “Anything but.”
“Then there’s nothing to worry about, okay?” You nodded, tucking your crimson lips inward, disappearing into your mouth as if you were ridding yourself of speech for his sake. “Let this Christmas be this Christmas.”
“Okay.”
“And then we’ll get super cross-faded tomorrow night and then we’ll get cross-faded on New Year’s—” A watery laugh rippled through you, piercing the air and his heart. Finally, his favorite sound. “Then we’ll just keep going and figure shit out along the way. Sound cool?”
“Yeah. Sounds cool.”
Eddie didn’t know what to do next, refusing to think before he enveloped you in a tight hug. Your arms quickly squeezed him back, exchanging heartbeats under thick sweaters.
“You know what?” Eddie asked, resting his chin on your head. “I think you’ve earned a good holiday movie.”
“Which is?” you asked, voice muffled in his shirt.
The edges of Eddie’s lips quirked up as he said, “When Harry Met Sally.”

808’s blared through the speakers, sending vibrations throughout the floor. Music could be felt in your chest and you couldn’t help but smile. Seeing your boyfriend in the booth, in his essence, made your heart swell with pride.
It was always fascinating to see the man that clings to you most nights, his face in your neck. The way he groans when you shift, unintentionally adding space between you two. The way he pulls you back and whines your name or “baby,” his favourite way to address you. The same man who can’t fall asleep without his hand inside your t-shirt, holding you close. Needing you to feel safe.
Seeing him work in his element, so assertive and sure of himself. A perfectionist, honing on his vision until it comes to fruition, left you in complete awe of him. Your eyes traveled from his hat that covered most of his face, to his little nose and lips pursed in concentration as he listened back to what was recorded.
“Ah lemme do that ONE more time” Mark announced into the mic, evidently getting restless from having to keep doing retakes. He once again closed his eyes and delivered the line.
“Woooo!”
“Ok, nice let’s keep that one” He listened back to the song, bobbing his head with a satisfied smile. Mark was so focused on recording that he didn’t even notice when you came into the studio. You said hello to his team and a couple of his friends, before making yourself comfortable on the sofa. Taking your slides off, you got comfortable and sat crossed legged as you watched Mark. Digging into your bag, you rustled around to grab a bag of candy which made Haechan’s ears instantly perk up. He ran towards you and got on his knees with his hands open as if mimicking Oliver Twist. “Please, my queen.” He said in a cutesy voice, making everyone laugh and you rolled your eyes. You gave him a fist fill of sweets as he thanked you.
Mark stepped out of the booth and his eyes widened when met with yours from across the room. His face instantly relaxed into a smile. “Bab-What’s going on here?” He walked towards you, giggling and pushed Haechan onto the floor. Making him fake cry for attention. “Yo cry somewhere else.. Lemme say hi to my girl.” He joked before turning to you. “Hi baby” Jumping into his arms, you melted into his touch and you both swayed side to side. Mark planted kisses across your face, before mumbling "I missed you" into your lips. “Alright y’all I’m taking five.” Mark took a seat and pulled you onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around you and rested his chin on your shoulder. His busy schedule allowed times like this to come about less often than you'd like, so you both cherished every second together. He whined about how tired he was but holding you like this was just the recharge he needed. As he planted another kiss to your jaw, Chenle commented on how soft Mark gets around you and his everyone teased him. This made his face flush with a tint of pink and he buried his face further into your neck. He mumbled “leave me alone, I’m a tough guy.” Chuckling at his actions, you dipped into your bag once again to pull out a handful of candies and presented it to Mark. “Here, I got you some sugar for energy.” You kissed his cheek.
Mark’s face lit up as he shoved them all into his mouth hungrily, he was such a guy. Giving you one last kiss, he grabbed your waist to prop you up so he could stand up.
“Ok, lemme go finish this verse.” He went back into the booth and continued recording for a while. It was nice. Hanging out with everyone like this. You thought to yourself. 20 minutes later, Mark came back out with his mouth open, asking for you to feed him. So you did as you were asked. A sweet and a kiss, for every break he took. This went on for a while until everyone decided to go get some food, leaving you and Mark alone. He stepped out of the booth once again, grabbing the packet from you and plopping himself next to you on the sofa. “Hey! That’s mine!” You protested with a smack on his arm. “Yeah?” He moved closer to you, so his face was inches away from yours and his lips curled into a cheeky grin. “Watch me.” He teased you as you tried to grab the packet back but he was too quick for you. Every time you felt as though you’re about to take a hold of it, he’d move his lanky arms out of your reach. Making you whine and sulk, which was what he wanted. Mark loved teasing and getting a reaction out of you.
“You’re so pretty when you whine like this baby.. Here, you can have one.” He said, popping a sweet in between his pursed lips.
Leaning in slowly, you placed your hand on his thigh for support. Your heart was beating in your ears. Even though you have shared countless kisses with Mark by now, it never failed to spin your world like it was the first time. Your lips hovered over his and you swiped your tongue over his bottom lip, making him grab your wrist. You both leaned in painfully close and you connected your lips by taking a bite out of the sweet. Breaking out in giggles, you pulled away and fell back onto the sofa, swallowing it.
“Come back here.” Mark grabbed your face and pressed his lips to yours as he pulled you back onto his lap. This time, the kiss felt more heated as his tongue hungrily entered your mouth. He snuck his hands under your shirt to feel your skin. His hands ran up and down your back, deepening the kiss. Chests rising dramatically up and down, his chin rested on your plush breast as he left soft, wet kisses down your jaw. The world began disappearing when you felt him twitch under you, making you moan. He brought his lips back up to yours to swallow your pretty sounds as his hands travelled down and into your sweats. He grabbed a handful of your ass inside your clothes as his fingers grazed your core. Mark winced at the contact. “Fuck baby, so wet for me.” He began circling your entrance, spreading your wet. As his finger began sliding inside you, you heard the boys making their way back and you grabbed Mark’s shoulder in sheer panic.
"Mark!" You yelped. He retrieved his hand back and fell into your chest with a groan. The door unlocked and everyone barged into the studio, changing the atmosphere completely. “Urm.. are we interrupting something?” Haechan asked, eyeing you both and you couldn’t help but blush. Struggling to form a coherent sentence.
“Uhh.. no.. we.. we were just..-
“We were just sharing sweets, weren’t we baby?” Mark said with a smirk before he brought his finger into his mouth to taste you.
“So sweet.”

Here is a little snippet (actually the first chapter) of my WIP
When the Sun Found Me
It's focuses on a Modern!Ominis Gaunt with a really cute guide dog and is just over all really sweet and fluffy!! ~ 1,300 words
Here you go @bookie-bookdust and @ravenwind-75 I hope you enjoy!
~~~~~~
Science has always been Ominis’s least favorite subject. Not only were the practical labs difficult for a plethora of reasons, he also found the concepts hard to grasp.
Usually, Sebastian would be right there beside him, but the boy decided to move on to the more advanced courses their private school offered. Ominis couldn’t blame him. He wanted to get into biochemistry after high school, so he was in advanced physics this year.
Which is how Ominis found himself tucked into the far left table of Mr. Sharp's chemistry class at eight in the morning. Mari was curled up under his stool, her warm, pointed ear caught between his right forefinger and thumb. The soft fur felt familiar and comforting, grounding him in the room. The German shepherd had been with him for the past five years, diligently guiding him through life. She was his best friend aside from Sebastian and Anne.
Ominis had arrived in class far earlier than necessary. He wanted to get situated before class started. His laptop was set up in front of him, ready to dictate the lecture onto a document for him to review later.
He had his headphones in, listening to Fleetwood Mac, his chin resting on the heel of his left hand. His eyes were closed (not that it made any difference with his vision) but the music helped him relax before the long class. He was about to doze off when the hairs on the back of his neck prickled.
Someone was watching him.
He sat up straighter, the familiar flutter of unease settling in his chest. He fiddled with the cord of his headphones, pausing the song, and listened. Footsteps shuffled into the classroom, chatter filling the space. He could make out about five distinct footfalls. Four of them eventually settled into tables ahead of him, but the fifth kept approaching. Mari lifted her head toward the newcomer, sniffing curiously.
“Hi,” a voice rang out, light and unexpectedly cheerful. Ominis didn’t recognize the boy’s voice. “Can I sit here?”
Ominis tipped his head in the boy's direction, instinctively moving his hand to the top of Mari’s head. Her ears perked forward, attentive but relaxed, as if she didn’t sense any threat. He hesitated, then shrugged. “I suppose. It is a free country.”
The response was intentionally neutral, open for interpretation. He would never flat-out refuse someone, but he wasn’t about to openly agree to sit next to a stranger.
