Jade West x Male Reader
Tags: Tied-Up, Oral, Vaginal, Anal, Titty-Fucking
Request: Can you do reader is Beck little brother who have crush on Jade? Beck decided give Jade for reader birthday by tying Jade to bed so reader can use her until reader satisfied.
Tumblr media
XXX
Admittedly, you aren’t the most subtle person.
Your Brother’s girlfriend, Jade West, is incredibly hot. Her attitude, though bothering to others, makes her so much sexier in your eyes. She drew your gaze so often, you’d think they were literally glued to her sexy body.
Despite all this, you naively hoped that no one would notice.
The note on the table says differently.
It’s your birthday, and no one is home. It’s not as if you didn’t expect this, you were told a week ago that your parents are going to be out of town on “some business,” while Beck is busy with some school project. So, you also expected there to be a note wishing you, “Happy Birthday,” as well. That was in your room this morning.
But it was only signed by your parents; Beck’s name, nowhere.
With the expectation of a card from him, you open it. And your heart stutters to a stop.
Beck knows. He knows about you lusting after his girlfriend.
“Fuck,” You mutter, not wholly focused.
“Y/n.” It began. “I know we haven’t spent as much time together recently, what with Sikowitz taking up most of my time. Even though we barely hang out, I have noticed you looking at Jade. A lot.”
Though he isn’t here, you can feel the emphasis on “A lot.”
Skimming through it in a haze, you blink at the last part.
“Despite that, you’re still my Brother. And since it’s your birthday, I wanted to give you a special gift. It’s in your room.”
With eyes flicking from the page to said room, you set the note down. Nervous steps echo out. You stand before your door, staring at the handle. Reaching out, you grasp it and open the door; exposing yourself to the Best Gift Ever.
“Finally.” Jade rolls her eyes. “I’ve been waiting for hours, hurry up and enjoy your gift.”
Her tone says she’s annoyed, but the slight smirk tells you differently. Despite this, you’re dumbstruck.
‘Jade West is in my room. My Crush is in my room! And she’s naked!’ You think.
Your gaze roams over her naked body. Her pale skin, her bare breasts, her pussy. It’s all here, for you. Just then you notice the cloth bindings keeping her tied to your bed, leaving her outstretched.
“Hey!” Jade yells at you.
You jump and once she has your attention, she continues, “I’m your gift. Beck and I already talked, so hurry up and use me!”
You feel a smile break out on your face. Despite her tone, a tingle runs through you. Throwing off your clothes, you get on the bed, kneeling next to her head.
She looks up at you expectantly.
“Uh.” You are suddenly struck with nerves as if this is a test.
Jade makes a face but she opens her mouth, leaning towards your cock.
You start but quickly lean forwards. Her breath is warm as she takes your cock into her mouth. Shuddering, you let out a breath and grabs some of her hair. Giving her direction, Jade slowly bobs her head along your length; taking more and more into her mouth. You start thrusting into her mouth and she raises a brow.
Suddenly, the feeling of this being real takes over and you’re emboldened. Your grip tightens in a moment and in the next, Jade is gagging. Leaning over her, you force more of your cock down her throat.
“Glghk!” Jade gags, her eyes screwed shut.
You pull back. Letting go of her hair, Jade catches her breath as her head hits the bed.
Taking a breath, she is interrupted by your cock once more. Holding yourself up with your arms, you slam down into her mouth, over and over again. Your balls slap against her chin; spit spewing from the corners of her mouth. Though she’s choking, you don’t stop, nor does it seem like she’s trying to get you to.
Jade grips the bindings around her wrists.
“Glghk! Glghk! Glghk!”
Slamming down, you grind against her face, letting her gagging and coughing bring you more pleasure. Just as you’re about to cum, you pull out.
Jade coughs, spit flying as she tries to catch her breath. Her breasts heave with each breath taken. In no time, you move down her shuddering body. You raise one of her legs and sink into her warmth.
“Ahh!” You let out a long moan as her hot cunt takes you.
“Really? Can’t even give me a seco- Ah!” Jade snips, but cuts off at your sudden thrust.
Jade is thrown into a fit of panting as she tries not to moan.
Pounding into Jade, you don’t stop any moans from escaping, letting them ring out into the empty house. Leaning down, you take one of her nipples into your mouth, sucking and biting. Jade bits her lip as a moan slips through.
Grinning, you grab and fondle her tits as you fuck her. Her walls tighten around your cock and your thrusts go erratic for a moment. Letting out breathy moans, you slam into her and cum.
With your head on her chest, you lay there, catching your breath as Jade does the same.
As you raise your head, you pull out.
Jade, with hair sticking to her forehead, speaks, “Now untie me.” As if it’s over.
You grab her hips and flip her onto her side. She yelps and is unsure what you're doing. Then you spread her cheeks and spit, just barely hitting her asshole.
“He-” She starts but grits her teeth. She already agreed to do anything.
“Ther-” She stops as her breath hitches as you rub spit-slickened fingers against her hole. “There’s lube over there!”
You stop and look over to where she nodded to. On your dresser, a bottle of lube. Leaping towards it, you grab it as Jade lets out a chuckle. Getting back onto the bed, you don’t bother with the cap, just taking it off and aiming for her asshole. But miss; spilling lube over her ass and your bed.
Grimacing, you throw the almost empty bottle away. Swooping the lube up with your hands, you go to rub it into her asshole but stop. Taking a whiff, you notice the lube has a fruity scent. You look over at the bottle, but Jade beats you.
“It’s flavored.” You look back at her. “It was Beck’s idea.”
Suddenly, a swell of emotion gathers in your chest, almost bringing you to tears.
‘My own Brother,’ You think. As if there was never any strain on your relationship, you feel so much love and thankfulness for his gift.
Your own brother. Your own brother gave you the chance to fuck your crush. And she’s his girlfriend.
Almost immediately, the antithesis of what you just felt, comes over you and you’re harder than you’ve ever been.
Staring at Jade’s ass, “Well, I can’t let this go to waste then.”
Slapping your palm full of lube onto her ass, Jade yelps. Running both hands over her ass, you spread the lube all over as you grab and maul her full ass. You try and move her onto her stomach and luckily the bindings are long enough to allow it.
Slipping your hands under her, you raise her delicious ass to your face. Tentatively, you do what you should have before, and taste the lube on her asscheek.
You freeze. It’s so fucking good. You’re not certain what the fruit is, but it tastes so good, you can't help licking it off Jade’s ass. Her small whines are music to your ears and as you move to her asshole, once your tongue delves into her, her moans are like heaven. You spread her cheeks, reaching further in, the taste of the lube, still on your tongue.
Jade shakes beneath your touch and you feel her juices cover your chest and likely the bed.
Pulling back, you take any lube left over and some spit and cover your cock in the mixture. Lining up, you give no warning before slamming into her.
Jade lets out a short pained scream. Clenching her jaw, she takes a given moment to control her breathing and try to relax. In that moment, you grip her hips and go still. Not for her, but because you almost cum. Reigning yourself in, you savor the nearly unbearable tightness of her asshole.
Pulling back, the thought that you’re fucking your brother’s girlfriend enters your mind and you slam back into her with more force than before. Jade lets out muffled moans into your bed as your cock pistons in and out of her.
“Fucking you feels so good, Jade!” You laugh. “But the thought that I’m fucking my Brother’s Girlfriend makes this so much better.”
Pounding her backdoor, you reach around and rub her clit making her scream as she squirts within seconds.
“Fuck Y/n! Fuck! Fuck me!” Jade screams, clenching the sheets.
Her ass bounces against your groin with every thrust. Your breath stutters and fill her ass with your hot cum.
In an erratic state, you flip her back onto her back, not even giving yourself time to breathe. You sandwich your cock between her breasts before finally taking a breath.
“You sure you got one more in you?” Jade asks cockily as if her chest isn’t heaving and her body is covered in sweat.
Clenching your jaw, you mush her tits together and fuck them. Within moments, you let out a yell and cum between her tits and on her face.
Grabbing the headboard of your bed, you stay in your spot, catching your breath as Jade calms hers.
After a moment, “Untie me.”
You look down at her, your cum lays on her lips and one of her eyes is screwed shut as more stops her from opening it.
“When I untie you, it means I’m done, right?” You ask breathlessly.
“Yup,” Jade says before catching the glint in your eyes.
She shudders as you grin. The rest of the day passes, but you don’t realize, too busy fucking Jade West, over and over again.
“Best gift ever,” You say the following day, after untying Jade.

A siren for Siren?!
I'm thinking angst with sailor Bradley. Leaving this very open-ended for you to take complete control. Can't wait to read the final product 🖤
Oh, Jay, this was such an interesting ask! Thank you for always being a great friend. I hope you enjoy:
The Call of the Sea:
Bradley stepped onto the deck of the aircraft carrier. It was an early foggy morning. Bradley was the only one on the deck. The carrier was currently sailing off the coast of Greece near some small islands.
He sighed and leaned against the railing of deck and looked out into the fog. He listened to the ship, breaking through the waves and the hum of the sea breeze. The sound of gulls overhead cut through through the air.
Suddenly, his ears perked up. Amongst the waves and wind and birds, Bradley heard something else. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and really listened. That's when he heard it.
A beautiful melody wormed its way into his brain. It sounded like a woman. Surely Bradley must be going crazy. It was far too early in the morning for anyone else to be up. Especially a singing woman.
But the longer he listened, the more he heard it. Haunting notes that drew him closer to the water.
It was like his brain was on auto pilot as he began to move from his spot on the top deck. His feet carried him down the stairs and through to corridors and moved of their own accord towards the edge of the carrier.
Each note drew him closer. It was as if the sea was whispering his name, telling him to jump into the water and let it swallow him up.
Bradley was dangerously close to the edge when someone called his name.
"Rooster?" Bradley shook his head and cleared the mental fog. He turned around and saw Jake staring at him with a look of confusion.
"What are you doing, man? Why did it look like you were about to jump off the carrier?" Jake asked him.
"I—I don't know Hangman, it was like—you're going to think I'm crazy." Bradley shook his head.
"Try me." Jake said as Bradley walked closer too him.
"I swear I could hear a woman singing. It was like she was calling my name. Telling me to jump." Bradley told him.
"Well, we are off the coast of Greece. Maybe those legends about sirens luring sailors to their death are true after all." Jake chuckled. Bradley chuckled along with him. "C'mon, let's get some food and some coffee in you to get you straight." Jake said as he slapped Bradley on the back. Bradley shot a final look over his shoulder before following him to the mess hall.
You heard their footsteps and voices fade away. You sighed before swimming back with your sisters to the island. "It almost worked." You told your sister Andria. She shook her head at you. "The sailors are almost too smart to fall for our songs now. They know so much about us. She tells you.
You and Andria had been swimming in deep water a few weeks ago when you'd spotted the large ship full of sailors. The one you would later learn was called Rooster stood out to you. He had golden brown curls and a body that would rival Adonis himself. You'd been following his boat ever since you'd laid eyes on him, waiting for the moment to make him yours.
You thought today was that moment, but alas, you were wrong.
"I overheard some of the others saying they would be docking today and going to the island. What if we traded our tails for our land legs and explored the town to see if you could find him?" You sister suggested.
"Oh, yes! Please!" You flipped and splashed. "Good. But remember, you must be back in the water before midnight, or you will lose your ability to change forever. Andria warned you. You shook your head, remembering what had happened to your middle sister. She'd not heeded the warning.
When she'd tried to come back to the water after a night in the village, she couldn't transform. She became a literal fish out of water. While she had loved land, Marissa was still a siren. Unable to return to her true form, she mourned herself to death and vanished in the sea foam.
Just as the sun crested over the horizon, you and Andria made your way onto a silent beach. You quickly swiped some clothes from a hanging line and some sandals from beside a door mat.
Soon, you were clothed in a sundress as blue as the water you came from. The two of you carefully explore the island. Thankfully, you both had a small bit of money that you and Andria had collected in passing from the beach, so you were able to enjoy some coffee at a cafe while waiting for your sailor to come ashore.
You'd immediately spotted him. You grabbed your sister by the hand dragged her through the streets following him. By late evening, he and his friends had made their way into a karaoke bar.
You took this as your opportunity to make your move. You dragged your sister to the stage with you to sing an ABBA song. As soon as you opened your mouth, his eyes were on you, he was was captivated by you.
After the two of you were done, he quickly came up to you.
"Excuse me, miss. Do I know you? You seem so—familiar." Rooster said as he met your eyes.
"No sir, I don't think we've met. I'm Y/N" You say to him. He tells you his name, but you already knew it.
His friend from this morning comes and starts talking to your sister.
Soon, you and Rooster or Bradley, as he had told you, were walking the cobble stone streets of the town, hand in hand, talking like old friends.
The two of you laughed and joked and shared with one another all kinds of things.
"You're so easy to talk to. I don't think I've ever met anyone like you." Bradley admitted to you. "Can I kiss you?" He asked as you leaned up against the white wall of an alleyway. You nodded. He smiled before craning his head down and sealing his lips over yours.
You sighed and melted into him as he deepend the kiss. You were content to stay there all night kissing him, but in the distance, you hear the church bells ring out. You quickly pulled away from him.
"Oh no! What time is it?" You asked him.
"It's 11:45. Why? Do you have a curfew I should be worried about?" Rooster joked with you.
You gasped as you looked all around you. You were deep in the heart of town. You knew you would have to run if you were going to make it back to the water in time.
"I—I have to go!" You exclaimed before taking off running.
"Wait!" Bradley cried out running after you.
Your lungs felt like they were on fire. You cursed your clunky legs. Your tail could carry you so much faster. You heard the bells chime again, letting you know it was five minutes to midnight.
You could see the water in the distance and heard your sister calling your name and splashing for you. Your feet had just hit the sand when someone grabbed your wrist and pulled you too them.
"Y/N. What are you doing?" Rooster panted out as you faced him. You could see the clock tower, you had three minutes to get back in the water.
"Bradley! You have to let me go. I have to get in the water before midnight." You told him, trying to push him away.
"What? Why?" He asked you. "Because—because I'm not human. I'm a siren." You confess to him. He looked at you, confused by your words.
You take a deep breath before humming your song to him.
"Oh my god. You're the voice I heard this morning." His eyes light up at the realization. Another minute ticked by.
"Yes. And if I'm not in the water before midnight, I'll never be able to go back." You tell him.
"What if you didn't. You could stay with me." He tells you eagerly.
"Bradley, a siren living without the water would be like you trying to live without flying in your big plane. Do you understand?"
He nods his head. "Will I ever be able to see you again?" He asks you as sorrow falls over his features.
"I don't know. But here, take this." You say as you unclasp your pearl necklace from around your throat. You place it in his palm and fold his hand over it.
"We may not see each other again, but every time you look out over the ocean, I want you to think of me." You smile at him with a tear in your eye.
He cups your face and kisses you just as the first toll of the midnight bell rings out.
You pull away from him and dive into the waves. Bradley watches you disappear into the water. He waits for what feels like an eternity.
But soon, he sees you pop out of the water and spalsh your tail at him.
He smiles and lets out a deep breath before watching you disappear in the sea once again.
He looks down at the necklace in his palm. He sighs and tucks it in his pocket before beginning his walk back to the carrier.
"Jake is never going to believe this." He mumbles to himself as he walks along the sand.
The moon reflected on the ocean, and a warm wind blew and twisted amongst the breeze, and Bradley heard your song, calling out to him once more.

Explaining my Departure
I've tried to focus on my writing but it hasn't clicked and every time I try to my mind comes back to this so I think I just need to get it out of my system before I can get anything of note done. But to do it I'm going to tell a story because of who I am, fundamentally, as a person.
A couple years ago, on twitter, I came across this writing podcast that billed itself as a community for all writers and got all this praise from people I was following for being super supportive of writers in general, and I checked them out and started following and interacting. Some months later they had a contest, in which writers were encouraged to upload a video of themselves reading a chapter of their book. The person with the most likes on their video won; I don't remember the prize, but I could see the numbers on my video and others and knew that I wasn't getting it. So when they had the live episode where they were going to announce the winner, I was there more to show support and cheer along with everyone than out of any expectation that my story would get mentioned; by this point, they had a few times called for people to share info on their books in replies, and had highlighted a few books each time, and to date mine hadn't been acknowledged, so that was what I expected.
But then they announced early in the episode that they were going to show a bit of each video that had been entered and give comment on the chapter, and I got kind of excited. It would be after they accomplished some other business, you know, put that stuff at the end so people watch the whole episode, so I spent the next hour curious what they would say about my story (since my book didn't have chapters as such, but rather short stories, I had read one of those). A big part of the conversation was on the nature of critiques, and the hosts went out of their way to talk for a little while about how obsessing about first lines was a bad method and no one respectable should judge a story by the first line.
They got to the chapters, hitting each one in the order it was originally submitted, and pretty quickly fell into a rhythm. For each video, they would play the first paragraph or so (roughly guessing by how it sounded), highlight something they liked about it, talk about how many likes it got, and then move on. Mine was in the latter half of the ones they went through. They played the first sentence and then immediately stopped it. "Does that first sentence hook you?" one host asked the other. "No, it doesn't," the second host replied, and they went straight to the next video. No listening beyond that, no further comment, nothing good or even neutral, no statement about how many likes it got. Just one statement that the first line didn't hook them, a criteria they had just condemned not a half hour earlier, and then jump ahead to the next. I thought maybe they were getting tired and wanted to speed things along so I watched the rest to see how they treated the remaining videos; every single one got the first paragraph or so, highlight something they liked about it, talk about how many likes it got, and then move on treatment.
I was hurt and angry. The lack of mention prior to that moment hadn't really bothered me, but now that they had finally acknowledged my work only to shit on it? That they broke their own standards just to insult my story and literally no one else's? I went back through our interactions to see if there was anything I did that may have caused offense to warrant such blatant and public disrespect and found nothing. I asked other people who were more emotionally aware than me and not connected to the situation to do so, and they found nothing. I debated for a week whether or not to bring it up, but ultimately decided that it wasn't worth it (just as it hasn't been worth it to name them here). The conclusion I drew was that this simply wasn't a place my writing was welcome, so I just left the community and went about writing my second book.
Now, I don't get much feedback on my books, but it is overwhelmingly positive. Having done more than one year of events now, I've had complete strangers excitedly returning to my table looking for the second book while raving about the one they bought the year prior. I get messages about how good the story is and demands that I hurry up and get the next book finished so they don't have to wait as long to continue. The bulk of negative feedback has been one of two things: people who told me it was too scary for them to finish, and that one podcast dismissing it out of hand. And what I learned from all of this is that it isn't my writing that's the problem (though there is, obviously, room for improvement and always will be), but finding the audience who will appreciate the stories I'm telling. It isn't worth my time to keep trying to find my place somewhere that doesn't have room for me. When a place makes it apparent that my stories will not get respect or traction there, it is better to take the hit and turn my attention elsewhere. I am slowly finding my people through this process, and I love every encounter with them.
Writeblr has shown itself to not be the place where I will find my people. I have spent years here literally giving my story away, tagging people who asked to be tagged in updates, engaging in the community to the best of my ability. I don't know if it's my story (genre? tone? style?) or myself (I can't keep up with tag games or the weekly events that seem to happen every single day now and I don't do visuals much), but I've tried, and it hasn't clicked. I have watched as mutuals write and reblog post after post about how we all need to be supporting one another and reblogging is the bare minimum around here and get praised for being so supportive of all the writers on the site while my story that I know is crossing their dashboards every single week day continue to get no likes, no reblogs, nothing. I've seen posts about how people aren't being ignored by the community, their posts just get lost in the noise, but that's bullshit. Every single post, literally hundreds of posts, from one specific person gets lost in the noise? No matter what time of day it goes up? Despite the lack of algorithm, despite doing everything everyone here says to do to break through the noise? Not one post gets through?
Don't fucking lie to me.
I'm not discouraged enough to stop writing, leave tumblr entirely, or stop trying to boost the stories I find on my dash. My stories will continue to get published, things will continue to go onto my blog for others to see and probably ignore, I'm still open to be on tag lists if people want me to see what they're doing; but Writeblr clearly isn't the place for my stories and it's exhausting and painful trying to find a place here. So I'm done trying to figure out how to connect with it. It isn't worth my time or energy to watch every attempt at connection fall flat anymore. I have stories to write and an audience to find. See you around.

2013
Cyrus Hugo 
Tumblr media
Everything finally made sense. The rivalry. The anger. That ongoing need for power. It all started with our family. 
“If you already knew everything from the beginning, then why wait so damn long to tell me?” Even though I was quite the savage while young many years ago, my heart still couldn’t understand why Eric didn’t just explain more of what he knew. 
“Like I said, years ago, you’d take down people on sight. Let’s just say that I wasn’t going to be one of your next victims.” Eric lowered his voice, trying to make another point.
"Wait, does that mean you started the turf war?” I narrowed my eyes and folded both arms again. 
“Yeah. How else was I gonna pull your attention away from everyone else on the planet? You would literally square up if somebody joked about Drew’s folks. No talk, just fighting.” Eric brought down this proverbial hammer.
“Close people are off limits.” Drew chimed in. “If you talk about my friends or family, consider Hell your home.” 
“Not everything can be solved with a punch.” Eric pointed between the two of us while strobe lights beamed overhead. On the other hand, Leo just kept shaking his head, disappointed 
“Says the same man who’s paid to fire bullets at point-blank range. At least that’s not our immediate reaction.” While still speaking to Eric, I defended myself, Drew, and Leo. 
“Did you ever stop to think about Bianca?” Changing the subject out of nowhere, Eric titled his head and my blood soon boiled this time around. 
“What are you talking about? What the hell did you do with her?” I asked, fuming. Enough was enough. 
“Nothin.’ Just know that if you don’t slow down eventually, she might end up getting hurt. I’ve only retaliated all this time to defend myself.” Eric had the nerve smirk at me from across the room. 
“Are you making threats?” I probed. 
“No threats. It’s a promise.” Eric stated his last case for the night before walking down nearby stairs to leave us all behind. 
_______
“Eric’s your brother, what the hell?” Days later, Bianca squinted while sitting across from me here at the club. 
“It’s crazy. Mom told me more just to ground everything for sure.” I shook my head for the millionth time that week. Too many questions raced in my mind of course. 
“Maybe you should sit down with Eric and finally talk about this.” Bianca offered another suggestion, but I cringed silently. 
“I still don’t understand why my father killed Underwood in the first place, but I’m not gonna risk anything else until Dad goes back to prison. He’s too powerful on the run.” I offered an answer, knowing that if I tried tracking Dad down again, there’d be hell to pay. 
“Now what?” Bianca asked. 
“I don’t know.” I whispered. 
“So, if you don’t mind me asking, what happened between your Mom and Underwood?”  Bianca folded both arms. 
“It’s complicated.” I kept the answer vague. 
“That’s fair. It’s all complicated. To be honest, what does Eric even want from you in the end?” Bianca sipped from this glass of champagne. On the house from me. 
“I don’t know, B. If it was revenge, my father would’ve already been dead by this point.” I handed out the truth. 
“Maybe Eric hasn’t taken down your father yet because he knows what’ll happen if you found out.” Bianca almost smirked, but stopped herself. 
B was right. If Eric took out Dad for good, our rivalry would immediately escalate. No matter how corrupt or absent my father had been time and time again, I’d still lose a parent. Regardless. 
“Thanks for the champagne.” Bianca lifted her empty glass, planning to leave. I stood up in return while she handed over the glass to one of these passing servers and said goodbye to Drew with another smile. 
“Leaving so soon?” I asked kindly. 
“I can’t get in your family’s way now. It’s not my place.” Bianca wanted to keep her distance, but I started to wonder if she moved away faster and because of me, not just the family issues. 
“Mom asked about you.” I spoke up again and Bianca turned her head to look at me. 
“That’s nice. Tell her that I said hello.” There was a smile on Bianca’s face, but that expression didn’t reach her pretty brown eyes yet. 
“You okay?” I asked the question with earnest. 
“Yeah, why?” Her brow furrowed. 
“Whatever else you want to say, say it. If nothing else, all of this shit helped me learn that life is much shorter than we think.” I answered back and stepped closer towards her. 
“I don’t know what you want from me, but maybe it’s time for me to stop visiting you. There’s still too much going on and I don’t want Eric to retaliate.” she whispered dangerously close to my lips, hitching between words. 
“I’ll protect you. Forever.” My voice lost its usual power, shrinking because of her time and time again. 
“Thank you, but I don’t need protection, Cyrus.” Bianca stepped back and I looked down to see the holstered firearm that sided on her left hip. 
“Glad you’ve defended yourself, but there’s a difference between one-on-one and heavier guarding. He’s got a full team of goons like mine looking out for anyone I know at this point.” I still cautioned her. 
“What am I supposed to do, then? Hide in the dark and wait until your funeral to come back out like it's hibernation or something? Let me help.” She kicked off this slight argument, but I knew better than to yell. 
“And risk getting you killed? Absolutely not.” I tried to put my foot down, but she wouldn’t let go of this conversation. 
“You put yourself at risk every night by running this club. What’s different about me?” B was pissed off now, and reasonably so. 
“You already have something to live for.” I revealed. 
“And you don’t?” Bianca went on. 
“My family is fucked up. Your parents have been married for decades and your sisters can literally accomplish anything that they want without ever breaking the law first.” I ranted, trying not to lose my temper at this point. 
“So you think we’re perfect.” Bianca probed and ended up stepping closer towards me again. 
“Yes.” I kept eye contact because there was no other choice while facing her. 
“No one is.” Bianca answered so quietly, I almost didn’t hear anything come from her this time. 
“I know, but all of you made it look so easy. Sometimes, I still wonder if I was ever good enough to be around you, Baby.” I slipped that term of endearment out of nowhere and hadn’t felt this vulnerable in quite a while, even after visiting Dad in prison for the first time. 
“You were always good enough for me. I only left because this turf war might’ve killed us both.” Bianca ignored that pet name and made another case. I couldn’t disagree at all. “Holding a grudge isn’t healthy. Let Eric stay bitter if he won’t heal on his own and rise above that chaos.” 
“I would’ve backed off years ago, but threats should be taken seriously and you know that we still can't get the cops involved.” I tried to piece logic as to why this “battle” has lasted for such a long time. 
“Damn. Even if you both turned yourselves in, there’s at least twenty-five years each on the table.” Bianca shuddered without even moving.
And yet, I knew that she couldn’t stand to look at me anymore tonight.

Dot might be my favourite Linked Universe Zelda... So I decided to draw her for the first time, and digitally to boot...
THIS TOOK ME 10 HOURS. But man, if I were the only one who liked it in the end I'd still call it worth it ✨

So I finally gave in and bought Encanto's Three Sisters book. (it wasn't even $10 if anyone was thinking about it)
And OH MY GOSH IT'S SO CUTE!!
I'm not even half done reading it, but there are already so many little things it talks about that aren't obvious (at least to me) from watching the movie.
For example, it clarifies that Antonio is just SO shy and quiet all the time, up until he gets his gift. All three sisters have thoughts regarding this that sum up to the idea that receiving your gift in the Madrigal family just helps you to be *more* yourself, and believe it helped Antonio open up.
Mirabel, much more often, and in thought, feels remorseful about not having a gift. Isabela views recieving your gift as a sort of qualifier for being a Madrigal, like you can't truly be an integrated member of the family until you have yours, but even then counts Mirabel as an exception.
And, man, I can't even TELL you... Poor Luisa!!! She's so busy and stressed and anxious all the time!!! During Antonio's day, she's sent to set up fireworks around back, but she has to clear the area of brush and leaves first, and then some of the foliage needs trimming, and she's spending the entire afternoon between chores and taking people's wagons and donkeys to the side of the house for the event, and she has to bring in seating and set up furniture and decorations, and Abuela TOLD her to put the piano in the courtyard, and THEN told her to take it upstairs, and she is literally just busy, busy, busy until her Mother calls her for the start of Antonio's ceremony, feeling out of the blue because Luisa didn't realize how much time had passed through all that. Two or three times she thought maybe someone wanted a hug and then actually it was another chore or a prank or something and she's just so disappointed.
Not to mention the following day; reroute the river, fix the leaning house, move the church to the left, actually back to the right, now find the donkeys... Of course we know those already, but then one of the donkeys literally pees on her shoe, and apparently someone wanted the plaza repaved and Alma VOLUNTEERS Luisa without the poor girl even being there for it.... Just give this girl a break and a hug! It's all she wants!
(She literally has the best hugs, this isn't even a theory, she mentions it like twice just to this point 😭)
Also, can I just mention the fact that Isabela made a daisy chain necklace for Mirabel on her 5th birthday? And a little flower crown for Luisa on hers, too, because she was stressed out?
Furthermore, Isa isn't portrayed quite so stuck-up as she appears in the first half of the movie. I'd like to think that this is just a matter of perspective and none of what we see her as is really how she is, because she's just so nervous and stressed... Like, she loves her sisters! But she genuinely feels so nervous about how her Abuela sees her, and to no particular fault she just thinks that the things Mirabel goes on about, like cracks in Casita's walls, are made up, and she even envies how much more useful a gift like super strength is compared to her own, or how much less would be expected of her if she simply didn't have a gift.
Really, she does love her family! She wanted to comfort Mirabel when Abuela went to see the nonexistent cracks in the courtyard, but was scared that it would be misinterpreted and she would be judged harshly for it. Yes she cares very much about her image, even turning down a messier treat made by Julieta in order to keep her dress clean, but she does this because she was the first grandchild and knows that Abuela expects her to be the perfect forefront image of the family, something that is stressed all the time.
This isn't even the half of it, and I've not even *read* the half of it! I'm telling you, there are so many new details that the book adds to what we know of the characters and I love how much more depth it provides with a simple change in perspective. I could just go on and on, really.

