ClichĂŠs bothered me. There was no other way to put it. Iâd grown up hating the likes of love triangles, meet-cutes, chosen ones, and right now, I was being reminded more than ever of that hatred because, what the fuck?Â
âToo much of a good thingâ was the reasoning Spencer had cited when he proposed we stop sleeping together casually, and return to our previous relationship of âjust coworkersâ. Iâd let him know how ridiculous I found his sentiment, and attempted every possible method to continue our secret rendezvous, but he was absolutely dead-set on his decision, it seemed.
 No more sex. No more late-night calls. None of it. It was all over. All because of a cliche.Â
We seemed to agree on one thing, and that was, yes. The sex was fantastic. It really was that good. While Iâd never wish weariness on Spencer Reid, I couldnât deny that in the aftermath of stress and frustration from whatever life had chosen for him, the way heâd deal with that was absolutely electrifying for me.
Iâd find myself constantly breathless, pulled into hotel rooms, storage closets- anything resembling the barest hint of privacy, and allow him to use me as he saw fit. I gave him complete trust and control over my body, and in turn, he rewarded me with some incredibly life-changing orgasms. And for what itâs worth, he seemed to get an equal amount of satisfaction out of our hidden trysts, which only made his recent decision that more devastating. Â
Itâd been roughly a month since weâd had sex, or anything resembling the sort, and I found myself absolutely deprived. When the FBI gave out invitations to its semi-annual gala, I imagined the festivities would be enough to distract me, but I was completely in error for assuming so. Amidst drinks and conversations, there was the occasional lull where I couldnât help but absentmindedly imagine the feel of his hands over my skin, squeezing the fat of my hips. His lips trailing up and down my neck, focusing on spots only he knew about. The way his hair would tickle against my thighs when heâd bury his head-
âHey.âÂ
The voice breaks me out of my thoughts, and I have to remind myself not to choke on my beverage. There he was. The current subject of my thoughts, standing in front of me, live and in the flesh. Spencer Reid.Â
âHey.â I mirror back, taking a sip of my drink, acting as lax as I could, given the circumstances. âEnjoying yourself?â I ask, gesturing to the party in front of us, the general ambience.Â
âYou know me.â He replies, pausing for a second, keeping his gaze trained on mine. âNot my scene but.. doable.âÂ
I chuckle for a moment, understanding perfectly. Spencer wasnât exactly the most social guy out there. I was honestly surprised heâd chosen to come to this thing at all in the first place.Â
âYou look nice.â He says, suddenly. âYour dress. Itâs nice.â He rushes out the words, as if heâs scared to say them in the first place.Â
I smooth down the fabric instinctively, nodding. I try not to let the compliment affect me so much, keeping my head down for a split second to hide the creeping heat emanating from my cheeks.Â
 âThank you. I appreciate it.âÂ
I surprise myself with my own answer. The silence for that tick is horrible. I appreciate it? Jesus. I couldnât think of the right words anymore. The correct and witty response that would allow this conversation to flow smoothly.Â
 I truly wanted to fuck this man so bad, it made me look stupid.Â
And stupid I was, because yet again, I attempted to test the current parameters of our relationship heâd put us on. I swallow my pride, lifting my head to meet his eyes with mine.Â
âIf you like it so much, you could- you know. Take it off.â I say, biting my lip. Thereâs a light tease in my voice, but itâs obvious Iâm being as forthcoming as I possibly could. No games. No jokes. I didnât want to dance around it, and I hoped my boldness would reward me as it did previously in the past.Â
But no, it seems that fortune does not favor the bold, because Spencerâs immediate response was to shake his head, lowering his voice. He pulled on my arm to decrease our proximity, to the point where it was ensured no passer-bys could possibly hear our conversation.Â
âCome on.â He pleads, almost looking desperate. âI told you we should stop- hasnât that worked out? We can be coworkers. This works.â
I roll my eyes, letting my displeasure show plainly over my face. âThis works?â I say, and the sarcasm is clear in my voice. âSex worked too, you know.âÂ
âI know it did!â He says, in a hushed whisper. âBut- we canât. No. Itâs not right. Too much of a-âÂ
âIf you finish that sentence, I swear to god.â I say, my expression turning much more volatile. I forcibly shrug his arm off me. âThis is stupid.â I continue, trying not to let my voice rise. âI see the way you look at me. I know it was good for both of us. I know youâre thinking about it just as much as I am, so why not!â Thereâs a hint of hurt in my voice as well. Underneath all the sex, Iâd grown to miss the interactions after. The giggles under covers and the feel of his hair in my fingers. I missed him. All of him.Â
Thereâs a miserable pause on his end, and I hold my breath waiting for his next words. Spencer sputters, looking absolutely defeated. âBecause- because we just canât, okay?â He replies, helplessly, stepping back from me, as Iâd done with him. âLook. Iâm just going to enjoy the rest of the party, okay? Take care of yourself, yeah?âÂ
Before I can get in another word, demanding a real explanation from the man, he leaves me alone, replaying the words of his confusing outburst in my mind.Â
I take a short time to myself, electing to go use the restroom and take a breather from the party, a bit on edge after our exchange. Was it possible he was completely fine with what the loss of our arrangement had done to us? Was I the only one absolutely losing my mind? Any attempt to diverge my attention from the topic proved futile, and I remained in the closed room, mindlessly adjusting myself in the mirror with no real rhyme or reason. Thereâs an eventual use of my phone, focusing the camera directly on my face to make sure nothing had smudged or looked off on my face in the time Iâd last checked my makeup. In the use of the device, I remembered the pictures Iâd taken before coming here.Â
The pictures werenât meant to serve any true purpose. Iâd bought new lingerie for this dress, as my previous bras werenât suited to the cut and shape of the specific piece of clothing, and decided to take a few pictures for myself. It was lacy, and pretty, but nothing truly special. The bra had a slight push-up effect, and the panties were a bit cheekier than my normal, day-to-day undergarments. The actual lingerie was innocent- harmless, even. Looking at the images right now, though, a salacious idea creeped into my head.Â
Under the right circumstances, these could be exactly the catalyst to finally receiving what I wanted.Â
I open the messaging app on my phone, finding Spencerâs contact, and beginning to type out a simple message.Â
hey.Â
The response is immediate.Â
Whatâs up?Â
You good?Â
Whereâd you go?Â
I laugh a little. I imagined him scanning the crowd for me, trying to figure out where Iâd gone off to.Â
all good, donât worry
so weâre still sticking to the no sex thing?Â
I see his typing bubble pop up, then pause. Then starts up again.Â
Yes.Â
Trust me, itâs for the better.Â
I groan internally. Of course he thinks that. Always thinks he knows whatâs good for everyone.Â
trust meÂ
if you knew what i had planned for us
you wouldnât say that
I feel my phone vibrate in my hand, indicating he was now calling me? I hadnât planned for this.Â
âSpencer?â I remark, waiting for his voice on the line.Â
âWhat do you mean?â He says, quickly. I can no longer hear the bustle of the party in the background, so itâs only reasonable to assume heâs moved somewhere quieter. Still, I ask.Â
âAre you around other people?â I murmur, keeping my voice low.Â
âNo. Alone. What did you mean by your last message?â He repeats, quickly.Â
Thereâs my in. I respond, feigning an unmistakable innocence in my voice. âMind if I show you?âÂ
âShow me?â The confusion in his voice is palpable.Â
âShow you.â I reply, more definitively. âCheck your messages.âÂ
I bring my phone away from my ear, electing to send the first picture I saw in my camera roll, which prominently featured my breasts- a feature of mine I knew Spencer was quite interested in. I return to the call, my heart pounding wildly.Â
âDid you see?â I ask, hesitantly, when all I can hear is his breathing on the other line.Â
The response is a choked out, breathy mess of a sentence. âYeah- I did. Jesus.âÂ
âWant more?â I murmur, biting my lip as the realization dawned on me that this possibly had a chance of working.Â
Thereâs a delay in his words on the line, before I finally hear:
âYes. God, yes.âÂ
I grin ear-to-ear, beginning to send an assortment of pictures Iâd taken previously in the day. Knowing this was having an effect on him, that somewhere in this party Spencer was sitting alone, his gaze trained on his phone intently, did something to me. He was behaving this way because of my body, because of what I could do to him.Â
It was hard not to get wet at the thought.Â
âYou look so good.â He breathes out, and the desire in his voice is unmistakable.Â
âYeah?â I mumble to the speaker. âYou think so?âÂ
âMhm.â He murmurs. âYouâre wearing this right now?â He asks, seemingly needing that confirmation at this moment. Â
âIn all its glory.â I try not to giggle before murmuring teasingly, âWhat, you wanna see?âÂ
âWhere are you?â He asks, suddenly seeming very determined. I can hear the shuffling on the other line, indicating he was now starting to move from where he was currently situated. He was completely, and utterly serious about this.Â
âBathroom, on the left corridor of the entrance.â I say, feeling exhilarated at the thought of him meeting me here. This was happening.Â
Finally.Â
âStay.â He replies, and the call cuts.Â
Thereâs an impatient itch that creeps up on me during the two-minute wait for him, before I hear a solid knock on the door, and my name being whispered through the door, belonging to a voice Iâd grown so accustomed to and fond of.Â
My fingers undo the lock, opening it just enough so that he could squeeze through without drawing too much attention to ourselves right now.Â
And as soon as heâs managed in, heâs practically on me, devouring me with a kiss with a passion Iâd never felt from him before. My hands go to wrap around his neck, pressing our bodies flush against each other, every ragged breath of his shooting directly to my core, which was now throbbing with need.Â
âFuck. Missed this so much.â He breathes out, gasping for air in between our kisses. I couldnât so much as get a whimper out, before heâd dive right in again. Itâs like he wanted to eat me alive.Â
And Iâd let him.Â
I moan softly into his mouth, starved for more contact between us. Itâs as if he can read my mind, because in an instant, he guides us from the center of the bathroom, towards a wall, slotting his thigh between my legs. He takes a momentary break from ravishing me with his lips, now adopting a slower, more sensual pace as he works down my neck, each soft kiss leaving me craving him even more. Â
His hands drift down to my hips, keeping me pinned against the wall as he murmured soft praises. My legs felt wobbly, absolutely taken aback by how quickly I could go weak for this man.Â
âYou like this, mm?â He mumbles, letting his teeth nip over the lobe of my ear, before switching to a more neglected side of my neck. âLike me that much, mm?âÂ
I donât care about the cockiness in his tone. I donât care how smug I render him. I just need him to continue this, for as long as I can have him.Â
âYes.â I breathe out, my voice higher-pitched than it normally would be. âGod. Love this so much.âÂ
Thereâs a flash of hesitance from him, as he pulls his face away from my neck, staring at my eyes with his own. I canât dwell on the pause, because for once, Iâm finally seeing him. His hair was absolutely ruined, sticking up wildly in different directions. His cheeks were a light pink, serving to make his features even prettier and doe-like than before. But what got me were his eyes. His pupils were blown out, the normal honey-hazel Iâd seen on a daily basis replaced with an absolute abyss of black. The darkness served to cause a surge within me, practically launching forward to meet his lips with mine.Â
There are no words required for what happens next, as I feel his hand creep up my back, pulling me away from the wall and towards the closest surface, which happened to be the sink. He guides me to bend over, and I do so with no resistance.
 He could have me, whichever way he wanted, whenever he wanted. All I needed was his touch.Â
I can feel him crouch to his knees, slowly reaching under my dress to hook his fingers around my panties, slowly pulling them down. I can feel a string of my arousal clinging to the fabric, and it seems Spencer can too, because he practically moans as he drags the soiled piece of lingerie down my thighs. I step out of them quickly, and turn my head back, fast enough to see him stuff the proof of our debauchery down his suit pocket.Â
âEyes ahead.â He whispers, leaning down close to my ear to nip at the sensitive flesh again.Â
âOkay.â I murmur, slipping into a more submissive version of myself that he seemed to bring out in me. Thereâs a sense of relaxation and excitement all at the same time, and Iâm absolutely wracked with lust for him.Â
His fingers stroke my clit for a moment, applying pressure in just the right way. The movements are practiced, precise and guaranteed to hurl me off the edge if he continues this way.Â
âYouâre soaked, sweetheart.â He murmurs, almost amazed, letting his fingers slip away. âAll this for me?âÂ
I can barely respond, whimpering and nodding. âYes. Please- Spencer.â I beg, needily.Â
âI know, I know.â He replies, and I can hear how pleased he is. Thereâs a certain delight he derives from my submission, and while in any other circumstance, the smugness he displays would turn me off, right now it only served to further my hunger.Â
I can feel him start to work on his belt, sliding the coarse material of his dress pants just enough, so that his cock could spring free. I canât see it, but I can feel it, his tip sliding through my folds, and I clench at the thought of him finally being inside of me.Â
Just when I believed his teasing to be done, thereâs a knock at the door, and we both freeze. Spencer swallows, and quickly raises his voice. âOccupied!âÂ
Thereâs silence, and that previous sense of lust and content drifts back into our bodies, Spencerâs fingers trace up to my face, and he lets his finger slip into my mouth. I can taste my arousal on his fingers, and thereâs a genuine struggle on my end to stay upright. How could I, when the man behind me rendered me so indisposed?Â
He draws his fingers out of my mouth. âGood girl.â He whispers.
It seems the universe has other plans though, because yet again- a knock sounds at the door. I can hear Spencerâs groan, and watch through the mirror as he attempts to come up with a response that would give us the seclusion we required.Â
My patience however, had worn thin. His cock was right there, and Iâd be damned if I was forced to wait any longer. I turn my head towards the door, complacency and submission gone from my voice.Â
âDo you mind? Iâm trying to fuck him in here!â I say, snarking out the words.Â
Thereâs a silence, and a murmur of mortification on the other side of the door. Footsteps. And then at last, silence.Â
Spencer quickly leans down to kiss my cheek, mumbling out an âI love you.âÂ
Before I can even comprehend the words, heâs guiding himself into me, sliding his cock through my walls, and I have to bite my lip to keep a scream in. He feels so fucking good inside of me, stretching me out in ways no man ever could. I can feel the underside of his cock hitting that spongy spot deep inside of me, and my breathing turns rapid in mere seconds.Â
âThere we go, relax for me baby, yeah?â He mumbles. âNice and slow.âÂ
I moan out my affirmative, gripping onto the sink as I let my jaw drop, eyes squeezing in absolute ecstasy.
âSo good for me.â He murmurs. âSo warm and wet, Jesus.âÂ
And with that, he starts a pace that works for both of us. Itâs hard and fast, but I wouldnât have it any other way. The feel of his cock gliding through my puffy walls is intoxicating, and I can only wonder how I went so long without feeling it.Â
It seems Spencerâs having similar thoughts, because through my moans and his occasional groans, I can feel his grip on my hips get more bruising by the second, marking me as his own. I can hear occasional fragments of words through his noises.Â
âNever letting you go. Oh fuck. Fuck.â He mumbles, and despite the overwhelming amount of arousal shooting through me, my heart swells.Â
âMe too.â I whimper out, gripping the sink even harder. I can feel my wetness seeping all around us, splashing against my thighs with every movement he drives into me. âNeed you so badly.âÂ
âRub your clit for me.â He demands, whispering out the words. âNeed to see you come on my cock first, pretty girl.â The words are strained, and I can tell heâs doing everything to keep from spilling inside of me prematurely.Â
Thereâs no reason to temporize, and my fingers make their way down to the sensitive bundle of nerves, and the effect is almost immediate. It takes roughly a minute of my incessant rubbing and the feel of him inside me before Iâm coming with a soft shout, growing limp against the sink as my muscles twitch and fill me with a deep sense of relief and satisfaction.Â
Spencer isnât far behind me, humping into me a few more times before coming inside of me, the release signified with a loud moan and a sense of warmth flooding my deepest point. He slumps against my back, pressing a few, soft kisses to my neck.Â
As we both come down from our highs, I recall the words Spencer mumbled in my ear previously. I let out a self-satisfied giggle, which Spencer smiles at.Â
âMm. Whatâs that about?â He murmurs.Â
âYou love me?â I ask, softly.Â
A pause.Â
âA little.â He responds, voice equally as soft.Â
âIs that why you stopped having sex with me?â I mumble out, gently.Â
He presses another kiss to the nape of my neck. âMhm. Please donât be mad.âÂ
I let out a soft chuckle. âNot mad. The opposite, really.âÂ
He pulls me up, causing us both to look at each other. âYou feel the same way?âÂ
I nod, biting my lip. âWe could try this out, I think. I want to, Spencer.âÂ
I stop, and decide I do need to tease him a bit, especially after the sex-less agony he put me through for a month.Â
âThough, I do recall someone telling me too much of a good thing can go bad..âÂ
His lips part in confusion, before he picks up the teasing nature of my words and leans in for a soft, simple kiss. He keeps his forehead on mind, his eyes staring into mine with a gentle reverence.Â
âLetâs indulge just this once.âÂ

hi! can you do something with aaron and like a younger next-door neighbour and they're kinda secretly and newly dating and something with Jack goes wrong and reader helps fix it so aaron is just so in love and asks if he can tell jack and it's just super fluffy and cute!
Anyway, thank you so much, i love your writing!!!!
i love this idea so much!
--------------------------------
telling him- a.hotchner
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
a/n: i got nothin.
summary: jack can't go to school, so you swoop in and become aaron's hero, he asks two pretty important questions.
pairing: aaron hotchner x reader
warnings: none
--------------------------------
Aaron didnât know what to do with himself. Heâd left the BAU. Jack was 11. He had a pre-teen who heâd just moved across the country and changed his entire life.Â
What the fuck were they doing in San Francisco?
Aaron was a lecturer now, on law in Stanford. Jack attended a new school, much to his dismay.Â
And then there was you. The gorgeous woman who lived next door to them. You were a lecturer as well, nuclear physics but you were often mistaken for a student, considering you were only 25. Youâd been very kind to him since he started work there, and even had had them over for dinner a couple of times.Â
--------------------------------
âI donât wanna go!â Jack exclaimed, arms crossed.Â
âJack, I have work in 45 minutes, my students are taking the bar exam, and you know your babysitter is out of town, you have to go to school,â he sighed, feeling helpless. Doing this alone had been the hardest part. He had to leave the family he had, the entire team, and his life behind.
âBut theyâre mean!â he sobbed into his dadâs chest. âThey make fun of me for not having a momâŚâÂ
Aaronâs heart broke. He didnât want to send his kid into school if he was being bullied, and he made a mental note to speak to his teachers.Â
âHey guys,â your kind voice filled the house from downstairs. Aaron had given you a key just a few weeks ago. âReady to go?âÂ
Aaron looked at the time on his watch, it was exactly when you all carpooled to school, then work.Â
âUp here!â Jack shouted down to you as he cried into his dadâs shoulder, ruining his suit. Aaron could hear your footsteps up the stairs and he braced himself for any judgy looks.Â
Judgy looks which never came.
âPoor Jack,â you sighed, rubbing his head. âWhatâs going on?â
âThe kids at school laugh at me because I don't have a mommy anymore,â he cried, getting up and giving you a hug. You sent Aaron an empathetic look and hugged Jack back.Â
âThat is awful Jack, how about this. You come to work with me and your dad, my lectures donât start âtill later so you can hang out with me and I know someone who works at your school, so if you tell me your teacherâs name I can get the lesson plan for today and we can work through it in my office, does that sound good?âÂ
Jack nodded his head furiously and hugged you harder, his tears subsiding.Â
Aaronâs heart couldâve exploded. You were so kind. You two had only been on a few dates in recent weeks, you hadnât told Jack yet, but you were so caring.Â
He mouthed a âthank youâ in your direction and you shrugged. âItâs the least I can doâ.Â
Aaron ran into his room, pulling on a new suit jacket to replace the one soiled by Jackâs tears, grabbed his briefcase, and followed you out to the car. Youâd called your friend at his school and gotten the information so Jack had his school books in his bag. You drove them to the Stanford campus, explained to your supervisor who told you it was alright, and departed for the day, Jackâs hand in yours. Aaron walked over to his building, and you stayed in yours, sending him updates throughout the day. You made the majority of your lectures for the day either study lectures, or just cancelled lectures so you could keep a close eye on Jack. You even allowed three of your most responsible students to teach Jack some maths.Â
At the end of the day, Jack fell asleep on the couch in your office while you were busy cleaning up your lecture hall.Â
âHi honey,â Aaron smiled from the door.Â
âHi love,â you smiled back. âHow was your day? Did anyone faint in the exam hall?â
He crossed over to you in three quick strides and pulled you into his arms, kissing you deeply. You were so kind, youâd taken care of Jack all day for him, youâd made him feel less alone in the most isolating time of his life, and you were his. Well, maybe, he hadnât exactly asked yet. âNo one fainted, but a few did vomit before coming in.â
âPoor them,â you sighed. âJack was fine all day, no issues.â
âHave I told you how wonderful you are?â He smiled and you chuckled.Â
âA few times, sure,â you teased. âBut I donât mind hearing it again.â
Aaron smiled and moved one of his hands to cup your cheek. âYouâre wonderful.â
You smiled back at him, pecking his cheek. âWell, good thing we have a date on Friday.â
âI want to tell Jack,â He admitted. âAbout us.â
You nodded. âYouâre sure? Itâs only been a couple of weeks.â
âIâm sure. He loves you anyways, whatâs the worst that can happen?â He asked, pressing kisses to your neck as he spoke.Â
âUmm- He could hate both of us because he feels like weâre replacing your and Haleyâs relationship, he could start to resent you if we break up, he could hate me, the list goes on-â
âDonât let it,â he smiled. âI have spent my whole life making calculated and deliberate decisions, even if I knew those choices wouldnât make me happy. I want to be happy now, with you and Jack,â he admitted. In recent months youâd taught him the value of being slightly selfish, despite his altruistic tendencies.Â
âAlright, whatever you say love,â you smiled and kissed him again, then went back to your desk to gather your things.Â
âI also want to ask you something,â he stated and when you turned around you saw a bouquet of your favourite flowers in his hands. âWill you be my girlfriend?â
You chuckled softly and smiled, the sweetness of the moment warming your heart. âYes, Aaron, I will be your girlfriend.â
He grinned when you accepted and his hands wrapped around your waist as he pressed your lips against his in celebration.Â
He was happy, truly happy. For the first time in a long time.Â
And it was all thanks to you.

