As a gift to @somerandomdudelmao and myself after that one comment about the little turtles watching Casey Junior clamber on and cling to his “Master/Sensei” figures and having an “Oh he means Dad” moment.
They are having the turtle pile they deserve in the pillow-fort that was demanded when they found out Uncle Tello splurged on an obscene amount of cushions and installed Floor Heating and a Heat Lamp.

WANT ANOTHER DATE? CLICK HERE
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀YOUR CURRENT PICK: ATSUMU MIYA
“i know you’re tired of dating apps for college students!” you growled at the comment, exhausted.
“and this isn't the typical matching you do to me when i am lonely?” you questioned, bokuto raised his eyebrows.
“shut up, y/n, you know what i mean.” rolling your eyes, you covered yourself with the biggest blanket in the bed.
“since i broke up with my ex, you and akaashi have tried to set me up too many times, i don't know what to believe anymore.” you groaned.
“y/n you know you are such a good girl, that’s why this guy it's the one.” he said confidently.
“you’re not allowed to call me good girl, you’re gross,” he gasped and you scoffed, “and how do you know that he is the one? are you… god?” 
he groaned loudly, “god, shut the fuck up, i’m right you’re wrong.”
“you always say that, and you are always mistaken.” you pouted at him and closed your eyes, drifting to sleep ignoring the rest of bokuto’s words.
osamu groaned, “yer’ such a pain in the ass, ‘tsumu.”
atsumu chuckled, looking at his body up and down on the large mirror he had on the back of the door of his room. the shirt he was wearing was kind of tight, showing clearly how his every day work-out performed wonders on his upper body. his gaze lowered to his pants, he wasn't sure if wearing those dirty ass sweatpants was the optimal choice, he didn't know if his date was as judgemental as he was, so changing pants was probably the best choice. on his way to his closet, he saw how osamu was scrolling quickly on his phone, paying zero attention to him.
“you’re not helping me today, whatcha’ doing there?” osamu looked at him with disgust, atsumu raised his eyebrows. “why are you looking at me like that?”
“you better not fuck this date up, ‘tsumu.”
“do you happen to know something i don't?”
“yeah, like always.” both glared at each other throwing silent knives.
atsumu finally dressed himself nicely, and osamu didn’t add any other snarky comment for the rest of the morning, letting atsumu breathe peacefully for a few hours. The time for the date was approaching very fast, the weight of his brother's words was making him more nervous every minute that passed by. osamu was supposed to drive him to the place he would meet up with the unknown girl, but he bailed at the last second making him walk there, while claiming that he was the better twin because he had a driver’s license.
his heart was pounding untypically, he was always amazed by how his good looks worked on the female population, but being lowkey threatened by his own brother about going on a date with a woman wasn’t something that always happened. osamu usually didn't care at all about his whole career he had created on his years of being a college student; dominating the feelings of women, wrapping them around his finger only to let them down at the end of the so-called ‘fling’, so his thoughts went to osamu and how he actually called him out about everything else.
people always thought the worst about him when he started a new fling, and usually people were right about it. atsumu had a bad history with women, they always expected more than he could give to them, so he acted like the asshole he was deep down and scared them away. so him agreeing to go on this blind date because his brother’s friend akaashi was involved, probably wasn't a good idea at all knowing akaashi and his friends.
while walking alone on the sidewalk, he was already feeling this date wasn't meant to be, as if he believed in something so foolish as destiny. the place he was set up for his blind date was a small coffee shop not so close to his shared apartment with osamu, but he could manage a thirty-minute walk by himself.
he sent a text to the number akaashi gave him, they weren't really that close, but osamu seemed to trust the guy a lot and at first sight, akaashi keiji looked like a good person overall, so atsumu could try and be nice for once, right?
a minute later, his phone vibrated.
strangerdanger: i’m already here!
atsumu groaned, he was already late.
you saw that the coffee shop had booths available as you entered the place, you thought about ordering your drink first, but that was kind of rude, so you decided to sit immediately on the booth that had the biggest window by it, just to have a clear sight of who entered and who was just passing by. 
you arrived ten minutes early, wanting to be there first before your date made an appearance. he shooted you a text five minutes before the hour that was set, saying he was arriving soon and asking where you were.
y/n: i’m already here!
mr. loml: nice, i’m one block away.
y/n: okay! i’m sitting in the booth next to the big window.
you shivered, mixed feelings of being excited and already hating how he arrived just in time. you didn't know what you could expect from this blind date set up by the one and only bokuto koutarou, he said nothing about your date but mentioned how keiji was friends with a guy who had a twin, so you anticipated that maybe the twin mentioned was going to show up to the blind date. you shrugged, well, this was the last time you followed bokuto and akaashi’s words without asking anything else, that blind trust you had in them sometimes did you more wrong than right.
your eyes scanned the sidewalk in front of the coffee shop, waiting and feeling slightly anxious for someone to cross the street and suddenly appear in front of you. fidgeting with your fingers, you decided to concentrate on other things to soothe your nerves, thinking about how the coffee from the shop was excellent and akaashi told you only good things about it.
“hola?”
“excuse me?” you turned your head slowly to the voice by your side.
“are you my date?”
your jaw dropped, this man was hot, like, really hot.
“yes? i don't know, i guess?” atsumu raised an eyebrow, “which twin are you?”
he scoffed, “the better one.”
“uhm, okay.” this was an awkward start, “let’s order our drinks?”
he told you his coffee order and sat in front of you at the other side of the booth as you stood up and walked to the cashier.
atsumu watched you walk away from the table, staring at your ass for a few seconds. observing how you interacted with the barista taking the orders, how you smiled and made cute gestures with your hands when you talked, which by the way, looked very soft.
after you came back with the drinks and handed him his order you felt a little relieved, maybe now you could actually have a normal conversation and forget about that strange first interaction, first impressions weren’t that important… right? 
you discovered that this guy was called ‘atsumu’ and he didn’t talk very fondly about his twin, ‘osamu’. he had dirty blond hair and an undercut that suited him very well, besides, you couldn’t help but look at his shirt, this dude crearly knew how to show off his body, it was a little tight so you could actually see his abs.
he caught you staring at his body and smirked. “do you like what you’re seeing?” your gaze snapped from his lower stomach to his face, you could feel your cheeks getting red and hot. “i’m joking, i know you like it.”
this was another thing that you learned while talking to him, he was a little bit of an asshole. he loved talking about himself and teasing other people.
“yeah sure, you wish.” what he didn’t know was that you could also be like that when you wanted to.
“wow” atsumu was surprised that he was actually having fun on a blind date.
“what?”
“women are not funny.” you stared at him, shocked, and then proceeded to stab his hand with your plastic fork.
“it was a joke!” he rubbed his injured hand.
you chuckled, atsumu could be annoying at times, but you found that kind of charming in a way.
atsumu talked and talked about his time spent in highschool playing volleyball and how his twin brother was the most annoying person on the planet but he loved him anyway. you found yourself staring at him with heart eyes while he ranted on bizarre moments of his life and described the fight he had with his brother about hair colors so other people could distinguish them from each other. you tried to imagine atsumu with grey hair to get a picture of osamu in your head, feeling kind of dumb.
“osamu seems nice, can i meet him?” atsumu’s face suddenly changed and he looked annoyed.
“why?”
“he sounds like the better looking twin.” he gasped and put a hand on his chest dramatically, feeling slightly offended.
“he was the one who set me up with you, so i don’t think you have a chance with him.” he crossed his arms, looking away.
“i just wanted to meet him, not date him.” you snickered, seeing how his face turned pink but his face changed immediately to a cocky smirk.
“oh, so, you want to date me?”
“dude, we are on date right now.”
“nah, sorry, i don’t do dating” that took you for surprise, you blinked dumbfoundedly.
“then why are you here?”
atsumu went on a rant about his love life, how people always expected a lot from him when he dated, wanting him to commit immediately to a relationship when he just wanted to have fun. so, that lowkey sparked a fear of commitment when it came to dating, that's why every time he met a girl he tried to be as clear as possible, stating that he didn’t want to have a full-on relationship with her, it was just a one night stand after all. but the girls, god, the girls seemed to have a fixation on him, every morning after a hook-up the girl would always ask him for a date or more than that, so he ended up being known as a heartbreaker and an asshole to the female population. the whole time you were looking at his huge arms and didn't understand a thing… oops.
“...that's rough, buddy.” you couldn’t think about anything else to say, you didn’t sign up to give therapy to a stranger.
“were you even listening to me?”
“i tried at the beginning, but it was lowkey deep so…” he stared at you, dumbfoundedly, “what i did catch was some stuff about fear of commitment, so listen, i won’t pressure you to anything, i just want to have fun too.” you shrugged.
atsumu was speechless, but he tried to recover immediately and catch you off guard. “well then, your place or my place?”  
“mine.” you didn’t even skip a beat, this was a game for two.
he was the one caught off guard.
...
he got pegged.
atsumu couldn’t believe it either, he just found himself on all fours on your bed, watching expectantly how you, well, did your thing behind him. he did everything in his power to not show how much he was enjoying the whole experience, but you knew by the way he was shuddering.
“you can shower if you want.” you said lazily from the bed. “there’s a clean towel behind the door.”
he nodded and silently walked to the bathroom, with mixed feelings flowing through his chest. he thought your shampoo smelled really nice as he cleaned himself in the shower.
he stepped out of the shower and dressed himself, when he came out of the bathroom you were already with your clothes on preparing yourself a sandwich on the kitchen counter.
without looking at him you said, “well, it was nice meeting you, please say thanks to osamu for setting us up.” he stood there and blinked, not sure about what to do next.
he tried to compose himself, only thinking of how he was getting kicked out, “i can’t do that, it would get to his head and he would never shut up about how great he is.” you chuckled.
“yeah sure, you know where the door is.” you patted his shoulder on your way back to the bedroom, disappearing after closing the door.
he stood there for a few seconds, then left.
blond twin: so, when are you free again?
y/n: huh?
blond twin: y’know, for a second date?
y/n: HUH? i thought you didn’t do dating
y/n: maybe you want to get pegged again?
blond twin: shut up
blond twin: so? time and place?

Biting Dust - Ch.3
Tumblr media
Life ain’t too easy for a woman, ‘specially not a woman on the run like you. With a bounty on your head and gunpowder in your nose, you’ve grown adjusted to a life of solitude away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. That is, until you meet one particular man who’s got a face you’d only ever seen in your dreams – or on wanted posters. And when he offers you a proposition that sounds too good to be true, well. You don’t think your life will ever be the same again…
Outlaw!Kylo Ren x Reader
Tumblr Masterlist | Available on AO3
5.5k ; Content Warnings: Mentions of scars, mention of injury, mention of blood ; NSFW (Masturbation [Kylo jerking off], leather kink, scent kink/turned on by smells, mild praise kink)
                                                  -------------------------
You wake up with the sun, with the earth. The sky blazes in a pink and purple blanket of clouds, cacti juttin’ up proudly from the ground, a black silhouette against the pale light of mornin’. The birds are your first call, the alarm mother nature herself has set for you, the one which you’ve obeyed every day for as long as you can remember. There’s too many of them, the chirps, all of them in an off-beat harmony that goes on echoin’ over the gorge.
The water is your second alarm, the soft rush of the river as it twists and turns ‘round the bend a thousand feet below. The sound of it alone has you sighin’ with relief, knowin’ you’ve made it to water. Water wasn’t too easy to come by out in the desert, but the chicken scratch on that map had done you good, had led you straight to where you needed to be.
The sound of footsteps approachin’ is your third alarm – and this alarm was one felt deep in your gut. Sittin’ upright real fuckin’ fast and holdin’ the gun steady in the direction of the sound, you blink away the sleep sand from your eyes and level a glare so mean it coulda killed the sonofabitch stranger on the spot.
But then you open your eyes a little further, and you focus on just who the sonofabitch is, and you sigh.
Oh right, you can’t help but think with a groan. Kylo Ren.
He looks well rested, if a little scruffy. Scruffy, you think with a scowl, how the hell does he look so sleep mussed and yet still handsome? That wasn’t right, not one damn bit.
The events of the day prior come slammin’ through you all at one, and you toss the gun down lightly as you fall back onto the bundle of sacks that you’ve called your pillow, stretchin’ your limbs way high up over your head. Kylo is chipper, a mornin’ person it would seem, and he’s standin’ over you blockin’ out the sun from your eyes like a gentleman.
“Mornin’ Angel.” He greets you, offerin’ you a hand. “Sleep tight?”
You regard the hand, regard him.
The fact that you woke up at all is a surprisin’ one – a damn surprisin’ one. You’d’ve thought, well, you were almost certain he woulda left you stranded, if he left you alive at all. But there he was, his hand outstretched, and you take it, allowin’ him to help haul you up onto your feet.
“You didn’t kill me.” You say instead of a proper greeting, and Kylo rolls his eyes.
“Well that would go directly against the proclamation I gave to offer my protection, now wouldn’t it?” He replies sarcastically, puffin’ on that same cigarette he had worked on last night.
You try not to think about how good it looks between his crooked teeth.
“Those were just words.” You shrug, avertin’ your gaze and regardin’ the horses. Agnes and Sam seemed to be chumming up real nicely, the both of them grazing side by side on the few desert plants that managed to grow near the gorge. “I didn’t think you’d actually meant ‘em.”
“If there’s one thing you should know ‘bout me, it’s that I say what I mean and I mean what I say.” Kylo is serious in a way that makes you raise a brow, and he continues, “Too many tragedies get born from mis-communicatin’, don’t you think?”  
“I wouldn’t know.” You lie, not feelin’ like divulging anything about yourself to this man, not yet. You don’t know him, don’t trust him, how could you?
Yes he didn’t go killin’ you when he had the chance but what if that meant he was savin’ it up to kill you later? What if --
“Are you hungry?” Kylo interrupts your train of thought before you can spiral down into a paranoid place. It was just strange, so damn strange, the way he regards you so calmly. Even up in the tree he had spoken to you like he’d known you your whole lives.
You were sure you’d never met him, a face like his wasn’t one folks seldom came across, and one even less likely to forget.
Dusting off the beautiful Hopi blanket and folding it neatly, you think the question over. Really, your stomach was still pretty full from the meals you’d enjoyed at the hotel, and you knew that the earlier in the day you started eatin’, the hungrier you’d be later on. It was a tough life, and on your own you’d gone too many days without food at all in your belly, so the thought of givin’ any of it up now didn’t sit too right with you.
“I’ve got some dried fruit and nuts in the knapsack,” You say anyway, because really energy was good and you would need it to deal with him, this man. Kylo nods once and makes to rifle through the knapsack, and you don’t know what comes over you but you offer, “We’ll split it.”
Kylo looks at you with an expression you can’t quite place. He looks caught off-guard by that, by the offer. And maybe he was, food bein’ so scarce out here in the desert the way it was, particularly for a coupl’a outcasts like yourselves. You try not to think about those two dollars you gave up the day before.
You wonder if Kylo’s got any money, what might be in his knapsacks he rides around with.
“I boiled us come coffee.” He blinks, and you blink too – well, you think, there’s one thing he carries on him.
The fire from last night must’a smoldered out while the both of y’all were asleep, because there’s fresh brush smokin’ up into the morning sky when you turn to take in the sight of the tin coffee pot bubblin’ away. As a matter of fact, Kylo moves over there now with the fruit and nuts in his hand, fixes a cup while it’s nice and fresh and so it don’t get scorched. You’ll have to drink from the same cup, you realize, because you don’t have one. The only thing you’ve got are the canteens for water, and you can’t go pourin’ coffee into that.
“How long have you been awake?” You ask, gratefully accepting a big handful of nuts and some dried apricots.
“Before the sun, wanted to get the coffee started, and needed to go lookin’ for some salve, for this here burn.” Kylo tilts his head to the side and exposes the nasty red gash that winds itself ‘round his throat. He grumbles and scowls, “Hurts like a bitch it does.”
You toss back a big swig of the coffee and crunch down on a couple pecans before you pull one of the bags over and begin openin’ up the different pockets and pouches, lookin’ for the jar of ointment you know is there.
“C’mere.” You wave him over when you do find it.
It ain’t a big jar or nothin’ like that, but it’s still good, smells just fine. If anythin’ was gonna soothe that burn it would be this. You had purchased it from a medicine man some months back as a precaution, and though you know you’d have to use the whole thing on him eventually, it beat lettin’ the ointment spoil and wastin’ the money.
Kylo sits close to you, real close. Too close, the way he was yesterday, in your personal space. You’re wary of him, but he sits real still, eyeing the ointment. It’s now that you actually take time to look at what he’s wearin’, as you push his clothes out of the way.
He’s got a long coat somewhere, you remember seein’ it hangin’ around his body up in the tree. He’d been hidin’ a smartly fitted pair of brown corduroy trousers and heeled boots, a white button down with billowing sleeves, and a dark red waistcoat underneath it. There was a gold chain peekin’ out of one of the waistcoat pockets, and you’re pretty sure it’s a watch.
You wonder if he’s got someone’s picture in it.
Somehow, this close to you, he’s enormous. Absolutely the biggest man you’ve ever seen, his hands alone are longer than your face, you can tell just by the way he runs his fingers through his long dark hair.
He sits still, real still, and closes his eyes. Ever so gently, you scoop up a little bit of the salve and hold your breath as it makes contact with his neck. Kylo doesn’t wince, doesn’t do anything as you smear the ointment against his angry skin, and you have to admit, you’re impressed. Even if this were another exaggerated display of toughness, you’re impressed.
