#I'll never know about that too...never even got to drink with him...we missed so many years because of my mom's shitty ex...
I remembered the song All Dolled Up by theOrionExperience and realised that it's SO Holydust besties coded!! A fun night out to forget their troubles for a few hours and just enjoy each other's company.
You can take this as a writing prompt if you feel like writing about it <33
Indigo (platonic holydust advocate)
As a fellow platonic holydust advocate I'm in! And somehow I made it about Adamsapple angst lol It's my superpower apparently.
Feel free to send more prompts/asks!
"Hey, you wanna go out and get fucked up tonight?" Angel asked Adam as he stood in the sinners doorway.
Oh boy did Adam need some fun. "Fuck yeah, ready when you are."
"Great, let's go." Adam followed Angel out and down to the lobby. He didn't miss the side eye that Angel gave Husk. "We're going out, later."
"Where are you going?" Lucifer asked from his spot on the couch.
Adam rolled his eyes. "Out. Later." He stomped out the front door. "Everything okay with you and whiskers?"
Angel snorted, "I could ask you the same thing about his majesty."
Adam looked away scowling. "Fair enough."
"I'm too sober for this shit, let's get plastered."
Adam and Angel went to a popular club in Hell, where they did shots and drank so much their blood was more alcohol than ichor by midnight.
"Can you believe he said that he wanted to slow shit down? Like shit baby if we go any slower we'll turn into fucking snails! We haven't even fucked yet." Angel drunkenly ranted as he downed another shot.
Adam hummed, taking his own. "At least you don't have everyone making fucking jabs at you about being the King's fucking boy toy. Saying that you're just a royal cock sleeve til his cunt wife comes home."
Angel frowned. "Okay you win. That sounds fucking awful. Who the fuck said that? I'll fuck them up for you!"
Adam laughed. "It's mostly that Bambi motherfucker but he doesn't know shit! What Luci and I have is real!...... I hope." He looked down sadly at the table they were drinking at. Adam felt his lip quiver.
"You really love him, don't you?"
"Of course I do! I always have, I don't really believe in all that soulmate bullshit but if I did, I'm pretty sure he'd be mine...... Why else would it hurt this bad? All I ever wanted was for him to love me." Get a few drinks into Adam and he becomes super honest. "I never forgot him. How could I? I tried so fucking hard to hate him Angel, but I can't, not really."
"Well, if he can't wake up and smell the fucking coffee and see how great you are then it's his loss bud. Someone will see it." Angel tried, it was hard to be comforting while half snapped. Sure, him and Husk had issues but they were any sized compared to Adam and Lucifer's drama. Dating a King comes with King sized drama, who knew. "I thought you guys were dating."
"Who fucking knows. Fucker sends so many mixed signals."
"Let's forget about all this shit for now and just have a good time, yeah? We need it." Angel said handing him another shot.
Adam downed it in one go. "Fuck yeah."
By the time they got home to the hotel, it was only Lucifer and Husk still waiting up in the lobby for their boyfriends. Adam and Angel burst through the door laughing and joking.
Adam plopped down on the couch next to Lucifer and Angel was taken to bed by Husk who wished he had breath mints for his baby.
Adam looked at the king. "Heyyyyy.~" He leaned over and poked Lucifer on the cheek. "How you doing?"
"You're fucking drunk as hell."
"Nah uh, you're drunk and short." Adam burst into a fit of laughter at his own joke and Lucifer rolled his eyes playfully.
"Yup, very drunk. Can you even walk?" Lucifer asked as he moved to stand in front of Adam.
Adam picked up his leg and looked down at his foot. He gasped loudly. "Oh my god! I have no toes!" Lucifer had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. Apparently drunk Adam forgot he had hooves.
"Those have been there the whole time, Adam."
"And you weren't gonna fucking tell me? Rude." Adam pouted and crossed his arms. He whined when Lucifer picked him up bridal style and held him close. "Hey!"
"Shhh, let's get you to bed." Lucifer thought about placing Adam in his own room, but decided to take him to his instead. Really, he was there so much they might as well just share the damn room.
Adam had taken to playing with Lucifer's bow tie and looking intently at the king. He felt his heart flutter, he loved Luci so much. He wrapped his arms more securely around Lucifer's neck and placed a kiss on his cheek before nuzzling his face into the king's neck breathing in his smell. Brimstone and something more earthy Adam couldn't place.
This surprised Lucifer, Adam wasn't one for gushy feelings or showing of affection. But he'll take what he can get.
Lucifer sat Adam down on the bed and helped him under the covers. Once he was settled, Lucifer got in on the other side. He watched Adam lay there, looking all around until his eyes landed on Lucifer. "Why don't you love me?"
Lucifers eyes went wide. "What are you talking about? I do love you."
Adam sniffed and looked away sadly. "That's not what I hear..."
Lucifer would really rather have this conversation with a sober Adam. "Look, I don't know what people are saying but listen to me when I say this. I love you, Adam. You mean the fucking world to me." He placed his hand on Adams cheek.
"Yeah?" Adam gave him a teary smile.
"Yes." Lucifer kissed him sweetly, he tasted like tequila. "Get some sleep, dove." Adam held out his arms and Lucifer chuckled. Drunk Adam was also very clingy. "Come here, you."
Adam snuggled against Lucifer's chest and sighed happily, he was even happier when he felt a hand in his hair messaging it gently.
Lucifer would have to be sure to show Adam how much he means to him. When he was sober of course.

Pieces Part 3
Pairing: Azriel x Reader
Summary: the aftermath of the break up has different effects on both, Azriel and Reader.
A/N: yall I'm sick🥲 the updates might be late but I'll try to post as much as possible. Hope you like this one!
Pieces Masterlist
○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●
It's been one month.
One month of Healing.
When azriel left, I told myself that I will not contact him until I'm ready. Doesn't matter how much I'm missing him or wanting him. I will not talk to him until I know I won't take him back the second I see him again.
I gave myself two days. Two days to sulk all I wanted. I spent the whole time crying and feeling miserable about myself. Before Az left at least, I wasn't by myself. At least I saw him once a day.
Now? Nothing.
I am totally alone. His absence hit me Hard. Everything I saw, almost brought me to my knees.
The kitchen where we would make dinner together, laughing and joking with each other that many times ended with us covered in flour and syrup.
The couch where we would sit cuddling and talking until we fell asleep, always waking up with strained muscles.
His office where he would sit on his chair in front of his desk, writing out reports and whatnot while I sit in his armchair reading my book. Just enjoying each others company and occasionally taking breaks to make out on the very deck, and then some.
After those dreadful days though, I called Feyre and Mor and had a very much needed girls night. We took out a wine bottle and I spilled everything to them. My mind was too drunk to think my feelings about Elain might offend Feyre but she genuinely felt sad for me and embarrassed about her sister. The poor girl even apologised to my about Elain's behavior to which I immediately told her it wasn't her fault.
When I told them how lonely it got being alone in a big house like this, they suggested maybe I should get a job or something to keep my mind distracted and promised that they'll visit me often. So I did juat that.
I found a part time job at a local library. I have to admit, I'm really enjoying it. I'm the second assistant to the sweetest lady, Hilda, who owns the shop. I don't do much, just help her in small things like adjusting books on self or helping in shipping books out or in. Layla, the first assistant, handles most of the work around the shop. My job is basically doing what she asks of me. The salary isn't much but I don't care because it's never been about money.
The first week was very hard. Everyday after I came home, the silence felt like a slap on the face, reminding me of everything I lost.
But, slowly, I became comfortable with it. Now it's doesn't hurt me as it did before.
There were many times when I think of Azriel, tears filled my eyes, but I never let them free. I sucked them in and did anything else that didn't made me cry, like taking baths, baking my favorite chocolate brownies, reading in front of the fire place while drinking hot coco or calling my friends to take me shopping.
And as time went. I started to heal. I started to feel good, happier with myself. And without even realizing it, I started to love myself.
-☆-
Azriel
It's been one month.
One month of regretting everything I did to my mate.
I've spent my whole month sulking in this room, crying and regretting everytime I chose Elain over my wife. I haven't slept at all since I came here, just enough to keep me functioning. My appetite is gone. I don't eat unless Rhys come and force feeds me like I'm some baby.
I told Rhysand and Cassian everything the first morning i stayed here. Which earned me a flick to head by Cassian and a very disappointed look from Rhys. Even though they didn't give me any scolding(which I very much deserved), the flick and expression said enough.
Rhys has refrained me of any work, handling it himself or having someone else do it. While I have been sitting around here and hating myself. It seems like even my mind has declared itself an enemy, showing me memories of everytime I dismissed Y/N and hurt her in any way at most random times, cutting a deeper cut in my heart everytime.
"Hey Az, I was thinking if we could go out for dinner tonight? There is this new amazing restaurant I saw while walking near Sidra. I really want to try it." She told me as I put on my coat, ready to go.
"I can't, I have a mission for today. Rhys told me it's important so I can't skip. We'll go some other time. Okay?"
"Ok."
I could hear the excitement in her voice when she asked me and the hurt when I rejected her and promised to go another time. The time never came. She never asked again. And I never noticed.
"Az, are you awake?" She whispers in the dead of night. Both of us sleeping on the bed. My back to her, hoping to fall asleep quickly because I have early training tomorrow.
Cassian is spending time with Nesta more, so Rhys has told me to go to an illyrian camp to check how things are going. I have to wake and go there early to catch them off guard to see what's truly going on.
I can't do that if Y/N doesn't let me sleep.
I didn't answer her that night, hoping if i dont respond, she'll think im asleep and doesnt call me again. She really didnt call me again. I prioritized my sleep over her. Her voice sounded so small. She needed me. And I didn't care.
"So, I saw a really cute baby in garden today and..." I drone out her babbling and try to quickly I can get out of here, I promised Elain to help in her garden today. She'll be disappointed if I show up late.
"Az? You're listening to me right?" She suddenly questions, I clear my throat and answer a small, of course, she nods and takes a deep breath, not saying anything anymore. I sign in relief of the silence.
I put my head in my hands and tug hard on my hair, wanting to feel hurt, hurt the kind that she clearly felt and I didn't care.
I hate myself more and more as memories flash through my mind. I can't even cry at this point. I wished she'd hit me when we fought. Slaped and paunched some sense into me. I don't blame her at all for not talking to me. Gods, I wouldn't even blame her if she left me. I deserve it.
How do I fix this?

Tumblr media
I wasn't shitting you guys btw I actually made the one-sided radiostatic playlists
here is my lyrical masterpiece. both the vox version and the alastor one. done my best to make it as lyrically accurate as possible. @styrofauxm @onesidedradiostatic i hope you enjoy this (go check out the full lyrics for the songs on google if you can't listen to it but i recommend it because all of these are bangers) feat. my stupid commentary and vox's pathetic wet cat energy
Click to listen to the Vox one on YouTube
1. the hearse — matt maeson
thought this one fit so well lyrically. the "what was it like to feel in love" part i interpreted as vox asking himself that rather than alastor
❞ i am the man we both couldn't stand, i can't wash off the dirt from my hands, what was it like to feel in love? [...] i will never go backwards, i will never be free, i will never run faster; will you sink down to me? ❝
2. i'm just ken — ryan gosling
i'm not even adding lyrics to this one, everyone should have seen the barbie movie and this song at this point. this just HAD to be in there. can you feel the kenergy?
3. too many friends — placebo
less about alastor, more about vox's existential crisis
❞ my computer thinks I'm gay, i threw that piece of junk away on the champs-elysées as I was walking home. this is my last communique, down the superhighway. all that I have left to say in a single tome... ❝
4. creep — radiohead
i mean isn't this literally his theme song?
❞ when you were here before... couldn't look you in the eye. you're just like an angel. your skin makes me cry. you float like a feather in a beautiful world. i wish I was special. you're so fuckin' special. but I'm a creep, i'm a weirdo, what the hell am I doin' here? ❝
5. where evil grows — the poppy family
y'all seen the sonic movie? we need to see vox do that dance.
❞ i like the way you smile at me, i felt the heat that enveloped me and what i saw i liked to see. i never knew where evil grew. i should have steered away from you, my friend told me to keep clear of you but something drew me near to you ❝
6. one of us — ava max
i had to edit this one a bit in the video and cut out the part about the kissing because that for sure didn't happen
❞ one of us would die for love; one of us would give it up. one of us would risk it all; one of us won't even call. one of us could say goodbye, never even bat an eye... ❝
7. colorblind — amber riley
more pathetic wet cat energy brought to you by yours truly
❞ i don't think that i'll ever find that silver lining or reason to smile. you know i used to paint such vibrant dreams, now I'm colorblind, colorblind. when did my heart get so full of never mind, never mind? did you know that you stole the only thing I needed? ❝
8. arcade — duncan lawrence
more pathetic wet cat energy brought to you by yours truly
❞ a broken heart is all that's left. i'm still fixing all the cracks. lost a couple of pieces when i carried it, carried it, carried it home. i've spent all of the love I saved. we were always a losing game; small town boy in a big arcade, i got addicted to a losing game... all i know, all i know: loving you is a losing game. ❝
9. if i can't have you — skylar astin
i picked the version from zoey's extraordinary playlist on purpose because the context of this scene is that the dude who sings it hires a bunch of singers and dancers to confess in a public space as you, the viewer, sit there and cringe at him as he gets rejected. if that doesn't have vox energy, i don't know what does.
❞ i'm good at keepin' my distance (lie), i know that you're the feelin' I'm missing. you know that I hate to admit it but everything means nothin' if I can't have you. i can't write one song that's not about you, can't drink without thinkin' about you. is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can't have you? ❝
10. do you want me (dead)? — all time low
when vox asks himself whether alastor wants him or wants him dead it's definitely the second option.
❞ i let it ride on a bet, i doubled down on a sinking ship; need a second to catch my breath: do you want me? or do you want me dead? oh, give it up for at least a second; i'm getting sick of your bullshit attitude and how you walk around like you shine brighter, it's killing me, so what do you say? do you want me? or do you want me dead? ❝
11. push — ryan gosling
i can't just put one musical number from the barbie movie in and not include the other one that fits equally as well.
❞ said, i don't know if I've ever been good enough. i'm a little bit rusty and I think my head is cavin' in. and I don't know if I've ever been really loved by a hand that's touched me, and I feel like something's got to give and I'm a little bit angry, well, this ain't over, no, not here, no; not while I still need you around. ❝
Tumblr media
Ice-cold rejection & vicious mockery: Alastor's version
the contrast of this is the best part.
Click here to listen to the Alastor one on YouTube
1. little big boy — madds buckley
he doesn't go easy on him. this is 0 compassion and 100% roast.
❞ brimstone fire and eyes aglow, little big boy's making the whole world know his name. raised on pillars and shining lights, breathing smoke for the right to keep his place. never satisfied 'till they all see how big this little boy can be. well the water's rising; tide's comin' in. does little big boy know how to swim in a pond filled with fish bigger than him? ❝
2. i help you hate me — sunrise avenue
he's so helpful fr but it's not working unfortunately
❞ i broke many hearts throughout my days. yours was the hardest one to face. though, I've never been a saint, i still love you every day, just not the lover kind of way. i know you wanna see me falling out, falling out the window. i know you wanna see me crashing down, crashing with my plane. baby, i'm way too young to die but I'll help you get over me. ❝
3. no surprise — daughtry
this is one of my favorite bands, i'm glad i got to include this.
❞ it came out like a river once i let it out when i thought that i wouldn't know how. held onto it forever just pushing it down, felt so good to let go of it now. not wrapping this in ribbons, shouldn't have to give a reason why: it's no surprise i won't be here tomorrow, i can't believe that I stayed 'til today. there's nothing here in this heart left to borrow. there's nothing here in this soul left to save. don't be surprised when we hate us tomorrow. ❝
4. go screw yourself — avery
i can picture him 1:1 delivering a swing version of this when vox confesses to him
❞ i know i've been holding it in, the way i feel about you. something i've been dying to say but I don't know how you'll take it; oh please don't go; you should know these three words i've been holding back; trying to fight, i'mma let 'em out... these three words, gotta let you know, here I go: go screw yourself. i've had enough, yeah, now we're done. ❝
5. the audacity — emelyn
this one's such a bop honestly. had to cut it in the video because i can't picture alastor realistically crying over anything vox-related.
❞ think your opinions should be broadcast... even though no one's subscribing, listening or liking but by all means, keep whining. must be tough if life's so rough. you should buy a mic, start a podcast, even though, wait, nobody asked. [...] where do all these men find the audacity? no actually, i'm stunned by your stupidity. ❝
6. friends — halocene
this one had to be on here.
❞ have you got no shame? you're looking insane turning up at my door. it's two in the morning, the rain is pouring, haven't we been here before? [...] so don't go look at me with that look in your eye, you really ain't going away without a fight. you can't be reasoned with, i'm done being polite. i've told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times. haven't I made it obvious? haven't I made it clear? want me to spell it out for you? f-r-i-e-n-d-s ❝
7. can't catch me now — olivia rodrigo
he likes the attention def especially after his return
❞ bet you thought i'd never do it, thought it'd go over my head. i bet you figured i'd pass with the winter, be somethin' easy to forget. oh, you think i'm gone 'cause i left but i'm in the trees, i'm in the breeze, my footsteps on the ground. you'll see my face in every place but you can't catch me now. through wading grass, the months will pass, you'll feel it all around. i'm here, i'm there, i'm everywhere but you can't catch me now ❝
8. take a hint — victoria justice & elizabeth gillies
this is on every rejection playlist and it's gonna be on mine too. a bop even after all these years.
❞ ask me for my number, yeah, you put me on the spot. you think that we should hook up, but I think that we should not. you had me at "hello", then you opened up your mouth and that is when it started going south. [...] what about "no" don't you get? so go and tell your friends i'm not really interested. it's about time that you're leavin', i'm gonna count to three and open my eyes and you'll be gone ❝
9. no — madilyn bailey & megan nicole
more rejection for y'all. the world needs more mean aroaces and this playlist is my contribution.
❞ first you gonna say you ain't runnin' game, thinking i'm believing every word; call me beautiful, so original, telling me I'm not like other girls, i was in my zone before you came along, now i'm thinking maybe you should go ❝
10. oh no — marina and the diamonds
a classic.
❞ don′t do love, don't do friends; i′m only after success. don't need a relationship, i'll never soften my grip [...] i know exactly what i want and who i want to be. i know exactly why i walk and talk like a machine. i'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy. ❝

