You know, personally, I never liked how Ryuunosuke from Urusei Yatsura’s arc ended, with her in a forced engagement to Nagisa and having not beaten her dad. Granted, she sort of seems to warm up to Nagisa, but it always seemed a bit weird to me that the main Ryuunosuke ship was one forced on her by her dad. It feels like Ryuunosuke’s dad wins in a way if Nagisa and Ryuu get together. Granted, I am a big Ryuunosuke x Benten shipper, so this might just be my bias talking.
There’s a lot that can be said about how much wasted potential there was in Ryu, but teasing us with the idea of her dating multiple women throughout the manga (especially Shinobu, Benten, and Ran) only for the boyish girl to end up with the girlish boy is just so unabashedly Rumic that it’s almost hard for me to be upset with it

Pairings: Matt Sturniolo X Female Reader ⚠️SMUT⚠️
Synopsis: During a cabin get away a game of Never Have I ever leaves Y/N embarrassed. And a nice Matt is worried and in love🥹
Warnings⚠️: This is a 18+ story. It’s straight up smut okayyyy. Never have I ever being played, lose of virginity. Sweet cute lovey dovey sex. Madi is the “bad” guy but like I had no other girl to make it so it had to be her. No hate to her tho at all.
Song for the imagine: In my room- Chance Peña
⚠️THIS IS AN 18+ STORY SO MINORS DO NOT INTERACT BEYOND THIS POINT⚠️
The triplets had asked me if I wanted to join them on their trip up to the cabin up in Cape Cod, of course I agreed I would never miss a trip to the Cape, but slowly I was getting a little nervous wondering if they had asked any other girl up to the cape with them. I was relieved when I found out it was only Madi, she was my only girl friend I had. Most girls the triplets would be friends with never liked me, so it made it hard to have friends. I never really cared because most just wanted to fuck Chris or matt, and they were soon dropped which made me laugh.
We had just got to the Cape on a chilly Friday night, and we immediately ran into the house, getting a fire started, and choosing our rooms. I picked the room with one bed, while Nick bunked with Madi and Chris and Matt bunked together. I enjoyed being alone, but sometimes that loneliness felt like seclusion. Madi was their friend first, and introduced me to them so I was close with them, but not as close as she was.
Although she was close with Nick I always felt this vibe that she might’ve liked matt. And it hurt after a while when I started to catch feelings for Matt. He was always there for me, and me and him were always together, that is until Madi comes around then I seclude myself not wanting her to think I wanted Matt. Although they never had anything going on I always knew how she truly felt.I never told her because Matt would never go for a girl like me when Madi was far more gorgeous.
I settled into my room deciding to unpack a few things, and I decided to turn on my Roku tv and cast my Spotify to the screen so I could blast Olivia Rodrigo. As I was unpacking and jamming out Matt came into my room
“Yooo” he said as he threw himself on my bed
“Sup Matt” I said lowering the volume on the tv to hear what he has to say
“We ordered some wings and fries from that spot we drove by on the way down here” he said watching as I put my makeup on the dresser
“Oh nice I’m so hungry” I said looking a him
“Yeah Chris took Madi with him” he said looking down at his phone with a blank stare.
“Oh cool” I said not really caring to respond to that
“So I figured I come chill with you” he said locking his phone and looking at me
“Ouu glad I’m an afterthought” I told him jokingly rolling my eyes
“What no..you just always leave me when Madi comes over to me” he said closing his eyes pretending to sleep
I went to answer but we heard Nick call us down to come eat. We both ran downstairs and sat at the table beginning to eat. As we ate we joked and laughed. My eyes kept wandering over to Matt and seeing Madi looking at him and chatting with him made me a little sad. God I wish he could look at me that way was all I could think.
As I’m continuing to glance at them I see her touch his hand in a flirting way, and this immediately made me lose my appetite. I loudly slid back from the table grabbing my plate and standing up.
“Done already” Chris asks looking at everyone else still shoving food down their throat
“Uhh yeah I uh just got really full” I said looking down at my plate that had four wings and a few fries eaten. He looks at me a little confused and just nods his head
I decided to clean up my plate and drink some water in the kitchen watching them as they engaged in conversation.
“OH MY GOD GUYS!” Nick yells loudly
“It’s a cabin tradition! We have to play never have I ever” he said giggling like a schoolgirl.
“Nick…what are we 10” Matt says shaking his head
“Nah this will be fun” Chris said laughing as he wiped his fingers
After everyone finished dinner and cleaned up we all showered and changed and went back to the living room. Madi had Matt help her start up a fire in the fireplace again after the first one went out. While Chris was grabbing a Pepsi before heading over to the couch. Nick was already sitting on the couch waiting for the fire to start. I was the last to join because I could care less about playing never have I ever. I wasn’t too fond of playing a game that ended in people being embarrassed and exposed.
I grabbed a water bottle and headed over to the couch to sit next to Nick.
“The queen joined us” Nick said hugging me
“Oh I couldn’t miss playing this middle school game” I said giving him a sarcastic grin
“Hey! This’ll be fun” Madi said, smiling at me, and I smiled back. I could never be mean to her. She was my closest friend, but man when she was all over Matt I never wanted to look at her again.
I just smiled at her, a weak smile that I hoped she picked up on, but knowing her she didn’t
“Alright bitches who’s going first?” Madi asked
“I say Nick goes since this was his idea” I stated looking over at Nick giggling slightly.
To this he just rolled his eyes and mumbled a ‘fine’
“Alright, never have I ever shit my pants” he said laughing and we all just rolled our eyes. All of us putting a finger down.
“Never have I ever stood someone up” Chris asked, every finger went down but mine.
“Y’all are cruel” I said shaking my head, and to this they laughed shouting out little excuses
“Ouuu never have I ever farted in a public place’’ Matt said laughing, once again all our fingers went down as we died in laughter… “ouuu stinky” Chris said in a funny voice.
Two rounds later I saw Madi’s body shift, and I knew this shift meant intense questions were coming.
“Let’s spice it up. Never have I ever made out with an influencer of some sort at a party” Hers and Nicks finger went down
“Never have I ever got caught during ‘me time’ Chris asked. My finger was the only one to go down. My eyes bulged out in embarrassment.
“Explain” Madi said laughing at me
“Well I was about 17, and I thought I was alone in my house, but uh turns out my grandma heard some things” I said covering my face in embarrassment as everyone laughed.
“Never have I ever kissed someone” Matt said, and once again my finger was the only one that didn’t go down.
“Never have I ever messed around in your parents house” Nick asked, and not a shocker my finger was still up.
“Never have I ever given head” Madi asked. Are we shocked that my fingers are still up??
“Never have I ever gotten head” Chris asks, wiggling his eyebrows. To no surprise the finger is still up.
“Never have I ever given a hickey, '' Madi asks, and now I’m starting to think she's picking up on my lack of experience because her eyes are starting to twinkle with an idea.
“Never have I ever had sex” I keep my fingers up with a long sigh and an annoyed expression
“Never have I ever hooked up in a car” Now I’m just staring at the floor wanting to die.
“Never have I ever not done a single sexual thing” Madi asks laughing
“Alright now you're just being mean” I finally snapped looking at her with a hard glare
“WHAT?? I’m just messing around with you” she said still laughing
“Yeah embarrassing me is so funny” I said giving her a sarcastic smile
“I didn’t embarrass you…technically you did that yourself” she said looking down. I just scoffed and got up
“Goodnight! Glad I could be the center of the ring for you guys” I said grabbing my phone and my water and turning around
“Wait don’t go” Matt said sounding bad for me, I just shook my head and kept walking upstairs to my bedroom
3AM
It was now 3am, and everyone had called it a night by 10 because of how exhausted they were from the drive here.
However I was wide awake replaying the embarrassing event that occurred a few hours prior. I was so annoyed that Madi would say such a thing. She was supposed to be my best friend, and those weren’t the vibes I was getting. I decided to head downstairs to sit in the living room, and clear my mind.
I headed downstairs, and started a small fire in the fireplace, so I didn’t have to keep the lights on, and potentially wake one of them up; because I really wanted to be alone right now. I sat in front of the fireplace with a blanket wrapped around me. Just staring into the flames, and letting my thoughts run clearly. I felt a tear slip down my face as I felt all the embarrassment and shame wash over me.
Just sitting asking myself why. Why in the world would she ask those questions knowing my answer. I felt betrayed and like a fool. I shouldn’t be embarrassed of my lack of experience. I'm only 21. This is very normal, but I just hated how I felt, and I wanted to crawl into a dark hole and disappear. After wiping my tears and collecting myself I just stared into the fire letting the flames reflect off my brown eyes
Suddenly I heard a door creak open from upstairs, and feet shuffling. I was really hoping one of them were just going to the bathroom, so I can bask in my self hatred a little more. Unfortunately I heard the stairs creak loudly under the pressure of someone’s feet, but I refused to look over my shoulder.
I felt a presence next to me, and suddenly they sat down next to me, and only then did I finally look over, and to my surprise it was Matt looking into the fire. I watched the reflection of the flames make his icy blue eyes twinkle. When he decided to speak up “I don’t think you deserved that” was all he said still looking at the fire
“Thanks, but I’m used to being the embarrassed one” I said quietly
“Doesn’t matter. It was fucked up, and uncalled for. Plus she’s your best friend. I have no clue why she'd say such a thing. I’m not too sure what’s gotten into her lately” Matt said, looking over at me. This made me turn to look at him, giving him a small smile
“She likes you” was all I could say as I searched his eyes for an answer, or a glimpse of hope that they’d scream “i don’t like her” back at me
“Likes me?” He said with a confused look
“Yes Matt…you are so blind Madi is head over heels in love with you” I said in a nonchalant way
“She’s like my sister….I have never expressed any other feelings other than a family type of relationship with her” he said rubbing his eye
“Yeah well she might not have gotten that. Don’t you see the flirty looks, the flirty touches, the comments trying to embarrass me infront of you” I said looking him dead in the eyes
“Is this why you leave my side when she comes around?” He asked staring back into my eyes
“Well yes. I don’t want to be the punching bag, and I can’t stand watching her trying to get with you” I said slightly looking away from his gaze
“I would never get with her” he said almost laughing a little bit
“Why not? She’s gorgeous, long hair, beautiful face, thin, sweet, funny and nice” I said turning back to look at the fire
“This is crazy” he said still looking at you
“Is that all you took away from what the fuck I just said” Still not looking at him
“It’s crazy that even though she embarrassed you and always does you still have nothing but nice things to say about her” Matt said, waiting to see if I’d look at him
“Jesus Matt!” I said a little more loudly finally turning to look at him
“I’m sitting basically professing my love to you in such a vulnerable way, and all you can do is mention her” I said shaking my head
“Mentioning her? In case you haven’t noticed I’m mentioning you….haven't you seen all along?? The looks? The touches? Always running to you for opinions? Always looking for you? Always wanting to be near you? And all you did was run away from me every single time” he said looking hurt
“Didn’t you notice the captions on my instagram posts?? They would be finishing every sentence you would say. You pay attention to the little things, so I thought you’d catch on” He said shaking his head
Everytime Y/N would post on Instagram it was always a song lyric.
Y/N caption: she thinks it’s special
Matt’s caption: but it’s all reused
Y/N caption:Think I’ll miss you forever
Matt’s caption:Like the stars miss the sun
Y/N caption:I’m trying to be brave
Matt’s caption:Stop asking me to stay
And Y/N’s latest post even had some fans questioning what was really going on being her and the young boy.
Y/N caption:Just put your hand on the glass
Matt’s Caption:I’ll be there to pull you through
Their posts had been matching up for some time now, but neither of them would say a thing.
I just stared at Matt dumbly because I genuinely had not paid any attention to our captions. I couldn’t allow little small things to alter my brain, and make me think we had a chance
“Y/N you’re my everything. You have always been since the moment we shared a Twix after Chris stole mine. I saw how giving you were, and how you cared to everyone, and that made me fall head over heels in love with you” He said searching my eyes for an answer
“Matt you have been my everything since the moment you complimented my hair and makeup after Madi told me it was too much. Right in that moment it gave me so much hope you saw me differently” I told him looking back into his eyes
Without a warning he just pulled me in for a kiss. I have never kissed anyone before so I was shocked, but when I finally got the hang out I could feel butterflies all in my stomach, and the weight of 1,000 pounds being lifted off my chest.
“I have wanted to do that for so long” he said after pulling away, and all i could do was stay there starstruck and as red as a tomato
I just pulled him back in for a kiss, and this time it got more heated. I had wrapped us in the blanket when I started to lean back onto the floor as he started to hover over me.
“Wait I don’t want you to think I’m just doing this to do this” He said pulling away from the kiss
“I would never think that, and if I wanted to stop I would’ve” I told him shyly. He continues to kiss me slowly going down to my cheek, then my jawline, and then down to my neck. Peppering light kisses to my neck on both sides. This made me let out a few sighs as I ran my fingers through his hair.
“Matt, can you take my virginity?” I asked him bluntly. He pulled back and looked into my eyes once again searching for any sign of discomfort
“Are you sure?” He asked me looking down to my lips
“Yes Matt. This is all I’ve ever wanted” I told him shamelessly. He nodded and began to kiss my neck again. He decided to take her shirt off, and continued to make out with me while I got more comfortable.
“Matt, I want to take off my shirt,” I said, pushing him back a little bit. He nodded and let me remove my shirt. I was completely bare in front of him. This made me a little shy, and he took notice
“God Y/N you’re so gorgeous” he said as he went down kissing both boobs, and slowly taking one nipple into his mouth while he kneaded the other one. I let out a silent moan and ran my hands through his hair. This action alone was making me so aroused, and I was starting to ache with an undeniable want for Matt
“I have to stretch you out a bit before I can have sex with you” he said after pulling away from my breast, and running a hand down from the valley of my beast to my lower abdomen.
“Do whatever you want to me Matt” I said looking at him
“This might hurt, and you have to promise to be quiet. We don’t want to wake them up” he said, kissing my lips. I nodded and bit my lip
He slowly removed my pants, and then along my underwear followed.
“You’re so fucking gorgeous with the fireplace reflecting off your skin” he said feeling up on my body as he stared at me
“Matt please touch me I want you so bad” I said to him, and to this he nodded
He started to kiss my neck and the valley of my breast as he started to travel his hand down to my pussy. Collecting my arousal and spreading it around some more
“God you’re so wet” he said as he continued to rub, and all I could do was moan and whimper lowly for him
He pulled his fingers away and spat on them to lubricate them some more. He placed them back on my vagina and continued to rub my clit as my legs spread wider for him
Slowly he pushed his middle finger in. As it kept going in I felt the burn from the stretch of his finger. I had fingered myself before but this was a different stretch. Matt’s fingers were thicker and longer
My eyebrows furrowed in pain and pleasure as he got his finger all the way in. Slowly he started to go in and out pushing up against my G spot in a come here motion
“Fuck Matt” I whimpered lowly
“I know baby” he said, kissing my lips as he slid the second finger in. This one I felt the pain the most. I gasped loudly and bit down on my hand
“I’m sorry. It will go away pretty girl” he said pushing both fingers in again.
Matt was taking his time fingering me and stretching me for him. I told him I wanted to cum on his dick, so to not take the fingering too far
“You think you’re ready for all of me” he asked as he pulled his fingers out
“Yes Matt” i told him running my hands down from his chest to his bulge and giving it a light squeeze
Matt had removed his pajama bottoms and his underwear. He pumped his cock a few times, and then lightly spat on it to lubricate it some more. This made Y/N even more wet just watching this beauty of a man touch himself infront of her
“Okay baby this will hurt, but it will go away, and if it’s too much I’ll stop okay” Matt asked rubbing her cheek with his hand
“Okay Matt. I trust you I’m ready” she said as she held onto both his arms as he leaned over her.
He brought one hand down to guide his dick to her entrance. Slowly he pushed his tip in. Y/N let out a small cry in pain as this was a new stretch for her
“Fuck Matt this hurts” she said opening her eyes to look him in the eyes
“Do you want me to stop” he asked her, looking back at her. She shook her head no, and he slowly kept pushing himself into her while kissing her so he could silence her winces
At this point Matt was all the way in and was getting adjusted to Y/N. She nodded at him to let her know he could move
So Matt started slowly moving in and out of the girl. Allowing her to feel all of him as his dick hit her G spot
“Fuck Matt” she whined as he hit her g spot once more
“Shhh baby i know” he said breathing heavily
Matt was continuing his slow and steady strokes. He moved a little faster, but mostly he was focusing on slow deep thrusts to allow Y/N to feel the most pleasure. At this point Matt was sweating and breathing heavily. He really wanted to be a moaning whimpering mess for her, but he couldn’t risk waking anybody up. He snakes his hand down to her clit to allow her more pleasure so she could cum.
Y/N let out a loud moan and Matt quickly put his hand over her mouth to silence her, and to this she moaned again letting her eyes roll to the back of her head as he kept pounding into her and rubbing her clit
After 10 more minutes of deep strong thrusts Matt started to feel her clench around him, so he knew she was close.
“Matt I’m going to cum” she said looking up at him all fucked out. Hair sticking to her forehead and her body glistening with sweat
“I know baby. I know” Matt said rubbing her clit faster and thrusting deeper and harder
“Fuck Matt fuck fuck fuck” she said as she clenched down harder, and with this she came all over his cock. Her brows were furrowed together and her mouth was hung open as she let out silent screams. Her body was shaking and trembling, her thighs were shaking as she saw white flashes of ecstasy. She slowly came down from her high with heavy breathing and Matt pulled out. Stroking his own cock over her
“Can I?” He asked her as he was stroking harder
“Please Matt cum for me” she said to him, and that was all it took for his brows to furrow and his mouth to fall slack as his lower abdomen contracted, and he was painting her stomach with white hot strings of cum.
As he came down from his high his breathing was deep and shallow. He grabbed his shirt and wiped her stomach clean. Falling down to the left of her and allowing the blanket to cover them.
“God Y/N you’re so gorgeous I’m in love with you” Matt said as he looked down at her. Propped up on one arm as he looks into her eyes wiping the hair off her forehead
“Matt this was all I could ever ask for. I love you so much” she said weakly looking at him
“I love you too” he said, giving her a kiss on the lips.
She turned into his chest, and they eventually fell asleep together
8AM
Around 8AM Nick and Chris came downstairs and walked to the living room to see a sizzling out fireplace, and a naked Y/N and Matt sleeping together wrapped in a blanket. They both looked at one another wide eyed
“MATT WAKE UP” Chris said kicking Matt’s foot, and to this he jumped up to, also waking up Y/N
“OH SHIT” Y/N said covering herself with the blanket
“What the fuck happened here” Chris said
“Uhhh” Matt said looking over at me
“YALL WAS FUCKIN” Nick said trying to contain his excitement
“I fucking knew y’all liked each other” Chris said kind of jumping like a kid
“Although this is so cute and yall are so cute together. Please get up and put some clothes on” Nick said laughing
Chris went to grab Matt’s shirt when Matt interrupted him
“DONT touch that shirt” Matt kind of yelled
“Why not?” Chris asked scared and concerned
“It has my cum all over it” Matt said bluntly
“MATT!” Y/N said smacking him on the arm
“DUDE WTF” Chris said running away
“That’s actually disgusting” Nick said giggling like a little kid and kicking the shirt away
Matt and Y/N got up to get cleaned up and ready for the day, and finish the rest of their weekend get away.
The End
I think my next ones going to be a Nick with a female reader but it’s going to be a friendship imagine🥰🥹

A/n: hey guys, hope you enjoy this shit lmao, I truly have absolutely no idea where I’m going with this.
(This is not beta’d we die like men.)
Part 3 : Icarus Falling Far
Masterlist
————
Bucky’s thoughts in italics
Readers thoughts in bold
————
Fuck.
Fuucckk.
“It’s you.” Bucky states, his voice steady, hiding the confusion running through his head.
“It’s us,” Frank responds, “gotta be honest, we’ve had a lot of fun fucking up your shit.”
Frank stood with a smug smirk on his face, while the man with the buzz cut, and with scars covering his face, the light outside casting a grim portrait, stands with a big grin - both completely unaffected by the gun being pointed at them.
“Does she know?” Bucky asks, years of being screwed by people he trusted rearing back and kicking his trust issues into his gear.
Please say no, please tell me she’s not a part of this.
No. Not her.
“Y/n? Bet it break your cold heart if we said yes, huh?” Billy quips, with that stupid grin now a permanent fixture on his face. “That sweet pretty girl you though actually liked you, was actually just getting us this in, see we have proposition for- ”
“DOES SHE KNOW?” Bucky lets his voice rise, tired of the games the other men were playing.
“No, and we are gonna keep it that way you hear me, don’t drag that kind girl into this cruel world.” Curtis states, stepping forward as if to cut Billy off from responding.
Shit, I can’t let you look down and see me waving a gun in your friends faces.
“She doesn’t need to know. She’s not made for this world, not like us. So how about you put the gun away before she starts looking out that window.” Frank says, eyes flicking to your window to make sure you’re not witnessing this tense conversation.
Bucky slowly lowers the gun into his pocket, but keeps his hand tight on the weapon, just as a precaution.
Please be true, to whatever bastard higher power up there, please be true.
“Not like us?” Bucky says, parroting the other man’s words, “in what world are we the same?”
“Well I mean you and Curtis probably share the most similar physicality,” Billy states, chuckling a little at his own joke.
Bucky’s eyes flit to the quiet man on the left, recalling his earlier thoughts.
“What Bill means to say is that I know what’s it’s like to loose a limb in combat-”
“I didn’t loose my arm in combat.” His voice was deep and unwavering, even while the horrid memories came to the front of his mind, “you have no idea what I went through.”
“We know some. Rumors fly in the military.” Franks states, “we were all Marines together, and after Curtis lost his leg, I became a Navy Seal and Bill here became a Scout Sniper for the Marine Corps Reconnaissance. We’ve had our fair share of being screwed over by those in authority.”
“Am I supposed to give a shit? All that crap is behind me, what I care about is my business now, the same business that you three have been fucking up for the past week. So what the fuck do you want and what the fuck does Y/n have to do with it?” Bucky growls out, his patience slipping.
“We mean no harm, not to you, and especially not to Y/n-”
“I’m supposed to believe that, you used her to get to me right? If you cared about her you wouldn’t have done that-” Bucky begins before he gets cut off.
“Don’t you dare say that we don’t care about her!” Billy almost shouts stepping forward before stopping when Bucky brings the gun out of his pocket and lets it rest by his side.
“Y/n is one of the few things in this world we care about, she’s family okay, and we would never hurt her-” Curtis says
“Really, then how would you say she’s gonna feel if I go back to her apartment and tell her all about this, huh?” Bucky calls back
“You’re not gonna do that though, are ya? Because you know if you did, it’d break her heart, and you don’t wanna do that do ya Buck? Not when ya like her so much?” The words come from Billy, the annoying grin back in his face.
“What make you think I care that much?” Bucky says, even though his thoughts state the opposite.
I do. I do care.
“If you didn’t you would have shot us already.” Frank responds with a very valid point.
That makes Bucky clench his jaw and tense his gun wielding hand.
“All we want is a business meeting okay, talk about a potential partnership.” Frank stars crossing his arms, staring unklinking at Bucky.
“A partnership? It’s gonna take more than you fucking up a few things for me to even think about considering that. And what the hell would I get out of a partnership with you three?” Brucky responds, seriously considering just shooting the three men dead on the street.
“Well that’s something we can talk about later, but just so you know we have our hands in some business ourselves and more than enough bodies to keep our shit going, but we’d all be a hell of a lot richer if we worked together” Curtis states, shifting his weight onto his good leg.
“Plus just think about how happy our girl will be if we all got on.” Billy chimes in with a quick wink.
Our girl. OUR girl? God I wanna shoot these assholes.
Bucky keeps his calm facade up, unwilling to show the man that his words affected him.
“Fine. Be at the Comandos bar at 8 pm tomorrow, just you three, no weapons.” Bucky responds, wanting this conversation to be over.
The three men share quick look’s between themselves, and then Frank steps forward with his hand out towards Bucky and says “We’ll be there.”
Bucky doesn’t even look at them before turning quickly and walking back into the building, pulling out his phone to call Steve.
Frank chuckles, puts his hand down and turns to get in the car.
“Think he’ll tell her?” Curtis asks.
“Nah. He likes her too much.” Billy replies, while opening the door and getting in.
—————
What the hell is taking him so long? God I hope the boys didn’t catch him and give the whole ‘if you hurt her we’ll kill you’ talk. The boys are scary but Bucky’s a damn mobster.
The heavy knock on the door stops your pacing, and cause you to run to the door and pull it open to see the aforementioned mobster.
He doesn’t even say anything before barging in, kicking the door closed behind him while his hands go straight to the sides of your face, pulling your lips to his. His grip is gentle, but his mouth is bruising, his teeth nipping your bottom lip.
You pull back to catch your breath, leaning your forehead on his and catching your breath.
“Not even a hello? You missed me that much?” You flirt quietly, whispering into his mouth, hand clutching his waist through his coat.
“More than you know darlin’ I needed to see you…and touch you,” Bucky responds, silently thinking I needed to make sure you were okay.
Oh please do.
“All I’m hearing is the big bad mobster saying he needs me” you tease, praying he didn’t take offence, yeah he’s sweet and lovely but I’ve only gotten a tiny glimpse at the other side of him.
“Is that how you see me?” He leans back to his full height, staring down into your eyes, dropping his hands to his sides.
Shit.
Bucky grips your wrists and takes your hands off his body, moving them into his metal hand, the surface cold on your skin. You scramble to respond, wanting to tell him you thought the opposite, but his flesh hand moves to his pocket before you can talk.
“Big bad mobster huh? Oh doll you have no idea,” he says with an indiscernible look on his face, pulling out his glock.
Oh fuck, I was only teasing.
“Wait Buck-“ you start before he cuts you off.
“Y/n…Are you scared of me?” He asks, his grip on your wrists loose enough that you could get out of his grip if you wanted to.
You didn’t move. Looking into his eyes, an overwhelming feeling of calm takes over, the blue of his eyes the same as the sky after a storm.
“…no. I’m not.” I probably should be but apparently I’m crazy.
“Do you think I’m bad?” He asks.
All the stories, all the rumours, the memory of your first meeting, and the call he took in the shop come flooding to the forefront of your mind. That he’s a man with no mercy, cares for nothing and no one - except money, sex, and violence.
“…not to me.” You answer.
He pulls his arm up, holding the glock in between your faces, showing it to you. The bottom of his tattoo- your tattoo- sticks out from under his sleeve.
A normal person without a broken brain would take this as a threat. Why am I attracted to this?
He makes eye contact with you over the barrel, turning his hand and resting the muzzle on your cheek, but there is no fear in you, you can see his trigger finger resting on the side of the barrel.
“Do you trust me Y/N?” Bucky asks, his eyes not moving from yours.
You take a second to think about it.
The man is a fucking mobster for Christs’ sake. He’s a criminal, a gun runner, a drug trafficker, and not to mention a killer. His kills have hit the news before, no evidence proving it was his organisation, but everyone knows. It doesn’t matter if it was Bucky that pulled the trigger, held the knife, planted the bomb, nothing happened that wasn’t on his order. Can I really trust a man like that?
Your hesitation to answer has an effect on Bucky. He moves the gun, dragging it down your neck and resting the muzzle in the dip of your collar bone. You look down at his hand, finger still nowhere near he trigger.
“Y/n.” He calls quietly. Your eyes jump back to his and he speaks again, “do you think I would ever hurt you?”
That question has an answer you don’t have to think about.
“Not unless I did something to deserve it.” Your attempt at humour was immediately seen to be the wrong answer.
He sticks the gun back in your face, muzzle pushing between you lips, scratching your teeth. The movement causes your eyes to go wide, fear slipping onto your face.
“Did you do something to deserve it? Have you fucked me over Y/n?” His voice is tense, deadly serious, an unstable look in his eyes, his metal hand tightening on your wrists.
You lean back a little to answer, “…no, no of course not Buck. What’s going on? You’re freaking me out.”
He stares at you for what feels like hours, his face perfectly still, not giving anything away.
She doesn’t know. She truly has no idea. Thank fuck.
He drops the gun and lets go of your wrists, taking a few steps back, giving you space.
“I’m sorry doll, I’ve just had very hard day, some new information was given to me and it’s fucked me up a bit. I’m sorry Y/n, truly I am, I didn’t mean to freak you out.” His hands run through his hair, pulling at it harshly. “Shit darlin’, what the hell was I doing?” He mumbles the last bit to himself.
“Buck..Bucky, hey calm down, it’s okay-” you start before he talks again.
“It’s not okay! I just put a fucking gun in your face.” He keeps rambling, seeming like a whole other person than he was a minute ago.
“Buck! Stop, stop jabbering,” you grab his wrists, taking his hands from his hair and pulling him towards you.
He stops talking, and stares at your hands in his, the metal of his prosthetic shining a stark contrast against your skin.
You take a second to look at him, eyes studying his face. He looks worried, and a little scared.
Huh, didn’t know a mobster could get scared. Is he’s scared of me and what I’m gonna say… or is he scared of himself?
“You don’t scare me Buck…you probably should, but you don’t. ‘Cos you’ve been nothing but good to me, even a minute ago when you were acting weird, I knew you weren’t gonna do anything-”
“How? How did you trust me to not hurt you, when I was waving my glock in your face?”
“You had your finger on the barrel”
He’s silent for a few seconds, thinking over what you said. He takes a deep breath, meeting your eyes.
“I don’t know what to say,” Bucky responds.
“Then don’t say anything.” You say, the imagine of him with a gun in his hand fresh in your mind.
That whole episode should not have been as hot as it was. Shit I’m fucked up.
Bucky stares at you (he does that a-lot), unsure of his next move.
“Kiss me, dumbass.”
He moves before you can blink, his hands gently grabbing your face and pulling you to him. His kiss takes your breath away, gentle but firm. Your hands grip his elbows, encouraging him to keep going.
He takes the hint (thank fuck) and splits your lips with his tongue, his nose pressed hard against your cheek. He moves his hands down to your hips, gripping hard. Your hands grip the back of his head, fingers playing with his hair, tugging at it slightly when he completely deepens the kiss, your tongues tangling together. He lets out a quiet groan at the feeling, taking his left hand off your hip and tensing it by his side. You break the kiss when you feel the loss of his touch.
You take a second to catch your breath, Bucky leaning his head against yours.
“Why did you take your hand off me?” You ask.
“What?” He responds, the small dazed look on his face making you chuckle a little.
“Your hand, I liked it where it was.”
“Oh..that. It’s uh..it’s pretty strong, I can’t tell how hard I’m holding something, I can’t feel it so I tend to hold things a bit too hard… I broke like 5 cups in the past week-” he answers, stuttering his way through the sentence.
“Stop talking Buck, and you say I ramble,” You say, putting your finger to his lips. He stops talking, and you continue, “I trust you Buck, I’ll tell you if you’re holding me too hard. Plus I like it a little rough.” You finish with a wink at him, pulling his hand back to your waist.
He drops his head back, eyes closed and takes a deep breath in. He mumbles under his breath something that sounds like ‘god you’re perfect’, then he crashes his lips back into yours, both hands tightening on your hips.
He moves faster now, more intense with his kiss, his teeth scraping yours slightly and he presses you backwards, walking with you until you bump into the wall, his flesh hand stopping your head from hitting it.
Aww how sweet. The thought is thrown from your head when Bucky drops his head and presses kisses to your jaw, his hand curling in your hair to pull your head back, exposing your neck to him.
“Oh shit,” you whisper, as he licks a long stripe up your neck, nipping at the pulse points he finds. Your hands drop to his hips and pull him flush to you, groaning when you feel how much you’ve affected him. He kisses his way back to your lips, his metal hand moving to rest on the side of your neck, thumb resting in the front of your neck. Bucky gives you a long hard kiss then pulls back breathing hard.
“God girl, you are gonna be the death of me,” he whispers, lips brushing against yours as he talks.
“Fuck I hope not,” you respond, pulling his hips tighter against yours making him choke back a groan at the feeling.
His phone starts to ring.
Fuck off.
You pull him to you again, lips trailing across his jaw.
“Shit doll, wait a second baby-” he starts before you cut him off.
“Wait? Wait for what Buck, you don’t want me?” You tease, brushing your nose along his.
He crashes his lips against yours, his ringtone fading as his kiss overtakes your mind. Bucky pulls back after a few seconds, growling softly before stepping back to pull his phone out of his pocket.
“Are you seriously gonna answer that?” You ask, incredulous to his action.
“I have to darlin, could be an emergency,” he answers, taping the screen to answer. He puts the phone to his ear and says, “talk to me.”
You ignore his conversation, grabbing his metal hand to inspect it. The plates shift as you turn it over to look at the palm.
What an incredible feat of engineering, I wonder how it works. And how it feels-
Your dirty thoughts are cut short as he pulls his hand out of your grip, turning and taking a few steps away from you. His voice is quiet, probably to keep you from hearing whatever illegal shit they were discussing.
You jump when he shouts.
“THE FUCK? Rogers you get them to find more information on those shitheads, or I swear to fuck I will rip their fucking hearts out. I don’t care anymore, this shit needs to stop right the fuck now!” He stops his tirade and listens to ‘Rogers’ on the other side for a few second before he starts up again, “I know that asshole…one of the fuckers is married, find the wife… I have no idea if she’s involved man, I doubt it but she’d be good leverage… and get me some more information on their business so I’m not going into this shit show unprepared.”
That gets your full attention. Find the wife? Leverage? And do what? Threaten her? Hurt her? …kill her?
A shiver rips its way down your spine at that thought.
Would he do that? If she’s not a part of the issue, would he still hurt her? He already proved he’d hurt anyone that fucked him over, proved that when he stuck his gun in my mouth.
“Yeah…I know, get Stark on it, send Talia and Barton out too, see if they can get any news on the street… tell Barton to keep his cool, I don’t need anymore shit right now” Bucky says, switching the phone to his metal hand, using his flesh one to pull at his hair again.
His back is still turned to you, his coat stretches over his shoulder, the back rising with his hand in his hair.
He has a gun in his waistband.
Your eyes flit to the glock he drop on the floor earlier, and back to the one tucked in his waistband.
Is two guns really necessary?
Your answer comes with his next sentence.
“Fuck Steve I know that…you think I got this far without any personal protection? I’m good if anything happens man but I don’t think it will, they seemed pretty insistent on the fact they meant no harm..”
He continues to talk for a minute until he ends the call with a quick “get it done Steve, or we’re all fucked.” He places the phone back in his pocket, takes a few deep breaths and turns back to you with a tense look on his face. He takes another deep breath and steps towards you. Without meaning to you take a step back, hitting the wall behind you. Bucky stops as soon as he sees your movement.
“Sorry about that sweetheart, didn’t mean to upset ya.” He says, his voice quiet and calm, as if he was talking to a injured dog.
You let the silence linger for a second, deciding whether or not to ask the question that was begging to be said.
Fuck it.
“What are you going to do to her?”
He tilts his head at the question, unsure of what you’re talking about.
You take pity on his confusion.
“The wife? What are you going to do when you find her?”
Something settles in his eyes, his mouth twisting into a grim line.
“Nothing…unless I have to.” Bucky responds.
His answer does nothing to calm your pounding heart.
“You mean you won’t do anything unless you find out she’s involved?”
“Yes.”
“So you won’t do anything if she’s not a part of …whatever it is?” You ask.
“That’s right.” He nods with his answer.
“Except use her as leverage?”
He’s silent for a moment, and sighs as he rolls his left shoulder. He doesn’t break eye contact, and he’s completely resigned to whatever his answer is about to be.
“If I have to.” There is no lie in his voice, no guilt or remorse in his eyes.
Holy fuck. There’s the soldier again, the man with no mercy, does whatever he needs to come out on top.
You take a deep breath, trying to calm yourself.
He wouldn’t hurt me. Would he?
He answers like he heard your thought.
“It’s business doll, we do what we have to do. Sometimes it’s rough and bad and awful and yes, people get hurt. Sometimes even innocent people get hurt. But I will never apologise for being the one that does the hurting, me and mine have had our fair share of getting hurt, and I’d rather hurt and use some people I don’t care about, than watch my people, my family, get hurt. I will not allow that to happen, not when I can to something about it.” He stands straight, like a soldier. The conviction in his voice actually makes you feel calmer.
Assuming I’m someone he cares about, I should be fine, right?
It slips off your tongue before you can catch it.
“Do you care about me?” You shift your weight as you talk, unsure if you actually want to hear the answer.
“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.” He states, his tone steady.
“Say it properly,” you demand, crossing your arms over your chest, a subconscious way of protecting yourself, “I need you to say it properly Bucky.”
He shifts his weight now, seemingly uncomfortable.
“Yes… I do care about you,” he answers, clearing his throat in the middle of his statement, “do you care about me?”
You were unprepared for him to flip it back on you.
“I need you to answer truthfully Y/n. Do you care about me, as I am? The ‘big bad mobster’” he says, taking a step closer to you, and taking another when you don’t move away from him.
“The man who broke into your flat to threaten your roommate who owes me? The one who was going to shoot your friends dead on the street? The one who stuck a gun in your face? I’m a killer Y/n, a fucking mobster, and I’m not changing any time soon. Do you care about me as I am?” He asks, reminding you of the shit he’s done since you met him, not even counting the things you haven’t heard about.
You take a second to consider his questions.
I think I do, how fucked am I that I do?
You finally clock what he said.
“You were going to shoot who dead on the street?!”

