If you're a white F:NV fan and you make Two Bears High Fiving jokes (a racist joke making fun of native naming conventions :/) and just generally do not think twice about the Honest Hearts dlc I think you need to examine yourself

"A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a real-time air monitor that can detect any of the SARS-CoV-2 virus variants that are present in a room in about 5 minutes.
The proof-of-concept device was created by researchers from the McKelvey School of Engineering and the School of Medicine at Washington University...
The results are contained in a July 10 publication in Nature Communications that provides details about how the technology works.
The device holds promise as a breakthrough that - when commercially available - could be used in hospitals and health care facilities, schools, congregate living quarters, and other public places to help detect not only the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but other respiratory virus aerosol such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as well.
“There is nothing at the moment that tells us how safe a room is,” Cirrito said, in the university’s news release. “If you are in a room with 100 people, you don’t want to find out five days later whether you could be sick or not. The idea with this device is that you can know essentially in real time, or every 5 minutes, if there is a live virus in the air.”
How It Works
The team combined expertise in biosensing with knowhow in designing instruments that measure the toxicity of air. The resulting device is an air sampler that operates based on what’s called “wet cyclone technology.” Air is sucked into the sampler at very high speeds and is then mixed centrifugally with a fluid containing a nanobody that recognizes the spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. That fluid, which lines the walls of the sampler, creates a surface vortex that traps the virus aerosols. The wet cyclone sampler has a pump that collects the fluid and sends it to the biosensor for detection of the virus using electrochemistry.
The success of the instrument is linked to the extremely high velocity it generates - the monitor has a flow rate of about 1,000 liters per minute - allowing it to sample a much larger volume of air over a 5-minute collection period than what is possible with currently available commercial samplers. It’s also compact - about one foot wide and 10 inches tall - and lights up when a virus is detected, alerting users to increase airflow or circulation in the room.
Testing the Monitor
To test the monitor, the team placed it in the apartments of two Covid-positive patients. The real-time air samples from the bedrooms were then compared with air samples collected from a virus-free control room. The device detected the RNA of the virus in the air samples from the bedrooms but did not detect any in the control air samples.
In laboratory experiments that aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 into a room-sized chamber, the wet cyclone and biosensor were able to detect varying levels of airborne virus concentrations after only a few minutes of sampling, according to the study.
“We are starting with SARS-CoV-2, but there are plans to also measure influenza, RSV, rhinovirus and other top pathogens that routinely infect people,” Cirrito said. “In a hospital setting, the monitor could be used to measure for staph or strep, which cause all kinds of complications for patients. This could really have a major impact on people’s health.”
The Washington University team is now working to commercialize the air quality monitor."

Holy shit. I know it's still early in the technology and more testing will inevitably be needed but holy shit.
Literally, if it bears out, this could revolutionize medicine. And maybe let immunocompromised people fucking go places again
Also, for those who don't know, Nature Communications is a very prestigious scientific journal that focuses on Pretty Big Deal research. Their review process is incredibly rigorous. This is an absolutely HUGE credibility boost to this research and prototype

Movie Night
Tumblr media
Rating: M | This is smut! No one under 18, Minors DNI!
Summary: You've been crushing on Eddie Munson for ages. When you finally ask him over to a watch a movie, you learn that your feelings are definitely requited. Warnings: General mention of Eddie's reputation/being mistreated for said reputation, protected PinV, oral (m receiving). Pairing: Eddie Munson x fem!Reader Word Count: 7.8k (it got away from me, my bad)
“I think I’m going to ask him out.”
Steve, who had been sorting through tapes on autopilot - huffing at each return that needed to be rewound, muttering under his breath each time your perch on the counter jeopardized his precarious pile of returns - lifted his head at the sound of your voice.
A quick glance around the store reminded him that it was empty, save for the two of you, Dustin Henderson, and Eddie Munson. It was obvious that you weren’t talking about Dustin and he knew you weren’t talking about him - been there, done that; be kind, don’t rewind. 
The only logical conclusion was Eddie and that pulled a grimace from Steve as he spared your one-time classmate a  weary glance.
Across the store, Eddie watched as Dustin - with flailing limbs and grinning lips - sorted through tapes in search of a film neither you nor Steve had ever heard of. He looked amused, eyes wide and bright as he listened to Dustin, and it brought a soft smile to your lips that Steve quickly erased.
“You’re going to ask out Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson?” Steve shuddered, as if he couldn’t bear to think about it - only a little exaggerated, a little dramatic in a way he often teased Dustin for - and shook his head as he transferred his pile to the cart. “Why would you do something like that?”
Though Steve had made great strides in shedding the high school persona he’d spent so long clinging to - he was no longer the Grade-A douchebag he once was - there were still moments of reflexive snobbery that made you roll your eyes. It didn’t help that there was an undercurrent of jealousy, spurred by Dustin’s newfound Eddie worship, but he seemed to realize his mistake as he held up a hand in apology.
“He’s cute.” There was a defensive bite to your tone, sharp and pointed - a derisive huff that made Steve raise a brow - as you spared the pair a glance.
Though most wouldn’t believe it, you’d always found Eddie cute. When he returned to school your junior year (his first senior year) with longer hair, wearing a leather jacket, you’d been drawn to him immediately. There was something about him that enchanted you - his hair, his smile, his big brown eyes, his theatrics, his give-no-fucks attitude - and saddled you with one of the biggest crushes you’d ever had.
Despite the years of pining, you never acted on it. Eddie never gave you much reason to believe your feelings might be requited, other than the time you caught him checking out your ass beneath your cheer skirt senior year, but things were different now. High school insecurity was gone and you no longer cared what anyone thought about your personal life.
And if Eddie truly had no interest in you, you wouldn’t be stuck in a building with him five days a week.
Steve’s face remained sour, uncertain - despite his knowledge that Eddie was almost perfectly your type - so you rolled your eyes and jostled the desk, just to make him jump. When he glared at you, you grinned.
“I mean, what’s the harm? Eddie’s always been nice to me. At worst, I pull a Henderson and replace you with Eddie.”
“Please. My life would drastically improve if you left me alone.” At your mock outrage, Steve sneered - though you could see the glimmer of amusement in his eyes, one that confirmed he was joking, though he would likely apologize for being bitchy later, anyway.
Steve shook his head as he shoved a tape, ready to be marked as a return, into your hands. “Of course Munson has always been nice to you. You’re hot.” It was said easily, as if it was the most logical explanation, a point blank huff that had him shrugging when you teasingly wagged your brows. “You know I think you’re hot. Shut up. And Munson’s weird, but he’s still a guy.”
The sharp nudge of your foot to Steve’s side drew another annoyed huff, this one accompanied by a swift swat to your foot - one that made you laugh and Steve roll his eyes.
“He’s not weird,” you defended, eyes narrowed as you scratched at the Family Video sticker covering the spine of a tape. “Just because you’re not into the same stuff doesn’t mean he’s, like, a freak or something. He’s just a guy. A cute guy, but just a guy.”
Finally, as if he’d come to terms with the fact that no work would be done until you’d decided to make your move or backed down, deflated and intending to leave well enough alone, Steve turned to lean against the counter. He folded his arms over his chest and allowed his gaze to flicker between you and Eddie.
“You’re really into him?” 
Steve knew that you were. Just as you’d given him dating advice, he’d given you the same in return and knew that you had a thing for metalheads in theory - guys with leather jackets and music collections that made his head hurt - but the last person you actually pursued was more like him. It was always the safe choice and he wanted to be certain that you knew what you were getting yourself into.
“You’re totally forgetting that I thought Billy Hargrove was gorgeous until he opened his mouth and proved himself to be a Grade-A dickhead. At least Eddie’s really a nice guy.” With a sigh, you slid from the counter - careful not to destroy Steve’s pile - and frowned as you spared Eddie another sideways glance.
A dejected sigh escaped, fell from your mouth in a puff of hot air, as you emulated Steve’s stance and folded your arms over your chest. You understood where Steve was coming from - his question was fair, one that made perfect sense - but it made your chest ache as you searched for the words to adequately describe what you’d been thinking.
“I just… I’m tired of going for the safe choice, you know? I’m tired of looking for people that won’t disappoint my parents or make judge-y assholes look twice, even if they make me miserable.” With a forced laugh, a sound that rang hollow in your own ears, you turned your full attention back to Steve. “I think you’re the only person I ever even attempted to date that I halfway liked and we both know how that ended up.” Steve made a face, one that clearly displayed his understanding, as he tilted his head to study Eddie, trying to see what you saw. “Eddie’s cute and sweet and I’m not just into him because I feel like I’m supposed to be.”
Steve understood, if only vaguely - he’d chased after people just because he felt he was supposed to, spent his entire high school career being a guy he didn’t really like because that was who he felt he was supposed to be - so he nodded. With a wave of his hand, he gestured to Eddie. “I say, if you want to ask him out, just do it. There’s no chance he’ll turn you down. He’s weird, not an idiot.”
With Steve’s encouragement, if only barely, you turned to face Eddie. There was a fire burning in the pit of your stomach, flames lapping at your already warm skin, as you considered exactly how to approach him. There was no sense in trying to beat around the bush - he was sweet, flirty and kind, but would need to be asked directly, just to avoid any misunderstanding - and you knew that you couldn’t have a conversation with him with Dustin Henderson stuck to his side.
“Steve.”
An exasperated sigh escaped Steve, who had only just turned back to his work, as he held his hands up in defeat. “What?” Warm brown eyes narrowed, focused on you in an exasperated frustration that made you laugh. “What do you want me to do? I’m not asking him out for you.”
Laughter bubbled in your throat, escaped a little louder than you intended and drew Eddie and Dustin’s attention as you imagined Steve playing the middleman for you and Eddie. With a dismissive wave of your hand, you turned your head and pouted at Steve. “Take responsibility for your child and distract Henderson. I can’t ask Eddie out with him right there.”
Steve fixed you with a wholly unimpressed stare, not at all surprised by the turn your day had taken. “Fine,” he sighed, turning his attention back to the screen in front of him. “Get him over here and I’ll distract him. But you owe me. Cover my shift on Saturday? I’ve got a date with Lisa.”
“I thought you were going out with Anna?” Steve grimaced in a way that told you there would be a deeper conversation later, but you wouldn’t allow yourself to be distracted. Instead, you waved a hand. “Whatever. Henderson is literally only here because of you. I don’t owe you shit.” You rounded the counter, brows raised as Steve pulled a face, and laughed when he rolled his eyes. “I will swap you, though. I’ll take your Saturday night if you take my Friday night.”
“Yeah, alright. Just go before I change my mind. The kid can be a total cockblock when he wants to be and I’m thinking about letting him.”
With a middle finger tossed behind you, angled in Steve’s direction - met with his laughter and, no doubt, a middle finger of his own - you started off across the store. Dustin and Eddie had dropped their conversation to furious whispers, an exchange that you couldn’t make out from your distance, but fell silent the moment your steps sounded a touch too close.
“Henderson.” At your greeting, Dustin’s attention snapped to you, eyes wide and lips parted with a sentence you’d broken. Eddie shot him a sideways look and you raised an eyebrow at the silent conversation that passed between the pair. “Steve wanted to talk to you.”
Dustin frowned, eyes darting between you and Steve - whose back remained to your group. “About what?”
Eddie stifled a laugh, wide eyes amused as he watched you huff, and you rolled your eyes as Dustin waited expectantly. “I’m not a mindreader, Henderson. Ask him yourself."
Without so much as another glance in your direction, Dustin turned his attention back to the shelf he and Eddie had spent twenty minutes dissecting. “I’m busy,” he declared, fingers reaching for another tape that he had no intention of renting.
“Un-busy yourself. Now, preferably,” you snapped, eyes narrowing as Dustin turned to look at you. Before he could respond - mutter something smart, a quip that would leave you more annoyed - Eddie laughed and nudged his shoulder.
Eddie’s eyes, wide and pretty - a glassy brown that you could lose yourself in, given the chance - met yours. There was a knowing glimmer, the understanding that you wanted him alone, though you could see a hint of confusion as he tried to imagine just what you could want. “I think you’ve got about five seconds to leave before she snaps, Henderson. Might want to make yourself scarce.”
With Eddie’s encouragement, Dustin shot you an unimpressed glower before he stomped across the floor, muttering all the while. Beneath his breath, he mumbled something about not understanding girls, a huff that Suzie was the least difficult girl in his life, and had the nerves not been threatening to choke you, you would’ve laughed.
“I love those kids,” you began, eyes following Dustin’s retreating form as he approached the counter with an exaggerated huff, “but, man.”
A soft huff of laughter, accompanied by the crinkle of leather as Eddie stuffed his hands into the pockets of his jacket, met your eyes. That knowing smile grew a touch brighter, something more understanding, as he nodded. “It’s his tone,” he declared, grin conspiratorial. “A little humility would go far there.”
“Thank you! That’s what I’ve been saying!”
Eddie laughed and shook his head as you tossed your arms, exasperated, before glancing at you from beneath his lashes. Despite the clear amusement still settled across his features, it was obvious that he was studying you. It made you eager to shrink beneath his gaze, unused to being the center of his attention for longer than a few moments, but you willed yourself to keep your head held high as he raised a brow.
“So, Henderson’s gone,” he pointed out, dragging each syllable out just a moment longer than necessary. “What’s up? If you’re lookin’ to buy, I don’t have anything with me. We could meet later, though, if you want.”
“No, no. That’s not -“ You cut yourself off with a shake of your head, incredulous laughter threatening to escape as you did. “I don’t want to buy. I was thinking, maybe we could watch a movie or something? I want to watch The Return of the Living Dead but my friends are all chickens. I know you like horror so, I just thought, maybe we could watch it together.”
Eddie blinked, clearly caught off guard, and stilled for what felt like an eternity. In reality, only a moment passed before his lips began to curve into a slow smile. There was mischief glittering in his eyes, a warmth you hadn’t seen from him before, and you knew in that moment that Steve was right. “Are you asking me on a date, princess?”
“I am.” Despite his best attempt at nonchalance, Eddie’s brows winged up at your blunt acknowledgement. “Are you going to say yes?”
“Fuck yeah,” he agreed, easy and quick as he laughed. “If I ever say no to a date with you, assume I’ve finally lost it. But, uh, you sure about this?”
Eddie glanced across the store - met another pair of warm brown eyes before Steve and Dustin both hurriedly busied themselves with pretending they weren’t attempting to eavesdrop - and you rolled your eyes. He was far from the first person to assume there was more going on between you and Steve than friendship, but you were quick to dispel that line of thinking.
“Completely.” You debated for a moment, curious as to whether you should dig yourself deeper, but the bright glint in Eddie’s eyes - hopeful and delighted - spurred you on. “I’ve kinda had a thing for you for a while,” you admitted, attempting to feign nonchalance as you swiped at a wayward piece of dust on a shelf. His surprise was evident, brows lifting beneath the curl of his hair, but before he could comment, you barreled on. “My parents are out of town. I have to finish my shift,” you began, glancing at the clock above the desk, “but you can come over at, like, seven?”
“Seven, yeah.” Eddie’s agreement was quick, voice a little dreamy - as if he still couldn’t quite believe you’d asked him out, that you were seriously inviting him over or that you’d admitted to having a thing for him. “That sounds good. I, uh, I’ll see you then.”
“Cool, awesome.” You nodded, grinning at him - unable to even feign nonchalance as his smile mirrored your own - before you turned back to the desk. “I’ll see you at seven, then.”
Neither Eddie nor Dustin lingered long after your conversation - the latter, no doubt, leaving with the knowledge of where Eddie would be spending his evening, thanks to his gossiping with Steve. Eddie left with a smile in your direction and you saw his flailing celebration the second he stepped out of the store, even if you dutifully pretended not to noice. 
Steve, however, made it a point to keep the joyous gesture at the forefront of your mind.
For the remaining three hours of your shift, you endured Steve’s teasing. He poked fun at your upcoming date, wondering idly if Eddie would be waiting for you when you arrived home - too excited too wait until seven - or if he’d wear something other than his leather jacket or black t-shirt. But, no matter what he said, you simply rolled your eyes and kept checking the clock every ten minutes.
The time seemed to crawl, passing so slowly that you were half-sure Dustin changed the clocks just to mess with you, but when the hour struck six, you were out the door with a parting wave and a bright ‘thanks’ to Steve for taking on closing duties alone.
There was little time for anything more than a change of clothes and a quick tidying of your home before seven rolled around, but you knew that Eddie wouldn’t really mind. Though there was something about him that made you nervous - excited, giddy, some kind of schoolgirl crush - if you really thought about it, you figured there was little you could do that would truly bother him.
And, thankfully, before you could think too much about it and send yourself spiraling, a knock sounded at the door.
At seven on the dot, you found Eddie standing at your front door. He’d changed - his leather jacket remained, but it covered a nicer shirt instead of the worn Metallica shirt he’d donned earlier in the afternoon - and you could smell the green apple of his shampoo as he grinned at you.
“Hey.” Though he attempted nonchalance with an easy smile, you could see the nervous tension in his shoulders.
Eddie had been burned - you knew that - and he was likely waiting for the catch. There was none, just a desire to get to know him better, and you wanted desperately for him to know that. So you mustered up your widest grin and held the door open for him.
“Hi. Come in.” As he stepped inside, closer than necessary - shoulder brushing yours, so close you could feel the heat radiating from his body - you hoped he don’t notice the breath you took to steady yourself. “So, I got Return of the Living Dead and Sleepaway Camp. Not sure if you’ve seen either, but Return is supposed to be amazing and Sleepaway Camp is one of my favorites.”
