If you could pick just one superpower, what would it be and why?
barton cleared his throat as he was approached by a stranger whom, for some reason, appeared to be completely unidentifiable; what with their sunglasses and seemingly blank features. and for a moment, he was extremely confused, but then he remembered something that he'd learned from the mun — or autumn, as she preferred to be called and was a person who seemingly had a weird connection with him (i just had to do the fourth wall break like this y'all... sorry LOL)— that he would be approached by someone he could trust and who was curious about him. so he then set down the coffee mug he was holding, before he began responding to them, ❝ uhh, well, i actually haven't really thought about it that much before. i guess because i am honestly perfectly fine with being human? but if i were to pick one, i would want it to be useful. and preferably not boring after a few seconds like super speed. ❞ barton tilted his head as he might've or might've not made an underhanded comment directed at the flash.
he always thought that something like that always had too many disadvantages to it as well, personally, so that was another reason why he disliked it. a hum of contemplation was what ended up breaking the temporary silence that had ensued as he thought of his answer. it appeared he had something like an epiphany then, though, judging by the fact that he rose a finger towards the figure and uttered a soft ' oh, wait ' like he was having a revelation, ❝ okay... yeah, after a little bit of deliberation, i think i know which one i'd want to have now. teleportation. i mean, imagine how helpful that would be to have if you were me. a couple of idiot cops giving you trouble by holding you at gunpoint and so you need a quick out? you could just poof away, wherever you want to go. you discover in the middle of a date with a person that was supposed to be the next person on your chopping block that they are also a serial killer and were planning on killing you as well at the end of the night? ignoring how ultra-specific that scenario is, as it totally hasn't happened to me or anything, you can just simply disappear and avoid having an awkward knife fight with them. ❞
yeah, with how detailed that situation was and how barton seemed to almost be too eager to brush it off as not being legit, it absolutely had happened to him. a laugh came from him then as he moved on from the subject, ❝ so, anyways, like i was saying... a power like that could be pretty instrumental in helping me escape sticky situations. and so i'd want teleportation. there's your answer, anonymous. i also think that having a pocket dimension could be fun, but i have to say that this is ultimately what i'd wanna go with. it is practical and fun after all. ❞

╰┈➤ ❝ [He nearly misses one of the most important moments of your lives together.] ❞
Tumblr media
You had told him you would be fine, and, of course, John knew he could take your word—even if over these nine months he’d been more worried than he had been in his entire life. It would have been difficult for you to say how you were truly feeling about being home alone two days past your due date with no one but the birds outside to give you company. 
He had been up at arms about being with you through this, and the man’s stubbornness about that fact had made your face go soft with love. John was the most loyal man you’d ever met; add in a child on the way and he became no better than a hound baying at the scent of a fox. But this had apparently been so important that he’d asked you about the idea of being away for a day—a single day, the man had emphasized, even if the others had to stay wherever they were going for longer. He’d take the red-eye back the second after the time was up, a whole military Heli and all.
One day was far better than one week—far better than one month. So, you’d agreed albeit a bit reluctantly as the man reassured you he’d be back safe and whole. He’d be back for the birth. 
Yeah, that was a load of bullshit. 
You lay in the hospital room, panting and trying to keep your eyes open as the contractions hit once more; a whimper hidden as you bend your neck forward to let your chin hit your chest. 
“Shit,” you breathe, the nurse moving out of the room quickly to grab more water and the doctor for you. 
This had been going on for a good four hours—levels of shaking pain that lasted upwards of a minute and had been increasing in frequency more so in the last sixty minutes. They’d finally had you lay back on the bed only a little bit ago, and you knew at that point that John would be unable to make it for the birth of your first child.
The thought terrified you. 
You place a hand on your stomach and blink down at it, the raised half of the bed behind you and the chill of the room making you shiver. The buzz of the lights—the closed windows. Your heart is running not only from the thought of this, of all that could go wrong, but also because you now lacked the most steady rock you’d had in your entire life: John. He’d know what to tell you to make you calm down, to make your mind stop with all the panic. 
But he’s not here, and that alone makes you want to—
The door opens so quickly it nearly busts off of its hinges.
Your heart sputters, head jerking back as you wince from another contraction, this one far more painful and promising to stay for longer. Closer now. But your eyes blink on something more important. 
“I’m here, Love.” As if a phantom, John hurries through, a gaggle of wide-eyed nurses behind him before the door to your room is shut by firm hands. “Fuckin’ hell, Sweetheart, I’m ‘ere, it’s alright.”
He’s still in his gear—lacking weapons as those had probably been tossed away on Base—but vest and hat are present; the large boots with tucked pants and that compression shirt. You watch in shock as he speeds up to the side of your bed, taking your hand in his large one and squeezing. His other grabs the motion-less chair and drags it over with a grunt. 
“Now,” John says, shaking his head at you as you simply stare. “You squeeze my hand as hard as you well please then, yeah? Don’t care if you break a few fingers, Love, I’ve been through worse.” 
“How…” You mutter, tears welling in your eyes. “How did you…?”
He blinks those tiny blues at you, twitching his nose as his gaze darts down your body. 
“Had a feeling,” is all he says. 
You laugh through a sob and he presses his forehead into yours, hand on the base of your skull. 
“I’m here right now,” he utters. “Gonna have to have a few words with the little Muppet when they’re out about timing. Nearly made me bloody miss it.” 
“John Price,” you scolded lightly, laughing. 
He only hums and tries to hide his wide grin, eyes shimmering. 
By the time it’s all over, he holds the both of you to his vest-less top as he leans back beside your bare dewy skin, the small bundle kept to your chest with its gripping hands. John’s arm was around your shoulders, drawing you to him. You had fallen asleep not minutes prior, and the soldier kept watch as he always had when his girl was needing him. 
Well, girls now. 
He watches, not speaking, barely breathing, only pulling you closer to him as you sigh and shift. The baby, his and yours baby, gargles and kicks her little feet until he shifts a hand to assist your own in cupping her higher. His smile is uncontainable, just like the sudden glossiness to his eyes at such a tiny weight in his grip.
John watches, and he comes to a conclusion as he presses a deep kiss into your scalp, his thumb taken into the smallest grip that has ever held it. 
There was never a more beautiful sight than the one right in front of him.

Are you alright, Honey?
Javi Gutierrez x afab!reader oneshot
Tumblr media
Summary: You’re going on a long weekend with your gorgeous new boyfriend, and after a day of unresolved sexual tension out on a roadtrip you’re ready to jump him the second you get home. Unless he finds a movie at the gas station he had been looking for for years and he wants to watch it with you. Will you be able to mask your desire for him, to enjoy a movie that means so much to him? (Spoiler alert no you won’t)
Rating & Word count: Explicit | ~8500 words
Warnings/tags: fluffffff, freshly established relationship, pining like whoa, very explicit smut, f!oral, f!fingering, tons of nipple play, non-penetrative sex (sumata ig?), unprotected penetrative sex, multiple orgasms, allusions to squirting, pleasure dom!Javi vibes, tw alcohol, tw food mention, Javi is a major dumb of ass but he makes up for it, reader has female genitalia, some boobs, and long enough hair to tuck it behind their ear but no other descriptions (let me know if you find anything else!), no age references
A/N: Here it is, after years of contemplating I'm posting my first fanfic in 12 years and my first fanfic in English ever. Please be kind, English is not my first language ❤ This is a huge thing to me, and I wouldn't have been able to get there without the help and encouragement of my lovely friends - I owe a kidney to @psychedelic-ink and @shellshocklove for their tremendous help as my betas, and to @iamasaddie @perotovar @chronically-ghosted @wannab-urs for listening to my bitching and moaning along the way and still staying my loyal cheerleaders 🥺 The whole idea popped into my mind like a movie while editing this gifset (which was inspired by @prolix-yuy’s Javi story, so special thanks to LJ 🥰), that 5th gif corrupting my mind for the next 2,5 months and this was the only way I could finally get it out of my system. 🤡 I hope you'll enjoy it! ❤
This was quite an eventful day. You spent your whole day out with Javi, having a road trip at Côte d’Azur. After a little bit more than a month of dating you had decided to go on a long weekend together, choosing the French coastlines. You had been absolutely amazed by the experience; clear azure waves embracing golden shores, the streets of seaside towns winding through history with beautiful architecture and warm colours, mountain tops lurking on the horizon behind the town. After Javi had told you he would get you into the Cannes movie festival, you were already talking about coming back for a few days. 
The sights were unbelievable and the food was delectable, but what really made the trip unforgettable was your new boyfriend. Spending time with Javi was so easy. With him, all your anxiety washed away - his sweet and caring personality was like a soothing balm for your soul, and with his fun-loving side, you really felt like living your life to the fullest. Not to mention how he showed his true colors in the bedroom. Absolutely devoted to your pleasure, he could be worshipping you, making you feel like a goddess, other times he would make you beg, then shower you with praises while he was giving you exactly what you needed. Who would have thought only a few weeks before, when​ you had started chatting with a stranger waiting in line at the cinema, that he would sweep you off of your feet almost immediately and turn your life upside down in the best way possible? 
There you were right now, coming home from another amazing day spent with him, laughing with him, staring at his profile while he was driving, smoothing out his sun-bleached locks tangled up by the wind in the cabrio while he was looking at you all doe-eyed and dopey-smiled. You were holding his hand, feeling his hand on your bare thigh, resting at the hem of your bunched-up sundress comfortably and sometimes you had caught him looking at you with the same intensity. It was safe to say, by the time you got in the car to get home you were ready to jump him. 
There was only one tiny thing you hadn’t calculated for when you had been planning your night (or rather imagining it dreamily from all angles): finding a DVD at a gas station. When his eyes fell on the item, he’d looked confused for a few seconds, but then taking it from the shelf and reading the cover his face lit up like a child’s in a candy store. 
As it turned out, it was an indie French movie he had watched with his parents back when he was young and they had been on a holiday. They had rarely spent quality time together, so he cherished those few occasions he’d felt like he belonged to an ordinary, loving family. He remembered the time fondly and he always wanted to find the movie because of the nostalgia of it all, but he had forgotten the title and didn’t know the actors, so after a lot of unsuccessful attempts, he’d given up trying. 
“Can we watch this tonight? Please?” He looked at you with big brown eyes, enveloping the DVD in his hands, (dwarfing it, really) and pressing it to his heart. And how could you say no to him? If he looked at you like that, you would have agreed to watch a 10-hour-long film about paint drying on a wall. 
“Of course, Javi,” you smiled at him gently, your heart melting from his child-like joy as you watched him gallop to the cashier to pay for the gas and the DVD. You pushed the slight disappointment of not being able to climb this gorgeous goofball of a man as soon as you get home, to the back of your mind. 
At the end of the day, you were genuinely happy to just spend time with him. You blamed your hormones and the fact that you were still in the honeymoon phase for being pent up all day. You couldn’t help it, but you are a big girl in an adult relationship, you decided, you can have one night without having sex with this tall, broad, gentle but surprisingly strong, passionate, generous, highly skilled–
“Let’s go!” he urged you with an adorable grin and shining eyes, grabbing your hand and tugging you out of the gas station. Your heart swelled from the sight. Yes, you can have a peaceful night if it makes him happy, and you will be just as hyped to watch the movie as him. It did seem like a good movie based on the cover, and you knew it meant the world to him, so you wouldn’t spoil his fun with your neediness. 
By the time you got back to your rented house, it was already dark, and the early autumn weather had gotten a bit more chilly. Javi practically jumped out of the car (but still rushed to your side to open your door). 
You agreed that you would prepare the snacks and set up the TV, while he would start the fireplace and get a bottle of wine from the cellar. He gave you a soft peck on your lips, one hand resting on the back of your neck, then he pretty much ran to the cellar - you think you even heard him giggling on his way. His enthusiasm was infectious, even though you’d never even heard about the movie before, now you were excited to watch it.
When you found out how to get the DVD to work Javi was already tinkling with the logs on the fireplace, a bottle of wine with two glasses on the kitchen counter already. You let yourself get lost in the sight for a good minute, your cavewoman brain activated by looking at him focusing on his task with his arms flexing, but then you shook yourself from your reveries, going to the American-style kitchen to put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and wash some grapes, then putting the wine on the coffee table next to the couch.
You couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at him. His short-sleeved shirt was now unbuttoned, hanging on his shoulders and your eyes fell on his white tank top straining over his torso. He seemed especially broad like this, and you couldn’t wait to cuddle with him and bury your face in his chest, kissing over the constellations of freckles on his shoulders and chest you were so familiar with by now.  
Once the fire was lighting, he looked at you proudly and you beamed back at him. The more his eyes were on you, the more his look grew softer. His gaze full of adoration made butterflies whoosh in your stomach - you were overwhelmed by emotions for this man, sometimes it even made you scared of falling too hard. 
“Are you sure you’re okay with watching this movie tonight, cariño?” He asked tenderly, his voice raspy and deep. He walked up to you to put his hands on your waist, caressing you with his thumbs and lowering his head to really look into your eyes. “I know these four days are supposed to be about the two of us.” There was no hurt or any malice in his voice, he was ready to drop the plan the second you said so. It felt like he was staring into your soul and suddenly you felt guilty. You obviously didn’t try hard enough to support him if he felt the need to ask and that made your guts tie up in a knot. You put your hands on the sides of his neck, then lowered them to his shoulders, then his chest. You never broke eye contact.
“Honey, I’m absolutely sure. We had a long day so a movie night is perfect to wind down and this movie seems super interesting! I swear, I can’t wait to start it already!” You rose on your tiptoes and laid an innocent kiss on his lips. He didn’t let you go, holding your face to deepen the kiss and a zap ran through your body as his tongue slipped between your lips to taste you. 
You felt his little huff on your upper lip, and you couldn’t resist the quiet moan that escaped your throat. The sound somewhat sobered you up, and you broke the kiss, feeling a little dizzy. He opened his eyes slowly, looking a bit disheveled himself. You had a mission to accomplish, you couldn’t get distracted all the time… you went back up just to give a small kiss on the tip of his nose, which made him smile bashfully, his eyes crinkling adorably. 
“Come on baby, let’s start it!” 
You grabbed the snacks, but he took them from you with a kiss on your temple, and you both headed to the couch. He put the snacks down on the table and plopped down on the L-shaped furniture as you went on a quick round to light some candles around the room, bathing it in warm colours. You started with the candles in the back and as you worked your way back up you caught him pouring wine into your glasses, then he started to explore the menu of the DVD to set up an English subtitle. With a small sigh, you allowed yourself to indulge yourself in his sight one last time while you were finishing up the candles. 
He quite literally took your breath away. His lovely locks you adored to bury your hands into so much, his eyes sparkling from the TV’s light and crinkled with a smile he probably didn’t even notice he had on his face. Your eyes followed the curve of his prominent nose and fell on his lips under his neat mustache. Those pouty lips... you had some vivid memories involving them. The man might look innocent, but he sure knew how to do sin when he wanted to. 
He leaned back with his legs propped up and reached out to you. You climbed on top of him and nestled yourself into his chest. He held you close to him, situating himself so you were sitting between his legs, resting your back on his chest. 
“Ready, cariño?” He hummed into your neck, pressing a small kiss there. Your blood sizzled under your sensitive skin. 
“Never been more ready! Let’s go!”
Javi started the movie and scooted even closer to you, if possible. Strong arms resting on your stomach, caging you in, he nuzzled your neck with a low hum, leaving a trail of kisses up your jaw, finishing with the softest of kisses on your cheek. You felt intoxicated, despite the untouched glasses on the table. His warmth was making your whole body melt, the way his chest rose and fell rhythmically behind you soothed you, and his cologne filled your nostrils with something warm and spicy and citrusy. But below all those layers it smelled uniquely like him, perfectly complementing his perfume. You would recognize it anywhere, after so many times of tasting his skin all over his body – it was the perfect concoction.
He was none the wiser about your… rather delicate situation, eyes glued to the screen, hands absentmindedly caressing your hips and stomach. You tried to focus on the movie, and you were able to catch glimpses of it and laugh at the jokes, but his touches kept distracting you. More often than not you caught yourself looking at his sinewy forearms, the golden watch on his wrist, and the ring on his pinky catching on your dress from time to time. You slowly traced the veins on his arms, and as you tried to focus on the screen again you played with the edges of his watch and ring. He gently caught your hand, intertwining your fingers and raising it to his face for a kiss on your knuckles. 
“Some wine?” He murmured sometime later. 
You were grateful for the opportunity, slightly going mad from the tension as you were stewing in your juices. He barely finished his question, you were already leaning for the glasses, handing him one. “Oo-kay,” he chuckled at your enthusiasm, albeit a little confused by your behaviour. He paused the movie and sat up at the corner of the couch. You were still between his legs, but you both positioned yourself to turn to each other more at the corner. His left hand held the glass, and his right was on your waist, keeping you close to him. His eyes were glazed over looking at your face and you could only imagine how ridiculously smitten you must have looked like. 
“For this perfect day, and for the unexpected gifts it has brought us,” he said, raising his glass. 
“For this perfect day, that is about to get even better,” you answered, making him grin with his bottom lip caught between his teeth. 
You clinked your glasses and raised it to your lips, him barely tasting the wine through a sip, while you downed the whole glass. Leaning back against the backrest of the couch, you tried to look put together. The taste really was divine, and you had hoped it would help to calm your nerves a bit. Javi was visibly amused looking at you.
“You liked it, huh, cariño?” He asked, getting your glasses and putting them on the table leaning over your legs. 
You giggled in response, smiling shyly at him with a small shrug, “It tasted amazing, Javi. It was a great choice.” 
“I knew you would love this. Say the word and a box of these will be at my house by the time we get home,” he said, as he tucked a strand of hair behind your ears and kept his hand on the side of your face. 
“Consider it said.” You winked at him and he breathed out a silent laugh, but he tilted his head a little with a small frown between his brows, seemingly inspecting you. You had a feeling you had looked a bit nervous, only because you’d tried to clumsily mask your desire for him, wanting to give this night to him to enjoy a movie that meant so much to him but… you clearly weren’t succeeding. You knew he was about to ask you about it, so instead you grabbed the remote before he could speak. 
“Shall we?” You asked nonchalantly. 
His hand dropped from your face. “Of course,” he said. 
He shook his head a little, failing at figuring you out as he leaned back on the couch. You laid down in front of him so you could continue watching the movie while he spooned you, and pressed the play button. You’d hoped that with this new pose, there would be less temptation as you’re not laying on him anymore, but boy, were you wrong. 
He hoisted you closer to his body, his hand splayed out on your stomach, and kept you there, almost protectively. Staring at it, you dumbly wondered about how much smaller your torso looked under his hand than your own and that activated something primal in your mind again. You felt his crotch pressed up to your ass, and though he wasn’t hard, it made your cunt throb around nothing. It was so close, yet so far, and you weren’t allowed to do anything about it. Your guts twisted, and you wiggled every few minutes, pressing your thighs together, uselessly fighting the arousal that kept getting more and more suffocating. 
A few minutes later he nuzzled at the back of your ear, and the combined sensations of his breath in your ear and the soft tickle of his mustache and stubble made a shudder run through your body, followed by goosebumps everywhere.
“Are you alright, honey?” He murmured, looking at your profile. 
“Of course, Javi,” you said, not very convincingly. “Just trying to find the perfect angle.” You explained as you wiggled some more, still staring at the TV, as your thumb gently smoothed across his knuckles to soothe him. 
“Right…” he replied. 
Whatever he thought, he didn’t say anything else. 
However, a few minutes later the hand that had been on your stomach slowly wandered down, below the hem of your sundress, and he gently, but firmly lifted your thigh to fit his between your legs. The movement was so unexpected that you couldn’t hold back a small groan from the pleasure the friction gave you. 
“You sure you’re alright?” Javi asked innocently behind your back, his hand now smoothing over the bare skin on your thigh, leaving an electric feeling beneath your skin in its trail. Every single one of his touches made arousal pool between your legs. You silently cursed at your body for growing more and more sensitive, begging for him to come closer. 
“Yeah…” you practically squeaked. You were close to your breaking point. 
Javi only hummed, his hand stopping to rest it on your stomach again. You were fighting your instincts to rub yourself on his thigh for a few minutes, and you were proud of yourself for resisting, but then he moved between your legs a little, enough to give attention to your aching clit, and the hiss that escaped your lips made him come to a halt. 
It felt like the time froze for a few seconds, none of you daring to move. You, trying to take back control over your treacherous body, and him obviously assessing the situation. You mentally did a facepalm as you felt your wet underwear sticking to his pants. He didn’t say anything, but his hand moved down from your stomach and bunched up your skirt. He breathed out your name, almost admonishing, and it made your heart jump. His hand was dangerously close to where you wanted him the most, and as his palm covered your mound, thick fingers reaching your soaked panties, he buried his face in the back of your neck. 
“Oh, honey…” he choked. He took a deep inhale, smelling your scent, then suddenly sat up and paused the movie. 
“No, Javi, I was watching it!” You wanted to wince at yourself, your act was truly ridiculous at this point. 
“None of that, cariño.” He shook his head, turning you on your back with a firm hand on your hip. “You obviously need me, please let me take care of you.” 
“It really can wait, I don’t mind!” You protested. You wanted nothing more than for him to touch you, but you didn’t want to be selfish. 
“Well, I don’t want to wait!” He declared, his gaze burning you as it fell from your face, scanning your body splayed out in front of him. “What about this: I eat you out, then we can continue the movie. Would that be okay for you?” 
You stared at him like a deer caught in a headlight. Is he serious? But his words definitely affected you. 
“Please, cariño,” he continued in a gentler tone, his pleading eyes finding yours again. “Let me eat your pretty pussy, now.” 
That was the last nail in your coffin, you swore under your breath as you almost went cross-eyed from his words only. “Fffuck, okay… okay let’s do this” you croaked after a few seconds, your defenses crumbling like a house of cards in a tornado. 
“Atta girl,” he smirked, and in an instant, he was on top of you. 
His fingers found their way into your hair as he put his lips on you, the press of his body a comforting weight on you. His kiss was electric, hot, and sensual. He sucked your lips in with a primal hunger, his tongue licking against the seam of your lips, opening you up to him and claiming your mouth with dominance. You barely noticed the soft sounds coming from your throat, only when you felt the corners of his mouth curl up slightly in a smile. You felt like you had to anchor yourself as you gripped the back of his open yellow shirt so hard, it was protesting against your ministrations on his shoulders. 
“Mmmtake—this—off,” you whispered desperately against his all-encompassing kiss. 
Javi leaned back, his hair disheveled, to practically tear the shirt off of himself. With a huff through his nose, his eyes gazed at your kiss-swollen lips with hunger. You were out of breath from the intensity of the kiss, panting softly as you took in the sight of him. 
He still had his tank top on, your mouth already dropping from the show. His top only accentuated his wide shoulders and narrow waist, and his skin kissed by the firelight was glowing in a golden light, its colours and the way the lights and shadows exaggerated his features made you drool. You could never resist the freckles on his shoulders and chest either. If you weren’t already on the edge of insanity, you would spend hours kissing and biting along his torso, but now clearly none of you had the patience for that. 
He came back to you and started suckling on your neck, one of your hands flying to his back to weakly trace the ridges of his shoulder blade, while the other clutched his bicep. Keeping up his ministrations on your neck he gently bunched up your dress above your stomach. His thigh found its way back between your legs and this time you bucked your hips up shamelessly. He groaned as he felt your wet warmth staining his pants and his lips traveled lower. As he trailed your collarbone with the tip of his tongue between his lips, two of his fingers touched you through your panties and you moaned out loud. 
“Javi, please!” you whined as he trailed his middle and ring finger up your seam, and tapped on your clit through the soaked textile. You were so worked up, you felt your heart pounding in your ears. 
“Shhh cariño, I got you,” he murmured, his voice impossibly low and his breath burning your chest. 
His fingers never gave up, but he always kept his touches light, making you throb uncontrollably. You watched him move lower, and you couldn’t decide what to stare at: his lips and tongue molding against your fevered skin, or the dips and hills of his shoulders and biceps flexing as he kept himself up with one arm while torturing you with the other. He traced his tongue around your navel and he looked up at you as he licked over its valley, his fingers mimicking the movement below. He then had the audacity to send you a cheeky wink as your whole body shuddered.
“Fuuuck, stop teasing me, I can’t take it anymore!” you sounded pathetic, but you didn’t care at this point.
“Okay, baby. You earned it.” 
He consoled you quietly with a final kiss to your lower stomach, before hooking his fingers into your panties to slowly drag the piece down. If it was anyone else you probably would have felt awkward about how the fabric protested at first, sticking to your cunt, but with Javi, if anything, you felt powerful. 
He was visibly trying to compose himself as he gently helped you get both your legs out of the ruined piece and with a shaky exhale he scooted back. He shove a cushion under your ass as he laid down on his belly, navigating your thighs over his shoulders, eyeing your center with blown-out pupils. 
“I will never get used to this,” he mused to himself with wonder in his voice, as he splayed his hands across the crease of your ass to softly spread your cunt wide open with his thumbs. You felt his heavy huff on your pussy, and it made you twitch again. He looked captivated by the sight.