I'm Right Here
Yandere Elliott finding out your pregnant
Elliott x FEM bodied reader
This is based on a scene in the game after you divorce Elliott. Mentions of depression and an attempted suicide.
Tumblr media
Shit. Shit. SHIT.
You looked at the pregnancy test on the sink, the two little lines indicating a whole new world of bullshit. Five months ago you and Elliott had gotten divorced, his obsessive behavior finally becoming too much for you but now...now what you wouldn't give to have him here at least to comfort you.
Three months ago you and him were at the Saloon and you both had one too many drinks and one thing led to another and in the morning you had a familiar ache between your legs and enough energy to run out of his cabin without looking back.
Looking at one of the tests you put one in your pocket and take a deep breath, he's got to know. You have to tell him, you have to tell him a lot of things.
You go outside in the pouring rain, the flag to your letterbox is up, you open it and see a letter from Elliott asking you to come to the beach.
You feel sick to your stomach, so many horrible possibilities run through your brain. You two haven't spoken since that night and you've heard from Leah that he wasn't doing so great, her and Willy keeping an extra sharp eye on him. It made your stomach churn, fear that you'd miss your chance to tell him.
Shoving the thoughts down you decide what must be done, you turn towards your house to grab a jacket finding it locked. You curse, Elliott most likely still has his key. Hopefully you can catch him on time.
By the time you make it to the beach, Elliott's standing in the dock, he looks weakened like he hasn't been taking care of himself, the bags under his eyes are deep and prominent, the he looks thinned out, his muscles looked weak, even his hair looked greasy.
"Elliott?" You call out coming closer to him, you're shivering and when he turns to you he notices.
"What are you doing without a coat?!" Elliott says rushing to meet you in the middle of the dock, he throws off his jacket and puts it in you.
"I locked myself out.." you admit shamefully.
Elliott sighs and pulls out his house key from a chain around his neck, with it his wedding ring.
You don't want him to take it off, it physically pains you to see the chain come off and fall into your hand.
The cold metal of your ring presses against your chest and reminds you that you two are more alike than you think.
"Why did you want to meet here?" You ask clutching the necklace tightly.
Elliott's quiet for a moment, then he walks towards the edge of the dock and speaks:
"Remember the last time we were out at sea? I spent a long time thinking about it after finishing my novel..."
You did, you remembered the entire moment like it just happened and you loved every moment of it.
"I always knew things wouldn't end well between us and deep down I always knew I'd never see the day I'd grow old."
Cold fills your veins, dread fills your heart. You reach forward and hesitate to grab his hand, to pull him off the dock and into his home.
"As it turns out not only are the unsuccessful but the unfortunate are afraid of death.."
"Elliott.." you say.
He turns and smiles at you, he lets out a small chuckle and says;
"Don't worry I'm not going to die I'll probably come back as a fish or something.."
Without thinking you throw yourself at his back wrapping your legs around his waist and your arms over his chest, he stumbled backwards.
"WILLY!" You scream out, hoping that he hears you.
"(y/n)!" Elliott almost yells at you. "Let me go!"
"No!" You scream out. "WILLY GET THE FUCK OUT HERE!"
Thunder roars and Elliott moves swings you around trying to get you off of him.
"If you go, you're going to take the two of us with you!"
Elliott pauses, your weight is doing more to him than you think, without thinking he reaches behind him and presses a hand to your unusually firm stomach.
You're starting to cry the rain thankfully mixing your tears. Finally the door to Willy's place opens and he sees you two.
"HELP ME GET HIM OFF THE DOCK!" You yell.
Willy understands what's happening immediately, and rush to help you. You hop off his back and Willy helps you take Elliott back to his house. He doesn't fight you two.
You three enter and Elliott goes on his bed and sits there unable to look at either of you.
"Keep him inside." Willy says, "I'll go get Harvey."
You nod and sit with him.
For a moment the only sound you two hear is the rain hitting the ceiling, the smell of the rain and sea mixing together in the house.
"You didn't mean Willy up there." Elliott says softly.
"No.." you say, "I didn't.."
"Are you pregnant?" He asks looking over at you, his eyes are red and he looks so broken.
You nod and start to tear up. For a moment he's quiet, and then he looks over and with humor in his voice he asks;
"Is it mine?"
You grab his pillow and make a swing at him, he smiles and puts a hand up to deflect the hit.
"Asshole!" You grunt out, Elliott grabs the pillow and you two struggle with it before the both of you are hanging onto it tightly, you're glaring at him but he's got happy tears going down his face.
"I know I'm just joking."
You let go of the pillow and he puts it beside him.
"I'm keeping it." You state, "I know you don't want to stay but...but if you did and if you wanted to know them..you're more than welcome to."
"I'm gonna be a dad." He breathes out.
"Ellie..." You say, "You can't try and leave like that again..please I can't..I can't- they won't understand and I'd..I'd miss you too much."
"You'd miss me?" He scoffs.
"I wasnt that drunk." You say the tears come easily.
"I miss you, I know how you can get but if we can work together on it so you don't keep me in bed rest just because you're jealous..."
Elliott winced, he isn't proud of his past actions.
"Then I'd welcome you back.."
"Ok." Elliott states, "I'll work on it, I'll get better and I won't leave you, I don't think I'd have it in me after..this."
You press the hand that still holds the necklace and press it back into his hand. Wordlessly he unclips the necklace and puts his ring back on his finger.
"I'll get you a new one." He promises.
"No need." You say pulling your necklace out and unclip it and put your ring back on your ring finger.
Once you're finished you notice Elliott's watching you, for how long you don't know. You stare at each other for a moment before he leans forward and kisses you. You pull yourself more on the bed, Elliott presses himself against you like you're air, like he's trying to make sure you know how much he loves you. His hand goes on your stomach and he breaks for air, his head going into your shoulder. You feel his entire body start to shake and his small cry goes to a sob.
You hang onto him tightly, as his cries continue to grow.
"I'm sorry." He sobs out, "(y/n) I'm so sorry, for everything. I love you. I swear I do I'll get better for you, for us, I swear."
The door opens and Harvey and Willy walk back in.
Elliott and Harvey talk for a long time, Willy stands at the door and you sit beside Elliott holding his hand.
At the end of it, Harvey says he's going to call a friend in the city for Elliott but tonight he shouldn't be alone.
"He can stay with me." Willy states, "Or if (y/n) wishes to keep an eye on 'im."
"I'll go with them." Elliott says, "They locked themselves out and I still have my key.."
Harvey nods and looks over at you for reassurance which you give in the form of a nod.
Once you and Elliott reach your place and he unlocks the door you're both soaking wet.
"I'll go get some spare clothes." You tell him, "I still have some of yours.."
When you come back into the living room Elliott's taken off most of his clothes and set the wet ones in the dryer.
You've seen him naked before, you've seen him fully clothed, but you can never prepare yourself the sight for how beautiful he is to you.
You wish the storm had taken out the power because you're blushing so incredibly hard at the sight of him.
Elliott gives you a soft smile at the notice of your expression. He walks forward and kisses your forehead before taking his clothes into the bathroom.
A few minutes later you're changed and both of your clothes are in the dryer, Elliott comes out holding one of the positive tests in his hand. He looks up at your with tears running down his face and asks:
"Can I frame this?"
You giggled and nod, grabbing his hand you lead him to your bed, hesitantly he puts the test on the nightstand and crawls under the covers with you.
"Are you sure?" He asks
"Yes." You say, "Are you ok with it?"
"Absolutely," Elliott says, he takes your cold hand from under the covers and presses a kiss to it. "I haven't been able to sleep since we divorced."
"You slept pretty well last time I saw you." You grunt out curling towards his chest.
"That's because I had a wonderful work out before then." He says,
You both chuckle at his response and you sneak one of your hands in his, gripping it tightly.
"I'm right here." He says, "I'm right here."
"So am I." You say, "I'm not going anywhere again."
Elliot's hand grips yours and his other sneaks around your waist.

Is there no special forces, vampire hunters, some kind of a vampire intervention team that beck could call when he first realized Helle was still after him after that first alleyway bite? Not that I want Vampire Killing Cops to get Helle, but I think they would be angy in a neat way if beck did such a mean thing to them ☺️ or was beck simply not thinking rationally (and actually part of him wants to become helle's favourite chewtoy) and forgot to do that and then it got too late?
:) this takes place before he invites helle into his home. enjoy
masterlist
tw vampire whumper, implied murder, manipulation, kidnapping mention
It was stupid. Beck knew it was stupid as he made his way to the bar, he knew it was stupid when he first laid eyes on the guy demanding free drinks from an exasperated bartender. He had stakes and crosses hanging from his belt, not even trying to seem anything other than what could potentially get him some special treatment.
A vampire hunter. The first one in the city since the incident that took place a few years ago. They had been avoiding the place like the plague, all except this one brave man who swore to liberate all humans in the area to avenge his missing brother. He hadn't gotten to work yet, as far as Beck could tell.
He walked over and took the seat next to him, nervous as ever. "Excuse me, are you the vampire hunter they've been talking about?"
The hunter turned to face him with an already annoyed look, like Beck had ruined his entire day. "Why else do you think I carry a goddamn stake, boy? What do you want?"
"I– I would like to ask for help, sir. Please. It's, it's pretty urgent."
He scoffed. "Nothing can be that urgent during the day."
That was fine. He was prepared for this. He knew hunters were an arrogant bunch. "I'll buy you a drink. Or two. As many as you want."
The stranger looked him over once again, top to bottom, trying to gauge how much money he might've had. It was a lot. He had asked for an advance at work just so he could come bribe this hunter, eager to seize the opportunity before he fled or died. "My name's Gael."
Beck looked at the bartender who had been not so subtly listening in on the conversation the whole time. "One drink for Gael, please? Whatever he wants." As soon as she nodded, he turned back to his newest friend and possible saviour. "My name's Beckett. And I know exactly where the vampire is going to be this evening. And the next. And the one after." He tugged down the collar of his sweater to reveal his mangled neck, littered with bite marks and fresh bruises. "And I don't know who else to ask for help with that."
"Oh, I'm not listening to a thrall," Gael said instantly, but Beck grabbed onto his sleeve to keep him from leaving.
"No, it's not like that! It's, it's so much worse, they're not using magic, they– they don't... they don't want me to want this," he choked out. "They specifically– they specifically want me to struggle. They're not using anything on me, and it hurts, and it's so fucking scary. Please. Please, just hear me out, at least let me give you the address–"
"Alright, alright, jeez." He yanked his arm out of Beck's grip, settling back into his chair. "That's fucked up, if you're telling the truth. I've never heard of a vampire doing that."
"Me neither. And I didn't want to." He looked at the hunter with pleading eyes, desperate for any sort of solution. "Will you help me? Please? You said– they, I've heard them say you're here to liberate us, and I don't feel very free right now. In an hour I have to get back home so they can rip my neck open again. I live in fucking fear. They, they threatened to turn me."
Gael nodded, finally looking somewhat serious. Determined, even. He pushed the glass towards Beck, much to his confusion. "You can buy me a thousand more once I killed the leech, but if we really want to do this tonight, I'm gonna have to be more focused than that. Give me the address and drink up. You need it more than I do."
-
Beck was extra jittery as he stood by the front door, hands buried deep in his pockets so he wouldn't be so cold as he waited. More than anything, he would've liked Gael to show up and tell him that all had been taken care of — but if he could only attack while Helle was distracted with drinking, well, that was fine by him too. He could endure one more bite.
He sucked in a breath when he spotted the vampire, bracing himself for the inevitable pain. One bite. Just one more. This was the last time he had to do this, because Gael was about to take care of it, and he was going to be okay. His biggest worry would be paying the bill at the end of the night in the bar.
"You look a bit anxious," they said casually as they got closer, and Beck shrugged, admittedly anxiously.
"It's, it's the whole 'having my blood sucked against my will' thing, I think," he muttered, and Helle chuckled. "And it's really cold. I'd like t-to get back inside, please."
"Yes, of course. I would not dream of keeping you longer than absolutely necessary. Oh, before I forget..." They reached into their pocket, pulling out some mystery object and handing it to them. "I think this might be yours. You must have dropped it on your way home."
"I didn't–" All the colour drained from his face when he realised what it was, a wave of nausea washing over him. It felt like his entire world had come crumbling down around him within a single moment, any hopes and dreams of freedom shattered and stomped on.
No. No, that couldn't– that was the hunter's crucifix, wasn't it? And that was... that was blood. That was definitely blood.
"No?" Helle glanced at it curiosly, then back up at him. "Who else could have possibly dropped it so close to your home at this hour?" They cocked their head to the side, eyes cold and devoid of any trace of humanity Beck had come to expect. "Did you invite anyone else?"
He thought he might collapse. He reached out with a trembling hand, slowly closing his fingers around the stolen item. "N-no," he breathed. "It's– it's mine. S-sorry."
Helle didn't let go of it right away. He allowed Beck ample time to think about all the implications, all the unspoken threats, and all the ways this could've gone down differently. Allowed him time to regret it properly. Honestly. Allowed the guilt and terror to completely devour him from the inside out, leaving nothing but an empty husk of apologies and fear.
He did regret it, now. He regretted it immensely. He regretted ever being born.
It won't ever happen again, they tried to say without words, begging Helle to continue playing along, to drop it; he understood now, he wasn't going to pull another stunt like this. Or any at all. Please.
"Good," they said eventually, letting Beck take the crucifix and put it in his pocket. He swore he could feel Gael's blood burning a hole into the fabric. "You ought to be more careful in the future. Losing something so precious can be quite the tragedy."