“I haven’t seen Return yet,” he admitted as you closed the front door, “but I’ve heard good things. Sleepaway Camp, though? This whole time, I thought you were cool.” The jab was teasing, meant entirely in jest and accompanied by a grin, and earned a roll of your eyes as you gestured for him to follow you deeper into the living room.
“I don’t know where you got that idea, but I’m happy to prove you wrong.” Eddie followed, close enough that. He could reach out and touch you, and the idea made your thoughts a little fuzzy as you approached the couch. “I won’t be taking any Sleepaway Camp slander, though. It’s killer.”
Eddie paused, tilted his head and regarded you with furrowed brows and a badly concealed smile as he watched you reach for the tapes. “…was that a really bad pun?”
“I keep getting cooler, I’m aware.” Eddie laughed, unable to conceal his smile any longer, as he took a seat at one end of the couch. “I was going to say we could start with Return since neither of us have seen it but now, you’re going to suffer through Sleepaway Camp first.”
As you placed the tape into the VCR and pressed play, you could hear the shuffling of Eddie tossing his leather jacket onto the chair beside the couch. “Fine by me,” he hummed, a sly grin on his lips as you glanced at him over your shoulder. “Maybe the company will make it better.” When you fixed him with your best unimpressed look - a feat, considering the heat traveling to your cheeks - his grin grew a touch wider. “I keep getting more charming, I’m aware.”
“Wow.” The nervous energy began to dissipate with every teasing jab. You were reminded of how easily you’d always gotten along with Eddie - how easily you’d always been able to converse with him, despite the crush that made you conscious of your every move -  as you approached the couch yourself. “You know, now that you mention it, I never realized…” Warm brown eyes tracked your every move, anticipating - hoping for - a compliment as you took a seat at the opposite end. “… just how big your head was.”
The opening scene began to play, sounds of a B-horror film filling the small space, as he reached for the lamp on the side table. “Big head, big… well, you know how the saying goes,” he teased as he settled deeper into the cushions and crossed his arms over his chest.
“I do but I’m pretty sure that is totally not how it starts.”
Eddie shrugged, grin never faltering as he watched you reach for the lamp at your end of the couch. “Same thing. Creative license and all that.”
“Right. All the songwriting and campaign planning, makes sense you get a little creative.” When he tipped his head, seemingly surprised that you knew about both his songwriting and campaign planning, you rolled your eyes. “I’ve had a crush on you for, like, three years. I know things about you, Eddie. And, I mean, I spend time around Dustin Henderson, begrudgingly most of the time, but he talks about you all the time. So, I’ve picked up some things.”
There was a look of something akin to awe on his face as you shifted closer. “You’re pretty, you like horror and metal, and you like me. Why?”
It broke your heart to hear the doubt in his voice - to see the hesitance in his eyes, the residual concern that he was being left out of the joke - and you couldn’t help but sigh as you continued shifting closer to him. “Because you like horror and metal and you’re kinda cool. And, I mean, it doesn’t hurt that you’re kinda hot, too.”
“You know,” he spared the television a glance, “if you didn’t have sort of questionable taste, I’d think this was all too good to be true. But, I’m not gonna question it too much ��cause you’re kinda cool, too. And definitely hot.”
“Glad to know we’re on the same page, then. Now, are we going to just talk or are you going to allow me to educate you in good horror?”
Eddie’s laughter drowned out a brief moment of dialogue - a line you could easily recite - as he tossed an arm over the back of the couch and shook his head. “‘M sorry. Educate away, princess.”
For a few brief moments, the pair of you settled. Eddie kept his attention on the television - and even cracked a smile or two at some of your favorite moments - while you kept your attention on him. His side profile was captivating, so distracting that you didn’t notice the minutes ticking away as you studied him, and he was kind enough to refrain from pointing out your obvious staring as the film played on.
Though you could feel the rapid beat of your heart, a warmth prickling at your skin as you remained conscious of the fact that you’d finally taken the leap and had a chance to make your move, Eddie seemed unfazed by the proximity as he laughed at a particularly cheesy scene. However, when you shifted closer - body now practically touching his - you caught his sharp inhale.
It brought you a sort of comfort to realize that he was not as unaffected as he seemed, nowhere near as nonchalant about the entire encounter as he wanted you to believe, and you couldn’t help but smile as you tipped your head to look at him.
“Do I make you nervous?”
The question was teasing, a light jab, but he didn’t miss a beat. “Of course you do,” he confirmed with a nod and a laugh as he glanced at you. “You’re smart and cool and hot. You fucking terrify me.”
“Me?” You scoffed, despite yourself, and shook your head. “As if. I’m totally not scary.”
“‘M serious.” Eddie relaxed, if only slightly, and shifted his body to face you fully as his arm fell around your shoulders. “No one had their shit together in high school, but you did. You knew what you wanted and it was kind of intimidating.”
“I definitely did not have my shit together,” you confessed, laughing as you leaned into his embrace. “But I’m glad it looked like I did. Maybe I’m just a good actress.”
“If that’s acting, you should be up for an Oscar, princess.”
As Eddie laughed, a quiet sound that washed over you and filled your chest with a sticky warmth, you shook your head. “You’re the only one who gets to call me that, you know?”
Eddie hummed, a flash of confusion washing over his face, before he asked, “What, princess?”
“Mm. I think if it was anyone else, it would sound condescending. Like they’re trying to be a prick, you know. But I don’t mind it from you,” you confessed. “It’s kinda nice.”
That grin you were beginning to love - genuine, warm, happy - lifted his lips as he shifted once more and knocked your knee with his own. “I’m not a big fan of nicknames, for obvious reasons,” he confided, “but I like it when you call me Eds. It’s kinda cute.”
“God, we’re kinda gross.”
“Totally. But I’m not complaining.” Eddie removed his arm from around your shoulders and brought his hand to cup your cheek. He paused for a moment, studying your face, before he asked, “Does it make me a total loser if I’ve thought about kissing you for, like, ever?”
For a split second, you wondered if he could hear the beat of your heart over the screaming emanating from the television - and if you’d heard him properly over the noise. But when you met his expectant gaze, wide brown eyes waiting for you response, you realized you didn’t really care.
“Only if you keep thinking about it instead of actually doing it.”
With your permission, Eddie leaned in and tentatively pressed his mouth to yours. The kiss was careful, hesitant, but you could feel the underlying excitement as the warmth of his palm bled into your skin. Without thinking, you breathed a contented sigh as you lifted your hands to his hair and tugged him impossibly closer.
The noise of the film continued in the background, unnoticed by either of you as Eddie took the initiative to deepen the kiss. He swiped his tongue along the seam of your lips, urging you to open up for him, and you gave in without a moment of hesitation.
As many times as you’d thought about this moment - as many times as you’d pictured yourself in this situation, at the center of Eddie’s attention, with his hands and mouth on you - the reality was infinitely better than any dream. Eddie’s hands were calloused, rough from years of guitar and, now, his work at Thatcher’s, but his touch was featherlight as his hands began to wander.
Gentle fingers brushed along your jaw, dragged down the side of your neck and shoulders, inching lower until they found your waist. Your fingers tangled in his curls, indulging in your long hidden desire to play with his hair, as Eddie pulled away to allow you both a moment to breathe.
“We’re missing the totally not awful movie,” he pointed out, breath fanning over your neck as he dipped his head to nose at your jaw.
“We can rewind it later.” 
Eddie laughed, his smirk evident as he nipped at the hinge of your jaw before lapping at the skin to soothe the brief sting. “Thought you wanted to educate me, princess,” he teased.
Warm hands began to wander, fingers dipping beneath the hem of your t-shirt to brush the heated skin of your waist, as he pressed soft kisses to your neck. Your own hands began to wander as well, dipping to his chest as he latched onto a patch of skin just beneath your ear. 
“Want to kiss you more.”
He hummed, pleased with your answer, as he tipped his head to meet your gaze. Soft brown eyes were blown black and there was a hunger in them that you’d never been privileged enough to see. Now, the sheer weight of his desire hit you all at once as he grinned. “Glad to know we’re on the same page, then.”
Before you could huff, playfully pout at his taunting callback, Eddie reclaimed your lips. This kiss was more heated than the first, hesitance now gone as you realized you both wanted the same thing, and it completely obliterated any remaining thoughts other than how good it felt to have him pressed so close.
Though his hands began to wander, touch fleeting as it dragged across your hips and thighs, over your middle and back to your arms, he remained respectful. As eager as you both were, his hands only fell to your chest when you lifted them there yourself.
Eddie groaned into the kiss the moment you placed his hands, fingers experimentally flexing as you shifted impossibly closer.
“You can touch me however you want,” you allowed, word exhaled against his mouth as you separated just an inch to breathe. “I’ll tell you to stop if I don’t want something.”
“Fuck.” His forehead fell to yours, curls beginning to stick to his forehead with the lightly beading sweat, as he laughed. “Ditto. I’m all yours, princess. Take whatever you want.”
“That’s a dangerous offer.” The hand you’d left on his bicep, fingers tracing the stark black ink of his tattoo, began to wander then. Slowly, you raked the tips of your fingers down his chest - not bothering to hide your grin as he inhaled sharply at the sensation of your fingers raking over his lower stomach - and stopped at the buckle of his belt. “What if I want everything?”
“It’s yours. Been yours,” he admitted, tongue darting out to wet his lips as his gaze met yours once more. “Fuck, you’re all I want, princess. ‘ve been crazy about you for a while.”
“Keep talking like that and you might make me fall in love, Eds.” It was too late - you were already halfway there - and you both knew it. Still, Eddie laughed dutifully as his gaze fell to watch your hands tug at his belt buckle.
“Give me a few hours. I’ve been there, time for you to join me.”
The admission was half-teasing, accompanied by a breathless laugh as you worried with the warm metal beneath your fingers, but it still filled your stomach with a storm of butterflies. The time you’d spent pining over Eddie could’ve been spent lying beneath him, going on dates with him, enjoying time with him, and you were determined to make up for lost time as you tipped your head and pressed your lips to his once more.
“I’m closer than you think.”
Before he could consider your admission too closely, you pulled away and slipped off the couch to kneel between his spread thighs. Those brown eyes went wide, big and disbelieving, as you unbuckled his belt.
“Whoa. Fuck, wait.” Eddie swallowed harshly as he swept his hair from his eyes and glanced down at you. A gentle hand fell to your cheek, urging you to meet his eyes as he blinked away the lust-fueled stupor. “You don’t have to… I mean, I don’t expect you to -“
“Eddie.” He paused, tongue darting out to wet his lips once more, as you cut him off mid-sentence. “You can say no. But I want to. Is that okay?”
Eddie was far from a blushing virgin. You’d heard the rumors, tales of just how talented he was - had even heard the stories of a few trysts from the man himself - but his hesitation gave you pause. However, before you could pull away, he assured you.
“Yeah! Yeah, that’d be - yeah. I’ve had sex. I’ve just… No one has ever… It’s usually a quick fuck and then back to whoever they’re supposed to be dating,” he confessed, pink tinging his cheeks as he hurried to explain himself. “Blowjobs aren’t usually the priority.”
Though you knew Eddie fairly well, enough to have been half-in love with him for a while, you knew his reputation. But to know that others had taken advantage of his desire to love and be loved in return, it made your chest ache. Despite his reputation for being a freak - for being scary, intimidating - you knew that he was a sweetheart who deserved more than he’d been given. And you wanted to show him that you were apply to make him a priority.
“I’d love to be the first, if you’ll let me.”
“Fuck.” Eddie shuddered, his chest heaved with a sharp breath, as he raked a hand through his hair and nodded. “Yeah,” he allowed, “yeah, please.”
Eddie leaned back into the cushions then, allowing himself to relax into the plush of the couch as you popped the button on his jeans. It was obvious just how much he was enjoying the attention - plain to see from the bulge in his jeans and the pink staining his cheeks and neck - and you couldn’t help but smile as you took in the sight of him.
“You’re so pretty, Eddie.” It was reverent, a breathless observation as you tugged at the denim and studied the slope of his nose - the curve of his jaw, the wild tangle of his hair - and you meant it wholeheartedly.
“Flattery will get you absolutely everywhere, princess.” He lifted his hips, allowing you to tug at the denim just enough to expose his boxers - cheeks flushing darker when you bit back a smile at the sight of the blue and white checkerboard pattern.
“Not flattery, just honesty. You’re distracting,” you admitted, glancing up at him from beneath your lashes as you began to palm at the bulge in his boxers. “But I wanna see how much prettier you are when you’re falling apart.”
“You’re killing me. Fuck.”
Deciding that he’d had enough teasing, you gave in to the desire and tugged at the final layer of material separating you. The moment you exposed him to the air, you both gasped - him at the sensation of cool air hitting blistering warm skin, you at the sight of him.
Without thought, you spit into your palm before allowing yourself to reach out and experimentally stroke his cock. Eddie groaned at the feeling, his head tipping back and his eyes fluttering shut, and you felt a surge of warmth wash over you. Each noise he made ran straight to your core, fanned the flames of the fire already beginning to burn out of control, and you shifted to allow yourself some relief before leaning in to lap at the bead of precum already beginning to form.
Another noise, this one louder, met your ears as a warm hand fell to your head. He was careful not to push, careful not to attempt to take control, as he sought to anchor himself to the moment but you wouldn’t have minded either way. And as you traced the vein running along the underside of his cock before taking the head between your lips, you could hear him swear beneath his breath.
Though you were tempted to prolong the pleasure, witness him falling apart piece by piece as you slowly worked him up, you were too worked up yourself to do more than take as much of him a you could into your mouth. You knew there would be time to experiment later - time to push yourself to take him all - so you focused on giving him the best experience you could in that moment.
It only took a few moments for his thighs to begin to flex beneath your touch, for his chest to heave and his noises of pleasure to grow louder. And though you could see the hint of embarrassment tinging his cheeks at beginning to fall apart so soon, you felt a surge of pride at your ability to rile him up so completely.
But before you could lift your head and urge him to come, assure him that it was alright, he spoke. “Fuck, princess. I don’t wanna come in your mouth.” Eddie urged you up, then, away from his cock as he attempted to catch his breath and pull himself back from the brink. “Wanna come with you. Can I fuck you?”
The blunt question warmed you from within, stole your breath and had you keening as you nodded eagerly. “Please.” A moan escaped your lips as he reached out to cup your cheek and pull you into a messy kiss that was an eager clash of tongue and teeth.
For a moment, you both lost yourselves in the kiss. Eddie groaned as your hand remained on his cock, fingers stroking slowly as you waited for him to gather himself, only for him to swear as he broke the kiss. “Shit. Fuck, I don’t have a condom,” he lamented, eyes falling shut. “Sorry. Wan’t exactly expecting,” he waved a hand, gesturing to your hand, “this.”
Luckily for the both of you, you still had a stash of condoms - given to you by Steve as a joke the last time you considered asking Eddie out - in your nightstand. “I do,” you revealed, giggling as his shoulders relaxed. “C’mon, pretty boy.”
As you stood, offering Eddie your hand, he groaned once more. “Is it your goal to kill me, princess? Because I think you might actually kill me.”
“What a way to go, though, hm?”
Eddie stood, quickly tugged his jeans up but left them unbuttoned, and followed close behind as you led him up the stairs, his hand warm in yours. You could feel his body heat radiating, could hear his shallow breathing as he attempted to even it out, and you were secretly satisfied to know that you had such an impact on him.
Even more, however, you were thrilled to know that you were only moments away from getting what you wanted.
With quick steps, you tugged him down the hall and into your bedroom, pulling the door shut behind you as you entered. Once inside, Eddie paused for a moment to take in the sight.
“You know, I was expecting a Tom Cruise poster,” he teased, laughing only slightly when instead he saw Nikki Sixx.
“What can I say? I’ve got a thing for pretty, dark-haired metalheads.”
A smirk quirked his mouth as he tugged you close, hands falling to your waist as he dipped his head to capture your lips. The kiss was eager, uncoordinated and messy but breathtaking as his hands began to wander. Deft fingers flitted to the button of your jeans, and after a moment of hesitation, popped them open.
“If you want to stop, we can,” he reminded you, fingers ghosting along the sliver of skin just above your jeans. “We totally don’t have to do this.”
“You’re incredibly sweet, Eds.” You wrapped your arms around his neck, hands drifting to his hair to tug at the curls as you met his gaze. “But if you don’t fuck me, I might cry and I don’t feel like crying tonight.”
Eddie grinned, glad you were as eager as he was, and hummed as his fingers began to drift lower. “Can’t have you crying on my watch, princess. ‘Less they’re good, ‘I totally fucked you stupid’ tears.”
“I mean, if you’re up to the challenge, then by all means.”
Though it might’ve been the wrong thing to say, a taunt you would later regret, he took the challenge for what it was worth. There was a determined glint in his eyes, a burning desire that tied your stomach in knots, and it was burned into your field of view as he pressed his mouth to yours once more.
For a moment, you weren’t certain which sensation to focus on as Eddie’s tongue licked at the seam of your lips and his fingers ghosted over the cotton of your panties. However, he drew your full, undivided attention as he nudged the fabric aside and swiped his fingers through your slick folds.
A hum of encouragement met your ears as Eddie coated his fingers in your slick, teasing for just a moment before he found the sensitive bundle of nerves. With his lips a fraction of an inch from yours, he asked, “This all from blowing me?”
