content warnings: JUST FLUFF. I SWEAR.

Tumblr media
you felt silly, you felt like your gift was silly and felt even sillier for worrying so much about it your palms were sweaty even though it was very late at night and the house was surrounded by the whiteness of snow. this was your first christmas as james' girlfriend and even though you had been to his home before, that was the first time you would be staying the night as well.
to top that kind of pressure, it was the first year your gift to james would actually matter, you couldn't just give him a sweater, or a book or a coupon for free of charge homework help, it had to be good, it had to be meaningful.
and it was hard to do that for someone who had everything. he was the golden boy, not only were his parents generational wealth loaded, they were caring, loving and were always making sure he and his friends had everything they could ever need. how could anything you try to give him compare to that?
nonetheless, you tried your best, and now the party was over, the other three marauders black out drunk in sirius' room from spiked eggnogg mr. fleamont pretended not to see them drink and you on james' bed waiting for him to come back after helping them out.
his smile brightened up the whole room, even though the lights were on and the warmth in his eyes made you forget about any worries that surrounded your mind while he was gone. you stretched your arms to pull him in a hug after he closed the door, though he ignored completely, simply laying on top of you with all of his weight, forcing you to lay down as well. "honeyyyy, i'm so tired." he whined, his cheek touching yours as he spoke.
one of your hands went to his arm, while the other played with his hair, he was such a baby when he wanted to, but you were lovesick, dangerously lovesick, so it was endearing to you. "no gifts today, then?" that made him get up in a jump, excitement filling him with the energy he had lost to sleepiness.
"nooooo, not what i meant." he pouted, batting his beautiful eyelashes at you, you laughed, knowing that would be the reaction, he had been extremely curious by your present from the time you showed up engulfed in green flames inside his family's fireplace, a big heavy something, perfectly wrapped, to jamie written in your handwriting in a heart shaped note that he knew he would keep safe inside his wallet to the rest of his days.
you got the gift from his nightstand and handed it to him, the anxiety coming back again as you started overexplaining yourself to him, "wanted to make something special, but you have so much stuff i... didn't know what... so i asked your mum to help me with this. i know it's like, nothing super unique but... i don't know." you fumbled completely over your words and he looked so deep into your eyes you knew he was able to read your whole entire soul without even trying at all.
"even a rock you find on a road and decides it reminds you of me would be special." everything you do, everything you touch is special, is what he actually wants to say, but he refrains from it, carefully taking out the tape holding the wrapping paper together, refusing to rip it apart. his eyes sparkled when he saw the leather cover, his name golden along with his gryffindor quidditch number.
he opens it, not sure what would be inside, the first page had your handwriting again, written in red and filled with doodle hearts: my quidditch lover boy, know that wherever you play, i will always be your biggest cheerleader.
the rest was pictures, from the first one his mum took of him with a broom when he was still barely a person, his little arms holding tight to his dad. the first time he flew alone to show them. the letter he sent when he made the gryffindor team, his first captain's armband, tickets from matches he went with his father. the last picture was from his last victory, you both kissing with the biggest smiles while sirius covered you both with red paint.
it was a good thing he never pretended to be one of those emotionless guys, because his nose was red, his eyes watering as you heard him sniffing. "this... honey, this is the most beautiful thing." his fingers passed over the picture, with such care it seemed he was afraid to ruin it, he pulled you into a hug and then lifted your chin to face him, his lips touching yours like you were a treasure he needed to protect. you felt the saltiness of his tears and you couldn't help but laugh, it was just too adorable.
james let go of you, but not before kissing your whole face. he found a spot on his desk for your present, where it would be the first thing anyone spotted when looking around his room, and then took a small box and a piece of parchment from the first drawer of his nightstand. "m'feeling a tad inadequate now, mine isn't as thoughtful but... ms. euphemia did help me with it too." you laughed at the way he talked of his mum, "i wanted to give you some sort of jewelry, but everything i chose was simply grim, james darling." he gestured air quotes while trying to get his mother's tone across.
he handed you the velvet box, parchment still in hand as he waited for you to open, you were still stunned by the information he wanted to give you jewelry, you felt like your heart and your stomach were dancing and twirling around inside of you as how official that sounded. opening the box you find a beautiful, seemingly antique, silver ring, it had a red gem on top in the form of a triangle. you were completely speechless as you touched it lightly.
"m'dad proposed with that ring." your eyes widened at that, positive you were gonna pass out at any moment. "it's very old, and it's been in our family for generations, if you look closely you can see a symbol, the triangle one is for my invisibility cloak."
"james, this is beautiful, but... i can't accept this, it's a family heirloom i... it belongs to your family." you couldn't even look at him, you were out of breath, out of words, out of ways to react.
"yeah, that's sorta it. you're part of my family now." he takes the ring out of the box and slides it on your right index finger, so not to pressure you, so you knew it was a present, a promise of commitment, but not an obligation or a way to imprison you to him. "and my mum kept this for years, i had no idea, she says it's adorable, so..." james hands you the parchment finally, and you open it to see the date on top, stating it was a letter from two years before.
a letter he sent to his mum, from hogwarts, talking about you.
he went on and on talking about sometimes he felt like his heart was gonna jump out of his chest when you were around and that wasn't normal, that didn't happen before. and how he could smell your perfume before even seeing you had got into the room.
he was fifteen and down bad for his best friend and was so confused he asked his mum for advice. it was indeed the most adorable thing. and euphemia was so sure something would come out of it she kept the letter. you had to put it down on his bed so you wouldn't wet it with your tears. "you're such a sap oh my god." you said in a mocking tone even though you were the one crying like an absolute baby.
"enjoy it now, next year you're getting a simply grim necklace and a honeydukes discount coupon." james replied matter-of-factly, but his grin and his eyes showed how glad he was that you had enjoyed the gifts that much, "i love you too much, you're gonna wake up one day and m'gonna have inflated and exploded by how much." you couldn't even reply to that with anything other than a loud laugh, your hands quickly going over your mouth when you remembered how late it was.
you felt his weight over you again, but this time before he could be completely over you using you as a mattress, he slides beside you, pulling you closer to him, and closing his eyes. "merry christmas, lover boy." is the last thing you say before falling asleep in his embrace.

can't hardly wait
Summary: in which a guy named bradley likes you back on hinge...
OR a prequel fic with the first hinge messages
Pairing: Rooster x Fem!Reader
Warnings: listen i know i have a picture selected for her, i just wanted to have the ice cream comparison and went with this one. also i have all the pics on bradley's profile if you're curious 💁🏼‍♀️ he's just so goddamn cute! written for @roosterforme 's 'rocktober' event and inspired by the replacements song. don't forget to read part 1 to see how the date goes 😉 [image template (x)]
Tumblr media
Your phone lit up with a notification, buzzing in its spot on your glass desk. You glanced down at it for a moment before going back to your slide deck - until it buzzed again. It was a Hinge notification. You hadn't been particularly active on the app the last couple days, not wanting to get your hopes up yet again. But you'd made one last ditch attempt on Hinge, liking some guys who were way out of your league - before telling Max he had the go-ahead to set you up with his buddy. Leaning back in your desk chair, you swiped up on the notification.
Oh. It was this one - the pretty one. Bradley.
You scrolled back through his profile one more time, reacquainting yourself with the 6'1" brunet. He had a picture cuddling a chunky French Bulldog, one at a Rolling Stones concert, one with an older guy who was probably his dad, and one where his eyes looked like pools of chocolate, in addition to his main photo. Unbidden, a smile crept across your face. He looked kind, sweet. Even if he didn't say where he worked.
Bradley, you tested the name out.
Without further delay, you pulled up his message:
Did you only like me because I also have a picture eating ice cream on my profile? I guess that means you're not lactose intolerant?
You let out a little giggle and twirled around in your desk chair. Oh, he was sweet (and a little nerdy). No, it's because you're unfathomably pretty and I didn't think you'd actually like me back. Trying not to overthink it, you typed out a response:
bold of you to assume it also wasn't the 'stache...and that i'm not just mainlining lactaid
It was cute, a little cheeky. He typed and deleted his response a couple times, leaving you on the edge of your seat.
How far do you have UVA going in MM this year?
You pursed your lips. Hmph. And went back to scrolling his profile. Ah, there it was - he'd also gone to UVA, though a couple years before you. He also drank, didn't smoke, and was vaccinated and bi. You swiped back to the chat.
Your allegiance to UVA in any sporting event wasn't exactly top of mind, so you had to check your March Madness bracket that everyone in the office had been forced to fill out for team building. Just has you were about to say Elite Eight! Bradley messaged back:
Sorry, that was really lame. I’m not used to this.
You smiled. that has to be a line...
His reply was instantaneous. It's not, I promise! Alright give me one more try. How's this?
In the background, your computer pinged with multiple Teams message notifications, but your eyes remained glued to your phone.
Did you know the moon's actually lemon shaped? And that the Milky Way apparently smells like raspberries and rum?
It was such a ridiculous and silly fun fact that it made you smile. Time to put all that barstool trivia knowledge to good use.
no, bradley, i did not know that. do you only specialize in space fun facts or can i get something else out of you...
----------
Turns out all it took was a smattering of the world's silliest fun facts to get you hooked, and after days of texting you were at the Hard Deck. The beachfront dive bar wasn't exactly your ideal first date location, but it seemed like there was a good crowd inside judging by the excessive number of the cars in the parking lot. As it was, your Uber let you out next to a pale blue Bronco. You smoothed your hands over your dress and checked your hair one final time before heading inside.
You didn’t really date. Not in the same sense that your friends Caroline and Darcy or even Alexa and Max did. The last person you’d gone out with for more than three dates had been your ex-boyfriend Jack and even that relationship fizzled after six months. 
But there was just something about him - about Bradley - that made you think this could be something? Something about Bradley made you giggle at your phone while you read his texts and buy a new dress and get a wax for your date. 
God, please like me. I hope he likes me.
The bell above the door jingled as you entered, suddenly taken aback not only by the amount of people in the bar, but also the Navy paraphernalia doting seemingly every usable surface. Jesus. Did Uncle Sam pay everyone's tab, too?
Scooting out of the way of another group entering behind you, you bit your lip and stretched your neck, looking around the bar for Bradley. What if he wasn't there? What if he saw you get out of your Uber in the parking lot and bailed? No - he wouldn't do that. The Bradley you had gotten to know over the last couple days sent you fun facts and his Wordle score. He asked about your projects at work and what you were having for dinner. He texted with full capitalization and punctuation. At the very worst, you'd hope you'd get an it's not you, it's me text from him.
But your worry was all for naught because when you got closer to the bar, you saw him. And by some sort of miracle he hadn't seen you yet, which gave you ample opportunity to ogle because you seriously needed a minute. God, he was so pretty. His hair looked lighter in person, not as brown, his arms looked so strong even in his unbuttoned light blue oxford, and that mustache? It worked. It really worked.
And he looked nervous? His knee was bouncing and he kept glancing down at the phone propped up on his knee. 7:33pm - you were late. You squared your shoulders and cleared your throat before closing the final few steps.
"Bradley?"
He spun around on his barstool at your voice. The abrupt motion caused him to almost drop his phone, but it made you smile. Once his eyes settled on you it was like everything stopped. The bar got quiet, you didn't notice the girl next to you complaining about her drink, and the hockey game on TV faded into the background - you just noticed Bradley.
A smile crept across his face as he said your name in turn and you nodded. Your stomach was going crazy with butterflies and your heart was pounding so hard, you were convinced Bradley could see the outline through your pink dress. His voice was warm and raspy and had your insides turning into honey.
"It's nice to see you - " He gave you a full hug that was over far too soon. God he smelled so good, too. "- Here, have a seat. Do you want a drink?"
"You too." You took his hand and got on the barstool, placing your clutch on the table and glancing around the bar. "Ummm, what're you having?"
"An old fashioned - sorry," he shook himself and glanced back down at his drink sheepishly, "you just look really pretty."
You cheeks warmed under his stare and you bit your lip. If your knee nudged his underneath the bar-top then that was just an accident. "Thanks, I'll uh - I'll have a margarita?"
Bradley was either really smart or really lucky when he ordered your margarita with your preferred tequila - you only had to pipe up to request salt on the rim.
And then it was just easy. Everything just fell into place. You talked about your time at UVA - he even got you to admit that you were a Tri-Delta after he admitted to being Sigma Chi philanthropy chair -your favorite restaurants and neighborhoods in San Diego, and your job, which Bradley endearingly thought was fascinating - something you wouldn't exactly agree with, but it was flattering all the same.
And it was only because of the easy conversation and banter between the two of you that you finally felt comfortable bringing up your most burning question all evening:
“So, what’s with the bar?” you asked, looking around with a teasing smile on your face. Bradley cocked his head. “I mean, is it just me or is like every naval officer within a forty mile radius here?”
And then the night took a turn...
don't forget to read part 1 to see how the date goes 😉
a/n: so this was just something small to tide me over before i post my next fic about thanksgiving! hope you all liked it!

Someone just tried to steal my car, and honestly my first instinct was "Damn, I need me a protective Miggy to take care of this drama for me.". I just need a big, angry Miggy who is all about making sure I'm okay and my car is okay and promising to take care of it all so I can just go bimbo mode and vibe for a second amid my hectic life 🥺 ~🍄
OH NO, i hope nothing else went wrong that time ... but miggy would definitely not let that slide fr
going somewhere? – miguel o'hara x gn!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you and miguel just wanted one day away from the supernatural and life-threatening chaos that filled both of your lives–and here, at a normal, every day supermarket, did you and miguel think to find some release from all the hustle and bustle of saving the multiverse from its hypothetical demise at the hands of anomalies and villains. you two had a wonderful day so far–buying some comfort snacks for movie night, trying on silly-shaped sunglasses with miguel, trying out free samples with him as he mutters under his breath how much better his cooking or baking is compared to those samples; and generally just having a nice, quiet, peaceful day to yourselves without any disruptions.
that was, until you two saw a couple of strangers fiddling with the handles on your car and muttering to each other as they tried getting in the vehicle.
you sighed as you began to walk over to those hooligans with a big paper bag full of vegetables and with a loaf of bread in it, trying your hardest not to instinctively throw the bag at them out of anger and frustration, and try shooing them off or threatening to call security on them. you really didn't wanna do this, not when everything was going right up until this very moment; it was like the peace and calm was shattered and you were welcomed back into the real world where your car was trying to get stolen by a couple of ruffians that just wanted to make a quick getaway with a decent looking car that just so happened to be yours. though before you could take another step, miguel gently placed his big palm on your shoulder and whispered in your ear in a husky voice, "cariño, let me handle this. take a breather for a while, love." and with that, he moved ahead of you and called the thieves' attentions.
"if you two wanna rob, go do it somewhere else; somewhere spider man can take care of it in the open." he said in a sarcastic voice as the thieves turned to face him, looking all startled as they fumbled for their hand-held weapons. miguel sighed, rolled his eyes, and flicked a couple of webs from the backs of his hands at the two all conspicuously–webbing their eyes then their mouths, and eventually, their feet together, causing the two to fall over on the ground and squirm like worms.
miguel groaned as he rolled them to the side so as not to step on them. "you two messed with the wrong couple." he muttered as he looked back at you and hurried off to help you with the groceries, acting like nothing just happened, stunning you as you looked at him all fazed. "yes, mi vida? is something wrong?" he asked you as you leaned closer to him and eventually pressed your lips against his. "i love you, my big, strong spider man..." you whispered to him, along with a 'thank you, miggy', as you grinned up at him, making him all flustered and a bit shy. miguel rubbed the back of his head and shrugged as he avoided your gaze. "just doing my job..." he muttered as you giggled and put your hands on either sides of his face, bringing his head up to look at you. "and i can't ever thank you enough for it, mig." you said in a soft voice taking his hand in yours as you two walked back to the car and loaded the trunk with your groceries, ignoring the muffled voices of the thieves that tried stealing your car and getting in the vehicle.
you felt miguel's hand on yours as you set your hand down on the seat, and you looked up at him with a wide smile; though the multiverse couldn't always guarantee a peaceful life for anybody, there were sure to be loving moments like this, even moments that come after almost being robbed of your car and having your lovely partner take care of them for you so as not to exhaust nor burden you with so many problems.

Ace of Cups (Hotd x Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: An act of kindness leads you to a misterious stranger who offers to lift a block on your love life. Feeling lonely during Halloween, you decide to give it a go. Now there is a blonde corpse in the middle of your bathroom, and it turns out the corpse is not really a corpse.
Pairing: Rhaenyra x Reader, Aemond x Reader or Daemon x Reader.
Warnings: Mature language. Mentions of corpses. My first ever crack fic?
A/N: Happy Halloween! At the end of this silly set up, you have to choose a card. There are three endings. Choose wisely.
“Um. Excuse me?” You raised your hand, trying to get the couple of teens at the register to stop… Whatever they were doing. Probably making out, if making out involved pushing their tongues to the other person's tonsils. “Excuse me?”
Ugh. You hated it. Even as an adult, you find being around couples awkward. Especially if they were making out. When the couple in question was, like, half your age, it was even worse. If it were up to you, you would have left them alone and found another corner store, but you would rather not end up walking three blocks just to be able to buy a bottle of overpriced wine.
“What?” The girl pulled apart from the boy, with an annoyed expression. She took out a piece of gum and started chewing annoyingly. “What do you want?”
Despite your best efforts, your dismay must have shown on your face.
“Miss. What do you need, miss?” The girl corrected herself, rolling her eyes. But the damage was already done. You tried to force your face to remain fixed into a pleasant expression. This was not going to ruin your plans of having a pleasant night all by yourself.
“I want to pay for this. Please.” You handed her a bottle of your favorite wine. You would need it to make your night better. After all, this was the first time you would be spending Halloween completely on your own.
Having recently moved into your own apartment, it was not like you could spend the night with your family. All your friends had plans out of town or with people you didn't know. And while your coworkers had invited you out for drinks, you really didn't feel like slipping on a tight dress and wasting half your salary on overpriced cocktails.
There was no one to watch a horror movie or go out with, like you had done in previous years. Instead, you had planned to take a bath, eat some nice dinner and enjoy a glass of wine. Maybe watch a movie. Perhaps, even do a ritual of some sort, like the ones that appeared on TikTok. The energies were supposed to be stronger tonight, or so you heard.
Your self-care was not about to be ruined by a teen girl who didn't even know how to kiss. You refused.
“I am going to need some ID.” The girl rolled her eyes. She looked as done as you felt.
Cursing yourself for not having it already out, you started fumbling with your bag. This was shaping up to be a terrible day. Not only were you about to spend Halloween alone, but you were also going to have to hear teenagers, the meanest creatures on earth, have a go at you.
Good God, why couldn't you find it quicker? Your wallet seemed to be hiding under everything you had. To be able to look for it, you started taking out some things and leaving it on the counter.
“Uh… Babe. Can’t you just… Let her? She is obviously old enough.” The boy asked, sounding annoyed. He eyed your growing pile of things on the counter. A used chapstick, your keys, a pencil, crumbled up receipts. He wanted you gone, and soon. “More than old.”
And that was a bit insulting, really. The boy had chosen to remain quiet during the whole exchange, and now he interrupted just to say a rude thing? You were not even that old. But it appeared that in the age of planned obsolescence, you already were.
The girl's eyes shifted between your furious expression and her boyfriend's bored one.
“Fine.” She said. You handed her one of the crumpled bills that you had placed on the counter. “Have a good evening.” And without sparing you a glance, she handed you a receipt and started making out with her boyfriend, again.
You were fuming. There it went, your relaxing evening. You were not in the right headspace for it now. Deciding to reclaim what little of your good mood was left, you decided to take another route home. Perhaps, walking across the park might lift your spirits.
Grasping the bottle of wine and surely looking like an alcoholic, you walked out of the store. As of late, you felt terribly lonely. Living alone was hard. Not only you had to do everything by yourself, no roommates or family to fall back into, but you also had to come home every night to an empty apartment.
At first, you had been ecstatic to have your own space. You had loved your rented apartment, in a centric place of the city and decorated in a very modern fashion. You hadn't protested your landlord's condition of no pets and no changing the colors of the walls, too happy with having something of your own. The novelty of having a place to yourself had worn off after a while, and you had to face your sad little beige walls and a deafening silence.
It had not helped how busy your friends and you were. It seemed like the days when it was easy to coordinate an outing were long gone. Now with responsibilities, jobs and studies, it seemed like you only saw them once in a blue moon.
You were starved for human contact. You had been thinking lately of getting a partner, but the attention you received only discouraged you. So far, the only offerings you had gotten were from creepy guys, or people you had no interest in at all.
Taking a deep breath in, and choosing consciously to let go of the negative thoughts you were having, you took a step forward. The noise of the park was comforting. Among the chirping birds, there were the cheerful voices of children running around.
You smiled. Barely six, but there were already people in their customs. There was a couple dressed up as Danny and Sandy from Grease, and a little girl dressed as Barbie. Many of the children carried their plastic pumpkins, and you had to give them a few loose candies you had laying in your bag.
Trying to avoid disappointing more children with your lack of sweets, you crossed the park, taking the route where there were more trees. Under one, you found a middle-aged woman sitting on a bench. She was dressed in full witch regalia, pointy hat and all.
She must have been around her late thirties, with a head of dark, glossy hair and big eyes. In truth, you could not truly place her face in an age range, looking strangely young but with an air of maturity. Gorgeous, you thought. In a really intimidating kind of way.
You shook your head, trying to get rid of the thought. She was probably someone's mother, indulging her children by dressing up with them. The thought made your heart clench with longing for your own mother.
“Good evening, darling.” The woman said, taking out a cigarette. The gesture was effortless, like one made by a sixties' actress. You smiled, helplessly. You hoped one day you ended up being half as cool. “Do you happen to have a lighter? Or some spare change?”
