Synopsis: You were both hired to watched an old run down pizzeria, while Mike and you only had subtle interactions he still thought it count.

You were both hired about a week ago, you still haven't gotten used to your new sleep schedule but you did manage to get up. Only a few minutes late.
Surprised that you woke up early today, you had gotten ready eaten breakfast and drove off for work.
It was obvious you were going to be getting there earlier than Mike, so you decided to look around the pizzeria for some cleaning utilities. You did find them in a closet near the end of the hall.
You grabbed what you needed and got to work, starting in the bathrooms would be a bad idea so you decided to stroll near the front of the run down restaurant.
It took you about 10 minutes to move all of the furniture, stacking the children chairs in a corner and pick up the loose trash off of the dirty carpets.
You had music blasting and hadn't noticed Mike had entered through the double glass doors. He was nervously standing there not knowing what to do, he decided to tap on your shoulder.
That quite obviously scared the living shit out of you, whipping your body around and your shirt and vest hiked up your body a bit.
You had giggled lightly and picked up remaining trash beind you on the danty carpet, you heard Mike shift a little bit behind you. Weird...
"Scared the fuck out of me, Mike!" You laughed out
He rested his right hand behind the nape of his neck while awkwardly stuttering.
"Uhh, I-I'll just g-go to the, uhm.." Mike was clearly struggling
"Office?"
"Yeah, that.."
You told him that you wanted to stay out here and clean around the place because of how gross it was and how it was making your dust allergy kick in.
Mike just nodded in response and walked swiftly away to the shared office you both had, he was kind of relieved that you weren't watching cameras.
He would get the worst aching boner because of you. Mike would become so desperate that he would be clenching the armrests of his chair.
Besides that he was not as overwhelmed as much, that was good, he just sat there and watched the cameras. Checking on the animatronics and something else...
Job wise, you and him were good colleagues. You both have respect for each other and respect boundaries. But he wanted to cross the line, he wanted to see how far you could go without overdoing it.
Mike would have to shift himself in his pants everytime you would bend over to grab something. You broke something in him, he was getting needier the more you both came to work.
You had just finished cleaning the dining area and moved onto the stage where the main 3 were. Opening the curtains manually and shining your flashlight in to see what you were working with.
That didn't matter to Mike, what mattered was how you looked when you had the bottom half of your body hanging off the edge of the duty stage while the top was laying down trying to dust best as possible without stepping onto the stage.
That's when he broke, in that exact moment. 'What if- I could be quick, right, she won't know..' Mike told himself.
He focused onto the old beat up camera screen while palming himself through his jeans, he used the back of his other hand to muffle his deep groans that came out of him.
Mike was extremely focused on you, he unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants and boxers to the end of his thigh. Precum was dripping mini droplets from the slit on the top of his pretty red tip.
He slowly started to palm himself, making sure not to be to loud, Mike took his time and played with his slit and continued to lather precum on his whole length.
Mike ruffled his hair back while he picked his pace up a bit, he let his head hang back while he lolled his tongue out a little. (Futureman reference)
He nearly came when he saw that you had dropped something under a table and had to get on all fours to try and reach for it. Your ass sticking out from behind you.
Mike whimpered from the way you moved, you had taken your vest off and had a black tank top on that made your tits almost spill out when you walked.
He thrusted into his hand and started to moan a little but not to loud, as he was cautious so you wouldn't find out.
Mike's cock was twitching, that was telling him that he was getting closer to his release.
"Fuckkk, {Y/n}-" he groaned
Then the coil in him snapped apart, he came. There's was a lot rolling down his knuckles, his bare thighs, and some splatters got onto the camera screens.
His chest was heaving heavily, soft whispers of your name could be heard from his mouth. Mike reached for his tissues and cleaned himself along with whatever was hit.
Right after Mike threw the last of the mess away into the trash, you entered the room. Also breathing heavily, from the cleaning of course. He fixed his clothing and sat back down onto the chair, manspreading.
This man did wonders on you, but he was so oblivious that it was cute. But when he did that pose. Oh it went straight down to your core, making your walls flutter with excitement.
But you couldn't just take your bottom of right there and spread your legs open and start fingering yourself while playing with your-
You just couldn't, you didn't even know him like that. So you just had to wait, the last of the 4 hours of your shift. Tonight was going to be long..
You would both awkwardly stand there and not utter a word, you noticed that Mike had extremely heavy eyebags.
"Hey, if your tired, you could sleep..I could take over.." you uttered cautiously
His eyes lit up, he nodded a yes and moved to where you were sitting and switched spots. Throwing yourself onto the office chair.
Looking at the cameras seeing that nothing was wrong, you peered over your shoulder to see a beautiful man sleeping before you. I mean, you could?
"Fuck it.." you mumbled barely over a whisper
You didn't want to take all of your clothes off so you came up with a better plan.
While slipping your hand into your pants, teasing yourself through your panties. Glancing from the old cameras to Mike's sleeping body.
You used your hand to grip the armrest part of the chair, getting a bit frustrating. You slipped your delicate fingers past your panties.
Circling your clit and picking up your slick from your needy hole to lather over your throbbing clit. You let out a huff but quickly silenced yourself once you saw that Mike started to stir.
But that didn't mean you were stopping, putting more pressure onto your clit made you gasp. That wasn't even enough.
You picked your pace up and started to slip two fingers into your gaping hole, the silence was loud only to be interrupted by the slick noises of your throbbing cunt.
"Shiiiit- Mike-" you loudly whispered
You started to finger yourself faster and used your palm to rub your clit. This got you closer, making you let out little ah ah ah's every time you slipped in and out.
That's when you burst, your thighs were shaky and your cum was covering your panties and hand. You got up quietly and rushed to the bathroom to wash your hands. And you came back to continue your shift.
And soon it reached 6 AM, you gently woke Mike up.
"What is it?" He groggliy asked
He must've forgotten we were at work.. you thought
"Mike, our shift just ended, we can go home now." You told while putting your jacket on and gathering your belongings.
He mouthed an oh and got up to grab his stuff. You both got out of the pizzeria and Mike locked up, that was because you couldn't trust yourself with keys whatsoever.
You lived a few houses down from Mike which wasn't bad, if him needed anything he would probably come to you first.
Before Mike got into his car you called his name.
"Hey, uhh, do you want to come over for dinner tomorrow night? I was told that we don't have a shift until next week.." you shyly asked
"Uhm, yeah!"
"Oh, also, you can bring Abby!" You happily smiled at him before getting into your car.
And with that, you drove off back to your house. Heart beating rapidly from inviting your coworker over to your house for dinner.
You had no idea what to cook, but then it hit you. You've babysat Abby before, and you knew what food she liked the most. Spaghetti and pizza.
So you got to work, you obviously made the pizza a day before because making homemade pizza dough takes hours to rise. So you didn't want to rush anything.
After an hour or so, you had left the dough in a bowl with plastic wrap on the top to let it rise. And so with that, you went to take a nap.
You woke up around 4 PM, you kind of forgot what time to tell Mike to come over. So you called him.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
He finally answered and asked who this was.
"Hey, it's {Y/n} I forgot to tell you what time to come, for, you know, dinner.."
"Anyway, I was thinking 5:30?" You continued
His side of the line went a bit silent.
"Yeah, sounds great. Me and Abby will be there in awhile.." his raspy voice coughed out
You both said your goodbyes and you went straight to the kitchen. Having to make the spaghetti, doesn't seem hard. So you finished that within an hour and set the table as best you could.
You waited in the living room until you heard a knock on your door. Must be them! You thought.
You shuffled to put a jacket on while stumbling to the foyer. You fixed your hair a bit and opened the door.
"Heyy, come on in you guys!" You warmly smiled at Abby and Mike.
Abby rushed in and hugged you by your waist, you happily sighed and hugged her back. Mike just awkwardly stood there and waited.
You let Abby go and took Mike's hand to lead him through your house while Abby let herself in and excitedly explored.
Mike reminded her not to be as nosy at home and not to break anything. You giggled a little from the sibling interactions that they had.
Once all three of you got into your kitchen you showed them to the made dining table. You never saw Abby so happy, she sat down and beckoned for you and Mike to come over.
You both sat down and made plates, after about an hour. Abby was sitting on the living room floor while she watched TV. You and Mike were observing from afar.
"She's so cute, I wish I had my own kid.." you sighed
Out of the corner of your eye you saw Mike flush a tint of red on his cheeks, while scratching the nape of his neck.
Don't say it. Don't say it. He told himself.
"Well, what if...what if I gave you one?" He stuttered a bit but had some confidence in him.
Your eyes widened but soon turned into a soft smile.
"I would love that, Mike.." you said while resting your arms on his shoulders
"Oh!" His voice was above a whisper
You gave him a quick kiss on the lips and walked toward Abby. Leaving Mike all hot and bothered.
"Hey Abs, do you have school tomorrow?" You kindly asked while resting your hands on your knees.
She shook her head.
"I was thinking, what would you think of a sleep over at my house tonight?" You told her
She jumped up and hugged you while thanking you and asking where she would sleep.
You lead her to a guest room and let her choose a pillow and blanket to use, she smiled and got her bed ready.
"If you want, you can continue watching TV until 12 PM." You smiled
She thanked you again and ran off down stairs. Leaving you and Mike alone, you had brought him to your room.
"So, about that baby you were going to give me..." you inquired
He turned beet red, reenacting what he had said to you earlier. Mike's expression softened and he sat on the edge of your bed while holding your left hip and your cheek.
Mike nodded and pulled you into a kiss, it was sloppy but needy. He pulled you onto his lap and pulled on your hair so it made him look down at you.
You moaned into his mouth from the pressure, he smiled against your lips. Moving down to your neck leaving hickeys where he wanted them. Mike obviously made sure to lock your bedroom door before he sat down.
Mike tugged at the hem of your shirt, pulling it over you head showing that you hadn't worn any sort of bra, he whimpered at the sight of you bare.
Just for him, his good girl. And his only good girl.
Mike attached his wet lips to one of your plump breast. He sucked and gave it kitten licks. His actions as of now made your head roll back as you started to roll your hips on his clothed dick.
He bit lightly onto your harden nipple to see your reaction and oh did he get one. You pushed Mike's head further into your chest, unlocking something in him.
He sucked a little harder and thrusted his hips up to meet your low grinding. Groaning into your breasts sending sensational waves through you.
Mike could spend hours touching your tits, just squishing them or giving them little kisses is his go to when he's with you almost all the time.
As of right now, all he wanted to do was give you pleasure and so he did. Mike looked up at you through his half lidded eyes and licked a strip from the bottom to the top of your boobs.
Throwing your head back and babbling incoherent words under your breath.
"Mikey, please! I need it, right now! Please, I'll be a good girl!"
He loved the little nickname Mikey. It sends butterflies straight to his stomach, wanting- needing you.
That was it, he couldn't take it anymore. He struggled a little to get all of his clothing items off but he was soon bare and he ripped your shorts and panties along with one swift movement of his hands.
Mike loved how you were wet for him, making his cock's tip was already leaking with his pretty precum.
Giving himself a few strokes making him twitch in his own hand. Mike let go and positioned you so your head was on a pillow and put another pillow under your lower back.
"Alright baby, are you ready? It might hurt, its okay." Mike whispered beautiful nothings into your ear.
"Gonna start with the tip, okay darlin'?" Fuck, he was doing a number on you with his voice.
Mike swiped his cock head along your folds, making you huff out in sexual frustration.
"Deep breath in..." he muttered loud enough for you to understand before slowly rutting his tip into you.
The head was tugging on your cunt, his praise made your pussy to become slick with your juices.
"I'm gonna go slow, okay my love?" You only nodded in response and waited
It was abrupt, it stung but it felt so fucking good. Mike had only made it a little bit more than halfway before you started to nudge closer to him so he could bottom out.
"Aww, little whore wants more? I'll give you more you fucking slut-" he grunted while thrusting his hips into you entirely.
Arching your back off of the bed and nearly loosing your eyesight from rolling your eyes to the back of your head. Mike chuckled lightly while slowly rolling his hips, in and out of your sopping cunt.
"Thought you wanted it sweetheart?" He teased
He grabbed the back of your thighs and pushed them a little, getting the perfect view of how your needy pussy was taking him. Mike soon lifted your right leg onto his shoulder while the other planted into the mattress.
Mike picked his pace up a bit and started to feel a knot forming in his stomach, as he moved faster and faster until he couldn't move any faster. He grew bored of the position you were in so he gripped the back sides of both of your thighs and moved up and rested your knees on either side of your head.
Eye widening that you were capable of folding like that, not complaining. He continued to fuck his cock into your puffy cunt. You tightened your walls around him.
"Fuucckkk, this pussy is just milkin' me isn't it?" He grunted
You were close, it was obvious because you let little ah's out and your breathing became uneven. Your thighs were trembling a little.
"Gonna be a good girl and let me cum in you?" His grunts became his breath sharpening through his gritted teeth.
You nodded aggressively, giving him the go. It only took a few more pumps until you clenched around him, having your eyes roll back while whispering his name incoherently.
Mike came right after, filling your pretty pussy with his hot seed. He pulled out and saw how your cunt clenched around nothing and his cum spilling out.
He sighed and got up to the connected bathroom of your room and got a damp towel to clean you both up before he gathered a new pair of clothing and dressed you and himself.
Cuddling up, spooning you and letting out a satisfied sigh.
"Did s' good for me, princess.." he mumbled while nearly drifting off.
Rubbing small circles on your shoulder.
"I love you {Y/n}, I always have." Mike gave a quick kiss on your cheek before dozing off while warmly wrapping around you like a love letter.

