Tumblr media
The sofa was huge, but it seemed minuscule in comparison to the two of you. He pulled you close to his side, his arm reaching around to embrace you. His warm breath tickled your neck as you settled into his embrace.
He had no interest in the romcom playing on the screen. All he desired was to hold you tightly. Simon let out a sigh, rolling his eyes at the actors engaging in their cheesy conversation.
As you shifted your head, he loosened his grip, afraid of accidentally suffocating you. Sometimes, he forgets that he is at home and not on the battlefield.
With sleepy eyes, you softly spoke, your fingers gently brushing over his stubble.
"Simon?"
He shivered slightly, a shadow of a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He nodded in response.
"Yes love?"
You playfully poked his cheek, speaking slowly.
"You're so pretty... More than the actor in the movie."
He remained still for a moment, looking at you in disbelief.
His scars? His bruises? His troubled past? His bloodied hands?
Were these things pretty to you?
He sighed, shaking his head as he gently brushed your hair.
"No, sweetheart, I am no movie star."
You insisted, planting a kiss on his cheek before drifting back into a deep slumber.
"You are my star."
He gazed at your peaceful sleeping form, grateful that you wouldn't notice the solitary tear that escaped him. It had been so long since anyone had called him pretty, or even acknowledged him. Except you.
He looked at you and knew exactly why he hadn't hesitated when he said, "I do."

The faith challenge <3
This is a small manifesting/void challenge I made for myself that helped me to manifest my dream life.
Aimed for people that overconsume or overcomplicate getting their desires.
Note: you know enough! you have overconsumed enough information. stop now, its time to finally get what you want!
If you overcomplicate things, you probably listen to subs for hours, affirm 10,000x every hour, etc. You view them as things you must do to get your desires. But remember, you are not doing this to get results in 3d, you are doing this to fulfil yourself inwardly. Its like you have your hair down and your looking in the mirror. You cannot change the hairstyle in the mirror, right? leave the mirror and change your hairstyle. (fulfill your desire inwards), and the mirror(3d) must reflect that.
The actual challenge:
Read/listen to edward art's though false lecture. ONCE. ONLY. ONCE!! aim to truly understand what he is saying. this lecture is all you need. After that, delete your tumblr. unsubscribe to manifestation ppl on youtube. no more information for u.
No affirmations, no subliminals, no scripting, no visualizing. (unless you're doing it just because it helps make you feel fulfilled. you dont have to do them!!! preferably stop all methods.)
you will write your own rules on a slip of paper. ex. 'my manifestions must come within 3 days because i said so and i make the rules', 'everything must always work in my favour'. keep it simple. it doesn't matter what anyone else said, make the rules however u want!
you will stick to those rules. you will just know that everything in your reality has to abide by your rules. do nothing else.
Wavering is fine. if you waver, no jumping back to tumblr to overconsume information. simply ask your inner self for confirmation. your inner self will always say 'yes u have ur desires!'
idc about your 3d. you are under no obligation to accept those circumstances as true, your imagination is the only true reality anyway. don't complain abt how bad ur circumstances are, because one well known blogger here grew up in in extremely abusive situation, was tossed from foster care to foster care, was searching for shelter at night because the abuse was too much. she wavered just like u. And yet, she did it! she changed her entire life. drastically. and you can too.
TLDR:
listen to edward art's though false lecture ONCE.
delete tumblr and all manifestation related stuff. do not do methods.
write your own rules
stick to them
fulfill urself inwardly only.
!!!success story + amazing challenge! oh, anon! You are amazing! 💐💌🌷
This ask is beautiful, this is so well done and the whole post is so well written, organized, and helpful! Omg, you are a real angel! I am so happy that you did it, and even more happy to receive an ask from someone kind like you, I appreciate you so much, I know this will help a lot of people. Congrats for your own journey and success! Please know that you are an amazing soul, and I wish you all the best and so much love, you deserve to live all the happiness! ...🌷💗
The Faith Challenge! <3
꒱This challenge is perfect for you that are overconsuming or overcomplicating the law and want to leave this cycle, manifesting your dream life! Everyone, let's appreciate this anon work! 𓆩♡𓆪
💐💐 those flowers are for you, my dear Faith anon!

HC: Ellie calling you “Mamas”
‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ - - ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ - - ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿
warnings: The Author’s br33ding 🔑nk
writer’s note: THIS IS KIND OF RUSHED SINCE IT JUST POPPED UP IN TO MY HEAD OUT OF NOWEHRE and when an idea pops up in to my head I really need to write it down so… looking for someone to call “Mamas”. Wait what who wrote that? But the nickname is kinda rubbing off on me..
‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ - - ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ - - ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿
𓆩♡𓆪 Ellie had never actually called anyone “Mamas” before, the nickname completely ruined for her all because of the “Hey Mamas” tiktok that she was in for a year.
𓆩♡𓆪 ‘I’m not like that… Am I?’ Ellie constantly thought as the nickname was actually rubbing off on her. And seeing you acting so domestic DOES NOT help her case. ‘She does look like a Mamas… Nonono what the fuck is wrong with you Ellie?’
𓆩♡𓆪 Ellie finally accepting her faith. Especially that one time where she first called you “Mamas”. You were working and haven’t been giving her enough attention. All you could hear was the clicking of the keys on your laptop and Ellie’s whines ringing on your ears.
𓆩♡𓆪 “C’mon, Mamas” Ellie blurted out. The clicking of your keyboard stopped. “Did you just-“ “No?”
𓆩♡𓆪 “I mean, I kind of like it?” You laughed as you saw Ellie’s face lit up. “I MEAN LIKE… ITS NOT THAT “CRINGEY” IF YOU USE IT PROPERLY RIGHT?” Ellie said raising her voice as she felt the need to explain herself.
𓆩♡𓆪 “You’re right. It’s actually hot coming from you.” You smirked. “Yeah? You think so?” Ellie asked, her confidence building up. “I think you could pull of a “Hey Mamas’ well.” “OH COME ON Y/N”
𓆩♡𓆪 Ellie has been calling you “Mamas” since then. And it’s suprisingly.. sexy in a way? Or maybe that was just you…
𓆩♡𓆪 You being absolutely flustered ‘cause Ellie’s actually pulling the nickname off and it’s really hard for you to admit that sometimes it turns you on.
𓆩♡𓆪 “Mm.. C’mere Mama.” Ellie said pulling you in to a passionate kiss, biting your bottom lip in the process as she pulled away.
𓆩♡𓆪 “Don’t be like that Mama…” Ellie uttered as she kissed your neck, the attempt of her reconciling with you working. “You’re using a very unfair advantage right now.” You huffed as you could hear her muffled laughs against your neck.
𓆩♡𓆪 “You look good, Mamas.” Ellie praised as you gave a twirl for her. You pausing at the process. “What’s wrong?” Ellie asked raising her eyebrows. “I HATE WHOEVER INTRODUCED YOU TO THAT NICKNAME.”
𓆩♡𓆪 “Won’t you try calling me that in bed?” You asked giving your eyebrows a little wiggle. “I mean, yeah sure?” Ellie said, never thinking that it was a problem to begin with.
𓆩♡𓆪 “Fuck Mama, just like that.” You squirted. (HAHAHAHA IM CAKXLING)
𓆩♡𓆪 “Take this deeper and you’ll really become a Mama”

Here it is!!!! This is drafted before I went on hiatus! So I never got around to writing it!! But now I can so, SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!! HOPE YOU CAN STILL ENJOY! <3
Jealousy Jealousy 𓆩♡𓆪 (Julian Casablancas x Reader)
Tumblr media
𓆩♡𓆪= Smut
ੈ✩‧₊˚= Fluff
⋆ ★= Angst
𓆩⟡𓆪 = Headcanons
TW: Degradation, pet names, dominance, rough, etc (Reader Discretion is advised)
You were always jealous of Julian's fans. They were all women who wanted to either fuck or date Julian. It made you pissed knowing that. You loved the way Julian teased, looked, and touched you. You basically loved everything about him. But little did those fans know, Julian is easily controlled by you. You didn't know why. You always thought Julian could pick millions of beautiful girls, but somehow he always chooses you. He always says it's because of your beautiful silky hair, precious eyes, and plump lips.
But deep inside you knew it was because you played hard to get. You easily controlled Julian. The way he speaks when you dominate him turns you on. He thinks it's so hot and sexy when you dominate. So during one night after one of Julian's shows, a girl in the crowd was flirting with Julian. Julian managed to wink at her from the stage. This caused you to become jealous. So when the two of you came home to the small apartment you two lived in. You decided to seek revenge on Julian.
Right away when the two of you stepped through the door. You immediately pinned Julian to the wall. Julian's eyes widen as you stare at him. "Jules, I would reward you for a good show tonight." You said lustfully. "But, my little Jules happened to not be faithful to me," you said in an annoyed tone. Julian gulps and looks down. Jules knew he did and he wasn't ready for what was to come. "Aww don't look down, baby boy." You said grabbing his chin. Julian gasped loudly and began huffing loudly. "Oh is my Jules already needy?" You said in a stern tone. Julian looks at you. You roughly placed your hands on Julian's member. Causing him to moan loudly.
"I'm just getting started and you're already begging." You said giggling. You grabbed Julian by the arm and dragged him to the bedroom. You quickly pushed Julian onto the bed and topped him. "Jules baby. take off your clothes for me." You said grabbing Julian by the hips. "Y/N, I didn't mean to-" Julian said before you cut him off with a rough kiss. "Shhh, no need to talk baby. Just strip." You said firmly
Julian nods and begins sliding off his pants. You grabbed Julian by the shirt and whispered in his ear. "You know Jules since you like to wink at other girls. I'll show you the real girl you'll be winking at." Julian looks up and begins blushing. You started to pump up and down on his member causing him to moan loudly. You pump faster and faster. "U-uh Y/N, I-i'm about to come." Julian moaned out. "Not so fast Jules, we're just getting started." You said lowly. "Y-Y/N p-please can I come?" Julian whimpers. "No honey, don't come until I do." You said as you slowly sat on Julian's member. Julian whimpers louder as you bounce up and down. You bounced harder and moaned out his name.
Julian tried his best to not come so fast and began to whimper louder. "You like it when I dominate you? Yeah of course you do, it's because you're my little slut." You said bouncing harder. Julian gulped and tried to mutter out words but his words were eaten by you bouncing on him hard. "Y-yes I love it when you dominate me, f-fuck me good." Julian moaned out as he gripped the sheets hard. You smiled ear to ear and leaned down to kiss him.
You swished your tongue around his making it known you were his. You pulled away from Julian leaving a string of his spit. You licked your lips and leaned down to Julian's ear. "I think I'm ready to come, you can too baby." You whispered. Julian nodded and began thrusting on his own. You gripped his hair hard due to his thrusting. After a few thrusts, Julian came. Julian quickly pulled out and you came as well. You collapsed onto Julian's chest and began to pant heavily. Julian stroked your back and played with your hair. "Jules you did great for me, you were fucking sexy." You said stroking his hair. Julian smiled widely and kissed your head. "You are so fucking hot when you're dominating, It makes me shake," Julian said smiling. You chuckled and kissed him on the cheek.