“Javi, I swear to go—oohhh my god,” Javi cut you off as the flat of his tongue licked a broad and firm stripe through your folds with a depraved moan.
Your whole body lifted up, and he hooked his arms around your legs, grabbing at the top of your thighs as he held you down, keeping you close to his ravenous mouth. He gave you a few greedy laps, slowly exploring all of your cunt before his tongue lazily went around your hole. Your muscles were twitching, your chest and neck aflame, and if his sight weren’t so hypnotizing you would have thrown your head back already. You felt boneless. 
Your abs shaking from the strain of keeping you upright, you grabbed a few cushions you could reach from your position, and shoved them under your head, angling yourself perfectly to watch him at work. He was licking at you tirelessly, mapping all your sensitive spots, before he started to fuck you with his tongue, slowly but deliberately grazing your walls all around. 
You let out a raspy moan at the sensation - he was the first person who had ever done this to you and you were still surprised by it every single time. The feel of his agile muscle prodding at your sensitive flesh made your vision blur and sweat gather around your temple. He went as deep as possible, and after an inhale he buried his nose in your clit, slightly moving it left and right. You felt him everywhere as if he was surrounding your entire body. One of your hands grabbed a cushion so tightly, it made your knuckles ache, your other hand finding purchase in his soft locks. 
You were scraping his scalp with your fingernails, and he practically purred, the sounds vibrating against your raw flesh, starting a fire in your guts as goosebumps erupted on your skin. You couldn’t help pulling at a handful of hair as your pussy spasmed around his deft tongue. His purr turned into a growl as he removed himself, gulping some air still a few inches away from your cunt. Your hands lifelessly plopped down around you. 
“Fuck, cariño, I won’t ever get enough of you,” his speech was slurred like he was drunk and he looked up at you with disoriented eyes. “You taste so good, I would happily drown in you.”
You wanted to react, you really did, but as he was talking one of his hands left your thigh and traced an invisible pattern down the apex of your thighs, fingers traveling through your cunt and gathering your juices, then reaching their destination, a thick digit slipping into you just when you wanted to answer him. Whatever you wanted to tell him, he rendered you speechless with literally a swipe of his finger. The cracking of the fire and the slick sounds of your pussy were the only noises around you, until you felt his mouth on you again. He lapped up the juices escaping you around his finger, sucking on your lips with obscenely loud noises. You wanted to cover your face because you suddenly felt self-conscious, but his free hand grabbed your wrist as you heard him call your name brokenly. 
“Please don’t hide away from me, I want to see your face as I bring you pleasure,” he pleaded, his accent a bit stronger than usual. 
The mere look of him was debauched, all messy-haired and shiny-faced, looking at you like you hung the moon and the stars in the sky. Your heart skipped a beat, and you held onto his hand, his thumb tracing reassuring circles on your knuckles immediately. Your other hand smoothed his unruly hair out of his face, and he went back, keeping eye contact with you. 
“Look at me,” he rasped one last time before diving in.
He dragged his tongue up between your folds as his finger started moving again. He looked up at you the entire time from under his lashes, eyes half-lidded. As he reached your clit you jumped a little, and he opened his mouth wider so you could see his tongue moving against the tortured little nub with a small wiggle. You had to compose yourself not to let your eyes roll back, the sight somehow multiplying the already devastating sensation tenfold. 
“You’re so fucking good to me, Javi,” you uttered, caressing his hair and you could see a shiver running down his spine. “I’m so—so—“
“I know, mi amor, I can feel it. Let go for me.” 
He groaned and sucked your clit into his mouth, laving it with his tongue. You squealed, not knowing if you wanted to escape from his ministrations or let him consume you. You tried to trash around but his hands came up and covered the bottom of your stomach, holding you down again. You had half the mind to notice him slowly grinding onto the couch, but then you felt his tongue swirling around the sensitive nub, along with his finger rubbing that perfect spot inside you again, and you felt like a lightning struck you. 
All your muscles seized up as white-hot pleasure coursed through your veins. At first, you couldn’t even breathe, let alone make a sound, but then a groan tore out from the depth of your chest and you fell back on the couch lifelessly. Javi never let up licking at you, prolonging your catharsis, not stopping even when you tried to squirm away from oversensitivity. 
“No, no wait—“ you pleaded with a shaky voice to no avail. Everything was too much, but you couldn’t escape from his iron grip. Javi greedily explored all your sensitive spots around your swollen vulva and hole with firm strokes, before he found the button of your clit again, sucking on it harshly dragging you under the waves of ecstasy for a second time that night with a squeak. His mouth was sucking at you relentlessly through the helpless spasms of your body, draining all the energy from you and filling your brain with fuzzy cotton. You fell back limply, muttering nonsense while his mouth gently cleaned you up.
You had no idea how long you were just laying there uselessly, basking in the afterglow with Javi still between your legs. His face rested on the plush of your thigh, his breathing slow but heavy, his eyes closed and his hands flexing. 
Once your wits came back to you, you noticed a faint dent on your thigh from Javi’s ring, a thought of how you wanted to tattoo it on your skin filled your mind – to keep it there forever. 
You played with his hair again, curling a silky strand around your finger by scraping little circles on his scalp. As if you woke him up from a stupor, he looked up at you, breathing now almost normal, but his pupils were still blown out. He wiped his face on your inner thigh, then kissed and sucked off the remnants of your wetness there and you giggled, his facial hair tickling you. He crawled up your body with a smile across his face, before he laid next to you. You immediately followed him, decorating the hot skin on his shoulders and collarbone with lazy, open-mouthed kisses. He weakly pawed at your waist to bring you closer to him, then dragged the bottom of your dress over your thighs to give you some decency. 
“Sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted,” he pondered and gently pinched your ass. You snickered as you playfully swatted his chest, before laying your head on his pecs. His heart was beating wildly and it made you swoon, so much so that you had to lay a soft kiss between his pecs, just above the hem of his top before nuzzling even more into his blushed chest, as a content sigh fell from your lips. Your gaze couldn’t help but fall to his bulge - he was visibly affected by your previous endeavors. 
“Javi…” you whispered in his neck, while your hand gently caressed his stomach. You felt his heavy exhale under you. “If you want… we can continue…” 
“Oh! Of course, cariño!” he said, perking up, reaching out for the remote control and pushing the play button again, eyes immediately glued on the screen. 
You laid there, having a mental tantrum. Well, things weren’t going the way expected. How can he still be thinking about the movie? 
Squashing that ugly disappointment down, you turned in his arms to try to focus on the TV again. You weren’t allowed to complain, he said he would make you cum and you would continue the movie, and he did just that and more. You couldn’t help the ravenous hunger you had for this man though, it was never enough of him. You laid a soft kiss on his bicep below your head and your arm reached behind to gently shove him back against you. He followed you diligently, but he tensed as his bulge, now hard, rested against your ass again. 
“I’m sorry honey, I’ll just need a minute,” he apologised quietly, voice strained from embarrassment and barely veiled desire. 
The devil on your shoulder took over you as you rolled your hips against him slowly but deliberately. The filthy sound coming from deep in his chest melted your bones, making it hard to keep back your own needy whine. 
“Wh—what are you doing?” 
His strong grip on your hip felt like a warning, but his voice was so weak. That’s what made you throw all your culture out the window, giddy roiling in your guts from feeling him get fully erect against you. You barely registered your hand moving mindlessly, grinding your palm against him. His hand clenched around your forearm easily, but he didn’t move it away. 
“I need you, Javi,” you begged shamelessly, turning your head back in his direction as much as possible. 
“Fuck…” he breathed, eyes closed shut with a loud gulp. When he opened his eyes again his gaze was intense, one of his hands cradling your face as he propped himself up on his elbow to look deeply into your eyes. “I thought you wanted to watch the movie…” 
That made you freeze with confusion, even your hand stopped moving over him. 
“…me?” You asked incredulously. “I mean yeah, it does seem like a great movie and I’d happily watch it any other time, but I couldn’t wait to be alone with you the entire day. I’ve wanted to eat you up since we crawled out of bed this morning. But I’m happy to do anything as long as I’m with you– and you looked so happy to find that movie… I don’t know… I just didn’t want to ruin your joy with my neediness, I guess” you confessed hastily with warm cheeks. 
A soft sound of surprise got stuck in his throat as he looked at you with saucer eyes, gaping like a fish. It looked rather comical if you were honest. If you didn’t feel so sheepish about your clumsy confession, you would have giggled at his expression. 
He shook his head lightly, as if processing your words. “So that’s why you were acting so weird tonight!” He exclaimed, relief evident on his face. He breathed out your name softly, his thumb caressing your face ever so gently. 
“I felt the same way the entire day. I got distracted by finding the movie, I give you that, but up until that moment, I was contemplating taking you in the bathroom in every single place we visited. Even in the car, consequences be damned,” he huffed, and you had to clench your thighs to alleviate the need growing between them again from the mental image. 
“Cariño, I have the DVD now, I can watch it whenever I want!” He tutted, “I swear, one day I’m gonna write a screenplay for you to be the lead in it, you’re such a talented actress. You seemed so eager to watch this movie that I felt guilty for trying to distract you,” he smoothed a strand of hair behind your ear with a chuckle, “I suppose both of us were fools…” 
You couldn’t hold back a rather unsexy snort at that, but it made him beam at you with crinkling eyes. 
He cupped your jaw and leaned over to press a sweet kiss on your lips, but it immediately grew hungry. The stark difference between his precious face and the taste of yourself still on his tongue made a shudder run through your body. 
Javi can really do both, you thought dreamily, but you were quickly snapped back to reality when he rolled you on top of him and deepened the kiss as he slowly sat up, helping you to position yourself on your knees around his hips. He planted his feet on the couch and grabbing your bare asscheeks firmly he dragged your pulsing center down on his bulge. 
Your hands flew to his hair, arms resting on his shoulders, feeling like passing out when you felt his cock twitch against your bare pussy, tearing a low hiss out of him. He bunched up and gripped your dress around your torso. 
“This little dress was teasing me all day,” he groaned, slowly pulling down the zip on your back, the edge of his thumb caressing your bare spine in the process. “It looks fantastic on you, honey, but I need to see all of you, right now.” 
By the time he finished his thought, he already tugged it off of you, your breast jiggling in front of his face from the impact of falling out of the secure hold of the dress, his heavy gaze falling to them immediately, your body now bare in his lap. 
“Oh god, look at you… tan bonita,” he murmured as his hands slid over your ribs firmly, before they slipped under your breasts with a feather-light touch. 
He cupped the mounds gently as his thumbs smoothly explored the skin. The pad of his fingers traced your areola, then softly rubbed over your sensitive nipples. You arched your back, leaking some more wetness on his trousers as you rubbed yourself heavier on him. One hand molded a breast into his waiting mouth, tongue wiggling around the achy nub and the other slipping down your shivering stomach, across the top of your thigh and teasing at your seam across your ass. 
The suckling sensation on your nipple, while his hand was prodding teasingly at your swollen entrance made you go insane. You had to center yourself around something. You clasped the back of the couch tightly, using it as support as you pushed your chest more in his face. Without hesitation, you vigorously moved your clit against his bulge, your head arched back in ecstasy.
His wrecked moan was the prize, your breast slipping from his lips as you watched a tremor course through his entire body. Once he came back to his senses he doubled down his efforts, nuzzling the other breast and sucking the pebbled nipple in his hot mouth. 
His tongue started to swirl around the hardened nub at the same time as two of his fingers drowned in your slick pussy, finding your most sensitive spot with devastating accuracy. Your mind went blank, and your gasps came out in hiccups. Your instincts took over as you were riding his bulge with trembling legs, chasing your blinding pleasure. You only had enough wits to sit back to undo his belt, ripping off his fly, and with his help, you were able to push his pants down his thighs, freeing his erect cock.
His hand grasped the base and gently tapped it against your sensitive clit, and your hips started moving again, trapping his length under your pussy as you continued to slide over him. He softly bit on your nipple in response which blazed off fireworks in your lower stomach, his other hand never stopping its brutal pace grinding against your most sensitive spot. You were so close to cumming you could practically taste it on your tongue. 
“Feels so good—,“ your voice was desperate, and he let out a wrecked moan around your breast. 
The soft pulling sensation, coupled with the warm, wet caresses of his mouth on your nipple, the expert touch of his fingers on your g-spot, and the tantalizing friction of your clit rubbing against the ridges of his cock, quickly sent you spiraling into a world of ecstasy and pleasure. You came with a wail, your back arching and eyes rolling back. You faintly felt Javi’s hands at the base of your back and along your spine, keeping you close to him while his eyes feasted on you falling apart for him. You fell back on his shoulders, weakly grasping at his elbows as his palms caressed your back and he showered your neck with small kisses, humming quietly between them. 
“You did so well, you’re fucking amazing,” he breathed against your skin, as you felt your pulse slow down a bit. He kissed a path down your sweaty chest and came back the same route. After some blissful peace, you felt his cock twitch against you and you whined. 
“Do you have one more in you, mi amor? We can rest,” Javi asked gently, his eyes searching for yours. 
Bless his heart, he made you come three times and he would finish the night here and there, hard as a rock. Your body was still buzzing and you felt sore from his thick fingers but one look at his sinful state was enough to get you in the mood again. 
His lovely locks were now sticking to his face, the perspiration on his chest only making him glow even more. His mouth was agape, plush lower lip kiss-swollen, and his dark eyes silently pleading with you. Instead of giving him an answer, you gripped the hem of his tank top and peeled the offending item off of him as he held up his arms, helping you and keeping his lustrous eyes on yours. 
Resting your hands on the top of his chest you kissed down his neck, between his collarbones. Sitting back lower on his legs, you could trace your tongue between his pecs and down to his soft stomach. You couldn’t help but kiss around his little belly, giving him a playful bite which made him jolt with a small laugh. Your finger traced the soft patch of hair below his navel, and understanding your silent request, he kicked down the remaining of his clothes while you kneeled on the side. 
You were fascinated as you watched his cock in all its glory, shiny from your juices, precum already leaking from the angry, red tip. Your mouth watered at the sight, and you were already in motion to have a taste for yourself when he stopped you, gently putting his hands around your arms. 
“It pains me to stop you, but the second I feel your mouth on me, I would be a goner.” His husky voice was layered with desire. “C’mere, I need to be inside you,” he added, and you almost jumped on him. 
You crawled back over his hips while he pumped his cock a few times, his veins bulging in his cock and forearms. It was one of the hottest things you’ve ever seen and you filed the idea for later exploration. You went lower on him and he smeared his member over your slit, covering him in your juices generously again, then he prodded the head at your entrance. 
“Come on, cariño, let me feel you, please,” he growled, and you carefully descended down on him. 
You were over quite a few nights with him, but your pussy still struggled to accommodate his size, especially now that you were still sore and sensitive from earlier. The struggle felt like a pinch and you whined, but he cradled your face and kissed your forehead. 
“It’s okay honey, take your time,” he whispered and let you take the lead for the moment. 
He caressed everywhere he could reach. He sucked two fingers into his mouth and lead them to your clit, ever so slightly drawing circles around it. At first, it felt like a needle stab, but a few seconds later it turned into pleasure. You swallowed more of him with a quiver. You felt so full, even though you were still a few inches apart from sitting down completely. 
His tongue found your breasts again, laving at the skin with bites and kisses alternating between them, tongue chasing your puffy nipple with confident laps. When he sucked in your soaked bud to bite down on it your cunt bottomed out, swallowing his cock entirely as a fresh wave of slickness coated his base. He tore away from your glistening nipple, burying his face between your breasts with a heavy groan. 
“You’re so fucking tight around me,” he rasped into your damp chest. “You were made for me. And your skin is so fucking silky.” 
Just to prove his point, his greedy tongue made its way up your chest, across your neck and jaw and to claim your mouth in a hedonistic kiss, as his hands grabbed the meat of your ass; not to force you to move, but to ground himself. 
The kiss was a little clumsy, but no less toe-curling, his tongue exploring your mouth and teeth clashing as you started to rise and fall against him. You felt so full, as if he was in your guts. Your lungs burned as you felt more and more overwhelmed by the inferno in your body. You broke away from him only to lay back, hands grabbing his shins while continuing to move up and down on his cock. 
The new angle was exhausting, but it rubbed your insides from just the perfect direction, and your vision blurred from the sensation. From this angle he had the best view of his cock disappearing in your puffy cunt, then appearing again, covered in your juices. Javi was hypnotized by the sight, his mouth dropping, and eyebrows knitted tightly together. 
“That’s it, use me, just like that,” he grunted, trapped under your spell over him. 
Heavy-lidded eyes followed your every move, and as he reached out to touch your overworked clit again your thighs started to tremble so hard that you couldn’t continue gyrating against him. He swore under his breath as you throbbed around him another time, and you leaned over his body to grab his shoulders. 
He prompted you to rise higher on your knees above him as he secured his feet on the surface of the couch. One arm braced himself next to his torso, while the other slipped up your back to grab your shoulder from the back, and he started to pound into you mercilessly, stealing your breath. You could barely stay in place, so you grabbed the backrest of the couch as you felt tears pricking your eyes from the intensity. 
“Are you close, baby? I’m so close but I need you to come first,” he strained, seemingly every muscle in his body tensing from the exertion.
He looked like a sculpture of a deity from ancient times, especially when his head fell back, the thick column of his gorgeous neck on full display. You could only nod, not being able to even form a coherent thought anymore as your desperate whines became constant. He raised his head again - he couldn’t keep his gaze away from where you connected, his face almost looked angry from the concentration. 
“Fuckfuckfuck, rub your clit for me,” he roared, and you followed his order immediately. 
Almost as soon as you touched your clit, you started shuddering violently with a loud and raspy cry, tears running down your face as he kept grazing your g-spot with every powerful thrust. You felt possessed as your entire body short-circuited, and your ears started ringing. You faintly registered his load painting your walls as your throbbing core milked him dry, his growl echoing in your ears. 
You collapsed on him like a ragdoll, your sweaty bodies colliding as he kept you close to his chest. As you came back to your wits a few minutes later you felt raw and weak and vulnerable, but it was okay because Javi was there, embracing you with strong arms and gentle kisses across your face, swiping away your tears. His body was like a shelter as you clung to him with all your limbs and he kept you safe from whatever was happening outside of your bubble. 
“Are you okay?” He whispered, your name falling from his lips like a prayer as his hand smoothed over your hair while his body swayed you gently. 
“I’m… I’m more than okay,” you croaked, still feeling boneless as you weakly clasped into his body. “Thank you, this was a spiritual experience.” He huffed a small laugh at that. 
“You are incredible,” he cooed. 
You lazily nuzzled deeper into his neck with a hum, letting his scent calm your frayed nerves down. You stayed like that, limbs intertwined for a while, before Javi reluctantly pulled out of you, making the both of you groan as he gently helped you to lay on your back and he hurried to the bathroom in all his naked glory. 
He came back soon, but that little time was enough for you to realize that your thighs and mound were drenched. That explains the out-of-body experience. 
Javi sat down next to you, a warm and wet washcloth in his hand. He cleaned you up with reverence, eyeing the marks he had left over your body. He seemed worried, but you wore them with pride.
“That’s very kind of you, but I think we will need to shower anyway,” you smiled bashfully, and he placed a smooth kiss on your forehead.
“I wasn’t sure if you had enough energy for that,” he rasped.
“If you help me, it won’t be an issue,” you sat up slowly, your coordination akin to a newborn foal, his hand held out to help you to stand. 
“Of course, cariño.” 
His warm eyes made your knees buckle, this time not from your physical activities. As if on cue, the credits rolled on the screen with a blaring sound, and both of you jerked your head in its direction with alarm, obviously forgetting about the movie going in the background the entire time. You looked back at each other with wide eyes, laughter erupting out of you at the same time.
“So, you wanna watch the movie when we get back home?” He snickered.
“Definitely!” You perked up at the prospect of spending more time with him after your getaway. Besides, now it was your mission to finally really watch the movie. “Unless you’ll need me again,” you added, wiggling your eyebrows at him. He chuckled and smacked your ass gently.
“I was hoping for that answer.”

“Shame” (Part 4)
A Pedro Pascal x fem!Reader fan fiction / someone else joins the story...
Plot: For the last four years, Y/N and Pedro have been dating in secret. The fear of rejection has turned them into a mystery that could only be encountered in yearning looks on red carpets or hands that are touching one another briefly. However, for the longest time, things have been working out that way just fine. But now Pedro's agency wants him to have a PR relationship with another woman and neither Y/N nor Pedro is sure if their love is going to survive that.
Warnings: Mentions of anxiety, feelings of cheating, grief and eating disorders
Masterlist
Tumblr media
She stares at Pedro from across the crowded room. That's where the two of them are, relationship-wise. She gazes at him like he is a tempting stranger in a bookshop. Melissa's hands are drawing circles on Y/N's boyfriend's back while she whispers something into his ear. A sigh leaves her lips, it feels strange to call him that. Even though it was true, he used to be Y/N's boyfriend… no, he still is her boyfriend, right?
"You're not seriously asking me that!" Y/N had no idea, what facial expressions Pedro was doing because her eyes were concentrating on the floor. On the black and white tiles, where there was a minuscule crack in one of the black ones right beneath her chair. Has it always been there? Like some bizarre fucked up foreshadowing, just waiting patiently to be discovered.
"Are you even listening to me?" All she has ever done was listen to him. She nodded her head. "Y/N. Please.", she hears how he moves closer and after a few seconds, he kneeled down in front of her:" Look at me, darling." She really didn't want to, because she understood very well that the moment she did she could no longer conceal her feelings. "I love you, okay? Nothing has changed."
And when she ultimately raises her head, she noticed it in his eyes. The first time she saw that emotion was when she first met his siblings. Pedro's oldest sister made this desert and he declared that he really loved it. That he would need her recipe and that he couldn't wait to eat it again someday. Late on, he told Y/n that he lied. Simply because he didn't want to hurt his sister's feelings.
Pedro didn't want to hurt Y/N's feelings. And she let him.
Y/N swallows thickly before she turns her whole body back around. "Is everything alright?", a voice asks from behind her and she figures that it has to be one of her co-stars. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine.", the y/h/ced woman responds, without looking at them:" I just thought that I saw someone that I know, but turns out I was wrong."
The man chuckles:" Happens to me all the time. Not only do I have a really bad memory, but my eyesight is super crappy. Which is just a poor blend of important things." Y/N wrinkles her forehead and turns around. Only to be met by two very kind-looking eyes. "Oh my- I am so sorry.", she hides her face behind her hands for a moment, before looking back at him:" I thought, that you were one of my friends. That's so rude of me." Y/N immediately holds out her hand for him to shake:" I'm Y/N." "Yeah, I know.", he states, and when he touches her a shiver runs down her back:" I'm Matthew Gray Gubler. It's nice to meet you."
And that's when she senses it. For the first time in a long, long time. Y/N doesn't have to turn around to know that Pedro's eyes are lingering on her form. Something about this situation makes her feel like a criminal, but truthfully, she couldn't care less.
"So, are you nominated tonight?", Matthew asks, and takes a sip of his wine. His eager gaze is not once leaving hers. She shakes her head:" Oh, no. But the show is." "Barry, right?", a laugh escapes his lips:" I'm sorry. Of course, that's the show. I'm sitting here, pretending I'm not a huge fan of it and- of course, you." Y/N bites in the inside of her cheeks, while she notices how his eyes move down her face. She clears her throat and he echoes it.
"Anyway.", he says and crosses his legs, while the lights in the room dim:" It was nice talking to you, Y/N. Good luck." She nods:" Yeah, it was. Thanks." Matthew only tears his eyes off her once the room goes completely dark, and there is this sensation in the pit of her stomach that feels so unbelievably sinful and good at the same time. God, she's in big trouble.

@kraniumverse HAS COME UP WITH A CONCEPT AND I AM SCREAMING
consider: cole being a ghost is able to see jay and nya’s skybound scars when no one else can
haunted
***
Three weeks after Jay and Nya start dating again, Cole notices something...strange.
Well, another strange thing, he supposes. Jay and Nya have been acting off for weeks- calling out of training early, sneaking up to the roof at unholy hours to whisper, sharing looks no one else understands that seem to mean more than words ever could.
Everyone has noticed their behavior, but has had little success in understanding it. Zane had done his scans and both seemed to be in perfect health, no different from before, but no matter how much Kai asked Nya or Cole asked Jay, the two vehemently claimed that nothing was wrong.
The first time Cole notices something off, it’s a training-free day. Jay comes out of his room in a long sleeve shirt (which in itself was out of the ordinary- Jay grew up in the desert; Cole’s pretty sure he hadn’t owned a long sleeve shirt before Wu had recruited him) and jeans instead of his gi, and Cole has to do a double take as his heart stutters and he takes in a sharp gasp of breath.
The faint green imprint of a large hand wraps around Jay's throat, bright enough that Cole can easily tell what it was, yet dim enough he can't tell if it’s actually there or not. Cole freezes, his spoon halfway to his mouth as he stares. Kai raises an eyebrow at his look, and makes some remark that Cole doesn’t hear.
Then Jay looks over, panic running across his face, and he promptly leaves the kitchen two seconds later, claiming he had promised to help Nya with something.