where you belong [1/10]
Summary: As Luffy's big sister, you've viewed it to be your job to see him become King of the Pirates in place of your absent parents, even as you try to find where it is you belong in the world. You never really expected to draw the attention of Trafalgar Law in the process.
Pairing: Trafalgar Law x Fem!reader
Warnings: Discussion of feelings of abandonment, age gap relationship (four years), brief secret relationship, mentions and heavy refences to sex, mentions of alcohol, typical One Piece stuff. Other warnings to be added if needed.
Notes: Hi, it's me again! Another fanfic here for you all! When this goes up, I'll be on my last day of vacation before I fly home, so I hope that you'll enjoy this! I know Straw Hat Reader x Law is popular, and I wanted to write my own, but with the Reader being Luffy's biological older sister. So for this, Reader is three years older than Luffy, 20 at the start and 22 after the timeskip, making Law four years older. I personally like older men, and age gap fics are just delicious reading material for me (within reason, nothing illegal).
Note 2: This is NOT the Law with vitiligo series. That one is actively being planned but will be separate from this one.
âAnd Iâm gonna be King of the Pirates!!â
Luffy standing your tiny dingy boat worries you a little, but you still grin at him and nod.
âHell yeah you will be!â
âYour turn! Whatâre you gonna do while we sail??â
Rolling your eyes, you make Luffy sit down while you stand up.
âEasy. Iâm gonna chronicle your journey and write the greatest story ever told!â
Your younger brother watches you, tilting his head when you donât continue. He believes there has to be more you want out of life, and tries to make you say what else is in your plans, what you have on your mind.
âAnd?â
Taking a breath, you nod. Of course he knew you had more, itâs Luffy, heâs been by your since he was just a few weeks old. Things youâve said over time, to him and Ace, theyâd both known for a long time what youâve always wanted to find once you went out to sea.
âAnd find where it is I belong.â
+!+
Your arrival in Sabaody was a trip, in more than one way. You'd been excited to explore the place, hoping you could pawn your younger brother off on Camie, Pappag, and the others so you could have some time on your own to shop the stalls, maybe with Nami and Robin, turn it into a girlâs day. Of course, though, nothing could be so easy when your brother is the captain of the Straw Hats. You all find yourselves at the human auction hall, Nami willing to spend all the money possible to save Camie, but it makes you itchy while being there. You cringe to think about the things that happened in this place, how many people had been sold to Celestial Dragons. Your and Luffy's loss of Sabo due to the actions of one had severely soured your opinions on them.
You scan the crowd in the auction house, scratching at your arms which never seem to calm down while the rest of your crew discusses their plan to save Camie, and you end up locking eyes with another pirate captain there, unknown to you at that moment but somehow familiar.
A furry white, spotted hat, dark hair you can barely see, oddly enough you think his facial hair is attractive, and those yellow eyes that you almost would believe see right through you.
Trafalgar Law simply stares at you, realizing youâre a Straw Hat when he recognizes the rest of your crewmates. After a moment of fidgeting slightly you give him a nervous smile and a wave, which he returns with a nod before turning back to the auction stage as they continue to call bids on people.
Weird girl.
Strange guy.
Although sheâs busy watching for Camie to be brought out, Nami still leans into you when you pull on her sleeve and start to whisper. âYou see that guy in the white spotted hat?â
âWhat about him?â
âI think heâs Trafalgar Law, captain of the Heart Pirates. Heâs more attractive than his poster makes him.â
Rolling her eyes, Nami pulls her arm away from you. âI donât have time for you to be horny about some guy.â
âWhaâNami!! Iâm not! Iâm just saying.â
She doesnât listen to you anymore, focusing back on waiting for Camie and sending you to watch for Luffy, just so you donât get distracted by the attractive enemy captain and defect to another crew.
You swear you never will, but do as youâre told to watch for your brother. Maybe one day youâll get to properly meet Law, youâre quite curious about the young man.
+!+
âAnother one?! Are you kidding me, Dragon?!â
Youâre three years old when you wake up to your grandfather yelling at someone in the middle of the night. Normally Garp is sure to keep things quiet so you, his sweet little princess angel granddaughter, can sleep peacefully. Heâd leave early in the morning once your nanny showed up for the day, returning before dinner so he had the evenings with you before you had to be off to bed, to do the day over again the next morning. Itâs rare for you to stay up late or wake up early, but the few mornings youâve woken up before he left were some of Garpâs favorites.
You quietly slip out of your bed, blanket in your hand as you rub your eyes and go to the door, opening it just enough to see whatâs happening. Garp is there with someone in a green cloak, you canât see the other personâs face, but listen anyway.
âHeâs the last one, there wonât be anymore.â
âYou said [Y/N] was going to be the only one!â
âThings happened.â
âObviously something happened, babies donât appear out of thin air!â
You tilt your head, the man in the cloak catching your eye, which makes you shy away behind your doorway, glancing away before back to him as he looks to Garp again.
âTake care of them.â He goes to leave and is gone before Garp can even stop him.
âDragon, wait--! ThatâŚdamn idiot.â
âGrandpa?â
Garp is surprised to hear your voice, turning around once he closes the door, giving you a smile while you start to focus on the bundle he's holding.
âHey there, princess, what are you doing up?â
âI heard yellingâŚâ
Nodding, Garp apologizes as he picks you up, letting you settle on his free arm. âSorry about that, angel. Just⌠an unexpected visitor.â
âOhâŚâ
Garp sees you staring more at the bundle of blankets in his arm than at him, and he sighs a bit, taking you to the living room and setting you on the couch, before showing you how to position your arms as he sets the now squirming bundle in your arms.
â[Y/N], this is your baby brother. His name is Luffy.â
How unexpected! Youâve never thought about having a sibling, just enjoying your childhood and life with your grandpa, but seeing this tiny little boy in your just as small arms makes you grin while you look at him. Dark black hair and just as dark eyes, scrunched up little face and tiny hands in fists while he starts to fuss and whine.
âLuffyâŚâ
+!+
LuffyâŚ
You hope your prayers arenât going unheard, that Luffy will return to you safely. Aceâs death has long passed, but youâre more worried about your little brother than anything else right now. Youâd both been sent off to Amazon Lily by Kuma, but after theyâd all agreed to let you both stay, and Boa Hancock seems to have fallen in love with him, Luffy left you there to go rescue Ace, that was nearly three weeks ago now, you think. You want him back, both of them, but want to see Luffy more than anyone else.
âLuffyâs returned, [Y/N]-san!â
âHe has?!â
Marguerite nods and you quickly get up from your seat and run after her to wherever Luffy is. The newspapers kept implying he was dead, you were terrified youâd lost him and Ace that day, no updates from anyone apart from the papers cheering for the Navyâs alleged victory, for the deaths of Ace and Whitebeard. The Amazons, all so kind to let you stay while Luffy went to try and rescue Ace, were unsure of how to help you the last two weeks once Aceâs vivre card burned to nothing in your hands and made you nearly inconsolable.
Despite that, your prayers hadnât gone unheard.
Once youâre at the beach that Luffy should be at, you notice immediately the big yellow submarine with the word DEATH on it and it freaks you out more than anything. You donât know who owns it, but when you catch sight of someone youâve only seen in person once, you worry that heâs done something to Luffy. You donât say a word, but someone in a jumpsuit (boiler suit you think?) calls out âcaptainâ just in time for him to turn towards you as you shove the older boy to the ground, placing yourself on top of him and your knife to his neck.
Part of you wishes it was poisoned right now, just in case this Trafalgar Law has done something to your brother.
âWhereâs Luffy?!â
The knife you have at his neck doesnât phase Law even a tiny bit, itâs the fact that someone so much shorter and smaller than him was able to catch him off guard and shove him to the ground the way you did. Youâre angry for some reason, giving him a nasty glare but look like youâre about to cry on top of it, as he just stares at you, his crewmembers shouting for you to get off their captain before he raises a hand to stop them.
âWhoââ
âTell me, where is my brother?!â
Oh so thatâs whatâs wrong, thatâs who you are. Whether youâre related to Luffy by blood or by ritual cup like Ace was, Law doesnât know, but heâs sure you want reassurance you havenât lost two brothers in one day.
âAre you [Y/N]?â
You turn your head to look over your shoulder at Jinbei, still glaring. âWhoâs asking?!â
âI was friends with your brother Ace, he told me about you and Luffy while we were in Impel Down.â
âHeâŚdid?â
Youâve calmed down so quickly hearing Aceâs name, retracting your knife just slightly, while Jinbei explains things to you. You donât move off of Law though, listening quietly, fighting the desire to cry more. Youâve done enough of that, you donât want to anymore today.
Law doesnât even try to move you off, knowing, like Luffy, youâre emotionally hurting right now. He doesnât want to risk you slicing his neck either, even as Jinbei finishes telling you everything Ace did, and you still donât move or look at Law.
âAce hopes you find what youâre looking for.â
You clench your jaw a bit at first, before smiling sadly and nodding, thanking Jinbei for the information before Law speaks up.
âIf you get off me, I can take you to Straw Hat-ya.âÂ
You blink, finally looking back to Law, and you feel your face burn with a blush when you realize your position and scramble to get off him, apologizing the whole way while he shakes his head. Once heâs on his feet, Law letâs you onto the Polar Tang and leads you down the hallway to the infirmary, updating you on Luffyâs condition the best he can with the knowledge he has.
âIf he pulls through this, the most youâll have to worry about is his mental health.â
âMm.â You nod, grabbing Lawâs arm as he stops to open a door, making him look back at you. âI apologize for shoving you down.â
âIâve been through worse,â Law shrugs, you could tell just from looking at him, though he does smirk a bit at you, âNever had a girl push me down and hold a poisoned knife to my neck before though.â
âIt wasnât poisoned,â you almost shout, but keep your voice down to not wake Luffy, ââŚthis timeâŚâ
He almost laughs, but when you see Luffy finally, youâre instantly but his side, taking his hand and trying to keep yourself from crying seeing him in such a state. Heâd been injured badly before, but never like this, never this close to death.
âLuffyâŚoh Luffy, Iâm here, Lu,â you brush his bangs away from his face before kissing his forehead, âIâm so sorry I wasnât there, I shouldâve come with youâŚâ
Law doesnât bother you for the next several minutes, stepping out so you have some privacy while you make sure Luffy is all right, your quiet prayers that he wakes soon and heals quickly donât go unheard by the surgeon of death, who thinks back to his own sister and the prayers heâd once prayed for her health as a child.
As an older sibling, he gets it. While he still doesnât know yet if youâre related by blood or sworn siblings, he does see how much you care for Luffy, and for your sake he hopes your captain wakes sooner rather than later.
+!+
You spend the next two weeks in and out of the Polar Tang, checking on Luffy and praying over him to wake soon, Law being the one to take you in and lead you back out most of the time, even though youâve memorized the path already. The next time you leave Luffy to continue recovering, the friends you and Luffy have made from Amazon Lily have shown up in the time youâve been with him, bringing food and drinks for you all. As you walk over to where heâs seated, Law offers you a drink that you reject with a shake of your head, sitting on the other side of the tree and bringing your knees up to your chest, hiding your face in them.
âAny signs heâs waking up?â
Shaking your head, you sigh and lean back, looking at the people around to distract yourself from worrying over Luffy.
âThat your crew?â
âYep. All twenty of them.â
You smile a bit, watching the Heart Pirates goof off while some have their meal and share drinks. It almost reminds you of the Straw Hats and makes your heart ache from missing them deeply.
âYou have a nice group there.â
âThey can be a handful.â
It makes you laugh a bit, nodding before you decide to stop wallowing and get back up, standing beside Law where he stays seated.
âThink you should hold this for now.â
Law tosses Luffyâs straw hat to you, and you grit your teeth a bit while you stare at it. You had wondered where it was, seeing it wasnât around when you were with Luffy. You hold nothing but the highest regards for Shanks, he'd been an inspiration for you and Luffy when you were children, he helped end the war and helped Law save Luffy, but how you wish heâd shown up sooner. Maybe he couldâve helped Ace too.
âThank you, for holding this.â
âSeems important to him, heâs not Straw Hat-ya without it.â
Smiling a bit, you nod. âHeâs certainly not.â
âHow do youââ
âIâm his big sister. I was three when our dad dropped him off with me and grandpa. Weâve been together almost every day since.â
âI see.â
Youâre not entirely sure you trust Law, despite his saving Luffy, but youâre willing to give him a shot. At least let him know a bit about your history with Ace too, since he'd been there when you hadnât been. Where Luffy asked you not to go.
âWe met Ace and another boy when I was ten, and become sworn siblings with them soon after. The other boy died a few months later,â you grip the straw hat a bit tighter, but loosen your hold after being stabbed in the hand by sharp bits of straw, âa Celestial Dragon did it, weâve not been fans of them since, so Luffy punching that one in Sabaody felt like some payback.â
âThat makes sense.â
After a few minutes of silence, you finally realize something and turn to Law, sticking your hand out for him.
âNever introduced myself. Monkey D. [Y/N]. I donât really use my last name though.â
Law takes your hand after a moment, nodding. âTrafalgar Law.â
âThank you for saving my baby brother.â
âDonât thank me until he wakes up.â
As if almost on cue, the door comes flying off the Polar Tang and you both whip your heads over, Law running ahead of you as you follow, and Luffyâs the next thing to almost fly out of the ship.
âLuffy!!â
Youâre about to run to him before Law grabs hold of your arm, pulling you to himself and holding you still, even while you thrash around and listen to Luffy call for Ace. It breaks your heart to see him so upset, and you just want to console him, have him do the same for you, while you both continue to grieve for Ace. But Law wonât let you go to him, fear or concern your brother might hurt you while he fights through pain and raging emotions, before he disappears into the forest.
âLuffy, come back!!â
You barely register Jinbei asking whatâll happen if Luffy continues to flail and run off like that, before Law speaks and your heart almost drops to your stomach at the thought.
âIf he continues to move around like that he could reopen his wound and bleed out. Heâll die.â
Quickly you turn around and Law isnât at all shocked to see the tears welling up in your eyes as you grip his shirt, still holding Luffyâs straw hat.
âDonât let that happen!! Please!! Heâs all I have! Luffy is my whole world, I canât lose him!!â
Unsure of what to do, especially once you lay your head on his chest while you cry, Law hesitantly wraps his arms around you and watches Jinbei go off to Luffy. Maybe heâll be able to calm your brother down before he really hurts or kills himself.
Youâve both been through a lot the last few weeks, losing Luffy would break you more than losing Ace did to him.
+!+
âIâm sorry I got snot on your shirt.â
âDonât worry about it. Itâll wash.â
You glance away and keep your eyes averted while Law changes shirts, having taken you onto the Polar Tang while Jinbei attempts to calm Luffy down. He didnât fully mean to bring you into his room, but he never let go of your wrist while he led through the ship, making you sit down to hopefully calm you down. You do catch sight of his tattoos, wanting to say something but you donât want to sound like a creep or a pervert at the same time.
âWhy donât you use your last name?â
Law surprises you once heâs changed shirts, this one almost the same as the yellow one heâd been wearing, but now a dark blue with a furry, feathery collar that you really want to pet, it looks soft. But again, you donât want to seem like a creep.
For a moment youâre quiet, before you cross your arms and lean against the wall, shrugging.
âWhy should I use the name of someone who abandoned me? I only have one memory of my father, and it was when he dropped off Luffy.â
âYour grandfather is Garp, isnât he?â
âI love my grandpa like heâs my dadâŚbut I donât want to use my last name.â
Law nods a bit, seeming to understand. You felt abandoned, and wanted nothing to do with your biological father, instead viewing Garp in that light, which makes sense.
He'd viewed Corazon in the same light at one point.
âYour mother?â
âI know nothing about her. Itâs likeâŚâ You start to bury your head in your knees again, almost digging your nails into your arms, âLike I donât know who I am half the timeâŚâ
He gets that too, the same feelings after Flevance, after losing Corazon and leaving the Don Quixote family, leaving Doflamingo behind. Many times of looking in the mirror and asking âwho the hell am Iâ.
Law is about to respond, before one of his crewmembers yells for you both that Luffy and Jinbei have returned to the beach, and youâre out the door so fast he isnât able to believe it. He follows you out, not all surprised to see you and Luffy hugging each other tightly once he exits his ship.
Your bond with Luffy would be on full display the next few days, Law truthfully does wonder if he and Lammy wouldâve been the same.
+!+
âI met some people who are friends with our dad.â
âYou what?â
Luffy nods, giving you this information during dinner one evening, while you stare at him with such a blank look that Law thinks youâve completely shut down. You didnât say too much about your dad while you relayed some of your childhood to him earlier that day, apart from your perceived abandonment, but the look you have isnât a very happy one.
âTheyâre were some cool people! They helped me escape that prison andâŚtried to help me save Ace.â
âSo they were revolutionaries.â
âYeah, theyâŚthey said they didnât even know we existed.â Luffy scrunches up his face a bit while you frown, then pat his head.
âIâm not surprised, Lu.â
Luffy makes a face now, one thatâs almost disgusted but annoyed but upset maybe. Law swears he isnât trying to eavesdrop, you two are sitting too close to him anyway, youâre practically pressed up against his side. You both appear to have problems with your father, after the little bit youâve told him and how you confessed to feeling abandoned by your parents. He wonders briefly is Luffy feels the same, even as your younger brother leans against you, pushing you fully into Lawâs arm and making you glance up at him apologetically. He doesnât move, once again doesnât push you off, instead shifting his arm enough for you to be comfortable.
When Luffy falls asleep, you finally speak again.
âLuffy met our dad once, in Loguetownâ
âOh yeah?â
âNeither of us knew until grandpa told usâŚhe didnât even stop to say anything to meâŚâ
ââŚIâm sorry.â
You shrug, watching Luffy. It still stung to know that, to know that Dragon didnât even seek you out when he mustâve known you were on Luffyâs crew, that youâd never leave him to do this alone. When Garp told you heâd been in Loguetown that day, it felt like a knife in your heart that you didnât even get to see or speak to your father.
Law, while he watches you start to drift off to sleep yourself, thinks about his own dad and Corazon at the same time. He had two fathers in the end, who both cared about and loved him deeply, both wanting to protect him as long as they could. He had his mother and Lammy too, you had Luffy and Garp, but it wasnât enough for you, and it makes sense. To not have that connection with the people who gave you life, Law canât even imagine how difficult that must be.
He ignores the slight snickers and comments from his crew when they see you leaned against him, even has he slightly tilts his head towards yours, not going all the way to lay his against your own. Even when Shachi makes a small comment about âloveâ being in the air at Amazon Lily, Law doesnât open his eyes to respond or even Shambles his friend away.
You wonât see each other again for a long time after this, most likely, so heâs willing to give you some comfort and allow his crew to see him a little softer than normal.
+!+
âBye, thanks for your help, Traffy!â
Law tries not to grimace at the nickname Luffyâs given him over the last few days, nodding to you both as his crew also shouts goodbyes and wave to you both, you personally sad to see them leave. Youâd spent so much time getting to know them while taking care of Luffy, that it felt like you were losing friends again. Youâd probably see them one day, maybe as friends but maybe as foes, yet, youâd like to see more of Law and learn about him like he had you.
Luffy notices your face, the sad look it has, then looks back to the Heart Pirates as they start to disappear below deck. Youâve already chosen to stay on Amazon Lily the next two years and learn from the women there how to fight, but even watching you the last couple days, he could see your heart wasnât in it. You more so loved using your knives and making poisons, he remembers the one he and Ace mistakenly drank thinking it was lavender tea from Makino. You werenât an archer or a swordswoman, you much prefer close combat and paralyzing your enemies. Your work during Enies Lobby earned you your $25 million berri bounty, the Navy having trouble recreating antidotes from the one youâd left with a knocked out marine, they knew youâd be trouble one day.
With all that in mind, Luffy sneaks up behind you, wrapping his arms around you in what you first believe to be a hug, before he lifts you up and you look at him. Heâs got a grin that concerns you greatly as the color drains from your face.
âLuffy.â
He giggles a bit, nodding at you to brace yourself.
âLuffy, donât you dare.â
âHave fun with Traffy for two years!!!â
He doesnât give you anymore room to argue, flinging you towards the Polar Tang, making you yell for Law to pay attention, and he barely does in time to catch you, knocking both of you to the ground, several Heart Pirates making sure both of you are all right and that Law didnât hit his head on anything.
Youâre up and holding onto the railing, yelling at Luffy, âYouâre an idiot!!!â
He pretends he canât hear you, waving widely and shouting another goodbye, but to you this time.
Once Law is sitting up, realizing what the hell has happened, he sighs a bit while you look back to him.
âIâm sorry, Trafalgar. You can turn back and Iâll beat some sense into him!â
One of his crewmembers, youâre pretty sure itâs Shachi, leans down to ask him, âShould we? Kinda seems like Straw Hat wants us to take her along.â
He sighs, taking his hat off and running his hand through his hair, shaking his head.
âYou can stay.â
ââŚhuh?â
You tilt your head in confusion, Law doesnât think itâs cute at all no matter what that weird feeling in his chest is, while he stands up and nods at you.
âThe Amazons might get angry if we return without permission, so weâll justâŚtake you alongâŚand then bring you to Sabaody.â
Blinking several times, youâre still confused while some of his crew laugh, Penguin coming up to pat you on the back.
âYouâre a temporary Heart Pirate! Weâll take care of you!â
Nodding, Law turns to go below deck.
âSay your goodbye, weâll be going under shortly.â
While the rest of them follow after their captain, you turn back and see Luffy still waving at you, which makes you sigh and shake your head. You do smile though, you had wanted to continue getting to know Law and his crew, this was a perfect opportunity, and maybe he could help you with creating effective antidotes for your poisons.
âLuffy! Love you, see you in two years!â
âOkay!!!!â
Once you go below deck, Penguin being the one to wait for you in order to close the door properly, he starts to show you around a bit, the rest of the crew happy to see youâre staying with them for now, while Law keeps a slight distance unless heâs asked about something. You looking around and being so impressed by the submarine caused another weird feeling in his chest, and he fights to ignore it, especially when you thank him for letting you stay with a smile, which he waves off with an âItâs nothingâ.
It's going to be an interesting two years.

THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE
Pairings: Helion x Reader (platonic); Inner Circle x Reader (platonic)
Summary: Secrets can never be kept for long. Eventually, the truth always comes out, and so do the consequences of it.
Warnings: Mentions of blood/pregnancy/birth/fight/death (nothing too descriptive); there's a flashback scene in the middle.
Words: 7.6k
Author's Note: Hi! So I started writing, and this is what came out (kinda of what happened with 'Never Yours'). I'm exploring my writing at the moment, and that's why this got so long, but I like how this turned out, and I hope you guys do too. Enjoy!
You are a scholar from Day Court. But you are not just a simple scholar - you are the best. Â
You were known for graduating at the top of your class and for your impeccable reputation of never failing a project and never leaving a question unanswered.
You have always been a very curious person, and the fact that you grew up in Day Court gave you the privilege of having access to the best libraries with the best books in Prythian.
That's why books were your life and the fact you liked to have an answer for everything, even though Helion called you a know-it-all from time to time, and even if that irritated you a little, it was true.
Whenever a question arose that you didn't know the answer to, you made it your personal mission to find one.Â
Even if it meant having to read dozens, if not hundreds of books, but that part you never care about. Besides, the libraries were your favorite places, especially the one near the pegasus stables.
The only thing you liked more than books was pegasus. You thought they were the most magnificent creatures your eyes had ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Your favorite was Meallan, who was also Helion's favorite. It was with him that you learned to ride a pegasus, and he was your favorite partner to fly and enjoy the sky.
Besides being curious, you were also a very adventurous person, and it was your sense of adventure that got you into trouble.Â
One day, you decided that it would be a great day to combine the two things you love most in this world - books and pegasus. Â
So you tried flying with Meallan while reading one of your romance books, only to get distracted when the scenery in the book started to heat up and lose your balance.
Your luck? Meallan wasn't flying very high when it happened. Â
Your bad luck? A broken leg and a very big and angry lecture from Helion.
When he heard what you did, he banned you from flying with Meallan or any of the other pegasus again for months.
Which led you to focus on books again for a while, which helped a lot during your recovery.
Your reputation caught Rhysand's attention.
The High Lord of the Night Court was in the middle of researching the Cauldron. Rumors about Hybern being in search of him for a new war had reached his ears, and as all High Lords should, he began to prepare for war but the truth is that his library could not be compared with those at Day Court.
Even with the help of the priestesses, he was unable to find almost anything. That's where you entered the equation.
During a meeting between the Night Court and Day Court at Helion's Palace, Rhys mentioned your name.
Helion wasn't surprised. He knew very well what you were capable of, and at that moment, he couldn't hide the pride he felt for you.Â
He knew what Rhysand was about to ask of him. He wanted you to join him and his Inner Circle in Velaris and help with the research, and if possible, bring some books from your Court on the subject for them to read as well.
Helion had no problem with you helping them, afterall Rhys was one of his longest friends.Â
The only thing he didn't like was putting you in the enemy's attention. If Hybern found out, you'd have a target on your back.
Helion explained his worries to Rhys and his Inner Circle that were seated beside him.
He explained to them how you were not just another citizen of his Court.Â
You were important and very close to him. He told them how your mother was one of his best friends for centuries, and when she died, he took you under his care.
The Night Court assured him that they would treat you like family and that they would not let anything bad happen to you.
Before Helion could respond, your voice filled the conference room, âIâll do it.â
All the heads turned in your direction, Helion leaned back in his chair and ran a hand over his face. "How many times do I have to tell you not to eavesdrop?"
With an innocent smile, you replied, "I wasn't eavesdropping. I was passing by, and I heard my name."
"Really? You were just passing by?" Helion didn't believe you for a second.
The Inner Circle watched the scene unfold in front of them with amusement in their faces.
"Hum hum" was your response.
Helion interlaced his hands and with an amused look - one that you knew very well and that meant he was about to corner you - "And where were you going, if I may ask?"
"I...Hum, I..." You paused to think. "Ah, I was going to the kitchen. Yes, that's where I was going." You finished with pride.
Helion chuckled. "The same kitchen that is on the other side of the palace, and you can't access it from this floor?"
Your smile fell, and you realized you had been caught.Â
He was right, this floor was for political purposes only - Helion's office, the conference room they were in now, an armament room and the map room which was mainly used by Helion's General and his soldiers.
Everyone tried to contain their laughter at your expression and when you tried to come up with a quick response and couldn't, you decided to admit defeat "Okay, okay, I wasn't just passing by. What do you want me to say? You know I'm curious."
"Indeed, I do." He gave you a smile. Raising from his seat, he gestured for you to approach him, and when you did, he wrapped you in a side hug. "Y/N, meet the Inner Circle."Â
You couldn't help but linger your gaze on the Shadowsinger. He was stupidly handsome, and no one should look that good.Â
The laughter caught your attention, and when you looked at them, you noticed that everyone was smiling except Helion.Â
Realizing what just happened, you said, "Shit. Did I just say that out loud?" A hand coming to cover your mouth that was starting to form into a nervous smile.
"Unfortunately." Helion replied with a roll of his eyes.
Another thing you were also, besides being curious and adventurous - is being honest. You are not, and you have never been afraid to say what you think and be direct about it.Â
Helion has always really liked that trait of yours but not at the moment, especially when you're using it to flirt with the male in front of you.
"Okay, enough." He averted his gaze to Azriel. "Stop looking at her like that before I regret all of this." The Shadowsinger raised his hand in surrender with a smile.
Helion released a sigh before looking at you. "Are you sure about this? You don't have to do it if you don't want to."
You gave him an assured smile. "I'm sure. I can do this. Besides, it's what I was trained for, right?" That led you to another thought. "Oh, can you train me while I'm there?" You asked the General.Â
Cassian was surprised by the question. No one ever asked him to train them before, and if they did, it wouldn't be a female. That made him happy, so he had no problem in saying, "Of course."Â
"Awesome. I'm going to pack my things." You said with one last smile before exiting the room.Â
"Alright. Rhys, I'm trusting you, all of you, with her. So... don't fuck this up, unless you would like to see me angry."Â Helion warned them with his High Lord voice.
Rhys giggled at his words but he knew the male meant every single one "We won't."
Helion turned his attention to Cassian. "Oh, and Cassian? Be careful when you eventually put a weapon on her hands. She's a little curious and clumsy even though she never lost or ruined a book, which is kinda a surprise, actually."
Cassian laughed, "It can't be that bad."
Helion also laughed before telling them one of your many stories "I once tried to teach her archery because she was interested and when I was teaching her how to shoot an arrow, she got distracted with a butterfly that was flying near her and the arrow that was supposed to go into the target, end up going into one of the gardener's legs. Who, by the way, was on the other side of the garden."
Cassian's smile dropped and he got a little pale. Everyone else laughed but him.
"Oh, this is going to be fun." Morrigan said with a "I already like her," followed by Amren.
"Careful, got it." Cassian said before starting to re-think about his life's choices.Â
-
You were finishing packing when Helion entered your bedroom chambers.
"Everything okay?" He asked you.
"Yes. I already have everything I need." You turned to look at him and when you saw his look you told him "Don't worry. I'm going to be fine."
"I know." He approached you and held you by your shoulders "Remember, no one can know. It needs to remain a secret."Â
"Yes, I know. I'm not going to tell them." You assured him.
"Good. Now, have fun but please be careful with the weapons during training with Cassian. We wouldn't want you to lose a finger."
"Or him." You added, making you and the male giggle.
"Also, don't forget our agreement." Helion reminded you.
You rolled your eyes but with a laugh escaping your lips, "I know."
"Four letters during the week." He said while smiling at your antics, "Deal?"
"Deal." You said with a firm smile.
-
Everything was going well.Â
You had been at the Night Court for about three months now and the research about the Cauldron and Hybern had progressed a lot with your help.Â
You loved Velaris and adjusted very well but instead of staying with the Inner Circle, you decided to rent a house near the Sidra so you could explore the City of Starlight at your own pace.Â
And because you never lived alone before and decided to try it - 'a new adventure' that's what you wrote to Helion in the letter. He didn't like that.
You also did that, so you had a reason for the Shadowsinger to fly you to the House and then back to yours - but you didn't share that part with Helion.
The library at the House of Wind made you feel at home and helped with your homesickness.Â
The priestesses adored you and found your presence comforting. The only thing they didn't like very much was when you disappeared for a few hours and they had to alert the Inner Circle. Â
They found you on the last floor of the library drinking tea while talking to Bryaxis much to Cassian's dismay. You almost gave all of them a heart attack.
When they asked you about it you blamed your curiosity. You had heard some priestesses talking about the creature that lived in the library while searching for a book.Â
You went to the edge of the stairs and when you looked down, you found nothing, and you needed to know what this creature was like so your feet started moving before you could stop them.Â
You end up finding that Bryaxis was really good at telling stories and you thought he was friendly. Cassian didn't like that.
You were doing remarkable work. Rhys had complimented you multiple times for it.
You were respecting the agreement and sending four letters as agreed and Cassian still had all his fingers and toes but the same couldn't be said about the ear he almost lost when you got distracted during sword training.Â
Two months without any incident - or almost.
But that changed the day a letter from the Night Court arrived.
-Â
Helion never winnowed so fast as he did when he received the letter from Rhysand explaining about what happened to you.
Helion was quick to grab Rhys by the colar of his shirt that he didn't even had time to react "What the fuck happened?" He yelled.
Rhys didn't want to admit it but at that moment he was a little afraid of the male so he told him everything. How you didn't show up in the library this morning and Clotho noticed your absence, how no one had seen you since last night and after checking if you were with Bryaxis which you weren't, they decided to come to your house to check on you, but instead found the door open and when they check the inside...
The house was destroyed. Broken furniture, paintings lying on the floor, shattered objects, torn cushions and then, blood.
Not just yours but also whoever invaded.
Apparently, training with Cassian paid off because you put up a good fight to those males.
And then there were the scents.
The scent of Autumn soldiers, at least five different scents lingered in the air but they were starting to disappear so they suspected you had been taken at least two hours ago.
And when the explanation ended, he finally released his friend's shirt and took a step back.
Helion panicked. He knew what this meant right before he came to Velaris. But he chose not to believe it and just dismissed it. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
But now, with all the evidence in front of his eyes, he couldn't deny it. Not anymore.
He had found out the truth and came for you.
All the emotions started overwhelming Helion - anger, worry, fear, rage.
But he was going to find you, and he was going to bring you home - to him. Even if it meant he would have to destroy Autumn with his bare hands, like he did once, to some beasts, all those centuries ago.
"Don't worry, Helion, we're going to find your scholar." Rhysand promised him.
"She's not just my scholar!" The High Lord of Day shouted - he shouted so loud that the birds that were posing on the trees flew away as fast as their wings allowed.Â
Feyre moved forward and placed her hand on Helion's arm, trying to comfort him as much as she could. "What do you mean by that?"
Helion met the High Lady's eyes, and all she found in them was pain and fear.Â
His lips trembled, and after taking a few deep breaths, he told her the truth. "She's my daughter."Â
The Inner Circle stilled at his words. This was unknown to them, Helion had never mentioned a child of his own.
"Y/N is my daughter, and she's the princess of the Day Court." The High Lord of Day told them. The fear in his voice was noticeable.Â
Before any of them had the chance to say something, Helion raised his hand and signaled his second in command to approach him; the male had refused to let his High Lord come alone after reading that letter "Benjen."
Benjen approached him and stood to his full height, ready to receive his orders. "Yes, High Lord?
"I need you to send a letter to Eris, tell him what happened and that he needs to come to Velaris as soon as he can." Helion paused for a second, very well aware of the gazes the Inner Circle were sending his way, "and also tell him not to show the letter to anyone, as soon as he finishes reading it, he must burn it immediately."
"Of course, High Lord." Bejen replied and gave a small nod before leaving to carry out the order that his High Lord entrusted to him.
At the exit of one of his most trusted friends, Helion looked back to the Inner Circle, and he only had a second to breathe before the Shadowsinger spoke.
"Why are you sending a letter to Eris? What does he have to do with Y/N?" He asked him, with worry and confusion on his face. If Autumn had really captured you, he didn't want to waste another minute.
"Everything." Was Helion's only response.
Tired of his riddles, Rhys spoke, from one High Lord to another. "Helion, tell us what's going on. How is Y/N your daughter, and why did I never know about it? How is Eris connected to her? And why was she taken by Autumn soldiers?"Â
Helion released a long breath and pitched the bridge of his nose. He approached the High Lord of Night, and with a stern look and a firm voice, he said, "If I tell you, Rhysand, you and your Inner Circle can't tell anyone."Â
Rhys looked back, and with the firm nods of his family, he returned his look to Helion before extending his hand for him to shake it. "I promise."
Helion took his hand, and the bargain was made. A tattoo in the shape of the sun appeared on the back of their necks.
Helion gave him a nod before telling him, "Y/N mother didn't die, and she wasn't just a random lover."Â
The Inner Circle approached at the sound of the new information the Spell Cleaver was about to share with them.
He continued, "Y/N is the result of an affair that I had eighty-two years ago." Helion paused, aware of what he was about to say. "She's mine and Elowyn's daughter."
The Inner Circle gasped out loud, shock spreading through their features.Â
Oh, this was bad - this was very bad.
"You mean..?" Feyre wasn't able to finish her sentence before Helion interrupted her.
"Yes." He said, looking at the High Lady again, "The Lady of Autumn is her mother." Helion sighed, "We kept it a secret all these years so Beron wouldn't find out, but apparently, he has."
Helion took a step back and passed a hand through his long black hair. "That's how Y/N is connected to Eris. He's her brother."
Cassian spoke for the first time since all of this happened. "But how does he know?"Â
Helion looked at the General. "Because Eris was the one who brought Y/N to me on the day she was born."
Eight-two Years Ago
The sun had left a long time ago.
The night had already come with her dark sky, her shiny stars, and her smooth breeze.
The entire Prythian was thankful for it.
Every citizen from every Court just wanted today's day to end.
No one understood or had an explanation for the events of today.Â
It didn't make sense. Prythian was in the height of winter - two weeks from the Winter Solstice - to be more precise.Â
Even though the Seasonal Courts didn't follow the natural course of Nature, they, too, were affected.
During the entire day, the sun shined like it had never shined before and released a heat that Prythian had never felt.
Not even the Summer Court or the Day Court have had a sun like this before. And these were the two Courts best known for their hot suns.
Even Winter Court, known for their constant cold, and their land always decorated with snow and ice felt uncomfortable with the sun.
Nothing happened differently during the course of today's day to explain this reaction from the sun.
There was no reason for it.
Except, there was, they just didn't know that.
-Â
The letter came a few minutes after Helion had finished his dinner.
He, too, was contemplating about the sun's behavior earlier.Â
He even made his way to one of his many libraries to see if this event had ever happened before but he found nothing.
It wasn't strange for the sun to shine like it did today. They've had their fair share of hot summers but for the sun to shine like that during the winter? That didn't make sense.
And with all the libraries and even more the books he owned, there had to be an answer somewhere.
The High Lord of Day was in the middle of reading a book when the letter appeared on top of it.
The letter had brown tones with leaf patterns and an intense scent of pine - Autumn.
This was the second strange thing that happened today. Why - of all the Courts - would Autumn be sending him a letter? Â
It was then that he noticed that the letter did not come from Beron. The stamped seal did not belong to the High Lord. Â
No, the seal was in the shape of a hound. The Heir's beloved creatures and his personal seal.
Eris Vanserra sent him a letter - a personal letter.
Without further hesitation, Helion opened the letter and read the content hidden within. If he was confused before, he is even more now.Â
The letter contained three simple instructions: "Meet me at the border between Day and Dawn in twenty minutes. Come alone and don't let anyone see you. Burn the letter once you finish reading it."
Now, this was even stranger than the sun's behavior.
-Â
Helion knew that he was most likely making a mistake.Â
Meeting alone with Eris at the border could very well be a trap, but on second thought, what reason did the Heir have to ambush him?
The answer is none. Â
He knows that Eris is not the cruel and arrogant male he appears to be, he knows that deep down Eris is good, honest and kind and that the rest is nothing more than a mask that he had to create because of Beron.
That's why Helion followed his instructions. He just hopes he doesn't regret it.
As agreed, Eris appears exactly twenty minutes after sending the letter. Â
The High Lord of Day decided to arrive a little earlier as a precaution, just to make sure there were no hidden hounds ready to attack his legs, especially today that he was wearing a new robe.
Helion had no idea what this secret meeting was about. He came to think that perhaps the Heir was moments away from asking him for help to take down Beron, but he came to the conclusion that if that were the case, it wasn't him that Eris would ask for help, but the Night Court, so he scrapped that idea and was left with no other.
Therefore, he had no expectations for this meeting - if it could be called that.Â
But the last thing he expected was to see Eris Vanserra with a newborn in his arms.
-
The day was already feeling long, but with the sun shining like this and the unbearable heat that came from it, it only made it seem even longer.
Elowyn, Lady of the Autumn Court, had now been in labor for three hours.
The eighth child of Beron Vanserra and Elowyn was about to come into the world, and like all the other births, Beron was far away from the room where his wife was. Â
But Eris was there, just like he was at all the births of his younger brothers, holding his mother's hand like he always did.
Eris loved his mother more than anything, and one of the reasons he wanted to overthrow Beron so much was so she could be free and happy.
He also knew that Lucien was her favorite son, and although it hurt him, he would still do anything for her, but what was unknown to Eris was that he was her favorite son too.
Eris was surprised when his mother announced that she was pregnant again. After all, Lucien was born more than four hundred years ago. Another brother was something the young Heir wasn't expecting.
But he couldn't not be happy, besides he always liked taking care of his brothers when they were younger, and after everything that happened maybe a baby was exactly what they needed.
As his mother pushed again, Eris began to think about all the things he was going to teach the new member of the family - fishing, hunting, fighting because in this world that is also important, reading, writing, camping but most importantly how to control the powers.
That was something Eris didn't have.Â
No one taught him how to control and use his fire, and that led the healers to treat a lot of burns because of it, and he wasn't going to let this baby go through what he did.
His mother's scream shook him away from those thoughts, and Eris refocused all his attention on her and made sure to hold her hand tighter, assuring his mother that he wasn't going anywhere. Not until his brother is born.
Two hours later - with screams, pain, and sweat - a baby's cries burst into the room, bringing tears of happiness to the eyes of Elowyn and Eris.
But it was at that moment that the Mother made her first turn of events.
"It's a girl, my Lady." The head healer that was helping with the labor announced "a very healthy baby girl."Â
Eris froze, not knowing how to react before this new information.
In over a thousand years, the Vanserra lineage has never had female descendants.Â
This couldn't be possible.
"A girl?" Elowyn asked, exhaustion in her voice.
"Yes, my Lady." One of the healers that assisted with the birth and now holding the baby confirmed while walking closer to the bed. "It looks like you've been blessed, my Lady."Â
Eris's grip on his mother's hand loosened, and the male stood up from the side of the bed where he had spent the last five hours crouched. Now raised to his full height, Eris saw his baby sister, and his heart stopped.Â
And that was when the Mother made her second turn of events.
The baby didn't look like Eris or his mother or anyone in his family. Her hair wasn't red, her eyes weren't russet or brown, and her skin wasn't pale.Â
She wasn't a daughter of Autumn. Meaning she wasn't Beron's daughter.
Eris took the baby from the healer's arms before speaking to all of them. "Leave us."Â
The head healer asked before making her exit, "Should we announce the birth to the High Lord, my Prince?"
"No." Eris was quick to respond. He looked at the baby in his arms again before meeting the gaze of the female. "I'll tell him myself when he gets back from the meeting. Thank you for your help."
"Of course, my Prince." The healer turned to face Elowyn and bowed one more time before leaving the room "My Lady."
Elowyn gave her a small smile. "Thank you, Lydia."Â
Now alone in the room, Eris finally looked at his mother and took a seat on her left side of the bed, and passed the baby to her arms.
At the sight of her daughter, Elowyn cried.
She knew what this meant. Beron was going to kill her and her child.
Her love affair had ended after becoming pregnant with Lucien, but after seeing Helion at the High Lords meeting three years ago, all the feelings that she had buried deep down in her heart came to the surface.
And as always, she wasn't able to stay away from the male she's always loved - the love of her life, her mate, and now the father of two of her children.
Elowyn ran her fingers over the delicate cheek of her daughter - her only daughter - and with tears running down her face, she looked at her firstborn and said to him in a low voice "He's going to kill us, isn't he?"Â
It was Eris's turn to have tears in his eyes, but he didn't let them fall.
Placing one of his fingers in front of his little sister, Eris saw the baby wrap her small hand around his finger, and he could have sworn his heart skipped a beat at the gesture.Â
He had a gentle smile on his lips as he looked at the newborn now sleeping in his mother's arms. Her hand still wrapped around her big brother's finger.
"She's Helion's, isn't she?" Eris asked without taking his eyes from the baby.
Elowyn's mouth opened in surprise. She never mentioned Helion to anyone, not even to Lydia who wasn't just the Court's head healer but also her dearest friend. "Wha-"
"It's okay, mom. I have known for a while." Eris gave her a small smile, eyes still directed to his sister.
"Since when?"
"Since Lucien." Eris finally looked at his mother.Â
Eris gave a long sigh before revealing his opinion to his mother "If you would like to know, I wish you had married him and not Beron," Eris grabbed her hand and give it a tight squeeze before continuing "You deserve to be happy and well treated, mom, and I know that Helion does that and so much more. I've never seen you as happy as on the days you returned from your meetings with him."
Elowyn gave him a genuine smile before murmuring a "Thank you."
Eris chuckled, now putting the two pieces together. "This is why the sun is acting like crazy today, isn't it? Because she's a child of Day.
The same had happened with Lucien but it wasn't as strong as today and Lucien was born in the summer which didn't raise any suspicions.
His mother nodded her head in affirmation before returning her eyes to her daughter, and she gave a small laugh. "She looks just like him."
And it was true. Everything about you screamed Helion - your eyes, your hair, your skin, and even your nose. There was no doubt in it.
Concerned invaded her face, and Elowyn found herself holding the baby tighter to her chest.Â
She looked at her son again. "What are we going to do?"Â
Eris met her gaze before looking at the peaceful baby again, and his head started to work to come up with a plan.Â
Even if you weren't Beron's you were still his sister - his baby sister - and he wasn't going to let that horrible male harm you.Â
After a few minutes and after thinking about all the possible ways, Eris understood there was only one option - one that he hated.
But that didn't matter. What mattered was to keep you safe and alive even if it meant to send you away.
The tears returned to his eyes. He had to swallow the lump in his throat because he knew he was about to break his mother's heart.
After breathing a couple of times to calm his heart, he gathered enough courage to tell her, "I have a plan."Â
And just like that, the Mother made her third and final turn of events.
-Â
The High Lord of Day couldn't believe what was in front of him.
Eris Vanserra with a newborn in his arms? Things had just gotten far more interesting or dangerous.
The Heir of Autumn was walking in his direction and looking at his surroundings while doing it.
When he finally stood in front of the High Lord, Eris asked him, "Are you alone?"
With an annoyed look, Helion raised his arm to gesture around them and couldn't help but reply "Do you see anyone else here, Prince?"
"As far as I'm concerned, you could have soldiers hiding behind the trees ready to attack me at your signal, High Lord." He answered with a sarcastic smile.
Helion reciprocated his smile while adding, "I could say the same about you."Â
Eris shrugged his shoulders and concluded, "I suppose that's true."Â
Helion winked at him before his eyes moved to the baby in his arms. Trying to act as normal as possible and not let his curiosity take the better of him, Helion asked "Who's this little alone? And why did you bring a baby here?"Â
Helion didn't have a good view of you, only of the top of your head since the rest was hidden by the blanket.
At the question, Eris held you tighter in his arms, he looked to the High Lord - who was still busy staring at you, probably trying to get a better look - he wanted to see his reaction when he revealed the truth to him.
"This is my sister. She was born a few hours ago." The Heir said and moved the blanket so Helion could finally see you.
When Eris removed the blanket and Helion finally had a good view of you, he found it strange because he found you familiar, as if he had already seen you before but that was impossible. Â
At your sight, confusion settled on the Spell Cleaver's features, and he scoffed before telling him, "She's your sister?" He gave Eris an incredulous look and then continued. "I hate to be the one telling you this, Eris, but she doesn't look li-"
You opened your eyes at the sound of his voice, making the High Lord of Day freeze in his place.
Helion stopped. His heart did, too. Realization entered him as he put the pieces together.Â
He raised his head to look at the male in front of him, who only gave a nod of affirmation as his response.
Helion had to blink his eyes several times to make sure that he wasn't dreaming - that this was real.
Now with the new revelation of the Heir of Autumn, his previous thoughts made sense.
You looked just like him.Â
"It's not possible." Helion said, more to himself than to the red headed male.
"It is. She's the living proof of that." Eris told him.
"The sun?" Helion asked and received another nod from the red-headed male.
Helion couldn't tear his eyes from. You were looking at him with your golden eyes - his eyes.
He felt weak in his knees. Helion always wanted children, he knew that since the moment he met Elowyn but the world hasn't been kind to them.Â
By the Cauldron, he didn't even know Elowyn was pregnant. The last time they had seen each other was a little over ten months ago, but sometimes that happened, it had happened before.
When Beron was around a lot, it was difficult for her to leave without lifting any suspicions, so they would wait until they could.
Sometimes it took weeks, other times mouths, but Helion was patient, he would rather wait than risk her safety at Beron's rage.
But the wait was worthed because when they were together it was like the rest of the world disappeared and it was just the two of them. It was perfect.Â
*
The room was lit by the first rays of the morning sun and a gentle breeze came through the window.
The two lovers were together in bed. After a long night of passion and romance, the two were in each other's arms with nothing but a sheet protecting them from the breeze.
Elowyn laughed again at the tickling sensation. She hit Helion's arm that was holding her against his chest "Stop", but she couldn't stop laughing.
"Why would I do that when I can hear that magnificent sound?" Helion joined her laugh.
But Helion was right. Elowyn only laughed when she was with him, and that was one of the reasons why she loved him so much.
The Lady rested her head on the High Lord's chest and released a long sigh before giving voice to her thoughts. "I wish I woke up like this every morning." She adjusted her head on the male's chest so she could look at him. "With you."
Helion lowered his head to meet her beautiful brown eyes. "Me too." He said with a sad smile.Â
"Do you ever think about that? About how our life would be if we were together?" She asked him.
"Of course I do," he placed a hand on her hair and began to caress it as he spoke "The first thing I would do, would be to marry you and after making you my wife, I would make you my High Lady."
A smile began to form on her lips. "What else?"Â
He reciprocated the smile and continued, "Afterwards, we would have our honeymoon at the Summer Court because I know how much you would like to visit there. And then, I would show you every place of your new Court. The libraries, the pegasus, the entire Palace and my favorite places" He paused for a second, sadness starting to make its way to his features "I would make you feel like home, and I would make you feel loved, seen and heard every single day. I would give you anything you asked of me, Sunshine."
A tear fell from Elowyn's eyes, and her lip trembled a little. "That sounds perfect. It would be a dream come true."Â
Helion wiped her tears and told her "Yes it would be..." he gave her a weak smile. He, too, felt the pain of what they could only imagine."Would you like to hear the best part?"
When she nodded her head, he proceeded "After a few years of being married, if we were blessed enough and if you wanted, of course," he paused, a tear rolled down Helion's cheek "Children."
Elowyn didn't know what to say. Â
She had confessed to Helion a long time ago how she wished she had run away from her family and married him instead of her current husband. How she wished she had been strong enough to stand up to her father and how she wished all her sons were his.Â
Because this last confession was what held her back in Autumn, she was not capable of abandoning her sons and leaving them at the mercy of Beron.Â
She couldn't wait for the day when Eris killed him so she could finally be what she always wanted - Lady of the Day Court but in this case she would be High Lady as Helion had told her and she didn't doubt for a second of his words.
But unlike Helion, the first thing she would do wouldn't be to marry him but to accept the mating bond. That beautiful, golden, and magical mating bond.
She tugged on the bond and a second later Helion did the same, finding the words she was looking for she said to him "Of course I would have children with you, Helion, that's not even a question." She giggled. "Can you imagine? Little versions of you and me running around and causing trouble?"
Helion couldn't hold back the laughter that escaped at her words "They would be troublemakers, wouldn't they?"Â
Elowyn laughed even more "Of course they would be." Her laughter quieted and a hint of love adorned her face "Maybe I would finally have my little girl, I always wanted a daughter."
"Me too," Helion confessed, "I would name her after my mother in honor of her."
"Your mother was a remarkable female. It would be an honor to name our little sunshine after her." She said and dropped an arm around his waist.
"It would be my greatest achievement.'' He finished with a kiss on her forehead.Â
They spent the rest of the morning in bed talking about the future they wanted more than anything and expressed their love one more time until Elowyn had to leave.
What they didn't know at the moment was that it was the last time they would see each other for a really long time.
*
The memory surged through Helion's mind like a wave.Â
He remembers that day so well after all that day was only ten months ago. What a coincidence that on the last day they were together they talked about their future and their children and now, right in front of him, was their daughter.
Their little sunshine.
With a trembling voice, Helion spoke after a long time in silence "Can I hold her?"Â
"Of course." Eris was quick to respond and passed you to your fathers arms.Â
And that's when it happened. A moment that neither Helion nor Eris would ever forget.
In the second that you were in Helion's arms, both of your skins started glowing as bright as the sun had just a few hours ago.
The Day Court glow.Â
"Wow." Eris whispered, amazed at what was happening.
"Indeed. She really is mine." Without taking his eyes from you, Helion asked "What's her name?"
"Y/N."
And once again, the High Lord froze on his spot. He felt overwhelmed with all the emotions he was feeling at once - love, surprise, gratitude, shock and happiness.
Seeing the strange behavior of Helion, Eris spoke "What is it?"
Helion looked at the male with a smile "That's my mother's name. I told Elowyn once how if I ever had a daughter, I would want to name her after her."Â
Eris smiled at the kindness of his mother but he wasn't surprised, she was always like that.
"Elowyn." The High Lord of Day whispered.
Locking his gaze with the red-headed male, concern all written in his features at the well-being of the female he had been in love for centuries. He was so focused on you that he didn't remember to ask this earlier, "Elowyn. How is she?"
Eris released a long sigh. "Physically? She's fine but exhausted from the birth. Emotionally? She's a wreck, but I suppose that's normal considering her only daughter has to be sent away."
"What?"
"That's why I sent you that letter, Helion. I came to bring her to you." Eris said, a firm look on his face. "She can't stay in Autumn. No matter how much I want." He murmured the last part to himself, but if Helion noticed he didn't show. "And no one can know about her, about who her mother really is, we need to keep this from Beron."
He nodded his head, and he agreed with the young Heir. Of course, you couldn't stay there. He didn't even want to imagine what Beron would do if he found out about you.
At the thought of the horrible male, confusion settled on his face again. "Wait. What about Beron? Certainly, he's going to notice that his supposed child is missing."
"Don't worry about Beron. I took care of it." Eris tried to be as vague as possible.
"How?"Â
"You don't want to know besides that's not important right now. She is." He gestured to you, your skin still glowing and now grabbing one of Helion's fingers.
Eris gave a long breath, and then directed his gaze to you just for a second before raising it again to the High Lord "Are you going to take her?"
Helion scoffed, "What kind of question it's that?"
Eris released a long breath of relief, and a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He didn't doubt that the High Lord would refuse you, but he couldn't but be nervous at the same.
The Heir reached for the inside pocket of his coat and removed a letter, and Helion took his gaze from you to look at it.
"My mother wrote this for you. She told me to tell you to only read it once you're back home." He handed him the letter.
Helion's heart ached at the revelation of Elowyn calling his Court 'home'. He accepted the letter and thanked the red-headed male, and started making his way to leave.
But before he could, he stopped at the voice of the Heir calling for him. He turned around and faced him.
"I want to be part of her life." Eris confessed without hesitation.Â
"What? We just agreed that no one can know about her, Eris. And that includes you. She can't know you as her brother." Helion explained.
"I know that." Seeing the confused look Helion gave him, it was his turn to explain."She doesn't have to know me as her brother. A friend will be enough." He paused for a second "Beron just nominated me as Autumn's emissary which means I will be the one going to your Court for meetings so I want to take that as an opportunity to get to know her and to see her grow. That's my only condition, I already lost Lucien, and I'm not going to lose her either.'
"Very well. As long as you share those moments with Elowyn. That's my only condition too." Helion replied.Â
"Consider it done." Was the Heir's response.
Without further words, the two males parted away. One with a heart full and the other with an empty one.Â
Present
Helion's heart was no longer full. How could it be, when you, the best thing that ever happened to him was missing?
He saw the Inner Circle's face at the big revelation he had just told them.
Rhys broke the silence "Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped you."
Helion met his gaze. "I couldn't risk it. Y/N is my number one priority, and she'll always be, so I did everything I had to do in order to keep her safe. I have no regrets."
Feyre interlaced her fingers with Rhysand's and asked the High Lord, "Does she know?"
"Only that she's my daughter. She doesn't know about Elowyn or Eris or the rest of her brothers." Helion answered.
"She never mentioned anything," Mor replied.
"I told her not to. Y/N knows that she's my weakness and that if my enemies knew about her connection to me, they would use it as leverage. So I made sure no one outside of Day knew it, except Eris and Elowyn, not even her other brothers knew it." Helion explained.
"So how did Beron find out?" It was Azriel's turn to say.
"I don't-" Helion began, but before he could continue, the Autumn Heir winnowed to their side.
As soon as Eris' eyes met Helion's, he marched towards him.
The Heir was angry, and he didn't spare a glance at the Inner Circle.Â
With a firm voice, Eris demanded, "Where is she? Where is my sister?!"
Author's note: Thank you for reading! I didn't put the Helion x LoA pairing because I didn't want to give too much away. These two are one of my favorite ships, and they deserve their happy ending. đ Anyways, the beautiful dividers belong to @tsunami-of-tears Â

