Eddie was sitting by Robin, who was sitting by Steve and was currently watching a romance movie with them. It had been Robin's turn to pick, and Eddie pretended loudly that he wasn't into this shit. He did like it, and he watched as the woman thanked the man for saving her life by giving him a kiss. How come it's never the other way around?
"Is that how you thank someone for saving their life? Shit, sorry, Steve," Eddie said.
He leaned over Robin and planted a quick kiss to Steve’s lips before leaning back. They both stared at him.
"Thanks, man."
"You just kissed my platonic Steve," Robin said.
"Yeah. I was there," Eddie scoffed.
"Well, I saved your life too. Why didn't I get a kiss?" Robin asked.
"You're a lesbian," Eddie said.
"Yes, I'm aware. Honestly, I'm offended that you didn't even try," Robin said. "Sounds a bit homophobic to me."
"How can I be homophobic? I'm not exactly straight myself!" Eddie exclaimed.
"You're not?!" Robin and Steve exclaimed.
"I just kissed Steve!" Eddie exclaimed. "I haven't been thinking straight since Steve threw his goddamn sweater at me!"
"Oh, so because I'm not Steve, I don't get a thank you kiss?" Robin asked, and Eddie sighed, knowing she was full of shit. "Not even a kiss on the cheek."
"Robin. . .do you want me to give you a platonic kiss on the cheek as a thank you for saving my life?" Eddie asked.
"Wouldn't hurt," Robin said. "And would definitely help me put in a good word for you with my platonic soulmate."
Eddie cackled and pressed a kiss to her cheek.
"Okay, I love you again," Robin grinned.
"Love you too, birdie," Eddie grinned.
"Hey, Steve, I think you might have a chance with Eddie," Robin whispered to him. "He seems like a good guy. His kissing skills leave little to be desired for but then again, I am a lesbian so maybe you shouldn't take my word on that."
"I was there! I've been here this whole time!" Steve exclaimed.
"Stevie! The movie's still playing! Shh!"
"You're going to have to kiss me again to shut me up," Steve hissed.
"Ugh! Fine!" Eddie rolled his eyes.
He climbed over Robin and into Steve’s lap. He pressed a hard kiss to Steve’s lips before settling in against him. Eddie sighed in contentment as he missed the end of the movie as all he could think about was Steve.

Oh my stars so I saw your post for Hazbin hotel requests can I PLEASE get a reader w Sir Pentious who is low-key jealous of his crush on cherry but he ends up getting w reader in the end?
I would love you forever 🙏
yurp, I gotchu. I love cherpentious with my entire heart but anything for y’all 🫡
edit : THERE IS NOW A PART TWO!
Somethin’ Stupid - Sir Pentious
words : 1.77k, slight warning for ep 6 stuffs
God, this fucking sucked. 
Cherri, who was - and you don’t mean to be direct, or self-loathing - downright fucking gorgeous, had been bribed to take you all out to a bar - well no, that wasn’t the exact instructions, but it was clear enough that Charlie didn’t expect much more from her. So here you were, slouched back on a vodka-stained couch in the corner of this bar, Husk lounging beside you while Nifty giggled and played with his fur, and your oh so beloved Sir Pentious across from you. 
You kicked back another shot of whatever Angel had brought to you, pretending to find whatever Husk had just said funny (you were far too caught up in the way Sir Pentious was goo goo eyeing a certain Cherri Bomb.) and Husk spoke up, eyebrows furrowed. 
“What’s up your ass today, kid?” He said flatly with a swig of his beer, raising one of his eyebrows as you finally snapped your attention back to him, trying to smile non-chalantly as you watched your beloved little drunken ball of insecurity slither towards Cherri again from the corner of your eye. “ ‘ts nuthin, Husk. Leave it.” You say with an annoyed sigh as you watch Pentious stumble over his words to an annoyed and unimpressed Cherri. 
“- I’M HAVING SSSSEX WITH EVERYONE HERE!” He turns around and yells, which has both Nifty, Angel, and Husk snap their heads around with wide eyes. He gives you a sad look and you try to give him a reassuring one. That is until he gets dragged into a separate room, and you inhale sharply through your teeth, wincing at the way he screams before the door is shut properly. Cherri doesn’t even look like she cares. 
“Ah.” Husk says flatly, catching your attention again. “Should’ve guessed after your fuckin’ ramble last night. ‘But Husk he doesn’t even know I’m here!’ and all those fuckin’ ‘I’ve been here longer than he has and he won’t even talk to me!‘s. he’s just nervous around you, like he is with Cherri. Fucker has some self-confidence issues. Just do it already.” He says, looking almost annoyed as you flushed deep and slapped your hand over his mouth, which he quickly swatted away. 
“Shh! Jesus fucking Christ Husk, not so loud! Fuck!” You grumble as Angel giggles with a hand over his mouth from the other end of the booth, before taking another small sip of his cocktail. “Not a secret, toots.” He says with his casually shit-eating grin, gesturing to a very drunk Nifty who was giggling now too, nodding her head. Great. 
“Sometimes, when I’m out killing the bugs that think they’re all sneaky, and gross and cool at night, I walk past your room and you’re listening to super bad romance music. Which scares the bugs away and makes them surrender their lives. Which like, it’s supposed to be a fight! You’re ruining all the fun… ” She adds the last part with a annoyed grumble, but despite her unbelievably drunken state, she’s still speaking fast, high-pitched, and with the exact same creepy undertones. “And I walk past that bad boys room and he’s all rehearsing romance poetry he wrote. It’s so bad! Ehehe!” 
She giggles out, eyes falling on a bug on the floor, hopping quickly off of Husker’s head and falling face first onto the floor, before quickly picking herself back up and running after it. “Shit.” Angel groans, putting his cocktail down quickly and shuffling out of the booth. “I’m gonna make sure she doesn’t end up with some creep.” He grits out through his teeth, before disappearing into the crowd with a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’d better help him out.” Husk says with a sigh as well as he placed his beer bottle down carefully, pulling himself up with a groan.
He turns back to you for a second, just looking over his shoulder, before smiling. “You should start considering the possibility of Cherri being a distraction.” He says, humming softly before he adds one last thing. “Please do check in on the awkward fucker though, I don’t know what kind of shit he’s got stuffed in him or is stuffing at the fuckin moment.” Husk says with a sigh, disappearing right into the ground of flashing lights and bumping bodies right after Angel. 
You took the last courage swig of your drink and stood up, doing a little tipsy stretch as you got up, before dejectedly walking over to where a very, very exhausted Sir Pentious was sitting, hyperventilating and sweaty. You let out a soft sigh as you walked over, kneeling in front of him and taking his hands away from his face, holding them softly in your hands, looking up at him with furrowed brows and concern.
“Hey Pentious, that was a lot wasn’t it?” You say softly and he nods, refusing to make eye contact with you. He looks grossed out, ashamed, everything. You let out a soft sigh and rub small circles into the back of his palm with your thumb, doing your best to comfort him in the loud and overstimulating bar scene. 
“They were very kind - I jusssst, kept ssssssaying yessss. I don’t know why.” He says softly, and you nod, standing up and helping him up too. “Let’s get you back to the hotel, ‘Kay? You can take a nice hot shower and go to bed.” You reassure quietly and he finally looks up from the ground, smiling at you quickly before nodding, but as soon as Angel catches his gaze again, he’s out of your grips and right back to focusing on Cherri. You grimace softly as you watch him rush up to angel and ask where Cherri is. You watch as he groans in defeat as she goes into another room with a random guy. 
Some part of you feels happy, relieved of some jealousy. Another part of you feels bad. That was all he was doing the entire night, trying to get her attention. You shook it off and walked over to where everyone had re-grouped, giving them a tired wave, and getting one in return. You let out a small gasp as you saw the dried blood from Angels’ nose all the way down or his lip, his new black eye. 
“Oh dear, what happened?” You cooed softly, reaching up to wipe some of the blood of his face, and he softly moved away, shaking his head in a polite ‘thank you, but not right now’ way, and you nodded. “It was just a run-in with Val.” He says with a sigh, wiping another fresh stream of blood from his other nostril onto the back of his hand. “Let’s get going - I’ll tell you when we’re back at the hotel, Toots.” 
An unceremonious end to the night; but not exactly the end to yours. Even when you got back, debriefing everything that happened with Husk and Angel while Nifty snored on the couch and Pentious took a shower, even when you had finally wished them a good night and made your bed, sighing as you let your head fall to your pillow, you couldn’t stop thinking about what happened with him. What Husk had said. 
“You should start considering the possibility of Cherri being a distraction.”
You repeated it in your head for hours while you tried to think about anything else, scrolling on your phone aimlessly through Hellflix, InstaScam, Crime Video, even YouCrude - there was no one to e-stalk, no new shows for you to binge, not even something you wanted to re-watch. No new uploads from your faves - just an endless amount of scrolling. 
Until about 3 a.m.
That’s when you heard it - shaky, nearly silent sobs from Pentious’s room, small sniffles. You checked the time, sighed, threw a shitty pair of smiley-face PJ pants Charlie had made for you on, and slumped over to his bedroom, knocking softly on his door. It went dead silent, not a mouse, no the small clinking or squishing of Nifty’s bug-killing sewing needle. 
“Who issss it?” He said in a shaky, tired, raw voice, and your heart absolutely melted, hand against the doorknob as you spoke. “It’s me, Pentious. I just heard you - uh - being sad. I know I’m not your favourite, but can I come in?” You say with a soft sigh, running your fingers through your hair tiredly. It takes him a minute and a soft hiccup before he rasps out a small “pleasssse, y-yeah.” And you open the door.
What you find is absolutely heartbreaking. Your favourite little serpent, curled in on himself, hugging his tail to himself, eyes red with tears that fall softly down his face, hat resting on his old worn down dresser, angry and frustrated swipes if his claws leaving him on top of torn up bedsheets and pillows, and you nearly cry with him right then and there. This sweet man who has been nothing but a pure angel, stuck with all the sinners, including yourself, down here. 
You walked over to him, sitting beside him on his bed, hearing the old mattress frame squeak softly as you sat down, putting your hand on his, gently cooing him until he took big, deep breaths, gently and encouragingly rubbing circles back into the palm of his hand.
“Tell me, what’s up? I’m all -“ you start confidently, being cut off by an annoyed but desperate call from Pentious himself, pulling his hand away from yours and groaning into his palms, shaking his head. “that ISSSSS the problem! You’re the problem-  you’re so pretty I can’t think sssstraight around you! And now you think I hate you!” He cries out, looking at you with desperate eyes, like he wants you to say something - anything, really. But you really can’t.
You’re completely frozen, hand frozen in mid air when it was going to rest on his shoulder to comfort him, eyes wife, lips pierced together and all you can do is stare at him like some stupid idiot. You are at a mental battle of grabbing his face and kissing him until you can’t breathe or slowly talking it out. He sighs dejectedly.
“I want to get closssser to you. Wanted to be your friend, at leassst. But… then I’d go and ssssspoil it all by ssssaying ssssomething sssstupid like…” he stops for a second, swallowing thickly. “…I love you.” He looks up at you again, nearly desperate for an answer. You finally get some words out of your closed up throat -
“I love you.”

Hold the Popcorn
Pairing: Dick Grayson x Fem!Reader
Tags: nsfw, smut, established relationship, teasing, fingering, breast groping, clit stimulation, movie night, domestic
Word count: 0.6k
A/N: This came to me while writing writing another DC post and it wouldn't leave me alone.
Tumblr media
"Excited for movie night tonight Dick?" You sorted through your DVD collection, trying to find something sweet, relaxing and romantic, something to lighten the mood after the long week. It was tradition for you and Dick to have at least one date night a week, tonight was your turn to pick so you picked movie night.
"As long as its not another Magic Mike movie." Dick was already sitting on the couch, with the full bowl of popcorn he'd made, an assortment of snacks and drinks on the little coffee table before him.
You laughed as you almost wanted to pick that, "Oh it wasn't that bad. You even tried to learn their dances. For the record, you do them better." By the look on his face you could tell he didn't know if he should be happy about that or not. "Relax, its not gonna be another Magic Mike." It wasn't, you decided to spare him, this time.
As you turned the movie on and pressed play you aimed to take a seat next to Dick but he had other plans, he pulled you in his lap, handing you the popcorn in the process and wrapped his arms around you in a hug, "Here you go baby, best spot in the house."
"What a gentleman." You turned your face to kiss him softly and briefly before the movie really got started.
It was good to do this every now and then, enjoy each other's warmth and the simple intimacy that came with having his front pressed to your back, his breath tickling your skin and his laughter in your ear.
About half way into the movie you felt his hands beginning to wonder. It was small at first, hands smoothing over your shoulders, fingers around your neck to tilt your head, tracing patterns along your thighs, stealing your popcorn from your fingers and gently biting at them. Completely innocent, you didn't think anything of it until you felt them trailing into your shirt to cup your naked breasts.
"Dick? The movie is still- ahn!" You groaned and arched into his touch when he rubbed circles over your nipples with his thumbs, both of them at the same time.
"It's a good movie. You should keep watching." He suggested and kept massaging and groping. "There's a good part coming up." As he said that his left hand started drifting down your body, nudging your thighs apart and pushing them past your panties, "My favorite part." His finger rolled over your clit, your hips rising to meet him, "Don't spill the popcorn, it's gonna be a nightmare to clean up."
Dick kept teasing your clit as you desperately tried to keep focused on what was happening in the movie. The two main characters were heading home from their first date, hand in hand, exchanging cute banter. That was you and him a while back, and how he's fingering you to as you watch a romance movie. You tighten your grip on the popcorn bowl, your breathing interrupted by little mewls and hisses.
"Shh. I can't hear the movie, do you need me to keep you quiet or can you do it yourself?" You couldn't. No way, not when his middle finger pushed inside your pussyhole, "Be a good girl for me. I know you can, you can be so good for me when you try." Try. You tried to keep your hips from thrusting upwards, you tried to keep your voice down, you tried not to arch your back into his hand groping as it pinched your nipple, you tried to stop yourself from coming all over his palm. You failed all of it.
Worst of all... you spilled the popcorn.

part 3 | part 5
a/n: so i was gonna stop this chapter earlier than it is here but I think having the last scene in this chapter makes sense! also I know nowt about physics so when they start talking about it just pretend it makes sense pls <3
In the guest room, Eunseo is deciding what to wear, it’s between her usual jeans and a crop top or playsuit she bought 2 years ago that she swears makes her look ‘snatched’. In your eyes, she always looks beautiful. “Why are you stressing? It’s just dinner.” 
“Um,” She looks at you like you have 12 heads, “YOU should be stressing, Heeseung and you are sat next to each other.” 
“Wait, what? We have designated seats?” You question.
Rolling her eyes she fixes her hair in the mirror, “Obviously, I mean, there are like 14 of us.” You knew that but no one came up with a breakfast seating plan so why now?
“I’m fine in this,” You look down at your midi dress and white cropped cardigan, “It’s simple and cute, and I am NOT trying to impress Hee.” You cross your arms to protest but Eunseo turns sharply and quips up, “You just called him Hee! That’s a nickname, see, destined to be.” If only she knew. In your defense, it was never that Heeseung was unattractive but Jaeyun was the only person you ever thought of, you didn’t have to think about anyone else. 
You point to the playsuit for her to choose. As she goes to get changed there is a knock at the door, “Come on in.” you say just lower than a shout and Mrs Sim walks into the room. Urgently, you stand up and brush yourself down, ironing out the creases as best you can, “Hi Mrs. Sim. What can I do you for?” 
“I’m just here to let you girls know that everyone is downstairs waiting for you.” She nods and eyes you up and down. “Tell Eunseo to hurry up please.” She smiles and goes to leave but you hold her arm to stop her.
“Why didn’t you use the money you saved up for this wedding?” You question, too impatient to wait and ask Heeseung later on. With a sigh she turns to you, cursing Heeseung’s name under her breath.
“She’s rich, I’m not, the family didn’t need my money.” Her face is screwed up, wanting to tell you more, wanting to tell you the truth, "Honestly, Y/N? We aren't thrilled with the wedding but at the end of the day it is happening. Nothing I can do."
“Mrs. Sim?” You call out to her as she is leaving, “I missed you.” 
Her shoulders slump but a smile adorns her face, “I missed you too, Y/N. More than anything.” As she finishes her sentence you rush to hug her tightly, making up for the lost years. “Shh.” Her hand strokes your back as you hold in your sobs, “You had your reasons,” Mrs. Sim pulls away and looks you deep in the eyes, “If those reasons don’t matter anymore, you should do what you think is best.” As you look at Jaeyun’s mother leave you take in her words and how she looked at you, like she was telling you a secret you didn’t know, and you’re still clueless. 
Eunseo emerges from the bathroom, dressed and ready for the night, “Ta-da!” 
You give her a thumbs up and a weak smile, “You look amazing.” She jumps happily and clasps her hands. “Then if we are both ready,” She reaches her hands to yours, “Let's go.”
Making your entrance to the dining room was weirdly calm, knowing you had Heeseung by your side set your mind at ease. Eunseo addresses everyone with a hello and bow and you follow, the whole family smiles and greets you. A single place next to Heeseung and…
Jaeyun.
“Shit” you mumble under your breath as you walk towards your seat, smiling at everyone as you pass. Heeseung’s hand strokes your hip, guiding you to your seat, “I was wondering when you were going to come down.” His smile dazzles up at you as you tuck your dress under and sit on the white satin seats. The set up for this dinner is a little fancy but this must just be how rich people did things.
“Eunseo takes forever to get dressed.” Playfully rolling your eyes you get comfy, ignoring the tempting presence to your right, but it’s harder than expected. Jaeyun is wearing beige trousers with a mint green jumper accented by a white collar, and he looks beautiful, like the sun on a cold winter day, “Hi, Jake.” 
His face frowns, not used to you calling him Jake, “Hello, Y/N.” His head tilts forward in your direction before facing forward pretending to listen to the conversation happening between his and Yeoreum’s parents. You want to reach out for his hand, tell him you missed him, tell him what a stupid mess you are, but as you stretch your hand out, Heeseung’s fingers interlock with yours. “Don’t” He whispers, pulling your body with his other hand to face him, “Focus on me, Y/N.” You nod and shift to Heeseung as he smiles, “You’re too close to the attentive members of the family, pretend I’m the one you want even for a few hours.” 
