12am baking last night, and by 12am baking I mean I made the brownie batter to cook today but then ended up deciding it would be a great idea to just. Turn the oven on after I made the 1st batter and just cook it and not sleep until like 4am.

𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐀 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 . . . featuring matthew sturniolo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𓏲๋ 𓂃 — PAIRING. good girl!reader x guitarist!matt.
beware of. SMUT. mentions of unprotected sex. teensy age gap ( 19 & 21 ). reader lives w her parents. use of pet names.
୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ .⁺ headline. different scenarios to show the flirty dynamic between two ‘innocent’ neighbors.
Tumblr media
— GUITARIST!MATT WHO: makes it a habit to say good morning to you— an absolute angel, every single day. toothpick hanging from his pink lips as he leans against the white picket fence. you can’t do anything but meekly return the greeting, your big doe eyes focused on the grass beneath you as he showers you in complements.
“good morning, sunshine. jesus, you look… gorgeous. where ya headed?”
— GOOD GIRL!READER WHO: bakes goodies for the musician next door. it’s okay fair to return the favor since he’s such a sweetheart to you. you wake up at the crack of dawn, pulling up the “strawberry blondie bars” recipe you found on social media.
you try your hardest to be quiet, not wanting to wake your parents upstairs. once the treats are ready, you package them in a pink container before taping a note on top. during one of many morning conversations between you two, you hand the brunette the blondies, a grin plastered on your lip gloss-covered lips.
“oh i almost forgot! made these for ya since you’re always so nice to me. i hope you like them!”
— GUITARIST!MATT WHO: answers your phone calls on the first ring, no matter how late it is. you dial him, small sniffles coming from your side of the phone. your parents had begged you to go on a date with this boy from church, convinced that you needed a good influence in your life since matt was ‘corrupting you’. wrong they were.
once he found out you didn’t wanna sleep with him, he called you a prude and sped off in his truck. now here you were, stranded at a restaurant at 12:30 AM. as soon as matt heard your shaky voice & your situation, he put his guitar down and practically ran out to his car to come pick you up. he’s fuming, praying he runs into the guy one of these days to teach him a lesson.
“j-just stay still for me, okay sweetheart? i’ll be there soon, ten minutes tops.”
— GOOD GIRL!READER WHO: pleads and pleads with matt to let you come over and watch him practice. of course you’ve heard him from your room, the bass from his electric guitar coursing through your walls from time to time but you wanted to see it up close and personal.
after multiple “no’s” & “it’s too much for your pretty lil’ ears”, he finally gives in, leading you inside his home with his hand resting dangerously low on your back. when you reach the basement, you see all of his equipment— his amp, a mic, etc. not to mention, the star of the show, the guitar.
he nods for you to take a seat on the grey L-shaped couch as he takes a seat in a foldable chair in front of you. once he knows he has all of your attention, he begins playing a very familiar song— godspeed by frank ocean. with his fingers moving smoothly against the strings and his lip tucked between his teeth as he concentrates, you can’t help but clench your thighs at the sight.
— GUITARIST!MATT & GOOD GIRL!READER WHO: both have journals about the other. they both consisted of lewd & dirty thoughts, yours definitely more… explicit than matt’s. you’re writing in said journal when you see a figure pop through your window, a smug smile playing on his lips. matt’s presence seemed to distract you, your journal wide open in your lap.
as he gets climbs in your room and gets closer, he notices the book causing him to snatch it up and look through it, not expecting to read anything like that from you. you lean up and try to grab it back frantically, embarrassment lingering all around you but matt kept you in place with his other hand as he continued reading. you’re already getting your apology ready but before you can say anything, matt beats you to it.
“this true, sunny? you wanna ‘feel my soft lips against your skin while you’…. woah. you got a hell of a mouth on you, don’t ya?” his eyes wide as they still remain on the paper.
Tumblr media
“doing so good, baby. riding me all by yourself just like you said you would … can’t believe it.” he drags out, his words muffled as he leaves marks down your neck. you having to hide the hickies didnt seem to cross your mind, the state of euphoria you were in clouding your thoughts. you felt on top of the world and all of matt’s praise was only fueling the feeling.
you don’t even notice that he paused your movements to pursue his own, breathy groans coming from the boy underneath you. matt’s hands wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him as he basically drills into you. with one last thrust, you release all over him, a loud and catty whine leaving your throat. matt finishes not too long after you, filling you up nice & full.
in all honesty, it was bound to happen sooner or later. i mean, he was only a door away.
Tumblr media
solai speaks. headcannon layout inspo from the one & only @musegyra! i enjoyed writing this so much like you have no idea. i’ve been in my music matt bag lately 😭. speaking of, part one to get him back will be out this week! enjoy <3.

Neighbour Ghost x reader 4
2.4k | fluff Simon liked the way you looked at him (part 1) (part 5)
“Why was the strawberry crying?” Simon asked, casually buttering his toast that Saturday morning.
“Why?”
“’cause it was in a jam.” He looked too proud of himself as he took a bite of his toast.
You laughed, looking up from the near empty jar you were trying to clean out with your butter knife.
He loved seeing your bright smile as you sat there across the small table. Even that this was his first breakfast with you, it was better than dinner. In the gentle sun, your eyes were even lovelier, wisps of hair around your face like a halo. The building was far quieter at the hour and you felt closer, like you were all his in this quiet corner of the world.
“Luv, I was wondering if you could teach me how to bake? If you don’t mind.”
“But I’m not a very good baker.”
“Bollocks. Your pie was mint.”
You chuckled. “Okay, that one I can.”
After breakfast, you laid ingredients on the counter next to the recipe - your handwriting distinct, pleasant. Were you ever going to write something for him? A little note would be more than enough, but if he could ask, he’d prefer a letter, maybe, for when he’s away thinking of you.
“Would you like an apron?” You held yours up, with a cat print peeking out of the pocket.
He chuckled, looking over as he washed his hands. Would you like him more in one? “If you reckon I need it.”
You tied it around his waist and let out a small giggle at the sight. “So you want to cut the butter into smaller pieces,” you said, working the butter into the flour with the back of a fork before handing it over to him.
Simon pressed the fork onto the butter, but the sheer force of it made flour fly out of the mixing bowl.
“Shite,” he said under his breath.
“Gently.” You placed your hand over his, pushing it down. “This way.”
He took a breath as he watched how you did so easily, but most of all, revelled in your touch. You’d already held hands, but this was something else. He wished you didn’t let go. And you didn’t, instead wrapping an arm around his waist, watching, as he proceeded with the job you assigned.
He peered at you and you nodded approvingly.
“Now tip that out and fold the dough over itself until it comes together - no dry flour left.”
He dumped the lumpy, powdery mess onto the board and brought it together with his large, awkward hands. But a few folds in, the dough started to transform into a cohesive ball. His brows rose in amusement.
“Look at that, you’re a natural!”
He chuckled to himself as you beamed at him proudly.
Next came the filling. You placed the peeler in his palm - the very same one from last week - his fucking nemesis. He picked up one of the apples, dwarfed by his hand, hoping he had better luck with rounded objects.
He didn’t. He was taking off chunks off the pitiful fruit. He should have come prepared and asked his mum how to peel apples without looking like he was about to stab someone. They certainly didn’t teach you how to use a peeler at the butcher.
“I like to do it this way.” You lightly took the tool from him and demonstrated with another apple. “Hold it here and pull away, like this. Even pressure for the thinnest peel.”
Thanks for not calling me daft.
Following your advice, the assignment didn’t turn out to be that hard. You put on some music as he cored and cut up the apples. At least he was far better with traditional knives.
“Quality control,” you said, popping a piece in your mouth.
Simon chuckled, placing the knife down as he turned to you. “Any good?”
“Mhm. Sweet, but tart enough.” You reached for the mixing bowl again, but he caught your wrist, making you look up at him.
“Would you please let me kiss you?”
You blinked and his heart stalled in those few silent seconds, but you stepped towards him, clutching the front of his black shirt. He sighed as he leaned in, arm around your waist, finally tasting your lips - perfect just like he’d always imagined them to be. The apples were indeed sweet.
You pulled away and bit down your smile, eyeing him from under your lashes before looking away. He too couldn’t stop the grin that crept up his face, nor the thumping of his chest. He picked up the knife and continued the task at hand while you stood next to him measuring out the rest of the ingredients.
On the occasions he looked over to make sure he was following your directions correctly, your gazes met and you turned away, hiding your face behind your cup of jasmine tea. He found it endearing.
The crust he rolled out looked mangled but you reassured no one would be able to decipher the patchwork when it was all done. As he brushed the top of the pie with egg wash, he nodded when you asked if you could take a photo of him.
You gave him a little peck when he finally closed the oven door, just like you had each time he finished a step. He felt like a dog, getting a treat for every good behaviour. The pie felt like a chore now. Could he not dive into all his treats already?
You sat on the couch as the pie baked.
“I’ve always wondered how far your sleeve goes. Does it extend to your chest?”
“Just a sleeve.” He pulled his shirtsleeve up revealing the entirety of his monochrome tattoo.
Your lips pursed. Did he look that good that it flustered you? You were adorable. He liked the way you were looking. Could you never look away again?
“Would you believe me if I told you I had a nipple ring?”
You laughed, tearing your gaze away from his arm. “No way.”
“It was a stupid bet I lost shortly after I enlisted.”
“What was it?”
“It’s too embarrassing. Maybe next time.”
Simon wrapped his arms around you, pulling you to him as he leaned back. With your hand on his chest, you closed the gap and he just wanted to melt into a puddle against your soft lips. Your breath hitched as his fingers ran down your spine.
You lay on top of him, and his wary fingers toyed with the ends of your hair. The both of you remained silent in each other’s embrace, kissing occasionally, until the timer on the oven went off.
“What do you want for dinner?”
Simon took another bite of his pie that he had to admit tasted far better than he expected it to, perhaps even as good as yours if he was generous (if he closed his eyes anyway). No soggy bottom, at least. Merry Berry would be proud.
“I’m going to the soup kitchen, so I’ll get something nearby after.”
How could he forget? It was the first Saturday of the month.
“You need to pick up loaves from the bakery, yeah? Need me to drive you?”
You smiled. “I’d really like that if you don’t mind, actually. Oh, I need to text Ben, in case he forgets.”
“Ben?”
“Your mums’ boss. We pickup leftover bread there at a discount.”
As you buckled up in his SUV, he realised he never got to hand you your gift last night. He reached for the bag in the backseat.
“For you.”
You pulled out the grey fabric and that beautiful smile bloomed across your lips again.
“Oh, Simon, that’s lovely.” Your fingers traced over the little patch on the left side of the chest. A slice of apple pie. You looked up at him. “Thank you so much.”
It was impossible for his heart to not skip at such a sight.
As you settled the payments with Ben, Simon helped you haul the crates of bread into his car. He was glad he was around this time to help you out otherwise you’d have to take a taxi all by yourself like you always did.
“Ben, mate?” As Simon carried the last of the crates, he stopped at the door which the older gentleman was holding open. “You reckon you’ve got anything to do with how the bastard found out my mum works here?”
He shook his head. “I don’t even know him.”
“Did you contact the coppas? Ran a background check on her perhaps?”
Ben’s eyes widened. “Oh, I had no idea-“
Mr. Riley must have played the worried husband and reported her missing back home to have been notified.
He sighed. “No worries, Ben. It’s not your fault.”
“R- really?”
He felt bad about how the old man gripped the door, still looking up at him with wide eyes.
“I’m just glad you were there with her. Oh-“ He fished out a wad of cash from his back pocket and handed it to Ben. “To cover the discount. See you around, mate.”
Still in disbelief, he flinched at the pat on his arm.
At the facility centre, the lieutenant effortlessly carried the load into the kitchen, but he lingered at the building’s entrance.
“You reckon there’s anything else I can help with inside?”
You smiled. “Always.”
