𓆩❤︎𓆪
You don't think you've ever seen Eddie asleep before. You rack your brain for a memory, even the suggestion of one, and come up blank. Maybe I dreamt it, you think to yourself, hesitating with your hand held aloft above his peaceful face.
He looks like a dream. 
What he'd said last night — before the kiss, and after — echoes. You can feel his hands on your face if you close your eyes, the heat of each gentle palm, the scratch of a silver ring. He's missing his jewellery now, because he takes it off before bed. You can't believe you hadn't known that. All these details. His lashes kissing the delicate skin of his under eye, the way his lips thin in sleep from being pressed together. You reach toward him with a shy hand and brush a bundle of curls from his cheek, exposing the ridge of his cheekbone, begging to be kissed. 
You'd been tired, so tired, and then he'd come back, and he'd crashed hard. You understand it. It'd been the most exciting moment of your life, and on top of that, he'd taken care of Junie for most of the day beforehand. 
You've slept sparingly. The sun leeches in through the window one small ray at a time. Junie makes a small sound behind you, stirring in her toddler bed. You nibble your lip guiltily, wanting one more minute, just one, to look at Eddie uninterrupted. 
You turn around and your reluctance melts, Junie a picture of a good long sleep. Her hair is a mess, her lips still pouting, and her eyes are partly open. She sees you're awake too and smiles, and the guilt of wishing she'd sleep in intensifies. She climbs down from her bed and rushes up to yours.
"Hey, baby," you say softly, holding out your arm.
She grabs the sheets and you help her up, folding her into your chest with a contented sigh.
She's tired, and she lets you move her around with little protest. Which isn't to say she's despondent: her hands latch onto your t-shirt, and her tiny chin rises as she stares you straight in the eye. 
"How did you sleep, bubby?" you whisper-coo, hand spread over the breadth of her shoulders, the other crushed under your own weight. "My hand's going numb." 
You pull you arm out and hold her face. "That's better. Good sleep? Do you feel happy?"
"Good," she says. "Feel good?" 
You huff out a delighted sound and drop your nose to hers. "I feel super good, Junie baby. I'm so happy, because you're happy, and you're so smart." 
She smiles more. 
"Can you say that, baby? Say, 'I'm so smart."
Junie wiggles against your torso, hands at the neckline of your sleep shirt. "Smart," she says. 
"Yeah! Yes. 'I'm so smart.'" 
"I'm so 'mart." 
"Yay!" you cheer again, your inflection celebratory even though you're still speaking in hushed tones. You don't want to wake Eddie, but maybe you do — is this the kind of thing he's interested in being a part of? "You're so smart. So so smart, and pretty and kind and soft." 
You stroke her cheek with the back of your index finger, hoping to tickle her into giggles. "So soft," you murmur, "my lovely soft girl. You know why you're so soft? It's 'cause you're such a good girl, and you let me wipe your cheeks after dinner even though you hate it." You're speaking quietly enough that some of the words sound worn, syllables lost. 
Junie doesn't need to hear them to know they're dripping in love. She rests her cheek against your upper arm, chub against chub, and you sink down with her, closing her in for a cuddle.
Your fingertips brush over the nape of her neck. 
"Love you," you say, kissing her head absentmindedly. 
"Love you," she says back. 
She'd been a slow-learner, and she's still behind the majority of her age group, but none of it matters. Hearing her say anything at all is a gift. Hearing her says she loves you? 
You laugh. There's nowhere else for all the happy to go. 
Your hopes of sleeping again are dashed when she sits up and sees the lump of a body behind you. If she's confused she doesn't show it, hands pressed to your tender side as she climbs over you and onto Eddie's stomach. 
He doesn't rouse at first. He sighs, his arm lifting where it's trapped under the sheets, your faded cornflower blue quilt that he'd praised unnecessarily. It's pretty, he'd said, back flat to your mattress as you'd imagined him a hundred times before. 
You're pretty, you'd said. He'd opened his arms to draw you in for another hug. They'd felt endless all night.
Junie gets to his chest and her face fills with recognition. 
"Eddie," she says happily.
He hums but still doesn't wake. Junie pulls down the blankets, and he raises his arm. Eyes closed, he wraps it around her, pulling her to his chest with a contented sound. She giggles, tiny baby giggles, and starts to play with his hair. 
“June,” he mumbles. 
“Eddie,” you say, apprehensive, forcing a lightness, “we have company.”
“I can feel that,” he says. 
To your — your pleasure, your elation, he turns onto his back and his free hand finds you. His fingers curl around yours and he holds them, thumb pressed to the knuckle of your index finger. 
His eyes open slowly, his lashes parting, his face dipped down to take Junie in. 
“Hey, sweetheart,” he says. 
“Good morning.”
“Good morning,” he repeats with a laugh. “Aw, Junie, your hair! I’ve never seen you before mommy gets you dressed. Uncle Wayne would say you look like me when I wake up, when I was a kid he,” —Eddie talks through a yawn, smoothing the baby hairs out of Junie’s eyes— “used to say I looked like Linus from the Peanuts strip.”
“That’s so mean,” you say. You're relieved. You should've known Eddie wouldn't care. He loves her. 
"You know who you look like?" he asks her. 
She shakes her head. His face lights up. 
"Animal! Grown up Animal, not the baby." 
Your stomach rumbles. Eddie looks at you with concern, though that concern is a mild, soft thing. He sees you properly for the first time since he woke up, Junie held to his chest, hair as messy as hers, as yours probably is, his t-shirt neckline rolled from wear, and he visibly melts.
"D'you wanna go out for breakfast?" you ask. 
He shakes his head. "Come here." 
"What?" 
"Just come here. Lie down." 
You ease off of your elbow and slide toward him. You rest your head very carefully beside his, and are immediately delighted when he kisses your cheek. 
"How are you feeling?" he asks, pulling his arm out of hiding to steer the side of your face to his. Your noses smush together, eyes closing on instinct. "Hey, how are you?" 
"How are you?" you ask back. He sounds super tired. 
"Y'always do that. You can't just answer me? You're–" He kisses you, then, softly but with a sluggish imprecision. "Impossible." 
"I'm impossible?" 
"You're impossible," he promises. 
You try not to squish Junie as you wrap your arm around her and bring a hand to his cheek. The tiniest rebirth of stubble scratches your fingertips as they rove up his cheek to the smoothest plane under his eye. You turn your finger until the nail is flat to his skin, stroking a fascinated back and forth. 
"I can't believe you're real." 
Can't believe you're real, and you chose me, and you're here now letting my baby pull at the sweat curls tight at your neck. 
"Do I look bad?" he asks. 
You roll your head back enough to see his smile. It makes your heart skip in the best way, how handsome he is, and you have to dive in again to kiss the line between his lips and his cheek. He's really warm. Before him, you'd forgotten how this could feel, the heat that another person can give you and how protected it leaves you. 
"You look really nice," you say, your finger rubbing up and down his cheek. A teardrop to his chin that falls and climb over and over. 
"Eddie," Junie says, weaselling under your arm.
"What, baby?" he asks. 
She tucks herself up under his chin and lifts her head. It's awkward, but babies are like that. Always wanting to be where they aren't. 
"Junie?" he asks. 
She looks up, dishevelled hair especially fierce. 
"You said my name, remember? Did you have something to ask me?" 
She giggles at his tone but doesn't answer. Your stomach makes some more aggressive sounds and Eddie shoots up like bamboo, baby held to his chest and hand behind your head. 
"Mom's dying." 
"Eddie." 
"Mom's super duper hungry," he says, stroking your forehead apologetically. "Now move, mom, so we may enter your kitchen and make super duper breakfast." 
"Oh, no, let me change her first," you say. "Poor girl, I slept through the entire night." 
He passes her over to you and you stand so he can slide out of bed. His smile grows. "Hair fairy got you both," he says. 
You glare. "You are not exempt." 
"Can I use the bathroom?" 
"Don't ask! Since when do you ask?"
"Do you want to go first?" 
His caring is sweet but unnecessary. "No. Please go, and spend like ten minutes in there? I promise we'll be much prettier when you get back." 
"You're beautiful now," he says, though he obeys your ask and treks out of the bedroom with a wanton groan and a stretch that shows a lot of back. It's more than likely on purpose. 
"I'm with my baby!" you yell, laughing. 
"Don't know what you mean."  
You strip Junie down to her smalls, change her diaper, and rub a nice lotion all over. She loves the skin to skin and stays still until you offer her today's options, two dresses, one blue and one a lighter green. She chooses the green, so you put green butterfly clips in her hair to match, and white socks with lace in black shoes. She looks awesome. 
"Girls?" Eddie shouts. "Can I come out now?" 
"I was kidding," you murmur to yourself, laughing.
You comb your fingers through your hair and meet him in the bathroom doorway with Junie's hand held in your own, glancing at each other through the gap. 
"I wasn't serious." 
"Sweetheart," he says, bending at the waist like he's been punched, "look at you. Juniper the Beautiful, holy sugar."  
She only smiles. 
"I can take her, yeah? I'll make breakfast. Do you want to get dressed?" he asks you, concern again softening the lines of his face. 
"Sorry," you say. 
"For what?" 
He takes your face into his hand, cupping your cheek. You meld into it like you're one and the same, two pieces of the same puzzle clicked back into place. Junie’s hand in yours makes three. 
"Alright, Junie, breakfast," he says, pulling apart and away with a humorous brevity, stealing her little hand from yours. 
They walk together down the hallway, hands swinging. 
"We'll go get breakfast!" you call. That's why you'd put her shoes on.
"I can make it," Eddie says, voice carrying in the quiet. He shoots a smug look over his shoulder. "I can make it, seriously. Just have a minute for yourself, why don't you?" 
You wonder if that's code words for you look like shit right now, but you firmly believe Eddie wouldn't tell you that even if you did. You wash up in the bathroom and then get changed into a new-old skirt that you sometimes wear to work though you're not supposed to and a nice shirt that doesn't go. You take it all off and try again. And again. 
You pull on a pair of tight sweatpants and the band t-shirt he'd bought you all those weeks ago. For a moment you stand there, face in your hands, and then a big hand presses to your shoulder blade and scares you into flinching. 
"Oh, shit," you say. 
Eddie laughs a storm and gets his hand under your armpit. That's worse, and you squirm, but he doesn't budge, pulling you toward him for a tight-boned hug. 
"You're taking for ages," he says, parroting one of Junie’s newer phrases. 
"Well." You shove your face into the top of his shoulder. "I think I'm nervous. Do I look stupid? Nothing fits me." 
He hears your embarrassment and your panic and hoists you backward, hands curled around the tops of your arms as he gets a good look. 
"You look pretty, and like you need something to eat." He presses his lips together, a funny picture of nervousness to mirror your own. "I know we should probably talk about it, but I don't really know how to do that. Just. Are you still– You don't regret it?" 
It sounds clunky in his mouth. 
"I don't regret any of it," you say sincerely. 
"Good," he says, recovering quickly from this show of vulnerability with a good heaping of bravado, "'cause I was really hoping to get to do this again." 
His hands climb your shoulders, settle neatly in the curves of your neck. He holds your face. You wait for him to kiss you. 
"What? I brushed my teeth." 
He presses his lips to yours all wonky with laughter. It's fleeting, not nearly as long as you want it to be, but Junie shouts something from the kitchen and draws both of your attention. 
"It wasn't about you brushing your teeth," he says, back of his hand rubbing yours as he overtakes. 
Junie stands in the kitchen with a spatula, a whisk, and the rolling pin, an array of items from the bottom drawer she's in the middle of relocating. 
"Sorry I left her, I just wanted to make sure you weren't, like, trying to think of ways to let me down easy. I put the TV on. Not that you can't let me down easy," he says, bending to face Junie.
You shake your head as he starts to help her take things out of the drawer. You don't keep anything sharp in it for this exact reason, Junie's enthusiastic upheaval. 
He catches your look. "I'll put them back! Promise." 
"It's fine, you know she does it all day anyways." 
And really, he should know you won't mind because whenever he's here he helps. Cleans, cooks, soothes her small tantrums and her bigger distresses, like when you won't let her eat laundry powder with the tiny shovel that comes in the box. 
He's even started playing the bad guy sometimes. It sounds crazy, but having someone who's willing to say no for you is a sharp relief. To get to be the comforter rather than the nag, and to share a smile over Junie’s distraught head. 
"This is positive reinforcement." 
"I know both of those words, and yet," Eddie says, closing the now emptied drawer with his foot. 
"You helping her take stuff out teaches her that those things should be taken out." You pull open the fridge. "But it doesn't really matter, I'm just saying. Do you want orange or apple juice? June?" 
You hold out the carton of apple juice and the gallon of orange. The orange juice is awful, a concentrate with too much sugar, and it's delicious, so Junie picks that one without hesitating. You give her half juice half water in a sippy cup. 
"Is mine watered down too?" Eddie asks, accepting the glass you press into his hand. 
"I even mixed in some pedialyte. You're welcome." 
He nods with more genuineness. "Thank you. Now sit down! I'm making breakfast. I'm gonna make it. What do you want?" 
You look at him, fresh but still sleep rumpled, and you think about how hungry you are, and you really like him so much and you get why he wants to do this, but. 
"Listen, let's go out. Let's get waffles and syrup and strawberries and nobody will have to do the dishes." 
He buckles way too fast. It feels like a big compliment, how quickly you can erode his resistance. 
"Alright. Fine, but not because I couldn't have made all of those things." 
"Of course not." 
"You look crazy pretty when you ask for things, you know? All this time I've been begging you to ask for things and now I'm a little worried. D'you always smile like that? I could be in trouble." 
You boo at him and he smiles all the way to the car. He's still smiling as he drops his hand onto your thigh, pulls out of the driveway, and starts down the street leading out of the trailer park. It takes you a minute, but eventually you realise you can touch him back, laying your hand on top of his experimentally. 
"Do I look stupid?" he asks. 
He's stolen one of your hoodies to hide his slept on shirt. His jeans look messed up from sleeping in, but they're baggy. 
"You don't… You could start leaving clothes at my house, you know? If you wanted to– stay again." You swallow a nervous giggle. "I mean." 
"Of course I want to stay again. I'd love to. I love being with you." 
He squeezes your thigh. If it weren't for his pinking ears, you'd assume him unaffected. 
"Okay. Good. You can stay the night whenever you like, handsome, 'cause I love being with you too." 
You wonder and worry if your declaration is too close to an I love you he doesn't want. You do love him, have loved him for a while, but you have no clue what you even are. Last night, you'd said best friend. He's more than that, he has to be. 
You're in sync, or he can read your mind. He says, "We'll talk about it. After you get some breakfast in you. Your stomach's so loud they just put a weather warning on the radio." 
"They did not." 
Wayne puts a beer down in front of his nephew and doesn't pull any punches. 
"If you get that poor girl pregnant, I will disown you. Not her, mind you. Just you." 
Eddie thinks this is a very weird thing to say, but he also knows that Wayne is mostly kidding. 
"I'm not going to get her pregnant." 
Satisfied, Wayne sits down next to Eddie on the couch, the two of them tired from a long day at work, the TV on quietly in the background. It's the same thing they do everyday, or everyday before Eddie met you and your baby. 
"I get to meet her, or we just gonna meet at the wedding?" 
"Funny," Eddie says. "You can meet her whenever you want to. I kind of didn't think you'd be interested." 
Wayne sighs, scrubs his jaw. 
"Son, I want to meet her. Her and the baby. I didn't know if it was gonna work, but…" He smiles at Eddie. Eddie thinks that it's a mix of pride and love, and it has a lump forming in his throat near instantly. "I should've known, huh?" 
Eddie makes himself scoff. 
"Yeah, you should've." 
"Only thing you ever half-assed was high school." 
"You had to get that one in there." 
Quick wit and nipping comments aside, Eddie knows Wayne truly does want to meet you and Junie, and that he should've a long time ago. It had been a cop out to say he didn't think Wayne wanted to meet you, because he knew his uncle had been curious and — he's family. Wayne is Eddie's family, and you and June have become the same. 
When he brings it up to you, he does it carefully. With flowers. 
You open the door and throw your arms around him, smashing the flowers unapologetically. He chuckles into your neck, pulls you tight to his chest. You smell like the diner.
"How come you never used to do this before?" he asks. 
"You never did either." 
You take his face into your hands and kiss him, before your usual shyness takes over and you pull away. He's having none of it, grabbing your wrist before you can escape to offer your flowers. 
"Here. You'll have to give me one back for Junie, though." 
You give him the biggest flower of the bunch, a huge pink carnation with perfect petals and a thick stalk. Your fingertips brush his as you do, and his eyes are drawn to them, your hands, the bump and bone of your knuckles. You still have a scratch from work down the length of your pinky, and they're scrubbed raw as usual from cleaning. He worries you're a little compulsive about cleaning, but he supposes you'd had to have been, all by yourself. He resolves to treat them kindly at the next possible opening. 
"Thank you." 
You don't blink at his bag from Bradley's. You try not to look at it; Eddie won't accept a thank you and you're trying to let him give you things, as per the arrangement. 
As in, you, with Junie in your lap and fresh cream on your cheek, had agreed to be his girlfriend three days ago in the booth of a diner that wasn't Benny's. He hadn't been as brave as he could've been. It felt unreal to him to be with you, to have kissed you more times than he could remember, and to have you smiling back. 
"Listen, I know you said we're best friends, and we are, you're my best friend, but I– we're more. I want to be your boyfriend." He rolled the word around so you'd know how strange he though it was. "But if you've… changed your mind–" 
You'd reached across the table, pads of your fingers stroking the back of his wrist. "Why would I change my mind?"
"You realise, if we're together, you have to let me take care of you all the time?" he'd asked, full of nervous energy and really, really pleased. Proud to have you. 
"I think I can deal with it." 
He'd rubbed the toe of his shoe against your ankle and finally told you about the cream on your face. 
"Junie?" he says now, eyes searching for your lovely daughter. 
"She's in the bedroom." 
"What for?" 
You squeeze your hand through the crook of his arm, press your cheek to the top of his shoulder, and laugh. "She's making Eddie's bed, apparently. I tried to explain that you won't be sleeping here all the time but I might have made it worse." 
Did you make it worse, or had your toddler misunderstood? He hates how even in the small things you'll blame yourself. This feels like a completely blameless situation, and, if anything, it's his fault, he's the one who stayed the night, and then another night, and another. He'd gone home between those days, had even gone to work, and really didn't mean to spend the night each time. It's addictive to get to sleep with you so close by. Getting to kiss you with your arm slung over his chest, your tired eyes staring up at him lovingly — he's a good person but he's weak, too. 
He knows it's a little improper to stay this close so soon. If he thought for a second you weren't okay with it he'd be out the door. 
"Eddie?" you ask. 
"What?" 
"You're staring straight through me," you say, sounding both amused and concerned. "What are you thinking about?" 
"You, mostly. You and June. You know, Wayne wants to meet you." 
You shake the bouquet at him, brows furrowed accusingly. "Is this a bribe?" 
"'Course not… Are they working?" 
"I don't need flowers. I want to meet him too. It's weird we haven't met before. You keeping us apart?" 
"I absolutely am. I was a gross kid, I don't need him to tell you all of that now I actually got you." 
Eddie draws away from you reluctantly to put his bag on the table, as well as June's flower. He pulls out the dinner he's brought for tonight and his most important purchase, a vase big enough for your flowers. It's simple clear glass with dainty enamel flowers around the circumference. 
"For you, my sweetheart, a vase for the flowers. You want me to cut the stems?" 
You beam at him, a shining smile that makes his chest feel fizzy, a can of soda on a rollercoaster as the sound of thumping comes from the bedroom, small footsteps racing to the door. 
"Think she heard you," you say. You smile, take the vase, and kiss his cheek in a silent thank you. 
Sure enough, Junie appears down the hall and Eddie's barely taken three steps when she's laughing and pawing at his legs, having raced all the way.
"Eddie," she cheers, arms up in the universal sign for 'grab me before I start screaming'.
He's more than happy to get his hands under her arms and pull her to his chest, your mini me breathing hard as she settles. Her hand presses into his collarbone, her lips puckered up for a kiss. He doesn't usually kiss her, doesn't really know where the line is, but denying her feels cruel. He kisses her cheek and feels her lips press to his cheek at the same time. 
"Thank you," he coos, "thank you for the kiss, baby, I'm happy to see you too." 
"See you," she says, patting his neck. 
"How do I look? Handsome?" 
She tangles her fingers in his hair. 
"So, Uncle Wayne, does he like me?" 
Eddie leans against the countertop you're facing so he can see your face. "He's never met you." 
"Duh, but does he like me?" 
"Probably. He has a bunch of reasons to like you and none not to like you." 
"Doesn't hate me for stealing his baby boy?" 
Eddie wonders if he's going red. "No, god, he'd thank you for it. Man hasn't had a quiet night in a decade and a half." You laugh softly, fingers weaving through flowers to arrange their leaves and stalks, and he catches a flash of uncertainty as it twists your mouth. "Seriously, he'll like you. I know everybody says it 'bout everyone, but Wayne's a good man." 
"I know he's a good man, just…" You frame the flowers with your hands and step back. You smile at him to unsuccessfully hide an insecurity he can spot a mile away. "I'm not the girl people would pick for their son, you know?" 
He raises his eyebrows, feels bad and drops them. Eddie lives in a trailer park, and has done for most of his life, it's not like the people around here are prudent about love and partners: Eddie's obviously not the first guy to ever date somebody who already has a kid. He doesn't wanna brush it under the rug, though. Your worrying worries him. 
"I think you're exactly who he'd pick." He smiles at you in warning. You asked for this, sweetheart, buckle in. "Gorgeous girl with a perfect body," —you snort— "'n' a heart of gold." He pats between Junie's shoulders where she's oh so quiet in his arms, an affectionate slump over his heart. "And her pretty baby, too. I'd choose you for my kid. You know, if I was old. And I had one."
You wrap Junie up with one hand, the other placed sweetly over his shoulder. Your thumb strokes into his skin. "Thanks, Shakespeare," you say, letting your head dip down until your lips are flat to his shirt. 
He drops his head into yours. 
"Do you think he should come over for dinner?" you ask quietly. 
"What, today?" 
"It's gonna make me nervous thinking about it otherwise. What did you bring? Or maybe I can get pizza?" 
He encourages your head back, palm to the side of your head. He strokes down until his hand covers your ear and curls around the curve of your neck. Insanely, he thinks it is a privilege to get to see you upset and to get to try and fix it. 
"I can ask him, and he's not fussy. You're sure you want to do this today? I could host, you know, or we could go out." 
You shake your head, looking grim. Dread clear in your eyes, you say, "I'll obsess over it. Can you call him before I lose my nerve, please? Do you think that would be alright?" 
You ask like he genuinely might say no. He hasn't had the power to say no to you for months. 
"Yeah, sweetheart, I can call 'im." 
You offer to take Junie and it's funny because she doesn't need to be held right now and yet neither of you want to put her down. She's relaxed and Eddie doesn't see why she should have to be anywhere else but in his arms, hiking her up his chest in one arm to use the phone. He slots the receiver between his shoulder and his head and types in Wayne's number without having to look. He's typed it hundreds of times, at friend's houses, at the school nurse when his Mom's didn't work anymore, at the Hideout. Just to say, I'll be home late, but don't worry. 
He extends the invitation with a teasing tone. "You wanna come around for dinner? Old lady's asking." 
"You can't call her your old lady, son, not yet. That's a privilege you gotta earn." 
Eddie laughs down the line. "What's wrong with old lady? I'm keeping it respectful, classy, aren't I? She's making burgers." 
"You better be helping her." 
"How can I help her? I'm on the phone to you." 
"What time am I expected?" 
"Let me ask." He pulls June back up where she's slipping, mouth lifted from the phone to grab your attention. "What time are you thinking, sweetheart?" 
"It can be done whenever he wants it," you say, elbow deep in ground beef. 
"Give us an hour, okay? Don't fill up on shit." 
"Yeah, boy, I won't. Better leave me alone to wash up, or I can come in my overalls–" 
"Alright, Wayne." He hopes it sounds like 'love you'. "See you in an hour. Don't forget." 
"Yeah, 'cause I'm that old," Wayne says, followed by the sound of the phone on the hook. 
Eddie passes it to Junie where she'd been dying to have a turn. He can't let her play too long, guilty already watching you chopping and dicing and washing. He sets her up on your couch with her army of teddies and a peach juice box from Bradley's. He'd picked them up thinking they were weird, and that he'd wanted Junie to try them if she hadn't before. She seems pleased with it, back and legs straight across the pillow, head bent in a way that would give a grown up a sore neck for the foreseeable future, socked feet wiggling along to the music playing on her show. 
He returns to find you washing your hands. Eddie wants to kiss your neck but doesn't have a clue in the world if he's allowed to do that now or ever, so he folds his arms over yours like a hug. 
"Can I get some of that?" 
You squirt dish soap into his palm. He's expecting grumbling and complaining at his weird position, but you say nothing, only laugh. You wash his hands for him, thumb rubbing down the small hills of his fingers until he has to wash off the suds, squishing you to the countertop edge with a feigned apology. 
You squeal with laughter. "Get off," you plead. 
"I'm so tired, suddenly, I don't know what it is." 
"Eddie," you moan, well and truly sandwiched under his weight. 
He pecks your neck and stands properly in search of a hand towel to dry off your dripping hands. He towels his, passes it to you, and uses his dry hands to cradle your face. He thinks you look beautiful but admittedly very tired, and lowers his voice to an adoring murmur.
"You can go sit down, if you want to." 
"Oh, no, there's too much to do," you say, and though you're denying him, your face lists heavily into one of his hands. You close your eyes for a moment before looking up at him through your lashes. "I can do it." 
"I know you can do it, I just don't want you to have to." 
He pulls you closer, his elbows pushed into your shoulders. 
"I'm really good at making burgers. S'like, my signature dish. That's why I got stuff for burgers, 'cause I wanted to cook tonight." 
You still don't budge. 
"Go on," he murmurs, "go get your cuddles." 
Junie, upon realising Eddie would be sleeping in your bed, has taken to climbing on top of him and insisting she get to stay in the big bed. She's hogging him, and it's clear you're not unaffected. Not jealous, not bitter, but missing your baby. 
You're in mild withdrawals, and it makes sense. After all, she gets her extreme need for affection from you. 
"You're sure?" you ask, frowning softly. 
"Yes," he says, laughing and pushing you away gently, "trust me, sweetheart, I can make dinner. You gotta take my flower for June, though." He picks it up off of the counter and twirls it under your chin. "I forgot all about it, you distracted me." 
You take the flower but hesitate in front of him. 
"Kiss?" you ask, eyebrows popped up. 
He bends backward, hand coming up to cover his mouth. "You have it bad, huh?"  
"Forget I asked," you faux-threaten, spinning on your heel to leave. 
Eddie follows, spins you right back around with a hushed, "Where do you think you're going?" and kisses you, hand sliding up your cheek. 
One kiss turns to two, your lips parting slightly under the pressure. He grins and goes in for a third. 
You don't sit down for long. You steal a Junebug cuddle, in which she insists on sharing her juice box with you and kisses you upwards of twenty times. You giggle giddily, the petals of the flower you've tucked behind her ear almost blinding you with each one. They're drooly and gross and lovely to begin with, less wet when you leave to find something for her to wear. 
The dress she wears now is dirty from daycare, and the applesauce, crackers, and peanut butter you'd given her earlier stain the neck. You pick out a simple matching set of not-quite pyjamas. You want Wayne to know you dress her well, but you'd feel bad if she had to suffer any longer in clothes with buttons and zips.
Once she's changed, she's somehow even happier than she was. Now she's settled into daycare and your routine, she's over the moon all the time. She's finally settled in, and you have Eddie to thank for a good chunk of it. He's a great part of her routine, another person who wants to love and dote on her. While you know you'd been doing a great job by yourself, any extra love at all is welcome. You could love him for how he loves her and nothing else, only there's a thousand other things about him to love. 
Like his singing. You can hear him humming, then riffing, spatula scratching the frying pan as he rocks out to a song you can't hear. You're playing with Junie's toes, as strange as it sounds, wiggling and tickling the sole of her feet. 
"Mommy?" she says breezily.
"What?" you ask, leaning to her eye level, fluffy bed socks in hand. 
"Special treats for dinner?"
You can't believe the improvements in her speech, though it's natural, and it would've happened eventually. And it blows your mind because you'd known she was in there, she's a great listener and she's so patient for a toddler, but knowing she's having these thoughts and then having her voicing them now is something else completely. It's amazing. 
You tuck the sock under her pant leg and beam at her. "Yeah, baby, we're having special treats after dinner. Eddie's making burgers with the cheese," you hum, offering your open hand for her to hold.  "And… his Uncle Wayne is coming by for dinner. So we're gonna meet him and say hi to him and be super nice, okay?" 
"Okay. What's for treats?" 
"I don't know, you'll have to ask Eddie. Should we go ask him?" 
She nods enthusiastically and slides off of the sofa, gand in yours. She walks with a wobbly confidence into the kitchen, where the smell of searing hamburgers and black pepper is cloying. 
Eddie turns with the spatula, slouched with one elbow on the counter. He perks up when he sees Junie in her fresh clothes. 
"Hey, bub, look at you!" 
"She has something to ask you." 
Eddie crouches down. "Anything. What do you want to ask me, Junie?" 
"What's for," —her voice is small, high-pitched and clumsy but sweet— "... have for…" 
"Dessert," you whisper. "For treats." 
"What's for treats?" she asks, smiling. 
You sigh with pride and Eddie mirrors your expression. "Well," he says, reaching out to readjust the flower peaking in front of her hair, "I brought two things, cherry ice pops and cheesecake." 
"Oh," Junie says, "my gosh." 
You leave them in their love bubble and change into your nice (bleach stained, agonisingly bleach stained) jeans, rather than meet Wayne in your waitressing skirt and blouse. Eddie wolf whistles as soon as you emerge, Junie now happily perched on his hip as he moves the burgers onto a plate to wait in the oven. Junie turns and drops the slice of cheese she was holding, startled at the noise. 
"Is this awful?" you ask, pointing to the thin line of bleach across your thigh. 
"'This' is killer," Eddie says. 
"No, but can you see the bleach?" 
"Not really. If you need new jeans, we can go get some."  
The I can't afford it begs to be said, though you know exactly what he'll say in response. 
"Not right now," he amends. "They look fine, okay? He won't notice. I had my first tattoo for three weeks before he saw it." 
You lean over the sink to open the window and let some clean air in. Eddie goes back to the plate, and Junie drops another slice of cheese. 
The knock at the door startles you. You're unprepared, terrified, and you haven't wiped down the dinner table yet. Eddie sees your panic and shakes his head at you. 
"It's fine. You want me to answer?" 
"We should both answer," you say, with a confidence you are not feeling. 
You hold your hands out for Junie. She's a safety blanket. 
Please like me, you think, letting Eddie pull you to the door. 
You have nice shoulders. Eddie feels like he's had this thought before. Often, he looks at you, and he finds something new to catch onto and to obsess about. This hasn't changed in the few days you've been together. It's gotten worse. 
He can see the top of Junie's head against your shoulder but not her sleeping face. You sway her from side to side and he can see you arms shaking with the effort it takes to have been holding her for this long, your quiet humming now a whisper of sounds. The gentle thudding of your hand against the bottom of her spine stops, and you turn to look at him, a question in your eyes. 
He nods. Looking good. 
You ease her down into her toddler bed and spend some time pulling the blankets over her legs, tucking her small army of teddies in beside her. 
Finger to your lips, you and Eddie creep out of the bedroom and back into the kitchen. There's nothing to clean. His Uncle Wayne is a stickler who couldn't not help clean up. 
Wayne had definitely liked you. You're still glowing with it. It had been a great time, not nearly as awkward as you'd feared, and Eddie's feeling pretty content right now. You waste no time collapsing on the couch. A sippy cup under your hip, cushions in disarray at your head. Eddie grabs the half of the cheesecake that's left and two spoons and sits right next to you, thigh to thigh, no need for friendly space anymore. He forces the spoon into your hand, slides the cheesecake onto your thigh, and moves the sippy cup out of the way. 
"My arms are too tired," you mumble, dropping back into the cushions. Junie had piled them all up behind Wayne's head. She was extra, extra nice. 
"Want me to feed you? I can baby bird you." 
"Ew. That image never gets any less disgusting, Eddie." 
It's been Eddie all day. What's a guy gotta do to get a 'handsome'? A 'baby'? 
He laughs around a spoonful of cheesecake and twists his foot behind your calf, linking your legs. You've managed to finally get cable, and an episode of Jeopardy plays on mute across the room. There are toys everywhere, the kind of mess that you'll spend three hours putting right, sorting and spritzing and wiping with Junie behind you pulling things back out. 
Eddie's already got the clothes here to stay, and Wayne had said, "See you tomorrow," when he left, but Eddie asks anyway. 
"Can I stay over?" 
You sit up to drop your face heavily into his shoulder.
"Please, handsome. Don't want you to go home." 
There's the pet name he'd been searching for. A warmth climbs all over, a twinge in his stomach. He heaps cheesecake onto your spoon and presses the handle into your fingers. You eat it slowly, tip of your tongue making an unexpected appearance when a crumb sticks to your lip. 
You make a sound that should probably be illegal and drop the spoon into the cheesecake casing, freeing your arm to wrap it around his chest. You nuzzle your nose into his skin, sniffing. 
He laughs from happiness and nothing else, making good work of the cheesecake while you doze. He's not an animal, leaving some for you and June if you want more tomorrow, but he isn't temperate, either. He's thinking this might be the perfect life, you and your baby, Uncle Wayne laughing at your kitchen table, Junie in the high chair beside him trying to make a babbling conversation. She'd managed a couple of proper words and an impressive sentence, much better at answering than asking but trying either way. 
"You're a ringer for your mom, kid, you look like twins," he'd said softly. 
"Ring-ring," she'd said happily, excited to have understood. She'd offered her hand to him, pinky and thumb stuck out. 
Wayne, grinning, had answered the phone. 
"June loved Wayne," Eddie says conversationally.
"Junie loves everybody," you say through a yawn, hand soothing up and down his side greedily. "Not like she loves me and you, but she does. She keeps hugging all the other babies at daycare and they don't know how to stop her." 
"What? You've never told me that." 
"I didn't know 'till this morning." Your fingers find and breach the hem of his shirt, pads tracing to the small of his back. 
"God, you're cuddly tonight. Here, let me–" He moves the cheesecake. "Come here." 
You groan, "No, this is fine." 
"Sit on my lap, loser." 
"I'm heavy." 
True or not, Eddie wants you in his lap, and he's selfish, pulling at you like a kid not getting his way. You end up flopping over his lap to stop him, curled into an uncomfortable but darling position. He gets his hand behind your ear and turns your face, wanting to see your eyes and your nose and your lips. 
Your eyes are bright in the lighting. 
"Wayne liked you," he says, stroking down the shell of your ear with his thumb. 
"I can see why you're so kind," you say. 
You smile at each other. 
"I don't know what I did." 
Eddie leans down, tilts his head to line up with yours, his eyes flicking between the lightness softening your gaze or the curve of your top lip, calling him in like a siren. "What did you do?" he murmurs. 
"To get so lucky," you say. "I don't know. I must have been a saint, in a past life." 
"A past life," he repeats. 
Your eyes find his and narrow. He knows where you're looking, that little dot of dark hiding beneath his eyelashes. You move over his lap carefully, hands behind his neck to anchor yourself. Your thighs against his thighs, ankles locking him in, your hands always so gentle where they play in his hair. 
He thinks there's a kind of melancholy to moments like this. He panics, in his way, in his head, because there are no guarantees. This perfect night with a perfect girl could be it. There are many bad things that could happen, unspeakable, and he gets this trip in his chest like a fuse shorting out. 
He should slow down and tell you what he feels. How you're his and he's the lucky one, goddamn, he's never had luck like this in his life. 
He smooths his thumb across your lips and stops at the corner, momentarily ashamed of his big, clumsy hand, and permanently in awe of your softness, your goodness, how it lines every feature on your brilliant face. 
You lean in for a kiss. 
Your lips are parted, and he thinks you might've read his mind, the hunger and the fear he'd felt, the heart-pounding reverence, that split second of wanting to say something he shouldn't yet. It feels like you read his mind; your lips kiss and kiss and your hands tremble minutely behind his head. The heat of your tongue shocks him like the first drag, has his hand bawling in the fabric of your shirt, a low sigh smothered by your attention. 
Your nose touches his. In the days since his confession you've endured a frankly overzealous amount of his kissing. He's had you in bed, in the kitchen, just outside the front door. Some heavy handed, some sweeter than sugar, none ever for anything but kisses. Your ardency surprises and excites him — his pulse is a freight train, pounding in his veins as you yield. Your head tips back slow, your gasping breaths a golden sound he endeavours to keep forever. 
When you lay back, it's quietly, hand at his front and encouraging you to lay with him. He props himself up on his side, one hand feeling for your upper arm, wishing you'd worn something with shorter sleeves so he could feel your skin. The other covers the column of your throat. He can feel your too-fast breathing in his palm, your shallow gasps. 
Your eyes close again as he ducks in. He rubs a line with the tip of his nose next to yours, the heat emanating off of your skin thickening the air. Or, that's what it feels like. 
"Kiss me," you say under your breath. This close, you might as well have shouted it. 
He kisses you until not one of you can breathe properly, and a little after that, too. His thumb ghosts under the curve of your breast and he can feel the tightness of the question between you, a string pulled taut by your hand and his. 
"Sweetheart," he says, trying to pour all of his affection and something deeper into the word, "do you want to…" 
"What?" you ask. 
He lifts his head off of yours and waits. You open your eyes in confusion, though that confusion quickly turns when you hear what he's hearing. 
Movement. Little feet. 
He pulls his weight off of you and helps you up, brushing down your hair, your hot cheeks. You move away from his hand without malice, and when he turns he's not at all surprised to see baby Junie in her pyjamas, the ear of a teddy clasped in a small fist. 
You press your arm to his. 
"Sorry," you whisper. 
He turns to you, blinks three times quick. "Baby, it doesn't matter." It's unfortunate, but not as unfortunate as your mortified expression. He holds his hand out to Junie where she's meandering toward you, exhausted steps unsafe but determined.
She reaches his knees, and Eddie helps her up to sit between you both, his arm behind her head. 
You stroke her hair. The look you give him is pensive and loving at once. You lift your chin, and he presses a saccharine, chaste kiss against your kiss bitten lips. 
Junie falls asleep again near immediately. Eddie finds your hand in the mess of limbs and gives it a good squeeze. 
"Bed?" he asks. 
You slouch down. "In a minute?" 
He slouches down with you, letting his temple drop against yours over Junie's sleeping figure. 
"Whatever you want."

