I have returned and I love ghost I love ghost I'm going insane rn. I went kinda crazy with this one and it's not really what the ask wanted but uhh yeah. I'm not gonna deny inspiration when it comes
You're new-to them at least, not new to this dynamic. Your entire career in the military has been spent around men. Men who avoid your gaze, men who pretend like you don't exist, or even worse, are obsessed with you. Men who follow you around and dote on you and act like you're made of glass. You've dealt with your fair share of big, intimidating men who pretend to be small, to be kind and like they're looking out for you.
Hell, even Soap shrinks down when he talks to you. Gets to your eye level as if it's not fucking insulting to be treated like that. You deserved to be here just as much as them, maybe even more so with how hard you've had to work.
That's why Ghost is such a breath of fresh air. He doesn't dote, he doesn't take it easy on you. He expects you to keep up with them, and you do.
It's created this awful need in you to please him, to prove to him that you are what he thinks you are. As much as you try to hide it, you search for his eyes, his approval, when you're training.
And he is always there, always watching you. He looks like an apex predator, head leaned back against the wall, arms crossed so that his biceps squeeze against the sleeves of his shirt. His face doesn't move ever, but his eyes look down through thick blonde lashes, following your every movement as you spar, as you stretch out after a particularly hard session with Soap.
Soap makes snide little comments, asking if he was too rough, if he pushed you too far. It's all in good fun but your blood absolutely boils. You bite your tongue and turn away, stretching your arms above your head and counting to ten, feeling the tension in your muscles release.
Soap finally fucks off, slapping Ghost on the shoulder as he leaves.
"Warmed her up for you, Lt."
Ghost exhales, barely noticeable. Irritated.
You're still on the mat, rolling your ankles and pretending like you're not really fucking sore. You can feel him watching and turn away, squatting down to stretch your hamstrings.
Silently, a shadow falls over you and you startle slightly. How is someone so big, so quiet.
"You could have done better." It's short and gruff, a fact.
You lean your head back, squinting up at him. God he's big. Sitting on the floor barely brings you to his knees.
"Just wanted it to be over I guess." You shrug it off and roll your neck side to side, wincing at the tightness in your shoulders.
His chest rises with a deep inhale, shadow growing as he moves even closer. "If he gets under your skin so much, why not show him?"
"I'm afraid I'd do permanent damage."
Ghost huffs out a laugh and your heart swells, your head cheers, 'You made him laugh, good job!'
It's so stupid, you're embarrassed at your own thoughts.
"Take it out on me then."
That stops your little self aware moment and your eyes jump to his. He's still standing over you, already watching your face, waiting for a falter in your expression.
"I can handle a lot more than him. Show me how mad he makes you." It's a challenge, a little teasing.
You swallow hard. You haven't had the chance to spar with Ghost yet. He's much too big, you know you wouldn't recover easily. And your little crush makes it impossible to be that close to him. But what were you going to do, say no? Worst case is he beats your ass and you can use the ensuing embarrassment to get over him.
You nod and stand up, shaking out the anxiety in your limbs.
"Just don't kill me please, I've still got a lot of life to live." You try to lighten the mood, taking your place at the other side of the mat.
He looks like he's thinking about it, the wrinkles around his eyes a little tighter. A smile maybe?
When you start, you circle with him, trying in vain to determine where he's going with his. With the mask you can't see anything and his eyes never move from yours, no intention of giving anything away. You decide that he won't make the first move, so you do, using your size difference to get under his arm and behind him. You've no doubt that he let you do that.
You exchange shoves, he let's you get in a few punches, but it's mostly a dance. He never makes the first move, he waits for you to come to him every time.
You're wearing yourself out now, and he's not showing an ounce of exhaustion. You're ready to give up, tired and even more frustrated than before you started.
One last fuck it move and you wrap yourself around his side, kicking his knee out from under him. He falls, and for a brief moment you're reveling in your success, but it's cut short when he snatches your arm as he goes, rolling on to his back and pulling you with him.
Ghost has you flat against him, back to his chest, one arm wrapped around your middle and the other threatening your throat.
There's no getting out of this is there?
You dig your fingers in to his forearm and feel him tighten, like a boa. Fuck. You inhale and frantically decide to at least try to struggle, pretend like you didn't give up 20 minutes ago.
You wriggle back and forth, kicking your legs, trying to loosen his grip even slightly. He's way too heavy for you to try to turn him over and his arm pushes your chin up even higher, you can feel his breath on your cheek through the mask, it's heavy and quick.
Is he really winded or is he simply pretending to help your ego.
Swallowing as best you can, you pause and lower your legs between his, feeling his heart pound against your back. Maybe now would be the time to tap out but it doesn't cross your mind. You're overwhelmed with the sensation of his arm squeezing your chest, right under the band of your sports bra, the way he slides the other across your throat until just his fingers touch you, hand covering your entire neck.
You're light-headed, your ears are only filled with the sound of two heartbeats, pounding together in a quick rhythm.
Fuck.
Ghosts knees frame your legs, trying so desperately not to fall completely against him, scared that if you do you'll feel something you're not supposed to. Something you really want to.
His arms relax abruptly and you suck in a breath you didn't know you were holding. He releases you, not subtle in the way his fingers run across your skin.
You roll away and gather yourself on your knees next to him, you're on fire, all you can think about is his hands, his breath, his arms squeezing you to him.
This didn't decompress you like he had wanted. It actually did the opposite. You're so worked up now, head swimming, you don't even stand when he does.
Ghost offers you a hand and you take it, hot and calloused. When he stands you up on shaky legs you stumble, just a little, and he catches you against his side.
"You'll continue to train with me for now. Go clean up. " His voice has something unrecognizable in it, a gruffness to his command.
You don't argue and let him go, making your way out and to the shower in your room.

Apex Predator (IV)
Pairing: Thena x Ikaris WC: 2.1k words Warnings: Smut. Power play. Praising kink. Lots of teasing. “Thena be good”, but make it sexual. Virginity loss.
If you like my work, consider buying me a coffee or subscribing to my Patreon. It’s just $2 a month and helps a lot while I go through these hard times.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Ikaris watched as Thena weaved through her tapestry, long fingers moving with such ability he couldn’t even understand how she did it.
It was her little hobby, sewing with such an ability it hypnotised him. He sometimes forgot she had hobbies outside of fighting, since that seemed to be the only thing on her mind whenever they were around.
Even when Ajak let them have moments of calm, she would be focused on the next deviants to emerge.
So seeing Thena and her long fingers moving, her bright eyes so focused she was barely blinking, never ceased to enchant him.
“It’s beautiful,” Ikaris finally spoke, making his presence known.
It was them in the legends, coming down to help the humans.
She didn’t stop, as if she knew he was there all along.
“I know."
He chuckled, wordless.
Of course she did. Thena knew everything.
He sat by her side, and her fingers didn’t even stop.
“How are you, Thena?” he asked, sweetly.
She wasn’t impressed at all.
Ikaris had his own dynamic with his Omegas. With Sersi, he could simply kiss her without many words, a few looks with Ajak would open her up and Makkari, his sneaky little Omega, was keen to playing games with him. But they had their dynamic.
But Thea… she was immune to his charms.
She gave very little attention to the changes on their family, focusing mainly on the deviants with Gilgamesh. Ikaris wondered if the two were intimate, but if maybe very secretive about it.
Whenever he tried to be around her, her answers were a little dry, and her attention was never fully on him. Nothing like what she was with Gilgamesh.
“Thena...” he started, but she just turned to look at him.
“Say what you want, Ikaris” she commanded, as if bored of his long game of conversation.
He swallowed down.
“Can’t I want to chat?” he tried to be smooth.
“You never only want to chat,” she remarked.
He scoffed.
“Because you always cut me off.”
She moved back to her tapestry.
“You annoy me when you talk,”
Ikaris would’ve taken offence, but he could see the slight smirk on her lips.
She was playing him. Him! The Alpha!
Ikaris reached and grabbed her hand, holding it, and she looked at his face.
“You’re done,” he commanded her.
Thena stared at him for a single second before throwing him across the room and against a wall.
Ikaris grunted, as she stood over him as he regained himself.
"You are going to have to try harder than that to be an alpha, Ikaris," she taunted him, blond hair moving as she tilted her head.
He flushed, embarrassed for a moment.
“I’m no Makkari, you can’t just corner me into mating with you.”
He stood in his full frame.
Fine, if she wanted a challenge, then she would have one.
“Is that what you want?” he circled her. “For me to fight you into submission?”
She walked away from him, careless, moving oh so lightly into the room where Arishem’s statue stood.
“Into submission?” she repeated, looking over her shoulder. “No.”
Ikaris followed her, and stopped at seeing her in full armour, leaning against a wall.
“I just want to have fun,” she moved away, dragging her body, exposing her neck on her way to him.
Ikaris clicked his tongue, shaking his head.
“Thena…” he sighed. “Why not be a good girl and just play nice?”
Her spear appeared through her fingers, and he stood still as she walked in his direction.
“Oh?” she asked, and the tip of her blade was right against her neck. “I’m a good girl now?”
Ikaris hummed.
“You can be,” he hummed.
Thena’s lips curled.
“And who says I want to be a good girl?”
She raised her spear to fight him, and Ikaris grabbed her blade before it could meet his skin.
He followed her lead, throwing punches and using his power to take distance and throw a punch that was quickly caught by her shields.
Thena threw him onto the floor, and had a taunting smile on her lips when Ikaris stood to fight back just as well, each blow of his breaking through her shields until they were gone, and Ikaris raised her up, carrying her against the wall and pressing her against it, holding her wrists up with a single hand.
“So you want to be bad?” he asked, close enough that her breath was tickling his skin.
She smirked, a long blond strand falling across her face.
"Maybe,” she purred. “Or do you want to be good?"
Thena raised her legs and kicked him away, making him fall to the floor and falling right on top of him, caging him in her arms.
He was shocked by her question, but quivered when Thena’s hand moved to his cheek, caressing it.
“Such a good boy,” she purred. “Trying to be a good Alpha for his Omegas.”
He panted as her touch made his skin burn.
“I…” he tried to speak but she shushes him, placing a finger over his lips.
Her armour disappeared, and Ikaris inhaled sharply at seeing her bare.
For Arishem, she was so beautiful.
“Do you want me, Alpha?” Thena cooed." she cooed. "Want to “Want to ffill me up?”
Ikaris shuddered.
"Please," he exhaled.
Thena chuckled.
"Needy Alpha," she straddled his lap. "Begging for cunt."
Ikaris let his armour dissolve away and she licked her plushy lips.
"I can see why they all want you," he hummed, moving her hand to touch his chest, fingers tracing each of his muscles and marks. "You are so perfect, Ikaris."
His cheeks heated up in a flush.
"Do they tell you that?" she scratched his skin. "Does submissive little Sersi moans about how pretty our Alpha is when you are fucking her?"
Ikaris panted, eyes tracing her body. Her breasts were larger than the other Omega's round and plump against her strong torso. Oh, how he craved to be buried in them.
"Does Ajak hum into your ear about how handsome you are when she begs you to knot her?" she moved her fingers down to his hips, teasing him near his crotch.
"Thena," he exhaled.
Her sweet fingers wrapped around his dick.
"Or does Makkari move her fingers," she raised her free hand to her face.
She rested her thumb on her chin, closing her fingers around it and then opening it in a little explosion.
'Beautiful,' her fingers said. 'Beautiful boy.'
Ikaris couldn't help but moan as she stroked his cock to life.
"Maybe that is what you want," she purred, tilting her head, watching him. "Being such a strong powerful Alpha... why don't you let me take the reins now, uh?"
He gulped and nodded, panting, eager.
"Ask politely," she jerked him, thumb circling his head and circling it, and he moaned, closing his eyes. "Be a good boy."
Ikaris wanted to fight for dominance, flip her over and knot her, but he couldn't. The way Thena spoke was so sweet and warm. It made him feel good inside. It made him feel important.
"Please, Thena," he moaned. "Fuck me. Be my Omega. Please."
She smiled, and crawled down his body, kissing her way down his chest, then his belly, and wrapped her lips around his cock.
She sucked shallowly, and oh Arishem, he wanted to grab her blond locks and push her down to take it all, but he didn't. Instead, he kept his hands where they were, like a good boy.
"Thena," he shuddered.
Fuck, he sounded so needy.
"Oh, my good boy," she purred, using her saliva to stroke him. "How can I say no to you?
Thena climbed up again and day on his hips, hands resting on his torso, and she raised herself up.
Her eyes fell on his, bright and unsure and Ikaris took in a deep breath.
"Please, Omega," he exhaled. "Be mine?"
Thena's face softened and she raised his chin with a single hand.
"How can I say no to this face?" she hummed.
She sunk on his cock slowly, sliding down and moaning softly.
Ikaris closed his eyes, moaning as her cunt took him, warm and soaked wet.
"Did fighting me get you horny, Omega?" he asked. "Sparring with your Alpha? Trying to beat me up?"
Thena slid down his cock at a snail's pace, face surprised and looking nearly suspended as if she wasn't sure of how it would feel until now.
And she was so fucking tight.
Maybe he was her first?!
The humans had their legends about her. Athena, the goddess of war and the wise. The virgin warrior.
Still. He couldn't ask. Instead, as she set on him and looked like she was trying to get adjusted, he cradled her hips.
"Let me help you," he offered, holding her.
Thena nodded, taking his help without many words, and moaned when Ikaris raised her up, slowly making her bounce on his cock.
"Fuck," she whined. "You're big."
Her cunt fluttered around his cock and Ikaris reached between her legs, playing with her clit.
"Oh, Arishem," she gasped.
He smirked.
"Do you like it, Omega?" he hummed. "My thick cock filling you up?"
Thena moaned, frowning a little angrily.
"Don't get co- OH!" she moaned when he rolled her clit a little tighter.
She trembled, shivering, and he realised she was cumming the moment her cunt squeezed him tightly, milking his cock with her spasms.
"Cumming for me, Thena?" he made her bounce. "Fuck, those tits are perfect!"
They were bouncing so beautifully. Arishem had made her so fucking sexy.
"Ikaris," she cried, spasming over him.
He sat up, giving up on saving face, and buried his face in her chest, sucking in her tits and making her moan, all sensitive.
"Good alpha," she cried as he wrapped his lips around her pretty nipple. "Oh, Arishem, I need..."
Oh, she was fluttering again.
"You need to cum again?" he hummed to her. "Around your Alpha's cock?"
She moaned, his greedy girl.
"Cum for me, pretty Omega," he moaned, sucking her breast.  "Cum for your Alpha."
Fuck, how many times could he make her cum?
So he sucked more on her tits and played with her clit more, and fucked her faster.
Her voice grew so loud as she cried, overwhelmed with stimulation.
"Wait," she panted. "Ikaris!"
"Again," he growled. "Go on, cum again."
She slapped his shoulder, falling with his head into the crook of his neck, whining like a needy little thing.
"I thought you could take any challenge, oh great Athena," he taunted her.
Thena always hated it that the mortals mispronounced her name and thst was how it was recorded for the rest of their history.
She grunted, trying to pin him down, and Ikaris chuckled at her attempt.
"My blushing virgin Omega," he taunted her. "Wanna ride your Alpha good, uh? Hold me down and bounce that hot body over me?"
She huffed.
"I am a warrior!" she argued with him and Ikaris jsut smirked, biting her nipple. "Not just... FUCK!"
She came again, finally allowing herself to rest her face against his neck, and Ikaris used that moment to hold her hips while he fucked her up.
Thena cried into his ear as he let himself use her.
"Perfect strong Omega," he moaned into her ear. "Our warrior."
He wanted to sink his teeth into her neck and mark her as his, but he knew it wasn't going to make any difference. Being his had to be something she felt in herself, not a mark on her body.
"Alpha," she cried, voice trembling with the bounces.
"Say it," he growled, feeling himself about to fucking pop. "Say you're mine."
Thena cried.
"Ikaris," she clawed onto his back with her nails.
"I'll only knot you when you do," he grunted between his teeth. "I only knot my Omegas."
She whined.
"Please," she whimpered. "Please, I want your knot."
Ikaris sucked into his neck.
"Then say it, my warrior Omega," he moaned into her skin.
She cried out.
"I'm yours!"
Ikaris sucked her mating gland, and moaned when Thena came around him, letting his knot fill her sweet cunt up, and pulling her lips to his, kissing her deeply as they both panted, shaking and riding their pleasure.
She rested her head in the crook of his neck as they took a moment to catch their breath, and Ikaris kissed her showing skin.
"You're such a good Omega," he praised her softly.
Thena chuckled a little.
"You're telling me I'm good?" she teased him.
He gave her ass a little slap.
"Thena," he taunted her. "Be good."
His Omega giggled.
"I don't think so," she nuzzled into his neck. "You, Ikaris, be good. My big, good Alpha."
He whimpered a little, shuddering when she traced a finger up his back.
"Alright," he kissed her shoulder, cuddling together.
He'd let her win this round. Just this time.

A Christmas Crush
Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Fem-Reader
Words: 6693 (yikes)
Summary: Bucky has been infatuated with you for months. Will the Christmas Spirit finally help him make his move?
Warnings: Explicit language, explicit sexual content (just all of it), fluff(I don’t know y’all, I have trouble qualifying this one), slightly dom partner, overprotective partner, SMUT (like over 3700 words of it y’all!), 18+
A/N: Sooo, this was supposed to be like 2500 words guys but I got a bit carried away. Made it in right under the wire for day 3 of my birthday week. This is also an entry for the Merry Hoemas challenge that is being hosted by @amythedvdhoarder​ @chrissquares​ @drabblewithfrannybarnes​ @pumpkin-and-pine​ and @starlightcrystalline​. I chose the dialogue prompt “I’m not going to fall in love with you. I promise.” (from The Holiday). Please enjoy!!
Tumblr media
“You better be wearing something nice, Barnes! No cargo pants!” you yelled out to the living area as you finished applying your makeup in the bathroom.
“Yes, boss!” He yelled back at you as he adjusted himself in the dress pants he borrowed from Sam. They weren’t uncomfortable, just tighter than he was used to.
“Dude, leave your crotch alone!” Wilson chuckled at him.
Bucky scowled at him and did his best to focus on anything else. “I can’t believe I let the two of you talk me into this.”
“You know how the boss-lady is, once she gets an idea in her head, there’s no stopping her.” Sam gave him a grin as he lounged on the sofa, sipping a glass of scotch. “Would you relax? We’re going to a club, you literally fought of a group of five assassins on your own last week. This is nothing!”
“I’m used to fighting, I haven’t been dancing since….”
“Oh god, have you not gone out since World War II!” Sam threw back his head and gave a laugh from deep in his chest. “Hoo, boy this should be entertaining!”
The three of you had been on a surveillance assignment for the past three months, and a replacement team had finally arrived to take over for you. Your flight back to the states wasn’t until tomorrow, and you had insisted that all of you find something to do to get over the stir craziness that had taken over. When you found a flyer for a hip hop Christmas party at one of the fancier downtown clubs, you ran back to the suite and insisted that you all head out. Sam was of course down immediately, but it took you a while to convince Bucky it would be a good time.
It was hard for him to not feel like the third wheel sometimes with the two of you. You and Sam loved your hip hop, and Bucky still remembered the first time he walked into one of your sparring sessions while Wu Tang was playing and had to immediately turn around and leave, ears turning red as you and Sam shouted mirth-filled apologies after him. He was slowly warming up to the aggressive music style, but still occasionally pined for the days of the Andrews Sisters and Bing Crosby.
He squirmed in the dress pants again; when did they start making suits so tight? He rolled the sleeves of his deep green shirt up over his forearms, trying to get more comfortable as the lights glinted off his metal hand, when you finally came out of the bathroom.
“You two boys ready to go?”
Fuck me, he thought.
You were wearing a bright red dress that was covered in sequins. It was in a wrap style that was wide open across your chest, exposing the valley between your breasts almost down to your navel. A thin gold chain with a dark green stone dangled around your neck and nestled in your cleavage, drawing the eye as is twinkled in the dying light through the windows. The skirt portion of the dress was short enough that it was almost obscene, and the apex of the wrap was almost up to your hip. You topped off the look with a pair of thigh high black velvet boots.
“Damn, mama, you look good!” Sam whistled at you as he stood up and spun you around with one hand.
“You’re not too bad yourself Wilson. Barnes, you clean up real nice!”
He couldn’t speak. He was suddenly extremely aware of just how tight his slacks were, and he strode over to grab all your coats from the rack and hold his in front of his crotch as he handed Sam the other two, hoping it wasn’t obvious what he was trying to hide as he slipped it over his shoulders.
“Ok, then, let’s head out!” You said, giving Sam a look as he helped you slide into your wool coat. He just shrugged at you before donning his, and the three of you got on your way.
Sam and you walked arm in arm on the way to the club, chatting idly and laughing at the occasional quip. You tried to engage Bucky in the conversation, but he just marched behind you scowling, collar pulled up against the chill in the air.
He couldn’t deny he had developed a bit of a crush on you over the course of your assignment. You always tried to keep morale up in the surveillance house, brightening the air with your laughter as you baked some sort of treat for everyone, or broke out an obscene amount of liquor when two of you had a shared shift off. He still remembered the time you had indulged in the gin just a little too much during a game of poker and passed out with your head in his lap. He hadn’t slept or moved from that position the entire night until he had to relieve Sam in the morning, reluctantly removing your face from where it had nestled during your rest.
He did his best to move past his crush, trying to convince himself it was just an infatuation that needed to wear itself out.