It takes all your will power but heading his advice, you focus on him. “Thank you, Hee.” 
Jaeyun hears it all, how Heeseung’s voice holds adoration, he sees how your fingers are intertwined. He is furious, his jaw clenched, and as much as he tries to remind himself he shouldn’t be possessive over you, it comes so naturally that he can’t help it. In every atom of his being, you are still his and he is still yours.
Heeseung’s thumb brushes over the back of your hand to settle your nerves. As Mr. and Mrs. Son bring out dinner, they place a vegetarian meal in front of you, and you glance at everyone else who has steak on their plate. You aren’t a vegetarian by any means but you are thankful since you hate red meat in general. But how did they know? You never told them about your distaste for red, especially bloody and rare, meat, and that's when a voice interjects your thoughts, “I told the cook you were veggie since you can’t eat any red meat that isn’t burnt to the heavens.” A chuckle follows the sentence and you turn to your side to face Jaeyun.
“Dig in!” Mrs. Son exclaims and gestures to the expansive amount of food in front of you all. You don’t know where to begin but Heeseung helps you as he picks up the bowl of marrowfat peas and scoops some onto your glistening white plate. You hold it up as he continues to pile the plate with food for you, not asking what you like because through what seemed like 20 million conversations about you with Jake, he learned enough about you. Heeseung sets the tongs and spoon down in their respective places and glances at you.
“Thank you.” your voice comes out no louder than a whisper. Just like the pepper incident earlier, Jaeyun knew you well enough to cater to your needs and it made your stomach flip. He nods courteously and faces his fiance once again, leaving you grateful but your heart is tired of pretending that his actions aren’t making you fall more in love with him. All the effort you made to try and bury your feelings deeply is unraveling with every passing moment. 
“That okay?” It was more than okay, he picked all your favourites, but you simply nodded and smiled at him in gratitude and he smiled at you briefly before eating the food in front of him.
This was abnormal for you. Your parents were loving and affectionate of course, but you never really had dinner like this, a feast upon your eyes and having the option to choose. Usually, your mum or dad would come home from work, come in, find something in the freezer, and shove it into the oven. Nothing fancy, nothing extraordinary, but enough. You were always grateful. 
“Baby, can you pass the salt?” Jaeyun says lowly and without thinking you reach out and pass him it, which he accepts gladly. You don’t notice the air shift until Heeseung’s eyes fall on you, wide and uncomfortable, and unfortunately, he isn’t the only one with that look on his face. As you scan around, half of the table, including Mr. and Mrs. Sim are looking at you incredulously, and then it dawns on you what you did. You aren’t his baby anymore. 
Jaeyun is none the wiser, pouring the problematic salt on his food before setting it down and digging into his food. Yeoreum side-eyes you both, and only you seem to notice, making you extra uncomfortable because at least if Jaeyun acknowledged it, you could both cover your asses together, but you guess this is up to you now.
“Oh um, the salt was just there, thought I would save Yeoreum the hassle.” You say not daring to look at anyone. Your voice sparks Jaeyun’s attention and all eyes shift to him, who simply looks at you with confusion, but when your eyes plead with him to say something he understands the gravitas of the situation, “Thanks, Y/N. I guess the salt was closer to you.” 
It’s innocent, the scenario that just happened, but after the whispers, the apple juice, and now this, someone could easily suspect something. You nod and go to eating your food, however, you still feel eyes on you. Yeoreum. Her gaze is too intense for you not to feel but you don’t chance a look at her.
“Come here.” Heeseung’s raspy voice flutters through your ears and you look at him, his face inches from your own and then, his lips on your forehead. They felt different, foreign compared to your ex-lovers, but pleasant. Heeseung and you had observing your surroundings as a common trait so when he saw Yeoreum eyeing you, he had to throw her for a curve.
Yeoreum’s eyes widen and fall back to normal in record time causing Jaeyun to follow her stare.
Red. He sees red as he witnesses another man’s lips on you, regardless of who it is, it should only be his. He grips his cutlery tightly and rips his gaze away before he does something crazy like grab his best friend and beat him to the last inches of his life. 
“Hee, it’s okay.” You smile and place a hand over his, “Let's eat, yeah?” Jaeyun scoffs and flicks his food across the plate, suddenly losing his appetite. Jaeyun has always been jealous, this isn’t new information to you, but it makes your brain wonder how he still gets riled up like this even though he isn’t yours anymore. 
Your hand instinctively wants to reach to Jaeyun again to reassure him, but you stop yourself, aware of how that would make the situation a million times worse but also, he wasn’t yours to comfort. 
The meal goes on and no one bats an eye at you anymore, well, the two boys beside you steal glances as you all eat, but the majority have disregarded salt-gate and you’re thankful. 
“Jake, how is the new job?” This is the first time you’ve heard about his new life outside Yeoreum as Mrs. Son asks him the dull question and it makes you remember that the Jaeyun you knew wasn’t the Jaeyun sitting next to you right now.
“It’s good. I’m still learning the ropes but the team is super nice.” He smiles and bows his head lowly when addressing his seniors, something he always did with your parents. Maybe he hasn’t changed that much at all. The answer seems to be acceptable enough as Mrs Son smiles and doesn’t press further. 
Jaeyun smiles at you and his demeanor changes to one of glee, “You remember the Jo twins that started that enterprise with aerodynamic cars?” He asks quietly and you nod, eyes getting bigger as you piece the puzzle together before he can even finish the sentence, “Well for my dissertation I did a study on aerodynamic cars and their resiliency in weather adverse conditions, focusing on autonomous vehicles, and they loved it,” His eyes sparkled just like they did all those years ago when he spoke about science stuff, “Offered me a starting position with them in assisting the theory I proposed.” 
“What’s the job?” You whisper to him but don’t look up, playing with your food just as he did earlier in the evening. 
It was in that moment of Jaeyun speaking that you realised as unorthodox as your leaving was, it was 100 percent the right decision. He had stars in his eyes that would never shine as bright if he hadn’t gone to Apollo and got this opportunity, and for the first time this week, you’re content. Seeing him achieve a dream, or at least on the way to achieving it, made you feel elated. 
“I’m so proud of you, Jaeyun.” It was a sincere statement and Jaeyun smiled widely at your words, like they were the words he had been waiting to hear his whole life. His heart is beating rapidly and you think you can hear it thumping against his ribcage, but you don’t mention it. He thanks you and that’s when Yeoreum pulls you both back to reality.
“My Jakey is so smart, aren’t you.” She caught onto your conversation halfway through his excited outburst, “I have no clue what it means but-”
“So you would propose a framework that tested all the elements to understand just how reliable self-driving cars truly are when faced with weather stress and how to adapt them to overcome the stressors?” You don’t mean to butt in but you always loved to speak about these things with Jaeyun, even if it was basic-level knowledge you had.
His focus was on you, his puppy energy radiating through and if he had a tail, it would be wagging right now, “Exactly! Fuck, the main focus these developers had on the vehicles was sensors that focused on detecting other cars and members of the public but say there is a massive hurricane coming, the sensors would trip out, I proposed a study to test the sensors in adverse weather conditions; fog, rain, wind, heat, all of them.” 
Jaeyun rambles on about his theories and you fall right back into how it used to be. You listen intently and learn about something you didn’t care about until he starts speaking about it, and he teaches you something new. It was just like old times. Almost.
“Babe, Y/N doesn’t want to hear all that.” Yeoreum laughs and strokes his arm, “Sorry, Y/N, he gets into all this complicated sciencey stuff that no one has a clue about and forgets to stop.” You notice his face turn red in embarrassment as if he’s just been caught doing something indecent. There is a silence that follows Yeoreum’s words until you speak up.
“I think it’s interesting, I would love to hear more about it.” 
He’s so in love with you and he really feels it at its purest form in this moment. It’s a simple thing to listen to his interest and he’s grateful you want to engage more in it. You’ve always been like this, supportive of his ways, never judgmental or dismissive. He’s thankful for you.
“You might be the only one.” Yeoreum and her parents laugh, but as you scan the top half of the table, you see Mr and Mrs Sim smile at you, appreciative. You give Jaeyun a look as if to tell him to continue he shakes his head. “It’s okay, it’s boring anyway.” 
Your heart breaks a little seeing the fire in his eyes extinguish as he goes back to eating his food. There isn’t any part of you that hates Yeoreum, but right now you are not her biggest fan, but you let it go. His mood changed but he tried to hide it from everyone, smiling and laughing with them. Recklessly, you place a hand on his thigh and squeeze it to reassure him just like you always used to. Usually, it was to comfort him during his friend's teasing, but now seemed as good a time as ever. His eyes drop to where your hand is situated and he smiles, his left hand weighs itself on yours and he’s calmer. “Tell me later. I want to know all about it.” You whisper to him.
“Thank you, Princess.” The nicknames he used to call you fall so easily out his mouth that he never has time to stop them, but you don’t mind. “And by the way,” He says, his voice lower than ever, “I was asking you for the salt earlier.” 
______
The next day, Mrs. Son enters you and Eunseo’s temporary room as you straighten your hair. She is dressed up casually for the first time since you arrived, even her pyjamas seem classy and elegant, so as your eyes take in her loose mom jeans, a grey old university jumper that reads ‘Boston University’ across the chest, and her hair covered with a navy baseball cap. 
You remember all the walks you and the Sim family went on, your hand glued to Jaeyun’s as you took in the sights of the city, sometimes even taking hikes of your own early in the morning to watch the sunrise. It wouldn’t be like that this time.
“Girls, we’re going for a walk, Jake’s father's idea,” she rolls her eyes at Eunseo who chuckles, continuing to apply her strawberry chapstick, “Wear something comfortable.” Her sigh indicates that she is in fact not thrilled with the choice, never mind the clothing situation. Not to stereotype but it doesn’t seem that the Son family is common enough for a simple walk. 
“Um, I think I’ll stay here, this seems like a family thing.” Your voice is a whisper as you try to get out of seeing Yeoreum take your place beside Jaeyun. This was also a good time to get out of this house and go back home before the wedding. Eunseo shakes her head and stands up. 
“Be ready in 5 minutes.” Mrs. Son says and leaves the room. It doesn’t take 5 minutes because with Eunseo it takes 23 minutes and 13 seconds according to her dad who timed her. 
“Absolutely not! You’re coming with me. I need my girl to motivate me.” Her eyes are pleading and a pout forming on her lips and you find yourself saying yes, just like you did in that cafe earlier in the week. That was the poorest decision of your life so, this couldn’t be much worse. 
We walk downstairs to see everyone waiting and Mr Son is impatient, either from Eunseo’s lack of urgency or because he wants this over and done with just like his wife. “You guys are so impatient, I had to find these cute leggings!” Eunseo scoffs and turns around and models the navy blue leggings that do wonders for her ass.
Jaeyun’s eyes roam over your body as you bend down to put on a pair of old trainers Eunseo dug out from her cupboard so you could match “It’s important to colour match, Y/N! I have a pair of shoes in here just give me a minute” she told you. His teeth find their way to his lip as he bites down, the habit he picked up throughout your relationship because he could never hold in his want for you. Jaeyun wants nothing more than to grab your hips and hold you against him because truthfully he missed your body on his. 
“Eunseo, sweetie, you’re going for a walk, not to Seoul Fashion Week.” Mr. Son laughs and starts to tie his shoes. She looks disgusted at her father's insinuation that she would ever wear this outfit to a fashion week and grunts as she sits down, putting on her trainers. Unfortunately for you, you didn’t pack any appropriate attire for this so you’re clad in Eunseo’s tight leggings and crop top. It’s exposing and not something you usually wear but it was either that or a sundress and wedges. 
Scared of getting caught ogling you, he turns to his fiance and looks down as she clings to his arm, engrossed by a conversation she is having with his mum. He grabs her face towards his and kisses the side of her mouth, aching for a distraction from you but all his mind is occupied with is you. Even as he kisses Yeoreum, he’s thinking about how your lips used to taste, how they felt, he’s starting to forget how they feel and it sinks his heart into his stomach. All these years without you causing his memory to lapse, only remembering how you used to wear cherry lip balm, or was it oil? He needed to kiss you one more time just so he never forgets. 
He feels shitty using Yeoreum as a distraction, kissing her not because he inherently wants to but because at least it keeps his mind and eyes off you.
Yeoreum’s hands glide down his arm as she kisses him back, her lips soft but not yours. He knows it’s wrong, to be thinking about someone else while his fiance is draped over him, her hands in his and giggling as she smooches his face.
You finish tying your shoes and turn round to see Jaeyun’s hand on her waist and mouth all over hers and a wave of sickness comes over you, you can’t do this, not now and not ever. Every time you think you’re okay and can control your emotions he does something that sends you spiraling. 
A broad chest blocks your vision of him and you feel two big hands land on your shoulders. Heeseung. You glance up and softly smile at him in gratitude for tearing your eyes away from the horror scene of your love’s tongue down someone else’s throat. Heeseung’s hands squeeze your shoulders and his lips on your temple. You don’t recall Heeseung being affectionate like this before but it has been 4 years since you’ve seen him, he’s probably changed a lot, just like Jaeyun.
“Just stick beside me, yeah?” His voice is gentle and sweet, and you agree to stay with him. He has become your unofficial saviour this week and nothing you do will ever be enough to thank him. 
Mr. Sim clears his throat to disrupt the couple’s PDA and starts to speak, “We have two cars to get us to the trail since it’s only,” Mr Sim starts to count heads since some of the family are staying behind,“5,6…9 of us, we should be able to fit 5 and 4. I have a bigger car so I’ll take the 5, Jaeyun can take the 4. Who wants in what car?” 
Everyone looks around like it's the first day of school and you’re being asked to partner up. Yeoreum is the first to speak, raising her hand excitedly, “I’m in the car with Jakey obviously.” Jaeyun’s bottom lip protrudes as he nods his head. Of course, it made sense, but knowing you would have to witness her in the passenger seat, his hand probably laid on her thigh, you wanted in the other car more than anything else right now.
“I’ll go with Mr. Sim,” Jaeyun’s eyes dart to yours confused but you shrug it off. Eunseo, who is the opposite of Heeseung, seems to be your worst enemy this trip pipes in, “How about all the adults go in one car and we go in the other? I’m sure Y/N wouldn’t mind sitting on Heeseung’s lap, yeah?” Oh, you are going to kill her. Mr. and Mrs. Sim look between each other and share a personal laugh. You’re glad someone is finding it funny.
“Great! It’s settled then. Let us go.” Mrs. Son barges past everyone to get to her seat, mumbling annoyance along the way. 
“It’s fine, I hope you got some meat on those thighs.” You say trying to lighten the mood, and it works for a second. Heeseung laughs and wraps his arm around you and guides you to the car before whispering, “My thighs can hold you just fine, Y/N.” 
“You okay with that?” Heeseung’s voice is low but filled with concern, he knew what Eunseo was doing and he wasn’t uncomfortable with the idea, but considering you would rather ride with 4 parents, 2 of whom you don’t know and the other 2 aren’t exactly pitching for your team, he guessed you didn’t want to be in Jaeyun’s car.
Heeseung’s laugh runs through your ears and you feel instantly calm. 
Jaeyun and Yeoreum get in the front and the three of you sleek into the back. It’s in this moment that confusion clouds your face. “There are enough seats in here? Why would I have to sit on Heeseung’s lap?” Your question is pointed to Eunseo but Jaeyun answers,
“Oh, we have to pick someone up on the way.” His smile was bright and wide, “She’s a diva and likes her own seat.” Tilting your head at him, Jaeyun looks down and laughs lowly as if you should know.
“You can avoid Heeseung’s lap for now until we pick her up.” Eunseo states as she slides into her side. “But after that…” She winks at you as you scoot into the middle seat. Your best friend really was something else.
You decide to focus on the interior of Jaeyun’s old but new to you car. It’s a lot less shabby than the one you knew, with black leather seats that don’t have cracks in them from years of wear and tear, and his old cassette player has been upgraded to a built-in CD system. 
“Let’s put on some music!” Yeoreum says as she trifles through a CD case but Jaeyun quickly takes it from her and laughs nervously.
“Why don’t you take the aux like always? I've said before these CD's aren't your thing.” Jaeyun puts the CDs in his glove box and continues to drive forward. It piqued your curiosity about what was in the case. Probably a surprise wedding mixtape he spent forever on with all Yeoreum’s favourite songs, just like he used to do with you. That sickness from earlier starts to bubble, but you swallow it down. 
“Fine. Y/N, what do you like to listen to? I know everyone else’s taste but yours!” Yeoreum is so sweet, and it’s killing you a little. If only she was a bitch. 
“Um, I think everything,” You say as you watch her add songs into a queue, clearly picking an eclectic mix to keep everyone happy. 
The car jerks forward as Jaeyun almost emergency brakes when Heeseung calls you angel. You’re body lunges forward a little at the jerk but Heeseung shields your body, acting as another seatbelt. “Mate, watch what you’re doing.” Heeseung scorns his best friend as he rubs your arms, “You good?” Nodding in response you get comfy again.
“Put some Monsta X on,” Heeseung’s face turns to you as he speaks. “She loves them, don’t you, angel?” 
The rest of the car is filled with Yeoreum’s hand-selected playlist and tension between the driver seat and the one behind.
Jaeyun turns into a quaint little area with a few shops and buildings about 20 minutes into the drive. “Are we here already?” you ask Heeseung but he shakes his head. “Did you forget we have a passenger princess to pick up?” You let out a silent ‘oh’ and nod. 
As the car stops in the parking lot you shift a little uncomfortable. “I’m going to stretch my legs.” Heeseung steps out of the car to let you out but you stumble out of the car, luckily, Jaeyun is there to catch you, his hands placed on your shoulders to stop you from face-planting. He doesn’t say a word but his expression is laced with concern to which you shake your head and whisper a thank you.
You brush yourself down and straighten up. “I’ll be back in a minute.” He says to you and lets his hand linger down your arm. All you can do is nod and watch him leave.
“You know her well.” Oh no. Not another ghost from 4 years past. You can’t face another stern face cursing you to oblivion for your previous actions. 
“Who are we picking up?” You stretch your right leg and look at Heeseung who laughs. 