“Oh. Um. I don't smoke, but I think…” You started searching your purse, and produced a couple of the crumpled bills. Perhaps it was the thought of your mother, or your loneliness, but you couldn't help but want to aid her. “Here. It might serve you to buy one at the corner store.”
Instead of making eye contact, the woman seemed oddly fixated on your hands. Self-conscious, you wondered if it had anything to do with your jewelry or lack thereof.
“Thank you, dear.” She took the bills from you, and quick as lighting, she grasped your hand. You didn't even have an opportunity to try to avoid her grip. “You have very interesting lines here.”
“I do?” A bit weirded out, you try to remove your hand, but she only grips it harder. The woman forces you to tilt your palm up towards her. One of her fingernails traces one of the lines on it. It makes you shiver.
“You do. Your love line is diverging.”
That doesn't sound good to you. You frown.
“Is it?” Feeling very silly for being self-conscious about your hand, you look down. You had never noticed before, but one of the lines in your hand diverges into three.
“Let me…” She reaches into her bag and pulls out a tarot deck. She shuffles hurriedly, under your bewildered eyes. Three cards fall in order. The Empress, The Devil, and The Hermit. “Interesting… And if I… Oh, I see.” Another card falls off the deck. This time, it's The Lovers.
“I am sorry… I really have to go.” Weirded out over the whole thing, you wish to leave. Things are only getting stranger, with the woman taking out the tarot deck.
“Don't.” She says sharply, her hand going back to your wrist. Surprised by her aggressiveness and the urgency of her tone, you decide not to argue. It can't hurt to entertain her a little longer. “I see a great future for you. There are three paths going forward, but you need to lift the block you have on.”
“Block?” You repeat, dumbly.
“You are lucky today is Samhain.” She huffs, pocketing the tarot deck. She searches her bag before pulling out a small sachet. It smells strongly of herbs. “Here. Bathe in this and look in your mirror tonight. When the veil is thinner.”
“The veil…?” You ask, puzzled by the entire thing.
“Between worlds, darling. Gods, it seems one has to teach you everything. Between twelve and three.”
“Oh. I don't really believe in…”
“At least keep it. And here.” She writes some numbers on a piece of paper. “If you run into trouble. The magical kind.”
Unconvinced you haven't been the victim of the most elaborate scam in history, you eye her warily.
“How much do I owe you?”
“Nothing. Nothing you will later not freely give.” She smiles, cryptically. “Have a good Samhain, darling.” And she gets up and walks away.
You glance at the bag. You don't want to be rude, but you doubt you will obey. She is a stranger, after all, and a pretty crazy one at that. As not to upset her, you pocket the bag and give her an awkward wave.
The rest of your evening is much less eventful. You get home and prep dinner, nursing a glass of wine. With everything that has happened already, you feel like you deserve it. You are generous with it, topping it at least twice.
As you curl into the couch to watch a movie, dinner and another glass of wine in front of you, the tarot reader's idea starts to sound right. You do feel lonely, and surely, throwing some herbs into a bath can't cause anything too terrible. At most, you would feel relaxed from the water and the smells.
Wine always makes you sad. Mopey, even. Tonight, your loneliness feels too tight, too solid against your chest, to be ignored. You long for someone to hold you through the night, to be by your side when things are tough. Someone to share your happiness and greatest achievements, but also your burdens. Mostly, you crave a sense of belonging. Belonging so well, your edges fit someone else's edges like a puzzle piece.
At the thought, you shake your head. Love wouldn't fix your loneliness, you think. There is something deeply alienating about the life you currently lead. Away from your family and friends, you feel unfulfilled. No matter how passionate you are about your work, it does not help to numb the longing for something more. If the perfect partner showed up, you would do the same you had done with your family and friends, and let life get in the way.
You wash your dishes. Curious, you take the little pouch the woman had given you out of your pocket. You smell it, deciding it has no hurtful contents. On your laptop, the clock reads quarter to midnight.
The tub fills as you decide to light some candles, to better set the mood. You add some Epsom salts before pouring your herbs in. The water shimmers under the candlelight in ways it should not, yet you do not notice. You mistake the swirls of colors for the herbs steeping in the water. The room starts to smell strongly of rosemary and lavender.
You enter the tub, satisfied with your choice. The heavenly smell is already relaxing you, and you congratulate yourself for taking the leap of faith. Slowly, the warm water relaxes your muscles and makes your body feel heavy. Almost too heavy. You catch yourself nearly dozing off, and decide to step out. You are alone, and you have been drinking, staying in it would be dangerous.
Careful not to slip on the wet floor, you wrap yourself in a fluffy towel and step towards the mirror. Your reflection is the same as always. If the block the woman had spoken about was a real thing, which you doubted, it left no physical evidence. You examined your face, noticing your paleness. But as your eyes meet the ones of your reflection, there is a flash of a foreign color in them.
There is a woman in the mirror. It's the same one you met at the park. She looks different now, dressed in a medieval green dress. Her lips stretch into a smile.
“I do hope you didn't choose The Hermit. Or The Devil. Oh, darling, I am so sorry. They are all bad choices.”
Someone presses a hand on your shoulder.
“Well. Better you than me. We shall meet again.” Her voice whispers in your ear, but when you turn, you see nothing.
You scream. The clock strikes twelve. A sudden spark of bluish purple that makes you turn again to face the mirror, relieved to find nothing more than your reflection. Your heart beats faster and faster, anticipating something you can't yet name.
Just as you are catching your breath, you notice that the face that is looking back at you it's not yours. You recoil, moving back as fast as you can. A loud thud echoes in your bathroom and your heels connect with something solid. You trip, screaming even more when you realize exactly what you have hit. A body. There is a body on your bathroom's floor.
You crawl towards them, shaking their shoulder and desperately looking for signs of life. You are starting to tear up in fright. The body is lying on its front, with a shocking head of silver hair. They groan.
This time, you scream so loud, your neighbors bang at your walls.
A voice then answers.
“What in the Seven Hells is going on?”
Choose your card:
The Hermit: You have decided to draw your attention inwards, in a path of self discovery. You are a quiet person, but quite bright. You enjoy learning and seek a mentor, though you enjoy your solitude. This is your next chapter.
The Empress: You are very connected to your femininity. You enjoy having beauty in your life, and the stimulation of your senses. You wish for your life to be comfortable more than anything. You are a romantic at heart. Your next chapter is here.
The Devil: You are a complex, multifaceted person. But if you could be described in one world, it is hedonist. You are very self-aware, and do not fear your shadow. If any, you embrace it. This is your next chapter.

Tumblr media
dread.
that was the name of the feeling that took over your body as you watched all the couples gathering in the hall, everyone in their own pair except for a handful of people. unfortunately, you were in that select few.
you hated valentines day. not because you hate the idea of love, but because out of all years of your life you never had a valentine. ever since you were a little kid, seeing your parents have a whole day where they showered each other in love like they were carefree made you want that for yourself.
but here you are, standing all alone, surrounded by people who weren't. tsk. it's not like you wanted a valentine anyways. the thought of pretty flowers or sweet chocolates in the shapes of heart, or cute letters that held the feelings of love and admiration, yuck! definitely not anything you desired.. not at all.
you push past the mingling bodies as you mutter curse words under your breath, annoyed by the smell of love in the air. you finally reach the door to your class, but you open it to reveal the class gathered in a circle. it intrigued you for a moment, until you realized who sat in that spot. kang seulgi, that silly girl.
god, how long have you had this crush on her and still haven't tested your luck? whatever, not like it mattered. kang seulgi was everybody's crush at this point, you were one of many. the bear was in the school dance team and she was classified as "hottest girl to roam the school grounds". curse her and her good genes. you didn't even like her for her looks.
you loved her kind soul and cute smile, and she really sealed her mark on your heart when she bought you a new folder with a teddy bear on it because these careless kids thought it was okay to rip your original one. she was one of a kind, but nowhere near your league. she didn't even really know you, you were just another student in her class, your only interactions surrounding school topics. it was whatever, you didn't care for love anymore.
when you peeked over, you spotted a bouquet in seulgi's hands, her eyes closed shut with a frown on her face. the people around her begging her to spill who the flowers were for, throwing out names as well. you felt anger rise in your chest at them clearly ignoring how bothered seulgi was. were they brainless? they should leave her alone.
you were going to walk up and give them a piece of your mind when a friend called your name. you were shocked by how loud she was, feeling embarrassed by all the eyes looking over. you walked towards her, but you were stopped by a hand.
the room went silent for a moment, the sound of whispers breaking it occasionally. you looked at the hand and trailed up their arm, all the way to their face. hm, they looked a lot like kang seulgi. wait.
kang seulgi?!
the girl held the bouquet and gave you a soft smile. "hi, y/n!"
"happy valentines day! i was going to ask you to be my valentine, but i was so scared you were going to reject me." she rubbed her nape nervously and directed her eyes to something off to the side. you just opened and closed your mouth like a fish out of water, trying to process this all while thinking of what to say.
your reaction frightens the sweet seulgi, making her sweat bullets. maybe she shouldn't have done this, she was probably making you uncomfortable!
"ahh.. sorry. i thought—i thought that doing this would have been better than asking, but it seems like it was only worse. ahem–" seulgi pushed the flowers out to you. "these are for you. i saw you looking at this flower at the flower shop and i assumed they were your favorite."
you studied the plants she held in her hands, amazed that she figured out your favorite flower, more so that she remembered that you bumped into her two months ago at the shop your friend worked at.
you took the bouquet and formulated the words in your head. "thank you." was all you said as you just looked at your dirty white shoes. you looked up and glanced around when you heard your classmates discussing amongst themselves. you suddenly felt shy under their gaze, particularly the girl who was patiently waiting for you to say something.
"could you.. maybe meet me after school?" you propose, which made seulgi's smile widen as she furiously nodded. you reflected the same expression, smiling at the bear's cuteness. it should be a crime to be so hot and so cute at the same time.
seulgi turned to return to her seat, hopping like a little kid who got candy but only she got something much sweeter.
you waited at the school gate, continuously smelling the delicate flowers. you wondered if your friend crafted the bouquet for her. just the thought of it made you blush like crazy.
"you look like a tomato." you spin in an instant after hearing seulgi compare you to a fruit. you quickly put your free hand on your cheek, trying to cool your face down. "who's making you blush like that? i'll fight them."
seulgi fighting for you? you let out a chortle, covering your mouth at the slipped laugh. she raised a curious eyebrow at you.
you ignored her question and carefully put her flowers into your bag, making sure not to crush a single petal. "i'm serious, i'll fight anyone who tries to steal you from me." she threatens with determination. you're stunned by how straightforward she was, and she saw.
"i mean—if you want to be mine that is." she lets another nervous laugh, rubbing her nape. that was a thing she often did when she was nervous, you picked up from her behavior before. adorable, a nervous seulgi, how funny.
the school crush is scared of rejection too.
"can we take a walk to the park? i just want to talk about, you know, uhm, all of this?" you rushed to say, hoping she could understand your jumbled talk. she nodded and followed your lead as you began walking in the right direction. seulgi just hoped that if you were going to shut her down, that you would let her down easy. her heart could not take the pain of rejection, she could barely handle the thought of you not liking her gifts.
"so.."
"so."
"it was you, by the way." you state.
"what was me?"
"the one who made me blush. it was you.." you felt shy repeating it out loud. "so you don't need to fight anyone."
seulgi's heart was beating so hard that she feared you could really hear it. she made you blush. fuck, she was in deep.
"when did you start thinking you liked me?" you interrogated as you paused at the crosswalk, the light red for pedestrians. you turned to meet her eyes and noticed the small height difference she had over you, the bear was just red in the face.
"i don't think i like you,"
WHAT?
"i know i like you. if you don't believe me, ask my heart." you couldn't help but fold over her cheesy words. if you knew she was such a cheeseball, you would have prepared your heart better. clearly, her effects on you were severe. you plant your face into your palms and turn away from her.
seulgi's shocked by your reaction, but she soon hears your girly squeals. "kang seulgi, where did you learn to be so cheesy?!" you exclaimed. she just watched you in adoration, loving how you were so giddy over two sentences. you cooled down and fixed your posture, trying to look unaffected by her.
"hm, i guess it runs in my blood."
the red hand turned into a green walking symbol, signaling that it was okay to cross. you began walking, yet again stopped by seulgi. she just smiled and grabbed your hand, wrapping it around her arm. you held her arm in confusion. "hold tightly when we cross, okay?"
the same heat creeped to your face once again. you started dragging her, so fed up by her gentleman-like manners. stupid seulgi and her stupid charisma.
you finally reached the park with your arms still linked. seulgi let a small cough out and when she got your attention, you realized you were still tightly holding onto her. you scrambled to untangle your arms, pretending to clear your throat. you watched her carefully set her bag onto the bench beside you, and she reached for the straps of your bag as well.
you let her take it off of you, loving how gentle and kind she was. she just met your eyes with her soft ones.
"well seulgi, thank you for the flowers. i honestly wasn't expecting to receive anything today, i usually don't get anything gifts. i didn't think anyone ever noticed me. i'm not pretty like those girls who fawn over you during your performances, or as confident as those boys would trip over each other trying to be the first to give you a compliment in the mornings." you give an airy laugh, your pained expression seen by the bear.
she was hurt that you didn't see yourself the way she saw you. seulgi stepped forward and wrapped you tightly in her arms, giving her famous bear hug to you for the first time.
"baby, don't you see? i noticed you. you are my pretty girl who sits in the library, falling asleep reading romance novels. my confident girl who hides in the dance practice rooms during lunch, singing and dancing your heart out when you think no one is watching." your eyes widen. seulgi knew you did that?! shit..
"i like you for who you are, so please don't be discouraged by others who could never compare to you." seulgi closes her eyes and enjoys your soft body, tightening her embrace. she feels you snake your arms around her waist. the two of you stood there in such a comforting position.
"baby?" you teased. seulgi whined at that.
"that's all you got?"
"hm.. you called me baby." you whisper, so happy to finally experience a feeling you thought only existed in movies.
"i did. i want to call you that forever, would you let me do so?"
you stayed silent to tease her again. she started to get antsy and tried to wiggle out of your arms to study what face you were making, but you stood firmly, not letting her escape.
"yes. i now declare seulgi as my baby as well!" you yelled. seulgi gasped and spun you in the air, the world's brightest smile on her face.
you looked around and suddenly the sky was bluer and the grass was greener. the color of the flower popped and the world was so colorful. you knew why.
the cause was standing right in front of you, grinning like an idiot. but you couldn't make fun of her when you were doing the exact same.

STUPID CUPID
My works are 14+ ONLY. If you’re under 14 DO NOT interact with me or any of my works
Pairing: Cupid!Jisung x human!fem reader
Word count: 4,000
Note: Happy Valentines Day you guys! This is an idea that’s been floating around in my mind for a month or two and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to write it. It’s Jisung’s first day on the job and he accidentally shoots himself with his own arrow (silly boy!) 🏹
Tumblr media
Valentines Day. A capitalist holiday that took advantage of people's romantic feelings for one another and profited from it. Teddy bears, heart-shaped balloons, jewelry, cards, roses, even heart-shaped pizzas. You shook your head at the thought of people going above and beyond for their significant others. While it was sweet, you often wondered why people didn't do that on any other day of the year. You shouldn't need a special holiday to do something nice for the one you love.
Valentines Day. An unnecessary day for couples to rub their relationships in everyone's faces and a complete waste of time and money. The only thing you liked about it was the chocolate. That's what led you outside on this godforsaken holiday. You may dislike Valentines Day, but there was nothing wrong with treating yourself to a little candy.
Your eyes roamed the large section of sweets, catching a glimpse of a middle-aged man with an armful of Valentines goodies hastily snag a heart-shaped box of truffles before brushing past you towards the register. You shook your head. Looks like someone forgot to get something for their sweetheart.
Your index finger hovered over a section displaying your favorite chocolate, your mouth watering at the sight. When it came to treating yourself to snacks, you hardly had boundaries, always grabbing whatever it was you wanted without giving it a second thought. Besides, you worked hard for the money you earned and you intended to spend it.
Perusing the aisle for a few more seconds, you grabbed some other favorite sweets of yours before heading to the chip aisle for a salty snack for later after you get into all the chocolate. Any time you overindulged on sweets you found yourself scouring the pantry for something salty to balance it out and vice versa. It was a never-ending cycle sometimes.
With an armful of snacks and sweets to last you two weeks, you headed to the register where a teenage boy stood, typing away on his phone. You didn't mean to be nosey, but your eyes instinctively glanced down at his phone screen only to see a plethora of hearts spammed on iMessage.
The boy was quick to lift his head, locking his phone and shoving it into his pocket while sputtering apologizes.
"Sorry about that. I, uh, have a date tonight with my girlfriend."
"That's nice." You smiled, trying to be polite.
You weren't sure why he decided to say that, as you were a total stranger, but it was nothing to get upset over. He could've been caught off guard by your presence and blurted that just because he was nervous, or perhaps this relationship was fairly new and he was just excited about going on a date. Either way, you put on a friendly smile and acted as if that little tidbit of information didn't bother you.
The automatic doors to the store slid open as you walked out with a plastic bag in your hand loaded with delicious candy and junk food that you couldn't wait to get into once you arrived home.
Jisung was brimming with excitement. His first Valentines Day on the job. He had spent an entire year training for this and he couldn't contain his enthusiasm. He counted his arrows three times to make sure he had enough, and if he happened to run out, he could always conjure up more. He checked the heart-shaped watch strapped to his wrist, tapping the touch screen to make sure everything was working and in tiptop shape.
"Han Jisung."
The cupid perked up upon hearing his name, standing at attention.
"You don't have to do that." Minho informed him, his expression showing little to no emotion.
"Sorry."
Minho was one of Jisung's friends and had been working as a cupid for years. He was professional, experienced, and knew everything there was to know about being a cupid. Jisung looked up to him and always asked questions when he had them.
"You're on the clock in approximately two minutes. Are you ready?"
"I'm more than ready." Jisung responded confidently. "I'm prepared. I'm equipped. I'm all set. I'm hot to trot!"
Minho gave his friend a once-over before responding with, "O...kay."
Jisung's shoulders relaxed as he let out a deep exhale. "I'm a little nervous."
"Everyone always is on their first day. It's normal."
"What if I do something wrong?"
"You won't."
Jisung nodded, hoping Minho was right.
Minutes later, Jisung found himself perched in a tree, his legs swinging back and forth while he waited for his watch to go off.
The cupid chose to bide his time by wondering who his first client would be—that's what they refer to their targets as. After all, "clients" is a much less morbid term.
Would they be a boy? A girl? Younger? Older? Maybe someone who hasn't found love yet and is still waiting for the right person? Oh, Jisung would love to help someone, both young and old, start a new and exciting chapter in their life.
His train of thought was derailed immediately as soon as you came sauntering down the sidewalk. His eyes followed you for much longer than he intended, unable to look away. He had seen humans before but none of them were as entrancing as you.
His watch beeped, bringing his attention back to the task at hand. He tapped the small screen and an image of a young woman was displayed on it. The heart-shaped watch was technologically advanced and would pick up the presence of an approaching individual that was set to be struck with a love arrow. Each watch was programmed specifically for the cupid that wore it.
Jisung reached for his quiver strapped to his back and pulled an arrow from it, sliding it into place on his bow. Rearing back, he aimed the bow clutched in his hands, releasing a breath before subsequently releasing the arrow, watching as it hit his intended target in the back. She stopped in her tracks, jostling slightly due to an invisible force which she couldn't see.
A man was headed down the street towards the woman just a few seconds later, an image of him promptly flashing on Jisung's watch. The cupid was quick to jump into action, pulling out another arrow and sliding it into place. He aimed and waited for the man to get closer to the woman before shooting the arrow. The man jerked a bit, bumping into the woman who was unable to pay attention to her surroundings due to Jisung's previous love arrow seconds earlier. Perfect timing.
He watched from his spot in the trees as they both sputtered apologies to each other with gleaming smiles on their faces along with a shared lovestruck expression.
I did it. Jisung thought to himself proudly.
He watched as the woman said something to the man and next thing he knew, the both of them were walking off down the street together towards a coffee shop. A fond smile graced his features as he watched the couple until they entered the cafe.
Jisung then began looking around for the human girl that garnered his attention—you. When he couldn't find you, he left his post, flying above the streets while heading in the direction he saw you walking.
When he spotted you (thankfully not far away from where he last saw you) he decided to follow, wanting just one more glimpse of you since he got distracted earlier.
Jisung's bottom lip stuck out in a disappointed pout when you entered a building and he could no longer see you.
Before he could try and find out which floor you were headed to, his watch went off again, tearing his attention away from you for the second time.
The cupid glanced at his watch to see who his next client was. Loading a love arrow into his bow, he diligently aimed and released it, repeating the process when an image of his second client flashed on the screen of his watch. The two began talking which brought a smile to Jisung's face. He heard stories from other cupids about Valentines Day and how fulfilling it was to watch their clients fall in love after being struck with one of their magic arrows. He dreamed of the day he would be able to do what his seniors did and now he was. It was just as fulfilling as Jisung imagined, however, he had something else on his mind now and that was trying to locate you... again.
His eyes searched the many windows in the apartment building, hoping to see you in one of them. There were at least ten floors and twice as many windows. Jisung had no clue how he would find you.
Just when he thought all hopes were dashed, he caught a glimpse of you through one of the glass panes. You were stood inside, gazing out the window at the streets below.
He promptly flew over and made himself comfortable on the grated platform of the fire escape that was mounted to the side of your apartment building.
He was thankful humans couldn't see cupids or else you'd be really freaked out to see a stranger perched outside your window. If a cupid wanted to be seen, they would show themselves and right now, Jisung preferred to stay hidden.
Your eyes followed the figure of a delivery man walking down the street with a large bouquet of roses in his arms.
What is it like to receive flowers from someone? You wondered.