Love Kills.
part 1
bassist!rockstar!remus lupin x roadie!reader
In which one of your closest friends happens to be Sirius Black, who is also the drummer in the infamous punk band: The Marauders. You’ve met Remus Lupin twice before the tour begins and you found yourself quite enthralled with him. The more time you spend, the greater the need is.
warnings : mention of drinking, and that’s about it. gender neutral reader with a small understanding of drums and stuff :333
title stolen from Love Kills - Joe Strummer
hiii i know you missed me
i’d like to give a special thanks to @alegsy for all his help on this one. and if you like Alex turner go check out @joepublicspeakings :33. Seriously Al thank you much for helping me out with all the roadie tech stuff and ideas and punk music too it really means a lot and i love you sooooo much. thank u smsm
ps pls ignore that matt plays electric and not bass it’s not my fault i love him so much
Tumblr media
Sirius Black was by far the most interesting man you've ever met. He was also the reason you were stood with your hands clasped tightly around the handles of two stuffed bags.
"C'mooon, you know me, it'll be fun! You like the music, know the tech, got the skills nailed. You're the perfect roadie, join us." Sirius begged, following you around the bar. You frowned at him. Unfortunately for the raven haired man, you liked your job, which meant it took a lot more convincing to get you onside.
"Sleeping in a glorified caravan for god knows how many days doesn't exactly seem like my idea of fun! Plus, Sirius, I only really know James. Met the other lanky one, what, twice? Don't know the last guys name! It's not fair." you argued, crossing your arms and glaring at him. You had included a small white lie in the fact Remus Lupin was not known as the lanky one in your mind - you were familiar with the version of him that haunted your daydreams. He pouted at you. Yes, the fully grown man pouted at you.
"It pays well-ish! It'll get you in with the industry and it's months with your favourite person, ever. Me! On top of that, it's not a glorified caravan, we invested this year so shut your trap." he whined, giving his best puppy dog eyes.
"Right, fine, maybe. I'll, consider it. And, never ever say 'shut your trap' again. You're a daft twat, you know that?" you caved. He grinned.
"So that's a yes! And I'll do you the favour of assuming you're just trying to keep me humble." he grinned once again. Mentally, you smashed your head through a glass pane. What had you gotten yourself into?
“Nice shirt.” a voice spoke from beside you, giving you a small smile. You smiled back. The lanky one - Remus Lupin, you reminded yourself. Not that you needed much reminding; the honey eyed man stuck firmly in your brain.
“Thanks, didn’t know you liked Bowie. Thought all the punk stuff would be more for you.” you joked, peering up at him. He scoffed, as though your statement was the most insane thing he’d heard.
“Can still like the ‘punk stuff’ and Bowie. Plus, he’s a genius. Done every style and more, like.” he replied, some sort of northern accent coming in thick and fast. He was different to Sirius in many ways and you took comfort in it. Even though, at times, Remus was a tad bit mean. But, not really to you. The three times (including now) you’d met him he’d been quite lovely. Sirius had chewed your ear off about that.
“It took me years to get a grin out of him! And you do it straight away? It’s so not fair!” he whined, leaning against the counter of the pub’s bar.
“You’ll recover, posho, promise.” you said, giggling to yourself at his heartbreak.
“Yeah, suppose you’re right. Nice to see you again, by the way. It’s been a while. ‘m excited for the tour and stuff.” you said, deciding that changing the subject might suit you better.
“Me too, can’t believe Sirius actually got you on as a roadie. Did he physically fight you for it? Last time we asked you were dead set against it.” he gestured for you to walk beside him as he spoke. He was holding his bags in one hand and his bass case in the other. He made short work of putting everything bar his bag of necessities into the storage bin. Then, quickly took your own off of you, shoving them into the storage of the bus. He didn’t seem to mind doing the heavy lifting for you.
“He harassed me, a lot. At work. A lot. It’s fine though, I think I’ll enjoy it if I’m honest. If all else fails at least I’ll get contacts and friends out of it, yeah?” Remus snickered. He smiled down at you as he closed up the storage compartment.
“I’ve been telling myself that for the past, what? Decade? Trust me, he entices you in, you’re trapped now. Failed plenty of times and don’t think I’ve gained much - apart from wanting to bash all three of their heads in. On multiple occasions.” you giggle; he smiles.
“Ah well, just promise me you won’t let me kill anyone then. I’ll do the same for you.” you said, holding out your pinky for him to close the promise. It was childlike and somewhat immature, sure, but it locked the deal closed. Wrapping his pinky around yours, Remus silently agreed to your proposition.
“It’s nice to meet you— Jesus Christ! You’re lanky. Sorry. That was mean. Remus, right?! I’m the one Sirius told you about.” you shouted over the blaring music. Submission by the Sex Pistols was causing the entire room to shake and was rocking you to your core.
“Yeah. I know you. Been trying to keep up with Pads, by chance?” Remus chuckled down at you, assuming you weren’t always this dishevelled.
“Always. Thought I could out drink him, you know, for a posh boy, the lad can drink.” he smiled.
“Perks of going to a boarding school. Mix with all sorts of people, it was good for him.” you smiled.
The night seemed to fly by and you couldn’t keep yourself away from Remus. Flocking to him like a moth to a flame, your cheeks were beginning to hurt from smiling so much. Thankfully, the incomprehensible amount of vodka you had consumed helped dull the pain.
“Can’t believe we haven’t met before.” you purred, peering up at him.
“Neither. Pads is cruel, keeps all his best friends to himself. Didn’t know there was anyone else on the planet who actively enjoyed The Clash and Dostoyevsky.” he responded, bringing a green tinted glass bottle to his lips.
“Let me try it.” you demanded, holding out your hand.
“You don’t like beer.” he said, giving you a small grin.
“Wanna try, it might be different.”
“Oh, yeah? All the beers you’ve had in your life and this one just might be different.” despite his teasing, he offered you the bottle. It did in fact not taste any different. It still tasted like piss.
“Nah, still rank.”
“Shame, that, really.”
You grinned. He smirked.
The tour bus was now filled. The four key members of the band: James, Sirius, Remus and Pete, who you’d finally remembered the name of and the rest of the members of your new team. Oh! And the support band, who you kept forgetting about, The Valkyries. Lovely girls, all of them. It tickled you somewhat that James and Lily were in rival bands. And, that some how they’d persuaded the rivals to support them. The roadies with you had mostly known the Marauders since school, which inevitably led to you feeling like an outcast. It really struck home as they were all discussing stories from their youth. The road was a relentless treadmill of travel and you were provided no solace. Until a small voice called your name.
“You busy?” Remus asked, poking his head into your bunk.
“Trying to be.” you joked, smiling over at him. He looked ridiculously oversized compared to the glorified caravan.
“Don’t think you aren’t welcome. They’re lovely. Sit up a bit, will you? My knees are killing I need to sit down.” you sat up, as he instructed. He sat on the bunk opposite yours, you faced him directly. It was a little scary- his ability to practically read your mind.
“I’m sure they are, just having second thoughts, as always. Dunno, you lot all went to school together. So, just a bit of an outcast, yanno?” you whispered, emphasising this was for Remus’s ears only. He nodded his head, and then began to shake it.
“Y’not an outcast. Promise. They’ll all love you once they get to know you. Like Pads does, poor fucker can’t leave you alone.” you laughed; he smiled. It wasn’t a sympathetic smile; it was genuine.
“I love Sirius too. Best friend you could ask for, really. It’s just such a shame he’s such a slag.” you joked. Remus laughed.
“Really is. How’ve you been since the incident?”
Remus’s hand was acting as a makeshift bobble as you threw up into the bar toilet. His other hand was rubbing small circles into your back.
“I hate him! I hate how much he can drink and- I hate this stupid bar.” you whined, in between sobs. Throwing up always made you cry.
“Shhh, yeah, I know. Come on, let it all out. Y’don’t need to cry, sweetheart, you’re fine. Just have to let it all out.” he cooed, still rubbing your back. God knows how you’d ended up exclusively talking to Remus the whole night and somehow still trying to out drink Sirius. You’d been fucked when the taller of the two showed up and now you were completely gone.
“This is so embarrassing. Sorry, I feel awful.” you threw up again after that.
“Got nothing to feel sorry about. Listen, been there done that with Sirius. Learnt my lesson the hard way too, plus I’m taller than you. Takes a lot more to get me drunk, yeah? He’s just insane. Don’t worry about it.” he comforted, not at all bothered by your sickness. Giving him a dopey smile, you were eternally grateful - even in your drunken state - that it was Remus you had befriended that night.
“Thank you, tell you what, I’ll do you a deal.” Remus nodded “Pinky promise if you ever get plastered I’ll do the same for you”. Holding out his pinky, Remus tilted his head at you. You locked pinkies with him for the first time (and most definitely not the last time).
“Good deal. Do you think we should get you home? Are you close? I’ll walk you if you are.” he offered, wrapping an arm around you to pull you up.
“Yeh, like ten minutes. Thank you, Remus, really. Bet you’re glad it’s me and not you, huh?” you joked, trying to add light to the situation. Leaning into him, you were relying solely on him to stay upright.
“Nah, know you’d do the same for me. Pinky promised it, didn’t you? And, it’s no problem. Think we’re going to be good friends.”
“Don’t bring that up around me. I’m still so embarrassed.” you complained, burying your head into your hands. Chuckling, Remus shook his head.
“Could’ve been worse, you could’ve declared your undying, unrelenting and pure love for Lily, whilst stood on top of the bar and using an empty vodka bottle as a microphone for the announcement. Poor Lils never recovered.” You lifted your head to give him the loudest laugh ever.
“They’re sooo cute. It’s upsetting.” you said, lying back down in your bunk. Remus watched your every move, subconsciously. “Oh, you said your knees were hurting. You get pains? Arthritis? My mum gets that in her knees, she just keeps moving, but I think it’s making it worse.” you rambled, turning your head to face him.
“Oh, yeah, just chronic pains, really. Just try and rest as often as possible.” he explained, stretching out his legs across the two bunks. His legs fell atop your own, now creating a bridge between the gap in the bunks. You smiled over at him.
“Must suck, huh? Well, let me know if I can help. Tour isn’t really resting.” you offered, giving him a big smile.
“Yeah, thank you, speaking of tour we aren’t far off Glasgow now.” he stated, peering out the window and then down at his watch.
“I’m ecstatic.” you stated sarcastically as your stomach twisted with nerves. Telling you not to worry, the sandy haired man gave you a smile that only made your stomach twist further.
The venue was a shit hole. A complete and utter shit hole. The ceiling had a badly patched up leak, which had almost destroyed Pete’s copy of the setlist. The reason Sirius had been so desperate to get you on his staff was because you specialised in drums - his instrument, of course. You’d managed to get everything set up relatively quickly. Carefully, you began to tighten the cymbals, listening for the correct pitch and length of the ring. Humming as you worked, you stopped every so often to admire the work of the rest of the team. Frank, who specialised in strings, was particularly impressive. He had finished up rather quickly and moved on to help his girlfriend, Alice, with getting everything ready for vocals. It seemed everyone here, but you had the perfect relationship. James and Lily were a lifetimes worth supply food for the green eyed monster. Frank and Alice were just as cute, but less well known as they weren’t in the limelight.
“All good?” he shouted over at you. You gave him a thumbs up and smiled over at Alice, who was fighting with some duct tape and a wire. Everything was all good for you, at the moment.
Finally, you finished up the final checks and placed a backup pair of sticks beside Sirius’s chair. It was then onto sound checks, all went well. You actually really quite liked the Marauders music. With inspiration from bands like The Clash and The Jam it’s hard to make a bad sound. He was weird in that he’d always carry around his sticks before the show, believing it would bring him good luck. In fact, in the first show you found out all the boys weird pre-show rituals. Pete laid down on the couch and threw chocolate raisins into his mouth. James clung onto Lily ever so slightly more than usual and insisted on drinking a shot of olive oil. As the lead singer he swore upon it for lubricating the vocal cords. You nearly gagged when you watched him do it. Whereas, Remus sat outside, cigarette in one hand and a cadburys chocolate bar in the other.
Trying to escape the rest of the boys, you ended up going outside and bumping into Remus during this. Quenching your thirst for normality, you couldn’t help your next actions. “Oh, sorry, hope I’m not interrupting.” you stated, giving him a small smile as you gravitated towards him.
“Nah, take it you saw James’s shot?” he said, before taking a long drag from the cigarette. Wincing, you looked at him with pure disgust in your eyes. “No I get it, can’t be around him when he does it either. Makes my jitters worse.”
“Christ, you don’t look nervous at all. Good poker face. Your sound check was really incredible though. James performs like Joe Strummer, it’s funny. You’re good, really fit the part of Paul, huh?” there was an unspoken message behind fitting the part of Paul. The bassist of the Clash and the so called good looking one of the group (as stated by their drummer, Topper). You thought the same about Remus.
“You calling us Clash tributes? Also, he humps less than Joe.” You laughed. Full force laughter left your lungs as you keeled over in genuine disbelief. Snickering, Remus looked down at you, a little scared you’d collapse on the floor and knock yourself out. You went to speak, but the words were drowned out in laughter. “That tickled you, dinnit?” he mumbled, dropping his cigarette and crushing it below his foot. The shout of ‘Five minutes till you’re on!’ snapped you out of your laughter. Grinning up at Remus, you tilted your head.
“Break a leg!”
“It’s not the theatre.”
“Oh, good luck.”
“Thank you.” he replied, smirking down at you. He pushed the final piece of his chocolate bar into your hand before walking inside for the ‘team talk’. Time seemed to move at the speed of light whenever the lanky man was around. You found yourself completely lost in everything about him. Seriously, you couldn’t believe how long Sirius had deprived you of this perfect man.
Frank had told you whilst you were setting up that the band always had a talk before going on stage. The talk often consisted of: “James don’t cry and don’t fuck up” from Sirius and Remus; “Dodge bottles, whatever you do don’t get hit please you’ll look stupid.” as the general message to the whole band and “Jump around”, which was mostly directed to Peter and Remus. Frank had also warned you about the dangers that came from within the crowd. Police. Famously, punk music was viewed as being quite aggressive; it ended up being the roadies job to make sure fighting and dancing could be differentiated. Sirius hadn’t told you about that part whilst advertising the job. However, now wasn’t the time to take offence.
Erupting like a volcano, the crowd filled the rotting venue with noise. You watched the boys sprint on stage. All leather and tight fitting trousers.
James really did look like Joe Strummer when he performed and Remus was right about his comparison too. Sirius looked truly ecstatic whenever he performed and the energy brought about by the show pulled Peter from his shell. And Remus, oh, Remus. He was entirely perfect.
Catching yourself, you blinked and shook your head. You’d met this man three times, including the current interactions and here you were, fawning over him. Sure, it’d get you in a little bit of trouble, but what harm is a crush. Right? Not much harm compared to glass bottles and punk rockers. Oh, and a leak in the ceiling with wires messily taped to the floor.
Bang.

