Okay but think about this, the cod boys' reaction to having a Barrack's Bunny with them.
(if you don't know, a Barrack's Bunny is usually a woman, but can also be a man, that sleeps around a lot with their colleagues)
Idk if you want to like do all of the fabfavorites, but I'ld be most interested in how König, Ghost and Keegan would react!!
While we're talking about König, I had a stroke of genius a few days back and decided that König to me looks like Lee Pace, so...yeah, I'm imagining Lee Pace as this man. Lee Pace is also my fc for Johnathan Sanderson but that less important rn also I'm assuming we want romance/spice here so:
COD Boys Reaction to Finding Out Reader is a Barrack's Bunny
Characters: Price, Ghost, Gaz, Soap, Roach, König, and Keegan
Warnings: Possessiveness, NSFW Implied, Minor NSFW, choking (light), mentions of STD's, reader is a barracks bunny (sleeps around essentially)
Tumblr media
Price
Price sees you coming out of some new recruits room, hair mussed and clothes wrinkled
He's not an idiot, Price has been around, he's had people like you on teams that he's worked with before
Still, this is the first time he's actually felt tempted
Calls you into his office a week later, after he's done more research and watched you dissappear in and out of different bunks. He had to be sure before he could act.
Sits you down and tells you that he knows what you've been doing
You're in a panic, sure you've been enjoying yourself but its not worth losing your job over
Everything is made even worse to you by the fact that its Price speaking to you about it
Captain of the illustrious Taskforce 141, everyone knows him, everyone knows his skill
You, in particular, know how fucking attractive he is
So while Price is "scolding" you (literally just telling you the dangers of what you're doing) you're trying desperately to pretend you aren't losing your shit and horny as fuck.
Then, at the end, Price is tapping your papers together and tells you he wants you to stop sleeping around with other recruits
He tells you that he wants you to get tested weekly now, to make sure you don't have anything
You ask him in a meek voice why weekly, why weekly if you're supposed to stop?
He leans back in his seat, his eyes practically devouring you as he reminds you
"I said stop sleeping around with the other recruits"
Price gives a much better offer. If you want to fuck around, why not fuck around with his team rather than the typically less than stellar recruits you'd been sleeping with
It's really not much of a question for you
When you accept, you see just a hint of a smirk tug at his lips, not much but enough to have you going warm
If you're warm then, you're sure you'll combust when Price pushes his seat back just enough to motion to the floor in front of his chair, his legs spread
"Go on then, you can start with just your hands until we get everything else sorted."
Tumblr media
He doesn't interact much with the new recruits outside of training, but he knows you
Ghost
Ghost learns about what you've been up to from Price
He's seen the way the other recruits flock to you and hang off of you, he knows several of them have crushes
He assumed, however, that you hadn't been giving any of them the time of day, so he's a little shocked to hear what you've actually been up to.
Maybe part of him is a little jealous, but the bigger part of him is excited.
If you're willing to fuck with recruits who barely know how to use their cock, surely you'd have no issue with him.
He waits for Price to talk to you and waits patiently for everything to go through before he makes his move
It's after training and he's just watched you the whole time, anticipation for whats coming
Ghost doesn't indulge often, but when you're so open and he's feeling more than a little desperate, its easier to wait for you outside of the locker room.
As soon as you step out he has you by the arm, pulling you somewhere quiet and secluded
He has you pressed against a wall, a thigh pressed up against you as he gets close.
He makes sure you know that Price has told him what you've been up to
He enjoys the embarrassment that flushes across your face, but doesn't let it last very long as he presses closer
Asks you if you've been satisfied with the recruits you've been fucking with. Asks you if they fuck you the way that you like.
He's right against you now, his entire body pressed against yours so all you can do is shake your head no, feeling flushed from head to toe
"Bad choice going for the recruits, if you're going to sleep around you can at least get something out of it. You want something out of it?"
Let's a hand land temptingly over your crotch as he waits for your response, his intentions are perfectly clear.
He waits for your permission before jumping you, but he certainly makes his point about those recruits
Its not hard for you to say you'll be aiming higher up from that point on
Tumblr media
Gaz
Absolutely miffed when he finds out
He probably spends the most time around the recruits, so he definitely knows you
He never would have expected it from you
Never would have known if he hadn't overheard some recruit trying to brag about it
"You're not special, they're a bunny dude. They've had like half the people on our squad."
Has a whole moment™ because he knows he has to tell someone about this, like its part of his thing as a superior to you
But also 😏
Maybe he can handle it on his own
Bides his time, watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to approach
Ends up finding it when he sees one of the recruits yoinking you out of the cafe for a very clear purpose
Hustles through a short cut to be able to cut you guys off
Acts like he has no idea what you guys were about to do
"Oh, there you are. I've been searching up and down for you. Think I can borrow them for a sec?"
You're more than a little confused when Gaz takes you back to his room rather than any meeting room
The lock of the door clicks behind you and the two of you are left alone
Gaz starts with the professional side of things
"I know what you've been doing."
You run cold and rush to explain yourself, but Gaz stops you with a hand raised
"Listen, this can't be good for you, and its against regulation, so I really do need you to stop."
You nod your head rapidly, prepared to literally fall to your knees in thanks for him not ratting you out. That is until he steps into your space
"However, if you're careful, maybe have one person take care of you, maybe it'll be alright."
Your eyes widen and a part of you runs hot as Gaz reached forward to tuck a finger under your chin, guiding you closer with just a light touch.
You're literally helpless against him, unable to do anything but follow as he brings you closer
"I'd be willing to volunteer, if you'd like"
You do end up liking ;)
Tumblr media
Soap
Soap barely knows the recruits, he hardly pays attention to them
However he does know you
Soap's had his fair share of flings and his fair share of run ins with Barrack Bunnies before, he knows the type.
And he sees you chatting it up with the recruits and his brain clicks into place immediately
Maybe he doesn't believe at first, but later he sees you sneaking out of someone's room and he knows his instincts were right.
A part of him is really excited
Since joining the 141 he's held out on enjoying any of the more risqué things that people get up to
And he's been a little too busy to actually seek anything out even if he'd wanted to
So to have you show up and fall right into his lap? He plans to take full advantage
Soap knows the game, he knows how this all works. You don't talk about it directly
So he starts by fully introducing himself, giving you his name with a joke and a little bit of flirtation attached to let you know he's interested.
Then comes the talking as he slowly hints at what he wants, what he knows that you do
You pick up on it all pretty quick, after all this is part of what you do
Still, to say you're surprised would be an understatement
A member of the famous taskforce 141 wanting to use you? Sign you tf up
When one of you finally cracks and invites the other back to your room/bunk, its a literal flurry of movement
You're both pretty much ready for this so it makes sense that you're both on the exact same page
Course he takes good care of you and you're more than pleased. He's easily the best you've had
Later when you're laying in bed together Soap tells you:
"As your superior, I am required to tell you that you need to stop this by the way. However as me?? Well, I'll find you again soon."
Tumblr media
Roach
Roach is the unlucky one who doesn't realize what you get up to until he happens to walk by the wrong room at the wrong time
He's heading to a meeting with the rest of the team, completely oblivious to any of the people he passes or conversations going on
That is until he turns a corner and passes a room where he can very clearly hear moans echoing from
Stops in place, absolutely shocked because hey that's a fucking broom closet
Sticks around just long enough to hear whoever you're with moan out your name
Then he's scampering off to his meeting, his face red and his mind only focused on what he's heard
Thats when he starts paying more attention and, after walking by yet another one of your rendezvous a few days later, he realizes exactly what's going on
He's a little uncomfortable to be honest
He found you one of the more likable recruits and had been helping you with your weapons tests
He'd taught you how to line up your shots quicker with a sniper and the fastest way to reload a pistol
He'd been rooting for you and you knew it
So a part of him felt uncomfortable because, really, if you needed someone to take care of you, why would you not come to him?
What was so great about all those recruits you were fucking? What was so great about hopping between people?
He probably wouldn't have been so odd about the whole thing if he was one of the people you were seeing
He's a bit distant the next time he helps you, not talking as much and hardly meeting your eyes.
He's touchy though, constantly reaching out to correct your form and brush his fingers over your skin in a way that leaves shivers down your spine
When your session is over, he stops you
"Listen, I'm not going to make a big deal out of this because I don't see whats wrong with it, but if you're going to be with a new guy every night, you need to at least find somewhere better than a broom closet."
You go bright red, stuttering out apologies and excuses about sharing the bunks with others, all while he watches you with soft eyes
"Well, I guess you could always use my room."
You stop stuttering and for a moment you and Roach just stare at each other.
He seems a bit unsure of himself, but after you don't rebuff him, he continues
"But I'm the only person you're allowed to bring back there. How's that sound?"
That sounded just perfect to you.
Tumblr media
König
The thing about König is that he's very possessive
Its hard to keep things and have a constant in life when you're in the military, so when König finds something constant that he enjoys, he gets attached
You become a constant in his life after joining KorTac and falling under his command
König likes the people under his command, but he really really likes you
A part of him views you as his already, even when he hasn't quite worked up the courage to tell you yet
It frustrated him more then he could explain
All that confidence on the field, but when it came to something as simple as confessing his feelings and that anxiety from when he was younger would bubble back up
But what frustrated him more was coming to the realization that you'd been bouncing around the various KorTac members practically since you'd joined
Well, the various members minus him
He'd spotted you sneaking off with Conor or Roze one too many times and he wasn't stupid, he could figure out what was going on, even if it had taken him longer than he wanted to admit
He would have to rectify this issue
He calls you to his office, declaring it a matter of utmost importance, of course you believe him
Its easier for him when he can slip into his work mask, using the title of colonel to shield him from his usual anxiety.
"I know what you've been doing."
He calls you on it. Wastes no time in telling you that he knows what you've been up to.
You panic, assuming you were on the chopping block for breaking regulation. Apologies spill from your lips.
König listens to them as he stands up and rounds the desk, getting closer and closer to you with each step.
Finally he leans over you, silencing you with his towering presence
"You should be sorry. The only person you should be pleasuring is me."
You're taken aback completely, but you can't deny the heat that comes with the possession
König makes sure that you understand who it is you'll be taking care of from then on out, all while wiping the remnants of the other members of KorTac away from your skin with his own heated touch
Tumblr media
Keegan
It's hard for Keegan to admit that he feels jealous
Usually he's calm and cool about things, always keeping a level head even with a gun pressed to his temple
He knows it and everyone else around him knows it
So its hard to admit when he is losing his cool, especially when he's losing his cool over you enjoying yourself
There are really no regulations anymore. The military is barely a military, held together by a string in a wasteland
So there isn't even anything wrong with what you're doing.
He can't tell you to stop, he'll just look like an ass
So instead he has to sit and watch as you cycle your way through half of the fucking platoon.
It eats him up, drives him crazy
He'd had Hesh make fun of him several times, mocking him for wanting to be one of the people you brought home
Hesh didn't get it, Keegan didn't want to be one of the people, he wanted to be the person!
Since finding out what you'd been up to, it had been hell, and he finally decided that it was time to confront you.
He corners you in one of the weapons tents, has you pressed against some ammo boxes as he asks you what you were doing the night before
You stutter through your answer, a little embarassed to admit to it, even if there was nothing wrong with what you'd done.
Keegan lets you stumble over yourself, enjoying the fool that you make before he just comes out and says it
He's not kind with it, instead he offers a more vulgar explanation and you gape at him, unsure of what to say or do
"No more of that, doll. I'm tired of it."
You go to protest, prepared to point out that he couldn't really stop you
Thats when you've got a leg between your thighs and a hand pressed gently to the base of your throat
"I want you all to myself. I'll take you better than any of those fucking rookies could even dream of."
He makes good on his promise

Sometimes I look at Lancer's core book and just think about how lacking it is in significant details for all the factions, like who is the current leaders of Union, to founders and owners of the many corporate entities.
I know that doesn't sound like exciting lore to anyone, but for Union, there's no one like the Camerons from Battletech or the Karl Franz from Warhammer Fantasy. And I can see that it was probably purposely implemented like this for the reason that these entities are bigger than the identities that lead them, and that's why when a name like Johnathan Harrison pops up along sith a small blurb of who he is, we start to realize his significance and why Harrison Armory is the way it is. He was basically a fascistic General from Seccomm that fled and made his own Union how he saw fit, and his clones still live up to his legacy to the current setting of Lancer.
At the same time, Union doesn't have any of that. There's no lore about some, or any politician of government in the Core Book at least other than the seats and chairs that they fill. The reason for this is to give the players the ability to make their own interpretations with the world, but it's really saying something when your big government super power claiming to be in a utopian golden age doesn't have a face to its actual organization.