The man made his way up the steps of someone's home, knocking on the front door that was pulled opened seconds later. A woman stood in the entryway, astonishment and joy flashing across her features at the sight of the ruby-colored blossoms.
"Must be nice." You commented aloud.
Back in school, you'd see girls walking around with a heart-shaped balloon and a box of chocolates or a stuffed teddy bear and a single rose. Of course, you were never one of those girls and a small part of you always wondered what it was like to receive something like that from someone.
Oh well. You had chocolate and tons of delicious snacks, you didn't need flowers. Stepping away from the living room window, you dropped down on the couch and opened up YouTube on your TV, searching for something entertaining to watch. After settling on a new video from one of your favorite content creators, you began sifting through your bag of treats, completely unaware that someone was watching.
Jisung's wide eyes observed you in fascination as you unwrapped a piece of chocolate and popped it into your mouth, savoring the sweet taste.
He knew humans often indulged in chocolate and junk food on Valentine's Day, but that was usually for the ones that were single... which meant you were alone. On second thought, maybe alone wasn't the right word, as you seemed rather content to be by yourself.
The cupid's watch went off again, startling him from his daze and simultaneously catching him off guard. He scrambled to grab an arrow, fumbling to load it into his bow. He spared a hasty glance at the image on his watch before launching the arrow, except it didn't soar through the air towards his target. Instead, it went directly into Jisung's chest. He had loaded the arrow backwards.
"Ah!" He yelped, snapping his head towards your window, momentarily worried you had heard him. However, he was quick to remember that he was invisible.
With one concern out of the way, he pulled the arrow from his chest cavity and retrieved a new one from his quiver, hastily loading it before aiming at his client. He nearly missed but managed to get a hit. Not a second later, his watch went off again. This time, he was paying attention and was able to execute his actions with no hiccups.
He breathed out a sigh of relief only to glance down at the arrow he discarded moments earlier, lying on the grates of the fire escape.
He gasped.
That's right. He shot himself with his own love arrow.
"Oh no." He grabbed his hair, tugging on the roots in a stressful manner. "Oh no."
He spared a glance towards you, still sitting peacefully on the couch watching TV.
"No!" He covered his eyes.
He wasn't supposed to look at anyone.
Now you've done it. He thought despairingly.
He was totally screwed.
"Okay, okay." He slowly released the breath he was holding in, talking out loud in order to calm himself down. "Don't panic."
He was totally panicking.
The first thing that came to mind was that he needed to notify Minho. His heart dropped to his feet at the thought, the color promptly draining from his face.
Oh no. Minho.
He placed a hand on his chest, feeling his rapid pulse beneath it.
"This isn't good. I can already feel my heart racing. The effects are already starting to take place."
He hung his head, muttering to himself while he tried to figure out what to do. Jisung knew telling Minho would be the right thing to do, but he didn't want to. If he did, he'd surely get an earful from the older cupid.
Maybe the symptoms wouldn't get bad. In fact, maybe they'd just go away.
Your loud laughter captured Jisung's attention and pulled him out of his worry-induced thoughts. Head thrown back against the couch cushions, you were clutching your stomach, letting your joyful laughter fill the apartment.
Jisung couldn't help but smile, the sound of your giggles sparking happiness and adoration within him.
Yeah, maybe he would hold off on telling Minho.
Days passed and Jisung's escapades continued. He would leave Cupid Headquarters and go off to see you, peering into your apartment from the window by the fire escape. From his vantage point, he had a good view of the open kitchen where he watched you cook meals for yourself.
He picked up on your little habits and things you did without a second thought.
Jisung's heart fluttered at the way your eyes crinkled when you laughed at something on TV or the way you spoke your thoughts aloud, giving your own commentary to no one at all.
A week was all it took for Jisung to spill the beans. While perched on the grated floor of the fire escape, he became self-aware of all the emotions he was feeling and how incredibly strong they were. Any time he looked at you it felt like a his chest was struck with an iron fist, taking his breath away. The need to be closer to you, to speak to you was so strong it was almost beyond his control.
He was infatuated.
"Minho!" Jisung shouted, rushing over to his friend and coworker, his wings flapping as fast as they possibly could.
Minho huffed, rolling his eyes. "What?"
The younger cupid came to a halt. "I did something terrible."
"I'm sure it's nothing."
"No, no. It's bad." Jisung dropped his head into his hands. "I shot myself with my own arrow. I can't believe I was so stupid! The effects are in full force. It's not working as fast as with humans but I'm really feeling it. You see, there's this girl and oh... every time I see her my heart races and I find myself watching her go about her daily life. She's so beautiful and I can't stop thinking about her. She's on my mind 24/7. I'm really falling hard, Minho. I don't know what to do. Please help me."
"Love arrows don't work on cupids." Minho produced an answer in a dead delivery, his eyes blinking languidly.
Jisung's rambling was put to an immediate halt as he stared wide-eyed at the older cupid.
"What?"
"We're immune."
"So..." Jisung trailed off. "I didn't screw up?"
"No."
"If the arrow doesn't effect me, then what does that mean?"
"It means you're in love with a human."
Jisung blinked owlishly. "In love?"
"You're a cupid, Hannie. We tend to fall in love very quickly."
"What do I do?"
"For starters, you could introduce yourself."
"I can do that?"
"If you want to. There's no rules against it. Love is love, after all."
Jisung was left to figure out how he was going to go about this whole situation and how to approach you. He laid back on his bed, running his fingers through his silver hair, releasing a sigh.
He didn't even know your name.
Maybe he could give you your favorite chocolate, assuming that's what you were indulging in when he saw you for the first time on Valentines Day.
He expelled another sigh. No. He needed something else—something better.
"Come on." He murmured.
He had been secretly admiring you for a while, surely there was something he was able to learn about you during that time.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off and Jisung sat upright with wide eyes that glimmered with elation.
Flowers.
He'll never forget that look of longing on your face as you watched that delivery man bring a bouquet to a woman across the street.
Now all that was left was figure out how he was going to introduce himself without freaking you out.
He smirked to himself.
"I could use my undeniable charms and that thing Minho said humans say. What was it again?"
"Rizz! Can you believe it?" Minho exclaimed exasperatedly, shaking his head. "I can't believe humans are using such a ridiculous word."
"What does rizz mean?"
"It's short for charisma."
Jisung hummed, nodding.
"I'm gonna rizz him up." Minho mocked, rolling his eyes. "It's embarrassing. Honestly."
"Rizz." Jisung repeated with a sly grin. "Yeah."
Wait. Did he even have rizz?
The cupid groaned in frustration. This shouldn't be complicated.
Jisung returned to your apartment the following day to put his plan in motion. The window to your living room was cracked ever so slightly. Not exactly smart or safe on your part, but convenient for Jisung who entered with ease.
In his arms was the prettiest bouquet of roses he could find. Little white tufts of baby's breath were placed throughout the arrangement which sat beautifully in a vase.
The cupid placed the arrangement on your coffee table so you could see the flowers as soon as you got home, taking a moment to spread out the cluster of crimson blossoms and make it look presentable.
Now all he had to do was wait.
You stepped into your apartment and dropped your keys into the glass dish by the door, releasing a short sigh, thankful to be home. The shoes on your feet were kicked off without a care as to where they landed while you shuffled into your living room, coming to a stop when you noticed a bouquet of flowers sitting on your coffee table.
You looked down at them perplexed, wondering how they got inside your apartment.
"Who are these from?" You wondered aloud, searching the bunch of blossoms for a card or something that indicated who the sender was.
"Me."
You jumped at the sound of another person's voice, spinning on your heel to find a man sitting on the windowsill in your living room.
Assessing his appearance, you could only assume he was some cosplayer getting paid to dress as Cupid and deliver flowers. Though this guy seemed to take a more modern approach, wearing a pair of white slacks and a pale pink shirt made of delicate tulle fabric, but the set of wings on his back was a dead giveaway.
Oh geez. Surely he wasn't one of those singing telegrams.
Wait. How did he get in your house?
You instinctively took a step back. "Who are you and how did you get in here?"
"I'm Jisung and your window was cracked."
He could see your eyes widen and knew you were about to start freaking out or throwing things at him—or both.
"I'm not here to steal anything! I only came to bring you flowers." He assured in a rushed manner before you could do anything rash.
"Why?"
"Because..."
Jisung didn't think this through. You were clearly on edge and he wasn't making it any better. What was he supposed to say?
"I'm a cupid."
He wasn't expecting to spill the beans so soon, but it's the only thing he could think to say.
You narrowed your eyes. "I can see that, but why are you here?"
"To bring you flowers."
"So did someone pay you?"
Jisung's head tilted to the side like a confused puppy. "Pay me for what?"
"To dress up. Are you one of those people who dress like cupid and deliver things?"
"No. I don't even get paid for what I do."
"And what do you do?"
"I'm a cupid."
"With those fake wings? I don't think so."
"Do these look fake to you?" He turned, showing off the set of white wings on his back.
You were prepared to say yes when you saw them twitch.
A gasp left you. "How did you do that?"
"They're attached to me?" His response was spoken like a question.
"No." You shook your head, letting out a laugh of disbelief. "You have some sort of mechanism that makes them move."
Jisung wore a confused expression the entire time you spoke. "No."
"I don't understand."
"If you need more proof, I'll let you touch my wings." He turned again, presenting them to you.
They did look real—a little too real.
You apprehensively approached the so-called cupid, holding your hand out until it made contact with the white feathers protruding from his back. He shivered lightly under your touch, feeling the sensation of your fingers ghosting over them.
Now that you were up close, you could clearly see that the wings were coming out of his skin which was exposed due to the way the shirt was made, the fabric draping down low to reveal his (very muscular) upper back.
"Do you believe me now?"
You pulled your hand away, nodding wordlessly, unable to speak.
"I'm sorry if I scared you. You see, I first saw you on Valentines Day and ever since then I've been observing you from right there." He pointed to the metal fire escape just outside the living room window.
What? No. You would've known if someone was watching, especially if they were right outside your window.
"I never saw you."
"Cupids can't be seen unless they want to be. That's how we do our jobs."
Just as you were prepared to question him, he disappeared, causing you to stumble back in surprise.
"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" He reappeared, apologizing profusely. "I just wanted to show some proof."
"Why were you watching me?"
The tips of Jisung's ears tinted pink.
"Well..." He chewed on his bottom lip. "I like you. I just learned that cupids tend to fall for people quickly which is why I couldn't seem to stay away. Once I laid eyes on you, it was like a magnet was pulling me."
This was a lot to process.
"I needed a way to introduce myself and I saw the way you looked at that delivery guy with the flowers on Valentines Day, so I thought a bouquet of roses would be a nice gift."
He was watching you then? Suddenly you felt a little embarrassed.
"I've never received flowers from someone."
"Well, now you have. I would've added a card but I don't know your name."
"It's Y/n."
At last, the pretty girl Jisung had been swooning over had a name.
"Well, Y/n, I'm sorry for startling you. I'll let myself out."
"Don't leave."
He paused.
"You can't just tell me you're a cupid and not expect me to have questions."
A bright grin spread across Jisung's face. "What do you want to know?"

You belong with me(George Weasley) Part 1
Paring: George Weasley X Longbottom!Reader X Cedric Diggory.
Summary: your best friend George knows you deserve better. He wants to be that 'better' but to scared to say but after a burnt hand truth may come out. (A.U where Cedric doesn't die)
Prompts: 1.0) “I mean, it's nice they found each other Sometimes you fall for someone you'd never expect, but that doesn't make it wrong. Doesn't everyone deserve to be happy?”
1.6) “I need to know if it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.” - “in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are”
This is for my buddy Ashlee, who hates Cedric with every fiber of her soul for no reason. There's no much Cedric bashing but he's not perfect in this story.
Potter MasterList
Tumblr media
--------(Potions Class, Snape)--------
I silently sat in my seat waiting for Professor Snape to start the lesson. He was running unusually late so that ment the class was mixed up and being social. Come to think of it this is the most talkative the class has ever been.
Except me, my boyfriend Cedric did most of the talking but ever since the tournament I've only been there to benfet him. It's technically not his fault really but what hurt was he wasn't around anymore. He would show a bright smile and laugh whole heartedly to anyone who would listen but then be too tired for anything else.
His laughter continued as he had his back to me taking to Harry and a couple of Hufflepuffs. Not complaining I silently read my book. It was a Muggle book professor Lupin gave me called The Outsiders. I was nose deep when something snapped against the hard-back cover.
I peaked from behind the book and saw a rubber band. I smiled already knowing it was my best friend George Weasley. I rolled my eyes as George leaned twords me from the desk that was acrossed from mine.
“hiya, George” I nodded my head twords Fred as I moved over to their table. Cedric didn't even realize my absence. “hay freddie”
As few minutes went on the twins explained their new product ideas and different renovation ideas for the shop they're gonna open when they're done with school. I nodded happy holding on to every word. Honestly I could listen to them talk all day, especially George. The three of us had been best friends since our 1st year and they never failed at making me laugh or made me feel out of place.
“in your seats everyone” Snape said as he stormed in the the room making everyone quite.
“the man sure knows how to make a whole room speechless” Fred mumbled. I snorted trying not to laugh out loud.
Snape whipped around book in hand. “turn to page 934”
Everyone did and 934-935 was covered with pictures and scribls of writing of a potions. A shape shifting potion to be exact. I raised an eye brow as me and Cedric read off the ingredients and the uses for the potion.
“this is unusual” Cedric mumbled. I just shrugged at the first words he's said to me all morning.
"as you can tell it's a little bit more complicated than your silly little minds can handle” Snape insulted. No one batted an eye as it was usual for him to treat this class in such manner. And yes, this class was mostly Hufflepuffs and had only a few Gryffindors.
“so you'll be working in groups” a couple of people nodded with no emotion and the others sighed in realife.
“this is an easy A” Cedric whispered. I nodded with nothing else to say. I was relieved that he wanted to pair up, it gave us extra time together but part of me knew I'd end up doing half of it while Cedric socialized. Even if he intentionally did it or not.
Our happy faces dropped slightly as Snape continued. “I'll be asing partners. Take a seat next to them when I can your names” a few brave people groaned and others just rolled their eyes.
“Diggory your with Chan” I felt my stomach turn as I heard the paring. I knew Cedric would never betray me like that but I see how Cho Chan looks at him. She gave him the same look Cedric gave me long ago.
Cedric patted my hand and left to set next to her. I gulped as Snape read off the names.
“Potter and Jorden”
“Brown and Johnson”
Snape then looked up and eyed the twins. They looked unfased and continued the stare down. “if you two think I trust you to be partners in this particular Potion you got another thing coming... Weasley and Longbottom” he said refusing to me.
Fred raised his hand in a smart-ass sort of way. “excuse me sir but... Which one”
Snape sighed and pointed to George. “which ever one you are work with Y/n Longbottom, the other one can go with Finnigan”
George happy sat next to me. I set up from my slouched potion and handed him a quill with as he flipped through his book.
“get started” Snape said bluntly.
As I was reading the steps I feel something soft touch my cheek. I batted away and continued reading. It came back again and this time it tickled more. I giggled and pushed the quill out of George's hand.
He laughed as he successfully got my attention. “which cauldron do you want to use?”
“we can use yours a guess” George nodded and got up to get his from his previous spot. As he did Cedric stared daggers into the ginger.
---☆☆☆☆☆☆☆---
The cauldron boiled a Creamy white liquid as I grinded and cut up the different ingredients for the spell. On my right was George stirring the pot and reading the book.
“what do they mean shread something pure?” Cedric said getting a little too stressed over the potion. This class had never been his strong suit, which is why it would have been an 'easy A' if we were partners.
“your supposed to shread the dandelion” I said walking next door to his table. Right when I went over to help Cedric and the cauldron explode and the hot liquid splashed on my hand. I hiss and jerked beck into George's chest.
I held my hand as the cauldron dumped all over the floor. George quickly pulled me back from the steaming puddle. Cho and I coughed from the steam as Cedric stood there dumbfounded.
“Weasley take miss. Longbottom to Madam Pomfrey, and for the love of Godric clean your mess Diggory”
“y/n im sorr-” he started but George pulled me along towards the door.
“watch what your doing next time, Champion” I hear Fred say as we leave for the Infirmary.
Dispite the burning I felt on my hand I felt security as George walked next to me with his arm around me. I felt my heart sweal as he wrapped my hand in his red handkerchief and continued to ask me if I was alright.
“seriously, I'm fine Georgie” I chuckled as he opened the door to hospital wing. He smiled brightly as he held the door for me.
“madam Pomfrey, we got a Burned hand” George called out. The older woman sighed from the back and the sound of her foot steps followed. “What did you boys do now?”
She looked surprised as she saw me clenching my hand as stood next to George. “my dear what happened?”
“Diggory Knocked a hot potion onto her hand” George said looking visibly upset. Madam Pomfrey led me to one of the beds and George followed without hesitation.
George helped me on the bed as Pomfrey brought a stool to set in front of me. “let me see, Dear” she said softly. I hissed as the fabric left my red hand. You couldn't miss Pomfrey's expression as she examined my hand. I looked down for the first time and my eyes bugged out.
On my first two fingers had a thing strip of red coiled all the way up from my nails from my knuckles and the whole top of my and and thumb was covered in a deep red with white blisters.
She sighed sympathetically as she carefully studied my hand. “What potions were you using Dear?”
“it was supposed to be a shape shifting potion” I sighed. “Diggory's didn't go as planned, Godric knows what was put in that heaping pile of crap” George said butting in. The more the thought of it, the angry he got and thst didn't go unnoticed.
“did you breath anything in?”
I nodded thinking back when Cho and I were coughing and hacking from the steam from the potion.
“well, I can use a spell to transfer the heat out of your skin, then we'll put an ointment on it, but since we're not quite sure what was in the cauldron you'll have to say the night or just intill the potion leaves your system” Pomfrey explained.
Next she pulled out her wand and gently touched it to the tip of my finger. She gently pulled back before anything happened. “this usually hurts so brace yourself”
The tip of her wand touch my finger again and this time I grabbed George's hand with my good one. The pain wasn't as bad as imagined, but It felt like someone was pulling hot needles out of my hand.
After a few seconds she was done but there was still white and red puss like things that clinged to my hand. I looked at it in disgust as Madam Pomfrey gently coated my hand on ointment the rapped bandges over it.
“after dinner I want you to come back and then we'll decide if you have to stay over night” Pomfrey said. Me and George both nodded as he helped me off the bed.
“keep an eye on that poor girl, George” Madam Pomfrey yelled as we left. My cheeks dusted red as George closed the door behind us. He look equally red but tried really hard to hide it.
It wasn't awkward or anything, we were close friends and the whole school basically knew we were best friends. But knowing that George went out of his way to take me to the hospital wign and even stayed when he didn't need to made the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.
“so, your on first name bases with Madam Pomfrey know?” I asked playfully bumping his shoulder with mine. All the professors and staff usually referred to as with our last names so I was genuinely curious.
George chuckled and looked down. “yeah, when your Pyro maniacs like my brother and I you end up in the hospital wign for miner injuries.”
I nodded remembering all the times him and Fred would disappear after a practical joke gonne wrong or when one of their fireworks backfired.
George laughed and wrapped his arm around me. “let's get some dinner, I'm starving”
“same, let's go”
As we walked into the great hall it was already fairly packed. I looked over at the Hufflepuff table and spotted Cedric getting tugged around by his 'fans' as they flashed around their 'Potter stinks' pins around.
My smile fell as he was once again busy. It was a big room, I knew that much so there was no reason to get upset with him. George shook his head at him and pulled me to the Gryffindor table Where our brothers, Hermione and Harry were.
“heard about the hand, you okay Sis?” Neville asked as I sat down across from him. I gave my little brother a reassuring look and nodded. “I'm fine Nev”
“that's not what Pomfrey said...” George mumbled. I nudgged him as Fred who was setting on the other side of me gave me a concerned look. I elbowed him then looked at my friends worried faces.
“I'm seriously fine, she just said I might have to stay the night because we didn't quit know what was in Cedric's Cauldron.”
Hermione eyes widened with consern. “Cedric did that?”
“really?” Neville asked surprised but also had a hint of anger to his voice.
“it was an accident!” I sighed.
“well that accident might keep you in the hospital wign tonight” George said taking a bite of his chicken.
As dinner was coming to an End my stomach started to turn and my chest felt like it was tighting around my heart the harder it pounded.
I gulped and set my fork down as the voices around me started to sound muffled then none existent.
“y/n!”
---☆☆☆☆☆☆☆---
“come on love” George's voice said faintly.
I winced as pounding progressed in my head. My eyes fluttered open as I adjusted to the sunlight that shined through the many windows.
I turned to my left and saw George's bright smile. Behind him was Neville, who was passed out in the bed next to mine.
“Hey, Darling how are you feeling?” I slightly smiled at the ginger I called my best friend.
“Why didn't anyone tell me?!” Cedric said suddenly making me jump by the sudden noise. Cedric then ran to my bed worried. George set back in his chair extending the space between us.
Cedric ran to my bed side and took my hand. His eyes full of concern and his expression was frazzled. He sat down next to me as George stared him down.
“he didn't seem to concerned yesterday, she's here because of him”
“thanks for staying with her Mate” Cedric said bringing George back to reality. George forced a smile at him but he couldn't hold back the sarcasm.
Before George could say anything Harry and Ron both peaked their heads in the room. “George, Neville Professor McGonagall is looking for you guys”
Neville set up from the bed beside mine and gave me a hug goodbye. “oh, how you feeling?” Ron asked. I smiled and held my thumb up.
“I'm good here, I'll catch her later” George responded. Cedric raised en eye browe. His face held a hint of jealousy as George stood his ground.
“it's fine go, I'll be here with her” Cedric said like he was trying to mark his territory. He stared down George and such a way I've never seen Cedric do.
“oh that makes me feel so much better” George mumbled under his breath. Cedric gave him a questioning look. “sorry, didn't catch that”
“nothing, I'll come by later N/n” George huffed as he lefted with his younger brother.