The boy took it as an invitation, and seconds later, Ominis heard the dull thud of a heavy book bag on the ground, followed by the scraping of the stool to his right as the boy settled down.
Mari huffed and shifted closer to Ominis, her muzzle resting on the toe of his shoe propped on the stool’s bar. He went back to resting his head on his hand, intending to ignore the boy as he turned his music back on. Fleetwood Mac had switched to “Black Dog” by Led Zeppelin.
“What are you listening to?” The boy asked, leaning in closer than Ominis expected. The sudden proximity startled him, and he instinctively shifted back, tightening his hold on Mari’s ear.
Instead of responding, he flipped his phone screen toward the boy, displaying the song title.
“Oh, I love them! I'm more of an AC/DC and Nirvana guy myself, but Led Zeppelin is a classic. You can't go wrong with them. I love the riffs; you can literally feel it in your bones,” the boy rambled, unbothered by Ominis’s silence.
Ominis’s brow furrowed slightly at the boy’s enthusiasm. People rarely spoke to him this openly, let alone with such eagerness. The boy’s energy reminded him of Sebastian’s, the same kind of restless liveliness he’d grown used to.
“I'm Ben, by the way.” The boy, Ben, introduced himself, his movement indicating he’d extended his hand.
“I’m Ominis, and this is Mari,” he replied politely, letting his guard drop a fraction. He reached out, but his hand missed slightly, brushing Ben’s wrist instead.
Ben didn’t falter, smoothly taking Ominis’s hand in his own in a firm handshake. “It’s nice to meet you both. She’s lovely. I have a goldendoodle at home, but I’ve always wanted a shepherd. Mom says they’re too hairy, plus Baba’s allergic to most animals. But he can never say no to Mom, which is why we have a cat he can't stand…”
Ben rambled on, bouncing from topic to topic, somehow managing to cover his family, his pets and even started on how his two younger sisters had started to be absolute terrors, now that they were three, in the few minutes before the bell.
Only when Mr. Sharp cleared his throat, did Ben fall silent. Ominis let out a quiet breath of relief, starting the dictation app on his laptop as Sharp launched into the syllabus and expectations for the year.
“The seat you have chosen is the one you will stay in for the semester,” Sharp announced, his voice sharp and no-nonsense. “I won't stand for any complaining or griping. You should have chosen better.”
Ominis felt his stomach drop slightly. The thought of sitting next to this talkative boy for an entire semester was daunting. He’d hoped to get through the year in silence. Still, he couldn’t deny a faint curiosity about Ben. His seemingly endless chatter was oddly comforting, a bit like background noise.
Mr. Sharp was probably the strictest of the teachers at their school. He did not tolerate any talking outside of the curriculum or misbehavior of any kind. It was safe to say that Sebastian got himself in quite a bit of trouble with him, landing a detention at least twice a month. Not as much as the idiotic Garreth Weasley but still. However, both had moved on to the advanced classes so this year should be relatively quiet.
“Psst.”
Ominis spoke too soon.
“Hey, Ominis,” Ben whispered, rather loudly, nudging his arm. “Can I borrow a pen?”
Ominis frowned, confused. Why was he asking the blind guy for a pen? Ominis didn’t use them, hence the laptop. But, of course, he did carry pens in his bag, Sebastian always forgot his. Not that Ben needed to know that.
“Don’t you have one?” Ominis whispered back, keeping his voice quieter than Ben’s.
“Yeah, but I can’t find it. I think it's-” Ben started.
“Excuse me, boys. Is there something you would like to share with the class?” Mr. Sharp’s stern voice cut him off, and Ominis felt his cheeks heat up as soft laughter rippled through the classroom. He was about to stammer an apology when Ben jumped in.
“No, sir. I’m very sorry; I was just asking Ominis here for a pen. I seemed to have misplaced mine.” Ben’s tone was polite, but Ominis caught a hint of playfulness in his voice.
“You are the new student, yes?” Sharp asked, and Ominis heard Ben nod beside him. “Hmm. See that you bring your own supplies tomorrow… and no more talking.”
“Of course, sir! It won’t happen again,” Ben replied cheerfully.
As Mr. Sharp continued discussing the year’s projects, Ominis felt Ben leaning toward him again, the slight shift in the air beside him signaling his approach.
Ominis turned his head in Ben’s direction, sighing.
“So, about that pen?”
Ominis rolled his eyes, letting out a huff in annoyance.
Ben was just like Sebastian.
He reached into his bag and handed the boy a pencil.

Restless (Lee Chan) ౨ৎ⋆˚。⋆ ☕️
Tumblr media
“OK enough, as far as I know, you know way more about me than I do about you. So, tell me about yourself?” 𓂃 ࣪˖
Genre: Fluff (this is just the sweetest thing ever, I can’t)
AU: Nonidol!au, College!au
Pairing: Dino x afab!reader
Warnings: none
Synopsis: After a week of traveling for school, Chan was ready to get home and crash onto his bed for the weekend. The problem? He was locked out for the night as his parents and younger brother had gone to visit their relatives on short notice, so he turned to his only option, you.
Note: Another recycled fic from my drafts that I never really finished ;; I’m popping out fics left and right atp but this one has a lack of proofreading and editing. Happy reading again guys, don’t forget to like + reblog!
Word Count: 2.8k
Tumblr media
“Bye Ms Kim! Bye, everyone! It was so nice to be with you all in Japan, until our next competition. You all did well” Chan bowed toward his teachers and fellow students as he left the bus, bag slung over his shoulder.
Once he was on the pavement, Chan sighed and hastily walked into his building, ready to pass out on his bed. He clicks the elevator button to the floor he lives on while fidgeting with the new keychain he had bought as a souvenir. The ride was taking longer than usual for some reason.
When the elevator dinged, indicating that he had arrived, Chan eagerly stepped out and headed for the door of his family’s apartment. Instead of him being able to open it easily with the password, the lock buzzes and the sound causes Chan to frown in confusion. Did his family decide to change the house code while he was away?
As Chan was about to try one more time, his brother had texted him about how they had gone to see family and forgot he would arrive that day, adding that wouldn’t be back until the next morning.
Seeing this, Chan runs a hand through his hair and huffs. He was so ready to get the rest he badly needed until an idea came to mind.
Chan turns towards the apartment next to his family’s and grins, you were probably home, right? A girl who was his age, living independently next to his family, probably wouldn’t have many places to be, so he tried the last bit of his luck.
You hear your doorbell ring and wonder who would be at your door late into the evening. As per your paranoid self, you bring a knife to the door, being a girl and living alone with her cat wasn’t exactly the ideal situation to be in, especially at this hour.
You hesitantly peek into your peephole and your jaw falls slack as you struggle to open the door. What the hell was Chan doing at your doorstep? You thought his family would be at home like usual, the Lee family never really went anywhere and would often invite you over so this came as a surprise.
“Chan? That’s new, what brings you here?” You squint at the boy and he chuckles awkwardly, a hand scratching his cheek.
He had his backpack still on his back and a small stroller next to him, he looked like he had just come back from the airport. ‘Oh, I forgot he flew to Japan last week for a dance competition,’ you thought to yourself.
“My family forgot about me arriving today and left to go see my relatives without me, so uh, I had no other option? Unless you’re uncomfortable with me staying for a night, I can just call up one of my friends to let me crash at theirs” Chan cringed at his own words.
Seungkwan lived an hour outside the main city and Vernon lived in a one-bedroom apartment that barely had anything but a bed and a place for his pet iguana. Mingyu was at his sister’s place, and Soonyoung had gone with his family, the house already cramped enough with two grown kids and their parents. He genuinely had no other option.
“What? No, it’s fine. I’ve known you and your family since the day I moved in, it’s the least I can do since you guys have been nice to me. Now come in,” You moved aside so Chan could shuffle in, and in his head, he made a mental note to thank you later when he wasn’t as tired from the jet lag.
You helped him move his things into the guest room before getting him settled. He looked exhausted, and as much as your crush on the boy had started to take in how adorable he was, you couldn’t afford to scare him off when he seemed like he had no other place to go.
“You can use the shower, I have extra products for guests in the second drawer so you’re free to use that as you like. I was making dinner so you’re also welcome to join me in case you haven’t eaten yet. Make yourself at home,” You offered Chan a shy smile and the boy felt his heart skip a beat. Have you always been that pretty?
Chan snapped himself out of his daze and nodded before smiling back at you. “Thanks, I seriously owe you a lot for letting me stay the night. I’m sorry for coming up on short notice,” he says bashfully. You were very kind and the fact that you even offered him dinner was crazy enough as it is.