Thaw
AN: Yeah. I wrote a Miguel O'Hara fic lmao many thanks to all the enablers that helped make this possible 😘❤️
(Un-beta’d) (barely proofread, apologies for any grammatical mistakes)
Being a leader isn't easy, and sometimes even Spider-Man needs someone else to take the lead.
Rated: M+ (this is smut so, i mean, you’ve been warned?) Words: 1,028 Pairing: Miguel O'Hara x F!Reader Warnings: p in v, kissing, cockwarming, mild biting, sub!Miguel, soft!Miguel (I have not read any of the comics so, apologies if this is at all ooc) AO3
——————
You can always tell when the pressure is starting to get to him, when the weight of being the leader has become almost too much for him to bear. His temper is short most of the time anyway these days, but when he starts blowing up at every little thing, you know it’s time for you to step in. 
So, you do. 
And he lets you. 
His grasp on your hand is tight as you lead him to your shared apartment, squeezing your hand as if you’ll slip away if he lets go for even a second. Once inside, you lead him over to the couch, pausing to turn and look at him. He’s on edge, seemingly every muscle tense as you study him. You frown a little before positioning him so that his back is facing the couch. He doesn’t fight you, instead just watches you intently with his dark, red eyes. You place a hand on his chest and gently push him toward the couch, wordlessly telling him to sit. He does, eyes locked on yours as you follow, climbing into his lap, your knees bracketing his hips. 
His hands fall to your hips, his fingers digging in hard enough to leave bruises as he tries to push your hips down onto his. You swallow a moan and lean in, your mouth hovering over his. 
“No, Miguel,” you tell him, voice soft.  
Understanding alights in his eyes after a moment and he sighs, his grip on your hips lessening as you lean in to kiss him. You start out soft and slow, your lips pressing lightly against his in gentle pecks. When you brush your tongue against the seam of his lips, he groans, the tension melting from his body as he parts them, allowing you to slip inside. You lick into his mouth, the points of his fangs catching against your tongue with every sweep, making you moan.  
You rut against his lap as you kiss, your movements unhurried. He’s completely pliant beneath you when you pull back, his eyes heavy-lidded when he opens them to look at you. 
“Take off your shirt,” you whisper, reaching for the hem of your own and pulling it over your head.  
You toss it and it hits the floor with a dull thud, Miguel’s shirt and your bra following shortly thereafter. He moans at the feel of your bare skin against his when you press into him again, reclaiming his lips in another soft kiss. You grind against him, enjoying the soft sighs and groans he lets slip with every brush of your clothed heat against his cock. His fingers lightly skim up and down your back and you shiver, your own delving into his hair.  
You take mercy on him when his groans begin to sound desperate and choked, your hips stilling as his hands clench and unclench against your back. You pull away, meeting his lust-blown eyes, and smile, reaching up to card your fingers through his hair. He leans into your touch, his sharp cheekbones brushing against the palm of your hand, and something inside your chest warms at the softness. You lean in, pressing your lips to his cheek, kissing your way back toward his ear where you tell him exactly what you have planned for him (“I’m gonna take you deep and ride you slow. Would you like that, baby?”). 
Once you’re both completely naked, you sink onto his length, his hands on your hips for support. You gasp against his lips as he bottoms out, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth. He buries his face in your neck and groans as your body squeezes him.  
“That's it, good boy,” you soothe, smiling when his breath hitches. 
You moan when you start to move, your hips tilting, as you undulate slowly in his lap. He nips at your neck, his sharp bites sending jolts of pleasure throughout your body, disrupting your pace.  
“Touch me,” you breathe, bringing one of his hands to your breast. 
He sighs something in Spanish against your neck, his large hand squeezing your breast gently. His thumb teases your nipple as he pulls back, and you gasp, your cunt fluttering around his cock so hard he almost comes. The tension is back in neck again as he tries not to, his jaw clenching from the effort. You lean in to kiss him again, hips still rising and falling over him as your arms wrap around his neck.  
“It’s okay, baby, I want you to come,” you whisper, stroking the back of his head, your breath hitching as his cock hits that special spot inside you. “Want you to fill me up.” 
His groan is choked, almost broken, his hands clenching on your hips and you know he’s close. You pull back and cup his face in your hand, thumb swiping across his cheek. He looks at you with lust-glazed, pleading eyes, and you know he’s trying to hold out, that he wants you to come first. You smile softly at him, gently churning your hips. “Come for me.” 
He grunts, eyes rolling back, jaw slackening as he convulses beneath you, spending himself deep inside your warm cunt. You moan at the feeling, stilling your hips as he relaxes once more. He shivers a little as he comes down, burying his face in the crook of your neck with a sigh.  
“Need to feel you come around me, amor,” he murmurs, his voice slightly muffled as he mouths at your skin. “Please.” 
You bite your lip, heat already twisting in your gut again as you slip your hand down to your sex. You toy with your clit, rolling it between your fingertips, the delicious friction sending shockwaves of pleasure through your body. You come with a moan, shaking as your cunt squeezes his spent cock, dragging breathless groans from between his lips. You sag against him, burrowing into his chest as you come down, his strong arms holding you in place. 
“Better?” you slur, eyelids heavy as sleep threatens to take you. 
He presses a kiss to your head, humming as he tightens his arms around you. “Better.”