Perhaps Simon should have asked what the menu was before offering a hand, but he was glad it was the humble garlic bread and that his slicing and buttering skills were decent. You introduced him as a friend to the other volunteers, who were polite (or scared) enough not to question how close he stood by you. But was it bad if he wanted more, if he wanted them to ask who he really was to you?
At 6, people started pouring into the hall. Some knew you by name, greeting you with a grin that faltered when they laid eyes on the stony lieutenant next to you. It must have been comical how the both of you looked behind the small table handing out garlic bread, his frown a stark contrast to your bright self.
But he was having a grand time simply being close to you, seeing you and your friends making people smile. His pinky trailed down your hand.
You looked up at him, shoulder bumping his arm. “You keep our country safe. That’s why we get to have nights like this.”
He smiled when you held his hand. He supposed he was a tiny, tiny bit responsible for this. Your reassurance gave him a new sense of pride, that he was doing something.
After a late dinner you insisted Simon pick, the both of you headed home. When he made it to your flat in the baggiest shirt he owned, you were on the couch, freshly showered just as he was.
You should be kicking him out for bothering you even at this hour, so why did you take him by the hand and lead him to your bed instead? He didn’t resist when you lay next to him, your hand propping your head up.
His heart raced with you this close, watching your soft eyes travel over his face that he didn’t feel deserved to be mere inches away from your beautiful one.
“Simon Riley,” you said quietly, your thumb tracing his lower lip.
“Hm?”
“You’ve got a pretty name.”
Even my last name?
Your gaze flicked up. “Your eyes are really pretty too.”
His eyes fluttered close as he let out an uneven breath.
“You’re beautiful.” Your fingers trailed down his scruffy jaw.
He was certain now his chest was about to explode. Were you high? What did you see in him?
He’d never been touched so carefully before, gazed at so softly. Not even by his first and last love, his childhood sweetheart, whom the thought was the one before duty got in the way. It had been so long ago that he’d forgotten what it felt like to have a bit of peace, to just be - if things were ever this pleasant.
Each ‘a little more’ of you carried him further and further, and he’d floated a little too far from shore - the shore which had thinned into a distant line in the horizon, foreign from where he was as he threaded.
Wasn’t this only going to end one way? He was playing with fire, going down a slippery slope, to be in involved with you as this mess of a man. He did terrible things for a living. He wasn’t good enough for you, couldn’t you see? Or were you too compassionate to understand? It was all the more why he shouldn’t be here with you, in your bed, under your touch, even when he didn’t ever want to leave this flat of yours.
But you let him stay anyway, even after the shameful admittance of his past. Could it be that it didn’t matter to you, that for the first time he was alright as he was, despite his shortcomings? Perfectly loveable, as you were in his eyes?
Hope glimmered in him. I want to be good enough for you.
“Why are you so… nice?”
You took a moment to reply. “It’s easy to be. Being nice is free.”
It was not. Nothing was, but who was he to break your heart?
“Have you not been hurt from that?”
Your lips quirked into a resigned smile. “Unfortunately so, but sometimes it’s worth it.”
He pulled you in, his fingers tangled in your hair as you let out a soft giggle against his lips. When he eventually let you out of his grasp, a little breathless, you flicked the bedside lamp off.
You yawned. “If you’re heading back, please slide the key under the door.”
He didn’t want to. He scooted behind you, a heavy arm around your waist.
“Okay, I’ll tell you what. The bet was that Arsenal was going to lose to Man U. Well, they didn’t, but my left nipple did.”
Your body shook with laughter. “Of course it was a football bet.”
He smiled into your hair. “Goodnight, luv.”
“Night, Simon,” you mumbled.
Pressed up against you in your soft bed, so cosy with your scent surrounding him, his eyelids soon grew heavy.
His worst demons could visit in his dreams again, but nothing was going to take him out of your bed that night. Maybe, this time, things really could be alright for once, and not only in his favourite flat in Hereford.

Gale X Tav: Hand massage short fic
Second person POV, fluff, headcanon that this man talks like he's read the Player's Handbook
Gale's hands get so cramped and sore from all the casting he does, especially now that he's away from his tower and all the amenities there. Ordinarily, he uses lotions to keep his hands loose, but on the road, ingredients are limited.
That's why you make a special effort to collect recipes for potions and salves from anywhere you travel; eventually, you find one that uses ingredients you have. The scent of this salve is pleasant, floral, invigorating, and after testing it on your own skin to make sure it's safe, you approach Gale with it.
"I do enjoy our conversations," he greets you, warmly. "What can I do for you?"
"Actually, I'm here for what I can do for you," you say, holding up the salve that you've put into a small jar. "This should help ease the muscles in your hands."
A smile breaks across his face. "Why that is incredibly thoughtful, and pragmatic! But tell me, how is it that you've gleaned my particular issues with regards to somatic components?"
You try to keep a straight face as you say, "Well you're not exactly... subtle... when it comes to pain."
He grimaces, likely remembering all the times his knees have cracked loud enough for the adventuring party to hear. "Well, I sincerely thank you for this, it truly means a lot."
"Of course," you say, then hesitate, before adding, "did- do you want me to- um, apply it for you?"
His eyebrows raise in surprise, but then he quickly says, "If you'd like to. I mean, I'd like you to. That is, you don't have to, but if you have the time-"
"I do," you confirm, cutting him off to save you both some embarrassment. "Have a seat."
He sits, and you sit facing him. He holds out one of his hands, and you take a good amount of the salve and begin to work it into his skin.
As you apply pressure onto the muscles, you hear his breath catch, then release. You hope that the rhythmic pressure, the relaxing pull on his fingers, is working.
"Other hand," you instruct, once you feel that you've spent enough time on the first one. He shifts closer, enough so that your knees touch, and holds out his other hand.
You keep your eyes focused on massaging, but once you've finished, you look up with a "there we go", only to see Gale gazing at your face, cheeks flushed.
"Thank you. Thank you very much," he says softly, causing your own face to heat up.
"Of course," you murmur back. Then, after clearing your throat, you say a bit louder, "you're very welcome, of course."
At that moment, Astarion wanders by the tent. Catching sight of you two, he drawls, "Oh good, you've finally progressed to hand holding. I'll need to let Lae'zel know she owes me my ten gold."
With embarrassment, you realize that you've still got Gale's hand clasped in both of yours. You release him quickly, and catch a flash of disappointment in the wizard's face. "Sorry," you say quickly, scrambling to your feet. "I'll let you get back to what you were doing."
"Oh don't let me stop you," Astarion says, flashing his teeth in a charming smile. "I have another bet going with Shadowheart regarding you two doing... something else."
You blurt out, "Maybe mind your own business?" at the same time as Gale says, "What we do does not concern you."
You stare at him, and he gets to his feet as well, stammering, "Or what we don't do, of course."
Astarion sighs loudly, wandering off as you take a deep breath and say, "Well I hope the salve works. You want to keep the jar with you?"
Gale hesitates, then says, "Actually, would you hold onto it? You... applied it so expertly, I'm afraid I would never be able to do it as well as you. I'd like to ask your help with it in the future."
You smile, nodding. "Of course! I'm glad to help whenever I can."

Everyone I've cared about has either died or left me. Except for you.
Tumblr media
pairings: Levi Ackerman x (GN!) reader
genre: Hurt/comfort, fluff
summary: Based on the prompt from the list found here. You and Levi have a moment amidst the final battle
Warning for the final chapter spoilers. This is just a small drabble I wrote after getting inspired by one of the sentence starters!
word count: 1,106
ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/54683590
Tumblr media
The hot air rushing past you causes your hair to uncomfortably stick to your forehead. You, Levi and Gabi soar across the sea of wall titans, somewhat safe atop Falco's back. How the kid had managed this, you would never know. Honestly, you are more than happy to try and not focus on anything now. Too much is happening. Too much has been happening in such a short amount of time and you can feel yourself hitting your limit. You want to praise yourself for having such a fairly sturdy limit, all things considered, but the overwhelming amount of nerves squash that thought before it can take root. Too much has happened, too much has been lost, too much can still be lost. 
Your head throbs as you attempt to ignore the onslaught of thoughts rushing through it. Your eyesight grows hazy as you try to focus on the view below you, it's all too much.
Your hands shake as they cling onto the harness attached to Falco's titan, tears pooling in your eyes as you try to blink them away. Levi is next to you, struggling to hold on tight with his newly missing fingers, which had yet to start their healing process properly. His solid presence helps to quell your rising anxiety as you reach over to hold onto his arm tightly, doing your best to help keep him secure. If he were to fall now, a piece of your heart would fall with him, never to be reclaimed.
You smile to yourself when you hear his thankful grunt, his eyes not once leaving the skeletal horror, as if his glare could lure Eren out. Once upon a time, it just might have been possible. The sight of his towering titan still causes your heart to break. The Eren you once knew has slipped between everyone’s fingers, the young cadet is now a beacon of destruction. Where had things gone wrong? How had you not seen him drifting?
For the first time in your life as a scout, a part of you is glad for the head injury you had sustained during the first assault on the founder. The events are a blur, you remember flying through the air while dodging all the rocks thrown by a beast titan. You remember a sharp pain shooting through your skull as the feeling of something sticky begins to slowly run down your temple. You remember the shout of your name from several voices before the world faded to black.
Now you are on the sidelines, simply watching rather than having to bear the pain of helping to end the kid you once helped train. 
You feel some guilt for inadvertently forcing the burden onto your scouts, his friends. But the nagging tug at your heart, paired with what is most likely a nasty concussion, would only get in your way. This way, you can also keep an eye on the captain, who is more than happy to keep throwing himself into the fray despite his injuries, something you will never get used to. Your heart plummets each time he doesn't hesitate to throw himself around with his ODM gear.
You look towards Levi with a small frown, his injuries are only a few days old and yet he still fights. How much of himself is he willing to give to save humanity? How much of him are you willing to lose? You knew becoming involved with anyone in the Survey Corps was a recipe for trouble and heartbreak, but at the time, you weren’t expecting a threat bigger than the titans you had been facing. You don’t regret a single moment and while you are both still alive and fighting, you don’t need to regret anything. 
You repeat his mantra of ‘no regrets�� until it slowly begins to sink in through the rising haze of panic, the two of you are still alive, yet your mind races faster than the scouts below fighting for their lives. 
“Pull it together, now isn’t the time to falter…” You risk bringing a hand to rub your eyes, smudging the dirt and blood further around your face, groaning as the dull pain worsens. 
Your stomach drops as Falco dips through the air, dodging stray attacks while circling the battleground below. Bile rises in your throat and you’re unsure if it's due to the head injury or the harsh movements.
“Those kids are fighting to save the world and here I am, worrying over losing him when we’ve already lost too many. How can I be so self-centered?” 
“Oi,” Levi says, his voice cutting through the near-deafening wind surrounding you. He’s looking directly at you now, seeing past the mask of professionalism you like to wear when on duty. He looks through and sees the swirling anxieties, the shaking of your hands, the tense shoulders and the way you bite at your lip in worry.
“Everyone I've cared about has either died or left me. Except for you.” Your heart breaks at his words, the tears you had fought back now happily run down your cheeks, parting through streaks of mud. You try to hide your face from him, refusing to show weakness in such a moment, but he continues, capturing your attention once more.
“So you better survive, understood? Get out of your head and back in the moment, we need you alert.” 
His eyes soften as he stares you down, letting you see a glimpse of the worries he keeps shackled deep down. He has managed to shuffle closer towards you while you were lost in your thoughts, now subtly pressing himself against you for support. He hooks his arm around yours, giving you a gentle squeeze as he averts his gaze to the horror below.
He can feel your eyes lock onto him, the smile on your face widening despite the tears. “Don’t get all smug, it’s hard to grab onto this rope with eight fingers.”
He always did have a way of dissolving your worries and bringing you out of your head, even when staring down hell. Wall’s know you both need to keep your eyes forward and your minds focused, no matter what.
“Whatever you say, captain. That goes for you as well, you know. If you die on me, I’m breaking into the paths and giving you such an earful.”
The small scoff you get in response is almost lost to the winds, but you don’t miss the way he places more of his weight against you. 