(Side note: if anyone ever tells you that their realm is a Utopia, you should be taking that the same way that someone says that a ship is 'Unsinkable'. Sorry to burst your bubble Pilot NET, but some of you really need to read between the lines about this. Especially with how much of a bureaucratic nightmare DoJ HR is.)
I know that it's very much the case that Massif press could have done this intentionally to show in the Lancer setting that the sum is bigger and more significant than all the parts added together. The world of the setting is too big to care too much about one individual or planet without weeding in a reason why in most cases because unless you're playing a mission book like Solstice Rain, you probably wouldn't be visiting any of the planets or people brought up in the first place. But the thing is, to me, is that this really makes Lancer less lively than I think it should. When I read about the Albatross, I wanna know about their heroes and significant feats and journeys. I could just play and Albatross, but having record of the daily life at the perspective of a nomadic Lancer would have been told so much more than I think the actual descriptions give.
It's why I love the blurb of text on the Sisyphus NHP. It builds a character, tells a narrative, and humanizes this being most probably would only be used to get a better roll. It also implies how cycling actually works for an NHP and the significance to it. And from all this, we can see that Sisyphus knows that his fate is to be cycled and die over and over again. Something barely given full page and it's just text on equipment.
And yet we don't have anything like that for the bigger picture. We don't know that the leaders of Union generally feel or think about the world surrounding us. We don't have a set uniform for Union or any other of the major players. And as a person who was fascinated with historical things like what soldiers wore during the battle of waterloo, or what camo patterns did a certain tank use, I feel like it's a significant diservice to not give us official uniforms and outfits for Union.
Imagine what cultural reflections that could have impacted the clothing an officer would wear.
I don't know, Lancer really likes to skim on the actually interesting descriptions, but I still love it. It's just that it really doesn't give me enough reason to care about things like Cradle or the Solar System in its current timeline. There is a lot of telling, and not showing in the lore for me, but they don't even tell things that historical nuts like me might be interested in.

"Miss me?" (Spot/Johnathan x AFAB reader)
(Im sorry if this is formatted weird I've never written on tumbler before 💀)
Warning: sexual/smut, vulgar language, and walking in in you.
Not proofread :p
You and Johnathan were dating before the collider, both of you being scientists. When Johnathan became the spot you stayed by his side, beside him through the whole thing, trying to help him the best you can, finding the scientific aspects of his new form fascinating. You were still very much attracted to your loving, awkward, boyfriend, even in his new form. It was interesting to watch how his body works now, he no longer needed to eat, or drink, or do much of anything to sustain itself, and it didn't seem he had a sex drive anymore, which you missed dearly.
Even before he turned into the spot, having sex was rare, and having anything more than a handjob or oral was even more rare, but now you didn't think he even had a dick, or a mouth. And you were to worried to ask him to pleasure you with his hands, knowing he's probably not into it like he used to be, so you just never asked.
One day, while Johnathan was gone, out doing something, you were left alone in your room, sexually frustrated and pent up. You grab a vibrator,slowly setting it on your clit while you push your fingers into yourself, curling them to hit that extra sensitive spongy spot. You moan his name a few times, flipping between Johnathan and Spot, liking both of the names. You moan more, your legs wrapped around a pillow as you continue to finger yourself, getting closer to cumming.
You moan his name more, not noticing the portal opening at your bedroom door, Johnathan stepping in, looking at you in shock. You notice him and instantly stop, your face going redder than it already was, awkwardly covering yourself. "Sorry" you mumble quietly, embarrassed.
Johnathan slowly inches towards you. "Its alright" he say quietly, pressing his face to your forehead, as if he's kissing it. He slowly holds your shoulders,shuffling into the bed with you in awkward silence. You look up at him, looking at the hole that is his face. He looks down at you, a sense of comfort slowly radiating off of him.
He leans down, his hands going to your hips. "You could always ask for me if you wanted me that bad" he chuckles lightly, looking at you, or at least facing you.
"I didn't think you had much if a libido anymore, so I thought it would be more annoying than fun" you reply quietly, holding his thighs as he sits in front of you, his legs closed.
"Well you could have asked" he says quietly, as if he knows something you don't, a more happy/smirk in his voice.
He slowly pulls you into his lap, showing more dominance than he normally did before the colider. You shuffle, getting comfort in his lap, facing him as your legs wrap around his back. You kiss his jaw, smiling softly, still dripping wet, your vibrator forgotten on the edge of the bed, still running. His hands slowly dip to your cunt, slowly swiping up your slick, feeling how wet you are for him. He let's out a happy hum, sticking his arousal covered finger in his face hole, making another content noise. "So wet for me" he mumbles quietly. "I've never seen you so soked" he says.
"You can taste that?" You ask surprised when he sticks your wettness in his mouth..face? He nods, his hands returning to your hips. "You know, I still have a.." He starts but gets flustered.
"Have a what hun?" You ask gently, waiting for his answer. He slowly sits up a bit more again, drumming his finders along your hips. "I still have a cock" he mumbles quietly, your eyes widen a little, your wettness getting more as you think about riding him, or honestly just giving him a blow job like you used to. You smile. "Where?" You ask, still going at his pace, not wanting to do anything he doesn't want to do.
"Its in my hole" he mumbles, pointing to a hole on his stomach as it moves to his crotch, shrinking in size until it's just a small hole, a little bigger than the width of his cock. You look down at it, watching as his cocks head peeks out, revealing the now pitch black head of his cock. You look in shock, practically drooling over it. You softly grab his shoulders. "Johnathan.. Can I ride you? Please" you as, embarrassed but more horny, to horny to care right now.
He straightens up in shock, the rest of his cock popping out of the hole, as well as his sack. He nods, holding your shoulders as well as you sit up on your knees, still in his lap. You take your hands, pumping his cock, dripping in precum. He whimpers. "Oh fuck!" He whines, his grip on your shoulders tightening. He seems so much more sensitive than he was when he was human. You smile, continuing to pump his cock. "You alright?" You ask softly, still pumping him as you pick up the pace a little. He whimpers,nodding. "Fuck I missed this, I didn't want to bring it up because I don't think you could have sex anymore" you mumble to him, kissing his jaw. You slowly hover yourself above his leaking cock. "Can I put it in? If you don't want to it's totally okay" you say softly, holding his face with one hand and his dick with the other.
He nods eagerly,his hands going to your hips as you sit on his cock, bottoming out quickly, both of you letting out loud moans.
You bounce up and down, moaning as you get cock drunk, Johnathan getting the same feeling from your tight hole clenching down on him.
You're going as fast as you can, but it's not fast enough for johnathan. He grabs your hips, pushing you down onto the bed gently.
You whine at the loss of the thrusts, liking the dominance he's showing for once. He slowly moves into missionary, putting a pillow under your hips/butt to elevate your pussy a little so he can access it better. He slowly possitions himself at your entrance,seeing the still on vibrator on your bed. He grabs it, holding to your clit as he thrusts in. "Oh fuck! Spot! J-johnathan!" You moan, grasping for his shoulders, a little bit of drool spilling out of your mouth, feeling fucking amazing in this moment. He moans, feeling the vibrations as he angles himself to go past the vibrator as he hits your gummy sensitive spot, making you moan and yell his name. He's never been so dominant. He keeps fucking you, whimpering and whining, making you only closer to cumming. "Johnathan! I'm gonna- I'm gunna cum!" You moan, your words slured and breathy he nods, whimper as he mumbles a "me too!" As he sloppily thrusts into you, almost just humping you at this point, his hands on your thighs, pushing them open while he abuses your soaking cunt. You grab his back, holding him in a tight hug as he continues thrusting, his cock and the vibrator shoving you into orgasm as you clench around him. He moans, fucking you sloppily as you cum on him, him cumming not even three minutes later, your arms still wrapped around him, the bed now covered in cum and sweat as he stays inside of you for a little while, your insides hugging his cock as it slowly softens up, still hugging him as you try to catch your breaths. You slowly sit up, johnathans head in your chest. "Want a shower?" You mumbles sleepily. He nods, you both stumble to the bathroom, sitting in the tub as you wash your bodies and hair. After that you change the sheets and cuddle up, smiling as you fall asleep hugging each other.

That Day (part 2.5) [The Spot x Reader]
NSFW continuation of part 2 :3
A/N: reader is not gendered but has a vagina, also borrowed some dick mechanics from the fic Spotless :)
“You do?” John says excitedly and before you can answer, he keeps nuzzling you.
“I just wish I could actually kiss you. Of course, I’m able to keep my dick but not my lips.” John sighs, pulling away from you. 
“Wait, you still have a dick?” You say glancing from his face to his crotch, where you see no dick.
“Yeah, I just keep it…tucked away. Don’t want it just hanging out in front of everyone, y’know?” John says as if it was obvious. You stare at him for a second while trying to conjure up the courage to ask the questions now burning in your mind.
“Here, let me…” Before you can say anything, John reaches into one of his spots and digs around for a second before a portal opens where his crotch is and then closes, leaving a dick in its place. It’s white and long like the rest of him, but he definitely has some girth. You’re baffled at where it came from but are more preoccupied with the fact that his dick is hard.
“I have… a lot of questions.” You say, looking between his face and his dick.
“Ask away.” Johnathan says.
“Is it the same size as before?”
“I think it’s a bit longer now.”
“Does it work the same?” 
“As far as I can tell, yes.” 
“Where did it come from?”
Johnathan begins to explain how one of his spots leads to a sort of pocket where he can store things and that’s where he found his dick. You’re trying your hardest to focus but you’re distracted by the new presence of his cock. When you and John spoke about what being in a relationship might be like, sex never crossed your mind, you just kind of thought he didn’t have any reproductive organs now. But here it is now, right in front of you. And you’re getting turned on just by the thought that he does have a dick and that you could fuck the man you’ve dreamed of fucking for a long time.
“Can I touch it?” You blurt out, surprising yourself. John’s face spot shrinks for a second in surprise but re-enlargens and swirls around the edges with an emotion you can’t quite figure out.
“Sure.” John says with humor in his tone. 
A nervous smile spreads across your face as you reach down, running your finger along the base where it connects with his skin. It was fully connected, with no sign that it might have not been there just a moment ago. Everything was there, tip, shaft, balls, and all. You’re incredibly intrigued and run your fingers down the shaft, wanting to see if it is the same texture as his skin, but hear a soft hiss come from John. 
“Are you okay?” You ask, worriedly glancing up at him.
“Yeah, no, I’m good. Just…” John’s face spot squints as he hesitates to say the words. 
“Just…what?” You say, grinning and wanting him to admit that he’s hard. It’s not like it’s not obvious, and you think it’s cute that he’s so ashamed about it.
“Just…a bit.. turned on.” John says quickly, clearing his throat nervously. You chuckle and return your attention back to his dick, this time wrapping your hand around it and gently rubbing your thumb across the tip.
“Is this okay?” You ask, hearing John’s breathing pick up. 
“Mhm.” John says with a small whine. 
You start gently moving your hand up and down, seeing a bead of black precum form at his tip. Before you can think about it, you bring your head down to lick it off, and it makes your tongue tingle. As you swipe your tongue across his tip, John loudly whimpers which makes you more horny and you desperately want to fuck him.
You decide to take your time with him though, and slowly lick a stripe up his shaft. The whole time John is whining and gripping onto the side of the cushion. 
“You’re torturous,” John says quietly, his spot swirling more aggressively around the edges. 
You grin at him before taking his length in your mouth. The girth of it makes your jaw ache already but you push through, bobbing your head up and down. John’s hand makes its way to the top of your head, stroking your hair gently as he quietly praises you.
“Fuck, that’s so good. You’re so good. Thank you, thank you…” he whines in between heavy breaths. 
You look up at him with his cock still in your mouth, tears pricking at your eyes.
“God…” John whispers and places his hand on your cheek. After rubbing your cheek with his thumb and staring down at you, he gently pulls you up and carries you bridal-style to your bedroom.
As John sets you down on your bed, you reach up to pull him on top of you, to which he gladly obliges. You begin kissing along his jawline and the side of his neck, eliciting soft moans from him. John’s hands slide up your shirt, squeezing your waist as you kiss down to his collarbone. Reaching up to gently pull his head to the side to give yourself more skin to attack, you start sucking hickies into his neck. You wonder if they will actually appear on his skin or if they’ll look different, but there’s only one way to tell.
“This is better than I could have imagined,” John murmurs as you continue giving him hickies and gentle bites down his neck.