Friends in unexpected places
Tumblr media
Warning: angst, cuss words
Word count : 2704
Summary: getting cast aside by everyone due to Colby’s new girlfriend but Sam being the only one to have your back.
Pairing : Colby Brock x female reader
Everyone knew that you and Sam never saw eye to eye, the only reason you guys tolerated each other was Colby. Sam had a longer friendship with Colby but you had his back through everything, always siding with him even if he was wrong. Everyone also knew you had fallen in love with Colby over time, and Sam took any opportunity to hold it over your head as blackmail whenever you were winning in arguments.
The only time Sam felt some kind of softness towards you was when Colby brought home his new girlfriend, he saw through the fake enthusiasm you had. His eyes softened knowing you truly did love Colby and like the good friend you were you backed all his decisions even if it hurt you. He watched as you forced yourself to hug her and welcome her into your lives knowing she had what you most wanted, Colby's love.
After a while of them dating Sam thought something was off about Colby’s girlfriend and his suspicions were confirmed when he overheard her talking about how she would break up with him if his views continued to fall. It made Sam so angry when he found out causing him to go up to your room and break the news making you equally as upset if not more. What infuriated him even more when she started pulling him away from you after you told Colby of your discoveries. He was so sure Colby would listen to you of all people knowing the feelings he harbored for you before he got in a relationship.
Unfortunately everyone else was also blind to her true intentions taking her as a sweet girl and taking you as the jealous girl with a crush. Embarrassed by the accusations you stopped hanging out as much opting to stay in your room or going out with friends outside of the trap house group. Sam was annoyed that everyone had shut you out so quick and welcomed her with open arms.
It worried him when you started looking into moving out knowing it would definitely alter your relationship with Colby even worse it would end it and he worried colby would lose someone so true for someone that was using him. Pretty soon Colby's girlfriend started showing her true colors, she wouldn't let him hang out as much anymore and only let him collab as long as she was included, she made comments that were out of hand. Everyone started feeling guilty about pushing you away for her knowing you only ever had Colby's best interest at heart.
Sam took it upon himself to host a get together and making sure you'd coming being the only one along with kat that still spoke to you. It was insufferable at first with the amount of tension that lingered in the air but pretty soon everyone was acting like nothing had changed. You hung around your old friends laughing and cracking jokes not wanting any bad blood between yourself and the people you considered family.
That was until Colby and his girlfriend showed up making the atmosphere change and everyone tense up, Colby's girlfriend was making things uncomfortable by making passive aggressive comments towards you. You couldn't help but furrow your eyebrows in confusion, she was being aggressive towards you but you hadn't even done anything. No body said anything knowing she had colby wrapped around her finger so they watched as you took it.
For the first time that night she left Colby's side to go use the bathroom so you took it as a chance to go say hello. Walking up to him you tried to suppress the butterflies that fluttered in your stomach, patting him on the shoulder as he turned to look at you. Everyone watched trying to see how the interaction would go between the estranged friends, it brought a smile to everyone's face especially Sam when you guys fell into a conversation so easily, almost like nothing had changed. They watched the familiar smiles that you guys sported when you were together, they watched Colby's eyes get their sparkle back for just a moment.
Colby's girlfriend had come back and she was furious that he was talking to you, he wasn't supposed to be around you especially since you tried to feed him negative things about her. She was walked over angrily giving you a fake smile before pulling him away to the corner of the room.
You walked over to Sam and kat who were giving you sympathetic looks but you just smiled weakly at them accepting a drink from Sam. Everyone tried to ignore the arguing couple but it was hard to when their argument just got louder and louder. Corey and Jake slowly made their way over to you guys watching as your body tensed up with every insult she threw at Colby, they were hoping you wouldn't snap because they how bad you got when it came to backing Colby up. They watched as you took deep breathes each time your left eye twitched in anger. Jakes eyes glancing down to your clenched jaw knowing that tell meant you were about to become unhinged. Finally you snapped turning around as she degraded him. Corey went to grab you only to be pulled back by sam. "Let her, she's got it." Sam reassure their friends having faith in you . " You trust her ?" Corey asked, shocked that Sam of all people was backing you up . " no, but I trust her anger." Sam told them watching as you stomped over there knowing you'd be the one to bring Colby back.
" you're fucking useless ! I told you to stop hanging around these people that's why your views are going down !" She scowled him. You stomped over giving her a fake smile and standing in front of colby. " hi, sweetheart idk what you're doing, but I know you're not insulting colby especially not in front of his friends." You told her taking a step forward trying to give Colby space from her. " why do you care ? You're a shitty friend for trying to get him to break up with me just because you like him" she snapped trying to walk around you only for you to side step and block her . " you're a shitty girlfriend who's only using him so how about you do better and actually treat my friend right." You tilted your head narrowing your eyes and trying to ignore the burning feeling feeling that wrapped around your chest.
" are you jealous ?" She laughed at you " is that why you're over here butting into something that doesn't concern you ? You think you can play hero and he'll come back to you? He needs me, without me he's nothing." She smirked pushing you and stepping towards Colby who was watching the interaction stunned that even after everything you were still sticking up for him. He snapped out of it as you lunged for her from behind, he rushed forward knocking her aside and grabbing onto you so you wouldn't pounce onto her. " what the hell Colby?" Ignoring her shriek he focused on keeping a tight grip around your waist as you struggle against him so you wouldn't knock her on her ass.
" he doesn't need you, he was great before you , he doesn't need anyone because he's Colby fucking Brock." You spat at her holding onto Colby's arms as he handed you over to Corey who was now in charge of restraining you. Colby couldn't help the warmth that wrapped around his heart at your praise , making up his mind as he walked over to her and dragged her out of the house.
You slumped down in Corey's hold lip quivering, feeling defeated as you watched Colby walk out of the house with her in toll.
...........
Colby pulled his fuming girlfriend out of the house and walked her to the end of the street. He caught off her ranting " I'm breaking up with you." He watched as she froze up feeling a bit guilty. She glared up at him angry tears in her eyes. " I knew you'd chose her. I knew you loved her." She spat shoving him. " we're just friends but honestly she treats me better than you do." He shoved her off. " we're done I'll swing by to grab my stuff later." Colby told the crying girl making his way back inside. " She wouldn’t be defending you if she didn’t have feelings for you !" She screamed at him making him holt. Did his best friend actually love him ? He was scared he might've missed everything up by being so blind. He shrugged at her going inside the house knowing he had to go look for his friend.
He walked into the living room but you weren't there making him furrow his eyebrows and look at his friends who were all staring at him. " she's upstairs with Kat and Tara." Sam nodded at him knowing he'd be looking for you. He couldn't help but smile as Colby ran up the stairs knowing you'd be ok .
Knocking on your closed door he heard shuffling before Kat opened the door squinting her eyes in anger at his presence. “ I just want to talk” he raised his hands showing he meant no harm. Stepping out of the dim room and closing the door the blue haired girl glared up at him. “ what is it you’re trying to do Colby? You can’t keep hurting her, she cares about you so much and you keep messing up.” She scowled him quietly hoping you wouldn’t hear them through the door.
His blue eyes looked down at the floor in shame. He was trying to comprehend how everything went down the drain, had he of realized you requite his love he would’ve never of gone out with his terrible ex. He tried so hard to find someone to love him because he convinced himself your love was anything but romantic.
“ I just want to apologize, make things better. I know I fucked up and I need to make sure I don’t lose her.” He pleaded hoping shed move out of the way because one way or another he was going to apologize to you, he just didn’t want to have to apologize to her too. They stood in silence while Kat made up her mind, letting out a sigh she went back into the room to retrieve Tara.
You were confused why your friends had left the room until Colby walked in awkwardly shutting the door behind him. You rolled your eyes masking your sadness and hurt with annoyance and anger. You waited for him to say something because you weren’t going to be the one to initiate conversation after he had chosen her once again.
Walking towards you slowly and sitting on the edge of the bed next you he cleared his throat. “Thank you for standing up for me.” He whispered nervously hoping he still had a chance to fix things. “ i always do” you scoffed looking up at the texture of your ceiling. Gulping down the nerves he reached for your hand that rested next to your side intertwining your fingers watching as your body tensed up then relaxed. He was relieved that you didn’t pull away, he swallowed down the bile in his throat at a realization.He knew his missed your touch and your presence but he didn’t realize that was what was missing in his relationship.
Colby didn’t realize how good it would feel to be around you again. Taking a deep breathe to calm his nerves made it worse, he could smell your scent making him lightheaded.
“ I’m sorry, I don’t mean to put you in those situations.” He said watching as you sat up getting off the bed missing the feeling of your hand in his. You looked at him with glossy eyes holding back tears. “ Thats the thing Colby, I never minded, I put myself in those situations because i loved you ! But you never noticed that because you were to busy loving someone else to notice it!” You snapped closing your eyes in frustration at your voice cracking betraying the wall you built up.
He watched with his heart breaking at the damage he caused, he stood up grabbing you by your arm and wrapping his arms around you. He just wanted you close and he hoped he could provide some comfort. “ Thats not true.” He said causing you to look up at him in confusion. “I never loved her, whole time I was comparing her to you. How could I love someone that wasn’t you?”
Your heart was pounding at the confession. You scanned his face for any trace of a lie but you could read him like a book, he was nervous but he wasn’t lying. Letting out a nervous giggle you wrapped your arms around his neck pulling him closer to your body. You were a bunch of idiots, the whole situation could have been avoided had you guys of told each other how you felt.
Colby was stunned at your change in demeanor, he wasn’t expecting you to have a good reaction yet here you were hugging him like your life depended on it. “ do you really mean that ?” You asked wanting to make sure and just to hear him say it again. He nodded putting his forehead against yours and rubbing the smooth skin of your waist under your shirt.
“ I love you” Colby whispered wanting to sooth any doubts you might still have. A big smile took over your face hearing him say that, the one thing you always wanted to hear sounded better than you could’ve imagined. “ I love you too” you said before reaching up to connect your lips for a split second before pulling away.
Letting out a airy laugh you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear bashfully at the way Colby was looking at you. “ we should probably go down before they think you took me out.” He joked his smile never leaving his face. You rolled your eyes pushing him away from you. “Way to kill the mood.” He let out a laugh as you walked out the bedroom with him in toll.
He grabbed a hold of you hand and intertwining your fingers making you blush as you walked down that stairs. Your friends noticed you guys instantly but Sam was the one to notice your in laced fingers, a smug smile on his face. You guys joined them , everyone instantly in a better mood now that things were back to normal.
Sam made his way over to Colby who had an arm wrapped around you as you talked to Jake and Tara. Patting him on the back he caught Colby’s attention to him. “I knew she would fix things.” Sam told his best friend causing Colby to raise his eyebrows in amusement. “you knew? since when do you guys get along. “ Colby asked looking down at you as you switched your attention over to them. “Since i knew she didn’t really want my spot as your best friend.” Sam joked looking at you smugly causing you to roll your eyes at the blonde boy .
Colby looked between you two now confused. “You knew she liked me ?” He asked surprised Sam never said anything about it. Colby wasn’t upset but he was surprised that Sam of all people knew considering you two were the least expected to be friends. “He use to blackmail me with it. But its fine he was just mad he knew he’d never be your number 1.” You shrugged wrapping your arms around his abdomen.
Sam rolled his at you knowing your relationship was back to normal but with more of a friendly twist. He muttered a “yeah ok” before walking away causing you and Colby to laugh.
Making eye contact with Sam you smiled at him in a way of saying thank you. He was the only one who stuck by you and believed in you and Colby. It was unexpected but you were grateful to have him in your corner and you were excited for you newly establish friendship along with your new relationship.

Melian and her Descendants as Native Aotearoa Birds
For day 4 @tolkienofcolourweek
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A detailed image description is at the bottom of this post but I've listed the characters and their matching birds below.
Melian: hūia. A sacred bird, often considered to be one of the most beautiful birds in Aotearoa. Their feathers were traditionally only worn by people of high status.
Hūia were forest songbirds who paired for life and were utterly devoted to their partners. The pairs would fly and hunt together, caressing each other with their bills, singing duets back and forth. Often when a hūia died, its partner would die of grief a few days later (typically due to failing to eat or drink).
There was a sharp decline in the numbers of hūia after the arrival of European settlers in the 1840s. By the early 20th century, they had disappeared from our forests forever.
Lúthien: tūī. The most talented of our songbirds, a stunningly beautiful creature with iridescent blue-black feathers. Their double voicebox allows them to mimic almost any sound, including human speech. They often sing all day long.
Tūī are messengers to the gods. In Māori culture we might compliment a singer by saying that they have korokoro tūī, the throat of a tūī.
Also I'm feral about this quote:
Farmer and ornithologist Herbert Guthrie-Smith, writing in the early 20th century, observed of a female tui singing on the nest (tui are the only bird in the world to sing on the nest): “We were close to her, yet she sang as if her song could have no ending, as if the world was too full of the ecstasy of life for wrong and rapine to exist. The sun was shining above the flowing river, the leaves green, of every shape and shade; her great love had cast out fear.”

Díor: kōtare, aka the sacred kingfisher. (Yes, okay, this is partially a joke about Dior being a sacred king.) Although kōtare are native to Aotearoa, they're also found in other countries. Most Eastern Polynesian cultures, including many Māori iwi, believe that kōtare have power over the ocean and waves.
Kōtare can sit motionless for hours while waiting for their prey, watching with perfect stillness. For this reason, a person who is alertly watching for enemies is sometimes compared to a kōtare.
Elured and Elurin: tara iti, aka fairy terns.
For Māori, terns in general are associated with people of high status. Tara iti are the smallest species of tern in Aotearoa, weighing in at about 70 grams (or 2.5 ounces). They're also our rarest breeding bird. Sadly, there are only about 40 individuals left.
Elwing: kōtuku - I expanded on this in another post
Elrond and Elros: North Island kōkako and South Island kōkako (respectively). Kōkako are blue-grey songbirds who often have a similar call to tūī, although with a slightly less extensive range of sounds. They love to sing duets; in fact, they sing the longest known duets of any bird in the world.
The North Island and South Island kōkakō are closely related but distinct sub-species. Although the North Island kōkako has been the subject of a successful conservation campaign, the South Island kōkako is considered possibly extinct. (The last two reliable sightings were in 2007 and 1967.) However, some people who walk the remote tracks of the South Island swear they've heard it singing.
Elladan and Elrohir: tīeke, aka the North and South Island saddlebacks. The two species are very difficult to tell apart for all but the most trained eyes. They're close relatives of kōkako and hūia.
Tīeke are notoriously fearless. In Māori culture, they're guardians and guides.
Arwen: Chatham Islands tūī. While these birds look extremely alike to mainland tūī, they sing a very different song.
(Since this bird is from the Chatham Islands, the Arwen faceclaim is a Moriori woman. Moriori are the indigenous people of the Chathams.)
Image description below cut due to length.
A series of paired images. Each pair has one bird and one faceclaim. All of the faceclaims, except for Arwen, are Māori.
1: Hūia and Melian. The hūia is a black bird with an orange wattle, long curved beak, and white at the end of its tail feathers. Melian is a dignified woman with light brown skin, brown hair, and a traditional chin tattoo. She wears traditional clothing and a pounamu (greenstone) ornament around her neck.
2: tūī and Luthien. The tūī is in flight. The light has caught its wings and tail feathers, making them look a vivid blue. Luthien is a light-skinned (but distinctly Māori) woman with long dark hair. She wears a black dress and a pounamu necklace.
3: a kōtare and Dior. The kōtare is a blue/black bird with a white neck and underside. It's in flight, carrying something in its mouth. Dior has dark brown skin and facial tattoos that mark him as someone of high rank. He wears a carved bone ornament in his hair, a pounamu necklace, and a traditional feather cloak.
4: tara iti and Elured and Elurin. The tara iti is visible from behind, its white wings spread, either landing or taking off. Elured and Elurin are infants swaddled in blankets side by side.
5: Kōtuku and Elwing. The kōtuku is a gorgeous white bird with a long neck and stilt-like legs. This one standing on a tuft of grass surrounded by water, looking down at its reflection. Elwing is a light-skinned, dark haired pregnant woman wearing a white cloak and cradling her stomach.
6: North Island kōkako (kōkako o Te Ika a Māui) and Elrond. The kōkako is a blue-grey bird with a black beak and blue wattle. The Elromd faceclaim is Alex Aiono (Ngati Porou, Samoa), a man with light brown skin and dark curly hair. In this photo he's shirtless, holding a flower and facing the righthand side of the image.
7: South Island kōkako (kōkako o Te Waipounamu) and Elros. The kōkako looks very similar to the bird above except for its orange wattle. The Elros faceclaim is also Alex Aiono, but in this image he's standing on a beach in front of the sea, smiling.
8: North Island saddleback (tīeke o Te Ika a Māui) and Elladan. The tīeke is a medium sized bird with a red wattle and mixed black/red-orange plumage. My Elladan faceclaim is Jordi Webber (Te Atiawa, Ngāti Toa, Te Arawa, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Maniapoto). He's a young man with pale brown skin, wavy black hair, and grey eyes.
9: South Island saddleback (tīeke o Te Waipounamu) and Elrohir. He is also represented by Jordi Webber.
10: Chatham Islands tūī (tūī o Rēkohu) and Arwen. This tūī is sitting on a flax plant, but it looks very similar to the tūī photo from earlier. It has blue-black plumage, a white tuft at its throat and orange pollen on its head. The Arwen faceclaim is a smiling Moriori woman in front of trees. She has long brown hair, light brown skin and a white dress.]