Chapter 4 — A Friend of a Friend.
For the past two days, Kafka's mind stirs endlessly—not that it is unusual by any stretch of the imagination. But that presence at the graveyard that she felt drape upon her grieving mind weighs heavy on her shoulders still. To her, it was no ghost that haunted her there that day. It had to be someone daunting, imposing, and with a position higher than heaven itself (she's convinced, even if it's the paranoia talking.) She's been so plagued by this sensation that she simply couldn't sleep.
…Or perhaps that's an excuse for her to avoid sleep some more?
She mindlessly disregards the potentiality of that concept. She'll learn sooner or later whether staying awake for two days straight was a wise decision or not.
On the third morning of staying wide awake, she barely rises from her bed with a huff and a push—she had been writing in her journal. All her paranoid thoughts and mild delusions fill the pages. She sighs, turning to the side to stare down at her leather-bound diary. Her eyes are heavy as unrefined stone, hardly even open anymore.
But she can't rest. Not now.
…Not when she has groceries to buy.
With the sudden reminder of that chore needing to be attended to, she groans and her head dips low as she feels her energy sink further.
(I should've done groceries yesterday…when I had more energy.) She grumbles nonsense to herself when this thought passes through her mind. (…And it's raining. Again.) She glances out through the windows attached to her balcony, seeing the light raindrops dance upon the polished city.
While she doesn't dread the rain by itself, it's certainly not pleasant to get groceries during such weather either. She sighs at the thought of getting soaked to the bone when running home later. There's that chance of the rain stopping by the time she arrives at the store, but she's not that faithful in the weather.
Without wasting more time, she gets into a modest dress with a sheer shawl adorning her shoulders. She then sits down at her vanity set, staring into the mirror only to see a disheveled man with a twisted grin and blood smeared across his right cheek. She yelps and jumps so far in her chair that she sends herself tumbling back onto the ground.
…She briefly forgot about her less-than-spectacular curse with mirrors.
Without looking even once into her vanity mirror again, she gets ready for the day. Although, her makeup is a bit messy thanks to the lack of, well, a mirror. Once she's proper to go outside, she drags her feet down the stairs of her studio loft with a basket in hand.
Today is going to be rough.
———
Kafka—sleepily dragging herself through the wet streets of the Court—ends up found leaning against a building…asleep. How can one fall asleep standing up? Who knows… Neuvillette certainly doesn't know when he finds himself as the one finding the poor, sleep-deprived woman. He's terrified to wake her, one hand partially outstretched to tap her shoulder.
His icy eyes dart around from one end of the street to the other. There's no one else here. Not even shopkeepers. He sighs a little, figuring it'd be best to wake her and escort her home—so he taps her on the shoulder.
"Mademoiselle Kafka?" Neuvillette whispers, his head tilted as he leans in a little to watch her face closely—to see if she wakes up any time soon. He feels his gut turn when he uses "mademoiselle" for her like it's some sort of insult to her lost relationship.
It doesn't appear she will—
A gasp.
And a wicked yet broken smile tears through her expression. But, it only lasts for a split moment before it's gone with the wind. Neuvillette noticed it, though—how couldn't he? He's not quick enough to ask her what's wrong, either.
"O-Oh… I'm so sorry…" Kafka mutters, still on the verge of falling asleep—that much is obvious with how her eyes flutter. "I-I'll get out of your way, Iudex." Her eyes screwing shut and her hand bracing itself against her forehead as she tries to trudge out of his way.
"Hardly necessary, Mademoiselle Kafka…" He stops her in her tracks the moment she moves past his side. Worry strikes his pale features more than before despite his usual stoic demeanor.
"I'm sorry you had to find me like this, haha." She laughs weakly, her hands raising in defense and shaking side to side a little bit. "It's improper to fall asleep in the streets like some drunkard—"
"Please." Neuvillette intercepts. His expression shifts to something more stern—eyebrows knitted downward with a thin frown. "No need to put yourself down. I hope you believe me."
"I-I…" Kafka sputters haplessly, her fatigued, half-working mind unable to conjure the right excuse. Her hands slap against her face with a wet sound, letting herself let out dry, but quiet sobs. "I'm so sorry… I haven't slept in days…" She chokes.
His eyes dart away, noticing her abandoned basket on the pavement next to where she had fallen asleep earlier. He picks it up and approaches her once more.
"…Is it because of Lubin?" He whispers, effectively tearing her out of her own mind to answer his simple question. He wasn't sure how else to ask, so he decided to be as blunt as he could manage while still maintaining gentleness.
"…I…" She blinks rapidly, arms flopping to her sides. She stares at the ground with soft pink eyes full of distant, forlorn longing. All she wants is Lubin.
"Here." He hands her the basket, her trusty basket that's decorated in ribbons and fake flowers. When she takes it, he smiles a little that she isn't posing much of a brat right now. "No need to answer my question, I…believe I know the answer. Now, let me escort you home, Mademoiselle." He offers his arm to her.
"Thank you… You're far too kind to me…" She murmurs pitifully, her arm looping around his own before she stumbles home alongside him.
"Ah. I think it's an apt amount of kindness I'm giving you. I also like to think most would help out given it wasn't raining." He reasons, his voice soft as a feather again. He believes he's upset her enough for one day.
"…You'd be surprised at the cruelty of humanity, Iudex." She retorts, shaking her head. "But… I concur. I like to think so as well." She smiles, but it's so very thin and fragile as cracked glass.
"Ah, trust, I am aware of some people's…cruelty." He sighs, "It comes with the job."
"Hehe, I suppose it does."
"I will say that you should have stayed home today." He lectures softly, "If I were not here…"
"I-I know." She mumbles, "I'm not sure what's wrong with me anymore… Haha…" She shakes her head.
He nearly sighs at her self-deprecation. In his eyes, she's done nothing wrong to warrant such words. But, while he may be the Iudex, it's still not his job to judge how others treat themselves no matter how much he would like that otherwise. In a perfect world…
Arriving at the doorstep of her studio and loft, he takes her inside. He turns the dim lights on before sitting her at one of the tables, his large hands leading her around by her shoulders.
"Here you go. Allow me to get you some water." He strides away to the bar. At first, he's confused and nervous about touching anything, but when he notices she's starting to doze off again, he pushes away his current plight.
It's the last bottle of water that he grabs. And it's rather warm, too… He brushes the thought of lukewarm, flavorless water off for now. Returning to the table, he opens the bottle and sets it next to her. She giggles—causing one of his white brows to raise.
"What's so funny?" He inquires.
"You're just…so darling." She laughs more. He begins to think she's delirious.
"Ah… Well…" He clears his throat, knowing it's not the time to reject her compliment, "Thank you, Mademoiselle Kafka. I am touched by your words." He smiles. (Even if I don't quite understand what you mean by "darling…") He thinks briefly to himself.
"Uhm…" She begins, staring up at him with laden eyes and parted lips, "Can you stay a while? It's okay if not… I know you're more than busy."
"Hm? Me?" He blinks. It's a rare occurrence that a stranger wants him to sit down with them for a while.
"Yes—" She stops and blushes, "Sorry. You just…feel familiar to me." She nods, glancing up at him with a broken smile. (Familiar as Lubin…almost. Is it because they were like coworkers?) She sighs inward.
"No need to apologize." He shakes his head as he takes a seat across from her. "We hardly know each other and yet…" He attempts to register her sentiments, but it isn't quite coming to him. At least, not right now.
"I know, I know… It's a bit weird. It's that…" She trails off, taking a sip of the water he got her. "It's that you worked close with Lubin, I'd imagine… So, it's like… a friend of a friend, I suppose?"
"Ah, I see now." He doesn't. "Lubin was a good man and a spectacular lawyer." He nods.
"Hehe… He thought you were pretty weird."
"W-Weird?"
"Oh, don't worry. He prefers weird people. It's why he wanted to marry me of all people…"
"You are not weird—"
"I couldn't remember even so much as my name when he found me on the beach outside of the Court."
"…Point taken." He sighs lightly, "Although… I'd argue that is more concerning than weird."
"Heh, I suppose so. He named me Kafka that day, too…" Her elbow props itself on the table, her chin resting in her calloused hand.
"He's the one who named you? That…is not unlike him."
"I agree. It's very in character!" She giggles. "I…have a small question." She mumbles, brushing some hair behind her ear with her spare hand.
"I will answer to the best of my ability—"
"Did Lubin ever talk about me?"
Silence.
"Ahem. He did, yes." He had to get over his initial surprise at the question. "I do not recall him mentioning you by name, but he often praised you otherwise. Some days you were the only person he would talk about. He was always very animated those days." His pale eyes soften, "Sometimes it seemed like he didn't have a care in the world, but it was always evident how much he cared about you."
"Ah…" She blushes, a soft pink dusting her cheeks. "Thank you for telling me. I'm…a little flustered."
All he can do is smile.
They end up talking well into the evening, the topic hardly shifting from Lubin and their experiences with the lively young man. When Neuvillette finally realizes what time it is, he feels his heart jump into his throat. Much to his dismay, he ends up parting from the lovely conversation with Kafka.
…And when he leaves, he finally understands what she means by, "a friend of a friend."