“We haven’t even started fucking yet.” You say, laughing a little. Taking a minute to admire the marks you’ve left (which are very apparent on his pale skin), you run your thumb down his neck. Smiling up at him, you place a hand on his waist and slowly move it down.
Unfortunately for you, your hand slips into a spot and reappears through his face spot, making you smack yourself in the face.
“Ow, fuck!” You exclaim, holding your nose.
“Oh my god, are you okay?” John frantically asks, hands rushing to cup your face.
“Yeah, no, I’m good. Just managed to slip into one of your holes…” You shake your head, laughing at the situation.
“Well, there’s one hole I’d like to slip into…” John’s face spot squints in embarrassment right after the words come out of his mouth. “I’m so sorry. That was bad, I’m not-”
You cut John off by laughing hysterically at his awful attempt at flirting. He hangs his head in humiliation and you give him a quick kiss on the cheek before pulling off your shirt and unbuttoning your pants. John gently pushes your hands aside as you start to pull off your pants and underwear, taking over the task at an incredibly slow pace.
“Come on, no need to tease.” You whine as John sets your clothes aside.
“Oh, really? You didn’t seem to think so before.” You can hear the smirk in John’s voice as he gently spreads your legs open.
“Well, you know, that’s-” Your breath hitches in your throat as John starts gently circling your clit with his thumb. 
He moves at a very slow pace to start, making you whine and practically beg for him to speed up. When he finally does, you let out a chorus of expletives and “thank you”s. As he continues to rub your clit, his other hand reaches up to slide down your slit.
“Wow, you’re wet. All because of me?” He comments, making you flush. You open your mouth to speak but are once again stopped as you feel one of his fingers enter you.
This time, John skips the teasing and matches the speed he has on your clit, gently pumping one finger in and out before inserting another. His fingers are very long and he definitely knows how to use them, bringing you to the brink of orgasm surprisingly quickly.
“I’m close.” You moan, feeling the wave of a climax rush over you right after you finish speaking. John keeps his speed up as you ride through your orgasm, whining and breathing heavily as you finish.
After you manage to think straight again, you pull John to you and give pecks all over his cheeks and jawline. He hums softly as you gently attack him with kisses, letting you run out of energy before returning the favor with his “compromise” kiss, nuzzling your cheek. You pull back for a moment and look at John, feeling a smile grow across your face.
“Can I fuck you?” John asks, breaking the silence. 
“I thought you’d never ask.” You say, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
John lines himself up to your hole, looking up at you as he begins to gently press in. He is definitely stretching you out a bit, but the pain was strangely pleasant to you. You breathe deeply as he finally fits himself all the way into you, letting you adjust before starting to slowly thrust.
“Fuck, you’re so deep.” You whimper, holding onto the back of his neck.
“Is it okay?” John asks.
“Much better than okay.” You say, smiling. John picks up his speed, making you whimper every time his length fits inside of you.
“You’re so good. Fuck, I’ve wanted this for so long.” John whines. “I’m not going to last long inside you.”
“I’m close again.” You say, reaching down to rub your clit. John gently pushes your hand out of the way and does it for you, quickly bringing you to orgasm. You’re overwhelmed with pleasure and John grabs onto your waist, thrusts becoming sloppy as he gets closer to climaxing.
As you manage to regain your composure, John pulls himself out of you and pulls you up.
“Open your mouth.” He commands, placing his dick onto your tongue as you stick it out. You close your mouth around him and start moving, but you’re tired and still reeling from your orgasm so you’re moving slowly. John places his hands on the back of your head, tangling his hands into your hair.
“Can I?” John asks, gently pushing your head to show what he wants. You nod and let out a quiet “mhm” before he starts moving you on his dick. You’re lucky you don’t have a gag reflex because John was fitting his cock fully into your mouth. John whimpers as he gets closer to climaxing, starting to thrust into your mouth more than moving you. His hands grip your hair tightly as he finishes in your mouth. You feel his cum fill your mouth, making it pleasantly tingle and you swallow, feeling it make your throat sting.
John breathes heavily as he sits down on the bed, using a spot to put his dick away. You get up and put your underwear and shirt back on, John watching you the whole time. When you feel dressed enough, you sit down next to John, placing your head on his shoulder and lacing your fingers with his. He sighs gently and places his head on top of yours, squeezing your hand.
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” John says quietly. You pull away to kiss a white spot on his shoulder and place your head back.
“I love you, Johnny.”

Too Soon
Part 5 to the Pouts and Spots Series
Word Count: 6.1K
A/N: sorry this is so late!! im like going through it and it sucks!! but here it is!! next chapter is gonna be my personal favorite and i wanna finish up cookies and cream mainly to get to one line that i really wanna use
-
The book is held carefully in your hand, spread just enough for you to catch the words, but not too far to ruin the paperback cover. Words turn over in your head, voices filling those for the characters, cadence heavy in your thoughts, but when spoken out loud to nobody but yourself, the words fall flat- so you’ve chosen to remain silent. Your home is quiet, the moaning of pipes and life outside from your walls echo through, and it’s the perfect background noise save for the barking dog that howls loudly in the confines of its home.
Pinched between your finger and thumb, the page turns, and your eyes skim over the words. Your tongue traces over the letters, and you startle when your phone buzzes beside you. You close the book gently, and place it beside you, careful to not let any of the corners be bent. It rests flat on the armrest of the couch, and you reach for your phone that continues to buzz harshly in the soft of your hand.
The name reads “Johnathan”.
You swipe at the green phone symbol and put the phone close to your ear.
“Hello,” you rasp out, your mouth dry and tongue rough.
Your name is called, nervously with only a hint of confidence laced into the last sound. “Hi, it’s Johnathan.” You can tell that he almost immediately regretted adding in that sentence. “What are- What’s up?”
You smile and tilt your head closer to the phone. “Hi Johnathan,” you tell him, stretching out your hand and looking at your nails, unpainted and pink. “I’m just at home, reading.” You flex your hand and think to yourself that you should paint your nails. “What about you?”
“Oh- I’m sorry. I hadn’t meant to interrupt your reading.” He says it as a nicety, but there’s no genuine sorrow in his words. and you bring your hand down.
“You’re good,” you reassure. “I needed a break anyway.” You glance at the book and trace your finger over the title. Your finger traces over the curves and sharp lines, up and down, and down and up. “The words were starting to look like words,” you mumble, tipping at the last point of the letter. “What are you doing?”
“I just got out of work-” and as if to prove himself, he yawns. “I’m-” the yawn still stretches through the words and you scoff a laugh. “I didn’t mean to yawn. I’m just,” he sighs, “tired is all.”
Pulling the phone away, the screen lights with the call and in the corner, the time reads much later than you had expected it. And to show how late it is, you yawn, and turn yourself away from the phone. You pull the phone close to you and blink away the tears. “You’re out late. Did you get a new schedule?”
“No,” he says dejectedly. “I’m close to something big, and the later I stay, the earlier I can finish the project.” You bite your tongue to refrain from asking anything about the project. “We’re close, but not close enough. But these late nights are killing me.”
“You’re there practically all day and every day. It’s definitely going to take it out of you,” you sympathize. You look over to the book, the spine unblemished and only little indentations give away that the book is being put into use. “You gotta see people other than scientists, ya know.”
He falls silent. “I’m sorry,” he tells you again, and this time, he sounds apologetic. You wait for him to continue. “I know that we’re-” he pauses- “something. I haven’t meant to be busy, but- it’s work and I can’t just stop working and-”
“It’s okay, Johnathan,” you tell him. “I hadn’t meant it to sound backhanded.”
“You said you were reading?” You hum into the phone. “What were you reading?”
“Um.” You turn to your book, mouth pulling into a thin line. “It’s kind of difficult to explain. It’s about cowboys? It’s supposed to be a classic,” you tell him.
“You think I could borrow it once you’re done?”
You snort a laugh, and then slowly let small giggles escape past your lips. “You never struck me as the cowboy type.”
He scoffs. “Why because I’m a scientist?”
“Yes,” you answer without hesitation.
“I will have you know I loved horses as a kid,” he says boldly.
“Really?” You ask not quite believing him.
There’s a pause. “Sort of,” he confesses and you smile, leaning into the back of the couch. “Their teeth freaked me out but I’m sure I owned a toy horse.”
You laugh and stare at the decorative pillow at the end of your couch. “I had these toy lions that I loved. They were like figurines for miniature sets, I think. They didn’t do anything special but I liked them a whole lot.”
“Do you still like lions?”
You shake your head to no one. “I’ll watch a video about them, but I’m not out there buying lion themed things, ya know?”
“Yeah,” he says softly. In the background, you can hear a car honk and you scratch over your knee mindlessly, the sharp curves of your nails leaving your skin with a light sting. “We should go out again.”
“You think so?” Your feet are flat on the ground as you stand up, grabbing at your book gently and letting it rest flat over the coffee table. You walk away from the living room. The bedroom door creaks open and it clicks shut. You’re in complete darkness, and only memory serves to be your guide.
He clears his throat. “I want to take you out.”
You step on your rug, the plush soft and a comfort compared to the cold floor. “Now it sounds like you want to kill me, Johnny,” you mumble.
“We should go on another date.” Your hands stretch out, the pads of your fingertips touch against the edge of your nightstand, and your fingertips bump against a candle that sits close to the edge. You hum in encouragement. “We can get coffee and go for a walk.” You find the body of the lamp and trace up the cool glass. “Afterwards, we can come back to my place-”
Your hand bumps against the lampshade harshly and you feel the lamp tumble. You gasp and both of your hands reach. The phone falls to the floor and you can hear his concern, cracked and trembling with static, through the phone. You rush to turn the lamp on and a warm glow fills the room. You blink away from the light and reach to grab your phone. You wipe the screen against your shirt and clear your throat.
“Sorry, sorry,” you repeat. “I um- I accidentally tipped the lamp over and I let go of my phone-”
“You’re okay?”
“Mhm,” you hum. ‘I’m good, sorry.” You pat the palm of your hand against your cheek, and in your chest, your heart drums rapidly. “You were-” your voice comes out in a squeak and you clear it away- “you were saying?”
“You know, after coffee, maybe we could come back to my place and-” he lets out a shaky breath- “watch a movie?”
Your smile stretches and you collapse onto the bed, trying to stave off the burning feeling that you have. “Yeah, definitely. When are you free?”
“Would you like to meet this Sunday? I should be able to have a day off.”
With your arm stretched out, you grab at your pillow, the silk case crumpled into your hand, and nails scratching at the fabric and feeling the soft cushion that rests underneath. “Sunday works,” you say quietly. He makes a noise, and you stare at your ceiling, a patch of white paint stains the blade of the fan. “How was work?”
“Work was good,” he answers softly. “I’ve been closer to figuring out how the-” he stops himself and you frown. “I’ve been busy and things are making more and more sense, but I still need to figure out how to actually make it work.”
He doesn’t want to tell you about it. That sentiment doesn’t stray away once you acknowledge it, it only lingers, and it feels like a heavy weight on your chest. You let go of the pillow case and rest your hand over the soft swell of your stomach. Your hand finds comfort over the fabric of your shirt. “I hope you figure it out soon,” you tell him earnestly. The lack of information that he shares with you can only be blamed on your profession and the way that the two of you had met. You sit yourself up, the bed creaking under the change, and you notice how the dog had stopped barking, leaving you in silence save for Johnathan on the other side of the phone.
“I just got home,” he tells you and you hear the car turn off. His words linger, and leave room for you to talk.
“I’m glad that you got home safe.” You stare at the corner of the bed, where the comforter is wrinkled and where your blanket is folded neatly, corners meeting corners. “I think I’m going to head to bed. You should do the same.”
“Oh- Yeah, of course. I- I’m sorry for keeping you.” You don’t reassure him this time, instead, you keep quiet, not a click of your tongue nor a sigh escapes from you. “Goodnight,” he says your name with the same gentleness that he always has, and you lean into it.
“Night, Johnathan.” The bed whines as you move, and in the corner where the wall and the ceiling kiss, you spot a spider, still and silent, and you watch it. And in the darkness, it disappears, and you can only imagine it in your mind until you think you feel something phantom over you.
-
The door clicks behind you, and you roll your lips to stop a smile from forming, but the effort is futile as your grin grows. “Johnathan,” you chirp, taking a step forward to look around, “your place is a mess.” You catch his eye and he visibly winces.
“I- I haven’t had the chance to tidy up.” He picks up a pillow, and attempts to fluff it. It’s placed delicately on the corner of the couch, and you both watch as it flops over. You huff a silent laugh over it.
