Nobody asked but I can't get it out of my head so here are my thoughts on Layla x the moon boys:
Marc: First off, any feelings she had for Marc are dead and gone. Maybe he didn't kill her dad personally, but he was there and did nothing and she can't love him with that hanging over her head. Maybe eventually she'll forgive him enough to be close friends with him, but it'll take a while. Ofc she still cares abt him and his wellbeing/safety but unless they're in a life-threatening situation I feel like they would have a very professional/work only relationship. This crushed Marc but he understands why she had to do this.
Steven: Steven is different than Marc. He's honest and caring and nerds out with her about artifacts and dig sites. They do get crushes on each other and maybe go on a date or two in addition to the kiss in the show but ultimately Layla decides that she doesn't want to date him. It's not that she doesn't like him, it's just that she's worried that her feelings for him are just left over from Marc and what she wishes Marc could be. She knows that's not fair to him because he's his own person and so she ends it. (Also, he looks exactly like Marc which is another thing Steven can't control and she doesn't want to make him suffer through all her complicated feelings associated with Marc.) Steven is initially heartbroken but after some introspection, realizes that his "crush" on her was actually just him excited to have a companion in general, not necessarily romantic feelings. They stay really good friends and still go to museums and nerd out and basically just do all the stuff they were doing anyway.
Jake: Nobody knows abt Jake's existence but if/when Layla meets him it's just meeting a stranger. They don't know each other so there's that period of politeness and making sure they make good impressions on each other. She's a bit intimidated by how ruthless he can be when he fights but she knows that he knows that she's a force to be reckoned with and isn't too worried abt her own safety. And honestly, she's not in a place to judge him for how violent he can get. Jake knows she can handle herself and doesn't worry abt her nearly as much as Marc or Steven. They become those besties who are super close, judge you together, and occasionally commit crimes.

Steven Grant/Sugar Mommy!Reader
Word count: 5.8k
Series Summary: You meet Steven in a museum gift shop and feel an instant connection. Before you walk out the door you decide, perhaps against your better judgment, that you need him to be your sugar baby. Now you just need him to let you treat him right.
Tumblr media
You open your eyes to morning sunlight streaming through the window and an empty bed. Currently, that’s the norm for you and isn’t unusual. But you distinctly remember Steven crawling into bed with you last night.
There haven’t been any more disappearing acts since the first night he stayed at your apartment, but it’s the first thing on your mind when he isn’t beside you.
Maybe he went back to his room.
Maybe he’s in the bathroom.
Maybe it means nothing. You’re in a foreign country, after all; Steven doesn’t exactly have anywhere to go.
You close your eyes and try to relax, but now you’re just thinking of him having another sleepwalking episode and all the places he could get lost in an unfamiliar country. With that thought in your head, you rip off the sheets and jump out of bed, needing to find Steven and know he’s okay. You don’t care that he’s not in bed with you so long as he’s still here.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are empty.
Notably, Steven’s bed doesn’t look like it’s been touched.
You glance at the living room—still no Steven—and are about to rush toward the door to check the locks when you hear something behind you.
“Oh no. I wanted to wake you,” Steven pouts.
You quickly spin around and find him standing in the doorway to the terrace.
“W-what?” you sputter as you stare, confused.
“I was going to wake you for breakfast.” Steven gestures through the doorway toward the table that is absolutely overflowing with food. “I wanted it to be a surprise.”
Your shoulders relax, tension flowing out of you. Your heart is steadily slowing down. “Oh, Steven…”
“Are you alright?” he asks, stepping toward you. “You looked scared there for a second.”
You almost feel silly for being so worried. “It’s nothing.” You give a placating smile. “Let me wash my face, and I’ll be right back out.”
Steven’s hand is on your arm before you can step away.
“Talk to me. Please?” Steven asks softly, eyes full of concern.
It’s a strange feeling having your baby ask after you out of genuine concern. It’s not like the others were cold or particularly distant, but most understood the business arrangement…differently than Steven.
He says your name.
“I thought…you might have had another blackout. I was worried when you weren’t in bed,” you finally admit. You usually don’t share your worries with your babies, no matter what they are. You want them to see you as steadfast and confident. Unafraid.
But ever since the start, everything has been different with Steven.
He pulls you to him, his arms wrapping tightly around you. His lips brush against your temple. “I’m so sorry, love. I didn’t mean to scare you like that.”
Your arms slowly wrap around Steven. You don’t think you’ve ever experienced a role reversal like this. Typically, you’re the one comforting someone, be it friends or family, or babies. You tend to keep things close to your chest and worry over others more than you should. You’re not sure what to make of this.
You love taking care of your babies. It’s the main reason you keep having them. But this—Steven’s arms around you, trying to protect you from your worries—is nice too.
Finally, you settle into him with a sigh. “Don’t take this to mean you shouldn’t tell me if it happens again,” you insist, having a feeling Steven might try to pull something like that.
He pulls away from you enough to look you in the eye. “No secrets, yeah?”
You blink at him, stunned. Something else that’s new for you. A new kind of worry tries to bubble up within you, but you push it down and ignore it.
“No secrets,” you repeat softly.
When he kisses you, you forget how to breathe. Then he guides you onto the terrace, pulls out a chair for you, and starts filling your plate.
As you look at Steven across the table over breakfast, you can’t help but think how lucky you are to have him, to have met him.
An unfamiliar warmth spreads through your chest. Similar to what you’ve felt for him before but…different. You don’t think about what it means.
Tumblr media
“What are we doing today?” Steven asks after breakfast, once you’re both ready for the day. He looks you up and down, likely noting that you’re not as made up as you usually are.
“I guess you were half asleep when I mentioned a spa day last night,” you tease.
“What? No! I remember everything you say,” Steven insists dramatically, hand on his heart.
“So you remember how I said how much I wanted to visit the casino before we go back home?” You raise an eyebrow, carefully watching his face for a reaction.
“A-Absolutely, I do,” Steven answers, though his brow is furrowed, confused.
“You liar!” you cry, walking over to poke Steven in the stomach, a grin on your face. “I never said anything like that. It’s like you don’t even know me.”
Steven jumps back, raising his arms to defend himself. “Okay, now that makes more sense. I’m sorry, love.”
You stop your assault and wrap your arms around him instead. “You have nothing to be sorry for, baby. Besides, I don’t think I could ever be mad at you.”
Steven looks at you adoringly. “How did I get so lucky?” he asks softly, more to himself than to you.
“Just by being you,” you answer anyway.
Steven looks away, bashful. “I’m nothing special.”
Taking his chin in one hand, you turn his face back toward you. “Now that’s just not true. Haven’t I taught you better than that?” you lightly scold. There’s no real heat to your words, but you’ve been trying to build up Steven’s self-worth for months.
You pause, thinking for a second. “Do you not believe me because I’m paying you?”
You don’t mean for the words to come out sounding so vulnerable, but they do. It saddens you a little to think that Steven might not be taking your words to heart.
You enjoy it when you get complimented like that, especially since it’s so rare for it to happen because of your professional and financial position and…lack of many close relationships. However sincere you are, you suppose you can understand why Steven would hesitate to believe you.
“No!” Steven argues. “It’s not that I think less of you because of our…relationship. It’s just…” he pauses, taking a breath. “I’m not like you. I’ve never done anything half as remarkable as you. Never started my own company. Never made a vast fortune. I’m just…me. Nothing exciting ever happened to me before I met you.”
That, at least, eases your worries about Steven having doubts about you. You don’t like the way he’s talking, though.
“You don’t have to have changed the world or been on exciting adventures to be remarkable. I like you exactly as you are. And there’s absolutely nothing ‘just’ about Steven Grant.”
Steven’s grip tightens around your waist, and his throat bobs, holding something back.
“Do I need to make you repeat how special you are again?”
He shakes his head, giving you a soft smile. “No.”
Then he’s kissing you, slow and gentle but filled with a seemingly newfound passion. One hand trails up your back, pressing you into Steven’s chest before it stops at the nape of your neck, holding you in place.
Your sense of balance shifts, and you realize Steven is tipping you back slightly. Though you trust he’d never let you fall, you cling to him. In a way, Steven has you trapped, held so tightly you can’t escape if you wanted to.
But you never want to.
If Steven wants to kiss you like this, leaving you utterly breathless for the rest of eternity, you’ll let him.
It occurs to you, then, that you might be a little fucked.
Tumblr media
You’ve never seen Steven anything but fully clothed before. He’s never asked or even hinted that he wanted anything else, and you’re more than happy to respect his boundaries. It’s as you said when you explained everything to him in the beginning: you’re not going to force him to do anything and he has to be the one to initiate new interactions. 
That is to say, you can’t help but stare at Steven, clad only in the swim trunks you bought for him before the trip. You’ve seen half-dressed men before. Hell, you’ve seen completely naked men before. But the first time seeing an inch of skin of a new partner always excites you.
The two of you had made it to the thermal baths, just a short trip from the hotel. The natural heat of the water was soothing after the brisk morning air, but it was nothing compared to the heat in your face when you saw Steven step out of the changing room.
“And what you are you looking at?” Steven teases. He knows fully well what you’re staring at based on his smirk. You’re not exactly hiding it.
“Just admiring how handsome my baby is and watching the water glisten on his skin.” Steven flushes at that, even though he initiated it. What was he expecting? All you have for him are compliments. Even still, he is stunned by your boldness. You weren’t lying either; untrue flattery never sat right with you.
You’ve held Steven enough times to know he wasn’t exactly hiding much softness under his baggy clothes, but it was still a bit of a surprise to see the bit of defined muscle of his torso and arms. His stomach isn’t overly defined, but you know that cultivated abs are more for aesthetics than strength. You’ve no doubt that Steven is physically stronger than people would guess at first glance, especially when he’s done up as a gift shop clerk.
“If anything, I should be admiring you, not the other way around,” Steven says, cheeks still red.
“Steven, have you been staring at me?” You bring your arms across your chest, acting scandalized.
Steven sputters and averts his eyes even though you’re perfectly decent. “Don’t act like you don’t enjoy it.”
You float closer to him, careful not to touch him. It would be very bad for you if you did. “Do you like looking at me?”
“Of course I do,” Steven says softly, eyes returning to you, drifting over your form. “You’re beautiful.”
You tell yourself the heat in your cheeks is from the water. It’s always been from the water.
Even though you know you probably shouldn’t, you quietly ask, “Do you like it when I look at you?”
You can’t take your eyes off Steven; at your words, you see his pupils dilate ever so slightly. He nods, lips parted.
“Say it,” you order. You lift one hand, trailing your fingers down Steven’s arm and making him shiver despite the heat engulfing him. You’re treading into dangerous territory. But you can’t help it, and Steven appears…very receptive.
“Yes,” he answers automatically, his eyes never leaving yours.
You drift closer still, now chest to chest, with only a handspan separating you. Your eyes fall to his mouth, your own parting when you catch his tongue quickly darting out to wet his lips.
A splash behind you startles you, sending you surging forward straight into Steven’s chest. His arms automatically raise to hold you, hands resting respectfully on your back, just under your shoulder blades. Suddenly, you’re reminded of where you are: in a public bath, surrounded by people. This is the last place you should be having…thoughts about your baby, who has, so far, expressed zero interest in a more physical relationship.
Even though you’ve had Steven in your arms countless times, it feels different now, with so little fabric separating you from his bare chest. You quickly move away, though you grab his hand as you always do. Even with the heat of the water, he feels different.
Is he warmer than usual?
“Let’s go over here,” you say, shaking the thought from your head and needing to separate yourself from the moment. “There’s fewer people. We should be able to enjoy the water more.”
You start dragging Steven behind you, and he follows along without argument or any words, for that matter. You’re not sure what he’s thinking; you can’t look him in the eye quite yet.
You manage to control yourself and your thoughts enough to enjoy that water. It’s not a regular pool, so there’s no playing or splashing around. Swimming is minimal as the water is only about waist high for the average person.
People are meant to relax in the waters and have a therapeutic experience while the minerals in the water soak into and rejuvenate the skin.
You and Steven sit on one side of the large pool, taking advantage of the built-in underwater ledge that surrounds the entirety of the curved edges. This particular pool is outside, so the two of you are able to enjoy the scenic views that were carefully curated so as not to ruin patrons’ sightlines with modern buildings.
You manage to not think about your hands on Steven’s bare chest.
Eventually, once your skin is primed and supple, you leave the thermal baths to go to your next destination: the spa. Specifically for a couple’s massage and then later a facial for you.
The only thing separating a couple’s massage from a solo one is the simple fact you’re in the same room as your partner. Even more intimate than being in swimming attire together, you’ll be partially undressed, a towel covering your lower half. Granted, you’ll be face down on a table the entire time, but still.
“We don’t have to do it together,” you say when you explain the procedure to Steven. Your appointment is at the hotel’s on-site spa, so you technically don’t have to undress around each other; you get ready in separate bedrooms and just wear your robes down to the spa.
You don’t have an issue being unclothed around your babies. Nudity isn’t inherently sexual, and you don’t consider this a sexual situation. You’re here to relax while a stranger eases the semi-permanent tension from your muscles.
But that’s your perspective, which doesn’t mean it aligns with Steven’s.
“We can always do separate rooms,” you continue, wanting to give Steven every out. Since your relationship hasn’t progressed past kissing, you’re unsure what his feelings will be. Yes, he admitted to staring at you in the pool, but you were still covered then.
“I want to be with you,” he insists. “I’m fine, I swear.” He doesn’t look at you, and his voice is slightly higher pitched than usual. He’s nervous at the very least, but if he says he’s fine, you won’t argue. He’s more than capable of making decisions for himself.
When the two of you are led to the massage room, you purposefully keep your back to Steven as much as possible as you disrobe. Even without the robe, neither of you is completely naked, still having some sort of bottom on. But you have no desire to make Steven uncomfortable with your casual nakedness.
Will he still try to look, though?
A little excited, you crawl onto the table and glance at Steven from the corner of your eye.
You fight the frown that attempts to form when you see he’s already on his table, face carefully set in the opening at the top and arms obediently at his sides.
Then there’s a knock on the door, and you have no choice but to lie down.
“Do you get massages often?” Steven asks you as the masseuses begin. You’ve been together for months, but this could just be something that hasn’t been brought up before.
“Not as often as I would like,” you sigh as your masseuse works out a particularly stubborn knot from your shoulder. “I feel like I never have the time, so I always book one whenever I go on a trip. Have you ever had one?”
“No,” Steven manages before letting out a satisfied groan.
What part gets him to make that sound?
“Sorry,” he says, and you think he’s apologizing to his masseuse. “More tense than I thought.”
After a moment and another unexpectedly pleased sound from Steven, he addresses you. “You know, love, you could—” He abruptly cuts himself off, the airy tone to his voice suddenly gone, as if he’s coming back to himself.
You wait for him to continue, but he doesn’t, and with your head down and forced to look at the floor, you’re unable to read his body language.
“I could what?” you prompt, confused.
“It’s nothing.” The answer comes quickly.
You almost ask if he’s sure, try to encourage him to finish his thought, but as hands glide over your back, you change your mind. It’s possible that whatever Steven meant to say is for your ears only.
The rest of the appointment passes in relative silence with only a pleased sigh from you here and there. You keep your ears open, hoping for something else from Steven, but he doesn’t let out another sound.
In other situations, that just wouldn’t do.
Stop it.
You would shake yourself if you could.
Once the massage is over, your mind buzzes more than it usually does after what is supposed to be a relaxing session. Steven is constantly bouncing around your mind today, and a part of you knows that isn’t necessarily a good thing.
You want to scold yourself for your mild obsession with your baby. One-sided attachments that go too deep always end badly.
But is it one-sided? He wants you to meet his mother, after all.
“Love?” Steven calls, pulling you from your thoughts. You’ve been standing with your back to him, staring off into the distance since you got off the table.
“Sorry, just thinking,” you say, finally turning to face him. Your eyes immediately lock onto his swollen lower lip. Reaching up, you run your thumb along it. It’s flushed red and has definitely been bitten. “I know I didn’t do that.” You look at him, eyebrow raised.
Steven flushes, his cheeks matching his lip. “I was trying to be quiet,” he answers softly. Likely embarrassed by the sounds he was making, you muse.
“You poor thing.” You keep rubbing your thumb along his lips. Then, as if hypnotized, you can’t think of anything else besides kissing him.
So you do.
You aim only for his lower lip, pressing gently against it as if to soothe a hurt.
“All better?” you ask when you pull away.
Steven nods, and your hand falls from his face to land on his chest, where you bury it in the fluffy fabric.
“I have my facial next. Do you want to try one?” You’re genuinely curious. Maybe he wants to get into skincare. Your eyes scan his face, pinpointing potential treatment areas.
“I’m not sure that’s for me,” Steven says, taking your free hand and leading you toward the door.
“Okay. Are you going to relax in the room then?”
“I dunno. Maybe I’ll do a little shopping while you’re busy.”
“Make sure to buy yourself something pretty,” you say as you and Steven are about to part ways. He smiles at you, squeezing your hand before leaving.
Tumblr media
“Today wasn’t too boring for you, was it?” you ask Steven. Now after dinner, the two of you are in your usual place: lounging on the couch.
Even though you plan these vacations based on your preferences, you still want your babies to have fun. Steven enjoyed the park and the impromptu visit to the bookshop yesterday, but some men would rather be caught dead than go on a spa trip.
It may be the standard that sugar babies create a character that’ll please their mommy or daddy rather than be their true selves one hundred percent of the time, but you want Steven in particular to be entirely honest with you.
“Not at all! I don’t think I’ve ever been so relaxed, to be honest,” Steven answers. He’s at one end of the couch while you’re at the other, both of your legs up on the cushions and tangled together. He knocks one foot into your tight. “I would have told you before we did anything if I wasn’t interested.”
He did bow out of getting a facial, but that was almost a given. It would have been more surprising if he had said yes. A baby lying about certain things is expected. They do what they have to in order to keep their jobs.
“Are you sure? Because aside from today, you’ve never told me no before.” You never questioned it, but now you can’t help but think there’s a chance you’ve misread something or done something wrong.
Before you had money, finding people interested in the same things as you or doing certain activities you favored was few and far between. Making and maintaining friends can be a difficult endeavor. And now that you do have money, anyone new in your life is expecting more higher-class activities than walking through a park. Sure, that park may be in Germany across from a very nice hotel, but it’s still a park, and finding amiable friends is even harder now.
Steven laughs. “Alright, if you really want, I’ll get a facial.” You smile at his teasing, but he must see something in your expression. “I always say yes because I like spending time with you. I like the things we do together. You once said you’d never make me do anything I was uncomfortable with, and you never have.”
He then untangles his legs from yours and gets off the couch, only to step toward you and sit by your hip on the edge of your cushion. He takes your hands in his. “I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy as I am when I’m with you. And just because you pay me,” he says it flippantly, like it doesn’t matter at all. Like it isn’t why he’s doing this. “Doesn’t mean I’d let you walk all over me.”
“What about Donna?” you can’t help but ask. Steven’s words are sweet; they make your heart race, but you find them hard to believe.
Steven fumbles a bit but quickly says, “That’s completely different. Technically, she doesn’t pay me. Not to mention, everyone knows I don’t like Donna. And…”
He goes quiet, his eyes wandering down your face. 
“And?” you ask breathlessly, needing him to keep talking despite your skepticism.
“And I definitely don’t want to kiss her.”
Heat flashes through you as Steven takes your face in his hands and leans into you. His lips meet yours, soft but urgent as if he could kiss the doubt from you.
And it works. For now.
You reach up, fisting your hands into his shirt to keep him close. You stay like that for a while, Steven wanting to thoroughly assure you of his honest honesty, his affection.
When you finally part, Steven staying at your side, you’re able to ask the question that’s been plaguing you for hours.
“What were you going to say during the massage?”
Steven freezes for a moment, caught off-guard. Then his face immediately starts to flush, exciting you. His hands are no longer on your face, instead resting in his lap. You reach out and rest one hand on his, patiently waiting for him to work up the nerve.
“It can’t be that bad,” you encourage. “You almost let it slip earlier.”
“It’s inappropriate,” he mumbles, suddenly shy as if he hadn’t just been making out with you.
“I’ll be the judge of that.”
Steven takes a breath, steadying himself. “You know…you could give me a massage anytime.”
“Oh?” You raise an eyebrow, trying to ignore the electricity dancing along your skin. He’s gotten better about asking you for things, with the exception of more intimate touches.
“I just think…” he hesitates but finally meets your eyes, his pupils dilated. “It’s something a good mummy would do.”
“That’s not inappropriate at all,” you purr as you start running your hand up Steven’s arm. “But what about the other way around? Wouldn’t a good baby want to give his mommy a massage?”