Strictly Confidential: A Feysand AU
Chapter One
She's a law student turned confidential informant. He's a prosecutor with only one goal: bringing down her boyfriend for illegal activity . . . What could go wrong?
Hi everyone! Here's chapter one. I hope you enjoy. Let me know if you're interested in being tagged. Any thoughts on the story are much appreciated, too!
Chapter One
Feyre collapsed against the wall as soon as class was over. Sweat dripped from her temples, sliding over the layer of concealer she had plastered on that morning. She wiped her forehead, swearing to herself once again that this would be the last time she allowed Tamlin to drag her to a Crossfit class.
Even though she had made and broken that same mental promise to herself three times a week for the past six months.
As she guzzled from her near empty water bottle, Tamlin slung a sweaty arm over her shoulders, his skin against hers slick. Oily. “Got any of that left?” Tamlin asked, already reaching for the water bottle.
Feyre sighed, handing it off to him. “A few drops.”
He knocked it back without another word. Not an appreciative smile. No thank you, Feyre. Not even a nod of gratitude for the water he had taken from her.
As she followed Tamlin out of the warehouse where the Crossfit classes were held, Feyre made another vow. The first of its kind, but perhaps with more resolve behind it than the one she had made only moments ago.
She was going to break up with him this week.
Feyre trailed Tamlin through the parking lot, eyes on the back of his neck, his blonde hair stuck to it with sweat. Her boyfriend of over a year had fallen into conversation with his best friend, Lucien. Lucien was also a regular at these Crossfit classes, but had met Tamlin through work. Tamlin had hired Lucien as his Director of Operations at his company, Spring Solutions. Five years later, the duo were best friends.
Lucien climbed into the passenger seat of Tamlin’s expensive truck, leaving Feyre to haul herself into the back as usual. Tamlin swung into the driver’s seat and made short of work of getting the vehicle out of the parking lot and onto the highway that would carry them back into the city, back to the building where Tamlin and Feyre shared an apartment and Lucien lived a few floors down.
As the two discussed something about work—a topic Feyre didn’t particularly care about—she thought more about the terrifying new task she had set for herself.
Breaking up with Tamlin wouldn’t be simple.
Because it was her life, of course, and things were never simple.
She had shared an apartment with Tam, who was nearly seven years her senior, since the beginning of her second year of law school. Now, a month into her third and final year, their lives were fully intertwined. Feyre paid a few hundred dollars of rent each month, but Tamlin footed most of the bill. The downtown apartment was expensive, something Feyre could never afford on her own thanks to her law student’s budget.
She rarely paid for meals, either. Tamlin subscribed to one of those ultra-healthy meal services. A week’s worth of dinners delivered to their door every Monday morning. Feyre cooked them on study breaks, and the two would usually share a quick meal before Tamlin logged back on to work in his home office and Feyre returned to her books.
Most of the furniture was his, as was the art on the walls. The kitchen utensils, pots, pans. The bed they shared. Everything.
If Feyre moved out, she would have to return to her father’s house or increase the amount of student loans she had already taken out that semester. Neither option sounded appealing. She had lived with her father and her two older sisters her whole life—all throughout her undergraduate studies and until the end of her first year of law school. How she had made it so long trapped in that house, caring for her family in much the same way she cared for Tamlin, Feyre had no idea. So when Tamlin had proposed the idea of moving in together, she jumped at the chance. Didn't think farther than Get me out of my childhood home.
She hadn't considered what would happen if things didn’t work out. If she decided he wasn’t the one for her anymore.
She had gone straight from her father’s house to Tamlin’s apartment, and had fallen into Tamlin’s lifestyle, even if she still wasn’t quite used to it.
At least the bed in the guest room was hers, and the nightstand and the few books she had taken from her father’s house. Her painting supplies.
“Babe?” Tamlin’s voice scattered the plans she was fruitlessly trying to cobble together in her mind.
“What?” She inquired, blinking up at her boyfriend.
“I asked if you wanted to get dinner out tonight.”
Feyre bit her lip. She had already put off studying to come to Crossfit—if she didn’t get home soon, she would have to burn the midnight oil to get all her reading for class done at a decent hour.
“I really have to study,” she said quietly, praying he wouldn’t try to convince her to come to dinner. Because he would never let up and she, inevitably, would give in.
At Tamlin’s sigh, she tentatively tried again. “I’m really sorry! I wish my professors didn’t assign such long readings, but I can’t change it.”
He didn’t say anything.
“You know I would come to dinner if I could. I would much rather do that.” The words weren’t new—she’d used some variation of them numerous times over the past year and a half. They had almost lost all meaning to her, but she’d found this was the best combination to keep Tamlin happy: apologize, provide an excuse that was outside of her control, and assure him that he would always be her first choice.
“Alright. We’ll drop you at home and come back later.”
Feyre choked back her sigh of relief. “Sounds good. Thanks, babe.”
Lucien’s eyes met hers in the rearview mirror—one ginger eyebrow cocking slightly. Feyre looked away, gaze fixing on her lap.
Twenty minutes later, she waved at the car as it sped down the street toward Tamlin and Lucien’s favorite sports bar. With any luck, Lucien would get him drinking beers and talking about work, and she would have at least three hours to herself to shower. Study. Maybe even time enough to feign sleep by the time Tamlin returned.
And indeed, she managed to accomplish everything she needed to do just before Tamlin came stumbling into the apartment hours later. Feyre shut her eyes tight from her spot on the right side of the bed, her fledgling plans swirling through her thoughts until she well and truly drifted away.
-----
The next morning, Feyre gazed at herself in the mirror, turning this way and that to make sure every inch of her suit was clean and pressed to perfection, not a wrinkle in sight. The black jacket clung to her narrow frame, the pencil skirt she wore beneath it as flattering as a skirt that cut her off just below the knee could be. Her golden-brown hair fell in loose waves just past her shoulders, watery blue eyes popping thanks to the brown mascara she had applied.
“You look amazing,” a voice from behind her said.
Feyre turned, smiling at her boyfriend despite all the promises and plans she had made the night before. “Thanks, honey.”
“What’s the occasion?” Tamlin asked, striding forward and placing his hands on her hips.
Feyre stepped back, grinning up at him. “No touching. I have an important networking event with my firm today and I can’t get all wrinkly.”
Tamlin held up his hands, backing away a step. “My apologies, Ms. Archeron.”
Feyre smiled. Tamlin wasn’t always awful.
Just most of the time.
“So when can I expect you home today?”
Feyre sighed, grabbing her backpack and purse and brushing past Tamlin, striding out of the closet and into the master bathroom. “I’ve got a full day of classes, and then this networking event at six. I’m not sure how long it will go, but I’m really hoping to be back by eight.”
“Just as well,” Tamlin said. “I’ve got a late night at work—probably won’t be home until after ten.” Feyre nodded, and Tamlin followed her out of the bathroom, through the bedroom, and down the hall to the kitchen. Feyre grabbed the smoothie she had made earlier that morning and tucked her lunchbox into her backpack.
“Have a good day, honey,” she said, pressing a kiss to Tamlin’s lips. He nipped at her lower lip, green eyes sparking. But Feyre just smiled, retreated, and didn’t breathe deep until she made it to the hallway, door automatically locking behind her.
This week. She was going to do it this week.
Feyre’s day dragged on in one long, miserable slog. She got cold-called by her professors in two of her classes, but she managed to answer most of the questions correctly, her heart thudding violently in her chest all the while.
Cold calls and the Socratic method of teaching were one of her least favorite parts of law school. Most professors gave no warning to their students before they called their names, subjecting them to several questions of the professor’s choosing. If you didn’t know the answer, they might move on. But some waited for you to at least attempt to respond, while the class stared and stared and hands jumped into the air all around, telling you that they knew the answer, that it was obvious. Answering a question correctly felt wonderful—but answering incorrectly usually caused Feyre’s cheeks to burn a bright red.
It didn’t matter how many of the randomly determined “calls” Feyre endured—every time a professor spoke her name, her hands started sweating, her heart rate climbing up and up and up until the professor moved on to another victim.
She spent a few hours at the library after class, tucked in her favorite corner. It was private, but better than sitting in the main quad where most of the law students gathered to study during daytime hours. Feyre hadn’t spent any notable length of time in the quad since the first semester of her 1L year. As her relationship with Tamlin progressed, the few friends she had made faded away as Feyre opted to attend the fancy dinner parties and events Tamlin invited her to. Maintaining a new relationship and keeping up with her studies didn’t leave much time for anything else—not even friends. That wasn’t to mention the time she had spent at home with her sisters and father her entire first year of school, taking care of most of the housekeeping and cooking duties because the rest of her family had “real jobs” and Feyre was still “just a student” who didn’t work a regular 9-5.
Now, she felt like a ghost in the halls of the school. She would wave to her old friends if they passed in the hallways, but Feyre had long ago accepted that this would be her law school experience: sitting in the back of the classroom, answering questions if forced, and generally keeping to herself.
It was a quiet, small existence she led. Class. Tamlin. Attending whatever events or obligations Tamlin dragged her to. Studying.
After she’d had enough studying for the day, Feyre took the train to downtown Prythian, checking her makeup at least four times before the train arrived at its stop a few blocks from a large hotel and event center in the heart of the city. She started to walk the five minutes to the hotel, staring up at the enormous shiny buildings rising around her.
To think, this would be where she worked full-time in just a few short months.
Thanks to competitive firm recruiting, Feyre had had her post-grad job lined up since the summer. She would be starting as a junior associate at Hybern & Night LLP, one of the largest and most powerful national firms in the country. Jobs at Hybern & Night were hard to come by, but thanks to Feyre’s top 5% ranking at Prythian University Law School, and her ability to say all the right things under pressure, she’d scored a job during early interviewing last summer.
The firm occupied the upper floors of one of the tallest buildings downtown. Tonight it was holding a networking event for its partners, associates, recruits, and other lawyers in the community.
She could have skipped the event, but her career counselor had emphasized how important it was to immerse herself in firm activities as quickly as possible—it would make her transition from student to junior associate much smoother, and allow her to make connections with more senior attorneys and partners who might be willing to provide projects for her to work on when she started.
So, she was here, clicking down the shadowed streets of downtown Prythian, gearing herself up to rub elbows with some of the city's wealthiest attorneys.
Some day soon, she would be one of them.
Feyre tugged her coat closer around herself, the chill in the air signaling autumn’s impending arrival. A block away, the windows of the event center glowed warmly in the shadows of the buildings around her. She increased her pace, and soon found herself ensconced in a world of cocktails and arguments. Feyre made a beeline for the refreshments table. She could certainly count on attorneys to ensure there was an open bar at events like this. She seized a glass of red wine and cast her gaze around the room, but didn’t recognize anyone. She had interviewed with at least five of the attorneys from Hybern & Night in order to get her job, but they were nowhere to be seen.
Feyre thanked the man who served her the wine, swallowing back memories of her own time spent as a bartender at Humane, one of the filthiest hole-in-the-wall bars in all of Prythian. She would have preferred talking to the bartender—less posturing required—but forced herself to skirt around the room, looking around for someone to engage in conversation.
She had almost completed a full lap when an enormous man leaned against the wall just in front of her.
“You look lost,” his deep voice rumbled, light brown hair sliding over his forehead, pale green eyes gazing down at her. His cheeks were flushed—probably from the alcohol—and as his eyes slid over her, Feyre was glad she hadn’t yet removed her coat.
“Not lost. Just—” Feyre broke off, shaking her head. “Feyre Archeron,” she said, offering a hand. “I’ll be starting as a first-year associate at Hybern & Night next August.”
“Jax Smith,” he said, an enormous hand encompassing hers. “I'm in my eighth year at Hybern & Night. Hoping to make partner next year. It’s nice to meet you, Feyre.”
Feyre swallowed, taking her hand back and sliding it into her pocket. “You too.” She cast around for one of her pre-prepared questions: So how do you like working at the firm? Any advice for 3L students preparing to enter the workforce? How do you survive the eighty hour workweeks year after year after year? Is the money worth it?
Luckily, Feyre didn’t have to resort to any of her questions, because Jax spoke for her.
“You look awfully young to be a 3L,” he commented, gaze sliding up and down her body.
Feyre cocked an eyebrow, a chill trailing down her spine. “I’m twenty-three.”
“That’s young.”
Feyre gritted her teeth. This was certainly unprofessional. “Not too young, I hope,” she said, forcing a smile. This man was going to be her coworker. She couldn’t just turn around and flee. “I’ll be twenty-four this December,” she said brightly. “Practically collecting Social Security.”
Jax didn’t smile. Only narrowed his eyes like he was trying to see through her coat.
Feyre swallowed another gulp of wine, and as he inched closer, she realized that the alcove where they stood was mostly obscured by two of the many enormous columns ringing the event center. There weren’t any lights in this section, and no one else seemed to be paying them any attention. The rest of the networking attorneys seemed miles away, even the sounds of their voices muffled by a dull roaring that started in Feyre’s head as Jax’s gaze fixed her in place.
“And are you married, Feyre?” Jax asked, one arm resting on the wall next to her head. His gaze dropped to her left hand, wrapped around the stem of her wineglass, her fourth finger obviously bereft of any ring.
“No,” she said, backing away another step.
But her admission only seemed to encourage Jax. He slid forward, eyes focused somewhere just south of her neck, where her coat had fallen open to reveal the v-neck of her dress shirt. “I would be happy to meet you for a coffee sometime. Maybe even a drink. Tell you more about the firm, away from all these stuffy partners. We could even find somewhere quieter here. To talk.” His eyes slid to the hall that led who-knew-where, just behind Feyre, stretching off into the shadows of the hotel.
Feyre’s eyes widened, a lump forming in her throat. This man was her future coworker, her senior. He might even be partner by the time she started at the firm. To turn him down could be fatal. If he took offense, he could spin it any number of ways: She had no interest in learning more about the firm. Couldn’t care less about team-building and getting to know her coworkers. Clearly came for the wine and nothing else.
He could ruin her reputation. And that was something she couldn’t afford. Not if she ever wanted to be free of Tamlin, of her family.
“What do you say?” Jax asked, bending down, his face so close to hers she could feel his breath hot against her cheek.
“I—” Feyre started.
But another man’s voice, smooth as velvet and gentle as the night, floated into the alcove, startling Jax and sending a wave of relief over Feyre.
“There you are. I’ve been looking for you.”