You hum, taking a peek over to the kitchen. “Do you want me to take off my shoes?” You tap your heels against the floor and grab at a severely thinned pillow. The pad of your index finger traces over the edge, the fabric worn and threads pulled along.
“No, no. It’s fine. It’ll give me motivation to clean after I return.” He edges further into his home, and you follow, tossing the pillow back onto the couch without much care for delicacy unlike the one given to its match.
“Oh, so knowing that I was going to visit wasn’t motivation?” You cock your head to the side, and lower yourself to a squat to read over a stack of books that are cluttered onto the end table.
“That’s not- I was busy.” You give him an impish grin, and he rolls his eyes. “I haven’t been home in a minute, okay?”
Your smile falters, and your fingertip traces along a spine. Looking over to him, you quickly turn away when he catches your gaze. “Long days at the office?” You ask, focusing on a book. “Hah, “Does Any Of This Matter?’” You tap the spine of the book. “That’s funny.”
His gaze is resting on you, a soft look that makes your skin itch. “Yeah,” he breathes out. There’s movement in the corner of your eye, and you force yourself to read the other titles despite the lack of amusement. “Long days.”
“If you want-” you rise slowly, bending your leg behind you to give yourself some relief- “you can just rest and we can go out some other day.”
He shakes his head. “I’m fine.” And with his body betraying him, he lets out a yawn that he hides behind his hand far too late. Looking at you and your disheartened smile, he waves his hand. “I want to go out today.”
You force yourself to look at a whiteboard that is mounted over a counter. Black marker draws equations that only make your brows knit together. Orange and green are contrasted against the black and white. In the bottom-left corner, there is a crudely drawn person near a black swirled circle.
“Hm-” you cross your arms over your chest- “I don’t understand any of this.”
He laughs loudly, and his hands cup over your shoulders. “Don’t hurt yourself,” he tells you, giving what you’re sure is meant to be a reassuring squeeze.
Your mouth drops and you practically hurt your neck to whip around to look at him. He refuses to meet your eyes, and can only smile coyly. “You are so rude to your guest.” You pull away from him and swat at his arm. You can’t help but want to wander all over his flat, to peek at every nook and cranny, wanting to see more of him, the him that he is when he’s alone and no one is watching. Glancing at an empty water bottle, you find that he lets things clutter around him. A part of you entertains the idea of getting to clean his home together, to sit with him after a long day and have his arms wrapped tight around you. You shake your head at the thought and turn your attention elsewhere.
A bulletin board decorated with various images and newspaper clippings catches your attention and you let yourself be taken to where it hangs. There are sticky notes with random numbers stuck to the bigger poster that’s been layered with other items. You pinch over the edge of an old newspaper, and suck in your bottom lip. “I didn’t know there’s gonna be a new Alechmax in India.” You turn to him, your smile a poor mask for the anxiety bubbling in you. “You’re not getting transferred, right?”
“No!” He yelps, before clearing his throat. “No,” he says in a more controlled tone. “They’re hiring in the area. I might have to visit in the future, but even then it's just a possibility.”
You nod to yourself, and walk around his flat, peeking at every loose leaf of paper, and you can feel his eyes on you. In the kitchen area, you look at the refrigerator. You smile, looking at him with your finger pressed against the photograph. “Awe! Is this you?” He stands with other scientists, all pressed side-to-side, and his smile is small and stiff, shoulders hunched and head slightly bowed.
Soft footfalls quickly approach where you stand, and when you look up, he’s peering at the photo. “It was taken around the time when the new batch of scientists- including me- had started.”
You bump your back against his chest, and his hand wraps around your hand. “I didn’t know you were so sentimental,” you muse. Against you, he shrugs. “We can always take pictures together, too, ya know?”
“We can?” He asks in a timid voice.
“You know, I may be a writer, but I can also take really good photos.” You lift up your free hand and make a motion of pressing a camera button. “Haven’t gotten any complaints about my skill.” His hand squeezes around yours and your grin stretches. “Anyways, you gotta go change, remember?
“Hm? Oh- Yeah. Right, right.” He lets go of you and you turn around. “I’ll be-”
Something else grabs your attention, if it were just one, you could have spied on it on your own, but when grouped with so many, you have to ask. “Why do you have so many cages?” You brush past him and lower yourself, trying to find something inside the clear plastic boxes. They’re not labeled, and nothing seems to be inside. “They’re all empty,” you mumble. You tap against the clear screen, and your fingerprint is left behind.
He grabs you, pulling you away and putting your attention elsewhere. You gasp in shock, and give him a confused look. “Snakes,” he answers, practiced and perfected.
Your reporter senses tingle. “Snakes?” You ask, not believing the story, giving a side glance to the cages.
“Yeah, snakes.” His hands leave your body and you watch him. “Do you want a drink? I never offered you- That was my bad. You want water? I’ll get you water.”
“Johnathan,” you start, and he turns towards you. His eyes are scanning you, and he takes a brief look over to the empty cages. You follow his gaze, and return to him. Taking a deep breath, you take a step closer to him, and pull down the hem of his shirt. “We’re already getting drinks, remember? You need to change. I have an appointment early tomorrow, so I can’t really be out so late.”
“Right,” he breathes out. His eyes glance to the cages and you bite your tongue to avoid asking him anything more. “Let me go get changed,” he mumbles. “I need- I’ll be quick.” Without waiting for an answer, he brushes past you, and behind you, the cages sit empty.
Left alone, you walk back to the couch, grabbing at the thinned pillow and placing it on your lap. You fiddle with the corners, and turn to the end table, the lamp surrounded by books and binders, and giving a quick glance to the room that Johnathan disappeared into, you grab the binder and have it rest on top of the worn pillow.
You’re careful to open it, and your caution pays off when loose paper is at the front of the binder. It’s scribbled out notes, corners bent and highlights made upon certain lines. There’s a business card stuck through a ring. You read the name- Dr. Owens. You stick your tongue out and move on. You find more of what you found in the beginning. Notes that are scribbled out, some crossed out in angry pen strokes or in permanent black marker. Equations that make your head spin, and you flip through each page with care to not let anything slip out. Some pages are decorated with sticky notes that are wrinkled and brightly colored against the black and white pages- letters, question marks, exclamation marks, and doodles decorate each sticky note.
Whatever Johnathan has chosen to write about in this binder is not your concern. You don’t stop to read past a few words of what you can recount from what he’s said previously. In the middle of one page is a recipe, the words smudged, and smeared across the page. You wonder if he’s already made it, and another wonder passes in your mind if it’s something that he would like to do with you. On one page, is a roughly drawn picture of a spider. You stare at the black-inked spider, your finger tracing over it, practically covering half of the drawing.
You hear a rush of steps, and when you look up, the binder is snatched from your hands, and it is snapped shut, and held protectively in his arms.
He wears a white button-up, decorated with black squares and black outlined squares. It’s tucked into his pants. “Oh, you’re ready,” you chirp. The pillow is placed beside you, and you walk past him, standing by the door. “You got everything?”
“Why did you look at it?”
You scoff, a thin smile stretching across your face. “I was bored-” you shrug- “it was just there and I thought-”
“You thought what? You thought you could take a look at my things?” His tone makes you stand a bit straighter, your hands curling inwards, and your mouth goes dry.
You brows knit. “Johnathan-”
“I invited you here so you could wait-”
“You didn’t mind me looking around before-” You spit out, confused about what is unfolding.
“Because I was here,�� he snaps. “I was letting you walk around, not open up my things. I don’t look through your things.”
“I’m sorry,” you mumble. “I just- It looked interesting. I’m sorry, Johnathan.” You know that you shouldn’t have looked through it and he has every right to be upset, but you don’t enjoy this feeling of him looking down at you.
“His hand slides through the air and you bite the inside of your cheeks. “Don’t touch things that aren’t yours. I shouldn’t have to tell you that.”
You feel your ears burn. “I’m sorry-”
“What did you see?” You turn your head, and your nails bite into your palms. “What did you see?” He repeats.
“Just equations and doodles. Nothing else that I could have understood,” you say meekly. You hate how you feel right now. You hate that it’s him that’s making you feel so small.
“I don’t know why you thought it was okay to look through my things,” he hisses out, and you never thought you’d see him so upset- “but I didn’t give you permission. You come into my home and touch everything and-”
“I’m sorry,” you say loudly, stomping your foot on the ground, and finally he stops. “I can’t do or say anything more about it.” Your face burns, and your hand has begun to shake and even with your nails piercing into your skin, you can’t stop the trembling. “You know what-” you turn your head and try not to feel cold in his home- “you said it yourself that you’re overworked and tired, and obviously I’m not helping, so I’m leaving. We can-” you turn to him, and the stress is leaving, his face softening, and worry replacing any previous emotion- “pick this up some other time. But I’m gone. I’m going home.”
The doorknob is cold in your hand, and it twists softly and you let it go with suddenness when a hand holds your wrist. “Wait, no.” You stare at the door, finding paint staining over the metal. “I’m sorry. I don’t know- It’s just that there are important notes in there and I shouldn’t have left it out-”
“It’s fine, Johnathan,” you say in a tone that makes it quite obvious that it is indeed not fine. “I’m just gonna go home. It was my fault; I shouldn’t have looked through it.” You stay silent, and weakly, you pull your arm free, and he lets it go without resistance. Your teeth glide over your bottom lip. “Good luck with your research or whatever.” You give a wave without looking back, and keep yourself focused on the doorknob, and your hand wraps around it once more, and it opens easily.
You don’t hear the door close behind you, nor do you care to look back. Your ears burn and your chest is hot. The outside air is crisp, and you keep your gaze on the sidewalk, carefully stepping out of people’s way by the position of their shoes. You focus on the weeds that bloom between the cracks. And you only stop when a hand grabs at yours.
Tears prick your eyes, and you pull your hand back to you, ready to spit venom at the other person, only to find Johnathan looking at you, out of breath, and glasses askew.
“You walk fast when you’re upset,” he says between breaths. You stare at him, your eyes wandering to the other side of the street. He follows your gaze, and he reaches for you again, only to stop when you step away from him. “Can we talk, please?”
“I’m going home,” you tell him. “Go get some rest or something.”
“Let me buy you a drink. I- I told you that I wanted-”
“I don’t want a drink,” you snap. And just as quickly, you regret it. You turn away from him, and wait at the crosswalk. You watch the pixelated red hand, and when it turns into the off-white figure of a man, you walk quickly, rushing between people, hoping that he isn't following you, but wishing that he is. You hope that you’re someone worthy of being chased.
Your stomach drops when he grabs at your hand and walks with you. “Then let me take you home,” he says in a whisper. “At least let me do that.”
“I don’t want you to,” you tell him, still walking with him hand-in-hand.
There’s far too many people, your body is growing restless. You walk without purpose, your steps quick and heavy and he follows without a sound, his hand neither tightening nor softening his hold as if in fear that once you’re reminded of him, you’d pull away again. You round the corner of a building, the back of it is empty save for the stray cat that naps over the dumpster. With his hand still wrapped around yours, you step away from him, your arm stretched and your hand clammy.
You take a deep breath and look at him, eyes wide and already filling with tears. He takes a step closer to you, concern creasing over his features. “I’m sorry,” you say in a choked voice. “I shouldn’t have looked through your place.”
Johnathan shakes his head. “You were just curious,” he tells you in a low voice. “I shouldn’t have gotten upset with you.” You turn your head and blink rapidly. His hand lets go of yours and he cups at your face, his thumb arching over your cheekbone. “Please, don’t cry.”
Shaking your head, you tilt your head away from his hand. Your fingertips find themselves pinching over the bridge of your nose, your eyes shut tight where light doesn’t peek, and where organic shapes are the only thing that you can see. “I just wanna go home, Johnathan.”
“Let me take you home, then. We can walk back and-”
When you open your eyes, the sun blinds you for a second. “No.” You hold your hands in front of you, your palms facing him. You turn your head, and let your hands fall. “I just want to be alone for a minute. I know that if I go back with you and we talk, we’ll just-” you stop yourself- “I just-”Your hands shake, a trembling that’s rapid and and makes you feel too seen, too vulnerable, and with the way that his hand stretches out as to grab yours, only makes you want to retreat away from him.
Something speeds by, a gust of air and a mechanical whir to it that has Johnathan reaching towards you. His arms wrap around you, and you’re pressed against his chest, your vision clouded by blue until you shift, pushing yourself away from him. You look up in time to see Spider-man swing by, his attention focused on whatever had just rushed by. Your hands reach for your phone, and you glance at the battery- seventy-eight percent. It’s enough.