During sparring the next day, Jay swears that he’s fine and had just suddenly remembered his commitment as he feigns left and jabs right, not meeting Cole's eyes. Nya confirms the story later, swiping a nonexistent lock of hair behind her left ear.
Cole knows they’re lying.
He’s pretty sure they know he knows.
***
Four days later, the team has finally trained enough to earn themselves a day trip, so they all pack up and head out to the west coast.
Jay wears long sleeves again, swearing he just doesn’t want to get sunburned. He runs his hands up and down his arms, shivering despite the warm sun.
Nya wraps her arms around his waist, muttering something in his ear. His shoulders ease, tension dissolving as a small smile grows on his face.
“Hey Lloyd,” he says, starting to grin. “Race you to the water!” He sprints away.
“Hey!” Lloyd calls, scrambling up and dashing to the tide. “No fair! You had a head start!”
Nya grins too. “Wait for me!”
She tears off the hoodie she wears over her swimsuit, throwing it at her brother as she runs to the water to join the others.
Cole stumbles back, trying to blink the image of ugly green acid marring her collarbone away from his swimming vision.
“Are you alright, Cole?” Zane asks, peering up at him, concerned.
Cole doesn’t have the heart to reply.
***
Cole knows Jay. He knows Nya. He knows them almost as well as he knows himself. He knows their favorite foods, the name of their childhood best friend, their love languages and their favorite candies.
He knows how they lie.
Sure, he wasn’t always totally sure when they were lying, but there was always a subtle sign from either of them that they were. He was almost always right.
But Cole has never been more sure they were lying than in this moment.
If Cole had a dime for every time he's barged into Jay's room, he'd have enough money to last a whole month's worth of city repairs. In all that time, in all the years, Cole had never once seen anything he shouldn't have.
Until today.
It's not like he's never seen Jay shirtless before.
It is, however, the first time he's seen it since Jay started acting strange, and now Cole things he knows why.
Ghostly green marks litter his best friend's back, his shoulders, his arms. Slash marks that look like they were from a katana slide from the top of his left shoulder blade to his right hip, though other lines and marks glow softly across his skin. A vivid green line rips across his side, torn like a knife was taken to his ribs and missed. Faint patches of skin glow a dim green, reminiscent of the marks on his neck, sickly bruises haunting his arms and back. Curved gashes press into his left shoulder, almost in the shape of a hook, and the same mark wraps around his head. Vibrant ghost green loops around his wrists, almost as bright as the neon coil around his right ankle.
The teacup Cole holds shatters as it slips from his grip.
Jay whips around with all the speed of the lightning ninja, freezing when he sees Cole.
For a moment, they stand there, horrified ghostly eyes meeting startled bright blue.
Cole can pinpoint the moment panic seizes Jay.
He pulls the rest of his shirt on remarkably quick, forcing a miserably fake laugh. His gaze darts to the shattered teacup, then back up to Cole.
"First Master, Cole, you scared the living daylights outta me." He forces another laugh, carefully walking over the teacup and hurrying past Cole and out of his room. “I-I was just on my way out, Nya asked me to help her figure out this glitch in the Roto Jet, so we should-”
He pauses when he sees that Cole hasn’t moved an inch.
In fact, Cole’s feet may as well be glued to the floor, for all he would even be able to move. No, he can’t- not with that image seared in his head, the cuts and the bruises and the wounds and the scars and the-
“Cole?”
Jay lays a hand on his shoulder, forcing Cole out of his frozen state.
Cole flinches, spinning around to face his best friend.
Jay’s eyes shine with concern, gazing up at him. He retracts his hand, hovering next to him. 
“Cole, are you okay?”
It takes Cole three tries to form coherent words.
“I...I’m...” He stares at Jay, ghostly handprint still rippling across his neck. 
Jay blinks patiently.
“Jay, what happened to you?”
Jay inhales sharply, rubbing his hands around his wrists nervously.
“I-”
“Don’t.”
Jay swallows. “Don’t what?”
“Don’t say that you’re fine.”
“But-”
“Jay.”
“I’m-”
“Jay.”
Jay shuts his mouth firmly, eyeing the floor.
“Don’t think you can lie to me. I know you too well.”
Jay’s gaze shoots up at him, eyes wide. He inhales again, biting his lip. Then e glances around, and shuffles back into his room, and closing the door behind him.
Cole’s heart starts to beat faster, the gravity of the situation weighing in his gut. “Jay?”
Jay slides down against the wall, pulling his knees up to his chest. “It’s-” His voice shakes. He bites his quivering lip, furrowing his brows. “It-” he tries again, shuddering to a stop all the same.
Cole slides down next to him.
“Jay,” he says gently, “you don’t have to tell me.”
Taking a measured breath, Jay speaks again. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you,” he voices slowly. “I just- I-” 
Tears shine in the young ninja’s eyes, and Cole’s heart breaks in two.
“You just?”
Jay rubs his wrists. Rubs the green rings on his wrists. “I...I don’t know if you’ll believe me. It sounds so ridiculous, and I-”
“Jay,” Cole interrupts softly. “You know you can tell me anything, right? You’re my best friend, I’ll always believe you. If you want to tell me, you can tell me.”
Jay sniffles. “You mean it?”
“Every word.”
“It might...it might take a while. It’s kind of...” He blows out a long breath. “It’s kind of hard to talk about.”
Cole keeps his gaze locked on Jay, who glances up from the floor with shining eyes.
“It’s okay,” he says gently. “I’m here to stay.”
Jay bites his lip again, and then he tells.
Cole listens.

if ur still taking requests and/or when back from hiatus, gojo smut. his gf has always been secretly jealous of her reader “bestie” and has always sabotaged her in little ways, not to her knowledge. after gojo finds out he’s been getting cheated on, he decides to get it on with the reader who he always liked instead and tells her the truth of her “bestie”
I really hope this is what you were looking for ♡
warnings: your bsf is a bitch, oral (fem receiving), lmk if i missed smth
"I'm gonna go head to the bathroom," you tell the small table as you get up to head to the restroom. A few days ago Riko, your best friend, had messaged you suggesting a double date with your current boyfriend. Since you had only been going out with Kei for a few months you thought it be a good test of his character to see him interact with your best friend.
Once Kei gave you the go-head to begin planning you began giving him the run down of your whole relationship with Riko. From you two meeting in highschool till now. Her competitiveness and swift actions to how she's always wanted a family. To say you were excited would be an understatement. Riko was always there when things went wrong. You were her right-hand man. However you didn't realize how little you knew about her boyfriend till Kei had asked about him. You knew his name was Gojo and that he was strong but not much else. You'd only met him a handful of times and even then Riko had kept him at a distance.
Walking away from the table Gojo lets Riko and Kei know that he's gonna go grab another drink from the bar. Standing not to far away he can still hear the conversation at the table behind him. With in seconds of him walking away Riko quickly changes the topic from a vacation her a Gojo went on to a crush you had in college.
"then she- omg" Riko can't hold in her laughter as she begins the story, "sorry, Y/N was just so desperate she literally like stalked this guy, and when she asked him out she tripped and hit her head on this like pole thing-" She burst out laughing again causing Kei to laugh with her. As Gojo stands at the bar waiting for his drink to be made his eyebrows srunched together hearing his girlfriend bad mouth her friend right in front of her new boyfriend.
By no means was this anything new, but Gojo had assumed Riko would see how much you really liked this guy. It was obvious you actually saw a future with him. But hey, if it's really meant to be he would stay, right?
"Also has y/n told you about her stomach problems?," Riko asked. Gojo didn't need to turn around to know that she was leaning in like it was a secret, yet held no sense to quiet down. Kei must have shook his head because she continued, "oh, you don't...she's probably embarrassed, but you should know she had like really bad stomach issues. She honestly might be puking right now," Riko lets out a little giggle at that, "It's so nasty. Well I bet she didn't tell you about her trust issues...she gets so jealous and clingy- oh here she comes," Riko finishes, plastering a fake smile.
Gojo turns around to see the once excited man now with an uncomfortable look on his face. Shit. He walks back to the table and sees your innocent face smiling. If only you knew. He watches as you reach your hand out to Kei only for him to withdrawal and look away from you. The pain he watched flash through your eyes he hopes to never see again. Turning to his right Riko still has her smirk on her face and drops it when you look at her. She shrugs her shoulders and pouts her lips at Kei's antics. Letting you know she doesn't know whats going on.
"I think it's best I go," Kei says, not even looking at you.
"is everything alright," You ask still throughly confused at his change in behavior.
"yeah, yeah..um, bye," at that he gives a curt wave and quickly exits the establishment. Gojo watches as your eyes begin to water at the sight and Riko quickly moves to "comfort" you.
"I really liked him," you whispered to no one in particular. Riko lets out small 'I know's as she pats your back. Gojo had seen Riko act like this once or twice, but he never really thought she did this on purpose. How could he date someone so cold.
That night while Riko was in the shower Gojo felt her phone buzz on her nightstand. 2 texts. One from you and one from an unsaved number. Checking to see if the bathroom door was fully shut he quickly opens Riko's phone to read the texts.
Y/N: He said he never wants to see me again :,(
××x-xxxx-xxxx: I booked us a hotel for this weekend ;)
×××-××××-××××: Wear the lingerie I like
Scrolling through the texts he sees photos and sexts sent between her and this mystery man, but he doesn't feel hurt. All he can think is how badly Riko fumbled. This dude's dick isn't even that big. Call him egotistical but he's the best anyone can get. Getting up Gojo walks to the bathroom door and cracks it open.
"Riko,"
"yeah," she calls back.
"when your done pack up your things and move out," He doesn't let her respond nor does he show any kind of pain in his voice. He shuts the door and begins his way to your place. Why was he with her anyway. He wasn't able to be his loud self around her.
Opening your door to see Gojo standing alone was a surpise to say the least. Why is he here and were is Riko. He takes off his sunglasses and his eyes flash you a look of sadness. As if he's reading your mind he says, "I broke up with Riko and there's a lot you should know,"
~~~~
"w-why would she do that?" you questioned after hearing everything Gojo has said. She ruined every good experience you had just for fun. "and why would she cheat on you?" Gojo watches as your eyebrows scrunched up in irritation and confusion. To him you looked like a cute little bunny, and he'd be lying if he claimed that he's never had a wet dream about you. Looking back he's cum more times at the thought of you then his own girlfriend.
Reaching over Gojo's thumb rubs between your eyebrows allowing your face to relax. Leaning in, he knows it's not the right time but who cares, he tells you, "you wanna know someone who never fell for Riko's bites at you," He watches as your eyes begin to water at the thought that your whole friendship was a lie.
"who?" you meekly ask staring into his enchanting eyes.
"me," he responds with a small smirk. His hand had moved down your face to start caressing your cheek, and his smirk holds something a little bit darker as he moves in to kiss you. His lips are soft as he kisses your top lip, then pulling away and kissing your bottom. You've known Gojo gets whatever he wants and now you understand why it's so easy for him. You swore your brain shut off as he kissed you. His free hand moved to your waist and attempts to pull you into his lap. Without thinking you straddle his muscular thighs still kiss him passionately. You feel Gojo's large hands make their way under your shirt and to the clip of your bra. You gasp as you feel him unclip the hook and eyes from one another.
Gazing up at you he quietly says, "there's something I've been craving for some time now, but it was kinda hard to satisfy my hunger".
"why?" you questioned, pulling back and srunching your eyebrows waiting for his response. Not realizing that the face your making has the blood flowing stright to his penis.
"What I was hungry for wasn't on the menu, but now it is," he smiles before he's flipping you onto your back. All you can see is white hair but you can feel his kisses trail from your face down to your neck, then over you clothes, and finally to the button of your jeans. He gives you a look that speaks 'can i?' before continuing. Nodding your head you lean your head back on the pillows and stare at the ceiling.
There's no way this is happening. Gojo, the Gojo Satoru is taking your pants off right now. Feeling the first tug you close your eyes hoping that this isn't a dream. The sound of your pants hitting the floor. His long hands spreading your legs a part. The feeling of his lips kissing up your thighs. It's all far to real to be a dream.
That first lick, the zap that ran up your body, your stomach sucking in at the shock. God, all it took was one lick for him to have your toes curling. No wonder he says he's the most powerful

hi, miss me :]?
Pairing: Rodolfo ‘Rudy’ Parra x Male reader
Tumblr media
Having nightmares in the time of war isn't common for you or anyone but it makes you and your sleep schedule harder to manage.
Sleeping wherever you can. I mean anywhere with a flat surface, you take the opportunity to rest your eyes even a few minutes to a few seconds before going for the next practice or going on a new mission. Maybe just lay on the couch and perish.
Until someone calls you up. To make you do work other than lay your ass on the couch. Of course.
Like you take every chance you can sleep even just with your eyes closed.
It's not really good for your health and you know it. Totally didn't bother you at all but it bothers someone, Rudy. Your love.
Rudy took notice of your sleep schedule ever since you tried to sleep anywhere you can. At first, he let it go. Because who doesn't have a sleepless night right? Well, kinda wrong. Yours is a little different. He couldn't tell if you're working too much or having too many nightmares. In any case, he'd try to help you.
Rudy's not a man who stands there and watches his lover struggle trying to get some sleep. He won't tell how he noticed it in the first place.
He just knows or maybe he knows you too well. Three years of dating each other. Of course he knows you.
Waking up from another nightmare, your body trembling from what's been chasing you, covered in sweat making you uncomfortable in your own clothes. Already lost count of how many times you had nightmares. However you get a sleepless night, again.
Yay. Not very good news, still. Yay.
Getting off of your bed is the next thing you do. Reaching the doorknob and starting to walk to the kitchen. Your only friend for the next hour. While walking to the kitchen, you passed Rudy's room. 
It got you thinking that you and him haven't talked much lately, Rudy may not be talkative like the other men did but when he's around his loved one. That's a whole different story. Like his teammate, Alejandro. They talked a lot on base and on their job. Maybe you and him don't have time for a little chat. It got busy a bit around here, in the military.
You missed him.
Already in the kitchen, you heard some noise coming from there. Seems like someone's having the same issue as you, walking into and there he is. Rudy.
"Someone having trouble sleeping?" looking at the man making some tea for his sleep, you assumed.
"Said someone who had trouble with nightmares multiple times." He only chuckled after hearing you mumble some words. "How did you know?" avoiding his gaze at your small figure, trying to be distracted by looking in the fridge.
"Mi amor, we've been dating for three years now. Of course I know you're having some nightmares, not some paperwork." Rudy walks over behind your figure, pulling you towards him with his hands around your waist. Moving his hand a bit, soothing you, giving some comfort and trying to make up the time you two have lost.
"You know, you can always tell me about it. I could help you." Rudy whispered enough for you to hear it.
"Didn't want to bother you while you were doing your job." Feeling his presence behind, you leaning your body against his. Finding some warmth from his body.
"I don't mind, especially helping you.." Rudy whispered again. Hoping you could let him help you this time. "Alright then.. if you insist. Let's see how you helped me" Now you're looking at Rudy, wondering what he would do to fix your sleeping problem.
"How about you settle in my room while waiting for me to make you some tea, then we can fix your sleeping problem." Rudy said, letting go of your waist then proceed to start making another cup of tea for you. "Sounds good, love?" He added. 
Kinda missed the warmth of his body against yours. "Yeah, sound- wait. I'll stay in your room until morning?" You questioned, not knowing if you misheard it or not. "Yes, or you don't want to stay in my room?" Rudy turns his body around facing you, leaning into the counter a bit. Waiting for the kettle to boil.
"Oh um, I don't want to bother-" He cuts you off. "Do you want to sleep in my room? With me. Yes or no, mi amor." Looking at the other figure, knowing what the answer would be yet, he's still asking.
All you did was nodded.
"I need words, love." Rudy demanded.
"Yes, I'd love to.." When you finished your words, the kettle boiled. Waiting to be poured into the cup with the tea bag inside. "Good, go to my room first, I'll be there in a minute." He praised you and went back to making some tea.
All you did was nod at his words, walk away from the kitchen and make your ways to Rudy's room.
Open the room door, there it is. The room has remained the same since the last time you walked in and still smell like Rudy. It feels nice being back here. Sitting on his bed, waiting for that man coming back with two cups in his hands.
And he did come back with it.
Grabbing one of the warm cups. "Careful, it's still hot." Rudy is now sitting next to you, drinking a bit from his cup. "Good?" All you did was nodding, too tired to say a word to him. "Alright, let's get you to sleep. I see that you're getting tired now." He then guided you down his bed. Feeling the comforts of your lover's bed as well as the warmth of Rudy's body temperature.
"Good?" You nodded at his words, flushed your face into his chest. Feeling sleepy with Rudy's hand rubbing your back. Knowing what is comforting you the best.
"Get some sleep now. Tomorrow will be a long day, mi amor." and that's all it takes for you to fall asleep in Rudy's arms.
Seems like today the nightmares you have won't bother you anymore.

You felt like your head was going to split with each memory. But… this was normal for you, believe or not. I guess it comes with the job. Or… did it just naturally come to you with your life?
You suppose so. Could you blame yourself for having these? Could you point fingers at yourself for causing these obstacles? You shouldn’t. It’s not like any of it was your fault, but there was no one here to tell you to not take the blame. No one to coddle you and tell you that everything will be alright.
.
You could still smell the smoke and feel the glass in your skin. Your whole world was sideways as you stared in shock and denial as the victims never moved.
“MOM! DAD!” You screamed, your lungs burning with fear as they never would be able to call back to you; To tell you that they’re okay and everything will be fine.
.
.
“No! Stop! IT HURTS!!” Your pleading sobs were on death’s ears as your Aunt continued pushing your head face down onto the table; Detest in her eyes. 
“After the stunt you pulled, there’s no way I want another mutant in this household.” She spat, letting the people she hired do their work as they started making an incision in the base of your neck.
You tried wiggling out their grasp but to no avail. “Please! It was an accident! I didn’t mean to!!”
.
.
You felt his hand touch your thigh after he kicked you in the dirt; His companions howling with laughter in the background. Like this situation you were brought into was the highlight of their week.
“Awe, baby girl. You’ve got to know your place or you ain’t going to be moving up.” One cooed, cupping your face with his hands, giving you enough view of the stars on his uniform. Certainly more than you have right now. 
You tried to crawl back, but the two other people present had blocked you from behind, busting a gut again. The other man’s hands were back on your face again, and he was chuckling too.
“Awe. Don’t worry, sweetheart. Just a little taste is all I need.” He slimed before smacking his lips over yours, ruining you.
.
.
It was stupid mistake.
You should have waited for your partner instead of running off on your own. 
You’re an idiot. You’re an idiot. You should have waited. You should have waited. You–
You honestly thought the universe would grant you this. To grant you a chance to catch the man you’ve been hunting for weeks, but…
No.
No. Now you’re laying on the ground, your spine feeling funny as you feel the pool of blood grow around your head.  
Damn it. You thought. You really thought you had this one in the bag as you started to fade to black just as your partner’s voice broke out into a scream.
.
.
“Pl-Please. Y-You have to let me go. I-I have to…” You croaked as your veins felt hot and bubbly, your mind started to buzz, and your eyes started to lose their natural color.
You kept begging and pleading but they wouldn’t listen. You know their criminals, and you know they deserve any kind of punishment but…
You don’t want a repeat of what happened in your childhood. You actually want to avoid hurting anyone again with your abilities, you–
But they started grabbing you and beating you, they started pulling at your limbs and clothes, spewing slurs and hate ‘cause you were the one with the shiny gold badge, you were the one that was supposed to bring them in. And they weren’t having it.
You continued to try to reason with them, feeling the buzzing getting louder and louder, and your fingertips started to glow red and–
They pulled you one last time, which was enough for everything to go haywire, which was enough for you scream an apology and you realize you were–
.
“NOOOO!!” You gasp awake, your hands frantically attacking the air. It took you always a couple seconds to realize where you were and that everything was just a dream a nightmare. Your adrenaline died down with your heart beat, your shaky breaths were cooling too. 
“A dream…” You pants, and lick your chapped lips. “Always a dream…”
Subconsciously, you touched the back of your neck feeling the scar. You were surprised you could still feel how prominent it is after all these years. Especially since maybe you deserved it being there.
You sighed with your eyes closing, taking a deep breath before deciding to look at the clock; Unfortunately realizing it was time to go to work.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You finished getting ready, packing up your bag while you waited for your toast to pop. You groaned at your appearance, you took note of the dark circles under your eyes when you passed by the cheap mirror you bought for yourself, and quickly strolled to your bathroom for some concealer. You did the best you could to look somewhat normal, washing your hands afterwards, and nearly dried off your hands on the costume you wore the other night.
You paused as you remember randomly putting it on before deciding you were going to kick your neighbour’s ass for hurting his wife. A stupid hoodie with cargo pants and a bandana you didn’t even realize you had. Not to mention that you did have some old mittens on that had to be tossed when you couldn’t get the blood off them (And trust me, you’ve tried every remedy out there).
To be honest, you were debating going out there after that night. Even though it felt… good… you weren’t sure how people in the public would feel if suddenly a vigilante decided to show up out of the blue. 
You frown, and almost left it.
Almost.
A split step outside the bathroom, and you had already made your mind up. “Oh, fuck it.” You mumbled and snagged it off your hook, rolling it up and stuffing it into your bag (along with the boots you wore that night). 
You grabbed your piece of toast and were ready for whatever work throws at you today.
And not that you were ready for any of this today.
When you finally entered the police department you immediately felt everyone’s surprised stare towards you. Every. Single. Person. They were all staring at you, not even trying to hide it. However, they weren’t surprised by the fact that you finally decided to come into work several days later, but by the fact that you were actually at work. You could tell that they were surprised that you were still… well…
Alive.
I guess they really thought that this ‘Kingpin’ was going to get you.
Cowards. You were scared of nothing. You kept a straight face as you walked past everyone who was still gawking at you like a zoo animal. You somehow managed to keep your cool even when Grimm came running up next to you.
“L-Lieutenant! You’re okay!” He spewed out, looking and sounding like was actually worried (Was he?). “We were wondering if you–”
You throw up the bird and give him a cold glare. “Fuck off, Grimm.” You reply, and exited the area for the locker rooms in the back. But as you were passing by, a man next to the water fountain caught your attention.
“Lieutenant, huh?” His voice raspy and low, almost like he was giving up and fighting at the same time. “You wouldn’t happen to be the new girl, are you?”
You pause your movement to get a good look at him. A man, who you assumed was just a bit older than you, stood about five-eleven with dark hair with the sides shaved, and had a nasty looking scar over his right eye. You took notice of the pack of cigarettes in his hand and how wrinkled his clothes were. 
Interesting.
“That would be.” You said, keeping your guard up in case this was another asshole. You watched him as he checked you out head-to-toe before chuckling quietly.
“Huh. So that would make you my new partner.” He said, with a bit of amusement.
Now it was your turn to act surprised. “Wait… you’re Castle?”
“That’ll be me.” He shifts his stance towards you and holds his calloused hand out. “Captain Frank Castle.”
You shook it. “Detective Y/N L/N.” 
“You introduce yourself as Detective?”
“I like it that way. Gives me… a more mysterious vibe.”
He snorts, his lips quirking up into a smile. “I like you already. See, I prefer Captain. Gives me… a sense of dominance when I’m out in the field.”
You tilt your head, playing coy. “Well, I can certainly see that.”
“Hmm. Sassy. You remind me of someone I know.” His smile fades a little before standing straighter, shoving the pack of cigarettes into his pocket.
“Hopefully that’s a good thing.” You reply, smirking.
“Maybe…”
“Yo! Castle!” A cop said from down the hall. “Boss wants a word with you. Now!”
Frank sighs, throwing his head back. “Ah, our bastard Commander needs a word. Fun.” He said, blowing one last puff of air before putting out the bud on the water fountain, littering. “We’ll catch up later, kid.”
Kid? You raised an eyebrow at him as he watched him walk away. The man that was officially your partner. The man that’ll have to be your mentor for a while. The man that…
.
.
.
Seemed just as messed up as you are.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You weren’t even at the station for an hour when Grimm suddenly appeared next to you, scaring the living hell out of you. “Jesus, man.” You reply, nearly spilling your coffee. “What?”
“So what did he make you do?” He asked, a mixture of worriedness and curiosity (a very odd but seemingly dangerous mix you do say so yourself).
“What?”
“What did he make you do?” He repeated, making you bat your eyes at him, puzzled. 
“Who? Our Commander? Or Castle?” You asked, because you were not following. “Frankly, I haven’t really spoke much to any of them, except–”
“No, no, not them. Him.”
“Who’s ‘him’?”
“You know… the big boss.” Grimm subtly looked around before whispering, “The Kingpin.”
You scoffed immediately. “What made you think he made me do something?” You asked, watching him get taken back by your answer.
“W-Well, you’re… alive, So I thought–”
You sigh, and start walking back towards your desk with him on your heels. “What makes you think I wasn’t alive?”
“Well, we didn’t see you for a couple days. So we thought–”
“I wasn’t feeling it. And besides, I told you, I ain’t following this… ‘program’ unless he comes face-to-face and tells me himself. I don’t want any of his goons coming and telling me to do something.”