“Well, we can’t have that, can we? Guess we’re both making it out of this one alive then.”

Baking Nights
synopsis: The last time you baked, disaster happened. But, with Gojo helping, it might not be so bad.
warnings: fluff, gojo is a good baker (not great but manages to bake without causing a big disaster, gn!reader — wc: 1159
notes: my headcanon of gojo loving to bake has made me write a fic
Tumblr media
You weren’t exactly the best baker in town. Once, you tried making a simple chocolate chip cookie and ended up burning the cookie — Satoru said it looks fine but you know he is just trying to make you feel better. It was not edible, even someone who loves cookies would not eat your cookies.
So when Satoru asked if you wanted to help him bake something tonight as a snack for your weekly movie night, you declined almost immediately.
“Come on, love! I promise you won’t burn them again. I’ll help you this time.” Satoru begs, giving you the puppy eyes. “Please?”
You groaned. “What if I manage to burn the cookies again? You never know what could happen. I can accidentally forget to set the timer, have the oven on way too hot, or even-”
“Stop, you won’t. Don’t jinx it.” Satoru reassures you. He takes your hands in his, holding them tightly. “Come on! I promise you’re not going to burn the cookies again.”
“Please don’t bring that up again.” you groaned. “I’ll help only if you never bring me burning the cookies up ever again.”
Satoru’s eyes lit up, a big smile forming on his face. “Okay, deal!” he lets go of your hands, quickly grabbing everything that is needed for this baking session. “Do we want sugar cookies or chocolate chip? You pick.”
“Hmm,” you hummed, thinking about it. “Chocolate chip cookies since I failed to make one last time.”
“Pft,” Satoru lets out a small laugh, making you glare at him. “Hey, I was not the one who brought up your burnt chocolate chip cookies. It was you.” He gives you a cheeky smile, throwing an apron at your way. “Here, use it. I’m afraid you’re the messy type when it comes to baking.”
“Hey-!” you tried protesting but you know he is right. “So, what must we do first, Satoru the master baker?”
“Master baker? Really?” Satoru raises an eyebrow at the ridiculous nickname but shrugs it off. “Well, according to the recipe I found online-”
“Wait, you looked it up?” you cut him off swiftly. “I thought you said you knew how to make them?! Without looking it up!”
Satoru scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. “Yeah well, I am not the master baker you had in mind, my love. Just because I can make a few desserts doesn’t mean I remember the recipe.”
You huffed. “You are a liar, Gojo Satoru.”
Satoru immediately gasps, offended. “How dare you call me a liar! I’ve been nothing but honest and truthful to you. Oh, how you’ve wounded me.” he places a hand over his heart, giving off a more dramatic vibe.
You giggled, amused by his antics. “Oh shut up and start baking.” Satoru gives you a smile, a bowl, and a pack of flour.
Satoru got quiet as soon as he started mixing the ingredients, carefully measuring each ingredient to make sure it was the perfect amount. With all that happening, you stand behind him awkwardly, not knowing what to do. “Satoru… Do you need help with anything?”
“Hm?” Satoru turns back, seemingly having forgotten that you were there. “Well, just stand there and look pretty for me, yeah?” he teases and a scowl immediately forms on your face. “I’m just kidding! You can come help mix the batter while I prepare the oven.”
He hands you the bowl and you carefully grab it from him, mixing the batter slowly. “It looks good already.”
“It doesn’t look burnt, that’s for sure.” Satoru snickers and immediately dodge when you try throwing a pair of mittens at him. “Hey, don’t drop the bowl!”
“I fucking hate you.” You angrily say, turning your back to him. “Don’t talk to me.”
“Baby don’t do this to me!” Satoru whines, hugging you from behind. “I can’t function without your attention!” He tries to look at your face, peeking from your left and right but you manage to look away every time. “You’re so mean, you know that right? Come on, look at me.” He uses his hand to gently turn your head to look at him. “There you are.” Satoru gives you a small kiss on the cheek, resulting in you getting all shy and flustered.
“That was not fair.” You complained, but still happy that you got a kiss. “Is the oven ready? My hands are getting a cramp.”
Satoru takes the bowl from you and hands you a cookie scoop. “Here. You can do the honor of scooping the cookie dough onto the parchment sheets.”
You happily take the cookie scoop from his hands and start scooping. Satoru watches beside you, his heart melting at the sight of your happy face. As soon as the parchment sheet was filled, you set the cookie scoop and lifted the baking sheet. “Done! Now that was easier than when I tried doing it alone.”
“Well, I did most of the work.” Satoru brags, making you roll your eyes. “Here, give it to me. I’ll put it in the oven for 12 minutes.” He places the cookies inside the oven and closes it. “While we wait, we can either relax or-”
“Relax.” You immediately say, to which Satoru gives you a funny look. “I want to sit down! I’ve been standing for like ten minutes and my legs are hurting.”
“Okay, you go sit down on the couch. I’ll clean the kitchen.” Satoru says in defeat, and you cheer, immediately making a beeline for the couch. He shakes his head, a small smile on his face as he sees your content face when you finally sit down.
As soon as you hear the ‘ding!’ from the oven, you immediately stand up. “Are they ready?”
Satoru opens the oven, grabs a pair of mittens, and takes the cookies out. “Mhm, and they smell good too.”
You walked closer, took a whiff, and hummed in delight. “Looks like you managed to remember the recipe well this time.”
“Hey, I’ll have you know that I have a perfect memory,” Satoru says. You are about to take a cookie but Satoru quickly stops you. “Careful, they’re still hot.” He grabs a pair of chopsticks, for some reason, and hands it to you. “What? That’s the closest thing to me right now!”
“Satoru, that is not going to-” You immediately stopped what you were about to say, seeing Satoru easily transferring each cookie onto a plate with ease. “Okay, never mind.”
Satoru smiles proudly, setting the chopsticks down. “Well, we can now enjoy our movie night with our perfectly baked cookies. What should we watch tonight? You can pick this time.”
“Really?” you asked once more and Satoru nodded. “Okay, then we’re watching every single Barbie movie in existence.”
He immediately groans, clearly regretting his decision to let you pick the movie, but he doesn’t say anything else (because he secretly loves seeing the happy smile on your face when watching these movies).

jameson and grayson head canons
@reminiscentreader requested these and i'm more than happy to do them. i hope you like them (btw this has not been proof read cause i'm wayyy too lazy).
when jameson was younger, he used to spy on grayson all the time to try to learn how to be more like him and please tobias (tobias hawthorne, i hate you)
jameson will sometimes join grayson when he's swimming
when grayson finds jameson passed out drunk in the house, he drags him up to his room and places some water and ibuprofen on his nightstand.
on grayson's birthday, jameson gives him a gag gift in front of everyone, but gets a more meaningful one and places it somewhere in his room.
during the eras tour, jameson tried his best to get grayson to dance and sing along or at least smile (it worked, he started swaying his hips a bit and everyone was shocked)
when grayson is overworking himself, jameson will do smth really stupid to get his attention and get him to stop working (he doesn't want to outright say he cares and that he's overworking himself)
grayson loves discreetly taking photos of jameson and giving them to avery.
jameson once managed to get grayson drunk (gray was so drunk he started telling everyone how much he loves them and can't imagine his life without them)
when grayson met lyra (or whoever is love interest is), jameson played match maker
speaking of that, jameson talked grayson into confessing
at avery and jameson's wedding, grayson was the photographer
once, jamie had a panic attack and just sat there and held him in his arms.
sometimes they'll go on runs or go to the gym together (whatever they do to work out)
jamie sometimes joins grayson on his nature walks (gray loves taking pictures of nature)
when gray is sick, jamie will make him soup and always checks up on him to make sure he isn't working.
when they were younger, jamie once stole gray's camera. gray got so mad it scared baby jamie.
even though they didn't really get along during the entire emily situation, whenever emily did smth like really bad to the other brother, they would point it out.
speaking of emily, even though she was two-timing them, gray and jamie felt bad so they would buy each other little apology gifts.
gray lovesss cooking. whenever he tries a new recipe, he always makes jamie try first.
once gray overheard tobias telling jamie he wasn't as good as his brothers, and gray threw a small surprise party with xander and nash to show him that they love him and that it isn't true.
when he was younger (like 14-15), gray would sometimes get really depressed and wouldn't get out of his room (this made him hate himself bc he has responsibilities as the heir apparent), jamie would sometimes just enter his room sit on his bed, and talk about his day. it would always cheer gray up.
gray used to read jamie bed time stories.
jamie used to have a hugeee fear of heights when he was like 5. gray would bring him out and would take him to this really tall building (nash would trail behind bc they were so young). everyday or so, they would go a little bit higher.
when gray couldn't sleep, he would go to jamie's room and sleep in his bed.
gray knows how to fly a helicopter, and sometimes he takes jamie with him on one of his flights. sometimes they'll be silent, and other times they'll just vent (they only vent when in that helicopter)
they love watching sappy romance movies together
grayson got jameson into reading. they now talk to each other about their favorite books/books they're currently reading.
jameson and grayson were each other's best man.
grayson over works himself as a coping mechanism so jamie tries to get him to try a healthier coping mechanism (like rock climbing, running, etc), and it actually works. gray now runs as a coping mechanism
after jamie and avery's first fight, jamie was extremely scared she was going to leave him. grayson held him and comforted him (he also made him some food (jamie's favorite meal of grayson's is his carbonara pasta, don't ask me why))
gray isn't as obvious as xander and avery, but when jamie's around, he'll start humming london boy
gray introduced jamie to skincare
ok in my xander and avery hc post i said that xander forced avery to re create the vigilante shit performance. gray had to hold jamie up bc j was so attracted to avery he felt weak in the knees.
they dedicate bad blood to emily during the eras tour
sometimes jamie will buy gray some suits he thinks he would like.
that's all i can come up with for now (although i might make a part two someday cause i found it quite easy to come up with hcs for them). next post is going to be an averyjameson head canon post (my favorite ship of ALLL time). if anyone has requests, i'd be happy to take them.

Tumblr media
It was another casual day on the Red Force. Everyone was either chilling or playing games. You were in the kitchen , swaying your hips to a song you were whistling. You had found another recipe that you wanted to try out. It happened to be a chocolate mousse cake with a smooth exterior.
You hummed some sea shanties as you sprinkled unflavored gelatin powder over a small dish filled with water. While waiting for the gelatin to become gelatinous and clear , you heated a pot of heavy cream just until it started steaming. When the gelatin 'bloomed' , you whisked it into the heavy cream.
While you were whisking , the door to the kitchen was pushed ajar. You didn't bother to look over since you knew they weren't gonna bother you. You checked the mixer to see if the cream came out as stiff peaks , which it did. You smiled while you whipped egg whites along with cream of tartar and sugar to create a fluffy meringue.
From behind you , you heard a gruff voice speak to you. "Are you making some kind of fluffy cake ?" It was the captain of the ship himself , Red Haired Shanks. The two mixes you made were individually folded into the bowl of chocolate you set aside a bit ago. To fold , you used a rubber spatula to gently run it around the mousse and through.
"I'm making a Chocolate Mousse cake !" You responded cheerily. You continued folding the batter around until it was the perfect consistency. You poured it into the cake platter and pushed it into the already preheated oven. You turned to your captain and brought the rubber spatula to his lips. "Here , try it ! It's a new recipe that I wanted to try out." As your words slipped past your lips , his tongue trailed along the utensil.
"Sweetheart , this is delicious !" He laughed heartily and took the spatula from your hand to finish it. "Thank you , Shanks !" His laugh was contagious. Because of that fact , it caused you to laugh along with him.
"Lucky wanted to know if ya needed any help in here , but it don't seem like you need any lil missy." He patted your head , ruffling your (color) locks. Your smile widened as you pulled him into a hug.
"Oh ! When you're done , Beck says he has a surprise for ya." Shanks spoke smoothly , placing his arm around your smaller waist. "Ooh ! I have the timer going , so can I come now ?!" You asked , stars lighting up in your doe like eyes.