Yeoreum squeals and gets out of the car, “There she is!” Your sights set on Yeoreum and follow to where she is staring and your heart leaps out of your mouth. As you cross round the car you see the familiar blonde charging her way to you.
“Layla!” You shout, a shit-eating grin plastered on your face as the dog bounds towards you, happiness evident on her face. 
In a blur, you kneel down and she jumps up to give your face sloppy licks. Layla was Jaeyun’s family dog, a precious piece of their family, and admittedly your favourite, even before Jaeyun. “Whose my good girl?” You hug her tight as she barks, her tail wagging excitedly, the feeling of missing each other is mutual. Ruffling her coat she jumps around you and barks loudly. Jaeyun smiles down at you both, and you smile back at him, however, you’re the only two smiling as Yeoreum and Eunseo have a look of bewilderment.
“I thought you said she was reserved around new people?” Eunseo asks Yeoreum who hums to confirm. 
You miss out on this as you give Layla long-awaited kisses and cuddles, whispering ‘I missed you’ and ‘good girl’ into her fur. 
“Um, Jakey? Isn’t Layla shy around people she doesn’t know? She was like that with me when I first met her.” The question from his fiance brings him back to earth and his smile wipes from his face, clearing his throat to buy him some time to think of an excuse.
“Eh, maybe she just trusts Y/N because she’s with all of us.” A pathetic reasoning but you weren’t exactly any help, too busy playing with the excited animal.
Shit.
Heeseung crouches beside you and gives Layla a pet, nudging you in the process, “Remember where you are, Y/N.” 
You look around and everyone’s eyes are on you. “She must just sense I’m a dog person. Are you a dog or cat person, Yeoreum?” If there was one thing you perfected over the years it’s how to deflect situations onto another person and that's through the art of asking them questions about themself.
“I like dogs!” She smiles, “But I do like cats.” Her pondering face is matched with her hand on her cheek, “Jakey, do you think she didn’t take to me because I like cats?”
“Yes!” Jaeyun claps and points to her excitedly, happy to have a reason for this scenario in front of him. “Must be that, Reumie.” His shoulders relax and his eyes fix on Layla. She’s clueless, just happy that you’re back.
Getting back into the car you sit on Heeseung’s lap and Layla looks at you, like if she focuses on anyone else you’ll disappear again. You pet her to reassure her and it doesn’t take long for her to lay her head on your thigh, just happy for your presence. Jaeyun’s heart flips at the scene as he watches it through the rearview mirror. 
As you’re getting comfy on Heeseung’s thighs, you hover a little to not put all the pressure of you on him, but Heeseung is Heeseung and he notices. His hands grip your waist and plonk you down until your whole weight is on him. “You won’t break me.” He chuckles and rubs circles into your hips. A slight nod of your head is all you offer him and you get comfy.
Jaeyun starts the car, reversing out the car park, one arm resting on the seat as he looks behind him, for a split second he looks your way but quickly goes back to focusing on not crashing the car, his tongue pointed out the side of his mouth in concentration. You shift in Heeseung’s lap as heat bubbles in your stomach. There is something about Jaeyun driving that always made you think out of church hour thoughts, the way the veins run up his arm, how his tongue pokes out and wets his lips, his one hand on the wheel reversing, it was all so hot. There were times on occasion you couldn’t handle it and got him to take you in the backseat, those were not the thoughts you need right now while you’re on his best friend’s lap. 
“Hey,” Heeseung rips your gaze from Jaeyun’s hand with his voice as you turn your head to him, his voice low enough only you can hear, “If you leave a wet patch on my sweatpants I will have you pay for my dry cleaning.” He huffs out a laugh as your face falls and goes bright red.
“I-I, shut up, Hee!”  You whisper and slap his chest. 
__
One hour later you arrive and see the couple’s parents waving Jaeyun over. As he parks the car you all clamber out and greet the others, Layla ping-ponging herself between you and Jaeyun. 
A tap on your shoulder has you turning to face a serious Eunseo, “How did you know her name was Layla?” The question catches you for a new one but you just spout the same excuse you have this whole trip. 
“Jake told me.” 
“You know.” She crosses her arms and taps her foot a few times before continuing, “You seem to have spoken to Jake a lot and yet, I haven’t seen you talk to him once.” The tone of her sentence is accusatory but you keep calm.
She hums, “He knew about your distaste for black pepper, you knew he was captain of his high school football team, and I heard him request a vegetarian dish for you to our cook so I presume he knows you hate red meat. All that was way before dinner.” Her stance is strong as she leans back and waits for you to explain, but you can’t.
“W-what do you mean? We spoke last night, about his job and stuff,” your hand points to her, palm faced forward, “you saw.”
“Oh Eunseo, Jaeyun is actually the love of my life, we dated for about 4 years and then I left without a word. Now he’s going to marry your sister and I want to die at the thought.” 
That is what you probably shouldn’t say, so you settle with, “Just small talk I guess.” A nervous laugh leaves you but she doesn’t let up. “Y/N-”
At the same time Eunseo is saying your name, Heeseung comes over and hugs you from behind, “You coming, ladies? Or do you want to stay here with all the screaming children?” Heeseung points over Eunseo’s shoulder to the crying toddler and their sleep-deprived parents.
“You two need to be more careful. If Eunseo finds out, she tells Yeoreum, and I don’t think you want to be the topic of that conversation right before the wedding, yeah?” 
“Coming!” You say and rush off, grabbing Heeseung’s hand and getting you both out of Eunseo’s earshot. “Thank you.”
He’s right. He always is and it exudes a heavy sigh from your lips. “I know, it’s just so easy to forget.” You admit and his silent nod is all you need before the group of you head for your walk.
It’s peaceful, every so often you throw a stick for Layla, and chatter amongst the parents is all you hear as you make it your mission to not look Jaeyun’s way. Eunseo walks alongside the happy couple and you do as Heeseung suggested and stay by his side. The scenery takes your breath away, the golden sun burning your skin, not a cloud in sight. You take some time to reflect on the past 4 years and realise the sun doesn’t come out so much in Pyeongchang. 
“Y/N?” You turn to see Yeoreum looking at you, “Can I ask you something?” Oh no. Eunseo told her, fuck, maybe Mrs. Sim did. Is she going to throw you over the cliff, is all this one big ploy to get rid of you? 
“Oh, sure.” You look away and prepare for the worst-case scenario.
“Tell us more about your ex. I can’t stop thinking about it.” Your eyes widen and look straight at Jaeyun who, despite his golden skin, is suddenly pale white. “I don’t know why you broke up with him if you were so perfect for each other.” 
Jaeyun and Heeseung look at each other in confusion. They weren’t there for the conversation when the football game was going on, so they had no idea what Yeoreum was talking about.
“Yeah!” It’s Eunseo’s turn to chime in, “Y/N is such a closed book, I still know hardly anything about her. Tell us. You said you had challenges.”
“I-”
“It’s not really our business though, it is? We don’t have to know.” Heeseung speaks up in your defense but Yeoreum just scoffs. “I know about everyone’s exes, I love hearing about them. I know all about yours,” She points to Heeseung, “I of course know all about Jake’s.” She rolls her eyes as she spits the last sentence out, clearly, Jaeyun had said some bitter things about you, but you don’t mind. You deserved it. “So tell us about yours, Y/N. Jake, you should have seen the way she spoke about him! It was true love, I know it, maybe we can give you advice and get back together?”
Jaeyun coughs and looks up to the sky, wishing a bright light would come from between the clouds and either obliterate him like in that War of the Worlds movie.
“It was just,” You stop, uncomfortable at the idea that the subject of conversation is only a meter from you. Maybe this was your chance to really explain yourself in a controlled environment where emotions had to be under control, not like that night in the kitchen. 
“I just was scared I think. I didn’t really handle the situation well. I was scared of long distance so I didn’t tell him I was going to college in Pyeongchang and just up and left.” 
“I thought it was the right call. He had dreams, and honestly? He would have given all of it up for me. His dream school, his future, just to follow me and I didn’t want to live with the guilt of it.” Your head hangs low, and Heeseung’s hand grazes yours in an attempt to comfort you. “In the moment, I thought it was the right choice.”
“Damn,” Eunseo slows down her pace and looks at you, “You mean you just, left him behind?” 
Eunseo stops completely, “Your parents…”
“Left them behind too. I didn’t want to risk him finding out where I was going. I didn’t tell anyone. Literally.” It was all clicking in Eunseo’s head and her jaw hung open.
“That’s cold, Y/N. I can’t imagine how he feels. Does he know where you are now?” Yeoreum asks the wrong questions every single time and you almost laugh at the irony.
You shrug, “I-” 
“What do you think about it now?” The Australian accent jolts you to attention and interrupts what would have been a lie. Turning your head to him you wish he wasn’t looking at you with his eyes wide, like they’re desperate for something only you can give him.
Swallowing you nod slowly, “I think- I think I made the wrong choice.” You should have stopped the sentence there but you continue, “He’s everything to me still, I would do anything to go back and change it.”
In another world, Jaeyun is tearing himself away from Yeoreum, picking you up, and kissing you because you are the only one that matters. But this isn’t a romance movie, and you’re both deep in this tangled mess.
“I think you should reach out. Then you can have what me and Jake have.” A scoff is heard behind you. Turning, you view Heeseung with disgust on his face, his jaw is clenched and his eyes don’t even give Yeoreum the time of day. “What? You don’t think she could have that?” 
“I think Y/N can have anything she wants,” He’s biting his tongue. Jaeyun’s gaze is looking pleadingly at his best man to shut the fuck up. He doesn’t, “It’s just Y/N is describing a love that sounds like once in a lifetime.”
It’s Yeoreum’s time to stop in her tracks. “And you think Jake and I don’t have that?”
“Yes.” If gagged had a visual representation next to its definition in the dictionary, it would be a still-frame picture of your face right now. “It’s not that you don’t love each other obviously,” damage control Heeseung was coming to fruition as he saw the shocked faces staring at him, “It’s just love like that isn’t easy to find.” He mumbles, cursing under his breath that he even opened his mouth. 
“Well, for your information, Heeseung I brought Jake back to life after his high school relationship. He was nothing but a hollow body until he met me. If it wasn’t a ‘once in a lifetime love’” She air quotes the phrase, “then he would still be moping around over a shitty, second string ex that never deserved him.”
“Enough.” Jaeyun’s voice is stern, not like you’ve ever heard before, “Both of you just shut up. I love Yeoreum,” He faces Heeseung almost trying to convince him, “I wouldn’t be marrying her otherwise, “and you don’t get to shit on my ex.” His attention now on his fiance, “You don’t know her, she had her reasons, and yeah she hurt me, but she deserved all the love I gave her. So keep her out of your mouth. Got it?” 
Maybe Yeoreum’s face right now should be next to gagged in the dictionary. Scratch that, just have this whole scenario play out on a projector. Jaeyun strides ahead, annoyed that anyone in their right mind would ever say anything like that about you. The silence is loud as you all continue your walk, Layla still none the wiser.
As you reach the top of the trail, Jaeyun’s emotions have settled but he doesn’t look at you or Yeoreum once, focused on the sun. Even though it’s shining bright, it’s a lot colder with the breeze from the height where he stood.
Layla is pulling at you to follow her and with her leash in hand you do. She paws at Jaeyun who looks down with a smile and pets her head. “I’m sorry.” He whispers and you take a moment to register he’s talking to you. “She shouldn’t have said that.”
Your heart beats loudly because even after all this time he’s still looking out for you, still caring about your feelings even though he would have every right to hate you and curse you just like Yeoreum had.
“Jaeyun, It’s okay. She’s not wrong. It was shitty.” You suck your teeth and then you laugh, “You’re gonna be a terrifying dad,” He doesn’t say anything but his eyebrows scrunch together, “The way you put them both in their place, I’ve never seen you get angry.”
“Ah, that’s not true.” Now it was your turn to adorn a face of confusion, “Your birthday party, with Sunghoon?” Oh. Yeah. That. You shift from one foot to another, wrapping Layla’s lead around one of your hands. “I think that was the only time though.”
“I’m sorry about that.” He laughs loudly and shakes his head. “Baby, that was like 7 years ago. I forgive you. I forgave you that night.”
“Then go forgive Yeoreum.” The statement causes Jaeyun to lean back. “You should forgive her. It wasn’t nice but she didn’t mean it like that, she was protecting you because she loves you. If you can forgive me that easy then you can do the same for her.”
He sighs and sticks his hands in his pockets. “It’s easy to forgive you.” 
“Do you?” Your voice is a whisper, your heart rapidly hitting against your chest, “Forgive me.”
Jaeyun nods his head slowly and turns to face you properly, “Yeah. Yeah, I do.”
Taking his hand out of his pocket he grabs yours and squeezes it. He loves you and that is never going to change. It’s just that he loves Yeoreum now. You can try to find contentment in that.
_______
For the car ride back, Yeoreum storms into the backseat without giving any warning, clearly mad at her future husband. Heeseung guides Layla into the middle seat before situating himself on the seat beside her and waiting for you to crawl onto his lap. That however does not happen. Eunseo decides to sit on Heeseung’s lap instead and he is less than impressed. “Um, Eunseo?” She turns to Heeseung as if sitting on his lap is the most obvious decision in the world. “What? I’m not sitting next to him after he shouted at my sister.” Jaeyun opens the driver seat and throws himself down onto the leather, muttering a barely heard ‘I didn’t shout’. You look at Heeseung to help you out but he shrugs and mouths a sorrowful ‘Sorry.’ which is no comfort at all. “Y/N can sit in the front.” Yeoreum huffs and you follow her instruction mindlessly. You get into the passenger side and buckle your seatbelt for the awkward 2 hours that await. 
“Let me put on some music, yeah?” Your voice is calm and quiet like you’re trying not to disrupt the tension. Heeseung is the only one to agree but you still grab the aux and plug your phone in. Unlike Yeoreum, you don’t ask what songs people want and settle for one of your playlists but just as you go to hit play, your phone says it’s at 5% and you mentally curse yourself for taking so many pictures. You have a choice; you can either play the songs right now and have your phone die in 2 minutes, or sit in silence. You sit for a while and the silence causes Jaeyun to turn to you.
“You okay?” he asks and you hum explaining about your phone, “Here.” Opening the glove box he hands you the CDs he hid from Yeoreum and she notices, crossing her arms and holding back from making a sarky comment.
Flicking through the CDs you see the mixtapes he made over the years until one stops you dead. ‘Y/N #1’. Your fingers flip through and all of them are named something similar all the way to ‘Y/N #38’. The last one has drawings of rings and keys all around it and you lightly trace your fingers over it, scared that if you touch it you’ll break it. 
To confirm your theories, you pick it out and enter it into the CD player and your heart skips at least 5 beats as the first notes play from Love is All Around by Wetter. You choke on nothing as the memories of that night come flooding back to that night. He had taken all those cassette tapes and made them into CDs. Even after you abandoned him he still took the time to transfer every single mixtape. Your chest feels heavy and you feel like you’re going to pass out until Jaeyun places a hand on your thigh to calm you down. His touch is so familiar and comforting that instantly you feel relief wash over you, your hand intertwining with his. Just like how you used to be, you’re seeking his comfort. 
Yeoreum is in too much of a sour mood to notice how his thumb rubs your skin, and how his whole body suddenly feels like it’s found the missing limb that’s been detached from him. But Heeseung doesn’t. He sees it all and he wants to cuss you both out for being so obvious. Still, instead, he’s engaging Eunseo in meaningless conversation, distracting her of any chance to see how Jaeyun has his fingers tracing hearts into your thigh.
As the song’s final chorus blares through the speakers he brings your hand to his lips and kisses it gently. It’s a foolish move and Heeseung panics, looking between the sisters to see if any of them notice and somehow they don’t. He is going to have some words for you both when they all get back. 
Alan Watt’s monologue at the end of the song doesn’t help the way you’re feeling, like for the first time in years you are exactly where you should be, with the love of your life. But his hand leaves yours as the journey goes on due to worrying that Yeoreum could turn her head and see it, and you’re pulled back to reality. He isn’t yours, and he’s getting married in two days.
____
Stepping out of the car you watch as everyone walks into the house, some sullen, and some oblivious about what happened. You wish you were the latter. Jaeyun walks with his hands in his pockets, head down as he follows a pouty Yeoreum up the stairs and into their bedroom. The house’s once light atmosphere is now heavy and by this point, everyone can feel it. Mr. Sim pulls Heeseung to the side and they share a whisper. Mrs & Mr. Son kidnap Mrs. Sim and Eunseo to the kitchen to help them prepare dinner.
You don’t follow your best friend, instead, you tread up the grand staircase, ready to shower and wash off the antics of today, craving the battering of hot water against your skin. Your foot is not but a second on the first floor when you hear shouting. It’s muffled and honestly, you shouldn’t be listening but you’re nosey and you one hundred percent know who it is.
“I just don’t understand why you shouted at me like that. And in front of our friends!” Yeoreum cries out. Don’t eavesdrop your mind is telling you, but your feet are gingerly walking to their door, it lays slightly ajar.
You don’t see lots but you can see Yeoreum’s back and sometimes when she moves, you can see Jaeyun. He looks lost, guilty, and bored all at once.
“Reumie, I did not shout at you. I told you to not speak about my ex. What is your fascination with her? You bring her up whenever you get the chance.” 
Yeoreum scoffs and folds her arms, one foot pointed out to the right and her hip jutted out. “Me?! Fascination?! You have some nerve to ask me that.” Jaeyun looks at her confused, “Jake, you are so sensitive whenever I bring her up.”
“Because she’s my fucking ex, Yeoreum. It’s a sensitive fucking topic for a lot of people believe it or not. I told you talking about her makes me uncomfortable” He’s mad and he’s scared she’ll say something that will have him saying something regretful. Jaeyun’s hands are in front of him and his fingers are joined as he tries to calm down. “Look, let’s just forget it-”
“Get over it, Jake. She probably has. I am the one who got you out of your rut, I am the one who held you on those nights you’d cry over her wishing she would come back even though I, your girlfriend, was right there, and I sure as hell am the one you asked to marry you.”
Jaeyun stills at the memories of him laying on his dorm bed, willing you to come home to him, Yeoreum hugging him from behind, lulling him to calm down. He couldn’t even pretend to care about her presence when thoughts of you struck into his mind. She didn’t deserve the way he was back then and he’s surprised she stayed around.
