Can I request a smut where Harry and y/n are having sex and someone walks in (One of Harry’s family members) right as you both hit your climax and out of a scared/defense reflex Harry pulls out super quick and cum goes everywhere and y/n squirts or something idk and it is super embarrassing and nothing can hide what just happened.

I'm so sorry but I'm really not comfortable writing this

Hey guys! Little update, I started back to uni last week and I’m already so overwhelmed (and behind) with my work. I will try and get an update out soon but they may be scarce in the upcoming months. Hope to get back to regular by around Christmas!

Thank you for all your support!

21, 31 and 45 :)

21. what are your thoughts on love?

I am such a romantic person. I love love and the idea of being in a relationship with someone you adore and who adores you. The thought of being with someone who spoils me in the simplest of ways like surprising me with a picnic or waking up with god morning texts and someone I can spoil myself.

I haven’t been lucky enough to experience that sort of love yet, and I’m a bit skeptic that I’ll find it but I’m hopeful that I will one day. I’m lucky in the sense of that I’ve found friends that I adore, and surrounded myself with such great people cause friendships are something I believe are just as important as being with someone you love :))

31. do you collect anything?

Ummm I don’t believe so, nothing springs to mind when I think about it, but I used to collect pokemon cards when I was a kid😂

45. what’s your favorite smell?

Hmmm, I don’t really have a favourite smell. There are some weird ones I love, like birthday candles after they’ve been blown out, party pops after they’ve been popped and fireworks. I love the smell when someone cooks a meal from scratch and I’m not sure how to describe it but the smell of being fresh

Best Birthday Ever

Pairings: Ethan Payne x fem!reader, Sidemen x platonic!Reader, BambinoBecky x best friend!reader Word Count: 1.5k Warnings: Some strong language Request: Hey :) I was wondering of you could do something like the reader thinks the boys forgot their birthday when they were just planning something for them, maybe a bit of an emphasis on Ethan x reader? totally fine if you don't want to do it, have an amazing week you deserve it!

You were 21 when you first moved to London from your little town in Wales over two years ago now. You were lucky that you were able to afford to live comfortably, especially in a city that was notoriously expensive. You were a model and influencer, having been scouted by an agent when you were 18. Finally earning enough from your job, you moved to Central London - as your career was taking off, the number of shoots that required you to be in and around London had skyrocketed, and so, you came to the decision that you would move, already practically living there.

The move was pretty daunting, but you were lucky in the sense that you had ran into your childhood best friend, Becky, within weeks of moving there. You had lost touch over the years but after finding out that the two of you now lived within walking distance of each, you quickly swapped numbers and arranged to meet up. The two of you fell back into your friendship easily and once again became one of your closest friends. It was through her you met the majority of your friends, the two of you so similar that it was hard for anyone not to like you if they liked Becky.

You had grown particularly close to a group of boys known as the Sidemen as well as some of their girlfriends. Many of them were borderline alcoholics, right up your's and Becky's alleys and so the two of you had partaken in a great number of nights out with the group of friends. A great number of nights out that ended up with quite possibly the worst hangovers later.

Your birthday was coming up soon, something you were very excited about. Of course, you were, it was another excuse for a piss up with your nearest and dearest. You had thought about spending your actual birthday in London with your friends and then travelling back home a few days later to celebrate with your family. You quickly deflated, however, as every time you brought up making plans with your friends, they brushed it off, others telling you they would be unable to make it due to plans clashing. It was quite upsetting to you, as you could be very sensitive at times, something you knew your friends were aware of, but as a people pleaser, you acted as though it didn't bother you.

But they all knew. They felt so guilty, especially Ethan. It was his idea after all. It was obvious to everyone but yourself and him that you both liked each other, painfully so. But neither of you could accept the idea that you liked the other, something that frustrated the others to no end.

Ethan had suggested a couple of months ago that they throw a surprise party for you. Your friends all thought the world of you. You were such a kind-hearted person, always looking out for other people. They wanted to do something nice for you and with your birthday coming up and Ethan suggesting a surprise party, there was no protests.