You turn to Johnathan, and stare down at your shoes- while not ideal for chasing around the city’s web-slinger, it’ll have to do. Looking back up at him, you find that he’s staring at you, no movement, and no sound. You turn to look the way that Spider-man had just swung towards. You turn back to him, your phone held tight in your hands. “I gotta go,” you tell him.
“You’re going to chase after Spider-man and some villain of the week rather than talk to me.” His tone is a mixture of hurt and accusatory, as if you’re doing something wrong- again. And you know for sure that you are this time, you know that you should go back with him and talk it all out, but the thought of being alone with him right now makes you upset.
“Yeah.” You shrug. “Yeah, I will. I am. Get some sleep or something, we’ll talk later.” Your heels spin against the concrete, and you rush to chase after Spider-man.
-
As you trudge down the sidewalk, your camera is heavy around your neck and despite the padding, the straps make the soft flesh around your neck raw. All you want right now is to collapse on your bed, or take a shower. You hum, a shower would be nice. In your pocket, your phone buzzes- something that it’s been doing all day. If it’s not emails, it’s notifications from social media, and if it isn’t that, it's phone calls and messages. You answered the people who you wanted to talk to but when the name ‘Johnathan’ appeared, you promptly ignored it, the buzzing thick in your pocket and continuous.
You should talk to him. It was a fight- an argument, really. But you can’t look at him right now, nor do you have the energy to talk to him. You’ll figure it out in the morning. You’ll have a light breakfast and message him some type of apology and then he can make the difficult decision of replying or not.
Closer to your home, on the steps you see someone and you halt. Your hands grab at your camera, and you tap your fingers against the sides. You could turn around, find some other entrance. If people can use fire escapes for something other than their intended purposes, so can you. The heel of your shoe scrapes against the concrete, and before you can spin on your heel, the person looks up and sees you.
Jonathan stands up and pulls the hem of his shirt down, and you hold on tighter to your camera. Canines worry at your lip, the flesh soft and tender underneath the sharp points. He takes a step toward you and you glide your foot against the concrete, ready to run, ready to look at anyone but him. But he falters, and his shoulders slump, and the sad look on his face makes you walk nervously up to him.
You say nothing, and he stands at the bottom of the steps, and you stand above him, and he says nothing. Neither of you make a motion to talk to the other, and a part of you wants this to end. You don’t like the difficult bits, you like it easy. You like not having to worry about what the other person is thinking of you, but now, it’s all that you can do. You hold your breath, unable to think of anything other than the beginning of your supposed coffee date.
He points towards his neck. “When did you get your camera?”
Covering the lens of the camera with the palm of your hand, you tap your foot against the stair. “I was lucky Spider-man was near the office. I was able to pick up a spare.” He nods, and you move down a step when another tenant enters the apartment complex. “Do you want to come up?” He nods, and follows closely behind you.
Your apartment is cozy- littered with personal objects and mail that sits at the coffee table. The spare camera joins the mess of your stuff on the table. He makes a motion to his shoes and you wave your hand, not caring at the moment, only wanting to distract yourself. He nods, and slips them off. You keep him in the corner of your vision, watching as he walks gently to the couch, sitting at the end of it with his legs bent and knees and thighs close together. The blanket that you use is crumpled and he sits beside it, grabbing at the corner of it and testing it between his fingers. You hold your breath and walk toward the fridge, opening it and pulling out two bottles of water. The frost over its wipes away with your touch.
“Were you waiting long?”
“Since 8.” You look at the clock on your stove. It’s 9. “You didn’t answer my calls.”
“I was busy with work.” You're quick to get to the point. “Where there’s Spider-man and a villain, there’s always bound to be some sort of danger.” You place the water in front of him and sit a cushion apart from him. Your water is in your hands, the cold slowly numbing and wetting your palms. “Got some good pictures, still and all.”
His eyes scan you over and you look away. “Are you okay?”
“Peachy.” You press into the bottle and a droplet of water traces down your arm.
“I’m serious.” He turns himself to look over to you.
You hunch over, your forearms resting over your thighs. “I’m not in a hospital, am I?”
He swallows. “I don’t like how we left things.”
You sigh and dip your head down, before lifting it with weariness. “I already apologized, what more do you want?” The water bottle is placed carefully on the floor, and even with your carefulness and gentleness, it still falls over.
“I shouldn’t have talked to you like that.” Your lips pull into a line and you grab a bunch of the blanket and dig your hands into the soft plush. “That was wrong of me. But-” you push yourself against the back of the couch and he stops. “I apologize.”
Your chest rises with your inhale, and falls down at the quick release. “What more do you want me to say, Johnathan?” You turn to him and he pushes his glasses up by the bridge. “Let’s just forget it happened. I won’t go to your place and look through your things. We’ll just- I don’t know- meet at my place. It’s not like I’m doing anything other than journalism.”
He says your name delicately, whispered as if saying it out loud would be too much and said with strain as if your name is too heavy for his tongue. “That’s not it. I’m really sorry.” His voice breaks and you flinch, looking away. “Work’s been a lot, and Dr. Octavius and Mr. Fisk are breathing down my neck-” he waves his hands, rolling his hands and flexing his fingers- “but- but that’s no excuse as to how I talked to you. I don’t want- The less that you know, the better.”
“I know,” you say curtly. “I remember our conversation from before.”
He sighs. He crosses over to sit beside you, the blanket held in his hands, the corner edge of it now held tightly. “I’m sorry,” he tells you. “I’m not good at this. I’ve dated before, but that was before things at Alchemax were getting serious. I’m not- I like you a lot. When I saw you reading through it, I-” he shakes his head, and his knee touches yours. “We met because you were determined to know more about Alchemax.”
“I told you before that I’m not using you to get to that.” Your back is straight, and your hands curve over your knees, the knuckle of your littlest finger grazes against his knee. You want to take his hand. “I don’t know what else to tell you.”
“You don’t have to tell me anything else.” He takes your hand, and holds it tightly between the two of his. “We can put this behind us if you want, but I promise, I won’t talk to you like that again. I- I didn’t like getting mad at you. And I didn’t like the feeling that it left me with.”
“I didn’t like it either,” you mumble. “It felt like you were talking down to me, rather than to me.”
His hands tighten around your own. “I won’t do it again. I promise.” You nod and you feel much more tired than you had before. “Is it okay if I hug you?” You nod, and he lets go of your hand, and embraces you.
You lean into him, your hands fisting at his shirt, clawing into him to keep him against you. Unlike your feverish grasp onto him, he holds you gently, his hands laid wide and flat against your, curving over your body, and holding you close to him. He leans into your touch, whereas you push yourself against him. His hair tickles at your nose, and you keep your eyes close, full intent to sit there until he’s ready to pull away. You’ve made your peace to sit there, to let vines grow and keep you tethered to the couch, to not let go of the smallest comfort that he's given you. When you feel his lips press against the side of your head, you press a faint kiss over his shoulder, content when he runs his hand upwards and presses another kiss against you.

how about some dad johnathan / spot headcanons? TYSM LOVE YOUR WORK
Dad Jonathan/Spot!
Uwaa thank you!! Theres a very similar ask so think of ot as a secondary piece to this post! As such the lists may be shorter but like
Make a decent length when combined
Cuz they're linked
Yeah that makes sense
Yopee
Writing this as the reader being explicitly neither the partner or child by the way!!
Not proof read and apologies for any typos my keyboard is being very rude today
Tumblr media
Dropping the hc that made me motivated to knock this out rn before I forget
The kid could literally mention liking something once and Jonathan/Spot would literally shower them in loads of said thing
"Dad, I was five when I said I loved pushpops.. I'm 16 now-"
Overprotective dad, to the point of almost being unbearing and Linda bordering on unhealthy
Especially if its spot
So if his partner is still around they're going to have to keep that in check and try to teach him that it's alright for their kid to have some form of independence
It's not that he wants to control his child to mold them into something they're not; he would never do that
Its just that hes so so worried for the little human hes helped bring into this world
What if they get hurt? Or rejected? Outcasted?
These thoughts are, again worse if we're talking about spot
If this is Pre collider, Jonathan is for the most part understanding. Its the fact that he just. Hasnt been changed and traumatized yet
Moving onto to more lighthearted stuff
Bonding! Jonathan does a lot of things with his kids; from (mostly age appropriate) science experiments to simple arts and crafts
He starts crying if his kid says they wanna be a scientist like him when they grow up, or dress up as him for career day at school
As spot, he will never and I mean NEVER EVER take you with him on his crime runs
Doesnt matter if you're a toddler or a teen or already grown
It's a hard no
You could get hurt, or your reputation could be ruined
Spot is a criminal because he has no other choice
But you? You do
And he doesnt want you to ever give that up
Ok back to more lighthearted stuff
He walks his kid to and from school; and if this is post collider he of course, uses a bad disguise
Yeah that's about it

out of all the people you write for in cod watchdogs and strangerthings who is most to least kinky
COD i dont think a lot of these men would be diabolically kinky, like they see enough shit on a daily basis, i think they just want to be loved.
BUT-
Konig and Ghost are at the top of the list, they're into some weird shit konig moreso they're both into size difference stuff, like,
ghost cant get over how small you feel in his hands, it turns him on so fast. he covers up for it by teasing you or playfully being mean, bullying your cock if its smaller than his, poking fun at how wet your cunt is when he hasn't even touched you yet, stuff like that...
i also think he might be into bullying or degradation, not to him of course, if you try to bully him he gets all fussy but as soon as the tables are turned hes relentless.
konig LOVES your size difference, i wholeheartedly believe this man is a sub-leaning, he can still dom he just needs to be in the mood for it first but thats pretty rare. so if you're tiny and you can still dom someone the size of him hes head over heals swooning for you. if you top him AND dom him hes actually in love.
hes got some other nasty kinks as well, i can feel it
third place is a close tie between soap and price,
price is super into taboo stuff, it just takes a minute to unlock that side of him. he likes being called daddy and sir and LOVES roleplay
soap is an exhibitionist, you can't argue with me on this one. he pulling you to every little nook and cranny he knows of and having at it. there was one point in his life where he couldn't have sex in normal places like he just couldn't get hard at all unless there was a chance you could get caught.
Stranger Things
first place is Johnathan, youu know that saying i think its like the quiet people are always the freakiest.
hes nasty, i can feel it in my bones.
he LOVES taking photos of you and himself, he gets off on knowing you're probably jerking off to one of his pictures.
slight exhibitionist, he likes going to develop his photos in public dark rooms, the thought of someone seeing one gets him all hot and bothered.
hes kind of into cnc, as far as his photos, nothing more than taking pictures of you without you knowing you've already consented before
next in line HAS got to be eddie, theres someone i cant remember the name of who hc's him as a virgin and i whole heartedly believe it, hes had so much time to just sit and think, hes got so many filthy little fantasies and hes so pent up
he likes being edged, hes only thought about it, every time hes tried he ends up getting too desperate and making himself cum anyway, if its by accident or not.
he gets off on being called a pervert, maybe a freak but only if its in an explicitly playful way, theres a fine line and honestly its better to steer clear of degradation unless he states he wants it outright.
he likes being made to say what he wants, he likes to act confident and stuff but as soon as it comes to actually having sex hes so nervous.
i also think he really latches onto nonsexual domination, not like anything aggressive just if you nonchalantly do something that strikes as dominant in your every day life he starts getting hot and bothered like, telling him to do something "answer the phone, I'm busy" or "move i need to get over there" he likes a man who can assert himself without being overly aggressive.
steve and controversially billy have to be the most vanilla,
as much as i want to say steve is a kinky degenerate, hes not. hes a rich white boy with no parents, he probably just wants to be comforted during sex.
but that doesnt mean he wont try things you want to try, hes open to suggestions you have. the kinkiest thing hes ever initiated would probably be heavy making out along with some frottage in a public bathroom.
billy is heavily traumatized and very like self-repressive and oppressive, he hates himself for being gay and he probably won't let you touch him like that for the longest time.