“We can do that too,” he agrees eagerly. He’s starting to get jittery now that he knows you’re receptive. “I’m fine with either.”
“Good to know,” you murmur, more to yourself than to him. Your hand stops on his bicep, and you squeeze, feeling the muscle hidden underneath his shirt. You can’t wait to get your hands on him properly, especially after what brushing against him in the baths did to you. “It’ll have to wait until we get home, though.”
Your hand drops from Steven, and you fall back into the arm of the couch.
“W-what? Why? Steven practically whines, and a grin blooms across your face. You can’t contain it; you don’t want to.
You don’t say anything at first, instead looking your baby up and down as he squirms.
“It’ll be something to look forward to. And it’ll give me a reason to not keep you here all to myself.”
You lean forward, your lips finding Steven’s neck in a fleeting kiss. He shivers under your touch.
“That wouldn’t be so bad, would it?” he asks breathlessly, his eyes blown black.
“Not at all,” you agree and kiss him again.
Tumblr media
You said nothing when, after getting ready for bed, you walked out of the ensuite bathroom and saw Steven in your bed. He had the sheets pulled up to his chin, watching you, waiting. He said nothing as you crawled into what had been designated as your side of the bed.
Before settling down, you gave Steven a chaste kiss on the cheek and said, “Night, Steven.”
He wished you a good night with a smile and a soft murmur of your name. You both fell asleep soon after.
Depending on the time of night, on how long you’ve been asleep, you’re not the lightest of sleepers. Random sounds throughout the night hardly ever wake you, but tonight, something does.
Eyes bleary with sleep and mind still foggy, you don’t realize what you see at first.
A dark shape standing by the window on the other side of the room. Rumblings that start as nothing but turn into…arguing?
Then you notice the empty side of the bed, sheets barely disturbed as if they were moved back into place. You start gaining clarity.
“Steven?” you call, your voice scratchy. “What are you doing?”
You don’t know what time it is, but surely it’s late.
Steven immediately stops talking. He turns away from the window and walks back to the bed, his movements somewhat stiff.
When he gets in, he doesn’t inch his way closer like he did before. Instead, Steven seems to be staying as far away as possible.
“Go back to sleep. Everything is fine,” he says softly. 
You don’t argue. Your eyes were already half closed as soon as he touched the sheets. It registers for a brief moment that something about Steven’s voice sounds…off, but you fall asleep before you can think about what it means.
Tumblr media
“What were you doing last night? By the window?” you ask in the morning over breakfast.
“Pardon?” Steven asks, lifting his fork to his mouth.
“I woke up, and you were just standing by the window. I hear you talking. Was it your mom?”
Steven only looks confused, but then understanding and dread wash over you both.
Steven’s fork falls onto his plate with a clatter as he covers his face with both hands.
“It happened again,” he quietly cries. You rush to his side, pulling him to you.
“It wasn’t so bad. You answered when I called, and I don’t think you even left the room,” you try to reassure him.
Steven’s arms slide around your waist as he buries his face in your stomach. “What if it’s worse next time? The first time it happened, I wandered the city! I don’t remember anything that happened last night. And you said I was talking? To who? About what?”
He smothers a distressed sound against you.
“I don’t know, but you seemed to know who I was and where you were—enough to know to get into bed, at least.” You don’t think your words comfort him. One hand moves to brush through his curls. “We’ll figure this out. I promise,” you say with a confidence you don’t quite feel.
Tumblr media
The morning’s revelation sours the mood for the remaining day of your vacation. Steven tries to remain in good spirits, but his worry about his sleepwalking hangs like a cloud over his head.
Though he loved everywhere else you had taken him, the tour of the ruins of a once great castle didn’t seem to hold his interest as much, try as he might to absorb the history the guide was providing and taking more photos.
The trip to the airport is silent. You’ve never been good at comforting people, often unable to find the words. You don’t know what else to say to Steven other than what you already have. What you can do, though, is be there for him.
For what you lack in words, you make up for in other ways. Making sure he ate, packing his things for him, holding his hand, and refusing to let go.
If your peers could see how you’re treating Steven, they would probably sneer and look down on you. Sugar babies are for providing comfort, in various forms, in exchange for material and financial gain. They aren’t meant to be looked after like children. But Steven is also in a vulnerable state, needing extra care where he usually wouldn’t.
Though you have no interest in children and don’t see Steven as one, you need somewhere to express your caring tendencies and affection. Sugar babies have always been the best and safest outlet for you. If your positions were reversed, you hope someone as kind as Steven would show the same care toward you.
“I’m sorry I ruined our holiday,” Steven quietly says as the jet starts moving. These are his first words in what you’re sure have been hours.
“You didn’t ruin it,” you assure with a shake of your head. You cradle his face in one hand and stroke your thumb across his cheek. “I had a great time because I got to spend it with you.”
“But I did. Ruin it, I mean.” Despite his disagreement, he doesn’t do anything to move away from you. “First with the sleepwalking, then the moping around. And then I felt bad for not talking, so I wanted to talk even less. I’ve been horrible to you.”
You shake your head again. “You haven’t—”
“Hush,” Steven cuts you off. You’re a little shocked, to say the least. He’s never done that before. “There’s something else. I thought about waiting for a better time since I didn’t get it as an apology, but I don’t want to wait.”
“What are you…” you trail off as Steven turns away from you and leans down to grab the backpack he kept at his feet instead of stowing away.
Finding whatever he’s looking for, he keeps his hand in the bag, and his attention falls back to you.
“That wasn’t how our last day should have ended, and I’m really sorry. This was how it should have ended.” Steven quickly pulls his hand out of his backpack and thrusts a small, hinged red box toward you. It’s perfectly square and is even tied with a white ribbon.
You stare at it, unmoving. “You got me a gift?”
Steven nods, and your heart skips a beat.
You carefully take the small box from his hand. People don’t…give you gifts. Your brain short circuits a little.
“When did you even get this?” You think back, trying to remember if you got any notifications that could tell you when and where Steven bought it.
“When you were getting your facial. I went on a trip around town.” You look up at Steven, then. You definitely didn’t know about that. “I wanted to find the perfect gift for you while we were here.”
“You didn’t use your card.” An accusation filled with confusion.
“I did use my card, just not the one you gave me. I wasn’t going to make you pay for your own gift.” He fidgets a little and gets a nervous look that has nothing to do with the jet taking flight. “Open it? Please?”
You examine the box again. Recognizing the shape, you can guess that it’s jewelry inside, but not what it looks like. It could be anything, and who’s to say what Steven thinks you’ll like. Now you’re the nervous one.
You say a silent prayer, hoping you actually like the gift and won’t have to crush Steven when he still isn’t in the best state of mind.
Carefully tugging on the end of the ribbon, the bow falls apart and slides off the box. The hinges are stiff, but you ease the lid open and peer inside.
Lying on a pristine white cushion is a bracelet. A strand of small, delicate white pearls is twisted around a thin, wire-like band of gold that is shaped into a repeating wave. Beautiful in its simplicity and daintiness, you find it stunning.
“Oh, Steven…” you say breathlessly, lightly running your fingers along the bracelet. Then, you thrust the jewelry box back toward him and hold out your left hand. “Put it on.”
Not the most elegant way to ask, but you’re practically buzzing with joy that you can’t think to ask properly.
With shaking hands, Steven carefully lifts the bracelet from its cushion. He struggles with the clasp but eventually gets it wrapped around your wrist. Then he grabs your hand and presses his lips to your wrist, just above where the bracelet settles.
His lips are barely off your skin before you take his face in your hands and pull him into a heated kiss. You can barely control yourself, but judging by the moan Steven lets out, you’d say he’s not complaining. 
“I did a good job?” he asks when you pull away, his face flushed and lips swollen.
“You did amazing. I love it.” You kiss him again. “Thank you, Steven,” you say softly, trying to put as much feeling as you can into the words, hoping he knows you mean them.
You’re thanking him for more than the bracelet. You don’t say it out loud—you can’t—but you’re thanking him for caring about you. For thinking of you and wanting to show you that you mean something to him. He’s not doing it because he feels he has to; he’s doing it because he genuinely likes you.
It’s an unfamiliar feeling; you almost don’t know what to do about it.
One thing you can say for certain, though, is that it makes you l—care about Steven all the more.
For the rest of the flight, you’re curled up against Steven as much as you can be, your head resting on his shoulder. Your hand rests on his, your bracelet flashing in the sunlight.

series masterlist | AO3
You would’ve preferred to sit down inside your apartment in order to have this conversation rather than wander aimlessly on the hot streets of New York at almost midnight with your brother, but the surroundings are less important than the issue at hand.
Steve offered to buy frozen yogurt for the two of you, and fight as you might, you were persuaded to eat a little bowl of strawberry cold goodness. The two of you sat down at this little place on the corner, both clearly too uptight to initiate the conversation. So you clear your throat, exhaling slowly and steadily, and braced yourself.
“Steven—“
“I’m sorry.”
He blurts out the words as he stares at you, his eyes big and regretful.
“I’m so sorry for not supporting you more,” he continues, putting down the spoon. “And for not taking more of an interest in your hobby. It clearly means so much to you and I… I know I was a dickhead.”
“If you’re waiting for me to disagree it’s not going to happen.”
Steve chuckles, huffing.
“It’s more than a hobby, Steve,” you tell him. “In an ideal world where money wouldn’t be a thing, this would be my dream job. I’d do nothing else but write, travel and eat food all over the world. It’s why I took a job at the library. It’s the closest I’ll ever be to achieving that dream.”
“That makes me sad.”
“Made me sad too. But this is reality, and denying it won’t do me any favors.”
“You were always so much more mature and rational than me.”
Surprised, you make a face at him, unable to contain yourself. You’ve never heard such words from your brother.
“Me?” you say with a light chuckle escaping from your lips. “The eternal dreamer?”
“Yeah. Sure, you like to picture fictional worlds and get lost in them but you never lose sense of reality. You’re neither optimistic nor pessimistic. You just… live in the now.”
“You know… I’m actually really close to getting my own book published.”
Steve’s eyes widen further, his face revealing nothing but sheer excitement at this point, and the sight softens you; so much so that you smile involuntarily, rather flustered to finally share this news with him.
“That’s amazing, I’m so happy for you!” he nearly shouts.
“Thanks, thanks. You’re the third person I tell this to.”
“Third?”
“Javier and Sylvie know.”
“Oh. I see. Is it based on Star Wars? Or inspired by it?”
You frown. “No, you doofus, it’s my own story. If I were to publish a fanfiction for Star Wars, I’d definitely get sued by George Lucas.”
“Kind of defeats the point of writing it, doesn’t it?”
As happy as you felt a minute ago, you feel just as dumbfounded now.
“The point, again, is creativity,” you reply. “You start from there and you build towards your own independent stories.”
“Isn’t it a waste of time? I mean why not start right at—“
“Oh my God! You’ve been this way since we were kids. You always thought you’re superior, whether you realized it or not.”
“I didn’t. And I didn’t mean to insult—“
“You never mean to and yet you still do.”
Steve watches you stand up, hands on your hips and munching on your lower lip in what can only be described as anger finally bubbling up at the surface.
“Mom and dad always sung your praises because you chose to do things logically and fit into society while I was a bitter disappointment for spending time alone in my room, reading and writing,” you say. “You finished high school and went straight to the Academy and mom and dad couldn’t have been prouder. Me? I finished high school and went to study literature in college and it still wasn’t good enough.”
“Nobody ever said that, you know it’s not true.”
“They didn’t have to say it. I could see it in their eyes, the way they spoke. I was the weirdo who needed a social life while you were their beloved Steven, making his way into the real world at such a young age, being so brave. Mom and dad never stopped thinking there’s something wrong with me and they didn’t hesitate in telling me that with every chance they got. Passive aggressively but still.”
“There’s nothing wrong with you.”
“I know. I know that now. It took years of therapy to realize that.”
Steve watches you closely, filled with unrelenting guilt. He’s never seen you this decisive and mad, but he knows deep down he’s had it coming. All of the things he wished for your relationship are slowly going down the drain and he begins to fear that if he doesn’t say the right thing now and try his hardest to be here for you, he will lose you forever.
“I never meant to treat you any way other than with respect,” he says, his voice oddly hoarse. “I know I’m pushing things a lot of the time and I exaggerate and I have no right to intervene in your personal life, but it only comes from a place of needing to protect you.”
“I can protect myself, Steven.”
He huffs, grabbing your wrist and thus urging you to sit back down. “Do you remember in seventh grade when that group of idiots picked on you while you were reading on the playground? It rained heavily the day before and they snatched the book from your hands and threw it into a puddle, ruining it.”
“Yeah, I—I remember.”
“And then you told me that one of them, the bigger one, came onto you that same afternoon and forcefully kissed you. I had him suspended.”
“What—how?”
“I may have… broke his nose and threatened him to worse if he didn’t go to the principal’s office to confess to both forcing himself onto you and to bullying you.”
“Oh my—you never told me that.”
Steve shrugs. “Pretty sure that was the moment I started to be mindful of the guys that were around you. And when you got annoyed and purposely started dating the worst guys you could find, things have gotten wild.”
“You can say that again.”
You both chuckle.
“You know, the fact that you confided in Javi about your book before me or Connie is a bit hurtful,” Steve admits.
“Do you know why I told Javier first? Even before Sylvie? Because he asked me. It’s that simple. He took an interest in my passion and he actually cared about it. Hell, he turned my Star Wars story into a real book. He made it into a book just for me because he knows how much it means to me, and how much writing means to me.”
“He what?”
You nod. “Yeah. He didn’t mock me, he didn’t assume he knows better than me. He even encouraged me to keep going, which is how I’m close to finishing the editing part of my book faster than I anticipated. And this from a guy who was a complete stranger to me three months ago. You keep saying that Javier is your best friend but you don’t seem to treat him that way. You treat him like he’s bad news, like you didn’t go through all that shit together in Colombia. You need to get your shit together. Javier is a really good man. A good friend, and an overall good person.”
“I know he is, I’m just worried about him too like I’m worried about you. He hasn’t been the same since we came back from Colombia. It changed him in ways that I… I don’t know. I have Connie and Olivia and I feel so lucky but… he keeps to himself. He barely allows anyone in so I don’t know what it’s like inside his head. I was just so worried that you’d both rush into something you might not be ready for and end up hurting each other.”
You don’t realize you’ve been holding your breath for quite some time, but you certainly hadn’t felt the need to breathe, not in this moment when years of anger and misunderstandings culminate in the most honest sentences either of you have ever spoken to each other.
“Even if we did rush into a relationship or casual dating or whatever, it still wouldn’t be your call to make,” you remind him. “It’s not your decision, it’s mine and his. We’re both adults, tip-toeing around each other and around you because you have this weird protection fetish.”
“It’s not—“
“You know what I meant.”
“I—I’m really sorry, sis. I just wanted us to be closer. I went the wrong way about it, I know that.”
“You did. Trying to intimidate your best friend and controlling whoever your baby sister is around is not the way to go about this. You pulled the same shit in high school and look how that turned out.”
“I was worried about you, about both of you.”
“And you had reasons to, I’ll give you that. But now there is none. I’m okay. And Javier can talk if he feels like it.”
“You don’t know him the way I do.”
“Maybe not. But you don’t know him like I do, either.”
Steve calls out your name once you get ready to leave.
“Whom I date is none of your business,” you retort. “Not even if that someone was your best friend. Which is not. So cut it out already and get your shit together. If you can’t accept this, then leave me the hell alone.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I appreciate it. And I appreciate what you did for me that time in the seventh grade. I really do. But I need some time before I can truly forgive you.”
Tumblr media
Javier hadn’t expected the erratic knock on the door at this hour, and he certainly hadn’t expected to be met with the sight in his doorway.
You look just as lovely as ever, though you do seem to be a little tense. He doesn’t ask; instead, he looks you over and welcomes you inside, waiting for you to offer some explanation for your late visit, already perilous enough as it is.
“I know it’s late, I’m sorry,” you coo. “I just—this was the first place I thought of. Didn’t wanna be alone in my apartment.”
“It’s okay. What happened?”
“Why do you assume something happened? Can’t a friend pay a visit to another friend?”
“They can, but not with that expression on their face.”
“What expression?”
“You look like you’ve been run over.”
You frown, distancing yourself from him even further.
“I’m your friend, I should be able to tell you this without a problem,” Javier adds.
“No, you sure can. Thank you for the fine observation.”
“Glad I could be of service. Do you want a drink?”
Say no, your mind screams at you, almost begs. You shouldn’t be drinking, not when you’re feeling vulnerable after the raw conversation you’ve had at long last with your brother, and certainly not around Javier.
It’s not that you don’t trust yourself. You know what you can and can’t handle.
You’re simply afraid the liquor might provide you with the courage to finally tell him exactly what’s on your mind, and that you might end up being rejected. Something tells you Javier might choose loyalty and rationality over his feelings.
He keeps to himself, Steve told you.
“Little bit of whiskey would be nice if you have it,” you eventually reply, catching both Javier and yourself off guard.
“Didn’t know you drink whiskey.”
“I don’t. Not really. Only when I need something really strong.”
“I take it the conversation with Steve didn’t go that well then.”
Fucking hell, how does he do this? How does he intuit things about you without you even saying or hinting them?
“It did. I think,” you smile as a glass of amber liquid is being handed to you. “We talked things through, I told him my piece… he apologized. And he meant it, I could tell.”
“He’s an honest guy, and he means well.”
“I know he does. He only ever wanted to be there for his baby sister and to be a good friend, but he’s taken things too far. Which he’s acknowledged.”
“Color me intrigued and shocked.”
You smile, hiding the gesture in the glass and stealing a glance at Javier. An unfamiliar warmth surrounds you, wraps you in a blanket of confusion and longing that you’re certain you haven’t felt up until now.
“So how come you ended up here then?”
“I don’t know. I just… stormed off, told him I appreciate his apology but I need some time before I can fully forgive him.”
“While we’re at it…” Javier clears his throat, lowering his now empty glass, “I’m sorry too.”
“For what?”
“For everything.”
“You didn’t cause this.”
“I feel like I kind of did mess things up though. I’m quite good at it.”
“Javier…”
“What?”
You lower your glass too, reaching out to take his hand which he hesitantly accepts. “You’re not a bad guy. In no way, shape or form. Trust me on this. I know them pretty well. And you don’t fit in that category.”
When you smile at him, so sincere and bright, Javier pulls back his hand, chugging the rest of whiskey and focusing solely on the way it burns his throat.
And yet when he thinks of the way his body feels when you’re around you, that all-too-familiar burn is nothing compared to it.
“If I wouldn’t have taken this job, maybe things wouldn’t have been this way between you and Steve,” Javier mutters.
“Things between me and Steve have been rocky for years. They would’ve probably continued to be tense if you hadn’t pushed us to talk. Involuntarily, of course. And besides, if you wouldn’t have taken the job… I wouldn’t have met you.”
“I don’t know anyone whose life was better for having known me.”
“There is someone I can think of.”
Javier briefly gazes at you and quickly wishes he’d evaporate. It feels too much, far too consuming to even maintain eye contact with you on account of all the fear, the impossible yearning, the confusion and the—
No. stop it. This is not that.
“Anyway,” you resume, feeling a bit short of breath yourself, “I don’t think Steve wanted me to meet you in the first place.”
“That kinda makes me wanna get back at him.”
“Me too. And you know what would show him?”
Javier raises his brow, already anticipating and dreading the answer before it ever leaves your mouth.
“If we hooked up,” you smile wickedly.
He cocks an eyebrow, his interest peaked and his stomach all twisted in knots. “That so?”
“Mhm. We could let him stew in doubt, let him guess.”
“How would we pull that off?”
“Well, since we already agreed actually doing it is out of the question, a light touch on the arm when we’re all together, gazing at each other from afar, smiling… a kiss on the cheek, stuff like that.”
Javier has no idea when he finds himself in your close proximity again. All he knows is that he’s sitting on the chair next to you, leaning in yet again, cursing his own inner demons for fighting a losing battle, and his breaths betraying his restlessness.
“The buildup to a kiss is the best part,” he coos, and you swear you shiver for a second. “One of them, anyway.”
“Is it though?”
“Yes. What kind of jackasses did you date in the past? Jesus Christ.”
“The worst I could find.”
Against his better judgment—if there was any of it left—Javier chuckles, forcing himself to look at you.
“The moment you look into each other’s eyes and lean in, that’s where it all starts. It’s simple but it’s really powerful stuff. Heart beats faster. Breaths get shallower. At some point your eyes sort of drift away to the other’s lips, wondering what they taste and feel like. And then, when you finally feel bold enough to lean in more…”
You close your eyes, Javier’s faintly whiskey-infused breath all warm and tingly over your lips, and you wait. What you receive in return is a phone ringing though, so you instantly pull away, opening your eyes again and noticing the same expression on Javier’s face as you assume is on yours: desperation.