It was incredulous, almost as if he couldn’t believe it, but you hummed. “Thought about it for ages. Reality was better.”
“Don’t think I’ll last long enough to return the favor right now,” he confessed, breath fanning across your lips as he rubbed lazy circles over the bundle of nerves, “but I’ve gotta taste you before tonight’s over. Got myself off so many times thinking about it, ‘bout you.”
Eddie grinned at the moan you released, at the way you sagged against him - unable to hold yourself entirely upright with the promise of him between your thighs, the thought of him touching himself to that image. “You sure you’re not trying to kill me?”
“What a way to go.” He lingered, just for a second, before Eddie pulled away and shushed your whine with a press of his mouth to yours. “I’m gonna come in my jeans if I don’t get inside you soon, princess. Promise to take my time with you later. Gonna give you everything you deserve, treat you right.”
“Ditto.” He laughed, amused and flattered in equal measure, as he began to tug at his clothes. Encouraged, you followed suit and, soon enough, a pile of garments littered your bedroom floor.
However, neither of you dwelled on the sight for long as you headed for the bed, stopping only to retrieve a foil packet from the bedside drawer.
Every dream encounter you shared with Eddie varied - sometimes he was soft, other times he manhandled you exactly the way you wanted; sometimes he was quick, others he teased for hours - but nothing lived up to the reality of having him climb into your bed after you.
This encounter would be quick and dirty, a desperate search for relief, but you knew that it was only the first of many. And, encouraged by the future that now seemed so clear, you reached out and tugged him into you.
Lithe arms braced themselves at either side of your head, tattoos stark against his pale skin, and you hummed as you decided you would someday spend as much time as he’d allow you committing them to memory. But that could wait. For now, you simply savored the weight of him above you and tangled your fingers in his hair as he positioned himself at your entrance.
“Haven’t even gotten inside and I already can’t wait to do this again,” he confessed, dipping his head to nip at the hinge of your jaw. “And again. And again. I’m already ruined for you, princess.”
Before you could confess the same sentiment, admit your utter ruin at his hands, he pressed his hips forward and began to sink into you. The stretch was bearable, a tinge of discomfort completely overshadowed by the warmth of his skin against yours - the weight of his body pressed to yours, the nip of his teeth at your jaw - and you inhaled sharply at the feeling.
Eddie stilled for a few long moments, hands stroking at whatever skin he could reach - your hips, your thighs, your stomach - as he breathed reverent nonsense. The words blurred, compliments and awed whispers of how good you felt, but it paled in comparison to the moan he released when you yanked at his curls and begged for him to finally move.
The pace he set was blistering, deep and quick and perfect, and you marveled at how right his touch felt. Every snap of his hips, every brush of his mouth against your skin, every whispered word of praise; it felt as if each was a puzzle piece, suddenly falling into place.
Though he took great care to ensure your pleasure, he made no attempt to treat you like a doll, like something that might shatter beneath his touch, and you were grateful for the heavy press of his hands to your skin as he pawed at your thighs. Almost immediately, you understood one another - both quickly fell into step beside one another - and you felt the flames he’d been fanning begin to grow out of control.
Heat engulfed you, body burning with every swipe of his fingers and snap of his hips, and it grew harder to draw your breath as his fingers found your clit. Eddie nipped at your jaw, breath fanning over your skin and sending goosebumps erupting, as he encouraged, “Come for me, princess. Wanna feel you.”
With anyone else, you might’ve been embarrassed at how quickly you barreled toward your release - at how eager you were to give in and come just because he asked - but this was Eddie. Anything he wanted, you would at least consider, and your body knew it well. So with a few swipes of his fingers and another snap of his hips, you barreled over the edge with a cry of his name.
Almost immediately, as if he’d been waiting for you, he followed suit. One, two, three snaps of his hips before he buried his face in the crook of your neck and came with a moan that you knew would play on a loop in your happiest of dreams. 
For a few moments after, you both lay still - Eddie with his head buried in the crook of your neck, hands still stroking your heated skin; you, with your eyes shut and lips parted as you caught your breath, fingers raking through his curls. It was blissful, a moment you’d dreamt about, but the dream was interrupted by reality as discomfort began to set in.
When you began to squirm, Eddie quickly pulled away - pulled out and cooed when you whimpered at the loss - and tossed the used condom into the bin beside your bed before returning to lay beside you. He pulled you close, wrapped his arms around you and tugged you into his chest, and you both lay in silence for a long moment before he spoke.
“So, you wanna actually watch those movies now?”
With a laugh, you tipped your head and buried your face in the crook of his neck. “Mm. Give me a minute. Gotta return to the land of the living first.”
“Take your time, princess. When you do, though, maybe you can return as my girlfriend.”
Eddie could almost certainly feel your smile, grin bright and happy as you hummed against his skin. “Yeah,” you agreed easily, not bothering to hide the giddiness you felt, “I think that can be arranged.”
Though it wasn’t how you pictured your evening, you knew it was better than anything you could’ve imagined. And, while Steve would be annoying, you couldn’t wait to venture back into the world with your boyfriend by your side.

a moment everybody knows | Aemond Targaryen x Velaryon!Reader
summary: after leaving King's Landing, your life changed completely. Now you were in a new city with your child. But for how long would you be able to hide from your past?
word count: 12k, yup... bear with me ok?
warnings: +18 MDNI, darkish Aemond, smut, violence, a few curse words, mentions of death and childbirth.
divider: @cafekitsune
part two of: how long can we be a sag song?
Tumblr media
You could still remember the salty smell of the high waves colliding with Driftmarks castle. You could feel the humidity of the changes. You still remember how the sweat ran all over your body as you screamed - begged, the maester to take the babe out of you. It has been hours and still you were being told to keep pushing. It was agonizing. You felt your body weaken at each passing minute.
The darkish walls and the candlelight did nothing to soothe the fear you felt during the labor hours. It was only when your mother's trembling voice spoke up in a small prayer to the Gods, that you felt the pressure in your lower body cease as your child was being picked by one of the midwives. A boy they said. 
You had a son.
Tumblr media
It has been three years since you gave birth to your son, Vaelon Velaryon. Two years and thirty six weeks since you left Driftmark and Westeros behind with only your son and as much gold as your brother could make you carry. He was giving you the opportunity of raising your child away from the war that kept growing and taking more and more with it. That was the greatest act of love he could've bestowed you with.
Your brother was the only one that knew of your short residency in Pentos. Last you had heard, the Prince Regent was still expecting you to return to King's Landing after birthing your son. But how could you? Knowing she would be there? And if you were honest, you did not want to see Aemond ever again. Even if you had loved him, you loved your child and yourself more. And every time you thought of the love you once felt for the Targaryen prince, your brother's words would ring in your ears: ‘Love is not permanent. Nor is it guaranteed. It's something that you learn to do every day. Don't let the idea that love should be resilient keep you stuck on the thoughts of could've been. If there is doubt, there isn't love. Loving is being certain of it but also knowing it is not forever.’
It took him five days since your arrival to Pentos to send you the letters, one with the Velaryon seal and the other one with the Targaryen seal. 
A letter from Aegon.
His handwriting was messy, but still very readable. Just as you remembered. 
"My dearest, Y/N
The Keep's walls have lost some of its warmth since your departure. Mother hardly smiles anymore and Grandsire became even more harsh. Aemond didn't stay long after you left, even if he was upset with the fact that you fled with the babe. The witch-whore managed to get him back to Harrenhal with her four days ago, but Ser Criston was tasked with bringing him back. 
I understand the babe must have been born already. I really would like to know if it's a nephew or a niece. At least I hope they take after their caring and gentle mother. 
You, my dear friend, showed me more kindness in the years we shared than any other could. The one acquaintance that never expected more of me than I had to offer. I miss you dearly. You will always be the best friend I could have. 
As a last attempt to repay some of the kindness you've shown me, I had your marriage to my brother annulled by the High Septon in Oldtown. Mother and Grandsire accepted it, of course. And even if they didn't, it's not like they would be able to go against my word. Being the King grants me that. 
I hope wherever you are, you get to have a good life and that your child grows to see the amazing parent they have. And even though I am not a devout man, I will pray to the Maiden that you find a love like the one you showed my brother. 
Hopefully we'll meet again, 
Aegon II Targaryen”
The tears streamed down your face as you read the words written on the piece of parchment. He granted your freedom again. He gave you the lawful right to be your own again and have no connection to his traitorous brother. How deeply you cared for Aegon. You held the letters close to your chest as, in a silent prayer, you asked for the Gods old and new to grant your dearest friend the victory and long years as king. 
Hopefully someday you'd meet again. 
Tumblr media
That letter was the last you heard from anyone in King's Landing and Driftmark. You knew that Pentos would be the obvious option, so you had to go even further away. So getting into another boat, with the little belonging you had and your son safely tucked in your arms, was not a hard choice. It took you almost six nights to reach the final destination that the boat you were in was headed to. You asked to be taken as far as they could and one Gold Dragon guaranteed that your wish would be fulfilled. 
And the moment the ship reached the bay in Volantis, you knew that it was going to be your home. The weather was pleasing and the people you've grown to surround yourself with were nice - mostly elderly people. They were very happy when you and Vaelon arrived because it has been a while since a babe has been in the village as the younger couples preferred the other part of the city to move into and start a family.
Vaelon was your pride and joy at only three. He was the most beautiful babe you had ever seen and you doubted you'd seen any other as beautiful, but that is a mother's perception. He had a skin complexion that was slightly lighter than yours, a small rounded nose, the way his eyes would almost disappear as he laughed, and his chubby cheeks. He was more similar to you than many would've thought, although there were things that you could not deny that were very likely from his father. The white curling hair that grew on his head, the perfectly shaped lips, and the lilac eyes could never make you forget, even if you tried. Those traits would be a sign that he was also Aemond Targaryen's son. 
Living in Volantis was way easier than Westeros. Obviously, here you couldn't bask in the lavish life that your House used to offer you, but life here was pleasant. Stable and calm. All of the things you wished for while you were there. In the years you've been here, not once have you witnessed brutal acts of violence or cruelty going unpunished. They would become the gossip of town and the guilty ones would always pay for their sins, being a Prince here would not save you from murdering a man in cold blood. 
The lady that lived down the road was a sweetheart and, at least once a week, you would go there and have tea with her while Vaelon played with her cat. She would also watch him if you needed to go to the street markets and bringing him was not an option, but those were rare occasions. 
Living away from Westeros also made you more careful with how much you were spending. The small cottage-like house you purchased, cost you a third of the amount of Gold Dragons your brother gave you. You still managed to get most of the jewelry you owned to bring with you. You had to make sure you and your son would be taken care of for as long as possible, and considering the differences in economy from King's Landing, you were sure you still had a few years before worrying about that. 
The chirping of the birds outside told you that today would be a hotter day than the one before, which you were expecting and it was a good thing since you needed to tend to the garden and go to the small market in the city. Being on your own you had to learn to do things by yourself. You didn't have a servant to tend to your needs. So every time you saw a red tomato in your backyard, you got a huge satisfaction from seeing your hard work thriving.
Vaelon was still asleep on the small bed beside yours, he held a wooden horse he was gifted on his first name day by one of your neighbors, a widow named Kornan Frontell. He was a surprise in your life. With his strong and masculine front, one would think that he would not waste his time with the single mother who moved in recently. But he was kind and understanding. The pains regarding marriage that the two of you went through were opposite of one another. Where he was a loving and dedicated husband to his wife, yours were a cheating and cunning one. He admitted that in the years following his wife's death, he decided to take no wife until his heart was healed.
It was inevitable for the two of you to get close. He would always make sure to go to the markets with you, so he could help you with the heavy bags, he'd always make sure to cut double the amount of wood so you could have them ready for your fireplace on winter nights, he would tend to any repair you needed in the house. But the most important thing to you was how he treated Vaelon as if he was the only thing in this world that must've been protected.
It made you feel safe having Kornan around. Knowing that somehow your son had someone he could look up to as he grew up. As for yourself, the closeness the both of you shared soon enough turned into something else. In the blink of an eye, the days became shorter and nights were slightly longer. Koren wouldn't return to his home every day after having dinner with the both of you. One or too many cups of wine would ensure that both of you had trouble keeping your hands to yourselves. 
It was a rainy night, one as you hadn't seen in a while and he had just finished helping out with putting Vaelon to bed when you told him he shouldn't go out in the rain and that he could stay for the night. He was standing near the fireplace as you stopped in front of him and, as if an invisible magnetic field was pulling you in, you leaned in for the first touch. 
You will never forget the look in his eyes, how much adoration and lust he felt for you. Something you had never seen before. So you allowed yourself to drown in his touches, standing on your toes so you could reach his lips. His kiss was calm and soft, something you hadn't felt before. Kornan was warm and accepting of your wandering hands on the extension of his exposed skin. 
The kiss turned into a hungry dispute in a mere second. As one of his hands held your face, the other went lower on your back and you felt him undoing the laces on the bodice of your dress. 
That was the first of many nights where the both of you would share the same bed and passion to wake up in the bliss of what happened during the late hours of the night.
Tumblr media
It was nearing the end of the year, so the fairs had more people than they usually did. Merchants and buyers could be heard discussing prices and offers for the newest fabrics coming from Pentos and the grains shipped from Essos. You could feel the heat getting to you as you walked through the tents and tried to get the best supplies your eyes could reach: two bags of flour, some salt, a new yellow spice, a piece of ginger, a bottle of milk, potatoes and anything that came to your mind. 
Vaelon was attached to your hip as you tried to pay attention to good sales and see what else spiked your interest, you had bought him a piece of sweetened bread that he was munching on as his curious eyes traveled from side to side. 
"What is this pretty lady with the most handsome boy doing in such a crowded place?" The giggle that followed it made you turn around to stare at the man.
"The pretty lady and this heavy boy are trying to get some goods to stock for the next few weeks," You say, with a smile, as you look into his blue eyes. 
He was close enough so that you could smell the salt from the sea in his clothes, also a slight tone of the oils he used on his bath in the mornings. His slightly calloused hand brushed a falling curl away from your face and as he caressed your cheek with a gentle smile on his face. 
"Hi," he said looking into your eyes, as his hand kept its contact with your face. 
"Hi," you whispered back with a smile of your own. 
If there was one thing about Kornan, it was how beautiful he was. Tall, muscled and strong, long brown hair and a perfectly sculpted face, with the most beautiful smile. He always made you breathless when you looked at him in the early mornings as his bare body was pressed to yours. His voice was deep, but not too much and he had a habit of speaking almost like he was singing: very slow and enunciate letter by letter in each word. He simply amazed you. 
He chuckled and leaned down to press a kiss to your temple and when he backed up, he pulled Vaelon to his arms, to which you mouthed a "thank you". 
"Looks like they are trying to sell everything today. I heard some saying that we might get a storm in a day or so," you say as you get back to walking knowing he's following close behind.
"I don't doubt it," He declares. "I've been by the pier this morning and the tide is turning, almost taking the coast. Looks like the sea is angry."
"I see..." You say as a shiver runs down your spine, and apologize to a lady that you had bumped into. "Well I guess I'll have to think of new ways to distract Vae if that indeed happens. He'll get stressed from staying inside for too long."
"I could also stay over and help you with him," he said as if it was the most obvious thing, as a boyish smile painted his lips and he popped a grape into his mouth. "It's good because I could take the chopped wood I have over and I would not have to cut more and if something happens I would be there to take care of you both."
"Like what could happen, hm?" You ask with a teasing smile as you turn to him. "A crazy man could take the opportunity to invade the house and Vae and I would be defenseless?"
He smiles as he takes a step closer to where you were standing and places his free hand on the curve of your waist.
"Oh, no one in this damned city would dare to do such a thing. They know I would be after them like a bloody hound." He leans down and finally claims your lips with his as one of your hands takes place on the back of his neck. 
"Okay, as if I could ever say no to you." You agree once he breaks the kiss and your eyes go to your son, who now has his head resting on the man's strong shoulder. "I guess I should get going. If he sleeps too much you know how he'll get later. I'll see you tonight?" 
"Tonight it is, my lady" He smiles as he carefully returns your son to your arms and kisses your forehead.
Walking home felt odd, for some reason. You have had a weird feeling in your gut ever since hearing Kornan's words: Looks like the sea is angry. Your father would always say that the Sea would always side with Velaryons and warn them of the dangers that could be ahead. It has been long gone since you thought of the traditions of your Westerosi House. But still, no matter where you went Velaryon blood would always be a part of you and the gods would not forsake one of their children. 
Tumblr media
"Oh, no, you little pest" you laughed as you went after your son that was running towards your front door. "Vaelon, you can't do that to your mother," you said to which he just laughed making your heart melt. 
"But is nanas, mama" he said slowly as he held the fruits in his little arms. "Vaelon love nanas" 
"Yes, my love, but if you eat all of them, you'll get sick. And the green monster will come to you." You said as you pushed the door to let him in. 
"But can I hwave one?" He asks as he looks up at you with his big bright lilac eyes. 
"Okay, one. Is a deal." You say finally giving in and he gives you back the pack of ripe bananas. "But only aft-" You begin to say but you get cut off mid-sentence. 
Your blood is frozen and the only thought running through your mind was "get Vaelon and run as fast as you can." However, the only thing you can do is put yourself in front of your son and make yourself a barrier between your child and him. 
"Volantis is a distant place, wife."