"Of course !" He pulled away from your embrace and gently pushed you towards the door. "Hey , Beck ! Lil Missy wants to see her surprise !" Shanks shouted from across the deck to his first mate.
"I'm right here , Shanks. There's no need to shout for me." Speak of the devil and he shall appear. The gray haired man stepped out of the shadows and stood next to you and the captain. Shanks' brown eyes met with Benn's black ones. The one armed man chuckled and stumbled away from you as Benn walked towards you. He handed you a small , black bag.
"Here. We feel bad that we ruined one of your other bathing suits , so we pitched in and got you some new ones. Along with that perfume that you said you liked. Yasopp also got you a necklace with your name engraved on it." As he said that , he showed you the red heart pendant that said 'Sweetheart of the Red Haired Pirates' on the back.
As you read it , you huffed. "Sweetheart of the Red Haired Pirates ??" Cue some laughs erupting from the crew who now surrounded the two of you. Despite your initial embarrassment from the necklace , you looked back at them with tears filling your eyes.
The crew started panicking. You heard variations of 'we didn't mean to hurt you' and stuff like that. You laughed and held the bag close to your chest. "Thank you , everyone. I appreciate it." Your smile could replace the sun , according to them. It was so bright and so sweet that it made them question how you were even a wanted criminal in the first place.
Benn patted your back gently and gave you a soft smile. "Glad you like it , doll." Your face burned a bit , but you just smiled kindly at him. "Why don't we have a party for our little missy ?!" You heard your captain yell. You turned your (color) eyes towards his direction and noticed him slamming down bottles of alcohol. The crew cheered and basically all yelled 'hell yeah !'
---
Though the party raged on , you had to retreat to the kitchen to check on your dish. You combined the layers together and waited for it to cool on the stove. You sat on the counter and huffed. As much as you loved the boys , they could be a bit too rowdy for you sometimes.
Being in the kitchen by yourself gave you the quiet time you needed to rejuvenate. Your eyes turned to the door as you heard it crack open. Your eyes met with playful brown ones. "Oh , hey Yasopp !"
"What up , missy ?" He replied , closing the door behind him. "Whatcha doin' in here ? The party is out there." He walked over to your side and stared down at you , his smirk never leaving his face.
"Oh ! I was finishing up this chocolate mousse cake ! And I needed a bit of quiet time. Hope I didn't upset you guys too much !" As if to make up for it , you kissed his chin. He laughed and slung an arm around your shoulder. "You didn't upset us ! We were worried aboutcha." He shrugged and put his large hand on your smaller head.
"I'm sorry , I didn't mean to worry you guys . ." A hint of sadness coated your voice. This made Yasopp feel horrible. He panicked and smiled nervously. "No , fuck. That's not what I meant. Forget what I said. Did ya make the cake for us ?" He asked in an attempt to change the topic. It worked. It seemed like you had completely forgotten what he said previously.
"Yeah ! I hope I made it big enough. Wanna try a piece ?" You asked as you began cutting slices into it. You pulled a piece off and placed it onto a clean plate. "Only if ya feed it to me !" He laughed and placed his rifle on the table.
You nodded and got a fork from the drawer next to the cabinet. You took a piece off of the cake and placed it towards his lips. "Say ah ~" He opened his mouth and you gently placed the slice on his tongue. He wrapped his lips around the fork and made a noise of satisfaction.
"You're gonna feed him and not me ?? Wow , Sweetheart. I'm - HIC - I'm offended !" You heard from the doorway. Your head snapped over to find the source of the voice , Shanks. He had clearly drunken too much. You swore that he would find any chance he could to drink.
"Oh , come on ya oaf. I'll feed you too." You handed the plate to the blonde , who gratefully accepted the offer. He picked his weapon up from the table and walked outside with a smile on his face.
You cut a piece off for Shanks and fork fed him as well. "And what about us ??" You sighed and shook your head playfully as you noticed the line behind the red haired captain.
---
After cutting off slices and feeding everyone , you were exhausted. You sat against the door of the kitchen and watched everyone play around and sing loudly.
You shifted as you felt someone sit beside you. "Hey , Roux. Did ya enjoy the cake ?" You asked happily. "Is that even a question ? Definitely. You're the baker of the Red Haired Pirates , missy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." He took a bite from the meat he had in his left hand and laughed.
"Of course ! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a new recipe." You informed , taking a sip from the alcohol you had gotten earlier. "Really ? It was VERY good." He complimented while putting hid large hand on the small of your back.
"Aww !! Thanks !!" Your cheeks lit up a red shade from his compliment. You kissed his cheek and giggled softly. "Heyyy ! I want one too !!" You heard from a drunken crewmate. Another line . . Sigh.
---
After hugging and kissing everyone's chin or cheek , you were more tired. Without knowing , you ended up passing out on the deck.
---
You woke up in the women's quarters , accompanied by Beck and Shanks. You jumped out of bed and stared at them. "What are you two doing here ?"
Benn rolled to his side and yawned. "Mornin' sleepy head. You asked us to stay." You tilted your head at his words. "Yeah , you begged us to stay here with ya , Missy." Came the voice of Shanks from your right. You scratched your cheek from embarrassment.
"Fuck , sorry you two." You kissed both of their foreheads before you were dragged back down by Shanks.
"Now hush up and go back to sleep , Reader." Before you could complain , you heard light snoring from behind you. It was Shanks , of course. He was already out. You couldn't leave either , since both of them had their arms trapping you against the bed.
Eventually , you just let it happen. The smell of smoke , cologne , and alcohol have you a slight headache , but it lulled you back into sleep.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: photographer!jungsu x fem!reader
genre: smut wc: 3047
cw: friends to lovers trope, praise kink, body worship, masturbation (f), dry humping
Tumblr media
You always used to say that you’ll never make an only fans, but here you are - your account is all set up, you just need to make the first post.
“There’s no way you won’t blow up.” Your friend peeks at your phone.
You keep checking your profile although it’s still empty, and there’s nothing to look at except your name and the cheesy bio that you should definitely change with a new one before you upload anything.
“You’re fuckin’ gorgeous and your best friend is a professional photographer that doesn’t want your money.” Your friend keeps babbling while scrolling on her phone as you snack on a bag of chips together. “If that’s not a recipe for a successful only fans I don’t know what is. So when is the first shoot gonna be?”
“This Saturday.” You reply, just now realising how near the date is.
“Are you nervous?”
You look away from the screen, taken aback by her question.
“About what?”
“About getting butt naked in front of Jungsu?” She spits out, as if making her elaborate was super unnecessary.
For an unknown reason you start thinking over the question. Your friend stops chewing, staring at you intrigued.
“No…” You turn around to avoid her stare. “Of course not.”
Should you be nervous?
Tumblr media
You’re making the last final touches of your makeup when Jungsu rings at your door.
He enters the hallway with a big backpack on his shoulders, an extra bag with equipment in hand and a warm smile. You want to help him out by taking something, but he tells you it’s heavy, so you step aside to give him space.
“Oh, what happened here?” He enters the living room after you, blinking impressed towards the small cozy spot you created right in front of the windows. His eye notices the different positions of some of the furniture right away.
Since you live on a high floor you doubt someone will catch a thing of what you’ll be doing, so you decided last minute to open the curtains and let the natural light come inside the space where you’ll take the photos. The fuzzy blanket on the floor, the vase with the flowers, the candles and cushions are all nicely lit up by the sun making it the perfect time to shoot.
“I moved a few things around last night to make the photos more interesting.” You talk as he inspects your decorations. “Is it too much?”
He turns to you after hearing the slight concern in your question. As he stands in the centre of the room with hands hidden in the pockets of his jeans, Jungsu for the first time since he walked in, allows himself to just stop and really look at you.
Is it because you haven’t seen each other in a while because you’ve been both busy with work and finals, or is it because the reality behind him being here is starting to sink in?
“No, I think it looks great actually.” Jungsu quickly mumbles like he’s trying not to get lost in his thoughts again. He squats down to unzip his bags. “You might make a good creative director.” He chuckles quietly, taking out his equipment one by one.
A moment later, after Jungsu has set up his camera in the right position with the appropriate settings and lights, he takes a step back, giving you a thumbs up.
“We can get started if you’re ready.”
“I just need to change, I’ll be quick.”
He mumbles you to take as much time as you need, watching you run to the sofa that’s now moved to the other side of the room. He didn’t expect you to change here so when he accidentally catches you pull down your sweats, he turns back around so quickly, as if he’s not about to actually photograph you half naked, and then eventually… completely naked.
He feels your familiar presence getting closer, but he’s too stunned to move a bone, and he hasn’t even seen you yet.
The second you appear in front of him he realises what a huge mistake was to agree to this. There’s no way he can spend an hour, or even more, cause things like this are time consuming, looking at you like this - with your familiar gentle gaze sparkling with lust; with your gorgeous body swaying provocatively in front of the camera, bending in different positions that will be lit up by the sun, while the lingerie will do the worst job at covering up anything.
“I have a few poses in mind, but you better tell me if something doesn’t look okay.”
“Of course,” Jungsu responds in a lower tone after clearing his throat. He continues to speak while focusing on the camera. “You said you want a profile picture, right? Let’s do that first.”
You pick up loosely your hair as you face the camera, parting your lips slightly just like you’ve seen models in different magazines do.
“Lift your chin up a bit,” Jungsu mutters focused on the little screen, and without even realising his lips curl into a smile as you follow his instructions. “Yeah, pretty.”
The clicking sound rings in the room again.
You do a few more - with you biting on your nail; hands on your boobs; a side profile. Each snap is only another reminder of how in love Jungsu has been with you for the past what… almost six years?
Different poses follow up after you kneel on the blanket. Jungsu alternates between squatting and standing up to photograph you from a higher angle while hovering over you.
The closer he gets to you, the more his palms sweat against the camera. It’s surprising his hands haven’t started shaking yet. His mind is fully occupied by thoughts about how beautiful you are; your shape, your curves, and the fact complete strangers from different parts of the world will touch themselves while watching those exact same things he admires right now.
He notices your thumbs tug at the waistband of your panties, and his eyes immediately unfocuse from what he’s doing.
“I think we can move onto the video.” You say through a soft voice that effects him just as much as your next move that consists of swaying your hips left to right seductively while your fingers tease by tugging the lingerie lower and lower before bringing it back up.
Jungsu swallows while zooming at the view of your pussy peeking through the thin fabric. It’s just for a few seconds, but it brings pressure into his core that unfortunately he cannot ignore. He’s undeniably turned on.
He keeps recording as you lean slowly on your elbows, arching your spine like a cat. He starts to feel the fabric of his boxers pressing a bit too harshly on his cock when he’s suddenly standing behind your ass that’s up in the air.
“Jungsu,” your mellow sweet voice pulls him out of his trance. Hours could’ve passed since he started recording and he wouldn’t know, that’s how lost he is in this moment; in you. “Can I ask you to pull my panties down? For the video.”
He hesitates for a second. Is the camera catching his heartbeat? He feels like it’s banging too hard against his chest.
“Are you sure?” He peeks at you. Your head is resting on top of your hands, but after his next words you lift up on your palms, trying to take a look behind your shoulder. “Are you sure you don’t mind I—“
“No, silly,” you chuckle. “You’ll cut this part out, right?”
You smile, staring at the floor while the gentle brushing of Jungsu’s fingertips starts to linger on your hips. He’s so careful with every move it brings shivers down your spine.
He traces his knuckles up your back then glides them all the way down to your lower waist very slowly, making sure everything is caught on the screen. His fingers sneak under the string and tug down until the panties begin to expose more of the pretty shape of your ass.
His mouth waters at the sight. He would’ve never thought he’d find himself in this situation; that he’d be able to see you the way he does in his secret fantasies. True, this is all for your content, but he can feel you underneath his fingertips, and it feels like a dream.
Jungsu’s gaze alternates between watching your folds through the camera and outside of it. It’s time he does something else or he risks to leak through his underwear if he keeps staring into your pussy like that.