On your birthday, you woke up with the optimism that your friends were playing some sort of practical joke on you. Excitedly, you grabbed your phone from its place on your bedside cabinet to see the messages that had been left. The wide smile on your face slowly faded however as the only happy birthday wishes you received were from fans on twitter and instagram. Not even your own mother had texted you. You forced the smile back on your face as you assured yourself that it was still early and that there was plenty of time for your loved ones to text you.

You sent a text to Becky asking her to meet up for lunch, wanting to spend some time with your best friend on your birthday, however, she had replied shortly after telling you she had already made plans with her boyfriend. Now, on the verge of crying, you texted Ethan.

'Fancy meeting up? Lunch on me, need a friend today :( x'

Ethan quickly agreed, insisting that he be the one to pay for food, instantly feeling awful about the situation. This was his idea, and it was obvious that you were hurt. But he assured himself that the facade would only last a few more hours. A few more hours he doubted he would last. He couldn't give in now, though. It had to be worth it at least.

Feeling the tiniest bit better, you began readying yourself for your lunch date with Ethan, dressing yourself up a little more than usual. It was your birthday after all.

An hour and a half later you found yourself waiting in a small cafe not far from your flat, waiting for Ethan to arrive. The chime of the bell on the door brought you out of your thoughts, causing you to look up. You met the boy's bright blue eyes as he strolled over to the table with an infectious grin spread across his face.

"Hey, lass!" He greeted, embracing you in a warm hug.

"Hey, Eth." You smiled as you both took your seats opposite each other.

"Everything good?" He asked.

"Peachy." You replied. Your small smile slowly faded from your face as you realised Ethan hadn't wished you a happy birthday and had probably also forgotten.

"Why?" He frowned, inwardly feeling awful. You laughed bitterly and muttered out that it didn't matter, tears threatening to form in your eyes. Turning your head, you blinked furiously to keep them at bay, the hurt you felt knowing the boy you liked couldn't even remember your birthday crushing you. Plastering a fake smile on your face, you force yourself to make conversation throughout the meal. In your opinion, you deserved an Oscar. You truly believed you had Ethan fooled but you didn't know how well the boy knew you.

He noticed how your smile never reached your eyes and the missing crinkles around your eyes that appeared whenever you were truly happy. Your laugh didn't sound as melodious, and your voice sounded as though it was on the verge of cracking at any given moment. It was enough to make his heart heavy.

"Do you mind if we stop at my place on the way? I've left something there." Ethan asked.

"Sure." You said. The next step of the plan was complete, and you were closer to finding out that no one had forgotten your birthday. It was something Ethan couldn't wait for, he felt so guilty about making you feel so bad.

You watched as Ethan unlocked the door to his flat, allowing you to go in first like the gentleman he was. You walked through as Ethan turned on the lights, being startled by a large group of people jumping out and shouting surprise at you. You looked around, taking in the faces of all your friends and even your family. Tears started forming in your eyes as you realised they hadn't forgotten. You covered your mouth as you let out a muffled sob, your best friend quickly striding up to you to engulf you in a hug.

"I hate you." You laughed through your tears.

"I'm sorry." She pouted.

"I assume this was your idea." You said.

"Nope, this was all Ethan." She grinned causing you to pull back and stare at the girl in shock. Becky was an avid shipper of you and Ethan and him going through all this trouble for your birthday proved that he cared about you a lot. You looked over at the boy who talking to Harry and Freezy with a look of adoration. You smiled as he made eye contact and excused yourself to go talk to him.

"Can we talk?" You asked him after greeting Harry and Cal. He nodded and told the two boys he would catch up to them later. You were led out to the balcony so the two of you could talk privately without being interrupted.

"What's up?" He smiled.

"I can't believe you did all this for me." You mumbled.

"You deserve it, Y/N/N." He told you, causing your heart to flutter.