“B-But–” Grimm speeds up so he’s slightly ahead of you. “That’s how he does business. He rarely makes an actual appearance. He–”
“Then I ain’t doing anything that’s not an order from my Commander.” You said, picking up the speed as well, hoping to get away from him and end the discussion (or at least see if he takes the hint). You start taking a sip of your drink, but unexpectedly, he knocks it out of your hands, letting it fall to the floor. You looked at him in disbelief just as he grabbed you by the shoulders.
“Lieutenant, listen to me. If you don’t accept the program, bad things are going to happen. And since, it sounds like you’re all alone in your life, there will be no blackmail, only death.” Grimm explained, and his hands started trembling at the thoughts he was thinking. “I-I could, or a-anyone here, could reach out to him; We can ask him to give you an assignment instead of accepting and waiting for an invitation. We can just–”
You threw his hands off of you, giving him the cold glare from earlier. “I’m going across the street for a new coffee. I’ll be back.” You start walking away once more. “Or maybe I should just bring a whole case of booze for myself, seeing how this day’s already turning out.”
You felt everyone’s eyes on you again as you started leaving the precinct. And of course, the little leech that had attached itself to you was still following you, even to the outside world.
He stops on top of the stairs, shouting, “You have to accept the program, L/N! It’s the only guarantee that everything will be alright here!”
You growled under your breath as you turned around. “Will you shut the fuck up already?! I ain’t accepting shit unless he tells me himself!” You watched as he shuttered, and everyone passing by looked at you like a madman. “What are you all looking at?! Do your own fucking jobs and stop worrying about mine!”
That seemed to do the trick, as they all disbanded, heading back inside to mind their own business. You groaned and closed your eyes while running a hand through your hair, just thinking. You can’t believe this shit was still going on. I mean, you should have expected it, but you were holding onto a slimmer of hope that everything was going to be a-okay.
Jesus, Why can’t they leave me–
“You changed your name.” A voice creeped up from behind you, feeling the air get knocked out of you. Trying to not look so startled as your head whips around, looking down the stairs. That voice sounded… what exactly?
You were met with, in your opinion, a very handsome looking man, probably around your age; Nicely combed chestnut colored hair with a pair of red shades, complementing the slick black, neatly pressed suit he had on. He looked like a man ready for business.
Even though he was kind of captivating to look at, you just continued to stare as your brain processed everything that he just said. 
And It did take you a minute to finally understand why he sounded familiar, a memory buried just beneath the surface of your delegate mind.
You blinked, slowly putting it together, finally stringing the courage to say–
“...Matthew… Matthew Murdock?” You asked, still unsure. 
He chuckles softly, flashing those pearly whites. “That would be me.”
Your eyes widened with shock as you took a step down towards him. “Oh my… oh my god. I didn’t think… I didn’t think I’d see you again. Your–” You trail off when you finally notice the cane he was holding. Though, it was not just any regular cane that anyone could have. 
Cane and shades. Oh my god, he’s–
He strangely sensed what you were looking at, and gave you a bittersweet look. “I know I look different since the last time we’ve seen each other.” 
Your face flushed with embarrassment. “Oh, I-I didn’t mean–”
“No, no. I know. I get it. Um…” He shifts his weight around, copying with your own feelings. “Are you… free to get some coffee?”
“Coffee? Um…” You shake your head when you even give your job another thought, and smile. “Sure. I’d love to.”
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
“So…” You were trying to figure out how to start this conversation as you both leave the cafe, drinks in hand. “How… How’ve you been? Since it’s been, um…”
“So…” You were trying to figure out how to start this conversation as you both leave the cafe, drinks in hand. “How… How’ve you been? Since it’s been, um…”
Wait. How long has it been? You thought, racking your brain which he seemed to have read.
“Twenty years? Give or take.” He said, with a small smile.
You gasp under your breath. “Jesus, it’s really been that long?”
“It sure has.” He said, a sadness in his undertone. “Um… I’ve been good. I can’t complain.”
You smile softly. “Well, that’s good to hear, Matt–” You shake your head again. “Uh, Matthew. Not, Matt, I uh–”
He chuckles. “You can call me Matt, Y/N. No need to be formal.”
“I can?” You asked, and he nodded. You sigh. “I’m sorry, I’m just… trying to get used to this feeling again. Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. I get it.” He grins just like you remember from your childhood. “When you do get used to it, should I… call you ‘Peaches’ again?”
“Don’t you fucking dare!” You teased immediately, and pointed. “That name’s embarrassing.” 
“Why? I think it’s adorable.”
“Not in the way I got it!”
“So you confused it for another fruit, I think it should still hold up.”
“I was four! You big tease.” You both had arrived at a crosswalk, and subconsciously you grabbed onto his arm for him to stop. You quickly realized what you did, completely embarrassed.
Way to make it awkward, Y/N!! 
“Shit, sorry! I-I shouldn’t have grabbed onto you like that!” You said, as you try to iron out the wrinkle on his sleeve you made.
“It’s okay, Y/N. I’m used to people grabbing me like that.” He says, truthfully. “My friend Foggy helps string me along all the time.”
You raised an eyebrow. “I’m sorry… Foggy? Please tell me that’s–”
He holds his hand up. “It’s a nickname. He’s my old college roommate who snores like a foghorn.”
“Oh, thank goodness. I was about to say. Who names their kid that?”
He laughs. “Foggy probably would.”
“What’s his real name?”
“Franklin. Nelson.” Matt says as they start crossing the street.
“Franklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson.” You tilt your head at him. “So an old roommate?”
“Roommate, friend, and partner. We’re attorneys.” He clears up after feeling your confused stare on him. “We started our own law firm.”
You looked at him in awe. “Really? You’re a lawyer?”
“Yep.”
“Wow. That’s amazing. Just like your Mother.” You missed how his face fell as you thought of the beautiful brunette woman, always dressed like a goddess in your young eyes (She also made the best pie you’ve ever eaten). You smile at the memory, as the two of you get to the other side. “How is Maggie, by the way?”
“She’s…” You could feel how tense the air had become. “Passed away.”
You nearly stopped in your tracks, the wind getting knocked out of you. “Oh, shit. I’m sorry I didn’t know.” You sigh. “Jeez, I am really fucking up today, aren’t I?”
“You didn’t know though.” He points out as you shake your head.
“I know, I know, but still.” 
Times like this I wish I had telepathy as a power. 
You took a moment to process this before deciding to carefully test the waters. “Do you mind me… asking how it happened?”
“Not at all.” He replies, sadly. “Uh, car accident. Same one that blinded me.”
“Jesus. I’m so sorry, Matt.”
“It’s okay. She had a good life. I can dwell too much on what happened.” He stops and points with his stick. “Uh, here it is.”
You look up at the office building, a few signs lingering in the front to show what’s there. Of course your eyes beeline to the one you were looking for. “Nelson and Murdock: Attorneys at Law.” You read aloud, not hiding your smile. “Not bad, Mr. Attorney.”
“Please, Attorney’s fine.” He joked, sensing your happiness.
“Wow.” You look back at it and then back at him again, wondering, “Can I see?”
He seems taken back by it, but happily obliges. “Uh, of course.” He gestures to the door. “Head up the stairs, second on the left.”
You curiously head inside as he follows you, letting you lead until he has to unlock the door. Once you are inside, color yourself impressed by it. Now, it’s not the fanciest law office you’ve ever seen or been in, but it was definitely something you could rant about.
You whistle slowly, nodding in excitement. “Whoa. Sweet place.” You said, spinning back around to him.
“I don’t think it’s that luxurious.” Matt said, letting you walk around.
“Why not? I mean, sure, it’s small, but not a lot of people who start their own business would get something like this. It’s amazing.” 
He quirks a smile. “I guess. Still could’ve got something better.”
“And how would you do that?” You raise an eyebrow with a teasing look. “You won the lottery and haven’t told Foggy yet?”
“Something like that…” He shifts his weight over, looking slightly uncomfortable. “Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot.” You reply, tossing your empty cup away, listening.
“Why did you change your name?”
You paused. “Hmm?”
“What’s with L/N?” He asked, confused. “What happened to Maximoff?”
Your heart sank. You didn’t expect him to realize so soon. “Uh…”
Suddenly the door opens to a bubbly blond man. “Matt, you’re here. We have a client who’s urgently coming over here– or is that her?” He looks puzzled, holding his head. “I swear it was a man on the phone…”
“Oh, I’m not a client.” You said, shaking your head. 
“Foggy, this is Y/N. I ran into her this morning.” Matt replies, gesturing towards you with his walking stick.
“Y/N?” His hazel eyes widened. “Wait, like… Y/N? As in your childhood friend?” Foggy asked, with a grin.
“You… talked about me?” You said, looking over at Matt who seemed almost embarrassed by that.
“Oh, Matty here wouldn’t shut up about you.” Foggy steps closer holding out his hand that you take. “Foggy Nelson.”
“Y/N L/N.”
“Pleasure to meet you, Miss. So what brings you here? I remember Matt saying something like, ‘you moved many years ago’.”
“Yeah, actually. Why are you back here?” Matt asked, curiously. “‘Cause I’m pretty sure you’re not here on a vacation.”
“Uh…” You cleared your throat, nervously. “You would be correct. I… I was on a job, I’m a detective, and I kind of… messed a very tiny thing up that my superior lost his shit on; Instead of demoting me, my punishment was to relocate back here.”
Foggy whistles slowly. “Damn. What did you do?”
“I’m… still not hundred percent sure about that myself.” You shrugged. “I still think it wasn’t a big deal.”
A laugh. “Well, Thank you for being honest, Miss L/N.”
“Please, Y/N’s fine, Mr. Nelson.”
“And please call me, Foggy. Mr. Nelson was my father.”
You snort, and lightly elbow Matt in the arm. “Oh, I like him. I can see why you attached yourself to him.”
“Are you kidding?” Foggy scoffed playfully. “I’m the one who attached myself to him.”
Matt grins, following along. “Well, I can’t exactly see what got attached to me.” 
“Oh, you’ve got blind jokes now, too?” You asked, not surprised. 
“Of course, what else would I do?”
“Was he a smartass like this when you were kids?” Foggy asked, making you nod eagerly. 
“Oh, yeah. You have no idea.” You reply, honestly. You remember Matt always being a bit of smart ass, even at a young age. A quick look at your watch told you it was time. “I know you have a client coming, so I should probably take my leave.”
“You sure?” Foggy asked, sounding disappointed. “You could pretend to be our secretary.”
You laugh. “I would love to play pretend, but I’m technically still on the clock. So…”
“Awe. I just met you and I want you to stay.”
“It’s not like she’s disappearing again, Foggy.” Matt says, before shifting in your direction. “Right?”
“I promise I won’t disappear again.” You smile. “Uh, well… you know where I work. Come by anytime.”
“Will do.” 
You take your leave, and as soon as they don’t hear your footsteps, Foggy faces his friend with the biggest, cartoonish look on his face.
“I can practically hear you grinning.” Matt said, hearing him skip towards him like a kid.
“Oh, come on!” Foggy says, bouncing on the balls of his feet. “I don’t need super hearing like you to see she was flustered. I think you might be leaning away from the childhood friend zone, Matt.”
“Foggy, I haven’t seen her since I was nine. Maybe she was just happy to see me too.
“Okay, again, don’t need super hearing to tell you’re lying. Besides, you’re Matthew Murdock; The guy who somehow picks out all the pretty women wherever he goes.”
“And… how would I know if Y/N’s beautiful?”
“I don’t know. You describe her as being cute.”
“Yeah, and I was saying that from a nine year old’s point of view.” Matt points out, hearing him sigh. Although, the quietness didn’t last long when he admits that his curiosity has peaked. “What does she look like now?”
Foggy grins again, slinging his arm over his shoulder. “Okay! She’s gotten taller, Obviously. She was wearing a white blouse with a black blazer and pants, very professional looking.” He explains as his friend listens along. “Uh, she still had (Y/H/C) colored hair, which was tied up in a messy bun, and had a few strands in her face, probably from this weather. Uh, you know, (Y/E/C) eyes, uh, some makeup, but not too much. Just the right amount. Uh–”
Matt chuckles. “You’re really going into this one.” He tilts his head playfully. “Shall I set up a date?”
Foggy lightly swats him in the arm. “Can it.” He says, before looking quite prideful of himself. “I, my dear friend, am a happily married man. I think Marci might throw me off the roof If I did.”
“And probably stage it like an accident.”
“Exactly.” He points and sits down in one of the chairs. “I love her too much to do that. But you, on the other hand, don’t have to hesitate.” Foggy points out as his friend sighs. “Come on, Matt. What’s the harm in it? What are you afraid of? Your disability? Your heightened senses? ‘Cause I don’t think she’s going to care about either of those.”
“She’s going to care about something…” Matt mumbles, making the blond perk up.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Foggy hums and straightens up. “Well, if it’s not going to be a date, you can at least invite her out to the bar on Thursday with us. Because I deserve to know about your childhood.”
Matt raises an eyebrow. “I’ve told you about my childhood.” 
“Yeah, but I want it from her point of view. You know–” He shrugs. “Maybe you left out some embarrassing details?”
He laughs and shakes his head. “Okay, let’s get that paperwork ready for our client, alright?” 
Foggy sighs, playfully. “Fine. Party pooper.” He whines, and then smiles. “But seriously, drinks with her, por favor?”
“I guess I can.” Matt said, admitting defeat as his friend shoots his hands in the air, standing up from his chair towards the printer.
“Thank you!” He sings, getting a laugh…
And a very subtle…
Frown.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You shut the locker you were using loudly before carefully making sure everything was still inside (You still weren’t sure who could even trust in this place). Once you saw everything is, you slung your bag over your shoulder and exited the room, surprised to find your new partner just outside like on repeat.
“Captain?” You said, confused (You wondered if he needed something, or maybe you two finally had a case together).
“Detective.” Frank said, after a puff from his cigarette. “Where’d you run off to this evening?”
“Just some fresh air.” You reply, shocked that he didn’t even sound mad. “Plus, I… ran into someone I knew. Decided to catch up.”
“Hmm. I get it. It can get suffocating here.” His dark eyes trailed down from your face, looking deep in thought (It was starting to make you nervous).
“Captain?” 
“Your badge is all twisted in your collar.” 
You didn’t even get the chance to look at it yourself before he was leaning in close and started fixing it himself. You stood stiff and confused, not sure what to even say or do. And you really weren’t sure what to do when you suddenly felt his lips by your earlobe.
What is he–
“The walls have ears.” He whispers, making you quietly gasp. You watch him pull away with a smile, and then loudly say, “Want to come with me to the vending machine?”
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You trained yourself to relax, realizing that you officially know now that someone in the building was watching and eavesdropping on you. You had to act like you were completely unaware of anything, just like you have been since you started here. You stood next to Frank as he was acting like he was trying to decide what he wanted as he started speaking quietly to you.
“I can tell you’re not in the program.” Was the first thing he said, surprising you once again.
“How can you tell?” You asked, also looking preoccupied.
“‘Cause you don’t look scared to death when someone starts talking to you.”
“I could say the same thing about you.”
“Well…” His frown comes and goes on his face. “Hate to break it to you, but I am.”
You let the shock hit your face before washing it away. “You accepted it?” You asked, as he nodded. You couldn’t even believe it. “Why? And what did they make you do?”
“I had to.” Frank admitted. “I needed to prove myself to the… cause.”
“What did you do?”
He glances at you for a second. “I killed the cop that went against the program’s orders.” He must have seen the way you paled because he apologized. “Sorry. But I didn’t enjoy it if that’s what you’re wondering. I’m just trying to stop all this bullshit.”
“Stop?” You asked, intrigued. 
“Yeah. Like it should have all those years ago.” 
“What do you mean?”
“There was a different Kingpin who ran the city years ago. His name was Wilson Fisk, and unlike the new one, he showed the world who he was; He wasn’t afraid of anything or anyone. Until… something or someone slipped up, and he was finally charged for all his crimes.”
“Weird.”
“Yeah. The public thought it was all over, and they still do. They don’t even realize that another person has claimed the throne of the underworld. Except us on the task force.”
You inhale sharply. “Jesus.”
“Yeah.” He mutters, not even hiding his frown. “Listen, Detective. I’ve read your file and color me impressed; Like, really fucking impressed. You’ve done some amazing things in your career.”
Your heart flutters at the compliment. “Thanks.” However you couldn’t help but wonder what if he was aiming at something else. “But…?”
“But… there will be consequences if you don’t expect the program.”
You scoffed quietly. “So I’ve been told.”
“And you should take it to heart, Kid.” He said, sincerely. “Look, I admire your… hard headedness, and I’ll try to support your decision as much as I can, ‘cause you’re my partner. But you’re going to face the worst of the worse. You’re going to have verbal and physical threats, your job’s going to get tougher, and you’re probably going to have people try to kill you.”
“So I’ve been told.” You said again, making him grow quiet. 
Very quiet. You could almost sense the–
“I might have to kill you.” 
And then your eyes widened again, this time, your fear really showed. You saw that Frank seemed uncomfortable by what he said (and could you even blame him?).
“I’m your partner, I’m going to be the closest person to you while you’re working here, so it’s highly likely. And I really don’t want to.” Frank meets your gaze, guilt inside his orbs. “But I have a family, Kid. If it comes down to a choice, I’m going to have to choose them over you. You understand?”
You nod slowly. “I understand.”
“Good.” He decides to finally pick what he wanted out of the machine, finishing with, “Just consider everything I said. Because I want to work with you, you seemed like a good fit for me; And I want you to be by my side if we take this guy down.” He reaches down to grab the candy, handing it over to you with a smile. “I’ll see you around.”
You take it in your grasp, watching him leave the room with his work façade on and airtight. Now you were left with all your emotions swirling, leaving you to think everything over rapidly.
I wonder how many people are like Frank. Would I be the same way if I still had my family? It hurts you think about it, but who wouldn’t in a situation like this?
You glanced down at your bag.
.
.
.
That once glance is what you needed to make your choice.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
Dawning the all black attire once more, you walked along the dark parts of the city, keeping your eyes peeled and ears open for anything useful. But after a few hours out into the night, you almost headed home in defeat until you caught wind of something.
You carefully walked down the steps of the fire escape, looking down at what was the backdoor of a bodega, open, and two people having a tense conversation. You say the shop owner, a guy your age, talking to someone who you deemed shady. 
“Where’s the rest?” The shady man asked after rummaging through a duffle back that he handed. 
“T-That’s all of it.” The shop keeper said.
“That can’t be all of it. You’re low this month.”
“W-Well profits have been down, so–”
“That’s no excuse.” The shady man grabs him by the collar (which was the last straw in your eyes). “My boss ain’t going to like that.”
“I-I don’t know what you want me to do! I don’t have any–”
You finally dropped to the ground, startling them. The shady man tries to hide his fear by putting up a tough look. “Who the fuck are you?” He sneered, right before you blasted him into the door.
“Get inside.” You told the shopkeeper, which he wastes no time to do. You walked closer and kneeled before the man who was groaning in pain. “So you like to steal money from the innocent. Why?”
He peaked his eyes open, gritting through his teeth. “Who–” Then he sighs. “Oh, you’re a masked… woman? I’m letting a woman beat me?”
“You sure are, buddy.” You snagged his hand just as he started reaching for his gun, and used your strength to apply pressure. “I’ll leave you be if you just answer my question.” You squeezed more getting a peep out of him. “Why are you taking his money?”
“Ugh, c-cause my Boss owns this block, he gets half of the businesses to pay for their protection.”
“So they pay you so you can protect them?”
“Yes!”
“Do you?”
“I don’t know, I’m just the messenger– Ah!!”
You twisted in the opposite direction, making him wiggle under your grasp. “Who’s your Boss? The Kingpin?”
“The Kingpin? Fuck no! I-I mean, we partner with him, but we don’t directly talk to him unless it’s something serious– Ow!”
Interesting. So they’re independent? Or, they believe they’re independent? You have put that information on the backburner for now.
“So who’s your Boss?” You asked, as he shakes his head.
“I ain’t telling you that!”
“Alright then, who’s the Kingpin?”
“He’s–” Then he froze which got you interested.
“Oh, so you know stuff about him? Well that’s perfect.” You use your other hand to pin him to the door. “Tell me everything.”
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
With just a few pieces of information, it was enough to get you going. Enough to start doing what you thought was necessary. Over the next few weeks, your little night job caught the eyes of the public. What started off with just one newspaper flooded into more. Soon you saw the silhouette picture of you everywhere you go (Might seem a little narcissistic, but you kind of felt a rush from it). But… not everyone felt great about your appearance. What started off with a phone call from one of his men, pleading him to turn on the tv, soon fueled his rage. 
The Kingpin, The God of the Underworld, The Western Sun of The Hand, listened intensely to everything the news reporter is saying.
[More Vigilantes? Looks like Queens isn’t the only one having a masked hero, looks like one decided to spawn in our neck of the woods. Nicknamed ‘The Masked Man’ has been helping out our rougher parts, and bringing rightful criminals to justice. This week alone, ten wanted men from a local gang have been placed on the steps of a few police stations. Although authorities are grateful that they’ve been brought in, just like what happened with Queens’ Ghost-Spider, they’re still hesitant against this new helper. But of course, the public have a different opinion, and are praising this new hero with gratitude. Up next, we have–]
The Kingpin clenches his fists with bitterness, and grits through his teeth with, “Those fucking idiots.”
Why didn’t any of them tell him that this was happening frequently? Or that this was happening at all? Why did he have to find out through a goddamn news station? 
He could tell his men on the other side of the phone was doing his best not to tremble as he spoke,
[‘Do you want us to see if we can draw him out, Sir?]
“Not yet. I have somewhere to be, and I want to meet this person myself. So, wait for my orders.”
[‘Yes, Sir. Enjoy your night.’]
He hung up the phone, tossing it onto his desk as he let out a heavy sigh. One that was loud enough to make his friend crack a joke as he waltzed in.
“Whoa. What did the desk do to you?” Foggy jokes, getting a snort as a reply.
“Oh, I could make a list.” Matt quips back with a smile.
“Well, if you’re caught up with the news, our last client just left. Which means, we can finally go get drinks!” Foggy starts spinning on his heels for the exit. “Come on! She’s supposed to meet us there! You can’t keep a lady waiting.”
“Of course.” Matt calls out, turning the tv off. The next words could be chilling to anyone that wasn’t his friend. And that was…
.
.
.
“What kind of gentleman would I be?”
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
The three of you clink your glasses and yell, “Cheers!”
“Y/N, I’m glad you could finally make it to our weekly outing.” Foggy replies, chirpy as usual (You could see now how he attached himself to Matt).
“Thank you for the invitation, again. I’m sorry I’m…” You chuckled. “Week’s late. Work’s been pinning me down like crazy.”
“Have you had any cases?” Matt asked, curiously.
“Uh… not really. It’s more like stopping a few robbers, and just going over cold cases. But then we got short staff last week, and somehow I got stuck being a traffic cop. I haven’t been one of those since the academy.”
“Do you miss San Francisco?” Foggy asked, as you shrugged.
“Eh, sometimes. I mean, I liked the people I work with; I miss my old partner Max the most. But my new one, Frank, he’s pretty good, a little lazy sometimes, but still good.”
“So what made you want to be a detective?”
“Is this twenty questions now?” Matt asked, tongue and cheek.
“What?” Foggy said, looking between the two. “I’m just curious. You can’t tell me you’re not.”
“Well, uh—”
“Yeah, he’s curious. Please tell us, Y/N.”
You laugh at their shenanigans, reminding you of your youth. “Uh, let’s see.” You start racking your brain on the reason why. “Honestly… it kind of just happened. I saw it on one of those career guides in my last year of high school and I just went with it. Part of me just thought it sounded cool, and the other part of me just likes the idea of helping someone.”
“Huh.” Foggy takes her answer in dearly. “That’s interesting.”
Another laugh. “I guess.”
“One more question.”
“Shoot.”
“Being in the law enforcement, you know, as someone who has to… uphold the law. How do you feel about these vigilantes in New York? Because–” He points to himself. “I think they’re doing the right thing, despite… ‘breaking’ the law so to speak. Now, Matt on the other hand–” He points to the blind man. “Slightly disagrees with me.”
“Oh, really?” You asked, intrigued. 
“I…” Matt begins, shifting in his seat. “Just want to make sure the right guy pays.”
“Huh.” You take that in, storing it away. “Well, it doesn’t really bother me. As long as they’re helping and not hurting the right people, I can side with them.”
“See?” Foggy said, looking in his friend’s direction and slapped him on the shoulder.  “I’m not crazy. And this is coming from a detective of all people.” He sighs blissfully. “Although, my only criticism is, the media needs a better name for this person. Masked Man ain’t cutting it.”
“And what would you call this person? Ghost-Spider 2.0?” Matt asked, interested now (And so were you).
“No, no. This person isn’t a copycat. They need something cool, something, maybe sinister? I mean, have you read one of the reports that say that the person had glowing red eyes? Or that another report said that they swear they fly? So it has to be kind of the nose here. Like… Red Angel, no! Red Devil! Or… Devil Man! Or… uh…”
“Like… Daredevil.” You said, the word clicking in your head. That seemed to get him really excited as he looked like a child in a toy store.
“That’s it! Daredevil! That’s perfect.” He gasps. “Maybe I should have that idea sent somewhere.”