His voice is deeper than what you remembered. Sharp as a knife and as painful as a severed limb. He stands tall in your living room. His hands behind his back, eye-patch removed, wearing all black, hair tied back as you remembered. It felt like a nightmare. You were getting dizzy, but the only thing you could think was your son behind you ignorant of what was happening in his home. 
"What are you doing here?" You ask, trying to keep your shaky voice clear and ignore your drumming heart, as you stare him down. 
He does not answer you, but takes two steps closer until he is standing under the doorway for your kitchen. He smelled like ash and smoke, he obviously came on Dragonback. It has been so long since you smelt this scent. 
"Hm," He looks at you from head to toe and moves slightly to the side trying to get a glimpse of the child you were hiding behind your skirt. "Who was that man holding my child?" 
So this was the odd feeling in your gut. You were being watched and didn't even realize it. He now knew where you lived, how your son looked and also the people around you. 
Where in the Seven Hells have you thought you would ever see Aemond Targaryen again? 
"How did you find me?" You ignore his question, as you feel Vaelon's tiny hands clutching to the back of your skirt. 
"It wasn't an easy task. No one knew where you had disappeared to," He admits, as he walks to stand less than three feet away from you. "So I sent spies to the cities. All of them except this one. I admit it was a fault of mine. I could never think you would raise our child in a place like this," he looks around with disgust and suddenly you have the same sensation of feeling small again. "But imagine my surprise when I find out that you had indeed moved to such a place."
The feeling of his eye on you does not appease the uneasiness you are feeling. How long were you being watched? For how long did he know? What would he do now? 
"I decided to be generous and let you live this made up life for a while as I still had matters to attend to for the realm," Aemonds voice is calm and collected, but his touch is cold and you hated the way his fingers felt on your wrist. "But now the time has come for me to get my wife and son back to where they belong."
"I am no longer your wife. The marriage was annulled when I left," You push the words out of your lips as you look into his eye. "Aegon had the High Septon granting me that."
"Haven't you heard?" He scoffs at your words, "Aegon is no longer King, hasn't been since he succumbed to his injuries."
The room was spinning and you were afraid you were going to black out at any minute. How so? You had prayed many nights for your good friend to have a long rule and now this? Your friend was now an acquaintance of the Stranger and you would not be able to fulfill the silent promise made between the both of you. Hopefully we'll meet again someday.
"Why should I believe you?" You inquire with a tear running down your face, when his hand touches your chin making you look at him once more.
"Because it is not fit for a King to lie to his Queen," the sinister smile painting his lips scares you. 
You do not know this Aemond.
"Where is your mistress? Grown tired of her?"
"Oh that," He chuckles as if your question brought him some sort of amusement. "Would you believe that my Grandsire had her poisoned? She went into her labor too early and neither of them made it. Just like Tyanna of Pentos did to Maegor's wives." He shakes his head in dismissal as if he had not mentioned one of the gratestes terrors that could ever happen to a woman carrying a child. 
His words sent a shock through your body. You did not like Alys, still you had to admit that she and her child had a terrible end. But you can't bring yourself to say anything. Her demise was shocking, but nothing that made you feel sorrow or sadness. She had just turned into another crossed name on the list of the living.
"I am not returning to King's Landing," You hear yourself saying, in a whisper. 
"You really think there is a choice? I will burn this city down if you don't return with me and then I will burn all the cities around just to make sure you won't have anywhere to run off to." His voice is slow and deep as he holds your face with one of his big, cold hands.
"Aegon was stupid to request that annulment. In my eyes you were always my wife and you'll always be. Alys was there when I needed her, but she would never be the woman I chose to marry or carry my lawful son." Aemond's grip on your face slightly tightens. "Now can you imagine my surprise, I come to find my wife and I see that she has been whoring herself to a common man and letting him touch what's rightfully mine?" He whispers in your ear.
"Mama, can I go?" Your son's trembling voice takes you out of the shock you were in and you put some distance between Aemond and yourself. 
"Oh my heart, come here" You pick him up in your arms and he automatically hides his face on your neck, and you hear his small voice in your ear: "I'm scared". 
Your son is scared. You are scared.
"Nothing here is yours, Aemond. Aegon was the King when he had it annulled so his words were law," You walk past him. "I no longer carry the name Targaryen and neither does my son. I wish you my deepest condolences on her death, but you cannot show up and place a claim on us that you no longer have," you state once you reach the wood crib your son sleeps in. 
"I had not known you to be foolish, wife" He says with his face stoic as he silently scrutinizes the distance you put between the both of you. "Isn't it obvious that I had the High Septon destroy any proof of that annulment? So, lawfully the only register with your name and mine is our marriage."
"And do you think that matters? Everyone in my House and yours knows the truth! Many lords must be aware of them too," you say looking at him again. "You're making a fool out of yourself, Aemond. Sending spies and coming all the way to where I live just to torment me and my son."
You barely had time to register his next movement, and if Vaelon was still in your arms he would be pressed between his body and yours. Your head collided with the wall in a notary 'thud' and Aemond had his hand on your neck as the tip of his nose touched your cheek. Your heart was racing and his hold on you, made it harder to breathe. The only thing keeping you conscious was the shrieking cries of your son. 
"You left. After everything, you left me," His voice drips with poison as his words leave his lips. "And not only that, you left while carrying my child. Did you really not think that I wouldn't go to the pits of hell to find you both?" 
All that you can think of is crying and letting the helplessness drown you. What could you do to get out of this situation? You had never prayed for a life like you built in Volantis, but that did not mean that you didn't learn to love it. And now all of it was crumbling beneath your feet because Aemond showed up unannounced? 
"Why is it that you're looking at my mistakes instead of your own?" You manage to say as your grip on his wrist makes his hold slightly falter. "Have you not thought that if you hadn't taken a bed mate none of this wouldn't have happened?" 
"I have made peace with my wrongdoings and I've paid for it with the life of a son. But too much has been taken from me and I won't allow anything else to go down the same path. So I suggest you pack up whatever you have worth here, and join me. Or everything will burn."
Vaelon's incessant cries kept on bathing the dense room and all you wanted was to scoop him up and leave. His hand on your skin left a mourning feeling that made you sick to your stomach. You just kept on praying that this was a terrible dream that would end soon. You were not ready to lose the life you had so carefully created for yourself and your son. You could not let Vaelon get accustomed to Aemond because you knew his influence could affect your son to no repair. It has happened before in his bloodline and it could happen again. 
"What is happening here?" You have never been this terrified to hear Kornan's voice in your life. 
You didn't even see him coming in. You only saw him now as he stood a few feet away from where you were. He was holding the ax he used to chop the wood and he looked at you trying to understand what was happening in front of his eyes. The woman he loved and the boy he treated as his own, at the mercy of this unknown man. 
"Get Vaelon and leave," You said looking over Aemond's shoulder to meet the man's wide blue eyes. 
"My son is not going anywhere with that cunt," He warned as his lip brushed against your cheek, and he pressed you further between the wall and his body. 
"Kornan, listen to me, just get him and go. Please," your pleading, wet eyes met his blue orbs and you could see how lost he was. "Just get Vae-," your words died in your throat the moment you felt his hand applying more pressure on your throat.
"Are you not hearing, wife? If he touches my son, I'll return on dragonback and I will break every peace treaty that has been ever made to this land. I will burn everything in my sight until there is nothing but ashes," his threat fell on your ears but you couldn't help but keep trying. 
"Aemond, please" you said as your tears ran freely down your cheeks. "I'll do whatever you want, just spare them. I'll return to King's Landing with you and give you as many heirs as you want."
He looked at you as if he was pondering your request. As if he'd grant your wish. But deep down you knew he wouldn't, he just wanted to see the sliver of hope in your eyes. The glimmer of the gemstone he used to replace his eye gave him a look that once you would consider beautiful, but now all you could see was this person being held by his own madness. 
"I already have my heir and my Queen," He looked straight into your eyes as the words left his lips. 
"Let her go and we can deal with this as men", Kornan said as he walked closer to you, to which Aemond only smirked and looked at him. 
You couldn't let that happen. Aemond was the greatest swordsman in the Realm and you knew he wouldn't show him any mercy if they dueled against each other. 
"Kornan, no! It's fine, I am alright. Please don't do anything," your trembling voice pushed through your lips as you looked at the brunette. 
You knew you were saying that more to yourself than to him. There was no hope anymore. You knew your former husband would not hesitate to make true his word and use his Conqueror Dragon to turn this place into ruins of bone and ash. 
"You have one hour, wife," Aemond said, ignoring the man's words. 
Tumblr media
It had been years since you felt so miserable and out of place. Kings Landing now felt cold and humid everywhere you went. The bright sun in the sky or the warm breeze did nothing to appease the shivers on your skin. Everything felt so grim and dead. The Red Keep had become the worst place of all. So quiet and dark. You had to admit that even in your younger days it wasn't the brightest place to be in, but now it just seemed dead. As everything else did. 
Three weeks since your unwilling return to this city and to the shadow of the life you used to have here. Aemond sat the Throne now. Alicent now always could be found hiding by the curtains whenever she was around for council meetings or forced suppers. Alicent and Aemond were all that was left from the Targaryen and Hightower union. Aemond had no contestants to his claim to the Iron Throne. Vaelon would ascend to it after his death. Your son would be his legacy.
At least Vaelon seemed to enjoy the lavish life he had here. Aemond did not measure efforts to make sure he had anything and everything he ever wanted, he even made sure that one of the remaining dragon eggs was placed by his bedside, in hopes it would hatch. 
You couldn't deny how much it warmed your heart seeing your son gain a part of his identity and of who he was, but the thing that made you feel like you were stuck in a claustrophobic dream, was the fact that Aemond was so different now and it scared you to think of how much it could impact on your sweet boy. 
Today the Keep was as quiet as it usually is, only the footsteps from the servants and knights could be heard near the heavy mahogany door that separated you and Vaelon from the outside noise. Alicent was sitting beside you as you both watched your son playing with the toys Aemond had gotten for him. 
"It's like I barely recognize him anymore," you heard her quivering voice say. "So much has changed and so much has been lost. I fear he never returned from that last encounter he had with Daemon after not meeting him in Gods Eye, he never talks about it. It's like he became this vessel of himself."
It didn't take you much to realize she was speaking of her remaining child. The only one who survived the war. Ever since your return, Alicent looked so fragile and weak. As if she was holding on by a thread. At least for the first two days before she met Vaelon, after seeing him and spending time with him, it seemed like a slight breeze of life had graced her, just enough to make the color return to her face. 
"We have the throne... But at what cost? The lords abide by Aemond and Oldtown is restoring its glory, but the cost of it was losing everything," her eyes filled with water as she wrapped her arms around herself and her shaky voice passed through her lips. "I love my son. But I miss who he was. I miss all of them all the time."
Your heart was tight with her words. You had not stopped to think about it with her point of view. She lost three of her children and her three of her grandchildren to terrible deaths. You knew how desperate you were when your son would fall sick, so you couldn't even think of how she actually felt to see hers die. Daeron was barely six-and-ten when he died in Tumbleton. You couldn't judge her for how she acted these days. You wouldn't be much different if something happened to Vaelon. 
"Sometimes I like to think where we would all be if none of that had happened. If Viserys saw what his decisions were causing. Or heard the council when he still declared Rhaenyra as his heir after Aegon's birth. Maybe if he changed his mind when Aegon was young, all of this could be different," You sigh as the words leave your mouth. "Or maybe if Rhaenyra tried being close to her siblings..."
"I had spent too much time trying to look for someone to blame in all of this. I have my own mistakes and they haunt me. Today I know that no matter the outcome, this war could not be avoided." She confesses.
"And yet this is our life, and us women are burdened with carrying it on as if it was just a passing season. The whispers in the halls can be heard from a mile. 'Why do they look so miserable when it was the men that fought for them who died'." You hear yourself saying as you put down the sketchbook you had in your hand. "I tried making a life for myself and for him when I left. At first it was because I knew that she would be here and her son too. But soon, Aemond and that life were away from my thoughts. I only cared about doing the best I could for him and I was content. It wasn't bathed in luxury, still it was good enough. But you can never truly escape war. It would catch up to us soon or late. At least I am glad I had the chance to have him as my little son and not his father's heir as he is going to be known for the end of his days."
The small noises the clatter of the toys Vaelon was playing filled the silence that tried to force its way into the room. The dark and heavy curtains by the windows hid the dark sky and raindrops from the outside. The night has fallen a few hours ago and you knew that soon enough Vaelon would be sleepy. Moments like these were the only ones where you could fool yourself into a false sense of normalcy and try hard enough to pretend that this was still your cottage in Volantis. You could pretend not to see the silver candelabra on the bedside table, or the silk sheets, the tapestry. You tried to ignore everything that made his room here too different from what you left behind. 
Although you did wish you had left one more thing there. More like a person. As some kind of disturbing torture, Aemond brought Kornan to Westeros. He was now part of the guards of the keep. He was mostly tasked with keeping Vaelon safe. This disturbed you to no end. You knew Aemond was aware of your involvement with Kornan and the latter had even challenged him into a duel that was not accepted, so you knew that he did this to humiliate Kornan. 
Here Aemond was the higher authority and to challenge his word meant death or much worse. You knew that this was also some kind of punishment towards you. He was rubbing in your face how he could control those around you as well. Make you bend to his wishes. Aemond wasn't a fool. He knew you wouldn't try to do anything with Kornan since it would risk his life. 
"He is too close with that knight'", Alicent's voice dragged your attention. "His sworn protector."
You purse your lips as you try to swallow the lump that has formed in your throat. 
"Kornan has been a part of his life since he was a babe. He's all he has ever known." You declare as you look at your son noticing how his hair was shining under the orange shadows of the fireside. 
"That's dangerous," she warned. "I might have been the only one to have noticed it so far and I do not wish to endanger the good ser, but this can raise fallacies in the court."
Her words sunk into your thoughts and for a second you asked yourself what would you do if that happened? It was undeniable that your son was Aemond's, you left this keep very much pregnant years ago. But still, how dormant were the forces that supported the Blacks that they couldn't start to raise lies again?
"I'll see to it." You say even if you find yourself with no ideas on where to start. 
Tumblr media
Vaelon was almost falling asleep in your arms when Aemond entered the room. He was suckling from his little thumb while his other hand curled the end of your hair. 
"Mama, can I go with Papa?" You hear his soft voice whisper in your ear as he raises his hand and points at Kornan, completely ignoring Aemond's presence. 
His innocent words made the whole room freeze. You couldn't say a word and Kornan was just as pale as you might be. Yet, it was Aemonds gaze that made shivers run down your spine. It was like you forgot how to breathe as you were suddenly on the verge of a panic attack. 
You could count the seconds the Targaryen man took to watch you with eyes as dark as the night sky and his angular face as hard as the sculpture of the Father. There was no way you could ever wonder what was going through his mind. He didn't even bother looking at the child in your arms or anything else. His eyes were locked in your shivering figure as you kept over thinking on the outcome of this situation. This was not good. Not good at all. Aemond was a proud man. Too proud to be good and there isn't a world where having his son regard another man as his father, that he wouldn't lash out somehow.
"Ser Kornan, please go fetch a wet nurse," with your limbs feeling like jelly, you managed the rushed words out of your mouth. 
You held your son closer to your chest as you watched him excuse himself. The taste of fear lingered in your lips as you found yourself alone with Aemond, at least you had managed to get Kornan away from him for now. 
Aemond walked closer to you with his posture more relaxed now that you were alone. It was almost as if nothing had happened. You could even notice a spark in his eye now. 
"You know I try my best, dear wife. You lack nothing, my son has everything he would ever ask for, and yet is another man he sees as his father," His hand caresses your face with a soft touch as his thumb traces your lower lip in some sort of affectionate gesture. 
"He has known Kornan for a long time, lord husband. Tis naught but a habit." You say avoiding your dry throat and labored breath, as his touch involuntarily makes your face heat up. 
"And whose fault is that? I know you did not mean for that when you first left, but it is something that happened nonetheless."
A chuckle with no true humor leaves his lips as he stands in front of you and drops his hand to lightly run his fingers on the boy's head. That is the only moment his eye leave your figure and you see a flicker of warmth in it. 
"It's best if this doesn't happen again. I have been kind enough to not separate you completely from that peasant, but I will not hesitate to end this nonsense if this becomes a reoccurrence."
Although his voice is now soft and warmer, you do not miss the crystal clear threat placed on his words. 
"And it's best if we pray to the Mother that his seed has not taken while you bedded him," he kisses your forehead and leaves the room. 
Tumblr media
To say you were desperate would be an understatement. You knew that Kornan was not safe here and you had to find a way to protect him. He would never be safe under the same roof as Aemond and you would never forgive yourself if anything happened to him. That leads you to this very moment. With a cloak over your head and the more ordinary clothes you could find, you guided him through one of the many passageways that would lead directly to Flea Bottom. 
"We don't have much time and my absence will soon be noticed," you begin as you turn to him and watch him with the clothes he arrived in King's Landing. His clothes that you were so used to. How beautiful he looked. "You have to leave. I can't protect you while you're here."
"I will not leave you and Vaelon," He argues as his hand holds yours. 
"Aemond will not take this for much longer. He probably has some plot in his head as we speak. What happened today might have triggered that. I can't have him doing something to you." Your eyes are filled with tears as you look down at your joined hands. "Please, Kornan, let me protect you this one time."
The silence lingers between the two of you, only the sounds of the wind can be heard. 
