This is as much effort that I'm willing to put into this.
Somewhat of a fix-it with getting rid of the child bride LMFAO, but revamping it so Y!Tiki can still participate. And also a manifestation of how I think Libra/Virion/Lon'qu would be the most powerful if not slightly disastrous throuple (unfortunately no real interactions between them here, they're all too wrapped up in their own things!). And also a fuck you to amatonormativity.
Target audience: Literally just my sister and I think LMFAOOOOOOO

♡´・ᴗ・`♡▼・ᴥ・▼genre: smut, bullet point style, drabbles
ಠ_ಠwarning/content: eldest to youngest, unprotected(booooo), so much romance im a sucker, soft & rough sex, head(giving and receiving), dacryphilia, overstimulation, possessiveness, brat taming in the form of dumbification, strength kink, restraint, switching holes (LMAO?), forehead touches!!!!!!!! not proof read :(
⁂perm taglist: @stvrfir3 @tunaasan @marievllr-abg
MATURE UNDER CUT MDNI
彡★PARK SEONGHWA - lotus
he's a hopeless romantic, and it definitely shows through his favorite positions
he's seated on the edge of the bed, or couch, or chair, even seated on the floor-
and youre seated in his lap like it's your throne
your legs wrapped around his moving hips, arms around his neck and hands tangled up in his hair
it's his favorite position for many reasons
the angle of his hips which makes his cock tease the deepest parts of you
your heavy breaths falling right onto his lips, breathing the same air during such a passionate act
and the way he can see your eyes well up with pleasure with every little thrust until you come undone right infront of him
Seonghwa can see every little twitch of your face as he rests his forehead against yours, his hips had set an unrelenting slow and loving pace long ago and have yet to stop. His tip drags along your g-spot every time he pulls out, and you almost want to beg him to just stay buried deep because of the maddening slow building pleasure. Any attempt to speak on either of your parts only comes out as a puff of hot air into the others mouth. It isn't the first time you've done it in this position, but the intimacy of it completely blankets you every time. You can't feel anything other than each other, and it's pure euphoria.
彡★KIM HONGJOONG - cuddle fuck
it's not that it's his favorite persay, it's just the one that happens the most
people say this man hates affection, they couldn't be any more wrong
he loves to be close to you !
after a busy schedule and tiring day, all he wants to do is cuddle
but your body is so soft and warm pressed against his, he feels so safe and comfortable
he won't say anything at first, either because he's too embarrassed or too tired so it usually goes like this:
Hongjoong has his arms wrapped around you- one cradling you to his chest warmly as the other traces his racing thoughts on your lower back. One of your legs is hooked over his hip, the other tangled between his. You kiss over his tattoo with all of the care in the world and that's when the feeling in his lower belly stirs to life. As you go on about mundane things, like what you should cook the both of you for dinner, it only gets hotter and tighter. Your skin is searing against his in the most pleasant and simultaneously daunting ways. The way you bite your lip tells him you finally feel it, that hardness pressing against your thin house-shorts. You push aside the other topic at hand and move both of your shorts away, wordlessly slipping him inside of you. You're so close, you may as well be one soul. And that's just the way he likes it.
彡★JEONG YUNHO - v
yunho is TALL.
no matter what position you're in, innocent cuddling or sinful fucking or walking down the street-
he shadows over you like a demon
the softest demon ever but still
he's huge and it drives him over the edge when he can see and feel the difference compared to you
so when you've got your legs stretching up as far as they can go and they barely reach over his shoulders????
whew baby prepare your cervix to be bruised
It started as a simple mating press, Yunho' s cock begging him to just fill you as far as possible without breaking you. But when he sat up, your legs followed; no longer being pinned by his chest. You laid them flat against his sweaty chest and arched your back, breaking his mind in an overwhelming horniness as he felt your toes curl just on his shoulder blades when you came. Oh, he'll be damned if he stopped there. He went on for hours, he had never been so hard. He wanted to cum so badly, but at the same time, he never wanted to move away from the ethereal image of you below him like that. When he finally did (and hello wow that was so much cum it literally came splatting out between you) he made a mental note to most definitely get you worked up again tomorrow.
彡★KANG YEOSANG - mating press
this man's beauty and personality is so soft and silky
don't let that shit fool you breh
he is a beast in the bedroom, he goes feral when you're behind a locked door together
there's something about you that just makes him want to overtake your entire being and become one with you
something that makes him want you to break- break just for him
he loves every fiber of your being and he's possessive over you like no fucking other
because of his career, he's not allowed to show that publicly, and he more than makes up for his need to express his dominating feelings for you by-
well, by dominating you
Your thighs are crushed to your chest, feet dangling in the air and bouncing with every rough thrust of Yeosang 's skilled hips. If there was a time that this position was uncomfortable, that time is long gone. All of his deep, quick thrusts wipe away anything in your mind other than him, and the glazed over look in your eyes only makes him go harder. His eyes nearly roll into his skull every time he feels you clench around him, your cunt completely at his mercy. You're ripe for the picking. Laid out for him helplessly, stuck in position by his rough and loving hands on the back of your sore thighs. Completely weak beneath him as he fucks you like it's the last thing he'll ever do on this mortal earth, and you simply let him because you love him. And he absolutely revels in it.
彡★CHOI SAN - against the wall
"sannie bulked up after wooyoung chest bumped him across stage!!"
erm no
sannie bulked up when he saw you watching an against the wall video!!
his brain immediately fried at the idea of doing that to you and now here we are a few years later
he prides himself in how strong he's gotten, how muscular he is
it's an ego boost really, and a deserved one
he loves bending you into whichever position he wants to just because he can
but this will always be his personal favorite
San has his arms wrapped around the underside of your knees, pining them to the wall and effectively folding you in half while he demolishes your holes. All of his praise falling to deaf ears as your head spins with a dizzying pleasure. He lets your forehead fall on his, breathing in your fucked out groans as his thrusts slam your hips and lower back into the wall. You lost it and started cumming the second he man handled you and lifted you with his cock still inside, and now it's his turn for that blinding white pleasure as you grab his big, flexing biceps and drool as you clench around him.
彡★SONG MINGI - 69
song mingi sloppy toppy champion and i don't take criticism on this sorry
he enjoys eating pussy or sucking dick over sex most days, like his soul purpose is to make his significant other feel on cloud 9 (get it they're the 9 and he's the 6 haha okay-)
and when he's balls deep he can't help but go full sub mode and hump like a wild animal searching for primal release
so- head it is
but you want him to feel good too, obviously
and despite his reassurances that making you feel good in turn makes him feel good, you just can't help it
so, a mutual position is found: one were he gets to have his tongue on you, in you, all over you-
and you get to make him an even whinier mess than usual
It turns Mingi on so badly when he gets to taste you, you barely have to touch him. His tongue is deep inside you, hands kneading your ass as he makes a mess of his favorite meal. Hes so lost in the pleasure of giving that he doesn't even realize you've got his cock stuffed in your throat until he cums into the warmth of it. He's always a whiny mess between your legs, and this new position quickly becomes both of your favorites when you continue to tease him through and past his release, and he continues to slurp up the ever flowing arousal that comes from the pleasure of making him cum. It's a never ending cycle really, and neither of you dare complain.
彡★JUNG WOOYOUNG - spooning
now i would say reverse cowgirl because he's obviously an ass man- but that's his second choice
y'all seen that video of him getting all up on yunho on stage from behind ??
yeah that's why i chose this and because it's infecting my brain
something about it just makes him even more feral than usual
everything about it tbh-
let me just *licks pen*
His leg wrapped over your hip and around yours like an anaconda, using his leverage to spread your legs as you're both laid sideways, giving him all the access he could ever want. And boy does Wooyoung take advantage of it, holding you in place with his arms wrapped under your armpits and holding your shoulders tightly so you can't escape the burning heat of his body against yours while he fucks you to the next millennium. In your ass, it's slow and deep, a beautiful painful stretch. In your pussy, fast and shallow and hard, banging your g-spot until you sob. He can feel your ribs wracking with sobs of overwhelming pleasure, and he doesn't stop until you've made a mess of him just as he did you.
彡★CHOI JONGHO - prone bone
big cock!!!!!
there i said it, it had to be done
it took ages and ages to get used to his absolute girth
and even now that you're used to it it still stretches you out and shuts your brain off to put all of your willpower into your cunt so you don't break in half
and he can't help it as his mind begs him to take advantage of that fact when you're being a brat
he knows you turn into a cock whore the minute he stretches you out
and he plans to make use of that fact
Jongho is still so sweet and gentle when punishing you. He doesn't have to be rough, his veiny girth does the job naturally. Usually he'll spread you out nice and wide- not today. Not when you're a brat. He lays you face down and ties your legs together. He can barely shove his member between your pushed together thighs to get inside of you but when he does. It's like the tightest and warmest fleshlight in the world, and it's attached to the person he loves. He will make you forget your own name, just with his goliath friend and slow passionate thrusts.

I Don't Deserve You | Kang Hyewon
Tumblr media
1190 Words
***
University on a Saturday, it was supposed to be the fun day. Activities, football matches and going to the pub with mates for watch the games broadcasted on TV. However, not for you, not this week at least. You can't do anything because you injured your knee. All you can do today was just stay home and sit in bed for the whole day by yourself. 
It all happened because of an injury, you sprained your knee last week in a football game, damaging your ACL and ultimately causing you to miss the game today. The final game of the calendar year. You wanted to end your year on a high, but it looks like you were going to end the year on the bed, doing nothing.
With all finals being over and one more week on classes left, everyone on campus was enjoying themselves. Going to the pub, celebrating with mates, doing fun stuff with people they know and fraternities are advertising their fun parties they have this weekend. However, you can't do any of these because the doctor told you to avoid any form of activities that will put stress on your knee for at least a month, meaning your life was pretty much meaningless.
Despite this, your girlfriend of two years was being pretty supportive to you. Of course she was, she was part of the university cheerleading team so naturally she was going to be cheerful. She was always your cheerleader, cheering you on when you were on the pitch, going through every highs and lows with you, by your side and making every lows of life better for you. 
Kang Hyewon was really the perfect girl, not just for you but for the university as well. She was popular, pretty and also head of the cheerleading sorority. Every guy wanted to date her but there was only one lucky guy who can call himself her boyfriend and that guy was you. 
Even now, when you were out injured, Kang Hyewon told you that everything was going to be alright, making sure you feel better. She knows that there was only two loves in your life. Football and Kang Hyewon. However, despite Kang Hyewon thinking she has made you feel better about not being able to play the last game of the calendar year, it was still you having to stay home alone today because she had to go to the game with other cheerleaders to cheer on the university football team.
It was not a good thing being alone at this state, you started to think. Thinking about a lot of stuff. Thinking about what would happen in the game before moving on to thinking about deeper stuff. Starting off with thinking about what would happen if your knee never recovers or if the situation with your knee gets even worse, before finally thinking about your relationship with Kang Hyewon.
Kang Hyewon, like you said, was one of the most popular and prettiest girl in the campus. The head cheerleader status she got a few months ago only made her more popular and more wanted around the campus. 
With that you started thinking if you really deserved her?
You only started with her from a friends with benefits relationship when you both entered university, but slowly became in love with each other. However, the romance have been dying lately. The two of you have been feeling comfortable with each other, living together has seemed to kill the romance and you two have stopped going on romantic dates for a while now. 
Plus watching her simps around her and people trying to hit on her didn't help with this situation.
You thought about it long and hard, you really didn't deserve her. She deserved someone better, someone more romantic and someone who actually can give her the love that she deserves. What she doesn't deserve was someone like you, a guy who is nothing without football, a guy who isn't romantic at all. She deserves love and you just can't give her the love that she deserves.
As much as you loved her and wanted to be with her, you just know that you can't give her what she deserved, there are a lot of other guys out there in the university who are willing to give her what she deserved. All the guys who you have saw hit on her was right, she deserve someone better, someone who isn't you. 
As much as you hate to do this, you feel like something has to be done to rectify this situation. You needed to do something you didn't want to do.
Whilst you were deep in thought, deciding what you were going to do, the door open and your girlfriend Kang Hyewon walk through the door.
"Hey, I'm back. How's your day" Kang Hyewon asked as she walked through the door to see you sat on the sofa with the remote control in your hand and the TV on SkySports Main Event.
"So no change for you then" Kang Hyewon sat next to you as she took the remote control out of your hand.
You snapped back into life as Hyewon took the remote control out of your hand, you were so deep in thought that you didn't even saw her come sit next to you.
"How's your day been" Hyewon asked you again.
You just hugged her tightly which surprised Hyewon a little bit but she hugged you back not knowing what has gone through your mind.
"Hyewon, I don't deserve you" you said whilst hugging her tightly "I really don't"
Hyewon was surprised to hear what you just said. She didn't know what was going on, she has heard people tell her that she deserved better, but she never thought you would think that way as well.
"What are you saying" Hyewon said pulling out of the hug, surprised at what she just heard.
"You deserve better, not someone a weirdo like me who just sits around all day watching football" you responded.
"But I don't want better, I want you. I know people have been saying I can date better guys than you, but they don't give me what you give me. I feel safe around you. Sure, you do eye other girls up and prioritise football over me, but you're a good guy deep down" Hyewon responded.
"No I'm serious, you deserve to be in a relationship with someone who's more romantic than me" you stated, making your point very clear
At that moment, Hyewon kissed you on the lips.
"If I really think I deserved someone better, then I would have left you. We've been together two years already and even when we broke up a year ago, we got back together. Sometimes, love is not always about the romantic stuff, it's about being comfortable and feeling safe. You give me that sense of safety and comfort which is something that nobody else can give me" Hyewon said making you feel better.
The two of you shared another kiss, this time more passionate.
"You know, there is one romantic thing you are really good at, why don't we do that" Hyewon said as she broke the kiss looking deep into your eyes with lust.