“Daredevil.” You tested, almost getting butterflies from in. “I like it.”
“Oh, I know. It’s perfect.”
You hummed happily. “Alright, enough about a complete stranger. How about the two of you? How did you guys decide to become lawyers?”
Matt hums, thinking. “I guess… mine was kind of just heritage.” He admits, implying his mother’s legacy.
“Well, my mom wanted me to be a butcher, but I told her ‘no’.” Foggy replies, making you tilt your head, confused.
“A butcher?” You asked, as Matt groans.
“Oh, you just opened a can of worms, Y/N.” He says, confusing you more.
“Why?”
Then Foggy claps his hands together, startling you a bit. “Oh, my deary, this is a tale I must tell everyone. But first, I’m hungry. I’m going to buy nachos for the table. Be right back.”
And then he left, and it wasn’t even a second later when the suspense was broken. “You know, if he’s too much, I can make an excuse for you to leave.” Matt half heartedly jokes.
“No, no, I like Foggy.” You smile his way. “I’m glad you both have each other. He seems good for you.”
“You sound almost jealous.”
Yeah, well… maybe?
“Well, let’s be real, Matt, I’m not exactly the same kid I was when I left.” You say, honestly.
“Oh come on, you can’t have changed that much.”
“You have no idea.”
He hums again, leaning closer. “Well, I guess that could imply me as well.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
You scoot closer too. “Well… we can just try starting over?”
“Oh, yeah?” He tilts his head. “What about picking up where we left off? Slowly figuring out the missing pieces, Peaches?”
“Oh,yeah? Mr… Bratty-Matty?”
“Oh… Bratty-Matty? You really were a sly kid–” His fingers brush over your. “Weren’t you?”
You chuckle, your heart fluttering. “Maybe…”
“Maybe?” He repeats, then his blank gaze looks away from you. “I can hear Foggy coming back.”
You look up to confirm it. “Yeah, he is.” Which you were kind of sad about.
Seemingly reading your mind, he said, “Hey? If you’re free in the next few days, do you want to catch up? Just you and me?”
You smile, cheeks feeling red. “Yeah. I’d love that.”
“Perfect.”
He removes his hand just as Foggy came back, only for you to grab it under the table. You felt him squeeze back, and start listening to the blond man’s tale about how he became a lawyer.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
“Sure you don’t want us to walk you home?” Foggy asked, as they all stood outside on the curb, a cab pulling in front of them.
“I’m like one block this way. I’ll be okay.” You said, smiling. “But thanks anyway.”
“Nice seeing, Y/N.” Matt said, as he started folding up his walking stick.
“You too.” You watch them start getting in before blurting out, “Hey, Matt?” You get his attention. “Call me.” That makes him smile, and Foggy cheers on.
“Ooooh.” 
“Alright, get in the cab, Nelson.” Matt said, getting in himself.
“Bye, Y/N.”
You wave them goodbye before walking away. Hands in your pocket, and a new pep in your step, you strolled the sidewalk without a care in the world.
I can’t wait to meet him again. You felt like a teenager again with your little highschool crushes. 
I wonder what Matt looked like as a teenager? It still saddens you that you lost touch with him all those years back. You always wonder happened to him and why he stopped writing.
Was it because of the accident? Or was it something else? You shake your head.
I’ll just have to ask him next time. Hmm? You stopped your movements in front of a store that you haven’t yet explored, and read the sign before getting an idea.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You plopped the stuff you grabbed onto the counter, everything between some new fabric scraps to some spray paint. You look around nonchalantly as the cashier, who looks like he’s done with this place, starts ringing everything up. You occasionally tuned in on the beeping and the sound of the plastic bag opening before he decided to strike up a conversation.
“You going to comic con or something?”
“Hmm?”
“You going to comic con?” He repeats, and you shake your head.
“No.” You raise an eyebrow. “What makes you say that?”
“The materials you’re buying suggest that you’re making something. A costume?”
You smile, prideful. “Something like that.”
And you could already picture that you weren’t going to be sleeping tonight.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
The trembling, beat up goon, kneeled with his head on the floor in front of the man dressed in a blood red suit, a cane shielding the blade everyone saw him use.
“Speak.” Matt hissed, everyone holding their breaths when he spoke.
“I-I swear, this person literally looked like the devil! I-It had horns and c-could fly!” The man shook with every word, biting his lip as he awaited an answer.
“A devil?”
“Y-Yes! A devil! I-It took out the whole truck! Beat up all our guys! Pushed the weapons into the Hudson!”
Matt furrows his brows. “Pushed them into the Hudson? How? Those crates are almost a ton. How is that possible?”
“It’s got some kind of superpower! The whole truck was engulfed in red before being pushed in with a wave of its hand! I s-swear! I’m telling you the truth, my King!”
With a wave of the hand? Matt clenched his can, and anyone could see how angry he was now.
“Sir? What do you want us to do?” Someone behind him asked, and it was no brainer what he wants to do; He’s thought about time and time again.
“Do we still have some of those hallucination vials on hand?” Matt asked, hearing him nod.
“Yes, Sir. We should have a case of them lying around.”
“Good. Get ready.”

Hii is it alright to request Mori Ogai x fem reader when reader works for ADA and they had meeting with Port Mafia. Reader is dating Mori more than a year now and Mori wanted to tell everybody that he is dating reader bur reader was scared bc of reactions of Ada members so on the meeting Elise called reader Mom/Mommy and than she needed to explain everything, can you add that Ada had bad reaction and reader went with Port mafia so after some time they came to port mafia building (Fukizawa too) to apologize but reader stayed in port mafia but would go to spend some time with them in ada
Thanks for your request!
'•.¸♡ A secret told ♡¸.•'
Mori x fem!reader fluff Masterlist Enjoy!
Tumblr media
You were just about to leave when your boyfriend stopped you by placing a hand around your waist and pulling you in for a kiss. 'See you at the meeting dear, oh that reminds me, I think we should tell the detecitve agency about our relationship already, don't you?' Mori asked. 'I know we should but... I don't think they will react well, how about giving it some more time, hm?' you replied. You had been dating mori for over a year now but you were always scared of telling the armed detective agency knowing they would react poorly to you dating the boss of their enimy oranisation.
Mori replied with a short sigh and bid you goodbye before you left.
The doors to the port mafia meeting hall had opened widly, welcoming each of the member to enter the room. A long table stood in front of you all and everyone sat down in an apropiate spot. The half at which Fukuzawa sat was the side at which the angency sat while the other half was reserved for the port mafia. All the seats had guests sitting at them exept two at the top, Mori and Elise were late, this irrated Kunikida (who sat at the closed seat to Fukuzawa on his right hand side) but he tried not to show it and be respectful to the late hosts.
The large doors opened once more to reveal Mori and Elise, they walk to their designated seats while appologising to their guests for being late making up an excuse in the midst of their apology. Mori pulled elise's seat for her to sit down but her little eyes scaned the room till they focused on you. 'Mommy!' she screamed while running up to you and giving you a big hug round your shoulders. The whole room turned to face you, everyone looking as puzzled as the next, with some exeptions. Fukuzawa asked in a calm but sturn voice 'y/n, why did eise call you her mother?' You could feel your face become warmer by the second as you started to explain that you were in a relationship with Mori and Elise liked calling you her "mommy".
It's safe to say the agency members were not happy, they all look with disapointment and anger in their eyes. The subject of the meeting was digused rather quickly. Before leaving you had a talk with Fukuzawa, you asked to resighn. 'I think that would be best.' He replied and left, leaving you behind without even a goodbye, they all had left without a word, it hurt but now you could be with your lover.
You spoke with Mori and he proposed a position in the port mafia which you accepted without a second thought, you would now work with the port mafia on one condition, that you would not have to kill/hurt/betray them in anyway, shape, or form.
A couple of weeks had gone by, you obtained the respect of the port mafia members, mainly due to the fact that you were courting their boss but they also respected you without the aid of mori's influence. During your time away the agency would frequently think about your absence and if you have or haven't betrayed them in anyway. Most of the members have come to the realisation that you truly did not betray them and thought about apologising for their behaviour. Other members hated the thought of apologising but with one of Kenji's waky stories from the village they decided it would be best to apologise.
Another meeting was set by the agency, this time with only you and Mori. You sat in the same meeting room that was presented previously. This time you sat at he top of the table, next to Mori and across from Elise. The members sat in a similar position as before. 'We came here to apologise. We are sorry.' Fukuzawa declaired while he and your formers coligues bowed. You accepted the apology greatfully, apologising to them for not telling them earlier about your relationship. You were offered a place back at the agency but you had to decline saying that you would rather work along side Mori. Fukuzawa was understanding and told you you always had a place at the armed detective agancy if you evver wanted to visit them.

Cruel Summer
[Chapter 1]
London, the Capital city of England, one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, and possibly the home to some of the best museums and galleries. Not to mention their cultural heritage and literatures, and rolling cheese sport. All of it should make you proud, since you had the opportunity to study in England. You were one of the few students who had a full scholarship from SPW Foundation, and you had the best possible flat-mate in the whole of London. So if you're so lucky, you wouldn't have to wallow miserably on the floor, with your music on the highest volume setting, right?
Right?
"Cut it out." You heard your friend barge into your room to speak, "You've been listening to Mitski for the last 2 hours, and you're telling me you're okay?"
With so little energy, since you've wasted it all by crying, and maybe a little self-loathing, you reply to him with the most monotone voice you can muster, "Yeah, totally. Why wouldn't I be?"
You hear a few footsteps, before you see your friend's face looming above you. "You look like shit." You snort at his words, "What is it? Why are you crying?"
"Nothing, I just got dust in my eyes."
He lets out an exasperated sigh, which, combined with your little joke, his reaction makes the moment seem funny. He goes out of your vision for a second to retrieve your phone, and puts your music on a pause. "Alright," His voice was a lot clearer after the music was turned off, "I know you told me not to bother, but what happened to you? I never saw you so stressed out like this."
The concern in his eyes, along with his kind words are all it takes for you to cry louder, while spilling everything to him. "I fucked up my thesis, I don't even know why, I just fucked it up. My supervisor wouldn't even look twice at my paper, and told me to redo everything. Hell, it was only the introduction. I haven't even started yet." You reach out for a tissue to blow your nose, before you continue, "And I found out that my date with Daniel was a set up, and the one who suggested it was Midler. Midler! The one that I thought was my best friend sold my secret to him and anyone she came across. Now everyone knew that I had a crush on him."
"That sucks." He responded plainly, "Are you sure it's really a set-up?"
"I am one-hundred percent fucking sure." You bitterly spat, "I was on my way to the front office when I heard him and his friends talking about me. He said I was too easy, and he even had the audacity to bet on how fast he'd get into my pants. I was so embarrassed, and so angry at myself, why couldn't I see it sooner? He was playing with me all along, while I sat there, thinking that he's cool and all. I don't even like him, and he's just… ugh."
The redhead sits there beside you, as he listens to you patiently. It's clear that he pities you—you wouldn't blame him, you'd do the same if you're in his position, but right now, his gesture only worsens your mood. Because not only he heard your sob stories, he's also one of the causes of your pathetic gloom. You hide your face behind your fists as you groan in frustration. You've suffered enough humiliation today, you didn't need to give yourself another one. 
"I'm so done at this point, I wouldn't care if I dropped out."
"Hush, don't say that." He retorted.
"Or what?" You replied back with a frown, "You're gonna punish me like a kid?"
"Come on." He shot you a look of disapproval, and you unbelievably reacted to it at a lightning speed. 
"Sorry." You muttered weakly.
The two of you didn't exchange a word for a while, as you turned your face away from him. You didn't mean it in a hostile way, you just didn't want him to see this side of you for any longer. He has a lot on his plate already, you don't want to add another one. But your effort is useless, because he decides to include you anyway. "I can help you with your paper."
"You don't have to—"
"Let me take a look."
You rub your eyes, while trying to come to your senses, "It's in my bag."
He walks to your desk, and wordlessly fetches himself the papers from your satchel. You wipe the rest of your tears away, and push yourself up from the floor. You approach him while he pulls himself a seat, and carefully reads each page of your draft.
"It's actually very decent." He commented after he finished his review.
"Being decent is not enough, apparently." You said sarcastically.
"I think I know where the problem is." He begins, "Your choice of words are very limited, it's… ah, how should I say it? Not academic enough."
You furrow your brows at him, "What do you mean?"
"You see, our professors like to feel smart, so they won't accept anything that doesn't follow the academic writing rules. Your abstract wasn't on point, and wasn't specific enough about the content. Your introduction lacks fancy words, although you did well on putting it together."
"You think so?" You asked him, feeling a bit hopeful, "Does that mean I don't have to redo everything?"
He nods, "You just have to change your wording a little bit." He calls you to get closer, and see a line in your paper, "Instead of saying 'There are three factors in this concept; economics, social, and environmental', you can use 'This concept mainly consists of three dimensions, such as economics, social, and environmental'." He explained, "It's basically the same, but it sounds more serious when you use different words."
"Oh wow." You blurted out in awe, "If you put it that way, it does make sense."
"I know right."
"So I just need to change the wording a bit?"
"Yeah. You can use any online thesaurus for this task, I'm sure you can find one—"
He squeaks when you hug him tightly in your arms, "Thank you, I wouldn't know what to do without you honestly."
If you were a little bit cool in the head, you'd never hug him while uttering those words. But you were so caught up in the moment, that you didn't put too much care on it. How can you not? He just gave you what could possibly be a way out of this mess. 
In the midst of a Eureka moment, you turn your attention from him to open your laptop. You eagerly turn it on, and work on your paper shortly after. Completely forgot about Kakyoin's existence in your room.
Though if you were a little bit conscious about him, you wouldn't miss the dumbstruck look on his face.
 —
While it's a good thing that you found the fix to your thesis, executing it was a whole different thing. Online thesaurus was a big help, but it's not one-solution-for-all. It couldn't really solve the problem, you had to make all the changes manually. Which was more stressful than the initial revisal. By some luck, and maybe with the illegal amount of caffeine inside your blood, you managed to complete the first chapter. 
You almost danced in your room when you reached the last paragraph. After 2 days and 18 hours of editing, you can finally rest. You stretch your body as you get up, and soon enough, you occupy the bathroom for a nightly routine. After 5 minutes of shower, and a minute of brushing your teeth, you're more than ready to hit the sack. 
Sleeping should be an easy task for you, since you've depraved yourself from it. As you pull the blanket over your body, you lay your head on the pillow. Drowsiness should come to you in a minute, so you close your eyes and let yourself relax.
Except, it never comes upon you.
After minutes, then hours of tosses and turns, you're still pretty much awake. It's not that you're not tired yet, you're actually very tired, that you don't have the energy to sleep. You suspect it has something to do with your caffeine intake, or your erratic sleep schedule, or even the combination of both. Either way, you're fucked.
You throw your blanket off in frustration, why does this happen to you? You just wanted to have one nice thing, but the universe decides that it'd be funnier if you didn't get that. Which is cruel, considering what fate had done to you (and your love life) earlier this week.
You stop yourself before you could think of that bastard.
At this kind of time, it's so tempting to take a sleeping pill, or drink yourself to sleep. But you remind yourself of the side effect, particularly the long-term one. Despite your determination to suffer through the night, you can still hear the Devil whispers. 
In all honesty, you didn't want to be that girl in the middle of the night, but the lack of sleep invited your bad thoughts to come, and left you with little choices. Even now, as you make your way to his door, the image of his frown continuously pops up in your mind. You hesitate for a second, before you mutter 'screw it' and knock the door.
It takes around 6 seconds before the handle turns, and you see your friend peeks from behind the door. He's still in his casual clothes, with a headset around his neck. 
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you're streaming."
"It's ok." He replied before you could walk away, "Need anything?"
"Not really." You rubbed your neck while looking away, "... I couldn't sleep."
He doesn't reply immediately, and it never fails to activate your flight response. Yet before you could turn on your heel, he already pulled the door open. "Come in." He said.
You search his face for a bit, before deciding that you're not good at mind reading. 
The light in his room was dimmed down, to the point that it's no brighter than the computer screens. It doesn't surprise you, but it makes you wonder why he's not blind yet every time you see it. You look around his room while stepping towards his bed, until you catch the sight of a round object on his monitor. 
"Don't worry, the cam is off." He gently told you when you froze on your spot.
"Oh." You scratch your head, feeling a little embarrassed, "Okay, cool."
"Give me 5 minutes, I'll end the stream right away."
"What? No." You hold him off immediately, "I—uh, I wasn't in the mood for a night drive."
He raised his brow at you, "Do you wanna talk then?" 
You shake your head, "Not really." You bit your lip, still undecided about your reason for visiting, "Um… can I just watch you stream for a while? I'll be quiet, I promise."
Although he doesn't show it, you can almost hear his gears turning at your request. "Yeah, sure." He replied hesitantly, as he gestured toward his bed, "Make yourself comfortable."
While there was an unspoken rule about sleeping, or even sitting on the opposite sex's bed, you and Kakyoin already walked past that. Not for a reason one might think, but rather a plain one. The first time you crossed it was full of tears and panic, because there was a cockroach running amok in your bedroom. The incident forced him to sleep on the sofa, while you took over his bed. The other time was rather boring, you two switched rooms because he's sick. It was a stomach bug, and since your room is closer to the bathroom, it'd be logical for him to sleep there, in case he needed to puke. 
So when you climb upon his bed and hug his pillow, you feel nothing strange. Just one of the few moments of your sleepless nights. This isn't even weirder than your 3 am trip to McD, or late night chess when the two of you couldn't even remember whose turn it was. All in all, it's a nice way to pass the time.
You lean on the wall as you watch him typing, before resuming his stream. "Sorry for the pause." He clicked on the continue button on the screen, "Where were we?"
He looks at the chat column, and you copy him by turning to the other screen. You see a few chats pop up, and one of them asks something along the line of 'who's knocking?' And 'probably mom' follows afterwards.
"It's just my roommate." He corrected them, which might’ve caused an even bigger uproar than the joke.
FormerUNSecBanKiMoon: roommate????
MotherPrinkle69: roommate???
soup_eater: "roommate"
I_am_death99: just my "roommate"
BennySS: you hear that guys?
"Guys, come on—" He tried to save the situation, but the viewers already hopped on the fast train.
Oswalds002: place your bet everyone
AWEzoom: your "roommate" knocked on your door in the middle of the night? totally normal
The_kevins: is she pretty tho
"Alright, alright, we'll play another game, since you're obviously not interested in it." He said, and the chat spewed out different kinds of 'NO's. 
He switches to an old MMORPG game, and you can practically hear the collective groans from the chat. You almost blow your cover as you snicker at the whole interaction. But thanks to his pillow, your voice wouldn't be picked up by his mic. 
The chat becomes relatively tame afterwards, with one or two pleas for getting back to the first game. But he's joining a raid, so there's a little chance it ever happens. 
You idly watch him play, while glancing at the chat occasionally. Most of them are simply a reaction, but one particular comment catches your eyes.
Jeremaya: didn't he have a crush on her or smth?
He didn't seem to notice it, since it's quickly buried under the chat. But even if he did, you wouldn't know it from this angle. 
Whatever. You rest your chin on the pillow with a grunt. You wouldn't pay any attention to it if you're less exhausted, and were right in the mind. If he did have a crush on you, what then? It's not like it'd change anything. He'd still bully you in a game, and not give you an easy win or whatever. 
In annoyance, you flop yourself down on the mattress, while scolding yourself internally for thinking that way. There's no way you'd like each other, at least not in a romantic sense. You've seen so much of him, from his friendliest mask, to the one on the darker side of him. He might looks harmless, but he won't hesitate to break someone's bone when they fuck with him. He's also very polite, but deep down you know he'd rather be the opposite. 
And he wouldn't like you either. You're not as smart as everybody though, in many cases, you're just lucky. You're lucky you got that scholarship, you're lucky you found a good flat and a rich roommate, and you're lucky you could escape from any troubles. He's seen the worst part of you, especially the one when you had a breakdown over a loading website. He knew you'd rather run, than facing the problem like a normal human. It might seem like an innocuous trait, but it could be the biggest deal-breaker in your relationship. Because, well—
You pinch the bridge of your nose, as your inner monologue is replaced by a massive headache. The accumulated stress from your college, along with your restlessness are coming down to you at once. You try to soothe it with a little massage, but it's no avail. The migraine is still persistent. 
So you give up and wait for it to pass. You stare at the ceiling, while quietly listening to his occasional talk. He seems to be in a big raid, judging by the intensity of his keyboard use. Which, you don't mind hearing all day. You close your eyes, and switch your focus to the sound. It's strangely calming to hear him play, as if he's doing it at the right tempo. Not too fast, not too slow either. It's like his every move is calculated, and patient. Very patient.
As your alertness begins to slip, a single thought comes up to your mind. A thought you'd normally overlook, yet tonight, after he let you bother him in the middle of his stream (which, honestly, he could just say he's busy and closed the door, but somehow he didn't), you couldn't ignore it any longer. If he doesn't care about you, why would he let you in?
No. You stop yourself before you could indulge in it. There's just no way.

HUNG UP ON YOU
Pairing: Jake Seresin x Reader, Hangman x Reader
Warnings: smutty but keep it cute, semi bondage sex, public sex
Authors Note: @cherrycola27 going for the threepeat
Tumblr media
Butterflies. Deep seated butterflies. That’s all you could feel running through your body. They were strong enough to almost make you feel like needed to vomit. They appeared every time he looked at you. And every time you smelt his cologne. Every time you heard his voice. Pretty much anytime Jake “Hangman” Seresin was near to your person.
“Heads up darlin’” you heard his smooth voice cross your ears. It brought a smile you had to wrestle down like you were the Crocodile Hunter yourself. He brushed past you as he tried to reach the table next to your group of friends to place the beer down on. He made sure rub his shoulders against yours while he did it.
You stumbled backwards crashing into someone behind you.
“Whoa, you alright there y/n?” Payback wondered. You looked up to his tall frame and nodded slowly trying to chase the stars out of your eyes.
“I just got lightheaded for a second.” You shook your head trying to focus your eyes again.
“Too much to drink?” He followed up.
You gave him a look and a friendly middle finger.
“I haven’t had a drop yet Fitch.” You argued back.
The sun shone brightly through the bar windows. It was the middle of the day and yet you found yourself in casual clothing with the your squad, The Daggers. Your squad was extremely elite and everyone seemed to pick up on that tone. You kept a level head about it you weren’t going acting as if you were the shit but you did enjoy some of the perks that came with it.
"Do they really think they are fooling anyone? We all know they are together? Why do they feel like they need to sneak around?" Phoenix commented to Coyote making him laugh.
"I think it's cute... like Romeo and Juliet or Gastby and Daisy!" Bob commented dreamily.
"Bob, you know both of those stories have terrible endings right?" Coyote shot back.
"Given that it is Hangman and Renegade... it could go either way.” Bob shrugged before eyeing his next shot of the pool game.
"Alright but hear me out... what if we lock them in a closet until they confess that they are together?" Rooster asked.
The group dropped the subject quickly as they saw Hangman stiffen at the sight of you speaking with another pilot closely he clenched his jaw tightly ignited in a fury. He advanced on you and grabbed your wrist tightly. Roughly he guided you outside to the back of the bar.
“What the fuck was that Ren? Since when do you throw yourself at other guys?" He growled.
"Why do you care Bagman? It's not like you would ever date me in a million years right?" You teased knowing you were pushing his buttons.
He stood his ground staring you down before he leaned forward to kiss you. You raised your hand and struck him on the cheek quickly. Your chest heaved up and down and so did his. The tension in the air was so incredibly thick it made it hard to breathe.
“What was that for?” He asked before resuming his advance on your lips.
You slapped him lightly again.
“Ren-“
Thwack
“God damnit! Stop!” He growled his cheek now red.
You smirked before giving him one final slap for good measure. He couldn’t be too confident thinking he had all the power. You were a force to be reckoned with too.
“What are you gonna do about it?” You challenge him.
Jake doesn't even respond to you he just continues to eye the soft spot on your neck. He looked like he was ready to devour you.
“What are you going to do about it?” You asked again.
Jake pushed you roughly against the wall and his body followed laying his whole body weight against you. He grabbed your hands and held them above your head pinned tightly to the wall. With his free hand he grabbed your waist pulling it closer to him.
"What the the fuck are you doing?" You asked him as his hand roamed south to your skirt.
“Showing you what I'm going to do about it. You want to be a brat? I'll show you, brat." He practically spat as he pushed your skirt upwards. Your heart fluttered dangerously changing your rhythm. The lust in his green eyes darkened them to the point of changing color entirely.
His finger gently snaked upwards towards the wetness that now pooled on your panties. You were incredibly wet for him. It didn’t surprise you though you had been wanting this for forever. Every glance. Every snide comment he made just fueled your body. It was like he was begging you to just fall into his grasp. Well now you were here and he was teasing you endlessly. He swirled his long finger around your aching bundle of nerves.
“Either stick your finger in me or not Hangman.” You growled not wanting to wait anymore. The anticipation in your chest felt as if you were having a heart attack. It was heavy and hard to breathe you needed him to release you from the feeling.
“Say my name darlin’ and ask nicely.” He was in the mood for games. You weren’t. He smirked at you as you rolled your eyes.