---☆☆☆☆☆☆☆---
“ced, let's go!”
“yeah, mate let's go”
Cedric's Friends continued to call him as he sat at my bedside. He looked over his shoulder and chuckled as his Hufflepuff friends flagged him down. He then looked at me with a questioning look. Not wanting to fight and feeling slightly hurt that he'd leave so quickly I just forced a smile.
“go ahead, I'll be here” he smiled big and kissed my lips passionately. “thank you love”
I stared at burned hand with a sorrowful. As soon as I heard the door latch I let the tears fall. Everything seemed to be hitting me and sitting here made me think. I felt hurt on how easy Cedric left, like I was second priority. But with George he never wanted to leave.
I couldn't shake the thought of how easy It is to be around George Weasley... How safe it is. He always knew how to make me smile or laugh no matter what I was feeling thst day. I loved how his brown eye held so much love and humor. His eyes could be so lively and loving and barely show any fire or hate.
“what's wrong my dear?” Madam Pomfrey voice said suddenly said. I turned my head towards her and the words started falling uncontrollably.
“I kissed him, but I wanted it to be someone else... Dose that make me a bad person?” I mumbled. Madam Pomfrey gave me a soft expression.
“no, I doesn't” she said softly. She smiled turned around. She turned back when I spoke again. I couldn't shake the feeling romance was pointless. Are boyfriends and girlfriends just supposed to be on the side lines till their partner wants them? Is there such thing as love? I think love is what I feel when I'm around George.
“I need to know if it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever.”
Madam Pomfrey turned around with a small smile “in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are”
“your still young dear, you'll find that someone” I nodded as she left.
Her words running through my brain over and over again.

Wally Darling x Plushie reader one-shot
Tumblr media
Just a little scenario from my book;
Wally spends the night at your house when it rains, and it is here you learn sleep doesn't come naturally to him. Literally.
Note: I've read somewhere [or at least suspect] that Wally doesn't sleep. I like to think it's because he doesn't know how, but I'm probably wrong-
Tumblr media
"Gosh... it's raining cats and dogs out there."
You muttered to yourself, watching from your window as heavy rain pelted against the landscape. Thankfully the rainfall wasn't hard enough to be torrential in anyway, but just enough to not only drench someone entirely, but enough to make the mud and rocks around your home slippery. On top of that, the dark storm clouds overhead had obscured the moon's light, casting the forest in near complete darkness.
While you weren't a stranger to thunderstorms, you weren't used to seeing such a gloomy sight in an otherwise bright and colorful scenery.
"Cats and dogs?"
A calm voice drawled behind you, and you looked over your shoulder to see Wally approaching slowly. His head was tilted, peering out the window you stood in front of, confusion evident in his eyes. "...But I don't see any cats or dogs out there..."
"It's just a metaphor, silly. It means it's raining really hard." You chuckled softly turning to fully face him, your smile fading to a look of curious concern. "I'm glad I managed to find you in time. What were you doing so far away from the neighborhood anyway?"
"Ha ha," Wally gave a shy, monotonous laugh and unconsciously itched behind his head looking to his feet. "I was trying to look for a new muse to paint... I didn't know the woods were so deep." His smile dimmed subtly, his face now showing concern. "I hope home isn't too worried."
"Oh, don't worry! Tomorrow when the storm clears, we'll explain what happened!" You assured cheerfully, placing a paw on his head. "I'm sure he'll understand."
He looked up, his usual drowsy smile widening with warmth. "Thank you again for letting me stay the night, fluffy neighbor."
"Oh, its no trouble! I love a good sleepover!" You patted his head lightly, careful not to mess up his pompadour. "Are you comfy with my PJs though?"
Wally looks down at the (color) night shirt you had offered him. It hung loosely on his small body, looking like more of a gown than a shirt. "A tad big." He spread his arms so he can see the (color) (shape) on the chest. "But I like it."
You smiled with relief and motioned you to follow him. "Come on, let's get to bed."
As you walked to your bedroom, Wally stood for a moment before following you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you have enough room, Wally?" You scooted over slightly. Even though the bed was just big enough for two, Wally was pressed quite closely into your side. "Are you sure you don't want me to sleep on the couch?"
"No, I like this better. You're really fuzzy and warm. Like Barnaby." He answered, pressing himself into you. "And you smell nice."
"Oh..!" You were mildly taken aback by the bluntness of Wally's reply, but chose to view it positively. "Thank you... well then... goodnight, Wally."
"Goodnight, (Name)."
You sighed softly, shutting your eyes letting yourself succumb to--
"...I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping..."
Your eyes opened, as you heard a soft whispering break the relatively quiet atmosphere. It was so soft you nearly thought you were hearing things, but straining your ears over the patter of rain, you managed to make out the words yet again.
"...I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping... I'm sleeping..."
You blinked a couple times. Was... this a joke of some sort?
"Erm... Wally?"
"Yes?" He answered after a pause.
"Uhm... what... what're you doing?" It was a silly question, but you only asked for assurance.
"I'm... sleeping...?" He answered, though it sounded just as uncertain as you did.
"Ah. Uhm... Wally, you kinda have to be quiet to... sleep." You said somewhat slowly, hoping you wouldn't offend.
"Oh. Okay." He replied quietly. "My bad."
"It's okay, neighbor." You assured, closing your eyes again. "Goodnight."
"...goodnight."
~~~~~~~[30 minutes later]~~~~~~~
"(Name)...?"
Your ears flicked as you were awoken from the semi-deep sleeping trance at that familiar whisper. Only it wasn't on your one side.
It was in front of you.
"Are you awake?"
You opened your eyes, and was startled at the pair of illuminating white sclera over you.
You then came to realize he was laying on your belly.
"Er... now I am." You replied, blinking a few times as the (shape) marking on your head lit up a soft (color) glow.
Once the room was lit, you saw his eyelids were slanted into a modest expression and his smile, while still there, was much less prominent.
He looked... troubled.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
He blinked, hesitant.
"...I can't sleep."
"Oh? What's got you up?" You sat up, feeling a sense of concern. "Are you not comfy? You're not too hot? Too cold?"
This eyes darted to the side for a moment then back to yours. "No... I can't sleep." He emphasized the word, playing with a strand of your fur in his fingers.
You squinted, confused. You processed his words, lifting your brow. "You... Can't sleep...?"
"No... I... don't... sleep." He said it slowly, lowering his gaze to his hands, seemingly embarrassed to admit such a thing.
"A-Ah." You uttered. It was quite a hard hitting statement, since you've never heard of such a thing. "Well then... you can just... lay on my belly and try to relax."
Wally hummed, resting his cheek on your belly. "Like this?"
"Yup!" You gently patted his head with one paw, while wrapping your arm around his back with the other, putting him in a soft hug. "Now... Just close your eyes and... try to clear your mind." You advised, staring up at the ceiling. "Try to focus on listening to the sound of the rain on the roof... it's usually really soothing."
You went quiet for a moment, listening to the light pitter-patter of rain yourself, turning your head to the window by your bed, watching the still steady rainfall beating down on the forests around your house.
"Is that helping, Wally?"
"A little." Came Wally's quiet reply. "But I like the sound of your voice better."
"Oh!" That gave you an idea. "Why don't I sing for you?"
You felt Wally nod, and you turned your head to look back up at your ceiling wracking your head for a lullaby.
You grinned as one came to mind.
You cleared your throat softly, and with a deep breath, you sang softly;
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, Lull'd by the moonlight have all passed away...
Your soft, slow singing filled your room, and the soft pattering of the rainfall complementing the calm atmosphere as the dim (color) light started to fade to other colors, cycling between teal, blues, red, purples and reds, filling the room with a comfortable light.
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng...
As you sang, you idly caressed Wally's head, your other paw rubbing in circles on his back.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me...
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me...
You trailed off as you squinted. "...I... forgot the other words." You pouted slightly. "I'll have to ask Barnaby for the rest of the song."
"Was that good though?" You looked down at the small puppet on your tum.
Tumblr media
You smiled. "That's good."
You let out a small sigh, laying back as you felt the slow rise and fall of his chest on your tum, hearing the faintest of snores emanating from him.
"Goodnight, Wally."

Reader’s a bunny plush here due to the poll, but if you’d like to be another animal, the asks are open.

Yoooo there. Fancy meeting you here. Remember that shape shifter fic with Asa, could you do a fic only for him where he spend his day pestering his so with so much transformation,that even the day after reader is stuck repeating the information they learned? Please?
☆ I can't describe how much I love writing for reader with powers. Sorry for this being so late, I hope you like it! ☆
Asa x Shapeshifter GN!reader

-> Warnings: Spiders and Butterflies!
-> Words: 7k
Please tell me if you find any mistake
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I need these done for my research"
A stack of paper was left with a loud thump on your desk, just in front of the work you were doing. You rose your sight and you met with Asa. He looked serious, his arms crossed and the pen he used to write the lists rested on his hand.
"What...? This is a lot" you mumbled as you quickly passed the paged and dived through the names. You could start feeling lightheaded just by reading all the specimens he wanted.
"Most of them are rare individuals and almost impossible to find, legally or not.", his sight went to a frame he had hung, full of colorful dissect butterflies, every one gently pined to the cork behind as their scientific name was written below with an elegant handwriting. His sight then returned to your eyes as he continued, "You don't need to do them all, but it would be very helpful. Think about it." And with that, he left your workspace and returned to his office to continue to recopy some researching notes in a clean notebook.
You thought about it for a moment, it wouldn't really hurt to develop your shape-shifting a little, right? Maybe it could even be helpful for you too to practice some new bodies.
-
And so, after a few minutes of meditating it, Asa found himself staring at a blue morpho butterfly that casually landed in front of him. As soon as he saw it, he recognized you and appreciated your favor.
He rised his hand gently, careful not to hurt you, and set you on a clean and illuminated counter full of different sizes lenses, grippers and other tools.
He examined the butterfly's wings, colours and everything he could think of and noted it all on a little notebook, along with little drawings.
When he finished, you transformed into another suggestion. And then, into another and, then, into another one. You went through insects, arachnids, mammals, reptiles and even a few birds until you finished the list.
And so, you spent the whole day posing in different shapes for an excited Asa that took his long time analyzing every specimen and taking little notes about each one of them.
You had only paused a couple of times, just for eating something and drinking some water, but Asa was so focused that didn't seemed to even care.
When you finalized the list and Asa let you rest you were completely exhausted, the thought of not even being capable of returning to your usual human form alarming you.
Of course, your efforts were thanked and Asa promised you not to bother you with shape-shifting the next day so you could rest and he even offered himself to help you with the work you were doing previously in exchange of all the time he made you lose.
When you finally headed to your shared room you fell deep asleep as soon as the bed touched your body, and your mind greeted the well deserved relax.
-
The morning after you were woken up because of an unusual feeling of smallness. The moment you opened your eyes the sight of your "hands" confirmed your theory, you accidentally adopted the form of a small animal while sleeping, being it casually one of the animals Asa asked you to transform into.
Confused but too tired to care or even try to return to your usual form, you headed to the kitchen, where Asa was brewing some coffee. When he turned his sight to the little scaly mammal he couldn't help but to quirk an eyebrow at you with a confused grin.
"Didn't expect you to like so much being a pangolin." He spoke as he crossed his arms and leant on the kitchen counter, curiously peeking how you tried to climb on a chair and gave little taps with your paws on the table surface, reclaiming being hungry and asking for some food.
"Don't tell me you got stuck in that?" He asked as he opened the fridge and grabbed some ham "I don't serve termites today so I'm afraid you'll have to shift into something else that can digest this" He told you as he placed a little plate with the ham before you.
You gave a little annoyed grunt in response and clenched your eyes, focusing into your human form, but you could hear Asa chuckling as soon as you managed to transform and the moment you opened your eyes you understood his reaction. Everything got bigger and you could feel the strong smell of food around. You accidentally were now not a human but a- "What a beautiful Poecilotheria metallica, dear, but I don't think it's what you were thinking on, is it?", you heard Asa say. Frustrated but most of all hungry, you ate how you could your breakfast, earning a lot more chuckles from Asa.
You were mad at Asa for forcing you too much, it was all his fault for not letting you rest so, when you finished your breakfast, you jumped off the table and headed to Asa.
Maybe you were not capable to talking to him but he would indeed understand your irritation.
Asa looked your tiny form approaching him quickly but his blank expression told you that you weren't just physically able to intimidate him.
"Uh? Where are you going?" He asked curiously as your eight-legged form crept up his leg. You stopped at his shoulders, where you were picked up by his gentle hand.
"Instead of being angry at me because you're too tired to properly shape-shift," He started, his thumb gently caressing your head while you laid on his palm, "You could consider this a day-off from humanhood."
You moved your legs quickly as a form of offense by his excuse but his caressing soon calmed you again but as he was feeling your discomfort, an idea occurred to him. He moved his hand to his shoulder again for you rest there and made you a proposal as a way to apologize.
"How about you accompany me the entire day? You always say you are curious about my work. Besides, a so gorgeous tarantula is the best companion an entomologist could wish for.", he pauses for a moment before caressing your head again, "Although you're not precisely an insect I'm sure every student and professor would love to see such a rare specimen. Needless to say that you're completly allowed to bite them."
You expressed your affection to him by nuzzling your head and body on his neck, since you were not able to talk, and his grin showed you that he understood your action.

You stood on his shoulders all while he was getting ready for work, only climbing to his head the moment he had to put on his jacket. He grabbed the house keys and took his work briefcase before giving you a few gently pats and opening the door.
"Hold on tight and be careful to don't fall. It's going to be a long day and we don't want you to get lost in such a valuable shape."
You entered his jacket pocket and took your head a bit outside so you could curiously peek the outside world.
And with that, you both headed to the University, where you would sure be really appreciated and greeted with pets and compliments from anyone you would meet.

"Warm Touches"
-
Part 1 | Part 3
-
OCs x F!Reader
-
You are a young woman who also happens to be a witch- ending up with you in a college of mythical beings... {This story is gonna be silly chaos and will be aimed at my fellow bisexuals.}
-
Warnings: None.
-
"Soooo, how's it going?"
"Stressfully."
"Oh, come now... It can't be that bad. Have you seen any cute guys?"
"The only guy I've interacted with, barely, actively jump scared me by coming out of the wall like a weirdo. Seriously, how does someone not realize that'd be terrifying?"
You were laid on your bed chatting up a storm with your aunt, her laughter over the phone was rather infectious at least. You've found from getting to know her that she has a sort of bright outgoing personality. Your family history is still a touchy subject though, so many secrets that you want to prod at but avoid... Perhaps it's better to leave things alone.
But why would your mother leave the family behind to live a normal human life?
What happened to your father?
Why'd it take so long for your aunt to find you?
"Well, maybe the poor boy needs a lesson on manners."
You're snapped out of your thoughts by her comment, blinking you snort with a disbelieving laugh.
"He's old enough he should know by now."
"Should and does are two very different things, dear."
"Yeah, yeah. I just don't have time to deal with meeting people right now. It's too much."
"Of course. Just don't totally bury yourself in books, forming bonds is good for you."
"Is it?"
"You're a very sassy young woman.... Much like how I was when I was your age."
Some more soft laughter before you said your goodbyes, hanging up the phone with a click and plopping it down beside you.
After a couple moments of careful contemplation, you step outside of your room and make your way down the corridor. Your footsteps aren't exactly quiet, the thuds filling the otherwise eerily silent space. It's only afternoon time so you expected to see more people up and about.
Suddenly you are greeted by the soft scent of vanilla lingering in the air accompanied by something you could describe as similar to the smell of leather. You feel the sudden need to satisfy the intense burn of curiosity within yourself, carefully seeking out where the smell may be coming from.
This is a totally normal thing to do... Wandering around after a smell like a dog... Yep.
You end up at the door to the library which is cracked open, the smell obviously coming from in there. You try to open the door quietly-
CREAK
Ah... Well, so much for quietly.
You're greeted by the site of a tall slim person who's actively leaning against one of the bookshelves. They have messy long pitch black hair that reaches down just below their shoulder blades, eyes that could be best described as hazel- with little flecks of other colors dancing around the pupil in a mesmerizing display, their skin was sort of a warm beige, their face shape more of an oval.
They stopped leaning on the shelves standing up straight, an unreadable expression gracing their features... They have a more so hourglass shaped body but- all you can focus on is holy shit their tall. They have to be at least 6'9.
"Close your mouth, darling. You'll catch flies."
Your jaw instantly snaps shut and you feel like you could just curl up and die. A flicker of amusement is clear in their eyes as they gaze down at you.
They definitely have a sense of fashion as well- he's wearing a black button up shirt with the top few buttons undone revealing their toned chest, a black waist cincher that laces in the front, dark low rise jeans and black lace up high heeled boots... Then it catches your eye- he has a long pitch black tail that looks very smooth, it looks almost like latex with the slight shine to it, the odd part though is the tail has a curved blade at the tip rather than being spaded or something. Their head tilts slightly as he has a little smile on his face. Clearly they find your reaction amusing.
"I just- didn't expect to see you here."
"Mhm."
They don't buy it but at least it doesn't seem like he'll call you out on it. He moves closer and extends his hand for a handshake, the scent of vanilla and leather stronger now- they are the source of the smell... Of course.
"My name is, Sev. You are?"
You accept the handshake just now noticing how long their fingers are, his hand practically envelopes yours entirely. Without missing a beat you provide your name in return and you hear Sev mutter it under his breath... As if they like the way it rolls off their tongue, smooth with perfect pronunciation.
"Well... It was nice to meet you, Sev. I'll see you around I guess."
"You certainly will, darling."
It sounds as though it's a promise being made, an odd feeling prickling at your skin but it's not frightening or painful. Even after pulling your hand away- their warm touch remains on your skin. You hurry back to your room because well- what else do you do in this situation? Holy crap.
The scent of him also sticks with you even after shutting the door and throwing yourself into your bed. What the hell even were they? A demon?
You don't recall seeing a tail like that before... Perhaps you should go through those books again.
He could be dangerous and you just shook his hand!!! What is wrong with you?!?
Too late to take it back now...
-
{Sev is a character I've had for awhile and didn't know what to do with. They go by He/They pro-nouns in case that wasn't clear! Just wanna avoid any confusion. Also I know nothing about clothing so excuse the bad clothing descriptions.}

Fem reader
Tw: mentions of self-harm and some other things
Dazai never really cared about finding his soulmate. He feels like soulmates are a "waste of time" like dating. Sure, he may have had a crush on a girl when he was younger but he's a Port Mafia executive, he doesn't have time to date anyone. Yet, Dazai was eighteen and he still hasn't got his mark yet. Odasaku just said he was a late bloomer.
When Dazai got his mark he just looked at it and shrugged it off. He wouldn't try and waste time trying to find his soulmate. If anything, he'll just let them find him. So, the purple diamond-shaped mark stayed on his palm. Though, Dazai was curious to see who his soulmate was and how they looked, acted, and talked.
It was a normal evening, nothing new or special. Just him and Oda eating curry. Odasaku was talking about different things and Dazai was listening as he ate his spicy curry. "I've adopted a new orphan. They're sweet and they are also your age," Oda said.
"Really? A new one. I think you already have enough," Dazai joked. "But I would like to meet them." So with that, Oda brought down the girl. The girl was shorter than him, which didn't surprise him since he was tall. But the Dazai noticed something. This girl had the same mark that was on his hand.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you. I can't help but notice that you have the same mark on your palm as mine," Dazai said.
"Oh, you're right," she said before looking at her palm. "I wouldn't have expected to meet my soulmate today." Dazai's phone then goes off, it was Mori.
"I have to go," Dazai said, "Bye Odasaku." Dazai then left, going to the Port Mafia Headquarters. Dazai gets there and takes the elevator up to Mori's office. He stands in the elevator quietly, the dings of the elevator going up floors fill that silence. Finally, Dazai gets to Mori's office and gets out of the elevator before walking to the office. Inside was Mori sitting at his desk. "Ah, Dazai, I have a new mission for you," Mori said.
"What is it?" Dazai replied, "It better not require me to be with that stupid hatrack."
"I have a mission for you to get some information on another organization, they have been becoming a threat to us," Mori said as he messed with a scalpel. Without another word, Dazai did what he was told, wanting to get out of this office.
Dazai started to go over and see his soulmate more often. Dazai didn't know why he liked her so much, but he just did. Maybe he just enjoyed her company, her stories, or possibly he just likes everything about her. "Dazai, have you ever gone through something traumatic or horrible?" She asked.
"I guess, why?" he asked.
"Just wondering," she replied. She always wondered why his eyes were so dull and had very little hope in them. His eyes made him look more eerie and scary. Dazai seems scary when you first meet him but when you get to know him, he's nice and silly. But something about him made her heart skip a beat, made her breath catch in her throat, and made her want to love him. Maybe his looks, attitude, or everything about him. Maybe he was just so perfect and breathtaking to her. "Dazai, if you don't mind me asking, what is under your bandages?" she asked politely.
"Self-harm cuts and other things that include suicide," he said it so naturally, too naturally. It was quite surprising. Dazai suddenly lightens the mood with some teasing, "y'know you remind me of someone I hate the most, Chuuya Nakahara," he smirked, "He's short, ginger, and always wears a stupid hat," he snickered.
"What about me reminds you of him?" She asked confused.
"I don't know, maybe you're just short like him," he shrugged. It was silent for a bit now. They looked at each other. Dazai never thought he'd feel like this, but he feels a magnetic pull towards her. His hand moved to her's. He didn't understand why he felt like this.
"I like you a lot," he said, "You're just so... I don't know," he couldn't explain how and what he felt. Their fingers intertwined together. His thumb lightly rubbed against the back of her hand. He never thought he would ever fall in love like this. He never thought he would even love someone like this.
