#But at the same time be slightly upset and question herself if they watered down her personality

I wonder how Pom Pom would react to a group of indie game devs finding an early prototype of Pom Pom Panic and finishing development of the game.
Well, Ponder this:
With Pom Pom's logic, as long as there's another scrapped concept and she is restored, she would be rightfully on the line to be taken down. She would probably be very paranoid and try to hide her past, while still going through occasionally knocking down rivals in advertising.
However, if they didn't use any aspects the from exact game she lives in and her original code-as well as created new content and reimagined everything, I like to think there would just be a completely new Pom Pom.

Perfect Imperfections
Pairing: Jax x Reader (Romantic) / Ragatha x Reader (Romantic) / Pomni x Reader (Platonic)
TW: Bullying (it’s Jax.) / Insecurities / Thoughts of body modification?
Content: You’re self-conscious about your overbite, others try to help.
REQUESTED BY @duskisnotactive
**************************************************************************************
You would have thought being digitalized would get rid of this kind of thing. Nobody else seems to have something like this, do they? You stared at your reflection in the mirror, lips pulled back in a grimace, staring at your teeth. Your overbite stared blankly back at you, almost teasingly.
Sighing, you turned away, closing your mouth once more. If only there was a way to get rid of it. You wished you could simply shove your jaw into place, and move your teeth around. You didn’t even care how badly it would hurt, as long as it was fixed…
A small knock at your door snapped you to reality. You shuffled over to it, cracking it slightly “Ragatha?” you questioned, your lovely ragdoll girlfriend smiling before you. Next to her, your best friend Pomni nervously stood. 
“Sweetie, can we come in? You’ve been hiding away for hours,” Ragatha spoke softly, reaching out and taking the door into her hand, opening it fully when you didn’t resist. “Sure… I wasn’t doing anything,” you shrug and retreat into your room, the girls on your heels. You settle onto your bed, Ragatha taking her place next to you while Pomni turns your desk chair around to sit.
“Have you been okay?” Pomni questions, glancing at you with that same worried look she normally wore, the only difference being this worry was more concern for you than anything else. “I’m fine,” you lie, knowing Ragatha would jump on that immediately. Really, you didn’t care.
“Sweetie, that's a lie, everyone knows something’s wrong,” she takes your hand, swirling small circles on your skin with her thumb, “please, tell us.” With a small sigh, you finally give in, “I… I don’t like… this,” you point to your mouth, feeling tears prick your eyes.
“What, your messed up teeth?” Your head shoots up, and you lock eyes with the smug-faced rabbit. “Jax!” Ragatha stands, placing herself between you, “who let you in?!” “Myself. The door wasn’t locked,” he swaggered into the room, one hand on his hip, “crybaby here still upset over their maw?”
You really start crying now. This was too much. You leap from your bed, running as fast and as far from him as you can. You didn’t know where you were going- you didn’t care. As long as you were alone, that's all that mattered. You ended up down by the digital lake, crying into your hands. 
You didn’t know how long you were there, alone, but it felt like hours. Not that time mattered in a place like this. Nothing did. You wondered if abstracting was really all that bad…
“Hey, toots.” That voice. You turned, and there he was in all his (lack of) glory. “What do you want?” you snarled weakly, trying to sound tougher than you felt. It wasn’t all that convincing, however, because he sat himself next to you.
“Look, that wasn’t supposed to make you that upset,” he shrugged casually. Was that supposed to be an apology? You stared at the water a moment longer, then stood, “Leave me alone. You’re the world’s biggest @#$%head and I wish it was you, not Kaufmo,” your words were tonless as you delivered them. You swore you saw pain flash in his eyes before you turned away, starting up the path back to the tent.
“Wait!” he called, “just… hear me out? Can I get that at least?” You stop, refusing to turn around to look at him, but listen. “You’re different, okay? You dint react to anything I say to you and it pisses me off. You don’t pay any attention to me.”
“That’s because I don't care about you,” you speak dangerously. “I know. And that just makes me want you to more.” You whip around, finally giving him the attention he wanted, “You want me to?! Then don’t make fun of the one thing I hate most about myself!” 
“But it’s what I like best,” he admitted, making you stop in your tracks, “it makes you look… good, okay? And if… if dollface ever doesn’t appreciate you… She's an idiot.” He finally stood, making his way past you, patting your head as he did so, “because I’d never take you for granted, okay? Anyways see ya later toots.” 
You watched him leave, back to his normal self. But something made you smile. Maybe he wasn’t so bad. After all, if he liked every part of you… who’s to say there isn’t something more to him too?

Groupie part 2, part 3 coming soon
Master-list
18+ smut, language, and angst
Dom!Eddie x sub!reader
Sub!Eddie x Dom!reader
Switch Eddie x switch reader
No smut in this part :)
Tumblr media
Eddie knew she wasn't going to be here. He knew every time he looked at the bar, her seat wouldn't be filled with her presence.
Parts of that night were coming back to him. He could remember most of the details now. Especially the part when she said she never wanted to see him again. And she seemed to be backing up her words.
~~
It's been two weeks since she last was at the hideout. The gigs didn't feel the same. Yeah he still had girls losing their cool over him. Throwing their bras and panties at his feet. But not getting to see her? That fucking sucked.
~~
By the third week, he gave up on his hope. He doesn't blame her. He aired out their dirty laundry and made her feel less than herself. He doesn't even deserve to see her again.
He sat at the bar, staring at her seat filled by a random man.
"she's not coming you know." He jumped as a voice came from behind him, practically in his ear.
He looked over to see a girl and he questioned her silently.
"Y/N, I'm a friend of hers from the university and I take it you are the Eddie Munson that has her locked in her room?"
Eddie sank further in his seat. Three weeks and she was still hurting over the dumb shit he said.
"Does she hate me?" He honestly doesn't know if he can handle the answer. He hopes with everything in him that she doesn't hate him. That there's a tiny piece of her that still has feelings for him.
"No, but she wishes she did." Her friend answered. That was fair, he'd want to hate him too.
"Will she ever come back to see me?"
"No, she won't." The answer was short and simple. And it hurt.
"But, if you went to see her, I think she'd let you explain." Her friends words caused relief to fill his veins.
"and where do I find her?"
~~
Y/N hated how upset she still was over Eddie. She hasn't been to the hideout in three weeks. Her roommate was slowly getting suspicious. It was easy to blame missing the first week because of homework.
Then two weeks in a row? Sam questioned her slightly.
But the third week in a row Sam questioned her harder.
She broke down into tears, telling Sam everything. How she started to fall for Eddie, wanting to tell him and him running away. Then telling her how he called her a whore, groupie, and a slut.
"You were right Sam, I should have listened to you. Now I'm hurt worse than ever before."
~~
Sam hated that she was right. When Y/N first told her about Eddie, she was worried. He was in a band, he probably was with girls all the time. She warned Y/N about the term groupies.
But she saw her friend start falling for this guy. Sam could see the extra effort Y/N was putting into her looks. Always in a better mood on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
And now she fell too hard and landed right on her face.
Sam went to the bar on Tuesday with the plan in mind to find out who the hell Eddie Munson and tear him apart.
She watched the show and figured out who he was exactly. She watched him wink at the girls. Smirking at their attraction towards him.
She rolled her eyes. Yeah, definitely tearing him apart tonight.
But when the show was over, she saw him change.
He didn't go up to any of the girls waiting for him. He sent a polite smile and headed to the bar.
She watched him stare at a specific seat, she inferred that's where Y/N must have sat.
His shoulders were slumped, he twirled his drink mindlessly, and didn't speak.
He seemed upset.
She walked up to him, "she's not coming you know."
~~
Sam left the bar that night, she failed in her plan. She could see in his eyes how upset he was. How scared he was to hear if Y/N hated him or not. She watched how his body flinched when she said that Y/N didn't plan to ever see him again.
She wanted to test the waters, give him an opening to see if he'll take it.
"But, if you went to see her, I think she'd let you explain."
The way his eyes lit up and he sat straighter. A smile ghosted on his lips, she knew.
Eddie didn't need to be torn apart, he was already doing it himself. He seemed to care about Y/N, maybe more than he wanted to admit.
Sam gave Eddie the address to Y/N's work.
Y/N may be mad at her for this, but she'd be thanking her later on.
Both of them would.
~~
The ball was in his court, and Eddie had no idea what to do with it.
He was terrified.
She worked at a restaurant, a rowdy place where many teens went to eat. It made sense. She was in college, a job to earn extra cash would make sense.
He awkwardly got a table for one, knocking his nuckles on the table. Sam told him she worked Mondays, and Wednesdays.
So on a Monday night, he asked the host for a server named Y/N.
~~
This shift was never ending. Y/N felt like she's been running around non-stop.
"Hey Y/N, sat you a party of one at table ten. Asked for you." The host said before she ran back off to the front.
Asked for her? That wasn't very common.
She headed to the dining room, walking towards table ten. As she got closer she felt her heart stop.
It couldn't be him, right?
How did he know she worked here?
Once she was even closer, she could confirm it was him. His stupid curly hair was thrown in a bun. His stupid jean jacket was placed on the chair beside him. His rings clinked against the table. His wrists are covered in bracelets. Why did he have to look so good?
She went to turn around, beg someone else to take this table. Hell she would even pay them but before she could, her name was called.
She cursed herself as Eddie's head turned behind him. His eyes caught hers. She hated how her body was ready to melt.
She forced a fake smile as her manager approached her, "you can be done at 8." She nodded.
Once her manager left, he came back into view.
Still staring at her.
She silently thanked herself for doing her make up today. At least she could look good when she served him....served him a piece of her fucking mind.
She marched over to his table, with all the anger she could manage.
"what in the actual fuck do you think you are doing?"
Being able to stare down at him gave her slight confidence.
For once he had to look up at her.
~~
He hated that she looked so fucking good.
She had light make up on, nothing compared to what her make up on Tuesdays were.
Her outfit of plain mom jeans, white sneakers, and a tight black shirt with the restaurant's name on it, had him doing a double take.
He's seen her in much less clothing, none at all at times. But seeing her in jeans and a T-shirt, she was so effortlessly beautiful.
"I asked you a question Munson."
Seeing her so pissed at him kinda turned him on. But that wasn't what he needed to focus on. He was here to try to apologize.
"I wanted to talk to you. And I don't have a number or know where you live. You don't come on Tuesdays anymore and I w-"
"I purposely stopped coming on Tuesdays because I told you I never wanted to see your fucking face again. So why in the hell would you think I want you trying to find me?"
Hearing that sober, definitely hurt a lot more.
~~
She couldn't believe him. He had a lot of nerve coming to her place of work after the way he treated her.
"and how did you even find out I worked here?" She crossed her arms.
"Sam told me."
Sam? When the hell did Sam talk to Eddie? Why is she talking to Eddie?
A bitter laugh left her lips, "before or after you shoved your hand up her dress?"
Maybe that was a low blow. And a bit unfair to Sam. But she was bitter and hurt.
She did enjoy the way his body flinched. How his eyes quickly fell to the table and a sigh puffed out of his lips.
"Come on, don't be like that. I didn't do anything with her. She found me and said you were locked up in your room."
Her rough act slowly fell. Now she was embarrassed knowing Eddie knew she cried in her room over him.
"Yeah. I guess a groupie shouldn't be so upset over this right?" She wanted her chuckle to sound confident, but it came out a bit choked.
She truly was pathetic.
"no, you have every right to be upset. And you aren't a groupie. Can we please talk after your shift? I really want to explain."
She knew she shouldn't have given in. She should have stayed strong and told him to fuck off. Refuse his service and go home.
Her brain sent the words "hell no" to her tongue but her heart traveled faster than her brain and sent the words "I get off at 8."
~~
Eddie was sitting at the table, ordering a beer and a plate of fries. At least he could help her make money while he waited.
Right as the clock turned 8, she sat across from him.
They sat in silence for a small second. Simply staring at each other.
"I want to start with I'm sorry. I was so out of line. I was talking out of my ass and I didn't mean anything I said."
"Am I just supposed to suddenly believe you now?"
She sounded so emotionless, he hated it.
He never once had a real conversation with her and it hurt knowing this was their first one. And it was not going well.
"Y/N just plea-"
"No Eddie. Don't please me. You embarrassed me, you disrespected me, and you hurt me. I'm not going to believe your pathetic apology. And honestly we were just sex so stop saying you're sorry. I guess it's on me to believe in you just a bit too much."
He panicked as she got up from the table and began to walk towards the door.
In a flash he threw money on the table and ran after her.
She was about to get in her car when Eddie slammed it.
He could hear her take a deep breath before she turned around.
"Listen. I don't know what we were, but you never gave me any sign you wanted more."
He tried to tread carefully. But the anger that took over her face told him he didn't do a good enough job.
"BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LET ME TALK. YOU RAN OUT THE DOOR EDDIE!" She's mad at herself for getting so upset that she yelled.
She didn't want to be affected by this. Embarrass herself even further in front of a boy who didn't even like her.
In a softer tone, she admitted, "I wanted to talk to you that night because I have feelings for you. And the next week you have your hand up a girls dress. How do you think that was going to make me feel?"
He honestly wished she could smack him again. He deserved it.
"I didn't think. That's where I went wrong. When you said you wanted to talk, I panicked. Okay? I was a coward and I ran. I was scared because I thought you didn't want me anymore. That you were going to tell me you didn't want to meet up anymore." He admitted. He was so close to pleading with her. He messed things up and he was hoping he could somehow fix it.
"is that supposed to just make it okay? You got scared and you ran? That part I could have forgiven. Maybe even understood. But you left me in that hotel alone. After you held me for hours. Then you ignored me and flirted with another girl. And then it got even worse. You told me exactly every single thing I've been worried about. Everything I was insecure about. I was fucking scared too and turns out I had a reason to be. And for that, I don't even want to forgive you. " She tried to open her door again but Eddie shoved himself against it.
"You are right. I don't deserve to be forgiven. And you don't have to. But I need you to believe me when I do say I'm sorry. I got drunk because Jeff was saying shit I didn't want to hear. I really fucking like you. I fell for you and I was worried you may not have felt the same way. Jeff was saying shit that you weren't a girl to settle down. That you didn't have feelings for me. So I wanted to drink away my thoughts. And I regret it okay? I should have never flirted with her. I don't even remember what she looked like. You mean so much more to me than a hook up. I never once thought you were a groupie. I miss you."
"then why did those words even occur in your head Eddie? You had it so quick to throw in my face. It was planted there, waiting to be picked. Deep down you believed him, and that fucking hurts. Now if you excuse me, I have about three frat houses to go slut up, since that's all I'm good for. "
She began to shove him over. He tried desperately to keep his feet planted.
"No please don't go. I want to fix this. Please just give me another chance."
His breath hitched when she got close to his face. Nose to nose, and chest to chest. His eyes flashed down to her lips, god he missed those lips.
She took advantage of his surrender and opened her door, sliding her body in between it so he couldn't shut it again.
He blinked rapidly when she pulled away from him, now inches away from sitting in her car.
"All I wanted was to know who Eddie Munson really was. I knew the rockstar persona, and I wanted to know who was under it. Now I wish I never got curious."
With that she was off. Dirt flew behind her tires as she raced off, away from him.
"FUCK!"

Chapter 31: In Which Kip Loses a Race
Twig wasn’t necessarily acting off as Kip ordered a meal to split between them at Spinda’s Cafe. She was still herself. She still laughed the same, over-loud way, she still loved the seasoning on that one grilled berry dish and wanted to figure out how Spinda made such a bland, slightly sweet fruit the star of a savory meal, and she still hated juice and always ordered water instead. But there was something underlying all of that. She laughed loudly, and it seemed like a performance— a way to convince him that she was having a good time. She chit-chatted about that one dish and it seemed like she was trying to distract him from the way her tail nervously twitched against the floor. She ordered water and always took a sip when he asked her a question, like she needed to buy herself precious seconds to think of an answer. 
They finished at Spinda’s and started on the walk home. It wasn’t too long of a distance, but it certainly wasn’t to the market and back, so it was starting to get dark by the time they hit Treasure Town. 
They chatted as they went, and Twig seemed more relaxed as they walked holding each other’s hands. Maybe Kip was judging Twig’s nervousness too harshly. It had been three years since he had last set foot in Treasure Town, and Twig always did have a habit of making things up in her head into bigger sources of stress than they needed to be. He should know— he had the same bad habit of overthinking and catastrophizing. 
They really were a perfect match for each other in that way. They both knew how the other’s brain worked— for the most part, at least— and knew how to talk them down from whatever mountain of worries they had worked up for themself. It was a good fit for them to be friends. It made for a wonderfully self-regulating dynamic. 
“You look more like a swampert than a marshtomp,” Twig said, breaking the silence as they walked. 
“It kind of freaked me out, to be honest. I thought I was sick or something. Our medic said it was an evolution that almost doubled over. Can you believe it? I almost became a swampert in one fell swoop! Imagine how tall I’d be…” He trailed off, elbowing Twig playfully. 
She didn’t elbow him back, instead looking crestfallen all of a sudden. 
“Are you okay? Did I say something weird?”
“You’re fine, Kip, I just… I was thinking about how I barely evolved at all.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that I’m more charmander than charmeleon. Sure, I’m a bit beefier and I’ve got less baby fat, but I still have a charmander’s coloring and everything. I talked to Celebi about it, actually, and she said it’s probably the temporal distortion acting up. She’s not sure I’ll ever evolve again, or if I'll fully evolve if I end up getting another evolution by some miracle.”
“Hey—” Kip put an arm around her shoulders. “You know evolution isn’t that big a deal, right? Lots of pokemon only ever evolve once, or not at all. It’s not an important thing around here. Not unless you want to evolve like Ursaring did. And then you have all the trouble of people mixing you up!” He joked halfheartedly. It killed him, seeing Twig so upset. She didn’t react to the humor, and he worried he overstepped, but he wasn’t sure how to cheer her up.
Twig’s brow creased in frustration before she sighed, relaxing. “Yeah. You’re right. I dunno why I’m treating it like getting good grades in school or whatever. Why cry over it? It’s not a problem worth worrying over.”
“Yeah! Though, um… Definitely get checked out by a professional if you evolve again and it’s another half-evolution. You might have some health problems if you do, and as much as I love Celebi, she’s not exactly certified.” 
A small smile twitched at the corners of Twig’s mouth. “You’d think that she would be, after how long she spent bragging about bringing Grovyle back from the brink of death.”
“It’s a little worrisome how proud of that she is.”
“Seriously. I get that she’s saying she’s good at healing people, but I thought that she would be a bit more tactful about it.” 
“You’re one to talk, Miss I beat up multiple Legends and only died once on a technicality, therefore I am the best fighter ever.”
“Wh— that was a joke! I was joking! I was doing a funny bit! And it wasn’t even that concerning!”
“Grovyle looked like he was going to have an aneurysm. I thought that I was going to have an aneurysm.”
“You guys just can’t handle a good laugh. That’s all.” 
“Or maybe you can’t handle us worrying about you, kidder.” 
Twig fell abruptly silent, eyes wide and mouth still opened in whatever rebuttal she was prepared to launch back, but then snapped her jaws closed, silent.
“… Twig? You good?”
She shook herself, and Kip recognized how she tried to disguise the shift in whatever she was thinking about as a shiver. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m just tired. And cold. It’s freezing out here.”
“Oh! Yeah, we’re having a really late frost this year, apparently. Dugtrio said he could feel it in his toe-claws. Which… is weird. I didn’t know he had claws. Or feet.”
“Yeah, that’s a bit… extremely unsettling. But a late frost? Again? It’s been warm for ages, but we’re getting one final little hurrah of a cold snap! We had one a couple years ago, and it was the worst. I was practically holed up inside for the first few weeks of spring.”
“You need to get tested or something. It’s not often that a water-type handles cold better than a fire-type.” 
“It’s not often that a fire-type didn’t grow up as a fire-type, either.” 
Kip slapped his forehead. “Oh. Duh, of course. I know you were once a human, but sometimes it feels like you were always a charmander before we met. I mean, it might as well have been that way, considering that you don’t remember being human much.”
“Uh… yeah. Yeah, you’re right.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yep, just chilly. Come on, let’s pick up the pace and get back to the bluff already!”
“Wh—” He froze, shocked when Twig took off in a sprint. He rushed forward to keep up, struggling to match her speed. “Slow down! I’m not as fast as you!”
“Loser has to make dinner!”
“We just ate, you menace!”
Twig let out a cackle, high and proud in its sound, and Kip held onto the hope he was just making up the way she looked so terrifyingly sorrowful when he mentioned her amnesia.

