Coward - Vinnie Hacker Smut
Tumblr media
description: Vinnie cuts things off with Y/N when things get rough. After a month of Vinnie delving his emotions into work, he can no longer put his feelings aside. He realizes he makes the biggest mistake of his life. 
word count: 13,933
consists of: a rollercoaster of emotions, foreplay, dry humping, p in v, aftercare reconciliation. Jacob Day is mentioned in this fic. 
italics are flashbacks! 
Let’s get started!
Vinnie and Y/N.
Anytime anyone hears those names together, the first thing that comes to mind is what a perfect match they are for one another.
Their close friends know it, their fans know it, heck even they know it. Everyone does.
But, a better way to describe it now is, was a perfect match.
It all started with different fashion companies wanting to work with them for their fashion weeks. YSL and Dior partnering with Vinnie. Versace and Chanel partnering with Y/N.
The two were crazy busy. It was getting hard to maintain a healthy relationship. Between creating visions with the brands, fittings, events, photoshoots. It felt like the relationship they once knew was a lifetime ago.
The two were optimistic, you can give them that. They wanted to make things work. The whole fashion week events would be over someday, they’d say in motivation to pull through with it all.
When the fashion weeks did come, they’d be in the same city. Whether it was Milan, Paris, New York, or any other beautiful city, unfortunately they were hardly together.
Once all the fashion weeks were over though, they felt relieved. They finally felt like things would finally go back to normal for them.
The two were always always hip to hip. It was rare to see one without the other. They were practically like a married couple, never leaving each other's side. The only difference between a married couple and them was that they maintained the same love for each other. Married couples usually lose their flame after a while, but not them.
They were truly in love.
Right when they got back from the fashion world to their lovely and comforting home in California, their plans of going back to the way things were changed. Vinnie had to fly to Paris for a fashion shoot with Ami Paris.
Y/N was excited for him, she was so proud of him. Of course she felt sad knowing Vinnie had to leave. They hadn’t spent much time together in the past couple months, but nevertheless she was proud of his achievements.
Vinnie, on the other hand, felt horrible. He knew he would have to be traveling from Paris to LA, LA to Paris, repeatedly. All he wanted to do was give Y/N the time of day. He wanted to love her, spend every forsaken second with her. He missed doing that. They would do it all the time before the world they knew got crazy, he was looking forward to doing it again. But nope, the world had other plans in store for them.
Y/N, not even for one second felt like they wouldn’t manage it all. Hell yeah, it was hard, but they would get through it. They already had, what’s one more? She’d miss him tons but she’d be counting the days, weeks, for him to fully be in her graces again. They’d for sure need a vacation after all of it.
But Vinnie. Oh, Vinnie.
He felt guilty. He loved his girl. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her. He cared deeply for her and it tore him apart that he’d have to leave again.
This time it was different. The two had been looking forward to this present moment for months now. But he had to ruin it with another campaign. If it were up to only him, he would hit them with a hard pass. He’d prefer to be with his baby sprawled up, under his covers. They hadn’t been able to do that in months. It was always go, go, go.
They were supposed to do nothing together. That was their plan, that is what they had been looking forward to.
He kept pondering to himself that it was all his fault. He’d leave Y/N in a couple days, all alone this time. She would no longer be working like crazy, surrounded by thousands of people. It would just be her, without him. She would be at home, without him.
“What’s wrong?” She would ask, frowning.  
Vinnie was sitting at the edge of his bed, quietly. Y/N was kneeling behind him as she wrapped her arms under his buff arms.
It took him a few seconds to respond.
“Nothing.” He’d say.
“Come on, Vinnie. You should be happy, right now!” She said, knowing he was upset about Paris. She knew him more than anyone. She could see right through him. “Sure, I know it’s going to be hard. I know. But it’s me and you against the world, nothing can stop us. You’ve got to lighten up. Seeing you like this makes me feel down too, you know?” She murmured the last part, pressing her lips onto his soft cheek.
And for that second, he felt like they could actually pull through. He was just too far up in his thoughts. He was focusing too much on the negativity to realize that they’ve never failed at loving each other.
Vinnie woke up the next morning, before his sweet Y/N. He caught himself feeling guilty and upset with himself, all over again.
Right beside him, restfully sleeping was his world.
He felt his throat clenching as he realized he couldn’t give you this. You two would no longer wake up to each other, huddled up. He hated that.
He got out of bed roughly leaving you behind. He walked into his conjoined restroom and stared at the sink countertop. If it wasn’t for Y/N being a couple feet away, he would’ve let his rage take over and punch the countertop.
He just couldn’t do it.
He thought about it for a couple hours that day. Y/N had woken up a while ago, but Vinnie pushed her away. He finally came to the conclusion, he had made a plan. He had to let Y/N know now in order for it to work out before he had to leave for Paris.
He sat her down. Thankfully she started speaking first, he didn’t know how to start the conversation.
“Are you finally going to acknowledge me? It feels like all day you’ve been ignoring me,” She spoke out, seemingly hurt.
“I-I’m sorry,” He croaked out. He was holding it all in. He looked down at his lap, fidgeting and playing with his beautiful hands.
“Vinnie, I thought we talked about this,” She expressed with a sigh. She scooted closer to him, she was wrapping her legs around his waist, in an attempt to get him finally to look at her.
Before she could, he pulled her off of him, placing her beside him.
“No, Y/N! I don’t think this is going to work out!” Vinnie let out, finally speaking to her this whole day.
“W-what?” Y/N said, she felt taken aback, realizing what Vinnie meant.
‘It’s over. I’m sorry.” He said standing up.
“Vinnie! What are you talking about? We can make this work. I don’t understand why you’re making this a greater deal than it has to be! I can wait, I’ll always wait for you.” Y/N exclaimed, standing up as well.
And that’s what broke him. Once she said that last sentence, it was final. He wasn’t turning back.
Vinnie’s first part and might it be added the hardest part of his plan was done.
Next he would talk to Jack, his best friend.
“You know how we’ve been speaking about moving out of the Hype House for a while now?” Vinnie said, bringing up the topic to him.
“Yeah! You, me, and Y/N!” Jack says, smiling at the thought, not taking the conversation too seriously.
“Yeah well change of plans. Just you, me, Jett, and a couple other gu-” Vinnie blurted out.
“Okay holda holda holda up!” Jack said back tracing. “Are you being serious about moving out right now? And second of all why is Y/N out of the picture? I thought she wanted to have some privacy away from the ruckus of the Hype House. We all did,” Jack questioned.
“Y/N and I broke up,” Vinnie says so nonchalantly.
Jack seemed like he was about to have a panic attack.
“WHAT?!” He yelled out. “Why do you seem so off right now, so fine? Are you okay?” Jack asks quickly.
“Are we moving in together or what? I already looked into a couple places online.” Vinnie shot out.
And that’s how it all started. Vinnie was moving into a new house with Jack and a couple other of their friends.
Y/N and Vinnie were over.
Vinnie had a couple more days before traveling to Paris, and he wanted everything to be right in place. His plan was working perfectly.
His plan to leave Y/N.
He had started to pack everything up in his room at the Hype House. The news of Y/N and Vinnie’s split had spread throughout the house.
Vinnie was quiet and closed off, not speaking to anyone, steering away from everyone.
Y/N of course had tried talking to him. To try to fix it all. She knew Vinnie was making a mistake, a horrible one at that, but he would just turn a blind eye. Completely neglecting her.
Vinnie had passed by his room one last time, the night before his flight.
He was standing in the middle of his now empty room and Y/N had entered Vinnie’s room.
“Please don’t leave me,” Y/N shakily let out, whimpering as she wrapped herself around Vinnie’s toned waist. Her head resting on his firm chest.
She broke down in an instant, tears pouring down her face, shuddering tears.
“You’re the love of my life, Vin,” She whispered into his chest. “Please, don’t leave me.”
It was like an instinct because he didn’t even realize that his arms were wrapped around her back, hugging her.
He stood tall, emotionless.
“Don’t make this harder than it has to be,” He muttered, as he loosened his arms around her.
He pulled away from her, walking out of his old room, leaving Y/N behind as she cried her heart out.
As Vinnie left the house, Y/N had slid down the wall in the now unclaimed room, crying on the floor.
She cried for a good twenty minutes. As her tears ceased, she breathed out as she examined the room in which she fell in love.
The memories that were made there.
She looked at the wall across from her. That’s where Vinnie’s desk and PC used to be. Vinnie would stream there, play Valorant, and where he taught her how to play video games. He would always let her sit on his lap as he played. She would sometimes stand behind his gaming chair and massage his broad shoulders, watching him play.
It broke her heart thinking.
Her eyes roamed to the big empty space in between the walls. That’s where his bed used to lay. The bed in which they watched movies and stayed up all night talking. It’s where they cuddled and made love.
Silent tears streamed down her warm cheek.
She would no longer be able to play with his soft curly hair and hug him. No longer be able to kiss his red plump lips, the ones she loved.
Her eyes roamed the door, the walls, his bathroom sink, his shower, where his bed used to lay, his PC area, all places they’d had sex.
It was all over.
After a while, she finally got the courage to walk out of his room. She walked across the hall to her room and dove under her covers.
All she wanted to do was drown in her sleep, hoping it would be all over when she woke up, like a terrible nightmare.
She tried her hardest to not cry. She felt like all she’s been doing since Vinnie broke things off with her is cry.
Y/N just wanted to be as emotionless as Vinnie. She didn’t want to feel the pain anymore.
Crying made her feel everything.
She didn’t want to cry anymore, just sleep.
She tossed and turned, uncovered herself and covered herself with her sheets, and even tried different sleeping positions. Nothing managed to get her to a restful sleep.
After what seemed like an hour, she couldn’t take it anymore. She was frustrated with herself, she felt angry.
All Y/N wanted was for her and Vinnie to be okay.
She stood up from her bed, grabbed her sheets, cover, and a pillow.
She walked across the hall and walked into the empty room.
She went to the corner in which she was crying in earlier.
She took a deep breath and dropped everything she had in her hands onto the floor.
Y/N spread her sheets across the cold floor and placed the pillow at the top.
Y/N got ahold of her duvet and covered herself under it, laying on top of her sheets. Her head on top of her pillow.
She looked around the dark room as she laid on the floor. She somehow felt at ease in what used to be Vinnie’s room.
She didn’t feel as lonely there. The tears from earlier had dried up on her face, but new ones brimmed.
She felt comfortable in his room but it broke her heart, thinking of everything that had occurred.
Y/N started crying on the bed she had put together on the floor. The comforter that covered her almost swallowed her whole. Her eyes and top of her head were all that could be seen.
Her breathing was getting rough, her eyes were stinging, her face was wet.
Her heart stung, it physically hurt. It felt as if it was being clenched and pulled away from her. All she wanted was for this pain to be over.
Her eyes were getting to the point where they were heavily drooping.
Next thing you know she was passed out on her ex-boyfriend’s floor.
Somewhere along the walls of the Hype House was Jacob Day.
Jacob Day was one of the newer members of the Hype House. He started living with them a couple months ago. Around the time where Vinnie and Y/N had started to get insanely busy.
Jacob heard about the news. He honestly did not expect it. He never really got to know Y/N nor Vinnie because they were hardly ever at the house. But he would always hear their names from Mia and Thomas and of course he knew of them.
He had seen Vinnie leave earlier that day. It was getting late and he decided to check up on Y/N.
Jacob didn’t know her all that well but knew that breakups were hard, especially theirs, everyone thought they’d be together forever. They really did seem in love, he’d thought.
It sounded cheesy but if anyone would have to bet money on who would last, it would be on them.
Plus, whenever Y/N was at the house, she was always kind and welcoming to him. And, it seemed like she was finally going to be spending more time at the house. Why not make a friend?
He wanted to return the kind gesture.
Jacob walked towards her room, knocking softly at her door.
The door slightly opened due to his knocks, and he caught sight of an empty room. Y/N was nowhere to be seen.
He took a slight turn about to head back to his room, but as he turned around he noticed the door across from hers. Vinnie’s room.
He stepped closer to Vinnie’s door and quietly placed his hand on the door handle. He would check just in case Y/N was in there. He had a feeling she was.
He soundlessly opened the door and it was pitch black in there. If it wasn’t for the moonlight’s reflection hitting the ground floor, he wouldn’t have noticed her.
Jacob frowned at the sight. He almost felt his heart pang. He didn’t know the girl, but it was still upsetting to see.
He didn’t know what to do. He stood there for a couple seconds, at the entrance of the room.
He didn’t want to wake her because what would he even say?
Jacob got the idea of letting Thomas know. Y/N and him were close, he would know what to do.
He quietly closed the door not wanting to wake her.
As soon as Jacob let Thomas know the situation, Thomas immediately went to the site. Jacob followed behind him.
Thomas walked into Vinnie’s empty dark room to find his best friend on the ground, sleeping.
At the sight, Thomas let out a sad sigh. He knew Y/N was struggling with Vinnie leaving.
Thomas neared closer to Y/N’s laid body. He bent down beside her and caught the sight of her red nose and cheeks alongside her puffy eyes.
Thomas carried her up and out of the floor, her blanket still wrapped around her body. Thomas and Jacob walked out of Vinnie’s room as Y/N was peacefully sleeping in Thomas’ arms, shutting the door closed behind them.
Y/N shifted in her sleep, realizing she was no longer on the comfortable floor.
She hummed as she squinted her eyes at the huge headache she had.
Y/N opened her eyes and realized that Thomas’ had lifted her out of the floor and was currently walking.
“Tom? What are you doing?” She asked sleepily, looking up at him.
“I’m taking you to mine and Mia’s room. You can sleep there,” He said sweetly, smiling down at her.
Y/N looked up at the ceiling and caught the glimpse of Jacob walking behind them.
Her eyes widened and she felt her cheeks warming up. She didn’t know Jacob all that well, and felt embarrassed that he had to see her that way.
She just huddled up with her blanket and onto Thomas' chest. Thomas was like her older brother, they had lived with each other for almost two years. She didn’t feel like she had to hide with him.
As Thomas made it to his room, he laid Y/N carefully next to a fully awake Mia.
Jacob awkwardly stood by the door and decided to go back to his room.
“I’ll leave you guys to it. Good night.” He said, waving at them.
Thomas and Mia wished him a good night and Thomas mouthed a “thank you” to him.
Jacob nodded with a smile and before he left, Y/N whispered a “good night” to him too.
He smiled and walked out the door.
Y/N looked away from the door and faced Mia, who was laying beside her.
“Come ‘ere” Mia said, wrapping her arms around Y/N knowingly.
Y/N let herself be embraced by her sweet best friend.
“I just miss him,” Y/N let out as Mia tightly hugged her.
“I know, baby. I know,” Mia comforted as she rubbed her back.
“You can sleep here for as long as you want,” Mia whispered after Y/N dried the tears off her face.
“Thanks. Both of you. You guys are the best,” Y/N said, finally letting out a smile.
“Is that a smile I see?” Thomas teasingly said.
“Maybe.” Y/N smiled.
She slept comfortably that night, they all did.
Present time
*a month later*
Y/N’s POV:
It had been a rough past couple of weeks but with everyday that came along, life seemed easier.
I had my career to be thankful for. It’s the most successful I’ve ever been.
I’ve gotten to spend more time with my friends and have even made a new one.
Jacob Day.
He’s a nice person to have around after a break up. Jacob is sweet, thoughtful, and caring.
I will admit, Jacob is one of the only reasons I’m able to smile, after Vinnie.  
He got me out of the gutter and helped me see the light of day.
We’ve gotten to spend a lot of time together this past month.
Jacob knew that I was hurting and made it a mission to get me to feel better. Ever since that night where he found me sleeping in Vinnie’s room.
At first it started with Jacob coming to visit me in my room. We would spend time in my room. He’d let me vent to him about Vinnie. He genuinely cared about how I felt and how the breakup was affecting me. After a while our conversations no longer consisted of Vinnie. Our time progressed to us having movie nights in my room or playing card games.
After about a week he’d finally got me out of my room. He helped me get ready, when it was the last thing I wanted to do. Jacob would help me pick out outfits and would make me sit on my vanity to do my makeup or my hair. He would wait patiently for me to get ready.
Whether it was just to go out for a walk or to grab a coffee. He’d wait however long. Knowing I would feel great, afterwards.
He was the sweetest.
We even planned and executed a Disneyland trip after watching countless of Disney movies. Now that was one of the best days I’ve had this past month.
If it wasn’t for Jacob I’d still be crying in my bed over Vinnie.
I was currently all dolled up in the kitchen waiting for Jacob to come downstairs for a coffee outing.
Mia was cooking food, while Thomas and I were standing around the kitchen.
“You sure you don’t want some food, Y/N/N?” Mia asked sweetly.
I shook my head thankfully.