Alejandro Vargas x reader
masterpost • Ao3
Summary: And only when you feel like there is nothing left, you'll find me waiting for you, I'll make it feel like home.
Or
Where Alejandro comes home, because home is you.
Warnings: SFW, bath scene, sweet fluff <3
Note: I die for the unsexual ways of showing intimacy. I tried a new style, not really sure of it, but i just love this trope; where A washes B's hair and takes care of them in a non sexual way, and they are both comfortable and happy :( <3
Tumblr media
“Be still my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me”
The journey from the base to home was long, uncomfortable, and, above all, tiring. Alejandro shifted, letting out a deep sigh as he rubbed his eyes, careful not to touch the still numb cut on his forehead.
The medics had urged him to get his wounds stitched up, or at the very least, checked. But he dismissed it as pointless, with only one thing on his mind: coming home to you.
As soon as the debriefing ended, he hopped into the nearest car, beckoning Rudy and some other vaqueros to join him. A younger member, barely awake, asked, "Where are we going, colonel?" Alejandro gazed at the purple sky with a knowing smile and replied, "Home."
Home.
Alejandro was the colonel, but that didn't mean he didn't care. If anything, he was the exact opposite. He checked on every member, praising some and ordering others to go straight to their family houses to rest. Los Vaqueros were his family, he celebrated their joy and grieved their sorrow as his own.
Even in his most exhausted moments, Alejandro never forgot about his long-time friend and second in command, Rudy. He made sure Rudy reached his family, sain et sauf after every mission, as he had done for the past twenty years.
Alejandro sighed, stopping at the side of the road to check his phone after the last vaquero had left. The background was a selfie of you and him, licking ice cream under the moonlit sky.
You never understood why he liked this picture so deerly, he's been gazing at it for the last two years, whenever he was away from you. As if your sweet smile comforted him and buried his dark thoughts somewhere only you knew.
If anything, it was a sweet picture, tongues out, wide grins, your hair sticking to your foreheads, a proof of the swimming session you two had beforehand.
He remembered it perfectly—the day you got married. Instead of going home, he insisted on going to the beach to have your own celebration. It was surprisingly warm and deserted. Time didn't matter to you—three in the morning. You danced, swirled, and swam in the dark water with your dress on.
To hell with makeup and his suit.
All you wanted was a laugh and a kiss under the moonlit sky. And you never found it lacking, not once, after meeting him.
You were both madly in love. Two fools swimming in an ocean of sanity and adoration. You completed each other. You longed for each other.
Alejandro reached home after the long journey. His muddy boots left traces on the doorstep as he fumbled for his keys, trying to be discreet. It was almost midnight, and he didn't want to wake you—or any of the neighbors.
Before the key even grazed the hole, the door slowly unlocked.
You gazed at Alejandro with a calm smile on your face and uttered, "Welcome home, colonel."
You were silent, still. Gazing at the astonished man. You promised, never quitting this habit of waiting for him.
He complained, nonsense about how you should rest and let him surprise you and bla-bla-bla.
You didn't give in his pleas, not even once.
You were always waiting at the doorstep, every ounce in your body craved a glimpse of your beloved husband.
Alejandro grinned, stepping inside and letting his bag fall to his side. His arms found their way to your sides, sweeping you off your feet and crashing you into his chest as he murmured, feeling a sense of peace wash over him, “Mi mondo… mi todo...”
The embrace was a burning fire, melting both of you into one. Alejandro closed the door with a kick of his heel, slowly stepping into the warm flat.
You cupped his cheek, running your thumb over the cut on his temple. He winced slightly, his eyes shutting before he uttered, "It's nothing...mi amor."
You shook your head, knowing his stubbornness was just a cover to hide his pain. Not because he was afraid of being vulnerable to you, he simply didn't want you to worry. He wished for you to live your ultimest youth, without a single cloud of onus to disturb your shining sun and skies.
You were a Phoenix to him, healing every scar and cut with your gentle touch and soft whispers.
"Come with me."
You guided him upstairs to the bathroom.
The room was hot, steamy with fog clouds floating around you. The black marbelic walls were covered with small beads of water vapor, slowly racing down to the ground.
Alejandro leaned against the door, resting his against the hard material with a long and tired sigh.
You checked the water temperature, motioning for him to climb in the tub. He steeped closer, gazing at the surface of the colorless liquid. His face emerged, and he couldn't help but chuckle. He cupped your cheeks, smiling wearily. "Mi amor, you didn't have to..."
"I wanted to..."
You ran him a warm bath, filled with devotion to the brim.
Just the way he liked it, with oils and conditioner that he enjoyed smelling on you. Alejandro adored every detail about you. Somehow, you had captured his mind and soul within your hands. Your little gestures only served to deepen his affection.
You helped him take off his dirty, blood-soaked clothes—thankfully not his own. The military uniform fell to the floor, followed by his torn shirt. He sighed deeply, shivering slightly as your hands trailed over his scarred skin, the cold sensation leaving goosebumps in its wake.
He remembered when he brought you to the beach, embarrassed about his battle scars, thinking you'd be disgusted by the cuts on his skin. But instead, you cradled his flesh with merciful tenderness, Washing away his worries through kisses scattered on his back. He held back his tears, letting you heal his skin and carve a lasting memory in his mind.
Back to reality, Alejandro smiled at you, his eyebrows furrowing in question at your grinning face. He was wearing cat-printed shorts, and you couldn't help but laugh as he blushed slightly.
There was no tension, no other thoughts, not at this moment at the very least. This precious moment was too good, too perfect to be tainted and corrupted by any sin, even if it wasn't a wrongdoing anyway. He saw it no other way, and neither did you. You helped him wash away the weariness of duty, making him feel at home. Could he ask for more?
Alejandro slowly submerged himself under the water, his head lazily resting on the edge of the tub. He gazed at you, silently observing your every movement. He missed this, missed you deeply. No words could express how desperately he longed for your presence.
You held the shampoo bottle, scooping some product into your hands before lathering it into his now wet hair. He shivered, letting out a contented sigh. You massaged his shoulders, washing away the aches of war and leaving nothing but love that cascaded down his shoulders like honey.
Silence filled the house, the only sounds audible were the hushed breaths he took and the occasional dripping of water from the sink. Finally, wrapped in a large towel and smelling of fresh grass and vanilla, Alejandro sat on the edge of the tub as you searched for band-aids in the small box. He chuckled wearily as you placed a green plaster on his temple.
Standing between his legs, you cupped his face, examining his very being before whispering silently, "I love you, thank you for coming back."
Taken aback, he kissed you, your lips intertwining in a gentle embrace of madness before he uttered, "Thank you for waiting, mi todo."
It was around 2 am, as you lay in bed. The scent of warm chumpurados filled the room, igniting in his soul and heart a longing for home. But, would he complain? He was indeed at home, for his heart and mind resided with you.
Alejandro placed his mug on the nightstand before resting his head on your thigh. You ran your fingers through his dark locks, gently caressing his hair.
Alejandro leaned in, murmuring nonsensical words against your limb. His gratitude was beyond imagination. Without you, he would be lost, despondent. He found his missing piece with you, you little thief, stealing his heart and claiming it as your own. He didn't mind in the slightest, willing to sacrifice his very essence for your sake.
Silently, you asked, "Is something on your mind, mi amor?"
He whispered instantly, his fingers intertwining with your form in a tenderness that would make the clouds shy away. "You... mi cielo."
A soft chuckle escaped your lips as you broke the silence once more. "I know, mi amor. I meant, is there anything bothering you?"
"No. Nothing at all.. when I am with you, I am so much happier…”

note my hyper fixation is alive y'all, i am not over the infinite darkness leon, but re2 leon is so sweet. sorry if it's inaccurate this is one of the rare times where i post something other than the cod fics. enjoy and ily
**
“[he] is only slain by stab after stab, and loves on till the last drop of life blood drips away”
Raccoon City, what a magnificent place to be! The soft notes of jazz filled the air, permeating your car as you gracefully cruised through the night. Darkness reigned, with a sprinkling of stars and a glowing moon casting its ethereal light upon the road. It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young.
Ah, speaking of youth, you spotted a youthful-looking police officer on the side of the road, gesturing for you to pull over.
Darn it.
Trouble was certainly brewing. You were well aware that the curfew had already passed, a precautionary measure implemented by the government to safeguard citizens from a recent spate of serial killings. They were secretive about the details, as always.
With a heavy sigh, you glanced in the rearview mirror. Thoughts raced through your mind as you turned off the engine, coming to a halt just as the officer approached your vehicle.
Taking a moment to double-check the weapon holstered at his side, the officer—Leon, made his way towards you. A gentle cough escaped his lips before he rested his forearm on the window, knocking lightly to signal for you to lower it.
As you complied, a sweet smile adorned your face, emitting an aura of innocence. The cold breeze crept under Leon's skin, causing him to shiver. He couldn't help but be captivated by your alluring smile and daring attire, a testament to your mischievous nature. Despite his best efforts to maintain composure, his heartbeat quickened as he mustered the courage to speak, attempting to avoid any stammering. "Your registration and identity papers, miss.."
You obliged, handing him the requested documents and, for a fleeting moment, your fingers brushed against each other. Your mischievous self reveled in his bashfulness, as his cheeks flushed, and he retreated to his patrol car to inspect your records. Meanwhile, you remained still, leaning against the window with an impish grin.
Leon returned, his voice barely above a whisper as he returned your papers. "It is past curfew, miss. May I know why you are out?"
Your smile grew wider as you locked eyes with him, finding him rather intriguing. His baby blues avoided your gaze as he fidgeted with the door. With a grin, you replied, "I was with a friend, officer. I assure you, I am a good girl."
Leon gulped, nervously rubbing his neck as the blush continued to stain his cheeks. These formalities were unfamiliar territory for him, making him all the more flustered. Softly, he whispered, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he leaned closer to the window. "Alright, miss... I mean, call me Leon."
You asked, finding the play rather too attempting not to."Tell me Leon, do you always work alone so late?"
He shook his head, feeling his insides flatter with warmth, none had really shown interst in his job before. He replied in a hushed tone still smiling.
"No, I usually don't work alone at such late hours. This is my first time."
Ah, still so young, you thought to yourself.
No, not him.
You nodded, sealing his cheek with a tender kiss. Leon blushed once again, pulling away and watching in awe as you started the car. "Take care miss!"
He called out, and you laughed, "I do enjoy a little danger, Leon."
He observed as you drove off, his heart fluttering with an unfamiliar sensation. Unfortunately, he was oblivious to the crimson stain on your shirt or the axe resting in the back seat.
The following morning, Leon couldn't believe his eyes when he saw your picture in the newspaper. The headline screamed of the capture of the notorious serial killer who had slain a cop while being stopped during the curfew.
You did that in order to silence the persistent officer who had stopped you right after Leon. Caught red-handed, the only thing on your mind was those mesmerizing baby blues... too precious, too angelic. You contented yourself with leaving a mark on his cheek and etching a core memory in his heart.