as promised... something!
....::::**•°✾°•**::::........::::**•°✾°•**::::.... ....::::**•°✾°•**::::....
She hears the distinctive sound of the WhatsApp video call. Its weird when they're in different countries, the mode of communication changes time and time again to avoid crazy roaming charges. She's used to being able to call him quick using the regular phone app, to see if he wanted her to pick up dinner or to ask him nicely if he would switch her laundry out for her.
It's weird to start over on another app, it almost feels like they're starting another relationship. It feels so different. The inside jokes and frequent questions about the HBO password are nowhere to be found, in it's place is an empty blank page, waiting hopefully to be filled with the same.
She picks up her phone from the edge of the bed and swipes to answer the call. She looks at the time when she does, 10:04, almost five minutes late for their scheduled call.
At least that has stayed the same.
The slight hum of the highway plays in the background, and there Andrew sits. He looks tired, but not over consumed. It's a good kind of tired, like the kind you get after a good, but long day. More of a content-tired. His hair is in the messiest bun possible, obvious that he needed it out of the way and had lost all ability to care. He's got his glasses on, and Y/N remembers when he Facetimed her from the eye doctor to see if they looked good before he ordered them.
She internally thinks that they still do.
"Hey love", he finally speaks between bites of a sandwich. She looks down at the table the phone is propped on, and sees the distinctive red and white wrappings.
"Are you kidding, you went to Wawa without me..."
"I'm sorry! The band voted before we left Philly! I told them you'd be mad but they don't seem to care about my marriage so... I had to"
"This is a betrayal, of the highest degree. I can't picture a world where I can forgive you"
"If I could ship one across the Atlantic to you, you know I would"
There is a few beats of silence, they both know that statement means more than just a sandwich.
She finally breaks,
"How are you holding up?"
"Eh, not bad. I've not been this tired in a while but I'll get used to it soon. I've done it before."
"It's quiet in the bus, where is everyone else?"
"Sleeping"
"So everyone else is sleeping and you stayed up to call me?
He takes another bite of his sandwich before answering simply,
"Yeah."
She stares at him through the phone as he keeps eating like he doesn't understand the niceness of his actions, it's just second nature to him.
"Thank you," she says, voice full of genuine earnestness.
He doesn't respond to that, instead, he switches to another topic. He doesn't feel like he needs thanks for his actions, he would rather thank her for being around to call him.
"How are you at home, everything good?"
"Yeah, there was a dead bird in the yard yesterday, Elwood found it while we were playing, he almost picked it up but I got to him before he did. That's honestly the most exciting thing that's happened here since you left."
"But that's the joy of the country isn't it, that nothing ever happens?"
"Yeah. But I would rather do nothing with you than do nothing alone"
There's a long stretch of silence between them before Andy notices a tear fall down Y/N's cheek. There are no other signs of her sadness, no shaking shoulders or audible sounds. Just a few gentle tears that he would've missed if he wasn't so utterly enraptured by her face on the five-inch screen. His heart breaks.
"Hey hey, it's ok love, it's just a bit longer. I'll be home for a break in a few weeks. "
"I know. It's just really hard."
He doesn't know what to say to that at first. He wants to hammer on about how she knew what she was getting into, and this was an inevitability. But he knew she knew that. Him repeating it isn't going to make either of them feel any better. The next part of him yearned to just get on a plane and be at home, but that wasn't fair to anyone. Not his bandmates, not the concertgoers, and not Andy who loved what he did more than anything.
All he could say was
"I know."
You imagine the separation being hard but no one really prepares you for it. You can't prepare for it. It's the pain of losing a routine and a lover all at once. It's the frustration of needing help, of needing someone to take something off your plate and having someone willing to, but that someone is 1000 miles away. Literally.
She's crying a little harder now, still silent, with the tears increasing in frequency and size. He says again,
"I know. I know how hard it is cause I feel it too. You know what I miss the most right now?"
"What?"
"I miss the things that you do that piss me off. The annoying stuff. I miss how you always steal bites of my food."
She can't help but laugh at that. He keeps talking,
"I miss how cold your feet are and how you're always trying to shove them under me to warm them. And how often you leave dirty clothes on the floor."
She joins in this time,
"I miss your hair clogging the shower drain. And how you use every possible dish when you cook."
"See, doesn't it hurt a little less knowing that you don't have to unclog the shower for a while?"
"Yeah, and I'm sure you sleep easier without my cold feet poking you."
Theres another small pause, but this one is not as sad as the rest of them. This one feels like two people comfortable with each other, just basking in the silence, feeling no pressure.
"It sucks love, it really does. But it gets easier. And there are less shitty days. And it's not for forever."
"Ok, it's shitty, but I've felt shittier. And it's not for forever."
"Yeah."
"OK," she says, wiping her eyes a bit to try to show a bit of a braver face, "this is getting kind of bummer-ish, talk to me a bit about tour stuff"
For the rest of the call, he prattled on about various events and hijinks at his shows, on the road, and in between. About halfway through the story, he realized that she had fallen asleep and for some reason, he finished the story before hanging up. Possibly hoping that she would wake back up, but mostly enjoying the domestic feeling of talking to her. He eventually hung up, settling with the fact that she was indeed asleep for real. A few hours and a timezone later after he woke up from his own nap, he noticed a WhatsApp message again,
I forgot the HBO password again...

