hi i'm missing kaeya so bad right now so please have this <3 (this is one of my favorite works from my old blog hehe) warnings: nondescript mentions of nightmares.
your skin is littered with goosebumps, the chill of winter nips at your nose and you cling to him in hopes of absorbing the heat he gives off as he points out various sights and sounds of the celebration taking place. the lights of the city glow beside him, people are talking, laughing, having fun, but your focus is on him. it's unfair, you think. he's got a cryo vision, why is he so warm right now? he's comfortable, cozy, and rather cuddly-looking.Â
it's not long before he notices you practically glued to his side. "my, someone's rather attached, aren't they?"Â he glances sideways at you holding on tightly to his bicep, his signature sly smile on his face.Â
you make a face at him. "it's cold and your fur thingy is warm."
"oh? and here i thought you were just affectionate." he clicks his tongue softly. "shame, really. i was going to suggest that i hold you properly, but it seems my coat would be enough, wouldn't it?"
"wait, noâthat's not what i want." you mutter, almost embarrassed. you know he wants you to verbalize it, and you want him to hug you, but you hate giving him the satisfaction.
"what's that, sweetheart? i didn't quite catch it," his visible eye glitters with silent mirth.
you sigh, giving in. "hold me, dammit."Â
"ah, are you sure? because a minute agoâoof!" he's cut off by you tugging his coat sharply to bring him closer to you. you lock your arms around him tightly, but you know that with his strength, he can get out whenever he wishes.
"you talk too much, kaeya." you grumble into the fluff on his shoulder, burying your face in its warmth. he laughs quietly and reciprocates, hugging you back just as tight. he kisses the crown of your head softly, and the two of you stay there for far too long, simply savoring the other's presence.
it's late in the evening. the sun has set barely an hour prior, and the barest hint of orange still lingers near the horizon. the fire crackles merrily in the background, he's at home unwinding. he sips on hot tea for a change, a book in his hand. he appears relaxed, peaceful.Â
until you enter, and simply, just. plop yourself next to him and lay your head on his shoulder. "hey," you greet him quietly. he's used to you flopping next to him like a sack of potatoes after a long, weary day, so he's unfazed.
"hey, you." he sets the book and his drink aside and turns his head to press a lingering kiss to your forehead. he takes in the bags around your eyes and the drained look that accompanies them. his uncovered eye follows your hand as you move to grasp one of his, interlocking your fingers. "missed me?" he asks, playfully, even though he already knows the answer.
"mhm." you adjust yourself so you're almost half on him. slowly, carefully, he separates your intertwined hands so that both of his are free to find their way to your shoulders, guiding you till you're fully sitting on his lap. "how was your day?" you ask, rubbing your eyes.
he chooses not to comment on how that habit is bad for you. instead, he opts to answer your question with a "oh, you know. just another boring day." his palms come to cradle your face. "and what have you been up to today?" he asks as he bumps your nose with his.
"too much. i'm tired," your eyes close as you melt into his touch. his fingers glide over every bit of skin on your face, and his lips follow with a tender trail of kisses.
"oh, my poor baby," he murmurs sympathetically. "well, at least it's over now, isn't it?"
"thank heavens," you agree, moving to lean your head on his shoulder once more.Â
he senses you attempting to fight your exhaustion in favor of staying awake to spend time with him. he leans his head over yours to prevent you from lifting it up. "go on, it's alright. take a nap." one of his hands finds its way into your hair as he scratches your scalp lightly with his nails in soothing motions. the other massages the shoulder he knows hurts much more than the other, kneading with a firm yet gentle pressure.
soon, he notices your breathing slow down and your movements still, and he knows you're starting your journey to the land of sleep.Â
"rest well, dear," he smiles to himself, cradling the back of your head. "sweet dreams."
sunlight streams lazily through the window blinds, illuminating only a few sections of your bedsheets. somewhere beyond, he can hear the world outside slowly gearing up for the day. he's sleepy, and wants nothing more than to while away the day in bed. but alas, he has work to do. but he could dawdle in bed for, say, a half an hour longer with you, couldn't he?
he takes his time admiring the way you're tangled in the bedsheets, the way you grip his hand even in sleep, the way the scene in front of him is filled to the brim with intimacy and he feels a silent joy take a hold of his heart. a ringing noise cuts through the peace in the air, and he feels you start to shift awake, ready to get up for the day.Â
he switches off the alarm without looking. "just five more minutes," he whispers into your ear. "please?"Â
"we were late by an hour the last time you said five more minutes," you sleepily whisper back.
"i know, but are you really willing to leave such a cozy bed? one with me in it?" he drags the covers around over your head, making a sort of cocoon where only your face is peeking out. "please?" he asks again. "i promise, just five minutes. or maybe ten, but no more than that." he uses the tone of voice he knows you have a hard time resisting.
he knows he's got you when you go, "but iâ" and are interrupted by a yawn. "okay," you finally acquiesce. Â
"thank you, my love." his long eyelashes tickle your cheek as he kisses your jaw. and true to his word, he sits up and pats your arm nearly ten minutes later. this time, you're the one who groans. "five more minutes,"
"the last time you said five more minutes, we were late." he echoes your words from earlier, a smirk dancing on his lips.
"oh, hush you." your hands are outstretched, your fingers bending to make grabby motions at him.
instead of listening to your wordless demand, he holds them in his. "i'm serious this time, my dear. can't have the cavalry captain be an hour late again, it'll set a bad example."
"kaeya, you and i both know you have no cavalry to captain."
"touché." he lies back down, snuggling into your chest. "alright, five more minutes." he smiles smugly where you cannot see it, like a self satisfied cat, glad his ruse worked. don't you worry though, he won't allow the 'last time' to repeat itself. he'll make sure you're both out the door only twenty minutes late this time.
his chest is heaving, heart beating fast; his brow is damp with sweat, and he's scared. terrified. visions, memories, fears, all run through his mind erratically, with no rhyme or reason. the threads of his feelings jumble themselves into a tangled ball, and it's all he can do to not give in to the panic building in his chest.
he presses his lips together to contain any sounds he might make, for the last thing he wants to do is wake you.
too late though. you're already stirring. "kae, are you okay?"
'i'm fine, go back to sleep,' is what he wants to say, but all that comes through is halfway between a sob and a breath. the façade he so desperately tries to keep together shatters the minute he hears your concern for him.
your eyes fly open, and you immediately turn to face him. "kaeya, kaeya, what happened?" you take in his appearance quickly. "another nightmare? i'm so sorry." your hands hover over his, silently asking permission to touch him.
"do you want me to turn on the lights? or get you some water?" you ask softly. he shakes his head, being away from you is the last thing he wants. instead, he reaches for you and you oblige almost instantaneously, gathering him into your embrace.Â
"stay." the visible effort even one word takes does not go unnoticed by you, and so, you try to pull him even closer than he is right now.
there's an unspoken understanding between the two of you to not bring up the bad dream for the momentâ you know he'll talk about it when he's ready. instead, you divert all your energy into reassuring him of your presence while he calms down.
he hears you hum a few notes of a song he recognizes. the familiarity of it and your touch would work together in tandem to slowly soothe him. before he can manage to open his mouth to speak something, anything, cold runs down his spine and he starts to shiver even under a layer of blankets. "it's okay, you're here with me now," you murmur words of encouragement as you try to warm his hands.
to the rest of the world, he's unreadable. hazy, shifty, like a mirage. but to you, you know he's made of glass, just as transparent, and just as fragile. you hold him as such, like he's someone to be treasured, someone to be protected, someone to be loved. he finds solace in your touch, and he's beyond grateful that you're here with him.
and later on, when he knows you've fallen asleep, he breathes an almost imperceptible 'thank you' against the skin of your neck.
"thank you for being here."

A little âChristmas Magicâ
Kirishima x Fem!Reader x Denki
This is my piece for @lemonlordleah-shinzawa-kittenâs Citrus Dome âSnowed Inâ Collab.
Link to the Collab: https://tomurasprincess.tumblr.com/post/637531853698547712/citrus-dome-server-snowed-in-collab
Warning: slightly Scumbag Kiri/Denki, dubious consent (at the start), Possessive/FeralDenki, Smug Kiri, some exhibitionism, lowkey yandere Denki if you squint, dumbification, a little tongue pulling, light cum play
Also, I write Denki as someone who pretends to be stupid but is actually extremely intelligent.
ALL CHARACTERS ARE AGED UP
Being childhood friends with Denki had itâs perks; knowing how intelligent your best friend is compared to how stupid he likes to act is one of them, so you knew that it was no accident he kept you distracted long enough for the blizzard to roll in.
Effectively trapping you in his home with his roommate Kirishima.
âAww come on! Itâs not that terrible! Weâve got good heating, enough food nâ snacks. The worldâs BEST portable charger,â he points to himself dramatically, âAnd, if you do get bored of me, Kirishimaâs here too.â
âYou say that like you were planning on excluding me from your plans.â Kirishima looks at his roommate unimpressed. You stifle a giggle.
âEven if he was, I wouldnât let him.â You nudge the redhead with your shoulder, making him snort a laugh.
âFair enough.â
âSo you agree itâs not that bad?â Denki bats his eyes at you, causing you to push his face away with a scoff.
âAlright alright. It could be worse.â He grins.
âIâm glad you agree!â
The three of you spend the night talking about the latest games the three of you have been following. They had both just convinced you to download a multiplayer rpg when the power suddenly went out, leaving you all in the dark.
âOof, unlucky. I guess even state of the art homes still get black outs.â You mutter.
âMore likely than you think. Here, why not get closer before the temperature starts to drop.â Kiri offers.
âSure, why not. Iâll be thankful for it later anyhow.â You sandwich yourself between Denki and Kiri laying on your back as the three of you bundled together.
âEveryoneâs phones charged up?â Denki peeks at your phone, still going strong at 95%
âYeah, it should be good for a while longer. Anyone up for some music?â
For the next 3 hours, you continue to talk until you find yourself growing sleepy. Comfortably warm, you canât help the way your eyes slip close.
ââââ
When you wake up again, you can still hear the wind whipping around outside. You grab your phone only to be met with the no battery signal. Both boys on either side of you completely knocked out.
You tsk at your own stupidity. âI should have turned it off when I realized I was getting sleepy.â You thought to yourself, leaning over Denki to use his phone to check the time.
The numbers 9:27am stared back at you. Just as you move to settle back into your spot, Denkiâs arms suddenly wrap around you.
âMm⊠five more minutesâŠâ the angle at which he grabbed you made it so you were lying on top of him, your legs straddling his hips.
âUhm⊠DenksâŠâ you try to shake him gently.
âNoooo⊠jusâ five mmmâŠ.â he starts to snore softly again, and youâre left stuck on him.
You sigh, accepting your fate. With your phone dead, you decide whether or not you should stick the charger into his mouth and plug your phone in or if you should just go back to sleep. Unfortunately, with how restless you felt, sleeping wasnât an option, and youâd feel pretty guilty for disturbing him from what must be a good dream.
A really good dream.
Your face erupts into flames when you realize thereâs something hard poking at you. The blush darkens when he groans and his hips jerk up to grind against you.
You would be lying if you said you werenât ever attracted to your childhood friend; blonde hair, golden eyes, killer smile. You saw how popular he was back then, and you can see it in his hero ratings now. Even aside from his looks, his goofy, lovable, secretly intelligent nature made it impossible not to fall for him all those years ago.
But you also knew he tended to be a flirt, which made it hard to tell if he was genuine. Especially since his advances were never directed at you.
Wishful thinking made it easy to believe that he didnât flirt with you because âhe didnât want to think the one person he cares the most about to think he was playing with themâ, but reason told you otherwise.
Youâve met some of his exes, and none of them were like you.
So, in the friendzone you stayed. âBetter than nothingâ, you reason, andâ much to your own surpriseâ youâre satisfied with that.
You shake your head and squirm. âDenkiâŠ! Wake up you idiot!â He snorts when you headbutt his chest, head sitting up as he let you go to rub at the spot you hit.
âAwww⊠I was having a good dreamâŠâ
âIâm sure you were!â You spit, embarrassed.
You make an attempt to hide it. âAlso, I need a favor, my phone died while we were sleeping.â
âAh, yeah. I tried turning your music off, but I guess that didnât work.â You hum, but nod.
âThanks for trying. Mind charging it for me?â
He taps a finger to his chin, pretending to think about it before he grins. âSure, but itâll cost ya.â You snort.
âHa ha. What do I owe?â
âA kiss.â You roll your eyes. Even as a kid, Denki always liked to say stuff like that.
You lean down and press a kiss to his cheek.
âThere, your kiss. Now can you charge my phone?â You have to bite your tongue to hold back a yelp when youâre suddenly flipped over on your back, Denki hovering over you.
âYou can do better than that!â He grins when you snort.
âOh really now?â You plant another, wetter, kiss to his cheek with a smack. âAnd is that good enough for you?â
âNope.â
âOh come on!â You whisper-yell, fake exasperated, âI give! What more could you possibly want??â
âYou really want to know?â
âYes!â
He pauses, eyes watching you for a moment before suddenly his lips are on yours. One hand cupping your jaw, thumb circling the underside of your chin, the other bracing himself over you.
You donât expect it, nor do you expect the way he deepens the kiss so effortlessly even while youâre still floundering for steady ground. He almost seems to be intent on trying to keep you stumbling.
You gasp and pant when he parts from your lips with a wet smack; head foggy with confusion, you donât have any time before his lips are back on yours, smothering you into another blissful, naĂŻve cloud.
You whine when the hand cupping your jaw trails down slowly, fingers intertwining with yours and giving a gentle squeeze, bringing it above your head to pin it there.
âW-Wait!â You gasp, trying to come back down to reality, still not believing whatâs happening.
âNo.â He nips the side of your neck, making you groan softly, âWaited long enough.â
âWh- what do you mean??â You donât get your answer. Instead, he presses more hot kisses to your lips, each accompanied with a soft smack.
âDenkiâ!â You hiss through your teeth when he bites down on your neck again, harder this time. He covers your mouth with one hand, hushing softly.
âWaited too long for this. Shouldâve just said something a long time ago.â His breath is hot against your ear, making you squirm when his teeth nibble on the lobe. âShouldâve told you how I feel ages ago.â
You canât help the excited thumping of your heart, especially if his words mean what you hope they do. You gasp when you feel his hard on grind against you, sound stolen from you when Denki presses another deep kiss to your lips.
âFuck, need you. Need you so fucking bad.â He borderline growls as his free hand disappears below the blanket covering the both of you. Youâre just about to let the haze overcome you when you suddenly hear Kirishima snort from next to you, making your blood freeze.
âDenki..! Kirishimaâs right thereâ!â He groans burying his face in your neck.
âFuck..! I know! âS fine!â He flips you both again so that youâre on top, tugging at the pair of sweatpants you borrowed and your panties.
âWe canât!â He bucks his hips into yours, making you inhale sharply. He tugs you down so your chest is pressed to his. You can feel the way his heart is pounding through your thin shirts.
âFor fuckâs sake, please, baby girl. I canât. I canât wait anymore.â He groans into your ear, hands pinning your hips to his, moving you to grind against him.
âBut Kirishimaâ!â
âKirishimaââ He growls his roommateâs name with disdain, making you shudder with fear and arousal, ââ wonât know if you stay quiet.â He hisses when he finally manages to slide the sweatpants off of you, bare cock nudging against your panty-clad pussy.
âPlease. I need you so fucking bad it hurts. I will combust if I canât fuck you right fucking now.â You shiver when you feel his fingers pull the crotch of your underwear to the side, fingers sliding through your slick and circling your clit.
âOkay, okay okay okayâ wait!â You bite your lip when he shoves his leaking cock into you, growling into your shoulder.
âFuck, fuck fuckfuckfuckfuckâŠâ he groaned, hips fucking up into you with soft âpapsâ
âDenâki!â You whine, grinding down on his cock as much as he would let you.
âThatâs it, babyâŠ. jusâ keep sayinâ mâ name.â
âOr maybe mine.â
The shock of hearing Kirishimaâs voice right by your ear has you clamping down on Denkiâs cock, sending you over the edge when he thrusts roughly into you.
âKiriââ Denki slaps a hand over your mouth, cutting you off.
âSeriously?â Denki growls, pissed. He doesnât pull out though, opting to fuck into you still,
âAww, come on. Iâm not the one breaking promises around here, Denki. Donât get a little salty because I wanted to join in on the fun.â You shudder and moan, overstimulated.
Itâs hard to focus on the conversation as yet another orgasm builds. You can barely focus on the fact that you just got caught fucking your childhood friend by his roommate, at least until two hands grab you by your shoulders and pull you against a firm chest.
âKirishima! Whââ You whine when one arm wraps around your neck, not squeezing, but keeping you pinned to his chest, the other pinching and pulling at your nipple,
âKaminari here canât keep a promise, so Iâm just having some fun touching you.â He laughs, seemingly unbothered. Then he whispers into your ear,
âBut donât worry; Iâll give it to you later.â You squeeze and clench around Denkiâs cock at the sound of that.
Kirishimaâs hand trails down your body, leading a trail of goosebumps until his fingers pinch and tug at your clit. He activates his quirk, the rough sensation of his hardened fingers add to your pleasure until youâre creaming on Denkiâs cock all over again. You whine, trying to pull away from the stimulation, but Kiri just holds you there, letting Denki rut up into you until heâs cumming, hissing through his teeth until he canât bring himself to pull out anymore.
Youâre vaguely aware of the fact that he isnât wearing a condom, but you donât dwell on it. You donât have time to as you feel yourself falling asleep again.
ââââ
When you wake up, youâre cuddled in Kirishimaâs arms. He gives you a bright, toothy smile when he notices your eyes opening.
âWell good morning, sleeping beauty! Well, good afternoon now.â You groan, feeling a little sore.
âWhat time is it?â
âAbout 2pm. You didnât actually sleep that long.â You grunt.
âWhereâs Denki?â
âGrabbing some snacks together. Your phone finished charging, by the way.
He presses the device into your hands and you stare at it owlishly until your brain catches up with your body.
âAh, thanks.â
âSure thing.â
You set it off to the side, sitting up and stretching. Your face twists when you feel something leaking out of you.
âUgh.. I should go and get cleaned up⊠well, as much as I can anyway.â You throw the blanket to the side, but you donât have the opportunity to stand before Kirishimaâs hands are on your hips.
âAbout what I said earlierâŠâ he murmurs softly. It takes you a moment, but you blush when you finally remember.
âWh-what about it?â
âDo you mind?â He squeezes his hands gently.
You chew your lip. Everything considered, heâd watched and helped Denki fuck you, and you certainly were curiousâŠ
â... alright, why not?â Kirishima grins before patting his lap, pushing his shorts and boxers down. Your eyes widen when his cock stands,
âHave you been hard this whole time??â As smug as heâd been acting earlier, he seemed to get a little shy at your question
âMaybe, maybe not.â
âYou were!â He sputters, but pulls you into his lap.
âLook, of course Iâm going to be hard.â He teases the sharp points of his teeth against your neck,
âThinking about all those noises you made, the way you looked on his cockâŠâ he growls playfully, biting down on your shoulder until you whine softly.
âShit... just hurry up then!â You grumble, giving his cock a couple of good strokes.
He flips you around so your back is against his chest again, slowly sinking you down on his cock as you both groan.
âChrist... I see why he wasnât keen on sharing.â Kiri raises you by the hips, slamming you back down on his cock with a hiss,
âSo fucking tight baby girlâŠâ he groans as you whine, falling back against his chest. Your body shakes with his laughter.
âAwww⊠already stupid from my cock stuffing your tight little hole?â He groans, but you can feel the way he grins against your neck,
âThatâs alright, baby. Iâll take care of ya.â
Your whines and moans do eventually attract Denki, pulling him away from his task. He scowls at Kirishima, who only continues to lazily bounce you on his cock.
âYou could have at least waited until I came back.â
âAnd miss a chance at fucking her cute little pussy? I donât think so.â You whine when Kiri forces your hips to still, instead rotating your hips so his cock grinds deep inside.
You feel Denki grip your jaw with one hand, the fingers on his other hand slipping inside your mouth. You yelp when you feel him pinch your tongue, tugging it out and forcing you to tilt your head up to look at him.
âYouâve always had such a pretty little mouth tooâŠâ Denki says more to himself than to you, letting go of your tongue in favor of tugging his cock out of his sweatpants.
âMind if I use it?â
He taps the tip of it against your tongue, groaning a soft âgood girlâ when you suck on it, only for you to choke when he pushes more of his length into your mouth.
âHey, take it easy man.â Kiri starts to bounce you on his cock again, making you moan with each drop of your hips. Denki grunts, cupping your cheeks with his hands,
âSheâll be alright, wonât you baby?â You whine softly, too busy focusing on the rising heat in your core.
âEither way, I donât think sheâs coherent enough to even notice if my balls smack against her chin.â Denki says as he snaps his hips forward again, making you gag.
âWell⊠donât make her sick.â
âSheâll be fine.â
You moan and gag with every drop and rise of your hips respectfully. In some ways, Denki was right when he said youâd hardly notice him shoving his cock down your throat; come later, itâll be sore as hell, but for now, it added to the curling pleasure that only seemed to build the more roughly they treated you.
You feel Kirishima reach forward to pinch a nipple, making you gag out a yelp around Denkiâs cock. Both of them hiss in unison.
âShit, I think she liked that.â Kirishima gives it another painful tug, causing you to whine and your cunny to flutter.
âFuck.. keep doing that.â Denki groans out, forgetting completely about your comfort for a moment when he shoves his dick all the way down your throat, making you choke when Kirishima buries himself balls deep.
You feel like your head is floating aimlessly by the time they start to lose control. Between Kiriâs thick, heavy cock splitting you open and Denki fucking your face, your eyes roll back as you cum hard, whining and moaning through your choked noises.
âFuuuuuck, thatâs it baby! Just tighten up like that!â Kirishima growls as he abandons your nipple, opting to rub your clit instead to keep you cumming.
Denki hisses and pulls his cock out of your mouth, instead leaving the tip on your tongue as he strokes himself to completion.
Both men are loud when they cum, and you can only whine when you feel your body turn to gelatin again.
You grimace when Denki pushes his cum around on your tongue, only removing his finger when heâs satisfied with the look of it. âSwallow for me, yeah?â He pets your cheek when you comply, smiling in satisfaction.
You can feel Kirishimaâs cum leak out of you the second he pulls out. He lets out a low whistle, lightly patting your ass. âWhat a sight to behold.â
You flop back against Kirishimaâs chest, groaning softly. âNow can I get cleaned up?â
âOf course. Just give us a sec, yeah?â
âOr you could just stay like this for-â
âNo thank you, Denki.â
âParty pooper.â

ⶠđ đąđđđđđŠ: ă He laughed.  My darling,  you will never be unloved by me. You are too well tangled in my soul. ă
â„ đđđđđđđ: harem x m/f!reader - the reader is gender neutral in this prologue.Â
â„ đđđđđ: cyoa + smut
"Are we there yetâ?"
You huff, your footsteps obnoxiously heavy as you walk through the grass. Crickets and ladybugs move out of the way, annoyed by your ungraceful waddling. A moth rests on your companion's back and you lazily swat it away.
Mira gives you an exasperated look from over his shoulder, his emerald eyes flickering like there's fire inside them, "It hasn't even been ten steps since the last time you asked." he turns his head away, ignoring you when you stick your tongue out at him.
You can't help being tired after trudging behind him barefoot for what feels like hours with absolutely no indication as to where you're going. Your feet hurt, the damp summer heat of the evening is starting to let up but you're still hot and sweaty and, now that you think about it, maybe a little bit peckish too.
"MiraâŠ"Â
He turns his head immediately, worried about how feeble you sound, and regards you with a stare most people would find intimidating.
His eyes are so peculiar. Like green gems that are constantly glowing. His pupils are slitted like a snake's and you've seen them shrink with displeasure and enlarge with curiosity and affection.
⊠His pupils are always large when he looks at you, even now as he patiently waits for your next complaint.
"I'm tired and my feet are starting to hurt⊠can't you at least tell me where we're going?"
This makes him stop in his tracks so abruptly you bump against his back.
"Oofâ"
Before you can bring your hands up to your tender nose, Mira is cradling your face and tilting it up, clawed hands resting on your skin gently, like you're made of glass.
His face is a dispassionate mask as he checks on you, but you know him well enough to recognize the taut apprehension on his features. His thumb brushes against your cheek and your heart gives a little flutter.
"Why didn't you say something sooner?" he sighs, sounding like a parent scolding his reckless child.
He slowly lets go of your face, his fingers lingering for as long as they can like they always do whenever he touches you, as if pulling away is physically painful to him. Then he kneels in front of you like he's about to propose and grabs one of your feet, forcing you to balance on one leg like a flamingo.
He brushes away the green stains of grass from your skin with his thumb, checking for scratches and blisters, looking visibly relieved when he doesn't find any.
"You humans are so fragile."
You scoff at that. Not everyone can be as perfectly impassible as him. Seriously, you've been walking under the sun all evening and Mira still manages to look like he's ready for the royal ball. His raven hair falls perfectly around his boyish features, and his face is the color of marble and completely void of any sign of exhaustion unlike your sweaty, flushed one.Â
⊠Damn his superior fae genes.
"You didn't answer my question! Again!" You pout and grab one of his horns, giving his head a little shake.
Mira chucklesâa low sound in the back of his throatâand swats your hand away, but when he looks up at you, a snarky reply on the tip of his tongue, his eyes widen and he freezes in place, starstruck.
âŠ
"... Don't do that." He slowly stands up, and since he pretty much towers over you, your hand is naturally forced to let go of him. You completely miss the slight shiver that runs through him when your palm brushes hard against the smooth, black bone of his horn.
"What?" You tilt your head and blink as he avoids your eyes. Did you hurt him when you grabbed him? That's new, he usually doesn't mindâ
"That face." He mutters, stubbornly keeping his eyes on the underbrush ahead.