“Hey, it’s no biggie. I don’t have guests over that often so it’s nice to have someone around now and then. Call this our first unofficial sleepover if you will,” You laugh and Chan can’t help but feel flustered around you. You were so calm despite everything, it was almost impressive to him.
You put your hands together and excuse yourself, making Chan stand up and smile at you once more before you leave the room.
“Towels are in that cabinet under the desk, I think you already have the password here since it’s just my cat’s name in lowercase letters,” Chan once again nods as he watches your figure disappear into the rest of the apartment.
The silence welcomes Chan as he turns to observe every inch of the room. It was very minimal with a simple white desk, a few pictures on display, and two candles off to the side. A white double-door closet stood at the opposite end of the bed, a plant in a gray pot right next to it.
A part of the wall had postcards from places he assumed you had gone to, as well as some awards from your school. It was nice how the room still had a few elements of you in it despite it being a guest room, he would’ve never known that you had topped your class or that you had been to France.
Grabbing a towel from the cabinet and some clothes from his bag, Chan then made his way over to your bathroom. As he was passing the kitchen, he saw your back and got a whiff of whatever you were making for dinner. It smelled like meat and ramyeon, something he had missed dearly during his entire trip to Japan.
Chan enters the bathroom quietly to avoid distracting you and looks at how organized everything is, noting that the room itself is also well-lit.
‘Maybe I should take a selfie in here later,’ he thought while checking himself in the mirror, only to grimace at his appearance shortly after. He looked beat despite the flight only being three hours.
You hear the shower turn on from the outside and continue to finish up plating the food, your cat rubbing herself against you as you bend down to pet her.
“It’s a bit weird, but you don’t mind having him around right?” Luna meows as if saying ‘Not at all’ and you chuckle.
“Well Luna, you already know how much I talk about him and it’s no surprise,” you tell your cat in a whisper. The shower halts and you bring the food to the coffee table in front of your TV, turning Netflix on while waiting for Chan.
“Oh, no way! Ramyeon and meat? You made this for me?” You hear Chan say dramatically as he clutches his chest. The reaction causes you to laugh as the boy plops himself on the couch beside you.
Seeing Chan in your peripheral almost made you choke on your bowl because of how good he looked. He was wearing a white shirt and grey sweats, so simple yet he looked godly.
“Not for you but I made extra ok! Wash the dishes with me at least since you still are technically a guest,” you joke.
Chan hums without another word and that was when you choked on your food. Wow, it was that easy? You thought you were going crazy. He looks at you oddly and raises an eyebrow at you.
“Sorry, I was shocked at how you agreed so quickly,” Chan laughed at your words before taking in the last bit of food on his plate, collecting all the dishes once you leaned back on the couch and sighed in contentment.
“Y/n, you said you’d do the dishes with me!” Chan whined from the kitchen. After opening your eyes and huffing, you then make your way into the kitchen and see Chan’s back in front of the sink.
“I have a dishwasher by the way, we can just rinse these off and put them in,” you say as a matter of fact.
Chan turns toward you with a huff and watches you open the space beside him, seeing you put in the rest of the dishes and turning them on.
“Remind me never to do dishes over here ever again” Chan frowns, a pout set on his lips as you wipe your hands dry.
“I’m honestly way too bored to watch something right now, do you mind just chatting for a bit? I’m too full,” the two of you walk into the living room once again before the boy hums with a smile. You sit on the couch and throw a blanket over the two of you.
Chan shifts to make himself more comfortable, suddenly noticing a very obvious lump under the blanket that slowly starts making its way toward you. “Luna, what did I say about hiding under the blanket? You’re so naughty.”
Grabbing your cat from under the covers, you then put her on top of your lap, her blue eyes staring straight into Chan’s soul. “Does she always stare? Her eyes are very, blue. It’s like she’s staring straight through me” he says, and takes a closer look at your cat.
“Sorry about her, I haven’t had anyone over in weeks so Luna’s fascinated by a new presence at the house” You giggle while petting her. Chan feels his heart do flips, seeing you in your most natural state made him fall for you just a tad bit more if that was even possible.
“Anyway, where have you been? Your parents told me you were in Japan or something. How was it there?” You grin.
You had been to Japan quite a few times, from what Chan could tell. If he could vaguely remember, one of the postcards in your room said Osaka and Kyoto, even Kobe.
“Ah yeah, we had our most recent competition there, it was great. A lot of sightseeing and whatnot for the most, I wish I went outside of Tokyo but we couldn’t leave so I had to settle with just exploring the city,” Chan breathes out, recalling the memories he made with his friends Yeonjun and Changbin.
“That sounds so cool! I’ve been to Tokyo loads of times and honestly, city life is way too busy for me. I think visiting the more provincial areas is great if you want the feeling of peace.” Chan noticed a bit of a distant look in your eyes and wondered if you were thinking about your memories in Japan as well.
Luna suddenly meows and jumps onto Chan’s lap, causing the two of you to jolt up out of surprise. “Huh, she’s usually weary of everyone. This is a first for her,” you say with a soft smile.
Chan pets Luna with a soft smile on his face, the image making your heart flutter. It was impossible to contain your crush on the male any longer after everything that happened, hell, even your cat liked him as much as you did.
“Well, hi there Luna. You’re adorable and look just like your owner. Y/n, you legitimately like your cat, she’s like a mini clone of yours.” Your cheeks heat up at Chan’s stare, the male looking between you and the cat as his eyes linger a bit too long on you.
“OK enough, as far as I know, you know way more about me than I do about you. So, tell me about yourself?” Chan says after a minute of silence.
You jolt at his voice and look at him with an awkward smile. There wasn’t much to say about yourself if you were being honest, you couldn’t gauge anything interesting enough to tell the boy.
“I can’t think of anything, I’m a pretty boring person,” Chan frowns at your words. Boring? That didn’t seem right to him, there was probably more to you than you think, he just had to get it out of you somehow.
“Are you sure? Y/n, you’ve gone to Japan and a lot of other countries, judging from your guest bedroom alone, and I think that’s interesting enough as it is.” You blush at Chan’s words, this was the first time someone had ever asked about you, and you felt grateful towards him.
“Thank you, Chan, that’s honestly super sweet of you to say. I just traveled a lot from a young age since I was offered the opportunity to, but for now, I’m just taking a break from it all. Moving to different places in such a fast-paced environment becomes exhausting once you get older,” You play with your hands and recall every single place you’ve been to.
Traveling and moving was all you had ever known since early childhood, due to your parents moving around a lot because of their jobs and because they were always just super busy people in general. One day, you just got so used to all of it that settling down for the first time in college felt foreign to you.
“That’s honestly really cool, I’ve only ever known the practice room and the music so dancing is like my version of that. Now that I was offered the opportunity to travel, I didn’t realize it would be so overwhelming, especially as a first-timer.” Chan smiles comfortingly.
He truly admired you a lot. After getting a feel of what your life was like, before settling down into one place, he was intrigued by your way of life. How things worked after you had gotten used to it all, and how you coped with the amount of change you were faced with.
“I guess we still do have quite a lot to learn from each other then. You have a lot to tell me, and I think that’s very clear based on our current ordeal.” Chan laughs.
You shrug your shoulders and throw him a sheepish smile. No one had ever been curious about you, or how you lived your life, unlike how Chan did. It felt refreshing to be able to share your life experiences and what you had gone through with someone who listened.
Sure, you did have your friends who were also curious about you, and that's how your friendships even came to be, but Chan was different.
You always thought you’d only have a few chance encounters with the boy next door, but you never thought you’d have him sitting beside you on your couch as you go over your life with him.
“I never really got the chance to talk about my life as much, but you were willing to listen to me like it was nothing. If I continue yapping though, we’d take forever and I don’t want to keep you up any longer since you are still tired from your flight,” You say, and look at Chan beside you.
A pout stays on his face, but he had totally forgotten about the jet lag and how badly he wanted to just pass out after spending time with you.
Chan truly couldn’t get enough of you, and he starts to feel a crush blooming in his chest, not like he had one already, he just never acted on his feelings towards you.
“Don’t be like that, I live next door so you’re technically welcome to come over anytime. Now go on, I’ll let you rest up. I’ll be in my room if you need me ok? Goodnight Chan,” You tilt your head a bit as you greet him goodnight, and Chan swears he felt his heart melt right at that very moment. It didn't help that your adorable cat was rubbed up against your leg too.
“I will, thanks again for letting me stay Y/n. Goodnight, sleep well,” Chan breathes out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. You grin and turn in the direction of your room, Luna following closely behind you.