IKEA Furniture Vs. Bakugo | K. Bakugo
feat. ~ time skip bakugo x reader
about ~ literally bakugo fighting for his life trying to put together IKEA furniture because most of us understand how painful it can be
content warning ~ pure fluff with swearing, any comments regarding IKEA furniture are what I've heard from my boyfriend LMFAO (he hates their furniture)
note ~ not completely proof read
Tumblr media
There are so many reasons why you love Bakugo Katsuki...
His strong-willed personality, his ability to act on things without a second thought to save the people of Japan, his rather strong bonded love with spicy food that he's been making you build a tolerance for, and even the fact that he activates his Quirk to show off how frustrated he is.
And that last reason is nearing very quickly...
Because he feels like he's facing his biggest battle yet - him versus IKEA fucking furniture. By all the living and dead Gods, he doesn't understand how a simple drawer, desk, and bedframe could quite literally test his patience. He's never heard of IKEA till he met you because your previous apartment was invested with their furniture. But what he did understand is how cheap it is compared to other stores/brands.
So, when you guys bought your first apartment together, he didn't care about where the furniture came from because it's just fucking furniture. That's all you hear from him for the past two hours is him muttering "it's just fucking furniture. why is it so hard??"
He genuinely could not put together a simple bedframe. Earlier he barely put the drawer and desk together but god fucking forbid this bed frame just had to be the one you picked to be his villain for the day.
You try to hold in your giggles as you watch him get pushed to the end of the rather annoying cliff of white wood that wouldn't screw together. "Babe," you smile as you bite your bottom lip to stop your laughs, "Let me-"
"Like hell, I'd let you help me, woman," he grumbled with both of his eyes twitching in growing anger. "How in the living hell did you put this together??"
"I had help from my dad and I hired the IKEA delivers guys to put together the bigger furniture," you smile as you sit next to him on the floor. You kissed his shoulder as you hear him grumble incoherent words that made your sweet laugh slip from your lips. "Suki, just take a break," you cooed to him.
"Fuck no,' he said straight out, "I'm getting this stupid shit done. Like I'd ever let some pieces of wood stop me from doing shit!"
You sighed with a smile hearing his excessive curse words - which is another reason why you love him.
Then another two hours have gone by and he has yet to come out of your shared bedroom with a finished bed frame. More than every-so-often, you'd hear an aggressive toss of the wood pieces being thrown god knows where or him cussing out the screw locks not fitting in the hole.
"Stupid piece of fake metal!"
"Stupid fucking fake wood!"
"Damn instructions not makin' any sense!"
"Fuckin' screw! Where the fuck did you go this time?!"
"Damn Swedes makin' shit harder than it needs to be"
You were in the kitchen putting a snack together for him to see if it'll calm him down but lo-and-behold you hear his iconic loud and ruling voice from down the hall.
"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF USELESS SCREW!! WHY WON'T YOU JUST GO IN??" he yells, threatening to shake off the pictures from the walls. "THIS STUPID ASS SWEDISH FURNITURE!!" he yells out again.
Then you hear it. His frustration explosion goes off in the house. You sigh with a smile because you genuinely think it's funny to get a reaction out of him from pieces of wood. You slowly walk over to the bedroom and see him laying on the floor like a starfish with the once less than half-done bed frame in smithereens.
Upon hearing your footsteps Bakugo beats you from saying anything, "Those Swedes were askin' for trouble," he mumbles.
You laugh and plop yourself on his stomach which he is quick to hold onto your thigh with his calloused and warm hands. "You're being dramatic," you giggle making him scowl at you, "Now we have to get-"
"Fuck no," he interrupts, "No, we are not getting another Swedish fucking furniture ever again. We'll just have to sleep only on the mattress for the rest of our lives."
"Noooo," you complain playfully, "Just hire the delivery guys to put it together."
"I'd rather do that shit all over again than let some random extras do it for me," he says back before letting out an overdramatic sigh, "Fucking fine. Let's go back for another one."
"Yay!" you cheer as he wraps his arms around you and effortlessly gets up from the ground with you tangled in his body.
"But that's it. We're not gonna get anythin' else," he says as he walks towards to front door, "And no fake plants either!"
You pout as you pull away slightly to look at his face. "Why," you drag out.
Bakugo steals a kiss from you and smiles softly as he looks at you. "Because they're not fucking real," he mumbles against your lips.
"Whatever," you pout, "But if I find another piece of furniture we're getting it."
"Over my dead body that I'd let fucking IKEA get the best of me again!"
I'm thinking of making this a series with other anime characters or just MHA men

I have to see my husband, show me Yuri. Please.
bbg i GOT chu husband incoming <33 i present to you my yuri magnum opus !!
"Mr. Maeda"
Tumblr media
(cws: gn pronouns, work meet cute, office romance, a bit of petty theft, work-inappropriate kisses, obsessive & overprotective behavior, yuri's a lil secret creep)
wc: 3.3k
Here it is. The starting point of the rest of your life. You worried it might be some big, huge corporate building that you'd sooner get lost in than find your way to the office written on your little sheet of paper, but it was small enough to fit its two-story self smack dab on the corner of the avenue. Easy to access, walkable from where you just moved…and still terrifying. This was the only place that would hire you and the first job you'd had that was actually in your field, so to screw this up would ruin years of potential prospects if you ever decided to move upwards and onwards. There was a whole lot riding on this, but all you could do was swallow those doubts and keep your chin up as you pushed through the door and took your first step into the future. 
Ting-ing. A bell chimed overhead to signal your arrival, all other noise from the street growing muffled as the door closed behind you. It was…elegant. Even for an interior decorating office, it seemed lavish. The floors were shiny with fresh wax and the furniture was all arranged so delicately you wouldn't even want to sit, the waiting room off to your left and a showroom to your right while a long hallway extended past the front desk on the far side of the wall. It was all decorated in deep red and white tones for the most part along with some other complementary hues, all save for the bored-looking young woman at the desk who wore a baby-blue top and torn jeans. If nothing else, at least the dress code seemed pleasantly loose. 
"H..." You squeaked out your greeting like a shy mouse as you approached her, her eyes stuck to the pages of a book that laid open by her keyboard. “..H-Hello.”
"Yuri's by appointment only, please book online."
Her instructions came out as bland and monotone as you could ever imagine, a business card with the URL slapped down on the upper counter of her desk to stare right back at you. She hadn't peeled her eyes away from her reading for even a second, but when she did, it was because you'd cleared your throat and mustered up the courage to say that you were actually here for the job. 
"Here for the–oh!" The mere sight of you had her flipping her novel shut and getting up from her seat, her hand stuck out to greet yours as a look of embarrassment overtook her features. "I'm so sorry, I thought you were–e-er, never mind. Welcome! I'm Angel." 
Despite her relatively gentle appearance, the squeeze of her hand was strong–you had little space to dwell on those minor details though, as she briskly skirted around her desk to wave you towards the hall. "I'll take you back to meet Yuri, right this way." 
Clack. Clack. Clack. It wasn't her flats but your polished shoes clicking loudly on the tile, echoing your nerves in the silence that was only peppered by the distant hum of computers and occasional chatter. You'd no idea exactly how many agents worked here, just that it was a small agency. Less people to impress, but more intense scrutiny if you happened to disappoint them with your skills….or lack thereof. God, please let your heart stop beating so loud. Angel reached for a door near the very end of the corridor and you took a deep breath, one that was probably noticeable since she reassured you with a look and a curt smile as it opened. 
"Yuri! Your protégé is here," Her grin grew wider as you balked at her introduction, she patted your shoulder in parting and slipped away as you forced yourself through the doorway and into the brightly-lit office crammed with desks. Chairs had been tucked in tight to allow more room to manoeuvre since it was oddly cramped, but that was mostly because nobody sat in them; your coworkers either leaned against the desks or by the huge bay windows letting in the midday sun, and each and every one of their heads turned to face you once you took a step into their domain. Not one of them commanded your attention like he did, though. 
"Oh, please, Angel. Try not to embarrass me, would you?" His voice, airy and smooth, reached you where you stood and nearly buckled your knees before you even got a glimpse of him. The assembly that loosely surrounded him made way for his lithe frame to step around the furniture and head towards you, smiles creeping across their faces and whispers exchanged between them–it almost distracted you long enough not to look up once he finally stood in front of you. 
Oh no.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Ah…" His eyes darted down from your feet to roam their way back up to your eyes in a single pass, so brief you might've thought it never even happened. "...A real pleasure, my sweet." Yuri's cool, soft hands clamped around yours in a gentle handshake, though he barely moved it and rather just held you there like he needed an excuse to stare longer. 
Oh, god. Your boss is too attractive to get anything done. 
"Y-You too, sir. I've really been looking forward to this." You tried not to stutter out your answer, though Yuri seemed endeared nonetheless and urged you to forget the honours, his grip just barely brushing you once more as he finally managed to drop your hand. 
"Let's…oh, what was I saying?" He blinked with an absent gaze, attention fixated on something over your shoulder before he came back down to earth. A quick glance in your peripheral betrayed nothing of note, aside from your own hair. But to think anything of that would be odd, and far be it from you to put your foot in your mouth in front of a boss that actually seemed to like you. "Oh! Right, right–why don't I show you around? We'll get you settled in a minute, but I'll give you a tour first." 
He extended an arm out elegantly towards the office, your new coworkers clamouring to get their introductions in to the fresh meat in their presence–yet in all the time he spent showing you around, Yuri didn't seem to take his eyes off you for more than a moment or two. 
Which was either a terrible omen of things to come, or a very, very good sign. 
Tumblr media
The first three days of a new job were usually the most difficult, but a week had passed now and you could swear the hard part just wasn't coming. Every task you'd been given had been a breeze, and with no real assignments yet since you were still in the learning phase, you were practically getting paid to sit around, experiment with your room designs in the decorator software, and chat with your coworkers in between group lunches and the occasional outing to visit potential clients. 
The man that had now established himself as your boss was nothing at all like what you expected. Sure, your expectations were certainly lower after your last job plummeted you into financial hell and mental anguish, but you expected the top agent of the city's biggest interior design conglomerate to be somewhat prudish, egotistical, and impossible to please.
But Yuri Maeda was nearly the complete opposite of that. He was by no means lackadaisical, and he did carry a certain air of class about him in the way he walked and talked, but he was not at all like other bosses you'd worked for before. He remembered your name when you walked in the door, and he welcomed you with open arms. He was kind to you and spoke gently of your mistakes, and no matter what, he'd never raised his voice or talked down to anyone about anything. 
And he was so, so easy on the eyes. His age showed in nothing but his white hair and even that was more of a fashion statement than anything else–you wouldn't assume a man that barely crested 30 would be so rife with grays under normal circumstances. He didn't even dress like a boss; he'd foregone a suit and tie in exchange for loose, flowing clothing, his shirt hung low to show off his pronounced collarbones while his pants hugged tight to his hips and accentuated those long legs that just kept on going. You'd once asked about his background, and the way his face lit up at the chance to talk about his infancy in Morocco and adolescence in Japan had been the highlight of your day, no doubt. You'd rarely seen such a professional and well-bred man talk so excitedly of his roots while brewing you some coffee and pulling out old photos of his home countries. It was an almost childlike interest, and it endeared him to you even more if that was even possible. 
Yuri had a strange habit, however. At first you thought you were getting hazed by the frequency with which your office supplies was going missing, but soon you started noticing that whatever item you had lost would magically appear in Yuri's hands. You'd caught him with your pencil behind his ear, your colourful paperclips attached to his files, once you could've sworn that someone had taken a sip from the drink you'd left on your desk, though there was no way for you to prove that was even the case. 
Whatever was going on with that, it took a backseat to the unbelievably good treatment you were getting at the office. You couldn't make yourself mess this up on purpose–you had to try as hard as you ever had to make this work and make it last. Where else were you going to get such a nice boss that called you cute nicknames and bought you lunch on a whim? 
But soon came the day that you'd been scheduled to help your first client. You'd been excited leading up to it, eagerly absorbing every ounce of advice that Yuri provided as you prepared to flex your skills.
When you came back to the office in tears, however, that dream had clearly been shattered. Angel at the front desk could barely catch you before you dashed into the bathroom to hide, and even when she followed you in to see what was the matter she herself couldn't believe her ears.
“They hated it,” You sniffled from within the stall, your feet pulled up to press your knees to your chest as if the echoes of your sobs off the walls wasn't enough to tell that you were there. 
“Hated what?”
“Everything! They hated the colours, and my d-designs, they said they were terrible–the worst they've ever seen! They made fun of me!” You sobbed, the events of the morning sending fresh pains into your heart as you heard your own voice repeating them. Angel heaved a sigh from the other side of the bathroom door.
“I'm getting Yuri. Hold on.” 
“No, please, I–I can't let him see me like this, I-” Despite your pleas, the sounds of Angel's shoes pattering away left you feeling defeated, and you slumped your head between your knees. The shame and embarrassment of having such confidence, only to have it ruined in one fell swoop, felt like too much to bear. You wanted to run and hide forever, dig a hole deep enough and jump in. 
You wanted to quit, but you couldn't bear it if Yuri fired you–and after several minutes, hearing a sudden barrage of shouting that sounded like his voice outside the bathroom, you had a feeling that was exactly what was coming. You knew it was too good to be true. Deep down Yuri desired perfection, and you were not that–not even close enough to have tried. 
Just when you started to consider slipping out of the bathroom and facing the music rather than stay inside and keep sobbing pathetically, the door creaked open. Taut footsteps hesitantly stepped inside, and by the soft breathing, you knew exactly who it was. He rapped gently on the stall door with his knuckles. It took you a moment to slide off the closed lid of the toilet seat, the lock jiggling loudly in the eerie quiet as you slowly opened the door.
At first glance, he looked flushed and out of sorts. His hair was mussed, and his breathing was uneven. He had his inhaler in the hand at his side, but whether he had taken a puff or not already, you couldn't tell. The silence, save for that, was painful. 
Unsure of what to say, you looked back at him as he did the same to you. Your eyes were puffy and your cheeks tearstained and still wet, while his chest heaved hard enough that the quiet was finally broken decidedly by a click, and then a deep inhale of breath as he pressed his inhaler to his mouth. 
“Mr. Maeda? Are you…okay?” 
“How many times…” He trailed off, only to cough slightly into his arm, and take another deep puff of his medicine. With that, his lungs finally seemed to clear, and he could take deeper, longer breaths while slipping the inhaler into his pocket. “...I told you, don't have to call me that.”
“You're my boss.”
“I'm also your friend.”
“...Am I fired?” Your question twisted itself out, because it was inevitable to come off your lips, but it was so soft and meek you felt shameful yourself just asking it. Yuri shook his head.
“No, no you're not–you’re not fired, sweetheart. You're invaluable to my team. You're not going anywhere.” He seemed convinced beyond belief, but you weren't quite there yet. Despite his earnestness, despite his friendliness and charm that was distinctly Yuri, you couldn't quite bring yourself to trust that you were really that special in his eyes.
“Th-They hated my designs,” You sniffled, and brought your fingers up to smudge the tears that ran fresh down your cheek. You couldn't yet bring yourself to meet his eyes. “All of them. They said they were worthless, Yuri. They didn't like them.”
“I know.” He shook his head again, a twinge of something fierce coming over his expression. “They were wrong. Just so you know, I told them so over the phone.” He looked a bit sheepish, quietly rubbing the back of his neck. So that must have been the yelling you heard…
“Wh-What? Yuri, they were part of a big account, their main client-” 
“Listen, sweetheart.” He leaned in suddenly, using his height to his advantage as he loomed over you. Not in a menacing way, but more…almost protective, in a sense. “They were worthless. Don't think about them anymore. They weren't worth your designs, nor your time.”
It shocked you to hear him speak so callously of a client, when he had always shown nothing but utmost professionalism in dealing with even the most snobbish of customers. It seemed like there was almost a shift inside him, like something had snapped to make him shout those people down over the phone, and now had him nearly cornering you in the stall as he got closer and closer to you. Only your wide, nervous eyes managed to snap him out of his trance, and at your trembling he stepped back and brushed some hair out of his face as he cleared his throat. 
“You…value my professional opinion, don't you?”
You nodded with little hesitation, yet a lump in your throat forced you to swallow. “Yes, of–of course, Yuri.” 
“Then believe me when I say that you are far better than you think. You're smart, and very talented, and…kind, and…very, very lovely. You're a treasure to work with. I…” Even though he trailed off, his true intentions glimmered in those clear, pale eyes. “...I want you to forget everything they said to you, everything that made you cry today. They are but a speck on your life–not worth the slightest mention.”
You opened your mouth to protest on instinct; why did you deserve to feel better about it at all? Surely you must've done something wrong. You can't imagine your meager skills being worth such praise. But something was telling you that this was far deeper than the surface level of work, and Yuri just about confirmed it as he cut you off before you could get down on yourself further. 
“Believe me,” He took your cheeks into his soft, sweet-smelling hands, and brushed a stray tear away with his thumb. The gesture, as gentle as it was, almost brought you to more tears with how touching it was. “People that behave in such an…uncouth way don't deserve your attention. They don't deserve your love. Your affection. Your…” 
Only then did you realize how close Yuri's lips had drifted to yours. Your mouths were nearly closing in on each other, and but for any resistance on your part he would make no move to stop what was happening. This was not in your job description. 
But would you really stop him from kissing you when that's all you had fantasized of until now? A small, shy smile slowly made its way across your lips, and Yuri's followed soon after as he smoothly leaned in to claim a warm, firm kiss, with a more eager introduction to his tongue than you anticipated. 
A moment passed, then another, and in what seemed like ages but at the same time only a second he broke it off, his expression aghast–perhaps at realizing what he'd just done. Probably realizing that it was a terrible, terrible mistake. You stood meekly and on the cusp of a panicked fit as he brought the back of his hand to his lips, but soon the warmth in his cheeks tipped you off to what was truly stirring in his heart. 
“That was…unprofessional. I didn't mean to-”
“I-It's okay, Yuri-”
“-Not in the bathroom, gods.” He seemed preoccupied, your words barely registering. He ran his fingers back through his soft, white strands of hair and took on a look of sheepish delight. “You deserve better than that. Come, let's–to my office, let's go.” He ushered you out of the stall, his grip firm on your wrist like he was too nervous to try and hold your hand. 
“Yuri?” You called out, but he seemed in a daze. His breath was catching on every inhale like he was drowning in excitement, yet he was holding himself together just barely in your presence. He wouldn't make much eye contact with you, but when you did spot that look in his eyes…it seemed like he was in the midst of a calm frenzy, his exterior composed but his mind and heart all stirred up, roused, jumbled into a mess of feelings that he was trying desperately not to get lost in. He tilted his body away from you too, as if trying not to let you see him front-facing as if he had something he was nervously hiding. 
“T-Take these,” He suddenly piped up, and thrusted a set of delicate keys into your palm while he turned completely away from you. It was all he could not to just hide his flushed face completely in his hands. “Go wait in my office, I'll–I just need a moment to compose myself. Please.” Yuri whined, and at his behest you agreed and stepped out of the bathroom to give him some privacy. Hearing the lock click behind you made you a bit nervous, but as you made your way out and down the hall you fiddled with the keys and thought about all that Yuri had said. 
…What a strange, alluring boss he was indeed. But even so, even now, you wouldn't know even half of what Yuri was really capable of, nor what he had been planning for you since the day you walked into the office and captured his heart in your soft, beautiful hands.