Jaeyun opens his mouth but she cuts him off before he can even respond, her eyes are on him with a deadly stare, “Do you still love her?” It’s his turn to scoff but she doesn’t let up, “Tell me you don’t love her, and I’ll put it all behind me. I will forget this ever happened and drop it.” She knows the answer, but she wants him to lie to her.
“I- Yeoreum everyone still has feelings for their first love.”
“If she walked through that door right now, would you leave me for her?” 
A gentle hand enveloped the top of your arm, causing you to gasp and turn around panicked. Mr. Sim’s gaze meets yours. He gently leads you from the door and into your room, “I think you’ve heard enough.” Although the statement can come across as rude from anyone else, his tone is comforting. He was taking you away from the possibility of the answer you knew he was going to say. Of course not. He wouldn’t leave her if his ex walked into his life again because you did walk back in and he is still very much engaged.
Jaeyun’s dad shuts the door behind him and sighs, “Y/N, Heeseung told me what happened.” You nod.
“It wasn’t a big argument, they’ll get over it in a minute.” Looking up you see him shaking his head and waltzing towards you, guiding you both to sit on the edge of the bed.
“He told me everything.” Oh. You nod again, this time heavy and with dread, as you think about the prospect of how this conversation will go. 
The next words to leave his mouth are not in a million years what you would have guessed,  “Thank you.” Shifting your body to face him completely you stretch your neck forward to make sure you heard him correctly, eyelids invisible as your eyebrows dart up.
Mr. Sim laughs and gently shakes your leg affectionately. “I know I didn’t give you the best welcome back reaction but you have to understand.” You daren’t say a word, trying to listen carefully, “When you left, you left behind my son but you took him with you. His livelihood, his character, his heart, he lost himself and I think it’s because you accidentally packed him up with your bags.”
“I’ll be candid, we lost all respect for you,” His face is sour and all you can do is nod because he had every right to feel this way, “But after these past few days, and Heeseung telling me why you left, I realise I have to thank you.”
The guilt your heart feels is astronomical, you knew it would hurt him, but something about the way his dad is putting it is like having someone poke multiple pins in your heart and dragging them down slowly, and painfully, torturing you as you awaited death.
“Why? You should hate me, you said yourself, I destroyed him.”
“Emotionally at the time, yes. But every step you took was always with his interest at the forefront. You knew he would reject Apollo if you told him you weren’t going with him.” A chuckle leaves his lips and his hand pats your leg again, “One thing about my boy? He is stupid when it comes to mind over heart. And you are so smart, baby girl.” Mr. Sim’s eyes are just as they used to be, full of adoration for you.
“If Jaeyun had left with you, he might have started to resent you and the relationship, wondering if he made the right choice, it would cause arguments, you’d drift and it would all have been for nothing. You saw that didn’t you?”
Yes. That is exactly how you saw it. When you made the decision to not tell him, long distance was your main reason, but as you stewed with it for years you truly know the guilt of keeping him from his dream school and ultimately sabotaging his future was the main reason. You wouldn’t be able to look him in the eye. “Something like that.” Is all you mutter to him, “I knew how hard he worked for all of it, Busan, Apollo, his career, I didn’t want him to jeopardise it for some girl. And he always said long-distance scared him.” Tears are ricocheting down your face and you taste the salt as the liquid slips past your lips. For the first time, your feelings and actions are being validated.
“He also got Yeoreum.” You say smiling sadly. He grabs your chin and turns your face to his delicately.
“My son was always your number one priority, even when you didn’t realise it. Now do I wish there was a better way you could have gone about this? Categorically so.” He laughs and for the first time in the whole conversation so do you, nodding your head and your eyes looking up. “But you deserve a thank you because look what he has; honours in one of the most prestigious colleges in the country, a job he loves and is so dearly passionate about, I mean really, I cannot get him to shut up about it,”
“Do you love him?” You agree without hesitation and try to focus on anything but his eyes, too painful and far too similar to his son’s. “Then let me give you some advice,” Shouting can be heard, Jaeyun and Yeoreum’s voices getting louder but you’re too busy hanging on to every word Mr. Sim is speaking to tune in, “Do what you think is best, for you and him, either together or separate. You’ll make the right choice, Y/N. I know that now.”

Tumblr media
You’re still surprised Shoko knows this many people. But then again a part of you isn’t.
The Halloween party fills every inch of her nice Tokyo apartment. The array of colored lights dance against the wild costumes and you wonder if you’ve slipped into a pocket of wonderland.
Taking a sip of your drink you also now curiously wonder if your faux blood sucking boyfriend has fallen down a rabbit hole himself.
The original plan was to go in matching couples outfits. But once your slightly erratic boyfriend spotted the dracula outfit at the costume store his grabby hands immediately snagged it.
“I’ll look hotter in this one. You understand right, angel?” Satoru triumphant grin said enough.
Begrudgingly, you did. And you couldn’t deny how gorgeous he looked.
White summer cloud hair slicked back, the realistic fake vampire fangs he wore, and even borrowing your eyeliner to add shadow like depth around his piercing baby blues -
He was the dream of every dark supernatural romance novel.
Now among the blaring music and excited chatter of the party your handsome vampire has slipped through your fingers.
Your feet are starting to ache and your soft bed is calling you home. So you decide to scan the crowd for him.
From your spot in the kitchen your attention flickers out to the thick of the party in the living room. You spot Haibara laughing so bright and looking adorable in his spooky scarecrow costume. Nanami stands beside him, simple devil horns on top of his head and a slightly amused grin coloring his distinguished features.
Geto, dressed in his rather impressive phantom of the opera costume, has been attracting a small crowd. He sits on the couch telling scary stories with the others around him. The look of both a composed storyteller and eager listener paints his handsome face even with the mask covering half his face.
Your eyes continue their search among the party.
Along the stretch of the wall lined with grand windows stands an ink blot like figure.
The apartment’s dim soft lighting mixes with the fun colorful lights strung up. Strange shadows fall among the space and at times you’ve caught it playing tricks on your eyes.
Except you clearly can focus on the striking presence across from you.
The stranger wears an all black cloak that makes them stick out against the windows.
And they wear a ghost face mask that completely obstructs any hope of discovering who this is.
The mask stares out so blankly and it’s a bit unnerving.
People chat unphased. A small group even starts an impromptu dance circle at the new upbeat pop song playing. Everyone exists unaware, or possibly uncaring, at the strange presence of the ghost face.
Yet this person stands so still. The mask also seems to be staring directly at you.
It could be someone needing a small break from the party the same way you lingered in the kitchen alone.
Then ghost face lifts a gloved finger up to the mask’s lips.
Shh…
A strange flutter you can’t fully describe rises in your gut. You simply brush off the action as someone being funny.
You now leave the kitchen to fully hunt for your missing boyfriend.
“Have you seen Gojo?” You ask around but the answers are all the same.
“Nope!” Haibara’s bright response comes with an unworried smile.
“No thank goodness,” the same answer comes from both Nanami and Utahime.
“Maybe he turned into a bat and flew away.” Geto, ever the teasing jokester, has you rolling your eyes.
Shoko jokingly even says “who?” when you ask her.
Now you think your boyfriend has decided to be childish and hide in the bathrooms or closet. Because who else would try to be funny and run away during a party but Gojo.
Shoko, with a carefree wave, grants you free range to explore her place.
You’ve been here plenty of times, but now with so many people in the space an annoyed edge bubbles in you. You want to go home. Now you’re having to peek around hoping to spot your ridiculous boyfriend. And there are no signs of him.
Annoyed and frustrated you snag your phone to simply message him.
[Where are you?!]
It takes a moment, but a message comes in from ‘My Bestest Most Handsome Boyfriend Ever.’
Said boyfriend simply replies with one lone emoji.
[🤫]
Another message rushes in. It again is nothing but emojis.
[🤭😘]
Simmering annoyance doubles, tempting to turn into frustration, and you rapidly message him back.
[Satoru I wanna go home and if you keep up this up I’m leaving you]
You’d call a ride or see if someone can take you back. You would leave him here.
A notification chime comes.
[let’s play a game baby 🤍]
[oh so me trying to find your ridiculous ass around Shoko’s apartment isn’t a game?]
[so rude!]
[but maybe it is 😜]
You call his phone. It goes straight to voicemail and you want to scream.
You angrily type out another message and hit send.
[fine whatever, you do whatever you want I’ll see you at home]
His reply rushes in surprisingly fast.
[head home angel, I’ll see you when I get there 🤍]
Now that sparks a strange curious peak in you.
But still so annoyed you angrily close your messages. You’re about to head out of the corner of the hallway you’ve been hanging out in.
So deep in your thoughts, you take one step and run into someone -
The ghost face stranger.
You thankfully don’t collide into him. However, your step falters seeing how close the person is to you.
The black robed body fully faces you, their back to the party, as they stand so direct.
“Oh, uh excuse me.” You mutter and avert your eyes worried as you slide past the stranger.
Not a sound comes, not even a reply. The chilling silence, the looming presence, the dark shadow blocking out the light, it feels like you’re trying to tiptoe past something dangerous.
Out of the hallway you check your phone again.
Still nothing from Gojo.
“Fine, stay here.” You huff out loud thinking maybe he’ll hear you.
A soft whisper of your boyfriend’s voice comes.
“…Baby…”
It cuts through the party even on the gentle breeze you heard it. Quickly you look around, but nothing. Still no sign of Satoru. You glance over your shoulder to check behind you.
Instead of being at the previous spot in the highway, ghost face now peers out from the edge of the hallway's entrance.
The plastic hollow mask continues staring so directly at you that a strange unsettled alarm twists your stomach.
It couldn’t be….
But then again…
You shake away curious and cloudy thoughts wanting to form. Turning on your heels you rush to Shoko’s side and announce you’re going to head out.
Nanami, like a true golden knight he should’ve dressed as, offers to drive you home. Haibara happily decides to tag along. Before you head out, a message alert rings from your phone.
[Come find me downstairs!]
You groan. Of course he managed to slip away from the apartment entirely.
“Sorry guys. I’ll meet you two down in the garage. I think I know where my idiot ran off too.” You sigh and thankfully Nanami understands with his saintly patience.
As you slip into the hallway, the noise of the party fades into a muted soft hum.
After navigating Shoko’s labyrinth-like apartment building you arrive at the main floor downstairs. And of course, your boyfriend again is nowhere to be found. In fact, the beautiful sleek modern lobby is vacant. Normally someone sits at the front desk that is currently empty. In the dark evening, the quiet lurks with an unsettling hollowness.
So you quickly message Gojo.
[where are you??]
No response.
You should’ve known this was going to happen.
The eerie silence, the lack of commotion in this normally occupied space, a strange anxiety swarms in your chest. It drains out the annoyance you had for your boyfriend because now, you just want to leave.
Not wanting to stay here anymore you simply head to the elevator and press the button for the garage.
Footsteps echo behind you and you turn.
Behind you is the ghost face stranger.
Standing so terrifyingly still a chill runs up your back as if you’re staring down an actual ghost, trying to process if this being is real or not. The hollowed out eyes, the deep morphed wide frown, all of it intensifies against the pristine lobby.
Then ghost face tilts their head. The small movement seems so innocent, curious even.
The elevator dings its arrival. Hesitantly you step into the lift while trying to keep your eyes on the stranger.
Once fully inside, a moment of pause comes. It again is just you and the mysterious figure staring at the other.
Suddenly, as if possessed, ghost face runs straight towards you.
Fear rips into you visceral and dizzying. You choke on a scream. Faster and faster he approaches. You shakily scramble to slam on the button to close the elevator doors.
The black robed stranger races closer.
The doors start closing. An arm outstretches hopeful to stop the elevator and terror sinks its fangs into you.
The doors however shut fast.
You’re left staring at the white masks unflinching. The doors fully shut and you watch ghost face disappear out of sight.
The elevator ride is quiet, but your loud heartbeat drums rapidly in your ears. The taste of fear in your mouth has you wondering if you unknowingly transformed into a small creature fleeing from a monster in the woods.
You exhale slowly trying to steady yourself.
The garage thankfully arrives quickly and Nanami and Haibara already wait for you there.
“Are you alright? You seem shaken up.” Nanami notices you with keen eyes.
“Yeah!” You lie as truthfully as you can, even summoning a smile to add to it. “Just feeling a little under the weather now. So I’m just ready to get home.”
That appeases Nanami and the three of you head out.
“So did you find where Gojo went!?”
“No.” You sigh, answering Haibara’s bright question.
“I’m sure he just got called away somewhere and forget to tell you!” He positively suggests.
“Or he’s just playing a trick on me thinking he’s being cute when he’s actually just being a headache.” Your dull annoyed comment has Nanami snorting amused and it warms you.
It helps as a chill air breathes into the dark evening. Softly, a distant rumble of thunder comes. A storm approaches. As you head up to the apartment you already happily think of cozy blankets to end the night.
“Satoru!” You call out.
Silence greets you. So much for meeting you at home.
You start the search again. The bathroom, the extra guest bedroom and even the guest bathroom are all once again Gojo-less. You even check underneath the bed and feel silly when you open up the laundry hamper thinking he could have squeezed himself in there as a prank.
But you realize you would’ve at least heard ridiculous giggling at this point. So, you give up.
Ready to turn in for the night you exhaustedly slip out of your costume and into cozier clothes.
You also decide to try calling your dumb boyfriend again. You left your phone charging in the kitchen and head back to grab it.
A flash of lightning comes, a bright surprise illumination dancing from the window. It draws your attention away for a split moment.
You turn and now before you the ghost face masked stranger stands in your kitchen.
Terror seizes you and you freeze in its grasp.
Ghost face’s presence in your warmly light kitchen reminds you of someone taking a sharpie and placing a solid swipe against a scenic painting. It is a terrifying distortion.
“Satoru.” You snap even though your voice wavers.
The masked stranger shakes their head.
No.
“Sorry doll,” You don’t recognize the voice replying to you. It’s deep warped and distorted. Plus your boyfriend never once called you that - doll.
“Don’t know who this Satoru guy is, but he’s lucky gettin’ to come home to you.” The deep and static like masculine voice purrs.
Your heart drops into your stomach
Now truly staring at the cloaked intruder, you realize how large ghost face is. His broad shoulders fill out the space and he radiates an imposing looming force.
Your eyes stay focused on him but you realize if you move fast, you could maybe reach your phone charging.
So you bolt with all your might.
But the masked man is faster.
In two rapid steps he stops you. With a gloved hand the stranger yanks you into his hold. A scream almost escapes you. But it’s knocked out when ghost face curls around you from behind.
A strong sturdy arm wraps itself across your chest.
“Now now doll,” the intruder tsks light. “And here I thought we could play a lil’ game.”
The gleam of the knife comes first from the corner of your eye. Then, the pointed tip starts running up the side of your body with a delicate leisure ease.
Your eyes go wide as the large kitchen knife effortlessly tracing up a path closer to you. It drags across your clothes, slow and unbothered in its pace.
“You know,” ghost face muses. “You really are a cute one.”
A twinkling glee leaks into the distorted voice.
“Let’s play that game I mentioned, yeah?” He continues.
Your throat goes dry as the knife now drags easily up your chest closer to your face.
“I’m a big fan of hide and seek.” The masked man purrs.
The solid arm that was across your chest now slides up allowing his gloved hand to softly curl around your neck. There is no pressure, just the simple chilling sensation of his presence against your skin. It’s a reminder that at any moment he could tighten his hand on your throat.
“You’re just so cute that I wanna chase ya and keep you forever.” His voice manages to drop deeper, entrenched in something dreadfully haunting.
“I’ll give you five minutes to go run and hide,” he whispers softer and deeper. The white plastic of the mask gingerly scrapes against your face. Your body coils a tense knot of emotions you can’t even seem to sort through.
“And then, I’ll go and find you.” His voice oozes out a rich low confidence.
Then cool metal presses against your cheek. Your eyes snap down and find a knife lying flat against your face. Your heart trips over in itself.
Confused panic now clashes with something dangerously dark you dare not name. It only worsens when a gloved thumb strokes your throat soft, reverently, and a heat licks up your body.
“Get to hidin’ doll… run.” Ghost face whispers.
Then he violently rips himself away from your body and like being unleashed from a cage you bolt.
You don’t even turn around to look at the masked man. Instead you dash further into the apartment.
Your first thought is to crawl under one of the beds. But your heart pounds so fast that any true proper thoughts get scrambled.
All you can think of is the closet, the large walk-in closet you share with Satoru.
Rapidly you rush inside it. You wonder if you should hide standing up along your boyfriend's large amount of tall clothes that could possibly hide you.
Until you spot it - a wonderful carved out space you can crouch in.
Once you wiggle your way in you try settling into the space. Breathing slowly in and out you try to gather yourself together. The length of Satoru’s clothes you hope will work as a cover or even a makeshift barrier to hide you.
Safe within the smell of the cologne lingering on your boyfriend’s clothes, you close your eyes to settle yourself down even more.
You sit in the silence. Tension crawls on your skin.
Time begins feeling sticky and the minutes seem to all glue together. You don’t know how long you’ve been in here or how long you will be.
Then heavy boots slowly march into the bedroom.
Your eyes snap open. The footsteps are leisurely, imposing. Your heart jolts hearing every step.
A slow dread that has been spilling into you like an hourglass now shatters as the footsteps draw closer to the door. Out of panic you can’t help but move your hands over your nose and mouth to keep quiet.
The door creaks open and your heart stops.
Your body tenses up at the sight of the black thick boats stomping into the closet.
Then the light of the closet flickers on illuminating the space.
“You in here, pretty?” the masked man calls out.
The air in the room evaporates as you stay as quiet as you can.
From the way his boots shuffle he seems to be glancing among the hanging clothes trying to find you in the space you thought of hiding in earlier.
A sigh comes from your masked intruder, soft and defeated almost.
He starts walking out of the closet. You rationalize that he must already be bored of trying to find you here. A small dosage of relief fills your body. Your eyes even shut close again as you exhale.
You take a moment to gather yourself in your sheltered space.
Simply breathing in and out, your hands stay against your face to keep you quiet.
Wearily you open your eyes.
Ghost face now kneels before you and peeks at you through the dangling clothes.
You’re thankful your hands still clutch over your face because you let out a small squeak of a scream.
His gloved waves at you gently and teasingly.
