Eli Sunday x Fem!Reader - All These Things That I've Done (NSFW)
Tumblr media
A/N - back at it with an Eli story. love this bitch. anyways i just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the love on the other stories i've posted, tbh i've just been waiting for a day where paul had a fanbase like he does now and it's even better, all you guys are so cool and sweet so seriously thank you :) anyways- back to the horny jesus man
Summary: Reader has been acting out recently much to her father's dismay, so he's had to call in some reinforcements. By reinforcements, he means the preacher who claims to get demons out of people.
Word count: 2403
Warnings: NSFW, slight misogyny, groping? idk, female receiving
You sat there watching. Waiting in the tense air being held together by your wooden home. You stared out the window as your father animatedly greeted the meek Eli Sunday who had just arrived. Your father had invited him to dinner, for whatever reason. Maybe to get on God's good side. Maybe to scare you into getting your act together. The truth was you couldn’t bear the feeling of telling your father you didn’t believe in God, and that if he was real he wouldn’t have given you hands to steal from the general store, or a mouth to kiss the men in bars with. All he saw though, was sin after sin tallying up. You knew the Prophet being here was no coincidence. Dinners were not held for leisure around these parts, they were held for business.
The door opened, the two men sharing a rapid conversation before noticing your presence on the couch and falling silent. Suddenly it felt like you were sitting on the cross, your hands and feet nailed to the tension of the room.
“Y/N, come say hello to the Prophet.” Your father grumbled.
You sighed and slowly got up, smoothing out your dress as you did. You could feel Eli’s eyes burning into you. Your father wasn’t the only one fed up with your behavior, Eli was too. He saw the demons within you, the ones that made you steal and lust. And he was determined to get them out of you.
You walked in front of Eli and he took one of your hands and kissed it gently. “Miss Y/L/N, I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure. After church you always run off before I get the chance to speak with you.” He smiled. You looked into his eyes and felt the coldness behind them. You wondered if maybe he was right, he really was just a vessel for God’s voice. Nothing but a body to be commanded, not a true living person.
You pulled your hand away. “Hello Prophet Eli.” You mumbled, looking over at the dinner you had prepared.
“I don’t think I’ve ever met your mother, either. Is she here by chance?”
Your father spoke for you. “She went to the city for a few days to see her sister. The other kids are with her. Y/N actually prepared the dinner for us tonight, isn’t that lovely?”
Eli’s eyes widened in feign interest. “Wow, be careful or she will have the men around here asking for her hand in no time.”
Him and your father both laughed a bit before returning to conversation as you set the table for them. Part of you regretted not spitting in the food before he got here with comments like that coming out of him. The look on his smug little face if you told him you spit in it after he ate would be priceless.
“...and that’s why she needs this private session, Prophet. It’s the only way to get her right.” You heard your father say as you tuned back in.
You practically dropped the plate you were setting on the table. What did he mean, private session?
“Yes yes, we will talk about this after our meal.”
You all sat and ate dinner in silence. Your father made a few attempts to crack jokes or talk about the food, but it went completely unnoticed. Instead, you and Eli were just sitting there staring at each other from across the table. He was trying to intimidate you, size up exactly what technique he needed to crack into that head of yours and you were giving him nothing to work with. His mouth was turned up in a gentle smile as he observed you, while you stared as disinterested as you could back.
A few minutes passed before you broke eye contact with him and stood up. “May I be excused?” You said, making it sound more like a demand than a question.
“No, I believe we have something to talk about.” Your father said grimly.
You paused for a second, you knew that tone of voice. You were in trouble, again. It seemed like everything you did, it didn’t matter what it was, you were always going to be in trouble. You put your barely touched plate into the kitchen before plopping back down into your seat. “What?”
“We need to talk about your behavior recently.”
Of course. If he wanted to constantly make your so-called behavior a spectacle, you were going to make it a spectacle, dammit. “Oh Jesus Christ, what about it? I haven’t even done anything wrong!” You dramatically said.
Your father’s face immediately turned beet red, and a soft gasp escaped Eli’s lips.
“Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain! See, this is exactly what I’m talking about, and that’s why the Prophet is here,” he said, pointing a finger at you.
You looked over at the Prophet, catching a smirk on his face before he returned to his wide-eyed demeanor.
“So that’s what the private session is about. Oh what, like this charlatan holyman can do anything to help me? That’s the whole reason you invited him over, isn’t it? Set me straight back on the path of the Holy Ghost? Well, I have news for you-”
“Enough!” Your father shouted, slamming his hand on the table and earning a jolt from Eli. Your father turned his head to him. “Do you see what I have to deal with, Prophet? This incessant harlot is constantly going against my word- your word- God’s word.”
You both looked at the Prophet for a moment as he cleared his throat and closed his eyes, nodding.
“Yes, yes Mr. Y/L/N. This behavior is due to the presence of a Devil. One of the many demons from hell has spirited itself to your daughter. But need not worry, I am very well acquainted with such works against Him.”
You couldn’t help but laugh cruelly. “A demon? A spirit? Father, you can’t be serious.”
Your father stood up from the table silently, handing Eli a wad of money before walking to the door to grab his hat and jacket. He didn’t respond, he mumbled something along the lines of “going to get a drink” angrily before walking out the door.
There you sat in your dining room, across the table a man who had just accused you of being a demon. A demon. Your life had to be a cruel joke, you swore to God.
You both sat in silence while you impatiently waited for the Prophet to say something. You knew you weren't going to strike up a conversation. The last thing you wanted was to be sitting in a room with him, much less interact with him.
“Well, that was a pleasant dinner.” He finally said, earning another laugh from you.
“Yes, it always is. Is this your first time having dinner with a spirit? Hmm?”
He sighed, looking around the room before his eyes returned to you. “I don’t judge you for being a sinner, Y/N. That’s not my job, that’s God’s duty to us all.”
“Then why do I feel the eyes of judgment upon me, Prophet?” You spit, turning away from him.
“You poor, poor thing.” He said, getting up and walking over to you.”You don’t like being like this, do you? Hmm?” He stroked your cheek, his fingers feeling cold against your skin.
“Being like what?” You mumbled. Suddenly your face felt hot and you began to relax at his touch. He was damned good at his job, you gave him that. He made getting to know people wholly seem so easy. It was like by looking at you he knew exactly what kind of Prophet you needed. You both hated and admired that about him.
“Being so… Intense. Hurting the people you love. Hurting yourself in the process. Hurting your relationship with God. I’m here to help you, not hurt you Y/N. Please, allow me to get this demon out of you.” He crooned. He loved the way you looked, your tough act falling in front of him as his words softened your shell.
“Will you leave if I let you?” You grumbled, turning to look at him.
“Once my work is done, I will leave. May the Lord see it through.” He smiled.
You sighed. Oh, what the hell? Might as well indulge the guy, considering how much money your father paid him. Who knows, maybe underneath that zealot exterior there’s a person in there.
“Fine. Do what you must, Prophet. But I can’t guarantee it will work.”
“Thank you, Y/N. Thank you.” He kneeled down next to you and took his hands in yours. “Now, let me find this spirit in your body. Sit still.”
You sat up, watching the Prophet. He withdrew his hands from yours and closed his eyes as his fingertips traveled down your arms, stopping at your shoulders for a moment. You shivered at his touch, his fingers leaving scorching trails of hellfire down your forearm. He continued his search, his hands now traveling past your collarbone and stopping at your chest. He opened his eyes and looked at you for reassurance, a slow nod from you confirming his actions. He put one hand on each of your breasts, his now closed eyes fluttering. You knew he could feel your heart racing underneath your dress, not from anxiety, but from anticipation. It seemed like the Prophet had no idea what he was doing to you with those hands of his.
“Not there, it’s… Lower.” He grunted. His hands detached from your chest, now snaking down your torso, causing you involuntarily to move at his touch. His eyes opened, looking at your now red face.
“Closer.” He nodded, noting the goosebumps on your arms and the redness of your cheeks.
His hands traveled around your stomach before landing on your hips. He squeezed them gently, making you whimper. He immediately looked up, studying your face.
“Ghost?” He whispered.
“No, no ghost…” You croaked.
“Hmm, perhaps…” His hands moved from your hips to your legs, his hands now traveling up your calves. You wanted to whine at his hands being further away from where you really needed him, but you couldn’t let him know what you were really thinking. He wanted to see the sin of lust in you, that damned ghost. You were praying for the first time in months that maybe he wouldn’t find it.
His hands traveled up your legs, stopping on your thighs. Your skirt was now lifted up and he had a view of your now soaked core, his torment creating a vessel of wetness in your underwear. He closed his eyes and mentally said a small prayer, thanking God for the holiness he was witnessing. You watched hungrily, biting your lip to keep from moaning as his hands moved up your thighs and to your core. His fingers sat still on your slit as he moved his head closer.
“The ghost,” he whispered, his head now between your legs. “I’ve found it. The demon of lust is inside you, Miss Y/N.”
“Is that right, Prophet? Can you get it out?” You questioned, partially teasing him and partially begging him to do something to you. The lack of contact was starting to get to you.
“I can suck the spirit out of you. But you must not let it back in, understand?” He looked up at you, deadly serious. You wanted to laugh at how much he truly believed himself, but your begging core was much more important.
“Yes, Prophet. Whatever you say.” You half moaned, his one finger accidentally moving closer to your clit.
He nodded, lifting you up slightly to remove your underwear and pulling you closer to the edge of the chair. His mouth immediately found your clit, sucking gently on it. You moaned loudly, your hands finding his hair. He used one hand to hold your thigh up so he could get a better angle while the other found its way to your slit, one of his fingers now slipping its way into you. You gasped and wiggled against his touch, moans escaping you involuntarily as he worked. You made the mistake of bucking your hips against him despite your attempts to control yourself. He pulled away, the hand holding your thigh now finding its way to your hip.
“Hold still, Y/N. I know the spirit is fighting to stay, but relax and allow it to escape for me, okay?”
You nodded earnestly, not caring what you had to do to get his mouth back onto your aching clit. He nodded back, his head getting reburied in your thighs. This time his mouth met your depths, earning a loud moan from you as his tongue danced among your folds. You tried hard to stay still for him, your legs now shaking as his nose pressed against your clit. He pulled away a little, his chin now slick with your wetness. Your head was spinning, and a familiar push in your gut told you you were close. His other hand crept up and began massaging your clit as he looked up at you. The sight of him covered in you and the gentle massaging of your pulsing bundle of nerves pushed you over the edge, and you squeaked and moaned as you released your orgasm.
You looked down at a now out of breath and red-faced Eli. He slowly rose from his knees as you put your underwear back on. He wiped his face with the sleeves of his shirt earning a giggle from you. He looked down at you and grabbed your face, inspecting your features before looking deeply into your eyes.
“Yes… I believe the demon is gone.” He whispered, his face inches from yours.
“I think so too.” You spoke, dazed from your pleasure. You almost leaned forward to kiss him in your love-drunk state.
He let go of you. “Well then, my work here is done.”
“Yes, I suppose it is.” You looked down, finding yourself sad at the idea of his absence.
“Well if you have any other problems with demons, you can come speak to me anytime, Y/N.” He rubbed your cheek again, his hand lingering longer than last time.
You stood up, your legs slightly shaking, and walked towards the door to open it for him. You opened it and he bowed to you before stepping out into the sunset to go back to the Sunday Ranch.
Little did you know, Eli had been possessed by this spirit of lust. Even worse than you had.

Just His Type
"I don't understand what the problem is! Do you really think I'm that ugly? Do you hate me that much!?"
Stephanie was practically crying as she screamed at her boyfriend Derrick, completely fed up with his complete lack of interest in her advances. They'd been together for a long time, and even though she knew they had sex less than other couples, it had always been on the table, but even that had slowly tapered off in the last three or so months.
She only grew more frustrated as he rolled his eyes, looking annoyed as if this situation was her fault, before responding
"Of course not babe! Like I said, you're just my type! You're perfect! I'm just not in the mood tonight. Why won't you understand that? I've been super busy recently..."
He sighed, hiding his face in his palm, before continuing
"Look, why don't I step out for a minute and give you some space? We can talk about this once you've calmed down"
Stephanie, of course, hated this, and although she tried to argue with him to stay, he still grabbed his coat and walked out, leaving her near tears in the apartment.
"I don't understand why he has to be so cruel to me... I'm hot, I'm kind, I'm a great girlfriend! What am I doing wrong?"
As she sat on the couch, feeling sorry for herself, her thoughts drifted wildly, trying to think of any crazy idea in the world to help her in this situation. Suddenly, she vividly remembered a time, only a couple days ago, when she had confided in her elderly neighbor about the situation, and the woman had told her that if she never needed help with that, to come to her. Stephanie had thought it was a bit weird at the time, but didn't focus on it at all. However, now that she was desperate, she quickly grabbed her coat and ran to the woman's door, knocking in it frantically.
As Stephanie pounded on the door, the old crone opened it suddenly, seeing her frantic appearance and immediately inviting her inside. She grabbed the girl a cup of tea and brought it out to her, before sitting across from her and saying
"I assume this has something to do with that little boyfriend of yours storming past my door a half hour?"
Stephanie tearfully nodded, saying
"I don't know what to do... He keeps telling me not to worry about it, that I'm just his type, but then he completely ignores me..."
The old woman sighed, before heading to a cupboard beneath her sink, rummaging around a while before coming back to her with a decently sized jar of pink liquid.
"Remember child, I'm only doing this for you because I like you. This elixir will solve every problem you're having. All you need to do is head home, drink exactly 1/4th of the jar, and think about your boyfriend. As long as you do it correctly, I guarantee you, you will become the exact woman he desires. Understand?"
Stephanie nodded again, taking the vial from her with a quiet "thank you" and heading out of the apartment and back to her bedroom. She stared at the 'elixir' with skepticism, not trusting a single thing that old woman said.
"Am I really considering this? Am I really that desperate?"
Steeling herself after inevitably deciding that she was, in fact, that desperate. She poured out exactly 25 percent of the potion into a small cup, took a deep breath, and drank it with a deep gulp.
The potion tasted bad, almost like an incredibly metallic cough syrup, but she swallowed it down, feeling nothing different at first. However, as she got up to wash out the cup, she felt a crazy rush of heat and pain, and she choked out "Its happening!" before rushing into the bathroom to look in the mirror.
She stared at the mirror in disbelief, watching her once brown eyes switch to a bright blue, and watching her facial features start to shift themselves and rearrange.
"Wow, a lot of facial changes huh? Well, I guess its not so bad..."
She said that before the surge of pain spread downward, flowing through her arms, chest, abs, legs and everywhere it could reach. The energy filling her was almost unbearable, pressing against her skin, as if trying to make more room for itself. She clawed at her skin, her body filled with an insane combination of heat, pain and... pleasure(?), which completely overwhelmed her, and she blacked out, right there on the bathroom tile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Derrick stumbled back into the apartment two hours later, sighing, already not looking forward to the inevitable nagging that was going to come tonight.
He looked around the empty apartment, surprised thaf his girlfriend wasn't on their couch watching lifetime movies, which seemed to be her default way of cheering herself up. Confused, he called out
"Stephanie, babe? You there?"
While walking further into the apartment. Suddenly, he was interrupted by a deep voice coming from the direction of his bedroom, saying
"So I was 'just your type', huh? Gotta say, I think you had the right idea with this, babe~"
Derrick turned to the voice in surprise, seeing the most attractive man he had ever seen leaning in the doorway, handsome face, bright blue eyes, and incredible body fully on display by the pose he was using.
Tumblr media
Derrick became aroused immediately, feeling his pants tent as he actively had to think about not drooling in front of this hunk, mind short circuiting at the sight in front of him, taking a long time to process what the man just said.
"Wait- babe? Stephanie, is that you? But- how... I don't understand!"
The man chuckled, a deep, sexy low laugh that made him look even more attractive somehow
"Think Stephen's more approriate now babe. And the old lady next door hooked me up, don't worry about it~"
Stephen held up the little vial, waggling it teasingly, while he grinned sadistically
"Now what do you say we use this, add a little meat to those bones, and then after we have some fun, we can share some of this gift with our neighbors~"
And Derrick, despite knowing it was a terrible, immoral ideal, couldn' t deny, that at this moment, turning everyone into their apartment building into hunks just as sexy as Stephen was everything he wanted to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The old woman knocked on stephanie's door quietly, waiting patiently for someone to answer the door (she had received a call from Derrick inviting her over just a half hour Go), before a voice echoed from inside
"Come in, its open!"
So she invited herself inside, walking into their living room, but finding it empty, though there was a ton of noise coming from the kitchen. There was a tray of cookies on the coffee table that Derrick quickly shouted to say she should feel free to take, so she helped herself, eating the small confection, surprised at the delicious taste.
As she was eating it, she called into the kitchen
"Did you and stephanie enjoy the gift I gave to her?"
She was genuinely curious, and assumed that this visit was probably as some sort of thanks. To her surprise, however, derrick laighed at that, and almost sounded sarcastic in his response.
"Yeah, 'Stephanie' and I really loved it. We found a lot of uses for that little gift of yours. In fact, did you know that your little potion tastes incredible in any baked good you put it in?"
The second the voice said that, the woman looked down at the tray in horror, getting up to leave and hopefully rush home to find an antidote, but before she could sheheard someone enter from the other room.
"You're not leaving already, are you? Stephen and I haven't even gotten the time to properly thank you. Plus, I just finished a new batch, and I need you to help me hand it out to all the neighbors~"
Tumblr media
The moment Derrick entered, heat rushed through her body, and she sat down, resigning herself to her fate. The last thing she got to see before she blocked out was 'Stephen', looking nothing like the girl she had innocently tried to help earlier this morning, walking in from the bedroom and smirking at her.
"Just give in, Granny. You're gonna love it just as much, if not more than I did"
And when Grant woke up in his own bed later that same day, he had to admit it. Stephen was 100 percent right~

The Night We Met
Summary:
Ever since Emma and Neal started dating, his roommate, Killian, has always been a jerk. But now that Emma and Neal have broken up, will she see Killian in a different light? Especially when she finds out the truth about why he's always hated her?
Rated M
Also on A03
Happy belated birthday @mariakov81! I have finally finished your birthday fic. I hope you enjoy this college/enemies to lovers/miscommunication au.
Thank you @ultraluckycatnd for being my beta on this one.
-------------
“Ruby, I’m tired, I really don’t want to go to this party,” Emma whined as Ruby walked through her door.
“Too bad,” Ruby trilled at her. “You promised. You’ve been working like a dog. And besides, maybe you’ll get yourself laid tonight.” She smiled her wolfish grin at her.
“Ruby, I don’t need to get laid. I’m perfectly fine!” Emma huffed and settled herself back down into the couch cushions.
“Emma,” Ruby said, sitting next to her on their overly plush couch. She threw back her red tinged, brown locks, and grabbed Emma’s hands from where she’d had her arms crossed over her chest in indignation. “You have not been with anyone since you and Neal broke up. Not even a one-night stand or a rebound to get over him. I know he hurt you..”
“He fucking cheated on me for half of our three year relationship, Ruby!” Emma said, pulling her hands back and willing the tears that pricked her eyes not to fall. She wasn’t going to get upset about fucking Neal again. “Thank goodness I always insisted on condoms even though I was on birth control. Who knows what kinds of diseases he could’ve picked up.” The memory of finding Neal with another woman in their bed was seared into her memory. The fact that he’d apparently been cheating on her with multiple women over the course of their relationship made her feel like the biggest failure on the planet. But Emma always got left, always, so she really shouldn’t have been too surprised.
“I know what you’re thinking, Emma Swan, and it’s not true. You did not deserve this.” Emma raised her eyes to look at her roommate. How the hell could she always read her mind? “I know you,” Ruby said as if she had, in fact, read her mind. “I’ve known you since we were 15 and Granny took you in off the streets, fed you, and never let you leave.” Emma smiled at the memory. As a 15-year-old foster kid runaway, Emma had tried to take some food from Ruby’s grandmother’s diner dumpsters, but had been caught by Granny herself. Emma had thought she would call the cops on her, as had been her experience, but instead, she called 15-year-old Ruby down from the apartment over the diner and together, they had made what Emma had constituted as a feast (really just grilled cheese, steamed broccoli, onion rings, a hot chocolate with whipped cream, and a piece of cherry pie for dessert). Emma had made to leave as they’d done their good deed for the day, but they insisted on Emma staying in their spare room (and with a stern warning from Granny that if anything were missing in the morning, she would hunt her down). And somehow, Emma had fought the urge to run, and eventually, Granny ended up getting permission to foster her, and she had never left. Now she and Ruby were finishing up their senior year of college and Emma did not need her foster sister to try and convince her to go to some end of the year college house party.
“Look, Neal was a raging douche. I’m just sorry he had to break your heart for you to see it. But it’s been six months, Emma. It’s time to end the wallowing and come out!” Ruby gave her a stern look and Emma knew she was done for. She could never say no to that look, and Ruby knew it.
“Fine!” Emma practically bolted off the couch. “But don’t expect me to have any fun,” she warned as she headed off to her bedroom to change.
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” Ruby said, waving her hand behind her as she went through the door of her own room.
-------------
Emma sighed a breath of relief as she sat down in the recently vacated spot on the couch. There was a couple making out on the other end of the couch, but as long as they didn’t invade her space, she wasn’t too worried about them. She’d been making the rounds with Ruby for the past hour and the heels that she’d picked out to wear were not being kind to her feet whatsoever.
She had just grabbed her phone out of her wristlet, flicked her blonde hair back behind her, and was just about to check the time when she heard his voice.
“Fancy seeing you here, Swan.” She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she knew more would be coming. “This doesn’t really seem like your scene,” the heavily accented, British voice continued on.
“And what exactly is my scene, Jones?” Emma didn’t even look up from her phone, just opened it up and started to scroll through Instagram so that she didn’t have to actually speak to him. She groaned when she felt the couch dip next to her. She glanced past him to where the couple had been making out just seconds ago, but it seemed as if they’d decided to take their activities to someplace more private.
“Aren’t you usually at bars or at Neal’s place?” Emma wasn’t sure if he was asking a genuine question, or if he just didn’t have a good zinger for her (which was pretty much his thing). But it was obvious from his answer that he didn’t know some important information.
“Neal and I broke up,” she said, trying to sound nonchalant and not like her heart was still breaking six months later. It wasn’t even Neal she was upset about, it was the being lied to and cheated on part that still got her upset. That she had put her heart out there and Neal had essentially stomped all over it, making her feel like that lost girl all over again. She looked over at him expecting to see an ‘I told you so’ smirk on his face, but instead, he looked rather upset.
“I’m sorry, Swan,” he said, a solemn expression washing over his face. “I truly am. I know how happy you two were.” Emma almost burst out laughing. 
“Are you mocking me, Killian?” She wasn’t angry, just confused. “Because I seem to recall you not liking me at all when Neal and I were dating. Considering you were his roommate for most of the time we were together, I rarely ever saw you. And when I did you showed your disdain toward me pretty flagrantly.” Great. Now she was all riled up again. The last thing she needed tonight was to get into an argument with Killian Jones who had been the bane of her existence when she and Neal were together.
The expression on his face morphed from concern to pure anger after her little outburst. “I don’t even know why I try with you, Swan.” He pushed himself up off the couch and started to walk off before he stopped sharply, turned around, and came back over to her.
“I don’t know what I ever did for you to be so combative towards me, but now that you're not with Neal I don’t have to put up with it anymore. Go screw yourself!” Emma watched in shock as he stalked away from her and started up the stairs. The few people who were in the room with her all had looks of disbelief on their faces at the scene that had just transpired. Emma felt her whole body start to flush in embarrassment before she realized that she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Who the fuck does he think he is? she thought, her embarrassment now turning to anger. She and Killian had always had an antagonistic relationship. They had never gotten along. Well, technically, that wasn’t true. She’d actually met him before Neal as they’d had a class together sophomore year, but they’d only made small talk at that point. They’d flirted a bit and she’d thought he’d been interested, but then Neal had asked her out instead and Killian had made it clear that not only had he not been interested (what with the girlfriend Neal told her he had), but that he really didn’t like her at all. Every time she’d go over to their apartment, no matter what she said, he retorted back with some kind of insult or sarcastic comment. It had almost been a relief when he’d moved out a year and a half into her and Neal’s relationship.
“You try with me?” she asked incredulously, running after him up the stairs and trying not to knock over any of the, most likely, drunk people who were congregating there. Killian turned around toward her, his blue eyes flashing angrily at her. He looked like he was going to say something back to her, but then his whole body deflated with a resigned sigh that said ‘Great, I guess we’re doing this.’ And before Emma could even comprehend what was happening, he’d grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty bedroom right off the stairs, locking the door behind them.
“Did you know?” she asked before he could get a word in. 
“Know what, Swan?” Killian asked as if this whole thing was an inconvenience for him, even though he was the one who dragged her into the room.
Emma let out an exasperated sigh. “That Neal was cheating on me?” Killian’s eyes went wide for a split second before he tried to cover it up with a look of disbelief, but that was enough for Emma to see that, yes, he indeed knew that Neal had been cheating on her.
“Wow,” Emma said, trying to blink back the tears that had started pricking her eyes, all the fight leaving her body. “I knew you hated me, but I never expected you to sit idly by while Neal cheated on me.” She sank down on the bed and proceeded to use the heel of her hand to try and stop the tears from actually falling. She glanced a look at Killian, expecting to see him gloating or a mirthful smile gracing his lips, but instead, he looked absolutely crestfallen.
“I had my suspicions,” he began, running his hands through his hair, making it stand straight up and yet still making him look devilishly handsome, not that Emma was noticing. Nope. She was too upset to notice how Killian looked. “I confronted Neal about it and he told me to mind my own business. That’s why I moved out. I may be a bit of a scoundrel, Swan, but it’s bad form to cheat.” He made a move to sit down next to her on the bed, pausing to silently ask permission before she nodded yes and the bed dipped next to her.
“Why didn’t you tell me you even suspected?” Emma asked. She was staring at the god awful bedspread they were sitting on. It looked like it was denim with rhinestones all over it. How could that be comfortable to sleep on? She felt the bed shake and saw Killian scratching behind his ear, a nervous tell she’d noticed over the years. She wondered why he was nervous talking to her right now.