âŠ
Oh.
A faint smirk makes your lips quiver, but you swiftly adjust your expression. You cup his face much like he did a few seconds before and force him to look at you, suppressing a laugh at how utterly startled he looks.
"You mean this face?" Your long lashes flutter against your cheeks and your lips curve into a small pout.
Mira blinks once, twiceâhis features are lax like he's in a daze and that somehow makes him look even more handsome than usual, brow crinkled and lips parted slightly. His slitted pupils trace a slow path from your eyes to your lips. You make a kissy face at him and you think you see him blush, but you can't tell for certain because he hastily pulls your hands off him and turns away.
"You⊠you're tired, aren't you? I can carry you the rest of the way."
You can't help but chuckle at how awkward he sounds and how stiff his shoulders look, but you decide to have mercy on him and obediently climb onto his back when he leans down to give you easier access. He often carries you like this when you get tired from playing, lifting you like you weigh nothing in a way that makes you swoon. He used to do it princess style, but being carried like that was pretty damn embarrassing so you compromised by going with piggybacks instead.
âMy hero.â you smile and nuzzle your cheek against his soft hairâyou donât need to see his face to know that he looks pleased.
âŠ
...
â...So where are we going?â
âDeerletââ Mira groans, still using his affectionate nickname for you even though you're really testing his patience today; you just laugh and kick your legs in response, profoundly amused by his discomfort. The silvery bells of your delighted voice join the varied sounds of the fairy woods; a small woodpecker flees from tree to tree right above you, startled by your giggles and you glance at it with an apologetic smile on your face.
Deerletâit's what he called you the first time you met him, 'because you looked like a frightened baby deer'.
You believe him, considering how terrified you were after getting lost in this same forest all those years ago. You must have gone pale as a ghost when you saw him come out from behind a tree, dressed in black from head to toe with horns that looked like a demon's. He often forgets to mention that he looked just as surprised as youâyou can't imagine he expected to find a human child so deep in the fairy forest.
Unbeknownst to you, in your panicked stumbling you had almost reached the thick wall of thorny vines that separates your village's side of the forest from the Valley of Thorns, somehow ending up on the opposite side of where you had wanted to go.Â
Youâd completely filled out your miracle bingo card by not only finding another person in the woods, but a fae who knew how to get you back to your village and who offered to help you without asking for anything in return.
There was no particular reason why he helped you, Mira had once told you as you laid on the grass together and looked at the starsâhe just found you pitiful and had an inkling you would have pestered and chased him around until he actually agreed to show you the way home. He was right, of course. Scary fae or not, you would have risked being hurt by a weird-looking stranger rather than being left all alone in the woods any day of the week.
And you were glad you met him, as he became your closest confidant and best friend after that day, always waiting for you to join him at the edge of the forest but never coming out of the treeline. He was very adamant about never visiting your village, no matter how much you begged him to come play at your house. It seemed like he didn't particularly care for humans, with you as the only exception. He didn't wish to meet your parents nor your other friends (he actually got visibly upset if you mentioned being friends with people other than him, so you quickly learned not to bring that up).
Even though Mira makes you feel loved and cared for like no one ever did before, he still hides so many things from youâyou don't even know his surname, for one. You think he might come from the Valley of Thorns but he never gives you a straight answer when you ask him about it, and sometimes he just⊠disappears for weeks without telling you, and you never find out where he went.
You've learned to deal with all his oddities over the years, so you didn't question him today when he told you he wanted to give you an early birthday present before dragging you this deep into the woods.
He warned you he wouldn't be able to celebrate your sixteenth birthday with you tomorrow, so you agreed to spend time with him today to make up for it.
Shaking yourself out of some oddly nostalgic thoughts, you nuzzle the top of his head again and sigh, mentally kicking yourself for thinking about his secrets and making yourself sad. You can't help but smile in his hair when his hands grip the back of your thighs a little harder, a gesture most people would consider too intimate to be just friendly, almost as if he sensed your doubts and wanted to push them away.
Despite everything, you still trust Mira with every fiber of your being. That's why the macabre words he speaks next don't bother you as they would had he been anyone else.
"We're going to a place where no one will ever find youâŠ" He trails off, his voice going back to an arrogant monotone. He might act all cool and aloof but you know he's thinking about making you happy when he picks up the pace, his long legs carrying him much faster now that he doesn't have to worry about you keeping up with him.
"... so that I can kill you without anyone knowing."
You don't care enough about your surroundings to notice how the forest goes eerily quiet. Quiet, like a watercolor painting with the colors suddenly fading to grey. The birds stop singing, the woodpecker whose chirps accompanied your banter stops talking, and the cicadas stop crying.
There's just your soft breathing lingering in the air and the light sound of Mira's footsteps against the grass.
"Yeah okay, Tsunotaro," You stifle a yawn, briefly wondering if you'll be able to take a power nap before you get to wherever Mira is taking you, "You could have told me that before we left. I didn't even get the chance to write my will."
Mira chuckles and suddenly the forest is alive again. The gentle summer wind rustles the leaves above you and caresses your face, flycatchers and wood doves sing happy little tunes and fat bumblebees buzz from flower to flower blissfully. Nature is joyous and alive all around you and it makes you even more eager to find out what Mira has in store for you.
â
You arrive at a clearing in the woods just as the twilight starts giving way to the night. The edge of the sky is a brilliant orange that fades to purple and then to blue, a few diamond-like dots already freckling the sky like someone is skillfully placing them with the tip of a brush.
But you've seen this masterpiece of a sky before, it's what's below that makes your jaw drop as Mira slowly comes to a halt.
A bed of black roses stretches as far as your eyes can see, gently swaying in the breeze, petals and leaves twinkling with sparks of fairy dust. The view looks almost unreal, like a picture from a fairytale book and you strain your eyes trying to take it all in. You think you've been to this place with Mira before, but the roses definitely weren't there last time.
"Miraâ!" You sound almost scandalized as you climb down his back as fast as your limbs allow you. "Did youâdid you plant all of these?!" You take a few steps towards the flowers, the grass satisfyingly wet under your feet, then turn back to face Mira with eyes the size of plates.
âŠ
You think you're seeing things when Mira smiles. It's a goddamn genuine, happy smile. You can count the times you've seen him grin like this on the fingers of one hand. His smiles are usually just⊠arrogant quirks of the lips, but this? You could stare at his face forever.
"Well, I don't know if you can technically consider it planting if it's done with magic, but yes, I did."Â
Magic. Of course, Mira is stupidly good at magic (and pretty much everything else, you hate to admit), but thisâyou struggle to make a single flower grow, let alone bloom. You can't imagine that this was an easy task for a fairy as young as him.
"How long did this take you�"
He actually seems to get a bit shy at that.
"... A couple of weeks. I could have done it faster but finding the time to come here was not⊠easy."
Two weeks. Your heart soars in your chest. He doesn't always have the time to play with youâhe confessed to you he rarely has time for himself at allâand yet⊠and yet he still did all of this for you, on top of coming to see you as often as he could because he knew you were waiting for him. Two weeks.Â
"Oh, MiraâŠ" You close the distance between the two of you and throw your arms around his neck, giggling at how quickly he hugs back, lifting you off the ground with his strong arms around your waist.
"Thank you, I love you!" You place a quick kiss on his cheek, not thinking much about what you're saying because you're so excited. It's not like you don't mean it, but you are a naturally affectionate and bright person, and the words âI love youâ fall easily out of your mouth when you're talking to your friends and family. They all accept your feelings graciously, except for Mira who always seems to falter whenever you say it to him.
You hear his breath hitch and suddenly his hold on you is so much tighterâso tight it almost hurts, but being in his arms always makes you feel oddly safe, even when he straight up squeezes you.
"I love you too, I want you to be happy for all eternity." He lowers you so your feet touch the ground but keeps you pressed against him, face buried in your neck.Â
"That's impossible, silly⊠but I am always happy when I'm with you." You run your fingers through his hair, then follow the line of a horn with your fingertips, making him shiver against you.Â
"...Then it doesn't have to be impossible." Mira raises his head and you stop breathing. The tips of your noses almost touch, his impossibly green eyes burning into yours with so much determination you almost take a step back, overwhelmed by how much emotion he's showing.Â
"Uhm...what?â" He's so close. His eyes suddenly dart to your lips and you think your heart might just collapse. But then he sighs, his warm breath hitting your lips, and pulls away, looking behind you at the vast bed of night-colored flowers.
"Nevermind. Let's go watch the stars."
You think you got whiplash by how fast he changed the subject
"Wait, what? You want to lay down on a bed of roses? Mira, those usually have thorns."
Mira ignores you in favor of stepping into the flowers. He picks one up in a fluid motion that makes you jealous at how graceful he always is, then hands it to you. You get closer to inspect the flower, and your eyebrows raise in a surprised arch when you realize the stem is completely smooth apart from a few leaves.
"I grew them without thorns," Mira suddenly glares at the flower like it's slighted him, "I couldn't have you pricking yourself on my gift. I would have to burn this entire meadow to cinders if that happened."
⊠You barely keep yourself from rolling your eyes. Heâs such a mother hen. He probably worries about your safety more than your own mother!
âŠ
But you have to admit it's also a little bit endearing, in a⊠'play croquet with a helmet on and pillows tied to your limbs' kind of overprotective way.
"Right, let's hope I don't give myself a papercut with the leaves then."
Mira looks absolutely horrified.
"Mira noâ"
â
Stargazing with him is always so relaxing. His voice is smooth and pleasant and you could listen to him talk about the constellations forever, his knowledge of the night sky as extensive as his magical prowess.
When you turn your head and see him lying there on a bed of roses, eyes to the sky as he gives you a long tirade about some promiscuous god turning his lover into a bear, you find him more beautiful than you've ever seen him.
⊠He's so clearly not human that it makes your chest tighten with longing.
He looks about the same age as you, but while your body has changed and developed these past few years, Mira hasn't changed a smidge since your first meeting. You know he's much older than you⊠but heâs never told you his exact age, so you've always quietly wondered.Â
He turns to you when he notices you're not listening, and when he catches your forlorn expression the words die in his throat.
He stares at you for a long time, then turns his body towards you and lifts himself up on his elbow, looking down at you with blazing emerald eyes as he rests his head on one hand.
He smells like cherries and roses, it's a familiar smell that makes your chest feel all warm and fuzzy.
"... Can I ask you something?"
Your brow crinkles at that. He's usually too arrogant to ever be afraid to say what he wants to say, but now he looks almost⊠anxious? Insecure? It's an expression you've never seen on him and you find it hard to describe.
"If you⊠ceased to be human..." It might be because it's nighttime, but his eyes seem to be glowing like campfires.
"Ifâhypothetically speakingâyou could live for centuries like me⊠would you..." He pauses, then looks away with a frown. It takes him a few seconds to collect himself, but when he finally speaks again he sounds much softer, almost vulnerable.
"(y/n)..." The way he says your name makes you shiver. You hear it so rarely from his lips since he usually prefers to call you Deerlet that every time he says it you find yourself unable to speak.
He cups your cheek and admires your features, slowly brushing his thumb against your soft skin.
You're so soft compared to him. The emotion in his eyes is something akin to devotion, but more intense.
So beautiful, so fleeting.
"Would you stay with me forever...?" he mutters softly. His bright eyes roam over you, seeming to drink you in, as if to assure himself that youâre actually there with him.
 ...
 You frown at the strange question.
Why does he look so sad� Did something happen while he was away? Worry pools in your ribcage, your hands compelled to reach out and touch him as if he cast a spell on you.
⊠But you don't, because he's still waiting for an answer.
 â
â„ Would you choose to live forever if it meant staying with Mira for the rest of your eternity?
ⶠYes. Of course you would. Mira is the most precious existence in your life. You often fantasize about being young forever with him, to never grow old, to be held gently in his arms until the end of time. Knowing that this will never happen is enough to break your heart in two.
ⶠNo. Itâs not like you donât love Mira, but living forever would be too much. How could you stand to watch as everyone you love slowly leaves you behind? How could you survive that kind of cold, lonely life? You canât depend on just one person alone forever. Itâs time to go home now, your parents are waiting for you.

How did it happen?
(Bucky barnes x Female reader)
A/n:Â (Tw: cat. If you don't like cats gtfo of here) Although it is narrated in third person, the narration gravitates more around Bucky's pov (sorta). This is gonna be quite lousy so have fun, I guess.. If you can.
"How did this happen?" he whisper-sighed. "How? When?" He asked himself as he was staring into the distance, absent-mindedly stroking the white ball of fur curled up on his lap. Alpine let out a soft meow as if answering his soliloquies.
But for real though, how did he fall for you? The last he checked, you both were calling each other names out of contempt. Y/n y/l/n was simply insufferable, he always thought. Where did your acts of annoyance start blooming into everything he now yearns for?
As much as he would like to hide behind the idea that these sudden, irrational feelings hold no reason and meaning- how could he? How could he hide from what he knows? from what he realized? He could lie to himself all he wants- Hell, he had been lying to himself all this time, ignoring the wisps of light that marked the warnings through the pavements of this path he was sauntering down. He was walking into love and he refused to know it.
He wondered how different things would be now if he hadn't screwed up in your last mission and got you demoted to the archive library duty. Of course, jeopardizing a high stakes mission by starting a quarrel during field action is a grave mistake, but still Fury was being a little too extreme by suspending Y/n off the field for a month. Bucky didn't really believe that any of it was his fault, according to him it was you who were being your impossible self on the field that day. But he did feel sort of bad for you now. Maybe what Bucky shouldn't have done, was to try and make it up to you by spending time with you in that desolate library. Truth be told, it was partly an excuse for wanting to be around you.
There he was again, his thoughts lingering around you. Recounting the events of day before yesterday.
( The day before yesterday )
"Did you find it?," Bucky's voice echoed through the aisles as he walked towards the base of the ladder you were perched on looking for an old file Bucky needed for his mission. "Not just yet," you mused.
The archives library was completely empty except for the two of you. The sound of his boots against the spotless vinyl flooring filled the room as he was pacing back and forth. Clack-tap, Clack-tap, Clack-tap, Clack-tap.  He found the rhythm weirdly gratifying. And he could see you didn't. If something could get you to lose your cool, what's not to love?
"Quit pacing," you sighed, slightly annoyed. He started to stomp on even louder. Clack-tap, Clack-TAP, CLACK-TAP,CLACK-TAP,CLACK-TAP. Your breathing quivered with exasperation, as your shoulders hunched and fell in gliding motions. Just as gratifying, he thought looking at it.
"Quit pacing, Goddamnit!" You practically growled.
"No." He said, scrunching up a smile fighting it's way on his face. "What are you? obsessed? Mind your business," he shot smugly.
"You're making it really hard for me to, you moron," You muttered as he broke out into a grin. Annoying you practically counted as top-tier entertainment for him.
~
"C'mon man, do something," You cried.
"Do what?"
"Search for those godforsaken files, maybe. I honestly-"
"I am searching,"
"No, you're not." You huffed.
"I am, and I'm beginning to think the files are not in he-"
"Shhh" you cut him off. He shot you a questioning look.
"Don't you hear it?" you whisper-hissed.
"Hear what?" he asked as he reached for his weapons, falling into a defensive posture.
"There's somebody else in he-" before you could complete the sentence, you were screaming and everything was collapsing as you fell off the ladder yanking the racks down along with you, a daunting cacophony of heavy crashes and clamours deafening as you and Bucky were whipped by gravity, with absolutely no idea what is happening for a solid couple of moments.
"What the fuck just happened?" Bucky asked as he looked around, his pale blue eyes wide and gleaming with absolute confusion. The racks were all fallen, everything loosely covered with the papers lying around. The room had become a little darker. "I- um.." You started, "I... It was a cat.." you said frantically as you were still trying to shake yourself from the shock. "It was a what?" he asked incredulously. "A cat! I mean, It sort of jumped at my face, and I.. It sneaked up behind the rack... and I jumped and everything fell.. I guess..." You cringed at yourself. Bucky winced and looked around again and that's when he realized. You both were cornered against the inner edge of the wall. The racks had fallen in front of you into perfect forts, blocking your way out. He was practically stuffed against you into a crooked modicum of space. Your back was pressed against his chest, his leg pitted against yours. There wasn't a lot he could've done about that. He was trapped in there with you. But most importantly, he had never been this close to you.
His heart did parkours and cartwheels. He could only hope you don't feel how hard it was beating. Where were all these butterflies coming from? His breath hitched, he wasn't even sure if he was breathing anymore, although it was the last concern on his dumb-foundedly racing mind. He could feel the softness of your hair against his neck, he'd be lying if he said that wasn't the softest, gentlest thing he has felt in about the past seven decades. It smelled like an orchard of flowers. He liked flowers. Although he couldn't tell what flower it smelled like, he knew it would've been his favourite flower. It calmed him down, that was, of course until his eyes looked down. He could see the stretch of your dangerously gorgeous collar bones sparkling in your sweat above your dress's boat-like neckline. His atheism breaking at the sight of that sculpted divinity, he couldn't help but pray, "God give me all the strength you can to keep me from kissing that work of art." The quantum leaps between the intervals of his heartbeats weren't helping either. Oh, at this moment, what he wouldn't give up to be the brittle golden necklace cascading from the graceful steeps and lows of your neck to the flesh over your heart. He held back not of strength, but because of fear.
As he was trying to fathom where all these thoughts were coming from, he was interrupted by you glazing your body against his body as you were striving to reach for a way out of the current situation. The way you groaned softly as you tried to reach for the other side of the rack-fort did things to him that he never would have expected. He was practically petrified. You gave up after a few moments, your head falling back against his ribs due to the impact. "Oof," he said his breath tickling your neck, cooling the sweat enough to send chills down your spine. "I'm sorry," you quivered in embarrassment. "So... there's no way out unless someone helps us out from the outside," you reported. He sighed in reply. He was way too nervous right now to speak in words.
~
"Are you claustrophobic or something?" you asked.
"What?"
"No, your heart has been racing real loud for quite some time now."
"I.. um.. small spaces do that to me,"
"Huh" you huffed.
You felt the coolness of his metal arm against the heated skin below the back of your neck, it was very soothing. He had laid the forearm carefully at a distance from you, and you couldn't help but wish he would wrap it around you. You could feel the vibrations of his vocal cord against your ear lobe as he talked. You were glad he couldn't see your face flushing at that.
Eventually he was able to relax, his heart slowing down. Although the situation was still quite awkward, he was not sure if he was complaining. That's when he heard footsteps. Someone was coming to their rescue. The footsteps grew louder, and there he was.
"Noah!" You exclaimed as he stood in front of you on the other side of the rack-fort. "Y/n! What's.. going on?" Noah asked as he looked at the mess. "Ah, we're trapped. Can you help us out of here?"
~~~
"Thank you," you smiled as he got them out of there with the help of the floor service. "How did you find us here?"
"We had a date, remember? You didn't show up so I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Oh my god, yes we did. All this happened and It totally slipped my mind. Thank god, we did though," you chuckled, looking around,  "Hey Barnes, This is Noah, he works in the communications department,"
"Hey, man" Noah greeted. Bucky gave him a half-nod and a mean look.
~
"You know, it's not exactly late. If you are up to it, we could still go grab some dinner," Noah said, giving you this innocent look that Bucky, for some reason, found revolting.
"Yeah? of course," You were all smiles.
Since when does y/n smile like that? What did she see in this guy? He doesn't even know the guy, so why does he hate him so much? He felt displeased with himself for staring at you and Noah, like, why did he even care now? Bucky had so many questions. The answer was walking out of the hall with somebody else, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He was standing there in the once again empty library, lost in the middle of the bustling race track of his thoughts. That was when he felt something tugging at his legs, pulling him out of the maze he was being consumed by. He looked down at his little rescuer with fur as white as snow. "Hello there," He called, gentleness taking over his voice as he squatted down to pet the little cat that was rubbing its ears on his shoe straps. "Where did you come from, doll?" he giggled, scratching it's chin.
~ ( Today ) ~
"You were a no-show at the debriefing. Where were you yesterday?" You asked as you plopped down on the couch in the kitchen Island, your arm resting on the back pillow, turning your head back and looking at Bucky toying with the cutlery on the counter. "I.. was in my room," he said pushing back a stray lock of hair. "Coffee?"Â "Yeah," you muttered.
As you turned your head you saw a little white cat hopping onto your lap.
"I found her in the library, you know, the other day.. after you left. Guess I'm her owner now, kind of," he said as he handed you the coffee.
"Aww, he made a friend!" You giggled as you scratched the back of the cat's ears. "Hello! Do you like that, you little troublemaker?" you chuckled as the cat warmed up to you with it's eyes closed.
Bucky was blushing like an idiot. You were not gonna lie, that shade of red made him look a little too cute.
"Has she got a name?"
"Yeah well, I named her Alpine. It's a good name, right?"
"Alpine!" you grinned, "It's a lovely name."
~~
"What?" He asked, as you gave him a surprised look after sipping your coffee.
"The coffee is actually good," You said.
"Why, you didn't think I could make good coffee?"
"No, in all these three years, you've brought me coffee like 4 times, 3 out of which you put salt in my coffee and the one time you messed up the sugar real bad. On purpose, I suppose," you accused.
"To be fair, you deserved it,"
"Ah, there it is," you said.
Bucky couldn't help but stare at you. Here he was, sitting on the couch beside you, getting high of sorts on how close he was to you. He had been craving for it ever since the archive library. He locked himself in his room all yesterday, convincing himself that what he felt towards you wasn't real, although it only made more sense despite his inability to believe it. And here you were now, recklessly playing with his heartstrings. The image of a rogue strand of your hair caressing your temple, and your eyes becoming a softer shade of (y/e/c) as the sunlight fell on them vaporized the levee he built around the feelings he never thought would see the light of day again.
As if breaking him out of his trance, you said, "Ah, I'd love to hang around with you guys, but I gotta go. I said I'll be meeting Noah in a couple minutes."
"Right," he could feel his heart dropping for a second.
"Alright then... bye!" You called, and walked out of the room, as he watched your hair swaying to your stride.
And here he was, on the couch, wondering about what just happened. Alpine half asleep on his lap as he unconsciously whispered, "How did this happen?"

A Knightâs Heart
Mirio Togata x Fem!Reader
Summary: Mirio and (Y/n) take Eri out to the local playground, and since there is no one around, Eri asks them to play pretend with her. Mirio as the knight, Eri as the princess, and (Y/n) as the dragon guarding the castle.
Warnings: None
Notes: Readerâs quirk allows her to transform into a dragon when heat is applied, she can also be anthropomorphic in that form
Word count: 2k+
(this gif is so amazing Iâm a sucker for pixel art)
   âOkay, Eri, weâve arrived!â Mirio raised his hands in the air in a grand gesture, showing off the playground they arrived at. It was a decent-sized area, it had multiple slides, plenty of swings, and a plethora of things to climb.
   âThis is a playground?â Eri asked as she stared in awe, never before had she seen one.
   âYep, this is where kids like you like to play!â (Y/n) knelt down next to her, giving her a big grin.
   âCome on, Eri, letâs play!â Mirio grabbed the little girlâs hand and ran up to some stairs that led to a tall, winding slide. (Y/n) sat back on a bench nearby as she watched them. She giggled when Mirio hit his head on a bar, the set was clearly not made for his height, but of course, he laughed it off and brought Eri to the entrance of the slide. They disappeared into the tube and she heard Eri squeal in delight before they reappeared at the end, Mirio fell onto the ground with Eri in his lap, his weight gave them a bit of momentum as they slid down.
   Both laughed as Eri cheered; âAgain! Again!â
   (Y/n) laughed from the side-lines, happy to see Eri was enjoying herself, and happy to spend the day with her crush. Mirio was everything any girl wanted in a man and (Y/n) wasnât blind to his antics, she soon fell for the blonde.
   â(Y/n), you should join us!â Mirio called over as he followed Eri back up the stairs.
   âNah, itâs fine, threeâs a crowd!â She called back, waving her hand dismissively, she wanted Mirio and Eri to enjoy their quality time together, she could tell the small girl liked him more than she did her, which she wasnât upset about, who couldnât like Mirio?
   âCome on!â Mirio ran over to her and pulled her up by her wrists. âThereâs no kids here, not even adults, no will judge!â
   âI wasnât worried about being judged,â she laughed as she let him guide her to the same set of stairs he was at moments ago.
   âThen you should totally play with us!â Mirio grinned, now holding her hand.
   (Y/n) noticed that right as he turned he would hit the same bar again. âWait, Mirio-â she tried to warn him, but was too late as he hit the same bar in the same place.
   âOwwwâŠâ He rubbed his head, it must have hurt the second time around.
   âAww,â she reached her free hand up and rubbed the spot on his head, âpoor wittle baby couldnât watch where he was going.â She said playfully in a tone you would talk to babies in.
   âMaybe you should kiss it better?â He said back in the same tone, leaning his head over for her to kiss.
   âMaybe you should be more aware of your surroundings,â she said in the same tone again but complied to his wish. She placed a quick peck on his forehead and spoke again in her normal tone. âAll better?â She smiled sweetly.
   âI feel so much better!â He grinned. âYour kisses are like magic!â He winked. (Y/n) giggled in response and he chuckled with her as they made it over to Eri on the platform. âLetâs all go down at the same time!â He suggested.
   âI think thatâs too many people, Mirio,â (Y/n) said.
   âOkay, then how about you and Eri go in the slide and we make it a race? I bet I can beat you guys before you make it down there!â
   âYouâre on!â Eri cheered with a look of cute determination.
   (Y/n) laughed lightly. âOkay, we can do that.â She agreed.