A coffee shop meeting…
Tumblr media
Summary: Fate steps in when a teacher in her not-even-quarter-life crisis meets Matty Healy.
A/N: There's a very strong possibility that I'll never post any other writing on here again, but I hope this brings a smile to someone else's face. This was a daydream born of my love both for the 1975 (Matty in particular tbh) and for the found family trope. Hope you enjoy it!
“You don’t happen to have a light, do you?”
“No, I don’t. Maybe it’s a sign you shouldn’t smoke it.”
“I’ve done a lot worse, believe me.”
“Oh, I know. Doesn’t make that nicotine any better for you though.”
Eleanor looked across at her companion, eyebrows raised in challenge, waiting to see if he had a comeback. The café, which had been heaving when she arrived a couple of hours ago, now had only two customers remaining. In their typical British fashion, they hadn’t spoken until now, despite being alone at their adjacent tables, so Eleanor was surprised to hear him finally breaking the ice over the rattling of coffee cups being tidied away. She watched as he put the cigarette back into the packet, a smirk overtaking his features.
“So you do recognise me then.”
Crap. Of course that’s what he took from that. Matty Healy - 1, Eleanor - 0.
“Yes, I recognised you, Matty,” Eleanor replied with a sigh. She couldn’t believe she’d lost that easily.
“Why didn’t you say anything? You were the only one in here that could see my face.”
“I was working,” she paused. “Or at least trying to. I don’t usually focus well in busy places, too many more interesting things to study.”
“Why are you here then?”
“My cousin lives in Manchester and I’d come to visit him. We managed to have half a day before he got called in for a last-minute shift at work. I missed my train home by literally seconds, then I saw that the next one was cancelled, so I thought I’d get some planning done while I wait for the one after to arrive.”
Matty was listening to her intently now, his chin resting on his hand. Eleanor wondered what he was doing here. Since he arrived, he’d alternated between drinking cups of coffee, scribbling frantically in his Moleskine, and watching the comings and goings of customers out of the corner of his eye. Before she could ask him, however, he dived in with yet another question for her
“And what sort of planning would that be?”
“Factorising quadratics with Year 9, area of a trapezium with Year 7, and recurring decimals revision with Year 11.”
Matty exhaled loudly, leaning back in his chair, the glint in his eye telling her that he was impressed. “You’re a maths teacher then.”
“Bingo.”
“That must be a tough gig.”
“Just a bit.”
“You seem quite young to be a teacher.” It was a statement, but the furrow in his brows betrayed his confusion.
“I’m 22, so I guess I am.”
“Do you enjoy it?”
Eleanor hesitated, considering what her reply would be, and Matty waited patiently, almost watching the cogs turning in her brain. “I do, for the most part. I work with an amazing team of people, and I love seeing the difference I make to those kids’ lives. Not everyone has that purpose, so I’m lucky really.”
Matty narrowed his eyes at her, knowing that she wasn’t telling the full story. And that was how Eleanor found herself pouring her heart out to the curly haired singer, the troubles that she had bottled up inside her for months finally breaking free, whether she liked it or not.
She told him about how she lived in a permanent state of exhaustion, tired from the never-ending to do lists and the unbearable repetitiveness of her daily life. She told him about the part of her that regretted throwing herself into such a big career at such a young age, and how she felt that she missed her chance to be young and wild and carefree because she’d always been so focused on her work. She told him about how she’d thought about leaving her current life behind and starting again so many times, but had ultimately been too scared of failing and letting people down when they’d given up so much to help her get to where she was now.
To his surprise, Matty didn’t feel like interrupting her once during her monologue. He simply wanted to let her talk, to let her share her thoughts with him. It was like he could actually see some of the weight lifting off the girl’s shoulders as she unburdened herself of her worries, and it almost made him smile to think that she felt comfortable enough to tell him when he somehow knew that she had never told anyone else. So he just listened, letting her ramble on until she ran out of things to say.
When that time finally came, Eleanor let out a big exhale and looked Matty in the eye as he responded with one word: “Wow.”
Eleanor felt her face start to burn and she buried it into her hands. “Oh my God, I’m so sorry. This is probably the last way you wanted to spend your afternoon, being on the receiving end of my word vomit.”
“You know what, it actually made a refreshing change. Didn’t expect to get recruited as a therapist today.” Matty watched her shoulders start to shake under her blanket of blonde waves, and was shocked at the worry he felt that she might be crying. But when she looked up she was giggling, despite the faint sheen of tears in her eyes.
“Oh, so you’re my therapist now?”
“You mean you didn’t purposefully choose me? I’m wounded.” That made her laugh properly this time, and Matty found himself unable to hold a soft smile back any longer before his expression turned more serious. “Look, I’m not going to pretend like I know how to solve your problems, and I’m not even sure if you want me to, but can I say one thing?” She nodded. “I think that if the people that you’re worried about letting down really love you, they’ll be more upset if you carry on doing something that’s making you miserable for their sakes than if you give it up.”
Eleanor mulled over the singer’s words and whilst she knew deep down that they were true, it didn’t change the fact that she was absolutely terrified at the idea of giving up teaching. Below the supportive façades, she knew her parents would always berate her for leaving such a stable, well-paid career, and her pride would never let her return to work at her current school with people that she adores if this mysterious plan B failed. She relayed all of this to Matty.
“Well who gives a flying fuck what anyone else thinks anyway! What’s the point in life if you don’t do something you love?”
“But teaching is the only thing I’ve ever even contemplated doing, I’ve got absolutely no idea what else I’d do.”
“Listen, you’re young, intelligent, beautiful, and you’ve literally got the whole world out there with so many possibilities - it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it right first time.”
“Careful, Healy, I might start thinking you like me,”
Now, if you asked Matty Healy of The 1975 why his immediate response was to do a stereotypically girlish impression of that comment before flipping off the young woman sat in front of him, he wouldn’t be able to tell you. Nor could he explain why, after only an hour of talking to her, he felt such an incredible fondness for her, an almost brotherly affection, which prompted him to tell her how amazing she seemed to be. But he could describe how his heart soared as she laughed at him, and then sunk as she realised the time and started hurriedly packing her stuff into her bag.
“Shit, shit, shit. Do you think I can make the train in 5 minutes? I can’t miss this one as well. This is all your fault you know!”
“Hang on, how is it my fault? You’re the one who started emptying your brains onto the table.”
“And you were the one who made the mistake of listening.” Eleanor swung her bag onto her shoulder, and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek. “Thank you.”
Then she was running out of the coffee shop, a blur of blonde hair and floral perfume.
It was only then that Matty realised he didn’t even know her name.
***
1 year later…
“Lovely to meet you, take care.”
As soon as the interviewee had left the room, the smiles on four of the five faces dropped and they let out a sigh.
“Guys, if you want to actually do this, we do need to hire someone.”
Matty tugged at his hair in frustration. “It’s not that we’re not on board with it, Jamie, it’s just got to be with the right person. I mean, it’s letting someone totally unknown to us into an entire chapter of our lives, not just our careers.”
It was just over a month ago that The 1975 had told Jamie Oborne that they were ready to start working on their next album. In the same meeting, Jamie had proposed an idea that he had been mulling over for a while. The response to ‘A Theatrical Performance of an Intimate Moment’ had been better than anyone had anticipated, and the fans always loved seeing behind the scenes footage. So, Jamie had suggested filming the entire journey of their next album, from concept to creation to tour, and releasing it as a mini-series. Of course, the band could get the footage themselves, but whether they would actually remember to do it was a different story.
That was how they found themselves in a boiling hot room in the London office of Dirty Hit, having collectively decided against all 15 people they had interviewed for the role of documentarian.
“I mean, they all just seem so serious,” Matty continued.
“Boring, you mean,” George muttered.
“This thing does have to look good, though, for it to work, and these were the most qualified of all the candidates,” Jamie countered.
“We don’t fucking care about qualified!”
“I think what Matty’s trying to say, mate,” Ross calmly cut in, “Is that we were thinking of something more low key. More of a collection of home movies than something carefully filmed and edited.”
“Yeah, we don’t know how long this thing is going to go on for, way over a year at least, and we don’t want to feel like we’re putting on a show the whole time. It’s got to be authentic. It’s gonna be fucking weird at the start but after a while we just want it to be like a mate is casually filming what we’re doing.”
Jamie had to admit that George closed their argument well, and he was sold on it. He just wished that they had told him sooner.
“Okay, okay, I get it and I’m happy for us to go ahead with that. There’s one more person for us to speak to today, who was kind of my wildcard, so if she’s more what you’re looking for then we can revisit some of the other applications tomorrow.” With that, Jamie left the room to get the last candidate.
“A wildcard? What is this, mid-2000s X Factor?” Matty huffed, to the amusement of the others.
But any annoyance that Matty felt was washed away in an instant when he saw who his manager was holding the door open for.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Matty’s words might have sounded rude, but it was the smile spreading across his face that shocked everyone the most.
“I’m here in an attempt to annoy you for longer this time,” Eleanor smirked.
“Well, you’re failing miserably at this point. How are you?”
“I’m good. Really good, actually.” A genuine smile crossed her face this time. “Didn’t think you’d remember me to be honest.”
“I often wondered what you decided to do with your life in the end,” Matty shrugged. “It frustrated me knowing everything and then nothing at all. So I guess you have already succeeded in your goal to annoy me.”
Before you had chance to reply, another voice broke through to join the conversation. “Sorry to interrupt this lovely chat, but would someone kindly explain what the hell is going on here?” It was George, and he, like everyone else in the room, was stumped by Matty’s sudden personality transplant.
Now very aware of all of the eyes on her, she looked to Matty for help, who simply sat back in his chair before saying “Well, I think you’re sat in the better seat for a storytime, don’t you? Anyway, I don’t even know your name.”
So Eleanor told the room about how she had met their frontman, briefly mentioning the life crisis that she’d been having at the time, whilst Matty impatiently waited to hear what happened after she left the coffee shop. She told them how she’d stayed in teaching until the end of that school year, before handing in her notice. Her boss had been sad to see her go, but told her that if she ever decided that she wanted to come back then he’d always find a job for her. Eleanor’s family, however, reacted quite differently; she ended up having a massive row with her parents about it and her relationship with them still hadn’t quite mended fully. Ever since her move to London, she had been taking whatever bar jobs she could find and spent her days applying to any jobs that took her fancy.
Matty couldn’t help the pride that was coursing through him for the young woman sat across from him. She had taken all of those ‘What ifs’ that she’d told him about, thrown them in the fire and walked away, when he knew that all of her instincts would have been telling her to do the opposite. He looked around at the others, and was both amused and pleased to find that they all seemed to be as entranced by Eleanor as he had been at their first meeting. In Matty’s eyes, she was the perfect fit, and he could tell that she was quickly winning the others over as well.
Surprisingly, it was Adam who spoke up first. “So, you’re saying that you’re totally unqualified for this job?”
“Never done anything like it before in my life. But it sounded interesting and I’m always up for learning new stuff.”
“Never been behind a camera? Never had anything to do with the music industry?” Ross asked, slightly taken aback by her honesty.
“Not the music industry, but I used to study music at school and I still play the piano from time to time.”
“And I take it you’re on board for annoying Matty as much as humanly possible?” It was George this time.
“Oh 100%.”
Matty rolled his eyes, but the smile remained on his face. She’d done it. Now, there was only one person left to convince. Matty quickly joined the others in looking at Jamie the way they used to look at their parents when the ice cream van pulled up on their road.
Eleanor watched on nervously as some sort of telepathic conversation seemed to transpire between the band and their manager.
Eventually, the silence broke and a new chapter began.

Other Parts: Part One and Part Three.
Tumblr media
Because he was expecting a text from you any day now, Jeno couldn't step away from his phone. He tried to play to cool and left his phone facedown but he just kept wondering if he'd got a message yet and so decided to leave it face up and stop fighting it. Luckily you texted him later that same evening and Jeno smiled widely when he saw your message.
"So about that games night...we have to pick a day my brother is busy or he'll hog the remote. When is he busy when you're not?". Jeno knew you'd said it was because Jaemin was a hog which he could confirm but he also liked to think it was because you wanted alone time with him and he liked that idea. So he inspected the group schedule and came back with 5 dates, one this week and a few more later in the month to give you lots of options. You came back with the earliest one and Jeno realised that was only 2 days away!
The days passed quickly and before he knew it, you were outside the door. Jaemin had complained he was missing out on this but you'd broken to news to him and taken the blame. You'd claimed you had work at the other times and he could join next time. Jeno liked being your secret and happily went along with it. All of Jaemin's huffing and puffing was worth it when Jeno opened the door and saw you standing there.
The first thing he noticed was how great you looked and that brought him to the second thing he noticed...you were dressed soooo differently from how you dressed when you came over to hang out with Jaemin. You never looked bad when you played with Jaemin, Jeno always thought you looked good in joggers and athletic wear. It was more he noticed you'd purposefully made an effort, knowing you were going to see him. That thought alone excited Jeno and he couldn't help but give you a big smile.
He ushered you inside, helped you take your coat off and then showed you what he'd prepared. "So I got some snacks and drinks for us" Jeno said gesturing to the counter in the kitchen "and I figured we could order food in whenever we want to eat. I've made a list of all the good places and all the menus are on a pile on the table for you to look at". "Wow you're literally perfect" you said "you brought food and worked out ways to get more!" and Jeno smiled "is that the only thing you have to do to be perfect?". "No but it definitely gets you at least halfway there" you said and Jeno smiled, making a mental note to watch everything you ate and always have some in the apartment for you. "Well then I'll never stop doing it" Jeno said and with your snack choices, he led you through to the living room.
Jeno let you select the first game but of course, it was Arceus and he loved that game so was very happy to play it. You could play multi-player too so actually got to team up and Jeno was in full gamer mode wanting to impress you. "Wow you're really good at this!" you said as he took out an opponent with one move. Jeno shrugged "I've just played it a lot, it's one of my favourite things to do after a long day at work. I know that's boring and nerdy but...it's what I do" he trailed off and you smiled "I don't think it's boring. Plus you definitely do not look like a nerd and I think many geeky boys would be furious at you using their title". Jeno laughed "I think I can pull off the nerd look" and you shook your head "not at all, nerds don't have bodies like yours and can't do flips". Jeno went bright pink and only just realised the two of you were sat rather close together. He looked down rapidly, his blush growing and this time you couldn't pretend you hadn't seen it.
"Do I make you nervous?" you asked and Jeno blinked "I...kind of". You watched him "in a good or bad way?". "Definitely good" he said "you always have, ever since we were in school". "Really?" you asked and he nodded "I think you just have that effect on people" and you nodded "I like the effect I have on you". Jeno's breath caught in his throat and he turned to look at you properly "you do? Why?". You smirked and Jeno thought he was going to drop dead right there from how sexy you looked. "Because it's so gorgeous to see a hot guy like you look at me the way you are" you said with a husky tone. Jeno blushed looking away and you smiled "do you get uncomfortable when I compliment you?". Jeno nodded and you shook your head "you don't have to, I'm not that scary Jeno. I won't bite...not without permission". Jeno blushed again and with a chuckle, you moved away and grabbed the controller. "Okay I say we complete this section and move on to another game! There are lots of games I want to play and only so much time". "You can't leave a game in the middle of a level that's just poor etiquette" Jeno cried "come on Y/n I thought you were a serious gamer!" and you smiled. "Fine!" you agreed seeing the logic in Jeno's words but honestly he would've said anything to get you to stay longer.
You were still there when Jaemin got home in the early hours of the morning. You both said you didn't realise the time but you were both liars who just didn't want this to end. "Don't you have work in like 5 hours?" Jaemin asked and Jeno's eyes widened "what? Y/n you're going to be so tired!". "Yeah unless you go to sleep like right now so Jeno you pack up the stuff and I'll get Y/n some pillows so she can crash on the sofa". Jeno hopped up to help and cleared the living room while you got changed into some shorts and a top, this time your brother's which annoyed you but he'd beaten Jeno to it. You were wondering where Jeno had gotten to and found him in the kitchen making a smoothie. You smiled "still hungry after the bucket load of food we ate?" you asked. Jeno jumped nearly spilling it and he put the lid on before shaking his head. "No I thought I'd make it for you for breakfast tomorrow. That way you don't have to worry about breakfast and can get a few more minutes asleep. This was honestly so sweet and you stared at Jeno for a few seconds stunned. "I...thank you" you smiled "you're always so kind to me and it always surprises me. You're a great guy Jeno". Jeno loved your praise and went a light pink colour "thanks...I think you're a great girl" he said in reply.
You moved closer to him and went to say something when Jaemin appeared "there you are, everything ready now come on time for bed". You rolled your eyes "your my older brother by minutes not dad!". "I'm just trying to save everyone from sleep-deprived Y/n, you're a monster when you don't have sleep". You gasped and attacked Jaemin who you could always beat in a fight. He called Jeno for help but Jeno shook his head "sorry Jaemin but I'm not getting involved". "Traitor! I thought you liked me more than her?" he asked and a long silence followed. You could see Jeno felt awkward and smiled "well I should be going to bed, thanks for the amazing night Jeno we'll definitely do it again and thanks bro!" you said punching his shoulder and then disappeared. Jeno stayed in the kitchen to tidy away and Jaemin hovered around him like he wanted to say something but when Jeno looked at him he just said goodnight and left.
You were gone when Jeno got up the next day but you texted him again thanking him and asked when he was free to do it again which made Jeno's morning. You arranged to meet again and you and Jeno managed to dodge Jaemin 2 more times before he had enough and he arranged the games night...and turned into a group event.
Jaemin had invited all the NCT-Dream members and they'd all accepted, much to Jeno's horror. You'd accepted too and Jeno was purposefully waiting near the front door for you to arrive because he was worried you'd get lost. With 8 people coming Jaemin and Jeno's apartment seemed too small so Johnny had offered to host it at his house bringing the grand total to 9!
You'd never been to Johnny's house before and were unsure where you were going. Jeno had sent you directions but you'd also asked Jeno to be reachable in case you got lost. So he kept his eyes glued to his phone, hovering near the front door but acting like he wasn't so his members wouldn't get suspicious. The guys kept calling to him from the other room but Jeno just pretended he hadn't heard them and carried on waiting when he heard a door close. He looked out the window and saw you'd arrived and he got really excited before calming himself down. He rearranged his hair, brought his shoulders back, arms forward and opened the door.
You smiled when you saw him "I've got the right house!" and Jeno laughed "yeah you did it!". "Am I okay parking there?" you asked "I know I've blocked some of you in". "Yeah it's fine don't worry" Jeno said really not caring if the guys were blocked in so long as you were here. "Sorry this turned into a whole group thing" Jeno said and you smiled "are you apologising because I don't get you all to myself?" you asked and Jeno blinked. "I erm...I'm not saying you wanted me all alone" Jeno said unsure what to reply and you shook your head "no you're right I do enjoy our one-on-one game nights but don't worry I'm sure I'll cope" you said. Jeno blushed slightly and led you inside. "So everyone's here and we're all in the living room" Jeno explained "you can hang your coat here" he said and hung it up for you. By this point, the guys had seen you and began calling out to you.
You of course knew all the Dream guys and they all called out to you with various greetings. Then Jeno watched as Jaemin dragged you over to Johnny who you greeted as friendly as ever. Jeno knew you didn't say Johnny specifically when you were talking about attractive guys but he was still a pretty attractive and charming guy. Plus he was American so had that foreign charm and flare. So as Jaemin introduced you both Jeno held his breath waiting for the earth to start shaking or the romantic music to start playing but nothing happened. You said hi to Johnny and thanked him for inviting you over and he was friendly back. That was it and then you came back to Jeno "so what game are we playing first?".
The guys wanted to play a racing game which wasn't your and Jeno's go to but you both dutifully sat down and went along with it. The two of you had definitely got into a gaming routine and Jeno handed you the red remote without even thinking about it. Haechan had a problem with this.
"Hey" he whined "I want the red remote" and Jeno just looked at him "it's Y/n's". "Since when?" Haechan asked "I thought it was your controller". "Yeah but whenever we play Y/n has it" Jeno said "so she gets it, you can have the yellow one" and he shoved it into Haechan's hands. You laughed and stuck your tongue out at Haechan who pouted unhappyily. He ran off to tell Johnny but even Johnny didn't interfere. He could see the way Jeno looked at you and was happy to let the boy shoot his shot and if the red controller helped with that then so be it.
The afternoon passed quickly in a mixture of gaming and chatting. You got to know Jaemin and Jeno's members quickly and liked them all. They'd heard a lot about you and vice versa so it was fun to actually form friendships with them. Haechan forgave you for the controller incident and you spent 40 minutes debating who was the better artist Baekhyun or Kai. You were both stubborn and enthusiastic and just settled the argument by listening to each of the Exo's members solo and just gushed over them instead. Agreeing they were both great.
Jeno tried not to be creepy and overprotective but he made sure to keep an eye on you to make sure you were okay. He spotted you and Haechan's battle over Exo and didn't like hearing you saying how hot Kai's hips were. He made a mental note to ask for sexier choreography in the next comeback and to try and do the Rover challenge with Kai to show he had good hips too. He was debating texting Taeyong now to ask when you appeared best to him.
"Hi" you said and Jeno jumped "hey, you having a good time?". "I am actually, you're all pretty great and I see why my brother likes being an idol so much". Jeno nodded "yeah we're all pretty great...not as good as Baekhyun or Kai though" and you smirked. "Are you jealous?" you asked and Jeno blushed "no...but are his hips really that amazing?" he asked. You laughed and looked at Jeno "well maybe it's just because I haven't seen yours". Jeno turned even pinker at that but didn't look away this time. "I was just thinking of a way to show you them" he said and then froze as your eyes widened. He moved away and immediately explained what he meant. "As in through dance!" he said "I thought I should try Kai's Rover challenge. Oh god that sounded so wrong" and he was panicking when you put a hand on his arm. "Jeno it didn't sound wrong or atleast I didn't think it did". "You didn't?" he asked and you shook your head "how could anything you say sound wrong?" you asked "especially when you say things like that. I was actually quite excited with what ideas your words formed in my head".
Now Jeno was sure this must be some dream he was having. You were basically telling him you'd quite like to sleep with him and doing it in such a sexy way. Jeno had no idea what to say. His mind went straight to "yes please" but he couldn't say that so he blinked and tried to form words. Luckily Mark saved him. "Hey Y/n you going to game or just sit them flirting with Jeno all night?". You turned around and threw a cushion straight at Mark's head getting him in the face. The guys laughed and Jeno was happy, very pink because of Mark's comment but happy. "That's it, I'm playing this round just to beat Mark" you said and Johnny passed you his controller and gave up the good seat for you "be my guest".
Jeno watched you take on the guys in one of their favourite games and couldn't find you any hotter. You were the perfect girl for him and he wanted you so he decided today would be the day. Something would happen tonight and he wouldn't stammer or struggle to find his words. He'd let you know how he felt and the only way he was going to do that was to keep flirting with you.
So when you went to grab a drink from the kitchen he took his chance. He skipped over to your chair and sat in it. "Y/n's just gone to grab a drink, she'll be coming right back" Mark said and Jeno nodded "I know" making Mark smile. "But she'll want to sit there" Renjun said confused and Mark laughed "yeah dude that's the point!" and Renjun blinked before he got it "ohhh okay". Jeno was blushing slightly as the guys teased him and then you reentered the room.
You walked in and sighed immediately. "Jeno!" you cried seeing he'd taken your seat and he just smiled at you "mine now". "But I want to sit there" you whined "I'm playing next so I need to see the TV!". "I'm not stopping you" he replied and you pouted "Jeno!". Sorry I'm comfy so I'm not moving" Jeno said and with a sigh, you shrugged "fine!" and sat in his lap which was exactly what Jeno had wanted...until it backfired.
The game started and you were doing well playing Mark, however you were an expressive gamer who typically moved around a lot. Jeno hadn't noticed this before but now you were sitting on his lap he did.
You got excited when you were doing well in the game and would bounce slightly. When you first did it Jeno stiffened and realised he hadn't thought this through. Then when you were shot you sighed and moved further into his lap which made Jeno tense and he wondered if you were doing this on purpose. Then when you started bouncing again his hands went to your waist to try and stop you but you just ignored him. "Y/n" he whispered but you didn't pay him much mind. "Can talk busy winning" you said and started yelling at Mark who yelled back. Meanwhile, Jeno was trying to breathe deeply and just power through this. He told himself he could get through this...he HAD to!
5 minutes later all he could think about was you and everything he could feel with you pressed up against him. You seem to have well and truly forgotten he was beneath you and just used him like a chair. You even leaned your head back on his chest and touched his leg slightly when you rested your hand. Everything you did drove him crazy. Jeno could feel blood rushing to parts of him and knew he had to do something fast. "Y/n I have to get up" he said and you made a whine which really didn't help his situation. "But you're so comfy" you said with a smirk and Jeno blinked rapidly, trying to remain calm. He was worried any moment you'd realise what was happening and then you shot Renjun and let out a loud cheer pressing further into his lap. That was too much and Jeno was at his break point. Jeno shot up, picking you up with him, put you down in the chair and ran out of the room as quickly as he could.
You didn't notice what had happened too busy trying to defeat Renjun again but the other guys had. Mark and Haechan were in stitches and rushed to tell Jaemin everything. Johnny came to see if Jeno was okay and told him he could rest in his room if he was too embarrassed or couldn't see you right now. Jeno waited for little Jeno to calm down and then rested in Johnny's room like his hyung suggested. He was having a lie down when there was a knock at the door. For a second he froze, what if it was you? What if you knew? But then the door opened and it was someone even worse.
It was Jeamin.
"You got a boner because of my sister!" he cried and Jeno froze "shit". Jaemin was furious and Jeno tried to explain it. "It was just because she was sat in my lap and bouncing" he said "that was all. Any guy would've reacted the same way". "Why was she even in your lap in the first place?" Jaemin asked and Jeno looked down like a guilty puppy. "I stole her seat and refused to move". "So you wanted her to sit in your lap" Jaemin said and Jeno's blush was enough of an answer. "I knew there was something going on with all your secretive gaming dates when I'm conveniently busy and that weird moment in the kitchen the other week. What do you want with her Jeno?" Jaemin asked and the boy blushed. "I don't know I just think she's really hot okay! We've been talking more and she's really cool and funny. I like her" he admitted. Jaemin stared at him for a few seconds before he sighed. "You're lucky you're one of the nice ones" he said "just don't hurt her and I don't want to see anything. Got it?". "Wait you're giving me permission?" Jeno asked and Jaemin looked at him. "You don't need my permission, she's a grown woman but no I won't stand in the way of it". Jeno was stunned but really thankful and he conveyed that to Jaemin before he left. Jeno rested for a little longer but didn't want to cause a scene so returned later.
Things seemed to have calmed down and he saw you sat with Renjun quietly talking. Jeno felt warm again the second he looked at you so he purposefully went and sat next to Johnny instead. You smiled as he passed and he smiled back but thought he was still too emotional to face you again. Luckily you left 30 minutes later and once you'd gone he had to endure all the guy's teasing. Jaemin conveniently left the room while the guys roasted him. Once they'd ripped him to shreds they started focusing on the positives. "Well she's into you at least" Mark said and Jeno sat forwards "you think so?". "Yeah you could totally see it" Haechan said "well not in the same way as your attraction. She didn't get a boner but she was totally flirting with you". "Yeah and even the way she looked at you was hot" Johnny added "she wants you man". Jeno couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the night.
You apparently wanted him and now there was nothing stopping him from going for you.