“Honestly, Swan, I figured you wouldn’t believe me. I mean,” he paused for a moment as if he were going to reveal some big unspoken truth between them, “you did choose him over me. I didn’t want to come off as jealous and petty.” She nodded as if that made sense, but then realized it made no sense.
Jealous and petty? 
Chose Neal over him?
“What the hell are you talking about, Killian?” The sadness that she’d been feeling was replaced by utter confusion. 
Killian took a deep breath as if he couldn’t believe they were going to discuss this. “Look, I know you always felt a bit uncomfortable about me being Neal’s roommate, since you rejected me so grandly. I guess that’s why I was always so sarcastic toward you -”
“No, seriously, Killian,” she said, cutting him off, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. When did I reject you?” She’d turned to face him now. She was sure her face had the most puzzled expression on it since this conversation had taken a turn. Killian’s eyes searched hers as if looking for the prank she was playing on him, but when he couldn’t, he continued talking.
“That night in the bar. You rejected me and chose Neal,” he said matter-of-factly.
“I know I keep saying this, Jones, but what the hell are you talking about? I never even spoke to you the night Neal and I got together in the bar. How could I have rejected you?” God, had she drank more than she thought that this whole conversation with Killian made no sense whatsoever? Killian let out a huff of frustration.
“I was perfectly happy never to bring this up, since you never did, but I guess we’re finally going to have this out. That night. At the bar. I thought we were flirting. It seemed like we were flirting.”
They had been flirting. She’d been waiting for her friends at a table by herself when she’d noticed Killian Jones from her biology class sitting with Neal at a table across the room. They’d practically been eye fucking each other from their perspective tables when Neal had walked over to her table and surprised her by asking her out instead.
“You had a girlfriend!” Emma said, accusingly. And now she was back to being angry. She jumped up from the bed, intent on leaving the room. Why the hell did he feel the need to rehash all this from three years ago? She’d felt humiliated when Neal had told her Killian had a girlfriend. She must have completely imagined the flirting that she thought he’d been reciprocating. 
“What are you going on about, Swan?” he asked. Apparently it was Killian’s turn to be confused. He was wearing the most perplexed look on his face that Emma had ever seen.
“Your girlfriend, Mia, or Mina, or whatever. You were dating her when Neal and I started seeing each other, so you couldn’t have been flirting with me!” Emma was exhausted from this whole exchange. She knew she shouldn’t have let Ruby convince her to come out tonight. And here she was only, she checked the digital alarm clock sitting on the nightstand, one hour into the party and she was already fighting with Jones. And she wasn’t even sure what they were fighting about this time. Just that she felt like she was reliving one of the more embarrassing interactions she’d had with him.
Killian sat there looking shell shocked. “Milah?” he asked incredulously. Emma shrugged.  “Neal’s cousin? I never dated her. I met her at a party, once. The party you came to as Neal’s girlfriend for the first time. Whatever gave you the idea I was dating her?”
Emma furrowed her brow, trying to recall that night three years ago. “Neal told me you were,” she said slowly. Killian scrunched his face in a look of confusion. He headed back over to the bed and sat down. He looked like he was thinking about something and Emma started to feel like an intruder in the room. She was about to suggest she head back to the party when he patted the spot next to him.
“Come sit, Swan. I feel like we need to clear the air about a few things.” The solemn look on his face was enough for Emma to follow his instructions. After she’d settled herself on a patch of the bedspread that did not contain rhinestones trying to puncture her through her jeans, Killian began to speak. “Let me see if I have the order of events correct from that night in the bar. You and I were flirting.” Emma attempted to interrupt him by reminding him that she was flirting, but she’d obviously misinterpreted his intentions, but he put his pointer finger to her lips to stop her. “Sh Sh Shush. It’s storytime,” he said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. 
“So, you and I were flirting, or, at least, I was flirting. I was flirting with you in our bio class at school and I couldn’t believe my luck that you were sitting there at that all ages college bar flirting with me. But, I wasn’t as confident back then, so when Neal offered to be my wingman and kind of feel you out about your feelings for me, I jumped on the opportunity. I sat there watching the conversation from my table. I watched you smile at him and then look over at me and my heart practically soared out of my chest that you might be agreeing to pursue something with me. And then your face fell and you looked over at me again, but this time with a little more scorn in it, and then you and Neal just kept talking and talking, and the longer I sat there the more I felt like the biggest fool just sitting there. I could tell your affections had shifted. And then Neal came back over to me after you’d finished talking and told me how you’d really been flirting with him and that you’d agreed to go on a date with him, and better luck next time.” Killian hadn’t looked at her throughout the entire part of his story, probably afraid to see her reaction to it. Probably afraid that she would be mocking him in some way since that’s what their relationship had been since she’d been with Neal, and now she understood why.
“But, that’s not what happened,” Emma said with an anguished cry. Killian’s face snapped up toward hers so fast she thought he might have hurt something. “I was flirting with you. I’d been crushing on you so hard. And then you were in the bar. I wanted to come over and talk with you, but I didn’t want to lose the table I was saving for my friends. When Neal came over, I thought maybe you’d sent him instead. But then he told me that you hadn’t been flirting, that I must have misinterpreted. That you had been with your girlfriend, Milah, for a while now, and could I possibly consider getting to know him and go out on a date with him instead. And I felt like the biggest fool,” she said repeating his words back to him, “but Neal was cute and nice and I thought, why not. And then he brought me to that party and Milah was all over you and that just confirmed to me that everything I thought had been happening between us was just in my head, so I agreed to be Neal’s girlfriend that night.” A thought struck her and she gasped.
“That’s why you’ve been so mean to me? You thought I rejected you for Neal?” She felt horrible now, knowing the truth.
“Aye,” he said, scratching that area behind his ear again. “I admit, I didn’t deal with my feelings about being rejected that well. And the fact that you never said anything about it perturbed me too.”
“He played us both. He was supposed to be your friend and instead he screwed you for a girl.” Emma had thought she’d been pissed at Neal when she’d discovered he’d been cheating, but now she was angrier than she’d ever thought she could be. Neal was the worst of the worst. And to top it all off, he had stopped whatever could have potentially happened between her and Killian from happening.
“It was part of why I moved out. Besides suspecting him of cheating on the most glorious woman I’d ever laid eyes on, I just couldn’t see you two together anymore. It hurt too much.” He gave a shy smile which looked odd on his ruggish face.
“Ugh! Neal is the biggest asshole ever. What the hell did I ever see in him?” Emma asked.
“You see what you want to see when you’re in love,” Killian answered. Emma bit her lip, replaying everything she’d just learned. The last three years had been built on a lie. Neal was the biggest asshole to the tenth degree and Killian was sitting here looking at her as if she hung the moon.
Killian was looking like a man in love.
Emma had thought he was cute back in their freshman year when he’d still had lanky limbs that didn’t seem to fit his body and could barely grow facial hair. And now here he was sitting in front her, his body lean and muscular, beautiful scruff covering the lower half of his face, and a thatch of chest hair sitting exposed from where he’d unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt (something she always had complained to Neal about when she thought she hated him, but she’d really always wanted to run her fingers through it). She looked up into his eyes and noticed that they were practically black. Only a sliver of blue iris ringed the outside of the pupil. Emma could feel her heart starting to pound in her chest. She’d hated him until only mere minutes ago, hadn’t she? Until the revelation of Neal’s manipulation had come to light. Or had she simply been masking her feelings by engaging in his hateful banter? It only took a split second for her to decide what to do.
She grabbed him by the lapels of his shirt and hauled his lips to hers. If Killian seemed surprised by this turn of events, he didn’t show it all, as he immediately started kissing her back. His scruff on her chin felt delightful, his lips were soft on hers, and his hand had threaded its way into her hair and the slight pull felt amazing. She ran her hands through his hair and reveled at how soft it felt. She broke the kiss for a moment to get some air, their foreheads resting against each other, both of them panting.
“That was…” he began.
“Long overdue,” Emma finished before she went in for another kiss. But Killian stopped her before her lips could reach his. Her heart was pounding in her ears, but for a totally different reason than it was before. She couldn’t have possibly misread the situation again.
“You don’t want me anymore,” she stated softly, pulling away from him before she could embarrass herself any further. But he wouldn’t let her out of his grip.
“On the contrary, I want you very much.” Emma bit her lip and couldn’t stop the smile that overcame her lips. “I just…” he huffed, most likely trying to find the right words to say what he wanted without offending her. “We’ve spent the last three years believing we hated each other, and I just want to make sure this isn’t a one time thing, because I never hated you, Emma.” The sound of her name, and not Swan, did things to her that she never knew just a voice could do. She gently cupped his face in her hand and gave a chaste kiss to his cheek. 
“Killian, I fully intend for this to be more than a one time thing. So please, just kiss me again?” And with that, he surged forward and gave in to her request. 
This kiss was nothing like the last one. This one was full of want, passion, and love (yes, love; Emma may have still loathed him earlier tonight, but she would be the first to admit that there was a thin line between love and hate, and it had now been crossed).
Killian started peppering her jaw with kisses, finding a particular spot right before her ear which made her moan with pure lust. “Swan,” he growled into her ear, his breath making her whole body shiver, “you can’t even imagine how long I’ve wanted to hear you make those noises because of me.” He bit down on her ear lobe, soothing it with his tongue as she made another obscene noise that in all her time with Neal she’d never heard herself make. “Do you know what it does to a man when the object of his desire is getting off by someone else in the next room with thin walls? It was absolute torture.” He moved back down her jaw, kissing her lips again before moving to the other side. 
“In all honesty, you mostly heard me faking it,” Emma laughed. She honestly never knew it could feel this good and they were only kissing.
Killian pulled away from the ear he’d been sucking on and faced her with a troubled look. “Please tell me my former prick of a roommate gave you some orgasms during your tenure together?” Emma almost laughed at the level of concern on his face, but she knew he was being serious so she held it in. 
“I mean, he gave me some,” she shrugged. “But he was the only guy I’d ever been with, so I don’t really have a lot to compare him to.” Killian looked even more insulted at that statement. 
“Swan,” Killian said, grabbing her hands. “You are a goddess and I’ll show you how you should be worshipped properly.” He punctuated this statement with another bruising kiss. 
Emma sat slack jawed at his words. Never had anyone spoken to her like Killian did. Like she was worthy of being ‘worshipped’ as he’d put it. So she just nodded in agreement. 
“Emma --”
“Killian --”
They both gave a small laugh having spoken at the same time. 
“Emma, I just want you to know that no matter what happens tonight, I want to be whatever you want us to be. Whatever we become is as much up to you as it is to me.” So much more romantic than Neal’s ‘So I wanna if you wanna,’ Emma thought.
“Are you trying to make sure I’m okay with this, Killian? Because I am. I liked you back before Neal, and I thought I’d been wrong about you being this nice guy, but I still always had a thing for you, even when we were... mortal enemies.” More laughter emanated from them. “But I want this. I really want this.” She took her free hand and moved a piece of hair that was dangling over his eye away. “And I want to explore what could’ve been if He Who Shall Not Be Named hadn’t interfered for his own selfish reasons.” They both smiled at that. Emma could see his blue eyes twinkling. She thought he was going to kiss her again, but he let go of her hand and got up off the bed and motioned for her to do the same. Emma was confused until he began turning the bed down for them to get more comfortable.
“Oh, so now you’re a gentleman?” she asked jokingly.
“I’m always a gentleman,” he replied back. And then he grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a kiss. “But right now, I want to tear off this ridiculous comforter,” Killian ripped it off the bed revealing the normal looking sheets underneath, “so I can get you into that bed, tear off all your clothes, and hear you scream my name.” He growled into her ear as he tongued it. His voice went straight to her clit and she swore she might come from his voice alone. 
Killian moved her hair off her shoulder as his lips began their assault on it. Emma had never been so glad she’d chosen the off-the-shoulder top she was wearing for the party that night. She started to unbutton her blouse to move things along, but Killian swatted her hands away. 
“No, Swan. I will not have you ruining my fun by having you undress yourself. I intend to unwrap you myself. I’ve waited too long for this to be a quick fuck.” Emma shivered at his words. Never in a million years would she have thought Killian would have been a dirty talker. And she never realized that it would turn her on so much. 
His scruff was scratching her neck in the best way as his lips went back to her neck. Her hands went to the thatch of hair peeking out from the top of his shirt and Emma decided that if she wasn’t allowed to unbutton her top, she could certainly start unbuttoning his. The chest hair was something she’d always wanted to run her fingers through. With every button she opened, more and more hair was revealed. She ran her fingers through it as Killian moved back to her mouth. 
“Please, Killian,” she begged as she got to the last button on his shirt. He removed his arms from the sleeves while still keeping his lips on hers, although she could feel him smile as she begged. He continued to unbutton her blouse with his deft fingers and discarded her shirt onto the floor.
“Better?” he asked, quirking an eyebrow in the sexiest way she’d ever seen. 
“Not even close,” she panted. The black, strapless lace bra she was wearing felt too constricting, and as much as Killian had wanted to ‘unwrap’ her himself, she reached behind her back to unhook the offending material. The eyebrow raised again as he stepped back to see what she had done, but then his eyes widened when he saw what was underneath her bra.
“You’re absolutely stunning, Emma,” Killian whispered in awe and before she could say anything back, he started kissing her again. This time, Emma pulled him down onto the bed with her. They found a comfortable position with her on her back and him between her thighs. His lips seemed to be everywhere: lips, jaw, neck, collarbone. He was kissing a path down to her breasts and she was rubbing her jeans against the large bulge she could feel through his.
“Someone is impatient,” he smirked into the top of her breast before his teeth clamped down over her nipple.
“Fuck, Killian!” she said as he immediately laved his tongue over the now peaked nipple. The smirk returned.
“All in good time.” He moved over to the other nipple and repeated the same movements with his teeth and tongue. Emma had never felt these feelings before. Neal had barely done any foreplay, and Emma, having not been that experienced, just figured that was normal. Now she was mentally berating herself for missing out on this the past few years. But she needed to stop thinking about Neal when she had Killian’s mouth heading south. His tongue dipped into her navel and Emma swore she was going to come before he even got her jeans off. She never knew someone’s tongue could feel that erotic on her skin.
“Is this okay?” Killian asked as his fingers came up to the button on her jeans. Emma could only nod, her mouth not seeming to work. He popped the button and Emma lifted up her ass so Killian could slide her jeans and underwear down (just plain cotton which she was highly regretting right now; at least she’d had the forethought to shave before the party). He continued to kiss down her body as her jeans slid off, leaving her completely nude. For the first time that night, Emma began to feel self conscious about the position she was in. She and Killian had hated each other up until an hour ago, was it really prudent of her to sleep with him already? Maybe they should slow things down. She was just about to voice this when his tongue made contact with her clit and all rational thought went out the window.
“Oh, God!” she screamed and her hands involuntarily went to his lucious, brown locks and pulled him even closer.
“Killian will do,” he said, smiling into her. “So wet for me, Swan.” He began licking her like a man possessed and Emma had never been this crazed from oral sex in her life. She was pretty much fucking his face and Killian seemed to be enjoying it. He sucked her clit between his lips and Emma knew she was so close. Killian took his pointer and middle fingers and slipped them into her wet heat, thrusting them back and forth until he finally found the spot that would make her come undone. “Come for me, Swan,” he growled in a commanding tone. He gave one final suck and her body exploded. 
Emma knew she was mumbling nonsensical words as Killian continued to lick and pump his fingers more slowly now, bringing her down from her high. Never in all her life, not by her own hand or any other boy’s (because that’s what they all were, boys) had she ever had an orgasm so strong. Emma was vaguely aware that Killian was now kissing back up her body: a small nip to her hip, his tongue licking a stripe up the side of her stomach, his teeth grazing the side of her breast. His hand was still in between her legs easing her down from her intense orgasm.
“Oh my fucking God, Killian!” she panted out, her heart still beating frantically in her chest.
“Sounds like you enjoyed that.” He smirked. That smirk always used to annoy her, but now it was the sexiest thing Emma had ever seen. She grabbed Killian by the hair and crashed her lips onto his. She could taste her essence on his lips and it was intoxicating. Emma never thought she would be turned on by that. She was learning a lot about herself tonight. Like the fact that she was completely nude and Killian was still half dressed.
“Lose the pants, Killian.” She’d found her way to the tip of his pointed ear. Another thing she’d always found annoying about him and now she found hot as fuck.
“As the lady wishes.” He stood up and began to unbutton his pants as Emma started stroking his chest hair. He was wearing a pair of black boxer briefs underneath that did nothing to hide his erection and for the first time, Emma realized that all the sexual innuendos he’d dropped over the years were not because he was compensating for something. He could really back up everything.
“Fuck, Killian!” Emma breathed out as he pulled his boxer briefs down to meet his pants that were at his knees. Emma knelt down to pull them off the rest of the way, Killian watching her intensely, and found herself eye to ….cock. He was so much bigger than Neal, and it was nicer looking, what with the manscaping he’d obviously done. Neal had just been a hairy mess. But Killian, well, Emma never thought she’d describe a man’s penis as beautiful, but that’s what this was. She gently brushed her thumb over the tip, a hiss emanating from Killian’s lips as he sat back on the bed. She wrapped her small hand around it and looked up at him. “Is this okay?” She echoed back his words from before, and just as she had, he nodded, too much in awe that this was actually happening.
Emma pumped him up and down slowly, her thumb grazing the tip each time. His shaft was velvety smooth under her touch. She was gearing herself up to lick him; it was not something she had particularly enjoyed doing for Neal. Killian must have sensed her hesitation because the next thing she knew, he was hauling her up into his lap. She immediately became wetter the moment his cock rubbed against her already damp folds.
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to, love.” He brushed a stray piece of hair behind her ear before kissing her again. “Besides, if you put your mouth on me, I’d probably finish there and I want to feel you around me.” Emma could feel her cheeks redden, but then started rubbing herself against him. The noise Killian made was probably the most amazing noise she’d ever heard and she doubled her efforts rubbing against him just to hear him make it again.
“One moment,” he said, maneuvering himself to grab his pants. He quickly pulled out his wallet and grabbed the foil-wrapped condom from inside, then deposited his wallet back in his pants before dropping them back on the floor. Emma was busy giving sloppy kisses along the column of his neck when she heard the foil rip, and she lifted up slightly so his cock stood in between them looking red and angry. Emma had never seen an erection look so hard. She plucked the condom from his hand and pulled it down herself (and honestly, she never thought putting a condom on could be so damn sexy).
“Ready, Swan?” he asked. Emma didn’t even give a verbal answer. She grabbed his cock, lifted herself over it, and slowly sank down on him, adjusting to his length and girth.
“Fuck!” she moaned when he was finally seated completely within her. Killian kissed her passionately, his tongue plunging into the depth of her mouth and tangling with hers. She tugged on his lower lip with her teeth, and she could swear she felt him get even harder inside her.
“You need to move, Swan,” he bit out. Emma lifted herself up, and slammed back down on him. God, she’d never felt so full in her life. She never wanted this feeling to end. She continued to fuck herself on him, her hands on his shoulders to lift herself up higher, his hands under her ass to do the same. She’d never fucked anyone like this before. Neal had always insisted on missionary style, which Emma was now realizing was probably the only way he could get off. This position felt fucking amazing and she was pissed at herself for never trying it before. But she needed something more.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” she screamed as his hand moved from her ass to in between them and made contact with her clit. That was exactly what she needed. He continued to rub it as hard as he could. It was too much, yet not enough. She was almost there.
“Let go, Emma. I promise I’ll catch you.” And that was all it took. Emma lifted up off him completely and had the most fucking intense orgasm she’d ever had in her life. Even more powerful than the one he’d brought her to before. Everything seemed to go black and then next thing she knew, Killian had turned them over so she was on her back and he thrust himself back inside her. 
Emma didn’t even get to contemplate how fast he’d changed their position when another orgasm rocked her due to the angle of his cock inside her and a well placed thumb on her already swollen clit. “Killian!” she screamed, her voice starting to feel hoarse from all the screaming she’d been doing. He rode her out until she finally felt him still and he grunted, emptying himself into the condom.
Killian collapsed on top of her. He was heavy, but Emma decided she didn’t really mind. She liked the way he felt. With Neal, she’d just wanted him off of her right away, mainly because he’d fall asleep almost instantaneously and then she’d be trapped beneath him. Almost as if he was reading her mind, Killian rolled off of her. Emma immediately missed the warmth of him, but he quickly took off the condom, wrapped it in some tissues from the box on the nightstand, and threw it away in the garbage can. Then he pulled her into him so their foreheads were touching, and Emma thought it was the sweetest thing anyone had done for her after sex. She kissed him, a short and sweet kiss, just to let him know that this wasn’t just sex. She hoped that it conveyed what she was too afraid to say. But then, she decided to say it anyway.
“Killian,” she began, “would you like to go out on a date...or something?” she mumbled, her confidence waning after she mentioned the word date.
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you out?” Killian teased as a wide smile graced his handsome face. She blushed. After everything they’d just done and she blushed when he teased her. She had it bad. “Yes, Emma, I would be honored to go out with you. But please let me plan the date,” he said earnestly. How could she resist when he had the puppy dog face going. She kissed him in agreement.
“And now, love,” he said hesitantly, “I think you and I should get out of this bed, considering it doesn’t belong to either of us. And who knows how many other people have used this bed for this exact same purpose.” That made Emma jump up almost immediately. God, she hoped whoever's house this was they washed the sheets before they’d made the bed.
They quickly got their clothes back on (and Emma didn’t even want to think about the mess her hair probably was), and Emma pulled her phone from the back pocket of her jeans that had been discarded, noticing there were a few text messages from Ruby.
“Shit! Ruby’s been trying to get a hold of me. She wanted to leave half an hour ago.” She frantically started texting Ruby to tell her where she was, but Killian took the phone from her hand and deleted the text.
“Tell her you’ve gone home with someone and you’ll see her in the morning.” Emma looked at him quizzically.
“Am I going home with someone?” Killian’s cheeks went red all the way to the tips of his elfin ears and his hand went to the back of his neck.
“Only if the lady would like to.”
Emma debated making him even more nervous, but couldn’t contain herself. “The lady would like to, Killian,” she said, giving a small smile. He took her hand and brought it to his mouth, kissing the knuckles and Emma thought she might melt on the spot. How could she have ever hated him? Oh right, her jerk ex. She quickly sent a text off to Ruby.
He unlocked the door and they stepped out into the, thankfully, empty hallway. They could still hear the party going on downstairs, and lots of moaning coming from the other rooms in the hall. They both gave each other slightly embarrassed grins.
“Come, love, let’s take this somewhere more private,” Killian said smugly; Emma nodded in agreement and they headed down the stairs… and ran smack into Neal.
He looked, if Emma was being honest, like crap. His hair was disheveled, and not in the way Killian’s was looking because of her pulling on it during sex, and there were bags under his eyes, like he hadn’t been sleeping. 
“Emma!” Neal said, his face lighting up. “Boy, am I ever glad to see you.”
“Can’t say the feeling’s mutual,” Emma snapped. The euphoria she had just experienced with Killian was quickly fading into revulsion. She gave Killian’s fingers a quick squeeze so he knew she was not going to let Neal ruin their night. He gave her a squeeze back in understanding.
“Oh, come on Ems, don’t be like that,” he said, flashing that grin that always used to make her weak in the knees. Now it just made her want to vomit. What the hell did she ever see in him? Had she really been that desperate to be loved? Neal reached out to grab her hand and Emma could see the confusion when he realized one hand was occupied, and then the look of realization when he finally noticed Killian standing beside her.
“What the hell is this?” Neal asked angrily, like he had any reason to be angry. “You making a move on my girl, man? I thought we were friends!” Emma actually burst out laughing at that remark. Both Neal and Killian looked at her bewildered.
“First off, Neal,” she said, giving him a fierce push against his chest, her laughter giving way to irritation, “I’m no longer your girl. I haven’t been your girl in six months. And,” she gave him another push, “you were cheating on me for half of our relationship, so I really haven’t been your girl in a long time.”
“Ems, I can explain…”
“No, you can’t explain, Neal. And even if you could, I don’t want to hear it. And as for Killian being your friend,” she gave a glance to Killian and gave him a huge smile before returning her look toward Neal, “friends don’t steal the girl their other friend is interested in and then lie to both of them about it for years.” Another push. Neal’s face went practically white. “Yeah, we figured some things out tonight about the night we met.” She scowled at him to let him know that she meant business.
“I..” But Emma was done with this.
“I don’t want to hear it, Neal.” And with that, she walked past Neal, her hand in Killian’s to really make her point that she was no longer his.
“Your loss, mate,” Killian said with a smirk and gave a salute as Emma pulled him along. They ran out the front door into the cool spring air. When they made it to Killian’s car (a Chevelle that Emma remembered he rebuilt himself) they stopped to catch their breath. Emma could feel Killian’s eyes on her, silently watching her to see her reaction. 
“Emma, I’d understand if we’ve moved too fast and you want to slow things down,” Killian said quickly. It’s as if he’s afraid that if he doesn’t say it fast enough, she’ll say something to end what has barely begun between them. Emma gets it. She walked over to him. He’s busily looking anywhere but at her, while scratching that spot behind his ear. It’s utterly adorable.
“Killian?” She’s standing directly in front of him and the surprise look on his face when he finally does look at her is priceless. “I don’t want this to be a one time thing. And I definitely don’t want to slow things down.” And with that declaration, she grabbed his face, pulled his lips to hers, and kissed him with everything she had in her. It took Killian a moment to catch up with her, his lips finally kissing hers back after a slight gasp of surprise into her mouth that made her smile, almost giggle even. 
They finally separated and got into Killian’s car, both of them quietly contemplating, with anticipation, what the future held for them as they drove silently back to his apartment.
 In the morning, Emma expected to feel the urge to run, to feel they moved too fast. But she doesn’t feel any of that. He pulled her in tight in his half asleep state, making her feel safe as she cuddled into his chest, and Emma wondered how she ever could have hated him the way she thought she did.

It was obvious how tense and awkward jaemin was the entire time you stayed at his house, which lasted longer than you thought. You stayed for two days, per jaemins request, and you thought what if he's finally angry and decides to break. No, it was the complete and utter opposite. Jaemin was sweet, something you've barely seen when he used to bully or make fun of you before all this happened. He made sure you were okay staying with him another night and took care of you when you weren't hungover.