“I—“he starts, but you shush him immediately.
“It’s okay.”
We shouldn’t anyway, you think.
“Hello?” Javier practically groans into the telephone. “Hey, Con.”
You turn towards him on instinct, curious about the subject matter between the two, though you shouldn’t be; you know exactly what this is about, and at this late hour nonetheless.
“No,” Javier answers in an unusually dark and steady voice, eyes locked on your figure. “She’s not here.”
You look at him, utterly taken aback, and you gulp.
“Have you at least heard from her?” Connie inquires at the other end, unbeknownst to you. “She had a talk or a fight or something with Steve and now he’s worried. He says he called her apartment, went there and there’s no answer. It’s a whole thing.”
“I haven’t heard from her.”
“Javi…”
“Look, Con, with all due respect and care, she’s a grown woman and Murphy needs to stop babying her. She’s perfectly capable of making her own choices and seems to me that right now she doesn’t want to be found. So whatever you think it is that I’m doing…”
“I’m not thinking anything. Should I?”
“We’re… friends.”
“Have you noticed that whenever you say that, the pause between ‘we’ and ‘friends’ gets bigger?”
Javier frowns and blinks several times in a row, dumbfounded. “What?”
“It started out as ‘oh, we’re friends’ but now it’s more along the lines of ‘oh. We’re… sigh… friends’.”
“I sound nothing like that.”
“Javi. Come on.”
“I told you, Con. She’s not here tonight. Wherever she is, I’m sure she’s fine. She just wants to be left alone for a bit.”
“Well if you hear from her—“
“Yeah. Goodnight, Connie.”
Javier hangs up, frozen in the same spot. He knows that now there is no going back and that he’s in deep shit, but truthfully he only gives a damn about your well-being.
Everything else is tomorrow’s problem.
“You lied,” you coo.
“Fine observation skills.”
“Thank you.”
Javier stares at the ground, processing his own words and thoughts. Ever since he left Colombia, he’s all but tried to always do the right thing, the honorable thing and be a respectable man in today’s society. Not the Javier that worked with one of the most gruesome groups in the world for the greater cause, not Javier that bent the American embassy’s rules to fit into his scenarios, but a new Javier that was good and learned from his mistakes.
And now, every time he looks at you, he feels himself falling deeper into temptation, on the verge of making another mistake. Only this one might not be so easy to fix.
“Don’t thank me,” he mutters, pacing around the living room. “It was stupid and selfish. Obviously Connie knows you’re here and Steve’s gonna know and the whole thing’s gonna blow up in my fucking face.”
You notice him purposely avoiding your eyes and you reckon by the edgy way he’s marching through the living room that there are dozens of things on his mind now, if not more.
“Javier.”
No answer, more pacing.
“Javier, look at me.”
Still no answer, slightly less pacing.
“Why aren’t you looking at me? A minute ago you couldn’t stop looking at me when we were about to—“
“We were about to do nothing.”
“Right. I just—“
Then, Javier turns to you so abruptly it startles you for a second. You watch him walk towards you with a look on his face that you can’t quite put together. But it doesn’t intimidate you, nor does it scare you. On the contrary: it rather makes you want to hold him and be with him.
“What the hell are you doing to me?” he murmurs, his chocolate, soft eyes now glued to yours.
“I’m not—I’m not doing any—“
“No, you’re fucking consuming me. Eating me alive from inside out. And looking at you… whenever I look at you, I feel my promise to Steve break. I feel myself break, I feel… I feel the way I did back in Colombia, all fucked up and twisted and you don’t deserve that.”
“You never talk about it. Colombia.”
Javier purses his lips, holding his breath. “Sometimes it feels like I never left. Like it’s hell all around me. But then I think I can’t possibly be in hell cause you wouldn’t be there otherwise.”
Your heart flutters in your chest, your cheeks scorch with flattery and your body only craves more.
“Instead, you’re… here,” Javier continues, somewhat distraught. “You’re here and you’re… warm and fun and… alive. And your scent… I can’t get it out of my fucking head even if I know I should, I really should. Fucking… lavender, ruining me. And I just… I was hollow back there. I was dark and a jackass and… not as half as honorable as I thought I was, or that I’d be. I did shitty things, bad things. Colombia twisted me in ways I can’t revert. But I want to be better now, I want to be worthy, ironically because of you and for you. So looking at you feels like the most incredible thing in the world and the worst.”
You inch closer, breathless from the words that have been thrown at you, so raw and heartfelt.
“Did you ever kill a child?” you ask, and you can see the surprise on Javier’s face as the question is being processed by him.
“No.”
“A woman?”
“No.”
You nod once, slowly, inching even closer to him. “I thought we’re friends,” you whisper.
“We are, which is why I’m saying this with respect and care. Being your friend is killing me.”
“You said I’m not your type.”
“Apparently I was wrong. So very wrong. Apparently… you’re the very thing that I want. Pathetically desperate and… so fucking needy.”
Your skin is on fire by now, your throat dry and your mouth practically drooling.
“Javi,” you manage to get out.
“No, don’t—don’t do this to me right now.”
“Don’t do what? What are you—“
“Don’t say ‘Javi’, not like that.”
“How should I say it then?”
Javier’s eyes drop to your lips, and all of a sudden he’s unable to look elsewhere, consumed entirely by the unholiest thoughts he’s ever known.
“I got some ideas,” he whispers, his tongue wetting his lips.
“Mind sharing them with me?”
“I can’t.”
“But I want you to do this to me. There, verbal consent.”
Javier cocks his head to the side, thus exposing his neck and you’re feeling more parched than ever.
“The things I could do to you…” he mutters as if strictly to himself. “The things I could show you…”
“So show them to me. Show me… you.”
“Fuck, I want—“
“What do you want, Javi?”
The way you said his name, fully aware of the effect it has on him now and how much it messes with his mind, it makes Javier unable to think straight and certainly unable to resist you. In what can only be described as an act of insanity, Javier’s hand boldly rests on your waist, barely touching, and yet enough for both of you to feel the heat radiating from it.
“I want to do this right,” he says. “You’re not a random hookup. I—I wanna take you out to dinner, get to know you and be with you.”
“Dinner sounds nice.”
“Tomorrow night at seven?”
“Okay.”
In an even more insane act, you decide to move closer to him so that your lips press against his stubbled cheek. The touch is tentative, meant to be appreciative and thankful, but in the end, it only acts as a detonator to an already short enough fuse.
Before your brain properly understands what’s happening, you feel Javier sliding down your body until he kneels before you and wraps his arms around your legs and look up at you.
“Show me how to be good,” Javier mutters, and it shocks you to your core. “Show me how to be good, for you. Please.”
You open your mouth, and yet nothing comes out. Your mind must’ve short-circuited because no words come to mind except Sylvie’s from many weeks ago. 
Mark my words, this Javier is gonna be on his knees before you, asking you to teach him how to be good.
Then you’re gonna be in big trouble, missy.
Damn you, Sylvie.
Still tongue-tied, you place your index finger beneath Javier’s chin, thus signaling him to stand back up. He follows obediently, staring at you once more and waiting, his heart in his throat.
Finally, at long fucking last, with chills creeping up your spine, you cup Javier’s cheeks and press your lips against his.
And good lord, is this the softest kiss you’ve ever had in your entire life.
It’s languid, tentative at first, as if you’re both waiting for each other’s reaction to it, but within the following seconds, the kiss turns sloppy and heated, betraying your eagerness.
Javier’s hands wrap around your body expertly, and he hums into your mouth, the sound going straight into your cunt almost soaking you on the spot. This is the part of relationships he’s actually really good at, something he’s very confident in, so he wastes no time in guiding you to his bedroom, leaving a wet trail of kisses down on your neck as he plops you on the bed, him atop of you.
“If you want to stop, you gotta tell me now,” he warns, his voice as dark as his eyes. “I mean, we can stop at any point, but if you don’t—“
“I want this, Javier. I want you. I don’t want to stop.”
Javier groans, his mouth back on yours and seemingly devouring it whilst his hands roam nervously on your body. There’s dampness between your legs, and you have the urge to rub your legs together in an attempt to hide the slickness, but when you feel a calloused hand grabbing the back of your thigh, gently squeezing it, you part your legs as if to make enough room for him. And he does; Javier grinds between your legs, beginning to undress you with so much determination it’s causing your head to spin.
By the time you’re topless and writhing beneath him, you’re begging for him to touch you some more. You’re begging for his hands, his mouth, any part of him that he’s willing to give to you, and Javier obeys without a single objection in mind.
“Lift your hips for me,” he instructs, and you do as he says.
Your pants come off, then Javier’s eyes stop on your underwear, already eating you up with a single look.
“So fuckin’ pretty,” you hear him say, and you shiver.
It’s you who pulls him back in for a kiss, and it feels like the most maddening, enticing and damnable thing in the whole wide world. One of Javier’s hands reaches in between your legs, feeling the dampness soaking your panties, and you gasp. He massages your clit through the fabric, having you moan uncontrollably right in his mouth, more so when you’re completely bare, panties thrown carelessly to the side.
“On my face,” Javier manages to get out during the brief pause which he takes to undress himself.
“What?”
“Sit on my face. Right now. I wanna taste you.”
Your mouth ajar, you stare at him struggling to compose yourself but there is no possible scenario in which you can accomplish that successfully. Instead, your eye roam over his shirtless figure, the sight fueling your needs further.
“Will you let me taste you?”
“I—it’s just I’ve never—done that, really.”
Javier looks dumbfounded at you. “You never sat on a guy’s face?”
“No, some of them barely went down on me, so I—“
“Do you trust me?”
You nod.
“Then take a seat.”
Javier lies down on the bed, quickly disposing of his own pants in the process, and it’s only then that you notice how hard he is. It can’t be comfortable, and yet here he is, choosing to do something that’s aimed for your pleasure. Unless of course this gives him great pleasure as well, which you think it does, and that only makes things tougher.
You climb up his body, quivering when you feel his calloused hands kneading the flesh of your ass and thighs as you do so, and quickly try to figure out the logistics of the act. That is, until Javier loses patience and grabs your thighs, placing them on either sides of his face, and you nearly lose your goddamn mind at his first taste he takes of you.
You’re sitting all the way on his face, his nose nudging your clit and his tongue lapping at your folds, collecting every ounce of arousal he can get. It���s pleasure from an angle you didn’t even dream of, and Javier certainly knows his way around a woman’s body. You react out of impulse and grab a handful of his hair, tugging on it while Javier’s tongue splits you open.
“Oh—f-fuck—“
You’re stuttering, heart pounding in your ears and your whole body afire; so much so that you shake, and not out of pleasure—not yet. But the way Javier yaps at your pussy, you somehow know he’s gonna get you there soon.
Beneath you, Javier listens closely to all the sounds you let out for him; he takes the time to feel every portion of your skin, not just the way his mouth is buried in your pussy, and to say he’s in awe would be a crass understatement. When you start grinding on his mouth, your body’s natural reaction to the way ecstasy builds in your body, Javier can’t help his own body’s reaction to it. You don’t see his hand sneaking behind you to curl around his weeping cock, and even if you did, all you’d want would be to take him in your mouth instead, give him at least half the pleasure and happiness he’d been giving you all this time.
“Javi—“
“Mhmmm—sounds so fucking good when you say it like that.”
“J-Javi, please—“
“Shit I could drink from you—all day long.”
Too impatient, both of Javier’s hands go back to your ass, grabbing it so that you rock faster against his tongue, but you’re already moving out of your own accord in a desperate attempt to capture more of his mouth, to have that feeling that’s only bubbling in your belly explode into a thousand explosive flames.
“Need you to say it,” you hear him beg from between your legs. “Can you say it for me, hm? Ask me.”
“Please, Javi…”
“Say it.”
“Javi, I need—I need you. Need to… feel you.”
Then, it all seizes around you: your mind goes blank, your vision goes dark, nothing but stars all around you and unbearable heat bursting from beneath you and going up till your whole body is enveloped in it. Javier’s hands continue to explore your body, touching and caressing every inch of skin, his eyes never leaving your figure like he’s admiring the most precious work of art there is.
“So beautiful,” you see him murmur as you’re getting off him.
Javier licks his lips teasingly just as you lean down to kiss him again. You doubt you’d ever get enough of his mouth now that you’ve finally tasted it.
“You’re so beautiful,” he says. “And so tasty.”
You smile flustered, still unable to think of anything proper to say. Some words do come to mind, of course; thank you, I appreciate your friendship, I’m in love with you—
Oh no, not that one.
You begin to fear that the way you’re kissing him exposes the reality in your mind, the word you undeniably feel fluttering inside your chest, begging to be released, but you can’t. It’s far too soon and too hasty, so you keep them to yourself. As your bodies get entangled with one another and you find yourself beneath him once again, you abandon those words in a tiny box at the back of your mind, sealed.
 You find that once you keep your mouth shut, you can only gaze at Javier, and he at you. There’s nothing else to be said, not when your body’s being molded in such tender ways by Javier’s hands and mouth, praised for simply being here in between the sheets with him.
“Javi?”
“Hm?”
“Can you please fuck me now? I think we’ve both waited enough.”
“Couldn’t agree more.”
Javier reaches over, opening the nightstand and eventually rolling a condom onto his erection, lining up to your entrance. You can’t help but admire Javier, his eyes, his lips, his cheeks, his strong arms, his chest and his belly, the soft, dark curls at the base of his cock, the way his lower lip quivers when he’s overwhelmed.
“You’re so—“you gasp.
And the way he fills you to the brim in one languid, careful thrust is equal parts mesmerizing and enticing.
“So what?” Javier asks.
“So pretty.”
Javier stills for a moment, blinking in confusion. “No one’s said that to me before. I don’t… am I?”
You smile, nodding enthusiastically. “Yes. Very much so.”
Then Javier sinks into you, inch by delicious inch. You feel him pressing down onto you, completely undone and ravished, and keeps muttering into your ear little praises here and there. Your back arched, you take him and his words deep inside you, allowing Javier to consume you as much as he told you that you consume him.
And you have to admit, it is the most maddening sensation in the world.
He starts to move, a new urge overcoming him than when he’d been with women in the past. Being with you feels different because for the first time in so many years, he doesn’t want to rush; in spite of his neediness and almost two years of celibacy, now that he’s here, with you and inside of you, he wants to remain in this moment for as long as possible. He doesn’t have to rush, he realizes. There’s no bombs going off in the distance or shootings—most importantly, Colombia is not out there.
But you are here, soft and warm and kind and beautiful and Javier can barely breathe thinking about how much he adores you.
He wants to say the words, he feels them on the tip of his tongue, but he doesn’t want to scare you away. And he doesn’t want to rush things when this has the potential to be something so great.
His thrusts keep the same pace, though Javier feels like he could easily come at any given moment. Your tight, warm walls around him make him dizzy, utterly lost in that damned lavender scent and in your eyes and your smile. And your lips—oh God, he could kiss you all day and all night long. All the other times he’d abstained from kissing you, how close he was… how could he not have you that way?
“Javi…”
It’s all he hears, his name moaned from your perfect lips. All he knows now is you, the way you arch your back with each thrust of his, the way you gasp when his hand lays on your stomach and his thumb plays with your clit.
“I’ve thought about this, you and me… before,” you smile, cupping his cheeks.
“Yeah?”
“Mhm. I swore I’d never tell you. But now—“
“I thought about it too.”
“You—you did?”
Javier nods, leaning down to peck your lips, the gesture followed by an ecstatic smile.
“I shouldn’t have. I knew it was… it was wrong, it was dirty and cheap… I couldn’t stop. I—I tried, please believe me, I really tried, I—“
“Javi, shhh. I know you did. You were very honorable, and a great friend. Especially now, to me.”
You both smile against each other’s lips, Javier’s hips stuttering after a little while. He feels that familiar burn in his stomach, and that’s the only time he dares speed up, almost manically so. With a few grunts, Javier buries his head in the crook of your neck, cursing once in a while as his orgasm bubbled in his whole body. He needs to feel you pulse around him more than anything.
“I’m—shitshitshit—“
“It’s okay, come for me, Javi.”
“But I—“
“I’m close too.”
“Yeah?”
“S-So close… please…”
You don’t need to beg: you and Javier are right there, both tipping over the edge of sanity and falling right into the pit of passion and ecstasy. Javier grunts the loudest he ever had, spilling himself inside the condom and remaining still above you, the pleasure coursing through his veins overwhelming him completely. He looks down on you and sees your face scrunched up in the most adorable and alluring way and it dawns on him: it’s because of him. You came twice now, once in his mouth and once around his cock, gasping and moaning sweetly because of him. There’s a pride in his chest, pride and flattery, almost to an animalistic, primal degree.
When he pulls out, you feel empty and lonely, though the thought seems ridiculous because he’s right there still, isn’t he? You can’t help it—it’s like you want your bodies to remain united as one for as long as humanly possible.
“Oh, by the way,” Javier says, returning from the bathroom with a towel that he begins to press on your inner thighs and between them, “this is probably obvious, but we’re not telling your brother about this, right?”
You raise your eyebrows, bemused at his genuine question.
“I know we joked about it before, but… still.”
“Unless hell freezes over, no, we are not telling Steven shit.”

== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies. I know this recap is late-- I am having a habit of falling asleep a the end of the day now, new meds may be contributing to it, so please accept this Love Note as a start to the new day!
Everybody is trying very hard to keep each other afloat right now. We're all staying active in one way or another, whether that's sending lovely letters, or engaging in fandom fun and discourse. Sometimes it's not always fun though. We all get frustrated, we all repeat ourselves, and we all struggle with those things. Sometimes we say things we don't mean, or we say things that people misconstrue, and miscommunication can be rampant.
Just remember that we all make mistakes, and we're all human.
Take a step back.
Take a moment to breathe, go for a walk, go for food, or water, or go scream into the void.
We're all crew, and we do all care about each other even if we don't necessarily agree on things the fandom. We all have our own lives going on and outside factors that make the day to day harder, and we all need to give ourselves some grace for that too. Sometimes emotions get high and taking a step back can help, I know I've needed it lately. @areyoudoingthis reminded me of this yesterday and it really helped me feel more grounded. My brain gets overstimulated sometimes, and it's hard to break away from the thing that's overstimulating it, it's like it wants to keep going and deal with whatever is bothering it.
Just a gentle reminder that you are allowed to detach for a while. You're allowed to take a break. You're allowed to have your opinions, and your concerns, and your frustrations. You are human, and we are all so very flawed, but that's what makes us beautiful. Try not to beat yourselves up for being human.
Take a break, lean on a friend, verbally vomit frustrations into the voice or into a Safe Space Ship. Do what you need to do to get you through the day ok? We all want that. We all want YOU to be okay. If you step away, we'll be here when you get back because we love you crew. Don't forget that, even when tensions are high, we care about what happens to you, and we love you. You deserve grace too.

Chapter 6
'Oh for god sakes' you muttered to yourself.
Steven had been avoiding you all day. He'd done a good job of it as well, with only 2 hours left to your shifts.
Whether it be avoiding eye contact, quickly moving to a new area when you came over or signing up to do whatever daft task Donna came up with, he was definitely avoiding you.
He wouldn't be able to now though, he had to squeeze past you to get to the other till after returning from a Donna appointed mission. Just as he tried, you moved in front of him, folding your arms. 'Steven, wh-'
'Y/N I'm so so so sorry for completely missing Saturday, I'm so sorry, I feel terrible, I really do'
You stopped in confusion at what he said, whilst he continued to blabber on.
'It's my sleep condition, it just got really muddled up over the weekend and I completely missed it. I don't expect you to forgive me or anything but I feel really awful about it'.
You held up a finger, which finally made him pause. 'Steven, you were there'.
'I-I was?'
'Yes, in fact I was going to ask you what's going on with you today, and if I'd done something to upset you'. He looked at you in a mixture of horror and embarrassment.
'W-what no of course you haven't, god don't be silly. Oh I'm such an idiot' he spat out whilst storming past you. His face looked muddied with anger and disappointment, no doubt aimed at himself. He settled himself in the corner of the desk, slumping over the counter rubbing his forehead out of stress. You knew him well enough to know he was probably giving himself all kinds of abuse in his head, and you couldn’t let that happen. After a slow approach, you gently placed a hand on his shoulder. He jumped slightly before turning towards you with an apologetic smile.
'Steven, I just want you to know I wouldn't be upset if you missed it anyways. I do understand about what you're going through, and I wouldn't be a good friend to you if I didn't try to, nor if I didn't accommodate for it. That's what I want to be to you Steven, a good friend, someone you can trust and come to. Okay?'