Reader is Cameron's housemaid. But rafe liked her little too much. So yeah get naughty with poor reader when no one's home. I'll be pretty nice setting if it's non con ;)
Another Mess to Clean Up
Rafe Cameron x f!Reader
Warnings: noncon, choking, smut, teasing, fingering, unprotected sex, blackmail
Tumblr media
You had been the Cameron’s housemaid for only a couple months, but you caught Rafe’s eye right away.
After all, how could you not catch his attention? Always bending over across the furniture, stretching to wipe down tables, and getting on your knees to scrub the floors? Yeah, he noticed you.
He would never admit it to anyone but he really wanted you, despite the fact that you were a Pogue. Even your hand me down clothes couldn’t hide your perfect figure, and Rafe was dying to see more of you.
He found that he would even go so far as to purposefully cause accidents, bumping a glass of water off the table, trekking mud through the front door, or just leave the pillows on the couch in a state of disarray, just to see you have to clean up his messes.
He always knew it would be a good day when you arrived wearing that short black skirt, paired with a tight black short sleeve t-shirt, your hair pulled back into a ponytail. Seeing you like that always had Rafe imagining pulling on you hair while hitting the back of your throat with his cock.
You, on the other hand, did your best to not attract attention from any of the Cameron’s. You knew your place, only wanting to do your job as best as you could and pick up your paychecks weekly. That was all you needed from them.
You were much too quiet for Rafe, and he had made several efforts to talk to you, but you always politely shut him down and quickly scurried off to clean another part of the house. It really pissed him off.
His family was the only thing keeping you afloat right now and you didn’t even have the decency to give him a ‘Hello’ or a smile most days? Rafe knew that money had been tight for your family recently, he had heard you talking on the phone about it one of the times that he had eavesdropped on you while you were on the job.
You should be grateful that you had this job, and that he was paying attention to you at all. Your refusal to acknowledge his presence felt like a slap in his face, and he found there was a growing pit of anger in his chest every time he was near you.
You had noticed this shift in him, the way his blue eyes always seemed to bore into yours, but you didn’t know what changed.
You knew that Rafe Cameron did drugs, like a lot of drugs. You had stumbled upon some of them on your second day of the job.
You were cleaning the bedrooms that day, and had gone through Wheezie’s and Sarah’s, planning to do Rafe’s and then Ward’s.
You were vacuuming and cleaning the floor of his bedroom when you noticed something peaking out from underneath his bed. Puzzled, you turned the vacuum off and bent down to pick up the small baggie, only to realize it was filled with a fine white powder. You gingerly placed it back where you had found it, not wanting to cause any trouble on the second day of your job.
You looked around the room, and then continued to vacuum the floor, leaving the baggie unscathed where you found it. You never brought it up.
You wondered if maybe he knew that you knew? Or maybe he was just getting high off of something new that gave him a staring problem? But the look in his eyes the last week had been more intense than usual. He seemed to be around the house more often as well, and he had began trying to make small talk with you again anytime the two of you were alone.
It had started innocent enough, just questions about other jobs you had had, but that quickly gave way to him interjecting increasingly suggestive comments about why Ward had hired a “Pogue like you,” and implying you must have given him a sexual favor.
His cruel taunting made your cheeks burn in shame and you didn’t really know why you defended yourself against someone who obviously didn’t give a shit about you, but you didn’t like him saying those things about you.
You tried to brush him off and ignore him but to your frustration, that only seemed to make him more persistent. The thrilled look he would get in his eye when he knew he was making you nervous and pushing your boundaries made you shiver.
He wasn’t afraid to get into your personal space, one time even cornering you at the top of the stairs and moving his face so close to yours, you could feel his hot breath tickling your lips. He stared into your eyes, looking for something in you that you couldn’t identify, before flatly telling you there was something to clean up downstairs, no doubt a mess he made on purpose. He allowed you to brush past him, smirking behind your back while he watched your ass as you stomped down the stairs.
You swallowed your anger and continued to go to the Cameron’s everyday. You still needed to pay the bills somehow, but you began trying to avoid Rafe at all costs on the job, asking to switch your schedule to work at times the family would be away from home.
To your relief, Ward didn’t question your excuse that it would be easier to clean the house when no one was home, despite the fact that their house was so laughably large that was not a problem you had ever had.
It was the first day that you had the Cameron house to yourself. You had made good progress so far, already finished with the kitchen, dining room, and living room. You climbed the spiral staircase at the front to the second level, carrying your supplies with you.
You stepped into Rafe’s room, setting your things down on the floor. You walked to his bed, and you were leaned over, straightening the sheets and adjusting the covers when a hand met your back, roughly pushing you onto the bed. Your hips met the mattress and you felt Rafe’s hips roll against your ass, his hard length poking at your ass as he bent you over.
You yelped in shock and squirmed against him, heart pounding in fear. Rafe chuckled at your feeble attempts as you struggled against him to no avail.
“Rafe, what are y-”
“Relax, Y/N,” Rafe purred in your ear. “It’s just me.”
His words did nothing to calm you, and the fear clutching your heart only grew as you felt his hands wandering up your waist.
“Cut it out Rafe! Let me go!” You tried to slap at him, forced to stop when he grabbed your wrists in one hand, pinning them against the bed and painfully twisting your arm in the process.
Tears sprung to your eyes and you trembled against the bed, horrified by the situation you found yourself trapped in.
“Get the fuck off of me Rafe!” You snapped at him and you could tell by his disappointed sigh that he was rolling his eyes at you. Why was he acting like you were in the wrong right now? Like you were hurting him?
“It would really be a shame if I told my dad about the watch you stole from me.” You could feel his hot breath on your neck, his hips pressing harder against your ass. His threat rang in your ears, you couldn’t believe this was actually happening.
“I-I didn’t-” you shook your head, letting out a shaky gasp as his hand started to slide under your shirt, fingers trailing a path of flame across your skin. Your thoughts raced, but you couldn’t grab hold of any one for long, too distracted by Rafe’s hands gliding across the bare skin of your back.
“Come on, Y/N. Who do you think Ward would believe if I told him our Pogue housemaid had a habit of pocketing watches and jewelry?” Rafe’s raspy voice made your stomach drop and you knew he was right. “He might even want to press charges.”
“Rafe, s-stop-” you weakly protested as his hand creeped up your stomach, his fingers ghosting over the lacy band of your bra. You struggled against him, and Rafe chuckled before pulling you flush to him, grinding his hips against your ass, fingertips digging into the soft flesh of your chest as you arched in an attempt to get away from him.
He pushed the skimpy material of your bra up, cupping you underneath your shirt, and you let out a whine at the feeling of his fingers tweaking your sensitive nipples. His lips found your neck, kissing and sucking at the tender skin, trying to do anything to get a reaction out of you.
Rafe pulled back long enough to spin you to face him, slowly pushing you back and climbing on top of you, lips smothering yours with a feverish want. You pushed against his chest but your strength was nothing compared to his.
His fingers found the bottom of your shirt, easily pulling it off over your head and throwing it to the floor. One hand snaked around your throat, applying pressure as you watched his eyes scan over your exposed body.
“Fuck Y/N. You’re perfect,” he was breathless, pupils blown wide, tongue flitting out between his lips as he drank you in.
Rafe leaned into you, lips smothering your protests, thumb stroking your jaw in a manner that would have been sweet, maybe even romantic under different circumstances but the tenderness from him only made you want to be sick. You tried to move your head away from him, but his grip on your chin was inescapable.
You could do nothing as he shifted on top of you, parting your legs with his own and grinding against your core. A low hum raised in the back of your throat, spilling out when you felt Rafe’s hands trail down your inner thigh between your legs.
His fingertips lightly ghosted over your panties, tracing along the seam of the lacy underwear. Rafe pushed the material to the side and you gasped when you felt him slowly push a finger into you. His eyes were still locked on yours, groaning lowly at the sight of your flushed cheeks and fearful eyes.
You bucked your hips when you felt him add a second finger which he slowly pushed into your heat and curled inside you. Your whole body tensed at his intrusion and you let out a whine when you felt his other hand move from your throat to press flat against your stomach, holding you in place as he fucked you slowly with his fingers. His thumb found your clit, tracing circles against the tender flesh in rhythm with the fingers he moved inside you.
“You’re so tight around my fingers, fuck,” Rafe hissed, his eyes were flitting back and forth between where his fingers were disappearing into you and your eyes. “Don’t know how I held off of this for so long. I could’ve been fucking you every time you’re here. Can’t believe you deprived me of that.”
Already growing impatient, and the feeling of his throbbing cock becoming too much for him, Rafe pulled his fingers out of you, leaving you momentarily stunned. Your head was spinning, the shock of everything was too much to process.
You heard Rafe’s shorts and shirt hit the ground, and when you looked up at him wide-eyed, he was almost naked, a starved look in his eyes as he stroked his cock over his boxers. He pushed them down and you tried desperately to crawl off the bed, but he shoved you back down under him, fingers locking around your wrists as he kissed at your neck. You struggled against him, making him laugh in amusement.
“You really thought you could get away from me, hmm?” His mocking voice turned your stomach and you could do nothing but watch in horror as he lined himself up with your entrance before pushing into you, his cock painfully stretching your walls.
You cried out, tears stinging your eyes as Rafe bottomed out and a shaky moan fell past his lips. He drew closer to you, chest pressing yours, his face burying into your neck as he tried to push himself as deep into you as possible.
“Do you have any idea how good you feel?” Rafe’s hot breath tickled your neck and your own breathing sped up as your felt his hips begin to snap against yours faster.
You cried out when you felt his fingers find your clit again, stroking the flame of desire in the pit of your stomach against your will. His lips attached to your neck, sloppily trailing to your collarbone, biting and nipping at your soft skin with a crazed fervor.
You could do nothing but grab onto his arms to steady yourself as best as possible when he sped up again, pounding into you so hard you felt like you would split in half.
Rafe was in awe of how tight you clung to him, enraptured by your cries as he fucked you deeper. You were so wet, thighs growing sticky as you clung to his cock, squeezing him. Tears slid down your cheeks, and Rafe brought a hand to your face to tenderly brush them away, an intimate act that felt disgustingly out of place.
“You look so pretty when you cry,” Rafe mumbled, covering your lips with his own, his bed rocking as his hips snapped roughly against yours.
Your fingernails dug into his forearms as you felt your release fast approaching. He knew you were close, tauntingly pushing his cock into you faster, harder, and his finger pressed harder against your clit.
You shut your eyes as the pressure inside you finally boiled over, entire body tingling as you came with a strangled moan.
Rafe was soon to follow, grinding into you a couple more times before he groaned and stilled, you could feel his warm seed spilling into you.
He was panting hard, catching his breath and pressing hot kisses to your lips in between breaths.
“Feel so good,” he mumbled, before rolling you on top of him, lining himself up and pushing you down onto his cock torturously slow. “I’m never letting you go.”