Last of The Six Old LU Pencil Arts! One more Four (favourite? No I don't pick favourites pfft), this time in battle stance. This one was actually based on a panel from the Comic, so I had a reference to go on. I wanted to practice poses and study Four's structure a bit. So, Ta-Da!

Word Count: 7.4k
Tags: matt murdock being feral for reader's taste, pussy eating, unprotected piv, just a touch of religious trauma
Notes: Hi besties!! anyways I'm a wh0re for Matt Murdock now, enjoy!!
Warnings: reader in this is nurse and patches up Matt's wounds, it also talks about violence, blood and such!
Tumblr media
“I wish you would tell me why you always come to me with broken ribs, busted lips and literal stab wounds.” You place more pressure on the gash across Matt’s rib cage.
You’ve known him for a few years, since he was an intern at Landman and Zack with Foggy. You were a part of a lawsuit against your nursing school, but that’s a story for another time. You, Matt and Foggy hit it off immediately despite being on opposite sides of the table when it came to the lawsuit, the 3 of you would regularly go out for drinks and on occasion only Matt and you would go out. You wish there was more to that story but he always stopped himself before anything got too far until one day he just stopped going out with you all together. That was until about 4 months ago when he showed up at your apartment beaten within an inch of his life. You begged him to call 911 but he refused, telling you that he believed in your abilities to help him before passing out in your living room from blood loss. You tried to ask questions after he regained consciousness like, who had done it to him, why they did it to him, why he didn’t seem more disturbed about almost dying but he had just put a bloody hand over your mouth and told you to sew him up. He said the people who had done it would no longer be an issue, but obviously that wasn’t the case if he just kept crawling back to your doorstep, sometimes literally crawling. You stopped asking questions after the 3rd or 4th time, knowing the routine at that point. He’d stumble in, you’d patch him up, watch over him for a few hours, then you’d go to sleep and he’d be gone by morning. He did make it worth your while though, you’ve received more than a few gift baskets full of your favorite treats and wines, and you also have a sneaking suspicion he may be behind the beautiful bouquets of flowers that show up on your doorstep every week like clockwork.
“Ah, but that would take all the mystery out of our relationship.” Matt’s strained voice makes you roll your eyes, leave it to him to crack a joke while you’re trying to stop him from bleeding out. You reach over to the end table to grab more gauze, you just need this wound to stop bleeding enough for you to actually assess it.
“Did you just roll your eyes at me?” His voice is inquisitive and lightly mocking, your cheeks heat. Matt has always had a way of knowing every little move you make, at first you thought he was just intuitive but it’s more than that, you don’t have a way of explaining it but he knows when you enter a room just from the smell of your perfume and he can always tell when you’re nervous or lying. You’ve considered superhuman abilities, mind reading and you had a conspiracy theory that he wasn’t actually blind for a while but all of it is just too silly to be true.
“You know for a blind guy you see much better than most people with sight.” Your tone is clipped and Matt struggles to get a laugh out. The two of you have always joked, it was one of the things that drew you into a friendship with Foggy and him in the first place, they both have a sense of humor that mirrors yours perfectly.
“Maybe I just know you too well, sweetheart.” You bite your tongue as his pet name for you rolls off his lips. You pull the gauze away from his wound, the bleeding has finally subsided and you’re able to assess if it needs stitches, a butterfly bandage or just some good old fashion superglue. You go for the superglue and close the wound, adding some butterfly bandages on top of it for good measure before backing away from Matt and taking off your gloves. You wipe your forehead with your forearm and exhale slowly.
“I don’t know about that, Murdock, we both have our secrets. I’ll see you next week, same time as always I’m assuming?” Matt settles into the cushions on your couch and closes his eyes. You told him he didn’t need to give you answers but he did need to rest for at least a few hours before leaving and he’s been following your only demand so far.
“It’s a date.” His deep voice sends a shiver down your spine but you snort at his comment.
“If it’s a date you better bring me some damn takeout.” You turn out all the lights in the living room, not like it makes much of a difference for him, but it’s just a habit for you. You shuffle up the stairs to the loft you sleep in above the living area. The first dozen times he came in with wounds you never got any sleep. You were constantly awake and worrying about his wounds, but it’s nothing more than a routine now, patch him up, leave him on the couch, try to get 4-5 hours of sleep before your 12 hour shifts at the hospital. Tonight seems like one of those nights where you stay awake and stare at the wall instead. You aren’t sure how much time has passed but you hear some shuffling coming from below the loft in the living area. You hear the window that leads out to your fire escape open and then Matt’s soft voice.
“Get some sleep sweetheart, thank you.” The window closes in time with your eyes, you flip over onto your other side and bite your lip to stop yourself from crying. Being his personal nurse is stressful, you don’t know what he’s involved with but you have a good idea of what it could be, Hell’s Kitchen is far from a crime free place and there’s been a masked vigilante in the news lately, The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, who’s body composition and jawline are both strikingly similar to a certain blind lawyer you’ve come to know. You won’t jump to conclusions, not until he tells you for himself but at this point it’s less of a jump and more of a simple step forward.
~~~
You haven’t seen or heard from Matt in close to 3 weeks, and the news has been suspiciously quiet as well. Your flowers still arrive every Thursday at 9 pm on the dot, and that’s your only sense of calm in the sea of panic that fills your head. The gnawing questions still poke at the back of your mind like a white hot brand iron. Did he not make it to your apartment in time? Did the people he’s been fighting finally get the last blow? You’ve checked every emergency room in a 50 mile radius, asking if they’ve had any John Doe’s who fit Matt’s description, you don’t know if you’re worried or relieved that you’ve come up empty handed each time. The next time you see him, he’s getting a hefty slap to the face, hurt or not. You don’t deserve this, you don’t deserve to stay awake every night worrying about a man who isn’t even your romantic partner.
You pace back and forth behind your couch, 8:58 P.M. on a Thursday. Your eyes stay trained on the door, waiting for the familiar knock to signify that your weekly flowers have arrived. When the knock does come you almost jump out of your skin, you’ve been so on edge lately, every small creak, bump and thump has you panting and looking over your shoulder like a deranged woman. You shuffle towards the door and press your cheek against the cool metal, looking through the peep-hole to watch the receding form of the delivery man, you wait until he disappears down the hallway before you open the door to retrieve the flowers. You lean down and pick them up, chrysanthemums, daisies, sunflowers and some type of fern as a filler, it’s always the same, always your favorites. You don’t know how your secret admirer knows your favorite flowers but every week they appear, more gorgeous than the ones before them. You move to your open kitchen area to replace last week’s dying ones with this week’s fresh ones, saving one flower to dry and press like you have since you started receiving them. Your back is to the living room as you place them on the small island. The hand on your arm stops your heart and you freeze trying to think of an attack plan before a familiar voice relaxes your muscles and sends a jolt of anger through you all at once.
“Don’t turn around.” You clench your jaw as Matt gives you a command, you begin to turn but Matt moves closer and keeps you pinned against the kitchen island, his hands stay firm on your biceps.
“Nice to see you too Matty boy, glad you aren’t dead in a fucking dumpster.” Your hands grip the granite of the island as Matt stays unmoving behind you.
“You’re angry.” You blow out a shaky breath as the heat of his body starts to seep into your back. You keep your eyes forward and focus on the wall in front of you as you reply.
“Another astute observation.” You can feel your neck and face getting hot from the anger coursing through your body. How dare he not appear for weeks and then sneak into your apartment as if nothing has happened.
“I’m glad the flowers are still getting to you okay.” You blink once, twice, as your sneaking suspicion about your secret admirer is confirmed.
“How do you know what my favorite flowers are?” You try to turn again but Matt keeps a firm hold on your arms keeping you caged between the island and him.
“I could smell them on you the first time we met, you must have just gotten fresh ones right before our meeting because the smell was so fragrant, it almost overpowered the smell of your Burberry perfume.” You squeeze your eyes shut with the newfound knowledge, it’s shit like this, you sat across a large table from him the first time you met him, no closer than 6 feet at all times. How was he able to pick up on that?
“You say it so casually like every person should be able to smell things like that. You don’t want me to ask questions but you can’t just drop knowledge bombs on me like that and then tell me not to question you.” Matt finally releases your arms and takes a step away from you. You turn slowly and keep your eyes focused on his chest, he’s wearing a simple long black shirt that’s tight on his chest. You let your eyes wander up until you’re met with an all black mask that covers the entirety of his upper face. You gasp as your second suspicion of the night is confirmed. You can feel your heartbeat in your ears as you try to back away, the kitchen island stops your escape and you’re left frozen in front of Matthew Murdock, your close friend, best patient and Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
“You’re right, you deserve answers.” You blink rapidly as the man in front of you speaks, your mind is struggling to come to terms with the fact that the man you’ve been bandaging, sewing up and infatuated with for so many months is the newest terror of Hell’s Kitchen.
“How.” Your voice comes out soft and timid. You wish you could get your mouth to say all the things your brain is thinking but both aren’t cooperating. Matt seems to understand you perfectly though because he lets out a soft sigh before he reaches up to remove the mask from his face. You’re met with his glazed over brown eyes. He grips the mask in his hands before turning and walking away from you to take a seat on the couch. You stare at the back of his head and he raises a hand to beckon you over. You follow on shaky legs and pause a few steps away from where he sits, you opt to sit on the small ottoman in front of the couch instead and continue to stare at the man in front of you.
“I tried to keep you out of this, I tried to keep you in the dark but I realized I’m putting you in more danger by not being honest. I’ve been working to dismantle the crime families in Hell’s Kitchen.” He opens his mouth to continue but you cut him off quickly.
“You mean you’ve been killing the people of Hell’s Kitchen.” You watch as Matt’s jaw ticks, he takes a deep breath in before replying.
“No.” It’s the most forceful you’ve ever heard his voice before. “No. I do not kill people, not even the people who deserve it, I’m just trying to make Hell’s Kitchen a better place.” You let out a soft scoff at his lies, you’ve seen the news footage, you know exactly what he’s done.
“Matt, you’re delusional. I’ve seen what you’ve done. It’s all over the news.” You try to keep your voice as even as possible but you can’t help the emotions that seep into your words, you’ve been assisting him with his rampant crime, you’re an accomplice.
“Sweetheart, I need you to close your eyes.” You narrow your eyes and stare at the side of his face, trying to make sense of what his request has to do with any of the shit he’s just told you. He moves to the side of the couch that’s closest to you and his hand reaches out to grab yours, a part of you wants to recoil, you should recoil but you don’t. He lifts your hand and places it on his chest, where his heart is. You can feel his sturdy pulse beneath your palm.
“Are your eyes closed?” Your lips form a thin line, a nasty retort on the tip of your tongue but you bite it back and close your eyes anyways. You should call the police, tell them everything that’s happened and let the justice system handle this but you can’t bring yourself to do it so you close your eyes and humor his simple request.
“I know you’re angry, and you have every right to be. But I need you to clear your mind, push your emotions aside for just a moment. Listen to my voice, feel my heartbeat under your hand and then tell me if I'm delusional, if I’m lying. Can you do that for me?” You take a deep breath in and try to do as he asks, his hand squeezes yours and he gives you a few moments before he begins to talk again.
“I’ve been trying to get more information on a crime boss, I have a name but none of his men will talk. They’d rather die than give up any information. He has this entire city wrapped up in this, the cops, the media, lawyers, even hospitals. There isn’t a single part of this city he hasn’t touched and none of it is good. I’m trying to bring him down, he knows me as the man in the mask, that’s why my actions have picked up so much media attention. He wants to turn Hell’s Kitchen against me, the killing, the explosions, all of it has been him. I thought by not telling you any of this I could somehow keep you safe but I’m realizing now that won’t work. And you’re too important to me to lose. I have to keep you safe, even if that means you hate me for what I do, for what I’ve become.” All the information he just gave you swirls around your head, it’s taking everything in you not to fold in on yourself and go into full blown panic mode, it’s all too insane, all of it but you know he’s telling the truth. You can feel it in your bones, every word he’s spoken has been true. His hand loosens on yours and you let it fall away from his chest as you open your eyes. You stare into his brown ones for a moment as you try to formulate a response.
“I don’t hate you.” That’s all you can muster, you watch the corners of Matt’s mouth pull upwards for a second before they drop again.
“You don’t.” He doesn’t phrase it as a question, just a simple statement, like he knows you aren’t lying.
“Okay, so where do I fall into this? Why are you so worried about me?” You rub your hands against the material of your jeans, trying to get the sweat off of them as your mind continues to move a mile a minute.
“I’ve been so distant for the past few weeks because I’ve noticed someone tailing you, they’re trying to figure out if you actually are involved with me. I thought if I disappeared they’d lose interest and leave you alone but more men have started to stakeout. I need to get you out of here before they can get to you.” You take a deep breath in through your nose as his words sink into your skin, a murderous crime boss seems to think you have some kind of connection with a vigilante who’s hell bent on taking him out, not a great place to be. You rack your brain for a place you can go, somewhere you can be safe but you come up blank. Your family lives too far away and your friends are far too nosy for you to stay there for more than a day or two without prying questions you don’t have the answers to.
“I don’t have anywhere to go, Matt.” Your voice breaks at the end and you clear your throat to try to get rid of the sticky feeling you get right before the waterworks start.
“Yes you do. I’m taking you back to my apartment. You can stay there until we figure things out.” Your eyes widen at his simple statement. A large part of you wants to protest, but you really don’t have anywhere to go until things are sorted. Your heart picks up significantly at the thought of sharing a space with the man in front of you for the foreseeable future. Matt lets out a deep laugh and you clench your jaw at his odd reaction. He just told you that you may have a hit out on your head and he’s laughing? Oh you’re so totally going to slap him.
“What’s so funny, Matty boy.” You watch as Matt licks the inside of his bottom lip, he hates when you call him Matty boy and you only reserve it for when you’re livid with him.
“I just told you so many horrible things and the only thing that gets your heart rate above 120 beats per minute is the part where you’ll be staying with me.” You roll your eyes but you can feel the heat creeping up your neck.
“Don’t be asinine Matthew. There’s no way you can hear my heartbeat like that.” Matt’s lips curl into a small smirk.
“Sweetheart, I could pick your heartbeat out in a crowd of 1000 people.” Well, that gets your heart rate going even more.
“I need more fucking answers Matt.” He holds a hand up to you and you stop talking as his head turns to the side like he’s listening for something you can’t quite hear.
“And I’ll answer them all. After I get you out of here. Put together a bag quickly. We need to go, now.” He stands and pulls you up with him. He puts the mask back on his face and stalks towards your front door. The shift in his mood is enough to have you racing up the stairs to put together a bag of essentials. You throw in as many clothes as you can, you aren’t even sure what you’ve grabbed. You run to your desk and grab your laptop, a few notebooks that have important information in them and a photo of you, Foggy and Matt from the arcade. You take the stairs two at a time and run into Matt’s chest. He wraps his arms around you and leads you towards the window he always disappears out of.
“We need to get out of here now, there’s 3 men in your building. Go down the fire escape and head in the direction of my apartment. I’m going to follow behind you. Call Foggy, tell him you just want to talk. I’ll meet you at my place.” He all but pushes you out of the window and onto the fire escape. His upper body leans out of the window and he grabs your neck pulling you into his body. His lips press against yours quickly. You gasp and freeze for a second before you start to kiss him back. It's short but full of emotion and want. He pulls away before it’s even begun.
“You have know idea how long I’ve wanted to do that sweetheart. Now go.” he retreats back into the apartment and you’re left doe eyed on the fire escape before your body finally starts to work. You climb down the old, rickety stairs as fast as humanly possible. When your feet hit the pavement you pull out your phone and type in Foggy’s name, it rings twice before his familiar voice filters through the speaker on your phone. You smile as you speed walk down the dark street and away from your apartment.
~~~
You pace inside of Matt’s apartment, hoping the men who were inside your building didn’t follow you, it’s been an hour since you got here and Matt still hasn’t appeared. You stayed on the phone with Foggy for a while but he was starting to get suspicious of your call and your tone. The front door rattles for a second before Matt stumbles inside. He’s back in his usual suit and glasses. You walk right up to him and slap him across the face. His head snaps to the side causing his glasses to fall off his face and onto the floor. Your eyes widen as you realize what you’ve just done.
“I probably deserved that.” He says as he walks further into the apartment and your eyes scan his body. He doesn’t seem hurt, maybe he didn’t have to fight anyone tonight. You bend over and pick up his glasses, his hand is already out waiting patiently for you to place them in his palm. He puts them back on and sits down on the couch, letting out a loud, steady sigh.
“You could have stopped me.” You fold your arms across your chest as you talk and move to sit on the couch next to him. Bringing your legs up to rest underneath you.
“I could’ve, but like I said, I probably deserved that. I’m sorry for kissing you.” Your head snaps to look at him, does he think you slapped him for kissing you?
“That’s not what I want you to apologize for.” Matt rests his head against the back of the couch, the air between you is silent for a few moments before he speaks.
“I’m sorry for all of it, I really am. But I’ll fix it, I promise.” He reaches a hand out and grips the top of your thigh, you look down at his hand. It’s only there for a moment before he pulls it away.
“You can start by answering all of my questions.” You move your gaze back to his face, he puts his hands out in front of him, both of them together like he just clapped, and then he opens his hands, his palms facing upwards towards the ceiling with the sides of his palms touching each other. You smile as you realize he’s signaling that he’s an open book.
“Firstly, how do you know everything? The heartbeat thing, the smell thing, knowing when I’m rolling my eyes?” Matt finally smiles for what feels like the first time in forever and your heart stutters as you stare at how handsome he looks.
“My other senses make up for what I lack in sight. I’ve trained myself to smell, taste and hear what other people can’t. Next question.” He puts his feet up on the coffee table in front of him and clasps his hands across his abdomen. He looks so damned relaxed, that bastard.
“What can you smell, what can you taste, what can you hear?” Your voice gets softer with each word until it’s barely above a whisper. Matt thinks over your question for a second before he finally settles on an answer.
“Everything. I can smell your pomegranate shampoo, I can smell the perfume you put on in the morning, I can smell the two - no - three glasses of wine you had tonight, full bodied Cab from California? I can taste your perfume too, more so right after you apply it, but it’s still there, a faint floral taste on the tip of my tongue. I can hear your heartbeat, I can hear when you rub your thighs together because I make you unbearably nervous. I can hear when you run your fingers through your hair or when you bite your fingernails, which by the way is a terrible habit and you’re doing it right now, so stop.” You freeze and pull your thumb out of your mouth, you hadn’t even realized you started to bite your nail, he’s right, it’s a horrible habit and you only do it when you’re anxious. You try to control your breathing and your heart rate because apparently that’s something else you need to worry about around him.
“Okay so you have, like, superhuman senses. Maybe you should change your profession to a drug sniffing dog, you’d make a killing with that.” Matt laughs at your poor attempt to lighten the tension in the room.
“Next question, sweetheart.” You blink at him, trying to think of another question to ask, your mind is racing but you’re trying to stop yourself from word vomiting.
“You can fight? How?” You knew his dad was a boxer, you assumed he had some sort of self defense training, but to do what he does, without sight. It’s intriguing, mesmerizing, and you want to know everything.
“Someone trained me as a kid, the same person that taught me about my senses. I use that to my advantage. I can’t physically see my opponents but I can see where they’re at, what they’re going to do, it also helps that I'm quick.” His head turns to the side to face you, he’s smiling again and you have to dig your fingers into your thighs to stop yourself from crawling onto his lap and continuing the kiss from earlier.
“Sweetheart, I can hear your heart hammering in your chest. I can taste you.” Matt’s voice drops an octave and your breathing hitches when you realize exactly what he’s referring to.
“I have one more question.” You move closer to him, until your thigh is brushing against his side. He unclasps his hands and his fingers move to rest on your leg, right above your knee.
“Ask away.” His breath is picking up and you have to force your mind to stay on track long enough to ask him the one thing that’s been on your mind since you got to his apartment.
“Why did you wait so long to kiss me?” Your face leans in closer to him and he mirrors your movement, you can feel his breath fanning across your cheek.
“Do you know what they call me?” His words vibrate through your body and he leans forward more until his lips brush against the corner of your mouth. You have to work through so many jumbled thoughts to find an answer to the question he asked.
“The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen?” Your voice is so soft, if he was anyone else you’d be worried he didn’t hear you, but he’s Matt, he can hear the way your heart is trying to beat out of your chest right now.
“The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, I didn’t want to taint something as sweet as you. No matter how tempting it is, I never wanted you to get wrapped up in this.” He brings his lips across your cheek as he speaks, trailing his nose down to your neck where he inhales deeply, like he’s trying to get one last taste of the perfume that’s fading away. You take this as an opportunity to throw your leg across his lap, you straddle his thighs and he immediately drops his feet from the coffee table, his hands wrapping around your ankles as his chest leans forward to get closer to you.
“But I am wrapped up in this, I’m wrapped up in you. And I’m here to stay. You can’t scare me off.” Your hands shake as you reach up to his face. You grab his glasses and pull them from his face slowly. His grip tightens around your ankles as you fold his glasses and place them on the arm of the couch closest to you. Your hands move back to his face and your thumbs trace the split skin and bruise on his forehead and eye. Matt lets your fingers travel to his lips, you run your thumb over his bottom lip and his tongue pokes out to lick the pad of your thumb. He closes his eyes and lets out a soft moan. His hands finally move from your ankles. He lets his hands trail over your body and he lets out a soft choked gasp as his palms come in contact with your chest. You didn’t have time to put a bra on before being forced from your apartment. His hands grip your chest and you stifle a moan as his thumb runs over your nipple. His hands continue up to your neck. He's so gentle with his motions, his fingers spread out on your face and you sit still as he maps out your face. He’s done it before but this feels different, his touch is so heated, so soft, your body lights with fire as his cautious fingers dance across your lips. He moves his hands to your cheeks and then his hands start moving through your hair to the back of your neck.
Matt pulls you down until your lips touch his, this kiss is much more forceful than the kiss at your apartment. He deepens it immediately and lets out another loud groan as his tongue tastes yours. His hips buck up and you whimper as you feel him underneath you through your thin sweatpants. Matt pulls away from your lips and pants into your mouth before he turns his attention to your throat. His hands move down your back to grip your hips.
“I thought I knew what you tasted like but I was wrong. I was so very wrong.” He whispers the words into your neck as he continues to lick and suck on the sensitive skin there.
“Please, Matt, I need you.” You wrap your fingers in his hair as he kisses your throat, it’s like one simple taste of you has driven him mad. His lips and teeth gnash at the skin of your neck with the feral desire of a starved man.
“I know, sweetheart.” His fingers bury into the skin of your sides with a bruising grip, he helps you rock your hips back and forth over his bulge and you let out a whisper of a moan as more pleasure ignites inside of you.
“I want you to explain to me what you feel, what you taste, let me inside your mind.” Your voice is breathy as you say the words, Matt buries his face in your chest and you feel like if you don’t take the clothes off your body right now, you’ll combust. You pull back to rip your shirt off and lean forward immediately. You can feel Matt breathing rapidly beneath you as he drags his face across the valley of your breasts.
“I can taste your body wash, your perfume is filling my head right now and it’s driving me insane. I can smell how much you want me, it’s like a phantom sweetness on the tip of my tongue, I can hear every little whimper and moan you’re trying to hold back. I can hear your teeth pulling at the skin of your bottom lip. Your heart rate picks up even more whenever my mouth passes over right here.” He presses his lips to the hollow of your throat and you almost start hyperventilating when his tongue darts out to lick it.
“Bedroom, take me to your bedroom Matthew.” You scramble off his lap and his hands help guide you as you stand on your shaky legs. His hand catches the crook of your elbow and he all but drags you into the bedroom across from his living area. You fall onto the bed immediately and you watch as Matt fumbles with his clothing. He yanks his tie down and pulls it over his head before dropping it on the ground, his suit jacket follows shortly after and then when he’s fed up with how many buttons are on his shirt he just rips it open, you listen as the buttons scatter across the cement ground. You lift your hips to wiggle your sweatpants off as he undoes his belt and pulls his suit pants off. He stands in front of you in black briefs and you watch his shoulders rise as he inhales deeply.
“Heavenly.” Is all he says before he stalks towards the bed and crawls up between your thighs. You expect him to come all the way up but he stops at your naked cunt. He leans down and places a teasing kiss to the inside of your thigh. Your hips buck up into his face and he lets out a soft chuckle. His hands travel up the length of your legs and he grips the pliant skin of your thighs. His tongue darts out and he licks a stripe along the inside of your upper thigh.
“This is the quickest I’ve ever heard your heartbeat before.” His hot breath fans across the top of your pussy and you’re given no warning before his tongue dives straight into you. He lets out a loud moan as he licks from your entrance to your clit, you thought he was a man starved before but nothing compares to the way he is now. His entire body is shaking and grinding against the mattress as he devours you. His fingers tighten on your thighs, keeping them open as he pulls your clit between his lips, he sucks on it lightly and you look down between your thighs, the room is dark but the light from the open living room is filtering in, painting his silhouette in a soft red glow. His entire face is buried between your thighs and you wished he would look up so you can see the look on his face. Your hands let go of the comforter surrounding you and you move your hands down to tangle in his hair. He lets out a soft growl as your fingertips scrape against his scalp. You try to pull him away from your center, needing his lips to be back on yours, needing him to be inside of you. He lets out a groan and moves his hands to yours, removing them from his hair and pinning them underneath his own against your thighs.
“I can’t stop, I can’t stop until you come undone, until I hear all those sweet little moans and whimpers.” Matt pulls away from you to get the words out before he continues his mouth’s assault on your clit. You’ve had quite a few sexual partners in your life, but none of them have ever but this enthusiastic about eating you out. You continue to wiggle your hips, trying to get away from his mouth.
“Matt, I want to come with you inside me.” You whine, his grip tightens on your hands and the flat of his tongue drags against your clit working your body closer and closer to your impending orgasm.
“You will.” He mumbles the words into you and your hips jerk upwards at the depravity that laces his tone. “Be good for me.” Matt’s grip on your hand loosen and he moves it between your thighs, you choke on a soft gasp as he presses two of his fingers inside of you. Your body clenches around his fingers as he works them in and out of you in slow, shallow thrusts. Your only free hand grabs the comforter, trying to regain a bit of control over your body as Matt’s tongue drives you closer to the edge.
“You’re so close, I can feel it, let go sweetheart. Give me your all.” Matt’s lips rub against you as he continues to whisper sweet praise to you. The heat in your body is unbearable and you’re seconds away from shattering. Matt sucks your clit between his lips again, dragging his teeth over it lightly. Your body begins to convulse as you fall head first into a powerful orgasm. His fingers and tongue speed up as you thrash and moan against the mattress, whimpering your praise for him between your shallow pants and lewd moans. Matt finally pulls his face away from you when your whines of pleasure turn to whimpers of overstimulation. He kneels between your thighs and leans back as he brings his fingers to his lips. His eyes close as he slips them between his lips to clean them off. You sit up on the mattress and grip his wrist, pulling his fingers out of his mouth to take them into your own. Your tongue licks between his fingers and you watch him as you run your tongue over every surface of his fingers that were just inside of you.
Matt pulls his fingers out of your mouth with a soft pop, his hand slides down to your neck leaving a wet trail in its wake, he grips your throat and pulls you forward to his lips. His kiss is much more controlled this time, less rushed, but there’s still so much desire behind it. He pushes you back onto the bed and hovers over you. His lips move to your throat as he pushes down his briefs and you move your hands to help him, needing him more with every growing second.
“I need to know this is what you want. If we do this, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back to how things were before.” He pauses all his movements, pulling his face away from you. You watch the shadows dance over his face and you’ve never been more sure of anything before in your life.
“I want this.” Matt smiles a bit and you know he’s listening to your heartbeat, checking for the truth in your words.
“If I’m going to hell, I’m dragging you with me sweetheart.” Matt lines up with your entrance and pushes forward slowly, letting out a string of curses as your heat envelops him. He pauses inside of you and buries his face in your neck, both of his forearms caging you in from the rest of the room.
“Matt, you can drag me anywhere. Just start moving.” You grind your hips trying to get him to thrust. He lets out a shaky breath before he starts to move at a controlled, languid pace. His lips trail over your jaw and he nips at the skin there as his pace starts to increase slightly.
“Sorry sweetheart, you overwhelm me.” Your heart stutters at Matt’s simple admission, your fingers find their way back to his hair and you drag his face to yours, kissing him with the same intensity he had on the couch. His pace picks up further and you moan into his mouth as his hips slam against you. He shifts all of his weight onto one forearm as he reaches between the two of you to rub gentle circles around your clit with his thumb. You let out another whimper that he swallows as his tongue traces yours in your mouth. You aren’t sure how much time has passed since the moment on the couch, it could have been minutes, it could have been hours. Matt is meticulously working to undo all the coherent thoughts inside of your mind with his cock and fingers. Your fingers drag themselves away from his hair to scrape at his back. He lets out a loud groan as you dig your fingernails into the hot skin there, you feel his muscles working as he continues to thrust into you. Your first orgasm is already forgotten as he works you towards your second one. You bite his lip as the rising pleasure in your body begins to take over again.
“How do you do it? How do you know my body better than I know it myself?” You whisper the words as Matt moves his face back to the crook of your neck. He bites and sucks at the skin of your throat and you know it's going to leave a mark and the thought of him marking you sends another jolt of excitement through your body.
“I’ve been told I’m a really good listener.” You bite back a laugh as your orgasm crashes through your body, you choke on a moan as you clench around his cock inside of you and your fingers dig deeper into the skin of his back. Matt picks up to a brutal speed and you can hear each of his small groans and pants as he works himself closer and closer to his own orgasm.
“You’re so close Matt, I can feel it, give me your all.” You press your lips to the shell of his ear and echo his previous words. His hips stutter for a second and he pulls out of you. He leans back as he fists his cock above you and you look down between your legs to watch the scene unfold. He pumps his cock three more times and lets out a deep groan, you watch as his come lands on the inside of your thigh and you look up at him with a wide eyed expression, watching him do that was so hot. The red glow has shifted to a pale purple thanks to the LED billboard right outside of his apartment, and his pale skin is illuminated in the darkness of the room. You finally take a moment to shamelessly check him out but you stop when you see the gauze on his side and the center of it that’s now a darker color than the rest of the white gauze surrounding it. You narrow your eyes as he continues to catch his breath. He pauses for a moment and cocks his head to the side, blinking multiple times like he’s trying to figure something out.
“You’re angry?” His voice comes out shaky and you sit up on your elbows, your eyes still looking at the wound on his side that’s bleeding.
“A bit. You’re bleeding Matt. I could have hurt you. Let me look at it.” You sit up all the way and immediately move your hands to pull the bloodied gauze away from his torso. His hands catch your wrists and he brings them up to his face, he places a soft kiss to both of your palms before speaking again.
“How about we take a shower and you can play nurse afterwards?” You can’t stop the way you shift your thighs or the way your heartbeat picks up from his suggestion. Matt lets out a deep laugh as he rolls off the bed and heads in the direction of the bathroom.
“Your heartbeat will always give you away sweetheart. Come on.” He calls back after you and you scramble off the bed to follow him into the bathroom. His wound will still be there after a hot, steamy shower anyways.