A wave of emotions washed across his face, you could see his eyes start to sparkle with tears, and you dreaded the fact you might have made him upset. You took your hand away from him apprehensively, and then he gently smiled at you. 'God thank you Y/N, I really needed to hear that' and he laughed bashfully, turning away from you. 'Oh god, that store room is full of dust, I must have allergies playing up' he said, still shyly laughing whilst wiping his eyes. You giggled slightly, before looking under the desk to fumble inside of your bag.
'Look, maybe these will stir your memories a little bit' sliding a Tupperware across the counter towards him. He looked back and forth between you and box inquisitively, before swiftly taking the lid off with a pop.
'Oh wow, these smell delicious, you made these for me?'
'Yeah, well, you challenged me, cause you said the food in the bar looked good, but I said it was typical American slop. I said my cooking was better, you asked for evidence, here we are' you pointed at the tub in his hand.
'What are they?'
'Olive doughballs, with a vegan butter topping, italian herbs and garlic' you exaggerated on the vegan bit, just so he knew you'd considered everything.
'Wow, spoken like a true professional' he nodded impressed, before picking one up and taking a bite. His eyes opened wide, before darting up at you whilst he quickly chewed and then swallowed. 'Bloody hell, these are amazing' he tossed the remaining half in his mouth. He moaned and threw his head back whilst you laughed and swatted at him
'Shut up' you laughed whilst he smiled sweetly at you.
'These are really good though, I know I can't remember going to that bar, but I dare say it's far better than whatever they served'
'Thanks Steven, now eat up, they're all yours'
'Seriously? Blimey! I'm a lucky bloke'
He was midway through the box before he asked 'What do I need to do to get you to make more of these for me?'
'Hmmmm, how about, we go out together again, need to actually have you experience hanging out with me' you suggested, with a smirk.
He carried out a dramatic act of pondering, looking into the distance, eyes scrunched in fake consideration, you stood watching him do it, admiring his features. 'You know what, I'll take you up on it, but you better make it interesting' he pointed sternly at you.
'Well, I've been having a look on social media, aaaand, I want to do a day tour of some of the really lovely bookshops we have in this here city'.
He looked at you with clear excitement written all over his face, 'Oh that's brilliant, yes 100% yes, we're doing that' he said with delight.
'Well when would you like?'
'Saturday again, I swear I won't miss it'
'Steven, it doesn't matter if you do'
'Yes of course' you almost could see a blush on his cheeks, but brushed the thought away.
'Saturday then' he said, reaching a hand across to you. Though he had a mixture of the butter and herb topping all over his fingertips, you still gladly took his hand and you shook. 'It's a date' he spat out, obviously surprised by what he said, and with an undeniable flush to his face.
You smiled, 'Whatever you say, I'll send you the details'
'Uh huh' he nodded, still with a stunned look, putting another dough-ball in his mouth to no doubt, stop himself from talking.

Do you have any Mouse Man AU headcanons?
Steven has become a bit petty and sarcastic after the accident. Which is well deserved form him since he his now a half human half mouse creature and woke up from a painful experiment.
Steven woke up a few days in the hospital after the accident. Squeaky was placed in a cage at his house. Becky was checked on by their neighbors the Botsfords while Steven was out cold.
Tubing and Doohickey bring Steven to the hospital. Steven after he wakes up is worried about how Becky would react if she saw him now. He doesn't want her to be scared. Tubing assures him that Becky had already seen what he looks like now and is more worried about his health and well being than his appearance. Becky gives her dad a firm hug, glad to see he is okay.
The Botsfords are friends with Steven and Becky in this au as well.
The introductory episode for Dr. Two Brains is for Dr. James Jenkins but it ties with Steven as well. Steven comes home after the hospital visit and for breakfast has an urge to make something with cheese so he makes cheese omelets for him and Becky. He theorizes that he must have developed some of Squeaky's eating habits which involve Cheese. So Steven devises a scientific chart to plan out which type of cheese he can eat also how to combine cheese with other foods so he can maintain his human diet. Becky in the beginning worriedly asks her dad about his new obsession with cheese but Steven assures Becky that he has no motivation to steal it, just eat it. They plan to go to the grocery store to buy cheese along with other stuff. Soon the alarm goes off but its Dr. Jenkins who is turning the food in the grocery store into candy but it tastes bad unfortunately. Wordgirl tries to stop him but someone recognizes Steven apparently and fan mob him because of his book. Dr. Jenkins uses that to escape.
(I agree 100% with @djsadbean and her Steven working for city hall in the crime unit headcanon)
So back at city hall Steven, Wordgirl, Huggy, the mayor, Sally Botsford, and a few members of the scientific community heads come together to discuss what happened and Wordgirl and Steven find out about Jenkins. Steven and Wordgirl are miffed at the scientists who degraded Jenkins' work because he had some pretty good ideas and working experiments. The scientists ignore them and say Jenkins was nothing but a hack. Steven wants to argue back for this guys case but he can't because he unfortunately is under these people as well and can't risk his job which he has to raise Becky. Wordgirl later asks her dad what she should do. Steven says as much as he hates to admit it, Jenkins' has to be taken to jail to pay for his crimes of destruction and hopefully he can get some therapy help there (surprise: the city doesn't pay for villain therapists) So the introduction episode goes the same as canon episode with a few more minor differences. Ex. Steven and Becky try to talk Dr. Jenkins out of being a villain, but ultimately have to stop him and the police just take him away like a criminal. Also no cheese stealing invovled.
In the mouse brain takeover episode, Squeaky is the only one around who sees Steven go into mouse mode. As Steven runs off, Squeaky yells at him to bring back some cheese.
Squeaky is kept around because Steven does not want the mouse to cause anymore trouble.
Steven just enjoys sassing out Victoria's parents every time he encounters them.
For the Two Brains quartet episode - Jenkins builds a ray that manipulates sound waves - people don't sound awful when singing but just bizarre. Bampy joins his family for the quartet part. Bob joins Steven, Tubing, and Doohickey after Steven gave his daughter the role of manager.
Two Brains boogie - Steven just covers his face when he sees his child dance, he does lay down some sick moves when helping Tim shut off the force field ray.
Steven still does not like cats now. He is not at the point where he thinks they are going to eat them, but he flinches badly when they are around.
Steven still gives his daughter hero advice and does his best to help her when she is in trouble.

'we always used to have sleepovers as children, why would it be weird now?' has the biggest Ralex vibes
When they were little, Reggie and Alex spent most weekend nights together. The Mercer's were more than happy that Alex was making friends at his new school, and Reggie's parents were content to get him out from underfoot. So every weekend they would rent a few tapes, roll out their sleeping bags and indulge in junk food until they fell asleep on top of each other.
Of course, as they grew up, and the band booked more and more gigs, the sleepovers slowed. Than when Alex came out, the guys were all but banned from the house, let alone staying the night.
They had the odd band sleepover, passing out after a late gig, all slumped together on Luke's tiny couch, or sprawled out on the floor, but it wasn't the same.
Reggie missed Alex, they had been so close once upon a time, and he would still count him as his best friend. But right now there seemed to be a sort of... distance between them. Alex would refuse to meet his eyes, always riding with Bobby, or studying with Luke. It hurt, and Reggie wished that confrontation didn't make him so tense, otherwise he would finally get it out of Alex why he was persona non grata all of a sudden.
Then one night, he just... couldn't sleep. Thoughts kept swirling around his head, dark thoughts, and he knew they wouldn't dispel if he didn't at least try and talk to his friend.
Out the window, and off to the Mercer residence, a familiar walk by now. Cutting through yards, avoiding the pit bull the Stevens family had bought a few years ago who normally left him alone with a few bribery treats. Easing the gate of the Cassidy yard, since they always forgot to oil the hinges. Then a hop, skip, and a jump until he was standing in front of Alex's house.
Scaling the trellis to Alex's room was easier now that he had been putting time in at the gym with Luke. And thankfully Alex always slept with his window opened a crack, letting Reggie slip it open without too much trouble. Of course, that didn't stop him from tumbling onto the floor with a loud thump, making Alex dart up in his bed, eyes whizzing around until they settled on Reggie.
"Reg? What are you doing here?"
Reggie shrugged. "Couldn't sleep, wondered if you wanted to have a sleepover, like we used to. Stay up late, watch some movies, eat too much junk."
Alex's face screwed up at that. "We're teenagers now, wouldn't that be weird?"
"We used to do it all the time as kids, why would it be weird now?" Reggie asked, tossing his jacket onto Alex's chair before sitting on it, looking at Alex expectantly.
"Well if my parents catch you, we're both in for some hell for one," Alex snarked.
"Well I didn't see their car in the driveway, so no worries there," Reggie said with a smile. "What's the other reason?"
Alex blushed at that, turning his head to the side. "Reg, you know why."
"Is it the gay thing? Dude, I told you, I don't care if you like guys, you're still Alex to me. I don't care if you check me out either, I know I look good," Reggie replied with a wink.
"That's not.. okay," Alex gave a long suffering sigh, then muttered under his breath. "Out of all the himbos I know, I have to go and fall for the biggest one..."
"Wait what?" Reggie squeaked. "You.. me? Really?"
"Apparently."
"How long?"
Alex gave a non-committal shrug at that. "A while now. It's why I've been so... weird about being around you. I didn't want you to find out and freak."
"There's no freaking!" Reggie exclaimed, and when Alex shot him a look, he shook his head. "Okay, there is some minor freakage, but it's not because of the whole you, it's that I never noticed! I thought I had pissed you off or something, not that you returned my feelings!"
"W-what?" Alex stuttered.
Reggie almost vaulted over to the bed, taking Alex's hand in his, nodding like crazy. "Oh yeah, big time crush on you, for like, ever. But then you and Luke got together, and that ended in flames, so I figured... best not to tempt fate you know? But now that I know that you like me..."
"Maybe we could try... dating?" Alex offered.
"I'd like that," Reggie said, then smirked. "So, is that still a no to the sleepover?"
"What kind of guy do you think I am Peters?" Alex scoffed. "Not before our first date." But he puckered his lips, pressing a sweet kiss to Reggie's lips. "But you can have this good night kiss before you go home, and tomorrow afternoon we can go get ice cream together."
Reggie pressed forward, stealing another kiss. "I can live with that. See you tomorrow. Sweet dreams!"
Reggie then slipped out of the window, hearing Alex's echoed reply before the window slipped to a barely opened crack. He smiled and hummed as he made his way home, confident that he could sleep now. After all, he had to be well rested for their date!

10 years later, 2020
“How is it going with you two?” Bucky sips his coffee as he sits across you and Steve.
You raised an eyebrow at him. “What do you mean?”
“I would’ve expected a wedding invitation by now from both of you,” He looks at the two of you pointedly.
You choke on your latte and then glanced at Steve. “Seriously?”
Steve glances back at you and laughed, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
Bucky bursts out in laughter. “Shit. That was priceless!”
“Oh shut up, Buck.” Steve rolls his eyes at his friend.
“Yeah, Barnes. We’re just friends,” You nudge Steve with your shoulder. “Right, Steve?”
Steve shrugs and nods, leaning in front and picking up a fork to cut into his slice of chicken pie. “Yeah,”
Jesus. What was that stinging pain in your heart?
Steve left for the washroom and it was just you and Bucky.
“Bitch move, Y/N.”
You look at Bucky cluelessly. “What did I do?”
“That guy is hopelessly in love with you and you just told him that you two are just friends.” He pointedly says.
You roll your eyes in reply. “You’re exaggerating. He’s not hopelessly in love with me, Buck.”
“Say that to his lost, sad, depressed puppy dog face whenever you get into a new relationship.” Bucky kicks your leg under the table.
“You’re just bullshitting now, Barnes.”
There was no way Bucky was right. Your mum’s told you the same thing, so did Steve’s parents. And then there was Natasha who said something along the lines too. Lets not forget Sam either.
Steve being in love with you? That’s just impossible.
“You shouldn’t deny the truth, Y/L/N.”
Steve walks back to the table. “Deny what?”
You turn to Steve in slight surprise before you quickly recovered. “Bucky was just saying some things about-”
“-About how you’ve been in love with Y/N since you were kids,” Bucky interrupts you.
Steve blushes immediately, the pink flowing up to his pale cheeks and he stuttered a little. “W-what?”
You step on Bucky’s toes with your boots and glare at him. His knee shoots up and hits the table as he groans in pain.
You turned to Steve and smiled kindly, “Nope, Bucky was just playing with you,”
Steve nods and settles back on the seat beside you.
You thought to yourself while the two guys chat about yesterday’s baseball game.
Steve gets sad when you get into a new relationship? And then he gets awkward when you say that you two are just friends.
Damn it, Bucky.
But Steve’s just being Steve. He’s always awkward... right?
-
“I’m not even kidding, Nat. Like seriously, Steve? Liking me?” You huff.
“Think about it this way,” She was lying on the couch, her legs resting on your lap. “He has a lot of flings and ex girlfriends. But why did none of them last long?”
You look down at her. “Because he hasn’t found the right person?”
Natasha shrugs. “That could be one. But you two already act like a couple.” She shifted and sits up straight, turning to you seriously. “He’s looking around for something he already has. Except, it isn’t official.”
You were meeting Natasha so you ended up leaving the guys earlier at the cafe. Apparently, they were planning on having some guys night with Sam.
You frown at Natasha. “We don’t act like a couple.”
Nat raised an eyebrow at you with a ‘really’ expression. “You cuddle, you know what each other like and dislikes, he spends money on you, you spend money on him and you sleep together on the same bed.”
“Isn’t that the norm for best friends?”
Tasha rolls her eyes. “You don’t see Sam kiss my forehead before he goes home or see Bucky buy me an iPad, now, do you?”
“I’ve known Steve since I was one.” You pointed out.
This topic was seriously making you think like crazy. You didn’t even know you acted like a couple with Steve. Like seriously???
“Valid point. But do you really think his exes give a shit about that when he helps you put on your coat and shit?”
“But-”
Natasha laughs at you, completely stopping your speech. “Denial is not a good look on you, sweetie.”
You sigh as Nat stands up and heads into the kitchen.
She comes back out with two bottles of beer. “Listen, Y/N. All I’m saying is, maybe you don’t see it but everyone around you sees what’s going on.” She settles beside you on the couch. “Your brain just functions at a slower rate than others.”
You gasp and smack her arm harshly. “Rude!”
Nat bursts out in laughter before calming down and snuggled into you. “Just, if it’s meant to be, it will happen someday. Forcing things will only make it worse.”
“Does he really sulk when I get into relationships?” You rest your head on top of Natasha’s.
“Yeap!”
You sigh again. “Okay then, why do my relationships not last long?”
“Because the intimacy you want with said partner is already something you share with Steve.” Nat stops and tried to think of a way to convey her thoughts. “Minus the kisses and sex.”
You sighed for what seemed like the nth time that day. “Alright lets change topics. How are your ballet lessons going?”
-
You had some guy named Jake over at your place a few days after your girls night with Nat. It was just a one night thing and he was already in the corridor outside your apartment when Steve appeared from the stairs, slightly breathless.
You see his face drop when he sees the guy standing outside your door. Wait- why have you never seen that before? It wasn’t the first time Steve came over while there was a guy at your apartment?
Fuckfuckfuck. Damn it, Bucky. And Natasha.
“Hey, Steve.” You turn to Jake, or was it Jacob? “Bye, Joseph.”
Said guy just looks at you in shock. “It’s John.”
“Yeah, potato, potahto.” You flashed him a grim smile before dragging Steve into your apartment and leaving the John in the corridor.
“I’ll make breakfast?” You ask Steve, already making your way to the kitchen.
He follows closely behind you. “I’ll help. What do you want?”
“Mom’s congee?”
Steve looks at you in shock. “You’re the best.”
“I know, Stevie.” You wink at him. “Just fry the chicken. And cut the onions, please, I beg you.”
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” Steve hurriedly washed his hand and took whatever he needed from the fridge.
“You wanna call the others to hang out?”
Steve shrugs, “Up to you. But you call. I just washed my hands.”
You took out your phone and shoot a text to the groupchat. The one with Sam, Nat and Bucky.
Y/N: congee day
Y/N: no beer no entry.
Sam: OOOO
Nat: beer and congee? seriously?
Y/N: hey, no one’s forcing you to come nat ??
Sam: there in an hour. with beer.
Bucky: is steve making his fried chiken
Y/N: yeah
Nat: fine i’ll be there with bucky in 20 mins
Y/N: bring gummy bears please thank you ily
-
Steve glanced down at his smartwatch at raised his brows at your last text.
“Gummy bears, really?”
“Gummy bears and beer is literally the best thing Stevie,” You snort, “But of course you wouldn’t know since you’re an old hag, Steven.”
Steve gasps, looking at you in shock. “Did you just-”
You smirk at him, casually walking to the fridge. “You know I did, Rogers.”
You looked inside the fridge, completely not noticing that Steve was already behind you.
You turn around after grabbing a can of Schwepps from the fridge. You jumped seeing Steve towering right behind you. “Jesus, Steve.”
“You wanna try that again?” He held his hands up on both sides of the fridge, eyes twinkling playfully.
You shake your head and pointed at him. “None of the food war crap. I had to clean up the mess the last time.”
Steve gazed down at you. “You better take it back if you don’t want a new mess to clean up.”
You took the time to look at him– really look at him.
Steve's hot, and goodlooking. You’ve already known that. But have you ever really looked at him?
How there’s that weird drain between his brows when he’s frowning, or how his chin is like a shade darker than the rest of his face. There’s a spot on his cheek and his forehead. You’ve never really noticed them before. His eyes always had a shine. The only time you saw it dull was at his dad’s funeral and then again when Sarah Rogers passed away about 4 years after. Your parents took him in straight afterwards.
Those blue eyes are always so intense. Whether he’s trying to get a thread into the needle or reading Paper Towns, Steve’s eyes are so goddamn intense. Like he’s trying to burn a hole through the pages of that stupid book.
“You’re staring,” He noted, even though his eyes were deeply staring into you too.
“You’re staring,” You dutifully told him in return.
“I’m looking,” You see his eyes glancing down to your lips quickly and then back into your eyes.
Your eyes shifted down to his lips too. You know how it feels firsthand. Plump and soft, and it feels so good against your own. The natural pink only compliments his pale skin.
It has never been this intense. He was staring into you and you were gazing into him. His body warmth completely overrides the cold air of the fridge behind you. And his presence was... present, huge. Was this what people called sexual tension?
Damn it, Bucky. And Natasha. And Sam. And your parents.
Fuck.
His gaze switched between your eyes and lips, leaning down slowly and hesitantly. You leaned in too, slowly going up on the tip of your toes.
You could feel his breath on your face.
“We shouldn’t,” You whispered lowly.
“I know,” Steve’s hand still shifted to your jaw, though and he's caressing very lightly.
Your hands trailed up and linked at the back of his neck, and you completely press your lips against his.
Fuck.
It has been at least a year since you’ve been this close to Steve. But this, this was just different.
Steve kisses you back, lips soft but a little rough. It reminds you perfectly of the first time you kissed him he kissed you.
There was a thought in the back of your mind about how this was possibly going to be awkward later. But, fuck. His lips feels too good to stop.
You pull away from him, just about an inch or two away from his lips. “Steve,”
He speaks lowly, “I swear if you tell me that we shouldn’t do this...”
“We shouldn’t.” You breathed deeply. “But we need to talk about this,”
“Talk about what?” His voice raises the slightest bit. “Talk about how I’ve been in lo-”
The doorbell rings.
And just like that, your moment broke.
Steve closed his eyes shut and clenched his teeth, before he completely pulls away from you and turned around.
“Go get the door. I’ll get started on the chicken.”
You listened, stepping out of the kitchen and to towards the door. Your mind was still processing what just happened. Was he about to say... But, Fuck.
Even if he did say it, you have no idea what you’d do.
Your hand curls around the door knob and you pushed it down and pulled the door open.
Nat and Bucky were on the other side, holding up bags and something that looks like 10 bags of gummy bears.
Not that you have any complaints.
“Your face looks weird. What happened?” Natasha brushes past you as she strides into your apartment, dropping her handbag on the dining table and then going into the kitchen.
“Yeah, you look weird. Why does the house seem so quiet?” Bucky asks next, pushing past you and going straight into the kitchen.
“Yeah, cause I just kissed Steve. Of course it’s gonna be like the fucking Kardashians’ house, ain’t it?” You mutter lowly under your breath, knowing damn well they can’t hear you.
“Hey, Steve,” Tasha sets the bags in the counter before she goes over and pecks Steve on his cheek. “You look weird too. What happened between you two?” She glances between you and Steve with a question mark on her face.
“Did you have sex?”