You and Me, Mercy in Between
Vampire! Ayato x Fem! Witch! Reader
Summary: Sleep is a precious thing and Y/N misses it. You know those times when you are so tired that your thoughts go all over the place and get a little too much to handle? Ayato is great at leading Y/N's brain into something that's too much for her with such a lack of sleep. Luckily he's also smart enough to know when to stop pushing someone so far especially when likes their company.
A prequel fic for Willingly Within Your Grasp. You can read this in any order for now
Words: 2,304
AN: Everyone thank @milkstore for keeping my brain rot going through this au and editing/reviewing this fic. Also for naming this fic. I have so many ideas and lore I've come up with for this au. I just have so many thoughts about this au. There's so much I want to expand on to the point I started writing the third part already.
This fic is T-rated. Typical vampire behavior. Mentions of blood and animal death. Mentions of main character death with none occurring
It had been a long week for Y/N. She had never been a big festival person before. It didn't help this week was ending with Ayaka accidentally touching some silver earrings cause she thought they would be a nice gift for Y/N. She was lucky Thoma was with her for quick damage control. Even then casting a spell changing someone's memory of the incident sucked. It was her least favorite part of the job.
First came finding out exactly who and everyone who may have witnessed the incident. Then came the disguise spell so not a soul would know who she was. Finally the memory shift. It sucked to do and sucked to have happened. The things she would do for the Kamisato clan.
In came the knock at her door. Did no one read the do not disturb sign? She only put it up for important potion-making. Even though she was lying on the bed trying to get any bit of rest before she had to actually get up and work. A second knock at the door.
"Who is it?" She yelled. "I'm busy at the moment." An understandable lie with the lack of sleep she had over the week.
"It's me. Can I come in real quick?" Thoma asked gently.
She sat up. "Come in." She pulled a blanket around her body. Her sleep schedule was so ruined it was going to mess up her brain.
He came in, took one look at her, and winced.
Y/N frowned. "Thanks for the confidence boost. Needed that."
"Sorry. Lord Kamisato requested your presence. We also are low on blood. You are going to have to make the blood replacements again." The apology in his voice was just too evident as he spoke clearly feeling sorry about having to give her more tasks.
"How far off are you from learning those incantations?"
He laughed awkwardly. "The pronunciation is still confusing me. I could always go fishing if that helps."
"That would. I appreciate it." It was hard to remain upset at Thoma for interrupting her first break in a while. The fish fix wouldn't be perfect but it would help the situation out. "Tell him I'll be there soon."
"Will do." And with that, he left leaving her back into the darkness of her room.
Y/N got up and went over to move the blackout curtain to see what time of day it was. Sunset. Ayato couldn't have slept until actual nightfall for her sanity at least. She looked down at her bedclothes. It still looked like they were just put on. The wrinkles of sleep were deeply missed.
After throwing on a robe over clothes she made her way over to Ayato’s office. He would have to find a way to deal with the fact that she would be returning to her bed immediately after. She knocked on the door of his office before letting herself in.
“You wanted me?” As much as she found herself enjoying his presence, she hoped that this would be quick.
He didn't even look up from the mountain of paperwork in front of him. "How's the situation with jeweler?" 
"Dealt with along with everyone nearby who may have seen. Ayaka's hand should be fully healed by now. I should be checking on her soon." 
"Good. Have a drink sent my way. I've seem to find myself trapped in here once again."
"We are out. Thoma is out fishing to help offset our supply till we can manage to find something bigger. If you give me 10 minutes I can go make a blood substitute." It was already on her to-do list anyway. Sleep was not to be had after all. 
"How long has he been out?"
"Not long. You'll have to wait if you want something fresh."
He placed the pen in his hand down looking up at her. "Is there any way you can actually make that substitute taste good?"
"Afraid not. Any changes to its flavor profile would ruin its ability as a substitute."
"Any other options?"
"We've been over this." It was too early or was it too late for this? Either way, she did not have the appropriate amount of sleep in her system for this. "It's to be from an animal or the substitute. What happened last month was because there was nothing near us and I couldn't make a substitute."
"Details. So we are allowed to talk about it now?" 
"I never said that we could speak on it." She looked away from Ayato. She felt hyper-aware of her wrist. Just the mention of it made the memory feel like it just happened. When she blinked it was like she could see Ayato sinking his teeth in while looking directly at her eyes trying to gauge when to stop.
It was the only time she had let someone drink from her before and the first time he had human blood. Circumstances be damned at this point. For two people struggling to maintain some sort of professionalism, it was the most intimate they had been. And they loved every second of it.
It hadn't left Y/N’s mind. Any dreams she could recall had Ayato in them. What she would never tell him is how she imagined Ayato’s teeth on her neck. It was such a crude way to think about someone who was her boss. That and she couldn't believe that she was way more into such an act than she thought would ever be.
Everything anyone told her growing up was that vampires were dangerous. Blood suckers that only looked out for themselves. If she found herself in the company of one, it was kill or be killed. Maybe the information she got was biased. Her mother had been a hunter who got herself killed by a vampire when she was young. 
"Pity. Come sit with me while I wait." It was such a simple task he had asked of her. But knowing Ayato, there had to be something more.
"Where?" It wasn’t like there was a spot in the room where she could actually sit next to him as he worked.
"The desk. You could hand me my papers as I need them." He said with such a straight face.
She sighed not even having to ask if he was serious or not. "What happened to having me check on Ayaka?" 
"That can wait. She should be resting anyway. You should keep me company. Wouldn't it be best to keep an eye on a hungry vampire?" He teased.
Y/N went over to his desk and sat down holding the pile of papers on her lap as he requested. Professionalism be damned. She sighed, "If you really were a problem, it's not like I couldn't stop you. I could have you chained down within a minute. I was raised to do just that."
"That's how you would stop me. With chains?"
"My aunt, she took me under her wing. She introduced me to this world and taught me everything she and my mom knew. And that included killing vampires. I was only talking about ways to restrain you. Summoning chains is only one of the methods."
"And if that didn't work?"
"Seal off the room. Pray that I don't have to use other restraints. Could get painful." Too many of them involved fire. Too many methods risked so much. "I'd rather not talk about anything I'd have to do to you if I'd ever had to stop you."
"Why would that be?"
"If I can't restrain you and you are still a problem, all that's left is to kill you." She looked up at the ceiling. The silence of night making itself aware. "I would prefer not to have to take your life. Honestly, it would be quite heartbreaking."
"Hm." It wasn't every day that someone who had trained to kill a vampire found that exact task heartbreaking.
"I don't think I could face Ayaka and tell her. Knowing her, I would have to be ready to kill her as well. Probably Thoma as well. You all are just too close. You've been nothing but good to me. Don't make me think such things." It was hard to be strong within her words. "If it was anyone else I could do it. But you haven't killed anyone. Most vampires I have encountered have already become serial killers. You don't deserve that same fate."
All Ayato could do was listen. Maybe he had pushed too far. He only went as far as he normally would. Maybe her boundaries weren't to be tested while she was tired. She fought tears gracefully as she imagined a life he would be sure to make not happen. It made her feel sick. She traced symbols on the desk subconsciously completely unaware that she had begun casting a spell of deception upon her appearance.
"I see every spark of humanity within you every day. To think of a day where you've lost it becoming a monster must mean I've failed along the way. You, everyone around us, and myself. If I were to have that happen I think my whole view on vampires would crash on me."
"And what's that view?"
"To be taught every single vampire is a killer and then to take a chance thinking that maybe what I learned was wrong is right would just be the worst. And if were to fail to kill you then I’d be granting you a fate worse than death." If it wasn’t her who put a stop to it then someone else would come along after who knows how long with no mercy of the situation. Archons forbid it wasn’t anyone in the estate that would have to clean up the mess she would have left behind. 
Ayato was careful in moving the papers off of her lap back onto the desk to not interrupt what she was telling him.
“It would just be awful to have to kill the man I’ve been falling in love with for the better part of the year. Just saying that must I’ve compromised my ability to work here.”
He had stood up able to meet her eyes directly now. He grabbed onto the hand that had silently casting a spell stopping it from being performed. Her face had been stained with tears showing how deeply she had meant it when she said she had been falling in love with him. How intensely these thoughts and backup plans had killed her inside. Ayato brought a hand up to her face wiping away the tears he was unable to see before.
“It must be horrible to fall in love with me if I’ve already made you cry with these thoughts.”
“I made myself cry.”
“With things I shouldn’t ask you to think of.” 
“I would have to think of them by myself anyway.” She had been since she accepted this job offer that Thoma had brought along to her.
“Don’t.”
“Don’t?”
“If it makes you so upset, don’t think of it anymore.”
“It would be irresponsible. This is irresponsible.”
“Are you any better?” Ayato’s voice was soft, and gentle almost if a pin would drop on the floor it would be too harsh against the ears.
“Why don’t we just be a little irresponsible together for once?” It was a question that pushed away all formalities. To ignore all professionalism. It was better to ignore what was wrong and focus on what felt so right. Boundaries that had been set up right to fall with a single crash.
Soft kisses on a cheek turned into kissing away tears turned into kisses on the lips. Slow and sweet as if to make up for what had happened. Apologies without words were made before becoming promises to one another. Which managed to change yet again to something more passionate with hands running up and down each other begging to be closer to each other. Before finally stopping for air leaning foreheads against one another satisfied with the outcome.
“A bit,” She sighed. “I think I’m just exhausted.”
“Exhausted? We haven’t been working you that hard have we?”
Y/N leaned as far back as she could while being held. “I was running on 3 hours of sleep and as many 10-minute naps as I could throughout this week. I think my bags have bags.”
“I guess we should get you back to bed then.”
“What happened to wanting me to keep an eye on you?”
“You could have requested a day off. I would have given it to you.”
“I know but there were things that had to get done. There are things that have to get done now. I’m already up so I might as well do them.”
His face was filled with judgment. As overworked as he was even he knew better. “Maybe it would have been better for you to have checked on Ayaka first. She’d at least lecture you about this without sounding hypocritical.”
“You aren’t wrong about that. And if it isn't her who calls us out it's only a matter of time before Thoma plans something where you are forced to sit and relax.”
She laughed for the first time in a while. Letting the joys of life take over. “It is quite nice finding people who remind you of the value of taking a break.”
“Were you not one for breaks?”
She sighed. “They weren’t encouraged. My aunt, she was nice but she was always worried about our safety. I just pray you never meet her. She may think I'm not here of my own accord.”
“Don’t think of it for now. You did enough worrying over me today.” He took some steps back pulling Y/N off of the desk. “Let’s just get you back to bed for now.”