part one.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
“Baby?”
Faint sniffles came from Bokuto, whose head was currently nestled on your lap, the two of you strewn across the sofa. His arms were wrapped tight around your waist, as if he were afraid that holding you any looser would cause you to disappear from his arms. His voice was quiet, meek — nothing like the loud, boisterous ball of energy you’d grown to adore, to cherish.
To fall in love with.
Now, here the both of you were, a pile of cracked and fragmented pieces of the love you once shared, desperately grasping at whatever you could salvage from the mess.
You hummed a response.
“Are we gonna be okay?” Bokuto turned his head, his eyes staring up at you — wide, teary, and filled with a broken sense of hope.
In an attempt to avoid breaking down a third time, you cleared your throat. You still couldn’t look down at him, into his eyes that seemed to praise your very existence, even after the pain you caused.
“Please.” His voice cracked.
“Let’s not talk about that right now, Kou-Bokuto.”
He bit his lip roughly, enough to bite into the skin and draw a slight trace of blood. Choking on a weak sob, he nestled his head into your stomach once more. He couldn’t stop you from calling him that name anymore; he’d lost that privilege.
What could he have been asking for? For you to simply just call him your Koutarou again? For you not to leave him and stay in his arms? For you to kiss him and wipe those tears running from his pretty eyes as you tell him you’ll love him forever, no matter what?
Quite honestly, Bokuto didn’t know what he was asking of you; he didn’t know what he wanted from you.
The only thing running through his mind was the fact that he’d just ruined the best thing to ever happen to him.
You.
You, the love of his life. He knew you like the back of his hand.
He knew how, despite your small tendency to be romantically constipated, you tried your best to love him — even to the point of using stupidly cheesy pet names for each other.
– – – – –
“Please, baby!” Bokuto had your hands tightly grasped in his. “I swear, if you do this for me, I won’t ever ask you for anything else for the rest of my life — okay, that’s a lie because I really want ice cream after this, but you know what I mean!”
“Kou.” You drew in a breath. “I’m saying yes to the ice cream later, but those are the cheesiest pet names I have ever heard of.”
You saw the way Bokuto visibly deflated as he heard your soft rejection of his idea.
For the rest of the night (after stopping by the store and getting yourselves two tubs of ice cream, of course), the two of you sat cuddled up on the sofa half-paying attention to whatever B-list movie was recommended to you. Occasionally, you would hear Bokuto let out a deep sigh, most likely to try and guilt trip you into doing what he asked of you earlier.
Turning your head to face him, you grinned at the little pout on his lips as his eyes bore holes into the TV screen.
“Hey, Kou.”
Nothing. His attention stayed glued to the TV. The only sign that showed he’d heard you was the deepening of his pout.
“Koutaro, pretty boy. I’m talking to you,” you giggled.
Still nothing. You racked your brain for all of the possible ways this could end — every one of them resulted in the same thing.
Sighing, you brought up a finger to poke at his cheek. “Hey, dovey.”
If Bokuto were a dog, his ears would have stood straight up and his tail would have started wagging as he whipped his head around to look at you.
“Say that again,” he demanded, his eyes wide and sparkling and the corner of his lips twitching, just barely restraining a smile.
When you didn’t reply, his fingers prodded at your side — a promise to tickle you if you didn’t humour him right now.
“Say it again! Who am I?”
“You’re my dovey.”
“And who are you?”
You struggled to fight the urge to curl up into yourself as you answered him, “I’m your lovey.”
“And what are we together?” Bokuto brought his face closer to yours, his eyes going back and forth between your eyes and lips.
“We’re lovey dovey.” You completed it with a pair of awkward jazz hands.
With that, Bokuto’s face split into a blinding smile as his laughter rang through the living room. He brought you tight into his arms and buried his face into the crook of your neck.
“Yes! I knew you could do it, lovey!” Your cheeks grew warm as you were subjected to his rain of kisses on your face. 
Pulling him in for one last kiss to your lips, you whispered, “I love you so much, Kou.”
– – – – –
He knew how he was always the first thing on your mind; you’d put him as your first priority without fail, no matter how busy you were, even when he hadn’t put you as his.
– – – – –
Bokuto stared up at the crisp, white ceiling — hospitals were never a fun place to be in. He was broken from his thoughts when the door to his room burst open, revealing you in your ever-ethereal work clothes rushing toward him.
“Babe! Are you alright?” Stopping at the side of his bed, you brought his hand up to place a kiss on his knuckles.
Bokuto let out a light laugh as he intertwined his fingers with yours. “Yeah, it’s just a sprained ankle. Nothing to worry about, honey.”
“What do you mean ‘nothing to worry about’? Your coach said that you’d have to be out for two weeks!”
“That’s not too much! It’s not like I’ll be missing the whole season, angel.”
“But, Kou, you also have to–”
Bokuto stopped your worried rambling as he pulled you down, giving you a soft kiss on your lips and cheeks. He gave you a smile.
“Stop worrying, baby! Everything will be fine because I have the cutest, smartest, and kindest nurse to help me recover, right?”
“And who’s that?” You sent him a teasing look as your hands shuffled through your pockets looking for your phone.
“You, silly!” He paused before staring up at you in concern. “You are going to take care of me, right, baby?”
“I don’t know about that, Kou. Work has been hectic lately.” You pulled out your phone.
“But I’m injured! And I’m your boyfriend too! You can’t just leave your injured boyfriend alone to fend for himself! Baby!” Walking away from his bed, you exited the hospital room, tapping away on your phone.
A few minutes passed before you returned, seeing Bokuto sulking in the hospital bed, a familiar pout on his lips.
Your eyes softened as you gave him a smile. “Guess who just got two weeks off?”
– – – – –
The foundation of your relationship was built upon the fact that the two of you knew each other like no other; you loved each other like no other.
So how had everything culminated into such a mess?
“Bokuto.” You felt the way his body stiffened as you called his name.
“Yes,” he hesitated, “honey?”
“Do you remember what I told you a couple years ago? About what I thought of love?”
Feeling a prickling sensation in his nose, Bokuto squeezed his eyes shut, forcing out a few tears that had collected on his eyelashes.
His voice came out hoarse and weak as he whispered, “I could never forget.”
– – – – –
The sky was enveloped in a cloak of darkness, but not even the onslaught of exhaustion could prevent the two of you from leaning back on the picnic blanket to stare up at the shimmering stars.
“Baby?” Bokuto turned his head to where you lay beside him. You hummed in response, half of your attention taken by the stars.
“What do you think about love?”
You raised an eyebrow, rolling onto your side to fully look at your boyfriend.
The moonlight casted harsh shadows on his face, but the way he looked at you — eyes sparkling with curiosity and the corners of his lips curled into a light smile — softened the darkness surrounding the two of you.
“Where did that question come from?” You raised a hand to lightly trace over the curves and slopes of his face; your thumb caressed his cheek as he leaned into your touch.
“Answer my question first, and then I’ll tell you.” His eyes turned into little crescent moons as he smiled at you. “Deal?”
You pretended to think about it for a few seconds. “Hm, three kisses please,” you said, wiggling three of your fingers.
Bokuto laughed, indulging you with a kiss to both of your cheeks and a final kiss to your lips.
“Okay, okay,” you giggled. “You asked me what I think about love?”
He nodded.
“Well,” you sighed, turning back to face the midnight sky above you, “I think that love is like the sky — the sun, to be specific. It’s always changing, and everything is so unpredictable about it. There’s so much potential for destruction in what the sky holds. But, there’s always one constant. Do you know what it is, Kou?” You looked at him.
“What is it, angel?” His golden eyes glimmered, as if they were holding stars themselves.
Adjusting your position on the picnic blanket (you curled closer into Bokuto, who wrapped an arm around your shoulders), you continued, “It’s the sun. No matter how much it rains or snows or whatever weather catastrophe is happening, the sun is always going to be there. Sure, you can have multiple suns like those Star Wars planets, but…” you trailed off, looking into his eyes. “... I think I’m happy with my one sunshine.”
Bokuto, ever the romantic, pulled you into a nearly-bone-crushing hug as he laughed into your shoulder. After peppering kisses to your neck and jaw, he pulled away to look at you. He sported the brightest smile, but something sparkled behind those eyes of his.
“Baby?”
“Yeah?”
“I think you’re getting cheesier than me.”
You groaned, leaning away from him, “Shut up, Kou!”
He giggled before placing a gentle kiss on your lips.
“Now let’s get home before these mosquitoes eat us alive, honey.”
“And then you’ll tell me where you got that question from?”
“Of course, honey! I never break a deal!”
– – – – –
How could he forget what you said? Every word you’ve ever spoken to him, he’s grasped onto like a lifeline, as if they would be your last. He was so close to bursting — so close to pulling himself off of your lap, looking into your pretty eyes, grasping your shoulders, and yelling at you, screaming at you, asking why you would think he could ever forget anything about you. How dare you think he could ever forget anything about you?
But he couldn’t do that. Not to you. Not anymore.
He didn’t realise that you’d gone silent — his world had gone silent — until your sniffles broke his reverie. His arms tightened around your waist as his head nuzzled into your stomach once again; it was a broken act of comfort.
“Honey,” the edges of his voice cracked as he called out for you. “Talk to me. Please. Don’t… don’t stay quiet.”
Being met with another bout of silence was almost excruciating. Bokuto was struggling to keep himself together, to keep his head above the water before he drowned in his thoughts of losing you.
He launched himself up from your lap, grabbing your face with shaky hands. He had tears running down his face once again. His face was blotchy, and his hair was a mess. He was a mess.
“Please, lovey,” he whispered. If you stayed silent just one minute longer, he’d collapse. He was sure of it. Fighting the urge to just sit himself in your lap, pull you tight against him, and beg you not to leave, Bokuto settled with caressing the skin under your shirt.
Finally, you broke the silence.
“I forgot to tell you one thing that night.” You moved your hand from where it was resting in his hair back to your side; he tensed at the loss of your touch.
He swallowed, his anxiety began to pile up once again. “What’d you forget, baby?”
“Even though the sun” — your voice cracked — “is a constant, sometimes it can be too much. Burn too bright and dry up everything underneath the sky. Sometimes...” you paused to take a deep breath, trying to swallow back the lump that was growing in your throat. “Sometimes the sun can do even worse harm than anything the sky could do.”
Bokuto could feel the gradual increase of his heartbeat. He shook his head, his fingers involuntarily digging into your skin. No, no, you didn’t mean that. You couldn’t mean that. If you did he… he didn’t know what he would do.
“I’m sorry, Bokuto,” you murmured, “I can’t stay here any longer.”
You tried to pry yourself out of his grip, but he wouldn’t relent. His arms were shaking as he pulled you even closer into him. He was whispering something to himself.
“Bokuto, I’m being serious.” You tried to keep your voice stable but failed miserably — it all came out shaky, your tone uneven. “Let me go.”
His whispers grew louder until you could finally understand what he was saying.
“No, no. This isn’t real. I love you. I love you. No, don’t leave. Please don’t leave. I love you.”
You called his name. Once, twice, thrice. As you called for him, his whispers grew to full-blown cries.
“Bokuto!”
“I’M SORRY DON’T LEAVE ME!”
But the only thing your eyes chose to focus on was the trail of red and purple leading down his neck.
You felt a prickling sensation behind your eyes, a feeling that had grown familiar to you in the past few hours.
Bokuto caught the wandering of your eyes down his neck, a faraway mist muddled the irises he loved gazing into; he realised what you were staring at, forcing down a choked sob. He clenched his jaw, violently cursing himself for making you feel like you weren’t enough, like you weren’t the one keeping him standing straight.
Like you weren’t his sun, moon, stars, and whatever else you filled the fucking sky with.
He gently moved your head, trying to get you to look back into his eyes and away from the bruised mistake that marred his skin. His thoughts only filled with one thing — “Come back to me, baby.”
Waves of relief crashed against him once you met his eyes.
“Baby– Angel– I’m so– I don’t– Please–” Bokuto struggled to keep his thoughts straight. Not when you stared at him with an iciness that pierced his heart every time he looked back into your eyes, hoping to find even the smallest trace of love left for him.
He let out a rough sigh, frustrated with his inability to speak through the racing of his heart. His hands, still cupping your face, lightly squeezed your cheeks to ground himself. He looked back to you, his eyes swimming with even more tears, trying to send a message to you that he couldn’t put into words.
You looked away from him, focusing on the ticking clock on the wall as you gnawed your lip. A question had been running through your mind ever since he cracked into your resolve to leave and pulled you to the sofa, laying his head in your lap.
Your eyes turned back to him.
“Can you tell me something, Bokuto?”
“Yes, yes, baby, of course. I’ll do anything you want.” He eagerly nodded, a small spark of hope sparkled within him.
“Why’d you lie?”
He felt as though you just dumped him into one of Atsumu’s god-awful ice baths.
“What’re you saying, angel?” His eyebrows furrowed. “I’ve never lied to you.”
“Earlier,” you croaked. “I asked you earlier how long you’ve been” — you couldn’t say that word; it’d hurt too much — “messing around.”
A glint of recognition passed his eyes.
Continuing, you forced your voice out, even though it grew weaker the more you tried to hide your pain, “You said that it was just this once. That wasn’t the whole truth, was it?”
Fuck. Bokuto took his hands away from your face, opting to grasp one of your hands in his. He gave your knuckles a kiss before looking back at you, his eyes teeming with unadulterated guilt and desperation.
“I-I knew them before this ever happened. We met at one of the team parties, but you weren’t there because you were at work.” He saw a glimpse of darkness shadow over your face, and his heartbeat picked up again (not that it ever really settled). “But we never did anything! Not until last night, at least.” His voice grew quiet at the end.
“And never once did it occur to you to tell them that you were taken?”
Bokuto’s lips started trembling — no doubt he’d begin crying again. He looked down, trying to avoid your glare, but his grip on your hand never loosened.
“Please, baby. I’m so sorry,” he choked out, “I’m so fucking sorry. I fucked up in the worst way possible. But I promise you, I never did anything with them before. We just talked at that one party. I promise you that. I promise, honey.”
The look in your eyes became even colder, even more distant; something akin to hatred was present as well. No, this couldn’t be happening. His worst nightmare was coming true. You’d finally learned the truth and were going to leave him. You might have called him your sunshine that one night two years ago, but, to him, you were his oxygen — without you, he was truly nothing. Just a corpse of a man, not worth wasting a breath on.
He was losing you. Again.
“I’m leaving, Bokuto.” You roughly pulled your hand from his grasp, ignoring his cries for you to please stop, to listen for just a minute longer. “Don’t you dare try to look for me.”
Bokuto whimpered, following you to where you were trying to pick up your bags in your haste of anger. Once again, he tugged at the straps, trying to steal them away from you, but his arms grew weak at the scowl pointed his way.
His breath quickened, and his heart raced. He was panicking, grasping at straws to have to rethink your choice and stay with him so he could apologise for the rest of both of your lives. He’d spend the remainder of eternity begging for your forgiveness if only you’d just stay with him.
But he couldn’t say a word. Not with his blinded panic, and definitely not with the terrible, agonising look you were giving him as you stared back at him.
Was this how you felt when he’d walked out on you last night? Hopeless. Defenseless. As if you weren’t even worth a grain of sand underneath the other’s shoe.
“Lovey, I’m sorry!” Bokuto cried out one more time, hoping that he’d reach out to whatever small piece of love you still held for him. “I said I’m sorry! Please just forgive me, don’t leave me. Please! I’m begging you! Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it a million times over. Just, please,” he quieted to a whisper, just barely reaching your ears, “stay with me, and we can get through this together.”
His face crumpled as he heard your responding scoff.
“There’s no more ‘together’ for us, Bokuto.”
Your words stung — well, they stung as much as a gunshot or a knife to the heart would sting. He pressed on, desperate to get you to hear him out.
“I’m your sunshine, right? Your dovey. Your babe. Your pretty boy. Your Koutarou. Right?” He gripped onto the hem of his shirt, balling his hands into fists. “No matter what you call me, I’m yours. And I always will be. Even if you leave me right now, I’ll never stop looking for you. You know why?”
You stayed silent.
“Because I am just as much your sun as you are mine.”
His words echoed in your mind — that twisted, gnawing feeling came back in your gut. You knew that if you stayed for one more minute, it’d be over for you, and you’d go running back into his arms that always held you so tightly. Into his arms that smelt like home. Into his arms that made you feel like you were on top of the world as long as he was by your side. Into his arms that held onto another once the two of you reached a rough patch.
You made your decision.
“Koutarou…” His head snapped up to look at you, his eyes wide and glittering with a false sense of hope. “I’m sorry. I have to leave.”
There was another feeling growing within Bokuto. It was ugly, festering in the deepest parts of his mind — coming from a place that refused to acknowledge his faults. This feeling, it blamed
you. Why would you hurt him like this? How could you hurt him like this? You said he was your sunshine, your dovey, your Koutarou! How cruel could you be to lead him on, calling him ‘Koutarou’ again? You said you loved him!
“Don’t leave me!” He raised his voice. This feeling was taking over him, and it was angry. “If you leave, I’ll-I’ll…” His voice trailed off as he tried to regain control of himself.
Your brows furrowed. He still had the energy to yell, huh?
“You’ll what?” You took a step toward him. He looked away from you, trying to avoid your burning gaze. “Tell me, Koutarou. What will you do if I leave?”
He shook his head; you knew what that meant — “I won’t say it.”
“You’ll go back to them, won’t you?” you scoffed. “Have fun, Koutarou.”
Adjusting the straps of your bags, you gave him one last glare before moving toward the door once more.
That feeling came back in Bokuto’s mind, and it was stronger than ever. Pounding against the walls he built up, it roared, telling him to make you regret hurting him, make you think twice about leaving him. Bokuto was panicking, his will to beg you to stay was growing weaker as the feeling inside him became increasingly angry at you for causing him so much pain.
He knew he’d regret the next words he’d say to you, but that realisation came a second too late.
“I’ll never forgive you!”
You froze. Turning back around to face him, your eyes narrowed. “What?”
“If you leave me, I’ll never forgive you!”
His eyes were burning into you, a raging fire behind them.
“You’ll never forgive me?” you spat.
As quickly as the fire grew, it was extinguished as Bokuto’s expression morphed into one of shock.
“Wait, baby, I didn’t mean it! I promi–”
Dropping your bags by the door, you strided toward his figure. Pushing him against the wall, you pulled him in by the collar, melding his lips with yours.
The kiss was rough, angry, desperate — an amalgamation of everything you’ve felt in the past few hours going back and forth with Bokuto.
You pushed yourself into the space between his legs as he finally recovered from his shock and tried to match your tempo, his hands pulling you close into his body. Your teeth clashed together, and you had half the mind to bite his tongue in your mouth, but you held back.
Raking your fingers through his hair, you pulled his head back, ignoring his small, pained whine. The offensive mess of red and purple blotches still covered the expanse of his neck. A scowl grew on your face.
Bokuto yelped as he felt your lips latch onto his neck, sucking your own bruises over the ones already existing from his escapade. You were rough, unrelenting in your nearly-primal way of claiming him.
Trying to ignore your satisfaction from hearing his whimpers of your name, you pulled away, looking at your series of marks covering the ones from his other lover. The two of you were left panting — him trying to meet your eyes and you trying to avoid looking at him at all costs.
Leaning into his ear, you placed a gentle bite on his lobe. He tensed ever-so-slightly.
“You’ll never forgive me if I leave?” you hummed.
His hands that were under your shirt, roaming across your back, froze.
“B-Baby, wait, I didn’t–” He tried to plead with you until your next words completely shattered what was left of his broken, battered heart.
“I think I can live with that.”
You quickly backed away from him, evading his attempts to grab at your waist to stop you from leaving, and picked up your bags by the door. Looking back at him one last time, you nearly broke your facade.
After all he’s done, you still loved your Koutarou — no matter how much you tried to convince yourself otherwise — and seeing him on his knees, sobbing, begging you not to leave for the umpteenth time, your will was wearing thin.
“Goodbye, Koutarou.”
The slam of the front door echoed across the remnants of his shattered heart and all he had the strength to do was cry. Pulling at the strands of his hair, he sobbed, begging into the air, weeping with no one to listen to him.
Without you, his world had no sky; everything was bathed in the shadow of your absence.

subtle | shouto todoroki/reader
Tumblr media
pairing: Todoroki Shouto / Reader
status: complete
length: 2,171 words
summary: Someone leaves chocolates on your desk. You're determined to track down the sender, certain it's a mistake, and Shouto Todoroki makes himself as unhelpful as possible.
tags: romance, reader-insert, fluff, valentine’s day
warnings: aged up characters (no smut though!!)
There was a box on your desk.
There was a box on your desk, and the sight of it was enough to instantly set you on edge.
The box looked normal enough, if a little fancy, maybe. Its lacquered top glinted brightly under the fluorescent office lighting, its smooth, polished sides waterfalling into the soft matte of your desktop underneath. You weren’t close enough to read the inscription, but you could just make out some elegant, curling script inlaid into the top of the box, possibly the name of whichever company had produced it.
The box looked very normal, in fact. Only, you knew it wasn’t. Boxes didn’t just show up in the middle of the Todoroki Hero Agency, a campus swimming with pros and armed with layers of security so deep it took even you--Shouto Todoroki’s manager--fifteen full minutes to get through screening every morning. It was something very much like being a prison guard at Tartarus.
So either this box meant the agency was dealing with a security breach the likes of which had scarcely been seen before, or someone had mistaken your desk for somebody else’s.
Which, considering it was Valentine’s Day, made a lot more sense.
Buoyed by the realization it wasn't a security risk, you crept closer, peering at the box, and the script resolved itself into the name of the extremely fancy chocolatier in Hiroo district that you made a point of drooling over every time you had to make a house call on Shouto. Their prices were literally insane, so you had never let yourself wander inside, unwilling to shell out an entire week’s pay for a tiny set of chocolates. Even if they did look absolutely fucking unbelievable from the window.
Your mouth watered.
That confirmed it--this was a Valentine's gift, and it was definitely a mistake. For the briefest of seconds, you’d wondered if maybe you had gotten obligatory office friendship chocolates, but this was too much. Some poor, love-sodden flop had gone out, spent their week’s pay on someone they were clearly very serious about, and then proceeded to fuck the entire thing up by plonking their gift straight onto your desk instead of their intended’s.
You frowned, quickly checking the box over for some kind of clue as to who had left it. There was no note included, nothing even mildly helpful that would give you the slightest hint of the person who'd left it here. Which left you with the question of how to return the box to the sender without knowing who they were, or how to pass it on to whoever they’d really meant it for.
You drew your bottom lip between your teeth, staring hard at the surface of the box like you could crack its code if only you glared hard enough. The box stared back at you, unhelpfully silent.
You were still skewering the box with your gaze some minutes later, determined to unravel its secrets, when a deep voice murmured from your doorway.
“You look puzzled."
You startled, whipping around to find Shouto propping up the wall, looking as unfairly handsome as usual. He was watching you intently, those heterochromatic eyes fastened to your face in that careful way he had, the one that always made you feel too warm and slightly unfocused. As usual, it was all you could do to remind yourself that you were a professional and he was something solidly between a friend and a coworker, and no matter how cute and attentive he was, you shouldn't get any ideas.
This morning, he was dressed in his hero uniform, tall and broad-shouldered, his distinctive hair only a little ruffled from his early patrol. It wasn’t often someone tried something in the districts he watched over anymore, probably too nervous to find themselves on the wrong end of the number four hero’s temper. You knew from the reports you received to your phone that the only trouble he’d encountered this morning was a pack of amorous school girls purposely misusing their quirks to draw his attention.
Thirty minutes ago, in fact, you’d almost spit out your coffee laughing at a photo of him looking wildly uncomfortable as he attempted to ice down some girl’s lava quirk with his right hand while fighting off her unfathomably enormous bouquet with his left. It was only right that he should suffer once a year, when every other day he got to stalk about as handsome as you please, oblivious to the effects his appearance had on every breathing person within a five mile radius.
You gave him an absent nod, gaze drawn back to the box on your desk.
“Somebody accidentally left something in here,” you told him, gesturing to it. “I’m trying to figure out how to track down who it was, or who it was meant for.”
Shouto made a small noise in the back of his throat, almost like a cough, and it was enough to startle you into looking up at him again.
“What?” you asked, peering at him. Was he coming down with something? It wasn't often he got sick, but when he did, he usually attempted to hide it and needed to be steamrolled into taking time off. You looked him over, trying to assess whether or not you needed to start badgering him now.
Shouto gazed back at you evenly, his expression deceptively bland. “...You think it’s not for you.”
You felt yourself blink at him, surprised by the comment and struggling to discern his meaning. What did he mean, you think it’s not for you? “Of course it’s not for me, Shouto, it’s from Grégoire Chardin.”
You knew he’d know the place, considering he lived in the same fancy rich people neighborhood as the chocolatier, but Shouto looked unimpressed.
“Why should that mean it’s not for you?” he asked, his tone dry.
The remark caught you off guard, as his comments sometimes did, and you bit down something like a smile. Bless his sweet, oblivious, rich boy heart. Either he overestimated your appeal to his agency staff, or he really did not understand the concepts of cost and return on investment.
“It’s expensive, it’s not something you would give someone as obligatory chocolates,” you explained, watching as a white eyebrow went up. His expression sharpened into something you couldn’t read well.
“It could be a secret admirer,” he said.
You stared blankly back at him, absolutely floored by the idea.
He thought you had a secret admirer? The idea sent an excited thrill all the way down to your toes, but you quickly squashed the feeling. So far, you'd never been on the receiving end of any furtive but romantic gestures, and you really didn't get any interested vibes from anyone in the office, no lingering glances or excuses to spend more time with you. The person who paid you the most amount of attention was Shouto, which was to be expected, considering how closely you worked together. And obviously he wasn't interested, he was just happy to stand in your doorway spouting wild conspiracies about his agency staffers like they were completely reasonable things to say.
“I don’t have a secret admirer,” you told him.
Shouto’s mouth pressed into a thin line and he took an intent step forward into your office. “Is the point of a secret admirer not to be exactly that--secret? How can you be sure?”
You couldn’t help it--you gaped at him, your face going weirdly warm. Okay, was he--was he serious? You obviously weren’t the most unfortunate creature on earth, and you even had your good days, but nobody in their right mind was going to attempt anything with you when there were girls like Nejire Hado and Ibara Shiozaki roaming the hallways of his agency. Even several of the analysts and most of the support crew had you beat out in terms of appeal--literally bless this man for his obvious indifference to your appearance.
“I, uh--thanks for your confidence in me,” you said, fighting down a laugh. “But I assure you, it definitely wasn’t meant for me. I just have to figure out who left it and who they meant it for.”
Shouto shifted impatiently, like he was waiting for something.
“You’re so certain,” he said, sounding frustrated.
“Of course I am,” you waved at him vaguely. It was actually super cute that he thought you could net yourself a dude who was willing to shell out Grégoire Chardin dollars, but you were just wasting time now, lingering over the least important part of this entire affair. “Listen, Shouto. I know sometimes men talk in the locker rooms. If you--if you hear anything, will you let me know? I just want to return it, it looks way too good sitting here.”
It was actually taking all your willpower not to open it and avail yourself of Japan’s finest chocolate, considering you would never have another opportunity like this again. Maybe you should just pretend it was for you....Really, no one could fault you for opening something left in your own office. But...no. No, you knew better.
Shouto appeared indifferent to your internal struggle. He watched you for a long moment, his features impassive. “Under one condition,” he finally allowed.
You cocked an ear to show you were listening, rifling around with the paperwork on your desk to distract yourself from the chocolate. You were strong, a good person. You had willpower like steel. You did not need to eat it, no no no.
“If no one comes looking for it by the end of the day, you will open it,” he said, moving closer.
You glanced up at him, shocked. “Shouto, this is someone else’s gift,” you hissed. “I can’t just open it.”
He placed a large palm down on your desk, leaning over you slightly. “That is my bargain.”
“You want me to steal somebody’s shit in your own agency,” you accused him. You tried not to pay attention to how close he had gotten, how straight his nose was up close, the way his eyes seemed brighter and his mouth pulled into a pout almost too pretty for a man.
The rest of his expression slipped into something like annoyance, matching his pout. “If no one comes for it, then it must be evident that it was meant for you.”
You suppressed a derisive laugh. Now was not the time to get shirty with your own boss, especially when his delusions were kind of sweet. It was honestly just short of a miracle that a man who looked like Shouto did could possibly think anyone on earth would have a thing for you, regardless of his own tastes.
“What if they’re just too shy to ask for it back?” you asked, watching those heterochromatic eyes flick over you curiously.
“If it’s as expensive as you say, someone will come looking,” he said. Which was actually kind of annoyingly reasonable.
A smirk flitted across his maddeningly perfect face when you failed to come up with another argument. He had a point, and he knew it.
You let out a gusty sigh. “Fine, but only because I’m certain someone will come looking for it. Please be subtle when you’re gathering info, okay? I'm sure this is embarrassing for whoever made this mistake.”
Shouto looked almost offended. “I am perfectly capable of being subtle,” he intoned in his deep voice.
This time, you did laugh. He was quiet, maybe, very perceptive, and unobtrusive when he wanted to be, but no one had ever accused the man of possessing tact. “Yeah, okay. Just, try to channel more subtlety than you think you need, okay? No one else but the sender needs to know about the mix up.”
There was a moment of silence, and then Shouto was leaning over you more fully, eyes glittering strangely as his clean, fresh scent met your nose. You froze in your chair, brain going horrifyingly vacant as he leaned impossibly nearer. What the fuck was he doing?
“It will be like I’m not even asking,” Shouto promised, his voice light. “Not asking anyone at all.”
You tried to scrape your thoughts back into something resembling order, but the effort was all but futile. You needed to get him out of your space stat before you embarrassed yourself.
”Okay, then it’s a deal,” you said quickly. “Now go...flambé a villain or something.”
Shouto lingered for a long moment, his mouth curling a little at the corner, like he was being let in on a secret you couldn’t hear. His eyes brushed over you, almost like a physical touch. And then he was gone, pulling open the door to your office, looking annoyingly pleased with himself.
“You will see,” he said by way of farewell. “You will find out how subtle I can be.”
You stared at him in confusion, but he didn’t explain himself. He just smirked, and closed the door behind himself.