Then he saw you fight for the first time.
Sure, he had seen you sparring with Sam, and may have even done a session with you himself he hadn’t been concerned about how his body would react in such close proximity to you. But when that group of thugs attacked the house last week, he really saw you in action.
You moved like water. Dodging every blow that was thrown at you and landing flurries of strikes of your own that seemed like they shouldn’t have caused any damage but would reduce your opponents to puddles. Bucky almost got knocked out when you had pulled out your knives to spin them through your expert fingers like they were extensions of your will. He’d had to lock himself in the bathroom after the fight to jerk himself off, imagining it was your hands wrapped around him.
Now he watched your ass swaying back and forth in front of him as you arrived at the club, wearing those boots and that dress that made you look like walking sex. His mood soured as he handed his coat to the check girl and shoved his call ticket into his pocket, so he headed to the bar to get himself a drink.
He felt a light touch on his shoulder and gave a wince as he turned to face you.
“C’mon, Barnes, it’s Christmas!” You were giving him a heartachingly beautiful smile. “Wipe that frown off your face and come dance!”
He softened as you looked into his eyes. It wasn’t your fault he felt like a pervert everytime he stood next to you.
“I think I’m going to go grab us a table for our drinks, you go have fun with Sam. Maybe I’ll join you in a bit.”
“If you’re sure?” You cocked an eyebrow at him and bit your lip, and he felt his gut clench and his cock twitch at that look.
“I’m sure. Enjoy yourself.”
You gave his arm a squeeze before ordering yourself a shot of vodka that you immediately tossed back before heading to join Sam on the dance floor.
Bucky took his double scotch to one of the tables scattered around the floor and perched himself on a tall stool. His gaze scanned the dance floor before finding you and he let out a groan.
If he thought your fighting was beautiful, it was nothing compared to your dancing. You looked ethereal and free as you tossed your hair, rolling your hips as your arms raised above your head and followed the motion in your torso before they sank back down and rolled along your sides, highlighting the curves of your body. Sam suddenly grabbed you by the waist and spun you, causing you to throw your head back with a beautiful lilting laugh.
Bucky tossed back his scotch and flagged down a waitress, handing her his card and instructing her to keep the drinks coming. Maybe if he drank enough it would relieve the unbelievable ache he was feeling in his chest.
You and Sam joined him at the table after a few songs. You were breathless and flushed and all he wanted to do was kiss you then take you to an alley out back and fuck you stupid.
“Barnes, you are being a bit of a Scrooge here.” You grinned at him as you nibbled on a pretzel. Sam had headed to the bathroom, and you flagged down a waitress and ordered yourself a vodka cranberry before turning back to him. “I’ll order you to have fun if I need to.”
He grinned in spite of himself when you gave him a wink. “Sorry, Y/L/N, this isn’t really my type of party.”
“Aww, Bucky,” he took in a sharp breath, you’d never used his first name before. “You just need to loosen up. I can lend you a hand with that if you need it.” You reached a hand over and wrapped it around his wrist, giving it a light squeeze.
He almost said something then, but the waitress arrived back at the table at that moment with your drink and you turned to give her a smile and thanks. Sam arrived back from the bathroom then with a bourbon in his hand, accompanied by a beautiful woman with a bright smile.
“Bucky, Y/N, this is Marta, she’s a model!”
“Well hi there Marta, you going to steal my dance partner?” You were giving the girl a massive grin as you teased Sam.
“Yeah, Marta doesn’t really speak English.” Sam grinned.
“Oh, sorry.” You asked her the same question in Swedish.
Marta’s smile grew even bigger as the two of you started babbling away at each other while Bucky and Sam just shook their heads. Marta grabbed your hand suddenly and started to drag you away from the table.
“Be right back boys!” You said over your shoulder as you and your new friend headed off to the bathroom. Bucky watched you walk away and gave a deep sigh.
“Jesus Christ, man, you need to make your move already!” Sam said, exasperated.
Bucky almost choked on his scotch. “Dunno what you’re talking about.” He mumbled, wiping his chin with a napkin.
“Bruh, you’ve been staring at Y/N non-stop this whole night. Not to mention the fact that you were moping around the surveillance house for the past few months like a kicked puppy.” Sam shook his head as he tossed back the rest of his drink. “Oh, and if you thought you were sneaky about your little post-fight bathroom session last week, you are very mistaken.”
Bucky snapped his jaw shut and felt a flush creeping up his neck as he imagined your reaction to the discovery he had been touching himself to thoughts of your body underneath him.
Sam waved a hand at him. “Don’t worry, Y/N didn’t notice. I sprayed the fuck out of that bathroom with Febreze after you left. I am never doing anything like that for you again, though.”
Bucky’s heart rate went back down in relief. “We work together Sam. Even if that wasn’t the case, what am I supposed to say to her?”
“Geez, man, just fucking kiss her!”
“Fuck, Sam, we haven’t even been on a date! Don’t women usually want that sort of preamble?”
“Some women, sure. But don’t treat them like a monolith. Y/N appreciates directness and the worst thing that could possibly happen is she tells you to back off.”
“She could stab me.”
Sam guffawed. “Don’t look so turned on at the thought, dude. She’s noticed how weird you’ve been acting. She thinks you don’t like her. One of the main reasons she made us all go out tonight was to hopefully get you to warm up some.”
Bucky sighed, he hadn’t meant to push you away. “I dunno, Sam. She’s super fucking intimidating.”
“Get over it, Barnes. If you don’t make a move, someone else definitely will.”
“Oh my god, Sam, get your ass out here! It’s Christmas in Hollis!” You and Marta were back on the dance floor now and you were bouncing up and down, waving your hand excitedly at Sam.
“Aw, shit, that’s my jam!” Sam was backing onto the floor now, trying to get Bucky to follow him before giving up and turning to you and his date.
An unsteady woman sank into the seat Sam had just vacated and gave Bucky a lecherous grin before she started talking to him in slurred Swedish.
“Sorry, I can’t understand you.” He shouted at her.
“Oh, American man.” The woman purred at him in what he assumed was supposed to be a sexy voice. “You, me, fuck in bathroom.”
Bucky didn’t hear her. A giant blonde man who looked like a knockoff Thor was dancing behind you now, trying to put his hands on your hips and grind his crotch into your ass.
Bucky watched you turn and place a hand on the intruder’s chest, giving him a polite smile as you stopped your dancing, saying something to him that Bucky couldn’t make out over the music.
The guy didn’t take the hint and put his hands on your waist, pulling you flush against his front and putting a thigh between your legs, edging the hem of your skirt upwards.
Bucky didn’t realize he had been gripping the back of one of the chairs with his metal hand until he heard a crunch and looked down to see he had bent the frame when he clenched his fist.
“Knulla.” The suddenly sober woman said, standing up abruptly and scurrying away from the table.
Bucky found himself striding towards the dance floor, fists clenching and a low growl emanating from his chest.
That dirty fucker was still trying to hump you as you gave him a firm shove, trying to turn back to Sam and Marta. He wrapped a hand around your upper arm and jerked you back. Sam stopped dancing and tried to step in, but the son of a bitch slapped him in the face before turning back to you and smashing his mouth into yours, shoving his free hand up the front of your skirt to try to get at your pussy.
Bucky arrived just as you pulled back from the cocksucker and drew the offensive hand back so sharply, a snap resounded across the floor and he let out a scream.
Bucky punched him in the face before grabbing him by his collar and tossing him away from you as three security guards came rushing to the scene, too late to offer any sort of assistance. Marta managed to intercept them and started screaming at them in Swedish as you and Sam moved between Bucky and the giant Swede who was now a blubbering mess on the floor.
“It’s good Barnes, you can relax.” Sam said.
“Bucky, it’s ok. He isn’t worth it.” You were as close to Bucky as you had ever been. He could feel the heat radiating off you as you put a hand on his chest.
You had never seen Bucky so angry. His jaw was clenched so tight, you were worried the tendons in his neck were going to snap. He was breathing deeply through his nose, nostrils flaring as he glared murderously at the man who had touched you.
“Baby, you can let it go. I’m ok.” You murmured low enough that only he could hear you.
He looked into your eyes and relaxed, taking a deep breath through his mouth and nodding as the security guards dragged your assailant out of the club.
“Good boy, now you owe me a dance.”
Bucky’s look instantly changed to confusion as you dragged him onto the dance floor, giving him a breathless laugh as you started dancing again.
He had no idea what to do with himself. You saw his look of utter helplessness and turned to face him. You placed his hands on your hips and your hands around his neck and looked into his eyes. You’re hips started rolling to the rhythm as the rest of your body swayed in time with the music. Bucky was too aware of his feet and broke eye contact to stare at them, trying to figure out how he was supposed to move.
He felt your hand lift his chin and you shook your head at him before bringing the front of your body flush against his. You lined up your hips to his and started rolling them, your legs on either side of his massive thigh as you gyrated against him. He let out a moan and screwed his eyes closed.
You brought your face against his neck and whispered in his ear. “Just relax honey.”
You dipped your hips slightly and he followed you, nuzzling into your neck and inhaling your scent as his brain finally stopped overanalyzing what he was doing.
You felt the muscles underneath his shirt tightening and releasing as he rolled his body against you and your pussy clenched over his thigh. You gave a soft gasp and hoped the rush of arousal hadn’t soaked through your panties and onto his pants. His hands were pressing into the soft skin of your hips, and you knew you would have light bruises there tomorrow.
You pulled away suddenly and Bucky groaned at the loss of you before you flipped your hair forward and dropped your ass, separating your thighs slightly as you slowly drew your back up Bucky’s front before nestling your ass into the dip in his pelvis that seemed made to fit you.
Bucky growled into your hair and nipped at the soft skin behind your ear before starting to grind himself into your ass. He brought his metal arm to press against your abdomen and push you further into him, while his other wandered up between your breasts, giving one of them a soft squeeze before loosely wrapping his fingers around your throat
You felt him harden against you and let out a small gasp, starting to pull away before his metal arm locked you in place.
“Don’t you fucking move.” He growled in your ear, nipping gently at the lobe with his teeth.
His hips were moving at their own rhythm now, the music forgotten. Neither of you noticed Sam making an exit with Marta, grinning back at you before shrugging his coat over his shoulders and heading out into the snow.
Your breath was hitching softly as Bucky rutted himself against your ass, and the sound was driving him crazy. You could feel your cunt throbbing as it became slick, your arousal soaking your panties and threatening to start leaking down the insides of your thighs. He suddenly stuttered his hips and let out a hiss before stilling.
“Shit.”
He had come in his pants like a teenager, filling his boxer briefs and leaving a small wet spot on the front of his slacks. His arms released you as he stood up straight, leaning his forehead against the back of your head and screwing his eyes shut. He’d never been so embarrassed.
You shuffled the edge of your skirt down before turning around and pressing your lips against his softly. He groaned against your mouth as he brought his hands to either side of your face, tangling them in your hair. You discretely untucked his shirt as you kissed him, covering the evidence of his orgasm graciously. You pulled away before he could really lean into the kiss, and he let out a dissatisfied sigh.
You looked at him through heavy lids, biting at your kiss swollen lips before taking his hand and dragging him to the exit. “We’re going back to the hotel”
You tossed the coat tickets at the girl at the counter, breathing heavily as you tapped your nails impatiently. You snatched the coats from her without a word and tossed Bucky’s to him before charging out the door.
Bucky almost slipped several times back to the hotel as you set a brutal pace. He couldn’t get a read on you now and was worried he’d ruined things already.
You rode the elevator up to your floor in silence, one hip cocked to the side as you clicked the opposite heel against the floor rapidly. As soon as the doors opened, you strode down the hallway like you were possessed and Bucky hurried after you, concern written all over his face.
You arrived at the room first and wrenched the door open, leaving it open behind you as you stepped inside. Bucky was a few steps behind you but stopped at the entrance. He was certain you were going to lay into him as soon as he entered and wanted to take a moment to collect himself. He was running his metal fingers through his hair when your arm suddenly shot out, your fingers wrapping around the collar of his shirt and hauling him inside as he let out an uncharacteristic yelp.
You slammed the door behind him and pressed him up against it, shoving your fingers under his collar and wrapping them around his neck before you smashed your mouth to his violently, clashing your teeth against his before shoving your tongue down his throat.
Bucky overcame his surprise quickly and grinned against your lips as he slid his coat off his shoulders before cupping your ass and giving it a squeeze.
Your lips left his suddenly, leaving him breathless. You gave him a small smirk before sinking to your knees and starting to undo his belt.
“You’ve been keeping this pretty cock from me baby. My pussy’s been gushing thinking about your hot length in my mouth.” You were kissing around the bulge in his pants as you slipped his loosened belt out of the loops and undid the buttons. He leaned his head back against the door and hissed through his teeth. He’d never had a woman speak to him like this before and it was making his cock ache. He jutted his hips forward and you rubbed your face against his cloth covered erection before drawing his slacks and boxer briefs down his legs swiftly, freeing his dick to bounce back up against his abs.
You spat in your hand and wrapped it around him, drawing a groan from his chest. You started peppering soft kisses along his shaft as you ran your hand up and down slowly. “God Bucky, you’re so fucking big, I can’t wait to feel this in my pussy. I need to taste your sweet cum first though honey.”
You softly ran one finger up the underside of his shaft, tracing the vein that ran from root to tip before dragging your tongue in a heavy stripe over the same path.
He wrapped your hair around his hand and let out a hiss. “Fuck, Y/N, who taught you to talk like that?”
 “Mmm, you like it sweetie?” You asked him wickedly as you ran your tongue over the sensitive slit along his tip, lapping up the pre-cum that was starting to collect there.
“God, yes.” He couldn’t believe how much the filthy praises you were giving turned him on.
“I’ll give you as much as I can honey, but I’m worried this cock is going to fuck out my throat.” You took him in your mouth then, relaxing your throat as you drew in his entire length, feeling his balls hit your chin as you swallowed around him.
“Shit!” he thought you were going to go slower and he almost came immediately when you hollowed your cheeks around him and pulled him out slightly before taking him in again, bringing a hand up to fondle his balls.
He braced his metal arm against the door as he started to thrust his hips, fucking into your face as you choked around him, tears streaming down your cheeks and drool leaking from the corners of your mouth.
“God baby, you’re taking my cock so good. That mouth of yours is fucking amazing.” His hips picked up speed and he gazed down at you. You looked sinful, a flush in your cheeks and over your chest as you gazed up at him through thick lashes. You moaned around his cock as his praise caused a fresh rush of arousal to leak from your cunt.
“You gonna take my cum down like a good girl?” His hips were starting to stutter and you felt his cock twitch at the back of your mouth. You let out a tiny whine and tried to nod as he shoved himself all the way in, stilling himself as you felt his release run down your throat.
He pulled his softening cock out of your mouth and wiped the drool from you chin before softly cupping your cheek.
“Stay right there for a second pretty girl.”
“Yes, sir.” You whispered at him, your voice husky now that your throat was raw.
He unbuttoned his shirt and rolled it off over his shoulders, then removed his undershirt and tossed it aside too until he was standing in front of you naked.
You let out a low moan at the sight. His muscles were sculpted beautifully, his chest dusted with dark hair that tapered to a happy trail that led down to his thick cock. The skin around his metal arm was scarred and puckered, and other faint scars were visible elsewhere on his body, giving him an air of danger and menace. Your cunt clenched as you took in the sight, biting your lips as you ached to run your hands over his body.
“Stand up.” He ordered you. He didn’t know what had come over him. He had spent months wanting to beg you for some sign of affection, but now that you were there kneeling in front of him, he just wanted to take it from you. And you were willing to give him whatever he required.
You drew yourself up slowly and he picked you up with one hand and wrapped your legs around his waist. He brought your mouth down to his and teased your lips open with his tongue as he carried you to the bedroom.
He knelt on the bed with you straddling him and started to trail rough kisses down your neck, sucking occasionally to draw a bruise against your skin.
As he reached your shoulders, he wrapped his metal hand through the chain around your neck and gave it a yank, snapping it off you. He drew the shoulders of your dress down, exposing your tits as you arched your back up to meet him.
“God Bucky, please” You whined as nuzzled his face into the valley between your breasts, his stubble scratching the skin there.
“You want something, baby?” he asked you wickedly, kissing slowly up the slope of your breast until he almost reached your nipple, then moved his mouth away again.
You groaned and wound your fingers into his hair. “Need your tongue on me, please baby.”
“Where did you want it sweet girl?” he asked innocently before cupping one breast in his hand and rubbing the nipple with his nose. “Did you want me to lick you here?”
“Yes, yes, fuck!!” His tongue swirled slowly around your nipple, drawing it to a sensitive peak. “God Bucky, that’s so good!”
He brought up his metal hand to palm your other breast and you gasped at the contrast of the cool metal against your warm flesh. He tweaked the other nipple and you groaned. “You want my tongue on this one too, honey?”
“Pleasepleaseplease….” You whispered breathlessly, whining when he moved his mouth where you asked him. You started grinding yourself into his thigh, desperate for release as your pussy quivered and wept.
“No.” He ordered, grabbing your hip with his metal hand and holding you still. “You don’t get to come unless it’s on my cock sweetheart.”
You let out a thin keen as tears leaked down your cheeks.
Bucky brought his face back up to yours, holding your chin with his other hand and kissing you hungrily. You cried into his mouth in desperation.
“You want this cock, pretty girl?”
“God, yes. Please, Bucky!”
“You asked me so nicely, honey. I’m gonna give you what you want.”
He gripped your dress in his metal hand where it had gathered at your waist, gave it a twist, and ripped it off you, sequins and beads flying off the bed and across the floor. He grabbed your panties next and shredded them, bringing their ruins up to his face and inhaling your scent deeply before tossing them aside and giving you a wicked grin. You bent one leg up to start to remove your boots when he slapped your hand away.
“Leave those on.” He growled at you.
He took a moment to pause and look at you, memorizing every slope and curve of your body. He spread your legs wide and gave a low moan when he got a look at your pussy, coated in slick and swollen with desire. He drew two metal fingers softly up the inside of your thigh before running them over your sex, coating them in your arousal and making you moan. He brought his fingers up to his mouth and sucked them clean.
“You taste so good baby girl. Maybe once I’ve fucked you stupid with my cock I’ll eat you out.”
“Unnhh, Bucky, give it to me.” You begged him.
“You need something baby? You gotta be specific.”
“God, need you inside me. I fucking need your cock. Bucky, please.”
“Alright sweetheart. You better have at least five orgasms on my cock sweet girl. Otherwise I might have to spank you.”
He lifted your right leg and looped your knee over his elbow, opening you wide as he brought himself up to your entrance. He slowly drew his length through the slick gathered there as you whimpered, then he slammed into you, bottoming out right away and knocking the air out of you.
“FUCK!!!” you screamed as you came immediately, clenching and fluttering around him as you went rigid and started to tremble.
“That’s one, baby.” He grinned as he started to fuck into you, not bothering to wait for you to come down from your orgasm. “Shit, this pussy was fucking ready for me. Look at you gripping me so good, like you’re fucking made for my cock.”
“God, Bucky!” you whined. “You’re so big, keep moving baby. Fuck that’s so good!”
Lewd squelching noises filled the room, combining with the slap of flesh against flesh as he drove into you hard.
“Mmm, you’re squeezing me so tight, honey. You gonna come on my cock again?” Bucky slipped a hand underneath your ass and tilted your hips just a bit and felt you clench around him.
“Shit, right there. God, I’m coming again. Don’t fucking stop.” Your face screwed up as your second orgasm ripped through you, curling your toes in your boots as your legs quivered with the strain.
“Good girl.” He praised you as you fluttered around him, your release soaking your thighs as it seeped out around his cock. “I’m gonna move you now, sweetheart, get ready.”
His hand moved under your waist and he wrenched you up until you were flush against his chest. The coarse hair there scratched against your sensitive nipples and you gave a soft whine at the change in position.
Bucky stared into your eyes. Your face was a mess. Lipstick smeared all over your mouth and chin. Mascara and tears running in streaks down your flushed cheeks. Mouth open and panting with need and pupils blown wide as you gazed at him through your thick eyelashes.
You looked like the perfect mixture of sin and sex. He had never seen anything so beautiful.
He wrapped both his arms behind your shoulders and buried his hands in your hair, pressing your face to his and forcing his tongue between your lips and teeth, running it everywhere it could reach inside your velvety mouth, growling into you.
You wrapped your arms around his neck and opened yourself up to him, whining as he increased his pace even more and you felt the tension gather in your core again.
“Give me another one, baby. My good girl. Show me how good that pussy is for me.”
You buried your face in his neck and groaned as you felt every muscle below your waist go rigid and another orgasm wracked you. You didn’t know if you could handle two more.
“God, sweetheart, you feel so fucking good. This pussy is making a mess everywhere.”
He pulled out of you suddenly and you gasped, hoping for a reprieve. But he just flipped you so you were on all fours and slammed back into you, making you scream.
“Just two more pretty girl. Then I’ll fill this pretty cunt with my cum.”
You didn’t know how he could last this long as he pounded into you relentlessly. He drew you up straight suddenly so your back was against his chest and you gave a small whimper. Your throat was raw from him fucking it and from your screaming, and the only sound you managed to make now was a stream of unintelligible mewls.
You leaned your head back against Bucky’s shoulder as he brought a hand up to palm at your breast. His metal fingers moved to the apex of your thighs and started drawing rough circles against your clit. You felt tears leaking down your cheeks as your pleasure began to gather. He drove them into you suddenly and you let out a thin wail as your entire body went stiff before vibrating with your release.