   Both girls readied themselves at the entrance of the slide, with Eri between (Y/n)âs legs. âReady? Set. Go!â Mirio yelled at the end. (Y/n) quickly scooched herself and Eri into the slide and slid down. Eri squealed again at the twisting turns of the tube. (Y/n) saw light filtering at the end, but then saw Mirio appeared at the exit. âGotcha!â He cheered with his arms open.
   âMirio, look out!â The older girl yelped as she and the small one practically flew at him.Â
   They crashed into him with a big âoofâ as he fell over and each girl fell onto different sides of him. They all lifted their heads up to make sure everyone was okay before bursting out into laughter. Mirio got a burst of energy as he sat up and wrapped each arm around them and squeezed them tight to his chest. âIâm so glad Iâm spending the day with my two favorite girls!â (Y/n)âs heart soared at his comment. She felt a blush on her cheeks and scales appeared around her eyes from the heat due to her quirk. âWoah, (Y/n), are you okay? Youâve got scales.â Mirio asked concerned as he brushed some hair behind her ear to see the ruby-like scales.
   âYeah, itâs just hot out, yâknow,â she lied and rubbed away the scales with her hands, they turned back into smooth skin.
   âYouâre right! Iâll get some water!â Mirio offered with a smile as he lifted them off the ground as he stood. âYou two stay here, Iâll be back!â He said as he jogged off down the path to a nearby vending machine.
   âThis kinda looks like a castle,â Eri mumbled as she looked at the playground. Then her face showed a big smile as stars filled her eyes with an idea. âWe should play pretend!â She turned around to (Y/n). âIâll be the princess, Mirio can be the knight, and youâll be the dragon!â She pointed her finger as she named each role.
   (Y/n) smiled down at her. âThatâs a great idea, Eri!â Scales began to cover her body again as she felt her body shift slightly. âLetâs steal you away to the castle, princess!â She said as she wiggled her talons at her. Eri let out a loud squeal as the older girl lifted her up over her shoulder and carried her into the castle. She had placed her on a platform near the slide entrance and walked onto a wobbly bridge that connected to a different slide. Her arms were crossed as she stood in a confident pose while she waited for the âknightâ to return.
   Mirio had heard Eriâs squeal and it worried him slightly. He knew (Y/n) was there with her, but he quickly ran back over with the bottles in hand. He slowed to a stop once he noticed (Y/n) was using her quirk and had a menacing aura around her. This worried him as he looked around for Eri and then saw her gripping the bars of a platform, a scared expression on her face. Did a villain show up? Were they hiding around here?Â
   âGlad you could make it, knight!â (Y/n) yelled down to him at the path.
   âHuh?â Mirio gave her a confused look.
   âSave me, Sir Knight!â Eri jumped up and down as she tried to speak in an elegant tone.
   It easily clicked in Mirioâs head what was going on. He was the knight that had to save Princess Eri from the fearsome dragon (Y/n). He set the water bottles on a bench and picked up a long branch nearby before he pointed it at the mighty dragon. âI am here to save the Princess Eri, Evil Dragon!â He spoke loudly in a royal tone.
   âWhat will you do to save her, knight?â (Y/n) replied back in a low tone.
   âI will do anything for the princessâ safety! I will fight you even if it means my death!â
   âGlory and death are not what I want,â (Y/n) began, âI am a dragon, we covet things that humans prize and the princess here is a wonderful jewel to add to my collection!â She gestured to the princess before bringing a hand to rest under her snout in thought. âBut perhaps we could make a trade?â
   âA trade?â Mirioâs voice wavered as he listened to her words. That wasnât how the stories went, right?
   âYes, a trade, what will you give me in return for releasing the princess?âÂ
   Eri looked confused as she looked between the two. That wasnât how the stories went.
   Mirio lowered his sword as he looked deep in thought. What could he trade to a dragon who had everything? He was just a knight, he could hardly offer anything that would be worth more than the princess, not even his own life. His eyes then sparkled as he figured out what to trade. He stabbed his sword into the ground, the dragon and princess confused by his actions, and held his arms open as he stared at the marvelous dragon. âI give you my heart!â
   (Y/n) almost choked as she leaned back slightly as the bridge wobbled, his answer shocked her. âY-your heart?â She stuttered as she tried to look menacing again.
   âI give you my heart in return for the princessâ freedom!â He held his arms open wider, a genuine smile on his face. (Y/n) stood stunned, she didnât know what to say. She knew she couldnât take his words seriously, it was just pretend, but she couldnât help but imagine him actually saying those words to her out of love.Â
   Meanwhile, Eri slid down the slide by herself and triumphantly cheered at her great escape. âI escaped the scary dragon!â She said proudly with fists in the air as she ran toward Mirio.
   âAw, Eri, I was supposed to save you!â Mirio said disappointed as he crouched to her level.
   âClearly this princess doesnât need anyone to save her,â (Y/n) said as she flew herself down beside them before her body returned to its original form.
   Mirio stood up again when Eri ran off to play more, a grin plastered on his face. âI liked the twist you pulled, with the dragon, it was amazing!â
   (Y/n) smiled back. âI liked your answer, that honestly surprised me, I didnât know what you were gonna say.â She laughed at the end, trying to stave off the ache in her heart.
   âWell, I just spoke from my heart.â He answered honestly with a gentle smile. (Y/n) laughed lightly at his answer, thinking he was making a joke back to the answer he made. She shoved his shoulder playfully. âIâm serious.â He spoke again. Her laughter died down as she looked him in his eyes, his beautiful blue eyes. âI meant it when I said Iâd give you my heart.â He grabbed her hand and held it over his chest where his heart beat. She felt how fast it pounded against his chest, she tore her eyes away from their hands and looked back up at him. A small blush dusted his cheeks as he stared at her hopefully, waiting for an answer.
   A blush spread across her cheeks and scales soon followed. âW-w-wait- do you mean- you like me?â She stuttered as she tried to form a complete sentence.
   âYeah, I do,â he replied instantly, âIâve liked you for a while now, I wanted to tell you the moment I knew, but I had to make it special somehow and well you created that special moment!â He grinned and chuckled.
   (Y/n) couldnât stop the smile from spreading on her face, she immediately covered it with her hand when she replied. âI like you too!â
   Mirio removed her hand so he could stare at her beautiful smile. âDonât hide, youâre pretty,â he said as he cupped his hands around her face. They stared into each otherâs eyes again, his eyes drifted down to her lips and hers did the same to his. They sealed the distance with a kiss as she rested her own hands on his neck, her heart sped up, butterflies filled her stomach, a tingle went down her spine, and her leg popped up from the sweetness of it all. It was a long and innocent kiss.Â
   When they parted they heard someone screech in the distance. âEww!â Eri yelled at them from atop a platform. They both looked at her and then hugged each other with a laugh.

[1:48] Exhausted
disclaimer: pic isnât mine, credit goes to its original owner uwu
a/n: h-hello⊠canât believe the first piece of writing I post on here is a smut,,,, yet here we are. feedback is appreciated, hope you enjoy :)
genre: smut
pairing: Hongjoong x reader x Seonghwa
word count: 1356
It was nearing 2 am when Hongjoong, visibly exhausted, got back to the dorms. He was ready to just spend the night with his loving girlfriend, sharing the occasional kiss and cuddling in his bed until they both eventually fell asleep, and he knew youâd be waiting for him. What he didnât expect to see, however, was you cuddled up to Seonghwa, seeming awfully friendly, and a spark of what he assumed to be jealousy caused his eyes to darken with a low growl as he dropped his bag and started walking towards you.
You didnât even hear him come in, engrossed in your conversation as you were, so you jumped in your seat with a yelp when he nipped on your earlobe. âDidnât know you were so close to my hyung, babygirlâŠâ, he whispered. A shiver ran through you at his comment. âI⊠Weâre not as close as you thinkâŠâ âIs that so?â He pulled away from you. âExplain this, then.â, he demanded, gesturing to Seonghwaâs arm around your shoulders and his hand resting on your thigh, dangerously close to your core. âWell, um⊠IâŠâ, you stuttered, unable to form a coherent answer to your loverâs question with how piercing his eyes were as he stared at you, eyebrow raised. You dropped your gaze to your lap, face flushed red.
He sighed loudly and shared a look with Seonghwa, nodding at him. You heard your boyfriend hum and looked up at him.
âJoongieâŠ?â, you called for him, promptly being ignored as he walked around to the front of the couch you were on so he could passionately claim your lips with his, your arms wrapping around his neck with a soft moan.
Your eyes flew open when you felt Seonghwaâs hand creep to in-between your legs and palm your heat through the thin fabric of your panties, and you pulled away from Hongjoong with kiss-swollen lips, just in time to catch the mischievous glint flashing through his eyes as he smirked.
A shudder went through you when he spoke, voice hardly above a whisper as his hands slid up and underneath your thin shirt while Seonghwa pulled his away. âKitten, if youâre going to be this greedy and make it this obvious, weâll have to make sure youâre given a proper punishment~â
He turned you around, pulling your lower half into his lap, the rest of your body colliding with Seonghwa with an âoofâ.
âWell? Get to work, princess.â You couldnât tell who gave the order, mind already hazy from arousal as you muttered a âyes sirâ and unbuckled Seonghwaâs belt with shaky hands before watching him pull his pants and boxers off in one swift movement.
You swallowed nervously at the size of his cock, unsure of whether you could take it entirely. Your boyfriend eagerly nudged you from where he sat, stroking your thighs affectionately, causing you to take a deep breath and take as much of Seonghwaâs length into your mouth as you possibly could, realizing with shock how big he actually is. âH-HwaâŠâ, you whined weakly as he ran his hand through your hair, giving an experimental thrust of his hips and making you gag slightly.
âFuck⊠you shouldâve told me how good her mouth is.â Hongjoong hummed at his friend, amused, as he pulled your panties off, the cold air hitting your heat causing you to shiver involuntarily.
âWeâve barely done anything to you, and youâre already dripping? I had no idea you were so hungry for cock, loveâŠâ You wiggled your hips a bit in an attempt to coax him into doing something and, to your surprise, it worked â you had no idea when he freed his dick from its confines, but you definitely werenât complaining when you felt him teasingly press his tip against your entrance and you let a strangled yelp escape your mouth.
You were a little anxious about this whole situation initially, but you had a safeword in place and knew that neither of the guys would ever hurt you on purpose, and so you pushed yourself back onto your boyfriendâs cock while digging your nails into Seonghwaâs thighs to ground yourself.
âSo willing to be ruined by us, doll, so pretty and obedientâŠâ, the latter breathed huskily, at the same time as Hongjoong burying his cock as deep inside your pussy as he could. You keened as he leaned forward, sucking on your neck.
âŠAnd then he thrusted, hard, pushing you further down on Seonghwaâs cock and causing you to choke. As if there was a secret pact of sorts between the two men, Seonghwa gave another thrust, bottoming out inside of your throat and making a broken moan slip past your lips.
What happened in the next few seconds was mostly a blur to you, mind already clouded from pleasure, which wasnât necessarily a bad thing considering who was responsible for it.
You finally lost it when both Hongjoong and Seonghwa started thrusting into you at same time, their cocks stretching both of your holes oh-so-deliciously and you couldnât help mewling excessively loudly, the feeling being overwhelming and your jaw going slack.
When your lover then reached forward to pinch your clit, subsequently changing the angle he was pounding into you at, you just about screamed, melting into him as you sloppily continued working your tongue on the otherâs length and dug your nails into said maleâs strong thighs. Hongjoong moaned lowly into your ear, voice husky and seemingly an octave or two deeper than usual, as he kept on playing with your body and using it to quench his desire. âDaddyâs so proud of you, sweetheart⊠Such a good little slut, taking our cocks so wellâŠâ
You heard Seonghwa groan, leaning up in your drunken haze to look at him with his hand still pulling on your hair, and with how he twitched in your warm mouth, you could tell he was close, and all it took for him to release himself down your throat was a well-placed swirl of your tongue on his tip and he let out a loud moan, smirking at seeing you swallow every single, sweet drop he was giving to you with his continuously bucking hips before he eventually softened and pulled out of you, letting go of your hair as well.
Your face hit the couch cushion cheek-first once Seonghwa had moved away a bit, and you panted while Hongjoong continued drilling into your tight heat like there was no tomorrow.
âP-please~ Iâm gonna⊠gonna cum, daddy. C-can I~?â, you whimpered pathetically, desperately hoping your boyfriend would be swayed by your begging and say yes. âHm~ With how nicely youâve been behaving, I might as well let you. Cum on my cock, princess.â
That was the final straw for you it seemed, your walls fluttering around his throbbing dick uncontrollably, your whole body spasming as you screamed out your orgasm for the world â or neighborhood, rather â to hear. You were promptly silenced, however, when you felt a hand wrap around your throat and squeeze it gently, your eyes snapping open as your back arched underneath Hongjoong.
He pushed himself to the hilt inside of you with a grunt, hitting your sweet spot just right, and painted your insides white with his cum before eventually pulling out when he had finished, watching with a chuckle when you briskly shivered as some of it spilled out of you. âI love you, and I love the way you let me fill you up every timeâŠâ
He cooed affectionately, picking you up carefully and making his way to the bathroom with you. âNow letâs get you cleaned up, hm?â, he doted on you, tilting his head back to signal Seonghwa to come with, his exposed neck too tempting not to nip on and he hummed, amused.
He did love you and he wonât lie, he really enjoyed seeing you choke on his friendâs cock so willingly. Unbeknownst to him, you had enjoyed that session more than you let on, and will definitely attempt to bring up the wish to repeat it, maybe even with switched rolesâŠ

One of the kids getting lost in a crowd.
Find Her
A/N: Have I ever told you how much I love angst? Oof, too much. This is set in the same au as this fic here, but thereâs no need to read it to understand this. You only need to know that Nessian have five children: Ezra (15 - heâs 14 in the other part), Cal (10), Nora (7), Celia (6) and Andra (4). Ezra is my bby boy and I think we can all agree heâs the best;)
Enjoy!
Word count: 5,175
Cassian couldn't get over how hot a human being could get before collapsing or dying. He could feel the sweat dripping down his back as if he were under the shower jet, and Andra's sticky little hands pulling on his left arm every four seconds didn't help. His mind was somewhere else as he led his family toward the market parking lot.
They were spending their summer vacation in Adriata and although the last ten days had been great, today Nesta had had the great idea of taking the whole family to one of those traditional street markets and it hadn't even taken two hours before the whole Navarro team started complaining that they wanted to be at the beach instead of at that place of "old men with three minutes left of life" - as Celia had described it.
Nesta had tried to convince them that they could have fun there too, watching the locals as they created traditional items from the region and cocked typical local street food, but when she had turned around to see the reaction of the clique, even Cassian had a bored grimace on his face and had sighed, she had decided she stood no chance against them.
After all, though she would never admit it out loud, she didn't even mind all that much spending another day on the sand soaking up the sun while her kids played in the water and didn't bother her.
"Dad are you okay?" asked Ezra suddenly. Cassian turned to his son with a furrowed brow and maybe he had moved too fast because he saw black for a second.
He nodded bringing a hand up to his face to cover himself from the sun, "It's this goddamn heat that's making me sick, but I'm fine don't worry."
Nesta gave him a wary look, ready to snap forward in case her husband decided to pass out, but Cassian smiled lovingly at her and she sighed again, lowering her hat over her face.
"When we get to the beach can we go swimming right away?" asked Andra mumbling half the words as she ate a cookie.
"No, you have to wait until I've put sunscreen on you and everyone else," Nesta answered her flatly - they had that talk every day now. "No one goes in the water until you're all ready, remember?" her mom asked her.
Andra nodded, a little disappointed that she wouldn't be able to jump into the water the second they arrived. They'd made that rule after the fourth time the first two to be ready and âsunscreenedâ had run into the sea and left the others alone and it had been a ruckus of crying and fits of abandonment.
"I'm hungry." said Celia hopping in front of them and starting to walk backwards so she could look them in the face. Cassian was about to tell her to watch out for the road when the little girl stopped and frowned, making everyone else stop as well.
Nesta extended a hand towards her to cross the street, "We'll figure it out when we get to the car, now give me your hand come on."
"Mom," Cal said with a hint of agitation in his voice. Cassian turned to him feeling his uneasiness. His son's dark eyes locked into his, "Where's Nora?"
Ezra jerked his head up, taking his eyes off his phone, "She was next to me ten seconds ago." he said.
Cassian let go of Andra's hand, moving between them to see if she was hiding behind someone. "Nora!" he called agitatedly. He cast a quick glance at Nesta before starting to walk briskly in the direction they had just come from, motioning the people walking towards him. Ezra brought a hand to his hair and cursed.
Nesta counted her children and gave a choked noise, closing her eyes, "Let's be calm."
"Nora!" they heard Cassian yell again as the reality of what was happening was spread over them like a giant, suffocating black veil.
Ezra stepped closer to her, eyes wide, "I'm going with dad."
"No." said Nesta immediately, her hands beginning to shake. She felt her legs bounce with the need to run after Cassian and find their daughter. Her eyes darted from spot to spot in the garden, behind the bench, through the trees, next to the playground. Nora seemed to be nowhere to be found.
She heard a ringing in her ears and the faint sound of Cassian's voice shouting in the distance.
"Mom." called Ezra to her again, with more urgency.
Nesta snapped out of her trance and grabbed Andra's hand, taking her in her arms and giving her to Ezra, who took his sister without hesitation, "You hold them, I'll go with dad." then she pushed Celia and Cal closer to their older brother, "Please, please don't wander away from here." her voice broke mid-sentence and Ezra winced. He had never seen his mother so upset in his life. None of them had.
Andra began to whimper, probably only just realizing in that moment that Nesta was about to leave. Ezra put a hand on the back of her head and pushed her against his shoulder, "I got this, go find Nora."
Nesta looked into his eyes and blinked a few times, then counted again. One, Ezra, two, Cal, three- three, Celia, four, Andra. Only Nora was missing.
She turned and without another word began to run through the crowd, letting her eyes run over every figure shorter than her hips.
Her stomach was twisting so hard she was afraid she might throw up at any moment.
"Nora."
She saw Cassian freeze suddenly across the garden. Leaning forward as he brought his hands to his mouth in a daze and then resumed running through the crowd shouting his daughter's name.
Nesta stopped in turn, starting to spin around.
This place was too big.
Too big.
She began to breathe heavily, resuming to dart through people, asking anyone if they had seen a little girl with black hair and dark eyes.
No one answered her, but the reaction of the others was always the same. Their faces scrunched up in grimaces of pity and sadness.
Where is my daughter?
The second those words formed in her head a sob came desperately from her throat, scratching its way out of her.
A couple beside her had stopped and were about to approach her, but Nesta had no time.
She started running again, "Nora!"
She felt the dread of any possible option make its way inside her. The idea that she had only strayed from the family and was safe a hope too great for her to wish for.
The image of someone drawing Nora's attention away from the family and kidnapping her was as vivid as a picture in her mind.
How had this happened?
They had all been together until seconds before.
How had it-
Nesta's breath suddenly caught as her vision blurred and she leaned forward, bringing a hand to her throat. She closed her eyes, trying to breathe in enough air to keep looking for Nora.
How many minutes had passed?
How long had she been looking for her?
She felt a hand settle on her back and she snapped forward, pulling herself up and turning around to see who it was.
How long had she been gone?
Nesta sobbed as her face turned into a mask of pain. She had never seen that fear, that terror, in Cassian. She thought at that moment that no parent should ever be forced to feel such utter horror.
Cassian brought his hands to her shoulders, "Nes, I know," his voice as hoarse as hers, but his eyes were so serious, so focused, "I can't find her either, but she can't be too far away." he tried to reason with her.
"What if-" she took a shuddering breath, "what if she hasn't gone far?"
His eyes darkened as he squeezed her shoulders.
"What if someone took her?" she breathed.
Cassian shook his head, looking around, "Don't talk shit, kids get lost all the time," then turned around eyeing all the kids running through the crowd, "She'll be around here for sure."
Her children never strayed.
"Listen to me," Nesta demanded, "it happens. Children get kidnapped and- and taken to the other side of the world to be sold." another sob escaped her.
Cassian closed his eyes, breathing through his nostrils, "Can you please not talk about child trafficking right now?" he begged her. Then she looked over his shoulder and behind him immediately after, "Where are the others?" the panic clear in his voice.
Nesta put a hand on his chest, "They're with Ezra at the entrance of the park." she reassured him, "So if Nora comes through there, they'll see her."
Cassian nodded, then gave her a quick kiss on the lips, bringing her hands to her face, "We find her, okay?"
Nesta nodded.
"And we're not leaving until we do," he murmured.
Then they parted again.
Every time she heard a child crying, laughing, screaming, Nesta felt hope bloom in her chest and her heart break when she realized it wasn't Nora.
A lady had flanked her after ten minutes and they had been looking together for half an hour. She had returned to the entrance after a few minutes to leave Ezra some money and the car keys in case they needed anything, but she had begged them again not to move from where she had left them.
"What was she wearing?" the woman asked. Nesta turned to her with wide eyes and it was as if he couldn't see her. She was looking at her but had no face, no name.
She shook her head, bringing her hands to her temples and closing her eyes, trying to remember what she had taken out of the suitcase that morning, but billions of memories and images were repeating in her head.
The first outfit they had given her when she was still pregnant and had found out she was expecting a girl. The way she had realized just then that she was going to have a little girl.
All the pairs of white and pink and purple booties they had bought her. All the toys she had been submerged in and all the things her aunts and uncles had spoiled her with by being the first of the girls to enter the family.
"I don't remember," she whispered, "I don't remember. My husband dressed her this morning."
Oh god, Cassian.
She hadn't seen him in half an hour, but she knew that he too had gone to make sure the others were okay and had stayed put at the entrance. Cal had made sure to let her know.
The lady put a hand on her shoulder, "It's okay, it's not important." then she stepped closer and Nesta looked up, "If you don't want to involve the authorities that's fine, but there's one of the park rangers there, I think it would be wise to go talk to them, spread the word. Maybe Nora could hear someone talk about it too and get help."
Upon hearing her daughter's name, Nesta felt the tears build up behind her eyelids again. She nodded slightly and then the woman pushed her towards the ranger.
***
Cassian was going crazy.
Never in his life had he felt such extreme fear as he was feeling right now.
He could hear Nora's voice calling to him from every direction and none.
He could hear her laughter like an echo in the distance. He could see her dark, ever-cheerful eyes and-
"Nora!" he shrieked with all the voice he had left. He had lost track of time, but he knew it had been too many minutes, too many seconds, since his daughter had walked away. Too much time for her not to be crying in despair because she couldn't find her parents, her brothers or sisters, any person with a familiar face. He didn't want to picture her thinking they had abandoned her.
A group of people turned toward him, shocked by that sudden burst of hopelessness and anger. He brought a hand to his mouth and choked on a sob.
Nesta had planted the seed of doubt in his head and now he couldn't think of anything else but Nora being dragged away by strangers.
He tried to take a deep breath, to no avail.
Where are you? Where are you-
"Nora where are you?" he said in a broken voice, spinning around. Â
Two girls in the group stood up, approaching cautiously.
"Sir," one of them asked. Under other circumstances, Cassian would have laughed in outrage at that word. "Have you lost someone?"
"My daughter, Nora," he answered immediately, continuing to look around. How was it possible that there were so many people and no one had found her yet? Surely, a little girl crying in need would have found help right away. "She has dark hair and today she had two braids with fuchsia scrunchies and light blue pants and a green t-shirt."
"We heard one of the guards talking to your wife, I think," said the other. Cassian looked at them, they both had serious and worried expressions on their faces. "If you want we can help look for her."
"Please." he murmured, nodding. The words left his mouth before he could think them out.
One of the two girls turned to the group, "Guys come here."
It didn't take Cassian more than a minute to explain where they had last seen her and how she was dressed, how tall she was. And although he knew these people's intentions were good, he couldn't block out the concern. He was providing a clear picture of his daughter to a group of strangers that could have been as dangerous as they were helpful.
The feeling of panic and dread only intensified as they all scattered, beginning to shout his daughter's name.
He couldn't help but wonder if this would only make the situation worse.
Nora was smart and would never leave of her own will. But she was also very reserved, probably the shyest of their large family, if she heard someone call out her name, Cassian wasn't sure she would come forward. In fact, it would probably get the opposite reaction in her and make her look for a way to hide.
After all, he and Nesta had taught her not to trust strangers.
He ran his hands through his hair, taking a deep breath.
How was he going to explain to Nesta that he couldn't find her anywhere?
How was he supposed to get out of that place if he wasn't holding his daughter?
***
Nesta had fainted.
The lady had been just in time to put an arm around her waist when her legs had given out under her weight. She had closed her eyes for a second and then found herself lying on a bench, while someone pulled her legs up to get the blood flowing to her head, surrounded by curious and worried people.
"Nora..." she murmured, trying to find out something about the situation.
She wasn't crying, but she could feel the tears sliding down her temples.
Fuck the heat, fuck the low blood pressure.
She needed to find her daughter.
She had pulled herself up to her seat, despite the protests of the people around her, and resumed wandering around the park, screaming Nora's name as loudly as she could. It was as if the whole world was looking for her now. She could also hear the voices of others saying the name again and again and again.
She felt her legs weak and her knees wobble beneath her, ready to buckle from exhaustion, ready to give way one more time when she heard it.
"Mom!"
Nesta's head snapped in the direction of the sound, perhaps too quickly as she couldn't focus on anything, but she had already begun to cry when her daughter's small, puny body collided against her legs, leaping into the air to be picked up. Nesta let herself fall to the ground, taking Nora's face in her hands and laughing through her tears, looking into her eyes, making sure she was okay and unharmed. She was crying too, but she didn't seem to be hurt.
She wrapped her arms around the little girl as she too cried and hid her face in her mother's neck. Nesta breathed heavily when a sob broke the crying, one hand went to caress the girl's head.
"Nora." she whispered, "Nora, Nora, Nora-" she repeated over and over.