Happy Engagement
Relationship: Loki x Reader Warnings: contains some dark elements: manipulation Summary: Loki has always thought of you as his and there isn’t anything he won’t do to keep it that way. A/N: I’ve been sitting on this one shot for a while! I had the idea for it months ago and finally wrote it and then it just sat on my computer while I wrote other stuff but I figured since I don’t have anything really new this week it’d be perfect to put out! I hope you enjoy it because I greatly do :)
Masterlist
Loki had always been an interesting force in your life.
You two met when you were just children in school. You two were the official unofficial outsides of your school year — he was a prince, you were a peasant. Despite his royal standing, he’d play with you at recess. For these outlier ways, you two never interacted much with the other kids, life practically forcing you two to one another.
At such a young age, you hadn’t realized how significant this bond would become. As a child, you were just glad someone was talking to you. He shouldn’t have even been looking at you, should’ve maybe been disgusted with your presence alone. You should’ve been some onlooker, amazed by him and his magic but you weren’t — well, except for the magic part. His magic was little when you were kids but it drew quite the amazement from you.
Over time, you two naturally grew with one another. From childhood into your teens and still, now, you two made an unlikely pair of best friends as young adults. All of this though did not come without some bumps along the way.
In your teens, Loki had almost completely shut you out. For some reason, he seemed to be acting embarrassed by you. Your mother had warned you this may happen but you thought he was different, swore he was, unless his sincerity was like the many other tricks he played. Eventually, supposedly after some talking down from his brother, Loki appeared back at your door asking if you wanted to go for a walk.
This disappearing and coming back had become a habit for him over his teenage years and into adulthood. Loki never explicitly told you why but you could tell there was something eating away at him. It had been there a long time and it felt like disassociating himself with you was his solution.
You thought everything was coming to an abrupt end when you fell pregnant. You had been seeing a nobleman who was a regular customer in your parents’ shop. He was absolutely charming and delightful, practically swept you right off your feet within minutes of meeting. Your parents were ecstatic when he asked to court you.
You yourself were stunned but you ran to tell Loki about it. He was speechless. You tried telling him about the man but something in Loki snapped. He got unreasonably upset, spewing hateful comments about the man, practically forcing you out of his chambers in the process. He went radio silent again.
You tried to ignore losing your best friend — again — and focused on your new relationship. He wooed you endlessly with dates to lavish dinners and dawning you in lovely gowns. It was all so much more than you had ever expected in life. He’d tell you you deserved it and whisper sweet nothings in your ear as you two would get so lost in one another.
A bit shamefully, hypnotized by the romantics of it all, you gave yourself to him. Tangled in the sheets with him as your guide, you let the man you felt you would marry have every last bit of you.
And for a while after, it was blissful. Nothing had seemed to change between you two until he announced he had to go away for a bit. Confused, you asked why suddenly now facing the fact you were losing another person in your life. He explained he was needed by his father on a different realm, part of the family "business," as he described it.
Days after his departure, you learned you were pregnant. Around this time, Loki popped back up in your life. You felt relieved having someone to confide in but when you told him of your pregnancy, he was far from the supportive force you thought you’d get. He didn’t yell or get upset per se but he was beyond stunned.  
He left for a bit then but can back in less time than last. This time he brought along baby supplies and congratulated you. It was a complete one-eighty from his prior behavior but you accepted it, gratefully. Loki ended up being your main person throughout the pregnancy as clues of when your boyfriend would return were nonexistent.
"Did he know you were carrying his child when he left?" Loki had asked you one night. You two were sitting in the living room of the makeshift house you had acquired. You didn’t feel very good that this was the home you were bringing a child into when you knew her father could’ve provided her with a better one. But, at the end of the day, it was a roof over both your heads.
You crocheted another knot in the baby blanket. "No, he didn’t. I didn’t even know."
Loki gave a passing hum at that answer. He didn’t ask about your boyfriend very much after that.
Once your baby girl arrived, she became your entire world, your entire focus. Between caring for her and working to provide, you had little time to worry about your boyfriend still being gone. But it wasn’t as lonely as it may have looked because Loki was always by your side. Working around his royal duties, he’d take time to come visit you and your daughter even sometimes staying for dinner or to play with her. You didn’t miss how he was unintentionally becoming the father she was missing. You never said anything, though, always biting your tongue as you waited for her father to return.
Hope began to face on that front after your daughter turned three. Maybe he was just a footnote in your life, a foolish hopeful dream, but at least he had given you the lovely gift of your child. You weren’t giving up, still placing him in the boyfriend spot of your mind, but you couldn’t deny doubt crept in. Maybe a relationship of any capacity just wasn’t in the cards for you.
Or so you thought.
As Loki continued with his royal responsibilities, he was growing older and more powerful. That’s when the rumors of marriage began floating about. Your mother had brought it up to you once asking if you met any of his potential suitors. Your stomach did a somersault. You didn’t even know there were suitors, let alone met any of them. You tried to keep your cool and just told her no.
Who these suitors were and if they really existed, you never found out. You never even had the guts to ask about them especially after Loki pulled you aside one night after a dinner at the palace.
He rarely ever invited you to dinners with his family so to get this spontaneous invitation, you didn’t hesitate to attend. He even allowed you to bring along your daughter. She was playing with some servants’ children when Loki asked you to the garden.
"Feeling like a nighttime stroll?" You asked with a little laugh. Loki just smiled.
"There’s actually something I want to speak to you about."
"Oh," you frowned. "Is everything okay?"
Loki nodded. "Yes, yes, everything is fine." He looked up at the sky, almost lost in thought as you walked. You thought for a split second how lovely he looked. "I’m sure you have heard by now the…talk about my anticipated engagement."
Your heart practically stopped beating at that moment. Your hands instinctively gripped at the skirt of your dress as if you were ready to run away at the drop of a hat. Trying to keep your voice stead, you said, "Yes, I believe my mother mentioned that to me the other day."
He shot you an unreadable side glance. Your hands gripped the fabric tighter. Why were you feeling like this? Was that…jealousy you felt? You didn’t understand where that had come from. This was your best friend. Your prince best friend. He was bound to get married and have a lavish life with his bride. You couldn’t stop that, you couldn’t change it.
"Do you know anything of the women I have been offered?"
Was this another one of his cruel jokes? You wanted to vomit all over the bushes of flowers passing you as you walked. You managed to shake your head in response. "I’m sure they’re all wonderful."
He scoffed. "More like they’re all incredibly boring."
You gasped, "Loki, I’m not sure you should be speaking that way of them."
"It’s doesn’t matter," he shrugged, "because none of them are what I want."
You didn’t know if you actually wanted to know what he was seeking. You looked at him wearily.
You two walked in silence for a moment. Loki was now watching the ground intensely. You couldn’t believe how much his gaze was wandering. It must’ve been for courage because the next words out of his mouth were ones you had never thought you’d ever hear. From anyone.
"I believe you could be what I want," he said. He spoke your name so softly. "I’d like to ask for your hand in marriage."
You stopped walking, your legs suddenly unable to move. Your eyes grew wide as complete shock raced over you. You didn’t know what to do, too scared to speak because you didn’t know what was going to come out. Your first thought was that this was one of his magic tricks. Maybe he wasn’t even here, just a clone of him as he wished to make a fool of you. It wouldn’t be the first time but he had never been so cruel.
"You’re not saying anything," Loki noted. He had stopped a few feet ahead of you, completely taken off guard by your halt.
"I-I don’t understand." The words felt so heavy forcing their way out of your mouth.
"I don’t believe I stuttered, dear."
Your jaw dropped, surprised it hadn’t hit the floor already. He was seriously asking this. Loki, a literal prince, and your best friend, was asking for your hand in marriage. But — But you just didn’t know why. Why would he ask such a thing? Not only were you an unwed mother, he knew very well about your boyfriend. It was almost insulting he’d think you’d give up just because business or whatever it was was taking a while. You didn’t even want to begin to think about what this could all mean for your daughter.
"Loki… I… I don’t know. This seems crazy—,"
"Crazy?" His expression turned dark. You suddenly regretted the word despite it holding true. "What is so crazy about me wanting to take your hand? I thought this could be good. You and your daughter would have everything you’d ever want. You’d be a princess for crying out loud!"
You flinched at his anger. You had never seen him so enraged before. It made your whole body stiffen.
"I see. This… This is very generous of you but my boyfriend…"
Loki chuckled but there wasn’t any humor found within it. "Of course. The nobleman." He rolled his eyes. "Tell me again, dear, how long has it been? Do you really think he’s going to just show back up one day?"
"Of course," you nodded. "He told me—,"
"He’s not coming back."
You began shaking your head, growing more and more upset as the seconds passed. "You don’t know that."
Loki sighed, defeatedly. "I do know that, dear." A heavy pause. "I know that because I’m the one that sent him away."
You were certain in that moment your heart had stopped. Everything had stopped. You could barely tell anymore how you got from point A to point B.
"Wh-What do you mean?"
"What I mean is I’ve had my eye on you for a long time," he explained. He was standing so tall making you feel minuscule. "I always thought you could be just right for me but then that nobleman waltzed into your life. Granted, he wasn’t me. He couldn’t give you what I could but he tried his best." Loki shrugged. "I had no choice, really. He threatened everything. He derailed my plan but it’s alright. I think after tonight it’ll be back on track, correct?"
You held your hands up in defense, practically begging Loki to slow down. Your head was spinning. "You sent away the father of my child?"
Loki sighed, sounding actually regretful. "Truly, that wasn’t ever my intention. I didn’t know he was going to do that."
"And you think since you forced him out of the picture, you can swoop in and ask for my hand in marriage? We never had a courtship! Are you even hearing yourself?"
"I’m a prince, darling." He sounded so casual. "We do not court like the rest of you."
Gosh, you felt like you were going to vomit. Your hands fell to your stomach as you tried to calm yourself. You had never heard Loki separate you two so clearly before. Like he had drawn a line, definitively.
Your words tasted like venom as you forced yourself to speak. "Can I at least think about it?"
"I’m afraid not. They’d like an answer tonight."
Tonight. That was what this dinner had been for. You weren’t invited just out of the kindness of his heart. You had been attending your own engagement party.
"Loki, this… I— This is insane. You’re— You’re insane—,"
"Am I, really?" He pressed, taking a few steps closer. You trembled under a darkened gaze you had never seen before on him. "I’m not sure that’s how you should be speaking to the man trying to offer you a bit of… stability."
"Stability?" You repeated. "You think that’s all that I want?"
"Would this not grant your daughter a better life? The little shop of yours is only getting you two so far, dear."
The shock had worn off as you were now being filled with rage. "Don’t you dare bring my daughter into this anymore," you gritted. "Of course, I want nothing but the best for her but I also deserve someone who will truly love me. You’re — You’re just asking to fulfill some royal commitment and trying to pass it off like this is some big, grand gesture to help me."
Loki looked a bit taken back by your words. Even you were a bit surprised by yourself. You didn’t know where this fight was coming from within you. Probably from the depths of motherhood, if you had to guess. But it felt good in a way.
After a heavy moment, Loki asked, "Was I so wrong to assume this proposal could actually help us both?"
That was the real kicker of it all, you thought. This actually could help you both.
"I want to marry someone who loves me."
Loki seemed to debate around the idea mentally. "I’m certain that within time something could bloom. I’m not a psychopath, darling." He smirked. "But I truly can’t believe you’d give this up all for the minuscule chance at love, the hopeless thing that got you where you are today."
You gasped. "I would’ve had true love if you hadn’t banished him away!"
Loki let out a humorless laugh. "You are so adorable, you know that?" You flinched as he got close enough now to place a hand on your damp cheek. You were practically forced to look in his eyes as he spoke. "That man was nothing but a spoiled brat and I refuse to believe you actually fell for his game."
You felt yourself crumbling down again. Way beneath him. "He… He was really…"
"Don’t you dare try to defend him, do you hear me?" Loki spat. That darkness was washing over but this time it felt like a storm you couldn’t escape. "I will not have my bride speak such niceties about another man."
"Your bride—,"
"While I’ve enjoyed this little midnight confessional, we have some good news to share with everyone, don’t we?"
You didn’t know what to do. What to think anymore. He wasn’t letting up. You were trapped. It was like the prison gate had shut behind you. You were stone-cold now, completely under his control. You were giving up in complete defeat. You could scream until you were blue in the face but you were running in circles. At least your daughter would know a home.
"Yes."
Loki’s face lit up. He removed his hands from you. "Fantastic," he said, heading back towards the palace. You helplessly followed beside him. He wrapped an arm around your waist and said, "Happy engagement, dear."

a friendly favor | five
Tumblr media
{danny wagner x fem!reader} fake it til you make it collection: phase four!
summary: when a friend needs a little help showing his ex that he’s moved on, you’re a little too willing to help him out.
word count: 2.6k
warnings: language, first date vibes, one or two mentions of sex
a note from me: i literally cannot believe this collection is complete--as a way of saying thank you to everyone who's said such sweet things to me, keeping up with this since the very first part, and inspired me to keep going, i'm posting the final part early (and maybe bc i'm too excited to wait to share the new things i'm working on).
You really didn't expect to be so nervous about your date with Danny.
Hell, the two of you had slept together--twice including the sleepy, lazy sex that had occurred the last morning at the Kiszka lake house. He'd seen and touched all of you, and you had done the same for him. You'd cried in his lap with your tits out after confessing your embarrassing crush on him.
Still, even after days of pretending to be his girlfriend and all of that mess, you were buzzing with nerves as you watched the minutes slowly tick by. You'd gotten ready hours ago, too anxious to wait until a more reasonable time, and you were beginning to regret it as time seemed to move slower and slower as it drew closer to his designated time. Plenty of time for you to fret over your appearance, and ponder all the ways the date could go wrong.
Already you'd changed your outfit five times. In the end, you'd ended up in the same outfit you had started out in. The pile of clothes on your bedroom floor was the only hint that you'd ever changed at all, and you had tripped over it more than a few times as you paced around your space nervously.
You had attempted to fix your makeup, and only ended up doing a shit job at eyeliner and had to start all over. Since then you'd banished yourself from even looking in the mirror, which led you to where you sat on your sofa now. Ten more minutes were all that separated you and Danny, and those ten minutes felt like centuries.
It wasn't like you hadn't seen him in awhile, because that day was the first day you'd spent away from him since the two of you had returned to your apartments the week prior. If you weren't at his, then he was at yours, and the only reason it had taken a week to finally get around to your official date was because you both were more than happy to just be homebodies together. Tonight, though, he had insisted on taking you out.
Thinking of it made you grow nervous about your choice of outfit again. He had said to dress casual, that it wasn't anything special, but the anxious energy that consumed you made you question your choices. Were the ripped jeans too casual? Was the flowery shirt too fancy?
Luckily, Danny knocked on your door before you could get up and dig through your closet again. You didn't bother to hesitate as you raced to the door and threw it open, grinning excitedly at the man who matched your energy with a beaming smile of his own. He held his arms open expectantly, catching you as you raced into his chest like you'd done every day since the two of you had gotten home.
"Ready?" he asked, and you nodded enthusiastically.
Danny's fingers intertwined with your own, his warm hand enveloping yours and squeezing your palm tenderly. "Wait!" you suddenly exclaimed before he could lead you down the hall, his body freezing as he turned to you with wide eyes. "Where's my kiss?"
He scowled, though you could see his eyes twinkling with amusement and fond affection, and mused, "I think that's supposed to come at the end of the first date, angel."
It was your turn to scowl, pouting your lips indignantly at his teasing as you refused to budge from where you stood. He playfully tried to continue down the hall, tugging on your hand lightly before turning back with a faux sigh, "Fine, if you insist--"
You didn't wait for him to finish, snatching your hand out of his grip to clasp his cheeks tightly and drag his face to your own. "I do insist." you tutted, glaring playfully one more time before you pressed your lips to his. Immediately he relaxed into you, smiling against your lips as his thumbs tucked through the belt loops on your jeans to tug you flush with his body.
He chased after you when you pulled away too soon, smirking tauntingly as you chirped, "Okay, now I'm ready. Let's go." Danny simply shook his head, a dopey lovesick grin pulling at his cheeks despite his attempts to feign annoyance as he let you grab his hand again and drag him off toward the elevator.
By the time he parked his car, you were pretty sure he wasn't faking his annoyance anymore. He was laughing, and still smiling, but he scowled the moment you opened your mouth to pester him about where you were going for the thirtieth time, and you quickly shut it. That brought his smile back, and you didn't feel embarrassed about your childishness for long when he leaned over the center console to press a sweet peck to your lips.
Danny was serious about doing things right, you realized. He raced out of the car and around to your door before you could even unbuckle your seatbelt, opening your door for you with a playful bow as you thanked him just as dramatically. Your eyes scanned your surroundings curiously, the late afternoon sun warming your skin as you took in the massive field of low, rolling hills of grass. There was a pond in the distance, and you could see people milling about the banks with fishing poles or just strolling the water's edge leisurely.
Just as you turned to ask what you were doing, Danny closed the rear passenger door of his car and handed you a blanket. In his hand he held a picnic basket, and after you took the blanket he held his free hand out to you expectantly. You matched his dopey, lovesick grin as you wound your fingers through his happily.
He led you across the open field slowly, chuckling to himself each time you squeezed his hand or skipped a little in your excitement. You couldn't quite explain it, but he brought out the childish side of you. His presence alone made you feel so happy and free, and you had no shame about showing it to him. In fact, it only made you happier to see him watch you flit about him with a fondness in his eye that you'd never been on the receiving end of before with anyone else.
Maybe it was just the honeymoon phase, for real this time, or maybe it was something more. Only time would tell, but you were ready to take on the challenge and find out. Even if the childlike joy he sparked within your heart faded over time, you were certain the warm and fuzzy feeling he gave you would never go away. It had been there since the very first time you saw him, and hadn't faded since.
"Here looks like a good spot, don't you think?" he asked, slowing his stride until he stopped at the top of a taller hill. From there the two of you could look out over the entire field, from the pond far below to the treeline in the distance. It was a gorgeous view, and the sun warming your skin against the gentle breeze that swept through the open space only made it all the better.
You agreed easily, finally letting go of his hand to spread out the blanket with some minor difficulty due to the wind that always seemed to pick up when a person wanted to do that very thing. After laughing at your plunder for a few moments, he eventually took pity and stepped on the corner that kept giving you trouble to hold it down. He set the basket on the opposite corner, before plopping onto his butt gracelessly beside you.
A picnic had been the last thing you'd imagined as you had pondered over what Danny's plans for your first date would be. It was perfect, though, and you told him as much as you sighed happily, "I think this is the best date anyone's ever taken me on."
"We haven't even done anything yet," he laughed, brown eyes sparkling as he met your gaze, "I could have packed really disgusting food, or a bird could poop on us. Don't jinx it."
Rolling your eyes, you smiled fondly as he reached up to twist his wild hair into a bun as the breeze picked up again. "I wouldn't care," you shrugged, "I've never had anyone take me on a picnic before, let alone surprise me with one. I was half expecting to make out in the back of a movie theater like every other first date I've been on, but this is better."
He scoffed, pressing a hand to his chest in mock offense as he joked, "What, you don't want to make out right now?"
"If you're offering, I won't refuse." you retorted with a smirk, and laughed when a faint blush crept up his cheeks. "Danny, you literally choked me and called me good girl last weekend--are you really blushing over making out?"
You squealed when his hand suddenly pressed into your face, shoving you away from him with a groan, "Shut up. I'm not the one who cried in the middle--"
"Truce!" you cried, scrambling to put a hand over his mouth as your own face began to burn in embarrassment, "I give, okay? Truce. No more teasing."
He was cackling as you scowled at him, fixing your hair even though the wind immediately blew it back into your face. "If you're done being a brat," he fixed you with a pointed look and an arrogant smirk that made your entire body flush with heat, "I packed us a five-star meal."
You watched patiently as he flipped open the basket, pulling out juice boxes and the equivalent of a grade schooler's sack lunch. There were sandwiches wrapped in cling wrap, and little bags of chips, and even two baggies filled with grapes and cut strawberries. You giggled at the sight, teasing, "I didn't realize I was on a date with such a world-class chef. I'd have worn my fancy pants if I'd known."
Danny grinned and bumped his shoulder against your own, joking back, "Oh, my mom made this. I just put it all in the basket--it was pretty hard."
Regardless of the way you both devolved into laughter, you were serious as you hummed, "It's perfect. I love it, thank you, Danny."
The two of you fell into a comfortable silence as you began unwrapping sandwiches and tearing open bags of chips. It was peaceful and comforting as you sat side by side, arms brushing against one another with only the sounds of nature around you interrupting the tranquil quiet. There were birds chirping, and the faint sound of the pond rippling against its shore under the breeze, and you could hear the tree branches swaying and leaves rustling amidst the gentle gusts.
You'd only just swallowed your first bite when he piped up, "Did you want to make out right now?"
"Yes, please."
You had no shame at all about dropping your food onto the blanket, eagerly clambering onto his lap with your knees on either side of his legs. Wasting no time at all, you pressed your lips to his and melted into his embrace. His arms wrapped around you, holding you close with no urgency to go any further, just simply keeping you as close as possible. It was slow, and languid, and perfect.
Over the past week, you'd come to learn that Danny most often tasted of pure sugar. Sweet, almost overwhelmingly so, and it was quickly becoming your favorite taste. You were addicted to it, constantly craving his lips on yours and his essence mingling with your own. It was so much better than the overpowering taste of tequila you'd experienced the first time around.
You had also learned that Danny really did prefer to take his time. While the wild, dominant side you'd experienced the first time was definitely something you enjoyed and would have liked to fall victim to once more, you were more than content with his usual slow and steady pace. He touched you, kissed you, loved you like he had all the time in the world to do so. If you had anything to do with it, you'd make sure he did.
When the need to breathe became too urgent to ignore, you pulled away with a little sigh. It was a happy, blissful sigh, and your belly fluttered when he let out his own little sound to mirror it. Your forehead pressed gently against his, the tips of your noses brushing against one another, and you smiled.
"What's that smile for?" he murmured, and it only made you smile harder.
Hands clinging to the back of his neck, you caught his plush lips in one more shorter kiss. Your voice was barely a whisper as you replied, "I'm just happy."
Eventually, the two of you did get around to eating.
You ate your sandwiches quietly, and then threw grapes into each other's mouths with loud shouts and far more laughter than was necessary. He fed you strawberries and kissed you after each one like tasting them off your tongue was better than eating them himself. You didn't mind, in fact, you quite preferred it that way.
When all the food was gone, you packed up the trash into the basket and laid back on the blanket as the stars slowly started to flicker to life in the darkening sky. He'd mentioned watching the sunset, but you told him that was better. You'd much rather lay with your head on his chest and watch the stars light up for you than see another sunset.
As the sun faded away, and the night crept over the two of you, you were at peace. It felt like you were exactly where you were always meant to be as you laid on the ground with his arms around you, the warmth of his body easing the subtle bite of the cooler nighttime air. Things were still so new, so uncertain, but you weren't afraid.
He played with your hair and traced letters and shapes into your skin, and you could have stayed right there forever. Of course, the night grew colder, and eventually, you couldn't ignore the subtle shivers that began to crawl up and down your spine any longer. "Ready to go, angel?" he asked quietly, and you reluctantly sat up with a nod.
"Can I stay with you tonight?" you asked as the two of you made the journey back to his car, hands locked together once more.
He held your door open for you again, smiling brightly as he answered, "You don't even have to ask. The answer's always yes."
You were quiet in the car this time around, reclining in your seat with a content smile on your lips. Your eyelids were drooping slightly with lethargy, and you didn't try to fight it because you had all the time in the world. You weren't worried about missing anything by falling asleep, because you knew that come the morning Danny would still be there, right by your side.
So, you happily let your eyes slip shut and your head fall back against the headrest as the quiet music playing over his radio lulled you to sleep. His hand was warm on your thigh, thumb swirling aimless patterns against your skin through one of the holes in your jeans, and it felt like heaven. He squeezed your leg just before you slipped into a dream, and for once your dream was exactly like real life.