Electra Heart Part 1
Tumblr media
A/N: Female reader, I had this idea in my head for soooo long and finally got it down on paper. Idk if I love mk11 or mk1 Johnny more but I do love how they emphasize how smart he is in the new game. I love the idea of being stupidly rich and famous like him and just... him not knowing.
Summary: Being one of Earthrelm's defenders isn't easy. Johnny flirting with you doesn't make it easier but what started as an annoyance becomes something you welcome. Perhaps dating Johnny isn't so bad after all- so long as he doesn't find out that you're an a list popstar.
Word count: 6192
Warnings: None
Part 2 AO3
“There is one more we wait for.” Liu Kang’s voice was calm, patient as he looked at the four men in front of them. Having just being met, they constantly sized each other up. To be Earthrelm’s champions was no small feat. It was only at the hurried sound of feet behind them did the four men turn. Most of them made small glances, interested but not over-exerting themselves but Johnny was the one to truly look. 
Your shoes skidded slightly on the ground as you came to a stop and your eyes dated from the group of men before you. Admittedly it wasn't your most graceful entry. The weight of all eyes on you had you freeze a bit before your eyes settled on Liu Kang's. They were gentle and kind most genuinely. Something you didn't often see. 
“Oh uh-” You cupped your fist and bowed before him. “Apologies for making you wait. It was a mission to get time off from work.”
“I understand that your career is one of the most presidential demands and thank you for accepting my offer.”
“Anything that gets me out of the house.” You nodded to him and he smiled. With the gesture of his hand, he guided you to a spot next to the men. 
“What. A. Total. Babe.” A poorly hushed voice whispered as you walked and the snap of your eyes towards the voice caught the man in the act. Oh, you had seen that man many times before. Johnny Cage himself. 
As his eye made contact with yours he completely stilled. Only the corner of his mouth had opened in a comedic fashion and he leaned towards the men in red. 
The man next to him promptly elbowed him and hissed out. “Would it kill you to show her some respect?” 
“Oh trust me, I have a huge amount of respect.” He grinned and gave you his signature grin. 
“Now we are all here-” Liu Kang took control of the scene and commanded attention. “-allow me to introduce you all.”
-
“You know when the tournament is all done and dusted you should come star in one of my movies with me. I'm always in need of a hot love interest.”
“I'm no actress, Johnny.”
“You say that but I reckon you have what it takes. There's something about you that screams that you belong in front of a camera.” 
“Hm, no. I have to go back to work.”
Johnny rolled his eyes as he bounced a little on his feet. The pair of you continued to circle each other, ready for your spar. 
“I get being committed to your job but I swear that's always your excuse. How ‘bout this then, you let me take you out on a date?”
“You're a sound salesman's Cage, make them an outrageous offer so then your hard-to-sell offer sounds better in comparison when the second offer is the true one you wanted in the first place.”
“Hey, I would be totally down having you in one of my movies! But yeah, you caught me.”
You took a step forward and his focus was instant. Every move from both parties was highly calculated. “Whenever you talk about her, you sound a bit bitter about your ex. Are you sure you’re ready for another relationship?”
“Ho! I said date but would. Not. Say No. To a relationship with you, god damn.” He tilted his head and put his hands up. “And trust me, there's no lasting feeling there.”
“And why would I want to date you?”
“The question is, why wouldn't you? I mean look at all this.” He gestured towards himself. “I got fame, fortune and the good looks to go with it.” 
“That means nothing to me. Fame is a curse rather than a blessing. Privacy is removed for all eternity. Let me guess I become your side piece that you show off then get harassed by all your loyal fangirls that want to screw you. Besides I have enough money to support myself, any more would not bring me happiness. Finally, tell me, is there any intellectual maturity behind those pretty eyes of yours? Any at all?” 
“Wow you really put some thought into this, I'm surprised actually. Considering you always say no and all. But uh- you think my eyes are pretty?” 
“You ignoring everything I said and focusing on a compliment is so you Johnny in a way that answers my question completely.”
“Just one date, I will rock your world!” 
“I don't need my world rocked.”
“How about you tell me what you want from a man and I'll see if I can be that.”
“Johnny, if I ever go out with you it's to be with you, not someone you're pretending to be to please me.”
“I won't change, promise. Just see if what you like aligns with this perfection.” He gestured to himself. 
“Maybe if you impress me in this fight. Consider it a wager.”
“Easily. Deal.”
“But if you don’t- you stop asking me. Forever.” 
His face scrunched up for a moment and he weighed his head. “Fine deal, I won't lose.”
“I said to impress me. Not win.” 
-
The fight had started with your foot against his head. A kick. It finished with a different kick. One to your head. You had been a second too slow and hadn't been quick enough. It sent you directly down onto the mat in an instant. The last of your strength was gone and pain surged in your sinus. 
Your hands flew to your face as you curled up on your side. Johnny called out your name in shock before he quickly ran up to you. His knees slid down on the mats and you could hear his voice next to you.
“Oh shit! I didn't mean to actually- are you okay- oh fuck I'm so sorry.” 
You whimpered when you felt his gentle touch on your cheek and where your hand connected with it. “Hey-” His voice cooed before his head snapped up to one a monk that neared. “Go get a healer or something! Or Liu Kang! I don't know what you guys have just go get help.” He hurried and swallowed when he looked back down at you. 
“Hey, hey, hey. Let me look at it.” He lightly tugged on your hand. 
You were hesitant to move but slowly you rolled from your side to your back, legs still on each other. With a pained breath, you opened your eyes and allowed him to pull away your hands that covered your nose. 
Blood had covered them and ran down from your nose over the rest of your face. It was a constant flow but there was a decent amount of it. “Shit your bleeding.” His big brown eyes looked at you with complete concern as he cupped your face. Johnny was leaning over you, one hand planted on the ground next to your head for balance. He swallowed and quickly got something out of his clothing. A white piece of fabric which he held up to your face to capture the blood. 
“I'm so so sorry I-”
Johnny's voice was cut off when someone interrupted him. Liu Kang and a couple of monks behind him rushed down to your side and Johnny pulled back from you. 
“What happened?” Liu Kang asked. 
“We were sparing and I kicked her too hard. I didn't mean to properly hurt her. She's normally so quick to block I-”
“I understand.” Liu Kang nodded and turned his focus to you. Liu Kang took the cloth away from your face and stared at your nose. “Get me something for her pain.” He turned to the monk next to him for a moment. “This might hurt more but may I touch it?” 
You made a small nod and winced when his fingers made contact. “It doesn't look too bad, I've had worse myself over the years but I need to realign it. This may hurt a bit.” 
He steadied his two hands and you thought he would give you a count down but no- he quickly flexed them and moved your nose back into position. A loud cry came from lips and you snatched your head out of his grasp. 
“I'm sorry, it's better that you don't know when it's coming so you don't tense.” 
Liu Kang moved to your side more. “Here, let us help you up." He nodded to Johnny to slowly pull you up into an upright position.
It wasn't intentional but you leaned into the warmth of Johnny's support as hurried footsteps approached the group of you. 
“Thank you.” Liu Kang spoke and you felt his hand on your knee. “This will help with the pain, may I?” 
You blinked a few times and stabilized yourself before you nodded. His hand gently graced your nose as he applied an ointment. The pain relief it supplied was instantaneous and had you sigh. 
A groan left your lips and your breathing slowed. “Thank you.” You finally spoke and he pushed up on his heels back into a stand. 
He offered a hand to you which you quickly took and he pulled you up to your feet. 
“It looks a lot worse than it is, you will heal quickly.” 
“Whatever that stuff was, it did wonders.”
“Will you be alright?”
“Yeah, I'm good now. Thanks really, don't worry about me.” You waved him off and he nodded with a smile. If anyone knew you were okay, it was him. Liu Kang nodded to Johnny before he handed you the piece of bloodied cloth and left. 
“I am so sorry I really mean it I’m-” Johnny was quick to apologize when your eyes landed on him. 
“It's fine Johnny. Relax, accidents happen.”
“Yeah but- god- I never wanted to hurt you. Ever. I got so caught up and- fuck- I'm so sorry.”
“Johnny, I'm fine really. It was a good hit, I should have been quicker.”
“It is not your fault.” He was fast to defend you, completely obvious from his earlier words. 
“And it's not yours either. That's why they call it an accident. If it makes you feel better, you certainly impressed me.” 
His concern wasn't killed but was covered up by interest in your words. “Oh yeah? Me breaking your nose is how I impress you?”
“No, allowing me to know something I need to work on impressing me. Which means you won our bet.” You looked down at the cloth in your hand and started to wipe away the blood from your face. 
“As much as I would love to know how you like your guys, let's get you cleaned up first.”
Johnny slowly took you back to his room where he got you a fresh cloth and wet it. He slowly started to clean your face and you let him. 
“Mmm.” You hummed as he cleaned you up and then took a step back to admire his work. 
“There! Good as new, save for the bruising.”
“I like someone that can take care of me.” You caught him off guard and his brows shot up. Johnny placed the wet cloth on a side table and pulled a chair opposite you. He sat down in it as you sat on the end of his small bed. 
“Yeah?”
“I also like someone who can make me laugh. Someone who can genuinely love me for every side of me. When I'm quiet when I'm loud. Someone who accepts how important my work is to me and doesn't try and ultimatum that away from me.” He leaned in as you did. 
“I like someone who can be genuine and be there for me just to listen when I'm having a bad day. Someone to hold me close when I cry. I want someone who can love me for me.” Your voice cracked a little and you broke eye contact with him. 
“I can do that.” He whispered and your lips curled. 
“Can you? Or can you just act like you can?” You stood up from his bed and his lips opened. 
“I can, I-”
“I guess we won't ever find out.” You shrugged, your voice a tease as you headed for his bedroom door. 
“Wait! What about our date?” He asked as you started to go through the doorway. 
“Date? The bet was to tell you what I want in a partner. Be them a dude or not. I never said I would date you. Thanks for cleaning me up but now I have to go change clothes.”
-
As Liu Kang explained how you all would fight to become his champion, Johnny leaned over to your ear. “We have to fight each other huh? If I win you go out on a date with me. Anywhere you want, best night of your life guaranteed.”
“What do I get if I win?”
“Same as last time, I'll never bring it up again.”
“You know most men are normally content with a woman telling them no and listening.” Kenshi huffed and Johnny put his hands up. 
“Hey! She's never told me directly no. Only used it as a bet wager. Probably because she likes it and just doesn't want to admit it.” He wiggled his eyebrows.
“Johnny. You are first.” Liu Kang’s words had Johnny's ears perk up. 
“Doing the best first huh?”
Liu Kang called out your voice and you could see the way that Johnny's entire body seemed to vibrate with excitement. 
“We got a deal?” He asked as he found his position across from you. A deep breath calmed your body and allowed you to focus. 
“You really want to place a bet on arguably one of the most important kombat fights of our life.”
“...Yes.”
“Fine. 
A grin formed on his face as he summoned you with his hand. 
-
As you looked at your phone you felt a presence appear. 
“You let Johnny win against you.” Without looking up you recognised Liu Kang’s voice. 
“And how did you figure that?”
“I've seen you work, seen you practice. Johnny is good but you pull your punches a lot against him. Today was no different.”
“It’s not moral kombat, I'm not trying to kill him.” You looked up and locked your phone with the press of a button. 
“True but I believe you rival Raiden. If you won against him I wouldn't have been surprised.”
“Truthfully? Since you said there would only be one Champion I didn't want to be it.”
“You don't believe you could do it?” He stepped fully into the room and sat down across from you. His eyes examined you as his eyes read your body. They softened into a look of realization. “You don't think you can handle the pressure.” He seemed so surprised by the fact it made you press your lips together. 
“Yeah. Why are you surprised?”
“Well, doing things in front of an audience isn't anything new for you. I would have thought you would enjoy the spotlight.”
“Not as me though. When I'm up one stage as Nightingale that's another person. She's a mask I put on. Admittedly it can be a liberating mask at times but this is scary being me. Doing something with my name and my face. It's not the same.”
“I understand and I thank you for doing this regardless.”
A knock at your door had both of your heads turn to face it. Liu Kang nodded to you and you spoke up. “Come in.” 
Johnny's head poked around the door and landed on Liu Kang’s for a second. “Hope I'm not interrupting anything.”
“No, we were just discussing the fight. I was heading out anyway.” The fire god stood up and smiled as he left the room. 
“Soooo.” Johnny slid into the room and you swore his teeth shined as he grinned. 
“Yes, Johnny?”
“Pick you up at seven?” 
“From where? Johnny, we’re going to Outworld in a day. You can't be seriously thinking about a date.”
“No, no I mean after all this. Me, you, a world-class view and the best Wagyu you ever had.”
“No.” You folded your arms and his face dropped. Before he could say anything you continued. “You said anywhere I want. I don't want some flashy restaurant. I want at home-cooked dinner.”
“Oh thank god, I thought you were telling me no. Yeah, I can cook for you. Prepare for the best home-cooked meal you ever had.”
“I want to watch you cook it.” 
“Come on you doubt my ability? You really think I would purchase food then disguise it as my own cooking?”
“Yes. That's exactly what I think and the fact you brought it up tells me you had thought of it.”
“No way. You underestimate, trust me I know how to cook.” 
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
-
Your house never really felt like a home. Not after your address got doxxed and you were never left alone. Paparazzi loved to sit there and attempt to get photos of you out of costume. In all honesty, you spent most of your time at your friend's loft. As much as you could, she didn’t mind.
That's where you were as you got ready. Lisa smiled as she helped you with your dress. “So what's his name again? I can't believe you went to a monk monastery and found a hot date.”
“Jonathan.” 
“And what does this Jonathan do?”
“Some acting.”
“Uh-huh uh-huh.”
“It's not a big deal.” You shrugged as her hands left your dress and you turned to face her. 
“Not a big deal?! I don't think you have been on a genuine date since ever. When was the last time you had a date that wasn't a PR stunt?”
“I don't know.”
“Nev-er.” She emphasized the two syllables. 
“It's one date and I already know the guy.”
“The fact that you already know him and agreed to go out on a date with him tells me there's going to be wedding bells in a month.”
“Lisa! No way. He's charming sure but I don't know. He might be one for the chase you feel? Might get bored.”
“Girl if he gets bored of you then we're all doomed cause then love isn't real.”
“He, like, split with his wife a few months ago.”
Her face fell you could see concern form on her face. “Shit, that's not great. If the press find out about it they could spin the whole-”
“Homewrecker story yeah I know.”
“You don't even have an album to profit off it either.”
“Yeah, I'm hoping to keep this all on the down low”
“Lips sealed. Where's he taking you?”
“Dinner at his place, it was my pick.”
“Smart.” She gave you a sly smile and tapped the side of her head with her finger. 
There was a knock on the door and Lisa pretended to go for it and you scrambled to get to the door before her. A loud laugh left her lips and you glared at her before she disappeared into the kitchen. 
You made your way to the door and cracked it open to see Johnny leaning there on the door frame, flowers in his hand. A bouquet of red chrysanthemums.
“You got me flowers?” At first, you thought it was a little corny but then you paused at the type. 
“I remember you looking at them back at the temple. We were training and took a break by them. You had the prettiest smile as you looked at them.”
A flush formed on your face at the realization he had been watching you. It was hard to tell when he wore sunglasses almost everywhere. “Here let me go out these in a vase.” You took them from him and wandered back into the loft. As you approached the kitchen a single hand came up from the side of the island and placed a vase on the surface. Lisa was obviously hiding down. 
It already had water in it. You put the red bouquet in them and settled them there on the counter. 
“Nice place you got here.”
“Oh uh, I didn't decorate it. All credit goes to my friend Lisa.”
“Well tell your friend Lisa she did a good job.”
“I'm sure she knows in her own way.” You mumbled under your breath. “Shall we get out of here then?” You turned to face Johnny as he looked around the loft.
“Right this way.” 
-
Johnny's mansion was massive and in every way, it screamed him. “Welcome to mi casa.” He put his hands up and walked backwards. Your eyes trained over the building as he led you through the building. It wasn't new by your standards, you were no stranger to lavish houses but you couldn't deny the stunning view of the sun setting by his pool. 
“And this here is the kitchen.” It was a massive room that had an island that connected it to the rest of the building. It had giant windows without curtains that continued on the view. He pulled out one of the island counter chairs and gestured for you to sit on it. 
“Mi lady.” You placed your hand on the counter and sat down.
“Thanks.” 
Johnny jogged into the kitchen and started to roll his sleeves up. He started to pull out ingredients from his fridge and cupboards. 
“So what's on the menu for tonight.”
“You said no to Wagyu so hope you don't mind pasta.”
He got a pot out. “Mmm, I do love pasta, what kind?”
“Rotini.” He dramatically said with a fake Italian accent. 
You watched as he picked up two onions from the cupboard and started to juggle them in one hand. 
“Faster.” You commanded with a devilish smirk on your face. His brows shot up above his glasses but followed your request. Faster and faster he went until he threw one up really high and caught the other. It landed in his hand and you started to give him a little applause as you laughed. 
“Johnny Cage the clown. How fitting.”
“I may be a fool but only a fool for you.” He tilted his face so you could see above his glasses and he winked.”
“That's so bad.”
“Ah, but you love it.” 
You rolled your eyes at him and slipped out of the chair. Johnny watched with interest as you approached and took the onions from his hand. You ran them underwater before you grabbed his kitchen knife and started to cut them on the waiting cutting board. 
“Thought I was making dinner.” He hummed and placed his hands on your shoulder. 
“Well someone has to make dinner while you're doing your circus act.” 
“In that case, we want them in small cube kinda shapes. We only actually need one onion.” 
“You just wanted to show off your juggling skills?” 
“Uh- yeah! Come on, of course, I’m going to do everything I can to impress my incredibly hot, smart and talented date.”
You shook your head as you laughed and he snatched away the spare onion. To stay productive he reached and got the garlic from a small container on the bench. Johnny pulled out a small bowl and crushed the garlic into it. 
“Is this good?” You asked and Johnny leaned over you to look. 
“Perfect.”
Johnny leaned over to grab a large pan and placed it on the element before he doused it in olive oil and turned it to medium heat. He grabbed some butter from the fridge and broke some off and added it to the pan. 
Johnny lined up a few spices and grabbed passata from the fridge. “I can cook but there is no way I am making my own passata.” He pointed it at you and you held your hands up in defense. 
“Never said a word Cage.”
“Good, I don't want any minus points.”
“I'm not grading you on our date Johnny.” You laughed. “Just be yourself.”
“Greeeattt. Because myself is my favourite person to be.”
“Never mind, I take back my words I am grading you and you just lost points.”
He made a dramatic gasp before his lips curled upward. 
“Oh, teach is there any way I can get extra credit? I’ll do anything. ” His brows wiggled and you grabbed a tea towel and whipped him with it. 
“You’re the worst now shut up, the pans sizzling.” 
His attention snapped back to the pan and he took a few steps towards you. When he was close enough to touch you he picked up the onion with cupped hands before he dropped them into the pan. 
“Mind stirring the pasta?” He nodded towards it. You grabbed the spoon that was placed to the side and followed his instructions. 
“You know, it's pretty crazy we both live in L.A.”
“Yeah, I moved here for my work. I don't think I ever quite made it home though.”
“How come?”
“I don't know, it's so loud and in your face. I think that's fine some of the time but other times I just want to hide away with the quiet.”
“Not a fan of partying it up large?”
“Oh I can party- trust me. I'm no shut in but like sometimes I need to rest. Just curl up in bed on my phone.”
“I get that.”
“Really? You seem so high energy all the time.”
“Ah trust me sometimes the Cage needs to chill at home with a drink. Not often-” He paused. “-But sometimes yeah.”
He stared off for a moment before he snapped back to the onions. Johnny grabbed the small bowl of garlic and dumped it. It sizzled and added to the inviting scent of the onions. 
Johnny added the passata and his lineup of spices and continued to mix the pan. “So what do you do for your work? I don't think I remember you saying at the academy.”
“Ah, it's not very interesting compared to you.”
“Awww come on, I still want to know. Considering how big of a deal it is for you.’
“Mmm, I'm an artist I suppose.”
“Woah really?” 
“Kinda I guess. It's whatever, I'm not really a fan of taking about it, to be honest.”
“No problem here, if you don't want to talk about it that's fine by me.” He smiled. 
“I appreciate it. But what about you? How's the directing business going?”
“Oh fantastic honestly, Mortal Kombat? A massive hit let me tell you. What did you think of it? Comparing it to real life.”
“I uh haven't actually gotten around to watching it.”
His jaw dropped and turned his entire body to face you. “You haven't watched it?”
“I guess I was scared maybe? Like I presume you put someone as me in it and I didn't really want to see myself portrayed?”
“Hey if you wanted me to write you out-”
“No, no, it's not that. I like that you're telling our story I just, ah, I've never been a fan of seeing recordings of myself.”
“You’re not? But how come? Loom at you your gorgeous. A grade triple S for super smoking sexy hottie.”
“It's a mental thing.” You shrugged and scratched your side. 
“Look, I don't understand that at all, but I respect that. How about I make a cut specially for you, that hasn't got you in it?””
You laughed and slapped his arm. “No Johnny that's sweet but I'm not going to get you to do that. Look if you want me to watch it that bad I will.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, you’re lucky you’re cute.”
“I’ll take it.” He pulled out some cream from the fridge and dumped it into the pan. Johnny turned it down to a simmer and got the cheese from the fridge. 
Johnny started to grate the cheese and you couldn't help but watch his muscles tense as he did so. You leaned against the countertop with your back and folded your arms. 
“How big of a cheese fan are you?” 
“Mmm go to town.”
“Hey hey! That's what I like to hear.” 
“Yeah?” 
“Oh, man I was dying there at the academy without it. Practically gorged myself when I got back.” Johnny turned off the element and strained the water from the pasta. He let it sit for a moment before he added the cheese and finally the Rotini. 
Johnny fished out a fork from his draw but as he went to try it you grabbed his wrist. Caught by curiosity, he allowed you to direct it towards you where you put it in your mouth. 
A moan got caught on your lips as you let go of his wrist and enjoyed the flavours that delighted the inside of your mouth. It was warm and comforting in every way it should be. 
“Mmm, this is really good Johnny!” 
Despite your compliment, he just stood there stunned “Johnny?”
“Huh? Oh yeah uh-” He cleared his throat and shook off his stunned state. “You go into the dining room over there and I'll bring it out.”
“You don't need my help?”
“Trust me you've been plenty of help, I'll be there in a second.”
The dining room was a lot more separate in its own way. It was on the side of the house and gave a view not to the pool but the large garden outside. It felt in its own way a lot more private somehow. 
There were two large solo unlit candelabras in the centre of the table while a setting for two had been prepared.
You found a seat and after a couple of moments, Johnny came through the door. He had a fake moustache on and a tea towel draped over one arm. Johnny held a pair of plates with a metal round cover over the top of them and practically bounced over to the table. 
He put one across from you and then one in front of you. The metal covering was lifted and he gestured towards it. “For the lady, our finest Rotini.” A return of the fake Italian accent. “And would she like a drink with her meal? Wine perhaps?”
“Waters fine thanks, I'd like to be able to remember this.”
There was a glint in his eyes at your words and he vanished for a moment. “The finest water we have.” He placed a glass on the table and then poured a jug into it. Johnny placed it on the table and then lit the two candles. 
“Now is there anything else we can do for the lady?” 
“Mmm, perhaps a dinner date would be nice, just someone to keep me company.” You played along and brought the glass of water to your lips. 
Johnny ripped off the fake moustache and dumped it to the side with the towel. “Hey look at all this! Mind if I join you?” 
“Be my guest.”
“Man, this place has great service.” Johnny slid into the seat across from you and removed the top. He was about to pick up his cutlery when he paused. Then he fished a small remote out of his pocket a clicked it. Behind you, a speaker started to lightly play soft music and you could only roll your eyes. 
“Hey got to have a good soundtrack to your life huh?”
“Whatever you say, Cage.” You bit into the pasta and you had to admit he had cooked it to perfection. “I admit I'm surprised you can cook this well.”
“My mom taught me when I was a kid. Credit goes to her. Was a pain in her ass too, I always kept eating everything.”
“Wow seemed like littles changed huh?”
“You love me.”
“Sure Cage whatever you say.”
The meal the pair of you eventually finished and Cage disappeared for a moment when he cleaned the table. You were left alone in the dining room as music continued to play. 
“Now, how are you? Looking for dessert because I can get us some if you want.”
“Ugh, I think I'll die if I eat another bite thanks.” 
“In that case…” He dramatically held out his hand. “May I have this dance?*
“You dance huh?” You took his hand. 
“Of course!” He led you past the end of the table where there was room. “Do you?” His voice was far lower and quieter than usual as you placed your hands against his chest where you leaned into him, far from proper form. 
“I do but I kinda just want to sway if that's okay.”
His hands settled on your waist as he soaked in your proximity. “Hey, anything the lady wants.” Johnny pulled you against him and the pair of you slowly swayed to the music. 
“I had fun with you tonight. It's been a long time since I cooked for let another cooked with someone.” 
“Thanks for cooking for me Johnny. Despite what I say, or when I act annoyed, I enjoyed myself as well. A lot.” You lift your head and looked into his eyes. Slowly, one hand drifted from behind his neck down to the side of his face where you cupped it. 
Johnny stayed almost completely still and allowed you to take the lead. Then slowly you started to lean in and just as you closed in, lips just about to touch- a loud barring sound came from your phone. 
Snapped out of it, you pulled away from Johnny and desperately went for your phone. 
“I'm so sorry I have to take this.” You apologised and answered your phone as you left the room. 
-
“Jackson you said you wanted work like my old stuff, this is like it.”
“Yeah, but a love album? The style might be the same but the messages? This is all different.”
“What do you mean it's not a love album it's a party one. Pop music about sex and shit.”
“I have fucking ears, Gale. I know when a song is about falling in love. Who's the person huh? At least give me a heads up before there's a scandal.”
“There's not- I'm- look” You stuttered as Johnny came into the living room and headed to get a drink but didn't disturb you. 
“We can talk about it tomorrow come into the studio tomorrow morning at eight. The actual one, not your home one.”
“What? No, I always work from home I'm not-”
“That was before you delivered me a fucking love album. This is not your old work!”
“But it's the work you're getting from me you can take it or leave it.” You hissed. 
“Look, we can make it work we just have to do a little editing. Just come into the studio, no buts. Be there.”
“No I-” The line went dead. You let out a sigh of frustration and combed your hair with your hand. 
“Might have only heard some of your side but I presume that was work?”
“Yeah my manager called, I have to come in tomorrow. Look Johnny this has been great really and I wish I could stay but if I'm going I'm tomorrow I really need to get back home and retire.” Guilt formed on your face but he didn't get mad. 
Cage shrugged and draped an arm around you. “Don't sweat it, we’ll get you home nice and early. There's always next time.”
“Next time?” You cocked a brow as the pair of you started to head towards his front door. 
“Yeah. Next time.”
Admittedly you spent most of the car ride grumbling about your manager as Johnny attempted to cheer you up. Eventually, you found yourself back at Lisa’s doorstep. 
“Thanks for the ride, Johnny.” You stood in the doorway as he leaned on the door frame. 
“Anytime.”
“I had a good time, that was really nice.”
“That's what I've been telling you babe!” You rolled your eyes at him and snaked an arm around his neck. You leaned in and soon your lips connected with his. At first, he only moved slowly, testing the waters to see where you were going with matters but as you pulled him against you he committed fully. 
He pressed against your body as one hand found your backside and started to feel it up. Johnny's tongue danced against your own. Just as he started to get comfortable you broke away. A sound rumbled from his throat and you couldn't help but grin at him. Your hand drifted from his neck up to cup his cheek. 
“Fuck.” He whispered and went to kiss your neck, just one last touch. With your free hand, you gently pressed on his chest and he got the idea. 
“Goodnight Johnny.” You hummed and you swore he practically whined. 
“One more.”
“Next time.” A promise. 
“Next time?” He sounded pleased at the motion. 
“Sure, got to give these back.” You stole the glasses off his face and escaped out of his grip. One last wink, you shut the door behind you. Lisa popped up from the couch with wide eyes.