Did anything special happen though? Nope, just you and jaemin cuddling every so often while binge watching Netflix shows while he sometimes cracked jokes here and there.
It was definitely a sight to see. Even made you wonder if this is what its like to date him.
"Nana," you spoke, jaemin lifting his head off your shoulders to give you his attention, "Get up, we need to go to school."
Jaemin groaned, putting his head down on your pillow like chest and began, "Can't we just skip school?" He whined, "Maybe play a bit too?" Jaemin lifted his chin up, placing it on top of your breasts as he pouted, waiting for you to give into his cuteness.
Wouldn't that be nice- but you weren't going to miss school to mess around with jaemin. No way. You weren't even his girlfriend yet and you were sure his little play thing, seulgi, wouldn't be too happy, shes been calling him since he brought you here.
"No." You grabbed him by his hair and peeled him off your body. Jaemin wasn't very amused by the action.
"Oh i get it." He mumbled, "You want to see jeno, right?"
The question caught you off guard. But jaemin being jealous wasn't unknown to you anymore. He was possessive, that much you knew, and he always found a way to guilt trip you about it.
"I mean, we have been talking a lot more so a lil bit." You smiled, earning an eye roll from jaemin as he got up with nothing else to say and stalked his closet for something to wear. You glanced at your clothes which were actually his. And since you never went back to your apartment to get another outfit, you had to wear what you wore at the party.
Eyes stared into your bare back after you threw off the shirt that covered your body. They lingered, but didn't settle on staying until you slipped the bralette on.
Jaemin was going to comment about it, yet kept his mouth shut because there was no use saying he could give you a t-shirt instead, youd just complain about how it didn't match.
But the skirt was a different story. It was a party skirt, something way too short for school. No wonder jeno liked it. And to be honest, jaemin didn't hate it himself, he'd just rather not have people like jeno staring at you and your thighs. You were his. At least in his head you were.
"Fuck!" You screamed, "My bags at home." Softening your voice, jaemin just about wanted to smack you for scaring the shit out of him. He actually thanked the heavens your bag wasn't here, it gave you a reason to change.
"Let's go to your place quickly before school starts." Jaemin grabbed his things and you nodded, following behind him almost speed walking because of how long his strides were. "And change when we get there too."
You looked down at your fit and hummed, stepping into the car ready for jaemin to go.
Tumblr media
"I don't think I can handle trig anymore." You bit your lip at the paper in hand. Jaemin looked down over your shoulder and almost scoffed. It was the homework due today, of course it was also one of the hardest pages the professor had given the class too, making it ten times harder for you to finish.
"If you had come over these past few nights, you wouldn't be so stressed." Jaemin shrugged.
It was like you knew he would say that with the way you rolled your eyes and crumpled the paper up, "Im actually thinking of dropping that class." You stated.
"Dont." He rested a hand on your shoulder, "Come over later and I'll help you." It wasn't even a question, in fact it was him telling you to do something. Its clear jaemins had enough of you ignoring him and hes also fed up with your complaining. Even wondered why you held out this long.
"But-"
"I'm not taking no for an answer anymore." Jaemin stated sternly as he sighed, stopping in front of your classroom and put his hands in his pocket. "Stop trying to ignore me," he leaned forward, just inches away from your face, "its not working."
"Just because you think its not working doesn't mean its not working...." You tilted your head to the side questioning your own words, "Anyway, you're jealous." Crossing your arms and leaning against the wall, your ego fed off of jaemins glaring eyes.
"Bullshit," jaemin tsked, "why would I be jealous?"
You smirked despite knowing you were playing a dangerous game with him. And jaemins good at playing games, he's done it to you for years.
You took a step forward, ultimately getting closer to his still leaned over figure and said, "You kept staring at jeno and I at the cafe and you had an attitude the entire time. Its obvious you know." Slithering a hand up his cheek, you pinched his smooth skin, "Nanas jealous."
It was an understatement to say jaemin didn't feel shivers go up his spine from your low voice. For once jaemin didn't have anything to come up with. Nothing crossed his mind to tell you that what you saw of him wasn't him being jealous, but that would be the dumbest of lies.
"Quiet for once? That's a first." You snickered at the small shade of red on his cheeks. It was either anger or him actually getting flustered. Either way you still claimed victory for keeping him surprisingly quiet.
Jaemin pulled your hand away from his face and opened his mouth, "Admit that you're purposely doing it then. There's no way you and jeno are magically good friends now. You hate him just as much as you hated me."
"Im not purposely making you jealous," you lied, "And I never hated jeno, just strongly disliked him for being friends with you."
The older almost laughed in your face from how stupid your lie was. "If you want my attention, say it." He smirked, proceeding to push you against the wall behind you without a second thought making you uncross your arms, "Its not hard y/n."
His hands trailed down to your waist, intensly watching your face as you looked around him, afraid that what he'd do will go too far and some students will see a not so innocent sight.
"Youre full of yourself." You inhaled sharply as he leaned forward ever so closely, just barely brushing his lips over yours.
"And you'll be full of nana soon." Jaemin almost closed the space between you with his lips, but someone stopped him.
"Jaemin!!!" Seulgi came running up to jaemin in her cute high heeled shoes. Her hair bouncing perfectly against her back as she pulled him away from you and into a hug, not before she planted a kiss to his lips as if you weren't standing right there, "I haven't seen you in so long, babe. You didn't call." She pouted with more puppy eyes than normal.
You missed the way jaemin growled at her, almost throwing seulgi off him since you were so focused on them kissing. Never did you think you'd witness it either. Something about it made your stomach churn and you couldnt bare stand there for long before walking away, taking zero notice of the way jaemin called out for you.
"Let's get some coffee before the bell rings." Seulgi pulled jaemin, but his eyes still lingered on the door you entered.
Tumblr media
You couldnt stop your mind from racing in class. It was like your mind was playing games on you, telling you that jaemin wasn't in the slightest interested in you and thats why he never answered you, because he was too embarrassed to be seen with someone like you.
But that was only you overthinking.
Obviously jaemin cared for you, he wouldnt have let you stay over his house, tutored you, or be possessive when it came to you. So why did he kiss her back? In front of you too? Was he actually dating her for real?
These questions ran through your head, giving you a mini headache from thinking too hard about it.
It was like you were in high school all over again where everything was dramatic for no reason, well in some aspects you made it this way, but your point still stands.
"Y/n," someone tapped the table repeatedly, bringing you back to reality, "Class is over." jeno looked at you with suspicion but brushed it off thinking you were probably tired.
You glanced around the empty room before looking back at jeno, "Oh...yeah."
"Well uh," he scratched the back of his head, "You should probably get to your next class."
That's the last thing you wanted to do. Jaemin would be there and so was one of seulgis minions that always kept an eye out for anything he did. As annoying as it was, you weren't surprised anymore.
"Im gonna skip."
Jeno grimaced as you stood up and grabbed your things, walking towards the rooms exit as he followed close behind, "You? Skip? What the fuck??"
You stopped in your tracks, jeno almost bumbing into you in the process, "Do I need to spell it out for you or something? S-k-"
"No shut up. Its just shocking that your skipping." Jeno half grinned at the way you stared at him stoically.
"What are you getting at?"
The man before you chuckled, "Im saying youre a goody two shoes and you've never done a bad thing in your life."
You can't say he was wrong, but you also have to admit that you have stepped out of your shell recently and maybe for the better.
"Everyone changes some time in their lives." You pointed out, strolling out of the class to nowhere specific. "Better run to class jeno, dont want the teacher calling you put again."
"Yeah yeah." He eye smiled, giving you a quick pat on the back before saying bye and walking to his class.
You couldnt help but smile at him as he moved further and further away. You had to admit, jeno wasn't as bad as you thought. Not anymore anyway. But as jeno soon disappeared around a corner, you sighed and sauntered to the library where you were going to do your work until class ended.
Students were scattered everywhere in the library, some typing away at their laptops or school computers while others had papers and books sprawled out in front of them. Unfortunately for you, you were going to be the ones with almost any school supply in front of them. And with a sigh and slouched shoulders, you sat at an empty desk near the front of the library, taking your homework out as well as some books.
Normally it wouldn't be a problem for you to focus, but it was stressful with so many things laid out for you. Face palming and groaning quietly at your trig paper, you attempted the first problem which honestly didn't seem too bad, but you weren't always so sure of yourself when doing these kinds of things. Mostly because you second guessed yourself making you pick the wrong answer when you were originally right.
"This is so fucking stupid." You threw your head into your hands, giving up on trying since it was useless anyway. You needed jaemin. He was the only reason you started getting some good grades on your work.
"Whats stupid?"
Speak of the devil.
"The trig home- wait why aren't you in class?" You gazed at him before averting your eyes, not trying to let them linger too long.
Jaemin pulled a chair out and sat closely beside you, raising a brow as you inched away from him. "I could ask you the same thing." He tipped the chair back a little, keeping his eyes locked on the side of your stoic face.
"Im doing something if you can't tell." You snapped, instantly regretting the way your voice raised once you noticed jaemin clenching his jaw out the corner of your eye. But you couldnt help it, you were still frustrated, embarrassed, and jealous from earlier.
"Whats wrong?" Jaemin calmed himself, not wanting to blow up at you.
"Nothing." You ignored his eyes that watched you do out the problem. Probably silently telling you that it was all wrong but you weren't trying to pay attention to him.
"Youre doing it again."
"Doing what? I'm just trying to do my work." After writing your answer down, you checked over tbe work before you smiled to yourself. This had to be the right answer.
"Stop playing dumb." he grabbed your chin, "You know what you're doing."
Wiggling out of his grasp was no use, jaemin managed to move his hand to your jaw to keep you still.
You winced at the sudden squeeze, "I dont know what you're talking about."
Jaemin had enough of this bullshit, now grabbing your neck instead. Your eyes wondered the room hoping no one was paying attention, "Im not playing games with you. Why are you ignoring me again?"
"That's a good question." You looked away and though jaemims grip was starting to hurt more each second, you still found a way to show your disinterest.
Jaemin sighed, letting his hand drop and you inhaled deeply without a second thought. "Whats wrong then?"
"I told you its nothing."
"Bullshit." Jaemin took the pencil out of your hand just as you were about to write, your hand flying up to try and take it back but he pulled away.
"You really wanna know then?" You asked sharply to which jaemin nodded, "You kissed seulgi. Happy now?"
Jaemins mouth fell at your confession. Yes he figured that upset you a bit, but he never thought it was enough for you to ignore him.
"I never even went that far with jeno."
"Never went that far, huh?" He snapped back, shaking his head in disbelief as his face once again was steaming with anger. "Need i remind you how you made out with him at the party. Or were you that wasted and cant remember?"
The new found anger overlapped the previous one with more than just anger, but annoyance. There was no way jaemin was telling the truth, you would never kiss jeno.
"No i didnt."
"Dont tell me you didn't, I fucking saw it." His hand found its way on the table creating a loud bam that startled not only you, but a few kids that even lifted their heads to see what caused the noise. "You were the first one to go that far, so blame yourself before you blame me."
Taking a deep breath, you had to calm down before you said something you'd regret. Knowing jaemin too, you already had something waiting for you at his house.
"I believe you." Jaemin was ready to open his mouth but you were quick and responded, "because i remember." The problem with this answer was because it was untruthful. You already dug yourself a whole from the beginning yet you knew what you were getting yourself into. There was something about playing with jaemins anger that made you go wild.
Determined with your lie, you kept the straightest face like it was proof you recalled that night. Jaemin too was focused only on your face, his hand balling into a fist ever so slowly.
"I remember....he was a really good kisser," you whispered, "And you looked so mad." Snickering away at your words, you placed a hand on jaemins lap and watched his expression go from anger to almost frothing at the mouth.
Bingo. He was too far gone to see through you at this point and this is where you smirked to yourself.
"You're unbelievable." He scoffed, rolling his eyes thinking about how fed up he was, "Lets go."
Despite being told what to do, you sat looking between jaemin and your sprawled out homework. "I have things to do."
Jaemin literally shoved all your papers into your bag, not caring how they crumpled in the small space as you complained and swatted at his arm. Of course though, jaemin payed no mind to it, grabbing your hand and bag before dragging you out of the library.
You fought and struggled to get out of his grip. From the start you knew what you were getting into, that's why you did what you did. Now being dragged to his house it dawned on you that it was time to suffer whatever he had in mind.
"When we get to my house," jaemin locked his eyes with yours as he led you to his car, "We'll study trig, and depending on my mood and your attitude after, I might go easy with the punishment later."
"Im not going over to study and then be punished afterwards." Your voice faltered as you saw a familiar someone walking towards you and jaemin.
Jenos eyes lit up sadistically, smiling at you, telling you to smile back for one reason: to set jaemin off.
You did without hesitation, jaemins hold getting tighter and tighter as he glared at his best friend who walked by, holding the proudest grin on his face.
Once at the car, jaemin shoved you inside the passenger seat, slamming the door before he situated himself in the drivers side. Your eyes watched in annoyance yet you were intrigued. Maybe because you haven't had any action with jaemin since about a week ago.
Resting your head against the headrest, you stared outside the window. There wasn't any way you could hold another conversation with the man, it would only drive your hormones insane.
Tumblr media
Its been thirty minutes and to say you were paying attention would be the stupidest thing ever. every word that jaemin said went in one ear and out the other. Some part of you was purposely choosing to ignore him, but your attention span was almost non existent in the first place. So listening to jaemin talk about trigonometry was only boring you.
You tapped out, playing with your pencil or doodling on the paper. Each time you weren't paying attention, jaemin would ask you to write down the answer or a land a slap right on your thigh. It stung and made up jump with shock in your eyes as jaemin told you the same thing each time: "pay attention." But did you? God no. It was impossible. With the thought of a punishment too, it made your mind run like it was in a marathon.
"Little girl," jaemins voice once again brought you back to reality, "what did nana just say?" You shrugged your shoulders slightly, keeping your head down like you were shy yet you were far from it, holding a small grin on your innocent face.
"I dont know, nor do I care." You finally looked up. Jaemin was none too happy, letting his chest fall.
Shaking his head, he said once more to listen and pay attention.
Jaemin took your pencil so he could write out the problem for you, deciding to be nice even though you weren't returning it. You watched the way his pretty hands flexed with every number or letter he wrote. The subtle veins showing every so often too made you almost drool at the sight. Oh what you would do to have him wrap his hands around your neck again.
"Solve it." Jaemin threw the pencil down in front of you, resting his head in his hand to watch you. But you didn't move, not even a simple budge.
"No."
"Y/n its not that fucking hard, just solve it."
You glanced at the paper then the pencil that laid on the table before grabbing it and snapping it in half.
"Im not doing it." You faked a smile, ready for jaemin to snap just like the pencil.
"You need to pass this class, y/n. Stop messing around and pay attention."
You shot up from your seat, "I. Dont. Care. I'm going home."
It wasn't long before he suddenly stood up too, grabbing you by the hair and threw you on his bed, "Okay you wanna act up?" He hovered over you, pinning your arms down on the soft bed as he straddled your lower half. "I dont get why you continue to act like a brat when you know you're going to be punished. Unless you want it?" Jaemins face was merely inches in front of yours not until you blew into his face and smirked when he flinched and pulled away.
"Ever wonder why I act this way? Your easy to push, I can get in your head and make you get mad so I get exactly what I want." You snickered, "Not to mention its to make you suffer for not answering my question." A hand was placed on his covered chest, rubbing small circles on the fabric of the shirt.
Suddenly, jaemin laughed. Though, it wasn't a joyful one. It was more sadistic and filled with amusement, "How is it making me suffer if you're the one about to be punished?"
"Cuz i still get what I want in the end."
"My dick or my attention?"
"Both."
Jaemnn chuckled dryly, quickly sitting back and tearing your clothes off without a second thought.
You were ready to protest about your clothes until jaemin took matters in his own hands and shoved his fingers nearly down your throat to shut you up.
"Im tired of your voice." He spat, "All you talk is shit."
Whimpering around his fingers, you tried anything in your power to try and pry them out. He never moved back, sticking his fingers deeper and deeper until he heard you gag and whine the best you could. Your throat felt so tight and it was getting harder to breathe. Jaemin didn't care, deciding to just fuck your mouth with his fingers as he started pulling your pants and panties down, lifting his hips up so he can take them off all the way.
"It would be so much nicer if you weren't a brat you know." Jaemin began, easily shoving two fingers inside your dripping cunt, "Nana could've stuffed you full of his cock, made love to you, and made you happy. Instead," his fingers that were buried in your heat, curled and pushed in a certain way that made your eyes roll, "You wanted to be a little bitch."
You drew out a long hum, the pleasure felt so good after pushing jaemin for so long. All his anger was going to this one punishment and you should've felt scared, but you weren't. You were excited and loved every bit of it.
The way he fingered you was almost too surreal. It made your body crumple against his will and he wasn't even fucking you yet.
It was getting harder to breathe being filled by his two fingers. Just barely becoming too overwhelming so you tapped his hand to signal you needed to breathe. Jaemin took his hand out, watching your face to make sure you were okay as you gasped for air.
"Are y-you try-trying to kill me or s-something?" You moaned at one particular hard thrust that made your breath hitch.
"Oh shut up, I know you liked it. Probably imagined my cock down your throat." He bit his lip, taking in the thought of what you would look like on your knees for him before shaking it off.
"I-i was n-not."
Jaemin smirked devishly, scissoring his fingers to stretch you out more, but you kept clenching around him. Your hand grabbed his wrists in a death grip, moans fell from your open mouth and jaemin ate that all up. Loving how your body shook, knowing you were so close.
Right when you felt your orgasm coming, jaemin ripped his fingers out of you, essentially letting your juices flow out. But you didn't cum, no you were just that wet.
Your hips lifted up like you would get friction but there was nothing to get friction from, you looked dumb and pathetic.
"Not fair..." you mumbled, frowning at the annoying smirk on jaemins face.
"Punishments aren't supposed to be fair," he said a matter of factly, pushing your hips back down on your bed as he grazed his fingers over your wetness before pushing back in again.
This time setting a ruthless pace, taking in your fucked out expression.
"Jaemin- please im s-so close." Fidgeting and clawing at his wrists, the orgasm built back up. It got closer, closer, closer. Right there, it was right there, but jaemin took it away from you again.
"God, I love this way more than I should. Breaking a brat is so much fun." His fingers dripped with your arousal. He stared at the strand connecting his fingers. It was so much and so lewd, it should've been embarrassing to you yet it made him want more from you. "How many times should nana edge his pretty girl? Maybe-"
"Fuck you." You cried, ready to take this into your own hands and finish yourself off.
Jaemins hand made a perfect necklace on your neck, tightening his grip on the sides so you felt all his anger, "Thats the last thing I would say if I were you."
"W-what are y-you gonna do? Spank me?" Thinking he actually would if you said that, you were slapped across the face, eyes not staring at jaemin anymore but the wall next to the bed.
"Dont test me anymore, your already in for it." He growled into your ear. Leaving his hand wrapped around your neck, he slipped back inside, this time fucking his fingers into you at an antagonizing slow pace.
You wanted to scream and push him away for being a tease, but you reminded yourself that this is what you wanted, this was what you'll get. You had no idea how long this pain will continue though. All you could think about was cumming. In fact, that was the only thing on your mind as he fingered your tight pussy. The pain of not being able to orgasm was so unbearable, it just about made your eyes tear up. Were you that desperate that you'd cry over it?
"I wanna...c-cum so bad..."
The man above you stared at you in disbelief. He basically just started and you were already a mess.
"You really want to cum that badly?" You nodded hastily, tears at the brink of falling, you couldnt hold it in anymore, "Then apologize for all the shit you put us through. Starting with you ignoring me, fake dating jeno, and purposely pissing me off for the hell of it." Jaemin said with his whole chest. Being able to say it out loud reminded him of everything. From the time you started this crap, to now.
"I-im sorry- I'm so f-fucking sorry, jaemin." You forced yourself to look into his eyes, his angry red eyes that tore into your soul to find any lie, yet you had none. You meant what you said with full honesty, "Please nana, l-let me cum."
Jaemin simply gave you a nod and thats when you let everything out. You came all over his fingers but jaemin didn't stop nor slow down. He kept the same rough pace as before and you could only scream and cry from the sensitivity.
Then jaemin started rubbing and pinching your sensitive clit before giving your cunt a slap that made you jolt and cry out.
"Ahh- w-wait jae-mmm....s-so sensitive."
Jaemin rolled his eyes, "thought you wanted to cum? I'm giving you what you want, babe."
Your legs closed around his fingers though it didn't stop him from curling and fucking them inside. He could just easily push them open yet he found your sensitivity amusing which led you to cum again without warning.
"What a pathetic little fucking brat you are." He gathered the white substance that leaked from your clentching hole and shoved it back in, "Making such a mess of yourself."
Your back arched, even more sensitive than before.
The hand on your neck moved down to your breast, squeezing at your nipples and playing with everything he could get his hand on. Your nipples were so sensitive that that alone could make you cry and moan just from a simple touch.
His fingers brushed against your sweet spot where you screamed his name. Being over sensitive made everything feel more pleasurable and painful. Every small touch on your pussy brought you to a shaking pleasure that you couldnt control. It was becoming too much and too overwhelming.
"Fuck, are you gonna cum again? It hasn't even been five minutes." He watched, eyes filled with amazement as you shook and once again, came on his sheets and fingers.
Your shaking didn't stop though, it was like the kind of shake you get when your cold, though you were far from it. The intensity of this orgasm was just too much where even jaemin had to pull his fingers out and let you breathe for a moment.
"You okay, baby?" He asked quietly, kissing your temple as you nodded your head, "Can you give nana one more then?" Not wanting to stop, you nodded without a thought causing jaemin to smile and lean back.
Jaemin finally got rid of his clothing, crawling back on the bed before giving you a kiss so you wouldn't notice how he slipped his cock inside.
Surprisingly jaemin took his time pushing in, savoring your sweet little moans that drove him crazy. He started and kept a slow pace that made the overwhelming feeling dissolve away. Now you were wrapping your legs around his waist and staring into the soft eyes of jaemins that were just red a second ago.
Every vein against your walls made you feel ecstasy. Jaemin was careful with each thrust and it felt like pure love. They were passionate and he didn't fail to show it.
"Taking nanas cock so well, just like the good girl you are." Jaemin smiled at your beautiful face that contorted into pleasure. Both of your moans filled the room. More cuss words were thrown from you like it was the only thing in your dictionary.
The lewd sounds of your bodys bounced off the walls as jaemin fucked you slow and steady, grabbing your hips gently as he kissed all over your face, neck, and breasts. He sucked on your skin here and there, creating small bruises that looked like a tattoo as you grabbed the back of his head, lifting him up by the hair to bring his face to yours so you could place a kiss to his red lips.
The kiss was sloppy and slow. Neither of you cared though, both focused on your orgasms that kept coming closer.
Jaemins thrusts stuttered and his cock twitched inside you. The hand in jaemins hair pulled and messed up his locks, sure to create a messy sight later on.
" 'm gon-gonna cum." You moaned, lifting your hips up to meet his along the way.
"Cum, princess."
The final orgasm left your body feeling like it was on a cloud while all you saw were stars making jaemin coo at your fucked out face.
Pulling out, jaemin finished on your stomach before letting his body fall next to yours, wrapping an arm around your hips and pulling you into him..
You both panted out of tiredness, neither one bothering to move as you were both spent.
"Did I hurt you, princess? Are you feeling okay?"
You smiled into his chest, "no you didn't hurt me and I feel fine."
"Good." Jaemin smiled, petting your hair before laying his head on top of yours, "Wanna go on a date?"
You swear your heart stopped as your face heated up, "Jaemin, you're doing everything backwards."
"So is that a yes or no?"
"Of course its a yes!"
Tumblr media
It was a peaceful restaurant that jaemin brought you to, saying it was supposed to be a place a lot of couples went to which you thought was absolutely sweet of him.
"So...uh." jaemin looked anywhere but your face like he didn't just have sex with you for the second time.
You snickered and sipped the drink in your hand, "Why are you so awkward all of a sudden? Its just me."
"I know it's just- I feel like I can't say what I wanna say because I'm afraid." Jaemin sighed.
"Of what exactly?" You placed the drink down, watching as jaemin fumbled with the menu before he covered his mouth and mumbled something you coulsnt quite grasp, "What did you say?"
"...nothing."
"Jaemin."
His doe eyes stared into yours like it was some sort of contest, wanting you to look away first but you and he did, "Alright fine. I said I'm a bit nervous if I were to ask you out."
Tilting your head to the side, you puffed your cheeks out in confusion, "Why?"
"The last relationship I had, the girl cheated on me. Afterwards she said it was because i wasn't good enough." He frowned, returning his attention back to the menu where you presumed was his hiding place for the time being.
"Well she's a bitch and is missing out on an amazing person." You pushed the menu down, "Is that why you acted that way when you saw jeno and I at the cafe? Did you think I thought you weren't good enough?"
Jaemin nodded slowly, "Kind of. I didn't want to lose someone I loved again."
"Loved? Na jaemin-"
"Dont say it." He groaned.
"You've gotten soft! Does this mean what I think it means?" You quirked a suggestive brow at him causing him to put his head in his hand.
"Yes, ill be your boyfriend." He said in his hand before you took it away and grabbed his face to kiss him. "I- princess when did you become do confident?"
"When did you become so shy?"
"Fair point."
Everything felt right all of a sudden. No more of jaemin being your bully. No more coffee being poured on your head. No more stupid high school drama that wasn't even drama in the first place. It was all right for once. And you couldnt say you could complain. After weeks, you got what you struggled to have before; na jaemin.

Brothers Conflict (Passion Pink) Part 2 - Asahina Kaname Route
Tumblr media
Okay, I'm not the most interested in Kaname since he feels like such a pervert lmao, but we'll see I guess loll. LOL I hate it when Kaname makes everything become so sexual, but I really like his voice so I'm confused😭 It's so cute how Ema is becoming more snarky with her responses to Kaname because he's so over the top with what he says lol. I love how Ukyo is the one who scolds Tsubaki and Kaname for troubling Ema with their incessant flirting, like geez to them lol! I love how Ukyo told Kaname to like get away from her forever😂😂 Anyway, I think I'm already kinda warming up to Kaname, just because on the dates, he's not so "crazy" about her and acts normal lol, but still really loving and sweet. I liked how he held her hand when she got a bit cold after the dolphin show, he probably knew she would be uncomfortable if he hugged her, so he did that at least and I think that was quite considerate of him considering how he usually acts haha. Lmao when the right option was to say that she wants to be like Kaname (kind and attentive), it was kinda cute how he laughed and thought she was cute for saying that hahaha.