“Lee Y/n made it to headlines after the announcement of her partaking in this new big series coming up this fall. She will be the main female lead for this upcoming drama and people are on fire. They are so happy about the casting and couldn’t wait for it to be aired. Wah,” your friend exclaimed with exaggerated look on her face while she reads an article through her phone.
Shaking your head lightly with a grin on your face, you gently moving your wine glass you are holding. The sweet aroma of the liqour made it into your nose causing for you to feel more relaxed. It was addictive and somehow nostalgic.
“You really did it this comeback.” she couldn’t hide the excitement through her voice as she giggles and continued scrolling on her phone.
“Well, my management did a great job on choosing this project.” the humble comment made her scoffed before playfully throwing chips at your direction.
“Oh come on Ms. Humble of Korea, give yourself more credits.” she jokes and smiled widely at you.
“You know you deserve this, right?” her tone this time is softer, letting you know how sincere she is. You can’t help but to return her wholesome gaze as you went close to her for a hug.
These months have been rough for you and only few people in your life knows about it. Your bestfriend, (name), are one of these people. You admit that this project is the biggest one so far that you’ll be working on. It makes you nervous and worry of how it will turn out, but excitement tops all of it. All in all, you’re just happy to be back on track. Glad to finally be back on doing what you love to do.
Being out from the big screen for months was no joke. A lot of questions are formed and articles starts to appear out of nowhere. Vogue speculations and rumors media creats aboutyou to gain attention was horrendous. That’s one of the things you hate in the field you are in. You love your work, there’s no doubt with that. It’s just it drains your energy most of the time. Having your movements being watched by a lot of people all the time sucks big time. Surely, showbiz isn’t for the weak.
“Oh, great.” you snaps out of your trance when your friend spoke again. She looks a little annoyed while still on her phone. Seems like she’s looking at something that caught her attention.
“Look who’s back in the country.” she flips her phone to face you and your eyes squints a bit because of the brightness. Once adjusted, your eyes focused on the article flashing through her screen. Big bold letters caught your attention right away.
‘ENHYPEN back in the country after a successful world tour. The group said to be having rest after a very successful world tour and then prepare for their next come back. Read more...’ it read. You gulped and felt your heart race after reading it. The picture attached bellow the heading was the latest picture of the said group departing an airport from america.
Your eyes locked on the guy with a black mullet hair. His slightly tanner skin makes him extra noticeable when he stood beside one of his fair skinned members. Flashes of cameras reflects through his big doe eyes that makes him look so innocent. Contrary to this was his sinful looking plump lips that lies beneath his pointy nose. Jake Sim, sure is breathtaking.
Its been months ever since the last time you’ve seen him and now that he’s back in the country, it makes you feel a lot of things. Things that only him can execute.
You are snapped out from your thoughts when your friend pulled the phone away, instant regret glints her face. Her eyes are squinting at you, staring as if she just caught you doing a heinous crime. Feeling flushed from being too affected by the article and your friend entirely knowing what’s going on inside your head, you glanced away before clearing your throat.
“Seriously, get over him.” she sighs sounding a little frustrated.
Well, can you blame her? She just knew how things between you and Jake are very intricate. The two of you announced a public break up months ago. The fans, although felt sad about it, didn’t really got too affected by it because that isn’t the first time it happened.
You’re known as one of the rising young actress in your generation. Because of your undeniably talent with acting and your beauty, people sure loves seeing you on screens.
On the other hand, Jake Sim. Oh how to properly start on describing him... It feels easy and difficult at the same time. Easy, because you knew him very well and difficult because you might blabber things unconsciously due to overwhelming emotions.
Jake Sim’s name is very loud on the industry of music. Their group, Enhypen, is making big all over the whole world right now. And you think that they do deserve the fame and all since they are indeed talented.
If he’s amazing on camera, Jake is just dreamy behind them.
He is definitely your ideal type. Tall, handsome, smart, can sing and dance, good physique, have a very sexy accent, soft spoken, loves animals specially dogs, family oriented, financially stable and a complete gentlemen. What more can you ask, right? He’s definitely the one for you. He’s 100%, no doubt, your style.
“Its easier said than done.” your eyes dropped on your glass of wine and slowly, you took a sip.
Awkward silence follows after and your friend could not help but feel slightly bad for bringing up Jake. Her hand moves even before her brain could stop her when she showed you that article. Maybe she just got used to showing everything that has got something to do with the said idol.
To describe your relationship with Jake won’t be easy. Yes, you may agree that the two of have feelings for each other. People always says you two are soulmates, puzzle pieces that completes the whole picture and a very cute couple. You can’t deny that being with him brings tremendous joy within you and that you are happy together, but you couldn’t find the right answer as to why you two always fall apart.
When your gaze drifts towards her, she opens her mouth to say something only to be interrupted by a faint ‘ding’ sound from your phone. A text message from someone just saved you two from an awkward silence. Brows furrowed out of confusion, you pulled out your phone to see who texted you.
And your heart almost drops and palms instantly sweats at the sight of a contact name you haven't seen for a while. After clearing your throat that felt extra dry despite having sips of wine, you sets your glass over the center table to prevent any possible accident.
Jake Sim: Hey.
One word text message was enough to shake your whole system up. To think that he have this much effect on you kind of pisses you off. This isn’t how it suppose to be. His name shouldn’t bother you this way and he should’ve been blocked by now.
You draws in a sigh, trying to calm youself down. A glance over your friend gave you an assurance that she’s now busy with her phone again. You utter your silent prayers that she didn’t saw your reaction just now. She would’ve known what its all about right away.
You: ?
You are biting your nails consciously while (im)patiently waiting for him to text back. It didn’t took him long and you felt a bit dizzy just by thinking he’s waiting for your reply too. Its making your heart beat crazily fast.
Jake: Where are you?
Throat feeling dry once again, you gulped and licked your lips because they felt a little dry as well. As to why is still a question for you.
You: Why?
After the message was sent, the small ‘read’ word plastered below it. Right away, he was typing his reply. He seems eager. To think that it was you he was longing for you is making you tremble in excitement. Even no matter how hard you deny you missed him, you knew deep down that you are feeling incomplete without Jake Sim.
You are missing him too much and having him texting you right now has dug that feeling you've buried the moment you stopped seeing each other.
Jake: I’m at your apartment’s parking lot.
That was it. All it took for you to go stumbling your way to prepare youself was his last text message. Thankfully, you didn’t trip while hurrying over your bedroom to fetch some jacket. Walking pass by your big full length mirror, you went back to check if you look decent enough to make Jake Sim crazy.
You’re currently wearing your usual sexy silk night dress. This is how you dress to sleep or whenever you stay in your apartment so there’s no issue showing like this to Jake Sim. The amount of times he had seen you in these type of clothes was uncountable.
You have to use a jacket to cover up since you have to go use the elevator. Even if this building is usually occupied by celebrities, you don’t want to give a bad impression of dressing scandalously in a cold night.
Your friend who you left at the living room is now crossing her arms at you, head tilted over to the side waiting for the right timing to question your sudden odd behavior.
A bright smile is what you flashed to her, trying so hard to hide the fact that you are feeling so nervous to how you will tell her without gaining any suspicion.
“Are you going to be fine here? I’ll just go out to go b-buy something.” and you top it with yet another sweet smile. This type of acts should be easy for you. You’re an actress for Godsake, but maybe she just knew you so well that’s why it clearly didn’t work.
She rolled her eyes before starting gathering her stuff. “Where is he?” she asks casually while trying to put some of her belongings inside her bag.
A pout made it to your lips and guilt came rushing through you. She scoffs and crossed her arm once again after hanging the strap on one of her shoulders.
“Make sure no paparazzi will see the two of you. The project just got released and he just got back to the country. Please don’t make it to the headlines tomorrow.” she strictly reminds you.
It made a smile spread across your face before nodding continuously.
“Don’t worry. We’ll be very careful.”
She rolled her eyes again and draws a strained sigh. She just couldn’t understand why you two kept on doing these things.
After she saw you panicking after receiving a message, she already knew who it was. It almost like a routine already that her mind instantly gave her a hint on who you’re going to meet. Honestly, she doesn’t want to let you go. She wanted to ask you to make him leave or stood him up like how you suppose to do, but she knew it will just make you two sneak up even more.
You two are so crazy for one another that’s why its still a mystery for her why you kept on breaking up. If you both can’t live without one another, why not just be mature enough to deal with your issues? She just couldn’t understand.
With a hood pulled up to the head and a mask covering half of your face, both of you steps inside the elevator. It was silent, but not totally awkward. Once you arrived at the underground parking lot, her car can be seen right away so you two walked over there first.
She glanced at you, still trying to keep the strict face on. It kind of wants to make you laugh, but you tried not to.
“Don’t stay up too late since you have a photoshoot tomorrow.” she reminded you like a parent trying to remind her daughter she have school the next day.
You smiled and did a playful salute, “Aye aye captain!”
She scoffs and gave you a quick hug before letting you off. A small wave is what you gave her before walking towards the corner of the parking lot. You're pretty sure if Jake's really here, he's parked at his usual spot. Its ideal to meet up there since its at the far corner and only a few people walks around it.
His familiar car was parked like you expected it to be. Due to the heavy tinted windows, its a bit hard to tell whether he's inside the vehicle or not. Thankfully, your confusion was soon answered when his headlights opened and the engine roars.
To avoid getting too much attention, Jake always comes here to pick you up with no headlights. But the moment you arrive, he will open it so if ever someone follows you to take pictures they will have a hard time capturing a good one.
“Hey,” you greeted the moment you got inside his car and the lock clicked soon right after.
Your heart thumped crazily as you met eyes with Jaeyun. His fluffy hair a bit disheveled only made him more attractive. His smile looked so sweet yet teasing. You have no idea how he does that, but he sure knows how to drive you even more crazy.
“Hi gorgeous.” his sudden compliment made your cheeks flushed.
“What are you doing here, Sim Jaeyun?” he chuckled lightly at the sound of his government name falling from your lips. Your sweet lips. God, how much he missed kissing them.
He got easily distracted as his eyes settled over your lips that you quickly catch on. After a sigh, your eyes racked down from his handsome face to the clothes he was wearing causing for a crease to appear over your forehead.
“Wait, did you went here straight from the airport?”
You noticed that he was wearing the same clothes he have at the article your friend showed you. It was when they departed from the airport. The shirt he's wearing inside is the same one from the picture and the coat he used to cover it, abandoned at the backseat of his car.
Jake smiles and the way his eyes batted slowly confirmed it. Now you realized how he looked so tired, the circles below his eyes are visible.
“Yes. I've missed you so I figured I go straight here.”
“Are you crazy?”
He chuckles, enjoying the way you sounded so worried. “I might really go crazy if I didn’t came here to see you.” his tone so serious, eyes still fixed at you.
His words and the way his stares lingers made you blush so hard. Still trying to conceal it with keeping a straight face, you cleared your throat and glanced away from him. That's when you finally take a proper breath. You didn't even realized you've been holding your breath since you entered his car.
“Come on, baby.” the familiar pet name awoke something inside your chest, an emotion.
Your eyes trailed from outside his car towards back him. His eyes looked hooded as he gently reached over you, the warmth of his hands over your skin felt amazing.
“Can I at least have a hug? Didn't you miss me?” his lips pouts and its a sinful scene for you. Jake knew how much you love his lips and he's doing this on purpose.
After letting out a sigh, you slowly leaned your body near him so you can give the hug he was asking for, only to be surprised when his arm slid over your waist smoothly carrying you to make you sit on his lap. A yelp escapes your mouth at what suddenly happened. You are taken off guatd and he's enjoying every bits of it.
Your eyes squints and you glared at him, you rest both of your hand over his upper chest to support your weight as you try to get off him.
“Nah, you're not going anywhere.” he mumbles. The grin on his face grew as he held your hips firmly, refraining you from moving again.
“Jake!” you screamed and felt your whole face burning when he buried his face over your neck, nuzzling and inhaling your scent.
The feeling of his lips in contact of your bare skin is making you dizzy. Jake's eyes looks up while he place feathery kisses at your neck. Seeing you trying to conceal the pleasure you feel from what he's doing is making him smirk.
Slowly, you stopped resisting and just let him have his way over you. As usual.
With eyes shut tight, you let out a strained sigh. “I m-missed you.” you admits.
The grin on Jake's face widen, “I know, sweetheart.” he confidently stated.
Now that’s him. Jake Sim is very confident. He knew where he stands in your life and took grounds over it. He knows how to play his cards in the game he already mastered. Like a predator that have his prey captured and just waiting for the right time to take them in.
You bit your lip, trapping it between your teeth then pulled away slightly to see his face. He leans back, eyes settling on yours, looking sleepy and tired. He smirked and both of his hands moves up to hold your waist, thumb softly caressing it distracting you gradually.
You raised your hand to brush his hair making him close his eyes, feeling so good from your touch.
“It's been a while since I have even heard from you.” you mumble, a hint of distress exists on your tone.
“The tour kept me busy, baby.” he reasoned.
“Busy enough to even contact me once?”
He opened his eyes, half-lidded and a big smirk present on his handsome face. He looked dangerously sexy in front of you and you just couldn’t explain why its making your knees weak.
“You broke up with me, why would I bother reaching out?” his tone taunting you. He was being sarcastic and you know it very well.
Jake knew. He knew so well that the main reason why he didn’t try to reach out is because he might miss you too much. It won’t be too good for the tour if he’ll be distracted. Afterall, you are the only person that can drive him full on crazy mode.
A pout made it to your lips, “I,” your words halt, unable to defend yourself from his blow. It was true and there’s nothing you can say to back up your statement.
Jake took notice of your silence so he lets out a sigh, trying to dismiss the heavy atmosphere that caging both of you.
“Can we go up to your unit? I want to spend the night with you.” he touched your chin slightly and you are left with no choice, but to nod your head.
You two walks inside the building and wait patiently in front of the lift. Jake stood too closely behind you, a hand inside his pocket while the other one rests over your waist. He's wearing his hoodie and a cap, face covered with a mask.
Whenever you two splits up, its usually you who calls it off. Days or a week will pass and you two will slowly find yourself meeting each other again then get back together like nothing happened. In between those, Jake's name will be linked with women from the industry, but his company was always quick to deny it. Then you two will enjoy your time together, fight again, then you'll break it off. The same cycle repeating continuously like a routine.
Maybe you two are still immature? You have no idea. But one thing's for sure, no matter how complicated things between Jake and you got, you always find your way back to each other.
Jake's eyes follows you silently, waiting patiently while you go and close the light of the room. He's already on your bed, changed into his clothes he left in your apartment months ago and already prepared to get that good sleep he's been deprived of.
“What?” you asked him as you take off the jacket you're wearing. You noticed how he just laid there and watch your every move.
His eyes moved from your face down to what you are wearing. Jake gulped and felt like sleep is slowly trying to leave his system, another feeling getting awoken by how beautiful you look. The little light emitting from the lamp beside your bed was enough to give him this glorious vision of you.
“You look so damn gorgeous.” his accent popped the moment he gave that compliment.
Your cheeks blushed right away, “No, you will sleep tonight.” your firm words almost made the man on your bed groan out of frustration.
“Come on, baby.”
You shake your head ‘no’. “Jake, you looked so tired. Sleep.”
“One round?” he asked giving you his puppy eyes, pretty lips turns into a pout.
“Jake,”
He chukles and opens the blanket for you, “Fine, come here then.”
You didn't move and kept your eyes at him, a little suspicious if he's not trying to trick you or anything. He giggled sexily, making you almost lose your mind.
‘Oh Jake Sim.’
“I promise not to do anything funny. I just really want to cuddle and feel your warmth.”
You let out a sigh and decided to climb up on your bed joining him. He pulls your body closer to his not leaving any space in between. He lets your head rest on his chest and place a kiss on your temple.
His familiar warmth you longed for felt heaven and you knew right away that you will have a very good sleep. You started wondering if this means you two are back together. Even if you're bothered about it, you refrained from asking him so you wouldn't ruin the mood.
“Good night, Jake.” you said instead.
“Good night, beautiful. See you in my dreams.” and he tightens his hug on your body that fits perfectly to his hold.
You shut your eyes, inhaling his scent that sends comfort to you. Jake's breathing became more stable, light snores can be heard from him making your smile grow bigger. He moves a bit and pulled you even closer, nuzzling over you. You two were so close you can basically hear his heartbeat synchronizing with yours.
Tumblr media
“This series will be a huge deal for your career, y/n.” the bright look on your manager’s face says a lot. She was obviously excited about it.
You are too. Only, you’re a little distracted.
“Do you think Jake’s dating that girl?” you blurted out of the blue.
It’s been two weeks ever since he spent the night to your unit. As expected, you got too busy with your schedules while he’s trying to make the best out of his resting period.
And looks like he’s enjoying it very much, specially after he’s said to be seen around with his 'new' girl. A lot of articles spreads around the internet on how the idol seems to finally move on from you.
This isn’t the first time his name got involved with someone else or the first time people suspects him of dating someone else after calling it off with you. But this is the first time his company is not denying any of it.
It’s already been a day after the news broke out and normally, his company should’ve released a statement saying that it was just rumors and that is not true. But, none. Their side is silent and its bothering you big time.
In a speed of light, your manager's face turn into a frown. The hand holding your contact rested lazily beside her. The excitement over her system slowly draining out of her.
“Why are you thinking about him? He should be the least of your concern right now! You’ve been casted as the main lead of this new hot kdrama and today will be the official release of the trailer you two worked on a week ago.”
Your lips turned into a pout and eyes trailed off from her, guilt filled you because despite of hearing her points you couldn’t stop thinking about Jake.
You know how bad your agency worked hard to get you this spot. Of course you take part on doing it since you did the audtion, but you just can’t disregard the effort and time they put into this project.
She sighed, “You need to get yourself busy to take him off from your mind.” she states.
“You have a photoshoot today with your male lead. Focus on how you two will show chemistry later.”
“Ugh.” you groaned.
“You should focus on your leading man! He’s very popular these days and he’s smoking hot.” you almost laugh when you saw how her eyes almost formed hearts.
“He’s years older than me.”
“So? Don’t you think its good since he have more experiences in life and more mature? You can use some maturity in your life, you know?” her words seems very meaningful, like hinting something vougly.
“Do you have a crush on him?” you ask her with a teasing smile now.
She smirks, “Well, who doesn’t? He's tall and handsome. Very well mannered and good at his job too.”
You scoffed and played with the throw pillow beside you, “Jake’s all that too.” you mumbled that didn’t slip from your manager’s ears.
“Move your ass and get in the van now.” she said strictly making you pout even more.
In the end, you had no choice but to get up from the sofa then head outside your company building to go on with your day.
The ride to the set of your photoshoot was short and you arrived in no time. People around looked very busy as they try to make the set look perfect. You roam your eyes in awe, thinking how talented they are for making it so perfectly.
“Hi,” your head snaps to the side and eyes grew a bit big at the sight of your male lead.
He smiles, eyes almost turning into a one line, dimples showing at side of his cheeks. You got a little surprised how his face looked so different whenever he have a straight face compared when he's smiling. Your manager is right. He sure is very handsome.
You gave him a bow and greets him. His eyes stares while he keep his friendly smile. The aura between you two aren’t really awkward. Even when you first met last last week to shoot the trailer, it was easy to get along with him. You don’t know if he’s just really friendly, but he’s so easy to talk to and get along to.
The takes for that trailer was not so bad as well. The directors kept on complimenting the two of you for doing such a great job. The chemistry on screen was no joke, the look on the staffs around was enough to say that the series will surely do good.
“Have you watched the trailer yet?” he asks.
You shake your head 'no'. “I don’t usually watch myself acting because I think its cringey.”
He chuckles and you can’t help but to notice how good he looks whenever he does that.
“I totally relate. I haven’t seen it too.”
You kept your stares at him like as if you don’t believe him. He sighs and smirks, “Fine, I did. But only because my Mom forced me to watch it with her.”
You chuckled after he confessed.
“That’s cute.”
“Me?” the grin over his face made you roll your eyes, pursing your lips to prevent a smile to make its way to your face.
“I meant your Mom.”
“Well they do say I took after my Mom, so basically you are calling me cute too.”
You snorted playfully, “You’re unbelievable.” and you cannot contain the small chuckles anymore.
He smiles even bigger. “I’m telling the truth.”
You nodded your head, “Yeah, okay.”
Eventually, you both are called to your respective dressing rooms to prepare for the shoot. A big smirk plays through your manager’s face when you entered the room. You furrowed your brows, confused.
“What?” one of your make up artists makes you sit down in front of the big mirrors so they can start doing your make-up.
“So,” she starts. “I saw you two talking. You have a crush on him now?”
You rolled your eyes, “We were just making a conversation.”
She nods her head, but it doesn’t look like she’s believing any of your words. “That’s good. That is really good with building your bond and get closer to each other.”
You stayed silent and just let your make up artist do her job. She was called outside by the photographer and you thank God for that because you finally have the peace you’ve planned to have before setting your mind for the shoot.
Unpredicted at all, Jake Sim made his way inside your mind and the recent articles you just read about him. It suddenly starts to make you feel bad, but your manager did oriented you on how you should focus on yourself.
“y/n, try putting your hand on (actor name).” you snapped back to reality and realized that you are in the middle of shoot already.
After your make up, you were called to start the photoshoot and since then you are spacing out. You gulped, feeling embarrased that you actually not focused so you quickly pull yourself together.
Your eyes trailed over to (actor name) and he’s looking at you. “It’s fine, don’t be shy.” he mumbles with a small teasing smile.
With a blushing cheeks, you rolled and rests your hand over his upper chest. While still looking straight to his eyes, you try to keep a pierce look on your eyes making the smile on his face falter a bit.
“That's it! Keep that tension.” you heard the photographer directs, but you are too focused on admiring the man in front of you.
He soon pull himself and felt his hand rests over your waist pulling you even closer to him. The feeling was odd for you. Maybe because this is the first time a different male other than Jake came this close to you.
“I love it! Keep it up!” the voice was so muffled because you are too busy looking at his eyes. You are too drawn by the looks he was giving you. He looked so good with the way his eyes stares and a small smirk playing over his lips.
“You are so beautiful, y/n. Have I ever told you that?” he whispered as he leaned closer making your forehead and nose touch, his breath fanning you.
Your heart thumped harder and could feel your lips shaking a little. For a moment there, you forgot the issue involving Jake and that girl.
The schedule wrapped up nicely. The staffs and directors complimenting you nonstop that sends relief to you. Its good that in spite of being distracted, you still managed to do well.
“You did great today, y/n.” (actor name) came to say goodbye and you just nods your head at him.
He smirks, “You too.” and you gave a small bow.
A scoff escapes his lips. “Come on, no need to be so formal. We’ll be seeing each other more often so let's be friends okay?” and he even messed your hair playfully.
You frowned, “Okay, but first don't do that again.”
He chuckles, clearly delighted seeing a different emotion from you. “Nah, I’ll keep doing it.” he puts his hand inside his pocket as you shoot him glares.
“Bye, see you on monday.” and sends you a small wave as he walks away.
You are still slightly pissed of what he did when you entered your service. Your manager was too happy to your performance that she just continued going on and on about how much you and (actor name) looked good together. Feeling a little tired because of the shoot and her continuous ranting, you tried to shut your eyes.
You got awoken by gentle taps over your arm. Maybe you are really tired because you fell asleep without even realizing it and now you just arrived at your apartment.
“You did well today.” she says and even asked if she should walk you to your floor, which you declined right away.
“Go home and rest, Manager. I’m sure you are as tired as me.” and you gave her an assuring smile. She smiled back and didn’t even manage to stop the yawn from emitting from her lips.
“Alright, sleep well.” and then off she goes.
You took a long bath to refresh yourself and try to prepare for bed. Its odd because even having a very long day, you don't seem sleepy.
While staring blankly outside your apartment window, you heard your phone ringing nonstop. A strained sigh escapes your mouth before strutting closer to where you put your phone.
Your breath hitched at the sight of Jake's caller id. Heart thumping loudly inside your chest, your mind went blank once again. You thought it was your manager. This isn't the call you've expected to receive.
“Hello?” you licked your lips while fidgeting over your fingers.
“I'm here.” you heard his raspy voice from the other line as you walk back to the window to look over the view outside to somehow relax your mind.
With jacket wrapped tightly around your body, you roamed your eyes around the quiet parking lot. It was late already so like expected, nobody else is here.
Your light steps doesn't even make a single sound and you can almost hear your beating heart. By the left corner, you saw Jake's car at its usual spot.
He is really here. No headlights and waiting for you.
Hesitation occurs your mind, trying to rethink if what you're doing is a good idea. Countless times you've told yourself you'll tell Jake off and yet here you are again. Sneaking just to steal moments with him. It felt illegal that your heart is hammering so hard over your chest, but it felt good at some ways you cannot explain.
When you are only steps away from him, he opens his headlights like always and waits patiently inside.
“Hey.” he greeted the moment you make it inside his car. His eyes were hooded and obviously tired, but that didn't even lessen his godly visual. For you, Jake Sim always looks ethereal.
You smiled, blushing. “Hi.” you shortly replied.
His eyes racked from your face down to your body. “You dressed for me and damn, red lips? You sure know how to drive me crazy.” he commented after seeing the dress and red lips you decided to put on after his call. His hand reaches out to pull you closer.
You hitch your breath because of the sudden contact from his warm hands.
“W-What are you doing here?” the tone you used felt a little off for Jake. Even if you seem worried, nervous or anxious whenever meeting him here, he can always hears a hint of excitement from you. But today, there's something off.
“Aren't you happy to see me?” he pursed his pretty lips into a pout and shoot you with his innocent look on his eyes.
The wall you tried to barricade yourself with came crumbling right away. Jake and his ways of getting you are seriously a big problem.
“I a-am.” and your hand rests on top of his hand that is now on your bare thighs.
Jake smiles at the sight of your eyes softening for him.
'There it is.' he quietly mumbles inside his mind. 'There's my girl.' he added. The amount of relief that flows through him was just enough for him to flash you his pretty wide smile.
“Oh, I'm very glad to see you too.” he pulls you closer, leaning too close enough for your noses to rub against each other. It sends shivers to your spine and butterflies to your stomach.
His eyes hooded as he stares dangerously at your lips then back to your eyes, like a predator so hungry for his prey standing right in front of him.
“God, you’re so beautiful.” he uttered under his breath that made you smile with a flushed cheeks.
Your hands moves on their own as they snaked over his nape to pull him even closer, making your lips almost touching. It was tempting to just make it touch, but for Jake this is what he enjoys. The thrill and heart-thumping moments he gets from being with you. He loves and enjoys the way you can excite and make him want more. He just couldn't get enough of you.
“Kiss me.” you whispered like a wish.
Jake chuckles sexily, his hand slowly caress your thighs that adds so much tension between you two.
“You don't even have to ask twice.” and so he crashes his lips to yours causing an outburst of feelings that filled your heart.
After the heated make out session, your night didn’t end to right away. He asks you using his soft tone to put your seatbelt on, even placing yet another hot kiss on your lips before he started putting his seatbelts on too. His car then drove out from your building's underground parking lot.
“Where are we going?” you ask giving him a short glance.
He smiles and rests one of his hand on your thighs, “Check the backseat, baby.”
You blushed because of the petname he used, but you obliged and brows furrowed at the sight of a picnic basket. A mat lies beside it.
“We’ll go to our usual spot?” you couldn’t hide the excitement over your eyes when you ask him that.
His smile grew wider, “Yeah. We haven't been there for a while.”
A pout made its way to your lips. “Yes. We’re too busy.”
The two of you arrived at the top of the hill where you can see the pretty city lights from afar. It was honestly breathtaking and the first time you've seen this view, you fell in love. This is a space that is memorable and special for both you and Jake.
“Have a sit now, princess.” Jake snapped you out from your trance.
When you glanced at him, he have this big proud smile as he presents you the now laid down flatly mat that he prepared. You chuckled and thanked him before settling down. He opened the basket and your eyes soften seeing the familiar food that you enjoyed eating together.
“Aw, you didn't have to prepare this much.”
He smirks, “Anything for you.” and lightly pinches your cheeks before setting down a sandwich he made.
The night went on with just the two of you enjoying each other's company. It doesn't bother you that it was already late at night or if its getting really chilly.
Fade in the view, you stared at the daydream looks on Jake's eyes. With that long hair, slicked back and just a plain white shirt. He sure makes you ecstatic.
He leans closer making you hitch your breath. You let him take over, finally giving in to his soft kisses. Your heart almost burst outside of your chest due to the million emotions only him can make you feel.
“I missed you so much.” he confessed so low like it was something illegal.
Your eyes shut as his forehead rests at yours. The feeling of your heart beating insync together was your solace.
“I missed you too.”
After spending some more time under the bright moon and comforting silence between you, he finally decided to call it a night. You wanted to protest and ask if you two can stay for a little bit more, but refrain yourself from doing so. He helped you get up with a smile and he puts back the things to his car while you admire him silently.
So it goes. The drive on your way back to your apartment, he couldn't even keep his wild eyes on the road. Stealing glance at your side from time to time, like as if checking if you're really there with him.
At the arrival in your place, the lights were off and as he takes off his coat you felt your heart thumped out of excitement that he's here to stay for the night.
“Cuddle me?” it came out more of a request rather than as a suggestion.
You nod, agreeing. Jake went to his usual side of the bed and opens the blanket for you. After making yourself comfortable, head resting over his chest while he draws lazy circles at the small of your back, you speak out your thoughts.
“I've heard that you've been going out with another girl.” you starts and you know he heard you because his fingers stalled for a while.
“What you heard is true,” he starts and he draws in a strained sigh. “But I can't stop thinking about you and I.” he added and felt him pulling you closer.
You let out a sigh, nuzzling closer.
“I've been there too a few times.” and you two fell into silence with a mutual understanding that despite the situation you both get tangled with, its with one another where you find the most comfort.
You know you should tell him to leave cause you know exactly where it leads, but for some reasons you always ends up watching the two of you go round and round each time.
It's not right anymore. The two of you had been here before, but you always find yourself with the same ending. You just don’t understand why in spite of being aware of it, you always find yourself running your way back over to his arms.
Tumblr media
‘Jake Sim of Enhypen seen out with (girl name) again. The two were seen being intimate with each other... Read more.’
Your mind went blank at the sight of the article that has been trending since last night. Mixed of emotions occured you. The sense of betrayal, confusion and emptiness drawns unto you all at once. It was a heavy emotion.
“Hm, ex boyfriend?” you jolted and snapped back to reality when someone talked beside you.
It was (actor name) and he's curious eyes darts straight at the phone screen. Feeling slightly embarrassed, you glared at him before clicking your phone off.
“Is he your ex boyfriend?” he asks again that made you feel even more irritated.
You already started filming the series so you're basically seeing (actor name) almost everyday. He's nice and easy to get along to, but sometimes he can be annoying too. Specially that he seemed to be fond of teasing you.
“Can you mind your own business?” you rolled your eyes that only made him chuckle.
“So he is.” he concludes and you shoot him glares once again.
It’s been a week since the last night you've seen or heard from Jake. And honestly, you thought you two are doing perfectly fine. That the intimate time you spend together that night was a silent declaration that you two are just for each other. Maybe you are just so naive? So hopeful? You don't know anything at all at this point.
“You want me to help you?”
“Help me with what?”
“To get over him.” he stated innocently.
You scoffed sarcastically like it was the funniest thing you've heard in your life. But he is not fazed at all. Instead, he have this confident boyish smile he always sports that makes him extremely attractive.
“You think I haven't tried everything?”
“Yeah,” he starts and shrugs his shoulder off. “You haven't tried going out with me yet, have you?”
You felt something inside your stomach going crazy for what he said.
“You're crazy.” you manages to mumble despite with a racing heart.
“No, no!” he chuckles, trying to win you over considering his suggestion.
“Come to think of it. There's nothing to lose here. You can get over with your ex, we'll get the promotion for our series. Hitting two birds with one stone.”
You stared at him without saying any words, contemplating. The fact that you are really considering his suggestion is making you wonde if you should stop looking at his beautiful eyes. Makes you think that he's hypnotizing you into agreeing.
“And besides, if it doesn't work then we'll just make it seem like I dumped you.”
Your forehead creased as his smile grew wider.
“Why are you the one dumping me?”
He chuckles, “Okay, you can dump me since you look cute.”
You rolled your eyes at him and glanced at his hand he was offering you to conceal the deal.
And you don't know if it was just because the anger you felt towards Jake or (actor name) just looked so good that moment. But you agreed. Leading you to why you are inside his car now, coming home from your nth date.
It's already been five months and a half since the agreement. You don't know it lasted that long already and honestly you don't care because you are having so much fun hanging out with him.
He was such a fun person. You are completely aware of it before, but when you started spending time together with less people and camera around you, he was so much more. He's so caring, such a soft person which totally contradicts his physical appearance since he shows this manly demeanor, and he takes good care of you. He never lets you overthink at all. He's always there for you and never send mixed signals towards you.
It was scary agreeing to this arrangement. Like taking a big risk that you can end up regretting or loving, like someone coming out of their shells for the first time and finding out that the world has so much more to offer.
“What's making you look so serious there, gorge?” he asks as he taps his fingers over his steering wheel waiting patiently for the redlight to turn green.
You pout and showed him the article you've been reading. “Don't you think I look fat in this picture?”
It was an article about the two of you when you've been seen going out the other day and he didn't even glance at it. His eyes are glued at you completely and his eyes softens at your question. A playful smirk painted his face before he leans and give your cheeks a small peck.
“Damn, you are so adorable.” he whispered but you managed to hear it.
“I asked you if I looked fat here.”
He finally take a look and smirks, “I think you look wonderful wearing my hoodie, love.”
You blushed and smiled. “You are so lucky that you are my boyfriend, (actor name).”
A proud smile spreads across his face while he place a kiss on top of your hand. “I am indeed very lucky, Ma'am.”
You arrived at the parking lot and you gave him a kiss on his lips before leaning away to stare at his eyes. They looked arrogant, people always misunderstood him as intimidating on first look because of his sharp looking eyes. Totally opposite of your types, but he was worth the shot. They might look strong and cold, but they're totally different whenever they're looking at you.
Every time you stare at his eyes, you can feel your eyes heating up and you just want to cry for so many things. A lot of things happened already, but he was there all along. Your past self may not believe it if you got to talk to them months ago from now, but you very much happy right now. Happy without worrying of being left confused the next day or week. Consistent happiness that you never felt for a while.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” he assures you.
With a nod, you left his car and waves. You watch how his car drove off and decided to go inside your building when a familiar headlights went on.
You felt your feet stoned and slowly you glanced at his usual spot. Your heart sank at the sight of his familiar car. Its been months ever since you've seen him.
You blocked him from your phone and tried so hard to avoid him in every possible way. The last thing you remembered that you heard from him is that he announced his break up with the girl he was dating months ago and that he's taking his time off from his group.
His car door opened and you don't understand how to feel at the sight of him. The familiar warmth he gives you was still there, the thumping of heart and stomach churning were all there.
His hair grew longer and his eyes looked so tired and sad reflecting clearly on them. He walks on the passenger side of his car and opened the door.
“Can we talk?” he asks gently. “Please?” he added when he didn't saw any reaction from you.
You let out a sigh and started walking towards him. Instinctively, he rests his hand at the small of your back to guide you inside his car. After making sure you're all set, he went inside and the silence was deafening. It sure is awkward here.
“H-How are you? I heard you're taking a time off.” you started off.
His eyes sets on you and they looked so heartbroken, empty and hurt.
“Baby,” the familiar pet names sends millions of memories on you.
“please take me back.” his voice cracked.
Numerous times Jake attempted to fix what he just broken months ago and failed in all of those times. He knew it was a selfish move to make, but he couldn't take it anymore. At first, he thought that its fine when he saw the first time articles announced you and (actor name) were dating. He was actually briefly happy that you looked happy.
But then as times pass by, he realized that he fucked up so bad. He realized it wasn't him for you anymore when its still you for him until now.
The first time he tried contacting you, his heart sank after he realized you blocked him. You avoided and focused on your career. He tried waiting for you in his usual spot, but you never walked there again, purposely going inside the building through the main door. Everything started to come at him full speed and he wasn't ready for the blow.
Jake’s hope crumbles down when instead of your familiar loving gaze, he was met with a sad look on your face. That’s not what he wants.
How stupid is he to take advantage of you, being too confident that you wouldn’t, in any way, find someone else to replace him? It was his fault. He was denial, but the reality are slowly eating him up and he’s getting weak as time passes by.
“Y/n, please.” his pleading tone almost broke you into bits.
You cannot believe your eyes. The confident and flirtatious Sim Jaeyun was nowhere to be found. All you can see is his soft pleading eyes, tears pooling the sides of his eyes. He looked so... lost and broken.
And you feel so bad.
“I'm sorry, Jake. I think you should leave.” you glanced away and hand reached over the car's door to go out. Coming inside here was a wrong decision.
He was quick to stop you.
“W-Wait,”
You prevent yourself to look at him, afraid that you’ll break down the moment you set eyes on him.
“I know I’m too late already and its all my fault, baby.” he mumbles, sniffing.
'Oh God he's crying. Jake Sim is crying.' you thought to yourself.
“I just want to say that I love you, y/n. I really do and I know to myself that you will always be the only one for me. I can fool myself and try dating someone else, but my heart knows where it belongs.”
Your heart cracked at the sound of his voice and the words that were coming out from his mouth. Never in your life you thought you will here it from him. Too bad, its too late. Love really is about timing sometimes.
You tried your best to glance at him with a small smile. He's in tears and you almost lost control of yourself, but you pull through. A tear escapes your eyes as you cup his face and gently caress it.
“If someday,” he rests as he choke on his own words. “If someday you manage to find your love for me again, come back to me.”
His words were knives straight to your chest, but you tried pushing it out from your mind. You tried hard not to absorb them.
“Goodbye, Jake.” and with that, you left. Since it was so hard for you to ask him to leave, you're the one who left.
Jake was your comfort for quite some time. He was your warmth from the cold, your peace of mind and your soulmate. He will always have a special part in your heart no one else can take, like a childhood blanket that helps you sleep well, a pair of shoe you used to love and wear all the time, a favorite pajamas you wear at night.
You know when sometimes you tend to try out new styles whether its clothes or hair colors, but always find yourself going back to your 'comfort' style. That certain style that comforts you, gives you confidence and destinct warmth, that's Jake Sim for you. He is your style.
But sometimes change is not so bad. Sometimes, stepping out from your comfort zone is a great step for self development, for growth.
Jake Sim is definitely your style, and just like any other phases, they pass. You outgrew them in order to be better. You may leave that phase behind, but great memories you experienced through it, with him, will be cherish forever.