Okay I have stumbled upon the two people living together trope but they are not in a romantic relationship but there is TENSION! And I read one with Zevlor and now I thirst for more!!!
Zevlor would be the perfect housemate to fall in love with. And I know for a fact he would keep that place so clean ❤️
Aww I can picture it!
Tav has a place in the gate and the open hand is overfull, so he overs to leave the temple and make room for more people. And tav happens to be there when he does.
"Oh I've got a little extra space. You can stay with me! "
Tav ignores the way he blusters about not wanting to be a burden. They drag him along to the less showy parts of town where the unlock an apadoor before elbowing it open
"Sorry it's a little sticky and I haven't had a chance to fix it."
The apartment is no more than four separate space, the wood floor damaged from furniture being dragged about. Shabby but warm, he looked around to see wads of paper crammed into cracks in the walls. The fireplace grubby from constant use. The loving room is its kitchen, off to the side is a small room with a washing tub and toilet. Oh good they have plumbing. Another door leads to a sparce room with a near nude bed. Off to the other side was a very small space like an office. Inside the space was a thin sofa with a guest. A very large brown cat sunning in the spaces window.
"One rule here, we do what mama tells us to!"
Tav thumbs over to the cat who looks at them for a moment.
The following day, tav almost tumbled into the place, they looked at the door confused. Zevlor fixed it.
Zevlor stands by the fireplace dusting off his hands on a rag.
" I wasn't able to find work yet, so I thought I'd do a few repairs."
"Oh wow, did you clean the fireplace??"
"Yes it should work much better now."
"You mean I can cook in there again?!"
"I hope it's helpful."
The following day, tav comes home happy as a lark when the door opens without a shove. When they look zevlor is sitting on a polished floor in front if the rumbling fireplace, looking a bit miffed.
"No luck today either huh?"
"Afraid not. I will not be a burden-"
"Don't worry about it besides I got us something!"
Tav raises a market bag of grocery and a new pot.
Another day and winter is beginning to creep in slowly. Zevlor searches all over town, so many people are still rebuilding and can't afford to hire new people. All the same he goes about doing whatever odd jobs he can find before coming back and fixing up something in the apartment. Today, however, when he comes home, he finds a box on his little sofa bed.
When he opens it up, it's new boots and a scarf. He can't help the big smile as he trues them on, especially please with the scarf. A silly thing he doesn't need at all, but a sweet gift.
A little more passes, and zev finds himself again sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace with tav laughing about nothing really. They sit a little closer these days, while soup bubbles in the fireplace. He blinks in surprise when he feels tav lay their head on his shoulder.

#23.5: AM I CLOSE TO REDEMPTION? .
"tickled fingertips, goosebump skin, wandering eyes, shallow breaths, all in anticipation to be completely consumed by you." -Chrissie Pinney
.
“Grogu?” You called out while peering around furniture. When the boy wanted to keep out of sight he was very good at doing so. “Grogu, where are you?” It was nearing bed time which made sense why he would hide. Lately, he’d been wanting to stay up later and later. Usually though it would only take you repeating yourself once for him to come out of hiding. You stopped in place and set your hands on your hips. “Grogu, baby, I’m being serious now. I need you to come out.”
Seconds later, you watched Grogu squirm out from under the couch with a frown. You blinked in surprise. ‘How did he even fit⏤ nevermind.’ He waddled over to you slowly, dragging out the motion, and you knelt down. “Ma…”
“What’s going on?” You didn’t hesitate to scoop him up into your arms. 
“Don’t wanna.”
“Don’t wanna what?” You asked. Grogu mumbled under his breath a mix of Basic, Mando’a, and gibberish. You walked toward the bathroom, bouncing him lightly, and Din glanced up from where he was working on reattaching a new door to the broken frame.
Din was dressed in his sleep clothes and his helmet’s visor focused on the two of you, “Everything alright?”
“I think so.” You reassured him. “Someone just doesn’t want to go to bed.”
“Listen to Ma, ad’ika.” Din hummed distractedly while shifting his attention back to the door frame.
Grogu was too big for the sink, but he wasn’t quite big enough to shower on his own yet. Din had bought an attachment for the sink that could be filled with water and used as a little tub. Bath time ended up being one of your favorite times with Grogu just because he had so much fun playing in the water. You had even bought him toys and bubbles. 
You set Grogu down on the ground so you could get his bath set up, “Get undressed, baby.” When you got the water to a comfortable temperature, you glanced down to see Grogu was shifting in place. “Grogu?” Something definitely seemed wrong now. You carefully picked him up to stand on the counter. “What’s going on?”
Grogu squirmed uncomfortably and eyed the water skeptically. You reached out to hold his hand, but he must have assumed you were going to get him undressed for the bath. He burst into tears making your eyes widen in alarm and he lunged forward. Quickly, you opened your arms and caught him. He clung to you desperately and sobbed in your shoulder.
“Grogu, I need you to talk to me.” You rubbed his back. 
Din was immediately at your side. One hand settled on your lower back while the other reached out to set his hand on Grogu as well. “Me’bana?”
“No, no. No bath.” Grogu shook his head frantically.
You glanced up at Din, worried, and then back to the boy, “Why not? I thought you liked bath time.”
“No more water. Bad.”
“Since when is he scared of water?” You asked Din in a soft whisper.
“Uh,” Din shifted in his stance and cleared his throat, “Good question.”
“Bad. Water hurt buir.” Grogu whimpered.
Your eyes widened, but Din ran his hand lovingly over the back of Grogu’s head. He threaded through his hair with a reassuring hum, “Ad’ika, that would never happen to you. You’re always safe here.”
“What happened? What is he talking about, Din?” You demanded. Din stiffened and remained silent. You tilted your head and narrowed your eyes in a glare. “Din?”
He cleared his throat, again, “During our trip to Mandalore, there was an incident… I may have, er, fallen into the Living Waters…” Your jaw popped open. “With my gear on.”
“You nearly drowned and never told me??”
“...In my defense, I did tell you that I nearly died three times in one day.”
“No.” You shook your head. “You didn’t. Bo Katan did.”
“Nuance?”
You began to speak but forced yourself to stop. With a glare, you lifted your hand to point at him. “This conversation is not over. You hear me?” Din quickly bobbed his head up and down sheepishly. You returned your attention to Grogu and rubbed his back again. “Buir is right though, baby. You are safe here.” You shifted so Grogu was forced to peel his face away from the crook of your shoulder. He rubbed his watery eyes and you offered him a soft, reassuring smile. “I would never let anything happen to you.”
Grogu sniffled. “Ma promise?”
“Ma promises.” You leaned forward and brushed your nose against his back and forth until he giggled. You could feel your own features brighten at the sound and and snuggled him closer to your chest so you could tickle his sides. Din chuckled from beside you. “How about this? Let’s jump straight to the bubbles today. Yeah?”
Grogu bounced in your arms happily. “Bubbles. Bubbles. Bubbles.”
The little boy’s fears had been qualmed enough for you to get him into the bath’s warm water and you filled it with as many bubbles as possible. Enough that it billowed up and nearly swallowed the giddy boy whole. Din had paused on fixing the door to wrap his arms around you and rest his chin on your shoulder. The cold beskar pressed to the side of you face was comforting⏤ you associated it with Din’s presence and care. 
“So?” Din murmured softly. You could hear the curl of his lips in his voice. “How much trouble am I in, ner kar’ta?”
“Oh, a lot, mister.” You replied and scooped up a handful of bubbles to rest on top of Grogu’s damp hair. “So, so much trouble.” Grogu clapped his hands to make the bubbles surrounding him float up. You turned and pressed a kiss to the temple of his helmet. “Like you wouldn’t believe.”
Din chuckled and his hand lifted to reach the lid of his helmet. “I’d rather your lips on my skin.”
“I bet you would.” You turned your head to look back at Grogu. “Shame you’re in trouble.”
You heard the deep rumble of his laugh, felt it against your back where his chest was pressed, and a small smile lifted the corner of your lips. You unhooked the drain, but left Grogu in because you knew he liked playing with the water as it spun down. Din shifted so his head hid behind yours and you heard a quiet hiss before you felt his lips press softly to your neck. You still felt the chill of beskar as well so he probably only lifted it up enough to kiss you.
“Can I show you how sorry I am?” Din mumbled against your skin.
“Trying to seek redemption, Djarin?” You teased.
Din tugged on the back of your shirt to reveal more skin to kiss. You tried to ignore his innocent kisses and filled the cup with warm water to rinse off the remaining suds on Grogu’s skin. Din’s teeth brushed against your skin and you jumped just enough to make Din chuckle. 
“Make yourself useful and get me Grogu’s towel.” You chimed. Din squeezed your waist before tugging his helmet down and wandering away. When he stepped out of the bathroom you shook your head at Grogu. “Your buir is trouble, you know that?” He giggled and you ran your hand through his damp hair to make it stand up on end. “Must be where you get it from.”
“Ma like trouble.” Grogu replied.
“I suppose I do.” You bopped his nose with the tip of your finger making him scrunch up his face with a snicker. Din returned with the fluffy, gray hooded towel you had bought him at market and you took it from him. “Thanks, honey.”
You wrapped Grogu up in the towel and began to dry him off. Din put his chin back on your shoulder, “I like that.”
“Like what?” You asked absentmindedly while carefully pulling Grogu’s ears through the holes you had cut in the hood for them. Grogu beamed up at you while bundled up in his towel. “Hm?”
“When you call me that.” Din answered and you could hear the slight embarrassment in his tone.
You pulled Grogu into your arms and turned to smirk at him. “What? Honey?” Din just tilted his head at you. “Who would’ve thought such a simple pet name would make the big, strong Mandalorian weak?”
“Everything you do makes me weak.” Din chimed. He leaned over to press his forehead against yours. After a beat, Grogu began to whine and hold his hands up. Din was grinning, you could hear it in his voice, and he leaned down, “Sorry, ad’ika. I didn’t mean to leave you out.” Din set his head against Grogu and when the boy was satisfied with the love he pushed Din back and lifted his arms up to you. You chuckled and leaned down to press your own forehead against Grogu’s. “Hey, no more stalling. It’s bedtime.”
Grogu blew a raspberry at his words and Din’s hands fell to his hips. You reached out to lightly rap your knuckles against the side of his helmet. “Don’t you have a door to fix, honey?”
Din shook his head while you slipped out of the bathroom to head to Din’s bedroom. You scrounged up Grogu’s pajamas and helped the boy into them. By the time you got him dressed for bed, he was already beginning to yawn and his eyelids began to droop. You set him in his hammock but lingered to murmur a soft lullaby while petting the boy’s soft hair and dragging your finger down the bridge of his nose. When Grogu’s eyes finally drifted close you nestled his stuffed frog closer to his body and tucked him in. Carefully, you pressed your lips to his forehead before sneaking out of the room. 
The second the bedroom door was shut, Din was on you. He wrapped his arm around your waist pulling you close and dragging you further back from the bedroom. “Eyes, ner kar’ta.” Unable to hold the shock, fear, and irritation that came with the mental image of him drowning, you closed your eyes at his command. Din yanked off his helmet, you heard the sound of it lightly hitting the floor, and then Din was pushing you backwards until you felt your back bump into the wall. You squeezed your eyes closed tighter to resist the urge to look at him as you felt his form surround you entirely. You tilted your chin up, and your lips involuntarily parted in anticipation. Din chuckled. “Good girl.”
The words sent a sharp thrill through you and you let out a soft gasp that was muffled by his lips latching onto yours. Din was everywhere and everything. His hot tongue explored your mouth while his hands roamed your body. They brushed down your neck, across your collarbones, down your sides⏤ Din didn’t let any part of you go untouched. Then his lips followed the path of his hands. You missed the taste of him, but the way he left open mouth kisses along your jaw and down to your neck made you moan.
“Am I close to redemption?” Din asked in a husky voice.
“Getting there, honey.” You repeated the nickname you knew he liked and Din groaned before kissing back up your neck and sucking your earlobe between his teeth. It seemed like Din was making up for lost time when it came to using his mouth, and you were growing obsessed with his obsession of constantly keeping his lips against your skin. 
Din returned his lips to yours for a moment more before pulling back. “We need to go to bed.”
You jutted your lip out in a pout. “Last I checked, we didn't have bedtimes.”
“No, but we have to be up early.” Din replied and you heard the excitement seep into his voice. “Peli will be here before the shop opens to pick up Grogu and then we can leave for our first courting session.”
You reached out to set your hands on his chest and slowly dragged them up to his neck and then carefully cupped his face. Hearing how eager he sounded for your date made your heart swell. Your fingers dragged through scruff that covered his jawline and you pulled him closer to set a soft kiss against his lip. Din seemed to melt in your touch and he let out a sigh through his nose⏤ his hand coming up to cup the back of your head. When you finally broke apart, you grinned in excitement yourself. “Tomorrow is gonna be so great. I can’t wait.” 
Din moved and a moment later that same cool beskar kissed your forehead. You let your eyes slowly open and you were greeted by the sight of your reflection in his dark visor. You let your finger trail against the edge of where the metal met glass. The thought of what tomorrow could bring made your heart flutter in your chest and for the thousandth time since Din returned with Grogu, you thanked your lucky stars that this was your life.