The life you dreamed of
(Series)
Description: Y/n a K-pop Idol of the 5-Member Group Moonlight. But what happens when she falls in Love? How exactly is her life as an Idol and why did she become one?
Idol! Yeji X Idol! Reader
Warnings: Mention of Bullying and Suicide, curse words
Chapter 7:
Masterlist
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 18th, JYP Entertainment announced that Lia would be taking a hiatus from her activities due to health issues. Following is the full statement from the label.
"Hello, this is JYPE. We would like to notify you of ITZY member Lia's health conditions and her participation in her future activities. Lia recently consulted doctors after experiencing severe anxiety regarding her activities and was advised during her consultation to rest and receive treatment. After much discussion with members, Lia will not participate in any schedules from now on and will instead direct her efforts to recovery. Lia's return to promotions will be decided after in-depth discussions with members and Lia herself. We sincerely apologize to fans for causing concerns. We will update you as soon as Lia decides to return to promotions. Thank you"
Following the announcement, Lia also left a handwritten letter to her fans regarding her hiatus.
Lia wrote,
"Hello, MIDZY :) I think MIDZY was surprised to hear today's news. Midzy worries more than anyone else even if I get a little sick, so I was worried that you would be heartbroken and upset when you heard this news. But at the same time, I could work up my courage because I know that you know me better than anyone else, will understand, and wait for me. It's been 6 years since I met the members and ran towards the same dream! I was able to come this far thanks to members and MIDZY. It really feels like we've been through a lot. And of course, there were plenty of happy memories we made together. Those were so precious, but I realized that I was not taking care of myself because I was so focused on moving forward. MIDZY are the ones who I am always grateful for, more than anyone else, so I only want to give you love and happiness. But I thought I had to take some time off and love and take care of myself first to do so. As always, I sincerely hope MIDZYs stay happy. I will return healthier than ever so that I can return all your love and heartfelt concerns.
I love you and thank you, as always.
-From Lia"
"Open up," I called through the door. It didn't take long for the door to swing open, revealing a person of the same height. I scanned their entire face with my eyes and offered a small smile as I slipped past them. "Ryujin and Yeji aren't here," Lia informed me as she followed me into the kitchen.
I placed the bag on the kitchen counter and began to unpack it. "Hmm? Oh, okay," I replied, slightly puzzled that she felt the need to mention that. Lia looked at me with a questioning expression, which made me smirk a little. "Why are you here?" the older girl asked. I turned to face her.
"Hmm? Oh, I read the article," I answered as I placed her favorite cup noodle flavors into the cabinets. Lia's eyes widened as she watched me. She stared at me. I knew the flavors thanks to Yeji; I had asked her about them. My lips pressed together as I looked back at the older girl.
"Are you okay?" I asked, which seemed to surprise Lia. She smiled after the initial shock, her eyes nearly closing as she beamed. She moved a bit closer and suddenly embraced me. My body tensed up. "You're really sweet," Lia said with a light laugh as she released me shortly after.
She licked her lips. "Yes, I'm fine," Lia replied, but that only made me look more concerned. I hummed in disbelief. "Sit down... I'll make you something to eat," I said, prompting a surprised look from Lia. She smiled briefly and nodded her head. "And you should make something for yourself," Lia added, which I immediately agreed to. I turned on the stove and placed a pot of water on it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeji POV
Tiredly, I yawned as I opened the door and kicked off my shoes. I had to pass by the living room where my eyes briefly landed on the American TV series currently playing. Then I noticed Lia sleeping on the couch, covered with what appeared to be a cardigan.
I gently shook the younger girl until she slowly opened her eyes. "Why are you sleeping on the couch? Go to bed," I whispered, a small smile on my face. Lia, however, looked around in confusion. She noticed the cardigan on her and chuckled. Slowly, she sat up and stretched.
"You know, I wouldn't be disappointed at all if you went out with Y/n," the younger one said, wiping the drool from her mouth. Surprised, my eyes widened. Lia smirked, "She was here and brought me cup noodles and stuff. She even prepared them. It seems like she was worried," Lia continued, her smile still present.
"What? Y/n was here?" I asked, my voice full of surprise. Lia nodded. I licked my lips and sat down on the couch. "She read the article. She was worried," the younger one added. My eyes grew wide as a smile formed on my face. "Have you two ever had a conversation all by yourselves?" I asked, visibly surprised.
Lia burst into laughter, her eyebrows raising. "Nope. You've really snagged someone good, so just tell her how you feel already," she said, placing her arm on the couch's backrest, looking at me with a mischievous grin. My eyes widened as my face flushed. "I don't understand what you mean," I replied, which made Lia laugh out loud.
She got up from the couch, her hand resting on my shoulder. "Sure, Yeji. Sure," the younger one said sarcastically as she laughed and headed to her room. I stared after her with my mouth open. Shortly after, my eyes fell on the cardigan on my lap. Lia had placed it there just before she left.
Lia knew...
My eyes shifted to my phone, and I opened the chat with Y/n. I immediately noticed the last few messages from her, asking what Lia liked and needed, and my responses. Nervously, I bit my lip.
Me (22:52): I heard you were here? Why didn't you tell me? I would have come home earlier.
I shook my head and deleted the message. I took a deep breath and started typing again.
Me (22:52): You left your cardigan here.
Y/n (22:53): Wow, if it isn't Hwang Yeji, the traitor 😩😕😞😣
I chuckled as I read her swift response. Still, I bit my lip nervously as I typed a reply.
Me (22:53): JYPE organized this meeting. I didn't know I'd see her.
Y/N (22:53): She even flirted with you!!!😤😤😞😣
Me (22:53): Jealous?
Y/n (22:54): Maybe 😉
Me (22:54): Well, maybe she was just being friendly.
Y/n (22:54): Friendly or not, I'd rather have you all to myself. 🥸😌
I couldn't help but blush at Y/n's reply. It was subtle but carried a hint of longing that sent shivers down my spine.
Me (22:55): That's quite possessive of you, Y/n 😏🫣
Y/n (22:55): Can you blame me? You're amazing ❤️🤭😏
I felt my heart skip a beat as I read her words. My fingers hovered over the keyboard as I contemplated my response.
Me (22:56): You're not so bad yourself, Y/n❤️
Y/n (22:56): Flattery will get you everywhere, Yeji 😏❤️
I chuckled softly, feeling the warmth of our conversation wrapping around me. It was a feeling I didn't want to let go of.
Me (22:57): Well, I wouldn't mind going everywhere with you.😳🤫
Y/n (22:57): Is that an invitation?
Me (22:58): Maybe it is 🤫🤔
The anticipation hung in the air as I waited for Y/n's response, my heart racing with every passing second.
Y/n (23:05): Well, it's getting late, Yeji. I should probably go to bed soon. 😴 but next time i WILL come over! 😏🫡🤗
Yeji (23:06): Yeah, you should get some rest. Sweet dreams, Y/n. 💤✨
Y/n (23:08): You too, Yeji. Dream about... something nice. 😉❤️
Yeji (23:10): Oh, I'm sure I will. Night, Y/n. 🌙😘🥵
Y/n (23:11): Good night, Yeji. Sleep tight. 😴🌟

Y/N POV
I caught my breath when I saw the woman in front of me. "Wow, you're beautiful," I exclaimed as I admired the woman before me. She sat right in front of me and replied, "No, you're beautiful." My forehead furrowed in response, "Bitch, no. You're beautiful!" I said, which made the woman burst into laughter.
My eyes widened a bit as I realized I had just used a profanity. Even Haewon beside me heard it and looked at me with wide eyes. I nervously smiled as I apologized to the fan. The woman of about the same age quickly reassured me and laughed along.
I smiled and promptly signed her poster and anything else she had bought. Her hand on my arm, she shared a story with me, and I listened with interest, nodding at times. Her fingers brushed over my arm repeatedly, which I only noticed after a while. My eyes widened in surprise. It was clear she was flirting.
Nervously, I started laughing and blushing a bit. Waving goodbye, I bid farewell to the fan as her time was up. The next fan approached, and we immediately started talking. A constant smile on my face, though I was always very nervous because I didn't really enjoy the attention. But it was nice to see that most fans were even more nervous, which helped ease my anxiety.

A Memorable Fan Meeting: Y/n's Unplanned Encounters and a Daring Remark
K-Pop Sensation Y/n recently held a fan meeting that left fans both thrilled and a bit shocked. The event was an intimate gathering where fans had the opportunity to meet their idol up close and personal. However, it was a particular interaction that stirred up conversations on social media.
The fan meeting took place in a cozy venue filled with excited fans who were eagerly waiting to meet Y/n. The atmosphere was electric as fans anticipated their brief moments with the beloved idol. One by one, they approached Y/n, who was genuinely appreciative of their support.
One fan, in particular, captured everyone's attention. As she approached Y/n, she couldn't help but express her admiration for the idol's beauty. "Wow, you're beautiful," Y/n was taken aback by the compliment but didn't hesitate to return it. "No, you're beautiful," she replied, resulting in a charming exchange of compliments.
However, what followed next raised a few eyebrows. Y/n playfully added, "Bitch, no. You're beautiful!" The use of the word "bitch" caught some fans off guard and even garnered mixed reactions from those in attendance. Some fans felt that Y/n's use of the word was inappropriate, while others found it amusing and saw it as playful banter.
Despite the playful remark, the fan meeting continued on a positive note. Y/n signed autographs, took photos, and engaged in heartfelt conversations with fans. One interaction, in particular, was noteworthy due to its flirtatious undertones.
As Y/n attentively listened to a fan's story, she gradually became aware of her touch. Her fingers traced her arm repeatedly, and it soon became evident that she was flirting with her. Y/n's nervous laughter and slight blush revealed her surprise at the unexpected flirtatious encounter.
The fan meeting ended with fans leaving with unforgettable memories and Y/n appreciating the unwavering support from her devoted followers. While the use of the word "bitch" may have raised a few eyebrows, it was just a momentary lapse in judgment during an otherwise heartwarming event.
In the world of K-Pop, where fans share a unique bond with their idols, such moments of spontaneity and genuine interactions are cherished. Y/n's fan meeting was a testament to the close relationship between idols and their fans, leaving everyone excited for future encounters and surprises.
Hate_Hunter: Seriously, Y/n? Using that word was totally inappropriate. Show some respect
NotImpressed: Y/n needs to be more professional. This isn't how you talk to fans.
User123: What a fun fan meeting! Y/n always keeps things interesting. 😄❤️
Cric101: Seriously, Y/n? Using the word "bitch" during a fan meeting is not cool. Show some professionalism.
KpopLover99: Y/n's playful banter makes her so relatable! Love her even more after reading this.
ForeverYnStan: This fan meeting was amazing! Y/n's interactions with fans are always so heartwarming.
LoveYnHateWord: Y/n, we adore you, but please be mindful of the words you use in public. It's disappointing to see you slip up like this.
SmileyFace: The word "bitch" might have been unexpected, but it's clear Y/n meant it playfully. Let's focus on the positive moments.
Disappointed_Fan: I expected better from Y/n. That language was unnecessary.
LaneMats: Playful or not, using that word is just disrespectful. Y/n, you need to apologize.
CuriousMind99: Hey, @KpopFanatic21, I've been wondering, is Y/n gay? Some of her interactions seem pretty flirty with fans.
MysterySolver123: @CuriousMind99, it's hard to say. Celebrities can be friendly and flirty without it implying anything about their sexual orientation.
CuriousMind99: @MysterySolver123, true, but Y/n has had some intriguing interactions with other female idols too. Could be a sign.
RespectfulFan456: Let's not jump to conclusions. Being playful and friendly doesn't define someone's sexual orientation.
PrivacyMatters77: Y/n's personal life is her own business. We should respect her privacy regardless of her sexual orientation.
ForeverYnStan: Absolutely, @RespectfulFan456. It's essential to remember that speculating about someone's sexuality can be invasive and hurtful.
WaitForConfirmation: Y/n has never publicly addressed her sexual orientation, so until she does, we shouldn't assume anything.

last summer - conrad fisher
warning: just fluff mostly ; mentions of sex , mentions of kissing. reader is belly’s older sister. why did this make me cry?!
The sun was beginning to set, and from the the counter of the Fishers kitchen you could see to the beach. The sun basked the room in an orange light. You liked to call this time the golden hour. You were making dinner for everyone, something you liked to do, you found cooking oddly calming. It was one of those days were the two families didn’t eat together, rather coming into the kitchen to source food whenever they were hungry. You left food out on the counter, a chicken salad. It sounded bland but everyone loved it, especially when you made it.
“Hey Y/N.” Conrad said, announcing himself as he entered the kitchen.
“Hey Connie.”
Conrad smiled faintly at the nickname, before moving towards the salad eagerly.
“Your famous chicken salad.” he said grinning at you as he grabbed a plate.
“Indeed.”
Conrad had been distant with everyone this summer, and you didn’t know why. You knew your sister, Belly, was upset with him. She always liked him, but now she seemed to be distracting herself in parties and debs and Cam Cameron. You still wanted to know why he was acting like this, and his mood seemed to be improved at the moment, so maybe it was a good time to ask.
“How you doing?” you asked, trying to seem casual. Conrad shot you a glare across the counter.
“My Mum didn’t set you up to this, or your Mum?”
“No of course not.”
He sighed.
“I’ve been asked the same question a million times already today.”
“Well maybe you should answer it.”
“I’m just off. That’s all. I don’t want to talk about it. Sorry if I’m being a jerk.”
“Belly’s really hurt. Apologise to her, not me.” you didn’t want to sound rude or jealous, but the tone was entirely wrong. Conrad raised an eyebrow at you.
“Sorry.” you rushed.
“You honestly think I care more about Belly?”
The question caught you off guard. Yes, you and Conrad had had a… moment, last summer, but you always believed his heart belonged to Belly.
“Yes, maybe. I don’t know.”
“Don’t you remember last summer?”
That was a silly question, of course you remembered last summer. You and Conrad had been slightly more flirty then usual all week. So when he offered for you to join him on a late night beach swim, you accepted. You put on your most flattering bikini, not bothering with a towel as you ran downstairs to meet him. You liked the way he looked at you in awe, his eyes staring at every curve of your figure. He had held your hand as you ran down to the beach. You had squealed with joy as you swam in the warm ocean, lit by the faint light of the moon. Conrad had watched as you swam excitably around. You splashed him him with water, giggling at his annoyed expression. He soon had a smile on his lips as he dove under the water, to attack your ankles. He came up behind you, intending to dunk you under, but you turned around to face him. You were so close, your faces inches apart. His eyes moved from your own, to your lips, yours doing the same. It was then he leaned in and kissed you. The kiss was soft and sweet, and his lips tasted salty from the ocean water. He had pulled you up so your legs wrapped around his waist. When you squeezed your legs around him he groaned softly. You decided to abandon the beach, sharing slopping kissing as you returned to the house. You found your room, kissing him, teeth clashing against each other as he laid you in your back. It was sweet and slow, just the right pace. You spent the night with your arms wrapped around each other. Waking up to the rays of sun shinning through your window. The last three days after, before you left, we’re spent kissing, swimming, loving. When you left he promised to keep in touch, to see you. He didn’t keep that promise, he never called or messaged. You accepted he thought it was a mistake, and wanted nothing to do with you. You moved on as best as you could, but a part of your heart always longed for Conrad Fisher.
You looked at Conrad, and he had a far away expression on his face, no doubt thinking the same as you.
“You never called. Or messaged. For a whole year, you ignored me. And when I come back you entirely pretend last summer didn’t happen? And then you ask me if I remember?”
“Y/N I was scared. I thought you thought it was just a summer fling. I..”
“If I thought it was just a summer fling why would I make you promise to keep in contact?”
“I don’t know. I just… you were to good to be true. I didn’t think you could ever love me. I thought maybe it was a joke. I thought I was a joke. I didn’t want to hurt you. I couldn’t bring myself to talk to you.”
“Your so stupid Conrad.”
He laughed lightly.
“If anything you were too good for me Connie. Don’t ever think I didn’t love you. I did, and you were certainly not a joke to me.”
“You did? As in past tense.” Conrad asked softly.
“I do. I couldn’t quite bring myself to stop loving you.”
“Same.”
You smiled at him, unsure of what to do now.
“C’mere.” he motioned for you to hug him.
You stepped into his embrace, allowing yourself to once again melt into his touch. He pulled back and placed his lips to yours. Sweet and slow, just like before.
“What do you think about a late night swim, sweetheart?”
“Yes. 1000 times yes.”
guys i cried writing this, especially when she was like remembering the last summer. hope you enjoyed and don’t copy my work pretty pls! <3

The Usual | venom Snake x Reader
Duh they like each other.
Does this count as angst? I don’t think. 
Wordcount: 2300
The Usual 
The blue sky above was riddled with soft, puffy clouds and a shy sun whose rays peeked out with glee, creating a lovely, tranquil sight for those who gazed up at the atmosphere throughout the hours of the day. There was a certain calm that came as it was paired with the water’s soft, background sound, that, in a way served as a lullaby of it’s own to many of the MB personnel.
At the moment, (f/n)’s (e/c) colored eyes gazed up, the woman holding many secrets, many unsaid words that were thoughts locked in her chest, withheld from even her closest confidant, who by then had found her sight just as mesmerizing as she seemed to believe the canvass above her was.
She seemed so thoughtful , and while he would gladly listen to those thoughts, he'd never pry, never force her to tell him anything she didn't want to because she did the same for him. 
- And he had plenty that he couldn't speak.
So, he stood by, waiting, ready to give her comfort, doing just the same as she did for him, perhaps with less of a charming effect, but with the same kindness intended.
Calmly, with quiet steps to not disturb her peace, Snake crossed over the platform, reaching her in little time, just as she seemed to grow weary of the silence she'd surrounded herself with.
She then turned, and as she did, she ran into him, the look of surprise she wore quickly overpowered by her grand smile, 
"Snake!" she gasped, nearly jumping out of her skin with a slight spook, but still having it in her to shine brightly afterward,  "When did you get back?" she asked with that dazzling expression he was always grateful to witness.
His head tilted down just a bit, his chin tucking into his chest slightly as he closed his eyes and a smile of his own came into view, the rather sheepish expression giving her all the more reason to keep her own grin up.
"-Not that long," he told her,  remembering how she'd promised to be at the LZ upon his arrival, which she wasn't. 
Admittedly, he'd been disappointed because that was the face he searched for, it’d been something he anticipated, but then again, it wasn't like he wanted her to put everything on hold for him. 
She’d said so playfully, so maybe she’d only been teasing.
Maybe.
Besides, it wasn't like he wanted to be her center, because he knew what that meant, what that would become.
For a man like him, such a connection was nearly impossible. 
And for a woman like her, such a man meant inevitable pain, and suffrage.
They were friends, confidants. 
They were just ... close.
So, there was nothing more to expect than what was already given.
Even if sometimes all he wanted was to be around her.
Even if all she wanted was to do the same.
He didn’t ask why she hadn’t been out there like she said she would, instead, he was concerned over what brought her out and made her gaze so whimsical, so thoughtful.
"What's on your mind?" he asked her, wanting to know what she'd share, and the question made her eyes avert.
'You...' she thought to herself, feeling warm, feeling inspired.
- And the smile that took over was different from the one before. 
It was much less excited, and much more reserved, yet held a linger of something endearing in it that had his heart swell.
he took notice that the times he asked that, that  particular smile formed, but again, he didn't pry, because it was something locked in her chest, something he was afraid to truly discover because it meant demanding more.  
How she wanted to tell him, how she wanted to say just that simple word to his question every time he asked, but like a coward, one afraid of what would come after, she shook her head in silence.
Painful, awful silence that ate her whole with upset.
A bemused chuckle left her before she looked at him with eyes that certainly held some sort of sadness, sadness she dare not voice,
"Ah,” she breathed, “the usual," she answered back.