Speaking of forgiveness. (Part One)
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Masterlist
Summary: A spike of fear down the mating bond has Azriel racing back to the Night Court, terrified by what he’ll find. Meanwhile, the Inner Circle grapples with the fallout of a severe case of mistaken identity.
Word Count: 2.6k
Pairing: Azriel x Reader (She/Her)
Warnings: canon typical violence, choking/strangulation, blood, mention of pregnancy
A/N: Huge thank you to the anon who requested this. This one got looong, so I’m breaking it up into at least two parts. The next bit is mostly written and just needs editing. Part two is up! As always, feedback, comments, likes, reblogs, and asks are deeply appreciated.
⊱ —————— ❈  —————— ⊰
Rhysand had warned the Cassian that having a pregnant mate drove the protective instincts related to the bond through the roof and he hadn’t been joking. Ever since he first caught Nesta’s changed scent, he was on edge, constantly looking for potential threats or hazards. The hypervigilance didn’t let up when he slept either, causing him to startle awake at the slightest sound. In the early morning hours, before dawn began to break, Nesta moved in her sleep and knocked a pillow off of the bed, the soft thud stirring her mate. Cassian leapt out of bed, heart pounding as he gripped his knife and surveyed the room. When he realized there was no threat to be found, he carefully tucked the pillow back by his mate and slipped out of the room, deciding a sweep of the house was in order to calm his nerves. As he roamed the hallways, he caught sight of Azriel dressed in full fighting leathers, walking towards the balcony with intention. “Informant missed a check-in, I’m going to look into it,” he explained, not stopping for pleasantries. “I should be back by this evening.”
Cassian watched him go, making a mental note of the fact that he and Nesta would have the house to themselves for the day. One of the few pregnancy side effects that neither mate minded was Nesta’s increased appetite for intimacy and there was plenty the pair could get up to with some additional privacy. By the time he returned to bed, Cassian had calmed, consumed with plans for later rather than anxieties.  Exhausted after several nights of continuously waking, the General fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
It was morning when he woke again and the silver light of early dawn shone through the bedroom window, casting long shadows throughout the space. At first, Cassian wasn’t sure what had pulled him from sleep, his groggy mind cataloguing the room in search of something amiss. Just as he was about to drift back to sleep, a sound from the hallway caught his attention. Quiet footsteps on stone could be heard several feet from his door, drawing closer as the intruder walked down the hallway. He rose soundlessly, retrieving a short sword from the dressing table as he moved towards the door, careful to preserve the element of surprise. If it were just him, he would allow the intruder to enter the bedroom where he could attack them from behind, but Nesta’s presence complicated things. The thought of his mate in danger filled Cassian with cold rage and he gripped the door handle, readying himself for a fight. The priority would be to get the intruder away from his mate and subdued as quickly as possible, and for that, Cassian would need to get close. He considered waking the sleeping female, but thought better of it, afraid the precious moments it took to rouse Nesta might give their attacker the jump on him.
The footsteps drew closer, and Cassian held his breath, waiting until the assailant was almost to his door. When they were no more than a few paces down the hallway, he sprang into action, throwing the door open with a great roar and barreling towards the source of the footsteps. He brought the intruder down with relative ease, his hand closing tightly around their neck as he slammed them into the cold stone floor. They were smaller than he expected and went down without much of a fight, but Cassian knew better than to dismiss a threat too quickly. His grip on their throat tightened as they struggled beneath him, clawing uselessly at his arm. His other hand had his short sword raised, ready to bring about a quick death to his opponent. In the darkness of the windowless hall, he couldn’t make out the face of the person struggling beneath him, and with the scent of his pregnant mate lingering behind him and his veins still alight with rage, he kept his grip firm.
Several seconds passed before a scream rang out behind him and he was being pulled away. Nesta had thrown the door to their bedroom open, flooding the hallway with light. She was at Cassian’s side in an instant, hauling him back with all of her strength as she screamed his name. As he moved, the light hit the face of the figure on the floor and Cassian’s blood ran cold. The person he had tackled was no intruder at all, but none other than Y/N, Azriel’s mate.
⊱ —————— ❈  —————— ⊰
You had never stayed at the House of Wind without Azriel before. Usually, if he was leaving the city, he would fly you to your apartment to stay until he returned. Once, when he was going to be gone for several weeks, he even asked you to stay in the River House where he knew you’d be safe. The House of Wind, given its location, was just too inconvenient without your winged mate to ferry you back and forth to the city. You did like the place, though, and you enjoyed Cassian and Nesta’s company, so when Azriel had work to do but wanted you around, you tended to stay there with him.
The night of what you all now referred to as “the Incident”, Azriel and you arrived at the House of Wind late, having spent the evening at the River House with Feyre and Rhysand. Nesta and Cassian had retired for the night, so the two of you were undisturbed as you spent the evening in each other’s arms. Several hours after you fell asleep, you were roused by the feeling of large hands running through your hair in long, gentle strokes. This was the way Azriel liked to wake you, sweet and gentle, and there was a smile on your lips before you even opened your eyes.
“Sorry to wake you, sweetheart,” he murmured, his hand still running through your hair. He was seated on the edge of the bed dressed in full leathers, clearly preparing to leave. “I have to check in on an informant. It shouldn’t take more than a day at most. In the morning, Cas will fly you home if you want, though you know you’re welcome to stay here.”
You blinked the sleepiness from your eyes, sitting up to place a gentle kiss on his lips. “Be careful, please.” You said it every time he left, lest he forget his promise to come back to you.
“I will be. I love you, sweetheart. Sorry I have to leave so suddenly.” He leaned forward and placed a kiss on your forehead, pausing for a moment as he did so. “You’ll be okay?”
“I’ll be okay. I love you too, Azriel.”
You fell back asleep quickly, the feeling of Azriel’s lips lingering as you cuddled into his still-warm side of the bed. By early morning, however, his warmth and scent had faded, leaving you unable to resume your slumber once the early morning light woke you for the first time. After dressing, you decided to creep by Nesta and Cassian’s room to see if they were yet awake. While Nesta tended to sleep in late these days, Cassian seemed to wake earlier and earlier.
The House of Wind was quiet at that hour, and it struck you how odd it felt to roam the halls without Azriel nearby. When you turned down the hallway towards Cassian and Nesta’s rooms, you paused for a moment to listen, hoping to avoid interrupting or even overhearing, a private moment between the two. When you were met with silence, you walked further down the hallway, listening closely for voices or footsteps indicating one or both of them were awake. When you reached the door and still heard nothing, you decided to leave, inferring that the two were still asleep. As you began to turn, though, the door to the bedroom bust open before shutting again with a great bang.
In an instant, you were on the floor looking up at a faceless attacker. You flailed weakly, your vision going white for a moment as your head cracked against the stone tiles. You opened your mouth the scream, but before you could make a sound a large hand was clamped tightly around your throat, cutting off your air supply. In the darkness, you could see nothing but the faint outline of your assailant, clearly far bigger and stronger than you were. As your oxygen ran low, you began to thrash, clawing at the arm pinning you in place. Black spots were beginning to dance in your field of vision and panic set in. Your attacker had completely overpowered you and your efforts to dislodge his grip on your neck were feeble. You would die here. You thought of Azriel and wondered whether he would feel the moment you died or if it wouldn’t hit him until he came back and saw your body. You thought of Cassian and Nesta, how they would find your lifeless body just outside their door when they woke. You hoped they wouldn’t blame themselves and that they would take care of Azriel in your absence.
Just as your awareness was about to slip away entirely, a scream rang out behind your attacker and the hand on your neck disappeared. You gasped, coughing as you heaved precious air into your screaming lungs. Your face was wet with tears and your throat burned each breath both ecstasy and agony. After a few seconds, you remembered that your attacker was still present and rolled, trying and failing to push yourself up off the ground. A pair of hands came down on your shoulders, gentle this time, and you reeled, scooting away frantically as you prepared to be attacked again. The second blow never came, though, and in the dim light of the hallway, you realized the person approaching you was Nesta. Behind her was the blurry figure of Cassian. Had they chased off the intruder?
You were dizzy, either from lack of oxygen or the blow to the head, and you settled onto your side as you fought to catch your breath. Nesta approached you again, and this time you let her lift your head, the back stinging as she ran her fingers through your hair. Her hand came away red and she turned to look at Cassian, her eyes wide. “She needs a healer, I think.”
“Y/N,” Cassian choked out, his tone grave. “Y/N. I am so, so sorry. I thought you were an intruder… I had no idea…” Cassian sounded deeply upset and in your muddled state, it took a moment to piece it all together. The large figure, the familiar smell, the roar that you heard just before impact. Your attacker wasn’t an intruder at all, but Cassian himself.
“Cas,” Nesta said softly. “Go get Rhys.”
He hesitated for a moment, and in the pale morning light, you could see his eyes were wet with unshed tears, his face a mask of utter horror. After a pause, he turned, racing down the hallway towards the balcony. Nesta told you to wait, disappearing into her room before coming back with a cloth that stung when she pressed it to the back of your head. “I’m so sorry, Y/N. Cassian’s an idiot, he thought you were someone breaking in. He would have never done that to you on purpose.”
“I figured as much,” you replied, wincing at the sound of your voice. It was hoarse, barely even a whisper, and when you spoke your throat burned. After taking a few moments to catch your breath, Nesta helped you stand, reaching out to steady you as you swayed in place, the earth tilting on its axis at the movement. She guided you to a nearby guestroom, dismissing your concerns about bleeding on the fine bed linens as she all but shoved you into bed. No sooner had you laid back against the headboard than could several sets of rushed footsteps be heard in the corridor. Rhys entered the room first looking unusually disheveled and slightly breathless with another fae hot on his heels. The other male was a healer you recognized from the healing halls, no doubt plucked from there by the High Lord on his way to the House of Wind. Moments later, Cassian appeared as well, his face as ashen as before.  
“I’m okay,” you croaked, eager to reassure everyone, especially Cassian, that no permanent damage had been done. Although terrifying, the relief that there was not a would-be assassin lurking in the house and the knowledge that it had all been a misunderstanding calmed you. The healer moved to examine you, cool hands running over your neck and head as he made his assessment. Deciding a few sutures were in order, you bowed your head as he made quick work of the gash on the back. When he was done, he reached into his pocket to retrieve a potion meant to help ease the pain. Rhys, Cassian, and Nesta watched from the corner, exchanging worried glances and hushed words. Once the healer declared that you would heal with time and rest, Cassian stepped forward and took a knee by your bed.
“I didn’t know you were here. I saw Az leave and I thought you were at your house. Y/N, I swear I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was so stupid, but I just reacted and… By the Mother, I’m so sorry.” You had never seen the General look so broken before, his voice tight and rough as he spoke. Behind him, Nesta paced nervously, clearly fighting the urge to reach out and comfort her mate.
“Cas, I know you didn’t mean to. It was just a big misunderstanding.” Your voice broke, the last few words punctuated by a high-pitched squeak. Rhysand moved quickly, handing you a glass of water, and if it hadn’t been for the coughing fit that overwhelmed you the moment you took the first sip, you might have laughed at the absurdity of the High Lord of the Night Court fetching you water. Absorbed in your efforts not to choke, you missed the worried glance shared between the brothers at the sound of your cough. After a moment, you regained your composure. “It’s alright, Cas. Just an accident, that’s all.”
“It’s not alright,” Cas argued, “but thank you for forgiving me. Even though I don’t deserve it.”
“Speaking of forgiveness,” Rhys interjected, “Perhaps we should let Y/N rest while we figure out how to keep Azriel from killing you when he gets back.” He smiled slightly when he said it, but his tone told you he was quite serious. Upon mention of your mate, Cassian blanched.
“Just tell him I said not to,” you instructed, your words raspy and slightly slurred. As the potion began to work, the sharp pain in your neck and head turned into a deep, dull ache and your eyelids began to feel heavy. Closing your eyes, you were blissfully unaware of the turmoil your mate was currently experiencing.
⊱ —————— ❈  —————— ⊰
“He’s going to kill me,” Cassian announced when they reached the living room, his expression grim. Nesta rubbed her stomach, eyebrows drawn together in concern, and watched her mate begin to pace the room, turning to speak to Rhysand. “He should kill me. I would kill me too, if it were Nesta.”
“He’s not going to kill you,” Nesta interjected. “Right, Rhysand?”
“Right,” he agreed, sounding less than confident. “But, to be safe, we should probably have Nesta at the River House when he gets here. And, maybe have Amren on hand. Just in case, of course.”
Cassian ran a hand over his face and nodded, assuming the stony countenance of a male headed into battle. “Right… I’ll take Nesta while you stay here, Rhys.”
“Wait, now?” Nesta asked. “But Azriel won’t be back until this evening at the earliest.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure. Fear like that can travel down the mating bond from miles away. If Azriel felt even a hint of Y/N’s fear, he’s probably already on his way.”

Tumblr media
YOUR FACE SCRUNCHED UP IN DISGUST HEARING THE SOUND OF YOUR ROOMMATE SLASH VERY LOYAL FILMING PARTNER AGGRESSIVELY COUGH. With your back leaned against his dresser, your arm crossed over your chest as you watched him peak from under the royal blue duvet, his eyes puffy, and frankly—he looked like shit. You knew he wouldn’t be able to film today considering how he looked, but you knew that he wouldn’t particularly let you help look after him and miss work. In your mind, you could miss one day. It wouldn’t make a big deal, considering how your bank account was looking. However, your roommate was insisting you just film without him. 
Grimmjow and yourself have known each for over two years now. The first year you two met after you desperately decided to do porn for cash. At first, you were timid—afraid your reputation could be tarnished as soon as Nympho Productions posted the video online. The direct deposit that hit your account had you eager to try more. According to the interactions on Grimmjow and your videos, they were prevalent. Many of them rave about the two of you having a lot of chemistry together. Weird right? Having on-camera chemistry in a porn video. So, you and Grimmjow entered a contract to do a video together three times a month under Nympho Productions. You two soon became roommates after realizing that you have seen everything of each other—some workers in the company even joked about the two of you dating. 
“They’re most likely going to pair you up with someone else,” Grimmjow lets out a cough as he finally pulls the covers off his head. His light blue colored hair was a mess on his face, and his eyes were as puffy as ever. “We’ll have to film four videos together next month.” He huffs. 
“The contract is between you and me. I don’t have to go in today.” You spoke out as you shrugged your shoulders. “Plus, you look like shit. I can’t just leave you in here all sick and gross looking.” 
Grimmjow stares at you and blinks. “Did you just say I look like shit and gross looking?” 
“That’s the only thing you heard me say?” You asked. “I don’t mind staying here and taking care of you. That’s what roommates and occasionally video partners do.” You smiled at him, and he simply rolled his eyes at your gesture and rolled over in bed so that he was no longer facing you. 
“Stop being so nice as if you didn’t curse me out yesterday for eating that shitty flavored ice cream, you brought, Y/N. Don’t let me stop you from making money. Plus, you should get used to doing videos with other guys.” Grimmjow says.
“You ignored my sticky note on the ice cream that you said was nasty, you asshole.” You said. “I have chemistry with you; why would I want to do that?” 
He sits up in bed, giving you an annoyed look. “Actors have chemistry with multiple people. So do porn stars. Now go because you must be at the studio in like an hour. I’ll be okay.” 
Your lip gloss-covered lips part to argue against his words before admitting defeat. “Fine, I’ll keep you posted on who I’m filming with. Hopefully, it goes quickly.” 
“Let’s hope whatever lucky guy doesn’t cum too quickly.” 
“Just how you did our first time filming together.” You jokingly say as you shut the door before he can chuck his pillow at you. 
The journey to the studio wasn’t that long. As soon as you stepped into the office, many workers were already doing their job for the day. You didn’t know how this day would go considering that you had no clue who you were filming with. You feared that you would be paired with someone who cum too quickly, which dragged on filming. Or maybe you’ll be with someone you weren’t attracted to, and you couldn’t have sex with someone you weren’t attracted to. Granted, you were a porn star—it wasn’t like you were looking for prince charming. You just thought it would be better to stare at someone pretty. You also didn’t want the sex to be seen so forced; any director could point out when the two stars aren’t into it and just doing it to get over with. You were a woman of standards and had to make sure everything you did was of criteria, including sucking cock on camera. 
“Oh my God! You actually came to work,” One of the set assistants said as she approached you with a clipboard. “We heard about Grimmjow being sick and assumed you wouldn’t come in. That saves everyone's ass,” She links arms with you as she walks down the hall toward the makeup and hair department. 
On the long hallway towards the makeup and hair department location, posters of popular videos the company created were on the walls. You didn’t have a poster yet, considering that you only filmed with one person. 
“Don’t you have to find someone to replace Grimmjow?” You walked into the room and sat in the chair to get your makeup done. 
The majority of the makeup looks depends on the scenario. In essential blow job videos, the makeup artist sometimes used waterproof eyeliner, depending on who was directing the video. Some directors adored the pleasing aesthetic shot of a pretty person with eyeliner stains on their face after having a cock tap at the back of their throat—others didn’t, as they thought it was trashy. 
“Uh, yes.” The young woman said as she brought her clipboard closer to her chest. She glances down at her sneakers before speaking again, “It’s surely a first for Nympho Productions.” She forces a smile on her face, and your eyebrows are raised in curiosity. 
“Who am I filming with? I hope you guys didn’t just get some random guy.” You sighed. “If that’s what you’re referring to, this being a first.”
“No, it’s just you’ll be filming with uh—Director Kyoraku.” She says after she checks her clipboard. “We never had a director step in for a video, so this is a first, and everyone has been running around like a chicken without its head because of it.” 
Your mouth instantly dried up at the sound of that. You had worked with Director Shunsui Kyoraku a couple of times, considering he’s been the director for countless of you and Grimmjow’s videos. You have sat in the studio’s cafeteria and overheard many workers talk highly of him. He was charismatic without even trying. He was kind, very kind actually, and not in the creepy power dynamic kind that many directors in Hollywood give. You couldn’t deny how attractive he was. He has seen practically everything of you on camera—so why was the thought of recording a video with him having your stomach forming the most insane knots?
“You can refuse to do the video. He has stated that and wants you, his co-star, to be as comfortable as possible. He understands that Grimmjow is your usual partner—and recording with someone new can be extremely intimidating.” The set assistant explained. “We can start whenever you’re ready; the shoot can be as long or short. We need to get enough footage to release an exclusive video for premium subscribers for the site.” 
Your lips form a straight line before speaking, “It’s okay. I’m comfortable with that. Are there any specific positions he prefers for today?” 
“Once again, anything that you’re comfortable with.” The set assistant said. “You’re actually his first—on camera. So, he’s kinda going to be looking at you for guidance.” She chuckles lowly as she rocks on her heels nervously. Frankly, she was afraid that you’d back out last minute. 
Now it was you chuckling; you’d heard rumors about Director Kyoraku. From how big his cock was to how amazing he was in bed. Now here you were with the grand opportunity to see if the rumors were true. 
“Do you think we should go with waterproof eyeliner?” The makeup artist asked out loud.
Usually, when you were asked this question, you didn’t know what to say. Especially if you didn’t know who was directing the shoot during your scenes. Your lips rubbed together before parting to speak but soon were interrupted by the one man that had been running through your mind since you learned the news that you were going to be filming with him. 
“Regular liner would do.” 
Your eyes met with his, and you felt your body go through a heat rush. It felt like all the blood in your body rushed to your face. Your words that were tumbling around in your mind seemed to come to a stop. The makeup and hair department people around you seem to move slowly. Shunsui Kyoraku was leaning against the door frame of the room you were in. 
“Then you guys heard the director, regular liner it is.” You could hear the makeup artist chuckle at your words.
“He must have quite some interesting plans for filming with you today,” The artist commented as she grabbed the black eyeliner. 
Shunsui took the empty seat just a few inches away from you. He rested his head in the palm of his hand as he stared at you. Completely drinking in your looks as you were getting your makeup done. As the makeup artist turns to grab another makeup product—you catch a glimpse of him trailing his tongue across his lips before he rubs his hand across the stubble on his face. 
“I came to you before our shoot to talk.” He interrupts the silence that swirled around the room. 
“I already told the set assistant; I am comfortable with any position you want to try.” Your eyes met his.
“Right.” He clicks his tongue before speaking again, “I know this is awkward, but my main goal is to ensure you’re comfortable.” 
You crossed your legs across one another, the jean skirt you wore rising just a bit with your provocative action. You took note that Shunsui’s eyes glanced down at your thighs. He swallowed so hard you could see his adam apple bob because of his actions. Were you making him nervous? 
“I’m very much comfortable with filming you. I know I suppose to help guide you, but I’m sure you don’t need much guidance.” You stated. 
The makeup artist applied a coat of lip gloss on your plush lips before asking you to rub your lips together to finish the minimal makeup look. You rubbed your lips together before glancing at your reflection in the mirror. Your golden skin glistened in the bright light that was attached to the mirrors, and you couldn’t help but smile at your beauty. Pushing yourself out of your seat so you can change into something else, you look at Shunsui before your lips curve into a smile.
“Remember the words you told me when you first directed one of my videos? Just do it as if I’m not even there. So just do that, sir.” You let your hand place on his shoulder before leaving the room. 
“See you on set in about fifteen minutes.” You said out loud as you waltzed down the hall to change into something else. 
You went to your dressing room, which was usually shared with Grimmjow, to change into something more appealing to the eye. Your breasts sat up nicely in the shirt you wore, but you knew you wouldn’t even have it on in a matter of minutes. You spent the remaining time in your dressing room trying to figure out if you could give Grimmjow a heads-up on what was happening. He was going to see the video regardless—but you were sure his little ego would be bruised seeing who you would be filming with. As your fingers hovered over the message thread to send a quick message, a knock was heard at the door. The same set assistant that dropped the massive news would give you a sly smile, “We’re ready for you on set, Y/N.” She adds. 
“I’ll be right there.” You answered. 
You never were nervous about filming other than your first time on camera. You remembered how timid you were with so many sets of eyes on your bare body. Today you were so nervous that you could feel the knots twisting and turning in the pit of your stomach. However, you kept remembering how people talked highly about Shunsui on set. Not one person had something negative to say about the guy, so of course, he would take his time with you. Of course, when action was yelled, he would make you as comfortable as possible, considering that this was different from filming with Grimmjow. His large hands caress your body like a well-trained masseuse. Obviously, you got the idea clearly of him choosing for you to wear regular eyeliner just for when your pretty mouth was wrapped around him, gagging pornographically until tears stain your heated cheeks. Mascara stained your face as you were attempting to regain your breath from Shunsui’s cock being in your mouth.
Your heart thumped against your chest as you lay on your stomach, and when you felt the weight of Shunsui on you—you could feel your breath hitch. His lips linger, kissing behind your ear. You can feel the wetness of his tongue trace alongside the line of your ear before whispering, “If I’m being too rough, let me know.” 
His voice was so smooth that simply by saying that, you grew ever wetter from the time of his cock being in your mouth. You felt his lips drag a line of kisses down the spine of your back, and you could feel your skin littered with goosebumps in anticipation. Your mouth gasps apart to let out a whimper of desperation. Your pussy twitched in anticipation, feeling Shunsui’s cock resting upon your ass. The sigh of comfort you let out when you could feel him slide into you. His hand was placed on your waist as he was waiting for you to get used to the feeling of his cock stretching you out. The broken cries of pleasure you let out as soon as his hips begin to rock cause you to feel lightheaded. You couldn’t put your finger on it, but this felt different. 
You and Grimmjow scenes worked as partners. You tolerate each other because you would have filmed with each other rather than anyone else. Oddly, the two of you just became close friends within those years. The thought of filming with another guy never settled in your mind until you felt the satisfying feeling of Shunsui fucking you like a madman. The pornographic sound of heated skin slapping against each other was sure to be picked up on the shotgun microphone that was above Shunsui and yourself.
When Shunsui pulled himself entirely out of you—you felt so bare with his cock tapping at that spot that caused your dreamy eyes to lolly in the back of your head. Even barer than being naked in front of a whole production. You could feel the tip of his cock kissing your drooling entrance before the wet feeling of Shunsui using his spit as lube. Once again, he’s bottom down inside you, but time slowly—teasingly. It left you whining out for more, and with each whine, he rewarded you with what you wanted. The sound of the bed tapping at the wall was attempting to overpower your moans. The wet squelching noises of Shunsui’s spit plus your wetness that coated his cock with each push forward into the cushion of your ass. 
“Harder.” You gasped through your moans. 
He pushed your coils from the side, placing a soft kiss on your temple. “Harder, what?” His questions through a dragged-out pant. 
“Harder, please.” You whimpered out. 
He grants your wishes without a complaint. His large hands spread your cheeks apart just so his girthy cock could kiss that one spot that had you seeing stars and slurring out moans of his name. The fiery pit that was bubbling in your stomach pushed you closer to the edge. The hairs on your body rise in anticipation as your orgasm finally come upon you. Your pussy pulses around him as you hear Shunsui utter something before he cums. That didn’t stop the notorious director from stopping. It seemed like that motivated him to fuck you through your mind-blowing orgasm. 
Your skin was stained with his scent as the two of your bodies went limp at the feeling of playing tug-a-war with the intense orgasm. Your head plopped down on the pillow, and you could feel Shunsui slowly pull out. You couldn’t even imagine the mess that was in between your thighs just because of the mere moment of you urging him to cum in you. As soon as you heard the director yell that you guys were done, you finally were able to rest your mind that only could process Shunsui Kyoraku and only him. 
While tugging on the robe someone gave you, you let your fingers brush against your coils, trying to compose yourself from the events that transpired. Your stomach felt like it filled with butterflies, and you felt fuckin’ lovesick. Your feet hit the softness of the rug that was near the bed you just received one of the best fuckings of your life on. Your body plopped backward as you could hear many filming crew members completing their duties. You felt the space next to your sink downward, and Shunsui took the spot next to you, wearing a similar silk robe that you were wearing. On the back of it was an embroidery of the company’s name on the back. 
“We should do this again?” Shunsui eyes glance down at you. 
“Again?” Your eyebrows raised at him, and you could only hear him hum in agreement at his words. 
“Contact my assistant when you make a decision.” 
And with that, you watched him walk away from your view as his assistant approached him with a water bottle and his cell phone. You were left with the taste of Shunsui on your lips and your mind filled with just him. To think you were about to call out to take care of your roommate today.