masterlist for my human au atwow headcanons!!
(mostly for reference when I'm writing so there's some pretty specific things; might update it ocasionally)
Jake
slight dad bod
either in classical home depot dad attire or using the clothes from his 20s there's no in between
looks great with stubble and goes days without shaving but never to the point of growing a full beard (says it makes him look old)
used to have a "show me your boobs if you hate racism" shirt but Neytiri made him get rid of it when she got pregnant
uses the same beat-up running shoes from when he was a teen for any occasion
a sucker for bands from his teens to this day. will die loyal to the late 90s bc he's a young soul (Neytiri says he's just a manchild)
lets his hair grow out after the navy and it makes him look so much younger. Neytiri is actually spooked at how much he looks like he traveled back in time to his teens
used to pick up Spider to go to school when his dad wouldnt take him
never reads the instructions on how to assemble the ikea furniture but somehow gets it done perfectly every single time
cried when he found out about Kiri's first time bc his little girl was growing up too fast for him to keep up
big Queen enthusiast and raised his kids knowing every lyric to every song. if he's listening to bohemian rhapsody on the living room speakers you BET every single one of the Sullys will belt out the mama part no matter how far away they are located
likes to play rough with the kids like he did with Tommy when they were small and they all love it but he doesn't do it as much ever since Tuk hit her head on the ceiling when she was 5
used one of Neytiri's organic face masks once only to discover he's allergic to nuts. one trip to the ER later and now they are forbidden to enter the house
insists on driving the whole way on road trips even though Neytiri insists on switching
swears like a sailor and has to hold himself near Tuk because she's a big copycat and Neytiri wants her to be innocent for a little longer unlike her other children
emotionally stunted to the point where he really wants to express his feelings but it just doesn't come out bc he was never taught how to properly do so when he was young. his love language is more based on actions rather than words because of that
too hardheaded to wear sunscreen, always goes home from the beach looking like a shrimp
don't talk to him before his morning coffee
Neytiri
absolutely despised Jake's accent and taught him out of it once he moved to Pandora (pretend it's a country and not a planet) just bc she was so annoyed whenever he talked
forced every single one of the kids (and Jake) to download life360 ever since Tuk got lost in the mall and they found her hiding inside a mannequin's skirt three hours later
her love language is physical affection, always hugging and kissing and patting her children's heads even if they complain
very liberal about subjects that would embarrass other parents; she was raised without shame and is very comfortable with human nature. whenever the kids need to confide something like first periods, first times and emotional stuff like they always go to her first
Mo'at is black and Eytukan was traditional na'vi; her dark skin tone is her mother's but she inherited her father's hair so it's naturally straight like in the movies. Neteyam's hair is like hers but Lo'ak and Tuk's are like their grandma's
cleans the entire house whenever she needs to calm herself
hc her working as an elementary teacher, inspired by her own experience with Grace and how well she did; she wishes she could be a good influence for young children as her own teacher was
really loud inside her own home, yells a lot even when she's not mad, she's just a naturally loud speaker

Neteyam
Starboy is his favorite album of all time (sidewalks is his and Lo'ak's ultimate comfort song bc it has kendrick in it)
has asthma but even so he's really good at most sports as long as he doesn't overdo it
kind of a fuckboy but not in a player way. he just doesn't have the time for anything serious so he blows off some steam once in a while but doesn't commit. he makes his intentions clear for everyone involved tho
very clean and needs to take at least 2 showers everyday or else he feels icky
no gag reflex (really cool party tricks except when he actually chokes on something)
got his belly button pierced so that he could match his mother's own. also let Kiri pierce his septum after she pierced her nose (it got infected oops)
loves dancing and knew basically all the choreos in dance central by heart. is too shy to go off in public though unless his siblings dance with him or he's drunk
shoe crazy. has so many pairs and treats them all so well, doesn't let anyone borrow them and if you step on one of those you might just as well jump off a bridge. you're dead mate
made fun of his mom for playing candy crush once but ended up downloading it and liking the game more than she did (still plays it to this day unironically)

sagittarius
contact lenses for reading but has a pair of glasses he uses sometimes when at home
when Ao'nung flirted with him at first he would scoff and act annoyed but started to miss it when he stopped doing it because he asked to
never actively came out to his parents. they just used their sixth sense and decided he was gay one day when he was a boy and once he grew up and didn't correct them they just went w it

Neytiri's face with Jake's body
really ticklish
Kiri
on the spectrum
nonbinary but doesn't really care about how she passes, pronouns and stuff like that. mostly just does her thing whenever and however she feels like it

natural ginger but dyes her hair black bc she doesn't like standing out from her siblings too much (being white is already enough)

had her first epileptic episode when watching Lo'ak play geometry dash on the family tablet; the game has since been banned from the house to her brothers dismay
cuts her hair herself
paints all over her walls
has mild emetophobia so she doesn't drink or go on roller coasters bc she's scared she'll throw up; gags whenever she hears the sound of gagging
pierced the side of her nose and gave herself 2 stick and poke tattoos when she was 15; Neytiri was furious she didn't ask her to do it instead
loathes the feeling of Jake's stubble due to her sensory issues but still makes an effort when it's hugging/kissing time bc she knows he likes it and doesn't want him to feel bad and shave it
freckles and moles all over her body
has more body hair than most girls but refuses to shave and sometimes paints her arm hair just to see people's baffled reactions
bites down on things and people randomly out of nowhere and no one knows why, not even herself (her favorite target is Tuk's head)

VERY sensitive to smells. steers far away from Lo'ak whenever he hasn't showered in a bit or starts sweating
doodles on every single thing in her possession. the whole bathroom mirror is full of drawings and even if someone cleans it they just come back
not shy at all, just an introvert. most people actually think she's very pleasant and knows how to carry a good conversation (she simply chooses not to)
aquarius
had the nasty habit of putting her finger inside people's mouths when they yawned; stopped doing that after Neytiri bit her once
Lo'ak