You turn to Bucky almost immediately. “No!”
“Alright, no need to get so defensive, Tiger. Did you kiss?”
The blush on Steve’s cheeks and the silence from you was a good enough answer for the both of then.
“Oh, so something did happen, huh?” Natasha teased, eyes glinting with some sort of evil.
“Shut up.” Steve grunts as he continues dipping small chicken cubes into flour and then into the egg mixture.
“Did you kiss his dick or just his mouth?”
You roll your eyes, stepping towards the sink to wash your hands, completely ignoring Bucky’s question.
You eyed Steve from your peripheral vision. He was silent too.
Well, fuck.

Friends With Benefits (Jeff Wittek Imagine) Part 11
Summary: Jeff and Y/N have been hooking up for a while. The whole vlog squad assumes they’re dating and Y/N does too but Jeff doesn’t like labels. He eventually starts to express interest in Natalie.
Note: Planning on making this a multiple part series, depending on how good it does.  You’re 21 & Latina in this (maybe) series. Also, I’d like to apologize for the typos, if there is any. I’m just illiterate lmao.  
Side note: Sorry it took me over a week to post this! I just started my last semester of college and I also have a part time job, so I’ve been super tired. I’ll try to be more consistent.
Warnings! Pregnancy, Smut 
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 , Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10,
Word Count: 2k
Christmas Eve 12/24/2019
Y/n: *Wakes up and stares at Jeff peacefully sleeping*
Jeff: *moans*
Y/n: *looks down and notices Jeff has a boner* Hmmm *gently rubs the swollen tip of Jeff’s cock*
Jeff: *thrusts into y/n’s hand*
Y/n: *Smirks and quietly gets out of bed to lock the door* *Pulls Jeff’s boxer’s down and sees his cock slap against his abs* *Softly licks the base of his Jeff’s cock all the way to the tip and sucks the head*
Jeff: *moans* mmm fuck.
Y/n: *You use the entirety of your palms and fingers with just how big and long he is. You hum greedily as you do this*
Jeff: *wakes up and smirks* I guess it’s a very Merry Christmas to me.
Y/n: I can suck on your cock all day daddy *winks*
Jeff: *groaning at how fast you’re going* F-fuck baby the way you’re moaning. You’re gonna kill me *bucks his hips*
Y/n: Shhh, I don't want them to know I’m sucking your cock ;) *continues to deepthroat feeling him twitch*
Jeff: Oh my fucking god baby yesss. Fuck me, fuck me, over and over. I swear I’d be fucking you every nigh- JESUS FUCK *cums inside her mouth*
Y/n: *swallows and sucks his cock clean* That was a great way to start Christmas.
Jeff: *laughs* Me cumming in you?
Y/n: *smirks* Mhmmm, I love it when you’re in me ;)
Jeff: What time is it?
Y/n: It’s 7:42am. I think your mom is already up cooking.
Jeff: Well if you want to see the Christmas parade at 11 w/ Jonah’s family, round 2 in the shower has to be a quickie.
Y/n: *looks down at his cock* You’re still hard? You just came a bunch in my mouth.
Jeff: I’m always hard for you babe *winks*
*After the Christmas Parade*
Suzie: I loved the parade! New York is so pretty during Christmas.
Vardon: Christmas is also more fun w/ snow.
Jonah: Guys it was fucking freezing outside.
Y/n: It was only 38 degrees.
Jeff’s mom: Oh good you guys are back. Marie (Jonah’s mom) and I are almost done with the food.
Jeff: Ma you’ve been cooking since like 6am. Have you had a break?
Jeff’s mom: We also did some last minute shopping/ gift wrapping. Everybody gets to open one present today and the rest tomorrow.
Y/n: You guys open presents tomorrow?
Jeff’s dad: Yeah, doesn’t everybody?
Y/n: Well in the Hispanic/ Latinx community, we call today Hispanic Christmas. So we open our presents today and then we spend the 25th stuffing our faces in left overs. We open on the 24th cause we’re too impatient and yes, we know Jesus was born on the 25th.
Jeff: Maybe we can do that w/ the girls next year.
Jeff’s mom: *tears up* Oh god you’re going to have daughter’s next year.
Jeff: Maaaa don’t cry again.
Y/n: Oh we are definitely doing hispanic christmas. If my sister comes over, she’d want to open the presents like a week before. She’s the most impatient. One year, she opened presents at like 3-4pm.
Jeff’s mom: I’m such a cry baby. Now help me set up the table!
*everybody helps set the plates and food*
Jeff’s dad: does anybody want to start the prayer?
Jeff: I’ll do it.
Karyn: Really? The last time you did it was Easter 2005 and you couldn’t stop laughing.
Jeff’s mom: Karyn.
*everybody holds hands*
Jeff: oh Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you’ve brought us. I know that Christmas is about you but I’d like to say thanks. Thank you for keeping everybody here in good health because I don’t know where I’d be w/ out them. I’m grateful for the supportive family and friends you have given me and most importantly, y/n. I know we were very rocky until recently but you brought her into my life for a reason. She was changing me into a better person and I was too stubborn to accept it. Now she’s going to be the mother of my 2 amazing daughters. Those babies already have me wrapped around their fingers and they’re not even here yet. I can’t wait for the day y/n and I get married and have however many babies you give us but don’t make it twins each time cause that’s gonna make my hair gray fast
Jeff’s mom: Jeffrey-
Jeff: okay I’m just kidding… kind of but you know what I mean. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and the rest of my family. Amen.
Everybody: Amen
Jeff’s dad: Hun are you crying?
Y/n: *sniffles her nose* NO. Maybe…. I wouldn't have thought Jeff was religious.
Karyn: Only during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
Jeff’s Dad: Karyn stop teasing your brother. Now that the prayer is over with, let’s eat!
Jeff’s mom: Marie and I spent all morning cooking. Also, since this is y/n’s first Christmas w/ us, I wanted to bring some of the food she eats during the holidays.
Y/n: What food?
Jeff’s mom: *shows the Pernil* (pernil is pork shoulder)
Y/n: NO YOU DIDN’T *tastes the food* AND IT TASTES JUST LIKE OUT MY DAD MAKES IT. How did you make it?!
Jeff: She asked me a couple of days ago what you eat during the holidays and I found your sister on instagram. I got the recipe from her.
Jeff’s mom: I saw that it was a Puerto Rican dish so I asked one of my friends who knows how to make it to show me the steps.
Y/n: Oooo imma try not to cry again but THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Jonah: Can we eat now
After Dinner
Y/n: I ate so much, I think I’m having triplets. But thank you once again. I was pretty nervous to come here because I didn’t know how y’all would react to me.
Karyn: Just know that when we get mad, it’s at Jeff cause he’s always the one that somehow messes up.
Jeff: What time is it?
Suzie: It’s 7pm. Should we watch Christmas movies and then open presents before bed?
Vardon: Let’s watch the Grinch
Jonah: *ignores Vardon* Any other suggestions? Please. ANY OTHER.
Karyn: Y/n what do you watch for Christmas.
Y/n: Well, my personal favorite is Jingle all the Way but the Christmas Line up in my family is usually Home Alone 2, A Diva’s Christmas Carol, A Very Brady Christmas, the I Love Lucy Christmas episode and other’s I can’t remember.
Jeff: I mean, we are in New York. Home Alone 2?
Everybody: Sure.
*After watching Christmas movies*
Jeff’s mom: It’s 9:45pm. I think we should be opening our one present before we go to bed.
Jeff: Youngest to oldest! So my niece goes first, then Vardon, Y/n, Suzie, Jonah, etc.
*Jeff’s nieces and Vardon opens their gifts*
Vardon: No way. Jeff got me airpods! Thank you *Hugs Jeff*
Jeff: You’re welcome. Now time for y/n to open her gift from me.
Y/n: Oooo okay. *opens gift and sees two little gold bracelets* what are these for?
Jeff: I always see babies w/ the small little charm bracelet. You mentioned your sister and you never got that from your parents but your older brother did. I wanted to do that for our girls even though they're not here yet. So once we pick out the names, we’ll get the charms.
Y/n: *sniffles* Dammit why do you keep making me cry.
Jeff: Cause I don’t want you to ever forget how much I love you.
Jonah: Can we move on from this sappy shit so I can open my gift.
Everybody: JONAH.
*After everybody opens their presents*
Y/n: Thank you so much for accepting me on such short notice.
Jeff’s mom: Hun we’re family now. You’ll always be a part of us. Same for the Antonyans. We know how much Jeff misses having us around since he’s been living in LA and y’all have been a family to him.
Jonah’s mom: I love Jeff like he my own son. He help us so much.
Jeff’s Dad: Y’all just have to make sure to visit us often. Get’s kind of lonely here w/ Karyn living in Kentucky, Jeff living in LA. I mean Steven lives in the city w/ his kids but we miss having all of you together here.
Jeff: I’m starting to think that having girls runs in the family. Karyn has a daughter, Steven has twin girls and now I’m gonna have twin girls.
Jeff’s mom: I mean you never know if the nurse made a mistake. They thought your brother was a girl for half my pregnancy. Then they did the last ultrasound a week before I gave birth to him and they said he was a boy.
Y/n: Oh god I don’t even want to think about that. I’m already stressed out about the babies possibly being deaf now I gotta be worried if the nurse misgendered them….
Karyn: The babies are gonna be deaf?
Y/n: Hmm?
Jeff’s dad: You just said there’s a possibility the twins will be born deaf.
Y/n: Fuck. I did say that, didn't I… Jeff, you wanna help me out here?
Jeff: Ummm. Damn we weren’t planning on telling anybody this for a couple of weeks. We got a call a couple of days ago after we did some genetic testing and the doctor said the babies have a high chance of being born hard of hearing/ deaf.
Karyn: My doctors told me the same thing. Luckily my daughter turned out fine
Steven: I wasn’t a carrier for the gene…
Jeff’s mom: We’ll love those babies no matter what. If we have to learn sign language for them, then we’d do it. I’ll fly out to LA once it gets close to the due date to help out.
Jeff: Thanks ma. Means a lot.
Y/n: Thank you so much. I don’t know if my own parents would forgive me by then to be there for the birth.
Jeff’s mom: Anytime sweetheart. My god look at the time, It’s 10:15, we have to go to bed before Santa comes.
Jonah: Haha, but santa isn-
Jeff: Jonah you better better not finish that sentence cause my nieces are here and I don’t wanna see the magic ruined for them.
Jonah: What I was saying was, isn't Santa a little late?… He should’ve been here by now…
Going to bed
Y/n: I am so stuffed. Christmas turned out a lot better than I thought.
Jeff: See, you had nothing to be afraid about. Also, good job on keeping the deaf thing a secret haha.
Y/n: Hey! It’s been on my mind since we found out. WAIT. Jonah and Suzie.
Jeff: What about them?
Y/n: they were there…. What if they tell everybody else.
Jeff: Suzie would never… Jonah on the other hand… I have little faith in him.
Y/n: I’m afraid to check my phone.
Jeff: Same. I haven't looked at it all day. On the count of 3…
Y/n: One….
Jeff: Two.
Y/n & Jeff: Three. *looks at phones*
Y/n’s phone: 82 text messages & 24 missed calls
Jeff’s phone: 77 text messages & 21 missed calls
Vlog Squad GC
David: Was what Jonah said true?
Natalie: Is it serious?
Jason: Y’all I’m so sorry
Zane: There has to be a way to fix it. My babies will be okay right?
Erin: I’ll postpone my wedding until the babies are okay
Carly: Oh no Carly and Erin jr :(
Corinna: The babies are gonna be deaf?
Mariah: Is it confirmed?
Heath: Have y’all seen other doctors?
Matt: Guys they’re busy. I don’t think we should be spamming them on Christmas.
Toddy: We’ll stop one they answer us!
David: I’ll put in whatever money you need for surgeries or anything.
Jason: Guys stop. They’ll tell us everything once they’re ready.
(end of conversation)
Jeff: I’m gonna kill Jonah.
Y/n: Oh hun, so will I…

Thanksgiving w/ Mr. Stevens & the Udakus
SoftBoi!Erik Killmonger x Black Reader
A/N: Hey, friends! This is my first time writing for Erik so drag me if need be lol. It’s just a quick imagine that I needed to get out since I was feeling lonely today. Let me know what you think! Love y’all; Happy Thanksgiving!
You were stirred out of your sleep by the alarm on your phone. 8:30 pm. It was the day before thanksgiving and after prepping all morning, you decided to treat yourself to a nap. Cooking, prepping, and generally being awake was exhausting around this time of year.
Every Thanksgiving was the same with your family; you’d plan everything by yourself, set the table by yourself, and force people to cook with you. Everyone wanted to eat but no one everyone wanted to help. You always felt alone, even when you were at the dinner table surrounded by family. Be it seasonal depression or a lack of holiday committment from your family, you were sure you were done with the holiday season. But not this year. This year, you had Erik.
Here you were a year and a half into your relationship, staying with him and his family in Wakanda. It took you a while to get used the to the new scenery; and the fact that you were dating a fomerly lost prince.
“Yo, cakes, you up yet?! I heard your alarm go off,” you heard the prince yell from across the room. You groaned in response, hiding your face in your pillow.
Erik stripped the covers of the bed and smacked your mostly bare ass.
“Erik,” you yelped,” why do you have to be so rough, damn!”
“I’m sorry, cakes, but you gotta get up; we got cooking to do,” he said, sitting next to you.
You sat up and pouted as he rubbed your leg.
“Daddy, I’m tired-“
“No, don’t ‘daddy’ me; unless you tryna get fucked right now, I suggest you get your cute ass up and follow me to kitchen,” Erik said sternly.
“Firstly, I’m always tryna get fucked,” you stated, smiling. He laughed, shaking his head.
“You’re a fool. Come on, y/n.” He said kissing your lips softly.
After putting on a onesie and taking off your bonnet, you followed Erik to the kitchen. His cousins Shuri and T’Challa were already in there, doing there best at following the instructions Erik had given them. Even queen-mother was helping; mixing the ingredients for the sweet potato pie.
“Goodmorning, sis,” Shuri yelled,” I see my cousin has decided to wake you up the proper way.” You tried your best to keep your laugh in but once she started, so did you.
“Fuck that supposed to mean?” Erik chided, mean mugging her from across the kitchen. Shuri shrugged her shoulders as she continued to peel the softened sweet potatoes.
“Nothing,” you giggled, rubbing his arms as he cut up some vegetables.
You love the way his scarred biceps looked in a tight white tshirt; the apron he wore was even more excruciatingly sexy than it needed to be and you knew you’d have a hard time focusing.
“You make food prep hella sexy, N’Jadaka,” you whispered. His gold fangs flashed as he smiled.
“You better stop playing before I take you to the bathroom, y/n,” Erik said, biting his lip.
“Alright, alright, put me in coach.”
“Aight, go help T with the mac and cheese. Then come back over here and you can mix the turkey drippings into the dressing; got it, cakes?” You nodded as Erik instructed you then went over to gather the cheeses to help T’Challa.
“Why do you call y/n ‘cakes’?” T’Challa asked innocently. You laughed quietly, placing the cheeses next to T’Challa’s workspace.
“Nigga, you don’t see all that cake she got? Matter fact, nevermind; I don’t need you looking.” Erik said, shaking his head.
“N’Jadaka, please do not discuss y/n in that matter while we are cooking,” Ramonda reprimanded.
“My bad, auntie,” Erik said shooting T’Challa an incredulous look.
“It’s okay, T. It’s an AAVE term,” you consoled him.
“It means she has a big ass,” Shuri said nonchalantly.
“Shuri, what did I just tell your cousin?!” Ramonda yelled.
“Sorry, mother!”
After putting the mac and cheese in the oven and mixing the dressing, you headed to the dining hall to see how the tablescape was coming along. You took your time at each seat, adjusting and folding the napkins and place settings.
“Is everything to your liking, y/n?”
You looked up to see the queen-mother looking at you lovingly.
“Everything is so beautiful, queen-mother. I’m elated to be here. Everything and everyone is so open and warm and inviting,” you said as she took a seat next to you. She placed her hand on yours, smiling warmly.
“I’m glad you feel safe enough to share this holiday with us. You’ve brought such happiness with you. Especially to N’Jadaka; this means a lot to him,” Ramonda noted.
“Here me when I say this, Y/N; you are filling a void in his heart that no one ever could. For so long he was lost and isolated; even after the challeneg had commenced he never celebrated like this until you. His love for you is so apparrent, he practically floats into the room when you are by his side,” Ramonda said, laughing. You laughed as well, looking down at your hand.
“Thank you for keeping him happy. I appreciate you. May your love span a thousand years. I will you see you for the festivities tomorrow; good night my dear,” she sighed, squeezing your hand.
“Good night, queen-mother.”
***
You heard Erik’s alarm go off at 6am and groaned. You felt him stir beneath you and you held on to him tighter.
“Baby, I gotta go check the food,” he yawned, rubbing your back.
“It can wait,” you said, yawning in response.
“I’ll bring you back a taste,” Erik bribed.
And with that, you rolled off of him with a quickness, causing him to chuckle. You drifted back to sleep for what felt like 5 seconds before Erik shook you awake. Once you sat up, he handed you a plate of dressing, a small piece of slow cooked pork, and a fork. You practically went to heaven as you took your first bite.
“Damn.. I still got it,” you moaned, silently congratulating yourself on how well seasoned the dressing was. Erik walked around to his side of the bed and shuffled through his drawer.
“If you’re looking for your kimoyo beads, you left them on the bathroom counter,” you informed him with your mouth full of dressing. You looked up to see him staring at you with his hands behind his back. He shuffled side to side and rolled his shoulders; it was telling. Erik usually did this when he was nervous. Or if he was about to ask you a favor.
“Alright, what you want?” you asked him.
“Damn, y/n, why you always think I want something? Why you gotta be like that?” He was stalling. But for what?
“Boy, stop playing and tell me what you want!” You watched as he knelt before you with a small black box in his hand.
“Aight then, cakes, I’ma tell you what I want. I want to spend every Thanksgiving and Christmas with you. I want to wake up knowing you’ll be next to me every morning. I want you to mother my children and help me put them in they place when they fuck up. I want to love you until the end of my days and that’s all I wanted since I first laid eyes on you in that record store; with your pretty brown eyes lighting up at the sight of that old ass Earth, Wind, & Fire vinyl. I want you, y/n, and only you. Forever.”
You watched with teary eyes as he opened the tiny black velvet box that held a black opal ring; lined with diamonds and vibranium scalloping. You placed your plate of food on the end table and reached forward to hold Erik’s face in your hands.
“I need to hear it. I need you to ask me, E,” you cried softly.
“Y/N, will you be my wife?” Erik asked, searching your eyes for an answer.
“Yes, N’Jadaka; I will be your wife til the end of time!” You were full on crying now, kissing all over his face as he struggled to hold in his emotions.
“Cakes, you gone let this stay in the box or..,” he trailed off, chuckling as you showered him with kisses. You held out your hand and he slid the ring onto your finger.
“There you are, Mrs. Stevens,” he smirked, wiping the tears that had fell on his face. You kissed his full lips passionately, wanting to savor every moment.
“I love you, N’Jadaka,” you hummed.
“I love you more, cakes,” Erik said, kissing from your cheek to your neck. You heard a knock and the door cracked open to reveal Shuri smiling giddly.
“Good, she said yes! I was beginning to think you had chickened out,” Shuri noted, clapping her hands.
“Nigga, you couldn’t have waited like I told you to? I’m tryna have a moment here, damn,” Erik berated.
“Aye, be glad I kept your secret til now; you were taking too long! I almost told her!” Shuri yelled in her defense. You laughed as you kissed your fiance’s cheek; taking in the banter of your soon to be family.
Best Thanksgiving ever.

Consolation Bride Masterlist
Turning in your bed you wonder why the mattress is soft and comfortable. You are used waking up having back pain due to the thin mattress on your bed.
Your eyes blink open and a pair of blue eyes search your face. A large palm is cradling your cheek as Bucky leans closer, trying to kiss your lips but you flinch away. Pushing against his chest.
He wants to say something, wants to stop you from getting out of the bed but you are faster, already grabbing your clothes to get ready for work.
“It’s 7 am, Baby Girl. Come back to bed.” Bucky mutters watching you grab your shoes. “I got no time for more sleep; unlike you, I have a job to earn money legally.” 
Bucky’s forehead wrinkles as he watches you opening the door to his bedroom. In a blink, he jumps out of the bed to slam the door shut before you can leave the room.
“You’ll come back to bed right now and sleep some more,” Bucky warns, glaring at you with stormy blue eyes. 
“I can’t. I need to eat, and I don’t like to steal food and to get stuff out of a dumpster is unhealthy.” You spat trying to grab the door handle, but your husband slaps your hand away.