Her daughter's hands tightened around Nesta's shirt and she didn't care about anything else but the fact that Nora was okay. She was safe.
"Oh thank god." she heard someone say and then a loud thud, before arms wrapped around both of them and Cassian's sobs of relief and exhaustion from the dread they had shared so far joined theirs.
Nesta pulled away just enough so her husband could see that Nora was intact and when the little girl saw her father, a sound that Nesta wished she never heard again in her life made its way between them, produced by her daughter, "Dad!"
A huge smile spread across his face and Nesta laughed amidst tears, "Potato," he called before Nora launched herself onto him and wrapped her little arms around his neck. Cassian's hands left their place on Nesta's back and tightened on Nora.
"It's okay honey," she whispered, resting her forehead against Nora's back, "you found us." she continued when she heard her daughter sobbing louder.
She met Cassian's gaze over Nora's shoulder and smiled at him, letting go a sigh of relief and closing her eyes.
They stayed cuddled on that lawn until Nora stopped sobbing so hard that it seemed impossible to speak and each sob was like a stab to the heart. Nesta and Cassian had spent an hour looking for her, terrified that someone had kidnapped her, but Nora must have thought they had abandoned her, left her behind.
At the mere thought that she was the cause of the heartbreaking cry that was shaking her daughter, Nesta pulled Nora's arms away from Cassian's body and brought her to her chest, cradling her as she told her how much she loved her and how worried she had been. Then, to play it down a bit, she added chuckling, "Mom even fainted at one point, you know?" Nora's eyes had looked up at her at that point, "I fell straight down on the floor and some gentlemen had to lift my legs-"
She was interrupted by Cassian, "You what?"
She looked up at him, smiling wearily, and he seemed to realize how white she actually was just then. Cassian dropped his head forward, bringing a hand over his eyes, "Sorry I didn't notice, I was thinking about Nora-"
Nesta put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm fine." she told him, then looked at Nora again, "I'm fine." she repeated more slowly, moving a strand of hair from the little girl's forehead and smiling at her.
She felt Cassian's gaze on her, trying to figure out if she was actually okay, if she was going to pass out at any moment, but she didn't care. Nora was in her arms and breathing and intact and she didn't care about anything else.
The lady who had helped her had brought them a small bottle of water and now Nesta was sitting Nora down so she could drink.
"Easy there." Cassian had told her seeing how she had stuck to the bottle. It had hurt them both to see how quickly she had finished half the water.
That wasn't thirst, that was fear.
Nora hadn't said anything yet, but they knew it was only because she was in shock.
They had thanked everyone who had helped look for her and then turned back toward the exit, Nora in Cassian's arms, her head resting on her father's shoulder and her arms dangling at her sides as she slept worn out with emotion.
When Celia saw them coming she broke away from the group, starting to run towards them and shouting Nora's name, but Nesta brought a finger to her mouth and she froze dead in her tracks, but she was smiling. As were the other three for that matter.
Cassian could see the remnants of a cry on Andra's face and felt guilty for leaving them alone in the sun for so long without returning to them from time to time. He saw Ezra close his eyes and sigh with relief more than once and put Andra down, who along with Cal ran to their parents. Ezra sat down on a bench, bringing his hands to his face.
"Nora's resting now, okay?" pointed out Nesta to her three children. They all nodded frantically. "So let's not make too much noise."
"Mom and I thought we'd go back to the hotel, at least for a few hours," Cassian continued, keeping his gaze fixed on his oldest son, who still kept his elbows on his knees and his face hidden in his hands, "Then when she wakes up, after we've all eaten, we''ll see if we can go to the beach for a few hours, sounds like the plan?" Andra let out an excited squeal and Celia shushed her, Cal simply nodded, but he still looked worried about Nora.
Nesta smiled at him and lowered herself to their height. As if she had been a magnet, the three children immediately reached out, touching her in some way: one hand on her shoulder, one on her knee, one on her hand. Cassian stepped back.
"Nora's fine, I mean it," she squeezed Cal's tiny hand. "Sorry we were gone so long, but we couldn't find her," she explained to them, "We went all over the park, made new friends, talked to the park guards. I even fainted from the heat, ouch." she brought a hand to her forehead, imitating the fainting gesture, to make them laugh. It only worked with Andra. "But we're all fine, we're all here."
Nesta smiled, "One, Ezra." she said, "Two?"
"Cal." said the person directly concerned.
"Three?"
"Nora." said the girls.
"Four?" asked Andra.
"Celia." replied her sister, "And five?"
"Me!" squealed the youngest.
"That's right, you're five and you're all here," said Nesta, "You do know we didn't want to leave you alone here?" she asked, hesitant to introduce the subject. Three little heads nodded in confusion. "Dad and I would have reacted exactly the same way for all of you," she continued, "And we're sorry if we scared you acting like that, but we were scared too," she explained, stiffening her back and watching each of her children's reaction carefully, "If you feel that you're scared or stressed or want to cry because it seems like too much, you can do that. Mom and Dad cried, too." Celia opened her eyes wide, mouthing a dad and shifting her gaze to her father.
Cassian was much more emotional than Nesta, actually, but he tried never to do it in front of his kids because he knew it made them restless and sad. It had only happened a few times and Cassian still hadn't forgiven himself for making his kids worry like that, but that didn't mean they didn't teach them to express their feelings openly.
"These are stressful situations for everyone, so we understand if you need to release some frustration." Nesta smiled at them. Then an idea occurred to her, "How about when we get back to the beach tonight or tomorrow morning, we scream under the water so loud that we scare the little fish?"
Celia and Cal nodded again with excitement. Andra frowned, "I don't want to scare them."
Nesta stroked her face, "Then you'll sing to them and scream just a little bit loud. So we can let go of some of the stress of this horrible day, hmm?"
They all seemed to agree.
"Can we get pizza when we get to the hotel?" asked Celia with a strange glint in her eye. The little girl knew perfectly well when to ask for certain things. She knew full well when Nesta wouldn't be able to resist giving her kids everything they wanted without batting an eye.
Nesta nodded.
The children suddenly rejoiced and began to do a little dance that had been a tradition for more than seven years now. Something little Cal and the still child Ezra had invented when theirs sisters weren't even an idea.
Smiling, Nesta pulled herself up to her feet again, "Come on let's go to Dada."
***
"Ezra." murmured Cassian.
His son's head snapped toward him and he frowned. Cassian contracted his jaw.
"How is she?" asked Ezra in a raspy voice. Realizing this, he cleared his throat and pulled himself up to sit with his back straight, looking away from the approaching duo.
Cassian watched him closely, "She's fine, she got really scared and her mom found her crying, but she's fine." then he sat down next to him, being careful not to bend Nora's legs. Ezra bent down to his little sister, stroking her forehead, as Nesta had done only a few minutes before. "How are you?"
"Fine," his son replied too quickly, "why? How am I supposed to be?" he asked, snickering nervously.
Cassian was tired. So tired that if it wasn't for the fact that he had to take everyone to the hotel, he would have fallen asleep on the first free bench and slept for days, but he had to make sure his son was okay.
"Because we left you alone with the other three and it's not a small thing. Thank you for doing this." said Cassian to him, looking at the wedding band on his finger and playing with the ring, trying not to make the other uncomfortable.
Ezra shrugged, "I do it all the time, it's no big deal."
"That doesn't make the task any easier," his father murmured. "In fact, the fact that you do it every day is admirable and I'm sure without you, Mom and I wouldn't survive half a day," he chuckled. Ezra smiled wearily.
"How are you?" he tried again.
The boy seemed to really think about it, "I was afraid something bad had happened to her, but I couldn't do anything about it and I couldn't talk to the others about it because they're still too young and I'm sure a riot would have erupted if I said even half the stuff I was thinking," Ezra confessed in one breath. Cassian was about to respond, but his son continued, "And then Andra started crying and Celia was hungry and I didn't know what to do because she didn't like the stuff at the food trucks, but I couldn't get out of the park because if Nora came by, I'd lose her and-" he took a deep breath and looked toward Cassian, "You know?"
Cassian wished he didn't know. He wished his son didn't have to take those things into account. He wished he and Nesta didn't have to lean on him so much.
"Yes, I know," he murmured. Then he looked into his eyes, "I know your mom has been telling you this since you were born, Ezra, but if you want to cry because it all gets to be too much, no one is going to make fun of you or tell you to man up. You know it's all bullshit." said Cassian, turning slightly towards him, "Andra and Celia don't know how to talk about their emotions yet because they're too little, same with Cal and Nora and they cry to make us understand they're feeling too much. Just because you can release some of the tension by talking about it, doesn't mean it has to be just that way."
"I know," Ezra nodded, "I know," he said more softly. Then he ran a hand over his face, "Although I'd rather you didn't give me these heart-to-hearts in the middle of so many people."
Cassian chuckled, already feeling lighter upon hearing that Ezra had started joking again. He just had to make sure his son knew one last thing.
"Maybe not in situations like this, because we really needed you today," he said sincerely, "But when we're home and Mom and I want to take a night off and ask you to babysit, if you're not up for it or even just don't feel like it for one night, tell us and we'll figure something else out or we'll go out another time." Cassian watched as his other children danced in front of Nesta and smiled, "We would never want you to feel forced to parent."
"Yeah yeah, I know," Ezra chuckled, "all that talk about me being a son too and not having the same responsibilities as you as a sibling." he turned a relieved look to his father, "Mom reminds me enough that I know her speech better than happy birthday."
Cassian burst out laughing at Ezra's exasperated tone and when Nesta and the others stopped in front of them they were all smiling. Nesta leaned forward over her oldest son kissed his forehead, "Thank you, love."
Ezra nodded just once, a tight smile on his lips.
"Can we please go now?" sighed Cal. Celia nodded beside him, ever the one to agree with her brother.
Cassian pulled himself up with a grunt and then Ezra, who took Andra's hand and held it tightly as if afraid she might disappear at any moment.
"Are you going to sing or yell at the fish?" asked the little girl as they crossed the street.
"What?" asked her brother laughing.
"Do you sing like me or yell with mom?" she demanded without giving any context yet again.
Ezra shifted his gaze to his father and Cassian looked as confused as he was, so he looked at his mom, who was laughing under her breath.
"Mom?"
"I may have promised them that we would scream underwater to release some of the extra steam," she explained.
Cassian chuckled, shaking his head, "Sure, all normal."
Ezra shifted his attention to Andra, "I think I'll sing with you." he replied, smiling.
Eyes as light as his locked on his face and then a lighthearted laugh made its way between the two and Ezra couldn't help but laugh along with his sister, picking her up and spinning her around in the air.
Nesta counted her children one last time before getting into the car and when she got inside, she leaned her head back against the seat, sighing. Cassian mimicked her and then leaned toward her, Nesta turning just in time for their lips to collide.
A roar of disgust and embarrassed giggles erupted from the backseat, and Nesta thought she'd never heard such a beautiful sound while still smiling at her husband.

Hey! I was wondering if you could write about the reader with Jean Grey powers (xmen) who keeps to herself until the bakusquad decide to recruit her? Then after hanging with them the reader opens up and bakugou starts to have feelings for her and confesses? Thank youuu
a/n:Â hiya! of course! i havenât seen xmen in a minute oof i should rewatch them. thank you for the request hun!
summary:Â after watching you in action and then sulk off to your room alone, bakugou and the bakusquad get tired of seeing you alone so they decide to recruit you, but bakugouâs feelings for you only get stronger
key: (y/n) - your name / (f/n) - first name / (l/n) - last name / (e/c) - eye color / (h/c) - hair color / powerful psychic abilities -Â your quirk; for more info on this, you can look at the jean grey wiki page
warnings: swearing, fluff

Watching you in action was riveting. You had immense power, power Bakugou hadnât seen in a while. It was an unusual power. After seeing All Might and other pro heroes fight, comparing you to them felt a little pathetic, not that the way they fought was weak, but you exhibited power from not just strength, but with emotion, with your mind, with your body.
You were unique in so many ways. From the way your hair seemed to turn to fire when using your quirk, to the way youâd manipulate the energy around you to fight.
It was even more impressive seeing you fly form your amazing control of telekinesis.
But he couldnât understand you. The more he tried, the more he hurt his brain trying to figure you out. Even Kaminari didnât make his head hurt this much.
You were a book, with thousands of pages if not more. But you were so shut off, closed in. You didnât even talk to Midoriya which Bakugou thought everyone did.
The only time you ever talked to anyone was when you were spoken too. You opted to stay to yourself, but Bakugou was tired of seeing you this way. Why didnât you have friends? Or maybe you did and they just didnât go here.
Whatever the case was, Bakugou was going to get you to be his friend, and for the first time, Bakugou was going to put forth the effort in making the friendship.
âOh hey bro!â Kaminari slung his arm around Bakugou as he sat down on the couch.
âShut it Dunceface.â Bakugou waited for the rest of his quote on quote âsquadâ to show up. And when they had, he began to speak.
âWeâre inviting another person to the group.â Bakugou didnât mention them as a group a lot. But he was serious. And he didnât care about his pride for two seconds, those tow seconds being right now.
âOh, Bakugou went and got a heart!â Sero joked.Â
â(Y/n).â Bakugou spoke, turning around to look at you sitting at a table reading a book.
You lifted your head and looked at him, confusion written on your features.
âHe wants you to join our group! Come on!â Kirishima says with a smile. You can feel heat rise to your face, itâs not an intense blush but itâs happening.
Cautiously you stand and walk over to the group, your closed book in your hand.
âUhm thanks.â You thank them for inviting them over to their group.
âWeâve never really talked, tell us about yourself!â Mina is excited to actually hear you talk.
âWell uh my name is (F/n) (L/n) and I like to read sometimes.â You sit down beside Bakugou, who had taken a seat when you walked over.
Bakugouâs head was swarming with all sorts of feelings. You were warm, you radiated energy and heat. He could feel how powerful you were just by sitting beside you.
- - -
Shortly after talking with the group, youâd opened up a bit and you were, for the first time in a while, comfortable with a group of people that you could call friends.
It wasnât like you isolated yourself on purpose, you just never made the executive decision to make friends. You were here to learn, you didnât really see a point in it, at the time, but now, having talked with the Bakusquad, youâd clearly missed out. Life was so much better when you weren't spending it alone moping in your room wishing you could make friends super easily.
Over the course of a week or two, youâd began to eat lunch with them, opting to hang out after training and class, and even spending time with Mina to do some girl stuff and sleepover things.
But it was Bakugou who youâd grown somewhat closer too. He would train with you, one on one. Youâd spar and often ask to be partnered up in class activities.
Youâd gone out on a walk with Bakugou, heading off campus before curfew.
âItâs weird being off campus.â You sat on a swing, youâd come to a park that was nearby, while Bakugou approached the one beside you.
âWe do everything on campus, but I guess it is called school for a reason.â You joke, pushing back off the ground so you could swing forward a bit.
âWhyâd you invite me to your group?â You questioned, curious about why it was Bakugou who made the big decision on recruiting you.
âI was tired of seeing you all alone. You clearly have skill so you should be making friends and shit.â Bakugou pouted, he hated being open, or merely he hated expressing feelings that made others think he was all soft and shit.
He was, to an extent that heâd only let people, the people who were really close to him, see those feelings and that side of him.
âI always struggled to make friends.â You began, deciding to open up to Bakugou. It seemed fair since this was clearly not the norm for him.
Bakugouâs head turned to look at you, he could read you like a book now, youâd pulled back the cover and all your pages were showing.
âI was just always focused on training and controlling my quirk. Itâs always been super tough, and when it gets out of control I could really hurt someone. I never wanted to lose control and hurt the people around me, the people that I cared about.â
Bakugou knew what that was like. He had an explosion quirk, danger was always prominent, he could easily hurt someone if he got too angry.
âSo I pushed everyone away, you canât hurt people if you never surround yourself with them, right?â You try to crack a joke at the situation, but your failed attempt just makes you sigh.
âSo when you were willing to invite me to your group, I didnât know what to do, it was hard, but you just opened your arms and accepted me. I guess thatâs why I gravitated to you so much, because you know what itâs like.â
âI do.â Bakugou added, he was inwardly happy to see that youâd caught on to his situation.
âBut I canât wrap my head around you. Youâre so funny to me. You always criticize Midoriya and even Kirishima and Kaminari, but with me, itâs like youâre a whole different kind of Bakugou.â
âI could say the same about you. When I first saw you use your quirk, I was so fucking impressed it was insane. I couldnât understand how someone like you wasnât aiming for the top. You made me so angry seeing you alone.â Bakugou gripped the chains of the swing set.
âIt drove me crazy, seeing you all alone, spending time with yourself like you were too important to make friends. It really pissed me off.â Bakugou looked at the ground.
âBecause that was me.â Bakugou kicked at the red mulch under his feet.
âI hated the idea of making friends but those losers crept up on me, and as much as I still hate them, theyâve been there for me through all of this shit.â
âIt was Kirishima who grabbed your hand when the league caught you, right?â
âYeah.â
âIâve always admired your duality.â
âWhat is that supposed to mean?â Bakugou looked back up at you, the sun was beginning to set and youâd have to head back to U.A. soon. God he wanted to kiss you right now.
You looked so beautiful, the way the orange and purple sky mixed with the sparkling of stars beginning to light up like a city in the sky, the glow of the sun dripping below the horizon made your skin look radiant, like it was covered in thousands of tiny stars itself.
You were beautiful, everything about you was beautiful, he couldnât fathom it.
âYouâre strong when you need to be, but youâre able to open up and acknowledge your weaknesses.âÂ
Bakugou couldnât resist any longer. The rustling of chains startled you as he darted up and took a few steps closer to you.
âShut up.â He murmured before pressing his lips to yours. The swing was pushed back as you rose to your feet, your lips connecting to his like they were magnets.
His kiss was enough to make you realize one thing. Katsuki Bakugou was in love with you.
You kissed back but pulled away shortly after.
âWhyâd you do that?â You questioned.Â
âI needed to. Was it bad or something?â
âNo! No! It was nice, I liked it.â You admitted, flustered.
âCan you stop making excuses and just realize that youâre still learning.â Bakugou intertwined his fingers with yours, securing your hand in his as you began to walk back toward the campus.
âYeah.â You whispered.
When you arrived back at the dorms, Mina was surprised to see your hand in Bakugouâs.
âSomeoneâs in love!â She cooed, excited for the two of you. You looked away and let out a small giggle while Bakugouâs cheeks burned red.
"Shut up!â He yelled, rushing up the stairs with you to his dorm.
You and Bakugou hung out for a little while but it was safe to say that not only had you made some new friends, youâd discovered love for the first time.

Pairings: dark!biker!bucky x reader
Summary:Â Bucky Barnes has the town in his hands and a lot Blood. All you have is a cafe your mother left you after her passing. But as Buckyâs attention moves to you, do you have the strength to pay revenge for his wrongdoings? Does your push into the dark paradise end in love or blood?

A/n: I am so sorry. oof. please donât read if you are under 18!
Dividers by @whimsicalrogersâ
The days dragged on, leaving you breathless. Days spend in the bed, not even crying. You knew that not going to work was possibly the worst thing you could do, but not a bone in your body was able to move, all muscles numb, your head screaming at you to stay in bed. There seemed to be nothing left for you. The thing Bucky did to you left you scared. If thatâs what he was going to do to you for not believing you, then what other things was he capable of doing?
The bed started to smell like sweat, grime and dirt. You were disgusted with yourself, the way you could let go of yourself. Over the last few days you had let yourself go like youâve never done before.Â
One of the girls, Natasha, brought you food every morning and evening. She told you that Bucky wanted to make sure you were well fed and taken care of, but the gesture that would appear sweet and caring, made you want to puke violently. After violating you, shaming you in public for anyone to see he wanted to take care of you?Â
But you ate. You pushed down the bites with difficulty, because the thought of what he would do if you didnât frightened you and you hated yourself for it. That you bend so easily at his wish.
After days of laying in the murky bed, you decided to take a shower, washing away the dirt piling on top of your skin. Your hand traced your skin, the disassociation of your own body frightened you. The soft flesh felt like someone elseâs. Your hand lowered following the waterâs stream, down to your pelvis, down to your core.Â
You hissed as you touched your sensitive skin. A shiver running up your body from the pain. Even after days and days of laying in bed, the pain never subsided and Buckyâs fingers left their mark, ghosting on top of your body like foul mold. A soff sob left your lips as you gently washed yourself, a hand steadying yourself on the wall opposite you, closing your eyes as your tears mixed with the water.Â
Stepping out of the shower you looked at yourself in the mirror. You traced the contours of your face with your eyes, but the woman in the mirror was someone you couldnât recognize. A woman whoâs skin started to crack, the pain creeping out from the cracks beneath. A pile of pain growing like weeds.
As you sat at the table, eating the breakfast Natasha brought you, you knew you needed to go. Staring outside the sun peaked through the clouds. A glimmer of hope. Far away in the big city someone should be able to help you.Â
After you got ready, you remembered Buckyâs demeanour when you went out for breakfast with Lana, the way he made you ask for permission. The memory send shivers running across your body like a million cockroaches slithering on your skin.Â
Your feet carried you to his office, like walking on thorns. The door becoming bigger with every step you took towards it. A man stood in front of it and if you werenât so distracted by the killing machine resting in his hands, you would recognize him as Clint, the father of the girl who tragically died a few years ago.Â
A big topic for gossip, no respect for the young girl that lost her life too soon, but the people like to talk in Dawn. Some say her father killed her himself, but other believe that she was already dead once her father joined the Howling Commandos and that her death was just an accessory to the name. The girl was discovered by her own mother, laying face down by the church. Her eyes had been carved out and her mouth was sewed shut.Â
Just looking at him send puke squeezing up your throat.
âWhat do you want?â Clint barked, death stare on your body.Â
âIâm here to see Bucky.â You croaked out.Â
Clint hesitated for a second, but knocked on the door regardless. Bucky granted permission and Clint opened the door for you, revealing the room behind it. You stepped in carefully examining the room. The walls painted red, a deep, morbid red. The pain staining everything it touched with beams of red.Â
Bucky sat behind the desk, leaning back on his chair, a sinister smile painting his lips. The door behind you shut close and the prospect of being in a room alone with him frightened you.Â
âTo what do I owe the pleasure?â Bucky said, tilting his head.
It took you a little to form the words carefully in your head. âI wanted to ask if I could go visit Lana.â As soon as the words left you, your cheeks heated up with embarrassment. Â
âThatâs cute, but I need more than that.â Buckyâs smile formed to a smirk as he rolled his chair back. âCome here.â He ordered with a whisper.Â
You couldnât tell if he was being serious or not, but your hart started to race. A slow step forward and determination took over. Just this and you could go forward with your plan. Another step and another. You now stood in front of Bucky, waiting.
Bucky looked up to you. âGet on your knees.âÂ
You swallowed thickly, lowering yourself on your knees like he ordered. It didnât take a genius to guess what he wanted. You were prepared for the worst, to taste him in your mouth. Your head between the legs of devilsâs creation, but even the smartest people can be wrong.
âBeg.âÂ
You looked up to him, confused. The stern look on his face told you he meant it, Bucky wanted you to beg for it. âCan I please go -go to Lanaâs house?â The heat in your face travelled down to your neck. âPlease, B-bucky?â Your voice almost failed you, but as his smirk widened to a smile you let out a breath of relieve.
âSure, sugar. But only because you asked so nicely.â Bucky reached his hand out, caressing your cheek with the back of his hand. He traced from your forehead, down to your temple, to your jaw with the tips of his fingers. His hand travelled down to your throat and with a swift move he enclosed his hand around it, encouraging you to stand with him.Â
He towered over you with his hand on your neck. âHave fun.â Bucky breathed, his hot breath on your face and you just wanted to cry.Â
As soon as he released you, you stumbled away from him, backing out of the room while you almost tripped over you feet. The moment you were out of the house, running down the street you were crying. Turning corners, passing people and you knew they would be looking after you, how couldnât they?Â
Lanaâs house came into view and you slowed down, walking up the steps to her door. You ringed the doorbell and the door swung open. Lana let you in without words.Â
Once in her room you sat at her desk, opening her laptop. Lana sat on the edge of her bed next to you with questions all over her face. After a while of searching you fund what you were looking for and it was a woman named Maria Hill. a private investigator.Â
âIâm going to take them down from the inside. Since the police here in Dawn canât help me, someone in the city surely will.â You spoke without taking your eyes off the screen.Â
âY/n, are you sure about this?â You turned to your friend. âSomeone saw what Bucky did to you.â Her voice got quiet, a whisper almost.Â
You lowered your head, the thought of people talking about you, standing in the phone booth. âThatâs why I need to do this.â
Lana left the room making tea while you called Maria, explaining the situation you were in. She asked questions you were reluctant to answer, but you did either way. Buckyâs eyes haunted you brain, his voice ringing in your ear making it difficult to focus on the womanâs voice. so much so that she had to pull you back from your thoughts from time to time.Â
Once you arrived back at the house you avoided everyone like you always did, resorting to your room at every hour. You were supplied with groceries, but that was the only human interaction you got. Your days were filled with sitting by the window, watching everyone live their life free from the invisible handcuffs.Â
After contacting the private investigator, Lana promised to help you despite her life being on the line as well and you thanked the gods for her. She was to inform you on any details that arise. You were nervous, chewing on your nails down to the nub of your fingertips.Â
Your nervousness didnât falter as the day went on.