Tumblr media
Aww I love the zoo one where Ema doesn't go check out Tsubaki and Azusa filming because it's a day out with Kaname and she wants to properly spend time with him because of that. Lmao when Ema got turned off on going on the rollercoaster after Kaname said it would be wonderful to hold her hand and kiss her when it gets to the highest part on the ride lolll. Well, he didn't explicitly say her but he might as well have😂 Aww, even though I thought Ema was really reckless to overdo it looking for Wataru in the rain, but I think alike Kaname, it was really nice to see that she cares so much for the brothers that she was so obstinate about finding him before caring about herself. I would have loved to see Kaname hug her~~ I agree with Kaname though, there's something about listening to the waves at night, seeing the sky and the ocean kinda merge together, and you start to think about how vast everything is and how small other things are. It really helps to calm you down, but I guess at the same time it can be unsettling though haha. Kaname is such a sweet talker to say that he would save her before she would even get scared or cry hahaha. I definitely love the more serious Kaname, there's something really mature and alluring about him when he's not joking around haha. LOL when he went over to the water and tripped over seaweed😂😂 It was so cute how he pulled her into the water too for laughing at him. OMG I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT!! I knew he was going to be corny and say that love is mightier than the pen and the sword but I honestly didn't think he would kiss her so suddenly!!! The CG is so beautiful btw. Something I wish Masaomi's route had was something like a kiss CG though, that would have been so nice, they were just so polite with each other all the time, it was kinda sad we never got to see anything more romantic, it was still cute though of course but yeah~ I'm really enjoying Kaname's route now.
Tumblr media
Okay, I died when Ema fed Kaname her Bento when they went to the park, like omggg that's so cute. Honestly though for Ema, regardless of whether she likes Kaname or not, I think it's a bit hard to act normal with him after he kissed her like that on the family holiday lol. Omggg, Kaname was pretty pushy, but honestly him asking if he could kiss her again and stuff was pretty hot lolll! Especially when he licked or kissed her ear or something loll omg. He's moving wayy too fast for Ema's innocent mind haha. But at least even though he's pushy, he's never really forced her to do anything, and the drive to the night view was something she was okay with going to with Kaname. But she did trust him to not overdo it and he did push her past her boundaries a bit so yeah...it was hot but also I felt bad for Ema. Okay, Kaname apologised to her, that's good. I guess her avoiding him and Iori telling Kaname how down she seemed helped him realise he might have gone a bit too far lol. Omgg when drunk Subaru pushed Ema down though, like it was hot, but I felt so bad for her because she was scared, I think Azusa comforting her after he saw them though was what made my heart melt. He's so sweet, I love Azusa😭 Anyway, ever since I checked Kaname's VA and realised that it's Suwabe Junichi (VA for Archer from Fate/stay night), I was like, no wonder why I love his voice!! Hahaha, and yes, now I like Kaname even more loll. I'm so glad Ukyo was there to hit Kaname at the cultural festival, lmao at the things he says sometimes, like seriously, super inappropriate lol. But lmao at Kaname announcing to her classmate that he's Ema's boyfriend loll.
Honey in cafe au lait?? Is that a thing??🤔 Anyway, I usually hate it when the guy is jealous and possessive, but honestly when Kaname got jealous and mad, I couldn't help but feel a bit happy because it was kinda..cute? Hahaha. On the other hand, Azusa being a bit "mad" that Kaname took Ema away was cute too, I love him loll. It's kinda interesting how Ema always thinks Kaname is playing around with her and isn't serious at all, but then she does stuff like stay over in his room hahaha, anyway, it's cute how he always says good morning to her~ When Ema asked if they could sleep together (since she couldn't sleep), I knew Kaname would find it difficult to hold himself back, but dangg, the kisses🥰🥰🥲 Awww Kaname let her use his arm as a pillow, that's actually really cute. Anyway lmao I find it hilarious that Juli the squirrel is calling her pitiful for spending Christmas Eve playing games hahahah. It's kinda cute how hardcore Ema is when it comes to games though lol. Lmaoo at Yusuke and Tsubaki's new year's wishes, they're so silly😂 It was kinda interesting to see both Ema and Kaname bury the kitten, mainly because it was nice to hear that the idea of the dead's souls/hearts returning to the side of those who think about them is a nice way to view death? Honestly though, I really want to like Kaname but his "romantic scenes" have been irking me quite a bit, especially the last one sleepover CG(?), like I really like how hot he sounds and I alwaysss get enraptured by his voice but seriously, he needs to stop lol. Like, if Ema was more receptive to his advances, I think I wouldn't be as uncomfortable but she's always telling him no and to stop it, but he just continues and says afterwards that he held himself back already. Like excuse me dude, if you held yourself back, you wouldn't be practically forcing yourself on Ema and touching her without her permission especially when she says no. Like seriously, he's the adult here! Anyway, yeah I feel like the only time I liked him was around the kiss scene lol. On the other hand, I find it interesting that Ema still thinks Kaname is just playing around with her when he's kissed her and stuff. To be fair though, he's always teasing her and he's never seriously told her his feelings in a way that she would understand as not playing with her so I'd say it's more his fault, especially since she's younger and more naive, and she considers him her brother so...
Tumblr media
Very Kaname-like to give Ema perfume for White Day and then tell her to only use it when she goes out with him haha. HAHAHA, I just realised I missed out on a funny zoo date where Kaname asks Ema what animal she thinks he would prefer compared to Juli, and she said it probably doesn't really matter to him because he likes human girls the most😂😂 I mean, it's nice that Ema finally realised her feelings when she saw Kaname with another girl and Tsubaki and Yusuke said he always does that and is never serious about any girl, but it was pretty random and sudden tbh lol. I feel like it could have been done better especially since most of Kaname and Ema's recent scenes have just been him "attacking" her lol. I'm glad that Tsubaki who is usually as playful as Kaname is, is now shouting at Kaname telling him to stop playing around with her if he isn't serious, because really, if she doesn't understand and think so, there's no point if he thinks he is serious. Oh wow, did Kaname just break his phone to prove that he's serious about her and won't talk to other people? Lol! Whaaat! Kaname quit being a monk and went to his mother's company?? Honestly though, I'm rather suspicious of this monk thing, like was he actually a host all along? Lol, I mean, we never actually got to see him do anything related to his work this whole entire route lol. Anyway, the kyodai/brother ending is really weird considering the flow of events and how Kaname kissed her and stuff for alllll those months, like that doesn't make sense!! Lol anyway doesn't matter. Btw, Kaname in the epilogue(?) is sooo hot in a suit, and omggg at Ukyo discovering their relationship in the worst way especially with how Kaname says stuff lol. Otherwise, the CG was niceeee 🥰
Tumblr media
Overall, I loveee Suwabe Junichi's voice and I really think he made Kaname a better character than he actually was lmao. Honestly, I really enjoyed the beginning of this route and I really thought I'd love their relationship because of how forward Kaname is, but I think from the middle onwards, I lost a lot of interest because of how clunky the flow of events were, and the events themselves were rather disappointing I guess. Most of the events that happened after the kiss was mostly just Kaname "teasing" Ema and a lot of them were more uncomfortable than sexy even though his voice really made me love and hate it lolll. My heart was confused haha. Kaname does a lot of things that are a bit over for me especially since Ema isn't very receptive towards it and tells him to stop but he really doesn't and touches her quiteeee a bit, so yeah I didn't like it all that much, but at the same time I could never really understand Ema either? Lol. Like, she seemed so confused throughout the route about Kaname and I feel like she only liked him because I "chose" him through the dialogue options than because she really liked him lol. I think a lot of it was just awkward, especially her revelation that she likes him, like lady, you saw him with Hikaru before too lol, but anyway their "confession" of love to each other was also pretty underwhelming considering how frustrating their relationship was throughout the route lol. Otherwise, I loved Kaname's voice and if you ignore how much he touches Ema and says so many inappropriate crap, he's actually pretty sweet and loving. I definitely prefer Masaomi overall though haha.

A Little into You (Junkyu x Reader) (Ch. 21)
Chapter 21 - Confessions.
Word count: 4.8k words
Genre: Fanfiction, PG13, Comedy, Romance.
A/N: Good morning! Chapter 21 is up! Thank you all for supporting this fic. I couldn’t have done it without all y’all’s love and continuous support. Enjoy this one 🧡
“What?” Chani scoffed in disbelief.
“Y-yeah! It’s true, I met Y/n first!”
“Oh, so we’re playing firsts now, huh?” Chani said, his tone giving a hint of sarcasm.
“You started it first! I was only countering what you said!”
“Yeah well,” Chani paused, trying to think of what else to say. “Well, I was the first friend Y/n met here,”
“Hah! Jokes on you! The first friend y/n made here was Hyunsuk-hyung! They met each other before any of us did,” Junkyu said, happy that he was able to beat Chani’s statement.
“Fine. But I’m pretty sure I’m the first person who’s ever fed y/n food among you guys,”
“Oh really? When was that?” Junkyu asked smugly since he knew you’ve only known Chani for over half a month and not as long as you’ve known him or any of his members.
“Duh, it was recent. Sometime in this week,”
“Hah! You’re beat! Hyunsuk-hyung fed y/n food that one time when we came over to her house,” Junkyu was slightly jumping now, excited that he was winning at this argument.
“I—”
“You lost! You have nothing else to say yayyyy,” Junkyu said happily with his cute smile.
Chani lets out a heavy sigh, slightly disappointed by the fact that the Treasure members had already visited your home and yet you’ve never invited him over.
“Yah, y/n. How come they get to visit your home but I never got the chance to go there?” he asked you.
You kept quiet.
Junkyu’s happy expression slowly faded when he noticed how upset you looked.
“Y/n?” Chani said when he realised you’re not responding to him. He lets go of your shoulder that he’d been holding on to since just now and he moved in front of you, wanting to check if you were okay.
Chani froze in his spot when he saw the look you were giving him.
“U-uh, hyung…I think we should leave…” Chani said to Junkyu. He knew that look on your face. Working with you has made him familiarise with the different moods you have, and right now, he knows, if he stayed any longer, he would receive and earful of nagging from you.
“Oh ho don’t you dare move,” you said, making both of them not moving an inch.
“How dare you guys…how dare you both come in here and make a big deal about having breakfast when in reality, we could all have breakfast together,” you continued. “And then you both started off that stupid feud about ‘firsts’ involving me! What am I, an object for you both to banter about??”
“Y/n we don’t mean it that way,” Junkyu said, feeling bad now.
You kept quiet, shooting glares at the both of them.
“Y/n…I just wanted to spend time with you, that’s all…” Chani said in a slow voice.
This earned a scoff from Junkyu. He was annoyed that Chani had the nerve to say that. Chani got to spend his every day with you and yet he wants more? Pathetic.
“What? You have an opinion on that??” Chani asked when he heard Junkyu’s scoff.
You rolled your eyes at this. Looks like this feud isn’t gonna end here.
You grabbed your bag from the table and headed towards the door of your meeting room.
“Wait, y/n, where are you going?” Chani asked, surprised by your action.
“Somewhere I can get some peace and not where my friends are acting weird and arguing about me,” you huffed.
You were standing in front of Junkyu now, since he was standing directly in front of the door.
“Move, Junkyu,”
“But y/n…” Junkyu said softly to you.
You saw the worried look in his eyes and you couldn’t help but feel soft for him.
“Please move, Junkyu,” you said more gently now.
Junkyu looked into your eyes for a moment and then he complied and moved aside, letting you leave the room.
Chani hurriedly walked over towards the door, wanting to follow you, but then he heard you saying from outside,
“I want none of you following me! If I catch a glimpse of you within my eyesight, I’ll really stop talking to any of you,” you said in a warning tone.
This made Chani stop.
Junkyu closed the door of the room, leaving only him and Chani in there.
“This is all your fault! Why can’t you just let y/n go today??” Chani said frustratedly at him.
“Me?? You have her by your side every day! How is this my fault??”
“I only get her to be with me for lunch! Oh come on, you have the upper hand here! You get to visit her freaking home,” Chani added, dissatisfied.
“Upper hand in what?? Hey, you’re the one that keeps on sticking to y/n to the point the only choice I have to even catch a glimpse of her was FROM AFAR,”
“Lol you’re making it seem like as if I’m taking too much of y/n’s time away from you, when in reality you could’ve just, I don’t know, pull her away from me,” Chani responded, a smug tone in his voice.
“H-how?? You’re literally stuck with her! Like earlier, you wouldn’t even let her go! You know what, you’re a leech!” Junkyu argued back. He could hear his own ragged breathing now. Wow, he must be really angry at Chani right now.
“What?” Chani asked back, amused.
“That’s right, you’re a leech! You stick on Y/n, and you wouldn’t come off until someone puts a fire near you,”
“Wow, I really can’t believe you’re comparing me to a leech, hyung.”
“Yup, I watch documentaries too,” Junkyu said proudly.
Chani lets out a small laugh. “Okay hyung, enough, okay? You and I are friends. Why are we arguing about y/n like this? She’s our friend too. Let’s not make things worse, okay?”
Junkyu blinked a couple times. His breathing was calmer now. Chani was right though. Fighting any longer wouldn’t bring you back here.
“So…what do you suggest?” Junkyu asked.
“Hmm,”
Junkyu fixed the paper bag in his hand. The food he bought for the both of you was getting cold and he couldn’t help but pout as he stared at the wrapped-up sandwiches he bought. He had really wanted to give you one of these, he thought. It was one of his favourites and well, he’d like to share the things he like with you. It’s just the things people do when they like someone, no?
“Okay, here’s what we do.” Chani said, earning Junkyu’s attention again. “You…should go back to your studio or practice room or wherever your schedule wants you to be—and I’ll look for y/n,”
Junkyu scoffed out loudly as he listened to this guy’s ridiculous plan. Isn’t it obvious that he’s just trying to stick to you all over again?
“What?? What are you not satisfied about??”
“Why do you have to be the one looking for her? Why can’t it be me??”
“Because, hyung,” Chani smirked. “I’ve changed group leaders. So, technically, as of today y/n is my group leader now.”
“What…”
“Exactly. So what I’m saying is, legally I am allowed to stick to y/n,” a smug smile formed as he said this.
“Huh. I can’t believe we felt sorry for you. You’re just as selfish as he is,”
This statement hits Chani hard. His eyes widened. “You did not just say that, hyung,”
Junkyu walked up closer to Chani, having more courage to face Chani now. He knows how much Chani hates being put in the same place as that person.
“Yah. I won’t let you cling onto y/n like that,” Junkyu said in a soft but menacing tone.
“What’s your deal?! It’s not like you have a crush on y/n like I do,”
Junkyu’s mouth fell open.
Did Chani just confess…about liking you??
Chani too, looked as shocked as Junkyu was. He didn’t expect those words to come out of his mouth.
“W-wait. That doesn’t make any sense. You’ve only met y/n this month. You’ve only known her for several weeks!” Junkyu reasoned, not believing what he heard.
“Look, I feel like it’s nonsense too, believe me! But…I don’t know…I’ve spent my every day with her. And even if it’s just for a couple of weeks…I like being around her. Even when she nags and rolls her eyes at me all the time. I can’t stop thinking about her ever since I met her. Even when I get back home from work, I keep looking forward to meeting her the next day.” Chani looks at Junkyu in the eyes and said, “You know how miserable it was for me, interning here. You know what went down before this, don’t you hyung? Ever since y/n came here, I feel like I’ve gained more courage, I get happier even when I get treated like shit here,”
Junkyu was quiet for a moment. It hurts how he couldn’t get angry at Chani anymore after what he said. Because…he knows how Chani feels.
“I know how you feel…Believe me, I do, Chani.”
Chani lets out a sigh. He watches as Junkyu stares at the paper bag in his hands.
Wait a minute. Could it be?
“Hyung…don’t tell me…”
Junkyu nodded, a solemn smile on his face. He locked eyes with Chani as he opens his mouth to say the one thing he’s never straightforwardly said to anyone—
“Yeah. I like Y/n a lot,”
                                                                 *
 YG Building (Cafeteria / Balcony)
 You woke up to feel the Sun’s rays shining against the clear glass roof, giving you a warm feeling throughout your upper body. Lifting your head from your arms that had supported you throughout your nap out here, you let out a soft sigh, slightly stretching your arms against the table in front of you.
How long have you napped?
Feeling a little panicked inside, you hurriedly grabbed your phone from your bag on the chair located on your right.
10.17am.
You let out another sigh.
“Crazy. I actually napped for almost an hour,”
Placing your phone on the table, you rubbed your tired eyes gently, still trying to fully wake up.
What happened earlier? Why are you out here again? You asked yourself these questions. Ah, right. You had walked out of Junkyu and Chani’s silly argument earlier.
“Those kids. The nerve of them arguing like that. I wasn’t arguing with them and yet I feel so drained. Now look what they’ve done. I don’t even remember falling asleep out here,” you mumbled to yourself.
“Ah, I see the sleeping beauty is awake right now,” a voice said.
You swiftly turned your head to your left to see who it was.
And there he was, Jihoon, grinning at you as he held his phone in one hand—probably scrolling through it before this.
“Whoa. What are you doing here?” you asked, still a little groggy from your nap.
Jihoon pulled out his airpods from his ears and kept them into their case.
Still smiling at you, he finally responded to your question.
“Hm? I was just scrolling through my phone and waiting for a certain princess to wake up from her deep slumber,”
You frowned at him. “How long have you been watching me sleep, huh?”
Jihoon lets out a chuckle, “Oh hey hold your horses, princess. I’m not some creepy stalker, okay? I’ve only been here for like, 10-15 minutes tops,”
“Hmm okay. But why are you here?? Shouldn’t you be running off to practice or working out or something?”
“Why do you think I’m here?” He asked you back, leaning his chin against his hands as he stared at you with his mischievous smile.
“You…wanted to get some fresh air?” you guessed.
“Bingo! You almost got it right!” he grinned at you. “Ah, but I was here for another matter,” he paused, making you wait for his sentence to finish.
“Oh? Aren’t you gonna ask me what the other reason is?” he questioned you.
“Oh my god, Jihoon. Cut the suspense and tell me already!” you groaned.
Jihoon giggled at your impatience and decided to just tell you already why he was there.
“Okay, fine, fine. Well, Junkyu called me up,”
“What? Why??”
“What do you mean, ‘why’?? You stormed away from him and threatened not to talk to him ever again if he looks for you. Why do you think he called me to come here instead of him being here on his own?”
“Oh…”
“Yup,” Jihoon sat up straight now, leaning in close to you. “Now y/n, I don’t know the full details on what went on today but when Junkyu called me, he was a panicked mess. I just hope you know how worried he is about you. I mean, he literally begged me to come over and look for you immediately! I had to rush over here too, okay? Look at me, I even forgot to put on sunscreen because of the rush,” he said as he chuckled.
“Ah but then, after I sent him a picture of you napping, he was calmer so yeah, you don’t have to worry too much,” he continued.
Jihoon leaned back against his chair, smiling at you. “Oh! And I had a hunch you’d be here. Luckily, my hunch was right. I didn’t have to roam around this huge building looking for you,” he added proudly.
You blinked a couple times, trying to discern what Jihoon had told you.
“Hm? You’re a little quiet today. Usually you’re so feisty around me,”
“Oh shut up,” you said as you lightly slapped his shoulder, making him giggle at you.
You pursed your lips together, trying to think of what you want to say to Jihoon.
Junkyu had called him up because he was worried about you.
Junkyu was too afraid to look for you because he didn’t want you to stop talking to him.
Jihoon said Junkyu was a worried mess when he called him up.
All these things swirled up in your head, making it hard for you to focus on Jihoon who was still staring at you, waiting for you to speak up.
“Jihoon…”
“Hm?”
“I…I don’t know what to say. This is a bit too much to handle right now. I…I’m sorry that you had to rush over here…and forgot to put on sunscreen…” your voice trailed as you noticed that even with his bare face, your friend still looked glowing and handsome under the warm Sun rays.
“Nah, it’s no big deal. I’ll put some on later,” he smiled at you. “But really, what happened just now?” he asked, since he didn’t manage to get the full story from Junkyu earlier because his best friend spoke too fast on the phone and kept on begging him to come over to the company to look for you.
And so, you told Jihoon. What went down earlier in your meeting room. Right from the very beginning including the part where Junkyu had texted you the moment you stepped out of your floor’s elevator.
Jihoon listened carefully, nodding at some parts, implying that he understood what you were trying to tell him.
And after your whole story-telling session was done, he kept quiet. He waited for you to calm down before deciding to say anything to you.
You pushed your hair back with one hand, letting out a sigh.
“And so, Jihoon. I had to storm off. I mean, it’s weird enough that these boys are coming to me first thing when I arrive at work—which is a first for me today, and then they start bickering with one another like as if I was some sort of Olympics trophy!”
Jihoon giggled when he hears this. “That’s a little too much, y/n. You’re not an olympic’s trophy. That’s too valuable,”
You scowled at him and punched him in the arm, hard.
“Ow! Okay, okay I was just joking!” he laughed. “You are valuable,”
But then you were already annoyed by what he said so you simply rolled your eyes at him.
“Aw come on. Are you sulking right now?” Jihoon asked, amused with your behaviour.
You shook your head at him but then you weren’t looking at him.
“Aww y/n! Here, here, look! Look at this picture of you that I sent to Junkyu. You looked like an angel sleeping. Of course you’re important and valuable to us all,”
You subtly turned your head to look at his phone that he was holding out to you.
“Wow…the lighting was so good. That picture actually looks good…” you said softly, hardly believing that the soft-looking girl sleeping in the picture was you.
The picture showed an up-close shot of your face, half covered by your arms that you were resting your head on, making the features of your long lashes and your nose and a part of your covered lips accentuated under the sun-kissed rays shining on you.
As you were gaping over the skilled picture Jihoon took of you, Jihoon smiled to himself, feeling proud that he managed to make you stop sulking by now.
“I’m pretty sure Junkyu must be thinking the same thing as you do when he looks at this picture,” he said, making you look at him.
“W-what?”
“It’s a good picture, isn’t it? I’m sure Junkyu’s staring at this picture like a goofy idiot right now,” Jihoon said again, trying to tease you.
“Yah! What are you saying?? Why would Junkyu be staring at my picture, huh??”
“Aww look at you! Your face is turning red,” Jihoon smiled as he kept his phone into his bag.
“W-what? No way! You’re the one that’s turning red!” you blurted out at him.
Jihoon laughed out loud at your reaction. “Oh gosh, y/n. Look at you. Denying how you feel.”
“Look at you. You’re making random conclusions on your own,” you said in an annoyed tone.
Jihoon stretches his hand out to pat you on your head before saying, “Okay, okay. Enough with teasing you. Let’s get back to serious business.”
You looked at him confusedly. “Business?”
“Yeah. What are you going to do about Junkyu and Chani? You know you can’t run away from them and throw threats at them forever, right?”
You groaned. “Aw man, I can’t? Damn it, I was hoping to just avoid them until the end of the month,”
This earned you a soft bonk in the head by Jihoon.
“Silly girl. Of course you can’t.”
“Fine,” you sighed out loud. “I mean, I don’t like it when people fight because of me…” you said as you looked down.
“Neither do I. But you need to understand that they’re fighting over because of one thing, y/n,”
“And what’s that?”
“Duhh, they both want to spend time with you!”
“Then they can! They can just come up to me and spend time with me!”
Jihoon shot you a ‘really, girl??’ look at you.
“What? They could!”
“And they did go to you. See what happened today??”
You let out another exasperated groan, “Ugh okay then what should I do, Jihoon??”
“Come on y/n. You know what to do. You need to decide yourself who you want to spend time with. It’s not only depending on them too, you know. You’re a person too. You get to decide too.”
You kept quiet, eyes staring down at the table again. Jihoon was right. You can’t let your friends fight over you simply because you never openly said to them who you wanted to hang out with truthfully.
Jihoon leaned his chin against his hand again, waiting for whatever you were going to say next.
“Who…do I want to hang with…” you said softly to yourself.
“Be honest with yourself, y/n. If you were to be put into the same situation as this morning all over again, who would you pick to have breakfast with?”
“Well…” you blinked a couple times. A name popped into your head and instantly you felt your heart racing.
“Hm?”
“Well…I g-guess it would be Junkyu…”
“Oh? That’s an interesting take. Why so?”
“I mean…I like hanging out with Chani, I really do. He’s a great friend to spend time with. He gets me so well and oh my god he handles my mood swings so well too! He’s so sweet and caring towards me…” you paused for a bit.
“But then Junkyu…even when he treats me coldly at times or how awkward it feels to be around him sometimes—" you giggled slightly thinking of all your awkward encounters with him. “Around Junkyu I feel different. Whenever he smiles, I feel warm all over. I don’t know, I don’t hang with him much but there’s something about him that makes me feel this comfortable aura around me. It’s like I feel safe whenever I see him. Just seeing him makes me want to smile sillily but ah! I don’t know what I’m saying hahaha let’s not talk about this anymore!” you ended your rant with an apologetic laugh.
You turned to look at Jihoon who had been staring at you the whole time you were talking just now.
His eyes continued to stare at you as if he was in a trance, his eyes gently blinking as you leaned in close to his face to see if he’s okay.
“Hello? Earth to Jihoon,” you said as you waved your hand in front of his face.
“Oh?” Jihoon sat up straight, fixing his posture as soon as he noticed your face was inches away from his.
“Oh my god. I can’t believe you were daydreaming the whole time I was ranting about them,” you said in disbelief.
Jihoon chuckled nervously. “What? No, no no! I was listening, I just…might have gone into another world for a bit,” he joked.
“Whatever Jihoon. It’s fine.”
“So? Have you decided on what to do?”
“I…guess? But let’s hear out what you have in mind since you went to visit another planet while I was talking earlier,” you teased him.
“Pfft. Easy. You just have to talk to them and tell them whatever epiphany you just had earlier,”
You scoffed at him. “I knew it! You weren’t listening at all! Bye, I’m gonna find a new best friend,” you said sarcastically, pretending to grab your bag and leave.