ATEEZ IN LOVE - Jongho
Brace yourself, because Jongho's not going to be an easy one to crack. Because if you don't know him, you might not ever know he's in love with you.
We may even go so far as to say HE might not even know he’s in love with you until everything hits him like a truck, all at once.
Tumblr media
Don't get it wrong, Jongho is a sweetheart. He's so easy to love, but he's a challenge to read.
To be honest, this whole thing is going to be a race between you and him. Who’s going to find out he’s in love with you first? You or him? Yup, read that again. I said what I said.
He might not even know he’s in love, but luckily you’re a lot more aware of him than he is of himself.
Tumblr media
He’s a very aware and observant guy. But it’s normally only ever utilized when he’s watching other people or preparing for a performance. His quietness allows him to be observant.
But for some God-forsaken reason, he can’t apply any of that to being in love.
It’s not that he never felt it, but Jongho is never caught unaware. So when he began to realize he was looking for your smell on his jacket, or falling into a nasty mood because you weren’t around, he couldn’t quite articulate what kind of feeling was bubbling.
At first, he thought he was mad at you for becoming distant or changing, when really, it was him. He was seeing you differently.
And he didn’t like it.
Tumblr media
Why were you glowing?
Why did he have the sudden urge to reach out and touch your cheeks?
Why couldn’t he stop staring at your lips?
And since when did you banshee singing voice sound like music to his ears? HIS ears? A national treasure. A UNESCO heritage site—Jongho’s precious ears, the aide to his angelic voice—his ears craved the sound of you squawking to a trot song.
Jongho in love is a lot to unpack.
Jongho is rarely ever confused. If anything, of all his hyungs, his intellectual compass conks out the least.
You see, while others brighten up, get erratic, or sadden when they're in love, Jongho somehow falls into bomb detonator mode.
You know how the bomb squad is so focused when trying to deactivate a bomb? Yeah, he gets like that.
It's like his insides are freaking out.
Suddenly he forgot how to talk to you. He can't make eye contact. He’s unable to function. How the hell are you even doing this to him?
Tumblr media
The man retreats into a very silent meltdown. One where he just goes over and over the way the corner of your eyes wrinkle when you laugh or the way he imagines what kissing you would be like.
No one actually teaches anyone what love is. There’s no lesson about how to identify if you’re in love. It’s just one of those things you’re just supposed to learn in life as you live it.
That shit infuriated Jongho because he hates not understanding the reason behind something.
Tumblr media
He then finds himself suspiciously prepared for first-degree murder whenever his hyungs bring up his unprocessed feelings for you or the chemistry you two have.
That one time Mingi pulled Jongho aside to check if he knew how to use a condom, gave Mingi one of the most prominent shin bruises he’a ever had.
Let the man figure it out on his own, guys.
Tumblr media
Isn't love supposed to be blissful?
Why can't Jongho sleep?
Why doesn’t his pillow smell like you?
Where even were you if you wouldn’t be next to him or him you?
Tumblr media
He may have resisted this for a good amount of time, but the moment it dawns on him that he's in love with you, things start to fall into place.
His gentleness takes over.
Jongho suddenly wants to do everything to protect you, express his loyalty, and make you smile. To him, loving you was always something he could do so easily. The challenge was realizing he loved you and was sexually attracted to you at the same time.
Tumblr media
Jongho always knew you were someone he could never live without. It was only when he realized his love for you that he saw life beyond him being a constant friend. He now saw life where you were all he needed. He wanted you to see him as your forever person.
Tumblr media
When you finally agreed to date him, you expected things would start slow. Instead, you walked right into the perfect date where you two did everything you wanted.
Jongho never forgets. He never forgets those times you pointed at things you liked or wanted to do. He realized how deeply he knew you all these years.
He never missed out on anything about you.
Though it seems as though he had just fallen in love with you, the truth is actually that he had loved you so much he was already in a place where loving you was his first instinct.
It just so happened that it took him this long to realize that he wanted you to be the only one he loved this way.
Tumblr media
You were the only one he could see.
And though it took a while, he soon realized you were all he wanted to see.

Okay so I’ve seen people draw characters hugging their s/o and when the one being hugged asks what the other is doing they answer that they’re “recharging”. How would the bad batch react to a reader that just wants to hold on to them for a second to recharge?? Would any of them consider hanging onto the reader for the same purpose? Thank you <3
Aloha!
Oh, this is such a sweet thought, just thinking about it makes me melt 🥰
The Bad Batch x Reader HCs - A Restorative Hug
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: Just Fluffy Stuff
_______________
Tumblr media
Hunter
He's talking to one of his brothers. You're standing behind him, he knows that and has already thrown you a smile over his shoulder. He also senses your impatience, even if you don't say anything. Hunter knows you're waiting for him to end the conversation and turn to you. When he finally turns around, you surprise him with an outright attack of a hug. "Oh, look at you," he says, amused, "I've missed you too" You snuggle up to him as he wraps his arms around you with a deep sigh that sounds both relieved and tired. "Are you okay?" he asks gently, kissing your temple. "Yeah, I'm fine, just recharging" He laughs softly and asks, "On me?" "Mhm," you mumble softly in agreement. With a soft chuckle, he pulls you tighter into his arms and says, "Okay, then get all the energy you need"
Echo
With a weary sigh, Echo puts down the holopad with the inventory he was checking as you wrap your arms around him. At first, he is surprised, he didn't even hear you come in. "Hey, my love," he finally says softly, putting the holopad aside and wrapping his arms around you. Almost simultaneously, you both sigh, relaxed and relieved. "Missed you all day," you mumble, snuggled against his chest. "Really?" he asks with a small grin, still holding you close to him. "From the second you left the room," you confirm. The smirk on his face widens. Echo kisses your head and leans his cheek against your own. "That feels good, feels like home," he says contentedly. You say softly, "I can feel my batteries recharging" Echo laughs softly, "Indeed"
Wrecker
Wrecker is always up for a hug, anytime, and anywhere it can be arranged. As soon as he notices that you want to hug him, he takes off his chest plate so that you can lean directly against him and feel his body heat. "That's better, isn't it?" You nod with a smile and snuggle close to him as his long, strong arms wrap around you. It feels warm, safe and secure. "The best place in the world," you say, sighing contentedly. Wrecker strokes your back gently, kisses your head and grins. He loves it when you snuggle up to him, he's generally a great cuddler. He already knows that this is how you recharge your batteries, that you draw energy from him. "Wrecker has all the energy in the world for you, just take your time," he says with a gentle laugh.
Tech
You wait for him to put the damn holopad down. But it's a long wait, most days he even falls asleep with it in his hand. You roll your eyes, but Tech is fully focused on his calculations. Impatiently, you dive under the holopad between his arms and look at him reproachfully as he looks down at you, puzzled. "What's it going to be when it's done, my dear?" he asks gently, if surprised. "I need physical closeness, you're neglecting me again. I need my recharging hug at least" Tech blinks several times, finally tucking the holopad back onto his belt and finally wrapping his arms around you. "Recharging hug? Is that something metaphorical?" he asks curiously as you snuggle up to him. "Yes and no," you say, snuggling close to him "I feel safe with you, warmed and loved, that gives me energy... when you're not neglecting me again that is" Tech hastily adjusts his goggles, then puts his arm around you again. "I understand," he says matter-of-factly and adds gently, "Forgive me my dear, I never neglect you on purpose." You sigh softly, "I know, Tech," and let him hold you tightly in his embrace.
Crosshair
You listened to him, Crosshair has just told you something rather rambling about his last mission. He doesn't do that too often, so you didn't want to interrupt him. But you're losing patience, so you just hug him as he's in mid-sentence. Crosshair falls silent instantly. His eyes scan the surroundings. You are alone, no one is watching you. Finally, he returns the hug with a soft sigh. "No patience again?" he asks with a raised eyebrow. You snort softly and press yourself closer to him. "Just hold me tight and keep talking while I recharge," you mumble against his chest. Crosshair sighs, but he smirks. His thumb traces gentle circles on your back as he continues.

EMERGENCY REQUEST
could you do sero, kaminari, and kirishima (all seperate) comforting an s/o who struggles with major depression? she masks really well so no one knows she’s struggling to feel any sort of emotion at all, but whenever she messes up or doesnt get a good grade, everyone around her calls her lazy, says she isnt trying hard enough. i’ve really been struggling with this lately. thank you <3
Sero, Denki & Kirishima with s/o struggling with depression - headcanons
EMERGENCY REQS MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Sero
Late at evening, in the quiet corners of the shared dorm, Sero notices your distant gaze as you stare blankly at your textbooks.
Sero sits down beside you. "Hey, you okay? You've been kinda distant lately."
You offer a weak smile, "Yeah, just tired, I guess."
Sero isn't buying it. He wraps an arm around your shoulder casually, "Come on, spill it. You can't fool me, Y/N."
You take a deep breath, unsure if you should open up, but his easygoing demeanor encourages you. "It's just... I'm struggling, Hanta. People think I'm lazy, but it's like I can't feel anything."
Sero listens attentively, understanding dawning on his face. "You don't have to carry all that alone, you know? We're here for you, me and the others. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning, and everyone thinks I'm lazy or not trying hard enough when that's not the case... I feel trapped... And I didn't want to be a bother."
Sero leans in, offering a comforting hug and a little peck to your cheek. "Y/N, lend me your ear for a moment. You're genuinely one of the most resilient individuals I've ever known, and I truly admire that about you. Life has a way of throwing challenges our way, and despite our best efforts, there are moments when achieving top grades or succeeding in every aspect seems elusive. But you know what? That's absolutely okay! You deserve kindness from yourself, especially during those times. Embrace the imperfections, and be gentler with your own journey. I love you for who you are. And you're far from being a bother to me."
A gentle smile graces your lips in response to your boyfriend's heartfelt words as you gaze at him. "You're always so sweet to me, Hanta…"
He smirks, pulling you into a warm embrace. "I can appreciate every bit of you, imperfections and all. To me, you're perfect with every single one of them."
Tumblr media
Denki
Kaminari notices your distant demeanor during class, and one day, after a particularly tough exam, he catches you alone in the courtyard. "Hey, you okay? You seemed kinda down in there."
You brush it off, "Just stressed, you know? College is tough."
Kaminari grins, "But seriously, if you ever need to talk, I'm here, babygirl." The gravity of the situation you're currently facing hasn't fully dawned on him yet.
It takes a while, but one day, you find yourself sharing your struggles with him after the lectures. "People think I'm not trying, but it's like I can't find the energy to care."
Kaminari's eyes soften. "You're not lazy, okay? Sometimes things get tough, but you're not alone. You have me by your side, yeah?"
"I understand, but you've got your own burdens to bear, and I don't want to pile on more…" you murmur, head bowed, as you both walk back to the dorm hand in hand.
Kaminari's hand tightens around yours, his fingers entwining with yours. "Sweetheart, you should have shared this with me sooner. I'd find a way to support you. Promise me, never keep things from me, alright?"
"But, Denki…"
"Shush, shush, baby."
As you share your struggles with the constant pressure and the fear of judgment, Kaminari offers a supportive smile. "You know, sometimes I feel like I'm not the brightest either, but it's okay. We all have our strengths. It doesn't define you."
Denki comes to a sudden stop, gently drawing you into a warm, encompassing hug. His arms wrap around you snugly, and he rests his chin tenderly on top of your head. "I have complete faith in you. You're incredibly intelligent, and I beg you not to be too harsh on yourself, my beautiful smartie."
Gently cradling your face in his hands, he guides your gaze towards him. Leaning in, he tenderly presses his lips against yours, savoring the moment. Breaking the kiss, he whispers softly, "You can count on me. I'm here to support you."
Tumblr media
Eijiro
Kirishima, ever the embodiment of strength and resilience, notices the subtle signs of your struggle. One day, after a training session, he catches you on your way out. "Hey, mind sparing a moment?"
You hesitate but decide to open up. "It's just that people think I'm not trying hard enough, and it's hard to prove them wrong, Eijiro."
His sincere concern is evident as you share your feelings. Kirishima nods, understanding. "I get it. But you don't have to prove anything to anyone. You're the best the way you are. We're a team, and I've got your back."
It takes time, but you slowly unravel more of your struggles to him. "I'm just so tired all the time, Eijiro."
Kirishima places a hand on your shoulder, giving a reassuring squeeze. The red-haired man nods, understanding the pressure to always appear strong. "You don't have to carry it all alone, you know. It's okay to let someone in."
As you emerge from the locker room, having changed into your regular clothes, you find Kirishima standing in the corridor, leaning casually against a wall.
His eyes light up as he spots you, and a warm smile graces his face. "There you are, sweetpie! Come on! I'm taking you for mochi!" he declares, enthusiasm evident in his voice.
A slight frown caresses your forehead as you consider the time constraints. "But we need to get back to the dorm…"
Kirishima reassures you with a playful grin, "Don't worry, I talked with Aizawa-sensei, and we have an hour. So, better let's move!" His excitement is contagious, and you find yourself unable to resist the invitation to a spontaneous mochi adventure.
On the path to the quaint restaurant nestled just around the corner from U.A., Kirishima walks beside you, his hand firmly entwined with yours. Absentmindedly, he traces soothing circles on the back of your hand with his thumb, a comforting rhythm in sync with your steps.
As you approach the entrance, he stops, turning to face you with a genuine warmth in his eyes. "I love you, Y/N," Kirishima declares, his voice a steady anchor. "It pains me to see that you've been concealing your true feelings for such an extended period, allowing the weight to accumulate within you. Please, always remember, you can come to me and share your struggles. I promise to be there for you, helping you find a way out of whatever challenges life throws your way."