"Back in Volantis, under Vaelon's crib, you can find everything I took with me when I left Driftmark. There is enough coins and jewelry that can last you for a while."
You say as you see some resistance in his ocean blue eyes. There wasn't much you could do for Kornan here, but if you managed to get him away from Aemonds wrath that should give him a chance to get his life back away from this cursed place. 
"We know there is no chance for me to return home anymore," you shake your head as you look into his eyes and your heart burns in your chest. 
Why did you feel so much pain every time you loved someone? 
"I can still stay and at least be near. There is nothing in Volantis for me if you and him aren't there," He declares as his hand caresses your left cheek and wipes away a tear. 
"I'm so sorry I brought you into this mess," you cry as he pulls you into an embrace. 
"I do not regret a moment that we've had together. You and Vaelon showed me that life is still worth living," He smiles as tears fill his eyes as well. "I just wish that we could've lived our life together longer."
You pull away from him and take out the silver ring in your finger, the thin band was shaped as a seahorse with a blue gemstone in its eye. The one piece of jewelry you had never given up, even while in Volantis. Your father gave it to you on your seven-and-ten name day. A clear symbol of your house. 
"Give this to any boat man wearing blue or gray by the bay. Tell them that you have the Queen's protection and that you are a friend of house Velaryon," You place the jewel in his calloused hand along with a few Gold Dragons. "You must go now. I cannot stay for longer."
This time you avoid looking in his eye as you close your hand around his keeping the possessions there. You would not be strong enough if the image of him kept on plaguing your thoughts like this. 
The tears that now freely roamed your face, soon we're getting your collarbones wet. His free hand cradles your face as he presses a bittersweet kiss to your forehead. A kiss that lasts for more seconds than it should, and yet you prayed that it could last longer. 
"Thank you for the years you shared with my son and I. Those were the best ones I could have. You showed me a life I could only ever dream of."
The words were out of your mouth before you could even think. You knew you had to say them at least once, there wouldn't be another chance. Kornan has indeed been one of the best things that ever happened to you since you left. He showed you what a family could actually be and he was a friend you did not know you needed but became a constant in your life.
You would miss him, but his safety was more important than your feelings. And you knew that he would never be safe as long as him and Aemond breathed the same air. 
"I will miss you, my lady. And everything that we could've been," He rests his forehead in yours with his eyes closed. "And I will miss the little pest too," He chuckles through his tears, which makes you laugh too. 
Soon he has his back turned to you as you watch him leave. 
Tumblr media
It has been a moon's time since you managed to sneak Kornan out of the Keep. And surprisingly Aemond has not said a word about it or even asked questions. He was the King now and that came with many more responsibilities as one could ever think, so he did not waste his time to worry about Kornan's whereabouts. 
It didn't fail to amaze you how well he wore the crown and how he did his best to restore King's Landing to what it was before the war. He dropped the insanely high taxes that Lord Celtigar had pressed on the people, was managing the crown's money to fix some of the roads and doing good trades with many of the cities nearby to ensure that the people wouldn't starve again. 
Seemed like on the days that followed the happenstance in Vaelon's bedroom, Aemond started spending more time with his son. Possibly with Kornan's absence, it became easier for Vaelon to see Aemond. They spent more time together now than you would have expected. Your son was most of the time in his father's arms or lap, whether it was the Throne Room or the dinner table. 
He never called Aemond 'father' in the common tongue. Ever since he learned the word 'kepa' in High Valyrian, that was what he was always saying when he saw the blonde man. 
You could also see a slight change in Aemonds behavior now that he was closer to your son. He no longer looked so stiff and stared at the child as if any movement he made would suddenly make the two of you disappear again. 
He had also changed towards you. Although there was still this unsaid tension that neither of you could regard, you could clearly see that he paid attention to the conversations you would politely have. Once or twice in a matter of three days, he had even asked for your advice on a matter of the Small Council. 
When you walked in the Keep his touch would linger on the back of your hand or your lower back; at the most recent ball he was invited to in Oldtown, he made sure to bring you with him and not for a moment did his eye leave your face and figure. He would often let a small smile paint his lips as you rolled your eyes to an exaggerated compliment a Lord from a minor house made to him. 
Soon his touch and voice did not make you so tense anymore. 
Life started becoming manageable again. 
Tumblr media
The library was eerily quiet as it was past the hour of the wolf. Vaelon was already asleep but you simply couldn't find it in you to retire to your shared bed chambers yet. You felt restless tonight. You knew he had returned earlier from a visit on dragon back to Casterly Rock and immediately went to your marital room. 
Ever since your return to King's Landing, you had been sharing your bed with Aemond. He didn't touch you nor did the two of you would sometimes talk at night. He just made clear that he wanted your presence with him at night as a way to try and restore what you once had. At first you didn't like the idea at all. It felt wrong to be in his bed after everything that happened. Had this request been placed upon you years ago you would be gleaming with happiness, but now it just felt meaningless. 
A soft knock on the door followed by a young handmaid took your attention from the book in front of you. 
"Good evening, Your Grace," she bowed her head. "The King has requested your presence."
"At this hour?" You ask with your voice low. 
She says nothing and simply leaves after nodding. 
You knew this day would come. He still believed you two to be married. He did everything in his power since your return, to ensure that there was no doubt in anyone's mind that you were still his wife despite his brother's doing. He expected you to act as a wife and you couldn't exactly say no. Not to the King. 
With heavy feet and a labored breath, you tried to drag your steps to where he was expecting you as much as you could, but in less than five minutes you were standing in front of the dark door and as one of the King's Guard pushed it open for you, you knew there was no return. 
The room was darker than you would've expected. Only four candles that were on each corner of the room. And under candlelight he was sitting on the edge of the bed with his blouse, eye-patch and boots discarded. Only his trousers were covering him from your eyes. 
Looking at him like this made a wave of nostalgia flare through your veins as you remembered being in this very position years ago when he was only a prince. 
"You have summoned me, my King, " you say after taking a few steps into the barely-lit room. 
"I have," is all he says, though he does not look at you. 
You were wearing your nighttime clothes when you made your escapade to the library. A beige silk nightgown that reached your feet, laces by the wrists and a belt-like cord tying around your waist. Your hair was down and you weren't wearing any jewels at this time. So after his brief answer your shaky hands started to undo the knot under your chest, to discard the piece of clothing. 
"No, not for that," He intervenes to stop your actions. 
A confused look spreads over your face at his words. Why did he want your presence if not for this? 
"I wanted to talk," He says and, for a moment, looks embarrassed. "It's been a while since I've talked to someone about things other than the kingdom. Would you grant me that, wife?" He finally looks at you as the words leave his mouth. 
"Of course, if that is your wish," you agree and sit on a chair across from him. "How was Casterly Rock?" 
"Hot as always. I keep on forgetting that the weather there can be more intense than it is here," He responds.
"I never liked it too much either. My father hated when we had to go there to visit some of his friends," you share as you relax into the cushioned furniture. 
"How's Vaelon?" Aemond's voice would always sound softer when asking about your son. 
"He is faring pretty well, I would say. He spent the day with your mother today. Barely saw him this eve, and he was asleep earlier than usual," you tell him with a soft smile on your face. 
If there was one thing that you would never regret returning to King's Landing for, was the relationship Vaelon got to have with his grandmother. Not only had he brought some life and joy back to the dowager Queen's life, but she had also given him something that he would've never known. A love and devotion only his grandmother could give him. 
"Mhm," He grunts lowly as his eyes focus on one of the burning candles. "Aegon never truly forgave, you know?" 
"I don't understand, dear husband," you reply as his words catch you off guard. 
"For your departure. Everyone knew why you left. And you were his only friend. He never forgave me for taking that away from him," his confession makes your heart heavy. 
The fact that Aegon had passed and you only knew of it a year after, still made your throat tighten up and your chest burn. Aegon was your best friend. He had his many, many faults and still he was the one person that would never lie to you. And you did the same to him. With the years you've grown to be around him, you have bonded over that. The certainty that there was no need for any fogged glasses or masked words to one another. 
It all felt so unfair. What gave a slight sense of peace to your heart was to know that he wasn't in pain anymore. From what Alicent told you, he had never truly recovered from his injuries in battle and was doomed to a bedridden life. He wouldn't want to see you like that. He'd never want that to be your last memory of him, still you regretted never giving him the chance to meet Vaelon. 
"We shouldn't dwell on the past," you begin trying to keep your voice steady. "Not if we want to find purpose in the future."
"My whole family hated me," He continued after a moment of silence. "But I thought what I was doing was right. She was with child, my child. How could I leave her to her possible death?" 
Swallowing a lump in your throat you cross your arms around you, trying to make yourself invisible in that moment. You were not expecting those words. You were not expecting a conversation at all when you came here. 
"She came to me on the day that I left. I don't remember much of our conversation, but at least she was honest enough to see what all of that meant."
You stand up and start pacing in front of the chair you were seated. You were once again starting to feel anxious, and being seated was giving you a sense of being stuck there. There were parts of your body where you started to feel an unpleasant wave of tingles on your toes and feet. 
"She died three weeks before I got a letter from my uncle. He wanted to meet me alone in God's Eye, I obviously did not go. I came for Rhaenyra instead, and got here in time to see Aegon's sentence being executed," He voices with pursed lips. 
You've heard of the tragic death of Rhaenyra Targaryen. Churned and eaten by her half brother's dragon in front of her last living child. Aegon the Younger got to live. He was sent to be raised as a septon in Oldtown, under the care of the Hightowers. 
"I had no idea what I was doing when I left. It was three months from my expected labor," you say as you look at him. "I went to Driftmark and Vaelon decided to come a month earlier. I was terrified, he was all I had and I almost lost him. They were already sending for the Silent Sisters and I hadn't even held him yet," you recall the moment after your son came out of your womb. 
Aemond looks at you as you share the dreadful memory. 
"He didn't breathe for more than a  minute. In a last attempt to get him to do something, my brother took him in his arms and started rubbing and patting his back," your eyes get watery as the memories flash through your head. "I was desperate and no one would tell me anything other than it was a boy. I was not fond of Alys or of the reason she came to be in your life, but I understand the pain that you went through."
"I didn't know that. I'm sorry. You shouldn't have gone through that," He stands and takes your hands in his. 
"I'm not sure I'll ever be able to fully forgive you for what you put me through, Aemond. I was so hurt for so long." You bite your trembling lip to avoid the tears that want to run down your face. 
"Everyone kept on saying that it was a great mistake and I never saw it. Until Aegon made me realize how wrong I was, after her death. I had nothing. That's when I decided that I should find you. I knew you were alive, we would've known otherwise." 
"My life in Volantis was good. But it was never mine to keep. I lived every day as if I was pretending to be someone else. I knew my past would catch up to me one day. To Vaelon."
Tumblr media
After that conversation with Aemond, life became easier. You didn't feel like you were walking on glass anymore. Most of the weight you carried on your chest was finally freed, and you liked to believe that it was for him too. Still, you couldn't help but lose yourself in thoughts if he actually meant what he had said. It was still hard for you to fully trust his words. It was a work in progress. 
Today, as usual, you had spent half of your day with Alicent and Vaelon. Vaelon was growing up faster and faster and was beginning to have questions than you had answers. It was delightful to see your son grow up around his element. How he shined close to the rest of his family. 
You had barely seen Aemond yesterday, and today before the sun had risen he was already out of bed. You two spent more time now talking about your days than you ever did when you were firstly married. He actually wanted to share with you what had happened in the council and his next steps on it. 
You came to realize that in King's Landing, it felt like the nights arrived quicker than in Volantis. Probably because you had little to do here, most of it was keeping you Good mother company, taking care of your son or making small conversation with the ladies. 
It was near the hour of the owl when you entered your marital chambers after putting Vaelon to bed. You were wearing your bed clothes, since you shared a bath with your son. A habit you couldn't leave behind in Volantis. It always felt safer to just have him bathe with you. He always got fussy during his baths, so you hated the idea of something happening and him slipping and hitting his head. You made quick work while you limited his space and soon enough the both of you were already clean. 
From the corner of your eyes you could see that a bathtub was inside your chambers and Aemond was sitting comfortably inside of it, with one of his arms hanging out. He was not surprised by your arrival, nor did anything to hide what he was doing, even if you tried not to think of it. You were sitting on your side of the bed - avoiding to look up to the mirror that was pointed directly to him, while you took off the rest of your jewelry when you heard his first grunt. 
You could feel his gaze burning on your figure and very much hear the small noises that his movement was making on the water. His breathing was heavy and you just knew that his lips were parted as he touched himself. Suddenly this feverish sensation started waving on your skin, you could feel the hairs on the back of your neck gluing to your skin as you tried to keep your own breathing steady. 
It has been months since you were touched in anyway, and being in the Keep didn't make you comfortable to do it by yourself. So this was the first time in a while since Volantis that you were this close to a man in such a way. Still you knew that Aemond wouldn't do anything without your explicit consent. 
It was very clear to you when he reached his peak, it was the moment you allowed yourself to look at the mirror. His eye was still fixed to you as an expression of relaxation crashed through him. You were the one unable to move your eyes as you looked at his reflection, his hair tied up in a bun, skin glowing under the candlelight and his arms still moving and his nostrils flared as he tried to hold his moans. 
You were the one to break the stare first and quickly hid under the covers. You had to sleep before your thoughts started running all over the place again. 
Seven Heavens. 
He didn't spend much time in his bath after that, as expected. He quickly put on a loose pair of gray trousers and a chemise, and took his own space beside you on the bed. The both of you are silent and if not for your tense body, it would've been believed for you to be asleep. But how could you sleep if everything around you felt so hot?
You were laying on your side facing the wall as you did every night and you knew that Aemond was facing your back, as he did every night. You could feel his breath on your neck, sleep wouldn't find any of you soon. Just a few mere inches were separating the two of you, but you knew that since the first night they became less and less.
Seventeen minutes passed. You counted every single one of them. You had to, because you would dwell on them on the next day. Seventeen minutes before you slowly moved back slightly, shortening the inches between you both, and with a light feather touch grabbed his arm and placed it on the curve of your waist.
He was the one moving closer to you now. Just slightly, but enough to end the distance between your bodies. His legs were touching yours now. And with a strong shiver down your spine you felt him slowly tracing the curve of your neck with the tip of his nose, as if he was breathing you in. Getting used to you again. Helping you get comfortable with this proximity once more. It felt so puzzling to feel his touch, it felt so foreign to your brain but your body was accepting it with a familiarity that was still confusing to you.
His hand wasn't resting on your waist anymore, now his short fingernails drew abstract patterns on your thighs as you started panting under his touch. The vulnerability that it was bringing upon you wasn't unpleasant. Since both of your bodies were now touching, you could feel his cock hardening on your back as you accepted his touch.
"I've had to pretend for so long not to feel anything for you. Pretend not to miss you. I know you said that forgiving me will not come easily, but give me the chance to at least try and make it right this time," He whispered in your ear after his lips left a chaste kiss on your neck.
"Have you ever loved me?" Breathless, you ask as your hand reaches back to touch the side of his face.
"In my way, a twisted way, I think I did and I still do. I just didn't know how to deal with it in the past," He replies as his hand squeezes your hip.
"And do you now?"
"I am here, am I not? At the brink of kneeling down and begging for you to take me back,"
His kisses become more insistent and you can feel him moving behind you, creating a shadow of a friction between your bodies, in search of some relief. You turned to him, you couldn't think of anything to say to him at this moment. The curtains on your left were moving as the wind involved them in a soft silent dance. Your eyes met his eye and you allowed yourself to watch him for a moment. He had a few light scars on his face now, probably gained them on the battlefield. His hands were more calloused than you remembered and his body more toned under your touch. 
He leaned in trying to capture your lips, but you moved away before the touch could happen. Although Aemond was a stubborn man, he reached for you again and this time you left him. His lips were slightly dry, probably caused by all the panting his previous activity drew out of him, and his lips had a small taste of wine. 
His hand cradled the side of your face as he deepened the kiss now, holding you. Your lips touched as if they were competing with the winds and danced on which dance was softer. Your hands were gripping the front of his blouse, but as he moved to stand above you, he removed it and threw it across the room. 
Aemond leaned down, his eye watching for your expression, as if he was trying to read what was on your mind. One moment his breath was touching your lips and on the other, his lips were claiming a spot he seemed to remember on your neck. Almost unnoticed by you, you felt his hand tug at the buttons of your nightgown, and each piece of skin that was freed was soon touched by his desperate hands as he undressed your torso. 
Aemonds lips soon started to follow the path created by his hands when enough skin was exposed. Your tits now laid hostage to the breeze and his hungry gaze. Your nipples now hard with thr temperature, soon found home under his mouth and hand. He squeezes and suckles on them as if he had never done that before to you. As if it was all new to him. 
"If being a mother gave you these amazing tits, I'll make sure to make them swell again for another babe" he grunted against your skin as your short nails started to mark his back. 
"Fuck Aemond," you gasp as he keeps moving down "please touch me."
"We'll have time for that, wife. Don't worry. I'll make sure to claim all of you again," He replied and as his teeth applied more pressure to your hardened bud. 
"Oh gods," you were the one now trying to rub yourself against him.
Your robe soon became a companion to his discarded clothes on the floor. Both of you now bare under the orange glow of the candles that panted the whole place. His kisses trailed down until they rested on your mound, his eye met yours and with a slight bent of his head his wet and warm lips touched your clit. 