JEAN GUNNHILDR
Tumblr media
“Are you okay? Do your feet hurt?” 
With Jean’s arms wrapped protectively around yours, the two of you swayed to the romantic, slow-dance waltz together as couples just like you danced in the background of your vision. Sure, your feet ached, your dress was scratching up your thighs, and the people around you were starting to give you a headache but you’ve never felt more alive. Jean’s firm yet warm touch upon your body never ceased to make your heart flutter, and with the close proximity between you too, your heart was practically close to flying off.
“In all honesty, I’m in agony with these heels,” you chuckled, resting your head beneath your lover’s neck. “But, I do like being able to dance with you at eye level. So, I can bear the pain a little while longer.” 
Jean casted a worried look with her eyes and stopped dancing to hold your shoulders. “That’s not good. You might get blisters if you overextend your comfort. Would you like to go home now? I can carry you if you’d like.” She kneeled down on the floor in a princely manner and reached to remove your shoes. “May I? I brought spare flats in case you got tired.”
Of course she did. Jean was never one to be unprepared.
“Hah, you always seem prepared for everything, Jean.” You grinned, moving to go sit down at your designated table. “I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have you.”
The tips of the Gunnhildr’s ears glowed bright pink as she moved to kneel down in front of you. Carefully removing your heels like they were Cinderella’s glass slippers and placing a kiss just above your knee. “Any pain? Do you feel sore anywhere?”
“Are you gonna give me a massage if I do?” You joked. 
“If you want, I can.” Her face looked dead serious. 
“Ah…Jean, I’m joking.” You pressed the back of your hand to your mouth to stifle your laughter. You couldn’t help it, Jean was so cute when she was serious! “I’m fine, but those flats you brought do sound quite nice. Maybe at the next wedding I’ll plan to wear something more convenient next time.”
Jean smiled and slipped on the pair of flats she brought along delicately on your feet. Almost reenacting a whole Cinderella scene with you as she was so gentle and cautious with sliding the piece of footwear on. “Perhaps. But if you ever forget again, I’ll always have an extra pair just in case.”
She looked up at you with those adoring, blue eyes before her attention was taken away from the various cheers and squeals of women. All surrounding the bride of the wedding like some sort of weird formal rave. The bride was positioned at the top of the stage with her back turned to the crowd of cheering women, all eager with their hands in the air as they waited for her to throw the objects in her hands. 
A bouquet. 
“Oh! They’re doing the bouquet toss!” You fawned. “Jean, do you think I…?”
She smiled warmly at your indication and nodded. “Of course, you still qualify for a bachelorette after all.” Though that word left a bitter taste in her mouth. “Go on. I’ll be waiting right here for you.”
You beamed at this response and quickly kissed her cheek before running off, much faster now that you were no longer wearing heels. Jean couldn’t help but smile brightly at how excited you were to partake in such a funny little wedding tradition. I mean, catching a bouquet to indicate who’s next in marriage? It was a silly idea, yet Jean couldn’t help but let her mind take off with the concept in mind.
You married to her.
Jean would be lying if she said she never thought of the idea of marriage. The two of you had been together through thick and thin, dealing with any and every obstacle together as if you shared a single body. She always thought she was destined to lead the nation of Mondstadt alone, but when you came along, she finally realized just how important –and fun– it would be to have someone who loved her in her life. Someone who wanted to share the rest of their life with her. 
And she wanted to spend the rest of hers with them too. 
An erupt of screams snapped her out of her thoughts. The swarm of bachelorettes clearing to make way for the lucky woman in the middle. ‘I can’t see her.’ Jean thought worriedly. ‘Was she trampled by the others? Y/N–!’
Standing up from her seat, Jean froze when she heard your shout. 
“Jean!” You shouted from the crowd, your voice far from distress as it sounded more like happiness. 
“Y/N?” The crowd parted like the Red Sea to show you standing in the middle. The lights from the wedding cascading a heavenly glow in your smile when you turned around. Bouquet of roses in hand. 
“I caught it!” You shouted, a broad smile on your face as your fellow bachelorettes cheered for your win. “I caught it, Jean!”
Indeed you did, but Jean didn’t have it in her to respond. Simply staring at you with the deepest blush ever, as all she could think about was you in a wedding dress, getting married to her and smiling through a thin veil that masked your everlasting beauty. Jean couldn’t talk. She couldn’t fathom. And yet when she sees you jumping around excitedly with the bouquet in hand, a burst of serotonin tells her ‘yes, you can marry this girl. She caught the bouquet to marry you.’ And Jean realizes that she can marry the girl of her dreams, and she will.
‘Even in a dress that isn’t white, you look more like a bride to me than any woman in this room…’
Tumblr media
EULA LAWRENCE
Tumblr media
Eula never really liked weddings. From all the weddings she was forced to partake in as a child, they were always the same, stuffy, boring weddings that bored her to death and made her loathe such events whenever she were invited to one. Weddings to her were just an excuse for the Lawrence clan to gather up as one big group, and act like assholes once more until Eula couldn’t stand it. It’s come to the point where every time a wedding is even mentioned, Eula would flinch and think back to all the bratty adults she had to listen to while stuck at a table with barely edible food.
Though, this time the wedding she was invited to wasn’t as sufferable as she thought. For one, her clan wouldn’t be related to the event at all, and two, you were there; her loving and doting girlfriend that begged her to go as your date. And how could she not? After all, she did look quite attractive in formal wear. 
But you…you. You were another story. When you came out for Eula to pick you up she was beyond smitten. Barely able to get her words across as you laced your arms with hers and made your way to the carriage so that you could be taken to the wedding venue. Even then, Eula could not get a word out!
But she could now.
“The bride is honestly so beautiful. I think her dress was imported from Fontaine.” You pushed around one of the fancy looking dishes that you were served and turned to Eula for her opinion. “Do you think I could order a dress as good as that? Ah, but the shipping…I’d need to save more mora…”
“You do not need a dress to enhance your beauty.” Eula crossed her arms, almost appearing mad as she furrowed her brows. “Just being with me has always been a treasure.”
A beat of silence passes by and Eula quickly unfolds her arms. “H-However, if you want a dress from Fontaine I will gladly order it for you if you wish.” The higher pitch in her voice gave away her frenzied panic, and you couldn’t help but giggle in response.
“You’re always so sweet to me, Eula. So charming even when you’re being silly.”
“I am not being silly.”
She all but huffed that response like a steam engine about to explode, causing you to burst out into a fit of giggles and prod a tiny smirk onto the bluenette’s face. “Oh Eula, this is why I love you so.”
‘And I love you too.’
A bunch of screaming women cut your moment short as you both turned to see the ravenous swarm of desperate singles reaching to try and catch the bride’s bouquet, as she was standing far off to the side ready to launch the flowers in the air. Who would’ve thought that so many women were desperate to get married in Mondstadt? Apparently here was your answer.
‘Such a foolish tradition.’ Eula thought, frowning at the sight. ‘Letting a mere bouquet of flowers decide when you get married? How odd.’
“Ah, the bouquet toss!” You exclaimed joyfully, “I’ll be back my love, I want to join in on the festivities too!”
You ran off to join the crowd of desperate women and Eula couldn’t help but be surprised by your actions. Were you really going to engage in such an activity? Eula couldn’t help but be curious. 
You stood yourself in the far back and put your hands up adorably as you weren’t as ravenous as the other singles in the crowd. The other women fighting for their spot to shine, while you bounced on your heels for some extra height in order to strengthen your chances. Ouch, that was cute. Eula glanced at the wall to hide the overbearing smile stretching over her face. Too much for the knight to take. 
“It’s mine!” Several women called out. The bouquet bouncing along aggressive hands before making its way to the back and landing right into your hands. Holy Barbatos you did not expect that.  
“Woah—!” You stumbled with the bouquet for a second before holding it firmly in your arms. “I…I caught it! Eula, look! It landed!”
She turned to the sounds of your cheering and audibly gasped when she saw you running over with the bouquet in hand. Leaving a trail of sad, single women to disperse as you came home as the lucky champion of the evening. “It just crowd-surfed and landed in my hands! Isn’t that interesting? It’s almost like it’s fate!” 
Fate.
Eula stared at how excited you were to win such a tradition and watched as you plucked a flower from the bunch and held it out to her. “For my lady,” you joked in an over dramatic voice, bowing like a dame and presenting the rose as a gesture of romance. 
“All that for a flower,” Eula scoffed, though she took the flower from your hands and twirled it, a small smile reaching her lips. “Thank you, I will treasure it.” 
“Of course, it’s extra special since it’s from a bouquet I caught. Maybe it’s destined for us to get married next, hm?”
Although a playful little jab at the bluenette, Eula couldn’t help but wonder if the destiny was real. The way the bouquet bounced off the other hands and just landed in your arms was a bit odd in her eyes. Maybe it was just the fate of destiny that brought the bouquet to you. Who knows, perhaps Barbatos had blessed the winds to carry the bouquet towards you, gifting you with the reward of changing fate tonight. 
Eula’s cheeks flushed. But what would mean you and Eula would be getting married next! Marriage! As in wife and wife, officially together in legal documents and last names!
She turned to you and saw you playing idly with the roses plucked straight from the bouquet. Twirling the thorn-stripped stem in your hand before pinning the ornament behind your ear. ‘Beautiful.’ Eula thought. And for a second she forgot all her worries and wondered if a dress could enhance your beauty even more. A wedding dress.
‘Perhaps weddings aren’t too bad. As long as it’s a wedding between you and I.’
Tumblr media
MONA MEGISTUS
Tumblr media
Let’s be honest, Mona really only agreed to attend the wedding simply because she got to eat free fancy food. That, and it was also an excuse to have a free fancy dinner date with you, something she unfortunately bashes herself over as she’s not able to treat you to the fanciest places all the time. 
As snootish as Mona can be, she really beats herself up over not being the perfect girlfriend for you all the time. Sitting here with you at an expensive wedding with couples in their fancy clothes made her realize just how pathetic she really was when in comparison to the bride and groom. The fact that they could afford all of this, all the food, the decorations, the people, and look so content with themselves just made Mona feel as if she could never live up to those standards. I mean, how could you even love her when she couldn’t even afford basic roses? She couldn’t even treat you right, let alone love you properly.
Why do you even stay with her?
“Is something on your mind, my love?” You murmured out of concern.
“Hm? Oh, I was just marveling at the taste of this salad. The dressing is nothing like I’ve ever tasted.” You chuckled over her enthusiasm for salad. Mona always seemed to be some sort of salad connoisseur whenever you’d go out to eat, and her love for such a simple palette made her all the more cuter. “Is it really that good? I thought I made a pretty good salad at home.”
Mona rolled her eyes playfully and stabbed a piece of tomato. “Your salad is…on par. That is a compliment considering this was made by a professional chef.”
You feigned a look of hurt before giggling and going back to your meal. The loud sounds of songs and people dancing drowning out as all Mona could listen to was the sound of you enjoying yourself. You seemed so content, so at ease, and all Mona could think about was how to afford all of this if she wished to spend her future with you. 
And she really, really did.
“You keep staring at me with those wide, unblinking eyes.” You scrunched up your shoulders at the sight. “It’s creepy.”
“What? Am I not allowed to stare at my own girlfriend?” Mona scoffed dramatically. “I really thought loving you meant I could admire you for as much as I pleased. Can I not?”
“It’s just weird, you’ve never been so laser-focused on my face before.” You bashfully laughed. “Are you really okay? You seem so out of it this evening.”
“Of course I’m okay. I just like watching you.”
“That’s so creepy taken out of context.”
“I’m not creepy!”
Mona swatted at your arm and you couldn’t help but stifle your laughter as she tried so hard to defend her honor. Her cheeks mirroring that of a hamster’s as they puffed up like tiny balloons out of frustration. “Honestly, what did I even see in you back then? The stars are truly strange for pairing me up with you as my soulmate.”
“Sure, blame the stars for falling head over heels for me. Klee told me about how you’d pray to the stars every night that I was single.”
“I– buh– KLEE–!”
“Hah…Don’t be too hard on the girl, Mona. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have had the courage to confess to you.” You took note of the pink starting to glow on the astrologist’s ears. For someone so “high and mighty” as she so often claimed, she really couldn’t hide her own embarrassment well. “Come on, let’s lighten up a bit, Mona. We’re at a wedding, let’s go enjoy ourselves.” 
“...I suppose you’re right, darling.” Mona huffed. “Now, I believe I owe you a slow dance for–”
Suddenly a bouquet slammed itself into your head and landed right on top of your lap. The both of you shrieking like little girls as you had no idea what just happened until you fully registered what you were hit with.
“AAAAAAA wait wait–! Mona, stop screaming! It’s just the bride’s bouquet! Mona I’m okay don’t scream–!”
You lifted the bouquet of pink up to your face to show Mona and smiled charmingly with a facefull of flowers. “It’s just the bouquet Mona! Somehow I managed to catch it!” Mona was still shell-shocked to fully register that you were okay. “I caught it! I caught the bouquet with my face and I didn’t even try!”
Ignoring the depressed wails of the unlucky women who weren’t as lucky as you, you got out of your chair and went over to hug Mona, who was now finally starting to wake up from her daze. 
“Mona, do you know what this means?!”
“Huh? What–?”
“We can get married next!”
MARRIED?!
You squeezed Mona so hard she swears she saw the stars on the ceiling. Yet despite the bone-crushing hug you gave her all she could think about was that you caught the bouquet, and in Mondstadt traditions that meant that you were next in line to get married next. You while you were dating her.
‘Married? Y/N wants to get married next? With me? Why?!’ If Mona’s eyes could spin they would. Too overloaded with information to comprehend the thought. 
“How wonderful this is, it seems like we were blessed with fate huh?” You joked. Though, when it came to fate, Mona never joked around. “I can’t wait to potentially spend the rest of my life with you…”
The astrologist tensed up at your words before softening in your hold. You quickly kiss her forehead before running off to show your lucky surprise to your friends, leaving your girlfriend standing by your table in both shock and dumbstruck love for you. ‘She really wants to spend the rest of her life with me…’ Mona pondered, heart beating against her ribcage as she grasped the edge of the table for stability. “Hah, I was worried for nothing…”
She looked over at you flaunting your accidental bouquet catch to various guests and smiled as you seemed so happy with the implications of having such a lucky catch. The astrologist sitting back at your table and watching you quietly from afar just as she did back when she pined for you all those years ago.
‘I suppose I don’t need an expensive wedding to make you happy. Just us being there makes it worth a whole fortune.’

Dynamic Change | Soldier Boy one shot request
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Soldier boy x fem!reader (afab)
Summary: Soldier Boy is the answer to stop Homelander, Butcher's secret weapon, to get his revenge. While you're sceptical of this idea — sharing M.M’s concerns — you decide to just roll with the punches and see what happens. While waiting for Butcher and Hughie, you have to sit around and catch Soldier Boy up with the 21st century and try to keep him happy, convincing him to partner up and heal from his team's betrayal — but soldier boy notices something in you and wants to change the subject.
Word count: 2.8k
Warnings: NSFW 18+, so MINORS DNI. Female anatomy is used for the reader, and she/her pronouns and the reader is similar to Kimiko with enhanced strength because of compound v experiments. Detailed smut: dominance and submission (m starts dom and switches), pinning up against the wall, dirty talk, neck kissing, neck biting, thigh fucking, hair pulling, pushing to the bed with enhanced strength, f on top, p in v, cumming inside and begging.
Tumblr media
As the evening sun cast a long shadow across the room, Soldier Boy sat in the bed and was dumbfounded at this strange and unique experience. He was a relic of the past; disorientated and confused, he found himself surrounded by an unfamiliar world of technology and societal changes. 
He was the key to Butcher’s new plan, the weapon to use against Homelander, but the one thing that was in his way was that Soldier Boy wasn’t complying with the “team up”. You, like M.M., were sceptical of all of this; could you really trust a supe to destroy another? Especially when looking at his history. But this feeling didn’t last long; you decided that this was the only option to get revenge that everyone was craving — to get Homelander to suffer finally. 
You were sitting on the sofa waiting for Butcher and Hughie to return; they told you they were running a few errands, which you knew meant ‘he’s your problem until we get back’. It wasn’t like you were in a vulnerable position, especially with the compound V that coursed through your veins and was the catalyst for your misery. It was something you and Kimiko could relate to; after learning her variation of sign language, you became closer and became each other’s comfort; you were similar to her in having enhanced strength, and this was another key component to the team — after Butcher was comfortable enough to accept you. After all, he couldn’t say no to extra manpower, especially when going against the worst villains. 
You looked to your side to look at Soldier Boy holding an empty bottle as he watched the television; he seemed to be in a sense of comfort but also tense with trying to understand the new world. Every joke that happened, every bit of news and culture change was swirling through his mind; you felt bad for him and wondered what it would be like to be in his shoes — frozen and betrayed. This sympathy lasted until his intolerance slowly emerged; you tried to ignore him and understand that he was literally from a different time. Your modern presumptions were unfair, but that was still a hard pill to swallow.
“What the fuck is that?” he questioned with an exclamatory tone. 
“What? The guy with his baby?”
You were watching the adverts, which showed a device a man could use to have his baby close to him, to help fathers. 
“That’s what being manly is now?” he took another sip of his new and fresh bottle, “Man, you lot went soft.”
You rolled your eyes, trying not to rock the boat too hard. You didn’t want to have to answer to Butcher if you ruined all his plans. You had powers but were still intimidated by Butcher; after getting into trouble with Vought, you didn’t want to face the future alone without your team.
“Just a man wanting to be with his baby… Probably helps the wife out as well,” you paused momentarily, “I know it’s a shock, but we don’t live in the detergent commercial anymore; things changed.”
Soldier Boy furrowed his brows, looking at you with a confused expression. 
“Personally, I think it’s sweet to see a man care that much about his child; it shows he doesn’t want to leave the mother and the child,” you felt the need to stand up for your beliefs around him. 
Soldier Boy started to look away from you and thought about your words; you could tell he was slowly seeing your point while thinking he couldn’t be caught wearing the contraption. He knew that being frozen didn’t damage his intelligence. 
“I know what you mean… I always wanted children.”
You were surprised; the Soldier Boy wanted children; he seemed like the player that would never properly settle down with anyone; you also felt a strange feeling with acknowledging that this was the beginning of Soldier Boy being vulnerable with you, wanting to break some barriers. 
“Really, Soldier Boy, wanting children… Don’t take offence, but I never thought about that.”
“I don’t take offence,” he paused momentarily, “Also, just call me Ben… I know you by Y/N, not your hero name.”
“I don’t have one.”
“What? But —”
“Forced to have it,” you took a deep breath, “I didn’t get the opportunity to choose; I was experimented on.”
“Wow,” he had to process what you said, “I’m sorry… That must have been hard.”
“It was, but at least I can protect myself now.”
Ben was already accustomed to your powers. He wasn’t impressed by them but was glad to see someone without a costume on, someone grounded; still, he had sympathy with knowing that his powers were on his terms while you were the guinea pig — at least a surviving one. 
“Guess that guy was right… I can’t find my team without the knowledge of today.”
“Yeah, Hughie was right,” you started to get up from the sofa, “Look, I don’t want to rock the boat, but —”
Ben cut you off: “Then don’t, already told that Hughie, Butcher and now I’m going to tell you… I’m not interested in helping anyone; I don’t care what you did for me… My old team used to be there for me and look where trusting them got me… Handed to the reds.” 
“That was the past, we will help you, and all you have to do is add one more person to the list… We practically made Countess a human sacrifice for you, Hughie and Butcher have found the rest and Black Noir is a part of the Seven. Now we can —���
“Y’know, sweetheart, you might think having a team is a good thing; you get the job done, then you can laugh when the working day is over… Look, I’m sure you’re a great person, but one day, your team won’t see that. I see the way Butcher talks about people like us,” he motioned with his hands to sign you both, “He’ll make you bait in a plan one day. Get rid of you as mine did… Betray me and made me think they loved me.” 
Ben was momentarily lost in thought, and you could tell he was thinking about Crimson Countess. When you met her, you were with Frenchy and Kimiko; you felt sympathy for her after watching her pathetic little tribute to Soldier Boy; after she spoke, you honestly thought there was a reason for what she and the team did; you had gathered the puzzle pieces a long time ago after investigations and using Annie for information. Yes, Ben was stubborn, but for a good reason; if you were in the same shoes and had the boys betrayed you and left you dead for decades, forgiveness wouldn’t be on your list. 
“They wouldn’t do that to me; we’ve gotten into too much trouble together… Think we’re thick as thieves at this point,” you let out a small laugh to lighten the mood, “I know it hurts… Especially with Countess, but you need to help us… We need you.” 
“It’s hard to forget,” he let out a deep sigh, “Y’know I wanted some rugrats of my own, with Countess, yeah ain’t that a bitch…wanted a couple of little boys and raise them up to be men, now? Now I got nothing.” 
This man had lost everything, was confused and experimented on, and you could relate to him in those ways; after being forced away from home under the name of curiosity and needing to match the American supes, you were just the surviving sample. But to lose love and know that they felt nothing for you is a different type of hurt, and you didn’t want to imagine that.
“I’m sorry, but if you do change your mind,” he shot a sharp look at you, “if you change your mind. You can live your life, be free from suffering and find a woman you can have fun with… You don’t need Countess.”
You tried to give him support until you saw a mischievous smirk that crept on his face, and he looked you up and down, taking a step towards you which you mirrored by moving behind; you clenched your fingers into a fist as you had an idea of what that smirk meant, thinking in your mind that you were probably overreacting and that nothing would happen. Your back hit the cold wall, Ben still moving in your direction, his face inches away from yours and his arm moving to pin you up against the wall; you moved your face away from him to tell him you were uncomfortable with this through your body language — but his behaviour continued. 
“Maybe I want to have some fun with you, honey,” he whispered, sending shivers down your spine. 
While standing there, you were conflicted; you had heard the stories and shared the same hatred for the supe’s with too much power, but Ben seemed different. Granted, you didn’t know everything about him and weren’t around when he was at the peak of power, but you were attracted to him. How he looked at you, feeling his hot breath trail along your neck as you made you feel helpless under his touch. 
“Do you think that is a good idea?” you met his eyes when you asked. 
“If you want me to stop… Just say,” he whispered into your ear again. 
You didn’t want him to stop, it was a strange situation to be in, but you wanted to see where this would go; after all, Butcher and Hughie wouldn’t be back for ages, and this could be used as some fun for you and to get Soldier Boy on the team. 
“Thought so,” Ben then started to kiss your neck. 
You gasped under his lips touch, feeling his smirk now and again when he heard you whimper and felt your hand place on his bicep, showing that you loved what he was doing and that you didn’t want him to stop. It felt wrong after hearing the stories about him, but you couldn’t help the attraction you felt towards him and the sympathy built up from your conversations. You wanted to just forget about the past and melt into the current situation, enjoying every sensation and feeling that made you tingle with pleasure. 
“I knew you were a dirty girl,” you moaned a little as he bit your neck, leading to a gasp every time he bit down harder and harder to the point a mark was left on your neck. 
His fingers then wandered, grazing over the deep v-neck collar on your dress, sliding his fingers down your breast as he continued to leave hickies and get harder when hearing your moans and whimpers. 
“For someone that was frozen, you’re really good at this,” you muttered with your eyes shut and feeling the sensations Ben gave you. 
“Shut up and enjoy what I’m giving you,” you got wet with his words. 
His wandering hand then made its way down to where your dress ended, lifting it up to reveal your panties already submerged in a wet spot; this sent another shiver with anticipation running through your mind — trying to figure out what Ben wanted to do to you first. He moved his lips away from you and started to unbuckle his belt, leading his pants to drop to the ground and reveal his lower half. You looked down and saw his length, getting even wetter at the sight of it. 
“Like what you see, doll?” you nodded. 
Ben smirked at your compliance, continuing to leave hickies on the other side of your neck and positioning his cock in between your thighs, moving his hips with a back-and-forth motion and feeling your wet, clothed pussy on his member. Running his fingers through your hair and grabbing fistfuls, pulling it and making you wince now and again.
“I love how you’re such a little slut for me right now.”
You couldn’t get any words out with the pleasure you felt at that moment, the dominance and power Ben had over you, but while you were enjoying it, you wanted the dynamic to flip a little bit — have a taste of that dominance he gave you. 
“How about we change some things… I’m sure you will like it,” you offered as you pushed him away from you, gently putting your hands on his biceps again, seeing him beg for you with his cock in between your soft thighs. 
“Hm, guess I’ll allow it… What do you have in mind, sweetheart?” 
He moved away from you, wondering what was happening in your dirty little mind, trying to figure you out — failing in the multiple attempts of analysing how you looked at him. You stepped towards him, placing your hands on his shoulders and pushing him to the bed, your strength showing with the way the bedframe hit the wall and leaving a large crumbly dent in the wall. 
“Feisty… I like it,” you could tell Ben wanted more, liking how you were in control now. 
You started to take your dress off, slowly unclasping your bra and revealing your naked body by stripping your underwear down your legs, slowly moving on top of him to straddle and rub your wet centre against his hard cock. 
“Mmph, that feels good,” Ben started to shudder with this new feeling, a sensation he knew he would want more of. 
“Do you want to feel me?” you asked him, grinding on him even more as you awaited his answer. 
“Please, sweetheart, please.”
“Beg for it then.” 
You loved every minute of this, seeing him vulnerable but excited by what you were doing, the dynamic flipping and making him switch behaviour. 
“Oh, come on, sweetheart, let me have it… I’m starved for you.”
“More, baby.”
“Let me fuck you, please; I’m desperate to know how you feel… Come on, baby,” he was squirming while he begged.
You decided to let him have it, let him have some sort of dignity left as you hooved over and positioned your centre to let his cock inside of your wet hole. 
“Oh fuck,” Ben moaned. 
Finally, feeling your walls surround his cock. You smirked when seeing his smile, him closing his eyes to appreciate the moment; you started to bounce up and down on his dick and moan every time you went down for another stroke, your moans being harmonious with Bens and leading to a pool of pleasurable sounds bounce off the walls; it felt so good, and you could feel Ben want more. He put his hands on your hips, you pushing them away to drive him crazy. 
“Ah, ah, ah, don’t go touching.”
“Oh fuck, you’re so good at this,” he moaned again. 
He had many experiences before he was frozen with Countess and other women, but this was different. You were taking control, flipping the dynamic and letting him feel the pleasure while he was under your touch; different but still enjoyable to Ben. You moved your hands to either side of Ben’s head, your breasts lying on Ben’s chest as you continued to bounce and feel the joy fucking him was giving you. He was biting his lip, trying his best not the cum too fast, but this was getting futile the quicker you kept feeling each stroke; wanting to feel him release inside of you — a feeling you hadn’t felt in a long time. 
“Please let me cum; I’m dying over here… Please.”
You thought about it for a moment, giving a lick and nibble on Ben’s neck to leave him wriggling around in gratification. 
“Go ahead then,” smirking while talking. 
You continued to grind your hips up and down, only this time your hands were placed on Ben’s shoulders, shoving him down into the mattress; leaving bruise imprints on his skin. 
“Fuck,” Ben let out a loud and deep gasp. 
While feeling Ben’s warm release inside you, this was met with your mutual pleasure, trying to catch your breath as you processed everything that happened; your eyes still rolled to the back of your head as you felt every little bit of Ben’s cum warming inside of you, dripping out when you moved away and collapsed next to him. 
“That was amazing,” Ben said in between deep breaths, caressing your arm as he turned around to meet your face covered in a red dust of blush. 
“You can have more… If you join us.”
“How can I say no?”