"I like you too," she replied sweetly. Her heart was pounding in her ears like tiny explosions. She noticed she was holding her breath. Dazai's left hand went to her waist, pulling her closer as he leans in. His lips met her's with passion. He lightly gripped at her waist and her face got red. He pulled away and he saw how red her face was.
(A couple days later when Oda dies)
Y/n was devastated to hear that Odasaku died. He was important to Y/n and now he is gone. Dazai comforted her, knowing how she felt since Oda was important to him too. They both understood each other and cared for each other when they both needed it. Y/n couldn't have asked for anyone better.
I'm not the greatest at fluff so sorry if it's bad 😔

Inotan Fanfic: Inosuke’s White Day Mission - Chapter 3
Family
Inosuke discovers that confessing his feelings for Tanjirou is a lot harder than expected, and the cringey confession penned in his name by Takeo and Hanako certainly did not help matters.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
Synopsis: It’s the day before White Day and Tanjirou is busy making chocolates for all the girls who gave him chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Inosuke thinks it’s a stupid tradition. Why should Tanjirou have to return their favours? Shouldn’t Tanjirou be making chocolates for him instead? Of course, he’s not jealous or anything. Definitely not.
Alright, maybe he is a little jealous. After all, he has feelings for Tanjirou and wants to be the one receiving his hand-made chocolates. With a little prodding from Zenitsu and some help from Tanjirou’s family, Inosuke sets out to get the perfect gift to prove that he’s the best candidate for Tanjirou’s White Day chocolates.
Pairing: Inotan (Inosuke x Tanjirou)
Setting: Highschool AU (They’re 17 in here, a couple of years older than their Kimetsu Academy counterpart)
Wordcount: 8500+ words across 4 chapters
Chapters: 1 2 3 4
Status: Complete
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
Inosuke burst into the home economics room, his breaths coming in short, ragged gasps. He found Tanjirou sitting by his clean work table, a tray of chocolates in front of him. There were several cooler bags around it, presumably filled with the White Day chocolates he had been working on.
Tanjirou looked up, his face lighting up with a bright smile. "Inosuke! I'm so glad you came back! This is all for you!" He gestured at the tray of chocolates.
Inosuke's eyes widened as he looked at the tray. They looked good in the photo, but in real life, they looked so much more delectable. The chocolates were all shaped like wild boars, with small, round heads covered in rich, dark chocolate that glistened in the light. The fur was textured and jagged at the edges, and the eyes and snouts were round beads of white chocolate. Inosuke couldn't help but grin as he admired the cute little details on each one.
"Sorry, they're kind of rushed," Tanjirou said, "but I was lucky that the home economics teacher came by and gave me some extra ingredients. I made the boar shapes with a silicone mould that I had Genya buy for me from Tokyu Hands, but it didn't have enough time to set completely. It's the best I can do for now, but next time I'll try sculpting them myself."
Inosuke listened half-heartedly as Tanjirou prattled on about his plans to make better chocolates. He couldn't stop staring at the tray in front of him. The chocolates looked too cute and delicious to eat, even for someone who loved eating more than almost anything else.
"I can't bear to eat it," Inosuke said.
"Don't be silly," Tanjirou replied. "As I said, I'll make more next time, so you'll definitely get to eat them again!"
Inosuke picked up one of the boar-shaped chocolates and examined it. It was velvety and firm to the touch, and he could feel the promise of a creamy texture as soon as he bit into it. The sweetness was just right, not too overwhelming, but enough to make his taste buds dance with joy. He closed his eyes and savoured the taste, feeling the cool chocolate melt in his mouth and warm his entire body. Despite the rush, Tanjirou had put his heart and soul into making these chocolates, and he could feel it in every bite.
Best of all, they looked special compared to the plain squares of chocolate Tanjirou had made for his White Day gifting. Kie was right, he was indeed special to Tanjirou, he thought smugly. Tanjirou watched his reaction, smiling with an air of satisfaction.
Special… Hold up. Inosuke was so distracted by the cute boar-shaped chocolates, he had almost forgotten about his mission.
He shoved the large brown paper bag with his gift inside it to Tanjirou.
“What’s this?”
"It's yours," Inosuke said, feeling a lump in his throat and his stomach churning with anxiety. He looked away and picked up another piece of chocolate, hoping that the gift would speak for itself.
Tanjirou unrolled the edges of the bag with care, revealing the beautifully crafted sunflower basket. His eyes widened, and his mouth hung open slightly. Inosuke couldn't help but grin as he watched Tanjirou's expression transform from shock to pure joy. The corners of Tanjirou's mouth lifted into a smile that reached all the way up to his eyes, which were now shining with delight. Inosuke felt a warm sense of satisfaction spread through him. The sacrifices he made to get this gift was worth it. Tanjirou would understand his feelings for him, and he would confess his own feelings to Inosuke, anytime now...
“Isn’t this Hanako’s work?” Tanjirou cut through his triumphant reverie.
"Hmm?" Inosuke remembered Hanako squealing that she had decorated it. He nodded in confirmation.
“Did Hanako ask you to bring it to me?” Tanjirou asked.
Inosuke hastened to swallow his mouthful of chocolate. “Of course not! I bought it myself!”
“Oh! You did? Thank you!” Tanjirou said, surprised. “Isn’t this expensive though?”
“Your mum gave me the family discount so it wasn’t too bad."
Tanjirou reached for his wallet, produced a 5,000 yen bill, and pressed it into Inosuke’s palm.
“What the hell?” Inosuke almost gagged on a piece of chocolate.
“I’m grateful that you bought this to support Hanako, but she’s my sister, so I should be the one paying for it.”
“No you idiot, I bought it for you ,” Inosuke pressed the bill back into Tanjirou’s hand.
“But why? I haven’t done anything to deserve it,” Tanjirou pushed the bill back.
“There’s no need for reasons to give presents. You always say that yourself,” Inosuke said as he pressed the bill back into Tanjirou’s palm.
“But this must be expensive!”
“As I said, your mum gave me the family discount, so it was all right!”
As they argued, back and forth the money went, like a game of hot potato, each person trying to force the other to take it.
“I know you prefer spending your allowance on food, so you shouldn’t waste money on gifts for me. I don’t need it.”
“Damnit, you’re just an underling! Shut up and don’t tell me what to do with my money!” Inosuke bellowed as he stuffed the bill back into Tanjirou’s hand and pushed his fingers down, so they closed over them. “Don’t you dare give it back, or I will break your fingers!” Inosuke yelled.
Giving presents to Tanjirou was exhausting, he thought. That’s why he didn’t do it.
Tanjirou's cheeks flushed. "Um...thank you for your gift, Inosuke," he said, his voice sheepish. Meeting Inosuke's gaze, he gave a small, grateful smile before stowing the bill back in his wallet. "I'll keep it and treasure it forever!" he added brightly.
"No, eat it. It's chocolate," Inosuke said wearily.
“I will!” Tanjirou exclaimed with enthusiasm. “Let me take some photos so I can preserve this forever!”
Tanjirou whipped out his phone. Soon, he was busy taking photos of the sunflower basket from different angles, while doing a running commentary on how he thought Hanako was so artistic and had good potential to become the food designer of the bakery in the future and yada yada.
Inosuke couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as Tanjirou continued to heap praise on his sister. He knew that Tanjirou adored his family and all his younger siblings, and his reaction was understandable. But it was the first time he was giving Tanjirou a gift, and he was clearly impressed with it. Shouldn't Tanjirou praise him for choosing such an impressive gift?
Tanjirou had discovered the chocolates inside the basket. He was now gushing over the whimsical design of the wrappers and the excellent presentation. "Our Hanako is so talented!" he kept repeating with excitement.
Inosuke sighed and rested his chin in the palm of his hand, trying to resist the urge to roll his eyes each time Tanjirou praised his younger sister. He regretted having finished the chocolate boars, as he now had nothing to occupy himself with.
All of a sudden, Tanjirou pulled out a square card with a sunflower on it. "A card! Let's see what it says," he exclaimed.
Inosuke furrowed his brow. He didn't remember seeing a card inside.
Tanjirou's eyes scanned over the card, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. But his smile faded as he read the contents of the card. He blushed a deep shade of red, then looked up at Inosuke with a mix of surprise and embarrassment. He opened his mouth tentatively as if wanting to say something. Then he pursed his lips without making a sound, before finally bursting into laughter. He coughed and gasped for breath as he tried to regain his composure.
Inosuke had a bad feeling about this. He snatched the card from Tanjirou and squinted at the squiggly, childlike handwriting. As he read the words, goosebumps prickled his skin, and a knot formed in his stomach.
“Dear Tanjirou, I think you’re like, the coolest person ever! You're really amazing and smart and you always achieve what you set out to do. You're kind and nice to everyone, and you make me feel warm and fuzzy. I just wish you would notice me more because I have the biggest crush on you!
P.S.: You have a smile that puts all these sunflowers to shame! :D”
Involuntarily, Inosuke clenched his fist, crumpling the card.
"Hey, don't do that!" Tanjirou grabbed the card and smoothed out the creases before any permanent damage could be done.
"I-I didn't write this," Inosuke stammered, his heart racing.
"Are you sure? It sounds like something you would say," Tanjirou teased.
Inosuke's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?! No! Of course not! I would never! Have you lost your mind?! This is so corny and cringy and awful, and-and..." he gesticulated furiously and stormed around. He recalled how Hanako and Takeo had their backs turned towards him while whispering and writing.
"It's them! I should have known they were up to no good. Wait till I get my hands on them!" He balled his fists in anger.
"Hey, Inosuke," Tanjirou said, looking at him with concern etched on his face. He took a step closer and placed a reassuring hand on Inosuke's tense shoulder. "It's okay," he continued in a soft tone as he gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze. "I was joking. Of course, I know you would never write something like that. I can recognise Hanako and Takeo's handwriting from anywhere. It's a harmless prank. Don't be mad at them."
Inosuke took a few deep breaths, his chest heaving as he tried to calm down. Tanjirou's comforting hand on his shoulder helped ground him. He focused on the sensation of Tanjirou’s fingers rubbing soothingly against his skin. The slow, steady rhythm of Tanjirou's hand lulled Inosuke into a calming trance, slowing his breathing and easing the tension in his body.
But as he regained his composure, annoyance bubbled up inside of him once more. He cursed himself for not seizing the perfect moment to confess his feelings. It would have been so easy to say, “yeah, I wrote it, got a problem?” and let Tanjirou take the lead. But Inosuke's pride and impulsiveness got the best of him, leaving him no closer to his goal.
It was all those damn kids’ fault for penning such a cringy confession that his first instinct was to deny it. Even Tanjirou had laughed at it, which only intensified his embarrassment. Couldn’t they have written something cooler? Did this really sound like something he, the great Hashibira Inosuke, would say?
Tanjirou snapped Inosuke out of his thoughts, grabbing his wrist and stuffing a fistful of chocolates into his palm. “Eat up! It'll make you feel better.”
Inosuke nodded, unwrapping a piece of chocolate as Tanjirou did the same. Tanjirou admired the charming sunflower motifs on the chocolate's packaging. He set it aside neatly before disposing of the foil below. Then he took a thoughtful sniff before taking a bite.
"Shigeru helped with this batch. He's heavy-handed with the sugar, as usual," Tanjirou chuckled, shaking his head.
Inosuke raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You can tell who made the chocolates by sniffing them?"
"I can tell if they're made by my parents or siblings," Tanjirou replied with a grin. "I've always had a sharp sense of smell."
Inosuke knew all too well how Tanjirou's sense of smell had helped him to develop a keen palate and talent for cooking. This resulted in culinary creations that left him and their friends wanting more. He took a bite of the chocolate himself. He thought it still tasted good, although it was sweeter than Tanjirou's boar-shaped chocolate
Tanjirou nodded in affirmation after taking a bite. "Definitely too much sugar," he confirmed. "Shigeru has a sweet tooth and he tends to project it onto others. I must have a word with him about this."
Inosuke couldn't help but feel a twinge of self-doubt. If he found the chocolate too sweet, did that mean he didn't like it?
But Tanjirou must have sensed his concern, because he turned to him and said, "Regardless of how it tastes, if it's made by my family, it's perfect for me. Thank you for your gift, Inosuke. It's thoughtful of you and I really appreciate it."
Tanjirou beamed at Inosuke, his eyes crinkling with warmth and a softness in his expression that made Inosuke's heart flutter. His smile was like sunshine on a cloudy day, lighting up the world around them. For a moment, Inosuke was lost in the sight of it, the way it made Tanjirou's eyes shine, the way it made everything else seem unimportant.
Inosuke desperately wanted to say something clever, to make Tanjirou laugh or smile even wider, but he felt tongue-tied. All he could do was blush and scratch his own head bashfully. To fill the momentary silence, Tanjirou launched into a story about the time he, Nezuko and their father baked together for the first time.
Inosuke tried to concentrate, but his mind kept wandering back to his unspoken confession. He couldn't let this opportunity slip away, not after all he had done to get this far. But why was this so hard?
As Inosuke was about to muster up the courage to confess his feelings, Tanjirou yelped, "Look at the time! I have to fetch Rokuta from kindergarten." He rolled up the brown paper bag to cover the sunflower basket.
Inosuke's heart raced with panic and anxiety as he realized that this would be his last chance to reveal his feelings to Tanjirou before he went home. Without a doubt, Tanjirou's mum and his siblings would bring up the matter of his confession at the bakery. Kie and Nezuko had been nothing but kind and supportive. They would be so disappointed in his failure and think of him as a coward. Hanako and Takeo already seemed to think he was lame. They would taunt him endlessly for his inability to confess. And as for Tanjirou… the thought of his reaction alone was enough to make Inosuke's palms sweat. What would Tanjirou make of the fact that the self-proclaimed King of the school compound couldn’t even tell his underling that he liked him?
Wait!" he blurted out. "I have something to say!"
Tanjirou had removed his apron and was folding it into a neat square. He looked up to face Inosuke with a puzzled expression. “Let’s talk on the way, I’m late as it is.”
Impatience built up in his chest as he watched Tanjirou rummage through his bag, trying to find the most suitable pocket to put his apron away.
“Listen to me,” Inosuke leaned over him and grabbed his wrist. Tanjirou looked up at him again. Only this time, their lips brushed against each other's.
Inosuke's heart skipped a beat as he felt the warmth of Tanjirou's lips. The sudden, gentle touch was like the flutter of butterfly wings and left him feeling alive with sensation. For a fleeting moment, he forgot about everything else - the confession, Tanjirou's family, his own insecurities. Lost in the unexpected intimacy of the moment, Inosuke savoured the sweet sensation. But almost as soon as it had begun, it was over. They pulled away, faces flushed with embarrassment and surprise.

Author's Notes: I've been wanting to have Inosuke say "You have a smile that puts all these sunflowers to shame!" to Tanjirou for a while now, but it never quite fit in any of my stories. I don't think he would ever think of it himself, but maybe someone could have taught him. Regardless, it still seems like he would have a stroke trying to say it out loud, haha! I'm really happy I found a chance to slide it in here. As for Tanjirou trying to pay Inosuke for the gift, that was a last-minute idea that came to me. I'm thrilled with how well it fits with Inosuke's character. It just feels like something he would do - yell and threaten Tanjirou - when giving a present that's meant to confess his romantic feelings. This also sets up the perfect excuse for him to act that way without coming across as too unreasonable (although, let's be real, threatening people when giving presents is pretty unreasonable, but this is Inosuke we're talking about). I'm glad I was able to give Tanjirou some happy times with his family in this chapter, even if it was mostly through remote interactions. I hope I was able to capture his big brother persona that he's known and loved for. Thank you for reading! If you enjoyed my fic, it’d really make my day if you could drop a like, reblog, and/or comment to let me know! This story is also published on AO3 where you can comment anonymously! Although I mostly write for myself, your encouragement keeps me motivated to post and share my work.

Your english is great so don't be ashamed! Whoever told you that is an idiot!
OKAY THIS IS A PROVOCATION I WILL DO IT /j Actually, I wrote this the same day you asked, but I was embarrassed to post it... So yes! You have been warned about my bad English :D
Falken x gn! reader fluff
You sighed heavily and leaned on your forehead against the cold wall of the corridor. From the very morning you felt weakness. You wanted to believe that it was only yesterday's mission, just a tiredness after difficult battle with miramons and nothing more. But the truth was clear - you got sick. And now head feels unbearably hot and heavy. In a good way, you should immediately go to one of the doctors and open a sick leave, but several people from your team already were seriously injured and stayed at home, so you didn’t want to let commander Falken down even more. Therefore, you crossed your fingers and believed that you could hold up until the evening and lie down tomorrow, during day off.
Thats why now you were facing the wall, hoping to cool your aching head in such a stupid way, without attracting too much attention to yourself. Falken's office is nearby, so happyly there no one around. All members of the Union tried to avoid meeting him, moreover making noise near his workplace. You didn't share their opinion. Yes, commander Falken seemed cold, but for some reason no one even tried to get to know him better and understand that he is not scary at all. You were lucky to find a common language with him. Starting with awkward questions about weather or today's menu and equally awkward answers, step by step you started talking more in your free time. You gladly agreed to walk together to the canteen or library. Falken even smiled when you joked. At least, it seemed so to you, because the impenetrable gaze of predatory hawk eyes seemed so warm at such moments. Well, you really wanted it to be truth. You were in love with Falken and couldn't deny it.
“y\n?”
You flinched when you heard his voice. Oh no. Of course you didn't think that your crash could come out of his own office, which is two steps away from here. Great job, idiot.
“C-commander Falken?”
“You look bad.”
“You have the eyes of a falcon, commander” you tried to joke, but this time he didn’t even raise an eyebrow
“You are ill…” he didn't ask, he asserted.
He frowned, looking you up and down, his gaze was heavy and attentive, as if he was trying to pin you to the floor. Finally, he stopped at your painfully red face, squinting a little. Your head, hot with fever, considered this look as condemning. Feelings of guilt pricked your heart. More than anything, you didn't want to upset Falken any more.
“Excuse me commander! I know I'm letting you down. But I promise I'll be in better shape for the next mission!”
“Don't be silly, you'll only make things worse." Falken interrupted, shaking his head. “Immediately go to the doctor and take sick leave.”
“But…!”
"That's an order.”
Heart sank painfully. He is right. It's not certain that you'll be better in a couple of days, and like any other commander, Falken doesn't need a sneezing and coughing burden on a serious mission.
***
The next day, you just slept and took the medicine prescribed by Heng Yue. Headache and suffocating heat didn’t allow to rise from the bed, weakness fettered the limbs. Every muscle in your body ached painfully. It was as if you were crushed by a red-hot anvil, and your inflamed and restless mind kept returning you back to the corridor where you last saw Falken, repeating his words. And how did you manage to get sick at such an inconvenient moment?
A day later temperature finally subsided and you were able to walk unsteadily to the bathroom and bring yourself back to normal. A sudden call pierced the silence of the apartment. You walked towards the door in surprise. Maybe one of your friends decided to visit?
Falken stood in the doorway. You blinked.
“Commander Falken! What are you doing here?”
“I accidentally heard that your friends couldn't get through to you. When I tried it myself, your phone was off. So I came to check if everything is ok.”
His gaze no longer seemed as heavy as last time. Falken looked at your face, worry flickering in his eyes. Light eyebrows seemed to break, expressing sincere regret.
“Sorry, I should have sent you on the day off earlier. You've been working so hard lately…”
“I thought you were angry?”
“For what? It's my fault. I managed to get used to the fact that you are always there and help me, that I did not think about your health at all. I'm sorry.”
The sincere tone of his voice made you feel embarrassed. Falken… worried about you? And felt guilty? These thoughts excited your heart, which beat like a jackhammer, dispersing unexpectedly hot blood through your body. Unlike the temperature, this heat feels nice.
“No, it's not your fault!”
The voice sounded unexpectedly loud, repeatedly bouncing off the empty walls. It's only now that you realize that you're still keeping Falken at the doorstep of your apartment.
“Oh, sorry! Please, come in! I… oh, I wasn't expecting guests…” you mumbled absently, looking nervously around inside your house.
“Should I leave?” Falken asked calmly, stopping in mid-step.
“Not! It's just a little messy…”
“Don't worry about it, I came to check how you feel, not how you clean your house. Can you take me to the kitchen? I brought something for dinner.”
You escorted Falken in the right direction. Did he bring something for dinner? What could it be…? You haven't eaten for more than a day, so the thought of food involuntarily woke up your stomach, which immediately emitted a hungry rumbling. Falken set down a bag from ShrimpDog on the table.
"Your cheeks are red. Everything is fine?"
"It's great! Yeah, pretty good, thanks!"
May the gods save your soul, you're so excited.
Falken didn't seem to believe you. However, he did not say anything and only pulled containers with still hot food out of the bag. It was your favorite dish. You swallowed your saliva and stared at the food, surprised by such a lucky coincidence.
"Commander, this is my favorite dish! How did you guess?"
"But you told me about it yourself, didn't you?"
“When?!”
“A month ago. We were on patrol and we passed by the ShrimpDog, you said they make your favorite dish. I thought it would cheer you up.”
“Oh, so you remember it…”
“Of course. I really enjoy talking with you, you tell a lot of interesting things that I myself have never paid attention to.”
Your ears burned with embarrassment. It was very, very nice, but you never thought that one day you would actually hear it from him.
“I'm glad to hear it, commander”
“Just Falken.” Through the dark mask, you could see his soft smile. “You should eat before it gets cold.”
Fresh and tasty food from favorite restaurant not only filled hungry stomach, but also made you incredibly happy. Your lips curled into a gentle smile. A pleasant feeling of satiety and satisfaction spread throughout the body, driving away the remnants of painful weakness and fatigue after fighting the temperature. Now you really feel better. Thanks to Falken. He, in turn, silently watched you all this time, resting his chin on his palm in a strict leather glove with sharp golden claws. His eyes followed the expression on your face.