Hallway
Phillip Graves x Fem!Reader
MASTERPOST
Tumblr media
Summary: Based on MW3, where you give the Arrogant Commander a cold shoulder as he teams up with your unit in the purpose of catching the bad guys.
Warnings: Cod usual violence, based on MW2 and MW3, mentions of Graves betrayal.
Tumblr media
"Each day you rise with me , know that I'd gladly be the Icarus to your certainty."
Graves had returned.
The enthusiasm was tainted by the memories of his past actions. There was a time when he had almost taken the lives of everyone in the room. The tension was palpable during the call with General Shepard, and it lingered in the base as everyone awaited his arrival.
During his absence, you had been on a side mission. You never truly believed that Graves had died, knowing that he was not the type to go down so easily. If he were to meet his end, it would be in a more dramatic and tragic way, perhaps with a dagger piercing his heart, just as he had pierced yours when he nearly killed your teammates. Despite your disdain for the man, you couldn't help but longe for his presence. He relished in the power he held over you, ordering you around and demanding extra gym sessions to "maintain your strength".
Graves was back, "the American bastard" if you ask Gaz and an "the arsehole" as Soap added. Captain, unable to contain his contempt, had burnt half of his cigars to prevent himself from snapping the man's neck every time he opened his mouth. Ghost, true to his name, shot Graves his usual icy glares, though fortunately they were not lethal, or else Graves would already be rotting in hell.
Graves hadn't changed a bit. He still served that smug demeanor and spoke with a southern drawl that he seemed to inject into every word that fell from his lips. He smirked shamelessly, his eyes fixated on you before he confidently asked, "Missed me, darlin'? I know you did." Your heart tightened at his words, torn between wanting to slap him and kiss him senseless. However, you managed to maintain a neutral expression as he continued, "Where's my welcome back, sugar?"
Gaz, clearly unimpressed, intervened and pushed you away from Graves, dismissing his extended hand for a handshake. "Shove it up your arse," Gaz retorted, unyielding in his dislike and anger for the man.
Graves had been captivated by you ever since he joined TF141. You were a remarkable young woman, fierce and unafraid to speak your mind, earning the respect of your superiors. He couldn't help but feel drawn to you, despite his annoying smugness. His attempts to gain your attention often manifested as mockery and taunting. Deep down, he longed to hold you close and feel your touch. However, when you began to warm up to him, betrayal struck, driving a wedge between you.
He was determined to repair that breach.
"Aren't those weights a bit heavy for you, darlin'?" Graves remarked, his eyes fixed on you as you let the barbell fall to the ground. You hadn't even noticed his presence, so focused were you on your workout. Your chest tightened, reminiscing about the old days when he would taunt and annoy you. Though you had promised yourself to ignore him completely, he had broken your heart once, and you couldn't afford to let him reopen those wounds.
You ignored him, shooting him a cold glare before lifting the barbell once again. Graves smirked, amused by your icy demeanor. It was a challenge for him to see how much he could push you before you broke down and let your guard down. He relished in getting under your skin, even though it pained him not being able to approach you in any other way.
The room was thick with the scent of sweat and the heat of intense concentration. It was deathly silent, save for the sound of your shallow breaths and light paintings.
Graves stood there, unusually quiet, his gaze fixed on you like a predator stalking its prey. He swallowed the lump in his throat and spoke with a mockingly confident tone, his southern drawl becoming more pronounced. "You're hurting your hands, sweetheart. You're meant to look pretty and keep quiet, not fight men three times your size," Graves added.
Your eyes gleamed with a surge of adrenaline. You turned to face him, dropping the heavy barbell and walking towards him with a fiery glare. You snapped, your words laced with a fiery passion, a storm threatening to consume his very existence. "Want to see what these hands can do too?"
Graves smirked, folding his arms and exuding an air of confidence and arrogance. Yet, there was something else in his gaze. He yearned for your attention, scanning your figure from head to toe, as if watching you train or work countless times wasn't enough to memorize every inch of your skin. "Yeah, I'd love to find out," he replied eagerly.
In a swift motion, you tripped him up and landed a light punch, causing him to fall to the ground. The smirk never left his face. You pressed your knee against his ribcage, applying slight pressure as a warning. "I wouldn't hesitate to knock you out if you say something like that again," you warned, your voice filled with determination.
Graves let out a sharp gasp, feeling the weight of your presence pinning him down. His body tensed, his blood racing through his veins. He couldn't help but revel in the fire burning in your eyes. "I suppose I crossed a line, darlin'," he rasped, his voice low.
As you moved away, returning to your workout, Graves took a deep breath. He couldn't help but yearn for you even more, despite the cold shoulder you gave him. His eyes followed the contours of your body as you worked on the pulldown machine. Leaning against the wall, he shamelessly continued to stare, captivated by your every move.
He made no attempt to conceal the desire burning within him as he glanced over at you. Despite the potential risks of breaking a few rules and facing the consequences, he mustered the courage to speak up.
"Wouldn't you appreciate my help, darling? You seem quite confused."
You let out a sigh, raising an eyebrow as you observed the man. His face displayed an assured smirk that hinted at a superiority complex. His lips curled slightly, forming a subtle, knowing smile that added to the smugness radiating from his countenance. Clutching your water bottle, you muttered in frustration.
"Don't you have meetings or reports to attend to instead of wasting my time?"
"It won't take me long to finish those reports and meetings. Care to swing by my office and see for yourself?" Graves added with a teasing wink.
Your attempts to ignore him only fueled the fire burning in his heart and warming his soul. He folded his arms, leaning back against the wall as he watched you gather your belongings. A slight twinge of pain coursed through him, not wanting you to leave.
"Just leaving me here like that, sweetheart? You didn't even say goodbye."
"Why would I?" you scoffed, walking past him.
The scent of your perfume tormented his senses, and he found himself staring at the open door in shock. He followed you, feeling a wave of disappointment wash over him.
Why were you so distant now?
He longed to hold you, to kiss you, to embrace the burning sensation he felt. He called out your name, trying not to let his voice betray the desperation that consumed him.
"Darling, I..." Graves spoke softly, his eyes filled with pain.
You let out a sigh, finally stopping in the middle of the hallway. You didn't turn around, ensuring he wouldn't see the fire in your chest or the pain etched all over your face.
Graves experienced a mixture of emotions. His pride yearned to command you, to force you to face him and express your emotions. But he knew it was a losing battle, considering you had been ignoring him for the past few weeks. No one had ever treated him this way. He commanded, watching your calm figure in front of him.
"Look at me," he whispered, and you could swear you heard a hint of shyness and shame in his words. "Please...?"
You faced him, the venom and pain mixing in your heart, extinguishing any other emotions that remained in your mind.
"Of course, Commander. Why wouldn't I look at the man who once betrayed us?"
Graves gritted his teeth, his emotions in turmoil as anger and guilt battled within him. He was so close yet so far away, feeling himself being pulled towards you.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Graves finally met your eyes, his blue orbs filled with both desire and pain. A bittersweet serenity enveloped you both.
"You want me to acknowledge you as if you hadn't done anything. You've lived a long life, yet you still have no clue about the consequences of your actions."
Graves took a deep breath, his anger resurfacing, accentuated by his southern drawl, making him sound even more threatening.
"That was an order from Shepard. We had to take the base to ensure we could find the terrorists and make sure there were no survivors. As for Alejandro..." Graves hesitated for a moment but decided to be as honest as he could. "We were following orders. I didn't have a choice."
"They trusted you. I thought I could trust you," you whispered, your eyes piercing him with a cold, angry gaze.
Graves fell silent for a moment, feeling the sting of your words pierce his heart like a dagger. He cleared his throat before muttering, his tone tinged with weariness.
"I had to make choices I didn't want to. I couldn't refuse, not when hundreds of lives relied on me. Refusing meant their death. Someone had to die. This is war."
"Next time he asks you to bomb our base, you'll comply, won't you?" you challenged.
Graves's heart sank as you spoke. He hesitated for a few moments, trying to find the words to answer, but he had nothing to defend himself with. He spoke in a tired, exhausted tone, the fire that once burned within him now extinguished.
"No," he paused, his tone quiet and filled with despair. "I would rather end my own life than hurt a single hair of you."
Your head snapped up, confusion evident in your eyes. "What do you mean?"
Graves couldn't bear your cold words any longer. He turned away from you, his shoulders slumped as emotions began to overwhelm him. In his mind, he replayed all the moments he was forced to hurt and kill. His past and the pain he had caused were eating away at his soul. His voice was weak when he spoke, his Southern drawl a mere echoGraves couldn't hide his burning desire as he looked at you. Despite the potential risks and consequences, he mustered the courage to speak up.
"Nothing is more precious to me than you. I requested your captain to send you for gathering intel before my mission. I knew Shepard would use you as a threat, and my soldiers would try to detain you. Dralin, you are my only weakness, and I wish for nothing more than to protect you from harm," Graves said quietly, unsure if he was speaking to himself or to you.
You were completely shocked, taken aback by his words.
Was this his confession? What had you done to cause such a reaction from the usually composed commander?
Your mere presence seemed to have pushed him to the edge. But if it meant that you will embrace him and kiss away his sorrows, he was willing to accept that fate.
Graves continued, guilt evident in the way he cupped his left elbow. "Shepard is... influential. There was no time to ask for help. Besides, it was just me and my team against that army." He turned to look at you with a solemn expression. "It was impossible to fight them and survive..."
You looked down, your hand hesitantly reaching for his calloused palm, gently cupping it in your own. You squeezed his scarred flesh, silently murmuring.
"I believe you..."
Graves' gaze remained fixed on you. The warmth in your voice and your attempts to comfort him stirred something deep within his heart. He stepped closer to you, speaking softly.
"I was afraid of losing everything... I couldn't bear to imagine what would have happened to all of you if I had chosen to side with you instead of Shepard." Graves whispered, his words sounding like a confession.
Standing before you, he felt vulnerable. The touch of your cold hand in his made shivers run down his spine, reminiscent of the feelings of young love. Graves had fallen for many women, but none had ever made him lose his mind and experience the intoxicating bliss that you brought to his life.
"I'm sorry, darlin, my decisions are never perfect... I have blood on my hands... so much blood... I just..." he murmured, his head lowered and his eyes downcast.
Summoning the little courage you had, you brushed away a few strands of hair that had fallen on his face and leaned in to join your lips together. At first, he was still, shocked by the gesture, but soon his warm lips met yours, and the two of you became lost in a passionate embrace. It was enchanting, like two intertwined swans, their souls merging into one.
As you pulled away for a breath, your lips still lingering close to his, his hand cupped the back of your head, gently stroking your locks.
"I forgave you... a long time ago..." you whispered against his lips. A small twitch at the corner of his mouth revealed a genuine smile, not the usual smug grin or fake laugh. It was a smile that only appeared when you complimented his hair or his skills.
He hugged you tightly, holding you close to his chest, seeking solace in the curve of your neck. Finally, he let go of all the painful emotions that had been eating away at his soul, allowing you to embrace him and experiencing a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in a long time.
You kissed until you were breathless, leaning against the wall and savoring the eternal elixir of each other's lips. It was a divine moment, shared in the empty hallway.
Graves cupped your face, a smile spreading across his flushed features, a faint blush coloring his cheeks. Nothing else mattered to him now. Once a sorrowful man, believing he had lost everything, he had come back to life with you in his arms. Your sweet face smiled softly as you continued to kiss him, over and over again.