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished |
ăTwisted Wonderland x Elphaba!Readeră
[you the wicked witch from the west had died, but to your surprise you had woken up inside a coffin in an unfamiliar world. You had also noticed your magic had more freedom and your power seem to mix to those in this world]
< FYI : no Fiyero doesn't exist in your OZ world, you are completly alone, >
âąâş. âËâ§âęˇęŚęˇââ§Ëââš.âąâąâş. âËâ§âęˇęŚęˇââ§Ëââš.âąâąâş. âËâ§âęˇęŚęˇââ§Ëââš.âą
you had accepted your fate to be painted as the villain and died by a very underhand method such as being thrown water. That pesky girl who has killed your sister, and the con who had framed you the real magician. You had tried your best to help everybody and every creature from a crueler fate, only for those same people to go against you, going as far as holding a witch hunt for you.
Fated to be scorned just for the green hue of your skin, something you had no control over. Such a heinous thing humanity is. you could hear the party that they will throw over your death, No one mourns for the wicked, save for your best friend, Glinda, who had been wiser than to judge based on appearance, a true friend. Unfortunately, she too was unable to save you from your grueling fate.
Yet here you are, trapped in a coffin.
"Have I finally died?" you thought. What more does God want from you, did They think that punishment is not enough for you?
you scoffed at the thought.
You were startled when the lid was suddenly slammed open by a racoon? Cat? looking creature with fire ears demanding your robe?
' Did this creature think this robe on me is going to fit him?'
'Also where did this robe come from? and did he think that by giving the robe he was going to let a woman bare naked? what a crazy guy'
so, you ran, pulling the hood, as you thought it is better for no body to find out that you are horrendious green from head to toe, and finding yourself in an impressive library. The creature had cornered you Just before the headmage trapped him in his leash using his power.
"Ah, i've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students." he then went on and on about how you should've controlled your familiar.
" Woah! we never have a student as... green as you.. how unusual." he said upon seeing your hand. You quickly covered your hand with your robe just as you had covered your face.
" that is alright, Here in NIght Raven collage we accept everybody just as how they are as long as they are chosen by the mirror of course."
He then forced you to go back to the room with coffin. There you found a lot of students wearing the same robe as you.
' is this the same type of school as Shiz University?'
The headmage, Crowley end his bickering with some other students before beckoning you to move to the mirror. You had yourself walk foward to the strange talking mirror. As strange as your original world is you had never seen a magical talking mirror. Sure, a talking face, but it is a mechanic created to be an illusion by that horrible con, Oz.
you hated the attention that is suddenly drafted towards you, you slouch as you reached the Dark mirror.
" The nature of your soul is........ unclear to me."
" what did you say?!"
" sure i can sense a magical power residing on this girl, yet it is unfamiliar, strange, foreign.. i have never encounter this sort of power in my whole life. therefore no dorm is appropriate."
Dorm? Magic power? what the hell is this mirror on about.
" Are you suggesting the black carriage went to receive a Girl?! and with a strange magic? Absurd! the student selection process has not erred once in its century of existence! how could this happened?!"
"HMMPH! ME! Let me have this student place!" the creature who called himself Grim had broken free from the leash. He then started insisting and creating a huge chaos.
in a panic you noticed you still have your grimore with you. odd i thought i had given this to Glinda to protect. you quickly flip over the pages.
you found and recite a spell for the target to follow your word for a brief minute just before the little guy breathe his flame towards a red eyed boy.
"Sit boy, down."
to your surprise most of the students and the headmage himself had fallen down to their butt sitting as they looked bewildred.
" a... i meant that creature not you."
"RAGHHHH!! UNHAND ME UNHAND MEE!" Grim shrilled.
" how... HOW DARE YOU? UNHAND ME THIS INSTANT!" said the red hair boy
" impossible..." said the pretty glasses guy.
" How brazen of you to order Me around, I will rip you into pieces." said the lion eared guy. odd he reminded you of that cowardly lion you had saved, such ungrateful creature whomst had blamed his cowardice on you.
" You! How dare you make me touch the floor!" said the gorgeous blind guy with purple tip.
"Whoaa?!! i am on the floor?!! How??" the boy with the bandana wrapped around his white hair exclaimed.
" Wuh WHAAA.. what is this ssr op power?! scary..." the floating tablet shouted.
" To be casted with a spell how unruly the new student this year is. OH, woe is me... Uncast me this instant!!!"
The other students had started to cuzz profanities at you as well making you more nervous. ' Ah its this again, everytime i tried to help.. i get punished..'
you fumbled around confused as usually in your world the enchantment would only work towards the target intended and usually the enchantment you practied were a permanent one, you hoped this won't last long.
" don't tell me you do not know how to unchant your spell?"
"uhhh..."
thank fully in a moment your enchantment is broken as the headmage start to stand up and dust himself, so as the other students.
The red haired boy spring up and start to point his gem pen? towards you.
" OFF WITH YOUR HE--"
" that won't be necessary Mr. Roseheart. Now you!"
The bird feathered headmage ripped oven your hood as he exposed you to the whole school followed with gasps acrossm the room.
" she is green?!"
" i never seen a green person before."
You grow weary and insecure as you tried to remove the headmage hold on you.
"I'm sorry i didn't mean to, But i acted in panic because this cuz is going to fire his flame to that white haired guy!" you defended yourself.
" haaa.. for now throw this creature out of the game. and the ceremony should end here." he said as you saw students following the guys somewhere.
" now you come with me.."
he tried to bring you back where you came from to no avail so he settle for you to reside in the abandoned dorm, of course that is interrupted by the same creature. although, your impression of him seem to falter as he was obedient towards you and you found his catlu behaviour rather cute, so you dont mind to have him as your companion. Crowley explain the situation to you, but since you are a girl you are still exempt from the courses and sadly are forced towards cleaning duty. He of course didn't hear you when you state that you had died in your world and so his agreement are something you can't refuse.
The next day you are met with Ace and his cocky personality trying to get even with the incident at the opening ceremony, you, not wanting to throw another chaos, refrain from using your spells since you had not learn the extend of the effect of this world to your power, but of course, Grim had to assert himself and created the chaos for you.
You are then met with Deuce who had helped you catch the running criminal trying to run away from his job, this of course before the chase went on and you three ended up breaking the expensive rare chandelier and had to find the replacement stone. and the story goes.
that is the story of how you become a NRC student with your trusty companion or familiar, Grim and how you and grim, with your fellow 1st year whom you meet along the way have an epic adventure to deal with overblots.
>> to be continued<<

I feel moved to speak, sooner rather than later because I believe time is of the essence and this needs to be understood in order to keep Moonvale from crumbling to the ground completely.
This is not completely spoiler heavy, but it will discuss the game. I should note that unfortunately I have not finished the episode because I am struggling with the mini games in making progress. So I do not know how the episode ends, but I need to say this in order for me to rest.
I am very angry and disappointed with this game, and even more than that, I hold a great deal of second hand embarrassment for Everbyte.
One of the greatest reasons I respected these developers during Duskwood is that the game never felt like a cash grab like so many games do these days. The option to make a one time payment for complete access to Duskwood was fantastic, an option they should have carried to here and that is the biggest grievance I have.
There is no reason a game should cost hundreds of dollars to experience and enjoy. There is no reason for the prices of gems to be as expensive as they are. This is unacceptable Everbyte, and you should feel ashamed of it, you should know better.
The beauty of Duskwood and what set it apart was its feel of realism and the fact that every question had a reasonable answer. Your use of AI art has cheapened the look of your game, not enhanced it, not to mention itâs insulting to use generated art when there are many artists who are already losing jobs to AI, artists who would have been happy to work with you if given the chance. If the cost of commission is too high, then use of stock photos you had before was just fine, and I believe you should have kept it, I canât look at Ash and Charlieâs profiles without it striking me as goofy.
Furthermore, the story does not make sense, we were able to read chats because Jake made it possible for us, now it just feels like the return of a gimmick with no explanation, the same with the mini games, in the past we did mini games to âhackâ into Hannahâs cloud, now we do it âjust becauseâ. Itâs lost its feeling of meaning, not to mention most private chats are behind the gem paywall, which we never had to deal with before!
The characters seem more plain to me, or maybe they are loveable but Iâll never know because again, paywall. I canât read the premium options and get to know them deeper because of it. There are also no profiles like before, which is awful because we canât look back on past video calls and links and we canât see what these characters are all about, their personality is gone.
Even MCâs answer options seem blander, more vanilla, repetitive or one directional.
I say this truthfully from my soul, if this was the style of of game you dropped but for Duskwood instead, I never would have played it.
I would have never fallen in love with it.
I would have never made this blog and would never have waited years for every episode and a new game.
I would have never made art and countless theories.
I would have deleted the game immediately.
So Iâm asking you, begging you, please change this for our sakes, and especially for yours.
Because despite all my gripes and anger, and everything Iâve said, I know you guys have actually worked hard on this game because the evidence is there, hidden beneath it all.
I love the actual real life people you have for Adam and Eric, I was so moved to help Adam when he started to cry. I want to know why he knows us and wants our help. I laughed when Eric told us he had tripped, and I do want to get to know him. I even wished to lovingly twist Charlieâs neck! That is the game I remember loving, its writing and characters, I can see the potential here.
But you need to change something, otherwise I cannot support this game, I cannot force myself to play it. I will drop Moonvale.
Give the players a one time payment option for 100% complete access to the game, access to all premium options. Thatâs the least I feel anyone could ask of you and is biggest reason you are getting this backlash.
To my fellow players, if you agree with any of what I said then I ask you not to pay for anything until Everbyte changes to make their game more affordable. Donât be quiet and please voice your opinions everywhere they can see it. Thatâs the only way something could change.
I am so sorry this is what we got⌠you all deserve better.