Before you can move, before you can even stand up, firm hands dart out. Ghost face grabs your ankle and drags you out of your little hidden cave.
Your body slides out with such ease, without any hesitation. You can’t even process how fast it happens. All you can do is stare up at the looming man above you staring down with the hollowed out soulless eyes.
His entire frame, large and imposing, blocks most of the light from the closet. It bathes him in a hauntingly eerie superposition of a black stain against a sun.
“Hi there doll,” He coo’s. “Knew you couldn’t escape from me.”
His gloved hand reaches out and holds your face firm.
The knife’s sharp edge drags up your body, a slow and casual pace. Your heart crawls into your throat as you lie beneath the power of this haunting force.
It’s simply you and him.
And then the ghost face mask man suddenly giggles.
It’s a playful giggle you know so well that not even the voice distortion can hide it.
It’s the one you hear whenever you trip over your own shoes, or when your boyfriend happily steals your fries…
“Satoru.” You breathe out steadier than you expected. A range of emotions tingles all over your body.
“No.” The voice replies but there's a twinkle in the tone now. “It’s me…scary ghost face man!”
“Satoru.” You repeat firmer.
“Who’s that? Is that your boyfriend? He sounds hot.”
You roll your eyes and are about to sit up when ghost face instead sits back releasing his firm grip on you.
The hand previously on your face moves to the mask and lifts it up.
Even before the rest of his face is revealed you spy the widest toothy smile ever. The mask completely slides up and now shining blue skies stare at you.
The eyeliner he put on earlier for his vampire costume is now a smudged mess from the heat of the mask. It paints him in a grunge like appearance that unfortunately for you looks devilishly hot on him
Still, you can’t help but pout at him.
“You should’ve set a timer. I don’t think you waited a full five minutes to let me hide.” You challenge as you start taking off his gloves.
“Yes I did! I even went and took a few selfies on your phone to let the time run!” Satoru challenges back pouting.
Of course he took pictures.
You can’t help but snort. However as you slide off the thick black gloves, your eyes gloss over a bit. The high, the adrenaline, the fantasy, is fizzling away.
Before you can even say anything, Gojo cries a dramatic sob. He flops down to lie completely on top of you.
“Satoru!” You wheeze as he clutches onto you like a childish koala.
Dramatically loud, Satoru wails your name. He rubs his sweaty face against yours. Yet, his bare hands hold you so delicate.
“Are you okay?” Your boyfriend gently asks genuine, low and cautious as if someone else can hear him.
You nod on an exhale. Your body strangely enough feels comforted with the weight of your protector against you.
Your face turns to burrow against his. The scent of his skin, the soft warmth he constantly radiates, all become a lifeline guiding you back.
The sensation running through your body reminds you of walking out of a haunted house attraction or even finishing an intense scary film. Those types of experiences become a way of facing terror as something fleeting, giving you a moment of fear without truly being in actual danger. It’s why you had even jokingly suggested this play in the first place.
Satoru and you had been costume shopping when he first tried to jump out and scare you. Instead he wore a ridiculous deformed bunny mask.
You simply stared at him bored and told him how ridiculous he looked.
“Aw! Where's your Halloween spirit babe?!” He cried.
You shrugged then went back to glancing at the adorable witch costumes.
“Maybe if it was another mask I saw you chasing me in I’d get scared.”
“Oh yeah?” His voice dipped in an intrigued low purr. “You want me to chase you around?”
“Satoru!” You had hissed in embarrassment and even swatted at him.
Gojo leaned down closer making sure nobody heard him as he whispered to you.
“It’s okay, angel. I kinda wanna chase you around too.”
The true serious conversation that occurred at home after that shopping trip led to this exact moment and you still can’t believe it.
Earlier in the week Satoru had coyly suggested wearing the ghost face costume instead of his vampire one. You had playfully shrugged and didn’t think he was serious.
But of course, you shouldn’t be surprised at anything your boyfriend does any more.
“I still can’t believe you managed to change at the party without me even knowing.” You comment.
“Oh that was easy! I just used Shoko’s private bathroom. I even told her to play along if you came looking for me. She also called us sexy freaks.” Gojo happily chirps, a bit proud, and your face heats up so fast you want to claw it off.
You could never look at Shoko again for the rest of your life, but you would manage.
Satoru shifts now to slide you better into his arms as he maneuvers to rest on the floor beside you.
You and him clutch each other warm and tight.
“As fun and hot as this was…I don’t like seeing you look genuinely scared.” He mutters softly against your forehead.
“You had been doing so good and looked so brave. I felt proud. But when I got you in here, you really did look so spooked.” Gojo continues. His voice trails into a soft tone you’ve learned is reserved only for you.
You had been scared, got caught up in the atmosphere.
“You just did your job a little too well.” You joke with a dry chuckle.
“Obviously.” Gojo scoffs. “Did you expect anything less?”
He really is a terror in his own way and you playfully pinch his side.
“You’re lucky you didn’t get too scary. If you did, I would've had to call my strong sorcerer boyfriend to beat you up.” You tease.
“Oh? Your strong sorcerer boyfriend? Are you sure he isn’t the strongest?” Gojo muses bright.
“Not really.” You grin.
He scoffs.
“You might as well have just taken the knife and stabbed me with it because your words have injured me!”
“Heal yourself then mister strongest sorcerer .” You deadpan.
Playfully Gojo lightly bites your cheek.
“But are you okay… Really?” His tone holds a tenderness and undertone of worry.
“I am, I promise.” You squeeze him firm and tight, even begin rubbing your hand against his shoulder.
“Are you feeling okay?” You ask firmer now.
Gojo nods, snuggling his face closer to you.
There on the floor, you and Satoru decompress. You find it comforting. After such a high adrenaline play, simply resting with him on the floor feels as if you are easing back into your skin. It’s the solidity of reality settling.
“Wait, how did you manage to change your voice?” You perk up curious.
Satoru happily whips out a simple handheld voice changer.
“I wanted to go all out.” He proudly explains with a beaming grin.
“Please tell me you didn’t use a real knife, did you?”
“Of course not!” Gojo shrieks insulted. “I bought a real fancy prop one online when I ordered my fangs!”
For some reason the thought of him spending money on an expensive movie like type prop makes you almost squawk in horror.
Satoru even playfully stabs your side with the fake knife. The poke comes hard but does nothing and you swat at him annoyed now. He snickers gleefully, a devilish gremlin.
His large calloused hand slides up your face. It kicks you out of your thoughts and your attention flickers back to Satoru.
Your boyfriend stares down at you with an interesting gleam in his eyes. His oceanic eyes are like that of a hunter gazing at its prey with a collected composure trying not to jump and consume.
On top of his cloud hair the ghost face mask still sits.
Satoru Gojo leans above you a beautiful terror of a sight. The gleam from the closet’s light illuminates a faint halo-like glow around him. It also electrifies his bright blue eyes. The black kohl liner now even makes them stand out even more.
The dormant arousal that had simmered earlier now reawakens raw in your body as warmth trickles across your skin. Your eyes even haze over as they stare at his soft lips.
Before you can even say anything, Satoru sweeps down fast and low. A creature striking fast, he captures your lips with his.
His tongue without hesitation licks into your mouth with a devastating dizziness. You clutch onto him tight and desperate. He’s kissing you like you will fade away at any moment, or like he’s enjoying his reward.
His lips chase after yours so messily, sloppily and without any finesse. Teeth click and even spit seems to slip more and more around your mouth.
Suddenly he starts licking at the spit that’s coated your lips and corner of your cheek. He seems possessed as he simply licks at you without any care. Gojo slides his tongue down to your jaw and tastes the salt of your skin.
He nips and bites softly at every inch of you he can reach. You’re reminded of a beast trying to consume with a feral want. A prickling heat now scourches across your body.
Caught up in that same frenzy Satoru kisses down your body over your clothes until he reaches your shorts.
Wearily you open your eyes to glance down at him.
Between your legs is a sight that melts your brain. With his holy angelic eyes, electrified and blown out, along with the terrifying ghost face mask on his cloud head, Satoru is a blissful frightening sight.
He breathes out your name, a ghostly whisper.
Cerulean eyes are now bottomless oceans as he kisses your core over your shorts repeatedly. You whine breathless and desperate, wanting him closer. Glancing down, you see Satoru once more stares up at you with a devouring hunger that has your eyes closing overwhelmed.
He fucks you there in the closet. The taste of it is wild, a frantic claim.
You and him end up entangled with each other, sticky and exhausted still on the floor. The clothes hanging above create a soft canopy.
Satoru’s fingers run up your arm tender while you rest in his arms.
“Who knew the ghost face mask was gonna do that for us huh? Guess Shoko was right. This really means we’re really a pair of certified hot freaks now.”
You screech a horrified sound and want to pummel your annoying boyfriend.
“What!? This is hot as hell baby!” Gojo argues back proudly, almost smug, and it only makes you angrily wiggle away from him.
Of course he keeps you firmly captured in his strong hold and doesn’t budge an inch.
“What if we try this again but with another mask?” Satoru asks dreamily.
“You’re already a clown, you don’t need another mask.” You reply.
“BABY!?” He sobs out absolutely horrified and dramatically hurt. You laugh and curl tight against this stronghold of a man.
“You wound me! I absolutely for sure have internal bleeding right now!” He continues sobbing while he burrows his face against the top of your head.
Being on the floor for so long starts aching so you slowly sit up. Gentle warm hands begin rubbing your back while you stretch. Glancing around at all the discarded clothing littering the floor, you spot the ghost face mask. In the heat of the moment your fingers had carded through Satoru’s soft hair and the mask slipped off.
It so innocently yet hauntingly stares out with those vacant hollow void eyes. A strange urge crawls up your neck and sinks its fangs into you. Grabbing it you turn back to Satoru who stares up at you with a dreamy softness.
“Oh?” He catches the sight of the mask and sits up. His curiosity sparks awake playful and fast. “What do you have in mind?”
You softly shush him and gently slide the mask over him.
With it completely covering his face, knowing fully it’s him and not having to pretend, does break the illusion.
However, it cracks open something new that is dangerously raw and hungry.
Your thumb strokes the side of his face where the soft latex of the mask covers his cheek.
Leaning forward you kiss him over the mask. You taste the annoying synthetic fabric of the mask. Yet a wild heat comes when you feel his lips through the fabric. Satoru’s hands slowly run up to your shoulders to hold you as you kiss him through the fabric.
It ignites a delirious frustration that feels so good. His mouth desperately tries to feel you against the fabric that quickly starts to get wet.
Another raw idea flashes in your mind. Softly you pull away from his lips. You think of Gojo and how his tongue claimed you in a flurry.
So with a soft tentative kitten like attempt, you lick at his lips through the mask.
Something wild unleashes itself in Satoru. He rapidly sweeps you into his arms with his godly strength and simply lifts you up from the floor. His lips moan against yours.
“Keeping this on.” Gojo slurs as he rapidly moves you and him towards the bed.
You shake your head rapidly agreeing. The plush bed hits your back.
Above you, once again the ink stain presence of ghost face stares down at you. Your fingers do ache to run into his hair, across his delicious undercut. But those simple aches are crushed against the clear sight of your Satoru as ghost face. You vividly see Satoru’s broad shoulders, feel the touch of his bare hands caressing your thighs so intently.
“I caught you fair and square, my sweet little treat.” Now it’s his voice, unmodulated and clear as crystal, cooing triumphant underneath the mask.
“Now… I think I wanna unwrap you again.” Gojo whispers and it slices under your skin deliciously.
Beautiful debauched arousal rapidly consumes you as you claw at him wanting him closer.
“You like knowing it’s me under here, baby?” Satoru continues. His fingers begin kneading into your soft thighs, anchoring himself to your body.
His long fingers softly swipe into the slick arousal pooling between your legs and a whimper flutters out of you.
“Me too.” Gojo whispers, almost admitting with a quiet glee.
“I like knowing I'm under here getting to chase you, knowing I’ll always catch you and have you all to myself.”
Pulling his fingers out, they shine coated in your wetness. He slips them under the mask. Suddenly the sound of him sucking fills the room and your mind melts even more.
Satoru groans, drunk on pleasure. Even with the mask hiding his face it somehow heightens the moment and you claw at his arm firmer.
Taking the hint, Gojo slides fully between your legs to draw closer to you. He now takes the fingers in his mouth to slide them into yours.
Your eyes close and roll back. You suck on his wet fingers covered in his spit and the faint linger of your arousal. He begins grinding against you and you moan needed more of him all over again.
It's delicious and dark, this beautiful cobweb of desire you and Satoru are caught in.
“That’s it, angel. Let’s keep enjoying our fun little fright night, yeah?” Your ghost face lover purrs and as you sink into lust’s heavenly darkness, you find you couldn’t agree more.

freminet headcanons + extra drabbles!
romance, personality, and tidbits!
Tumblr media
- deep down, he always wanted to become a diving instructor. how could he keep the oceanic scenery and adventure to himself? but he believes his introverted behavior holds him back :*(
- when he becomes close to you, he will become a whole snuggle bug, and will ask to cuddle whenever you guys are alone together~!
- his room is super well decorated. a bunch of adorable stuffed animals on his bed, stunning photographs and posters on his wall, and why, penguin decor of course! he also has a plentiful amount of seashells and souvenirs from his explorations.
- freminet's love for cuddling applies to hugs as well. I already know he gives the best hugs there is! he holds you tight, and whenever you're sad and in need of comfort, he quietly listens and delicately rubs your back.
𓆡 🪼 𓇼 𓆝
you began to cry harder than you already were upon receiving freminet's touch.
"shh, shh.. I'm here, love. I'm here. i will stay here with you for however long you need." he promised you in a calming voice.
🌊𓆉🐚
- he gets startled quite easily. freminet is definitely not a fan when he is suddenly crept up on! lyney often surprises him in this way, being the magician he is.
- freminet has a habit of biting his nails. he even moves onto the skin.. poor thing. because of this, he lets you paint his nails at times to steer him away from the biting, and he tries his best as to not ruin the polish.
- he is very mechanically inclined. he will even make a toy just like pers for you, any animal you desire! he absolutely adores your reaction to his creations! it inspires him to keep on creating them. :)
- he absolutely LOVES sleepovers! the fun of doing skincare routines and face masks together, the glow in your eyes as he listens in on the stories you tell, and if you fall asleep first, he hums a gentle lullaby, only ever loud enough to be a whisper~
- freminet can get overwhelmed from crowds and excessive questions, and so he relies on you in certain social situations. he is also more of a sensitive person, and avoids unnecessary conflict. if you catch anyone saying something about freminet, even one negative aspect, you are on the front lines to defend him!
- his eyelashes are very long. and I mean, long. you always compliment him on how pretty they are, and when you first met him, you accidentally glanced at them for too long.. oops!
- this boy is super duper ticklish. if you even slightly brush your hand against his ticklish spots, he bursts out in laughter. you love seeing him so giggly, so you do it whenever possible! >:D
𓆡 🪼 𓇼 𓆝
"AHAHA!! stop, stop!" he'd roll around on the ground, making helpless attempts to run away.
"never~! your laugh is music to my ears!" you genuinely appreciated this rare break from his day to day personality.
"I- y/n- HAHAH!" freminet loved being with you, so perhaps he could allow it just this once.. goodness, how could you get him into this situation~? (≧∇≦)
🌊𓆉🐚
- he has never been caught swearing. ever. nor has he ever shown a great amount of anger towards anyone. oh no, he wouldn't dare. freminet prefers to get all of his emotions out underwater, where he cannot be heard..
- freminet is a great cook. like sir, everything you create is delicious! and of course, his favourite dishes to whip up would be some variety of seafood.
𓆡 🪼 𓇼 𓆝
"y/n, which sauce do you think tastes better? or if you don't like them, please tell me.." he'd present to you a tiny spoonful of each, shyly inching forward.
after you take a sample of both of them, you gleefully express your opinion.
"I love them both! it would be delicious no matter what you make." you assure him.
🌊𓆉🐚
- he is very closed off. this goes back to how he feels about diving with others. he doesn't want to do a bad job, and is filled with the overwhelming fear of doing so. when you finally dive with him for the first time, he is like a completely different person. he effortlessly guides you through the depths of the sea, taking great attention to your status, your favorite sights and sea creatures, and freminet constantly checks up on you to make sure that you're comfortable.
𓆡 🪼 𓇼 𓆝
"freminet.. you're fantastic at this! you would be an amazing guide for new divers. I loved experiencing this opportunity with you." you mention, whilst a huge smile is plastered on your face.
"a-ah, no no y/n, you flatter me. I'm much more useful as a surveyer.. there are plenty more skilled individuals out there. im really not much.." he'd sadly reply, his expression seeming awfully distant.
"i see. you may think that, freminet, but in my eyes.. you're very talented. I think you have more to offer than you may believe, so don't be so hard on yourself." you'd reply, your gaze softening.
freminet paused for a moment upon hearing your kind words. his lips formed a subtle crescent upward, and his cheeks were dusted in a deep blush.
"thank you, y/n. you have no idea how much your words truly mean to me."

Sonamy Headcanons because I’m deprived and extremely delulu 🙃
🩷 Sonic has like- telepathic senses that tell him whenever Amy is in potential danger
“My Amy Senses are tingling..” 🤣
if you’ve watched Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse, you’ll get it lololol
💙 Sonamy road trips roles
Amy: driver, trip organiser, checklists checklist checklists, “DONT EAT THOSE THEY’RE FOR THE TRIP!!”, carpool karaoke *whips out her inner Ariana Grande*, “eughhh Sonic did you fart?!”
Sonic: passenger princess, DJ, snacc provider (and eater), sleeping beauty, “couldn’t we just use my speed to get there?”, argues with the GPS because he knows a faster route (one not requiring the road)
🩷 Sonic and Amy playing table tennis:
Amy: sonic, serve
Sonic: *💁‍♂️🕺*
Amy: no- serve the BALL xD
💙 Person: “are you two dating?”