THAT SONG.
Tumblr media
PART I
Han x reader. (s,f,a)
A chapter of On Tour.
Synopsis: Han forms a rock band with a help from you, his muse who is so cynical of love. (17,4k words)
Author's note: This is for my On Tour enthusiasts. Hope you like it x
Click here for That Song playlist.
It starts to annoy him how the vocalist keep messing up the chords. Instead of focus on playing his guitar and sing the lyrics right, he's busy making eyes with the girls standing in the front.
Han recognized one of them is you, he knows you because he shares a class with you and your writing recently won the university literary contest. But why would a beautiful and smart girl like you making the eyes with such a lousy, ego bigger than his actual skill guy?
Sure, the vocalist has the looks but he wouldn't look that good if he's playing the music himself. He missed the chords and been singing off key on the last two songs, no one noticed but Han.
Han doesn't even know why he agreed to help to fill the bass tonight but at least he'll get free beers tonight as an exchange. He's ordering his second bottle even though his first one is halfway finished. He turns to the side and finds you making your way toward him.
Han knows that it's good to be true if you're coming for him but he turns to the other side finding the incompetent vocalist gesturing you to come up to him. It's so rare for him to intervene with someone's business but Han really needs to stop you from making the wrong choices.
Next thing he knows, he outstretched his hand to stop you from going to the lousy guy, "Wait a minute!"
Your forehead wrinkles in confusion and he completely understands why.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he says with a thin smile and quick comes up with an explanation, "it's obvious that he likes to sleep with a lot of girls and you're probably going to wake up with a terrible rash."
You tilt your head and thinly smile at him, "Thanks for the tip."
Han quietly let out a breath of relief, "well, you're a nice girl. You don't want to be with that kind of guy."
You purse your lips then takes a sip, "that's where you're wrong. I'm not a nice girl."
You take a another sip of beer before talking again, "and you're cockblocking your friend right now," you tell him, pointing to the talentless vocalist at the end of the bar counter.
"Friend?" Han asks, offended that you think he's friends with that rockstar wannabe.
"He's not my friend. He's a dick actually and I'm just filling for my friend," he shortly explains and now that he gets rid of Bon Jovi look alike, he can smile again.
You snicker and put your bottled beer down, "You're cute," you tell him.
That gets him flustered, no girl ever told him cute before.
"But you reek of romance and good intentions," you continue.
That gets him baffled because isn't that what girls are looking for?
"As opposed to what..." he leers over to the lousy vocalist.
"He's handsome and emotionally unavailable," you fill his blanks and start walking away from him.
Han can't believe he's lost to the lousy vocalist. As his final effort, he grabs you by your elbow to stop you from going.
"Look, I'm not looking for a nice guy. I don't do boyfriends, I don't date," you bluntly tell him.
"All I hear is don't, don't and... don't," he says in a baffling tone.
"Don't waste my time," you sharply add.
Han is aware that he's overstepping and slowly lets go of you, you're an adult anyway, you can do whatever you want and that includes doing things he doesn't want you to do.
"See you in class then," he says as he returns to his beer.
You turn around on your feet, "we share a class?"
"Creative writing," he replies without looking at you.
"What's your name again?" You ask, even though you haven't asked before.
He looks at you and answers, "Han."
You take that information with a nod then clink your bottle with him, "see you in class, Han!"
Then off you go, doing the things he doesn't want you to do and making it clear to him that a guy like him doesn't stand a chance with a girl like you. - It's inevitable seeing you in campus, especially in the class you share together.
Since you knew his name, you'd wave your hand at the sight of him but it's probably some sort of joke to you to remind him how he flirted with you that night and you rejected him right away.
Han is relentless to change your mind because it annoys him so much that you would rather flirt with someone who doesn't even have an ounce of your worth.
A few weeks later at the same bar, he approaches you after he sees you send a guy away from disagreeing with you on an argument.
"Guess you scare him off," he comments as he takes the seat of the expelled guy.
You scoff in disbelief at him then sips your beer.
"Do you want to get out of here?" He offers, shamelessly taking another shot with you.
You laugh and wipe your upper lip with your thumb, "Didn't I made it pretty clear that I have no interests on going out with you?"
Han calmly looks at you and smiles, "you and I are going to be friends," he casually remarks.
"But I don't want to be friends with you," you shortly reply, not hesitating to reject him again.
Well, Han can only take two rejection in a span of two months, he'll try again a few weeks... or maybe this is a sign for him to give up and raise the white flag. He brings his beer with him and finds somewhere else where he can quietly drinks his beer. He stops caring about your presence the more intoxicated he gets.
To his short luck, Han gets lightheaded and since he's coming to the bar alone with no friend who can assist him home, he stops drinking. He exits the bar and realizes how late it is from how crowded that he has to go through sea of people to find the door.
To sober up a little, he stands outside with the brick wall supporting him, his head is clouded with smoke coming from a group of people smoking next to him. He pulls out his phone to order a taxi when he hears your voice. His head snaps to the door of bar and sees you drunkenly walking to the side of the road, hailing your hand for a taxi.
He's about to help you getting one when a man gets to you first, holding you from behind and opens the taxi door for you.
"I want to go home," you slur your words at him.
He forces you to get inside the taxi, "we're going home, baby."
You refuse to get in and jump out of the taxi, "not with you," you tell him.
"My apartment is close so you're coming with me," he insists, pushing you back into the backseat of the taxi.
You push him away when he's about to get in after you, "No, I don't want to go home with you!"
It starts to cause a scene outside the bar and it doesn't take a genius to know that this guy is going to take advantage of you.
Han shoves his phone into the back pocket of his jeans and comes to take you away from him.
"She said she doesn't want to go with you," Han tells him right at his face, holding you steady with his hands on your shoulders.
"Who the fuck are you?" The man curses at him.
"I'm her friend!" He shortly replies despite he knows he got rejected to be your friend a few hours ago.
The man grabs you back from him and forces you to enter the taxi, "stay the fuck out of my business!"
Han shoves him back and he pulls you along with him as he's staggering to the back, sending you stumbling down the pavement.
"Ouch!" You wince in pain.
Han hurriedly helps you getting up and helps you get into the taxi.
"Stay away from you, you fucking prick!" Han warns him before getting into the taxi.
You whine in pain next to him, holding your scraped knee with your hand and lolling your head to the side, eventually resting your head on his shoulder.
"Where do you live?" Han asks, feeling bad if he has to grope you around to find for your ID or phone.
"I don't want to go home," you mumble to him.
You nuzzle your head into his neck and mumble again, "let come home with you."
Han has no other option but to take you to his messy apartment. Thankfully, you're too intoxicated to notice the piling dirty laundry or the pizza box he hasn't thrown out since last night. You run to the bathroom the second he unlocked the door and he uses the opportunity to tidy up his place, or more like, hiding the mess out of the plain sight.
He quickly grabs a clean towel from the dryer then knock on the bathroom door to give it to you. He hears the flushing sound then you open the door not long after.
"A clean towel," he offers.
You take it from him through the crack of the door and follow him outside.
"Can I borrow your clothes?" You suddenly ask.
It's like you speak a different language that he takes a moment for him to process such simple words, "my clothes?"
You meekly show him your clothes damp with drops of water, "I can't sleep in this."
"Clothes," he says with a blank expression and it takes him another moment to finally get to his closet, finding any proper clothes for you to wear.
He picks the most decent piece of clothing he has and he remembers his parents gifted him a pajama set, it's the perfect time to put it to use.
"Here," he accidentally startles you as you scan his records collection.
You take the folded clothes from him and not hesitate to take your clothes off on the spot. Han immediately turns his back at you to give you privacy even though he can clearly see you changing clothes from the reflection of the TV screen.
"Can I have a glass of water?" You ask.
"Sure," he dashes to the kitchenette and pours a glass of water which reminds him to grab the first-aid kit from the drawer.
"Thank you," you mutter as you take the glass of water from him.
"Can you please sit down?" He kindly asks.
The options are the bed or the worn-out couch filled with his books. You walk over to the bed and sits at the end of it. He squats down on the floor and looks up at you, "Do you mind if I take a look at your knee?"
You shake your head while holding the glass of water with both hands on your lap. He rolls up the obviously a size too big pajama pants and takes a closer look at your scraped knee. It doesn't look bad once he cleaned.
It's probably the alcohol that hasn't fully left your systems yet that makes you numb to the stings of alcohol pads make contact with your wounded knee. Next, Han dabs antibiotic ointment on the wound with a cotton bud and apply a bandage to finish.
"Thank you," you mutter again.
Wow! It's the first time he heard so many thank you in one night and it's coming from the person he didn't expect to hear it from.
"You can rest now," he says, gesturing you to sleep on the bed.
"And where are you going to sleep?" You ask.
"I can sleep..." his eyes drift to the messy couch and silently sigh, "I can sleep anywhere."
"Please, share the bed with me," you plead with eyes that shine for him as he stands towering you.
"Okay," he agrees but he promised himself to leave the bed once you're asleep.
The night is getting late and he can't lie that he needs to lie down after an eventful night. He is late to claim his side of the bed as you already lie there, getting yourself under the cover.
"What are you listening to?" You ask, looking at the record player on the bedside table.
Han puts it there because he likes to lay on the bed and stares at the ceiling while listening to music. Unfortunately, he happens to forget what record he was playing the last time. He peers over to your side of the bed, one glance at the record and he knows what it is.
"Uhm... Sonic Youth," he answers.
You turn the record player on and slowly put the needle on it, music starts to fill the space with riffs of one of his favorite songs.
"Spinning dreams with angel wings. Torn blue jeans and a foolish grin," Kim Gordon opens the song with her sleepy, crooning voice.
You get comfortable on the bed and turn to the side, seeing him still standing at the side of the bed.
"Come, lay down with me," you say, patting the space next to you.
It's so stupid of him that he forgot to take off his jacket, he gets ride of it before climbing onto the bed and awkwardly slouches down the bed.
He knows you're looking at him as Kim Gordon repeatedly singing, "Star power, star power, star power..."
You take a deep breathe and put a hand under your head, "Maybe I really should stop dating handsome, emotionally unavailable men," you draw conclusions out of nowhere.
Han only nods in agreement even though he can't focus knowing that he's under the same cover with you.
"Maybe we should go on a date," you come with another shocking statement.
This time, he doesn't nod even though he wanted to.
You softly sigh again and gets up from the bed to lean close to his side, "I think you'll be good to me."
He dares himself to look at you and catches you softly smiling at him. Your eyes locked in a gaze that feels more intimate than a kiss.
You slightly tilt your head to the side then press a gentle kiss on his cheek, "Goodnight!"
You settle back on the bed and close your eyes with a smile that slowly fades from your face as you slowly drift to sleep.
Han reaches for his heating cheek and touches the searing kiss you left on it, foolishly holding the back of his hand to it like it would help him reeling from the kiss. However, he can replay the moment in his head and close his eyes to make it vivid.
The song that is still playing becomes distant but he can faintly hears Kim Gordon softly sings, "Close my eyes and think of you. Everything turns black to blue." - It's like someone has just pulled him out of the water, Han wakes up from his sleep gasping for air. He expects to see it's still night and you're still on the bed sleeping next to him. Panic, he gets up at once and looks around his studio apartment with sunlight filling and brightens the place.
"Morning," you greet from the couch with a bowl on one hand.
The mess of your hair looking like a halo on the top of your head and you warmly smile as your eyes locked in a gaze with him, emitting the same warmth of the morning sun at him.
"I hope you don't mind I'm eating your cereal," you say.
Disoriented, he scratches the back of his head and unsure what to do first because he's usually will fall back to sleep, especially when he has no morning class like today.
"I–I'll just..." he barely finishes his sentence and breaks into a run to the bathroom.
Last night, he made a plan to impress you. He planned on getting up early so he can buy some nice breakfast to eat together with you. He plans on having some fresh baked goods and hot coffee with you, not his cereal and milk from his empty fridge.
"Oh, why did I fall asleep?" He asks himself and reaches for his toothbrush to, at least, make himself look presentable in front of you.
He changes into a clean t-shirt he picked up from the washing machine and walks to the kitchenette, "Coffee?" He feels stupid for asking when he can clearly you have put the coffee pot on.
"Yes, please?" You sweetly answer to him.
He fills two mugs with steaming hot coffee and brings them to the couch, he wince seeing the cluttering mess on his table that he has to put some stuff to the side to make room for the mugs of coffee.
You're busy chewing on your cereal to notice it and he peers over to see you're reading his notebook.
"Oh—" he stops himself from snatching it away from you.
You notice that he's looking at it and quickly flip shut, then put it one the top of stack, "I'm sorry but it's laying around on the table so... I didn't mean to read your journal," you apologize.
He bites his lower lip, not expecting you to read his journal filled with his writings in there. It's worse than letting you walk around his messy apartment but he can't blame you when he should have kept it somewhere safe.
"I'm sorry," you apologize again.
"It's okay," he says with a smile to convince you that it's okay for you to read the song lyrics he wrote about personal things.
"How come you never submitted your works for the literary contest?"
Han lifts his mug and watches the curls of steam from his coffee, "I don't I can compete with you."
You put your legs up and hug them in front of you, "but your writing is beautiful."
"They're not... they're lyrics," he says.
"Oh?" You lowly gasp, "so you write songs?"
"Kind of," he answers and carefully sips his coffee.
"Have you performed any of these songs?"
Han shakes his head to strongly deny, "I like writing them but not performing them."
"Why not?"
"Because I..." his word trails off once he realizes that you're getting too personal with him but it's too late to stop now.
"I don't think they're good," he concludes.
You take your mug of coffee and hold it with both hands, "Well, I never thought any of my writings are good," you share.
"But they are good," Han points out the obvious since your writings always won the literary contest for two years in a row.
"So you read them," you say with a satisfied smile.
Again, he's too late to back out now, "who doesn't?"
You take a small sip of your coffee then ask, "What do you think?"
His mug stops midair as he's about to sip his coffee, "they're good, great..."
The sound of the phone ringing from somewhere across the room interrupts the talk, after a few seconds you recognize that it's yours and it's ringing inside your purse.
"I'm sorry," you excuse yourself to get it.
Han silently drinks his coffee and catches glimpes of your conversation on the phone, it's safe to say that you need to go after hanging up the call.
"Sorry, but I have to go," you say just as he expected.
Han tidies up the place as much as he can while you're changing your clothes in the bathroom, your phone rings again as he puts records piling on his bedside table back to the shelf. He didn't mean to look but your phone is right there, lying on the bed and he can see the caller.
Alex, it's a very masculine sounded name. He doesn't want to assume anything and stops thinking about it as he hears the bathroom door swings open.
"Thank you for letting me crashing in your place," you return the clothes your borrowed from him.
"No problem at all," he sheepishly says.
You check your phone and shove it inside your purse after, "Thank you for this as well," you show him your bandaged knee at him.
"It's nothing really," he says.
It's been a long time that Han has someone over his place, especially of the opposite sex. He's been out of the dating pool for much longer than that, he doesn't know the code anymore, what he should do next?
He decides to keep himself busy as you collect your things from around the room. Han is putting the dirty dishes on the sink when you speak to him from the foyer.
"I'm free this Friday."
He turns around to see you standing with one hand against the wall and the other is strapping your shoes in place, "huh?"
"I'm free this Friday," you repeated.
He's not deaf but what he doesn't get is the meaning of those words. Does it mean you want him to take you on a date? Or you set the date for both of you? Or you want to casually hang out with him? Or you need his help again at the bar?
In other words, he's stupid when it comes to social cues.
"You want me to... uh—"
"Friday at eight?" You say.
Oh, okay, that means you want to go on a date. He stifles a nod, "sure, yeah."
"Okay," you smile seeing him being awkward.
Han may have wanted to take you on a date but you're so smart, so composed, so confident, you're everything he's not and it's impossible for him not to feel the slightest bit intimidated. He doesn't know how to impress you, he only has himself and it's not enough.
"Can you stay sober until then?" He blurts out.
You crack a crisp laugh that echoes in his studio apartment, "I'll try," you vaguely answer.
The initial thought is he wants you to stay away from drinking except when he's there with you but you took it that he was being playful with you. Well, either way, he's glad that he can make you laugh.
"I'll see you again," you say with a bright smile.
"See you again," He says back.
And Han hangs on to those words, to the promise that he can see your smile again.
-
It's eight minutes past 8 pm on Friday night.
It's past the appointed time for the date but there no sight of you yet. A few minutes shouldn't be considered late, you must be on the way here and things happen, you may forget something after getting out of the door or traffic or... there's just so many reasons why you—
Han feels a tap on his shoulder which makes him turns on his feet.
"Hey, have you been waiting long?"
He is not ready to see you, not when he's almost think that you'll ditch both him and the date. But here you are, looking at him with a smile that gradually fades into a confused one.
"Are you okay?"
He snaps himself out of it and clears his throat, "No, I'm just—" he forgot the question you asked him and try again, "I mean I'm okay."
You look up at the sign of the place he takes you for the date, "I've never been here," you comment.
Doesn't know what to do with his hands, he shoves them into the pockets of his jacket.
"Me too," he casually says.
"Huh?" You blink your eyes at him, confounded.
-
Consider both of you lucky that there's still one more table available, it's Friday night so it's no surprise that it's crowded with people. Upbeat music is playing in the big hall filled with rows of ping-pong tables mixed with the sounds of the ping-pong balls hits either the players' paddle or the tables.
You shake the jacket off your shoulder once you get to the assigned table, "I don't know how to play table tennis," you admit right away to prepare him that an accident or two is imminent.
"Me too," he innocently answers from the end of the table as he takes a paddle.
That explains why he never been here but still, why would he takes you here if he can't play?
"You're not serious, right?" You place your jacket on the empty bench on the side of the table.
"I'm serious," he says as he takes his jacket off.
You burst into laughter but he's just so clueless on why you're laughing.
"Most men would use this chance to show off that they're good at something but you..." you shrug and choose a paddle to use.
Han takes a ball from a box and bounces it on the table, "Well... I am not most men," he coyly says.
Not going to lie, that's so attractive of him, especially with strands of his curly hair falling over his face.
"Okay," you nod in acknowledgment.
You take your position on your side of the table, warming up your hands by opening and closing your hands before wrapping your hand around the handle of the paddle.
"Your serve," you give him the permission to start the game.
Han also takes his stance and throws the ball straight upward, he supposedly hits the ball when it's still hung in the air with the paddle but instead of that, his paddle flung across the table and caught by the net.
There's a dead air hanging between you and him as you both stare at his paddle stranded in the middle of the table. You look away to not embarrassed him more and see everyone is having a bottle of beer on their table.
You turn to look at him and ask, "beer?"
"Yep!" He shortly replies.
After two bottles of beers drained and a lot more failed attempts at serving the balls, you get the hang of it even though it's not to the level of what a proper ping-pong should be played.
"Another round?" You ask.
He doesn't wait but calls to order more drinks, "More beers, please!"
At the second round, your neck is moist with sweat and you can feel beads of sweat forming on your back, you plop down on the bench in exhaustion. Han gulps his bottle of water next to you, "another round?"
"I'm on a roll, sure!" You eagerly accept the offer.
"Loser have to pay for dinner?" He dares you with a lopsided grin.
It's a fair game since you're both terrible at it, you have nothing to lose except for your self-esteem. You offer your hand for a handshake at him, "deal!'
He takes your hand and firmly shakes it, "deal!"
The game is getting intense, you have your hair tied in a messy ponytail while Han has the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbow. Under the fluorescent lights you can see the evident veins coiling his arms, got you distracted more than once.
It's a tie, there's only one point needed to determine the winner. It's his serve so you prepare yourself to receive it even though your hand starts shaking.
"Don't go crying when you're lost," he teases you, bouncing the ball against the table with his hand.
"No problem. I look prettier when I cry," you shot back at him with a nonchalant shrug and a smile.
Han catches you off guard and shot a topspin serve. Fortunately, you reflex is still good despite your body is close to giving up, you shoot the ball back to him as hard as you can. He's heading to the right side to get it but too late to catch the ball right on time, it goes past him, bouncing to the wall on the back.
"Yes!" You jump on your feet to celebrate.
While Han just stands there and gives you an applause with a defeated look on his face.
"I WANT BURGERS!" You enthusiastically shout at him loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Okay, okay," he quickly responds and gestures you to calm down.
Since he's the one paying for dinner, you feel bad to order a lot of food so you take him for coffee and dessert after as a way to pay back for dinner, also because you're still hungry.
He lifts his cup of iced americano to make a toast, "To celebrate that we're no longer beginners on table tennis!"
Your hands are shaking when you lift your cup of cappuccino and he notices too, sending you both into laughters. You use both hands to lift it and carefully clink your drinks together to not slosh the content, "that was a good game," you comment.
"It was!" He agrees and drinks his coffee with a straw.
You share two slices of cakes together, he chose a cheesecake while yours is tiramisu, digging at it with forks and eating it between talks.
"Are you working on a writing at the moment?" He asks.
You wash down the spoonful of cake with coffee before answering,
"Kind of..." you vaguely answer.
"Is it for the upcoming literary contest?" He asks.
"I'm working on a lot of things at once," you share with a dry laugh.
Han nods and shoves a piece of cake into his small mouth. His cheeks are round and full when he's eating, you find them really adorable.
He catches you watching him eat and you hurriedly look away, "so..."
You remember the unanswered question on the last conversation you had with him at his place, you've been wondering what his true answer is.
"What do you think of my writings?"
"They're great. I like your choice of metaphors and yeah, they're great," he answers with mouth stuffed with food.
You sense that there's more than just great. You slightly tilt your head to the side and look at him, "But...?"
He stops chewing as you ask him that like he got caught lying. Maybe he is lying but with a good intention.
"You can be honest with me," you assure him while cutting a small piece of the cheesecake.
He sips his coffee to empty his mouth from food and properly answers to you, "There's nothing wrong with your writings," he begins.
He sits up straighter and looks at you, "it's just that... I get this impression that you're a bit... cynical?"
You lowly laugh and say, "wrong!"
You chew on the cake and stack your hands together on the table, "Not a little. I am cynical," you correct him.
Han licks his lips and presses them together into a thin line, perhaps feeling bad for analyzing your personality through your writings.
That only proves that he's not only reading for the sake of entertainment but he truly reads things between the lines. In that moment, you feel so bare and vulnerable in front of him.
"I witnessed two people falling out of love, breaking and tear each other apart until there's nothing left of them," you candidly share and put your hand around the coffee cup to absorb the warmth.
"Why would I want the same? I've seen enough for like... the last fifteen years of my existence so no, thank you, not interested," You conclude with a sad smile.
Han meekly nods as he sips the last of his coffee in silence. It's unclear why you decide to share personal things with him but deep down you know it's because he's not going to laugh at your pain.
-
With no sight of stars and the moon in the night sky, it only means that there are big dark clouds and it's going to rain soon. Han insists on walking you to your apartment even though he has to walk back to the bus stop to go home.
Notice that you're only a block away, you don't want this night to end with the tragic story you shared about your parent's divorce.
"I had a fun date," you comment.
Han smiles and he has the kind of smile that shines from the inside, there's nothing fake about it.
"It was a fun date," he says.
"I never had a date this nice before," you add to show him that you're not being phony.
"Me too," he responds.
He said those two words three times so far and you begin to wonder if you're actually suck at dates. You always skip this part and go straight to the sexual stuff, maybe that's why.
Once you both arrive at the entrance of your apartment building, you turn around and without thinking you ask, "Want to go upstairs?"
With another man, you wouldn't fuss much whether they want to come with you or not but with him, you have this force inside you to not screw this up. You look at him and can't tell if he's nervous, or surprised, or horrified. He's just standing with his hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets even though the weather is pleasant.
"We don't have to do anything," you quickly mutter and immediately regret it because what if he wants to do something?
As always, honesty is the best policy. Well, that depends on how embarrassing the truth is. This one is still bearable, so you say, "I still want to talk to you."
The streetlight shines down on him, filling his brown eyes with dark glints and enthralling you to stare.
He nods and follows you inside. You feel awkward leading him to your floor, climbing the flight of stairs in silence but the echoes of your footsteps on the steps.
"Here I am," you stop in front of the door to your unit.
You rummage inside your purse for your key and push the door once you unlock it. The second you hear the song playing inside, you hurriedly close it again.
"What?" He asks you in a mix of panic and curiosity.
"Alex is listening to Sza," you answer.
"Alex?"
You forget that he doesn't know the context, you lock the door again and stand blocking him as if he would dare to barge inside.
"Alex is my roommate and she puts on Sza when she's having a guy over as some sort of code," you concisely explain.
"Ah..." he sighs in relief.
Is he relieved because he doesn't have to come inside or relieved because he doesn't want to talk to you? Is he— you never let your negative thoughts win so you find the alternative.
"How about your place?" You ask with a sly smile.
He considers it for a moment then says, "We should run then."
"Run? Why?"
"The last bus is in fifteen minutes," he simply answers.
"Oh?"
-
The two of you are drenched from running from the bus stop to his apartment in the rain, he lets you use the bathroom first to change while he prepares clothes you can borrow from him.
Han puts it on the end of the bed and you can comfortably change as he takes his turn to use the bathroom. You seem to have found comfort in his apartment which is a lot tidier after he realizes that someone could visit him uninvited.
Candidly speaking, the only person he thinks would come visit him is you.
You pull out a record from the shelf and put it on the record player, the music drowning out the sound of raindrops pattering against the window glass. As if it's your own bed, you sit with your back resting against the headboard, covering your legs with the duvet.
"Why are you standing there?" You ask him.
He towels dry his hair quickly before doing what you ordered him, sitting next to you on the bed.
"It's not like we haven't shared a bed before," you add and get comfortable by putting a pillow behind your back.
Whether it's the proximity or because he has run through the rain that makes him feel snug and warm all of a sudden, the raindrops pattering against the window supports this comforting atmosphere.
"How long have you been collecting?" You gesture to his shelf full of records.
It must be a headache to find a certain record because he doesn't organize them but you refrain from telling him.
"Some are my father's, I brought them with me when I moved out of the house and I started collecting two years ago," his fingers are playing with the lint on his sweatpants as he's speaking.
"You own some rare ones?" You ask in a curiosity.
"I have The Beatles White Album with printing number 0000523," he answers with a proud smile.
"Wow!" You exclaim in awe, you're familiar with the knowledge that the value of the album can go up significantly if it has a low printing number and he owns one.
"Just know that if I lost it, I'd know that you did it," he jokes.
"Dang! I was planning the whole robbery thing in my head," you joke back.
The rain has turned into drizzle and it gets quiet in the room, but the kind that makes him not feel pressured to fill it, a comfortable kind.
"What's your favorite song?" You ask out of the blue.
He hisses because it's like you're asking who is his favorite child. Not that he has any but he knows the dilemma.
"Don't think!" You tell him.
"Just one that pops on the top of your head," you offer an easy way to pick one.
There's this one song that automatically plays inside his head when he looks at you. It's one that he's unconsciously humming when he's in the shower, tying his shoes, or pouring himself a cup of coffee in the morning.
Not sure if you can catch the reference, he calmly answers, "Lovely Day by Bill Withers."
You nod in acknowledgment and smile, "That's a nice one!"
He turns to look at you, "and you?"
"Off You by The Breeders," you shortly reply as if you have waited a long time for this question.
Except that Han never heard of the song or the band. He feels bad for not knowing and you catch on it right away.
"You never heard of it?"
Han sheepishly shakes his head.
"You're lucky that I still have my Spotify premium," you playfully say and pick up your phone to play the song for him.
You set the volume to the highest setting then put your phone between you and him on the bed, listening to the intro of the song of low, minimal bass and guitar. The song somehow fits the moment, the singer sings like she's telling a story or a poem.
"I am the autumn in the scarlet. I am the make-up on your eyes."
That's such interesting lyrics and Han intently keeps listening to know why this is your favorite song. One thing he knows is this is one of the songs he can listen to while lying and staring at the ceiling.
"I've never seen a starlet or a riot or the violence of you."
He hears you sigh next to him and he looks to the side to see that you're crying, he knows it for sure as the tears on your cheeks reflect the lights at him. He leans and checks to see if you're okay, he puts your hair away and then tucks it behind your ear.
"Are you okay?"
You look at him with your eyes glassy and filled with sadness, "I don't want to get hurt," you croak
It must be scary for you to open up to someone when you've seen the worst thing love can do to a person. He understands the fear well because he has the same heart that lies and beats inside his chest.
It's vulnerable yeah but we are never fully broken to the point that we're irreparable.
However, Han doesn't intend to break it, he wants to embrace it, nurture it, and protect it with all of his might.
He cups your jaw with his thumb and gently wipes your wet cheek, "I'm not going to hurt you," he says with a soft smile.
More tears roll down your cheeks as you close your eyes, it's a heartbreaking sight to see.
To prove his words, he holds your face and leans in to kiss you, pouring all of his heart's content that strangely only expands in size the longer he kisses you.
Han lets go of the kiss yet holds a tender gaze with you, "I'm not going to hurt you," he reassures.
You hold the hand holding your face and softly smile at him, a smile that tells him that you've decided to trust his words.
For that, Han slowly sails into your heart and strands himself on the island inside your chest.
You rest your head on his shoulder as he puts his arm around your shoulder, welcoming you into his warm embrace. Both of you stay like that while listening to the rest of the song which encased you both in a bittersweet moment.
"I land to sail... Island sail. Yeah, we're movin'... Yeah, we're movin'..."
-
This is what he means when he says Lovely Day automatically plays in the back of his head when he looks at you.
Han has been watching you sleep for a few minutes now, leaning against the desk with arms crossed in his chest and he can vividly hear Bill Withers singing inside his head.
"Just one look at you and I know it's gonna be a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day."
You're pretty when you cry but even prettier when you sleep with a hand under your head, so still and so quiet, looking like an angel lost in her dream.
"Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day," the song is playing in his head on a loop.
The sun is rising and he doesn't want you to wake up yet for he wants to stare at your face longer. The sight of the baked goods he bought from the bakery across the street is disagreeing with him, it was still hot when he bought it and it's more likely to get cold if you don't wake up soon.
Then again, how can he disrupt an angel who's peacefully sleeping and away from the harm of the world?
Well, the sound of your phone ringing can.
A crease forms between your eyebrows as you force yourself awake from slumber. The song playing in his head abruptly stops and it reminds him to stop watching you. Han gets away from the bed and pretends to be busy in the kitchenette. In his peripheral, he can see your hand groping around the bedside table for your phone and check it.
"Morning!" You sleepily greet from the bed.
He plays it cool and turns to see you, "Morning!" He says back.
"Coffee?" He asks with a clean mug in his hand.
"Yes, please?" You say with a delicate smile that soothes him like a morning dew.
"Can I stay on the bed?" You ask with a shy laugh.
"Yeah, sure," he replies, looking at you wrapped in a blanket.
Han brings your mug of coffee first and makes another trip to bring his and the bag of bakery on the other hand.
"What do we have?" You're eyeing the bag, not daring to look into it yourself.
"Breakfast," he casually says and opens it for you, the buttery smell of freshly baked goods wafting around the room.
You start with a sip of coffee then dig inside the paper bag to grab a piece, tearing at it and eating it piece by piece.
You get interrupted by your phone dings with a new message.
"Your roommate?" He wildly guesses.
"Yeah, she wants me to come home quick," you answer, "she needs the intervention."
"Huh?"
"That means she doesn't like the guy she's having over in our place and wants me to intervene, you know, an excuse to get him out of the house," you explain then lick the powdered sugar on your finger.
"I see," he says even though he wants you to stay a little longer.
Just like you heard his thought, you quickly add, "Not that I don't want to stay. She did it for me like two months ago so I kind of owe her one."
He sips his coffee and assures you, "It's alright."
You rummage inside the paper bag to get another piece and without looking at him, you ask, "I have something to ask you."
He suddenly turns rigid at the men of something to ask because it sounds intriguing, scary, and exciting at the same time.
"Yes," he grips the handle of the mug a little too hard.
You bite into the bread with a custard filling and gets on your upper lip. In reflex, he wipes it for you with his thumb and you giggle once you notice the mess around your mouth.
"And the question?" He asks, genuinely curious about what you're about to ask him before the custard gets in the way.
"Oh, yeah, uhm..." you drink your coffee and hold it with both hands on your lap, "Is it too early if I ask you on a second date now?"
That, he didn't expect to hear at all but it makes him feel the same way, intrigued, scared, and excited, it's a mixed feelings.
"No," he honestly answers with a shy smile. He's never been with a girl who's this bold and so upfront like you, he likes it though, it makes things easier for him.
"How about tonight?" You ask with hopeful eyes and even a hopeful smile.
When you asked if it's too early he didn't know it would be this early, the earliest he could think of is next Friday.
"To–tonight?" He stammers.
You tilt your head to the side and hold your mug close to your lips, "No?"
"No," he responds without thinking.
He immediately realizes you might have thought he answered out of pressure, "I would love to!"
A smile rises on your face as you bite into your bread again, "okay," you say.
Han makes the bed and then gets himself another cup of coffee while you're changing in the bathroom. He's already planning on going back to sleep after you leave.
Your phone rings again at the same time you step out of the bathroom, "Alex! Oh, my God!" You groan and accept the call.
"I'm coming!" You briefly speak into the phone then hang up.
You shove your things into your purse and put on your jacket, looking at him to say, "I'll text you about the date."
He nods and puts his coffee mug down to send you off, watching as you bend down to put on your shoes with your hair falling around your face like a waterfall.
You gasp as you stand right in front of him, "See you later?"
"See you later," he repeated, his voice tinted with excitement and intrigue but not scared.
He should have known that you're subtly hinting at a kiss as you look at him with a sweet smile on your face. This is why learning social cues is important, he missed a lot of things because of—
The next thing he knows, your lips are on his lips and your hand is fisting the front of his t-shirt, clutching at it as you brush your soft lips over his. You taste as sweet, as smooth as the custard cream you were eating earlier, he just can't enough.
Bill Withers' voice starts to fill his head again as you pull away from the kiss with a smile on your parted mouth.
"Okay, then," you hurriedly let go of his t-shirt and shyly fix your hair, "bye!"
The song keeps playing even after you leave and close the door behind you, he can hear Bill Withers singing the part where he holds the note for 18 seconds, endlessly playing in the back of his mind.
"Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day...."
-
Han doesn't want to be late so he leaves early but when he gets to the appointed place that is a museum, he sees the sign that says closed. Is he late or come to the wrong place? He checks the text you sent him and he's right, it's the only museum with this name.
He starts pacing and thinking of calling you, that way you don't have to bother coming here.
"You're early!" You say as you come from the other direction.
"I was about to call you," he blurts out.
You sense the panic in his voice and ask, "Why? What's wrong?"
He shows you the closed sign hanging on the glass door of the museum entrance, "it's closed."
Instead of disappointed, you break a laugh and gently grab his elbow, "it's closed because of the event we're going to attend," you explain, then link your arm with his to walk towards the entrance.
Despite the closed sign, the entrance is not locked but security is stopping both of you at the end of the hallway. You pull something out of your purse and show it to them, tickets.
They let you both walk through the scanner and enter the main hall of the museum, they keep the lights low but he can see people gathering around the small stage that is set between two large marble statues with a big painting decorated on the wall on the back.
"What is this?" He asks in pure curiosity.
You take two cups of beer provided for guests and hand one to him, "It's an exclusive music session, only fifty people are invited to this," you keep your voice low to avoid the chat echoing in the vast hall.
"How did you get the tickets?" He asks along with a sip of his beer.
"From a friend of a friend," you vaguely answer.
That's enough details, he's sure that someone like you has contact here and there. He shouldn't be surprised, he sips his beer and takes a spot on the back row of people getting ready to watch with the intro starts playing from the set.
"Is it a band I know?" He asks.
You scrunch your nose at him, "not sure."
The intro is building up and getting louder, the crowd welcoming the band with a wave of applause and patiently waiting as they get ready with their instruments. There are three of them, the vocalist takes center stage with a guitar slung across his chest, the one who greets the crowd is taking the left side with his keyboard and the other one occupies the right side with his drum kit.
It's one band that he never heard before but he likes how experimental their music is, the kind that is groundbreaking and atmospheric. They mix the sounds from their instruments with samplers playing from an electronic kit, the big hall helps echo the music back at him to create this grand sound effortlessly.
With only a small group of people watching and no one pulling their phones out, it's immersive and intimate. You ditch the cup of beer and turn to look at him, putting your hands on each side of his waist, singing the lyrics the band is playing.
"I just want to love you in my own language," you mouth every word of the lyrics to him.
With a smile, you lean in to gently kiss him in the dark of the room. You pull away from the kiss and put your hands around his neck, slow dancing to the song like two lovers left alive.
-
The taxi ride home reminds him of that night except that you're sober and you're sitting close next to him, holding his hand
"What do you think of our second date?"
He looks up from watching his hand clasped with yours on his thigh, "it was nice."
You nod, "Nice is good!"