You hissed at the contact and instinctively your hand went to his hair, tangling the locks between your fingers as his lips moved against your cunt. You could only stare at the ceiling and move your hips against him the best you could. You felt like a mad woman in need of her peak. His lips lapped at your folds and his teeth lightly brushed on your sensitive flesh causing more friction. When his fingers met your bundle of nerves and started to rub a pattern of circles on it, you could swear you saw each and every star in the sky. 
Aemond's touch was so different from Kornan's. Where both men had a tendency to be more dominant in bed, Aemond always made sure to drag every single orgasm he could out of you and he would never hesitate to make you come on his mouth first for one or two times before he had his cock deep in your pussy. 
"Holy shit, I'm gonna cum," you voiced with a moan parting your lips. "Aemond, oh fuck, don't stop." You begged.
"Don't worry, pretty wife, I will make sure you finish. But I want you to do it on my cock,"
You felt like crying when he stopped and stood before you. His cock hard and leaking with pre-cum, you could see the neglected red tip that was begging for attention. You leaned against the pillows and opened your legs a little wider to make sure you had enough space to welcome him between your tights.
His bare chest peppered with some almost translucent white hair, his toned abdomen and his veiny arms all made Aemond the beautiful man you always thought him to be. Even the freckles on his shoulder and back was something that you always found attractive on him, even if he would disagree. So to look at him before you like this again was a bittersweet nostalgia, but honestly you couldn't care less of whatever reasons there were as to why you shouldn't be under him right now. Not when his hips were colliding with yours so perfectly, creating the perfect synchrony between your bodies.
"Such a perfect little pussy," he groaned in your ear as his hips snapped harder against you. 
The hair on his pubic bone gave you such a pleasing burn on your already sensitive clit. His pace made the headboard hit the wall repeatedly and non-stopping. The moans that his thrusts would rip from your lips every time he touched that sweet spot. The way that your warm walls wrapped around him as his lips returned to their attack on your neck, marking you it seemed. Not that you were any better.
Your hands ran up and down his back with no pattern, as you tried to hold on to as much of him as you humanly could. You don't reckon when you started to hold your breath, but soon the familiar build up started to pool on your lower body and you felt your walls tighten around him, and Aemond's reaction to it was to fuck into you harder than he already was.
"Fuck, you don't know how much I missed having you under me," He says as he now uses one of your hands to hold your chin making you look at me. "I'm gonna cum inside this tight cunt and give you a babe again. I can't wait to see you swell with my seed again."
"Please, fuck, please Aemond," you didn't even know what you were begging for. You just wanted him to keep going.
"I didn't get to raise my first child, but don't worry, soon you will give me another one. I'll make sure of that."
He was resting on his knees now. Face scrunched up as he held your hips with both of his hands and hammered into you making your moans reach peaks they never had before. With your hips slightly angled up, the sounds of his stones meeting your ass were freely reaching each and every corner of this room.
If you looked at where your bodies met, you would see a ring of white around his cock from how wet you were.
"Come on, cum with me, baby" He grunted as his hips lost their rhythm.
His words weren't needed at this point. The fragile know holding your peak back quickly came undone and you only could see white. Your body was shaking and cold shivers kept gracing your skin. Aemond soon followed with a muffled moan of his own when his hips stilled.
His body soon gave in and he now laid on top of you, not taking his cock out of you. His hot unsteady breath crashed on your collar bone as he rested in your chest.
You both stayed like that for another moment. Racing and erratic heart beats, deep breaths that were starting to normalize, sweaty skin and this utter bliss that followed. 
It was the worst of moments to let your mind wander, but you doubted you'd have a better moment of clarity than this one. It was a clear thought in your head: war had ensued, many lives were lost and Westeros forever changed. No one of the survivors would be truly completely happy again. So if this is what your life had to be, then so be it. You wouldn't run anymore, or try to fight it. 
Maybe this was the version of a better life that the Gods had in mind for you. Maybe it was what they wanted for Vaelon. You would never know. 
What you knew was that this was the result of a war and the side you supported won. Your son was alive and well, and so was your husband. And for now, that was what mattered.

Kindergarten Troubles
Ghost X Wife!Reader
“Well, aren’t you just handsome!”
“My goodness, you’re so tall!”
“And so muscular!”
“Are you taken?”
“My goodness, you must be here to pick up one of the little ones… What a good father you are!”
Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley is many things…
A soldier.
A Lieutenant.
He has faced death down so many times before, death became a friend…
He is a friend.
A teammate.
He is a husband.
Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley can handle many things.
He can handle explosions.
He can handle gunfire.
He can handle war.
But one thing he CANNOT handle.
Is the attention he is getting, while waiting for you to get done with work…
The line of cars is getting longer, as the minutes pass as parents gather in wait for their little ones to be let out for the day.
It was meant to be a surprise.
He had returned days early from his mission and was sent on his leave…
He feels naked without his balaclava.
He didn’t want to scare the children, at the school where you teach; but now he is regretting not keeping the mask in his pocket.
He has never felt so exposed…
Mothers left and right…
Bloody hell – even fathers, had begun to side eye him like he was a piece of meat.
A full course meal.
He could feel his nerves starting to wear thin.
-
“So, which little one is yours?” A young mother – blonde, who had taken particular interest in him, stood within his space.
A little too close for his liking.
“I’m here for my wife,” his voice is flat, it’s even and straight to the point…
The woman in question, and all others standing around within ear shot – go silent…
And suddenly take a step back.
And Simon feels like he can breathe.
Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley was a reasonable man… He knew how to be civil when it was needed; but bloody hell he was tired, and he was uncomfortable.
Pulling out his phone, he reads the time, and feels his heart racing as the time grows closer.
Five minutes before the bell rings.
He can feel a faint smile tug at his lips, and knows that it must be silly… But he can’t help it.
He so desperately needed you.
You were his whole world.
You came into his life at one of his darkest moments and didn’t see him as a monster… You didn’t see Lieutenant Ghost…
You didn’t see a solider, nor a killing machine.
You saw Simon Riley.
He never believed in falling in love at first sight.
But when you took his world and spun it around like the storm that you are… Well, he made himself out to be a liar.
Because he found himself falling in love.
-
The last five minutes feels like an eternity.
But the bell chimes are music to his ears, and he finds himself on high alert, seeking your face in a sea of hundreds.
Some would say it would be nearly impossible to find you in a sea of running children, and chattering facility and staff.
But he can spot you blindfolded.
He knows your walk.
He knows the sound of your laughter.
The scent of your perfume.
He knows everything about you.
He feels the heat of the sun, bearing down on his neck, the intense glares from the lingering parents as he moves towards the school entrance.
But he pushes forward, weaving his way through the onslaught of a crowd of hyperactive children, and exhausted teachers.
Till he spots you.
You’re holding hands with two of your students, looking into the sea of parents.
He feels his chest tighten at the sight – he always knew you were good with children. There was something about you that brought out the best in kids…
Something that brought out the best in him.
He feels the exhaustion slowly slipping away from his bones, as he watches you move with your students.
You’re a natural.
You’re moving towards the group of parents that had been harassing him just moments ago, and he feels the sudden need to make his presence known.
Make it clear…
Who he was taken by.
He hates to interrupt your conversation with the parents, but the look at the parents face is well worth it…
It’s filled with horror, realization.
Did they just try to hit on their child’s teacher’s husband?
What a lucky woman?
“So sorry to interrupt,” his hands find their way around your waist; he chuckles at the startled expression you wear across your face.
“Simon!”
“Hello love.”
He catches you in his arms, and it feels like home…
“You’re home early!”
“Came home early to surprise you,” he presses a soft kiss to the top of your forehead.
“Well consider me, surprised!” You pull away, wide eyed, as the realization and presence of your audition brings you back to the now. “Oh my gosh! Forgive me!” You straighten out your clothing.
“And who is this?” The blonde mother from before doesn’t seemed pleased.
But Simon can play that game too, and extends a hand before you can reply, “Lieutenant Simon Riley – her husband.”

Eddie hated this and he'd just started.
See, he was so proud when he made it, when he got his first office job. He saw what decades of physical labor did to Wayne's back, his hands, and he wanted to make his uncle proud. So he kept applying and applying and getting ignored and rejected and finally, finally he got a job in a pretty large corporate. Not exactly something prestigious, but hey, it had potential. The experience counted and all that.
He thought maybe workplaces would be different, that the good ol' high school dynamic would fuck off, but no. He was sitting at his desk, trying to fill in paperwork after a taxing phone call, but all he could focus on was whispering from the neighboring cubicle that was ostentatiously loud. He didn't know who sat there yet, the guy had been on vacation for the two weeks Eddie was in the company. From the stuff he was hearing, he was getting introduced anyway and not exactly the way he'd have liked to be.
"Can you believe they actually let him work here?" It was Carol, of course it was, the office gossip and mean girl knockoff. "I mean, he doesn't even look decent! Did you see that hair?" Okay, that hurt. He actually pulled his hair into a neat bun every morning, but you can't please some people. "And he has tattoos, what would our customers think if they actually met him, plus you should have heard the rumors about his past-!"
But just as he was about to slam down the pile of paperwork and either take an extended smoke break or gently ask Carol to go fuck a polar bear, he heard another voice. Bored and wonderfully bitchy.
"That's absolutely fascinating, Carol. Please tell me more, what could this guy possibly have done? It must be something juicy. Did he perhaps fuck his boss during the Christmas party and then lie about it to his boyfriend of five years? Oh wait no. That was you. Silly me."
Eddie had to bite his pencil to stay quiet, but his whole chest hurt by trying to keep the snickering in. And then the offended gasp. "I- you promised you wouldn't-!"
"I didn't promise shit, Carol. You just came to me, cried your eyes out - bad move by the way, invest in some waterproof mascara for god's sake, mascara in wrinkles doesn't good on anyone, and yes, you do have wrinkles - and tried to play the victim. Except I heard your small proposition to the guy before so it didn't really work out. But it's fine, you know," and oooh, the tone was smug, so bored, Eddie loved this guy already, "Tommy saw you as well and had a good time with Nicole to get even. So there's nothing to worry about. Now tell me, what did this horrible Eddie Munson do to summon wrath of such a righteous woman such as yourself?"
Eddie heard a sharp sound as Carol got up from the desk. "Fuck you, Steve Harrington," she spat out and sped past Eddie's seat. He just gave her a small salute.
When the sound of high heels faded, Eddie leaned over the cubicle wall and knocked to draw the guy's attention. And yeah, maybe he was a little bit biased because he'd just obliterated a textbook definition of a shrew, but this Steve was fucking gorgeous, light brown eyes looking at him, a smug smirk tugging at his lips.
"Oh hi," said Steve and offered his hand, shaking Eddie's. "Sorry for that. I'm Steve Harrington and whatever deepest, darkest secrets you're hiding, I don't care, I'm pretty sure I've heard them all. What did you do? Shave your head in school? Join a cult? Cut dolls apart and chant hail Satan?"
That had Eddie laughing again, but he still had an introduction to make. A proper one. "Nice to meet you, Steve. Eddie Munson, and I'm worse than your darkest nightmares. I sometimes wear socks in sandals."
Steve's eyebrow twitched. "Oh, Carol was right, you are a monster!" he muttered. "Speaking of monsters..." His head leaned to the side, towards Carol who was angrily carrying her coffee mug, her mascara running again.
Before he could catch himself, Eddie leaned over the wall and whispered as loudly as he could muster. "Can you believe some people wear dotted dresses with stripes on their stockings? We can't all be born with taste, I guess...tragic."
And again, maybe Eddie was just biased, but Steve's laughter was so pretty that it actually made dealing with Carol's bullshit worth it.

Hiii cookie bookie pookie bear, I was wondering if you could write for my short king again (lucifer)! Babyboy is short but how will he be with a gf/wife that is shorter than him! Rahh so cute ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lucifer x Shorter S/O! Fem! Reader
Tumblr media
Headcanons
Tumblr media
warnings: fluff, short people jokes, Lucifer being an emotional dork and lover
words: 664
a/n: sorry for the lack of fics, I've been super busy and have had no motivation recently! Thanks for 300+ followers, I love y'all!
Tumblr media
First of all, it's very rare that Lucifer finds anyone shorter than himself, so you'll have to excuse the literal squeal of excitement he emits the moment he sees you
When you first mention your romantic feelings for him, he had a field day
Someone like yourself, being so beautiful AND short, liking HIM?
He swore it was like being back up in Heaven again
Definitely never misses a chance to make a short joke, despite his own height misfortunes
The internet aided him in coming up with originals
"Hey, how's the weather down there?"
"My golly, it really is the little things in life that matter, isn't it darling?
You have attempted to bite his ankles a few times
Don't worry, if his jokes somehow ends up hurting your feelings, he will be quick to apologize and coddle you for the rest of the day
He is usually very ecstatic whenever you ask him to get anything for you off of a high perch; his chest literally swells with pride that he finally has someone who can come to him for that sort of stuff
"Oh, that old thing up there? No worries, my love. Step aside, step aside now."
Ends up having to get the kitchen stool
But by then, more often than not, it ends up with neither of you being able to reach it, not even with the help of his cane or the stool
Results in him having to get either his daughter, or the spider pornstar he usually tried to avoid if possible (mainly result of his intimidations due to his height, but he was a friend of Charlies)
He will physically deflate if he can't fulfill a need/request you have for him; it crushes his spirit
Likes to put his arm on your head whenever he stands next to you
Its a symbol of both his affection for you and his desire to playfully irritate you
Says you make a good armrest
He only got the satisfaction of saying it once though, because you kicked him harshly in the shin after
He thinks you are just the cutest thing when you're mad; he likes seeing you yell at other people, especially Alastor
But if you yell at him instead during these times, he will go wrap himself up in a blanket and have a breakdown on his own time
You wont see him for a good hour or two; he's off sobbing in some random corner
Eventually he will resurface and request your attention, which you gladly provide him with, apologizing and telling him your words were only humor based and not meant to be taken to heart
Lucifer is already such a sensitive soul, he claims you are turning him to mush by just being the cutest thing to ever behold him
He can't fathom the idea of ever making his precious lady mad at him
Loves getting you funny t-shirts and stuff that have short people jokes on them
Almost always insists on being the big spoon when the two of you cuddle
He's finally taller than someone for once in his life, okay?
He gets the chance to feel like he is effectively protecting someone, this time by covering them with his body like a shield; this has never happened before
Let him have this one victory; he feels accomplished, the poor baby
No one can deny that he has tons of fun with you, as he now gets to be the one who feels all high and mighty
Your height is an ongoing topic throughout the relationship
He often forgets that he himself still only stands just above five feet
He once even tried to fight Alastor because you genuinely make him feel like he's a 7ft giant
Safe to say he came back to you with his tail between his legs, feelings hurt, and still a whopping 5,2
But with you, he may as well have been standing on top of the world

Long hot summers are not for you.
Even though you’re unemployed, going out is still a must for you whether it be for hanging out with friends, running errands, or visiting Harry at his office.
Now that the heat is intensifying, you can’t bear making plans or even thinking about stepping out of the house. The high temperature makes sweat build and the humidity ruins your hair and overall mood, Summer was never your favorite season but now that you’re pregnant, you despise it.
Whining about it was unintentional, frankly, everyone was annoyed by the heat. At first, Harry panicked and begged you to stay indoors. His biggest fear was something happening to you when he wasn’t near, let alone now when you’re pregnant.
You did comply and stayed home for most of the days, but there is only so little you can do when you’re alone. You tried Pilates and Yoga for pregnant women with different instructors on YouTube, cooked new recipes that help with pregnancy, and changed the decoration in the living room twice. You even read some of the books Harry bought.
You’re one month into pregnancy and so far, you’ve only experienced morning sickness, fatigue at night, and frequent urination. The whole vomiting ordeal drains the life out of you, not only is it disgusting but it occurs every day.
Harry was over the clouds ever since he found out about the baby, he wanted to arrange a huge party for the celebration but you were against it and insisted on privacy for the first few months.
All it takes is for you to demand something and he would do it with a sealed mouth. He has been acting quite giddy and clingy, and much more obsessed with your body now that you’re pregnant.
He insisted that you gained some sort of glow even though you look dead after you vomit. The whole sickness part is what made him pouty and apologetic. For the first few days, he teared up and refused to go to his office, there wasn’t much you could say because you were feeling quite shitty.
Then it became less frequent but it didn’t stop him from feeling bad, he kept saying ‘Sorry’ over and over again because he knocked you up and caused all this fuss. He wouldn’t listen even when you assured him that it was just a part of the pregnancy.
Flower bouquets decorated the apartment every single day. He is aware that you have a spacious backyard with a garden that houses different types of plants but no. Every morning he sent out a flower delivery and a handwritten card by him, not the florist.
‘Morning my dove, hope you have an amazing day. Thought I’d give the orchids a try today. Eat well and rest for the little peanut. I love you endlessly. XOXO.’
That was one example out of many. He might as well invest in a flower shop.
As for the unbearable heat, even the poor flowers didn’t handle it. It reached up to 35 degrees every day and you couldn’t move from the couch even though the entire penthouse was air-conditioned.
You weren’t mentioning the temperature on purpose but Harry always listened intently even if your conversations meant nothing. He simply hummed and warned you to not go outside as he was already running errands for you.
It wasn’t until two days later when you woke up to the sound of bags zipping that you noticed what he had done.
“Sweetheart I made you breakfast, please eat it so we can get going to Italy.”