“No thank you. I would but Jacob and I are going to grab some coffee,” I smiled over at her. “It looks delicious though!”
Mia smiled back with a nod.
“You know, you have been drinking a lot of coffee lately!” Thomas acknowledged.
“I know!” I exclaimed. “It’s all because of Jacob. His addiction to coffee is wearing out on me,”
“Do you get a coffee everytime he gets one too?!” Thomas questions with a shocked expression.
“Maybe…” I say with a smirk.
Mia and Thomas let out gasps.
“He just gets really good coffee and they’re really yummy!” I explain with a smile.
“Well I’m glad you two are getting along,” Thomas smiles.
“Yeah,” I nod. “Me too.”
I look over at Mia and she has a teasing smile on her face.
“Alright, what are you going on about?! What’s the foolish smirk for?” I ask with a playful eyeroll.
“You two are just spending a lot of time together-” Mia starts to converse before Thomas chimes in. “Like everyday!” He pipes in.
“All I’m going to say is I’m certain with all the time you two have spent together, Jacob must have some feelings for you,” Mia implored. “And I’m not mad about it!”
I rolled my eyes with a smile.
“Well I made it crystal clear to Jacob from the beginning that I’m not looking for anything and he knows that,” I declared.
“Well why did you have to make it crystal clear?” Thomas asked with a knowing smirk.
I rolled my eyes with a small blush as Mia elbowed me.
“Because we’ve gotten close to kissing a couple times and I do not want to lead him on and make him think we’re an item when we’re not. Vinnie and I’s break up is still fresh and I can not possibly have it in me to date someone at the moment,” I confessed.
“At the moment,” Both Thomas and Mia repeated.
“You two are crazy,” I say, shaking my head, with a little laugh slipping through my lips.
“Y/N!” I heard Jacob call out as he walked down the staircase.
“I’m in the kitchen,” I yell out.
“Is that a smile I see?” Thomas says as he furrows his eyebrows at me.
“No.” I say sassily.
“Rightt..” Mia trails off.
Jacob walks into the kitchen, his eyes meeting mine instantly.
He smiles widely as he walks over to me.
“Hey Jacob!” Mia cheerfully lets out.
“Hey Mia,” Jacob replies, his voice naturally deep.
“What’s up Jacob,” Thomas greets Jacob.
“Morning man,” Jacob smiles as Thomas and him fist bump each other.
“You ready to go?” Jacob asks, looking down at me.
I nod with a smile as he takes a hold of my arm.
Jacob was about to lead us out when Mia holds us back with a question.
“Jacob doesn’t Y/N look phenomenal today. There’s just something about her,” Mia asks.
My eyes widened.
“Really? I think she looks beautiful everyday,” Jacob answers cluelessly.
I let out a breath of relief knowing he didn’t catch onto Mia’s game. But, then I feel warm inside as I realize what he said.
“Aww! Thanks J!” I smile, embracing him in a hug.
Jacob lets out a chuckle holding me in his arms.
“Come on, let's go,” He says as we let go of our hug.
We walk towards the garage and he opens the passenger door of his car for me. I hop into his Corvette and fasten my seatbelt as he closes the door behind me. He hops into the driver’s seat turning the engine on.
“I was thinking we could go for brunch instead of just coffee, I’m getting hungry. How does that sound?” Jacob suggests.
“That sounds perfect!” I smile.

Vinnie’s POV:
Present time
I’m finally laying in my bed. Finally able to breath and relax.
But it’s unsettling. I feel out of my skin.
I’m no longer filled up with work, no longer able to avoid my problems. No longer able to ignore the thoughts of Y/N.
Now that I’m home, in California, after a whole month.
I wish it could all be a lie. Was I that stupid to let Y/N go?
I had been too busy in Paris with Ami doing press and photoshoots to even let my heart feel anything.
Now that I’m all alone, locked up in my room, I don’t know how to feel or what to do without her.
I haven’t even let myself feel the truth.
In my head, Y/N is still my girlfriend. We’re still together in my mind and heart.
I haven’t acknowledged the truth.
This last week, I had agreed and accepted my invitation to go to Seoul for Fashion Week. My heart had hoped that Y/N was going to be there too, but I never saw her. I don’t even think she attended, which caught me by surprise.
I was finally back home. If I could even call this new house a home. No one knew I was back in California, only Jack and Jett. According to the internet I’m still in Seoul.
Laying in this dark room, everything that I’ve been ignoring and avoiding has come to bite me in the ass.
The silence and emptiness is itching at me.
My mind can’t stop wandering to her.
What is she doing right now? Is she thinking of me too?
My mind wandered to my last night in California before going to Paris.
I sniffled, remembering Y/N crying in my chest, hugging me.
The way I just left her crying. I was such a jerk. Such a fucking asshole.
But I was hurting just as much as her. But we both wouldn’t have been in that predicament if I wouldn’t have been such a bitch and waited a month.
We both still could’ve been together. I know it for a fact. I would be laying with her, cuddling her right now, probably having the best night of my life with her if I would’ve just accepted that being in a long distance relationship wouldn’t be that bad. It would be worth it at this exact moment in time.
I stood up angrily out of my bed, headed straight for the wall, fist landing into the wall.
I felt my blood rushing to my fist and I let out a huff.
Nothing I put myself through, including causing myself pain, hurts more than what I’m feeling right now.
I let out a frustrated yell, landing on the floor. My legs pressed against my chest.
I pulled out my phone from my pocket and did something I haven’t done this past month.
I opened up Y/N’s instagram page. I clicked on her most recent photo on her feed and my heart felt like it was being ripped out of my chest.
She looked so beautiful. She was smiling brightly with her perfect white teeth. Her hair falled over her shoulder.
All the tears that have been stored in, fell right then and there.
My loud crying filled the room.
My cheeks were all wet as I swiped to her next photo.
Tumblr media
She looked so elegant and precious. I remember I was always the one who took photos of her for Instagram. I wonder who’s taking them for her now?
Tumblr media
A smile grew on my face, watching her smile through my phone screen. I’m glad she’s able to move on and carry on with her day, with a smile. She deserves that and the whole world. I deserve to be the one that’s crying after a month of our breakup.
My heart breaks knowing I’m not the cause of that smile, not anymore.
Tumblr media
And she’s working on herself. God, I’m proud of her. Her eyes are captivating in the first photo.
I get a flashback of her crying with her red puffy eyes. But she looks happy now.
Tumblr media
“Me too baby. Me too.” I let out.
I then scroll to another photo and what I see stabs me in the heart.
It’s a photo of a tall dark haired guy, standing next to my Y/N. They’re both smiling happily in front of the Disneyland castle.
I instantly felt the pain.
She was happy with someone else and it’s all my fault.
It was Jacob, one of the other guys from the Hype House.
Tumblr media
Y/N didn’t even know this guy but I guess she does now. She was all alone after I left, but I’m sure that’s how she got to know Jacob. Knowing that they live together is worse.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I turned off my phone and threw it across the room.
I started crying into my lap.
I had lost the girl of my dreams. All because I let the negativity get into my head.
We could’ve waited a month. She told me she’d always wait for me. I thought I was doing her a favor, us a favor.
But I know she would’ve been sad and missing me once I was in Paris, if I hadn’t broken up with her. I couldn’t put her through that pain again. We had already been distant with the countless fashion weeks we attended. Paris was just the cherry on the top.
But now look at what I've done.
As I finally look at her page, for the first time since we’ve broken up I see this.
I’m not even mad at her. She deserves to be happy. I’m just angry at myself, knowing that, that would’ve never happened if I would’ve just stayed with her. If I would’ve just made it work. We both would’ve worked long distance. She knew it and now I know it. But it’s too late now.
I stand up from the ground, grab my phone and lay in bed.
I open up Tiktok and go onto Jacob’s page. I know it’s going to hurt, but I need to know more about him. I need to see what Y/N sees in him.
I go onto his page and click on a random video.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRV33M2J/
Great, of course the first video I see of him is a thirst trap. Showing off his six-pack that is seeping through his shirt and his foolish little smile at the end.
I scroll onto another one of his tiktok’s.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRV3psAE/
Oh, wonderful, now I actually get to see him shirtless. Just great.
Is this who Y/N is with now? I wonder if they’re an item?
God, I hope not.
I quickly went from annoyed and angry to hurt again.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRV3v9ka/
This tiktok, knowing that Y/N was with him. Making it worse, is that they were at Disneyland.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRV3XNSb/
Okay, now this one hurts.
I remember when Y/N, Thomas, Mia, and I were the ones who would go out. Now it’s them, with Jacob, not me.
I felt a sense of betrayal from Thomas and Mia, they were my friends too and they know how I feel about Y/N.
Thomas knew that one day I would marry Y/N, he knew that. How could he be out and about with Y/N and some other guy.
I watched the tiktok again, realizing that they had their Corvettes. Knowing damn well that each car fits two people.
Y/N and Jacob must’ve been riding together and I hated knowing that.
It tore me apart thinking of Y/N in a fast car, with another guy.
It used to be me, driving around with her. In my car. No one else’s. Car rides are always intimate.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRgya8PJ/
Okay, I’ve gotten to the tiktoks that they’ve made together.
It broke my heart. Seeing them, seeing her, happy.
Not that I didn’t want her to be happy, but because it was with him and not with me.
But I’m to blame, which angers me more.
But their matching outfits and the way they danced so happily, with smiles on their faces.
It seems like he makes her happy. He seems happy too.
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRgyVJCc/
They’ve all hurt me. But this tiktok in particular hurt me the most.
The way Thomas was instigating behind the camera. Y/N and Jacob sitting next to each other at the movie theater.
Both Y/N and Jacob being shy to the idea of the middle compartment between their seats being able to move up, allowing an open space between them.
Jacob’s voice low and surprised at the realization. “Woah” he says and glances at Y/N as he lifts up the compartment.  
“Dude, it's your chance.” Thomas insists.
Y/N blushing and looking away at the comment.
Maybe I’m looking too much into it. But it’s evident that there’s something between them.
But, the way Y/N giggles and blushes as she looks at Jacob, it brings tears to my eyes. I sniff as I rewatch the video.
I shut my phone off not being able to put myself through watching more of their tiktoks.
I shut my eyes, I feel the pain of my reddened eyes as they close. I grab a pillow and stuff it onto my face.
I grunt out and throw the pillow across my bed, landing on the floor.
I go to grab it, only to let out the whimpers and cries I’ve been holding in.
I lay on the pillow and let it all out, once again.
I just want all of this pain to go away.
My loud cries were heard all around my room.
After what felt like hours of crying in bed, I grabbed my phone, opened up iMessages and opened up her contact.
I reluctantly started typing a text.
‘Hey.”
But then quickly deleted it, before I started typing again.
“I’m finally back in LA”
No. I shake my head before deleting it again.
“hey, it’s been a while.”
“do you wanna maybe meet up?”
I let out a grunt before shutting off my phone. I didn’t have the guts to even send her those messages. I guess it’s better if I don’t, she’s happy without me. I don’t want to the reason to ruin that for her. I’ve done enough harm.
But little did Vinnie know that with a slip of his finger, he sent it. Unknowingly.
Y/N’s POV:
I had just gotten home after having brunch with Jacob.
I was slurping into a boba drink, sitting on an oversized bean bag chair in the living room, when my phone went off two times.
“Hmm,” I hummed to myself as I grabbed my phone.
My heart instantly fell as I saw Vinnie’s contact appear on my lockscreen with the messages reading:
“hey, it’s been a while.”
“do you wanna maybe meet up?”
Vinnie’s contact still had a red heart beside it from when we were together.
I didn’t even realize my eyes were watery until my reflection appeared on the black screen my phone showcased once the lock screen turned off.
I wiped my tears away.
Yeah, I’ve been feeling happy and having a fun time. But Vinnie was always in my heart. The pain never went away, it was always there. It wasn’t as grave anymore, but it remained punctured in my heart.
My breath shuddered, I didn’t even know what to do.
He wanted to meet up? I didn’t even know he was back in California. I thought he would still be in Seoul for fashion week.
I got invited to attend but I wanted to keep myself as far away from Vinnie as possible. I wouldn’t be able to adverse myself into work knowing that at any given moment I would bump into Vinnie or catch a glimpse of him. I couldn’t possibly bear to see him.
I declined their offer.
It’s been a month. I’m sure he’s done with Ami Paris.
So he’s back.
My heart swelled at the fact. My heart tingled, my stomach filled with butterflies. 
But the tears streamed down my face knowing we’re not together. He broke me in half, and hurt me like no other. But, I was happy knowing he’s back. Vinnie will always hold a special place in my heart.
I missed him. More than anything. I sniffled, letting my head fall down. I wiped my tears away not wanting anyone to see.
Jacob, Mia, or Thomas could walk past any second and I wouldn’t know how to explain the tears or my sudden sadness.
I stand up from the bean bag chair and head up the stairs to my room.
As I make it to my room, I lock it behind me and sit at the edge of my bed. Staring profusely at the message.
I read them over, countless times. I don’t even know what to do or what to reply. I do want to reply, but how?
He broke my heart, left me. It would be pathetic of me to run back to him once he’s now available.
But I love him.
The tears now willingly and slowly streamed down my cheeks.
Oh, Vinnie.
My fingers grazed over the keyboard that was shown through the screen.
Mindlessly they started typing.
Hey.
I don’t send it yet, thinking of how I would even respond to his second text.
I thought about meeting up with him. Seeing his beautiful light brown eyes. His magnificent hair, his delightful smile.
His enticing lips.
God, but why did he have to break up with me?
This past month, all I’ve been doing is question his poor actions that not only affected him, but me.
How could he be so careless? To my feelings, to my emotions. I loved him. I still love him. But he ruined that.
Why did he give up on us?
I sniffle at the thought.
Sure, why not.
I type and send both messages.
What else do I have to lose?
I turned off my phone once both messages appeared as blue bubbles.
My heart is racing and my hands are sweaty.
I threw my phone onto the mattress and sat there in thought.
My thoughts were interrupted shortly after by my phone going off.
My eyes widened. That quick?
I quickly grab my phone and see Vinnie’s contact on my lockscreen.
The message reading:
Here’s my address
I’m free the rest of the day
I respond:
be there in an hour.
Okay, now I’m nervous.
I could always cancel?
Seeing him again is going to be overwhelming. I could already feel it.
But if I text him, telling him I’m not going to go anymore. I’d regret it.
The only option left now is meeting up with him.
I let out a sigh and stood up from my bed.
Looking into the mirror, I retouch my smeared makeup and choose a different outfit.
I’m going to see Vinnie again after everything that went down. I have to dress for the occasion.
I look through my closet. All I know is that I have to choose an outfit that hugs all the right parts of my body. Screaming and showing him what he decided to leave; unattended and unclaimed.
I wore a white, skin tight cropped tank top that cut low into my breasts. Lace filled the rims of the tank top. Paired with light washed blue denim pants that hugged every angle perfectly.
I smiled at myself at my reflection through the mirror.
Tumblr media
I grabbed my car keys off my desk, walked out my room, down the stairs and out to my car.
I didn’t want anyone to question where I was going so I left without notice.
I drove down the hill, plugged in the address to my phone leading the way to Vinnie’s new home.
It was thirty minutes away.
Vinnie’s POV:
I’m FREAKING out.
I am in no way shape or form prepared to see Y/N.
How in the world could I be such a dumbass? How did those messages even manage to be sent?
But what’s done is done.
Y/N said she was going to be here in an hour. That was 40 minutes ago.
I'm fresh out of the shower. I’ve sprayed on cologne but I might’ve put too much on, so now I’m a nervous wreck. I don’t want to smell like I’ve dumped the whole bottle on myself.
I feel like pulling my hair out.
I took a couple deep breaths before sitting down on the couch.
I’m wearing a white fitted t-shirt with khaki cargo pants. Nothing too crazy.
I fiddle with my rings distracting myself from my crazed thoughts.
What are we even going to talk about? I didn’t intend for this meet up and now I’m stuck with it.
Not that I don’t want to see her because God knows I do, just not under these circumstances.
She’ll be expecting a reason for coming over and I have none.
What have I gotten myself into?
How did those damn messages get sent?
Y/N’s POV:
I’m pulling up to his driveway and I park by his entrance.
So this is his new home?
It’s on a private road, nothing extreme like the Hype House but secluded.
I sigh before exiting my car. I nervously walk to the front door.
Should I have texted him that I’m here? Maybe knocking at the door or ringing the doorbell is overstepping a boundary.
But, I’m already at the door, there’s no point in going back.
I knock and immediately put my hand back down.
I feel like I just ran a marathon because I suddenly feel warm and my heart’s beating a hundred beats per second.
It feels like an eternity before the door opens, revealing a Vincent Cole Hacker. Right in front of me, in the flesh.