“Do I have food on my face?” you asked, grabbing a napkin.
“No, no, it's fine. Sorry, didn't mean to stare. You just look happy. It makes me happy too.”
You nearly choked in surprise. How can he say such nice things to you with such an impenetrable face…
“Yeah, I really like this dish. Thanks again, Falken.”
“I heard that many members of Union like this place.”
“Just heard? Have you ever been there?”
“No, never.” He paused, rubbing his neck. “Can I ask you to go there together when you get better?”
Your cheeks are on fire again. If it wasn't for the sore throat, you would have gone there with him right now.
“Sure, with pleasure!”
Falken smiled softly again, nodding his thanks.

hold your hands
- Hakkai Shiba x Reader × Taiju Shiba
- SFW; slightly suggestive
Tumblr media
💙 His hands are shaking when he confesses to you. And he thinks they always are anytime you're in front of him. Still, he gives you the letter he wrote during the night, eyes downcast and cheeks aflame, as you carefully take a step back and place a hand on his arm to tell him that you're sorry, but you're seeing someone else.
💙 The feeling of your hand on his arm lingers for hours after the events on the school roof, when he's trying to contain his tears on the way home.
💙 Hakkai Shiba fell in love with you without remedy, and always knew he wouldn't have a turn back option. He was doomed from the start, when you raised your eyes toward him, offering him with a smile to help him with his homework.
💙 He craved your kindness, your voice, the sweet secret smiles you sent his way anytime he did well on a tutoring session.
"You're very handsome, Hakkai-kun" you tell him once, eyeing the open magazine he has on top of his desk, when you come around to help him with his Math homework "You look like one of those models"
"You really think so?" he asks you, eyes wide, and you only chuckle and pat him on the shoulder, before sitting down and start explaining everything he doesn't understands.
💙 (He won't stop thinking about that until he becomes an actual model)
💙 He writes new letters to you that he never sends: when you smile at him from a distance; when he sees you on the street, and you take a long look at his Toman uniform but your eyes don't turn cold; when his hand touches yours, while you walk down the school halls; when he briefly changes his wallpaper to a picture he took of you while you had lunch. He shows the letters to Mitsuya sometimes, the only person he trusts enough to not make fun of him and his feelings.
💙 Hakkai finds out you're dating his brother on Christmas eve. You have a present for him, you tell him, and you meet him on the park to hand him a prettily wrapped little box with a card attached to it.
💙 He feels like crying.
"I don't know what to say to this" he says, voice only a whisper. His hands are trembling, again. As always with you "You didn't have to trouble yourself"
"It's no trouble at all, silly" you laugh, burying yourself even more on your scarf "Open it!"
Inside the box rests a beautifully crafted black earring, in the shape of a triangle. He breathes, slowly, and blinks a couple of times to avoid shedding any tear in front of you.
He fails, and you're soon engulfing him in a hug that is both the worst and the best thing you could have done for him.
"I don't have anything for you" he says in horror, tears still streaming down his face.
No thank you.
No this is special.
No everything he would really want to say, but the horrible realization that he doesn't have anything to give you, and that he somehow failed the only girl he's ever loved.
You shake your head, taking a step back, and he instantly misses the warm of your body "You don't have to give me anything"
"I do" He has to. Of course he has to. He has to give you everything he has and more. "Just... maybe not for Christmas but soon? I swear I will have something for you, and I deeply apologize..."
"Please stop, Hakkai-kun" you say, and squeeze his left arm. "Its fine. I just wanted to do something for you"
"I don't have enough words to thank you"
You shake your head again, laughing, and then look at the clock "I have to go now. My... boyfriend is waiting for me. I'm going to acompany him to church"
It could be anyone. Many people go to church on Christmas. And yet...
"Your boyfriend" he repeats, blood turning cold, and you look like you regret saying that word "What's his name?"
"Taiju"
💙 He doesn't asks his brother about you. He doesn't want to say your name in front of him. At some point you're the one who ask, later on, when the coincidence in last names is too much, and he has to nod grimly. Hou don't say much anymore.
💙He puts all his energy in making the perfect gift for you. With the new year, he begs Mitsuya to teach him how to sew.
💙 He's not that good of a student at first. He's too clumsy. His hands are too big. Handling the needle sometimes feels like torture, and when looking at the many puncture wounds and cuts that now cover his hands, he sometimes feels like giving up.
"You should be more careful, Hakkai-kun" you tell him, carefully placing a bandaid around his index finger, and delicately tracing the wounds he has in the palm of his hand "Your hands are too beautiful"
"Please" he begs, and he doesn't knows if he's begging for you to stop, or for you to keep going, and his hands are trembling on the table, one of your fingers still tracing idle patterns on his skin "Do not concern yourself too much with me. This is nothing worth your trouble"
And then you smile, and kiss his knuckles, and he's done.
He kisses the same spot that night, alone in bed, before going to sleep.
💙 Taiju never brings you home. Until he does, but never introducing you, and Hakkai knows you're there because he would recognize your perfume anywhere.
💙 (You two have sex that night, on the other side of the wall, and Hakkai closes his eyes and fucks his hand in tandem with your moans. He feels like scum after, and can't sleep for days. He can only look you in the eyes again after a week)
💙 Taiju dates other girls. At the same time. It's Yuzuha who tells him, after he finally cracks and tells her about his feelings.
💙 Hakkai wants to tell you. He really does. But he knows you love his brother. Or have strong feelings for him, at least. He doesn't wants to hurt you. You're too precious, too kind, and you're his only real friend outside Toman, even if he's always wanted more.
💙 He focuses on finishing your bracelet. He'll talk to you, once it's done.
"If you break her heart, you can help her fix it as well" Yuzuha tells him.
And he will. He will pick up all the broken pieces and sew them together, because Mitsuya taugh him well.
💙 He doesn't needs to say anything. On the first day of spring, with the bracelet he made for you resting on his back pocket, he finds you crying on the school roof. You found out about Taiju's infidelities. The ever devoted, catholic man Taiju Shiba, had other women as well.
💙 Hakkai hugs you tight, and he knows that around the two of you there's million of little broken pieces, your heart all over the place.
💙He gently places the bracelet around your wrist, and kisses your temple.
And when he holds your hands in his, he realizes why they were always trembling when you were close. They were itching to hold yours.
"I'm here" he promises, an oath "I won't leave you alone"
💙 Hakkai Shiba doesn't has a turning back option. So he'll stay, for as long as you want him, and even if you never feel the same.
It doesn't matter.
He only wanted to hold your hands.

Chapter Six
In all your years as designated romantic of your generation you’ve come to pick up on patterns that best describe the feeling of falling in love. Now, you’ve grown close. You’ve fallen, never quite landing in love but you’ve fallen enough to have lived through a couple of said patterns yourself.
Free-falling, now… that’s a different thing.
Songs and poems – black and white movies. They all do a beautiful job at portraying something you always found a bit silly, as much of a romantic as you are. They fixate on this idea that the world seems rosier when you’re falling in love – that you see things in a different light. Take in the world in a different way. That one day you feel love and the next you wake up and your commute to work is brighter; friendly faces and fresh flowers everywhere. They make us believe that love is the door that opens our eyes to the wonders of the world. And as unbelievable as it seems… you can’t deny it.
You see it.
You feel it.
You lay in the grass after a Sunday stroll with Lucy that ended up turning into a picnic. She’s singing along to some love song, swaying her head from side to side as she hums – something about the world ending and no other way that I can spend it. You’re about to full on judge her for playing Justin Bieber but an absentminded smile tugs at her lips and the sight alone is sweet – not to mention the fact that you know exactly which smile put that one on her face.
You smile, too.
You’re not too far off. You look up at the sky again. So far, you’ve made up five shapes in the sea of endless clouds above you. The very abstract outline of a strawberry. A dove – yeah, it’s missing a wing but it’s a dove alright. Two blurry faces leaning against one another, one a bit taller than the other. A croissant. And last but not least, an angel. It’s still up there – face formed by faint specks of white cloud, a perfect halo on top and big wings at his sides.
You try to look for your strawberry, only the shape now resembles a liver more than anything. You wince – it’s love.
You feel it in every song, in the cup of coffee you had this morning. In the yellow dress you’re wearing – the same one you wore the first day you met him. You smile, having had no idea of just what you were getting yourself into back then. Remembering just how much of a mistake it all felt like when you sat there, opposite him, as he teared apart at your every ounce of confidence. He was right – mistakes can be…
“What’s all the grinning for?” Lucy’s voice breaks you out of your pensive state.
The best thing to ever happen to you.
“Him.” you reply, simply. “You?” you roll over to your side to face her, head resting against your arm.
“My him.” She giggles. “What exactly, though? Still digesting yesterday?”
You shake your head. “No. Or yes. I don’t know. Maybe…”
“It’s good, ___. I think what he did was very brave.” She says.
You nod your head, that soft smile back where he left it. “Me too. I don’t think I’m over thinking it. It’s just that…”
“You can’t stop thinking about it.” Her grin is mischievous, knowing.
You roll back, the grass feels cooling against your arms. “Yeah,” you sigh, a bit more dreamily than intended.
The silence is comfortable and you welcome it as you both lean against the tall book shelf in your impromptu seating position on the floor. You stretch your legs in front of you, fumbling a bit with the rings on your fingers and he taps his feet repeatedly in a slow motion – eyes fixated on them.
“So… good mistake or bad mistake?” You say, breaking the ice that feels everything but cold.
Jungkook smiles to himself. No trace of a mistake roaming around in his mind. Just you and your lips against his.
“Good. Just good.”
“Good.” You bite your lip, unsuccessfully holding back a smile. “What now?”
Jungkook waits for the nerves to hit – the regret. But it doesn’t come.
“I guess… I mean, fuck. There are so many things that I still have to… heal from, or whatever my therapist says. I don’t- I would never want to lay that on you, though.”
You nod, taking his words in. A bit surprised at his sudden ability to communicate.
He grabs your hand in his, squeezing it lightly. “But… you. I don’t want to run from you anymore.”
You turn to him, giving him a tender smile. “I don’t want you to run from me either. We can take it slow… there’s no rush. I want to know you- really know you. At whatever pace you set.”
“I want to know you, too.” You shy at his words, gaze looking down at where your hands entwine. “We can… ease into it. I mean, I still have to get over the fact I’m five years your senior.”
You try with all your might but you break, snorting at his words, trying to keep your laughter at a library-friendly volume.
“What’s so funny?” He asks, voice serious but a grin forming at his lips, too.
“Sorry, sorry. That is- preposterous, sir.” You tease, “only add like… fifteen years to that and you could be my father.” You feign shock.
His hand comes up to your face, covering your mouth with his hand as he tries to control his own laughter. “Please don’t say that.”
You laugh. “Sorry, sorry.” He can feel you pouting against his palm. “Jungkook,”
“Yes?”
“I- I can’t wait. To know you, I mean.”
His fingers lace around yours once again, a soft, genuine smile when he says, “Neither can I.”
~
The aroma of fresh coffee fills the air and complemented with the bright sunlight coming through the big window it adds to the overall heavenly atmosphere the morning holds. It’s a Monday and you’ve never felt keener to get out of bed and kickstart the week.
And yes, your commute to work was brighter and filled with friendly faces. Fresh flowers, too. In fact, they sit on top of the kitchen counter – three pretty sunflowers, tall and proud. You always did think the sleek, white space was in need of some oomph – key word for: love. So, you took the liberty. Mrs. Chae held them as if they were a newborn baby, excitedly placing them in a vase with some fresh water.
In front of you, is your breakfast masterpiece – a bright smoothie bowl for Soori who has taken on a passion for, well, all sorts of fruits. You place the neatly cut wedges on top, adding some granola to it. And Cheerio’s. A bit of an odd combination, yes, but the kid loves her Cheerio’s. You cut the strawberries into a heart shape, just like Lucy taught you that one time you were helping her garnish a fruit tart. Everything is more interesting for Soori if it takes on a fun shape and you easily comply – testing your creativity to make life just that more fun for her.
Right on queue with your train of thought, you hear her distant baby babble that grows louder and louder the closer she gets to the kitchen. Your gaze snaps to the direction of the entrance, excited to see her.
Jungkook comes into view – body slightly bent over and waddling a bit before his own gaze comes up, eyes landing on yours as he gives you a warm smile. You return it, frowning slightly when you realize there’s no Soori in his arms, even though you can hear her. He giggles softly, looking down, a proud look to his face. You round the kitchen counter, hands coming to cover your mouth when you see her. Her tiny fists hold onto Jungkook’s middle and index fingers, her short little legs moving rapidly in-between jumps and steps. She’s wearing pink Carhartt overalls with a white baby tee underneath. The tiniest pair of Chuck Taylor’s you’ve ever seen on her speedy feet.
“Oh my Goodness! Look at you, Soo.” You fall to your knees and she shrieks once you come into eyesight, walking towards you excitedly with the help of her dad who still holds her by her tiny hands. Once she’s in your arms, he lets go. You hold her to you, wrapping her in a hug, kissing her chubby cheeks. “That was so good, princess. You did so good!” You coo and she giggles, open mouth returning your kisses – a sloppy slobber all over your face but you don’t care.
“Pretty cool, huh?” Jungkook says, looking down at the two of you, his heartbeat picking pace slightly at the sight. “Yesterday she stood all by herself for 3.7 seconds.”
“What? No way, Soo.” Your baby voice is on and she jumps in your arms. You pull her closer to you. “That’s amazing, bub. You’re going so fast. Too fast,” you pout, surprised by how much you’ve seen her grow in such a small amount of time.
Soori’s hands come to rest at either side of your face – Jungkook thinks about how much it resembles the way he holds her before he showers her with kisses. She’s starting to mimic everything he does and when she leans her face forward and leaves another set of open mouth kisses against your nose his chest flutters – a feeling he can’t quite explain. All he knows is that it feels so light. So right.
“Good morning,” he says finally as you get up from your kneeling position on the floor, Soori in your arms as you place her on the crook of your hip.
“Morning,” you return, a smile forming at your lips at the sight of his. You let yourself get lost in his face, because you can. He looks so ethereal in the mornings. You notice he’s not wearing his usual dress shirt and slacks, having opted for a much more casual look in blue jeans and a flowy blue shirt, the first three buttons tentatively open, exposing his tan skin. “Is it spirit day at the office?”
He scoffs at your teasing, playfully rolling his eyes. “No. Not going to the office today, actually. Well- technically I am. I have to go oversee some renovations at the hotel.”
“Oh…”
“It’s in a location by the river. My parents are actually there at the moment. Staycation and whatnot. So, I’m bringing Soori with. And you.”
Jungkook sees Mrs. Chae’s eyes widen at his words – specially the last ones. He walked right into that one though, he’ll admit that much. He clears his throat before he adds, “as in, you know- Soori. For Soori. If you don’t mind.”
You chuckle slightly, biting at your tongue. “Of course. Let’s fill her tummy and we can go.”
He nods, not missing the glint in your eyes and your playful smile before you turn around.
You’re wearing a pretty white dress, the fabric hugging your waist perfectly before flowing at the bottom. Just like Soori, you’re wearing a pair of white Converse. He walks himself right into that dreamy thought, too. Only this one he did purposely.
It’s going to be a long day.
And for the first time in a long time, he looks forward to it.
~
Jungkook and you divide the task of getting Soori strapped into her car seat – you keep her distracted by letting her fidget with your fingers and he works the harness around her chest and tummy, pulling on it until he’s sure she’s safely tucked in.
“Hey, you’re so good, baby.” He coos at her, pride swelling in his chest at her mellow behaviour. She smiles, holding at his finger and pulling him closer. She has a tight grip on yours too.
Jungkook smacks his lips against Soori’s cheeks, earning himself a giddy giggle from her. She scrunches her little nose when he kisses down her neck, tickling her. She tries to push him away, never once letting go of her hold on your fingers, bringing your hand to Jungkook’s face as her loud snickers fill the car. They’re contagious and soon enough, the three of you are laughing.
“Does Soori have tickles?” You ask her, free hand coming to poke at her sides as she jumps and screeches at the feeling.
“She’s so ticklish.” He says, coming up for air for about a second before he dives right back in, nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck. She kicks and screams, full-on cackling now and you can tell that it’s not gonna be too long until she gets fed up. Her hand comes up to either side of Jungkook’s head and you tug at his hair slightly. “Hey, hey. That’s enough. She’s going to run out of smiles and then what do we do.”
Jungkook laughs, heart wrenching at your sweet voice that you reserve just for her – liking how you use it on him, too. “Never,” he says, landing one final kiss on top of her head before he straightens his body. You settle into the seat next to Soori and he frowns, saying, “what are you doing?”
“What do you mean,” you return, confusion in your words.
He bites back a chuckle, a grin adorning his face. “Come sit at the front with me.” It’s more a statement than it is a question and he sees you hesitate, eyes zeroing down on Soori’s hand around your fingers and then back to him. “She’ll be fine, come on.”
You hesitate for yet another second before you’re exiting the backseat of his sleek car, making your way to the passenger’s seat. You both get in at the same time and you watch as he gets comfortable, starting the engine and maneuvering the steering wheel as his free hand flies behind your headrest, body twisting slightly as you exit the parking space. Soori whines in the backseat, something awfully close to Da before she breaks out in unintelligible babble. When he glances at her she’s looking at you, small face scrunched up in disappointment.
“Hey, you. We can share, okay? Let daddy have her for a minute?” Soori diverts her eyes, gaze already focused on whatever is going on outside the window, bringing her pacifier back to her mouth and suckling on it.
You giggle. “She’s growing at speed lighting. She’s full on trying to talk now. And walk!”
“I know. We already made a made a pact though – she’s not allowed to do either when I’m away at work.”
“I imagined she agreed to it right away?” You tease.
“Of course. She’s loyal like that.” He looks in the rear-view mirror, smiles when he sees her eyes on him. He turns to you, “how are you feeling?”
“Good. Very good.” You say, a bit sheepishly. “You?”
“Me too,” a lopsided grin forms on his lips and the sight has you weak at the knees.
“Did Taehyung pick up on it?”
He turns to you for a second, a look on his face that says what do you think. “Did Lucy pick up on it?”
“Touché,” you say, “is that… bad?”
“No. They might tease me a bit but they wouldn’t do anything to make me feel uncomfortable before I’m ready to talk about it. Taehyung and Jimin, though… they just have a sixth sense for that stuff. So, it’s hard to keep it a secret.”
“So, we’re a secret?”
He looks at you briefly, an apologetic look to his face. “Does that bother you?”
You smile, reaching for his hand that rests on his thigh. “No. I think it’s the smartest thing to do. At least until we… figure us out, I guess. I am your nanny after all.”
“Nope. You’re her nanny,” he says, motioning to Soori. “You two can talk business later.”
You laugh, playfully swatting his leg. Before you can move away, he’s locking your hands in his hold – intwining your fingers together. It’s all so overwhelmingly good. The lightness to his mood, the witty jokes, that relaxed expression taking over his face. His hand on yours – finally. You missed it, the feel of his skin. The butterflies it sends to your tummy, the warmth it radiates. You could give up on a steady heart rate any day if it meant experiencing the euphoric feeling of having him close.
“Jokes aside,” he starts, “I wouldn’t want her to… lose you.” His face falls, so evidently that you don’t miss it. You can feel it – the way his head is being swarmed by intrusive thoughts right now. Full of bad news. Uncertainty. Fear.
You squeeze his hand. “I know we have a long way to go of… figuring things out. But she’s important to me, too, and I wouldn’t jeopardize that either. I wouldn’t take that leap if I… if I wasn’t sure. About you. About wanting to try. And getting to know you.”
He only nods. His silence makes you feel uneasy, like maybe you pushed too far, said something that would put him in a compromising position. You know his walls are high and even though the full story is still unknown to you, the pieces you do have form a painful puzzle.
So, you don’t say anything – giving him enough space to process things in his own time. Understanding that trust is a tricky thing when broken. Like a mirror, it reflects on everything that stands its way – morphing our own truths, making us feel unbelieving, undeserving.
And as much as you want to pour all the love that brews inside of you onto him at once – to have him know he’s got you; you figure the best thing you can do is to not aid that reflection further by imposing your own fears onto it. Fear doesn’t cancel out fear but understanding does.
Understanding, you conclude, can sometimes be stronger than love.
~
Growing up, you were always in a constant state of praise. From your teachers, your parents – hell, even your friends. There was something so captivating to the people around you about how collected you were, how dedicated and applied. Back then, of course, your world was smaller and your priorities didn’t go as far as making sure you excelled in school, volunteered at your local church to put a smile on your mom’s face and be someone your small group of friends could rely on.
So, needless to say, self-control was easy. You used to believe promiscuity was simply a side effect of hormonal angst and not having enough to do. Thankfully, you were exempted. Not from the hormonal angst, no. In fact, sex was always something you felt drawn to in literature and art. But as for not having enough to do, that just wasn’t your case.
And even when a lot of these beliefs went away along with your naivety you still remained somewhat good at keeping desire cool, calm and collected.
But you’re only human.
And only so strong.
You feel like the universe is playing a silly little number on you now – making you pay for whatever twisted wave of superiority you rode as a teenager. It was probably induced by spending too much time volunteering at the church and cringing at the descriptive way in which your heart and road to heaven would be corrupted by having pre-marital sex, courtesy of the nun that taught your bible study group.
Your body shudders, cringing at the memory alone.
Your eyes divert to said silly little number – sporting that perfectly fashionable baby carrier of his, a sleeping Soori flushed to his chest, as he talks business. And you’re speaking business. Casually blurting out numbers that don’t make mathematical sense to you because how does money even work? Correction: how does money even work like that?
He walks alongside the architect as they review plans, numbers, paperwork, strategy – you name it, Jungkook seems to have the lead on everything. It takes you by surprise when he takes a hold of the pencil and tweaks at the paper plan, adding to the perfect drawing of what will be the new rest & relaxation space. In simpler words, a spa. With all the luxury amenities, in perfect tune with the whole essence of the hotel.