Prompt #19: Turn a Blind Eye
Tumblr media
For the greater part of my career, casting directors were willing to overlook the mounting tension between Valerie Salacia and I as a petty catfight between two actresses racing for the pinnacle of their careers. And really, were they so wrong to say so? Rearranging seating charts and rumormongering were at the low end of our respective potentials, even I can admit as much, and it kept the Cantilena’s press operators on fire for its weekly publishing, which in turn fueled ticket sales. We were a cultural tour de force, her and I, commanding levels of fascination that hadn’t been seen since Appolinar and Fulgencio’s tit-for-tat, which ended in infidelity, pregnancies, and drug overdoses, doubtlessly a tough act to follow. All in all, a healthy ecosystem for show business, and I think you’d be hard-pressed to find that any of us disagreed. Content with this arrangement, they became as frogs in a heating pot, and the water was boiling before they all discovered they’d let it go too far to turn back.
The night I well and truly unsheathed my claws was to be a run-of-the-mill live interview for my work on Time Unwinding. I knew I was sharing a guest slot with Salacia (doubtless the intent of the cunning host), but resolved to maintain my composure; I’d been overexposed, my publicist cautioned me, and it was time to recede out of the burn of the spotlight for at least a week. I had no reason to doubt her advice, and so I decided to have a drink to soothe my anger before my stage call and steel myself to be the bigger person. Valerie, however, had her own designs on the evening, starting with the bottle of red wine I requested on every set.
“Our next guest needs no introduction. You know her, you love her, you love to hate her. Let’s welcome Marcella Maxime.” 
I put back a good two glasses before I was called to stage and I was feeling good about the odds of making it through the appearance without being intentionally catty or malicious. I strode across the stage draped in a rich emerald green number that made me feel royal and expensive next to the cheap, tawdry glitter and glitz of my rival, waving to the audience with a summoned smile. I never noticed anything amiss in their reaction before placing myself on the couch next to the viper, herself.
“Marcella, it’s good to have you back.”
“Thank you, Erasmus. My aesthetician tells me the same thing every day.”
A wave of polite laughter rises from the audience, but doesn’t quite die down even as the host continues to speak.
“Does she...?” He asks curiously, then pauses before he presses further. “Marcella, did she tell you that this morning, as well?”
I tilt my head slightly, my smile frozen. What a strange question. “Well, I know I’m not renowned for my comedy, Ras, but that’s the implication of the joke. She’s grateful I’m still employed, and in turn employing her.”
I can hear an odd titter break out in the audience as their murmuring grows louder, and Erasmus is studying me intently.
“Are you sure her paychecks are current, Ms. Maxime? Because it seems to me she may be upset with you.”
My blood runs cold, and my heart is pounding my ears. My eyes sweep from the host’s desk to the audience, then reluctantly land at Valerie’s expression. She regards me with her mouth pressed into a thin line, a suppressed grin that’s fit to burst. Do something. But what?
“Well, let me have a look and get to the bottom of this,” I bluff with a humored lilt, and reach into my clutch for my compact. The silver lid lifts and I search the mirror for the source of the interest, feeling the stage lights grow hotter and hotter. My makeup is immaculate, lipstick unbudged by the wine glasses. I open my mouth to protest and find myself face to face with a blue-tinted mouth, my teeth faintly stained with ceruleum blue. My pulse halts, breath held tight, but everyone is waiting to see what happens next. I gather my resolve and snap the case shut again.
“Oh, this little thing?” I hear myself say, but I’ve divorced from my own body by now. The only thing I’d consumed since leaving the makeup chair was that red wine, dark enough to hide the dyes she must have paid a runner to drop in. “I’m preparing for my next role, you see. It’s a thrilling number about a woman who is half-machine. I thought I’d take a little sip of ceruleum and see if I could step into the part...”
I thought I’d buried my origins well and truly in the past; when I moved out of Silvestre, I became a new girl who in turn became a new woman, old skins shed and left to crumble when they outlived their usefulness. I don’t know how Valerie came by the intuition to come after me this way, but it was the day I decided I was no longer satisfied with simply questioning the wingspan of Salacia’s spread eagle when she went into casting calls, or slipping bills from palm to palm until her valet got conveniently mixed up, making her late to press junkets. Since that day, I’ve been out for blood.

Confessions pt. 2
Edmund pevensie X Reader
Summary: Things between Edmund and Y/N have seemed to have smoothed over, but she can't shake the feeling that Lucy and Susan may have been right...
A/N: i had the whole thing typed out, and then it kicked my off and didnt save anything😭👎 but here's pt. 2, finally. it's short:)
Part 1
Tumblr media
"Edmund! Wait up!" Y/n exclaims chasing the boy along the beach. He had finally stopped ignoring her, and it was back to normal between the two.
"No, come on Y/n!!" Edmund says laughing as his feet hit the water. The girl stops and takes a moment to study the boy as the sunlight glistens against his fair skin, his hair blowing slightly with the breeze. Ethereal she thinks to herself before running to him. "Took you long enough!" He teases and splashes some water up at her.
"Oh you're so on Pevensie!" She squeals before leaning down and splashing a handful back at the boy with a mischievous grin. He shakes his head smiling before (poorly) running after her through the water. Laughing and splashing the whole time. Edmund catches Y/n in the water and holds her close. His heart pounding so hard she can feel it against her chest. breathing heavily she looks up at him,
"I've missed this, us. I didnt mean to make you upset these past few weeks if thats what it was Ed, I'm just happy to have my best friend back," He pulls away, and looks at her with guilt,
"Y/n I'm sorry. You didn't make me upset, I just," he trails off thinking over what he's to say to the girl to make her believe it's not her fault.
Peter and Caspian had always teased the younger boy about his best friend, over any and everything.
He'd save her spot at the table beside him, and "ooos" could be heard from the two snickering boys across the table.
Once he'd finished a book and had annotated it for her as a birthday present. She was so happy with it she gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him turn ripe red.
"Did you see that? He's a red as a tomato!" Peter exclaimed with a shit eating grin nudging Caspian.
"Do you want one from me as well Ed?" Caspian said laughing, simply making the poor lovesick boy shrink back with embarrassment.
Even thinking about it now makes him cringe. He had just been so angry with them that he stopped talking to Y/n all together to avoid the teasing remarks. He feels terrible about it now, but with all the time away from her, he's come to realize he really does have feelings for the girl. Sighing, he shakes his head.
"Look, it really isn't your fault at all. I was just so sick and tired of the constant teasing I got about you from Caspian and Peter. I know that isn't a reason to avoid you, and I feel horrible about it honestly. Distancing myself from you has been terrible and boring and I wish to never do it again. It made me realize some things though Y/n." He takes a breath, "I am in love with you, truly and completely in love with you. I mean of course I am, you're so kind and understanding. You're lovely and funny. My family loves you. You're the only person I feel comfortable around one hundred percent of the time. I feel no need to hide any part of me from you. Y/n I don't know what I was thinking when I tried to push you away. I just know I don't want it to happen anymore, and I understand if you don't feel the same way and just want to be friends, but I need you to know I love you. So much and that I'm so sorry for making you think you did anything wrong."
He looks at her, scanning her face for a sign of resentment or disgust. Only to see her break out into a huge grin. She pushes him,
"You idiot!" She exclaims shaking her head, "Honestly Edmund, how stupid do you have to be to not realize that I've been in love with you for months." His eyes widen,
"what?" he questions her, "that's not funny. Did Peter put you up to this?" She shakes her head,
"No. Edmund Pevensie I am in awe of you. From your goofy grin to the bed head of yours, I love it all." She smiles at him.
"Can I kiss you?" he asks, his voice small, "Please?" A smile breaks out on her face and she nods. She'd thought about what'd it be like to kiss Edmund many times. It was nothing like this, this was everything and so much more. He was gentle, his lips soft against her own. Her hands went to his hair, and he smiled into the kiss before pulling away.
"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that." He says and she nods,
" I think I know how you feel," she laughs, "and for future reference. Don't ignore me again." she pushes him lightly, and he grins,
"I won't, I promise." He says as they start to walk back to the castle hand in hand.

Subspace.
A/N: This has been in my drafts for aaaaaggggeees, I actually forgot I’d written it 🤣, another different sort of writing and I hope you all enjoy (Please remember this is a work of fiction)! 💕💕
Summary: The first time Tom realises his girlfriend is stuck in subspace.
Warnings: Mentions of sex (Minors do not engage), talks of a dom! x sub! relationship, swearing, mentions of an injury.
Something is wrong with you and Tom can’t put his finger on it. You’re not yourself and haven’t been since last night. You seem almost out of it, as if you’re here but at the same time not.
“Shit.” You muttered out as you caught your foot on the edge of the couch and fell onto your knees. This is what Tom is talking about, you’re not usually this clumsy but this morning? You’ve had his heart hammering in his chest more times this morning than you have in the last year of dating.
“Darling, are you okay?” Tom asked as he helped you to your feet, a complete look of concern in his eyes.
“Yeah, just lost my footing.” You smiled as you flopped onto the couch. “Think my legs are still recovering.” You huffed out through a laugh.
“Are you sure? You’re a lot clumsier than normal.” Tom was concerned now, it was growing inside his stomach and he couldn’t shift it, he just couldn’t put his finger on what was going on with you.
“Like I say, I think my legs are still a bit shaky from last night.” You shrugged as you trained your eyes onto the TV.
You’d had an intense session last night, you’d had multiple orgasms and both of you had had earth shattering ones to finish off, the kind that knocked him out almost completely, how tired he was washing over him in an instant. It had been one of your more intense sessions in fourteen month relationship, although you had a dom, sub relationship it was never too out there. Orgasm denials, multiple orgasms, light choking, him tying you up were as far as you’d ventured so far.
**
Tom only grew more concerned as the day went on, especially when he walked through to the living room at 1pm and found you still on the couch. You were in the same position he’d left you in almost two hours ago.
“Darling,” Tom asked and you mindlessly hummed in response. “You’re meeting your friend in twenty minutes.” He pointed out and he watched as you picked your phone up and checked the time, panicking as you saw it.
“Shit, shit, shit. Lost track of time.” You said as you shot past him and upstairs. Of course Tom understood that anyone could lose track of time, it just happened. But you? No, you were the most organised and punctual person he knew, if you said you would be somewhere, you’d turn up ten minutes early, you didn’t do late.
You quickly rushed out a ‘love you’ with a quick kiss to his cheek as you practically ran out of the door. Tom found himself thanking the Gods that you weren’t driving with how you’d been this morning.
**
You came back a few hours later, rushing into the living room and practically throwing yourself at him. You were cold from the winter air and it made Tom shiver slightly at the sudden temperature change he was experiencing.
“You okay?” He asked as his hand came to the back of your head, your face stuffed into his chest.
“I missed you.” You sniffled and Tom was taken aback, this was normal when he’d spent weeks away from you, but hours? You were a pretty independent person, although you and Tom were extremely close, you were by no means completely attached at the hip.
“I missed you too.” Tom comforted as he squeezed you, you pulled yourself closer, making him shift so you could straddle him. Clinging to him as if he’d disappear, although you were a cuddly person by nature you were usually happy just cuddled into his side as you watched TV. 
“You did?” You asked as you pulled back to look at him, excitement in your eyes, almost like a child. Tom furrowed his brows, this was unusual, like he says, you’re an independent person, you were acting like you needed him to say it, needed him to reassure you.
Of course, there had been times where you had needed that from him, when the media or the fans had been pretty hard on you but as far as he was aware that wasn’t the case right now.
“Of course I did.” Tom reassured as he ran his thumb over your cheek and you leant into the minor touch, making Tom take your face in his hand. You seemed to be craving his touch, it seemed to be something you needed he observed over the next hour.
You stayed in his lap, whining when he stopped running his hand over your back or through your hair. Nuzzling so far into him that he was sure you were trying to get inside him, when he got up to go into the kitchen you’d trail behind him like a lost puppy. All of your behaviours making Tom grow more and more concerned over you.
In the last few hours you’d seemingly lost coordination of your body, lost track of time and now you were almost emotionally and physically needy. Not that Tom would ever call you needy, or mean it in a bad way, he just didn’t know how else to describe how you were being.
**
The last straw came when you were making a brew for the two of you, after spending all day seemingly trying to make him happy, needing confirmation from him that your actions were indeed making him so.
“Did I put enough milk in your tea?”
“Yeah,” Tom furrowed his brows, “why?”
“I can make you another if not.” You panicked.
*
“Did I get the right one?” You asked as you brought a blanket down from the bedroom.
“I never specified which one I wanted.” Tom laughed and watched a panicked look escape you.
“Well when you said a blanket you must have had one in mind, I can go and get it.”
“Darling, calm down.” Tom said with furrowed brows as he forced you to sit with him and trying to stop your panic.
“I just want to make sure you’re happy. That I’m not misbehaving.” You said through a panicked voice and Tom’s concern hit a level he wasn’t sure was possible. Misbehaving? You weren’t a child, you weren’t his pet.
“Baby, you do make me happy.” Tom said. “What’s going on with you? What do you mean misbehaving?” Tom asked and he watched as you shrugged.
“I just want to make sure I’m being good.” You shrugged as you settled back down.
*
Tom watched as you filled the cup in your hand, the water rising and before Tom could stop it happening, it happened. The water overflowed and poured out onto your hand, you hissed in pain as you pulled it from the cup, putting the kettle down as you did.
“Fuck darling.” Tom panicked as he instantly grasped your arm and shoved your hand under the cold tap.
“That hurt a bit.” You said and Tom’s eyebrows shot up.
“A bit? Y/N/N, you’ve just practically scolded yourself.” Tom panicked as he continued to keep your hand under the cold tap. “Where were you?” He couldn’t stop himself from asking.
“I don’t know, I feel a bit,” you paused as you thought of the word. “Floaty,” you settled on.
“Floaty?” 
“Yeah, I feel like I keep drifting off today. I’m sorry, have I upset you?” You suddenly asked, eyes finding his.
“Upset? What? Darling, what is going on?” Tom asked as he placed both his hands on your face. You’d just burnt yourself and you seemed more concerned about whether he was upset than your burnt hand.
“I don’t know.” You admitted as tears sprung to your eyes.
“Oh sweetheart.” Tom said as he pulled you into his chest, making sure your hand stayed under the tap. He held for a few minutes, placing kisses into your hairline as your silent tears wet his t shirt. He pulled back after a while, pulling your hand from under the tap to examine it, he was relieved to see no blisters, that you were extremely fucking lucky and had avoided a trip to A & E.
Your hand was still red raw and had a heat to it so Tom grabbed a tea towel and drenched it in cold water, wrapping it around your hand.
“Tommy, I’m tired.” You said almost childlike, almost as you do when you’re in a drunken state. “I’m really tired.” You said again.
“Okay, I’m gonna go and grab some burn cream and then I’ll put you to bed, okay?” He reassured as he led you upstairs and into the bathroom. Once in there he quickly applied the cream to your hand, he was thankful Sam had talked him into buying some, the chef in him reminding the family how bad burns could be. Once he’d dressed you, he helped you get into bed, pulling the covers over you.
“Wait, where are you going?” You asked as Tom was about to leave the room. “You’re not staying?” You asked in a small voice. Your behaviour had certainly taken a turn over the day.
“I can if you want me to?” He said and he watched you frantically nod your head. He cuddled you until you fell asleep and then carefully removed himself from the bed, careful in his every move not to wake you.
It wasn’t long before he was dialling his best friends number and asking him to come over.
“What’s up?” Harrison asked he plopped down on the couch next to Tom.
“Y/N/N.” Tom sighed and Harrisons brows shot up in concern.
“Has something happened? Is she okay?” 
“I don’t know.” Tom huffed out as he ran a hand through his hair. “She’s not been herself today and I don’t know what to do.” Tom admitted.
“How’d you mean?”
“Well for starters she spent most of this morning tripping over things. She lost track of time earlier on today, you know her, she doesn’t do that.” Tom sighed and Harrison shrugged.
“Maybe she genuinely did, we can’t all be perfect.” Haz laughed and Tom looked at him seriously.
“Haz, she’s been, needy. Like I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, just out of character. She told me she didn’t want to ‘misbehave.’” Tom said and Haz furrowed his brows in thought.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.” Tom shrugged.
“Are you guys like, you know.” Harrison started nervously before collecting himself with a deep breath. “Do you have a dom, sub dynamic?” He asked and Tom furrowed his brows for what felt that the millionth time that day.
“Yeah.” Tom answered carefully.
“And is she the sub?” He asked.
“Harrison.” Tom warned, he wasn’t one to discuss the ins and outs of his sex life with other people, he saw it as a private thing between two people.
“Just,” Haz sighed. “Hear me out, please. Is she?”
“Yeah.” Tom answered again, carefully.
“Have you had a session recently?” He asked again and Tom nodded in response, he was lost, what the fuck did this have to do with anything? “When you engage in your dom side, do you, you know, like ‘punish’ her for misbehaving?”
“Harrison, what the fuck has this got to do with-” Tom cut himself off as realisation dawned on him. You’d been a brat yesterday and he’d acted accordingly.
“It’s called subspace mate.” Harrison said.
“But this has never happened before? Why would it happen now?”
“It doesn’t always happen, sometimes it just takes her hormones being out of balance. Maybe she slipped into it and you never fully coaxed her back, would explain why she’s stuck in a sub mentality.” Haz shrugged.
“But I’ve done everything we normally do in aftercare, I’ve looked after her, reassured her.” Tom reeled off.
“Maybe she’s looking for her dominating partner to bring her back?” Haz suggested. “Try being more forceful.”
“I don’t wanna push her Haz, she fucking burnt herself earlier, completely on another planet when she made a brew.” 
“Maybe you have been doing without realising it.”
“What?”
“Kept her in subspace, you’ve coddled her. Made her feel safe, taken care of. Look, I don’t know Tom, every woman is different but it sounds like based on her behaviour, that you have pulled her further under without meaning to.” 
“Okay, thanks Haz.” Tom said. They enjoyed a good hour or so together, catching up before Tom’s phone pinged with a message from you asking where he was. Tom sighed as he read it.
“Try being a little firmer with her.” Harrison suggested and Tom nodded as he said goodbye to his friend. “Don’t beat yourself up, these things take trial and error and as long as you are both safe, happy and learning it’ll be okay.” Harrison reassured as he placed a comforting hand on his friends shoulder before heading out.
Tom collected himself as he made his way back into your shared bedroom. Your eyes instantly finding his as you flew out of the bed and into his arms, he took a deep breath before his next move. Clearly he needed to change tactic, he just wasn’t sure which one you needed.
“Y/N,” he said as he pulled you back, holding you at arms length as he looked you deeply in the eye. “I need you to come back.” He said and he watched as you furrowed your brows.
“What do you mean? I’m here?”
“You’re not, not properly.” Tom said a little firmly. “You’re still in that floaty place, as you called it.”
“No, Tom.” You laughed. “I feel floaty, I didn’t go anywhere.” You giggled.
“You did and now I need you to come back.” He tried again.
“Tom, you’re being silly.” You laughed again, “I’m right in front of you.” You said, “see you’re touching me.” You continued as you gestured to his hands on your shoulders. Tom didn’t miss your tone, your bratty tone, he changed tactic, eyebrow raising in challenge.
“What did you just call me?” Tom asked, voice demanding, the same tone he used when he was ‘punishing’ you in bed. He watched as you smirked.
“I called you silly.” You challenged and Tom hummed as he backed you into the wall.
“Are you being a brat princess? Are you sure that’s what you want to go with right now? You’re making it sound like you want me to punish you.” He said, lips close to yours as his breath fanned your face, your breath hitching as you shook your head.
“No, I’m sorry, I don’t want to misbehave anymore.” You said and Tom looked you directly in the eyes.
“Then I want you to come back.” He spoke, voice laced in a tone that had told you to ‘get on the bed’, ‘cum for me.’ He watched as an understanding flashed across your eyes and Tom continued. “Come on princess, I need you to come back. I need my Y/N.” He whispered as he captured your lips in his own. “It would make me happy if you did.” He finished.
He watched as your eyes became less vacant, slowly coming back as he coaxed you out with well placed kisses and demands. It wasn’t long before your hand wound into his hair and Tom sighed in relief as his head found your neck.
“That was fucking weird.” You snorted, voice completely your own. 
“That’s never happened before.” Tom said as he pulled back to look at you.
“It was so strange, it’s like I needed you to be the opposite of how you are during aftercare. I just kind of stayed in subspace last night.” You rambled.
“You knew you were in subspace?”
“Well yeah, you’ve done it before but you always coaxed me out of it.” You admitted and Tom looked confused.
“What happened last night? Why didn’t it work?” Tom panicked, had he missed something? 
“Don’t know.” You shrugged. “I suppose you fell asleep quicker than usual and I had one of the best orgasms I think I’ve ever had.” You said and you took in the look on Tom’s face. “Hey, don’t beat yourself up, it happens.”
“But I missed it.”
“Yeah but you still kept me safe. That’s what this is about right? Having fun and being safe. Tom you make me feel so safe, how do you think I end up in subspace sometimes, it’s a different kind of pleasure. As a sub I make myself completely vulnerable to you and you make me feel so safe and wanted and the level of trust I have in you is off the charts and sometimes it just happens, sometimes I drift off.”
“Maybe we pushed it too far.” Tom said as he took your hand in his, placed a kiss to the back of your injured hand. “I couldn’t protect you from this.”
“Tom,” you sighed. “The burn was a mistake, you can’t protect me from everything. If you’re worried I regret what we did last night because of this then don’t be. I don’t regret anything we’ve tried and I trust you, okay? Remember that one time I used the safe word and you stopped immediately and took care of me?” You asked and Tom nodded.
“This is something that does take an element of trial and error, getting fully used to everything that can happen. You took care of me, you brought me back, Tom I trust you completely with me.” You continued. “I’ve never given myself over to someone the way I have you and I’m glad, I’m glad I get to experience these things with you and I wouldn’t change it or you for the world.”
“I promise I won’t miss it next time.” Tom reassured and you smiled as you kissed him.
“I don’t doubt that for a second.”