Bucky guided your fall forward gently until your face was resting against the blankets. Your arms couldn’t hold you up anymore so they laid limply next to your face as Bucky gripped both of your hips and drew them back to him over and over. You felt drool leaking from your open mouth as you blinked slowly. You were absolutely cock drunk. The sheer number and intensity of your orgasms had made your brain short circuit. He really had fucked you stupid.
Bucky slapped your ass suddenly and you gave a sharp gasp as you came one last time, fisting your hands into the blankets to try to keep from passing out.
“Good girl.” Bucky murmured at you. You could feel the smile in his voice and you felt your cunt clench around him at the praise. His hips started to stutter and you felt his cock twitching inside you.
“You ready for me sweetheart? This pussy treated me so good, I’m gonna fill you up.”
You managed to moan out a single word through your hoarse throat. “Please…”
The wantonness in your voice pushed him over the edge and you felt his hips still suddenly as he released inside of you. The feel of his hot cum coating your velvety walls made you moan like a whore.
“Fuck, baby. That was so good.” He gently lowered himself on top of you and you felt him soften inside of you. He peppered gentle kisses along your shoulders and the back of your neck as he pulled out of you slowly. You gave a contented sigh as he rolled off you and headed to the bathroom. You’d never been fucked so well in your life.
You heard the water running and you managed to lift your head to watch Bucky return, holding a damp washcloth. His abdomen, thighs, and cock were coated in your release, glistening in the soft light of the bedroom as he walked back towards you and sat down on the edge of the bed. The sight of his naked form filled you with a renewed sense of desire.
Bucky rotated you carefully until you were lying on your back and brought his face down to yours and gave you a soft kiss before moving himself between your legs. You heard him suck in his breath sharply when he got a good look at you, drawing your knees apart to get a good look at your pussy.
“Fuck honey, you’re beautiful.”
The skin of your mound and thighs was flushed red where he had thrusted into you repeatedly and it was all coated in the evidence of your multiple orgasms. Your cunt was swollen and pulsing as his cum slowly leaked out of you, collecting in a small puddle on the sheets.
Bucky gently cleaned your thighs and mound with the cloth, being careful to not irritate your already sensitive skin. Then he worked your folds apart with his metal fingers and drew the damp fabric over your slit slowly, collecting his release from your entrance. You gave a groan and pressed yourself into the cloth when he tried to pull it away.
“Jesus, sweetheart, already?”
You propped yourself up on your elbows and stared at him. “Bucky, you promised.”
He shook his head and tutted his tongue at you. “No, I said I might eat you out after I fucked you stupid. No promises were made.”
“Bucky, please?” You begged him, your voice husky with lust.
He gave you a look then moved to kneel between your legs. “Can’t say no to you, pretty girl. Not after this pussy treated me so good.”
You gave a soft chuckle followed by a gasp as he flattened himself on the bed and drew your left leg over his shoulder, softly kissing and sucking down the inside of your thigh before he nuzzled himself into your folds.
He softly licked at your entrance, lapping up the renewed evidence of your arousal as he dragged his tongue up and down your slit before he wrapped his lips around your tiny bud and sucked softly.
“God, Bucky! More…please…” You moaned at him, winding your fingers into his hair and pressing him further into you.
He gently teased two metal finger around your entrance before inserting them slowly, grinning against you as he felt your pussy flutter around them.
He started fucking them into you steadily while he gently sucked at your clit, crooking his wrist to hit your sweet spot as he picked up speed.
“Fuck! Right there! Don’t you dare stop! So, so, good! Please baby!” You started babbling, the pitch of your voice getting higher as he edged you closer to your release.
He latched on and sucked hard at the same time he added a third finger, and you came apart around him, soaking his chin and stubble as your thighs tried to crush his head between them and your pussy clenched and twitched around his fingers.
Bucky crawled back up the bed and laid next to you, drawing you to his chest as he wrapped his arms around you. You nuzzled your face into him and let out a low humming noise to show how content you were.
“God, it took you long enough, Barnes.”
He laughed and kissed the top of your head, pulling the blankets over the two of you and flicking off the bedside lamp.
“You know, you could have made a move yourself.” He murmured against your hair.
“And offend your World War II sensibilities, grandpa? You would have run away screaming.”
“Grandpa?”
“Whatever, you were scared of me. I didn’t want to frighten you off before you took advantage of your crush.”
“Right, crush.”
“Mmm, if this is how you fuck on the first date, what are you going to do when you fall in love with me?” You teased against his chest, your breathing growing deeper as you drifted off to sleep.
“Don’t worry sweetheart. I’m not going to fall in love with you. I promise.” He lied as he dozed off.
The snow was falling heavy over the city. And Bucky was dreaming about marrying you.

Spencer Reid x Female Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Spencer goes up against a professional poker player.
A/N: This is almost a purely self indulgent fic, once I had this idea I really really wanted to write it for myself. I wrote all of this today while sick so I’m proud of myself lmao. Also ‘the woman’ Is definitely inspired by Irene Adler. Thanks for letting me have the third person today @zhuzhubii (inside joke thanks to)and thanks to @imagining-in-the-margins who helped me figure out where the story was gonna go. Last day of my 500 follower celebration!! I did 7 fics in 7 days!! Thanks y’all so much for supporting me!!
Warnings: Smut, Fighting for dominance, Hand job, Spitting, Fingering, Choking - uhh should be it.
Masterlist Word count: 2.3k
The casino lights were bright as she walked in through the main entrance of the casino that was dripping in finery. She was a vision in red, dressed to the nines in a red dress that left little to the imagination. She was here to blow off some steam, though not in the way people would assume. The woman in red was a professional poker player, normally playing high stakes games that were also televised for people’s enjoyment. Usually people would try to escape what they did at work on the weekends, but not her as she rather enjoyed the adrenaline that pumped through her veins just as she was about to win.
A man sat across from her at the table she chose with fluffy brown hair that curled slightly and wearing clothes that didn’t fit with the overall aesthetic of everyone else there. She would have assumed normally that he was an amateur player, only here to blow off steam (Plus his money) for the weekend by playing poker and laying in bed with someone. There was something about his demeanor however the way he acted just subtly arrogant as he waited for the dealer to start, that told her that he was the one to watch during the game.
Sure enough after the first round he had won, the woman lost nothing in the hand as she had folded right when she realized she’d gotten a bad hand. Worry still had creeped up on her as she gazed at the man who looked more like a teacher’s assistant rather than a poker player, she couldn’t be seen to lose even if this wasn’t a high stakes game, she had a reputation to uphold. She could’ve left the table, gone to find some easier people to swindle, but the challenge to bring the mystery man down was too hard to ignore.
During the next round her eyes almost never left the stranger only looking down every so often at the cards she had been dealt. It got to the point in the game where everyone had folded besides her and the man, she had been raising the stakes too high for everyone else to be comfortable with participating even if they thought they had a good hand. The whole table sucked in a breath as she went all in with her bet, no one at the table seemed to be able to get a read on her, including the man who thought he was unbeatable.
“I fold.” A triumphant smirk came across her face while taking a celebratory gulp of the wine she had ordered as the man had finally admitted defeat, this was exactly the kind of adrenaline rush she had been searching for. The look on his face was pure rage, she got the sense that he hardly got angry probably because he hardly lost.
She raked in all the chips she had earned, but then decided to not show her winning hand. It was far more satisfying to her to see the frustration on everyone’s faces, to see them try to figure out her game. Was she bluffing or not?
Once she had cashed them in she left to go to her hotel in a cab that she had called until she saw the man waiting by the entrance waiting and stopped. He looked like he was waiting for someone rather impatiently by the way he was tapping his foot.
“Are you waiting for someone?”
“Yeah you.” He remarked rather simply, his foot still tapped impatiently clearly fed up with her even though the amount of words they had spoken to each other could be counted on two hands.
“Why are you looking for me?” She played the part of a coy woman perfectly, she knew exactly why he was looking for her. His cocky demeanor at the table had quickly given away to her that he rarely lost any hand that he was dealt, whether it was a bad one or not.
“How did you win? Were you bluffing? You must have been bluffing...Or you just got lucky...” His ranting would’ve been cute in any other circumstance, the fact that he had assumed what had gone down, that she was in fact only lucky or bluffing made her blood boil.
“How did you get away with card counting?” She countered back a little irritated that he had assumed that the only way she could win was if she was bluffing or getting lucky. He seemed caught off guard by her question, unable to comprehend how someone had caught him after mastering the subtle art of card counting over the years. Though she was irritated at him, she still wanted to know more about the man who looked more like a teacher's assistant than a poker player, even if she had beaten him it was still obvious that he was good at the game. “What’s your name?”
“Spencer.” His impatience was even worse now looking almost frantic at her slow pace in the conversation, he was more focused on her skills rather than her name.
“Well- Spencer it was nice to meet you, but I have to get going, better luck next time.” She wasn’t dumb, she knew he was going to follow her out to her cab, her real aim was to hopefully get him to come back to the hotel with her. She may have been looking for a poker game to release some tension, that had somewhat worked, however this game seemed far more fun.
“Please- I need to know.” His shouted out words had attracted the attention of a few casino goers who were not happy with the fact that a man was yelling right outside the doors of the casino. The little wave he gave as an apology before sprinting a little to get closer to her was cute, deepening her desire to take the man for a ride, maybe he wasn’t as much of a hot arrogant asshole that she thought.
“Why don’t you come with me if you want to find out.” She flashed him a coy smirk before ducking into the cab. The man she now knew as Spencer may be arrogant when it comes to his poker skills, but underneath it all she could tell there was a man that was intriguing. She wanted to get to know him beyond his card counting skills and possibly jump his bones. The fact that he was gorgeous did nothing but stoke the fire that he ignited during their heated conversation.
Spencer did take up her offer and got into the back seat with her. Though, whether he had caught onto the other game that they had started to play was still a mystery to her.
They had made it up to her room in the swanky hotel on the strip, being a professional did bring her in big money. The look in his eyes as he stood waiting near the door told her that he had definitely caught onto the game she had carefully set up for them. There was still a way to back out, to exit through the door where he came from, there was no chance in hell he was backing away from the woman he found infuriating but extremely gorgeous.
“You still haven’t given me your name.” The one thing that was holding him back, the fact that he still didn’t know her name. The name fell from her lips dripping with seduction, she was irresistible to him almost nothing could make him leave the room.
He surged forward to capture her lips with his own, he expected to gain dominance over the kiss swiftly though it was more difficult than he first expected. He was met with a pair of lips that wouldn’t let him gain access that he wanted, he tried to slip his tongue into her mouth but was quickly barred from entering.
She would not be giving up dominance easily.
“Condom?” He said breathlessly into my lips while she worked on the buttons of his shirt after I had hastily pushed his cardigan off and tossed it somewhere in the room.
“In my purse.” She released him to rummage through the purse that had dropped onto the floor in their haste. Once she had found what she was looking for she stood up to find Spencer sitting at the edge of the bed, belt now discarded with his slacks undone.
She moved to stand just slightly in front of him then pulled the straps of her red dress down until it pooled onto the floor. Their eyes were both blown with lust only focused on each other. She wasn’t wearing anything underneath besides a lace red thong to match the dress. Spencer was practically salivating at the sight of her only in heels and a thong, he was so distracted by it that he was caught off guard when she moved to straddle him while also pushing him to lay flat on his back.
Pulling his boxers down just enough she pulled his cock out, he was half hard at this point, she was already impressed with his size though she masked it with her practiced poker face.
“Now you’re going to sit back and look pretty while I have my way with you.” The anger on his face was prevalent in response to her words, the fight was taken away from him when she spit into her hand and started to jerk his length. Her hand moved up and down in a teasing manner not getting him even close to the edge, his moans caught up in his throat though one did escape in frustration after she had almost completely pulled away from him. Finally he had enough of her teasing, batting away her hand and flipping her over.
“Now it’s your turn to look pretty.” He pinned both of her hands above her head holding them together with one hand while the other dipped down to the apex of her thighs. At first he didn’t let her have anything she wanted, only running his fingers on her inner thighs and dancing his fingers right above her hole that was now absolutely dripping.
“Beg.” His voice was now harsh and biting, that did little to intimidate her and all it did was make her even wetter. She fought his grip with vigor not wanting to give into his demand.
“No, I won’t beg.” She said through gritted teeth, it had become much harder to finish her sentence when Spencer had unexpectedly curled his fingers inside of her, finding that perfect spot inside her faster than she had expected.
“You don’t want to beg fine, but don’t expect to cum.” The growl in frustration that came from her made Spencer pause just a little, long enough that she could retake control and flip him back over. A squeak fell from him clearly not expecting her to be able to take back control again and another noise came out from him, this time a broken moan, after she quickly put the condom down and she sunk down onto his length.
“I don’t beg for anyone.” She started at a rough pace, her anger came out in her movements as she undulated her hips with fury that Spencer had never experienced before in the bedroom. The moans falling from each of their lips would surely get her a complaint from her neighbors, neither of them could really care less as they both chased their release.
Spencer may have been on the bottom at this point, but he still had not submitted completely to her. His hands sat firmly on her hips, tight enough to create finger shaped bruises that she hoped would remain for the days after this tryst while he also thrusted with the same vigor as her bounces.
She wrapped her hands around his jaw pulling him up slightly to envelope him into a kiss full of teeth and tongue. As her hand slowly pulled away from him it made contact with the hollow of his throat, his breath hitched at the light contact and he gripped her hips a little harder. She hesitantly moved her hand to connect with his throat to lightly choke him, she may have wanted to dominate him, but she didn’t want to scare him off. He gave an approving grunt at her actions, starting to meet her thrusts even harder than he had before and moved his thumb to rub circles into her clit.
“Cum.” She ordered as soon as she sensed their coming releases. He wanted to fight her on the order, not wanting to give up what little dominance he still held, but his release was so close that he didn’t want to give it up. Their releases washed over them, Spencer first and then her not long after being shoved over the ledge after seeing how pretty he looked while cumming. She fell on top of him, limbs quite tired from her vigorous work.
As soon as she had caught her breath she enveloped Spencer in a long languid kiss that was much slower than any of their previous ones then getting up to meander with shaky legs her way to the bathroom in her hotel room to clean up. She slipped into a pair of her sexier pajamas, just in case Spencer was going to stay the night like she wanted.
“So will you tell me now if you were bluffing?” He quickly pounced the question onto me as soon as I emerged from the bathroom, he did seem a little less frustrated about the fact that he had lost, more like he genuinely wanted to know my process.
“Guess you’ll never know. It could take a long time to figure out our tells.” She feigned exhaustion with a sigh though the smirk on her face told Spencer what she really wanted. He was an expert on behavior after all.
“I've got time.”

If you were to sort the Infinity Train cast(s) into the Major Arcana a la the Persona games, which Arcana would you give everyone?
anon I had SOOOOO much fun thinking about this, thank you so much for sending me this. I sorted all the major characters, plus a few other entries, based on a mix of Arcana symbolism, Persona series character archetypes, and general vibes. I came up with answers I feel pretty good about for all but four of the Arcana. (Was really tempted to say Strength is every human character who doesn't board the train because they can handle their problems on their own lol.) This is going to be a long-winded post, so I thought I’d post just the list as an image (which hopefully won’t be too blurry!) rather than wrestle with Tumblr formatting trying to make a short list, and put a big text wall under the readmore talking more about my picks.
Tumblr media
If this list does end up illegible, the same info is under the readmore as text! Plus some characters for Magician, Strength, Justice, and Death that I didn’t want to add to the “official” list because they’re more based on headcanon. (Although my reasoning for some of the “official” picks is pretty weak lol.)
One-One as 0. The Fool
Oh my gosh, what am I?
IT is great at fleshing out character backstories and families, so One-One at the beginning of S1 is one of the few characters who really feels like a blank slate. He's got a lot of his baggage back by the end of the season, and I think One and One-One are more similar than they seem at first glance, but S1 does seem to have been very formative for One-One and how he thinks about what he's supposed to be doing and how he relates to other people. So it does kind of feel like his fool's journey.
Alrick Timmens as I. The Magician
The magician begins the journey... by beefing it on a dirt bike, dying, and sending his wife flying off the deep end. Rip.
Alrick was an engineer like Amelia, so I could see him suiting some of the themes of the Magician, like conscious thought and manifesting ideas. His apparent playfulness and insecurity are similar to the Magician characters in Persona.
Kez as II. The High Priestess
“We can’t make this decision for you, Kez.” “You know what to do.”
I thought really hard about making Kez the Magician because just like every Magician since Persona 3, she's dumb, horny, and insecure dlkjasfdkl
(and also her showing up at the start of the story arc and being helpful but also super needy is very Magician)
But the idea of "intuition" really does suit Kez. Sometimes her intuition is as bad as her conscious reasoning, but I think that's a lot because she's so confused about what happened with Jeremy, and Morgan making Kez feel like she did a bad thing by helping him.
Tuba as III. The Empress
She made me feel like I was warm all the time.
Tuba's a mom. Sorry, this one's not that deep, haha.
Simon Laurent as IV. The Emperor
Highest number! I'm the leader now.
Simon has a lot of issues, but the one that felt the most prominent to me was his unhealthy relationship with power, authority, dominance, and rules. Another quote I considered using here was what he said in Grace's memory of meeting Amelia: "I never thought I'd get to see the Conductor with my own eyes. He's perfect! Everything finally makes sense again." In his emotional crisis, he thought everything could be fixed just by the existence of a huge, scary, powerful, male authority figure, even if they weren't doing anything helpful or informative.
Atticus as V. The Hierophant
I like to think that our stones are sturdy and handsome, like the Corgis that crafted them.
Atticus is a figure of traditional authority who deeply loves the history, society, and culture of his people. He often provides spiritual wisdom and encourages Tulip to get out of her own head and engage with the world around her. Also in Persona, Hiero is the Dad Arcana so it's very funny to me (a) to make the little dog be Hiero and (b) that the little dog really does have the strongest Wholesome Dad Energy of the whole cast.
Jesse Cosay as VI. The Lovers
Don't tell me what to do. I'm not going to be a part of anything like this, on or off the train.
This was my first and easiest pick lol, Jesse is sooooo Lovers. Like, the focus on choice and personal values and relationships? Yep, that's Jesse. It works on an "actual meaning of the Arcana" level and a "vibes with the Persona characters" level lol... popular, upbeat, and having such an identity crisis.
Lake as VII. The Chariot
I'm my own person, who is getting off this train!
I don't know if Chariot captures all the ways Lake grew over the course of S2, but I feel like they had the most externally focused conflict of all the IT characters, which suits Chariot. They've been fighting to stake out their personhood from start to finish, and they took action and used their willpower to achieve that goal. Also they have at least a little jock energy which is a prereq for Chariot tbh.
Frank as VIII. Strength
I dunno, I kinda imagine him as a simple man and easily underestimated, but with a lot of heart. The Cat may say they're keeping things casual but I don't think she'd take him with her on her private vacation unless he had some kind of inner toughness that would let him stand toe-to-toe with her.
Morgan as IX. The Hermit
I need to be alone right now. Kez... maybe... we can talk later.
I like that Morgan embodies toxic self-isolation and stonewalling and rejection, but that she seems to be moving towards the positive aspects of Hermit and taking some time to calm down and process and think. I like it when characters can embody the best and worst of their Arcana.
Tulip Olsen as X. The Wheel of Fortune
We have to adapt to the changes in our lives. It's the only way things can get better.
Tulip has a lot of themes and conflicts, but this one is a clear standout as the most important. I also like it for Tulip because, while she has to handle a lot of difficult and even traumatic situations, some of the change that challenges her isn't as unambiguously bad as e.g. the death of a loved one. It really is just change itself she's struggling with, and that's Fortune babey. Also, from the perspective of the train itself and lots of other characters, by reversing Amelia and One-One's positions again and changing how One-One administrates the train, Tulip is the one giving the wheel a spin. That's fun.
Lucy as XI. Justice
One of my friends once described the Justice characters in Persona as "the ones the player character is ultimately accountable towards", and I like to think of Lucy as kind of being that for Grace (...since Hazel has excused herself). Lucy is the Apex kid we see Grace interact with the most, the first Apex kid Grace admitted to herself that she had harmed (see Grace very briefly showing distress and then regret when Jesse points the harpoons at his face and she stops him), and the first person to confront Grace when she came home in The New Apex.
Min-Gi Park as XII. The Hanged Man
I don't know if we'll sell a single album, but we'll figure that out as we go.
Min-Gi sacrifices his "realistic", "sensible" goals for a more personally (spiritually, even?) enriching life that's beyond his control and outside of the expected norm. Like the Hanged Man, who dangles foolishly upside-down, but as a deliberate choice and in a state of serenity and enlightenment. I also think this arcana suits a reading of Min-Gi's character development as starting off going slower as a way to stall and live in denial, but then going slower with deliberation. Compare his arrogant insistence on refusing to act in The Astro Queue Car to his patience and care in The Castle Car and The Train to Nowhere.
Jeremy as XIII. Death
This isn't about the death of his family - I'm thinking of his reluctance to admit his number was going down. He cared about Morgan and Kez, and it's possible both that he may have really wanted to stay with them despite his exit and that that might even have been a healthy choice - they're real ass people with feelings and everything, not holodeck characters. But I also think Jeremy was using his life with them to avoid moving on out of that fog (because it was hard and it hurt and he didn't want to think about what that would mean for him and Morgan) and Morgan was enabling him.
Ryan Akagi as XIV. Temperance
Maybe the experience is the point. I wasn't just rushing you. I was rushing myself.