It was more than nice that he can't describe it with words, Han feels the need to assure you that, "It's the best date I've ever had!"
A smile grows on your beautiful face like a blossoming flower, "our first date is still the best but this comes close to that," you half agreed with him.
Han is getting used to seeing you on his bed and wearing his clothes, smiling as you watch him getting onto the bed to sit next to you.
"Don't you want to play your songs like that too?" You ask out of the blue.
He wanted to but he's not confident if he is that good and there's another thing too. He shakes his head and shyly laughs at the brief images of him performing his songs.
"Why not?" You ask.
"I'm not that good," he shortly answers.
You scrunch your nose in disagreement and he likes it whenever you do that, "I don't believe that."
He hates to disappoint you but that's just the truth, the songs he wrote, he's not planning on letting them out to the world for everyone to hear.
You stack your legs to one side, facing him, "Can I ask you something?"
Another question, how thrilling! He nods in excitement at what you're curious about.
"Is the second date too early for us to have sex?"
Han chokes on his saliva and stifles a cough. A part of him wants to take things slow with you but another part of him fancies you so much he can't say no to you. He should choose to be wise and choose the former, right?
"Uh... I think we should wait until the third date," he says and his mouth feels bitter saying it.
"Ah, okay," you repeatedly nod.
A moment passes in silence then you turn to look at him, "I mean, we can start by sleeping naked together," you suggest an idea.
He swallows air at the mention of 'naked' and 'together', it seems impossible to him to do that without involving anything sexual in between.
"Or we'll wait for the third date, that's fine," you quickly add with an awkward laugh.
Things are moving so fast that Han is still having a hard time processing everything that happened in the last seven days. But why would he stop when things are going well between you and him?
You wanted this and he wanted this too, as long as you both are going in the same direction, why hit the brake and risk everything going off track?
"We can sleep naked together," he says with a plain tone.
"Yeah?"
He nods and turns to sit on the edge of the bed, volunteering to be the first to take his clothes off. The bed shifts and he guesses you decide to start taking your clothes off too.
Han hurriedly gets under the duvet and watches you unclasping your bra. He stops looking as you get up to remove your underwear. You crawl back onto the bed and get under the cover, slowly settling yourself next to him, putting your hand on his bare chest.
"You're shivering," you lowly speak with your face only inches away from him, then proceed to snuggle next to him.
He stares at the ceiling because he knows, if he looks at you, he wants to kiss you and a kiss will unlock the raging desire inside him. He can feel your nipples graze his side as your body overlaps half of his body, your leg drapes around his with your foot softly rubbing his shin.
You lean into his side and place a long kiss on his neck, your hand slides down his front, stopping right on his abdomen.
"How about now, mmh?" You softly whisper.
Using your fingers, you lightly touch his abdomen making lazy circles on the skin.
"I have condoms in my purse if that's your concern," you tell him.
Han is getting weak with every kiss you place on his neck and the skin behind his ear. He turns his head to the side and is about to tell you what his concerns are but you capture his lips in a rapturous kiss.
You gently lick his lips before pulling away, "I want to do this with you," you assure him.
He doesn't know how to tell you that it's not you, it's him and his low self-esteem. He kisses you again to brace himself to speak his worry with you.
"I'm bad at it," he says.
That gets you quiet for a moment, "says who?"
He's unsure of it too but mostly it's the anxiety talking, "Me?"
You lowly chuckle and put more of your body on top of him, "How do I know you're bad if I haven't tried?"
That's what confuses him too. It's not like he has a rating written on his head for his sex skill, "I—"
You cut him off with a kiss and shut him up for good as you keep kissing him, your hand sliding lower until you meet his hardening member.
You stimulate him with gentle strokes, lightly rubbing his tip with your thumb while lowly moaning against his lips. You pull away from the kiss to say, "You can touch me."
Hesitate for a while, Han rests his hand on the arch of your back, his fingers trailing down your spine as you continue kissing him. You know how to use your lips, your tongue, your teeth, he can lay there and let you kiss him day and night. He wraps his arms around you to fully feel you against his body, skin to skin.
"How are you so soft?" He doesn't mean to say it out loud but you smile hearing his words.
You give him a long peck on the lips before excusing yourself to get the condom from your purse. His eyes follow you as you climb onto the bed.
Sitting next to his body with all of your hair draped on one shoulder, you rip open the foil packet and carefully, roll the rubber down his length. You crawl over his body and slowly put your body on top of him, continuing the fiery kisses that kindled the fire inside him.
This time, Han lets his hands freely roam your body, trailing the curve of your body, and feels your flesh molds into the palm of his hands.
You place a long peck on his lips before getting up, kneeling with your body between your bodies. You put your hand on his chest and say, "Just lay back, I'll do all the work."
He swallows air and with his own eyes, he sees you taking a seat on his thighs and wrapping your hand around his swollen cock. You rub it against your wetness which he can see and feel, it takes everything in him to not let his brain shut down.
"Oh," you moan with your eyes closed as you keep rubbing his shaft between your folds.
You roll your head around while letting out a long moan and then look at him in the eyes with a sly smile on your face. Still holding it in your hand, you position yourself and align his cock with your entrance, then you slowly lower yourself down his length.
"Oh," you moan again.
It's the sight of his cock disappearing into you that gets his jaws hanging open, you moan some more as you take all of him and seated on his thighs again. A low laugh spills out of your parted mouth as you tilt your head back, then say, "Oh, my— oh, I need a moment!"
Han feels like he's having an out-of-body experience, he's getting turned on more from looking at you doing things to him than the feeling of being inside you. He believes it's because his brain has a hard time catching up, he can only look at you with eyes wide open.
"How do I feel?" you lowly ask with a peck on his open mouth, then kiss his neck next, "Do I feel good, mmh?"
His brain is so close to short-circuiting that he can't form a verbal answer, he stifles a nod and draws a big breath instead.
As you straddle him, you take his hands and put them on your body, touching yourself using his hands, smooth as silk that he whimpers under his breath. You drop his hands on your thighs and put your hands on his chest as you start rolling your hips back and forth, at times, you move in circular motions.
Han lets out a groan as you abruptly stop moving and take his hands away from you, "Give me a moment," you say with a hoarse voice.
You flip all of your hair away to the back then plant both feet against the mattress on each side of his body. You prop your hands behind you and against his thighs as support.
In this position, Han can see his cock slips in and out of you as you bounce on top of him with your head thrown back and moaning, filling the room with your lewd noises. He can feel it now, your walls wrapping and tightening around him. His hands flew to your hips, trying to slow you down but instead of that, he gripped each side of your waist until his nails dug into the flesh.
"Oh..." you breathless moan.
"So good, so good," you repeatedly chant as your hips pick up the speed.
He doesn't mean to cum first but watching you enjoying yourself and fucking him so good gets him so overwhelmed, it just happens.
Seeing you getting tired, he helps you by guiding you to move on top of him. Your skin is moist with sweat, your breasts are bouncing with every movement and your breath is ragged.
"So close, oh, so close," you tell him between your whines.
He draws you close until your chest meets his so he can start bucking his hips from under you. His mouth is pressed against your shoulder as you're moaning so close to his ear.
"I'm cumming, oh..." you muffle your scream by pressing a haste kiss on his lips.
You whimper against his lips as you're reeling from the immense pleasure, returning the kisses with tongue and teeth clashes in your mouth. You both gasp for air the second you let go of the kiss and slowly come down from the high by cuddling each other.
Han gets comfortable touching your body now, he lightly touches you and kisses the skin that he can put his lips on as you're lying on top of him.
"That wasn't bad," you say with your eyes closed.
He notices the blissful smile on your face that can only mean everything went well unlike what he thought it would be.
You lean in to kiss his cheek and kiss his lips next, longer than the previous one, "This counts as our third date," you remark.
It usually scares him that things are going so fast but this feels right. Maybe all these times, he was wrong trying to fit everything into everyone's standard when in fact, things should go at his own pace.
He wouldn't let this slide away just because the time it took from him knowing you to date you happens in a week.
"Okay," he agrees.
You smile and place a long peck on his lips, "we're dating now," you say.
"Yes."
"I am your girlfriend now," you inform with a sly smile.
He lets out a chuckle and puts his hand on the nape of your neck, "And I am your boyfriend."
"That's right!" You respond.
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend," he remarks.
Even though it feels foreign in his mouth, he likes the sound of it. You and him, boyfriend and girlfriend.
-
TWO MONTHS LATER
Han is so used to thinking that he's the only character existing in his life. Han shopping for groceries by himself, Han does his laundry himself, Han makes coffee for one, Han sleeps alone on his bed, and he thinks of those kinds of scenarios in his head often enough to prepare himself that maybe what his future would be like.
Never once did he think another character would enter his scenarios. But looking at you walking around his apartment in his clothes, eating food from his fridge, and sleeping together almost every night, he starts to think that maybe his future wouldn't be as bleak as he thought it would be.
He also used to be by himself, he can't stand being in a room with anyone else and it's strange how fast he can adjust himself to your presence.
He's happy as long as you're around him, just like now. He's sitting with his back against the headboard, a guitar on his lap, and been aimlessly playing it yet you remain unbothered, lying sideways with a hand propped under your head while reading a book, occupying the end of the bed.
Even sharing the silence with you isn't boring, it's comfortable and nice. How can it get boring when he gets to see your beautiful face as much as he wants?
"Babe?" He calls.
You look away from your book, "yeah?"
"Want to hear a song I wrote about you?" He asks with a sly grin.
You exhale and close your book, "Okay, let's hear it."
Han takes a breath and memorizes the chords he's going to play, he begins by placing his fingers on the guitar fret to form the A chord.
He strums and starts singing, "Spinning on that dizzy edge. Kissed her face and kissed her head. Dreamed of all the different ways. I had to make her glow.”
Once he finds the rhythm, he can confidently look at you as he continues singing and playing his guitar.
"'Why are you so far away?' she said. 'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you, that I'm in love with you?'"
With such agility, his fingers seamlessly change their position based on the chords he's playing on the fret.
"You... Soft and only. You... Lost and lonely."
He smiles as he sings and stares at the expression on your face as you intently listen to him.
"You... Strange as angels. Dancing in the deepest oceans. Twisting in the water."
He raises the note at the end and croons, "You're just like a dream. You're just like a dream."
He aggressively strums the strings to end the song and lifts his guitar in pride.
"It's good, right?" He asks with a subtle eyebrow raise.
You turn and lay on your stomach, not sure if you know that in that position, he can see your cleavage as your breasts almost spill out of your black tank top. He shouldn't be seeing those but it's easy to tell you're not impressed with the song he played.
"Three things," you simply say.
"Go ahead and tell me," he allows you with a hand gesture.
"First, you think I wouldn't know that it's The Cure song?" You ask with a hand under your chin.
He looks up and shrugs, he can't find any reason why you wouldn't know such a widely known band, "Well..."
"Second is I don't like love songs," you share with an apologetic smile.
It hits him just now that he should know you're not a fan of love songs. He agrees with a nod, "Okay, noted. The third?"
"I don't want you to write a love song about me," you say.
"Oh, come on!" He groans in complaint.
"I haven't been dating anyone in a long time and now that I have a girlfriend, I have so much to get off my chest so let me be gooey and cheesy!" He rambles and runs out of breath at the end of the sentence.
"I'm not saying you can't write love songs," you say with a subtle eye roll.
"You want me to write love songs about... someone else?" He asks with confusion.
"Or about something like your faded and worn-out Supreme t-shirt," you answer.
Han can't tell if you're trying to mock him, make fun of him or completely joking, either way, he's feeling offended.
"Can I write a hate song about you then?" He asks.
You scrunch your nose and ask, "A hate song?"
"Yeah like things I hate about you," he says with a sneer.
He picks up his guitar and places it on his lap again, "You know what? I wrote one already just now," he says.
You stifle a laugh and lightly shake your head, "The stage is yours."
Han lies about making a song in his head just now but he starts by strumming his guitar and plays a combination of chords.
"I hate your hair..." he begins, strumming two chords in between as he thinks of another lyric.
"The way it always falls perfectly in place and makes you look like a girl in a shampoo ad," he tries to fit the melody to the chords he's playing.
"Hate it when you fix my grammar and insist that it's pronounced keen-wah instead of queen-noa," he continues while thinking of another thing he hates.
"I know you're right but god please let me be a man with pride."
You dramatically roll your eyes at that one while keep listening to him as he goes through a bridge which is just him playing the same four chords on repeat.
"Hate it, hate it that I'm your boyfriend," he keeps going.
"Now people going to compare us and say you have the prettiest smile," He slips two chords in between, "but that's okay... because I have the bigger brain."
You frown at that one and throw daggers with your eyes, he takes that as his cue to stop with his make-up song and ends it with a slap on the guitar.
"So..." he drags the word as silence hangs in the air, "what do you think?"
You tilt your head to one side and stay quiet for a moment. You rub your temple is never a good sign and he prepares himself for the worst.
Then you suddenly ask, "Want to make out?"
He repeatedly nods like a happy puppy, putting away his guitar as you crawl on the bed towards him. You put your leg over his body and sit on his lap.
You smile as you look down at his face with your hands holding his face, and then you slowly put your lips on his lips, kissing him with fondness.
He no longer hesitates to touch you, he puts his arms under and around you, angling your head so he can kiss you deeper, and when he pulls away from the kiss, he drags his mouth down the column on your neck.
"Han?" You softly call.
He hums and answers your call with a kiss because that's most likely what you're going to ask him which is to kiss you again.
The hand on his chest pushes him away and keeps a few inches between your faces, "I read your journal this morning," You suddenly confess and hurriedly kiss him, knowing that he's going to be mad about it.
It's his turn to push you away with his hands on your shoulders, "You went through my underwear drawer?"
There's a surprised look on your face, "Ew, no. It was lying near the window sill," you say.
It's his habit of forgetting things, where he puts them, and forgets to put them back in its place. He's bad with his memory but the thing is you read it.
"Another thing on the list of things I hate about you," he remarks.
"Oh, don't be so dramatic," you sigh.
"I wrote about my most personal things there," he says with his hands resting on your shoulder blades.
"Like how you lost your virginity in the backseat of a car while Radiohead's most depressing song is playing in the car stereo?"
"Exit Music For A Film is not depressing," he defends himself.
"They wrote it for the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack and they didn't even play it in the movie because guess what?"
"It's depressing?"
You nod and put your hands on his chest, it's time to turn the conversation back on track, "No one wants to listen to a song about how you lost your virginity but your other songs are good."
"You should let them out to the world," you say with eyes that sparkle and make his heart leap.
He turns away to not let your charm win him over, "You know how I feel about being a singer, by myself on a stage... it's awkward," he explains.
You turn his head back to look at you, "Okay then let's make a band!" You simply solve.
"Unless you want to join then I don't have anyone who wants to be in a band with me," he says with a defeated sigh.
You turn his head back to face you again, "how about a one-man band?"
"That's even lame. I never heard a successful one-man band," he says with a chagrin.
You put on a shocked face and start to list all the one-man bands you know, "Paul McCartney, Prince, Phil Collins, Bon Iver, Tame Impala, LCD Soundsystem, M83, Sufjan Stevens... and Dave Grohl basically started The Foo Fighters by himself," you finish with a proud smile.
"Dave Grohl and I are different entities, he is in Nirvana and I'm just... me, loser," he gives another explanation that makes him not pursue music.
"Being dramatic again," you sigh and rub your temple again.
He slides his hands down your arms and squeezes your elbows, he understands that you're trying to be supportive of his passion but he's not sure of his talent.
He sees your disappointed face and lifts your chin, "I'm not that good," he says.
You don't even try to deny him, probably have enough of doing it for him.
"And I'm still mad about you reading my journal," he says with a pout.
You put your hands around his neck and draw him close, "How about I give you head to make up for it?"
That gets him hot and bothered in a second, he plays it cool as if your words didn't affect him at all.
"Well, if you insist," he says.
You chuckle and kiss him, continuing the make-out session that is put to a halt by an argument. Your hand swiftly works open his jeans and slips inside, palming his hardening member with your hand.
"I'll make you forget that you were mad at me," you whisper before kissing him down his chest and pulling his jeans down to let his cock out of its confine.
Han has already forgotten that he was mad at you the second you take all of his length into your mouth, you're lying between his legs and taking your time to please him with your mouth.
Not just that, he's slowly losing his mind as you keep sucking him and combining it with your hand pumping the rest that you can't take with your mouth.
"Are you close, baby?" You ask before putting his swollen cock in your mouth again.
"Uh-huh," he breathlessly answers.
You pull it out and gasp for air, pumping his cock slick with your spit as you ask, "Where do you want to cum?"
His brain is foggy to pick one out of so many options but you notice that he's eyeing your chest and understand it right away.
You let go of his cock to take your tank top off and let your breasts hang down your chest as you lean down over his crotch to continue sucking his cock. Your nipples are grazing his thighs and his legs twitch at how it arouses him in a newfound way, "close, baby?"
He repeatedly nods and watches you keep the stimulation going by pumping his cock at a quick pace, bringing your chest close as you're doing it.
You put all of your hair to the back, not risking any of his bodily fluid lands on it. You moan and sigh, looking into his eyes as you say, "I can feel you twitching in my hand."
With a few more pumps, the white arch of his seed erupted from the tip of his cock, painting streaks on your chest and breasts.
"You cum a lot, baby," you say with an impressed, sultry smile for him to think that it's a complaint.
You keep your hand going up and down his shaft, milking every drop of the pearly white essence. You use the tip of his cock to smear it all over and around your nipples.
Once you're done playing with his cock that gradually softens in your hand, you crawl over to kiss him.
"Are you still mad?" You ask with a sweet, sinful smile.
He puts on a dumb smile and says, "Me? Mad? I must be crazy to be mad at you."
-
Han is in the middle of his class when he receives a new text message, he should be thankful to whoever texted him because he almost falls asleep until his phone buzzes on his desk and startles him awake. He checks the text by putting his phone under the desk and smiles seeing your contact name as the sender.
"Meet me at the library steps after class," you wrote in your text.
The library steps are located on the steps of the building across the library but they call it the library steps because most students like to read or study while sitting on the steps. Not sure if you know that his class has ended, he looks around and can't find you, so he takes a seat on the steps with his backpack next to his feet.
The weather is cool and pleasant, he has an hour before his next class starts so he has time to wait and enjoy the weather. After a few minutes, he spots you making your way toward him and he gets up to welcome you, you're walking so fast and not slowing down even though he's only a few meters away.
Crash is imminent but that seems to be what your intention is, you loop your arms around his neck and pull him for a kiss. This marks the first time you kiss him on campus and it's nerve-wracking, he can't stop thinking how many people are watching him now.
He looks around the second he lets go of the kiss and finds that no one truly cares. Well, it's not like kissing on the campus ground is illegal so why should he worry?
"Oh, I have fifteen minutes before my next class so I'm just going to text you what I need to tell you," you explain everything in one breath.
"Why can't you tell me now?" He asks, perplexed.
"Because you're most likely to forget it so I'll just text you," you answer and fix the collar of his shirt.
"Then why did you ask to meet me here?" He asks again even with more curiosity.
"That's because I want to see you and kiss you," you simply answer and give him a quick peck on the lips with a giggle.
Han laughs, the kind of laugh that makes him shine from within, a part of him that he has never seen until you brought it out of him.
"Why? I can't do that?" You ask with a chuckle.
He puts his arms around you and pulls you close, "We can definitely do that."
Han takes his turn to kiss you, giving you a long, lingering kiss and trying to keep it appropriate. He endearingly brushes your hair after and tucks it behind your ear. The sun hits you right in the eyes as you look up at him with a smile that is as warm as your smile.
"I have to go now," you mutter.
"Okay," he says and presses a long peck on your lips before letting you go.
It's been months since he dated you and he can still hear Bill Withers singing inside his head.
"Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day..."
-
The address you sent is of the house of someone he doesn't know but he recognized some faces as he walked inside so he assumed it belonged to a fellow university. You said you'll be waiting by the kitchen but it's a big house and it's hard to navigate through the sea of people without bumping into one.
After getting lost in a maze of big and expensive furniture, he finds you in the kitchen like you said, nursing a bottle of beer while leaning against the kitchen counter.
"Hey, you're here!" You exclaim as you see him coming to you.
You're going right into his arms to hug him, "Miss you," you mumble.
"You're drunk already?" He jokingly asks.
You scoff and look at him, "Not even close," you answer.
It's impossible to resist kissing you when you're this close and you're smiling at him, your hands are around him like his personal comfort blanket. Han leans in and gives you a short yet sweet kiss on the lips.
You giggle when he pulls away and hands him your beer, "I have someone I want you to meet," you say.
Han doesn't realize that someone is standing at the end of the counter until you gesture him to come. A small guy wearing a beanie and glasses perched on his nose, he dressed so casually for a party in a white t-shirt and jeans.
"This is Felix," you introduce him.
Felix smiles and offers his hand for a handshake, "I'm Felix," he says.
He gets taken aback by his deep voice, not expecting that it's coming out of this elf-like person, "I'm Han," he introduces back.
"I know Felix from my communication class, we're doing an assignment together and I found out recently that," you turn to look at Han before continuing talking, "Felix plays drums."
Now he gets your intention of inviting him to this party, you know he hates coming to things like this but he understands now.
"I told him about your songs and your dream of forming a rock band," you explain,  avoiding his eyes are you speak since you're doing all of it behind his back.
"Yeah, I'm interested," Felix says between his sips of canned Red Bull.
Han doesn't know how to explain to Felix that it's never his dream to form a rock band, it's mostly you and your steadfast conviction that that dream will come true.
"I don't—"
You cut him off by grabbing his and Felix's hand, "Now, come follow me," you say.
Han and Felix are trailing behind you as you lead the way to the basement of the house that he believes is off-limit to guests.
You open the door to what he guesses is a door to a supply closet, it's indeed that from stacks of sheets and towels on the shelf but on the back, there's another door. From the way you know that it's a sliding door, he believes you've been here but that's a question he'll ask later in private.
"Welcome to rich people's man cave," you announce.
It's a recreation room filled with fun and expensive stuff, it's a literal man cave because Han can imagine him spending most of his time here if he were the owner.
"Are we even allowed here?" Felix asks, being the only one with a conscience.
"I know the owner of the house and I've been here before," you reply but not really answering his question.
Han glares at you for now but something else behind you steals his attention away, a custom Fender Stratocaster. He goes to admire it with his hands.
"Felix, you may want to check this," you say, throwing away the white sheets covering the drums.
He gasps at the sight of it and not waste time sitting behind the drums, touching the surface of it with amazement in his eyes, "Why would they keep this sweet thing hidden in here?"
You stand in the middle of a room and watch them admiring musical instruments like they're historic artifacts. Having enough of being ignored, you say, "You guys can start jamming together, perhaps?"
Han turns to look at you and with his eyes widening, he asks, "You want me to play with this?"
"Yeah."
"Are we even allowed?" Felix asks again.
"No one can hear us playing," you reply and again, not really answering his question.
"How do you know people are not going to hear us jamming in here?" Han asks.
"Uh... I just know," you answer with a grin and a shrug.
"It's soundproofed," Felix adds as he touches the lined walls behind him.
"And it's soundproofed," you repeated his words.
Han doubts that your intention to help him form a band will go according to plan but he can't resist playing the guitar and there's no harm in playing one song.
"What do you usually play?" Han asks Felix.
"Metal, death metal, post-death metal, rock, classic rock..." he lists the genre instead of telling him the band names.
Han thinks of one famous rock song widely known by people but at the same time, he wants to test how knowledgeable Felix is within the rock genre.
"Let's play Black Hole Sun," Han says to him.
Felix thinks for a while, "Soundgarden? Yeah, okay," he agrees.
Now that the guitar is slung across his shoulder and right in front of him, he feels nervous to play it. He plugged the cable that connects it to the amplifier, he's tuning it while Felix is warming up and tightening the screws on the drums.
"Woohoo!" You cheer even though they barely started yet.
Han searches for the chords first on the internet to refresh his memory and warm up his hands, "Ready?"
Felix gives him a thumbs-up in response.
Han starts playing the riff then Felix comes in right after. It's a whole new experience for him to play a song with someone or just like what you called it, jamming.
"Black hole sun, won't you come and wash away the rain?"
with no mic, Han sings as loud as he can but it's impressive how Felix stays on the beat.
"Black hole sun won't you come, won't you come..."
He's too focused on watching Felix nailing the part that leads to the end of the song that he missed a chord, but quickly recovering from it.
"Woohoo!" You cheer again and Han almost forgot that you're in the room with them.
It was thrilling and exciting, he can feel his heart pounding with the guitar still hanging around his chest.
"That was fun!" Felix says with a grin.
Han is at a loss for words, not expecting that he'll love it this much. Maybe he's meant to form a rock band like you said. He holds his hand up at him for a high-five, "Good job, man!"
Felix excitedly high-fives him with a big grin on his face, he looks much more attractive without his glasses and Han can see freckles dotted his cheeks.
You wait until he puts the guitar down to jump at him and fortunately, he's strong enough to catch you, you press a haste kiss on his lips with an exaggerated smooching sound.
"See? I told you!" You tell him before pressing another kiss with your hands around his neck.
Maybe it's the adrenaline still lingering, he kisses you so passionately and ignores that there's another person in the room.
Another person comes into the room and surprises everyone that Han immediately puts you down, "Who are you guys?"
Han glances at you and you glance at him, there's a moment passed in awkward silence, then you make up an excuse on the spot.
"We accidentally stumbled here to get some privacy, you know," you purposely slurring your words and holding on to him to imply that you're drunk.
Han plays a long and puts his hand around your waist, drooping his eyes and putting a stupid smile on his face. He seems to buy it from the way he shifts his eyes to Felix.
"And what is he doing here?" The owner of the mancave asks.
"He..." you drag the word as you think of something, "likes to watch?"
The three of you are still laughing after getting out of the house and stopping to lean against a stranger's car, composing yourselves back from what just happened.
"You said you know the owner of the house," Han says.
"I know but we're not acquainted," you defend yourself with a sly smile.
You turn to Felix and pat his shoulder, "I'm sorry for making you a perv, Lix!"
"That's alright!" He responds with a coy shrug. He's digging into his pocket jeans to pull out his car keys.
"Where do you park your car? Mine is down the block," Felix asks.
You glance at Han before looking back at Felix, "We take public transport. We're a very eco-friendly couple," you say with a sneer.
"Ah..." Felix lowly gasps, "I remember you said your boyfriend is too nervous to drive a car."
Han wonders how much work you put into the group assignment because it seems like you shared things about him a lot rather than doing that.
"Let me give you guys a drive home," Felix kindly offers with a smile.
There's nothing phony about Felix. Han has met a lot of people in his life to know when someone is only putting up a good front but not with Felix, he can tell right away that he's a genuinely kind person.
As a way to get back to you, Han runs to the passenger's side before you and shouts, "Shotgun!"
That leaves you no option but to reluctantly get into the backseat of the car.
After turning the car engine on, Felix leaves it for a while to warm up while he connects his phone to the car stereo, "You don't mind that I put on some music, right?"
Felix is so well-mannered but Han doesn't find it obnoxious, he finds it adorable instead, "It's your car, do what you want."
Once he settles on a song, he backs the car out of someone's driveway and starts driving with one hand on the steering wheel. The song starts with a one-chord guitar strum and followed by a steady bang of drums.
"I AM IRON MAN!" You and Felix shout at the same time.
You lean forward between the seats and put your hand on his shoulder, "it's Lix's favorite band, Black Sabbath."
"Yes, I know," Han says with a snide smile.
"Why aren't you singing along?" You ask, cupping his chin with your hand.
Felix is focused on looking at the road ahead to pay attention to him and how you treat him like a baby, not that he doesn't like it but he prefers not to do it in public.
"Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all? Or if he moves, will he fall?" You and Felix sing at the same time.
Han is just too embarrassed to join in but he knows you won't stop teasing him until he sings. Besides that, he can see why Felix likes this band, it's the intense and fast-paced drumming. He's doing it now by tapping his steering wheel with both hands.
Han decides to join when the song gets to the second chorus, "Nobody wants him. They just turn their heads."
"Yeah!" You exclaim in satisfaction and raise your voice louder.
"Nobody helps him. Now he has his revenge," the three of you filling the space in the car with your singing.
The song reaches the climax of heavy riffs and an impeccable guitar solo that makes him feel alive as the car glides through the night.
-
Today will be the first time for Han and Felix to do a band practice together.
Felix regularly practices his drumming and he can use the studio, one of the facilities provided by the university but its use is limited in time, they can practice on Thursday and Saturday for two hours.
"We'd better get started," Han says even though he hasn't tuned his guitar yet.
Han and Felix are in the middle of playing a warm-up song when you come into the studio, carrying drinks for them in one hand. You sit in the corner and watch them until the end of the song before handing out the drinks.
"Iced Americano for the boyfriend," you say as you hand him his drink with a kiss on the cheek.
You walk up to Felix to hand his, "Super sweet latte for the drummer."
"Thank you," Felix mutters and takes a big sip of it.
"Okay, I'm going back to sit in the corner and watch you guys jamming," you say with a smile, sitting on the stool and sipping your drink through a straw.
After taking a break, Han turns to Felix to ask whether he has studied the song he wrote to start practicing it.
"Yeah, I have but I saw that it's not finished yet?" Felix asks while tightening the screws on the drums.
"Yes, I plan on working the rest of the song together with you," Han answers.
Sure, Han is capable of working on the rest of his song himself but he wants to be in a band so every decision he's making now will not be his own.
Felix is patient yet eager to learn, he has musicality that Han believes is above him but he's unaware of it. He's humble and easy to work with, he couldn't find a better partner than him.
Two hours passed without him realizing it and he almost forgot that you were there in the room until you come his way, "Can we grab dinner after this?"
Felix packs his drumming sticks into his backpack, "I second that!"
Since the practice turns out to be a great one, it's only right for him to let the good times roll.
"I'll treat dinner!" He announces and you share a celebration high-five with Felix.
-
The practice is going well but Han feels something is missing. He's reclining on the seat after finishing his meal earlier than everyone else.
"I think we need one more member," Han suddenly shares.
You stop shoving another French fry and ask, "Why? I think you guys sound great!"
Han shrugs, he can't explain it because it's just instinct, "Two-man band is not it. You know what happened to The White Stripes," he explains with an example.
Felix wipes his mouth with a napkin and gulps his cola, "but that's because they have a half-decent drummer."
Hearing Felix's comment, you put down the French fry you're about to eat and push the plate away, "Don't you dare to drag my girl, Meg White, into this!" you say with squinted eyes at Felix.
"That's just fact," Felix innocently says.
"Three things," you say and rest your back, crossing your arms in front of you before laying out the three things on why Felix is wrong.
That's one of the things Han likes about you, you're not scared to speak your mind. He knows very well that you have strong opinions about certain things, he just doesn't like it when he's on the opposite side of things.
Felix is the unlucky one to be in that position right now but Han is more than happy to watch it from the sideline.
"First, their marriage got in the way," you begin with an obvious fact there is.
"Second, Meg took the "less is more" approach and you can get more power when you have more space and give songs character," you eloquently state.
"And third, Meg's parts are full of choices most drummers wouldn't make and that what makes her a one-of-a-kind player."
When Han thinks you're done explaining, you continue while leaning forward on the table, "'Seven Nation Army' is a perfect example of how simple doesn't mean boring. How many drummers would be satisfied playing the same beat for an entire song?" You aim the question at Felix who's looking petrified sitting across the table and too afraid to speak.
"Exactly!" You say even though he doesn't say anything but you take his silence as an answer.
"It's worth sacrificing our egos for the good of music," you finally conclude.
Han can't decide if he should stop it and risk getting trampled in the process or let it be which is a safer option.
"Okay, I'm sorry," Felix stammers.
"Tell that to Meg White!" You tell him.
"Uh... I'm sorry, Meg White," Felix apologizes again.
"Good," you shortly respond and lean back to continue eating your fries, turning back into your normal self.
After making sure you're relaxed and tame, Han decides to continue the talk about looking for another member.
"Anyway..." Han lets out a sigh and uneasily glances at you to continue speaking, "I think we need a bassist."
Felix drags his cup of soda and meekly sips it through a straw, "I don't know any bassist," he says.
"I can play bass but then I can't play two instruments at once, right?" He says with a smirk.
You lean to his side and coo, "Oh, must be tiring to be so good at everything!"
He playfully kisses your lips since you're leaning so close to him and it tastes salty. You giggle as you sit back to continue eating.
Something must have popped into his head as Felix shouts, "Ah, I have a friend who plays guitar really well."
That gets his hopes up that Han feels so optimistic about it again, "Yeah?"
"But she lives abroad now so..." Felix sounded so heartbroken when he said it.
"That's very helpful, Felix," you say while stealing some fries from his plate.
Han draws a sigh but it's too early to give up now, he has just started the band and who knows he'll find a new member soon.
"We just have to keep looking then," Han says.
"Yeah, I agree," Felix responds.
"I'll help," you eagerly offer with a sweet smile at him.
He endearingly pats your head and smiles back at you, "Of course, you are," he can't help but give you a quick peck on the lips.
You're not complaining when Han is riding shotgun again, probably not letting go of the argument you had with Felix earlier. Thankfully, Felix knows how to win you over.
"As an apology to Meg White," he says and presses play on his phone.
The iconic riffs of Seven Nation Army blast through the car stereo followed by the signature thumping of Meg White's drumming.
You break into a smile and shout, "Yeah, Meg White rules!!!"
-
Once he gets the privacy in his studio apartment, Han wraps you into a tight hug and kisses you so hard that you squeal, almost running out of breath.
"You're so hot when you argue," he says with a sly smile.
You chuckle and hold him back, putting your hands around his small waist, "Oh, you want to argue with me?"
He shakes his head and says, "No, I don't want to be on the wrong side of things."
What he said implies that you're always right about things and he knows that will win your heart with it.
"Good choice!" You say.
As expected, you reward him with a long, lingering kiss that escalates things further.
Being inside you strips him away from his sanity. He's thrusting into you hard and he doesn't know how you stay so calm and composed under him.
Your eyes are wide and awake, so still that he can see his reflection in them. You're smiling as you affectionately brush his hair to the back and caress his face.
"You're fucking me so good," you tell him with an open-mouthed kiss and you know that he needed to hear that.
It feels inexplicably intimate and raw, he feels naked than he already is with the way you're staring deeply into his eyes.
"Stop looking at my sex face," he turns to look the other way.
You chuckle and turn his head to face you again, making him look you in the eyes while fucking you.
He can't lie that he's close to his high, can no longer contain his groans so he lets them spill out of his parted mouth.
"Oh, fuck..." he curses between his grunts as he launches his cock deep inside you.
You break into laughter underneath him while he's still reeling from his high and his cock still planted deep inside you.
"What's so funny, mmh?" He asks with a kiss on your jaw.
You shake your head with your hands still hanging around his neck, "Nothing."
"You're making fun of my sex face, huh?" He says with eyes closed.
You don't answer but keep laughing even after he collapses onto the bed next to you, "Stop laughing!"
That doesn't stop you from laughing, he crawls over and puts his body on top of you, pressing a kiss to stop you from laughing.
It's a fruitless effort that you're still chuckling when he lets go of the kiss, "I hate you."
He presses a hard kiss on your mouth again and with a conflicted feeling he says, "But the sex was so good I can't hate you."
When he returns from the bathroom, he sees you already dressed in his t-shirt and lying on your side of the bed with your eyes closed.
He dives right into your arms with his head nuzzled into the crook of your neck, he puts your hands around him just how he likes it.
From the way your hand slips into his hair and softly scratches at it, he knows that you're still awake.
"So, how did it feel playing your song for the first time?" You ask.
A lot has happened in the last 24 hours but it's mostly good, practicing his song and getting to hear how it turns out is a feeling he can't describe.
What's important is this feels right to him, it feels like it's meant to be.
"It feels... amazing," he says with a dreamy sigh.
You hum in answer and place a soft kiss on the top of his head, "I just know that you're going to be great."
Your faith in him is unwavering and he starts to believe that forming a rock band of his dreams is possible and that he can create great things with this band.
"You know, Nirvana has this secret track called Sappy," you suddenly share with your voice low and sleepy.
"It's a great song and I wish that a lot of people know about this song," you say.
You pause to take a breath and quietly exhale it, "but at the same time, I want to gatekeep it."
You lift your head and search for his eyes to say, "That's you."
Han lifts his head to hover above you, putting inches between your faces, "You're saying I'm Sappy?" He jokingly says.
You sleepily smile and lick your lips before talking, "I want the world to know how great you are with your songwriting, your music, your wit, your unfunny jokes..."
He glares at you, feeling offended that you think his jokes are not funny.
"But at the same time, I want to keep it for you myself," you say with eyes that shine and show how honest you are with what you said.
It's a heartwarming analogy and he understands the sentiment in it. He hasn't shown all of his yet but you talk about his greatness like they're written in stones. Han appreciates you more for saying that and seeing through all of his shortcomings and weaknesses and unfunny jokes.
The sound of you calling his name, your laugh, your smile, your low snores, and everything that comes out of your mouth. Those are his favorite songs.
He places a soft kiss on your lips and murmurs, "You are my favorite song."
As much as he wants you to share your greatness with the world, Han wants to keep you for himself.