You glared at him deciding if you’re were going to give in or not. He removed his finger from your wetness and made you whimper. You tried to reach out instinctually to grab his hand a place it back where it belonged but he held your hands down further making you groan.
“Hangman. I need you to fuck me please.” You practically begged an almost tearful tone came from you.
“That’s all you had to say baby.” He stated with a smug smile before dropping his height so that his face was level with your skirt. He released your hands and used both of his now skillfully and carefully. He slid your lace panties down to your ankles and spread your legs wide apart before burying his face in your sweet wet nectar he had been in chase of. He nudged your clit with his nose making you nearly drop to your knees yourself. The feel of his tongue on your sensitive skin brought a level of ecstasy you didn’t know you could achieve. You had always dreamed of what it would feel like but you never imagined it would feel this good. This man was an expert as he sucked and licked in all of the right places.
He gave you the tiniest nibble making you nearly shriek as you tried to stay standing. He grabbed onto your hips and held on to them tightly moving you with his bobbing head. He growled slightly against your swollen clit. The moan that came out of your throat was downright pornographic. You grabbed his hair and held on as you guided his head farther into you. Honestly you could stay here forever.
“Cum for me baby. I need a drink I’m fucking thirsty.” He stated his lips still firmly inside your folds adding more to your pleasure. He didn’t need to tell you twice it only took one more long and deep suck before you were coming undone. It was Jakes turn to moan as you praised him by the way he liked to hear.
“Hangman.” You whispered as you let your body ride out the orgasm a little longer.
“Whoa! Shit! I’m sorry!” You heard a familiar voice say. Your eyes snapped open and you looked to the left. Your orgasm instantly gone but the effects from it still lingering. You tried to see the face of the intruder through the stars still in your eyes.
“Don’t worry about it Rooster. It isn’t the first time you’ve walked in on me.” Hangman slyly stated before winking at you and then wiping his absolutely soaked mouth.
He slid your panties back up before slapping your pussy for added measure. It took your breath away.
“We’ll finish that later sweetheart.” He rubbed your cheek and you closed your eyes at his touch. Every touch he gave you felt like you were in a trance. It set fire to your skin and you wanted more.
“I wanna see you fucked out of your kind and cockdrunk off of me darlin’ and what I want I tend to get.” He stated before walking off leaving you reeling.

just another delightful idea for you bestie...hehehehhehhehhehehhehe
So...picture this: Jason and the reader are acquainted because of him helping out the basketball team in his free time from work, and the reader is dating Eddie. One day the reader is so fed up with Jason constantly talking shit about Eddie during practice because Chrissy and him are besties (without a doubt) and Jason had just said something that truly makes the reader snap. So, the reader makes Jason think that when he isn't at practice (he is with Eddie but no one knows that) that he is with Jason's mom.
Highly bases off the song "I Fucked Yr Mom" by Sorry Mom :))
I Fucked Your Mom Jason - Eddie Munson x Male!Reader
Male!Reader, he/him, need I say more? Let's get into this
CIS Women and Female Aligned people, please DNI, this story and all of my others are for non-binary, masculine aligned and male readers!
Tags: @qthetherapist, @rlmt1, @eddieverse, @alexs-playground
“For the love of fuck Jason, can you just quit it already?” Sarcastically yelling from across the cafeteria at the senior I had been far too tired to deal with his bs about Eddie being a freak.
“Oh yeah (l/n), what are you gonna do to stop me?” He called back angry, guess he didn’t expect his homework kid to get snappy with him. He had constantly been picking on Eddie, my boyfriend, sure I was ‘friends’ with Jason and his club of assholes but only because I did homework in turn for protection from other assholes that didn’t like me. 
“How about this Jason. You know full well that you’re at practice for several hours a day, wanna know what I’m doing when you’re doing all that?” He shut up and gestured for me to continue.
“I was fucking your mom,” not in the slightest bit true, I always hung out with Eddie when Jason was at practice, “That’s right Carver, I was fucking your mom, at the PTA meetings, ya know she'd come by the high school and I just thought she was so fucking cute for a mom. So one night after a meeting I took her home, bent her over my desk, and I fucked the shit out of your mom.” He was livid now, I guess I found the soft spot he’s got. He tried rushing me but didn’t realize I could get out of the way just a bit quicker than he could lunge at me. I had the upper hand here, so why not keep taunting him right?
“It’s funny really, I used to work as a lifeguard in the summer, she and the other moms would come in and relax and we’re allowed to go in and swim with them, yeah. She stayed behind a couple times, just wanted to chat, and realized she must’ve sent the kids home, she had no ride, asked if I could take her home. Well I took her home alright, and I’m sure you were in bed by the time we got back, and she was in mine, I fucked your mom Jason. And she loved every second of it too.” I loved the look of pure rage on his face.
“SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH UP ABOUT MY MOM!” He kept going for punches but wasn’t landing any, too angry to see straight. I had almost made a whole circle around the table dodging his punches and lunges. 
“Then how about you stop me, Carver?” I sprinted back to my seat, snatching my bag and running out of the cafeteria to the parking lot, might as well do a few laps while I’m still alive. 
“Really, you chose to date that one?” Gareth was trying his best to hold in any other concerning comments about me and turning to gauge Eddie’s reaction.
“Yeah, I think I like that one the best.”

Hi!!! May I request some sort of villain x civilian?? Maybe the civilian is getting threatened by another villain or hero??
Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
It wasn’t like the Civilian looked for trouble. Really everything about her screamed background character. But of course the one time she ran on main street instead of the backroads, she got kidnapped by a villain. And not just any villain, oh no, the supervillain. The hero, living up to the job description, of course saved her. And, of course, the media weaved a whole tapestry of an amazing love story between them. 
He was nice. Muscly and whatnot. 
Yeah . . . that was pretty much it.
Ever since then she’d been kidnapped twelve times by a whole myriad of maniacs and psychopaths, even though she had made it her personal mission not to talk to the hero ever again aside from the brief ‘thanks’ exchanged after each rescue.
How he got her number she didn’t know. 
“Hey Civilian, how’s it going?”
“What do you want?”
“Umm, well,” he gave an uneasy chuckle. “There’s this villain giving me a little trouble, could you . . . wait on the roof of the Enterprise as bait?”
“Oh you’ve got to be kidding me.”
“I know! And I’m sorry, but this would be a great help.”
The civilian sighed, “Now?”
“Preferably.”
The hero looked at her watch. She pinched the bridge of her nose. “You couldn’t just be good at your job and find him yourself?”
“...”       
“Of course not.”
“Please. It won’t even take that long, I’ll give you a tracking device so I can find you faster.”
She didn’t reply.
Now it was his turn to sigh. “You know I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important. We’ve got to stop him before he hurts anyone.”
She could only imagine what kind of puppy dog expression he would give her if they were talking in person. 
She was going soft. 
“Alright, fine,” she growled. “But never ever call me again.”
“Thank you so mu-”
“Yeah whatever.”
***
So here the Civilian was, waiting to get kidnapped. 
Again.
She wondered what sort of villain it would be. Over the top? Sinister? Sympathetic? Sometimes she made bets with herself. It was a good way to pass the time while running. 
She should really consider getting herself a treadmill.
The Civilian felt a little bad for how curt she was with the hero earlier. He was just trying to help people. And this was clearly the easiest way to draw villains out. She was just tired. Maybe she could get some sleep after the whole ‘threatening before kidnapping’ thing. Of course sleeping tied to a chair wasn’t very comfortable. But it was more comfortable than dangling off a building. Less comfortable than a cell though. 
Cell
Chair
Building
Yeah that’s about right. 
She guessed she was so used to this whole routine by now that she wasn’t surprised by a voice from behind her. “Do you normally sit on the edge of buildings?”
She spared a glance behind her. The villain was leaned up against the door to the roof. “I like a little danger.”
He smirked. “Oh really?” His voice was low and smooth. “Is that why you’re dating Hero?”
She raised a brow. “Yeah that and the abs.” She left her perch, stood, and folded her arms. “So you gonna kidnap me now? I’m not that fun to be around, trust me.”
He looked her up and down, probably noticing the tight line that was her mouth, the bags under her eyes, and her chewed off fingernails. “You seem used to this.”
“You have no idea,” she replied.
He matched her folded arms, still casually leaned against the building. “Well I can’t kidnap you just yet.” He winked. “Gotta see if this is a trap or not.”
A ghost of a smile crossed her face. “You’re a little more perceptive than they usually are.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
This guy was . . . interesting. “I haven’t seen you before. New around here?” she asked.
“You could say that.”
Vague. Very vague. “Well you got any powers, new guy?”
He pushed off the door and spread his hands. Electricity arched between his fingers. She watched with wide eyes. It was kinda pretty. 
Pretty? 
She cleared her throat. “It’s alright.” 
She was surprised he wasn’t trying to intimidate her, like the villains usually did. He was fully capable though. A head taller than her, calculating eyes, athletic frame, and powers to boot: he could give the hero a run for his money. 
The electricity sizzled out. “So you usually wait around to get kidnapped, or is this just my lucky day?” he asked.
Well, she guessed it was kind of obvious what the hero’s plan was. Heroes’ pretend girlfriends don’t just wait around on buildings for no reason. “I mean, it would get this over with quicker if you fell for it.”
He chuckled. “I’m guessing your relationship with the hero is just a business deal?”
“If it was a business deal, I’d get paid.”
He actually laughed then. She felt a flush creep up her cheeks. “Well I have to say I’m surprised,” he said.
“How so?”
“You’re the envy of the town, darling. Any girl would leap at the chance of being rescued by Hero.”
She shrugged. “Yeah well don’t get me wrong, newbie. I’m quite head over heels smitten. But I think I’ll take a nap over being rescued for the thirteenth time.”
He didn’t say anything for a moment, just a slight smile on his face and his eyes all-too observant. She just tilted her head. Two can play at these mind games.
His eyes brightened a little.
“How about I make you a deal?” he finally said. “I’ll kidnap you, but you can have a couch.”
Her brows furrowed. “But you know it’s a trap.”
“I’ll take that risk.”
She considered it. It was a better deal than she usually got. 
Which was no deal, actually. 
“You know, I could just sleep at my house.”
He smirked. “I don’t know if you’re new here, but that’s not how this kidnapping thing works.”
She actually smiled now. “Alright, fine. But I still protest.”
“Duly noted.”
As they headed downstairs, she tossed the tracking device. Let the hero take his time, she didn’t mind a little more conversation with the villain anyway.  
Part two here

I Love Him- Part 9
I sigh as I walk struggle through the front door with grocery bags lining my arms and filling my hands as Lilly follows behind carrying a gallon of milk. When I push the door shut with my foot Steve appears with his eyes bugging out of his head before running towards me, “Aye! Woah woah woah! What are you doing!?” I huff, “Groceries.”
He starts taking the bags from me and doesn’t stop till I’m left with one, the lightest one. I throw him a glare and follow him into the kitchen as Lilly races past us and up the stairs already dropping the milk off in the kitchen, “I’m not an invalid.” He puts the groceries on the island before turning around and grabbing my shoulders gently, “I’m aware of that but you’re six months pregnant and the doctor said you shouldn’t be doing any strenuous activities.”
I cross my arms, “You weren’t saying that last night, or the night before, or the night before that, or th-,” He cuts me off, “Alright I get it, no more sex.” My mouth drops at his seriousness and I follow behind him as he runs around the kitchen putting groceries away, “That is not what I said.” The fucker without missing a beat says, “No, but you brought into our conversation.” I pout, “Oh come on! I was just stating a fact! I don’t want to go celibate yet! I won’t ever want to go celibate but I’m going to have to in a couple months!”
He chuckles and puts the last bag away before walking over to me and looping his arms around my waist and pecking my lips repeatedly as I try to continue yelling. I sigh contently before melting into his kiss as he rubs me back. He pulls back with a smile that I know all too well. I sigh, “What do you want?” He smiles and I playfully roll my eyes, “Go out with me.”
I laugh and walk to the fridge and he follows me desperately grabbing for my hips, “Y/N/N.” I spin around at his seriousness before closing the fridge, “You’re being serious?” He nods and I smile, “Well then, yes, I would love too…where are we going?” He hums and walks out of the kitchen, “It’s a surprise.” “Ugh!”
Tumblr media
(This is the dress Y/N wears for the date)
I smile as Steve helps me up into the truck before he rounds the truck and gets in the driver seat. When we’re on the way to wherever it is he’s taking me I grab his hand and stare at him admiring him in his suit. He glances at me, “Everything okay?” I hum and lean back in my seat still watching him, “You look so good in a suit.” His ears turn red as he smiles, “You look beautiful in your dress.” I lean over the center console as best I can, “I know.” He laughs as I sit back in my seat with a smile.
I furrow my eyebrows when Steve parks the truck by a private beach. When he helps me out of the truck I look at him in question as he leads me down the beach, I’m glad I wore sandals. When we get closer to the water my jaw drops at the scene that looks like it was pulled right off of Pinterest. I turn to Steve with teary eyes, “It’s beautiful.” He looks me in the eye and sighs, “Absolutely breathtaking.”
I smile as Steve tells me a story about when he was a child. When he’s done he looks at me and I notice the nervousness in his eyes. I sit up worried, “Steve? You okay?” He stands up and smooths his jacket before clearing his throat, “Um, yeah yeah I’m okay.”
I go to ask another question and my mouth goes dry as he kneels down and I manage to squeak out his name. He licks his lips and clears his throat before taking my hand, “Uh, I had a whole speech planned but now that I’m here it’s all gone,” I chuckle and squeeze his hand to help ease his anxiety, “Y/N, when we first met,” he pauses and I bite back a smile as he tilts his head, “well, when we first talked, I knew there was something special about you, other than the fact that you were related to Danny and not in a constant state of misery around him.” I snort and nod causing him to smile, “After our first phone call you kept pulling me back in and before I knew it my day wasn’t complete until I talked to you. And then I met you for the first time and I knew I loved you but I couldn’t find a way to ask you out without pissing Danny off. Fast forward six months and we were at a party for Grace and that was when it happened, that was when it all started. I know we’ve only been together for a little less than a year and some people would think we’re crazy for how fast we’re moving but I don’t care, I love you and that’s all I need, so, Y/N Williams, will you marry me?”
Tears fill my eyes as I nod, “Yes! Yes I’ll marry you!” He pulls a ring out of his pocket as he stands but I jump up and pull him into a hug. He pulls his arm with the ring out from between us so he can hug me back. I pull away and grab the back of his head to pull his head down to me, “I love you too, more than you’ll ever know.”
When we pull away from the hug he slips the ring onto my finger. I glance at it and my eyes widen at the size and he smiles and turns my head to his, “I’ve been saving for awhile but it was worth every penny.” I smile and relax into him before whispering, “God I don’t want this night to end.” He pulls back with a smile, “It doesn’t end until tomorrow afternoon.”
I raise an eyebrow and he smirks as he pulls a keycard from his pocket and I gasp, “A hotel?” He nods and sees my face and he pulls me in a little closer, “Don’t worry, Lilly is having a sleepover at Danny’s.” I smile and fully relax before smiling and pulling him closer and whisper, “So, when are we gonna get to the fun part?”
When Steve opens the hotel room door my breath is taken away for the third time tonight. “You got the honeymoon suite?” He closes the door slipping the do not disturb tag onto the doorknob before humming, “Yeah, we missed the courthouse on the way here but we’ll get back to that part.”
I chuckle as he wraps his arms around my stomach with his chin on my shoulder, “You even have clothes here, how long have you been planning this?” He sways us back and forth, “Since I got back from Montana.” I spin around, “What!?” He nods, “Before Joe died he made me promise I would ask you when I got back, and when he found out I already had a ring it just pressured him on.” I wrap my hands around his neck, “So, how soon do you want to get married?”
He shrugs, “Whenever you want, I could take you to the courthouse right now and I would be happy.” I smile, “I want something small but not that small.” He raises and eyebrow, “You already have it planned don’t you?” I bite my lip shyly and he kisses me, “Tell me.” I smile and nod, “Okay, I was thinking a small wedding in the backyard with Lilly as the flower girl, Grace and Tani as bridesmaids because I can’t pick one to be a maid of honor, Junior, Danny, and Adam standing with you, and Charlie as the ring bearer.”
He hums and nods, “Yeah, and what do you think about doing it before the babies?” I raise an eyebrow, “You mean, like, in a month or two?” He nods and I smile, “Let’s do it.” He smirks before grabbing my hips, “Mm, I thinks we should do something else at the moment.” I nod, “Agreed.”
I hum as a kiss is placed on my neck before opening my eyes, “Morning” He groans in his gravelly morning voice and I bite back a moan as his hand dips between my thighs. He nips my neck as I whine before I grab his hand with a wince. He pulls his hand away before propping himself up on his elbow worried, “What’s wrong?” I sit up as a foot makes contact with my ribs again before standing up as another foot make contact with my spine, “For fucks sake what is going on in there.” Steve looks over as I bend over with my hands resting on the bed, “Are you okay? Do you need something?”
I shake my head as something else hits, something that isn’t a foot. I look up at Steve, “Dear God, it’s happening again.” He looks at me confused and I sigh out a pained groan, “When you were gone I started having these really bad pains,” I grit my teeth and take another breath as Steve’s hand rests on my back rubbing up and down as I continue, “Danny took my to the hospital and it turned out to be braxton hicks but apparently I’m special. I get them in bursts every once in awhile instead of the normal on and off every now and then but my bursts, this is only the second time and they’re stronger than normal braxton hicks and the doctors don’t know why.”
Steve looks confused and hurt, “Why didn’t anyone call me?” I grab his hand, “I told them not to, you were dealing with enough you didn’t need anymore problems on your plate.” He sits on the bed and looks at me as I stand, “You aren’t a problem, you never have been and you never will be. You’re my fiancé and I will always be there for you.” I cup his face, “Yeah, I know, you’ll always come running and I love you for that but I made the decision that I wouldn’t call you unless the doctor said something was wrong. You can ask Danny those were his orders, if the doctor said something wasn’t right or normal he was to call you immediately.”
After a few minutes the pain passes and I lay on the bed, “How long do we have the room?” Steve glances at his watch and hums, “Two hours give or take a few minutes.” I sit up and smirk, “Well then, let’s make the best of it before we go home and share the news.” He chuckles, “Danny knows, but that’s it.” I nod before pulling him onto the bed, “I figured.”
When we walk through the doors at Danny’s everyone is there and I look at Steve but he looks as confused as me. Lilly runs over and hugs us both before disappearing with Charlie. Danny comes over and glances at my hand before grinning like a Cheshire Cat, “Don’t worry they don’t know I just told them we would have a group dinner here tonight.”
Steve and I nod before walking to the table lined with Italian food. I lick my lips and sit down before grabbing a fork, “I’m starving so either y’all sit down or I’m eating it all.” Everyone laughs before Adam looks at Steve, “Did you forget to feed her?”
I roll my eyes as Steve sits beside me followed by Lilly surprisingly crawling up beside me. “Yeah she ate like an hour ago, if that.” Everyone looks at me and I raise an eyebrow, “I’m pregnant…with twins…and they’re both McGarrett/Williams boys.” Everyone nods while Steve and Danny look at me offended, “What’s that supposed to mean!?” I sigh before grabbing the meatballs, “Nothing.”
After everyone’s done eating I give Steve the go ahead since he’s been excited to say something all night. He stands up and clears his throat earning everyone’s attention, “Despite what Danny told you this is not just another dinner,” he glances at me and smiles, “this one is special.”
Everyone looks between us confused until Tani and Grace gasp being the only girls they quickly figure out what it’s about. The boys except for Danny still look confused and Steve nudges my shoulder gently. I hold up my hand and everyone gasps, “Ta da, we’re getting married.” I chuckle as everyone starts congratulating us as Steve sits back down. After everyone’s calmed down Tani looks over with wide eyes, “How did he do it?” I rest my chin on my palm, “Tani, you should have seen it, it was beautiful.”
A few hours later it’s been decided that Grace and Tani will both be maids of honors because bridesmaid was to simple in their opinion, Danny, Junior, and Adam would be groomsmen, minus Danny he’s best man, Lilly would be the flower girl, and Charlie would be the ring bearer, just like I thought.
Tani has also laid claims on taking me dress shopping and Grace made it clear she was going too. The last decision made was possibly the hardest, when was it? Steve and I know we want it to be within two months but we hadn’t picked a date until Tani grabbed a calendar from Danny’s kitchen and handed it to me. I chuckle as I take it and flip to June since that’s the next month. I glance at the days and one stands out to me, it’s a Saturday but it’s not just that, it’s the first day I called Steve to talk. I point at it and look at Steve to see the smile of recognition fill his face, “It’s perfect.”
I look up to see awaiting expressions on everyone’s face except Lilly and Charlie who are to busy arguing over whales and dolphins. I chuckle before grabbing Steve’s hand, “June 17th.”

We’re a Family
Summary: part 2 of Alone Tonight. Robin returns from Europe
The Party has one last get together before the baby arrives
And the happy couple have a baby break.
Authors Note: When I wrote ‘Alone Tonight’ I intended for it to be a one shot. But to be embarrassingly honest, I realized after I posted it that I had totally forgotten about Robin! How could I forget about Steve’s platonic soulmate???
So this story was written to rectify that, and then for some reason I just didn’t stooop typing. So please enjoy this part 2! There will almost definitely not be any more parts. The end is wrapped up pretty completely so if there’s ever another part (don’t get your hopes up) it’ll just be a bonus story like the one at the very end. Haha.
The Ao3 link is pinned on page if you’d rather read it there or want to follow the series IF I ever do write more for this universe lol!
I also just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the positive feedback, the likes, and the reblogs. It means so much to me. I am so grateful to you all. I love this fandom. ❤️
Tumblr media
“Are you sure I look okay?” You’re stood by the front door, wearing your favorite casual maternity dress. Bright yellow sunflowers adorning every inch of the soft fabric.
Steve comes out from the kitchen and looks you up and down with the biggest smile on his face. “Baby, stop it, you look gorgeous. It’s taking everything in me not to ravish you right here and now.”
You grab his arms and pull him as close as you can get with your giant baby bump pressed between you. “I’m serious Stevie. I’m so nervous.”
He pulls back and looks into your eyes, cupping your face with both hands, “What is there to be nervous about, Sweetheart? She’s going to love you.”
“But what if she doesn’t? What if she hates me. I know how close you two are, I know you’ll leave me if she doesn’t give me the seal of approval.”
Steve huffs a laugh. He leans in and kisses your nose. Your face scrunches up in a deep frown. “Luckily, you won’t have to worry about that, because she’s. going. to. love. you.” He kisses you softly on the lips, just a sweet bit of reassurance. “Plus, she practically loves you already. She would’ve protested the wedding if she didn’t.”
“Prot- what do you mean?”
“Well, I mean it’s not like I haven’t talked to her the whole time she’s been away. I wrote to her about you like 10 times just in the first week we met. And like you said about approval and all that… I mean we wouldn’t have been engaged, let alone married without her giving the okay.”
You playfully slap him in the arm, “what the heck Steven.”
“Oh come on, not my government name.”
You sigh deeply, “Alright well, I guess I feel a little bit better then.” You think for a moment in silence, “wait, you didn’t tell her about the whole reason we spent the night together did you?”
He grimaces, eyes scrunched up tight, “I mean I didn’t not tell her.”
“Oh my gosh-“ you grab the doorknob and charge out of the front door, “you swore you wouldn’t tell anyone.” You’re whining all the way down to the car, Steve following close behind you.
“I know baby, but Robins not just anybody.” Before you can get in the car he grabs you from behind and pulls you close to his chest. “She’s my platonic soulmate. I pretty much have to tell her everything ever or else one of us will die.”
“Mmm” you purse your lips “that’s a little over dramatic. But. It’s already out there so. As long as she doesn’t like blab to anyone else about it, or brings it up at all really, I think we’ll be okay.”
He kisses the top of your head and let’s go of you so he can open the door for you. The laugh that leaves his mouth is a little uneasy. “Yeah yeah, should be fine.”
The diner is fairly empty for a Friday night. You can’t help but smile as you remember the first time Steve brought you here. It was your first official date, just a couple days after what was meant to be a one night stand. He’d called the Byers-Hopper residence asking for you, when Will answered the phone. He’d wiggled his eyebrows at you as he handed you the phone, a little smirk on his face. That very night he’d brought you here and the rest was history.
“What’re you thinking of getting this time?” Steve asked, flipping through the greasy menu.
“Well,” you sighed, rubbing your stomach in wide circles, “Eddie really wants a strawberry milkshake. And a greasy bacon cheese burger. And fries. And mozzarella sticks. And a pickle. And-“
“Geez, sweetheart. Eddie wants a lot tonight huh?” He laughed, patting your leg under the table.
“I’ll be happy when these pregnancy cravings are gone. And when I’m, yanno, not pregnant anymore.”
He looks up at you, concern in his eyes. “I thought you liked being pregnant?”
“I do baby, I do. But once you hit 8 months it’s like. A lot. He’s so heavy, and my crotch hurts like all the time. And I can’t breath. And I feel like my stomachs going to explode sometimes. And Eddie keeps like kicking me… like for real, I thought he broke a rib last week.” You take a deep breath, “it’s just like a lot now, we’re so close to the finish line I’m just ready to evict the tenant yanno?”