I think this one speaks for itself. Also, the other quote I considered putting here, from The Art Gallery Car: "You told me I can't appreciate the song without taking in the rest of the album. I need the whole package."
The Cat as XV. The Devil
I always do the right thing.
Honestly, this is one I really wasn't sure about. The Cat isn't a great pick for a lot of the meanings of Devil. She is definitely consumed by material comforts, and the short-term rewards of ignoring her issues at a long-term cost, though. This is more of a "vibes with Persona characters with this arcana" pick... Devil characters tend to start off being somewhat exploitative or even antagonistic towards the player character, and gradually showing a more conflicted and genuine side.
Amelia Hughes as XVI. The Tower
There's a hole in the universe where Alrick used to be.
Amelia's life is defined by catastrophe and upheaval - both those she's suffered and those she's inflicted on others.
Hazel as XVII. The Star
I'm going to keep loving you like you're still here.
When I think of "The Star" as a small but inextinguishable light in the darkness, Hazel seems like the obvious choice. Although we left her deeply wounded, I think she still has a flicker of her hope, faith, and purpose.
Grace Monroe as XVIII. The Moon
But it's unfair for me to tell you how to understand yourself. I mean, I don't even fully understand me.
Grace is probably the most complex and dynamic character on the show and hence one of the most difficult to place. I considered Empress, Strength, Devil, and Judgement for her... I think ultimately, lies and illusions are the most unifying theme of her character arc. Also, from a Persona angle, her pursuit of status out of a lack of true self-worth reminds me of Ai and Mishima.
Alan Dracula as XIX. The Sun
Brought together by the majesty of a superpowered deer!
I'm sorry dkjasfklads this is largely because I thought it was funny to have this completely inexpressive dead-eyed deer as Sun akfk but also... like... it kind of works okay!!! Think about the genuine joy and comfort and positivity he brings to Lake and Jesse (and me)!
The New Apex as XX. Judgement
"Then what are we gonna be?" "Guess we'll have to figure it out?"
This is kind of a Persona mythology gag again because of Judgement being a group social link near the end of the narratives of P3 and P4, when the protagonists have pierced through the lies and actually figured out who the villain of their game is and are ready to really start making progress.
0 as XI. The World
Ah, train does it again!
It's an ending and the completion of a journey, but also the beginning of a new one. And the world is literally what the passengers receive at the end of their train journey. Welcome home.

Next Step//Jung Chanwoo (iKon)
Request: can u write something where Chanwoo (iKON) and his s/o are having se* and the rest of the members barge in expecting Chanwoo to be playing his games or something. Ty
Pairing: Jung Chanwoo x Genderneutral!Reader
Genre: Smut, Established relationship
Warnings: Unprotected sex/creampie, being caught
Words:3.6k
(A/N: I need to get better at making descriptive genderneutral smuts... One day.)
This day was like any other; you come over after Chanwoo invited you, the boys all crowd around you making comments that infantilized you in their attempt to maintain the sweet and innocent persona you presented the night you met them, Chanwoo presses a soft kiss to your forehead before leading you to the sofa in their living room to snuggle against him, and you jokingly say you thought only three of them lived in that home prompting a series of laughter before diverting your attention back to some movie playing on the television. Every week that you came over it was like this, and it was starting to bother you.
You and Chanwoo were approaching your eighth month as a couple and you were hoping things would progress further. Your indoor dates were becoming constants, always at his home or your apartment but you tried not to mind it, knowing he preferred a more private relationship and you’ve happily accepted that, so a night in wasn’t too big of a deal. But it was when, after spending hours alone in a compact space for days at a time, he still wasn’t catching on that you just wanted to fuck. Sure, you could be one of those couples that waited until your wedding night to do the deed, sticking to cuddling and hand holding for the time being, but you were filled with pent-up sexual frustration and you knew he was too, those small kisses becoming more passionate and needy whenever he returned from practice or promotions, the small whimpers he let out when he had to will himself to take things slow, they were clear signs. You wanted him to make the first move, to know for certain you weren’t the only one ready, but it never happened, and you were afraid it’d never come. Until tonight, when a miracle occurred.
“We’re going to that Italian place we tried last week.” Donghyuk stated, dragging you from your daydreams to see the six men pulling on their coats and shoes.
“What? That place is like a 40 minute drive away.” Chanwoo said, arm still wrapped tightly around you as he adjusted himself to sit up straight, your head not leaving his chest.
“I know, but Junhoe kept mentioning it and now we’re all craving it.” Jinhwan said with a sigh, kinda annoyed he has to travel so far just for a bowl of Cacciucco.
“Well, have fun, I guess. We’ll just starve until you come back.” Chanwoo said sarcastically, a soft giggle slipping past you lips as you tried to hide it.
“Shut up, we’re bring you something back. You want anything specific, (Y/n/n)?” Bobby asked, everyone’s eyes suddenly on you as you tried to think, not really caring about food but the heat rising through your body in excitement and anticipation once you realized they’ll be gone for over an hour, wanting nothing more than for them to leave that very second.
“Spaghetti. Regular spaghetti is fine.” You said, giving another bright smile they couldn’t help but coo at.
It didn’t take long for the six men to file out, your eyes watching them closely until the door shut behind, and a sigh of relief leaving your body. You had a golden opportunity right now, to make the first move and take the next step you’ve been itching for. You weren’t nervous or even scared, just ready to make every dream you had of him inside of you come true.
“Channie,” You said cutely, biting down on your bottom lip to gain his attention, his eyes meeting yours and filled with a small glint of curiosity at the sudden distraction. You were usually quiet during movies until he made a comment you’d respond to, so it was a bit odd for you to initiate conversation first this time.
“Do you want to have sex?”
The question caught both of you off guard. You wanted to be direct but the statement felt so strange coming from you, and Chanwoo felt the same. You never talked about sex or made suggestive jokes or comments, so he knew you were being sincere, his only reaction to ask ‘What?’, prompting a scoff to leave you as you practically tore yourself from his arms.
“For the last month and a half, our dates have been at home. We cuddle, watch movies, maybe eat, but that’s all and, you know I don’t mind it, I just got tired of the same thing every time but I started thinking that maybe being inside isn’t so bad. Maybe we can take another step in our relationship and explore the sexual side of it instead of just holding hands and kissing. But, y-you act like you don’t want to, and I don’t want to force you to so, I just want to know if I should stop worrying about it or if you’re ready too.”
The confession was a bit rushed and sloppy, even with all the time you’ve spent mulling over how badly you wanted this, but it was enough to get your point across. Chanwoo couldn’t even look you in the eye, trying to form his own thoughts even as he spent just as long thinking about this. He wanted this, he wanted you, he wanted to take that next step and bring back that spark to your relationship that he could only faintly remember. But your relationship was otherwise perfect, and the thought that an unexpected change could probably drive you away scared him.
“Woo,” You called to him, finally regaining his attention, giving a sad smile as your hand reached to cup his neck, easing your fingers up and into his hair until his face fell into a relaxed state and you couldn’t help by giggle a bit.
“What if you don’t like having sex with me and we break up?” He mumbled, eyes shut to enjoy the scalp massage you gave.
“Chanwoo, I questioned our relationship when you randomly suggested we stop going on dates in public so much. I also questioned our relationship when you let our team die in Apex because you’re a terrible healer,”
“It was my first time being healer, stop bringing that up!” You laughed out loud this time, his eyes opening to see your smile, still as bright and angelic as ever.
“Just think of sex like Apex; you were able to learn how to be a great healer so, if our first time isn’t that great, we can just keep practicing until you’re the best.” Your voice was a bit lower, eyes glazed over and body inching closer to his, his unconsciously doing the same.
“So what if I don’t like anything you do?” He challenged, suddenly more bold now that the situation turned for the better, the tension building around you more pleasant than unbearable, almost enticing you to continue.
You said no words as you moved away from him, his eyes watching your every move like a predator to its prey, except you were both predators, feral and ready to pounce for dominance at any moment, and this was your opportunity to strike.
You were always such an angel, always so sweet and perfect without a flaw, and somehow that statement remained, even with you sat between Chanwoo’s legs, undoing his pants with ease and pulling them down just enough (with his help of course) to release his semi-erect member. Your hands felt so soft on his thighs and your tongue moving effortlessly along the underside of his shaft, dragging up to the tip where you flicked your tongue teasingly, not breaking eye contact with the man above you. Chanwoo tried not show how much you affected him, but he couldn’t stop his underlying desires from taking over, a desperate hand moving to your hair as you took the tip into your mouth, humming playfully at his silent pleas.
You could taste the saltiness of his precum on your tongue, a pulse running to your sex at the various thoughts of him. What positions he’d have you in, how his girthy length will feel once he was inside of you stretching you out, how far you can take him into your mouth as he release his load. That last thought was enough to end your teasing, head falling further down his cock until he was at the back of your throat, not wasting time bobbing your head and hollowing your cheeks so your warm cavern massaged his dick. Maybe it was your oral sex skills or just the build-up of holding back for months, but Chanwoo felt like he was going to explode, body hot as he swallowed every moan and groan threatening to spill from his lips, fingers curling inside of your locks to keep you there, your hands on his thighs the only thing keeping him from thrusting further into your mouth, although it didn’t seem possible. You were taking him so well, using your tongue to swipe along his balls whenever you were down far enough, a pathetic whine breaking the silence formed around you, causing you to notice the movie had been paused all along, but you thought the way Chanwoo tried to keep his eyes open to watch your movements, lips parted in pleasure while letting you hear how good you made him feel was much better than any film you’ve seen.
“(Y/n/n), I’m-“ He sighed as you pulled back, hand slowly relaxing in your hair as he managed to gaze down at you, that same innocent look in your eyes as when you first arrived.
He wanted to stop you when you began to stand, moving away from him and heading towards the halls and bedrooms.
“You coming?” You called, grinning once you heard him rush from the sofa, your feet excitedly carrying you to his bedroom. It was finally happening.
You entered Chanwoo’s room first, eyes scanning to take in the interior. His television was on with a random Twitch stream still playing despite him being in the living room for most of the day, his bed was cleared yet there were various items of clothing strewn about, leaving you to wonder if you’ll be able to find yours once you both were done.
Your thoughts were interrupted by a pair of arms wrapping around your waist, lips eagerly lapping at your neck with large hands impatiently worming up your shirt. Sex was always about taking things slow, learning each other’s bodies and creating your own dance that no one else could understand but you two. But you didn’t want to take things slow, you wanted to Tango instead of Waltz, to have a taste of the best dish in the world before learning to make it. You just wanted him.
“Chanwoo, stop teasing.” You breathed out, hands trying to capture his as one began to undo your pants, the other toying with your nipple and making your chest heave in desire.
“After what you pulled,” You bit back a moan at the feeling of his hard-on pressing against your butt, eyes fluttering in his direction in an attempt to see him and the devilish smirk growing on your flesh.
“I think you can wait. Now, I need your clothes off. Now.”His voice was chilling, dominating and unsparing, an obedience you never knew existed inside of you emerging and making you follow his commands.
You listened carefully to his footsteps as he marched past you, giving you space to undress and time for you to predict his next move. You were kicking away your pants by the time he reached his nightstand, pulling out a small clear bottle of lube. You immediately perked up when he faced you, not bothering to hide your excitement while climbing onto his bed, eyes hooded with lust and hunger swirling through your irises. He was silent as he worked, squirting a stream of the clear water-based gel onto his middle and forefinger as he approached the bed. He didn’t care how messy it was, watching it drip onto both the carpeted floor and his palm but coating his fingers the way he needed before kneeling between your spread legs. Your face followed his as he leaned in to you, desperately catching his lips in a sloppy kiss, tongues and teeth clashing with one another. Your head was spinning, the air was stuffy and hot around you as you moaned into Chanwoo’s mouth, hips bucking desperately once you felt his slick fingers tracing along your hole, your body begging him to keep going and, by some miracle, he didn’t tease you too long, slipping inside of you slowly as he stretched out the somewhat virginal opening.
“Chan-“ The pathetic whimper you let out fueled him, his lips moving down to your neck as he began to thrust his digits in and out of you, not wanting to drown your sounds of pleasure any longer.
You weren’t a virgin, yet after eight months of not having sex with Chanwoo, and seven months prior to meeting him of not having sex with anyone, you felt like you were. The way you panted out whines while rolling your lower half into his hand in a haphazardly manner whereas he was curling and twisting inside of you with ease, as if he’s known your body forever, made you realize he had a lot more experience than you initially thought, maybe a lot more than you. And you loved it.
Your eyes were threatening to shut at the various sensations, a burning inside of you from the mixed feelings of his fingertips penetrating the almost hidden spot within you and his lips traveling down your body, but you didn’t want to miss the way his mouth immediately latched onto your sex, a stuttered moan echoing through the somewhat spacious room as his tongue worked against you. You couldn’t believe Chanwoo thought you’d leave him for being bad in bed, and he couldn’t believe he thought your relationship was perfect by staying at first base and that you’d leave if he took anything further, yet here you were; Chanwoo making the coil in your stomach tighten while he watched your eyes roll to the back of your head and his mouth working wonders on you. Taking this next step in your relationship was the best decision of both your lives.
“S-slow down. I’m cl- Ah!” Your legs were twitching, desperate to wrap around his head and pull him close yet your hand remained threaded in his hair, able to pull him away at any second but instead allowing him to ravage you.
You didn’t want to cum yet, you wanted to watch his face contort in pleasure as you fucked him the way you always wanted, yet you could feel the pressure in your body building, limbs tensing and convulsing as your nails clawed at his scalp, hips rolling as high-pitched warnings of your undoing left your lips, Chanwoo watching you closely as you finally released, back arching and body practically frozen as his mouth continued to ride you through your high as he swallowed your juices, mouth and fingers slowly pulling away from you as your labored breathes filled his ears.
“You okay, baby?” He asked lowly, bringing his body up until your faces were aligned again.
Your eyes peeled open, your vision crossed before you could make out his face, a bit of your essence on the corner of his lips as he smiled down at you. You leaned forward, kissing him to suck away the residue, moaning at how sweet you tasted in his mouth and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Do you think you can keep going?” He asked, certain you’d tell him now based on the fucked out expression you had, but the way your hands pulled at his shirt and tossing it away proved him wrong, his hands moving fast to get rid of his pants and boxers as his mouth eagerly found yours again.
At this point, it wasn’t about teasing or taking things slow to see how well your bodies meshed together, it was all about instinct, and Chanwoo couldn’t ignore his any longer. He was glad that you both were on the same page as he slipped his member into your lube-filled hole, a simultaneous sigh of pleasure escaping you both as he bottomed out inside of you. He didn’t hesitate to start moving, grabbing onto your thighs to hoist them around his waist as his hips moved flush against yours. His pace wasn’t too fast but it was impactful, your body shifting along the mattress with each stroke and bouncing as he reached deeper. Your moans were breathy and gentle, only encouraging your boyfriend to pull back just enough to reposition your legs on his shoulder, his pace now faster.
He loved seeing you like this, eyes half-lidded and lips parted until you sank your teeth into them to keep from crying out any louder but to no avail, he even noticed your hand going to your groin to massage your sex, a desperate attempt to bring you to another orgasm. It was amusing to think his perfect angel was a touch starved nympho just begging to cum over and over again.
“Cute.” He cooed teasingly, smirking down at you as your eyes met, desperation and exhaustion filling your gaze.
“You were begging me to fuck you earlier, now you can’t even speak. C’mon, (Y/n/n), tell me how good you feel.” You wanted to roll your eyes at his usual juvenile behavior, but you’d be lying if you said his backhanded degradation wasn’t a turn on.
Chanwoo reached forward to cup your warm cheek, thumb brushing over your plump lips as his movements still haven’t let up.
“You’re speechless now, aren’t you?”                                                                                                
“S-shut up.” You managed to stammer out, a faint yelp leaving you as he came an abrupt stop, hips pressed to yours and cock deep inside the walls of your tight hole.
“If you can still talk, that means I’m not doing a good job.” His voice held a tone that you couldn’t quite describe yet you knew it was trouble, you were even more worried when he leaned forward until your knees were just by your face.
You didn’t have time to process his motives until his hips began moving again, this time at a more brutal pace that made your breath hitch and eyes widen, the same moans you let out before increasing in volume and coming out sporadically, his hips barely leaving yours with each thrust causing the room to fill with the echoes of skin connecting with skin. Your hand left from between your bodies as his abdomen pressed to yours, the friction against your sex more effective than your own hand and every part of your body aching for more, Chanwoo groaning at the way your hole clenched around his member. You couldn’t think straight, wanting to tell him to slow down yet needing him to go faster, wanting him to go deeper yet feeling pain with each stretch of his dick, vision blurry and the Twitch stream you had once forgotten somehow louder while your moans faded into nothingness. Both your breathing was rough, his eyes fixed on your figure and the way it fit beneath him. He waited so long to have you here, wanting this moment to last forever, but the way your head lulled against the mattress, hips eagerly rolling against his as sob-like moans escaped your throat along with his name, he knew he wouldn’t last, already feeling his member twitch inside of you and he could feel you were close to.
“Where?” He asked hurriedly, not bothering to explain as you swallowed hard, trying to find your voice.
“I-inside. Please.” Your voice was simply a whisper at that point but he heard you loud and clear, giving a few more thrust and ready to release into you until-
“Hey, did (Y/n) leave already? We got them their spaghet-“ Hanbin froze at the scene before him, his groupmates not far behind and catching an eyeful of their maknae in such a vulnerable state.
Chanwoo was red faced, eyes squeezing shut and head low as he felt himself release into you involuntarily, your eyes shut as whimpers left your mouth at the feeling of your own orgasm, throat aching from your previous moans, not noticing the group of men staring at the state of you two in the doorway.
“T-the door was open and it sounded like you were playing ‘For Honor’ so we figured we didn’t have to-“
“Just leave. Please.” Chanwoo said hurriedly, your eyes opening to see twelve familiar ones staring down at you, your mouth opening for you to scream but all you could muster was a mortified gasp.
“I’ll just leave this here for you.” He said meekly while placing the bag of food on the floor, shutting the bedroom door without another word as they all felt as awkward as you did.
You weren’t sure if it was the fact they saw you naked, or the fact they potentially witnessed you being fucked, or the fact you weren’t smart enough to close the door for privacy, or the fact they may or may not have watched you have an orgasm while simultaneously being filled with cum, but you were embarrassed. And, from the way Chanwoo tried to avoid your gaze, you could tell he was as well.
“So, you hungry?” He said shyly, your eyes wide in disbelief as he nonchalantly tried to move on, pulling out of you and making his way to the bag lying by his door.
You didn’t think you could move on so easily from a moment like this, the fear of walking out that door and facing any of them gnawing away at you as your once pure reputation with them was now destroyed but, the way Chanwoo approached you with a to-go box of spaghetti and his own of chicken parmesan, stomach rumbling in hunger, you couldn’t deny that for the moment you didn’t mind eating.

Island Dreams - Chapter 20
Chapter 20 is finally here and sorry for the wait. I work full time and I am doing uni as well. I have an assignment due next week so I had to leave my fic aside as well.
Tonight here in Scotland is a big night for rugby fans. Rowan and Lorcan from my fic will be probably celebrating with me just now. Scotland has won against England at Twickenham (Home game for England) and for the three of us it's a very, very, very, big thing. I guess our two men are on their way to the pub to get totally pished (wonderful Scottish word for drunk).
Also, I was so involved in the game that I almost forgot to publish tonight.
Chapter 20 has been a challenge. I have changed a part of the story about 4 times and I hope I chose the best plot. We get to meet Chaol. I know in the books he is not as horrible but i made him a bit more horrible just for the sake of the story. Also, be happy that it finished the way it did. In one of my plans I had gone for much, much more angst. Then I told myself that I was writing a fluffy story and ignored the cruel idea.
Oh, I forgot to add that there is just a smidge of smut.
I really hope you will enjoy the chapter.
------------------
The next morning Aelin woke up before Rowan again. She had a fantastic sleep after the perfect day they had at the festival, but now she was ready to celebrate Rowan because his birthday had finally arrived. She turned to him and he was still sleeping soundly. The lines of his face soft making him even more beautiful. She had planned a birthday lunch at Maeve’s, she had a few presents for him, but most especially she intended to wake him up in a very special way. The night before he had gone to bed with just his boxer and shirtless, which meant he had been much more tired than he let it show because he never did that before. Slowly she pulled the blankets back revealing his naked chest. He was sleeping on his back making her plan much easier. Wickedly she removed her top remaining naked from the waist up. Gently she straddled him and then leaned forward depositing kisses along his torso making sure that her naked body was in full contact with his. She heard him moan softly and he slowly come to awareness. Surprise flaring in his eyes as he took in their position.