Jihoon grabbed your arms and made you stay in your seat as he cooed, “Aww I’m your best friend? I didn’t know I was that special to you. I thought you hated my guts,” he said in between giggles.
You scowled at him and rolled your eyes. “Enough. Stop teasing me, Jihoon!” you huffed.
                                                              *
 YGE Building (4th floor – Y/n’s assigned meeting room)
 You walked up towards your meeting room, your high heels clacking in the empty hallways.
Just as soon as you arrived in front of your meeting room’s door, you swiftly turned the doorknob.
And as you stepped into the room, there you saw, Chani sitting in one of the seats, slightly hunched as he focused on the slightly-thick pile of paper in front of him.
You felt your heart soften for your friend. Initially, while you were on your way back to the meeting room, you had been thinking of all the words you wanted to say to him. Yes, you had plan on nagging at him like you usually do. But then when you saw him being all focused and serious doing work…you felt like it wasn’t fair of you to hurt his feelings at all.
You let out a sigh as you closed the door behind you.
Your sigh caught Chani’s attention, making him lift his head to look at you.
“Y/n,” he said, a slightly surprised look on his face.
You smiled a little at him and then walked up towards your usual seat which was facing the mirrors. Placing your bag onto the table, you let yourself plop down into your chair, a few seats away from your friend.
Chani placed the pen he was holding onto the table and scoots over towards you.
“Hey, are you okay? Where have you been? I’m so sorry—”
You raised your hand, making him stop talking.
“Look, Chani…” you paused. You took a deep breath before turning to him. His eyes scanned yours, a hint of worry showing on his face as he wondered what you were going to say to him.
“I…I’m sorry for storming off like that this morning. I didn’t mean to get mad at you both like that, really,” you said.
Chani lets out a sigh of relief. Relieved that this wasn’t another one of your angry nagging sessions.
“No, no! If it’s someone that’s going to say sorry among us, it’s me. Really, y/n. When you stormed off like that, it got me thinking…I just—I can’t imagine not talking to you at all,”
Chani’s eyes stared into yours, making you feel bad for always being cold to him or not treating him as well as you treat your other friends.
You also realised this as you stared into his eyes—that Chani has big, beautiful dreamy eyes. How did you not notice that before?
You shook your head and lowered your eyes, breaking his gaze on you. “Don’t stare at me like that. What, are you trying to hypnotise me or something?” you said in a monotonous tone.
Chani grinned, happy to see you being your usual self—that’s always indifferent around him.
“Hey, we still can have that McDonald’s for lunch. Sure, it’s a little cold now but if you don’t mind it—”
“Sure. Sounds good,” you smiled a little at him.
“Aigoo! You’re so cute when you’re being so nice to me,” Chani said as he grinned happily.
“Oh my god, get a hold of yourself. I’m still a little mad at you, okay?” you said as you rolled your eyes lightly at him.
“Aww! There’s that eyeroll! I’m so glad you’re still here with me!” he said as he pulled you into a hug.
“Nooooo no no no, I refuse to get your dose of sappiness today, Chani. Now, let go of me,”
Chani continued wrapping his arms around you, making you feel trapped in your seat. “No way, you don’t know how happy I feel right now,” he said, with his eyes closed and smile beaming as he leaned his head against yours.
“Okay, okay! Personal space invasion!” You said as you gently pushed his arms away from you.
Chani pulled away from you, “Sorry. I’m just really happy,”
You shot him a weird look. “Obviously. Ah, but what happened to Junkyu and you when I left this morning? Don’t tell me you both continued fighting,” you said, giving him a warned look.
“Well, we debated for a bit…”
You raised an eyebrow at him.
“But we’re fine now! We cleared out some…understandings about each other…”
“Huh…”
Chani flashed you a convincing smile, not wanting to expose the full conversation he had with Junkyu earlier. The last thing he wanted to do was tell you how Junkyu had caught feelings for you. I mean, why would he? After all, he likes you just as much too.
“Well, that sounds good then. I’ll just send him a text later to check up on him.”
Chani nods at you.
“Oh and Chani?”
“Hm?”
“If you act mean towards Junkyu like today again next time, I’ll stop talking to you for real, okay?” you said nonchalantly, your eyes scanning the paper on the table.
This made Chani stop smiling. “What? Why?”
You flipped the paper, revealing another page. You took a deep breath before you turned to look at him.
“Because— Junkyu is a nice person. And I…like…being around him too.”
Chani fell quiet.
Suddenly he lets out a soft laugh.
“What’s so funny…” you asked, confused.
“Nothing,” he said still laughing. “I mean, why are you making it sound like as if I’m the one that’s holding you back from spending time with him?”
You folded your arms against your chest, shooting him a questioning look.
Chani’s laugh eased a little, his smile still visible on his face though. “Oh come on, Y/n. Of course I’ll treat Junkyu-hyung nicely. I like him too! He’s a nice hyung,”
“Okay good,” you smiled a little.
“Also—” Chani added.
“Hm? What is it?”
Chani uses his fingers to pull you by your chin, making you face him closely. “This isn’t the way I plan to say this y/n, but since you worry about Junkyu-hyung more than you worry about me…”
“What? No, what are you saying? I don’t worry about Junk—”
“I like you, y/n” Chani said quickly, cutting your sentence before you could finish it.
“W-what?”
“Listen to me carefully,” he said slowly, his dreamy eyes still staring into yours, his face inches away from yours as well. “I like you.”
You felt your ears heating up in all of a sudden. What nonsense is this kid rambling?? Is he even in his right mind??
You couldn’t tell if Chani was being serious or if he was pulling a prank on you…
 To be continued…

Warnings: Adoption, pregnancy symptoms/pregnancy talk (throwing up/check ups/scans/trimesters), lots and lots and lots of fluff
                                       *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“Are we really doing this?” I excitedly breathed out, squeezing Fred’s hand.
He slightly nodded, looking apprehensive himself.“We really are.”
We were stood inside the orphanage, and this wasn’t our first time here. Ever since the baby had left our short care, something had felt off in our lives. In the beginning, we blamed it on the shock of it all; it’s not everyday that you find an abandoned baby behind your shop. Even George pointed this out, saying that our minds seemed to be elsewhere. So here we stood, waiting for the care worker to come back down the hall, but this time she wouldn’t be by herself.
I held back an excited giggle when she turned around the corner with the baby in a carrier. He was awake, kicking his legs about under his blanket, gurgling away as if he knew he was going to his forever home. I tried not to start crying, even though my emotions were all over the place, but it seemed that Fred was happy to let the tears fall. Smiling up at him, I quickly made him face me, giggling as I wiped away his tears. We didn’t exchange any words, but he nodded his at me as if I had asked if he was alright.
“Here he is, little Tommy.” the woman beamed, handing him over to us.
Fred held the carrier in both arms, and we cooed at Tommy. We had helped pick out a name for him when they couldn’t find any recent hospital records, they had no idea where he came from or who his mother was. And just like that, we were taking him home with us.
Once home, we found ourselves lying on the bed, with Tommy in the middle (just like we had the first time we brought him home), and just staring. We had fed him before, meaning he was now sleepy, slowly dozing off.
“What do we do know?” Fred whispered.
“I don’t know.” I honestly answered.“It feels so strange to have him home again, even after seeing him in the care home for so many months.”
“I wish we were there to see him properly grow, he’s so much bigger now.”
“Well he’s here now. And it’s almost his first birthday, we should start planning.”
Fred chuckled, eyes widening when Tommy stirred. Tommy opened his eyes, face scrunching up to cry when I pulled him closer, holding onto him. He calmed down, a few whimpers escaping him before he nodded off again. I glanced at Fred, who was already looking at me, sharing a smile. This was our life now.
A few more months passed, filled with getting used to being parents; the late nights, early mornings, dealing with the ear piercing cries and smelly nappies, but also the bursts of giggles, funny noises and cuddles. So many of our friends and family had come forward to help, giving advice and wanting to get to know the new member of the family. Molly had been extremely enthusiastic after finding out we planned to adopt Tommy. She had worried that there had been problems with us, that we weren’t able to have babies of our own, though even after reassurance, she was still excited. And she offered to babysit way too much (though sometimes that was used to our advantage). 
Now it was the day of Tommy’s first birthday. Since there were no hospital records to show his birth date, they had to give it their best guess. Nevertheless, Tommy was going to have a proper birthday. We had decorated the home, our presents were stacked next to the fireplace, the cake was displayed alongside the rest of the food, and I had picked out his outfit for the day, now all that was left to do was wait for the guests. 
“Wow, look at my handsome boys!” I exclaimed when I entered the living room, seeing Fred holding up Tommy to look at himself in the mirror. 
Fred gasped, turning around so that they were looking at me.“Tommy, look at mummy! Good thing she put in an effort too.”
I scoffed a laugh.“Is everything ready?”
“Yep. Guests should be arriving any minute.”
“Today is all about you Tommy.” I tickled his stomach, laughing with him as he squealed.
The party went amazingly. My family and Fred’s turned up at the same time, all loudly entering our home, gifts in hands, talking over one another. It was hard to take it all in, trying to answer all their questions as they passed me their coats and took off their shoes. Although all their excitement got the best of them, instantly going to greet Tommy and Fred, I didn’t mind, relishing the sight of our entire family together; it was the simple things in life that you could miss, and this was one of them. The day was filled with laughs, too much food and bad singing. There were also nudges towards Ron and Hermione, as well as Harry and Ginny about children, and poor George was being told to keep his search going for the right girl. Both grandmother’s wanted time with Tommy, but I knew he was going to become annoyed being passed around too much. Everyone was content watching him sit up by himself, cushions surrounding him in case he fell, playing with his toys.
Sitting back with Hermione, I found it hard to concentrate on her words. I suddenly felt tired, and also didn’t want to even think about the lunch I had served up. Trying to keep up with the conversation, I sipped at my water, feeling ill. Perhaps I was over tired from the late nights with Harry, we hadn’t had a gathering like this in a while, it was a lot to keep up with, especially when you were one of the hosts. I excused myself, quickly walking to the bathroom. Just as I was about to splash some water on my face, a horrible feeling rose in my throat, and I found myself bent over the toilet being sick. No, surely not, I couldn’t be could I?
Luckily I wasn’t throwing up for long, taking a moment to catch my breath, causing me to cough. Slowly standing, not feeling dizzy now, and quickly brushing my teeth as I flushed the toilet. Checking my reflection, I sighed when I saw how pale I had become. People would definitely notice, if not, then Fred certainly would. I had to act normal, be as bright and bubbly as I was ten minutes ago.
Upon my return, there was music playing, Ginny and Hermione swaying with Tommy on the floor whilst our parents conversed, and the lads talked about something unrelated to babies, families or weddings. Passing by them, I smiled, needing a glass of water. I realised Fred had followed me into the kitchen, sighing as I realised I would have to tell him.
“(Y/N), you don’t look well, are you OK?” Fred asked closely, his hands rubbing my arms up and down as he stood behind me. 
I nodded after taking a sip of water.“Yeah. I’m fine now.”
“What does that mean?”
I turned around to face him, leaning back against the counter.“I um...I was just sick in the toilet.”
“Should we take you to a doctor? Do you need healing? What are your symptoms?” he rushed.
“No, I’m fine really. Perhaps I ate something bad....or....”
“Or what?”
“Fred, your mum babysat for us a couple of weeks ago.”
“What does that have to do with any of this?”
“We were alone, all day and all night...can you connect the dots?”
It took him a few more seconds before it clicked, and as his eyes widened, I had to clamp a hand over his mouth to stop him from yelling.
“Yes, Fred, I might be pregnant.” I whispered.
“Uh, am I interrupting something here?” Ron said from the doorway, confused when he saw the position we were in.
“Uh, y-yes! Fred was about to yell about the cake, but...but we didn’t want Harry to hear and get too excited.”
Ron furrowed his eyebrows at us as he slowly stepped back.“OK. I mean, he’s only one, I’m sure he wouldn’t have realised.”
Removing my hand from Fred’s mouth, I let out a sigh of relief.“Look, we don’t know if that’s true yet, so for now, don’t even think about it.”
“But, if you are...” Fred trailed off, smiling to himself.
“Would...would you be alright with that?”
“Would you?”
We hadn’t come back to that conversation, instead trying to focus on the rest of the party. Because Tommy was easily tired out, they didn’t stay for much longer. At any other time, I would insist they stay, even after putting Tommy to bed. However, I wasn’t being a good host as I let them put on their shoes and coats, each waving goodbye to little Tommy. With the door closed, and just the three of us leftover, Fred and I flopped onto the sofa, letting Tommy roam and tire himself out.
“I’ll book an appointment for this week.” I mumbled, trying to not let my eyes droop.
“Do you want me to come with you?” Fred said.
“I...I don’t know. It would be nice but George might get suspicious.”
“Would it be so bad if he found out? You know he would keep it a secret.”
“That’s true. Alright, come with me. Let’s find out together.”
And that’s what happened. Unfortunately it was almost another two weeks before I was able to be checked over; there had been a strange atmosphere as we waited, that’s all we were concentrating on. Tommy still received as much love as he usually did, but there were times where I would stress about the future. Tommy was just one, and if I was pregnant, there wasn’t going to be a big age gap between the children. That would be hard. They would be toddlers together, there would be screaming, crying, toilet training, the money for nappies, clothes, toys....but every time I found myself down that hole, Fred was there to pull me out, consoling me, assuring me we would be alright with one more child.
I had been bouncing Tommy on my lap as we waited for the doctor to see us. Fred had to take him away from me, worried that I would cause him to be sick, but it was a nervous tick. I was extremely grateful to have Fred with me, concentrating on his thumb running over the back of my hand, and the gentle kisses he would place on my forehead. But the appointment went by in a flash, and as we walked outside, I couldn’t help but squeal in excitement and shock, exclaiming loudly to everyone around me;
“WE’RE PREGNANT!”
George obviously had to know first, seeing as we took the day off work. But he was sworn to secrecy. We wanted to keep it under wraps for a while, waiting to see what my first trimester was like. The excitement was almost too much for me, I couldn’t stop picturing what it was going to be like for Tommy to have a sibling. Another person to add to our family, someone else to give our love to. Things were going well, of course there were the horrible symptoms, though I said to myself over and over again that this would be worth. The weeks whizzed by, and soon, I was starting to show, meaning Fred and I couldn’t stop rubbing the tiny bump. I had bawled when Tommy rested his head on it one night, as if he understood his brother or sister was in there.
We knew it would be impossible to keep it hidden anymore, and I seemed very healthy so far. We were also bursting to tell our friends and family, trying to think of ways to announce it. Fred suggested huge fireworks that wrote it out, but I knew that would be too much. Instead, he settled for a cake where the icing would start writing out the message ‘We’re Pregnant!’ when the candles were lit. Once again, the family found themselves squashed together, this time meeting at the Burrow. Tommy stood on Harry’s lap, clumsily using his face to balance himself as Fred and I caught everyone’s attention.
“We thought we would bring you all something special, a thank you for supporting us through the entire adoption process and for helping us get used to being parents.” I explained, pushing the cake into the centre of the table.
The candles had just been lit, and as everyone licked their lips at the sight of it, they realised what was happening. Screams, hollers and cheers erupted throughout the small room, causing me to burst into tears at the happiness. This was good, this was going to be an amazing chapter of my life.
My mother and molly would send me pregnancy books, recipes for meals that were good for the baby, or just natter on and on about advice, side effects, and what childbirth actually entailed. Sometimes it was a bit too much, I would wish they held some details back. The checkups were going well, Tommy’s behaviour was getting better as he grew, also Fred’s enthusiasm seemed to never die down. However, it had come to that certain appointment, the one some couples longed for. It was time to find out the gender of our child. The results we were given weren’t what we were expecting.
Stepping into the shop, I relaxed when I saw it wasn’t too busy. Fred was desperate to tell his brother the news. As he went to get him, I laughed at Tommy’s wide eyes, taking in all the colours and noises. Fred gestured for me to follow him into the stock room, getting their workers to take over the floor. As I stepped in, flashbacks to Tommy as a newborn came to me. How strange, it was almost like a full circle.
“So, what’s it gonna be then?” George grinned.
I giggled at Fred who was almost jumping up and down in excitement.“Go on then, I said you could tell him.”
“Well, Georgie, it’s a boy-”
He threw his arms up in the air.“Yes! I knew it!”
“And a girl.”
“Wait, what?” his arms slowly sank down.
“We’re having twins! There’s going to be another set of Weasley twins!”
George responded with a loud cheer, throwing himself onto his brother in an engulfing hug. They were patting each other on the back, at first jumping about before they calmed down, swaying side to side.
“Freddie, that’s amazing! (Y/N), you’re going to be massive!”
I scoffed a laugh, knowing he meant no harm.“Thank you very much George. You’ve already earned yourself a whole weekend of babysitting.”
“Have you told mum yet?”
“No,” Fred said,“you’re the first.”
“She’s going to go crazy.”
“So is mine.” I stated.
“Who would have thought, eh? Another set of twins?”
“I’m going to finally know what it was like to raise you two. Perhaps I should have a masterclass from your mum.”
“She’ll give you lots of tips, and stories about how much of a terror we were.”
“Great, looking forward to that.”
Leaving the shop, Fred took over carrying Tommy in one arm, his other hand holding mine. We dawdled on our way home, seeming to be in no rush as we took in what news we were given today.
I smiled as I placed a hand on my bump.“Fred?”
“Hm?” Tommy was already falling asleep on his shoulder.
“Are we really doing this?”
He smiled back.“We really are.”

Sunny Day - Rowater
Tumblr media
Summary: Vanessa’s undercover assignment is done, she comes back to the 21st to make amends with one person in particular.
Warnings: swearing, angst, mentions of blood & gore
Requested: Yes! #7, “What the hell are you doing here.” & #8, “Don’t walk away again.” 
Vanessa stepped out of the cab and slammed the door shut behind her, staring straight ahead at the familiar condo in front of her. It had been six months since she had stood before it, and gosh, how she missed it. Including the ugly door hanger Hailey insisted on putting out every spring. 
She passed a grey pickup during her walk to the front door, smirking at the sight. When she reached the porch, she dug in the side of her duffle bag, pulling out a set of keys she hadn’t used since she left. She twisted the key in the door and pushed it open quietly, sighing when the first floor was revealed. Everything was exactly the same. 
She dropped her duffle bag on the floor and went straight for the kitchen. She didn’t know the last time she ate anything homecooked. She was rummaging through the fridge when she heard thudding behind her, she grinned, she couldn’t wait to see her roommate. 
“Chicago P.D. Turn around slowly and show me your hands.” A man’s voice said soft, but sternly.
Vanessa laughed, raising her hands and turning to face the detective. “Hi, Jay.” She said, looking him up and down. Her coworker stood there in only his boxers at the base of the stairs, gun raised. 
“Jesus, Vanessa.” He said, running a hand through his hair. 
“Good to see you.” She waved a finger at him, “I’m glad to know you feel comfortable around me.” 
Jay scoffed, nonchalantly (or not so) lowering his hands so that they covered his crotch. “I’m gonna go get Hailey-” 
Before he could even get the sentence out, there was padding above them. “Jay?” She called out, followed by thudding at the top of the stairs. “Babe, what’s wrong-Vanessa?” The blonde asked as she reached the bottom. She squealed a very un-Hailey-like squeal and raced towards her best friend. “Hi.” She said as she wrapped her arms around her. 
“Hey.” Vanessa said softly, sighing as she hugged her back. 
Jay coughed behind them. “I’m gonna go put some clothes on…”
“Or maybe just pants?” Hailey smirked at him
Vanessa stared intensely at him, “Yeah, don’t hide on my account.” Hailey looked at her best friend, who was staring her boyfriend down and burst out laughing, along with Vanessa. 
Hailey walked over to him, placing a hand on his chest, she reached up and pecked his cheek. “Bring me back a pair of sweats?” 
“Yeah.” Jay nodded shortly, before disappearing to where he came from. 
Vanessa hadn’t noticed until then, but all Hailey was wearing was an oversized grey v-neck, undoubtedly one that wasn’t hers. Hailey settled in on a barstool, motioning for Vanessa to follow. “How long are you back?” 
Vanessa shrugged, “I’m not sure. Things kind of got crazy, so they pulled me out to let the wires cool down. They haven’t decided if they are going to send me back in yet.” 
“What happens if they don’t send you back in?” Hailey asked. 
Vanessa took a deep breath, “The higher ups are pushing for me to stay on with them, either as a undercover case worker or as one of their regulars.” 
“V, that’s great! Getting an offer from the feds your 3rd year on the job? That’s incredible.” Hailey exclaimed. “If I didn’t know any better, I would say that the Bureau has something against Voight.”
“Speaking of,” Vanessa said, “How was your stint? Did it end up being short?” 
Hailey nodded, “Yeah, about two months. I came home right after you left.”
“Damn.” Vanessa said.
“I know. We just missed each other.” Hailey sat forward, “So, are you gonna take it?”
Vanessa shrugged, shaking her head. “I don’t know...What would you do?” Hailey nearly choked on her own saliva. Vanessa eyed her best friend cautiously, “Did I miss something?” She asked, laughing.
Hailey shook her head, recovering. “No, no. The people I worked with before offered me a spot on a task force a few months ago, in New York.” 
Vanessa nodded, “I’m guessing you didn’t take it?” Hailey shook her head, smiling softly. “Do you regret it?”
Hailey glanced at the stairs behind her before grinning at the officer, “Not at all.” 
The next morning, Vanessa found herself outside of a familiar house once again. Just this time, with two cups of coffee in her hand. She was much more anxious than the night before, she climbed the porch steps cautiously, hitting the door bell with her elbow. 
There was noise of shuffling behind it before it finally swung open, Vanessa smiled softly at the sight of the man in front of her. “Hey Kev.” She said quietly. 
Kevin stood there in shock, he debated pinching himself. He couldn’t believe who was standing there in front of him, there was no way he wasn’t dreaming. “Wh-What the hell are you doing here?” He asked, maybe a little more aggressively than he should have. 
Vanessa was momentarily taken aback by his anger. “They pulled me from the operation…” She held up the warm cup, “I remembered your order, double espresso with a shot of vanilla.” 
Kevin took it absently, still searching for the right words. “Thanks, you wanna come in?” 
“Yeah.” Vanessa said immediately, “Yeah, I do.” 
The two shifted inside the house, setting awkwardly in the colorful living room. “So, uh, when’d you get back?” Kevin asked, not really sure he wanted to know the answer. 
“Like two in the morning, I went straight to Hailey’s.” She said, rushing her words a bit. “Jay actually pulled a gun on me, I wasn’t expecting him to be there.” She laughed.
Kevin chuckled, “Yeah, those two have been attached at the hip recently.” 
“I’m sorry I missed it.” Vanessa said, looking him straight in the eye. It was more than though, it was almost an apology, almost an explanation for disappearing in the middle of night and just vanishing. 
Kevin nodded, he wanted to be angry with her, he really did, but the longer she sat across from him it slowly began to fade. He missed her, he missed her so much and being mad seemed like such a waste of time now. He looked down at her watch. “I have to be at the district in like an hour.” He said, “Do you wanna get a drink tonight?” 
Vanessa stood, she assumed that was her invitation to get the hell out of his house. “I have a lot to unpack, a lot to catch up on. Raincheck?” It wasn’t fair to get him to get attached again, not when she could get the call tomorrow that they needed her to disappear all over again. 
Kevin glanced out the window, smiling softly, “I don’t do rainchecks, especially on a sunny day.” 
Vanessa sighed, shaking her head. She remembered that day like it was yesterday, it was the day everything changed for her. “It was good to see you Kevin.” She took a few steps towards the door, praying that he would just let her go.
“Don’t walk away again, Vanessa.” Kevin said, against all better judgement. He jumped up off the couch, “Not like before” 
Vanessa turned to him with blurry vision, “I didn’t have a choice.”
“Yes you did.” Kevin snapped, “You didn’t have to just vanish. You didn’t have to make me hear that you were gone from our Sergeant at work, you could’ve called. You could’ve told me.” 
Vanessa shook her head, “I’ve never had anyone care before.” She yelled. “Hailey was in New York, and I just…” She took a deep breath, looking at the ground. “I just left.” But it wasn’t just that, after Hailey left, her and Kevin grew even closer. Voight shifted things around and they ended up partnered up. She couldn’t bear to say goodbye to him and she had never felt that way before. 
“I cared.” Kevin said quietly, “I cared a lot.” He took a breath, throwing his arms out. “I still care.” 
Vanessa set her coffee down on the inn table next to her and closed the gap between them, attaching her lips to his. Kevin caught her with ease, wrapping his strong arms around her to pull her even closer. Vanessa’s hands found the nape of his neck, pulling him down so she could actually reach. Eventually the two pulled away, breathless.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn't have done that.” Vanessa apologized. 
Kevin nodded, “You’re right...I should have.” He leaned in again, kissing her passionately, “Jump.” He whispered against her lips, Vanessa obliged. He picked her up with ease before backing up slowly and sitting on the couch so that she was straddling him. 
“I-um-'' She said in between kisses, but she kept losing her train of thought. He was a bit distracting. Finally she pushed on his chest, jumping up and putting some space between them. “I have to tell you something.” Kevin nodded. “The feds, they offered me a job.”
“Wow,” Kevin said, sitting forward. “That’s great V. I’m really happy for you,” He said genuinely. 
“Thanks,” She said, still trying to catch her breath. “I think I’m gonna take it.” 
Kevin sighed, “You should.” 
“It’s in Chicago.” She said, smirking as Kevin’s head popped up. “I wouldn’t leave the city, but it’s centered around UC work, so I’d be gone a lot.” She sat down on top of him again, holding her face in his hands. “But, I want this, I want you. And I want to make it work, so…”
“So, nothing.” Kevin said, “Take it, you deserve it.” He reached up and pecked her gently. “I like you a lot, Vanessa, We’ll make it work, wherever you are.” Vanessa grinned, wrapping her arms around him and breathing deeply. It had taken so long, but she had come so far, she finally found her home.