The hotel alone surprises you, not having expected the paradisical feel to it. It felt like a small oasis, only twenty minutes away from the city, surrounded by so much green and crisp, fresh air. You’d passed by The West End multiple times, the one in the city, that is. A tall, glass building that spewed modernity and money just by being in its close vicinity. This West End though, as luxurious and modern as it was, had a more relaxed feel to it.
Jungkook seems to be exceptionally involved with this one, that usual passion he carries about his business soaring just a tad higher. To you, it feels like this one in particular hits close to home and you wonder why. He gets visibly excited when the architect retrieves his iPad, showing him a colourful digital visual of what’s to be the final outcome. Soori fidgets slightly in the carrier and he puts a hand to her face, caressing gently in a soothing manner, making sure his voice goes back to its normal pitch. She’s full-on teething now and her discomfort is painful to watch, especially for Jungkook. So, when nap time came and she wanted nothing more than to be held by her father it came as a no-brainer to him – always taking advantage of whatever time he can have with her during the week.
And this right here is just why you think the universe is playing games with you. Torturous, evil games. Because no, that goody-two-shoes behaviour didn’t last a month in university. You, of course, not only matured and fell victim to the freshman fifteen but also navigated through your sexual awakening in a, needless to say, healthy manner.
But Jeon Jungkook is hormonal angst mixed with three out of the seven deadly sins and you have no desire to repent.
If the pull that draws you to him was only physical then you’d make do. Brave it like a good girl and impose that self-control that carried you through your innocence. But the tension that builds in your body for him happens to go slightly beyond just the physical.
It’s his mind, too. That big brain of his, oozing intellect left and right – how effortlessly it comes to him to lead, persuade and gain people’s trust. How everyone that works for him respects him for all the good reasons, as opposed to fear. How he puts his all in whatever it is he does, perfecting it until his interest wears off and then he moves on onto the next big thing – never ceasing his ability to learn and grasp new concepts. You think his mind is exceptional and that just makes him all the hotter.
His humour and light-hearted ways are one hell of a magnet as well. The witty banter and sharp comebacks, funny without ever being mean. The way no matter what his titles are, to his friends he will forever be the youngest one – their Ggukie. And how he lets them, basking on it, welcoming the love and letting himself be babied. You like the way he can’t help but get giddy when something really cool catches his eye – how even though he’s seen a lot, he never acts like he’s seen it all, letting himself still be surprised by the world around him.
And last but not least – how good of a dad he is. How out of all his titles and duties, that one seemed to be the one he carries with the most pride.
“So, what now, darling?” Your dad said.
You’d barely had enough time to remove your cap and gown, finding a comfortable position in the booth at the diner.
“Well,” you hesitate for a moment, trying to find the right words. “I quit my job at the bar.”
“Oh, honey. That is great news. That was no place for a young lady,” your mother adds, relief filling her face. You appreciate her concern.
“That is good, ___. It was only holding you back. What other offers do you have lined up?” Your father presses, curious and, frankly speaking, gullible.
“Well, dad- it’s not that easy.”
“Of course it’s not! Finding a job is a job of its own, ___. When I was your age I walked the streets tirelessly, paper in hand, circling every single option, talking to anyone that was willing to listen about my qualifications-”
“Dad.” He finally stops, looking at you, “I think that’s very admirable but, in this day and age we use Linkdn and no one is really willing to listen. You think you know rejection until a faceless HR worker ghosts you.”
“I understood two things from what you just told me but, nonetheless, darling, the value of good, honest work never goes unappreciated.”
You contemplate his words for a second. “I was thinking about volunteering at the library… we just passed it actually. It’s a book club for little kids.”
Your mom beams at your words, always one to encourage any sort of helping hand. Your dad, on the other hand, looks a bit crestfallen at the thought.
“You know, honey,” your mom takes it upon herself to break the heavy silence that falls around the table, “when you were a little girl you loved playing with dolls. You’d dress them in your old baby clothes and even made me get you real diapers for them! You went on to become a scholar, a bright young woman but… I always did think that you’d come into this world to be a mother.”
You know she doesn’t mean for her words to hit you in the gut like a clean punch but they do. Not because you didn’t share said dream but because you didn’t believe it was your only one. You didn’t think you’d have to sacrifice your talent and brains to be the very first thing you wanted to be when the world was four walls and an endless array of dolls: a mom.
“You’re a good dad.” You tell him, when it’s just the two of you and Soori, who has just begun to stir awake, once again.
He looks at you, surprised by how flustered your words find him. “Thank you. I try…” he replies, voice laced with honesty as he lets out a sigh.
“And a good hotel owner… person.”
He laughs at this, head falling back on his shoulders. “Thank you. Where is this coming from?”
“I don’t know,” your gaze lands on the tall trees as you walk a narrow walkway back to the main lobby. You wish you could hold his hand. “I like seeing you… in action.”
“Yeah?” You only nod and he doesn’t miss the faint rosy tint that creeps up on your cheeks. “I thought you’d find it boring.”
“There is very little in this world I find actually boring.”
“I like that about you.”
God there it is. The gentleness of his soul. The butterflies that set flight once again, having never truly left.
You let yourself stare at him, a liberty that makes the sight of him all that more enticing. He stares back, a desire tugging in his chest to either tell you just how much he likes not just that about you but also the way you always speak your mind and hold his gaze so intensely he can sometimes even read it. Or just kiss you. His mind holds the debate, eyes traveling to your lips as he surrenders into the temptation. He’s just about to lean in when a higher force settles it for him.
“Darling!” You both turn around, slightly shaken as you’re met with the sight of none other than his mother.
“Hey, mom. How are you?” He says, walking towards her.
“I’m good, I’m good. Let me see her!” She’s excited and that’s all Soori needs to fall into her arms as soon as she’s freed from the coziness of the baby carrier and Jungkook’s chest. “Oh, look at those teeth. She looks just like you. Well, she’s prettier- no offense, honey.”
“Non-taken and agreed.”
“___, it’s good to see you again.”
“You too, Mrs. Jeon. I like your hat.” Jungkook can’t help the smirk that tugs at his lips as his mother is taken aback by your compliment. His hand flies to his mouth to cover the impending chuckles that threaten to come out of it.
“Thank you.” She replies, her voice slightly confused but he can tell she’s flattered by the look on her face. “Your father’s at the restaurant waiting. Your meeting took too long, darling. You know he doesn’t like to wait. Let’s join him, shall we?”
She doesn’t necessarily wait for a reply from either of you, promptly turning around and heading to the direction of the restaurant. Soori’s in her arms and from a distance you can see how her eyes widen as her grandma speaks to her as she would a friend. ‘It is almost your birthday. I have no idea what to get you! What are you into these days? I hope you didn’t inherit that god-awful habit your father had back in the day of putting everything in his mouth. It turned just about everything into a choking hazard. What’s your favourite colour? Why don’t I ever see you in a dress…’
You can’t help but snort, a closed-lipped smile locking in your laughter.
“She’s in for a real treat when she finds out she was in tears the other day because I had to turn the Animal Planet off because all of a sudden the screen panned out to a lion absolutely devouring an emu.”
You break, full-on laughing now at the sole imagery of a nonchalant Soori and a frenzied Jungkook fumbling with the buttons of his high-tech remote control.
“Or when she finds out she can’t wear dresses because she likes to show everyone and their mothers her belly button.” You add.
“If I kept them on their toes just imagine her.”
You both remain in a peaceful silence for about a second as your laughter dies down.
“Hm, well… it’s all a karmic cycle so be prepared.” You muse, humming as he frowns.
“Nope. I’m prepared, you see? I at least know the god-awful habit is all babies. Not just me.”
You turn around, walking backwards as you face him. “Nope. I wasn’t talking about baby Jungkook.”
“Ha. Well, I stand my case. I also happen to be prepared. I have a bullshit radar for rebellious teens.”
“Takes one to know one.”
He narrows his eyes at you. “I was an angel.”
“I find that hard to believe.”
“Why is that?”
“Because you look too much like one.”
“That’s just a bonus,” he flirts, picking his pace so he can get closer to you.
You click your tongue, biting your lip before you say,
“No. that’s just deceiving.”

Lunch is a smooth affair. Jungkook is merely an observer as his mother entertains Soori with random lady-who-brunches talk and his dad picks an interest in dissecting your literature degree. At first, it’s a bit patronizing and Jungkook visibly tenses next to you – it almost feels as if he was introducing you to them in the very same sense you’re both very well exploring. But his father, with a deep-rooted love for the classics, caves – engaging in quite the conversation. He doesn’t quite recognize the majority of the names you both throw back and forth but he looks at you in total awe. You talk about things with such passion and excitement. With love. And it is then that the thought haunts him:
You are love personified.
Jungkook doesn’t know just what that means. Or why his heart and brain ganged up on him and put the thought in his mind – engraving it. But it makes sense to him. You have a softness about you, a lightness that you carry that sheds light into the darkest of spaces, breaking down the tallest of walls. The hardest of men, i.e., his very own father.
Now, his parents might fall into most of the stereotype that characterize the filthy rich but, being assholes for no reason is not one of them. So, they welcome you and Jungkook can tell it surprises you. He also knows that a big part of their approach is due to the fact that they can so clearly see how fond Soori is of you and that is the one thing they’ve weakened for in all of Jungkook’s twenty-eight years on this earth. They have a weakness for her he doesn’t even think they had for him and he thinks it’s only normal, especially considering the circumstances. In fact, he’s grateful for it.
You all say your goodbyes, his mother pressing a kiss to Soori’s forehead before she lets her know, ‘table manners will be discussed with urgency during our next meeting’. She just giggles, grabbing a fist-full of her hair and tugging playfully, making her yelp. Jungkook feigns a stern front, attempting to tell her off but in reality, he just finds it hilarious.
Once they’re out of eyesight you turn to him, eyebrows raising in amusement.
“So, Mr. Jeon’s a romantic.” You state, making him wince in surprise.
“Sorry, come again?”
“Come on. Barret, Neruda, Keats… Baudelaire. The greatest poets of our time. All moved by a little thing called love.”
Jungkook doesn’t know enough to agree but coming from you he doesn’t doubt it. He doesn’t doubt you’re so well-read in something you carry so well. Love.
“I’ve heard my dad’s name followed by many adjectives but romantic is a first.”
“Are you one, too?”
“What?”
“A romantic.”
He hums. “Elaborate.”
“What is there to elaborate in?” You laugh, taking Soori in your arms when she decides to perform her free-fall from her father to you. It’s a good thing you’re both well-trained, always ready to catch her.
“Well,” he gets nervous, your effect on him makes his brain malfunction at times. “It’s a broad term, isn’t it?”
“Mm, depends. How do you see it? Do you see it as love or do you see it as love?” Your voice lilts at the end and he can’t help but laugh at it, half amused and half endeared.
“I don’t know,” but whatever he sees you at, that’s the closest. “But I have my set of beliefs.”
“Ah. So you are.”
He rolls his eyes but you don’t miss his smile. He can’t deny you, really. Because as much as love failed him, he can’t help but see it. He sees it in his parents, in their odd little ways of showing it. In his friends, in how he’s seen even the most untameable of characters be swooped off of their feet and straightened in one swift movement – all because of love. Love walked out on Jungkook but it left him the thing he loves the most. And the one person that he knows will always love him. She has four set of teeth and looks dangerously close to another free-fall as she smiles at him.
And he sees it in you. In the way you take on the world. In the way you speak and read your books and write in that beat up journal. In the way you sing to Soori who will most likely know the entirety of Elton John’s discography by the time she’s two.
Love feels so scary to Jungkook right now – it threatens to break him, even. But he’s not blind to it.
“Come on, I want to show you something before we go.”
~
“What is it with you and non-traditional means of transportation?”
The three of you stand at the end of the dock that sways softly to the beat of the current of the river. A long and sleek speedboat right in front of you. It’s beautiful – dark wood exteriors with black and white detailing, a royal blue flag with The West End insignia on it. You all but gawk as Jungkook jumps in, unconsciously taking a step back with Soori in your arms.
“You know, for someone who’s so easily entertained you sure are hard to impress.” He says as he digs through one of the compartments beneath the seats, retrieving a small, pink life-jacket, presumably Soori’s.
“What about this screams easy?” You sneer, making him let out a loud chuckle.
“Pass her over,” he tells you, hands stretching out towards Soori who jumps excitedly in your hold. You hesitate for a second, frowning at him. “Oh, don’t worry. She loves this thing. Look I even-,” he points to the tail of the boat and you see it. Soori Blue – her name engraved in dainty, cursive letters.
“Did you consent to this?” You ask her. She returns your question with a giggle.
You pass her to him and he puts the life-jacket around her, adjusting tightly as she distracts herself with her trusted giraffe. Once he’s done, he stretches his arm out for you. You don’t take it right away.
“Come on, ___. It’ll be fun.” He presses.
“No speeding, just boating, okay?”
“Don’t worry. it’s just boating when baby’s in. We can do the speeding another day.” He winks and you know nothing about his sentence was sexual but the action sends a flutter to your lower stomach.
You get in, taking Soori from him and settling in one of the plush seats as you wrap your arms around her, holding her tight. Just like flying, she takes on this activity like a champ, squirming excitedly when Jungkook gets behind the wheel and sets sail, no destination in particular, just leisurely roaming about the waters.
You can’t quite deny it – it’s soothing. The breeze is nice and relaxing and he sets a steady, relaxing pace. You glance towards him, eyes focused on the waters ahead and hands effortlessly manoeuvering the wheel. The wind dishevels his hair but it’s one hell of a sight as the strands fly freely around his face. He eventually tugs his front bangs behind his ears, making him look ten times dreamier.
He catches you staring. You look so beautiful. Hair dancing in the wind, your hand pressing down on Soori’s silky strands so they don’t fly off. Your white, flowy dress falls victim, too, as it pulls up your legs, exposing your tan skin to him. Soori’s fingers point to nowhere in particular and you pull her to you, kissing her cheeks before you nod and say, ‘water!’. His brain short-circuits at the impact the exchange has on him – on how tender you are with her. Jungkook has always loved to see the world through Soori’s eyes and always dreaded the day she’d outgrow that wonder. But in you he realizes that doesn’t have to necessarily be the case. He thinks that if you stuck around for long enough, she might never outgrow it – just adapt it. Just like you.
He brings the engine to a stop once the boat is far enough for the hotel to be a tiny speck in the distance.
“Hey, Jungkook,” you call out to him, “I’m impressed!”
Your smile widens as he walks closer to you, coming to a seat beside you.
“You like my speedboat?” He teases.
“I like your boat.”
You’re both laughing now, so loud even Soori joins in.
“Is it cliché to say that I like to come here to think?”
“No. I get it. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first place to cross my mind but… I see why it is yours.”
“You can’t escape them here. Your thoughts.”
You turn to him. “Do you escape them often?”
“I guess. Sometimes…”
“We all have thoughts that we want to escape, I reckon.”
“Do you have them?”
“Why wouldn’t I,” you ask.
“I don’t know. You strike me as brave. Like you would run straight towards them.”
“Brave? Me?” Your voice is shocked.
“Yeah,” his eyes meet yours. “You.”
“I’ve never been called brave in my life.”
He scoffs light-heartedly. “It was the first thing I saw in you. Really saw, I mean. When you sat there and put me in my place after I nagged at you during the interview. Nobody had ever sat my ass down so poetically, by the way.”
“You deserved that.”
“I deserved worst.”
“No, you didn’t.”
Your eyes are gentle and sincere and Jungkook melts at your words. At all of you.
“___,” he pauses, contemplating something you can’t read.
“Yes?”
“I haven’t felt sure of much in… a long time. Other than Soori and a handful of useless things, nothing holds much certainty in my life.” Your gaze deflects to the wooden floor at his words. “But you- I am sure of you. And wanting to try. And getting to know you.” He mimics your words from earlier, a timid smile forming at his lips at the relief he feels over saying them back. They’d been stuck in his chest, tickling up his throat every time he all but glanced at you.
You smile at him, a world of feelings taking over you, an airy voice when you say, “you’re brave, too.”
Your words ring in his ears, straight to his chest, knocking the breath out of him. For a second, he sees himself in your eyes – believes your words. And without much hesitation, he kisses you. Leaning into you, gently cupping your cheek with his hand. It takes you by surprise but you let yourself fall into his lips, scooting closer to him on the seat, both your arms still wrapped around Soori who babbles away as she plays with her giraffe. Your lips are soft and he pulls your bottom one in-between his teeth as you let out a sigh – a delicate sound that he catches with his mouth as his tongue finds yours, allowing him to go deeper.
He pulls back slightly, the both of you gasping for air for about a second before your lips find one another yet again – this time in a gentle lock, as he indulges in the plushness of your lips, how full they feel against his.
Your moment is cut short by Soori’s high-pitched shriek. You both look down at her and she smiles, blowing a sloppy raspberry into thin air, happy to have your attention back on her.
You bounce your leg and he pinches her cheek and that’s enough for her to be satisfied, eyes back on her plushie as she jumps straight back into the previous conversation they were having.
Jungkook leans back against the seat and extends his arm to the side, locking it around you until you’re safely tucked in – a cocoon of his warmth as you lean your head on his shoulder and his hand plays with your hair. Soori is in the middle and she mimics the two of you, leaning her body backwards until she’s resting against your stomachs.
“Oh, God. She copies everything,” you say.
“I know. Get ready for double the sloppy kisses.”
“From you or her?”
“Both.”
He leans forwards, his lips coming to smack at your cheek as he nuzzles closer to you.
You giggle at his touch – Soori follows.
~
Doorway goodbyes have gotten a tad bit harder with a teething Soori. It’s not that she fights being back in your arms after Jungkook hands her over to you – it’s more so having to see him leave and not having the possibility to alternate between the two of you.
Desperate times have called for desperate measures – aka, distractions. Today is half a pancake she nibbles on, chubby hand drenched in sticky honey. She offers it to Jungkook, always the kind girl she is. You think he’s going to take a fake-bite and fake-chew on it the way he normally does but he actually goes for it. Making you gasp in surprise.
“Heeey. Get your own pancake, daddy.” You say in a serious voice.
“Don’t call me that.” He points a finger at you, a scowl to his face. You chuckle.
“Don’t eat her pancake.”
“She likes to share.” He returns, his Soori voice on as he coos at her before kissing her cheeks. “Hey, by the way… we’re having a pool party on Sunday.”
“Oh. Fun…”
“Yeah. Jiminie’s inviting Lucy,” he wags his eyebrows at you. “I’m excited to finally meet her. Properly, I mean.”
You smile, excited for the two of them to be taking this step. “You’ll love her. You all will. She’s the best. Soori will love her!”
“I’m sure we will. But hey, I was wondering if maybe… you could come?”
“Why,” your tone is more brass than you originally intend.
“I want you there. I mean- I know we said… I don’t think they’ll be surprised. They’ll just think you’ll be here for Soori. Unless you don’t feel comfortable with that or- maybe you have plans which I completely understand-”
You smile a little at his rambling, interrupting him as he narrows his eyes at you. “I’ll be here. For Soori.” You see the fallen expression in his face and you break, “and for you. I like seeing you during the weekend. You get less bossy.”
“Funny, you.”
“Oh, I’m hilarious.”
He scrunches his nose, nodding. “Yeah, you kinda are.”
He scans the room for a second before confirming the coast is clear, leaning closer to you and placing a sweet peck on your lips – getting carried away for a second too long as he deepens the kiss.
He knows you don’t know this but you make doorway goodbyes easier for him, too.
~
“What is it with him?” Kenny’s eyes are glued to Jungkook as he sips on a beer and laughs at something Namjoon just said.
“I don’t know. He even laughed at something Tae said today.” Mai responds, her eyes fixed on the same sight.
“Maybe therapy has been helping?” Suelgi suggests.
“Yeah,” Mai’s voice drifts right in tune with her thoughts. Her eyes look for you, sat in Soori’s mat playing with her and Dae. “Therapy…”
“Whatever it is… it makes me happy. I mean, I hadn’t seen a smiling Ggukie in a while. I missed it.”
“Me too. And just overall, he seems different.” Suelgi says.
Mai smiles, simply nodding as she sips on her glass of wine.
He’s different alright.
~
“Hey,” you walk towards the small circle Jungkook, Lucy, Hobi and Jimin have formed.
They all greet you back, enthusiastically.
“Soori sort of drifted. She was with Yoongi on the couch so…,” you say to Jungkook, feeling a bit awkward at not knowing how to approach him with so much people around.
It’s not that you regret coming. It’s just that you don’t really feel like you quite fit in the environment. There are many eyes on Soori, all wanting to give her undivided attention and play with her. So, it’s not like you can do your job and mingling feels slightly out of place considering that you, well, keep one hell of a secret. A secret you try not to make obvious. So, you’ve been avoiding Jungkook at all costs.
“Yeah, the little kids tend to tire her out quickly as she tries to keep up with them. Have you eaten? Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?” You frown slightly at his words, hoping your eyes convey the words your mouth can’t.
“No. Thanks. I’m actually looking for her ducky. I can’t seem to find it and she’s been making the ducky face so,”
“Oh. Shit, yeah. I think I might’ve left it in the playroom this morning. We were playing videogames.”
“We?” Hobi snorts at your remark and you instantly regret it. “I’ll look for it. Where in her playroom?”
“Not hers. Mine. Here, I’ll come with.” He says and before you can say anything else he starts walking towards the inside of the house.
Once you make it to the long hallway, the same one that leads to his office, he turns to you – face laced with concern.
“Are you okay,” he asks.
“Yes. Sorry- I just- I’m bad at keeping secrets. I feel like my dumb face gives it away.”
He smiles at this, relief flooding his body. “It’s not dumb. And I’m sorry. Maybe it was a bit selfish of me to have you come… I just- wanted to see you.”