"Thank you." You said, tears once again threatening to fall. Your breath got caught as the older boy took a step towards you, lifting his hand up to your face and gently wiping a fallen tear from your cheek.

"None of that on your birthday now." He teased gently. His hand remained where it was, your stomach doing somersaults as he stared down at your lips. You watched as his tongue darted out of his mouth and swiped across his lips before meeting his eyes with your own. "Can I tell you something?"

"Anything." You told him, the distance between you slowly closing until your noses were barely touching.

"I really like you, Y/N Y/L/N." He admitted.

"Well, it's a good thing I really like you too, Ethan Payne." You smiled, meeting your lips with his. His hands dropped to hold your waist and you brought your own to meet at the back of his neck.

"Happy birthday, Y/N/N." He told you.

"Best birthday ever." You grinned.

ahhhh the pain of not being able to start anything is real :( don't feel too bad though, remember our harshest critic is usually ourselves so I'm sure it's not as bad as you think (you're talented and an amazing writer so i'm 100% sure it isn't). take a breathe and a break, go get a drink or relax and then come back to it when you feel able to. Never pressure yourself to get something done if you don't want to <3 WE WILL STILL BE HERE, HAVE AN AMAZING NIGHT <3

Aww thank you so much! Have I mentioned that I adore you guys?😭

Pub Golf

Pairings: Sidemen x Platonic!reader, Talia Mar x Platonic!Best friend!reader Word Count: 1.3k Warnings: Violence, mentions of stabbing and blood, consumption of alcohol Request: hi! can i get a really angsty sidemen x reader, where someone tries to steal the readers phone in public when filming with the sidemen and when stopping the thief ,the reader physically have to fight and thinks ‘damn, their punches REALLY hurts’ but in reality the reader is getting stabbed by a small pocket knife, and gets stabbed in the face, head and neck, but obviously survives (this legitimately happened to me two years ago) Notes: Y/H/T - Your hometown

Sidemen Pub Golf. Why anyone let Harry and Ethan come up with this idea you'd never know, but somehow you had gotten roped into it along with Talia so that the teams could be equal. You had been put on a team with JJ and Ethan, the other two teams consisting of Talia, Harry and Vik, and Simon, Tobi, and Josh.

You had met the Sidemen through Talia, who was one of your best friends, having met her whilst in school. You were already attending Brit School when Talia joined at 16, and the two of you were quick to become joint at the hip. You had been there throughout the ups and downs of her career, at the start of her YouTube journey, and even the start of her relationship with Simon, and vice versa. She was there for you when you started your career, and consequently, your own YouTube channel.

The boys had wanted you to be on a team with Talia as they all knew that not only were you both lightweights, but also how the banter between the two of you increased tenfold after you had had a drink. Vik was quick to point out, however, that the banter would be in between teams and make you more competitive. Not that you weren't competitive anyway but if you and Talia were on different teams, neither of you would back down. It was a recipe for disaster as the boys would probably be carrying you both home, but to them, content was content.

You were sat in Harry's apartment, currently zoned out whilst Harry and Ethan were reading out the rules. The sound of what was dubbed the 'Sambuca alarm' brought you abruptly out of your daydream, startling you. You groaned out loud, already knowing this was going to be a disaster and you were likely going to blackout halfway through the day, but you were no quitter by any means.

"Come on, Y/N!" JJ cackled.

"Fuck off, JJ." You grumbled, throwing the shot back and pulling a face of disgust afterwards. "Ew."

"Yes, lads!" Ethan cheered, high fiving both you and JJ.

"Come on, Tals." You teased, laughing as she flipped you off and shotted her own drink.

"Why did we agree to this?" She groaned.

"We were promised top links." You laughed.

"What the fuck, Y/N?" The boys all looked baffled as you sealed off the pint in front of you, Talia cheering you on in the background.

"Since when could you do that?" JJ gaped.

"My girl's a dark horse." Talia blurted out with a large grin. This was the third pub, and you could tell the girl was pushing tipsy.

"Nah, I'm just from Y/H/T." You joked.