I feel my heart instantly break again as my eyes meet with his honey ones. Just seeing him hurts. I don’t know if I should turn around and leave, crying in my car seems like a perfect idea right now.
We both stand awkwardly at the door. Neither he nor I initiates a conversation or a gesture.
I break eye contact and my eyes are roaming anywhere but his. I instantly feel small and regret coming in the first place.
I could feel Vinnie’s eyes no longer on mine, but on my body. His eyes were trailing my body, I felt them like lasers against my now vulnerable skin.
I get the courage to look back into his eyes and he meets with mine again.
He clears his throat and speaks up.
“Y/N, hey. Uh- come in.” He says deeply. I could tell he was nervous.
I sent him a forced smile and walked in.
As I set foot into his house he closed the door behind us.
My eyes roam the new surroundings. It’s nice and spacious here.
As I’m taking it all in he invites me to the kitchen.
I follow behind him as he leads me to a seat in his kitchen island.
“Want a water?” He asks me delicately. Almost as if he spoke too loud we’d both wake up from this dream or somehow ruin this bizarre moment.
I hum a response along with a nod.
He smiles a small smile, before turning away from me, to grab a bottle from the refrigerator. His back facing me.
His small smile brings heat into my cheeks for a small moment, my tummy fills with a few butterflies.
I hate how with just the smallest smile, he can send my body into abyss.
He turns back around and hands me the bottle.
I open it because suddenly I’m thirsty.
I gulp down a couple sips. His eyes darted to the bottle against my lips, to my jawline, down to my neck and chest.
I place the bottle down on the counter once I’m done, his eyes never leaving me.
I clear my throat quietly to gain his attention back.
His eyes widened as he realized I caught him checking me out. His cheeks turn deep red.
Vinnie’s mouth opens to apologize or throw me a lame excuse to hide the fact that he was looking at the most sacred parts of my body.
“I know it must be hard,” I let out, our eyes meeting once again.
“Yeah…” He trails out, his hand meeting the back of his head, scratching his curls nervously. “Sorry about that.”
I don’t utter a response back
He’s standing awkwardly inbetween the fridge and the kitchen island.
“You know you can sit, right? It’s your house.” I say, a small smile forming on my face.
A chuckle leaving my lips, he seems to lighten up a bit.
“Right,” He says cutely, as he takes a seat adjacent to me. Gosh, I forgot how darn adorable he was when he was nervous.
I smile, a tint of pink on my face.
“So, how’s everything?” He says once he got comfortable in his seat.
The air in the room feels a tad bit more relaxed and less awkward now.
I take a couple seconds to respond to his question.
“It’s been good,” I say with a trail in my voice, almost like I’m convincing myself it’s been good.
“Yeah?” He questions with a furrow in his brow. His voice soft and caring.
“I mean what else could I say?” I respond with a shrug, breaking eye contact as I look anywhere but him. I felt my throat clenching and tightening, along with my sudden pained heart.
He let out a sigh. “Yeah.” He says like he understands what I mean. I look back over to him.
He’s looking down at the counter and I let out a silent sigh myself.
“What about you? How was Ami Paris?” I ask, slightly changing the forsaken conversation, genuinely interested in the new topic.
I would’ve expected him to look back up but instead he slouches even more, if that was even possible.
I guess the words ‘Ami Paris’ brings back memories. It sure does to me. I know it does for him.
After a couple of quiet moments he looks back up and the way his saddened eyes bore into mine, it almost brings me to tears. But I hold them back.
“It’s over, finally.” He whispers the last part to himself, but I hear it plain as day.
“Great opportunity, though. I’m sure,” I say, trying to lighten up the mood.
He looks up with a nod.
“Yeah,” He says with pressed lips. He’s holding back his words, I know he is.
He clears his throat.
“So how long have you been back?” I questioned.
His eyes met mine, right as my voice met his ears.
“I got back late last night. Today’s my first official day back,” He informs.
I nod my head, listening to his sweet voice and the words that slip through his lips.
“I just had to leave Seoul,” He huffed, almost sounding distressed. His hand met with the roots of his hair, slipping through.
“It ended already, if I’m correct?” I questioned, referring to the fashion show.
He hums, nodding his head.
“Yeah. I was invited to a couple after party events. But, I just needed to come back home, though,” He sighed softly.
I nodded.
I could tell it was a sour subject for him and I didn’t want to press him.
The kitchen became heavy, again.
It was quiet. Not a comfortable silence, but an awkward one.
Both of his arms were holding his head. He was facing down into the marbled island.
My eyes met him. His broad shoulders and biceps were in plain sight. The tattoos on his arms, exposed, bringing back memories. Memories in which my fingers have traced those same tattoos thousands of times. Tattoos that were practically mine at the time. I still feel a deep connection to them.
I didn’t even realize the sigh that escaped my lips.
The sigh that slipped through my lips made him look up at me.
He sent me a sympathetic smile. Almost as if he knew exactly how I felt.
“It’s been a while, right?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
I only nod.
His jaw was clenched and he rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek.
If it wasn’t for the wall that barricaded my emotions and heart, I would’ve straddled him then and there. Kissing him endlessly. The sight of his tight jaw, in a perfect angle, made me feel indescribable feelings.
But the Y/N that would do that is gone. The Y/N that was Vinnie’s girl is no longer in existence. I’m no longer his girlfriend. It’s not my place to kiss him, even though I’m dying to.
At the same time though, it hurts me. The thoughts of kissing him and straddling him right here in his kitchen sends my heart into ache.
Vinnie hurt me. I loved him, with my life and he took that for granted. I wasn’t going to fall at his feet just because I love him.
His choice to leave me has consequences.
He locked his eyes with mine. I stared back at him, not saying a word.
At this point, I just wanted to go back home and fall under my blankets.
What was the point of being here if we were going to sit in awkward silence?
Right as I was going to leave this awkward situation he spoke up.
“I’m really sorry,” He croaked out, voice cracking.
He looked at me, waiting for a response, a reaction.
All he got from me was a deadpan stare.
His eyes pleaded for a response, my heart crinkled.
“I don’t know what you want me to say Vinnie,” I respond, not meaning for it to come out as harsh as it did. But it did.
“I-II know,” He quickly retorted. “A-and you don't have to. I screwed up. Big time. I’m such an idiot. A big fucking idiot. And you don’t deserve this. I’m lucky enough that you came and that you’re sitting here, listening to my damn excuses.” He rambled on, as I sat listening.
Still with a neutral face, but on the inside I’m confused as to how to feel.
I already knew the second he broke things off that he was making a mistake and I was going to rub it in. I had to be a bit selfish and he couldn’t be upset about it.
“But yet you still decided to go on with the breakup. How is your smart decision going now?” I let out.
I was being harsh, I know. But he broke me into a million pieces and I had to put them all back together. And I’m barely starting to get back on with my life but he had to barge back in.
“You were right,” He whispered, breaking our eye contact. Coward.
“Yeah, well, it’s too late for that now,” I stated, softly but definitively.
I pushed the chair back and as I was about to stand up to leave, he interrupted speaking pleadingly, begging.
“Please, Y/N!” He stood up, out of his seat. My eyes met his figure.
His eyes were glossy, his cheeks and ears a pomegranate red.
My heart was met with a pang. All I wanted to do was run away. Being here was too much, it’s overwhelming.
“I think meeting up was too soon. The breakup is still fresh and clearly we’re both not over it. I know you’re hurting Vinnie but remember this was your idea. I was there too, right where you are now. It’ll get better though. Trust me, you just have to have the right people supporting and surrounding you,” I say, just wanting to get the hell out of there.  
I didn’t even look back at him as I walked away, to see how my words affected him. I just wanted to leave this whole thing.
As I was bare inches away from exiting the kitchen, the same way I entered, Vinnie caught my attention again.
I stopped midway as the words met my ears.
“What, like how you have Jacob?” His words were filled with anger. The first harsh words he’s sent me today.
I scoffed as I turned back to face him.
He was still standing in the spot where he was on the verge of tears. That Vinnie is gone.
The Vinnie I was facing now, was fuming.
“As a matter of fact, yes Vinnie! Jacob would be a prime example,” I screamed out.
He just stood there, death glaring. He stood there silently, the steam fuming out of his ears was almost evident.  
All I could do was roll my eyes and start walking away again. My back facing him.
I was over it already.
Of course, as I was about to exit Vinnie shot me another comment.
“Yeah, go run back to Jacob!” He rudely yelled out.
I turned around quickly.
“At least I have someone to run to!” I screamed out.
He let out a loud grunt, not expecting my response. His fists met with the marbled stone. He let out a hefty yell, after punching the kitchen island.
I saw the red bruised knuckles he carried around, they were fresh but not seconds fresh.
“Go punch some more walls, or whatever you’ve been up to,” I angrily blurt out.
I let out an upsetting huff and turned to walk away this time.
I was already walking out the living room, when I heard him quickly trying to catch up to me.
“Just leave me alone, Vinnie. This was a mistake. Coming here was a mistake. I thought meeting up might somehow make things better, but I was clearly wrong.” I say, meeting with his soft brown eyes again.
“No, Y/N, I’m sorry. “ He tried apologizing.
“No, don’t fucking apologize! I’m tired of your apologies and dumbass excuses. Just admit it, you were a little bitch. A fucking coward, couldn’t even be a man and work for our love. I gave you my all and you couldn’t even wait. What four weeks? Me and you could’ve been having the time of our lives right now in Seoul. God, I’m glad we broke up. This just showed me that I don’t want someone like you in my life. Why would I want a boyfriend who can’t even love me enough to fight for us. It was great, what we had Vinnie, but it’s over.” I expressed turning around.  Goodbye Vin-” I was saying mid-turn trying to walk towards the front door, until I was stopped from continuing.
Vinnie had grabbed ahold of my hand, pulled me towards him and pressed his lips onto mine. It all happened so fast, I didn’t capture what just occurred until my lips were on his.
He had smashed his lips onto mine, it was full of fierce and passionate energy. I was taken aback. I stood still, my lips were motionless against his. I was in shock but the arm he had tightly wrapped around my exposed back and the hand that was softly yet firmly set on my cheek brought me back to life.
My lips fought back against his, ferociously. Our lips were at battle, our breathing was trying to catch up to us.
My arms quickly wrapped around his neck, pulling him down to me, despite my feet tippy toeing to reach his tall figure.
He lifted me off the floor and I wrapped my legs around his waist. The palm of his hands were pressed against my ass. I could feel his long fingers pressed against my skin through my denim.
As our swollen lips were reuniting, he gestured my ass against his firm waist causing me to let out a whimper.
The sudden friction against my core caused warmness to travel all across my body.
Vinnie’s eyes shot open due to the breathy moan I let out, disconnecting our kiss, I could feel his eyes on my visage.
My eyes were screwed shut and layed my face on his shoulder. I bucked my hips into his waist in hopes of feeling that same tingly feeling he caused me. I did it again but the sensation did not meet the one that Vinnie caused.
I let out a deep breath in defeat. But my heart accelerated when I felt Vinnie’s hand rocking me into him. I let out a sigh as my heat pressed against his toned skin that could be felt through his tight shirt. His hands gripped my ass and at the angle that he had me in and with every rock towards him, my clit was being pressed into the denim of my jeans and the roughness of his skin.
I let out whimpers and I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead.
Third Person POV:
Vinnie was forming hard on, caused by his doing. Y/N was penetrating herself against him and he was helping her.
His eyes met her. She had her head rested on his shoulder and her legs wrapped around his body.
Vinnie lowered his face and pressed his lips on her soft skin. Her breasts look divine in the small tank top she wore. Vinnie came into contact with the lace that accentuated her boobs.
Y/N could feel Vinnie’s lips pressed against her exposed boobs.
She couldn’t believe what was happening but the ever-amazing feeling that she was feeling on her clit with every swift moment, caused her not to care.
All the tension she’s had for the past month was being soothed against her pants.
Vinnie’s thumb swept against her nipple and Y/N felt a ray of lightning hit her core.
Vinnie could feel her nipple hardening at his touch. He proceeded to do the same with the other nub.
As he toyed with Y/N’s breasts he lowered her down onto his hard dick and with the impact of both of their cores meeting they both let out groans.
Y/N’s POV:
As I felt Vinnie’s hard dick against my vagina’s lips, an even more explicit feeling coursed through my veins. I wanted and needed more of him.
“Vinnie,” I let out softly as I continued to rock myself against his bricked dick.
“We’ll talk about it later.” He whispered in response.
And with that I was content with what was happening.
I nodded and pressed my lips against his cheek.
I looked behind Vinnie and saw the stairs that I presume leads to his room.
And for the first time since our sexual encounter our eyes met. It felt like we were in a trance.
I lifted my head towards the stairs, non-verbally telling him to take us to his room.
He smiled and turned his body towards the stairs. Not letting go of me as he walked up them.
His hands stayed on my ass, pressed firmly on it as I started sucking on the soft skin of his neck.  
I aimed for his soft spot that I’ve grown to memorize for moments like these.
“Oh fuck.” Vinnie slipped out.
I smiled as I heard his little moan knowing I was the one causing his pleasure.  
We finally made it to a large room, instantly recognizing the familiar bed frame.
Vinnie dropped me onto the comfy mattress, I layed there sprawled on his bed as he eyes me from above.
Our eyes interlocked as I heavily breathed on his bed, feeling the look in his eye.
None of us make a sound, only admiring one another.
He sank down towards me, his hand on either side of my body. He gently grabbed ahold of me, lifting me up as he laid on the bed. Placing me on top of him.
It was a gentle and sweet gesture but as our eyes met I knew he was ready to commence.
I was straddling his laid body. Both of our heats aligned to one another.
His hands are on both sides of my hips, ready to start rocking me against his hard member. I placed my hands on his lower abdomen, steadying myself.
We both gave each other little nods before we continued.
I rocked forward in sync with Vinnie’s arms pulling me towards him, against his hard dick.
As I met his hardness, I felt myself dampen further into my panties.
I closed my eyes right before rolling them. I’ve definitely missed my clit on the verge of climaxing. And not just one driven by me, but one with the help of a male. Apparently that male was destined to be with Vinnie, again.
I fluttered my eyes open to the sound of Vinnie’s grunt.
His face is tight and his brows are furrowed. He’s beautiful.
Vinnie fastened our rocking and I could feel the bundle of nerves that consists of my clit feeling immense pleasure with each second that was met with the bulge in his pants. With this rhythm I’d be cumming in no time.
“Vinnie. I’m going to cum soon,” I whispered, before closing my eyes forcing myself deeper into the curve in his pants.
“Oh fuck, me too.” He let out a gasp, feeling me forcing myself lower onto his hard on.  
“I need to take my fucking jeans off,” I desperately say.
I lift myself up slightly from Vinnie's lap, unbuttoning my jeans and tearing them apart.
As soon as I was left in my panties, Vinnie stripped from his pants.
I ripped my tank off and Vinnie was on the verge of taking his t-shirt off.
“Can’t even wait for me?” Vinnie smirked as I continued dry humping him.
His shirt was way over his head when his hands gripped my lower waist.
He readjusted himself up and cupped one of my breasts through the padding of my bra.
He gave it a rough squeeze. “I love your boobs!”
I smirked and his eyes trailed to my other breast.
“Well, why have them covered?” I beam as I smirk, unclasping my bra, exposing my breasts.
I lean forward towards his face and he happily gapes his mouth open, taking one of my breasts into his mouth.
His tongue swirls around my nipple and my hips involuntarily shake due to the sudden pleasure that rushes to my clit.  
My breath hitches as Vinnie sucks my nipple causing me to grab ahold of his torso.
He bucks his hips up causing the bundle of nerves in between my legs to meet with his hard dick. I let out a loud vocal moan.
I seep my underwear to the side, exposing my bare clit, allowing it to meet the clothed rockness of Vinnie’s dick.
I continue moving forward, in a quicker state, my bare clit meeting Vinnie hardness.
“Oh, oh, fuck.” I loudly moan out. My heart is accelerating and as I pant out for air.
I could feel my nipples hardening to the new amount of pleasure seeping through me.
“God, Vinnie. This feels too good. Please keep going,” I plead.
Vinnie pinches the unattended nipple and twists it, tightening it in between his thumb and index finger. His mouth filled with my other tit.
His free hand met with my bare skin in between my legs.
“You’re so wet,” He groans.
His middle finger and index finger start to massage my clit.
“O-oh, Vinnie.” I instantly cried out, feeling spinny.
I shut my eyes as his fingers swirled in slow and steady circular motions, hitting that one particular sensitive spot each time.
I shuddered, my toes curling. As much as Vinnie’s fingers brought me to glory I ached for his dick inside of me. But, Vinnie’s fingers just made me want to come undone.
I’m a shaking mess and he roughly fastens the swift movements against my clit. My eyes met his determined face.