Ffs, Don't Baby Me
CW: NSFW, Tamaki x Bakugou, hand jobs, masturbation, blow jobs, anal penetration, ass eating, begging, multiple orgasms, slight spanking Ig, you really could say either one if dom but I'd say Tamaki is the dom, and Bakugou is the sub
× × × × × ×
How did Tamaki get here? Why was Tamaki on his knees in front of Bakugou? He tried to think over the events of earlier that day, but his mind was fuzzy.
But what he DID know was god, his dick hurt. Bakugou was mean too, laughing at him. This wasn't fair, he sat there in pain, and Bakugou just sat on Tamaki's bed, watching and laughing at him.
"You're so mean," Tamaki huffed. Sure, he could... Help himself, he guessed, but it was embarrassing.
Bakugou snorted, leaning over where Tamaki sat. "I could be meaner."
"Please don't," Tamaki whispered, head down.
He heard Bakugou sighed, and lean forward to lift his head. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to. I can leave whenever, and we never have to talk about it again."
Right. Bakugou was mean and maybe unfair but he didn't have to worry about being put in a bad situation. Of course, he knew that.
Patrol. Thats how they got here. They had patrol together and- And god, Bakugou looked so good when he was demanding things of the other heroes. Unless he was yelling at him, then it became much less attractive.
But they went to the bar after. He bought Bakugou a drink and... Now they were here? He wasn't drunk, he knew that. Bakugou looked fine. There were parts of the story missing.
"Amajiki," Bakugou pulled him from his thoughts.
"Kiss me," He whispered out, looking Bakugou in the eye. "Please?"
Fortunately, Bakugou listened. He leaned forward, kissing him gently. It was weird, he was just laughing at him. He was just screaming at people. But now he was being gentle.
Tamaki doesn't have to do this. He wanted Bakugou but he wasn't sure he wanted to be babied. It felt like Bakugou was trying to... Well, baby him. He hated it.
So he pulled away and Bakugou looked at him weird. "Didn't you-"
"Why are you doing that," He asked, voice suddenly not shaky and hard, like he was offended.
Now Bakugou was confused. He was taking things slower, he didn't want to scare the guy away! Now he seemed upset, even though he kissed him like he asked. What did he do wrong?
"You told me to-"
"You suck at this," Tamaki looked him up and down.
Bakugou blinked. "Excuse me?"
Tamaki stood up, and Bakugou figured it was done. Which was fine, he guessed. But what the hell did he do wrong? And he did not suck! He was great, many people have told him so!
Then Tamaki's hand was twisting in his shirt and pushibg him back on the bed, as Tamaki straddled him. If it was anyone else, in any other circumstance, he would've blown them up.
But Tamaki looked pretty good right now so he'll let it slide.
"Why'd you get all soft on me," Tamaki asked, his voice not exactly the same dominant demeanor his stance was giving off.
Bakugou didn't exactly know how to answer the question. "I just thought you would've liked it better-"
"Did I say I would like it better," Tamaki's voice was getting confused.
Bakugou wanted to scoff. He wanted to throw Tamaki off of him and go back to treating him roughly. But maybe this would lead to somewhere good.
"Well- No, but-"
"So you just assumed I would want to be, what, babied," Tamaki was the one to scoff, almsot as if he was disgusted.
"I wasn't babying-"
"Have you ever dommed someone," Tamaki asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Have you," Bakugou dared to challenge.
"I'll take that as a no," Tamaki ignored the challenge. "Why start with me? Think I would just take it? Why?"
"I never said any of that," Bakugou rolled his eyes, but looked back up to Tamaki quickly when the hand that was still in his shirt, moved to his neck. "I've- I've dommed someone! Okay, jesus."
"But you like my hand here," Tamaki question, hand tightening just for a second.
Bakugou could easily flip them and take control back. He swears he could. But Tamaki's hard on was right against his, and it messed with his mind.
Thats the only reason why.
"No," Real convincing.
Tamaki stared down at him, the pulled his hand back with a shrug. "Then you can leave."
The blonde watched Tamaki get off of him, jaw dropping. "What?!"
Tamaki just shrugged again. "You said you didn't like it," Where was this confidence when a villain was calling him a whore earlier?
Oh.
Bakugou didn't want to say it! No, no way. He wasn't saying he liked being choked. Because he didn't! Obviously!
"Choke me," WHAT WAS HE DOING?!
Tamaki hummed. "What?"
This dick. "Please choke me," This is pathetic. God, he hopes Tamaki doesn't tell anyone about this.
But he had to. He's been having these damn fantasies about having sex with Tamaki for months. He wasn't going to risk losing this opportunity just because Tamaki got dominant all of the sudden.
His breathing sped up as Tamaki straddled him again, a hand going back around his neck. Tamaki's hands were calloused and cold, but god, did it seem easy for him to grab his neck.
"Like this," Tamaki asked, small smile on his face.
"Tighter," Bakugou sighed, trying to keep his hips from bumping into his. But he did when the hand did tighten, and he groaned at the feeling.
No. In his fantasies, they moved faster than this. He wanted more, he wanted more of Tamaki and now.
"Give me more," Bakugou demanded, pulled Tamaki by his arm.
"No," Tamaki smiled bigger, pulling Bakugou's hand off. "Do it yourself."
"What-"
Tamaki pulled his Bakugou's belt off with one hand like magic, and didn't bother to let either of them to move to get comfortable before he tugged his pants and boxers down until his dick was freed.
"Grab your dick," Tamaki instructed. "And jack off."
"Oh god," Bakugou whispered, hand going to push his pants down more.
One thing he could say confidently, he wasn't ashamed about his body. He was fucking hot, he knew that. But this was different. He rarely jacked off, and never in front of someone.
He felt his hand shake, but he grabbed the base of his cock slowly. He moved his hand gently, groaning and closing his eyes. His hand was dry, but he gathered up the precum that sat on the head of his cock, making the slide easier.
"Pathetic," Tamaki's voice cut him off, and he opened his eyes to look at him. Pathetic? He was just jacking off, how could he do that wrong?
Then he groaned loudly, Tamaki grabbing him roughly. It hurt, the sudden roughness of his hand, but jesus, was it nice to have Tamaki on him, even if it was just a hand.
"Yes," He nodded quickly. "Jack me off- Please Amajiki."
"Tamaki," He corrected him, moving away to open his drawer and grab a bottle of lube. "Take your clothes off and go lay on the pillows."
Bakugou didn't bother to argue, pulling his shirt off, then tugged his pants and boxers off the rest of the way. By the time he was done, Tamaki was done with the lube. So he moved up the bed quickly, Tamaki following and sitting between his legs.
"Still want this," Tamaki asked, and Bakugou noted that his voice wasn't as dominant.
"Yes, yeah Tamaki," He nodded, sitting up and kissing him. He wasn't as gentle this time. "I'm good, fuck me, alright? You can do whatever, it's okay."
Tamaki nodded. "Lay back down."
Bakugou laid back, waiting. Tamaki had one hand hold his thigh, and then the lubed one to grab his dick, again. Still, it was quite rough but the lube helped a lot.
Again, his breathing sped up. He hated to admit his face got more and more red, the faster Tamaki's hand moved. And god, did it move fast.
"Yes," Bakugou breathed out, watching Tamaki's hand grip him. "Oh fuck, yes Tamaki."
Tamaki grinned, looking down at Bakugou. "You look so good right now. You looked good today too, yelling at others to get what you want. It's too bad you couldn't bother to do it to me."
Bakugou moaned, eyes rolling back but then he laughed. "You fucking- Fucking whined when I yelled at you earlier," He breathed out.
Tamaki shrugged, focusing on the fast pace of his hand. "It's different."
"How so," Bakugou gasped, hips starting to fuck up into the hand.
"One is in front of people, and one is when you're trying to fuck me," Tamaki snorted, moving his free hand to hold Bakugou's hips down. "Hold still."
"C'mon," He groaned. "Lemme fuck you, Tamaki. I'll do it so good," He tried to convince him. He can only imagine how good Tamaki's ass would feel, if just his hand was this good.
How experienced was Tamaki? His hand moved expertly. Normally, he couldn't even jack off this fast, it was always uncomfortable. But the way his hand moved was perfect.
"Maybe," Tamaki leaned down to kiss his neck. "I bet you would suck at it though."
"HEY," Bakugou yelled, smacking his back when Tamaki started laughing, his hand stopping. "I AM A GREAT FUCK!"
"I'm sure," Tamaki nodded, moving his hand again. "Gonna prove it to me?"
"Obviously," Bakugou sighed, then dropped his head back and wrapping a hand in Tamaki's hair. "Lemme fuck you, please? Just- Please? I wanna fuck you so bad."
Tamaki noticed the way his breathing hitched, hips starting to fuck up once again. "Tell me how. How would you fuck me?"
"Oh god," Bakugou felt his stomach twist. "Bend- Bend you over, fuck you- Oh fuck," He moaned, hand gripping Tamaki's hair. "Wanna bend you over- the bed and fuck you. Watch your ass take my cock- God you would take it so good."
Tamaki grinned, when his words cut off, just moaning. "Cum, Katsuki. Cum all over my hand."
Katsuki let out a shaky moan as he came, hitting Tamaki's shirt and hand, before some landed on his own stomach. "Oh- Oh shit, Tamaki. Thank you- Thank you Tamaki."
"You're hotter like this," Tamaki threw in there, laughing again as Bakugou came down instantly, hitting him again.
"I AM ALWAYS HOT!"
Tamaki sat up, licking his hand. "You taste alright."
"STOP INSULTING ME," Bakugou kicked him, feeling proud when Tamaki groaned with a small smile.
"I haven't insulted you once," Tamaki cleared his throat. "You feeling okay?"
"Am I feeling okay," Bakugou laughed. "I haven't came that hard in... Ever."
Tamaki hummed, licking the rest of the messy cum off his hand. "Gonna fuck me?"
"If you let me."
"How about this," Tamaki grabbed the hem of his shirt, lifting it up over his head. "If you can prep me correctly, you can fuck me. Can you do that?"
Bakugou nodded quickly. "Yes, I can. Lay down," He got up, kissing Tamaki and flipping them. But regardless, he took the moment to kiss Tamaki.
Tamaki's lips were so soft, his tongue moving expertly. He didn't know Tamaki was so experienced, and it made him wonder. Maybe him and Mirio fucked around, Nejire even.
But just making out, Bakugou could guess that Tamaki's class probably wanted to have a turn with him.
Scratch that. He knew people wanted to fuck him. He was a strong hero, cute, hot, and smart. He was part of The Big Three for a reason.
"Are you just going to kiss me all night," Tamaki asked, small smirk on his face. "I mean- I won't complain but you said you want to fuck me sooo."
"Shut up," Bakugou smacked his chest, before sitting up on his knees. "Are you not okay with anything?"
Tamaki shook his head. "I'll let you know if something starts to bother me."
Bakugou nodded. He trusted that. Maybe if Tamaki was his normal, shy self at the moment, he would question whether Tamaki would tell him if something is wrong. But something was obviously up with Tamaki.
He'd ask afterwards.
He pulled Tamaki's pants and briefs off in one swipe, and threw them in some corner of the room. "Turn over."
"Make me," Tamaki chuckled. He just laughed harder when Bakugou forced him on his stomach, then pulled his ass in the air. "Excited much- Oh."
Bakugou grinned when he finally shut Tamaki up, just with his tongue. "What? Never been eaten out?"
"I- Ohh god," Tamaki moaned, Bakugou eating his ass out. No, it wasn't new to him, but he wasn't used to someone not being hesitant, at all. Though, the last time he did this sort of thing was first year at U.A., with Mirio. Everything they did was hesitant.
Bakugou felt proud that Tamaki moaned, for the first time that night. And it sounded so fucking pretty. That was the best way to describe it. Pretty.
It drove him on, to keep going on. He didn't dare to stop, hearing Tamaki's breathy moans, sometimes mumbled his name. He needed to keep hearing it. But he did need to get on with actually prepping him.
Se he grabbed the lube, and with the most speed he could, he lubed up his fingers. He sat up, and watched as Tamaki's breathing calmed down.
"Are you ready," He asked, pushing on the top of Tamaki's back, making him lay more down, ass still in the air.
"Yes," Tamaki nodded, grabbing a pillow to make himself more comfortable.
Bakugou made the smart decision not to rush this, he did not want to hurt Tamaki this far into this. Or you know, at all.
He slid his middle finger in slowly, and felt as Tamaki tightened around him before he could get to his knuckle. So he used his free hand to slowly stroke Tamaki's cock.
It seemed to help, not only letting more of those pretty moans out, but he relaxed. He took the moment to slide the rest of the finger in, and Tamaki whimpered.
"Good job," Bakugou whispered, kissing his lower back, not moving the finger but focusing on stroking his pretty cock. "You're doing so good."
"Jesus christ, Katsuki," Tamaki chuckled, then blew out a breath. "If I end up in the hospital, it's on you to explain what happened."
"Understood, but it won't happen," He moved his finger slowly, in and out. "Do you do this often? You're so tight."
"Of course not," Tamaki snorted. "It's been months. Give me a break here."
"Take as long as you need," Bakugou hummed, leaning up to kiss his shoulder blade.
"Give me another," Tamaki turned his head to kiss him. "I'm good."
Bakugou slid his finger out, and slowly slid the second one in along with the first. He stopped when Tamaki tightened on him again, with a small noise. He couldn't find the best word for the noise, but it wasn't a good one.
Okay, so a little slower. God, Tamaki was so tight. He would be worried if he could fit if he didn't know better. And Tamaki knew himself better than anyone knew him, so he was sure Tamaki would really tell him what to do if they got to that point.
"Keep- shit," Tamaki moaned when Bakugou twisted his wrist at the head of his dick. "Keep uhm- eating me out. It'll help."
Who was Katsuki to argue?
Tamaki didn't know if that was actually true, but the thought of it was fun so why not see if Katsuki would listen to him? And he did.
He moaned as Bakugou's tongue joined his fingers, just as the fingers started fucking in and out of him. "Oh fuck- Yes Katsuki. Good- Oh it feels good."
Bakugou felt pride fill his chest again. He was doing a good job, he was pleasing Tamaki. But of course he was, he was the best at making people feel good! He knew that!
Hearing it come from Tamaki's mouth though? It was hot, and he felt his face turn red again, as if it actually ever stopped.
"Oh yes," Tamaki moaned loudly when another finger slid inside him. Bakugou had a steady pace of hitting his prostate.
There was a few minutes of this, of Tamaki moaning out while Bakugou focused on stretching him out. He needed to do a good job, he needed to fuck Tamaki right now.
"Just fuck me," Tamaki groaned, moving his ass away. "I'm fine, just be slow and fuck me."
"I know what to do," Bakugou smirked, listening to Tamaki's whiney voice. He wondered if he was back to how he was before this actually started, all shy and embarrassed.
Bakugou adjusted them as he needed, then lined up with Tamaki's ass. "Read-"
"Hurry up," Tamaki whined, pushing back. Bakugou laughed, but listened.
He moved slowly, taking a moment after just the head of his cock breached Tamaki.
"I said hurry up," Tamaki groaned, and Bakugou chuckled.
"Don't wanna hurt you," Bakugou leaned forward to kiss Tamaki's spine, also sliding more in.
Tamaki... The little shit, slammed back. Bakugou moaned at the move, but also grabbed Tamaki's hip so he wouldn't move. "You-"
"Fuck me properly," Tamaki moaned, reaching back to also grab Bakugou's hip, but was trying to direct him. "Make me come like a good little fuck, don't just sit there. Fuck me."
"Shit," Bakugou huffed, pulling his hips back and driving them back in.
"Yes," Tamaki immediately yelled, driving his hips back. "Faster!"
Bakugou was a dead man.
Tamaki grunted when Bakugou pulled out, but his hips were soon being pushed into the bed. "You're so slow."
"Why don't you shut up," Bakugou huffed, pinning Tamaki's hips down and spreading his legs, giving him the perfect angle to fuck him, hopefully into silence.
"Oh god," Tamaki whined when Bakugou slammed in again, and started fucking him rapidly. "Yes! Fuck- Yes, just like that!"
This is what he wanted, yes. He knew Bakugou could fuck him like this- And-
Oh. He was the one who asked Bakugou to fuck him. Now he remembers. And Bakugou dragged him back to his place until he was more sober. Huh.
A smack pulled him out of his thoughts, one that landed right on his ass. He moaned Bakugou's name, trying to snap his hips back but Bakugou held him down tight.
"Yes, yes, yes," Bakugou listened to Tamaki moan, almost in a trance. The way he chanted how good he was doing, the way he fucking yelled out for more.
He would be questioning this a lot more if he wasn't enjoying this. Enjoying Tamaki's ass around him, the goddamn begs and moans that fell out- Jesus, it was a lot.
"Katsuki," Tamaki whined. "Gonna- Let me come, please," He begged, hand going to move under him but Bakugou was holding him too tight.
Bakugou groaned, pulling out to flip Tamaki on his back, before sliding back into him just as roughly. Now he had the sight of Tamaki's eyes rolling back, and hand jacking his own cock off just like he did with Bakugou's.
"Come for me," Bakugou whispered, then kissed Tamaki. He welcomes the moans that fell into his mouth, then the whines and the hand that wrapped around his back and left a stinging scratch.
"Yes, good boy," Bakugou groaned out as Tamaki tightened on him, and he fought not to come along with Tamaki, just kissing Tamaki's neck as he fought to breathe properly.
"Come in me," Tamaki whined out. "Please? Please Katsuki- Come inside me."
"Shit," Bakugou swore for what felt like the hundredth time that night, hips pulling back to slam back into Tamaki.
His jaw dropped at the noises that Tamaki made, somehow even hotter than when he was coming. He needed to come, he was gonna come inside of Tamaki. Fuck, he hoped Tamaki wouldn't try and hide after this.
"Yes, come in me, c'mon Katsuki," Tamaki drove him on, nails digging in his back.
"Fuck," Katsuki moaned as he came, Tamaki tightening on him again. It took him a few moments before he was collapsing on Tamaki.
Clean up. They needed to clean up, and Tamaki looked fucked out. Bakugou sat up, and pulled out carefully, almost wincing at Tamaki's whine, that didn't sound so much like pleasure this time around.
"C'mon," Bakugou took a deep breath, slowly rubbing a hand down Tamaki's leg. "Let's go clean up."
"Water," Tamaki practically croaked out, and Bakugou nodded.
"Yeah, okay. I'll be right back," He stood off the bed, finding his pants and making his way into Tamaki's kitchen to get a bottle of water.
When he arrived back, Tamaki was sat up, looking almost shaky. Okay, so yeah, this might take a minute.
He sat by him, handing him the water. "You feeling okay?"
Tamaki nodded and he sighed. But he at least drank the water.
"Let's go get cleaned up," Bakugou offered his hand and he took it as a good sign when Tamaki took it.
Okay. How does he do any of this without sending Tamaki into a panic attack? The same guy who almost had a panic attack when the bartender messed up his order.
Hes great at everything, he can do this.
He stood up with Tamaki, taking him to the bathroom and started a shower. Tamaki just stood there, head down and arms crossed over his chest.
"Okay, Tamaki," Bakugou sighed, pulling Tamaki to look at him. "Did I do something wrong? You changed so suddenly here and I want to make sure you were actually okay with everything we did."
Tamaki gave him a confused look. "Did it sound like I wasn't liking it or..."
Bakugou sighed at that. Thank god.
"I'm just... I'm tired and I'm sore," Tamaki tried to explain, not wanting to get in the deep details of it.
"Okay," Bakugou nodded. "Then c'mon, let's take a shower and go to sleep afterwards."
Tamaki agreed, following him in the shower after he stripped of his pants once again. He was honestly shocked how gentle Bakugou got, making sure he was comfortable while helping clean him.
"Stop squirming," Tamaki yelped when Bakugou turned him facing the wall. "Are you into being hurt or something? You look sore as hell back here."
Tamaki's face burned. "Stop looking," He swatted at Bakugou's hands. "Obviously I am."
Bakugou hummed at that, hands moving to Tamaki's hips. He doesn't remember holding him tight enough to bruise but they were there.
"Are you sure you're okay," Bakugou asked. He was still bothered by it all, how quick Tamaki switched multiple times.
"I'm fine," Tamaki nodded, turning around. "What's wrong?"
"You switched up really quick there," Bakugou cleared his throat, trying to speak above the running water. "It was just sudden. I didn't want to... Make you feel weird, I guess."
Tamaki stared at him for a second. "It's... It's not like that. I just didn't like the way you were babying me like that. I hate it when people do that to me."
"I wasn't babying you," Bakugou sighed. "I just didn't want to scare you into making me leave. Besides, being more gentle doesn't mean I was babying you anyway."
Tamaki shrugged, uncomfortably. "It felt like you were."
"I don't baby people," Bakugou practically scoffed.
"Okay," Tamaki looked away, not fully believing him.
Bakugou sighed, and felt like he wasn't going to get too far with just repeatedly telling him that no, he was not babying him.
Tamaki gasped Bakugou grabbed his face, and kissed him. But he kissed back, his hands wrapping around Bakugou's shoulders as hands held his waist.
"Did that feel like I was babying you," Bakugou asked, after pulling away. Tamaki went to shake his head but Bakugou was dropping to his knees, face being covered in water.
"Baku-"
"It's Katsuki," Bakugou practically breathed out, kissing Tamaki's thigh. "You think everything done gentle is babying you, yeah?"
Tamaki didn't know what to say, and felt his face burn when his saw his dick get harder. Why did Bakugou have to be so close? "Yea- yeah, I guess."
"You're wrong," Bakugou loved saying that to people, especially right now.
Tamaki bit back a whine when Bakugou kissed his half hard dick. "Katsuki- Please."
"Tell me," Bakugou took Tamaki's hand, holding it. "Tell me what you want."
Tamaki hesitated, but knowing what he pulled on Bakugou earlier, he figured he would have to say it, to get it.
"Please," Tamaki tried first.
Bakugou shook his head, kissing across Tamaki's stomach. "Say it, Tamaki. C'mon."
"Please," Tamaki repeated. "Please suck- Oh god," He felt his throat close up. "Please suck my dick. Please suck me off, Katsuki. I need it."
"Good boy," Bakugou smiled, before dragging his tongue over Tamaki's dick. He heard Tamaki whine, then watched him cover his mouth.
He pulled his hand from his mouth, holding it in place as he sucked on the head of Tamaki's dick gently. Their eyes met and he moved his mouth farther, careful to not choke himself.
"Be careful," Tamaki whispered, just above the running water.
Bakugou hummed, circling his tongue around Tamaki's dick, then relaxed his throat to take more of him in. He saw Tamaki's stomach tense, and his hips buck back against the shower wall.
He dragged Tamaki's hand to the back of his head, then pushed on it, showing him what he wanted.
"What if I hurt you," Tamaki asked, and Bakugou pulled off to both get a breath, and talk.
"You won't," He shook his head. "If you do, I'll let you know. But I'm tougher than that."
"Cocky as always," Tamaki huffed, but held onto Bakugou's hair with a loose grip. He gulped when Bakugou took his dick back in his mouth, then looked up to him.
He pulled Bakugou's head back just a bit, before pulling him closer. He was slow, afraid something would go wrong.
He groaned as Bakugou's mouth took his dick so easily. "Oh god."
He started a slow pace, moving Bakugou's head about halfway down his cock. He wasn't sure if it was enough to come but it felt good so he didn't mind.
Bakugou pulled off and glared up at Tamaji. "Fuck my face Tamaki. I want you to come in ny throat, fuck my face."
"I can't," Tamaki shook his head.
"Yes you can," Bakugou kissed Tamaki's stomach. "Please Tamaki, I want you fuck my throat. Grab my hair and shove me on your cock, gag me, please."
"Holy shit," Tamaki whispered. "Promise me you'll tell me if you need a break."
"I promise," Bakugou nodded, then settled his mouth back on Tamaki's cock.
Tamaki groaned, grabbing Bakugou's hair roughly. He pulled Bakugou's face to him until Bakugou's nose was pressed up against him. Bakugou gagged instantly, but didn't move
Tamaki held him in place for a moment, before pulling his head back and pulling him forward roughly. He moaned, setting a quick pace.
Bakugou looked up at Tamaki with teary eyes, and Tamaki eyed the way Bakugou's eyes flinched closed everytime he hit the back of his throat. And Bakugou just kept sucking, the best he could anyway.
"Ye- yes, fuck," Tamaki moaned, dropping his head back. "Fuck, oh my god- You feel so good."
Bakugou groaned, closing his eyes. Keep it together, Katsuki. Stay in control here.
He yelped around Tamaki's cock when they were flipped, and he was sat on the floor of the shower and his back was pressed up against the wall, where Tamaki stood before.
He coughed as Tamaki held him in place, fucking his throat roughly. He reached down to grab his own cock that started to hurt.
"Good boy," Tamaki huffed, smile on his face.
Bakugou moaned against Tamaki's cock, hand pulling at his own roughly, mimicking Tamaki's earlier movements. He wasn't too worried about it though, focusing on the cock that repeatedly slid in and out of his throat.
"Ah fuck," Tamaki moaned. He was close. "Stand up," He pulled out of Bakugou quickly.
Bakugou let go of his dick to stand up, but Tamaki kept him against the wall. He took the kiss that was roughly pushed upon him.
Tamaki grabbed both of their cocks to jack them off quickly. Bakugou moaned in his mouth, holding his bicep, and wrapping his free arm around his neck.
It didn't take long for either of them to come, all if it being washed away in the stream of water instantly.
"Fuck," Bakugou whined, holding onto Tamaki with a tight hold. Holy shit, this was a good night.
Tamaki held onto Bakugou, keeping him from slipping. Now he seemed pretty fucked out.
"C'mon," Tamaki held him as he moved him directly under the warm water.
Bakugou ignored the fact he failed to get his previous point across. No, he didn't FAIL! He would just have to try again later that week.