Sonic and Amy: *while holding hands* “no”
🩷 Though he doesn’t admit it, Sonic also loves his quills massaged. Sometimes when Sonic and Amy are chilling under a tree together, and he ends up dozing off, Amy will rest his head on her lap and stroke her hand through his quills, resulting in a few faint purrs from the hedgehog, which she secretly gushes over about
💙 They could be arguing for 5 minutes straight and after be like:
“I LOVE YOUUUU!!” >:O
“I LOVE YOU TOOOOOO!!!!” >:O
🩷 Amy finds shopping twice as fun with Sonic because he will just sit her in the shopping cart, as they zip up and down the aisles whilst grabbing the items on the list…getting it all done in 2 minutes tops. They call it the Operation: S^2 (Speed Shopping)
💙 Sonic and Amy could already be years into marriage but will still do or say things that’ll make the other flustered, like the times when they were dating.
🩷 Amy knows that if Sonic is being really flirty with her, he usually wants something.
💙 If Sonic and Amy are both sick one day, they will tell off each other, insisting they should be at home resting.
It results in both of them at Amy’s house, snuggled up on the couch binging movies.
🩷 As much as Amy likes sharing the goss with rouge and the girls, there’s nothing like sharing it with her bf because he goes all “omg gurl no wayyy! 💅” or he starts spilling his own tea with her lmao “omg bestie you won’t believe who I saw the other day…”
💙 Sonic plans secret meet ups with Cream, who teaches him how to make her signature flower crowns…he hopes to master it so he can make Amy one, one day…
🩷 (this following hc was an idea from a comic I believe..don’t know who made it but if u do pls let me know for credit purposes ig kajsjwidj)
Amy knows how Sonic can sometimes struggle to speak his feelings and is often an action over words type of guy. So she came up with this thing that anytime Sonic wants to tell Amy he loves her, without verbally saying it, all he needs to do is squeeze her hand 3 times; I. Love. you.
💙 When Amy told Sonic she wanted to go dancing with him, she didn’t expect it to be just dance…anyways she had tons of fun!
🩷 If they have sleepovers, it’s a tradition that they wear matching onesies (guys comment what they should be hehe)
💙 Amy uses Sonic as the makeup tester. He ends up looking ready for the circus afterwards but he honestly doesn’t mind this because he gets tons of kissies when she’s trying out the lipsticks
🩷 Walks along the beach are nice and romantic until Sonic decides to be a lil shh and kick sand in Amy’s shoes *cue her dragging her naughty bf towards the ocean*
💙 Amy’s a sucker for old school romance; love letters, flowers, fancy dates…and Sonic knows this. (Well EVERYONE does actually…) So one day, despite how inexperienced he is in the whole romance department, sets aside time to work on writing a letter, buying flowers and arranging somewhere nice to take Amy out for her to fulfil her romance fantasies. She’ll even get to dress up for this occasion
🩷 Sonic helping out Amy in the kitchen be like:
“A-Amy…I burnt the water…”
“Sonic how TF did you BURN the water?!”
“I DONT KNO-”
💙 Amy is having a downer and is very clingy…so here is Sonic running his gf’s errands, with his gf clinging onto him. People will see this unusual phenomenon and he just gives them all the stare…nothing to see here! I mean it ain’t the first time he’s had to cart a pink hedgehog round the place
🩷 For the longest time, Amy has had a box sitting aside in her closet, containing a new special swim shirt, arm floaties, and a swimming kickboard, for when Sonic decides to finally learn how to swim. She can’t see the day any of the contents will be used but she could only hope.
💙 Sonic keeps an umbrella on standby for future “need to share an umbrella” emergencies
🩷 In the winter, they’re practically inseparable, using each other desperately to warm up. Because of this Tails had to design them jackets with instant heating, but they still end up back together even though they aren’t freezing anymore

Honey Sweet Words
Tumblr media
One of the many reasons why I love playing a 'good' character while romancing Astarion is you can see how he tries to manipulate the character. It smooth, a smirk here, sway and purr there; but my fav is how he tries to use your words and just adjust them to his idea.
He has so many layers I love him lol
Rated: M
Warnings: manipulation, blood tears, shared vision into each others' trauma
Taglist: @aurasyn
Tumblr media
It took you aback, the confusion and uncertainty, his words quick to draw you to his logic. You stood there completely at a loss for words. Is he… Is he manipulating you? "Like a spoonful of honey," You mumbled, "Sweet but thick enough to choke me." Pretty words and Astarion makes a face.
"So much for ambition."
"I won't become my master," Looking at him with a stance of bravery, you weren't going to back out of this. "He wants to control people, to strip them of everything to the marrow. I won't be like him— We don't have to be like them."
"See what I mean? You are too naive, darling." As he fronts concern, your head turns away, "Don't be like that."
"I won't do it. It's wrong."
You do not like having these sorts of talks with Astarion, the battle of morals where Astarion is easily gaining the upper hand. His words cut deep, poking holes into your choice to show you his point of view: control.
Domination.
Astarion groans as your mind unintentionally opens to him, the high amount of emotion from both of them calling out to each other.
You, the fear… The way you were not in control of your actions. A doll, a vampiric doll, for your master's amusement. You were his angel of music perfectly preserved and performing only for him.
Him, the anger… To be forced upon his back over and over for his master. Used and abused, his screams of pain and hatred were so sweet to his master's ears.
Two creatures who know the darkness, who drink crimson, both of whose nature is the very essence of domination and debauchery. A beast that will never be satisfied.
The connection is cut, and you try to stop the red tears that soon spill. Astarion's hands take yours, drawing you close to him. You whimper, the fear of submission to his reasoning… Maybe…
"Will you be satisfied if you controlled it all?" Astarion hears your worry, "What happens if one day I no longer want to be by your side? Will you force me to stay?" Fear that you will always be a captive to a lover who only wants power.
"I am not him." Astarion tries to assure you, lure you with his sweet voice. "But I know you won't leave my side. We balance each other." Do you? 
"The power to control people," You shake your head, "We would be just like the monsters who created us."
"I am nothing like Cazador!" He growls in defense, "We are better than them. We can make the realm better– A peaceful world where no one will suffer the way we have." His words are smooth and quick to pull at your naive kind nature.
"By force."
"Anything you want in this realm, anything of worth, is often gained by force, darling."
You shake your head, that isn't right. He kisses those bloody tears away, kisses you, pulls you close then wraps his arms around you while your hands rest on his chest. His lips find yours but move to your neck when you do not return his kiss.
"Astarion."
"(Name)," Saying your name like the lyric to a song he only wants you to hear, a siren song you fall often prey to. "Shh." He hurt you by planting doubt in your mind, yet, it had to be done. It would be a waste of power and he sees this tadpole as the advantage you both need against your master— Sires as you told him.
Never again, never again, never again will he grovel or be forced to submit to Cazador— To anyone.
You should feel the same way. You should.

happy birthday, reese <3
For @r33sespieces :) 
---
“Shh, no, you have to be quiet.” 
Sirius pauses outside Harry’s room, cocking his head. Harry’s been holed up in there since shortly after dinner, but Sirius hadn’t thought too much of it. It’s been pissing down all afternoon, and Sirius figured both of them could use a lazy day. For his part, he took a luxurious nap earlier, and the newest book in a romance series he’s been following arrived by owl post this morning. He’s looking forward to curling up with it in front of the fire. If he’s lucky, maybe Harry will come downstairs with his chess set later and ask to play a game together.
There’s a whine from behind the closed door, and then a soft yip. Sirius blinks.
“Hazza,” he says, rapping his knuckles softly on the door, and he hears Harry curse. “Everything alright?”
“Fine!” Harry says quickly. “I’m just--”
He’s interrupted by a loud bark, and Sirius’s eyebrows fly up to his hairline.
“Can I come in?” he asks, and he hears Harry sigh.
“Yeah.” 
Harry’s standing over by the bed, dripping wet and clutching a soaked brown-and-white puppy against his chest. 
“Well, hello,” Sirius says as he steps into the room. “Who’s this?”
“Dunno,” Harry says, cuddling the puppy close and shrinking away when Sirius takes a step forward. Sirius freezes. “Found him out in the garden.” 
“Poor thing,” Sirius says. It’s been miserable outside for two days now. “Can I take a look at him?”
“Why?” Harry asks, instantly suspicious. 
“I just want to make sure he’s okay, that he doesn’t have any injuries or anything like that.” Sirius starts to pull out his wand, but Harry backs away, so he quickly pockets it. “Can we sit down?”
They sit on the circular rug in the middle of Harry’s bedroom, and Harry gently places the puppy in front of him. The puppy shivers, and then takes a few uncertain steps. He’s wobbly, but that seems to be due to how young he is, not any injuries. Sirius puts out his hand, and the puppy sniffs him. His tail wags.
“Aren’t you mad?” Harry asks softly, not meeting Sirius’s eyes.
“I’m not thrilled you snuck a puppy in here without talking to me first,” Sirius says. “But no, Harry, I’m not mad. If you’d told me you’d found him in the garden, I would’ve had you bring him inside, too. We can keep him warm and dry for a night, and then tomorrow we’ll take him to a shelter. Speaking of, can I dry him off? He’s shivering. You as well, kiddo.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Harry nods, and Sirius pulls out his wand. He performs a quick drying spell, and then a cleaning charm, and then casts a heating spell over both Harry and the puppy.
“I bet he’s hungry,” Sirius says. “Why don’t you bring him down to the kitchen, and we can feed him?”
Harry hesitates again, then gathers the puppy in his arms and goes down to the kitchen, Sirius following them. He doesn’t know what exactly is causing Harry’s reluctance, but he has a suspicion. 
He cuts up some leftover chicken for Harry to feed the puppy, and then goes into Remus’s office to gather up the rope toys Moony likes to use, as well as the crate he sometimes curls up in to nap off the Wolfsbane during full moons. Harry eyes the crate warily when Sirius comes back into the kitchen.
“So he’ll have somewhere warm and safe to sleep tonight,” Sirius says. “I doubt he’s house-trained, and sorry mate, but I don’t fancy him pissing all over the house all night.” 
Harry reluctantly nods. “Yeah, okay.” 
The puppy eats and drinks his fill, and then Harry entices him to play with one of the rope toys. Sirius can’t help the smile that touches his lips as he watches them, the puppy having the time of his life and Harry giggling--giggling!--while they play.
The puppy eventually tires himself out and falls asleep curled up in Harry’s lap. 
“There was a dog in the Dursleys’ garden once.” Harry’s not looking at him. He strokes one of the puppy’s ears with a gentle finger. “She was a stray. I brought her scraps from the table whenever Aunt Petunia sent me outside to do chores.” 
Scraps that Harry had probably needed for himself, but he’d split them with a stray instead. His heart ached. “That was really kind of you, Hazza.”
“She was my first friend,” Harry says softly. “My only friend. She lived in the garden for most of the summer, until Dudley found out about her.” 
“Oh, Harry.”
“He and his friends chased her off. Hit her with sticks and threw rocks at her. I never saw her again.” 
“She probably found a home,” Sirius says. “She sounds friendly. I’m sure someone took her in.”
“Yeah,” Harry says. “I hope so.” 
Sirius hears the Floo roar, and then Remus calls out a hello.
“In here, Remus,” he says.
Remus comes into the kitchen, and his eyes widen. “Well, you two were certainly busy today.” 
“Harry found him in the garden,” Sirius says. “The weather’s shite. I don’t see a problem with letting him stay tonight, and then we’ll take him to a shelter tomorrow.”
“Sure, of course we will,” Remus says, sounding amused. 
The puppy wakes himself up with a yawn, and then eyes Remus curiously. He gets out of Harry’s lap and trots over to the other man, sniffing him curiously. Remus holds very still--animals tend to have very strong reactions to him. Either they adore him, or they’re terrified of him. 
The puppy is apparently in the former category, because his tail starts to wag and he lets out a series of happy yips. Remus crouches down to pet him. 
“You’re a handsome fellow, aren’t you,” he says. “Yes, you are. And much better behaved than Padfoot.”
“You hear how he talks to me, Harry?” 
Harry laughs, and Sirius wishes he could bottle the sound. It doesn’t happen enough.
Harry and the puppy are inseparable for the rest of the evening. Remus keeps throwing Sirius significant looks that he tries to ignore. They’re not getting a pet. Hedwig is enough. In the morning, they’ll take the puppy to the nearest shelter, and Sirius will personally make sure he goes to a good home. 
When it comes time for bed, Harry lines the crate with plenty of blankets and sets the puppy inside. He closes the door and locks it, and the puppy immediately begins to whimper.
Harry chews on his bottom lip. “You’re sure he’s going to be alright in there?” 
The puppy whines, and Harry looks distraught. Remus squeezes his shoulder.
“He’ll be fine. He’s got toys and water and soft blankets. He’ll probably make a mess, but that’s alright. That’s what magic is for. He’ll settle down as soon as we all leave him be.” 
***
The puppy cries for an hour after they all retire upstairs. 
Sirius stares at the ceiling. He’s not going to give in and check on the puppy. He’s not. 
“Don’t even think it, Sirius,” Remus murmurs from his side of the bed.
“I’m not,” Sirius says. “It’s just--do you think he’s cold?”
“We gave him blankets and cast a heating charm.” 
“Maybe he’s hurt.”
“You checked him over before bed. He’s perfectly fine.” Remus rolls over and rests his head on Sirius’s chest. “He’ll settle down eventually.”
Remus is right--the puppy does eventually quiet down. Remus’s breathing evens out soon after that, and Sirius quickly follows him into sleep.
Sirius wakes up before dawn, his new normal, and pads downstairs to make some tea. Harry will sleep for at least another couple of hours, and they won’t see Remus until almost noon. 
But when he comes into the kitchen, the first thing he notices is his godson curled up on the floor. The crate is open, and the puppy is nestled in Harry’s arms, also fast asleep. 
“Sirius?” Remus comes up behind him, knuckling his eyes. 
“What are you doing up?” Sirius whispers.
“Needed a piss, and the bed’s cold without you. What--” Remus finally catches sight of Harry and the puppy, and immediately softens. “Oh.” 
“That’s why the puppy stopped whining last night, I bet.” 
“Probably,” Remus says. He wraps his arms around Sirius’s waist and props his chin on Sirius’s shoulder, though he has to stretch to reach it. “You can’t make him go to a shelter.”
“No,” Sirius sighs. “I won’t. Looks like we’ve got a pet, Moons.” 
“Looks like it. Where are you going?”
“I’ve got to write to the Board of Governors,” Sirius says. “I have six weeks to persuade them to add dogs to the list of approved pets for Hogwarts students.”

Soap fucking you silly on the couch!!
Warnings; p in v, unprotected sex, breeding, implied baby trapping, Virgin!reader, fingering, non/dub con?, NOT proofread, barely any readers prep. MDNI
Summary; Getting caught up in CBF!soap’s trap. But you don’t mind right? You’d never leave him anyway and even if you tried he’d kidnap you and lock you away forever
Tumblr media
You smile as you rush to the door, you open it and cling to him. “How ya been Bonnie?” He smiled, hugging you tightly with his hands on your hips. “I’m alright! How is your deployment so far Johnny?” Pulling away and leading him deeper into your parent’s house. The smell of lasagna flowing throughout the large house. “It’s good. even better tha’ I’m here right? Where’s ya parents at?” He questioned, following you as you lead him into the living room.
“Just getting a few more things for dinner. I think dessert or something? But they have to go all the way into town so I don’t expect them to be back so soon..” you mutter, sitting next to him. “Wha’ should we watch bonnie?” He grabs the remote, turning on the tv. “Maybe… a romance movie?” You hum. And before you know it you’re falling asleep on his lap, snoring softly as he continues watching the movie. Occasionally snapping photos for his memory jerking off or other things. But when a sex scene flashes on the tv he can’t help but get a bit aroused, gripping your plush thighs a bit tighter.
Softly grinding his hips up into your cunt, listening to your sleepy and quiet moans. It only makes his cock throb harder through his pants when he realizes that your skirt is riding up and revealing the wet spot on your panties. “F-Fuck lass.. need ya pret’y lil’ cunt..” he grunts, leaning into you and causing you to stir. He almost cums right then and there when he see’s the flash of confusion and fear in your eyes when you wake up. “J-Johnny?! W-What are you-“ you panic, but he interrupts you by covering your mouth and fucking up into you even faster. Flipping you onto your back and practically ripping your panties off, rubbing your sopping clit pussy with his thumb.
“Shh lass, ya’ gonna like it.. ya’ wanna make me happy ri’?” He unzips his pants, releasing his fat cock. “J-Johnny that’s t’big!” You squirm as he presses his fingers into your hole. “I know lass, I know..” He kisses the crook of your neck, feeling the rumble of your throat as you whine. His fingers gently sliding in. “Ya’ so tight lass..” He chuckles, stretching you out with his thick fingers. “Maybe I should’ve got ya drunken up before hm.?” He starts to kiss your neck, your whines echoing through the room as he fingers you pretty pussy a bit faster. Curling his fingers inside to reach your G-spot. “J-Johnny!~” You moan, your hips stuttering. If it was up to soap he’d drag you back to base with him and use you as his personal flesh light. Not that he doesn’t already have a sex doll that looks exactly like you at his house (he can’t bring it on base) wasn’t there an open spot for a new filer needed on base? “Tha’s it lass.~ cum f’me my pretty gal.” He kisses your plush lips, sliding his tongue in.
As soon as you cummed on his fingers he pulled them out and replaced them with the tip of his reddened cock. “C’mon lass, relax so I can fit my cock in ya” he smiled, one hand on your hip with the other hooked under your knee. Slipping his fat cock into your tight cunt and drawing loud moans from you. “C’mon lass, that’s it, biiiig stretch dove.” His words don’t help, causing you to clamp down on him. “T-T’big! I-I’m gonna rip!” You whine, tearing up from both pain and need. Gasping as he slammed into you, shrieking. “Can’t love. I need ya understood?” He lets out a breathy moan, repeatedly pulling out until its just the tip and slamming right back into your cervix. He was huge and not giving you time to adjust, just slamming into your gummy walls with no regard.
When he fills you up to the brim with his cum, even after begging for him to pull out, he babbles on and on. “Gonna make ya’ a momma lass..” he moans into your ear, hips stuttering and sweat layering on his and your skin.