“No, no. I want to be here. I wanted to see you, too.” You sigh, leaning your back against the wall. He takes a step closer to you, expression unreadable – perhaps with something dancing in his eyes you’ve never seen before. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing,” he mocks nonchalance.
“Jungkook,” your hand comes to push lightly at his tummy, “there’s like- everyone out there.”
“Why would they come here?” He takes another step forward.
“I don’t know? Bathroom?”
“There’s a bathroom in the pool house.”
“Oh?”
“Oh,” he says, finally closing the space around you and clashing his lips to yours in a soft, slow kiss.
You whimper against his mouth, not really expecting to be this close to him today. It’s healing, really, to be able to just be with him after having him so tentatively close to you the whole day yet so out of reach. You hear a nearing voice – Namjoon’s it sounds like.
“Jung-”
“Shh,” he tells you, grabbing your hands and walking backwards, opening the door behind him. He closes it, securing the lock.
You look around you – a huge room with blue LED lights illuminating it. A couple of arcade games lining the walls, a pool table and a huge black couch that sits in front of an even bigger TV.
“What is this,” you ask, eyes still scanning the room in awe.
“My playroom,” he states simply, pulling you to him by the hands and closing your lips around his once again.
You realize it, the moment you circle your arms around his neck, fingers getting lost in his dark locks as his hands find your waist, making their descend until they squeeze around your hips. You realize just how bold of a move it was to put the two of you in an empty room. Alone and unsupervised. Not even by the prying eyes of a baby.
Mistake, mistake. But what have we said about those?
He lets out a throaty moan against your mouth as you pull at his hair gently, hissing as your nails soothingly run over the spot. The feeling sends goosebumps down his skin and his hands travel down until they land on your ass. You push into him and he squeezes, hard. You moan when you feel him against your lower belly and marvel at how hard he feels through the thin fabric of his swimsuit. He pulls away some, forehead resting on top of yours as your ragged breaths mix together.
“Fuck,” he pants.
“We can just… kiss a little,” you whisper against his lips.
“Yeah. Yeah,” he ponders. “Slow…”
“Slow.” You repeat and before you can process the lie his lips are back on yours.
He walks forwards, arms around your waist as you walk backwards, letting him guide you towards the couch. His knees hit the back of the cushions and he sits, legs spreading and body melting into the pillows as he looks up at you with hooded eyes. He looks heavenly – red-bitten lips glistening with the trace of yours, ruffly hair and slightly flushed cheeks; the soft tint traveling down his neck all the way to his chest.
“C’mere,” he intwines his fingers with yours, pulling you to him until you’re straddling his lap.
“Hm, feels oddly-” a sigh escapes your lips as his mouth connects to a tender spot at the side of your neck, “familiar- fuck.”
And Jungkook knows he’s a goner. The moment his teeth scrape down the sensitive skin and you whimper and squirm in his hold, hips buckling against his, the way he dreamed of the last time he had you in this position. He knows this is where boundaries come to die.
“These dresses will be the death of me,” he says as his hands snake past the hem, kneading around the soft flesh of your ass.
You rut your hips against his, more firmly this time and you can feel him better now – almost fully hard, long and thick as you drag your clothed cunt over him, tiny little whimpers leaving your lips as your eyes shut at the way you tease your clit with every roll of your hips.
He feels it, too. And he can’t help but get high off of your pleasure, on the way your nails push against the soft flesh at the nape of his neck – the way your mouth parts slightly against his own, your hips picking up pace as he groans, hands on your ass as he aids your rhythm, alternating between rapid movements and deeper slow ones.
He’s fully hard now and he can feel the tension building up in his lower stomach, the way it caves in, making him shudder at the sharp pleasure that shoots through him as his cock throbs inside his pants. He tightens his grip around your hips, pulling upwards and away from him until they’re hovering over his. His head falls backwards, hand coming to run through his hair as he collects himself. “Wait- I’ll cum,” he pants.
“It’s okay,” you assure him.
“No. I want to- can I touch you?”
“Yes, please.”
Your voice is so lenient, so airy it sends Jungkook spiralling right into the very root of his lust.
Fuck slow.
His hands grip at the hem of your dress, bunching the fabric upwards until it rests against your tummy. Your hands replace his, holding onto your dress as his fingers run down the smooth of your legs, coming up to toy with the strings at one side of your bikini bottoms. His eyes divert from your lust filled ones all the way to his fingers as they leave feathery touches on your skin. He sees it then – a small butterfly tattoo that rests on your side, just below your hip at the curve of your ass. He groans, doubting he’s ever seen anything sexier in his life.
“Fuck- what is this, baby?”
The pet name sends your mind down a hazy spiral. “I- I wanted to be able to hide it.”
“It’s so sexy. You’re so sexy.”
He tugs at the string that holds your swimsuit in place, eyes widening slightly as the fabric falls apart on your skin, exposing your pussy to him. Your mouth parts, a silent moan breaking at your throat as his fingers come between your legs, digits rubbing at your clit. They travel downwards for a second before he collects your slick, rubbing it all over your little nub.
“Fuck, you’re so wet. Is this for me, baby?” His question has your eyes snapping open, lazy gaze fixating on him as you nod and moan as his fingers pick up their pace.
“Y-yes. I’ve- been like this all day.” Your confession has him groaning as he brings your face to him, biting at your bottom lip.
“Yeah?” His fingers tease at your entrance, drawing tight circles against it. You nod hastily and when you do, they push all the way in – middle and ring finger sliding right in, hooking inside of you as he finds that spot that has your legs shaking, weak at the feeling as your hips come down to their original position. “Shit- you’re so fucking tight. Your pussy’s so fucking tiny, baby. Swallowing my fingers.”
“Jungkook- m-move, please,” you whimper and he complies, beginning his assault on your snug walls as he drags the long of his fingers in and out of you, hitting that spot repeatedly until he feels you get impossibly tighter around them.
Your moans get louder, sweeter, against his lips as his thumb draws tight circles around your clit. You hold onto him as the tell-tale signs of your orgasm begin to unfold above him. It’s intoxicating, all of you – the way your hips roll against his fingers, pressing on his cock. The way you whimper against his ear before your mouth finds his and you kiss him, deep. The way your thighs close around him, knees weak at your futile attempts to as his strong legs push yours further apart.
“Fuck you’re so beautiful- you gonna cum for me, baby?”
“Yes,” your voice is but a whisper, lips not parting from his. “I’m so- fuck. I’m so close.”
“Let go, baby. I got you.”
You cry out when you feel him press firmly against your g-spot, legs shaking as you cum around his fingers, cunt fluttering restlessly around them, powered by his thumb on your clit, stimulating you from all nerve endings. Jungkook can feel the way you gush all around his hand, not once doubting you’ve made a mess out of his swimsuit, too.
“Oh, fuck,” you say, completely fucked-out as you relax against his body, blissfully coming down from probably the strongest orgasm you’ve had, well, ever.
He brandishes your shoulders with little kisses as he removes his fingers from between your legs, bringing them all the way to his mouth before he sucks on them – eyes closing in pleasure. Before he can open them, your hand is closing around his clothed cock, tight grip as you stroke him. He moans, fingers slipping from his wet mouth.
“You don’t have to,” he says, hand coming to rest on top of yours.
“I want to. Please.”
That damn word coming from your pretty lips will see the end of him. He gives you a faint nod as his hand closes around yours, tightening your grip. But it’s not enough, for either of you. Your hips pull back some, and his body jerks as your bare cunt comes in contact with his balls through the thin material of his swimsuit. You roll your hips, pleased with his reaction. Your fingers hook on the waistband of his shorts and his hips raise slightly as you push them past his hips, just enough to free his cock. You nearly drool at the sight of him – cock springing up and away from the restraints, landing on his pelvis. He’s long and thick, a pretty set of veins running from base to tip where he leaks a tiny pearl of precum, arousal so evident as it twitches and he whimpers. Jungkook is in no position to get cocky, considering how painfully hard he is, but a lazy grin forms at his lips when he sees you gawking at the size of him, trying to wrap your head around it. Your tiny hand travels down his stomach, emitting a groan from him as your fingers wrap around his girth – the tip of your thumb and fingers barely able to meet as your fist closes around his cock.
Your head lowers a bit before your jaw twitches, collecting your build-up saliva before you let a string of spit fall from your mouth all the way to the tip of his cock. Jungkook’s eyes roll at the mere sight, a feral moan leaving his lips.
“Fuck, ___. Yeah- fuck. Just like that.” He praises as your palm closes around his tip, thumb toying with his slit as you collect the precum that builds up at your ministrations.
Your touch is soft but firm, twisting at the upstroke, pace picking up as you feel him pulse around you. You bring your other hand down and close it around his base, gripping tightly as your other hand works his shaft and squeezes at his tip. He begins to lose control under you, fingers pressing on the soft flesh of your thighs and hips thrusting up at the rhythm of your merciless grip around his cock. He doesn’t think he’ll last much longer, especially when you start rutting your pussy mindlessly over his balls that feel heavy at the wake of his impending release.
“Koo,” you’ve never called him that and it does things to him, cock fighting with his heart to see who’ll explode first. “Cum for me, please. I wanna make you feel good,” you plead and it’s that innocence in your voice that threatens to tip him over the edge.
“It feels so good, baby. So fucking good- ffuck. There- don’t stop,” he begs as your thumb presses against his frenulum and your other hand strokes his shaft, tight hold on it as you twist your wrist.
You whine, exceptionally loud and Jungkook’s eyes snap open, met with the sight of your face contorting in pleasure as you bite your lip, your hands on his cock never faltering as the friction of your clit dragging against his balls rips another orgasm out of you. He thinks he’s about to pass out as he feels your pussy flutter as you press down on him.
“F-fuck. Fuck, that’s so hot. You’re gonna make me cum,” his hands fly to your hips, moving them against him even as you squirm in sensitivity.
“Yes, please- cum for me.” You sound delirious and that does it for him.
His head rolls back, leaning against the sofa as a feral groan rips from his chest – throaty and dreamy and you think you can cum again just by the way he sounds and looks as he falls apart under you. Face contorting in pleasure as he pulls his lip in-between his teeth, biting hard as his cock jerks in your hold and he spills all over your hands – so much cum some even lands on his tummy. His abs tense and finally release once he begins to come down.
“Holy fuck,” his voice shakes, hands gently coming down and removing yours from around his cock as he cringes with the over-sensitivity.
“That was…,” you start.
He sighs, tucking a fallen strand of hair behind your ear. “So good.”
You hum in response, face nuzzling against his touch. “I think we should head back. No one is going to believe it was this hard to find a rubber ducky.” You say, looking down at his softening cock.
“Don’t make me laugh just yet, I think I just blacked out.”
You hold back a chuckle, lips gently pressing against his as his hand plays with your hair.
“I’ll go clean up first. I’ll tell them you got a work call or something.”
He only nods, shooting you a lazy smile before you come to a standing position – steps faltering a bit as you regain your balance.
Jungkook’s head is still floating in cloud nine and he lets himself enjoy it for a minute until he can process just how good that was and how it’s about to make slow most likely, probably – impossible.

He walks into the living room, face glued to his phone as he scrolls aimlessly through it.
Yoongi lays on the couch with Soori nuzzled against his side as she suckles on her bottle.
“Hi,” he says when he sees Jungkook.
“Hey, man.” He responds casually.
“You look like you just fucked your nanny,” his voice has its usual monotone ring to it and Jungkook eyes widen at his blunt words.
“Yo. Language.” He scolds, pointing at Soori.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
He sits next to Soori, covering her ears, “I did not fuck ___.”
Yoongi scoffs, diverting his eyes back to the tv. “Really now? Are you gonna hit me with another she just straddled my lap?”
Jungkook stays silent.
Thankful his honesty back then landed him into this white lie so easily.

"The Game"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tom Holland x Reader
NSFW
Warnings: Smut, daddy kink.
Golf is boring. You wanna play something else...
"Swinging on the front porch, swinging on the floor.
Swinging where we want, cause there ain't nobody home..."
Cherry Pie - Warrant
He should have known it was a trap. He should have known it from the very first minute. This was punishment, plain and simple punishment. Unusually cruel punishment. He didn't even know why he was so surprised, in fact, he should have seen it coming a mile away. After all, you were about as subtle as a train wreck. And that was exactly how you had hitted him. 
You had always despised golf, said it was snobbish and boring. But he always invited you to tag along just in case, because sharing one of his favorite activities with his favorite girl? That sounded almost like paradise to him. That was probably the reason why that morning, when you had jumped at the chance to join him at the country club, he hadn't suspected a thing.
Oh, how naive he was. How trusting of him. Because now, he had to play 18 while trying to conceal a throbbing, almost painful erection, watching you prance around wearing that. It was ridiculous. It was silly. It was cliche.
It was driving him completely insane.
Your little ensemble was straight out of some soft-porn movie set, he was sure of it: Keds, knee high socks… and a criminally short pleated skirt, especially designed to torture him. You guys weren't even half way through, and he was already about to snap, with his arms enveloping you, hands over yours on the handle of the club, as you bended over just a little, ass pressing against his pelvis just enough to tease him, to remind him how good it felt being buried to the hilt inside your tight, tight heat, the slapping sounds of skin against skin combining with your moans...
One of his hands let go of the club, subconsciously wrapping itself over your hip bone, when you moved, twisting, hips getting away from his. 
"Oh my god! I can't believe it, did you see that?" You turned around to face him, eyes alight with joy at having hit the ball for the first time in your life. 
And for a second, he felt bad. He was probably reading too much into it, chances were you didn't even know what you were doing to him. You were innocent in all that, it wasn't your fault not knowing just how damn irresistible you were, how hard you made him just by standing close to him…
Until he noticed the outline of your nipples under your white t-shirt, made almost see through under the bright sunlight. His eyes squinted in suspicion.
"Are you wearing any underwear?" He blurted out, cheeks immediately turning red, looking around to make sure no one had heard him. But there was no one around, not many people playing on a wednesday morning. In fact, you had the whole course pretty much for your selves.
His cock twitched inside his pants, but he shook himself, squashing the thought before it could take full shape.
You seemed to ignore him, as your face fell.
"I… don't think I was supposed to shoot it that way, though" 
Tom's eyes followed yours, but try as he might, he couldn't find the white dot he was looking for.
"Where the hell did it go?"
"I think it landed behind those bushes" You pointed to the far away patch of hydrangeas on the other side of the field. He couldn't help the snort that left his mouth,
"Yeah, that's not even close to where it should be!"
"Hey! Don't laugh at me"
"I mean, at least we know you have a strong swing" He let out between laughs
You rolled your eyes,
"Be gentle with me, this is my first time" 
The laughter died in his throat like you knew it would, as the innuendo hit him, eyes darkening as they roved over your body once again. You had to know what you were doing... 
You turned around so he couldn't see your smirk, as you started walking in big strides in the direction of the bushes, leaving him to struggle to follow you, carrying the bag full of clubs. 
It wasn't a bad sight, he had to admit, watching you walk ahead of him, your skirt bouncing with your movements, hips swaying gently from side to side. And it was even better as you reached the tall plants, parting the branches trying to see past them, bending over once again, your short skirt riding up your thighs, higher, and higher. He gulped, what little blood was left in his brain rushing south, as he saw the cleft where the round globes of your ass met your legs. You climbed on your tiptoes, and he choked on a groan: just a little bit more and the answer to whether you had or not any underwear on would be right before his eyes, literally…
"Found it!" You called out, victorious, falling to your heels again, walking around the lilac flowers, disappearing from sight, heedless to his disappointment. 
He knew it was a bad idea, as he trailed after you, like in a trance. But there you were, waiting for him behind the tall wall of bushes hiding you both from sight from every angle, mischievous glint in your eye.
The ball was nowhere to be found, and he finally understood.
Your stomach made a flip as Tom tugged at his glove with his teeth, discarding it on the green grass, his whole demeanor changing before your eyes, jaw squaring, eyes hardening, movements slow and measured as he circled you like a tiger stalking his prey. 
"You dirty little liar" He accused, watching the corners of your mouth twitch, trying to hide your satisfied smile, but it was useless: you looked every bit like the cat that got the cream. Well, he knew of another thing that looked great dripping down your chin…
"You think you're real clever, don't you? Really sneaky, teasing me all morning with this little outfit," He let his now naked hand trace your nipples, already hard under the fabric of your tee, making goosebumps erupt on your skin. He was right, you hadn't bothered with a bra, "making me hard with your little touches and smart mouthed comments…"
"Golf is boring" You shrugged, "I wanna play something else" 
He stepped back, away from you, leaving you feeling cold without his heat, despite the bright sunshine. 
"Too bad, baby girl, I'm done with games" His eyes were steel as he commanded, "Show me"
"Show you what?" You looked at him through your eyelashes, you knew how much he liked it when you played coy. But this time, he had told you the truth, the games were over.
"You know bloody well what" His south London accent was always heavy when his patience was wearing thin, "lift that little skirt and show me what's mine" 
You obeyed, and this time, he did groan, the wet patch on the simple white cotton of your thong almost better than his fantasies of your bare skin. 
He fell to his knees on the grass. God, he was so whipped! His plan had been to have you kneeling in front of him, choking on his cock as he fucked your mouth so deep and hard that tears would stream down your face. He would release himself down your throat, leaving you begging for his softening cock, his fingers, his tongue, his freaking golf club, anything to fill your empty little cunt. But of course all of that flew out the window the second he actually saw that pretty pussy through your panties, made almost transparent with your desire for him, the fabric clinging to every curve, every little detail clear for him to admire.
"Come here, baby girl" His tone was much softer as he spoke, "let daddy have a little taste" 
You did as you were told, never stopping to hold your skirt up high for him. Tom nuzzled the cotton, breathing you in before hooking one finger on the damp fabric, tugging gently to the side to reveal your most secret spot to him. He let his tongue poke out, placing kitten licks against your clit, eyes rising to meet your face. Your own were closed already, little frown between your eyebrows, as if the tiny shocks of pleasure coursing through your body confused you. So expressive. So responsive. 
How could he ever stay mad at you when you were so fucking perfect? It only took one taste of you to melt whatever was left of his anger, as he marveled of the angel whining so prettily above him, delicate fingers digging into his shoulders to support herself as her legs shook for him. It never failed to amaze him, to blow his mind. It had always been like that, he had put you up on a pedestal long before you had started dating. 
But now, he wanted to lay you down, and spread you open under the sun. 
He tsked at your huff as his tongue left you.
"No, baby, you don't get to complain today. You've been a very bad girl, so now," He helped you down onto your back on the grass, making quick work of your panties. Taking a hold of your ankles, he hooked them over his shoulders, aligning himself with your dripping center, "you're going to take my cock like a good girl" 
With that, he let his head breach you, entering you slowly, so slowly. Savoring every second, sliding in inch by inch, making you feel every millimeter of his thick, thick length as he buried it into your sweet pussy, stretching you to the limits of pleasure. He had you fold almost in half, as his pelvis finally met yours. You sighed, you had thought he would burst through your ovaries before he was completely seated inside you.
"Can you feel me, babygirl? Feel how deep I am?" 
You nodded, unable to form words. He relented, only a couple of inches, before surging back in. 
"Feel me stretching your tight little cunt? Fuck, it feels so snug…"
He drew back again, snapping back against you harder, making you cry out,
"Yes!"
"Only I can fill you like this" He breathed, in and out again, and again. And again, establishing a harsh rhythm, "This pussy belongs to me…" 
"Yes, daddy" You sobbed, obediently. By now you knew exactly what he wanted to hear. He tugged at your t-shirt, sneaking his hand under it, massaging your breast. 
"These pretty tits are mine…"
It was hard to concentrate with him railing you into the ground, fast, brutal. Making sure the base of his cock dragged against your clit just right with every thrust.
"Yours, daddy" You managed, somehow, earning yourself a smile. If wolves could really smile at lambs before gobbling them right up...
He leaned forwards, bracing himself on one arm, the other travelling from your chest, to your neck. To your jaw. His tumb caressed your lower lip, and you opened up to him. Two of his fingers slid inside your mouth, pressing down on your tongue, you sucked them eagerly, hollowing your cheeks just the way he liked. 
"My princess… so pretty with your mouth full" Tom praised, hips never stopping, plunging his cock into you as far as it would go, over and over again, "wanna fuck your beautiful face… but this pussy… feels too good"
You sobbed around his fingers.
"So good… won't let me go… a slave" His thrusts were becoming messy. Erratic. Tom took his fingers out of your mouth to flick your clit with them.
"No, Tommy! Too much…" You cried, pushing at his hand, overstimulated. But he wouldn't budge. 
"Don't care. You're gonna take it" He growled, but sweetly kissed away your tears. He needed you to come, fast. Because there was no way he was lasting much longer, and you knew what to say if you really wanted him to stop anyway. 
"Fuck… yeah, just like that" he could feel you tensing around him. You were almost there, and he was right behind you, "so good… gonna come, baby girl. Gonna come inside you…" 
You shook your head, too delirious to express it with words, but he knew. You didn't like feeling dirty, didn't like the smell. But he fucking loved it. 
"Oh yeah… gonna fill you up… and you're not getting those panties back" His smirk was devilish, filthy. And you were sure that, even without his cock jackhammering into you, you could have come from that look alone. "Gonna see myself dripping down your thighs as you walk…"
His movements were downright sloppy now, as his words edged himself as much as they were edging you.
"Gonna have you sit in the car just like that… ruin your fucking little skirt… OH, FUCK" 
You felt his cock swell, pumping his seed inside your loins. You bit the inside of your cheek to keep from screaming, as his climax unleashed your own. Still, he kept moving,
"Gonna put your mouth around me while I drive…" There was no way the morning was ending without him having your mouth.
"Tom…" You could feel him begin to soften inside you, but he still wouldn't stop.
"Shhh, baby girl. Wanna make a mess…"
The end.
Buy me a coffee