AS SAID BY MERRILL  *  assorted dialogue from dragon age ii
hello! i'll be your distraction! you can't hit me!
oh dear, get ready for more trouble.
have i ever mentioned i like your coat?
can i get you something to eat or drink? i have... water.
i fell off the pier once. the harbor is really deep.
do you think we could go swimming later?
someone spilled ale in here.
you really believe that, don't you?
everything i did, i did for them!
be careful what you believe in.
i hardly think you're one to criticize.
i'll find something relatively clean for you to sit on.
everyone is staring at me.
did i ask you?
we have our own stories. i don't need to borrow yours.
things are about to get exciting.
what right do you have to question us?
why doesn't anyone ever want to be nice to us?
we're about to be attacked!
it's not surprising at all that anybody would love you.
i was always... a bit secluded.
if you never made mistakes, it wouldn't matter if you believed.
i'm sorry, i can't do anymore.
it's awfully noisy in here.
why does it always smell like cabbage here?
is that your house?
why are you smiling?
why don't you arrest us?
if i had any other choices, i'd take them.
stop it. you're scaring me.
ugh, this tastes terrible.
go on, i'll catch up!
ooh, ooh, it's something dirty, isn't it? tell me, tell me!
someone's laying traps.
are you jealous?
you look uncomfortable.
oh, that's good too, but i was hoping for something dirty.
you're very quiet today. is something wrong?
have i mentioned that i don't really like it here?
i think i stepped in something.
you could get another cat, you know.
i haven't exactly made many friends.
i came in and watered your plants.
how do i learn it, then?
it's not my fight.
you've spent too much time being grumpy. it's a nice change.
it's a pretty evening, don't you agree?
i think we'd better get ready to fight.
nobody seems to like you. do you get used to that?
i'm a little overwhelmed here!
the act of lovemaking is so... intimate.
are you all right?
why do you even like me? i must seem so dull.
i was so sick on our trip across the sea.
i'm not exactly sure why we keep coming here.
could somebody help me with this, please?
oh, i can't hit that! it's much too far!
you've had many lovers, haven't you?
i've got an idea! get over here!
you sort of swagger when you walk. i've been trying, but i trip over my own feet when i do it.
i wish i had your life.
what? did i miss something?
i'm not that foolish. our relationship is strictly platonic.
you brought this on yourself!
you know, i think they were really trying to kill us.
is everyone all right?
what have i done to you now?
you keep looking at them with sad puppy eyes every time their back is turned.
i'd like to hear them sometime, if you don't mind.
i think it's over. do you think it's over?
i really think we need a new plan?
could we perhaps do battle with a pack of pretty flowers or soft bunnies next time?
if you don't believe in me either, i won't mind.
that didn't go quite like i thought it would.
i've got so many bruises now, they've got names and families.
you're very kind. thank you.
even you can be happy once in a while. it won't kill you, but your face might crack if you smile, so be careful.
you're in love!
this is going very badly!
just wondering why you're so cross all the time.
did i say something wrong again?
i'm the stupid one? whatever.
that can't be true.
do you regret it?
i think he's broken the thing he wanted to save.
would you truly turn your back on your own history?
do you like crowded cities better?
there are many things i wish i could undo.
and you're so cute when you're with him.
it could fall on someone, but you'd have to push it really hard. it's quite heavy.
we're not all like him.
don't you care about the plight of our people? not even a little bit?
you'll protect them, though. it's what you do.
maybe i'll borrow yours sometime, if that's all right.
everything affects everything.
it's impossible to talk to you.
simple is good. it sneaks up on you, makes you smile.
it feels like something is ending, doesn't it?
i've lived there for years. i see it firsthand.
it's just a precaution. nothing will go wrong.
did i miss something dirty?
did you step on something sharp?
how did you learn swording?
i said something wrong again, didn't i? maybe i'll just stop talking.
are you talking to me?

I hate that I love you
Nyx Acheron x Eris’ daughter!Reader 
Words: about 2.4k words 
Warning: a bit of smut but more talking about sexy times
Author’s note: HI love! I had this idea about Nyx and I really wanted to write this down, hope you like it. I want to dedicate this to @b7717 , always so sweet with me and she helped me putting ideas down for this story.  I took inspiration from “Boyfriend” of Dove Cameron. 
p.s. I think I’ll post a second part of this, because I feel like it isn’t finished like this

Nyx playlist (yes I made a playlist about him, I'm crazy I know🙃)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You never liked dances, yet here you are, shining like the flame that burns in the deepest darkness and as powerful as the fire that burns whole cities.
A few weeks ago you received a letter where Lenox, the son of the High Lord of the Summer Court, invited you to his birthday party. You were very happy about this invitation, and even your father Eris could not help but be delighted and promise to accompany you to the party. You did not like the dances, however: too many people in a place too small to contain them, the music too loud and people shouting to be heard over the music and the general general commotion, in addition to the horrible discussions to be had with the various members of the Courts.
Another reason why you are not comfortable in this place is the presence of the son of the High Lord and High Lady of the Night Court, Nyx, or rather the "pompous playboy who thinks he is better than everyone else."
When you were little you also got along very well, so much so that your father and Nyx had begun to be more civil to each other so that problems from the past would not interfere with their children; but as he grew up he became a snooty young man who thinks he is better than others and who believes that all girls fall at his feet with one word from him. Gradually you have begun to drift apart until you move on to insulting each other every time you see each other, in fact they generally try to keep you apart because they know you will end up beating each other up, and as you have shown several times you would win and kick the night prince's ass.
Back at the party, you finally managed to escape from the clutches of an obnoxious lady from the Spring Court. That woman had managed to send you into a rage with a few simple questions including why you didn't have a husband and children yet and whether you intended to take your father's place in the future, and when at the last you answered yes, she indignantly went on to explain that a woman should only think about her husband and children and not about ruling and power because that is the job of men. At those words you felt the fire of your family burning powerfully in your veins before you smiled and cursed her and left. Your father through it all was laughing at the scene in front of him, letting you do and say what you wanted knowing that you would manage perfectly well on your own without his help.
"Dad, I'm going to get something to drink. I'll be right back." You say looking at your father, he smiles and nods, so you head to the drinks table and drink a glass of wine. You're standing there deciding whether to get a second one that you hear the most obnoxious voice ever.
"Look who shows up here. How long has it been since we've seen each other Foxy?" Says Nyx flanking you as he too takes a glass of wine. You can't help but roll your eyes and pray he would leave quickly.
"Too little time. I was really hoping not to see you again, at least in this lifetime." You reply, trying to move away, but he, like the flies that buzz around just to annoy, stays glued to you.
"Oh come on Foxy, we both know you missed me." He whispers in your ear in a seductive tone.
"How I miss daggers stuck in my eyes." You exclaim sarcastically as you turn to look at him. You can't help but mentally beat yourself up for finding him so damn attractive. Nyx Acheron has always had an indescribable charm with his violet eyes and well-delineated facial features, and because of that he has always bragged believing he could get any woman he wanted and that has always bothered you a lot, but at the same time you can't help but notice his beauty.
"Do you like what you see honey?" He says with a grin, noticing the intensity of your gaze as you look at him. All you can do is shift your eyes, blushing slightly.
"More than anything, I was thinking about how to divide and hide the various parts of your body once I kill you, so that they can't find you." You answer before smiling at him. "Now if you don't mind, at your highness, I must go to my father, who will be looking for me." You continue with a mock smile on your lips and a half bow, before turning and going back the way you came.
"What took you so long?" Your father asks once you return to him.
"I met Nyx on the street and he obviously had to be an asshole." You answer a little too loudly, so much so that some people turn to look at you. Your father gives a cough and takes you a little further away from them.
"Try to restrain yourself a little my dear, you know how these nobles are, always looking for gossip." Your father continues in a low voice.
"Fuck decorum, that guy makes me mad every time." You say, as smoke seems to come out of your ears, and a hot flush rises all over your body. You think back to those damn purple eyes and curse yourself for wanting his hands on your body. Your father seems to read your mind.
"You know the line between love and hate is very thin, my dear, it often happens that we misunderstand which way we tend to fall." Says your father, smiling, as he hangs your face in his hands and places a kiss on your forehead. "Understand early which way you are going to fall, and let go without fear in case it is the one you don't expect. Fate may surprise you."
---------------------------------------------------------
You're bored out of your mind, and you can't help but let your gaze wander down the hall until you meet the eyes of the Prince of the Night, already fixed on you.
Instinctively you are reminded of your father's words, said just before, and you look away, confused by your feelings. First you thought it was sexual attraction, but what if there was more to it. As you think this and do not allow yourself to go any further, afraid of the response you might get. You see him out of the corner of your 'eye approaching you, but someone is faster than you.
"Would you do me the honor of this dance?" Asks the boy who had approached you without your noticing. He is none other than Calian, the son of the general of the Winter Court, who smiles at you and holds out his hand. You've known him all your life, too, and he's never been anything but kind and polite, as any boy should be, and you know that he's always had a soft spot for you, but you've never made it a point to let him feel that way.
Without answering, you smile back at him and take his hand, and together you go to the dance floor. You dance the whole song in silence, his hands resting on your hips with a light, gentle touch, but you feel that gesture is wrong, that his hands are not the ones you wish to be brushed against you. You feel someone's eyes glued on you, and between the twirls you glimpse that the eyes of the Sovereign of Dreams are resting on you, as an immense rage and power emanates from him like an expanding storm, ready to make lightning and thunderbolts at any moment. Once the dance is over you bow to Calian and feel a hand encircle your wrist, and all you can do is turn around. You see him in all his Nyx glory, with the stars of the night blazing in his gaze, gazing into yours that recall those of your Court. You do not realize that you have been staring at each other, saying nothing, until Calian gives a cough, and suddenly you both turn around. You see the young man laugh under his mustache, first leaving, not without first commenting.
"You better be careful Nyx, the girl has fire burning in her, you might get burned." He says chuckling, then adds. "I'll leave you to your looks. See you later my dear." He continues by kissing your hand. "Nyx."
The Prince of the Night does not respond, just makes a growl and then turns to you.
"May I have this dance?" He asks hastily, but you don't even have time to answer that he has already dragged you onto the dance floor. His hands rest gently on your hips, but his fingers cling to your dress as if they need to be certain that you are there with him. His arms and his warmth wrap around you and you feel the need to lean against his chest. Your and his eyes never stop looking at each other for a second, as if they were linked with an invisible chain. Your feet move on their own, and after what seems like an eternity, you stop dancing since the song is over, but your gaze does not fall.
"I...I need to talk to you." Says the serious boy, dragging you out of the room to a balcony overlooking a beautiful gulf. From here the party music is far away, and there doesn't seem to be a soul in sight.
"What do you have to tell me?" You ask pretending to be pissed off, so as not to give away that your body is betraying you. Every fiber, every cell in your body right now is screaming to get close to him and hold him to you, but you hold back.
"What's between you and Calion?" He asks in a tone as angry as thunder from the storm in the darkest night.
"What do you care bat? Even if I was going to marry him or take him to bed you don't have to care, it's my life and I decide what I want to do." You say in a harsh, authoritative tone as you look at him.
You get so close that your breaths become confused and before you can really understand what is happening your lips join in a passionate kiss. Your tongues entwine and try hard to overpower one another. Your hands immediately go to his hair, tugging lightly at it and making him moan with pleasure; while his hands go from holding your face to caressing your breasts and later to resting on your hips, pulling you closer to him. The kiss gradually becomes more passionate, until he brings you to have your back against the wall. His mouth moves on to torment your neck, leaving clear signs of his passage. For a long time you are silent, the only sounds are your repressed moans of pleasure so as not to give satisfaction to the other, until he lets out with a growl a phrase laden with jealousy.
"I can be a lover a thousand times better than any guy you've ever slept with princess, all you have to do is ask nicely. I'm sure I could do shit they never did, all night long, without giving up." He says whispering beside your ear, interrupting the talk with a few kisses. "What's more, I can be a gentleman, too. What do you have to lose?"
"Words, words, words. I need star facts before I can say whether a horse is thoroughbred or not dear." You comment, reciprocating with the same coin, leaving a bite at the base of his neck. You feel his muscles tense and a groan escapes his mouth.
"Sometimes I really hate that I love you know Foxy. You drive me so crazy that I don't know whether I'm about to fuck you so hard that even on the continent they will learn my name by hearing your moans, or keep myself from plugging you." He responds by stroking your face.
"Believe me, the feeling is reciprocated Starlet." You say with a grin.
Interrupting this moment is the voice of Nyx's cousin Hecate, a.k.a. the daughter of Nesta and General Cassian, and as much as she may be your friend, for a moment you curse her for interrupting you, leaving you wanting for this asshole.
"Nyx, where the fuck are you!" The girl asks aloud, stepping into the balcony. In the meantime we had split up, but it was obvious from the way we looked in our hair, clothes and various signs what we were doing. "Oh." The girl continues, looking at us with that obnoxious little smile. You give her the middle finger and the gesture makes Nyx laugh with gusto.
"What do you want Hec?" The boy asks, returning to why she is here.
"Uncle Rhys is looking for you, he certainly had no idea you were so busy." She comments.
"Okay, I think that's enough Hec." He stops her. "Go ahead, I'll follow you."
Hecate nods and leaves us alone for a moment.
"I have to go Foxy, but don't think this is the end of it, after all I am a man of my word." Says Nyx winking at me before walking away and following her cousin, not before leaving a kiss on my cheek.
You can't help but mentally slap yourself for falling into the playboy's mind, but then you remember your father's words and for a moment think about how true the line between love and hate is thin, and you really find yourself wondering if you hadn't misunderstood whose side you were on.
That boy is going to kill you, you are sure of it, as long as you are not the one to do it.