Chan was restless when he came but with your presence alone, it seems like he could stay up for a whole week if he could.

Cause I Believe ~2~ Older Eddie Munson
Part one
Summary: You keep trying to Eddie to let you in but he's fighting it.
The walls trembled as laughter spilled from Eddie's apartment. Another weekend, another girl.
You leaned against the cool, chipped wood of the front door, fingers drumming on your thighs. Scrunching up your nose in disgust hearing them moan and giggling of the girl. You hear her moan Eddie's name and it send a vile taste in your mouth.
You turned on your own music tuning it out, closing your eyes as y ou grit your teeth in fustration.The thrum of bass flooded your ears, a desperate attempt to drown out the sounds next door. You shuffled through the last items to unpack.
You kicked the empty box away with your foot like it was something that bothered you most when it was the noise, he, Eddie was making with the unknown girl he brought home. A loud crash echoed through the thin walls, followed by peals of laughter. You pinched the bridge of your nose, breathed in deep, and exhaled slowly, letting the momentary irritation fade.
God, he was annoying. The sound of a door slamming jolted you from your thoughts. You glanced at the clock. Eight-oh-two. The weekends had taken on a rhythm that left you feeling restless. Each Saturday followed the same cruel pattern: laughter, moans and unspoken words. When was she going to leave?
The front door to Eddie’s apartment swung open, and a shrill giggle spilled into the hallway. The girl stepped out, tousled hair framing her face, eyes sparkling like she just conquered the world. Eddie leaned against the doorframe, arms across his chest when he noticed you stepping out with a bag of garbage in your hands staring at him in the most disgusting way.
“What’s wrong? Jealous?” His crooked grin pushed the fluttering ivy of irritation deeper.
You rolled your eyes, flicking the bag’s handle to mask your discomfort. “Hardly. I was just—”
" Just what? Listening to the sounds that you wish you could make"? Eddie chuckled. You clenched your jaw, fingers tightening around the garbage bag. “You’re not as clever as you think.”
“I’m not trying to be clever, just… observant.”
The girl brushed past you without a second glance, her laughter echoing as she waved Eddie goodbye. Eddie was too busy staring at you to notice she left. You tossed the garbage bag into the bin with a thud, the bag bursting slightly at the bottom. Candy wrappers tumbled out, a riot of colors catching the dim hallway light. You turned away, hoping the distraction would shield you from his gaz.
" Too much candy isn't good for you, kid" he mumbles. You shot him a glance over your shoulder, brow raised. “Says the guy who spends every weekend carting home a different girl. Maybe you should try giving out some candy instead.”
His grin widened. “Maybe I will. You’ve got more to spare?"
You shifted your weight, crossing your arms. The weight of his gaze felt almost tangible, pressing against your skin. “I’ve got better things to do than play games.”
Eddie pushed off the doorframe, stepping just a bit closer, he smelled like sex, mixed with cigarette smoke.
" I told you, kid." “You gotta stop calling me that,” you shot back, heat creeping into your cheeks.
" You're much younger than I am, pretty girl. You have so much to learn" He patted your head like you were some dog. You swatted his hand away, your pulse quickening. “Stop it. You don’t get to act like my big brother, Eddie.”
“Touchy, touchy.” He leaned back, crossing his arms again, a playful spark dancing in eyes.
" Just keep it down, next time. Some of us have real jobs, you know?" Eddie leaned closer, his expression shifting from playful to something more serious, the laughter fading.
“Real jobs? You mean slinging burgers at that diner? Sounds thrilling.” He raised an eyebrow, a teasing glimmer in his gaze. " I'm sure Harrington's more than happy to have you at his tail" Eddie rolls his eyes."Look, I'm just trying to make ends meet," you shot back, frustration bubbling beneath your skin. “Not everyone can flirt their way through life.”
His laughter echoed down the hallway. “Flirt? Is that what you think I do?” He took a step towards you. " For the record, sweetheart. I perform Friday nights and have a job at a record store." You snorted, arms folding tighter across your chest. “Sure, that makes you a real catch.”
“Aw, come on,” he leaned against the wall again, arms folding across his chest, a playful smirk still tugging at the corners
"You should come by, you need to brush up on a new record." The smirk, all cocky and charming, made your stomach churn.
“Why would I waste my time listening to your band?” You pushed off the wall. " Besides your voice is like chalkboard to my ears"
Eddie threw his head back, laughter spilling from his lips like it was the most ridiculous thing he’d ever heard. “You wound me!” He placed a hand over his heart, striking an exaggerated pose of faux despair.
“Please,” you rolled your eyes. " You're not really thinking one day you'll be a rockstar?" Eddie straightened up, a spark of mischief igniting in his eyes. “Why not? You should aim high, right? It’s either that or just fade into the background, like a sad, forgotten tune.”
" Not like anyone would sign you" Eddie feigned shock, placing a hand on his chest. “Ouch! Straight to the heart. You really know how to sting, don’t you?” His voice dripped with mock hurt.
“Just calling it how I see it.”
" You haven't even heard me play or sing, sweetheart. Unlike you, I have real talent" he flicked your nose as if it would hur you in some way. You flinched, swatting his hand away. “Stop that! I’m not your plaything.”
Eddie’s smirk faded slightly, a flicker of genuine interest crossing his face. “Okay, okay. No more flicks." He chukled. " God, you're such a kid." You stepped back, irritation simmering just below the surface. “I’m not a kid, Eddie. I’m just tired of seeing you treat people like they’re disposable.”
He frowned, " I'm not like that at all. People like me, I like to tease and flirt. That's how I live, and I'm not stupid as you think I am just becasue I'm older and I'm not the childish boy I used to be. But, you don't know me at all, kid."
The sharpness in your throat tightened, words tangled on your tongue. “Then maybe you should stop acting like a complete jerk and let people in.”
Eddie crossed his arms, a flash of hurt twinkling in his dark eyes. “Let people in? For what? So, they can hurt me over and over? I've dealt with more bullshit than you relizee" he ran his hand through his hair putting it in a messy bun for the first time you've seen him.
The way he pulled his hair back, with impatience woven into every tug, offered a glimpse of his vulnerability. You almost felt sympathy, but then his words sunk in, twisting the knot of irritation in your gut tighter.
“Hurt you?” you asked. He nods, " I know girls like you." The tension in the hallway thickened. Eddie’s gaze intensified, and you fought the urge to turn away, to shrink back. “Girls like me?”
“Yeah, the type that come in all bright-eyed and naïve, ready to conquere the world and think they know what they are doing. They want the knight and shining armor to sweep them off their feet." Your breath caught, a mix of indignation and confusion swirling within you. “You think I’m naïve?”
Eddie shrugged, a nonchalant gesture that only further fueled the fire igniting in your chest. “Not naïve, but you have had this look in your eyes like I'm going to flirt with you and claim you, but no I told you. I'm not going to fuck you."
His words hung between you, hard and unyielding. Each syllable felt like a punch, and you took a small step back, your heart thumping loudly in your chest.
“Do you even hear yourself?” You clenched your fists. He rolls his eyes, " I'm just telling you kid. Don't expect me to fuck you or have some sort of relationship you mustered up in that head of yours." Your pulse quickened, every fiber of your being screaming to retaliate. “What makes you think I’d even want that? You’re just—” you hesitated, struggling to find the words that captured the swirling frustration inside. “You’re an asshole!."
Eddie's laughter echoed down the hallway, vibrant and careless, almost like a shot of whiskey. His grin widened, making the dimples in his cheeks more pronounced. “An asshole? Wow, thanks for the compliment. You really know how to use your words. Again, you're just a kid tryign to make ends meet." A cold breeze drifted through the hallway, sending a chill dancing along your skin. You turned your eyes away from his mocking grin, knitting your eyebrows together as you fought to keep your composure.
“Whatever, Eddie. I’m not here to entertain you" Eddie straightened, brushing one hand through his hair, the confident facade momentarily faltering.
“Not entertaining? But here we are, having a little tea sesson or whatever this about how you can't handle this"
" This?" you asked. "This charade," he replied, waving a hand dismissively. “This back-and-forth banter like we’re in a sitcom. You’re just next door, new neighbor and trying to find your way. Then, you see this charming rockstar" he points to himself, " welcoming you and your head starts to roll in making day dreams about what if's." You shot him a look, fire sparking in your chest. “Right, because dreaming about a guy like you is totally realistic. As if.”
Eddie’s face darkened for a split second, and you could have sworn you saw the heat in his eyes, " Girls love me, everyone knows who I am in this town."