"Why me of all people?"
Characters: Shinichiro Sano x F!Reader
Word Count: 1277
A/N: Enjoy this quick writing I made. It was just to get my brain started before I continue on writing my Tokyo Revengers fan fiction. Requests are open, feel free to leave requests but make sure to read my pinned post first. Thank you!
Tumblr media
There was no doubt that Shinichiro Sano was a woman's dream man. So, you instantly knew you had no chance with him. He was popular, respected by many people, a family man, humble, kind, and of course, he was the most attractive guy you've met so far.
And, as for you? Well, let's just say you were a problem child. Yes, you have good grades and are talented in a lot of aspects. But, at the same time, you were the type of person who sneaks out at 10 P.M. and doesn't know how to properly dress herself. In short, everyone was intimidated by your unpredictable nature.
One day, you were fixing the mess in your locker since you stocked up a lot of things for your extracurricular activities. As you closed your locker door, you were startled to see Shinichiro reading the school newspaper while leaning on the locker beside yours.
"What do you need?" You irritatingly asked since you had your monthly visit at that time. "Uhm, wanna go out sometime?" He focused his attention on you as he closed the newspaper. "Excuse me, what? From all I know, we're the total opposites. Are you sure you’re asking the right person? I’m Y/N L/N." You rolled your eyes at him and started to walk away while you hugged your textbooks. He followed you and started talking, “I wouldn’t follow you if I wasn’t sure, right?” You stopped walking from what he said. You looked at him with disinterest in your face. “I’m sorry, but no. You might be everyone’s dream man, but I heard you’re a womanizer. So, goodbye, and have a nice day. Don’t bother me anymore.”
When you got home, you realized that you just turned down someone way out of your league. And, you didn’t have a clue why he was so interested in you. You were wearing plain blue denim jeans and a white shirt. Overall, you were just a plain girl. But, you heard stories of countless girls crying over Shinichiro.
But, that day, you thought he would stop.
He would follow you around in the hallway and try to talk to you. He would have his friends force you to go to where he was. He and his gang once went to your house and serenaded you, which made your mother push you to him. For 2 months, he never stopped doing this. No matter how many times you rejected him. The two of you had a class together, and in that class, while you were busy taking down notes, someone threw a piece of crumpled paper in your head. When you turned around, his friend, Takeomi, told me to open it. Of course, there was a question in the paper “Go out with me?” And the only two options were yes or a BIG YES. You threw the paper right back at him. What you did was you put another box below the word “or” and that’s what you shaded. Takeomi gasped in disbelief and the teacher was distracted. You turned to look at Shinichiro with a victorious smile, yet he wasn’t looking back with a playful smile. He looked really upset.
Days have passed by, and Shinichiro has stopped bothering you. But, it felt like something was missing. You saw him and his friends on the school parking lot on their motorcycle, ready to go. But, when your eyes met him, your heart started to beat faster than normal. And, that’s when you had the urge to call him. But, to your shock, he ignored you. This is when you came to a conclusion that he might really like you and his feelings were genuine. Heck, you admitted to yourself that you like him too. No gossip had been spread ever since he started to go after you. Which only means that he wasn’t playing with your feelings after all.
You were getting miserable, really. You didn’t realize that all his peskiness made you drawn to him even more. Every day, you’d think, “what kind of facade would he do now?”
And, you just found yourself to be in his garage, waiting for him. It was raining and you didn’t bring an umbrella. You just waited until he came back. When your surroundings got a little darker, you noticed someone was shielding you from the rain. And, when you looked up, you saw Shinichiro.
“Hey! It’s raining, why are you here?” Suddenly, along with the rain, your tears were falling. You were thankful for the rain for hiding your emotions. But, he seemed to notice. He eventually sat with you in the rain. “You never believed I like you, huh?” You nodded your head since you were unable to speak. He sighed before he started speaking, “Y/N, you were amazing. Yes, I’ll admit, it started as some kind of bet between me and my friends that I can make you fall in love. But, slowly, I realized you were like no other girl I’ve met before. Through the times you try to ignore me, I am observing you. And, that’s when I knew I messed up, but in a good way. Because I was so whipped for this girl I’ll never have a chance with. I eventually gave up on the idea that you’ll agree to go out with me. But, that’s fine.” He looked down on the ground. “You know Shinichiro, you’re a pain in the ass. You were the cause of my headache. And, I didn’t have a clue why you would even pursue a nobody like me. The question I have in my mind is why me of all people?” You slightly raised your voice. He looked at you as he gave you a painful smile. “Because even if you saw me as an enemy, I saw you as an angel. The only reason I agreed to that bet was that I already had my eyes on you for the longest time. I know you won’t believe me, but Y/N, I didn’t choose you because you were interesting to me. I chose you, or rather my heart chose you because you’re everything I want in a person.” Your eyes widened in surprise. For the first time, you smiled at him and said, “Well, even if you annoy me most of the time, I can’t help but fall for you.” He slowly looked at you, almost like he was scared. But, that expression soon became him jumping in the puddle of rain, and the water splashing on you. He helped you get up as he carried you. He spun you around which made the drops of rain hit your faces harder. “Trust me, I’ll make you the happiest girl.”
“And, that’s how my story with your father began.” You said as your daughter started to yawn. But, your son still wanted more stories. On the door, Shinichiro, your first and last, and the love of your life, was standing in the door who seemed to hear everything you told your children. “Yeah, your mom is more stubborn than ever. I realized I was up for a challenge when she became my girlfriend. But, you two are the product of our love.” He gently said as he caressed the hair of your son.
It was his turn to tell his story while you were cuddled up in his arms. You never imagined this is what your life would be like. But, with Shinichiro, he makes every day a perfect day. And, now, even after hating him, you’re happily married to him and you’re still so damn in love with your husband.

WandaNat x Reader : Inhale pt. 2
Tumblr media
Summary: She never ceases to surprise you.
Warning: Smoking, Cursing, One Suggestive Joke
Word Count: 1,998
Part 1
* * * * * *
The white paint stares back at you as you lay on your bed. Your view of the ceiling is obscured by the red ball you toss up into the air. It gets slightly smaller as it moves away from you, then larger as it falls back down. 
Your hand catches it and throws it back up into the air, repeating the same process as the tv plays on monotonously from the corner of the room.
Boredom has been washed over you for the past few days. Your girlfriends went on a mission last week. You were able to pass the time during the first week, keeping yourself distracted by hanging around the team, training with Steve, going for a run every time your fingers twitched towards the cigarettes you had hidden in your closet. All of that was failing to work right now.
It seems, though, that you don’t have to suffer through it much longer. F.R.I.D.A.Y chimes up after hours of quiet with an alert that Natasha and Wanda were back and heading to the room. 
You instantly perk up, pushing yourself to a sitting position on the bed and glancing at the door frequently, ready for your girls to walk in. Except they don’t.
The gleeful, happy to be home, response you were expecting is replaced by their clearly upset demeanors. A frown sits on Wanda’s face like you’ve never seen and Natasha’s expression remains neutral. 
They don’t acknowledge you save for a glance in your direction. Both of them go into the closet and quickly change into more comfortable clothes. In an instant afterwards they’re leaving out. And you’re left beyond confused.
With the possible reasons for their behavior and clear attitudes in your head, you don’t take offense to it. You give them some time to cool off, going back to tossing your ball in the air and catching it as you watch tv. 
Around an hour or two later you decide they’re fine now, or at least fine enough to talk to. So you get up, heading first to the kitchen to grab a bottle of cold water and then to the general training room. 
The sound of familiar huffs and the pounding of fists against a leather bag let’s you know your assumption was right. Your redheaded love is off to the fair side of the gym, headphones in her ears as she beats on the punching bag. 
You smirk at the sight of her. Not only do her yoga pants and sports bra look great on her, you always find her focused and slightly aggressive expression kind of hot. She glances at you as you approach and you know she can hear you despite her headphones.
Stopping behind the bag, you lean on it, showing off your smirk to the woman.“ If you really want to work off your frustrations I can think of a good way to do so.” Natasha grunts, rolling her eyes and focusing on punching the bag. 
With a sigh, you move to her side, gently taking her taped up hands and moving in front of her. Forest green eyes look into yours and you give her your best encouraging smile. She knows what your silent question is and sighs.
“The mission went south. We suffered a civilian casualty and others got hurt.” Her expression and tone remain neutral but obviously she’s upset about this. It isn’t her first time dealing with this kind of thing from a mission but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t hate every bit of it. 
“I’m sorry to hear that baby.” You raise your hands to her arms and gently rub them, squeezing a little in between.
Natasha’s heart warms at your soft comforts.“ I’ll be okay. Wan is more torn up than I am. She-” The woman shakes her head,“ she blames herself.” 
You frown, prepared to ask for more details. Then you figure you can ask the girlfriend who’s more deeply affected by it. 
“I’ll go talk to her.” Natasha nods at your words.“ You gonna be okay?” A teasing smile forms on your lips.“ I know you’re my super tough ex-assassin but I’m here if you want to talk.”
Her lips tug up in the corner at your teasing words, but it quickly becomes a sincere smile when you offer your ear. Slowly reaching up, she runs the pad of her thumb along the apple of your cheek.“ I’m okay detka. I’ll let you know if I need to talk. Or your other services.” 
You chuckle softly and nod. Leaning forward, you press a soft, quick kiss to her lips and part, heading off to find your other girlfriend. The not so tough witchy one you love just as much. 
Finding the woman proved to be a little harder than you thought it would be. She wasn’t in any of the places you thought she would be in: the library, the theater, the common room. You wrack your brain for ideas as to where she is and when the last place pops into mind, you can’t believe you hadn’t thought of it first.
It’s a quick jog to the elevator and an even shorter ride up to the top floor. From there you take the stairs up to the roof. 
She’d stolen this spot from you a few months after you started dating. She and Natasha found you up there smoking once and through the year and a half she would find you up here, sometimes sneaking a smoke when you shouldn’t be. 
Her long brown tresses fall down her back freely, the rest of her beauty hidden as she faces away from you. Though you still find her insanely cute that she’s in your hoodie and some stretch pants. 
The long slow straightening of her form clues you in on her deep breath, her body relaxing as she lets it go. You only get a little confused when she pauses and does it again. A thought that you’re unsure of, but the physical cues make you curious. The familiar movement of her arm, the deep breath, the pause. 
“Wan?” You call with an indescribable look on your face. 
Your brunette girlfriend’s shoulders drop and she turns to you. Immediately your eyes focus on the small cylinder in between her fingers, watching as it rises and rests between her lips. 
She takes a quick pull, pauses, let’s a little smoke go, then it all comes out in a straight shot that disperses in the air. It’s such a smooth combination of actions that leaves you wondering if she’d done this before. 
Deciding to hold your comment on that until after she’s completely calm, you take a different route. Approaching her still pacing form, you cross your arms and ask,“ was it that bad?” 
A snort leaves her lips and she takes another drag.“ Worse.” 
“Tell me.” Your hand reaches for her free one and you pull her towards you as you sit on the ledge of the roof. 
Her hand squeezes yours. Your eyes drop from her green ones to her lips as they wrap around the cylinder again, cheeks caving a little, then her lips puckering slightly as she pushes the smoke out. 
“I heard Natasha get hurt,” she starts, fingers once again tightening around yours,“ I looked away for a split second and he got away. We caught him but not until after he shot the tires out on a car. It flipped and crashed into another one.” Her jaw clenches, eyes glossing with tears.“ He hurt a man and his son and- and killed a woman.”
A heavy sigh leaves your lips and you stand, pulling her a little closer to your form. You’d been down this road a number of times. Being on the Avengers team since the beginning almost, you know exactly what it’s like to make a mistake and have others pay for it. It was a deep hole that never ceased to make you hate yourself. But you didn’t want Wanda feeling that way. 
“Hey,” you reach a hand up to cup her cheek, looking into her eyes,“ I know that it hurts. And it’s easy to blame yourself. But it’s not your fault. He made the choices that resulted in that woman losing her life, not you.” 
“But I’m supposed to be the hero. I’m supposed to save people. And I didn’t.” Her accent thickens as she gets choked up, eyes glossing over.
You sigh, taking the cigarette from her hand and putting it out on the ledge, then pull her into your arms. Her head rests on your shoulder and her hands slip up to your shoulder blades.“ You are a hero. A great hero. However, you’re not a perfect one. None of us are. It sucks in situations like this but you can’t save everyone no matter how much we want to. It doesn’t make you a bad person or any less of a hero.”
From the flicker of emotions in her eyes, you can tell it’s still going to take some time for her to cope with this. Still though you see a glimpse of that soft look and you can also see that she believes you to a certain extent.
Raising your hand, you gently push the corner of her lips up. She whines and turns her head away, noncommittally pushing at your side. It makes you laugh and she presses her forehead against your chest.
“Wanna tell me where you got that cigarette from?” You ask. 
She pulls away, producing a pack of cigarettes. Brows furrowing, you flip the top up and count the cigarettes inside. There were four missing.
“Did you smoke four whole cigarettes before I got up here?” An incredulous tone laces your words, disbelief flooding your system. 
Has your habit rubbed off on her? You know she and Nat found it attractive but did that lead Wanda to try it? It’s a terribly unhealthy habit, which is why your girlfriends wanted you to stop, and you certainly didn’t want Wanda getting into it.
“No, I didn’t smoke four. I got these from your boot in the closet,” she tells you.“ Which means you smoked them.”
“I-” you try to think of what to say.“ That was over the course of a few weeks. I haven’t had one in months though.” You know you didn’t need to give her an explanation but you wanted her to know you were still doing well. 
Wanda and Natasha were very well aware of your progression towards quitting. They could even tell the difference in your behavior. Both women were incredibly proud and admittedly you were proud of yourself as well. You had confidence you would be able to completely quit in the fairly near future. 
The younger woman smiles softly at you,“ I know you haven’t. And you don’t have to worry about me starting. It’s actually very nasty and I didn’t feel it did anything for my stress.” 
“Good. I don’t want you forming an addiction and I don’t want to die if Nat found out you’d started by smoking my cigarettes.” 
“She knows now.” 
Nearly jumping a foot in the air, you turn around to see your other girlfriend smirking a little at you. A nervous chuckle leaves your lips and you scratch the back of your neck. 
Rolling her eyes, Natasha steps to the side to stand beside you and Wanda. Her hand slipping into yours, the other held up towards Wanda. 
Wanda sighs and places the pack of cigarettes in Natasha’s hand. The redhead pockets them then takes the younger woman’s hand.“ Neither of you smoke again.” She states plainly. 
Looking at Wanda, you both nod.“ Never again Miss Romanoff.” You and Wanda say simultaneously, bright smiles shown to Natasha.
It’d be harder than that for you but not impossible. Especially not with the support and encouragement of the two women you loved and needed the most.