You make sure to cover every bit of the rope burn, mostly because you don’t want it to get infected. It’ll likely scar, but Kylo’s got bigger and badder scars to concern himself with, you doubt that this one will bother him much. And if it does, well, too fuckin’ bad, at least he ain’t dead.
“Thank you.” Kylo says softly, his voice deep in the quiet of the morning. He’s so close, too close, as you close the little jar and put it back in your knapsack for when you know you’ll have to reapply it for him. Kylo watches as you do so, bringin’ his cigarette back up to his lips and humming, “You’ve got magic in that bag or somethin’?”
“Not magic, just a lifetime of shit.” You say, and for the first time that you let him see, you smile at him.
Kylo’s still too close, and he doesn’t go movin’ away once the bag is closed and you pluck the cup of coffee from his hands, bring it up to your lips and take a sip of the bitter brown brew.
“I reckon we’re goin’ down to that there river, ain’t we?” Kylo nods in the direction of the bend, and you smack your lips, the coffee coating the roof of your mouth.
“You’d be reckonin’ right. It won’t take long, maybe only an hour on account of havin’ to be real careful the horses don’t slip, and then we can move along the river.” That was the plan anyway.
Yesterday you’d been privy to a nice long soak, and it had done your muscles wonders, but you had a bundle of bloodied clothin’ you needed to get washed and get washed ASAP. You were still in the blue dress, and you knew you’d feel much more comfortable in your ridin’ clothes, except the ridin’ clothes were stained through with dried blood right about this time.
That was going to be a bitch to get out, you think as you sip your coffee, but you try to remain optimistic about it. Really it only mattered if the blue dress stayed nice, that was the only one townsfolk were liable to see.
“Where are we headed, when we follow the river?” Kylo takes the cup of coffee back and pulls a deep swig out of it.
“I’m going to Colorado.” You make a point of emphasizing, and he only frowns with something like concern.
“Central City or Victor?” He chews on his lip, his good eye a little too bright, a little too interested.
“I’ve heard nice things about Victor. I think there might be a good chance of gold there.” You shrug with one shoulder, feigning interest.
Whatever Kylo might be after, whatever he might want, you don’t want him to know that you want this more, more desperately than anything anyone could ever want.
“So it’s gold that you’re after.” He muses, and you snap your head to glare at him.
“It’s freedom I’m after.” You’re real quick to correct him, not wantin’ you to think that you’re just some greedy person wantin’ to get their hands on every last penny they can. You knew people like that – had known – and you never wanted to be anything like them. It’s just that, “Freedom don’t come cheap, and gold’s the best place to start with something like that.”
Kylo looks down into his coffee for a long while, contemplatin’ what you’ve just said. You wish you could see inside his head, wish you could hear what he was thinkin’. Was he the same? Was he itching for a plot of peace and quiet and calm?
Where had he been headed, when you’d found him?
“I can take you there, to Victor. I’ve been before, so I know the way. Shortcuts through the canyons and everything, I swear.” Kylo pinches out the cigarette and sticks it back in his pocket, clears his throat a little. “I’m good for it, you’ll see. Besides, it’s less conspicuous to go travelin’ in pairs than for a woman to go ridin’ into town alone, ‘specially a rough town like Victor.”
“I can handle myself just fine, thank you.” Unless yesterday, you’re not quite so venomous with the way you respond. In fact, you find yourself in a rather teasin’ playful kinda mood now that the caffeine is perkin’ up your system. “I seem to recall between the two of us, I was the one cuttin’ you down.”
Maybe Kylo’s in a playful mood too, because that almost gets a smile out of him.
“Fair enough. But seeing as you’re stuck with me for the foreseeable future anyway, might as well take advantage of my good sense of direction.” He points out, and you have to ask:
“What’s in it for you?”
Kylo hesitates on that for a little while. He looks over to the rising sun, now well into the sky. It’s no longer purples and pinks, but the pale blue you’ve grown so used to seein’ hanging over your head. Birds fly high above you, their wings spready wide.
You wish you could fly.
“My gang’s waitin’ for me there. We got separated few weeks back, and that’s always been the meet-up spot. I’m hopin’ that, if they’re alive, they’re there and waitin’. I’d like to at the very least get there to find out.” Kylo says finally.
“Those would be the Knights of Ren.” You muse, still not really believing him. You’ll call him Kylo and you won’t kill him for it, but you’re not convinced, not really.
“That they would.” Still he sticks true to his story, and something changes in his voice with the way he talks about him, “They’re the closest thing to family a guy like me could ever get, and if I’m bein’ honest with you Angel, I’d very much like to get home to them.”
You sigh and get up, brush off the sand from the skirt of your dress and offer him a hand.
He looks at it, looks at you, then back at it, and with a hopeful glimmer in his eye, he takes it.
                                                 -------------------------
The journey down the canyon is done in silence, mostly outta concentration. Neither of you want to distract the horses as they make their way down the perilously narrow pathways carved out of the canyon by millions of years of rivers flowin’ through these parts, so you stay quiet.
It’s nice, the quiet, gives you time to appreciate the beauty of it all. You’re surprised Kylo manages to shut up for two seconds, with how chatty he seems to be. You can’t go blamin’ him too bad though you suppose, if he’s been on the run as long as you have, if he’s been alone as long as you have, a fresh face to talk to was probably the most welcome thing Kylo could’ve asked for.
Eventually, you do get to the bottom of the gorge, and Agnes and Sam both make a beeline to the river’s edge. You and Kylo have to yank on the reigns and get them to slow down, they’re too excited and it would be really shit to have all your bags soaked.
An hour or two after breakfast you find yourselves face to face with Horseshoe Bend, the lush vegetation that grows right along the bank. The water is a rich blue, and the land around it is a deep green, and you don’t think you’ve ever seen something this magical, so refreshing after eons of red and orange dirt.
The first plan is to fill the canteens, which you do right away. You fill them all up until there ain’t no air left, and then you fill ‘em up some more. Then, you decide, you have to wash the blood outta your clothes.
Kylo watches you do that right on the bank, doesn’t say a word. He doesn’t ask any questions, and for that you’re grateful. You wouldn’t have the answers to go givin’ him. He leaves you to your own devices as a matter of fact, walks away from where you’re kneeled over the steady stream of water to go tend to Sam.
Something comes over you, and idea, a notion poppin’ into your head.
You begin to strip down to nothin’, not a stitch of clothing on you, and you tiptoe into the river.
It’s a risk, of course.
But it’s also a challenge.
He wants you to trust him. Trustin’ means vulnerability, and you can’t think of nothin’ more vulnerable than this. If he wants you to open yourself up to him, well shit. He’s gonna have to open himself up to you too. So there you are, naked in the river. The water is cold against your skin, the current whooshing between your legs. Every now and again a fish bumps into your shin, and you suck in a small breath of surprise as it passes you to continue its journey down the river.
Your back is to Kylo, givin’ him time to make a decision – join you or not. You haven’t decided yet what you’ll do if he joins you, but you hold your breath and wait.
A few moments and some rustling later, you hear the light splashing of Kylo stepping in too, and your pulse pounds. You’re not quite right next to one another or nothin’, but definitely close enough that he should be able to hear you when you chew your lip, the inside of your cheek, and ask,
“Are you lookin’?”
You don’t know what answer you want him to give.
“No.” Kylo says, says it hesitantly. He doesn’t say it like it’s a complete sentence, like there’s more he wants to tumble out of his mouth, but nothing comes.
“Do you want to?” You whisper, turning to face him.
You smile briefly, because he’s turned away from you too.
Only for a moment though, before he’s glancing over his shoulder and lookin’ at you, really lookin’ at you.
Exposed, is how you feel, in a word. Your shoulders are squared and your chin is raised in defiance, your tits out above the water. It’s almost a dare, seeing how long it’ll take him to glance down, to break the staring contest you’ve found yourselves in.
He breaks first, you find with a small thrill, as you watch him look at you, take in the sight of your body. His is…a marvel. Incredible, really. He’s so wide? Impossibly broad, the kind of shoulders you could sit on with no problem. And he was wide all the way down, stomach not tapering down to trim hips – no, this man was sold through and through.
Solid, and covered in scars. He shows them off proudly, the same way you show yourself. It’s a challenge, a dare, a plea. You don’t know what you’re askin’ for, but it’s a plea nonetheless. Hesitantly, he takes a step towards you. He’s askin’ for permission in this silent way, a hand outstretched. You bite the inside of your cheek and take a step towards him.
This dance continues, one step after the other, the both of y’all coming to meet in the middle.
It’s the water, you reckon. The cooling river washing away your sins, your crimes. It took the blood out of your clothes, will it rinse the very same from your hands?
Suddenly, somehow, he’s too close again.
This time, for some reason, you don’t mind.
You tilt your head the barest bit, and whatever you’re askin’ for, he seems to be answerin’, by resting his forehead against your own. He hunches down and curls himself around you to fit, to make up the distance from bein’ so much taller than you, and he lets out a contemplative sigh.
Silently, you stare into each other’s eyes. This close, you focus on the mangled and marred one he’s got, the scar that goes with it. It starts from his browbone and carries all the way down to his shoulder. How did a man go about gettin’ something like that, you wonder. He’s sure to have a story for it, somethin’ like that, somethin’ as big as that always had a story.
“I like the way your leather smells…when you’ve been ridin’ all day.” He says abruptly, doesn’t break his gaze from yours, lookin’ from your left eye to your right with the only one he’s got left.
You blink rapidly, unsure what to do with that information. Unsure what to do with him.
Unsure what to do with yourself.
“What’s it smell like?” Your ribcage expands when you take a deep breath, a steady breath.
“Like sweat, the earth.” He replies hungrily, his eye darkening with what you know has to be lust, “It smells warm, like it’s still alive. It smells like you.”
“And what do I smell like?” You stare him down, making him sweat even there in the cool of the river. It’s fulfilling, seeing him sweat under your gaze.
“I – I don’t know.” He admits, voice faltering.
“Do you want to find out?” You whisper, eyes wide, terrified.
When was the last time you did this sort of thing with someone? You can’t remember, not as far back as your memory goes – and it goes pretty damn far. You’ve never done this, not with another person, not in broad daylight. And what would you do, if he said no? If he thought you a cheap loose woman now, if he –
“Please.” He whimpers, and oh.
Oh.
He was the kind of man you’d been dreamin’ about, wasn’t he? The kind who needed a firm hand, who wanted to be put in his place. Made sense, it did, if this was really Kylo Ren, surely no one would dare try out of fear of bein’ shot. Well, he’s not got his pistol on him, and your hands are already smoothin’ up his chest, already draggin’ up to his shoulders, around his neck, fingers weavin’ into the hair at the base of his skull.
Giving and encouraging little nudge, Kylo ducks his head down and shoves it into the crook of your throat, already taking in deep gulpfuls of breaths, smelling you. He must like it, must like the way you smell, because in seconds you can feel his cock filling out hard and thick, pressing against your stomach. It’s huge, and that shouldn’t surprise you given the rest of him, but it still does.
Without so much as a second thought, you let one of your hands wrap around it, and Kylo immediately moans.
“Your cock’s hard for it?” You lick your lips, curious, wanting to see where this takes you, where the two of you will go.
“Yes.” He replies straight away, and something about that trips your brain up. He likes answering your questions, he likes doing what you say, he likes when you’re pleased with his answers. You can tell by the way his cock gets harder harder harder, and you give it a squeeze.
“For me or the leather?” You whisper, mouth run real dry. You shake your head and speak low in his ear, makin’ goosebumps shudder through his flesh with a groan when you say, “You can take care of it, if you’d like. If’n you need to.”
Releasing his dick, Kylo groans at the loss. His hand replaces yours, and he begins a slow stroke. His face is still tucked into your neck, and he’s still breathing hard, breathing you in. You can’t see much because of the way he’s shoved himself against you, you can’t see past the wall of muscle that is his shoulders and back, but you can feel it.
His hand speedin’ up, twistin’ the muscles in his arm twitching and spasming as he grunts softly, groans. Your ego swells at the thought that all of this is because of you – before your mind catches up and scolds you for the thought. You were probably just a body to him, to Kylo. Just another pair of tits, a naked woman for him to feast his eyes on.
“Can I kiss you?” He asks, voice wobbly with how he’s workin’ at his dick, jerkin’ himself off.
“No.” You shake your head, your mood souring just the tiniest bit. Him wanting to kiss you helps soothe your thoughts, so you keep your tone light, “But you can taste me. Come on cowboy, taste me.”
It was the right thing to do, to say, because the moment your words leave your lips, Kylo’s tongue is pressin’ against your pulse. He moans outright, his hips bucking up into his fist, shoulders curlin’ in on themselves so they can press him closer to you. Your arm curls around his waist, friction against your nipples as he shudders and shakes against you, laves his tongue and licking up the sweat that’s started to collect.
Your pussy throbs, so turned on by him, too turned on – but you won’t let him watch you do that, not today. You’ve won this battle, this test, this challenge for trust, he will win another day. You’ll find some secret time to touch yourself, to slide your fingers between the folds of your cunt and rub at your clit and come around your fingers like you spend so many nights doing; although this time, you’re sure you’ll be doin’ it to the memory of him,
“Angel, oh – ughn, that’s good.” He moans, voice gravelly and deep, the back of his throat clickin’ with want. Your name, your name sounds divine comin’ outta his mouth, and you want to hate how much you love it, how it makes the pit of your stomach flutter.
Ain’t nobody ever said your name that way before, not like this.
“I’ve got you.” You soothe him much like you used to soothe the childr—no, you shake your head, not the time, not the place. Kylo’s whining and crying, you can feel the wetness against your neck as he licks your throat, sucks on it, worries it between his teeth as he tastes you.
He comes before he can give any warning, aside from the way his body tenses up all of a sudden.
“Mmm, ah, ah,” He shudders as he spills over his hand, his fingers blockin’ it so it don’t go arcin’ up onto you. You appreciate that, the consideration, even though you wouldn’t have minded one bit. You’re in the river after all, and the river washes everything away. He winces and sighs and groans out a little, “Fuck.”
“Hm?” You don’t step away from him yet, you don’t go nowhere. You stay close, right there, too close.
“Probably shouldn’t’ve done that in the water we’re supposed to drink.” Kylo grumbles, slightly slurring his words.
Something about that makes you want to laugh, and you only rub his shoulder. He looks up at you with that big brown eye, the other one milky white, the reflection of the universe, everything and nothing inside of it all the same.
“I’ve already filled the canteens, but the current will take it.” You say like it’s no problem, because it ain’t no problem, not really. You don’t know what to do next.
What comes next, in times like these? You don’t have the know-how, not really, you don’t know what to say. So you simply grab a bar of soap that’s been resting on a rock that justs outta the river, and wade deeper into the water, tossin’ over your shoulder, “Next time aim somewhere else.”
                                                 -------------------------
Later, much later, when your clothes have dried and you’ve changed into clean outfits, the both of y’all walk a great long distance against the river’s bank. Sam and Agnes must be thrilled, you think, to be out of the immediate blaze of the sun, the cliffs of the gorge sheltering y’all as you keep close to the river.
Kylo doesn’t say much, but he does walk beside you and not in front of you, and he’s earned a shred more respect from you for that.
“What were you doin’, stealing the sheriff’s horse?” You ask, the question havin’ been on your mind all day.
For the first time, he doesn’t react well to your questions, stops straight in his tracks with a murderous scowl, and for a second, you think he really could be Kylo Ren.
“I didn’t go stealin’ no fuckin’ horse!” He fumes, hands wavin’ all wild like as he talks, as he explains, “Sam had gotten herself all interested in the town and wandered off in the middle of the night. I had to walk eight miles followin’ her fuckin’ prints in the sand only to find her integrated into the town. When I tried to explain that she was mine, they didn’t believe me and strung me up.”
There’s a lot of questions there that you could ask, but the one that blurts out before you have a chance at a real thought it,
“You tracked her prints for eight miles?”
You stop walking too, impressed. You hate to admit that you’re impressed. You were so used to runnin’, so used to avoid bein’ caught that you never really learned how to chase.
“It’s easy when there ain’t no wind.” Kylo doesn’t move, regards you carefully as he explains, “Nothin’ to blow ‘em away.”
“What about when there is wind?” You demand, not sure why you’re suddenly so interested. Maybe you’re jealous, is that what this is? Jealousy? Maybe he’ll teach you, you think, maybe he’ll show you.
You think about your wanted posters, how yours is only 25,000 and his is 100,000. You wonder what else he might be inclined to show you.
 “I’m real good at that sort of thing, my uncle taught me. Tracking, trapping, hunting, herding, you know.” Kylo says, “When it comes time for dinner tonight, I’ll show you.”
                                                 -------------------------
He hunts a cottontail, for dinner.
You’ve never been able to catch a cottontail, you think, as it roasts slowly on a spicket over the fire that you and Kylo built once you’ve settled in for the night. You’re a long way away from Horseshoe Bend now, but you haven’t left the closeness behind. Further along the river you and Kylo have set up camp for the evening, and this time, you don’t worry too much about him guttin’ you in your sleep.
You still worry about it o’course, but. Not too much.
“Shit.” You sigh as your teeth rip into the meat when he hands you your portion, and Kylo’s chest puffs with pride.
“At the rate we’re goin’, we’ll be headin’ into a small town tomorrow.” He replies quietly, biting into the rabbit he serves himself, “Smaller than the last one, by a lot. I think they got maybe three public buildin’s, the rest all houses and farm. We’ll need a cover story, because there’s gonna be questions.”
“You wanna be my brother or my cousin?” You hum, and Kylo looks at you funny.