“Girls love the idea of you, Eddie. Not the actual you.” You pressed against the wall, trying to catch your breath, every heartbeat pulsing with urgency. “You’re just a broken record that can’t stop skipping.”
His smirk as he licks his lips, " My, my... such words for a little girl that just moved in with high hopes."
“You think that’s all I am?” You stood straighter, belligerence pooling in your veins. “A girl with high hopes?”
Eddie shrugged, a nonchalant tilt of his head betraying no doubt. “Always the same story with all these girl." Tension rippled between you, electric and unyielding. “Well, maybe I’m not a story you’ve heard before,” you shot back, biting down on the impulse to back down. “Maybe I’ve got something you’ll never understand."
He clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth, " Hm, don't try to play with me" he shook his head. " you don't want to dance your way in there, sweetheart." “I’m not here for your games, Eddie.” The words fell from your lips, stronger than you expected.
Eddie pressed himself agaisnt you. You can smell the cigarettes of him and the strands of hair falling into his eyes as he gazed down at you with a hard look.
What you saw in his eyes—an inexplicable mix of challenge and vulnerability—made your heart race. He felt the weight of your defiance, a taut string ready to snap.
He took a deep breathe, " Listen here. You don't need to get your head wrapped around too much about me." His voice dropped to a low murmur, each word heavy with intent. The soft glow of the hallway lights cast shadows on his features, accentuating the sharp angles of his face. Your heart hammered in your chest as you looked at him.
" Eddie.." Eddie's name slipped from your lips, a whisper laced with hesitation. He leaned in closer, the space between you charged with an electric tension. That familiar spark of annoyance mingled with something deeper, a blend of frustration and intrigue that twisted.
" Just don't, kid. For your own good." Eddie’s voice softened, each syllable laced with an urgency that tugged at your resolve. A mix of anger and confusion surged within you, battling against an inexplicable urge to step closer.
“I’m not a kid, Eddie,” you huffed.
" Then stop pretending you know things left and right" You squared your shoulders, standing your ground despite the whirlwind of emotions swirling around you. “I know more than you think, Eddie. Just because I’m not mired in your world doesn’t mean I’m blind or foolish.”
Eddie chuckled, " I'm just your neighbor kid. One day, I won't. I'll travel the world and you'll be still here..."
His words hung like a heavy fog, suffocating the energy between you. The casual dismissal stung more than you'd expected. You squared your shoulders, refusing to let his bravado slip into your skin.
“ You don't know what the future holds" Eddie's laughter danced through the air, but there was a flicker of defensiveness behind his grin. “Ah, the grand philosopher. You’re still living in this small-town bubble, hoping for more,” he sneered, shaking his head.
" Cute" he mumbles. “I’m not living in a bubble, Eddie. I just want more than this—more than the weekend noise, the empty conversations, and the cycle of girls walking in and out of your life like they’re merely a checklist,” you snapped.
He frowns as he leans in. You saw his jaw tightened.
The light from the hallway flickered, casting shifting shadows that danced around you both, the silence between words thickening with heat. Eddie’s expression shifted, the cocky bravado slipping just a fraction, revealing something deeper beneath.
“Checklist? Watch your mouth" he growled.His eyes darkened, narrowing with a flash of anger that took you by surprise. The tension crackled in the air, palpable and heavy. For a moment, you expected him to lash out. But, he looked down at your lips then your eyes as backed away.
There could be said there was sexual tension between the two of you and he was holding back.
Eddie straightened, putting distance between you two once more. The moment felt fragile, suspended between anger and something else entirely. He rubbed the back of his neck, a nervous habit surfacing, which was out of character.
“Look, just stay away, kid. I'll try to keep it down. No promises" he licked his own lips in nervousness. " Have a good shift at the diner. Don't let Harrington talk your ear off." His eyes flicked over you, gauging the reaction as if every word captured some vulnerable moment you shared. But then he stepped back, hands shoved into his pockets, a clear barrier re-erecting between you.
You clenched your jaw, " What the fuck? You're just going to walk away after all of that?" Eddie paused, turning just enough to peer back at you. The light caught the edge of his cheekbone, casting a shadow that deepened the confusion in his eyes. “What do you want me to do? Stick around for a lecture?”
" Admit it" " Admit what?"
" You're into me, Eddie Munson" He chuckled as he remained silent. Eddie's laughter echoed down the hallway, deep and rich, but his eyes narrowed, weighing your words. “Into you? That’s quite the leap, don’t you think?”
" Admit it" you gritted your teeth. You were done playing this game with him. Eddie hesitated, his confidence wavering just for a moment, and it felt like a crack in the facade. “Maybe I like the thrill of watching you squirm. You give off a pretty good show, not gonna lie.”
“You're such a dick" he laughed harder, " Oh sweetheart... you're cute." "You think this is cute?"
He fixed his flannel as you watched his muscle flex under those arms. What was this? "Maybe I do,” he replied, the teasing glint returning to his eyes. “A little fire in you. Makes it more interesting.”
" You like making a show out of me, don't you?" His laughter faded, replaced by a slow, assessing gaze that seemed to peel away your layers. “You’re certainly not shy about throwing yourself into the spotlight, are you?”
" I am not trying to grab your attention" “Sure sounds like it,” Eddie said, leaning against the door frame again.
" I'm not!" you growled. Eddie raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in his eyes. “You call me out, put on a show, and then deny you’re grabbing my attention? Come on.”
" Maybe I..." you stuttered your words, huffing.
" Oh! I get it now" he snickered, " you just want a good fuck..." The warmth in your cheeks flared, an ember igniting into a blaze. “Wanting more than you’re offering doesn’t mean I want to sleep with you,” you shot back, voice trembling between embarrassment and irritation.
His laughter echoed through the hallway, " Don't worry, I understand now. I told you from day one, I'm not fucking you, sweetheart even if you begged me to."
“Who says I’d beg?” Your glare shot daggers at him, heat rising in your cheeks. Eddie took a few steps back, grinning like he's won.
" Your face says it all, your eyes are sparkling and the way your looking at me. It paints a picture" he says as he walks downstairs, chuckling. " Get over yourself!" he shouts making his way to his car.
The echo of his laughter faded as he strode down the steps, the thud of his boots pounding against the concrete echoing through the dimly lit hallway. You remained rooted in place, heart hammering in your chest.
" Dickhead!" you shouted over the railing as he got in his car. The only answer he's given you was the honk of his car. The honk of Eddie's car faded into the chilly evening air, leaving you standing there, pulse quickening. Frustration bubbled beneath your skin like scalding water.
“What a jerk!” you growled throwing your hands up.
===========
Heavy footsteps approached, the unmistakable weight of Steve’s presence in the diner.
“You look like something is bothering you, what happened?" Steve put the towel over his shoulder as he put his hands on his hips.
You let out a frustrated breath, the anger and indignation still simmering beneath the surface. 
“Just Eddie being… well, Eddie.” 
" Thought we been over this, you need to stop thinking on him" 
" I'm not thinking of him. He's a pain in my ass" you huffed putting your hands on the counter. Steve raised an eyebrow, leaning against the counter with that familiar grin. “A pain, or the kind of pain you can’t seem to shake off?” He scrubbed a hand through locks.
" He's just-" You paused, your words hanging in the air. Eddie's laughter echoed in your mind, a mocking reminder of the unresolved tension. Uncertainty twisted inside you, as Steve raised an eyebrow, having caught the flicker of frustration in your expression.
“ Let me guess, you're jealous of the girls he spends time with" You scoffed, pushing a stray hair behind your ear, avoiding Steve’s knowing stare. “Jealous? Please. I have no interest in the type of girls he brings home.”
Steve looks at you amused.
" I'm not!" Steve puts his hands up in defense. You shot him a glare, heat rising in your cheeks. “I can’t believe you think that. I just… I hate how he treats them like—like toys. It's disgusting.”
" There is more your not letting on there" He smirks pointing a finger at you. “I’m not hiding anything, Steve.” You leaned back against the counter, crossing your arms defiantly. 
“Uh-huh. So the way your cheeks flushed every time Eddie teases you has nothing to do with it?”
A laugh slipped from you a you rolled your eyes. 
" You like him, don't you? You like how he plays with you"
You spluttered, caught off guard as you grasped for words that danced just out of reach. “I do not like him! He’s a prick,” you spat, forcing the denial even as your heart raced. 
Steve leaned closer, " keep telling yourself that." 
" Steve..." you warned. You took a step back, the weight of his words palpable in the air between you. The diner buzzed with the late-night crowd, a blend of chatter and clinking cutlery, but all you could feel was the heat of Steve's gaze.