That was all he had to say as you glanced at the set of bags he packed, one of them being unfamiliar. At least five bags were waiting to be picked up by Harry’s chauffeur.
You didn’t have the heart to question anything because you knew that he did it for your comfort, even though he could easily say that it was business for the new branch in Italy.
You enjoyed the omelette with veggies that he prepared as you observed him walking around in shorts and a ‘Daddy’ shirt. Yes, a fucking ‘Daddy’ shirt.
He was making phone calls in Italian, you understood very little but you could tell that he was asking for his yacht and something about his villa.
Maybe it’s the pregnancy or simply your love for him but the way he was handling these things for you and casually strolling in such clothes with his biceps flexing every time he switched the phone from one ear to another with his other hand in his pocket….
Some drool fell on the omelette but it was nothing compared to the wetness between your thighs. He’s already looking like a dilf and you’re only one month pregnant.
“Baby I’ll clean the plates so you can take a shower before we leave. I packed all of your stuff.” He pressed a long kiss to your cheek and caressed your tummy before ushering you to your shared bedroom.
In your head you replied with ‘Yes Daddy’ and he was just taking care of you, nothing sexual!
It’s going to be a torturous vacation.
Tumblr media
The flight to Italy was smooth and comfortable, not that he would allow anything less. He used one of his private jets and demanded to land at the nearest airport to his villa so you could avoid getting road sickness.
Whenever work got crowded and pressuring, Harry escaped to Tuscany. He was eager to introduce you to his villa in his haven. The first time he invited you he couldn’t keep his eyes off of you, not that he doesn’t usually stare,but Italy is precious and so were you.
You napped on the way to the villa, resting your head on Harry’s chest as he wrapped his arm around your body, not forgetting to leave kisses on your face.
Once you arrived, he thanked his chauffeur and tipped him using a checkbook before asking you to rest and hydrate as he unpacked the suitcases. Of course, you knew better than to offer your help.
Harry’s villa was surrounded by vineyards and acres of land, he decorated it with paintings picked from all around the globe and furniture that was designed by a local Italian artist.
In the center of the living room, he has a wall dedicated to pictures of you together, from trips to random candid shots around the house. Your lip quivered as you thought of the pictures that will soon join the collection but with a new member.
You followed Harry to the bedroom and leaned against the wall watching him unpack your suitcase even though you’re capable of doing it. You approached him slowly and pressed your body to his back, allowing your lips to linger over his shoulder blade.
“I felt that something was different but it was just my baby love.” He discarded the items in his hands and turned around to wrap your body around his.
“Do you want me to help—“
“No. You know how I feel about this. Leave it to me.” His voice was stoic and straightforward, the same one he used around the office.
“What is this suitcase anyway, I haven’t seen it before.” You pointed to the unfamiliar suitcase that you first saw at the penthouse.
“It’s yours.” He stepped aside to reveal a wide range of summer clothes still in their tag, along with different types of bikinis, all being luxury brands.
“Harry! What is this?” You searched through the full suitcase, gasping at the price on the tags. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been with your fiancée because you still haven’t come around to how much he spends on clothes. Let alone on you.
“Thought you’d want to try on new stuff while we’re here and we’re going swimming…” Harry loved to spoil you no matter what the item was. Though he never told you, he gets some sort of thrill or ego boost whenever he sees you wearing clothes that he picked out himself and paid for. Call him him weird, obsessive, or even crazy but his head becomes filled with unholy things when you wear what he chose. As for the bikinis…. With your small bump or at least the knowledge of knocking you up.
May the lord have mercy on him.
There was nothing for you to say except a ‘thank you’, followed by a ‘no need’ from him and a forehead kiss. As you glanced around the room, you noticed that he arranged everything in its place leaving nothing for you to unpack.
“Sweetheart you should start getting ready we’re spending the day on our yacht.” He shouted from the bathroom where he was making sure that all your skincare and toiletries were present.
Harry always referred to things as yours and his, even though everything was paid for with his money, not yours. The sentiment of it made you feel warm.
You glanced at all the pieces Harry bought till your eyes landed on a skimpy bikini that would barely cover your breasts or pussy…
You smiled to yourself as you placed it aside and grabbed a towel to shower. The teasing game between you and Harry was never-ending. You acted like cave people around each other when one of you was half-naked or just looking yummy.
If you were still trying to conceive, you and Harry probably wouldn’t have left the villa not that he isn’t all over you now, because boy he is.
If he wants to wear a ‘Daddy’ shirt then he might as well preach it.
Tumblr media
It wasn’t long before you found yourself relaxing on the yacht, as you went through your beach bag to fetch the essentials. A beige dress with a simple cut near the breast area hugged your body as you hid the revealing bikini underneath it.
“Babes, is the SPF with you?” You lifted your eyes upward only to be met with your shirtless fiancée, his arms raised on the doorway and body leaning forward. The shorts were barely hiding anything, his hips were on display and if he tugged the fabric slightly, everyone would be graced with the sight of his cock.
He had an amused smile on as he lazily chewed gum and taunted you with knowing eyes from behind his Gucci sunnies. Handsome motherfucker. You might as well ovulate again right there and then even if you’re already pregnant.
You offered him a nod and tossed the cream in his direction, but why not give him a show too?
You took off your dress in front of him and everyone who was nearby.
The bralette was strapless and tight on your breasts prompting your cleavage to appear plumper, as for the bikini bottom it was a thong.
You kept a casual attitude around him as you folded your dress aside and unpacked the beach bag while sparing him glances to delight in the sight of his clenched fists and tense body.
He was a soft dominant in bed, he disliked all that ‘punishment’ stuff. Pleasure to him is something sacred, if you want to get spanked then ask for it, and if you want soft lovemaking then you should ask for it too.
You weren’t the only ones around, after all this was an area known for welcoming the wealthy so it wasn’t a surprise when you noticed the few other yachts positioned near you.
“Put it on me.” Harry handed you the sunscreen as he stood in front of you giving you a stern look. Whenever he used this facial expression with you, you knew that he was feeling it.
You squirted a small amount of the creamy SPF before lathering it all over his chest and abs, your hands were completely covered as you glided them over his skin.
His body towered over you and you could feel his gaze on you even though he had sunglasses on. He was enjoying your hands all over his hard abs especially when you slowed down your pace to take in the sight in front of you.
Would it be so bad to drop on your knees in public?
“The way you’re rubbing shows me that you’re desperate sweetie.” You avoided responding verbally and instead raised your face to taunt him with a wicked smile as your hands tortuously massaged his skin before reaching his hips and giving extra attention to the fern tattoo. With each glide, his shorts got looser and looser, his happy trail was on display, and when you glanced down you got a peek at his cock by toying with the waistband.
“Should I go for the biceps too?” You put on an innocent act, which he didn’t mind at all. He nodded at your request and turned around to give you a better angle.
“You should sit down, I can’t reach you.” He was taller than you by some good inches and that didn’t stop you from reaching him, but of course, you wanted to play your little game which he complied with.
He took a seat on the sunbathing lounge chair, with his legs spread dangerously. Instead of beginning to apply the cream on his biceps, you abruptly seated yourself on his thigh, not forgetting to let out a subtle moan at the friction or pretend to fix your position by going back and forth on his thigh.
Again, he did not seem fazed by your actions. Not because he’s unimpressed but because he adored it when you were all over him, and it showed when he wrapped his entire arm around your body, giving you easier access to his biceps but also making sure to knead your ass with his palms.
You had to use both hands to rub one bicep and still, it took longer than expected. The more he kneaded your ass, the more his bicep flexed making you drool over his body and push yourself more against him for friction.
“I thought I told you to put protection not ride my thigh.” His voice was delicious, yet so near to your ear which didn’t help your current situation.
“I’m not! Just getting comfy…” You lied to his face and continued to rub the sunscreen on his muscles. His face was inches away from yours trying to intimidate you in a good way. You always get flustered when stared at for too long, and Harry knows how to play his game.
“I can feel the moist and warmness on my thigh.” Your hands stopped gliding at his words, you knew better than to lie, he had you memorized like the back of his palm.
He slowly guided your cream-covered hand to his chest area and moved it along his skin back and forth, his alibi was seeking sun protection but his real motive was to get you riled up.
“You could lie to anyone except the person who made you pregnant.”
Playing dumb was your method. You delighted in touching his skin and toned muscles before asking him to do the same to you. You settled on your stomach, enjoying his calloused fingers running all over your back and shoulders. And of course, you offered him moans.
“You’re in for it sweetheart.” He warned as he headed off inside not even attempting to hide his visible hard on.
Too bad he left before you took off your bikini…
An hour later, you left your initial spot and sailed ahead basking in the cool wind and warm summer sun that didn’t have you begging for winter. Harry brought you refreshing drinks, water bottles, and plates of fruits.
He had switched his attitude and turned into a sweetheart, It wasn’t on purpose, but it’s how he is. He turned on the autopilot and excitedly propped himself near you. He opened a water bottle and handed it to you, asking you to have some sips despite doing that earlier as well.
Then he gave you some cherries and peeled an apple with deep focus, feeding it to you with his hand, before rubbing on your stomach and inquiring if little peanut is causing a fuss.
He rested his head on your tummy, as his lips lingered there for a while offering love to you and peanut with his fingers dancing along your hips and thighs. You swiped your hands through his hair, giving him head scratches making him a satisfied fiancée.
A straw hat covered your face from the sun, and the sound of the waves muffled Harry’s voice. He spoke to your tummy but none of the words reached your ear, but it’s fine since he seemed to have a little private moment with Peanut.
As much as he wanted to bask in this blessing, his job was to check on you. He lifted himself up barely fifteen minutes later and reapplied sunscreen to your arms, insisted on pouring water over your head because the sun was out and about, and fed you an apricot.
Most of the time his gestures are nonsexual but oh well he’s a gentleman, your gentleman, and everything he did turned you on. After leaving you alone earlier, you ogled him as his hands steered the wheel and sailed the yacht. Obviously, his biceps contracted which did not help at all since you recalled rubbing lotion on them. He even placed the pilot hat on his head.
His curls fell all over his face, and his back muscles flexed with every steer of the wheel. The weather was amazing yet the heat followed you here in the form of your fiancée.
There was nothing you could do except spread your legs, as you observed him doing regular things that got you frothing at the mouth.
And now his extensive care and dotting made it much worse. You know that other men do not act the way he does nor take care of their pregnant women this way, you’ve seen some bad examples.
“Are your muscles knotted? Do you want to get up?” His voice pulled you out of your dirty thoughts, showing his concerned face.
“All good.” You smiled at him and pulled his face in for a kiss.
Another yacht approached yours blasting loud music interrupting your little bubble. It was the same yacht that was next to you before sailing, many young adults were on board probably enjoying their euro summer.
Harry got up to take a look scoffing at how loud the music was, they were dancing in bikinis and shorts, distributing drinks, and singing along with the song.
“Scusatemi, potreste abbassare il volume della musica per favore?” He shouted to the group of girls whose yacht was in close proximity.
“Si Bello!” One of the girls replied before sending a flying kiss his way making the others erupt in giggles.
That was your cue to get up. You don’t have much knowledge on the language but you don’t need translation to know that she’s flirting with your fiancée, who was fucking smiling.
You walked toward him placing your arms around his body and waved to the group of girls as if your blood wasn’t boiling. Their faces dropped upon seeing you as they sent a fake smile your way.
“H, let’s continue sunbathing.” As soon as he heard you whispering, he knew you were off. You only used this tone with him when you were mad or up to something devilish. It wasn’t a suggestion as well.
“Of course babe.” He guided you to the huge lounge chair but instead of helping you to lie down, it was the other way around. He didn’t object nor open his mouth and from the look of mischief on your face, he won’t be questioning anything.
You straddled his lap positioning your pussy right over his crotch and inched your face closer, catching his lips in a kiss. You rested your hand on the side of his neck, deepening the kiss as you moved back and forth on his clothed cock.
“Wha—what’s gotten into you?” He panted in between kisses, with his hand wrapped around your ass.
“Am I not allowed to kiss my fiancée?” You didn’t part your lips from his and spoke in a muffled voice.
Ah, so you were feeling possessive.
“Anytime you want babe, you own me.” He played along by kneading your ass and pushing his tongue further into your mouth. Your jaw grew sore from how feverish the kiss was but Harry became relentless.
Your body leaned backward from the intensity of his kiss, and his hands roamed your body, gripping your skin tightly before moving on to another area. He moaned into your mouth and pressed his hard on to your pussy.
You knew that they were watching and that was exactly what you wanted. You didn’t care if you appeared petty or crazy. He was yours.
“You’re such a needy slut.” He had to pull you away by wrapping his hand around your throat. Your lips were swollen and the look of mischief was still painted across your face.
“Look who’s talking, weren’t you flirting around with those girls?” You tilted your head to the side, relishing the way his facial expression changed.
“Watch the words that come out of your mouth dove.” His grip against your throat tightened and the warning in his eyes was serious.
“Or what? You’ll leave and party with them?” His stern look revealed his clear irritation that he could no longer hide.
“You’re getting too mouthy. Up.” He snaked a hand to the back of your thighs, lifting you both in the process.
Again, he isn’t a man who delights in “punishment”. If he wants to be a tease or rough then so be it, he doesn’t have to call it a punishment. The one thing that he would never do is embarrass you in a situation where he is aware of your feelings, and right now you’re jealous.
He didn’t dismiss that, he’ll prove you wrong inside but for now, he has his lips attached to the nape of your neck, while his hand wanders between your hips and bum. Of course, the girls who fancied him were looking as he was all over you.
Once you were in the clear and away from prying eyes, in the safety of the bedroom inside the yacht, Harry switched his demeanor.
He guided you to the bed where you sat at the edge admiring your annoyed fiancée who gave you a promise to destroy you with his eyes.
He stood in front of you, his crotch so close to your face as he raised your chin upward. A curl had fallen on his forehead but it didn’t help in erasing his irritation.
The smell of the summer breeze and salt penetrated the room but was not enough to dismiss his cologne. He swiped his finger over your bottom lip, as your eyes ogled him starting from his pumped chest down to his chiseled abs and toned V line, right where your eye level was.
“I’m going to ask you questions and you will answer in full sentences.” His voice, low and raspy indicated that he was not up for silly games.
“Yes Sir.” You shamelessly tried to take his finger inside your mouth but he didn’t allow it. Instead, you kept gazing at his hips where the shorts were loose.
“Who’s your fiancée?” You felt his engagement ring digging into your neck as he wrapped his hand there.
“You Sir.” You answered without hesitation hoping to get away with squirming your thighs.
“Who owns you?” His pupils darkened and his voice got deeper.
“You sir.”
It stayed this way for a few other questions…
“Who worships you?”
“Who got you pregnant?”
“Who loves you endlessly?”
All of them were followed by a weak ‘You Sir’ as you rubbed your thighs together feeling aroused more than usual just from his veined hand over your throat (and the questions).
“Then why are you being a brat?” He questioned with his face inches away from yours, noses bumping together while you looked into each other’s eyes. His were dark and hungry, yours were bright and needy.
You shrugged your shoulders, avoiding a verbal response, pretending to be clueless about your attitude. Honestly you just couldn’t help it, your blood boiled when you saw how they eyed him.
“Maybe some cock will refresh your mind?” He tugged down on his shorts revealing his thick girth, red at the tip and already leaking precum.
He always knew what game to play, where to touch, what to say and how to make you surrender to him. The fact is that as much as he was obsessed with your pussy and body, you were equally infatuated with his cock.
There was no such thing before Harry, but when it came down to him everything changed, including your perspectives on dicks.
“Poor baby, is that what you want? Craving some cock to make your brain mushy?” He cooed in a mocking tone as he tapped the tip on your bottom lip, not giving you a chance to take it inside your mouth.
You stuck your tongue out at him to show him that you need it, but he definitely had other plans in his mind. His pre cum leaked on your lips and dribbled down your chin, your tongue instinctively tried to lick his cum but he knew you’d try and do that. Instead, he beat you to it and picked them up with his finger observing the subtle pout in your lips when he took them away.
“Hmm so good.” He brought his finger to his mouth and licked it clean to tease you with outrageous moans.
“Please, let me suck on it.” Your eyes darted to his veiny hand that was wrapped around his thick swollen length that is asking to be sucked.
“You do need it… maybe it’ll fix that brain of yours.” He caressed your cheek with his knuckles as one last gentle moment before coming closer, and forcing your mouth open to push his cock in.
His eyes rolled back almost immediately at the warmth of your mouth, you didn’t complain nor protest, you got to work right away as you went down on your knees with your hands going up and down on his thigh, then to the base of his cock where you cupped his balls.
Your warm mouth was heaven to him. For some reason, sinful thoughts began to flood his mind uncontrollably as he imagined you going down on your knees a few months from now as he looks down to get a view of your ruined sight, with his cock in your mouth and your big bump protruding.
“Fuck’s sake! I gave you my seed yet you still get down on your knees like a little slut for my cum.” He groaned audibly, rocking his hips back and forth enjoying the feeling of your tongue licking his cock from the base to the tip.
Whenever you gave Harry a blowjob, you had to use both of your hands. That’s how big he was. One had would be wrapped around the base while the other stroked the shaft and eased it into your mouth where your cheeks would hollow around it, as you swirl your tongue and push his length as far as you can.
The sound of your gagging was music to his ears, let alone the mischief in your eyes as you looked up to him while removing his cock from your mouth to allow the mix of saliva and pre cum to dribble down your chin, before you take him in again and moan as you squirm your thighs and shift.