Phillip Graves x fem!reader
summary: I'll crawl home to you, and if you dare to push me away, I'll break into ashes, thus my dust will fill your every space.
★ comfort (reversed) fluff/angsty/married couple/ legal age gap
notes: a sweet treat for my stars, so sorry for being away, I don't know when I'll come back, it feels too good to be here, and I don't want to leave. Ilysm for everything you had done to me, your support for the last 5 months had been incredible. I never thought I'd start this journey and honestly, it's all amazing. ty <3
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Your husband was unusually quiet tonight. Despite being a proud man who usually took every opportunity to boast about you and his company, he remained silent throughout the evening. His arm rested gently on your waist as he absentmindedly followed the conversation. At first, you assumed he was just being protective, but there was something else on his mind.
You caught him stealing glances at your two friends dancing together on the dance floor. Sipping your drink, you couldn't help but wonder what was bothering him. He had refused to dance, citing an aching back from work. You absentmindedly traced the scar on his cheek, but he gently brushed your hand, placing it back on the table, as if he didn't want to be touched or engaged with. Finally, you understood and let go of him. Philip coughed nervously, fidgeting with his hands before deciding to step outside for a smoke. You nodded, deciding to join your friends on the dance floor. His behavior occupied your mind, but you resolved to ask him later what was wrong.
You slipped off your heels and fell onto the bed with a contented sigh. Philip sat on the edge, almost slumping to the ground. It was then that you noticed the furrowed brow that he wore. He was never one to easily show vulnerability or ask for help. You couldn't blame him, considering all that he had been through.
You moved closer to him, and he turned his head, avoiding your gaze. Your hand gently rested on his back, feeling the warmth of his skin radiating beneath your cold fingers. He hesitated for a moment before leaning into your touch. You sighed.
"What's wrong, Phil? Something bothering you?"
He remained silent for several moments, but then a sob escaped his lips as his body subtly shook. He turned away, hiding his face completely from you. His blond hair fell messily onto his forehead as he whispered between his hands with a broken tone, "Why me? Why did you choose me?"
You furrowed your brow, and he repeated himself, this time with a melancholic tone that couldn't be mistaken.
"I'm an old dog, nothing more than a war machine. Why me, darling? You could have had any other man— young, handsome. Yet you chose me," he confessed, gripping your hand tightly. His voice was quiet, but his words resonated louder than any shout.
"No, that's not true. I chose you because..."
He shook his head, unwilling to listen to anything. He interrupted, looking at you with a frown. "You know that I'm too old for you, right? I've got a face full of wrinkles, my hair is turning grey..." He turned away, releasing your hand and standing up. "Why can't you find yourself a younger man? Someone who can still dance with you at parties? Someone who can make you happy?"
You protested, standing up and facing him. "You make me happy."
He shook his head, looking at you once again. Affection was always present in his gaze, but fear had blinded him.
"Somebody who... somebody who won't die and leave you a widow," he said, looking into your eyes. The once bright blue of his eyes now reflected a somber shade, like a raging arctic in the midst of a storm of doubts.
"You know the end, we all die sooner or later. Why think about it now?"
"B-because you deserve better than me," he stammered.
"I love you," you said firmly.
His head snapped back, familiar with those words that were repeated daily, from dawn till dusk. But in this moment, they held more significance than ever.
"I love you. Nothing else matters to me. Why would I want another man when I have you?"
His cheeks flushed slightly, and he coughed, a weight being lifted off his shoulders.
"What about when I'm 60 and can't get out of bed without groaning?" he asked, a small smile playing on his lips. You stepped closer, wrapping your arms around his neck, a smile mirroring one from long ago.
"When you can hardly walk and your hair is falling out, I'll still feel the same about you," you reassured, squeezing his hand and smiling.
He looked at you in disbelief. "You'd do that for me? Even if I became a miserable old coot who wakes up every morning with joints that creak louder than an engine?"
You nodded. "When you reach 60, that'll still be 20 years from now. Until then, we can live without worrying about it. It doesn't matter what you become; it's about the life we've had together. No one cares about later. Let's enjoy what we have, Phil."
"God, I feel like I'm talking to a poet or something," he chuckled.
His hand gently cupped yours, his thumb tracing over the scar on his cheek. "What about my s-," he began, but you interrupted him with a tender kiss on his cheek. The warmth of your lips left a burning sensation on his skin, igniting a fire within him.
"I adore it, I adore every scar you have, everything about you," you assured him, your words carrying a depth of love and acceptance.
Tears welled up in his eyes once again, and you brushed them away with your thumb, kissing away the single tear that escaped. The weight of judgment and self-doubt he had been carrying seemed heavier than any burden he had faced before.
A wide grin spread across his face, and he lifted you up, spinning you around in joy. "Something about you makes me so happy, darling... your words are like witchcraft!" he exclaimed, his laughter filling the room.
You giggled, playfully ruffling his blond locks, earning a mock frown from him. "No! No touching the hair!" he protested, but you couldn't resist running your fingers through his soft hair once more, as if symbolically removing the last traces of doubt from his mind. He couldn't help but laugh, his resistance crumbling under your touch.
"Okay, now you're asking for it, you know," he teased, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Philip tilted your head down, gazing into your eyes with an overwhelming love. The softness of your lips enchanted him, and he leaned in, sipping from the elixir of immortality.
Your love was a delicate blend of honey and roses, overflowing with affection shared behind closed doors, a secret garden of emotions.
His warm breath brushed against your cheek, carrying a hint of alcohol from the earlier sip of whiskey. It trailed along your jawline and neck, leaving a tantalizing sensation in its wake. He whispered softly, gently setting you back down.
"You're a work of art, sweetheart... something I'll never fully understand, but something I'll forever pray for and thank God for granting me."