“I’m sorry my love,” he kisses your cheek tenderly, “if I could do the last month for you I would.”
“I know you would, handsome. You’re so good to me.” You close the gap between your faces and kiss him deeply. He puts his arm around you to bring you closer to him in the tight booth.
“Gross.” You hear from behind you.
“Robin!” Steve exclaims. You scoot out of the booth as quickly as you can, Steve helping you with a hand on your lower back.
“Um, hi, Robin” you put your hand out to shake hers, “it’s so nice to meet you, I’ve heard so much about you!” Robin slaps your hand out of the way and brings you in for, what would be a crushing hug, if not for your belly.
“Not as much as I’ve heard about you, probably heard way too much about you honestly. But that’s okay because you make Dingus happy and that makes me happy. Seriously, very cool to meet you. Geez you’re huge.” Robin, you learn, is a rambler. Which you instantly love because you can be too. “How far along are you now?”
“8 months. Ready to pop this baby out already.”
“Bet Steve hasn’t been able to keep his hands off of you.” Robin smirks.
“You have no idea” you bit your lip, rubbing your tummy, “thought our sex life was wild before-”
“Gross,” she laughs lightly and clears her throat. “And you’re uh, you’re really naming him Eddie?” She asks, eyes a bit glossy.
“Yeah,” you smile down at your tummy, “Edward William”
“William? After Will?”
“Not- not exactly. Well, I mean yes and no.”
“Oh no, please tell me that’s not because of Billy?” She looks up at Steve who in turn puts his hands up in a defensive position and shrugs.
“Yeah. Well. I mean, I heard what a douche he was but- I’ve also heard about yanno- all the stuff that happened to you guys and- well he saved my sisters life.” You pause and look over at Steve and then back to Robins curious eyes. “I never even would’ve met Jane if not for Billy. And from what it sounds like, this whole town and even the world wouldn’t have made it without Jane so. Domino effect and all that. Felt like- well it felt like he deserved a bit of a tribute too, yanno?”
“Yeah, yeah you’re right.” She pats your arm. When she turns to look at Steve it seems like he can’t take it anymore, he’s bursting at the seems to be close to his platonic soulmate. He moves in on Robin in an instant and swoops her up in his arms, spinning her around in a bear hug. “Missed you, can’t believe you left me all alone for 5 years. Come on and sit. Tell us about Europe.”
“Well it’s not like I left to just travel the world without reason. I was studying abroad!” She scoots into the booth across from you, ”Education and all that.”
“Whatever man, there’s colleges here, you abandoned me but that’s fine. Yanno, whatever, missed my wedding but that’s fine I guess.”
“Shut up” she laughed “at least I’ll be here for the birth of your child. I know that’s most important to you. Six little nuggets.”
“Yeah, that’s true.” He smiles over at you. “Okay, enough about us, let’s hear about all the trouble you got up to.”
“Alright alright fine… so, it’s one of my first nights in Paris and as I’m walking by this cafe I notice this girl staring at me from the balcony-“
Jonathan and Nancy’s house was the new hub for the Party. With everyone having moved out of their respective childhood homes, and some having moved out of Hawkins completely. It made sense that their house was the best meeting place, when everyone was back in town.
Plus, it was bigger than yours and Steve’s small 2 bedroom starter home. Not that you didn’t have the money for something bigger. You were a renowned artist in Indiana at this point, selling several Photobooks and even having gallery events every couple of years where large canvases of your photos were sold to the elite of the state and elsewhere. You two were just, saving up. Steve really did want 6 little nuggets. And you were happy to have them, but you both wanted to make sure your future home was large enough to house such a large brood.
The Byers home was fairly large, not too big but the living room was definitely sizable. Looking around the Party, you think they might have purchased this particular house with them in mind. It was unbelievably sweet how close everyone was, it made you feel so warm. Especially to see how welcoming they had been of you too.
In fact, this whole gathering was technically, for you. Well, for you and Steve and the birth of your son. One last movie night before babysitters and extra planning would have to be involved. As well as the fact that Dustin and Suzie had flown in from Utah, specifically to be here for when Eddie arrived. Everyone was here, and that meant party time.
Nancy was pattering about the kitchen, emptying bags of popcorn into several large bowls. You waddled in behind her, gripping the counter for some extra support. “Hey Nance, can I help you with anything?”
She looked up at you and smiled, “No no, y/n, I’ve got it!”
You pull out a stool from the island in the center of the large kitchen and climb onto it. Struggling a little bit, your balance off and swollen ankles doing you no favors. “Alright I guess I’ll just sit here then, and watch you, while my hands do nothing.”
She laughs, rolling her eyes “Alright fine, here, you can put all the candy into these individual bowls.” Bringing over two brown paper bags full of candy and a stack of small bowls.
“Good grief, it’s like we’re feeding an army of small children.”
“We pretty much are,” she sighs as the timer goes off on the oven. She puts her oven mitts on and grabs the tray of chicken nuggets. Plopping them on the stove top.
“So,” you grab the first bag of candy and start pouring it into the porcelain bowl “Did you think Steve would be the first in the Party to have kids?”
“Yes. We all knew he would actually.”
“Oh? Even when he was single though? I mean, Dustin and Suzie were married first, then you and Jonathan and then Max and Lucas, and then me and Steve… were last, so far anyway.”
“Well that’s true” Nancy starts, grabbing her spatula and transferring the nuggets onto a serving platter. “But Steve’s the only one in the Party who just wholeheartedly couldn’t wait to be a parent.”
You’re smiling down at the bowls of candy in front of you. “He’s going to be an amazing father.”
“He is,” she agrees. “He was a great older brother to these kids growing up. You should’ve seen him. Especially with Dustin.”
“I wish I would’ve been around then. Hearing your stories, seeing the closeness between everyone. It’s so beautiful.” Your eyes well up with tears “You’re like a family, but like more than that even. I feel so blessed to even be allowed in.”
“Oh y/n are you okay?” Nancy rushes around the island over to your stool. She rubs your back as you start to cry.
“I’m fine I promise,” your chest heaving “it’s the hormones I swear.”
“You are our family y/n. And we are so happy to have you. You make Steve so happy, and you’re giving him a gift that he’s always wished for. If anyone’s blessed, it’s us.” She grabs your hands and helps you down off the stool, “why don’t you go to the bathroom and get cleaned up and I’ll meet you out in the living room with all the food okay?” You nod, realizing your mascara must’ve been running down your face.
The half bath is right across the hall from the living room. You could hear everyone chatting, laughing and catching up as you wipe your cheeks free of the dark streaks of watered down mascara. You’re not trying to eavesdrop, but with nothing else to focus on you end up listening in on Steve, Robin, and Jonathan’s conversation. Especially when it becomes clear they’re talking about you.
“Wait so how did you two meet again?” Robin asks.
“In the second semester of my first year, she was in my Lighting and Exposure class. We had to do a project with a partner and she just walked up to me and asked if I wanted to work with her.” Jonathan said with a nervous tremor. “I was a little hesitant at first but she wouldn’t really take no for an answer and I didn’t know anyone in the class so.”
“She is a stubborn one isn’t she?” Steve laughed.
“Yeah” Jon mused.
“And just like that you were friends?” Robin seemed a little skeptical that that was the end of the story.
“I mean yeah, we worked on the project together and learned we had a lot in common so we started hanging out more. Introduced her to Argyle after a while and yeah… we were inseparable after that I guess.”
Steve stayed quiet, you knew he was the jealous type. Like an excitable guard dog. Thankfully he wasn’t one to growl until it seemed like there truly was an intruder but the silence meant he was watching. Waiting. Protective of his little family.
He’d never been jealous of your friendship with Jonathan, even knowing how you used to feel about him. He knew you and Jonathan were still close. He seemed very secure in your relationship. But hearing about the time before him seemed to make him uncomfortable.
“So what about that semester when you and Nancy were broken up? You never thought about, like asking y/n out? Or were you never attracted to her that way?”
You almost burst out of the bathroom with that line of questioning. What the hell was Robin trying to do? But you were curious too, so you stayed as quiet as you could in the bathroom, ear practically pressed flush with the door.
“Uh” Jonathan coughed, “I guess I just always saw her as more of a sister.” Oh that stung.
“Damn. Poor girl never even had a chance with you.”
You froze. All the blood leaving your face.
“What do you mean? Never had a chan- she never, wait, did she say something-“
“Damnit Robin.” Steve sighed heavily.
Their voices seemed to fade, like Steve was dragging her away. “I said too much again, didn't I? I’m so sorry Steve, please don’t tell her. Oh my-“
You flushed the toilet and washed your hands, having spent too much time in the bathroom now to have just been wiping your face, or even just peeing. You were mortified. But you had to go out there like nothing was wrong, like you didn’t hear your husband's best friend expose you to your best friend.
You exited the bathroom to find everyone sitting down on the couches and piles of pillows on the floor. Steve was sitting near the center of the main sofa, Robin on one side and an empty spot for you on the other. You waddled over to the couch and slowly lowered yourself into the open seat. Exhaling in relief when he pulled your aching feet into his lap to rub them.
“Whiiiipped” Dustin whispered from the floor. Suzie slapped him hard in the chest “ow. Sorry geez.”
“I think it’s sweet Dusty, you’re not going to rub my feet when they start to swell?”
“Of course I will honey. I’ll do whatever you need to be comfortable.” He kisses her on the cheek.
“Now who’s whipped,” Steve mumbles.
You look down at the couple, confusion written on your face. You’re not sure if they realize what they have just confessed. “Suzie, are you..?”
She smiles wide and just nods. The whole room goes nuts with excitement and congratulations.
“That’s amazing Suz I’m so happy for you! Looks like we won't be the only parents in the Party for long.” You nudge Steve with your shoulder. He looks like he’s about to burst into tears. His first child, his little brother, about to be a parent himself. He couldn’t be more proud.
“Who's next?” You ask, looking around the room.
“Probably you again.” Mike laughs.
“Let me have this one first before even thinking about the next one Mike. Geez. Give my uterus a break.” You huff, “but damned if I don’t agree, it’s going to be me or Suzie again. Or there will be a long break and it’ll be Nancy.”
“That would be a very long break” she chuckles, “Jonathan and I agreed, no kids until I’m further in my career. Probably will be a long long time.”
“Whenever you’re ready! Don’t let anyone push you to have them sooner.”
“Did Steve push you to have one so soon?” Max asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
A devious smile creeped up your lips, “oh I didn’t have a choice, but it wasn’t because he pushed me into it, it’s because of his massive d-“
“PLEASE,” Will called out from beside Mike, “not again. I beg you. We’ve heard enough about Steve’s” he gestured wildly with his hands “stuff.”
You can’t help but laugh, Steve joining in, squeezing your ankle in the process. “I’m just joking. We made the choice together as a couple. We were just ready,” you look up into Steve’s warm loving eyes, “Steve’s always been ready, you all know that. So he waited patiently for me. But it didn’t take too long, obviously. I just couldn’t wait to have a little Steve running around.” He kisses you softly when you finish.
When the second movie ends, everyone gets up and stretches their legs. Some rushing to the bathroom, some grabbing the bowls of popcorn and candy, others cleaning up the trash. You’re still sitting on the couch, perks of being weighed down by a tiny human, when Jonathan approaches.
He rubs the back of his neck, tremor in his voice as he says, “Hey y/n so I’ve got a project I’ve been working on, I’d like to show you now if that’s okay?”
“Sure,” you smile and offer both your hands to him “but you’ll have to get me up first.”
He grabs your hands and yanks you up out of the soft sofa. “When are you due again? Feel like you’ve been pregnant forever.”
“Me too. Due date is a week from now but the doctor said it could be any day now.” He leads you up the stairs to the second floor where he’s converted one of the spare bedrooms into his own little darkroom.
The window in the room is completely blacked out. Covered by a piece of plywood painted black. No light getting through, it’s perfectly snug. He flips on a light and the red bulb flickers to life in the middle of the room. You waddle in, taking in the scenery as your eyes adjust to the darkness. He shuts the door behind you. In the dark it’s almost impossible to see where he is. The red light not much help.
“This is amazing Jonathan. Now we won’t have to drag everything to and from the Arts center anymore.”
“Yeah,” he huffs a laugh “I figured that would be a lot more difficult now, with the baby and everything.”
“You.. didn’t do this for me… did you?”
“No, well” he takes a deep breath, “not just for you. I did it for us.”
“Oh”
“Not like that,” he rubs his hand across his face, “I mean like, shit. I just meant that I knew you’d have a hard time dragging a baby to the Arts center and well, I wouldn’t want to go without you and knowing that you weren’t there because you couldn’t go. Not because you didn’t want to be there. And you’re my best friend and I want you to be happy. I want to be able to still see you and do the thing we love, together.”
“Jonathan,” you find him in the darkness, giving his arm a squeeze “that’s so sweet. Thank you. This means a lot.”
“Of course.” He clears his throat, “I did uh, I did want to ask you about something though.”
Your heart drops to your stomach. You knew what he was going to ask about. You’d hoped maybe he’d just forget about it though. “Sure” you whisper.
“I was talking to Robin earlier and she said something that confused me.”
“Sounds like Robin” a nervous giggle choking out of you. You cough awkwardly into your fist and wait. Leaning on the table next to you.
Jonathan mimics you in the dark, leaning his hip against the table and placing his hand flat against it. “You never like, had a thing for me…did you?”
You breathed out a heavy sigh. Weighing the pros and cons in your head. If you lied to him you would always have this pressure on your chest. You never lied to him, he was the closest person to you, after Steve of course. But would it ruin your friendship if you told him the truth?
You knew there wasn’t really a point in weighing your options. There was only one really choice here. You were always going to be honest with him. “Yeah. Yeah I did have a thing for you. Of course I did.” Your laugh was breathy, full of nerves. You weren’t ready to lose your best friend. Your family.
“Why didn’t you ever say anything?” He inched his fingers towards yours on the table. Barely brushing against your fingertips.
“Well, I thought I was dropping hints there for a while but you never really picked up on them I guess? And then you and Nancy got back together so I just decided that you know. It doesn’t matter now.”
“Dropping hints? Y/n I’ve never known you to drop hints. You usually just say whatever you’re thinking. Bold and stubborn and loud.”
“Those don’t sound like compliments.”
“Trust me,” he slipped his hand over yours and squeezed. “They are.” He laughed a little under his breath, “I can’t believe you used to like me.”
“Jonathan” your chest was tight, “I didn’t just used to like you. I was in love with you.”
“You, you loved me?” He sounded so taken off guard. Like he didn't even think for a second that was a possibility.
“I did. Well, I still love you of course. Im just not IN love with you anymore. But it doesn’t matter now. And honestly, I’m so glad things turned out the way they did. You and Nancy are perfect for each other. And if it wasn’t for your wedding I never would have met the love of my life. And I wouldn’t be having this baby. And I wouldn’t take any of it back.” You took in a deep shuddering breath, “everything worked out exactly the way it was supposed to.”
He squeezed your hand again and let go, “You’re right. I wouldn’t change anything either. But I do wish I would’ve known. Maybe I could’ve made things easier on you. Pulled back on the PDA or something. Or maybe even introduced you to Steve sooner.”
“There’s no telling if I’d be with Steve now if I’d met him sooner. We only went home together because we were both sad about the people we loved getting married…”
“Oh come on y/n” you heard a voice muffled from outside the door.
“Shit. Pretend I didn’t say that. Please please forget I said that.” You yelled back at Jonathan as you ran to leave through the dark room door.
“You heard everything huh” you said as you met Steve in the hallway.
“Yeah.” He looked down at his shoes. “Didn’t mean to eavesdrop or anything. Just came up to see if you were ready to go.”
“I’m sorry I spilled your secret. I was only trying to explain my side. Didn’t mean to throw you under the bus with me.”
He looked down at you, hand coming to your cheek, forehead pressing to yours. “It’s okay sweetheart. You said some really pretty things in there. And I want you to know that, I wouldn’t change a thing either.” He kisses you gently.
“I love you so much baby.” You whisper against his mouth.
“I love you too. More than anything.”
Edward William Harrington was born 2 days later. Ten fingers and ten toes. A full head of hair, thanks Steve. So so tiny. The most beautiful little thing you had ever laid eyes on.
Steve sat close next to you on the hospital bed, holding little Eddie in his arms. He hadn’t stopped silently crying since you’d handed the bundle over to him. You’d never seen the man happier than in this moment. “He’s perfect.” Steve whispered.
“He really is.”
“I should call my parents.”
Your face scrunched up, “I guess you should. You called Joyce and Hopper already right?”
“Yeah, yeah they’re in the waiting room. I’ll go get them, just- just want a few more minutes to admire our little guy before the chaos.”
“Okay, big boy. Take all the time you need.”
He leans down and kisses your forehead. “I’m just overwhelmed,” he takes a shuddering breath, laughing on the exhale “Didn’t think it was possible to be this happy.”
“Me either.” Your cheeks hurt from how hard you’re smiling, “Feels like a dream. Well, all this with you and the baby I mean. My vagina does not feel like a dream. It feels very much real.”
When Mr. and Mrs. Harrington arrive, you have your best fake smile plastered across your face. You hadn’t seen them since the baby shower and you didn’t want to see them now. But keeping up appearances was the Harrington way.
“Would you look at that.” Mrs. Harrington said, voice low as she walked over to the bed. “He is gorgeous.”
“He is isnt he?” Your rocking him lightly in the crook of your elbow. Watching as he sucks on his own lip.
“How was the labor?” She asked. And you looked straight up to Steve. His face instantly fell into a grimace. Knowing she’d walked right into this one.
You look up at her and smile, “well, it wasn’t too bad actually. Steve’s cock is roughly the size of a newborn baby so Eddie just kinda slipped right out.”
She snapped her head to look at Steve, anger written all over her face, “why do you let her talk to me this way?”
Steve pinched the bridge of his nose, hand on his hip. “I don’t control my wife, mom, she’s her own person. I don’t ‘let’ her do anything. She has free will.” He pauses and sighs, “and you did call her a whore at our baby shower.. so.”
“Well I don’t like her foul mouth.”
“Okay mom, well, it’s either put up with it or never see your grandson. What’ll it be?”
You smiled at her, all teeth when she looked back at you. “Fine.” she said through gritted teeth.
“I’ll try to clean up my mouth Mama Harrington. As long as you promise to be a good and kind grandparent, and remember your place. I am Eddie’s mother. I make the choices in how to raise him, as well as Steve. Not you.”
After your in-laws left, Steve put your sleeping baby boy in his little bassinet and sat back on the bed with you again. Kissing your hair and rubbing your shoulders. “I couldn’t have asked for a better husband.” You look up at him as he leans in to kiss you gently. “You’re always standing up for me. Even when I say the most disgusting things to your parents.”
“Well. I mean they deserve it.”
“I know, and that’s why I do it. A little payback for being such shitty parents to you.”
“I’m honestly so grateful for it. I’ve never had someone care for me the way you do. Can’t believe how lucky I got with you.”
“You’re gunna get lucky with me. Soon as that 6 week mark hits. Gunna get lucky with me a lot.”
Steve laughs, squeezing your shoulder “Oh I know it baby, Im looking forward to it.”
“This is going to be the longest time we’ve gone without having sex.”
“Mmhm, it’s gunna be hard to keep my hands off of my sexy wife.”
“Don’t worry big boy, I’ll still blow you.” You bite your lip as you slide your hand up his thigh. “We can’t have penetrative sex but no one said anything about me giving you oral.”
Steve swallows hard, “Shit sweetheart, that mouth is always trying to get me in trouble.”
“So you’re saying yes to the blow job?”
“Oh no no, baby I honestly think we’re going to be too tired to even think about all that once we get home,” He places his hand on your cheek and pulls your face to look up at him, “and I'm honestly not interested in any of that unless you’re also receiving.”
“Mm my sweet selfless man.”
“Well it’s not completely selfless, I get off to you getting off.”
“Ugh fuck, I’m going to drop this conversation right here. My crotch hurts too much to think of mutual gratification.”
Steve kisses you softly on the tip of your nose, “I know my love, get some rest okay?” He gets off the bed gently and sits in the recliner next to the bassinet, “might as well get some sleep while he’s sleeping.”
2 months later
Raising a newborn as sweet and quiet as Eddie was a joy. A blessing. A surprise to say the least. Motherhood came easy to you and fatherhood even easier to Steve. He was your whole world. But because of this, you and Steve had not had a second to yourselves.
“I swear Nancy, every single time I try and touch Steve in any way, Eddie starts crying. And I’m not complaining about taking care of my sweet little bundle of joy. He’s so easy to care for, but his timing is crazy.” You let out a deep sigh, hugging the phone closer to your ear “last night, I cuddled up against Steve not 5 minutes after laying Eddie down in his bassinet, and I’m thinking okay, okay here we go. I’m not kidding okay, the moment- the very second I kiss his neck, Eddie starts wailing. It’s like he has a little alarm in his brain for when mommy and daddy want to love on each other.”
Nancy laughs, “That does sound like a rather unfortunate dilemma.”
“It is, it really is. I was given the okay to resume marital activities two weeks ago and the farthest we’ve gone is kissing, no tongue, and a thigh grip.”
“A thigh grip? Who gripped who?”
“It was me, gripping myself because I’m deprived, but Eddie wouldn’t let me have that either.” You whine.
“How about you and Steve drop Eddie off here this weekend. Jon and I would love to watch that beautiful little angel baby.”
“Wait, are you sure? Oh Nancy, thank you. Please, yes.”
“Absolutely. We could use some practice anyway right?”
“Well you are welcome to practice with all of the kids we have until you have your own. Seriously, thank you.”
You’re staring down at your sweet little boy as you walk up the Byers residence. Admiring his thick brown hair, large dark eyes, and sweet little button nose. He’s looking up at you from the crook of your elbow and cooing.
The closer you get to the door, the more anxious you start to feel. You’ve never been away from Eddie for longer than 30 minutes, and that was just to shower. He was always in the same room as you, or one room over.
“Are you okay, baby?” Steve asks as you reach the door. He puts his hand on the small of your back.
You feel a tear slip down your cheek, “Yeah, yeah I’m just- I’ve never been away from him. I’m scared to leave him. What if something happens while we’re away and he gets hurt or sick and I won’t be there to take care of him.”
“Oh honey,” he wipes the tear from your cheek and pulls your head to lean on his shoulder, little Eddie cooing between you. “He will be perfectly fine. Nancy and Jon are going to take such good care of him. I trust them with my life, I know they will do everything in their power to keep our boy safe. I know they will.”
You nod, sniffling lightly. “Okay. You’re right. I know you’re right.”
You reach out and ring the doorbell. In less than 30 seconds Jonathan is there swinging the door open with the dopiest smile you’ve ever seen on him. “Hey!! Let me have him!!” Jon extends his arms out, making grabby hands.
He looks so happy you can’t help but hand the baby right over to him. Just like that the anxious feeling disappears, you know he’s in safe and loving arms.
“Hey Eddie,” Jonathan rocks him gently, “it’s me, Uncle Jonathan. Do you remember me? From the hospital?” Eddie’s little hand grips onto Jonathan’s finger, he squeals and flails his little arms.
“Thank you for doing this Jon,” you pat his arm, moving around him in the doorway to step into the foyer. “It means a lot to us.”
Steve puts the diaper bag down on the entryway table. “This is everything you’ll need. Y/n pumped enough milk for 2 days so you should have plenty. He’s not used to the bottle nipple so it might take a few tries to get him to drink from it. But otherwise, he’s super easy. He just eats and sleeps and does his cute little baby noises right now.”
“If he gives you any trouble, Mom said to just call her and she’ll come right over. I know you won’t though. But maybe just let Mom come over anyway, she’s been coming over like twice a week but I wouldn’t let her this week so she’s probably itching for a visit.”
Jonathan breathes a laugh, “Alright sounds good. Thanks for trusting us guys. We’ve really been looking forward to having this little one in the house.”
Steve squeezes your hip, wrapping his arm around you and pulling you close “alright I think that’s our cue to leave.”
You look down at Eddie in Jonathan’s arms. He’s started to blink slowly, falling asleep as you watch him. “Bye bye my love,” you whisper, leaning down to kiss his forehead, “be good for your uncle.”
When you move out of the way, Steve leans in to kiss him too, smoothing his hair from his forehead with his thumb. When he looks back at you, his eyes are glassy. You grab his hand and squeeze it.
“Have fun you two!” Jonathan calls as you walk out the front door.
Once you're both buckled into the car Steve looks over at you and clears his throat, “So- uh, when did you start calling Joyce mom?”
“Oh well, I guess it started just recently.” You smooth your hands over your soft blue dress. “She’s been a mother figure to me for years now, as you know. But with her coming over all the time now and calling Eddie her first grandchild, well, she is my mom. Yanno? And she is Eddie’s grandma and I don’t know. It just feels right to call her mom.”
Steve reaches out to you, grabbing your hand and squeezing your fingers gently, “That makes me really happy sweetheart.”
The hotel room is almost as nice as the room you stayed in for your honeymoon. You’d decided to stay in a hotel rather than going back to the house, because the house would just remind you of Eddie. And that would just lead to missing your baby. This was a little escape. A chance to spend uninterrupted time with your husband.