" Could you not... he's a womanizer..." Steve shrugged, his smirk deepening. “Yeah, but he’s not just a womanizer. He’s a complicated womanizer. There’s more to him than meets the eye, you know?”
You stared at him, “ He think he's some rockstar... but he's not.." Steve chuckled, a knowing glimmer in his eyes. “You’ve got me curious now. What’s stopping you from discovering what lies beneath the surface?”
You huffed, pushing away from the counter, frustration bubbling over. “Because he keeps saying he doesn't want to let me in, keeps calling me kid and saying he won't fuck me.." “Ah, the magical appeal of the forbidden,” Steve teased, crossing his arms. “You’re really not into the bad boy vibe, are you?”
“Bad boy?” You leaned in, incredulous. “He’s just a jerk. There is no bad boy vibe. He smells like cigarettes, he barely showers and he walks like gods given gift" you groaned. Steve chuckled, the sound rolling like thunder across the diner, causing a few heads to snap your way. “Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out,” he teased, leaning against the counter, arms crossed like he owned the place. 
" He's just-" You hesitated, the words slipping like sand through your fingers. Eddie's image loomed in your mind, a wave of irritation and curiosity colliding within you. 
“Just what?” Steve prompted, his grin widening as he watched you struggle. 
" A dick... who seems to push people buttons... " Steve’s smirk softened, genuine curiosity enkindling in his eyes. “But there’s something about him that gets under your skin, huh?”
You stared at the counter, the dull shine of the stainless steel blurring as your thoughts tangled.
" How can be so.. you know... he has that I don't care vibe... but I know he feels misunderstood and he's been hurt before.. alot.. I can tell.." Steve tilted his head slightly, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. “So, you do see something in him.”
“No! I mean—” Your voice rose a pitch, floundering as the weight of his gaze pressed down on you.
" I just want him to talk to me...." you glance down at your chipped nail polish. Steve leaned in, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Ah, so it’s not just jealousy? You want him to let you in?” 
You glared at him, feelings of confusion washing over you like a tidal wave. “I don’t.... he's just ugh!" Steve’s laughter echoed through the diner, mingling with the clatter of dishes.
“Ugh might be the perfect cover for your feelings,” he teased, resting his elbows on the counter, leaning closer, intent and amused. “The more you play your little games with him, the more he irritates you. The more you like him." 
Your heart raced, each beat a reminder of how charged this conversation had gotten. You narrowed your eyes at Steve, trying to ignore the prickle of heat creeping up your neck.
“I do not like him!” you insisted, voice rising just enough to diner. People stopped talking as they turned head, you spoke softer. 
" Steve... I..." The weight of the diner’s gaze settled on you like a heavy shroud, the laughter and chatter falling to an awkward hush. You felt the heat crawl up your cheeks, a hot flush that only intensified under the spotlight of curiosity.
"What?" Steve asked. " You think he doesn't like you? That all the things he said he doesn't mean?" You glared at Steve, an indignant flush creeping across your cheeks. “It’s not about whether he likes me or not. It’s about how he acts like he doesn’t want anyone to see past his… whatever this is.” 
" Look Y/N, you don't know Eddie and what he's been through. He's a tough cookie to crack, but he's not what you think he is." The weight of Steve's words lingered in the air between you, heavy and suffocating. You dropped your eyes to the counter, tracing the grooves of the polished wood with a finger, searching for the right response that wouldn’t betray your confusion. 
“I just don’t get it,” you murmured, frustration spilling from your lips like water from a cracked jug.
Steve leaned closer, a mix of sincerity and mischief flickering in his eyes. “You don’t have to. But maybe you could by going to see him Friday night perform. We're all going, he's our friend and we support him. Maybe you should see what he's all about. Music does speak to him.." Your heart lurched at the idea, a sudden rush of anxiety dousing the stubborn anger that had sparked so brightly just moments before. “You want me to go watch Eddie perform?” The skepticism dripped from your voice. 
“Why not?”
" He really thinks one day he will be this huge rockstar... he is too much in his head. Don't you think?" Steve shrugged, a playful smirk dancing across his lips. “Could be. Or he could just be a guy trying to carve out a space for himself in a world that doesn't quite understand him. You should see him perform. It might give you better understanding why is he the way he is.." 
The weight of Steve's words pressed down like a heavy curtain, dimming the bright lights of the diner around you. You clenched your fists on the counter, your heartbeat matching the rhythm of the small-town chatter that surrounded you. 
“Why do you think it's a good idea? What if he hates seeing me there?" Steve tilted his head, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Then you'll know. But if he doesn’t, if he actually enjoys having you around…” 
You cut him off, shaking your head. “What if he doesn’t want me to see his world?" Steve leaned back, arms crossed over his chest, a calculating look in his eyes. “That’s kind of his problem, isn’t it?” 
You opened your mouth to protest, but his gaze held you in place. The diner bustled around and more people came in. 
" We should get back to work, it's getting crowded. This diner isn't going to work itself now" Steve slapped the towel from his shoulder onto the counter as he backed up. He has owned this diner ever since he rememebrs. That's what he has told you. 
You brushed a hand through your hair, frustration curling tightly in your stomach. The busy chatter of the diner faded into a dull hum, but Steve's piercing gaze anchored all your swirling thoughts. He tilted his head towards the growing line of customers, and clapped his hands together, " Chop, Chop." 
Reluctance coiled around you as you nodded, steeling yourself against the overwhelming tide of thoughts. 
“Right,” you mumbled as you straightened, nudging away from the counter with an air of resignation. Another busy night awaited.
The faint scent of grease hung in the air as you pushed open the front door to your apartment. The dim light greeted you, casting shadows that danced across the walls. You set your bag down with a silent thud, the weight of the evening and you heared heavy footsteps echoing down the hall. A clear of throat and a hum of a tune, Eddie. The hum floated into your space, a low melody that felt familiar and irritating all at once. You leaned against the doorframe, arms folded tight as you watched him approach, unwinding himself from the haze of another late-night escapade. Eddie stops in his tracks seeing you, but he doesn't say anything. In his hand he holds a guitar case and a cigarette is loose on his lips. 
Eddie’s gaze flicked from his guitar case to you, his brows raising slightly. “Look who’s still awake. Surprised you’re not tucked into bed before the big, bad rockstar shakes the walls,” he teased.
" I've been working late" you yawned. “Working late at Steve’s diner?” His smirk widened as if he found the entire notion amusing. “Must be thrilling, flipping burgers and pouring coffee instead of hitting the party scene.” 
“Better than having to smell like a cheap whore in a cheap bar" You shot back, crossing your arms again. Eddie leaned against the wall, the faint glimmer of mischief prowling behind his eyes. 
“Such colorful descriptions.” He chuckled, plucking the cigarette from his lips and blowing out smoke. You had noticed he wore only a leather jacket as his toned stomach and skin colored with tattoos. Your eyes glued to his tummy trail. 
"You know, staring is considered rude." Eddie smirked, clearly catching you off guard. You snapped your gaze back to his face, heat creeping into your cheeks.
“Shut up, Munson.” You turned your head, " I wasn't staring..." His laughter filled the dim hallway, rich and teasing. 
“Right, because your eyes just happen to wander at my chest all the time,” he replied, leaning casually against the wall. 
" I know I have a great body" He smirks moving his jacket that you got a chance to look at his hips and the way the light bounced off of him. His confidence oozed, filling the space between you like thick smoke.
“Yeah, your ego is really something,” you scoffed, stepping back to create a little distance. “Too bad your personality can’t match it.”
" Such a bad burn" Eddie smirked, leaning back against the wall with an exaggerated flair. “Ouch, that one stings. I’m telling you, you should join the ranks of stand-up comedians. The world needs more of your delightful banter.”
" How did your session go?" Eddie blinked, momentarily caught off guard by your question. The flicker of surprise in his eyes shifted quickly into something more guarded—a fleeting glance at vulnerability that he quickly tucked away. 
“Nothing special. Just the usual—strumming.." He shrugged answering dryly as he didn't want to be too open towards you. 
"Just strumming? That's it?" You crossed your arms again, curiosity creeping into your tone.
" Okay sweetheart, what are you playing here?" He scratched his head. " This isn't something to play with..." The air between you thickened as you absorbed Eddie’s guarded response. His bravado cloaked a deeper uncertainty, one that tugged at your curiosity. 
“What do you mean?” you pressed, leaning against the doorframe with a feigned casual. 
" Music, it's means more to me than you would ever understand." Eddie's gaze shifted, the bravado slipping away like sand through his fingers. You folded your arms, tilting your head slightly. “Then explain it. Share it, for once.” 