His brows knitted together as he held in his breath. My eyes trailed to his arm that met the lips in between my legs.
“Vinnie, please.” I begged as my fingers grazed into his briefs.
He was making me a mess. God, how could I have forgotten how good he was at sex and at making me feel so fucking good.
I looked up and met his honey colored eyes as I was on the verge of cumming right into his pretty hands.
He had a proud smile and I just let out a small laugh, playfully rolling my eyes.
Vinnie's hands left my core and I pouted.
He looked up at me and let out a laugh.
“Don’t worry I’ll have you cumming in no time. I know you were so close and you’re probably upset at me for stopping. But I promise it’ll be worth it.” He smiled, leaning up to me.
His mouth nearing my ear, whispering. “I’ll be slamming into you so right that you won’t be able to stop yourself from cumming. I want to see you shaking out of control, grabbing hold of me because it’s too much for you to handle. It’s going to be so fucking overwhelming but you’ll be begging me to not stop. I promise.”
His voice sent tingles and shivers down my neck, covering my whole body.
A small whimper escaped my lips as I nodded.
I wanted to be fucked by Vinnie, so hard that I won’t even remember where I am. The only thing I’d feel is my body combusting and coming undone.
I lifted my body up allowing myself to slip his underwear off.
Vinnie managed to kick them off. Both of us are now naked on his bed.
So, this is really happening?
Vinnie’s dick springing up after being released from his underwear. The sight of his cock caused my brain to shut down.
Without a thought, my hand slightly inched towards his member. For a second, I held back. My heartbroken state came back for a second but as quickly as it came it went away.
My hands gently met his precious penis. Such a pretty figure.
I swear if it wasn’t for Vinnie being an ass my lips and mouth would’ve been obliterating his dick right now.
But for now my hands will have to do.
The tip of my finger met the head, precum lubricating it.
A sigh was heard, almost sounding like a wince escaping Vinnie's lips.
I gently grazed my hand down his member. Not exactly giving him a handjob. More of showing my infatuation for it.
I bent down slowly, placing my lips on the sensitive tip of his penis.
Vinnie was muttering silent profanities, I could tell he was trying his hardest not to buck his hips up. He wanted my lips wrapped around his member, badly.
But, if anyone was going to pleasure someone, it was going to be him pleasuring me.
I slightly gripped his dick and pressed it against the bundle of nerves aching for him.
I maneuvered the head of his penis up and down my lips, meeting my clit every time his head went up my lips.
I shivered and croaked out a moan due to the touch of his dick.
Vinnie hissed at the grip my hand has on his penis.
His hands roamed up my bare stomach. His touch against my skin sent shivers up and down my body.
I kept steady movements and started rocking my hips to insync with the touch of Vinnie’s dick hitting against my clit.
Stars appeared in my head with each hard impact that met on my clit.
I gaped out for air. My hips abruptly lifted away from his member due to the immense amount of pleasure coursing through my body. Vinnie quickly set his hands firmly on my hips, keeping me set on top of him. Knowing damn well that I was close to cumming soon.
I lifted myself up and aligned Vinnie’s dick to my entrance and slowly lowered myself onto him.
Our breaths hitched. My eyes fluttered closed, I placed my hands on his lower abs for support.
I could feel the hardness of his penis seeping through me. The head of his dick was completely in me, I could feel my walls clenching around Vinnie, causing him to let out a pleased moan.
I continued lowering myself, the feeling of fulfillment seeping through my blood.
I let out small whimpers as I adjusted to his full length.
He was balls deep in when he let out a grunt. My pussy was clenching his hard cock. It felt amazing. So full and great in me.  
“You’re so fucking tight…” He grumbled out, head leaning back into his pillow, eyes completely shut as he composed himself.
As he laid back, I lowered my face to place small kisses on his abs.
As I placed kisses on him, he started playing with my hair.
I looked up at him from his stomach and he gave me a little nod.
I sat back up and lifted myself up and quickly lowered myself down, our skin slapping against each other.
I could feel every single detail and texture of him inside of me. Each vein prominently intensifies the urge to break loose with him in me.
I lifted myself back up again and started quickening my pace.
Jamming him into me with each time I slapped my body down.
“Mhmm, fuck.” I whimpered out.
My ass hits against his thighs, creating slapping noises that echoed throughout the whole room.
Vinnie’s grunts and my whimpers that were growing louder by the second, it  could fill the whole house.
From down below, Vinnie has a perfect view of my boobs swinging up and down my body. His hands gripping them.
I leaned towards him, giving my lower body a better angle to slam down into his dick.
“Yeah, fuck, like that.” Vinnie deeply expressed.
His hands now trailing down my back, meeting at my ass, gripping it. He motioned my thrusts into him and he bucked his hips up deeping his dick inside of me.
I moaned loudly as his dick hit my g-spot.
I looked up to meet Vinnie’s eyes and as our eyes met as he switched our positions.
I was now under him and he laid closely on top of me.
I could feel his breath on my face and our eyes were entranced to one another.
My heart fluttered from the sudden contact, I looked down at his lips and he suddenly bent down to kiss me.
I didn’t retract from the kiss. I did the total opposite. My soft lips rekindled with his. His plump lips meet my deep red swollen ones. .
We were deep into our kiss, when suddenly I felt him stroke fiercely into me and I let out a loud moan.
My lips still against him, as I yelled out.
My hands wrapped around his neck, as my breath got knocked out of my lungs.
I spread my legs open to allow him to thrust into me.
With my legs wide open for him, he commenced his deep hard-driven thrusts into me.
He slammed into me with no regard or remorse.
I looked up at him and he was deeply concentrated and focused on his fierce thrusts.
His dick was sliding in and out of me with so much force that I couldn’t handle it. But, it felt amazing. I wouldn’t dare stop him.
My moans were no longer whimpers, they were full of lengthy loud ones.
He kept on slamming into me. His full dick meeting my insides with each deep thrust.
“Oh fuck, Vinnie. Please don’t stop,” I moaned out. Praising him for making me feel whole again.
He was hitting my g-spot with each forceful thrust.
“”Who fucks you this good, huh?’ He asks, grunting.
“You, Vinnie. Only you,” I let out, my mind delirious.
I was panting for air, goosebumps filled my body.
I could feel my legs shaking as I gripped the sheets from beneath me.
“Yeah?” He asks with a lifted brow. “Not even Jacob?”
The name ‘Jacob’ really sparked something in him because his hand gripped against my thighs, spreading my legs even further.
I lifted my legs up in the air, Vinnie in between them.
Thrusting into me like it was going to be the last thing he did.
With each push into me, he let out a grunt.
Almost as if he was trying to prove a point or keep in the moans I knew he had in him.
“Fuck no. I’ve nev-” I was saying until Vinnie ferociously slammed into me, the words no longer being able to come out of my mouth.
He kept on going faster after I confessed that Jacob and I never had a sexual encounter and I swear I was going to cum.
“Ahhh!” I yelled out. “Fuck, I’m so close.” I breathed out.
“Please Vinnie, please!” I moaned out, begging him to make me cum.
“Hold on!” He challenged, his hands gripping on my breasts, putting his whole weight on them.
He pushed harder into me, my breasts would definitely be forming bruises in a couple hours, but it was no problem to me.
He rode out his high. I could feel him twitching inside of me. Insinuating he was close to coming undone.
“You’re mine, Y/N. No one else’s.” Vinnie possessively says.
I nodded as I was close to my high, as well.
My legs were insanely shaking and I tightened myself, gripping Vinnie’s dick. Causing him to finally let out an exasperated moan.
I smirked and as Vinnie was on his last strokes, I quickly slid my fingers onto my clit and came undone with Vinnie.
He fell on top of me, laying on me. His dick still inside of me.
I look beside me to find Vinnie’s face laid on the crook of my neck. He was breathing heavily against my skin, causing me to giggle.
“You’re tickling me Vin,” I say in between giggles, with a huge smile on my face.
He turns his face, his eyes meeting mine and no longer deep into my neck. He sees me smiling and a wide grin appears on his face.
He then turns back and quickly kisses me all over my neck, causing me to laugh out loud.
“Vinnie, stop!” I say slightly, shoving his face away from my neck.
He lets out a cute laugh and lays back down, his face on my chest.
My hand tangles into his soft sweaty hair.
I press my lips against his face.
Vinnie closed his eyes due to my kiss. I swooned at the sight of his eyelashes.
He let out a sigh. “I never want this to end,”
“I don’t want it to either.” I softly say.
I gently grabbed Vinnie’s face and pressed my lips against his.
I could tell he was a bit surprised to my sudden affection but fuck it. I know Vinnie is the love of my life.
I pulled away from his heartwarming lips.
“Never hurt me again Vinnie,” I say seriously, looking into his eyes.
He looked like a kid on Christmas morning. He lifted himself up, leveling his face to mine.
“Never ever again! I promise you that. I’ll never make that foolish mistake ever again!” He exclaimed happily.
“Good! Now fucking kiss me again,” I say letting out a huge smile.
He lowered himself down to my lips mumbling. “Gladly!”
I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our chests were pressed to one another.
“I’ll never leave you again, baby.” He whispered, looking deep into my eyes.
I nodded.
His sweet lips met mine and I fluttered my eyes closed taking in the moment.
Vinnie pulled away from our kiss.
“Stay the night with me. Tomorrow you can go and tell everyone you’re mine again. Especially Jacob!” He proposed.
“You’re so annoying, you know that?” I smile, a blush forming on my cheeks. I knew he was jealous but my heart belonged to him.
“A tad bit.” He shrugged jokingly with a grin.
“I’m all yours and you’re all mine.” I say pulling his face back into mine.
Our lips smash into each other, sweetly.
“I'll toast to that!” He mumbles.
We continued conversing sweet nothings.
“I may or may not have broken down to my mom on facetime,” Vinnie confessed.
“Well I’m glad you did. I hope Maria kicked your ass!” I exclaimed.
He chuckled.
“Yeah, she did.” He paused. “So did my dad and Reggie,” He continued, causing me to giggle. He joined in my laughter.
“I love you,” I profess quietly, only for us to hear.
He sighed.
“Yeah, me too.” He smiled sweetly.
“I’m really sorry Y/N. I know I already half assed an apology but let me explain my awful train of thought. I thought that by ending things, you won't have to hurt and be in pain while I was gone. I knew you were always sad when we couldn’t be together because of work. I would see the light leave your eyes, I would see your red puffy eyes, knowing that that pain was because of me. We had already suffered enough before I broke things off. I thought that maybe if we broke up and I wasn’t in the picture anymore you wouldn't have to be so sad all the time. I thought that if we were apart, you’d be able to be happy without the thought of me in a whole ass other country. I’m so sorry. I just made everything worse. I was so fucking wrong.” He expressed.
I could see the tears brimming in his eyes.
“It’s okay baby. Don’t cry,” I spoke quietly. I swiped the tears in his eyes before they rolled down his cheeks.
He laid his face down into my chest.
“And the way I left you crying the night before I left for Paris. I was such a dick. But I thought I was doing the right thing by leaving. If I just looked into your teary eyes or heard you cry for another second that night I would’ve stayed. But I used my power and dignity to leave, thinking I was going to help you.” He confessed.
It was eye opening hearing his side of things.
“I wish you could’ve just talked to me, Vin. We could’ve settled on a plan. I could’ve visited you in Paris for a couple weeks and we could’ve met up in Seoul,” I sighed sadly. “We could’ve prevented all of this emotional damage.”
“I know. I was such a fucking idiot.” He said looking back up to me, while I played with his hair.
“Promise you won’t do anything like that again! If you’re feeling anxious or upset we can talk. We can always talk, love,” I reassured.
“I promise.” He nodded.
“Okay good. I trust you.”
“I’ll never do anything to make you doubt me again.” He reassured, pressing kisses on my chest. “A positive thing that came out of this is that I know what life is like without you-”
“How the hell is that a positive thing Vincent Cole Hacker?!” I exclaim, interrupting what he was saying.
He let out a laugh.
“Let me finish, woman!”
“Is it those Paris girl you fucked?!” I say, raising my eyebrows. Not letting him continue.
“Oh god, no!” He said in disgust. “Don’t even remind me. I thought getting with them would help me get you out of my head. But when they would leave I would feel sick to my stomach. None of them were you, baby!” He explained.
I just gave him a petty look as I crossed my arms.
“No, don’t cross your arms, now I can’t see your precious boobs,” He pouts, trying to pull my arms apart.
“No. I don’t think you deserve to see them right now!” I sassily say.
He gave me a grimace look.
“What I was trying to say before you interrupted me is that I will never leave you again. Life is pointless without you. I know how dark and gray life is without you. My heart was failing and aching without you. I had no purpose. But now that I have the chance to be with you again. I won’t fuck up this time. I’ll take that chance in a heartbeat and I won’t ever let you go again. I promise you that,” He softly ends.  
I could feel the warmness on my cheeks and the butterflies in my stomach erupting.
“Okay fine, maybe you deserve to see them now.” I say, uncrossing my arms, an uncontrollable smile appearing in my face.
“Good because I missed them! And I already know what you’re gonna say: ‘you just saw them’. But baby I haven’t seen or felt them for a month. I have a lot of catching up to do!” He proclaimed.
“I like the sound of that!” I say giggling as he cups my breasts.  
My hands traced his Greek god facial features, letting them roam down his arms and chest.
As he peppered kisses all over my skin he spoke up again.
“You know I think fate brought us back together.” Vinnie hummed, looking up at me.
I furrowed my eyebrows.
“Really? Why do you think that?” I curiously ask looking down at him.
“So, I drafted those messages you got earlier. I didn’t send them because I was too much of a coward but somehow they got sent. I must’ve sent it without realizing. But God I’m glad they sent,” He professed.
“Well then we’re meant to be.” I smiled.
“Yes, we are!” He mumbled against my skin.
“We should get cleaned up.” He charmingly says as he kisses my chest, swiftly picking me up from the bed.
Ahh! I hope you all enjoyed! This is my first ever writing smut for Tumblr, let me know how I did haha!

Okay so @ashintheairlikesnow refuses to give Vince someone who loves and respects him and his trauma so I am giving him one. 
None of this is Canon (unless Ash gives our boy some love) so this is just me giving Vincent Shield a boyfriend out of spite.
Vincent Shield belongs to @ashintheairlikesnow
Dmitri I am putting in the public domain.
Tw: implied noncon (from Vinces past with Owen), Owen Grant, self depreciating thoughts.
    Vincent throws his legs over the side of his bed. The feeling of silky velvet brushes against his skin like sunlight across spring lilies. Vincent pulls a little at the hem of his shirt, the faint smell of familiar cologne sits into the fabric of his shirt. He stretches and turns off his alarm, the ringing dances around his skull for a few moments before settling.
Today is the film photoshoot for the premiers. 
Vincent groans to himself. The one day out of filming any movie or TV series that he did not like. Throwing on clothes, Vincent starts down the stairs. He blinks as his hand curls down the stairs to the kitchen.
Vincent’s eyes wash over the living room. Pillows and blankets were folded nicely onto the coffee table. He can almost feel the absence through the carpet. He turns the corner and sees the coffee pot running softly.
Leaning on the counter, Dmitri sits glancing out the wall window above the kitchen counter. The window is open just a crack letting in a warm, gentle breeze into the house. 
“Good morning, Dmitri.”
Dmitri looks over at him and gives him a welcome smile, “Mornin’ Vee! You know how your brake pads were singing yesterday, I ran down to the shop and picked up the pads and replaced them. Coffee should be done soon, do you want pancakes?”
Vincent blinks and shoots a glance over at the clock, “Dmitri… it’s 6:43 in the morning.”
“Yes?”
“How did you do that so early?”
Dmitri shrugs and he hands Vince a mug, “I usually get up between 4:30 and 5 so.. I just got it done.”
Vincent takes it and grabs the coffee pot and pours himself some coffee, “I thought you didn’t have work today?”
    “I don’t,” Dmitri says as he takes a sip, “Just used to waking up before dawn.”
Vincent takes a sip of the coffee, the sounds of songbirds float in through the window. A few flutter past, their songs catching through the crack in the window. 
Dmitri holds a bag of chocolate chips up and says, “I got some pancake mix and some chocolate, might as well make your morning bright if the rest of today is going to be dull.”
With a smile, Vincent leans in and gives him a small peck on the cheek, "Thank you."
Vincent sits at the counter as Dmitri sprinkles chocolate into the batter. Dmitri, with a voice as smooth as butter cream, asks, "So what's on your agenda today?"
"Get into a latex costume for eight hours and pose for photos," Vincent rolls his eyes as the batter sizzles against the pan, "Cover photos are today."
"Ah," Dmitri says as he fills a pancake, "All day?"
"Yup, the first two hours are just getting into costume. The one thing I hate about this movie is theater suits we have to wear under the costume pieces. Walking sauna when you're under light all day."