WATCH DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so excited to get this one, i never get watch dogs asks but i love my babies sm
first on the list is wrench, duh. the guys a fucking degenerate, he wants to try any and everything, no matter what it is.
i think his personal favorites are choking, cameras/filming, wearing women's underwear, and exhibitionism less so in legion
he doesnt like being called or calling you daddy unironically, it gives him the ick if its done seriously.
second is probably jordi. the more i think about it the more i think he might be kinkier than wrench but jori knows what he likes whereas wrench will do anything.
jordis into objectifying, hes not really the kind of guy to turn to a sex worker, i see him as a fuck buddies guy purely because he thinks hes too old/his job is too much to have a real relationship with you but he still acts like your boyfriend and he gets possessive in the way where he stalks you and your socials for more info about that new guy you're hanging out with. he wants to be the only guy you fuck and what he wants he gets.
jordi also favorites rough sex and choking and he likes cumming inside you whether you like it or not.
hes also super into spending money on you but only when it benefits him, he'll whine and complain if you ask him to buy you a charger or something but hes all over buying you like expensive ass lingerie or something
in last place is marcus, im sorry but he doesn't give me kinky vibes, the kiniest hes ever gotten was playing the weekend and turned the leds red while you fucked

"Will they?" "Won't They?" Don't Worry My Loves, They Will ;)
Scroll down to see an analysis of who the heck the duffers could be calling a "will they" "won't they" couple. The first section is basically just context with some of my thoughts so feel free to read that as well! <3
On November 5th, a day before Stranger Things Day, the official Stranger Things twitter posted a thread of tweets replacing Steve's iconic 'boobies' quote (I have no idea how else to describe it lol) with various fandom inside jokes and comments like that. Here is the order/content of the tweets!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay so, the ships/people mentioned in the previous tweets were Steve Harrington, Lumax (WE LOVE LUMAX, Lucas + Max), Erica, Will Byers, The Byers, JOPPER (WE LOOOVVVVEEEEE, Joyce + Hopper), Murray, Dustin (DUSTYBUUUUNNN), AN ANONYMOUS COUPLE WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT, and then El.
I find it very interesting that they put the mystery couple directly before el, it's kind of like establishing Els independence for the upcoming season!
Now, what in the world is a "Will they" "Wont they" couple, and who could the duffers be describing?
Tumblr media
So this is my understanding of the basic characteristics of a "will they" "wont they" couple;
Romantic chemistry shared by both people
Relationship is threatened by all of the following;
Uncertainty
External obstacles
Internal strife
Romantic tension that remains unbroken or unresolved
Now let's compare this list to different st couples the duffers could be referring to, I'll try and remember all of them but there are a lot so lmk if I miss any! To check the criteria I will name a couple or ship, say their status and go through the criteria as it relates to each! Each couple must meet all the requirements of a "will they" "won't they" ship to be considered as such.
Which ships will I be counting? I mean, the criteria are automatically biased based on my perception of the show, so I'm trying to use solid canon evidence that the couple either is romantically involved or at least one person in the ship is romantically interested in the other. Both characters also have to be a part of the main teams of s4 like either the California (mike will el Johnathan argyle), Hawkins (Dustin steve robin Lucas max nancy erica), or Russia crew (joyce hopper neil murray). (I'm excluding Eddie because he's... well... not a contender anymore). For example, Milkvan would count as a valid ship to consider because , they are dating, but a ship like Dustin and Lucas wouldn't count (only for what I'm trying to do here, ofc I think every ship is valid as long as its respectful, everyone has their own headcanons and I support all of your perceptions of the show ofc <3) because there is no canonical evidence to support this being a possible romantic pairing in the show. Anyway, let's get started, if you have any questions on how I determined if a ship could be considered or not please feel free to message me, I love talking to all of you! Oh also I should clarify as well that I'm only counting ships that have both parties alive (with the exception of max who we aren't sure is alive or not)
Couples I'm choosing not to include (but still meet criteria to be considered): Duzie, dustin and max, robin and vickie (because vickie isn't a part of the main groups and I don't think that their relationship has built up long enough to be considered a wtwtc, however, if you disagree id love to talk about it!)
Color code: True False Is a wtwtc is not a wtwtc
COUPLE Jancy (Johnathan Byers and Nancy Wheeler)
STATUS Dating; They have been dating since season 2 when they got together after an interrogation from Murray. In season 4 they struggled with maintaining the relationship due to the long distance, but when they reunited this was mostly resolved, still some stuff was left up in the air with stancy and all.
CRITERIA (1) Yes there is romantic chemistry (2.1) No, there is no uncertainty with the validity of their relationship. While they may be struggling to figure out how to maintain their relationship, there is no uncertainty about whether or not they are in a romantic relationship. (2.2) Yes, there were external obstacles such as stancy but those obstacles have been resolved and are no longer affecting the couple. For example, will going missing and steve and nancys relationship count, but both of those obstacles have been resolved (2.3) No, there was no notable internal conflict besides shared trauma and anxiety about approaching their feelings for each other. (3) While there is romantic tension between them, the tension was resolved by them getting together and becoming a couple officially
While there is romantic chemistry, the ship did not fulfill all requirements to be considered a "will they" "wont they" couple
COUPLE Stancy (Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler)
STATUS Ex's; In season one, Nancy and Steve were in a relationship. They broke up after Nancy called their love bull shit at a high school party. There is some romantic tension again in s4, though it doesn't really go anywhere, at least directly.
CRITERIA (1) Yes, there is romantic tension. Especially in season 4, there are numerous moments of sexual tension. (2.1) Yes, there is uncertainty with the validity of the relationship. However Steve wants to have his "six little nuggets" with Nancy, but we as an audience can visually see how that future doesn't excite her. Steve still loves nancy but nancy does not love steve, no matter how much she hopes she does. (2.2) Yes, there is an external obstacle, Nancy and Johnathan are a couple so that is an obstacle that would get between them from being together. (2.3) No, there are not a ton of moments of internal conflict. Steve potentially likes Nancy again and Nancy doesn't feel the same IMO but even considering that, there is no internal conflict that is a barrier between a platonic or a romantic relationship. (3) No, there is no unresolved sexual tension, as they have already been in a relationship
Jancy does not qualify as a will they won't they couple, they have already been in a relationship, and the romantic tension was already broken so there's nothing new romantically to build up that hasn't already been done.
COUPLE Lumax (Lucas Sinclair and Max Mayfield)
STATUS Ex's, Romantic interests, kinda unclear lol; Max and Lucas got together at the end of season 2, when they kissed at the Snowball. They were dating throughout season 3, however, in the beginning of season 4, we see max isolating herself from the party, and therefore we as an audience understand that Lucas and Max were not together romantically anymore. It wasn't until we see them at billys grave and we also see Max and Lucas together at the Creel house (Lucas asking Max on a movie date) when we finally see them express romantic interest in each other again Not super related but this is a parallel to Jopper with Enzos and the fact that they couldn't go on their date because of multiple obstacles (like Joyce standing hop up to figure out why her magnets weren't working, and hop going to Russia causing everyone to think he was not alive anymore)
CRITERIA (1) Yes, there is romantic tension between Lucas and Max (2.1) While there is uncertainty with what Lumax's future will look like, there is no uncertainty with whether the romantic feelings they have are requited or if they have the potential to be in a romantic relationship because they already have been in a romantic relationship. (2.2) Yes, there is one big external obstacle which is max literally being in a coma lmaooo (2.3) Yes, there are internal obstacles Lucas and Max struggle with regarding their romantic feelings towards each other, especially Max. Max isolates herself after she experiences the trauma of witnessing what happened to billy and she experiences symptoms of vecna's curse, basically she's being vecna'd and that causes her to suffer mentally and therefore she isolates herself from the party, especially Lucas. (3) While there is unbroken romantic tension that came up in s4, Max and Lucas already dated so there is no new romantic tension that could be potentially broken here. "will they" or "won't they" couples are typically built up over numerous seasons, so the previous romantic history between them would disqualify them from being considered a "will they" "won't they" couple.
Lumax can not be considered a "will they" "won't they" couple because they do not fulfill all of the criteria to be considered a wtwtc, and even if they did I don't think that lumax would be the wtwtc they were talking about because they were already mentioned in Stranger Writers' thread as an official ship
COUPLE Mileven (Mike Wheeler and El Hopper)
We already know that Mileven is not a "will they" "wont they" couple because they are already in a romantic relationship, but I'm going to pretend like I don't already know that because its good practice for me to be able to be more open to other perspectives of the show and also I think its important in general to analyze the dynamics of their relationship anyway :)
STATUS Dating; (I am a passionate byler shipper so I will try and be as factual as I possibly can) Mike and El kissed towards the end of season one but didn't get together again until the end of season two when they finally went to the snowball together. El dumped his ass in season 3, Mike said "I love her and I can't lose her again" in a heated fight with the group, and they got back together at the end of the season when El said she loved him too and kissed him. In season 4 we see them struggle with managing the distance as well as discovering their own identities. Mike has trouble saying 'I love you' to el (he is discovering his sexuality simultaneously... regarding his feelings for will), and El is not receiving the type of love she wants and needs from mike. At the end of the season, we see mike and will stand together and El stands alone, which foreshadows an independent El for season 5.
CRITERIA (1) This is something that is super controversial in the fandom, and as a byler supporter I personally don't think that there is any romantic tension between mike and eleven, but I will try and look at it from multiple perspectives.
As a byler supporter, what I see is a longing for romantic feelings, especially from mike. Mike wants to fit in and his role models are nancy and his parents, both of which have been in toxic relationships and fake love (stancy) and that is all mike knows about romantic feelings. In season one people continue to accuse mike of having romantic feelings for el. When Mike first meets el, he treats her kind of how he would treat any other peer, like showing her his toys and being nice and letting her sleep in his basement. The romantic implications of that don't even cross his mind until Lucas and Dustin point them out. There is a huge difference between the was Lucas and Dustin interact with el, and the way mike does. Lucas and Dustin think, oh this is a girl, omg a girl in mikes basement. But mike is focused on finding will, and El could lead him closer to finding him. Mike claims that he has always loved el, but he literally tried to get her to go back to where she came from in their first few moments together. Like we don't see Mike actually push for El to stay until she recognizes will in that photo. Lucas, dustin, even his older sister Nancy all ask him if he likes el romantically. I think this gets in his head a lot, which causes him to kiss her at the end of the season. In season two at the end of the season we see mike sulking at the snow ball. I think mainly this kind of had to do with the fact that will was out dancing with a girl and he felt jealous feelings but didn't understand why or what that meant. That is my perception because of the headcanons I have of byler but if I'm looking at it from a mileven perspective then it was because he assumed she wasn't coming. Personally, I don't think this is why because he knew she was back in town and she was okay and there must have been some communication about whether or not eleven was actually going to the snow ball but either way she showed up and we see his face change. Then right after we see El walk in and I think he uses the shame from his jealousy to motivate him to do romantic things with el, but that could just be my opinion because thats what I believe in my head lol. For el, she only really starts expressing romantic interest in mike after she starts watching soap operas. Mike kissed her in s1, and when she sees couples kissing on the tv in s2, she has a realization that maybe that was something couples do so that means that she likes mike... right? Or does she have this thought because she doesn't have any other exposure to what romance actually looks like? Its an interesting question to dive into, and I'll go in more detail in a future post if anyone would be interested in that. I think something that is very telling is the mileven breakup in s3. This scene has been analyzed over and over again, but in general, the way she says "i dump your ass" so easily and then laughs about it on the bus with max is very telling. Like idk about you but if I was supposedly in love with someone it wouldn't be that easy to just dump them and then giggle about it a few minutes later. In s4 we see el being very inauthentic, like for example she looks at the note on the flowers that says "from mike" and then puts on a fake smile. And over the season we kind of see this fake smile start to break down until she stops talking to mike altogether at the end of the season. At the end of the season El knows that Mike can't give her the love she needs. The fact that he says I love you, which is what El wanted to hear, but she still gives mike the silent treatment after his confession and we don't see them talk for the rest of the season? Like I love you is what she thought she needed but it didn't fix anything because she knew they were just empty words said in the heat of the moment, just like how he said "I love her" in the heat of the moment in season 3. There is soooooo much to talk about, especially in season 4 and season 3, so let me know if you want more of this because I have a lot to say but I should get back to the topic of this post <3
(2.1) No, there is no current uncertainty regarding the validity of their relationship. As an audience, no matter if there is a deeper meaning or not, we know that el has said I love you to mike and mike has said I love you to el. No matter if those words are true or not, we as an audience are expected to believe this as canon and therefore their romantic feelings for each other are not uncertain after Mike said I love you to el. (2.2) Yes there have been external obstacles, however, at the end of season 4 these are all resolved to our knowledge. El is back in hawkins with mike. The only other obstacle I can think of is will, but neither el nor mike are aware of his feelings for mike, so I would save this for a potential season 5 obstacle. (2.3) Yes, there are internal obstacles. Mike is having a hard time saying I love you to el because of internal hardships regarding his sexuality, and el is not receiving the love that she wants or deserves from mike. This is the opposite of a will they won't they couple, this is incompatibility and its obvious. (3) No, there is no unresolved tension. Mike and el have both said I love you, kissed, and had a relationship, there is no tension that needs resolving anymore, if anything their relationship is getting boring at this point IMO (no hate to milevens at all you all are totally allowed to love your ship <3)
No, Mileven is not a "will they" "wont they" couple because they have already broken the tension that is needed to be considered one and they are already in a relationship
COUPLE Jopper (Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper)
STATUS Dating; I think Jopper has always been a will they wont they couple. There has been romantic tension with them since the beginning. Joyce has always been comfortable just walking over to hopper, speaking her mind. We see them start to form an emotional bond over season one. Then throughout the seasons, they get closer which leads up to hopper asking Joyce out on a date and they plan to go to Enzo’s but the plan changes when hopper disappears to Russia at the end of season 3. Season 4 they reunite in Russia and release all the sexual tension by making out in the warehouse thing. It’s a lot more beautiful than that but I have a migraine and can’t think of a poetic way to write that lol.