♡ YOUR NEXT SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
P I L E 1 ~ P I L E 2 ~ P I L E 3
This PAP reading is the winner from a poll that I previously posted a week ago! Follow me for more PAP readings and polls so that you can help me decide what readings I do next!
take a deep breath and pick the pile that you feel most drawn to.
♡ p i l e 1 ♡
Ace of Wands, Queen of Pentacles, King of Cups, Knight of wands
Bottom of the Deck: Eight of Swords (Reversed)
"You are a badass being, full of life, love and possibilities. Through this deck, may you find a path to your best self." -Lisa Sterle, Modern Witch Tarot Deck
The first thing I heard, was something along the lines of, "you set me free". The writing is kind of on the tin with this one, but I feel like you have liberated this person in some way, shape or form.
This is a new person who is going to come into your life when you are the most secure in yourself and when you are at peace with yourself. If you have been trying to manifest someone who is kind, caring, loyal, faithful etc., this is who is coming your way. You will be each other's peace. Even if it feels like the whole world is against you, you know that your person is there by your side. I'm sensing that Pile 1 have had to deal with a lot of B.S. as far as romance goes; giving your heart fully, only to have it stomped on repeatedly. The person that is coming in for your next significant relationship, is coming in like a knight on a white horse. This person is such a flirt, and they want to make you feel wanted and special all the time. I feel like it's their goal to always make you feel sexy and good in general.
This might be a bit niche as far as this pile goes, but I feel that pile 1 has met this person and maybe even had a fling with this because I'm hearing, "I don't want to kiss anyone else; no one feels like you."