“Last warning, Baby Girl.” Your husband towers over you, angrily clenching his jaw as he waits for your reaction. 
“Stop calling me like this! I know you called this woman Baby Girl too. You are disgusting. Jumping from one woman to another only as your precious Natasha betrayed you.” Cursing you slap his hand away when Bucky tries to touch you once again.
“You’re my wife. No one treats you like Natasha did.” Bucky mutters glaring at you. “I never called her Baby Girl either.”
“Since when? You ignored me, treated me like I’m a disgusting creature. You even spent our wedding night with this woman. I can’t even look at you without feeling the betrayal. I always adored and loved you. I tried anything to be a good wife even knowing you don’t want me. I thought you would at least treat me like a human being not like junk.” Now tears slip down your cheeks and Bucky tries to touch you again but you flinch away.
“Y/N, I made mistakes but please, Baby Girl give me a chance. We can be a good pair.” 
Scoffing you shake your head, not believing a single word leaving Bucky’s lips. Your eyes drift toward the bed, the bed he shared with another woman every night while you slept on a hard mattress in a cold room.
“Mistakes? If Steve didn’t come to save me this disgusting man would’ve violated and killed me! You would’ve been happy 'cause in that case my death meant freedom to you and your true love. I’m nothing but a cheap substitute or even worse you want to use me to show everyone what a fine man you are. Nothing you say will make me believe you are genuinely interested in my well being. Not 48 hours ago you would’ve been happy to see me dead – that’s the truth – nothing else.” 
Your chest heaves up and down as you begin to feel dizzy. Bucky tries to steady you recognizing you start to pass out, but you push him away causing you to fall to the ground.
----
“Maybe we should call Doctor Cho again? She said Y/N should’ve woken by now.” Sam mutters glancing at your unconscious form.
“Cho said the stress was too much. Y/N needs a rest. Did you quit her job for me?” Bucky barks pacing around his bedroom.
“Y/N won’t be happy. How shall she get food now, boss?” Sam retorts an angry expression all over his face.
“I’ll provide anything she needs, Wilson.” Bucky narrows his eyes glaring at Sam. “That’s none of your business either way.”
“Since when do you provide anything, Buck? As far as I know, Y/N had to sell her car, work at a diner and buy everything she needed to survive on her own. Hell, she slept in a cold storage room on the cheapest and hardest mattress I ever saw. You treat your dogs better than your wife.” Steve snarls circling his friend like prey. His eyes drift toward you lie on Bucky’s new bed and his features soften when you start flinching.
“She’s my wife, not yours. You managed to get divorced, Stevie. Keep your hands to yourself.” Bucky warns but Steve is rather unimpressed. Rushing to your side he checks on you before his friend gets the chance.
“If I would’ve ignored Y/N’s plight she would be damaged beyond repair or dead by now. I saved your wife as you are not able to protect her. Or rather as you didn’t care at all. Don’t act as if she means anything to you. Y/N is not a toy you can play with as your favorite toy is broken or preferred to let someone else play with her.” Steve is pissed and angry. He won’t let his friend hurt you even more.
“Y/N is still my wife!” 
Sam flinches at his bosses’ outburst. He knows Bucky far too long to interfere right now, so he remains silent, motioning Clint to follow him outside.
“Wife…sure. This means nothing to you. You’re a selfish little boy trying to replace one toy with another. I will not let you hurt her even more. She suffered for months. I know everything. The dinner she prepared from her spared money, Y/N told me about it…” Steve’s eyes never leave your face as you start sobbing in your sleep.
“She did…” Bucky whispers remembering the pained expression all over your face. That night he broke something inside of you. He could see the light in your eyes fading every day more since then. “I had a bad day and ate on my way home. Y/N was so sugar sweet and I couldn’t bear it. I hate her father with every fiber of my body for killing my brother. He forced me into this marriage, Steve.” 
“No reason to hurt Y/N. She was never part of his business. Y/N lived in France with her mother until she died. You knew that Y/N always was afraid of her father. You didn’t see the smile on her face the day you married her, because she thought you will protect her. Y/N was wrong��” Steve whispers taking your hand in his, kissing your knuckles softly. “Give her to me, Buck. I’ll love her the way she deserves it. You can marry someone suiting your taste. Someone slutty and cold-hearted like Natasha.”
“Y/N is mine. You will keep your greedy fingers off her, or we are done!” Bucky warns but Steve keeps on watching you. His fingers gently brush a few strands out of your face, and you start stirring.
Bucky’s hands ball into fists seeing his best friend touching his wife. Steve has no right to judge his intentions. He’s got no clue what Bucky feels right now.
“Get away from her…now,” Bucky warns as you blink your eyes open, meeting worried blue eyes. Steve smiles at you, taking your hand in his to plant a soft kiss to the palm.
“Hey. How do you feel?” Steve whispers as your eyes land on Bucky. Flinching away out of instinct you look away, starting to shake again. “Don’t worry. No one will hurt you, Y/N. Promised. You passed out.”
“I felt dizzy. I think my blood sugar is too low. I haven’t eaten since work. I had half a sandwich at work. Bruce made me one.” You whisper and Bucky gasps. He forgot about dinner and dragged you into his bedroom.
“Low blood sugar?” Bucky asks but you do not react, just looking at Steve who gently strokes your hand. 
“Are you diabetic, Y/N?” Steve whispers and you nod, pointing toward your pants. “I got some old sweets in my pockets, just in case. Stress and all make it worse.” Your voice is thin, and you look weaker than ever before as Steve gets up to check your pockets.
All he can find are five dollars, an old picture of you and Bucky as you were kids and a sticky sweet. “Uh…that’s sticky. I don’t think you can eat this.” Steve stammers looking at the sweet.
“It’s fine. I like these French sweets, mom used to buy me, but these are cheaper.” You shrug taking the sticky sweets out of his hands. “It does the job even if it’s not delicious. You have to spare as a waitress.” Steve’s eyes water watching you eat the old sweet to regulate your blood sugar.
“Y/N…I didn’t know.” Bucky gasps as Steve moves his fingers through your hair, not taking his eyes off you.
“You know nothing about me as you never cared. I’ll leave as soon as I packed my stuff. You can get your Natasha back. I don’t care any longer. I accepted you will never even like me, James. Just let me go, we never consummated marriage so we can have an annulment.”
“You never…” Steve’s eyes drift toward your embarrassed face and the words die in his throat. 
“I want you to leave me and my wife alone now.” Bucky’s voice is lower now, dangerous and Steve knows he must be careful if he wants to win you over. Starting a fight or being violently in front of you is the wrong way.
“I’ll come back later to check on Y/N. I’ll call Doctor Cho to ask her about diabetes.” Steve states leaning over you to plant a soft kiss to your hair. “He won’t hurt you, promised.
“Of course not!” Bucky curses. “She’s my wife. Now leave the room so I can take care of her. I’m her husband – not you, Steven. I can handle this situation. No need to come around.”
“I’ll come around later, Buck. You can’t stop me.” Steve smirks before he looks at you one last time. “I’m going to win her heart over, Bucky. I’m a free man, and unlike you, I have feelings for Y/N.” Steve whispers the last words into his friends’ ear.
Bucky watches his friend leave the room, ignoring his racing heart before he turns around only to see you turned away from him to curl into a ball. 
“Y/N, please talk to me. I quit your job. I want you to get healthy again and we can talk about your duties as my wife. I want you to come with me on a business trip next month. France…you like France – right?” Bucky stammers sitting next to you on the bed.
“I hate France. It’s the place my mother got murdered. Do you believe I would love it? It was my home once, now it’s the place I lost the only person ever loving me.” You whisper not looking at Bucky.
“Goddammit! I can’t do anything right.” He curses himself as his hand wanders to your back, gently stroking it. You ignore the tingling in your body as you know it’s only a matter of time he finds someone taking Natasha’s place.
“I never said you shall try…” Voice cracking you close your eyes. “It’s too late to fix anything. We are not meant to be, James. It’s better this way. We will part ways and no one gets hurt any longer. I’m too tired to keep on trying. I’m just done…”
----
“I want all the information about James Buchanan Barnes, his business…anything.” Steve orders and Tony raises an eyebrow. “Don’t you know everything about your best buddy?” 
“I know what he let me know, Tony. I need to know every dirty detail. Y/N is not safe with Bucky any longer, or rather she never was. Not 48 hours ago Brock managed to get close to her due to my friend's mistake.” Steve says and Tony looks around the room, glancing at the picture of Sharon on Steve’s desk.
“What happened to you and Sharon? I thought she was the one.” Tony’s eyes meet Steve’s, but he refuses to answer. “Steve?”
“She realized I’m in love with someone else. I wanted to marry Y/N for years. I offered her father anything he wanted but he refused. He’s a cruel man. Her father knew Bucky will hate his daughter and still he forced him to marry her.” Steve grabs the picture of Sharon, tossing it into the bin. “I’ll win her over – no matter what…”
“I’ll get you all the needed information but in the end, Y/N needs to make a decision.”
“For the first time in her life, she will be the one deciding, Tony. I’ll accept her decisions, no matter what, but this doesn’t mean I can’t play dirty…”
----
“Please give me a chance to make it up to you. There is a reason I treated you badly. Your father is responsible for my brother’s death.” Bucky says as he lies down behind you.
“I know, James. I was there and heard the rumors. That’s one reason I tried anything to make you happy, to be a good wife. I bore every harsh word, anything to make you feel better. I thought one day you would see I’m not like my father. I didn’t expect you to love someone else and hating me that much.” You don’t look at Bucky, don’t react when moves closer to kiss your neck.
“Do you remember when the night after you turned eighteen?” His arms wrap tightly around your body and it reminds you of the night you were happy with him. The night before your father sent you and your mother away. The night you lost your virginity to Bucky. 
“No…” You lie. It was the best night of your life as you felt loved by the man you loved since you are five years old. “Why should I remember something happening almost six years ago?” Sniffling you fall silent as Bucky presses his body closer to yours, grazing your jugular with his nose.
“You were so beautiful and all the tiny noises you made. We had to be silent to not let your father hear us. I know you remember the night we made love, Y/N.” His voice low, seducing Bucky tries anything to bring good memories back, but you refuse to give in.
“Not love. You used me like any other girl. My father got mad knowing you deflorated his good girl the next day and sent me and mom away. I was barely gone, and you had someone else. I was no one special. That night was nothing special to you. As always you had what you wanted and lost interest.” Your voice trembles at the memory of Wanda sending you pictures of Bucky kissing another girl not one week after touching you.
“How do you want to know? That’s a lie!” Bucky growls. “I wasn’t with someone else.”
“I saw the pictures, James. You kissed this girl. What was her name? Maria? I still had friends in New York not forgetting about me. They stayed in contact and made me see I must forget about you. I was a mess after my father forced me to leave you behind.” Now the tears start falling remembering the betrayal you felt.
“Y/N, it was a kiss. I was tipsy and at a party. She kissed me… I never felt anything for her. I missed you back then.” Bucky whispers but you ignore his words.
“I never even looked at another boy in France. I dreamed of the day I can see you again but then…” Your voice cracks as you glance at your wedding band. “You had Natasha and I knew I never meant shit to you…” Trembling in your husband's arms you slide the ring off your finger, letting it fall to the ground.
“I will not give you up. You’re my wife. You’re mine – always should’ve been only mine. Steve can’t touch you. I…please…” Bucky tightens his hold on you, seeing the ring lie abandoned onto the floor. “I’ll make you see I can be a good husband.”
“I always was only yours, James…”
“No one else?” Now Bucky lifts his head, glancing at your face as you bury your head into the pillow. “Should’ve used the opportunity to fuck anyone crossing my path as you did. I was waiting for you to bring me home.”
“Y/N…” Gasps leave Bucky’s lips and you can feel his erection grow against you. “Only mine…”
“No…James. No more yours…”
“I’ll make sure you are only mine. I’m your husband, you are my wife. No one will keep you away from me ever again…”
“What if I do love Steve…?”
Bucky feels a pull at his heart hearing the words he always feared leaving your lips. Steve can never have you. Bucky rather dies than giving you up…
----
“Boss, I got something juicy. I’m sure Bucky will give her up if you use this against him…” Clint chuckles.
“Shit, that’s bad…” Steve glances at the information Clint found. 
If he uses this information you will turn your back toward Bucky, but can he willingly destroy his friendship with Bucky and hurt you only to get what he wants?

First of all, an explanation about certain words that I will use: - things like 'daughters', 'mother' and 'sisters' is not in the sense of family, but of creation, superiority in a more friendly way, and closeness.
After all, gems have no family. Not until Steven. It is a simple connection that has no words, that's why I use those. If it bothers you, my apologies. You can change the words for others, if that is what you prefer.
Also, as always, sorry if there are mistakes ^w^'
Chapter 5: Era 0
It was a warm and bright morning when Steven Universe was woken up by a commotion below. Still a bit sleepy, but worried about what might have happened, Steven ran down the stairs, almost hitting the wall. He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at first, until he saw smoke coming from the kitchen. He headed there, somewhat amused by what he saw. Amethyst, Pearl, and Spinel were covered in bread dough, flour, and... something he guessed was cream. The smoke was coming from the oven, apparently.
"What are you doing?" He asked, holding back his laughter. The gems looked at him somewhat embarrassed. Well, Amethyst seemed to be having fun more than anything, and Pearl seemed worried, trying to get rid of the smoke. Spinel, however, looked at the ground with a really red face.
"I... I just wanted to make you the brakefat" she mumbled, trying to explain.
"Don't you mean 'breakfast'?" the purple gem snickered, one hand over her mouth. She couldn't resist, really. That pink gem was very... cartoonish. And funny.
"Ha ha ha" Spinel mocked her, annoyed by the other's attitude "It was your fault it ended up like this. You told me to..." Their discussion stopped short when they heard Steven's free laugh. When was the last time he laughed like that? None of them remembered. And the heart-shaped gem was very captivated. Amethyst snickered again at the sight of Spinel's face, which brought her out of that state.
"S-shut up!" she complained, he cheeks flushed. Ame laughed again.
"Ok, ok. I'll stop now." she got off the counter, brushed off the food scraps and headed in front of Spinel "To make it up to you, how about I take you to the funniest place in all Beach City?"
That invitation was... very tempting, she had to admit. And Spinel smiled enthusiastically, forgetting the disaster that surrounded them.
"Now, Amethyst? Really?" Pearl pointed at the mess, almost hoping they would understand her. She knew better than that tho.
"I don't see what's the problem. Spinel still needs a tour of the city" the purple shrugged, completely unconcerned.
"Amethyst!" Pearl yelled annoyed.
Spinel, once clean, approached Steven, arm in arm, watching the scene in front of them. It was funnier than her misfortune on her first attempt at cooking.
"We better get going, before Pearl makes us clean everything up too" Steven whispered, walking in the direction of the door.
"Wait! Steven...!" Amethyst yelled running after them, ignoring Pearl, who kept talking about how irresponsible she was. Ah, the old days...
It didn't take long for the three of them to get to the Big Donut. After running part of the way, of course. Breathing somewhat ragged, Steven looked at Amethyst.
"Amethyst, why, ah, this sudden interest in being a guide?" He asked somewhat curious, still catching his breath.
"Eh, no reason. Someone has to do it" she replied absently.
Noticing how the smaller gem got all of Spinel's attention, Steven snorted, somewhat irritated. He could be a guide too. He had done it many other times, after all, hadn't he?
"Hey Ame-" He was interrupted again by the purple who made a loud exclamation as she pointed to another place, managing to capture Spinel's attention even more.
Steven grunted. The purple gem kept walking, showing and pointing at everything in their path, Spinel behind her as she looked at Steven with concern. It hadn't escaped her attention how very dejected the boy looked. The brunet's good humor seemed to have vanished the moment Amethyst had offered to accompany them.
"Spinel, look over there!" Amy exclaimed again, pointing to one of the buildings there. They were in Little Homeworld now "There are the gems I mentioned earlier. Come on"
Steven hadn't realized, until now, that she had been talking about other gems, or that they had arrived at Little Homeworld. They both approached the center, Amethyst calling out to said gems, while Steven lagged behind. Today nothing was going well. It was too early for this. He sighed, his hands fisted in his pockets. He did not want anyone to see him in that state. And it was ridiculous, to be honest. There was no reason to be upset. He should be happy for Spinel.
"Lapis! Peri! Bis!" she called again. The three mentioned gems appeared shortly after, Bismuth carrying a heavy weight on one of her shoulders.
"Hey Amethyst!" The smallest gem greeted, being caught by one of the arms of the purple gem "Stop it!" she complained, managing to get rid of it "You know how much I hate when you mess with my hair"
"Heh. Whatever you say dwarf" she stuck out her tongue. Peridot hid behind Bismuth, her cheeks puffed out.
"And who is this gem?" Lapis Lazuli asked, noticing the pink one.
Spinel looked away, seeming to be looking for something, or someone, before approaching Steven and wrapping her arm with his. She was feeling nervous again.
"It's okay" Steven reassured her, and turned his attention to the blue gem, at whom he smiled "Lapis, this is Spinel. She is new, and today she is here to learn a little about our planet, right?" He looked back at Spinel. Spinel nodded, implying that it was true.
"Nice to meet you, Spinel. I am Lapis, Lapis Lazuli. The dwarf gem is Peridot. And the gigantic gem over there is Bismuth.
"Diamonds are bigger" Spinel commented on impulse.
Well it was true. Bismuth was small compared to the matriarchs. Lapis snorted, especially when she saw the shocked faces of her companions.
"I like this gem~"
Spinel beamed at her accomplishment. Even if that was not her intention. She wasn't as rusted as she had originally believed. Steven was an exception.
The rest of the day they took a detour. The gems were telling stories, taking again all Spinel's attention. Amethyst was the one in front of the entire group, leading animatedly. Steven stayed behind once more, noticing how Spinel was acclimatizing. Soon she wasn't going to need him... It was Bismuth who noticed this, heading back, until she was next to Steven.
"Hey, buddy? What's wrong?"
"Bismuth?" he was surprised to see her there. He shook his head and with a forced smiled said "it's nothing"
The multicolored gem frowned, not believing him at all. It was clear that the hybrid was upset about something.
"Come on, tell Aunt Bis what's wrong?" she insisted.
The boy sighed again, knowing that the other was not going to give up. His gaze fell on Spinel, who was talking to Lapis, as she showed her one of the trees. Spinel seemed amazed.
"It's just that I thought I could help her" referring to the gem with two pigtails.
"I don't see the problem, it seems to me that you're already helping her"
"That's what it looks like, isn't it? But I didn't do anything. The others are the ones helping her. Showing her everything. Telling her everything she needs to know. And I don't know how..." he complained hands in his hair.
"Steven. You, better than anyone, know that you cannot pressure others to do what you want, even if your intentions are good" she admonished him.
The hybrid was embarrassed to notice that this was what he had been doing.
"Besides, isn't it your presence that makes her feel so relax around us? If you look closely, you will notice that you do more than you think. Give yourself more credit, Steven. You deserve it. "
She patted him on the shoulder, before returning to Lapis's side, changing the subject, noticing Peridot and Amethyst were about to start an argument.
"I guess you're right..." Steven whispered, relieved.
(In Beach City)
It didn't take Pearl long to clean up the mess in the kitchen, plus Garnet was waiting for her on top of the portal, so she didn't have time to lose.
Today they were going to visit the diamonds. Cleaning helped her with her nervousness.
"Pearl, we don't have all day," Fusion reminded her patiently. She didn't want to go either, but it was for Steven's good.
"Yes. Of course. You're right, Garnet" the pale gem sighed, before putting away her cleaning supplies. Better to get this over with as soon as possible.
They both immediately traveled to Homeworld, appearing in front of the gigantic thrones. The diamonds were nowhere to be seen.
"Well, here we are. How do we do this, Garnet?" Pearl asked, her hands entwining between them. She still didn't like the place, tho this was her first home.
"We have to find the Diamonds. Or the pearls. They will know where to find the Diamonds" replied the fusion calmly, noticing the room full of other gems.
"Right, come on then!" exclaimed the other nervously. The fusion followed her, preferring to keep quiet. Some things never really change, do they?
They had been walking from hall to hall for at least half an hour trying to find someone who could help them before finding that someone.
"Blue Pearl..." Pearl whispered. The last time they saw each other, not counting what happened two years ago, was shortly after the war began.
The blue pearl seemed to have a good hearing, because she turned in their direction, her hands clasped as they usually are. She tilted her head slightly, before speaking.
"Blue Diamond is busy with a meeting with Yellow Diamond" she said, intuiting in part the reason why two of the members of the Crystal Gems were present.