they'd show their affection and love for each other so obviously that their friends and the clan already want them to get together and mate.
everyone's seen both na'vi have a playful fight in the waters, go on adventures in the forest, sana laughing at jake's stupid jokes, hold hands for a few seconds, and so on and so forth.
their interactions have become more frequent when they disappear into the forest and come back at a late time... differently.
jake would be out of breath and he would be stuttering in his walk with his tail tucked in between his legs. his ears twitching with tear stained eyes and sort of puffy lips. his human friends would ask him what was the matter or if he was injured but he brushed it off with a flustered look on his face.
sana... her scent was different when the other na'vi males took a whiff when she passed by them to go to her hut. the na'vi men were enamoured and curious of the once dream walker, wanting to get to know her more of her past and her unusual features to get a chance to touch her.
but now.... she smelled like jake all over her. all the na'vi men were devastated and heartbroken at not having the chance of properly courting the young woman. they've shared their disappointment with each other during dinner time which came to their conclusion that she has mated with her friend.
it got around the na'vi and humans that it became true just by seeing them holding hands and sana leaning her head against his arm.
that's all they saw
behind their disappearance into the forest was something else.
something different only they know when they fly to their favorite spot for privacy. to enjoy themselves.
"fuck.....sana.....i don't think i can go on longer...." jake lets out with a moan, arching his back when he thrusts up against her pussy and his eyes rolled to the back of his head.
sana sat on his lap with her hips moving in a circular motion while she tugged the end of his tail a little causing him to whimper, "shh daddy, you always love it when i clench on you when I ride you, don't you?" she smiles with a lustful look.
jake whimpers each pressure she tightens around him that he wants to come so badly, "fuck....mommy....! so good....can't get enough..!" he grunts grabbing a hold of her hips to push himself deeper into her so he can reach the tip of his cock into her cervix.
her five fingers trail from his chest down to his stomach that had developed a great pair of abs when he trained flas a hunter, "i'm mommy now? i didn't know you were so vocal about calling me that.." she chuckles, moving her hips faster with her clit rubbing against his pelvis and her wet slick smeared all over.
by looking at this sight in front of him would have made him cum but the times both of them have mated so many times that he was able to last longer than usual from the first time.
jake couldn't handle the teasing he was receiving so he switched each other, her below him with a menacing look and eyes glaring in lust, "i've handled you teasing and i'm taking charge." he towers over her body laying on the soft flora and grabs the end of her tail for revenge.
he started thrusting into her deeper than before with his tail wagging and his ears back. sana gasp at his sudden dominance putting her legs around his waist, "daddy....oh shit.....right there!"
"right here!" he says in a low growl when he arched her waist up to hit her sensitive spot. she screams in pleasure.
"you like it...you know how i feel now after all this time you've been teasing me and calling me daddy as you were dominating me. come on, mommy.....that's all you got?"
he snarls and pants heavily, resting his head on her breasts and licks in between them while looking into her eyes with a wild expression.
sana felt the overwhelming pleasure of his cock hitting her pussy so well and his pelvis slapping against her clit when he rocks them faster and harder. their moans, their screams, their pants, and their bodies rubbing each other bloomed a bond with trust and love with each other, they were comfortable in dominating each other no matter the situation.
sana reaches for his queue hanging over his shoulder to connect with hers and a unique kind of feelings overflowed in their mind, souls, and hearts.
he couldn't stop thrusting his hips in hers with a tight grip around her waist and her hands in his long hair and grips his braid slightly.
it was an endless cycle of dominance and teasing each other as they call each other 'daddy' and 'mommy'.
sana squeezes around him a couple more times, holding his face to make him look directly at her, "cum. cum with me, daddy. cum for mommy." she whispers rubbing her face against his, feeling his love and submission for him.
jake whimpers retiring her gesture as he thrusts faster with the squelching sounds were heard when his cock finally reached its point of spurting cum into her pussy, "yes, mommy. cum with daddy too."
they release with a long moan leaving their throats and their eyes rolling back and hips attached to each other.
at last, both release and tangled themselves in each other's scent and bodies while staying with the bond attached. sana cuddles close to him under the stars and moons of the night sky while playing with his fingers, "never knew you had it in you to call me mommy, daddy." she smirks at him poking fun at his sudden change of heart.
jake leans down to kiss her on the lips tenderly and slightly bites on her lower lip, "don't tease me anymore or it might happen again that i pin you down."
she took it as a challenge caressing his soft twitching cock, "i want to see you do it."
they chuckled at their conversation when they got comfortable on the soft flora on a floating mountain that has become their usual spot. their bond was strong and pure from being friends to mates that nothing could compare to what they feel for each other whether it be pure love as a couple or a sexual relationship when no one's around.

Chapter Four - Delicious
As the celebration grows louder, you panic and pull down the flap of your tent, hiding away. You hear them all spilling into the camp, most voices already slurring their words as they pass you, none the wiser as to who is inside. You stay there, huddled up for some time, trying to stay quiet, hoping that no companion will blow your cover.
“Hey, have you seen Tav?”
Shit.
There’s a space of silence, you can only assume that whoever Karlach is talking to points at your tent, as she lifts up the flap moments later. “Hey soldier! You’re missing o-” She is interrupted by you grabbing her arm and dragging her in the tent with you, a desperate attempt to protect your anonymity. She tumbles to the side, the flap shutting behind her.
“Shh!” You emphasise with your finger to your lips. There’s a strange smell… You feel a tingle on your hands… The tingle turns into sizzling pain… Burning… “Ah! Hot! What the fuck?!” You cry, flailing your hands but they only burn hotter.
“Shit! Shit! Shit! I’m sorry!” You have no idea what she just did to you, but it hurts. A lot.
“Well, hello, what’s going on in here?” Before Astarion can make any further comment on the noises coming from your tent, he is forced out of the way by both you and Karlach, falling flat on his ass.
“Move!” You both yell simultaneously, darting to the lake. You waste no time, you shed no clothing, you jump in, with a frantic splash. Karlach watches, anxiously nibbling her nails, hoping that you’re okay. The water, thankfully, provides relief once you are fully submerged. 
There is a muffled commotion coming from the surface, you want to stay here, where the sound and the eyes can’t reach you. Any hope of sitting through this party undetected has just been destroyed. But you’re running out of air, the urge to breathe takes over and you force your head over the threshold of the lake.
Opening your eyes, you see Karlach waiting on the shore with a small gathering of tieflings and the rest of the party. Shadowheart swaying, clearly intoxicated and struggling to stand. “I brought Shadowheart!” She points at her triumphantly, beckoning you to leave the lake.
“Yyyyyep… That’s me.” She waves, lazily.
A drunk healer, what could go wrong?
You sigh and swim towards them. As you grow closer, the tieflings squint to get a better look at you, some faces darken in recognition, others blissfully unaware and in a similar shape to Shadowheart. As your body emerges from the water, Astarion finally catches up with the crowd, rubbing his behind.
“Gods, what happened?!” asks Gale upon seeing the reddened flesh, peeling from your hands.
“She… She touched me. She didn’t know.” Karlach responds, tears in her eyes.
“Okay, as much as I enjoy talking about it, I would really appreciate somebody fixing it now!” The words force themselves through gritted teeth as the pain creeps back in. Gale nods.
“Shadowheart.”
“Gaaaaale…?” Shadowheart flops her head to look at him.
“Cure. Wounds. Tav. Now.” He speaks as simply as possible for her to understand.
“Huh? Oh, yeah…” She mumbles and slurs through the incantation, unsteadily hovering her hands over yours. It’s not enough.
“It’s not working!” You cry, eyes watering. A strong, large hand comes into view, replacing Shadowheart’s. A deep grumble of words and a glow encases your palms. They quickly revert back to their original, uninjured state. You breathe as the pain fades once again.
In front of- or… above you? A tall, rugged wood elf stands, proudly. “Halsin! Thank you!” Karlach exclaims in relief.
“Y-yes, thank you, Halsin.” You pant, looking up at him as he smiles down at you.
“No need, tonight is a night of celebration, we can’t have any accidents ruin the fun. Besides, what’s an archdruid for if he can’t perform a simple healing spell?” He chuckles heartily.
So he’s one of the druids… The archdruid… Where in the hells was he when the fighting started?!
You inspect him, squinting, then you notice the many faces of the tieflings staring at you in your peripheral vision. Many are struggling between hatred and confusion. Gale takes your hands in his and inspects them, trailing his finger along them as he does. They’re warm compared to yours, though you suppose that’s because you just jumped in a freezing cold lake.
“Are you alright?” He asks with genuine fright and concern in his eyes. You nod then return your gaze to the tieflings. He does the same, recognising the tension. “She won’t harm you.” He announces, still holding your hands. “She may have been on the other side, but it wasn’t by choice. She is our friend. Please, treat her as such.” You doubt his words will have much effect, you know people. People are stubborn.
The tieflings exchange glances then, to your surprise, begin to nod in agreement. Their acceptance of you is… painful. It’s wrong. Their numbers dwindled by your hand, that familiar pang of guilt surges through you once again. The crowd begins to dissipate, returning to the party. Gale looks at you, realises his hands are still holding yours, he lets them go abruptly. “Um-I’m glad you’re feeling better.” Karlach now has tears streaming down her face and is sobbing. You can make out what she’s saying, barely.
“S-soldier… I’m… I’m sooo sorry!! I just… The engine… It… I can’t… I’m sorry!” She’s trying to force out an explanation but her words are stopped by choked sobs. She breaks down in tears in her hands, steam rising from her cheeks. This strong, formidable woman is crumbling in front of you.
“I’m alright now, it’s okay.” She nods, sniffling. Before you can ask about what just happened, the water on your body and clothes catches the cold air and holds it to your skin. You shiver, wrapping your arms around yourself, teeth chattering. Gale steps forward and begins to hold his arms out, preparing to share his body heat with you, but he is interrupted.
“I think I can take it from here.” Astarion says firmly, reaching into your tent to grab your blanket. Gale lowers his arms, nods in surprise and steps back. The blanket is draped over your shoulders, you hold it tightly to your body with your hands as Astarion guides you towards the campfire and away from the others, you look back and catch another glimpse of Halsin talking to a small group of tieflings. Astarion sits beside you as you warm up your hands.
“Th-th-thank y-y-you…” Your shivering makes it hard to speak. He grabs a bottle of wine and two cups, fills them both and offers you one. You hesitate. You don’t care how nice he’s being, you still don’t trust him. His smile fades and he speaks sincerely.
“I promise, it’s just keep you warm.” You still don’t take it, flicking your gaze between him and the cup. Getting a little frustrated, he goes to speak again, then sighs instead. He takes a sip of your cup, before holding it out for you again.
Satisfied, you finally take it and drink slowly, trying not to spill any with your quivering hands. It tastes like vinegar. “Ugh, th-this is a-awful…”
He responds through laughter.“My dear, I couldn’t agree more. I was trying to get my hands on the good stuff, but those tiefling kids drive a hard bargain.” You chuckle and take another sip. “I bet the goblins had good wine.” He says as your body gradually stops shivering; the fire’s warmth spreads to your bones.
“I wouldn’t know, I was too busy rotting in a cell. The party they were having did look fun though.”
Interest peaked, he leans in. “Really? Well, don’t go sparing any details on my account, go on, tell me more.” 
You smile at his eagerness. “A lot of drinking, fighting and in some dark corners you might’ve even caught a glimpse of some sinful debauchery.” You feign horror at the things you’re saying, triggering an airy, high-pitched laughter from him.
“Oh darling, you always know just what to say!” He places his hand on his heart and flutters his eyelashes at you.
You shake your head playfully. “You’re a bit of a freak, aren’t you?”
“Ah, well, if I’m a freak, what does that make you, my dear?” 
You scoff. “Maybe you just bring out the worst in me.” You sip wine nonchalantly.
“Hmm, then the worst is already there, my darling.”
A cold drop of water from your hair falls onto your neck, causing you to shiver violently for a moment. “Ugh! Hold on.” You let the blanket fall from your shoulders whilst you flip your hair forward, twisting it, wringing it out and allowing the drops to drench the floor. You flip it back and look back at Astarion who’s half-lidded eyes haven’t left your exposed neck. “Yes…?” You say, expectantly. He shakes himself out of it and clears his throat, facing the fire again, sipping his wine nonchalantly. “Like I said, freak.” You tease, he chuckles into his cup. You both gaze into the fire, side by side. Your eyes wander and spot Karlach being genuinely comforted by Gale and Wyll. Shadowheart and Lae’zel are… trying…
“So… Karlach, huh?”
“Hmm? Oh, yes she has an unstable engine for a heart or something to that effect. She can’t touch people.” He speaks casually and in between sips.
“That sounds awful.” He flicks his eyes to you, intrigued by your earnesty, then nods in agreement. “Anything else about our merry band of companions that I should know about?”
“Ha, I wouldn’t even know where to start!”
You raise an eyebrow and look at him expectantly. “Go on, tell me more...” He grins as you quote his own words back to him.
“Well… Alright. I suppose you may as well know now.” He adjusts himself and moves close, gesturing to each party member as he explains their situations. “Gale’s ex-lover is the goddess Mystra, he has a bomb in his chest and he, annoyingly, eats valuable magical items to stop it from killing us all. Wyll is the son of Grand Duke Ravengard and he’s locked in a bad contract to serve a devil called Mizora, we don’t like her. With me so far?”
“Er-I think so…?” You try to prepare your mind for more overwhelming information.
“We don’t know much about Shadowheart, but that’s only because Shadowheart doesn’t know much about Shadowheart. Amnesia. All we know is that she serves Shar and carries a Gith relic around with her... Oh and Lae’zel wants to find a creche.” He looks over at you to gauge your reaction.
“Uh… Okay… Right…” You nod slowly, staring into space. He chuckles and waves his hand in front of your face.
“Still with me, darling?” You snap out of your trance and nod.
You think for a moment, then realise something.
“What about you?”
“What?” He asks, already a little defensive.
“You told me about everyone but yourself. What about you?”
He stutters a little but regains his playful composure once again, debating the value of honesty. Then his eyes light up with an idea. “How about we make this… interesting?”
“I’m listening…”
His grin grows wider, excited by your cooperation. He leans in, even closer, faces inches apart. “You show me yours, I’ll show you mine.” He says softly, you can feel his warm breath on your lips.
You match his smug expression. “Promise?” His eyes widen for a moment, you get the first sense that he’s struggling to keep up with you, and it fills you with such a thrill. He pulls away, places his practised mask on once again and nods. “Hmm… I’ll think about it.” He seems to enjoy you toying with him, for now. He leans back to get a better look at you.
Your face changes from playful to sincere as you skim memories in your head. You take a deep breath and look at the ground. “The past is kind of hard to talk about.” You giggle nervously. Astarion recognises your change in demeanour and adjusts himself into a more appropriate listening pose. “Then let’s make it easier. You lied to us about something yesterday, can you tell me the truth?” He spoke confidently yet softly. A strange mix, but you appreciate him asking instead of commanding.
I suppose it’s only fair. A piece of me, for a piece of him…
You breathe in, readying yourself for his judgement. “Something happened at the goblin camp. I did something.” When you meet his eyes again, he’s distant, guarded, but listening intently. His eyes tell you how surprised he is that you’re playing along, and honestly, you’re surprised too. “Minthara had a prisoner, to prove myself to her, I had to… ‘persuade’ him to give her the location of the grove… I did just that.” You pause, searching his face, debating whether or not to continue. Remarkably, he doesn’t seem put off by the information. His brows are furrowed but in concentration rather than disgust. “At first I couldn’t believe what she had asked me to do, but still, something came over me. It made me hurt him, and I really hurt him... It felt like I was hurting-… Someone else… Anyway, to put it simply, it worked. I handed the grove to her on a silver platter. It didn’t matter to me, I was safe. But then I saw them, all of these people… As much as I appreciate Gale protecting me back there, it was based on a lie. They have good reason to hate me, they should hate me.” He takes in every word you say.
“Gods, I’m sorry, you must think I’m a monster-”
“No, no. I don’t. I understand.” He looks down for a moment as he processes the information.
“H-how?”
How in the hells could he understand? I sentenced dozens of people to their deaths!
He doesn’t answer. He swiftly moves on and when he looks at you, he sees only you.
“Thank you. For telling me that.” He smiles at you, then back to silent gazing into the fire.
You ask the question that burns in your mind: “Are you going to tell the others?”
“No, I don’t think so. There’s no point, really.” He shrugs, still smiling.
You exhale your anxiety. “Thank you… So… I can stay…?”
He chuckles and runs his hand through his hair. “Gods, my dear, if we abandoned every person who’s engaged in a little bloodshed, none of us would be here.” You let out a muffled giggle and hold the smile that graces your face in the process, nodding gratefully. You still don’t trust him, not entirely, but for a brief moment, you did. And it felt good.
Looking around, you notice that the tieflings are now, essentially, comatose, and so are your friends. “Looks like the party’s over.” You giggle at the sight, then look back at Astarion who never broke his gaze on you.
“It doesn’t have to be…” He places his hand on yours. And just like it was when you first met, it’s cold. You flinch at the sensation, he begins to pull away but you grab his hands and hold them near the fire.
“I think you need the heat more than me, you’re freezing!” He chuckles softly. His hands refuse to heat up properly, only the surface of his skin growing warm and even then, not for long. “Are… Are you okay? You aren’t warming up.” He doesn’t respond, he just takes your hand in his and stands. He waits for you to follow. “Where are we going?”
“Not far. I want to show you something, in private.”
Warily, you slowly stand and follow him into the forest until you find yourself in a small clearing. He lets you go and takes a deep breath. “You showed me yours, now I’ll show you mine.”
Your eyes widen and you blush, aggressively. “Please tell me you didn’t drag me out here, just to show me your dick…” He bursts out laughing which makes you feel at ease… If not the slightest bit of disappointment…
“Darling, what do you take me for?!”
You giggle and shrug. “So…?” He smirks at your impatience. From behind a nearby tree, Astarion drags out a dead boar and lays it in the middle of the clearing. “Um… Ew?”
“Do you insist on commenting on everything? Or are you going to give me chance to explain myself?” You raise your hands in surrender, allowing him to continue. He sighs. “Thank you. So… This is what I was doing last night.” He gestures to the boar, you furrow your brows in confusion. “Come, take a closer look, I promise there’s a point to all of this.”
“Back up, then.” You gesture to him to move back with one hand as you use the other to pour a sips-worth of wine into your mouth. He does as you say, moving backwards, waiting for you to inspect it.