Can you talk about MikoSeiga and why you like the ship ?
I think at least for me the appeal of Miko/Seiga lies in the plot of the game itself more than anything. As I already said at some point in the past it’s bizarre that a pairing which is in no small part based on character a declaring character b coming back to life is going to be a bigger deal than Jesus doing it is so niche. And that’s even without taking into account character a does it after waiting for nearly 1400 years for said resurrection (which she facilitated, and which involves character b implicitly transitioning on top of it all; also going by SoPM Seiga’s interest in people is often brief which makes waiting for Miko’s resurrection all the more unusual imo). If this happened in a mediocre live action tv show there’d be 10000 fics on ao3. More under the cut.
I can't deny that a major obstacle is that despite the interesting portrayal of the connection between Seiga and Miko in the Youmu route in TD no subsequent Touhou media does much with it. Things are further complicated by SoPM throwing in the reveal that Seiga basically doesn’t have much camaraderie going on with the other members of the TD cast; the fact Miko basically became a one for two deal with Byakuren doesn’t help either (will admit I think that has outstayed its welcome, I’m glad they appear separately from each other in recent Detective Satori and Lotus Eaters).  With that being said, I nonetheless think Seiga is still the most interesting option when it comes to Miko’s shipping prospects - and vice versa. Granted, Seiga’s only other real options are… Yoshika, who’s dead and barely a character (and also waste of a name; her stocks would be higher in my eyes if she was anything like the legendary version of her namesake, who according to Oe no Masafusa called himself the “greatest madman under heaven”, enjoyed alcohol and company of women, decided to become an immortal after cucking his examiner a day before his civil service exam, and feuded with Sugawara no Michizane) and I guess Kasen, who she interacted with like once for two pages... which is not much compared to other WaHH-based Kasen pairings. Yoshika arguably does have a backstory to explore but the more takes on it I’ve seen, and the more I learned about her namesake, the less the fanworks focused on that interested me; meanwhile I still feel the same about the aforementioned plot elements from TD.
In addition to what is directly said or implied in the game, I think imagining how Seiga and Miko met and what their interactions in the past were like is another major draw of this pairing. It doesn’t seem like this is a popular position either though - Seiga doesn’t appear much in fanworks focused on Miko’s past even though you’d expect her to hang around for a while - you don’t learn Daoist secrets in a day, in legends immortality preparations might take decades. Granted, Miko’s pursuit of immortality honestly feels glossed over in most fanworks about her in general, even though it does reflect an actual legend. Tragic! Speaking of legends, funnily enough if you dig deep enough you can even find direct precedent for adding a romantic component to the transfer of immortality knowledge itself, “Daoist adept falls in love with a female immortal” is basically a stock type of Six Dynasties/Tang romantic and/or erotic poetry. I like to think Seiga would read or even write these herself and that she sneaked some into whatever more standard Daoist literature she provided her with. As a joke, of course. Totally not a suggestion or anything. I think even just the fact it can be a purely romantic relationship is interesting in itself in the context of Miko's backstory, tbh. Sure, if she is prince Shotoku, she has 4 wives - but most if not all of these marriages would be political (and let's not look deeper into the family tree, too). Romantic love and marriage were not necessarily the same, as the cases of many famous literary characters and historical figures attest. Also, do any of the wives have immortality elixirs to offer? Yeah, thought so.
A final angle I think offers room for interesting is considering what impact Seiga might have had on Miko’s decision to take the form she did. Fwiw, Ge Hong recorded a legend about an immortal named Liu Zheng who after being mentored by Change’s could change own gender (and also magically ripen fruit and vegetables and hide armies as animals to let them surprise enemies, among other things; I sadly think in context the gender fluidity is just meant to be an outlandish wacky power, based on that). The precedent for Seiga discussing magic hrt with Miko is there. A potential issue with exploring the last option is the common weird fandom opinion that Seiga is uniquely immoral or whatever, which might bring unsavory implications, but it’s not like I’ve ever endorsed this view. Save for the grave robbing Seiga isn’t really very different from how actual immortals act in legends, and her actively facilitating Miko’s transition would go well with the symbolism of an immortal choosing to stay out of heaven (which typically served as a way to display opposition to prevailing attitudes of the time and a desire for freedom - heaven mirrored the earthly bureaucracy, and historical texts about seeking immortality often reflect disillusionment with the latter).

Words: 4,942 Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Female!Reader Reader pronouns: she/her Era: S10, The Reapers Warnings: language, violence, gore, angst A/N: This is Part 4 of a series! Find all the parts on my pinned post, the Master List Summary: Daryl helps Y/N and DJ get settled in Alexandria.
Part 3
You walked beside Daryl, a teary smile on your face as you looked ahead at Judith and RJ running and playing with Dog. “It seems impossible that this little girl is the same chubby baby I fed pureed carrots to,” you laughed. “And RJ... They’re beautiful, Daryl.”
“Yeah. They are.” The softness on Daryl’s face was threatening to melt you into a puddle. His eyes turned to DJ next, and that softness remained.
You met his blue eyes again and your lips were drawn down in a soft pout. Tears brimmed in your eyes. “I’m so sorry,” you said. “About Rick. And now Michonne’s gone off… Maggie told me.”
“Yeah,” Daryl drawled, ducking his head and fighting the tidal wave of anxiety and grief and hopelessness that always crested in his chest when he thought of his lost brother. “‘M sorry too. Mostly for them,” he said, nudging his head toward the kids again. “But it’s been hard on everybody…”
“Including you, I’m sure.” Tears burned in your eyes again and you did your best to blink them away. Rick and Michonne were family, and you had hoped to reunite with them again too as soon as you’d found Maggie. The news about much of your old family had been hard to take, especially after losing everyone else at your community so recently. But you knew how deep and unhealing that wound must be for Daryl, losing a true brother…
Daryl hummed a response but you let the topic drop for now.
Alexandria was certainly left worse for wear since the Whisperers had briefly occupied it with their horde. Daryl cast a sideways glance at you as if worried about your reaction to the destruction and mess you were now walking through.
“Ain���t usually like this… ya just arrived at the end of a full-on war,” he said.
Far from seeing concern or judgement on your face, Daryl noted that you seemed to be seeing it with eyes that picked out the potential. He felt another swell of warmth for you. “If it’s home for you, then it’ll be home for us too,” you said. “And I’ll be more than happy to help however I can with the rebuilding.”
Home. It was true that Alexandria was home, and he would die to defend it and the people in it, but there was another home that he’d lost a long time ago, and it was now walking beside him… Then, he suddenly remembered what Carol had said to him at the wall. “Please tell me you aren’t going to stick them in some random empty apartment or house.” His feet must have faltered because you turned and glanced over at him immediately.
“Everything okay?”
“Uhh—yeah… I just—” he chewed anxiously on his bottom lip for a moment, and you nearly smiled. It was the same nervous habit he’d always had. “I was thinkin’, if you and DJ wanted to… I mean, ya could stay at my place. I’ve got a spare bedroom—s’where Jude and RJ usually sleep when I’ve got ‘em, but that ain’t no big deal. I can make ‘em up bedrolls on the floor in my room if they’re stayin’ or—” he was rambling nervously, “—if ya ain’t comfortable with that, I mean, stayin’ at my place, we’ve got plenty of other apartments and houses. We could set ya up somewhere else—I just thought, with DJ, might be easier—and maybe would be, I dunno, would be—"
“Daryl—” You stopped him with a hand gentle on his arm. “Of course we’d love to stay with you, if you’re okay with the extra trouble.”
He gulped. The last fucking thing he wanted now was to be parted from you and DJ, even if it was just by half a block. “Ain’t no extra trouble,” he drawled quietly, slightly transfixed from the touch of your hand on his arm.
You laughed. “You say that now… but you may have forgotten over the last decade, I can be a handful,” you joked. “And DJ? He takes after his dad in some ways.”
Daryl let out an amused exhale and shook his head. “Poor kid,” he joked, but you shot him a look.
“Lucky kid,” you corrected him. God, he’d missed that. You had always been so affirming to him. You had unwavering confidence in him and you told him and showed him every damn day. His internal monologue was often so dark, especially lately with things all seeming to go wrong. But you had always shown a light on him, always told him so earnestly that he was good and loved even when he didn’t believe it or didn’t feel he deserved it himself. He felt a swell of gratitude and emotion and fought against what felt like a huge bubble in his chest that was getting ready to burst. Your voice interrupted him.
“So. Which way is home?” You were looking at him expectantly.
“Uhh, this way,” he murmured, tilting his head toward the next street over. He let out a loud whistle and Dog turned and came rushing back. “Hey—Jude, RJ. Let’s go! We’re gonna help Y/N and DJ get settled, alright?”
“Uncle Daryl?” RJ said when he had trotted over, looking up with shining brown eyes.
“Yeah, bud?”
“I’m hungry,” he said.
Daryl ruffled a hand through his own hair a little anxiously. “Yeah… yeah, we’ll have to see ‘bout that in a bit. Let’s head home first and then I’ll figure that out, okay?”
You and Daryl exchanged a knowing glance. Keeping growing kids nourished was a constant worry.
“Mom?” DJ asked you softly. You looked down at him with a questioning look. He dug into his small bag and pulled out an apple. It was slightly bruised on one side, but shone bright red in the sun and seemed just as crisp as when you’d picked it for him a few days back. “Can I?” he asked. Your heart swelled and you nodded as you ran your fingers down one of the wavy strands of his brown hair.
“Of course. That’s a very kind thing to do,” you said proudly.
DJ trotted a few paces to catch up to RJ and then nudged him gently with his elbow, holding out the apple to him. RJ took it excitedly and thanked him with a broad smile. He took a huge bite and then offered it to Judith, who also happily shared it. Pretty soon the three of them were sharing it like old pals.
Daryl was smiling as he watched the exchanged. “That’s some kid ya’ve got,” he said softly.
“You mean that we’ve got,” you corrected him. “He’s your son, Daryl.”
Daryl gulped and looked down at you, his eyes still a little wide with disbelief. We. You’d said we. He wanted so desperately to read into that and allow his mind to run on with all his foolish hopes… He nudged his nose up in a shy nod and chewed on his bottom lip a moment. A son. He had a son.
The kids ran ahead, chasing after Dog and throwing a stick for him time and time again, until finally Daryl cleared his throat and nodded toward the nearest condo on the end of a small row. “This is me,” he said. He rubbed a hand over the back of his neck nervously. “Yer place now too, if ya think it’ll work okay. And ya don’t mind a bit’a dog hair.” It was as if he needed to give you every opportunity to change your mind.
“DJ and I have been sleeping wherever I could find the smallest bit of shelter or safety for quite a while now. We moved every day. This is going to be a huge change for the better. Thank you.” You studied his expression again. “And I don’t mind the dog hair,” you laughed. Dog seemed to have heard you because he came and slipped through the space between your legs, stopping and leaning to one side, rubbing his body against your leg, looking up at you. You laughed and bent to give him neck scratches and he was soon licking your face.
“He likes ya,” Daryl said. There was a smile in his voice. He took that moment and allowed himself to take in the way the afternoon light was illuminating the hues in your eyes as you glanced back up at him and the shine in your hair. He felt like he’d been transported to some alternate dimension—he was so used to struggling to live every day without you and suddenly… here you were. Dog finally darted to the garage door, prancing anxiously on his front paws, and Daryl collected himself enough to go over and push it up. RJ and Judith raced in after Dog, but DJ waited back.
Your eyes went immediately to the bike parked there. “Oh my God,” you said, grinning. The light in your eyes now seemed to be sparking on his behalf as you strode over to it. You shot him a brilliant look and Daryl’s heart skipped a beat and then sped up. “This is amazing. Did you build this?” you asked, touching it here and there.
Daryl brushed a hand back through his hair and shrugged. “Yeah. Aaron, you’ll meet Aaron, he had been collectin’ parts for years before he brought our group in. He didn’t really know what to do with them. First damn thing I did after I was sure Alexandria was gonna be real, safe, was put ‘em to good use.”
DJ was looking at the bike with eager interest and excitement. “You built it? From scrap?” he asked again.
Daryl nudged his nose up in a nod. “Yep.”
“Can I have a ride?” he asked excitedly.
Daryl smiled. “Yeah. ‘Course. Uhh—as long as that’s okay with yer mom,” Daryl said, glancing your direction, resting a hand on the handlebar.
“Nobody safer to ride with,” you said, nodding. “As long as you wear a helmet, DJ. But not today. Maybe tomorrow, if the weather is good, alright?” DJ seemed satisfied with that and ran ahead into the condo after Judith and RJ. You glanced over at Daryl again and his eyes were already on you. He was wringing his hands a little anxiously. “Well, when do I get a ride from you again? It’s been a while. Maybe tonight?” Daryl’s mouth dropped slightly open and you laughed nervously when you realized the obvious innuendo. You felt your cheeks flushing. “The bike!” you said in a hurry. “I meant on—” you pressed a hand up to your face and ducked his gaze. Daryl was gulping nervously. “Jesus—I meant on the—” You sighed and laughed again, quite sure that your face was still bright red.
Daryl rubbed a hand over the back of his neck awkwardly, but he was also feeling a heat in his chest like you’d just struck flint and steel to tinder and he too let out a small, awkward laugh. Not to mention that intimate scenes he held dearly deep in his mind were suddenly rushing into the forefront like they’d been called. He could still feel the shape of your hip under his hand like it was just yesterday, or the softness of you as his fingertips dimpled into your skin… He could see the water cascading down your body as he pressed you back against the wall of the shower. He could hear your hurried breathing, the breathy way you used to say his name… The noises of pleasure he’d been able to pull from you. When he couldn’t sleep or when things were just too dark, he’d let his mind wander over those memories, but he had to limit himself. Otherwise, he would have run the risk of living entirely there in that daydream, forgetting the now, and then how would he have kept going, knowing it may be lost forever? And then suddenly you were made real in front of him again. Here. You were right here. Shit. Get it together, man. He refocused his attention on the expectant look on your face. “Uhh—lemme show ya inside,” he drawled.
You bit your bottom lip and followed him in. The kids were all piled on the couch, Dog in front of them, and your heart lifted to see DJ interacting with Jude and RJ so easily. There must have been a smile on your face because Daryl was looking at you with the corners of his eyes crinkled in one too.
“It’s been a long time since he’s been able to be around any other kids, before Hershel, I mean,” you said. The smile faded again and Daryl thought you looked suddenly veiled in sadness briefly.
“C’mon,” he said, tilting his head toward the small hallway. “Bathroom in there,” he said, passing the small room on the right. “Here’s the spare room,” he said. Out of habit he tried to flick on the light and then remembered that the Whisperers had trashed the solar panels and he flicked it back off. “Uhh… sorry. No power back up yet.”
“Haven’t had power in years,” you said. “Won’t even miss it.”
Daryl ruffled his fingers back through his hair again. “We’ll get it back up,” he said with certainty. “‘Til then I got plenty of candles and lanterns and stuff. Remind me before it gets dark. My room is just—” he pointed down the hall to the next door, “right there.”
You leaned on the doorframe next to him and looked in at the little room. A bed. A real bed. “Thanks for this.”
He ducked his head and nodded, shifting nervously beside you. “Yeah. S’nothin’. Dun need to thank me.”
There was a loud squeal from one of the kids and you both moved back to the main room. Dog had jumped on the couch with the three of them and was now laying fully across their laps. You hadn’t seen such a grin on DJ’s face in what felt like a lifetime. You glanced around the room, taking in the space and what Daryl had done to make it his. There were various antlers and pelts around, and the coffee table had a few old books on it, the top one about piracy. “Hmm,” you hummed.
“What?” he asked.
“Nice place you have here. It’s very Daryl,” you said, a small smile curving your lips. “It suits you. Though maybe a cabin in the woods would still suit you better.”
Daryl’s stomach suddenly clenched. A cabin in the woods. Fuck. He had to tell you. He had to figure out how the fuck to tell you…
“What do you think?” you asked him, and Daryl suddenly realized you must have been talking to him.
“Sorry, what?”
“Think the kids would be okay here on their own for a while so we can go try and find some food for everyone?”
He nodded quickly. “Yeah. Yeah, and we can ask Rosita and Gabe to look in on ‘em.”
Your face brightened. “Please, let’s go see Rosita.”
Daryl nodded. “Yeah, course. And—Gabriel ain’t the same anymore,” Daryl said. “He’s turned out to be real good to have around.”
You shook your head and let out a laugh of disbelief. “You remember what I said when he finally got down off that rock?”
Daryl snorted out a laugh and nodded. “Yeah. Ya asked if we could put him back.” You laughed again more earnestly.
“And—him and Rosita? Really? I mean, Maggie told me but it’s still hard to wrap my brain around…”
Daryl laughed again, fiddling anxiously with a rock on the side table. “I think that took all of us by surprise at first,” Daryl drawled. “But—” he shrugged. “They do seem to be doin’ good together. C’mon. Let’s get goin’ while we still got daylight.” He stepped farther into the room and managed to grab the kids’ attention. “Hey—Jude. Yer the oldest, so yer in charge, alrigh’? We’re just gonna go see about some dinner, okay? If we ain’t back when it’s startin’ to get dark, ya go to Aunt Rosita’s or find Uncle Jerry and Aunt Nabila at their place, okay? And keep away from that part of the wall tha’s down. I mean it. Ya can show DJ around, but I don’t want ya over there.”
Jude nodded and agreed. “Okay.”
“Dog, get down,” Daryl said, and the Malinois jumped back onto the rug. Daryl hugged Jude and ruffled RJ’s hair. Then he held a fist out to DJ, who eagerly bumped it with his own and grinned. Daryl knelt down so he was at their eye level again. “We’ll be back just as soon as we can, alrigh’? Ya’ll be good and stay safe. Jude, ya got yer sword? Good. You and DJ, watch out for RJ.”
Your heart felt like it grew three sizes just watching him reassuring the kids and making sure that everyone was alright for you both to leave. “We’ll try not to be too long,” you said, and you went and grabbed each of them in a hug, leaving a kiss on the top of DJ’s head too. “Keep your bow with you,” you told him. “Good. See you soon, hopefully with some dinner.”
The reunion with Rosita was emotional, and you cooed over baby Coco with her and lamented the loss of Siddiq when she told you what had happened in brief. By the time you were heading back to Daryl’s to grab his bike and head out, you agreed that Gabriel was an entirely different person than he had been when you’d known him. “Gotta admit… the eye and still wearing the stuffy outfit—it’s definitely a look,” you said, walking back beside Daryl.
He let out a small laugh and glanced over at you. “Like I said, he ain’t the same.” He strapped his crossbow onto the bike and slung his leg over, standing up so you could slip on behind him. Nervous flutters were already rising before you even climbed on, and when your hands finally settled lightly on his sides, he felt like his body temp rose a hundred degrees. He did his best not to stiffen with nerves and settled down on the seat. “Ain’t sure what we’ll find out there,” he said. “Those assholes brought a horde through ‘round here. Scared off most of the game.”
Your arms looped around him more fully and he gulped again. “Fish probably didn’t run away. Neither did the plants and fungi. We’ll find something,” you said ardently. “We always find something.”
Daryl started his bike and, for a brief moment, thought he felt your cheek press to the back of his shoulder. “Ya ready?”
“Hell yeah!” you yelled over the engine, and he could hear the smile in your voice.
_ _ _ _ _ _
“Having any luck?” you asked Daryl as you approached from out of the woods nearby again, a canvas bag that now seemed rather full clutched in your hand.
“Mhm… Carp. Gonna taste like mud,” he said, nodding to the huge fish lying on the grass beside him. “But they’re definitely better than nothin’. You?”
“Yeah. Found a good haul of mushrooms—chantarelles, oyster mushrooms, chicken of the woods. And a bunch of edible plants. Ramps?” you held up a clump of something from your bag.
“Uhhh—am I s’posed to know what the hell yer talkin’ about?”
You laughed heartily and Daryl’s heart skipped a beat, as it seemed to do damn near every time you did anything. “Ramps!” you said again. “They’re a wild onion. Taste kind of like a cross between garlic and scallions.”
“Hmm,” Daryl nod, turning his attention back to the river and shooting an arrow into the now writhing form of a dark fish. “Learn somethin’ new ev’ry day. I think I always just called them wild onions. No need to be fancy about it,” he teased you, grabbing his arrow and the impaled fish with it.
You gave him a look and then turned your eyes back to the pile of large fish on the bank. “I think we have enough here for quite a bit soup. We’ll be able to feed some hungry kids tonight.”
Daryl retrieved his arrow and grabbed a bag for the fish from his pack. “Tha’s what it’s all about,” he said.
You spun around as you heard a twig snap somewhere behind you in the trees. Daryl stood and grabbed his bow again, immediately on edge, and paced several steps forward in the soft grass until he was slightly in front of you. It was a protective instinct he’d always had… even now it came back like old muscle memory.
The snap of the dry wood was soon followed by a growing growl sound and the two of you both breathed sighs of relief. “Goddamn walker. Tha’s all,” he drawled.
“Yeah,” you agreed, though the worry didn’t leave your face completely. Daryl was again sharply aware that you’d been through some very serious shit very recently, shit he didn’t yet know the full extent of. “We should get back. It’s going to start getting dark soon.”
“Yeah. I was just thinkin’ the same thing.” Daryl unsheathed his knife and advanced on the scrawny and emaciated looking rotter ambling toward the two of you. He lunged with a perfectly placed strike and sunk his blade into its head. It crumpled to the leaf litter and laid still.
The two of you strode back toward his bike, side by side, and you glanced over at him when you felt his eyes on you. “Hmm?” you prompted him, adjusting your hold on the foraging bag stuffed full of ingredients over your shoulder.
He shrugged and looked back down toward where he was placing his boots. “Will ya tell me—uhh… ‘bout when he was born? I mean—where were ya and—guess I just wanna know ‘bout it all,” he said.
Your expression was soft as you looked back at him and Daryl relaxed some. “Yeah, of course. Daryl, you can ask me anything you want to about DJ. Really about anything. Ask me anything about anything,” you laughed. “I’ll do my best to answer. Oh—and remind me to show you the book when the kids are in bed tonight.”
“The book?”
You nodded. “Yeah. The book.”
He nodded, intrigued. “Alrigh’.”
You sighed, looking ahead and taking in the way the light was filtering through the leaves still clinging to the craggy oak branches. “When DJ was born, I was still in Georgia. You remember how I said people just were finding me or I was finding them?” Daryl nodded. “I had been trying to scavenge supplies from this huge department store, get ready for the baby and find some more vitamins and stuff. I thought there was a good chance there were supplies left inside because the parking area had been some kind of military checkpoint or something and the whole thing had these huge fences chain link fences topped with razor wire. I hadn’t seen any walkers in there… I found some fence cutters and made a way inside. Pried a door open and got into the building. I was right. There were supplies in there,” you laughed dryly. “But the reason I hadn’t seen any walkers was because there were people living inside.”
Daryl’s brow furrowed heavily.
“I was lucky—very lucky. They turned out to be good people, just a small group of survivors. A found family. They saw, immediately of course, that I was pregnant and one of them happened to be a midwife. They were all with me when I went into labor. We had left the store by then. There were getting to be too many dead in the suburbs and we’d headed away from the populated areas. We took a Jeep and a truck full of supplies and found this farmhouse and set up there for the winter. It reminded a little of Hershel’s farm. We had a decent stock of supplies and I had everything I needed for the baby but I was still terrified of course… especially after what happened to Lori. But everything went smoothly and after an excruciating 14 hours of labor, I delivered a healthy baby boy and named him Daryl as soon as I saw him.” Tears brimmed in your eyes as you looked over at him again. Your voice was soft and breathy when you spoke again and you’d had to fight to get the words out. “I wish you were there,” you said. “I wished that more than anything at the time and still. He was just this tiny little thing, all wiry arms and legs.” You sniffled and tried to pull yourself back together. “For a birth in the apocalypse, I was very lucky,” you said with a dry laugh.
You walked in silence for a while, each of you sinking into your own thoughts, but Daryl finally broke it again. “Those people—were any of ‘em still with ya when—were any of them with ya when yer community was attacked?”
The weight of it settled back over you and you nodded. “Yeah. Two of them were.” The only sound was the soft noise of the damp earth and leaf litter beneath your boots.
“‘M sorry,” Daryl drawled. “We’ve all lost a lotta people over the years, but I ain’t never lost everybody all at once like ya have. Not really. I mean, it felt that way when the prison fell, but I knew there were more of us out there. I knew you were out there, somehow.”
The muscle in your jaw tensed and you nodded, looking up again at the last bit of afternoon light waning against the tops of the trees. In a moment, the tension on your face seemed to pass and you glanced back over at him. “We’ve all lost people. Who’s to say what’s better or worse?”
On the ride back to Alexandria, Daryl swore you held on even more tightly to him than you had on the way out, and he knew he wasn’t imagining that you were leaning into him.
_ _ _ _ _ _
The fish and foraged ingredients had made a huge pot of soup, enough to feed all the kids in Alexandria and a good many adults too. Everyone’s mood was jovial with a full stomach as you sat around the little table with Daryl and the kids. It wasn’t lost on you that DJ and Daryl ate exactly the same; ravenously, unabashedly, and frequently using their sleeves as napkins. It had you smiling through most of the meal. Daryl had caught you staring at him once.
“What?” he prompted you, hurriedly wiping a sleeve across his mouth as if he thought he had food stuck there.
You smiled and shook your head. “Nothing.”
You’d tried to convince Carol to come for dinner but she’d insisted she didn’t want to intrude on your first night back. She gladly accepted some of the soup though, and you’d made her promise to come find you the next day. Now, you and Daryl were telling Judith, RJ, and DJ old stories and regularly cracking them up into fits of giggles. Dog was happily chewing a scavenged deer bone on the rug.
“Hey, what ‘bout that time,” Daryl had to pause and let out a gruff laugh, pointing at you. “‘Member, ya flipped the bird at that squatter? And then—”
“Alright!” you said standing up hurriedly, and cutting him off on purpose. “I think they can hear the rest of that story when they’re all older! Kids, help me clear the table please,” you said, grabbing Daryl’s plate and shooting him a look. His blue eyes were smiling and they followed you all the way into the kitchen as he leaned back in his chair.
Judith and RJ wanted to stay the night since they hadn’t seen their Uncle Daryl in so long (and you were definitely an added bonus) so you helped him set up bed rolls for them on the floor in his room before tucking DJ in in your own bed down the hall. You stroked his hair away from his face and kissed his forehead.
“Mom,” he started, yawning and sinking more deeply into his pillow.
“Mhm?”
“I think I really like this place. And… it’s nice to be around other kids again. This feels like a family,” he said and you nodded in agreement, smiling serenely.
“It does, doesn’t it?”
“So… can we stay?” he asked.
“What do I always say?”
“‘We can stay as long as we can stay’,” he recited.
“Right. But, if it makes you feel better, I think and I hope that will be a long time.”