Helpless part 13 (Hello I hope someone is listening)
"Morning Death boy."
"What time is it?"
"Eight o'clock I the morning."
"Goodnight Giraffe."
"Get up, we're getting breakfast."
"Let me sleep."
"Nope." Nico was refusing to get up so Will decided to do the only logical thing and pick him up.
"Put me down Solace."
"Don't think I will Death breath."
"That's a new one."
"Thought of it on the spot."
"Good for you Sunshine, now put me down."
"Not a fan of that idea." Will ran, carrying a very pissed Nico. "Hey Percy."
"Hi Will, should I ask why you're carrying Nico and also how you haven't gotten murdered yet?"
"Well he wouldn't get up so it was to only logical solution."
"Fuck you." Nico muttered,
"I wish you luck on not getting murdered."
"You know I could just shadow travel away?"
"No you quite literally can not, it would kill you."
"Great."
"Neeks."
"Do you have a death wish Will?"
"He's harmless."
"I have killed people William."
"I can confirm this, I was nearly a victim."
"Let's not forget you also tired to kill me."
"Why are you two trying to kill each other?"
"We don't talk about that."
"He's annoying as fuck." Percy and Nico said at the same time, locking eyes with each other, leading to a mildly concerned Will.
"Okay.... I'm going to pretend this never happen." Will placed Nico on the floor.
"Finally."
"Di Angelo, me and Jason-"
"-Jason and I."
"Not you to, same thing. We have decided to kidnap you, you're finally joining us on the big three table."
"Why exactly?"
"You'll get lonely."
"I'm perfectly fine being alone."
"Too bad, sucks for you."
"Stronzo." Nico muttered under his breath before waking off to join Jason, Percy went to follow him but Will pulled him back.
"Make sure he eats three full meals a day, shove it down his throat if you have to. I'm not joking, if he's refusing to eat or drink hold him down and make sure he eats for the next few months. I don't know how he's still alive at this point."
"I'll make sure he eats; mate you alright? Your eyes are bloodshot, when's the last time you slept?"
"A few days ago, I'm fine."
"A few days?! Mate, you need to sleep."
"I'll survive, pure chaos in the infirmary. Oh, don't tell Nico this but, you know how Aphrodite kids can speak French because it's the language of love? I can speak Itallian because it's the language of music, so if you were wondering, when he walked off he called you an asshole."
"Eh, not surprising. I'll catch you around Will."
"Yeah see you round." Willl walked off to join his siblings at the Apollo table.
***
"Don't think we didn't hear that, you're taking today off and no night watch until Tuesday." Kayla said pulling Will down and shoving a piece of toast in his hand, "And you're eating breakfast today, you've skipped it for a week."
"I've been busy."
"Would you like me to show you a list of every single person you've told to stop skipping meals? Let me start the list, Nico, Selina, Leo, Beckendorf, Annabeth, Michael-"
"Okay, okay you win. But I can't take the day off-"
"Not optional, go pine over Nico for the day or something. Maybe even, you know, sleep? Can't remember the last time you did that, more than a week."
"Oh shut up."
"Actually, I have a great idea." Austin interrupted, "Go talk to Cecil and Lou Ellen, they tired to kidnap you many, many times."
"Shit, yeah I should probably go talk to them." Will tried to get up but was held down by his younger siblings,
"Not so fast, you're still eating breakfast." After being force fed three full plates and swearing on the river of Styx that he would get eight hours of sleep that night he was finally allowed to leave.
***
"Finally, we missed you. We've been waiting for you to get off work for the past week." Lou Ellen said punching him in the arm.
"I should probably tell my siblings the kidnapping's off..."
"The what?!"
"Well me and Cecil tried, but Kayla found out we were coming and stopped us."
"So then I thought if I got the rest of the Hermes kids in on it they couldn't stop all of us."
"Of course you did."
"Well you're always in the infirmary."
"I've been busy for a few days, that's all."
"Well I know you haven't slept properly for the last eight days, and that you always insist on taking night watch."
"And anything difficult, and Nico."
"So? I'm fine, just busy."
"You're overworking."
"No I'm not."
"Will when was the last time you took a break?"
"Last year, Michael and Lee's funeral, I took half a day off."
"You can't do that to yourself."
"I can't let Kayla and Austin burn themselves out."
"Gods, I can't do this right now. I'm going to trust your siblings to talk some sense into you; want to go steal something?"
"I'm down, we just need to be back by three. In time for the thing." Lou Ellen smirked,
"Ohh rightttt."
"What did you do?!"
"You'll find out Sun boy."
"I'm scared."
"You should be."
***
_______
I wonder, if nobody is listening to my voice. Am I making any sound at all?
I hope you're prepared for what's coming soon.

bro it makes me so mad how ppl say sean didn’t need a break after getting recused by the bounty hunters becuz he got a party but whats ur opinions on it???
Obviously, I think way too much about Sean, and read very much into a lot of smaller things when it comes to him. I imagine the people who say Sean didn't need a break after his rescue would think I read too much into his character, and I may perhaps even be hit with a 'its not that deep bro', but that has never really stopped me, lol.
And I will wholeheartedly disagree with those who say he did not need a break. I think believing that, taking this aspect at face value, is disregarding one of the game's strongest points; environmental storytelling. A lot of what we learn about the gang members in this game, is through just hanging out at camp. Not only do you get to be privy to scenes and interactions that tell us about the interpersonal dynamics, but the characters also have daily routines and habits that tell you things about them!
And see, in Horseshoe, sometimes Sean walks funny at camp even without having had anything to drink ahead of time. You could read this as a bug but I personally think there's a more obvious reason behind it. He's quick to sit down or lean against things, during his shifts on watch AND otherwise. Other people here on tumblr have pointed out how he barely eats, or clearly struggles to.
Now consider what Sean actually TELLS us, in his rescue mission. He had his teeth pulled, his feet burned. And I don't know about you, but that sure does sound like things that would leave a mark - not necessarily a visible one, but one that would affect behavior, because pain does.
When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I was on painkillers for days after. I also had one done at a time, so that I could use the opposite side of my mouth to chew my food while one side healed, and I still struggled to eat.
Do you think Sean was shown the same courtesy?
He has a front tooth missing - in what world is eating comfortable? Do you think he has the strength, then, to be up on his feet all the time? Feet which, most likely, are still healing from being burned??? Like, what is the logic in taking Sean being fine at face value, here?? Do we actually believe Dutch is a good and competent leader, now?!?
And like, I'll say it, Sean 100% played down what he'd been through. I could go on at length about my thoughts about the reasons why, as pertaining to the role he performs in the gang, excitement and relief and adrenaline about being free again, not wanting to appear weak, etc etc. But I also do think, then, that it's almost a little bit silly to not extend him the same courtesy as we do many of the other characters of this game, and consider what this experience might actually have been like for him.
Sean, Arthur, and Javier were all kidnapped and tortured. All three of them. And they all had it real fucking bad. Can we, like, let ourselves sit with that for a moment? And acknowledge that Sean had it just as bad as the other two??
He was also stuck in that situation for the longest!!! At least two fucking weeks, minimum, while Javier and Arthur's experiences were for -- two to four days?
The difference is of course that Arthur and Javier both had their experiences shown on screen, and they both got to rest afterwards.
Sorry, that was a bit of a tangent, back to the party thing.
Ultimately, Sean is given a party because the gang needs a party. They are still recovering after Blackwater and Colter; they are in dire need of levity and fun, which is given through something to celebrate. They need a distraction. These are the things which Sean performs and gives the gang; the party isn't even really for him; it's for what he represents, and what his return represents. The party isn't what he needs, and he sure as hell was not well enough to just jump back into action.
What he needs, what he should have had, is a break after the shit he went through. He wasn't given permission for that though, not from their leader and not socially from anyone else, and furthermore he didn't really give himself permission for it. You have to do his rescue mission before pouring forth oil, because the second Sean is back, he's looking for jobs, and he wants in on the train robbery.
He's working, immediately.
(The fact that people actually believe him lazy just because he doesn't do as much as Arthur, the gang's workhorse, after returning from being held and tortured by bounty hunters, is insane to me. Yall are gonna believe Arthur about that?? According to him, all the guys in camp save Charles are lazy!)
Idk, what I find the strangest about takes like these is like... Most of the other characters are worthy of discussion, analysis, and discourse. But - not even the game, but characters in the game, who show themselves to have their own faults and prejudices as well - tell us Sean is lazy and easy-going and fun and that's all he is, and we believe it? Where did the critical thinking go??

i miss you, im sorry ft. quinn hughes
pt 1
Tumblr media
Do you remember happy together? I do, don't you?
there was never a day that passed where the old couple didnt think about each other. about every happy memory. about where it all went wrong. they could’ve still been happy together, in love in Vancouver. but she left. she was heartbroken leading him to become heartbroken.
You said, "forever," in the end I fought it Please be honest, are we better for it?
forever. the word they always used. “i love you. you’re my forever.” “we will be together forever.” it was all a lie. nothing was forever. not since the break up. and especially not since quinn got a new girlfriend. some blonde girl he met at a bar after a game. every dream he had with you went out the door the same moment you walked out.
Thought you'd hate me, but instead you called and said, "I miss you" I caught it
quinn left many voice messages. your heart broke the moment you listened to them. you play them over and over since he moved on. “i know i wasn’t there much but i promise if you come back it’ll be different. you’re my everything. everything hurts without you and im so sorry. im sorry that i didn’t notice. everything got so hard that i wasn’t in the right head space. im sorry..” “i miss you” it came out as a whisper but you still heard it. you cried for hours. you missed him.
But I only saw you once in December I'm still confused
December. possibly the worst month. the month you walked out only for a year later the next December for him to have a new girl. you were back in Vancouver for work and decided to get a few drinks with some old friends. thats when you saw him. the ex love of your life with another girl in his lap. your heart shattered in that moment, before he could see you, you told your friends you weren’t feeling well and left.
You said, "forever," and I almost bought it I miss fighting in your old apartment Breaking dishes when you're disappointed I still love you, I promise
there were small arguments here and there. but everything always ended on good terms. life was perfect with quinn. he was your home and you were his. you were the one thing that brought him comfort and peace. his family loved you. your family loved him. they knew you guys would get married. the love and connection you had was strong. the love never died. even if he had a new girl.
Nothing happened in the way I wanted every corner of this house is haunted and I know you said that we're not talking but I miss you, I'm sorry
every dream, every plan, every hope of a future together fell apart. you tried to piece it back together. you still had some of quinns old stuff that you held during nights where you cried until empty. your new home didn’t feel like one. a place of not belonging, a sad feeling haunting you everywhere you went. you’d do anything to get him back. he’d be there waiting for you because what you didnt know was him and that girl only lasted a month its been 6 months since December. leading to summer.
I don't wanna go, think I'll make it worse Everything I know brings me back to us I don't wanna go, we've been here before everywhere I go leads me back to you
ellen had invited you to the lake house for the summer. she missed you, and she knew her eldest did too. quinns a mommas boy after all. she knew you still loved each other. you were scared to go. you needed to get out because staying in this house started to bring you to a state that would be hard to get out of. you needed to fix things with quinn. you didn’t want to ruin things more than they already were though. with the comfort of ellen telling you everything would be fine you packed your bag and headed off to the lake house. one thing about you and quinn is that no matter what through destiny fate or whatever you always ended up back in each others presence. you and quinn knew each other as kids but he later moved. it was heartbreaking. but somehow in between the time he came back. you attended the same high school together. finally confessing to one another you guys got together. and here you were this time you found your way back to him.

Voicelines: Kaeya’s Birthday
Tumblr media
Characters: Jean, Lisa, Klee, Diluc, (Y/N), Kaeya
Summary: Some people have some things to say in regards to today…
Genre: Fluff/Mild-Angst + Snippets
CW: romantic Kaeya x gn!reader & platonic for everyone else, not proofread
a/n: I uh wanted to try doing voicelines and what better opportunity than doing it for Kaeya’s birthday (yes I’m late but shhhhh)! Happy Birthday Kaeya <333
Tumblr media
Jean
“Even though today is his birthday, Kaeya refuses to stop working. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s dedicated or simply forgot the date. Regardless, he should take the day off and enjoy himself.”
Lisa
“Kaeya doesn’t really celebrate his birthday. The most he’s ever done was drink himself silly and hardly anyone can consider that celebrating. Still, I’m sure there’s a reason behind it. Oh? You’re curious? Try asking (Y/N), cutie, they may know.”
Klee
“Today is Kaeya’s birthday! Klee heard that Amber is planning a surprise party for him later. Will you come too? There’ll be loads of yummy food and drinks. Oh and cake too! Klee hopes she made a good gift for Kaeya…”
Diluc
“It’s been a long time since either of us celebrated. Times were… simpler back then. Every year though Kaeya never fails to ask if he could get a drink on the house. Of course, I say no.
The staff at the winery miss him too and keep asking me to invite him over. Even if I wanted to, Kaeya always finds a way around it. So there’s no one to blame but him on that front. Must he make everything so difficult for me though?
*sigh* I digress. Traveller, one last thing. Could you deliver this bottle for me? I have no doubt you know who the receiver is.”
(Y/N)
"This year, I hope to make it the best for my lover. If you couldn’t tell, Kaeya gets… weird about his birthday. Yes, weirder than normal. Do I know why? I do, but it’s not my story to tell Traveller.
On top of the party, I have many presents for him for when we get home. Some material, others not so much. I’ve always had trouble picking out gifts, but it’s even worse when it comes to Kaeya. Still, it was fun. I’m smiling? I can’t help it, not when it comes to him and what he does to my heart.
...Do you think he’ll like this? It’s a feather earring. Did you know that Kaeya's vision isn't like the others? It's missing a set of feathers - the feathers required to fly.
...I want to give him his freedom. Even if it's only a little. Even if it's only for a day. He deserves that and so much more.
Kaeya
“When were you going to tell me about the party? Haha, I’m kidding. How did I know? Let’s just say I’m not a captain for nothing. Don’t worry, I'll act surprised when the time comes.
This is the first year (Y/N) will celebrate with me as my significant other. I’m truly blessed to have them in my life.
…Weird? Who told you that? (Y/N)? Oh, I see. I do tend to forget or celebrate in untraditional ways, there’s no denying that now that it’s out of the bag, but I wouldn’t go as far as weird to describe it. You think so too? I’m wounded.
(Paimon: “Uh! I don’t see why (Y/N) decided to get you anything. How do they deal with you!?”)
Wait. They got me something?
I can’t wait to see it. :)
Tumblr media
Very important addition: Kaeya is teary eyed and smiling softly when he hears you got him a gift <3