lactose intolerant but loves cheesy things (always forgets his lactase tablets and has to go running to the bathroom whenever he eats out)
managed adhd and anger issues
aries (surprise surprise)
considers himself bi but would rather DIE than actually enter a romantic relationship with a man
used to make gagging sounds at Kiri just to see her suffer whenever she pissed him off when they were kids. stopped after she actually threw up one day and his mom yelled at him
real life definition of light skin stare; caramel skin, blue eyes like his daddy, jaw and cheekbones to kill for and full lips. constantly doing The Face™ just to see Tuk laugh
acts tough but is kind of a pussy and gets scared really easily when it comes to horror movies, roller coasters and stuff like that
has a big brownish burn mark on his hip from when he tried to make french fries and dropped a pan of hot oil; tells people he just has vitiligo like his brother but for some reason they don't believe him (doesn't know that vitiligo only comes in white and his siblings don't tell him bc its funny seeing him embarrass himself)
sleeps with his mouth open and drools an ocean every night, constantly has to wash the pillow cover
whenever his mom has an appointment at the beauty salon he goes with her just to see Tsireya working. secretly likes it when she has free time and practices on his nails but would rather be caught dead than say it out loud
calls his sister a racist whenever she says anything against him and watches her get flustered and splutter like its the funniest thing in the world (it indeed is)
pierced one ear but passed out when Neytiri went to pierce the other bc he has no pain tolerance whatsoever
doesn't stink per se, he's always got some cologne and body spray on and has good hygiene; the thing is he sweats really easily and has a naturally strong body odor so he doesn't smell all the time, but when he does its really strong
in love with Tsireya's stomach rolls
Jake's face with Neytiri's body
Tuktirey
despite common belief she is definitely NOT an ipad kid. this child runs around jumping anywhere every chance she gets; very physically active and can't stand still playing with one thing for too long
has absolutely no shame at all. runs around butt-naked and uses the toilet with her siblings still in the bathroom all the time, simply couldn't give less of a fuck (it's a Neytiri trait but she will never admit it)
watches coryxkenshin with Neteyam every chance they get and both enjoy it equally bc he's funny as hell and family friendly at that
has a gap on her front teeth she uses to squirt choco milk out of (Lo'ak thinks it's the funniest shit he's ever seen but Neteyam always yells at her when she does it)
loves touching her dad's stubble and loves it when he gives her kisses because it tickles
taller than most kids her age (Neytiri hopes she grows even more before her first period so that she doesn't stop growing and end up a sixth-grade sized teen)
crackhead gemini
knows more than the grown ups think she does but acts innocent and clueless to create awkward moments because she likes seeing them squirm (menace)
has a really slow brain to mouth filter, always says the rudest and most awkward things even when she doesn't mean to, ends up embarrassing people really easily
loves feeling useful, you could ask her to paint the fence with water and she would do it if she thought it was helping you
really easy to please; plays with girl and boy toys, uses boy and girl clothes, could be satisfied both by going to the movies or playing on a puddle of mud
took a while to speak and her first word was "dumb" after seeing Neteyam walk into a glass door
annoys her siblings until they let her tag along to their teenage adventures; thankfully most of their friends like her
covers for the teens when they need but it always comes with a cost (makes them buy candy and robux for her)
kind of kid to crawl inside public bathroom stalls through under the door (Neytiri and Kiri can't let go of her hand anymore when they go)
Tonowari
Maori king
built like a refrigerator, works out but somehow still manages to have a beer belly
even tho he's always busy at work he finds time to do house chores, not just because he wants to ease Ronal's burden but also bc he actually likes acting like a housewife (it relaxes him)
meanest man to ever exist behind a grill. doesn't matter if he shouldnt or cant, he WILL grill every single thing in his line of sight
fishing dad!! takes the kids on fishing trips monthly and they love it. has a picture of him with a fish about his size from when he was twelve and cherishes it to this day
was a really cool guy in his teens, a total chick magnet and competed in surfing. his childhood acquaintances say how much Ao'nung reminds of him back then all the time and he's so proud of it
passed out in the room seeing Ao being born. thought he was prepared when it was Tsireya's turn but Ronal passed out so he did too
inhumane alcohol tolerance; usually when they have a cookout he drinks the whole day without even realizing and everybody wonders if he's secretly an alcoholic but no. he's just built different
the other women in the neighborhood are soooo jealous of Ronal because he's the best husband ever
didn't actually plan on becoming mayor; the people actually asked him to do so because he's so likable and such a natural leader it was such a great fit
has really full eyebrows he also passed on to his kids. Ronal tries tweezing them but he doesn't let her
socks with sandals
does woodwork as a hobby, creates some beautiful traditional stuff and actually built most of the furniture in the house. currently making a big swing for when the baby is a bit older (Ao and Reya are jealous)
the house they currently live in is a house built long ago that is passed down to the respective mayors. it was already a really nice house but he made sure to renovate all of it himself bc he's a handy dad
built a small pool house in the backyard under the excuse that the teens needed a spot to hang out when they have friends over. he secretly meant for it to be Rotxo's space for when he needed some alone time. he let it decorate it the way he liked and it's more of a guest house nowadays bc his nephew managed to turn the thing into an actual livable place
accidentally one-ups all the dads in town without noticing ("oh your son started swimming? thats really nice, Ao'nung started at three years old! :D)
Ronal
was a family doctor but decided to quit once she got pregnant to focus on her family. is now the headmaster of Awa'atlu's local high school and the students are terrified of her (she loves it)
wine mom
also an ingredient mom
people think she's so much younger than Tonowari but she's actually the oldest one (she's past her fifties don't tell anyone)
has a big wooden box of every gift and letter the kids have given her throughout the years
gossiping is one of her favorite pastimes but she's not fake about it. she'll talk shit ab you for sure AND will do it to your face too but will also give you advice if you ask her for it
skincare queen!! full of oils and lotions to prevent stretch marks when she's pregnant, always smells divine because of it
knits whenever she's stressed out. usually does rugs and blankets though since Awa'atlu is so damn warm no one would be insane enough to put on a sweater
made a handmade individual album for every one of the kids from their birth to now
has mad steel guts; could see a plane crash and burn right in front of her and wouldn't even flinch, which is good for emergencies but also freaks people out (understandably). her excuse is that being a doctor and raising three children does that
made sure all of her births were natural just to prove she was strong enough to do so even though no one ever doubted her
Roa (pretend shes a bulldog) was a pregnancy gift from Rotxo's dad (who was also her twin). she didn't like it that much bc shes not really big on animals but when he died she warmed up to her because she reminded her of her brother. now they even sleep in the same bed and nobody is allowed to discipline Roa but her because she "doesn't want any of them treating her badly"
strict open door and visible hands policies when people come over
treats Rotxo as if he was her own son and will murder anyone that dares say otherwise
she was pregnant once before Ao'nung but had a miscarriage due to stress; it was one of the main reasons she quit her job, she didn't want to risk that happening again and feeling that amount of pain once more
wasnt really big on the idea of tattoos when she was younger and didn't want to do any even if it was part of the Metkayina culture. changed her mind instantly when she saw Tonowari's first tattoo and how great it looked on him
always know when the kids are up to no good and think they're slick (side eyes Tsireya whenever her and Lo'ak are under a blanket together and never lets Ao and Neteyam sleep in the same room)
is harder on Ao'nung rather than her other children not because he's the eldest but because she sees so much of her teen self in him. she doesn't want him to lose his best years by isolating himself due to being so judgemental like she was
does most of her chores with Tsireya and really appreciates how much she takes after her father - she always offers help right away and does everything with a smile on her face even if she doesn't know how to do it and she really admires her daughter for it
Ao'nung
looks great with facial hair but doesn't grow a beard bc his mom doesn't let him (it reminds her of how old she's getting so she makes him shave it off). once he's finally able to rock a light goatee without her interfering she swoons at how handsome her big baby looks
used to be a chubby kid but after puberty and several growth spurts along with swimming he's in pretty good shape for his age. also works out with his dad sometimes
could wash his hair with only dish soap and it would still be naturally majestic. only uses plain shampoo and conditioner (it revolts everyone in the house)
tallest in the friend group and keeps putting things out of people's reach because he's kind of a dick
got a matching traditional Metkayina tattoo with Rotxo as soon as he turned eighteen (Ronal let the younger one do it even though he wasn't of age just because she thought it was so cute)
really squirmish unlike his mother and will pass out immediately at the sight of blood
doesn't listen to music all that much, so his taste is mostly Rotxo's and Tsireya's songs
the only reason they got a pool built in the first place was because of him. develops chronic depression whenever he's dry for too long (Ronal says his father used to be just like him and compares him to a little fish)
snacks on the most diabolical things ever (raw pasta with peanut butter and such delicacies) because hes too lazy to cook a proper meal just for himself
talks big talk but actually can't fight for his life 💀 the attitude makes up for it at least
best swimmer Awa'atlu High has seen ever since his dad
plays the guitar and had a band with Rotxo and Reya just for shits and giggles. they were actually pretty good
laughs at people presenting in front of the class (when its his turn he tells them to shut up)
although he's really known at school due to his abilities and parents most of the kids don't like him because of his resting bitch face syndrome, they think he's stuck-up when he's actually just chilling
leo
snores like a truck
kind of mf to turn to you in class with the most devilish grin when the teacher is scolding you just so you laugh and get scolded even more
asked Rotxo to share a room with him because he didn't want to be lonely
Rotxo
goes surfing to Three Brothers Rocks at least once a month to smoke with Ao
baby blue and aqua green braces
younger than Ao'nung but is one year ahead so he's in his grade
pisces
very insecure ab his looks because he's smaller than others his age and has braces and acne scars. truth is he's a cutie pie and once he hits his last stop in puberty train he's going to be a chick magnet
his hair routine is insanely detailed. puts a lot of effort into it and it shows. absolutely beautiful curls
naturally smart; doesn't make as much of an effort as Neteyam or Tsireya but still has above average grades
sometimes people look at him and just laugh because he zones out so often it looks like there are absolutely no thoughts behind those big ol green eyes
even though he's smart, the subjects only make sense in his own head, so he is a terrible teacher
will be talking to you looking like a cutie patootie while listening to the most explicit horniest whorish songs on planet earth on his earphones. AND he knows all the lyrics too
asked Tonowari for a huge aquarium in the living room, takes care of the little fishies religiously and knows how to differentiate all of them, also gave them all names
certified munch
pretty shy but once he gets to know you says the most out of pocket things ever because he hardly has any filter. so unintentionally funny
drops a beat out of nowhere and gets everyone cronk about it because its actually pretty good (Lo'ak starts freestyling on it but they all shut him down real quick)
makes bracelets and necklaces for the people he loves
the type of person to start telling a story and have a laughing fit in the middle of it so no one actually understands it by the end
an absolute beast on the drums. actually the only way he found to healthily manage his anger so whenever he plays he goes all out to the point it's just scary (or hot but that's for you to decide)
Tsireya
slightly chubby and has wide hips and big thighs like her mother; used to be insecure about it but started not minding as much as she got older.
very healthy, loves salad and fruit and natural juices and smoothies and all of the things most teens hate
loves pink. its her favorite color of all time and she has dyed some streaks of her hair when she was younger (didn't look great but she loved it regardless bc it was pink!!)
started working in a beauty salon and trained her nail painting skills on everyone for a month. nobody complained bc she's actually really talented and they came out great everytime
big sza beyonce and doja cat gal. ocasionally listens to kim petras bc she's pretty and bc she thinks some of her songs are funny
loves sweet things for breakfast
takes a lot after her mother in her mannerisms but looks just like her father and is a total daddy's girl
carries a huge 2-liter hydroflask with a dangling bell keychain with her everywhere she goes and it annoys the shit out of everyone. doesn't care bc shes unbothered hydrated and flourishing
always wearing lip gloss
watches courteezy religiously and thinks she's the funniest
has a pet hamster named Shuu The Third; the other two didn't manage to escape Tonowari's grasp (he sat on them)
has an entire desk in her room just for doing her makeup. it's a very natural aesthetic, never looks exaggerated but it takes a lot of care nevertheless
in love with Lo'ak's smile. thinks he's the most handsome boy alive
very girly girl and takes a lot of pride in it, people usually thinks she's dumb or superficial bc of her looks but she's full of personality and really smart; actually just likes the process of putting effort into her appearance
has HELLISH periods. her parents were actually scared she was developing a personality disorder after puberty because her pms turns her into a straight up bitch (turns out she just had endometriosis and was in excruciating pain most of the time)
has the voice of an angel and would sing on her brothers band just because she liked seeing them have fun with something other than swimming and surfing