Tumblr media
Note: This is a drabble for The Household’s Bunny Series
Pairing: Soft Yandere! Jungkook x Chubby! Reader x Soft Yandere! Hoseok
Word Count: 5k
Warnings: 18+, crying, lonliness, body image issues, unhealthy workout habits, abandonment, allusions to body dysmorphia, mommy issues, grinding, lustful thoughts, mentions of cumming, mentions of erections, pussy cupping (?), not rlly yandere although this is kinda a soft yandere series, obsessive behaviors, low self esteem, horrible communication, mentions of anxiety, mentions of car shaking
The house was quiet, and somehow knowing that no one else was home made your floor feel that much more empty. Granted, none of the guys came up all that often. Ever the gentlemen, they actively tried not to intrude on your space. Although, you really wish they did on days like these. It was 10am on a Saturday morning, although the lack of natural light could fool anyone otherwise. The clouds were heavy in the sky, cradling the sunlight in a thick blanket of grey, squeezing themselves for all the water they have. The rain tapped on your window, almost mocking you, reminding you that water was the only company you had.
You debated texting to ask if anyone wanted to come home and have a movie night, or build a fort, or just simply sit next to you, but decided you would just be bothering them. You had that very intimate moment with Jin and Yoongi, and they had remained sweet with you, but you weren’t able to be intimate with them again yet. They had been busy and you had been deprived of the very addicting affection. You’re sure they would come to you if asked, but you didn’t want to be clingy. The last thing you wanted to do was annoy them by following them around like a puppy just because they made you cum. They hadn’t explicitly stated they liked you as anything more than a friend, and you never wanted to go through the embarrassment of assuming such a thing again.
With college almost done, you had nothing to distract you from the looming loneliness you feel sometimes, and it was exhausting. You grew up by yourself, and you swore that would change when you were older. You were determined to be surrounded by people who loved you as much as you loved them, and yet, here you were. You were laying on a couch, watching the rain fall, all by yourself in a 10 floor renovated motel, reaping the consequences of high hopes and naivety your child self didn’t understand. You were never good at making friends, not that your plump figure helped you with your social drawbacks either. Although you made peace with your lack of charisma in person and have made strides to loving your body, the loneliness never subsided for long. 
There were few things you loved more than talking to people and having them listen to you and vice versa, and yet it rarely happened. Maybe you had been spoiled by your seven housemates, so it was making this bout of loneliness that much worse. Since moving in, there was almost always someone home making noise or even talking to you. However, they all told you summer was their busy season, and boy, they weren’t kidding. You had caught mere glimpses of the boys this week, only communicating via text and post it notes. 
You pressed your eyes closed for a moment as you listened to the rain. You thought of your mom. Her cheeks were chubby like yours and you remember her crying when she figured your metabolism was the same as hers, and you couldn’t understand why she hated herself so much that she wanted you to be nothing like her. Your mother had always been beautiful in your opinion, and it was a shame she never saw herself, or you, in that way. You thought about forcing yourself to go to the gym with her for hours on end, just to be able to be next to her. You had always been desperate for her company, desperate to be liked by her. Part of you regrets putting your body through that, but then a part of you is happy you were able to spend time with her until she left. 
Ah, yes, the day she left. That’s exactly what you should be thinking about right now, on a rainy day, all by yourself. You cringed when you felt a tear get a little too close to your ear, wiping it away. You were shocked when you felt even more in its wake. You always felt really silly when you cried, but you figured you might as well let it happen if you're gonna be home alone on a rainy day, thinking of all the ways people avoided spending time with you while you tried even harder to spend time with them. Who's next? Jungyoon? The uncle who took you in just to admit drunkenly how much the sight of you upsets him three hours into your 17th birthday. Your dad? No. That's not wise.
You sighed. Maybe if you had learned better social cues when you were younger, you wouldn't be a college graduate with no friends to talk to.
It didn't take long for you to break into full on sobs. You stuck somewhere between angry at the people who didn't want to be with you and sad that they didn't want to. Childishly, you deemed it wasn't fair and all you could do was cry. You hadn't had a day like this in a while, but holy shit did it suck each time.
Eventually, you ceased your tears and were left a red and puffy mess, so you decided to go to the kitchen to depuff your face with some ice. Then the rest of your day could only go up from here. You had your cry, and even though the elevator was going down, your day would only go-
OH NO WHY IS IT STOPPING AT FLOOR 5?!
You couldn't even think of who it could be as you looked in the mirror at the corner of the elevator and wished to evaporate. You had obviously been crying, terribly. Nevermind you were in a cropped long sleeve, short shorts, and thigh highs, your eyes were red and a little puffy, your cheeks were clearly tear stained, and even your lips were swollen. You couldn't, "oh, it's allergies." Your way out of this one.
"I didn't know you were home, Hobi." You murmured.
"Yeah, I just popped in real quick to grab something before I go back to…" Hoseok's smile dropped the instant he saw your face. You didn't even have the chance to look away, but you tried to anyway. He gently gripped your chin, guiding your eyes to meet his, "Bunny, is everything okay?" 
You pressed your lips together before nodding, "Yeah, it's just…" You glanced at his face, surprised to see him clinging onto your every word, "Sometimes, I get lonely." You shrugged as his eyes widened, "I get to thinking about my mom and…" You made vague hand movements as you shrugged.
He thought for a moment, “Even though we all kind of grew up together, we never really treated each other like more than roommates, but you’re here now.” He pulled you into a tight hug and you gasped before relaxing into his embrace. You closed your eyes for a moment as you held him close to you, "We've all been really busy, I didn't even consider how lonely you would feel." He lamented and you shook your head.
"I'm a big girl, I can be alone." Your words were muffled in his shirt, "It's just a little crying-"
"But you don't have to be alone anymore, and I don't want you to cry, none of us do." He placed a chaste kiss on your forehead, "Thinking about my mom used to really ruin my day, doesn't now, so don't worry, but that took time." You nodded, feeling tears creep in again.
"Thank you." You hummed as he pulled back, "Sorry to-"
He shushed you, putting his finger on your lips, shaking his head at your apology.He leaned his forehead on yours, making your breath hitch, "Do you want to go with me?"  He asked softly.
You blinked in confusion, "With you, where?"
His grin only widened and you looked to him skeptically, “Do you trust me?” He asked all too innocently and you nodded, “Then, do you want to go with me?” He asked again as he placed purple-tinted sunglasses on his face.
“I suppose…” You studied his smug face, “Let me go change-” You went to press the next floor so you could get off but were stopped with a soft grip from Hoseok.
“I’m in a bit of a rush, and you look great.” He smiled as the elevator reached the entrance.
You wanted to protest, but you let it be. Surely you would not stick out in the slightly scandalous outfit you were in.Truthfully, it was your body that seemed to make it scandalous to other people. Although, if you had a skirt on, it would just be a typical outfit for you, so maybe it wasn’t so weird? These thoughts ran through your mind as you slipped on some shoes and went into Hoseok’s very nice car. 
So are you gonna tell me where we’re going or…?” You asked as the renowned hair stylist drove with a smirk in response to your question, “Okay Mr. Mysterious, can I ask questions about it until we get there?” You asked cheekily.
He chuckled, “Of course, you can do whatever you want, baby.” His voice was silky smooth and the nickname shot straight to your nether regions and you scolded yourself for it.
“Are we going to a job of yours or am I just running errands with you?” You looked at his unwavering smile as you asked.
“A job, but the client will not mind if you’re there, before you ask.” He stole your next question by answering it smugly. You pursed your lips as you studied him. He was in a lavender dress shirt with the top two buttons undone and sleek navy blue slacks, all of which complimented his black hair. 
You, on the other hand, wore a baby pink turtleneck with the hem ending just barely above your matching form-fitting high-waisted fabric shorts, showing just a sliver of your stomach skin while a lot of your thigh skin was on display with white over-the knee socks. You had taken scandalous photos for your OnlyFans, and if you lifted your arms all the way up, a lacy bralette would greet the outside world. You were just feeling a bit self conscious considering the well dressed man in the car next to you. Sure, you looked cute, but was this level cute appropriate for his job? You didn’t want to make a bad impression and have that effect Hoseok.
“And here we are.” He sang and you snapped back to reality as he parked behind a building that had no defining qualities from the back. The ride went by in a flash and you pouted a bit at not even asking another question.
Ever the gentleman, he opened the door for you as he led you inside with him. The hallways were crowded with people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Judging by the bits of chatter you could pick up as you scurried behind Hoseok, this was a photography studio and a high-level star was having a photoshoot.
“Oh thank goodness you’re here!” A man that seemed to be in his late 30s sighed in relief when he saw Hoseok, “He is in the worst mood today, and I’m so frightened-who is that?” The man’s wild eyes fixated on you for the briefest of moments and he realized your puffy features and shook his head, “Whatever, just go in there and calm him-”
“This is our housemate, y/n, and the shoot isn’t for another 30 minutes and he just needs hair, right?” Hoseok spoke calmly in spite of the chaos surrounding the both of you as the man nodded, “Great, I just need to touch him up and we’ll calm him down in time to take some good photos.” The man nodded tiredly, “Is the dressing room empty now?”
“Yeah, he kicked everyone out so he could calm down, but that never works.” The man cried out helplessly, “Why is he so frightening?!” Hoseok simply patted the man before navigating the hallways. Frightening? The man shivering looked quite burly and tall, who could be scaring him so much?
The “we’ll” made you nervous, but you held Hoseok’s hand so you wouldn’t get lost until he pushed through a dressing room door, “Hobi’s here.” He chimed and you heard a man behind a partition grunt. You looked around the spacious room to see a comfy looking green L couch along with a wooden rocking chair, which you thought was interesting. Beyond that, there was the typically lavish amount of mirrors and counter space, “I also brought a surprise!” Hoseok sang and you were ripped from your observations.
“It better not be anything dumb-” Jungkook’s voice died on the impact that was emerging from the partition and seeing you. Hise eyes studied your body, namely the slight squish of skin between your socks and shorts, which made his pants feel a bit tight, “Y/n, what…”His voice trailed off when he noticed you had definitely been crying, and not long ago. Right as he was going to accuse Hoseok, he saw you let go of his hand and give him a smile, figuring it wasn’t him that made you upset.
Your eyes brightened when you saw a familiar face, “Oh hi, Kook!” You beamed, “I didn’t realize Hoseok was taking me with him to see you, how nice!” You cheered, “I’ll be out of your way while you work, though!” You went to go sit on the couch as Jungkook nodded, robotically making his way to the chair in front of the mirror. He wore a silky black shirt with a harness around his waist and black slacks with razor thin pinstripes and black dress shoes. His hair was styled mostly to perfection, making you wonder what more there was to do. Alas, you weren’t the professional.
Hoseok looked to the younger man with a smug smile, “Just some last touches need to be done and then you can calm your nerves a bit with our little bunny.” He chided and Jungkook scoffed.
It took no more than five minutes for Hoseok to style the star’s hair into further perfection, “Wow, you look super handsome, Kook!” You cheered, earning a small smile from the man in question.
Hoseo chuckled, “He does indeed.” He cooed, making the younger man scowl, “Now, you have some time to zen out with bunny, use it wisely. I’ll come get you when it’s time.” He patted Jungkook before giving you a wink and exiting the room.
“You having a bad day-”
‘Were you crying?” His voice sliced through yours and you’re taken aback for a moment. With no response, he stood, making his way over to you. He towered over you before leaning down to grip your chin lightly, “Were you?” A hint of worry flashes across his eyes, and you wondered if you were just seeing things.
“Yeah… I was just feeling lonely.” You speak honestly, shrugging, “It’s not a big deal-”
“Why didn’t you call me-or anyone?” He asked, voice rushed as his eyes searched your face for an answer. It’s like an interrogation that you don’t have comprehensive answers for, so you shrug.
“Everyone was busy.” You murmur, “I only cried because I thought about my mom and stuff, it’s okay.” You avoided eye contact with him as you said this, feeling out of your element talking about your mom. This made his mouth part, but he haid no words. He understood what you meant, and that made it all the more harder to comfort you.
Jungkook sighed at how you’ve shrunk under his barrage of questions and sinks down to his knees, his hands going to your waist, stroking the sliver of exposed skin, “Nobody was mean to you, right? You didn’t cry because anyone bothered you?” You smiled at his tenderness before nodding.
You watched his face, studying the cleverly concealed dark circles under his eyes and gave him a sad smile, “Are you having a bad day too, Kook?” You asked softly and he sighed, like he was letting himself relax for the first time before nodding, “I see..” You thought for a moment, unsure how to make him feel better until you remembered, “Did you want to touch my thighs?” You said the first thing that came to mind and before you could be embarrassed, he nodded, "Okay, how do you want me?"
What a question, Jungkook thought, smiling tiredly, "Sit in my lap?" He looked up at you hopefully and you nodded.
"I won't be too heavy or anyth-woah!" You gasped when he lifted you, legs wrapping around his waist as he carried you to the rocking chair, sitting you both down, "I stand corrected." You giggled, wrapping your arms around his neck while his hands placed themselves on your thighs.
He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling your thighs in his hands, rocking you both back and forth. In every dressing room, he required a rocking chair, in case he needed to calm down. He debuted at the ripe age of 15 and with no guardian until 17, he was prone to panic attacks. The company sent him to therapy and the rocking chair was introduced. He never let anyone touch the chair, but he couldn't deny how nice it was having you in his arms, cradling his head into your bosom. 
“I like the rocking chair, very calming.” You mused, as if reading his mind and he offered a tired hum in agreement.
The day had truly been terrible. Stage after stage, minimal hours of sleep, and stupid people asking the same stupid question. And yet, here you were, hands stroking the skin on his neck as he lost himself in your form. Your thighs were softer than he anticipated, and he felt himself let out an exhausted sigh, finally relaxing into you.
"You haven't been home a lot, so I get why you're so stressed." You mused into his hair, "But you should go a bit easy on the staff, I just saw a buff thirty-something year old near tears when we came in." You giggled and Jungkook couldn't help but laugh a bit.
"Sungmin is my manager, he can take it." He felt blissful for the first time in a while as he rocked you both back and forth, his thumbs stroking the supple skin of your thighs.
"Still, maybe if people aren't so stressed around you, it might ease your stress." You chided softly, pressing a chaste kiss to his head.
The affection made his eyes flutter closed and he hummed, "We'll see, but don't hold your breath." He joked.
You had never felt Jungkook so calm before. Usually he has something snarky or detached to say. Some kind of non committal or indifferent comment, but he was too exhausted to do even that. You smiled softly at the cozyoment and the affection. It was hard to realize how touch starved you were, dreading when you would have to get up.
Youboth rocked back and forth for an indeterminate amount of time, too wrapped up in the calmness of each other’s presence to say much at all.
Finally, you spoke up a bit, "This is making me feel better. I like the closeness a lot." You hummed softly, "I remember when I was in some club in highschool, we were taking photos with girls on the guys's backs and all the guys scrambled to not have to give me a piggyback ride, so I just stood on my own." You did a short laugh. Jungkook fumed at the idea of stupid people making you feel like anything less than perfect, but you continued, "And now I'm in the lap of a pop star, it's a little funny." Now he felt smug, giving your thigh a small squeeze.
"Sounds like you had some weak ass guys in your highschool club." He snorted, leaning his head up as you settled down onto his lap further, now looking eye to eye with your torsos farther apart, his feet planted firmly on the floor to keep the rocking chair still, "I'll deny I was ever this nice, but," He studies your face for a moment, "You're so beautiful." He sighs out and he watched your face light up, and feels what that does to him, scaring the fuck out of him.
You couldn't find words except, "Can I kiss you?" You breathe and he nods with hooded eyes, and before you knew it, you were surging forward to press his mouth to yours. The kiss was fierce, but he responded to it at the speed of light. His mouth moved in sync with yours before taking control of the kiss, moving closer as he stilled the chair. Your hands were shyly clutching his shoulders, careful not to mess up his hair. One hand traveled to your hip as the other massaged your thigh deeply, thumb inching its way to the inner part. Your tongues intertwine and you gasp needily when he's a mere centimeter from where you want him most. You damn near whine when his hand stops inching closer to your core making him grunt.
Jungkook nearly lost his mind when he feels your nails dig into his shoulder and your hips wiggle in the slightest. He wanted to tell you to just mess up his hair, fuck everything else, and just let him make you cum in his lap. He wants to feel what he’s doing to you, uninhibited. His hand cups your sex and you groan into his mouth. He smirks at how warm it is, how wet you must be from a little bit of kissing, and how wet you will-
KNOCK, KNOCK
You jump, effectively falling off of the chair, and onto the floor just as Hoseok walks in, "Hey Jungkookie, it is time to- Bunny?!" Before Jungkook can even reach out his hand, the older man is helping you up.
"I'm alright, just clumsy." You chuckle awkwardly, before turning to the celebrity, thanking the stars his makeup and hair aren't messed up, "Well, have a good photoshoot!" You beamed, "Let's go get some lunch, Hobi." You spoke rushedly as you took the man's hand, dragging him along.
"Oh, uh, bye!" Hoseok hollers to the dumbfounded Jungkook as he watched the dressing room door close, leaving him winded with a boner.
When you get in the car, your eyes are like saucers and Hoseok can't help his curiousity as he turns on the car. However he doesn’t push until you both are a little closer to home, but before he can even ask you grab his leg and stare at him with panicked eyes, "Fuckfuckfuckfuckwhatthefuckdid- AHHH!" You let out the quietest scream, before looking at him, "How do I go about life this stupid?" You seem to be genuinely asking and yet again, before he can ask, "I kissed Kook and I let him hold my pussy for a moment." You blurt out and Hoseok blinks for a moment. You look to him, waiting for him to freak out but he just shrugs.
"Well color me a bit envious." He muses, before tilting his head in confusion, “When you say he held you pussy-"
“He cupped it and I was gonna let him go further had you not walked in.” You looked to the man as he saw home in sight.
“Ah, I see.” He nods thoughtfully, “So were we wanting to pick something up for lunch or just order delivery, we could cook…?”  
You gaped at him, "Are you not gonna tell me how dumb that was?!" Hoseok shakes his head, "He probably hates me now!" You whined.
Hoseok sighs, "I promise, he doesn't." He reassured you, "Did he… kiss back?" He asks curiously.
"Yes, but I'm not sure what he meant by it." You murmured, "I’m really bad at gathering those kinds of clues. I kissed him because he called me beautiful and I didn't know how to respond and I-"
"You're beautiful." Hoseok interjects, "My turn, my turn!" He parks the car at the house, turning to you with a grin.
"Wait, that's it!" You point to him, "You can tell me what kind of kiss that was." You beamed and he looked at you quizzically, "So kiss me and I'll show you how Kook kissed back so I can understand!" 
Hoseok could not believe his ears. Had people played with your head before? Did you seriously not understand that kissing back meant that they were attracted to you, at the very least. Not wanting to take advantage of you he asked, "Are you sure? You can just describe it to me-"
You nodded, "I don’t want to misrepresent it with my words but I need to know what it meant, but if you feel weird about kissing me I get it-"
Hoseok was watching the chance slip away, so he pressed forward, placing his mouth on yours and groaned when you responded with a force, hand going to his thigh to try and mimic Jungkook's movement. Your tongue finds his way into your mouth and he can’t resist the opportunity to feel your tongue against his. His hand goes to the back of your neck to press his mouth into yours deeper. It was in no time you both forgot what you should be doing.
All you could focus on was how good the affection felt. How nice it was to have someone’s mouth on yours just as needily. You were used to sex and affection being out of convience. You were used to people seeing you willing and figuring, “Why not?” But Hoseok and Jungkook had kissed you with a certain force you had never known. Where Yoongi and JIn were soft, sweet,and comforting, they were urgent, needy, but rough.
Hoseok’s arms wrap around you, bring you into his lap and you feel his growing length beneath you. Against better judgement, you grind down, causing the both of you to gasp, “Fuck, baby.” He groans, gripping you to him harder. His leans down to kiss your jaw and reach your neck, making you press yourself further onto him with a choked moan when you feel him guide you hips as you set a steady pace grinding into him. You groan at the sensuality of hearing his voice riddled with lust and making the windows steamy and the expensive car rock.
“Hobi,” You moan out as he sucks a particular spot on your neck, “Feels good.” You whined, grinding yourself more desperately.
“It does, bunny?” He cooed into your neck, trying to shield his own rising arousal as you  grind onto it desperately. You nodded with a moan and found yourself wishing he would just strip you of your clothes and take you. You would love nothing more than to feel his hands around your neck as he pounded into you, your hips working as wildly as they were then with his hands on them, threatening to limit you, edging you closer, and closer, and-
HONK
You both jumped, not able to go far in the driver’s seat on top of Hoseok after accidentally honking his car horn. You take a moment to look at the position your in and clasp your hand over your mouth, "I did it again!" You whined, muffled by your palm, "What's wrong with me, I get I'm horny but AH!" You groaned from frustration, both sexually and emotionally. 
"Calm down, it's better than okay." The man beneath you strokes your hip soothingly, "I enjoyed it, and if Kook did any of that, he did too." He reassures you, "It's just some consensual kissing, we're all adults, it's okay."
You frown, "But you guys don't need me throwing myself onto you, that's not fair to you." It’s made people recoil from you, you want to say. You don’t want them to recoil from you, you couldn’t take it.
"Arguably, I do need you, in particular, throwing yourself onto me." Hoseok quipped and you rolled your eyes.
"Ha, Ha, very funny, but come on." You deadpan and it only makes him more confused. You don't know how to explain that the odds of a guy like him, or any of them, wanting you, specifically, and not just wanting affection are slim to none in your eyes, judging from past experience alone.
"What?" He asks and you shake your head.
"Ah, forget it." You shrug, "Nothing to fuss about, but sorry I nearly came in your lap-"
"Please do not apologize for something I wanted, almost happening." He groaned and you chuckled, shaking your head, genuinely not believing him, “In fact, I invite you to please hop back on.” He chuckled a bit, so you figured it was a joke. Surely he would be joking about wanting you sexually. 
"You're a funny guy, Hobi." You open the door and hop out, "Well I'm gonna go masturbate or something, and then maybe we can regroup for some lunch when I'm done?" You glance up at the flabbergasted man who nods numbly, too perplexed to even offer his services, "Okay, well thank you for the kiss and what not, the affection is always welcome!" You chirped, "I can give you kisses on the lips more often if you want like I do with Jin and Yoongi?" He nods again and you smile. You give him a chaste kiss on the lips before heading inside.
Hoseok blew out a breath as he sat in his car with a hard on. So the issue wasn't you not being attracted to them. The issue was you not believing they would be attracted to you. Somehow, that was harder for him to dissect, unsure how to prove that he would give you the world if you just mentioned an interest in having it. Not just him, but six other men. To you, kissing or sexual acts wasn't proof that he was attracted to you for being you instead of just another body. They all had to somehow prove you weren't being kissed because of convenience, but desire. All of them were too emotionally stunted up until now to already know how. Yoongi was right, this would be a lot of work. Work they all were willing to do.