Dmitri nods as he pulls off a pair of pancakes from the stove top, "You sent me a photo of you wearing one the other day, it really is skin tight. Do you want some strawberries with your pancakes?"
"And you just saw my upper half, and yes please."
Dmitri cut up some strawberries and poured syrup across the warm cakes, "For you sweetheart."
"Thank you!" Vincent beams back before he takes a bite. The fluffy cakes nearly melt in his mouth, the chocolate sitting across his taste buds. Everything Dmitri makes tastes the best. Something about how he cooks makes food feel like unlocking the answers to it all.
Southern Charm, he called it.
Vincent looks across the counter into Dmitri's dark, thoughtful eyes. 
The same eyes you pushed away from last night.
He did nothing wrong and you just had to ruin it all, didn't you Vince?
Why can't you just let that time die, Owen isn't even here and you're still freaking out about it.
"Vincent?" Dmitri asks as he examines Vincent's face. "Are you okay?"
Vincent snaps back to reality, his knuckles staring through his skin as he clutches the mug. He nods as he takes another bite of pancakes. Dmitri looks at Vincent, concern in his eyes.
You refuse to tell him and you've been dating for months now. What happens when he runs out of patience. What will you do then?
You're a coward and he'll figure it out eventually.
Hands wrap around his and squeeze, panic rises in Vincent's throat for a moment before he realizes the skin is too dark to be Owen's. 
"Hey, tell me five things you can see."
Vincent looks up, "You, the window, a blue Jay, the pancakes, the counter."
"Four things you can feel?"
Vincent shifts his fingers under his grip, "You, the coffee mug, the chair, the table."
"Three things you can hear."
"The birds, the stove, you."
Dmitri smiles, "two you can smell."
"Chocolate and pancakes."
"Taste."
"Syrup."
Dmitri let go of his hands and sits back down, "Are you okay Vee?"
"I'm sorry," Vincent says as he takes another sip out of coffee. Guilt falls from his eyes like dusk across a valley.
Dmitri cooks an eyebrow and shakes his head, "Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong."
Vincent puts his head in his hands, "I'm sorry for last night, I shouldn't have lead you on."
"Vee," Dmitri says as he takes a bite out of his own food, "You didn't lead me on. You just don't want to go all the way."
"I shouldn't have freaked out though---"
"Vee," Dmitri says with solid sterness behind his voice, "You have boundaries, you tried to push past them and then decided you didn't want to, and that's perfectly fine. Don't kick yourself because you set boundaries. I am perfectly fine with waiting."
Vincent shakes his head, "But I keep trying but then pulling back, it's not fair to you---"
"Vincent."
"Mhm."
Dmitri sighs and leans in, "Remember when you told me when we first got together that someone had broken your trust when it came to intimacy."
Vincent nods shakily, "Yes."
"And how you told me you weren't ready for that kind of intimacy with anyone yet."
"Yes."
Dmitri leans back, "What did I tell you after taht."
"That you wanted to wait until I was ready."
Dmitri nods and finishes up his food, "You weren't ready yesterday."
"But-" Vincent goes to interject. A feeling of both want and worry swirling in his gut. A butter churn of emotions twist his insides in uncomfortable ways.
"No Vee, do not start thinking that you owe me anything, you don't," Dmitri states as he finishes his coffee, "You don't need to give me anything and if that means I have to wait decades I will."
Vincent shifts in his seat nervously. Meeting Dmitri's eyes for a moment, he puts his head in his hands. 
Why don't you just tell him, coward.
Dmitri glances back at Vincent. "Do you want me to bring you lunch today, there is this Italian place near my apartment taht makes the best garlic bread I have ever tasted?"
Vincent nods, grateful for the distractions from his own thoughts, "Yeah, I'll let Michael know your coming in so he doesn't yell at you again."
Dmitri laughs as he puts the dishes into the sink. "Yeah you probably could have heard him from half a block down last time."
Vincent draws up a smile, "Trust me we heard it inside, what are your plans for today?"
"Run arrands mostly, I got paid the other day and I need to stock my fridge. Also I need new work pants since my old ones are so oil soaked it's not even funny."
"If you need anything I can order it for you," Vincent says as he stands up and walks his dishes over to the sink.
"Nah, I got cash," Dmitri says as he turns to face Vincent. Vincent looks up at him, eyes glossing over him for a second before roaming to the window.
"Could you drive me to work today?"
"Sure," Dmitri says as he gently places the dishes into the dishwasher.
When Dmitri stands up, Vincent envelops him in a hug. Dmitri slowly embraces him and the two stand close for a few moments.
"Thank you," Vincent mumbles into his chest. Dmitri smiles and places a kiss on the top of his head.
"I love you too."

The One Where Hajime Only Knows Class 77b Because He Works At A 24-Hour Grocery Store
it’s DONE, it’s BAD, it has all the pacing of a POORLY-WRITTEN SNL SKETCH, but I can’t give less of a shit I am tired and putting it out into the world. @idnek83 I told you I’d fucking write it. It’s 5am and this was written purely out of spite. also, the credit for this idea goes to them. the only reason i wrote this is because they were too much of a coward to.
Word Count: 3272 Summary: Hajime Hinata works at a 24-hour grocery store and only knows class 77-B because they all come in at different times to buy some weird shit. Chaos ensues. This is crack, just straight up crack.
There are worse things than working the graveyard shift. It pays a little extra than day hours, there’s less work to do at the counter, and the only thing Hajime really has to worry about is a drunk customer getting rowdy. Actually, he enjoys it in a weird way. He just stands at the counter, runs people up, and then leaves at six in the morning to do whatever the hell he wants with his day. Usually sleeping, but it’s also nice to be free all the time.
His favourite part of the job is the set of students that come in between the hours of two and five almost every day. They aren’t usually together, but he’s pieced together that they’re all in the same class by descriptions that he’s gotten from the more talkative of the bunch. He doesn’t know all of their names, some of them he only knows by nicknames, but he does know all of their faces.
Kazuichi Soda for example, comes in at around two in the morning every Friday night. He usually buys shitty beer or cheap liquor, and complains that he’s the one that got sent out from the party to get more booze. Sometimes he also picks up random assortments of tools or screws. Hajime thinks it should probably be illegal to sell a man a 40 of cheap whiskey and a power drill at two in the morning, but he learnt to stop questioning the combination of things that people buy at this kind of hour. He dreads to think of the drunk creations that Soda makes.
On the other hand, Mahiru only comes in around once a month. Hajime knows her name is Mahiru because the first time, she drunkenly introduced herself to him and tried to explain that her combination of items were for a photoshoot and not for any kind of nefarious purpose. He isn’t quite sure what kind of crime she could commit with several bunches of half-dead flowers, a whole cream cake and a bottle of champagne, but he’d definitely like to see it.
It’s four in the morning on a Tuesday. Hajime gets off in two hours, and he’s currently dealing with one Gundham Tanaka. He knows his name is Gundham Tanaka, because he announces it every single time that he gets rung up.
“Huh. Sunflower seeds and hamster bedding. You got any pets?” It’s an innocent question, but at this point he really should have learnt not to question Gundham.
“You fool! I, Gundham Tanaka, have my four Dark Devas of Destruction at my command, ready to strike at any moment for insinuating that they are mere pets as you mere mortals call them!” Ah, good. This happens every time. “You may also notice that I am purchasing this protective potion. This is a defensive measure to protect myself from the very devils that seek to feast on my demon blood!
Hajime looks down at the mosquito spray. He’s definitely not getting paid enough for this.
“Right, yeah. Sorry man. I hope those, uh, devils don’t bother ya too much. That’ll be twenty-two fifty-nine.”
Four hamsters poke out from Gundham’s scarf to deliver the money to Hajime. He isn’t sure if that’s sanitary, but at least he gets to see some cute animals during his shift. For “warriors”, as Gundham calls them, they’re pretty sweet and don’t seem to be adverse to getting pet when they hand (mouth?) him the bills.
Even if it gives him daytime freedom, this job isn’t worth ten seventy-two an hour. He sometimes thinks about switching to the day shift, but he gets paid more to work nights and effectively does half the work. Hajime knows that it’s the best job he’s gonna get for a while, and it pays enough to get him through college. Still, he reminds himself to check for something better when his shift’s over.
Gundham is the last of the class he sees that night. He’s definitely eccentric, maybe the most eccentric of the bunch, but he’s never caused a real scene. Except for one time when he managed to smash three bottles of red wine in quick succession, but it happens. Hajime didn’t have to clean it up, so he’s definitely not paid enough to care.
The next night, it’s Sonia that walks in. She’s never formally introduced herself to him, but Soda never shuts up about her, so Hajime has a pretty good idea of who she is. She’s buying nearly his month’s rent in skincare products and murder mystery novels. She talks the whole time too, about how this store is so different to ones in her home country, how he must get so many interesting experiences working at these hours.
“Yeah, you sure could call it interesting,” He snorts a little, “You get some interesting people come in at these hours.”
“Ah, of course! You are a respectable man to hold a necessary job such as this, I believe I would be, as they say, boned without you here! Is it customary to tip workers in institutions such as this?”
Jesus, how much money does this girl have?
“Uh, not grocery store workers ma’am. Cash or card?”
When she pulls out the cash from her purse, Hajime nearly faints. He decides that she must either be a foreign dignitary or deep in some criminal ring in order to have this much money on her person at any one time. It’s not even in exact change, and she’s a hundred over her total.
“This is too much, ma’am. Here, this is yours.”
When he tries to give the hundred back to her, she steps away from the register and puts her hands behind her back. She’s smiling, and shaking her head.
“Oh, no. I shan’t be taking that! You must keep it.”
She’s either an angel, or Satan trying to tempt him with nearly double what he makes in a night. Arguing with her is pointless, she refuses to take her items until he pockets the cash. He hopes that he never has to explain that to his manager, because he hasn’t read the company policy but he’s nearly a hundred percept sure that accepting personal money is very much against it. She finally leaves nearly half an hour later, after insisting he keep the money. He can’t tell if he hopes she comes back, or that he never sees her again.
He ends up keeping the hundred. That’s way too much money to be given to pass up.
If Hajime had to name a favourite customer out of the students, it would have to be the girl that comes in a couple of nights a week to buy snacks. He doesn’t know her name, but she always talks about video games. They share the same taste in them, and he likes hearing about his favourites from another person’s perspective. He doesn’t really have anybody to play them with, but it almost feels like he does when she comes in and asks how far he’s gotten in whatever just came out that week. He thinks about her during his shift sometimes when things get slow.
That same night, a boy with all the manners of a particularly pissed off cat comes in. He’s with a girl that towers over him, and Hajime would laugh if he wasn’t afraid of getting his ass handed to him, since he’s pretty sure the girl is carrying a sword. He’s buying twelve packs of cookies, and a single toy bunny. He pays with a black credit card. Neither of them say anything to Hajime. He’s pretty sure that’s the “Baby Gangsta” that Soda has spoken about on a couple of occasions, but definitely doesn’t want to ask just in case he gets sliced in half. He only notices that he was holding his breath when they leave.
An absolutely giant man walks in just as Hajime is about to clock out. No really, he’s huge and all muscle. Hajime might be scared of him, if he didn’t have such a huge smile on his face. He occasionally comes in early in the morning to buy a hideous amount of protein powder and other groceries. Every time he does, he invites Hajime to “train” with him. Hajime is too scared to ask what training involves, and turns it down every time. By the size of the guy, he’s pretty sure any amount of training would kill him.
Hajime doesn’t know when he clocks in the next night that it’s going to be the most hellish night of his life. He doesn’t know that tonight is the night he hands in his two weeks yet. He’s pretty optimistic when he walks in, freshly showered and having just gotten back a pretty decent grade for one of his classes.
It starts at five. Kazuichi Soda walks in first, already drunk and talking to Baby Gangsta about some motorbike he’s going to jack up so much it won’t be road legal anymore. The Giant Man is close behind, talking to a girl about doing “it” (Hajime has no idea what “it” is and frankly he isn’t sure he wants to know). That’s the first sign. No more than three of them have ever walked in together at any one time.
Lagging behind a little is Gundham and Sonia, followed by Mahiru and the tiny girl that sometimes accompanies her. The only thing Hajime can remember about her is that she called some other girl a “toilet clogging bitch” one time. Three other men follow behind, one with light hair that looks just a little too skinny to be healthy, one that looks nearly exactly the same as him except taller and heavier, and one that’s even shorter than Baby Gansta. A girl with her eyes glued to a Game Girl trails behind them, the Sword Girl almost steering her out of the way of a promotional stand for donuts. Behind them is Ibuki Mioda, a girl that comes in sometimes to buy Monster Energy by the crate at three in the morning, talking to Mikan Tsumiki who usually accompanies her to run of the health risks of drinking too much caffeine.
Behind all of them is the devil himself, dressed up like an angel. Hajime doesn’t know he’s the devil yet, but he will in about an hour.
They’re in the store for all of ten minutes before shit starts going south. Hajime can hear things being tossed around in the aisles and shouting. He definitely isn’t paid enough to deal with that, so he stands at his register and hopes it calms down.
“C’mon, we just finished our finals, Ibuki wants to go hard!”
That’s never a good thing to hear when you still have two hours of your shift left.
Now, part of the reason why Hajime likes working the graveyard shift is that it’s quiet. Nothing happens, except for the one time a guy in a Scream mask came in and robbed his register at axe-point, but he’d already been working at the store for two weeks and couldn’t give less of a crap whether or not the company lost money over that. Tonight, it isn’t quiet. Tonight, there are sixteen students that Hajime thinks might give him a migraine if they don’t shut up for five minutes.
The worst part is when they disperse through the store. Before, all the noise was coming from one place. Now it’s everywhere. Hajime thinks that some of them are having a competition to see who can make all the toys that make sounds go off in the quickest amount of time. He can hear shouting and squealing and laughing (and is that crying? Is one of them crying in his store?) and he wonders if it would be worth it to just walk out and let them take whatever they want.
It doesn’t end there. There’s a loud smashing sound, and then the high-pitched whine of the girl who looks too young to be buying booze but Hajime has never cared enough to card because it’s not his job to parent her.
“You snot-nosed bitch! I bet you’re trying to make Hope’s Peak look bad, you drunk whore!”
“I’m s-sorry! I didn’t mean to!” The crying gets worse the more the short one yells, “I-I’ll clean it up and pay for it, don’t worry! Please forgive me!”
Hope’s Peak is that exclusive private place down the street, right? Hajime passes it everyday, but couldn’t have ever dreamed of getting to study there. He isn’t even really sure what they teach, besides that they always push out the greatest in whatever field of study they run. No, Hajime chose the cheaper option, and while it might have been nice to go somewhere so prestigious, it definitely wouldn’t have been good for his wallet.
From the other side of the store, he hears clapping and laughing. He doesn’t even want to think about what fresh hell is going on in the DIY section, where he’s pretty sure he can hear Soda spilling paint everywhere if the swearing from Baby Gangsta is anything to go buy.
Half an hour or so after they all walked in, Hajime is ringing up fifteen people. He’s the only one working tonight until the cleaners come in, and this is more people than he’s ever had to deal with in his life.
Sonia has bought sixteen bottles of the most expensive champagne the store sells. Hajime doesn’t want to think about the ordeal he went though last time she was here, so when she pushes an extra hundred into his hand he doesn’t bother arguing with her. Gundham, on the other hand, has apparently bought up every single vegan burger that was in the freezer section. He’s also got all the buns, and what feels like a hundred different condiments and salad options. Through tears, Mikan apologises for the trouble she’s causing while trying to pay for whatever bottle she broke – while at the same time picking up enough hangover medicine to cure an army.
By the time he’s rung everybody up, he’s exhausted. He wants to go to bed and never get out of it, to never see anybody again. He hates customers at the best of times, and these people might be excellent outside of this setting, but in his store they’ve been an absolute nightmare.
They’re all packed up and ready to go when the girl with her nose in the video game pipes up.
“Hey, where’s Nagito?” She asks through a yawn.
Then, it happens. Hajime hears a “whoops” from the back end of the store, and everything he’s ever wanted to not happen on his shift happens.
One shelving unit goes down, then another, then another. The sounds of shattering and splintering echo through the now otherwise silent store. They go down like dominos, each falling shelf worse than the last. It’s five fifty-seven in the morning, and Hajime can only watch as his divine punishment for choosing to work in a grocery store near a college is shown to him. Bottles are smashing, toys are crushed, he’s pretty sure that whatever happens in the fish section is no longer safe to look at with the naked human eye.
“I’ve never thought about committing murder before,” He says, “But now I think I understand.”
Everybody is quiet until the dust settles. The white-haired demon walks out completely unscathed, with an innocently shit-eating grin on his face.