“I’m too old to be your brother.” Kylo’s quick to respond and he says that too harshly, a sour subject that you didn’t know. Well how were you supposed to know, you think, trying not to get angry with him for snapping at you.
“How old are you?” You wonder, because really, you know so little about him, you know so little about anyone in the world, you realize.
“Too old to be your brother.” Kylo whispers, and you nod in resignation. There was enough sharing today, you think, enough testing the waters as it were.
“Cousin it is then.” You finish the last few bites of the small rabbit and begin to settle down atop your pillow made from the knapsacks and satchels, fishing out your favorite blanket and tugging it around your arms, “We’ll figure the rest out in the morning, I’m tired.”
It’s quiet, for a while.
Nothing but the sound of the river, and the fire that separates you and Kylo, a wall between you. You listen as he rustles and shifts around on the hard ground, no pillow and no blanket again. He puts his hat over his face as a cover against the light from the flames, you watch discreetly from the corner of your eye.
“It’ll be cold again tonight.” Kylo whispers.
Come sleep next to me.
“Goodnight, Ren.” You reply.
I can’t. Not yet.
 Not yet.

Hi can i request some ina x mc fluff? Like a date in park and reading book? I love yours works ❤️
Anon I’m so sorry this took so long, thank you for your patience, I hope you enjoy ❤️
parings: Ina x mc 
word count: 2.1k (idk how to write short fics tbh) 
taglist: @cloud9in (you’re the only ina stan i know 😭)
Impromptu date
 It had been a few days since you last heard from Ina and you felt like she was ignoring you after the incident on Monday. 
“Way to go Bea, you just had to open your big stupid mouth and make Ina feel uncomfortable” you chastise yourself while you lay on the couch in the dorm alone since Zoey had a date tonight and made a comment about ‘not expecting her home anytime soon’. You carry on ranting to yourself about how much of an idiot you are until your phone buzzes and your heart begins to race when you see Ina’s name pop up. 
Ina 
Meet me here in an hour 
She sends you a map with a red pin drop and you can’t help but feel a little anxious about what Ina’s planning. You feel your palms sweating a bit as your mind goes into overdrive about what to wear and how you’re going to get your makeup done and be where Ina wants you to be in a matter of 60 minutes. Well 59 now. You send Ina a text asking her what you should wear but you only feel more apprehensive when she texts you back. 
Ina 
Don’t overthink, just something simple. 
I will see you soon :)
You run to your room and begin emptying the contents of your closet looking for something that screams casual. You wish Zoey was here with her fashion expertise right now, but you take a second to breathe, trying to slow down your racing heart. 
“It’s just Ina. She’s literally seen you at your worst when you had no sleep for 3 days straight because of midterms. This is fine . All you have to wear is something simple. And to stop talking to yourself when you’re alone.” You scan your closet and decide to wear ripped blue jeans with a cropped hoodie. You put on some basic makeup, remembering to put on your pink lipgloss which drives Ina crazy and then hail a cab to take you to your destination. 
You pay the taxi driver and as you step out you see that you’re at the front of the park and you see Ina standing with a comically large basket in her hand staring at her watch, chewing on her lip. You decide to sneak up on her, covering her eyes with your hands and lifting your chin up a little to whisper in her ear, “guess who?” 
Ina jumps a little but quickly composes herself again, lulled by the lowness and playfulness of your voice. 
“Bea, I’m glad you’re here. Even if you are” she glances down at her watch, “11 minutes late” 
You nudge her shoulder slightly with yours, “well professor, you didn’t really give me much notice and this is the best I could do last minute” you flash her a bright smile and she can’t help but smile back at you. She looks you up and down, appraising your outfit and you do the same to her. She’s wearing jeans for the first time ever, and a tucked in shirt and this might be the most casual you’ve ever seen Ina dress. “You like what you see?” she fiddles with the frames of her glasses, “I wasn’t sure if jeans would still look good on me” 
You bite your lip, “trust me Ina, you look hot” and she blushes in response to your compliment. 
“And you look as beautiful as ever,” her eyes still trailing against your body until she suddenly holds out her hand to you, “shall we?” You warily stare down at her hand, unfamiliar with such intimacy outside of her office. Ina senses your skepticism in taking her hand, and she wiggles her fingers and hums, “it’s okay Bea, it’s just me” she gives you a small smile, her eyes inviting and you lace your fingers with hers. Once you feel the warmness of her hand sweep into yours, all of your insecurities and doubts wipe away and you feel safe as her hand squeezes yours. You begin to follow Ina as she lightly tugs your hand towards the entrance of the park. 
“So….” you nod your head towards the picnic basket in Ina’s other hand, “are you going to tell me what’s in there” 
Ina shakes her head at your inquisitive tone and lightly swings your arms together as you walk through the park. “Haven’t they ever told you patience is a virtue Miss Hughes?” You roll your eyes at her, sparking a glimmer of humour in her eyes, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
You walk for a while through the grass, as the lampposts brighten up your path, moving away from the crowds of people and moving into the more secluded part of the park and you breathe in the crisp air feeling both content but impatient. Finally Ina slows down her walking as you reach the top of a hill that overlooks the rest of the park and she lets go of your hand and moves it towards the very large basket in her hand, taking out a blanket and a set of pillows and carefully organises them and then settles on the blanket, patting the space next to her, “join me?” 
You let out an airy laugh as you settle on the blanket, your leg brushing slightly against Ina’s, and you revel in the sense of comfort you feel, not only from the super comfy blanket and pillows but also from the ease you feel from Ina being by your side and how right it all feels. 
“Wow, Ina I don’t know what to say, this is beautiful” you nod your head, signalling to the rest of the park in which the crowds look so small from your aerial view and the lights almost look like still fireflies, their twinkle almost as bright as the stars in the night sky. 
Ina lets out a small cough before turning to you and taking your hand in hers, “I only want the best for you, I know after what happened on mon-” You pull your hand away from Ina’s and shield your embarrassed face as you let out a groan. 
“Ina, I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have lashed out like that at you. I-” 
Ina raises her hand, her expression looking solemn and the words die out of your mouth, “No Bea, you were right to be angry. I know this relationship between us” she makes a gesture between you and her, “isn’t the easiest burden to carry. The hiding, the stolen moments, I know I ask too much from you. Sometimes I’m still shocked you’ve chosen me since I don’t have much to offer you in terms of dating. I know stealing moments in my office are sometimes not enough, especially since you’re a young woman at college who’s practically throwing away her experience to be with me.” Ina turns away from you, her eyes full of pain, anguish and regret. You reach out and cup her face with your hands, your thumbs brushing lightly against her cheekbones. She averts her gaze from yours, looking down at the ground until you place two fingers under her chin lifting her head until her eyes bore into yours. 
“Ina.. I don’t care about that stuff. I know what I’m sacrificing to be with you, and yet I still choose you every time. I like being with you, even if you are a little boring sometimes” Ina snorts in retort but her lip quirks up a little so you know that she isn’t upset anymore. 
Ina shakes out of her somber contemplation and the small smile on her face shifts into a huge beam, “Well, I think that’s enough depression talk for tonight. Let me show you what I bought”. She ruffles through the basket until she brings out two containers and you grab one squealing with delight, 
“Oh my god Ina you remembered!” you place a chaste kiss on her cheek and open the container, the smell of kung pao chicken infiltrating your nostrils, almost making you drool. 
“Of course I did, it’s your favorite” Ina hands you a pair of chopsticks and you begin to chow down on the food as Ina pulls out a bottle of champagne and pours 2 glasses and places one of them in front of you. “I’m sorry if it’s a little bit cold, it was the last thing I bought but it might’ve gotten cold in the basket.” 
You shake your head, mouth full of food, “Eena iets perwfec,” Ina laughs at you as you quickly finish the food in your mouth, “sorry” 
“Don’t apologize, I admire all of your little quirks no matter how weird some of them may be” her tone dripping with playfulness. 
You gasp, “I have the best idea ever” you pick up a piece of noodle and place one end in your mouth, “we should totally do the lady and the tramp slurp thing” 
“I’m pretty sure that’s only for spaghetti” 
“Come onnnn, it’ll work trust me,” Ina quirks an eyebrow in amusement but obliges with your request putting the other end of the noodle in her mouth. “Okay now go.” You both try sucking hard on the piece of noodle but to no avail it doesn’t move. 
“I told you it won’t work” 
“Yeah, yeah, but would’ve been totally cute if it did though” 
“Maybe this will work instead” Ina fumbles through the basket and brings out a container, “maybe this will bring the romantic ambience you are so desperately craving”. She lifts up the box and you see chocolate covered strawberries and you wrap your arms around Ina giving her the biggest squeeze. 
“Oh my god, this is the best night ever. Here give it to me” she hands you over the box and you open it and take out one of the strawberries. “Let me feed you one”. Ina opens her mouth and you delicately put the strawberry inside her mouth and after she takes a bite you put the other half of the strawberry in your mouth and finish it off before licking your fingers clean. Ina watches you as you wipe away the strawberry juice with your tongue and she shifts slightly in her seat, clearly turned on by what she’s seeing. 
You both feed each other the strawberries and drink the champagne and when the food is finished, Ina packs the rubbish into a plastic bag she brought with her and puts it back in the basket. The wind picks up, making you shiver slightly, but going home is the last thing you want. You lay down on the blanket, placing your head on Ina’s lap and you close your eyes while she lazily plays with your hair. 
“I want to stay like this forever” you hear Ina chuckle before leaning down and placing a sweet kiss on your lips, which tastes of champagne and strawberries and you lean up a little more to prolong the kiss, the tongue invitingly delving into your mouth, and you moan as she bites your bottom lip before sucking on it and then pulling away. 
“I wish we could too, but at least we have tonight.” You lay there, content as the sky darkens more, the stars shining brightly across the sky and you suddenly hear Ina beginning to recite a poem. 
“A moment of happiness, you and I sitting on the verandah, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.” You hum quietly, feeling lulled by Ina’s low voice as she carries on recounting the poem, “We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden's beauty and the birds singing. The stars will be watching us, and we will show them what it is to be a thin crescent moon. You and I unselfed, will be together, indifferent to idle speculation, you and I. The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar as we laugh together, you and I. In one form upon this earth, and in another form in a timeless sweet land.
“Ina” you sit up and stare into Ina’s eyes, the twinkle in them glistening more radiantly than the stars. “That was beautiful” 
“Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi” 
“I’ve never heard of them” 
“He was a poet from the 13th century, but he’s still one of the most famous poets today. I’ve always felt drawn towards that poem specifically and before I wasn’t exactly sure why. But after meeting you Bea Hughes, I’m beginning to understand the true meaning of the poem and the moments we share and how much happiness it brings me.” 
“Crap Ina, you’re going to make me cry” you quickly blink away the tears forming in your eyes and you pull Ina in for a lingering kiss as you spend the rest of the evening wrapping in each other's arms, safe and gratified.

Changing Course Chapter 30) Words as a weapon
.-.-.
As a young boy, Ivar had always envisioned that their Great Hall was the biggest, strongest, and tallest house in the entire world. Its walls were high enough for Giants, and the glorious flames of it’s fireplace always managed to thaw every frozen hand and foot present, without fail. Feasts and celebrations were held; ale and mead flowed heavily, while thralls brought in entire roasted boars. 
Disillusion struck Ivar when he realised his ‘Great Hall’ could easily fit into the ‘Main Hall’ of Castle de Haar. 
As a new rainy day started, the Giant had carried him through the doorway and ordered him to scrub the muddy floor inside. Torches illuminated the hallway, which stood high and mighty. Every stone was even and square, the hall itself was a structure of perfection; made to protect and embosome power and wealth. 
It made Ivar feel like a slimy worm; even if the residents of the castle knew about his royal blood, he’d still be a dirty little heathen, as his ‘Great Hall’ stood closer to the shed he lived in right now. 
He kept his eyes firmly on the floor, as the Giant randomly snuck up on him to check his process. But, occasionally his curiosity got the best of him; every door that opened was a temptation he couldn’t resist. 
One room in particular stood out, it must be the dinner room. Endless oak tables filled it up, under the protection of suits of armour, swords crossed on the walls. Luxurious woven rugs covered the floors, while the candles in tremendous golden chandeliers kept the room lit at all times. 
Ivar took a lot of time scrubbing the doorway leading into the dinner hall, stunned and baffled at how human hands could have created such an immense place. 
It also filled him with bitterness; it was wrong that two fat pigs were rulers of such grandeur and inhuman beauty. It stung him even deeper when he realised Ludolf would eventually rule every corner of every hall. All because of blood.
The Giant half kicked, half shoved him up a twisting spiral staircase. Ivar struggled, but counted a hundred and twenty four steps. And, about six times a massive boot kicking his arse. 
The instructions of the Giant started to become redundant; scrub another hallway. It would have started to become boring, if it weren’t for Ivar being placed in what was now another, much higher, part of the castle. 
And, as it turned out, less supervised, as the Giant didn’t enjoy taking the hundred and twenty four steps up and down. 
The brute still held regular checks, but as Ivar counted the time in between, it gave him triple the amount of time to let his eyes linger and take forbidden breaks. Aside from that, it was very easy to hear the Giant approach; the man weighed a ton and his breathless panting echoed up the staircase about thirty seconds before his hideous face appeared. 
The rooms on this floor weren't as imposing as the dinner hall, yet they still sparked Ivar’s curiosity; although he hated the Christians it was interesting to see how they lived. Many of the doors were closed and Ivar didn’t dare think of opening one up. The few that were an inch ajar, however, were diligently inspected. 
Nothing really stood out, mostly storage rooms, a linen room and one that stank of human waste, Ivar quickly averted himself away from that one. 
Mischievous giggles and chattering reached Ivar’s ears as he slaved through the hallway. It was the sound of a pair of young women. More women than Ivar dared to approach; as a woman already had enough power to make him feel undesirable and ugly, everything up to a pair was simply impossible to face. 
But here, on foreign land, he did have one advantage; the language barrier. Although it would not make their disgusted expressions any less painful, at least any well-aimed spiteful words would pass him. 
That, and the fact that he didn’t think his presence would make much commotion; he was a simple slave after all. Sure, the crippled one that survived forty lashes, but that event happened a winter ago. He was old news, a slave; not the handicapped Viking son. 
Ivar lingered in the doorway and saw the two linen maidens handling a large wooden table loom. One was unknotting a ball of wool, while the other picked out a new color. Both were completely engulfed in their conversation. The topic of which must have been something extremely funny; one giggled loud enough for the entire castle to hear, while the other made exaggerated motions and faces. 
It was enjoyable to watch something so human and careless; a nice chance to observe two young women having a silly conversation. Aside from that, Ivar did enjoy observing the opposite sex. The fact that he couldn’t ‘get it up and please a woman’ did not lessen his interest. The mere existence of young women always felt like a thorn in his eye, though, because he was incapable of interacting with them. Such an experience always summoned up his shame, insecurity, and fire-red cheeks, yet their presence drew him in like  a moth to a flame. 
Women, the embodiment of the one thing he could never have; love. Sex, a relationship. A thorn not only in his eye; but deeply embedded inside of his heart too. Women, seductive but simply out of his reach, for he wasn’t even able to stand next to them, as an equal. No, his place was much closer to the floor. He was beneath women, always looked down upon.
  Someone tapped his shoulder and Ivar darted back in reflex. He had dropped his guard and hadn’t been counting the time in between the Giant’s last visit. Banging his head against the doorframe, he managed to knock the door open, alerting the two linen maidens. 
He managed to make a complete and utter fool out of himself, in less than a second. The opposite sex had that effect on him. 
To absolutely destroy the last bit of his dignity, he realised it had been the fair-maiden who touched his shoulder. 
The silence that emerged instantly changed into loud cackling laughter as the two linen maidens saw Ivar’s wide-eyed, dumbstruck expression, while repositioning himself against the doorframe. 
Even the fair-maiden hid a smile behind her hand and stepped aside of him, taking her place on a stool beside the linen maidens. 
Ivar tried to recollect himself by hastily brushing over the tiles on the floor. When the young women picked up their conversation and included the fair-maiden, Ivar dared to risk a peek. His worst nightmare came true, he was evidently the center of their focus, three pairs of bemused eyes watched his every move. 
Ivar found it wise to retreat and hopefully throw himself out of any available window. Not even that wish was granted, before he could push himself up onto his elbows and crawl away, the fair-maiden raised her hand. 
As a slave, Ivar obeyed her order, although laced with hesitation and confusion.
“Blijf,” spoke the fair-maiden with a lovely voice, “kom bij ons zitten,” and she tapped on a stock of woven blankets. 
Unsure Ivar balanced on the palms of his hands, staring up at each of the three women. Although the linen maiden still wore their bemused smirks, they weren’t laughing at him and the fair-maiden motioned at the blankets again. 
And so Ivar dragged his lower half across the room, sitting aside of the fair-maiden as her lapdog. His self confidence diminished and he kept his gaze in a straight line to the tips of his toes as conversation around him carried on. Nervous Ivar’s fingers plucked at the loose strings of the blankets he sat on.
“Wat is jouw naam?” Suddenly the conversation paused and tried to include him.
Ivar looked back up at the fair-maiden; an unwelcome flush of pink arsing in his cheeks. Now he did hate himself for being too stubborn to learn the basics of Dietsch. 
The fair-maiden noticed his struggle and turned towards the linen maidens: “Badelog,” she extracted her arm towards the blonde, “Duna,” she pointed at the brunette, “Mabelia,” she spoke last and pressed the palm of her hand on her chest. 