♡ p i l e 2 ♡
The Sun (Reversed), Page of Swords, King of Pentacles, Two of Wands
Before even pulling your cards, Pile 2, I just felt a wave of calm wash over me. It kind of felt like, "finally." Either, finally, you see me or finally you're here.
I'm also hearing that this isn't a case of confirmation bias. I can't confirm or deny if that's true for you, only you can. listen to your intuition/gut/heart, whatever you want to call it.
Getting into the cards, I feel that with Pile Three, there is distance between you and your person and a lot of you even know this person. You may not be together right now mainly because the distance is too much for the both of you but it makes you both really unhappy. The two are going to come together because you can't take being apart and not in a relationship anymore. There will be travel and for some of you, it will be a case of choosing this person or another path. It could be related to your career or choosing another person. The main thing right now, is to be patient. Everything will happen when it's supposed to happen, how it's supposed to happen. Taking your time and letting the chips fall where they may will be rewarded. You will be with your person.
Channeled Song: Long Distance by Brandy
I wish that you were here with me // but we're stuck where we are // It's so hard // so far //

Seven of Cups (Reversed), Five of Swords, Eight of Cups, Six of Wands
"You are a badass being, full of life, love and possibilities. Through this deck, may you find a path to your best self". - Lisa Sterle, Modern Witch Tarot Deck
I feel so out of my element all of a sudden; like I don't know what I'm doing even though I've done two other piles before this one and have done other PAP readings before and that may be something that you can relate to. You may feel out of your element or alien to something that you are usually so familiar with.
Don't shoot the messenger but, what I'm seeing is that you need to accept change before you can even worry about your next significant relationship. Learning to let go and when to walk away are things that Spirit is asking of you. In a way, they are saying that your next significant relationship needs to be with yourself. Your head is too wrapped up in all the things that you do wrong, you don't focus enough on all the things that you do right. You don't see how amazing and beautiful you are. You don't see yourself as worthy enough for love. You don't see your value and all of the wonderful things that you deserve. At this time, it should only be about you and your happiness. That doesn't mean to neglect your responsibilities, but it does mean that you matter, too, especially in your own life. It doesn't matter if your person comes in and tells you how amazing and beautiful, they believe you are if you don't even believe it. You are a masterpiece in progress but a masterpiece, still. You are so magical, and you have to take the time so that you can believe that and know that in your own heart. You should not rely on others to validate that for you. You should already know it and when someone else says it, it's seen as a plus or a bonus.
Channeled Song: Anklebiters by Paramore
Fall in love with yourself // oh, again // fall in love with yourself // Because // Someday you're gonna be the only one you got // Someday you're gonna be the only one you got // Why you wanna please the world to let yourself drop dead? // Someday you're gonna be the only one you got //
Channeled Song: Last Hope by Paramore
It's just a spark // But, it's enough/ to keep me going // and when it's dark out // noone's around // And it keeps going //