“Such a good warm hole.” He patted your hair as if you were his pet while he rocked his hips faster in your mouth and smirked at the way his abs flexed.
You were absolutely insatiable when it came to his cock. You already sense the soreness in your jaw but you couldn’t care less. Your head kept bobbing on his cock back and forth, you wanted to drain the cum from him and from the look on his face, it is no secret that euphoria is hitting him.
“Fuck my mouth harder Mr. Styles.” You let out his cock from your mouth with a pop, only to reveal your scratchy voice due to his cock hitting the back of your throat. You smiled back at him with your face covered in cum and saliva, as if you were daring him.
“You won’t be speaking for days.” His hand roughly grabbed a fistful of your hair before thrusting his cock harshly inside your mouth, he maintained a vigorous pace of thrusts as the sound of intense gagging filled the room.
His hips snapped roughly as he treated your mouth like a vagina. Thrust after the other with no remorse, feeling his entire body light up from the heat of your mouth and the skill of your tongue.
Your nails dug into his thighs leaving crescent marks on his skin. Tears were streaming down your cheeks due to his roughness, the sting from his grasp on your hair intensified the feeling of pain and pleasure.
“Oh fuck!” He threw his head back as your nose bumped his happy trail. Everything felt overwhelming. Your tongue didn’t stop for one second, the veins along his girth were caressed by it, let alone his sensitive tip that leaked drop of cum that you happily choked on.
He murmured words of praise followed by a warning of his close release, his grip on your hair got loose as all the blood in his body rushed to his cock.
You broke a new record for holding your breath but it was definitely worth it, the furrow of his eyebrows, parted lips and Adam’s apple that protruded from throwing his head back and swallowing down his throat.
His cock twitched followed by the most lustful moan as he released his load, it flooded your mouth seeing as you had him fully tucked inside. You choked on the large amount of cum and pulled him out to properly swallow what he gave you. Harry was observing your movements making him release even more. Your entire face was covered with cum, some drool and saliva dripped down from your chin landing on your thighs. The cum you attempted to swallow leaked from the corners of your mouth as your hand gripped Harry’s cock tightly, aiming to milk it completely as you stuck your tongue out to not waste any drop.
“That’s it baby…drink it all up.” His sensitive tip oozed more cum into your open mouth, twitching in your hand when you squeeze at the base.
You kept swallowing his seed for what felt like ages, he released a huge load and you got dizzy from thinking about how he gave you such loads almost everyday. No wonder you get pregnant.
“Good girl, swallowing it down your tummy?” You couldn’t reply nor hum, sure you could nod but you were far too gone. After all you’re both equally obsessed with each other.
Your mouth stayed open for a while as Harry swiped his thumb over the corner of your mouth, before bringing it inside for you to suck on.
“Can’t waste any drop baby.” He caressed your cheek lovingly while you attempted to lick your lips and any area that you forgot about. Harry’s low deep voice did things to your body, let alone the sight of his toned body that you were graced with.
There’s just something about your fiancée’s body.
A few moments later, Harry lowered himself to your level pressing a kiss to your temple as he snaked a hand to the back of your thighs to lift you up on the bed with one arm.
He placed you on your back gently before moving his lips all over your tummy down to your legs where kisses your scratched knees from going down on him.
“My pretty girl bruising her pretty legs for cum.” He murmured, rubbing his thumb on your ankle.
If he had kept moaning while you sucked him and ogled his muscled body, or even pumped more of his seed into your mouth, you probably would’ve came right there and then without him touching you.
The way his eyes closed as he bit his bottom lip and clenched his fist making veins protrude in his arm, just to hold back a scandalous moan will always be engraved in your mind.
But of course he did not hold back the moans. He’s too much of a slut to do that.
Your breathing was ragged as his hands explored your lower body, you were already too aroused and Harry just won’t get to the point. Your bikini bottom is definitely wetter than it would be if you had gotten into the water.
“What’s that baby?” He cooed, pressing his nose to your clothed (and extremely wet) pussy. He took a long inhale closing his eyes as his grip tightened on your thighs before opening his eyes again. His pupils had gotten darker.
“I could smell your leaking pussy from miles away. Are you that achy?”
He was mocking you.
It was no surprise that you got insanely wet from making him cum, he knows how easily you can get aroused from the simplest of things like seeing him naked or from his actions as a gentleman toward you.
Besides being feral and primal about breeding you (which he did successfully), he tends to have a certain affinity for smelling your wetness…
Perhaps it messes with his hormones, turns him on even more or he genuinely loves the smell which would be normal as he spends most of his free time between your thighs.
“Harry you know it hurts, just fuck me.” You whined throwing your head back, trying to ignore his devilish grin that tells you he’s up to no good.
“Oh I will darling but how about some questions first?” He took your bikini off so that you were both completely naked and bare for each other.
His muscular body towered over you making you feel safe in his embrace, his cross necklace dangled in front of your face and you couldn’t help but bring your hand forward to move the fallen hair strands from his face.
“Yes love.” You were not sure what these questions were but from the look in his eyes, you knew that you won’t be moving your legs for a few days.
His eyes took in your face features with a cheesy smile plastered on his face, the same one he has on when he tells you that he adores you. He inched his face forward till your noses bumped together and his cologne consumed your thoughts.
His hand slowly reached down to your inner thighs where he rubbed circles dangerously close to your cunt.
“Are you wet because… you wish I could breed you again?…” His eyes burned into yours, his body weight pressing on you.
“…because you sucked me off?” Your breath hitched in your throat when he inserted a finger inside your warm cunt, so that the only sounds heard were the calm waves, the beating of your hearts and the sound of your wet cunt being used.
“…or because you love the idea of being fucked by your fiancée while others want him?” He added in another finger, pushing them deep inside feeling how they got soaked instantly. He fucked them slowly in and out as his eyes raked your facial expression, and relished in the clenching of your warm cunt around his fingers.
“All of them.” You answered as quickly as you could before pouring all of your focus on his fingers, they were now three massaging your folds delicately. Your hands instinctively clung to his back, as you dug your nails into his skin.
“That’s my good girl.” He increased his pace and you knew that some of your wetness must have splashed the sheets. You pushed yourself against his hand for deeper access, making him spank your bum with his other hand.
“I need you inside of me please.” Your begging was frantic and rushed.
“Could never resist this cunt baby.” He pulled his fingers out, and glided his hand over your hips making your skin soaked with your own arousal, as he nipped on your neck (the more hickeys the better).
Heat radiated off your bodies that were intertwined in the best way one could imagine, but both of you needed more. Harry asked for reassurance before lining himself up with your entrance and pushing in slowly.
The first few moments of entering your cunt were better than the whole experience. The clenching of your walls, your warmness, tightness and the tiny whimpers in his ear as your foreheads touch was priceless to him.
It never mattered if the sex was soft or rough, it will always be love making to him.
Love,love,love.
“So fucking tight.” He groaned as he slowly thrusted himself inside your snug cunt, before stilling his hips and taking a deep breath to avoid cumming so soon.
“Full.” It was all you managed to say. Harry’s length could make you cry from how warm and full it makes you feel. Clenching around him is unintentional, it just happens yet you can’t help it. The pain and burn you feel at first made you drool at the mouth, you didn’t mind a little pain kink but whenever his tip pushes through your tight walls, your brain goes numb.
It was as if your cunt itself begged him to go inside. Deeper.
He continued to push himself in till your hips were against each other. You were back in your element, skin on skin, soft rocking, hungry kisses and euphoric feelings.
All the blood was rushing to your engorged clitoris that is growing more sensitive with every passing day, Harry raised your leg over his hip for a deeper angle that made you moan audibly.
His thrusts found a faster pace and you felt the veins on his thick length massage your velvet walls. The sound of wetness echoed in the room as he repeatedly hit your cervix.
“Don’t you ever doubt my love for you.” His tone was both a mix of anger and reassurance. He hated what you implied, how you thought for even a split second that he would look at someone else.
Your walls pulled him in even further with more clenching as you wrapped your legs around his hips and pressed the heel of your feet into his bum in an attempt to get him deeper (if that was even possible).
“I love you.” You whispered through short pants with your nails leaving fresh marks on his skin. His cock worked itself inside your snug cunt, in and out till you could feel him in your tummy, which he probably could too as he was glued to your body.
“Deeper please. Just want you inside.” Some teardrops fell down on your cheek from the pleasure and love you’re feeling and your need for him to be so deep inside. Whenever you had sex, Harry would fuck you so deep you’d feel him for days, yet still it doesn’t seem enough for you.
But his brain worked the exact same way in a repetitive mantra : deep inside y/n, deep inside y/n…
“Yes babylove, gonna leave you sore for a while.” Your bags always contained at least one lube bottle and a cream for soreness because well.. your fiancée is feral.
He picked up his speed with one hand balanced on the mattress and the other pressing on your throat right where his cock reached a few minutes ago.
“This cock made you pregnant. Isn’t that right baby?” His voice was straight out of an erotica book, but you couldn’t reply. You were simply lying down, taking his cock that is thrusting into you hard and fast with your eyes shut as you savored the blissful feeling.
The headboard banged against the wall as the sound of skin slapping filled the room and you almost forgot that you were out in the open on a yacht. Harry imprinted himself everywhere.
His cock fucking you roughly, his hand on your neck, the ache in your muscles, drool on your chin, old and fresh bruises on your skin, your engagement ring and the baby in your tummy.
You let out a string of curse words followed by short words in which you asked him to keep fucking you. The pressure on your neck loosened but only so he could use his hand to pull your face in for a passionate kiss.
“You own me baby. Never forget that.” He stilled his hips for a few moments before pulling himself out, only to thrust back in immediately knocking the breath out of your lungs.
He provided some attention to your perky sensitive nipples right as you stuck your tongue out at him, which he knew was an order to spit onto your tongue. A string of saliva fell from his mouth right into yours before he connected your lips again, moaning into each other’s mouths.
“I’m close.” Your clitoris was so sensitive and lately you’ve been cumming way sooner than you usually do. Your sweaty skin clung onto Harry’s as your orgasm washed over your body with one particular thrust to your cervix.
Harry followed upon hearing you moaning his name as he spurted hot cum inside your walls. The feeling of his seed flowing inside you was peak euphoria. You’re not sure if you could ever have him wear a condom again.
You bit his shoulder knowing how much he liked it but also because you lost your mind when he came inside your pussy. You felt his cum leak from where you were connected down to your thighs and onto the sheets.
“I love being stuffed by your cum.” You whispered a few moments later, earning a chuckle from him.
“Me too my love. Pussy’s made for me.” His fingers danced along your hips and slowly went down near your thighs where he swiped some of the cum that leaked, bringing it to your mouth. You immediately sucked on it and swallowed without hesitation.
“Too fucking greedy. Didn’t let me taste.” He pouted and pretended to be hurt before pushing his tongue inside your mouth.
His cum was still flowing inside your pussy, opting you to clench around his cock. He hissed from the pulsing and swatted your bum as a warning.
“Do you want me to pull out?” He whispered after a few minutes while kissing your temple.
“No just a bit more please.” You shook your head and pulled him closer.
“Whatever you want my love.” Staying inside your warm cum filled pussy was torture, and you knew that of course. His twitching did not go unnoticed but you loved it.
“Do you realise that i’m loyal to you only? I don’t want anyone else.” He murmured with his head resting on your breast.
“I know. You’re mine.” You swiped a hand through his hair before tracing his face with your fingers.
Getting jealous was a natural instinct, but at the end of the day you’re the one he fucks till he’s out of breath and of course you’re the mother of his child.
You’re his and he’s yours. It was as simple as that.

come back to me 1 | pro hero k. bakugo

part two | part three | part four
Loud squealing could be heard coupled with loud laughter and heavy footsteps when you knocked on Katsuki’s door. It was the Monday following his weekend with your children and you dreaded this.
Not that you would ever keep Aya and Kouki away from their dad, after all, they are a lot alike. "Mommy!" Aya cried when she was the first one to open the door followed by Katsuki who was dressed up as a villain of sorts if you had to guess.
It's just seeing the only man you ever loved after such a painful divorce that made your heart ache and twist in your chest, and not in a good way either.
They were clearly in the middle of playtime and your stomach dropped. Your ex-husband stood behind his mini him, the little one who looks so much like him down to the resting mean face. "I told you not to open the door without me present my princess." He grumbled with a huff.
"I knew it was mommy though!" She shot back with a little bit of an attitude and waited until you crouched down before wrapping her small arms around your neck followed by her older brother who was dressed as a hero and came running towards you.
Katsuki watched you hug your babies who weren't babies anymore, with Kouki who just turned seven, and Aya five. "I was able to beat the villain and save the princess!" He announced proudly with a smile.
You raised an eyebrow and laughed looking at them and stood up as they both looked at each other. “I’m glad you guys are having fun. Are you two ready to go? It’s getting late and a thunderstorm is going to start very soon so we need to get back before it starts.”
“Can we stay a little longer, please? We still have to finish this and have dinner.” Aya asked, her bottom lip jutted out perfecting the perfect pout to try and persuade it to fall in her favor, her red eyes turned glassy making you nod your head in agreement.
Your eyebrows knitted together a bit as you stood up and looked at Katsuki. You really didn’t want to stay any longer and have to be around the man who has seen every fiber of who you are, and the part that sucked is you still love him so much it hurts at times.
It took him a while for him to admit he liked you but the day he did you'll never forget it, it was the night of high school graduation when he pulled you into an empty classroom to tell you how he felt.
From there you both spent a lot more time together, eventually, he was your first kiss and first everything, he's the only man you've been with and you don't think you're quite ready to get with someone else.
When you got pregnant at the tender age of nineteen, a year after high school it only made sense to get married and you were highly in love with Katsuki but later it all came crumbling down when his job took precedence over everything in his life, including his family.
He’s still madly in love with you and has been since middle school, during his time at UA the relationship was strained a bit as you didn’t go there and his dream of being a pro hero meant everything to him but he still did his best in spending time with you.
Four years into the marriage it was to the point that you couldn’t bear it anymore, no matter how many conversations you had to have about it nothing ever changed and you couldn’t hold him back either.
At the age of twenty-three, you found yourself a single mother with two children.
“If you want I’d never tell you no, it wouldn’t hurt to have dinner as a family.” Katsuki said with a slight grunt as he watched you step inside the house you two bought years ago. You kicked your shoes off and scooped up your children kissing their cheeks with a soft smile.
You followed the blonde male into the kitchen and sat Kouki and Aya down in their chairs at the table. The room smelled delicious, yet another thing you missed about Katsuki then your mind filled with painful memories of spending time dancing in the kitchen.
Aya watched and followed you once you departed from the table, her tiny fist curled into your pant leg. “Did Daddy tell you he has a girlfriend?” She asked looking up at you with an innocent smile.
Your heart sunk to your stomach like a rock being thrown into a lake. It seems he’s moved on and there’s nothing wrong with it because you were the one to ask for the divorce. “No he didn’t, is she nice to you?” You asked in return hoping your voice didn't creak or break.
It's been three years since the divorce and it only made sense for him to move on, you didn't blame him but that didn't lessen the pain you felt, it was a never-ending soft pulsing pain that stung.
Katsuki stared at his daughter while making the plates, it was something he wanted to share with you privately but it seems like now is the best time. He could see it clear as day the pain in your eyes and wondered why you felt such a way after divorcing him.
“She is yes! She takes Kouki and me to school and makes desserts!” Aya replied not understanding how that could affect you in such a manner.
Katsuki cleared his throat and made the table. “Sit down, Aya.” He told her.
His voice was soft but still something you didn’t want to argue with. Your bottom lip wobbled a bit as your stomach curled. “How would you two like it if you were able to stay with your dad one more day? I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” You asked with a soft smile that was fake.
The air felt thick inside your lungs, like it was mud and breathing was no longer an option. You needed to get out of there before you broke down in a fit of tears and the last thing you wanted was for your kids to see such a thing. You knew why it hurt still. You love Katsuki.
“You don’t have -” Katsuki began then cut off at the eager nod of their heads at the prospect of being able to stay. You smiled and kissed their foreheads and swiftly gave each a tight hug before pulling away to stand up.
You looked at Katsuki and then down at your plate, you were starving but wouldn't be able to stay any longer to eat, and he was right, it would be nice to have a family dinner until the bomb was dropped.
Was it a bit cowardly to run away? Perhaps.
But you couldn't help how you felt about him. You'd always love him no matter what.
Aya dug into her food as did your son thanking their dad for everything. "Before the storm hits I gotta go, and my apartment is about thirty minutes away anyway." You explained and turned your attention back to your children.
"I'll see you two tomorrow morning then, be good and make sure you listen well to your daddy." Your voice wavered with unshed emotions, and being by yourself meant you could get the chance to calm down and think about him moving on. 
With another handful of hugs and forehead kisses, you walked to the front door to slip your shoes on and open the door only for it to be shut, and Katsuki's arm next to your head as he stood behind you so close you could feel his warmth and smell his cologne and him.
His chest brushed against your back when he took in a deep breath. "Don't go. The kids don't want you to go, you can sleep in ou- my bed and I'll take the couch, it's raining already anyway, so stay here."
You cleared your throat and turned to look at him, but instead, your gaze dropped down to the faded text of his Pro Hero name on his shirt. It was one you've worn too many times to count. "I'll take the couch then and we'll head out after breakfast then."