“Wat is jouw naam?” 
“Ivar,” his voice was quite, less sure.
“Ivar,” the fair-maiden repeated with her lovely dulcet voice, “Badelog, Duna, Mabelia en Ivar”, she repeated.
Ivar nodded sheepishly as his head got hazy. The three maiden, or Badelog, Duna and Mabelia chattered on, while picking up their craft. It surprised Ivar to see the fair-maiden, or Mabelia, pick up needlework. On the other hand, what fun was there to do inside this enormous castle for a young woman? 
“Hier, maak jezelf nuttig,” Duna directed herself to Ivar and gave him a knot of wool which was all tangled up. 
And so Ivar was set to work, to again do women's work. It beat scrubbing the floors by far. He literally sat high and dry inside the castle, all while quietly listening to three of his peers having a cheerful afternoon. 
This all ended abruptly as the Giant burst into the room, breathing like a mad horse. In his fist he was holding Ivar’s bucket and seemed to light himself on fire the moment he lay eyes on his cripple slave, seated in the midst of three women. 
Ivar automatically dropped the wool and brought his elbows towards his face. Last time the Giant caught him slacking on his duty he’d been thrown down the stairs. The closest stairs had a hundred and twenty four steps; he’d break every bone in his body if he tumbled down all those steps. 
The Giant leaped into action, took hold of Ivar’s collar and dragged him up until the tips of his toes levitated a few inches above the floor.
The two linen maidens cautiously jumped back behind the loom as the Giant raised the bucket and aimed at Ivar’s head. The blow was blunt and viscous, with water seeping over him. Aside from being in serious pain, being struck like this was humiliating and cruel. The Giant shook Ivar’s body until he lowered his arms to give the brute a direct aim at his face. Blood gushed down his nose after the second whack with the bucket and Ivar feared the third might cause him his front teeth. 
That third blow never came and he had to thank the fair-maiden for that. She rose with grandeur and grace, yet her voice turned into ice and anger. 
Without a speck of her usual submissive demeanor she started to fume at the Giant. Even though her frame and length was petite, she stood seven feet tall and seemed to outmatch the Giant in size and power. 
As Ivar hung defenseless in the man’s arm, the bastard seemed to shrink into the size of a mouse, muffling small words of apology to the fair-maiden, the soon-to-be ruler of de Haar. 
Ivar was released, his body sinking back onto the stock of wool, with the Giant’s jaw tightening as he shot Ivara deadpan expression before exiting the room.  
While pinching his bloody nose, Ivar could not believe he wasn’t sent a hundred and twenty four steps down the stairs. 
Comfort in the form of an embroidered handkerchief was kindly gifted, by Mabelia. She had a hard time controlling the tension on her face. She knew her place well, that was evident, but that didn’t mean that claiming her rightful place came naturally to her. Christians had such a strange belief; that women were less than men. Which didn’t make any sense, because although men were able to take life, the power was in the hands of women to create it. Ivar grew up with a strong and powerful example of a woman who ruled with grace and an iron fist.  
Here such women would be tongue tied, broken and overruled by their husband. In de Haar, this was Mabelia’s future, past, and present. 
Ivar pressed the white cotton against his nostrils and curled up a bit to keep the blood from running onto his clothes. 
Duna cleared her throat and soon conversation carried on, as the three young women picked up their daily routine. 
His face stung and all he tasted was blood, but by the Gods did he feel fortunate. Not strong, no, because he’d coward like a small child into the skirts of the fair-maiden. But she’d chosen to take him underneath her wings. She stood up for him, faced the Giant and victored by using words as her weapon.
After his nose stopped bleeding, Ivar dully picked the yarn back up and as he tried to untangle the wires, he also tried to unravel the chaos inside of his own mind. Because how could it be possible that someone of noble blood reached out to a crippled slave? 
At the end of noon Duna walked Ivar back towards the shed. While crawling down the main gate, Ivar spotted the Giant on his knees scrubbing the moss-covered stones of the staircases.  Grinning now would be a death sentence, so Ivar bit the inside of his cheeks to keep his face in shape. But inside he wasn’t just laughing, no, he was towering over that god damned bastard and pissing all over all the steps the Giant needed to scrub. 
.-.-.
Piglet had this sixth sense for destroying all forms of happiness. She must have learned to master that skill by studying the Giant. 
She knew, without a doubt, that Ivar had been inside the castle and when he crawled in with a smirk beaming off his face, her gut instinct must have told her it had something to do with the fair-maiden. 
Or at least with the Giant, because the man didn’t even bother to glance at Ivar as he shackled his slave back up for the night. By the way he slammed the door with all his might it was evident he hadn’t enjoyed taking over Ivar’s task. 
Piglet’s annoying habit of shutting Ivar out emerged. She ignored him and managed to lay an excessive amount of animosity in the few glares she did grant him. 
Right now, Ivar couldn’t care less about his companion’s hostility. For today he’d been the one ‘high and dry’ and learned the Giant’s Achilles heel; the fair-maiden named Mabelia. 
“Mabelia”, Ivar called her name under his breath. It sounded delicate, pure, like a flower. Thoughtlessly, Ivar petted Utstott’s featherless head. The bird had reclaimed his position on Ivar’s shoulder, as the rightful heir. 
Peering sightlessly at the wall facing him, Ivar had his free hand balled up, keeping the handkerchief from Mabelia out of Piglet’s sight. The young woman would either try to smack some sense back into him or retreat back into a seizure, if she knew about the affinity he held for the Christian ruler. 
Maybe he should allow Piglet to strike him, objectively Mabelia was his oppressor. In a world of black and white, it was clear the fair-maiden was the enemy. 
Yet his world started to seep through with specks of grey and very deep down inside, there was a small part of him that couldn’t express it’s delight for spending half a day in the midst of female peers. Without being ridiculed, without being treated like a second-class citizen. Today, he’d simply been Ivar, and that had been enough. 
Ever since the Giant made him a slave at castle de Haar, the foundations of Ivar’s entire being and upbringing had been shaken. The walls he mastered to build up high and mighty had been effectively damaged by feminine touch and care. It had shaken him to the core when he’d come to terms with the fact that he cared for Piglet. It had marked his back; his willingness to die for her. And now, three more female individuals decided to make his miserable life a little less bleak. It made no sense to Ivar, who never saw the thralls in Kattegat as humans, as people. If judgement day would burst through the doors of castle de Haar, if he found a way to burn the place to the ground, would he bring himself to kill those three women as well? They were Christians, for that reason alone they should face decapitation. Ivar yawned and slouched back against the border, ready to face another sleepless night filled with tossing and turning. 
.-.-.
A/N: See Ivar, not all of them damsels are vixens. So, why did I write this chapter? I think because in the TV show all women that surrounded Ivar wanted to use him -we all know who I mean- and all of them betrayed him. Now, without going too much into psychology, it’s hard for a person who’s not familiar with love and affection to make sense of the human need to be kind to another. As in the last bit; Ivar’s whole pov of the world is breaking down. He wants to be a monster, yet experiences that being ‘Ivar’ is accepted as well. Also, I am curious. As a Dutchie myself I added some ‘Dietsch’ in here (kay I will destroy the magic, it's not ancient Dietsch, I wrote in simple plain 2020 Dutch). Since Ivar refused to learn Dietsch he doesn’t understand the words, so I wonder, how clear was it what the women were asking of him? If it’s easier for you all, I can add the translation down here at the A/N, but since it’s Ivar’s POV, I kinda want to let the reader be left a bit in the dark as well. Oh and to calm your angered heart, the Giant will eventually suffer, badly. Xoxoxox Nukyster

Picnic Ask
Ask and ye shall recieve @theaxolotleastofthesun it’s long af tho, so it’s under the cut.
 1.       Where and When is the picnic happening? (Gonna take this as ideal location and season basically)
a.       Milo: Prefers someplace a bit south—warmer than the northern parts of the Eye. Summer in Sun Elf territory would be nice. Not south enough to get jungle-y and humid (Glim can take heat, but draws the line at humidity), but someplace he could retreat to the blessed relief offered by the shade of a scrubby tree and have a good excuse to eat his favorite spicy foods and sweat to cool down.
b.      Glim: as stated above, he doesn’t do well in high humidity. Also not the biggest fan of excessive heat, but will put up with it for Milo’s sake. Were it up to him though, he would prefer an autumn picnic in a cozy shady glen under a still-full canopy of rich reds and violets and sunny yellows. A sigh of crisp wind carrying with it the first hint of winter.
c.       Remmi: Love’s spring, especially when it’s still early. They love the way the fruit trees look while still flowering and the cool, but warming, breeze. They would most enjoy something near water, but with plush green grass still under foot. The Northern Reservoir is well tended, with bright, blossoming bushes hedging cobbled pathways. The surrounding park stretches most of the way ‘round. Remmi would most like a quiet day at the eastern edge—farthest away from the great roaring falls that lead into the canyon. Bonus if there are frogs.
d.      Hani: Loves the dead heat of summer; the feel of warm sun on his skin. A midsummer, late afternoon picnic after a day of splashing around the Southern Sea would be heaven. Sure, the food might get a little sandy, but it wouldn’t stop him from eating and enjoying every second.
2.       What food and drinks do your OCs bring? (you fool! You’re enabling me to indulge my fascination with food culture!)
a.       Milo: Goes all out on the spice—picnic with him at your own peril. He packs extra-hot kimchi, seasoned roasted garlic cloves, Zevi’s falafel recipe, and a few other side dishes that reflect his upbringing by a Southern Dwarf familiar with Halfling food culture. He also gets pretty excited with drinks, bringing three; an iced ginger tea made with turmeric and black pepper, buttercup and honey hwachae (most non-halflings just call it wine even though it’s usually not alcoholic) because he’s (not so) secretly pretty sappy and sentimental, and Baekse-ju to finish off with a good pair for spicy food and just a touch of alcohol.
b.      Glim: Settles for light, seasonal snack foods. He brings a bunch of fresh cut in-season fruit like apples (that yes, he does cut the skins to look like bunnies like his mother used to), a couple loaves of bara brith made with ground dried fruits and nuts served with butter, and a whole basket of pic ar y maen (cookies with raisins and currants mixed in). He brings spiced virgin cider and a fine local white wine to wash it down.
c.       Remmi: As a professional baker, they refused to bring anything but their best to their picnic. They pick finger-food pastries—the best from their eclectic cooking experience and travels. Beignets topped with honey and powdered sugar—in a basket enchanted to keep them fresh and hot and crisp because they take pride in their work. An impressive assortment of petit fors lined up and packed tightly in another container. Muffuletta finger sandwiches with toothpicks holding them together for the more savory inclined guests. And finally some cranberry pastila which they hadn’t made in years and was their way of flexing their baker’s muscles. They pack a thermos of milk tea and an iced chocolate drink.
d.      Hani: not a big cook. He was hoping Senya would do most of the cooking. It’s not like he’s particularly picky about what he ingests. To be polite though, he brings a crock of bamia—a stew with lamb, okra, tomatoes, and onion—that his mother would make on special occasions. He also brings an impressive array of drinks; sugar cane juice, carob juice, tamarind juice, and iced coffee.
3.       What are your OC’s wearing to the picnic?
a.       Milo: Largely his usual sort of outfit. A sleeveless turtleneck, cargo capris, and combat boots. He does add a lightweight cotton shawl embroidered with geese in shades of red that he got as a wedding gift from Lian. He wears it to avoid sunburn, but once in the shade and eating, he carefully folds it and sets it aside so it doesn’t get dirty.
b.      Glim: A cream colored tunic and brown tasseled cardigan over dark blue leggings, simple but sleek black ankle boots, and finished off with a simple sapphire teardrop pendant on a gold chain.
c.       Remmi: they opt for something simple and comfortable, but fitting for the season. They wear a yellow wide-band tank top under an oversized baby pink cable knit sweater. The sweater is so big it slouches off one shoulder, reaches their knees, and the sleeves hide their hands if they aren’t scrunched up at the elbow. They pair that with slim, washed out jeans, and a pair of tan slouchy boots. As one final touch, they don cherry blossom studs in their ears.
d.      Hani: he goes for something sporty and comfy. A loose and flowy off-white sleeveless crop top over a pair of baggy gray-blue shorts held round his hips by a broad and colorful sash and a pair of greek sandals that he discards almost immediately. To add a touch of class—after all this is a fun outing so why not—he wears golden arm bands just above each bicep. Those stay on longer, but they, too, eventually get unceremoniously dumped into the picnic basket in favor of total comfort.
4.       Which OC brings a musical instrument to idly play?
a.       Surprisingly enough, Hani. Remmi knows a little piano and harp, but those aren’t exactly available at a picnic. Milo has never learned an instrument (though he finds guitar interesting). And Glim tried playing, but sucked at just about everything; and anything he could play he couldn’t play in front of others. Hani, on the other hand, randomly knows how to play—and is good at—the oud (which is like an Arab lute). And yes, he does attempt to play Wonderwall on it.
5.       How quickly does your OC realize there are ants trying to sneak into their food? What do they do about it?
a.       Milo: He’s very perceptive, so it doesn’t take long for him to notice. He proceeds to squish them then mix them into his food for “extra protein” without hesitation. Despite knowing that Milo was raised eating bugs and still does fairly regularly, everyone still looks at him like he’s gone insane.
b.      Glim: He picks up on it when someone else points it out. It’s only then that he realizes that he forgot to activate the insect repellent rune. He curses under his breath and apologizes before quickly moving the picnic supplies a few meters away and activating it then.
c.       Remmi: They spend the whole picnic low-key looking out for this. Whenever bugs start walking toward or flying around their precious gourmet picnic, they nonchalantly close all the containers up tight then swat them all away without breaking the conversation.
d.      Hani: he doesn’t notice until one of the ants bites his tongue as he’s eating. He spits that one out because it was mean, but all subsequent ones he eats. And unlike Milo, Hani doesn’t mix them into anything, he just pops them into his mouth.
6.       Which OC hides under the shade at first before being convinced to come out into the sun? How do they react?
a.       Glim hates the heat. If you can manage to convince him to leave the tranquility of shade, he will be a drama queen about it. Really laying it on thick and moaning about how “the sun is a white hot laser” against his “poor fragile flesh” and that if he continues on he will surely “burn up, dry out, and die!” and other such dramatic nonsense. He gets weirdly poetic when he’s frustrated or cranky. Needless to say, Milo has ceased pushing the issue.
7.       Imagine your OCs spending their time picking nearby wildflowers and watching the butterflies and bees at work.
a.       Milo foregoes this particular activity, choosing this time instead to just take in the scenery. He’s scared he might upset a hive or get stung or bitten by something so he’d rather just sit back and soak up the atmosphere.
b.      Glim is carefully rooting around for four leaf clovers under a subdued parasol.
c.       Remmi carefully plucks and cuts an armful of flowers and stems so they can make colorful flower crowns for everyone.
d.      Hani chases the bugs and small animals, not unlike a dog would. But he’s having fun so it’s fine.
8.       Which OC foregoes a picnic blanket and sits directly on the ground? Are they concerned by the grass stains on their clothes afterwards?
a.       Hani doesn’t care where he plants his butt and cares almost as little about stains.
9.       Which OC brings a chair because they can’t stand the thought of sitting on the ground?
a.       Remmi, but a lot of it is because they don’t want to risk getting their clothes too dirty and also because the ground is never as soft and even as you think or hope. So sitting on the ground, even on a blanket, hurts their butt.
10.   Imagine your OCs falling asleep after eating their food, content and happy.
a.       Milo is one of the first to nod off and lays down in the shade. He kicks his shoes off and lets the sun warm his feet while the shade keeps his face cool. He wakes up to groggily help pack everything back up.
b.      Glim doesn’t actually fall asleep. He just sort of zones out while playing with Milo’s hair and enjoying the breeze.
c.       After loading up on carbs, Remmi dozes off in their chair and wake up with a tender sunburn spread across their nose and cheeks. They vow to never fall asleep in the sun like that again, but they make the same mistake next time.
d.      Hanni has seemingly boundless energy throughout the day, which is a bit unusual for him as he often naps a lot when the sun is out, but is wired by the time the moon replaces it. As soon as they’ve packed everything up and are headed home, though, the excitement wears off and he crashes hard. He’s asleep the whole way back.

First Time (reader x virgin!Joe smut)
Pairing: Female reader x Joe Mazzello Summary: You always sit together in class, but your friendship never extended past the four walls of the lecture hall. So, when Joe finally musters up the courage to ask you to hang out, you take your shot. You have pizza, try to watch a movie, and finally show him what he´s been missing out on Warnings: SMUT (18+ only), virgin!Joe, blowjob, premature ejaculation, fingering, pussy eating, unprotected sex, creampie A/N: This is my 2,000 followers celebration! Thank you guys so so much, I don´t know what I would do without you. I love you all! So to thank you, here is some soft virgin Joe smut Word count: 6K
Tumblr media
Gif credit to @mazzelloplots
This is pure filth and you are not allowed to read it if you´re under 18. I will block you if I catch minors interacting with this story.
You met Joe the first proper day of Uni. He had stumbled through the door a few minutes late, spotted the first available seat and made a beeline. Fortunately for you, it was the one next to yours. At first you were annoyed. You had hoped you could get some space, especially since it was first thing in the morning, but when you met his gaze your heart made a little flip. It wasn’t necessarily love at first sight, but he was cute. Very cute. His auburn hair was all messy from him having probably just woken up and there was a hint of some light stubble covering his jaw.
Joe was his name. He didn´t introduce himself so you had to peak at his notepad to find it. Joseph Mazzello.