Do you have any Emily Lang relationship headcanons?
Oh, buddy, do I ever.
What a relationship with Emily Lang would be like:
Tumblr media
VCD, this art, and Emily herself were all created by sonokido.
TW: none
(A/N: this is just as self-indulgent for me as it is for you, my friend)
The Beginning
First off, the start of your relationship... wasn't exactly a romantic affair.
One day whilst you were hanging out, she just blurted out, "Hey, wanna go out sometime?"
And so you did.
Your first date was just her dragging you along to one of the Drifters' games.
After her team (obviously) won, she'd take you out somewhere to eat in celebration.
Afterwards, she took you home and the two of you did the whole stand-outside-the-door-awkwardly thing, until she finally got up the courage to kiss you.
When the two of you separated, she picked you up (quite literally) and carried you inside, throwing you onto the couch and immediately jumping on top of you, kissing you again.
And again.
The Relationship
First of all, you're gonna be dragged to all of her games from now on.
She wants to impress you, of course, but she also just wants to know that you're there for her.
She is extraordinarily fond of PDA.
She does not care if you're having a conversation, she'll walk up behind you and go "'sup, dork?" while putting you in an affectionate headlock.
If you two are somewhere private, she'll just push you up against a locker and start kissing you.
She gets jealous very easily. If she sees another person making heart eyes at you, she'll hug you from behind and glare at them until they back away. This usually leads to cuddles.
Speaking of which, she is a very good cuddler. Feeling her wrap her arms around you when you both get home from school is an instant stress remover.
Dates for you two will usually consist of some form of physical activity, whether that be hiking, working out, or just strolling around town and talking.
Your first "I love you" is not gonna come easily. Emily isn't good with all this romance stuff, so she's awkward when it comes to the more intimate and mushy stuff.
You'll likely be the one who says it first.
The Drifters have just won a game, and she comes up to you, all excited.
Without thinking, you blurt out that you're proud of her, and you love her.
When she hears those three words, her brain short-circuits for a brief moment before a massive grin breaks onto her face, and she tackles you into a hug, blurting out that she loves you too.

Sorry if this is to specific
But can you do a thick user with demon slayer men? And when I say thick i mean like a pear body shape wide lower body parts and stretch marks I just don’t see a lot of writers do this body type
It's not too specific at all! Honestly, you could even give more detail than that and it'd still be okay. I chose the guys, since you didn't include which specific men you wanted.
Pear-Shaped Thick!Reader with Demon Slayer men:
Tengen Uzui
Tumblr media
"What a flashy figure...!"
Tengen is enchanted by your looks. Your hair, skin, and fashion were so distinctive from the area. He was bored with the Meiji era standard of beauty. How were you going to be flashy if you looked standard?! He finally found another person that would understand his plight.
As expected, he's quite vocal with his appreciation. How could he NOT be? You were cool and extra fine; someone worthy to be apart of his harem.
"Y/N, you're just as stylish as ever!"
"Whoa! Be careful throwing that flashy figure around, you might just make people faint!"
The people he's referring to is his wives. They are also avid fans of you. What? You thought he would faint? And miss looking at that awesome body of yours?
He certainly did not want to miss seeing your smooth skin, enriched with lovingly patterned strikes that covered your cute hanging stomach, ass, and thighs. He bit his lips at the thought of touching your soft body. Cuddling with you would be heaven on earth. You were beautiful and beginning to be a wonderful possible addition to his marriage.
Giyuu Tomioka
Tumblr media
Characteristically, your shape is not the first attribute Giyuu noticed. He paid more attention to your face and how you acted during your introduction. Once his attraction to you becomes more apparent over time, that's when he pays attention to your body.
He's overwhelmed. How could he handle all that? He isn't a confident man. The only time his confidence shows is in his fighting and training, slightly. Not in romance, much less sexual interactions. He employs a secret style training...calls it Sex Breathing. It targets his arms, hips, and legs in order to handle your bottom heavy size.
One time, he accidentally watched you when you were changing. It was a small moment before he forcefully turned his head away. But Tomioka did not miss that you had stretch marks adorning your thick thighs. Giyuu became addicted to the memory, wishing he could have had the audacity to watch you fully undress.
Your figure could not be hidden by your clothing, much to his combined glee and chagrin. He loved that he could see it, but hated that others could enjoy your lovely figure too.
Gyomei Himejima
Tumblr media
Gyomei, respectable and pious as he is, privately succumbs to his dirty thoughts after you both start dating. He'd felt your bottom heavy figure against his body after the first hug. The feeling of that soft stomach and thick thighs stuck in his memory. The hulking young man begins to pray.
"Kami, as these straying thoughts plague my mind, i must ask that the gods keep me afloat. But, I must thank them! Only they could construct a being such as Y/N! I will not ignore this obvious blessing to my life!"
Gyomei will not make it known of his thoughts on your figure, keeping his comments to himself. He makes the effort to not make you uncomfortable, not wanting to scare you off. Once you let him know that it's okay, he is more free with his thoughts.
He strongly desires to hold you daily, his hands ache to travel down your pear-shaped figure in glee. You felt so soft. Gyomei wanted to cuddle to feel his hard muscles against your supple form. It's always a blessing when he's able to. Each time is more magical than the last.
Gyomei, selfishly, makes you describe your stretch marks to him. As poetic as possible, to paint the perfect picture in his head.
Sanemi Shinazugawa

It was rough journey getting past Sanemi's tough exterior. Many times you wanted to give up on your odd pursuit of this mean ass hashira. But, it was obvious his act protected himself and others, albeit extremely harsh. You knew something sweet lied past that facade.
And your intuition was correct. After you broke him down with your endless flirting, he started to bite back. In his own special way, of course. It starts with:
"I'm not staring!"
To
"Just cause you're shaped like that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want."
To
"Sometimes looking at you calms me down...but excites me in a different way.."
Sanemi felt drunk whenever he was with you. The sight of you makes his heart race. Your pear shaped figure was something he could not ignore. Trust and believe, he has tried many times. It was as if your body called out to him, instructing him to look. Much to his embarrassment, it did not take long for him to relent to the voice and stare. He was always in a different plane of existence when you came into the room. It annoyed him to no end.
Sanemi was speechless when he first laid eyes upon your unclothed form. His eyes gravitated up and down the electric marks that blessed your appearance. You had never seen him so affected.