hi, im an 18 year old pre-transition trans guy and ive grown up in an incredibly repressive fundie household which has caused me to really struggle both socially and with my sexual development. ive been homeschooled nearly my whole life and am currently getting everything set up to enroll for college this fall, this will be my first time living away from my abusive household and im very nervous about it..
anyhow, im in a really really weird situation right now. because of my shelteredness ive always been extremely isolated irl, ive never had a consensual romantic or sexual experience irl and all of my friends are online friends. well, one of my online friends (a cis guy who i knew from an online forum) and i started fooling around a bit, flirting and then eventually very explicit conversations, trading nudes and sexual video calls. we were extremely emotionally close and the relationship was pseudo-romantic but we both agreed we didn't want to do online dating after both of us having a bad experience with it previously.
this whole situation allowed me to experiment sexually more than i ever have, and i really felt more sexually confident than i ever have.
when we met, he told me he was freshly 19. and for the whole relationship i was under that impression, he didn't give me any reason to doubt it. but two days ago he couldn't handle lying anymore and revealed that he was 15. needless to say that was an incredible shock and i dealt with it as responsibly as i think i can.
the reason i'm coming to you about this is because i feel really weird about the whole thing, i dont blame myself for believing him and im not mad at him because i understand what lead him to those choices, but now i feel really awkward about all of the good things i got out of the situation before the reveal.. this was my first time ever really doing "real" sexual stuff with someone (beyond just texting i mean, i had never exchanged nudes or done vidoe calls like that before) everything sexual i encounter now makes me feel awkward because of all of this, its really weird and uncomfortable and i don't know what to do :(
im not sure what im hoping to get out of telling you this but i can't really talk about this to anyone else i feel like, so i guess i just wanted to get it off my chest
(if anyone responds to this accusing me of taking advantage of him or not handling the situation correctly, firstly you have basically no context and secondly you don't know what i did to take care of the situation. let me and my close friends be the ones to judge how i handled it, this is an extremely complicated situation for me to be in and you being judgmental does nothing positive for it.)
hi anon,
oofah doofah, what a sucky situation.
I totally understand feeling grossed out by the reveal; those feelings are real and deserve recognition. it's not nice to be lied to, especially when the truth casts all of your previous experiences in a totally different light - and a much scarier one, since you could very well have been breaking the law by exchanging nudes with a 15 year old, depending on where you live! this person could have gotten you in huge trouble by lying, which makes this whole situation that much worse.
having said that, you don't need to feel good about having had a good time and having gotten some positive experiences out of this dynamic. you were enjoying a relationship that you had every reason to believe was above board and it did great things for your sexual confidence! that's not retroactively untrue just because you were being misled; all of the good things you felt are still real.
think of it this way: when a couple breaks up there's often a urge to feel that they've been wasting their time together, that all of the energy and devotion they brought to their relationship was ultimately a waste because they didn't die together in bed holding hands at the tender age of 107. but that isn't true! no relationship is a waste of time, and even when things don't work out, that doesn't mean the good things didn't count. every time those people made each other laugh, everything they encouraged each other to try, every new thing they experienced together, every time they had sex, every meal they shared - all of these are real and matter and helped shape them for the better, even if they ended up parting ways as romantic partners.
the same is true for you. take your time to sit with your hurt at this loss and betrayal of your trust, but don't throw the good out with the bad. this wasn't ultimately a good relationship for you, but that doesn't mean it brought nothing of value into your life, and you can carry what you learned about yourself forward with you as you seek more appropriate partners :)

Cairo Sweet Comfort Headcanons
Cairo Sweet x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Angst, fluff, comfort, Cairo being manipulative, mentions of writing porn, R being sad, Mr. Miller
Requested
(This kinda became more of a Drabble than headcanons but it is a list of how she comforts reader)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cairo may have always been mean. Mean to anyone infact. But she never tries to be mean to you.
-For the longest time Cairo denied her feelings for you, saying they were wrong and that she was confused.
-Her feelings for you wouldnât go away though, she pushed you away at a young age and you came back with a massive glow up. She fell even harder. Her new best friend Winnie tells her maybe you are the one instead of her professor, Mr. Miller.
-Ever since Mr. Miller brought up a madmanâs love sheâs been fascinated by how he described it. She felt things for him then. Winnie urged it on with how a older manâs pride is his sex, how he takes virginity well. It corrupted Cairo.
-You on the other hand, weâre jealous and disgusted at this. Irritated some old guy could manage to make her be so obsessed. Youâre irritants caught Cairoâs eye, seeing how youâd challenge Miller during his lectures or how youâd send glares at him.
-Besides this. After all this, Cairo was certainly confused. She came to you, crying and claimed she wanted you. She needed you after Miller rejected her. Even if she lied to you and maybe even used you, you still took her back into your arms.
-Along the lines of becoming girlfriends, sheâs been good about giving you the affection you should receive in a relationship. She tries to make you feel loved and cared for while you do the same for her
-There are moments where she just canât take it anymore and bursts her anger out at you, calling you names, insulting you, making you feel bad about being with her
-It breaks your heart when she acts like this, though you let it slide most days when she does apologize. Which is rareâŚsadly
-As you being a wonderful girlfriend youâre always there for her. Giving her the chance to be in your open arms if she needs it, and she does come to you sometimes.
-She has a hard time opening up, too. Sheâs never really talked about herself, how she likes life, how she feels mentally and physically, or about her parents. Yet sheâs opened that up to someone who didnât even want her, Miller of all people. It made you rage.
-Although you gave Cairo time to talk to you, respected what was meant to be kept hidden. One thing that bothered you is that sheâd always be in that journal of hers, writing god knows what. More porn? More fantasies with Miller? Talking shit about you? You never know and are afraid to ask
-Cairo is also a scary person. Sheâs always terrified you, even as a kid. Her threats always become real, sheâs incredibly manipulative and can destroy you in a week. You prefer to keep off her bad side.
-One time you angered her so much she combusted and threatens sheâd harm you. Physically too. It never happened luckily, that just says how much she cares for you without you even knowing it.
-And Cairo, could never ever ever harm you physically. Mentally, yeah probably. She can be selfish at times. But she never will hurt you physically, it would break her heart if she ever laid a hand on you.
-Letâs get into that category. If Cairo ever did harm you physically, wether it was a slap across the face, a shove or maybe even a punch. Sheâd have so much regret right after.
-There was a time she wasnât having it. She slapped you, and dear god did it hurt. Left a red mark on your left cheek, making you hold back tears because you didnât want to seem like a baby in front of her.
-âWait, my love I didnât mean it. I swear I didnât mean it.â Sheâd say immediately after sheâd regret it. Kissing you on the head if you let her, caressing the spot she smacked gently. Sheâs lay down with you and kiss you all over, explaining why she did that.
-She wouldnât let harming you slide by her, ever.
-Now Mentally. It hurts, it honestly hurts worse being hurt on the inside rather than the outside sometimes. With Cairo having that ability to make someone so upset, it can hurt real bad. She broke Winnieâs heart, real bad. And if she did it to you itâd take time for her to regret it, depending on what you did or how she feels
-When you weâre both younger, she pushed you away because of her parents. They were strict, and when they had a fight with your parents they immediately blocked you out. But that didnât stop you from seeing Cairo
-You went to her house, sneaking into her bedroom. She was found sobbing while trying to sleep, and it was late at night:
âCairo?â You spoke above a whisper. She recognized your voice, sitting up as she looked over at you in shock. âWhatâre you doing here? My parents told you to stay away.â She cried, hiding her face. âAnd donât look at me, I look awful.â
Cairo wasnât an ugly crier at all, she just hated crying in front of people. âCai, just because youâre parents push me away doesnât mean I wonât stop seeing you.â
âYeah well maybe thatâs whatâs best.â
Those words hit you like a truck going eighty miles per hour. Cairo never talked at you like that before, especially basically telling you to leave her. âBut Cai, I canât leave you. Youâre my best friend, I love you.â You confessed. Though those words meant nothing to her then.
They do now
-Every time Cairo sees you with those glistening eyes, filled with tears she always thinks of that night. That night she told you to leave. To never come back. And it hurt her when you listened, but she never came to you when it hurt.
-Because thatâs who she is, how sheâs always been. She hated sharing her feelings, the only way she would share her feelings, is by making people suffer with her. Thatâs how she did it with Winnie, Mr. Miller. You.
âI donât understand, why canât you just talk to me?â You asked, standing in the middle of her bedroom.
âBecause I donât want you to know. Itâs something I keep to myself.â She replied, her left hand holding her journal, and the other with a pen.
âBut why? You can talk to me, if you donât talk to me maybe counseling is better off to help you.â She scoffed at your words, sheâd rather vent to a beetle than ďżźa therapist or a counselor.
âI write in my journal, thatâs where my story goes.â Well that makes you relieved. She isnât talking shit about you or writing about her fantasies with someone else.
âI understand, but Iâm here for you. Weâve been together for six months, and I am still waiting to hear your voice even if it sounds broken when you speak.â
Cairo though to herself. She knew how much she was hurting you mentally by not talking to you, telling you she was either okay or not okay.
âIf you can at least tell me if you are okay or not okay. Thatâs fine.â You pause, âI love you, Cairo. Youâre the moon to my Saturn.â Tears were running down your face. âAnd it hurts, hurts knowing how I think Iâm not good enough for you. If itâs my fault that youâre scared. Iâm scared too, Cai.â
It was silent, but only for a moment.
âIâm sorry, Y/n.â Cairo sobbed, âI just donât want to push you away. I love you too, I love you so much. And all the bad things Iâve done, have made me stop talking about them or my problems.â
-That very day Cairo opened up to you. You held her the entire time, comforting her, rubbing her back, kissing her tears away. Telling her itâs okay to not be okay. She talked to you slowly about things, only opening so much and you kept that respect.
-You gave her one big kiss after each session. You were her lover, her therapist, her best friend, her girlfriend, her future wife, her everything. She loves you. But sometimes love is hard to show when youâve had a broken heart for quite some time.
-Most nights were kept peaceful, sad, private and loving. Wether itâd end with promise kisses or making love.
-Her comfort is nothing but a song that started as a melody and become stronger as you promise to be there for her. As well as sheâd return it.
-Maybe replace that all with a madwomanâs love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I really hope this is good because I felt like I did fast, I even reread it over and over to make sure I got everything I could possibly put in đ
But I was also emotional making this, I got way to into it
I also had more time than I thought I would lmao

Heyy I thought of this and its kinda weirdly specific so sorry if its weird
a fluff where reader (fem) had an 'almond mom' growing up and bill finds out she never tried any fast food and fizzy drinks so he takes her to a Mcdonalds drive through and she tries everything and really likes it and idk what else but something along these lines?
ily btwđ
ᥣđŠ mackyâs feast endeavours
youâve never been one to indulge into the many delicacies of food. it was always kept pretty simple, pretty plain, and most importantly; pretty small. your mom was an extreme one whoâd instil the emphasis of portion control and nutritional value, none of that fast food junk. oh god no.
now it wasnât like you totally had the worst relationship with food. you just ate it to, eat it. simply curve the natural instincts of hunger and then go on with your day.
bill had no knowledge of it, but he did have some suspicions. whenever you guys were to go out to eat and grab food with either the band or just the two of you, you never ordered anything too exquisite, too loaded. small portions, barely any flavours, and it mostly consisted of greens. at this point, he was convinced that you were some rabbit.
so to his obvious surprise, when he asked you, âhave you ever had a mcdouble, like, ever in your life?â and you shook your head no, his chin for real dropped to the ground. you had to explain to him that because of your upbringings, you were never really privileged with the so-called delicacies of sugary sweets and treats of fizzy sodas and a simple cheeseburger.
âoh no.. oh nonono i gotta take you right nowâitâs the best thing ever!!â he exclaims while dragging you on your feet, beelining for the car. by the way, itâs 2am
youâve never seen him so excited before, the whole car ride and i swear i mean the WHOLE car ride, bill was nonstop ranting about the menu and the millions of things that you two can try together. you canât help but smile, heâs so cute. the pitch of his voice gets all high and squeaky. and he speaks fast, almost too fast that you as him to slow down, to which he finds himself becoming bashful over how passionate he is about mcdonalds.
pulling into the drive-thru, you stare at the enlarged kiosk of the mcdonalds menu, âdo you know what you want to order? did i explain everything? oh, thatâs what you want? waitâno, that one? fuck it iâll just get everything!!â
you were indecisive, overwhelmed with the many varieties of what could be a burger, what drink to get, a soda or a milkshake? ooooh what about a side? chicken nuggets or fries?
bill on the other hand, knew exactly what to order. for him, a mcdonalds connoisseur, he gets a big mac, specifically six chicken nuggets, and a vanilla milkshake. classic, you thought to yourself. while passing through the first window to pay, you take out cash to give to bill for your portion of the food, he immediately holds his hand over yours, squeezing it.
ây/n, my treat. i want your first time to be memorable. âm the one who took you out, so let me pay, please? also, so youâre definitely the only person iâd do this for, donât tell tom, okay?â you couldnât fight back since he asked so politely. and knowing bill, heâd never make you pay. later, youâll think of a way to repay him the favour.
Ë ŕź ŕłâ・Ë
sitting on the curb of the parking lot, the two of you sat beside one another as bill began to pull out the food items one-by-one from their signature paper bag. the scent of the food wafts as he passes you a cheeseburger, youâre already salivating at the mouth, impatient to try it.
âsmells good right? enjoy!â you open the carton to reveal a small burger, the bun almost perfect. bill places a beverage to the side of you, âcola! a classic, thought youâd like it for sure,â âthank you billy.. i really appreciate you doinâ this fâme.â
he shakes his head but smiles, âhow could i not?? my best friend deserves this! no hate to your mom, but she was definitely punishing you by hiding this.. yâkno, i get sooo much mcdonalds, like, everyday, even more than that fatty tom! my grandma calls me macky âşď¸,â he nods his head in approval to that nickname, how adorable. you think it fits him quite well.
awaiting, bill watches as you begin to take a bite of the burger. flavour runs over your tongue as youâve felt like you just consumed ambrosia. your tastebuds are dancing, very joyous indeed. your eyes widen and you physically gasp with food in your mouth as you look at bill. thereâs a glint in your eyes but his shines brighter to see such a positive reaction out of you.
it makes him happy to know that he could be there to see you enjoy what he loves. you end up taking more consecutive bites out of the burger until it was completely gone. scarfing it down, you chew, no words shared between the two of you as you both muck on whatâs know become one of your favourite foods.
who knows? maybe this could become a daily thing, pray for your wallets, âoh my god.. this is so fucking good!?â âi know right??âoh wait, thereâs a little sumnâ on your face..â
bill reaches out his hand to swipe away at the sauce thatâs stuck on the corner of your mouth. seems as though you lost control of how messily you were eating that there was food on your face.
his touch was soft, gentle. as he uses his thumb to clean you off, he brings it into his mouth to lick off the remains as if it were nothing. you stare at him in shock, mouth, again, full of food as you were stunned and in no way capable of speaking. that was so, action forward. a heat transforms to your face as bill stares at you, innocently confused.
âwhat?â he asks, eyebrows a little furrowed as you lack a response. then, the realization hit him. what he did, was in fact, veryyyy intimate. hiding his face in his hands, he feels like he wants to scream. you notice his ears burning a vibrant pink, as he taps his feet in embarrassment.
he peeks at you through his fingers, âsorry! it was just instinct, i-i didnât mean to, uh, do that..â he struggles to hold eye contact with you, putting a chicken nugget in his mouth.
giggling at him, you take a sip from your large coca cola, smiling with the straw between your teeth. putting the cup down on the ground, you lean in to place a small kiss on billâs cheek âitâs okay, thank you billy, really, the food was amazing,â waiting for his reaction, he sits there still as a statue, until immediately slapping a hand onto the cheek you kissed him.
âyouâre blushing, bill,â
âshut up before i eat all your food.â
nomnomnom , good eats .. ily 2 anon
keis makes an appearance once more !! how many more until she quits :p jk iâm just overly consumed by work

dreamer â carlos sainz
track 1 of my bewitched department
pairing: carlos sainz x old friend!reader
summary: you leave the city searching a meaning to your life, founding an old friends instead
word count: 2K
warnings: carlos isn't a driver, just a really rich guy with hobbies
a/n: here's the first track of my bewitched department <33 i love reader and carlos so so much tbh
masterlist | wattpad | letterboxd
"I'm sick of all this, Natalie," Y/N declared, throwing her phone on the sofa. Her roommate diverted her gaze from the TV to her. "It's the fourth guy that ghosted me after I ask him out."
"Become a lesbian," said Natalie, turning her attention back to the movie.
Y/N let out a sigh. "I should. I'm tired of all men being assholes and manipulators."
She grimaced, thinking that maybe the problem wasn't men but her. She had studied Art History and had been the best in her class. Now, at 28, she was sharing an apartment and teaching preteens who called her 'ma'am.' Was she wasting her life?
"I need a change," she said to herself.
"The smell goes away with a shower, don't worry." Natalie looked at her, wrinkling her nose.
"No, damn it. A change in my routine," she explained. Nevertheless, she took a sniff at her armpit, regretting it. She'd shower later. "I need to get out of here."
She stood up, grabbed her phone, and headed to her room.
"Hey? And where are you going, if I may ask?" said Natalie, following her.
"Anywhere!" Y/N shrugged. She drank a glass of water and took out a couple of pieces of clothing. "I need to change the scenery as soon as possible, I'm stuck."
She pulled a small suitcase from her closet while her roommate rolled her eyes.
"Y/N, you can't just leave suddenly. Don't you have classes tomorrow?"
Y/N paused for a moment and then shrugged again. "I'll ask for the day off. The week, actually."
"The week!" exclaimed Natalie. Y/N was already looking at flights on her phone when Natalie covered her screen. "Y/N, you don't have the financial or mental stability for this!"
Y/N swatted Natalie's hand away to see her phone screen.
"Madrid is very cheap this time of year," she said, with a small smile.
"But you don't even speak Spanish!"
Y/N boarded a plane to Madrid with the idea of not talking to any men that week. This trip was for her, to reconnect with herself, the Y/N she had lost over the years.
She still didn't have a place to stay, but she would resolve that on the go. The journey from the airport to central Madrid was tedious; she didn't know how the metro worked and people ignored her like she was nothing. Frustrated, she sat in a cafĂŠ. She looked up things to do in Madrid on her phone, but soon the battery died, and she was sure she had forgotten her charger at the apartment.
She let out a long sigh and ran her hands over her face. As she opened her eyes, she heard a voice.
"Y/N?"
She looked up immediately, surprised that someone knew who she was in Madrid. When she met the gaze of the individual, she recognized him instantly.
"Carlos?"
She stood up immediately, greeting him. Was he a man? Yes but Carlos and she had gone to university together; they had been friends for several years. Probably best friends, though they never talked about it. He hadn't changed much; he looked older but in a positive way, with a more flattering haircut and surprisingly stronger.
"What are you doing here?" Carlos asked, leaning in for a short hug.
"On vacation," Y/N nodded. Running into him had instantly lifted her spirits.
"Damn, I haven't seen you in⌠six years?" Carlos tilted his head a bit.
"Since graduation, right?"
They both nodded; it had been quite a while. Long enough to realize they had lost contact too soon.
"I didn't expect to see you in Madrid," commented Carlos, with a smile.
"It was a last-minute decision," explained Y/N, wrinkling her nose a bit. She formed a smile. "I'm glad to see you, really. Do you want to sit for a bit?" she suggested, pointing to the empty chair.
"I'd love to," Carlos accepted the invitation immediately, sitting down.
A waiter approached, and Carlos ordered a coffee to accompany Y/N's.
"Well, tell me, what have you been up to all these years?" Carlos asked, crossing one leg.
Y/N told him a bit of everything, very sweetened. That she was teaching Geography and History at a public school, that her family was fine, and they reminisced about the time Carlos practically crashed her Christmas party because Carlos Sainz Senior was mad at him for his grades and that she was happy living in her city.
Carlos told her that he now worked at his father's company as an executive.
"Oh, I thought youâd be doing something related to what we studied," Y/N pressed her lips a bit, somewhat disappointed that Carlos hadn't continued doing what they both loved.
"I would have loved to⌠but there were very few job opportunities. And I didn't want to be a teacher, so I played it safe," admitted Carlos, shrugging a bit. For a moment, he thought Y/N would judge him for it, but her sweet and calm expression told him otherwise.
"Understandable not wanting to be a teacher," agreed Y/N, before sipping her coffee.
"Is it tough?" Carlos mimicked her, lifting his cup too.
Y/N shook her head a bit. "I'm sure there are worse things. But having a twelve-year-old try to cut your hair because his dad is bald is rather curious."
Carlos almost choked on his coffee from the sudden laughter. "Really?" He tried to stifle the laughter as best as he could, but Y/N was already glaring at him.
"No, no. It's not funny, it happens every damn day," she nodded vigorously. Carlos let out a laugh that ended up being contagious for Y/N too.
The conversation continued for the rest of the afternoon. It was like going back to university for a few hours, a time she missed a lot. When they decided to get up from the table, they had finished four coffees and at least one glass of wine. It was even starting to get cold outside.
"Shall I walk you to your hotel?" Carlos asked with a smirk.
Y/N grimaced, remembering she still hadn't sorted that out. She bit the inside of her cheek, embarrassed. "I haven't booked a hotel room yet."
"Oh," he pursed his lips and quickly said, "You can stay at my place, I have a spare room."
Y/N, hearing him speak, was already shaking her head. "No, no, no. I don't want to bother you."
Carlos clicked his tongue, looking away for a moment.
"How are you going to bother me? Come on, bring your suitcase. My car is parked nearby."
Y/N was intrigued by Carlos's initiative but kept shaking her head.
"Really, it's not necessary, Carlos," Y/N extended her arms a bit for Carlos to return her suitcase, but he even moved it away from her hands. "I'll manage."
She said that last part to ease him a bit, but it only sounded like she needed more help.
"Y/N, I'm not going to leave you out on the street," Carlos put his hands on his hips and she let out a sigh. "That's not very gentlemanly of me."
"You were never a gentleman, you idiot," noted Y/N. Carlos smiled, knowing that if Y/N started to insult you, she was about to agree with you. "Alright, but just for one night. Then I'll find a hotel."
"Whatever you say, cariĂąo," Carlos smiled triumphantly, and Y/N tried to hide her smile while he put her suitcase in the trunk.
His apartment was huge, truly huge. A dream kitchen, a large living room, and definitely more than one spare room. As they entered, a beautiful brown and white dog greeted them, heading straight for Carlos's legs.
"And who is this?" said Y/N, petting his head a bit, enough for the animal to focus all its attention on her. He sniffed Y/N's shoes and licked the hems of her pants.
"His name is Piùón," said Carlos with a smile, surprised that Piùón hadn't started barking because of a stranger's presence. "I adopted him almost after we graduated."
Y/N crouched, petting Piùón's neck and behind his ears. "Hi, Piùón. You're so pretty."
"I'll show you the room," Carlos said.
Y/N got up, giving PiĂąon one last pet. "Thank you, really. I feel like an abandoned cat, but thank you."
They both chuckled softly.
"It's nothing," Carlos said as they went to the room.
Y/N left her suitcase in a corner and turned to Carlos. "Do you have a charger?"
She felt like she was taking advantage of him too much, even if it was just for a charger, she felt bad.
"Of course, here," Carlos handed her the charger, their hands touched for a millisecond. She tried so hard not to feel anything. He kept a flirty smile. "Are you hungry?"
"Well, yes," Y/N nodded. "But give me a few minutes and I'll help you cook."
Y/N took a couple of things out of her suitcase and went back to the kitchen to help Carlos. They quickly cooked some pasta with burrata. Y/N noticed how Carlos would get close to her or brush his hands against hers casually.
While cutting some tomatoes, the knife slipped from Carlosâs hand. "Shit!" Carlos looked at the cut and put his finger in his mouth, letting out several whimpers.
"Did you cut yourself?" Y/N went over to him, Carlos took his finger out of his mouth, showing her a small cut. Y/N pursed her lips, remembering how dramatic he could be. "It's nothing, Carlos. It's barely bleeding."
Y/N cradled his hand, gently caressing his fingers almost unconsciously. The room went silent, Carlos looked into her eyes, he adored that look. Y/N lifted her eyes, connecting them with Carlosâs. He leaned toward her, listening to her breathing and matching his to it.
"Can I kiss you?"
The question hung in the air. Y/N held her breath. This was the opposite of what she wanted. She blinked and slightly opened her mouth. To Carlos, it felt like an eternity.
"I'm sorry," Y/N said in a faint voice. She looked at him with pity and Carlos stepped back, feeling more embarrassed than ever. "It's just⌠it's not the right time. I'm in a bit of a strange phase and things aren't going well for me, I don't want to mess things up for you." Y/N fidgeted with her rings as she said it.
"I understand," Carlos said, nodding slowly. "I shouldn't have asked you that, it was out of place."
"No, I should have told you before," she contradicted, with a grimace.
"Don't worry," he said. "It's just thatâŚ," Carlos hesitated a bit. "In college I had a huge crush on you and seeing you again brought everything back."
Y/N blinked, absorbing those words. She had always wondered why Carlos barely dated any girls during their time in college, it never crossed her mind it could be because of her.
"You had a crush on me?"
"You didn't know?"
"NoâŚ"
"Damn, we spent so much time together,"
"Because we were friends! That's what friends do!"
They both laughed and Carlos leaned against the counter, crossing his arms.
"So, you're not having a good time?" he inquired, with a calm look.
Y/N lowered her gaze. "I'm trying to sort out my life."
"I understand," he bit the inside of his cheek. "Anyway, if once you sort out your life you feel like going on a date, I haven't changed my number."
That felt so good in Y/N's chest, as if her heart expanded a little. She laughed like a fool, taking a few steps back.
"I'm going to go to sleep,"
"You're not having dinner with me?" Carlos extended his arms, with a sad look.
"Maybe tomorrow," Y/N turned around and smiled over her shoulder before disappearing down the hallway.