Tumblr media
Including: rudy, alejandro, ghost, soap Warnings: sfw, pure fluff, fem!reader Note: I can do a p2 with the rest of the characters if y'all are interested :D
«Moon, tell me if I could
Send up my heart to you?»
Rodolfo Rudy Parra
From the moment you met Rudy, you knew he was the right man. Not only because of his sweet demeanor, but also because of his charming personality and kind nature that made you fall hard for him. You and Rudy have been dating for almost a year and a half, and he has always treated you like a precious and delicate creature. No one has ever made you feel the way he does.
While you lived in the southern side of Las Almas with your family, Rudy resided in the bustling center of town. Getting to meet him was always a significant journey, especially with the increasing cartel crimes that made it unsafe to roam the city. However, the allure of spending nights in your lover's apartment was irresistible.
You were ready to take the next step in your relationship and couldn't wait to tell him. One late night, after spending the day together at his flat, making pizzas and dancing, you cuddled on the couch, sipping the Champurrado he had made. Rudy chuckled and gently wiped the chocolate mustache stain from your face before speaking lovingly.
"I haven't had this much fun in a while, mi amor," he murmured, brushing the strands of hair away from your face. "You seem distracted, amor. What's wrong?"
You sighed, placing your mug down, knowing it was the perfect moment to ask him. Adrenaline coursed through your veins as you gathered your courage.
"Promise me you won't get mad?" you said, looking into his eyes.
"You didn't like my abuelita's recipe?" he replied, giving you a disappointed look, causing you to laugh and shake your head.
"No, it's... I just miss you, Rudy. I feel like we're wasting time living apart. I wish we could... you know... live together. And it's..."
"You want to move in with me?" he interrupted, cupping your face and looking both serious and surprised.
You slowly nodded, furrowing your eyebrows, wondering if it was indeed a good idea. But Rudy's expression turned into a wide grin, as if to make sure you weren't joking. He pulled you into a warm embrace and showered kisses all over your face. Then, with a surge of excitement, he babbled in quick Spanish giving you a whole monologue, though you couldn't quite make out the words.
You assumed he was just thrilled, as he jumped up and rushed to grab his phone, yelling, "TE QUIERO TANTO MI AMOR!" before locking himself in the bathroom to happily inform Alejandro.
translation (i love you so much my love!)
ALEJANDRO VARGAS
After the betrayal of Phillip Graves and witnessing your lover wounded but still fighting with all his might, you were certain of two things. Alejandro Vargas was a loyal man through and through, and he was the man you wanted to be by your side until the end.
It was quite amusing how you had never considered moving in with him sooner, given that you both worked on the same frontlines, fighting against the same enemies, and spent countless nights together guarding your beloved country. The time had come to embark on a new chapter together, though you were unsure if he would agree. However, the thought of losing him that day shattered any trace of doubt or fear, leaving you with an overwhelming desire to hold him in your arms.
After a delightful dinner, you joined Alejandro on the rooftop of the base, a cherished ritual the two of you shared. Sitting in his arms, gazing at the stars, was the highlight of your day, especially since Alejandro was always busy with his duties. He motioned for you to come closer, opening his arms to welcome you as you rested your head on his thigh, relishing in the sensation of his fingers running through your hair. You inhaled his musky scent, your eyes fixed on the dark expanse above. Alejandro's smile brightened as he planted a tender kiss on your forehead, then whispered softly.
"My love, is everything alright? I haven't seen you this pensive in quite some time," he chuckled as you rolled your eyes, prompting you to share what was on your mind.
You sighed, sitting up and locking eyes with him. "I just...miss you," you confessed.
Furrowing his brow, Alejandro nodded, encouraging you to continue. "Miss me?" he queried.
"It's just...I wish we could spend more time together. I thought a part of me died when they took you away. I thought I would never see you again. That day made me realize how much I love you, Alejandro."
His gaze softened as he uttered a heartfelt, "I love you too," nodding for you to proceed.
"Would you like to move in together?" you blurted out, looking in his eyes with a hopeful yet anxious gaze.
The grin on his face widened, and he looked away briefly, his cheeks flushing with excitement. He bit his lip, unable to contain his joy.
"I was actually about to ask you the same thing, mi cielo..."
SIMON GHOST RILEY
You and Ghost were like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together, despite both being reserved and chilly individuals. Behind closed doors, you shared a love that no one expected to blossom. You connected on a deeper level, communicating your feelings without the need for words. It was as if you could understand each other's thoughts. Just like Simon, he wasn't fond of people, and neither were you.
Silence was your sanctuary, and you relished in the tranquil moments, indulging in activities during the early dawn or late night when the world was at its calmest. Spending the night at Simon's small flat in the city, the most peaceful corner of the bustling nation, felt like being in a place where you truly belonged.
He allowed himself to be vulnerable with you, gradually revealing more of his true self, shedding his mask on certain days, and even letting you take care of his hair and face.
Those special days spent together created cherished memories. Deep down, you yearned for more, wishing he could be the last person you saw before bed and the first person you woke up to. You hoped he felt the same way. Simon believed that actions spoke louder than words, and he made sure to keep you happy, occasionally letting slip a heartfelt "luv you."
Once again, you rose early to a cold day, with the usual morning fog lingering until the sun's rays pierced through.
It had become a habit to take Simon's dog for a walk before breakfast, as the nearby coffee shops opened up. Side by side, you walked in silence, inhaling the stillness and watching the droplets of water on the road. Simon placed a comforting hand on your shoulder, drawing you close for warmth as he calmly asked, "You alright?"
You sighed and nodded, your hands fumbling to warm them up. He clasped your palm, tucking it into his pocket, grumbling, "You should have told me straight away. There's no point in venting to Gaz." You looked at him in shock, feeling your cheeks flush. He had overheard your conversation with Gaz about how much you wanted to move in with Simon.
Ignoring your embarrassed state, Simon muttered, "Next time, tell me. I never said you weren't welcome there. Didn't know you had a parrot's brain.. that place is your home too." You gulped, staring at him in astonishment. "You, you don't mind?" His response was simple, he looked away and you swear you saw his eyes twinkle for a moment, "Never said I did."
JOHHNY SOAP MACTAVISH
The holidays were approaching, and you knew that you wouldn't see Johnny for at least two weeks. It broke your heart to be so close yet still apart. The Scottish man resided in a different city, causing the pain of distance to gnaw at you. No matter how many nights you spent together, one of you always had to leave in the morning, leaving the other to bathe in the sorrow of separation.
You longed to gather the courage to ask Johnny to move in together, but fear held you back. He was a composed man who loved you more than his beloved mohawk.
As everyone packed their belongings for the holidays, preparing to return to their flats, family homes, or partners, you entered Johnny's room and set your sports bag aside before sitting on his bed. A small laugh escaped your lips as Johnny scowled, procrastinating on packing until the last minute and now struggling to fit numerous shirts into his bag. You folded a shirt, assisting him in the task before smiling.
"So, Johnny, what are you going to do when you go back?" you asked. He grinned, carelessly tossing the clothes into the bag despite your protests. "Well, bonnie, I'm going to visit my family, and then I'll come to your place andbkidbap you and make you spend the rest of the holiday with me." You laughed and shook your head. "Can I tell you something, Johnny?" He furrowed his eyebrows, mumbling as he focused on his packing. "You'll come to my house. My mom has been dying to meet you. No excuses."
You chuckled and replied, "Well, I mean... I'd love to meet her, of course. But what I was actually talking about... do you think it's time for us to take the next step?"
The look on his face was priceless, and you had to playfully slap his arm to prevent him from blurting out something scandalous. "Not that way, you idiot. I meant... I think we should move in together. It feels like the perfect timing."
His grin widened, and he swept you off your feet, twirling you in the air. "I can't believe you said that, bonnie.. We..."
He didn't get to finish his sentence as he slipped on one of the shirts scattered on the floor, causing you to fall on your rear while he ended up trapped in his bag.
"Bonnie, help me!" he exclaimed. You chuckled and teasingly remarked, "I"I think I might just reconsider this step..."

There you are
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
summary: period comfort, no further explanation
warnings: SFW fem! reader, periods, tiny headcanons\fic sorry
note: not proofread, I'll edit it later
Also I'll post another fic about rudy in the day, i am just emptying my head or I'll explode.
Tumblr media
“Like fire weeping from a cedar tree, know that my love would burn with me We'll live eternally”
This man is just too sweet :(
Rudy is usually just too sweet, he never stops offering affection, his gentle touch and tiny kisses are enough to cease your worries and sorrow.
He always keeps a snack and water in his nightstand in case you woke up at night.
When you wanted to come over, he was more than excited. He wanted to pamper you and take care of you.
His strongest trait is how observant and thoughtful he can be.
Rudy loved you deerly, he wished to give you the Ultimest love and unlimited comfort.
He offered to go shopping "to restock his apartment"
Secretly wanting to know what brands you used/prefered so he gets some for you, "just in case" :(
He ended getting more than just one packet of tampons.
Rudy got a whole section of sanitary/hygiene products and put them in a special drawer in his bathroom.
He even got your prefered soap and conditioner. Along a vanilla scented candle and a plushie :(
You thought he'll change after some time?
Ha
Jokes on you
Turns out he planned to be the sweetest man till his last breath :((
Today, because it had to be today :(
He figured out something was wrong when you woke up earlier than you usually do.
You were restless, fidgeting and roaming around.
He realized you were on your period when you kept holding your stomach and complain about back pain and headaches.
Your burning cheeks as you nodded, saying you were okay were the key.
Why were you embarrassed of telling him?
He didn't understand this embarrassment, you had nothing to feel shame about.
Rudy made sure to check the calendar and marked it down.
He did even keep a tracker on his phone for this time of month. Why wouldn't he?
He uttered, eyeing your tired form
"you alright, mi Cielo?"
He sighed when you nodded with an embarrassed yes.
You were lying
You were in fact, facing the ultimate- greatest - throeful - most painful period cramp of your entire existence.
You shed a tear while keeping the huge grin from ear to ear
Ha
You thought that'll fool him?
Nuh uh
He told you to go lay while he prepared something
Rudy preppared you a cup of warm tea, smiling as he handed you the cup
You sipped the hot drink, grateful for his kindness
He whispered, sitting beside you on the coach.
"There is no need to be embarrassed...I get it...you are not feeling well, and thats understandable, I just want you to be comfortable."
He smiled, stroking your cheek with his thumb.
When you finally told him, he chuckled, kissing your forehead.
"Thats alright, I figured you had it...just wanted to be here for you, mija"
You thought he'll be annoyed because of your mood swings or cravings?
Ha
Fool
"You are not whiny nor too sensative. You are just a human being...there is nothing to be guilty of, cariña.
"We can take the day off and rest at home with some pizza and icecream..."
He was startled when you started to tear up.
"Mi amor if you don't want pizza we can make something else!"
He nodded when you explained through tears you were just a tid more emotional, and he was just too sweet:(
Rudy kissed your tears, his lips brushing over your eye lids and cheeks :(
He smiled, uttering.
"I love you...you deserve the world, amor, you hear me?"
He said in a soft tender tone, letting his eyes roam on your tired face.
"we will have a nice day and you must rest as much as you want. I got you, amor..."
He ended by making the best pizzas. He gave you medicine, a warm bottle to put on your tummy and the best back masage of your existence :(
Rudy was unlike any men you ever met, he was just, him.
He treated you like the most precious gem.
He loved you deerly.
In fact, he wished for nothing more than holding you in nights like these, where you bury your head in his neck and he tells you fairytale in Spanish till you fall asleep.
He adored you
this could be me but instead i have an exam and dump finals to take care of. help