Chapter 19 - Part XIX - The Seventh Yearh (Part Four)
The tent is already set up, and you are sitting in the living room, adjusting the radio on the kitchen table.
"Are you sure it was working before?" You mutter discontentedly, beginning to feel frustrated with the device that refuses to recognize the signal.
Wanda, who is standing next to you with a magic book in her lap, doesn't take her eyes off the reading when she answers yes.
Agatha comes out from inside the room with several objects in hand, and dumps them on the table in front of you.
"Well girls, what I have to do in this country can only be done during the day, so let's study in the meantime." She announces as she arranges the jars she has brought. You raise your eyebrow, pushing the small radio away.
"Actually I wanted to ask a few questions and finish going through the memories, Agatha." You say but she laughs, denying with her head.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about." She says. "Are you trying to lose your mind completely? You can't use zinnia for too long. It destroys that fragile mind of yours. I'm sure that's part of the curriculum, so what are you doing at Hogwarts if not studying?" She sneers and then looks at Wanda. "Oh wait, I know what kept you busy."
You turn red, but before you can complain about the woman's lack of description, Wanda is speaking.
"In case you have forgotten, we learned about zinnia in fifth grade." She says. "And Hogwarts was not an example of any teaching in that period or the year after for Y/N."
Agatha rolls her eyes, shrugging to end the teasing. You feel too embarrassed to look at Wanda again.
"Well, I'll go and fix Kaecillius' damage to my school administration then." Says the teacher. "If Miss Stark intends to become a decent witch, she needs to learn magic. The same goes for you, Miss Maximoff."
"I know magic, Agatha." Wanda begrudgingly retorts, her gaze returning to the book.
"If I remember correctly, my tutoring was discontinued, so there is much you need to learn."
"You remember it well, yes. We had to break off relations because you attacked my girlfriend." Wanda returns the teasing, but Agatha only laughs lightly as she begins to do some mixing.
“Water under the bridge, now.” She mutters, and soon, she’s putting a cup in front of you, and pouring a clear liquid inside.
"No, thank you." You say, leaning your arms on the table. Wanda gives a short laugh from your side without taking her eyes off the book.
"It's not poison." Agatha says.
"I know, I've seen you do it." You say. "I just won't drink it because it would be the second intoxication in less than 24 hours."
Agatha laughs, pulling the glass back to herself. A proud smile on her lips because you were able to recognize that whatever she was doing, it wasn't ready yet.
She charms the mixture, purple magic touching the liquid, until the color changes to a brilliant gold.
She pushes the glass back, and you raise an eyebrow.
"Drink."
"No."
"Wanda, darling, drink this." She says pushing the glass toward the girl. The witch sighs, her eyes on the book.
"Don't drag me into it, Agatha. " She says. "It was you who told her not to accept drinks from strangers."
"You two are so annoying." The witch declares. You giggle, but accept the drink.
For the next hours, Agatha teaches you to recognize the smell, and then the taste, of different plants, so that if you do get poisoned, at least have time to try something.
It's dinnertime when she decides to wrap up with one last potion, and you're resting your head on the table, waiting for her to finish brewing the potion, the book she's enchanted floating in the air beside her.
"Here." She says pushing the bottle in front of you.
It is only when the potion touches your lips that you recognize the taste. The same elixir Agatha gave you in the dungeon.
Your body tenses, and you cough awkwardly, pushing the cup back to her while she watches you attentively.
“W-why would you…” You started feeling your chest hurt, your heart racing. Swallowing the emotion away, you look at her, but Agatha is already organizing everything.
"What did you do?" Wanda asks worriedly, noticing the way you have gotten jumpy. Agatha sighs.
"Trauma can be a powerful thing, Miss Stark." Murmurs the older witch. "An immense vulnerability to an opponent to take advantage of. You'll need to overcome that if you want to protect her."
You stand up, feeling embarrassed and overwhelmed, evading Wanda's touch on your shoulders. "I'm going to bed."
"I didn't mean to upset you, Miss Stark." Agatha says, but you are already leaving.
You hear Wanda slam the book down hard on the table before following you back into the bedroom.
As you sit on the bunk, trying to normalize your breathing, she kneels in front of you, her hands on your neck.
"What happened?" she asks worriedly, her fingers caressing your skin.
"It 's stupid."
"Tell me."
You sigh, looking down at your own lap. "It's the same potion she used on me, in the dungeons. To keep me awake."
"I'm going to kill her." Wanda says simply, but when she makes mention of getting up, you hold her in place.
"Hey, it's okay." You say quickly. "She's messing with us, again. But I don't think she really meant any harm. Besides, we have an agreement don't we?"
But Wanda had an anger in her gaze that you have never seen before, her jaw locked. You touched her cheek with your hand.
"Wanda?"
"I hate this, Y/N." She confesses between teeth, her eyes filling with angry tears. "I hate what she did to you. I hate that I can't change, take your pain away. Not being strong enough to protect you. Or smart enough to see that she was using me an-
"Wanda, stop it." You interrupt seriously, and as your hand moves down her neck, you feel the metal of the necklace. Sighing softly, you keep your attention on the green orbs in front of you. "I really want to take away all the guilt you feel before it eats you alive, but I don't know how. Tell me how to help you."
Wanda seems surprised at your words, and just looks at you. And then to your lips, and you feel her breath hitch, before she puts a little distance between your faces.
"I'll be fine." She assures you with a sad smile. "My priority is whether if you will be as well."
You smile at her. "I'm only okay when you're okay, Wanda."
It sounded romantic in your head, but maybe those weren't the words you should have chosen, because Wanda looked away immediately, almost embarrassed, and not for the right reasons. Swallowing dryly, she got up from the floor.
"I-I'm going to talk to Agatha." She declares. "About boundaries. This won't work if we don't have any." She walks away to the bedroom door, but before she leaves, she turns to you again. "I'm also going to heat up dinner. Join us if you want."
But you wouldn't. You weren't hungry, and you were feeling stupid for saying that just hours after you heard Wanda confess that she hated that your life depended on hers.
So you threw yourself on the bed, and tried to get some rest.
You ended up oversleeping. And you only woke up because Wanda was having a nightmare in the top bed.
Moving quickly out of the bunk, you stood, turning to check on her.
A frown even with closed eyes, wriggling slightly in bed. You sighed with concern, tracing the skin of her face to wake her without startling her.
When she had a small jolt, her eyes were red, but they returned to their normal color when she realized she was only dreaming, and threw her face back into the pillow.
"I'm sorry." She murmured in a hoarse voice, but you just supported your arms on the mattress, and your face in them.
"For what?"
"For waking you up." She retorts, turning to lie on her side, and face you.
"No problem." You say. "I guess in a way I'm returning favors."
Wanda smiles, but it is so short that you feel awkward. And then you extend your fingers to her neck.
"Why are you still wearing this?" You ask about the necklace, and she frowns slightly, turning back to stare at the ceiling.
"Agatha hurts you when she wears it." She says simply. " So I will wear it to avoid that."
You shake your head. "No way, take it off now."
Wanda moves further away, on the edge of the bunk. You sigh impatiently, and climb onto the mattress.
The metal makes a noise with the new weight, but you are busy trying to get the necklace off Wanda, who grumbles and tries to struggle against your hands as she tries to keep you from falling off the bed.
You end up on top of her, the necklace in your right hand, but your other hand dangerously close to her breasts.
"Don't wear it for long." You tell her half out of breath from the struggle and the closeness, Wanda is looking at you wide-eyed. "Let's switch whenever it starts to get too much, okay?"
"Y-yes."
"Wanda, you're blushing." You tease with a smile, watching her cheeks. She looks at your mouth, frowning.
"No I'm not."
"Is it because I'm on top of you, baby?" You continue, and she turns even redder. You were going to tease her further, but while you were talking, you had moved to put the necklace on.
And when the object hung around her neck, all the tension changed.
You looked into Wanda's longing gaze and could only remember that she chose to leave you. Without asking your opinion. Without caring about your feelings.
So you pulled away, with a neutral expression, laying down on the bed beside her.
There is a silence between you, Wanda is trying to control her heartbeat and you are trying to push so many doubts that pop into your head at once.
"I think if you're not going to be with me, we shouldn't do this kind of thing anymore." You state simply, and can hardly be bothered by the way Wanda stands tense beside you.
And there is a long pause, until she speaks. "Okay."
You want to scream at her lack of reaction. All you do is stand up, and leave the room.
From that distance, you cannot hear Wanda crying against the pillow.
//-//-//-//-//
It doesn't take long for you to realize that wearing the necklace is addictive.
The deal is not more than four hours for each, but every time the object is hanging around your neck, you are gripped by the urge to keep it with you.
There is a whisper in the back of your mind saying that Wanda could lose it, or break it, and it's hard to push those lines away when you need to give it back, but you manage. And you wonder if Wanda thinks the same things.
When you are wearing the necklace, you feel apathetic and angry. It's as if all the bad things that have happened to you reach the surface at once. You give short answers, and isolate yourself. Your mind sighs things that you think you should remember are lies.
Agatha is trying to make you a better witch. The same for Wanda.
She teaches you things you don't know, from books you've never seen.
But with weeks of running and camping, and the horcrux around your neck, you begin to grow impatient with the lack of answers.
So you are breaking a plate without realizing it.
"Fuck." You grumble in irritation as you feel the pain of the small cut on your hand. The noise has attracted the other two women, and it is Wanda who reaches for you first, but when she touches your forearm to pull your hand and see the cut, you move away as if you have been slapped. "Don't."
And you throw the dishcloth on the table, leaving the tent.
You are somewhere in northern Ireland, Agatha said it was at least.
And there are many trees obscuring your surroundings, but you walk among them without caring about getting lost. The necklace whispers that you should be alone, and you believe it.
The cut on your hand aches a bit, but you stop only when you reach the edge of a lake.
Maybe the icy water will calm your anger. Or maybe you will die of hypothermia and Wanda will live happily without you. The last thought made your stomach turn, but you kept taking off your clothes.
The necklace was cold against your skin, but no colder than water.
You dove in, and stayed under the water until you needed to breathe again.
The tears on your face were tears of frustration, but the lake wiped them away.
You wondered if they would leave without you.
If Wanda would run away and abandon you in Ireland.
She didn't want you to stay with her after all.
She didn't want you.
You sobbed.
And you went back under the water until you stopped crying.
But then someone jumped into the lake, the noise startled you.
You opened your eyes to find Wanda's terrified look under the water before you ascended together.
"Merlin, what is your problem?" She squinted in desperation, and you realized that she began to cry. "I thought you were-"
But she sobbed without being able to complete, and you shrank back against the cold water, hugging your body. "I just went for a swim."
"Don't ever do that again." She pleads between tears, throwing herself against you in a tight embrace, which you don't reciprocate.
The horcrux screams in the back of your head, like a loud whistle, and you are pushing Wanda by the waist. "I'm fine, we can go."
You walk out of the lake in a mechanical manner, ignoring the upset look Wanda has as you do so. And you put on your clothes in silence, until you are standing clumsily at the edge.
Before you return however, Wanda calls out to you.
"Take it off."
"I still have time." You mumble without looking at her, but Wanda is approaching and you clench your jaw.
"I wasn't asking." She says and you lock eyes with her in defiance, not moving. When she is close enough to pull out, you move forward and kiss her on the mouth.
She sighs affected, almost losing her balance. And when she motions to kiss you back, you pull away.
"Don't touch what isn't yours." You don't know if you're talking about the necklace, or your body, but either way Wanda's eyes fall to your lips, and she holds her breath.
"I wasn't." She whispers, and without losing her composure, her hands go up your arms until they reach your neck, and she is so close that you ignore the urge to keep the necklace, and let her do whatever she wants. Her fingers find the item. "The necklace belongs to any worthy slytherin. And you, darling, you have always been mine."
You sigh as the necklace comes off, and Wanda throws it on the floor the next moment.
This time, it is she who breaks the distance, bringing your mouths together in a passionate kiss.
Your head spins, and you surrender. Her hands go to where the necklace was, and her tongue invades your mouth without waiting for permission, taking you for herself, making you gasp.
Thrusting your body forward, with your hands on Wanda's waist, you press her against the tree behind her, never breaking the kiss and making her sigh at having your body so close.
You are kissing each other firmly, with longing. You breathe breathlessly against each other's lips, afraid that if any of you pull away you will be done for good.
Your hands start to move down before you can think about it, and when they reach Wanda's ass, you squeeze the flesh against your hands, and she moans against your lips, thrusting her hips forward, begging for more.
There's not the slightest possibility that your first time with Wanda would be in a forest, in the middle of the snow, but when she bites your lips and kisses you like this, it doesn't seem so impossible. It gets hard not to think about getting down on your knees, tasting her where you imagine she would like it.
"We shouldn't." She manages to whisper between kisses, in the mess you two have become, and all you do is move your lips down her jaw, and then her neck. And Wanda whimpers, digging her fingernail into your shoulder. "Please."
You don't know if she is asking for more, or to stop. The second option breaks your heart, but you follow it, breathing out of rhythm as you pull your lips from her skin, pulling away.
Wanda's lips are swollen from kissing hard, her pupils dilated, her chest heaving. And you want to kiss her again, but you just swallow dry and put more distance between you.
"W-we should go back." You mumble in a hoarse voice, looking down at the ground.
"There you are!" Agatha's voice makes you jump in fright, and so does Wanda. The tension turned to shame of you being found, with clearly visible appearances of what you two were doing. But the older witch doesn't mind, a teasing smile. "Busy?"
"I just came to check if she was okay." Wanda answers quickly, clumsily as she bends down to pick up the necklace she threw on the floor.
"I imagine so." Agatha mutters. "We need to go, we didn't come here for nothing."
The way back is silent,you don't have the courage to face Wanda, but she has put the necklace back on, and isn't looking because she must be hating herself, again.
And you bite the inside of your cheek, not knowing what to do.
Agatha is whistling, and you realize that you are not going back to the tent.
"Where are we going, Agatha?" You ask curiously, and she replies still looking forward.
"Your father really did have friends in all places, Miss Stark."
You frown, but it is Wanda who speaks. "Vague answers don't make you sound mysterious, Agatha. They just annoy me."
The older witch laughs at the comment, but you think you must be too affected by the make-out session, because Wanda's locked jaw makes you wish she would just kiss you again, non-stop this time.
Clearing your throat, you look away, and decide to follow the two other witches in silence.
“We are here to see a quite despicable sorcerer, who is going to make mean and unkind remarks, and you are going to be silent so that I can go on."
You exchange a look with Wanda, who has an expression of indignation on her face.
"I can' t promise that, Agatha. " She says. "Wouldn't it be better to leave us in the tent?"
"So you can be grabbing each other like two animals in heat?" She retorts and you choke in surprise, looking away to the ground immediately. "I don't really care, but I need Stark, because Tivan owed Howard a favor and only agreed to deal with her present. And well, I expected you wouldn't let her come alone with me."
Wanda completely ignores Agatha's teasing to reply "You're right, I don't trust you."
"Thanks, sugar." The witch retorts, causing the younger girl to roll her eyes impatiently. "Do me a favor and keep that necklace well hidden. Or give it back to me."
"No." She answers quickly. "I'll keep it."
"As you wish." Agatha says and you stand in silence as you walk through the small village.
It is really very quiet, and the few people on the street don't bother to look at you guys at all.
And then you are at the gate of a huge mansion, and Agatha is telling the gatekeeper that you have an appointment with the "collector."
"Why do you call him that?" You ask, and she gives a little laugh.
"You'll understand in a minute."
You walk down the front steps to the door.
And when you enter, you hold your breath.
It is no ordinary house, it is a long dark corridor, magically enchanted and giving you the feeling that it is endless, with the same doors for miles and miles forward.
A girl about your age is waiting, and she smiles politely at the three of you.
"Miss Harkness, you have finally managed to join us." She says. "My master is waiting for you and Miss Stark."
"Miss Maximoff will be joining us tonight as well dear. I hope Tivan doesn't mind." Says the witch following the other down the hall.
"Every friend of Howard Stark is welcome, my master said." The girl says simply, and you see Agatha sigh. She seems annoyed by the other's submission, but says nothing.
You stop in front of a double door, white in prominence with the darkness of the hallway.
The girl opens it, and you enter a huge room, with the ceiling so high that even if you squint your eyes, you can't see the end. And it reflects the stars.
A tall, strong man wearing a leather dragon coat is waiting inside, and he flashes a smile that does not reach his eyes. His hair is as white as the door.
"Agatha! It's so good to see you again, old friend." He says with open arms, but reaches up with outstretched hands, catching Agatha's quickly. "Did you have a peaceful trip?"
"Hardly, Tivan, I'm a fugitive now." She jokes causing you and Wanda to exchange worried glances, but the wizard doesn't seem to mind, laughing at the phrase. "And don't call me old, we're only a few decades apart!"
Tivan laughs again, letting go of the witch's hands. He turns his face to you, and looks at you with glowing eyes.
"By Merlin, you are Stark's daughter." He says. "You have the same eyes as Melissa, no?"
You look embarrassed under his gaze. It's evaluative, and Wanda seems to notice it too, because she covers you gently, and draws the man's attention to herself.
"Oh, and who are you, sweetheart?"
"This is Wanda Maximoff, Tivan." Agatha replies earnestly, and you are surprised at the scolding. "And no, they're not for sale."
You widen your eyes, understanding the reason behind his name. Wanda's hand slides into yours immediately, covered by the cape.
Tivan gives a short laugh, "That's a shame, Harkness. You know very well the value of a scarlet sorceress. Even more a pretty thing like that."
You take an aggressive step forward, but Agatha quickly stands in your way.
"Let's finalize everything soon, Tivan." She urges. "I can't stay in places for too long. I'm sure you can understand the feeling."
The man gives you and Wanda one last look before nodding to Agatha, turning to walk toward the bookshelves on the right side in the room.
There are several shelves, with many items, and just like the hallways, extend into what seems like infinity.
Tivan just goes to the first one, and pulls out a small chest from there, enchanting it to follow him in the air to you.
"Here it is, Agatha." He says. "Howard Stark's last translator."
You widen your eyes as the chest opens. Inside, there is a small metal device. Very different from any of your father's other machines, it looks much more rudimentary.
Agatha sighs softly, lifting her fingers to trace the object.
"And you assure me it works?" She asks, and the man chuckles softly.
"I have plenty of monsters in there if you want to test it."
You swallow dryly, but Agatha just smiles. "No need, you are many things, but a liar is none of them."
"I appreciate the confidence, Agatha." He says as he moves his fingers and magically closes the trunk. "But pay before you play."
The witch doesn't look offended, she just hurries to fiddle with her robes, and you widen your eyes when she takes out a necklace.
Kaecillius' gift, the eye of Agamotto.
"That's not yours to sell!" You blurt out angrily, but Agatha keeps the item out of your reach, while Tivan seems impressed by the whole scene.
"And neither is yours, Miss Stark." She retorts impatiently. "Be quiet while the adults talk."
"Are you serious? How did you even get it, it was in the house-"
"Quiet!" Agatha cuts in turning to you, her tone is angry, but her eyes are almost pleading. "That's enough of this. Don't disgrace the good manners your father taught you."
You are indignant, but Wanda's grip around your hands makes you believe it is better not to insist.
"Play along." Her voice sounds in your head the same second Agatha turns to Tivan again, and you swallow dryly, trusting her.
"Interesting." The man murmurs, impressed, but doesn't keep his gaze on you. His attention shifts immediately to the necklace Agatha hands him.
"As you can see, it's real." She says. "A fair price for another relic, or even more valuable, since you will find no use for the translator."
Tivan grimaces. "Don't push it too far, Agatha. The translator became quite valuable with Stark's death. No one was able to reproduce another one." He says as he looks back to the witch. "Actually, I think I should raise my price." He says curling his fingers in the necklace, thoughtful as you watch Agatha tense up before relaxing.
"Now I'm the one who's going to ask you not to push it so far, Tivan." She says. "Agamotto is also dead, and that's the only treasure of his you'll get. Don't try to change the value just because you don't know how it works."
Tivan looks offended, but only for a second, because his gaze softens and he laughs. "Right, right. Any chance you know what's inside?"
"I have no idea." She says, but a part of you thinks she is lying.
The man nods, and the trunk moves gracefully through the air into Agatha's hands. She takes the small device from inside, and stows it inside her cloak.
Tivan takes his eyes off the necklace in his hands to look directly at you.
"I have a question for you, Miss Stark, before you go." He says, and Wanda squeezes your hand from behind the cloak, but you just stand there, waiting for the man to speak. "Did your father ever mention New York to you or your brother?"
"Tivan..."
"I asked the girl, Agatha." He interrupts the witch seriously. You think she doesn't insist because you are in his house, and a wizard like that, should bring trouble if contradicted. "Well?"
"No, sir." You say uncomfortably. "I don't know any New York stories."
The man gives a disappointed smile. "I suspected, but I wanted to hear you say it." He declares straightening his posture, and the necklace flies through the air until it vanishes among the bookshelves as Tivan walks back to the center of the room. "I would invite you for tea, but I understand the rush. You should know that I am always up for new negotiations with you, Agatha. And the same goes for the Scarlet Witch and her protector."
Agatha bids a quick farewell, pushing you gently out of the room.
"Don't look back, or the hall will get longer. Just keep walking." She guides in a whisper, and you think it best to obey.
The exit does seem to take longer, but you manage to reach the door. The girl from before was already waiting for you all, her arms behind her back.
"Thank you for your visit, Miss Harkness." She says politely. "My master is pleased with the acquisition this evening."
"I'm sure he is, dear." Agatha says, and touches the girl's arm gently. "Take care of yourself, okay?"
The girl just smiles, nodding almost mechanically. Agatha hesitates, but walks away.
As soon as you are outside the property, Wanda is yelling.
"I can't believe you stole from me, Agatha!" She squawks angrily as you all walk back into the forest, and the older witch just grumbles displeased at the volume, speeding off. "I told you this wouldn't work if you kept lying!"
"Would you have given me the necklace in good grace?" She retorts impatiently, but doesn't even wait for Wanda to answer. "Of course you wouldn't. Because you don't know what it is, but you're smart enough to know that it's not something ordinary. And too stubborn to willingly hand it over, not to mention you don't trust me, Wanda. I did what was necessary for us to make some progress."
"No more lies, Agatha!" Wanda insists in a mixture of frustration and irritation. "Stop hiding things. You could have asked, explained what you were going to do!
"Witches don't do that, Wanda." She retorts impatiently. "I've been alive for how many centuries, child. Do you think you can survive by telling everyone what you were going to do? No. You go ahead and do whatcha you gotta do, that’s the truth. Secrets save lives.”
"That's such bullshit." The brunette retorts, but you are almost back in the tent area, and Agatha is stopping walking.
"Give me the locket." She says, and Wanda frowns. "Let's get this over with quickly."
"What are you talking about?"
"That's why I needed the translator." She clarifies. "I went to Stark Manor last year, looking for this in the wreckage, but the walkers found it first. And it circled the dark market for months until Tivan acquired it in his collection. It's just what I need to open the horcrux and destroy it."
You look surprised and impressed, but Wanda crosses her arms.
"And how do you intend to do that?"
"Six years ago, Pietro Maximoff took Godric Gryffindor's sword out of the selector hat at my request." She counters drawing surprised exclamations from you and Wanda. "I didn't let him remember that, and I spent the last few years fortifying the metal with every kind of magic I could find. The poison from the monsters you didn't face in the labyrinth in the fourth year because I was hunting them out, or the blood from the dragon you killed in the first task. Everything. The goblins wrote to me that the sword only absorbed what could make it stronger, and even without knowing the location of the horcruxes, I needed to be ready to destroy them."
"How did you lose the sword?" You ask then, trying to fit the whole story together. Agatha sighs.
"Pietro deserted Hogwarts." She says. "The sword immediately disappeared, it went back into the hat. And I had to go back for it."
"If you had the sword and the locket, why didn't you destroy it?" Wanda questions, and seems very annoyed at the information that Agatha also used Pietro.
"Because I don't know parseltongue." She replies. "But with this, I don’t need to and I can open it."
You exchange a look with Wanda.
"This conversation is not over, Agatha." She says as she moves her hands to remove the necklace.
Agatha turns toward the tent, raises her hand from where her magic is visible between her fingers, and it takes a moment for the sword to fly toward her, gracefully fitting between her fingers.
But she hands it to you.
"I have a feeling it needs to be held by a Gryffindor." She says and you frown.
"Do you have any argument to support that?" You ask as you pick up the sword.
"It's just a guess." She says as she takes the translator out of her pocket.
She gestures for Wanda to leave the locket on the ground, and she does so a few inches away from you so that you have room to wield the sword and destroy it.
"Well, let's get this over with." Agatha says with her attention on the object in her hands. "Help me understand the language of the snakes."
The small object trembles with Agatha's whisper, and when it ascends a golden light between the openings, she continues.
"Open it."
The sound coming out of the metal is unlike anything you have heard. But as soon as it becomes silent, the locket flips open.
And something leaps out, a dark shadow that knocks you to the ground, along with Wanda and Agatha, who are thrown at least two meters away.
Your whole body trembles with fear and alertness. You lean on your elbows to look.
It is the part of Mephisto's soul that is fighting, it is the darkness of magic that protects it.
Agatha didn't fall, she is fighting the part of the shadowy cloud that tries to cover her, the purple magic around her.
Wanda has fallen, but has the same position as you, staring frightened ahead. And your immediate urge is to reach for her, stumbling to get up.
"Destroy it now, Stark!" Agatha shouts, but you keep walking.
Except that the shadow shrouds your field of vision, and you stop confused.
Wanda is standing in front of you.
"What are you still doing here?" Her tone is icy, it chills your whole body the wrong way, and you frown in confusion.
"W-what? We're destroying the horcrux, Wanda, what-"
"I told you to leave." She interrupts as she approaches, her gaze cruel. She has never looked at you like that. "Didn't you hear what Agatha said? You are weak. You are not, and you were never good enough for me."
You stumble away, shocked by the words. But she doesn't stop, smiling arrogantly.
"How was it that the least smart Stark was chosen to protect me?" She teases. "Our classmates are right. I match with the champion of the Triwizard Tournament, that woman will indeed be able to protect someone like me. And if you're lucky, you might get someone who will accept your mediocrity."
You want to throw up. But this is wrong. Something in your brain is screaming, because Wanda would never say such things.
She reaches out to you, and her touch has no pressure. It's just a ghost. An illusion, playing with your senses.
"Pathetic." She whispers, the black orbs glowing. That's enough for you.
Your mind wanders immeditarily to last summer.
"You know how much I love you, don't you?" Wanda whispers in the dark, under the covers with you. The light of the lantern while you are reading Romeo and Juliet in her room is enough for you to see her face blurry.
You smile, closing the book, and pushing it away as you lie on your side to face her.
"I have a vague idea." You joke. "I think quite a bit since I've been sleeping here all week."
But Wanda looks worried; she copies your position, but keeps a serious face. You lift your fingers to trace the wrinkle in her forehead, squeezing lightly until she stops frowning and smiles.
"I just..." She starts almost embarrassed. "Promise you'll never forget?"
You smile, because the idea is absurd, but decide to follow the line. "I promise."
And when Wanda's eyes fill with tears, you worry too, but she quickly shakes her head. "I'm sorry, I'm just being silly."
You caress her cheek, wiping away the tears that have run down. " You know how much I love you?"
You repeat the question in a whisper, and Wanda's cheeks flush, but she smiles, straightening herself up better. "I have a vague idea, because you've been sleeping here all week."
You laugh softly, and she follows you. "It's more than that." You whisper as you stop, staring at her. "I love you more than anything."
Wanda nods softly, her eyes filling with tears again, but this time it's for a good reason. She feels the same way.
"More than the characters in the book loved each other?" She asks in a gasp, her hand squeezing your shirt softly. You smile.
"What I feel for you makes the love of Romeo and Juliet seem like a crush." You retort, making her laugh embarrassedly.
But her smile slowly dies, and she swallows dryly before speaking again. "I don't want us to end up like in the book, babe. Never."
You know she's talking about dying. But specifically about you dying for her. You know that Wanda would do that for you no matter what, but the idea of living without her is unreasonable.
"I wouldn't like that either." You confess, moving closer so that your noses are touching. "I'd like to live with you."
Wanda smiles shyly, embarrassed by the implications in your speech. But you let your fingers wander to her hair, tucking the strands behind her ear.
"I think we would be happy in a cottage." You say, and her gaze brightens beyond the redness on her face. "Or we could buy an apartment in the city where there's a park for you to walk around in."
"I would like that." She confesses smiling. "To have a home with you. Wherever that is."
You swallow dryly, feeling your chest warm with happiness. "Do you think we could handle taking care of animals? I don't ever remember feeding Iron."
Wanda laughs softly, nodding. "We could try a cat first, they're more independent."
"And then an owl."
"Soon a dog."
"Maybe two."
You take a chance. "Or who knows..." But you lose courage, but Wanda smiles.
"Children."
You nod softly, looking at the green orbs adoringly. And she looks at you the same way. "As many as you want."
Wanda's eyes looking at you lock on your mind for the next few seconds as the memory fades, and you find yourself back in the horror of dark magic all around you.
You stumble away from the illusion of the locket, wielding your sword, and ignoring the adrenaline whistle in your ears.
There is no time for another defense, you raise the sword, and the next minute, it strikes the metal, destroying it.
The ghosts scream, and are gone in the blink of an eye, and you gasp in shock, still standing with trembling hands.
When Wanda stands up, and makes mention of touching you, you stumble over your words. "W-we have to go. He'll feel it for sure, let's get out of here before they find us." And you are already walking out toward the tent, keeping your gaze on the ground.
For the next few minutes, you are on autopilot.
Helping Agatha with the tent in silence, the two other witches don't seem to know exactly how to talk about what has just happened.
And when you need to Apparate to a new place, you hold Agatha's forearm instead of Wanda's hand.
"Where are we?" The brunette asks as soon as the ground settles at her feet. Agatha sighs.
"Honestly, we're running out of options." She replies. "It's still the United Kingdom, but it's almost the limit. We're going to need ideas from here on."
You remain silent as you set the tent back up, and when everything is ready, your hands are still shaking.
"Try to rest, Stark." Agatha says beside you. "You did very well tonight."
You only mutter in understanding, hurrying off to your room.
Not even taking off your shoes, you throw yourself on the bed, burying your face in the pillow.
Maybe sleep will put the horcrux image out of your head, but you imagine that once you fall asleep, this will be the only thing you’ll dream about.