Will you be Mine?
pairing: bang chan x reader
word count: 738
warnings: none
genre: fluff
a/n: iâm so sorry for not posting for longer than a month. had some exams and then i forgot to post. sorryyy!! to make it up to yâall, hereâs a fluffy one [which took 2 weeks to write] hope yâall like this one and enjoooy <3
i walked around the vast courtyard, waiting for my boyfriend, Ha-joon to finally come. heâs a⌠i guess you could say heâs a bad boy, but heâs not that bad, honestly.
heâs sweet and caring when he wants to be, but if you piss him off, he can turn your world into a living hell.
but the thing is, iâm not dating Ha-joon because i like him. okay, maybe i do now, just a little bit, but i have a soft spot for this other guy. and that spot has been there for a really long time.
that guy is Bang Chan and he happens to be my best friend.
but sadly, i have no chance with him. because one, iâm his best friend. nothing more. and two, he has a girlfriend. Kang Ga-young.
sheâs pretty, a bitch, stuck up and spoiled. the thing that bothers me the most? i saw her cheating on Chan. even more sadly, i canât tell him, because heâll accuse me of trying to break him, and the âlove of his lifeâ up.
canât you see youâre the love of my life?
Ha-joon finally showed up. ten minutes later til the bell rings, and who was clinging to his arm? whispering things in his ear? a glowing smile on her face, was none other than Kang stuck up Ga-young.
a rage of fury, furious-er than ever, boiled my blood. by boyfriend, even if we werenât a real thing, and Chanâs girlfriend. Even if she was a bitch.
no one should be cheated on. no one, and considering our star signs, they both are in for deep shit. seriously deep shit. imma kill them both. but Chan? Chanâs gonna be so hurt.
i stopped my stubborn march and halted, thinking. those idiots donât deserve my attention. iâm outta here. i turned on my heel and banged my face into a chest. âoh, Iâm sorry.â i said, only to look up and see Chan.
âhey cutie. where are you off to?â he smiled.
âChan, i-â i said. âwait, why are you smiling?â i asked him. he smiled wider as we began to walk.
âiâm just happy to see you.â
âoh?â
âwhereâs Ha-joon?â he asked. i sighed and jabbed my thumb behind me. he looked over my head where Ha-joon and Ga-young were standing.
i looked up to him. to my surprise, his expression did not change. what, no mourning over Kang?
he looked down at me. his brown eyes boring into mine. âiâm sorry.â
âitâs okay. iâm the one who should be sorry. what Ha-joon and i had, was nothing, and itâs your girlfriend that cheated iâm-â
âGa-young didnât cheat.â
âcome again?â
âGa-young didnât cheat. i broke up with her.â
âwhy?â
âbecause, i, realised something.â
âwhat?â
âi didnât belong with her.â he said, his eyes shining of emotion.
âshe was never mine, and i was never hers. what we had was never real. when i was with her, everything seemed forced. i was forced to dress fancy for her, always stay at the top of things, even if i didnât want to be, she used me. like i was her slave or something.â he told me.
âi- iâm sorry Chan.â i said, biting my lip. but he didnât appear sad at all. on the contrary, he was happy about the break up. and since i didnât care about Ha-joon, i guess everything was okay? there was a short silence until he broke it.
âhey, Y/n?â he called my attention. i looked up and before i could reply, he had smashed his lips on mine. his hands grabbed my waist and pulled me closer as his unimaginably soft lips moved above mine, making me unable to resist the urge to kiss back.
and i did, cupping his cheek with my hand, my other arm around his neck. i brushed my lips over his, trying to fill the kiss with the love i felt for him, leaving no place for any other emotion so that he knew, how much i loved him.
leaving no place for words, no place for any one else in our worlds.
the only thing that broke us apart, was the bell. he backed away, and let me go. his dark eyes looked into mine again as we panted slightly. he put his forehead on mine and took my hand and stroked it gently.
âwill you be mine?â

Stripper jason dating CEO Timmy :X
Big thank you to @galkyrie for indulging my midnight jaytim brainworms, helping me make sense of them and adding more to it. This is basically me putting together our convo, so not much of a fic.
FYI, for those who care about this: This AU ended up being switch because we can't help ourselves hence why I tagged both jaytim and timjay. Generally my AUs are more vague on that regard but on this one there's mention of both dynamics so figured, fair warning on this one.
They met at a small party thrown by Dickie and Kory (dating or married idk, whatever fits your fancy) for Dickieâs birthday. Tim is like a little brother to Dick and by extension, to Kory. Jay is close friends with Roy and Kory.
Somehow Tim and Jay had never crossed paths before; with Tim taking over higher responsibilities at the company because his father is ready to retire and leave it all up to him - he is proud of his son and despite whatever Tim says, Jack knows his son is more than ready - Tim has been busy and barely had time to socialize and well, have a life out of work.
They start talking, they hit it off pretty well. Somehow what they do for a living didnât come up in their conversation because they were too busy talking about their hobbies, Star Trek, AngBang (Sauron has a ship and Jason couldnât stop talking about it) and whether or not smoreâs count as dinner.
They exchanged numbers but Tim never got to call him again until one night he saw him performing at the club. It was Timâs birthday and as a surprise, his friend dragged him to a popular stripclub. Roy worked as a bartender there so heâd slip them free drinks every now and then.
When the show started, the room went crazy. Apparently, Jason was very popular and indeed, he was amazing. At some point Jason actually noticed him and even waved at him while he was spinning on the pole.
Steph: Iâm sorry⌠did Mr. Beefcake actually waved at you!?Â
Tim: Looks like it
Steph: YOU KNOW HIM?
Tim: Well, remember that guy I told you about that I kinda liked, mayyyybe had a little crush on?...
Steph: YOUR CRUSH IS A STRIPPER?
Tim: I DIDNâT KNOW THAT PART!
Tim was a bit embarrassed and figured it was probably for the best that he never called him to ask him out, as he saw Jay work and all his audience ogling over him⌠he didn't know how he felt about dating a stripper. Plus, who knows if heâd even be interested⌠he must have many people behind him and flirting and looking like a sin incarnate is part of his job.
They met again out of work but Jay didn't even want to talk to him again because he figured Tim was just another uptight asshole who just judged Jay for his job so he didn't call him again and avoided him. Tim felt like a real asshole and figured it didn't harm to be friends... Jay was really cool and Tim enjoyed his time with him. Tim apologized for how he came through at the beginning.
Since then, they became friends, sometimes they would text or meet for coffee. Itâs not dating - he tells himself-Â and every time heâd make a stop by the stripclub to grab a drink, hang out with Roy and Kory at the bar, ~~maybe catch a glimpse of Jay as he danced, flirted and got flirted back~~ he was always reminded of it.
Sometimes heâd get a lapdance himself. Whatâs the harmâŚnothing is gonna happen anyway. But oddly enough theyâd mostly talk about their day. Tim would be the kind of guy that would sit on his hands to not touch and Jason found it really cute. He enjoyed teasing the little guy.
Other times, Tim pays for a private room/dance to give Jay an hour break from being on the floor, because he notices he is tired. Jason was surprised at first because he thought Tim was finally pulling moves on him but nope, instead he wants nothing but to give him a break and spend time with him, pulling his laptop to watch Star Trek since Jason hadnât watched it and was interested. Jason just kept falling and falling for Timâs little gestures. He knew Tim found him attractive, it was obvious, but he was always the proper guy, never making any advances, just making Jason feel cared⌠which WAS WORSE! because he was starting to imagine it was Tim instead of those men or women whoâd heâd dance for. Jay just wanted Tim to fucking snap and fuck him senseless in that stupid couch from the private room. Meanwhile, Tim was starting to finally stop being in denial and was working out the courage to ask Jay on a date because he knows he caught feelings hard.
The next time Tim paid for a private dance, Jay was having none of it. He was going to put on a show and was determined to make Tim snap.Â
Jason, rolling his hips so his abs are almost brushing Tim's face: who'd think a CEO would be so timid ⌠(Art here )
All the while Timâs hands are hovering over his skin and not yet touching. Jason's kind of expecting him to get aggressive, or super eager, once he does touch him, but Tim's almost reverent when his fingertips brush along his outer thighs. Tim really -really- wanted to ask Jason out first but he is just about to lose it. And he does, eventually, snap and fuck Jason senseless on the couch. While they are cuddling Tim finally tells him he has been meaning to work up the courage to ask him out... Tim just tells him he wants to date him for real, he deserves to be dined and wined and maybe they are doing all this out of order⌠and Jason doesn't know how to respond because how is this man so damn cute and yet so savage. Jason asks him if he is sure⌠he doesnât want this to be a on-time thing but heâd understand. Most of his previous lovers have ended quickly because they tried to pull the âsaviorâ card, couldnât get past what he does for a living and he doesnât have plans to change this for anyone. But Tim is sure, he thought about what this means and he really wants to try if Jay will have him. Tim brings Jason flowers when he picks him up for the date and opens his car door for him. Just total romantic shit that Jason should be too jaded to fall for, but...it's Tim.
So it works on him, because he's already gone on Tim.
By the fourth course Jason's already daydreaming about peeling Tim out of his fancy suit and having his way with him on whatever stupid fancy couch he has at his penthouse. When they get back to Tim's place and Jason eases himself onto the couch and pats his lap like: I think it's your turn to be the one in my lap Tim: hope I don't need to dance because let me tell you already, I suck. But Jay walks him through it, gives him directions and suddenly Tim is taking orders. He finds he likes giving away control if its Jay.
For a while they were dating secretly but it was just because Tim didn't want the inevitable attention on their relationship and wanted to have privacy for them to develop their relationship first. He respected Jayâs job, he did it because he liked it and he was certainly amazing at it - but then Tim realized Jay might not be ok with Tim always introducing him as a friend even among their close friends because he thinks Tim is ashamed so he took Jay as his date to a Wayne gala. And of course people around Tim take it as a license to badmouth Jay and mock Tim by insinuating they had seen all there is to Jay (since some of them apparently went to the strip club Jay worked at). Jay was actually very charmed with Tim because unlike other boyfriends heâs had, Tim didnât try to make him quit his job. Truly it took a lot from Tim at the beginning to get used to Jay dancing and everyone ogling over him⌠sometimes some men or women would recognize him while they were on a date and talk so amicably with him essentially ignoring Timâs presenceâŚbut Tim focused on the fact that only Tim got to see how Jay sang while he cooked; how he genuinely laughed like a dork; how he screamed Timâs name when he reached climax, how he slept like a starfish, etc, and slowly found he loved that more than any jealousy or insecurity he could feel.
and if you missed it, timjay art here