You're stalking around, checking out the room when Steve sneaks up behind you and wraps you in a bear hug. “It’s so quiet in here” he murmurs into your neck.
“Mmm, it really is. No music, no sweet baby sounds, no creaking rocking chair.”
“It’s just you and me sweetheart.” Steve starts kissing a line down your neck and over your shoulder, pulling the soft neckline of your dress out of the way.
“Yeah? And what do you wanna do with me now that you’ve got me all to yourself?”
He turns you around in his arms so you’re face to face with him, immediately kissing you hard and licking into your mouth without resistance. “Fuck” you moan into his mouth.
“I’m going to make love to you slowly,” he whispers into your mouth, “but not until after I fuck you.”
You let out a pathetic sounding whimper, clenching your thighs at the thought, “Please baby yes, it’s been too long. Want you to ruin me.”
He picks you up by your waist and throws you onto the bed in the middle of the room, crawling over you. His fingertips trail slowly up the length of your thighs, pushing your dress up as he goes. Steve’s eyes are black with desire. He leans up over you and whispers in your ear as he grips your mound in one hand, “I'm gonna make you cum twice on my tongue and then I want you to cum on my cock, understood?”
You feel the slick of your arousal spilling from you. The combination of not having sex in months and Steve’s words have you writhing against his palm. “Yes, Daddy, I understand” you whimper.
“Fuck, good girl.” he moans, “so fucking wet for me already. Can feel you soaking through your little panties.”
“Missed you touching me, Stevie” you mewl, you can’t stop thrusting your hips into his hand “Missed your fingers, and your tongue.” He takes his hand off your clothed cunt and starts to pull your underwear down with two fingers. “Mmm, I miss your gorgeous cock. Seeing you in the shower just isn’t the same. Need you warm inside me.”
He huffs a breathless laugh, biting his lower lip, “You didn’t find me sexy while I helped you and our son bathing in the shower?”
“It was sexy in a different way baby, like in a wow I’m so lucky to have such a loving attentive husband- ah” your sentence is cut off by Steve’s hot mouth on your neck, sucking a biting a bruise on your pulse point, “fuck, mmm this is a very different kind of sexy.”
He licks up the column of your throat to your mouth and hovers just above your kiss swollen lips, “I know baby I’m just teasing you” he smiles, pressing a quick kiss to your waiting lips and sucking your bottom lip into his mouth.
“I don’t know how much teasing I can take, I’m close to bursting. And I know that’s not the teasing you were talking about but fuck you’re doing both right now.”
Steve snorts, “awww my poor little girl needs me huh?” He mocks.
“Yes Daddy I really do” his eyes roll to the back of his head and bucks gently into you involuntarily. “If you’re gunna make me cum twice on your tongue big boy, then you better get started cause I need your cock. I. Need. It. I can’t take anymore build up, I’ll run out of fluid.”
Steve laughs and moves his hand back down to your aching cunt. He runs two fingers through your folds, “You’re so fucking wet” he says, bringing his fingers to his mouth and sucking them clean. You arch your back, writhing beneath him.
“Please please I really can’t do teasing right now, I need you.”
“Okay okay” he bites his lip, “so do you want my tongue at all then or do you just want me to fuck you?”
“I want your tongue later, we have all night. I need your cock now. I’m literally creating a puddle, I don’t need any foreplay. Foreplay was the drive over here, the anticipation was foreplay. Let’s go cowboy, put your monster in my cave.”
“Yes ma’am” he leans in to kiss you deeply before getting up off the bed and chucking his pants and boxers off at lightning speed. You rip your comfortable cotton dress off and throw it to the floor.
“Oh fuck there he is,” you moan reaching for Steve with grabby hands.
He crawls over you again, placing himself gently between your open legs, “you miss me? I was only gone for a second.” He says starting a trail of kiss from your clavicle up to your neck.
“You I see you all the time, I missed him” you say reaching down and grabbing his cock, giving it a little stroke. He starts a laugh but it’s strangled, a breathy exhale replacing it. “I haven’t seen him in months.”
Steve sits up suddenly, grabbing your legs by the thighs and pulling you closer to him. Lining himself up with your entrance he smirks up at you, slapping your wet cunt with his member, still teasing. Your hands fly up to his toned biceps, nails digging into his skin, babbling incoherently. You’re lost in desperation, painfully aroused and waiting, begging him to just fuck you already.
He pushes the head of his cock in, ripping an obnoxious moan from you both. And that does it, that pushes the playfulness out of Steve, at last taking his task seriously. He throws your legs over the crook of his arms and leans back over you. Kissing you forcefully before thrusting in all at once. Your scream is muffled by his mouth, tears already welling in your eyes. The onslaught of pleasure is overwhelming. “You okay baby?” He checks in, seeing your tears, “I didn’t hurt you did I?”
“No, no, no it feels so good. You’re so fucking big. Please, please move.”
He starts in a slow rhythm, it definitely feels more like making love than fucking and it’s overwhelming. Steve is looking right into your eyes and you're looking back and it’s like you're staring into each other's souls. Tangled like pretzels in this beautiful hotel room, you’ve never felt so at peace. You place a hand gently on the side of his face, tracing his bottom lip with your thumb. “I love you so much.” You whisper.
He closes his eyes, pressing his forehead to yours “I love you too.” He whispers back between shallow breaths, “luckiest man in the world.”
You giggle at that, “Mm I don’t know about that, but I’ll take it.” You kiss him gently before wiggling your hips a little, meeting his slow thrusts. “I need more big boy, wanna feel more of you.”
He nods, concentration clear on his face as he picks up the pace. Thrusting harder and deeper and quicker. “Like that? Mm?”
“Yesyesyesyes” you whine, throwing your head back against the comforter, eyes squeezed shut. When you look up at him again, he drops one of your legs and places a big hand on your face. Playing with your lips with his thumb until you open wide enough to let him stuff it in your hot wet mouth. You suck on it immediately, knowing what he wants. He curses under his breath and thrusts once harder, your responding moan vibrating through his thumb.
He takes it out of your mouth and reaches down between you to rub quick circles on your clit. “F-Fuck, I’m gunna cum baby, I’m gunna cum.” You cry out.
“Already?” He chuckles.
“It’s been- ahh - it’s been months since anything has” you struggle to form words as your vision starts to blur around the edges. “Since I’ve-“
Steve shushes you gently keeping up the rhythm with his hips and thumb until you're quivering and squeezing him from the inside. A string of expletives escaping between pornagraphic moans, cumming hard on his cock.
“Need a break?” He asks as you come back down to earth, feeling exhausted already from cumming so hard.
“No, I don’t need a break. Keep going, don’t stop.”
“You sure you’re not overstimulated? Give me a color baby.” He punctuates by rocking his hips gently.
“Definitely overstimulated but I like it, green green green.”
“Okay,” smiles, grabbing a milk swollen breast in one hand and kneading it. He lowers his head and sucks your nipple into his mouth. You laugh, watching milk slip past his lips but he just moans as he releases you. “Think your legs will hold you up if you flip over?”
“Only one way to find out.” You say, letting him slip out of you before you roll over and lift your ass in the air.
“Gorgeous,” Steve mumbles to himself before slapping your ass with a flat palm, gripping the fatty flesh with his fingers and shaking it. You let out a little yelp. Your ass fat giggles with the movement. He takes a moment to ogle your weeping core, running a finger through your folds. Your breathing is getting heavier again, needing more, your hole feels so empty without him. You push back on your knees, letting him know you're desperate with using words.
He slides his right hand up your spine, and pushes your front down lower to the mattress. He pushes into you again, slowly this time. And before he’s even all the way in he’s wrapping your hair around his fist and pulling. “This what you wanted? Hm? Wanted me to fuck you like a dirty little slut?” Once he’s buried deep he starts thrusting at a brutal pace.
You’re looking at him upside down from where he’s pulling your hair, tears streaming down your face. “Yes,” you whimper, breathing hard.
He slaps your ass again, harder this time. “Yes what?”
“Yes Daddy.” You cry out. He leans over your back and kisses you bruisingly hard. And you're glad that your child is still an infant because you know you’re going to be covered in bruises when you go home and that would not be fun to explain.
He drags his teeth down your shoulder and bites hard. You can’t help but clench around him at the sensation. He moans openly, diving back into your skin to suck a bruise just under his bite mark. “Gunna mark you up so everyone knows who you belong to.”
His possessiveness brings heat to your face, blushing hard at your husbands words. You’ve been married for years and everyone knows how in love you two are but it still feels so good to hear it. “Yours Stevie. Always. All yours.”
He slows down his brutal pace just a bit, you think he must be getting close. “Gunna fill you up. Fuck my cum into you until your round again. Put another baby in you.”
“Yes. No wait no. Yes.” You’re babbling back. Hoping this is just dirty talk because you’re not ready for another one yet.
He lets go of your hair, reaching under you to rub your still healing belly, “My sexy ass wife.” His hand slowly slips from your stomach to your clit where he starts rubbing in fast tight circles. “Never once stopped being sexy. Want you all the time.”
Oh yeah he’s definitely close. And thankfully so are you. “Are you close, baby? Gunna fill me up?”
“Yeah, yeah, want you to cum first though.” He says, leaning back and aiming his cock straight into your g-spot. It startles a scream out of you. “Is that the spot? Mm?”
You nod quickly. “Ahh- yes yes that’s it I’m so close baby right there fuck fuck fuck.” Your lower belly feels so warm as you feel your orgasm building. You feel so close but also like you’re about to piss yourself, but you don’t care because heck, Steve’s seen worse. You completely let go, losing yourself in the sensation. Your sweaty bodies are working together, wet slapping and sloshing sounds filling the room. You can’t stop the constant onslaught of moaning as he digs his fingernails into your hips, pulling you as hard as he can against him. And suddenly, you feel yourself gushing around him harder than you ever thought possible. A spray of your cum shooting so hard from your core it forces his cock out, soaking the bed and his lower torso.
“Holy shit, holy shit, did you just squirt?” Steve asks, shocked. He pushes back into you, pulling your torso up against his, trying to not slip out with all the your arousal slicking him up. “Fuck baby, that was so hot. That was so fucking hot” he moans in your ear as he comes deep inside your pussy. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know I said I wouldn’t but fuck that was so hot I had to.”
“It’s okay,” you laugh. He pulls out of you and you turn to kiss him. Your kisses are long and languid. Full of love and awe. “Didn’t know I could do that.”
“Obviously. But now that I know I’m going to keep aiming for it.”
“You better. Felt so good. I’m so tired now though.”
He lays you gently on your back against the pillows. “Sure you’re not ready for another baby? I won’t force it if you’re not ready yet.”
“Doc said I shouldn’t for at least a few more months.. but I think.. if it happens then, it was meant to be. I’m not saying we should start trying again, but if it takes then it takes. I’ve heard it’s harder to get pregnant while breastfeeding so just, don’t get your hopes up okay?”
“Okay, that’s fair. All of it. I love you. I love you and I love our family so much.”
“I love you too baby.” He kisses your nose. “Six little nuggets right?”
“6 little nuggets.” He agrees.
They did in fact, get pregnant on this mini vacation. With twins. And in the end, they had 8 little nuggets.
Eddie, Stephanie, Samantha, Robbie, Dustin James, Fernando (yes, after the ABBA song, thanks Steve), Harper Joyce, and Henry… hahaha just kidding.
The last of the bunch was Christina. But they called her Chrissy. She was born on a Friday, with all the love of her family around her. Steve and y/n looked down at her full of the same amount of love and awe they shared at each and every birth. And as they looked into each others eyes, sitting close as they were at the birth of their first born, they agreed that they were done and their family was complete.
“You’re getting a vasectomy, right?”
Steve laughed, kissing your cheek gently, “Yeah, it’s scheduled for Tuesday.”
“That’s great news.” You whimpered, a tear dropping down your face.
“Yeah, it’s going to knock my breeding kink down a notch though.”
“Well, we’ll have a lot of fun pretending at least. You can just cum inside me as much as you want without consequence.”
Steve took a sharp inhale, “you’re right.” He slid off of the bed, tenderly taking Chrissy from your arms and laying her in the bassinet. “I’m just going to pop to the bathroom for a second.”
“Noo not fair. I know what you’re going to do in there. You do this every tiiime. You can’t turn us both on and expect me to not be jealous.”
“Sorry baby,” he smirked, kissing your cheek before heading towards the ensuite toilet. “Your parents said they’ll be here soon with Eddie and the twins so, just think about that.”
“What about Will and Mike? I thought they were going to introduce us to Amara today?”
“Well, Will said he didn’t want to take away from Chrissy. He said he’ll bring her over next week.”
“And what did Mike say?”
He runs a hand through his hair, other hand on his hip, “Mike said and I quote ‘We finally adopt a little girl after trying for 5 years and you’re saying you don’t want to make the birth of their eighth child less special?”
“Classic.” You laugh, “he is kind of right though, Chris won’t remember this, she doesn’t care. But I’m dying to meet their daughter.”
“I said the same thing but, it’s fine we’ll meet her next week. In the meantime I’m going to go take care of business.”
“Yeah yeah. Asshole. I love you.”
“I love you too, y/n.” He said as he closed the door.
Bonus side story
Taking place a few weeks after the mini vacay
Jonathan opens the door quickly, wide grin on his face as he takes your extra bags and sets them down on the entryway table. Eddie is sleeping in the car seat and you set him down gently on the floor next to the table.
“Good to see you as always Johnny boy.” You bring him in for a tight hug.
“You as well y/n.” He pats your back gently before pulling away. “Ready to develop some film?”
“You know it! I’ve got some hot pictures and I’ve been itching to see how they turned out. And some cute ones of course of my precious little angel baby.”
Jon rubs the back of his neck nervously, “Hopefully not too hot, don’t know if you’d want me in the room for those.”
“If they’re too hot I’ll send you out of the room, how about that?”
“I guess so” he chuckles.
“Not like you’ve never seen me naked before, remember that time when you, me, and Argyle went on the field trip to Malibu? We all got really high and Argyle dared us to skinny dip in the ocean and-“
“Yes yes shhh” he put his hand over your mouth “Nancy doesn’t know about that.” He whispers.
“Nothing even happened though,” you smirk, slapping his arm “well, not between you and me anyway.” You wink at him, turning on your heels to pick up the car seat and head up the stairs. “Have you heard from Argyle lately? I miss him.”
“Uh yeah, I heard from him a couple weeks ago. Said he finally finished the paper work for the franchise in West Covina… what do you mean nothing happened with us but… did something happen with you and Argyle?”
You stop just before the dark room door, placing Eddie just behind you. “Well, I mean yeah… you had just gotten back together with Nancy and I mean now you know I was kinda in love with you then so I don’t feel bad saying that well… I don’t know, Argyle was a little sad too about that. I mean not that.” You look down at your feet, sweat beading at your neck, “ANYWAY, yeah. After you went back to the hotel room we slept together, on the beach. Not slept but you know. We had sex.”
“Wow. I had no idea you had a one night stand with our college best friend.”
You cough into your hand, “Yeah. Yeah. It wasn’t quite a one night stand. That was the first time though.”
“Y/N…”
“What?? I was lonely and so was he and just kinda found some peace in each others bodies a few times. A lot of times. These words sound like deja vu but the experiences were totally different.”
“Wha.. how many…f-for how long?”
“Jon come on, it’s not a big deal. It was only like maybe 50 or so times in like the span of a month.”
He pinch’s the bridge of his nose, hand on his hip looking like a perfect mimicry of your husbands mom pose. “And you never thought to tell me?”
“Why would I? It wasn’t serious, we never got past regular friendship feelings and it didn’t last that long so, thought it was best to not bring it up.”
“Well, I mean okay. It’s just weird to me because of how much you talk about your sex life with Steve.”
“That’s different, Steve is the romantic love of my life. And I love Argyle but not like that. I’m not going to talk openly about a friends with benefits situation no matter how much it rocked my world.” You wink.
He lets out a deep sigh, “Alright, well. I now know too much about too many of my friends.”
“Oh come on I barely even said anything about Argyle. He was good though, really really good. You should’ve given him a chance.”
“What??”
Your eyes widen, “Nothing, let’s develop these nudes shall we?”
“Yeah.. yeah okay. Let me see if Nancy can watch Eddie for a bit.”
“She can and she will” Nancy says, coming out of their bedroom. She bends over Eddie’s care seat and unbuckles him, pulling him out and pressing him into her chest. “I always had a feeling Argyle had a crush on you.” She said as she turned back towards her bedroom.
“What??” Jon exclaimed looking at her back as she walked away.
“Man you really are oblivious.” You laugh, opening the darkroom door. “Or just really blinded by your love for Nance.”
“Yeah let’s go with that.”
“I think that’s beautiful, Jon. So blinded by love you don’t even notice anyone else’s interest.”
You can’t see it in the dark of the room but you know he’s blushing.
“Also, please don’t tell Argyle I accidentally hinted at his crush. Man, we are really bad at keeping secrets in this group.”
“Yes it would seem we are.” He agrees, beginning his developing process.
“I think I’m pregnant.”
You hear a clatter, like metal and paper and plastic falling to the ground along with a human like thud.
“Are you okay?? What happened?” You call out, arms reaching out in the dark.
“I’m okay,” he chokes. “Again?”

A Less Than Perfect Proposal
Howard Stark/Fem!Reader
Words: 1,837
Summary: He was already nervous that you won’t say yes before your job gets in the way of the time he was going to propose. 
Requested By: anonymous
Howard Stark Masterlist 
When Peggy and Daniel stepped into the SSR bullpen one morning, they were shocked to see Howard standing outside the chief’s office. “Howard?” Peggy asked as he turned around to face them. “What are you doing here?”
He seemed jumpy and unlike himself, especially because he didn’t seem to register what Peggy said, instead looking past them as if he was trying to avoid someone. “Is everything alright?” Daniel asked.
“Is Y/N here yet?” was Howard’s response, and it only confused Peggy more. You were Howard’s girlfriend, shouldn’t he know where you were? She knew that you didn’t live together (despite the many times Howard had asked you to move into his mansion), but there was definitely a side of the story that she didn’t know.
Peggy shook her head. “She’s not coming in for another hour, why?”
“Good, I wanted to talk to you two.”
“Howard, you’re worrying me now,” Peggy said, as Daniel opened the door to his office and they all walked inside. “What on earth is the matter?”
The door had barely closed behind them when Howard spoke. “I want to propose to Y/N.”
Daniel started to smile, but his face faltered when he saw Howard’s expression. “I was going to congratulate you, but why do you look like you don’t want to ask?”
“I’m nervous she won’t say yes.”
Peggy nearly laughed out loud when he spoke, but she managed to keep her face neutral. “Howard, I’ve seen you two together,” she said. “And I can’t think of a single reason to make me think she would say no.”
“But what-”
“Howard,” Peggy said, cutting him off. “Why are you really so nervous?”
“About a month after we started dating, I heard her talking to Jarvis about marriage,” Howard spoke quietly, and he looked down at the floor. “And she said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to get married or anything like that. Then Jarvis asked if she would consider it when she had found the right person, and she said yes, but it didn’t seem like she was too convinced of her own words.”
“You’ve been dating for over a year,” Peggy responded. “A lot has probably changed in that time, especially if she’s still around.”
“I know, but I still worry that she’ll say no.”
“And if she does, what would happen?” Daniel asked. “If she still doesn’t want to get married at this time, would you break up with her?”
Howard was silent, clearly having not thought about that question. “I think you should consider why you see marriage as the only option here,” Peggy said. “And it’s not to say that you shouldn’t ask her, but if she says she doesn’t want to get married, why you believe there’s no future for you after that.”
“You’re right,” was his response, and it was clear that his brain was running a million miles a minute. He bid Peggy and Daniel goodbye without another word, and they watched as he walked out the door. The two of them busied themselves with files and other paperwork, and they hoped that they had said the right thing to try and console him.
Howard had already made plans with you for that evening, so he just went back to his house, his mind racing the whole time. Peggy was right, and even if you did say no, there was no reason for him to throw out your relationship entirely. He knew that he didn’t ever want to be with anyone else, and although getting to call you “Mrs. Stark” is something he’d been dreaming of for longer than he’d be willing to admit, it wasn’t the most important thing in the world. You were the most important thing in the world to him, and as long as you would love and care for him, he could deal with whatever he had to in order to keep you.
You would be coming by to have dinner with him after work that day, so he got to work making everything perfect. Jarvis and Ana would be going out to dinner for the evening, so the house would be completely empty. There were instructions on how to heat up what Jarvis had prepared for dinner (he was well aware of Howard’s plans and wished him luck in his proposal), and the dining room was already set with the nicest china dishes they had.
At five o’clock, Howard picked out a bottle of wine from his stash and set it out on the table. The oven was on, and he’d be putting the food in soon. He waved goodbye to Jarvis and Ana, and he tried not to think too much about whether or not you’d say yes to his proposal.
At five thirty, he sat on the couch and waited for you to ring the doorbell. The radio was on, and the sound of Glenn Miller’s music filled the room.
At six fifteen, Howard was starting to get worried. Not that you had abandoned him (even though that definitely crossed his mind for a moment), but that something had happened to you. Your work as an SSR agent meant that you were always putting yourself in the middle of situations that could be dangerous, and he always worried about your safety. And with Peggy’s russian spy neighbor still at large, anything could happen that meant you were in harm’s way, something he didn’t want to think about.
At seven o’clock, that worry kicked up a notch. The food had already been out of the oven for nearly an hour, but he was no longer hungry. He tried calling the SSR, but there was no answer.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. If you were in the middle of a raid or another kind of life-threatening situation, the last thing you’d want is him showing up like an impetulant toddler. So he decided to keep the nice dishes on the table (though he extinguished the candles and put away the food) while he sat in the living room and listened to the radio.
At one point he took the ring out of his pocket and looked at it, the large diamond shimmering in the light. He hoped that it would be to your liking, though he knew it was probably a bit ostentatious. He couldn’t help his expensive tastes after all. He still felt nervous about asking you, though with how tonight has gone he would probably have to reschedule this dinner. He sat by the phone for the rest of the night, hoping that it would ring and you would tell him that you were alright, and eventually he drifted off to sleep on his couch.
***
You could barely keep your eyes open by the time you waved goodbye to Peggy and Daniel and headed back to your car. So much had happened in the last few hours that you had to stay late and help your fellow agents. Thankfully those responsible for the chaos of the last twelve hours were now safely in SSR holding and will be dealt with accordingly, but it didn’t change the fact that you missed date night. You felt bad for not showing up, but you were sure that Howard had guessed what was happening (situations like this were fairly common at your place of employment). You desperately wanted to go home and collapse on your bed, but you decided to go to Howard’s instead and let him know that you were okay.
Jarvis answered the door and told you that Howard was in the living room, but you were surprised to see him sleeping on the couch when you stepped in. Your heart dropped when you saw the nice dinnerware on the table and the bottle of wine between the place settings, the remnants of the date that never was.
But the biggest surprise was the little box sitting on the floor next to the couch, like it had been dropped from his hand as he fell asleep. You quietly walked over and picked it up, and your mouth dropped when you realized what that little black box was holding. You stood there and stared at it for so long that you didn’t even realize that Howard had woken up, and he had noticed you. “This isn’t how I pictured this happening by the way.”
You turned to face him, confused as to what was going on. “What?”
He nodded towards the ring box you were holding. “I was going to ask you last night, but that plan was ruined. And I’m not someone who would try to lie my way out of this situation by telling you that I was holding the box for Daniel or something.” He stood up from the couch and gently took the box from your hands, and your eyes widened as you realized what was happening. “This was supposed to be done in a more romantic way, but I don’t think I could wait another second to ask you. I know marriage wasn’t something you really thought about, but I wanted to ask if you’d make me the happiest man alive and agree to be Mrs. Stark?”
You were silent, not sure what to say. Obviously you wanted to say yes, but the adrenaline from the night before was starting to wear off, and your fatigue was growing more with each second. “Yes,” you managed to choke out, holding your breath as he slipped the ring onto your finger.
He stood up and immediately leaned in to kiss you, his hands finding your waist almost immediately. When you broke apart, he leaned in to kiss your cheek. “I love you,” he said.
“Did you really think I’d say no?” you asked, eyebrows raised.
“I heard you tell Jarvis-”
You cut him off with a laugh, because you knew what he was referencing. “Howard, we had just barely started dating. I had always been skeptical of marriage, but you are the one person who changed my mind on that. I love you, and I’ve known that I would have said yes if you asked me to marry you for months now.”
“Really?”
“Really.” He leaned in to kiss you again, this time with slightly more passion, and you broke apart first. “As much as I’d love to see where this is going, I’ve just been up all night chasing criminals and I’m going to fall asleep any second now,” you said.
Howard pouted slightly, but eventually nodded. “How about we have dinner tonight then?” he asked. “Make up for last night?”
A smile spread across your face as you leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. “That sounds like a wonderful idea.”
Too lazy to head back to your own apartment, you decided to shower here, and you climbed into one Howard’s bed (you didn’t even need to ask at this point) and drifted off to sleep, your dreams filled with happiness and hope for your future.
- the end -