CRITERIA (1) Yes, there is soooo much sexual and romantic tension between joyce and hopper!!! Literally in every single season, especially season 3 and the end of season 4! Theres no other explanation needed :) (2.1) No, there is no uncertenty with whether Joyce and Hopper like each other romantically or not. We know that both of them like each other and they both have expressed romantic interest in each other. (2.2) I mean besides bob in season 2, and basically the entire world ending, there arent too many outside obstacles currently at the end of s4. Hopper was like kinda gone in another continent for most of the last season though so that counts. (2.3) Yes, there are internal struggles. Hopper struggles with grief and for most of season one and two joyce was emotionally unavailable due to the trauma of losing her son and people telling her she was crazy. Both of these characters love each other, but they are both so scared of losing the ones they love that they love, they cant bare to give all of their love to each other just to have It ripped from them all over again.
This is off topic but this inspired me to talk about loss throughout the show, which is centered around loss. Thats what its all about. The first ten minutes show a a family, a friendgroup, even a whole town that is greatly affected by the loss of a boy. Especially in season 4, I think that the major theme throughout the show was the fear of loss, especially around the idea of love whether it be platonic love or something more. Max distanced herself from the group, partially because she was afraid of causing even more pain and loss than she felt she already had. El was so scared of losing mike, like we can see her desperately trying to be worthy of his love. She wrote to him like every day, she lied to seem cooler than she was, she faked smiles to make sure everything was perfect. Mike is probably the one most affected by the fear of loss in my opinion. His best friend went missing and he thought he was dead, then el went missing, then will almost died again in season 2, then el almost died in season 4, like the amount of times mike has had to deal with the idea of his friends leaving him is very sad. I think a lot of this stems from his childhood. Will is also scared of losing others, especially his sister and brother and mike
(3) No, the tension was broken when they kissed in season 4 lmao. Also when they kept talking about their date. This was a hard couple to debate on, especially since they were a will they wont they couple in the past, but I think because they already broke that tension, and its canon that they have romantic feelings for each other and they have done romantic things together, there is no uncertainty if they like each other more than platonically. I think that jopper is like the original "will they" "wont they" couple, and then that romantic tension was broken and now they're just a slow burn romance! Ugh I love them so much I could talk about them for hours :) If anyone wants to talk about them id love to!
This was a difficult one to determine but since there is no uncertainty with whether their romantic attraction is requited, and the romantic attraction has been acted on, I do not think that they can be considered a "will they" "wont they" because like, they already DID if that makes sense!
COUPLE BYLERRR! (Mike Wheeler and Will Byers)
STATUS Best friends, potential love intrests, gay as hell; Its currently canon that Will is in love with Mike (confirmed by noah schnapp), however it is not yet canon if mike is romantically interested in will (even though it couldn't be more obvious). There is sooooooooo much romantic tension between the two, not to mention the COUNTLESS parallels between them and other couples from the show. Not only just from stranger things, but actual canon gay couples from OTHER SHOWS! Like the duffers put a lot of thought into their parallels. Its truly beautiful, like they are the best slow burn gay romance in all of tv history. Its undeniable.
CRITERIA (1) YES OH MY GOD! There is soooooo much romantic chemistry between the two! Like especially from mike.
BEST FRIENDS DONT LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE THAT! tHEY JUST DONT! THEY ARE BLUSHING LIKE NO BODIES BUISSNESS AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHERS LIPS AND THIS INTIMATE MOMENT IS BROKEN SUDDENLY, JUST LIKE SO MANY INTIMATE MOMENTS IN THE SHOW!
Tumblr media
Like, come on... theres just so much evidence that they are in love, not to mention all of the "intimate moments" and parallels to other couples. I could go on and on! (2.1) Yesssss there is uncertainty and loooaadddssss of it! The beautiful thing about byler is its up to interpretation. Neither of them just comes out and says out front they are in love, will uses el as a cover for his own feelings, and mike just is scared to be vulnerable about how he feels because of external and internal homophobia. Both of their romantic feelings for each other are shown not only through just words and physical communication, but also through symbols, set, lighting, music, etc. Their story is left up to interpretation because that's just accurate to the time. We are unsure if both of them love each other canonically, but we can feel it, that's the beauty of the show. We know that will is in love with mike. Thats canon. But mike, mike's story is so accurate to the struggle of growing up as a gay kid, and many adults who have grown up in the 80s have said that they identify themselves with mike and wills story! Like as a queer person who grew up with similar feelings to mike and will, its just beautiful to watch their love story unfold despite all of the obstacles they face. (2.2) EXTERNAL OBSTACLES! SO. MANY. EXTERNAL. OBSTACLES. I mean, this is a gay love story about two gay boys in the 1980's, a time when homophobia was experiencing a spike due to the HIV crisis and hate crimes and everything of that sort. And not to mention that mike is in a relationship with wills sister, so even if mike broke up with el, will getting together with his sisters ex boyfriend is kind of a betrayal to her so there's a sense of guilt or shame that's added on top of the feelings he is already having. And for mike, he has to navigate the fact that he cant say I love you to his girlfriend because he already loves will. Also he doesn't know will loves him so he assumes that he has no shot with him anyway. Not to mention all of the supernatural struggles that come with their feelings for each other. Like in season three and two, a lot of the times mike and will have an intimate moment he then feels vecna. Also the fact that will is literally being brainwashed by vecna for like half the season. Also the bullying in seasons one and two when the boys, especially will, have been called homophobic slurs their whole life. This causes shame and guilt for who they are, which makes them hesitant to acknowledge their feelings for each other.
(2.3) INTERNAL OBSTICLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! SOOOOO MANY! First of all internalized homophobia, which mike sufferers from a lot! Its shown throughout the show in so many ways. First of all, mikes relationship with el is kind of an avoidance tactic for mike, as well as a safety tactic. He uses his relationship with el to convince himself that he is in fact straight and he does everything he can to be perceived as straight, even by himself. For will, there is so much shame that has been thrown at him his whole life. Not only from his father but his peers. He has been bullied his entire life and so has mike, they have experienced homophobia their whole lives, which has caused them to believe that they themselves are the problem. And there's a whole other struggle that especially affects mike, which is heteronormativity. The minute he showed el any kindness at all, everyone started asking him if he liked el and were calling her his bf and stuff like that. Hes lived in this headspace that in order to be seen as 'normal', he has to be straight. Like he thinks that getting a girlfriend and giving up on the 'childish' things he enjoyed as a kid like dnd is all a part of growing up. There's just so many internal struggles with both of them, especially in regard to their romantic feelings for each other. (3) No, the romantic tension has not been broken yet! There is sooooo much tension and so many scenes where they seem like they are about to kiss or about to confess their feelings, but they are interrupted by a person, a noise, etc. They are so in love I love them so muchhhh! Like for example the bedroom scene when they're like "I didn't say that" and mike is like "you didn't have to". Like that scene is a direct parallel to another gay ship that KISS after they exchange their little "cool", "cool". But for byler that tension is interrupted by the van arriving, like there are so many examples of this throughout the show! I could go on and on about byler so let me know if you want me to discuss this more :)
Yes, Byler is a "will they" "wont they" couple! While many of the st couples have fit under the "will they" "wont they" umbrella at some point in the show, the unknown romantic aspect of their relationships have all been resolved except for byler! And even if jopper counted as a "will they" "'wont they" couple, the st twt still mentioned them in the thread before they mentioned the will they wont they couple, so it wouldn't make sense for jopper to be referred to twice in the same way.
So to kind of summarize all of those words, byler is the only "will they" "wont they" couple in present-day stranger things canon, which therefore is EVEN MORE evidence that byler will be end game. Especially because the way the line is used in the first place, like steve saying that Vickie obviously likes women, and then that being true in the end, it shows how byler is also true and it will happen! I hope all of this made sense! Sorry this is pretty delayed after the thread came out, I've been so busy and also trying to add to this post as much as I could over the past few weeks haha. If you have any fun things to add or stuff you want to discuss please do! I always love talking to you all. As always, much love to everyone <3

Use this ask to ramble about anything, better if it's about Roach 🪳💖
(btw I think I found you in twitter by accident, I'm not sure, too anxious to follow anyway)
AHHHHH YESSS ROACH RAMBLE ASK MUAH MUAH (KISSES)
I haven't gotten to yell about my boy by himself in so long omggggg
Oh also before I forget, you probably did find my Twitter! I haven't really made any posts about it cause, tbh, I still have no idea what I want to post there, but I do indeed have a Twitter! It is here for anyone who wants to follow me. Right now I've just really been dropping random cod thoughts and reposting a lot of artists content, but who knows maybe I'll start doing some Twitter exclusive stuff or thread fics or something (has no idea how thread fics work). Anyways on to the boy:
I'm using this as an opportunity to just talk about whatever comes to mind and the first thing I wanna start with are like some alternate ideas I had for Roach's family before I landed on the Sanderson dynamic that I have now:
Roach from a military family
Imagine how fun it would be if Roach was raised in a military family, especially if they still had that overprotective aspect to them. Like baby boy who was raised around the military so he's been intimately familiar with it
Maybe he had some different talent and his family wanted him to go down a different path and not go military like them
He says fuck that and joins the military and fucks around and ends up joining taskforce 141
Extra funny points if his family don't realize that he's on a specialized taskforce cause he was so nervous about telling them and they find out in dramatic fashion
Maybe he drops in to save them on a mission or something like 🤭 the drama of it all I love it
Also side note but I was thinking so hard about the Sanderson boys (Johnathan and Eddie) and I can't draw so I have to snatch some Face Claims for them so this is what I think Roach's older brothers look like:
Johnathan is played by Lee Pace don't test me this man is tall and probably acts as his own security at his bar and also is a goofball and idk Lee Pace is perfect (this should not detract from me also thinking that Lee Pace is a perfect fc for König)
Tumblr media
Eddie to me has to look something like Luke Norris idk I feel like he needs a softer and more like nervous/panicky energy than Johnathan and this man fits don't test me don't test me
Tumblr media
Also for anyone who is wondering: No, I still don't have a face claim for my Roach. In my mind he changes so much I see so many different artists versions of Roach in my brain at all times so choosing an actor for him is so hard. I have...thoughts, but idk that anyone would enjoy the thoughts that I have so we'll pretend I don't have them.
More on Roach cause he's my lil guy, my lil dude, my lil buddy
Listen y'all know Southern Roach is my bias but also also also have been falling in love more and more with the idea of Russian Roach. He would be so funnn like he works with Nik beforehand maybe he was undercover with the ultranationalists. I also enjoy the idea of him cursing Shepherd and/or Makarov out in Russian I think it would be fun.
However Southern Roach rains supreme I was thinking so hard about a ghostroachsoap au recently based loosely on the song "Farmer's Daughter" by Rodney Atkins. (Y'all let me know if you want the full au its really just farm au cuteness)
Thinking so hard of Roach just being beloved in his small town as this Golden Child precious little dude then he goes off to the military and finally let's that feral side come out a little. Imagine how funny it would be for Ghost and Soap to go home with Roach and see their boyfriend pu on this innocent act and listen to people describe him as this perfect little guy when they know for a fact that Roach is like borderline feral two steps away from being considered a wild animal.
"He's such a good boy, would never hurt a fly."
Ghost and Soap who watched Roach tear a man's throat out with his teeth last week:
Tumblr media
Also taking the opportunity to say that we as a community need to start acknowledging hoe canonically skilled Roach is with weapons! Like this is a boy who had both Price and Soap cursing because they couldn't get any kills because he was killing them to fast. This is a boy who beat Ghost (his luitenant) on a rifle test by a wide margin and on the test that ghost beat him he only fell behind four points.