"(Birthday) Queen Reigns Supreme" đđ
chan x felix x bday!fem!reader smut đ
⨠synopsis: no birthday plans means you get dragged along to your best friend's company dinner party... no plans after that means you're getting fucked by your crush(es?).
⨠warnings: kinda possessive chan, felix is a little more than a cuck, unprotected sex, etc.
⨠notes: this work was catered towards our sweet Reign [ @chrizzztopherbang ] for her birthdayyy đ some of the plot is specific at the beginning (i tried (very poorly) to make things more british-y), but it becomes less specific after the first few paragraphs đ
âYou have literally zero plans. Please, just go out with us. It will be way more fun than staying cramped up inside all day on your birthday,â Minho stated matter-of-factly. âAnd between me and you, if I have to go out, you should have to go out too.â
You stared at your best friend, annoyed. âI shouldnât have to do anything when itâs my birthday.â You crossed your arms.
As much as you would have loved spending your birthday with family, it was so hard with them being spread all over. Even with your twin sister, youâd have to settle with a video call to celebrate each other as she was too far away. Each of your friends, including Minho of all people, had made prior commitments, leaving you pretty much alone for your birthday.
Not that you particularly cared. Youâd never been one to care about your birthday actually. To you, it was just another day. Nothing special. Ordering in some food and cuddling up on the couch hadnât sounded bad at all.
You had thought that your best friend felt the same way about birthdays, and to be fair, you were pretty certain he was just using the day as an excuse to get you to come with him to his companyâs dinner party. You knew there was no way he could get out of it, because if he could, he would have shut it down 2 minutes after being told about it.
You fidgeted with your hair, contemplating just how many people you were going to have to talk to if you said yes. You had a massive case of RBF, so were you going to have to worry about it all night? Would you have to wear a tight, fancy dress? You always preferred something more loose. How long was this gonna last? Your social battery ran out after so long. Would you even know anyone else there? What if itâs just Minho and things get awkward?
âChan will be there,â Minho stated, as if reading your mind.
You froze. âYeah, I guess a company partner would include Chris⌠and the rest of the boys.â It had honestly just skipped your mind. You loved Minhoâs friends, so you were at ease knowing that youâd get to see some familiar faces. But Chris? Chris Bang⌠he makes things different.
âWell now I extra donât want to go!â you exclaimed, feeling your heart rate rise.
âWhy? I thought youâd be happy to know that the guy youâve been crushing on for, hmmm, I donât know, 4 years now?, would be at an event you were attending⌠so you could actually, you know, talk to him?â Minho countered sarcastically.
âAbsolutely not. I would rather die.â
That settles it. You werenât going.
âWhy?! I have begged you for years to let me put in a good word for you, and you wonât let me. Youâre in love with him. He needs to find someone who will actually be nice to him. I have to hear about both. Please, just do it so that my life will be easier,â he huffed.
He was always on one.
âYou know I canât talk to him. I get so awkward, and I canât think straight. Embarrassing myself in front of him isnât exactly my idea of a great birthday.â
Minho rolled his eyes, letting out a deep huff of air. âFine. Well, if you wonât go for him, will you go for the free alcohol? That, plus the members all miss you. They ask about you a lot. Even Chan,â he emphasized, making his eyes go big. âBut weâre not talking about him. So the others and the alcohol. Come onnn- I swear Iâll make it fun,â Minho pleaded.
You shook your head with a smile. âFine, you win. But weâre still stopping to get my favourite cake on the way home.â
"You know you're not sly, yeah?" you laughed at Seungmin while clinging tightly to the glass of wine in your hand.
You and the boys had basically ditched the dinner party at this point, opting instead to sit out on the rooftop patio while continuously refilling your drinks. After a few shots had been downed, Binnie suggested his go-to game of truth or dare. And there was no use in telling drunk Bin âno.â He was gonna win every time.
âI donât know what youâre talking about,â Seungmin replied, cocky grin on his face, as he walked back toward the table.
âWe saw you put your hand over his mouth! Do ov-er! Do ov-er! Do ov-er!â Changbin began to chant.
Felix, following quickly behind Seungmin plopped himself back down at his spot at the table. âWhy am I being punished? Itâs not even my turn!â he jokingly yelled.
âThatâs what you get for having the most delicious looking lips out of everyone here!â Changbin drunkenly yelled, dramatic as ever. âRaise your hand if you too would have picked Felix if you were dared to kiss anyone here,â Bin addressed the group loudly.
One by one, smiles arose on faces as each member snaked a hand up, including Felix. Laughs broke out as they realized they were in unison⌠until noticing you were the only one without your hand up.
Changbin was the first to notice, pointing his finger at you to draw attention. âY/n doesnât have her hand up!â he showed in his loud voice.
You just dropped your mouth wide open, staring at Binnie with a look of disbelief. You tried your best to act mad at him for pointing it out, but failed miserably. The wine circulating through had put you in too much of a good mood.
âWhat?! You would pick someone else over me?!â Felix pried, bringing his hands to his chest as he faked being offended.
Minho must have sensed the slight panic you were feeling, taking it upon himself to speak. âConsidering Got7 is here, sheâs picking either Jinyoung or Jackson. You boys were never in the equation.â
âThank god for you, Lee Minho,â you thought, grateful for his quick cover-up. Although it was basically the truth.
Considering the fact that Lee Know was the only one who wasnât drinking tonight, you knew heâd never let you live this favor down.
âWell then if you had to pick someone hereee, right now,â Felix continued.
âIâm not sayinggg,â you giggled.
âWell fine,â Felix said, sticking his tongue out.
âItâs your turn now anyway,â Binnie started. âY/n, truth or dare?â
âTruth,â you responded without giving yourself time to think.
âOkay. Then who out of the members would you rather kiss?â He asked, smirk stretching across his face as he laughed.
âFucking hell,â you smiled while rolling your eyes. âNevermind. Dare.â
âI DARE you to tell us who out of the members you would rather kiss.â
Cackles erupted from the rest of the members, scrunching up their eyes and bringing their hands up to cover their faces or to clap excitedly. This was too good for them.
You stuck your tongue in your cheek, shaking your head in disbelief. You chuckled lightly, knowing you shouldâve expected nothing less from Changbin⌠or any of them really.
âYouâre not gonna let this go, are you?â you giggled, looking directly at Bin.
âHey, youâre the one who didnât put their hand up for Felix! You did this to yourself!â Bin said, putting the focus back on you.
âFineeee, fine,â you said, blushing while directing your attention down to your glass. You couldnât bare to say it while looking at them. âIf I HAVE to pick⌠Iâm choosing Chan,â you mumbled.
âOoooââs and little kissy noises popped up out of the membersâ mouths as you continued to look away. You wanted to disappear.
âWhat does he have that I donât have?!â Felix said dramatically, clutching his chest. Wine-drunk Felixâs antics were good enough to rival even the best of actors.
You finally brought your head up to face the members, feeling more confident that you now had something to work with. âI just always thought he was the cleanest one out of you lot,â you joked, hoping to mull over the situation.
As you finally locked eyes with Chan, you saw a subtle smirk on his face. Did he know? Had he always known?
âThatâs not true,â Felix said with a pout, crossing his arms to give up.
âYouâre just hurt that not every one of us is in love with you! Donât lie, little lover boy!â Bin threw back to Felix.
Felix didnât bother to respond, still fake-pouting and looking away.
âYouâre my next choice, Lixie,â you reassured him, reaching your hand out and making a patting motion, hoping it would pacify him⌠And it did.
âOkay, fine. I can accept that,â he said theatrically, holding his head high.
All you could do was shake your head and laugh as you all went on with the night.
âHey, y/n, could I talk to you for a second?â Chan asked, walking up from behind you as youâd been making your way with Lee Know through the car park.
You shot Lee Know a quick look, mouth dropped slightly as your brows turned inquisitive. Minho nodded, trying his best to hold back a greedy smirk but failing miserably. You wanted to hit him over the head, but knew it was inappropriate considering the situation.
âYeah, yeah sure,â you said, pulling back from Lee Know a bit.
âIâll go ahead and warm up the car. Just come on whenever youâre ready to go,â he nodded at both of you before turning on his heels to head off. You knew that the second his face was out of sight that he had put on a shit-eating grin.
Suddenly feeling a bit nervous now that you were alone with Chan, you knew youâd need to try playing off any nerves you felt. The last thing you wanted on your birthday was to feel like a blubbering idiot in front of your crush.
âWhatâs going on?â you asked, trying to seem nonchalant.
âWhat you said earlier about me. Did you mean it?â he asked plainly, as if he had not a care in the world.
Chan smirked as it took you a moment to get your footing. You never dreamed heâd be this direct about it.
âI mean,â you looked off to the side a bit. âYeah, I think you probably do have the best hygiene. It just made sense,â you shrugged.
Chan wasnât fooled in the slightest, just bouncing his head up and down to follow along. âIf thatâs the story you want to go with, then okay,â he said lowly, coming in closer and bringing his mouth to your ear. âOr you can be honest with yourself and come home with me tonight instead.â
Your face turned bright red. Youâd be lying if you said you hadnât dreamt of a scenario like this before, but dreams were just dreams. You could act cool in your dreams. But right now? You had no clue what to say.
âChris, I-,â you struggled to find the right words. âI donât want things to be weird between us just because of what I said. I donât want you to think that this is what I was after. Itâs not like-.â Chris cut you off.
âY/n, Iâve had my eyes on you for well over 2 years now and never did a damn thing about it because I didnât know how you felt. Maybe itâs the alcohol talking, but for fuckâs sake, just come home with me and let me treat you to a good birthday.â
You felt a light sensation on your palm as he reached for your hand, locking it into his own.
You looked up to find his eyes. âFine... But Minho promised me cake first.â
With devious grins, you both ran to the car where Lee Know was waiting, sliding yourselves into the backseat.
âMind if we throw in a different stop?â Chan said enthusiastically as he climbed in. âMy place?â He smiled, looking at you as he projected his voice toward the front.
âItâs about fucking time,â Minho huffed, chuckling to himself. âCake first, and then Iâll take you two wherever you want to go.â
âI really am the best fucking friend ever,â he mumbled inaudibly, shaking his head as he threw the car in gear.
Chris wasted no time once youâd entered his house, slamming the door behind him and automatically pinning you to the wall.
âWhat does the birthday princess want, huh?â he growled, going in directly to cage your body in and connect his lips to yours. He left no time for you to give a response, instead opting to throw his tongue across yours and bite all around, hungrily.
One hand of his pressed against the wall next to your head and the other holding taunt to your jaw, his chest pressed into you so tightly you almost couldnât breathe. There was no way you could get so much as movement in from this position. He had fully control.
Moans escaped his mouth as he continued to throw himself into you, using his hand as leverage to pull your face into his so there would be no time for space to come in between you. With a quick pop, he pulled his mouth from yours, a string of saliva still intermingled to connect your lips to each other.
As hungrily as heâd started on your lips, he found his way down your neck and onto your collar bone. He licked and bit away until small welts began to form, causing a breathy moan to escape your lips.
âChan,â you breathed out, trying to collect enough cognition to verbalize your thoughts. âChan you canât. People canât know.â You strained your face. It pained you to even have to say it.
âCanât know?â He brought his head up. âCanât know that Iâm good to you?â His hands grabbed at your waist, smoothing down your sides to firmly grasp your ass. âCanât know that Iâm giving you a good birthday?â He leaned his head in until his lips were around your ear, nibbling the tiniest bit. âCanât know⌠that Iâm fucking crazy about you,â he breathed out deeply as he said this, automatically letting his tongue run down along the outside of your ear. âWhy canât they know?â he whispered.
Fuck, he was making this hard. If your mind wasnât so clouded over, maybe you could have come up with a better response. âJust⌠not yet.â That would have to suffice.
âNot yetâŚâ he kissed your ear lovingly. âBut one day,â he said as he smiled into you, using his hands to scoop up under your ass and lift you so that you were thrown over his shoulder.
âChristopherrrr,â you giggled, getting the wind knocked out of you in the process. âPut me downnnn,â you wiggled your legs, making it harder for him as he began to walk.
âI will, I will!â he laughed as he gripped onto you more securely, making sure you wouldnât fall. âJust gotta make sure you get to the couch safe.â
âI know how to walk!â you tried to protest, but sounded too cute to be taken seriously.
âBarely⌠Here,â he said, letting you down slowly and placing you so that you were sitting on the couch. âIs that better?â he asked, half-laughing.
âMuch,â you smiled, pulling on his hand to bring him in closer.
âNow, youâre gonna have to trust me and let me take care of you for your birthday, yeah?â he looked at you, face stern and serious.
You nodded as you let your tongue run along your teeth, ending in an anticipating smile.
Not being able to stand the sight of you being too far from him, he quickly fell to his knees in front of you, letting one hand relax on your thigh while the other gripped the side of your jaw. He leaned in to begin kissing you all over again, just as much force as heâd thrown into you mere minutes ago.
Slowly, you felt his hand run along your thigh, massaging gently before running over to pay attention to the opposite side. Before you knew it, he was rubbing up and down the entirety of your leg, pulling your shoes off of you forcefully.
It was crazy how Chan could be saying something so sweet, but then behaving so aggressively back to back.
You felt his breathing quicken into your mouth as he threw his tongue further into you, letting his hand drag the bottom of your dress upward until it was above your hips.
Only then did he disconnect his lips from yours, pulling his head back to look at your body underneath. Your pretty underwear that he convinced himself that youâd worn just for him. His jaw dropped the tiniest bit, seeing how pretty you looked for him.
His mouth found its way back to your neck, more gently this time. His hand ran slowly between your legs, teasing a big before using his entire forearm to separate your legs apart. You felt his lips curl into a smile as you let out a tiny moan.
Taking his time, he walked his hand until it lingered just above your underwear, continuing to gently tug them down until they were completely off, leaving you fully exposed to him. Normally, you may have gotten a bit nervous at this point, but with Chan, you couldnât process any emotions but pure lust.
Chanâs hands found their way to your core, running gently a few times along the outside before letting a finger wander inside of you, dipping into your entrance, which was absolutely soaked at this point.
âDamn, baby,â Chris giggled, loving how worked up you were for him.
Moving a couple of fingers against your wetness, he gently worked his way up until he hit a spot that made you wince and had your breath hitch in your throat.
âIs that it princess? Is that where it feels good?â he smiled, pulling himself from your neck so that he could watch your face.
You nodded, throwing your head back and taking deep breaths to try and keep yourself from slipping away.
âDo you like it like this?â he asked, running his fingers up and down precisely across your clit. âOr like this?â he added, moving his fingers now into a circling motion. The movement sent a quick chill down your spine.
âLike that, like that,â you huffed, reaching down to stabilize his wrist where it was. Your hips reflexively bucked up into him, only adding to the pleasure you felt.
Chan smiled, loving what he knew he was doing to you. The way your body arched for him as he went the tiniest bit faster.
âHands off, princess. Itâs just me taking care of you tonight,â he teased, moving your hand away while still rubbing you in just the right way.
Suddenly, you heard the door burst open, hearing footsteps until a disheveled-looking Felix appeared.
âWhat the fuck, bro?â Chan yelled, jerking your dress down a bit so that it was covering you but leaving his fingers in place all the same. âWhat are you doing here?!â
âYou told me I could come over,â Felix whined, obviously still drunk off his ass. He took a couple more steps forward until he realized. âWha- what are you doing?!â he asked, as if heâd just walked onto the scene of a crime.
âWhat does it look like weâre doing?â Chan yelled, obviously annoyed now. âGo to my room and play a game or something, or just leave and come back later.â With his last sentence, Chan became a bit more comfortable, moving his fingers again as he spoke. The mixture of his voice, his touch, and the scene around you, it was all too good. You bit down on your lip to stifle the moans that were begging to be let out. You couldnât stop yourself from grinding down a bit on Chan, forcing his eyes to dart back down to you instead of Felix.
âChannie-hyung, you knew I liked her first!â Felix complained, throwing his hands out. âItâs not fucking fair.â
âFair?!â Chan yelled, getting even more heated. His hand still didnât let up on your clit, instead working faster now. He was quickly gonna bring you to the edge, and you knew it. âShe CHOSE me. Now get out of here and stop ruining her fucking birthday!â
âY/n, tell him! Tell him you want me to stay. You want me too, I know you do!â Felix begged, walking closer to the scene. From here, he could tell that Chan still had you going. Your face was contorted in all kinds of shapes and slow, steady breaths were all that were keeping you sane. He was sure it was the hottest thing heâd ever seen.
âHoly shit,â Felix breathed out, savoring the sight of you. âFuck,â he tipped his head back, not being able to stand it anymore.
âLix can get in,â you tried to get out Chan, though it sounded more like a whisper.
Chanâs eyes looked at you daringly, picking up the pace on your clit as if he was waiting for you to change your mind.
âFuck Channie,â you moaned, arching your back and reaching for his wrist yet again. Another second of this and you were going to explode.
You yanked on his wrist, moving his hand back for a second to allow yourself to get a few breaths in. You waited until your heart began to slow before proceeding as Felix brought his eyes back down to you.
âChristopher,â you said softly, leaning up towards him to reach his lips. You planted a small kiss onto the side of his mouth as you took your hands to cup his face, holding it there for you. âPlease baby,â you kissed him again. âLet Lixie in this time. For my birthday.â
You looked into his eyes deeply, slowly nodding so that hopefully he would join you and give in.
He granted your wish, nodding back and taking your hand in his to plant a kiss to it.
âFine...â Chan said, turning his head around to find Felix. âBut youâre not allowed to fuck her. Thatâs all me.â
Felix smiled, not needing to hear another word.
Chan rose to his feet with his hand still holding yours. âStand up, princess,â he instructed, helping you get to your feet.
As soon as you stabilized, he hiked your dress back up, helping move you back onto the couch, now on your knees with your ass lifted up slightly.
You heard his belt unzip behind you as he shimmied his pants down and released his cock, which was already bulging and hard.
Spitting into his hand, he stroked himself a few times before lining up behind you and letting himself rub around your slit and across your clit a few times.
Felix, starting to catch on, walked himself around to the other end of the couch. As Chan got ready behind you, Felix slipped himself down so that he was lying flat on his back, inching his body up until his face rested right underneath your core.
You almost jumped at the feeling of Chan entering you slowly, feeling how big he was- much bigger than you could have imagined. He filled you up until you were completely full, not understanding until that moment how much youâd needed this. You let out a deep sigh as he bottomed out, hearing his moan from behind at how tight you were around him.
Slowly he inched out and back in until he felt comfortable enough to go harder, gripping tightly around your waist so he didnât knock you away.
âFuckkk,â you let out, reveling in how good he felt inside of you. Each new thrust sent a new wave of pleasure upwards. You didnât know how any of this could get better.
Felix, too turned on by the noises overhead, brought his mouth to your pussy, just to where he was watching Chan now pound into you. He licked a few long stripes around your entrance, letting his tongue hit you, but also accidentally running slightly along Chanâs shaft as he railed into you. Felix rested his tongue here for a moment, letting it hit back and forth between you and Chan. The moans escaping your mouth were unreal. You just couldnât help yourself. Felixâs hot breath on you only made it that much better.
âAhh fuck,â you heard Chan curse under his breath, feeling the new stimulation from Felixâs mouth as he began alternating between licking and sucking at the area. Chan would never have admitted it, but fuck did it feel better than anything heâd ever experienced.
In unison, the three of you became a wild, moaning mess, each of you going harder and harder. Chan pounded into you as quickly as he could, beginning to hit the most perfect spot as you threw your hips back into him. He was so deep- so fucking deep that you almost couldnât stand it. You could feel it hitting something inside you, radiating back with the most delicious feeling youâd ever experienced.
Felixâs mouth did wonders around you, having you wetter than youâd even thought possible. As his tongue moved to your throbbing clit, you audibly screamed. Your head began to spin as he swirled around you, giving you just the right pace and the right pressure.
âOh Lixie,â you breathed out, almost in tears of how good he was doing for you.
âMmm,â he moaned with a tiny smile, using his mouth to suck on you now, just as sweetly as before, making sure the flat of his tongue was winding you up to where you needed to be.
Thatâs when you felt it. The warmth growing in your stomach was starting to burn. Fast and hard. âFuck, Iâm gonna cum,â you said, arching your body backward. âIâm gonna cum,â you repeated, closing your eyes tight as your mouth dropped open, feeling everything pent up ready to release.
Chan quickly brought his hand to your neck to hold you upright, fucking into you just right. His hips snapped up as you felt the heat of his mouth move up next to your ear.
âYouâre gonna cum with me right now, pretty girl. Gonna cum together. Iâm gonna fill you up right now...â His voice sped up, yelling urgently. âCum with me right fucking now. Right fucking now,â he growled, groaning out as he fucked into you with a few final strokes.
Felix continued lapping at your clit until you couldnât stand it. Suddenly, you snapped. Your thighs shut together around Felixâs face as you began convulsing nonstop around them both. You screamed, your arms reaching up to claw at Chan who was still fucking into you with everything he had.
Felix wouldnât let up either, causing you to go intot he biggest overstimmulated panic youâd ever have.
You continued to thrash and to yell and to scream until tears were streaming down, unable to move or do anything anymore. You were completely spent. Completely used. And fuck did it feel amazing.
Satisfied and exhausted, Chan finally pulled out of you, cum following the direction. A bit of the cum landed right on Felixâs face, forcing him to let off of you and pull back.
âDamn,â you said, body still shaking as you took deep breaths, trying to process what had just happened.
You quickly rolled yourself back until you were able to stand again, pulling your dress down to cover you.
You brought your hands up to cover your face before laughing a bit, wondering how in the fuck this was real life and not just your imagination.
Felix dabbed at his face as he hoisten himself up back to sitting and Chan pulled his pants on. You all stood for a few moments, unable to say a single word.
âWell,â Chan finally got out, cocking a brow and trying to put everything together. He shook his head in disbelief as he fiddled with his fingers. âThis was fun⌠but FelixâŚâ he looked in his direction. âNever again,â he laughed, pitching his voice up at the end.
Felix nodded, holding in a laugh himself. âYupppp,â he said awkwardly.
âAnd y/n,â Chan continued, looking over at you, ânever again⌠with Felix.â He cleared his throat before going on to clarify. âWith me, yes. With Felix, no.â
Felix flew his hands up, finally letting out a laugh. âAlright fine, Iâm just going home,â he put on a fake pity voice before standing and walking to the front door.
You giggled in response, rolling your eyes. As you heard the door close behind Felix, you continued on.
âYa know,â you said, looking into Chanâs eyes with a teasing smile, âyou donât get to tell the âbirthday princessâ what to do?â you mocked his little nickname for you.
He moved in closer, placing his hands on your waist as he pulled you directly in front of him. âTechnicallyyyy, youâre not the birthday princess anymore,â he smirked, nodding his head in the direction of the overhead clock hanging from the wall. âBut, you can still be my princess. And my queen. And my everything else too. If you want,â he smiled.

If only you knew. | Quinn Hughes x Reader
Summary: before Quinn left you, yiu had a life changing suprise to tell him. Unfortunately, you guys broke up before you had the chance to tell him.
Warnings: pregnancy? Thatâs it!?
A:N- itâs really short, um.. sorry but Iâm having like mega writers block. Iâm thinking if finishing my John marino fluff thatâs been requested but itâs gonna tell a bit. Sorry again!!

âââ シ ・ďžâ: *.â˝ .* :âďž. âââ
Quinn and I just browk up, and he has found another girlfriend. Itâs been exactly three weeks from the end of our three year relationship. Iâm heartbroken.
I was walking out of the doctors room after my weekly appointment. Quinn my ex boyfriend had just broken up with me. Not for any crazy reason, just simply he wanted to focus on his career.
Now I said it wasnât a crazy reason, but I do believe it was a stupid one. I think he needs someone in his life that will always be there for him to ask for help, get support and can cuddle with at night. Obviously that SOMONE has to be me. But he happy with his new lady.
Obviously, his brothers are his number ones, but romanticlyâŚ
~
âI would never leave you. If anything, youre the one to break my heart. I need you in my life, you keep me responsible and safe. I feel loved everytime I look at you.â
-said the âlove of my lifeâ Quinn Hughes
~
I undertsand perspective changes, and opinions are not going to stay the same, but he truly meant it. I know he felt it was a stupid thing to say. I just hope him the best, I hipe he finds a good strong loving women.
The real reason Quinn and I broke up wasnât because of his career but his personal relationship within his mental state, he wasnât ready for kids, and I was. He wasnât ready to be captain for a year and have an actual job at home as well.
Mainly, yes it was his career that was stopping him but at least he got what he wanted⌠right?
~
I just came back from an appointment agian, I tried to call Quinn.
First time he didnât pick up, second time⌠well he picked up but he didnât wnat to talk to me.
âI canât right now y/n. I just canât. Iâm busy.â
âOkay, sorry Quinn.â
Or:
âNot the time.â
ââŚâ
Did it hurt me deep down? Yes. But I have to respect him. I called him for the last time.
âQuinn-â
âWhat! Seriously y/n, I canât right now.â
âIâm pregnant.â
~
He didnât respond, so I hung up. If I wnat a father to my child, I better find one that wants to be a dad, Quinn doesnât want kids, so I must let him go.
But if only he knew that he was the love of my life, and he was gonna be a good father.

Thoughts on JJK chapter 261 (Spoilers)
The Fuck
We start with Yuji's last attack and a redraw of last chapter's last scene. Yuji didn't manage to injure Sukuna's heart further and gets thrown to the side being forgotten immediately together with Todo because Sukuna has a new/old opponent now: fucking Yuta.
We do get one more panel of Yuji thinking of Choso which fits my recent post about Yuji's accumulated trauma. Other than that Yuji/Todo get sidelined for the rest of the chapter but that was needed to explain what the fuck Yuta had done
Also, Okkotsu Yuta is now on name-basis with Sukuna, a place only very few people have reached at this point like Fushiguro Megumi and Gojo Satoru.
When I first saw the stitches on Gojo's head, I thought of Kenjaku and Kenjaku only. Even after Sukuna called him Yuta I needed a moment to understand what had happened here. Do you all understand how awesome that is đ JJK has an active theory based fanbase and I at least have never heard or thought of this possibility đŁ
We get a flashback to explain how we got to this point: the idea of taking over Gojo's body came from Yuta and most people were initially against it. Of note: Yuji was not part of this discussion probably for the same reason why no one told him about Todo.
We get a reminder why it has to be done this way but Maki throws in that Yuta's copy only lasts 5 minutes. So the question is, what happens when those 5 minutes are up?
Yuta dies because Kenjaku's possession ability needs to be active constantly
Yuta dies at some point because Kenjaku's possession ability needs to be activated again and again
Yuta's new body permanently becomes Gojo's body
Honestly, I don't think 3) will be endgame for Yuta. It might happen that he will become Gojo in body permanently but story-wise his death signs are through the roof. I don't believe that Yuta will survive inside Gojo đ˘
1) is has to be false otherwise Kenjaku wouldn't be able to use other CTs like CM and AGS. 2) is a probable option as in Kenjaku had to intermittently re-activate his original CT but he still had the option of using other CTs as well.
Also, secret 4th option: Yuta dies but his body hopping shenanigans bring Gojo back to life.
It's good to see how Yuta is concerned about Gojo. Yuji would've been right there with him. He told Gojo about his plan but the guy was absolutely sure that he wouldn't lose anyway, haha...
Gojo speculates that Yuta might also be the descendent of the Fujiwara in addition to being one of the Sugawara and I'm not a genetics experts but I'm pretty sure that after 1000 years without migration happening in your family tree that you're descendent of everyone who lived that long ago. Except for Sukuna because he never had children.
Also, the original gang from JJK 0 came together to be part of some murder. The deaths of the higher-ups we saw at the very beginning of the Sukuna fight is now explained: Gojo killed them for a better future of the JJ Society but he was a little hesitant about it.
The flashback jumps first to Yuji's old friend who's name I forgot. We learn that his CT is sugar (??) based which leads to him becoming part of the medical team. Then the FB jumps to the aftermath of Yuta's fight against Sukuna: he was cut in half and is about to die
In a funny call back to when Yuji died at the Detention Center, Gojo is both dead and completely naked on a table. Just like Yuji, he also rises again albeit not completely alive when it comes to himself.
(Why did Yuta waste crucial seconds to put a shirt on?)
Shoko says that she fully sutured Gojo's bisected body and because Kenjaku's CT (as far as we know) only works on dead bodies, we have the confirmation that Gojo has indeed died against Sukuna. Except of course that he's about to be revived again.
Let's not forget that as far as Kenjaku's CT is involved, body and mind are treated the same. Something that will involve Gojo and his consciousness is going to happen at some point because of Yuta's decision to do this body hopping.
A new Domain Battle between Sukuna and GojoYuta is about to start. Yuta not only watched the previous battles, he also acquired Gojo's memories so it's exciting to see how that will play out.
It's also interesting how the visuals of the domain clashes changed so much. GojoYuta's is still the same (the first confirmation that a possessor can use the possessed's DE) while Sukuna's deteriorated somewhat, represented with the beastly construct in the background. He also has to use Gojo's handsign.
Break next week but now we can speculate to hell and back about what will happen now.