“Turn around.” His voice comes out as a whisper. He doesn’t even know why he suggests that. If you turn around he’s almost sure his heart will jump out of his body.
You shift on your back, and your eyes catch Jungsu’s darkened gaze. He looks uneasy, and not as concentrated as he was earlier, when he brings the camera back up close to his face.
You keep on the seductive look while biting on your bottom lip.
“You’re doing perfect,” he praises you, causing your eyes to glow even brighter from the compliment. “So beautiful, stay just like that.”
He moves backwards, as the sun hits the perfect parts of your figure just at the right angle, earning you even more effective shots.
You let out a chuckle when Jungsu notices your panties are tangled around your heels. He drops on his knees and removes them while keeping the video going.
“You can touch me.” You tell him, tilting your head. You’re not really sure what to do for this video anymore, and to be honest, a part of you misses the feeling of his hand on your skin.
Your lips open for a gasp, but nothing comes out, because his palm gliding on your inner thigh steals your breath. It most likely comes from the fact you’re standing with your legs spread wide in front of him…. naked. Both of you can see your tummy clenching as his fingertips trace light patterns on your skin, reaching closer to where you feel warm and wet at the same time. Eventually they trail away, not daring to go further.
The drunken state this put you in makes you bolder, and you take Jungsu’s hand, guiding it to your chest. This time you’re relieved to see he doesn’t hesitate to act on his desires.
“This makes things more interesting, right?” Your question comes out airy from the way he squeezes your breast through the lacy bra.
You both stare at each other for a moment, trying to figure out if you understand the question the same way.
Jungsu nods, moving the camera in the direction of his roaming hand which goes up your cleavage, your neck and stops at your lips. His thumb swipes them lightly to feel enough of their texture without messing up your lipstick.
“You’re so fuckin’ gorgeous.” Jungsu’s breathing turns uneven as your teeth graze his finger before he pulls it back.
He’s kneeling between your legs, so hypnotised by your pretty face that he’s memorised like the back of his hand, but yet, feels completely new to him right now, that he doesn’t notice when your hand starts to rub slow circles on your clit.
At this point he cannot do anything about the tent in his pants. His erection throbs and yearns while he films your lower body sat on the fuzzy blanket. After a moment of you touching yourself, the silence in the room grows intense from an obvious squelching sound - clear lewd noises begin to emerge from you, and not a minute later Jungsu notices that your folds are glistening.
“Jungsu,” a moan spills from your lips; one with his name, that makes even breathing a difficult task.
“Y/N… Shit, you’re so wet.” Jungsu utters, as he regains a better grip on his camera, although caring about the quality of the video is long neglected thanks to your arousal and the way you call his name.
For a moment he wonders if you’re asking him for something. If you’re provoking him. However, he quickly tunes back into his own reality again, - he’s a friend helping out a friend.
“Keep going, you look perfect.” His dreamy voice encourages your hand to move faster, reaching for your peak while simultaneously building up the bubbling pressure in his tummy too. “Your body is so perfect, you’re perfect…” Jungsu’s thoughts that have been clouding his mind from the start begin to burst out on their own.
Your body squirms the second you stop your fingers in one place to delay your orgasm. The camera records your overwhelmed panting, and each flinch of your muscles that anticipate the sweet burst of energy.
You observe your friend who seems just as excited as you, and your attention lowers to his crotch, or more specifically the big vivid bulge underneath the black denim.
“Is it true?” You lean closer, placing your hands on his thighs. “Do you really think I’m perfect?”
He doesn’t hesitate to say the truth, nor he needs time to think about his answer.
“In every possible way.”
You both recognise a new spark in each other’s eyes, one you’ve never exchanged before.
Jungsu’s brows knit together for a moment when you distance yourself back from him.
“Kiss me then.”
Jungsu leaves the camera on the floor not bothering to waste time by turning it off, and crawls on top of you. Your legs hug his hips while the rest of you easily gets used to the nice feeling of his weight pressing against you.
Your lips cannot separate from each other. You kiss deeply and sensually, making up for all these months you spent secretly fighting back against your own cravings. The pleasure flows even stronger through your veins, causing Jungsu to welcome each and every one of your small whimpers inside his mouth.
You break the moment to catch your breath when you get the idea to switch places.
You take a seat on Jungsu’s crotch after he relaxes on his back, attaching hands to your hips. The simple thrill from your weight suddenly on top of his erection shoots intensely through his core, and he groans before you even press against it properly.
You grind once, shutting your eyes closed at the immediate pleasure, then repeat the same move, watching Jungsu’s expression change in a euphoric state.
“Yeah,” Jungsu moans again, but louder, feeling his cock throb inside his clothes, “yeah, like that, baby.”
The friction coming from the rough denim fabric is so strong and effective, it provokes you into instantly speeding up your movements back and forth. The lucent slick spreads onto Jungsu’s clothed bulge, as you put in the effort to reach both of your peaks while rubbing your clit on the stiff shape. He is so immensely hard, that you don’t need to apply much force in your humping to heighten the stimulation. One normal swaying of your hips is just enough, but with each passing second Jungsu’s desperation becomes thinner.
“Fuck, gorgeous…” His hands drag higher on your waist, quickening the way you move on his cock. His fingers dig in your flesh emphasising his needs. “Faster—“
You listen to his pleading tone, and with palms underneath his t-shirt for support, you fasten the pace.
Jungsu’s hazed gaze trails up and down your mesmerising body after he lifts up on his elbows to appreciate the view better, especially the one of your breasts pushed together from the position of your arms.
The hitched pants and whimpers escaping your mouth melt into longer moans as you get dangerously closer to fall apart, but the burning exhaustion of your legs slows you down. Jungsu sits up, digging back into your lower half with his fingertips, not letting the sensation slip away.
You wrap an arm around his broad shoulders, as he helps you ride out your high. His open mouth covers your neck with kisses while you shake on top of him, pressed down as hard as possible by his strong grip. Your voice cracks in the middle of your orgasm that muddles your mind, but not enough to not realise Jungsu cums at the same time as you.
“Aah, f-fuck, ‘m gonna—“ his weakened voice is lost, muffled in the crook of your neck, but it still rings so captivating in your mind, clearing out everything except the thought of him.
Your fingers tug tightly at his shirt as your arms stay around him. You listen to his elevated moan; how it becomes less heavy till all that’s left from it is just panting from relief which warms up your already sweating skin.
While the warm release soaks his underwear, Jungsu slows down the motion of your hips, slightly bucking up his own, as his climax washes off.
You stay in each other’s embrace for a while; the only thing filling the silence is the sound of your own heartbeat till Jungsu whispers in your ear.
“I want to see you.”
His hands leave your body, so you can lay down, allowing him to take a nice look between your legs. The sight of your intimate lips is even more arousing with your skin coloured in light red from the fabric of his jeans; your entrance clenching around air, begging to feel him inside.
You humm from delight when Jungsu pushes half of his middle finger in, gliding through your walls with ease from so much slickness. His ring finger goes in next, stretching you out in the most pleasant way. It feels soothing, laying like that on the floor while he freely moves his digits so slowly like he has all the time in the world. You don’t even realise the camera is back in his hand until he speaks out.
“This is just for me.” He says, meaning the footage of the way you’re squeezing around his slick fingertips.
As time passed, the sunlight sneaking through the window turns much more subtle, and now it invites new shadows to fall over your silhouette, making it even more seductive and addictive for the eyes.
“It’s all for you,” you say back.

-🎈
banana pancakes [love quinn]
love quinn x fem!reader
warnings: a few curse words
mediocre author's note: hey guys! happy belated valentine's day, hope it was full of love in all different forms. love you guys!
Tumblr media
Your location was off…why was your location off? Your location was never off. Love swiped out the app, only to re enter it seconds later. It had to be some kind of tech issue right? Your location wasn’t actually off…right? Wrong. Sure enough your location was still off. 
Love let out a huff, as she shut off her phone, throwing it onto the metal counter in the kitchen of Anavrin. The brunette closed her eyes, resting her head on the cool metal door of the fridge, as she took deep breaths. ‘I trust her’ she repeats to herself over and over in her head, like a troubled school child writing ‘I’m sorry’ on their paper repeatedly. It was odd to her. It was Valentine’s Day, the day of love, and you were completely ignoring her. Only sending a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ text to start off her morning. 
Everything seemed fine then, so what changed? 
You were stressed, like really stressed. It was your first actual Valentine’s Day with someone you truly love. You wanted to make something perfect for the first time. The only problem? You can’t cook to save your life, despite Love teaching you her favorite recipes. 
“Oh for fucks sake!” You yell, opening your apartment door to let all the smoke out of your house before you set off the fire alarm. You take a deep breath, resting your head against the cool metal rail, as you try to get your shit together. This needs to be perfect. Everything needs to be perfect. 
Your head snaps up, as someone’s voice calls your attention. “Hey Gordon Ramsey, I see cooking is going super well for you. A solid five Michelin Stars!” your sometimes favorite 15 year old teases from right next to you. 
“Not now, Ellie. I keep fucking up the recipe and Love gets off work in like 3 hours and nothing is ready,” you vent to the brunette, as you begin to pace the small pathway between apartments. 
She rolls her eyes at you, “Dude, chill out. You’re stressing out about this way too much.”
“I’m sorry, I just want everything to be perfect.”
“And that’s the problem,” she shows herself into your apartment. 
You scoff, rolling your eyes, “Sure Ellie, you can come in,” you say before mocking her voice. “Oh gee thanks Y/N. You’re the best.” 
You follow in after her, a fearful expression on her face as she looks at the steak you attempted to cook. The entire piece burnt to a crisp, she cuts into it, nibbling a tiny piece out of the corner. Her mouth immediately opens, dropping the tiny piece onto the dirty counter. “I didn’t think anyone could be this bad at cooking,” she admits, grabbing a glass of water to wash down the taste. “Like, I actually think you used sugar to season the steak and not salt.”
“Ellie, if you’re just gonna sit here and tell me how shit I am, you can just leave. I already know all of that,” you swing the front door open, gesturing for her to leave.
“Oh stop that ‘poor me’ bullshit,” she tells you, causing your eyebrows to furrow at her sudden tone. “This is why nothing is working out. You’re trying to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be perfect. For some odd reason that I don’t understand, Love is madly in love with you, and no amount of shit steak can change that. So shut the fuck up and just stop trying so hard!” 
Then it all clicks in your head. One of your first dates, she mentioned the simplicity, yet perfect bite of roasted chicken. Nothing too extravagant or special, but a dish that is strong with flavor, yet still feels like it's made by someone who cares. You snap your fingers together, “That’s it, Ellie! You’re a genius! C’mon, we gotta stop at the store!” 
“We?” 
You smile at her, a cockiness written all over it, “Yes we, you just got hired to be my sous chef,” you grabbed your keys, immediately ushering her out of the apartment, and to your car. 
“Oh fuck me,” she mumbled. 
Cooking for Love was supposed to be therapeutic, a way to ease her mind. Unfortunately, for the vegetables she’s cutting right now, it means that they’re receiving a brutal chop. Especially since you left her text message on read, asking what your plans were for tonight. 
A low whistle fills the kitchen as Forty walks in, eyeing his twin, “What did those poor poor celeries do to you?” She shot him a glare without another response, causing him to nod, “Don’t want to talk about it, got it. Let’s talk about something else then. What did Y/N get you for Valentine’s Day? I know she’s got her gift-giving science down to perfection. I told her multiple times to start a business doing that, I’d invest in it, she would make some serious money! I mean can you imagine all the lousy excuses for husbands going to her to buy a gift for their-” 
Forty was abruptly cut off when Love’s knife slammed down onto the metal counter. His eyes wide as he stared at his fuming sister, “It’s 8, I’m off now. I’ll see you later,” she responded in a monotone voice, storming out towards her car with one destination in mind. Your apartment. Whether you were home or not, she’ll let herself in and wait for her, so you could explain yourself to her. 