Cod men in a mall??
I am bored, so i am shoving all of them in a mall. This is supposed to be funny, idk man.
Silly drabbles for TF141, Vaqueros, phil and könig.
warnings: none! fluff :) proofread but might contain some faults
credit to owner for the divider I don't know to who it belongs!!
masterpost • AO3
Tumblr media
Ghost
He didn't want to go.
After giving him the cutest puppy eyes he said yes.
"I don't want to spend three hours in makeup stores"
He gave you the Ultimest glare as you passed by the shop in question.
Ended looking around for perfumes and breaking one by accident.
The employee was too scared to confront him.
You tried to convince him into buying an green hoodie with cat ears.
*typical ghost glare*
Was happy when they said they didn't have his size.
Now imagine him wearing the same sweater, looking like a crop top on him while you took pics.
Never went to the mall with you again
"no chance not going"
(he said yes lol)
John Price
Spent good five minutes fighting with an employee over the way a cuppa should be made.
You tried on multiple bucket hats and took pics. He was grinning the whole time. :(
"John, do you think I can buy this mall?"
"Absolutely not Love."
He'd buy it for you if you asked, though.
You thrifted together some vintage sweaters and wore them over hot drinks, the same night.
He is the sanest of them all. (optional)
Gaz :)
He needed to restock, so you went to the mall.
You wanted to sit in the cart, and so did he.
Both of you sat in the cart, ended bumping in the vegetable section and kicked out.
You can't go there together anymore.
For the rest of the afternoon, you ate ice cream and threw a coin in the Fontaine
"Nah but seriously, love, I'd go into that bloody pool and collect all the money. A legit fortune for us, yeah?"
Soap Johnny Mactavish
He wanted to get a weighted blanket, considering the cold weather in the base.
He jokingly wrapped you in it.
You couldn't move and looked like a worm.
"Ya look funny, lassie. Liile worm, go.."
Soap wrapped himself in a weighted blanket as well and you made a race on who'll reach the paying section first. The owners wasn't very happy.
**
You took pictures in a photobooth, you frowned in annoyance at the first set, with Soap giving you bunny ears behind your back.
Although, it was cute.
That.. until a raccon randomly barged in. The astonishment was priceless and the pictures remain in your wallets.
Soap begged to keep the raccoon.
(It bit him.)
Alejandro Vargas
He wanted to buy you something special.
He didn't mind the price, while your eyes lagged at the series of zeros in the tag.
He shoved everything your eyes laid on in the basquet, calling it a day.
You had to hold him or else he'd buy the whole section.
He ended surprising you with a bracelet, one you always gazed at whenever you came.
He shushed you before you even open your mouth, smiling.
"nonono cariño, no thanks, i am all yours."
:')
Rudy Parra
:(
Sweet boy just wanted to buy a book.
He heard about a certain section in the library and wanted to check it out with you.
(you see where this is going)
You both chose a book, thinking the cute cover was a projection of what lays on the papers.
Wrong.
Two words in, you gazed at each other, put the book on the shelf and went to get a film.
You never entered that section again.
Aside from this, you had so much fun chosing each other fits and trying them on.
Phillip Graves
He is a proud American, of course.
Having his alarm as the national Anthem and riding to the sun with the eagle on his shoulder.
Anyway..
Phil practically begged you to get a certain pyjama, red white and blue to match his own.
He took your no to heart and gave you a cold shoulder (for five minutes only, he trailed afterwards on your feet like a lost puppy.)
He kept a hand around your waist, glaring at men who's gaze lingered on you.
"Eh darlin, there is no point in buying new sweaters, mine are yours. It suits you perfectly, beautiful!"
könig
He wanted new pants, and your opinion, so you went together.
And meanwhile you might think this is an easy task, allow me to say "NUH UH"
Have you seen this man?
He tried a pair of cargo pants, claiming it is his size.
Two steps in, the material ripped apart.
He took it off and, ever so calmly, he returned it in the back of the pile, as if nothing happened.
You left the store, and he uttered, pulling you to his side for warmth
"It's alright, not the first time, Maus.. They should make pants more stretchy, ja?"

John sighed. His eyes meeting yours before he uttered, his hand sliding to give yours a gentle squeeze.
"Those old events are what has shaped you up to this very point, you shouldn't forget about them but instead learn from them and move on," he whispered, his eyes never leaving yours.
His thumb brushed your tears before he added, smiling comfortingly, "I am here. Always."

Dangerously yours
Simon Ghost Riley
Tumblr media
summary: "In the depths of his being, he eluded your grip. For the first time in an eternity, he allowed himself to pursue it, to chase after its essence, and to surrender his very core to its consuming power."
warnings: poetic?, sfw, simon is a mysterious man
notes: happy two months to this account!! tysm for everyone who helped me make it this far, ily <3
don't judge this fic, first time writing about our silly ghost, hope it matched his character.. I'd appreciate any advices about him <3
✧・゚: *. ✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・.°•・゚゚・゜゜・.•
..We lay here for years or for hours,
So long we become the flowers..
The sky was dark, lightning struck through the clouds, and rainfall ensued. Simon nudged your side, urging you to move closer. There was no place where you and he felt more vulnerable and free than this hill, nestled deep in the forest, where the sky and ocean meet. You swung your legs lazily, gazing at the rocks and trees below in the piedmont. A sense of peace washed over you as you let your gaze roam amidst the tempestuous nature.
The ground felt harsh beneath your palms and tender flesh, yet you paid it little attention. It still offered more softness in some ways than the harsh reality that enveloped you and your teammates each day.
Droplets of rain began to pour, and neither Simon nor you moved an inch.
His face remained still, as it always did, concealing a raging war within his soul that only you had caught a glimpse of.
Even after all these years, you still managed to recognize the face beneath that mask. Countless times, you had brushed your fingertips against the tender skin of his face.
No words were needed; you had made a promise before unveiling the true nature hidden within his soul and heart.
Before joining the task force, you never realized the depth of silence's language. It was only after warming up to your cold lieutenant that you truly grasped this reality.
At first, Simon completely ignored you, pushing away that tightening feeling in his chest. He didn't want to form attachments. He yearned for your love more than his next breath, yet he was not prepared for the consequences that came with a relationship. It wasn't death he was afraid of; no, it was the thought of losing you.
He refused to acknowledge his feelings, choosing instead to watch over you from afar like the ghost he was. He observed you, maintaining a distance for his own sake. The mask on his face was a source of gratitude, concealing the chuckles that would arise when you acted smart with the captain or teased Johnny about his accent during dinner. Not to mention the countless pranks you and Gaz had shared, along the desk duty afterwards.
There was something special about you that he couldn't quite grasp. And for the first time in a long while, he allowed himself to pursue it, to chase after it, and to let it consume his very being.
Just like when he trained rookies every Tuesday morning with you. You were always ahead, never once late. He admired that about you, along with the many other qualities that made you irresistible in the eyes of the stoic lieutenant.
He barked orders at the rookies, firm and precise, waiting for them to shoot and miss. It happened more than once, and he swore he would lose his mind over these thick-skulled soldiers who couldn't hit, for gid sake, a single unmoving target. You, on the other hand, gracefully moved between the rookies, like a poised zephyr, gently instructing and assisting the nervous ones and helping them avoid the angry man.
You and Simon were different, yet somehow the same mud, fitting together like puzzle pieces.
You were calm; an ocean of tranquility that concealed a past that nothing could erase.
Simon was calm; a dark sky that promised a raging storm to follow.
Simon was the shifting sands, always changing. You, on the other hand, remained constant. A loyal sergeant, "a collected lassie" as Johnny affirmed, "with a witty sense of humor", as Gaz added. Captain Price simply nodded, his gaze shifting from your figure training away from them to the Ghost standing nearby, who murmured softly, finally releasing something he didn't realize he would ever say. "And great eyes."
The captain understood. Years of serving alongside the Ghost had given him some insight into the man, not entirely, mind you, but enough to comprehend what troubled him.
Love, Attraction, Affection...
Words with which Simon was well-acquainted, he comprehended the concept of love, had experienced it, and had been loved in return.
However, it was not until that fateful day in Mexico, when you tended to his wounded abdomen in a safe house, disregarding your own injuries and focusing solely on his, that he truly grasped the profound meaning of the word. As your fingertips skillfully treated his scarred skin, he felt an indescribable sensation, causing goosebumps to rise.
Assuming his hand was on his heart due to a chill, you were unaware that his heartbeats were overpowering him, igniting an intense fire within his body. Embarrassed by this overwhelming surge of emotions, he made every effort to regain his composure, even as his mind raced with thoughts. After you finished patching his stomach, aware that the lieutenant would not say much, you stood up. But a firm grip on your wrist halted your departure, causing you to sit back down as instructed. "wait," he ordered firmly, yet you still felt a certain uncertainty and a faint plea in the word.
He removed his mask, discarding it carelessly. You were already familiar with his face, so it came as no surprise when his fatigued grey eyes met yours. A trickle of blood across his temple caught your attention, prompting a frown to appear on your face. "Are you injured?" you asked, scanning his head for any signs of damage, but finding none. Your hand instinctively reached out to cup his temple, wiping away the trace of blood from a tiny cut. "Here?"
He blinked, releasing a long sigh before taking hold of your hand. Anticipating that he would push it away, you were surprised when he instead brought it to his chest, allowing it to rest gently on the tattered remains of his black shirt, directly above his heart. In a husky whisper, his eyes locked with yours, he uttered, "Here..."
Simon Riley was a mysterious man, but you understood that there were limits to what you needed to know. You did not delve into his past, and he was immensely grateful for your discretion. Through your affection and care, you enveloped him in a love that made him truly comprehend its profound essence. His previous notions of love as a curse, afflicting unfortunate individuals and functioning as a poison that consumed their thoughts before leading them to their demise, were now replaced with a newfound understanding. You made him experience a love unlike any he had encountered before.
Simon's gentle nudge, firmer this time, brought you back to the present. He offered a weary smile, his once dark grey eyes now lighter since the time you began your relationship, meeting your gaze. Sensing his touch on your face, not forceful but enough to capture your attention, you felt his calloused fingers, marked by their service, trace across your cold, rain-kissed cheek. "You are beautiful," he murmured.
You had heard this phrase countless times before, whether from colleagues, friends, or past lovers. Yet, when it rolled off his tongue, it felt different. You nodded, acknowledging the sentiment and allowing it to infuse your soul with peace and affection.
He coughed, fidgeting with his free hand in his pocket. Resting your head on his shoulder, you basked in the warmth that radiated from him, embracing you tightly. Your hand trailed along his knee, lightly patting his wet, dark jeans. Taking a deep breath, you felt the rain wash away your sorrows.
Simon cupped your free hand, delicately sliding a familiar metallic band onto your finger. Your eyes widened in shock as you stared at the man beside you and the exquisite ring adorning your hand. The black diamond shimmered, and you would have wagered it cost more than your monthly paycheck. He smirked, whispering softly as he pressed his lips against your hand, now adorned with the piece of jewelry
"Yes?"
A cry escaped your lips as you tightly embraced him. You knew he smiled, his hand resting gently on your back, providing a comforting pat.
In choosing to spend another chapter of his life with you, he desired nothing more than to be with you for the remainder of this lifetime.
Every part of him felt incomplete, yet he willingly entrusted you with the fragment that he still possessed. He believed that you would vanquish the darkness that plagued his heart, allowing the radiance of love to fill his chest.
Like a gentle butterfly, you landed upon him, kissing his heart and soul, declaring it your eternal abode.
He did not require a metallic band to prove your connection, for you had known it long ago and had been living it ever since.
Nevertheless, he felt an irresistible urge to offer you something, a grateful whisper, a constant reminder, in case he did not return one day, or in case you needed to fend off unwanted attention. He wished to claim you as his own because he was dangerously yours.