Tumblr media
“Oh, come on, ‘Kaashi,” you said, setting your hand on your hip. You were standing around in the middle of the classroom with him and a few others, waiting for your professor to show up who was no doubt getting a coffee from the overflowing Starbucks down the street. Class would be half over before he finally arrived. “It’s just a few scary movies.”
“Sorry, _____. I have to study and I just know that trying to watch movies with you and study is gonna be a nightmare,” he said, giving you a sympathetic look. “And give me nightmares.”
You rolled your eyes and looked around to Bokuto, who was scrolling through his phone while he chatted with Yaku about the next practice. That was a hard no. Poor Bo would agree without complaint and wind up with nightmares for a week, clinging to you throughout the night. Catching Akaashi’s eye, you exchanged knowing looks and chuckles.
“Hey, _____,” Semi said from your other side. He was busy filling out a music sheet with notes for his next possible song, and the way he said your name indicated he was more focused on that than your quandary.
Still, you turned to look at him over your shoulder, quirking your eyebrow at him. When he didn’t immediately continue, you prompted him. “What’s up?”
“Oh, right,” he said, looking up from the paper. He gave you a small smile and tapped the tip of his pencil on the desk in a smooth rhythm, leaving small marks all over the surface. “You should see if Tendo wants to join you. He’s really into horror movies too.”
“Um, who?”
Semi’s eyes widened in surprise and he pointed over his shoulder. You could hear Akaashi snicker from your other side. The chair on Semi’s other side tipped back on its back legs, and a man with close-cut red hair peeked around his back, waving cheekily at you.
“Hi, name’s Tendo Satori. I’ve only been hanging around you for about two weeks now,” he said and, though he sounded lighthearted and jovial about it, you could see the way his eyes remained narrowed, scrutinizing you. And he didn’t look impressed.
You flushed bright red, realizing you did know him but had never committed his name to memory. Mostly because he hadn’t ever really said anything to you or seemed interested in you at all. 
“I-- well, I’m sorry,” you offered awkwardly. But you meant it, at least. You felt a bit bad now that he was in your face. Trying to lighten the mood, you joked, “I’m _____ _____ and my brain space is committed to horror movies and studying. No space for names I’m afraid.”
Semi rolled his eyes and Akaashi heaved a long-suffering sigh, covering his eyes with his hand, but Tendo laughed at your stupid joke. His eyes eased up, his smile relaxing, and he now looked genuinely interested. 
“A horror movie marathon, huh? I’m interested. Why don’t you tell me more?”
--
Tendo didn’t actually expect it to go his way. As with most other people, he was sure you were just faking your enthusiasm and would flake out once you were free of him. 
And yet when lunch rolled around and your group of friends were standing in the breezeway, shivering as you tried to pick out some place to go and eat off campus, you fell into step beside him.
“I really am sorry for not knowing who you were,” you offered, adjusting your bag on your shoulder and slipping a pair of gloves on. “Could we, maybe--”
He cut you off, grinning. “Forgiven and forgotten, _____.”
Hesitantly, you smiled back. He was strange, to be sure. Even though you hadn’t really had a true conversation with him yet, you got the feeling he was different, eccentric and unpredictable maybe. The way he harassed the shit out of Semi and some of the others was hysterical, though. You couldn’t pinpoint what it was that made you feel that way, but it wasn’t bad. You were even a little curious.
“Okay cool. So if, by chance, we were to do this movie marathon, how would you feel about cannibals?” you asked, tapping your chin thoughtfully. It was a theme you had been thinking about for a while, but none of your friends were into horror movies much, let alone a dozen or so movies centered around such a gory theme.
Tendo clicked his tongue and you heard a strange clink. “Hypothetically, right?”
“Right,” you said, your eyes zeroed in on his mouth, waiting for him to speak again.
He hummed, his lips curling in thought and his eyes narrowing as he stared off in the distance. Second in height only to Bokuto, he towered over everyone even though the two of you walked together at the back of the group. Speaking of Bokuto, you could hear him over the chatter of the other students around you, talking about the diner just a block away from the school and guessed that that was where you were going. 
Then he shrugged. “That sounds rad. What’re you thinking? Hypothetically.”
“Well, obviously gotta go with The Hills Have Eyes. I mean, it’s a classic. And then of course Wrong Turn because there’s so many of those. And, uh…that’s all I have, but that’s literally like 8 movies and if we get past those I don’t know what we’ll do,” you said, weaving through the throngs of people on the sidewalk. You had forgotten you had been trying to see what was in his mouth just a few minutes ago as you avoided toes. You could see the diner sign up ahead, reading “Newly Opened” and a list of menu items, but it was otherwise obscured from your view.
A gasp from Tendo startled you and you whipped around to look at him, only to find him staring at you in disbelief.
He had to fight the laugh in his chest from coming up at the wide-eyed, freaked out look on your face as he said, “I cannot believe you’ve forgotten the most classic of classic cannibal movies, _____. How could you forget The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies?”
Relief mingled with amusement on your face when you realized what he was getting at, and you covered your mouth as you laughed. Putting on your best ashamed expression, you closed your eyes. “I can’t believe I forgot those. I’m such a fake fan.”
“Kicked out of the club for sure,” he said, holding the door open for you. The bustle of the diner drowned out anything more Tendo said as you followed the others towards a large table in the back corner. After that, you were seated between Semi and Akaashi and the conversation was halted.
For the time being.
--
You didn’t bring up the marathon again, though you snagged Tendo’s number the day after you went to the diner. The conversation started out about movies and morphed into other topics like majors, highschools, how he knew Eita and how you had met Bokuto and Akaashi, amongst others. It left Tendo in a bit of confusion. The two of you kept up a steady stream of communication throughout the day, even sneaking in texts during classes that could net you extra work or pop quizzes. And yet never once was the marathon mentioned.
Part of him was bummed because he had kind of been looking forward to the movies, but the larger part of him was unsurprised. Something like that was way too intimate, and for someone like you to want to do something like that with a-- someone like him was too much to hope for. He was just happy that you weren’t avoiding him like most others did; he wasn’t going to ask for more.
Except he kind of did want more, and he didn’t want to feel that. The disappointment was already tangible on his tongue and he swallowed it down every time he saw you in the hall, chatting or laughing with someone else. It would ease slightly when you would turn to look in his direction, flashing a smile and waving as you passed by. In class, you started sitting beside him, Bokuto and Akaashi often following behind, and he found his small group of friends growing because of you. Bokuto was loud and brash and treated him like they were best friends, and Akaashi’s quiet demeanor reminded him a lot of Ushijima. Except he was maybe a little more expressive. 
You even started walking home with him, parting ways when you had to go in different directions with a soft smile and a shine in your eyes that he tried not to read too much into. He enjoyed those days, when no one else was around and he just talked. You even knew some of the manga he read, and he lost himself rambling about Jump. When he brought it up once, about how he talked too much, you shook your head frantically. 
“No, no, I don’t mind! It reminds me of Bokuto, to be honest. He can talk about anything and keep a conversation going so easily. I’m kinda jealous,” you said, giving him that satisfied smile again.
He tried to clamp down on the feelings, to keep a tight rein on the emotions that kept trying to pull his eyes in your direction anytime he heard your voice or drew his thoughts to you late at night.
Sighing, he rubbed his eyes, frustrated at the fact that he was thinking of you a-fuckin’-gain. Didn’t he have enough to worry about without wondering what you thought of him? He already knew. You weren’t interested. It was fine.
His phone dinged, the screen lighting up to reveal your name and a text.
You: ‘watcha up to?’ Tendo: ‘nm. studying and suffering. you?’ Y: ‘“studying” sksks what’re you doing tomorrow night by chance?’
Tendo’s heart stuttered in his chest and he groaned, barely resisting the urge to fling his phone out the frost covered window in front of him. For the love of god, could the universe stop fucking with him? Clicking his tongue, he considered telling you he was busy. It would be easiest, and save him the disappointment that was sure to accompany whatever you had planned.
But his fingers were traitorous and typed out exactly what he didn’t want to say. Or so he told himself.
T: ‘nothin. what’re you thinkin?’ Y: ‘well...i’m thinkin about cannibals’
Tendou snorted at that and watched the three little dots appear again.
Y: ‘and u’
He choked and slammed his phone down on the desk, wincing and immediately picking it back up to check the damage. No, no way, he wouldn’t look at it like that. It wasn’t like that. You were just inviting him for the movie marathon in a totally platonic way.
Another message came in.
Y: ‘and me’
You were actually trying to kill him.
--
He could think of nothing the next day but how much he was looking forward to that night. Once he had finally gotten his shit together enough to text you back, the kinks had been worked out. It was almost a no brainer that he would be spending the night. A movie marathon with twelve movies meant an all-nighter, if the two of you could pull it off. He would go home after classes, while away the few hours until around six o’clock, and then head to the address you had given him. 
Unfortunately, he didn’t see much of you that day. You shared no classes, and you had a class when he took lunch, so he ate with Semi and Bokuto that day. Instead you snuck texts to him when you could, mostly talking about how excited you were for that night. It didn’t help, somehow both fanning and soothing his inner turmoil.
“Why do you look like you’re gonna throw up?” Semi asked at last. Tendo was staring at his half-eaten chicken sandwich like it had mortally offended him, and he was curious. 
Tendo jumped, having forgotten the other two were even with him, and shook his head. “Uh, nothin’.”
But Bokuto snickered and leaned in to whisper to Semi, who was already suspicious of his short, clipped answer. Whether he actually wanted to whisper or not, Tendo wasn’t sure, but Bo sure as shit didn’t manage it. “Him and _____ are gonna watch movies tonight.”
Of course you had told Bokuto. And probably Akaashi too. He wondered if they had changed their minds and decided to join you when they found out. It put a rather annoying feeling in his chest, like someone was squeezing his heart.
The other two were still talking in a loud whisper, watching Tendo’s expression shift and flicker through a myriad of emotions. Bokuto was lost, but Semi could recognize them after so many years of knowing the moody red-head, and wanted to laugh. He was so good at hiding his negative emotions, but when it came to sadness or happiness, he was like an open book. And he was being pretty obvious right then.
“Wow, that’s pretty big, Tendo,” he said, watching his friend closely. Tendo flinched, shrinking into his hoodie, and Semi nodded to himself. “Don’t let yourself get so worked up. She wouldn’t ask if she didn’t want to.”
He knew where Tendo’s insecurities were coming from. A childhood fraught with bullies and fake friends and people pretending they wanted him around only to treat him like a freak. Even through highschool it was that way, with a particularly nasty incident involving a girl pretending to want to date him that ended with Tendo refusing to come to school for almost a week. After that, he kept to himself and the volleyball club, refusing to even acknowledge that anyone else might actually want to get to know him seriously.
It had gotten a bit easier when he left Shiratorizawa and those memories and most of those people behind. Growing up with them was what had made it hardest, so surrounding himself with fresh people who didn’t have any preconceived notions and rumors about him had allowed him to open up a little. Even Ushijima, across the ocean in California, noticed a marked difference in Tendo’s demeanor.
Semi just hoped you didn’t do anything to send him spiralling back into his insecurities.
“Yeah, I guess.” 
It was easy for Semi to say that, but he had no idea what it was like, constantly worrying if people were being serious or if they were just waiting to pull the rug out from under him. Even now, he was fighting with himself to just get through the day, waiting constantly for you to change your mind and cancel the plans. Every time his phone lit up with your name, he expected it.
And yet, even after his classes ended and he arrived home, you didn’t. Just commenting that you would be MIA for a while while you cleaned the apartment and went to the store. And when you came back a few hours later, while he was binging Buzzfeed Unsolved videos, his heart leapt into his throat, but you were only telling him what you had gotten for him and to pick up anything else he might want on the way over.
The time couldn’t pass by fast enough while he busied himself packing as slowly as he could. He was already wearing sweatpants but brought a pair of basketball shorts just in case. A clean t-shirt and the other essential items he would need for the night went into a backpack, and when that was done he decided it was a good time to leave.
Unable to help himself, he sent you a text before he left, interrupting whatever you were already typing, the three little bubbles disappearing for a moment while you read his text.
T: ‘you sure you’re alright with this? i don’t have to come over’ Y: ‘?’ Y: ‘do u not want to!’ Y: ‘?*’ Y: ‘we can do this another time if you want’
He was typing before he could really think about the possibility that that might be the best option, his heart thumping harder than he liked in his chest, and he willed himself to take a deep breath. It was just two friends hanging out, watching horror movies together. Nothing more.
T: ‘no i do. was just making sure you were still ok w it.’ T: ‘leaving now to get snacks. your choices s u c k’ Y: ofc hurry up and get over here Y: ‘tf rude’
Locking the door behind him, he slung his bag onto his shoulder and sighed, hoping the night didn’t end as badly as his nerves were telling him it would.
--
Your doorbell rang an hour later, while you were in the middle of setting up your room for the binge. You were hoping he wouldn’t mind, but you didn’t want to make him uncomfortable either. It was hard to miss the nervousness and the way he seemed to shy away from you sometimes, especially when you did certain things like reach out to pull something off his hoodie or read something over his shoulder. But you wanted this to be as normal as possible, to prove to him you were genuine.
You liked Tendo. A lot. 
He was funny and sweet and just as eccentric as you had expected. His jokes were off-color but not offensive, just sarcastic and witty and you giggled every time. The way his face lit up when he heard you sent your heart into a frenzy, and the way it fell and he seemed to shrink into himself a moment later hurt. It didn't feel like a rejection of you but instead a rejection of himself and you wondered if there was any way to help him understand that you didn’t want anything from him but for him to be himself.
Upon opening the door, you found it was only the pizza delivery man, and you smiled with disappointment, until you spotted a shaved red-head coming up behind him.
Tendo gulped when he spotted you in your open doorway, wearing woolen leggings and a t-shirt, exchanging a box of pizza for cash and smiling brightly at him over the man’s shoulder. Waving, he waited until the stranger was out of the way before he approached you.
“Hey,” he greeted, peering down at you before scanning the empty living room of your apartment over your head.
You were unsurprised to see the wariness in his eyes, bleeding into the smile he was forcing on his face. It was your first time seeing a look so fake on him and for the first time you wondered if this was really a good idea. But it was only movies. And you liked Tendo. It would be fine.
So you smiled and ushered him in with one hand, the box perched precariously on your other, and watched him shrink into himself like he always did when he came within touching distance of you until he had passed into the living room. Then he just stood there, peering around with that same suspicious look, eyes narrowed and mouth turned down at the corners.
“So, what do you think?” you asked, pretending you hadn’t seen it as you moved into the kitchen. 
“It’s nice,” he answered, letting his bag hit the floor with a thump. The rest of the apartment was silent save for the heater going, and little by little he felt himself relaxing. “You didn’t have to go through all this trouble for little ol’ me, y’know.”
You giggled at the way he pointed at himself, wearing a cheesy grin as he walked into the kitchen. “Maybe not, but it’s been ages since I’ve been able to do anything like this. It’s as much for me as it is for you.” You punctuated your statement by poking him lightly in the chest, and he feigned pain.
“You wound me. And here I thought you were treating me special,” he moaned, leaning back against the counter and placing his hand over his forehead. He grinned a little hearing you giggle again, and then the pizza box hit his arm.
“I am treating you special, you goof,” you said, opening it up and letting the smell of cheese fill the kitchen. “With pizza. But I think we’d better take it into the bedroom, since that’s where we’ll be watching the movies. Just in case we fall asleep, you know,” you tacked on at the end, suddenly realizing how that might sound. Not that it meant anything, but again, you feared making him uncomfortable.
Absorbed in your thoughts, you missed the faint dusting of pink on his cheeks, clashing marvelously with his vibrant hair. You carried the box down to your bedroom with Tendo on your heels, eager to see your room. It was about what he expected from you-- a messy bed, a cluttered desk, clothes half in your laundry basket and half on the floor surrounding it. The TV sitting on your dresser was already set up with The Hills Have Eyes menu playing, volume muted. You set the box on the bed before smoothing the covers and crawling on.
Tendo hovered in the middle of your room, casting his eyes around nervously, looking for a chair or something to sit on. He definitely did not want to assume, but you patted the bed beside you, giving him a quizzical look.
“I’m not gonna bite, Tendo. Promise,” you said, and though you made it sound like a joke he could hear a line of seriousness at the core. Running his tongue over the back of his teeth, he walked slowly towards you, giving you every opportunity to change your mind, but you just looked impatient until he climbed on beside you. “Alright, now let’s get this started!”
--
Two movies in and the two of you had gotten pretty comfortable. Both of you had stretched out on the bed, but you had decided to lean up against the headboard with your pillows to support you while Tendo had opted to lay on his stomach with his head resting on his arms by your feet.
“Would you stop?” he laughed, pushing your foot away where it had been tapping incessantly at his shoulder. You were just doing it to annoy him, and you giggled at the irritated amusement in his voice.
The pizza box sat empty on the floor by the bed, but you found yourself craving something else to eat. When you hummed, Tendo looked away from the screen, rolling onto his side and propping his chin in his hand to watch you nibble at your lip. It was cute, he couldn’t lie, and the anxiety he had repressed by getting distracted by the movie came back slowly.
“What’s up?”
“I’m thinkin’ about...those chips,” you answered, and made to get up. You had to crawl over his long legs and almost fell off the bed as you gracelessly made your move, knee slipping off the small space between his leg and the edge of the mattress. Sticking your tongue out as he laughed at you, you pranced towards the door. 
“Bring my bags too, would you?” he called, pausing the movie since you had forgotten. It had just started, and you were lucky that he was nice enough to do it, especially when he heard your voice carry back down the hallway.
“Kiss my ass, Tendo.”
He laughed at that, loud enough that you could hear it from the kitchen and over the crinkling of the bags as you rifled through them. In the end, you shrugged and carried them all back down to your room, along with a few drinks. Maybe you wouldn’t have to get up again for a little while.
You shivered when you stepped back into the room. It wasn’t much warmer than the rest of the house, and now your arms and toes were cold. The heater was already set as high as it would go and hardly touched the chill, and you cursed the cheap piece of crap. 
“What, you cold?” he asked, pulling out a bag of the chips he had brought with him. The tab on a can of soda popped and he cursed as it fizzed over onto your blanket. “Shit, sorry.”
“No worries. Yeah, kinda. But the heater is already on full blast. Ugh,” you said, sitting beside him on the bed again. He was still wearing his hoodie, and up close he was warm, making you realize just how cold you were. You were just gonna have to crawl under your blankets because you would never survive the cold like that. “Wait…”
There was a tent on the screen where the movie had paused, and Tendo looked back and forth from it to you with curiosity. There was a calculating look on your face and he wasn’t sure he liked it. “Uh, what?”
There was no way he would agree to it. Way too intimate, right? But it really seemed like it’d be right up his alley, and it would be fun to build, and it would get you warm. It was the perfect idea really.
“Tendo, how do you feel about making...a pillow fort?”
The heater continued to buzz in the corner, overlaid by the slight static from the TV, while Tendo processed your question. His mouth had fallen open, brows furrowed while he stared at you in what could only be surprise, and you laughed nervously.
“Wha-- Seriously?”
“Um, you know what, nevermind. I guess it was a stupid idea. It just seemed like it might be fun and--”
He cut your babbling off with an excited wave of his arms, leaning forward into your space and in the light from the TV you could see a childlike happiness glowing in his eyes. “I’ve never made one but it sounds like fun. You know how to do it?”
Stunned by the turn of events, you nodded. “Well, sort of. Mine have always fallen down after a while though,” you admitted, standing up from the bed again. “We need chairs and books and all the blankets and pillows we can find. And the couch cushions. Probably.”
In no time flat you had everything gathered, with Tendou hovering around waiting for you to direct him. It was a pain to get everything set up, and you ended up using the bed since you didn’t have enough chairs. Moving the chairs all over the place until there was enough room inside and you could put the books down to seal the ‘walls’ was tedious, but it was worth it when Tendo crawled in to set up the cushions to seal the space beneath the bed. After padding the floor with several blankets to lay on, you stuffed the pillows from your bed in after Tendo. When you didn’t immediately crawl in after him, he poked his head out to see what you were doing.
“Well, we didn’t think this through at all, so now we gotta watch the movies on my laptop,” you said as you ejected the DVD from your player. The jingle of your computer booting up played and backlit your face in the glow, and you prayed it wasn’t going to go right into an update. It took a few minutes to start up, so you passed it to him while you plugged the power cord in and ran it into the fort. 
You could hear the clicking of the mousepad and by the time you flipped off the light and crawled in beside Tendo, the movie menu was playing. You also realized just how cramped it really was with Tendo’s lanky form inside. There was just enough space for both of you, but you were going to have to either sit up with it in your lap or you were going to have to set it to the side of you and lay on your sides.
He was tense, staring determinedly at the movie playing and trying to avoid moving too much. Or so you guessed, anyway. Anytime you so much as shifted he would jerk away before relaxing, and you were a split second away from nixing the idea. A part of you was starting to wonder if it wasn’t you that was the problem, but if it was, why had he bothered to agree?
“You’re really warm, Tendo,” you said, trying to break the ice. It was an awkward and clumsy attempt, but maybe you could help him settle down if you showed him you weren’t uncomfortable first?
But that just made him pull further away, leaning against the couch cushions. “Oh, sorry.”
It was already warm and comfortable in your little fort, a light blanket thrown over your knees and warming your toes. And with him beside you, you were actually a little more than comfortable. “No,” you said, waving your hands frantically, “no, like, it’s nice. I’m finally warm.”
It was hard to tell in the washed out light of the laptop, but Tendo’s face turned a very bright shade of pink. He tugged the neck of his hoodie up over his nose and fixed his eyes firmly on the flickering violence, annoyed that he was overwhelmed by something so simple. Why did you have to be so damn cute?
But it did the trick, even if he didn’t know that was your intention. He finally relaxed and stopped flinching every time you shifted, trying to find a comfortable position. Sitting cross legged only worked for so long and Tendo noticed you moving around after a while, when your knee knocked his for the third or fourth time.
“You alright? You’re about to bring the whole fort down,” he commented around a mouthful of chips.
“Ah, well, my back is starting to hurt sitting up, I guess. I wanna lay down,” you said, sounding whinier than you meant to, following it up with a short stretch. It alleviated the pain for a moment, until you hunched over again.
He swallowed his chips and returned his eyes to the TV screen, thinking. On one hand, he wasn’t exactly comfortable. On the other, he had no idea what you were thinking. Did you want to abandon the fort?
But you didn’t say anything, fiddling with the blanket for a few moments as you tried to work up your courage. You damn sure didn’t want to tear down your fort-- it had taken you way too long to put the stupid thing up-- and if you said the idea of cuddling up with Tendo wasn’t appealing, you would surely go to hell for lying. The underlying problem was him. What would he say if you brought up the obvious solution?
You were taking too long to answer, so Tendo prompted you, pausing the movie. “Do you want to just get back on the bed again?”
“No,” you said, and then flinched. You had answered way too quickly and that somehow made him nervous and reassured at the same time. “This is really nice I just…I-know-that-you’re-kind-of-uncomfortable-and-I-don’t-want-to-make-you-more-uncomfortable.”
Tendou stared at you, unblinking as he tried to decipher your breathlessly rushed words. After a moment he laughed, still confused, but he could see the anxiety on your face. “I-- what? All I heard was uncomfortable, I think. But you don’t make me uncomfortable.”
Your heart thumped painfully in your chest as that weight left your shoulders. He was so intuitive it was almost scary. Even still, you had to make sure. “Oh, really? You always seem like...weird around me, I guess. I was starting to think I was pushing too hard, I guess?”
“Sorry,” he said, scratching the back of his head. His elbow brushed the sheet above you and he quickly dropped it. “I’m used to people being uncomfortable around me. Guess it just turned into a habit to avoid people I don’t know. So that I don’t freak them out.”
Not entirely true, given that he enjoyed messing with people, but it was true in your* case. It took you a moment to answer, and he started to worry that he had said too much. 
“You don’t...make me uncomfortable, Tendo. You never did. You’re a weirdo but not...in a bad way,” you said, and glanced at him to gauge his reaction, worried he would take it in a negative light.
But he was smiling, eyes fixed on the paused movie and you bit your lip. He was way too attractive and you couldn’t fathom anyone who thought otherwise. Clearly they were just cowards.
“Well that’s a relief. It would make things pre-tty awkward right now if I did,” he said and bumped your shoulder. It felt like a whole planet was lifted off his shoulders with this revelation and he heaved a huge sigh. “So, if we don’t want to abandon the fort but our backs are about to crumble, what do we do?”
“Uh.” You blanched, having forgotten about that little hiccup. Your idea was embarrassing to think about let alone explain and if you hadn’t made him uncomfortable yet this was sure to.
“Uh,” he mocked, and twisted around like a snake so his face was in front of you, blocking the light from the screen. “Spit it out before we collapse.”
“Just-- um--” you stuttered, and he quickly realized whatever your idea was, it had you flustered. He was just about to start teasing when you picked up the laptop and set it to the side of you. Rolling over onto your side, you tucked your hand underneath your pillow and relaxed, feeling the pain immediately alleviate. “Now you lay down. If you want.”
Your heart was racing in your chest, waiting for him to do something. It was a long, long minute before he finally said anything, and it wasn’t what you expected. Not that you had any idea of what to expect.
“Uh, are you sure? I mean, we could just--” What was he thinking? This was exactly what he wanted and wasn’t it Semi who had said she wouldn’t ask if she didn’t want it? Did he really have to overthink everything? You were in a literal pillow fort watching scary movies with him, offering to let him cuddle up with you, and he still thought you weren’t sure.
“Well, unless you aren’t,” you said, and was that disappointment in your voice? No way.
“No no, no. I’m gonna take my hoodie off first, though. It’s way too warm in here now,” he said, backtracking quickly. Then again, maybe it was just him that was too hot. It was an actual dream come true, and he pinched himself quickly just to make sure he wasn’t asleep. 
You rolled over onto your back to watch him struggle, his arms brushing the ceiling and walls of your warm little haven as he fought the hoodie. Your eyes widened as it finally came free, seeing the colorful swirls of ink covering his arms. “Holy shit.”
“Wha--?” he said, and turned to find you staring open mouthed at his tattoos. “Oh, right, I guess you haven’t seen these before, huh?”
“Nope,” you said, sitting up and squinting to see the undefined shapes in the faint light. It was almost cute the way he held his arm out to you hesitantly, like a child offering you a drawing to examine and praise. Taking it, you traced the lines covering his smooth, warm skin, trying to figure out what they were. But the shapes were undefinable in the faint light. You could make out splashes of blue and purple, red and pink, separated by black lines or faded together to make something. Part of you wanted to ask, but there was something mysterious about not knowing. “I can’t even tell what they are but god, Tendou, I know they’re gorgeous.”
He shivered at your featherlight touches, the feel of your fingers skimming delicately over his skin, and your words caused fire to erupt in his stomach and chest. His tattoos were something he was extremely proud of, one of the few things he had that made him feel confident, and hearing you compliment them made him feel so fucking good. Chucking his jacket out into the room, he returned to your side and the two of you got comfortable.
Pressing play on the movie for the 3rd time, the two of you fell silent. With your head below his chin, it was the perfect position for him to see the screen over you. You could feel the warmth rolling off of him, only an inch of space between his chest and your back, and both of you were well aware of it.
It was nearly impossible to focus on the movie, trying to reign in the urge to just slide back a little bit and mold yourself to him. Nibbling at your lip, you rolled just a little under the pretense of stretching and bumped into him. Just your arm into his, and he didn’t move away.
“You good? Need more space? I can crawl under the bed if you want,” he said, smirking at you. He thought he knew what you were playing at, but your next words confirmed it. It was the oldest trick in the book and, even though no one had ever used it on him, he had seen it at work with Semi and Shirabu too many times.
“Just stretching. I’m still a bit cold though,” you said, facing the TV again.
Suppressing a snicker, knowing damn well that wasn’t what you were after, he offered, “I can get you another blanket, if you need it.”
The silhouette of your shoulders fell, and you couldn’t hide the sigh that accompanied it. “It’s alright, Tendo. It’s not that bad.”
You really should have seen that coming, you guessed. The swell of hope and the crash of disappointment was painful in your chest, and you tried to focus on the movie again, ignoring the tempting warmth at your back. If he wasn’t interested, he wasn’t interested. It was cool.
Which was why you jumped when a weight settled over your side, a snicker filtering behind you as he molded himself to your back. It was slow, hesitant, and you would guess he was trying to make sure you were alright with it. Warmth seeped through your t-shirt and you sighed happily, shimmying back into him out of instinct, and this time you could feel his quiet laughter in his chest.
His arms were so long that he had to fold it in front of you, hand coming to rest just underneath your chin, and when you relaxed so did he. With his chin resting atop your head now, he asked, “Better? This is what you wanted, right?”
“Shut up,” you whined, hiding your face in your hand. It was embarrassing enough without him having to tease you about it. But you supposed it wouldn’t be Tendo if he didn’t make fun of you for everything. It was so easy after that to focus on the movie, now that you had gotten what you wanted. The snacks lay forgotten near your feet, not wanting to move and mess up the delicate balance that was now between the two of you.
It was tenuous and any small movement from either of you could send it toppling in either direction, and you weren’t even sure what it depended on. You knew for sure which way you would like to see it go, but it was just as comfortable the way it was.
Silence fell again until the movie ended, which was the only reason you moved. You could probably have fallen asleep like that, but you weren’t ready yet, wanting to bask in whatever you had with Tendo for a while longer.
When you sat up to change the next movie, Tendo rolled over onto his back, watching you fiddle around with it. Sweat beaded on the back of his neck and he shifted uncomfortably. Seemed you felt the same because you turned to look at him, an apology written on your face.
“Sorry, do you mind if I go change into shorts. It’s actually too warm for these now,” you said, setting the DVD case back on the pile. You felt like you were suffocating in your thick winter leggings now, but if he wasn’t okay with that then you would suffer a little longer. At least until you melted.
“Oh thank god you said something. I was about to die in these sweatpants, I swear,” he answered, fanning his face with his hand. You were pretty sure he was just exaggerating that though. “I don’t mind if you don’t.”
“Nope,” you said, popping the ‘p’, and crawled towards the escape flap, wincing at the sound of crunching and crinkling under your knees all of a sudden. “Oops.”
“Oh those had better not have been mine,” he whined, flashing the light of his phone towards the bag. He groaned, seeing his bag of doritos crushed. He could hear you snicker outside the sheet as you walked away and growled, “Watch it. Yours are still in here, _____.”
You opened a drawer as he finally came out as well and began rifling through his bag, pulling out the pair of shorts he’d packed. When you turned around with a pair of soft shorts in your hands, you found him standing awkwardly in the middle of your room again and laughed. “I’ll go change in the bathroom. I gotta use it anyway. I’ll be right back.”
Your footsteps receded down the hall and he raced to get changed before you came back. His sweats landed on his backpack and he shrugged at himself. What did it matter, so long as they weren’t on your floor?
The sound of the sink reached his ears just as he was climbing back into the fort, frowning at his crushed chips even as he shoved a handful into his mouth. He was so gonna make you pay for a new bag, especially because you had laughed. The door creaked open and the flap shifted, and he almost choked on his chips as he realized just how short your shorts were. Were your legs always that long? And smooth? And pretty? Shit.
“How are your chip fragments?” you joked as you made yourself comfortable beside him again. Your hair fanned out behind you and you gathered it up off the base of your neck, twisting it around so that it spread out above you instead. How the fuck was the back of your neck sexy*? 
He was so screwed.
“Uh,” he replied. Smooth, Satori. Shaking his head, he tried to gather his thoughts and focus them literally anywhere else. It worked. Sort of. “Pointy. You owe me a new bag.”
You scoffed, smiling at the car full of vacationing teenagers on the laptop. “There’s like four other bags in here. Quit whining.”
But he wasn’t giving it up, throwing his bag into the corner and hopefully out of the way of your carelessness. Settling behind you like he had before, he once again left space between you, afraid now of how his body might react if he didn’t. “No, all of them suck.”
You definitely noticed the gap and wondered if he was just waiting for you to take the initiative, so you did. Before he could blink, you were once again molded to his chest, head tucked under his chin and knees folded around his. He tensed, fingers curling into a fist while he willed himself to chill.
His arm came down around you again, but you could feel how stiff he was. When you made to move forward again, to give him space, his arm locked, even pulling you back again and you grinned. With his arm now lit up properly by the light of the laptop, you realized you could see the tattoos more clearly, and began to trace the stars and fish on his arm.
“Aren’t these the spirit fish from Avatar?” you asked, skimming over the white and black koi. It was a watercolor piece, lacking the heavy lines like the ones on his other arm, and you felt him nod against the top of your head. “They’re gorgeous. Who’s your artist?”
“A friend of mine in Miyagi did those,” he answered, watching you continue to trail up his arms. Goosebumps were raising the fine hairs all over his body, your touches so gentle and intimate, your focus rapt. Higher up near his elbow was what appeared to be two jolly rogers, but they weren’t the normal ones. “Those are from a pirate manga I read in Jump,” he said before you could ask, and you smoothed your hand over them before sliding it back up near his hand.
His heart skipped a beat when your fingers curled into his palm, hesitating before you slipped them between his. He was sure you could feel his heart pounding away in his chest, unaware that you couldn’t because yours was racing fast enough that you were lightheaded. Folding his fingers down over your hand locked them together, but you didn’t try to pull away. If anything, you tried to cuddle up closer to him, dragging your hands so that they were pressed to your chest. It was the most intimate thing he had experienced in recent memory and if his heart didn’t slow down it was going to explode.
The movie wasn’t holding his interest and a new question cropped up in his mind, one he had wondered more than once before tonight and he couldn’t figure out why he thought of it now, but he latched onto it because otherwise he really thought he was going to combust. Besides, it would ease some of his insecurity if he got an answer.
“What took you so long to set this up, anyway? I kind of thought you had changed your mind for a while,” he said, staring at the screen. He was sort of taking it in, an anchor point so he didn’t get lost in his thoughts.
Your chest rumbled against his hand when you hummed, and your answer was so mundane and rational that he almost laughed. “Well a part of it was wanting to get to know you a bit before we did this. Didn’t want to invite a total stranger to spend the night, after all. And then it was just a matter of waiting for my roommates to freakin’ leave.”
“Oh, are your roommates actually gone*?” he asked in surprise. He had thought they were just out for the night and would be home-- probably not soon, given the time, but still. “Like, for the weekend?”
You hummed again in agreement, twirling the ends of your hair absently around your fingers. You were locked onto the movie, absorbed as Leatherface chased one of the characters he didn’t care about through the yard. He fell quiet, thinking you wanted to watch uninterrupted, but then you asked, “That’s alright, right? They would have just wanted to join in otherwise and they can’t stand horror movies either, so they would’ve just talked through it.”
Exactly like he was doing, he realized, and his face grew hot. Hopefully he hadn’t already annoyed you. He nodded, responding in a much quieter voice. “It’s fine. Was just surprised, I guess.”
For a while, neither of you said anything and Tendo managed to focus on the movie, feeling you jump and twitch every once in a while at scares you weren’t expecting. Unfortunately, those movements were brushing against areas that he really didn’t need them too and your shorts did nothing to diminish the curve of your ass against him or the slowly growing hard on he was getting. It didn’t help that every time he shifted even a little you would just follow him, as if he wasn’t pinned by your hand holding his.
But shit, if he didn’t move soon he was going to be screwed. The bathroom-- that would get him out of there before he embarrassed the fuck out of himself.
It was too late, though. You flinched and ground your ass back into him and he groaned before he could help it. You froze, he froze, he just really wanted to die.
“I-- Sorry. I’m really sorry,” he said, tugging at his hand to try and escape. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but the best option was probably to leave and transfer to a school in a whole different country. He could already hear your words now, an echo of so many times before, the sting of disappointment a familiar feeling around his heart.
“I’m sorry, Tendo. I just don’t see you that way.”
It was because he was a freak with a weird name and creepy eyes and-- fuck. It was high school all over again, being rejected by someone he genuinely thought liked him only to find out they were using him to get to Ushijima or pretending to as a fucking joke, only this time Ushijima wasn’t around and he had really gotten himself into it by agreeing to any of this.
But you were refusing to let his hand go, holding so tight he thought his fingers might break, saying his name until he came back down from his panicked high.
“Tendo, Tendo, calm down, please,” you were begging. You had rolled onto your back, unable to sit up because you were using both your hands to keep him from jumping up and taking the whole fort down. You could see it on his face when he finally heard you, wide vermillion eyes locking with yours while his heart continued to race.
He remained propped up on his elbow, ready to run at the first opportunity, and you almost felt bad for antagonizing him as much as you had. If you had known your teasing was going to get him this riled up, you would have tried a different tactic-- or not tried it at all. Maybe you had pushed too far too soon, and the skittish look in his pretty eyes worried you that you had ruined it.
“It’s alright, Tendo,” you said, trying to keep your voice quiet and soothing. It felt an awful lot like you were dealing with a wary animal-- like a coyote or a fox. When the insistent tension in his arm faded is when you relaxed your death grip on his fingers. 
The sound of the movie was too loud in the unnatural silence between you, and you rolled over to turn it down. When it was only a background buzz, you turned back to him. He was still staring at you without blinking, his eyes devoid of the panic from earlier but now they were eerily blank.
“I’m so sorry,” he said, deadpan. He flinched when you took his hand again, forehead scrunching in confusion. “I don’t understand. There’s no way you-- What are you doing?”
It was your turn to be confused, pursing your lips at him. He sounded so lost-- and wary again-- like a child. For the first time, you wondered what his childhood had actually been like. He talked an awful lot about Ushiwaka and Semi, and the volleyball club in general, but you heard nothing outside of that. It made you suspicious now.
“What am I doing?” you parroted, finally sitting up. Your joined hands fell into your lap and you stared down at them, petting the back of his hand with your free one. “Do you not want me to?”
His words were stuck in his throat, trapped by the lump there, and he swallowed thickly. His mouth felt like cotton, and he shook his head, croaking out, “It isn’t that. I just don’t understand why.”
“Why what?” you asked, gentle amusement in your voice. There was no teasing, no malicious undertones that he could hear, like you were waiting to spring the final part of the joke on him. And he was listening for it. After years of dealing with it, he had learned to recognize it in people’s words and on their faces. The way their lips would curl and their eyes would narrow just before cruelty would spew from their mouths, he knew the tells and you--
Had none.
There was nothing but open curiosity and nervousness-- and hope. A lot of hope swirled in your eyes and he swallowed again. He was just going to disappoint you. If not tonight then tomorrow, if not tomorrow then next week. It was going to happen--
“Why do you like me? How do you like me? I’m-- weird. And you’re--” He gestured frantically up and down at all of you. You weren’t anything he was-- a freak. With freaky eyes and a freaky name and a freaky personality.
“I-- um,” you said, and you couldn’t help but smile. There was clearly a lot of baggage with him, and his questions made that obvious. It was likely too much to unpack tonight, especially when you were still only just getting to know each other. Reassurance was what he needed, and that was something you could offer on the spot. “You’re funny...and sweet and...very good looking. Your eyes are so pretty. Um, there’s also the fact that you’re the only person who would watch these movies with me, which earns you a lot of points, in my opinion,” you said, tapping your lips as you stared up at the ceiling.
Your face was on fire as you listed things off the top of your head, your throat tight with anxiety as you wondered what he would say in response. They were all surface level things for now, but you knew underneath the armor that there was a lot more to Tendo, and you hoped you had a chance to discover it.
He groaned low in his throat, not from disgust but from a deep seated need to believe you meant those things. His forehead met your shoulder, his fingers squeezing yours. He didn’t fight it when you eased back down, following after you without a word, leaving his face hidden in your neck. He was still trying to gather his thoughts and calm his overworked heart. It would be so easy to reject you and be on his way, to return home and beat himself up for letting himself get too close and too comfortable with you when he knew nothing would come of it.
Except something had come of it and he wasn’t sure what to do now. Semi and Ushijima always told him he was too closed off and that someone was going to come around who actually liked him and his ‘weird ass’ and that he was going to lose that chance because of some stupid high school assholes. Was he though? He wanted to believe you, wanted to trust you, and slowly he relaxed, his stress leaving him in a long, tired exhale.
“You mean it?” he whispered against your neck, and you could feel his lashes tickle your skin when he blinked. His arm was heavy where his hand rested on your stomach, fingers intertwined with yours, and you squeezed his hand as tight as you could.
“I do. I like you and really want a chance to get to know you better,” you whispered back, and it suddenly felt like no one existed but the two of you, protected from everything in the world outside by a few sheets and each other's warmth. There would be things to discuss and hiccups to overcome, but you could worry about those tomorrow. In that moment, all you wanted was to prove to Tendo you wanted him.
Maybe it was your words, whispered softly into the dark, or your hand gripping his for dear life, or the way you let him cling to you like a lifeline, or maybe it was a combination, but when he pulled back from his hiding place and found you staring at him, he slotted his lips against yours without thinking. Your lips parted almost immediately, free hand sliding out from between your bodies to tangle in the close cropped hair at the nape of his neck and you used it to pull yourself closer. 
When your tongue poked out to glide across the seam of his lips, he let you in on a breath, tilting his head to deepen the kiss. His eyes were squeezed shut tight as your tongue met his, praying that what was happening wasn’t a dream, and he wasn’t expecting it when you gasped and pulled away all of a sudden.
His eyes popped open and he stared down at you with panic. “What? Did I do something wrong?”
“I-- forgot you have a tongue ring,” you said, and the laughed. “Fuck, that’s hot.”
He blinked like an owl, eyes wide as he processed your words. It wasn’t something that he had ever expected to hear in his life, let alone from the girl he was half-making out with in a freakin’ pillow fort. He suddenly wondered if his life had turned into a Shounen Jump manga.
“Well, so are you,” he said, and leaned in for another kiss.
It was kind of hot to see him confident and you felt heat pool in your stomach, starting to bleed further down as his tongue slipped into your mouth again. He tasted like the root beer he had been drinking all night, and you couldn’t resist toying with the piercing, swirling your tongue around it and listening to him moan against your mouth. 
Your shirt had ridden up your stomach as you moved around, trying to get closer to him, and neither of you realized it until Tendo’s hand smoothed over your skin. He froze mid-kiss, waiting for your reaction, and was unsurprised when your hand grabbed his.
What he didn’t expect was for you to guide it upwards, letting go when you hit your ribs to cup his cheek. Pulling back just enough that he could speak against your lips, he asked, “Are you sure?”
“Frankly, Tendo,” you said, and kissed him again before you continued, “I haven’t wanted anyone this bad in forever. Even if we wake up tomorrow and change our minds, I am fucking sure right now.”
He groaned, letting his hand hike your shirt up a little higher until his hand cupped under your breast. He wasn’t sure when you had taken your bra off, or maybe you hadn’t been wearing one the whole time, but there was nothing impeding his skin from caressing yours. Your breast was so soft in his hand, topped by a pretty pink nipple that he couldn’t resist pinching. You mewled underneath him, pulling your shirt up to uncover your other breast and he moved to that one, doing the same and feeling your nipple harden at his touch.
“Fuck, you’re so pretty,” he rasped, gazing down the length of your body. Your thighs were clenched, and his hand migrated lower, fingertips skimming over your skin.
The heat that was pooling earlier erupted when they met the waistband of your shorts, but he paused, looking unsure again.
“Tendo, I’ll show you how much I want this,” you whispered and grabbed his hand. He was still hesitant, looking at your face as you slid his hand into your panties, and his eyes widened.
“You’re so wet,” he groaned, his fingers gliding over your soaked lips, spreading your slick all over them. His fingers quickly found your clit, circling it and you squeezed his hand between your thighs, hips jerking. “All because of me? I’m flattered.”
Teasing at your soaked opening, he waited for you to balk but you only twitched, panting against his lips before he sunk one finger in, your walls parting easily. You moaned and he swallowed it in a kiss, his tongue filling your mouth again. It wasn’t long before he was fitting a second finger, crooking them up and grazing your sweet spot, his thumb taking over massaging your clit as he pumped them inside you. Your arousal was already high enough that you could feel your orgasm coming on, and you pulled away to announce it.
“T-Tendo, gonna--” You gasped when he forced them in deeper, a mischievous smirk on his face as he prodded your cervix. “How-- fuck, your fingers are so long,” you whined, toes curling.
“Think you can take one more?” he asked, already fitting the tip of a third finger in. But it was only when you nodded, tears pricking the corners of your eyes that he slipped it in. Your teeth dug into your lip before they parted in a soundless cry.
The coil snapped on the first thrust and he groaned, drinking in your face as he tipped you over the edge. No one had ever cum so prettily for him before and he wanted to see it again. 
But only if you wanted it. His cock throbbed painfully in his shorts when he pulled his fingers from your twitching hole, feeling you shudder against him. Examining his glistening fingers in the screen light, he slid one experimentally into his mouth and moaned. “You taste so good, princess.”
You gasped at the pet name, a warmth unrelated to the one between your legs blooming in your chest. He said it was such reverence that you flushed, hoping he’d say it again at some point. Never had anyone called you that before, at least in that context.
When he laid back down beside you, his erection brushed against your leg and he stifled a groan. He was wearing boxers but the friction against his cock was still a pleasurable sensation. Not as much as your hand might be--
Speaking of hands, he nearly jumped out of his skin when you cupped him, squeezing and kneading up the length of him confined in his clothes. A shaky breath ripped out of him, the result of him barely containing a moan, and his long fingers wrapped around your wrist to stop you.
“That’s alright, _____. You don’t have to--” But you weren’t listening and the pressure felt too good. His head fell back, eyes fluttering closed, content to let you literally massage his dick until you started tugging at his shorts. He stopped you more insistently then, pulling your hand away. “Wait a second. Let me get ‘em off since you’re so eager, princess.”
He pulled his shirt over his head first, because it was getting way too hot in there anyway, and then kicked his shorts and boxers off into the dark corner. His cock bobbed against his stomach as he rolled onto his side again, leaking precum already. 
Your hand was soft against his stomach, roaming over the hard planes of his abs and down further, until it wrapped lightly around his head.
And froze.
“What the-- Tendo, what are those?” you asked in a high pitched, startled tone. Before he could answer, you let go and rolled onto your back, exposing him to the light and you thought for sure you had died and gone to heaven. 
It wasn’t just his arms that were covered in ink. His shoulders, chest, and sides were all covered in it as well, swirls and splashes of color interrupted by splotches of black or white or skin. You could hardly make out what the images were in the flickering, inconsistent light, but you recognized flowers and circles, and on his pec you were pretty sure there was a scene of a lake bathed in moonlight. And as your eyes followed the path of colors down, you landed on the thing that had startled you in the first place.
“Those are--” you breathed, taking his cock into your hand again. There was a ball at the tip, covered in precum, and you knew if you traced down, you would find another just below the crown. Further down on his shaft were five horizontal barbells in a row, and you recognized it as a Jacob’s Ladder. “Fuck me.”
“Gladly,” Tendo quipped and pounced. He settled between your legs and tugged your shorts down over your hips, and you had to hold your legs up to let him pull them the rest of the way off. He was too tall to sit straight up without brushing his head against the ceiling, but he braced back on his arms when you grabbed his shaft again. He groaned when you fondled the ball below his crown, shuddering at the intense pleasure. It was one of the major reasons he’d gotten it- to enhance the sensations. But the feel of your fingers gliding over his tip, gathering the precum and nudging the ball was something else entirely. “Holy shit, that feels amazing.”
His voice sent shivers through you, deep and raspy and way too needy. But you were unsure of what would hurt him, so you kept your touches light, feeling his thighs tense under yours, his fingers squeezing your calves as he let you explore. Before long though, he was pulling your hand away, pinning it down at your side. “Can’t keep that up, princess. I need more, if you’re alright with it,” he said, letting his cock settle against your cunt. 
The piercings were warm and pronounced against your folds, and you shuddered when the ball under his head grazed your clit. The thought of them inside you, rubbing all along your walls as he fucked you was too much and you could feel yourself growing wetter, your pussy drooling for it.
“Yes, Tendo, please. I want it, I want to feel them inside me,” you begged, rocking your hips. The stimulation was mind blowing and your walls clenched, empty and needy for him to fill you up. And he would, his cock was huge-- he still had room for more piercings below the ones he had. You had no doubt you would be stretching to take him and you keened in the back of your throat.
“I want you to call me Satori, princess. And I need you to let me know if it’s uncomfortable,” he said, pressing the tip of his cock into your sopping hole. “Sometimes they make it hurt, but you’re so fucking wet I don’t think it will. You really like these, huh?”
You were really just answering his question as you said yes, but a stream of them fell out of your mouth as he pushed the rest of his cock inside you, encouraging him to continue. The stretch was so good, your walls splitting easily for him, and you could feel every ball just like you had imagined grazing against your walls. The ball at his slit rested snugly against your cervix, and you didn’t even realize you were screaming as you came, hips jerking in his hands as he let you ride it out.
He was staring at you with what could only be awe, his mouth slack and eyes wide with surprise. “Holy fuck, princess, did you just cum?”
Your breaths were coming in pants as your mind spun, trying to come down from the unexpected high. It came on so suddenly you had no time to prepare, and tears slid down your cheeks. “F-Feels so good,” you whispered, fingers digging into the blanket beneath you. “Satori, oh my god.”
“Are you alright? We can stop--” he said, but you shook your head frantically, locking your ankles around his back, and he laughed under his breath. You sure were something else. He knew for a fact no one had ever come just from him sliding into them and a swell of pride filled his chest. “No? Alright, whatever you want, princess. Can I move?”
This time you nodded and he was slow as he pulled back, making sure you were okay. You were so tight around him from your orgasm, your walls fluttering with overstimulation, but your back arched when he stuffed himself back in, a breathy moan slipping out of you. Hiking your legs higher up on his hips, he bent over you, gathering your hands and pinning them above your head, lacing his fingers with yours. His lips met yours as he thrust into you slowly, grinding deep and stifling a moan. Once again you were playing with his tongue ring, flicking it as you suckled on his tongue. The fort-- and probably the room-- was filled with the wet slap of his hips on yours every time he drove his cock into you, drowning out the low buzz of the forgotten movie still playing. He was being careful, waiting for you to stop being so sensitive, and he knew you were ready when you arched into his chest and pulled away.
“So good, Satori,” you murmured against his lips, hips rising to meet his. Your eyes were glazed and fucked out, tears still flowing and you could already feel the start of another orgasm, but he was moving too slow. The drag and pull of his piercings had almost all of your attention, the ball at his tip constantly tapping your cervix, making your toes curl with every thrust. “You’re so big, and those-- fuck-- piercings feel so good inside me. I can feel them all everywhere.”
He snickered darkly at that and kissed your cheek. “You wanna feel even better, kitten?” he whispered into your ear, nipping the shell. He could feel you nod against his cheek, nails digging into his hands where he kept them pinned above your head, and then he was letting them go and pulling out of you. You whined, staring up at him in dismay, but he already had your thighs in his hands, prodding you to roll over. “Trust me, pretty girl. On your stomach, just like that.”
It was a bit difficult to get comfortable, but he grabbed a pillow and jammed it beneath your hips before settling with his legs outside of yours. And when you shook your ass, begging him to hurry up, he couldn’t deny you, not when he wanted to be back inside your tight heat so badly.
“Holyshitholyshitholyshit,” you whined, high-pitched and breathless as he finally filled you again. His thighs trembled as he forced himself not to just stuff himself into you, you were so tight. And the way you were crying and shuddering beneath him wasn’t helping, especially when you gasped his given name like a prayer. “*Satori, oh my god.”
If you thought those piercings felt good before, you were in heaven now. Everyone of them dragged slowly over the front wall of your cunt, grinding into your sweet spot and you had to bite the pillow to keep from outright screaming. And he was so, so, so big inside you, but with your legs trapped between his there was nothing you could do but take him. Against your will, your legs kicked, hitting him in the back as you wailed into the pillow, tears streaming down your cheeks in an endless flood. 
He snarled into your ear as he planted his elbows beside your head, plastering himself to your back. “You are so fucking tight, princess. How do those piercings feel now?”
“So good so good so good,” you babbled, circling your hips back on his dick to get any friction you could. The orgasm that had been building came back ten fold just from him hilting inside of you and you knew that if he fucked you like this you would be cumming in seconds. “‘Tori, please move, please please please.”
Your needy begging made his cock twitch and you whimpered as he slowly pulled out of you and pushed back in, intentionally slow to let you feel everything. The pleasure was ebbing and flowing, building and falling because he wasn’t moving fast enough, but you couldn’t bring yourself to ask him to go faster, not when you could feel him so clearly. Every time he bottomed out, he made sure to grind down into you, nudging your cervix with the tip of his cock so he could feel you clench suddenly around him. It never failed to make him moan, your slick walls gripping him so tightly as he dragged himself back out. He wanted to make your pussy his new home and barring that he was going to fuck the shape of his cock into you.
“Tell me what you need to make you cum, princess,” he whispered into your ear. He knew what he needed, but he was still learning what would make you feel good. 
Releasing the pillow from your teeth, the first thing you did was moan out his name again as he buried himself inside you again. You were so close to cumming, your clit throbbing with need and if he even brushed it you were going to be gushing all over him. You gasped as he thrust a little harder than before.
“If you don’t answer me I’ll just keep going like this, kitten. I can go for hours, if you want,” he whispered, warm against your ear. That made you twitch underneath him, and he chuckled. “You like the sound of that? We’ll try it another time. Right now, I need you to tell me where you want me to cum and how I can make you cum, okay?”
His words were dark and sweet and coaxing, and you were sure you had never whined so much in your whole life. “Touch me, please, Satori. I wanna cum all over your cock and pretty piercings while you cum in me, oh fuck.”
Bracing himself on his elbow, he forced his hand beneath your stomach, aided by you lifting your hips, and you whimpered when he finally, finally brushed your clit. It was all it took and you had to bite the pillow again as you creamed all over his cock, whiting out and screaming into it as you shuddered and jerked. He eased you through it, leaving his cock buried inside you while he fondled your clit, listening to you whimper and moan. It was a good thing you had hidden your face because you would surely have woken the whole complex up otherwise. 
He groaned into your ear as you massaged his cock, so tight that you launched him into his own orgasm, cumming inside you as you had asked. He remained still inside of you even after you had relaxed, leaving small kisses all over your hair before he leaned down to rest his head on the pillow. He had fucked you so slowly that he hadn’t broken a sweat, and yet he was still out of breath and panting. His head swam for several more minutes, until you shifted beneath him. But you didn’t move like you wanted him to get off.
Instead, you turned to look at him, a lazy, blissed out grin on your face and said, “Holy shit, that was so amazing. I’ve never cum so many times.”
“So were you. I’ve never made someone cum so many times,” he admitted, and replayed the way you came just because he had filled you. That was something he was unlikely to ever forget. He brushed some hair out of your face before leaning in to kiss you. It was slow and gentle, belying how tired the two of you now were, and he could see you were ready to fall asleep. ��Gonna pull out of you now, princess. Need you to stay nice and relaxed, okay?”
You nodded, your eyes closing and winced as he slid from your ruined hole. A stream of cum followed after and he took a moment to appreciate it, allowing a smirk to steal across his face. There was no doubt you were his now, at least for a little while, and he committed it all to memory before gently gripping your shoulders. “We should really get cleaned up, then we can go to sleep.”
You grumbled cutely but let him help you up, the both of you stumbling blindly to the bathroom. Sleepiness was a thick fog, and you got cleaned up as quickly as possible before returning to the room. The two of you stood in the doorway, looking at the mess of nonsense covering the bed, and then you looked at Tendou.
“Let’s just sleep in there,” you suggested, taking him by the hand. He let you lead him over, watching the way your ass swayed as you crawled into the fort for hopefully the final time that night. In the few minutes it had taken him to get in after you, you had already pulled a blanket over your legs and were setting up the next movie to play. Not that you would be watching it, but he understood it was the principle of the thing. This was a movie marathon and it just wouldn’t do to fall asleep without being in the middle of one.
Once he’d gotten comfortable behind you, you rolled over and splayed out across his chest, startling him. He had expected to curl himself around your back while you went to sleep, but now you were tracing what lines you could see on his chest in the thin light. His hand rested on your waist, the other tucked behind his head, and he closed his eyes, comfortable with your warmth and weight in his arms.
“Satori,” you murmured, your hand falling flat right over the picture of the lake. “I really do like you.”
He laughed at that, and you could feel it rumble in your ear, deep in his chest. He was clearly as tired as you were, but you needed to say it. There was something in your half asleep brain that would not stop telling you to say it, and you were in no position to fight it.
“I figured as much, princess. Three orgasms are hard to fake, especially around a dick as big as mine,” he answered, and you blanched for a moment before erupting into laughter. He watched you through narrow eyes, fondness bubbling in his chest, until you settled back down against him. “You’re absolutely gorgeous, you know that?”
“So’re you,” you murmured. The nagging had stopped now that you had said what you needed too, and you were falling asleep quickly. “Don’t be gone when I wake up tomorrow, okay?”
“It already is tomorrow, and I’ll be here. There’s nowhere else I wanna be anyway,” he answered, letting his eyes close as well. With your comfortable weight on his chest and your even breathing mixing with the buzzing of the movie in the background in his ears, he drifted to sleep in no time, for once not worrying about what tomorrow would bring.