"Ghee." Ethan laughed loudly. "Well done, lass!"

The others finished their drinks, Tobi sealing it off in one whilst the others struggled, some more than others. You all gathered your things and set off for the next pub, which was about a five-minute walk away. You threaded your arm through Talia's, glancing down at your phone to answer a text from your mum. The two of you had fallen behind the group, you having slowed down significantly to make out what your mother had actually written.

The next few moments happened like a blur. You felt you phone being tugged out of your hands forcefully and let out a yelp of protest. You tried gripping on tightly and throwing punches at the man, Talia having stumbled forwards and was trying to call on the boys, but the stranger did not give up. You felt the man retaliating, throwing a number of punches at you, and let out a scream of pain. All you could think was how much pain you were in. You knew being punched would hurt, but fuck, you didn't think it was supposed to hurt this badly!

"Oi! Get away from her!" You heard the voice of JJ yell. The boys had heard the commotion, any intoxication being chased away by worry.

The man, seeing the large group of boys running towards you, had abandoned his efforts and ran off without your phone. JJ chased after the thief, but you paid no mind, feeling as though you were going to collapse. You fell forward, Simon supporting your weight. There were tears streaming down your cheeks but all you could think about was the searing pain you felt in your head and neck.

"Y/N." Simon gasped, frozen in shock, noticing the blood the coated you.

"Call an ambulance!" Vik yelled, the situation sobering him up as he quickly barked out orders. "Simon lay her down."

You felt yourself being set on the floor gently, a crowd slowly gathering around you, not that you noticed anyway. You were too focused on the pain. You felt hands being pressed to where you were hit. You were confused as to what was going on, but you were in too much shock to question it.

"It hurts." You cried, gripping onto Talia tightly. Your head was spinning, and you couldn't tell if it was from your injuries, the alcohol or just the shock of being in the situation you were in.

"Simon." Talia whispered with fear lacing her voice, tears forming in her eyes.

"The ambulance is on its way." The older boy couldn't tell whether he was trying to assure himself or his girlfriend.

"Ambulance?" You questioned, feeling as though you would pass out at any moment.

"You've been stabbed, Y/N." Tobi told her gently.

"S-stabbed?" You stammered, tears forming in your eyes. "Am I gonna die?"

"No!" Talia yelled. "I won't let you!"

"I love you, guys, so much." You sobbed. "Tell my family that I love them too."

"No, you can tell them yourself." Harry scolded her. Anyone could tell that the group of people surrounding you cared significantly for your wellbeing, the distress they were in making it very apparent.

"The ambulance is here!" Josh yelled, breathing out a sigh of relief as the paramedics rushed over and started handling the situation.

"I'm tired." You mumbled quietly, slurring your words slightly as you were lifted onto a gurney.

"No! Don't go to sleep now, Y/N." Ethan pleaded, but you couldn't keep your eyes open. They felt as though they were being weighed down, your mind slowly drifting off.

You groaned as you heard the sound of a steady beep that made you feel as though your head would explode. Wow, I feel like shit, you thought to yourself. Your eyes fluttered open, still feeling quite heavy, focussing on the group of people around you.

"What happened?" You croaked, your throat as dry as a desert.

"Y/N!" Ethan exclaimed causing you to wince at the volume. "Sorry."

"You were stabbed." Josh, who was sat at the edge of the hospital bed, explained gently. Tears began forming in your eyes once more as you recalled the earlier events.

"You're okay now, Y/N/N." Tobi assured you.

"The man?" You questioned meekly.

"JJ caught him, they've got him in custody now." Simon told you causing you to sigh in relief, tears falling freely down your face.

"Thank you, Jide." You sobbed.

"Hey, anything for our girl." He told you, wiping away your tears gently.

"You're awake." Vik smiled as he walked in the room. "The doctor said they want to keep her in for about a week but after that she should stay with someone, so she doesn't strain herself."

"I'll be fine on my own guys." You assured them.

"Absolutely not." Talia scolded. "You can stay at my place."