You didn´t talk the first day, but he gave you a soft smile at the end of the lecture. The next day he asked to borrow a pencil. And after that he asked you for the answer to one of the questions. And then a joke which was actually funny. You could never forget the proud smile on his face when you laughed at it. That and his New York accent.
You always sat together and quickly became good friends. But inside of the classroom only.
“Hey Y/N?”, Joe said when you started packing up your notebook and your laptop. It was a Friday and you were eager to get home. Netflix and the wine in your mini-fridge were calling your name.
“Yeah”, you said, shooting him a smile. A blush crept onto his cheeks. God he was too cute. You were absolutely smitten. It was unfair really.
“I-I wanted to ask you if you uhm- I want to- shit I´m sorry”, he mumbled, eyes panicked.
“Joe! Relax”, you giggled, reaching out to grab his arm. It felt firm under your grasp and you had to properly concentrate on not squeezing to feel his bicep.
“Right. Sorry. Uhm- I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime?”, Joe asked. His eyes met yours momentarily before shying away and staring at his feet.
“I would love to, Joe”, you said, a stupid smile plastered on your face. You scribbled your dorm number down on a piece of paper and put it in his hand. “Come around mine tonight at 8”
You walked home with a spring in your step. It wasn´t a date, or maybe it was, but at least it was a start. You really liked him. Whether or not he liked you too was a mystery though. He might just be shy around everyone, right? You hadn´t really see him talk to anyone else, but he answered lots of questions in class and often made them funny. It was strange really how he could go from being the class clown to struggle to ask you one simple question.
You decided to not dwell on it further and unlocked the door to your dorm. There was a note on your side of the room from your roomie. She was going home for the weekend. Thank god. Not that you didn´t like her but it was so refreshing to have the room completely to yourself. Also, it meant that you and Joe wouldn’t get interrupted.
Deciding you were going to order pizza for when Joe came over, you just popped a few slices of bread in the toaster and decided that would have to do for now. You picked up your dirty clothes and made the room all pretty. You didn´t want him to see how messy you really were. At least not right away.
There was a knock at the door at exactly 8pm. Ok this was happening. You felt your pulse increase. You looked over your room one final time. The pillows and blankets on your bed looked very inviting next to your open laptop with Netflix on.
“Hi”, you said when you swung the door open. Joe had put on a sweater that made him look so soft. And cute.
“Hey, Y/N”, Joe answered. He gave you a lopsided smile and took a step into your room. You could see him taking it in, making you oddly nervous.
“So, do you want to watch a movie? I have ordered a pizza for us”, you said, plopping down onto the bed. It wasn´t the biggest bed, but it could fit two people if necessary. And it just meant that you had to sit closer which you definitely weren´t complaining about.
“Oh I thought we were going to study”, Joe said. A pink blush rushed up his cheeks as he gestured to his bookbag.
“It´s a Friday night, Joe”, you giggled, waving him over. “Come here you nerd”
Joe gave you a nervous smile and dropped his bag before heading over to you. It really was a bit of a squeeze to fit you both. You could feel warmth radiating from his thigh over to yours and the way his arm felt firm against yours.
“What do you want to watch then?”, he asked, desperately trying to ignore the tension in the air. You always sat together, just never this close.
“What about this one?”, you said, pointing to the thumbnail of a horror movie. You could feel Joe tense up next to you.
“Uhm what about a comedy instead?”
“Oh don´t tell me you´re scared, Joe”, you laughed. “I´ll protect you don´t worry”
Joe sighed and let you start it.
You regretted it after about 30 minutes because you were both scared shitless. Joe was biting down on his nails, trying to avoid looking at the screen but at the same time not wanting you to know how scared he actually was.
When the main character was chased down a hallway by a guy with a chainsaw, you closed the computer. Not exactly the type of mood you wanted to set.
“Let´s not watch that anymore”, you said, throwing it to the side. You turned to Joe just in time to watch him let out a sigh of relief. The look on his face almost making you melt.
“What should we do instead?”, he asked.
Your eyes fell on his lips as he spoke, and you could immediately feel the tension turn into lust. This was your chance. You could just ask him and get it over with. If he didn’t like you back then fuck it, you could probably get over him. But you needed to know.
“We could kiss”, you suggested, your voice barely above a whisper. But Joe caught it though. His eyes went wide as he stared at you, his mouth falling open slightly. Shit.
“I mean it´s just an option, we don´t have to if you don´t want to. I get it if you only see me as a friend”, you mumbled rapidly. Shit you had messed up.
“No no, I-I want to”, Joe said after a while, taking your hands in his. His long fingers wrapped around your palms, his thumb soothing the skin. It felt warm. The butterflies in your stomach went crazy.
You closed your eyes and leant in, drawing in a breath as you felt his warmth when you moved closer. You stopped just before your lips met his and stopped, wanting him to take the final step. He did. Joe closed the distance between you and pressed his lips to yours. They were soft. Slightly chapped. A wave of warmth spread across your entire body, making your heart flutter.
The kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door. Shit. The pizza.
Joe pouted when you pulled back, his lips pink and puffy. You couldn´t resist. You leant in and pressed another peck to his mouth before moving off the bed. He shifted in his seat and ran his fingers through his hair. Trying to take a deep breath to compose himself.
As soon as you opened the door you could smell the delicious pizza. You hadn´t realized just how hungry you were before now.
“Pizza for Y/N”, the delivery girl said, giving you a kind smile.
“Yes, thank you so much”
You fished out the money along with some tip and thanked her again as she handed you the pizza.
“Smells so good”, Joe said as you closed the door. You half- groaned in agreement and made your way over to him. You sat the pizza down between you and sat crossed legged in front of him.
“So you actually intended this to be a study-date?”, you asked, taking a slice into your mouth and moaning at the taste. It was delicious.
“To be completely honest, I just brought them because I didn´t want you to think that I thought it was a date-date”, he said, blushing.
“Aw you´re so cute, Joe”, you giggled, nudging his knee with your own. “I wanted it to be a date-date”
Joe nearly choked on his pizza. His eyes went wide.
“Really?”, he questioned.
“Of course! I like you, Joe. Why did you think I kissed you?”, you gushed. The deep-red blush that painted his cheeks were enough to have you swoon.
“I don´t know, I haven´t really uhm- I haven´t really kissed that many girls”, Joe admitted. He looked away as he spoke, picking up another slice of pizza and eating it in three large bites. Yep. He was definitely from New York.
“I don´t care, Joe”, you said, giving him a grin once he finally met your eyes again, “And for the record, I couldn´t tell”
“Oh. Well that´s good I guess. Thank you”, he said, wiping his hands on his thighs. Joe paused for a second to look up at you. He seemed nervous all of a sudden again. “Do-does that mean we can do it again?”
“Mhm”, you smiled, moving the half-empty pizza box out of the way. You perched yourself on your knees and leant in. Joe met you on the half-way, his lips melting against yours. You could feel your stomach churn with excitement, his slight stubble igniting the tingles in your panties.
Joe had apparently gotten a surge of confidence, because he pushed his tongue into your mouth, his hands grasping your sides and pulling you into his lap. A gasp left your mouth as you felt the bulge under your crotch. You placed your legs on either side of his body and deepened the kiss. Your hands slid around his head to pull at the hair in the nape his neck, causing Joe´s mouth to fall open against yours.
You took the opportunity to trail your lips across his jaw and down to nibble at his ear lobe. Joe´s grasp on your waist tightened.
“Do you like that, Joe?”, you cooed, pulling at it with your teeth. His breath stifled in his throat.
You smirked against his skin, moving your lips down to suck at his pulse-point. You took his fair skin into your mouth, marking him up. A strangled moan escaped his mouth.
You pulled back to eye your masterpiece, a smirk pulling at your lips at the light purple bruise.
Joe looked absolutely fucked out. His eyes were hooded in pleasure and his lips puffy from kissing. A thin layer of sweat covering his forehead. Huh. Already. That was quick. This was going to be fun.
You made a tentative thrust of your hips, dragging your clothed heat over his crotch. Joe´s eyes shot open in surprise, his fingers digging into your sides. He was already rock hard.
“You´re so hard already”, you said, cocking your head. You grinded down again, seeing his breath hitch in his throat. A vein popping out on his forehead.
“Shit I´m so sorry, Y/N”, Joe said. He tried half-heartedly to push you away. “I-I uhm, I can´t. Fuck I can´t control it”
You giggled at his innocence. God he was cute. So innocent.
“There´s nothing to be sorry about, Joe. I´m flattered”, you said, leaning in to give him a quick peck on the lips.
You slid your hands down his chest to pull at his sweater.
“I need you to stop me if you don´t want to do this. If you´re not comfortable then we won´t do anything”, you warned, tapping your fingers against his skin.
Joe´s eyes went even wider as he desperately shook his head. He grabbed your hands and pushed them further down towards his crotch. A yelp left his mouth as your fingers grazed over his erection when you were grabbing his shirt.
“Fucking hell”, Joe muttered under his breath, leaning forward to let you pull the sweater off his body. His chest was lightly littered with hair, his pecks and stomach soft.
“I love your body, Joe”, you cooed. You leant down to press your lips to his chest, your fingers sliding down his torso to rest against the waistline of his jeans. His cock was straining against the material, his pulse increasing as you were inches away from where he found himself so desperately wanting you.
“Please”, he whined, hips thrusting up to meet your touch.
You giggled and moved your body down his thighs. You reached out to play with the button of his jeans, letting your fingers graze lightly over his bulge.
“Please what, Joe?”, you teased, looking up to meet his desperate eyes.
“Can you please touch me, Y/N? I need it so bad”, he begged.
You hummed in amusement before leaning down. You pressed your lips against the soft curves of his stomach while your fingers popped the button of his jeans. Joe´s tummy was rising and falling rapidly under you, small whimpers leaving his mouth as your fingers grazed his cock while sliding the zipper down. You looked up at him to check if you could keep going before moving your lips down. Placing a kiss on the waist-band of his briefs, his cock twitched in anticipation just below where you were touching him.
There was a small dark stain on the material where the head of his cock laid. He was visibly throbbing, causing your mouth to water.
You hooked your fingers into the waist of his jeans and boxers and tugged at them. His cock was pressed down as you pulled the material down his thighs, before springing up and hitting his stomach with a loud thud. It was heavy and large, a prominent vein running up the underside. The head glistening with pre-cum.
Joe looked down at you with lust in his eyes, his hands gripping the sheets beside his body.
“Your cock is so pretty, Joe”, you cooed, reaching out to run a finger all the way down his shaft. You pressed against the vein, watching as it twitched underneath you. Joe cursed underneath his breath, biting down on his bottom lip.
“I uh- Shit I have to tell you something”, Joe said, grabbing your hand to stop you from touching him again. You cocked your head, giving him a sweet smile. You had a sneaking suspicion what he was going to tell you, but you needed to hear him say it.
“Go ahead”, you said, squeezing his hands.
“This is really embarrassing but I feel like you need to know, this is my first time. Ever. Like, doing anything”, he said, eyes fleeting away from yours. A deep red blush crept onto his cheeks and chest. Hmm. Yep. That´s what you thought.
“It doesn´t matter to me, Joe. As long as you want to keep going, I want to too”, you said. You tapped the back of his hands to force him to look at you.
“God I want to”, Joe moaned, letting go of your hands. He drew in a sharp breath when you placed them on his hips. Just beside his throbbing cock. “I just want you to know that I don´t really know what I´m doing. Everything I know is from porn”
You giggled and leant up to press a kiss to his lips. Mostly to stop his rambling but also because he was really cute and awkward right now. Joe moaned softly into your mouth, his lips following you as you pulled away. His eyes closed. Wanting more. And that was exactly what you were going to give him.
“I´m going to take such good care of you, Joe. Just sit back and relax”, you whispered, moving down his body again.
You caught his eyes as you leant down. You blew hot air onto the head of his cock, humming in amusement as it jumped. Joe´s knuckles were already going white from how hard he was fisting the sheets.
“Ready?”, you asked, ghosting your lips over his tip.
“Please”, Joe whimpered, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth.
You smirked before licking a bold stripe from the base of Joe´s cock all the way to the tip. It jumped up to meet your mouth as your tongue swirled the string under the head. A steady stream of salty pre-cum leaked from the slit, and Joe yelled out in pleasure when you licked it all up.
You wrapped your hand around the base before pursing your lips and slowly taking the head into your mouth. It felt warn and soft, the salty taste covering your lips.
“Fuck that feels- oh my god I can´t believe this is happening”, Joe rambled, thrusting his hips to meet your touch.
You squeezed his shaft harder and hummed around the tip, letting your tongue press against the underside of the head. Your eyes were locked on his as you took him further into your mouth, sucking just a little bit harder until- oh. A salty liquid shot out of the slit, coating your mouth and causing you to lift an eyebrow. Ok. That was fast.
“Shit I´m so sorry I couldn´t- oh my god ah it feels so good”, Joe moaned. His back arched off the wall, his hips moving up against his mouth as he emptied himself. His cock throbbed in your hand as you guided him through his high, milking out every last drop of cum.
You pulled off him and sat down on his thighs again, opening your mouth to show him his own load. Joe´s eyes were droopy as he watched you swallow, cursing under his breath when you opened it again. All gone. The salty liquid slid down your throat.
“Hmm, I´d appreciate it if you warned he next time”, you said, a playful smirk pulling at your lips. You reached up to wipe the sweat off his forehead before pressing your lips to it. You moved off his lap and sat down next to Joe, pulling out the pizza and reaching for a slice. Cum wasn´t something you wanted to taste for much longer.
“I´m really sorry, Y/N. I didn´t mean to do that it just felt too good and I tried to hold back but I couldn´t and fuck I´m sorry I didn´t want to ruin this”, Joe rambled, pulling a pillow into his lap to cover his softening cock.
You giggled and offered Joe the last slice, grinning when he looked up at you for a split second before grabbing it. He groaned slightly at the delicious taste. He needed the energy.
“It´s fine, Joe. It happens. I just need you to tell me when you´re close so I can stop or slow down”, you said.
“I´m sorry”, Joe repeated. He threw his head back against the wall in embarrassment. His Adam´s apple bobbed when he swallowed the pizza.
“We´ll work on it. There´s no need to apologize”, you smiled, nudging his knee with yours. “But first, I´m going to enjoy this pizza”
“So we can try that again?”, Joe asked. He bit off another piece of the pizza, his eyes trained on where you did the same. They darkened as you licked your lips.
“I was thinking we could try something else, but yeah. If you want to of course”
A grin spread over his face, his lips curling around the food inside his mouth.
“I want to. Very much so. I´m not sure I can go again right away though”, Joe said. He swallowed the last piece of his pizza.
“I know. That´s why we´re having a pizza break. And, I also need you to get me ready first. That cock of yours won´t fit inside if you don´t”, you said, smirking when you saw Joe´s eyes grow wide. His gaze fell on your boobs before trailing down to your covered heat.
“Uhm do you want me to? Can I touch you? There?”, he stuttered, eyes meeting yours again. You chuckled before wiping your mouth. Joe drew in a harsh breath when you wrapped your hands around his neck and pulled him towards you, removing his pillow in the process.
You laid down on the bed and pulled him with you, wrapping your legs around his naked waist. His teeth clenched against yours as he settled himself between your legs, both of you giggling into the others mouth. Joe tasted like pizza. Delicious.
“Ca-can I?”, Joe muttered against your lips, whining as his sensitive cock grazed against your inner thigh. He slid one of his hands down your side to your waist, squeezing slightly before moving down to the hem of your shirt. His fingers felt warm on your skin.
“Of course, you can”, you said. You lifted your back off the mattress to allow Joe to slide the material off your body. He drew in a harsh breath when he saw your boobs in that lacy bra you had put on – just in case.
“Do you like it, Joe?”, you teased, smirking at the way he couldn´t pry his eyes away from your chest. “Or-“, you trailed your hand down your own neck, over your boobs before sliding back to the clasp of your bra. “Would you rather me take it off?”
“Off, definitely off”, Joe rambled. His eyes met yours for a brief second before they fell on your boobs again as you unhooked it. You shuddered as air hit your stiff nipples.
You grabbed Joe´s hand and slid it up your body, your fingers urging him to squeeze. He did. Ever so slightly, as if he was afraid he would hurt you. You giggled and moved his hand, pinching his fingers over your nipple. You arched into his touch, a low moan falling from your lips. This gave Joe some confidence apparently, because he looked up to gauge your expression before pulling at the nub a little. Another moan.
“Your hands are so big Joe”, you whined, squirming under his touch, “Feels so good”
“Can I kiss them?”, Joe asked, subconsciously leaning down. As if there was a magnet between his face and your boobs.
You nodded, burying your fingers in his auburn hair, urging him closer. His lips met the soft curve of your breast, his breath hot on your sensitive skin. Joe looked up at you as he moved his lips, pressing a kiss to the area just beside your nipple. His hand cupping the other breast. You could feel his cock harden against your leg, his hips moving against yours on reflex.
Joe hesitated for a moment before wrapping his lips around your nipple. He flicked his warm tongue over the nub before sucking it into his mouth. You moaned and pulled at his hair, feeling tingles go straight to your heat. Absolutely drenching your panties.
“I-I´m going to need you to move on, Joe. Feels way too good”, you whined, pushing him away from your chest. You were throbbing with need.