“God, I hate that you dragged me into this,” Ellie speaks up, through the soft music playing from your speaker. She wiped down the counter, as you set the table with cheesy decorations. 
You shrugged, smirking at her, “If I remember correctly, you butt in yourself. I think it was something about a five Michelin Star rating?” 
She was about to retort when your front door burst open and a seething Love stepped foot into your apartment. You and Ellie stood there wide eyed, not quite sure what happened to make the sometimes intimidating brunette mad. The two of you were bracing yourself for the burst of anger, but it never came. The girl’s frown slowly turned upward into a soft smile. 
“Surprise?” You said, smiling sheepishly at her. You interlock your fingers together, guiding her to her seat at the table. “I made some roasted chicken, and I know you could tell a lot about a chef by their roasted chicken. I just want to say, my roasted chicken will probably tell you I’m a shit chef. But uh, I tried to follow it exactly like you make it, with the potatoes and carrots and reduction, whatever that is. You’ve made it a few times, so I tried to copy from memory.”
Love smiled softly, as you pulled out her chair. “I was trying to make everything perfect, you know? I mean I even turned off my location to go to your favorite donut shop, but they were sold within like ten minutes of opening, and as soon as I got to the front of the line they were closing. So, that threw out the idea of surprising you at work. I almost set fire to my apartment a few times. But I think it turned out okay,” you drift over towards the kitchen, nervously rambling, as you pull out a small little plate of banana pancakes. “I know these aren’t super fancy pastries that you usually bake, but I remember you telling me that you and Forty would make these all the time when your mom was on this no sugar kick. You said it used to be your favorite breakfast and dessert when your were younger, so-” 
You’re immediately cut off when Love grabs the hem of your shirt, attaching her lips deeply onto yours. Your hands fly to the back of her neck, fingers lacing into her hair.
“I’m gonna throw up,” Ellie says, blowing her cheeks up to mock the vomit. The two of you back away from each other, chuckling. 
You let go of Love, walking over towards the kitchen to find a few small plastic containers. You start packing some food into the containers, before handing it to Ellie, “Thank you my sous chef. It was lovely working with you,” you chuckle as she rolls her eyes, trying to fight off a small smile on her face. “I packed enough for both you and Deliliah. Thank you again, really.” 
“Yeah, yeah, don’t get all sappy on me, Chef Ramsey,” she takes the containers from you gratefully, as she bids a goodnight to Love. 
“I love you Ellie!” You exclaim before she leaves. She raises her middle finger towards you without another response. You turn back to Love with a wide smile, “That means she loves me.”
Love chuckles, shaking her head, at your goofy antics with the young girl. “Sure it does,” a fake pout crosses your face as you stand in front of her with your arms crossed. Her hands find your waist pulling you to sit in her lap, “It’s okay though because I love you. Very very much…this was really thoughtful of you Y/N, really.” 
You smile softly, kissing her gently, “I love you more,” you cut a piece of the chicken, giving her a piece with skin, potatoes, carrots, and dipped into the reduction. Just like how she would always tell you to eat it, “Here, try.” 
You watched in her anticipation, biting your bottom lip. Her eyes were neutral as she chewed on what she usually calls the perfect bite. 
“So?” You ask as she finishes chewing. 
A wide smile spreads across her face, nodding, “It’s perfect. You are perfect.”

Special Pudding {Osamu M. x Reader}
Tags: F/M, Food, Fluff, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Soft Miya Osamu, confession, one shot, not beta read, pretty much idiots in love word count: 2,987 Summary: In summer days, you decided to make chocolate pudding for yourself. Not really trying to hide it. By chance, Osamu spots you eating some. The moment he had that first spoonful in his mouth, Osamu has liked your chocolate pudding since and from then on wants more. A/N: idk i just wrote this for fun edit: fixed some stuff [ao3]
•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°~•~°
"Is that pudding?" Osamu asks, pointing at the moist container in your hands. It is, indeed, pudding. Not just any pudding, not pudding that's bought in the store, or something your parents made, It is your pudding, chocolate pudding. In the past weeks, you have been obsessively trying your hand in making some for yourself, mostly to stave off the summer heat. After many attempts, this was the best one. For a split second, you hesitated answering him, not wanting to share your hard earned work. Then, the thought of wow-ing Osamu with your new found specialty dessert pops up. 
"Yeah, I made it. You want some?" You offer it to him. He stares at it, undecided and unimpressed.
"I dunno... it looks kinda bad."
"Oh c'mon! Since when did you pass the offering of free food?" you argue, scooping a spoon of the pudding and holding it up for Osamu. He suspiciously looks at you, more to just get an annoyed reaction. The spoon is taken from your hand and he slides it in his mouth. Once the spoon is gone, his jaw moves in a steady motion. Eyes close, focusing on the tastes. A small smile creeps on each corner of his mouth.
“See? I made good pudding.” 
"Free food? More like a free sample if you're just gonna let me have one spoon." he digs the spoon into the pudding. Now, you are annoyed, "just a second ago you basically called it weird looking."
"And I'm coming back for another bite. Take it as a compliment."
You roll your eyes. "Fine, you can have more, here."
He also holds of the container of pudding, not tugging it away from you, taking one spoon after another. It's the first time you let Osamu eat anything you made and you are very, very glad that he likes it. Happy as you are, the pudding is already half empty and you've barely dug in yourself. Osamu is using your spoon after all.
"Hurry up! I wanna eat"
A muffled sound of reluctant agreement slips out of hus mouth, but he takes another spoonful before he returns it to you.
“Got anymore?”
“Last one. Sorry”
Osamu frowns as he watches you eat, like a child denied a cone of ice cream. It's clear that he'll be waiting for you to get enough then get some more again. You couldn't laugh properly, only chuckling with your mouth stuffed and closed. “Next time, when I make one I’ll save some for you.”
"Yeah?"
"Sure, why not?"
-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-
As you spend more time experimenting and trying new recipes of desserts, you keep coming back to the chocolate pudding, youre practically perfecting it. Osamu always wants some when you tell him. A tupperware of pudding would be saved for him and you'd give it to him. He'd return it by the end of the week. The fastest was the day after you gave it to him. You often wondered if he even shares it with Atsumu and you hoped he did. Nothing wrong with someone else enjoying your food. That was until the blond twin ran up to you out of nowhere with furious determination.
 "WHY DIDN'T CHA TELL ME THAT YER GIVING 'SAMU PUDDING??" he asked accusingly. Somewhat offended.
You squint, "wait, doesn't he share with you?"
"NO! He's been hiding it behind other stuff in the–"
"THAT'S 'CAUSE YA ALWAYS STEAL THE STUFF I BUY AND EAT THE FIRST THING YA SEE IN THE REFRIGERATOR!!" Osamu comes running up behind his brother. Roping him into light wrestling.
"THAT'S NOT TRUE," Atsumu claims but his voice falters with each movement.
"LIER!!! STOP BOTHERING HER ‘BOUT THIS!” The fight goes on. It's relatively tame compared to their other fights. You aren’t too worried about anything getting serious. Backing up a little to avoid any elbows and fist coming your way, you patiently wait for the brothers to cool down on their own. 
“YOUR A GREEDY LITTLE SHIT THAT EATS FOOD THAT AIN’T YERS!”
"SAYS THE BASTARD WHO’S BEEN HOGGING AN ENTIRE CONTAINER OF PUDDING ALL TO YERSELF!"
But it seems the two are nowhere stopping from this. There is too much destructive energy emanating from them. You made a gable on your safety by placing a hand on each brother’s shoulder then pushing them apart.
"OKAY! OKAY! THE BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" they hesitantly stop, still scowling and sneering at each other with their eyes.
“Would you both quit it if I just made you two then? One for each of you.”
They are silent, more to give the other a cold shoulder than not having an answer. Atsumu pouts, crossing his arms, “sure. But I still can’t believe you were only giving him this entire time.”
“Well, sorry about that.” you said, actually feeling bad about leaving him out of it.
“Don’t. He’s a big pig”
“WHY YA LIL-”
You give them a harsh slap on their shoulders.
-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-
On the occasions that the twins know you were making your chocolate pudding, you save two tupperwares for them. It was extra work but if it’ll keep them from complaining, that's extra peace of mind in your life. You are quite delighted that Atsumu enjoys it too. But, if you aren't assuming too much, Osamu seems to like it more. You aren’t surprised. Twins still have their own separate set of preferences. It's just that Osamu liking it more always makes your chest flutter. It’s embarrassing, you’d rather he not notice when you try to hold back a big smile.
Eventually, you began to grow tired of the sweet dessert and decided to stop for a while. You still loved it, but having too much too often wears off its specialness. It wasn’t really a big deal, that was until Osamu out of nowhere leaned his chin over your shoulder, arms around your waist, and asked, "Hey, when are ya gonna make chocolate pudding again?"
It confuses you, not really considering that he would notice that you’ve stopped. You put some thought into it. Will you make it? Not really in a mood for pudding, although you don’t mind if Osamu is asking. “It's almost winter and you still want some?”
“I mean, can I?” he said, uncharacteristically shy of him. It's kinda cute. But, you're not letting yourself be fooled if this is his way of persuading you. "You're gonna pay for half of the ingredients if you want me to make some.”
In an instant, he straightens up. Swirling you to face him and he looks at you with at most seriousness. “How much?”
You laugh, ruffling up hus gray hair for fun. "Come with me later to buy them. We can sort it out then”
His eyes practically glowed at your answers. And he does go with you to the market the day after, carrying the basket of ingredients as you pick and choose.
“Do ya really need this much when ya make yer pudding?” 
“Yeah, I’m making it for Atsumu too.” The smile on his face disappears at the mention of his brother. He must really not like sharing his food with Atsumu. But its not like he needs to. After all, they get their own.  He said, much like suggesting a bad idea he knows you'll deny, “Can you, like, not?”
“Don’t be like that. You two will fight again.”
Osamu knows you had a point. Still, he isn’t on board with it, glaring at the floor. The part of your heart that has a soft spot for the mellower twin weavers. “How about this, you get more cream on top than him. Sounds good?”
“Yeah?” 
“Yeah, I can do that. It will cost you more though”
His arm wraps around your shoulder as you two walk through the milk aisle together, holding the basket on the other hand. “Fine by me.”
-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-
For the next few years, your chocolate pudding has been in his top 20 in the desserts category, which means a lot since the guy can't seem to choose a single favorite food if anyone were to ask him. When the opportunity opens itself, he asks you to make some. Despite your differing schedules, very often, if not all the time, you do follow through. When you can't, he gets sad, which is adorable of him.
So, it's practically a given whenever you visit, there's a chance you have some with you. However, not once has he ever questioned why you do it without asking anything in exchange. The answer is always that it's not like it's an official service of yours. It was enough that he paid more than half the price. Plus, he is your friend, nothing wrong with doing favors for a friend. Though all of that is true, you just like how happy and satisfied he is with your pudding every time he takes a bite. And, well, you just really like Osamu and spending time with him.
This time around, the occasion is MSBY Jackals having a match in Hyogo. In celebration that Atsumu is in town, the team will have dinner in Onigiri Miya. At Atsumu’s request, you bring your chocolate pudding and he’s paying for it. Lucky for him, you are free that week. Osamu, on the other hand, took the chance to ask for more.g
"Could you make me extra pudding too?" He asks while you are on a call with him and it makes you laugh. "You missed my chocolate pudding that much?" 
"It's hard not to miss good food" he states. 
Out right implying that your dessert is one of his many likes is a sentiment you'll hold on to. You endearingly sigh to him through your phone. "Alright. That does mean you'll pay for your portion."
"Alright," he said, satisfied. Static sounds of clanking blurs his voice. "Don't tell 'Tsumu, by the way."
"Sure. But, don't get mad at me if he finds out, though."
"Never had been, have I?"
"That's true."