jimin has always found you pretty.
the day you announced to be best friends with him, he quickly accepted his fate and pushed the idea of being with you aside. it didn't matter to him back then. he was just happy to be yours.
but it's different now.
after a long internship abroad, you've finally returned home. he picked you up from the airport and if he could live through the moment where your eyes met in the crowd again—he would.
it was the way your eyes lit up when he found yours.
it was the way he pushed through the crowd to reach for you again.
it was the way you smiled as he pulled you in by your waist, resting your chin on the crook of his neck, murmuring; "god, i missed you."
during the drive back to your place, he asks about your flight. to his dismay, you talk about something else.
someone else.
there's an unsure feeling that forms in the pit of his stomach. it could be jealousy. it probably is jealousy.
you tell jimin about the boy you met during your internship. how he treated you well in the beginning and even considered sleeping with him. how natural it was for you and the other guy to bond. jimin feels sick with every word about him that escapes your mouth. was he replaced? was that why you barely called? was that who you were with and posting in a soft-launch style? oh, his blood boils.
when you arrive at your place, jimin helps you carry your suitcases to your room. but before that, he greets everyone in your family. they waited for you too. they missed you too.
in your bedroom, you immediately fall to your bed. you take a deep breath and stare at the ceiling as jimin sets your suitcases aside. you pat the space beside you and jimin mimics your fall to join you. now, in the silence, you two let your thoughts consume you.
he should say he missed you. he should say he missed you more than you missed him. he should... say something, right? confess or whatever? he isn't sure. all he knows is that he's happy you're back and doesn't think he could do this again.
he can't be without you again.
"___, can i—"
"i think i'm over love," you sigh, turning to your side and facing him. you reach for his hair and play with a few strands. "he was so nice in the beginning. i thought i was going to bring him home and introduce you to him... but it didn't last. why doesn't it ever last?"
jimin's throat goes dry.
"feels like i went to hell and back with him," you admit. "was i always bound to be with guys like him? i've had enough. from here on out, i'm going to commit to the cat lady thing."
he laughs. "really, now? the cat thing? you're allergic."
you huff. "i'll replace you with yoongi. he's a cat. same shit."
jimin pouts.
you laugh and apologize.
"not all guys are like him, ___. you know that." he attempts to comfort you. "i'm not like that."
you smile and nod in agreement. "i know... it's just... what ever happened to love letters? to fresh flowers and picnics by the lake?"
jimin squints at you. "you hate the lake. you say the ground is too mushy and the ducks are scary."
you shrug. "i want to go on a row boat ride. like allie and noah from the notebook or something... you know? i want romance."
"knowing you... you'd fall into the water."
"well, then that's his cue to save me."
"what if he doesn't know how to swim?"
"then he's not the one."
a beat.
"i'm a good swimmer."
you blink at him.
before you can reply, jimin continues. "you seem to be flip-flopping between wanting to love and wanting to be loved. which is it, really?"
you think.
"both," you answer. "how romantic would it be if it was both?"
jimin doesn't answer you.
instead, he looks at you in a way you've never noticed he has. it makes your heart beat faster. it makes you forget to breathe in. you hiccup, he laughs, and suddenly you two feel at ease again.
then, he reaches for your hand.
gently, he intertwines your fingers together. you gulp, unsure if you should say something or move... you figure not to. instead, you lay there and stare at your ceiling. jimin does the same.
in a split moment, you hold your breath. you didn't expect this. neither did he. but it happens. he says something that changes everything between you two forever. from friends to lovers; in between is romance.
this moment is your in-between.
this is romance.
"to love and to be loved," jimin breathes, "... is to be with you."

hi I just wanted to say your tags on the gaster poll posts are so correct yessss (always enjoy your takes just in general). thank you for being one of the seemingly very few people out there who also believes there's no way the timeline works for gaster and alphys to have been colleagues. however, him haunting her benevolently is something I'm 1000% here for <3 (also I hope your finals went well and you get to have a nice relaxing break!)
HII HELLO HI im glad you like them!!! knowing you read these motivates me to keep being Absolutely Very Normal About Him on the internet
personally it's less of a believing thing and more of a come on it's written right there thing, but since we're here.
Tumblr media
behold! dingus timeline. (and the hottest of takes with freshly baked personal headcanons otherwise what am i doing)
Not a skeleton?
Isn't 201X too early?
Indeed, not a skeleton, but rather, some guy. Something about how monster's bodies are manifestations of their SOUL, and him oddly resembling a strange looking man does well to represent his insatiable curiosity and love for creating. (things humans are known for in a better light)
On the other hand, you will be pleased with how fascinated he is by "FLESHLINGS AND THEIR CALCIUM DEPOSITS".
And then they fucking died.
201X is the year the first human fell into the underground, and shortly after, the royal family has moved to New Home. This means some decent exploration of the cavern has already been made. Scientists could very well already have been working on optimizing life underground, with special attention to the large and ever growing new capital.
My idea? As this idiot has been aiding exploration with his antics, Gerson was the one to appoint him to Asgore. Something about his talent with turning garbage into non-garbage. With a little patience and getting familiar with his odd manerisms, it was not too long until he got to be the prince's weird godfather.
Cracking already?
And everyone was devastated, mainly the close family. Not only that, but amidst your mourning, the one couple responsible for your unrealistically high standards for romance just divorced. Is love even real anymore. You eat ants with your cereal and your work consists mainly of convenience improvements and absolutely nothing groundbreaking. What's the point of breaking that pesky barrier again? Child murder? Come on.
That's the Wingdings PATIENCE and BRAVERY encountered in their adventure. Dear god, you're lame. Aren't you some kind of genius? Get yourself together! And together he got his self, now, he has children to look after. Surely there must be some other way. He must stop coming up with new flavours for chips and find some other way.
... Dear god, the King is going to kill them.
BONES and DT
Listen. He's old. You got your wrinkles, he's got his cracking. What? You meant to point out some major event of injury must have been responsible for his current state of deformity? Well, he's old AND heartbroken. That's a direct blow to the SOUL, okay.
Jokes aside (kind of), doing any lasting damage to a monster is quite difficult given their magic forms can easily be healed through, well, magic. They can, however, eventually "fall" (wink wink) and dust away with age - which cannot, however, be fixed with magic.
With a little determination however ...
Something about the anomaly.
He found it, the other way. It was the bones all along, the so needed sustainance for channelling such a high concentration of that power. Well, not necessarily, but a boney structure will endure much more and last much longer than a meaty one. Also, it looks so cool.
You know this guy, he gets first dibs on any and all dubious substances that might or might not deal the last hit to the nail on his coffin dust urn(?). And when it all works out (dubious), he might as well play a little. What kind of things can he make? With the material properties of these calcified remains infused with his own magic, animated with determination.
Some new, powerful magic tricks?
A new kind of monster, maybe?
DARK, DARKER, YET DARKER.
There is a lot of interesting things one can do with isolated DT, aside from making bones rattle with life - for example, peeking onto the complex layers and ramifications of what composes reality. This is when the already kooky scientist grows a little mad; manic, if you will. This is the Wingdings sans was familiar with.
Time travel this, resets that, blah blah blah alpha timeline, the anomaly, the angel, the anomaly again, all things that only make sense to him and his illegible mess on the black board. The lack of detail is killing him, he needs to know what it is - what it does, why it does, how it does. Not to stop it, no, there is no stopping it.
Rather, an overwhelming need to understand it.
He falls somewhere in recent history, details of it left ambiguous. The shattering, combined with the amount of DT running in his magical... mathematical physiology, rendered all of his self but an espectator of his reality; confined to the code and unable to do anything but watch, powerless before the nature of his very being, like a corrupted program.
It is all rather frustrating, besides the burden that is coming to terms with simply not existing anymore, watching was pretty much all this research was and now ever will be. That is, until something interacts with him. It is different from the tragic prince, whom no matter how much DT he's accumulated, he is just as confined to this world's rules as other elements. Not this one, not the force from beyond. Not "YOU".
He makes it a mission to reach out, despite the limits of the code, to give away bits and pieces of him and see if you bite. But not too much, he's seen how you tend to exhaust a world for knowledge, something he can oddly sympathize with. I mean, what will you do once you find everything? One cannot fully know a person.
Maybe in another world, prophetized by a cute, little white dog. A much better world for everyone, without so much as war or disease, his greatest creation yet. And he could invite you to it, to experience bewilderment, to be reminded of wonder. If it could even help you, wherever you are, to deem your own world worth of partaking ... then the experiment was a success.

Being Their Boss | Headcanons
Summary: How Kaeya, Scaramouche, and Alhaitham treat you as their higher-up.
Notes: SFW. Fem!Reader. Platonic with a hint of romance. Scaramouche is mean in his because he's a brat, but that's why we love him.
Tumblr media
Kaeya
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⟡ He has immense respect for you. You take great pride in your position, and you work yourself to the bone to not only meet, but to surpass everyone's expectations. And you do so without a word of complaint. Your job isn't easy, but you still manage to make it look effortless.
⟡ You don't really know when to quit, and that's why Kaeya is always there to reel you back in. He's had plenty of experience dealing with workaholics thanks to Jean, so don't think any of your little tricks will fool him. He's going to make sure you get the proper rest you need and deserve, no matter what.
⟡ That being said, on many occasions, Kaeya has walked into your office to find you fast asleep on top of a pile of papers. He'll softly sigh at the display before removing his coat and gently draping it over your sleeping form, bidding you a whispered goodnight.
⟡ He lightly scolds you the next day for working too hard, but he's careful to not overstep himself. You're his superior, after all. You have a lot more on your plate than he does, and ultimately, you also have more authority. That won't stop him from worrying about you, though.
⟡ If you'll allow him, Kaeya likes to treat you after a long day of work. Arm in arm, he'll whisk you along to the Angel's Share, reassuring you that all drinks are on him. How could he let his kind, dependable boss pay the check on a night out?
⟡ Maybe it's due to the alcohol, but Kaeya's heart skips in his chest as he watches you finally shed your cool persona for a more relaxed and carefree one. With your head thrown back, you fill the tavern with your infectious laughter, only stopping when you need to take a moment to breathe. It's hilarious and endearing at the same time. Kaeya's just glad to see that you're still able to enjoy yourself every once in a while, the thought of work far off from your mind.
⟡ He might always be down to have some drinks, but rest assured, Kaeya's always willing to forgo a night out if you need some extra help. He'll fulfill any order you give him, and that's not just because you're his superior. He genuinely admires you. Boss or not, he's at your beck and call. All you need to do is say the word.
⟡ However, he eventually figures out that there's something more to his unwavering loyalty to you. A couple of drinks and prodding from his brother brings the truth out into the light, and now the Cavalry Captain has an entirely new problem on his hands…
Tumblr media
Scaramouche
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⟡ It doesn't matter if you're Scaramouche's superior. He doesn't take orders, especially from a weakling like you. 
⟡ He just can't stand you. Every time he looks at you, he wonders what on earth the Tsaritsa was thinking when she left you in charge of the Harbingers. What skills do you possess that he doesn't? What reputation or status do you have that could possibly rival his? He doesn't know, but the Tsaritsa's words are final, so he has no choice but to accept you as his…boss.
⟡ So Scaramouche purposely tries to do everything he can to ruin your day. Why? He doesn't like you, and that's reason enough. He'll be extra snappy towards you or leave you with mountains of his own unfinished work for you to complete. He pulls out all the stops to let you know that you're not welcomed, and he won't be satisfied until you give up.
⟡ Or, at least, that's what he likes to tell himself. Somehow, he finds his feet taking him to your office not to annoy you, but to simply talk with you. He doesn't even realize how friendly he's being until he's already deep in conversation. He'll send a scowl your way, but by then he's just not in the mood to start anything, so he opts to make an abrupt exit.
⟡ Is it so strange that his thoughts often flicker back to you during the day? He nearly smiles when imagining what expression you'll wear the next time he irritates you. Sometimes you're unbothered by his mischief, but other times you can't hold back the exasperated look on your face. Your reactions only make him all the more eager to see what side of yourself you'll show him next.
⟡ It doesn't even occur to him that he's becoming fond of you until Childe says it, and now Scaramouche has a whole other reason to be agitated by you.
⟡ Seriously, do you think you can just nonchalantly schmooze your way into his good graces like that? Not a chance. This fondness is nothing but an enjoyment of your daily misery brought on by himself.
⟡ That's what he thinks anyways, but his rosy cheeks and upturned lips—phenomena that occur only in your presence—say otherwise. 
⟡ He once swore off giving into human feelings, but with you in the picture, it looks like he's doomed to experience the unfortunate circumstances of love.
Tumblr media
Alhaitham
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⟡ Honestly, he’s just glad that you were picked as the replacement for the Grand Sage instead of him. He’s not cut out to be a leader, and honestly, he’d rather have the extra time to conduct research as he pleases. That being said, Alhaitham values your opinion. There’s a reason the sages specifically chose you to fill this role, so he expects a lot from you. He’s confident that you can live up to the task.
⟡ You’re also one of the few people Alhaitham can tolerate. You’re not nosy like Kaveh or entitled and arrogant like many of the other scholars. All you’re interested in is doing your job well, and that earns you extra favor from him. 
⟡ He’ll even go out of his way to help you with your projects, reminding you that he’s always available if you need his help in particular. He’ll also join you in conversation, thoroughly interested in whatever topics you bring to the table. Out of everyone in the Akademiya, you’re the only one who comes closest to understanding how he thinks. Maybe that's why he doesn't particularly mind spending time with you.
⟡ Alhaitham doesn't tolerate anyone bad mouthing you, and he is always the first one to come to your defense. “Do you really think [Name] was appointed Grand Sage by mere accident? Her skills are unparalleled, and she certainly doesn’t question the knowledge and authority of her fellow sages, unlike you.” 
⟡ Alhaitham also just appreciates your work ethic and devotion to your studies. He welcomes your intellectual banter, and he even goes so far as to seek out your opinion on certain matters. He always makes sure to always take your thoughts into consideration, even if he has a different perspective.
⟡ But up until this point, he hasn’t been sure of how to refer to you. Are you his friend? His colleague? Simply his boss? Is he afraid to put a label on you because you’re his superior, or is there something else keeping him from finding that definitive answer?
⟡ “Of course you wouldn’t understand how you’re truly feeling, considering you know absolutely nothing about beauty and romance, so let me spell it out for you. You like her, a lot. It’s so obvious it almost makes me feel pity for you…almost.”
⟡ When Kaveh’s words finally settle in his mind, Alhaitham realizes he's been blind to the truth. After all this time, it never even dawned on him that his feelings towards you could possibly be anything more than admiration. His heart uncharacteristically flutters in his chest, and now he spends many nights lying awake, wondering what he should do now.
⟡ “Perhaps my next topic of research should include the matters of the heart. I want to find out if what I feel towards [Name] is something truly unique, and, perhaps…something even beautiful.”