“Good morning, birthday boy.” Her body brushed his, her hard peaks against his skin. His eyes went wide. “What—” but she kissed him deeply not letting him finish the sentence. He shifted up until he was in a seated position and Aelin kept straddling him, then she leaned a bit back allowing him to look at her properly. “You are…” and he pointed at her state of undress. “Your first present.” She took his hands and placed them on her breasts. Rowan’s mouth crushed against hers, avid and needy and she did not hold back. His mouth then travelled to her neck and finally he grabbed her hard peaks in her mouths and Aelin arched her back into him. His other hand found its way in the waistband of her underwear and grabbed her butt pulling her closer to him. She felt him hard against her and she had to try very hard not to grind against him. His touch became more demanding as his tongue was doing wicked thing to her mouth. “You can touch me whenever you want,” she breathed in his ear and Rowan groaned and flipped on her back, his body now towering over her. “You…” a lick on her neck “have…” a gentle bite that sent her mind reeling “no…” his mouth on her breasts again “idea…” and his teeth closed on her nipple. Aelin gently moaned. His hands were taking in every inch of her body and she felt on fire at his touch. His mouth followed the lines of her abdomen until he reached her underwear and placed an almost reverential kiss at the apex of her thighs. It was a simple gesture but Aelin almost lost it. His mouth travelled back up and locked again onto hers but a finger slipped between her legs. He pressed gently at her sensitive spot and she felt her body jerk. Using the fabric of her underwear for friction, his finger was now making circles and she felt his mouth bend into a grin. This was not what she had planned. It was supposed to be the other way around with her giving him a special treatment for his birthday. Aelin suddenly felt it, the pressure build, her core now starting to tighten and until release rippled through her like a river out of control. She lifted her head and screamed in his shoulder. She rode her high and he did not stop until she was spent. Then he gave a quick kiss on the mouth and collapsed on the bed at her side, propping his head up with his fist. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to regain composure “This was not what I had planned,” she turned to face him and his grin was wide “I was the one one supposed to give you such a lovely good morning. Not you.” And she poked his shoulder, in response he leaned over and kissed her again. “You provoked me.” His knuckle traced her breasts “with these.” He kissed her again “and I really, really loved my present.” Still half naked she got out of bed and went to her old room to grab his presents. She came back and climbed on bed under his hungry stare. She sat down, not bothering to get dressed again. She handed him the first present and he opened it and smiled when he realised what it was: a green t-shirt with the Peat and Diesel logo. His face blossomed in a lovely smile. “Put this one on.” He said handing the t-shirt back to her. “Does it really bother you to have me naked in bed?” “No,” he said leaning closer “I want something with your smell on.” She put the t-shirt and he kissed her “perfect,” while slowly his hand sneaked underneath the fabric. She patted his hand “I have one more present.” “Very generous woman.” He sat back and took the envelope that she handed him. Once opened, he read what was on it. It was a handmade coupon for a romantic getaway of his choosing. “You choose the location. It can be the mainland or here on the islands. Anywhere in Scotland to be honest. And you get to choose when as well.” She explained “My only rules are that it’s somewhere possibly quiet and with a lot of nature. And once we have the location, I get to chose the accommodation, which will be of course on me since it’s my present to you.” She looked at him “You choose the location and the dates, everything else is on me. Clear?” His mouth was on hers again and she pulled him down on the bed where he landed on top of her. “Thank you for your presents.” She hoped he decided on his getaway as soon as possible because she could not wait any longer. His hips slammed into her and ground against her thighs gently and Aelin groaned against his shoulder. With all the force she had she pushed him off and flung herself out of bed “Breakfast. Work.” She said breathless “Please Ro, I am about to lose my wits.” And she moved to the kitchen to cook breakfast. There was no way she was letting him cook on his birthday.
The morning at the bookshop had been busy. The town was buzzing with festival goers and also tourists and they had their constant stream of people flocking in and Aelin was in her element. Some of them even had told her they had discovered the bookshop on Facebook and her face morphed into a grin. She had gone back to Rowan and told him and she bragged about her amazing PR capabilities. He, in response, rolled his eyes. “You might be the owner, but I put the shop on the map.” Rowan chuckled and kept working on his computer. Aelin got closer and sneaked her head under his arm peeking at the screen “So you are ignoring me for paperwork?” “Aelin, I am not ignoring you. You know I need to do this and reconcile the invoices.” He turned his head and looked at her. “I can handle that for you if you want.” “Title of your sex tape.” He kissed her and grinned. Since Aelin had introduced him to Brooklyn 99 he had become obsessed with the show and they have been binge watching it for a while now. Rowan had also started to make ‘title of your sex tapes’ jokes and she was so proud of him. “I created a monster.” She laughed leaning a bit more against him. He put an arm around her for a moment and kissed her head “Can I just finish this? That you can annoy me all you want.” “Fine,” she said, walking away and swaying her hips on purpose “Come and call me when you are done.” He grinned “You know what I am about to say, right?” “Yeah, title of my sex tape.” And she walked away to play with some of the shelves and let him finish work as he asked. It was a couple of hour later when Rowan joined Aelin. She had one shelf completely empty and was now re organising the non fiction section. “What are you doing?” “I am giving a chance to some of these books to be noticed.” She replied while hauling a small pile to the table “This is the slowest seller section. Fine, we don’t have many titles, but we need to make an effort so it does not lie here forgotten.” “Go ahead and have fun. I trust you.” Then he looked at a couple of titles “Let’s choose one title to put in this week’s recommendations.” “Great idea.” He left her when a customer came in and froze at the sight. He knew that face, he had seen him in a picture Aelin had binned after she moved to his place. Rage surged in him. “I am looking for Aelin.” The man said. Aelin recognised that voice and jumped and went to the front of the shop and stared at the man. “Hi babe,” Her hands fisted at her side and Rowan was at her side as soon as he noticed. “What are you doing here.” Her voice dangerously low. “Saw all you lovely pictures on Instagram and had to come and have a look where my dear ex wife had moved to.” His hands went to his pockets and strutted around the shop admiring it with curiosity “So this is where you work now? A bookshop?” He added in a mocking tone. Aelin was now shaking with rage and Rowan placed a hand on her lower back which did not go unnoticed by Chaol. “Your big dreams seem to have taken a hit.” “Why are you here?” She asked again, reining in the desire to thump him. “To take you back of course.” “You what?” Aelin was speechless “What makes you think I would want to come back with you?” “You love me.” He moved one step closer, ignoring a seething Rowan at her side “I know we had our issues but I am ready to start again. I left her. No more lies. I just want you back. We can have a trial run and then get married again.” Aelin was so shocked by the admission that she could not do anything “I can’t.” She finally said. “You lied to me for over a year. You treated me like a monster. Cheated on me and now you expect me to come back to you? Just because detective slut has left you?” She took a step toward him “You have some guts.” “Aelin, please,” he grabbed her wrist but Rowan grabbed her as well and pulled her back to him. Chaol looked at Rowan and the man straightened up to try and look as imposing as possible. Rowan was a good twenty centimetres taller than Chaol. “Seriously? This guy? You are leaving behind your life in London for this guy?” Aelin heard the growl coming from Rowan. “There is nothing in London for me, Lysandra aside. My life there is a part of the past, same as you are.” “Aelin I was wrong okay? And I am sorry for the way I hurt you. But these months without you made me realise I miss you and I want to do all I can to take you back.” He took another step closer to her. Aelin started pacing. Her mind was spinning out of control. There was no way she was going back to him. Never. She was furious. “I am not coming back.” She eventually said in a low tone, looking at him in the eyes. “My life is here now. I am looking for a job as a doctor here. And I have Rowan. You had your chance and you blew it. Now it’s too late. You should have fought when there was a chance to fix things. It’s over Chaol.” “A job here? Treating what? Sheep? Come on, Aelin, you have more ambition than that.” Rowan almost lunged forward but Aelin stopped him and gave him a tender smile. “Even on an island people need doctors. This is my life now.” She placed herself between the two men, facing her ex husband “And I love it here.” “You can’t be serious.” His tone was getting on Aelin’s nerves. “Like a heart attack.” Was her dead pan reply. Chaol ran his hand through his hair a move that a long time ago it would have sent her shivers down her spine and then ended up in his arms. “It looks like your leg has healed.” She needed some time to refocus. He was taken aback by the sudden change of topic “Yeah, Lysandra is a wizard at her job. I am still walking slowly, but I abandoned my cane last week and I will go back to work the next one.” “Good.” “Aelin, can we please have lunch together and talk? Perhaps without an audience?” And he glared at Rowan. “No. I have said all I had to say to you.” She sighed. He was always stubborn “I have no regrets for the divorce. We were not happy anymore. You were a cheating bastard. It was the only option and you need to accept it. I have moved on. Now it’s time you go back to London and do the same.” “Did you fuck your boy toy already?” Aelin stepped dangerously closer to Chaol “Yes. And you know what?” Another step “He made me scream in a way that you never did all those times he fucked me against a wall.” That was petty but Chaol was out of line and she had enough of him. Then she took a step back and joined Rowan and placed an arm around his waist. She could see rage in his eyes. “Aelin has been quite clear. I would recommend you to leave this shop immediately and never come back.” Rowan’s voice was flat and she realised she had never heard him like that. It was eerie. He was furious. Probably just as much as she was. “Chaol, please…” “I loved you.” He shouted “I still do. I don’t deserve all this hate. It was not all my fault. You didn’t even try,” he stepped back. He was about to add something else but gave up in the end. “Fine. Enjoy your pathetic life here. Enjoy your new boy toy, I hope he can handle you. You are not worth it. Not anymore.” And with those words he left. As soon as he was out of the shop Aelin let out a sob. Her hand to her mouth and her body shaken by the now full blown sobs. Rowan moved a step to her to try and console her but she moved away. She went to the back office and gathered all of her stuff “I need to be alone.” “Aelin…” Rowan’s hand was extended in an effort to stop her. “Leave me alone. Everyone.” She growled and left the shop. Rowan felt his heart break at those words. He only moved again when he heard a customer enter the shop.
Working had been a nightmare. Rowan’s mind kept thinking about Aelin’s broken stare. She pushed him away and the whole thing was driving him insane. She wanted space and he was going to give it to her but it did hurt. He closed the shop at his usual time and went back home with dread in his guts. She hadn’t texted him and he was getting worried. They were meant to go to the ceilidh but that was probably off the table now. And he raged. He was looking forward to dance with her. Once at home he changed into something more comfortable and crashed on the sofa. He lay down and placed a hand on his head and his mobile on his chest, just in case he had news from her. He was almost falling asleep when the phone buzzed. He jumped seated and went for the mobile. It was a text from Aelin. I am sorry. Are you okay? Where are you? Tolsta. Was all she said. Rowan stood and debated what to do next. She had told him where she was. Did it meant it was okay now for him to join her? He paced for half an hour and in the end he decided to go to her. Then he stopped. His car was still in the shop and swore loudly. He had a look at the buses and for a moment he hated island life where buses could be infrequent and stopped after a while. He couldn’t even ask his aunt because she lived outside town and she needed the car to go back home. Finally he decided to get a taxi. It was his only option. He booked the ride and got changed again very quickly. The ride was short and fifteen minutes later he spotted her car at the car park and made his way to her, his heart hammering with fear. What if she was going to break up with him? He knew it was a stupid idea but he was terrified. Once he reached the beach he noticed her seating in the sand, her arms around her legs and his Glasgow uni hoodie on. He had returned it to her the day before. He stopped behind her. “Aelin.” “I am sorry.” She said in a voice that broke his heart. “Can I sit down beside you?” She patted the spot on the sand beside her, but never turned to face him. Rowan sat down beside her and noticed she was staring out to the sea. Her eyes were puffy and anger resurged in him. “I am sorry… I din’t mean…” she leaned her head on his shoulder and her crying resumed. His arm went around her and pulled her closer and rocked her in silence. “He made me so mad.” And another sob rippled through her “I am so tired of hurting for him.” Rowan wanted to say something but at the moment he had nothing that could help her. “I gave him ten years of my life. Ten. And it just went down the toilet.” She breathed in deeply and tried to regain some control “what’s the point in falling in love. It just ends in pain anyway.” Rowan froze at those words. She could not be really thinking about giving up on them. Aelin stare met his “Even us. What’s the point? Knowing my luck you’ll grow tired of me in a few years and bugger off to a new woman.” Rowan kissed her “No.” He said cupping her face and forcing Aelin to stare at him “No. I understand that right now you are in pain, but you can’t give up on us.” And he kissed her again to make his point “I don’t know what fate has decided for us, but I know that I will do my very best to make you happy. You are my everything and I am not giving up on you. Don’t even think about it.” “You say that now—“ He stopped her “Aelin I know my feelings. I am in this for the long run. I love you. And I have never been surer of my feeling in my life. You have to believe me.” “I am scared.” She confessed, snuggling to him “What if we are going too fast? We have known each other for only a few months. We already live together and share the same bed. We said to each other things that people who have been going out for a few months don’t usually say. I am terrified.” She looked up at him, fearing the hurt she would see in his eyes. His hands never left her face “I am scared too. After Lyria left me I told myself never again. I was willing to be on my own forever because I could not cope with the idea of committing so much again. And then you appeared in my life and all my resolutions went to hell.” A gentle kiss on her lips “I have the same fears as you. I love you. Madly” then he smiled at her “If we were in a fantasy we would now confess each other we are soulmates and I would praise our love with an epic speech.” “But we are not…” she added sadly. “No, but it doesn’t change what I feel for you. The fact that no matter how crazy it sounds, I am sure about us. Somehow my soul is telling me you are its missing half. And it frightens me, but I am not giving up on you just because I am scared.” Aelin caressed his face and stared at him in silence. “If you want to slow down, go back to your room or find your own place, I will understand.” She shook her head, tears flowing down her face “No. No, never. I am fine just the way things are. Chaol’s words hit me more that I was expecting. I thought I was over all the pain, but it looks I am not.” “You were not ready. You were not expecting him to come into our shop and say those horrible things to you.” He pulled her face to his chest and hugged her tight “I was terrified when you left. I thought I lost you somehow. And it was the scariest feeling ever.” “I thought about breaking up with for a minute. I was trying to convince myself that not being attached to anyone was the better option. Then I tried to picture not having you at my side and I was even more scared, because I can’t.” “I almost punched him.” Confessed Rowan, lingering in the feeling of her body against his “I have never punched anyone in my life but for him I would have made an exception.” He heard her chuckle and the ice gripping his heart finally thawed away. “That would have been a show I would have paid to see.” “I ruined your birthday.” She sniffled. “You did not. Police officer did. We just blame him.” He kissed her head “being here with you is perfect enough. You are my most precious present.” Aelin laughed “That is so cheesy.” He followed her “I know. I am shocked. See what you did to me?” He felt her hands cover his on her waist “You transformed me into a man who sings epic declarations of love and says cheesy things. You ruined me.” They were silent for a while and then Aelin spoke again. “Ro? I applied for a job as senior emergency surgeon.” She had applied for the job a few days before but hadn’t been able to tell him. It felt like a betrayal. He turned to her and smiled “Good.” “You are not mad at me?” He squeezed tighter “Why on earth? It sounds like an amazing opportunity and I could never be mad at you for choosing to do what you love.” “But the shop—“ “You don’t worry about the shop. Go, get the job and rattle the stars. I will be very proud of you.” “It feels like a betrayal.” And Rowan understood her uncertainty. “No it’s not. Not even close. You are not leaving me or abandoning me without reason. For as much as I hate the man, Chaol was right. Working in a bookshop is not for you. Not with the skills you have. The hospital will be very lucky to have someone with your experience.” And he meant it. Every single word. He wanted her to succeed “unlike some people, I am not scared of a successful woman at my side.” And she finally grinned at him and light reached her eyes still red from the tears. He kissed her forehead. “Ro?” “Yes?” “I am not in the mood for the ceilidh tonight. Can we just stay at home and watch Netflix or read? And snuggle?” “We can also order food and have a very quiet birthday evening. I would love that very much.” “Thank you. Rowan just kissed her. He’d do anything to make her happy. To make sure he could see that wonderful smile on her every single day of their life together. Then he finally stood “Come on. Get your arse off the sand and let’s go home. We have season five of Brooklyn nine nine to tackle.” She stood, stopped right in front of him and kissed him “I love you.”

The Scavenger Hunt Part 1
Steven was trying to enjoy his birthday. But a certain someone that he invited didn’t want to participate. It was very frustrating for him, especially with the rest of his family trying to get him to stop trying to help everyone else and just enjoy himself for a bit. But he couldn’t help it. Helping others was his whole life, if someone else wasn’t as happy as he was then he couldn’t be happy until they were happy.
Blue and Yellow Pearl invited him over so they could share something important with him. “I think it’s called a... scavenger hunt?” Yellow Pearl said in an uncertain manner.
“You follow the clues to find the surprises until the end where there’s some kind of big reveal,” added Blue Pearl.
“Look, guys,” said Steven. “Thanks for everything, and I really appreciate all the kind gestures, but I’ve already got a renovated house, that pocket telescope Connie gave me, and that party suit from you two, so I don’t really need any more gifts. I just want everyone to have a good time.”
“But you deserve some fun too, Steven,” said Amethyst, who was nearby. “Would it hurt to be spoiled a bit for just one day?”
“I mean, it might...” Steven uttered sheepishly. “Dad often talks about how-”
“Dude, forget it!”
“Besides, we’ve already set everything up,” Yellow Pearl stated. “Everything would go to waste if you said no.”
Steven sighed. “Alright, fine, I’ll humor you this once. But it’s just so we can have fun, got it?”
Blue Pearl nodded. “You may want to get into your adventure appearance modifiers for this one, Steven.”
Connie and decided to join the Pearls along with Amethyst and Steven for this hunt. However the others were rather partied out and opted instead to collapse on the sofas in the expanded house and just chat.
Steven looked at his first clue:
A carrier the shape of a sweet
Lies in the hands of some new old friends
Just down the street.
Steven was confused. “Which street? There are lots of them in Beach City.”
Yellow Pearl blushed. “Uh, we hadn’t really thought that out.”
“Alright, just follow us then,” said Blue Pearl.
“Not much of a hunt then now,” Amethyst grumbled.
“Come on guys,” said Connie. “They’re trying to do they’re best. We should have fun regardless.”
Steven frowned. “I just don’t get it. They’re up to something and I don’t understand why they would do all this for me.”
The three of them followed the Pearls all the way to the end of Beach City, right around where the water tower was. Steven was quite surprised to say the least, not by the gift itself, but by who was presenting it.
Tumblr media
“FAMETHYST!?!?” exclaimed Steven and Amethyst at the same time.
“So these are all the gems you met up in space when you were rescuing your dad?” asked Connie.
“Only a few of us,” said Amethyst 8XJ (the Amethyst with the curl) “The rest of the humans and quartzes are back at the zoo. J-10 and Y-6 just decided to tag along. We’ve even been able to unbubble the Rose Quartzes and cruise the galaxy as we please.”
“Woah!” exclaimed Amethyst. “How did you guys convince Holly Blue?”
“We didn’t,” stated Skinny Jasper.
“She got fired and reassigned somewhere else!” shouted Carnelian. “We’re rid of her for good!”
“Ste-van! We were told to give this to you,” said Y-6. He handed him a strange looking drawstring bag. “Happy fifteenth birthday!”
“It’s an ice cream cone drawstring bag from the Wacky Sacks Supply Company!” Steven looked puzzled. “But where did you get this? How did the Pearls get you guys in on this thing?”
8XJ shrugged. “We dunno. We were just doing our jobs and then Holly Blue Agate got a notice of termination. With her out of the way, we figured that we could finally do as we please, take joyrides, relax in the pools, explore other planets, and just hang out!”
“We kinda just bumped into the Pearls while exploring Earth a little bit, and then we had this brilliant idea to say hello to all of you!” said Carnelian.
The Amethysts including 8XM all went into for a group hug. “Whatever the case may be, it sure is nice to see you guys again,” she said. “Feel free to drop by the temple anytime! I could even show you my room and all the junk I’ve collected over thousands of years of living here!”
“Steven, I think it see a note attached to the bag,” said Connie. “It must be another clue!”
“Why don’t you do this one, Connie?” replied Steven.
“Well, okay. I do hope you get to do at least one though.”
The next clue you seek
Involves song, not speech
For under a stage on your way
Is a special recording
For a special day.
“This one is easy!” said Connie. “It’s gotta be the stage that they set up for special events like speeches, Beach-A-Palooza, and concerts!”
Steven was confused. “But they aren’t holding anything special in Beach City today. The stage would have to be folded up and put away somewhere.”
“Well, maybe we can just ask around,” Amethyst suggested. “Didn’t you want this to be a bit more of a challenge?”
However, it didn’t take that long. Since Sadie Killer and the Suspects often had to help set up, Sour Cream was able to point them in the direction of the abandoned warehouse where the stage parts were normally kept in storage. It only took about ten minutes of digging before they found a VHS tape with the words BIRTHDAY BALL BASH written on it.
When Steven found a TV to start the video however, the Pearls got quite flustered and fast forwarded the entire thing, obscuring the screen so that all Steven could hear was high pitched indiscernible lyrics.
“Hey! What gives?” Steven asked, frustrated.
“Eh heh heh...” muttered Yellow Pearl.
“This video was chock full of embarrassing and cringey moments,” Blue Pearl bluntly stated. “We’re doing you a favor by skipping the entire thing.”
“And here it is! The final clue!” interjected Yellow Pearl. “It’s at the end of all this awful footage!”
“Wait, seriously? It’s already the end!?!?” Amethyst blurted. “You guys are terrible at planning scavenger hunts!”
“Amethyst, don’t be rude!” snapped Steven. He turned to the Pearls. “I am really sorry about all of this, I know you’re trying your best.”
At the hill’s apex
Is where you’ll want to go next.
A spotlight will uncover
Your last gift concealed
And all shall be revealed.
“The lighthouse!” exclaimed Steven. “It is rather far from here on foot though.”
“That’s okay! We can just walk back leisurely,” said Connie. “Even if this whole thing was super easy, we can just take our time. It’s been a while since the two of us got a moment to just relax together anyway.”
“Well, I’m always up for long walks on the beach with my best friend,” Steven blushed contentedly. “I’m game!”