Eddie’s eyes narrowed, the teasing spark extinguishing as he shifted uncomfortably against the wall. “It’s not that simple and I don't share with people like this..." he eyes you. “You mean people like me?” The words dropped like stones between you, heavy and laden with unspoken meaning. His jaw tightened, muscles flexing under the weight of your gaze.
Eddie exhaled sharply, letting the tension seep from his shoulders.
" Listen here, I am tired and it's been a long day. Whatever this is, stops now." He growls out. “Whatever this is?” The words hung in the air, a sharp blade poised to cut through the tension. You took a step closer, leaning against the doorframe, challenging him with your presence.
Eddie opens his door. His back is to you. You could see the tension and he's putting a guard up. 
“Is that it, then?” you challenged, a mix of frustration and determination in your tone. “You’re just going to shut me out, push me away, like everyone else?”
He paused with his hand on the doorknob, " I told you to stop." The air thickened with an unyielding silence, hanging between you like a taut string on the verge of snapping. Eddie turned, the intensity of his gaze locking onto yours with an icy glare. 
“Do you even listen?” His voice boiled. " Do you ever just shut up?" 
The fire in his eyes mirrored the storm brewing inside you, every word charged with unspoken histories. You inhaled sharply, refusing to waver under his gaze.
“Maybe I don’t want to shut up,” you shot back, voice steady despite. Eddie slams his door shut as he stalks to you. 
The door rattled with the force, sending a shiver through your spine. Eddie’s figure seemed to loom larger in the hallway, anger radiating off him. He stepped closer, the space between you two narrowing, igniting an intensity that crack.
" I said stop talking" he grits his teeth. His voice sliced through the charged air, low and dangerously calm. You stood your ground, heart hammering in your chest. Just an inch separated you, a taut ribbon of tension that shimmered with a maddening mixture of anger and something else.
" What do you want from me, kid?" He runs a hand down his tired face. “Want from you?” The words slipped out before you could rein them in. 
Eddie’s eyes narrowed, the tension pulsing between you like a live wire. “Yeah. You can stop pretending like you care about me or think I care about this bullshit banter between us." “Pretending?” You echoed, disbelief mingling with anger. “I’m not pretending anything, Eddie. I’m just trying to understand you. Trying to get closer.” 
" I told you, don't" he shook his finger. " Don't" he adds. Eddie’s finger hovered like a warning in the dim light of the hallway, his eyes dark.
" Stop dreamin that you'll know the real me, sweetheart. Not happening." You clenched your fists at your sides, fighting against the wave of frustration. “Then stop hiding, Eddie! Stop acting like you’re some untouchable mystery and just be real for once.”
The creases in his brow deepened, the shoulder tense as he looked at the ceiling. 
" Just stop trying to understand me, kid." Eddie's voice softened, a flicker of vulnerability dancing behind the bravado. “I don’t need people digging around in my past. I’ve built these walls for a reason.” 
“So, what? You’re just going to keep shutting people out. Not going to fall in love? Not going to want to feel something real?" 
He chuckles. 
Eddie’s laughter sliced through the tension, sharp and biting, echoing off the bare walls. “Fall in love? With what? A fleeting moment, a passing glance? This isn’t some fairytale, sweetheart.” 
His gaze locked onto yours. 
" Don't you want to go on a date with someone special? Hear something sweet as you lay with them in bed. I don't know, don't you want those moments? Those memories?" you asked. " A relationship" 
Eddie chuckled again, the sound tainted with bitterness. “That’s the thing, kid. Relationships? They come with strings and problems. I don’t need that in my life right now.”
“Better to be alone, then?” You asked. " No one to hold. No one to care for? Is that what you want?" Eddie’s gaze drifted down the hallway, fogging over with thoughts buried deep. Shadows danced across the walls, elongating the silence that wrapped around you both.
" It’s simpler that way," he muttered, barely audible. “no one gets hurt.." he adds. The heaviness of his words echoed in the quiet hallway. You stood, rooted to the floor, the gravity of the moment anchoring you in place. 
You let your hair down and took out the notepad from your pocket writing down something. 
" I don't need your notes, sweetheart" 
You paused, uncertainty flickering in your chest but ripped the paper out and shoved it into the pocket of his leather jacket. Eddie stiffened, eyes widening as your hand disappeared into the cool leather of his jacket. 
“What was that?” he asked, lowering his voice, an edge of confusion wrapping around his words.
" Don't open it. Open it when you feel lonley" you tell him. " Open when you feel lost." His brows knitted together, the surprise evident on his face as he felt the crinkle of paper nestle into the depths of his jacket. He stood frozen for a heartbeat, processing your boldness. 
“Why would I need this?” he asked.
You smirked, " Not everyone hides from darkness, to feel alone.I don't believe you want to be alone. You want to feel wanted." Eddie’s eyes narrowed, confusion wrestling with something deeper, an emotion simmering just below the surface. He reached for the pocket, the cool material of his leather jacket suddenly electric against his fingertips.
“Want to feel wanted?” He asked. He pursed his lips. 
“Don’t act like you don’t know what it feels like,” you shot back, pushing the weight of his own words back at him. “You’re a master at playing the field, but even you can’t fool yourself forever." Eddie’s brows knit tighter, confusion mingling with the weight of your words. He shifted slightly, tension crackling between you two. 
“You got this all figure out. You're not my therapist.." “Fine,” you shot back, crossing your arms once more. “But maybe it wouldn’t hurt to let someone in. Just a little. You act like no one cares, but I do. I see you, Eddie.”
His gaze hardened, " You see nothing." He spats. “Nothing? Is that what you really believe?” Your voice trembled, frustration coiling tighter in your chest like a spring ready to snap. 
" Stop playing tharpist, kid" Eddie’s voice dripped with anger, hard and harsh. The very notion that you’d dare to see through him seemed to shake him, and that flicker of vulnerability from moments earlier sputtered out into a cold, angered glare. 
" I didn't ask for this" he continues.“Neither did I!” You shot back, your heart pounding against your ribcage. The walls felt like they were closing in, the tension so thick it clawed at your throat. “I don’t want to be in this ridiculous back-and forth banter." Eddie took a step forward, close enough that you could feel the heat radiating from him, a palpable intensity pressing against your skin. The familiar bravado melted away, revealing something raw beneath.
"Then why do you keep pushing? Why not leave me alone?" The air crackled between you, a fragile strand of electricity sparking as your heart raced. Eddie’s gaze bore into you.
" Because I can't leave you hurting yourself with all these girls, all this hurt you have inside... " The words hung between you, heavy like an unfinished song. The shadows in the hallway flickered, and the weight of your heart felt almost unbearable as the truth in his voice cut through the tension.
Please, Eddie...” Your words tumbled out, raw and edged with desperation. The dim hallway blurred around you, pulses of confusion swirling into something heavier.
He glanced away, his jaw tightening. “You don’t understand.” 
“Then help me understand" his hand shook as his glare harden. 
" I don't want to" Eddie’s voice cracked like glass, a mix of defiance and vulnerability that hung in the charged air. His gaze turned away, fixing somewhere down the dimly lit hallway, as if he could block you out by simply not facing you. 
" Stop running away" The words hung in the air, a heavy echo in the narrow hallway. Eddie’s shoulders stiffened at your challenge, but he didn't turn around. Instead, his silence screamed louder than any retort. 
"Or do you want someone to catch you?" Eddie’s back remained rigid, the tension hanging thick between you. The silence stretched, an elastic band pulled taut, waiting for the slightest pressure to snap. 
He looked down at the ground. You wrapped your arms around Eddie, the contact igniting a spark that raced up your spine. His body felt solid, the warmth radiating from him. For a heartbeat, the tension paused, anything. 
He tensed against your embrace, muscles coiling like spring-loaded traps, but you didn’t pull away. Instead, you leaned in closer, grounding yourself in the warmth radiating from him. 
“Stop fighting,” you whispered, your voice barely.
.Eddie took a step back, the air between you cooling as he pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “This isn’t some fairy tale, sweetheart,” he muttered, his voice tinged with frustration. “You don't get to run into my arms or anything for that matter." His words hung heavy in the air, carrying a weight that threatened to crush the intimacy you had just forged. You stepped back, wounded, the warmth of his body slowly replaced by the chill of reality pressing against your skin.
“Stop being difficult" Eddie’s voice hardened, a defensive edge creeping into his words. “You think you know me? You think you can waltz in here, play therapist, and assume things will work out like some cheesy rom-com?” 
" Why don't you want to be my friend, Eddie?" He laughed, a harsh bark that felt like a slap in the face. “Friend? That’s rich. You think I’m some lost puppy just waiting for someone to come along and pet me in the nicest way." 