Pairing: Matt Sturniolo X Female Reader♥️
Synopsis: Somethings wrong with Matt, and it’s scaring Y/N. When she figures out what’s wrong with him.Things take place that alter her life forever🩸
Warnings⚠️: THIS IS SMUTTTT. Vampire Matt, and uhhh some other vampire people can’t spoil anything though🖤. Just some vampire fucking, but nothing crazy🦇
Song for the imagine: Change(In the House of Flies)-Deftones
⚠️This is an 18+ story, so minors do not interact, or do??⚠️
Now you feel so alive
I’ve watched you change
It’s like you never had wings
Something was off with Matt lately he was hanging around with a sketchy crowd, and suddenly he wasn’t himself anymore. Chris and Nick had hung out with this crew too, but they didn’t act how Matt was acting.
He was honestly frightening. All I remember was Chris and Nick had gone away with these guys, and came back, and then Matt went away with them, but when he came back it just wasn't really right.
I would hang out with them, but then they would go through these weird phases of not really talking to me, or being seen. I tried to ignore it because maybe I was trying to make myself believe something was there when it truly wasn’t.
When I didn’t see them they were with those weird guys they were friends with. I honestly thought they were either doing or selling drugs, or maybe both. Whatever it was, I chose to stay out of the way of their life decisions; it wasn't really my business.
I only started to get truly concerned when Matt’s appearance changed. I mean all their appearances changed, but Matt….his was the most noticeable. Everyone noticed it, but never said anything to him about it….they were afraid?
He went from having soft cheeks, and warm blue eyes and heart warming smile to pale, with sunken cheekbones and icy sunken in dead eyes….the dead eyes scared me the most. They were so frightening often times I couldn’t look at him for too long
His personality changed as well; he went from bubbly and bright and talkative to quiet, mean and mysterious. The surrounding girls in our lives found it hot and mysterious. I found it out right, strange and weird….this wasn’t Matt.
I was really scared he was messing around with drugs or something because he completely changed, and it wasn’t for the best.
I hadn’t seen the triplets in a week as they ghosted me and went MIA to go be with those guys. I really wished they’d just stop honestly. I didn’t want to lose my friends over some weird people
I was currently sleeping, and I was having vivid dreams of Matt screaming and pleading for help, but I couldn’t see him in my dreams everything was just black
Suddenly Matt’s face appeared in my dreams with red eyes and a scary grin “WAKE UP” he yelled, and suddenly I jumped out of my sleep
“What the fuck” I said rubbing my eyes, and turning my lamp on that’s on my nightstand
As my eyes were adjusting to the light I looked down at my clock 3AM….chilling, unholy hour. I felt a presence in my room, but I chose to shake it off
“I know you feel me” I heard someone say, and my head snapped in the direction of the person. It was Matt sitting at my window sill
“Matt? How’d you get in here?” I asked rubbing my eyes again to make sure I was awake
“You should really lock your windows” he said deeply
“Matt, I'm on the second floor, how’d you get up here?” I asked getting frightened
“I told you, you should lock the windows” he said again standing up from the window sill
“You’re scaring me okay, I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but you’re not the same person I used to know” I said sitting up fully
“It took me a while to figure out what I am too” he said still sitting in the darkness, only the moonlight casting light against him
“What do you mean what you are?” I asked him
“You don’t know?” He asked tilting his head
“Whatever sick joke this is please stop it” I said getting annoyed
“This isn’t a joke…” he said to me
“Matt I’m scared, and if you say one more creepy thing I’m running out the door” I said to him
“Come on don’t be like that, I just want to talk to you” he said in a whisper
“Fuck this” I said and got up running to my door, but before I could open it Matt just appears behind me, and shuts the door
“Matt let me out” I said with my back still to him
“I can’t let that happen” he said sending chills down my spine
“I’ll hurt you” I said
“You can not hurt me” he said chuckling
I turned around to answer him, and when I did I wish I hadn’t. His eyes were no longer blue, but pitch black
“MATT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU” I said sinking under his arms and running back to my bed
“How do you not know?” He said looking over at me
“Because this is the real world, and I’m so fucking scared right now” I said shaking
“I’m not going to hurt you….” He said walking over to me
“You’ve been acting weird lately, you look different, you disappear and now your eyes are black” I said shaking my head at him
“Exactly…don’t you know what I am?” He said smirking at me
“This isn’t real” I said looking at him
“It is real, say it you know what I am” he said to me
“You’re not a vampire” I said scoffing at him
“I am….and it’s been two weeks since I’ve lasted tasted blood, and yours smells sweet” he said licking his lips
“This is bullshit this is not real” I said pinching myself to try and snap out of it
“We are vampires, and we want you to join us” he said sticking his hand out
“Join who?” I asked him
“Chris, Nick and I….it would be a shame if you didn’t” he said
“You’re not a fucking vampire, vampires are myths” I said pushing his hand away
“Not true” he said shaking his head
“Show me then” I said
He came over and sat next to me looking at me with his dark eyes, opening his mouth and letting his fangs come out
My eyes widened and my mouth got dry
“Real enough for you baby?” He asks tilting his head
“I….I don’t know how to feel” I said looking away
“You feel scared and….aroused?” He said raising his brow at me
“Get out of my head” I said trying to push the feeling away
“It’s hard your thoughts are screaming at me” he said
“What do you want from me?” I asked
“I want to turn you, and maybe fuck you too” he said brushing my hair out of my face
“I don’t know Matt” I said shaking my head
“Oh come on, you can always be with Chris and Nick and I, and you’ll be immortal…sounds stupid but I promise you’ll love it” he said
“And if I say no?” I asked
“I can hold out, but not for much longer” he said looking over my body
“You really want me to fuck you” he blurted out
“GET OUT OF MY HEAD” I said rolling my eyes at him
“I can’t….its literally screaming at me” he said
He pushed my hair over my shoulders, and leaned in kissing my neck
“Come on” he said ghosting his fangs over my neck
“Oh god” I sighed out
“No god here, just me” he said licking my neck
“OK ALRIGHT!” I said snapping out of it
“I’ll let you turn me, but we should fuck first” I said looking at him
“I like the way you think” he said looking at me darkly
He pulled me in by my neck immediately smashing our lips together in a heated make out session, teeth clashing and tongues fighting for dominance
Matt stood up removing his shirt and unbuckling his belt before coming back down and crashing his lips to mine
I had pulled away to remove my shirt, and scooting back onto my bed laying there in just my underwear
“Mmm so beautiful” he moaned out licking his lips as his eyes got darker
He slid his jeans off and came over to me on the bed crashing our lips together once again before kissing down my neck and to the valley of my breasts, allowing his fangs to skim over my skin
“Fuck Matt” I moaned out
“I know baby” he said against my skin causing me to squirm
He licked up the valley of my breasts till he got to my right breast taking the nipple into his mouth, and swirling his tongue around it
“Matt” I moaned out in a whisper
He went over to my left breast and did the same while rubbing his hands up my sides
He slowly started to kiss my my stomach down to my underwear before laying a kiss to my clothed pussy
“Fuck” I moaned out pulling his hair
This caused him to look up at me “ow” he said as his fangs descended
“Sorry baby” I said easing up on the pulling
“Be careful causing me pain…my fangs naturally come out that way” he said licking over his fangs with his tongue
“My bad” I said biting my lip
He removed my underwear, and grazed the inside of my thighs with his fangs
“So sweet” he said licking my thighs
“Matt please I need you” I said squirming beneath him
He leaned down immediately attaching his mouth to my cunt, licking and sucking at my clit
“shitttt” I moaned out bucking my hips forward
He pulled back allowing his fangs to graze over my cunt
“Matt….” I said getting scared
“Don’t worry baby I would never hurt you” he said looking up at me
He came back up to make out with me
“I need you now” he said pulling away
“Fuck me matt, please” I mewled out
He slid his boxers off, sliding his hand against my cunt to use my arousal as he jerked himself off
“So good to me” he said moaning and throwing his head back
He slowly brought his dick to my entrance sliding in slowly
“Fuckkk” we both moaned out at the sensation
Matt allowed me to adjust to his size before thrusting in out of me. Not too fast and not too slow
“Shit you feel so good” he panted into my ear
“Fuck baby” I said gripping onto his back scratching down
“Mmmm” he said allowing his fangs to come out from the pain
He kept pounding into me, all that could be heard was our heavy breathing and our skin smacking
I started to clench down on him feeling all too good
“Keep doing that baby I’m going to cum” he said as he thrusted into me harder
“Mmm Matt” I moaned out biting my lip slightly drawing blood
Matt’s head perked up, and his eyes got really dark, immediately licking my bottom lip
“Don’t tease me” he said moaning and breathing in through his nose
“I didn’t mean to” I said looking at him
Matt started to thrust into me harder, and he snaked his right hand down to my clit rubbing as he thrusted faster
“Shit I’m going to cum, keep doing that” I said bucking my hips again
He kept thrusting as he rubbed my clit harder and faster
“Shit shit shit” I moaned out letting my jaw fall slack
“Come on baby cum for me” he said letting his jaw fall too as he thrusted hard
“I’m cumming fuckkkk” I moaned out clenching down on Matt dick as I came. My back coming off the bed as my legs began to shake. Holding eye contact with Matt as my mouth fell slack, and I came
He helped me ride out my high before pulling out and stroking his own dick
“I’m gonna cum” he said stroking his dick faster
“Cum for me Matt” I said to him
And within two more strokes he came all over my lower stomach. Moaning my name, and holding eye contact as his eyes grew even darker
We both came down from our highs, and Matt cleaned me off. And then we got dressed. He laid down next to me
“I’m ready Matt” I said looking over at him
“You sure?” He asked looking at me
“Yes Matt I’m sure” I said to him giving him a smile
“I’m going to give you my blood first, and then I’m going to bite you. When I suck your blood you will start to die, but my blood will take over, and turn you. It won’t feel good, but slowly you’ll start to turn within a few hours” he said
“Whatever you have to do, do it” I said to him
He nodded his head, and sliced his two fingers with his fangs, bringing his fingers to my mouth allowing the blood to fall to my lips, and on my tongue
He then sunk his head down to my neck, and bit me
“OW” I kind of yelled out
Matt kept drinking my blood, and my vision was getting blurry as I felt myself slipping away. It all went dark, and then suddenly I woke up
“WHAT HAPPENED” I said shooting up
“You died, and then came back and then fell asleep” Matt said looking at me. His blue eyes coming back
“What time is it?” I asked him
“It’s 10am” he said smiling at me
“I slept for that long” I said shocked
“Well you were dead for a good portion of it” he said laughing
“I don’t want to hear that” I said and then suddenly grabbing my head
“FUCK” I yelled out
“This is the fun part, I’ll sit back and watch you” he said leaning against my wall
My head started to hurt so bad, and I felt sick. My vision going in and out as I saw all my memories flash through my mind
“Oh GOD” I yelled out gripping my head
I jumped out of the bed
“MAKE IT STOP” I said falling to my knees
“It’s almost over” Matt said
Suddenly I felt my fangs coming in, and my eyes twitching. I got up and ran to my bathroom looking at myself in the mirror. My fangs were coming down, and my eyes were black as I was changing
Suddenly it all stopped, and my fangs went away my eyes turned yellow, and suddenly back to my natural eye color
I walked out of the bathroom trying to catch my breath
“How do you feel?” He asked
“Hungry” I said with a blank stare
“We have some stuff to take care of, let’s get ready” he said smirking at me
The End
Aiii bitches how do we feel about vampire Matt. Personally I think it’s hot, but I got my own issues LMFOAOAOA. Hope yall enjoyed this 🖤🖤

It struck you as only a little odd that for whatever reason, the seating arrangement in the private booths of Rindou’s club changed.
Usually, on nights like these, you were sat between Ran and Rindou while they fucked around with their boyfriends, in case the either couple decides to bother you for a bit, but now, you were seated at the end, Inui on one side and an empty spot on the other.
Sanzu briefly mentioned someone else will be joining you, aggressively typing on his phone, and you found yourself just a tad curious, usually these nights out always had the same cast, Inui as the only addition.
The man and you rarely ever spoke, both being of a more silent variety, and you assumed there was some sort of mutual agreement to let each other be.
Unbeknownst to you, Inui just thought you were a bitch.
“Jesus Christ, Haruchiyo, where’s the goddamn fire?” A new voice huffed, catching your attention as you turned to glance at the newcomer.
Under the layers of foundation Kokonoi forcefully put on your face, you could feel your cheeks heating up, just a little.
She was wearing a dress with a screen in the middle, perfectly off her trim waist and toned stomach, in a pretty, baby pink colour, the fabric flowing and fluttering gracefully around her legs.
You made eye contact for a second, and her eyes widened, looking away from you as visible blush spread across her cheeks.
The resemblance to Sanzu was borderline jarring.
“Fucking finally! Y/n, I though you’d enjoy some female company, I think you’re the only one who hasn’t met her yet, that is my little sister.”
“Senju, pleased to meet you!” Shooting you a nervous, shy smile, she sat down next to you, as it was the only available seat, taking your outstretched hand into hers.
Your eyes bore into hers, your interest shown only with the slightest upturn of the corner of your lip.
“Y/n, hello.”
Her hands were warm against your own cold ones, and for a second you mourned the loss of heat, but the small, cramped booth ensured that her hip pressed into yours, legs touching.
They guys carried on with their conversation as usual, but you caught the smug look Kokonoi gave you.
She was undeniably beautiful, and you couldn’t help stealing glances at her as she started talking with Kakucho and Ran, her wide smile showing off perfect teeth, the flutter of her eyelashes kissing the apples as she laughed at some stupid joke Ran made.
Pulling on the collar of your suit, you downed your drink, pouring another one, already feeling as if this will be a long night.
You lit up a cigarette to soothe the oncoming, undeniable flustering panic you felt coming on.
There was a reason you surrounded yourself with mostly men, and that reason was that girls made you a stuttering, stumbling mess.
She looked at you in surprise, her nose wrinkling slightly as she glanced down at your fingers and at the cigarette.
“I’m sorry, do you not smoke? Does the smoke bother you?” You sounded way colder than intended, but you hoped she could read out your concern from the tilt of your head.
She softly smiled, shaking her head.
“It’s okay, and I don’t, no! Would be kinda hypocritical of me,” She laughed, the melodious sound filling your eardrums and sending your heart racing, “I’m a personal trainer.”
Ah.
Well that explained a lot.
“It’s hypocritical of me too then.” Shrugging, you took a long drag, hoping the buzz of the alchol and the lack of oxygen will calm down the frantic beat of your heart, “I’m a doctor.”
“That’s cool! What kind?”
“A forensic pathologist.”
“God damn! I could never, corpses freak me out.”
You nodded, a small smile tugging at your lips at her cute, pouty expression.
“They’re okay, mostly. Great if you enjoy some quiet. Sometimes they let out little groans and gasps though, but that’s mostly just gasses escaping.”
“That is fucking horrifying.”
You smirked, glancing around the table as you leaned in closer to her face, as if to tell a secret.
The hair at the back of her neck stood up as she felt your warm breath brush against her ear.
“Once, Mikey went down there to find me while I had a new cadaver in. Screamed so hard and loud that Sanzu sprinted to the lab, katana ready and all.”
She laughed, glancing between her brother and Manjiro.
“Yeah, sounds like some sort of shit they’d do.”
“It does, doesn’t it?”

Tumblr media
Flying Dutchman: ghost ship destined to never come back but sail the sea unseen, alone.
«Here you are. Be careful, it’s hot!» «Oh, yes! Thank you!» «Where’s mine?» «Don’t be impatient! I only have two hands, give me a second!» «Why did you give it to him first?» «Stop complaining or it won’t come out good!» «Well, y/n, I doubt your hot chocolate could taste any less than excellent.»
At that compliment, you turned over to the Monegasque driver sat at the table and smiled. «Thanks, Charles.» «So? Is it ready?» Max peeked over your shoulder to catch a glimpse of the small pot containing the precious brown liquid, but you immediately shook him away. «No, and if you ask me one more time, I’m drinking it myself!» Defeated, Max fell back down on his chair, his head resting on his palm, annoyingly watching Charles blow into the mug and enjoy the drink. You definitely had a bias. Despite the thought, his eyes were automatically drawn by your figure and lingered on it: he couldn’t restrain himself from looking at your tied hair and the few strands framing your face, your arms confident in each movement and motherly at the same time. Max loved how happy you would be whenever you had the chance to put a mug of your hot chocolate in front of someone, waiting for feedback; you would grin so sweetly and a soft blush would cast over your cheeks, in the most delighted and bright expression he’s ever seen on your face. Max would secretly watch you cooking, enchanted, smiling to himself, each time as if it were the last you would ever offer him a cup. 
As he drifted his gaze, Max caught Charles spying on him with the mug still in his hands and a slightly raised brow, as to display a little bit of confusion and curiosity at the same time.  Before he could react to the Monegasque glance, you quickly motioned towards the table with the saucepan. «And this is for you, you grumpy.» you said, pouring the sweet liquid into an orange mug. «It’d better taste like a race win!» Max joked, finally content to have his drink. You rolled your eyes at him and ignored the comment, placing the dirty pan into the sink.  You then realized the kitchen counter was too messy to your liking; willing to clean it, you searched for a bin, with no results. «Max, do you know where the trash can is?» you asked him. «I think it’s outside.» he said, without making eye contact, too focused on his chocolate treasure. «Ok, I’ll go check!» you announced, bringing some trash with you. 
After you closed the door, the two drivers were left alone with their steaming cups. «You’re so lucky, mate.» Charles stated, stirring with the spoon. «Yeah, I know, her hot chocolate is on another level!» Max chuckled. Charles briefly smiled before letting drop his gaze. «How… How are things with Kelly?» Max shot his head back up and widened his eyes: Charles had never been so direct and never asked about Kelly, at least not this openly. Even though he was a bit surprised at the sudden question, he kept his cool. As always. «Really good!» he said, grinning. «What about you and Charlotte?»  «Oh yeah, yeah, all good!» Charles rushed, flashing a sheepish smile. Ok, this is weird, Max thought.  As awkwardness was now settled into the conversation, the Dutch decided it would be a good idea to change topic. «Which flavour did you choose?» Max said, clearing his throat before asking. «Salted caramel. The contrast tastes really good.» As Max started nodding, already running out of conversation prompts, Charles kept talking. «I don’t know how she does it, because I’ve tried at home and it was a mess.» he said, pointing to the mug a couple of times, emphasizing his resignation. «But hers is just perfect. She has a talent for it.» «Yeah, I think so. Look how smooth it is on the surface.» Max said, getting the Monegasque’s attention on his cup. «Ah, I wish I could make it at home, especially during the winter break. Sometimes I just miss the taste of it.» Then Charles, pondering his own words, furrowed his brows and looked back at Max. «Can’t you ask y/n the recipe?» «What?» Max asked, disbelieved. «The recipe, so that I can make it on my own!» Charles laughed. «Oh, mate, I’ve tried to discover her secrets, but it’s impossible. She doesn’t even let me get close to the stove!» «Because you would tell me I’m doing things wrong!» you snapped back at him, entering the kitchen. «Y/n, please, could you give me the recipe?» Charles chirped, eyes full of hope. You reflected upon his request, then looked back at the pair of drivers sitting in front of you: was it fair to reveal your secret recipe to one of them - given the fact that you had never let Max know and weren’t planning on doing that any time soon? No, it wasn’t, but Charles’ beautiful eyes were begging you to do so.
Still, you didn’t. You didn’t want Max to think you preferred Charles over him. Because it wasn’t true anyway. «No, Charles, I’m sorry. I can’t.» you answered, swiping the counter’s surface with some paper towel to remove a few wet patches. «Y/n, please!» Charles said, frustrated. «You two are truly a pain!» you chuckled. «Only because you refuse to share with us the recipe to the most delicious hot chocolate of all time.» «You know you’re not going far with compliments, right?» you said, turning around towards the Monegasque. «I won’t surrender, y/n, you have my word.» he stared at you, a small grin on his lips. «Then we’ll see who surrenders first, ‘cause I won't either, Charles.» The Ferrari driver, impressed by your resolution, turned towards Max. «Should I be scared?» he then asked. «Very, very scared.» And with that, Max firstly grinned at him, only to meet your eyes a few seconds later. You stared at each other for a while, before your phone alarm rang and echoed through the kitchen.  «It’s almost 2 p.m.!» you exclaimed, addressing Max. «Do you need help with the luggage?» he asked you, getting up from the table. Charles got up as well, shaken by your haste. «You’re taking a flight too, y/n?» Charles said, looking at you a bit surprised. Uncertain about the answer you should give, you turned to Max for help; he simply nodded, suggesting you go on. «Yes, I’m going to Monaco.» you said with an awkward smile. «Then we’ll be on the same plane! That’s so cool!» Charles remarked with enthusiasm. «Is it to relax a little bit?» he then asked. Mouth agape, unable to answer his question, Max jumped into the conversation and saved you from bashfulness. «No, she’s moving in with me and Kelly.» he boldly stated. Charles looked at you, only to see you nodding at Max’s words. «That’s amazing! I don’t even need the recipe anymore, I’ll visit you everyday during the winter break!» His excitement was contagious and got you all laughing.  There was no point in denying you were nervous about going living with two people under the spotlight, but you felt relief knowing you could count on the support and friendship of many, making it easier for you to embrace the new chapter of your life. Nothing was going to be the same ever again, no turning back. You knew that it could be your chance.
You and Charles agreed on heading to the airport together; Max followed you to the car and was kind enough to bring the suitcase for you.  «Kelly should be there before you arrive, but if she’s not home call me.» he told you. «I will.» you smiled. «See you soon in Zandvoort, then!» He grinned, and you waved at him while you got inside the car with Charles. Already missing the presence, you watched his silhouette gradually getting smaller in the rear-mirrors, until he disappeared. Distance, though, couldn’t erase the warmth his smile left on your blushing skin.
Tumblr media
Moving in with Max didn’t take long: all your belongings always travelled with you inside a suitcase. That was all you had. Jumping from a hotel room to another, you never bothered unpacking; not that you had a lot to unpack anyway. Without money, you never had the chance to buy loads of new clothing pieces; you didn’t think you needed them and you were well aware that, even if you did, you simply couldn’t ask Max for those. He was doing way too much and you didn’t want to abuse his kindness. It was a cloudy day in Monaco, that Tuesday. Max had decided to book a flight for you, so that you could already settle in; he was staying in Belgium with his family for a while before moving to Zandvoort, in the Netherlands, for his home race. He reassured you Kelly would help you through it, but you didn’t think it was fair to her to be your guide: you were Max’s friend, not hers. She shouldn’t have been compelled to do anything for you. And again, there weren't a lot of things to settle, apart from yourself. Looking at the outside of the building, you checked the address a few times before ringing the doorbell. «Hello, who is it?» a feminine voice answered. «It’s y/n, Max’s friend.» «Come in!»
Since the lift could only be accessed using a key, you had to drag the suitcase up the stairs. So damn tiring. As soon as she saw you, Kelly came towards you to help you with the suitcase, probably expecting to see you with more than one, only to be caught by surprise. You had a single, small one. Once you made it on top of the stairs, you finally made eye contact with her and rapidly smiled, before dropping your gaze to the floor. «Let’s go in, I’ll show you around!» Kelly said, motioning for you to follow her. The apartment was modern but cozy at the same time; you could definitely tell she had chosen some pieces of furniture, since they looked classy and glamour, opposed to others which were neat and essential. Probably Max’s touch. «This is the living room and that’s the kitchen. Don’t expect Max to cook, though.» she warned you. «I know, I know!» you chuckled. Admiring the rooms, you got closer to a shelf near the tv and looked at some framed pictures. It was Kelly and Penelope, Penelope playing alone, Max and Kelly, all the three of them together. A family; maybe imperfect, but still a family. «Come, I’ll show you your room!» She interrupted your gazing session and guided you towards a corridor. «Here’s the bathroom, I’ve cleaned a bit so that you can put your toiletries.» «Thanks.» you softly said. «And this is your room.» Entering it, you stared in awe at the bright tones of the furnishings, the light coming through the curtains, the clean and harmonious look of it. You couldn’t believe it was a spare room for guests. «Do you like it?» Kelly asked, a pleased smile on her lips. «It’s… perfect.» You were about to thank her, when she took your luggage and dragged it into the room. «I’ll help you store clothes!» she said, opening the suitcase. You tried to stop her. «No, Kelly, it’s okay, you’ve done enough!» Your words coming out more aggressively than you intended, you corrected yourself. «I mean, you’ve already accepted me moving here with you and Max and… and you don’t have to help me even more. You’ve already done a lot.» She looked at you with a bright - almost practiced - smile plastered onto her face. She was beautiful. Stunned by her flawless hair, her mesmerizing eyes and enviable fit body, the success in her field and the allure she brought everywhere she’d go, you thought nobody could ever blame Max for loving her. As much as nobody could blame Kelly for falling in love with him. «I’m here to make you feel comfortable and to help you, y/n. You’re Max’s friend, so if he trusts you, I’ll trust you too. - As her white teeth showed once again, you smiled back full of gratitude. «So… Is this all you have?» she asked, eyeing the suitcase with a subtle and almost unnoticeable hint of disappointment. «Yes, that’s it.» «Okay, don’t move.» She stormed out of your room before you could say something. You took advantage of those moments to appreciate the view from your window: chic buildings slowly opened towards the deep-blue sea, creating a breathtaking scenery. Surreal, for someone like you. You heard Kelly’s steps getting closer to the door and turned around, your eyes growing wide. «Can you help me?» She had a ton of clothes in her arms and was barely able to hold them on her own; you rushed to her and took some, placing them onto the bed. «I was going to throw them away because I don’t have enough room, but if there’s something you like you can take it!» Feeling the various textures and carefully going through a few, you thanked her multiple times. Kelly then obliged you to try them on, to see the ones that suited you the best; she was way more excited than you were, but the minimum you could do to show appreciation was indulge her. Whenever something didn’t fit because of your different sizes, you simply told Kelly it wasn’t your style - which sometimes was the case, but most of the times it wasn’t. In all honesty, you could’ve never stood up to the challenge and you didn’t want to feel embarrassed. «You have to try this on!» she said, grabbing a short blue dress. Too short to your liking. «Uhm, I don’t think I’ll ever wear it…» you mumbled. «Why not?? This is brand new, I’ve never worn it but it’s super cute! Try it!» There was no real choice. Sure it wouldn’t fit you anyway, you changed in the bathroom with low expectations. To your surprise, the fabric glided over your skin without stretching. Pulling up the zip onto the side, you slowly raised your head to look at your reflection in the bathroom’s mirror. You looked beautiful. You felt beautiful. You normally wouldn’t even throw a glance over a dress like that one, but there was something that made you feel comfortable, almost at home. The color. That soft and rich tone of blue, familiar in the most literal sense. Similar to Red Bull’s. On your way to Kelly, you couldn’t stop touching and straightening the fabric in an attempt to make the dress a little longer, noticing how it would get even shorter while walking. Your arm brushing against the door frame, your gaze down, you heard Kelly gasp. «Oh my God.» she said, momentarily speechless. She got up from the bed and came closer, hands on your shoulder, checking you out with shocked eyes. «It’s yours.» Kelly stated. «Don’t you think it is a little too short?» you tried to stop her excitement. She simply gave you a look that wasn’t leaving room for discussions. «It looks amazing on you, y/n. You’re keeping it and you’re wearing it on Sunday night!» «Sunday night?» you asked, frowning. A warm and big smile crept over her lips. «On Max’s victory party.» At the thought, you grinned as well. The Flying Dutchman was coming home.
Tumblr media
Zandvoort was invaded by the Orange Army. Everywhere you went, everywhere you turned around, every person your eyes were able to see even from a distance wore the Dutch colors or Red Bull hats and tees, screamed and drank in delight and excitement, lit up orange smoke bombs. There was no room for anything else, no room for anyone else: it was as bright as the day that those fans only cheered one driver, only worshipped one god, one king. And that was Max. The appreciation he was receiving in the country he chose as his was immeasurable; being a champion who made the Netherlands so well known all over the world and, as if that alone weren’t enough, winning a world title and placing the Dutch flag on top of the podium could only make way for an unconditional love and, on a higher level, led him to be appointed Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau.  Max felt proud, grateful and compelled to keep giving his best, even though it wasn’t really necessary: there was no need to fuel a lion’s hunger.
Gear box’s problem during the first run of free practice didn’t ruin the mood: both crowd’s spirits and Red Bull’s didn’t loosen up, quite the opposite, they grew stronger in anticipation and excitement for a hoped feat, during a tricky and unpredictable weekend. Max seemed to have turned insensitive to pressure: his features were calm and relaxed as usual, a well-mannered and tolerant demeanor, but sharpness and determination still showed. Not even his father testing positive for Covid was able to break his impassivity, what could ever make him lose the newfound coolness, mastered throughout the years, and shatter his emotional stability? Nothing, right? # «I know everyone asks you and this might be annoying, but…» «Where am I going next year?» «Yeah…» «Trust me, y/n, I have no fucking clue.» As Daniel answered you with defeated eyes, a veil of sadness took over you.  One thing was Sebastian retiring after an amazing career and with high chances of seeing him coming back to the sport relatively soon; another thing was accepting the fact that Daniel had to end his F1 career way too early without any future plan, without the peak he deserved.  It hurt you, so you couldn’t even understand how much it could hurt him. Probably you’d never do. «I know where you are going, though.» he smirked. «Uh? What do you mean?» you asked, confused. A smirk appeared on his face. «You’re moving to Max’s house in Monaco, right?» You stared at him slightly taken aback. «Did Max tell you already?» you said, diverting the gaze. «Yes, and I was extremely outraged.»  You couldn’t help but smile at his teasing tone. «Why did you ask him? I live in Monaco too!» Daniel went on. «You’re telling me you would accept someone else living with you?» you raised your eyebrow, doubtful. You could see him thinking about it with the mouth slightly open. «No, you’re right, I wouldn’t, but you have to promise you’ll spend more time with me rather than with Max.» «That was obvious, Dan. You know you’ll always be my favourite Red Bull driver. » «Coming from someone who’s friend with the V-squad, it’s hard to believe you.» he chuckled. «V-squad?» «Vettel-Verstappen. That’s some lethal shit.» You bursted out laughing. «They're everything but lethal, Daniel!» you said. «Well, I see you know more than I do.» The fact that he'd been teammate of both was enough to suggest to you he was being ironic, but you suddenly realized that it could also be a simple statement: he'd been teammate of both, teammate of two world-title-worth drivers. A sense of guilt caught you: Daniel probably deserved more, but he'd never really shown his entire potential. What would've happened if he'd found someone who'd believe in him as much as everybody did with Seb and Max? No one would ever know, Daniel would never know; but he'd live wondering, eaten by hopes and broken dreams.  Well, it was better to enjoy what was left before it completely disappeared. As you were still talking with the McLaren driver, you heard someone calling for you from afar; turning around, you saw Carlos raising an arm at you as a greeting.  As he got closer, he quickly smiled at you and Daniel. «How's life in hell?» Dan asked, playful. «Better than you might think, Ricciardo.» Carlos teased him, emphasizing the r's in his last name.  After chitchatting a little, the Spanish driver addressed you. «Charles wanted to know if you're watching practice from our box.» Your thought immediately going to Red Bull’s garage and Max's fans all around you reminding you in case you'd ever forget about him, you gave an apologetic smile to Carlos. «I'm sorry, this is Max's home race... But I promise I'll be with you for Monza!» «You weren't with me in Melbourne, y/n. I would've never thought you'd picked favourites!» Daniel faked shock. «We all know y/n only has one favourite driver.» Carlos' knowing stare made you feel uncomfortable. Why did he have to be so intense in stating something you didn't want to hear out loud? Walking towards Red Bull's box, memories with Max unfolded before your eyes: you always struggled to see the evil character some people would portray him as. To you Max had a kind heart, had been hurt as everybody else, had hated and loved as anybody else; leading a life like his, probably would’ve led you to a breakdown, dreading journalists and their stupid or intrusive questions, whereas Max had learned to handle them and to accompany his words with a smile.  And he was just in his twenties.  Everybody seemed to forget how young he’d been and still was, but you couldn’t: the way his nose crinkled while laughing, his eyes squeezed, his laugh, held the fun, the joy, the purity youngsters have. That carelessness, spontaneity and freedom you only experience in your young years.  Max felt like a breath of fresh air. Oxygen to your lungs, to your suffocating life. You spent every single moment of Max being on track with Red Bull’s headphones on: you saw him conquer pole position, being cheered in a way you’d never imagine, overtaking Mercedes while you had your heart in your mouth, winning in Zandvoort and people in the grandstands going absolutely crazy.  You tried to push through the crowd to reach him, congratulate him, show you were there for him; you soon gave up, as a group of close friends and family members gathered around him.  Right before you could see Max and Kelly’s heads getting closer to share a kiss, your eyes were caught by a red fire suit passing next to you, drinking from a water bottle. Charles, noticing you, smiled and you both headed towards each other. «Congratulations, Charles!» you screamed, in order to be heard among the chaos. «Oh thank you, y/n.» he said, forcing a smile. You emphatically put a hand on his shoulder to console him; you could see he wasn’t pleased at all with the result, but you didn’t want him to dwell on it while going to the podium celebration. As you tried to comfort him a little, Max, who was searching for you, saw you consoling an unsatisfied Charles. Too impatient to wait for you to be over, Max closed the gap in a few steps and put your conversation with the Monegasque to an abrupt end.  Before you could say anything, Max pulled you in a hug, engulfing you with his adrenaline and happiness. You closed your eyes and let your hand wander through his sweaty hair, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of it. Your heartbeat raised to match his, a wave of overwhelming feelings messing with you.  «I won, y/n!» The sky behind him already sunsetting made an extraordinary scenery with warmth tones that suited the air filled with orange smoke; the blue of his suit and his eyes proved once again the theory of opposite colors being a well-chosen pair. It was true. Yes, Max had won. Your affection.
Tumblr media
Laid down on your hotel bed, you stared at the ceiling, lost in thought: during the last week you’d managed to forget about your parents and you left behind the unhappiness of Spa, which had been replaced by the welcome Max, Kelly and everybody in the paddock had already proved you in the last months. You were grateful to have the opportunity of meeting people who worked in a sport you loved and were lucky to be able to call them friends. Deep down, though, you knew your soul still carried a void, you could feel it; but maybe it was time to forget, to let go of your past, or at least give it a try, and instead of mourning a love you’d never receive, enjoy the one you could actually grasp. You heard your phone vibrating in your pocket. “We’ll leave in 20 minutes.” Max was reminding you that he would give you a lift to a club they’d be celebrating at. And indirectly reminded you had only 20 minutes to get ready. You quickly replied. “Ok, take your time!” “Don’t tell me you’re still not ready” You smiled at it, then started typing. “Who knows… :D” “You’re unbelievable, y/n.” Getting closer to the suitcase, you thought of wearing a simple mise you would always choose for parties like those, but some blue cloth caught your attention: it was Kelly’s dress, the one she insisted on giving you, the one you had to wear for Max’s victory on Sunday. Well, it was Sunday. The perfect occasion to wear it for the first and probably only time in your life. The mirror inside the lift made you feel every second more insecure about your appearance: was it too much? Too revealing? Too inappropriate? It was a club night, though… Is there anything considered inappropriate in a place people go in order to be inappropriate?  As you tried not to compulsively pull the dress’ hem down, you headed towards the glass entrance door of the hotel. Outside, you could see a car parked right in front of the building, together with Max and Kelly talking on the pavement. Approaching them, you realized it seemed more like arguing. You immediately stopped, afraid of interrupting them, but Max had already turned his head towards you and acknowledged your presence. His features, from tensed and creased, gradually loosened while staring at you: he’d rarely seen you wearing dresses - especially short ones; rarely saw makeup on your face, rarely looked at much of your skin exposed. He’d rarely lost track of time and surroundings because of you. Because of how beautiful and stunning you were. It wasn’t just the shape or how the dress fitted you: it was you, shining and beaming like a precious star.  Max kept staring at you, unable to speak, still shocked by you and his own reaction. «Oh, here’s y/n.» Kelly said, with a pinch of annoyance. She immediately crossed her arms and got inside the car. Max, still dazed and fascinated by the way that blue color suited you and complemented your skin tone, regained composure and signaled you to get in the car without saying anything. You guessed his awkwardness was due to the conversation he’d had with Kelly; you didn’t say anything either, and got in in silence.
# Parties were not for you. It was something you’d started learning too late.  You couldn’t avoid celebrating the win of the person who was supporting you in every aspect.  Maybe him being a world champion and an astonishing driver wasn’t really helpful, but the problem clearly was only yours, since there wasn’t a single person not freaking loving him. Max got swamped by a sea of people, drenched in sweat and alcohol, torn and pulled in all directions because everybody craved him, everybody felt drawn to success. The dim lights made it hard for you to take in your chaotic surroundings and the loud music thumped in your chest, a tightening feeling taking over your lungs. Lost in the crowd, you frantically turned your head around to search for a familiar face, someone you could consider a friend. Once again, you found yourself realizing how lonely you were. Another victory party, another disaster. You ran towards the bar, grabbing someone else’s shot and downing it in a go. It tasted bitter and made your insides burn, flowing like a trail of fire, from your throat to your stomach: maybe it would be able to burn down all your thoughts as well? You decided to take another one, just to check if it worked. After all, Max liked getting drunk: there should’ve been a reason for it, right? As you settled into the bar area, two people you couldn’t make out the face of started talking to you and offered drinks non-stop. You could feel your cheeks flushing and loads of giggles would leave your mouth as your head began spinning: you were high and had gone way over your limit.  But you didn’t care. You had things to forget and if alcohol could help, then alcohol would be. Your overthinker mind couldn’t stand it, though. Eyes staring at the umpteenth shot, you seemed to sober up all of a sudden. Drinking was never going to solve your problems. You were just being childish, trying to ignore everything, thinking you could avoid dealing with people. It simply was not going to work. How stupid of you to think there could be such an easy and self-destructive solution. You got up, disgusted by your own actions, and tried to head over the bathroom; you quickly noticed it’d be a difficult task, since dizziness was making it hard for you not to swing and sway, trying to cross the dance floor full of equally drunk and sweaty people. Your stomach was twisting in shame and disgust.  Feeling unwell, you dead-stopped in the middle of the suffocating room and closed your eyes, hoping the dizziness would stop.  Why were you there? You opened your eyes and saw Max in the distance, laughing and dancing. You wanted to go to him. You needed him. Get away from that place, drive in the middle of the night without other people around. No chaos, no winners, no losers. Just you and him.  Before you could even try to move your body towards him, Kelly’s blurred figure ran to him, hugging him first and then getting lost in a passionate kiss. Weren’t they arguing before picking you up? Had they made up that quickly? Nausea got your feet moving. You hurried towards the bathroom and made it past people in line, too lost in drunk conversations to notice you passed them. Once you got in, you reached the sink and tried to calm down. Your hands, shaking, tightly gripped the edge, while you took deep breaths to prevent you from throwing up on the spot. You stared at your reflection onto the mirror, which was dirty and broken. Just like you. Eyes still piercing your own, you heard moaning noises coming from the toilet. You saw your own reflection having tears falling down its cheeks before you perceived the hot sensation against your skin. The image of Kelly and Max kissing stuck in your mind and you turned your head away from the mirror. You couldn’t stand watching your misery cross your face. Regaining confidence in your movements, you stormed out of the bathroom, mascara staining your skin, and left that place which smelled like sadness, vodka and loneliness. Streets were crowded, but nobody noticed your terrifying aspect.  You felt like a ghost wandering in silence, a light and invisible presence in everybody’s life. Your thoughts went to your parents. You were a ghost for them too.  You were nothing to them. You were already dead before even dying. Your steps became even more unsteady as new tears filled your eyes; without being aware of it, you started walking at the very edge of the road, cars passing by at moderate speed and dangerously close to you. You failed to notice. As much as you failed to notice a car slowing down, three young and wasted guys whistling at your exposed legs and shouting in Dutch. You did notice the sound of an engine revving getting closer and someone screaming against them, but you simply kept walking. «Y/n!» You didn’t recognize the voice, so you didn’t stop; scared, you tried to walk more rapidly, causing you to trip. You felt a pair of arms embracing you and sustaining you. As Charles said things you couldn’t muster, you crushed onto his chest and cried hard. He didn’t back off; he whispered something into your hair and tried to get you inside his car as fast as possible, willing to take you to a safer place. Speeding through the city, he would glance at you a few times to check if you were okay, if you felt sick and if you were still crying.  Rapidly parking along the street, he opened the car door for you and enveloped your back and right shoulder with his arm, in order to keep you up and guide you towards the hotel entrance. You mentally thanked him, as you didn’t trust your sense of balance. «Here we are, y/n. I’ll be back in a second.» he told you, carefully placing onto the bed and rushing towards the bathroom. Charles took some paper towel and opened the tap to get it wet, then came back to you, still sat on the bed, staring into the void. He had never seen you cry.  Somehow, though, tears weren’t the thing he was the most scared of; it was you being utterly drunk and totally disrupted.  That wasn’t you. You were the bubbly hot chocolate master who would joke with him and Carlos and cheer them up no matter how terrible the race had been. You’d never get drunk at parties, or at least not that much to sway and not be able to stand up on your own. He wanted to know, but he figured out that you didn’t need to be reminded of unpleasant memories, and neither did he need you to tell him; he could help you regardless of the things he could be told. He kneeled down and started swiping the mascara dripped onto your cheeks, in soft and feather-like motions. As soon as you realized what he was doing, you looked at him, a bit surprised, almost as if you were acknowledging his presence for the first time. He smiled back. «I’m almost done, I promise.» he whispered, focusing on the other cheek. «Charles…» «Be patient, y/n… Voilà, all cleaned up!» he said, checking one last time if he’d missed any parts. As his green eyes met yours, all the words you wanted to say died before pronouncing them: your mind wasn’t able to process everything that had occurred in the span of the last hours, so your primary needs took over. «I think I want to sleep.» you blurted out, tired. «Then sleep, y/n.» Charles said, softly rubbing one of your arms with his hand. You quickly laid down on the bed, nudging against the pillow, but feeling cold; you still had your short dress on, after all. Charles, foreseeing your desire, put a blanket over you.  «Goodnight, y/n.» You mumbled something that resembled a “night, Charles”, but it came out as an indistinct gibberish the Monegasque failed to understand.  Watching you peacefully drifting off, he grinned and switched the light off.