"Ah...! Yeah? T-then we'll go talk to White Diamond" replied Pearl nervously but almost challenging.
"Wait" Garnet looked closely at Blue Pearl "Maybe you can help us" she finally decided.
"Me?" she said softly.
"Garnet?" Pearl questioned her friend.
"I'm curious. I've heard of a very interesting story about the first Era" she lied easily "and I would like to know more about it"
A few seconds passed, before Blue Pearl decided to give them an answer. By way of following them, because all she did was walk in another direction. The palest gem had her doubts, but trusted her friend's judgment. They spent some time going through the corridors, before reaching their objective. Pearl gasped, immediately recognizing the place. The Great Library about Gems and their History. She believed her entry had been forbidden before she was created. She must have said that outloud, because Blue Pearl replied with a:
"It was reopened recently. It has been several millennia since I was last here..." her dreamy gaze under her bangs was positioned over the other Pearl "Something you never could" Pearl felt irritation bloom inside her. She knew she was teasing her, even if neither her tone of voice, nor her words, showed it.
"Right. That's why I'm here" she admitted with difficulty. The hand on her back made her feel better. At least she had someone's support "Come on, Garnet"
In Homeworld, things like night and day didn't exist. There was always light, albeit artificial. The library that Pearl and Garnet were in was no different from the rest of the planet. It was huge, cold, and empty, apart from the few gems, and many, many files. All in the form of a somewhat old and difficult to read writings - more by the method of recording such information than by the language itself. Time didn't seem to pass.
"We've been here for many hours, I think, Garnet. And we haven't found anything! Are you sure this is the right place? It would be quicker to ask the diamonds." Pearl kept complaining. If she was on Earth, she would have been excited about this research. But she was too uncomfortable.
"No. This is the place. Here we will find our answers. If at some point the Diamonds give us information, we can contrast it with what we find here."
"But the Diamonds were the ones who created this place. They are the ones who have lived the history of the gems since the beginning. Or at least White did." the last thing was mumbled, a little unsure.
"Mmm"
The two kept silent, still searching through the sea of information, their patience wearing thin.
"Aha! Here! I found it!" Pearl exclaimed with a shout of joy. At last! "Let me see..."
The pale gem began to read aloud:
"Entry XXXXX - 6
This writing is a testimony of the times. ERA 0.
Thousands of years ago, the Guardians were created, formed by the great authority, White Diamond. The Great Creator, that's what they called her in those days.
This was an opportunity, a new community, created from the power of The Great Creator. Our Queen, in her benevolence, gave each gem created from her light her own gems, and thus create great cities and discovered more worlds. A whole colony. The First of many others.
Tourmaline. Tanzanite. Moissanite. These were the three great Guardians. The first gems created by The Great Star. Powerful as they were, they weren't perfect. They made mistakes, being punished by The Great Creator, turned into permanent statues to maintain their eternal vigilance over the entrances of each new world. What did their 'daughters' do to receive such a destiny, you ask? Breaking the only law that existed during the Era 0: The separation of two Gem Mates.
Shortly after another law was created: Vindicta.
[ Gem Mates are gems that are made to be together forever. Made to be understood. Made to never feel alone. Their bodies of light, their music, everything in them is in sync. Much more than a fusion could ever be. They call it: The Final Union. If for some reason a GemMate is destroyed or is too far from its half, its lights will fade, agonisingly slowly. Some take longer, others turn off suddenly. There are records of these events in entry XXXXVI - 19 ]
Tourmaline was jealous of the closeness between Tanzanite and Moissanite, her sisters. They were both Gemmates, so it wasn't a surprise. But, as the story goes, Tourmaline was madly 'in love' - that's what she called it, that feeling - Painful but the most wonderful thing she had ever felt.
One day, she saw them together sharing their light. Fusion. That moment of intimacy was what made her act impulsively, pulling out her sledgehammer - a weapon that was created to protect, not to destroy - and take down one of her sisters. Tanzanite. When the Guardian came back to herself, The Great Creator was present. Moissanite, hurt by the loss, asked for one last wish to her Queen, before she herself ceased to exist. Their wish was granted with the idea that they would give up, or lose the will to commit such a crime. Such was her mistake...
The fighting was fierce and devastating. All the gems present were watching from a distance, shouting, asking for the tragedy to stop. They had never seen anything so devastating as the fight and separation of their Guardians. They asked for mercy. White Diamond granted their wish. She had had enough.
"For having broken the universal law, for separating what should never have been separated, and for the use of the Vindicta, I condemn you to an eternity as statues" said this, the Great Authority threw a powerful light, turning their companions in what today are known as statues, objects of admiration; and soon after, historic art walls were created to never forget what happened.
Some time later, perhaps due to the loss of her daughters, The Queen created two more gems. Blue and Yellow Diamond. The New Authority. Welcome to Era 1.
End of Entry
White Sapphire, the Queen's Clairvoyant "
That was all. It was not the only entry on this same topic, but the first of many others. Apparently they were going to spend a lot more time in the Great Library about Gems and their History than they thought.
They both looked at each other with a triumphant smile. At least now they had knew where to start.
What did you think of my entry? I have my own version of the Gems history, something that will be part of my Fic.
It will not be 100% well done, sure, but I hope you find it interesting, and you like it~ xP

"Dating Saul Hudson/(Slash⚡) Would be Like..." Headcannon
(a/n: written w/ a black reader in mind; Likes/COMMENTS/reblogs are much obliged)
Tumblr media
It is what it is. You both are pretty big shit and very important people.
Aside from Slash being the guitarist of GnR, you aren't just "someone he was seeing".
You are an actor and you've starred in countless award winning movies and tv shows, many of which Slash has seen and very much enjoyed!
He crossed paths with you in the pet store as you were both getting food for your respective pets.
He found it bitchin' that you have a pet tarantula named "Citrus".
You two IMMEDIATELY hit it off like you were highschool friends catching up on life.
Your relationship is filled with playfulness and a sense of long lost friendship AND EVERYONE RAVES ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF HOW FUCKING CUTE YOU BOTH ARE UNINTENTIONALLY!
Slash is all for PDA because "Even the most badass of people, need love too."
He "borrows" your shit A LOT and keeps them for weeks at a time😩
Stole your special Robert Plant signed limited edition Led Zeppelin shirt once and played dumb when you went looking for it. It randomly appeared again in your drawer a month later and you didn't put 2 and 2 together until you saw Slash on tv wearing it during an MTV interview.
Mutual roastings of each other on the daily😂
He has his hat and you have a beret collection and he FLAMES THE FUCK OUT OF YOU FOR IT!!!!
"Saul leave me and my berets alone!" "But they're so flat and like......not cool-" "Bitch YOU'RE not cool. Give me my choker back!😭" *proceeds to move his hand towards your neck* "NOT THAT ONE!!!!"
You LOVE watching films together; on Friday nights when neither of you are busy, you both run over to the Blockbuster close to your house and play around looking for movies to binge all weekend. He picks the action and adventure films and you pick the horror films (you were the one who actually got him into horror and things of that nature😝)
He lets you play with and braid his hair down while you're watching stuff together, he won't admit it but it soothes him and puts him right to sleep.
Which brings us to the BIG EVENT...........WASH DAAAAYYYSSSSS!!!!!✨✨✨
You both actually look forward to doing wash days together! Slash more than anything because he likes to see what techniques and products you use to acquire maximum volume and curls✨
Slash actually has MORE hair products than you do and you more often than not, make off with it, but it's okay because he has enough to go around and he believes in healthy hair😊 (we stan a king that advocates for hair care✨)
Sometimes it takes 12 solid hours for you both to get your shit done but you like to get in the shower together when you wash/rinse your hair to save time.........and for other reasons(; BUT MOSTLY TO SAVE TIME👀👉👈
Most of the day consists of the both of you walking around the house in your underwear and nothing else except for the towel wrapped around y'alls heads but that's about it!
90% of y'alls relationship is based around Slash not wearing a shirt around the house and you've come to terms with that.
Your moral support is OFF THE CHARTS!
Whenever Guns n' Roses performs you always get tickets especially if the tour stop lines up with your schedule for a filming location! Everyone fucks with you, you're down to earth and even kick it with the roadies sometimes (especially if they've got good weed amirite fellas😁)
Out of the boys in GnR you're cool with all of them but closest to Steven because you set him up with one of your co-stars, and Duff because you gave him a bass guitar that he really wanted from a film you were in that the Property Master was just gonna throw away.
Slash enjoys surprising you while you're working as well! He loves to watch you in action, kicking ass at your roles and truly watching you be skilled in something you enjoy💕
It lowkey gets him riled up😏
He begs you to act out your lines at home because he literally enjoys seeing you turn into a whole new person and then shift back to normal, then he fanboys a little😂
"Holy fucking shit Y/N is rehearsing in my fucking bedroom-"
You cut him off with a kiss and then BOOM. Roleplay sex😃!
One thing you love doing is laying in the middle of your living room floor and playing old blues albums with him, y'all are just laid out vibing together.
Sometimes you smoke green for elevated affect, sometimes you don't but either way it's a very intimate experience.
It leads to deep conversations that can span from the night into the early morning, you both talk about success, goals, fears, inspirations, literally any and everything.
When it comes to celebrity couples you two are by far a fan favorite.
The chemistry is undeniable and you both have that sense of solidarity in similarities that keep you both strong whenever it comes to dealing with news from unwanted press or whomever has unintelligible shit to say.
You both just DO NOT give a fuck, and it's one of the most admirable things about the both of you to others💯
And it's fucking WHOLESOME and it's sweet💜
Y'ALL CUTE AS FUCK. PERIOD.

WOW everyone who commented on my Wirt birthday post are amazing!
Here’s the au I’ve been working on where it started off as just a Ford Pines self insert, but turned into very interesting idea!
Stanley is kicked out and Ford goes to Backupsmore, while Penny stays in Jersey to help pay off her childhood home’s mortgage. All in the early 1970s.
Ford is awarded a doctorate 3 years ahead of schedule, and prepares to move to Gravity Falls, Oregon in 1973.
In the same instant, Ford gets a call from his parents and after he tells them he’s moving to the northwest, they inform him of Penny living with them. Shocked, Ford is conflicted. Should he go to his sweetheart? He couldn’t imagine what could’ve happened that made her stay in his parents home… After consulting with Fiddleford, he quickly travelled back to Jersey to confront Penny.
Penny explains that she couldn’t take care of the house like she thought she could, what with her book-keeping job as well as her secretary position AND the pressure from it all really weighing her down. She couldn’t help her home anymore so she turned to the only people she knew left in Glass Shard-- Filbrick and Caryn Pines. She had been pulling her weight with buying food, despite Caryn’s pleas to rest whenever she could and her job offers.
Ford listened and took her side. He said he was moving out West to Oregon and had wanted her to come with him. He missed her dearly and could clearly see she needed to get away-- Jersey is no place for a princess.
She accepts in a heartbeat at the thought of living out there, alone with her sweetheart amongst the wood.
1972-1979 Penny and Ford start a life of adventure in Gravity Falls up in their cabin in the woods, catalouging new anomalies every day! After such a hard time, Penny adores the relaxing atmosphere and spending time with her boyfriend after 3(ish) years.
C. 1976 Penny can’t help but begin to think about the future with Ford, and tries to decide whether or not they should marry. In her heart she knows she wants to, but in her mind she feels as though Ford wouldn’t be as on board for whatever reason. After speaking with Susan (Lazy Susan) and Lana (Wendy’s mom), her newfound friends, she decides she has to speak with Ford!
After being avoided most of the day by her beloved (due to him being very distracted by the mystery of the Hide-Behind, and eventually their unavoidable run-in with it. emotional scenes with Penny’s annoyed tone) At the end of the day, Ford admits over dinner that he was avoiding her for the whole day due to his nervousness. After being asked why, he tells her that… “I’ve been fascinated by anomalies my whole life-- the Hide-Behind, the Gnomes, the Eyebats, that UFO theory I’ve still got stuck in my head--” “Stanford, please.” “--Even I, as normal as I may seem, my six fingers made me who I am today! … But… “ Ford reaches in his coat’s pocket, and pulls something from it and places it on the dinner table. “You, Penelope Wright, have been the one thing that’s done both for me-- Fascinated me, baffled me, cherished me, twirled me ‘round and ‘round again ‘til I was dizzy with delight.” “Ford, what’re ya sayin’?” “Penny, dearest... “ He reveals the item, it being a ring with the sweetest red gem in its center shaped like a rounded heart. Penny sniffled, “The apple… Stanford, you’re such a prince!” Before he could utter those four simple words, Penny kissed him breathless. When she pulled away, he was flushed from his ears to his nose and asked her then, whispered against her lips. She said yes, and then many times that night.
C. 1977 Bill realizes his plan is being challenged by this engagment! He had never thought of Penny to be a true problem until now, what with the now foretold probability of the wedding and children as a distraction! Bill makes a deal with Lana to guide Ford to the cave in which Bill was scribed by the natives in exchange for a long life. Ford summons Bill and to no avail, nothing happens until Ford falls asleep.
It was then Ford dreams about Bill and begins to work with him to open his dimension to study the weirdness of Gravity Falls and beyond.
With the new development in the mysteries, the wedding is delayed and Ford and Penny become very busy in their new findings with Bill’s help.
C. 1978 Fiddleford McGucket is employed as the head engineer in building the Portal to the other dimension. Upon hearing the news of Stanford’s engagment, he hoorah’d and congradulated his old roommate.
C. 1978-1979 The portal has been built, as well as the bunker and the second level of the basement. Fiddleford begins to despise his creation and begs Ford not to follow through with his plans and instead publish his findings and settle down properly with Penny. Ford declines and they move to test the portal the next day, Jan 18th 1979.
Jan 19th 1979. Fiddleford gets sucked into the portal, but then gets rescued by Penny and quits the whole she-bang.
Jan 20th, 1979. Bill sees that he has to manipulate Penny, too. She’d been taking Fidds’ side, and since she’s very close with Ford, it’s necessary. He enters her dreams and states that if she make a deal with him, he can make him see reality again. To Penny’s knowledge, Ford’s been driven to madness with his paranoia and struggles to see the light. Bill says that he can fix everything. If he ensconced a baby in Penny’s womb, one that’s both her’s and Ford’s completely, he will see the light again. In return, she has to take a hike. She makes the deal, and he ultimately sends her away. Confused, she cries. But when Bill explains that he basically makes her pregnant with a baby of a man that ‘doesn’t love her anymore’, and literally told her to ‘take a hike’. Embarrassed and humiliated, she flees into town and stays there, leaving Bill to torment Ford to his isoceles heart’s delight.
Sometime in October, before the 22nd, 1979. Penny gives birth to little Walter in Sacred Hirsch Community Hospital. At this point in time, Ford has been thrown into the portal by accident and Stanley has taken his place, in the process of making money for the new Murder Hut.
1980. Penny interrogates this new so-called Mr. Mystery, thinking he’s Ford. She rips at him, accusing him of neglecting her and hurting her. A lot of anger comes out, as well as sadness and despair and raw misery when she says that he no longer cared about her, and she doubted he ever had in the first place. When Stan pulls her to the side and finally looks her in the face clearly (before he was frantically looking around the room, his hut full of customers), he recognizes her faintly as Penelope Wright, the girl Sixer was in kahoots with back in Jersey. He sees her and the now crying baby she’s holding and connects the dots, and is flabbergasted that he’s an uncle! Well, he was already an uncle but that was for Shermie! Penny argues that it was a mistake. Little Walter was the making of a demon named Bill Cipher, and she never should have trusted him. Stan then takes her down to the basement and shows her what he’s done.
1981. Penny gets a job as a waitress at Greasy’s Diner with a little help from Lazy Susan.
1982. Penny needs to start fresh. Despite the fact that she’s got a job and is living with Stanley with a 3 year old Wirt (despite being named Walter, his first word was an attempt at ‘squirt’, which was a nickname given to him by Stanley. Everyone simply calls him Wirt now), she misses all the adventure from when she had Ford. Realizing she’s missing Ford, that son of a bitch that fell into a hole so deep he couldn’t climb out, she needs to get away. She saves up money from her Greasy’s job and now the Mystery Shack (unofficially hired. Stan just says that she’s always rearranging and flipping stuff over and it happens to look nice so he gives her some funds. She’s tried to refuse the money before, but he intensly insisted that she take it.) and moves to Arizona. Teary goodbyes are made and she hugs Stan the tightest of all, telling him to keep in touch.
1983-1994. Walter “Wirt” Wright is living in Arizona with his mother, Penelope Wright.
C. 1985. Greg Universe visits town and performs a live gig and seduces Penny. After a couple of succesful dates, they end up having unprotected sex. Not long after, he leaves town for another gig in Delmarva, doing gigs along the way. She ends up falling pregnant and struggles to comprehend the consequences.
C. 1986. Gregory Wright is born.
C. 1994. Halloween night, Wirt and Greg experience an adventure in The Unknown.
1999. Mason and Mabel Pines are born from Randy Pines and Kathy Pines
(2003. Steven Universe is born from Gregory “Universe” DeMayo and Pink “Rose Quartz” Diamond. Everything that happens with Steven is seperate from Dipper, Mabel, Wirt, and Greg.)
Update - Summer 2012. Penny takes a vacation to Gravity Falls and visits the Mystery Shack. She marvels at Dipper and Mabel and exclaims their cuteness. Mabel likes her when she’s given a butterscotch, but Dipper can’t help but question her motives. She seems awfully close with Stan and gets along well with everyone! Is she hiding something?
All is well until Dipper catches Penny trying to steal Journal #3, and he fights with her over it in his bedroom. Penny falls down and cracks something, making her scream. Stan rushes upstairs and takes Penny away, giving Dipper a nasty stinkeye. He tries to argue that she was trying to take his Journal, and Stan reacts by taking it himself.
Stan and Penny argue in the basement, saying that Dipper should have the Journal back. Stan tries to argue that he shouldn’t, but gives in. After making photocopies, Penny gives it back to Dipper. At first Dipper is skeptical, but awes when she tears up in front of him about it.
“Wow… You really care about the author, don’t you?” “Yeah, we were close…” She sits down beside him, opening the Journal to the Gnomes. “I remember the first time we saw the gnomes together… They tried to take me as queen!” “No way! They took Mabel as queen two weeks ago!” DIpper interjected, to which Penny laughed. “That explains this, then!” She pointed her crooked finger to the words; “Weakness: LEAFBLOWERS!” They both laughed.
At the end of it all, Dipper trusted Penny infineitly more. He was also more curious, as she knew the author. She wouldn’t give him a straight answer, however. Just saying he reminded her of her own son, Walter.
Penny stays in Gravity Falls until the Twins’ Birthday is over and they’re heading off to California.
August 22-25 2012. Weirdmageddon takes place. Penny serves as a scavenger and is found by McGucket and taken back to the Mystery Shack to be protected. She joins in the fight to defeat Bill Cipher, and when everyone’s in the Fearamid, it’s the first time Penny’s seen Stanford in nearly 33 years. He begins by saying hello, and saying he missed her. Before he can say anything further, she hugs him tightly, saying that he can apologize later. He prepares to retort, but when seeing Fidds’ face in response, he quietly hushes and hugs her back.
August 28 2012. Ford apologizes for how he acted and what he had done to her, like he always should have. She tells him about their son Wirt and he’s shocked. She tells him the deal she made and how she moved out of the state. After that conversation he hugs her tight and says she never should have gone through that. If he were a better man back then, she wouldn’t have had to make a deal to have a baby.
The same day, Mabel secretly arranges a wedding for her Grunkle Ford and new ‘Grauntie Penny’. Stan is on the sidelines for the whole occassion, but finally takes his brothers side as the Best Man. Mabel is the flower girl and Dipper bares the rings, while Susan is her maid of honor. Stanford promises to protect and cherish her for as long as he lives. Penny promises to care for him and heal him when the times arise. They smooch after some crazy heartfelt vows, thus they are married.
October 15 2012. Penny and Ford celebrate Wirt’s 33rd birthday. Wirt still isn’t used to his dad but comes around when he sees just how quizzical he is. They’re so alike it’s crazy!
November 2012. Penny joins Stan and Ford on the Stan ‘O War II.
(just to keep track-- in 2020 Wirt is 41, Dip and Mabs are 21, Greg is 34, and Steven is 17)
Mans that’s what I have! I’d love to hear anything from y’all about this!

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE TAGGED
Tumblr media
My stomach aches with laughter as Duff delivers his punchline of his joke, my hands coming up to cover my mouth as I try to chew my fried mozzarella stick and he takes a sip of his beer, laughing as I snort, which only causes me to laugh even harder, until the both of us are laughing possibly the ugliest anyone has ever laughed, and I'm discarding my food into a napkin because I'm laughing too hard to try to chew it.