“Ah, I can pay for this. I’m so sorry to have caused such trouble,” He says, waving his hands like it’s no big deal, “Please, allow me to pay for the damages. My terrible luck is a scourge on this Earth, I simply can’t apologise enough.”
Hajime sighs, and looks at the clock. It’s five fifty-nine. There isn’t an enough money in the world to pay him to deal with this.
“What the fuck happened?” Baby Gangsta asks, from the back of the crowd, “Seriously, you’ve had some bad fuckin’ luck before, but this shit takes the crappy cake.”
“Oh. I tripped.” He dusts his knees off, and smiles again.
It’s unnerving that he’s so calm about this. Hajime dreads to think what else he’s done in the past that would make this seem so natural to him. Can you bar somebody from your store for accidentally wrecking every single item that you have to sell?
“There is some hope to come from this, Kuzuryu, don’t worry!” He pulls out a tiny stuffed dog from his pocket, “Please, how much will this be?”
All Hajime can do is stare. He isn’t sure what god he pissed off to deserve this. He doesn’t believe in karma, but he hopes that whatever he gets in return for this is pretty damn good.
Six in the morning rolls around. The day-staff have walked in to the mess that is the store, and his manager is just staring at him. Hajime looks at him, and just shakes his head.
“If you want the story, talk to the guy with the white hair. I don’t even know what’s happening anymore.”
Immediately after he says that, he hears a whoosh. Then, everything starts feeling a whole lot warmer.
“Shit, store’s on fire. Komaeda, you’re going to get us banned from this store!” Kazuichi yells, running as fast as he can to the exit.
The others follow, and Hajime gives his manager a “what-can-ya-do” shrug, before following. This store isn’t worth getting a lungful of smoke over. Hell, he isn’t even sure working here is worth the extra cash that Sonia seems adamant to give him every time she comes in.
Sixteen students, Hajime, four other co-workers, two cleaners, and a General Manager stare as the building burns. Before his manager can open his mouth to speak, Hajime looks at him and says, “Nope. I quit. I’m leaving. Now. This isn’t my fault, and you can’t pay me enough to deal with it.”
There’s no argument. His manager just lets him go. The sixteen students get a lifetime ban. Hajime also gets a lifetime ban. The white-haired devil writes a check and walks away basically scot-free. The store is going to be closed for the next fuck-knows how long until it can get repaired. From the number of zeroes on that check, Hajime’s pretty sure this is an expensive problem to fix. He doesn’t care, it isn’t his problem.
“Hey, Mr-Store-Clerk Guy!” Ibuki grins at him, “Wanna come and party with Hope’s Peak? We just got done with finals!”
“Ibuki, that’s a fantastic idea! To repay our debt to him for causing so much trouble, we simply must invite him to part-ay with us!” Sonia claps her hands together and smiles like Ibuki’s just discovered Atlantis, “Please do come with us! But first, might we get your name? We all see you so often, and have never thought to ask!”
It’s six in the morning. Hajime rubs his temples. Any sane person would say no, because he’s tired and just quit his job so he’s going to need to find another one as soon as possible, and having a store burn down on your watch is not good on your resume.
It’s six in the morning, and if there’s any day that Hajime wants to start drinking at ass-o-clock in the morning and not on his dime, it’s this one.
“I’m Hajime Hinata. Please don’t burn anything else down.”
“Oh, don’t worry!” Nagito calls from where he’s standing by the manager, “I’m sure that after that I’ll have some incredibly good luck!”

SKZ ԅ( ͒ ۝ ͒ )ᕤ
never heard of em
Tumblr media
1. KIM SEUNGMIN!!! also minho is my bias wrecker idk if i’ve ever said that i mean judging by my account you can assume every member is my bias wrecker BUT my like… official wrecker is minho.
2. put me in a ring with han jisung right neow
3. oh lawd… 19 makes me cry sometimes. awkward silence is just so goddamn fun i love it! placebo is a classic so glad they had it on skz 2021. in terms of their recent songs, the view and winter falls are my faves. i could literally go on for days talking about their discography pls-
4. their personalities! every member feels like a human being which is getting less and less common with new groups. skz feels like people, people who like each other. they weren’t just pushed together by a company and forced to dance. they’re a family, and it really feels like it. whether they’re on stage or doing a photoshoot or doing an interview, you can feel a family connection between the members. it’s really unique. not to mention their music is NOTHING like any kpop group. no one is releasing music like stray kids. they’re in their own league. i’m really proud of them.
5. more stupid songs like n/s. i feel like we haven’t reached peak stupid yet. and i know they’re like “””mature””” now and shit but damn. i was so cringey when that song came out i would be standing in my kitchen going x o x o x o bakke molla ey ey o x o x gyeolguk o ey ey it’s TOO GOOD, MAN. TOO GOOD! also put the skz player songs on spotify you cowards >:(

okay @mangosandchili 14 OC questions instead of 16 cause ned picked the other two 🙏
actually.. let me split this character-wise so I won’t take 100 years
finn gets first draw always
🌲 What is the kindest thing your OC has ever done for someone? What is the kindest thing someone has ever done for them? On the flip side, what is the worst thing your OC has done to another person?
Hmm hm kindness seems like a weird concept to think about for Finn. Cause yeah, he is excessively, self-sacrificingly kind, but he can also turn that off pretty easily when the other end does not deserve it in his eyes. The kindest thing he has ever done, continues to do sometimes, absolutely misplaced, is caring for his father, not giving up on him. Back when they were still living together, when his dad was too drunk to function, he’d clean him up, clean up around him, sober him up, even after the beatings started, forgiving him over and over. The kindest thing someone did to him was probably his mom getting him out of that situation.
The worst thing he has done to somebody else.. what an absolute nightmare question for Finn hasdghj. Take your pick between not magically being able to keep Kitty alive, continuously cheating on Emily like the single greatest asshole in the world or leaving Shawn straight after he tried to kill himself… he’d probably be able to come up with some other things that seem to be true in his eyes but might not be quite as bad as he sees them.
🌳 What does your OC do when they see others upset or in pain? An upset friend? A stranger?
He helps. Stops what he is doing and runs to help the more he loves the person. He could be standing on the court of some major tournament and drop the bat to go and help one of his loved ones, you can call him in the middle of the night and be sure to count on his help. Nothing in his own personal life can be more important than helping a friend in distress, so he’ll almost always put himself second. And if he does not, for whatever reason, no matter how justified, he’ll feel guilty about it. The same goes for strangers, in a way, of course not quite as extreme. But if he’d see someone in need of help, he won’t walk past it. He’s the type of person, when you’re in public and something happens that makes everyone uncomfortable, makes them pointedly stare someplace else or walk off hurriedly, he’d be the one to step in with no regard to his personal safety. He’d be the guy trying to safe someone from getting hit with a car, or step in between fights, argue with the police, make sure a person gets home safe.. But he also thinks ahead about what he could do for people. I made a post a while back about him being the kind of person to bring homeless people warm drinks and shoes in winter. I’m not quite sure what drives him, I think it’s one part his personal experience, knowing how it feels when nobody helps, but also him feeling guilty, feeling like he is a burden and a bad person and he needs to counterweight somehow.
🌿 What is something true about your OC that they refuse to admit about themselves? Is there any reason to this besides embarrassment?
He will NOT. EVER. let people tell him he is/would be a good father. He is though, he’s been practically raising his little half-brother since he was three (he’s seven now) since his mother is.. uh.. not exactly full-time mom material. And the kid is so good, he’s great actually, smart as hell, already running circles around him, skipped some classes (actually I’m thinking about it more and more but what used to be a he when i came up with him might actually be a trans girl but we’ll see so I’m sticking with describing Bryant as him atm, that’d be something that develops in the story in the future). But if somebody tells him what a good job he did/does with Bryant Finn would shut that down immediately. And then go and cry about it. He gets really panicky about the thought of being a father, since fathers in his family have traditionally not been especially great at it. There are arguments between him and Shawn, who says that Finn worrying so much about being a good father would already make him a hell of a better father than he ever had.
🍃 Describe a regular day for your OC. What is their schedule (if they have one).
He’s developed a pretty good routine since he went pro, which helps a lot with his moods and all. He will get up early, 7-ish, go for a run, come home, make breakfast, a lot, cause he has to eat constantly to keep mass. Then it’s time for some “paperwork”, organizing stuff, calls with sponsors and partners and whoever wants something of him, photoshoots, interviews, collabs. Cooking, eating. Meeting with his trainer, training or training solo. Depending on the day picking up Bryant from school and hanging out with him/meeting his sister/mother/other friends. Cooking, eating. On every other day streaming, mostly some games, sometimes cooking, sometimes just hanging out with fans. Mania/depression will of course throw some wrenches in there but he’s been pretty good at keeping things together lately. If he’d be back with Shawn he’d also trim all the job stuff down a bunch, a lot of his excessive training atm is very much just to keep himself occupied.
🍁 What is your OC’s most traumatic experience? (If they don’t have just one traumatic experience either pick one or describe them all!)
Ha, laughing at the describe them all.. let’s not. The biggest is definitely losing Kitty. It has completely, both positively and negatively, marked his life. It made him develop his strict anti-drug stance and the focus on sticking things through to avoid hurting his family. Sometimes he thinks back to it, if Kitty would not have died, who he would have become. He’s mostly sure he’d be the one who had killed himself instead, without the trauma of losing her he would not have thought about what that would do to others as much. He’d most definitely be an addict in one way or another. He would not like himself very much. He also ABSOLUTELY hates that thought cause he can’t bare seeing anything positive in her death, he refuses to think about it that way. He’d bring her back in a heartbeat, regardless of what that would do to him. So instead he is much more focused on the fear of losing his loved ones, of somehow being responsible for it either directly or indirectly by not seeing it and not helping.
🍄 How would your OC react to the death of a friend/family member/loved one? Is there anyone they can confide in?
Oh boy how fitting. It was already the absolute worst thing to happen to him, knocked him out for quite a while, people had to babysit him constantly, he dropped out of school, it took him a lot of time and energy to resemble a human being again. If it would happen again I think he would just stop functioning. He wants to follow but promised himself not to, so he can’t, but that does not make him feel better. I think he would have to be hospitalized in some way or another, stay in a clinic for a while. Other than that Shawn and Raphael would be the ones he would confide in the most. His sister too, in a way, but with her he would be much more worried about putting all this negative shit on her.
🌾 What would your OC be like if they were evil. Or if they’re already evil what would they be like as the good guy?
Oh I’m excited about this question for some of the others lol. It’s really hard to picture Finn as an evil person. He sure likes to believe he’s an unlovable asshole but he’s really not, that’s at the core of his character. Evil Finn would have married Emily and been an asshole about it, cheating and not being safe about it. He’d be a drug dealer probably, that’s the worst thing regular Finn could imagine himself to be. He’d just be bitter and aggressive and living it out, enjoying dragging others into the muck with him.
💐 How would your OC react to somebody telling them that they love them? (+ bonus give another characters/OC name!)
Definitely depends on whether the intention is platonic or romantic. Emily and Raphael showing romantic interest would just make him sad? Melancholic? Guilty. Cause he wants to make them happy, but he can’t give them what they want, even if he loves them, he does not love them that way. Shawn telling him he loves him would just.. break a dam, he’d definitely cry and be absolutely overwhelmed and relieved. Also a little scared. Anybody else saying it would just prompt him to, uh, probably stop seeing them. Flight instinct. He is so not over what happened between him and Shawn he will run for the hills at any sign of a potential relationship.
🌷 What does your OC hate about themself? What lies about themself do they believe? On the flip side, What does your OC love about themself?
I love these questions, they were very much made for the way I write characters lol. Especially Finn, cause a lot of him is just being tortured by his brain and him knowing that, but still believing in it. He focuses on the bad things he has done, and there’s been a bunch, a lot of it definitely fueled by being bipolar, but he can’t accept that as a reason, he does not want to make excuses for his actions. So he just sees how he has hurt people in the past and deduces that he has to be an asshole. It is really hard to convince him otherwise. Even if he logically can understand that it is unlikely that people think this way about him, it’s still an underlying fear beneath everything and always some part of his motivation. So he’s weak, and a coward and selfish and a burden, unlovable. He definitely hates being impulsive and aggressive sometimes, there’s been a hundred times when he was in a fight, an unnecessary fight he couldn’t keep himself from starting, and saying things/doing things he did not mean to. He hates this fact, that he can lose control like that, it scares him.
On the flipside, he is somewhat narcissistic. If he does not hate himself for a second he considers himself to be pretty damn great. He prides himself on the way he takes care of other people. On how far he’s come, both mentally and professionally. He knows he’s a good musician, a good cook. He’s the kind of person that would refuse to work with others in a group project cause he knows he’s insufferable and would not be happy with other people’s work affecting his evaluation. He can’t watch other people do things he would do a different way without wanting to step in and correct them. But all of that ego is just a balloon that pops pretty quickly and he’s back to believing he’s the worst at everything.
🥀 What is something your OC blames themselves for and is it really their fault? Does it keep them up at night and is there any lingering trauma?
I like how these questions are all just building up on one another. He blames himself for not seeing how miserable Kitty had been, for having her persuade him to travel without her when he kinda knew he should probably worry about her, for not somehow having been able to, I don’t know, just know what was going to happen and act differently, or just generally for not being enough of a good force in her life for her to cling on to. That’s all just doubling down when Shawn tries to kill himself and he once again feels like it was his personal failure. Not being good enough or attentive enough, probably even being part of the reason why. There’s a whole lot of trauma there. Of course none of it is true. Kitty knew exactly how attentive Finn had been to her, it’s the reason she made sure he was away when she went through with it. The same goes for Shawn, where the reason was exactly the opposite of killing themselves because Finn was not enough, but rather because Finn was too much, too good, and they would just be bad for him if they would stay alive. Finn can’t see that angle, at all, if he did he would not accept it. It keeps him up in his worst nights. If/when he gets back together with Shawn it would be a major fear for him, Shawn having a relapse, Shawn dying of an overdose, intentional or not, Shawn getting to such a low point again without him realizing or being able to do anything about it. I imagine he would sometimes get a bit hysteric about stuff, if he does not know what Shawn is currently doing or something seems off, he is really good at working himself up into a frenzy about small stuff that feeds into his worst fears.
🌺 In what situation would your OC be pushed to commit an act of violence? Would they go as far to kill someone if they had to? How would this affect them and their relationships with others?
Well he’s certainly been in a bunch of fights, cause he’s provocative, he’s great at making people lose it, sometimes intentional sometimes not. He’s also not good at not reacting to provocation himself. Racism certainly feeds into that a lot. He’s had some manic phases where he was very much looking for fights. I think he would be able to kill someone, but only in the moment and only if it’s to protect himself or somebody else. He would not deal with it all too well, it would haunt him. He would think about that person having a life, a family, loved ones of their own. He would think about putting an end to somebody’s consciousness, that last fading moment, it’s all over, because of him, and he can’t take that back. I feel like the people around him would never be able to punish him for it as much as he would do himself. If he would have killed for Shawn’s sake, he, Shawn, would probably struggle a bit with accepting what has happened, because of him, what Finn had to do, because of him. He would be angry for a while, directed at Finn and himself. Finn would not be able to handle that very well, he can’t bare the thought of being hated be Shawn, he is so scared of being seen as bad, even though part of him has himself convinced that people see him this way anyways. He’s just scared of confirming what he already suspects.
🌸 What would your OC do if they were given god-like powers or the ability to change anything about the world for a whole day?
I think Finn would have a lot of problems with that timeframe. Cause there is not a lot of things god-like powers are worth of that would make sense for such a short amount of time. He would think about ending hunger and homelessness, discrimination, racism, the entire system, he would bring Kitty back, he would want to make everything okay.. but only for a day?? And then go back to square one? We would rather not change anything than have something great for a second only for it to be taken away again. So it would all be about creating a nice experience with the people he loves, allowing them all to do something they have wanted to do their whole lives.
🌼 Describe one of your OC’s worst nightmares.
Oh I think I mentioned them all already. Family members and close friends dying, or other terrible things happening to them. Alternatively finding out that everybody hates him and he’s hurt all the people he loves without realizing it, that they all think he and his moods are a burden and they’d all be happier without him.
🌻 What advice would your OC give to their younger self? What advice does your OC need now?
Don’t try to stick to how you think things are supposed to be as much versus doing what you actually want to do. Don’t bend and break yourself to fit some sort of premade mold that society created for you. He has done a lot of hurtful things to himself and others only cause he tried to play by the rules. He dated Emily for much longer, trying to present himself as straight, than he should have, experimenting on the side and hurting her that way. He excused his father’s behavior way too much, being the filial son he’s supposed to be, cause it’s family and family sticks together and forgives. He’s hated himself so much for his illness, trying to force it away instead of accepting that it’s there and acting accordingly to get a better grip on it. He still hasn’t outed himself to his father or the world, since he became somewhat famous, because he’s really insecure about it changing the way people will look at him.  That’s probably what he could use good advice on these days. He knows, somewhere, that he should out himself, that it is a fantastic thing to do, in his position, to work towards change. He’s just not quite ready to pay the price and he feels awfully guilty about it. Someone should tell him about all the people he could be representing, but also about how much living his life without hiding anything will free him.