A/N: This is my first time writing Rowater, so sorry if it seemed a little off. What did you think? Personally I will always believe that Vanessa is just undercover and she WILL be coming back, recipe for heartbreak, I know. But still, my baby Kevin needs someone to love. Thanks for reading! <3

Post Arkhelios
Tumblr media
Just as Abe and Roman were about to head for the bus station, Abe got an urgent text from Lucy that he needed to come back to the house immediately. Roman had insisted that he leave it and stick to the plan, but Abe couldn’t bring himself to leave without knowing if something important was happening. Maybe Lucy had decided to send them off with a hug or money for bus tickets. He would miss out on so many family moments when he and Roman left. Who knows when he’d see her next? It just made sense to see her again before he left.
Tumblr media
However, it wasn’t Lucy who was waiting for him. Elaine had left work to come home when she received Oriana’s worried phone call after her own call from Jolanda. The Rivales were spreading this story relentlessly around Arkhelios, and Elaine needed to be home to do damage control. Was she so bad at mothering that she had been completely blindsided by this? How had she not seen the signs? She thought of the worn teddy bear long abandoned in her former home. How had history repeated itself without her knowing?
“Abraham Helios-Chun you have a lot of explaining to do!” she shouted as she saw her son approach.
Abe nearly died on the spot. Whether it was out of shame, or fear he couldn’t tell. He was dead either way. Thank the watcher that Roman was waiting for him at the station and hadn’t come. They decided that saying goodbye to Lucy would probably go better if Roman wasn’t around to rile her up.
“Hi Mom,” he managed to squeak. “You’re home early from work.”
Tumblr media
Elaine’s resolve crumbled when she saw the fear in her son’s eyes. It transported her right back to when she was his own age. She pulled her son into a tight hug and closed her eyes. She wouldn’t be her father. She would take care of this.
“How did this happen, and how long has it been going on?”
Tumblr media
Wanda stopped to once again pick up the garbage can outside of her brother’s home. It had been a stressful day at work, as no one could stop talking about the love life of two teenagers they barely knew. Roman was her nephew now, and it bothered her to hear the entire town bad mouth him. So one kid ran away from school and knocked up his boyfriend. What did that matter to the entire town? Shouldn’t they be focused on increasing immigration to Arkhelios and solving three murders? The Bellamys were beside themselves looking for Roman, and Wanda wanted no part in that drama. She had her own brother to worry about.
Tumblr media
Melvin was playing with the twins when she arrived, and she scooped up Dorian happily. She was rooting for Roman and Abe, but they were kids and the adults in Arkhelios couldn’t stop working to make Arkhelios a better place for those kids to live.
Tumblr media
She loved visiting her nephews, especially now that her mother wasn’t around to ruin the experience. Hunter desparately wanted to start a family now that they were married, but Wanda wasn’t quite ready. She wanted to enjoy her marriage for a while without juggling her work and family even more so. Plus there was a nagging feeling in the back of her brain that felt like this desire for kids was being influenced by Hunter’s father. Salem had made no secret about his hopes for Adam and Omar to start families immediately after he made his move on city council, and the last thing Wanda wanted was to make Salem happy. Even Roman was producing little Bellamys now; she wanted to hold out until she had a better idea of what kind of family she had married into.
Tumblr media
Sheldon had cleaned up most of her mother’s room, but there was one survivor of her mother’s animal hoarding remaining. She fed the little animal while Melvin was busy, trying not to look at too many of her mother’s belongings. Peggy had been a hard woman to love, but Wanda had still loved her in her own way. Losing Zane on top of everything hurt more than she could even admit. He had been so young. His girlfriend Ulyssa was off taking the world by storm, and he was dead. None of it made any sense.
Tumblr media
Moving on from that loss was turning into one of the hardest things Wanda could imagine. It was only her and Melvin now, and Melvin had been acting strangely lately. Maybe the pressure she was putting him under to solve those murders was unfair. She knew just a bit of magic, and the crime scene photos from their house set off all kinds of magical red flags to her. She would have to do more research on weird occult phenomenons just in case it became relevant to the case. Melvin wouldn’t know how to approach any of that, and her spectral assistant could only do much without her direction.
Tumblr media
When the twins were asleep, Wanda sat her brother down for tea and a sisterly chat.
“You seem really tired lately,” she remarked. She took a long sip of her drink. “I’m sorry if I’ve been too hard on you lately. It’s just hard not understanding what happened here, why it happened, or if it could happen again. It really messes with your head, and it’s a lot to put on you. Especially when you still live here with your family.”
Melvin sighed heavily and leaned back in his chair.
“It is hard,” he admitted. He swirled the tea in his cup absentmindedly. “I hope to find a break in the case every day, but I’ve still got nothing.” He placed the cup back on the table and cleared his throat.
“I found out who my father is. Who he was,” Melvin announced. Wanda gasped. She had never really expected to ever know the missing half of her family tree.
“How?”
“Mom had a letter among her things that Sheldon found. You, me and Zane are all half-siblings. I guess I owe you $20 on that bet.”
“No wonder you’ve been so distracted lately. I didn’t think we’d ever find out.” She tried to gauge where he was emotionally with this revelation, but his face was unreadable. For the first time in her life, Wanda had no idea what her brother was feeling. “Who was it?”
“Xavier Chun.”
“Huh.” That was a surprise. He’d seemed so happy with his wife. Her mother always did have a way with married men though. “I would never have guessed. Him and Mom? Wow.”
“Yeah.”
Tumblr media
“I guess that makes you Abe’s uncle. Your nephew is rather infamous at the moment. Ian too.” She trailed off as the implications of this began to form before her. “You have a half-brother. You and I aren’t all we have left as family; you have a brother that I don’t. That Zane didn’t have either. This is so messed up.”
Melvin nodded.
“Just think, you don’t know who your father is, and you married someone who never knew his birth parents until fairly recently. What if you’re related? Arkhelios is a small place.”
Wanda’s eyes widened in horror as she thought about just how little she knew about her own family tree. If Melvin had a half-brother that they had grown up not realizing was related to him, she could have any number of siblings of her own hiding in plain sight. What had kept Melvin from accidentally dating Ian all this time? Would her mom have intervened if he had?
“It looks like I’m getting a DNA test tomorrow,” she groaned. “Thanks Mom, even when you’re dead you’re still making life difficult.”

L’appel Du Vide: 00 Despicable Him
It took me a whole goddamn year to finally win the fight I fought against myself and start posting this story. I have 7 complete chapters written already but now cannot seem to find the strength to continue, so I was hoping releasing it into the world would give me a nice boost. Anyway, my friends enjoyed the story so if in reality it turns out to be bad, it’s obviously their fault, not mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rhys is the CEO of Atlas and Jack's AI is back, surprise, surprise! Now Rhys is dismayed, Jack doesn't care much, and the events of Borderlands 3 are just beginning to unravel. Is there any way to fix the plot of this game? Would it be any better if Rhys had to cooperate with Jack this whole time? Well, this is your chance to find out!
Spoiler: yes, dammit, it would. Everything's better with a bit of Handsome Jack in it.
Genres: Fix-It, Developing Relationship, Alternate Canon, POV Third Person, Humor, Drama, Plot-driven (kind of? well, it has plot)
Pairing: Handsome Jack’s AI/Rhys (this is only the 1st chapter so don’t expect much yet)
Characters: Handsome Jack’s AI, Rhys
Rating: M for Mature but not in this chapter lol
Size: around 2500 words (chapter 1/11)
Tumblr media
Rhys’s office was great. He liked to sit in his big executive’s chair and dreamily look outside instead of doing the paper work. The view was also great. Well, kind of.
What did not seem so great, however, was the war he had been recently dragged into by the Maliwan corporation. He didn’t like being involuntarily involved into global affairs, especially those that had something to do with fusions or takeovers. The situation his company was in was bothering him at the moment, so he took a deep thoughtful breath and continued staring into the window.
“Hey, kiddo,” said the voice of somebody who definitely could not be in Rhys’s office neither at this given moment nor at any other time. Rhys was almost sure in his sanity so he proceeded to ignore the not-uttered words, although he, for some unknown reason, became visibly shaken.
“He-e-ey,” said the voice with those familiar little notes of annoyance that would let the hearer know that the person speaking clearly didn’t like being ignored.
A half-transparent blue hand waved in front of Rhys’s face, and he totally lost it.
Still somehow managing to remain seated in his chair, Rhys jerked back and rolled right through the blue figure formerly standing behind him.
“Wha…” muttered Rhys, barely able to speak at all, “Jack? What are you… I mean, how… I mean, is that really you?”
“Calm down, Rhysie,” said Jack with the same smug expression on his face – perhaps, the only thing that was unchangeable apart from his self-confidence, principles, self-esteem, disrespect for the others, sly nature, and, well, many, many other things really. “I get it, you’re happy to see me, but gosh, have some self-respect!”
Rhys was still confused, so after a few seconds of silence Jack felt the need to add, “Of course, it’s me”.
“But I thought you’re…”
“Dead? Gone? Dead and gone?” Jack clicked his tongue three times. “I thought, you knew me better, Rhysie. I thought, you’d welcome me with your arms wide open. Are you not happy to see me?”
“I am,” Rhys started nodding zealously and clenched his fists tight, hoping that Jack wouldn’t notice he was shaken. “But I don’t understand. What happened…”
“What happened was a mistake. I was gone for a while, but now I’m here to stay.” Jack leaned towards Rhys’s face and smiled. It was in no way an amiable smile. His glowing eyes reminded those of a vulture watching his prey. He already started to smell fear in the air.
“And where exactly is here?” asked Rhys with the last glimmer of hope fading from his voice. More than anything now he wished for the story not to repeat itself, but it was not like he had a choice or something.
Jack only tapped on Rhys’s temple with his index finger and leaned back. Rhys didn’t feel the touch but the gesture itself made him uncomfortable. He knew what it meant, unfortunately.
Jack jumped onto the table of the CEO of Atlas and crossed his legs and arms, waiting.
Rhys swallowed loudly. This was not great at all. He was sure his head was clear from this phantom and there was nothing to worry about. He was sure he would never again be convinced to go against his nature and pursue the world domination. Or any kind of domination. He was sure, but whenever it came to Jack, he was a defeatist.
“This can’t be true. I don’t believe you came back. I must’ve hit my head or I’m just seeing things…” Rhys’s voice quavered in disbelief when he spoke.
“Now-now, honey, no need to worry so much. You know I don’t like it when you wince, it makes you look older. Seeing me here must make you feel sorry for what you’ve done, but you should know that I don’t hold any grudge. Actually, I’m kida proud of you, you know. It only proves I was right all along,” said Jack roguishly. His manner of speech made his words sound benign, as if he was forgiving sins during the confession. Rhys was still not buying it.
“I did what I had to, what you made me do! If anything, it was YOUR fault, YOU betrayed me, so don’t you try making ME responsible for everything! I don’t know what kind of mind game this is, but I know you can’t be here.”
As Jack opened his mouth to yet again say something pricky, Rhys, still sitting in his chair and tightly gripping its arms, yelled at top of his lungs, “Begone! Begone, foul apparition!”.
The apparition sat on the table, sandbagged and with a dropped jaw, for a few moments and then uttered “Wow. Just wow. I’ve always known you’re weird, but this is just… wow. Are you on drugs or something? I’m not judging, you just seem really… deranged? I wanna say deranged, but I’m not sure it’s the right word.”
Rhys snuffled resentfully and looked at Jack with a brooding expression on his face. “You won’t go?” he asked, not really hoping anymore.
“Nope, kiddo. Everything’s gonna be just like the good old times – me as a hero and you as a… as a… I dunno, a less attractive sidekick?” Rhys quietly sighed, holding his head in his hands. “We’re gonna hang out, kill bandits, save the world, and I will always, always be at your side. I’ll make sure of that.”
“I killed you, Jack. I destroyed you. I ripped you out of my body, tore you apart and threw you away from my memory. Nothing’s gonna be the same anymore, you know that.”
“No, Rhys, I was killed by some OTHER goddamn crappy bags of… ugh, I’m not even gonna bother with that. You and me just had a misunderstanding. Often happens between two forceful promising personalities, like between me and the previous Hyperion CEO. Oh, wait, no,”–Jack scratched his head and furrowed his eyebrows–“no, I killed him, that’s a bad example. Anyway, you know what I mean.”
“I smashed my fucking arm to get rid of you! You,”–Rhys pointed his cybernetic finger at Jack–“are the only one who is insane here if you think that’s nothing. We both know what we did, Jack. Whatever you want, I’m not helping you. The last time I tried, you took control of me and tried to end my life.”
Jack’s expression turned from stolid to menacing as fast as gray clouds cover the sun and it starts raining in summer. He wanted to be good, he really believed that he did.
“Why do you always have to be so stubborn?” he hissed at Rhys. “I wouldn’t be here if you didn’t want me to. No matter how much I don’t want to admit it, I’m dependent on you, you little whiny coward, so do me a favor – be a good boy and listen to what daddy has to say. You kept your eye implant, didn’t you? Don’t even try arguing with me, I know you did. It was your decision to leave it be, so it’s you who brought me here. I’m grateful for that and I promise not to be nasty. No taking over bodies and no homicidal tendencies. Well, at least when it comes to you, pumpkin.”
“…Okay,” fumbled Rhys. Even though he didn’t believe this was really the case, he knew disputing with Jack never solved anything anyway. “Although… I didn’t really use the chip afterwards. I don’t know how you’ve found out I had kept it, but I surely wasn’t that stupid so as to put it back into my head after what you had done. I really want to know how you’ve managed to–”
“We all have our secrets, Rhysie. But enough about me, let’s talk about you.” Jack gave Rhys a wink. “How’ve ya been? Must admit, I fell out of the loop and now need an update,” he said petulantly. Now he was idly looking around as if he had lost all interest in what was happening.
Rhys decided to let go of his worries for now. If he couldn’t make Jack talk, his only option was to gain his trust once again and find out how he survived. Or if he did at all. Just be composed, not the worst scenario you’ve ever been in, he said to himself.
“Um, actually, I’m great. This is my office and… We’re doing fantastically if you disregard the fact that we’re at war with Maliwan and currently I am occupied with this new–”
“Yeah-yeah, okay, what was there about a war? I don’t remember Maliwan scum being at least somehow dangerous. How did you even manage to mess this up?”
Rhys stood up from his huge chair, arms akimbo, eyes disdainfully narrowed, and went on with his story, affronted and even a little peevish.
“As I was saying, I’m working on a new plan right now. At this point I’m pretty fed up with Katagawa, this new CEO of Maliwan,”–definitely peevish right now–“Oh, in fact, I just hate him so much!”–now even irate–“The day he murdered all his siblings, he just mobilized his fleet and went straight to my planet! Who in the right mind does that? Could’ve sent a message at least. Anyway,”–Rhys hid his hands into his pockets and sunk back into his chair, having lost all his righteous anger–“he wants our corporations to merge, to fuse, as he says, to become one.” The irritation on Jack’s face was becoming more distinct with every word Rhys said. “He wants me to sign the deal and share my developments with him, can you believe it? That greedy bastard!”
“Proposals like that don’t just come out of nowhere. Seems like he’s been watching you. This Katagawa guy, what does he offer you in return? Money, contacts, tech?”
“Himself, I guess,” said Rhys without any second thought.
“What?” asked Jack contemptuously. He was already close to seeing red. Rhys forgot how it worked with him.
“He said we would become partners, but I think it’s all lies to make it seem pretty. I suspect he will simply take control of Atlas and our new shiny guns, and all my work will be wasted.”
“I see, no one can trick our Rhysie,” said Jack, grinning. “Thank god, at least some good news.”
“That’s right!” said Rhys, perhaps, more enthusiastically than he should have. “No one,” he added more quietly. Except for you, you snake, muttered the inner voice inside his head.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you something this whole time. Funny how I really haven’t been here for long, but you know. May I?”
Jack’s incisive manner of speech was absent, so Rhys took his guard down for a moment, getting the feeling that this conversation was like one of those they used to have before – unbraced and at times even innocuous.  
“I know what’s on your mind, Jack,” he said, heartfelt and certain.
“You do?” Jack undoubtfully seemed surprised at his interlocutor’s insight.
“Yes. I’ve noticed how you look at me and I know exactly what you want to ask.” Rhys made himself more comfortable in the chair, crossed his legs and sat straight, in a more business-like manner. “This,”–he made a vague hand gesture around the area of his mouth–“is a siege mustache. Shh, let me finish, you can’t say anything I haven’t heard about it before. My troops love it, and as a good commander, I do what I can to boost morale on the battlefield. Of course, I don’t go out there, but they are happy enough when they see my hologram. A-a-and, now you can talk. I guess. If you want to. By the way, I don’t care if you hate it, it’s my face so–”
“You know what? I love it. Love it. Never thought I would say that, but I am saying it right now, so here you are. The second rule of a successful boss – do what the fuck you wanna do with your face. The first one is murder the previous boss, of course.”
“Really?” gingerly asked Rhys, who, in reality, had never heard anything good about his poor moustache.
“Really. But I must upset you, Rhysie. This is not what was bothering me. You see, there’s this other little thing, pretty close in its significance to your moustache.”
“Oh,” uttered Rhys nonchalantly, “what is it?”
“Hyperion. What’s with it? What’s with MY Hyperion, Rhysie?”
At the sound of that very word Rhys hunched in his chair and felt as if he was reducing in size under Jack’s cold gaze.
“After what had happened… the Helios was destroyed and everything collapsed and…”
Rhys sat silent, not able to go on, and this was the last thing he should’ve done. Jack was not in the mood for such a behavior.
“Look me square in my fucking translucent eyes, Rhys, and tell me – what is with my Hyperion?” yelled Jack.
He still sat on the table quite far from Rhys, but it seemed like the room suddenly shrunk and he was right in front of him. Jack was a ghost, a phantom, not able to do anything, not able to inflict any damage or even touch him, but Rhys sensed the danger. No matter in what form, Handsome Jack was still Handsome Jack.
“I don’t know. I guess, somebody took control of it after I left. The weapons are still being manufactured, but I didn’t bother to find out who was the next in line after Helios was… after I destroyed Helios.”
Rhys exhaled loudly and averted his eyes from Jack. Oh, yes, making Jack angry is much easier than making him proud, how could I forget, he thought.
“I see. I didn’t doubt for a second you would do that to infuriate me. Believe it or not, this is the first time I’d rather be disappointed. But you know what? It doesn’t matter now. Now we’re bonding,” Jack sucked the air through his teeth, “now we’re rebuilding what was destroyed like a family we are. Isn’t that great? Look at us, two best buddies exchanging the latest news.”
“And you promised not to be nasty this time...?” Rhys made a feeble attempt to save himself and remind Jack about the terms under which he was allowed to accompany him.
“Yes, Rhysie, and you know damn well I keep my promises.”
And he did. But only when he promised to kill somebody.

Slow Burn: Act I - Part 1
The Meet Cute - Part 1
Pairing: Chris Evans x Famous!Reader
Summary: You meet Chris Evans at a rooftop, industry party in New York, but will your awkwardness ruin the night?
Warnings: Profanity, Sexual connotations, but overall fluff
Notes: Please check out the moodboard + music specially curated to go with this part!
Expensive, rooftop kickback. Ice-cold beer in hand. Film industry tastemakers and Top 40 hits to soundtrack it all. It should be an ideal way to end one of the last few days of summer. And yet, Chris couldn’t help but feel out of sorts. He is a, rather THE, fun-loving party guy. But tonight, he just wasn’t feeling it. He was in a funk, and didn’t know the reason for it.
Could it be the fact he turned another year older a little over a month ago? No, I’m grateful for the blessing of aging.
Could it be that he didn’t care to be around the people in this party? That’s not it. Yeah it’s a bunch of industry schmucks, but Mackie and Scott are here; those are my boys! We always have a great time.
It could very well be a case of “the breakup blues”, as Scott puts it. Hardly, we didn’t even exchange ‘I love you’s’. It’s hardly a breakup if it wasn’t even love… right?
Chris shrugged to himself as he tuned back into the conversation around him. But as he got himself up to speed, he wished he hadn’t.
“So I have this friend I think you should meet, Chris. real cool girl. I’m not saying she’s the “perfect match” or that you should even go on a date, but you never know… y’all should just meet,” Anthony says in as neutral a tone he can muster. Aw shit, here we go again.
When Chris doesn’t give him a reaction, Scott too, tries to maintain some neutrality when asking, “Oh, really?? Tell us about her, why don’t you?” Jeez, these two.
“Well, she’s hella artsy, a creative type, if you will.”
Chris decides to patronize them, asking, “Yeah? What’s she do?”
“She’s a… uh… musician!” Scott answers, clearly excited by his brother’s minute show of interest, but realizes he’s shown their hand.
Chris raises an eyebrow to his younger brother. “So you know her too?”
“Yeah… I mean I don’t know her super well, but I met her recently… through Mackie.” Not a complete lie.
That’s… actually different. They’re always trying to set me up entrepreneurs who want me to throw money at their lip gloss business after the second date. Or worse, influencers, who are overly concerned with their “brand” and make me wait to eat while she takes pictures of the food so her “feed can also be fed”. Sheesh. But a musician, a fellow artist, could be different… “That’s cool, what kind of music?”
“It’s like alternative pop,” Scott answers, hoping to keep his brother’s attention in the subject.
“And that is …”
“…like, mostly pop, but it’s got a little bit of everything.”
“Right… what ever happened to ‘keeping shit simple’?” Chris states more than asks, as he takes a swig of his beer.
“You sound like an old man,” Scott quips, to which Chris playfully flips him off.
“ANYWAYS,” Anthony attempts to get the conversation back on track, “she’s also very intelligent, funny, youthful…”
“Youthful, huh? How old is she?”
“She’s… ya’know… young at heart… and on paper…”
“Bro, how old is she??”
“Twenty-- ”
“Let me stop you right there, ‘cos wow! I see how it is!” Outwardly, Chris feigns offense, but inwardly he’s just planning an escape from this conversation.
“You see me: a damn-near middle-age man; no wife, no kids, no GIRLFRIEND, and think I’m looking to “just meet” someone 10+ years younger than me? You think I’m looking to start my mid-life crisis or something? Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. I’m out this bitch!” Chris over-dramatically scoffs, throws his hands up and rolls his eyes. As he wanders inside away from them, he laughs to himself at their antics.
“C’mon man! We’re just looking out for you!” Anthony shouts after him.
And it’s true: He knows they mean well, but the constant hovering over and hand holding of his love life is getting to be… suffocating. Chris wants to meet someone without pressure or pretense. He wants someone real, someTHING real. But more than anything right now, he wants to be left alone about it. Huh, guess I found the reason for my funk.
——————————————————————————
Having just come from an incredible writing session, you’d somewhat forgotten you’d been invited to “schmooze” some Hollywood types. You arrive to the party well into the evening, around 10:30 pm or so. Enough time to ‘schmooze’ and get the hell out. God, I HATE ass kissing… If it were up to you, you wouldn’t be here tonight, but Anthony and Scott were persistent on getting you out.
You hadn’t bothered changing your outfit cos it was comfortable + cute + completely party ready, in your humble opinion, but the disapproving looks from a couple of bougie Bettys by the in-door bar didn’t go unnoticed. I really couldn’t care less. I just collaborated with one of my most faviorite writers EVER for Mackie’s movie!
Your name sounds off in the near distance. It’s a couple of your co-stars, Ansel and Jaden. You’d met them previously at a Vanity Fair party about a year ago. They’d each been publicly supportive of your work and you’d been *platonically* in each of their DMs, but they’re both no more than acquaintances.
Chatting to them for a bit, there’s introductions to the preexisting group, some of whom seem a little star struck, or maybe taken aback by your attire? It’s getting harder for me to read people nowadays. 
You ask them where Scott and Mackie are, seeing as the former invited you here and the latter is a good friend of yours. Ansel points you in a general direction, and you thank him before you head that way.
The indoor dining and lounge area open up to a large, open-air, rooftop patio. It’s packed with film industry folk; A-list to up-and-coming, like yourself. You’re not exactly sure what the celebration is, just that Scott & Mackie insisted that you show your face, rub eblows, but most importantly, let loose for once; seeing as you are making your break into acting this year. A much needed change of pace from your usual work.
‘Japan’ by Famous Dex is playing as you sneak up behind an unexpecting Scott. Taking him by the hips from behind, you sway to the beat with your pelvis to his backside. To your amusement, he’s visibly startled and turns around, his face changing from “WTF?!” to “OMG!!” when he sees you. You don’t stop dancing, but instead get a little more raunchy as Scott joins in with you. You share a laugh, hug and air kiss.
“Let me stop. I’m not using all my moves on you tonight!”
“That’s too bad, but maybe we can find someone for you to use them on,” he replies with a wink. You playfully roll your eyes and swat at his arm. Yeah, highly doubt it. Not what I’m here for, anyways.
"How ya doing Kid? How was the writing sesh?” Mackie asked while being a little distracted with texting. You assumed it was for work because usually Anthony was a very present individual. Not only was he in the movie, but he was a producer, and you figured he hadn’t turned that part of himself off even though he was at a party.
You started to gush about the session, the collaboration, how that one part “just came together” when… oh my fucking gawd.
“Hey Kid, I want you to meet my good friend—“
“He was my brother before he was your friend!”
“Wow, really you guys?”
Mackie finishes introducing you to Chris Evans. Chris motherfucking Evans. You wonder if he’d always been standing there or if he just walked over, because you didn’t notice him before. You shake hands, and get a little shy now, hoping it wasn’t noticeable. Chris plasters on a polite, but fake smile. Shit. He can see the fangirl in my eyes!! Get a grip sis!
“So... how do you know these two?” Chris motions left then right, from Scott to Anthony.
“Uh... um... movie.” You nod as if you’re trying to convince not only Chris, but yourself, that you just gave an adequate answer.
“What she means is that she’s a part of the movie Mackie and I are doing.”
“Oh, alright cool, cool. What do you do?”
“Well, I’m a sing--”
“SINGle actress! She’s very single, and very much an actress,” Anthony looks at you with widened eyes as he nods his head slowly, like you bumped your head and forgot what you do. What’s up with him?
“Um, yeah, I have a supporting role, which is more than enough for my intro to the silver screen.”
“Your first movie? Congrats! You’re in good hands with these guys on set with you. Just remember--”
“Stay away from bananas?” The words tumbled out of your mouth before you could stop them. Wow. No one makes a move in the awkward air you set. You just made a reference to his somewhat embarrassing-- yet very comical-- film debut. You dummy!