“Really?”, he asked, a confident smirk playing on his lips. Well, at least until he looked down your torso to your still clothed bottom half. “You´re uhm- You´re going to have to tell me what to do”
“Don´t worry, I´ll guide you through it”, you said with a smile, pulling him up for a kiss before grabbing a pillow and propping it under your torso so you could see down on your lap. “Start by taking my jeans off”
Joe nodded, scooching down and reaching up to unbutton your jeans. He pulled the zipper down while holding his breath, eyes going wide as he saw the matching lace panties you had put on.
You lifted your hips to let him hook his fingers into the waistband. Joe´s eyes nearly bulged out of his head as you told him to take your panties off to, inch by inch of your bare pussy exposed to him as he pulled them down his legs.
“Fucking hell”, Joe whined, desperately trying not to palm his cock as you were naked in front of him. You spread your legs, watching him draw in a harsh breath.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”, you asked. Joe nodded frantically before plopping down on his stomach between your legs. Oh. His head was really close. You could feel his hot breath.
“Definitely”
“Ok, uhm do you want to use your mouth or just your fingers?”, you asked, not really knowing how much you were going to teach him the first time.
“Both”, Joe said. He was determined, you had to give him that. Ok then.
“Eager, are we?”, you giggled, reaching down to run your thumb over his lip. He pressed a kiss to it, shooting you a wink. “Push your middle finger into me, yeah, right there”
Joe´s finger felt amazing sliding against your walls, your breathing already increasing.
“Oh god”, you whined, throwing your head back. “Another one. Curl them upwards”
He nodded before sliding his ring finger in as well. His digits were thick, strong. God you swear you could have cum right then and there. A rush of pleasure shot up your body as he curled them, somehow hitting your g-spot at the first try. You drew in a sharp breath and reached down to stop his hand, keeping his hand in place until you had calmed down just a little bit. Your chest rising and falling.
“What´s wrong?”, Joe asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
“Nothing. I just need a moment”, you said, breathing heavily. God how was he this good without even having any experience?
Joe grinned, obviously proud of himself.
“Uhm, ok if you want to, you can start kissing the inside of my thighs. Just keep your fingers still for a little while”
“Ok. I can do that”, Joe said. He leant down to press his lips to the apex of your thighs. Oh. That was nice. A rush of electricity shot up your body. Goosebumps forming on your skin. Joe´s stubble rubbing in the most delicious way possible.
“Yeah that feels very good”, you moaned, trying not to move your hips too much “Just keep kissing. Do you know where the clit is?”
“Here?”, Joe asked, pressing a kiss to the hood of your clit. A gasp left your mouth. Yep. That was it. You nodded, earning a cocky grin from Joe. He pressed his lips against it, adding a little more pressure.
“Fucking hell. I uhm- just keep kissing my clit, take turns licking too. I don´t know, my brain doesn´t seem to be working right now. I´ll tell you if it feels weird”, you rambled on, feeling the vibrations from Joe´s chuckle through your body. Your neck almost cramping up with how hard you were straining to look.
“Oh ok. Like this?”, Joe asked, flicking his tongue over the sensitive nub. Your walls clamped down on his fingers, already feeling the knot in your stomach start to tighten.
Joe took your loud moan as a yes and kept going. He alternated between flicking his tongue over your clit in fast moves, pressing small kisses to it and the surrounding areas in between.
“You taste really good. I haven´t tasted anything like it”, Joe mumbled, his words almost muffled by your pussy. “And I can´t actually believe I´m doing-“
“Less talking more licking, Joe”, you said, growing inpatient. You were so close.
“Right. Sorry”, he giggled, leaning back down. “Do you want me to move my fingers again?”
“God yes. Just rub them against the front”, you instructed, gasping when Joe did just that. He watched in awe as you threw your head back in pleasure. Your orgasm was rapidly approaching, the tight knot almost becoming unbearable as Joe wrapped his lips around your clit again. He sucked it into his mouth while working your g-spot with his fingers.
Short puffs of air were leaving your lungs as you inched closer and closer to your high. Joe´s surprisingly skillful fingers urging you forward. His hips grinding into the mattress, the view of him all fucked out and with his lips wrapped around your clit almost too much to bear.
“I-I´m going to, holy fuck- I´m going to cum”, you whined, tugging at his hair even harder. Your fingernails digging into his scalp.
Joe nodded against your heat, sucking your clit harder, rubbing your g-spot faster. There was no way you were going to be able to hold back. Your orgasm washed over you like tidal wave, almost knocking all the air out of your lungs. It felt like a rubber band snapped in your pussy, your walls clenching around his digits, clit twitching in Joe´s mouth.
He watched intently as you came down, fingers guiding your through your high.
“Oh my god you- shit it´s too much”, you half yelled, pulling his face away from your heat. Joe apologized, pressing a soft kiss to the inside of your thigh before retracting his fingers. He brought them to his lips and licked them clean, earning a groan from the bottom of your throat.
“That was so hot, Y/N”, Joe mumbled, looking down at how wet you were. How your clit was still twitching with aftershocks. His cock begging for attention.
“You´re good at that, Joe. Are you sure you haven´t done it before?”, you giggled, pulling him up to your face. His lips tasted faintly of your juices, his hard cock digging into your thigh.
“Positive”
“Are you sure you want to do this? We can stop here if it´s getting too much”, you said, running your fingers along his jaw.
“I really want to, Y/N. I´m so fucking hard again”, he half-wined.
“Hmm, I can feel that. Do you have any condoms?”
“Yeah hold on”, Joe said, scrambling out of the bed. He walked over to where his jeans were discarded and reached for his wallet. There was a deep flush covering his chest and face, his cock standing at full attention. Red and dripping with pre-cum.
“Shit”, he mumbled, reading the label of the condom he fished out. “It´s out of date”
Joe went bright red, desperately wishing he had just said he had none.
“God you´re so cute, Joe”, you giggled, making grabby hands at him, “I already know you´re a virgin, I´m not going to judge you. Besides, I´m clean so we can go without if you want to? If not, you´re going to have to run to the store”
“Really? Holy shit I want that”, Joe groaned, his cock twitching in anticipation. He made his way over to you, positioning himself between your legs again.
“Just slide in whenever you´re ready, and then let me adjust for a few seconds, ok?”, you asked, running your fingers up and down his arms to try and calm his nerves. Joe nodded, grabbing his cock and running it through your folds. You shuddered at the sensation.
He looked down as he pushed in, watching your pussy swallow him inch by inch. Your juices slicking him up and allowing him to slide in easily. He let out a loud groan as he bottomed you out, his head falling into your neck.
You tried to remain composed, knowing that you were the one who was supposed to be experienced, but it just felt so good. He filled you up just right, your walls clenching around him as you adjusted. Stretching you in a way that sent goosebumps over your entire skin, tingling with pleasure. You wrapped your arms around him, digging your nails into his fair skin.
“C-Can I move? I don´t know how much longer I can hold it”, Joe moaned, his hip stuttering slightly. The mere feeling of your walls contracting around him enough to push him right up to the edge.
“Y-yes”, you said, feeling Joe pull back the second the words left your mouth. He moaned into your neck as he pushed back inn, feeling your warm pussy engulfing him. The wetness creating an obnoxious sound, filling the room.
Joe´s back was sweaty and hot under your fingertips. He sped up slightly, his breathing increasing.
“A-are you close?”, you asked, wrapping your legs around his waist. It allowed him to go even deeper, Joe´s hips stuttering.
He nodded into your neck, not trusting his words. He made the mistake of looking down to see your wet pussy wrapped around his cock, causing a desperate yelp to leave his mouth.
“Slow down, Joe”, you said, wanting this to last longer even though you knew it wouldn´t. You wish you could spend the entire evening like this. Joe´s cock buried deep inside, nudging you towards your high with every thrust. Pleasure filling your entire body. 
“I-I”, he tried, whimpering, “I can´t hold it. I´m gonna cum”
You clenched around him, feeling his cock twitch inside. 
“Holy shit that doesn´t help, Y/N”, Joe moaned, closing his eyes as he tried to hold back. 
Joe was moaning into your neck, his hips moving against yours at a frantic pace. His balls felt heavy, your walls practically forcing his orgasm out of him.
“It´s ok, Joe. You can cum. Cum for me”, you urged, pushing him further inside with the heels of your feet.
Joe stilled as you pushed him over the edge, spurt after spurt of hot cum shooting out to coat your walls. He bit down on your shoulder, trying to conceal the high-pitched whine that wanted to leave his throat.
You stroked his back through his high, feeling his body go limp after he was done. He slumped down on your chest. His softening cock resting against your inner thigh, his cum sticky against your skin. Not to mention the puddle that was currently sliding out of your pussy.
“You´re not a virgin anymore”, you giggled, running your fingers through his hair. He giggled against his skin before pressing his lips to your neck.
“Thank you. Should I be thanking you? I feel like I´m high right now. That was so fucking good I can´t believe how amazing it was. You were so tight and so wet and so oh god I just loved it”, Joe mumbled. He pulled back and rested his chin on your chest, looking up at you. His hair matted to his forehead. His cheeks red.
“There´s no need to thank me. I wanted to Joe. Remember, I was the one who invited you over”
“Right.. did you cum too?”, he asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
You smiled, reaching down to move his hair out of his face.
“No, but it doesn´t matter. I wasn´t expecting too”, you said, completely honest.
“Was it that bad?”, Joe questioned, but the tone in his voice gave away the fact that he didn´t really want to know the answer.
“No”, you giggled, “I don´t have to cum for it to feel good. You did good. I´m not complaining”
“Oh ok. I can eat you out again if you want to?”, he suggested.
“Relax, Joe. We have the entire weekend. We can go again later”, you giggled. You leant down to press a quick kiss to his lips.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. Let´s get cleaned up and watch another movie and if we still feel like it, we can go again”, you said with a smile.
“I´d like that”
“Good. Maybe this time you will warn me before shooting your cum down my throat”, you teased, pushing him off you and heading for the bathroom to get cleaned up.
“Hey! You told me it was fine”, he protested. You turned around to give him a wink before turning the corner. Joe did the next time. And the time after that.

Lacuna | Seo Changbin
Tumblr media
✧  lacuna - a blank space; a missing part
✧ Genre: Fantasy!au, fluff, cutie changbinnie
✧ Summary: as a little girl, you absolutely adored horses - but one day, you’re thrown off of one in the middle of a race, leaving your legs crippled. when your parents finally muster up the courage to ask ylanta’s court wizard for help, you end up being stuck inside a palace with no one to talk to - except the cute stableboy that just won’t leave your side.
✧ Word Count: 2.3k
✧ PSA!! this installment is a bit more serious in a sense; while i’ll let you find out what I mean for yourself, please know that this piece can potentially hit home for many of us in the world in regards to loving yourself and finding happiness outside of whatever might be holding you down in life
✧ Other installments in the series: woojin, chan, jeongin, hyunjin, minho, jisung, felix, seungmin
                                         ✧
the country-side land known as grimsby had been the place you’d grown up in, and much like the other kids, you were raised around farms and livestock
rather than worrying about the length of your nails or the cleanliness of your dapper shoes, you strode over to your family’s farmhouse and helped pile bales of hay onto a makeshift wagon so your mother could tow the yellow bales to the livestock
you owned one pair of boots that looked normal and tattered, splashed with long-since dried mud and other substances found on the common farm
except, your family had been running the quaint farm for centuries; in fact, whenever they would go out riding through town, the harness and saddle of whatever horse they were using was always painted the two colors of your family emblem: a dainty green and pigmented gray
honestly you could have cared less about the family business, you simply cared for the horses
the pigs were damn cute, of course, but they never seemed to get along with you
and sure the sheep were soft as pillows, but they screamed at you whenever you walked past their pasture
meanwhile the grazing horses let you stroke their manes and clean their bodies, not once flinched or shying away from your demeanor, which is why you simply adored them
then came the month of ayrith, where the royal family and other special guests from all over the country would travel to grimsby to watch what was called the greatest sporting event in the entire country
from endurance runs to throwing barrels full of flour across the field, all of the events were entertaining and made for some friendly competition
the biggest event of them all, however, was the horse-race
one representative from each family in the town could participate in the race, although the scary part is that everyone in grimsby took this particular race very, very seriously
including your parents
both of your mothers (your father is a case we won’t speak of, the conniving twit-) were dead set on having you make your racing debut this year, as in two years time, ylanta would be hosting an even bigger racing competition with the bordering countries
so it was likely that whoever won this race would be chosen to represent the whole country in the next two years
which was nerve-wracking, to say the least
you had grown up around horses, obviously, and held a natural bond with the stunning creatures that you could’ve flaunted all day
except... you’d never properly rode on one
your mothers refused to listen to your concerns the day of the race, and the days before that, saying that you were such a natural that you would have no problems competing (which was by far the most idiotic thing you had ever heard, but you were younger, more easily influenced by the talk of your dear mothers, hence why you didn’t doubt them... sort of)
when it came time to mount your horse, who’s name was redwick, you just barely managed to pull your body up onto the saddle
maybe you would be fine after all
you knew there was no possible way you could win, having no racing experience beforehand; but you were eager to see other racers in action just feet away from you
you kept reassuring yourself of this as you were led to the starting line, redwick not making a noise of complaint the entire time
even as the whistle went off in the background you kept saying that everything would be alright - even as redwick started to trot at a faster pace than you expected
then he started to go too fast, and you were nearing a sharp turn
you tried to stop him, or at least make the horse slow down, to no avail
you just didn't know what to do
you were helpless
the second you hit the curve you were thrown off of his back, your hands slick with a nervous sweat so that you were unable to cling to the reigns
with a sickening thump you hit the ground, the lower part of your back completely and utterly numb at the harsh impact
you could still hear the faint screams of the concerned audience, the worried shouts of another racer who showed good sportsmanship in falling behind to help you up
you remembered everything
those retched nightmares haunted you each night after that, even as another three years passed by like a ticking timebomb
“now, sweetheart,” one of your mother’s began to speak quietly, causing you to glance over at her blankly, “once we arrive at the palace, we are going to go speak with the court wizard about your legs. you have already been given permission to roam around, just don’t try to sneak upstairs into their chambers, alright?”
“yeah, sure.” you brushed off her sickly sweet tone with a roll of your eyes, going back to staring outside the window of your carriage, watching as the people of the capital giggled and ran around without a care in the world
you missed that feeling of utter freedom, the feeling of being able to dip your toes into the sticky brown mud after a rainstorm, or the feeling of being able to pop the joints in your legs even after being scolded about it by your mothers
you would give anything to be able to walk again
within another few minutes the carriage has slowed down to a complete halt just inside the palace walls, having been taken over a bridge of sorts
the sliding door opened, revealing a boy who couldn’t be much older than yourself, one hand held nervously out to you while the other rested on the handle of what seemed to be a makeshift wheelchair
“miss y/n, correct?” he asks softly, his voice carrying a hint of natural roughness. after your nod of confirmation he gently helps you down from the carriage and into the wheelchair, which has a plush pillow meant for your own comfort
“alright babygirl, we’ll come find you after the meeting,” one of your mothers hums lovingly, leaning down to peck the top of your head while the other scrunches her nose and looks away from your pitiful form, stuck in the wheelchair, “be careful.” and with that, they’re gone, following a pair of guards clad in red armor into the castle
you tilt your head to look back at the boy who had assisted you into the wheelchair, “what’s your name, shorty?”
“changbin - my name is changbin - and please don't call me that.” he pleads in an exasperated tone, making you snicker quietly in amusement
“so, changbinnie, where can a cripple girl get some food around here?” you ask him nonchalantly, expecting him to flinch at your self-deprecating joke, though he instead playfully rolled his eyes and set his hands firmly on the handles of your wheelchair and swiftly whisked you around towards the entrance of the castle
“where anyone else can find some decent food in this place, y/n - to the royal kitchen!” he let out a giggle as he started to push you inside, your lips parted in a shriek when he continues to pick up the pace and whisk you away into the wonderous castle
this keeps going for quite some time; changbin, who you learned was the resident stableboy, would recklessly whisk you away to different parts of the castle at any given time of the day - or night
of course, him being tasked as the one to help you around each day in the castle didn’t exactly help the situation either
not that you wanted it to be any different
because for once you weren’t being given pitiful looks or being treated like a porcelain doll; you were already cripple, anyway, so you personally didn't see the big deal in letting you have fun for once
and by fun, you meant changbin waking you up in the wee hours of the morning, wheelchair in tow as he helped you get dressed (which wasn’t even a big deal in itself, as you wore underwear that resembled shorts, so he couldn’t even try to see anything more than the already exposed skin)
he would take you anywhere and everywhere, even though you knew you could wheel yourself around
a couple of weeks had passed since you had arrived at the palace, but still there was no promising words coming from the court wizard named minho
he was a high elf skilled in magic of all areas imaginable, but he had never dealt with someone who had no further feeling in their legs
even he couldn't offer any surefire results
while you probably would’ve had a fit about it ages ago, you found that you could still be yourself and do the things you loved without the feeling in your legs
if you wanted to go to the market, changbin was there to push you along the sandstone paths through the bustling crowds, politely asking for someone who got too close to back away before they could accidently hurt you
or if you wanted to swim in the lake behind the palace, which was technically forbidden, changbin was right by your side, attaching a pair of floating devices he had minho conjure the night before onto your arms to make it easier for you to float
within a matter of a few weeks the self-titled ‘dark’ stableboy had become someone you depended on - someone you indefinitely needed by your side
whenever he would take you out to the palace garden, lunch in hand, he would make sure to place a red and white blanket on the ground and voluntarily help you sit up on the fluffy material, placing a pillow on the back of your wheelchair so you could lean against it properly
he would hand you a haphazard attempt of a sandwich and a glass of lemonade, blushing each time you playfully teased him on his poor skills in the kitchen
still you would eat anything he made for you for lunch, all because he made it
seo changbin, the stableboy who had been by your side the entire time
then came the day you had forgot about - hell you never expected it to even happen at this point
“y/n, come quick! minho finally found a cure for your legs!” your parents had cried out joyfully in the middle of your lunch with changbin, effectively plopping you back into your wheelchair and dragging you off to another part of the castle, even as you hissed in surprise and gestured for a stunned changbin to follow
but they had already pulled you into a strange room, shutting the door and preventing the stableboy from following you into the court wizard’s chambers
“alright miss y/n,” the high elf hummed, ignoring the excitement radiating from your mothers while they impatiently waited for him to do whatever he needed to do, “as a precaution, I am going to tell you everything about this spell and even where I got it from, as to make sure you are satisfied completely. understand?” you of course nod, your eyes not once leaving the elf as he adjusts the bowtie on his robe and continues to flip through a book on his desk, not once looking up at you or your parents
“so this particular spell actually came from a witch in arbington; I have an acquaintance down there who knows her... well enough,” he pauses, a small smirk twitching onto his thin lips, “anywho, she’s skilled in the art of healing magic - its something all magical beings can learn, but it is hard to master. she taught me the incantation and confirmed that she has used it before, so no need to worry. the one downside is that this spell can only heal one person every twelve months - its a reasonable cost for how powerful and draining it is, so be careful after this, okay? just, sit back and relax - you do want this, right?”