After spending about an hour trekking to the lighthouse, the two of them looked over the edge of the lighthouse by the telescope together. By that time, the sun was beginning to set.
““Wow...” Connie said. “I know that Beach City sunsets were beautiful, but I’ve never seen one from this view before...”
“Yeah...” Steven trailed off. The sunset’s glow lit up Connie’s face in sight a beautiful manner that he felt like he could just gaze into her eyes forever.
“Do you think we could stay up and watch the stars come out?” asked Connie. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to study them up close with this kind of telescope.”
Steven looked back and laughed. “I think if we did, the Pearls would get even more impatient. They’ve been trying to cheer me up, I think.” He slowly took Connie’s hand. “But if we may, I... I’d like to share this moment with you. We’ve been through so much together, and- and I don’t think we’ve had much time to make it official, but... will you be my girlfriend?”
“Oh! I didn’t think you’d ask-”
“You don’t wanna be my girlfriend?”
“No! I mean, yes! I mean, I didn’t think you would ask right here and right now, but yes. I would love to be your girlfriend.”

However, their moment was interrupted by cheering and shouting below.
Tumblr media
“YEAH! WOO!”
“GO GET ‘ER!”
“I just can’t wait to help plan your wedding!” said Sapphire giddily.
“Wh-what!?” exclaimed Connie.
Both Steven and Sapphire looked very awkward. “Oh, sorry! I got so caught up in it that I must have been looking too far into the future...”
“WHAT!?”
“FORGET SHE SAID THAT!” shouted Ruby. “WE’RE JUST VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!”
“Hold up!” Steven called down to them. “First of all, I wasn’t proposing marriage, I just asked Connie to be my girlfriend! Second, what were you doing spying on us like that!? We were having a moment!”

Lovesick Six and a Murderous Robot Boyfriend
Tumblr media
Relationship(s): Revenant/original female character, Wraith/original female character, Mirage/original female character, Bloodhound/original female character, Octane/original female character, Crypto/original female character, Loba/original female character
Words: 8,411
Warnings: None
Summary: The new girl is very pretty and she's got most of the men (and some of the women) pining for her. Problem is, she's got her eyes set on a certain simulacrum.
Pretty girls can fight. Pretty girls can be tough. Pretty girls can be scary and threatening. Just because Gia was pretty didn't mean she didn't belong in the Games. I mean, Loba was almost perfect in every physical way and yet she knew her way around a pistol. Che had a cute face and yet her teams almost always were Champion. And of course Elliott was downright the most handsome man in the Games and yet he could wipe a team if need be. Being attractive didn't mean you were weak. In fact, Gia being attractive gave her an advantage to the game. After all, how could a pretty girl like her be any trouble? You think you're safe because look how cute she is, what is she gonna do to you? And then all of a sudden you're eating dirt because she shoved a wingman up your ass and annihilated you.
Gia's origins are unknown to the rest of the Legends. She showed up one day unexpectedly and won Champion that same afternoon. Her kit and abilities brought a whole new playstyle to the Games: a playstyle that both terrified and intrigued the others. Her enhanced vision gave her every input she needed to weaken your team's defenses. She knew exactly whose health was hanging on by a thread, giving her the ultimate advantage to breaking your team apart and dwindling your numbers until you were way beyond outmatched. The Legends assumed she had some sort of black market enhancement done to her eyes given the fact that they were far from being normal. How she managed to slip through the Apex recruitment with her fiercely white irises was beyond everyone. I mean, come on! The girl's eyes were as white as snow all around! The only color to them was a very faint, needle-thin black line separating her sclera from her iris. Everything else was pure white. Even her pupil. Crypto was already walking on thin ice with his illegal body enhancements. The only reason no one actually paid much attention to it was simply because his modifications didn't directly impact his abilities in the arena. But Gia was a whole other story.
Typically, the Legends expect Silva to dive head first into a fire fight with his stim. Or perhaps they'll see Crypto's drone following them around. And on occasion a team will back out of a fight to heal up and end up running into another team holding a choke point with Wattson's electric fences. All of this was expected. And then Gia came along and now every Legend that wasn't on her team was afraid of her tactical EMP that disabled all enemy primary weapons. You could pin her team down and you think you're gonna win, and then all of a sudden your Devotion stops all functionality and now you have to rely on your Alternator with 20 shots left in the chamber.
As if that wasn't enough of a fright, instead of Makoa's air strike landing on your head or Bloodhound storming up behind you faster than humanly possible, Gia's big trick messed with your mind and your vision. In the blink of an eye, you are no longer able to discern who is teammate and who is enemy. And it's not as simple to just say "Wraith is not on my team. I need to shoot her" because the enemy Wraith you're staring down through a 4x-8x will suddenly appear as your friendly Pathfinder and your friendly Pathfinder will suddenly appear as the enemy Wraith. It was more likely to die via friendly fire than enemy fire when Gia's ultimate activated.
The only reprieve the other Legends got was finding out that she was insanely friendly. Thank god too because no one needed another Dr. Nox or another Revenant on their team. Gia was friendly with everyone she interacted with. Despite her scary demeanor, she got along rather excellently with the other Legends. And that's when most of the trouble started.
It all started off as friendly taunts. Elliott took the first step and made a move on her immediately. After all, she's beautiful, he's beautiful, it only made sense for the two of them to date. They could be the ultimate power couple. Their two beautiful faces displayed up high on the Champion banners. It was a dream. But she politely shut him down. Still, he tried again. And she laughed and played along. "My my, Mr. Witt. Aren't you the massive charmer!" This caught the attention of the daredevil himself and he attempted to get under Elliott's skin by literally sliding by them in the arena and dropping the biggest pickup line she's ever heard. "Aye, amiga. Thanks for brightening up the place with your beautiful face." and then he put a couple bullets in Witt's stomach. Silva's team went down immediately for that stunt and Elliott was able to be picked back up, but his idea worked. Elliott was obviously mad at the green-haired adrenaline junkie after the game for trying to steal "his girl" but it was all in good fun when she turned him down too. Bloodhound soon was seen at her side more often than not. He found her skills fascinating and her air of mystery perfectly matched his own. They had sort of an unspoken bond between them, connected solely on the fact that both of their lives were an enigma. Everyone asked her about herself but she never opened up. When it was just her and Bloodhound, neither one even dared to ask the other about their past. It was comforting being able to sit with someone and not have to worry about prying curiosities. Bloodhound attempted to flirt; there was lots of hand touches and close sitting. Yet she turned him down too.
After that it became an unofficial competition between the three of them to see who could win her over, which lead to a lot of showing off and friendly banter. Elliott would throw pickup line after pickup line at her. Silva did crazy stunts to impress her. Bloodhound brought her tea every morning. And yet nothing ever came of it. Gia would play along every now and again but at the end of the day she made it clear she was just playing. Still didn't stop the men from trying.
And then Loba joined the crowd. And boy oh boy was that a surprise. The chick was into chicks! "Did you clowns ever stop and think that maybe you don't have the right parts she's looking for?" Loba taunted them. But she was right, of course. None of the men asked Gia if she was even straight. But it was still all laughs and good times regardless if she ever found an interest in them. Loba had other ideas in mind. She was thoroughly convinced that Gia was full on gay, looking to get it on with another girl. And Loba believed she was just the girl to get her rocks off. Loba was much more blunt than the men ever were in their affection. That night while all the Legends were winding down with some drinks and enjoying the royalties they made from the recent Game, Loba approached Gia and asked her if she would like to join the seductive thief in a private area away from the loud crowd. When she agreed, the three men that had been pining for her started to believe Loba was right all along. Loba and Gia were gonna do it! Loba was gonna fuck the new girl before they were! As much as Elliott enjoyed the thoughts that put into his mind (and trust me, he enjoyed them a lot), he was upset that all of his attempts had been for naught.
Loba and Gia had disappeared for hours and the three men all huddle together in somber at their ultimate defeat. Elliott poured several rounds of drinks for them in solidarity and they cheered a farewell to their playful challenge. It was Gia 's friendly "What's wrong, boys?" that gathered their attention mid-mope. Silva was just about to tell her of their shallow depression when he spotted Loba stiffly walking up to the bar for another drink with a pout on her face. The thief looked just as pristine as when she and Gia disappeared. Not a single wrinkle in her clothes nor a thread of hair out of place in its braids. So she was wrong!
"Nada, bonita. We're all good here!" he happily told her and shot back what was left of his current drink. "Right, guys?" he nudged them with a big 'ole grin on his face. Neither of them picked up on his hints but they agreed with him anyway. She didn't buy it for one second and got another round for them to put a smile on their faces. A single, friendly peck to each of their cheeks is what really solidified their grins and she walked off, happy to have made them smile. When Loba approached them after Gia walked away, Silva was quick to ask the slumping woman what went on behind closed doors.
"I was wrong." she admitted pitifully. "She turned me down too."
"So the competition is back on?" Elliott questioned and all four of them agreed. And thus their antics continued: Elliott flirted, Silva showed off, Bloodhound gifted things, and Loba seduced. None of it worked in the slightest. But Gia would laugh it off and let her touches linger just that fraction of a second longer that made them all question their sanity. If they were teamed up with her, they'd give her the items she requested. If she was hungry, they got her food. If she was feeling unwell, they took care of her until she was better.
"Like lost puppies." Anita commented to the four of them as she watched them all practically drool at the sight of Gia on the complete opposite end of the room. She seemed unaware of their presence but they knew she knew they were there. She sat with Makoa and Pathfinder, all three of them happily chatting with each other without a care in the world. Makoa's big belly laughs rang in everyone's ears.
"She's totally into me, I can tell." Elliott stated matter-of-factly.
"As if." Loba retorted.
"Did'cha ever think that maybe she got someone already?" Che asked with a smirk. "Some of us got loved ones back home."
"I doubt it, amiga. She would've told us if she did." said Silva.
"Maybe she didn't want to tell you. Seems like she doesn't tell anyone anything about herself. For all you know, she could have a husband, or wife, and several kids back on her home planet." Anita commented. The latter part of her sentence fell on deaf ears as the four love-sick Legends stared in Gia's direction when she laughed at something either Pathfinder or Makoa said. Her laugh was like music to their ears. Anita rolled her eyes towards Che and the other simply shook her head.
"Look at her! She's absolutely gor-gor-gorg... pretty! We're totally comp-compat... made for each other!"
"If we're going off looks alone, surely there are better suitors than you." Loba told Elliott with a smirk.
"Hey now, that's quite rude!"
"Gia is a strong fighter. Our skills are equally matched. Perhaps she's not looking for a superficial partner at all."
"All of you are a hack." Crypto's voice surprised everyone. He stood just off to the side, watching them with a bored expression on his face. Hands in his pockets, as is his usual stance, he eyed all four of them down.
"Come on! Don't try and tell us you don't think she's muy caliente."
"She is very beautiful," Crypto agreed. "and you are very desperate."
"So you are not in any way attracted to her." Loba stated rather than asked. She leaned forward, chin on her knuckles, and pressed him.
"I never said that."
"So you think about her."
"I never said that either."
"Say what you want, but until she tells me to back off I'm not going anywhere."
"And neither am I!" Elliott responded rather quickly -and defensively.
"That makes three of us." said Silva.
"Four."
"Fine. Make it five."
"I can't believe this." Che grumbled.
Gia found Crypto unexpectedly by her side more and more. He was rather reserved and his attempts at flirting were down right embarrassing. She tried not to show pity for him. The poor guy probably hadn't ever touched a boob before. She assumed him like Elliot, Silva, Bloodhound, and Loba and went along with whatever he said. She never asked much from Crypto and he was thankful for that. He had no idea how to woo her. He knew absolutely nothing about her, but who was he to ask her about her past if he wasn't willing to exchange an equal value? She was pretty and she was talented, so he tried to play to those strengths. He complimented her when she dolled up and he praised her when her team won Champion. Very rarely was he ever paired up with her so he often admired her through his scopes. He assumed to himself that he could impress her if he won Champion, so he tried his best to wipe the floor with any enemy teams he came across. More often than not, her team would demolish his so he would side step her if he spotted her. However, whenever Caustic or Revenant were on his team, there was no room for niceties and they went in with guns blazing whether he liked it or not. Caustic would throw his gas traps at them, or Revenant would silence them, and then suddenly both teams were at war with each other.
Just last week, Revenant went charging in at Gia, Bloodhound, and Wattson. He silenced their abilities, giving Revenant an easy target on the blonde girl before she could even defend their position with her electric fences. Wattson went down like a sack of bricks. And then Wraith went charging in on Bloodhound. She managed to break the hunter's shields before Gia came to her teammate's rescue and knocked the voidwalker to the ground with a few well-placed 301 shots. Crypto attempted to help his team by going in with his drone and EMP-ing the two enemies still standing. With their abilities still silenced, Gia was unable to fight back at the same caliber and Revenant took his EVA and pulled the trigger three times in Gia's chest. She collapsed to the ground with her knockdown shield aimed directly at the robot.
"Nothing personal, girlie." he chuckled as he tried to show off and finish her. He got interrupted when Bloodhound came around the corner and shot his hopped-up Wingman into the simulacrum's skull. Revenant went down as well. That left Crypto versus Bloodhound. Crypto was still fully shielded as opposed to Bloodhound. However, Crypto was armed with a 45 while his opponent had a Wingman with a skull-piercer on it. Even if Crypto landed all of his shots, it would only take three from the hunter to fully knock him. And he did indeed get knocked. His gold knockdown shield was the only thing that kept his team from being spawned out of the arena and back onto the dropship. Bloodhound knows Crypto's entire team was down so he was not at all worried about being shot in the back as he picked up both Gia and Wattson. Gia didn't waste any time healing and instead finished off Revenant with a big fucking smile on her beautiful lips.
"It's not personal, Rev." she echoed back at him and followed it up with a knee thrusted into the simulacrum's throat and then a low roundhouse kick to the side of his skull. Revenant disappeared, his banner taking his place. Meanwhile, Bloodhound turned to Crypto and attempted to finish him off as well. The last thing Crypto saw was the hunter's battle axe being thrown at his head. And then he and Wraith were standing next to Revenant on the dropship while the on-ship medics came to tend to their wounds. Crypto ignored them, instead turning all of his focus towards the displays following the remaining teams in the arena. One monitor focused on the general rotation of the arena. Another showcased the team that killed his. Crypto's eyes followed Gia's face on the display. She was quick to heal up and then lead her team towards the ring.
The rest of the game was long-lived. Many teams put up a good fight with each other. Ultimately, the best team had to win and that team was of Lifeline, Octane, and Gibralter. Gia's team came second. As skilled as she was, going against Lifeline was a difficult feat. Especially when Gibralter's shield dome gave the team ample cover for a quick pick-up. Not to mention the fact that Silva was nearly resistant to pain and was able to recover without the use of meds once he was picked up. A good heal will almost always out fight heavy damage. Once all the teams made it back onto the ship, Crypto approached Gia. "Good fight." he simply said. She smiled at him and returned the sentiment with a peck to his cheek. Crypto felt his face grow hot and he heard a snicker beside him. He found Loba, Bloodhound, Silva, and Elliott watching him with dopey smiles. Loba crossed her arms and eyed him in a way that meant she told him so. He ignored them in favor of getting patched up the rest of the way by the ship medics.
"You may have won this time, little girl, but I'd watch my back if I were you." Revenant threatened Gia at the other end of the ship. He bent down to her level and stared right into her eyes. But she didn't shy away from the simulacrum's threatening advances.
"The only thing I'll be watching is a replay of me finishing you." she shot at him. He simply returned her remark with a deep, throaty sound and then he stalked off.
That night, Elliott threw a small after-party at his place. There were drinks aplenty, more food to go around than anyone could think of, and of course the Champion squad. All complete with Silva begging to do some party tricks and doing them anyway regardless of how Elliott responded. Not as if Elliott would say no to his friend anyway. Everyone came out to the party. Even Dr. Nox and Revenant who hardly ever show their faces when not in the arena. Still, they kept to themselves and only participated when coaxed. Well, at least Dr. Nox did. Revenant just stalked everyone as per usual.
Gia tried to make rounds with everyone but it was becoming difficult with five of the Legends begging for her attention. Silva wanted her to watch him light himself on fire. Which he did and she watched on like she promised. "One of these days you're gonna get yourself killed, love." she said to him as she patted down the last of the flames burning away at his shorts.
"As if Death could catch me, chica bonita."
"Promise me you'll live to see tomorrow so we can get lunch."
"Absolutamente!" he grinned from ear to ear and then she walked off to sit and talk with Anita and Che. "She wants me." he said to Elliot. The latter simply rolled his eyes.
"She only said that because she doesn't want to watch you kill yourself tonight."
"She so wants me."
Gia chatted with the two women. Gia congratulated Che on her win today and the medic praised her back with a statement of her skill. "A couple close calls." the woman had said and Gia nodded in agreement.
"A toast to our Champion!" Anita held her glass in the air and the other two women clinked theirs together and took a large gulp of their drinks.
"Let's hang out this week. Go do something fun. My treat, of course as a present for our lovely Champion here." Gia offered the two women.
"I'm in the mood for a nice massage!" chirped said Champion. "It hurts having to carry 'round these children all the time." This made the other two laugh heartedly.
"I swear, some of these kids want to get hurt." commented Anita.
"Sounds an awful lot like those five over there." Gia pointed to the group huddled together and watching her.
"They just tryna impress ya. Problem is they don't know when to quit it."
"I think it's cute."
"Do ya like any of them?" Che asked and Gia sat back and thought about it for a second.
"They're certainly cute. And it's funny watching them flirt. But it's all just fun and games."
"You seeing anybody? They won't stop unless you tell them you're taken." said Anita matter-of-factly. She took another gulp of her drink.
"They don't need to stop. It's nothing serious. No one's getting hurt and I've already told them no so it's not like I'm leading them on. Let them dream a little."
"As long as ya okay with it."
"I am." she responded. "I'm also hungry. Be right back." she told the women and got up to grab some food that was piled up on a table. There was so much food here but she wouldn't be surprised if it all got eaten anyway. There were some hungry Legends here and -she's not going to name names- some of them can absolutely pack it away. Silva didn't count, however, because his metabolism was way faster than normal so it's never a surprise to see the green-haired junkie go up for fourths or even fifths. Gia grabbed a plate and filled it with foods that appealed to her. Nothing fancy but just interesting enough to get doubles of. As she was making her way back to Che and Anita, she spotted Wraith sitting alone and moping. Gia detoured over there and took a seat opposite of the woman.
"You doing okay?" she asked, making Wraith look up at her and force a smile.
"Yeah, I'm good."
"You sure? I didn't hit you too hard out there today, did I?" Gia attempted to lighten to mood. It worked to a degree; Wraith cracked a more genuine smile and gave a short chuckle.
"You got some good shots on me but that was pure luck." she said. "Good game today, by the way."
"You too. Do you wanna talk about what's bothering you? I'm all ears."
"Thanks but I'll be fine. It's nothing serious."
"Come find me if you ever need a shoulder." Gia offered the woman and was gifted a nod with a bigger smile in response. Gia placed a gentle hand against Wraith's cheek. "Smile for me some more. You've got a beautiful smile." she said and then got up and walked away.
"You don't think Wraith's into Gia too, do you?" Elliott asked the group as they all watched the exchange happen between said women. His eyes followed Gia for a moment as she walked away and then focused on the other. Even though Wraith looked away from the room, he could see her blushing furiously. And she tentatively placed a hand against the same cheek Gia did. Oh, she definitely had it bad for her.
"I wouldn't be surprised. I've caught her staring at my ass on more than one occasion." Loba snorted.
"Gia and Wraith aren't seeing each other already, are they?" Crypto asked everyone as if they had any more answers on her love life than he did. As predicted, everyone else shrugged or didn't answer at all. Elliott went back to watching Wraith's behavior. Everything that just happened in the last 10 seconds told him that Wraith hadn't expected Gia to show her that type of affection. If she's blushing that bad from a single touch, then that means Wraith is crushing real hard. She didn't act like that was a normal occurrence between the two of them. As if she could read Elliot's mind, Wraith turned her attention to the group of five that had been watching her. Elliott waved his hand over to her, silently telling her to join them. Wraith did a double take, making sure he was in fact motioning to her and when she realized he was, she made her way over to them.
"Aye, you into Gia?" Silva got right to the point and put Wraith on the spot. She sputtered.
"What? No. What makes you think that?"
"You do not have to lie." Bloodhound calmed her. "She is the reason we're all here." he motioned to the group.
"She's just a friend!" Wraith was quick to defend. "I mean she's pretty and all but nothing would ever be between us."
"So you admit you're into her." Loba accused and Wraith went silent. She blushed again.
"I mean, she's nice. And pretty. And she smells good. But so what."
"Listen, no one's poking fun at you. We all like her." Elliott came to her rescue.
"Yeah and we've got a competition going to see who she likes more!" said Silva.
"Why?"
"Because it's fun! And because we can hit on her without pressuring her to return the favor."
"So she knows you've all placed bets on her?" Wraith assumed questionably making the others stiffen and look to each other.
"Well." Crypto started. "She doesn't know about the competition but she knows we all are attracted to her."
"Isn't that kind of, I don't know, scummy?"
"We're not placing actual bets on her." Loba defended.
"Yeah it's just all bragging rights at the end of the day if one of us wins her over." said Elliott casually.
"Aye, you can get in on this if you want, chica, but we're all just having fun."