“I’m so sor—”
“No. No, no don’t. It’s, uh... fine,” he says, half laughing. You all return to awkward silence, with Chris looking off into the distance, pretending to wave at someone so he can plan an escape for the second time tonight. You’re too busy studying the ground and mentally kicking yourself for your stupidity to notice Scott and Anthony, panicked looks on their faces and gesturing to the other to “do something” to save this train wreck of a conversation. Anthony decides to break the silence.
“Yo Kid, Lemme see your hand.”
“My hand? Why?”
“Just let me see it!” 
Your hand is guided to Chris’ clothed, taut pec by Anthony.
“Feel that? Good stuff, right? Soft to the touch, yet strong and dependable. But most importantly, makes ya feel real good in bed.” No he didn’t just say that!!
Chris mouths a ‘wow’ with raised brows, and you cautiously take back your hand, slightly bewildered *but not really* by Anthony’s boldness. Anthony still holds on to your hand lightly.
“What man? It’s Egyptian cotton! I don’t mean to embarrass ya!”
“Somehow, I think you do,” Chris chuckles while he takes a swig of his beer, eyeing you tentatively. You can’t bring yourself to make eye contact with him, and just fix your eyes straight ahead. I’m literally staring at a wall... of muscle.
“Look, let me see your hand.”
“Hey, hey! He ain’t stroking my chest; it is NOT that kind of party… gotta at least take me to dinner first.” You whisper the last part, but Chris still catches it and laughs at your quip. The tension in your shoulders eases up some, but only a little, not trusting yourself to get too comfortable.
“Just trust me!” Anthony whines at you.
“Last time I “just trusted you” Mackie, I ended up fleeing a pack of angry ducks… I still have the scar!”
“Wait, wha—“
Mackie brought yours and Chris’ hands together for his large hand to hold your smaller one, and there was… electricity?
“Isn’t that the softest hand you ever felt? What do you use?”
“Uh… Shea butter.”
“Yeah, that’ll do it! Oh won’t you look at that. Her ring finger is naked, hm… and look at how good she looks in white!” Nope, just more awkwardness.
You share an embarrassed smile and glance away from each other while each of your hands gently fall back to your sides.
“Leave it to Mackie to be subtle…” Scott intervenes, “Well! Now that all the cool kids are here, why don’t you, Chris, take our lovely friend here over to the bar to get a drink so we can get this party started!”
——————————————————————————
Silence settles over you and Chris at the busy bar as you wait for the bartender to service you. It’s not necessarily awkward, but definitely not comfortable. You take this moment to breathe in the New York air to soothe your nerves, while also starkly avoiding eye contact with the handsome devil to your left. But after a while, you decide to take the lead with small talk.
“Hey... I am SUPER sorry about my ‘banana’ joke earlier. I didn’t mean to--”
“Stop. It’s fine, really. Don’t beat yourself up about it.” You exhale a little at his words, relieved you didn't offend him. “I’m the one who should say ‘sorry’... I normally laugh at jokes about myself.”
“Then why didn’t you? You left me hanging out there!” He chuckles a bit as he sips his beer. Now it’s his turn to exhale.
“Wanna talk about it?”
“Nope.”
“Ok, that’s, uh… cool.” Chris side glances at you, finding your nervous energy amusing... and endearing. He decides to mess with you a little.
“So, how long have you been acting?”
“Oh, uh... not that long. I’ve done a few things here and there, but this is my first serious role.”
“Ok. And how long have you been single?” Realizing how that might’ve sounded suggestive, he attempts to backtrack. “I didn’t mean like-- just Mackie made mention-- I wasn’t like-- ‘s just trying to mess with you a little...” Well THAT backfired.
You couldn’t help but giggle at seeing him flustered. “I guess it’s my turn to say, ‘It’s fine’?” to this, Chris is visably relieved. “Yeah, I would also apologize for Mackie’s behavior, but you’ve known him longer than I have, so I’ll let you claim him when he acts like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like a meddling… muffdiver…?” you couldn’t think of anything good, but Chris laughs heartily at this. You can’t help but admire his strong, manly features as they melt into something reminiscent of a child. Head thrown back, clutching his chest, boisterous laughter booming from him. You can’t help but join him in laughing at your lame joke.
“So does this mean I owe you an apology?” He leans on the bar, looking every bit the yacht daddy and gives you a sly smirk. Is he… flirting?
“I guess so. I’m waiting…” you say, tapping your imaginary watch and a sly smirk of your own. Am I flirting??
“Well, tough luck… ‘Kid’. You’ll be waiting forever. I’m not apologizing for shit Mackie does cos he’s my amazing friend who I’ll always ‘claim’ and love unconditionally… even if he acts like a ‘meddling muffdiver’.”
“First of all: aww! That was very bromantic of you.” Chris chuckles at your unique term, making a mental note to use it sometime. It’s cute. Like her smile…
“And Secondly?”
“Secondly… I’ve only begrudgingly given Mackie permission to call me ‘Kid’.”
“Why’s that?”
“I guess… Cos he’s like an uncle to me, and you gotta let him have some things,” you laugh to yourself thinking of your relationship with Anthony.
“But don’t let the nickname fool ya!” You continued, “I’m a grown ass woman, at a grown ass party, ready to have some fun, and shake my grown ass… “
“Ass?” You both pause for a moment before bursting into laughter. It’s great to laugh with someone like this…
“I’ll admit: I didn’t think about where that line of ranting would land.” You both take a brief moment to take each other in. Looking at him while he’s looking at you starts to make your face feel hot, so you break the silence.
“So… what are we celebrating tonight? I’m kinda new to this scene,”
“You know what, I don’t even know what. I was invited by a few different people, each with their own reasons for coming. So, anything really. ”
You’re finally served your drinks and make the short walk back over to Anthony and Scott. When you reached them you raised your glass to signal you were making a toast.
“Well, here’s to good health, good company, endless creativity, and, and…”
“Grown-ass asses!” Chris finishes for you.
“Amen! Salud!” You all clinked drinks, but Mackie and Scott were confused by the last bit.
“You had to be there,” Chris answered with a wink in your direction when they inquired. You blushed slightly, never more thankful for your melanin to cover it up.
Mackie and Scott looked between you and Chris, confusion etched on their faces, as you’d only been alone for all of 5 minutes. They resolved into knowing, satisfied looks between each other.
This goes unnoticed by you and Chris. The pair of you start talking about the movie that you’re starting next month with his brother and friend.
This turns into talking about how you met them, more laughter, some refilled drinks, more conversation, then light touches to arms and hands. The touches were unintentional, but welcomed by both of you, leading to lots of coy smiles and lingering looks. Tonight might not be so bad after all…

Cabaret Club Czar Training - YUKI (Part 4)
yuki’s training continues! this time she and majima discuss personal improvement, unsuccessful job hunting, and how yuki ended up as a hostess.
highlights: - majima being very kind and supportive to yuki regardless of the option chosen - yuki still being too nervous to even theoretically sit a job interview - majima making brazen assumptions about yuki’s love life...
full transcript under the cut!
---
MAJIMA: Okay, ready for another round of talking?
YUKI: Yes, please!
M: Wow, Yuki-chan. You've got those battle butterflies all sorted out, don't ya?
Y: Well, it is just you, Majima-san.
M: Hey, we'll have none of that, thanks.
M: Alright! I'm the customer, you're the hostess, same as always. Are ya ready?
Y: Yeah! Of course!
Y: Welcome to Club Sunshine, Yuki! I mean, customer!
M: ...We still ain't there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y: Majima-san, thank you for requesting me. It's pretty cold today, isn't it?
M: Hey, Yuki-chan. You're lookin' cute as ever today.
Y: Haha... Hahahahaha...
M: Yo, what's with the giggles? I'm tryin' to talk to you like a customer would.
Y: Oh, I'm sorry! Majima-san, when you're the one telling me I'm cute, I can't help it... Hahaha.
M: Well, whatever works. At least you're doing okay when it's me you're practicin' with.
Y: Y-Yeah. I used to get nervous even talking to you, Majima-san. But with your help, I feel like... I'm getting it now.
Y: Even the conversations with my customers are getting longer lately. I'm actually starting to have fun at work!
M: That so? What ya been talkin' about?
Y: Everything and nothing. What they've done recently, what they ate... Oh, and hobbies!
M: Hobbies? Yeah, I seem to recall yours was...
> Writing in a diary.
M: ...Writing in a diary, right?
Y: That's right! I've recently started keeping a log of the customers I get each day, and I note all of their unique qualities and conversation topics.
M: Ah, that's some nice dedication to your customers. Way to go, Yuki-chan.
Y: I know my customer service skills aren't that great yet, so I thought I'd do what I can to get better.
Y: Well, I'm still working at it. I know I've got room to grow.
M: Hey, that's some good stuff right there, Yuki-chan. You've come a real long way.
> Bonsai.
M: It was bonsai, right?
Y: Wow, Majima-san, you actually remembered I raise bonsai? That's amazing! I only mentioned it briefly, didn't I?
M: Heh. When you're working at a cabaret club, a steel trap memory is half the battle.
Y: That's true. I found myself forgetting little things, so I started keeping a log of my customers' unique qualities and conversation topics in my diary.
M: Ahh, so now you've practically got a case file on your customers. Way to go, Yuki-chan.
Y: I know my customer service skills aren't that great yet, so I thought I'd do what I can to get better.
Y: Well, I'm still working at it. I know I've got room to grow.
M: Hey, that's some good stuff right there, Yuki-chan. You've come a real long way.
> Reading self-help books.
M: ...Reading relationship self-help books, right?
Y: N-No, it isn't! I mean, I guess I did read one. Once.
M: Yeah, what was the line you fed me? “Meat and potatoes are the quickest way to a man's heart!” Somethin' like that?
Y: Ahhhhh! Seriously! Just forget about that, please!
M: Heh heh heh.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M: So, the club's come quite a long way, hasn't it? And you've been here since the beginning to see it all change.
Y: Yes, right. I've only been here for six months, though. I graduated from college just this year.
M: Yeah, remember when this place had three girls in it, including you?
M: So tell me somethin'. Why's a girl like you working in a club like this, anyway?
Y: Th-That's because...
M: Last time I asked, ya clammed up just like this. Maybe it's time ya cleared the air.
Y: ...... (uehh..)
Y: I... I couldn't find a job.
M: Eh?
Y: After I graduated from college, my job search was going nowhere, and I couldn't find anything!
M: Really? In this day and age? Companies are practically hirin' bums off the street, and you couldn't get a bite?
Y: I-It's true! I'm a pathetic woman who couldn't get an offer from a single company!
Y: I do pretty well on written tests, but I get nervous easily, so I'm terrible at interviews. I'm not a good liar like most people are, either.
Y: *sighs* I'm a real loser, aren't I?
> They were clueless.
M: Lettin' someone like you slip through the cracks was a mistake, Yuki-chan. Those fool companies were clueless.
Y: What?
M: Look around ya. It's the times we're in. Everybody's dressed to the nines in lies and vanity, tryin' to one up the competition.
M: But you don't do that. You just put yourself out there the way ya are, honest almost to a fault.
M: I wanna work with people I can believe in. I'd hire an awkward gal who can't tell a lie over a buncha smooth-talkin' succubi any day of the week.
Y: Majima-san, you've made me so happy. I... faced a lot of rejection, but in the end, I'm glad I got to work here.
M: Really?
Y: Yes. Otherwise, I never would have learned to talk to people like this. And I met you, Majima-san, along with everyone else here.
M: Well then, I'm glad ya got rejected too. If you weren't here at the club, who knows what woulda happened.
Y: I'm glad I'm awkward.
> Honesty is a talent.
M: I'd say bein' unable to tell a lie is actually a pretty positive quality, Yuki-chan.
Y: What?
M: Look around ya. It's the times we live in. Everybody's dressed to the nines in lies and vanity, tryin'to one up the competition.
M: But you don't do that. You just put yourself out there the way ya are, honest almost to a fault.
M: I wanna work with people I can believe in. I'd hire an awkward gal who can't tell a lie over a buncha smooth-talkin' succubi any day of the week.
Y: Majima-san, you've made me so happy. I... faced a lot of rejection, but in the end, I'm glad I got to work here.
M: Really?
Y: Yes. Otherwise, I never would have learned to talk to people like this. And I met you, Majima-san, along with everyone else here.
M: Well then, I'm glad ya got rejected too. If you weren't here at the club, who knows what woulda happened.
Y: I'm glad I'm awkward.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M: So how'd it happen? I imagine ya musta met Youda-chan somehow, eh?
Y: Yeah. I was spacing out at a park by myself. I shudder to think what would've happened if he didn't approach me.
M: Interesting. I wonder what possessed Youda-chan to roll up on you.
Y: I remember him saying, “There's something brilliant within you! You're the kind of girl that only appears once in a decade!” That's Youda-san for you.
M: Oh. Uhh... I see.
Y: Youda-san is a really bad judge of character, isn't he?
M: Nah, nah, I disagree.
M: So, Yuki-chan, if you could get a normal day job now, would ya still wanna go do that instead of the cabaret club?
Y: I don't know. Until recently, I really wanted to quit this job, to be honest.
Y: But now, I want to see what I can make of myself at this club for a while.
M: I see.
Y: Of course, at some point I'd like to resume my job search and try to get an office job.
Y: But, this club is a comfortable place to be, and I learn so much every day. So I'm thinking maybe I should grow up a little more here before I start looking again.
> You gotta get sexier.
M: If that's the case, your next goalpost's gotta be sexiness.
Y: Me, s-sexy? Why's that?
M: Considering the world we live in, bein' sexy is a great way to land an interview. Women got some tools men don't, so ain't no harm in usin' em.
Y: I-I see. That makes sense. Maybe I failed my interviews because I wasn't sexy enough.
M: Yeah, maybe that was the problem. And maybe a bunch of other things, too...
M: Nothin' better than an interviewer flustered by a sexy woman, though. He's tryin' to ask ya questions when all he really wants to know is the color of your damn underwear!
Y: O-Okay! But I wouldn't want to answer that question...
> You can network here!
M: Ya never know, one of your clients could turn out to be a corporate manager.
Y: What?
M: If he likes ya, he might offer you a job right there on the spot. Haha.
Y: Whaaat? Though I guess that does happen in manga!
Y: Wh-What would I do? I'm getting nervous just thinking about it...
M: Hey, relax, Yuki-chan. Lay your best line on me.
Y: Wh-What can I do for you Mr. President... My name Yuki... It nice to meet you...
M: Oh man, you sound more nervous than a foreigner on her first day at a shady bar.
> I'll work ya hard!
M: Nice. But fair warning, I'm gonna put the screws to ya!
Y: Y-Yes! I'm looking forward to it! I'll work hard!
M: Heh. You've changed, Yuki-chan. Look at that confidence. I bet you'd ace a company interview now.
Y: R-Really? Heh heh... Hahahaha.
M: ...Just make sure ya don't laugh like that at the interview, or they'll boot ya right out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M: Alright, let's call it a day. Good job, Yuki-chan.
Y: Sure. Thank you very much. Whew... Now I'm getting sleepy all of a sudden, now that I can relax. *yawn*
M: You gettin' enough sleep at night, Yuki-chan?
Y: Oh, y-yes. I just had an unexpected guest over last night, so...
M: Oh, I see. A late night guest, eh? Well, now.
Y: Huh? What is it?
> A lady needs sleep.
M: Nothin', nothin'. Just get your beauty sleep, Yuki-chan.
M: Lack of sleep's bad for the skin! And it's doubly bad if ya fall asleep on the job.
Y: Y-Yes! Thanks for your concern. They say nothing's more important to a woman than her skin, after all. And it would be rude to the customer. I'll be careful!
M: Yeah, nothin' wrong with going out for a night on the town. Just don't overdo it, right?
Y: Huh? Going out? I don't really understand, but, anyway, I'll get more sleep!
> I wish ya the best.
M: Well then, Yuki-chan, I wish ya nothin' but happiness.
Y: Huh? Wh-What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're getting at!
M: It's okay, it's no problem. A bit of a shame, I guess, but if you're happy, I'm happy too.
Y: Um, uh. Thank you? Well, I am happy. I guess I'll keep on being happy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M: Okay, I think that'll do it.
Y: Th-Thank you for the lesson.
M: Sure thing. Good job.

Dangerous Desires- pt 6
chapter 1. chapter 2. chapter 3. chapter 4. chapter 5. 
“Tea’s ready love,” Jane smiled lightly as she handed the mug to her girl. “Let’s go get comfortable on the couch, yes?”
The pair made their way into the living room, and the blonde gestured for Kat to take a seat before crossing the room to turn on a light. Kat, who was more than happy to wait for Jane, stood in her place as she watched the woman adjust to the light in the room.
“Oh gosh,” the foster mum mumbled as she blinked a few times in rapid succession. “There we go.” The teen couldn’t help but giggle at the woman’s antics.
Jane sat first, placing her mug on the side table, before Katherine unceremoniously fell into the spot next to her and curled into her warmth.
“Alright love, what else did you want to touch on?” Jane stroked the girl’s hair soothingly.
“Well,” Kat took a sip of her warm drink. “I know you already told me why you didn’t give up on me that first night but...”
After being in the foster system for some time, Katherine Howard had learned that she needed to fend for herself when it came to dining. Few houses had provided her with three meals a day, and even fewer houses had provided her with enough food to leave her full after each meal. Over the years, she had learned to hold onto a plastic tupperware container that was gifted to her by an older girl in one of the first homes she was in- a tupperware container that she would never lose.
So far, this Jane Seymour woman had provided her with more than enough food at dinner, often being told that she was more than welcome to dig into seconds. Above that, the kind woman that had recently taken her in? She had a loaded pantry that the teen was supposedly allowed access to whenever she was feeling a bit peckish. Katherine remembered being shown the pantry for the first time, having feelings of this house being too good to be true.
“And here is the pantry. I’ve got it stocked with some things I thought kids your age might like. Feel free to come and grab a snack whenever you’re feeling hungry. Any time of day or night is fine; just try not to spoil main meals, okay?” the blonde encouraged.
“Wow,” was all Katherine could breathe out. “You don’t like, lock your pantry or anything?”
“The only things that stay locked in this household are the front door at night or when we aren’t home and my wine cabinet, which- no, you will not have access to until you’re eighteen,” Jane laughed a bit. “The pantry has never been locked, and will never be locked. It’s always stocked with more than enough snacks for you to enjoy if you so choose. I promise you dear,” she let the term of endearment slip out, noticing the way that the girl before her had tried her best to conceal her smile upon hearing it. Had others really locked their pantries, not allowing the foster children to eat?
Jane Seymour’s house almost seemed too good to be true. The foster mum would stay true to her word- the cabinets and pantries were never locked. The only things that would lock were Jane’s wine cabinet and the front door when they went to bed. That didn’t stop the teen from preparing for the worst though.
She never quite trusted the “you can get food even when I’m not around” idea that Jane had thrown around like it was nothing. The teen would only get a snack when Jane invited her to- at least in the beginning of her stay.
“I’m back,” Katherine would call into the house as she came back from school, dropping her bag onto a in the living room.
“Hi love!” Jane would poke her head out from the kitchen. “How was school?”
“It was... school,” Kat laughed lightly, still a bit bashful about genuinely being cared for. “I’m glad I’m back though.”
“I am too! It’s so nice to have someone else around the house. Would you like a snack dear?” Kat would shrug at this. “Well, I know I’m feeling a bit hungry. How about we have a snack together?”
“That... would be nice,” the teen would agree. It was still odd being offered food at all, much less snacks.
“Is there anything you're in the mood for?” Jane would hum while stirring whatever concoction she was making for that night’s dinner. “Go on and look in the pantry and pick out what you’d like. I’ll be good for anything.”
The two would find themselves in this situation often.
Katherine Howard had studied the blonde very closely, and she seemingly followed a daily schedule strictly. Wake up at 6, head to work by 6:45 to be there at 7, and return home before Katherine was finished with school. The teen assumed she would shower quickly before preparing dinner to be served at 6, settle onto the couch until around 10:30, and head to bed by 11. 
The teen watched where the woman would step, making note of any particular spots that would creak as she walked through the rooms carelessly. She would make note of where the different furniture was laid so as to not bump into it. 
And so, one night a few weeks into her stay, she found herself doing what she had done in so many of the other foster homes: creeping down the steps in her silent manner to the kitchen where she could safely steal stash away a few things in case she wasn't to be provided with a meal in the future. The girl was fairly certain Jane was in a deep sleep in her room, and so she started on her journey for the night. Opening her tupperware as quietly as possible, she slipped out of her own room and down the stairs, careful to not make a sound. She had made her way into the kitchen before carefully opening the pantry door. Grabbing a few granola bars as well as a small bag of crisps, she shoved them into her container before turning to close the door. 
“Kat?” Jane’s voice, clearly rough with sleep, sounded confused. Quickly, the teen hid the tupperware behind her back.
“Uh,” Katherine couldn’t say anything else. What was she supposed to say? She had just gotten caught stealing food, and on the first attempt. A rookie mistake if you asked the girl. “What are you doing down here? I thought you were asleep.”
“I woke up a bit thirsty and figured a nice cup of tea would help. What are you doing up love? Hungry?”
“Uh, yeah, sure.” Kat winced at her unconvincing tone. So foolish.
“Well, go on dear. You know you’re more than welcome to anything in the pantry at any time. What were we thinking tonight? Would you also like a cup?”
The kindness that this woman was showing her at one in the morning was enough to make the young one burst into tears.
“Wha-What’s wrong honey?” The blonde didn’t seem angry or annoyed in the slightest at the sudden emotion the girl was showing- just confused.“Are you alright?”
“I- Why are you being so nice to me when you clearly know I’m stealing your food?” Katherine produced the tupperware container filled with food and forcefully held it out for Jane to take. “Here. Just take it. Take your food back, throw me out, but please give me my container back.”
Jane’s eyes went wide as she gently pushed the container still full of food back into the girl’s possession. 
“Oh sweetheart,” Jane sighed. It was clear to the woman that the girl in her custody had some tough times in the system before her if she was resorting to taking food when she thought the blonde was asleep. “No. I...” How was she supposed to go about this?
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” Katherine cried before clearing her throat and speaking again. This time her voice would be strong. “Just take your food back, and I’ll be out by the time you wake up tomorrow.” It was almost as if the girl had said those words before, for there was no emotion behind it. 
“You don’t have to leave Kat. I don’t want you to leave,” Jane said earnestly.
“Well then, at least take your food back. I’m sorry. I won’t go into the pantry again.”
Jane opened her arms, only to watch the teen before her flinch slightly. “Oh shoot. Honey, I’m sorry. I’m not going to hit you. C-can I hug you?” That was certainly different from the past. Someone was asking permission to touch her? Katherine thought she lost that right years ago. She nodded slightly, making her way to the woman- food container still clutched in her hands.
“I-I’m sorry.” The emotion returned to the girl quickly as she fell into the warm embrace of her foster mother. “I- I’m really, really sorry.” And she meant it. She hadn’t meant most of her apologies to the other foster parents in the past, but it was different with Jane.
“Darling, it’s really okay; I promise you. It’s okay.”
“B-but it’s not. I was about to steal food from you, the kindest person to take me in,” Kat blubbered on.
“Oh honey,” Jane cooed. “Come on. Let’s make some tea and get cozy on the couch, and then I’d like to have a talk with you.” The blonde could feel the girl tense in her hold. “And no, it’s not the “get out of my house” talk, so don’t even think of it as that, yes?” Her tone was gentle, but it left no room for questioning. 
The two had settled on the couch, Katherine refusing to uncurl herself from the kind woman. 
“Alright love,” Jane started softly. “I want to ask you a few questions, and I want you to answer them as truthfully as you can, okay?” She felt Kat nod on her shoulder. “Okay, have there been houses that haven't fed you properly?”
“Uh, a lot. Yeah.”
“Have you taken food from others without them knowing before?”
“Yeah,” she said, guilt evident in her voice.
“When did you start this?” There was no malicious intent behind this question, or at least there wasn't from what Katherine could hear.
“It was the third house I was in. There was a girl who had been there for a while and was basically just waiting to age out of the system- Julia. She gave me the container. She... something happened, and that container is all I have left of her.”
“I’m so sorry for your loss honey,” Jane mumbled to the girl. This girl had gone through more heartache than any child her age should have to.
“It’s-” the teen stopped herself. It wasn’t okay, and she felt as though she didn’t have to say it was to Jane. “-Thank you.”
“Okay, so here’s... here’s what I’m going to say about tonight: we forget it happened.”
“We- we forget it happened?” Katherine was beyond confused. Most would’ve shouted at her until their faces turned purple, and then some. 
“Yes. It never happened. But I do want to say this, and I want you to remember this: I know you’ve been hurt and lied to before in the past about the availability of food. But I promise you- it is never an issue for you to take what you want. It doesn’t have to be in secret, and it can be at any time of day or night. Anything in the pantry is up for grabs, and you should never feel bad about taking food. That being said, I completely understand your hesitation to believe me. So, I want you to take the tupperware container from Julia, and the food in it. Put it in a safe place in your room if you feel like you should- somewhere I won’t find it. And that way, you’re always prepared. I won’t ever stop providing you with meals and snacks as long as you're in my care, but I’m sure it might help you feel better to know you have food if I ever were to stop. Yeah?”
“You wouldn’t be mad if I did that?”
“Of course not Kat. You have your reasons to have your guard up, and I understand that. I’m never going to stop you from preparing for the worst; I’ll just show you it’s never going to happen.”
“T-thank you.” The teen was shocked. In a true act of bravery, she decided to ask her own question. “C-can I ask you a question?”
“I think it’s only fair that if I asked you something, you should be able to in return.”
“H-have you ever stopped feeding a child in your care before?”
“Never, love.” Jane stated determinedly. “No child should ever, ever have to go hungry. And I would never let a child go hungry. I’m so sorry homes have let you down like that.”
“O-okay. Uhm, thank you Jane,” Kat stifled a yawn, almost leaning into the warm woman more.
“Of course honey. Now, I think it’s about time to head on up to bed, yes? We’ve got things to do tomorrow.” Jane’s gaze was still as soft as it was when she entered the kitchen, and even though Katherine knew she had done wrong, she couldn’t help but feel slightly better about the whole situation. 