“of course she does-”
you quickly interrupt your mothers’ protests, nervously gripping onto the sides of your wheelchair. “I - I... no, I don’t want this.”
and you don’t, you realize, the stunned silence of your mothers and the intrigued wizard only further supporting your sudden decision
if he could only use it once per year, you didn't want to use it on yourself
you knew that there were other people who needed it more, who couldn’t feel happy with themselves being crippled
but you - you had found your happiness even without the use of your legs, with changbin
he had somehow taught you to love yourself no matter the circumstances, he showed you that the world could still be beautiful and loving
surely if you were happy, there was someone else out there who could benefit more from the powerful spell
it wasn’t a case of you settling for the fact that maybe someone out there in the world had it worse - it was you realizing that you did still love yourself, and that you deserved happiness in the form of whatever, or whoever, you wished it to be
and that person happened to be the short stableboy still waiting outside the wizard’s chambers
ignoring the baffled stutters of your parents, you swiveled yourself around and pushed the door open so you could find changbin - who had been pacing up and down the hall, nibbling on his fingernails nervously
when he saw you, he didn't ask why you weren’t up on your two feet; instead he leaned down and nearly crushed you with how strong his arms wrapped around you
“changbinnie~” you cooed beside his ear, gently pushing him away just enough so your temples were now pressed together, his eyes searching yours for any sign of regret for refusing the spell, “thank you.”
“w-why are you thanking me?”
“because you make me so fucking happy, shorty.” you laugh softly, quickly pecking his parted lips before he could protest, pulling back just as fast, your cheeks heating up to a degree you didn’t know was even possible
“thank y-you, y/n.”
“now why are you thanking me, binnie?”
“for kissing me.”

This wasn’t right. Usually when Eirwen awoke in an unfamiliar place, the hangover that hit her seconds later would tell her what happened. She felt dehydrated and worn, but as a true hangover connoisseur she knew when she wasn’t experiencing one. 
She shifted, her body sore as she moved for the first time in hours. Across the room she heard the floor creak, and the sudden noise wrested her from her drowsiness so fast she felt her hip crack as she turned. Flickering candlelight met her eyes, dancing against the pale face of a middle-aged woman with a crooked smile. “Ah. So you are awake.”
The woman had an Orlesian accent, but not one so thick Eirwen had trouble understanding. Forcing herself to ignore the bitter taste of sleep in her mouth, Eirwen cleared her throat and spoke. “Where am I?”
Again the floor creaked, and with a sigh the woman stood and strode into the light. She was tall and square-faced, her short hair emphasizing the sharp angles of her cheeks and jaw. “Fort Revasan. You are in no danger, Warden.”
Eirwen’s gaze fell to the bright, blood-red symbol on the woman’s chest, peeking out from beneath her cloak. “Why does Gaspard need Templars?”
“There are apostates everywhere. One never knows when a specific skill set may be required.”
“He must have several,” Eirwen said, thinking out loud. “I am no apostate.”
“I did not mean to suggest that you were.” The Templar shrugged. “But after seeing what you are capable of, is it so strange that we would have you guarded?”
Eirwen said nothing, having heard this line of thinking more than enough times to know where it led. “How did you know I was a Warden?”
The crooked smile on the Templar’s face tilted even more, a true smirk now. “A question of mathematics. A Rivaini elf with shapeshifting abilities of the expected age and dimensions? You are not so hard to figure out.”
“For the educated, I suppose.”
“There is a painting of you in Kinloch Hold. Do you know this?”
Eirwen snorted and shook her head. “No, but it doesn’t surprise me.” She sat up and grimaced at her sore muscles. “When did you go to Kinloch?”
“I have been many places.” The Templar held out her gauntlet-bound hand, and after a moment of hesitation, Eirwen reached out and shook it. “Knight-Captain Lezare.”
“Eirwen.” She sat up, frowning. “You didn’t capture me alone.”
“We did not capture you at all, Warden.” Lazare gestured to the door. “You may leave if you wish.”
“That explains your presence...” She wasn’t stupid. They wouldn’t put a Templar so close if they actually meant her to leave on her whim.
“As I said.” Lezare smiled slightly again. “There is no harm in being careful.”
“You found me with someone else. Where is he?”
“We could not catch him. He left you as bait to protect himself.”
Eirwen rolled her eyes. “Unlikely.” She drew her legs toward her, sitting cross-legged now on her bed. “I want to see him.”
“I will not stop you from leaving, Warden. But... perhaps you would meet with our leader, before you go?”
“Gaspard? Oh, yes, as an elven mage that sounds fantastic.”
“You degrade yourself.” Lezare’s voice took on a note of offense, and Eirwen watched her quietly. “You are much more than a mere elf or mage. Duke Gaspard recognizes your accomplishments. He believes a conversation would be... fruitful.”
“I’m not interested.” Eirwen had nothing to gain from such a meeting. She had no interest in following politics, much less being part of them; she’d had plenty of that during the Blight. Her purpose here needed to be leaving, preferably as soon as possible. The longer she spent wallowing in her own exhaustion and having worthless conversations, the worse off her men would be. 
Her fingers toyed with the blanket and she tried not to think of them, locked up somewhere, suffering at the hands of the Freemen because no one knew where they were. Perhaps Adaar had learned of the mishap, perhaps not. 
She looked up at Lezare again, her brows furrowed. “How long have I been asleep?”
“I would say... twenty-six hours or so, by my count?”
Eirwen’s eyes widened. “Liar.”
Lezare shrugged noncommittally. “It may not be exact, but about as much. After your spell, you slept heavy. We could not rouse you, even as we fixed your wounds.”
That’s right. Eirwen touched her side and felt thin, clean bandages under her fingers. There was nothing wrapped around her head either, and the only pain she felt was from dehydration. “A mage did this.”
“That would be absurd.” But the glint in Lezare’s eyes told Eirwen she was right. Clearly Gaspard had no problem keeping both rogue Templars and runaway mages in his employ. 
She shook her head and looked away, frustrated with herself and afraid of what the consequences for this were. Solas, her men, they were all in danger because she couldn’t handle the recovery of her own spell. If Solas was still alive, if they were ever stuck together again, she’d make him promise to keep her from turning into a dragon while intoxicated. 
There was, however, a way out. She looked at Lezare again and nodded to the pile of clothing in the corner that looked like her things. “Give me my clothes and my flask. I’ll speak with the Duke.”
...
“And my girl she wore such lovely things, such lovely pearls and flowers. She’d have you in her palm all night, so long as you pay for the hour, ooh!”
Solas cringed and pressed his fingers harder into his ears, trying desperately to block out the ear-splitting sound of his cellmate’s singing. The dwarf danced about and yelled every line, much to the chagrin of everyone else in the fort’s prison. Every once in a while something heavy would smack into the cell bars, causing the dwarf to yelp and sing louder over the men cursing him to shut up. 
So far Solas had gathered the dwarf, and many of the other prisoners, were part of a lyrium-smuggling ring that Gaspard’s troops broke as they tried to find a way to the fighting in the west. They were selling to anyone that would buy, but the Venatori were naturally their biggest customers. Yet despite their ambiguous morality, the smugglers’ coin still held sway and they’d managed to get the guard to largely leave them alone --and to make their most irritating comrade bunk with the “weird egg-headed knife-ear.”
The dwarf’s name was Sam, allegedly, but that seemed very fake. One of the other smugglers had called him “Belherav,” which seemed a bit far from Sam to Solas’s admittedly un-Dwarven ears. 
When Sam wasn’t singing, he was coming up with remarkably stupid escape plans. One particular highlight involved training a rat to summon his rat friends, attack the guard, and bring him the key. He also seemed convinced that Solas could turn him into a frog and was holding out on him. 
“I know what you magic-y people can do --you can do anything! See, if you just turn me into a frog then I can hop right out, open the door, and we could both go free!”
“I was not aware frogs had the dexterity necessary for lock-picking. Or even using a key.”
“Well you’d turn me back once I got of the cell, obviously.”
“...would I?”
And so on. For hours Sam sang or talked or farted and worked every other smuggler into a frothing rage. At first Solas had assumed Eirwen’s absence was due to her being a woman, that she was being held elsewhere, but he’d heard plenty of female smugglers screaming at Sam since he arrived. She must have been put somewhere else because of her celebrity, an irony which did not go unnoticed. 
Solas tried to ignore his cellmate as best he could, but the incessant noise wore his patience thin. Eirwen had probably slept through all of his suffering somewhere much more comfortable, though he knew it wasn’t her choice. Had it been up to her, he knew she’d have wanted them both in relative comfort.
He considered escaping by using his magic, but one of the Templars Gaspard employed wandered through the cells at inopportune times. The mere existence of Templars upset Solas’s stomach, but that they were here, in the Dirth, was case for even greater concern. He knew of no fighting between mages and Templars here, but the Dalish came through frequently and many of them were fairly relaxed about their mages. That some of them disposed of excess mages was even worse: there were apostate elves wandering the fens and prairies, easy pickings for cruel Templars. 
A loud, sudden crash tore Solas from his thoughts and he looked up to see the guard leaning against the iron bars of his cell. Sam stood directly opposite the guard, holding all four feet of himself tall and proud. The guard spoke in rapid, angry Orlesian to the dwarf, but Sam obviously had no idea what he was saying. 
“Er, hon hon I am, how you say, so Orleeeziian, I cannot speak that, erm, detestable common tongue, as you call it,” Sam said, affecting a very bad Orlesian accent. The guard slammed his fist into the bars, making Sam jump. 
“Shut up! I will beat you!”
“I’d like to see you try! I’m two-thirds your height and still have about a hundred pounds on you!” That was blatantly untrue, but Sam was a rather rotund man. He leaned into the bars, getting uncomfortably close to the guard. “But if you’d like a singing contest, I’d be happy to oblige.”
The guard jabbed his finger through the bars, poking Sam hard enough in the eye that the dwarf reeled backward. “That is what you get, dwarf--” 
Sam cut him off. He reached through the bars, grasped the guard by the collar, and brought him hard into the cold, solid iron again and again. The guard screamed and tried to fight back, but Sam’s grip was too strong as he pounded the guard’s face into a bloody pulp. 
With the ease of a man who had just finished an excellent musical performance, Sam bent down and fished the guard’s keys from his belt loop. He unlocked the cell door and it swung open with a loud creak.
Solas watched him, astonished and silent. Sam met his gaze, paused for a moment, then shrugged. “He didn’t need that. His face, that is. Wasn’t doing anything important with it.”
“I...”
“Well, come on then.” Sam gestured to the door. “You want out of here, then help me. Could use a mage to back me up.” He blinked a few times and rubbed at his eye. “Fuckin’ cheese-eating bastard.”
Solas stood and frowned as he followed Sam into the hallway. The other smugglers yelled and cursed and threw what little they had. “You aren’t going to release them?”
Sam shook his head and raised his voice above the din. “Nah, fuck these guys. Never liked my singing!”
They found the closet where Solas’s staff and Sam’s giant metal fist was stored. Solas eyed it wearily for a moment, then looked at Sam’s face. He had a scraggy, greasy beard with unkempt black wires for hair and pale skin poking out beneath. In the right light, Solas thought he could see dark freckles along Sam’s cheeks and nose. “How did you discover that I am a mage? I never mentioned it.”
Sam fixed his weapon to his arm and shrugged. “You aren’t Dalish, and city elves aren’t that pompous unless they have magic, a giant cock, or both.” Solas raised his brows, and Sam just winked. “Anyway.” The dwarf grinned as he finished strapping his gauntlet on. He let out a slow, relieved breath. “Good to get my hand back. Now let’s get the fuck out of here, I’m itching for a good fight.”

Hello @woozidimples, it’s me your sss! I apologize for such a late reveal, my computer crashed and i had to quickly start over but it’s 2:30 am and i finally finished! I tried to include what I thought you might like into everything and hope this is alright. this oneshot is 2,190 words so it’s pretty long. It might have an abrupt ending and i apologize, I will also revise in the morning so this is my unrevised, present to you and I hope you like it. Also i just used the name on your profile and hoped for the best, if otherwise wanted I can change it. i hope your holiday was amazing and you deserve the absolute best ! (also the format of this might suck it’s my first time posting my writing on here and i don’t know how to really and it’s almost 3 am.)   
merry christmas indeed.
its christmas eve and both you and jihoon were at his studio. he had insisted working on something for the boys he had told you (‘i won’t work long, tee’ ‘i’m coming with you’ ‘tee-’ ‘c’mon slow poke’ and cue your giggles and a door slam with jihoon chasing after you) and you’d be damned if you werent going to spend tonight with him. but in the end, he had only worked fifteen minutes with his headphones on before he sat with you on the couch he put in there recently. you ordered takeout from one of the only restaurants open (just some bulgogi, sweet potato noodles, a side of kimchi and some rice you were craving) and he put on a movie on his not so big screen. he had a blanket in there from when you had visited one time a while back. you both giggled softly and ate the food (tipping the worker far more than needed when he brought it), finishing the first movie before putting on a more romantic movie per request from you. (read: “c’mon today is suppose to be romantic.” “darling, that’s tomorrow.” “please, hoonie.” “…fine”). though, halfway through the movie you knocked out and your boyfriend smiled softly kissing your forehead before continuing to watch the movie, tucking you closer to him. only, he too fell asleep not long after you did. now pan to seungcheol and soonyoung who each tried to contact you both. they were all going to bed and needed to know if either of you had keys to get back into the door, but alas their efforts were to no avail. so they got into one of the vans, seungcheol driving (luckily the road were clean) and soonyoung in the passengers seat. they got to the studio not far from the dorms and soonyoung got out going to get you guys. “I’ll be back, I’ll call if i need help,” he nodded and then shut the door going up to his studio. he opened the door and let out a soft giggle at the sight, the credits rolling, the takeout boxes on his chair, and both of you snuggled up close. he turned everything off and cleaned the trash, mindful of being quiet as to not wake the either of you. he then called the leader and waited until he was up to try to pick you both up, not wanting to wake the either of you. “i can take tee and you take jihoon,” the eldest murmured to soonyoung who nodded. he helped remove the blanket and seungcheol leaned down picking you up, wrapping your legs around his waist before the other put a blanket over you. soonyoung then sat between jihoon’s legs, back to his chest, and wrapped his legs around his waist before he grabbed his arms and wrapped it around his neck. stirring in his sleep, jihoon lifted his head and muttered something incoherent before seungcheol threw a blanket over his head and softly patted the soft locks and he fell back to sleep, shifting and clinging onto soonyoung better. “im surprised tee hasnt woken up yet,” the choreographer whispered as he glanced at your undisturbed sleeping figure. the leader laughed softly and nodded, walking out after soonyoung, shutting the light off and closing the door. they took the elevator down (as it was easier and faster than walking down the stairs) and walked out to the car. seungcheol was the first to set one of the two of you down, fixing you so you seemed comfortable. he then helped soonyoung take the smaller off his back and into the van. he fixed him as well and then they got into the car, seungcheol humming softly as he drove, looking through the rearview mirror every few seconds until arriving at the dorms in the short ride there.
soonyoung got jihoon once more with the help of the other conscious member, walking inside and taking the elevator up. seungcheol then took you in his arms as he had when picking you up before. “this is like the four time im doing this, this month,” he complained softly to himself before you stirred and he panicked, stopping his movements until you settled back down.
when the male finally got inside the doors he took you to your boyfriends room, mindful of the other sleeping members (mingyu and jeonghan each sprawled out on their respective beds) and tucked you in next to him, softly brushing your hair from your face with a yawn.
The next morning you woke up, couldn’t have been earlier than 7 am or later than 9 am, eyes slowly blinking open. You shifted your head a bit and looked up, finding a smiling jihoon looking at you with a soft, fond look. you rubbed your eyes and smiled softly as he pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead, “good morning, tee. how’d you sleep?” he questioned you softly, voice gruff from the lack of use.