-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-◆-◇-
The celebration comes and by the end of the night the chocolate pudding was as good as gone. A hit among the players. Their captain took three servings, so does Bokuto. When you offer one to their aloof member, Sakusa, it takes a bit of convincing. In the end, he eats some, giving you a mere 'its good', which is a big deal according to Atsumu. Hinata was lucky to get the last serving. You didn't even get a bite of your efforts, so it was a good thing that Osamu requested more. As promised, you didn't tell Atsumu of the extra stash of pudding you and Osamu hid. Once the restaurant closes and Atsumu is long gone with the rest of his team, you and Osamu head back to his place to eat the hidden treasure to end the night..
Fresh from the cool fridge, you both take your own servings of the chocolatey treat. Osamu is as happy as ever with each spoon of pudding he places in his mouth.
"didn't you eat a lot of this already? I'm surprised you could stuff yourself more with that," you point your spoon to him.
"Nothing wrong with extra dessert"
"You sure you won't get your stomach hurting?"
He laughs, a low rumble on his chest. "What am I, a kid?" Osamu doesn't give you the chance to answer, shifting his attention to the dessert at his hands, reveling at its taste. 
"I might just kiss you for how good these puddings always are."
"Haha, sure," you say. Not fully registering what he just said, what you just said. Once it settles in, your skin spikes up into a panic, doing your best to not look at him and shoving a spoon in your mouth. Why did you say that? Why did he say that? That was definitely a joke.
"For real? I can?" He asks, clear and genuine.
The sirens are wailing at you to 'play it cool'. It's just a teeny-tiny kiss. You've had friends kiss your cheeks before. Osamu won't be any different. You may like him but he is still your friend too.
"Yeeeeeeahhh. Suuuuuuure," voice slightly stilted, waving a hand to downplay the situation. Just you merely entertaining the notion. In the grand tapestry that is your friendship, it's just a small thing that won't cause an unraveling. You close your eyes. No way you are looking at him. Placing a finger over your cheek, you say, "right over he-"
Osamu pecks you right on the lips. Your body stiffen up. The stickiness of the small bit of cream lingers. Without much of a big reaction from him, he says "Thank you for the pudding" and returns to focus on staring down on the pudding to scoop another spoonful.
"wah- why'd you do that" you ask, breathless from a single peck that barely lasted a second.
"Ya said I can, didn't ya?"
"ye. YEAH. BUT-" you're at a loss for words. everything is mixing up at a blender's speed. Confusion. Giddiness. Flabbergasted. Embarrassment. And you're quaking like a blender too. The only thing that's keeping you from losing sanity is Osamu's slowly blushing cheeks, proof that he is affected by it too. How is he so nonchalant about this, though? You place the serving of pudding over the kitchen table to save it from your slipping grip.
Taking another spoon of pudding in his mouth. He hums the way he always does when he likes the food he is eating. You could only stare, still confused. "This is so good," his words slightly garbled. Osamu turns to you, assessing your expression. Then, he dives back to kiss again before you can do anything. Just as quick as the first, like he is testing your lips. The softness of his gesture somewhat tickles you. “Really good.”
“Hey!” you try to catch his attention. “Why’d you– how are you–” words come out as blubbering and disjointed. Face heating up with each tumble your tongue takes. You don’t understand how unfazed he is right now, having just kissed you twice. Is it not a big deal to him? Is he toying with you? The initial startling fades as your mind ponders the sad possibility. Osamu is quick to notice your silence, setting his pudding down beside yours.
 “Oh, are ya mad?” He said with sincere concern, bumping his arms to you as a means to comfort. What exactly do you say to him? Should you get mad? You sigh, 
“I’m– It’s because– Are you just messing with me, Osamu?”
“A lil bit.” he admits, though not seeing it as big of a crime as you do.  
“It's just ‘cause ya said I can, so I…” He strays, placing his rough hand at the swell of your cheek, bringing you to face him. You can see that he’s searching for his words too. Thumb brushing you with a new warmth he has never done before. “And I’ve really wanted to do that for a while now.”
Not able to wrap your head around his confession, doubt lumped up in your voice, you ask “you have?”
Osamu removes his hand away from your cheek. Straightening himself up to face you. He takes your hand, cupping it between both of his own, as if giving you a secret you can’t see just yet. Gentleness in his eyes with a tender smile. He shares his truth. "I like ya for a long while now.”
It's a sweet and honest truth. It all bubbles up into you breathily laughing, leaning your head on his shoulder as he keeps you balanced. The scent of rice still clings to his black uniform. He hums along with you.
You say, "couldn't you have said that first?"
"uh," he laughs softly. "Sorry. Guess I got too excited." The tension in the kitchen dissipates with each laugh. Osamu takes your pudding from the table, scooping in it with his spoon. You are still at the height of his confession to point out that it's your pudding he is about to eat from. He raised the spoon to your mouth.
"Eat up. to calm ya nerves a bit."
You can only oblige. The sweetness is soothing, cleansing away any remaining nervousness you had. Osamu is careful to slide it off your lips before digging it in your pudding again.
“Atta girl,” he purrs, brushing your hair behind your ear as you slowly chew. It's new, this kind of affection coming from him, but you welcome it nonetheless.
You have something to say before he leans in again. "WAI-" is all you could muster as his lips are on yours for the third time, a little longer, a lot firmer. Fingers on your chin. He eases you into a slow kiss. Three kisses and an indirect one. He really is taking his shots.
When you pull away, you lightly burst out “seriously??” 
Osamu chuckles, pulling away to take both puddings on each hand and handing yours to you. “Sorry, you taste good too,” he said. This time placing a peck on your cheek. 
"C'mon, finish it up before it melts."
The two of you eat together in comfortable silence. A new feeling lingers in the air. A sense of rose tranquility. You could get used to this.
“So,” you start, taking another bite. “What do we do now?” Osamu inches closer to your side, enjoying this new kind of company from you.
“Am I yours?”
You pretend to ponder, just to draw out your answer.
“I guess so.”
“Is that a yes?”
You take your chance to place a kiss on his cheek. This time, He’s the one caught off guard, smiling at you as he wipes the small bit of stickiness off. 
“Yeah,” you said. 
Wrapping an arm around your waist, Osamu places a hand on your hip to pull you closer to him. 
“Stay over for tonight, why don’t ya?”

❝ 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 .ᐟ ❞ We've heard love triangle's between one of the Tweels and Azul, however... what happens if two brothers, fall for the same person?
GENDER NEUTRAL READER 2.1k Special A/N: This has consumed my mind for quite a bit of time, so lets put it to work!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Y/n was going about they're regular routine, just like usual, finishing their daily tasks for Crowley, when FLOYD caught them. They didn't think much of it, and before they knew it, an hour had passed. As they talked to Floyd, about many different things.
A couple hours later, Y/n had to take their leave, as they had many tasks left to complete. And as they left Floyd had a strike of realization, this was one of the first times he had sat down in one place, and talked... for hours on end, without getting bored.
The realization left him star-struck, and that was only the beginning, Floyd began to seek out Y/n more and more, until he finally realized that he may have had feelings for the magicless perfect.
Y/n made their way down the halls, when they heard they're name, causing them to lose balance for a split second. Which caused them to fall face first on the floor.
A nearby eel witnessed this incident, and though JADE was close enough to catch the falling perfect, he didn't bother. Nor did he care for them. It was only until he realized how fast they composed themselves, did he gain the slightest interest in talking to them.
The pair engaged in small talk for a while before they had to leave for their respective classrooms.
Ever since that day Jade and Y/n, always somehow encountered each other, many would call it fate. He even began to grow intrigued at they're clumsy nature. And before the eel knew it.. he was in love.
FLOYD LETS HIS LOVE BE KNOWN BY: Floyd casually hands you a bracelet, it seemed handmade. A beautiful blue toned seashell bracelet. "I made it for ya' lil shrimpy" he said, bearing a grin. The gesture seemed unlike him, yet was adorable too. Y/n was so taken aback, that they failed to notice the blush the eel adorned. JADE LETS HIS LOVE BE KNOWN BY: A terrarium, was displayed on your desk with a letter displayed, clearly stating it was for you, there were no signature or name written on the card, simply "To: Y/N L/N", yet you managed to notice that the plants inside was your favorite's, and only a certain Octavinelle student was aware of your favorite plants.
SMALL THINGS FLOYD DOES: Checking up on you, though it doesn't sound like he cares, he would try his best to make sure you're ok, sneakingly passing you, one of his favorite snacks, if he knows you haven't eaten. "I heard ya' didn't eat?" The man searches through his uniform, until he finds something and hands it to you "Well here lil' shrimpy" before you could thank Floyd, he already ran off, staring at your hands, you realize it was your favorite chocolate bar. SMALL THINGS JADE DOES: Making sure you're healthy, analyzing your behaviors, giving you a plant that helps with sleep, herbal tea recipes, hell on his free days the man invites you for tea. Jade had asked if you wanted to come over to Octavinelle for some tea, of course the invitation was surprising, and you were more than surprised at the beginning. But you agreed nonetheless. "I'm glad you came, perfect." The eel grinned, it would have seemed frightening if you hadn't grown so used to it by now.
JADE and FLOYD were both completely unaware of how they were wooing the same person, until one day, they were confronted by Y/n themselves.
The oblivious perfect was unaware of the mistake they had made, completely unaware of how much both brothers loved them, oblivious as they were, at that moment even an idiot would know what was going on...
WHO WOULD THEY CHOOSE?

Tumblr media
It’s been two months since Simon gave up his military life. He sworn days trying to cope with his new life and routine, away from violence. During his time back home he had befriend the owner of a bakery, around the corner near a university. Simon has grown to like the atmosphere the place brought and the pastries that were given to him held an amazing taste each time he bit into them when he had returned back home. His mask had remained on along with a hoodie over his head, keeping his identity hidden since he hasn’t grown used to removing it. He expected Y/n to tell him to remove it due to some students growing afraid of his presence, instead he had told the students that complained to him that all customers are free to wear what they please with no judgment and if they didn’t like it then they could pick another place to study and eat food.
Simon couldn’t help but grow fond of him even more, wishing to be by his side each time he came into the bakery. His new routine, now involved stops at the bakery where he ordered his usual whenever the owner son would approach him, sneer on his face as he glared down at him. Simon grew used to the teens sassy remarks and didn’t let it bother him, he dealt with far worse during his missions and didn’t mind some humor into his life. There were times that he will pass by the bakery when it was closed due to a holiday or weekends, hearing the sound of a violin playing from above the bakery where the owner and son lived.
He had asked Y/n the following day about hearing music from his home, only to find out that Y/n’s son, Alex, was the one who played the instrument during his free time. While Y/n spent majority of his day off buying ingredients and coming up with new recipes for the bakery, getting ideas by his sons music or when it comes towards curtain events in his own life. He had shared some of his new recipes and gifted them to him first before he started selling them in the shop. Simon had felt warm that day, knowing that Y/n trusted his judgement on his baking and perhaps on further ideas for the bakery.
Simon has gotten so used to visiting that it was his first time coming over without Y/n in charge of the place for the day. He enters the bakery one afternoon, the smell of fresh baked goods filled the air when he walked inside.
“Welcome to—oh god it’s you.”
Simons hears Alex’s groan of dissatisfaction, frowning at the taller man that stood before him and grinned under his mask. “Your father leaving you in charge today?” He asks, raising a brow as he finds an empty seat close by the counter as he sits down. Alex standing next to him as he adjusts his apron. “Not really in charge, but he did leave to buy some extra basil—we sold out on my dads new sandwiches and he ran to get more ingredients. The university students will be stopping by soon so, don’t scare them.” Alex points out.
Even though Simon has done nothing wrong in the bakery or anything to cause trouble. The students still visited with hesitation each time they saw him inside the bakery. No matter how many times Y/n had told them that they’re safe they still doubted him a little. Simon only ignored the students and continued on with his own business. “I won’t.” Simon responds back to Alex, smirking at the teenager as he rolls his eyes. “The usual I’m guessing?”
“Yes, the cookies your father usually gives me—I want to change it. What would you recommend?”
Alex hums, tapping the tip of the pen against his chin as he thinks, swaying side to side before saying. “Allergic to peanuts?”