A knock on the door shook you out of your dream. The opening of your door made you sit up. Two men stood across from the bed, ushering for you to get up. They led you down the stairs to Buckyâs office. The pit in your stomach told you vile things, warnings.Â
They opened the door, but the scene in front of you made no sense to you. You walked in further, at least four men stood around the room. Bucky stood behind his desk, his hands wrapped around the back of the throat of Lana.Â
Your breaths became shallow, too fast to catch up.Â
Lanaâs eyes stared into yours, red rimmed and glossy. The two men grabbed your upper arms on either side, but you were too focused on your best friend, standing with him, shaking. The air around so thick it was chocking you.Â
âPeter over here told me some interesting things, dollface.â Buckyâs anger was visible in his face by the creases on his forehead, fire burning behind the blue of his eyes and youâve never seen anything like it. âHe said that you told Lana about the police and then, oh remember, you tried to call her?â
His words set in and you glanced to Peter standing at the wall, his head down in shame. Your lips parted but nothing came out.Â
âYou know what we do to traitors? We punish them.âÂ
âStop, she had nothing to do with the police, Bucky.âÂ
âWell, dalinâ, how would I know? And since I donât want to mess up your pretty face, she has to deal with your punishment.â His grip on her throat tightened, his fingertips digging into her soft flesh and he slammed her pelvin into the edge of the desk making Lana yelp in pain.Â
âYou know I fucked her, right? I took her innocence right here.â With a thump Lanaâs chest hit the desk and Bucky bend her over. âJust like this.â
âNo, no, no, stop.â Your voice barely audible and you wanted to cover your mouth but the men held your arms to the sides of your body tightly. Your heart pounded against your chest so vigorously you thought that it would bruise your ribs.
Bucky lifted Lanaâs skirt and her sobs filled the room, but none of the men standing payed her pain any mind, watching the scene unfold before them, not even flinching, batting an eye.Â
âStop, please.â You pleaded and you were ready to go down to your knees, beg for forgiveness.Â
Buckyâs face lit up at your words, looking directly into your eyes. âSay that again.â He closed his eyes, groaning over Lanaâs cries. He exposed Lana even further, lifting the skirt over her back, showing her cotton panties underneath. From the corner of your eye you saw one of the men, blond hair and blue eyes, lick his lips.Â
Buckyâs eyes opened and you sunk down until your knees hit the wooden floor, but underneath your skin the wood felt as if you were kneeling on glass for him. âPlease.â You begged.
âAlright, no problem. But I wouldâve liked to fuck her one last time, she cried so pretty with my dick in her cunt.â His low, morbid chuckle filled your ears. âI have something better in mind.â
There wasnât time. No time couldâve prepared you to register what you witnessed. With a quick snap and a loud crack, Lanaâs legs softened, her body relaxed against the table. The life she had left her eyes, her body numb.Â
Your jaw slacked, but realization didnât hit. It couldnât be true. A sinister silence fell and Lanaâs body with it, sliding off the desk, but you couldnât hear the impact of her hitting the floor.Â
You were frozen in place, kneeling on the floor and something within you told you the truth, he had snapped her neck right in front of you, without remorse, without hesitation.
And it hit you once again.Â
Youâll never make it out alive.

Secrets I have held in my heart (Ashton Irwin Smut)
Summary: (Y/N) starts dating someone who is not Ashton. And Ashton seems to have an issue with that. (Smut / Unprotected Sex)
(Request) (Words: 3.8k)
"Your phone has been buzzing lots tonight..." Ashton comments as he passes me the takeout Chinese box. I chuckle and lock my phone, shrugging my shoulders.
"Uh, Crystal gave my phone to a friend of hers... He saw me at a party and asked her about me. We've been talking a bit this week." I state, grabbing my chopsticks.
"Oh, really?" He asks as he sits down next to me.
"Yeah, he seems like a nice guy and Crystal has been eating my ears off to hook me up with someone." I reply, making Ashton hum.
"Why though? You are perfectly capable of finding someone yourself. Plus, you are an independent woman and you don't need no man." He jokes, making me giggle as I take a bite from my food.
"I am a boss bitch, I need no one. But... My bed is always empty and loneliness is hard. You know that better than anyone." I reply, leaning my head against his shoulder.
"Yeah... Well, he better be nice to you." He mumbles, starting the movie.
"Let's not talk about him now. It's our slumber party..." I state and he hums in agreement.
I rush to my door, trying not to trip off on my high heels on my way there.
I open it, finding Ashton behind it holding a box of pizza.
"Oh, shit." I breathe out, mentally slapping my face.
"I am glad to see you too, Geez..." He rolls his eyes, walking in.
"I totally forgot about you..." I sigh and he furrows his eyebrows, looking at me in confusion.
"Am I easy to forget, (Y/N)?" He asks, leaving the pizza box on the island.
"Not at all, Ash. Ryan, the guy I have been talking with... Well, he asked me out and... We are going out tonight." I explain and he gasps softly, with his face dropping.
"But tonight is Saturday... And Saturday is our day. We are hanging out on Saturdays..." He says, making my stomach hurt as I realize I have let him down.
"I am sorry, love. We can hang out tomorrow, same time. I'll buy pizza and ice cream. We can meet early in the morning, spend the day together, binge-watch that series you have been talking about all the time." I nearly plead for him to accept it.
"I am spending the day with Calum tomorrow... Well, next week then... You have fun at your date, tell me how it went..." He says, leaning down to press a kiss on my forehead.
"The pizza..." I reach for the box to hand it back to him.
"Keep it as a treat. In case you get hungry after your date." He smiles, bringing a smile on my face as well; he always had the most contagious smile ever.
"Be safe. If you need anything, call me." He offers, making me nod.
"So, how is it going with Ryan?" Crystal asks before taking a sip of her wine. I clear my throat and bite the inside of my cheek.
"We've gone out a couple of times. He is nice and charming, and he treats me right. But we are not official, I guess... We haven't put a label on, yet." I reply; unconsciously, my eyes travel to Ashton, watching for his reaction. He cuts a piece of his lasagna and eats it, paying zero attention to me.
"Did he screw you yet?" He asks bluntly, still not looking at me. The table gasps and Calum punches Ashton's shoulder, while I fidget with my fingers.
"That's really not your business." I mumble, feeling my cheeks heat up. He knows sex-talk makes me really uncomfortable, so he is the last person I expected to ask this question.
"Oh, come on. We always talk about our sex lives... It's not a big deal." He looks at me straight in the eye, coldly almost. I detect no regret or hesitation in his eyes, which makes me hum.
"You don't have to answer that, love." Crystal assures me, but I shake my head.
"No, he is right. It is not a big deal." I state, shrugging my shoulders.
"So, go ahead and tell us. Did he screw you yet? Did you fuck?" He asks, pressing on the matter.
"Ashton, stop." Calum hisses, but he brushes him off.
"We haven't yet. I mean, we almost did. We made out, I was sitting on his lap, his dick got hard. He almost got me naked, he touched me softly. I had never been so wet in my whole entire life. But we stopped. He wanted it to be a little more... Special, I guess. So, we stopped... And I have to say, it was so hard to stop... I still think about it when I touch myself... Oof, I can't even get my head straight at the thought of him fucking me." I reply, not taking my eyes off of him, searching for his reaction. He looks at me intensely, jaw twitching a little.
There is deep silence on the table, everyone looking between me and Ashton.
"Ok, thank you for the update..." Luke breaks the tension, but Ashton and I still look at each other.
"Does anyone wanna try my veggie lasagna?" Calum clears his throat, trying to find a way to get everyone to tense down.
"I've actually had enough for today." He states, pushing his chair back before he stands up. I take a sip from my drink, looking at him as he marches away.
"What the fuck was that?" Michael mumbles, looking at me.
"He asked, I answered." I shrug my shoulders.
My foot moves nervously as Ryan hands me my drink, making me smile tightly at him.
"Are you alright?" He asks, taking a seat by me and putting his arm on the back of the couch.
"Yeah, yeah... I had a stressful couple of days, and my mind keeps going back to them." I reply, bringing my glass to my lips.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks, placing his hand on top of mine.
"It has to do with my best friend. He has been acting very weird lately and I am really worried, to be honest. But I really don't want to talk more about it." I gulp and he nods.
"You are so thoughtful of everyone. It makes you really adorable." He whispers and I smile, pressing my lips together.
"I don't want to be adorable tonight... Adorable doesn't make men hard..." I whisper, moving to straddle him.
"It makes me hard..." He moans as I lower my lips to his neck.
"Oh yeah?" I ask, running my tongue across the hickey I was sucking on.
"Yeah... I've been thinking about you since the last time..." He places his hands on my hips before slipping one of them under my t-shirt and up my back.
"Have you, now?" I ask cockily, tilting my head back as he nudges it with his own. He kisses on my collarbones, trailing up to my lips.
"Oh, fuck, Ashton..." I moan, closing my eyes.
Ryan stops instantly and I gasp as I realize what just happened. I move from his lap, bringing my hands to cover my mouth and looking at him in shock.
"Who's Ashton?" He asks me calmly but shocked.
"I am so sorry..." I mumble, feeling horrible about what happened.
"Who's Ashton?" He insists, standing up. I close my eyes, running my hand down my face. I contemplate on what to tell him, surely not knowing what Ashton is to me anymore.
"He is the only person I want to be with..." I say softly, tilting my head to the side.
He just looks at me while I wish for the earth beneath me to swallow me whole.
"You should really get out of here." He points out, handing me my purse and phone.
"Ryan, I am really sorry." I state, making him chuckle sarcastically.
"Yeah, me too." He replies, opening the door for me.
The drive back home was full of me asking myself what the fuck I should do.
I have been in love with Ashton ever since I met him, I had to sit and watch him move from relationship to relationship, each time getting more and more hurt.
I have had enough of him treating me as nothing more than a friend and as much as I hated it, I settled for just that.
But he has been in my head, every day since we met, everything I have been feeling for him only growing stronger.
I park my car and get out of it, trying to get some structure into my thoughts.
Reaching for the entrance of my apartment building, I find Ashton sitting on the floor, with his back against the door of it.
"Ash... What are you doing here?" I ask, getting his attention on me. His face is puffy and his eyes are red, making me kneel and cup his face in my hands.
"Have you been drinking?" I ask, worrying about him relapsing.
"I am sober." He utters, placing his hands on mine. My heart goes back to its place and I finally take a breath, standing up and helping him get off the ground.
"Come on, let's get in." I sigh, unlocking the front door.
He follows suit behind me, both of us staying silent until I unlock the door and let us in. I turn up the lights, leaving my purse down before I turn to look at Ashton, who scratches the back of his neck nervously.
"You were with Ryan?" He asks, barely over a whisper.
"Are you here for the second round of that shit you pulled everyone through last week?" I ask and he shakes his head, looking at his feet.
"I was at his house." I admit, sitting on the arm of the couch.
"Uh... Did you have sex with him?" He asks, making me sigh.
"Ash, if you are here to..." I begin but he stops me.
"I am not... It doesn't matter anyway..." He says.
"Why are you here then? What do you want?" I ask him, crossing my arms in front of my chest.
"I... Fuck... I had this whole speech in my head on the drive here, I had so many things I wanted to say, and now I am blank... I don't know from where to start and I am a fucking mess right now." He mumbles and I stare at him, trying to figure out where all of this is going.
"You can start by telling me why you were outside my door looking like you've been hit by a truck." I suggest and he hums.
"I have been in love with you since the day I met you. Calum and Michael convinced me that I would screw everything up if I tried to be with you... So I repressed everything and decided that if I couldn't be with you, at least I should settle for being your friend. And in the beginning, it worked, because you hadn't been going out with anyone, you hadn't been with anyone really, so it was fine, I wasn't jealous... And then Crystal set you up with Ryan and I felt like I was running out of time. I pictured him touching you, kissing you, making you happy and it drove me insane... I didn't want anyone being with you but me... I wanted to distance myself, especially after the time you canceled on me to go out with him, but it made me look like a douchebag, particularly after the dinner incident. I drove home that day, repeating in my head what you told me and I felt like I couldn't breathe. It took me a lot to come to terms with the fact I was losing you, and even more to build the courage to stand before you and admit that I am in love with you. It might fuck everything up as Calum said, but I can't go on thinking I wasted away even the slight possibility of ending up with you." He admits, causing me to sigh in relief. I stand up, shaking my head at him.
"I moaned your name." I whisper, looking at him as he furrows his eyebrows at me.
"What? When?" He asks me, placing his hands on my shoulders.
"Tonight. We were kissing, Ryan and I... I had decided I wanted to have sex with him, and we were making out. I was on his lap and he was kissing my neck, and it felt nice, it really did. So I closed my eyes and I pictured you, kissing my neck, touching me, making me feel good. And I moaned your name. It rolled off my tongue so naturally. And he asked me who Ashton is and I lost it... I didn't know what to tell him and I couldn't tell him you are just a friend, because, well, you really can't moan your friend's name the way I did... So I told him you are the only person I want to be with and he told me to leave. And I drove here, hoping I could get my mind right and tell you how much I love you, how much I wish I can be with you. So, fuck Calum's opinion, you should have told me ages before." I comment, making him hum.
"Yeah, Calum really had the dumbest idea..." He whispers, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear.
"You really shouldn't have listened to him..." I mumble as he pulls me closer.
"I really shouldn't have..." He utters, leaning down to kiss me.
My eyes flicker at the sensation of his lips against mine, my foot popping up just as it happens in those movies I always make fun of. My stomach tightens before it flutters; it feels like I am a teen again.
His hands travel to my waist, wrapping tightly around it as I deepen the kiss.
"Fuck me, you feel so good against me..." He moans, parting away from me for a second to catch his breath.
"With pleasure..." I smirk, making him lick his lips.
"We don't have to do anything just yet." He leans down to whisper in my ear, pecking on my temple at the end of the sentence. I whimper, pulsing around nothing as I look at him with my eyes wide and my lips parted.
"Well, now we do." I reply mesmerized, feeling my cheeks heating up.
He bites the inside of his cheek, moving to pick me up.
My skirt hitches up my thighs as he carries me to my bedroom. I feel anxious about what is to come, yet at ease as if all of this has happened before.
"Do you have condoms?" He asks me as he lets me on the bed.
"I am on birth control." I mumble and he nods. For a second I feel awkwardness sinking in the room, none of us making a single move.
I stand up from the bed, moving before him before I take my t-shirt off, staring at him.
"Fuck..." He moans under his breath, scanning me up and down.
"You've seen me scantily clad before... One too many times."
"You think I wasn't having these thoughts every time I watched you in a bikini?" He asks as my hands move to unzip my skirt.
"Are you going to take anything off, or are you going to keep burning holes on my skin with your eyes?" I ask him, making him cock an eyebrow at me.
"Watching you strip doesn't sound that bad." He replies without taking his eyes off me.
"Take a picture, it will last longer." I joke and his eyes go a little darker.
"Can I?" He asks, licking his lips.
"If you play your cards right, I might let you next time." I tease, unhooking my bra and letting it slide down my arms.
He gulps thickly, undoing his belt as he watches me like a hawk.
"Shall I start solo?" I ask, crawling onto my bed.
"You feel like putting on a show for me?" He asks, bringing a smirk to my face.
I slip off my underwear and spread my legs as I lay on my back, getting comfortable before my hand slips between my thighs.
I run my fingers down my core, feeling my wetness before pressing them against my clit, circling it slowly.
"Oh, Ash... I am so wet..." I moan, feeling goosebumps rise on my skin as I feel him observe me.
"Fuck..." He mumbles, nearly jumping towards me and removing my hand.
He looks at me with dark eyes, pupils dilated, and face tensed.
"Are you going to fuck me or what?" I ask, chest rising and falling.
"For such a sweet face, you would think you are a sweetheart... But look at that foul mouth..." He comments, spreading my legs more.
"Pretend you don't like it, daddy..." I smirk, making him blink a couple of times before he thrusts in me. I whimper at the sensation, arching a bit off the mattress.
"How did you just call me?" He asks, gripping onto my thighs harshly. The pads of his fingers sink onto my skin, surely leaving prints that prove he has been there.
"You need to stop oversharing details about your sex life... Well, at least now that we are going to be fucking." I reply, raising my bum in the air to bring my hips closer to him. He is going slow, agonizingly slow for my liking, and I really want him faster, deeper, harder. I have been dreaming about this moment for years, and I always picture him going animalistic at it.
"More." I beg, wiggling my hips as he thrusts in and out.
"More? Already? Look at that... Taking my cock so well and begging for more..." He praises, pounding in me with force. My ass lands back on the mattress and my thighs almost reach my chest.
"I have been thinking about this moment ever since I can remember myself. I want everything I can get." I reach for my breasts, cupping one in my palm before I fondle with it.
"Have you been dreaming about it every time you touched yourself? Have you been thinking about my cock stretching your perfect little pussy, pressing against your cervix? Have you been dreaming about me touching you in places a friend shouldn't?" He taunts, making the bed rattle as he fucks me harder.
"Oh, you have no idea." I moan, throwing my head back in pleasure.
"I think I do, princess. I can't even watch porn anymore, because thinking of you is the only thing that sets me off. I stroke my cock and moan your fucking name. I have been craving you for years. And you are all mine now." The last part comes out of him as a growl from deep in his chest, the primitiveness of it making me gasp for air.
"Oh, God..." I moan, feeling him hit my spot perfectly.
"There... There... Do it again... Fuck." I hiss, biting my lips and closing my eyes shut.
"Oh, you like it there? Your little pussy is spasming around my cock... You like my cock hitting there?" He asks me, the smirk in his face evident in his voice.
"Kiss me..." I demand, craving him more than anything I have ever craved.
He leans down, planting his lips on mine sloppily, running his tongue across my teeth.
He continues fucking me, his hips slamming on mine as he keeps thrusting on the same spot as I tighten around him.
My body tingles, toes curling and nails digging in his skin as I cum, biting his bottom lip.
"Fuck... Oh God, oh fuck..." I mumble, my voice breaking at the end.
"I am going to cum... I am going to fucking cum... You are squeezing so fucking tight around me..." He chants, pounding on me with force and vigor. He feels rock hard inside me, sending more pleasure through my body.
"Cum... Please cum, daddy." I nearly scream the plea, feeling my eyes brim with tears.
"I... I wanna... I... Fucking hell..." He utters, spilling inside me and throwing his head back, grounding his hips onto mine.
I walk back into my bedroom after cleaning up, finding Ashton with the biggest smile on his face.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask, wrapping myself in a romp.
"Ever had sex so good you want to start screaming shit like God is real during an orgasm?" He asks me as I crawl onto my bed and head to curl up on him.
"Is that philosophical? Or maybe rhetoric?" I ask and he hums for a second.
"No, it is actually what was going on in my brain while I was inside you. I kept going like "God is real, so freaking real". I dreamt about it for so long and it finally happened." He explains, running his fingers down my arm.
"I was actually thinking when it would be over... So I could have you again, and again, and again." I reply, pressing a kiss on his chest, chest below the part his necklace ends.
"Give me half an hour, and I can go at it again." He states and I giggle.
"No, I am sore... I didn't think something so good would make me feel sore after..." I groan.
"I love you." He mumbles, sighing. His chest rises and falls calmly, and his lips curl into a smile.
"Ooh, take me out on a date first, dude." I decide to tease him, sitting up a little to be on eye level with him. He looks at me totally petrified, which makes me burst into laughter.
"I love you... Perks of dating your best friend... No need to do the whole awkward dating thing before you actually realize you love or hate that person. And I love you, even though you are kind of a broody, pain in my fucking ass. Screw that, I love you because you are a kind of a broody pain in my fucking ass. Among other things." I reply, leaning down to peck on his lips.
"I can't wait to tell Calum how wrong he was." He sighs, stroking my cheek.
"I can't wait to punch Calum in the face for keeping you away from me." I take his hand in mine, lacing our fingers together.
"Cute little bumblebee turns violent." He chuckles, making me look at him in confusion.
"Bumblebee?" I ask and he hums.
"Yeah, cause you are cute and buzzing and you go insane over flowers. Bumblebee..." He points out, making me smile.
"I can get used to that..." I relax back on his chest, pressing my ear right over his heart.

Working My Way Back To You 9/11
Killian gets captured. When Emma finally rescues him, heâs traumatized and nearly broken from the torture he endured. Angst and h/c galore as Emma helps him through it.
I tried to go easy on the whumpy side of it since itâs supposed to be for Comfortember, but itâs me so I probably failed lol
A/N: Oof this chapter got away from me a bit lol I strayed back into whumpy territory a little in this one, as Killian talks about some of his trauma, but he does get comfort in the present time.
Warnings for this chapter: a bit of smut (I probably donât have to warn for that since this story is already M rated but itâs there, so) (also itâs my very first attempt at smut and Iâve rewritten that scene only like a bazillion times haha but Iâm still so nervous to post it, I just hope you guys donât hate it)
Unbetad as always so mistakes are all mine.
Tagging @cocohook38 as requested.
Read this chapter on AO3
Working My Way Back To You
Road Trip + Campfire
It had been Archieâs idea for Emma and Killian to get away for a while. Go down the coast, heâd said, find yourself. Reconnect with each other. Killian didnât know how camping was supposed to help with any of that. But Emma had seemed excited about the prospect when heâd mentioned it to her, and he never could deny her wishes so here they were, sitting on a log in a forest in the middle of nowhere, where Killian could hear the ocean but not see it through the trees. The campfire crackles and pops and the heat against his front is a sharp contrast to the chill at his back, and perhaps they hadnât thought this through very well because even through his layers Killian can still feel the cold now that the sun has gone down. Although it has been unseasonably warm lately, the night air still carries quite a bite. Emmaâs tucked into his right side, a blanket around her shoulders. She seems happy despite the cold, her stomach full of the fish theyâd caught from the sea earlier that day, and the âmarshmallowsâ sheâd insisted on bringing along â yet another sticky, sugary treat Killian couldnât quite stomach. Heâd tried two, toasted over the fire until they were gooey on the inside, but they sat uncomfortably in his gut and he left the rest for Emma. Heâs not sure if it was the problem was the marshmallows, or the fact that his anxiety is rising again just from being in a forest. Spending centuries on a jungle island, at the whim of a malicious demon, had ruined it for him. On a good day, he could shove it down, bury it deep where all his other vulnerabilities lived. But today is not a good day.
âWhat are you thinking about, Killian?â Emma asks, and he supposes he has been quiet for too long.
âJust⊠things.â
âGood things?â
He wishes.
âNo.â
âOh.â
Sheâs got her fingers on his chest, toying absently with the hairs at the unbuttoned top of his shirt. He wonders if sheâll ask for more of him. He wonders if he can give it this time. He thinks about her body pressed against his and her gentle hands removing his clothes, and maybe he wants to try it again.
âDo you want to talk about it?â Emma asks.
Her unexpected question forces an alteration of Killianâs thoughts that is abrupt and unpleasant. Because thatâs why theyâre really out here, isnât it? To talk about things. Reconnect, whatever the hell that meant. He doesnât want to do this. He really, really doesnât want to dip his toes back into those memories. Itâs bad enough he has to bare his soul for the cricket on a regular basis.
âIâŠâ
Where does he start? How can he tell her the true horrors he endured in the cellar? And does she even want to hear it â how theyâd seemingly delighted in every strangled groan and grunt he couldnât hold back under the torture, and how theyâd laughed when they finally forced a scream from him? That his only comfort was the hallucination of her, kneeling at his side in the cell telling him everything would be okay as he struggled to breathe around the pain consuming his body? Bloody hell, heâs shaking again at the thought of saying any of that to her.
âWe donât have to do this,â Emma says, giving him a way out that he desperately wants to use.
But Killian Jones is not a coward.
âNo, itâs⊠I canâŠâ
âBreathe, Killian,â she coaches, sitting up straighter and her hand moves up to cradle his face, âBreathe. Youâre okay.â
He takes a breath. And another. And slowly the tendrils of panic release him.
âI saw you there,â he blurts out before his mind can talk him out of it again, âIn the cell with me. You brought me comfort amongst the tormentâŠâ
 âKillian, you have to be still. Just be still. Itâll only hurt more if you move.â
He blinks drowsily at her standing beside him, her hands gentle on his battered body as he hangs from the shackle. Perhaps he should listen to her advice. The pain of fighting to keep his feet under him is making it harder to breathe. Harder to think. And he needs to think. ButâŠ
âEmma, how are you here?â he gasps, and his eyes fill with tears of relief.
Her hand caresses his face as she smiles, and he wants to weep from how good it feels. Her love. Her kindness. How long has it been since anyone has touched him in such a way? How long has he been shackled in this cold cell?
âItâs okay,â she says with so much tenderness, âEverythingâs going to be okay now. Go to sleep, Killian.â
His eyes flutter closed. Heâs so cold. Heâs so tired. Everything hurts but itâs okay because Emmaâs here.
 âThatâs why you didnât know if I was real,â Emma says quietly, âwhen we found you. I thought⊠I thought Iâd lost you. That theyâdâŠ.â
Sheâs pressed tightly against his side again as he hesitantly shares the story with her.
âI was so scared, Killian.â
âAye, love. Me too.â
He hadnât meant to admit that, but he had been terrified. Heâd kept it hidden from his captors as best he could but by the end, he knew he was failing. Thereâs only so much a man can take. And theyâd known that, finding his weaknesses and pushing him past his breaking point. For two weeks, he suffered at their hands.
 âFocus on your breathing, Killian,â Emma says softly.
Heâs shivering, naked against the cold floor, exhausted from the pain yet unable to sleep because of it. His ruined hand feels so unbearably hot that he envisions it may well burst into flames, every involuntary twitch of his broken fingers sending a blazing agony up his arm. And further down his body thereâs still the terrible, terrible burning sensation from his captorâs latest game.
âI d-donât want you to s-see me like this, Emma,â he whispers through chattering teeth, his eyes squeezed shut.
âItâs okay. You know Iâm not really here.â
The reminder that he is alone is too much. Itâs like a wave of emotion cresting, and crashing into him with immense force, making him want to howl his rage and despair until his lungs are empty. But he only allows a whimper. He wonât give them the satisfaction of knowing how utterly broken he is.