Roach canonical has several extremely brutal takedown moves that he can do, including the pickaxes and the little fucking kick thing he does to the one guy before stabbing him. Also he's like straight up flipping his guns and doing tricks with them and shit in his weapons inspections, Soap talks about how good he is with C4 and shit.
Like I think people see the like spots where he got into trouble and nearly died in the campaign and take that to mean that he's like not as good as Ghost and Soap and needed their help a lot but like honest to God all of the trouble he gets in to is less because he fucked up and more because the world seems to have it out for him.
The roof breaking out from under him, the ice cracking on him, explosions happen to rock his ass just as soon as he hits an open field. Like someone was trying to kill this little fuck and two outta the three times they failed.
And like its not like Roach doesn't help himself during these situations. Like when he fell yeah he had Soap guiding him but he was the one having the run and slide and do all that shit like no amount of Soap's guiding could have made that easy for him.
Also this boy almost falls off a cliff but is able to get himself back on track enough that he not only finishes climbing the cliff but then does a whole ass stealth mission basically invading a Russian military base on his own???
Roach is a very talented and skilled bug and we should all be patting him on the head for how cool he is.
Also I think its absolutely funny cause In my mind he's smaller than Soap and Ghost both like height and build wise (not small, just smaller than those two behemoths) and so when the trio of them are together people like tend to underestimate him meanwhile Ghost and Soap are like "Uh, no, no you uh hey dude no" because they know that Roach will gladly fuck people up.
I also love the idea of Roach appearing out of nowhere like a fucking cryptid. There is no talking behind Roach's back or keeping secrets he is everywhere at once and will appear out of thin air. Ghost and Soap have to like fully leave base if they want to plan a surprise for him and even then both of them have no trust that Roach won't somehow pop into existence next to them waahahhahaha
Alright thats all for my rambling for now

Cycle of hurt no one asked for:
(It gets better at the end I promise)
Steve likes Eddie and only talks to Robin about it.
Robin likes Nancy but Nancy is always hanging out with Eddie ever since her and Johnathan officially split.
Eddie likes Steve but thinks Steve is straight, he thinks/knows Robin is queer too but she's Steve's best friend so he feels like he can't talk to her.
Nancy notices that something is weighing on Eddie and patiently needles him into opening up to her until he admits he has feelings for Steve.
Nancy wants to tell him to go to Steve but she's not sure if her desire to push Steve and Eddie together is optimistic or selfish because while she knows she wants to see Steve happy she's not sure if that's because she still cares about him or because she still feels guilty over breaking his heart. And another deeper part of her wonders if she's hoping Steve is queer because she wants Eddie to have a shot, she does want good things for Eddie even if they haven't been friends for long, or if she's hoping that if Steve is queer and he and Robin are so close than maybe that means Robin could be queer too? and maybe that would mean Nancy had a shot with Robin? But even if they are both queer that doesn't mean that they aren't involved with each other, in which case would Nancy just be using Eddie to try and force a wedge between Steve and Robin? That wouldn't be fair to Eddie. In the end Nancy usually just ends up sitting with Eddie's head in her lap slowly stroking his hair while he sobs.
Robin is pretty sure Eddie is gay, and she wants to tell Steve but it's not her place to spread secrets that aren't hers and she doesn't actually know it for a fact so if she told Steve and it turned out she was wrong than she would blame herself for his disappointment after the fact. She wants to be optimistic and tell Steve to go after what he wants, but she also feels guilty because she likes Nancy (her best friends ex girlfriend for goodness sake!) and she's afraid that she might just be trying to get Steve to go after somebody else for fear of Nancy deciding that she wants him back now that they're both available.
Eddie feels awful for breaking and admitting his feelings for Steve to Nancy because she's the last person who should have to hear about how desirable Steve Harrington is, especially after they tried to start things up again and it (as far as he can tell) made her dump her boyfriend from Cali just for circumstances to ruin her and Steve's chance at being happy together for the second time around. But with Robin out of the question there's few to no people he can talk to about his crush on the seemingly straightest guy in Hawkins, and he needs some means of venting his feelings because every time he sees Steve gently chastise one of their kids (who have taken to referring to Steve and him as 'mom and dad') only to ruffle their hair with a smile before turning to lean against Robin like they've been married for ten years, Eddie feels like all of the oxygen is being sucked out of his lungs.
Steve thinks that Eddie and Nancy are dating now and that kinda makes sense, Jonathan had kind of a loner-who-only-wears-dark-clothes thing going too, so maybe Nancy has a type. A type that is distinctly not-steve in its characterization, but whatever. He had reached out for and clung onto Nancy during this most recent bout with the upside down and for a minute they both thought they might get back together, only for them both to realize as the adrenaline wore off that neither of them really wanted it. It was familiar and comforting in a difficult time and that time was past. Steve had wondered if Nancy and Johnathan would have broken up at all if he hadn't made any advances on Nancy. She insisted that the writing had been on the wall for them for a while by then but Steve still felt guilty that his actions might have been the final nail in that coffin. And now here he was crushing on Nancy's new boyfriend, or at least a guy she seemed to like, as if he weren't already personally responsible for her last 2-2 1/2 failed relationships (if he counts himself twice). So he keeps his feelings to himself even throughout Robins gentle insinuations that 'if Steve is Bi then why can't Eddie be?' Because he can't get near another relationship of Nancy's under any circumstances. Even if watching Eddie fight for his life in the hospital had made Steve feel like he would die if Eddie didn't make it.
The truth is Nancy and Steve really did reach the mutual conclusion that they weren't right for each other and that Nancy broke it off with Johnathan both because long distance was killing them and because she realized she was ready to be single and by herself for awhile. She didn't realize until later that the fact that she couldn't get the image of Robin throwing molotov cocktails out of her head was something more than a 'girl-crush'.
Robin eventually decides to find out for herself if Eddie is gay in the only way she can think of that won't either out Steve or just put Eddie on the defensive. She walks up to Eddie and informs him that 'she is a lesbian and she hopes he's okay with that because it looks like he's going to be a member of the Party for a long time.'
Eddie is torn between being elated that the only other gay person in Hawkins is opening up to him and guilt that he wants to cling to her and spill all his secrets, because she's Steve's confidant and not his. But, one grand gesture of trust demands another, so Eddie reciprocates and tells Robin he's gay.
Robin nearly collapsed in on herself with the relief of it. She tries to tell herself it's because this means she's not the only person like her in the whole town (even though she already knows Steve is bi) but she can't deny that Steve's insistence that Eddie and Nancy were an item had been getting into her head and it was nice to hear that wasn't the case.
"So, you and Nancy, that's not romantic? Or are you bisexual?"
"Oh, nonono, Wheeler's a good listener and all, but I don't go for chicks"
"Oh, okay, that's cool"
Eddie lifts a brow at the way Robin stares at the ground while she says it.
"What about you and Harrington?"
"Oh God NO, I love Steve but, he's like my brother."
"Oh okay, good"
"Good?"
"Um, yeah, I mean, you deserve a good support system. It's good to hear you two are so close"
"Right." Robin looks unconvinced
"Strange to think though, Steve Harrington being such close friends with a member of the opposite sex, tell me why does he think it is that you're immune to his charms?"
"You think Steve is charming?"
Eddie turns and starts to walk away without another word and Robin has to chase him down to continue the conversation
"Kidding jeez, Steve knows. He was actually the first person that I told"
"Wow, bold move Buckley. Wouldn't have been my first choice straight out of the gate, but glad to hear it worked out"
"Yeah, he's actually really cool, if you ever wanted to talk to him about it"
"Why would I want to do that, between you and Nance I think I'm set"
Robin's eyes widen
"So, Nancy knows? About you?"
"Oh, Nancy knows everything, that poor woman is thoroughly versed in every thought that passes through my head, she's basically my conscience and at least 45% of my self control"
Robin laughed and so did Eddie, then in a movement that neither is certain who initiated or why, the they end up hugging each other tightly for at least a minute and possibly several.
They're both sniffling and swiping at their eyes when they finally break apart. They awkwardly look at the ground and play with their rings and oversized sleeves respectively until one of them finally breaks the silence
"So, he was really cool with it? Just like that?"
Eddie tries to keep his tone even.
"He was, I really think you should talk to him, I mean, it couldn't hurt to have one more friend in your corner right?"
"I guess not. Though in that case you should probably talk to Wheeler too"
"Yeah, I guess I should"
Eddie confides in Steve nearly a week later, after literally holding Robins hand as she confessed to Nancy and after the two of them spent several days talking Eddie down from the various worst case scenarios that he threw out each time they suggested that he and the other man should talk. Eddie comes to the video store on a day when Robin is working so she can provide moral support/stare him down if he starts to chicken out. His concerns turn out to have been unwarranted when Steve's eyes go wide and he almost immediately fires back with the fact that he's bisexual.
Steve asks Eddie on a date less than a week later.
Nancy's sexuality crisis is short lived and prosessed in enough time that she asks Robin out on nearly the same day.

just realized. the wheeler’s fake love? Has “killed” characters before max.
Karen and B*lly — it wasn’t true love for him or anything, she was in a loveless marriage and was looking for someone to show her love. when she bailed on him after she realized how she would be hurting her own family, thats what led to him being possessed in s3.
Nancy and Barb — this could be argued bc im not really into the older generation with nance, steve, and johnathan that spans the season. Maybe nancy did really love steve! Idk! But i think its worthy to not that her LYING about being her true self to be more accepted by steve and his friends is what ended with Barb’s death.
mike and max — we all know this one. he lied about the nature of his love for el as an act of desperation to keep her alive. It wasn’t a selfish thing here, but it still ended with max in the clutches of vecna.
I think it would have been even crazier if all three victims were related—but that would be a bit on the nose i think. Barb has red hair like max however so i still call it a parallel

Let's talk about Vengeful. Most of the book is dedicated to:
-Marcella, her character, her revenge, her taking over the city, how she's gonna change the way EOs are seen.
-Eli, his tragic back story, honestly idgaf about him.
-Victor trying to stop his pain
-Sydney trying to bring back Serena
-June is there
-Mitch is there
-Dom is there
-Johnathan is there.
The people the book was mostly about, Marcella and Eli, die. Honestly love the way Eli went but Marcella's death was so anti climatic and pathetic, especially since she took up so much of the book. She was an interesting character, but her "kill a man in perfect make up and six inch high heels" shit was annoying yet Schwab presents her as the pinnacle of feminism.
Sydney's whole arc about being strong enough to bring back her sister goes nowhere. She thinks about bringing her back, but doesn't. She thinks about running away with June, she doesn't. The whole Serena plot line really pissed me off (forever a Serena Clarke stan she had a good heart how can you like Eli and not Serena fuck you.) Like okay, I get it. Serena was broken after the lake and even though she saved her sister (and tried to spare/save her later), she still abandoned her and wasn't there for her. The whole point is that even though Serena was a great sister all those years and loved Syd, Serena wasn't there for her so Sydney feels like she shouldn't bring her back. Unlike Victor who she brought back, who was always- wait what?
That brings us to Victor, he acts like an asshole the whole book. The bit we got in the beginning with him interacting with Syd and Mitch was my favorite part, but I just don't get why Sydney and Mitch stay with him. Okay, I get why they stay, they have nowhere else to go, but why do they take his shit? Especially Mitch. He kills good people for 5 years. Sydney, Mitch, and Dom relentlessly help him find a cure. Syd blames herself even though she's the only reason he's alive. Mitch's hacking is what keeps them afloat. Dom is the only reason Victor is safe from Eon, he gets killed. Then Victor finally gets what he wants, a cure. Plus not only did Sydney save his life again, she killed his mortal enemy, Eli. So after all that, now that he has everything he wants, he ABANDONS Mitch and Sydney. And it doesn't even seem like they're that mad about it.
June was interesting but we found out 0 about her. How did she die? Why did she want revenge? What got her here? What are her motivations? Why is this grown woman obsessed with Syd? She exists as Marcella's henchwoman and then is just a plot device so Victor attacks Marcella and not Eli. (The way her and Marcella fell out was contrived)
Johnathan was just there. Why the hell would he team up with Marcella? He had no motivation, he's probably happy he died.
TLDR: Vengeful really can't stand on its own for me and doesn't live up to the masterpiece that is Vicious. Instead of the woven timeline feeling poetic, like in Vicious, it feels contrived. And too much time is spent on characters idgaf about, or who don't matter.