Baul 2
Summary: You hand Baul a fruit for him to peel and it leads to an unusual heart-to-heart that made you realize you may have messed up.
(More time travel shenanigans! Because I cannot resist. I like the thought of Baul giving an accidental hint and Janitor immediately mentally going "oh shit!" This is what the Janitor gets for being a fae magnet.)
Tumblr media
You were given a strange fruit by Lilia for you to munch on. You didn't really know how to go about eating it, honestly. It looked like nothing you've ever seen, so instead of fumbling and potentially having Lilia snark at you, you left and sat down on a nearby log.
Before you know it, Baul exited the main camp and walked towards you. You both caught eyes and you just nodded to him in greeting. He gave one back before speeding up to sit right next to you.
Wordlessly, you handed him the fruit and Baul took it without question.
"You need something, Baul?" Rare was it of him to come to you. Whenever he wants to enjoy the silence, he'd usually do that by himself.
Baul took out a knife and began to peel the fruit. He took his time in replying.
"It won't be long now, will it?"
You raised an eyebrow. "…that's ominous. Mind being more clear?"
Baul sighed as he tossed the long peel into the leaves besides him. "I've heard Lilia and her Highness speaking of returning you home. To a place, far… far from here."
…yeah, you'll finally be able to go back to your time. There was no chance of being able to recreate the spell from scratch, but there was enough unique residual magical energy to manipulate and activate. All they need is to simply, let it flow into its most natural path.
"Very far. And I don't think I'll be able to visit anytime soon."
"Hmm, of course," Baul mumbled, eyes narrowing, "not when you have many friends and loved ones waiting for your return. And certainly not with this possibility of war rising high over our heads."
"Staying would do me more damage than good," your time travel isn't a secret but it's certainly hard to believe. Whether or not they believe you, you don't know, but at least Baul understands that where you're going, it's very far.
"…I once thought you a danger," Baul started, now evenly slicing the fruit, "then an intruder, then an annoyance, and then…"
You leaned forward. "And then?"
He looked up to the night sky. "And then… you became someone I can think of as a peer. Someone I can call a… friend, I suppose. And someone…"
"Hmm?"
Baul grabbed a slice of the fruit and handed it to you as he gave a most gentle smile, "And someone who I can make a promise with. A promise to cherish anything and everything they have ever given me. So that I may never forget what joys people such as you can bring."
…oh.
…oh no.
His eyes glowed with a tender light under the full moon, his body was leaning towards you as though wanting to get closer. And his smile. It was a rare sight and it was one you were hoping you were wrong about.
You were hoping that… that this wouldn't happen. That this tenderness wouldn't exist.
This is not coming from a place of arrogance. You're not assuming that you're such a catch that Baul would be willing to wait for you for four hundred plus years, rendering the existence of Sebek null and void.
It's his words, his promise to hold his memories of you close, so that he may never forget what humans are capable of. To hold close the things you have given him.
He made a promise to you.
You had already grabbed the slice Baul handed to you. He fell silent as he let go but didn't retract his hand. His eyes focused on your finger tips while you remain frozen in time.
When he made to reach closer, inching just a bit, you retracted and stuffed the slice in your mouth.
"Aren't promises too heavy for that?" You leaned back on the log, facing forward just so your internal storm doesn't show on your face, "You don't have to do that with my gifts. They're not some precious treasures you know? They're just things I make, do, and give. It's okay if you lose or replace them."
But you can't confront him in his face about it. You have to be careful, lest he shuts himself away, because you genuinely don't want to hurt him like that. Baul is… so similar to Sebek in how fiercely protective they are about matters of the heart. And the fact he was willing to let even a little hint of it slip past and not backtrack immediately told you the intensity of these feelings, and the acceptance of them.
It's dangerous. Too dangerous. You don't want anything to happen to Sebek. So you have to guide Baul away from you without burning this bridge.
"…human life is fleeting," Baul started, a soft timber, "when the time comes, and you must leave, then I will only have this to remember you by. Perhaps I will meet another human. Perhaps I will receive new gifts. But I cannot replace yours. I want to treasure them. Otherwise I'll-"
"If you forget, that's fine," you waved at Baul, casual as can be, "it's a nice sentiment, really, but you and I aren't immune to time. If you forget, even if you cherish everything as closely as you could, it's fine. All you can do is move on, Baul."
"But-" Baul leaned forward and the distress in his face had you quietly sighing.
"It's fine," you didn't want to but you had to keep him from talking, from keeping that promise, "as a friend, I just want you to find happiness. And if the memory of me brings you pain, then it's fine to forget me altogether. Just move forward, okay?"
"A human that doesn't mind being forgotten, huh?" Baul looked at you, as though trying to find something to comfort him, then gazed towards the ground, hands held together. "You… really have mastered the art of confusing me."
You didn't move to comfort him, but you sat on that log nonetheless. "I know. It can't be helped, so I can't really apologize for that."
"I'll get angry if you do," Baul's bard was very weak at best, spat out with tired laughter.
"I know, I know." You shrugged with a laugh yourself.

Tumblr media
Simon " Ghost " Riley
💀 ⁾ he tries to hide his pain from you
💀 ⁾ when you do find out he tries to push you and tell you he's okay when he really isn't. he doesn't understand that you don't find him weak and they you actually want to help him. not call him weak
💀 ⁾ when you finally convince him to let you help him he is a bitch about it the whole time. he " doesn't need your help ". you obviously beg to differ
💀 ⁾ he stays still for you though. he doesn't fight you
💀 ⁾ ghost won't tell you where it hurts so you physically have to tuouch every where until he winces or tenses up. it pisses him off that you can read him so well
💀 ⁾ when you finish patching him up he thanks you begrudgingly. you tell him what he needs to do and he actually listens to you. he knows deep down you're a good medic and that he can trust you but he's just so full of himself he thinks he's so perfect and doesn't need help
💀 ⁾ you two are kinda friends. he won't admit it but he actually wants to be on your good side. he wants you to teach him everything you know even though he probably won't remember it. he'll bring injured tranies to you just to watch you work on their wounds. he's very obviously mesmerized by how you know exactly what to do
💀 ⁾ when he finds out you've been drowning yourself in work he puts a stop to it. he is pissed off at you, the army, and everyone for being " so god damn clumsy "
💀 ⁾ he'll tell you to stop and will drag you from your office. he's not gonna be the most gentle about it. he'll sit you down on the couch, make you some leftovers, and do all the paperwork he can just for you. he doesn't want you to get sick. he doesn't want their medic to be sick
💀 ⁾ he also just doesn't want you to feel ill because he cares a lot
💀 ⁾ when you're on your forced break and someone gets an injury he does what he can and says that you'll check them out later. he's not kind about that so people know not to get hurt when you're on a break
💀 ⁾ you're very much " built to be a medic ", meaning you aren't meant to fight people, more help people so when someone calls you weak ghost is immediately pissed off. he obviously tells them off saying things like: " he does so much more than you do, soldier " and " next time you tend to your own damn wounds then, yeah? ". he's would fight anyone for you no matter if you can stand up for yourself or not
💀 ⁾ he does learn to respect you and your work but he'll never take your help when you first offer it. he's too proud
Tumblr media
John " Soap " MacTavish
🧼 ⁾ he is one of the few people that will actually go straight to you with his pain. he won't hide it from you
🧼 ⁾ he knows your too smart for his dumb ass trying to hide things from you and you'll find out in your own way. he'd rather you just know rather than you worrying. you worrying makes him sad
🧼 ⁾ when he tell you he follows up by saying " I can take care of it myself, don't worry mo ghràdh. " you obviously worry and tell him that he needs your help and that you will help him one way or another. he huffs at you and just lets you. your not worth fighting. he'd rather waste his energy on anything else. plus, he loves and appreciates you way to much to argue ( trans : my darling )
🧼 ⁾ when he finally gives in to you wanting to help he pouts like a toddler about it. he trusts your judgement and steady hand though. he admits that you're doing a better job that he could just to let you know that he does care
🧼 ⁾ he doesn't want you to feel useless because he wants to help himself
🧼 ⁾ he moves way too much. it was bold of you to assume he wouldn't. he just has way too much energy
🧼 ⁾ soap will tell you where it hurts just to make it easier on you. he will make a big deal out of small pains to make you feel more useful and to keep you busy
🧼 ⁾ he just wants to spend more time with you
🧼 ⁾ once you finish soap thanks you over and over again. you roll your eyes at him and have to physically push him out of your office. he just wants medic's to feel appreciated. he's seen them get walked all over and he's tired of it. he makes sure to write down the advice and tell someone else what you said just so he doesn't forget
🧼 ⁾ he's just a hyper active golden retriever and your one of his favorite people
🧼 ⁾ you two are fairly close. you keep him calm when he gets over exited by something or he has way too much energy for his own good. it's a bit contagious though you have to admit
🧼 ⁾ he just wants you to feel appreciated, if you couldn't tell already. he is a medic supporter and is probably your biggest fan. he's your own personal cheerleader
🧼 ⁾ when someone insults you he's quick to jump to your defense and yell at them. even if you had something to say he's going to say what he wants first. he isn't going to let you be pushed around. he'll say things like " say that again, I dare you " and " he knows how to kill you, keep that in mind ". most of the time people leave you alone after that. if soap is mad at someone ghost is quick to follow and they don't want to deal with him
🧼 ⁾ he respects you and make sure you know he loves you and you're doing great. especially when you feel down because people aren't the most thankful to medics
Tumblr media
John Price
🚬 ⁾ being well.. the dad of the group and their main sniper when he gets hurt its a big deal to the whole team. he shouldn't have even gotten hurt in the first place. that wasn't his job
🚬 ⁾ he doesn't even get a choice whether or not he gets to tell you. gaz and soap drag him into your office to check on him
🚬 ⁾ he tries to tell you that he's okay and won't let you tend to his wounds. he will fight you as nicely as he possibly can become he is convinced he is fine and that no, he doesn't help
🚬 ⁾ when you can finally convince him to just check him over price sighs but lets you help. he tries to tell you that he really doesn't need help but other than that he tells you that he appreciates the help and that you're doing well but he doesn't need your help. he tries to tell you that litterly anyone else could use your help. you have to physically get him to shut up
🚬 ⁾ when you do patch up his wounds they are bad most of the time because he doesn't just let the other person go. no, he has to kick their ass and win which means he gets more hurt than he should have been
🚬 ⁾ you're very gentle with him because if you're not he flinches or makes his pained dad noises ( we all know what I'm talking about... )
🚬 ⁾ he is just trying to convince you he doesn't need help. do I need to say it again? he doesn't need your help
🚬 ⁾ when you finish patching him up he's very thankful and tries to tell you he knows how to take care of his wounds. he does but when you pout at him he will listen. he really does just want to make you happy but at the same time he doesnt want you to waste your time on someone who already knows what he's doing

Kyle " Gaz " Garrick
💣 ⁾ the amount of times youve had to treat him for the most random ass wounds is insane. he doesn't even have to say anything for you to know he's accidentally hurt himself by doing dumb things
💣 ⁾ most are burn wounds from him accidentally exploding something. he smiles like an idiot cause he just knows what you'll say. its always something along the lines of : " again? " or " you're not a firefighter, stop acting like one "
💣 ⁾ he always smiles and says " you love me ". you can't help but laugh at him
💣 ⁾ he doesn't mind going to see you. your always so gentle with him and you don't make him talk to you. when he's excited about something you have him talk about it so 1) he stays still and 2) you can listen to his voice when he allows you too. he likes to listen to you too though, he'll always ask questions about the machines or what your doing
💣 ⁾ when he sits still long enough for you to treat his wounds he gives you a general area of where the pain is. its always a scavenger hunt to find where he burned himself this time
💣 ⁾ when its a battle wound he bleeds a lot for some reason. that means you have to work fast and it also works in your favor, you don't have to go hunting for his wound. gaz normally needs to be sedated so he stops moving so much or wincing. you do really feel bad but you don't want him to be hurt more than he already is
💣 ⁾ he tries to stay still for your sake, really! but he just can't seem to sit still. he has to be moving. you normally work around this by giving him something he can mess with while you work on his wounds
💣 ⁾ when you finish he thanks you once and only once before hurrying off to get out of your space. every time you have to fix him up he'll bring you your favorite candy. he'll leave it on your desk with a note that normally says something along the lines of : " I'm so sorry ", " it will happen again ", or " you're becoming my own personal medic ". they're always signed with " -K.G " and a messy heart with your initials in it. its always stuck to the bag of candy. you've kept all his notes in a drawer just to make him feel appreciated. and to tell him that you really do enjoy the notes
💣 ⁾ you two are quite close due to the amount of visits he has to your office. he gets mad and pouts like a toddler when he cant get you as his doctor. he'll pretty much refuse service from any other medic. you're his favorite. he just wants to be close to you. plus, if soap and price trust you and like you so will he. no questions asked. you're also so kind with him. he just thinks your an amazing person all around
💣 ⁾ he thinks of you like a younger / older brother and is very obvious about it. he never really had a brother and you fit what he thinkd a brother is perfectly
💣 ⁾ he's the one that figures out you're over working yourself. he tells everyone else because he's way too scared to get involved and make you mad. he just wants to make sure you're okay. even if its indirectly helping you out
💣 ⁾ when anyone teases you gaz gets involved. no questions asked. he isn't good at being angry when talking so he quickly gets physical. he isn't afraid to start a fight as long as its to help his family. you normally talk him out of it but he still isn't happy. he complains to price about it and makes him do something about it. he isn't going to let you get shoved around for doing the job you wanted. and the job you we're so god damn good at. you were the few medics that actually took their job seriously
💣 ⁾ he appreciates everything you do and voices that. he will always tell you how amazing you are. whether its through notes, words, or gifts. he very obviously loves giving you gifts. just to cheer you up or make you feel loved