Disruptor Designer and her Model, day 16
<Previous  Next>
16. Blush
It was official. They were trending on social media.
If she were being honest, the fact that it took four months for it to happen kinda shocked her. They weren’t exactly being subtle about their relationship; they just weren’t posting it on social media. But apparently, someone had caught a picture of her and Adrien on a date last night, meaning that now, the headline “Adrien Agreste dating social media star, Ladybug” was everywhere.
But that wasn’t the best part.
“Did you see they gave us a ship name?”
She could hear Adrien chuckle on the other end of the phone. “I did. We have two, actually. Seems people can’t decide which one to go with.”
DisrupMarinette felt like her face was permanently on fire at this point. “It’s quite the hashtag war.”
“Adribug isn’t bad, but I kinda like Ladrien better.”
“I do, too,” she said, thinking of something she could put that shipname on. It was really cute.
“So, how do you suggest we weigh in on the shipname war?” Adrien teased. “Because it’s our responsibility to choose a victor.”
Marinette giggled. “Is it really?”
“It absolutely is. This is our shipname on the line. It’s very important.”
Marinette bit her lip, partly in thought, and partly to keep her giggles at bay. “How about this…”
With Adrien out shopping to pick up the few items they needed, Marinette was creating the design on her computer. She had a couple designs and was debating between the two of them by the time Adrien arrived.
She rushed to the door, almost overeager to see him. It was becoming a terrible habit, to be so addicted to his presence that she craved it. She threw open the door and threw her arms around him.
He swooped her up, bags of thing bouncing against her backside. “Hey, you,” Adrien said with a chuckle. “Someone’s happy.”
Marinette giggled as she slid out of his hold. “Sorry.”
“Don’t be,” Adrien assured. “I…” He paused, turning away with a blush. “It’s not like I don’t like your attention.”
Marinette felt her own cheeks warm. “Well, I always love seeing you.”
That caused Adrien’s blush to deepen, something that gave her a sense of pride. I did that, she’d always think. Me. It caused her heart to race even more.
She loved this man. She hadn’t told him yet, but she did. “I, uh, have a couple designs,” she said, breaking the silence. “Let me show you.”
“Should we throw the shirts in the wash first?”
Yes. Yes, they should. “Good call.”
After throwing the shirts Marinette had asked Adrien to buy in the washing machine, she showed him the two designs she was debating between.
“I like the first.”
“Really?”
“The font is nicer, and you can see the ladybug print better.”
Marinette nodded. “Okay. First one it is.”
Adrien grinned. “This is a fantastic idea, by the way.”
“I’m glad you think so,” Marinette said. “I know it’s kinda silly, but it’s fun, and it will be fun to see the response on social media.”
“Honestly,” Adrien said. “The thought of owning a t-shirt with our shipname in big, bold letters makes me happy.”
Marinette got a twisted feeling in her gut. “You’re going to wear that around everywhere, aren’t you?”
“Isn’t that the point?” he asked. “To profess my love for my girlfriend everywhere I go?”
It took exactly one second for the entire atmosphere in the room to change. Because even though they were a very solid couple, neither had dropped the ‘L’ word.
Until now.
Adrien was red, and Marinette was sure she was, too.
Say it now, coward. She mentally screamed. “Adrien—”
“Because I love you.”
He beat her to the chase.
“A lot,” he said, his blush growing deeper. “I really love you and see you as the only girl for me.”
Her heart was positively racing, yet her mouth didn’t want to give a response. She worked her jaw, but when nothing came out, she simply threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. “I love you, too,” she eventually managed. “I love you.”
He stiffened, but soon enough, his arms were tight around her, squeezing her against his chest while his face was pressed into her hair. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
The day was spent fairly lazily, after that. They were snuggled together on the couch, a movie playing in the background, until the clothes in the wash were done. She took a moment to throw the two white t-shirts Adrien got specifically for this project into the dryer on a low setting just so they could finish the project asap, and then Marinette hung the rest of the shirts she had thrown in the wash just for the sake of getting laundry done.
While they were waiting, they figured out how to use the iron-on transfer sheets that Adrien had picked up. After both of them reading the instructions, they stuck the sheets in Marinette’s printer and printed the design that said “#Ladrien” in bold letters with a ladybug print coloring the “#Lad” while there was a dark green for the “rein.” Marinette had admitted with a blush the green was for his eyes.
After that was completed and all they had to do was wait for the shirts, Marinette decided it would be good to make lunch.
Adrien insisted on assisting, and lunch was made in no time. After they finished eating and cleaned up the kitchen, they set up Marinette’s photoshoot equipment. By the time that was done, the shirts were dry.
Marinette read the instructions one more time before ironing on the design. She did not want to mess this up. Thankfully, when she peeled away the backing paper to reveal the final design, she couldn’t be happier.
“Not my usual process of making logos for t-shirts,” she commented, “but it turned out nice in a pinch.”
Adrien grinned, taking his t-shirt. “And now, to take a picture?”
“Or, like, ten.”
Adrien only grinned.
They took more than ten, but they enjoyed themselves doing it. She chose one to put up on her social media, one with both her and Adrien clearly wearing matching “#Ladrien” shirts. Adrien chose a different one, one where half of each shirt was visible but they were very clearly acting like a couple.
But Marinette’s favorite, the one what became her new phone screensaver, was the one where Adrien had leaned over and surprised her with a cheek kiss.
She would have chosen their actual kiss that had taken place seconds after, but honestly, that photo came out a bit too steamy for her to want anyone else to accidentally see it.

The Water Was Never Afraid - Chapter 13: Dare
(AO3)
“I have a confession,” Adrien blurted out.
Kagami lifted her head from his shoulder. They were sitting on her bed, and she had been watching him pet her calico cat, Goro. Befitting to his name, he was sitting on Adrien’s lap, rumbling up a storm.
“What?”
“I got fitted for a photoshoot today,” he stated casually.
“Oh? So you’re starting modeling again?”
“Yeah, unfortunately.”
The air was filled with only the sound of purring for a good chunk of time while Adrien pondered how much he should say.
“Why is that a confession?” Kagami asked.
“I haven’t gotten to the confession part yet,” Adrien hedged.
Kagami stared at his profile, and he focused on stroking the smooth fur on the sides of Goro’s face, scratching him under the chin.
Now that he had alluded to it, he had no choice but to say something.
“It’s for Marinette’s feature in the Style Queen.”
Kagami gave him a suspicious look. “That’s great for her. But I still don’t get why this is a confession.”
“I, um…” The way Adrien had felt while Marinette was fitting him made him feel guilty. He figured the one-sided knowledge of his moment of vulnerability with her as Chat Noir had just made things weird at that moment, but he feared that wasn’t all it was. Maybe what Chloé had said at the soirée had affected him more than he thought. Whatever the reason, the way he saw Marinette had shifted.
He wanted to admit it to Kagami and come clean. He’d tell her that he had no intention of doing anything and was going to steer clear of Marinette at work, once this photoshoot was over. That was a healthy and mature way of handling this, right? Full disclosure. If he could tell her, it didn’t have to mean anything, right?
But, did he dare? Telling Kagami might put a strain on their relationship. She might break up with him. Their friendship might never be the same again. She might develop a grudge against Marinette. He could think of a dozen possible consequences of telling Kagami, and none of them were good.
Except the glimmer of possibility that she would appreciate his honesty and they would grow stronger because of it.
Her scrutinizing eyes pierced him, and he felt like he could hide nothing from her. Better to tell her and apologize before she could figure out herself that he had some kind of feelings for Marinette and feel betrayed.
He opened his mouth to speak, but the words he wanted to say wouldn’t come out.
“I know you don’t want me spending time with Marinette,” he said, as if that were the confession. “I just wanted you to know what I was doing, so you wouldn’t find out some other way and be hurt. The photoshoot is on Wednesday, and she’ll be directing.”
Coward. You are a coward, Adrien Agreste.
Kagami reached out and stroked back a lock of hair that had fallen out of place on his forehead. “Adrien, I never said I didn’t want you spending time with her. If it’s for work, why would I mind?” She smiled. “Thank you for telling me, though.”
Adrien gave her a crooked smile back while his stomach twisted in knots. He pulled her in with one arm and planted a kiss on her head. “Thanks for understanding, Tiger.”
“Just returning the favor.”
“Hm?”
“You always understood me better than other people.” Kagami settled her head back on Adrien’s upper arm and reached out to bury her fingers in Goro’s side. His purrs reverberated in Adrien’s lap.
Adrien looked at her quizzically.
“My life has always been straightforward—make it to the top, no compromises. Ever since I was young, my mother taught me that if I considered others too much, I would end up yielding and showing weakness, even losing my position. She taught me to develop a tough skin so I wouldn’t feel guilty pushing others down to come out on top.”
Adrien rested his cheek on the top of her head, hearing her out before making any comment.
“When we first met, I lost to you, but you gave me a second chance. You saw how devastating the loss would be for me, and you spared me from disgrace. I never told you how much that meant to me.”
“… Oh.”
“You showed me that having compassion for others doesn’t always make you the weaker person. It changed my perspective… so, even though I tease you for being so nice to people, it’s actually something I admire about you, and it makes me want to change.” She smiled up at him.
Adrien melted at her words. She had never admitted as much to him before. He had honestly thought that she hated that aspect of his personality. He kissed her nose affectionately and ran a thumb along her freckled cheek.
“So,” Kagami continued, “I’ll admit, you’re right. I’m a little jealous of Marinette, and I don’t entirely believe that you never had feelings for her…”
A needle of guilt pricked Adrien’s heart.
“… so naturally, I don’t want you to spend time with her. But, I know you’re friends, and she means something to you. I know you want to help her. So, I’m going to respect that. I trust you.”
“Thanks, Kagami,” Adrien breathed, and Goro protested with a mewl as he stopped petting him to pull her close in a tight embrace.
The next day, Adrien had another fitting with Marinette to check the modifications, but this time, he was prepared. He was strictly professional with her and didn’t touch on any unnecessary topics of conversation. The fitting passed quickly and without incident, and Adrien went on with his day.
“Maybe I’m getting worked up about nothing,” Adrien mused, sinking into his desk chair and switching on his computer.
Plagg phased out of Adrien’s shirt to land behind a succulent pot, visible to Adrien but hidden from prying eyes. “What are you talking about?”
“I mean, I’ve been seeing her a lot lately, more than usual. Isn’t it natural to be thinking about her?”
“You’re talking about Bakery Girl again?”
Plagg’s observation made Adrien feel self-conscious. Had he been talking about her a lot recently? “I was just worried…” Adrien trailed off. Plagg would tease, and he wasn’t in the mood.
“Worried about what?”
“Fine. I was worried that I might actually like her that way. But I’m probably just working myself up by worrying about it.” He opened his email and perused the inbox for urgent matters.
Plagg shrugged tiny shoulders. “You surely wouldn’t have to think about it so hard if you felt nothing for her.”
“I don’t feel nothing, Plagg. She’s my friend.” Adrien thought about the time he had dropped in on her while she was putting together her ‘Inspiration Book,’ and how comfortable it was to just chat with her and hang out. “Oh! That reminds me…”
On a whim, he pulled out his phone and opened Marinette’s instagram, @TheRealMDC.
“Oh~ho. You’re stalking her now?”
“No,” Adrien emphasized. “She said she had an account where she posts her designs, so I’m looking for it. Detective work, not stalking.”
Her personal account clearly wasn’t it. There were no drawings—only selfies of Marinette with her friends and some random artsy pictures—a few of her balcony plants during the daytime, outfits, macarons.
He tapped a picture of Marinette wearing an above-the-knee bright yellow circle skirt, paired with a half-sleeved cropped shirt with broad black and white stripes that showed off her trim waist, and tomato red shoes. The colors reminded him a little of Chloé, though the style was quintessentially Marinette. She was posing outdoors in the Jardin des Tuileries, so she must have had a friend take the photo. She would have made a cute model.
“Looks an awful lot like stalking to me,” Plagg said right next to Adrien’s ear, making him jump in surprise.
“I like her outfit!” he insisted. “I work in the fashion industry, I am allowed to appreciate stylish clothing! Plus, it’s not stalking if she challenged me to find her!”
“Methinks the lady doth protest too much,” Plagg quoted Hamlet, polishing his whiskers.
Adrien rolled his eyes, pressed ‘back,’ and opened Marinette’s list of followers. He typed in the word ‘design’ to see if anything would come up. The list of results was so long he had to scroll. Duh, of course Marinette would be following a bunch of design accounts.
“What about that daredevil reporter girl?” Plagg suggested.
Right, Alya. Adrien pulled up her account and searched her follower list for the keyword ‘design.” Only one account came up: @DottyDesigner. He snorted at the pun—especially appropriate if this was Marinette, since polka dot patterns featured prominently in her designs.
Adrien tapped to view the profile, to be rewarded with hundreds of illustrations of various outfits. When he clicked on one, a swipe revealed the finished outfit on a dress form. These were interspersed with random sketches not paired with finished pieces.
From what Adrien had seen of Marinette’s illustration style, this was it. His hunch was confirmed when he saw that the account was following @TheRealMDC. “Gotcha,” he muttered triumphantly under his breath. He didn’t think he’d be so lucky as for his first tactic to work.
“Is that Bakery Girl’s work?” Plagg zoomed up close to the screen and tapped one with a cream-colored romper. “I like that one, it reminds me of cheese.”
“Ha! I’ve gotta tell her I found it!” Adrien was still feeling victorious as he perused the designs.
“Does that mean you’re going to visit her again?”
Adrien froze. He hadn’t decided on a course of action as Chat Noir. Steering clear of her seemed to be the obvious answer, if he were being consistent. But Marinette seemed to like and trust Chat—maybe even more than Adrien, though he couldn’t fathom why. The idea of ceasing to visit her just when their friendship was starting to pick up seemed disheartening.
If he was going to start distancing himself as Adrien—which Kagami wanted him to do anyway—then his double life shouldn’t make things so awkward.
Things were different when he was Chat. His actions were more inconsequential.
“I mean… why not? What harm could it do?” Adrien decided, still half lost in thought. He slipped his phone into his pocket and got back to work.
Chat Noir tossed a chunk of bark from the tree branch at Marinette’s French doors. It was already dark out, and it felt like too much of an intrusion to invite himself onto her balcony.
Moments later, she opened the door with a little smirk on her face. “Back so soon, Chaton? I hope you’re feeling better today.”
“I am, Princess!” Chat replied in a chipper tone. The branch bounced as he leapt onto her balcony and gave her an exaggerated, princely bow. “How are you this evening?”
“Very well, and you?”
“Great—I found your design Instagram!” He leaned against the railing with his arms crossed, looking as proud as a cat who’d brought home a mouse. “Your drawings look amazing.”
“Oh, really?” Marinette put her hands on her hips. “How much did you have to stalk me to find it?”
Chat Noir made an offended look. “Stalk you, Princess? I’m a gentlecat, I would never do such a thing! It wasn’t hard, actually—I know you’re friends with that Ladyblog girl, so I searched her followers list for the word ‘design,’ and the only handle that came up was following your personal account, so I figured that was you.” He smirked. “Didn’t think it would be that easy, but you’re more predictable than I thought, Princess.”
“Hmm,” Marinette hummed, coming up to Chat Noir and looking him over in a calculating way that made him feel less confident. “So you do have a good head on those shoulders, Minou.”
“Are you patronizing me?”
She snorted. “Never! It’s just… there’s one detail bothering me about your story.”
Chat Noir gulped. “What’s that, Princess?”
“How do you know about my personal account?”
“—Uh!!” Chat Noir blanched. Marinette’s design account had over ten thousand followers, so he would have had to scroll through pages upon pages of usernames to notice the private account that only a leap of faith would lead him to believe belonged to her. Her name didn’t appear anywhere, and the profile picture was an artsy shot of a model wearing one of Marinette’s pieces on the runway—not that Chat Noir would know that. Instagram had only showed him @TheRealMDC followed @DottyDesigner because Adrien was already following her account.  “Umm… I…” he tried to think of a plausible excuse.
“You’re a creepy stalker.” Marinette flicked his bell.
“No, I’m not!” Chat Noir objected. “I happened to find out in a legitimate, non-creepy way!”