My eyes are watering, and thin tears roll down my cheeks.
We finally calm down, seeing people glaring at us for being so loud, but we ignore them.
"That was pretty good." I give him credit where credit is due, shifting in my seat a little and taking in a sharp breath as my sore thigh takes notice of the movement.
"Are you okay?" He asks me and I nod.
"It's still sore." I tell him, trying not to take notice of the expression on his face that flashes for a split second.
Nobody could understand why the hell I went right back home when I got out of the hospital like Nikki hadn't put my life in serious danger.
It wasn't like Nikki had intentionally shot at me. He didnt know what the hell I was and just kicked into to survival mode.
I didn't see the big deal in staying with him.
Tommy, Vince and Mick didn't even know what really happened. Doc had told them the same thing he told me to tell the press: I dropped Nikki's gun on accident, while trying to move it, and it went off and caught me.
He didn't want them to know the truth because they were working on the new album, and he didn't want to "create conflict" within the group.
So the only people that knew the truth aside from Fred, Doc and Nikki, was Duff, Slash, Steven, Izzy and Axl.
It wasn't long after that, that Axl informed me he wrote "You're Crazy" about me as a joke, but realized he was pretty right to write it because, in his words, "you staying with the crackhead heroin junkie that already treats you like shit, then fucking shot you, just solidifies my theory that you're actually, medically, out of your mind, and your insanity isn't just 'to be determined' anymore" and I asked him if he "wanted to be the pot or the kettle?"
The irony of him--out of all people--calling anybody else "crazy" was beyond me.
Thirty-two years later and he still dedicates the song to me every time they play it live.
After we're done eating our Sunday lunch, we pay and head to my car, slowly, because I'm limping and Duff's walking slow so he doesn't leave me.
"So, I kinda did something for your late birthday present." He informs me out of nowhere and I raise my brows.
"What do you mean?" I ask, fumbling to get my keys from my purse, shielding my eyes from the harsh sun in my face as we head to the parking lot.
"Mandy and I broke up." He states and I raise my brows.
"...You broke up with your girlfriend as my birthday present?" I'm confused and he chuckles it off.
"No!" He nervously rubs at the back of his neck. "She broke up with me, actually, but that's not what your present is."
"She broke up with you? Are you okay?" I ask.
"It's a girl, Viv. There's plenty more decent girls to choose from when I'm ready to be in a relationship again." He shrugs.
"Did she tell you why she was breaking things off?" I question.
"Just needed space or time or something like that, I don't know. I was kinda drunk when she called to tell me."
"She broke up with you over a phone call?" I raise my voice, my nostrils flaring.
"Viv, chill out." He let's out with a laugh, nudging me with his arm. "You haven't let me explain the good part of this."
"Well then explain." I clear my throat and he rubs his lips together.
"I talked to Nikki last night 'cause he and Tommy came around to hangout with us for a little while." He explains.
"Mhm?"
"I mentioned the fact that you were kinda getting back into dancing and he said he'd been meaning to ask me about it because you'd told him about Mandy letting you use their rehearsal space to dance."
"She didn't even know I was using it, you just sneak me in whenever she's not there. Well, at least, you did. I'm assuming she got the key back from you."
"You're not letting me finish." He points out and I roll my eyes and sigh.
"Okay. I'm listening."
"Nikki and I conspired together, and I'm buying the place from Mandy, and Nikki is going to pay for any renovations and cleaning up it probably definitely needs."
I stop walking, my face falling, unable to say anything.
"So...happy birthday?" He cautiously finishes, not able to gauge how I'm gonna react.
I just start crying.
"I-I'm sorry, if you didn't want that we can--"
"--I'm not crying because I'm upset, I'm crying because I'm happy." I tell him, wiping my running mascara.
"Viv." He smiles a little, and I hug him to me, my arms around him tightly as I squeeze my eyes closed.
"Thank you." I mumble to him and he kisses at my hair for a second.
"Happy birthday."
I knew on Nikki's part it was an attempt to apologize without actually saying "I'm sorry for shooting you" because if he said "I'm sorry" it would mean admitting he was wrong and I was right about his drug use.
And Vivian could never be right about anyone over-doing it with their bad habits.
I shut the front door, slipping my kitten heels off by the door before I calmly step through the house to get to our bedroom so I can change from my church dress.
Nikki's passed out in our bed. I've gotten to where I have to wake him up and get him to bed or just sleep next to him in the closet.
I accidentally rolled over and stabbed myself with one of his used needles a few nights ago so I've been praying he's been using clean needles and isn't going to transfer anything weird to me.
I change clothes and get into our bed, watching him sleep, at least I think he's asleep.
"How was church?" He asks me, keeping his liner smudged eyes shut and I run the tip of my finger over his bare chest.
"It was good." I reply. "It ran late again today." I lie, not wanting him to find out about Duff and I eating lunch again.
"Oh." He yawns, turning over to face me and I get a little closer to him, hooking my leg around his hip and he grins softly, resting his hand on the curve of my back.
"So, Zutaut called again." I tell him and he sighs out.
"Nope." He sits up and I untangle from him, rolling my eyes as I follow him into the bathroom.
"You didn't even let me finish." I argue, crossing my arms and leaning against the doorway as he puts the toilet seat up to pee.
"I don't need to let you finish. This is the second time he's called in the three days and you told me the first time he called he was wondering if I'd be up to produce your friends' album."
"I love how they're strictly just my friends as soon they inconvenience you. Which I don't even consider this an inconvenience."
"Then what is it, Viv?" He flushes the toilet and steps to the shower to turn it on.
"An opportunity to actually listen to our--'our' meaning 'your's, too'--friends' music. And help them get it put down on an album that actually stays true to their sound instead of trying to add all the extra bull crap that everyone else that's wanted to produce them, has done." I state as he gets his clothes off and gets into the shower.
"What's in it for me?" He asks over the sound of the water.
"Um, the satisfaction of helping a hungry band reach their dreams and share their music? Also helping them get money because once the kids see the album is produced by Nikki Sixx they're gonna buy it because they trust your opinion on good rock music?" I suggest hopefully.
"I want blowjobs." He cuts through the sentimental atmosphere I created in my mind surrounding friendship and dedication, and I glare at the shower as my face drops from it's smile into an unamused expression. "Like, on-command blowjobs. Anytime, anywhere."
"You want me to drop to my knees the second you snap your fingers? Ha!" I scoff.
"Then I'm not even gonna consider producing them."
"Oh my goodness gracious, fine!" I give up, letting out a heavy sigh. "For how long?"
"Um, until I come?"
"No, I mean over what duration of time do I have to sacrifice the wellbeing of my jaw for your disgusting and degrading satisfaction?"
"Until you get arthritic to the point of not being able to get down that low without throwing a joint out of place." He says and I raise a brow, yanking the shower open.
"I am not gonna be in my fifties getting on my knees every time you want some head." I state and he laughs.
"If I have to give you on-command BJs, you have to go down on me on-command."
"You don't even have to tell me to eat you out, I'll gladly do it without the say-so." He says as he shapes his lathered hair straight up with his hands and I have to keep myself from laughing at his childishness. "And can you close that, It's kinda nippley out there." He motions outside of the shower and I shake my head a little before pinning my hair off of my shoulders with a hair clip on our counter and start pulling my clothes off.
I get in with him and he smirks.
"Am I in trouble?" He asks and I raise my brows before reaching my hands up to squish down on his hair that he's got perfectly sculpted upward with shampoo. "No, Viv!" He tries to protect it, laughing loudly.
Tom Zutaut had pressed at me to convince Nikki to at least consider producing "Appetite for Destruction."
Everyone that was interested in Guns N' Roses wanted to alter their music or add unnecessary elements to their signature raw sound. He knew Nikki advocated for people not compromising on what they want, especially with their music, and knew he would never try to produce the album the way he wanted it, but the way the band wanted it.
The only problem there was in the plan...
I roll my eyes as Nikki takes a bump of coke to try to pull himself out of his heroin induced stupor as I fall back in the seat across from him in the limousine, wiping my smudged lipstick from around my mouth, panting, hot and bothered because he started something and couldn't get his prick up to finish it.
Oh, the joys of body function inhibiting drugs.
"Okay, c'mon." He says as he takes a deep breath.
I get back on him to straddle his lap, my hands pulling my dress up my hips and pushing my panties aside while he rubs at himself.
It doesn't seem like he's getting any harder, and the mood is ruined.
"Babe, it's okay." I sigh out, calmly, although I'm frustrated.
"Fuck." He curses, just as irritated, his boot harshly kicking the edge of the seats across from us, his fingers grasping at his hair.
I fix my panties back and move off of him, smoothing my dress back down as he tucks himself back into his pants and laces them back up.
"I'm sorry, Viv." He turns his head to the side to look at me while he's leaning his head back.
"It's fine." I assure him. "Not like I need to be putting that much pressure on my thigh anyway." I add and the atmosphere in the car immediately tenses up.
He doesn't reply, putting his shades on to prepare for the flashing cameras bound to find us.
He despises the press.
I don't blame him.
Once we get stopped, Nikki's opening the door, tightly grasping at my hand.
"Nikki! Nikki!" They all seem to be shouting, followed by questions such as, "you guys working on the album?", "what are some songs we can expect on the new album?", "when are you releasing a new record?", "is it true you went to rehab for heroin?", "are you still on drugs?"
"Vivian, there's pregnancy rumors, do you know who, in the band, is the father?" Someone shouts and I ignore them, keeping my head down and my eyes closed, letting Nikki cut through the reporters and get us into the venue to meet Tom and let Nikki experience his first official Guns N' Roses show.
...Nikki hated it.
He was ready to leave only two songs in and showed absolutely no interest in spending his time producing them.
He wouldn't even really pin point what exactly he didn't like about their music or their playing, he just didn't like it.
He admits now that he was so fucked up that night, in particular, that he wouldn't have known what was good music if it hit him in the face.
I figured that might have been the case since he was the first one to put in for Guns N' Roses to join Mötley Crüe on the "Girls, Girls, Girls" tour and advocate for their music.
His mood swings gave me whiplash.
"What do you think so far?" Tom asks Nikki as Nikki takes a sip of his drink.
"I don't see the fuss." He states, and Tom and I exchange looks, confused.
"W-What?" I ask, furrowing my brows. "Are you kidding me?"
"Did I stutter?"
"W--C'mon, Nikki, you haven't even heard some of their other stuff. These kids have the potential to be extraordinary, they're almost there. You can't just write them off like this."
"I'm not writing anybody off. They're my friends and I dig their enthusiasm but I can barely find the time to work on our own album, let alone produce someone else's and they're not striking me enough to make me want to sacrifice more of my time to produce them."
"Baby, if you would just give them a chan--"
"--Viv, I said 'no'." He sternly scolds me and tears swell up in my eyes because I could have sworn Nikki would have really liked their music.
"I'll be right back." I tell them, stepping to the bathroom to dry my tears.
At the time I thought Nikki was just being an asshole.
He didn't tell me he didn't want to produce them because he wouldn't have done the kind of job they deserved for their talent on their debut album.
He wanted to do right by them, and that meant staying as far away from their music as possible.
He didn't tell anyone that because that would have been him admitting he had a problem.
"Lose the nasty attitude, Vivian." Nikki orders as I stomp into our house while he shuts the front door behind him, locking it.
"Why? You gonna toss me aside, too?" I hiss, taking my jacket off and throwing my purse onto the coffee table, crossing my arms.
"Will you just drop it? It's not like there aren't thousands of producers that would love to help them out." He takes his jacket off, tossing it to the couch.
"What is wrong with their music? Is it their sound, their personality, their--"
"--Vivian, I said 'drop it'!" He barks.
"I have every right to be angry, Nikki! You clearly might not give a fuck about them but they are my friends--who I know good and damn well have immense talent and there's even some of it that's yet to be untapped--and I just wanted you to give them an actual shot at achieving the thing all of them have worked their asses off for and dreamed about since they were kids!" I throw my hands up.
"I'm done talking about this." He states, stepping to our bedroom.
"I'm not!" I take my heel off and throw it as hard as I can at his head.
It hits the back of his hair and he stops in his tracks.
"Tom said it himself, and you heard him: Guns N' Roses will be the biggest rock n roll band in the world if they just get someone behind them that can guide them to where they need to be!" I ball my fists up at my sides, digging my nails into my palms.
Nikki just slowly turns to face me, his eyes wild, his breathing labored, and a out of line theory sprouts in my mind, but the way he's been acting lately it won't surprise me if it's true.
"Is that why you won't help them?" I ask him, cutting my eyes. "Because they're possibly going to dethrone Mötley Crüe?"
The fact that I'm insinuating he gives a fuck about bullshit "competition", especially in regards to his friends, just infuriates him more. I see it in his eyes.
He just turns back around and goes to our bedroom, slamming the door shut.
I roll my jaw, my eyes drifting to the beautiful display of his gold and platinum records on the wall beside the hallway that leads to guest bedrooms.
My skin of my knuckles is splitting open when my fist collides with the glass of the "Shout at the Devil" Gold award.
Platinum's next.
Just before I'm going for "Too Fast for Love", Nikki's screaming from our bedroom doorway, Jack Daniel's in hand.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" He shouts and I just shoot him a glare before taking the "Too Fast for Love" plaque off the wall. "Put the fucking plaque down Vivian." Nikki orders, stepping closer to me.
"Produce their album." I demand, acting as if I'm going to drop it.
"Put. It. Down. Vivian."
"Or what? You'll shoot me again?" I taunt him and he grinds his teeth. "Produce their album." I repeat.
"Go to hell, crazy bitch." He snaps.
"You go first!" I holler back, hurling the award at the wall and it crashes into another plaque and they both shatter to pieces.
I turn around just in time to see Nikki pouring Jack all over my Bible that he'd plucked from the coffee table, just before pulling his lighter out.
"Stop!" I shriek, rushing to him.
I'm too late, though, and he's lighting it up and throwing it into the empty fire place just as I make it to him.
A God-awful feeling of dread fills me as Sikki looks very proud of himself.
I can't even look at him right now.
Walking to the kitchen to wash my bleeding hand off and get it wrapped up, I start to think a mile a minute.
My heart clenches in my chest as tears line my lashes.
How predictable of Nikki Sixx to burn a fucking Bible just to piss off a christian who's had said Bible since childhood...but it somehow shocks me that he'd do it to me, I guess.
I glance down at my wedding ring.
I've noticed it feels more and more like a weight with every argument he and I have.
Our entire relationship was just an open body of water that, that freaking ring was dragging me deeper and deeper in to.
The pressure was starting to get painful and I needed air.
My finger tips tug at my wedding ring and I leave it on the kitchen counter before I'm walking to our bedroom-- while he's still in the living room-- locking the door and heading to the closet, quickly gathering every lick of heroin, coke, and pills before going to our bathroom and flushing all of it, all the while Nikki's banging his fist against our bedroom door.
I hear a loud crash, and realize he kicked the door in.
"Vivian!" He screams as I'm giving the final flush to the last bindle, opening the bathroom door.
He's pushing me aside rather roughly and stomping to the toilet as the sound of the tank refilling with water let's him know what I've been doing.
"What did you do?!" He seethes at me, finger in my face, eyes shot, five o'clock shadow framing his gritted teeth.
And I just turn around with the intention of getting my shoes back on and leaving.
His hand is catching in my hair and yanking me back to him.
"Nikki, fuck off!"
"Don't fucking walk away from me!" He yells.
"I should have walked away from you six years ago!" I exclaim, tears of anger rolling down my cheeks.
This gets his attention because he's letting me go, an obvious expression of hurt on his face.
"I should have never slept with you. I should have never dated you. I should have never told you I'd marry you and I never should have taken vows to love and honor and protect someone who can't even get off of drugs long enough to love and honor and protect me." I sniffle and he blinks at me slowly as if holding back on his emotions.
"Then walk the fuck away." He hisses at me, rolling his jaw.
I left.
Nikki called Vanity.
And I went to find Duff.
I shut my car door before making my way into the Seventh Veil, running a hand through my hair as music blares through the speakers.
I glance around, hoping they're here because I've been up and down the strip and they've been nowhere to be found.
My prayers are answered when I look to see the massive fluff of blonde hair and I walk over to the table where Duff, Izzy, Steven, and Slash are, yanking a chair from a neighboring table and sitting with them.
They give me weird looks, Steven glancing around to check for Nikki or any of the other guys, before exchanging looks with Duff and Slash while Izzy seems unphased, his eyes on the same thing mine are on: the dancer on stage.
"Um...Viv?" Steven asks me cautiously and I side eye him.
"Yeah." I mumble.
"Uh, a-are you here alone?" He asks.
"Yep."
"Do you like strippers or something?" Slash asks me next.
"Nope."
"Did Nikki piss you off?" Duff's next.
"Yep."
"Is your hand alright?" Steven motion's to my hand that's got a scabbed over, bloody cut over the top of it.
"Shh, guys, she has to keep a clear mind so she can properly construct her plan to ask the dancers if they've accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior." Izzy sarcastically puts in and I cut my eyes at him as he takes another drag of his cigarette.
"Talk all your shit, Stradlin. Just gives me more motivation to curate ideas to make your life harder."
"Your existence in itself makes my life harder." He scoffs.
"Good that means I'm fulfilling one of the purposes God gave me for my life."
"Is your other purpose getting your husband so heated he throws you out of the house?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." I pretend to feel sorry, poking my lip out a little. "I forget I can't be upset with Nikki around you because you get bothered at the thought of anyone being upset with your gothic, heroin hounding, drug buddy because you're kindred spirits that have bonded over being tortured artists."
"Oh, go read your Bible." He tells me.
"Can't. Nikki set it on fire." I shoot back and Duff chokes on his drink.
"He what?" Duff asks me, like he's trying to contain a little anger over it.
"So we can expect the Sixxes to get a divorce?" Izzy asks me, clearly joking, and I shake my head.
"No, he's just being a junked-out prick." I mumble, crossing my arms.
"Do you wanna get your anger out by aggressively throwing our money?" Steven asks and I blink.
"I'll go politely put the money on the edge of the stage." I say and Duff finishes his drink, setting the glass face down.
"Alright, let's get outta here." He tells me with a sigh, standing up. "We'll see you guys later."
"Alright, man." Izzy nods. "Viv." He adds.
"Izzy." I reply.
"Bye, Viv." Steven and Slash both say and I smile a little.
"Bye, guys."
I follow Duff out of the club, and he nearly trips coming out, causing me to grab at his hand and arm to try to help him keep balanced, and a few flashes go off, signaling paparazzi and I audibly groan as they move in.
My hand shields my eyes as my other hand holds tightly to Duff's arm as asinine questions are thrown at me but I ignore them.
The bastards got a good enough shot at just the right second--with me holding onto Duff with both of my hands, the two of us sharing wide smiles because we were laughing over him nearly tripping to the ground--that it definitely came across as "a picture's worth a thousand words" but the only words told by that picture was that we were a little more than friends...and that's what the headline spun it up as by the time it landed in Nikki's hands.
The argument it led to sparked the birth of "You're All I Need", delivered by the vocals of Vince, from the demented mind of Sikki Nixx himself.
"Where'd you park?" Duff asks me in my ear over the sound of photography and strangers talking at us, and I tug him into direction of my car that's parked down the street against the curb.
"Welp that's something I'm gonna get to explain to Nikki." I state as soon as we get into my car.
"He knows nothing's happening." He replies, laughing it off.
"Yeah, right." I say under my breath, as I start heading down the road. "Where to?" I ask, stopping at a stop light.
"Oh, I don't know I was just trying to keep you from swinging on Izzy." He admits with a chuckle and I shake my head a little.
"I'd never hit Izzy. Axl, definitely, Izzy, no. He's my favorite."
"Izzy's your favorite? How'd that happen? You two are, like, polar opposites." He asks me with an amused smile.
"He agrees that Sid probably killed Nancy." I inform him and he throws his head back and let's out a frustrated, but humorous, groan.
After finally deciding to just get milk-shakes, we sit in a corner booth of Denny's and once we get out orders, Duff's clearing his throat.
"So, I saw you guys at the show earlier."
He tells me and I raise my brows, sipping at my strawberry milkshake. "You didn't tell us you were coming, we could've told them to take you guys backstage."
"We weren't able to stay very long afterwards...Nikki just wanted to see you guys play together live." I explain.
"Oh." He nods, before asking the dreaded question: "what did he think?"
"He digs you guys." I lie, giving a little smile.
The guys never knew Nikki was approached to produce the album, each of them found out later.
I think they're secretly glad he never touched "Appetite for Destruction."
That album would have been an absolute train wreck under his junkie guidance, just like everything else that Nikki seemed to be apart of in 1987.