Alejandro Vargas
🗡 ⁾ he's a bit of an idiot and gets hurt on everything. he refuses to see you a lot of the time. normally rudy will force him to see you
🗡 ⁾ he's too proud to let you treat him
🗡 ⁾ most of the time you treat him for small cuts that he accidentally did just walking to fast. sometimes you have to treat him for exhaustion because he overworks himself constantly and can't ever seem to pull himself away from his work. you always sigh at him and give him medication and watch him to make sure he drinks water. you also have rudy keep an eye on him for the next week
🗡 ⁾ when its a battle wound you normally get him when he's unconscious anyways. he puts his own injuries to the side to make sure rudy is okay. you always lecture him after about how he actually needs to take care of himself
🗡 ⁾ he always manages to get wounds in the most obscure spots. like, my man, were you trying to get the award of " the most dumbass to ever dumbass "? he always fist fights over actually shooting someone. that makes him end up with bloody knuckles and you always get so mad because theres not a lot you can do about it and you don't want to see him hurting
🗡 ⁾ he make him stay in his own hospital room for a few days after just so you can get it into his head that he needs to take care of himself and do as you ask. if he doesn't listen you make him stay longer. he always calls you mean but he knoes your right
🗡 ⁾ you've gotten him to stay in the hospital longer and rest by asking him to teach you some Spanish. it works like a charm. he gets so involved he forgets he's even resting. you alsi use this trick when your checking and cleaning his wounds. when your rebandaging his wounds he is so focused on your movements so he knows how to wrap wounds
🗡 ⁾ he does thank you. but its through small gifts like new medical supplies, pocket knives, guns, some things that are sweet but are definitely military based
🗡 ⁾ one time he gave you some flowers
🗡 ⁾ your not friends per say but you are close. he's like your uncle, your very annoying uncle. he can really only stand you because your good friends with rudy. or at least thats what he says. he really does want to be your friend, truly, but he's too scared that your mad at him for being such a brat when you treat him. he asks you if you two are actually friends / close or if you only tolerate him because you have to. you say something along the lines of " i could ask you the same ". you teo do become friends over time. after that, you wouldn't trade him for the world
🗡 ⁾ when he finds out your overworking yourself he uses your words against you and treats you just like you had him when he was exhausted and wasn't taking care of himself. it pisses you off but you're happy to know he cares about you
🗡 ⁾ the moment any rude comment twoards you slips out of anyones mouth he is immediately involved. he is normally cussing at them in Spanish while shoving them away from you angrily. he isn't letting you take shit. he knows you deserve better. hes a bit over protective of you. he always says its because you're his nephew and its his job to protect you
🗡 ⁾ he really dows respect and love you. not just as a medic but as a human being in general. your constant kindness and your convincing you attitude is admirable in his eyes

Rodolfo " Rudy " Parra
🔦 ⁾ he's such a sweetie. he's one of the few people that will go into your office without a fight. he doesn't want you worrying. he also makes sure to keep his trips short
🔦 ⁾ he doesn't want you overworking for his sake
🔦 ⁾ most of the injuries you see him for are injuries from battle. he normally doesn't have a lot but they're always pretty bad. you always sigh as he's sent on another mission. he's like your other dad. you don't want him hurt at all. you're always more rough with him. it makes it easied for you to work faster and he has been hurt so many times he doesn't mind the pain
🔦 ⁾ you've had to sadate him multiple times because you know how painful his wounds would be. even if he really doesn't mind the pain
🔦 ⁾ if hes wounded with a wound you wouldn't wish on another human being you're sadating him. no questions asked. you will knock him over the head with a bat if you have to
🔦 ⁾ you usually have him under observation. no matter the wound. you just can't be careful enough. you want to make sure he's actually okay
🔦 ⁾ i mean, rudy gets the most dumb wounds ever that are so painful you even wince when he moves to fast
🔦 ⁾ normally when you do your routine checks or your removing his stitches you talk to him in what Spanish alejandro has been teaching you. he'll laugh about how stupid you sound but will help you out where he can. you're mainly distracting himself from his wounds over distracting him from his wounds
🔦 ⁾ when you finish up or his wounds are healed he thanks you. he'll hug you. if you don't like hugs he'll tell you he's proud of you and he'll bring you food. most times at lunch you don't eat anyways so what the harm in bringing you food, right? he likes to sit with you at lunch anyways
🔦 ⁾ this is also his way of making sure you stop working for a while
🔦 ⁾ you both are really good friends. he's over protective of you and you're always worried about him so it works for you both. his constant need to make sure nobody is messing with you and your constant need yo make sure he's okay and not hurting himself by accident makes you inseparable aside from when you're both working. thats one of the few times you two aren't seen together
🔦 ⁾ he's tried so hard to stop you ftom overworking yourself but it just doesn't seem to work. you always manage to do it anyways. he'll lock your office and take your keys if he has to. you do not need to be constantly working. he doesn't need two alejandro situations on his hands. one is enough
🔦 ⁾ when someone makes a rude comment or teases you or you just seem uncomfortable with someone at all he will get involved. you never know how he even manages to find out. he always does. its a bit scary but its nice to feel loved and protected. and when rudy is protecting you alejandro is also protecting you indirectly. he will make that person run and apologize. then next time they get hurt he makes sure they get one of the meanest medics the base has. he will not let anyone get away with bullying his favorite medic
🔦 ⁾ he respects and appreciates you for what you do and he voices that. you'll always be his favorite ' kid '. he always makes sure you know he loves you. no matter what

Wc: 1.5k
Tumblr media
Blue didn't like sharing. Not usually. Sometimes he could bare it, though only if he was in full control of the situation, calling the shots. And you didn't mind this about him, it made you feel special.
This wasn't your first rodeo, you and Blue had done this before, but it was always exciting. Different. Someone would pay Blue alot of money, and he would lead them to your room to watch Blue fuck his favourite doll. This time was no different- you waited patiently, sat on the ornate, oddly circular bed. You wore what was essentially a playboy bunny suit, that hugged all your curves and bumps just right, and pushed your tits up on display. It even came with a white tail above your rear, and a pair of bunny ears on a headband, in blue, naturally.
You heard footsteps, and the door creaked open. In walked a man you had seen before, coming yo watch each of your shows for the last couple of weeks. He was young, and decently attractive, but nothing compared to Blue, who followed in after him, winking at you. You smiled at the nervous stranger, in an effort to ease his anxiety. Blue pointed him to a chair at the other end of the room, before coming to stand next to where you sat, stroking your face as you looked up at him innocently.
"Isn't she pretty?" Blue's voice was soft, the man gulped and nodded. "Beautiful." Blue moved to kneel on the bed next to you, cradling your face in his hands.
"Now, you remember the one rule I have?" "No touching her." "No touching her, correct, good, great. We all understand?" Both you and the stranger nodded.
"Good. Now..." Blue's hands trailed down to chest, then your stomach, then your thighs, pushing them apart from the stranger to watch as he palmed your cunt through the costume. You sucked in a breathe, spreading your legs further apart;
"Any requests?" Blue asked the man so casually, as if asking what drink he'd like at the bar, not which way he wanted to watch you being fucked.
The poor man stammered, "U-um-" "C'mon now, don't be shy." Blue's gaze was firey, and fixed on the man. You suspected he too liked to watch other people get off on you. They just had to keep their distance, that's all.
The strangers gaze was fixed on how delicately Blue's finger slipped under the costume to ever so slightly gaze over your slick folds. You breathed out a moan, falling back against the bed.
"C-could you take her costume off?"
Blue grinned. "Your wish is my command, c'mere sweetheart-" His hands were uncharacteristically gentle with you, as he pushed you over slightly to draw the zipper of your costume down, and you aided him in shuffling it off, throwing it to the floor. You'd discreetly removed your underwear before this interaction, and so you were left in the bunny-ear headband and heels. Immediately Blue went to cup your breasts, squeezing them together, and you whined as he pinched both your nipples hard.
The strangers breathing got heavy, poor guy, this was probably the most R rated thing he'd seen up close.
"C-can you, like, finger her until she cums? I-i wanna see it." Blue sucked in a breath through his nose, and chuckled. "Sure can, you can cum bunny, can't you? Just need a little stimulation and you'll be gushing all over the place, huh? Yeah, that's right.." You keened into him, as he laid on his side next to you, propping himself up on his elbow, hand coming around to stroke your hair again, as you clawed a hand into his dress shirt, the other into the bedsheets.
Blue's other hand came down once again to play with your clit, squeezing it between his fingers as you whined out and shivered. The pad of his fingers were a little rough, but not too much. He circled your bundle of nerves a few times, slowly, making sure you were wet enough, before plunging one, then two of his fingers deep within you. You squirmed, rolling your hips to the rhythm of his fingers. Normally he liked to tease you, but the practically vicious drag of his fingers in and out, in and out, in and out... told you he was impatient. You opened your mouth to moan again, but it was replaced with Blue's tongue as he kissed you. Your mouths danced against eachother, and soon you were coming, arching your back as you fought to keep your legs open, so that the stranger could still see. Your face was flushed and your body glistened with sweat, as the pleasure rolled off your core in hot waves, impossibly warm.
Overestimating you until you cried was one of Blue's favourite pastimes, and it was much the same here, as fingers just kept going and going, rolling inside you in the "Come hither" motion, until your eyes were blurry with tears and you had to force his hand off of you, whining and panting.
Blue licked his lips. "How was that, babygirl? Why don't you tell our friend here how good it was?" Your voice was hoarse and tired; "S-so good... always so good, Blue." The man in question smirked, and kissed your forehead, then hummed.
"Mmmmm... what do you think? She deserve to get fucked?" "Y-yes, yes, she does, yes." You moaned at the man's mercy. Blue hummed again, before sliding his hand under you, and dragging you into a sitting position on his lap, facing away from him. Your head lay against his strong shoulder, allowing yourself to be manhandled above him. He had pulled his trousers down slightly, so that his cock sprang free, hard and warm against your back.
Your thighs were sore, but still you pushed yourself up on them, circling your hips around the thick head of his cock, moaning in tandem with Blue. His hands were fixed on your hips;
"You ready, sweetheart?" "Mhm," came your meek response, turning into a wail of pleasure as you were dragged down onto his cock. It was thick, and you could feel every vein and twitch of it inside you. It bore against that spongy spot inside you that made you see stars. Sex with Blue was always amazing, but it was extra special having someone watch you. Sure, some might call you vain, but you enjoyed the way men would sit and wish it was them stretching out your cute little pussy, knowing that you'd never give them the chance. There was only one man who made you feel this was, and he was currently balls deep inside you.
As you bounced on his cock, your eyes flicked over to the stranger that paid to see you like this. The tent in his trousers was obvious, yet he hadn't started jerking off yet. Maybe he was embarrassed. Odd, considering you were the only one naked here, but you didn't judge. Anyway, your brain was so filled with thoughts of nothing but Blue's dick. Your mouth lolled open, eyes fixed now on the stranger, and moaning. It felt so good to be watched, to be wanted.
Your stupour was broken however, when a harsh slap met your cheek. You whimpered, as Blue squeezed your cheeks between his fingers and forced your head away from the man, staring at him instead.
"Don't look at him, look at me." His tone was rough, and you whimpered again, but did as you were told. With his eyes boring into your own, it wasn't a surprise that you came for a second time soon after, as did he, groaning and tumbling with eachother into the pit of ecstasy.
There were a few moments where you just held eachother, afterwards, panting and sweaty. Eventually he lifted you off his cock, and you both moaned in unison at the sight and feeling of his cum dripping out of your abused hole. You were laid gently on the bed beside him, sighing and snuggling down into the sheets, exhausted. Blue took a moment to admire your visage, post-fuck. Before tucking himself away and ushering the stranger out of the room. Your thoughts were blurry, but you were warm, and tired, and the bed felt so soft.. you barely registered Blue returning to curl his arms around you midsection and nuzzle your hair.
"Did so good, babygirl, put on such a good show..." He tucked your hair behind your ear, and kissed your head once again. You were privy to a side of Blue that many didn't even know existed, and you honoured to be special enough for that. Sleep soon overtook you, the last thing you felt before it did, were Blue's hands caressing your shoulder, with a sweetness you would not have expected of a man who didn't like to share his toys.

Boyfriend Dazai | Bungo Stray Dogs
Tumblr media
a/n I'm rising from the grave since bsd has returned. hello this is long and unedited.
++++++
oh boy it this a wild ride of complex relationship. Loving Dazai can be very hard and confusing.
Honestly, how this man won you over with his charms, is beyond you and him. That shall remain a mystery forever.
More than likely though, you probably fell for him first. Yes, he found you attractive the moment he laid eyes on you and even suggested you commit double suicide with him, but it was nothing more than that.
He plays around too much and doesn't think much about it. And when there is that tinge of possibly liking you more than he originally though, he'll do his best to ignore it until all he can think about is being around you. It's annoying, really, but he can't help but have fallen for you.
It might not be obvious he loves you at first, but whenever it's just the two of you, he'll be his most genuine self. Yeah, he goofs around still, but it's easier to talk to you. He tells you about his day and what he's feeling, which isn't something he normally does with his other colleagues.
Dazai never outright tells you, but he wants to be yours and you to be his, and it becomes obvious with his actions and how intimate and gentle he is when it comes to you.
When the two of you are dating, he's an absolute m e n a n c e and the office's #1 enemy.
He doesn't give a FUCK who he's in front of, he'll love on you no matter what. In fact, he finds it funny better when there's an audience. How flustered you look and how disgusted Kunikida looks is a wonderful treat.
Thankfully it's nothing more than a quick peck to the cheek, some clinging, or the possible ass grab from him in public. He just loves to tease you. He tends to leave more intimate things for later. It's not that he's shy in the slightest, he just doesn't need anyone to see that side of him. There's also the matter of him being a very possessive man and he would rather not anyone else, but him see you like that.
When it comes to these private intimate moments, he's very gentle with you and surprisingly sweet. Very different than his public image. There are times when you're just sitting together and he takes ahold of your hand and softly kisses each of your fingertips and moves to your knuckles. He could spend all day just worshipping you with kisses and creases.
Speaking of possessive Dazai, he gets jealous very easily. It's not evident at first, but the clingier he becomes, the easier it is to spot.
Never ever blames you for his jealousy. He can understand why others may want your attention, after all you're such a beautiful thing. But that doesn't mean others can approach you with the means to flirt with you. He will always give the person a menacing stare that tells them it's better to run now. But that's all it ever is. Dazai won't act rash unless absolutely necessary. He won't stand anyone harassing his s/o.
Dazai never officially plans a date. He's taken you out on many, but they're never planned. Planning ruins the surprise in his opinion, so he usually takes you on "spur of the moment" dates. The two of you could be doing literally anything when Dazai suggests both of you step out to have some dinner at this really expensive restaurant. How does he afford it? No idea.
Arguments with him aren't usually serious, but they happen a fair amount, mostly because of his carelessness. He's either being sneaky or he's putting himself in complicated situations again. And to this, he usually brushes it off, but there's a twinge of guilt each time. But at the end of the day, he does his damn best to make it up to you. He knows he's not a good person, far from it, but he wouldn't know what he'd done if he lost you. He loves you so much that he can't even express it and he does realize how much you've changed him as a person.
So, he'll show up in front of your door with flowers in hand and a solemn look, apologizing (even if he's not entirely sorry). He just doesn't want you to hate him.
Smut below
tw / knife kink, choking
Welcome to the d-d-danger zone *air horns*
Listen, Dazai is an enigma to himself and everyone else. He's goofy af one moment, and then the next he's out for blood.
He's very experienced in sex and has had quite a few encounters, especially during his days in the mafia.
After leaving, however, those sexual encounters became less frequent and almost nonexistent since he's a changed man. Just because he's been on the bench for a while, doesn't mean he's forgotten how to play.
If it's your first time and you've chosen him, he'll feel very special and make sure to take it slow. He loves you dearly and wouldn't want to make you feel any less (unless you asked of course, then he's happy to oblige). But that doesn't stop him from teasing you the entire time as his fingers linger near where you want him most. He'll drag it out as long as he needs to ensure your his and he's yours.
After a while though, the two of you will become so attuned to each and you'll learn more about Dazai's demonic side. It isn't long before he becomes more comfortable with you and chooses (with your consent) to be rougher with you and show you more of him than you thought possible.
I 100% believe port mafia! dazai had a knife kink. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be, but he wouldn't mind dabbling in the kink again if you're interested. If not, then he'll go the milder route and just torture you in other ways.
For example, Dazai is a big fan of seeing you cry, and what better way to see you cry then to deny you over and over again of sweet release? Every time you feel the tight coil in your gut, and he sees your face scrunch up, he knows to halt all actions and hold you down. He knows your body like the back of his hand, so hearing your delicious whimpers when he stops you from orgasming is like music to his ears.
Brat tamer. I will not elaborate further.
Dazai might be a little sadistic.
On another note, he may also be a bit masochistic as well.
He does not mind at all if you want to take control of him. In fact, he loves the idea of you pinning him down to take revenge on him. Perhaps a choking kink, but that's up to you. Just saying though, the way he cums while you have your hands wrapped around his neck is like an outer body experience for him and his face looks hot as he's struggling to breathe.