" We could talk, we could watch movies together, smoke, you know.. hang out.." Eddie crossed his arms.Eddie crossed his arms, the laughter morphing into something sharper, colder. “You think I need a friend? You think I’m just some stray dog looking for a warm lap?” 
Your heart sank, " you know what Eddie.. fuck you.." Eddie's laughter dissolved into a tense silence, echoing down the hallway like a distant memory. His gaze pierced through the air, unyielding and cold.
“Fuck me?” The edge in his tone cut deeper than you expected. 
" Yeah, fuck you Eddie Munson. I get it why no one wants to date you or let alone only want to jump on your dick. I get it now. I do." Eddie’s expression hardened, the laughter abruptly extinguishing, leaving only a cold tension in its wake. For a moment, his gaze narrowed to razor slits, an incredulous scoff escaping his lips as if he couldn’t quite believe your words. 
" Screw yourself, Eddie" you turned around that your back is facing him and took a few deep breathes in. The air felt heavy behind you, thick with unspoken tension. Each breath you took was an effort, a desperate attempt to ground yourself in the chaos of your spiraling emotions. Eddie’s incredulous scoff echoed in your ears, a haunting reminder he's still there. 
" Some big words from little one. Wow" he mumbles.You turned back, the anger bubbling up inside you like a geyser. “What does that even mean, Eddie? You think it’s just easy for me to come here and throw words at a wall hoping something sticks?” 
A bitter smile twisted on his face. 
" I was just coming back from band practice when you opened your mouth. I wasn't even planning to talk to you, sweetheart. It was all you." His words hung in the air, the bitter edge cutting through your chest like a shard of glass. You glared at him, every fiber of your being pulsing with frustration.
"Of course, it’s all my fault,” you threw your hands up. " I'm done with this conversation. I was planning to see you perform Friday night. But, forget it. Your a lost cause." Eddie’s expression shifted, a mix of surprise and annoyance flickering across his face. “Wait, what? You were planning to come see us play?” He ran a hand through his hair, confusion knitting his brow.
“Yeah, well, too late now. Fuck that. Fuck me. Right?" Eddie’s brow furrowed deeper, eyes narrowing as he absorbed your words. “What’s that supposed to mean?” His irritation flared like a match struck in the dark, the playful banter from moments before dissolving into something more serious.
" I'm done, you win" you tell him.Eddie stood opposite you, the air thick between you like a blanket made of tension and unspoken words. 
“Win?” His voice, edged with disbelief, pulled taut the strings of irritation still thrumming inside you. " I'm tired and I'm not going to push you into whatever I wanted to do, be friends or just hang out. It's done. You win, happy?" you spatted. " And your prize? Here it is" you opened your door and slammed it. 
The echo of the door reverberated through the hallway, reverberating like an aftershock of a quake. You pressed your back against the smooth surface, heart racing as if you’d just run a marathon. Your breath came in sharp bursts, and took your bag off your shoulders throwing it acorss the room in anger. 
The bag hit the floor with a heavy thud, contents spilling out as if they shared your frustration. A pen rolled off the desk, a crumpled napkin fluttered like a defeated flag at the foot of the bed. You sank onto the ground with fustration. 
Meanwhile Eddie stood his ground not knowing what to do. He stared at your door. Tension coiled in the atmosphere like a taut wire as Eddie remained rooted to the spot, eyes fixed on the closed door. He exhaled slowly, frustration etched across his face, the warm, inviting laughter of the last hour dissolving into anger. 
He growled opening his door, and putting his guitar case by the door throwing himself on the couch. 
The leather creaked beneath Eddie’s weight as he sank into the couch, the comfortable familiarity of the fabric clashing starkly with the storm brewing in his chest. He raked a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands as frustration bubble. 
Eddie slumped back against the couch, the fabric warm beneath him, yet it did little to quell the tempest brewing inside. He closed his eyes, the remnants of your heated exchange still echoing in his mind. 
He heard it. The wardroom of the old vinyl spun like a haunting melody, pouring through the walls, each note layered with defiance. Eddie's irritation twisted into something more profound—a mixture of attraction and annoyance danced in his chest. 
He chuckles, " of course you would turn that one on." The tune wafted through the walls, the familiar chords wrapping around him like a velvety shroud. An old classic, one he cherished, but tonight it struck a different note. Eddie reclined against the couch, gaze fixed on the wall but his fist banged on the wall that you could possbily hear it. 
You did. You heard the banging. Your heart jolted with each thud echoing through the wall, a tangible reminder of the tension that crackled between you and Eddie. 
You threw your finger up as if to show Eddie you didnt' care. The anger simmered as you pressed your back against the door, fists clenched at your sides. Each bang against the wall reverberated through you like an unwanted heartbeat, a reminder that he was still there, still infuriatingly present.
You had enough of his banging on the wall. You could not enjo your music in peace with his nonsense. The next thud rocked the wall, the sound vibrated through your entire body, an earthquake of irritation and sheer stubbornness. 
You swung the door open, your heart pounding, ready to face the storm that was Eddie Munson. 
“ Shut the hell up, Munson. Quit your banging like some dickhead." Eddie leaned back against the couch, arms crossed, a crooked grin spreading across his face as he looks towards his door. 
" Thought you were done with me?" He asked. “Shut up,” you shouted through his door. Eddie opens his door as you stared at him with a cold glare. 
Eddie stood there, shoulders relaxed yet eyes sparkling with mischief as if he hadn’t just detonated a small bomb in your hallway. “Aw, what’s the matter, princess?” He leaned against the door frame, his smirk widening with amusment. 
" You're such annoying pain in the ass" you tell him. Eddie shrugged. "Called it like I see it," he replied, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed casually over his chest. He had taken his jacket off standing in black skinnies, his hair was down and you can see his smile lines better as he laughed. 
The easy confidence in his posture grated on your nerves like sandpaper against skin. He leaned casually against the doorframe, and with every smirk, every twinkle of mischief in his eyes, you felt your ire bubbling over.
“ My eyes are up here,sweetheart" You met his gaze, eyes narrowing as heat rushed to your face. “I’m not staring at your ‘charming’ personality, Munson.” 
Eddie leaned a little closer, a playful glint in his irises. “You sure?" 
" We're done here, stop your banging or else" you poked his chest. His skin felt warm under your finger, and for a split second, the world around you faded, leaving just the two of you suspended in a charged moment. Eddie raised an eyebrow, tilting his head slightly, a mix of amusement and arrogance cloud.
" Or else what?" “Or else I’ll report you to the landlord for noise complaints,” you shot back, maintaining eye contact, the tension holding you both suspended in that vulnerable space.
Eddie’s laugh rumbled deep, his eyes dancing with mischief. “You mean my fucking?" “Enough!” You shot back, voice tinged with both exasperation and a hint of embarrassment. “Enough, really? What a letdown!” Eddie feigned disappointment, rolling his eyes dramatically. 
“Do you ever take anything seriously?” You challenged, hands on your hips, grounding yourself against the growing wave of irritation and intrigue that twisted inside you. 
Eddie pushed off the doorframe with a casual grace, closing the distance between you two.
" I do, like you keep coming back to me. Your eyes pleading for little old me to let you in anyway you can get me" He smirks.You huffed, rolling your eyes but the heat in your cheeks betrayed your irritation. “And you think that’s some kind of charm? That you're irresistible?” 
" Yet you keep coming back. You said you were done with me and look at you now. At my door yapping your mouth off" he says. “I’m here because you’re impossible,” you shot back, frustration pulsing bright and slick in your veins. “You’re like a bad penny that never stops turning up.” 
“Aw, sweetheart, bad pennies are a compliment,” he drawled. 
" You're terrible " he put his hand on his heart. 
" You've wounded me, oh I'm so hurt" he put a hand over his forehead. Eddie feigned a dramatic swoon, toppling back against the doorframe as if he’d been struck by a bolt of lightning. “Next time, I’ll be sure to wear my armor,” he quipped, smirking up at you. 
You threw your hands up and stomped back into your apartment. 
The door slammed shut behind you, rattling in its frame, as frustration coursed through your veins like wildfire. You paced across your small living space, the silence amplifying the echo of Eddie’s laughter still ringing in your ears.
That ass. You paced across your small living space, the silence amplifying the echo of Eddie’s laughter still ringing in your ears.
You collapsed on your bed and ran a hand down your face. 
" I hate him" you mumbled to yourself. The weight of your words hung heavy in the air, swirling around the small room like a restless ghost. You turned onto your side, staring at the wall, the paint peeling in places as if echoing your discontent. The soft hum of music lulls you to sleep.