“I don’t believe it,” Marinette laughed, “You’re totally a creepy stalker! You shouldn’t be allowed on my balcony anymore!” She pushed his nose with a fingertip, making him lean back over the balcony rail, far enough that it would have been dangerous if he hadn’t been equipped with a super suit as a safety net.
“Hey, Princess, have mercy!” He flailed, twisting away from her finger. Since she had leaned in to push him, when he got free and rebounded onto the balcony, he ended up practically in her arms.
He edged past her and stepped away from the rail, heart pounding and face flushed, temporarily robbed of words. If he wanted to lie to himself, he would say it was due to the adrenaline of almost being pushed off the balcony, but he wasn’t so naïve anymore. This feeling was familiar.
“Sorry, Minou, I went too far.” Marinette bit her lip and, taking his arm, pulled him in the direction of her flat. “I just made banana bread, do you want some? If you prove yourself worthy tonight, maybe I’ll even let you come back another day.” She shot him a playful look over her shoulder.
“Sure, I’d love some, Princess.” He followed her, just as he followed the last girl who made him feel this way.
For the rest of the night, his eyes were drawn to her, taking in the way her eyelids folded behind thick eyelashes when she blinked, the natural pink hue of her cheeks, the creases that appeared beside the corners of her mouth when she smiled and spoke, the way she tucked one leg under her when she sat. He got drunk on the sound of her voice, teasing her just a little more so he could hear her laugh again.
This feeling was familiar, because this was exactly how it had felt to fall for Ladybug in less than twenty-four hours.
Except, instead of a carefree student who could pursue his Lady to his heart’s content, now he was a businessman and highly public figure with a girlfriend, who was only stealing moments with a friend he wasn’t allowed to meet without the mask.
As he drank in her presence, his heart hurt.
Maybe it would be okay for him to just come and see her now and then. This didn’t have to turn into anything.
They could just be friends.
This should be fine, right?
Did he dare to keep coming back?

REMEMBER ME?
Pairing: TAEHYUNG X READER
Genre: ANGST, FLUFF
Word count: 2352
Tumblr media
It was a cold moonless night. The sky was dark and low, the air so chilled it hurt to breathe. Already the ground was laid white with frost and any water that had been liquid under the winter sun had become ice.
Taehyung stuffed his hands into his thick, furry overcoat as he made his way inside the dimly lit bar along with his friend Park Jimin. This place was the nearest to their apartment and so they decided to spend some time in here, also he needed some warm alcohol running through his blood after such a hectic day at the studio.
He slumped down on the nearby chair while Jimin just dissolved in the crowd. Heaving a sigh, he wondered how that boy still had strength to even move his body after spending five hours in recording and five more in dance rehearsals. But this was Jimin. The man who lived for dance. It was his stress reliever. Dance and wine and maybe a hot company.
"Ah...Taehyung-ah...what brings you here tonight?" the bartender inquired. Since this was the closest place to their dorm all the members would come here whenever they needed a time out and so he was sure that all of them had become friends with this man.
"Stress... loneliness..." Taehyung answered as he winked at the middle-aged man. The man sniggered as Taehyung joined in.
"Well here's your usual..." The man placed a huge beer mug in front of him. "...this may or may not help with the stress and for your second dilemma...well the ladies are all out there, all you have to do is choose..." he jabbed a finger in his chest and grinned but then moved on to his next customer.
It sounded so easy, in fact it was easy. All he needed was to just sweet talk a woman and she would readily walk in through his apartment door. But the thing is that he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was not a coward, no. It's just that every time he approached a girl, your face would flash in front of his eyes and he could feel all his enthusiasm drain away.
Since the day he had stepped out of your shared apartment, which he bought when you were dating, he had been bemused and frustrated but mostly empty and his own behavior had amazed him because he was the one who chose to leave rather than other way round. He was the one who preferred flight rather than standing up like a man and fighting the situation. Though memories of you still haunt him day and night, but he does not hold you responsible for his wretched condition and taunting heartache.
There are times when in his heavily drunken state, he would let go all control and whine like a little child while Jimin would just sit there listening to him repeat his not so sorrowful but rather, a foolish mistake. But again, he was thankful that Jimin was there. On such days Jimin wouldn't mock him or tease him or say, 'what a dumbass he was being' but rather made sure to take him home safely and if necessary even sit with him on the white tiled bathroom of their shared room while he vomited up all his grief and frustration.
There are times when Jimin would just grab him and shake him harshly as if trying to push some sense in him but this would only happen when he would completely withdraw or start making mistakes while their rehearsals.
"Listen you jerk..." Jimin would start when they would take a break. "...either go out and look for her or forget her and move on. Choose either but please, please Tae-Tae stop torturing your own self..." to this Taehyung would just reply with a humorless laugh.
It's not as if he didn't consider these options. Every night when everybody would be buried deep in their sleep he would be the only one awake trying to comprehend the two options. After doing this continuously for six months he was sure that forgetting you was not at all an option. It was just not possible for him to forget something that was so precious to him. But at the same time, he was afraid to look for you.
He remembered the night before your split. Something he would never forget till his last breath. Your relationship was already on the rocks. Quarrels, fights, disagreements had all become a humdrum in your life. But it couldn't be helped because it was a crucial period for Taehyung and his career. If he would have not focused at that time all this that he accomplished now would be nothing but a mere dream for him. And so, he had to choose his career over you.
You would always grumble that he would not spend sufficient time with you but what could he do? There was so much to do rehearsals, recordings, photoshoots and so on and so forth that sometimes he didn't even get time to reach his own dorm and sleep, rather, he would just pass out on the nearby couch in the studio. It was not just him but his entire team.
After ruminating about it for at least a month he had concluded that it would be better to walk your own paths rather than staying together and hindering each other's paths. That night he came early as he promised you but the moment he entered your apartment his steps wavered. You looked so jubilant as you jumped in his arms and pecked him, your lips warm against his cold one. Your extra time spend in the shower and then in front of the dresser was all visible as you were dressed in one of his favorite dresses and pulled him through the door and made him sit on the dining table. You prepared all his favorite dishes and set up the entire room with dim lightings and scented candles and yet there he was trying to figure out how to spell out those bitter words while you practically jumped around in the entire room. You were innocent, so pure and he was just not prepared to hurt you this intensely but...but he couldn't move back now. He had to favor one. He sat there as you recounted him your day. He couldn't help but notice the blood creeping up your cheeks when you caught him staring or the way you moved your hand through your brown locks. The way you served him extra food or the way you kept asking if he was fine or no?
He wanted to scream no and tell you to stop caring for him so much. That he doesn't deserve you or your love. It doesn't matter how much food you serve him or how many kisses you shower him with, or how much effort you put in to look good for him because in the end, he is just going to break your heart.
The more he looked at your zealous figure and anticipation in your eyes the more the lump grew in his throat. He came home early today so he could end everything but now...now every ounce of courage that he gathered since morning was leaving his body.
He felt weak and incapable of even moving his limbs. But then decided that now is not the time and that he would do it first thing in the morning.
"Why...?" you questioned as hot tears rolled down your cheeks.
His heartache was like a wolf eating at his chest, tearing its way to his trembling heart. It threatened to devour him, eat him whole and leave nothing but scraps behind. but he wouldn't let that happen, he wouldn't let her know that he is weak, not now.
"It's for the best...for both of us..."
"No please, please Tae..." you walked closer and wrapped your hands around him. "...please...we can work it out..."
He didn't wrap his hand around you. The warmth of your body melting his insides. For the first time after his decision he doubted if he could sincerely spend his life without your warm hugs?
"Please..." you breathed as your tears stained his shirt. But these stains can be removed, he wondered what he will do with the stains that you are leaving on his soul...
He swallowed twice before answering "I-I can't do it anymore...I have to concentrate on my career...I am sorry..."
When your sobs increased and you didn't attempt to move away from him, with his unsteady hands he unwrapped your arms from around him and walked towards the door.
"Taehyung..." you sniffled. He turned around with a straight face. "Please...please don't go...I promise...we will somehow work it out...just...just don't go, please...I need you..."
He wanted to run back to you and hold you so tight that you forget every agony he ever caused but it was done. His heart was hammering against his ribs, while his body felt benumbed. He had seen you crying before, but not like this. He had never seen you so vulnerable.
"You can stay here if you want..."
"Taehyung..."
"I-I am sorry..." he could overhear your outcry as he bolted the door behind him but it was not till he reached the parking lot that he finally let go and slumped down as his tears fell one after the other. And just when he thought that he was done, fresh tears rolled down his cheeks.
The wound was not visible but you both were bleeding.
**************
His view blurred as he stared in space, soaring through the lane of memories. Of your memories. Your wails ringing in his ears, threatening, even today, to tear his ear drums. The dress which he himself had chosen for you, your face all messed up and your hair all tangled. Guilt crept up his body and chilled his bones.
He stepped out of his thoughts and sipped his drink as he blinked away his tears. The warm alcohol soothing his nerves. He scanned around the dancing bodies a few of them familiar while the one he was looking for was nowhere to be seen.
He must be in some corner enjoying his time. Well, Taehyung thought to himself, at least someone has the right to enjoy themselves.
Turning around in his seat he gulped down the last sip of his tribulation and set the mug down. His hands reaching the back pocket of his jean as he took out his wallet. Just as he was about to remove the crisp green note the tiny bell on the main door jingled as cold air gushed in, laced with a few giggles.
And not understanding why but Taehyung felt a quiver run down his spine and instantly he turned in his seat towards the newly arrived people. He knew that he will be met with unfamiliar faces but deep down, he still wanted to have a glance.
He felt a grip of silent panic, wild eyes, heart racing, brain on fire, like a cluster bomb exploding in his brain, turned his brain to a mental soup of conflicting instructions all this and he still felt as if his heart will explode as the vision of your smiling face comes into view.
Even with the deafening music in his ambience, he could still hear his heart pulsate in eagerness like a puppy after they see their owner after a long time.
"---------..." he whispered. Your name sounding strange on his tongue but still so familiar and homely.
For so long he was dying to see you, to meet you, to feel you in his arms. Every night when he felt lonely he would hug the nearest pillow visualizing it to be you, but unfortunately it failed to provide him with the warmth of your body and so now, as he watches you laugh, and sing and dance along with your small group of friends he felt very desperate to hold you.
Initially he was concerned that maybe he was hallucinating. Since he was missing you so much, his brain must be playing tricks on him but with each passing minute he realized that indeed you were present there. Just a few steps away from him. Soon he became sacred even to blink, in case you somehow dissolve in this beautiful night.
Tonight, he had walked in this bar with the same gloomy state with an intention of having a beer or two, enjoy the music and then walk back home quietly.
But never in his wildest dream did he imagined seeing you.
But soon his exhilaration turned into dread when he recalled why in the first place did he not look for you.
It was purely because he was a wimp. He was afraid that if he does find you, you would simply reject him or deny accepting him back. And he didn't blame you. The way he had left you crying and never even turning to check if you were doing fine would be enough reason for your actions.
Even in these wavering emotions he couldn't help but smile as he watched you laughing and chatting around with your friends. Your smile had always been his favorite. But then he felt another sting of pain. What if you don't remember him at all? What if you have effortlessly and contentedly moved on? Did you even miss him? Or talk about him at least once? But as he looked at you enjoy yourself, he realized that it was quiet evident that you have moved on and that you were happy.
Taehyung was so engrossed at looking at your stunning face while his mind was full of possibilities that he didn't notice when you turned away from your friends and was skimming the place. When your eyes scanned the entire room, and didn't catch him he relaxed and felt safe to look at you. But his heart stopped thumping, as the very next instant you raised your eyes directly in his direction and met his.

i’m not quite sure where i lie with this entire account because i have no idea how to do anything on this site anymore. i’m hurt. that is all.
you put your everything in a person since you have met them. trust. i confided in shit that i never say first hand. truth be told, i was afraid. i don’t make friends with people i meet over the internet and that go to my school. i always felt it was weird. but i was alone. i had two best friends, at the time, with not that much common interests as me. i had never seen you or talked to you but we went to the same school for 3 semesters and your last one i met you. it was something, for the both of us. i had been fighting with my ex, Gabriel, way too much. and well, way too long. i heard about you, but i didn’t quite know you. i was still afraid of you. i felt that if i was too close to you, i would get hurt. and boy, was i right. if i sound really, really fucking stupid, its because i am. i felt this connection that i couldn’t help but run away from. the mental abuse from Gabriel hadn’t left and i was afraid that you would still leave me. but in the late summer we got really, really close. we went to warped tour together, i met Steven, i got a new job, we worked right beside each other and everything was so good to me. you got your license in august i believe. we went everywhere, i remember the late night trips to wherever the fuck. and you were so transparent. i was still recovering from what Gabriel had done to me. fuck, i still am. senior year started, for me, and i liked it a lot in the beginning even though i sat alone til i found Vincent. i would still look forward to the days i see you. i miss Stephanie too. she changed, maybe i did too. but she was the one encouraging me to try things with you. i had no shame kissing you after the disgusting “rat” dairy queen blizzards. i remember you saying “i hate you” and i asked you, “why?” “because i really want to make out with you right now.” that was so easy for you to tell me. i loved it so much, i really needed to kiss you. we started getting to getting more comfortable, going out and going to your house more. when i would talk out my ass that resulted into us having sex. it was a friday, and i wore a mustard longsleeve (which i never wore again) and a blue skirt, and fucking red lipstick. rookie mistake. you wore a white shirt, one of them, and those khaki jeans with those vans you wore to warped tour. you still had your long hair. and i simply remember lifting my skirt and helping you get inside. i didn’t want to moan, or scream, or say anything. i couldn’t breathe. it felt good. it hurt, but you forget about that when you feel safe. i remember when you were done just being in shock, but i also cried. and that was the first time i had a senseless cry. the way you handled it made me so happy. and i never got to thank you. it doesn’t matter though. i always wanted you to ask me to be your girlfriend. i always denied that you liked me because you never simply wanted to just ask me. and it made me think you weren’t serious. october came around and i was afraid of losing you because shit just got rocky with my mom and friends and school. and i wanted to stop. on the inside i really just wanted you to fight and tell me no. but you are not the type of person to fight for what you want. at all. and i learned that so early. thought one day you would. but even today. you just never do. but you have changed. and going down this timeline, i found the changes in december. you were always gone. fucking me and leaving. you would still take care of me but you were fucking using me. and i was okay with that but then i just had to fucking get something out of you. you would blame ME for being the issue of why we didn’t become something sooner. but it was always you. i always blame myself for the shit you do. i loved you so much, i tried giving everything i could and just trying to get you to talk to me. i confided into my deepest darkest fucking secrets. and i enjoyed things with you. i did the coolest things with you. i always told you how fascinated i was with our relationship and your answers were always so vague. i love you. but you’re not the same. and getting that information from your ex, hurts even more. you have always denied it, but inside my head, i knew it was true. i’m not mad that you were always dissatisfied. i just wish you could’ve told me. so for once i could do something right for you. i’m sorry i left but i’m coming back. i just can’t believe you did this to me. you always talked about hating yourself. but i can fucking see why. you’re a fucking coward. you are going through something that you don’t open to me about but you have hurt me because of it. and i’m not around anymore. you just let things happen. you’re never the type to own up. you keep your secrets. what could you possibly be so afraid of? lying and hiding, gets you absolutely nowhere. you are a fucking child. man the fuck up. i would have been much better knowing the truth than not. i find out shit. and you still cant face me. what am i going to do? what is it that you want to hear? what is it that you don’t want to hear? not a single text or call. im under the impression i was never loved. and you can’t even tell me otherwise. i want to know how you feel. it hurts me that you cant tell me anymore, when all i ever wanted was to take care of you as much as i can. one day i hope you understand what its like to love someone and want to give them the entire world. i really do. because i have admired you so much from the day we met. you’re smart, compassionate, creative, and you are carefree. fucking literally. and i might never get the chance to speak to you ever again, because of you being fucking hardheaded. i really appreciate everything we have ever done in the past year. the concerts, the movies, the photoshoots, the adventures, the sex, the food, prom, graduation, my birthday, free week, hamilton, the cd’s, the tea and coffee, the records, the cards, the kisses and hugs. i thank you for helping me figure out what true love is like. i never want to feel it again. and i can still feel your touch, it hurts. i want your kiss and everything fucking hurts. but you have made it far clear that im not for you anymore. and im sorry that im not good enough, and never was. i always fantasized of us when i got back. me having a job and a place and everything. eating with you. going to school. getting a cat. having you over and having sex watching a movie, one of your VHS tapes. getting matching tattoos. going to a concert in austin and dancing. or a club. having late night talks. but you made it clear that i don’t mean shit to your future.  it fucking sucks. im sorry i am not well enough for your heart. but thank you for this. something i didn’t quite need. i wanted the happy ending. but that ends with you. and maybe i will hear from you again. maybe you will open to me. but you seem done. so goodbye. xoxo.