P.2 HH Lucifer-centric AU 11/?
STORY 1, PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, PART 4, PART 5, PART 6, PART 7, PART 8, PART 9, PART 10, PART 12, PART 13, PART 14, PART 14.5, PART 15, PART 16, PART 17, PART 18, PART 19, PART 20, PART 21
-----------------------------------------------
Lilith: Sign the papers, Lucifer.
Lucifer: Wha- Why?
Lilith: I don't think- This needs to end now. We both knew it won't last for all eternity.
Lucifer: Lily?
Lilith: I'm leaving.
Lucifer: Lilith, please! Talk to me! At least tell me why! How about Charlie! Our daughter, Lily!
Lilith: It’s just better this way. Believe me. You’ll understand someday. And she will too.
Lucifer: Is this because you’re afraid I'll overshadow and control you? That I'll hurt you like Adam did? Because I won’t. Lilith, please. I love you so much. I can step down! You can be the sole ruler of hell is that's what you want. Please.
Lilith: Stop this, Lucifer. Don’t make this harder than it is.
Lucifer: I.....can’t stop you, can't I?
Lilith: No.
Lucifer: I guess you’re the one doing the hurting this time. Is that what you’ve wanted all along?
Lilith doesn’t respond. She leaves. 
-----------------------------------------------
Lucifer awakens to the scent of Marigolds and the sound of strangled crying. He's vaguely aware of the weight of his body being cradled by someone, their tears falling onto his still form.
With a lot of effort on his part, he commands his vision to clear and the ringing in his ears to subside. Gradually, his surroundings comes into focus, revealing Charlie to be the one holding him, her face contorted with anguish that should never be present on his little girl's face.
'Who did that? Who made my Charlie cry?'
Her words tumble out in a frantic stream, but Lucifer struggles to respond, his voice caught in his throat. It dawns on him that Charlie isn't aware of his consciousness, her attention absorbed by her own distress.
Squinting against the haze of confusion, he realizes she's speaking to someone else entirely.
Charlie: A-angel hurry, please! I don't know what just happened. You're the number I- and I'm sorry please help me!
Lucifer can't hear what Angel was saying on the other end but they're muffled. Each unintelligible word seems to only worsen his daughter's tears, and oh, how he longs to comfort her.
Helplessness washes over him as he wishes to move, to reach out and wipe away his most precious' tears.
'That's what a good dad should do, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's kinda funny how Charlie is the one craddling me right now. I miss her baby days.'
He must have chuckled because Charlie whips her head down to him.
Charlie: Dad! You're awake! Thank you. You're okay, dad, don't worry. I- Angel, he's awake! I don't know! I just found him, oh god, Angel- I thought he-he-
There's frantic voices on the other line, the residents are all probably huddled in the phone attempting to calm Charlie down. Lucifer didn't get to hear what the overlapping voices were saying when the sanctuary's doors fly open revealing the radio demon.
Suddenly, the sanctuary's doors burst open, revealing Alastor. With a keen eye, he spots Lucifer and Charlie, and wasting no time before teleporting to their side in a blink, concern evident as he checks on them both.
Charlie: A-Al, thank god you're here. I- I
Alastor: My dear, you must calm yourself. Breathe.
Charlie: I can't!
Alastor: Yes you can. Count from a hundred backwards.
Charlie: 100, 99, 98.....80... I ca-can't please-
Charlie freezes as a gentle hand touches her cheek, prompting her to lower her gaze. With deliberate tenderness, he reaches for her hand, guiding it to his chest, positioning it over his heart. A silent reassurance pulses beneath her touch, the steady, calming rhythm of her father's heart.
Lucifer: I'm okay, duckie. Feel it. I'm okay. I'm breathing. I'm alive.
Charlie: D-dad.
Alastor: Match his breathing, dear.
After a minute, Charlie managed to calm down enough to form coherent sentences. She reiterates what she walked in on earlier and Lucifer is horrified. His daughter shouldn't have seen that but he's also berating himself. He knew that he shouldn't have told Keekee that Charlie could come. Stupid. Stupid. STUPID-
A snap of a finger stops the start of another spiral.
Alastor: None of that. We will have a talk about this but first, let us go back to the hotel for now. It must be uncomfortable laying on a frozen floor, no?
The King of Hell wants to say something but he knows there's no arguing with a fretting Alastor. Charlie is already outside on the phone again, most likely talking to whoever was at the hotel or maybe the Sins. He's hoping she doesn't call them right away; they're bigger worrywarts than him.
Charlie: -no no. He's fine now We're going to take him back to the hotel. Yes. Yes. Of course. Maybe in a few hours? Yes, I'll call you after we check him over. Yes. Thank you, Aunt Bel.
He yelps in surprise as the radio demon picks him up and holds him bridal style.
Lucifer: What the hell you doing??
Alastor: Why, carrying you, my love!
Lucifer: I can walk just fine.
Alastor raised an eyebrow at this then promptly dropped him.
Lucifer: Ow! What the fuck?!
Alastor: That does not look like standing. Perhaps it's opposite day today?
Lucifer all but growls but knows he's got him there. With a groan, he relents, deciding that he's going to be complain all the way back if he can help it.
Lucifer: Fine.
Alastor: What was that~?
Lucifer: I said fine! Carry me you tacky piece of shit!
He's pouting but he doesn't care. He's the King of Hell for Father's sake! Why is he letting this man bully him??
Alastor only smiles as he picked him up again. At least someone is enjoying this humiliation.
The way Alastor is holding him is doing something to him and had Alastor always been this handsome??
They meet Charlie outside already with one of their limousines. Thankfully, no reporters are camping anymore around the palace or this will be another big scandal that will most likely damage his image. Not that he cares what people in Hell think of him but whatever they they perceive him as extends to Charlie and he's not going to give them any ammunition on her.
Charlie: You sure you're alright, Dad?
Lucifer: Yes, sweetheart. I just want to be in a bed right now.
Alastor: I could always teleport you there, my dear. Would be faster than this death contraption.
Lucifer: I will throw up on you.
Alastor's eye twitches but doesn't say anything back. They sit in semi-comfortable silence the rest of the ride.
-----------------------------------------------
Alastor: Charlie, why don't you talk to the others and your uncles and aunts about your father's condition? I'll take his majesty up in his room. I'm sure the last thing he needs is to be bombarded with questions at this time.
Charlie: You're right. Thanks, Al.
Charlie squeezed Lucifer's hand in a silent reassurance.
Charlie: I'll follow you later, Dad. Love you.
Oh, how he loves her so.
Lucifer: Okay, duckie.
He almost threw up when Alastor teleported them up to his tower but before he could, the sinner put up a lemon tea up on his face. Muttering a small thanks, the King of Hell took a few sips before deciding to lay down.
Alastor is still not interrogating him but maybe the other can smell his exhaustion. No. The guy did not talk at all. He only moved to sit by his side, leaning back to the headrest. Lucifer takes this as an invitation to hug the other's waist like a bolster and snuggles closer. The Sin of Pride feels his partner's hand combing through his hair and humming an old tune.
He's afraid of seeing Roo again as he tightens his hold on Alastor. The other doesn't even flinch and Lucifer is glad. Alastor usually doesn't like touch so whenever the other allows it, Lucifer savors every second.
Lucifer: I won't blame you, you know?
Alastor: Hmm?
Lucifer: If it's too much. If you wanna leave, you can.
The hand in his hair stops moving but Alastor still said nothing.
Lucifer: I'll remember you though.
Sleep is calling him. He only wishes that he'll dream of nothing this time.
Lucifer: I remember everyone that leaves.
He passes out not hearing Alastor reply, words laced with a genuinity no one else had the privilege to hear.
Alastor: I can assure you, my king, I am not one to give up what I adore that easily.
-----------------------------------------------
I adore that Lilo and Stitch line. It really struck me when I first watched it.
YT also played this Hour of Joy VHS tape and that background tune really gave me inspiration on some future scenes. So, stay tuned.

꒰⸝⸝₊⛓┊Jeff The Killer
The worst person to have around when you're having a manic episode because he feeds into your impulsive thoughts. Wanna do drugs? Heck yeah, he'll do them with you. Cut your own hair? Here, take the scissors. Steal something? He knows a good store. Though he does get a bit annoyed with your hyperness. It can get a bit much for him after a while and he'll tell you to chill out after a day or two. Doesn't understand that it isn't just a switch that you can flip on and off.
Takes him a while to notice that you're having a depressive episode and are cupped up in your room all day. He only actually notices it when he gets bothered and wonders where his hyper little S/O is, almost breaking down your door to ask what do you think you're doing. He notices you look a mess, like you haven't slept or eaten anything in a while, with that glazed, sad look in your eyes. It catches him off guard. Might be one of the only times he's a bit more gentle with you, sitting down alongside you on the bed while asking awkwardly "Uhm... You okay there, shortstack?".

꒰⸝⸝₊⛓┊Ticci Toby
Like Jeff, at first, he actually enjoys your manic episodes. You bring that little bit of spontaneity that was missing in his life and he really enjoys tagging along with your crazy ideas. That being said, when he notices you're being self destructive and overworking yourself, not sleeping for days on end because your mind is running at a thousand miles per hour? He's worried. Will try to get you to sit down with him, collecting your thoughts and speaking in a slower way so he can understand.
Your depressive episodes worry him the most. The way you look so down all the time, the dark bags under your eyes, it hurts him to see you hurting so much. Will try to get you to leave your room and take a walk with him around the woods, even if for just 5 minutes, he swears you're gonna feel better after it. Might steal some sleep medicine from the nearest drug store and try to convince you to take it. You need rest, even if you're not doing much physically because of your current mental state. Psychological battles are just as tiring to deal with, and he knows that first hand.

Tumblr media
── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──
you couldn't stand the way he made you feel, everytime you looked at him you could sense your heartbeats increasing and your cheeks blushing. but what really bothered you, was the feeling inside your panties. your underclothes dampen anytime he spoke and your hand uncontrollably going down your body trying to relieve the tension. but you knew it wasn't right. he was your teacher. you were already 18 by the time but it felt wrong still.
he was the new herbology professor. neville longbottom. you knew the stories about him, you knew he was the one that killed nagini at the battle of hogwarts, but his fame wasn't really the thing you found more astonishing from him. he was extremely gentle and sweet, didn't even brag about his adventures with the famous harry potter.
all of your friends knew you had a crush on him, but who wouldn't? he was brave, smart, tall, handsome and young. most of the hogwarts teachers were old people. obviously, not your friends nor you thought you could ever get with him, because, again, he was your teacher.
"here i have the results from the last quiz" he said showing a pack of written papers. "most of you did well, but some few... not so much..." you knew one of them was going to be you, because it was impossible for you to concentrate in his class while trying not to fuck your chair over the excitement that man made you feel. the tall professor started giving out the paper for each students while you tried not to look at him. "y/n" you rose your head at the call, only to see him standing right in front of you. usually he said "miss y/sn" but today, you could sense he was disappointed. "come see me at the end of today classes, alright?" he left putting your paper on your table.
you nodded and turned to see the quiz. not a single question was right. he even drew a sad face besides the circular zero at the top right corner of the paper. "shit..." you whispered to yourself, just to sense a soft hit on the arm from your friend sitting next to you. you turned your head to her. "girl, don't look at the mark, he said he wants to see you after school" she whispered excited.
"yeah, to tell me how bad i did and give me some ugly tutor" you answered.
but being fully honest, you were thinking the same thing as her. you wished that later visit could go with your whole body under him and his punishment being your overstimulation.
after a few hours more, the time came and you started walking towards the greenhouse. you stopped at the door and took a deep breath before opening it. "good afternoon, professor..." he was checking some plants when you entered, and your greeting made him turn to the door.
"y/n, sit here" you nervously did as he told you. "i've noticed your marks have been decreasing since i've took over with herbology from your last professor... i wanted to know if you do not understand or have any difficulties with my way of teaching, i mean, if i'm doing something wrong and want to tell me how to improve it and of course, help you, i'll be happy to listen... at the end of the day, i'm new at teaching" he laughed a bit while looking at you softly.
how perfect could he be? thinking the problem was in him?
you swallowed nervously, "it's nothing like that... your way of teaching is perfect, really... professor."
with that answer he only seemed to be even more confused than before. "okay... i'm glad to hear it... but then, what is it? is there something wrong? you don't have to tell if you don't want to, though, i will understand. i just want you to know i'm here and i'll try helping you in any way i can" he smiled gently.
"no, no... don't worry... i'm fine. i just can't seem to concentrate, that's all..." you swallowed once more, placing your hands between your legs trying to cover the fact that your leaking panties were starting to wet your skirt and at the same time, to start some slow friction at your hopeless clit, which was pumping faster than your heart.
"might only be at my class because i asked the other professors and from what i know, you are doing just f-..." at that exact moment you knew. he noticed. your hips slowly moving the chair and your hands shaking in between your thighs. "oh... i see... that is what's going on, then" you wanted to stop, but your body kept going, he was looking down at your skirt and his voice going lower and quieter. it was making you go absolutely crazy. "you won't tell this to hannah, won't you?" your eyes opened in shock as he sat you on the table and brought you close to him. he looked at you waiting for an answer.
you denied rapidly with your head, you didn't even know who hannah was. he smiled and slowly placed a finger on your clothed clit. "as i said, i want to help you in any way i can... so, i hope your marks get better after this, y/n." he started caressing your clit with two fingers. your eyes already white and your hips hitting his fingers begging for more. he smiled and moved his fingers to the inside of your panties. "you are so wet" he took his fingers from inside your underwear and licked them. "is this your first time?" you nodded nervously. his fingers crawled back inside your clothes, just for now to get a bit further, caressing the lips of your pussy and slowly sticking one of them inside of you. you gasped in response. "does it feel good?" gently he caressed your insides with his finger.
"one more..." you said, keeping your eyes shut. you were happy but at the same time, extremely embarrassed, this was the first time someone fingered you other than you on your own, and it was a professor.
"one more?" he laughed and inserted another finger into you, increasing the pace and adding friction to your clit with his thumb.
it didn't took you long to get to orgasm, filling his fingers with fluids and covering your mouth with your hand.
"good." he said just before licking his fingers once more. "i hope your grades start getting better now or we might have to do this again"

Could you write hcs for Nikolai and price with a shy s/o pls & ty
Yeah, of course! Though, I think reader is a bit more anxious than shy in this one, but what is shyness if not anxiety regarding social situations that isn't debilitating? Thanks for requesting!
Price and Nikolai with a Shy!Reader
Price: While I do believe that he thinks shy people aren’t his type, valuing someone who can stand up for themselves, speak their mind and aren’t afraid to be a bit more honest than they maybe should be, the heart chooses who it chooses. He values open and honest communication with his partner more than anything else, but when it seems like you can’t talk to him, no matter how much time he gives you, he rethinks his strategies. Since being stern with you only seems to make you more nervous, more apprehensive, he’d opt for being more gentle, always asking your honest opinion. He might ask further questions, though, if he thinks that the answer he received from you is a bit too short or barely, if at all, reflects what you’re likely thinking and you simply don’t want to hurt his feelings. Sure, he may be a natural leader, so having someone agree with you for once feels good, but having someone give you a piece of their mind, giving you a different point of view so you can see the faults and flaws in your plans, is essential for good workmanship. Price values you and your input, if he has to coax you into giving him a longer, more subjective answer, then he will. A relationship can only really work if both parties are trying to keep it upright in a healthy manner.
While he’ll try to get you to open up in any gentle way he can think of, if the two of you are on an outing, then he’ll speak to the other party for you if you really can’t reply. Price is a good speaker, he knows which words are appropriate in which situation. With his confidence as well, he can cover most conversations for you. However, I can see him trying to make you a part of it anyway, regardless of whether you’re talking to your friend or his working colleague. Being included in a conversation can feel nice, after all. Besides, it might help you in getting out of your shell a bit. Despite absolutely hating making decisions for you, if you really can’t decide on something small, such as which burger to get or whether or not you should buy that lovely sweater, he’ll take the burden off of you if there are people around. But on bigger things that have a greater impact on your life he’ll simply consult you, give you all the potential outcomes he can think of and which effect they may have. It’s not his place to take your life into his hands like that.
Shyness can stem from insecurities, and he can tell when you’re not happy with yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re beating yourself up over having said something stupid in a conversation earlier that day or if you think you’re not worth listening to or having around, he’ll reassure you that it’s quite alright. Hell, if you’re willing to listen to him, he’s more than happy to tell you an anecdote or two about how he has slipped up when talking to his superiors. It happens to anyone, and by tomorrow that person probably won’t even remember what you said anyway. Unless he had trouble following you or didn’t understand what you meant clearly, Price won’t call you out on not having made complete sense either since he knows you might not take kindly to it, but he’d never make fun of you for misspelling any word, mixing things up or, well, not making sense. Sure, severe misinformation he will correct you on if it can greatly impact something, but not if you have a hard time speaking with correct grammar or pronouncing words perfectly.
Nikolai: Nikolai has met so many people in his life, he can get along just fine with just about anyone, especially because of his relaxed mannerisms. You being shy really isn’t a turn off at all, it can make for amusing scenarios at times. If you get flustered easily he’ll have a field day with that. You start stuttering? You blush? Say some nonsense while your mind is going haywire? That’s so adorable. While he’ll try to not overdo it and keep you comfortable, he does want to have his fun from time to time. If you don’t want to voice your opinion, that’s fine, but he will always ask you for your input. Even if you’re not a fan of saying anything with other people around, if it’s just the two of you, and you’re more willing to talk that way, then he’ll whisk you away. You don’t wanna say what you think in fear of him judging you? He will tell you that it’s alright, regardless of what it is, because truth be told, he’s probably heard far worse things than your opinion on the borschtsch he made. He’s observant enough to know when you’re lying to him in order to not make him mad, but won’t continuously poke and prod at you to have you spill the beans eventually. He’ll ask again once, but if you still won’t budge, then he won’t force anything out of you.
Because of him leading a private military company, he also knows a thing or two about how to engage in a conversation and keep it going for a while. If you want to say something, then you’re more than welcome to do so, but he knows that a shut mouth catches no flies. Yes, he might ask you a thing or two that he might not immediately remember off the top of his head, but if you don’t wanna come out of your shell then he won’t force you to. If you do wanna be more open, however, then it’s different. In that case, he’ll try to include you in the conversations that aren’t too taxing and give you some practice on being more open and social. Like Price, however, he won’t make every decision for you. He doesn’t have the time for that, plus you have enough autonomy like that. However, he is more than happy to call the pizza place you usually order from or tell the waiter at the restaurant what you’d like, that’s not a problem in his eyes. If you find yourself growing increasingly uncomfortable in a situation, Nikolai will get you out of there. He’s just as good at making any conversation end on a pretty good note.
If your shyness stems from insecurities then he, too, will reassure you that you didn’t mess up that badly. No one ever listened to what you had to say? Unless you’re both starting to talk at the same time, he won’t ever interrupt you, giving you his full attention instead. What you say doesn’t make any sense? Mixed up some information? Nikolai might chuckle a bit if you say something along the lines of monkeys liking bananas because they’re both yellow, he’ll gently correct you too, but he won’t be mean about it. Not everyone can remember everything all the time, he forgets things too. Besides, it’s not like he cares all that much. Sure, you said some nonsense, but he can also assure you that he’s heard far worse things. Can and will tell you some anecdotes about what he’s been told as well, there are quite a lot. If you don’t take too kindly to him smiling about something nonsensical, he’ll apologize. Trust me, if you’re upset, he’ll know immediately.