Phillip Graves x fem reader

Warnings New oc, self-sabotage, military inaccuracies, highly based on mw2 and 3
note i had this draft for now 4 days, couldn't spare time to post it. Ramadhan Karim to my folks ily 🤍

"And I am the idiot with the [tainted] face in the corner taking up space"
Mission [A2626]
Location: [CLASSIFIED]
Time: 11:03:15 - 10/10/2022
Phillip hurriedly exited the room. He couldn't help but unleash a string of curses under his breath, venting his frustrations from the past few hours. His ire was focused on Luke his brother, life choices that led him into crashing his butt for more than two hours on an uncomfortable chair, general Shepard and his stupid narcissistic self, the odd moments you chose to mock his stratigies, you and that pathetic of a person he ignored the existence till today morning.
Ever since your encounter in the archive room, Phil had been intrigued and hoped to sit beside you during today's meeting. He knew he had an advantage because, technically, he was your commander. He could sit wherever he pleased, and with Farah's stern gaze fixed upon you, there was no room for disobedience.
As Phillip chanted over some clever lines to impress you. He didn't know what made him interested, or persuasive, he was just following the flicker of light that perked from the wall.
However, his joy was quickly extinguished when he spotted you with another man. Anger welled up within him as he silently judged the fella who seemed careless, lifting you up and spinning you around. Tall, tanned, and muscular, he was the embodiment of strength.
The man eventually set you down, and Phillip averted his gaze. He hadn't realized that you had someone in your life. It wasn't jealousy that consumed him, but rather a profound envy that defied explanation. A fire burned inside him, igniting a desire to burn everything down in that room. But he chose to remain silent.
Phillip entertained the thought of praying for peace, even though he rarely indulged in such practice due to time and effort. Instead, he found himself praying for the slow death of the poor young man who had been yapping for the past five minutes about god knows what while holding your hand.
As everyone gathered around the table, Colonel Farah gestured towards the man, who once again had his hands draped around you. Phillip couldn't help but wish he could just bomb the entire room and be done with it.
"This is Sky, our former subordinate who will be assisting us in Mission A2626," Colonel Farah announced.
Phillip couldn't suppress a laugh. Well, at least he could compete with this guy when it came to having a cool name. Seriously, Sky? How pathetic. Under normal circumstances, Phillip might have been able to tolerate it, but with you clinging to him like a darned jacket? Absolutely not.
He looked up at Sky, shaking his hand with unnecessary force, a display of dominance reminiscent of the old days. "Nice to meet ya, Commander Graves, CEO of Shadow Company," Phillip introduced himself.
Sky didn't seem fazed in the slightest. He smiled, and Phillip couldn't help but think the guy should have been a model, although he would never admit it. Sky replied, "Sky Diver, Sergeant and right-hand of my little Ash.”
You snickered, playfully pushing Sky's shoulder before sitting away from Phil (how dare you).
Phillip could swear he saw a faint blush on your covered cheeks. He wished his words could bring a genuine smile to your face. Instead, all he ever received from you were cold glares and disgusted looks whenever he attempted to tell you one of his uncle Jo's lame jokes from Thanksgiving family gatherings.
In some strange way, it felt like he was back in high school, competing against the jock for the attention of the pretty girl. It was a peculiar and almost animalistic sensation, but to Phillip, it felt like a matter of life and death. He had only known you for three days, whereas it seemed like Ash had known you since you were in your mom's womb.
Phillip could have drowned his sorrows in any bar, downing the entire stock of rum and calling it a night. Or perhaps he could use that bazooka passed down from his great-great-great grandfather to blow up Ash's charming smile and his impressively large, tanned biceps.
He could certainly use a glass of rum.
But Phillip wasn't one to give up easily. No, he had never learnt a healthy way to handle pain or rejection. Instead, he pushed forward and tried even harder, even if it hurt him in the process. He needed to feel alive again, to experience something beyond the constant turmoil that surrounded him. He didn't know when the Reaper would come knocking on his door for another visit that would undoubtedly take his breath away (literally).
In the life of Commander Phillip Graves, the line between life and death was as thin as a coin. Fate had often saved him from falling into the abyss, but he knew that one day he would stumble and never find his way back. He had his own methods of finding enjoyment, whether it was going out, having a drink, or simply doing nothing at all.
He had avoided relationships like the plague. Firstly, he had never witnessed a healthy and successful relationship, growing up in a household that constantly portrayed them as dysfunctional (thanks to his excuse of a father). Secondly, he had never been in a relationship that lasted longer than a couple of months. He isn't exactly a bad person, he tries his best. Sometimes, it's not enough. He isn't a dog, he doesn't know why he bites.
But, as he looked at you, he found himself contemplating the idea of being with someone for the first time in years. Bless his old man heart that had beaten solely for the sake of survival and his ears that yearned to hear a genuine compliment that wasn't aimed at getting into his bed or emptying his pockets.
He knew you would never entertain the idea of being with him. You were young, probably in your early twenties, judging by the lack of information in your file. You were beautiful, intelligent, strong, respected, and above all, loved by everyone. Phillip, on the other hand, was an old dog, a soul scarred by war and battles. He may possess a certain handsomeness, but he despised the scars and every reminder of the pain etched onto his body. He wasn't well-loved, and many would pay a fortune to have his head.
You were out of his reach; he could never have you. Phillip could only watch from a distance, giving commands and irritating you. Perhaps, on the rare occasion, you might warm up to him and laugh at one of his jokes, but it would be as rare as a blue moon. However, one thing he was certain of: you would never be his.
After the meeting, where sitting for such extended period had left him with a square butt (a common side effect of being in the army or any job that involves prolonged sitting), he followed you and Sky discreetly. You were headed to the Mass hall?
Excellent.
He would be there, lurking behind your table, eavesdropping.
Wait, what? What do you mean he was spying?
How dare you make such an accusation! He was simply ensuring he had all eyes and ears focused on that parachute (seriously, Sky Diver? He thought Soap was outrageous). Secretly, he hoped Sky would turn out to be a hopeless hero who would volunteer to dive without a parachute when there were enough to go around (a dyslexic problem, no offense intended).
You and Sky spent the day inseparable, while Phillip trailed behind feeling disheartened. You seemed happy, and he didn't want to ruin that. He returned to his room, where he plopped down on his bed for a solid two-hour crash, hearing General Shepard vent about his weak joints and veteran issues. Phillip wished for death once again. He cursed the old fart's ancestors and every choice he had made in life. All he wanted was to be rich. Why did he have to endure all of this?
Later, Phillip found solace in his bed, relishing the peace after a day of being the sidekick in everything. He believed his soldiers weren't grown men; they were more like children in primary school fighting over toys and blabbering family secrets, all of which embarrassed him.
"I once saw the commander sleeping with a blanket he had since he was a baby," Martin claimed, earning a smack and an embarrassed glare from Phillip.
Phillip sighed, pulling out the blanket in question and wrapping himself in it like a cocoon. He sat down and inspected your file for the seventh time today (heaven forbid a man has a hobby). As he held the picture, it slipped from his grasp, and he noticed that Sky was in it too. Seriously, this man was everywhere. He might as well find him in the pattern of his boxers or in the posters of his old favorite bands.
Now, Phillip recognized most of the people in the picture: Colonel Farah, Alex, two soldiers making silly faces. Sky, with his arm draped over another guy, winking, and a female soldier he had only just noticed in the background, smiling. Who were these people? Who was the photographer? And why was this picture in the archive room?
Phillip sighed, feeling more lost than ever. He could hear your laughter through the thin wall, probably another funny story from Sky, who apparently resided in the next room.
Great.
Phillip let out another sigh, lazily lying on the floor, staring at the dark ceiling until he fell into a deep slumber.
His soft snores drowned out the faint cries that emanated from the neighboring room, disrupting the peace of the night.