“Yeah,”Kat untangled herself from Jane’s light hold and stood, forgetting about the container of food she had set on the coffee table. “Goodnight, and thank you again.” She went to walk away when Jane’s soothing voice stopped her.
“Kat, dear?” She turned around to see the blonde holding out the tupperware container. “You seem to be forgetting this.”
“Oh,” Kat let herself crack a smile. “Thank you Jane. Goodnight.”
The girl would head to bed, falling asleep rather quickly and peacefully knowing that she was safe in the house, at least for another day. Jane Seymour on the other hand would sit on the couch to finish her tea, wondering how anyone could treat Katherine in such terrible regard. She may have only known the girl for a few weeks, but she was certain that whatever happened in the past was not the teen’s fault. It was entirely the foster families’. 
“Kat dear?” Jane had knocked on her bedroom door a couple days after the pantry situation happened.
“Yes?” she heard the sweet voice.
“Can I come in? I have something I’d like to give to you.”
“You can come in!” The blonde opened the door slowly and smiled at the sight of Katherine sitting on her bed doing her homework. 
Leaning against the doorframe, she said, “Hun, it’s a Saturday. Why are you doing schoolwork?”
“I just- I want to get good marks.” A lie. Before, Katherine Howard couldn’t have cared less about her grades. But being in the Seymour household had changed her mind- she wanted to do good for Jane.
“Mhmm,” Jane hummed. “Well, I have something for you. It’s not much, but...” she crossed the room and handed a present bag to the girl on her bed.
“Oh, thank you so much.” Kat hesitated to open what was in the bag.
“Well, I appreciate your gratitude, but you haven’t even opened it yet,” Jane giggled. “Go on, you can open it.”
The teen peered inside of the bag, to see two more tupperware containers filled with non-perishable food. She pulled them out to get a better look of what was in it before setting them down.
“Thank you,” she smiled genuinely. “C-can I hug you?”
“Oh you’re welcome dear. And of course; you don’t have to ask.”
“I stand by what I said three years ago Kat,” A present day Jane Seymour smiled down. “No child should ever, ever have to go hungry, and I would never let a child go hungry. Never have, never will. And I also understood where you were coming from. You had reason to not believe me. I wasn’t going to stop you from preparing for the worst- it would’ve only made you more anxious not having food in case. I just knew I had to show you I would never leave you without food. And I do hope I’ve gained your trust on that one.”
“You have. Do you wanna know something crazy?” Kat’s eyes gleamed with mischief as she took another sip of her tea.
“Lay it on me,” Jane laughed lightly, stroking the girl’s hair.
“The food that you gave me that night? It was the first and last time I ever filled those tupperware containers. They’re sitting empty in my room and have been for about two years now.”
“Yeah?” Jane looked surprised.
“Mhmm,” Kat nodded. “I didn't need to fill them again. You never stopped providing, and after a year, I figured I was pretty safe to stop preparing for the worst.”
“That’s wonderful love.” The woman pressed a tender kiss to the girl’s hairline.
The older woman thought they were done going down memory lane and addressing why Jane hadn’t given up on her. The younger girl had different thoughts though as she dove into her next question.

Make me family
The prompt for Day 6 was “Found Family”
“Am I sick?” Lan Jingyi morosely asks as he walks into Lan Sizhui’s room.
Lan Sizhui is in bed, reading one of the old tomes he found in Lan Qiren’s house last week, and Lan Jingyi doesn’t even hesitate to slide into bed with him.
This week has been fucking strange and he might be in need of a little bit of comfort now.
Lan Sizhui makes space for him, allows Lan Jingyi to burrow close and adjust so that he could still read if he wanted to. He will go back to that in a second, Lan Jingyi knows, but right now he has his boyfriend’s attention.
“You’re not hot,” Lan Sizhui tells him after he pressed the back of his hand to Lan Jingyi’s forehead.
“Wow, thanks a lot, babe,” Lan Jingyi grumbles, and it wasn’t meant like that, he knows it wasn’t, but it still stings a little bit.
Lan Jingyi blames this whole fucking week.
“You don’t feel hot,” Lan Sizhui immediately amends. “You’re the hottest thing I’ve ever seen, you know that,” he reassures Lan Jingyi, even though he knows it’s not true; they have both seen Wen Qing put a fucking dimwit in his place, and nothing gets hotter than that.
“Am I dying then?” he asks, and slings his arms around Lan Sizhui’s middle. “Were there some tests I’m not aware of, and are they saying I’m dying?”
“You’re not dying,” Lan Sizhui calms him down and then puts the book to the side.
Lan Jingyi might be dying if it’s serious enough for Lan Sizhui to abandon his reading.
“What’s going on?” Lan Sizhui wants to know and Lan Jingyi doesn’t want to talk about it, doesn’t even want to think about it, because if he’s not dying and he’s not sick then the only other possible solution is that every stable and dependable parental figure he ever had in his life is gearing up to tell him to get lost.
And he isn’t sure he could handle that.
So instead of saying anything, he presses his face into Lan Sizhui’s neck and just stays there for a bit. Or a really long time.
“Jingyi,” Lan Sizhui eventually mutters and starts to card his fingers through Lan Jingyi’s hair.
It’s not really helping him stay awake, but when he doesn’t answer for a long time, Lan Sizhui gently tugs at his hair.
“What is going on?” Lan Sizhui asks again and Lan Jingyi sighs.
“Everyone is being weird,” Lan Jingyi complains and Lan Sizhui makes an inquiring noise, one that Lan Jingyi is sure he learned from his dad.
“Why would that mean something with you is off? Maybe everyone else lost their marbles,” Lan Sizhui tries to lighten the mood but Lan Jingyi shakes his head.
“They are normal with everyone else. It’s just me. They are being strange with me,” he lowly admits and then it just tumbles all out.
“Uncle Wuxian asked me if he should come to my parent-teacher night, Uncle Wangji offered to teach me to cook, Uncle Cheng smiled at me and then hugged me, Great-uncle Qiren is dropping gentle hints that I should start packing my things up and Uncle Xichen asked me for room decoration tips!”
What Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had asked and offered hadn’t really struck him as all that strange, but then Lan Qiren had started to bring boxes home and then Lan Xichen wanted to know how to best decorate a new room and Jiang Cheng had actually, honest to god smiled at him, and he only did that to his husband.
Or apparently dying people. Or people who are about to be kicked out of the only family they ever knew.
“I don’t want to leave,” Lan Jingyi whispers into Lan Sizhui’s shirt and he can feel the tears burn in his eyes.
He is forever grateful to them all for treating him like he is family, especially after his parents vanished, and he knows they just recently handed Lan Qiren guardianship of him, but it seems like that was too much now.
They are gearing up to kicking him out, and Lan Jingyi has no clue what he is going to do.
“What are you even talking about?” Lan Sizhui demands to know and he tightens his hold on Lan Jingyi.
“Lan Qiren wants me out of the house, Lan Xichen is going to re-decorate the room I had at his and Uncle Jiang’s place, and your dads are just teaching me how to be self-sufficient enough to not die once they kick me out. Jiang Cheng is probably just trying to soften the blow, but really, he’s making it worse.” Lan Jingyi takes a deep breath when his voice cracks on the last word. “I don’t want to leave,” Lan Jingyi mutters again.
“I know I’m just a burden on all of them, I mean, I’m not family, I get that, and I am so, so grateful that they were always there for me, even Lan Qiren in his weird way, and I get that it just had to be too much eventually, that I had to be too much, I mean we both know how I am, and that you even put up with me for this long is a miracle in itself, and if they kick me out, will I still be able to see you?” Lan Jingyi rambles and he can’t help the tears that escape him.
Because for all that they aren’t his parents, they are still his family; the only people he has ever known to be stable and caring and there for him, and Lan Jingyi is only fifteen. He doesn’t know how to survive on his own, cooking lessons or not.
“No one is going to kick you out!” Lan Sizhui protests and presses a hard kiss to Lan Jingyi’s head. “You’ve got it all wrong, they love you so much,” he tells him and Lan Jingyi scoffs.
“Yeah, right.”
“Get up,” Lan Sizhui demands, and Lan Jingyi’s stomach drops out.
He has feared that this day would come eventually, at the latest when they really did kick him out, but he hasn’t expected it to be so soon. But of course Lan Sizhui would eventually just be fed up with him.
“It’s not what you think, you lovable, adorable idiot, I just want you to get up, so we can go downstairs. I love you,” Lan Sizhui explains, because he knows Lan Jingyi too well apparently and Lan Jingyi allows himself to breathe again.
“I love you too,” he gives back, because it’s important Lan Sizhui knows that, but he only smiles at him and drags Lan Jingyi out of bed, fingers intertwined, and Lan Jingyi can do nothing but follow him.
Lan Sizhui drags him downstairs towards the kitchen, where everyone is assembled, and Lan Sizhui motions for him to be silent and just observe. Lan Jingyi doesn’t know how that is supposed to explain anything, but he does as Lan Sizhui wants.
“That hardly counts,” Jiang Cheng says with a scoff and Wei Wuxian gapes at him.
“How does that not count?” he demands to know. “I was there when he took his first steps and where were you, huh?”
“I was there when he said his first words, so you better shut your mouth now,” Jiang Cheng immediately gives back.
“No wonder he never stops talking,” Wei Wuxian mutters and ducks his head when Lan Qiren throws him a scathing glance.
Lan Jingyi gives Lan Sizhui a questioning glance, but he just motions for him to wait and continue to listen.
“You have your hands full with Sizhui already,” Lan Xichen chimes in.
“Not true,” Lan Wangji immediately gives back, “he’s a good boy.”
“Yes, he is, so clearly our parenting method is awesome and would only benefit him.”
Lan Jingyi still has no idea what they are talking about, but he has to agree with Wei Wuxian there. Lan Sizhui is the best.
“And how come only you get to have a whole, happy family?” Jiang Cheng asks. “Don’t we deserve a kid, too?”
“You’ve only been married for a year. It’s way too early for kids for you,” Wei Wuxian immediately shoots back.
“We’ve been together for almost as long as you,” Jiang Cheng says, clearly affronted.
“And not to insult your profession, Wei Wuxian, but we both have stable incomes,” Lan Xichen adds, putting a comforting hand on Jiang Cheng’s arm.
“I make more money than Jiang Cheng does!”
“If you get a commission, that’s true,” Lan Qiren says as he looks over some reports. “But that’s not a stable income. And he needs stability.”
“It’s not like we’re lacking in money, uncle,” Lan Wangji says, and Lan Jingyi has to agree.
He’s still a minor, but every Lan knows that they don’t really have to worry about money, ever. Their family is too wealthy for that.
“Didn’t you just complain last week that you were looking forward to more time with your husband?” Jiang Cheng changes the topic. “Do you think you’ll get that with a second child?”
“Are they going to adopt again?” Lan Jingyi lowly asks Lan Sizhui, who shushes him with a glare.
“He’s hardly a child,” Lan Qiren admonishes, and Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes.
“He’s young enough to deserve all the love and guidance parents should give him,” he shoots back, and Lan Jingyi wonders why Lan Sizhui wanted him to see this.
Is this why they are going to kick him out of the family, so that they can adopt another child? Will his room be turned into a nursery for someone else to get loved by these families?
Lan Jingyi can hardly stand the thought.
“I still think it should be us,” Lan Xichen calmly but imploringly says. “If only for the reason so he doesn’t have to explain that he’s not actually dating his brother.”
What?
“What?” Lan Jingyi blurts out and everyone turns towards him.
“Jingyi,” Wei Wuxian exclaims and though he seems surprised he seems happy to see him. “We didn’t know you were here.”
“I came in through the back,” Lan Jingyi numbly explains. “What is going on here?”
“Jingyi thinks you’re going to kick him out of the family,” Lan Sizhui explains and drags Lan Jingyi into the kitchen with him, their hands still joined. “Maybe you should explain, now.”
“We’re not going to kick you out, kiddo,” Jiang Cheng immediately says and pulls him into a half-hug, because Lan Jingyi is unwilling to let go of Lan Sizhui.
“We’re trying to decide who gets to adopt you,” Lan Xichen explains to him and slides some papers over the table, so Lan Jingyi can read them.
They are adoption papers. His adoption papers.
“What?” he weakly asks, because nothing makes sense right now.
“Jingyi, your parents gave me guardianship over you,” Lan Qiren explains.
“I know that.”
“They also signed their parental rights away with that. They made you eligible for adoption. I don’t think I should be the one to adopt you, so I went to my nephews.”
“And they both want to adopt you,” Lan Sizhui gently tells him and Lan Jingyi needs to sit down, right now.
“We’re just trying to figure out who gets the privilege of calling you son,” Wei Wuxian says.
Lan Jingyi immediately bursts into tears. He’s blaming this entire week for that.
“Shh, it’s okay,” Jiang Cheng says as he gathers him up in a hug.
Lan Jingyi is too busy with crying his eyes out to check, but he’s pretty sure everyone puts a hand on him somewhere, supportive and loving, and it might make Lan Jingyi cry even harder.
It takes a long time for him to calm down again and even then, he’s reluctant to pull away from Jiang Cheng.
“You want to adopt me?” he asks, voice small and unsure, and Jiang Cheng hugs him even tighter.
“Of course we want to adopt you, kiddo. Why else would Xichen ask you how you want to decorate your room?”
“I asked you if I could come to parent-teacher night!” Wei Wuxian exclaims. “What did you think that was about?”
“I’m not—I don’t know. I never thought—,” he trails off, because this is all a bit much right now, and he clings to Jiang Cheng’s shirt.
“Jingyi, you are family no matter who adopts you, really, and we’re sorry if we ever made you think something else,” Lan Xichen says.
“We all love you,” Lan Wangji adds and for the first time Lan Jingyi gets why Wei Wuxian always gets so flustered when Lan Wangji says these things.
It’s a lot to take in, to have it stated so clearly.
“We’ve been trying to decide on this for a week now,” Wei Wuxian says.
“And I told them they should just tell you, but they wanted to surprise you,” Lan Sizhui explains, and Lan Jingyi doesn’t even have to look at him to know that he’s rolling his eyes.
“Since you know now, and we’re still not closer to an agreement, maybe you’d want to decide?” Lan Xichen asks him, and Lan Jingyi tightens his grip on Jiang Cheng.
“It’s okay, kiddo, you can think about it if you want to,” Jiang Cheng reassuringly tells him, but Lan Jingyi shakes his head.
He knows what he wants.
He loves Uncle Wuxian and Wangji, but Lan Jingyi knows himself. There will always be a part of him that will believe they only tolerate him for Lan Sizhui and that he can never be as good of a son as he is, even though that is not true.
And if Lan Jingyi is honest with himself, when someone asks him about his home, he always thinks of the room in Uncle Xichen’s and Cheng’s place. He doesn’t have a lot of his belongings there, he’s technically living with Lan Qiren, but that room feels like his in a way he can’t explain. His home is with Uncle Xichen and Cheng, and Lan Jingyi knows that every time Jiang Cheng calls him ‘kiddo’ something in him gets lighter and every time Lan Xichen expresses his affection with praise or a smile or an encouraging touch he gets a little bit happier.
And on a very pragmatic level, Lan Xichen is right. It would suck if he always had to explain that he’s not actually dating his brother.
So, really, it’s not a question for him.
“Would you really adopt me?” he asks Jiang Cheng.
“In a heartbeat,” he immediately says.
Lan Jingyi looks over his shoulder at Lan Xichen.
“Without hesitation,” he also says, and Lan Jingyi can’t help but to cry again.
“Aww, we’ve lost,” Wei Wuxian complains loudly, clearly knowing what Lan Jingyi’s decision will be.
“Didn’t lose,” Lan Wangji disagrees. “We’re uncles. We get to spoil him now.”
“Uhh, you’re right,” Wei Wuxian yells only to be shushed by Lan Qiren.
Lan Jingyi wetly laughs into Jiang Cheng’s shirt and wonders how he could ever doubt the love these people have for him.
“Welcome to the family then,” Jiang Cheng whispers into his ear and Lan Jingyi laughs again.
Maybe this week hasn’t been all bad.
(Lan Jingyi cries when they sign the papers and then again when he gets his official documents, naming him as Lan-Jiang Jingyi. No one says anything because his fathers are right there, crying with him.)

Old Expectations Die Hard (Dashie x Reader Fanfic)
Tumblr media
Chapter One: Weird Circumstances
You know your life is complicated when the friend you always complain to says "you never have a dull moment do you?" I sigh as the weight of the world seems to make it impossible to breath. You see recently things have been rough. I lost my job and my fiance all in the same day, that itself was an unbelievable story. I was so upset and strung out on thoughts of what to do that once i got home early from work i didn't notice the extra car in the driveway. i stepped into my home and my own floors felt as if they'd given way when i saw the guy i thought i'd be spending my life with in bed, with my sister... my sister and i hadn't been on good terms for a while and for a good reason! The drugs she took either made her unreliable and selfish or crazy and murderous. He, of course, pulled the its not what you think, id never hurt you, it was a mistake, and honestly i could write a book out of the excuses i heard in the time of two minutes but maybe another time. Needless to say i left. I never thought about going back and to be honest my sister looked more hurt then i was. I took a job in California a few weeks ago and moved in with my friend (BFF Name). They always seemed to know what to say and honestly i truly believe They  knew me better then i know myself. 
California gave me the biggest culture shock I've ever had. I came from Mississippi, the bible belt and the most rural part of the world. California was sooooo different then what i was use to. The weather is awesome. There's lots of jobs for technical people, at least until you're 45 and then you're considered ancient and you can't possibly know anything when some 23-year old out of Stanford tells you that they know it all. (a little bit of sarcasm there) It's a great place to start a new company, money is available as is talent. The risk of starting a company is lower since you can always find a new job The politics are insane, if you aren't towing the progressive party line you should just STFU. If you even once say that Trump has done something positive, or that Obama did something negative prepare for the wrath. Read the stuff behind the recently filed lawsuit against google for a taste of what it's like. Seriously, don't say a word. The state if structurally bankrupt, although the finances look good because so much stuff is off of the balance sheet. The public pension liability dwarfs the "good" part of the budget, and some day it is coming home to roost. Watch out when it does. The cost of living is absurd, really absurd. I'm not talking just a place to live but gas, electricity, haircuts, milk, pizza, you name it. The traffic is absurd too. (can you tell i like the word absurd) The public transit, although usually on time, is a mess. People are pigs, they throw trash everywhere, the cars are overcrowded almost all the time. 
I've got to say, from how much it sounds like i hate California, i actually don't.  Mainly because its so far away from my original family, leaving really helped me start to grow up and feel like maybe i was getting a hold of my life again. Only problem has been getting to my new job on time. I work as a barista and a waitress at a brunch place a good minute away from the apartment. The money is good, otherwise i wouldn't waste my time with the commute everyday. i keep being late to work because i still haven't adjusted to how terrible traffic is and so my boss was "nice" enough to switch me to the later shifts. The hours are long and boring because my shift starts in the middle of rush hour to the slowest hours at the end of the day meaning you have to find things to keep yourself busy with. the only good thing is, we can wear pretty much anything we want as long as its black. all i wear is dark colors so i didn't have to spend any extra money on a uniform and i didn't have to wear the same thing everyday. Today i decided i wear a v-neck shirt that with an emperor waist (body forming) with black skinny jeans and my regular converse. i decided against driving to work and decided it would be far smarter to catch a bus to the nearest destination. My (hair color) hair was done is a fishtail messy braid, i always liked this style because it made me look like i had a head full of hair when in reality i thought i was going bald. 
My personality was a little odd, you see some days i felt like the beautiful nerd who has no confidence and wants to hide away in a hole. other days i feel like a model from Victoria secrets, of course those are the days i get the most tips. today was honestly a mutual day, where id rather be at home in my bed asleep, or listening to music. The bus finally stopped a block away from my job and i sighed obviously not wanting to go into work. surprisingly there wasn't nearly  as many cars as there usually is around this time but i wasn't complaining. i walk in to see that most of the downstairs was empty but whoever was upstairs definitely had a loud mouth. i walk to the back in order to clock in and i bump into melany ( the girl im shifting with). "wow you actually got here on time! Maybe the boss's mood will cheer up." i huffed a little. "yea, i dont know why i thought id need a car in California, say whats with the low level of customers? its NEVER this slow." she looked at me in disdain, "some guys reserved the entire upstairs and we had to make this huge table out of all our tables up there, glad im not gonna be the one fixing it later." i rolled my eyes, i hated when a huge family came in and they just had to move everything around because little johnny wants the sit next to suzzie and suzzie HAS to sit by her parents bc she likes to throw her food on the floor, all fake names but a real situation ive been in before. "well have they at least been fed so that i only have to clean up after them?" she shook her head while hanging up her apron. "nope, they've only ordered their drinks and they are getting those onto trays now." so today was gonna be like every other day. "guess i better go help them take those upstairs then, have a good rest of your day." i walk away and slip on my apron, grabbed one of the trays of drinks while another waiter grabbed the rest of the drinks. Once i got upstairs, that's when i met him...
Chapter Two: Last Will and Testament
          He was sitting on the far end of the long table of people laughing and joking. everyone seemed to be loud and all had their own inside jokes. This guy, he stuck out. i changed my attention to the task at hand, finishing this shift. i hated when people moved all the tables and seating around. all the waiters and waitresses have to go back behind them and look at the layout of the floor to put them all back exactly as they were before. it was a struggle and because of this nobody actually wanted that job so usually the manager gives it to her least favorite workers and i happened to be one. "who all had coke?" nobody answered me so one of the men bellowed out the same line and somehow was able to get a show of hands. i walked around handing  out drinks, catching the lingering smell of strong liquor. i could tell by the end of tonight they would all be wasted and loud. please, just don't make more of a mess then you have to, i thought to myself. i had one drink left on my tray, "sweet tea?" the guy i saw before at the end of the table waved his hand and i dreaded going over there, i always seem to make a fool of myself when it matters. 
     i make my way slowly down the table with the tray under my arm and the tea in my hand. i lean over to sit his drink on the table.."here's your t-" *CRASH* while joking with one of his friends his elbow crashes into my hand sending the tea flying all over me and the cup crashing to the floor, thank god i wore black. he turned around and looked more horrified then i did. "i'm sorry! i'm so sorry!" his voice was deeper then i imagined it'd be. "no, it my fault i'm sorry ill get you a new one." i turned away to hide my embarrassment and walked away really just trying to get away from the situation. i could tell from the silence behind me that all eyes were on me. i ran to the back where the lockers were for the service. i went to the bathroom and stripped the sticky clothes off throwing them aside. i sat on the toilet  trying to catch my breath, my social anxiety had struck me  hard. a feeling of worthlessness and dread fell over me like a blanket. after the past few months i've had just one day without something terrible happening would mean the world to me. i heard a knock on the door, it was melany, she walked in with a towel from the kitchen. "hey, i heard what happen upstairs are you ok?" i covered my breast trying keep myself as unexposed as possible. "oh yea im fine, im just cold, and sticky, and... covered in tea." melany and i made eye contact and both laughed just to lift the dread in the air. "let me guess, all the guys are getting a kick out of watching me fumble again huh?" i said a little less concerned and more annoyed. she rolled her eyes "they are boys, they get a kick out of picking their own nose. we both slid to the floor beside each other, she hands me the damp towel. i get most of the sticky off as possible, throwing my hair up to make it look less clumped together by the sugar. "i have an extra black t shirt in my locker but i don't know how it will fit you. your breast are at least a size larger then mine." i shrugged my shoulders, "who cares ill make do. thanks for your help melany." she smiled her weird anime girl smile and ran to get the shirt from her locker.
     ill have to admit, she was right about the size thing. it was far to small around the chest area but the rest fit fine. after the incident my boss stuck me down stairs wiping tables and sweeping the floor, i dont mind though because i get to experience the day coming to an end with a beautiful sunset over California. i secretly kept the the window to watch as the sun fell from the sky. the sky seemed to burn and darken while the clouds began to glow with the last bit of sunlight left. the sky filled up with burning Burgundy and faded orange and yellows, the tallest buildings seemed to reach for the skyline as if it were a sunflower moving to the last drip of sunlight. moving here had been hard, and this had become one of the things i looked forwards to. living in the apartment with my friend was nice, buts its not the same as coming home to someone you use to lay with every night. sleeping alone seemed so much colder and emptier then i remembered from childhood. my mother would be so disappointed in the way i turned out, in the places id gone and the decision to spend my life with someone who was most obviously the wrong one. she would have told me to slow down and to take my time, that growing up wasn't everything. she would have said love isn't something you just wake up and have, its something you make. i wasn't anywhere close to where i thought id be by now, and i could see that. it tears at my heart everyday, not being able to see her or any of my family. sometimes it felt as if they'd all died in the fire that night. 
     i suddenly heard a boom of voices making their way down the stairs, i hadn't realized how close to closing time it had become. all of them walk out stumbling and laughing at their own jokes, seems they all got a good bit of drinking in, all except one. The guy i ran into on accident seemed as sober as ever, designated driver i think, he was much taller now. he seemed muscular but in such a fitting way for his body. his teeth sparkle because their so white, his smile complimented him best. his high cheekbones made his chocolate brown eyes his best feature. His skin was glowing with a sweet honey hue and before i could notice that i was staring he turned his head. his eyes met mind before i could think twice and that's when i felt the heat rise to my cheeks. weather it be from embarrassment or silly school girl shyness i didn't know . i turned my face away but it was too late, i turned my face a little just to catch a glimpse of him before he made his way out of the door and that's when i noticed his cheeks had gone from a burnt caramel to a rosy color. i felt my body shiver at the thought that maybe, just maybe he found me as attractive as i found him. i shook the thought from head realizing they had began locking the place down. as i helped close up shop and wash dishes i couldn't help but to let my mine wander to all different kinds of thoughts, funny thing was they always fell back to him and his rosy  cheeks. i couldn't help but smile as i felt my heart race at the thought of him, even though id made a fool of myself today i was glad i hadn't ruined my chances. Even if he'd never get with me or i wouldn't ever see him again, i'd still take it as a compliment that he even looked my way. 
     before long we were all outside laughing and talking about today. The manager locked the doors and said his goodbyes. i turn to walk towards the bus station when i see a man standing aside awkwardly between the restaurant and the parking lot. suddenly my eyes adjusted and once they did, the joyousness butterflies came back and the blush suddenly reappeared on my cheeks..
There are lots more chapter after this if you are interested you can find them here