Wraith hesitated for a moment to think it over. This was scummy, right? Holding Gia as a prize? Surely she wouldn't appreciate it. But then Wraith looked over to Gia sitting with Che and Anita and noticed how beautiful she looked when she had her hair down. Wraith quickly touched her cheek again.
"What are the rules to this... competition?"
"None really. Try to woo her and, if you do, congrats. You won." said Elliot.
"So, are you in or are you out?" Crypto questioned.
"I'm in."
To say Gia was leading the pack was a bit of an understatement. Everywhere she went, her little lovesick posse was not too far behind. And it seemed to be growing by the day. Given that there were now six of them, it was more likely she was paired up with at least one of them during the Games. And when they were paired up together, it was very obvious they were trying to impress her. If she was ever downed, Wraith would stop whatever she's doing to portal her to safety even if she herself wasn't in a safe position. If she was out of ammo, Elliott dropped several stacks of whatever she needed even if he needed it himself. If she gave an order, Silva would absolutely follow it even if he had already jump padded a mile away. If she wanted the Peacekeeper, Loba would steal it for her. If Crypto found a high-level shield, he'd let her have it. If the team got split, Bloodhound would always follow her in case she ran into another team. And if their third got pinned, well Bloodhound wasn't leaving Gia's side.
Everyone else was starting to notice it more and more and they'd approach her about it. "It doesn't bother me." she'd say. And maybe it truly doesn't. Maybe she likes the constant attention she gets from the lovesick six. It certainly didn't hinder her performance in the arena. However it was becoming a bit annoying not being able to spend much time with anyone else without the group being a hare's breath away. But still she played along, laughed at their jokes, swooned over their flirtatious remarks, cheered them on as they showed off.
The Games continued nonetheless and even more Legends showed up; first there was weapons-expert Ramya Parekh, and then there was scientist Mary Somers, and with Dr. Somers came a new arena. Both of whom were very quick to pick up on the weird dynamic between Gia and six of the other Legends. "They're quite infatuated with you, darling." Dr. Somers had commented on day one of her being there. "Eh, they're all a bit weird." Ramya said nonchalantly.
Also Revenant and Elliott got to take over the games for awhile -again. Everyone hated when Revenant got control of the Games and this time around he's decided to switch it up a little bit. Elliott, on the other hand, took the opportunity to impress Gia. "Look at me! I'm so good they wanted to bring me back! The fans love me!" he said. His pride was short lived because the Apex hosts gave the fans quite the show when new events dropped and Elliott, Silva, Wraith, Bloodhound, and Loba all got makeovers -among other Legends, Gia included. All of them took their new looks on stage in an attempt to make Gia swoon. And as good as they all looked, Gia barely had the time of day to compliment them because Apex was whisking her away left and right to show off her new look. The fans loved her and demanded her attention. There was even a huge party for all of the Legends and multiple press corporations to advertise the new events. It was all just so overwhelming. Gia hated being center stage and the constant swarms of people drained her energy rather quickly. Her only reprieve was when one of her six admirers took all of the attention away from her as they did some sort of stunt to make her smile. It was mostly Silva donning his Octane ego that got the press's attention because who doesn't love to watch a daredevil jump out of the window? Nevertheless, she appreciated the breath of fresh air when the cameras weren't on her. She took the opportunity to hide away near the buffet table.
"Ya doing alright?" Che had asked from beside her, grabbing food for herself.
"I'm fine. Just need a break from all of this."
"Still not used to being a fan favorite, are ya?"
"I'm surprised I'm a favorite at all, to be honest. I know a lot of people like to go for the shiny, new toy but I'm no longer shiny or new. Ramya and Dr. Somers should be getting all of the attention."
"Are ya kidding me? Ya one of the best there is! Ya win more games than ya lose. Of course ya a favorite!" Che attempted to cheer her up.
"You win a lot of games too, but it seems like everyone wants to surround me."
"Well, I have been here longer than ya have. Give it time and they'll move on. They like ya because ya don't tell them anything. It keeps them interested."
"I'm sure you're right. But for now I just need a breather. I'll catch you later, Che." Gia bid farewell and walked off into the shadows, away from prying eyes and camera flashes. The combat medic made her way back to the center of the press where Elliott and Silva were waiting to talk to her with concerned looks in their eyes.
"Is Gia alright?" Elliott questioned her, making a move to go follow the object of his desires. Che put a hand against his chest to stop him.
"She don't wanna be bothered right now. She wants to be alone. So leave her alone."
"Is she hurt or something?" Silva asked worriedly.
"Nah, she just needs some fresh air. But she made it very clear she didn't want anyone to accompany her. So make sure ya tell the others to leave her be tonight."
"Can you at least tell us where's she's going in case she need someone."
"If she wants ya, she'll let ya know." was Che's response and then she walked away, hoping those idiots wouldn't bother Gia. She had to give the dopey idiots some credit though because all six of them never left the party. Despite their infatuation with the white-eyed Legend, they respected her privacy and gave her space when she asked for it. The press took notice of Gia's absence and tried to dig into everyone else for her whereabouts but no one relented and the press was forced to focus on the remaining Legends at the party.
Once the whole shebang was over and the press had made their leave, the six were becoming slightly worried at Gia's continued AWOL. She hadn't talked to anyone since she told Che she was leaving. No messages or calls. Nothing. Surely she was fine, though. Gia could absolutely hold her own if god forbid something were to happen, so the Legends weren't worried about finding her all beaten up on the Docks. But they were worried that something was still wrong and didn't feel comfortable letting her be alone for this long. It's been hours since anyone has seen her.
"I'm gonna go look for her." Elliott finally said. He was obviously agitated in his boots. The others weren't looking so hot either and they all agreed to split up and look for her. Problem was, there were far too many places she could possibly be and she hadn't answered anyone's messages so there wasn't even a general location they could pinpoint her at. They all checked her place in the compound housing the Legends, they checked all over Olympus, they checked Malta. They checked everywhere they could think of, but there was no sign of her and now they were well into the wee hours of the morning. Everyone was seriously starting to worry.
There was one final place Elliott could think of where she might possibly be, so he ran there as fast as he could to check. If she wasn't there, then he was starting to think he'd need to put a missing person's report on her. Surely Apex would find her quickly; they can't let one of their best fighters disappear. Especially not after a night of reporters fawning over her. Elliott charged towards the dropship housed at the very edge of Olympus. Getting through the security was rather easy, simply because the security had been disabled which was a relatively good sign in Elliott's eyes. She had to be here. None of the Apex crew were working at this time, as far as he was concerned. He let himself aboard the aircraft and he nearly collapsed onto the floor when he did.
Holy fucking shit, Gia was here. And she was with Revenant. And she was very clearly naked! Both of them were asleep -or, well, she was asleep and he was shut down, Elliott guessed. Did the robot sleep at all? They were laying all cuddled up to each other on one of the many plush seating areas with a blanket wrapped loosely around them. Gia's entire upper half was exposed to the warm air of the ship, but her dignity was covered just enough by the fact that she had her chest pressed up against Revenant's. The simulacrum kept a metal arm laying over her as they both slept, almost as if he was protecting her. She stirred lightly in her sleep and he responded by pulling her closer. Yet neither one of them woke up.
Elliott wasn't sure if he could scream, cry, runaway, or do all three. He wasn't gonna lie, his heart broke knowing that she would choose a robot over him. Even if his flirts were nothing more than a game, the fact that he was beat by a fucking robot of all things stung. Why didn't she say anything? Probably because no one would have believed her. I mean, Revenant of all people? That thing hated everyone and everything. And he's been known to threaten her on occasion. Was it all part of a rouse to keep people from guessing? Did the simulacrum have some sort of reputation to uphold? Or was this some sort of spontaneous thing? Either way, Elliott had a hard time picking his jaw up off the floor.
He managed to sneak out of the ship without waking either one of them and he exited the hangar. What was he supposed to tell the others? He didn't even know how to comprehend it himself! But he had to say something. Everyone else was still out looking for her. He managed to message everyone else but his words were short. "I found her. She's alright. Everyone stop worrying." he told them. Any responses he got back from them were ignored as he tried to calm his racing mind while he made his way back to his place.
This has been one hell of a night.
Elliott called an emergency meeting with the others the next afternoon once everyone was able to catch some well-needed sleep. Both Gia and Revenant had reappeared some time in the early morning, though no one was able to catch them together. Her usual chipper mood didn't do anything to quell Elliot's confused thoughts and he had half a mind to just probe her for answers to the questions he wasn't sure he wanted to even ask. What was he supposed to ask her? "How long have you been fucking Revenant? Were you ever gonna tell us or were you trying to toy with us? Does he even have a dick?" He wasn't hurt by the fact that she was seeing someone. Elliott knew she wasn't interested in any of the six of them. She made it very clear her no actually meant no. But Revenant?!
"What's so important you needed to gather all of us?" Crypto had asked. Elliott was tongue-tied. He just had to rip it off like a band-aid, right? That's what they all say, right?
"We need to call the competition off. Leave Gia alone." he managed to say.
"What? Why?" Wraith questioned with genuine confusion.
"She's seeing someone."
"How do you know?" Silva asked.
"I found them together last night."
"Are you sure?" Bloodhound asked and Elliott nodded.
"Very sure."
"Who is it? Another Legend?" Loba wondered. All eyes were on Elliott, waiting for him to spill the beans. Who could've possibly stolen Gia's heart? No one ever saw anyone else fawning over her and no one ever saw her eyes lingering for too long on a certain someone. She treated everyone the same. Perhaps it wasn't another Legend. Did she have a lover that came to surprise her at the party? Did a husband or wife come to cheer her on in the new events?
"It's... It's Revenant, okay!" he spat out and quite literally everyone else had gasped in surprise.
"Are you trying to make some sort of sick joke? Because if you are, I will throttle you!" Loba threatened.
"I'm serious! I found them together last night and she was very clearly naked in his arms."
"I don't believe it!" cried Wraith. There is no way someone as sweet as Gia would ever find companionship in someone like Revenant. It just couldn't be possible.
"Believe what you want but I'm backing out of this dumb competition! I don't want Revenant to snap my neck!" shouted Elliott and he threw his hands up in defeat. With a heavy sigh, he dropped his head to the table in a loud thump. A look of understanding passed from Legend to Legend. Everyone knew Revenant's behavior. He was cold and he was unforgiving. If what Elliott claimed was true, then there's no telling what the simulacrum would do to them if he found out they were all trying to get into her pants.
"What do we say to Gia? She'll know something's up." Silva asked aloud to the group.
"You don't have to say anything." that god damn voice said, making everyone jump in their seat and whip their heads around to peer at Gia timidly idling in the doorway. Her white eyes were glossed over in pity, and that hurt all the more.
"Were you standing there the whole time?" Elliott asked her.
"I heard shouting. I came at the part where you said you found us together last night."
"Oh." was all he said back.
"Listen, guys," she started, moving into the room and closer to them. "I know how much fun you guys were having with this competition thing going on between all of you. And I'm sorry this was how you found out about me and Revenant."
"Have you been seeing him this whole time?" Loba almost seethed.
"Yes." she flat out said. No beating around the bush. "I promise I'm not dating him to spite you, Loba. I started dating him long before I even knew of your history with him. I didn't do this to hurt you. And I'm sorry if it does hurt you." she apologized.
"No one's hurt that you're seeing him." claimed Silva.
"Speak for yourself!" Loba interrupted.
"We're just confused is all, chica."
"Loba, truly I'm very sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry to all of you. I'm sorry if I ever lead any of you on, but I honestly thought I had made it very clear that this was just a game."
"You did. We heard you loud and clear, hermosa. We were just trying to have a little fun with you."
"I know. And I'm sorry if this put a stop to your competition. Believe me when I say I enjoyed the attention. I truly did not intend for any of you to get hurt or upset. If it's Revenant you're hesitant of, I can give you my absolute word he will not harm any of you."
"I guess I just want to know how it happened." said Wraith. Gia attempted a jovial smile in her direction.
"There's so much to me you guys don't even know. So much that even Revenant doesn't know. I know it may seem strange but I promise you that he and I are not very different."
"Does he even.... um.. have a... you know?" Elliott then hesitantly questioned much to everyone else's embarrassment. They all shouted at him in distaste. "Oh come on! I know I'm not the only one who's curious!" he defended himself. Gia took in a deep, shuttering breath.
"Well... um... yes, he does."
"That's just weird. That is so weird." shuttered Silva. "Dios mío, eso es asqueroso. Can we please talk about something else?" he mumbled into his palms.
"Look, to make a long story short, all I can say is I'm sorry. From the absolute bottom of my heart, I am sorry. Regardless of where we all go from here, I just want you to know that you've all made me feel pretty, you've made me feel important, and you've made me feel loved. And I can't ever thank you enough for that. I just hope you all understand that I truly do love you too. Even if it's not the same way that you love me. I truly do love you."
"As long as you're happy." Crypto replied to her. As sad as he was to say it, he meant it for her.
"I am. I really am."
"I guess that's the end of that. It's been a good game, guys." Elliott directed towards the other five. "We're just not what you're looking for, I guess."
"But you're what someone is looking for." she consoled. "Elliot, you are the most handsome man I have ever met in my entire life." Gia confessed to him. To solidify her statement, she pressed a warm kiss to his cheek. Then she turned to the green-haired man beside him. "Silva, my life would be so incredibly boring without you in it." and she pressed a kiss to his cheek as well. "Loba, next time you see me in the arena, I want you to just step on me with those boots." she giggled and kissed her cheek as well. Despite Loba's best efforts, she cracked a real smile. "Bloodhound, you're an incredibly skilled hunter and I wish I could match up to you." Gia tentatively lifted her hands towards his face, waiting to see if he'd stop her from removing his face mask. He didn't. So she lifted the material from his face and pressed a kiss to his cheek as well before putting it back in place. "Crypto, don't ever let anyone underestimate you." a kiss to his cheek. "And of course, Wraith. I meant what I said before; you have a beautiful smile. Show it off some more." a kiss to her cheek. "I love you guys. And I hope you don't think any less of me."
"Of course not." said Bloodhound which made Gia's heart flutter with glee. She bid a final farewell to all of them before making her departure, still unsure if they have forgiven her for her secrets. The room fell quiet for several moments as they all processed what just happened. In the blink of an eye, everything just crumbled. No one was angry. They all still loved Gia. But now things were a little different. The competition was officially off the table now and the six Legends were unsure of where to go from here.
"She totally loves me more." Silva cracked the silence.
"Are you kidding? She kissed me first!"
"She kissed me longer." claimed Bloodhound. And then a full blown argument started between all of them over who Gia had more affection for.
Everything sort of calmed down after Gia had finally come clean. The six Legends that had been following her for months had backed off and everyone took notice of it. Che asked Gia what had happened between all of them and Gia had confessed that she had been seeing someone behind everyone's back. Though she didn't name names. Che wanted details of course but didn't press when Gia refused to give them. Even Pathfinder could sense that there was some tension in the room but, bless his heart, he had no idea how to make everyone feel better. He tried though. "Everything will be okay, friend." he told her and then gave her one of his famous high fives.
It's not like Gia didn't try to mend things with them. She still tried to talk to them but conversations became awkward because no one knew what to say anymore. All the flirting stopped and everyone was too scared to sit too close to her in fear of Revenant's wrath. But she did try. It's just that her efforts went nowhere.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Gia and Revenant were seen together out in public for the very first time. They officially outed themselves as a couple. Everyone was just minding their own business when Gia had appeared, dragging Revenant behind her with her hand interlaced in his. She pulled him into everyone's view and everyone turned to stare at them with wide eyes. She paid them no mind, but Revenant glared at anyone he connected eyes with. She pulled him down to sit with her and he did without complaint. She cuddled into his side and he tossed an arm across her shoulders, allowing her to get as close as possible. Everyone was watching, but it was Elliott, Silva, Loba, Crypto, Bloodhound, and Wraith that seemed to be the most in shock. What had finally changed her mind about keeping their relationship quiet, they didn't know. Everyone was just as confused as they were and those who were aware of the six's admiration for Gia all turned towards them in either pity or curiosity. Yet no one said a word. It felt like all eyes were burning into them. But thank god they all turned away at some point.
Gia proceeded to show Revenant something on her device and they both watched intently. He even scooted her into his lap so he could place his chin on her shoulder and watch. His arms wrapped around her midsection protectively and she cracked a smile. She looked so tiny in his lap.
"I can't watch this." Loba said and stormed off. She still hadn't come to terms with the fact that the woman she desired was in love with the demon she wanted to murder.
"Does anyone else feel nauseous or is it just me?" Wraith asked, turning away from the loving couple.
"No, I feel it too." Elliott confessed.
"Aye."
"It may hurt now, but she is a grown woman who has made her decision and we must respect that. We'll get over it eventually." Bloodhound told the group.
"Just because we respect it doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt, compadre." retorted Silva.
"You think they'll stay together?" Crypto then asked and everyone looked back to Gia still cuddled in Revenant's metallic lap. Elliott watched carefully as every twitch of Revenant's fingers only seemed to hold her closer to his chest. His touched appeared to be gentle and Gia had made herself comfortable in his embrace. She smiled at her device and carefully ran her fingertips along the build of his arms. He must've made some sort of noise because she nudged her cheek against his metal face plating. When he turned to look at her, she looked back and pressed her forehead to his. They both closed their eyes and Elliott assumed that was their version of a kiss considering he didn't have any lips -or even a moveable jaw for that matter. And Elliott could tell that she was genuinely happy.
"Yeah. I think so."

Hey cheese I have another oc x apex character for you (type 2)!!!! Platonic this time
Not related to the other anon but big thanks to them bc if they never sent theirs in i wouldn’t be sending this one in
My oc is still in the works but I definitely know that she would have a funny dynamic with rampart and mirage. If you think another legend might suit her better tho you can totally write about them instead!!! I’m open to literally anything. My characters design is actually inspired from the girl in mirages concept piece :) she shuts him down before he could even get a sentence out but she thought it was funny and still teases him for it
Falcon (legend name) has been in the games since they first started up. She has these big mechanic wings that mostly serve as a shield for nearby teammates. As a child she was raised in a military focused house and learned everything she knows now because of her uncle and a few of his friends. He was a big shot in the military so she’s been surrounded by people like that all of her life. It could get lonely for her sometimes though
She’s kind of close with everyone in the games?? Shes like that big sister figure. Whenever a new legend shows up she wants to be as welcoming as possible without being too clingy or pushy. She’ll definitely tease them and clown on them if they do something stupid tho but all in good fun!!! She knows her limits. She sees some of them as family since she didn’t really have a lot of that growing up
In calmer situations she is generally on the warmer side. She doesn’t like to be out when she doesn’t have to be but if the legends are planning on doing something she’ll totally want to get in on it. Being alone isn’t something she enjoys so she tries to be at every gathering if she can. When she’s out she can be very mellow but if someone challenges her to something she can get super competitive. She is a very determined person and won’t stop challenging the person she lost to.
In battle she can be a completely different person though!! Her competitive spark is still there and she still wants to be approachable but during tense situations her attitude can shift into a more serious one. She can be a little bossy but if it goes to an extreme she can catch it and ease up. If the situation calls for it she might try to lighten the mood but that almost never happens if no one speaks up first
Okok that’s it!!! Again she’s new so I’m sorry if she seems a bit flat rn. If you have any notes on her I’d love to hear them!!! You’re such an amazing writer and I’m so excited to see what you’ll do with her. Have a good day/night!!!
[since you let me know that Falcon has a fun dynamic with these two already, that’s who I wrote it with! - cheesy]
Your platonic match up is with Mirage and Rampart (and a bit of Bangalore thrown in the mix)!
Bangalore always reminds Falcon that she’s there if she ever needs to talk about her uncle. Losing family is hard, but losing them while they’re part of the military is harder. Bangalore knows this.
Falcon will often bring up her and Mirage’s first meeting, whenever he’s building his ego up. Mirage always gets flustered about it, and pretends like it never happened
When Rampart joined the games, Falcon’s big sister instincts rolled in, and she introduced herself to the newest Legend. Rampart was friendly too, but she was also the kind of person who didn’t need someone to dote on her. So it annoyed her at first. But after Falcon got more comfortable, and began to tease and clown her, Rampart felt a lot better. That’s her element. She trash talks like no tomorrow! And she’s glad she doesn’t have to tone it down. In fact, she enjoys the little things Falcon throws at her. Then she gets to throw one back.
Rampart and Falcon also have a lot of little competitions between each other. Sometimes it can get in the way of the Games, but it’s all for fun and games. There’s even a score board on the jumpship with whoever is winning at what competition. Though things can get heavy sometimes, the competitions are what the two look forward to the most.
He may be the 3rd sexiest man on Solace, and have the most fans but... Mirage can get lonely sometimes. Having the adoration of so many people in the Outlands also means no one wants to approach him. So though he won’t admit it, whenever you tag along with whatever he’s doing, even if it’s bothering other Legends, he’s glad someone is hanging out with him.
During actual Games, some Legends tend to turn to Falcon to be the leader of their duo or trio. Her knack for being bossy helps, but also the fact that she can shift gears when she needs to.

@askiceboundlopunny
Linda@Miyako: The dragoness wears a smirk as she approaches the legendary hybrid. “It seems a normal lopunny is difficult to find these days. You’re the third one in a row that I’ve seen with something to set them apart from your kind. But if someone told me that there was one of you out there that had THE dragon of ideals in their blood, I would have called them crazy. And yet here you are.” She stated as she tried her best to mask the excitement in her tone. 