Simon shakes his head. “I don’t have allergies.” Hs answers, tilting his head to the side. “Oh, we’ll that’s too bad.” Alex murmured under his breath. “Let me see what we have available.” He added, due to their place getting busy early in the morning they have sold out in a lot of pastries and his father was out getting more ingredients for the day. Alex walks over to the front counter, rounding the place to check up on what they still have. While the teenager remains busy behind the counter, the entrance door is pushed open, bell ringing in alert that a customer had arrived.
Simon had glanced over to see Y/n stepping inside with a box full of ingredients, pushing the door open with his back and stepping forward as he holds the box steady. Simon comes to a stand, approaching Y/n as he reached for the box, taking it from his hands. “You’ll hurt yourself.” He mumbled out as Y/n squeaks in surprise and allows Simon to take the box. “Thanks.” He responds back with a small smile, a hint of sadness in it.
Simon raises a brow under his mask, setting the box onto the counter, startling the young teenager as he glared at Simon and then turned to Y/n. His gaze softened. “Is something wrong?” He asks.
Y/n runs his temples. “I went to the market where I usually get the rest of the ingredients but they were out of a few things, told me that another delivery won’t be in until tomorrow afternoon.”
“That’s good right?”
“No Alex, it’s not good at all. I have a cake to bake for someone’s wedding tomorrow and I have to deliver it on time and I placed an order on what I need with the market but they won’t come by to drop it off until I leave and I can’t be late for the wedding and I—“ Y/n was rambling, pacing back and forth in worry as he tries to think of a plan to get both things done. His happy and enthusiastic mood had soured, worry and anxiety taking over. The room grew tense as some university students took notice of his mood, not used to seeing their favorite baker all stressed out.
Simon had noticed some students watching them, reaching over to take ahold of Y/n’s wrists and dragging him to the back, even though he wasn’t allowed in the back room he knew that it was right for Y/n to be away from the publics eye. Once they enter the back room it grows warm and quiet, away from the world as Y/n breaths heavily.
“Alex.” Simons voice is deep and in alert as he turns towards the teenager, getting his attention. Simon later turns to Y/n, “the bakery opens at nine, right?”
Y/n nodded slowly.
“Good, Alex won’t be going with you?”
He shakes his head, no.
Simon hums. “I offer my help to open the bakery while Alex gets everything ready I’ll be waiting for the food delivery. You focus on the wedding cake that you need to get started on.”
Y/n gaps at Simon, shocked but also grateful. “Are you sure? Aren’t you busy with your own things or perhaps have plans?”
“I want to help.”
Y/n’s eyes soften, filling with happiness as he smiles up at Simon. The two standing very close, chest brushing up against each other as Simon leans down.
“I hate to interrupt but did you just hire him to work here?” Alex cuts in. Startling the two adults to pull apart as Y/n blushed deeply, looking away shyly as he clears his throat and turns to Alex with a soft glare. “No, I didn’t hire Simon he simply offered his help and I am willing to allow his help…unless you are looking for a job? I wouldn’t mind…” Y/n’s voice goes quiet at the thought of Simon working at the bakery, wearing an apron and helping him bake. The imagine screams domestic to him.
Simon clears his own throat. “I’m not much of a baker myself—like Y/n said, I’ll help with the delivery and with opening the shop.”
Alex frowns. “Yippee.” He wasn’t too excited at the idea of waking up early and being around Simon for the next few hours.
“Hey!” Y/n hits him on the back of head with a dish towel, startling the teen. “Ow! What the hell?!”
“Be happy that you’ll be getting help in the morning, do you really think you can deal with students, let alone cranky old people coming in early to get food and drinks?” Alex pales. “Can you handle the old ladies that live down the street who take forever to order and make up their mind? Or perhaps the students who grow picky and angry when they haven’t eaten at all?”
Alex groans as a cold shivers runs up his back. “God no.” He blurts out, the thought of having to deal with that alone was terrible to him. “That’s what I thought.” Y/n gives him another glare before turning towards Simon, sighing deeply as he looks at the taller man. “I can provided you a key to the shop in case you stop by early, Alex will mainly be awake at around five or six, helping me with the baking.” Y/n and Alex always woke up at an early hour to start making the pastries, keeping them warm and fresh when their morning customers came inside to get their regulars. He’ll mainly be busy with the wedding cake while Alex does the rest of the stuff on his own which takes time, perhaps having some extra pair of hands wouldn’t hurt.
Y/n sighs to himself, taking out his keys and unlatching a golden one. He hands it to Simon who stares down at it. “It’s for the bakery, use mine in the meantime and I’ll use Alex’s to get inside, once you come in tomorrow I’ll probably be busy and won’t see me much but Alex will be here like I said, he will open up and get things started.” Simon gently accepts the key, holding it in his gloved hands and nodding at Y/n, slipping it into his jacket pocket. “I’ll be here tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Simon.” Y/n gives his arm a soft squeeze before collecting his things and heading further into the back of the room, leaving Simon alone with Alex who eyes the taller man. “Please stop flirting with my dad.” He says coldly to Simon while the other glares. “Also you can’t be back here, so—“ Alex points to the exit. “There’s the door.” The damn kid is going to be death of Simon one of these days.

The Void You Left Behind
For @official-timari-server event: Shutterbug Station 2024
Prompt: Dwelling

A03
When was the last time I was here? Luka found himself asking himself as he turned the key to their apartment. 
Was it after the funeral? 
Or a few days after? 
Was it when he let Alya clean the apartment?
He couldn’t quite remember, but even so, he stepped in.
Why was it so dark in here? And cold? Wasn’t it always nice and warm?
Maybe it was because he hadn’t been here in a while. Yeah, that had to be it.
He probably remembered it wrong.
Luka kicked his shoes at the entrance, stumbling over one as he stepped further into their apartment. He cursed it as he let his bag drop to the floor, listening as the thud echoed out into the kitchen.
It was only then that he realized that he was probably going to have to order take out. After all, he wasn’t greeted by the usual aroma of freshly baked bread he would often smell upon opening the apartment. He stared at the barren counter and unused stove.
“Luka! Welcome back!”
For once, Luka saw the kitchen tidy and sparkling clean. Something he rarely saw in their five years of residing in their apartment.
Usually, he’d see the occasional pot or pan on the counter or on the stove. Some days it was a pastry on the counter cooling off or a plate of food waiting for him. There were days where he saw a timer and scattered recipes on the counter followed by a yell telling him to check the stove or oven.
“Luka! Can you taste the soup?”
His stomach growled, signaling him to hurry up with the ordering. So he made his way to their couch to be able to think about his possible decisions for dinner.
As he made his way over, he could hear each and every step he took with clarity, hating that his socks didn’t muffle it one bit. 
He plopped himself onto the couch, quickly opening up his phone and scrolling through apps to see what he wanted to order. He felt the couch dip next to him, a smile curling on his lips as he felt something warm lean into him.
“Hey Mari, want any-” Luka stopped himself when he realized no one actually sat next to him, feeling his throat close up at the realization.
With his hunger long gone, he decided to just watch something on the tv when he realized that the remote wasn’t on the coffee table where it usually rested…on top of the coaster Mari made when they first moved into the apartment.
Luka picked up the crocheted coaster, chuckling at the uneven stitching and obvious mistakes she did while trying to make the round edges of the flower.
“Must you keep reminding me of your absence?” He whispered to himself, laying the coaster back onto the table as he got up, barely registering the answering machine that went off in the kitchen.
“-it’s Tim…just wanted to let you know…if you can’t stay the night, you know you can always stay with us again, okay? Just…call me when you can…okay? ”
He walked past barren walls that were once covered with their wedding photos and photos of their many dates. Photos of their friends and miscellaneous trinkets they would buy while they traveled the world. Photos that were now stored in their guest room that was probably thickly coated in dust.
Getting closer to their room, he swore he heard a voice coming from it, only to find no one there.
Instead, something shiny caught his attention thanks to the small crack of light that made its way through the curtains, causing a reflection to bounce off the metallic item laying on their bed.
He approached it, his throat completely closing up as he picked it up.
Her wedding ring.
The same ring she wore the day she died in the car accident.
The ring that matched his own.
A ring that was the pair to the one he never took off ever since they got married seven years ago. 
A ring that once symbolized their promise to each other.
“Til death do us part.” Luka croaked out, feeling his knees give out. 
He screamed into the bed sheets, gripping at them as he finally let out everything he had been bottling up all this time.
He didn’t know how long he had screamed and cried for, but he knew it was for a while.
His eyes felt heavy as he stared at the ring in front of his feet, laughing back at him as he pulled the comforter closer to his skin.
Despite its looks, the comforter felt cold against his skin. It did not comfort him in any way; it felt nothing like Marinette’s warm embraces. 
Something he had to learn to live without…
A life without Mari…
He slowly closed his eyes, the quietness of the apartment lulling him to sleep.
He hoped he would never wake up…

Dreary Days
You loved dreary fall days. There was just something about the cool weather and rain that made you want to stay in, be cozy, and just forget the outside world for a while. Today the temperature had dropped and the rain pounded against the windows; you couldn’t be happier. It was the perfect backdrop for what you wanted to do. You and your person both had the day off and decided today was perfect for a cozy, relaxed day inside together. You were currently finishing up baking cookies in the kitchen. Although it was a simple recipe, it took you quite a while to finish, as there were multiple dance breaks when the music called for it. You had the bluetooth speaker on the counter and were playing your favorite shared playlist, singing the entire time you worked. As they slid the last tray into the oven and set the timer, you started putting the ingredients away. The last container was the flour. As you closed it, a mischievous idea entered your mind and you grinned, sneaking a glance over at them to make sure they weren’t watching. You took a small handful and used your other hand to close and put away the container where it belonged. You then dipped a finger into the flour and walked up to them. As they looked over at you with an unsuspecting smile, you reached up and swiped your flour coated finger across their nose. You giggled at the surprised look on their face as they wiped their nose clean with the back of their hand. They shook their head playfully at you and started to pull you into a hug. That was when you took the handful of flour and dropped it on the top of their head, rubbing it slightly into their hair. They instinctively pulled back from you and you started laughing at how funny they looked. A smirk slowly formed on their face as they locked eyes with you, causing butterflies of anticipation to come to life in your stomach; you knew that look. They maintained eye contact as they reached for a towel and dusted themselves off the best they could. You were still giggling, though they sounded a bit more nervous than before. They finished cleaning off and took a step towards you, the smirk never wavering. You couldn’t help but take a step back and hold your arms slightly in front of you in defense. One word set your heart racing and your face turning red.
“Run.”
You listened. You took off through the kitchen and down the hallway; you didn’t even know where you were going, you just had to run. Their footsteps immediately followed, and you could hear them pounding the floor, getting closer and closer. You had just made it into the living room when they caught you. You screamed as their arms wrapped around your waist and you were playfully dragged to the couch on their lap.
“Gotcha!” They said with a devious laugh. You were regretting wearing your favorite oversized sweatshirt; their hands had already slipped under the hem to wrap around you. The thin tshirt you were wearing underneath was not going to give you much protection at all. It was also harder to fight back, since you couldn’t reach their hands through the sweatshirt.
“You think that was funny, huh? You know, I can’t be mad; my favorite sound is your giggles! But they’re so intoxicating, I’m addicted! So now I’m going to need to hear more of them. Lucky for us, I already know all the best spots that get the cutest reactions. And since you’re trapped on my lap with nowhere to go and no way to stop me…” You jolted at the first twitch of their fingers against your sides. They began massaging and squeezing gently as you started squirming and trying not to laugh. They kept their touch extremely light and slow, teasing you as you fought not to give in. “Awe, are you trying not to laugh, cutie? That won’t do.” Their fingers suddenly jumped to one of your worst spots and began tickling in the way they knew was most effective. Your resistance broke immediately as your laughter filled the room. They giggled with you. “There we go. Isn’t that better?” They leaned in close and put their lips right next to your ear, making sure their breath tickled you as well as their fingers. “Tickle tickle tic~kle”