Hello, I saw that your requests were open and I recently discovered your blog and... O sir. I love your way of writing, thank you for doing this beautiful work and sharing your magic with the words.
I would like to ask you for something fluff and very loving to our star warrior Din Djarin. Maybe you could do something with the song "She", by the singer Dodie. I think what the song expresses would be just what Din would feel when falling in love.
If this isn't what you usually write or you don't like the idea, that's okay. It serves me well just to let you know what a great writer you are.
I'm sorry if I've expressed myself badly or you don't understand anything I've said, English is not my first language. Thank you for your attention.
Thank you for this adorable message, you have explained yourself really well, never ever apologise for speaking in your second language!
Also this is so strange because I loved this song so much when I was younger and haven’t listened to it in years, you just reminded me of it, so thank you!!
And yess I totally agree, even though Din is so quiet I feel like it’s just by choice and he would have such a way with words and be so poetic when he falls in love with you.
She
Tumblr media
Pairing: Din Djarin/The Mandalorian x f!reader
Warnings: This is an 18+ blog but this story does not contain any specifically explicit content. Fluff, unrequited love, yearning, forbidden-ish romance, and sadness.
Word Count: 1.1k
You shouldn’t be looking at her like that. The Mandalorian scolds himself.
You had convinced him to let you and Grogu take a walk on this quiet planet, with his protection, of course. After grumbling, he finally agreed. He rarely had the strength to deny you anything you asked him for.
He leans against a tree, at the edge of the meadow, and as much as he tries, he can’t tear his eyes away from your beautiful form. A flowing white dress surrounds you, picking up grass stains around its hem as you twirl in the field with Grogu in your arms. You lift him and throw him, and he giggles and gargles in his own little language. It’s not wrong to simply admire her. He reassures himself. Not when she is just so nice to look at.
Sometimes, in moments like these, Din thinks the maker put you in this galaxy just for him and Grogu. As he watches you play with the child, his heart swells. sunlight catching you and making your eyes glint, goosebumps prickling your bare arms when a breeze runs through the atmosphere. Yes, he could live in these moments forever and never feel any obligation towards anyone or anything else. He yearned to be able to take you into his clan.
You must have called his name a few times before he snaps out of his trance, because you are looking at him inquisitively.
"Sorry, cyare, what was it?" He says, walking towards you.
He is the first Mandalorian you have ever met. You don't understand any of his mother tongue, and he knows that. You understand his nicknames for you are terms of endearment just because of how softly he says them. You don't think you have heard him call you by your name in weeks, always cyare, mesh'la, cyar'ika, ner kar'ta.
"I wondered if you would dance with me, Din."
Having closed the distance between you, he takes you in, the shy smile that you are wearing makes him want to drop to his knees before you. He listens carefully and he hears it too, soft music drifting towards you from the nearby village.
Grogu is on the floor now, head barely visible bobbing above the over-grown grass. He runs around your feet and circles your legs as he chases a butterfly.
You are looking down at him, watching with adoration. Din is sure he wears the same look on his own face, but the object of his gaze is you. He thanks himself for his helmet. His expression would give everything away in an instant, and he knows that can never happen. He would never tell you. He could never say a word.
He hears three or perhaps four string instruments playing together. The sound travels through the wind and envelopes the pair of you in this tender moment. He wishes that you might reserve this side of you for him but the truth is you are full of this same warmth and gentleness towards everyone, it is just your nature.
You reach a small hand out and he takes it in his large, gloved one. Then he changes his mind, and lets go of you again. You seem disappointed but then you gasp as he removes his gloves.
"Din, you don't have to-"
"I want to." He responds simply.
You don't question him further. After all, you don't really understand much of his religion, only fragments from what he chooses to share. You know he can't show you his face but you're not sure what the rule is about skin in general. You don't think he would break the rules for you, as he is disciplined and pious. And yet, the touch of his hand on yours still feels forbidden.
For him, it shoots electricity up his arm and spreads heat to every corner of his body, heart, and soul. He couldn't have imagined how soft and warm your skin would be, and yet it feels entirely natural to touch you. He wants to explore the feeling of every patch of skin on your body from the soles of your feet to the top of your forehead, with his hands, and his lips.
He steps closer to you until there is barely an inch of space between your two torsos. Your frame is inviting, whilst his is cold and dominating, a wide plate of beskar which conceals well what hides beneath it, his heart, which is yours in its entirety.
You sway gently to the music. He is stiff at first but eventually joins you in motion, pushing you away from him to spin you around, which makes your face light up. As he does this, the scent of your hair washes over him as you whip round. You taste of childhood comforts like birthday cake, and story-time, and fall. He thinks to himself. You taste like the galaxy's sweetest fruits, like apple juice and peach.
But to you, he thinks, I must taste of nothing at all.
He yearns to give himself to you. To remove every piece of armour that separates him from you. To allow you to know him. To prove to you that a beating heart and a warm-blooded man did live within this cold suit of armour.
But even if he could do any of this, he knows you wouldn't have him. You would marry someone with a soul as sensitive as yours. Someone who could make you their muse. A poet, or an artist, someone who could paint you in a picture and ensure your memory was eternal. You wouldn't have him. A hunter. A killer.
You continue to twirl in the grass, Grogu now clawing at the hem of your dress, wanting to be lifted and join the pair of you in a dance for three. She, Din thinks, she means everything to me.
And so, he plays along. He brings you gifts back from nearly every hunt. He dances with you when you ask. but he knows you are not truly his. That you can’t and won’t be. As much as it aches to admit this to himself, it feels oddly good to hurt. The pain in his chest when he thinks of how your time together will soon end is what he considers to be proof that the love he feels for you is real.

Virgin Blood
Tumblr media
Astarion x fTav • E/M rating • 18+ • Act 1
1.4k words
Smut, porn without plot, kissing, fingering, bloodplay, virign reader, Astarion being a kind and gentle boy, unsure/reassurance
Premise: Tav is sheltered royalty (based of one of my MANY Tav's romancing Astarion) taking the leap with our boyy at the Tiefling Party.
This has been lingering in my drafts for so long; it needs to be posted. Drabbled many, never posted.. so please enjoy my inaugural tumblr smut - how fitting that Astarion's my first.
A/N Tried to write this like the Narrator is reading it to you.. anyone else able to hear the person's voice in their head? It's wild that some of y'all can't 👀 please let me know if I've missed any tags/warnings 💜🍆
_____________________________
With Vampiric, Elven fluidity, he hooks his leg under her own, parting her sensitive flesh to the night air. She bites her lip and begins to tremble, not just against chill of the night air but with the finality of her decision.
Tav's brow twitches and draws together, as a thousand thoughts swarm her mind, each new concern layered upon the other. A cacophony of voices buzz in her brain, painfully rising with every inch his hand moved towards her delicate, unplucked garden.
"Astarion?" Tav breathes shakily, trying and failing to rid her voice of worry.
"Yes, love?" He lilts softly as he gazes upon her naked and vulnerable form in the silvery moonlight.
Unsure of which question screams loudest in her head, Tav wills her bottom lip not to tremble.
"Will it hurt?" She whispers, failing miserably at keeping her eyes from filling.
His expression tenses, then relaxes as he cocks his head to the side, "Yes.. but only for a moment." He assures her, his eyes full of understanding.
Tav swallows and lets out a tight breath, both appreciating and hating his honesty.
"Your body will resist the intrution at first," he explains, bringing his hand from her inner thigh and raising it to cup her cheek, "your Hymen is there to protect you but gives up quite easily when coercied, especially by one as talented as me." His smile curls into a confident smirk, then it falls.
"There may be blood." He says matter of factly, Tav's eyes widen with fear, "not always, but it's a possibility," he rakes his fingertips against the roots of her hair, pushing it back and away from her face, sending small jolts of electricity through her scalp, "the losing of one's virginity isn't quite as fun for a woman."
He thumbs the worry lines that tighten at her brow till she wills them to ease under his cool touch. Tav grants him and herself a small smile.
"But I promise you," he begins, trailing his delicate hands down across her body, "Faithfully," his thumb catching her bottom lip, gently parting them, "That I shall make this as painless," his splayed palm glides down her sternum, playfully grazing the inner slope of her breasts, "and pleasurable as possible."
His touch ends just above her public bone. Her breath hitches as her body arches subconsciously to his touch. He props himself up on one elbow and presses a kiss to her lips.
"Do you trust me?" He asks, staring wholly into her soul with his piercing red eyes.
What breath is left in her lungs releases as she nods, "Yes."
Astarion smiles, then snakes his head into the crook her of neck, inhaling deeply. Tav tilts her head to grant him access out of pure instinct. He groans sensuously, the sound and feeling sending shudders of excitement through her.
"You smell amazing. Ever since I tasted your blood, you've taken over.. over every thought and fantasy my new freedom now allows," his graceful hand caresses over her mound, peering deeper and parting her embarrassingly slick folds.
Tav's nipples harden painfully as pleasure ripples through her body and shakes a gasp free from her throat.
Astarion's breath gives out slightly and she feels it against her taut neck but he recovers from his lapse of composure with finesse, his fingers expertly exploring the wetness between her legs.
"I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this." He groans into her ear.
Tav's hips twitch and buck of their own volition as Astarion gets to work, lavishing his attentions on her sweet and sensitive rosebud. The noise in her head falling away, the worries of the consequences of her actions this evening no longer causing her alarm.
"Do you like that, my darling?" He asks, his cheek pressed against her jawbone.
Tav nods, unable to form words. She's never experienced anything like this before. She's touched herself in the darkness of her chambers once the castle has gone to sleep but nothing in her nocturnal exploration of herself has ever come close to this.
His middle fingers coaxing her entrance in broad languid strokes, as his thumb flits over her clit in exquisite rhythm. His other hand softly tracing lines over her face and hairline, soothing her.
"Tell me." He whispers against the flesh of her neck.
She manages some garbled nonsense spliced with her moans as the pressure between her thighs builds.
A sweet, torturous ecstasy starts to fill her senses, seeping into every mental wound and insecurity she's been plagued with during her short human life.
Every empty word from her father, every cruel interaction with her step-mother, every royal duty, every expectation, every moment of her life planned down to the minute.
This wasn't the plan, this wasn't supposed to be the way she gave herself to someone. It wasn't her wedding night, it wasn't to some far off Prince, it wasn't to produce an heir.
It was.. freeing. It was.. for pleasure. It was.. dirty and erotic. It was..
"Tell me." He whispers against her, earnest this time, his breathing picking up speed too, as her orgasm quickly towered over the two of them.
"Yes, Astarion. It feels.. please.. Mm.. I.. can't.. I-," she tries to form words but struggles with clear thoughts. Her orgasm consuming her now, pulling her under and taking her over.
"Don't fight it, love. You want to come, you want to let go. Tell me how much you want to cum for me." He whispers against her, teeth grazing.
Tav tries to voice how wonderful she feels to him, how incredible he is and how much she wants this but a scream of pleasure dies in her throat as she comes hard around just the tips of his fingers.
"Ahhh.. ahhhh.. Astarion!" She finally manages as she falls apart in his embrace. Her hand shoots to the back of his head, grasping a handful of his hair, while other grips onto the forearm of the hand feeding her this pleasure, willing more of it.
She feels it slip deeper inside her, stroking her and fanning the flames of her orgasm higher. A jolt of pain shocks her and she cries out but it only adds to the ecstasy she feels as a second intense wave tears through her from deeper within. Astarion humphs out a strangled moan as his body holds her close, riding her orgasm like a lighthouse through a storm.
Writhing and jerking like a possessed beast, making sounds of pure abandon she has only ever heard from secret lovers in the royal gardens after dark. She gladly endures the powerful torrent of her climax, with Astarion to guide her, until her body is spent and exhausted on the forest floor.
There they lie in silence for a few moments, only the noise of their ragged breathing and the gentle sound of wind through the trees.
After several stunned moments, she feels Astarion's fingers slowly peel from inside her, the sensation strange and unfamiliar.
Tav finally blinks her eyes back into focus to see Astarion's fingers and palm coated in glossy, red blood.
Immediately feeling hideously embarrassed, she looks to him to apologise but pauses at the hunger in his eyes. His jaw locked tight as he bites together, keeping himself contained.
"Are-are you alright?" Tav asks uncertainly.
He doesn't answer, he simply stares at his bloodied hand, the muscles of his jaw flexing.
"I've.. I've seen this hundreds of times; the last blood of a Virgin but I've never been able to.. taste it." He swallows leaving his mouth agape. His eyes transfixed hungrily on his coated fingers, "Cazador would never let me experience it."
Tav looks on as the viscose mixture of her pain and pleasure slowly trails down his fingers, to dance across the back of his hand and pool in the crux of his palm.
A hot tumble starts in the pit of her aching belly and flushes up to the heady whirl of her brain. The way he looks so hungrily at the juices of her inner most part has her throat suddenly dry.
He's spoken of tasting her, her blood, but never like this.
Feeling bolstered from her sexual escapade Tav bites her lip and croons, "Cazador's not here. You're free to do whatever you'd like."
Astarion looks at her and his gaze pins her in place. Dark, hungry, wild eyes greet her. Sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight, begging to taste her.
"You're absolutely right," he smirks and flourishes his hand to his mouth, taking a pause to glance back at her, tilting his head and gesturing his fingers, "To your good health."

week of february 11th, 2024
these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)
aries: mars into aquarius makes you (more of?) a genius. really! but you can't expect to just know everything all at once. little downloads find their way into your brain without you knowing how you know them but it doesn't change the fact that you know. not everyone will listen, but at least you know.
taurus: this extremely aquarian week puts your reputation and public image into focus. it may clash with the way you actually intend to present yourself or the way that you see yourself. if you find that's the case and you're not happy about it, it is safe to make changes to either arena, although uranian involvment does mean things not go quite according to plan. ultimately it ends up in your favor most likely anyway.
gemini: air sign vibes continue to increase dramatically this week. it's especially aquarian so ideally your focus is on haute intellectual pursuits; the mental equivalent of junk food and tabloids is all well and good but it simply won't suffice this week.
cancerians: if you've been wanting to try your hand at the occult or something that is a bit socially taboo, this week is the right time for it. especially by the weekend, but you could start early and build up. alternatively pay off debts, take out loans if necessary, invest, etc. if that suits you!
leo: if pluto entering aquarius did a number on your partnerships, increasingly aquarian vibes help you get back out there, and/or heal things, and/or come to terms with how much you love being on your own, or whatever the case may be; there's also a good chance of new love or commitment entering your life in the next three or four weeks.
virgo: if you haven't already started such a process, tear down your entire daily routines, diet, and/or exercise plans and rebuild. don't forget either step! it isn't going to work to try to start new on a pre-existing foundation, and it isn't going to work to tear something down that isn't working without replacing it with something better.
libra: the steadily (actually rapidly) increasing air vibe does a lot for your fun and romance. don't stifle it with obligations and responsibilities; do what you absolutely have to do, and then do more if it lights you up truly, but other than that, do what brings you bliss this week. especially if that involves any form of flirtation.
scorpio: you're one of those lucky signs with, arguably, two chart rulers. they are mars and pluto, and they meet up with each other in your 4th house, aquarius, today. if you have planets or angles in the first few degrees of scorpio or last few of libra, this can be quite challenging and i suggest being very careful to avoid accidents for possible violence, but for the most part this can be empowering to you, especially if you channel the vibes into your physical home as a sanctuary or, in this case, more of a lair.
sagittarius: if you can participate in any sort of positive activism or a cause you sincerely care deeply about, this is the best time to do it, especially the closer to home you can keep it. at the same time, be cautious as accidents and even violence are probably more likely under these influences.
capricorn: the world order's shift from earth to air really finalizes and hits home this week. you're out of the spotlight in some way, but it probably suits you. maybe it is more like escaping from a search light.
aquarius: yet more ingresses into your sign are poised to occur. it is mostly beneficial for you. the only caveat is that when mars conjoins pluto, you will be more prone to bodily or mental harm or injury. so go the extra mile to care for your corporeal form and enjoy the aura of magnetism you're to be granted.
pisces: when things pile into aquarius, the sign right before yours, for most people it's a simply aquarian time. for you though, since that's your 12th house, it's... almost piscean. be sure to do your shadow work, dream practices, and any other suitable 12th house activities this week with both mars and venus joining the party in that part of the sky.

Yan!Satoru and Yan!Suguru!! (>ω<)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: reqs are open!!
CW: Overbearingness, stalking, lying, gn!reader, murder
Word count: 450
Tumblr media
Yan!Satoru who is overbearing towards you all the time, sorcerer or not, you're his (not really responsible for) responsibility! He's the strongest, not the wisest, and the most handsome! Why do you want to listen to someone that isn't him?? Satoru is always sticking his nose where it isn't supposed to be! Your house is going to be inspected by the inch (to know your interests and more about you), your wardrobe is going to be judged thoroughly, just in case you need an entire new one.
Yan!Suguru who, though not as overbearing as Satoru, still seems to be everywhere. You're going to the grocery shop to help your mom? No worries, he can help you carry everything, no need to hurt your precious fingers with those heavy plastic bags. You're planning to travel to [insert random place in japan], that place is crawling with cursed spirits (no, it isn't)! Let him go with you! But like Satoru, Geto will be inspecting everything you like or not, even keeping a prized list for events he can give you a gift on.
Yan!SatoSugu who have some kind of love rivalry, it's not one where they hate each other, just an one upping competition or a 'who can find more stuff about Y/N than the other' competition. (it was a tie, they're both stalkers.) They also both spoil you to no end, their jobs as sorcerers pay them well, and who else to be their reason to blow money off their wallets? Clothes, expensive dinners, gifts, anything you could imagine.
Yan!SatoSugu who intimidates anyone who even tries to start any relationship with you. Who wouldn't be intimidated by a sorcerer who is quite literally the honored one, and the other who can somewhat par with said honored one? With non-sorcerers, though, it'd be a little more difficult. No worries! Even if they continue because they aren't intimidated by some teens in weird uniforms, Satoru's and Suguru's powers aren't for show! Though, they won't deal with them if you're there, no need for you to see the grotesque form as what Satoru calls them; 'unwanted attention seeker' took!
Yan!SatoSugu who met you at their favorite cafe, seeing your warm smile greet them when the doorbell rang. Honestly they felt like they were in a J-Drama Romance! And how you recognized them when they visited again (who wouldn't with Satoru's blue eyes that stare into your soul are…beautiful?), they never felt butterflies in their chest like this. Satoru finally got the courage to ask for your number after 10 minutes of processing with Suguru, which you happily gave. And that's practically how the friendship (on your end) started.