21.20 - Jung Wooyoung
pairing: wooyoung x reader
word count: 2.1k   
genre: smut, slight angst
warnings: +18 content, oral (female recieving), fingering, slight angst, heavy makeout session, marking, slight unprotected sex (stay safe!), Wooyoung is a tease because he is Wooyoung
  (let me now if i missed anything!)
notes: Hi guys! It's my first time publishing a work of mine in this platform, so i hope you enjoy it:)
You were wrong to think that you can spend a chill evening with Jung Wooyoung.
It all started a week ago, when your fuckbuddy told you that you two should end your arrangement because he could no longer act like he did not have any kind of feelings for you.
At first, it shocked you.
Wooyoung was not a bad boy by any means, but never have you ever thought that he would be the one to catch feelings after deciding not to almost a year ago.
From the first moment you met him, you were already drowning with the need for him.
His hair was blonde back then, he was thicker and he was a bit more arrogant. You did not blame him though, he was a really handsome man after all.
You met him at a pool party when you accidentally smacked the back of his head, thinking that he was a friend of yours. When he turned to you, the confused look on his face suddenly turned into a playful one. Checking you out with a slight smirk on his face.
And that smirk was the beginning of your end.
Wooyoung -being the usual social butterfly he was- easily started a conversation with you and soon enough you were both at the spare bedroom of the house.
At first, you thought that it was a one time thing. So did he, because thats what people did at parties: Only one night stands.
However, after a week later you ran across to him at your university and he offered to go grab some lunch at the cafeteria.
You had no idea how you found yourself on the desk of an empty classroom, with him pounding into you so hard that you couldn't hold your screams back anymore.
You were lucky you didn't get caught that day since no one liked to hang out around the chemistry lab during their lunch break.
Or else there would be no way you two wouldn't get caught.
Same things happened again and again, so you two basically decided to turned this to a 'two people hanging out casually but also like to fuck sometimes' thing.
This was only a year ago and everything was going fine. You didn't get bored of him or the sex, the sex was always perfect and lately he had been even more passionate and agressive during it which satisfied you even more.
Although you were happy and satisfied, but you were also curious about the reason he was acting like that. You wondered what was going on with him but you didn't say anything about it.
Which probably was a bad idea, because that was what encouraged him to confess.
The night of his confession, he made you come five times. Five fucking times.
You were exhausted when he was finally done fucking you, so was he. His head fell onto the crook of your neck when he came with a loud moan of your name, and you held him until his panting slowed down a bit. It was nothing unusual, after all you two were friends and a little sign of affection wasn't making anything awkward or something. You never made a big deal out of it anyways.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this anymore."
After that, you understood that he did make a big deal out of all these.
He explained everything to you, that he developed a little crush on you and he knew you didn't feel the same way about it. He assured you that he wasn't in love with you or something, it was just a crush thing yet he wasn't really familiar with this concept so he wasn't really sure what to do.
And he was right, you didn't think of him that way.
But the thing was after spending a year with him, he became a irreplaceable person in your life.
You didn't want to let him go.
So you agreed that you had to stop sleeping together, asked him to at least stay friends. You obviously didn't want to cut him off of your life and he instantly agreed with you, told you that he wasn't planning to end your friendship anyways.
That was how you found yourself on the couch of your apartment with him, under the blankets, trying to watch a movie. 
Trying to, because he was looking so good today and you would rather watch the way he pushed his now-silverish-black hair back and concentrate on the way he opened his legs.
He was wearing those black, leather pants that you loved to sit on and grind until you whimpered as he did nothing but only smirk at you. All of the times he talked dirty to you, the times he said things like:
"Told you babe, I don't even need to move my finger to make you scream my name."
"Y/N?"
You winked a couple times as you turned your head towards to him, finally noticing that you weren't paying any attention to the movie.
"Hmm?" you said as you looked at Wooyoung and tried your hardest not to bite your lip as he looked at you from tip to toe and pushed the blankets away.
Your breath hitched as he came closer and looked at you.
"I know what you're thinking about."
You eyes widened and you were about to explain yourself further but he spoke first.
"You're feeling awkward about all this, right? I.. I should probably leave. I am really sorry to leave you in this position."
Then with that, he stood up and you took a good glance on those pants and his black t-shirt again as he grabbed his jacket from the corner.
"No, wait! I wasn't thinking that." you said and suddenly stood up with panic written all over your face.
Wooyoung turned back to you with that, raising his bow as he put his jacket back to the coat hanger.
"Then why were you glancing at me and squeezing your hand-" he then said and his slightly worried face suddenly changed into a playful one as he gave you one of those smirks which always got you. 
"Looking at my thighs, squeezing your hands, playing with your hair... Don't you think they all sound familiar, princess?" Wooyoung said as he took a step closer to you and you only looked at the way his silver highlights were shining under the white florescent light of your living room.
"I don't know, do they?" you replied back as your eyes met his dark ones, only to see the way he was literally eating you alive with them.
"I thought I could get rid of those feelings by not touching you, but this is becoming unbearable Y/N. I can't stand it, especially after seeing you like this..." he walked towards to you as he spoke and stopped right in front of you. He lowered his head a little and kissed the sweet spot under your ear before whispering.
"Do you want me to fuck you right now?"
You never thought that words could be so simple yet so filthy. But that was how Wooyoung was after all: 
Filthy and outspoken.
"Hmm, do you?"
You were already gone by the way he was speaking so lowly, his lips touching your neck but not quite kissing it the way you liked it. You knew he wanted to hear it from you, he always did since you were way too stubborn to give him what he wanted.
But tonight, after not feeling his touch for a week, you were extremely horny and even the slightest touch of his lips and the tingling sensation of his breath was enough to have your thighs squeezing.
"Do you want to fuck me?" you asked nevertheless, knowing so damn well that he treated you the best when he was frustrated.
With your question his hands grabbed your waist and he suddenly pressed your lips against yours, causing you to widen your eyes in shock for a second before opening your mouth to give him access.
He grabbed your ass -signing you to jump- and you obliged, wrapping your legs against his waist and never breaking the kiss as he walked to the closest available item which happened to be the kitchen table.
It wouldn't be the first time that you two fucked there though.
Wooyoung made you sat on the table but your legs were still wrapped around him as he groaned because of the way you were pressing yourself on his bulge, biting his lip.
"You missed me that much?" he said as he split from your lips and headed to your neck. His hand found its way inside your t-shirt and touched your bare back, caressing it with feather-like touches of his fingertips and you threw your head back when he sucked on a bruise.
"Always so sensitive..." he murmured and then unclasped your bra with one of his hands.
You were burning with need when his hand slipped inside your shorts, playing with the hem of your panties as he kissed your cheekbone sloppily.
"Wooyoung, don't." you breathed, grabbing the hem of his shirt. He looked at your face, understanding what you wanted instantly as he unbuckled his belt and took his black t-shirt off.
Your hands trailed his biceps slowly, his arms were a huge turn on for you and he FUCKING knew that.
He finally slipped his hands inside your panties when you touched his erection on his pants, causing you to stop immediately with the sudden outburst of pleasure, moaning at the way he touched at your clit and then drew eights on your cunt.
"How are you so wet already, I barely touched you." he said in a fascinated way but you did not respond.
Then he grabbed the hem of your shorts and pulled them down with your panties as he lowered himself and kissed your stomach then your thighs, avoiding your center as always.
"Come on, don't be an asshole." you said frustratedly and immediately regretted it but you didn't let him realize. 
"Watch your mouth." he said and looked up at you with angry eyes, you bit your lip instead. 
With that his lips were finally where you wanted them to be. He sucked at your clit and squeezed the inside of your thigh. It was already overwhelming, the way his mouth was working so skillfully inside you. Your hips suddenly bucked harshly and he stopped, holding you on your place. 
Your eyes were teary because of the overwhelming sensation of his touch and he kissed your thigh, standing up to kiss your neck as you slightly trembled and breathed heavily.
"Shh, calm down princess." he whispered and kissed your cheek before looking at you.
"Do you want me to continue-"
"Yes, yes..." you said without even letting him finish, which he only nodded and went down on you once again. 
You moaned and grabbed his hair as he licked a stripe and sucked, then teasing the entrance with the tip of his finger before pushing it in.
You were pressing his head to you as you felt yourself getting closer and closed your eyes when he fastened the pace of his fingers.
"Come on princess, I got you." he said and it was the last drop to send you over the edge as you came with a cry of his name and he didn't pulled back after you did, kissing your lips.
"Good girl." he said and you kissed down his neck when he pulled his pants and underwear down, revealing his thick member. 
He was so hard and you almost felt bad for him but he slapped your hand away before you could grab it, looking at you with lustful eyes.
"Three." he said with a devilish smirk on his face and you frowned confusingly, not quite understanding what he was talking about. 
"I'm not done with you until you are coming three times more tonight. I know you can do it princess."
He pushed in carefully yet deeply with a moan and you quickly grabbed his shoulders as a support when he slammed into you harder and the table moved with every one of his thrusts.
In that moment, neither of you were thinking anything besides the pleasure and you knew he was right about the fact that it was unbearable to stay friends with someone you constantly crave.
And he was right about one other thing too.
Because you came three times more that night.