Max woke up with his usual hangover headache, empowered by the sun beams coming from the windows. «Why did you open the blinds?» Max grunted, covering his eyes with his palms. «Morning, love!» Kelly chirped by his side, leaving a kiss on his hands. «Morning.» Max turned to his bedside table and took the pill already placed onto it, together with a glass of water. Kelly always knew how to take care of him. And also knew how Max wouldn’t have limits when it came to drinking and having fun at parties, but she loved it. She loved him. No matter the difficulties and the arguments of the previous days, a F1 win could turn tables in any circumstance, and it did bring him and Kelly closer. The two of them cuddled for a while in silence, then Kelly broke the embrace to take her phone. «Did you have fun?» he asked her. «Of course, Maxi. Everyone had fun yesterday.» she said, mindlessly passing a hand through his hair. «Bet a lot of people down the paddock probably hadn’t!» Max chuckled. As he said that, Kelly wide-opened her eyes, staring at her phone, surprised. «I think Charles had fun, though…» she remarked. Max furrowed his brows. «Are you sure? He didn’t seem quite happy on the podium…» «No, look here!» Kelly showed Max her phone. There was an Instagram post showing a picture of Charles entering a hotel with a girl, while holding her arm lovingly. The description said: “F1 driver Charles Leclerc might have not had great satisfactions on track, but he definitely had behind closed doors! Discover who the mysterious girl is to this link!” Max didn’t need to read a shitty article to know who that was. That beautiful blue dress he had been captured by all night was yours. «Poor Charlotte…» Kelly said, sadly glancing at the post. «Her dress looks fire, though.» Not paying attention to her comments, Max couldn’t take in the information. You and Charles, together, in a hotel, at night. Nobody would’ve ever believed you were there just to have a cup of hot chocolate or whatever excuse was possible in that case; you could only be doing one thing only. Sleeping together. Max started putting pieces together: you not reaching out to him throughout the summer break while you supposedly “ended your apartment contract”; you catching up with Charles in Spa as soon as you could and disappearing for hours also when it wasn’t racing time; Charles asking him straight away after that race where you were in order to cheer himself up; you being smiley and flustered around him while serving him hot chocolate the past Monday, Charles being awkward speaking of his relationship with Charlotte; you flying to Monaco and arriving in Zandvoort on the same plane as him, having the opportunity to spend almost two days together; finally, you consoling him after the race before congratulating for the win, something you’d never fail to do. Suddenly Max had the entire vision of things in front of his eyes and all the answers he’d been searching for.  Charles was cheating on Charlotte with you. Was that the reason you had asked him about Checo cheating on Carola?  He felt an unexplainable rage, then replaced by disappointment: you really had a bias for him. Why was he being so dramatic? You were free to sleep with whoever you wanted.  It was none of his business. But out of everybody, why a F1 driver?  Why a Ferrari driver?  Why Charles? «Max?» Kelly shook him out of his trance state. «That’s disgusting.» he said, getting up and heading towards the kitchen. «Well, it also could be just a friend. Charles is a good guy!» she said, following him. «What if he isn’t?» Max asked, annoyance overflowing through his words. «I don’t know, Max… Maybe we miss some information. We shouldn’t judge him this quickly.» «I’m not judging him, I don’t care.» the driver said, sitting at the table and scrolling his phone. Kelly watched him trying to ignore his own disapproval and started getting breakfast ready. After a few seconds, Max's phone rang. 1 message from C. Leclerc The last person he wanted to deal with. Simply lovely. “Hey Max, y/n is with me in a hotel near the track but I need to take a flight to Milan in 2 hours. Can you please pick her up?” His grip on the phone tightened. “Yes, send me the position.” Then Max typed again. “By the way, I know she’s with you, hope you’ve had a good night” He threw the phone on the table, startling Kelly. As the notification sound filled the silent room once again, Max immediately picked the phone up. “..? She was very drunk, couldn’t even stand on her own and was wandering alone around the streets. Just wanted to make sure she was safe” Max was hit by the text: you drunk? To the point of needing someone else’s support? He didn’t even notice you drank last night, but he was pretty wasted himself. Max realized he had lost sight of you since the party started. But you could take care of yourself, he knew you didn’t need his help; in fact, you would always try to make him slow down with drinking and check on him often to see how bad his hangover would be. Max felt a tad bit of annoyment for the last part of the text - were you two that close? - but another message prevented him from dwelling on it any further. “And I slept in a different room, if that’s what you mean. You know I have a girlfriend, right? 😅” To say Max felt stupid was an understatement, but he still couldn’t shake uncertainty and doubt off his mind. “Ok. Send me the location”

You woke up to the sound of someone’s steps. Your head pulsing and aching, you slowly turned towards the middle of the room. There you saw a man bent over a suitcase, searching for something, and you quickly figured out what. Because he was shirtless. You couldn’t help but scream; the man, startled, pulled himself up together with a red shirt. «Charles!?» you yelled, bewildered, gripping the sheets. After rapidly wearing the shirt, he motioned for you to stay calm. «Yes, and I know it seems weird but nothing happened, don’t worry.» «N-nothing?» you asked, avoiding his gaze. «Nothing.» he said, with a relaxed and quiet tone. You let go of the sheets and noticed you still had your dress on, before taking in your surroundings. «Where are we?» you said, looking around. «In a hotel near the track. I brought you here because you were too drunk to go anywhere.» Charles sat down across the bed and watched you process the information. «Do you remember anything?» he then asked. «Not really, but I have a headache, so I totally trust your words.» you tried to smile, rubbing your forehead. «I don’t have pills, I’m sorry.» he apologized. «No worries, it’ll pass eventually.»  Getting up, Charles took a deep breath and glanced over at the suitcase. «Uhm, I have other bad news, y/n…» he said with a sheepish smile. «What is it?» «I need to be in Italy in a few hours. But don’t worry, Max is coming to pick you up!» As he said that, he got closer to the suitcase and closed it. Max. His name, instead of giving you a positive feeling as it always did, threw a weight on your chest that you couldn’t make out.  Then you began to remember. You downing drinks with no control because you felt left out once again, only to feel lonelier watching him and Kelly being a couple.  And a happy one. For unknown reasons, you didn’t feel ready to face him. You were beyond embarrassed: Charles had seen you wasted and God knows what you did once you arrived at the hotel; plus, Max was probably going to be disappointed and confused by your weird behaviour, because you would’ve never done that a few days prior.  What happened that made you snap? Before you could answer, a wave of nausea got you running to the bathroom and shutting the door with strength.  You were so not ready to meet Max. You heard a knock on the door. «Are you okay?» Charles asked with a soft tone. With your back leaned against the door and your hands resting on it, you closed your eyes in an attempt to regain composure. «Yes, just a bit nauseous.» «Well, I’d like to say that it’s fine but you’d probably disagree.» he said, chuckling a little. You smiled. «You can take your time, y/n, we’re not in a hurry. If you need help-» «Thanks, Charles, but I’d like to keep the scene for myself.» you interrupted him, laughing. «Okay, I was just letting you know!» he said, raising his hands in defeat. After a few seconds of silence, you spoke up again. «Charles?» «Yes?» «Thank you.» Even though you couldn’t see him, you could tell he was smiling. «There’s nothing to thank me for, y/n. With all the times you offered me hot chocolate, I’m the one in debt here!» At that, you both chuckled. «Well, that’s kind of true. But you don’t owe me anything, Charles, I was happy to do it.» «And so was I yesterday, y/n. Glad to help a friend.» With that, he moved away from the door and checked the room in order to leave it neat and clean. As you got out of the bathroom, Charles received a new text. “I’m here.” «Max is waiting for us, let’s go.» the Monegasque told you with a smile. You took a deep breath, collected all your courage and headed towards the elevator with Charles. He could tell you were uptight, but he didn’t know what to say to make you feel a little bit more relieved. He still wondered what had happened and, above all, what could have happened if he hadn’t been in the right place at the right time. He furtively got a glimpse of your standing figure: you seemed tired and still upset, gaze to the ground.  Charles could only hope Max would help you more than he’d been able to. Max was impatiently waiting for you in the hall, so that as soon as he saw you getting off the elevator he jogged over to you and carefully scrutinized you. He expected some sort of explanation, a greeting at least, but Max was only met with silence. You didn’t even dare to look him in the eyes, afraid of judgement, ashamed of your own actions. Charles, clearly aware of the taut atmosphere, broke the ice. «Thanks for coming, Max. I’d like to have a chat with you, but I really have to go… We’ll see in Monza!» he said waving at you and leaving. «Bye.» Max dryly said. Neither of you paid attention to Charles. You still had your eyes fixed on the ground, unable to raise them. «We have to go too, come on.» You heard Max’s steps getting further and further away; you immediately shot your head up and rushed behind him. The car ride was silent. You didn’t know what to say and, to be honest, you were feeling a little bit unwell, which made everything worse. Those minutes were a nightmare. Then they became hell the moment Max started talking. «Care to explain?» «Explain what?» you whispered, hands rubbing your temples in an attempt to soothe your headache. «I don’t know, y/n, anything, ‘cause I have no fucking idea of what happened and when I woke up this morning I expected all but picking you up with hangover.» His sharp tone cut you deeper than a knife: his words stabbed you in the chest, provoking a pang of guilt and disappointment in yourself. You didn’t know what to say. You couldn’t recall exactly every thing that happened either: the last image you had, engraved in your memory, was the kiss between Max and Kelly. Nothing else. It had been obsessing you since you had witnessed it. For no clear reason, it caused an incurable discomfort and uneasiness. You also felt bad about being accused. Accused of what? Of drinking? Was it a sin? Pride suddenly shook you from your mental and emotional numbness: was he allowed to be mad? «Well, you already seem to know I’ve drunk, so that’s not much left to say anyway.» you said in a low voice. Max tightened his hold on the steering wheel, clearly displeased with your answer. Stopping at a red traffic light, he turned his head in order to look at you, enraged. «Do you think I care?» he said, raising his tone.  Before speaking again, he covered his eyes with one hand with an exasperated motion. «Do you really think I care if you have a drink or not? Fucking hell, y/n, I get wasted every other weekend.» «Then what is it?» you whispered. «I just want to know why you drank that much, since you never did.» he said, softening his voice despite the frustration. «Did something happen?» Your eyes searched for an escape outside the window. «No, I… I just wanted to try.» Max didn’t say anything for a while, but you didn’t dare to turn and face him.  He knew you were hiding your reasons, he knew you didn’t want to be a source of problems and so, for the umpteenth time, he simply let the conversation drop. As the car began moving, you heard him speak again. «You could’ve told me. You know, to drink together.» You knew that was his attempt to save the situation and you mentally thanked him. He gave you the escape you needed. «Maybe we can do it next time?» he asked you. «I don’t think there’ll be a next time, Max…» you said, rubbing your temples again.  «That’s what you get when you’re not with the right people.» He turned to you with a smile that quickly made one appear on your lips as well. Typical Verstappen-like teasing.
Tumblr media
«Max? Max! Where have you been?» As soon as Kelly heard the keys jingling and opening the lock, she rushed towards the door while addressing Max. Only to see you standing shyly next to him, wearing a way too familiar dress. Familiar not just because it has been hers, but because she realized it was the same as the one of the instagram post she saw that morning. All the puzzle pieces connected in her mind. You were that girl. Kelly struggled to picture you together with Charles, but she didn’t know you well enough to exclude it without any doubt. Not tolerating her piercing stare on you,  your body helped you run away from the situation. Placing your hand firmly over your mouth, you rushed towards the bathroom due to retching.  Max sighed with closed eyes and then braced himself to face Kelly. That wasn’t the first argument they were having since you moved in. Max couldn’t accept it, but they all happened because of you. «Charles had a flight, he couldn’t drop her here himself.» he plainly stated. «You can’t always run to her whenever something happens.» «What are you talking about? This is the first time.» Max remarked, starting to get irritated. As gagging noises could be heard from the bathroom, Kelly’s tone became harsh. «She isn’t independent at all.» «Kel, she owns nothing, she has nothing, what do you expect her to do? Found a business?» Max’s frustration grew stronger. «I expect she didn’t abuse someone else's money in order to live.» «She doesn’t abuse anything. She’s a friend of mine and if I want her to live in my house, she will.» «Ok, Max, the decision is yours.» Kelly said. «But don’t expect me to be okay with it just because it is.» She crossed her arms and walked away. Max stood in the hall, mentally swearing due to the situation he was in. Too much to take for a man with a hangover. On the same day, the three of you left for Monaco before heading towards Monza, as Charles already had. The tension between you was evident, but you tried to shake it off and avoid thinking of a situation that was making you feel bad about yourself. In order to offer your apologies to Kelly, you decided to go with an old and proven method of reconciliation: hot chocolate, of course. You wanted to show her you were sorry for breaking in her house and that there could be a way to make it work out. Max’s house, though, didn’t have the ingredients necessary for your recipe; you decided to go for a little shopping session at a supermarket and surprise the both of them. As soon as you all arrived in Monaco, you excused yourself and told Max and Kelly you had to go buy some medications. You left them in silence, unpacking the necessary in their bedroom, and once you came home you found them yelling and shouting at each other in the living room. «Why didn’t you tell me before you asked her?» «Because I thought you would either be happy or didn’t care at all! I don’t understand why she bothers you so much!» «Because you only care about her! Everything is about her! I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for her, but why can’t you see how difficult it is for me to deal with this situation? When did she become more important than us?» Leaning against the wall which separated the hall from the living area, you dreaded Max’s silence. Were you a threat to their relationship? How come you hadn’t noticed Kelly’s disapproval? All of a sudden, you realized you were the culprit: not wanting to abuse Max’s kindness, you ended up doing exactly so and you totally neglected the needs of her girlfriend, who was an important part of his life, only for your own benefit. You didn’t mean it, you didn’t do it intentionally, but even the way to Hell was made up of good intentions, after all. «You know what, Max... It’s okay, keep doing whatever you please. But I think I need a break. Once you’ve resetted your priorities, let me know.» And with that, Kelly stormed out of the house, not noticing you or maybe pretending not to see you. The shopping bag in your hand dropped to the floor; at the thud, Max immediately rushed towards the door and saw you standing. Chocolate bars on the ground, he eyed them and sighed. «Hot chocolate time?» he then asked. «Hot chocolate time.» you sentenced. After drinking it, you both lazily laid down on your bed, eyes gazing at the ceiling. «Why don’t you want to share the recipe for your hot chocolate?» «I don’t know.» you whispered. «Are you serious?» You softly smiled. «If I gave you the recipe, you’d be able to make it on your own.» «That’s pretty much the point, y/n.» Max laughed. «I know, but if you’re able to make it alone, then you won’t come to me and ask me for it.» Max turned his head over to look at you and finally started realizing why you wanted to keep it a secret.  It was a way to spend time with people, having them near you and being able to communicate with them: a mug of hot chocolate in exchange for the warmth of social closure. That was the secret deal you had been making with each single person you had prepared a cup for. Max didn’t avoid your gaze when it fell on him. You stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, before you diverted your attention to the furniture. You couldn’t bear the depth of his cold glance, it was too much for you to sustain: the sudden closure began feeling overwhelming, although it hadn’t been for the past minutes. Embarrassment and awkwardness got you flustered, as much as they caught Max the moment he noticed you were starting to feel uneasy by being so intimate. You both got up quickly, as if to erase the memory of what had just happened. «I… I think I’ll go to sleep.» Max said to you, unsure. «Y-yeah, me too!» your voice cracked because of nervousness. Once Max escaped to his room, you fell onto your bed, sighing.  Why did you start being uncomfortable so suddenly?  It definitely wasn’t the first time you were spending alone time with Max and neither was this the first time you were cuddling together. Well, the first time was in Spa.  But that was different, you’d just had a breakdown. And Max hadn’t just had a fight with Kelly because of you. You closed your eyes. Kelly. You felt so guilty of agreeing with Max’s idea, but you remembered her saying it was absolutely no problem and, moreover, she had helped you with new clothes. She was, or at least she tried, to come across as welcoming and happy to have you on board even though she clearly wasn’t. She put effort in order to please Max, but she had to compromise her own. You knew it wasn’t your fault, Max had just told you: however, you couldn’t help but feeling sorry for the problems you had caused and the idea of them breaking up or having other issues made you feel small.  In that moment, you realized you were being treated as a child: incapable of providing for her own needs, living with a slightly older couple under a roof that wasn’t yours and using their money.  Then, like a slap on the cheek, another name echoed inside your head. Penelope. The fact that such a young girl had to endure his parents' divorcing broke your heart; the idea of provoking another break up, shaking her life once more, had your hands cover your face, a frustrated whine escape your lips.  You desperately wanted to fix things, but you felt helpless. Would it be better to just move out? Try to become independent and fucking grow up without destroying other people’s life? What did you have to do with yours?  You didn’t know anymore. You grabbed the pillow and dug your nails into it, releasing all your frustration and holding back tears.It was going to be a long night. # 2.34 a.m. The sea was shining with the moon's reflection and the lights coming from the city indicated how lively and full of action Monaco was during nighttime. A light breeze would bring the echo of loud beats played in some club, cars still filling the road. You were sitting on a bench, watching life unfolding outside of you. You felt a little bit too cold in your shirt, but it was a distant sensation. As a shiver ran down your spine for the umpteenth time, you decided to go back home. But where was it home? You didn’t have one. Your eyes looked around. Where were you? Monaco was just a different name given to your loneliness. Your feet made you stand up and walk away, with no destination. You kept going until your legs soared, observing happiness from the outside: couples strolling by, friends drinking carelessly, families eating ice cream together. You stopped at a crossroad.  You were lost. You felt lost. Taking your phone out of your pocket, you opened your chats. You searched for Max’s contact. His profile picture was him and Kelly together. A tear fell onto the screen. Why did you have to ruin everything people had, everything you had? You pressed the call icon. Not that you were expecting him to pick up so late. «Hello?» Nothing. «He- wait, y/n? Why are you calling me, we’re literally in the same house…» Max said, voice hoarse and frustrated. As you watched a traffic light turning green, another silent tear fell onto your cheek. «Y/n? Hello?» «I think I’m lost.» you whispered. «Wha- Lost? Y/n, where are you?» Max asked, confused. Raising your eyes to the moon in search of an answer, your voice stuttered among sobs. «I-I don’t know.»