"I'll be fine, Tals." You told her.

"Doctor's orders." You rolled your eyes at her strict tone but made no move to argue with her. You just didn't have the energy.

"Well at least now we can put 'gone wrong' in the title." Harry spoke up, breaking the silence. You all burst out laughing at the boy's inability to be serious in these situations. You had the best support system around you, you were truly surrounded by such kind-hearted people.

So, I Get to Live?

Pairings: Simon Minter x fem!reader, Josh Bradley x best friend!platonic!reader, JJ Olatunji x platonic!reader Word Count: 1.6K Warnings: Strong language, mentions of violence Request: I loved your one about being caught by callux in a secret relationship I love those stories liek that. Could you do a similar one with Simon or josh please if your ok with that xx

You had grown up with Josh. He was your best friend, having known him since you were a baby. Your mums were best friends so it was inevitable that the two of you would be friends at the very least. When everyone around you thought that the two of you would grow distant as you grew older, the opposite occurred. As the years went on, your relationship only got stronger.

When he got a girlfriend, Freya, your friendship did not budge. You were quick to befriend the girl and were lucky that Josh had found himself a girlfriend that was kind and accepting of you, as there had been times in the past where one of Josh's girlfriends got jealous of the two of you spending time together, or one of your boyfriends didn't want you hanging out with him so much. Even when he moved away and befriended a group of boys who would become widely known as the Sidemen, you two stuck through it.

There were many family members and friends who thought you and Josh would end up together, but you were both quick to dismiss those comments and had been for a long time. They hadn't been as bad since Josh and Freya got together, but there was always an odd great aunt or great grandmother who would ask at family gatherings if you two had 'tied the knot' yet.

Making your own decision to move closer to Josh, you met the group of boys that had become some of his best friends - obviously not his best friends as that was a spot designated to yourself. It was also how you met your boyfriend.

You had met Simon around six years ago now but hadn't gotten to know the older boy until 2018. It was then that your crush on him began. He shared your sense of humour and treated you like a friend. Not that any of the other boys didn't, but he seemed more interested in actually getting to know you outside of being Josh's best friend. The two of you became as thick as thieves, though he didn't replace Josh as your best friend, and you found yourselves hanging out more often than not.

Although Josh had never given any of his friends a warning against asking you out, the boys knew how overprotective he could be of you, which is one of the reasons why Simon had been dissuaded from asking you out on a date for so long. In truth, he was rather intimidated at the thought of admitting he liked you, you being the one who had grown a pair and asked him out. The older boy couldn't believe his luck when you asked him, immediately blurting out an overexcited yes, much to your bemusement.

That was over a year ago now, yet Josh was none the wiser that two of his closest friends were dating. It was something the two of you had discussed vigorously at the beginning of your relationship, coming to the conclusion that not telling everyone would be in your best interest. Simon was all for it, he got to keep you all to yourself, keeping your relationship private and intimate and he wouldn't face getting socked in the jaw by your best mate.

You had recently been discussing sharing the secret with the others, however, as you had finally thought it to be the appropriate time. Your relationship with Simon was progressing and you had talked briefly about moving in with each other, something that wouldn't be possible if your friends didn't know that you were even together. You had both already told JJ a while ago as he was Simon's best friend as well as his roommate, so talks about moving out involved him too. You had also told Freya a few weeks ago as she was one of your closest friends, the two of you also discussing how you thought Josh would handle the news.

While Freya assured you that he would accept it, you were almost certain that Josh would be fuming. It was inevitable, you had not only kept a relationship from the person you had virtually no secrets with for over a year, but a relationship with one of his closest friends. The two of you told each other literally everything, even when you had lost your virginities for crying out loud!

You and Simon had both agreed that you would sit down with Josh on your own and tell him that you had been seeing someone to test the waters, which was how you found yourself on the sofa of his and Freya's apartment, anxiously bouncing your knee.

"I feel like we haven't done this in ages." He huffed, sitting down next to you.

"What? Sat on your sofa together?" You laughed.