âJust breathe,â not-Emma murmurs, her imaginary fingers on his face close enough to the real thing that Killian feels himself melting into her touch, âJust keep breathing, Killian.â
 âIt felt so real. I know it wasnât, but⊠you helped me to stay sane. I would have lost myself if it werenât for the image of you at my side.â
The fire is burning low now and the loss of its heat is making him shiver. Emma moves the blanket so itâs resting over both of them, and her hand settles on his left forearm as she burrows closer into his right side, like she can cuddle the fear right out of him. He appreciates the gesture, struggling with the mental distress of releasing the memories from that box in his mind. Of admitting his fears to Emma. And he has barely touched on what they did to him in that cellar. He doesnât think heâll ever be able to, not to Emma.
âIâm sorry it took us so long to find you,â Emma says.
âItâs alright.â
âNo, itâs not. We were nearly⊠we were nearly too late, Killian, you wereâŠâ
âAlmost gone,â he whispers, staring blankly into the campfire.
 When he swallows, he can taste blood, having bitten either his tongue or his lip â he doesnât know which one â trying to hold back his cries during his last torture session. It hadnât even helped, not for long enough. His strength is entirely depleted. The pain throughout his body has faded to a dull, miserable sort of ache, that heâs grateful for because itâs better than the fire that had consumed him before. And he realizes distantly that this is it, this is the end. Itâs not how he thought heâd go â and heâs thought about it a lot over his too many lifetimes. A quiet, distraught sound escapes his parched throat at the thought that Emma will be too late to save him. Heâs not afraid to die, his heart doesnât ache for himself but for her, how terrible it will be for Emma to find his corpse. How long will it take? But wait, hereâs Emma now, her hand gently rubbing at his curved back as he lies there helpless.
âEmma?â His lips move, but he doesnât think heâs actually spoken aloud.
He doesnât seem to have the strength for that anymore, but that doesnât matter. Emma presses her lips against the back of his bare shoulder. He can feel her hair tickling his skin.
âSsshhh,â she shushes him, âIâm here.â
But sheâs not really, he knows that. Itâs just his mind playing a trick on him again. But he might as well take the comfort it seems willing to provide in his final hours.
âHold me, Emma. Please, I want to feel your embrace as I go.â
Not-Emmaâs arms slip under him, lifting him effortlessly into her embrace. The motion hurts in a way in shouldnât because this isnât real, but he moans weakly anyway.
âItâs okay, Killian. Itâs okay. Iâve got you.â
Itâs hard to breathe, but he knows that wonât matter for much longer. Emmaâs fingers move lightly over his cheek, across his jawline, caressing his face as she holds him steady. He feels like heâs floating now, only her touch keeping him from disappearing into nothing. Killian feels immensely grateful for her comfort. He doesnât bother to open his eyes, content to imagine how she looks, the smile on her face, the kindness in her eyes. The love she has for him is flowing into his body, easing his suffering in his final moments. But his captors come back for him, one more time and he just wants this to be over.
âJust bloody finish it,â he says, and he can tell heâs said it aloud this time by how feeble his voice sounds.
He floats away again and he doesnât want to come down, but they pull him back, holding his right arm too tightly and he canât take any more of this, canât take the pain that he knows is going to overwhelm him in a moment when they aggravate his broken fingers again just for the fun of it. He shakes and writhes and implores for them to stop and he promised himself, he promised Emma they could not break him, but they have. By the gods, they have. But not-Emma is still here somehow, and her touch feels more real than it ever has. Sheâs never been there during his tortures, only afterwards in his cage, and Killian struggles to focus on her. She looks scared this time and Killian doesnât like it. He wants desperately to let go, to escape this torment, but she looks so sad he canât bear to leave her like this. But his body is giving up and he has no choice.
âIâm so sorry, Emma.â
Slowly, the world begins to disappear again. And not-Emma says sheâs real now, and he almost believes it. He wants to believe it, that she has really found him, even if sheâs come too late to save him. She tells him just to rest, her fingers curled tightly around his shoulder, soothing and steadying. Her permission is all he needs. Killian finally submits to the void thatâs been beckoning to him so enticingly, and he doesnât expect to wake up again.
 Emmaâs sniffling jolts Killian out of the morbid tale he was telling, his voice monotonous as he tried to distance himself from the event, and he realizes heâs lost some time by the way the fire is only embers now.
âEmma? Whatâs wrong, love?â he asks with concern, giving his head a quick shake to remove what feels like cobwebs out of his brain.
âS-sorry,â she says weakly, her voice quivering, âI just⊠I didnât know how close it actually was. Another few hours and⊠God, Killian.â
Oh. Oh.
âNo, Iâm sorry, truly. This was a bad idea. I shouldnât have told you all that.â
He tries to twist away slightly so he can see her face, but sheâs holding onto him too tightly. And sheâs weeping freely now, sobbing into his shirt. Curse the cricket for this suggestion, itâs only made things worse. And curse Killian too for going along with it.
âHey, itâs okay, Emma. Iâm with you. Itâs okay.â
He repeats her own words back to her, the words sheâs used for him so frequently of late, when he wakes panicked in the night or finds himself suddenly unable to catch his breath as the memories cloud his mind. His hand rubs at Emmaâs back, trying to soothe her, and he wishes, gods, he wishes he had a second hand with which to wipe her tears away. Though he canât move his left arm at all right now anyway, because sheâs clinging onto it like sheâll float away if she doesnât.
âSshhh, love, be calm,â he continues, slipping in his own phrases now, folding himself around her as much as heâs able, sheltering her as she falls apart, âWeâre okay now. Weâre okay. Just breathe, thereâs a good girl. Shh, itâs going to be alright, Emma.â
Slowly her body begins to relax in his arms, and after a while she takes a shuddering breath and sits up to scrub away her tears, and grabs a handkerchief from her pocket to blow her nose. Killian pulls the flask of rum from his pocket and pushes it gently into her trembling hands when sheâs done.
âDrink up, Swan, and Iâll tend the fire.â
He needs a moment to calm himself as well and placing some more logs on the fire is a perfect excuse to get him the space he needs, and a simple task to ground himself firmly in the present. Emma stares at the flask in her hand with red-rimmed eyes as Killian carefully tends the fire, expertly poking at and blowing on the embers around the new wood heâs placed on it, until it flares back to life, driving away the chill.
âIâm sorry Iâm such a mess,â Emma says with a little, self-deprecating sort of laugh, âIâm supposed to be strong, for you. Because Iâm fine, youâre the one that wasâŠâ
Tortured.
âHey now, none of that,â Killian says firmly, dropping to one knee in front of her so he can lift her chin and look into her eyes, âYou are strong, love, far stronger than I would be in your place. You figured out where I was and you saved me, Emma.â
He takes her hand in his and presses a kiss to the back of it while never breaking eye contact, his lips lingering on her skin as he makes certain she can see in his face how much he means what heâs saying.
âYou saved me,â he repeats softly when he finally lifts his mouth again, âI owe you everything. Youâre not a mess, Emma, youâre a bloody hero.â
She smiles, hesitant at first but growing wider and then she puts the unopened flask aside in favour of leaning forward to kiss him. He meets her halfway, surging upwards with a bit too much force that accidentally sends Emma toppling backwards off the log with a yelp and Killian falling with her, frantically trying to break their fall without hurting her. He must manage it, because when they make eye contact in this compromising position, Emmaâs giggling and Killian canât help the sound bubbling up his throat too because heâs experienced far too many emotions in such a sort time tonight and heâs feeling a little giddy.
âSorry, love,â he says, trying to suppress his undignified giggling, âThat wasâŠâ
But now heâs acutely aware of how close they are, how her hands are clinging to him, and how her thigh is conveniently pressing between his legs. His glee abates as itâs replaced by another feeling â he really, really wants to kiss her again, and deeper this time. And he can barely keep up with all these sensations and he doesnât even care at this point, his head feeling a little dizzy at the intoxicating nearness of Emma, of her scent and her touch. He wonders if â he hopes â that Emma can feel the heat between them too.
âIâm fine, Killian, itâs fine. Are you-â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
He gives in to his bodyâs urges despite his reservations and swallows the rest of her question, his lips capturing hers and his tongue seeking entrance to her mouth, and she immediately responds in kind, almost hungrier for it than he is. Thank the gods, Killian thinks, because if she hadnât been in the mood, he would have felt stupid, though he most likely could get her into the mood without much effort. The passion between them builds even higher and Killian is desperate for more. He presumes his eyes possess the same dazed look that Emmaâs do as they both take a moment to catch their breath.
âEmma, may IâŠâ Emma waits patiently while he finds the words, find the courage to say what he wants, her hand stilling against his chest. âI want to⊠I want to make love to you.â
Emma laughs a little, like she always does when he uses that phrase (nobody calls it that anymore, Killian but heâs not quite comfortable using a more vulgar term, not to Emma, sheâs too perfect and too good and it would be very bad form to say anything like that in her hearing) but she also blushes slightly, and he can see sheâs just as eager for it as he is.
âOkay.â
With a wave of her hand, Emma extinguishes the campfire, and then they can hardly keep their hands off each other as they move to the privacy of their tent. The moment they are inside Killian is overcome with the burning desire to touch more of her skin right now.
âLess clothes,â Killian demands, and Emma grins, pulling her lower lip between her teeth before she starts taking her layers off.
She doesnât ask him to take his own off, sticking to her promise that she wonât push him, but he wants to. He wants this. Heâs tired of being a coward. His fingers hurry to remove his own clothing (and heâs never been more thankful to have the use of those five fingers again than at this precise moment), and in a moment Emma is more or less naked in front of him and heâs in a similar state, at least from the waist up. Now his mouth can explore her newly exposed flesh and he delights in the sounds he can pull from her by doing so. Emmaâs hand rests against the back of his head, the other bracing herself, leaning back as he takes what he wants. Itâs a slow and tender sort of lovemaking; hands drifting slowly across skin, mouths savouring the taste of the other, hushed words of reverent appreciation, and this is exactly what Killian needs. They take their time, neither in a hurry to go further yet, just enjoying getting lost in the sensations.
âEmma.â Killian is the one to break away, feeling the urgency, the need, beginning to override his uncertainties about what he intends to do.
âWhat is it?â
Killianâs looking up at Emmaâs flushed face as he leans back on his elbows on the mattress, her lips slightly swollen from his earlier attentions, her hair a gloriously wild tangle and the colour bright in her cheeks. Heâs taken off the brace and hook because theyâre in such tight quarters right now, thereâs a high chance his hook would rip the side of their shelter when they really get into it, and it would only take a moment of inattention, the briefest impulse to anchor himself to something, and the flimsy material would be rent right open. He doesnât need one more thing to be concerned about tonight. Not with what he is about to do. Killian hesitates for a second before he grabs Emmaâs hand in his and guides it to his belt buckle â his jeans the only thing heâs still wearing besides his socks and his rings and the charms around his neck.
âAre you sure?â Emma asks, her fingers curling into the waistband at the front of his jeans.
âYes,â he murmurs, quickly, before he can lose his nerve again, âjust⊠just go slow.â
Her eyes flick back up to his several times, checking on his wellbeing as she slowly releases him from the confines of his trousers. He can feel the memories clawing at the edge of his mind, but he keeps watching her, focuses on the feel of her soft fingers brushing against his skin as he lifts his hips and allows her to tug his jeans down and off. Then itâs over and now Emmaâs moving back up his body, taking his face in her hands and gazing into his eyes.
âStill with me?â she asks quietly.
Thereâs no denying that his body is responding to their activities, but Emma just wants to be certain his mind is on board with it as well, after how badly he reacted last time. Sheâs good like that.
âAye, keep going, love.â
And then her hand slips down and there, bloody finally. Killian allows himself to get lost in the sensations for a glorious interval. Emma could easily get him off just like this, sheâs done it before, her talented hands and her mouth â oh gods, her mouth, a shudder runs through him at the thought â and heâs strongly tempted to allow her to continue, if he didnât have another plan for tonight. He needs⊠He needs.
âWait,â Killian chokes out, and she stops immediately, looking at him with concern.
âWhatâs wrong? Is this too much?â
âNo. I mean, yes, but⊠Not for the reasons you think.â He breathes deeply, gathers his wits, and his fortitude. âI donât want to finish like this, Emma, I want⊠I want you. I want to be⊠inside you.â
Heâs seconds away from adding a pathetic please because sheâs so close to him, but not close enough and his skin is tingling with desire. But before he has to, Emma leans forward and her mouth claims his again, scorching and demanding and keeping him firmly rooted in the present time. When she pulls back, his head spinning a little from how hard sheâs kissed him, she slips her arm behind him â sit up, Killian, I want to hold you âand he follows her guidance willingly until heâs sitting on the edge of their camping bed, his heart pounding against his ribs because he knows, he knows how good she will make him feel. Then sheâs on him and around him, astride his thighs as she settles onto him. His hand finds its way to the swell of her bare arse, drawing her down, coaxing her to take him in further.
âThatâs it, love,â he murmurs, and thereâs a shameless moan from the back of his throat as she wraps her legs around his waist, taking him deeper, âGods, you feel so bloody good, Emma.â Because Emma loves it when he tells her how much heâs appreciating what sheâs doing to him â and bloody hell, he is appreciating it. A lot. And sheâs barely done anything yet.
âTell me if itâs too much,â Emma says quietly, her hot breath against his ear sending a shiver of eager anticipation down his spine, âTell me if you need me to stop, at any time and I will. Okay?â
Killian nods his assent, and slowly she begins to move, murmurs words of praise to him as her fingers bury themselves in the hair at the nape of his neck, her other hand slipping behind his back to hold him close. This position is soft and intimate and wonderful as all his senses become completely immersed in everything Emma. Thereâs no room for any other feeling, or any other thought. Sheâs holding onto him as she sets the pace and heâs kissing whatever part of her he can reach, using lips and tongue and teeth the way she likes it and she tastes amazing and he canât get enough and gods, she is going to drive him insane. He enjoys it rough, sometimes â most times â and Emma always obliges, but tonight she takes him gently, lovingly, carefully, all soft phrases and leisurely movements. And itâs exactly what Killian needs, his fears falling away, this tender coupling the complete opposite to the last time he was at someoneâs mercy. And as well as he knows her to work her up, Emma knows how to do the same to him, and despite the slowness of it all Killian finds himself teetering on that edge far quicker than heâd expected. Emmaâs quiet moans and gasps as she rides him lets him know sheâs not far behind, and he desperately hopes sheâs close enough that he wonât leave her unsatisfied.
âEmma⊠gods, Emma, IâmâŠâ Killian groans, long and loud in the quiet of the forest, his jaw tight as he struggles to keep himself in check. âIâm going toâŠâ
âItâs okay,â she says, strained and tremulous and breathless and still continuing the same steady, relentless pace, âItâs okay. Come for me, Killian.â
âYou first, darling,â Killian grits out because damn it, heâs a gentleman.
But heâs too close, he can feel it, heâs not going to be able to hold out. His rhythm is beginning to stutter and heâs losing control. He is wrecked, his endurance is usually better than this and he has to take a moment to breathe, his forehead falling forwards onto Emmaâs shoulder. Thankfully Emma seems to take pity on him, for she pauses her motion while he collects himself. Only a moment, but itâs enough. He can tell sheâs close, if he could just-
âRight there, yes, oh god Killian,â Emma gasps, pulling harder at his hair, her fingernails scratching lightly against his back, âDonât stop, please, please, Killian, Iâm so close.â
His response is a growl, primal and desperate, her almost frenzied pleas sending him past the point of no return. He has no intention of stopping. Another panted yes and god and then sheâs clenching tight around him, his actions bringing her to her peak and his name tumbles from her lips as she shatters and itâs too much and itâs perfect and â and â and heâs there and nothing else matters as they both fall apart.
-/-
No, actually they were âcoming togetherâ in every sense of the phrase, is the first thought Killianâs brain has when heâs able to think anything at all again and he snickers into the juncture of Emmaâs neck and shoulder as she remains in his arms, equally as blissed out as he is.
âWhatâs so funny?â she asks, still out of breath, and Killianâs hand slides up the smooth curve of her back.
âJust thinking.â
He lifts his mouth to hers and kisses her deeply, slowly, pouring all his devotion and gratitude into it, only stopping because he wants to be certain Emma knows how much she means to him.
âEmma, youâre a marvel and I love you.â
âRight back at you,â she says, smiling, sparkling eyes even in the dimness of their shelter, a bit of a flush to her cheeks, âThat⊠that was okay, then?â
She looks unsure now, like sheâs pushed him further than he was ready for, like sheâs broken her promise, and this was what Killian was concerned about â Emmaâs insecurities coming to the forefront. He wants those doubts banished from her mind immediately. He brushes some of her wayward hair behind her ear, his touch lingering against her skin, thumb drawing a path along her jawline on the way back.
âIt was perfect, love,â he assures her, âYou were perfect. You gave me everything I asked for. And⊠I hope my performance was satisfactory as well?â
A smirk punctuates his salacious question, a little lift of his left eyebrow and there, the uncertainty is gone from Emmaâs face like it never existed, replaced with a rather coy smile that Killian much prefers.
âVery.â
They move, eventually, lying down side by side on the mattress and they remain like that, sharing gentle affections and whispered adoration, for quite some time, until the mood gradually changes to something needy once more. Killian moves over the top of her and smiles wickedly, enjoying the way Emmaâs breathing has quickened already before heâs even begun, because now itâs his turn to be in control, and she knows very well what his intentions are. Itâs time to repay his beautiful Swan for the pleasure she bestowed upon him.
to be continued...

best night of our lives | mark lee
pairing: mark x reader
genre: lifeguardau, highschoolau, just straight up shy mark and romanceee
word count: 6.4k
summary: no one told you that spending the entire summer with the cute black aired lifeguard was going to go this way.
a/n: heyyyy iâm back after like a solid year lol. this one was in the drafts from a VERY old request so i got bored and decided to finish it. anywaysss mark lee is best boy. i said what i said. IF YOU WANT TO REQUEST ANYTHING, THEYRE OPEN!
âdo you ever wonder how we can like... see? like what makes it possible for our brains to see colors and stuff like that?â mark said from beside you on the high life guard chair that overlooked the giant pool.
âi donât know mark. why is the sky blue? whatâs the difference between a #1 and #2 pencil?â you craned your neck to look at the dark haired boy next to you from under your sunglasses.
âtouchĂ©â he squinted his eyes at you and turned his head back to the pool with a smile as he looked over the swimming bodies.
this is what your summer has consisted of so far. just you and mark sitting under an umbrella while you watch people splash around in the water under the scorching summer heat everyday.
being a lifeguard at the pool was a job you couldnât miss the chance on. you get to sit around all day and watch people swim and get payed a fair amount of money for it. couldnât get better than that right? oh but it does.
what you didnât know you were gonna walk into the first day of work was the cute, soft, and nice boy that would sit under the umbrella with you. everyday.
every time you would walk out into the pool, mark was already sitting on the lifeguard chair. once he noticed you he would give you a friendly smile and a small wave of his hand that would just melt your heart because, how can someone so cute exist?
you had to admit to yourself that you had the slightest crush on mark ever since you met him in science class back in freshman year. he wasnât much of a talker but still a very friendly person. but oh boy could he get loud. you both shared some mutual friends so it didnât take much for you two to become friends also. mark is someone who could make you laugh just by doing the bare minimum. if you were ever in the same room, just a small lock of your eyes can send you two into a giggling mess, this also being the cause of you and mark getting in trouble with your teacher many times that same year.
you initially thought that your friendship with mark would just be a class thing; probably never to see him outside of school unless you run into him on the street. but once he told you that he had gotten a job as a lifeguard at your local pool, you were shocked to know that you were also going to be working there for the summer and you couldnât help the wide smile that overcame you finding out that you were going to spend more time with this cute and silly boy.
but what surprised you the most was the fact that you guys got put in the same shift, meaning you had to share the giant lifeguard chair with him all day. not like you were complaining anyway.
âhey, um are you maybe doing anything this weekend?â marks eyes drifted to his thick thighs as he played with the hem of his bright red swimming shorts, avoiding your eyes as much as he could.
âno, why?â you slid down your sunglasses to get a better look at him.
âwell, uh-â he swallowed the lump of nerves in his throat and you noticed how adorable he looked when he was nervous.
âmark!â he was interrupted by the sound of a loud high-pitched voice who belong to no other than one of your closest friends; chenle.
you both snapped your heads towards the loud voice and noticed two other of your friends walking along side him; jisung and donghyuck. they smiled and waved at you guys and you mirrored their actions back with a grin.
âwhatâs up love birds?â donghyuck climbed up a few of the steps and placed his hands on the seat to keep himself balanced and not fall backwards into the shallow pool.
you could feel mark stir from next to you and let out an awkward cough to ease the sudden weirdness in the air. you on the other hand felt a giggle and a soft laugh escape your mouth with a shake of your head at the brown haired boy in front of you.
donghyuck was probably the only person who knew of this crush you had on mark. telling chenle and jisung would practically be yelling it out into the world. donghyuck still respected your wishes as to not tell anyone, but that still didnât stop him from throwing little comments here and there like the one he just did.
âwhat are you guys doing here?â you leaned back into the chair and watched the 3 boys in front of you.
âour shift is almost startingâ chenle said as he looked over the people swimming in the pool. âthereâs probably so much pee in thereâ he whispered to himself but was clearly heard as you and jisung looked at each other with a roll of your eyes.
âsay y/n? you happen to have a boyfriend or something at the moment?â donghyuck said which made everyone stop what they were doing and eyes lock on you. you were taken aback by the randomness of his question and suddenly felt nervous all of the sudden. you werenât dating anyone as of right now because of the massive crush on mark; but you felt embarrassed to say that out loud and even more with mark sitting so close next to you.
âi-yâknow! thatâs not a-appropriate to ask right n-now hyuck!â you pinched the side of his arm, making him stumble back onto the ground; rubbing his hand up and down the now red spot. âi was just curiousâ he pouted his lips but that soon turned into a laugh when his eyes landed on red-eared mark.
âwould you look at the time! our shift is over, have fun guys!â you quickly hopped off the tall chair and put on your red sandals and said a quick goodbye before your cheeks flushed more than they already had. mark probably thinks youâre a loser now. why didnât you just answered the question with a simple no and let it go! why did you have to get so flustered! especially in front of mark.
âwhy are you walking so fast?â you heard mark say from behind you making you abruptly stop on your tracks; almost making him crash into you before he caught himself.
âwhy are you here?â you said too fast for your liking.
âwe have the same shift remember?â mark said with a chuckle making you feel your body overheat for what seemed like the 100th time today. why must his cuteness have such an effect on you?! you let out a small âohâ and slowed your steps so he now was walking right beside you.
âhey, remember when i asked you if you were doing something this weekend?â he finally broke the silence when you two reached the entrance outside the locker rooms.Â
ây-yeahâ you spoke hesitantly.
âwell, um. thereâs this party donghyuck is throwing, you heard of it?â
âyeah actually, he mentioned it to me the other day.â your palms started sweating as you didnât know exactly where he was going with his questions.
âgood, so uh, um i was wondering if, you know since you arenât doing anything, would you like to come...with me?â he looked at you with hope in his eyes while he bit his bottom lip a little, hands stuffed down his pockets in fists.
at this point your mind went blank. was mark lee really asking you out after you completely embarrassed yourself in front of him? this must be some type of sick joke the universe is playing on you.
âoh. yes, i would love toâ you smiled up at the boy and it seemed like all the nerves were replaced with a shy grin.
âcool, cool. so iâll pick you up?â he shyly smiled and tilted his head to the side.
âsounds goodâ you smiled back at him and laughed a little.
âiâll see you then.â he began walking backwards towards the boys side of the locker rooms while you stood in the entrance looking like a love-struck teenager. well, technically you were.
âyeah. iâll see you.â you finally turned around once you saw him go in with a huge smile on his face.
guess you werenât embarrassed in front of the boy you had a massive crush on after all. but that doesnât mean you still arenât going to kill donghyuck.
âyou know, you should try and breathe once every 2 seconds. just sayingâ hyuck said from the other end of the line.
you were currently running up and down your room trying to find something decent to wear for the party, which was in like 2 hours. great time management.
âi canât show up looking like a bum hyuck, plus-â you stopped mid sentence as you pulled a shirt from the bottom of your closet with all your force, sending you flying flat on your ass with a soft oof once you finally got it out.
âmark fucking lee asked me to go WITH him, not just a âoh you should show upâ no no no no, he used an actual âwith meââ, you crawled your way over to your computer where half of donghyucks face was shown as he was having an intense stare down with the tv in front of him, his fingers scrambling all over the place on his controller.
âitâs mark weâre talking about here. trust me, heâs not going to notice what youâre wearing- FUCKâ he screamed at the tv as you heard gunshots and then it going silent, he probably lost at whatever game he was losing his brain cells to this time.
âi know but i still want to look somewhat presentable. i donât want tonight to go horribly bad and have him never speak to me ever again.â you pouted as you finally saw his eyes look over at you since the last 20 minutes.
âalright, game plan. put on something nice, get all dolled up and let me know once you and mark get here, i will make sure nothing too out of pocket happens tonight so you and prince charming can run off and get married, okay?â he raised one eyebrow and you smiled into the camera.
âyes! thanks hyuckieâ you grinned at him and blew him a kiss.
âyeah, yeah, whatever. i have to go, jeno and renjun are probably gonna be here any second to help me set up fro the bangerrr.â he shoved his face into the camera and made a disgusted face before he hung up without even allowing you to say a proper goodbye.
after another 40 minutes of looking for something you finally settled on your favorite shirt with a pair of black jeans and went on to get ready.
after putting on your clothes and making sure your hair didnât look a mess, your phone vibrated on your desk.
mark:D : iâll be there in 2 :)
âoh shitâ the nerves finally started creeping up on you as you replied an âokayâ and quickly sent it.
hopefully this night doesnât turn out to be horrible. what could possibly go wrong right? hyuck said heâs gonna have everything under control and try and make things run smoothly so you had nothing to worry about.
as you ran around your room getting the last of your things ready, you heard a knock on your front door.
you walked down the hall towards the door to making sure you had everything from your phone to your keys. you stood in front of the door taking in a big breath and calming down the nerves running through your body.
you opened the door to reveal mark standing in front of you with all his glory. his hands were clasped in front of him as he he rubbed them up and down. when his eyes landed on you, he looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
âhey markâ you smiled and you seemed the relax at the fact that he seemed more nervous than you were. his eyes slightly softened as he stared at you and gave you a cute smile.