“Really good, how about you, oppa,” you joked softly, wiggling your eyebrows and giggling at the name despite the early hours. Jihoon rolled his eyes and softly poked your side from where it was softly placed over your body from inside the warm duvet. “I slept fine, stupid,” he muttered before he shuffled down more a bit, eye level with you before you buried your face against his neck and he kissed the top. you don’t remember falling asleep but you wake up what feels like an hour later but in reality is only 10 minutes, “merry christmas, jihoonie.” you murmured softly, voice thick with sleep causing your boyfriend to smile and whisper a soft ‘merry christmas’ against your hair.
you then looked up and around the room, brows furrowed as he noticed, smiling with a soft chuckle. “Everyone else already woke up, they’re eating breakfast, hungry,” he questioned softly petting your hair. “yeah, just let me stretch and steal some of ‘cheol’s clothes,” you murmured before you heard him scoff and mutter a soft ‘im your boyfriend’ making you laugh, softly hitting his shoulder as you shook your head. “yeah, id take your clothes if there were any clean clothes, so dont complain,” you hummed, softly stroking his cheek as you looked him in the eyes.
you leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, smiling against the soft skin before pulling away and sitting up. you went over to the leaders clothes, grabbing a pair of his smaller sweats and a long sleeve, stealing a pair of antlers off of the second oldest’s bed. quickly changing once your boyfriend left the room you walked out and smiled seeing the youngest walk by in a pajama set with candy canes all over it.
you sat at the couch curled up at the corner, wonwoo sat not too far, head bobbing a bit from sleepiness. you giggled quietly seeing the rustling of all the members, calling their families and friends, getting breakfast ready and grabbing the presents to put under the tree. you had spent christmas a week prior at your parent’s house as they were leaving on holiday and werent going to be there for christmas. jihoon had already visited a month prior and they gave gifts then, facetiming the night before when they were at the studio waiting for food.
“good morning, tee,” came a soft gruff from next to you before you felt a weight fall on you and let out a whine. “wha-” you then saw a tuff of brown hair and fairy-like ears, “hao! you lazy,” you giggled loud before giving up and huffing, leaning your head back down and watching the members again. you smiled as jihoon walked over to you, a bowl of cereal for you in his hands, and then sat down in the spot between you and wonwoo. he gently flicked the headband making you scrunch your nose up in a smile, shaking your head a bit as you muttered a small thank you.
after everyone had finished you helped clean the kitchen with the two korean-american members, loudly singing christmas songs (with the help of seokmin in the background). afterwards, everyone gathered in the living room and you sat on the floor between your red haired boyfriend’s legs, his hands instantly playing with your hair, smiling wide at the feeling. after a good hour full of laughter and pranks (mingyu wrapping minghao’s present [a gift card] up and then putting it in a box, wrapping it, into another box, wrapping it, into another, and after wrapping that one into the biggest one, wrapped pretty with a bow on the corner) the members had all exchanged gifts.
but then suddenly they all turned to you and you noticed there were still some left, and the members suddenly started throwing and attacking you with love and presents screaming merry christmas. (“ow! chan!” “oh my gosh tee im so sorry i didnt-” “you got my eyeball!” then cue the other members laughing as jihoon examined your eye) everyone then helped clean up the mess and you moved onto the couch, presents still unopened at your feet except jihoon’s which was on your lap. a pair of sound blocking headphones identical to his besides your name neatly written on them obviously by jihoon.
you had given him a simple bracelet with his name engraved in it and a new notebook to write in.
everyone was just walking about in the doorm while you and jihoon stayed on the couch watching a random christmas movie along with the performance unit and wonwoo who was curled up more asleep than awake even after the gift giving and receiving. you ran your hands through his hair and he smiled, humming softly as he gently bumped your noses together. “i want to redye my hair,” he whispered, not because he needed to but because he felt he would ruin the soft moment by speaking too loudly despite his honey voice.
“why? you just dyed your hair not too long ago,” you reminded, admiring the bright colour on his head. he only shrugged, grabbing your hair and smiling as he giggled, “maybe the same colour as yours?” you shook your head with a soft laugh, smiling wide as he stroked your hair. “what have the fans been asking for,” you questioned before he replied with a simple ‘black’.“is hansol here,” you questioned him, jihoon shaking his head and informing you that him and seungkwan went on a coffee and lunch run for everyone. so you called him.
“vernon, do you happen to have any hair dye from when your hair was black anymore,” you crossed your fingers in hope but whined when he said no. “but I’ll stop by the shop and get black dye from one of the noonas,” he promised before hanging up. you guys then continued to sit and admire each other before you buried yourself against your boyfriend and he took your antlers off, rubbing your back when you fell asleep. he set your head on wonwoo’s thigh after getting up to use the restroom, only to be woken up by vernon moments later with the dye and gloves and brush to apply. he explained what the noona had said to do and you nodded, ruffling his hair as you sat up waiting for your boyfriend, getting everything ready to do.
when he came back he raised his brow at you and you said nothing, patting between your legs on the floor. so he sat down and squeaked as he felt the cold dye on his hair, gasping a bit before he relaxed a while after. “youre going to look so handsome, hoonie,” you cooed as you continued, your boyfriend rolling his eyes with a laugh. “are you calling me ugly now,” he questioned jokingly, making you scoff and gently shove him with your elbow. everyone was watching helping to get it even by telling you how to spread it or where to put more.
once you finished you went to the bathroom and washed it off, shaving down the hairs that needed to be cleaned on his neck. you then helped rewash and fix his damp hair when finished. sitting together on his bed afterwards, his hair in a beanie with a giggle as you both spoke, you far more annoyed than him.
“hoon, i am just saying the mullet needs to go,” you whined as he shook his head with a laugh. “nope i like it,” he argued, wiggling his brows. you laughed and shook your head. the rest of the day was spent singing karaoke in the living room and lots of fond cuddling between you and your boyfriend.
you ran your hand into his hair and smiled, softly kissing him as you murmured a final merry christmas and him to you before knocking out on the couch. (now enters seungcheol and soonyoung who both look at the two of you and scoff, leaving you both to sleep there.) (not before the eldest runs back and covers you both with a quick ruffle of each of your hair.)

NCT- A Strange Fight || Gang Au- part 4
Group: NCT- all members
Theme: Gang AU
Type: Series- fluff + angst
*Warning- this series will cover some dark themes such as abuse, drugs, and crude language so please read at your own discretion, if these themes make you uncomfortable at all, please do not read this
Plot: Picks up right where we left off in part 3 with Taeyong at Doyoung’s door. We discover some secrets that were probably much better left unknown and a mild fight breaks out that only serves one purpose- to leave you with a million questions chasing each other in your mind.
Previous parts: 1, 2, 3
“Taeyong, you should know by now, this is the wrong side of town. Where’s your boyfriend that you stole from us?” Johnny asks sharply.
“First of all, I didn’t steal him, I saved him from you monsters. Secondly, he’s much better now that he’s not with you,” Taeyong glares at Doyoung.
“He asked ‘where is he’ not ‘how is he’. And besides he’s probably bored out of his mind playing house with you. You can’t lock up his true side forever,” Doyoung growls as he leans into Taeyong.
“Whoa! We aren’t here to fight, we just want Y/N. Where is he/she? He/she is not gunna be staying with horrible people like you, god knows what you would’ve done-” Yuta worries.
Taeyong leans in to whisper in Jeno’s ear as Yuta continues to talk, “Jeno, go get him/her.”
Jeno nods firmly and steps in to grap your wrist and pulls you away from Renjun. Renjun pulls you right back and says, “No you aren’t taking him/her, he/she’s staying with me. He/she doesn’t even know you, he/she’ll be safe here with me.”
“Are you serious? You’re really gunna lie like that? Once he/she figures out the type of people your ‘friends’ are, he/she’ll be coming to us anyways so we figured we’d just make things easier,” Jeno sneers, tugging your wrist again.
“Why are you lying to yourself? You’re only doing this because it plays to your advantage. I said, Y/N will be fine with me. Sure my friends aren’t all that great but your’s aren’t any less. Y/N trusts me and unlike you, I’d never take advantage of that,” Renjun points out as he tries to pull you towards his side again.
You let go of both of their hands resolutely to give them a piece of your mind only to have Yuta grab it and says with finality, “Y/N let’s go. You’ll be staying with us.”
So Yuta pulls you away from Renjun’s security and the strange purple-silver and blue-black haired guys, you find out to be named Doyoung and Johnny, respectfully‘s shared home. He leads you to his van and you get in to take a seat willingly, but you keep looking back to see Renjun’s distressed figure. Your mind has so much going on to the point it just blanks out and you can’t really process what’s going on. You absentmindedly wave at Renjun as the van pulls away from the strange house.
Jeno puts his arm around you in a purely reassuring manner and says delicately, “Y/N, I know this all must be a lot to process right now and-”
“Jeno, I’m tired,” you say quietly as you rest your head on his chest and drift off.
______
You wake up groggily on a soft bed and look around at your new surroundings in the semi-darkness. You try to figure out where you are and who’s bed you are in and the moment you do, you hear a soft knock on the bedroom door.
“Come in?” you call out in confusion.
Jeno pokes his head in softly and turns on the light, which immediately makes you squint and makes him chuckle softly. He sits down at the foot of the bed and asks, “How are you feeling?”
You just blink blankly for a few seconds before breaking down into tears suddenly. He instantly engulfs you in a comforting hug and strokes your back gently.
“Jeno.. what’s going on? I don’t understand. First it was my dad then I find out Renjun’s parents got arrested then you guys show up and I don’t know what was going on between you and Jun and why are they bad people. I just don’t understand any of it,” you sob miserably.
“It’s ok-”
“No! It’s not ok! I’m so lost, so clueless. I don’t know what to do Jeno. My dad is in fuckin jail and he’s the only family I have. Renjun is practically family too but I can’t be with him because I don’t know how his parents are in jail too. They are such nice people, I don’t understand.”
“Y/N I know you’re scared and just really confused but we will explain everything to you when you calm down a little bit. I promise you, we will take really good care of you. Yuta and Taeyong hyung have really big hearts and really want to make sure you are ok. You are in really good hands, there’s no one better than them. Now do you wanna eat something or would you like to freshen up first?”
“I think I’ll freshen up first so I can collect myself, I don’t want to be a mess in front of everyone. Thank you for everything, I’m glad I met you because I don’t think anyone would’ve done anything like this after days of just meeting me.”
“Yeah, it’s nothing much because everyone here has been through some tough times so we’ve gotten used to stuff like this. Ok, go take a shower now, I’ll go grab some spare clothes and a towel.”
“Ok,” you whisper as he gets up and leaves the room to retrieve the items he just listed.

“Be careful, I got some hot soup coming through!” Taeyong exclaims as he carries a pot to the table in a red apron. He sets it on a hot pot mat then he turns his attention onto you as he asks in a complete mom-like manner that made you think of your own. “Is there anything I can get for you Y/N?”
“No thank you, this is plenty,” you say politely with a smile.
“Alrighty then, let’s eat then. Dig in everyone,” Taeyong says as he claps his hands and looks over everyone with a content smile.
A comfortable chatter fills up the table as everyone’s hands reach over to grab a helping of everything. You take some of the soup Taeyong made and try it right away. “Mhh! The soup is delicious! It has just the right amount of spice and flavor!”
“My Taeyongie made it with love, it’s good isn’t it?” Yuta asks adoringly, as he holds his hand. “Aww Taeyongie you’re so good at everything, I’m fortunate to have you.”
“Aww, you’re no less babe,” Taeyong replies cutely as he leans in to kiss Yuta.
“Hey can you guys not do this at the table? You’re gunna make Y/N lose his/her appetite,” a usually smily guy named Ten exclaims.
“Haha no it’s ok. It’s kinda cute,” you chuckle.
“Ugh. You’d better just get used to it then because they do it everyday,” an annoyed brunette, Kun warns.
You just smile to yourself as you continue to eat. You didn’t want to admit it but the soup was a little better than the one Renjun’s mom used to make for you when you were a kid. Sadness fills your brain again when you thought of her, what happened to her and her husband? They were the kindest, sweetest people you’ve ever known and they felt more like your parents than your real ones. There was a hole that his parents filled in your heart when your parents went through a nasty divorce, and now you find out that these same people are rotting behind bars. You have to find out what happened to them, it doesn’t matter what they were charged with, you knew it was false. They couldn’t ever commit a crime and they’d never do it especially when they had a kid to look after, so what happened?

After helping to clean up, everybody gathers in the living room and offer to answer any questions you have. You sit a bit stiffly but everyone else seems to be very comfortable- Kun and Ten are causally cuddling together, Taeyong and Yuta are not-so-causally- cuddling, Haechan and Chenle fight over the remaining space on the couch, Jeno sits next to you, and the eldest member, Taeil, sits quietly beside Ten and Kun.
“Uh, I really appreciate you guys doing all this for me so my biggest question is ‘why?’ Why are you letting me stay here even though we just met?” you start off.
Yuta looks at you softly before answering, “We’ve all been through a lot in the past about taking care of people and over the years we realized what it’s like to not have anyone there for you when you’re going through all this stuff. So when we found out what happened, we quickly knew that we had to be there for you. And I understand that kid, Renjun is it? He may be your friend and you trust him a lot but the people he’s with aren’t as kind as he is. And yes we did just meet yesterday but I’d rather you stay here safe with us than to be with those people that Renjun is with.”
“What makes them bad people?”
“Well I’m sure you’ve seen those marks on your friends right? Yea, those came from the older members of that group,” Taeyong answers a bit reluctantly.
“So why don’t you do anything about it? They can’t get away with it, they can and should be arrested for doing stuff like that!”
“It’s much more complicated than that Y/N. There’s much more to it than just turning them in-” Taeil speaks out softly.
“But is that more important than people getting hurt?” you blurt.
“Y/N... it’s really not as bad as you think,” Jeno speaks out.
“Not as bad as I think? Jeno, I just saw my best friend in the worst shape I’ve ever seen him in his life and you’re trying to tell me it’s not that bad? I’m sorry, I have to go,” you say as you promptly get up and rush to the front door.
“Y/N! Wait!” Jeno shouts as he runs after you.
“Jeno, its ok let him/her go. He/she will come back, just let him/her cool down first,” Taeyong reassures.
You bolt outside and decide to call up Renjun. First call went straight to voicemail. Then you ring again and again, all to no avail. You had half of your questions answered but only Renjun could answer the other half and you needed them right now.
You sigh and sit on the front steps, just looking the night sky, letting the cool air soothe you. Golden light illuminates the steps and you hear two pairs of feet scuffle on either side of you.
“Hey Y/N,” Chenle pips up.
“Hey guys,” you say quietly.
“We got you hot cocoa-” Haechan says, handing you the cup quickly.
“And a blanket” Chenle says as he drapes the blanket around your shoulders.
“Thanks guys,” you thank with a sincere smile.
“We just wanted to come out and tell you, it’s ok to be upset and angry and stuff. We’ve all been there and we know how much this all sucks, but you are gunna be ok. These guys are something else, they’ve endured a lot especially Yuta hyung. The two of us didn’t exactly give him a warm welcome when he joined our gang but it was Taeyong hyung that went to them and brought him out. Taeyong hyung saw that there was something good in Yuta hyung so he stuck with him and helped him to change to the person he is today. When I first joined, it was just for fun. I saw a bunch of guys from our school hanging out and I wanted to be with them and it wasn’t ever supposed to be this. I never imagined that I would end up calling these losers my family but when I lost my parents to a car crash, it was Yuta hyung who was there for me. Even though I gave him a hard time, for some reason he stuck with me and made me feel like I belonged here with them, my family,” Haechan causally narrates as he fiddles with a random branch.
“I ended with them a little differently, I still got my parents but they’re never there. They never cared about who I was as a person, they only saw what they wanted. Here with them, I discovered what it meant to belong like Haechan hyung said. Ten hyung taught me how to stay true to myself and if I never had him to guide me, I would’ve been a much different person. I wouldn’t have bothered to stick to this group or care to be a good person but everyone here taught me a lot. Ok I know it may seem like we’re just rambling a lot but I guess our point is that we’re all here for you and you don’t know us that well yet but if you give us a chance, we’ll grow as a family. Shit this is hecka cheesy but Y/N I promise we’re being honest. They wouldn’t have done this for just anybody, we all see that you're someone special and we want you to a part of our family. You don’t gotta say anything right at this second but just look at how everybody cares for each other here. We want that to be you one day,” Chenle admits.
You sniffle, “Thanks guys, really I know it probably wasn’t easy to share all that. I really do appreciate you guys for seeing something in me, the way you two talk about being a family together, makes me desperately want to be a part of something like that. The only place I’ve ever really felt loved and wanted was by Renjun’s parents. That’s why this all hurts so much, my dad... he can do whatever, but Renjun’s parents, shit. What happened?”
A voice booms from behind you, “Y/N? May I talk to you?”
You turn around to see Yuta leaning against the door frame with his hands in his pockets, “Yea, sure. Excuse me guys, thank you.”
You follow Yuta into the house where he leads you to an empty corner, “Y/N, I won’t give you a long lecture or speech or anything. I’m sure you already have enough to take in for one day, I’ll save my story for another day. I wanna quickly tell you that, you’re welcome to stay here for as long as you’d like. Don’t ever feel like you’re a burden or anything crazy like that. We all want you to feel safe here so get comfy alright? Also I wanted to tell you that, I’ll take you to visit your father tomorrow, if you’d like so you can talk to him. Lastly, I want to promise you something. I always promise something to everyone and my promise to you will be that I will find a way for Renjun, your dear friend, to be safe as well just like you. Ok that’s all, good night Y/N.”
You just smile weakly and barely whisper, “Thank you.”