"No." He rolled his eyes and pushed your shoulder playfully. "Hung out, just the two of us."

"Yeah, well, there's a reason I asked to hang out actually." You sighed.

"Right, now you're making me nervous." He eyed you carefully, taking notice of your skittish behaviour, something he was accustomed to growing up with you. Whenever you were anxious, you couldn't keep still, either bouncing your knee and tapping your fingers or biting your nails, a habit you still couldn't break. "You're not pregnant, are you?"

"Geez, no!" You exclaimed.

"Oh, thank goodness. I didn't want to have to explain that one to your parents." He sighed in relief.

"I'll just cut right to the chase. I've been seeing someone." You spoke nervously.

"Seeing someone? As in dating?" He asked.

"Yes." You replied.

"Oh, wow, okay. How long have you been seeing this 'someone'?"

"Uhh..." You trailed off.

"Y/N." You could hear the scolding tone in his voice. He was absolutely going to flip out, you could already tell.

"A While." You squeaked.

"How long's a while?" Josh was asking questions he didn't know whether he wanted the answers to, not liking the tone of your voice at all.

"Over a year." You mumbled under your breath.

"Over a year?! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to be mad." You said.

"Why would I be mad that you were seeing someone? That would be quite hypocritical of me."

"Because of who I'm seeing." Well, if he was nervous before, it didn't compare to how he was currently feeling.

"And who exactly are you seeing? Don't tell me it's your ex."

"No! Like I would ever get back with that arsehole." You scoffed. "Promise you won't be mad at me?"

"I'm not making any promises, Y/N/N." He warned. You shot him your best puppy dog eyes, causing him to let out a sigh and scrunch his face, knowing he wouldn't be able to resist. "Fine."

"It's Simon." You mumbled, avoiding all eye contact with the older boy.

"I'm sorry? I don't think I heard you right, did you just say Simon? As in my friend, Simon?"

"You promised you wouldn't be mad!" You whined.

"I said I wouldn't be mad at you." He grumbled, getting up from the sofa and heading towards the door.

"Josh! Where are you going?" You asked in alarm, following closely behind him, although he just ignored you. "Joshua!"

"Josh! You can't be serious." You yelled at him as he stalked up to the door of Simon and JJ's shared apartment and banging on it. "What are you gonna do when he opens the door? Punch him? Cause that's not really your style."

"What's going on out here?" It was JJ who answered the door.

"Where is he?" Josh fumed.

"Oh, she told you then." The older boy just rolled his eyes at JJ, who offered him no clue as to where his roommate was currently and barged past him into the apartment.

"Simon!" He yelled.

"Josh!" You spoke, your words mixed with fury and slight embarrassment.

"Uh, hi." Simon spoke, cautiously walking out of his room. Wow, brave move, you thought.

"What the fuck, man?" Josh was seething, stalking towards the taller boy, but JJ, thankfully, stepped between the two. "JJ, move."

"Mate, you need to calm down." He told him.

"Calm down?" You could practically see the steam coming from your best friend's ears. "He's been sneaking around with my best friend for over a year!"

"Josh, I'm a grown woman. I can date who I want to, and I certainly do not need your approval to do so!" You scolded him. You watched as his eyes softened a little, something you doubted either of the other two boys would notice as his face still held its hard exterior. You could tell your words had stung him. "I love Simon. You don't need to be okay with that, and you probably won't be for a while, but could you at least be happy for me?"

"I'm sorry, Y/N/N." He spoke softly after a tense few seconds that, to you, felt like hours. He strode over to you, wrapping you in a hug and placed a kiss to the top of your head. "I am happy for you. I guess I'm just hurt that you didn't tell me sooner."

"And that's my fault. I'm sorry." You mumbled, snuggling into his chest.

"So, do I get to live?" Simon asked from behind JJ.

"You had to ruin the moment!" You huffed at the same time Josh let out a 'don't push it'. The four of you started laughing, and in that moment, you realised how lucky you were to be surrounded by people that you love.