“I never stopped loving you.”
It slipped out. It didn’t mean to come out. Jake didn’t necessarily want it to come out. They say drunk words are sober thoughts, right? At the same time, who trusts the words of a drunk person? Usually it’s just brushed off as babbling, but Y/N couldn’t ignore what Jake said. Especially because she couldn’t blame it on not hearing him. There was no music playing outside the bar. The music was faint enough that anything Jake had said was heard.
High school was rough for Y/N with hormones mixed in with academics, horny teenage boys at every turn. Y/N wasn’t even interested in dating, not due to the fact that nobody was necessarily interested in her, but because she was too focused on her studies to even give a damn. School dances were a nice break from academics. There was a shift, though, when one boy in particular would start to really pay attention to her.
Jake Kiszka was charismatic in every sense of the word. Him and his twin brother, Josh, were always the two sweetest, yet most famous troublemakers in all of Frankenmuth High School. It got even worse when their younger brother, Sam, ended up in high school with them as a freshman. Jake had girls wrapped around his finger from the moment he had gotten a haircut. His hair was a lot shorter than before and barely even touched his forehead. Y/N didn’t really give a damn. To her, he was still Jake Kiszka, neighbor.
Their parents were friends and always hungout on the weekends. Y/N’s family had a cabin on the lake which they always vacationed at and occasionally would bring Jake’s family with. One particular summer, they stayed there for a week between the summer of sophomore and junior year. The summer’s were always hot, but this week in particular was hotter than the other summer’s before. “It feels like the Devil’s asshole out here.”
“I know, Mary, but that’s the exact reason we chose to come here this week. The kids can swim in the lake, it’s a lot cooler in the water than on the grass.” Y/N’s dad spoke, returning the conversation from her mother. He gave her a quick kiss on the side of the head and returned to unpacking the car. Y/N and the boys had already gone into the house and picked their rooms. The boys shared one, and Y/N got one of the spare bedrooms. 
Dinner was made as soon as everyone was settled in. Everyone sat around the dining table, laughing and eating as they did almost every weekend. “You excited for Junior year, Y/N?”
“Yeah, I’m sort of nervous about taking the SAT and ACT. I’ve been studying when I’m not working at the shop.” She picked at some asparagus on her plate as she answered Mrs. Kiszka’s  question. Jake and Josh weren’t entirely ecstatic about it, it didn’t really matter to either of them. Music was their passion and that was never going to change.
Smores after dinner was a tradition that started when they were all really little, barely old enough to eat them. The fire was lit by Mr. Kiszka and Mr. Y/L/N. Jake, Sam and Josh had always played music while the rest of them made their smores. Y/N always made extras for the boys for when they were done playing music. Whenever they had no idea what to play, Y/N always knew the answer. Running out of songs to play, though, was a rarity in itself. The Kiszka’s knew so much about their sound, nothing was in their way of playing songs that fit it. However, every once in a blue moon they would ask their friend what she would like to hear. “C’mon now. You should know I’m a sucker for The Beatles.”
Y/N could recognize the sound of Blackbird the second it started playing. She had only listened to it eight million times that summer. She hummed lightly along as they played. Everyone clapped as soon as their song was over, the boys immediately delving into their smores. Y/N had finally taken a seat next to Josh when she was finished making their smores for them. Once their parents had gone inside, though, Y/N and the twins dipped into their parents' cooler of beer.
Neither of the sets of parents cared, they knew their kids would be safe and unharmed if they drank at the cabin. Jokes were told and stories of the past school year were discussed, as well as the future. A topic so vast for high schoolers. “I still can’t decide between a lawyer and an art teacher.”
“You’ve always been great at arguing,” Josh joked, “Practically got fuckin’ Lindsey McNeil out of that suspension.”
“It wasn’t fair. All she did was stand up for herself and what she believed in, plus that teacher is fucking creepy and everyone knows it.” Everybody laughed, the beer in everyone’s hands was getting a little warmer with every minute that passed by. Everyone filtered out one by one. Sam went in first, followed by Ronnie (she was slightly upset about coming, having made other plans with friends for the hot weather), and then Josh followed, leaving behind Jake and Y/N.
“Did you want to go inside yet or stay out here for a bit longer?” The silence beforehand hadn’t been awkward for the pair. “Cause I was thinking of going swimming for a bit.”
“I’ll join you, we haven’t swam yet today.”
The sand leading into the lake was met with a bit of rocks. It was picturesque under the moonlight. The pair discarded their clothing, leaving their underwear and got into the water. The coolness of the water sent goosebumps along her skin, leaving no piece without some. Jake followed in behind her, coming up next to her before completely dipping under the water. He popped back up and shook his head.
“You know,” Y/N started, “I think you’d look really good with longer hair.”
“You think?”
“Yeah. You should grow it out.” She swiped his hair out of the way and giggled a bit. “You’ll still never be prettier than I am.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it, darling.”
The rest of the summer followed with light flirting and spending lots of time together. Junior year came around and nothing changed a bit. Prom was spent with the Kiszka family, Josh driving the three of you, as well as Josh’s date. The dance was lame, the songs were overplayed pop music, which Y/N secretly had a bit of a soft spot for. She would never tell that to Jake, though.
The pair ended up back at Y/N’s house, giggling all the way up to her room. He went into the bathroom to take his suit off, using one of Y/N’s hangers to make sure it wouldn’t wrinkle. However, Y/N was still having issues. She couldn’t manage to undo the zipper by herself, waiting for Jake to come back into the room to do it for her. He came back in, saw her still in her dress. “Need my help?”
“My zipper -- I can’t reach it.”
“I can do it,” he whispered, knowing Y/N’s parents were asleep. His hands were warm against her back, undoing her zipper slowly. The moonlight coming in from the window felt like that hot summer night at the cabin. He slid the straps down her shoulders, his mouth slightly agape. How could someone look so beautiful and delicate at the same time?
She turned around, her body facing Jake’s. He stuttered, telling her he could leave and he was honestly about to. Until he felt her hand grab his wrist. “Don’t go.”
He nodded his head, helping her get the rest of the way out of her dress. She stepped closer to him and put her hands on his chest. She could feel how fast his heart was beating. She had a hard time meeting his gaze, nervous of him not feeling the same way she had been. “You looked really good tonight.”
“Me? Everybody was staring at you the whole time, Y/N,” he spoke, one hand finding their way to her waist, the other pulling on her chin to force eye contact. “You looked absolutely breathtaking.”
There was a split second where both of them second guessed themselves. But it was over when Y/N pressed her lips lightly against Jake’s. It was such a feathery light touch, it almost felt like she wasn’t even kissing him. She pulled away slowly, her eyes closed, not really knowing what to do next. She didn’t have to figure it out though, Jake’s lips returned to hers with more pressure.
His hands had found their rightful place on her back, bringing her closer to him. Hers found their way into his hair. It felt so natural - the need for each other grew stronger with each passing minute. His mouth never wanted to leave hers, it felt as though her lips were coated in fucking drugs the way they were so addicting. He couldn’t get enough. “Do you want to..?”
“Yes, please.” It came out so needy - desperate. Y/N didn’t even care about how that presented itself to Jake. She just wanted to be even closer to him than she already was. And she got to be right where she wanted to be.
Her bed was more comfy than Jake had previously remembered. Or maybe that was because they were here under different circumstances, not just studying algebra because Jake wasn’t quite getting it. All he knew was that he wasn’t ever going to forget it. He wanted this moment to replay forever and ever. Not because he was just some horny teenager, but because holy fuck, this had just been some random thought - a daydream, almost. But this was real. This was happening.
A tangled mess they were when climaxing. “I love you,” came out as barely above a whisper. It took Y/N a half of a second to register what he was really saying before it finally hit her. She didn’t feel as if she had to say it back, if anything, he should realize that she loved him too.
“I could honestly stay here forever and stare at you until the end of time.”
“So do it. We’ve got all the time in the world.”
They didn’t though. And it wasn’t that simple. Complications arose after that night. Everything got messy and trying to tie in a relationship while the band was traveling and on the road became increasingly difficult, especially when Y/N went to college.
She came home to Frankenmuth while she was off for the summer. Her mother and father missed her a great deal and the first weekend home was spent in the Kiszka’s backyard, the boys excluded. It was weird to be at their house and not see them littered around anywhere. Ronnie was full of stories though, telling Y/N about previous times the boys have come home from touring and the memories they brought back with him.
It was painful to hear, but she was so incredibly proud of everything they had accomplished and done. Every once in a while, Y/N had checked up on their band's Instagram account. When she was really nervous — having a hard time not worrying about them — she texted Josh or Danny. Neither of them were ever going to say anything to Jake or mention it to Sam.
The two families decided to get together and have dinner at a local bar. The boys were still away, they weren’t scheduled to come back to Michigan for at least another month and a half. Ronnie and Y/N spent most of their time talking about future plans for the upcoming weeks while their parents discuss their weekend plans — what to have for dinner and who’s house to have dinner at. Time had passed quickly and before they knew it, it was 10pm.
The parents had left, leaving Ronnie and Y/N at the bar by themselves. At least, that was until the boys walked in.
Ronnie smiled widely, hugging her brothers but then proceeding to punch them for surprising her and not just telling her. Josh and Danny hugged Y/N first, Sam leading after. Jake didn’t hug Y/N. It stung a bit. It made sense though. The last time they talked — it ended in an argument which was the resulting cause of their breakup.
A few drinks were downed, a couple shots thrown in there as well. Y/N figured it was time to throw the towel in. She couldn’t handle the awkward glances and forced conversation on their part. She grabbed her jacket off the back of her chair and put it on as she said goodbye to everyone. “Boys, lovely to see you again. I’m sure I’ll see you this weekend.”
She wasn’t going to. She was gonna avoid them at all costs. Come up with a lie — say she had the flu or something. Her mother would believe her either way, as well as understand where she was coming from with her avoidance. Her mother was there for her while she cried her eyes out.
She didn’t notice when Jake had followed her out. She didn’t notice him calling her name. The only thing she could notice was the tears falling down her cheeks, wiping them as soon as she felt them.
“I never stopped loving you.”
It slipped out. It didn’t mean to come out. Jake didn’t necessarily want it to come out. They say drunk words are sober thoughts, right? At the same time, who trusts the words of a drunk person? Usually it’s just brushed off as babbling, but Y/N couldn’t ignore what Jake said. Especially because she couldn’t blame it on not hearing him. There was no music playing outside the bar. The music was faint enough that anything Jake had said was heard.
“When we broke up,” he started. “I was a wreck. I was immature. It could’ve worked out - it would’ve worked out if I wasn’t such a child about everything.”
“Jake —“
“No, Y/N, I need to say this now. I’m a little drunk so I actually have the balls to say everything I want to. It was stupid to break up over something as menial as distance. The things I feel for you are so intense it scares the fuck out of me. I was so afraid of being gone all the time. You deserved someone who could be there to help you study for midterms. I was always in another state and sometimes another country. I wasn’t… there to be able to help you through anything. Everything’s different now, though.”
She sighed, not entirely sure on what to do with the information that was thrown at her. She was sober enough to remember the conversation tomorrow, but not nearly drunk enough to be able to deal with it tonight.��“Do you wanna just come home with me? Talk about this tomorrow morning when we’re both sober.”
“Yeah, I’d like that a lot.”