âhey, nice houseâ he awkwardly said as he looked around your front porch. you looked at him for a few seconds before bursting into laughs, him along with you.
âyeah, yeah pretty nice huh?â you both looked at each other before breaking into smiles. âready to go?â he put his arm out for you take; which you gladly did.
it was a short ride to donghyucks house, time seemed to pass by quick since you and mark were cracking stupid silly jokes the whole way there. time always seemed to be going fast when you were around mark, even when you guys are at work. mark radiates this energy around him thatâs so calming, he has these awkward moments from time to time, but those moments are your favorites because of how easy you both are able to laugh them off and move on to the next topic. thatâs one of the main reasons why you liked him so much, being around him just made you comfortable and calm.
âdo you think thereâs a lot of people there already?â mark asked as you both saw the front door get closer and closer. the loud bass of the music could be heard all he way from outside in the front yard, but there was no view of the inside hence the curtains were closed.
âi donât know, i doubt donghyuck would make it a big thing anyway.â oh boy how wrong you were.
as soon as you and mark stepped foot inside of the house, there were heads everywhere you turned. it was a sea of people in the living room dancing to some loud song you couldnât recognize. the heavy smell of alcohol invaded your senses and made you scrunch your nose in distaste.
âholy shit. how the hell are we supposed to make it past all these people?â you got closer to marks ear to yell into it as he leaned down to listen. you doubt if you tried to speak in a normal tone he could hear, you could barely even hear your own thoughts.
âhold onâ mark said into your ear as you felt a tight grip on your hand. he held you close to his body and you felt the heat radiating from it. he navigated you guys through the sea of grinding bodies against each other. he made sure to look back at you every so often to make sure you didnât get lost or someone bumped into you.
you guys finally made it into the kitchen were it seemed to be less people. a couple of groups talking or slowly dancing to the music with cups in their hands.
âyou want a drink?â mark looked at you with a raised eyebrow. you didnât respond back immediately, your attention still on the fact that your fingers were interlaced with one another. you looked at your hands and back up at his brown eyes. he seemed to catch on and quickly glanced at your hands before letting go with a blush tainting his soft skin.
he mumbled a small sorry and looked around the kitchen nervously. a giggle left your lips as you reached back for his hand and intertwined your fingers together again. his head snapped back at your hands again and quickly up to your eyes, the same blush now racing to his ears. he nervously laughed and kept his eyes locked on yours.
âiâm not a big drinker actually.â you smiled up at him and he nodded his head in agreement.
âgood. me neither, i canât hold down alcohol for too long. after the first 2 hours it gets ugly.â you both laughed.
âhow about just juice for now?â you dragged him towards the counter where you found bottles of juice, probably as chasers. you emptied them in solo cups, handing one to mark as he took it from your hand; fingers brushing against each other. he smiled as a way of saying thank you and took a sip from the cup as he looked around inspecting the scene.
âyo!â you looked over marks shoulder and saw a tipsy, soon to be drunk, donghyuck approach you guys with a cup in his hand.
âsoo how you guys liking the party?â he wrapped an arm around marks shoulders and looked around at the mass of people.
âthereâs a lot more people than i expected here.â you said over the music.
âi know right! i invited a few people from school but i guess those people invited people, and then those people invited more people.â he said with a shrug of his shoulder and taking a sip from his almost empty cup.
âdude your house is going to be a trashed in the morningâ mark said while he also took a sip of his drink.
ânah, upstairs is off limits anyway. except for you guys of course.â hyuck smirked at you and nodged mark. you and mark made eye contact while he tried to awkwardly laugh hyucks comment away.
âalright thatâs enough. me and mark are offâ you grab marks hand and dragged him away from hyucks tight grasp on him. you spot the door of the backyard open and head for it with mark hot on your heels.
once you guys get outside you spot way less people out here than inside, pixie lights light up the dark night along with the stars looking down at you. the music quietens as you both slowly walk towards a pair of chairs in a more secluded area under a tall tree, a few feet away from everyone else.
âis this okay?â you ask as you take a seat while mark drags his chair closer to yours and faces you.
âyeah, this is great actually. iâm not much of a party person anyway. i only show up to these things for the guys.â he plays with the hem of his cup.
âyeah me too. thereâs just something about sweaty people grinding on each other that just doesnât sit right with me.â you shake your head and you hear mark laugh next to you. you immediately look over to not miss the beautiful smile that drags over his face, bringing one just as big to yours.
âparties are great to be honest. but only if youâre with the right person for the night.â he looks at you before looking off into the house.
you smile and decided to take this as your chance to tease him a little.
âoh really? please elaborate for me mark leeâ you turn your body to face him better and lean your body towards your legs, using your elbows as support, your body now inches away from him.
he looked over when he felt you move and looked into your eyes and thatâs when you noticed how close you guys actually got, but that didn't stop you from continuing.
âi-i mean well, yâknow. when youâre around the right person, you could have one of the best nights of your life. you could either be dancing the night away, or just yâknow, sitting down and just endlessly talk to them.â he looked down at his shoes while he spoke and once he was done he glanced back at your eyes only to see them stare right back into his.
âwow, i didnât know you were that deep. donât worry, iâll try and live up to the expectations tonight and make this one of the best nights of your lifeâ you said with a smirk. you donât know where all this boldness was coming from considering the fact that you were just having a mental breakdown over an outfit not even an hour ago, but you liked it.
âand iâll try to make this one of the best nights of your life y/nâ he raised his cup for you to clink yours against and you both took sips of your drinks while stealing little glances at each other.
âyou guys are so lameâ you both craned your necks to look at the four boys approaching you guys. âyouâre sitting outside away from everyone while thereâs a big ass party going on right insideâ renjun said while he leaned into jeno to his left.
âso? maybe we wanted to have a good conversation without 4 idiots interrupting usâ you perked up and commented with sarcasm while mark laughed, wow it is so easy to make this boy laugh.
âalright, alright point. sorry, we didnât mean to interrupt your little dateâ chenle smiled and gave mark a wiggle of his eyebrows while mark looked like he just got caught with his hand inside the cookie jar.
âdate?â you teased and looked over at mark with a goofy grin on your face, but inside you felt like you were just about to explode cause he actually considered this a date with you!
âremind me to never tell you anything ever again. thanksâ mark avoided eye contact while he tried to look anywhere but at you.
ây/n, did you know that mark called me 3 times just because he didnât know what to wear?â jeno joined in on chenles teasing.
âoh yeah, he also texted the group chat saying, âoh my god iâm so nervous, will she like this?, should i hold her ha-â jisung didnât get to finish his sentence before mark was up on his feet and aggressively covering the younger boys mouth.
âokayyy! thatâs enough.â he nervously laughed while giving jisung and the rest of the guys a death glare, but they didnât seemed to take it seriously by the way they were laughing and continued teasing mark.
âhey, lets head back inside now. i-iâm allergic to pollenâ mark scratched his nose and pretended to sniff and it only made a soft giggle escape your lips.
âsureâ you followed behind him while you guys made your way inside the busy house once again.
you walked deeper into the house until you were in the main area of the living room staring into the sea of dancing bodies to the beat of the song playing from the speakers spread around. you were mesmerized by how much fun everyone seemed to have. they were all in their own individual worlds with not a care in the world. you werenât much of a party person but you definitely liked to have a good time from time to time.
marks eyes lingered on your face as you looked into the crowd with little stars twinkling in your eyes. the fluorescent lights where hitting your face just right making you look like a character right from those movies, where in that moment the male lead realizes how much he likes the female lead and he just couldnât resist himself any longer. you felt marks body press up against your side as he leaned down to whisper in your ear. you felt his hot breath tickling your ear right before he spoke, feeling his lips slightly touch the side of your lobe sending shivers down your spine.
âletâs danceâ he grabbed your hand and led you into the center of the dance floor before you could register what was happening. he placed his hands on your hips and your bodies drew closer to one another, you slowly snaked your hands up his arms before they landed on his shoulders, feeling his muscles tighten under your fingertips before relaxing into your touch. your faces were inches from each other and neither one of you could take your eyes away from the other. your bodies recklessly swayed to the loud music, losing yourselves along the way. you could feel his chest raise up and down along with yours. his hands sliding up and down your torso from time to time, feeling all the curves of your body to the upbeat song playing while the vibrations ran up both your bodies. at some point, both you guys stopped moving. the rest of the world around you guys seemed to continue on while you guys were completely frozen in time, a rush of emotions running wild between your burning bodies. you were just two souls standing in a middle of a dance floor, both of your chest heaving up and down on beat with one another. your eyes bore into one another in some kind of game of who would break first. oh how bad you wanted to taste his lips right then and there, but this didnât seem like the time or place.
âi-iâ you tried to catch your breath. âi think iâm ready for that drink nowâ you whispered and let your forehead meet his, your breath tickling against his lips while he ran his tongue between them to try and moisturize them.
he broke into a sweet smile while running his hands up yours arms that laid on his shoulders and grabbing your interlaced hands around his neck into his and giving them a gentle squeeze. âof course. come on.â he pulled you close behind him and led you through the crowd of people into the kitchen once again.
he poured drinks into two cups for the both of you before handing one to you with a grin. you took it from him and downed the contents in it in record time, trying to cool down your heating body.
mark looked at you with wide eyes before letting a laugh out followed by a small smirk.
ânot a big drinker huh? youâre showing severe alcoholism right now y/n.â he took a long swing on his drink.
âme? an alcoholic? never. now pour me another oneâ you both laughed as he poured more alcohol into your cup, but only filling it less than half way to make sure you pace yourself. he still wanted to take you home in one piece; preferably sober.
âitâs probably gonna take me a solid hour to just finish this one cup while you drank yours before i could even blink. you sure about not being an alcoholic?â he joked while stepping closer to you.
âoh please, itâs just juice mixed with some kind of vodka. iâll be fine.â you took another sip and shoved his shoulder playfully.
âhey! not all of us are heavy drinkers like you. iâm a lightweight and proud.â he gave you his best proud smile and took another long sip of his drink. by the way you guys were constantly taking drinks from your cups, you both were definitely leaving here at least a bit tipsy.
âletâs head back outside, itâs getting stuffy in here and i need some air.â you said as he nodded and followed behind you. your thoughts were still so clouded about the events that just happened a few minutes ago. holy shit, you guys basically eye fucked each other right there on the dance floor without even having a first kiss. itâs not like you were complaining, it was just a very intimate moment. the mark that was grinding up against your body back there was not the same mark that sat next to you everyday with sunscreen smeared on his cheek, having you wipe it off for him and making him blush. you basically turned into putty in his hands back there, and he didnât seem to mind either.
so deep in thought, you didnât see a now very drunk hyuck coming towards you, and before you could snap back into reality, his body had crashed into you. the drink in your hand now spilling all over the front of your shirt. you heard a bunch of âoohsâ around the room while everyone turned to stare at the scene in front of them.
ây/n! holy sh-. are you okay? oh my gosh your shirt. fuck fuck, did i just ruin your night?â hyuck took in noticed what had just happened while he tried to rub some of the stains from your shirt, only making it worse.
âhey, donât worry about it. itâs just a shirt.â you shrugged it off with a wave of your hand. mark was behind you while he examined the mess and winced. âyou can probably get it out with some water, donât worryâ he nodded his head.
ây/n iâm so sorry. i told you i wouldnât let this night go wrong.â hyuck reaches for you between slurred words and stumbled towards you but you managed to catch him before he fell to the floor.
âdude, i told you. donât worry about it, itâs fine. you on the other hand are drunk as fuck.â you grabbed him by his waist before he could make more of a mess.
âwe should probably get him upstairs to his bedroomâ mark said while he took some of hyucks weight off of you, you nodded and you both made your way to the stairs where mark picked up donghyuck and carried him to his bedroom.
you three stumbled into his room while mark set him on his bed, you ran into the bathroom to get the garbage can and put it next to him on the floor.
âi should probably get the rest of the guys and start getting people out of here.â mark said while he walked towards the door, you agreed while you took off hyucks shoes and threw them somewhere in his room.
âalright, iâll stay here and watch him for a while.â he nodded and closed the door behind him. you sat next to hyuck while half of his body hung off the bed as he slowly breathed in and out. few seconds pass by before he speaks up.
âiâm sorry.â hyuck mumbles into his pillow while his eyes slowly open, just to close 2 seconds later.
âitâs fine dude, you didnât do anything wrong.â you patted his back in reassurance.
ânooo, i-i told yo-you, that i would make this night go smoo-smoothlyâ he began to fake cry with flushed cheeks only making you giggle.
âdonât stress it, it went way better than i expected i promise. i wonât go into details since youâll probably forget by morning but-â you paused, âthank you for trying hyuckieâ you continued to pat his back in comfort until soft snores began to leave his lips.
a few minutes after you made sure he was positioned comfortably, you walked into the bathroom to look at yourself. your hair was sticking out on all places while most of your makeup had either smudged or faded off your face. so much for trying to look nice. you looked down towards your shirt and noticed a big red/gold mixed stain decorating the front and you sighed.
âi loved this shirtâ you whispered as you grabbed a towel, wetting it under the faucet and trying to dab off the stain.
âi know right, i loved it tooâ mark walked in behind you and smiled at you through the mirror. he walked until he stood next to you, leaning up against the counter while you continued to try and get the stain out.
âsorry this night wasnât up to your expectations.â you shaked your head in disappointment. mark grabbed the towel from your hands as he stepped closer towards you, grabbing the hem of your shirt and pulled you towards him, making you stand between his parted legs. he held the shirt towards him while he rubbed on the stain more sufficiently than you probably were.
âare you kidding? i had one of the best nights of my life tonight. i partied with friends, had a couple of drinks, and hung out all night with the most beautiful girl. donât even mention how we were killing it out on that dance floor.â you let out an ugly snort and glanced up at his face. your eyes met for a brief second and you were back to that little world you guys continued to escape to throughout the night.
âmark-â
âshh, just. just donât say anything right now.â he came closer towards your body. he glanced down to your lips before his eyes shot up towards yours once again, asking for permission. you beat him to it when you leaned in and your lips recklessly crashed into his.
you know that moment in movies when two people kiss and fireworks suddenly start going off. well it was like that when you kissed mark, only with those fireworks going off inside your fluttering stomach and having your mind race 1000 mph.
you lips moved against each other in a drunken, reckless way, but it was still passionate. you donât know who started it, but soon your felt your tongueïżŒïżŒs fight for playful dominance. your arms snaked around his neck while you bring him down more towards you to get better access to his lips. his hands immediately went up to your hips, guiding you to lean up against the counter while his hands explored more of your body and slowly leading themselves down south. you teased him by biting his lip a few times, making him groan against your lips and give your hips a quick squeeze.
you both were so caught up in the moment you didnât hear someone enter the room after a few minutes.
âyo- oh god. really?! while hyuck is passed out?!â renjun yelled at you guys once he noticed what shenanigans you two were up too. you and mark immediately let go of each other and turned around with wide eyes
âsorry, dude. uh whatâs up?â mark nervously scratched the back of his neck while looking at his feet. you on the other hand were a bunch of shy smiles and trying your best to avoid eye contact with either one of the boys.
âeveryone left and we managed to clean the downstairs. hyucks parents probably wonât be back until the weekend, and he seems like he probably wonât wake up until tomorrow-â renjun looked down at donghyucks sprawled out body on is bed before he continued, â-so me and jeno are staying over to keep an eye on him overnight, so you guys are good to go if you want.â he smirked at the both of you while he made his way towards the door, closing it behind him. you and mark stood there in silence for a few seconds before he turned around and faced you again
âlemme take you home.â mark smiled. you noticed how pink and swollen his lips were and that only made you break into a big smirk, soon realizing your lips probably looked no different from his.
âyeah sure.â you nodded and he began to walk out of the bathroom before you grabbed his hands, making him quickly turn around before you crashed your lips onto his for a few more seconds before parting with a loud smack.
ânow letâs go.â you both walked out hand in hand and descended down the stairs, waving goodbye to jeno and renjun on your way out.
the ride back to your house was silent. but comfortable silence. you both were pretty tired considering it was almost 2 in the morning, thank god your parents were out of town for the weekend.
you and mark were holding hands the entire time on the way to your house while some slow r&b song played from the radio. from time to time mark would give your hand a squeeze to make sure you were still there, you would turn to him and smile before squeezing his hand back and rubbing small circles on the back of it which would make him slightly blush and hide a shy smile.
once you arrived at your house, he walked you all the way up to your porch and stopped right in front of the door. you turned towards him before he embraced you in a tight hug, burring his head in the crook of your neck and your hair.
âdid you have fun?â he asked once he pulled away from your neck but still holding you in his arms.
âi had the best night. thank you mark.â you played with the ends of his hair behind his neck and he smiled down at you.
âit was my pleasure. plus, itâs only nice to return the favor. you gave me the best night so i had to do the same. well, besides a drink getting spilled on you.â he looked down between your bodies to see the dried up beverage on your shirt but you just laughed it off.
âthat was probably the highlight of the night.â you guys giggled and continued to stare at each other.
âi should probably head home. itâs getting pretty late.â he finally unwrapped his arms from around you and took a couple of steps back, stuffing his hands inside of his jean pockets.
âyeah definitely, birds will start chirping soon. so, see you at work on monday?â you tilted your head to the side and gave him a goofy grin which he only returned with a goofier one.
âyeah, i wouldnât miss it.â he began to walk back towards his car, before he stopped in his steps and ran back towards you to crash his lips into yours in a passionate kiss.
âiâm taking you out on a real date soon. yâknow, one where our drunk friend doesnât spill a drink on you and we make out in his bathroom while heâs passed outâ he giggled before separating and walking backwards toward his car again. you only smiled and watched him.
âi would really love that.â you watch him round the corner of his car.
âhey mark?â you yelled once you saw him open the door to it. at this point you didnât care how late it was and who was sleeping, youâve never told him about your feelings all night and this seemed like the perfect time to do it.
âyeah?â
âi really, really like you.â you stared at him until you saw him break into that beautiful smile you loved so much.
âhey y/n?â he yelled back at you.
âyeah?â you smirked.
âi really, really, REALLY like you too.â you heard him say before he laughed and got into his car, waving at you before driving away.
you only smiled before opening your door and heading inside to get into bed. making a quick mental note to thank hyuck for making it one of the best nights ever.
a/n: iâm not good at endings and it shows. btw i wrote the whole dancing scene after watching that one episode of vampire diaries where damon and elena were dancing in that halloween party hehe. just thought i should share.

Where thereâs smoke, thereâs fire (part 3)
When Felix wakes up, he immediately notices something is off.
There's a brief moment of panic when he realizes he's not in his own bed, the layout of the strange room different than what heâs used to. To make matters worse, someone stirs next to him in the bed, and Felixâ
Has his hand on the man's bicep and has apparently slept curled up next to him.
Ace is still asleep, sprawled out on his back on the hotel bed, snoring softly without a care in the world.
Felix recalls last night. There was the fire alarm, and they'd talked while sharing a blanket for warmth. Then, he'd invited Ace up, they'd kissed, Ace had agreed to stay the nightâŠ
⊠And things had escalated to the point where Felix had come in his pants like a teenager.
Felix buries his face in his pillow in embarrassment and silently wishes the earth would swallow him whole. Nothing about this situation is like him at all; usually, heâs careful to a fault, and having a one-night-stand with a man he just met has been something reserved only for fantasies.
But Ace hadnât seemed to mind. On the contrary, heâd been understanding and even encouraging, not running for the hills despite Felixâs numerous fuck-ups.
Felix peeks up from the pillow and looks at Ace. Something flutters in his gut upon taking in his bedmate's relaxed features while he sleeps. And then something different stirs in his groin when he realizes Ace is shirtless, a lean arm stretched behind his pillow, the duvet only covering half of his hairy chest.
It's embarrassing how much the proximity of a very male body next to Felix is enough to wake his libido, years' worth of repressed sexuality now hitting him full force. He barely resists the urge to reach out and touch the grey curls, not wanting to wake Ace, since they don't have anywhere to beâ
Shit!
Felix bolts up to sit on the bed and frantically glances around the room for a clock, acutely reminded that he's here for business and not a gay escapade.
âOof!â Ace protests and flinches awake when Felix accidentally knees him in the ribs.
âSorry,â Felix apologizes half-heartedly, finally spotting the alarm clock on the nightstand next to Ace.
Seeing the numbers 8:40, Felix immediately sighs in relief and slumps back down on the bed. He still has plenty of time before his business appointment.
âSleep well?â Ace's asks, voice groggy with sleep while he blinks awake.
âYes,â Felix says. âUhm⊠and you?â he asks awkwardly, immediately feeling much more self-conscious now that Ace is awake.
âLike a baby,â Ace flashes Felix a grin but doesn't meet his eyes.
Ace proceeds to sit up, before yawning long and loud, stretching his arms above his head.
And Felix stares like an absolute creep at the way Ace's shoulder muscles move with the action. He wants to run his hands all over them, thanking his luck that they still have time for a lazy morning under the covers.
âWell, I should probably get out of your hair,â Ace says, shattering Felix's daydream. âLeave you to prepare for your important meeting.â
Ace pulls the covers away from himself and turns to get out of bed, and Felix wants to protestâ
âNo,â Felix finds himself saying out loud, Ace's head immediately whipping around to look at him in surprise.
âI, ehm,â Felix starts, clearing his throat self-consciously. âI have time. If you do too,â he manages lamely.
A smile slowly spreads over Ace's face, making his eyes crinkle at the corners and a familiar warmth sparkle within them.
âIt's kinda chilly, huh?â Ace grins, leaving Felix confused.
âNot particularlyââ he starts, feeling almost too warm under the thick duvet.
âWe should cuddle for warmth,â Ace interrupts before eagerly slipping back between the covers, making realization dawn on Felix.
âYou're right,â he says, playing along while trying not to smile like an idiot as Ace scoots closer. âI'm very cold.â
âWell, can't have that, now can we?â Ace smiles, lifting the covers and extending his arm, and Felix gratefully take the opportunity to cuddle up to him.
Sighing blissfully as Ace's arms wrap around him, Felix buries his face in the crook between Ace's neck and shoulder.
Making good of his earlier thought, Felix brings one of his hands up from Aceâs back to smooth over the manâs shoulders. Ace hums in approval and starts petting Felix's hair, and Felix never realized just how nice it is to be held. His few girlfriends were always much more petite than him, and even though Ace is shorter and smaller than him, he's broader and bigger than a woman and Felix feels safe in his arms.
Felix's other hand, on its own accord, comes up to rest on Ace's chest, and it's only when the man huffs in amusement that Felix realizes he's been playing with his chest hair again.
And it suddenly hits him just how weird it is that he's happily cuddling the man he only met technically today without technically even having sex with him.
âThis probably isn't how a normal hook-up goes, huh?â Felix realizes, hesitantly stilling the movement of his hand.
âNot really,â Ace chuckles, the sound reverberating in his chest under Felix's hand. âBut normalâs boring anyway, donât you think?â
âI suppose,â Felix murmurs with a smile, doubts successfully reassured. On impulse, he places a soft peck on Ace's neck.
When the other shivers and gasps, Felix pulls back to look at him, startled by the reaction.
âUh, neck's kinda sensitive,â Ace offers with a sheepish grin.
Well. It sure would be a shame if someone used that information for their advantage later tonight.
âI don't know whether to be turned on or scared,â Ace jokes, seeing the mischievous smile on Felix's face.
âLater,â Felix says, leaning in for a kiss that Ace dodges, Felix's lips landing on Ace's stubbled cheek.
âI promise you don't wanna taste my mouth right nowâ Ace explains. âIt's a distinct combination of booze and death.â
Felix would like to pretend like he's not grossed out by morning breath, but then remembers he didnât even offer to lend Ace a hotel toothbrush last night.
âFair enough,â Felix says, settling for kissing Ace's bearded jaw instead.
The prickling under his lips is pleasant and, again, so distinctly masculine. Felix can't help nuzzling into Ace's jawline, his own morning stubble rasping against the trimmed beard.
âHaving fun?â Ace teases, returning the gesture, scraping his beard over Felix's stubbled cheek.
âSorry,â Felix chuckles. âIt's just different. In a good way.â
âI'm not judging,â Ace grins. âIf you wanna bump your head into me and knead my chest hair like a cat, go right ahead.â
âI'm⊠a little obsessed, sorry,â Felix says, a hand running through said chest hair once again.
âBaby, a guy with your face? You can do whatever you want with me," Ace purrs suggestively, and Felix feels heat rising up his neck.
âDo you really think I look good?â Felix asks, almost regretting it once he realizes just how insecure he sounds.
Sure, his ex-girlfriends complimented him every now and then, but that's what couples do, right? The kids back in his school years sure didn't make it a secret how "weird" and "boring" they thought Felix was.
âDon't tell me no one ever told you how pretty you are,â Ace grins. At Felix's confused frown, Ace's smile falters. âFuck me, no one ever told you how pretty you are.â
âPeople don't generally tend to compliment strangers,â Felix points out.
âThey should if the stranger looks like you!â Ace exclaims, now sounding almost offended on his behalf. âOkay, babe, listen. This is important,â Ace says, grabbing Felix by the shoulder and looking straight into his eyes.
âYou're gorgeous,â Ace says. âAnd, yeah, I donât really tend to be stingy with compliments, but you're easily in the top five of most attractive people I've ever seen in my life.â
âYou said this was important,â Felix says with a small smile, trying not to flush from the praise.