Chapter 7 ~ the ride ~
The sedan that pulls into your driveway is a relic from the past: oversized, not fuel efficient, all long lines and sharp angles, noisy engine and abundant exhaust.
You lift the chrome handle, the passenger side door swinging wide to grant you access. The seats are low, deep, a sinking descent that has you leaning to grasp the inside handgrip and tug the door closed. It’s a heavy sound, like a metal jaw closing; like a trap sealing shut.
“Thanks for giving me a ride.”
“I don’t mind.” Steve Raglan grins around the lollipop in his mouth, the white stick tucking into one dimpled corner. The career counselor had offered to pick you up after school, claiming he was on his way to the pizzeria anyway. He’s still dressed in his office attire: a long sleeved windowpane patterned dress shirt, dark tie and matching trousers. You don’t know what to make of your new boss; you’ve barely spoken to him since he’d hired you four months ago.
This afternoon was going to be your first day of orientation, the renovation and construction phase of the restaurant completed. You wonder again about the fate of the yellow rabbit, who, despite his promise, has been nowhere near the premises each time you’d passed by, trying to sneak a peek here and there until the site was firmly off limits. Perhaps he did not enjoy the remodeling process. You cannot imagine his existence outside the costume; cannot fathom why he insists upon wearing it, lurking in that strange abandoned building, a ghost of a memory haunting what remains.
There’s some dated song that sounds like it’s from the eighties playing softly on the radio that the driver hums along with as he reverses the car, some melody with a lot of guitar and synthesizers that you don’t recognize. You fold your hands in your lap and stare at the scenery as you depart your neighborhood, wondering where the man might live; if his house is as dated looking as his office furniture and clothing and car. You wonder if he lives alone. You don’t see a wedding ring on his finger, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not married.
“You look nervous,” he observes when you reach your first stoplight, glancing over at you. His tongue is stained red from the candy, curling around the crimson orb before he drags it through his lips. You realize you’re staring and you hurriedly look away, but not before you see him smirk. “First day jitters are common. You should try to relax. You’re not going to be doing anything too strenuous today.”
You nod, keeping silent. The engine revs as the light changes to green and the sharp, fast turn makes you lose your balance and lean towards the older man, your shoulder pressing against his upper arm. You reach out to brace yourself, one hand closing over his thigh, trying to push yourself back into place. His head turns, tucking down towards his shoulder, eyes shifting from the road to look at you. The soft smile is back, his pale eyes darkening.
And then he refocuses on the road and you manage to find your way upright and back into your own seat, the moment passed.
The parking lot is empty when you arrive at Freddy’s. Raglan crunches through the last of the candy embedded on the stick and tucks it back into the wrapper with an almost mournful sounding sigh. He shuts the engine off and you feel his eyes on you.
“You ready?”
You swallow and nod, thinking you’re very much not ready at all.
***
“Wow.”
The owner hadn’t been kidding when he’d said the place was being completely renovated; it looked amazing. The retro look is still very much present, but every surface from the flooring to the tables to the curtained stage is spotlessly clean, the colors vibrant, the textures of tile and wood and carpet restored. Neon lights brighten every wall. Rows of arcade and pinball machines are powered to life, the prize counter fully stocked. The skylights above offer a gentle spill of natural light that must be stunning on evenings when the sky is clear and full of stars.
“You like it?”
You glance over to find Raglan leaning back against the front of the elevated stage, his arms braced on either side. You nod, watching as he makes his way over to one of the prize machines, digging into his pocket for quarters. The coins slot into the receptacle and the handle turns, depositing a gumball into his waiting palm.
“Want one?”
You shake your head, watching the purple globe disappear inside his mouth.
“Why isn’t anyone else here?”
“They’re coming later. You’ll be joining them, watching the orientation video and filling out paperwork. Tedious, necessary tasks. But you’ve got a lot of things to learn, hence you getting some one on one time.” A pale lavender bubble emerges, parting his lips before he snaps it and it retracts back into the recesses of his mouth. Your eyes shift to the velvet curtains, and he notices. “You want to see them?”
Without waiting for a reply he moves to the wall beside the stage, his palm slamming on the comically large red button.
The lighting set in the fixtures above change from stationary white to a rotating display of flashing colors that stretch into bands across the room. The curtains slide back and you have your first glimpse of the main trio of animatronics, the rabbit and chicken bracketing the bear leader. There’s no music loaded yet, but they move as if performing anyway. You watch the pantomime of guitar strumming and crooning into the microphone as Steve ascends the first couple of narrow steps leading to the platform, offering you a hand to help you join him onstage.
The luminaires splash a full rainbow spectrum of color over the pair of you and the robotic animal mascots moving in front of you. You walk around slowly to view them from all angles. There’s wonder in your eyes as you admire the figures; something more obsessive in the older man’s.
“Let’s get started.”
Chapter 8 ~ employees only ~
“If you’ll follow me right this way.”
Steve pushes on one of the Employees Only doors, holding it open for you. You hesitate. There’s something about this that’s familiar, but it’s difficult to discern. Everything is blanketed in fog each time you reach for it, your mind denying you access.
“Is there a problem?”
“No, I…” One foot in front of the other. You’ve reached the threshold. He’d only opened half of the pair of doors. You see the narrow window of the closed partner. An eye, watching you. You feel like you’re being swallowed down when you enter the dimly lit corridor beyond. There is no color here. Everything is gray, raw. Coarse cement and abrasive bricks. The rough draft of a canvas, sketched in and waiting to be finished. The end of the hall divides into two more. It’s a maze you’d get lost in.
Had you been here before? Had you somehow escaped?
Raglan steps away from the door and it seals shut. He’s so tall beside you. You look up and he looks down. Watching. Waiting.
“Follow me,” he says, the rasp echoing as he abruptly begins striding down the hall, Oxfords striking the concrete. You hurry to keep up. You don’t want to be alone back here.
***
The service room is enormous, a vast space filled with steel shelves and workstations. Computers occupy desks and neatly organized tools hang on the walls. A different version of this area flashes in your mind. You’ve seen it before: cluttered and dirty, full of broken equipment and something sharp and dangerous. You hadn’t been alone. You’d been led here.
The owner speaks and the thoughts dissipate, lost to the hidden recesses once again. “This is the heart of Freddy’s. Everything out there is only possible because of what happens in here.” Steve switches on a desk lamp and thumbs the lock of one of the filing cabinets, lifting out a massive binder and setting it on the surface of one of the desks, gesturing for you to come closer. You can faintly detect a hint of grape from the gum he’s still chewing. “You’re going to need to do a lot of studying. Memorizing. Learn every detail.” He flips the cover open and then gathers a handful of the pages within, letting them fan apart until he releases them and they randomly settle. You recognize a diagram of an endoskeleton, the featured arm component meticulously detailed.
“Are you sure I’m the right person for the job? It seems like you’d be better off with someone who actually has a background in this.”
“I’ll teach you. They’re my creations, after all.” He reaches up to remove his glasses. The neat sweep of graying hair has finally succumbed and descended, several strands falling over his forehead. He’d loosened his tie somewhere between the dining area and the service room, exposing the hollow at the base of his throat and teasing the beginnings of some sort of scars. He sees you looking; you think nothing will ever escape this man’s notice. “I saw the way you looked at them. You understand. You are exactly the right person for this job.”
Chapter 9 ~ orientation ~
The new hires filter into the restaurant throughout the rest of the afternoon and early evening, gradually restoring life to the previously unoccupied space. There are tours and actual VHS videos to watch on an older model tv that Steve insists on using, so lodged in that sense of nostalgia, such an odd contrast with the thirst for the newest technology for the animatronics.
You recognize a fair number of the employees as students from your school: people you’ve never spoken to, people who likely don’t know your name and have never bothered to spare you a second glance.
Your new boss does nothing but give you second glances. And third and fourth and beyond. He’s always watching you. He’s doing it right now, seated near the wheeled tv stand, one long leg folded, ankle resting on the opposite knee. You feel dissected beneath his gaze. You can’t determine what exactly his fascination is. You’ve never felt pretty nor interesting, but he looks at you like you’re some brand new discovery. Earlier in the service room he’d been nothing but professional, diluting some of your misgivings. He’d answered your questions and encouraged you to bring some of the materials home to peruse further. You’d handled some of the primary components for one hand joint, let him guide your own real phalanges to slot the pieces together, alloys and cables delicately weaved, the correct pattern slowly realized. And yet, that uneasy feeling had remained. There was still something off about him, as kind and patient and affable as he seemed.
The crowd disperses after the video is finished and you’re alone with Raglan again. The view of the stars through the skylights is every bit as impressive as you’d predicted. You trail after him, watching as he puts everything away, gathering the recently signed orientation packets and tucking them inside a filing cabinet in the manager’s office. He hits a few switches and the main lighting dims, the security system activated. He turns the key to lock the front doors and pauses, the rabbit’s foot keychain swinging gently where it dangles from its ring, looking over at you standing there, the binder he’s leant you clutched tightly to your chest.
Of course he offers you a ride home. Of course you accept.
Chapter 10 ~ the first lesson ~
You settle back inside Steve Raglan’s car, shivering. It’s still that period between late winter and early spring and the nights get cold.
“The heat will be up soon.” He turns the dials so the blower directs the air flow over your upper and lower body. You nod gratefully, the binder now tucked safely on the back seat, next to the white tshirt with the red Freddy Fazbear logo on the left chest that will be your uniform. He’s said any type of black pants are fine to wear. You’ll have to rummage through your drawers and see what you have.
The bearded man makes no move to leave the parking lot, the car now paused at the exit. “Are you hungry, by any chance?” You haven’t eaten since lunch at school. Your stomach growls, churning at the idea of sustenance and Steve chuckles softly. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
“I didn’t bring any money with me.”
“Don’t worry about it. My treat. Payment for your extra time today, if you’re feeling that guilty about it.” He waves away your frown and the engine rumbles as he pulls away from the pizzeria. “We’ll be getting supplies for the kitchen in the coming weeks and they’ll be options available on site. Until then…oh, here we go.” You feel the sudden heat wafting over you as the temperature elevates and the car distributes it accordingly.
“You don’t have to give me a ride next time.”
He glances at you. “Oh? Is there a problem? You’d prefer walking? This time of night?”
You backpedal quickly. “No. I don’t mean to seem ungrateful Mr. Raglan, I just don’t feel like it’s fair to make you escort me back and forth. That’s not your responsibility. I’ll be buying a car soon.”
“Steve, please. At the very least when we’re alone like this. I can’t abide the formality of the other title. So what’s wrong? You don’t like the indebted feeling? Or…?”
“That, and…I’m not used to it.”
“Not used to what?”
“The attention. The conversation. I don’t…I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s awkward.”
“You don’t need to say anything to try to impress me. You’ve already been hired.”
You fumble for an explanation. “It’s not that. It’s…I’m so bad at this.” You pluck at a loose thread emerging from the seam of your jacket.
“I disagree. Still, I leave it at your discretion. Accept a ride or don’t.”
The roads become well lit again as you reach the other side of town. Steve pulls into the driveway of a popular fast food franchise, halting along the row of parking spots before actually getting into the line for the drive thru, glancing over at you. He still hasn’t replaced his glasses. You wonder what he needs them for, if seemingly not to drive or perform tasks close up like when you’d been in the workshop. So odd. “What do you want?”
“Oh, um…a cheeseburger, fries, a Coke. Just a medium is fine.”
“Sounds good.”
He eases the car into the line, duplicating your order when he reaches the speaker set before the brightly illuminated menu, the only alteration being a request for a chocolate milkshake instead of soda.
“You have such a sweet tooth,” you murmur as he advances to the window for payment.
He grins at you. “Terrible, isn’t it? Don’t get old, you’re not going to like it. Your body develops strange cravings.” Steve hands over a credit card and then passes the paper bag of food over to you, slotting the two beverages into the cupholder and then finds a spot to park near the rear of the lot lined with trees and hedges.
The older man takes back the bag, dividing up the contents between you. You unwrap your burger while your boss takes a bite of a French fry and sighs contentedly. “Yesss, they’re fresh.”
The burger is too, the heat permeating the wrapper that perches on your thigh, warming the denim clad skin beneath it. You take a bite, chewing and staring as the evening breeze shifts a low hanging branch of the tree in front of the vehicle, the shadows moving across the dashboard.
“Do you do a lot of cooking? At the restaurant or at home or does someone else…” You don’t know why you’re trying so hard to fill the silence.
“I’m not home much, so no. I live alone. There is no ‘someone else.’” The straw parts his lips and he tests the flavor of the shake, sighing again, apparently satisfied. “You can ask me anything you want, you know. You don’t need to be cagey about it.”
“I’m not…” Your voice trails off. “So you’re not married?”
“Not anymore.” Another French fry disappears. He licks the salt from his fingertips. “I wonder if you’d do me the same courtesy and answer some questions. An even trade for each that I respond to. Does that sound fair?”
Your heart quickens. Suddenly the car seems too warm.
“Can you…can you turn down the heat?”
He switches the engine off and cracks his window open. You inhale deeply, grateful for the fresh air.
“You still haven’t accepted my terms.”
“I…I guess it’s fair.” You take another hurried bite of your sandwich and wash it down with a sip of cola.
“Have you ever had a boyfriend?”
“No.”
He nods. “Gone out on a date, anything?”
“Never.”
“Have you ever been kissed?”
Your hand freezes mid rummage through the box of French fries. “That’s three questions. I only asked you two.”
He smirks, cracking the lid of the milkshake to remove the straw, using it to spoon more of the chilled dairy treat on his tongue. “Clever. So ask me something else and then answer mine.”
“What are the scars from?”
“How did you…ah. Open shirt collar.” The pizzeria owner shoves the straw back inside the cup, still clutched by the lid settled loosely on top. He unbuttons the cuff of his right sleeve, folding it up neatly until it’s tucked by his elbow.
More scars tattoo his skin, lines and circles, dots and dashes, they begin at the wrist, marking front and back, his arm swiveling slowly to display them. There seems to be no end to them, but it’s impossible to tell as the shirt hides the rest of him.
“What happened?”
“That’s another answer you owe me. They’re from the springlocks. They’re what separates someone from the dangerous parts inside of the mascot suits.”
“They failed.”
“Yes. I’ll be generous and count that last one as more of a statement than a question. Now answer mine.”
You force yourself to meet his gaze. “No, I’ve never been kissed.”
“Would you like to try it?”
Your stomach somersaults. “What?”
“I can teach you about a lot more than just the animatronics.”
You feel the heat rising in your cheeks.
“Such a pretty color.” He hums appreciatively at the blooming pink tinge. “What do you think? Entirely at your discretion, again. You’re under no obligation. We can keep things strictly professional.”
You stare in disbelief at your new boss’s smirking mouth. He actually wanted to…it’s wrong, isn’t it? Inappropriate on so many levels. He’s so strange. That disarming, off putting feeling is still present, but there’s something else as well. You’re so used to being ignored, unwanted, disregarded. But this man, virtual stranger that he is, he seems to actually desire you. The sensation warms you further. You want more of it. He intrigues you.
“Okay,” you agree softly.
“Okay what? Okay you want to keep things professional, or okay you want me to kiss you? You have to say it.”
“I want you to kiss me.” Just saying the words sends a thrill through your body, stirring a warmer desire within.
One hand settles against your face, palm warm, the fingertips calloused. His thumb strokes across your cheek, underlines your lower lip. “You’re tense. Relax.”
“I’m trying.”
“Close your eyes.”
You obey, feeling your lashes trembling with the effort it takes to hold them there, restrained. You want to see what the older man is doing. You hear the seat creak as he leans closer to you, feel his breath against your forehead and cheeks and neck, saving the ultimate goal of your mouth for last.
His lips are gentle against your tentative ones. You’d half expected his beard to be scratchy but it’s oddly smooth. His mouth touches yours again and you feel wetness now, his lips parting and your own reflexively open. This isn’t as scary as you’d imagined it would be. It feels good. Really good. The hand against your cheek slides down to your neck. You’re not sure where to put your own hands, finally resting one on his bare forearm, stroking along the patterns of his scars.
He moans into your mouth, seat creaking again when his pelvis shifts. His tongue presses against yours and oh, does that do something to your insides; forget the somersault, this is an absolute roller coaster at its apex plunge. It spirals around your own, caressing, stroking, pushing. You absently realize you’re no longer caressing his arm, your nails digging into flesh instead.
He sucks your bottom lip briefly before breaking away, easing back into his seat while your eyes slide open. You’re both a little breathless, panting for air, watching each other before he recovers enough to speak. “Well you are a fast learner, aren’t you? Such a good protégé. I’d ask you if you enjoyed it but the answer is quite apparent.” He gently pries your fingers loose from their vice grip.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to—”
“Don’t apologize. I liked it. A lot.”
You wonder if he’ll kiss you again, somewhat disappointed when he doesn’t. The cold remains of your dinner are tossed and he restarts the engine. Another twenty minutes and the route to your house will be completed. You don’t think you’re going to sleep a wink tonight.
You’re at that stoplight again, the one with the sharp ninety degree turn that he’d taken too fast.
“Did you do that on purpose earlier?”
“Hmmm?” It’s the first time you’ve spoken to each other since the parking lot of the fast food joint.
“When you took the corner too fast.”
He chuckles softly. “Accidental. Intentional. A pity we can’t try it again from this direction to decide which it is.” He pauses. “We could try it again tomorrow, though. If I’m still picking you up. Or are you still insistent that walking is more proper?”
“You can pick me up.” The light turns green but he doesn’t move. There are no other cars around. “Why did you stop kissing me?”
His thumb strokes over the grips of the steering wheel. “Because that was the end of the lesson.” The car turns gently. Your destination is close now. You wish it wasn’t.
Your parents’ cars are in the driveway and the reality of your unpleasant home life comes crashing down around you. You'd actually managed to forget all about it for once. Excited about your new job. Feeling like you might belong somewhere after all. Wanted by your new employer. No longer so lonely.
Steve reaches into the back seat, retrieving your things and handing them to you. You hesitate, one hand resting on the handle of the door.
“Tomorrow,” he promises.