Natasha moved through the compound, ignoring her teammates' calls as she tugged her earphones over her ears to block out any more noise. When she made it to the training room, she was relieved to see that it was empty. Natasha honestly couldn't be bothered right now. All she wanted to do was beat the living shit out of the punching bag, anything to get you out of her head. It seemed to be a constant in her mind, the way things ended so terribly, all because of her. Even in her dreams, she sees it. She hadn't heard from you since despite how many times she tried to reach you.
She knew for your sake; she needed to leave you alone. You were going through it as much and, if not, more than her, but Natasha wanted you, no, she needed you back. Her life felt empty without you. Her days felt all mushed together into a jumble of nothingness. For the past couple of days, it's been hitting her hard. The reality of it finally settling in ultimately. For the first couple of weeks, she convinced herself that she'd be at the compound for training, but as time went on, it was apparent that this was the place she'd have to call home once again.
It was the week of your honeymoon; she was a wreck, spending most of her days cooped up in her room or training. She should've been with you having the time of your lives, but instead, she was bounded to her bed, her phone in hand as she prayed you'd call. You never did.
----- A soft knock sounded at your door, you let out a gentle whine. You didn't want to see anyone. You just wanted to sit here and hope that eventually, you'd feel better. All you could do was watch sad romantic movies and cry. It wasn't healthy, you knew that much, but you were healing.  You knew it'd take time before you felt like yourself again. You just wished you could fast forward to that.
Another much harder knock sounded, causing you to groan, forcing yourself up from your couch. When you pulled the door open, you were met with Wanda's kind features. She wore a smile, but it fell because of the frown and puffiness of your eyes. You were in worse condition than the last time she saw you. You hated that you were the cause of the pout that played on her lips, so you tried to force a smile. "hey, maxi!" you tried to sound cheerful, but your voice was hoarse from crying.
"Hey, babes." you were glad that she didn't question you. You just wanted to enjoy her presence without the reminder of Nat. you let out a gentle sigh when she tugged you into a tight hug, nuzzling your face into the nape of her neck. If you were honest, you were glad that Wanda was here. If she weren't, you'd probably be watching some sad movie, devouring another carton of ice cream.
After she settled into your home, she offered to make you some dinner, you accepted eagerly. You couldn't remember the last time you had a good homecooked meal. "um..." you began as you watched the woman stir at the pot. she looked over her shoulder at you briefly, taking in your features. She knew you well, so she expected the words to spill past your lips even before they did. "how's nat?" you questioned, leaning against your head.
Wanda hated that you were asking about her after everything, but she also couldn't help but swoon at how caring and thoughtful you always were; that was one thing she loved about you.
"she's-" she paused for a moment, shrugging casually as Wanda looked back down at the pot. "not good." she chose to be truthful, telling you carefully how Natasha is barely even seen around the compound. You frowned lightly. You hoped that she was doing even slightly better than you. "oh..." you frowned, observing as Wanda moved with ease as if she was made to become a chef. She was such a natural. You wondered if, in some other life, that's what she'd do.
"How are you, though, baby?" you hummed lightly, sipping at your water for a moment so when you talked, it didn't come out too scratchy. "I miss her," you confessed, causing wanda's heart to pound. She knew you were compelled to miss her, but she just wished you could forget about her entirely. Wanda spun away from the stovetop, wiping her hands on a rag before she moved over to you. "I know you do, but you deserve better." she frowned when you shrugged.
"what was that?" she questioned, waving her finger around you, causing you to look up at her shyly. "what?"
"that shrug!" you let your shoulders drop in defeat as the woman leaned over the kitchen island to reach out for your hand. There was no reason for wanda to be holding your hand right now, but she'd find any excuse to touch you.  "You don't think you deserve better, hun?" her voice was so soft, the gentleness of it could make you cry.
"I don't know if anyone is better than her," you confessed. Wanda's chest tightened; she could be better. How didn't you see that? It pained Wanda in all honesty, she spent most of your friendship trying her hardest to win you over, and all you ever saw was Natasha.
"You deserve someone who won't cheat on you before your wedding." Jealousy was laced in her harsh tone, which made you look up at her, but she looked down at your intertwined hands. Her manner was always so gentle and soft when she spoke to you, and now all you could feel was anger radiate from her. she squeezed your hand gently, her thumb caressing your knuckles which let you know that she wasn't upset at you for your foolish thoughts.
"I just want you to be happy," she admitted, her voice soft as her eyes fluttered up to meet yours. "Anyone who could hurt you like that isn't worthy of your love." she was right, wanda was always right, and as much as it pained you to admit even if you ended up back with Natasha, you knew you'd never love her the same.
-------
Natasha laid in silence, her eyes trained on the ceiling. She tried her hardest to think about anything else other than you. Anything would be better than the wicked thoughts that taunted her. She knew she deserved it. She was a horrible person that deserved to be tormented for her actions. Her eyes burned with tears as she thought about you; the simple thought of your smile made her stomach hurt because now all she could imagine was the fact that she'd never be the reason for it again.
You were truthfully the best person she'd ever met, and because of her stupid decision, you were out of her life for good.  She hated that she was too stupid to see how much she wanted to commit to you. Her chest burned; she wanted nothing more than to go back in time to change everything.
She knew she'd stay home with you and spend the night showering you with nothing but love; that's all she wanted to do right now. She wanted to rush into your home and tell you a billion times that she was sorry, but she knew deep down that it wouldn't be enough, and she was emotionally ready to be turned away. She just wanted to ask to start over with you; she'd hope you'd say yes. "Nat!" Clint's voice boomed before her door swung open; she sat up in her bed, wiping frantically at her watery eyes.
"Listen, Nat! You fucked up, okay? But you can't just lay here forever." his voice was harsh, and it made a knot form in her throat. His tough love always worked before, but as she met his eyes, her lips quivered; it was clear that it wouldn't work this time, so he let out a soft sigh.
"Natty, I know you love her-" he paused to move beside her on her bed, his hand finding a place on her shoulder. She let out a soft sob, her hand coming to fly over her mouth while the other rested against her chest. He reeled her into his chest, holding her close against him. She wasn't a terrible person, she made a mistake, and Natasha needed to own it.
"You hurt her, Natasha... but you're not horrible..." he whispered, caressing her arm as she cried. She felt horrible; she felt like a monster. Her body ached as she cried, gripping onto the man's shirt in agony. Everything was so perfect between you and Natasha; there was never a reason for her to do what she had done. She wished she just spoke to you; you could make all her worries melt away.
Clint hated seeing Natasha in so much pain, he pitted her, but he couldn't help but be mad at her. He set you two up after months of Natasha pining over you; why would she ever want to mess that up? He could see how insanely flawless the relationship was; he could never justify her actions even if he tried.
"I just want to talk to her." she cried out, causing the man to sigh; he was her friend before anyone else's, so with that thought, he pulled his phone if his pocket and dialed your number. It perked her curiosity as the phone rang, and when it connected, she could hear your soft voice echo through the phone; it eased her completely.
"hey, kid," he spoke softly, causing you to hum lightly, greeting the man. You knew why he called; you didn't have the strength to hang up; you wanted to hear her. "is Natasha there?" you asked softly, your eyes fluttered closed, your heart pounded as you waited for his response.
"yeah..." he answered after some time, his gaze snapping down to the girl with tearful eyes. "she wanted to talk to you," he whispered, causing you to rub gently at the bridge of your nose. You shouldn't, you really shouldn't, but you wanted to. It scared you how much you actually wanted to speak to her; you hardly went that long without her, and now it had been nearly a month of no contact. You missed her; it was a haste decision when you uttered out, "put her on."
Natasha loved Clint at the moment; with shaky hands, she took the phone, watching as he got up and left. "hey baby," she rasped out, her eyes already watering up. "have you been crying?" you asked softly, rubbing your sweaty hand over your sweatpants. She cleared her throat, leaning back onto her bed to try and ease her nerves.
"Are you okay?" you questioned when you got no response. Natasha expected you to yell at her, tell her that she had no right to be so sad when all this mess was her fault but instead, you were the same usual soft, compassionate person that she fell in love with.
"I just miss you." her voice shook as her eyes began to flow freely once again; if she closed her eyes, she could see you, your bright smile that always managed to make her heart race. "I miss you too." it gave her hope that she shouldn't have. she tightened her hand over the phone, holding it so close to her ear so she couldn't miss out on anything you had to say.
"I know why you did it, Nat... I was scared too,"  you stated, your eyes clouded with tears, and your throat burned. "but I loved you, Natasha, and I was just so ready to be with you forever." That hurt her; hearing your voice break physically pained her more than anything ever could.
"I wish I could take it back. I only want you." this was a moment of weakness, you knew that, but Natasha's voice was so genuine and soft.
"Natty, as much as I want to tell you to come over, I can't, baby." The usual pet name rolled over your tongue too quickly; you hardly caught it until it sounded into the phone. "I know," she whispered, tugging her blanket over her body to form some comfort. "I'm sorry."
"I forgive you."
------
"I spoke to her," you whispered to your friend as she lounged in your bed, helping you find an outfit for Tony's wedding. She sat up swiftly, her eyes trained on you. "why?" she tried her best to keep her emotions at bay, but it was hard as she gazed at you.
"Clint called." you shrugged, moving to the mirror to look over the tight dress you pulled on. You could still see wanda in the mirror, roll her eyes. Your eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"you aren't thinking about getting back with her, are you?" she questioned, her heart cracking when you shrugged. "I don't know, wanda, maybe." You ran a hand through your hair when she huffed out.
"That's the dumbest shit-"
"I thought you wanted me to be happy!" you suddenly turned, inching your way over to wanda, anger dripping from your words. Why couldn't she be a good friend and tell you that getting back with her isn't that terrible. she shot up from the bed, nearing you, causing your breathing to hitch as you looked up at her. "not with her." you huffed lightly, moving to turn away from her but she caught your wrist.
"Why do you care so much, wanda? It's my life!"
"Because I love you! I can't stand to see you get hurt again," she yelled out; she never raised her voice at you before, but tensions were so high, she couldn't control it. "I've watched you fall in love with her time after time. I can't do this anymore!" with that, the witch left you there, your breathing uneven. Your thoughts were scattered as you tried to understand it all; Wanda loved you.
How couldn't you see it before? Now that you thought about it, it was painfully obvious. The girl had been practically throwing herself at you for years; you always just figured it was friendly and innocent. You knew everything was different now, though.
You moved quickly through your home, eager to find the woman who just confessed her love for you. You managed to run down the stairs just in time for Wanda to be opening up your front door. "Wanda!" you sounded desperate as you called out for her. she let out a soft sigh, turning her head to glance over at you.
Wanda softened when she noticed the faint tears that clouded your eyes. "Don't go." you pleaded; her lips parted when you choked out a sob.
"Don't leave me, Wanda," you begged, and in an instant, she shut the door before making her way over to you with open arms. You cried out when she embraced you tightly, pressing a gentle kiss to your hairline. You wrapped your arms around her shoulders, nuzzling your face into her neck.
Wanda knew this would take some work, but she was willing to try if you were.
----- When Natasha first saw you, she was starstruck. Natasha felt the same way she did the first night she met you, like a high schooler with a crush, but then she noticed how your fingers laced with Wanda's. It was a couple of months since the breakup, she still felt broken up about it, but you looked like you were happy. The way you grinned when you embraced Pepper and congratulated her made Natasha's heart pound.
It should've been the two of you who were celebrating your marriage but instead, she was staring at you from across the bar, not daring to make a move to talk to you. She didn't want to ruin your night. She'd do anything to ensure that smile stayed on your lips. You were all that Natasha wanted; she was sure you'd be the one she let getaway.
When the music slowed, you didn't hesitate to urge Wanda to dance with you, and she agreed quickly. Her hands rested gently across your waist as she stared down at you with pure adoration. "You know..." you started, your hand coming up to rest gently against her cheek. She leaned into your palm, beaming at you.
"I want this if you can give me the time." wanda leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to your forehead; wanda could wait forever just an ounce of your love. She has waited this long; if you needed time to heal, she could give you that.  
"Take your time, baby." her voice came out so soft, and you couldn't help the smile that formed on your lips. You wanted to thank her, but you knew words wouldn't be enough; wanda had been there whenever you needed her; you felt like there was only one way you could really repay her, so you leaned forward and caught her lips in a gentle kiss. It was quick, but it proved that you were serious.
Honestly, you always had a slight crush on Wanda way before Natasha; you swept it under the rug when you met the spy, but now as you stared up at her, your heart swooned. It scared you, but you knew better than to imagine Wanda ever hurting you.
"Don't hurt me," you whispered out, leaning your head against her shoulder; she let out a gentle sigh. She knew you'd have so many underline trust issues because of Natasha, but Wanda could never imagine herself ever doing something like that. You were so sweet and precious; all Wanda wanted to do was protect and care for you.
"Never," she promised, her arms growing tight around you, as much as it frightened you, you trusted her.
------
As much as you wanted to pretend that Natasha didn't exist that night, you knew you couldn't do that. The only way you could do that was if you had closure. With a shaky breath, you followed the woman out to the balcony, noticing the way she hugged herself for warmth. "Hey," you called out, your voice wary when she turned.
She knew she lost you when you looked at her with a gentle smile, you extending your hand offering the drink you had brought for her, she took it, thanking you lightly. "so wanda?" she questioned softly, you couldn't help the smile that formed on your lips at the thought of the girl.
"yeah..." you uttered out, wrapping your arms around yourself when the breeze blew. "I always had that feeling," Natasha confessed, offering you a tiny, almost knowing smile. You wondered if that's why she grew so hesitant.
"what do you mean?" you raised your eyebrow, looking out into the view. It was calming to be so high up, looking over the city. "You never looked at me the way you did her." she shrugged; her eyes lingered on you as you stood next to her. "I did love you," you whispered, snapping your gaze over to her; she nodded. "I love you," she expressed, her smile turning sad. "but I'm happy for you." you sigh, leaping forward to embrace the woman.
She needed that; she honestly did. She felt eased as she held onto you, not quite ready to let you go, and she was glad that you hadn't moved. "we'll be okay." Natasha muttered, causing you to nod, nuzzling your face into her neck. You knew that you and Natasha could be friends; everything would work out the way it supposed to, and that thought left you content.
"you ready to go, baby?" her voice boomed, causing you to break apart from the hug, looking over at the woman in the doorway who held her jacket open for you. You smiled lightly, moving away from Natasha to greet Wanda, slipping yourself into the coat when she held it up for you.
"I'll see you later, Nat." she nodded, looking over at the both of you as wanda's hand slipped into your own. "See you." she smiled weakly at you, and then you turned with wanda and left her there. As much as her body ached, she was glad you were okay. She understood that she fucked it up; she'd have to live with that for the rest of her life.
If she was honest, she still felt a thread of hope, even if it was absurd to think. Crazier things have happened in her life; maybe she was just in denial, or perhaps she was right. After all, you always ended up back with her.