âIt is!â Ace insists. âYou need to know that you're a ten and you can't spend your life picking up fives and sixes.â
Felix frowns, not really seeing where Ace is going with this.
âI mean obviously I'm not referring to myselfââ Ace hurries to add. âBut if you ever start getting more involved in the hookup scene, you need to set the bar high. Because trust me, you're not gonna run out of options.â
Felix barely resists the urge to tell Ace that he can't see himself sleeping with men that aren't him, but manages to just nod instead so he doesnât sound too clingy.
He's still flustered that Ace finds him this attractive and isn't afraid of saying so. Maybe it's a cultural thing, the Argentine much more free with his compliments than is customary in Germany.
âSo, now that we've established how hot you areâŠâ Ace starts, sensing Felix's awkwardness about being in the spotlight like this. âYou probably didn't have the time to check out the breakfast buffet, huh?â
âNo, I only got here last night,â Felix says.
At the mention of food, Felix suddenly notices a pang in his belly, signaling an empty stomach. Having only had a couple of pathetic airplane meals for the past 24 hours, breakfast is sounding pretty tempting right about now.
âWell, need some help with that?â Ace suggests.
âHelp?â Felix asks, confused.
âYou know,â Ace gestures lazily with his hand. âGet all the insider information. Which cereal to pick. Whether apple or orange juice is better. Important stuff.â
Hearing the strange suggestion, something clicks in Felix's head.
âAre you asking if I want to have breakfast together?â Felix asks.
âIs it working?â Ace grins.
âSomehow, yes,â Felix says, and Aceâs smile widens even further.
âI hate to say it, but we should probably get out of bed in that case,â Ace says, sitting up on the bed and taking the cozy warmth of his body away. âI'll swing by my room to freshen up. See you downstairs in half an hour?â he offers over his shoulder, starting to dress himself.
âSounds good,â Felix agrees, hurrying to get out of bed so he'll have time to make himself look presentable.
Making for the bathroom to brush his teeth, he walks past his phone on the desk, suddenly remembering something crucial.
âOh,â Felix says, making a nearly-dressed Ace perk up and look at him. âCan I please have your number, just in case? I don't want to lose you again.â
âAww, babe,â Ace smirks. âThe three seconds we were separated by the elevator were hard on me too.â
âYou know what I mean,â Felix mutters, shooting Ace a half-hearted glare.
âI do, I do,â Ace defuses with a smile, walking up to Felix with a partially buttoned shirt and extending his hand. âHere, Iâll type it for you.â
As Felix hands over his phone and watches Ace add his number, his gaze inadvertently drifts down to the man's exposed chest. The crumpled, pastel pink shirt combined with the generous neckline exposing a hairy chest should look nothing short of ridiculous and trashy.
Instead, Felix forces his eyes away before his sweatpants start tenting suspiciously. What the hell is wrong with him?
âThere!â Ace finally finishes his task and hands Felix back his phone. âCall me?â Ace suggests andâthankfullyâproceeds to button his shirt most of the way up.
Felix glances at the number, smiling as he sees "Ace â ïž" as the contact name.
âCute,â Felix comments when he presses the call button.
âNot as cute as you,â Ace winks, grabbing his own phone that lights up on the nightstand. âThanks babe, I got it.â
âDo I even want to know what you're saving me as?â Felix mutters, intrigued.
âOops, would you look at that, gotta run!â Ace grins, avoiding the question and making for the door. âSee you in thirty, handsome!â
âBe safe,â Felix reflexively calls after him, and Ace turns and raises an eyebrow, making Felix choke on his own embarrassment. âI mean⊠yes. See you soon.â
Like he should have said in the first place. You know, like a normal person.
Instead of making fun of him, Ace just smiles in a kind of derpy way.
âCan you stop being so adorable?â Ace teases, but then he's out of the door before Felix can even begin to think of a reply.
Left to his own devices, Felix realizes he only has thirty minutes to shower, shave and get ready for what is essentially his first date with a man.
He hurries to the bathroom and turns on the shower, a flash of shame shooting through him as he spots his previously soiled boxers still drying on the towel rack.
Still, he manages to shower, shave, blow dry his hair and brush his teeth with ten minutes to spare.
But then he runs into his next crisis; what the hell does he wear?
Felix ends up laying all of his outfits on the bed, and yes, five entire outfits might have been excessive for a three-day-trip, but it sure comes in handy now.
Does he wear his work clothes? It might be overdressing for the occasion. He can't wear the leather jacket, since theyâre only going to be indoors. Can he go with the t-shirt and vest? Will Ace think he's a slob?
Suddenly recalling Ace has only seen him in his pajamas, Felix realizes anything he chooses to wear is probably a vast improvement.
And then he also realizes he only has three minutes left, having wasted most of his time overthinking his outfit choice.
No small amount of cursing later, Felix manages to dress himself in the casual outfit, only fretting momentarily over whether the jeans are too casual or not. Since he has no time left to gel his hair into place, he haphazardously brushes his bangs over to one side and hopes that itâs good enough.
Barely remembering his keycard, Felix is out of the door with only one minute to spare, power-walking to the elevator.
He pushes the call button, and then pushes it again⊠and again, when the elevator isn't fucking arriving. He glances at his watch, remembers he didn't remember to put on a watch, sighs and runs a hand through his hair in frustration. But at least the elevator is finally hereâ
âFancy seeing you here,â Ace quips as soon as the doors slide open.

word count: 2511
requested: yes!
warnings: language, slight angst, stab wound
a/n: GUESS WHOSE BACK BACK BACK BACK AGAIN!!! hey guys! sorry iâve been mia recently, school has really been piling up on me and i pushed off this part for so long! tbh i think this is gonna be slightly slow burn?? i donât want to rush anything oof. hope you guys like it :))Â
THE NEXT DAY
As both Peter and Y/N made their way to school, they communicated to one another on how they should act and when they should tell their individual friends about the whole soulmate ordeal. For the time being, they decided to still hate each other at school--which, technically, they still hadnât been too fond of each other ever since the previous day. Y/N, being the more stubborn of the two, couldnât push aside the decade-long rivalry between her and Peter. She was still in denial that he was her soulmate, the one who she would spend the rest of her life with.Â
Chewing on her lip, Y/N thought about her future with Peter in it. She always knew that he would stick around in her life but never where. After the almost-kiss that they shared last night, she muted her thoughts from him, not wanting to distract while fighting crime. As she did so, she wondered why she cared about the well-being of the boy, not just in academics.
-at Midtown-
As Peter and Y/N made their way to their first period, they cautiously stood at different places from one another when passing through the hallway. Thankfully enough, Ned found Peter and they weaved their way into their history class. Y/N found herself in the class moments after, taking a seat in the back corner to ensure that she could take a nap for the period.
Y/N had always prepared ahead of time for the classes she decided to take naps in. Her phone was programmed to pick up what the teacher was saying during the lecture; later, Y/N would listen and add extra information to her notes (a/n: i suggest this highly; it works super well! :)).
When the lecture started, Y/N was out like a light. She got plenty of sleep the night before, but still preferred to be asleep. Peter, who sat across the room, tried to focus on his notes, but felt the strong urge to stare at her. Similar to Y/N, Peter felt hesitant to feel affections toward his usual enemy. Ever since yesterday, he cringed at how the two treated each other.Â
Needless to say, these circumstances were more than overwhelming.
-lunch-
After their fifth period Spanish class, Y/N and Peter walked side by side in the hallway. Before they knew it, Flash called out at Peter.
âHey Penis Parker! What are you doing, flying out of your league?âÂ
âAnd what would you know, Flash? Last time I checked, your homecoming date left you in the dust to go and grind with some other egotistical prick.â
Flashâs jaw dropped at Y/Nâs words and Peter covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. Y/N turned around to face Flash, deadpan--clearly unamused by his ever so endearing nickname for Peter. Then, as if in some world-turning moment, she realized that she had just defended her rival.
Nobody knew that they were soulmates just yet.
She couldnât let that happen--not now at least.
However, before she could make an excuse for standing up for Peter, Flash suddenly changed his target of ridicule.
âAw, Iâm sorry babe. Do you have a personal score to settle with Lindsey? Or, better yet, come over tonight and we can,â Flash continued to advance towards her and corner Y/N onto a locker, âmake up for lost time.â Flash was face-to-face with Y/N, expelling his hot breath over her face. Although Flash was yet another person who knew how to make Y/Nâs skin crawl, she decided to swallow the vomit coming up her throat and let herself be âenchantedâ with the king of douches.
âUmm...you sure have a way with words, handsome,â Y/Nâs mind was screaming at her to kick him in the nuts, but her pride didnât allow her to let up and run to her only safe space--Peter. She feigned a gleaming smile, letting it hit her eyes. Flash only smirked at his supposed âpowerâ over women, though it repulsed anything that walked--no, breathed--on this very earth. Y/N continued to keep this act up by biting her lip and forcing herself to eye his lips, misshapen and topped with peach fuzz for a mustache. It sent her back to last night with Peter, and she mentally sunk into thoughts of the blessed day when sheâd put her guard down and allow herself to love him--woah, wait...what the fuck?
Just as she was about to dwell on her absurd thought, she felt the disgustingly warm body heat in front of her being ripped away and an angry Peter now in front of her. His back was facing her and he held his death grip on Flash, who now looked scared as all hell, was panting from the sudden movement and wide-eyed.
âHow about we donât do that?â Peter threatened, gritting his teeth and shooting daggers at Flash. Y/N walked directly behind Peter and performed the trick as old as time: playing with the angry boyâs hair to calm him down. As she laced her fingers through his wavy hair, Peter fell victim to the affection. He let go of Flash, freeing him to run away from the previously seething Peter--not sparing to look back at the nerd who once could never have the heart to kill a fly.Â
Y/N grabbed onto Peterâs shoulder and turned him around, hand still interlocked within his curls. Peterâs expression showed pure relaxation, contradicting the near-death that he could have caused. They looked into each otherâs eyes, once again letting the rest of the world slip away. Thank God that everyone else had cleared the hallway and went their own ways to the cafeteria. The young Stark filed her hand through his exceptionally soft hair--what conditioner do you use? They chuckled, knowing that only these two could see into her comedic genius. Peterâs eyes wandered her face, taking in her features and mentally noting small details that he wouldâve never noticed beforehand. He suddenly cupped her face with his hands and went to lean in, only for Y/N to abruptly rip her contact from him.
âPeter--â
âIâm sorry--â
âCan we just give...give whatever this is--a moment to breathe? Jesus, itâs been a day and now I have to make sure that no one ever hits on me because God forbid Spider-Manâs soulma--â Peterâs hand clamped over Y/Nâs mouth, eyes wide and desperate for her to shut up.
âIâm sorry, ok? Now will you stop talking before someone hears?â Y/N shoved his hand off her mouth and made a beeline towards the exit, not dealing with anymore of this bullshit.
Y/N, frustrated and fed up, went home to the complex--this, and she swears by it, was by far the worst week of her life. She wished that she wasnât so difficult, that she could have been dealt a different soulmate, that she could start over, that she could be anywhere else but here. She made an effort to ignore his thoughts and mute her own. She didnât want to be burned again. She has always pined after the well-deserved love and freely gave her heart to the people who gave her half-assed compliments--believing that each time would be different. Yet time and time again she would be let down, until she had enough. She sealed her walls with super-glue and rejected any form of genuine interest in her well-being.Â
-at Avengers complex-
4:56
Peter tried to busy himself with expanding his patrol area, patrol hours, and homework--anything to avoid facing the obvious. He may as well be dead to her, right?
God, no! Donât ever say that. Just--give me time, alright? This is just...a lot.
Look--weâre adjusting right now. Us even talking is already some sort of sign that we can try to get along. I know youâd prefer to stay at the very least 6 feet apart but--fuck, Iâll be honest--ever since weâŠconnected Iâve been able to see you in a different light--
--pretty sure thatâs called being horny--
--will you just...you know what? No. You donât get to find out what I was going to say. Are you happy now?
Y/N didnât respond. She just laid on her bed, aggressively staring at her window, hoping that he just might swing by.
It wasnât long until she felt a searingly white hot pain on her left side. She screamed out in her room, trying to haphazardly relieve some of this unbearable punishment of having a superhero as a soulmate. Tears blurred her vision and she clutched her side, unable to move in fear that she would break her entire body. With as much effort she could put out, she reached for her suit tracking device--jesus christ, what the fuck happened to him?
Y/N saw the spider icon deep in the streets of Queens, at one of the many Mom and Pop restaurants. She saw an update on the suit condition:
OPENING ON LEFT SIDE - COULD BE KNIFE WOUND?
Peter, are you okay? Please get out of there as soon as you can! Iâll call the police right now--OW!
Y/N received a crisp punch to her right cheek, wincing and letting the new tears fall over her face. She tried to stay strong, despite everything hurting so much. She pressed âNOTIFY POLICEâ on the device and curled into a ball, hoping the pain would stop soon. Just as she thought it was over, a square kick to the stomach almost caused an upheaval of her last meal. Stars taking over her vision, she fell unconscious onto her bedroom floor.
-meanwhile-
Peter has had his fair share of difficult and strong criminals, but damn! This group was one for the books. Not considering the soulmate tie between himself and Y/N, he fought the band of robbers and took each hit as a grain of salt.
Peter, are you okay? Please get out of there as soon as you can! Iâll call the police right now--OW!
âOh shit--â Peter mumbled, allowing himself to get punched in the face by the one of the last men standing. Easily knocking him out with his special âpow, pow, POWâ combo, as Peter liked to call it.
Unfortunately, before he could safely escape the scene, with the criminals webbed up against the wall, the final âstupidheadâ (once again, as Peter liked to call it) attacked him with a swift kick to the stomach.
Shit.
Peter heard the sirens nearly a block away, so he opted to avoid any more conflict by webbing the kicker against the ceiling of the restaurant--stealing away into the city and on the way to the complex.
He remembered the backpack that was so secretly plastered next to the window of Y/Nâs bedroom and was quick to change into his street clothes. Practically breaking into her bedroom, Peter was instantly at Y/Nâs unconscious side--did her body show where he got hurt also?
Unsure if he was throwing away all of Aunt Mayâs well-taught respect and manners of âdonât put your hands on a girl unless she says you can and she wants you to,â Peter lifted her shirt to check if she was stabbed as well. Fortunately, either soulmate can have the sensation of pain--not the actual injury itself.
Y/N woke with a start, breaking her eyelids open to see Peter lifting her shirt to check the left side.
âWhat are you doing?â Y/N flinched away, tearing the material out of his hands.
âIâm sorry--I was checking if you were okay--â
â--people donât check under other peopleâs shirts--wait. Am I stabbed?â Y/N went to check herself, only to double take at Peterâs blood stain growing larger by the second.
âOh my god--stay right there, ok? Iâll go get a first aid kit--holy shitâŠâ
Peter chuckled at her antics, but winced as he realized that...I got stabbed and itâs an open wound and now Iâm laughing and oh my god--
âOk, holyshitok--lay on my bed, please. Lay on your side, with the wound facing me. Also, please take off your shirt,â Y/N took a deep breath, preparing the sutures to properly address the injury. She concentrated, despite her hands shaking horribly.Â
âThis is going to feel even worse than when I start to sew but you can grab onto something if you need,â Y/N softly spoke, ready to clean, with alcohol, around where the knife had tore into his flesh. Peter nodded, unsure what he could grab onto without breaking her concentration. He opted for her bedsheets, which were slightly wrinkled and smelled like the expensive detergent that often surrounds Y/N--what? Why am I--
Y/N hummed in content and smiled to herself as she finished disinfecting and started to sew. Although Peter was used to his clumsy hands dangerously stitching together his deeper injuries, Y/Nâs precision and patience to ensure the least amount of pain almost...put him at peace. She would glance over at him to reassure herself that he wasnât passed out--though that would make the situation far less intimidating. Here he was, Peter Benjamin Parker, shirtless and occasionally bleeding (though it was far less than before), on Y/N M/N Starkâs bed. When she wasnât looking at him, Peter would steal glances at the young Stark, appreciating her calm nature in such a scenario like this. On the other hand, when he wasnât staring at her, Y/N would give a side eye to Peter--who was focusing on the small design on the bedsheets. He recognized the R2-D2 and C-3PO duo that continued across the dimensions of the mattress, tracing the dark outline of each character.
âOk, Iâm almost done. I just need to apply the gauze and the skin adhesive,â Y/N stated, quickly exiting the room to go fetch the proper dressings.
When she came back, Peter was still in the same position--but with stilled breathing and relaxed muscles.
Oh my God, heâs asleep. At least the hard partâs over--I think.
Y/N finished the full treatment for the wounds, briefly waking Peter up to tell him to get changed into some loungewear. He barely obliged, grumpy from having been woken up from his short nap. He pouted like a toddler, wanting to return to the âcomfy bed with the nice blankets.â Y/N did her best to not laugh, admiring the adorable nature that came with him. He returned to the bed and Y/N made sure that he was comfortable enough without laying directly on top the wounds. She tried her best to be a better person and reluctantly played with his hair, hearing a small âthank youâ in response. Peter fell asleep immediately, exhausted from a mentally and emotionally gruelling day.
Y/N watched as he finally relaxed into his sleep, thankful that she could at least help the superhero everyone loved.
Someday, I will love him. Just not now--not yet. I canât let you in just yet.

From The Stars
Ok we are back with another installment of this story. Once again thank you to those who have liked, commented and reblogged this labor of love.Â
Rating: M for swearing, mentions of abuse, and smut in later chapters
Chapter 5
As weeks went by, Obi got even more used to this new life. Almost forgetting his former life, but he still meditated and practiced his lightsaber forms. He learned a wide variety of new things including cooking, driving a car, and small house repairs. It was enjoyable doing work with his own 2 hands though he did cheat with the force once in awhile. He shook his head and wondered what his master would say if he saw him now. Looking to the woman outside playing with her dog he also wondered how Qui Gon would think about the recent developments and her in general. He was sure he would tell him to mind his feelings and focus on the present. But she was in the current reality, he let out a sigh.
She played outside with Hershey, enjoying the sunshine and sweet wind. The brown dog came bounding back after retrieving a stick that she threw. He dropped it then tackled hair. She landed in the grass with a slight âoofâ She laughed as he began licking her face.
âYou're such a goober boy.â she said wrestling around with him. He was the best companion the last few years, coming into her life at one of the darkest times. Her thoughts turned to the man in the house. The stranger from the stars, who had become one of her best friends. He was so full of warm and kindness. She felt bad that he couldn't find a way home, so she tried her best to make him at home. He took life on Earth pretty well, you would think he was a native. So many times did his ocean blue eyes haunt her dreams, in a good way of course. She loved his hugs and enjoyed the small touches she would give her. She often wondered what his lips would feel like against hers, but she shook her head of those thoughts, it was forbidden to him after all.
âCmon boy lets go see what Obi is up to.â giving him a pat on the side.
Dusting herself off they both headed inside. When they opened up the door a delicious smell wafted into her nose. She walked into the kitchen and saw him in front of the stove.
âMmmm that smells amazing. Whatcha cookin?â while washing her hands.
He turned to her and smiled a toothy grin.
âNothing special just some pasta. Would you like to taste sauce?â
âSure!â
He scooped some up on the spoon and held it out to her. She blew on it and he slowly brought it to her lips but before she could take a bite he bopped the spoon on her nose getting a bit of sauce on there.
âHEY!!!â she yelled âYou ass!â
His gut erupted with laughter. Blue eyes twinkling with mirth. Grabbing his towel of his shoulder he reached over and wiped the sauce off.
âSorry couldn't help myself. Here.â He was still laughing.
âI don't think I can trust you,â she said while grabbing the spoon and popping it into her mouth. Her eyes rolled back at the deliciousness of the sauce.
âDamn Obi you're becoming an amazing cook. This is so delicious.â
âThank you very much. Now get off my kitchen so I can finish.â he said while shooing her away with the towel.
âYeah..yeah.â she said giving him a rude gesture while walking out.
He laughed and shook his head returning to the task at hand, shaking his head with a small chuckle. She brought out a playful and mischievous side of him he hadn't tapped in since his youngling days. He served up dishes and called her to the table. They sat at the table enjoying the meal and talking about embarrassing stories. As the meal came to a close, Vanessa cleared the her throat.
âSo I was thinking...summer is at an end, and we haven't really done any outside activities.â
âOh? What is on your mind?â he said while wiping his mouth and looking at her curiously
âI was thinking you, Hershey and I should head out to the lake. Spend the day swimming, tubing and just hanging out, just you know... enjoy the weather.â
He reached over and put his hand on top of hers, âThat sounds amazing. When?â he said with a little excitement in his voice.
âHow about tomorrow. We can leave earlyâŠ.after your meditation of course.â
âLets do it.â
âAlright. Sounds great! Ill start gathering things for tomorrow.â
âI cooked, now you clean up.â He said while leaning back with his hands behind his head with a smirk.
âOkay okay I am goingâ she said while grabbing some plates. âYou're becoming such a smart ass. Been hanging around on Earth too long.â
Letting out a chuckle he got up and sat on the couch to watch TV. Hershey hopped up on the couch with him and put his head on his lap. Obi stroked his head. He had grown attached to the big dog, came to see it as his own. He never had any pets as it was forbidden to have attachments. He sighed thinking about it. He got accustomed to this life here. Well no matter, he was looking forward to tomorrow. A few minutes later Vanessa came into the room and they picked out a movie to watch and enjoyed the rest of the evening together.
The Next DayâŠ
They both awoke early to pack the car for the day, looking forward to the day ahead. Hershey excitedly jumped in the car because he knew they were going for a car ride.
Loading in they headed to the lake. As they were driving the played music and Obi even sung along to the ones he had grown familiar with.
They finally arrived at their destination and Obi cheated and unloading everything with the force.
âSometimes I forget you can do that. I thought the force wasn't a play thing, dear Jedi.â
âAs long you don't tell on me.â he said bopping her nose.
âNo promises.â She said with a chuckle.
Hershey settled him self on a blanket watching the pair. He knew he had to wait to go jumping in the lake for Vanessa. She started to strip off her shirt and shorts revealing a purple bikini. Obi stole a glance over to her not wanting to make it obvious. He swallowed taking in all of her curves and seeing a few scars littering her otherwise smooth skin. He groaned to himself as he imagined his hands running down every curve and paying special attention to the scars. He cleared his throat and looked away before she could see him.
She knew he was looking but didn't make a big deal out of it because she didn't want him to get embarrassed and part of her wanted him to. She knew she was far from perfect especially with the scars she has. She sighed trying not remember the cause of those scars. Reaching down she scratched her dog causing his tail to wag rapidly.
âCmon boy!â
They started walking down to the lake.
âHurry up Obi!!â yelling over shoulder.
âYeah yeah.â He said while removing his pants and shirt. Now it was her time to watch. She hadn't seen him this exposed since finding him but didn't get a chance to really
appreciate the view. He was lean and cut, and had some dusting of chestnut hair down his chest leading down below his waistband. She licked her lips but quickly turned around before he could catch her. To cool her thoughts, she jumped in to the lake with her dog. Â The water was cold but super refreshing. Soon Obi joined them with a splash. They playfully splashed around before he disappeared under the water. It had been awhile and she began to worry. Next thing she knew he appeared behind her scaring her.
âJesus you asshole!â she exclaimed while he laughed. She reached over and dunked him and laughed at his misfortune. He sputtered as he came up for air.
âYou're gonna pay for that.â he said with a devilish grin. He used the force to make a huge splash of water hit her from behind. The momentum pushed her right into him.
âNo fair! Youâre using the force again!,â she said mocking anger. All he could do is laugh like an idiot. Laying out on towels they enjoyed their small meal. She turned to him with a smile.
âAre you enjoying yourself?â
âYes I am,â he said and took a bite of his sandwich. âI donât think Iâve ever had this much fun.â
âOh yeah? Well I am glad you have. I figure you should enjoy yourself while you are here.â
âI really am. Thank you Vanessa.â he said with a smirk and moved a piece of her hair from her face.
They enjoyed the day swimming, joking around and just plain enjoying the atmosphere. The drive home was uneventful as both were pretty wiped out from their day. Getting home they showered and met on the porch for their nightly ritual of drinking tea and relaxing.
They joked and talked like any other evening. She let out a yawn as she was getting tired. Her and Obi stood up at the same time to wish each other goodnight. Something was different, he felt a ripple in the force. When he felt that he looked down to stare into her eyes and was soon entranced. She licked her lips and leaned up and feeling bold, she she softly pressed her lips to his own. It was soft at first and quickly became more passionate and heated. He ran his hands up her arms but a sudden reality hit him. No attachments. He gently pushed at her biceps as much as he regretted it. Sensing the disappointment that rolled off of her, he took a deep breath. He couldn't look at her and instead looked to the ground. He swallowed.
âI am sorry. I cant. Its forbidden.â he whispered.
She felt as if her heart would shatter and held back tears. Unsure of what to do she also looked at the floor trying her best to keep the tears from falling.
âIts fine I understand.â She took a breath âGoodnight.â She turned and left suddenly, walking to get to her room before the tears fell. He dint touch her and let her be. She couldn't believe she made a fool of herself. He was untouchable, a monk so to speak. But she grew to care for him deeply. He was kind, funny, courteous and a beautiful soul inside and out. She laid in her bed silently crying before she fell asleep.
When she left he felt so much guilt. He didn't mean to hurt her. Walking into the house he sat on the couch and thought over what happened. She has been nothing but kind to him, and took care of him. She brought out his playful side and gave him a sense of peace. The last 6 months had been some of the best of his life. He did feel something for her but his vows wouldn't allow it. He couldn't understand why something that felt so right could be so wrong. Dropping his face in his hands, he tried to calm himself. And felt himself so lost as he felt a few tears roll down.