Under My Skin - Matthew Tkachuk
Word Count: 3,644
POV: Reader
Warnings: Language, Smut, NSFW
Summary: Matthew can be a pest but what happens when your ex, Auston Matthews get under his skin.
Notes: So I’m having a sad bitch moment and thought, why not post this. I finally broke down and wrote for this boy. Who knows if it’ll happen again...haha! At any rate hope you guys enjoy. Happy Reading!

Matthew first met you over a year ago when you’d moved to Calgary for work. You had just finished your degree and a job opportunity had landed you in the same city where he was playing. You’d been out at the bar with some co-workers and had caught his eye immediately. You were everything that Matthew was looking for in a woman, smart, funny, incredibly gorgeous, with a charm that seemed to draw everyone around you in. You were like a magnet and Matthew couldn’t resist your pull.
 That first night he’d barely been able to talk to you. You’d been besotted with people left and right, and it seemed as though every time Matthew worked up the courage to speak with you, you would get pulled away. Matthew finally ran into you on the way to the restroom. Like, literally ran into you. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry,” Matthew apologized steadying you with a hand on your waist. His hand lingered a little longer than necessary but you weren’t complaining.
 “It’s ok I wasn’t paying attention.” You held up your phone in defense. You’d been so distracted by a text, that you really weren’t watching where you were going. “Did you ever have someone text you that you hoped you’d never hear from again?”
 It was an interesting introduction to a conversation but then Matthew would take any opportunity he could get to speak to you. “Actually, yes.”
 “It’s so annoying, right?”
 “Well, there is a way to solve that problem.”
 Your eyes held his with rapt attention, and Matthew could tell you were clinging to his every word. It was then that it struck him that he never wanted that look to fade from your face. “How?”
 “Come have a drink with me and forgot about whoever it is on that phone.” You smiled. It was a bright, brilliant thing of beauty that Matthew swore could light up the night sky on its darkest days. He was sold right then and there, and with just that simple gesture you had no idea that you’d swooped in and stolen his heart that night.
 You forgot about that text message fairly quickly and just settled into an easy conversation with Matthew. The night flew by and before you knew it, your co-workers were calling it a night and you were all heading home. Matthew asked for your number which you gave in hopes that he would call you soon. Little did you know that after you left, Matthew debated with himself on how long to wait to text you. Every unsaid rule in the code of dating said to wait for at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours before making a move, but Matthew was never one to follow convention. As he lay in bed, he decided to send you a quick message.
 Had a great time tonight.
 It was short and to the point, and Matthew figured if you answered then he would ask you out again. Unfortunately, for Matthew, he wasn’t the only one texting you as you crawled into bed after taking off all your makeup. You were just getting ready to reply to Matthew when another text came in. It was the fourth of the night from the same person that had messaged you before, Auston Matthews.
 You hadn’t spoken to him in months, back when you were in Toronto, and you didn’t plan on speaking to him now, though he seemed to be trying his hardest to get your attention, just as he had been for the last couple of months. Your relationship with Auston had been nothing short of toxic. Oh sure, at first it was all hearts and roses in the beginning. Auston swept you off your feet with that charming smile of his, but then you were young and the flashy NHLer said all the right things, at first.
 You weren’t normally one to tumble into bed right after the first date, though that’s what happened with Auston. He made it seem like you were the only one, but after dating him for only four months you’d found out that wasn’t true. Oh, he tried to brush it off, make it seem like he wasn’t cheating. That the panties you’d found lying tucked between the nightstand and the bed were some old fling and not some random hookup he’d brought home. You wanted to believe him and so you let your heart overpower your head and stayed with him until you’d literally walked in on him in bed with another woman. There was no talking his way out of that one.
 It was an easy decision to break things off with him, though he kept trying to win you back. You were good for his image and he thought that he could keep you happy while he had some fun on the side. The only thing was you didn’t want him back, even though his friends tried to helped his cause. That’s when you decided to take the job in Calgary. It was an easy decision six months ago. Which is part of the reason it surprised you when he texted tonight. He was in Calgary for a game and wanted to talk. You’d honestly were debating seeing him when you’d run into Matthew.
 Matthew, you sighed. His curly hair and shaved sides gave off this bad boy vibe, but as you sat there and talked to him, you’d realized he had to be one of the sweetest men out there. You hadn’t realized at first who he actually was. Auston had turned you off to the NHL scene altogether, so you no longer paid attention to the games, even if hockey was Canada’s major sport. Honestly, you wish you didn’t know he was in the NHL. It was part of the reason you were debating about answering him. Maybe you would just sleep on it and decide in the morning.
 Meanwhile, Matthew was having a mild panic attack. He told himself that maybe you lived close to the bar and had already fallen asleep before you got his text, or that you’d turned off your phone the minute you got home. He constantly kept checking his, looking for those three little dots letting him know that you were sending something back. It was torturous.
 You laid there all of twenty minutes before you decided that you couldn’t resist the curly-haired man that had captured your attention tonight. Grabbing your phone, you shot off a quick, I did too. You typed and erased it three times, wondering if you should add more before finally pressing the send button. There it was done, if he said something back, you’d go from there. Fifteen seconds later, you knew you were in trouble.
 Maybe we could do it again sometime?
 Matthew was sweating as he hit send. He’d never been this nervous before about a woman. They either liked him or didn’t, but you, you were different. He knew that from the moment he saw you. It was even more prevalent now after he’d spent most of the night with you.
 I’d like that.
 Was your simple reply back. One that had Matthew ready to jump up and out of bed with excitement. And so the texting went on for the next ten minutes until he finally ended up calling you. The two of you talked for over an hour, almost as if you’d known each other all your lives, and you completely forgot about the texts from Auston.
 Matthew took you out three days later to an exclusive restaurant in the city. This time you told yourself you’d not make the same mistake you’d made with Auston. So, when the night drew to a close, Matthew drove you to your apartment then very properly walked you to the door and only kissed you on the cheek. It wasn’t what you expected. You’d thought he’d go for more, but Matthew wanted to do things right. He knew you were special and he wasn’t going to mess things up by sleeping with you on night one. He was in this for the long run.
 That was over a year ago. Sure, it had been difficult at first to give him your complete trust, but Matthew had earned it and over time you knew that although he may be a pest on the ice, he was anything but that in your personal life. Now the two of you shared a home and were on your way to making a life together.
 You’d kept your relationship on the down-low, staying off of all forms of social media to keep the wolves at bay. Which meant that no one, including Auston, knew that you and Matthew were dating. That was until he and everyone else saw you in the background of Taryn’s video for Brady’s twenty-first birthday. The picture highlighted Brady but behind him, there was Matthew nibbling on your neck and ear. Fans picked up on it right away, wondering who you were and Matthew decided he was tired of hiding the two of you. A week later he was posting a picture of the two of you holding hands on your way back to Calgary.
 That was dozens of posts and months ago. Your life with Matthew was nothing short of amazing, until the Flames played the Leafs. Matthew was in Toronto while you stayed back in Calgary for work. It was an early game and you joined the other wives and significant others in a small little watch party. Drinks were flowing freely, so you really didn’t catch the exchange between Matthew and Auston in warmups.
 Matthew was minding his own business as he stretched near the centerline. That’s when Auston started with the little jabs. “Nice little piece of ass you picked up Tkachuk.” Matthew was used to guys talking shit about all kinds of things on the ice, though normally it was about him being a dirty player or how Brady was the better Tkachuk on the ice; all that shit he could handle. He wasn’t used to someone taking stabs at you.
 “Shut the fuck up Matthews,” he replied then skated away. If Auston was looking for a fight, he’d get one if he kept up this banter, but not until the game started.
 It wasn’t until the end of the first that Auston got a chance to chirp Matthew again. “Tell me, Tkachuk, does (Y/N) still make the same pretty moans…”
 “Finish that and you’ll regret it,” Matthew told him. It was the only warning Matthew was going to give. Of course, Matthew knew that you’d dated someone in the hockey world and that he’d been a verifiable asshole. He’d never pressed the issue too much as he was trying to turn that stigma about hockey players around. He never liked Auston, he was always cordial to him in non-ice settings but now that he knew he was the cheating bastard who basically used you; he liked him less.
 Play resumed before anything else could happen and Matthew was sure to get in a few good checks in before heading back for the first intermission. When he was back on the ice for the second Auston picked up right where they had left off. “So, you like my sloppy seconds, Tkachuk?” Matthew saw red at the insult, and before he knew what he was doing he dropped his gloves and hit Auston. Inwardly, you cringed at the fight, not wanting to let on to the other girls that you had an idea what the exchange was about. Auston went down easy, with Matthew barely touching him, and so off the penalty box he went, while the Leafs went on the power play. You could see him just sitting there stewing, though you weren’t sure if he was mad at himself for letting Auston get to him or mad at you.
 The game ended up tied in the third, and little did you know that Auston took the opportunity to get a few more digs into Matthew. “Does she get as wet for as she did for me, or do you have to work for it?” Johnny had to hold him back from leveling him after that, but Auston didn’t let up. “She was such a fucking slut for me in bed. You know I fucked every hole…” That’s all he got out before going down hard as Matthew planted a right hook to his jaw. But Matthew wasn’t done and went after Auston as he lay on the ice. Matthew was ejected from the game and the Leafs scored on the power play.
 There was no interview after the game with Matthew, so you had no idea what he was feeling or how pissed he was. As soon as you got home, you tried to call him but it went straight to voicemail. You tried to tell yourself it didn’t mean anything that maybe he never turned his phone back on after the game or maybe they were already on the flight back to Calgary, as the team played at home the following day, but you just weren’t sure. So, you laid in the king-size bed you shared with Matthew, wrapped up in your favorite old t-shirt of his, simply staring up at the ceiling.
 At some point, you must have fallen asleep, for you didn’t hear the door open or Matthew dropping his bag like you usually did. It wasn’t until he crept into bed that you finally knew he was home. He was laying on his back, hands behind his head when you finally rolled over letting him know you were awake. You’d thought about what to say to him before falling asleep but waited for him to say something to you. When he didn’t you simply whispered, “If you want me to go I will.”
 “Go?” Matthew questioned now rolling on to his side so he could see you. “Why would I want you to leave?”
 “I never wanted to be a problem for you, Matthew, especially not with other players.” It was part of the reason you’d never told him that you’d dated Auston, though you should’ve known that Auston couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
 You went to say more, but Matthew stopped you. “You’re not the problem (Y/N). You could never be one.” His fingers ran up and down your arms lightly, just caressing your skin. “I love you, baby.”
 “I love you too.” His lips found yours then, and you melted into the feel of him, savoring how his body started to relax against you.
 “Auston’s an asshole.” Matthew finally said, when the two of you broke apart.
 “Do I even want to know what he said?”
 “Just shit to get me riled up, and it worked.” Your one hand went to the back of his neck, massaging the knotted muscles there. “I’m not stupid. I realize what probably happened between the two of you. I just don’t like hearing it.”
 “We both have pasts, Matthew. We can’t change that, but you’re my future.”
 He gave you a real quick peck to your lips. “And you’re mine. At least I don’t have to deal with him for a couple weeks.”
 You pushed him onto his back before straddling his hips. “Don’t let him get under your skin, babe. When he starts to say something…” you looked him right in the eyes. “And you know he will. Just remind him how you’re the only one I want with me.” You flexed your hips before running your hands up his bare chest. “And in me.” Matthew’s hands went to your waist, where he played with the band of lace on your panties. “You’re more to me than he’ll ever be. Both here,” you taped your heart and then his. “And here.” Lifting your hips, you took your hand and cupped the length of him. His cock instantly hardened under your touch.
 Your words spurred Matthew into action, for the next thing you knew he was ripping your panties, before shimming out of his boxers. His fingers went to your folds, where he found you ready for him. “Fuck you’re so wet.”
 “Only for you Matthew. Only for you.” It was extra reassurance that you knew Matthew needed and tonight you’d give him as many as he needed. He guided your hips down onto his cock and you sighed out with pleasure as he filled you like no one else ever had.
 As you grabbed the hem of your t-shirt Matthew whispered harshly, “Leave it on.” It was one of his Flames shirts; one that had both his name and number on the back. Leaning down you kissed him long and hard, before starting to ride him. It was slow at first, a pace meant to build you both up but not push you over the edge. His hands were everywhere, under your shirt caressing your breasts, wandering down your back to cup your ass, and moving up and down your thighs to quicken your speed.
 Finally, he couldn’t take it any longer and he flipped your bodies so that he loomed over top of you. His thrusts were deep and hard, almost punishing if your body hadn’t wanted him so bad. “You belong to me.” He said as he flexed into you, pushing you up against the headboard.
 “Yes, baby. Only you.”
 “Who?” He asked again and you realized that he was not in the mood to hear any pet names.
 “You, Matthew, you,” you answered knowing that he owned you both body and soul, just as you owned him.
 “That’s right, baby.” Matthew's thrusts were deep and sure, as he knew what would bring you pleasure, and with a few more flexes of his hips, he sent you spiraling out of control, screaming his name.
 “MMMAAATTTTTTTTTTHHHHEEEEEWWW.”
 That was all he needed to catch his high and follow you down, your name on his lips. He rolled onto his side taking you with him; your breaths mingling together as you both calmed. Your nails skimmed down his spine aimless, something you tended to do after sex. Matthew always said he loved the continued intimacy it brought, and tonight it felt like you both needed that. His lips found yours, the kiss loving and tender. “I love you, (Y/N),” Matthew whispered while brushing a stray lock of hair from your face. “And I promise, I won’t let Auston get to me next time.”
 “Good, because you’re the only man I love Matthew, and the team doesn’t need you getting ejected from games because of me.”
 “It won’t happen again.” You truly hoped that it wouldn’t but with Matthew’s temper you never knew.
 It was a little over two weeks later that the Flames were taking on the Leafs, this time at the Saddledome, where you were in attendance. Admittedly, you were a bit nervous on the inside as to what would happen between the love of your life and the once lowlife that you'd briefly called boyfriend. You tried to shake off your nerves with idle chatter with some of the girls, but your eyes always seemed to drift back to where Matthew and Auston were on the ice.
 Matthew for his part stayed away from center ice for warmups, just like he told you he would. It wasn’t until the second period after a blown whistle that Auston finally decided to poke at him. “How’s that girlfriend Tkachuk? You know if I told her I wanted her back she’d leave you in a second.”
 “I doubt that Matthews. She told me you couldn't satisfy her in the bedroom. Something about cumming too soon.” Anger started to radiate across Auston’s face. “You should see a doctor about that.” Matthew skated away, completely ignoring anything Auston would be able to say back.
 The game was tied late in the third once again when Auston tried to rile Matthew up again. Considering he had two assists you understood why they wanted your boyfriend out of the game. “It wasn’t me who had the problem Tkachuk, (Y/N)’s pussy was wider than the Grand Canyon.”
 “Hmm,” Matthew taunted back. “Must be your small pencil dick, because she’s so tight it’s like a vice-grip around me.” Auston took offense and cross-checked Matthew into the boards right as the play began, earning him two minutes in the penalty box. Matthew laughed at him as the ref took him over. Auston wasn’t there for long, as Matthew scored the game-winning goal forty-some seconds into the penalty. You jumped up out of your seat with the rest of the girls cheering and screaming.
 Even though they pulled the goalie, the Leafs couldn’t seem to find the back of the net before the buzzer sounded ending the game. You made your way down to wait outside the tunnel with the rest of the significant others. Most everyone was gone before Matthew finally came out, scooping you up in his arms. “Did you see that baby?”
 “I saw Matty,” you told him, kissing him on the lips. “That goal was impressive.”
 He finally set you back down on your feet. “No babe, that’s not what I meant. I didn’t let him get to me.”
 “Yeah, I saw that too. I’m so proud of you.”
 “Well, he can’t get under my skin about you, when I get to be all over yours.” His hands slid under your sweater and inside your jeans to cup your ass. “Speaking of your skin…let’s go home so I can get you out of all these clothes and see you.”
 You kissed him, long and languidly, before pulling back. “I like that idea. I like it a lot.” The two of you left the arena hands interlaced just as your bodies would be as soon as you got home.