You walk towards it, keeping an eye on Astarion’s whereabouts. “I gotta’ say, you’re looking mighty freakish right about now…” You crouch down, smirking at him and try to spot anything odd about the boar. You find nothing and in fact, that is exactly the problem. You can’t seem to figure out how this creature died. Then you see it, two small holes in it’s neck. There is no blood left in this corpse, it has been drained dry. You stand straight immediately in realisation, spilling a little wine from your cup. You back away, slowly, holding your free hand in front of you to maintain distance. You lock your stare onto him, monitoring for any sudden movements. You point at the boar. “That was you?” You ask him bluntly.
“Yes…” He looks… afraid. Of you? How can that be? You’re not the danger here, he is.
“And you’re a…”
“Vampire, yes-well, a vampire spawn to be exact.”
Taking another step back, but maintaining your glare, you dare to ask about your fate. “Am I going to die here?” Tears begin to fill your eyes, voice wavering.
“N-no! I don’t want to hurt you, I swear!” He pleads. “Look… Truthfully, you’re the last one to know! If I was truly a threat, do you think any of our companions would still be alive?” You begin to speak, but pause. Your stare softens.
Well, that explains why everyone was acting so strange at meal times…
You sigh and relax a little. “Alright…”
He does the same. “Thank you.” As the fear subsides, a new feeling emerges, anger. Not at him though, only at yourself for being so stupid, for not seeing it sooner, for… trusting him.
You grab your skull with your hands and let out the energy that’s been building inside of you.
“UGH! Fuck! Seriously, Tav?! What the FUCK?!” You throw your cup at the nearest tree, followed by weak punches, kicks and screaming profanities until you tire yourself out, which doesn’t take long. You turn and slide down against the tree, panting. Astarion holds his hands up and slowly starts to move closer, checking to make sure it’s okay. You nod and even pat on a space beside you, encouraging him to sit. He raises his eyebrows in pleasant surprise, then clears his throat, makes his way towards you and sits. You don’t look at each other, simultaneously enjoying and hating the silence.
“Can I just say… I’m a little surprised you hadn’t worked it out by now. I mean, my eyes are bright red and I have a dashing pair of fangs… so I’m told.” He taunts.
“What kind of vampire walks in sunlight, genius? I don’t have a habit of staring at peoples teeth and I thought your eyes were fucking elf thing, I don’t know…”
He chuckles. “Fair points, mostly… It’s the tadpole, you know. It allows me to do things that I couldn’t before. Well, not everything, of course.” His eyes flick to the boar.
You look at him and then rub your eyes with one hand, bringing it to a pinch on the bridge of your nose. “Gods… So, blood? That’s it? That’s all you can have?”
“Well, you’ve seen me drink wine, but other than that…” He pauses, letting you fill in the gaps. 
You sigh, defeatedly. “Well, how am I going to find blood for you, every damned day?!” You whine.
“What do you mean?” He raises an eyebrow in your direction.
“Look, I can’t fight, the only thing I can do is look after this camp. That includes cooking. I’m not having you sit with us, empty handed, again.”
“You... You want to help me feed?”
“Yes! I can’t keep putting up with that grumpy-ass face at dinner time, it’ll drive me mad.” You tease, he scoffs, feigning offence.
You bite your nails as you ponder the options, searching for anything but the obvious. Alas, you cannot think of anything as sustainable or reliable. “So… What does it feel like? Being bitten?” You approach the topic cautiously, but that doesn’t prevent Astarion from getting his hopes up, even getting a little giddy with excitement at your interest.
“Why…?” He elongates the word to it’s uncomfortable limit in your ear.
“Just shut up and answer the damned question, Astarion!”
He giggles and thankfully, chooses not to embarrass you further. “Honestly? It hurts a fair bit, but only for a few seconds. Then… Well, I wouldn’t want to spoil the rest…” He smirks at you, mischievously.
You clear your throat. “How many cups do you need a day?”
A little disappointed by the slight topic change, Astarion thinks. “Cups? I… Hmm… Two or three maybe? I’m not sure, I can’t say I’ve ever measured it.”
“Alright, we’ll start with two, then go from there.”
“I… Thank you… I appreciate that.”
“Yeah, yeah. You’d just better hope I taste good.” 
He smirks and leans in close, his cold hand on your jaw and his eyes pleading with you to trust him. You allow him to turn your head to the side, he leans into your neck, feeling the heat that emanates from it on his lips. He fills his lungs with your essence and ever so slightly groans. He turns you again so you face him, inches apart, hand still gripping your jaw.
“Darling, you’re going to be delicious…”

born to die
morpheus x reader
warnings: slight yandere themes if you really really really look, death, reincarnation, diy abortion, pregancy (for a little while)
one day, you died. and then, you came back. one minute you were a grown woman and the next, in the body of a little boy. it never hurt to die, but you always remember. you remember everything. it left you disoriented the first time, coming back. you felt scared, always crying, screaming for your lost family, but soon it became too tiring. too exhausting to mourn for people you had loved, too exhausting to love and know you’ll never spend eternity with them. it was your own damn fault, of course, not realizing what you had agreed to.
“what are you doing here?” silence filled your apartment as you stare at the man in front of you.
“i felt your yearn for me.” Morpheus says, gently. he moves towards you. instinctively, you take a step back. your back presses against the wall.
“i- i don’t know what you’re talking about. you’re not real. i’m just dreaming.” he steps closer to you, only inches away now.
“my dove,” Morpheus carcasses your check with a cold hand. you lean into it. “i am no dream. i’m back… for you.”
“no, Morpheus. we can’t.” you press your eyes closed as tears well. you love him, but the gods have said that a mortal and an endless don’t belong, their story always ends in heartbreak. he had told you himself when you had met for the first time.
it was your first life. the beginning. you were once royalty, you bathed in wealth and riches. your father, the duke, spoiled you rotten and your mother, although strict, always gave you what you wanted. no matter what you asked. so, you’ve never wanted to love or romance. what was the need for temporary feelings when you can fill your heart with gold.
“magician, why have you requested the audience of the duke?” your father’s chamberlain questioned. a man stood before him, dressed in black from head to toe. he adorned a cloak that shimmered as it moved, and with the right angle, you could see glittering stars and galaxies on the inside. a strange aura surrounded him, you couldn’t feel any magic like from magicians you have met before, but there was something about him you couldn’t place. he says something in response, but you couldn’t hear. his voice was quiet, but it felt like the ground rumbled as he spoke. you shake your head, believing you must have lost your mind.
“boo.” someone whispers into your ear. you jump and turn in surprise. your handmaiden laughs loudly at your display. you quickly cover her mouth.
“shh! i’m watching the new magician!” you whisper, you turn back and your handmaiden peeks over your shoulder to watch the magician walk through the doors. he pauses, you both still, he turns and you see him. he was… beautiful. you had never seen a man so alluring. his eyes meet yours; your heart feels like it has stopped. his eyes swirl with different colors, it reminds you of the night sky. his face betrays no emotion as he tilts his head and examines you, but you can feel his gaze soften. he turns back and walks into the great hall.
you don’t see him after that, not for a couple days. in those days, you felt a strange emptiness. you had never felt such longing before. you’re not sure what to make of it. you fill this emptiness by going out, buying beautiful dresses and jewelry, but nothing worked. you stand at your balcony, leaning your head against your arm, your ache weighing you down. you watch the sky darken and watch the trees sway in the light wind. suddenly, you see something in the garden, someone. your ache disappears, replaced with giddiness. you pulled on a coat over your nightdress and snuck outside, carefully avoiding the servants and guards. you make your way to the garden and see your mysterious magician sitting at a bench, facing the roses. you quietly come and sit next to him. neither one of you say anything, content to sit in each other’s company.
“i had requested for these roses to be planted.” you say, keeping your eyes on the red roses. you remember when you had asked for the garden to be made. it was your 15th birthday, you had made a passing comment about how a garden would look nice outside your room and by the next week, your parents had started planting and building. you smile, reminiscing your childhood. he hums, you could feel the vibrations of his voice in your chest.
“it’s beautiful.” his voice was deep, elegant. it was soothing. every ache, every pain, every awful feeling you had when you hadn’t seen him, it washed away. you let out a small breath.
“your voice is very beautiful.” you say, looking at him. he looks at you, a small smile dances across his lips. you smile back, “has my father appointed you as our mage?” you turn back towards the roses.
“perhaps.” his voice was traced with mirth and you grin.
“you’re very mysterious, magician, i’m sure i’ll see you again.”
“i’m sure you will, my lady.”
soon months passed and you fell in love, your magician had told you his name was draumey, seemed to fall in love with you as well. he came to you every night, in wake and in sleep. the two of you talked for hours. he would soon confess his true identity, Morpheus, lord of the dreaming.
“i don’t understand, why can’t we be together?” he shakes his head, his annoyance obvious on his face.
“mortals and endless cannot be together, (y/n).” he states with finality. tears stream down your face, and Morpheus turns away from you, unable to watch as his lover crumbles. “it ends in a tragedy, it was foretold in the beginning of everything.” Morpheus tries to explain to you, but you break down into sobs. his face was wracked with guilt, he only turns to leave, but you call out to him.
“please, my love, stay with me, for one final night.” Morpheus doesn’t answer, “please give me one last moment with you.” you beg. Morpheus turns back to you, silent. his eyes, filled with stars, search your face. in one quick moment, your face is in his hands and his lips on your lips. desperation was in every kiss, searing and steaming. you could feel every ounce of guilt and sadness in him. you kissed him back, needing to make him remember you. his hands move to your back, quickly undoing your lace. with in seconds, your clothes were on the floor and your body was in his hands.
by morning, Morpheus had left, leaving only a rose where he had laid next to you. as soon as he was gone, the ache was back. but soon, you learned that you were with child. the ache you had felt was gone, but dread replaced it. fear for your child and fear of the tragedy that Morpheus had warned you about. your handmaiden was sworn to secrecy, fearing your parents’ reaction. but as soon as you found out, your life ends.
you stood at your balcony, one hand on your stomach. your thoughts full of your love.
“hello.” a sultry voice sounds from behind you. you turn and the most beautiful person stands in front of you. their hair black and lips a deep red. they hum, you feel the vibrations in your chest.
you gasp, “you’re like Morpheus!” your eyes widen.
they chuckle, “he told you, hasn’t he.” they start laughing, loud and menacing. “oh, he truly loved you.” you feel fear trickle down your spine. “oh sweetheart… don’t be scared.” they smile, wide and evil. “i’m here to help you with that ‘thing’ in your belly.”
your eyes grow wide and your hand goes back down to your stomach, protective, “what? there- there is no need for that.” they pout.
“oh, but there is.” they flick their wrist and you’re falling. the balcony was built with your safety in mind, this shouldn’t be happening. you scream, but soon, you’re looking down at your mangled corpse. blood flowing from your head and- “my baby…” you feel the wind get knocked out of you. you watch as your parents run to your body, screaming. a hand rests on your shoulder.
“hello, love.” calmness washes over you. you turn to look at the stranger. she felt similar to him, to your Morpheus. “ah, you must be my brother’s lover.” she smiles, warmly.
“i didn’t- i don’t know what to do… i miss him.” tears run down your face. she wipes your face.
“i can help you, but there are great costs.” she looked at you with worry. “once i do this for you, there is no turning back, (y/n). you will never be rid of this curse.”
“i don’t care… please… help me.” you feel the loss of your love, and then your child weighing on your heart. she sighed and nodded, and with a snap of her fingers, you were born again.
you push away his hand from your face. “i need you to leave, Morpheus.” you stand firm, wiping away your useless tears. you’ve survived decades of love and heartbreak, life and death. you will not lose yourself in love again. you will not lose yourself in him.
“you love me, i know it, (y/n).” Morpheus smiles. you grit your teeth.
“i don’t love you.” even you couldn’t believe your half-hearted lie, but you couldn’t risk it. Morpheus’s smile drops. you see the man that left you once more. Morpheus backs away.
“i do not believe you, and when you’re ready to listen to me, i shall find you, my dove.” he turns away, cold.
your stomach drops and fear twists your face, “no, Morpheus. don’t do this, please. please i can’t-” he snaps his finger, and once more, you are born again.

I'm stressed because my dog is sick 🥺 can I request for joel or javi fluff, tysm ❤️
Oh, no. I hope the doggo will feel better soon.🥺🫶🏻 And since I haven't thought about agent Pena in a while...
Chokehold
It was so fucking hot in Bogota. Torturous. Not even a fan made a big difference at this point. Only sending waves of hot air in your face. Everyone was pissed off. The cases were stalling. There were no leads. Nothing to hold onto.
Steve let his head fall back, "I am boiling in my own body". You watched him while fanning yourself with a handful of papers, "I have sweat dripping down the places you don't want to know about", you huffed, making the American laugh out loud. It was easy with him. Steve was nothing but a little puppy. One of those men you could easily read.
"Why are we even pretending that we're working", Steve grumbled once more. Your eyes darted to Javi who sat across from you. Frowning as always. Murdering the paper in front of him with his eyes. An idea crossed your mind, "Give me your car keys, agent", you reached toward Javi, and he raised a brow at you, "Come on now, I'm taking you two to paradise", you chipped. "Your bed?", Javi asked, you rolled your eyes, "In your dreams". Snatching the keys from him, you ushered them both up and out of the office.
The windows were fully down, and music was playing. Steve was lying down in the back. You tapped your finger on the steering wheel. Javi was smoking a cigarette, hand sneaking to squeeze your thigh under your dress. "So, any clue as to where you're taking us, carino?", Javi finally asked. "I think she finally figured out a way to kill us and get rid of the bodies", Steve laughed making you giggle as well, "Bingo, now shh..."
The place was pretty secluded. You had found it on one of your hikes. The water was glistening in the midday sun but the side of the lake was beneath the shadow of shadows. "Oh, fuck yeah", Steve breathed out, closed the door quickly, pulling his shirt off as he ran towards the lake. You watched him shaking your head slightly. "You're getting in agent?", you asked turning to Javi, he only shook his head, "I hate water". Of course, you thought to yourself, "Is there something you don't hate?", he only shrugged his shoulders, leaning against the car.
You clenched your jaw. This man could be a serious walking headache when he wanted. But two could play this game. You started to slowly unbutton your dress. Javi held your eye contact, not letting his eyes fall over your body. Oh but you knew that your lacy white set looked great against your tanned skin. Shrugging the material next to Steve's clothes you turned to walk towards the water, "Your loss, I guess".
Oh, you were a sight for sore eyes. Holding back was a challenge for Javi. You two had been secretly dating for a while. Just office romance often got messy so you swore to keep it a secret. He watched you walking in only your underwear. If only Steve wasn't here, he thought to himself. He killed off his cigarette. Ripping his shirt off his sweaty body. Javi managed to catch you mid-walk towards the lake. Quickly swiping you off your feet. You let out a squeal. Hands instantly moving to wrap around his neck as Javi plunged into the water.
The coldness felt so good. You felt your body relaxing instantly. Then Javi's lips were on yours. A silly decision considering that you two were underwater but you two surfaced shortly after. His hands were holding you closer to his chest. You loved him like this. When he let himself go. When he left his grumpy persona behind. "You changed your mind quickly", you muttered, brushing his wet hair away from his face. "You have me in a chokehold, woman", he grumbled, eyes looking for Steve, who was peacefully floating across the lake. "Yet you love it", you nuzzled your nose against his, "Just shut up and kiss me", his rough palms cupped your cheek as Javi pressed his lips to yours once more.

I honestly don't know where to ask for the next part of amnesia!verse or serendipity!verse, so I'll ask for whichever you're feeling rn ❤️
Dick flipped the headlights off and got out of the truck quietly. Creeping to stand under your window as he scooped up a handful of gravel.
If you wanted romance and an adventure- he could do that. Fuck doing a big white wedding where you'd both be a little sad. Fuck not having Sammy to walk with you down the aisle and not having your best friend there. He was going to marry you- he didn't want to wait. He didn't want you to be sad. He just- fuck it. You could throw a party later. Right now though-
He tossed the first pebble, grinning when it tapped gently on the glass and was just about to throw the second when the light clicked on on your bedside table. "C'mon Honey," he muttered, throwing another.
Your face appeared in the window, looking confused and you opened the window "Dick what-"
"Shh," he said, scrambling up the trelis, "You wanna wake up the whole town?" His eyes glittered in the half-light and he kissed you, nipping your lip.
"Dick you have a key-"
"Yeah, and?" he said, "I can't just walk through the front door and ask you to run away with me can I?"
Your eyes widen and he smiles softly, "C'mon," he coaxed, "Get your grandma's dress and we'll go. If we leave now we can get married in the morning-"
"Dick," you breathe, trying not to giggle.
"C'mon. I got a full tank of gas and Amos did a whole oil change for me while you were at work. Sarah can watch the shop-"
"Do I have time to-"
"I already packed," he said laughing, "Marry me? Give me my Hallmark movie ending, Honey. Let me make the whole town talk-"
And when you grab the front of his jacket, kissing him so hard he felt dizzy, he felt like his heart was going to burst. "See you down stairs," he said grinning, dropping off the trellis and chuckling when you gasp, "Hurry up. We're gonna get caught! Sarah's gonna call the law on me."
Dick took a deep breath, creeping through the brush. There were men with guns crumpled all over the ground. Officers were coming to get them. But Dick couldn't care about them right now.
You were out there.
Cold. Scared. And hurt.
Something he never wanted you to be. He'd started doing all this to protect you. To make sure that you were safe, that the family he wanted would be safe.
And that's when he heard it. The softest little pained breath.
"Honey?" he called. "Honey if you can hear me I need you to help me- I'm here to take you home."
"I can't- I can't stand up," you murmur.
Dick turned towards the sound and took a deep breath, walking to where he could hear you trying to get up. Under a pile of leaves where you'd hidden to try and stay warm.
"Mrs. Grayson," he said, kneeling and uncovering you, "It's alright," he soothed. "I'm gonna take you home."
"My arm- I lost a lot of blood I think," you murmur.
"I'll carry you," he said softly. He could hardly breathe. You were here. You were alive. He wanted to cry. He wanted to kiss you. He wanted to promise to never tell you to shut up again. Instead, all he can do is lift you off the ground, "Put your good arm around my neck, Honey."
And when you do, hardly able to hold on, he rested his cheek on your hair.
Dick Grayson would meet you at the hospital. But Nightwing had work to do first.