HEARTBREAK GIRL - sjy
PAIRING: bff!sim jaeyun x yn
WARNING: pet name (angel, baby) lmk if i missed anything, slight angst..? a lot of feelings involved, kinda mean heeseung??
WC: ~5k more or less
SYNOPSIS: jake has always been there for you through thick and thin â he was always there to take away your hurt, as he was your cure, but when were you going to realise?
PLAYLIST: 5sos - heartbreak girl
A.N: hi everyone i just wanted to say quickly that itâs my first written fic, i have no idea what im doing tbf but i just really really liked the idea for a while and decided to give it a shot .. i truly accept any constructive criticism you might have idm this will probably be the first and last time i post something but ! do let me know what you guys think, it would mean a lot !!
ps. this one is dedicated to my wife @ja3yun seriously couldnât have done it without ur advices so seriously tysm bb!!
I. âYOU CALL ME UP // ITâS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD // SAYING THAT YOUR HEART HURTSâ
Jake sighs as his phone buzzes. Picking it up he sees your caller ID and for a split of a second he doesnât want to pick up the call. As he glances at the phone he lets himself wonder what a different life would be like; if somehow in another life he could stop caring and ignore you.
He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath â that could never be a possibility. Heâs sure that if that another life actually exists, the universe would somehow bring him together with you and all of this would eventually happen.
âY/N?â he answers, trying to keep his voice steady.
âJakeâŚâ you manag to say even though your friend can barely hear your voice. âHe broke up with me.â you said as a sob escaped from you.
Jake feels like his own heart is shattering. Not for your and Heeseungâs relationship that was over for now but mostly for himself. Heâd seen you go through this too many times, always falling for the wrong boys and always ending up heartbroken.
âIt just hurts so bad, Jake..â you cry, your voice breaking.
As you continued crying and uttering words that made Jakeâs heart drop at how you seem to hate yourself now, he feels like he could punch Heeseung if he were to see him now. Even though he has been there for you through many of your previous heartbreaks and also fights with Heeseung he never heard you cry so bad.
âHey, Y/N.. Listen to me. Take deep breaths, stop crying, angel, please.â Jake says softly and it makes you stop crying over the phone for a bit.
âYouâre more than just a pretty face, okay? Donât listen to him. Youâre smart, youâre kind and youâre wicked funny.. And I guarantee thereâs a guy out there who will see what I see, okay?â
You take a sharp breath and nodd but quickly mutter a âYesâ as you realize he canât see you through the phone.
âI just.. Why does this keep happening, Jake? Why are all the guys I end up with always such assholes?â
âItâs not you, angel. Youâre really amazing, you know? Sometimes people like him⌠just donât realize what they have right in front of them until itâs too late. He will definitely come crawling back to you in no time.â Jake says in a playful tone but his words held some truth â even through your fights Heeseung always came back.
You chuckle and it makes Jake smile. He hates seeing or hearing you cry, especially when itâs about your relationships and how you always deem yourself unworthy of love from anyone when itâs your boyfriends who just canât appreciate you.
âThank you, Jake. Thank you for being a friend. Itâs so late right now..Iâm sorry for bothering you.â
Jake chuckles as well. âYou never bother me, angel.â
âIâll call you tomorrow at 10.â
Then the phone call abruptly comes to an end and Jake sighs for the second time that night. He knows you wonât call, especially if Heeseung puts his ego aside and comes back to you tonight.
He takes the pillow from under his head and places it on top, muffling a scream as his own mind and especially you liked to play him in circles again and again.
II. HE TREATS YOU SO BAD AND IâM SO GOOD TO YOU, ITâS NOT FAIR
âOkay, enough.â Jake says as he looks away from you and Heeseungâs display of affection. âIâm seriously happy you got back together but I am still third-wheeling hereâŚâ he lies gritting his teeth.
To you it looks like he is actually happy for you and just annoyed by your public display of love with Heeseung but in reality? No, in reality he simply canât stand seeing you act so in love with the boy when just three days ago he insulted you, called you mean words and broke it off. Just for him to come back to you, act all sad, say sorry and you forgive him just like that.
You push Heeseung slightly off you and lean closer to Jake to take his hand in yours, giving it a small squeeze. âIâm sorry, Heeseung just really wanted to come to the drive-in movie and I couldnât say no..â
Heeseung drags you back into him and puts a hand over your shoulder while the other is sneaking between your thighs. You giggle and slap his hand away while muttering that âJake is right hereâ. Jake quickly adverts his eyes, finding the movie on the playing suddenly interesting.
âOh, itâs getting rather chillyâŚâ you say after a few minutes and look longingly at your boyfriend, hoping for him to get the message and give you his jacket.
âI told you to bring a jacket, dummy.â Heeseung says, rolling his eyes but making no move of giving his jacket to his girlfriend. âHow about you go get us some drinks, baby? Maybe if you move a bit you can get warm.â
Jake shakes his head at his words and scoffs. He takes off his jacket and puts it on your shoulders. âHere, Y/N.â
You smile gratefully at Jake, your eyes softening. â Thank you, Jake. Youâre the best.â
âAnytime,â Jake replies, his voice gentle. He glances at Heeseung, his expression hardening. âYou should take better care of her, man.â
Heeseung shrugged, not even bothering to spare Jake a look. âSheâs fine. She can handle herself.â
Jake clenches his jaw, resisting the urge to say something more. He hates how Heeseung keeps treating you, how he takes you for granted and never caring. He treats you so bad and heâs so good to you â it just wasnât fair.
During the movie that Jake paid no attention to , he couldnât help but compare himself to Heeseung. What does Heeseung have that he doesnât? Is it the hair, the stupid leather jacket he always wears, the bambi eyes, the way he carries himself with such confidence or the way he seems to effortlessly attract attention wherever he goes?
Or maybe you just happen to like the way Heeseung makes you feel after all. The excitement of the chase, the push and pull, the high and low that came with every fight and every word in it, making it hurt but also giving you a rush feeling.
But he knows you. In the long run you donât actually want all of that. As he steals a glance at the two of you, he feels like he could scream out right now that you could be with him now. He could offer you love, stability. He decides to push off that idea out of his mind as fast as it came. You are happy with Heeseung for now and thatâs all that matters.
He feels a hand on his shoulder, a gentle touch that brings him back to the present. He looks up to see you, seeing your soft smile but when he looks into your eyes he sees sadness lingering behind them.
âHey, weâre going to head out⌠Heeseung needs to meet up with some friends.â you say quietly to Jake, your voice barely above a whisper.
Jake frowns, feeling frustrated. âYou can stay, canât you? You love this movie!â he exclaims, his voice louder than he intends, hoping that Heeseung can hear the disappointment in his voice.
You purse your lips and shake your head. With a low voice you mutter an apology and start to take his jacket off to return it to him but he stops you.
âKeep it.â Jake tells you offering a smile that doesnât quite reaches his eyes.
You nod, getting up quickly and follow Heeseung to leave the drive-in movie location. You take one look back to wave goodbye at Jake, seeing him standing there, his eyes locked on you.
Jake watches you leave, the weight of unspoken words heavy on his heart. He waves back, his smile fading as soon as you turn away.
He closes his eyes and looks up at the sky, the cool night air brushing against his skin. The stars twinkle above, indifferent to his inner turmoil. He takes a deep breath, the chilly air filling his lungs, and lets it out slowly, his breath visible in the night air.
In the silence of the drive-in, the sound of distant car engines and the murmur of people leaving fill the background, but Jake is lost in his thoughts. He thinks about all the moments heâs shared with you, the laughter, the tears, and the quiet times where just being near you was enough. He thinks about the way Heeseung treats you, and it makes his chest tighten with frustration and longing.
Jake opens his eyes, the stars still sparkling above, offering no answers, no solace. He knows he canât keep this to himself much longer. The longer he waits, the more he sees you getting hurt, the more it eats away at him. But he canât do it. He knows you need to know that someone out there loves you deeply but what if it his feelings would ruin everything for good? For now, all he can do is be there for you, as he always has been. He turns away from the screen, walking slowly to his car. As he gets in and starts the engine, he glances back at the empty space where you had been sitting, the memory of your sad smile etched in his mind.
III. SOMETIMES IâM SO CLOSE TO CONFESSION
Jake sits in his room, the soft glow of his desk lamp casting long shadows across the walls. His mind is a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, his heart heavy with the weight of unspoken words. For weeks now, heâs been wrestling with the idea of confessing his feelings to you, his best friend and the person he cares about most in the world. But every time he tries to gather the courage to tell you how he feels, his fears and insecurities hold him back, trapping him in a cycle of doubt and self-pity.
âHey, Jake, are you listening?â your voice takes him out of his thoughts. You get up from the bed and go sit on the desk chair next to him.
âNo, sorry.â Jake smile sheepishly. âYou were saying?â he attempts to play it off.
You roll your eyes. âI was talking about this new book coming upâŚâ you trail off, talking about the upcoming release of your favourite author.
Jake canât help but let himself watch you. He thinks about the way you smile, the way your soft giggle fills the room and makes his heart skip a beat and the way your eyes light up when you talk about something youâre passionate about just like now.
And as he listens to you talk, he canât help but feel a sense of longing wash over him, a longing to tell you how he feels, to lay his heart bare and risk it all for the chance at something more.
âY/N I-â Jake suddenly interrupts you but his bravery doesnât last long.
As the moment passes, the words stick in his throat, suffocating him with their weight. He wants to tell you, he really does, but the fear of rejection holds him back, paralyzing him with its grip.
âYes? Did you want to say something?â you ask him and look up to him just to see him shake his head and motioning for you to continue talking about the book.
And so he sits there, silent and still, watching you with a mixture of adoration and regret, wishing he could find the courage to take the leap and tell you how he feels.
As you continue to talk, oblivious to the turmoil raging within him, Jake canât help but wonder what it would feel like to hold you in his arms, to kiss you under the stars, to whisper words of love into your ear. But for now, all he can do is watch and wait, hoping that one day, heâll find the strength to confess his feelings and take a chance on love.
âYou will come with me, right?â you say to him suddenly. âTo the book release? Heeseung doesnât want to come, he thinks itâs silly..â
Jake's heart skips a beat at your words, his mind racing with a mixture of excitement and nervousness but also anger towards Heeseung â how could he think your passion, your hobby is something silly and telling you that to your face nonetheless? Jake keeps those thoughts of your boyfriend to himself. However the thought of spending time alone with you again, of being by your side as you indulge in something you love and hanging out just like old times, fills him with a sense of warmth and anticipation.
âOf course, Y/N,â he says, his voice soft.âIâd love to come with you.â
A smile spreads across your face, and Jake feels his heart swell with happiness at the sight. For a moment, everything else fades away, leaving just the two of you, lost in the moment together.
And as you talk excitedly about the upcoming event, Jake can't help but feel a sense of hope stir within him. Maybe this is his chance, his opportunity to finally confess his feelings and take a chance on love. And as he looks into your eyes, he knows that no matter what happens, he'll always be there for you, ready to support you and cherish every moment you share together.
IV. IâM RIGHT HERE, WHEN YOU GONNA REALISE // THAT IâM YOUR CURE?
âHeeseung, whatâs gotten into you?â you ask, frustration clear in your tone as you watch him pace around your living room.
Heeseung stops and scoffs. âAre you serious?â
You fight the urge to roll your eyes. Ever since he tagged along to the the drive-in movie hang out between you and Jake and then found out you went with Jake to your book release event he started to act out. He rejects your ideas to go out on a date, he rejects initiating any kind of intimacy to you â even refusing to hold your hand, something heâs never done in your 6 months relationship.
You canât help but feel confused and hurt by his sudden change in behaviour. He used to be so affectionate even if you had a fight and was always eager to show you off on dates and such but now he seems like a completely different person.
âSeriously, Heeseung. Talk to me, whatâs going on?â you press, your voice tinged with worry.
Heeseung looks at you and steps closer. âYouâre in love, baby.â he says while putting a strand of your hair behind your ear, smiling softly. âBut not with me.â
âWhat?â you say, your mind racing as you try to process what he just said.
âI think you should give Jake a call.â Heeseung continues, his expression earnest though you canât help but feel puzzled by his sudden insight. Heeseung chuckles. âCâmon, baby. Did you think I wouldnât notice? How your eyes always light up when heâs around or how you always talk about him when heâs not and bring him up whenever thereâs an opportunity? Or how you always compare what I do with what he does?â
You part your lips slightly, caught off guard by his observations. His words hit you like a bolt of lightning, sparking a flurry of emotions within you.
âBut⌠IâŚâ you stammer, struggling to find the words to express the tumultuous thoughts swirling in your mind.
Heeseung reaches out, gently cupping your face in his hands. âItâs okay, Y/N,â he says softly. âI understand. Hell, Iâd fall in love with the guy too if he were to always drop everything and be at my beck and call. How did you not realise everything sooner? I swear, he has been so obvious the past weeks.â he chuckles. âActually, did you know he had a presentation on the day you went with him to the book release? He talked with his professor to present it earlier so he could come with you.â
Heeseungâs words hit you like a sudden gust of winter wind, cutting through the air with their sharpness and leaving you feeling exposed and vulnerable. His observations about Jakeâs actions leave you reeling, the realization sinking in like a heavy weight on your chest.
âI⌠I didnât know,â you whisper, your voice barely above a whisper as you struggle to process the information. âI didnât realize he was going out of his way for meâŚâ
Heeseungâs hands drop from your face, his expression softening with understanding. âItâs okay, Y/N,â he says gently, his voice a comforting presence in the midst of the storm raging inside you. âSometimes, itâs hard to see things clearly when youâre too close to them.â
You nod slowly, feeling a sense of guilt wash over you at the thought of all the times you may have overlooked Jakeâs gestures of affection. How could you have been so blind to his feelings, so oblivious to the depth of his love for you?
Heeseung leans in closer and kisses your forehead. Itâs a tender, lingering kiss, filled with a mixture of sadness and acceptance. He pulls back, looking into your eyes one last time with a strained smile that doesnât reach his eyes. The weight of the moment hangs heavy between you, and you can feel the finality in his actions. He turns and walks towards the door.
You watch him leave, your heart aching as he steps out of your apartment. The door closes behind him with a soft click, and you stand there, feeling a profound sense of loss. Part of you wants to run after him, to call him back and somehow make everything right. But you know that some things canât be fixed with a few words.
You move to the window and peer out, hoping to catch a glimpse of Heeseung, hoping he would turn back and give you one last look. But the street below is empty, and the cold night air feels like a reflection of the unresting feeling inside you.
For the first time after a break-up, you donât call Jake. You take the night to yourself, the silence of your apartment enveloping you like a cold winter's night. Your mind is a whirlwind of confusion and heartache, the echoes of Heeseung's words lingering like a biting chill.
As you sit alone, wrapped in a blanket on the couch, your thoughts turn to Jake. The realisation that he might have deeper feelings for you sends a shiver down your spine. Youâve always seen him as your rock, your dependable best friend, but now, faced with the possibility that his feelings might run deeper, you feel an icy grip of uncertainty and fear tighten around your heart.
You think about all the moments youâve shared with Jake, the late-night conversations, the inside jokes, the way heâs always been there for you. How could you have been so blind to his feelings? The thought of potentially hurting him, of disrupting the comfortable dynamic youâve always shared, fills you with a sense of dread. Itâs like stepping out into the harsh winter wind, unsure if youâll be able to find your way back to the warmth and safety youâve known.
You wrap the blanket tighter around yourself, seeking comfort in its embrace, but your mind continues to spiral. What if you donât feel the same way? What if your feelings for Jake are merely a reflection of your gratitude and dependence on his unwavering support? The thought of leading him on, of giving him false hope, sends a pang of guilt through you. The guilt eats at you for not noticing sooner, for being so wrapped up in your own relationships and dramas that you missed the quiet, steady love that Jake might have been offering all along. Itâs a chilling thought, realizing how much you might have overlooked in your pursuit of fleeting romances with others.
Your heart and mind feel like a frozen landscape, barren and cold, with no clear path forward. You canât deny the flutter of something more when you think of Jake, but itâs buried under layers of confusion and fear. Youâve been through so much heartache, and the idea of risking your most cherished friendship for a chance at something more feels like walking on thin ice, fragile and treacherous.
The night wears on, and the cold, empty silence of your apartment presses down on you. You long for the warmth of Jakeâs presence, his soothing voice and reassuring words, but you know you canât run to him this time. You need to sort through your feelings, to understand whatâs real and whatâs born out of loneliness and a desire for comfort.
As the hours pass, you come to a bittersweet realization. You need to protect Jake from potential heartbreak, to shield him from the uncertainty thatâs freezing your heart. You care for him too much to risk his happiness on your unresolved feelings. And so, for the first time, you decide to face this winter storm on your own, hoping that in the process, youâll find clarity and the strength to either embrace or gently let go of what could be.
Tomorrow, youâll see him, and maybe the warmth of his smile will melt some of the ice around your heart. But tonight, you wrap yourself tighter in your blanket and let the winter winds of your emotions rage on, knowing that some answers can only be found in the stillness of the cold.
You donât see him tomorrow. Instead, you chose to run from him, from his feelings and your own. The weight of your confusion and fear makes you retreat further into yourself, wrapping the cold, comforting solitude around you like a protective cloak. You bury yourself in college work, books and anything that can keep your mind occupied. Yet, in the quiet moments â those still, silent spaces between the busyness â your thoughts inevitably drift back to Jake.
The look in Jakeâs eyes when heâs with you haunts you. Itâs a look filled with warmth and unspoken words. A look that now seems so painfully clear in hindsight. Itâs as if heâs always been there, offering you a love as constant and reassuring as the summer sun, yet you were too caught up in the fleeting, cold winter winds of other relationships to notice.
Jakeâs feelings for you feel like a warm summer day. Theyâre gentle and persistent, bringing light and comfort into your life without demanding anything in return. His love is the kind that warms you from the inside out, melting away the icy barriers youâve built around your heart. But now, the fear of stepping into that warmth, of risking the friendship you hold so dear, keeps you trapped in a winter of your own making.
Meanwhile, Jake is left adrift, confused and hurt by your sudden withdrawal. He tries to seek you out, to understand why youâre avoiding him, but every attempt is met with distance. He feels like heâs chasing shadows, reaching out for something that slips further away with each passing day. He even tried to talk with Heeseung, hoping that the man knows something of why youâre acting this way towards him but much like you, Heeseung avoided him.
As the days turn into a week, the winter storm within you begins to show signs of weakening. The relentless busyness that youâve thrown yourself into canât keep the feelings at bay forever. In those quiet moments, when youâre alone with your thoughts, you start to feel the warmth of Jakeâs love seeping through the cracks in your icy defenses.
You remember the way he looked at you, the gentle, unspoken promises in his eyes. The realization that youâve been running from something so genuine, so pure, starts to thaw the fear and confusion that have held you captive. The warmth of Jakeâs love begins to melt the ice around your heart, and you start to see things more clearly.
You know you canât avoid him forever. The thought of hurting Jake, of causing him pain with your indecision, is unbearable. You decide that itâs time to face your feelings, to confront the truth that youâve been so afraid of. You owe it to Jake, and to yourself, to be honest about whatâs in your heart.
With a deep breath, you pick up your phone and send him a message, asking to meet. The anticipation of seeing him again fills you with a mix of dread and hope. You know the conversation ahead will be difficult, but itâs the only way to move forward.
As you wait for his response, you feel a sense of clarity. The journey ahead might be uncertain, but youâre ready to step into the light, to embrace the summer warmth that Jakeâs love promises. And maybe, just maybe, youâll find that the path youâre most afraid of is the one that leads you to the happiness youâve been searching for.
âOfcourse. When and where?â
His response is immediate, no hesitation, no hint of the confusion and hurt you know he must be feeling. The simplicity of his words, the readiness to meet despite everything, brings a small, bittersweet smile to your face. You suggest a quiet cafĂŠ near campus, a place you both know well, and set a time for the next afternoon.
The next day, as you make your way to the cafĂŠ, your mind is a whirlwind of emotions. The warmth of the spring sun on your face feels like a promise, a gentle reassurance that everything might just be okay. You take a deep breath, trying to steady your nerves, and step inside.
Jake is already there, sitting at a corner table. The sight of him sends a rush of emotions through you â relief, nervousness and a profound sense of familiarity. He looks up as you approach, and his puppy like smile is like a beacon of warmth cutting through your lingering uncertainty.
âHey,â he says softly, standing up to greet you.
âHey,â you reply, your voice a little shaky. You both sit down, and for a moment, thereâs an awkward silence. Jakeâs eyes search your face, and you can see the questions and concern in them.
âIâm sorry Iâve been avoiding you,â you start, your voice barely above a whisper. âI just needed some time to think.â
Jake nods, his expression understanding but guarded. âIâve been worried about you,â he admits. âI didnât know what was going on, and I⌠I missed you.â
His words hit you like a gentle breeze, warm and reassuring, but also filled with a depth of emotion that makes your heart ache. âI missed you too,â you confess. âI needed to figure out some things⌠about us, about my feelings.â
Jakeâs eyes widen slightly, a flicker of hope and fear crossing his face. âUs?Your feelings?â he echoes, his voice tense with anticipation.
You take a deep breath, gathering your courage. âJake, youâve always been there for me. Youâve been my rock, my best friend, and⌠Iâve realized that maybe, Iâve been blind to something thatâs been right in front of me all along.â
His eyes are locked onto yours, and you can see the hope growing, the warmth in his gaze like the sun breaking through the clouds after a cold cold winter day. âWhat do you mean?â he asks softly.
âI meanâŚâ you struggle to find the right words, the right way to express the tumult of emotions inside you. âI think Iâve been so caught up in my own fears and insecurities that I didnât see what was right in front of me. Youâve always been there, and Iâve come to realize that⌠that I care about you, Jake. More than just as a friend.â
There, itâs out. You think as you let the words out of your mouth. The words hang in the air between you, a confession that feels both terrifying and liberating. Jakeâs expression softens, a mixture of relief and overwhelming emotion flooding his face.
âIâve cared about you for a long time.. Iâm surprised you didnât notice sooner,â he admits, his voice shaking slightly. âI didnât know how to tell you without risking what we have. But hearing you say that⌠it means everything to me.â
You reach across the table, taking his hand in yours. The simple touch feels like a lifeline, grounding you in this moment of vulnerability and honesty. âIâm scared, Jake,â you confess. âIâm scared of losing what we have, but Iâm more scared of never knowing what we could be.â
Jake squeezes your hand, his grip warm and reassuring. âWeâll figure it out together,â he promises. âWeâve always been there for each other, and that wonât change. I want to be with you, Y/N. Not just as your friend, but as someone who loves you.â
His words are like the first true warmth of summer, melting away the last of your fears. You smile, a genuine, hopeful smile, and nod. âI want that too, Jake. I want to see where this goes, with you.â
As you sit there, hand in hand, you feel the ice around your heart finally melt away, replaced by the warmth and promise of a new beginning. The journey ahead might be uncertain, but with Jake by your side, you know youâll face it together, one step at a time.