Tumblr media
Midterms were finally over. It had been a long two weeks; all nighters, energy drinks, and stress headaches. Now you were ready to forget it all in a single night.
Your dress was a little too short and a little too tight. A pink number with large sequins. It looked straight out of the nineties; an appropriate choice for your girls’ night. A downtown club was hosting a ladies night with a retro theme and you felt like the spice girl you’d once idolized. And a little buzzed.
Lexi had invited you along with her roommates, Cece and Rima, to dance off the dread of your results. Study had been half the battle, it was still to see if it had done you any good. In your Twentieth Century Lit class, you were certain you’d fallen on your face. Figuratively, though you had done so literally your first day. It had set a precedent for your apparent cluelessness.
You followed the girls inside after your hand was stamped and the flashing lights mingled with the thumping music and filled your body. You were enlivened by the bodies already dancing and the voice that underlined the melody. A single pre-drink and you were already feeling tomorrow’s hangover.
You joined the chaos of the dance floor as Lexi searched her purse and came out victorious with a handful of bills. “First rounds on me!” She sang, “How about it girls? You ready for more?”
“Holy shit, Lex,” Cece giggled, “Another night with the sugar daddy?”
“Don’t call him that,” Lexi retorted. 
“Well, what would you call him?” Rima countered. “You fuck him, he gives you money.”
“Shut up before I shut you up!’ Lexi whined.
“Hey, both of you,” you warned and grabbed Lexi’s hand, “And stop waving that around.”
“Oh thank youuuu,” she clung to you, “I’ll have a vodka soda.”
“Wha-- no.”
“Do they have whiteclaw?” Rima asked.
“Ew. don’t,” Cece wrinkled her nose, “I’ll have a vodka too.”
“Fine, vodka cran!” Rima nearly hollered. The girls must have started well before you showed up to their dorm.
You huffed and took the fistful of bills. You sidled through the crowd of pairs and groups writhing and waving to the music. Another drink would make you less aware. 
You stepped up to the bar and found yourself nearly bowled over by another patron as she stumbled away with her drink. You knocked the arm of a man leaned against the bar top and turned to apologize.
“Oop, sorry, I didn’t--” You froze and blinked several times in disbelief. The familiar face grinned in recognition. “Professor Drysdale? What are you--”
“I didn’t know it was ladies night,” he spoke over the music, “Had my last exam and thought I’d unwind but--” He looked around. “I didn’t take you for the club type.”
You squirmed as his eyes strayed from your face and you got closer to the bar. “Well, not every night,” you chuckled. 
“I almost didn’t recognize you,” he raised his hand and waved to the bartender. “Took me a moment, to be honest.”
“Ahh,” you watched the bartender near and he bent to hear your order. You got yourself a gin after your last sour experience with vodka.
You watched the bartender work, unsure of what to say to your unexpected company. His remark stuck in your head. You often sat in his class in your favourite loose cardigan or a sweat with fraying cuffs. Massachusetts was growing colder by the day and only the alcohol and your lack of a damn kept you warm that night.
“So, I guess you’re here with friends,” he said.
“Yeah, just a few of us.” You said as you rubbed your sweaty fingers on the bills. The bartender pushed your drink across the bar but Professor Drysdale was quicker than you as he held out a fifty.
“My treat.” He said.
“Oh no,” you tried to grab his hand but he waved it at the bartender again. “You don’t need to--”
“Come on. Save your money. You college kids need all you can get,” he insisted.
You smiled awkwardly and carefully took two cups in each hand. You lifted them as he watched you. You peeked over at him and found his eyes glued to you.
“Thank you, professor,” you said.
“Ransom,” he corrected you, “I’m not much of a dancer… but I don’t mind the music. Maybe we’ll bump into each other again.”
“Maybe.” You turned and narrowly missed another collision. 
You followed the maze of bodies back to your group and doled out the drink. Your fingers were left sticky with soda and you took a deep gulp of your own. You tried not to think of the odd encounter with your professor. It wasn’t too unusual you spotted the occasional faculty downtown; students often stuck to the campus bar. Even so, you were surprised at his interest. In class, he barely seemed to recall your name, even if you were the only one who raised your hand. Well, maybe he had also indulged a little too much.
You forgot your paranoia as soon as you finished your drink. You set aside the plastic cup and lost yourself in TLCs greatest hit. You’d regret it in the morning when it mattered.
🥂
After the second drink, came the third, the fourth, and fifth that tasted more like a double. The lights blurred in your vision and the music made your head swell delightfully. 
The night had worn on and as a slow R&B tune came on, you weren’t quite sure what to do. Cece had long ago found a guy to hang off and Rima and Lexi were all too happy to start dancing with each other. You hiccupped and contemplated a break against the wall. 
You were startled as you felt a hand on your back and kept from your retreat.
“Need a partner?” Ransom’s voice flooded into your veins like the alcohol; warm and disorienting. 
“Huh, oh, no, it’s--” You giggled bashfully. “That’s fine.”
“Come on,” he pulled you against him, your back to his front, “Wasn’t too long ago I was out here with all the coeds.”
“Professor--”
“Ransom,” he purred in your ear. “I like this song.”
“I don’t think--”
“Don’t think then,” he said sharply as his arm snaked around you and urged you closer. He leaned in and spoke in your ear. “Seeing your ass in that dress makes me wonder why you ever cover it up.”
“Pr--Ransom, please, I--”
“It’s just a dance, sweetie,” he grinded into you and you felt a twitch in his pants. “Just like that.”
He guided your drunken body against his as his fingers danced along the hem of your dress. The music swept you up as you dizzily surrendered to him. Behind the haze, you knew it was wrong, but you knew you were strong enough to resist. And part of you, didn’t believe your professor was groping you.
“Mmm, you’re so sweet,” he groaned, “That’s it,” he rubbed his crotch against you, “Let me feel that ass.”
“Professor,” you breathed as one his hands caressed your thigh, “You shouldn’t--”
“Wish you dressed like this in class.” He slithered, “Nice little short skirt. You can sit in the front row and give me a little peek.”
“Stop,” you hissed as your vision swam and panic rose in your chest, the gin making you unsteady and uncertain, “Please.”
“Please,” he echoed, “I love to hear you beg me, sweetie.”
“I-I-I--” you stuttered stupidly and finally tore away from him. “I have to pee.”
Your ankle bent in your heel and you hurried past him. You nearly fell as you batted away his hand and fled to the restroom. You stopped by the doorway at the edge of the floor and looked back. Ransom watched you with head tilted and a smirk on his lips, unbothered by the drunk horde around him. You turned and quickly shielded yourself with the door.
You took a breath and ambled forward to stare at yourself in the mirror. Were you that drunk or was your professor really trying to get in your pants?
🥂
When you returned to the girls, Ransom was gone. You didn’t look around for him much, afraid you might find him. You finally tore Cece away from her partner as Lexi began to lean heavily. You took her under the arm and realised that every one of you were a mess. It would be a parade of fools trying to get home.
You got your jackets from the check and went out into the bitter cold. You shivered as you left Lexi to hang off Rima and you swayed as you hailed a cab. A yellow taxi pulled up and you opened the door as you ushered the rest of the girls in. A hand rested beside yours atop the door.
“Looks like there’s no room for you,” Ransom said and you flinched as you looked at him.
“I can get in the front,” you argued weakly.
“Ride with me.” He raised his hand to call another cab, “You don’t wanna overcrowd the car.”
“No, I can--”
“It’s cold!” Cece pulled the door from your grasp and it slammed, nearly knocking you over. “Driver, Western Building on campus.”
“Wait--” The driver pulled away without pause and you stumbled off the curb.
Ransom caught you and pulled you back up. He wrapped his arm around you as another taxi appeared.
“You’re pretty fucked up, sweetie, I can’t have you riding alone,” he opened the door and bent to usher you inside. You struggled but not much, hauling yourself across the seat as he followed closely. He gave an address you didn’t recognize as he shut the door.
“What-- where--” You touched your forehead as you leaned back against the seat. “Professor--”
“I like how you call me that,” he reached over and rested his hand on your leg, “Don’t worry, sweetie, better you come with me than some creep.”
You grabbed his hand and tried to push it away but it didn’t budge. He squeezed your thigh and got closer. His other arm went around your shoulder and drew you against him.
“It’s okay, sweetie, you’re tired. Just close your eyes.” He hummed. “I’ll get you back safe.”
You shook your head but your eyelids drooped against your will. The dancing, the gin, the weeks of sleep deprivation piled atop you and dragged you into a blurred stupor. You felt detached from the world as it passed outside the car windows and suddenly a door opened and closed. Your body was moving but not of your own volition. 
Your vision cleared for a moment and you looked up at a large house with immense windows. You blinked and you were inside. You sat for a moment as Ransom moved around and you were lifted up. You were cradled in his arms as he carried up a flight of stairs and through the unfamiliar hallway. You bounced atop a mattress with a jolt.
“Wha--” you quivered and tried to sit up. Your head spun as your lashes fluttered.
You sat dumbly, barely able to hold yourself up on shaky arms as Ransom undressed. You babbled as he revealed his muscled chest and thick arms. He was entirely unlike the first, and only boy, you’d been with. He was a man.
“I’m drunk…” you slurred, “I can’t… you’re my--my--”
“That’s right,” he reached into his jeans pocket, his fly open, “I’m your professor,” he pulled out his phone and neared. He nudged you so that you fell onto your back and pushed your legs apart. You looked up at him as he snapped photos of you. You raised your hand to try to hide yourself. “If anyone were to find out you tried to seduce me, and for a better grade, you’ll be expelled. A star scholar like you, untouchable for any university in the country. Pity.”
“You can’t.” You murmured as you closed your legs and tried to sit up but found it almost impossible. “You…”
“I will and if you try to blow the whistle, I’ll do it first and I’ll be a whole lot more convincing than the girl everyone saw piss drunk tonight.” He sneered, “Now open those legs for me, sweetie.”
You didn’t move. You hugged yourself with your arms as you were caught in a heavy tide. You were terrified, worse; helpless. You listened to the rustle of his clothing and the mattress dipped by your feet. 
His hands began at your ankles and glided up to your knees. He pushed your legs apart as you held them together. You were forced to relent as he pinched you viciously and your muscles quaked. He moved between your legs and rubbed your thighs as your skirt rode up. He pressed two fingers along the crotch of your panties.
“What’s the point of these in a dress like that, huh?” He began to tease you through the fabric, “What’s the matter, sweetie? You scared?” He slowly pulled aside your panties and touched your folds, “Am I your first?”
You shook your head and squeezed your eyes shut. You whimpered as he flicked your clit.
“Maybe not your first but definitely the best,” he purred, “Ah, ah, you’re already wet. Kept you waiting all night, didn’t I?”
“Please, I don’t want to--”
“Shhh,” his fingers slipped down to your entrance and he traced it carefully, “You’re drunk. You don’t know what you want,” he poked his finger inside of you, “But your body does.” He added another and glided in and out of your easily. “Fuck, you’re tight.”
“P-p-pl--” Your voice fizzled as he curled his fingers and pressed the hell of his hand to your clit.
Your eyes rolled back and your eyelids shut. You were lost in a daze of pleasure and confusion. You were trapped but that coil winding inside you didn’t want to escape. The knot of nerves tangling tighter and tighter overpowered your fear and had you bracing the mattress. Your legs bent without a thought and your back arched. Ransom hummed as he guided your body closer to the edge.
Your nails curled into the duvet and your toes clenched. You tried to breathe, the taste of gin still on your tongue, and cried out instead. You shook as you came but it didn’t feel like your body. You felt as if you were floating above as you were used by this man. Your legs went limp and slid straight as you panted wildly and the world was specks of light as you opened your eyes.
“Teacher’s pet, aren’t you?” He taunted. “You always have the answers.”
You focused on Ransom as the room remained a fog behind him. A halo seemed to limn his figure as he drew his hand from your cunt and licked his fingers. He delighted in the taste and planted his hands on the bed and bent over you.
“That smug little smile when you’re right. You’re always right.” He hissed. “I had girls like you in my classes. Always thought they needed a good fuck.”
You touched his chest and pushed pathetically. He chuckled as his nose brushed yours.
“You know, when you bend over to get a pen from your bag, I can see straight down your shirt,” he winked, “It makes me wanna bend you over myself. You know how hard it is to teach when you’ve got me all riled up?”
“I didn’t-- Never…” you murmured, your head lolling as you found it hard to follow his words, hard to keep from drifting away entirely.
“I was going to wait until the break… Tonight was unexpected but not unwanted,” he uttered as he reached between your bodies. He dragged his tip along your folds. “You should know what you do to me.”
He stopped at your entrance and slowly pushed inside. Your mouth formed an O and he groaned with each inch. His arm came back up and hooked under your shoulder as he sank to his limit. You moaned at how full you were. Your walls hugged him and you grasped his shoulder as you tried to pull away from him. 
He grabbed your jaw and held your head straight as he glared down at you and jerked his hips.
“That’s all you, sweetie,” he muttered, “Does it hurt you like it hurts me?”
He began to thrust and your legs bent around him as you tried to ease the pain. Since your regrettable high school sweetheart, you hadn’t done anything more than some foreplay and that had been shameful, if not forgettable. You closed your eyes, your head swirled and your body bounced against the bed as the darkness embraced you.
When you opened your eyes next, your head hung to the side as Ransom held himself over you, arms straight as he rutted. His gaze clung to the joining of your bodies and the slick noise of it. His hair dangled down from his head as he watched himself fuck you, slamming harder and faster each time as if driven by the sight.
You winced and let out a moan. It hurt, delightfully so, but in the back of your alcohol-laced mind, you knew it was wrong.
He lowered himself slowly, bending to take your nipple in his mouth and suckle as he continued to rock against you. His thrusts grew sharper as his groans sent a rumble through your chest. Your thighs tingled and your core thrummed as you were overcome by your drunken ecstasy.
Your voice filled the room as you came again and you didn’t realise it was yours. Ransom drew back and sat up as he lifted your pelvis, crashing into you as hard as he could as he bared his teeth. His eyes were smoky as he grunted and his motion turned frantic.
“I’m gonna- ahhh,” he took several long thrusts as he flooded you with his orgasm. 
He kept going until the sensation made him spasm and he hung his head. He reached down to spread your cunt and admired it as he slowly slid out. As his cum leaked from you, he scooped it up with his fingers and pushed it back in, spreading the rest along your folds.
“Shit,” he said as he grazed your thighs with his nails, your eyes closed and consciousness fading with his voice, “Such a good girl…”
🥂
You felt as if you were buried in sand when you woke up. The world was too bright and yet too dull. The night before was blank, a void, and your surroundings were a greater mystery. The framed manuscripts, the antique side table with a twisted vase atop it, the pristine white walls. You groaned as every move made your head throb.
You rolled onto your back and gurgled. Your stomach stirred and you struggled to keep it from erupting. You turned your head slowly as your hand felt along the arm beside you. Ransom Drysdale, your Lit professor, watched you as you stared back confused. His bare torso made your cheeks burn and the dress bunched up around your waist added to your embarrassment. How had this happened?
“What-- Professor--”
“If I spank you, would you scream that for me? ‘Professor’?” He mocked.
“I don’t--” You sat up and it sent a strike of pain down the back of your skill, “What happened? How--”
“Do you want to see the pictures?” He sat up and his hand tickled along your back. “I think you might be able to guess without them.”
You blinked at him and drew away from his touch. You turned your legs over the side of the bed and took a breath before you stood. You pulled your dress up over your arms and tugged the skirt back down as you searched for your panties.
“What’s wrong, sweetie?” He asked.
“I have to get… back to campus,” you gripped your head. “Where’s my purse?”
“Relax,” he cooed, “I’ll drive you back…” You heard him stand and turned as he approached you, naked. “But I think that we should get cleaned up first.”
“I--We--”
“A nice hot shower,” he licked his lips and leaned in, “Or do you like walking around with me all down your leg?”
You reeled and your stomach churned. You covered your mouth and shoved him away. You ran for the small door on the other side of the room and thankfully, found a toilet within. You wretched into the bowl until your body ached. You sensed his shadow behind you.
“You just make sure you wash your mouth out, sweetie,” he stepped past you and cranked the shower on, “I didn’t get a chance to play with that yet.”

One more swift turn over the corner, your eyes squinting as you tried to concentrate, “That’ll show him,” grumbling under your breathe, pressing the scissors down, “done.” With a smirk on your face.
You had been working on cutting out Steve’s face from your honeymoon album. An album you had spent hours on, your blood, sweet and tears, literally, you must’ve gotten like five paper cuts working on it. But none of that mattered. You were mad.
No, you were fuming.
The previous year, you hadn’t been able to celebrate your birthday with Steve since he was called on an emergency mission. Which was fine at the time you had only been dating for a few weeks. And when he went to Siberia over a month ago, you thought he’d be back for your birthday for sure. Then you’d get to have him pamper you and baby you for the whole day, not that you needed such an excuse, but still.
It was one in the morning, your birthday had already started and you doubted that Steve would be able to make it. He had gone silent a week ago, for his teams and your safety.
Well, by the time he’s back you’ll have cut him out of all your pictures. Maybe you’d even go stay at your sister’s for a while. You missed her and needed a vacation and teach Steve a lesson. You wouldn’t be back until he’s growling on his knees - begging for your forgiveness.
Or maybe... he wouldn’t care. Maybe he’d be glad that you’re gone. You didn’t know what you’d do if that happened, you always seem to be weighing him down. You understood that being married to Captain America meant that you had to share him with the rest of the world. Most of times, you were alright with that. You didn’t care much for the Captain, he was fine but he was no Steve Rogers.
You sighed, giving up on your little project, thinking about maybe calling it a night. Hopefully your friends remember your birthday and do something special for you.
Slipping into Steve’s t-shirt – because as much as you were mad at him, you really did miss him. This was the longest you had been away from him.
Fluffing your pillow, keeping Mister Steebie next to you, you climbed on top of it. Ready to switch off the lights -
“Hey there, sweetheart,” you gasped when you heard the low rumble, clutching your neck, taken aback and panting.
Taking a deep breathe, you looked at your door over your shoulder, sighing when you noticed it’s Steve.
Except it wasn’t...?
“What the fuck?” you frowned and did a double take.
Getting off your bed and walking over to the door. He was still dressed in his dark stealth suit, his dirty blonde hair swept back, his jaw covered in a thick beard - a few shades darker than his hair.
You stopped a few steps away from him, taking in his new look. You didn’t know what to make of it but it did make you shiver - for some reason.
Your lips pressed in a flat line as you stared at him. He spread his arms out, in an attempt to hug you, probably, trying to close the distance between you but you took a step back. Eyeing him suspiciously.
“What’s wrong, doll?” he tilted his head to the side, giving you his Disney eyes.
“What’s wrong with your face?” you spat.
“What do you mean?” his eyebrows scrunched together as he rubbed a hand over his beard.
“Don’t do that!” you admonished him, folding your hands under your titts, perking them up.
“Do what?” scratching his beard, “You’re not making any sense, doll. Didn’t you miss me?”
“I did,” you huffed, “Do you know what date it is?”
“Yes, I do know. That’s why I’m here. I got back as soon as the mission wrapped up. Now come here and let me give you a birthday kiss,” extending an arm towards you.
“Nuh-uh,” you shook your head.
“Why?” he pouted. “I made it back in time, just like I said I would. I missed you, come on just one kiss... wait a minute. Is this about the beard?” You nodded. “You hate it? Tony said you would, I just didn’t have time to shave. I’ll go do it now then.” Since he was desperate for kisses and cuddles.
“No, don’t!” You pressed a palm on his chest, in an effort to stop him. “I mean, sure if you want to... but I don’t hate it. It’s kind of the opposite... I think. I just need time to process this.”
“Doll,” he exasperated, sighing, 'politely’ trying to tell you off. “I’m tired. And you’re really not making any sense.”
“I just fucking love your beard, ok!” you snapped. Your cheeks heating up at the brash confession. Clenching your thighs together. You shouldn’t like it as much as you did. It hides Steve’s beautiful face and makes him look so feral and dangerous. So not Steve.
“Really?” he quirked a brow, pulling you flush against his chest, “how much do you like it, puppy?”
“I - I don’t know...” Still embarrassed, you hide your face over his heart, rubbing your cheek against the rough kevlar of his suit. “I like it a lot, I think. Please keep it?”
He hummed, “But you won’t even look at me.”
“It’s a lot to take in, okay? It’s like, ugh remember when you saw me in my wedding dress?”
He'd never forget, he had cried like a baby. “This is nothing like that,” he rolled his eyes.
“It’s... give me some time. Small steps.” Bringing up a shaky hand to touch his soft fuzzy jaw, “Oh! Remember that time I bought that forties style nightie. And you went to town on me?” looking up at him, “This is like that.”
He nodded, finally understanding. “I get it, doll. But I’m afraid I don’t have time for ‘small steps’. I missed you so much,” Rutting his erection into your belly - as if to physically prove it. “And I need to make your birthday special. Treat the birthday girl right, huh?” He pressed his thumb on your cheekbone, caressing it, dipping his neck down to kiss you but you pulled away.
You hugged him again, standing on your tippy toes and nuzzling your nose in the crook his neck, his beard tickling you ever so slightly.
“I thought you wouldn’t make it. That I’d be all alone.” You whined. And then he comes back looking this good! Making it impossible for you to stay mad at him.
“Of course, I made it. Couldn’t let my best girl be alone. Now let me kiss you,” you shook your head again, “fine then. We can do your small steps. Let me eat you out,” biting the shell of your ear, “I’m hungry, doll.”
There was no way you could say no to that. “Oh - okay,” you gulped a huge lump of air.
Suddenly, he swept you off your feet, throwing you over his shoulder, his hand kneading your ass before smacking it, “Missed this sweet ass too.” he said, throwing you on top of the mattress. “I like this shirt on you, pup,” he smiled, his heart swelled as he felt strangely possessive of you, hovering above you, “But it had to come off.”
With a lack of finesse, his greedy hands ripped the poor clothing to shreds. He hadn’t gone so long without you. He needed to be inside you as soon as he could.
“Stevie!” You tried to chastise him.
He threw the shirt away, growling at the sight of your naked breasts, your hard pebbles, your hands coming up to cover them from his dark eyes. That won’t do, he pulled them away, pinning them beside your head. “What do you think you’re doing?” he frowned
You shuddered. Really, a beard shouldn’t make that much of a significant difference but it made him all the more intimidating. “Sorry, daddy.” You pouted. If nothing else, the D-word always worked.
He shook his head, capturing a nipple in his mouth, grazing it with his teeth. He made sure to run his beard over your breast. Letting go of your twisting hand as it clenched on the back of his head. Your back arching, pushing more your body to him.
With a loud ‘pop’ he let go of your hard nub, shoving two fingers in your mouth and ordering you to suck and like he obedient doll you were - you followed.
He pulled his fingers out, snaking his hand between your legs, dipping them in your heat. Then he noticed it and frowned.
Looking to his side, a sack of flour? No, looked fluffy enough to be cotton. “What is this?” he wanted to know.
You were too far gone to even register his words but you vaguely heard him. You bit your lip, following his eyes. “Oh, that’s Mister Steebie.”
“What?”
“That’s you. I missed you and I needed a cuddle buddy. So I stuffed some cotton in a sack, dressed him in your flannel and drew your face on him.”
His 'face' was just two dots with a blue sharpie, golden hair on his head and a pink mouth. “It’s cute.” he chuckled, grabbing ‘Steebie' and putting him on the floor, “But you don’t need him. You have the real thing now,” he reminded you, trailing kisses down your body, pushing your thighs apart to make room for him and settling between them.
“I suppose I should upgrade him now. Draw the beard on. I wonder if I have a brown sharpie,” you mused, yelping when you felt his teeth grazing over your clit. “God!” you heaved, propping yourself up on your elbows you looked down at him. A few strands of his hair had fallen on his forehead, he looked ethereal. “You’re so pretty, Stevie.” Your hand caressing his face.
He leaned into it, having been touch starved for over a month. “You’re the pretty one, pup. Now, will you be good for me? Let me treat my birthday girl right?”
You nodded. Laying back down, running your fingers through his longer locks.
“Did you touch yourself while I was gone?” he asked
“No, I followed your rules.”
“Good, I didn’t either.” Not that he had the time or space to anyway. But he wanted to save himself for you.
“Thor told me, women like a nice thick beard,” rubbing his face on your inner thighs, “he’s a bit of an oversharer. But I knew you’d like it too. Guess I was right.” He was smug about it too. He knew you inside and out. More than anybody else, maybe more than you know yourself.
He pushed your thighs apart as you squirmed above him, trying to clamp them on his head. “Now, sweetheart. I thought you promised to be good. Do I need to tie you up?”
You furiously shook your head. “No, please! I’ll be good.” Normally, you’d love to be tied up. But you needed to touch him, his face and his hair.
“I know it’s hard, pup, just try a little harder,” He tongue nudging at your entrance. His fingers spreading your lips apart, “such a pretty pussy,” he praised.
Wrapping his mouth around your clit and pushing his fingers in your pussy. He made sure to gather as much of your slick over his beard as he could, to make a mess of it.
You threw your head back, trying your best to stay still, it was too overwhelming, too good, “Stevie! Stop, stop please,” you begged, pulling on his hair.
He immediately pulled away, hovering back over you, inspecting you for any distress.
“I want to come with you inside me. Please.” you said, fluttering your lashes.
He sighed, “Don’t scare me like that.”
“Come on! It’s my birthday. You have to do as I say,” you giggled.
“As you wish,” he shook his head. He would’ve given in even if it wasn’t your birthday.
His fingers scrambling to get his dick out of his suit. Kissing your neck, sucking on your special spot, he pushed inside you. Digging his fingers in your hips, he bit your neck, “So fucking tight, doll.” He groaned, he was at the end of his rope, he couldn’t take it anymore, snapping his hips with a swift thrust he buried himself inside you.
“Stevie,” you mewled, feeling his tip pressing against your special spot. “Right there!”
Pulling his cock out and then pushing back, “Here?” he wiggled his hips, pressing his lips to your jaw.
“Yeah,” you gave a shaky reply. Already on the edge as he kept ramming in on your g-spot. “Steve, kiss me please?” You needed to feel his lips on yours, to feel his beards on your face.
Circling a hand under your waist to pull you up and closer to him, his hips setting a punishing pace, he crashed his lips on yours. Clashing your teeth together. He moaned as you pulled his bottom lip with your teeth, before kissing him again.
Letting go of his lips, just for a second to pepper kisses all over his beard and then kissing him deeply.
You clenched around his length, pulling his hair, biting the hilt to his jaw to stifle your scream. Waves of pleasure crashing over you one after another.
He came right after you, with a few more thrusts, filling you to the brim. He collapsed on top of you, careful not to crush you.
He laid beside you, on his side your bodies still connected. He couldn’t have any of his spend escaping your tight cunt.
He kissed the crown of your head. “You liked your first gift?” he asked as you hummed. “Don’t worry, I got plenty more for you.” he smirked already feeling himself get hard again in your pussy.
When you were quiet for a while, so unusual for you, your fingers playing with his beard, “What’s wrong, pup?” He tilted your face up so he could see it.
“Nothing,” you shook your head. Suddenly feeling guilty for ruining your precious pictures. “They need you more than I ever will - your team and this world.”
“That’s... true. You don’t need me. You’re a strong woman, if anything I need you. But that’s a good thing, sweetheart. You want me. And that's enough for me.”
“Really?” Your lips curling up in a big grin as you nuzzled his beard, feeling awfully proud of yourself.
Steve’s heart was big enough to share him with the entire world. That he could still love you more than you could even begin to comprehend. And always make his way back to you. You wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Long Con Part Nine
Previous Part | Masterlist | Next Part Pairing: Marcus Pike x Reader Rating: T Notes: I hope y’all had a good week! 💕 Warnings: Cursing, fluff, me pretending that I know literally anything about art history or art forgery— again. Summary: You wound up spending much of the day holed up in Marcus’ room, sitting at his desk with the numerous print-outs, a marker, a notebook, and his laptop. 
Tumblr media
You offered to help Marcus with the wedding errands that needed to be done, but he could see how distracted you were by the print-outs he’d been able to get of the x-rays and craquelure of Leda and the Swan. He shook his head, nodding to where you’d already set up shop at his desk. “Don’t worry about wedding stuff today,” He reassured, smiling. Then he tipped your head up for a quick peck and left.
You wound up spending much of the day holed up in Marcus’ room, sitting at his desk with the numerous print-outs, a marker, a notebook, and his laptop. You looked for comparisons between the x-rays of the Mona Lisa, Da Vinci’s sketches of Leda, and the other reproductions that you were more familiar with. Jill actually had to come up and draw you out of the room by taking Marcus’ laptop charging cord hostage. 
When Marcus returned that evening, he found you folding programs with laser focus. 
“Having fun?” He teased, settling down beside you on the floor. You were leaning back against the couch, as you had when you and Marcus had been putting the favors together. 
“Mhm,” You hummed lightly, peering down at the program and lining up the corners of the paper before smoothing down the middle. Marcus picked up an unfolded program, beginning to fold them as you did. 
“How were um-- Errands, how’d they… You know?” You asked absently. “They were fine. Tuxes have been acquired, venue’s got the final headcount, seating chart and favors, photographer’s got the shot list.” “Has Marnie called the hotel they’re staying at and found out if there was an upgrade available?” You glanced at Marcus, “Might be able to get something if she mentions it’s her wedding weekend.” Marcus’ brows rose. “I don’t think she has, but I’ll find out.” “Should probably check in with wherever the rehearsal dinner is being held, too,” You added, turning back to the programs. “I’ll keep that in mind...Are you okay?” Marcus asked as you dropped another folded program atop the pile. “Mhm.” “Hey,” Marcus reached out, setting his hand on your arm. You glanced over at him. “S’wrong?” “You seem a little tense,” He scooched closer, thigh pressing against yours, “I can take over program folding,” He added. “She’s mad at me,” Jill called from the kitchen. “I am not mad!” You called back. “What happened?” Marcus frowned, glancing between the two of you. Jill came into the living room, leaning over the back of the couch and peering down at the two of you. “I made her come out from hunching over those photos that you printed out this morning,” She told Marcus as you pointedly folded another program. Busted. “How long were you in there?” Marcus asked, rubbing his hand over the back of your neck gently. “Since you left. I only got the damn cord away from her half an hour ago,” Jill answered, pushing off of the couch, “Speakin’a which, you hungry, Marky?” You snickered, muttering, “Marky.” “No thanks, mom.” “What about you, honey?” “No thank you, Jill,” You glanced back, offering her a smile before dropping another program atop the pile. Marcus watched her go before he leaned a little closer. “Were you able to work anything out?” He asked, picking up another page. “Nothing substantive,” You grumbled, folding the page and setting it aside. Marcus set his on the pile before he drew you into his chest. You pouted a little, slouching against him as you reached for the next page. “You know I’ve got the team working on this, too, right? And the team working out of the Louvre.” “I know,” You mumbled. “So relax,” Marcus murmured, turning his head and pressing a kiss to your temple. “I’m incredibly relaxed. I’m also very focused on folding these programs.” “Sweetheart, programs do not need to be that perfect.” 
“Agree to disagree.” You felt Marcus’ fingers tuck under your chin and turn your head to look at him. You paused in your folding, blinking up at him. “You sure you’re alright?” He asked gently. You were not— but what was one more lie in this house? “Yeah,” You murmured before you leaned up, taking a chance and pecking Marcus’ lips. You felt him smile as he cupped your cheek, keeping you close as he deepened the kiss. You sighed, relaxing a little more and resting a hand on his thigh. As the kiss broke, you rested your head against his neck, closing your eyes as Marcus rubbed his hand over your shoulder. “...Feel better?” He asked quietly. “I think so.” “I can do that anytime,” He added after a moment, and you smiled, pressing your face into the crook of his neck. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
-- “You still doing that?” Marcus asked. “Hm?” You glanced back at him, catching sight of him in his pajamas. Jill had relinquished the laptop cord shortly after dinner, and Marcus had freed you of program-folding duty. “What...Time is it?” You asked, frowning. “It’s a little after midnight,” Marcus walked over to stand behind you, bracing his hands on the back of your chair and looking over your work, “You comin’ to bed?” You knew that you should— it had been a long day (after Jill had finally ceded the charging cord), and you were a bit tired. “Uh… N--No, not yet—” “C’mon,” Marcus murmured, leaning down and wrapping his arms around your shoulders, “You need to get some sleep.” “I know, I’m gonna, I just— I think I’m really close to something here,” You admitted, looking up at Marcus, “I wanna chase it down. I’ll take it into the living room so the light doesn’t keep you up,” You added, starting to gather up some of the materials. “If you’re sure,” Marcus conceded softly, “But get some sleep, huh?” “I will.” “Promise?” You glanced up at Marcus, smiling. “Promise.” He nodded, leaning in and pressing a kiss to your forehead before heading to bed. 
-- 
You leaned away from the markups on the coffee table, dropping your marker with a shaky hand. 
You’d made a call to where she’d been sent, and found out she had had her sentence shortened. She’d been out for nearly three years— she’d missed parole; there was a warrant out for her arrest. You hadn’t wanted to believe it was her work, you hadn’t, but you’d found the messages she always left. One was in the x-rayed under layers of the wreath of flowers around the swan’s neck: ‘Dominus ad ludere’. And then, another x-rayed layer, within one of the grey layers of the painting, near the darkened fold of the swan’s wing: ‘Ad opus domini’. The master at play, the master at work.  The lettering was small, difficult to spot, but you knew that handwriting, and you knew exactly where to look. You couldn’t help the sick, twisting feeling in your stomach as you picked up your phone. You grabbed your notebook where you’d jotted down your notes on the sketches and brushstrokes, the notes that she’d left behind, and you hurried out to the porch. You sat on the porch swing, peering out into the dark and settling your notebook on your lap. You tucked the phone against your ear, listening as it rang. “Special Agent Melinda Yuen,” Came the answer when the phone was picked up. You were fond of Marcus’ colleague; aside from Marcus, she was who you’d worked the closest with. “Hi, Mel, it’s me,” You said quietly, glancing toward the door. “Hey, professor! How ya been?” “Fine,” You smiled a little at her question, “You?” “I’m alright. If you’re calling looking for Marcus—” “No, I… I wanted to talk to you. Marcus sent me some of the stuff from that da Vinci picked up in Orléans. I took a look at it, it’s definitely not authentic.” “You got notes?” “You have a pen? I’m going to tell you exactly where to look.” You listed off the points and layers that you were able to identify, as well as the suspect for her to look into. Melinda went quiet on the other end for a moment. “Professor, isn’t that your grandm—” “Yes,” You answered hurriedly, “It is.” “...Shit.” “My feelings exactly— Look, Mel, I’ve gotta ask you a favor.” “Sure.” “Don’t...Don’t tell Marcus who called this in until he’s back in D.C.” “Why not?” “Just, please?” You pleaded softly, glancing toward the door. “...I don’t know, professor—” “I’m not asking you to keep it from him forever, just-- Couple’a days.”
“Alright,” Melinda sighed softly, before, “How do you know when he’ll be back, anyway?” “Oh, he uh— mentioned he was going to his sister’s wedding. I don’t wanna ruin his weekend, you know. Figured if I got you on the first ring on this number he must be down there, ‘specially with this big of a case in the office,” You fibbed quickly. “You figure correctly,” Melinda chuckled, “I’ll get these notes over to the team. Night, professor.” “Night, Mel, and thanks.” “Hey, thank you.” You lowered your phone, hanging it up and peering out over the backyard again. You sighed softly, pushing the swing back and forth with one foot. “Can’t sleep?” You jumped at the sound of the question, huffing a shaky laugh at the sight of Marnie. “No,” You confirmed, “What about you?” “Nope,” Marnie sighed, walking over to sit beside you, “I was working on my vows.” “Big speech-writing day in the Pike household,” You teased. “That Marcus’?” Marnie nodded to your notebook. “O-Oh! No. Some uh… Stuff on that painting. Inconsistencies, little things,” You set the notebook down between the two of them, giving Marnie the option to pick it up. She left it be, giving you a little bit of relief in what had been a mostly hellish day. “Think it’s serious?” You shrugged, “Could be inconsequential.” You were already lying to Marnie so much, what was one more? Though, frankly, it made you feel a little crummy. You were growing very fond of Marcus’ family. They were warm, and welcoming. You’d always imagined having a family like them. “You and Marcus seem good, you know?” Marnie said, nudging your shoulder with hers, “I mean...Happy.” You smiled, lowering your eyes. “Your brother is... amazing. All of you are, I mean— I don’t know any family that would open their home to someone they don’t know for a night, let alone an entire week. And your mom— the way she pulled me out of Marcus’ room earlier,” The two of you chuckled, “Well. I’ve appreciated everything since I’ve been here, how kind you all have been.” “Oh,” Marnie reached out, patting your hand lightly, “We’re happy to. ‘Sides, Marcus is clearly smitten with you.” Your stomach churned with unease as you peered down at your hands. Marcus was a better actor than he gave himself credit for. You knew you’d make a liar out of him. “Makes two of us,” You mumbled. Damn, but that was the truth.