Her tails swayed back and forth behind as she placed a hand on her hip. “Now I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care to see just how much of their power you inherited for myself, since I’ve always dreamed of a fight with zekrom since I was a kid. But I can wait for that until after I hear how you ended up with it. Was it something you were born with, did you earn it through a test, or something else?”
She leans in a little with an eager look in her eyes. “Of course if you want to just have a spar instead I’d be more than fine with that too.”
[PoV: Miyako]
And here I was thinking that I’d have to go out of my way to talk to someone, but it turns out that someone seems to be taking the initiative. When I turn to address the source of the voice, I realize that I need to look up in order to even match the gaze of the person.
Wow… She’s…really tall…
She asks about the frequency of Lopunny hybrids, but here’s the REAL question: What is with Mienshao hybrids being so ridiculously tall?!
I thought Nynette was pretty big, but this girl here looks to be taller than her by a good couple of inches. This is definitely something I need to tell Nynette when I get back, since I can only imagine the surprised look on her face when she learns that she’s not the tallest of her species anymore~ 
...Not that I can NOT tell her, since…it’s impossible to hide information from her to begin with.
Sure Yinomi can always detect lies, but you can simply just not speak when around her. Nynette? She has Yinomi beat since that Mienshao can literally just rip the information from your mind. I suppress a shudder and focus back on the current Mienshao before me.
As she continues to speak, a grin widens on my face. “You got that right!” I exclaim with a laugh when she mentions about me having the blood of Zekrom in my veins. I couldn’t help but puff my chest, feeling pride swelling within me.
When she asks me a question soon followed with a challenge to spar, my red eyes glitter with excitement. The opportunity to fight? Sign me the hell up, it’s a rarity that I ever get to find someone who’s wanting to have a throw-down! Usually I have to force my ‘sisters’ to fight me!
Just as I’m about to accept her offer, I remember the reason on why I’m actually here. It…wouldn’t be a good idea to participate in any fights - even if they’re a friendly spar. I don’t think Iniko or Zenoclio would be very happy about it…
Yinomi wouldn’t be happy either, but I don’t give a fuck about her opinions. It’s the others that I’m worried about.
Visibly deflating, I let out a sigh and rub the back of my head. “Any other time I would’ve accepted that offer to spar in a heartbeat. I don’t believe my ‘sisters’ would be very happy if I were to start fighting with the locals, even if it’s consensual.”
As for her question? I think about it for a little while. Sure they said that there’s no actual reason to withhold information about our origins, is it really worth the risk? She’s asking about how I came to be after all…
Oh what the hell, it’s not like she can use it against us to begin with.
“For how much of Zekrom’s power I have...��� I start. “I have most of it? All of it?” I scratch my head in thought before ultimately shrugging. “There’s not really any other Zekrom of decent caliber that I can make a comparison, but seeing how strong I am? I’d like to think that my power is one-for-one~”
“Now, in terms of how I became part Zekrom? I continue, unable to contain my laughter. “To be blunt, this isn’t really common knowledge. Then again it’s not a secret we’re keeping either, but more on the fact that it’s lost knowledge - lost to history, that is.”
I look at my clawed fingers, the black talons causing arcs of blue electricity to dance between them as they touch together. “I wasn’t born as a hybrid. I was just a standard Lopunny, having two standard Lopunny parents. Nothing really special about me if I’ll be honest.” I look back up at the purple Mienshao. “I actually was transformed into what I am now after discovering Zekrom’s Power. It infused itself into my being, transforming me into something that can properly bear its power.” I gesture to my entire self. “As you can see quite plainly, making me part Zekrom is the solution.”
I pause, realizing I should probably further elaborate since this might give her the wrong idea. “...Not that I was actively looking, I had no idea what I discovered when I first ran into it.” I continue before pausing again, recalling details that I haven’t had a need to recall in a…long while. “Well, I guess that’s kinda wrong too. I guess that I should say that I was…drawn to it without my knowing?”
Hmm, I guess memories can be rather hazy when you haven’t thought on them for a while. Not to mention it HAS been a long…long time ago since that fateful event…
“Sorry, trying to sort thing out.” I sigh again, shaking my head before crossing my arms. “To summarize: it chose me. It pretty much subconsciously guided me to it, and transformed me into what I am now. Went from your run-of-the-mill Lopunny into the rabbit who bears the power of the Dragon of Ideals~!” I grin widely at her, trying my best not to come off as TOO proud of my circumstance.
Well, I am kinda proud of it…
“’Course, I’m not the only one who’s part Legendary.” I say somewhat absentmindedly, scratching my cheek. “My other ‘sisters’ became a hybrid the same way, where they were chosen to become bearers of the power of their respective Legendaries.” I give a nod. “And that’s pretty much it on that matter.”
Now that I’m done answering, I decide to inhale strongly through my nose. The scent of the Mienshao filling my nostrils, answering one question about her that I was kinda bothering me.
I couldn’t help but offer a fanged grin. “…Gotta say... Ignoring the fact that the whole power thing needs to choose you, you most definitely don’t need it. I can already tell that you’re extremely formidable as you are~”
I start walking in circles around her, using my hands to occasionally lift her ribbons or tail to get a proper look at her body. “Quite obvious that you got dragon blood in you, I can smell it~” I purr. “Strong body, potent power, honed killer’s instinct…” To say that I’m impressed would be an understatement. “Girl, just by looking at you? I can tell that you’re an apex predator wherever you go~”
Man, I really really REALLY want to fight her. People in the outside world are rarely this strong - with the exception of the really powerful Dragons and stuff. I can only imagine how much fun I’d have…
I stop right in front of her, ending my somewhat personal inspection. “You know? I really like you!” I laugh. “Sure you being really strong and part-Dragon does contribute to it, but you wanna know the biggest factor?” I tap the side of my head, my grin growing wider. “It’s because you’re really idealistic~ Yet that’s not all! Not only do you got big goals and dreams, but I can tell that you’re making those dreams a reality, seeing how I can practically smell the power radiating from you!” The more I speak, the more fired up I become. “You say that you dreamed of fighting against Zekrom when you’re little? The mere concept of fighting a Legendary is something that others rarely think of. Hell, even those born in power would almost never entertain the idea of going against one.”
Maybe... Just maybe...it wouldn’t hurt to have one teensy, weensy little spar…? I mean, it shouldn’t be THAT big of an issue, right…?
No! Bad Miyako! You have a mission to focus on! Fighting can come AFTER you’re done!
...
It wouldn’t really hurt if it lasted for like a minute or so…right...?
I shake my head, trying my best to rid myself of those tempting thoughts. If I caved in now, I definitely would get chewed out by the others.
With my head at least partially clear, I remember something that kinda flew passed me. That specific thing would be called introductions.
I look at her sheepishly. “So... You got a name?” I rub the back of my head again. "...Even though my experience in the outside world is a bit on the limited side, I know for a fact that meeting someone like you is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Well, not that it really applies to me to begin with. “So not knowing your name would really suck.”
I jab a clawed thumb at myself. “If you want mine, you can call me Miyako! Miyo also works, since that’s what my friends refer to me as~”
Well, more like that’s what my ‘sisters’ call me, but that’s besides the point. This girl? She’s already my friend, and she has absolutely no say in this.

Charming | An AdamsFoster Fic
Fandom: The Fosters/AdamsFoster Rating: M Summary: Stef and Lena’s lazy morning heats up when Stef wants to try something new.
A/N: Prompt #2 from this list of kiss prompts: “lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up” A/N: I owe a HUGE thank you to @momqueer for helping get this fic on its feet. An offer to cowrite turned into me just taking the whole thing over but they totally jumpstarted my inspiration for this when I was completely stuck. There’s even a couple lines that they wrote still in here because they were lovely and perfectly suited for the story. Thanks for helping me out and being the most awesome! 💖
A/N: This one really got away from me. It was supposed to just be a nice romantic morning but Stef gave Lena one nice compliment (okay, two) and all bets were off. We ran head first into smut and it was all Lena’s doing. I had no say in the matter. And just for fun, we threw in some character growth because why the heck not? Anyway, enjoy.
---------------
Sunlight, pastel and warm, painted Lena’s face. It draped along the curve of her shoulder and across her bare chest. Flat on her back, her legs were splayed out, encroaching on Stef’s side of the bed.  Her arm rested over her head, her face turned, buried in a cloud of curly black hair. Her mouth was relaxed into a gentle pout so serene and inviting that, as Stef watched her, it was all she could do to resist it. Stef had always marveled at the way her wife looked when she slept. With her usual polish and poise stripped away, her natural grace morphed into something soft yet just a little wild. 
She watched her in awe, playing with the end of a single curl until her eyelashes, glowing like tiny gold flames in the sun, flickered. Her eyelids twitched and fluttered open then snapped back shut, her furrowed eyebrows accompanied by a groan of protest. 
Stef chuckled as she leaned down and brushed the faintest kiss over Lena’s pouting lips. 
“Good morning,” she said, her voice hushed and gentle. 
“Mhmm,” Lena croaked back. Her bleary eyes squinted up at Stef’s face. 
Neither of them was quite used to these kinds of mornings yet. No morning rush, no alarms, no kids. Since Jude had left for college, though, they happened more and more often. Almost every weekend, and Stef was beginning to wonder how she’d ever lived without this early morning peace. 
She sat back up but Lena grunted her objection and fumbled trying to grab her arm so Stef leaned back down and kissed her again, this time eliciting a contented sigh. 
When she pulled back, Lena arched her back in a full-body stretch, the blanket sliding down around her ribs before she relaxed back down into the mattress. She sucked the roof of her mouth and cleared her throat and Stef watched her with an expression full of affection and wonder. 
“What?” Lena asked, eyebrows arched high to help keep her eyelids open. 
“Nothing.” Stef smiled down into her dark, sleep-heavy eyes. “I was just thinking...” She plucked at a curl by Lena’s temple. “I think you are your most beautiful just like this. No makeup, no jewelry, wearing nothing but the early morning sun.” She swept an appreciative gaze down over Lena’s body before settling on her eyes again. “You, my love, are perfection.” She brushed the curl away from her face, then drew her hand down her neck and across her sun-kissed shoulder. 
A sleepy smile curved Lena’s lips. “You know, you’re very charming when you want to be.”
“Am I?” 
“Mhmm.”
“Well, I’d ask if I charmed your pants off but you’re not wearing any.” Smirking, she settled down on her side facing her wife. 
Lena laughed. “You know what? I changed my mind.”
“Oh, come on! One crude joke and I lose all my charm?”
Shaking her head, still laughing, Lena rolled over onto her side and propped her head up on her hand. “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what did you mean, hmm?” Tipping her chin up, Stef regarded her from beneath raised eyebrows, a twinkle of amusement in her eyes. 
“You’re not charming when you want to be. You’re funny when you want to be. And silly. Sweet. But you’re charming when you’re not trying to be. You just say whatever’s on your mind in a way that is so genuine and so honest that I have no choice but to believe you.”
A blush bloomed in Stef’s cheeks as she considered her wife’s observation. After a moment, she shrugged her shoulder. “What can I say? You deserve to know how often I’m completely blown away by how incredible you are.” She traced her fingers down Lena’s side, pushing beneath the edge of the blanket toward her hip. Lena’s eyes dropped down for a moment as she bit back a smile. “Besides. I have to make up for all the times my big mouth gets me in trouble.” She winked at her and grinned. 
There was a moment of silence, weighty and pulsing, when Lena’s gaze slid down to her mouth and Stef felt the shift before she even saw her eyes darken. Her heartbeat quickened as Lena leaned over and captured her lips in a slow, deep kiss. Her fingers grazed over Stef’s ribs and down her bare stomach. “I’d like to see just how much trouble that mouth can get into,” Lena said, her throaty suggestion sending a delicious jolt down Stef’s spine.
“Oh, sweetheart,” Stef grinned up at her. “You know how much I love a challenge.” She pulled Lena in to kiss her again while laying back at her urging. The blanket slipped down off of Lena’s hips as she leaned over her and Stef took full advantage, sliding a hand down her back to grab her ass, still kissing her perfect lips.
As they kissed and their hands wandered, finding delightful little spots to tease and play, Stef marveled at being able to go from early morning tenderness to sex without having to rush to keep from being interrupted. It was exhilarating to be able to just follow their own whims and desires because for the first time in their almost twenty years together, they could have sex when they wanted, where they wanted, and how they wanted. And she certainly knew how she wanted to right now. 
Lena began making her way down Stef’s body, kissing between her breasts and across her stomach, heading toward the apex of her legs when Stef stopped her. 
“Move over a little bit,” she told her. 
“Why?” Lena asked, though she did as she was told, scooting toward the middle of bed. 
“Because we need more room.” 
“For what?” She looked at Stef with an eyebrow raised. 
Stef sat up and slid over next to Lena, cupping her jaw and kissing her way up the side of her neck. “You wanted to see what my mouth could do, didn’t you?”
Lena nodded, excited curiosity dancing in her eyes. Stef kissed her with an easy passion, unhurried but brimming with desire, then laid back down and shuffled a bit lower.
“Then come sit down and find out.” A cocky grin tilted her mouth to one side.  
Lena’s jaw went slack for a moment at her candor. Stef had to admit, it was a bit out of character for her to be so brazen. She usually preferred more subtlety, or at least to mask her desires behind the safety of a teasing joke, but it seemed the mood of the morning had emboldened her. 
When her wife continued to stare at her, Stef reached for her leg, gently tugging at her thigh. “C’mere.”
Lena’s eyes widened. “You’re serious?” She almost laughed. 
“As I’ve ever been.” Stef held her gaze steady and Lena’s cheeks darkened with enough color that Stef could actually see it, her lower lip tucked between her teeth. When she hesitated, Stef took her hand and kissed the tops of her knuckles. “Only if you want to,” she assured her.
A blushing smile crept across Lena’s face until she was all teeth and dimples and sparkling eyes, and Stef knew her answer before she nodded and said, “Okay.”
Stef held out her hand and Lena took it, bracing herself with her other hand on the headboard as she swung her leg over Stef’s head. Releasing her hand, Lena held onto the bed and lowered herself until she hovered just over Stef’s face. Stef slid her hands up the backs of her thighs, gripping them as she helped guide her the rest of the way.
When she made contact, Stef felt a wave of desire rush up from her belly, coursing through her like burning waves. She swept her tongue along the length of her and as she began exploring her from this unfamiliar angle, nothing existed but Lena - the taste of her, the smell of her, the weight of her. To be so encompassed by the woman she loved, to be granted such vulnerability by her was both beautiful and arousing in a way she couldn’t have imagined despite how much she’d always wanted to do this. 
Her knowledge of Lena’s body acted as her guide and it wasn’t long before she realized it was best to let Lena lead. She followed the pace of her hips, letting her control speed and pressure, happy to do whatever she desired. Her arms were wrapped around Lena’s thighs, her fingertips pressing into her silky brown skin when she felt Lena push her fingers into her hair.
Glancing up, she couldn’t resist the sight above her. She’d never seen her lover quite like this before, the angle odd but as breathtaking as ever. She slid one hand around her hip, up and over the little rolls of her belly toward the curved undersides of her breasts that swayed with the motion of her body. She cupped one, rubbing her thumb over her nipple until Lena moaned and threw her head back, making her neck look impossibly, irresistibly long. One hand was splayed against the headboard, elbow locked, while the fingers of her other hand tugged even harder at Stef’s short blonde hair. 
Everything was wet and warm and Stef would have been content to stay right there forever. But Lena was hurtling forward, pulling Stef along with her. Her full weight was on her now as she curled forward, the muscles in her stomach twitching with every heaving breath and rushing sigh. She dropped her head into the crook of her elbow, bringing her other hand back up, clinging to the headboard with both hands, grinding down while Stef held her rocking hips and she rode her toward the crest. Finally, her body tensed, her shaking legs clamping around Stef’s head as her panting, stuttering moans filled the room. 
Stef brought her back down gently until her body collapsed against the headboard. After a moment, she gave her a gentle push on the backs of her thighs and Lena lifted just enough for Stef to extricate herself. Kneeling behind her, she wiped her face clean as best she could before wrapping her arms around her wife’s waist. Pressing a few kisses to her shoulder blade, she drew Lena’s limp body back until they were both sitting with Lena nestled between Stef’s sturdy legs. She rested back against her, eyes closed and head tipped back onto Stef’s shoulder. 
Stef dusted kisses along the top of her shoulder and watched the rapid rise and fall of her chest. When it began to slow, Lena found Stef’s hand and ran her fingertips along the backs of her fingers before lacing her own between them. With a satisfied hum, Lena turned her face towards Stef’s, brushing her nose against her jawline. 
“So...” Stef’s voice was soft, as if trying not to disturb Lena’s current tranquility. “That was, uh...” She cleared her throat. “It was good?” 
Lena laughed against her neck. “You really have to ask?”
Stef smiled into her hair. “No, I know it was...” She paused for a moment. “I meant, you liked it? The, uh— The position...?” She could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks. It seemed her earlier bravado had abandoned her. “Is it something you’d want to, y’know, do again?”
Lena turned slightly and looked up at Stef, her face bright and her eyes playful. “Well, I’m not sure how often my knees are going to allow it but I wouldn’t mind occasionally adding it into the rotation.” She shifted onto her hip so she was facing Stef more easily. “What about you? Was it okay for you? I was worried that it might’ve been hard to breathe.” Her eyebrows raised in that way they always did when she was inviting honesty. 
Stef rolled her lips in between her teeth and wet them before nodding and clearing her throat. “I could breathe just fine.” She let out a nervous chuckle. “It was good. It was... Actually it was even better than I’d hoped it would be.”
Lena’s head tilted to one side and Stef felt her lay her hand just above her knee. “Is this something you’ve been wanting to try for a while?”
Stef tucked her chin and her eyes darted down toward her lap. “Yeah... a pretty long time.” Heat burned the tops of her ears and her mouth twitched with anxious energy. “Years, actually.”
Lena’s thumb caressed the side of Stef’s knee, her inquiring eyes seeking out her gaze. “Why are we only just doing it now?” 
Stef shrugged. “I mean, it’s not really the kind of thing you can do with kids in the house when you’re trying to get in a quickie between piano lessons, and karate, and homework.”
“Sure,” Lena agreed, her eyebrows drawing together. “But there were opportunities. Date nights, sleepovers, a few getaways without the kids... If it was something you wanted to try, why didn’t you ever ask?”
Stef watched Lena’s thumb slide back and forth against her own pale skin while searching for honesty amidst the excuses she’d always given herself. Taking Lena’s hand from her leg and holding it in her own, she looked back up at her wife with tenderness and vulnerability. 
“You know that I’ve struggled with shame about sex and about my sexuality for a long time.” Lena nodded but didn’t interrupt. “And the last couple of years, y’know, I’ve finally been able to work through a lot of those feelings, learning to accept myself and truly embrace who I am for the first time.” Lena smiled and squeezed her hand. “This was something I always felt particularly ashamed of. It made me feel wrong to desire you like that. Dirty— but, not in the fun way.” She gave a half-hearted laugh and swiped her hand through her hair. “But now, looking back, it feels... ridiculous that I let some imagined perception of us, of... of me, dictate our love life and I just...” she paused, searching Lena’s eyes and exhaling a sigh while the tension softened out of her face. “How could I ever feel ashamed of loving and wanting you when it comes more naturally to me than breathing?” 
A soft smile tugged at Lena’s mouth, her eyes crinkling a little at the corners. “There it is again.”
“What?”
“Your charm.”
Stef’s mouth twisted into a self-conscious smile as she turned her chin against one shoulder. Lena drew her fingers down her temple to cup her cheek, leaning forward to kiss her with such sweetness Stef felt it ache in her chest. 
“I’m glad you finally said something,” she said after pulling back, her hand still on Stef’s cheek. “You know you never have to feel ashamed of anything when you’re with me.”
“I know, love.” She turned her head and kissed Lena’s palm. “With you is where I’ve always felt safest.”
Taking Lena’s hand, she pulled her toward the pillows. They settled together, back under the covers with Stef’s arms wrapped around Lena’s shoulders and Lena’s head nestled beneath Stef’s chin. They both sighed and let the quiet blossom in the hazy sunlight. 
“Sometimes it feels like we’re getting a second chance at the honeymoon phase we kind of missed out on, now that we don’t have kids in the house.”
Lena hummed her agreement. “Except it’s better because we know each other so well.” 
“Yeah.” A quiet beat passed before Stef spoke again. “I’m glad we’re getting it now.”
“Me too,” Lena said, then laughed through her nose. “Though, I wouldn’t mind having my knees from fifteen years ago.”
Stef let out a bark of laughter and kissed the top of Lena’s head. “Yeah, me too.”
Lena heaved a wistful sigh. “We can’t have it all, I suppose.” 
“Speak for yourself,” Stef said and Lena picked her head up, eyebrows arched high. “I’ve got it all, right here.” She winked as she squeezed Lena’s shoulders and grinned when she pursed her lips against an enamored smile. 
“Charming.” Lena shook her head and caught her lips. She kissed her softly while they both grinned like fools, too drenched in the warmth of their enduring love to be burdened by the persistence of the rising sun.

Maria Borges and Neelam Gill by Jonas Bresnan for L’oreal Paris (picture and caption found on @/sand-snake-kate)
Pairing: Mara x Carole
The main character’s POV is unreliable
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6
Tag: SMUUUTTTT (it is my first wlw smut. Don’t be too harsh pleaseee... my virgin ass didn’t get no action from girl or boy. So my imagination is doing all the work)
“Herberta”, Mara replied, with a tone she wasn’t used anymore. The one which said, ‘you are really thick in the head, I don’t know why I’m still talking to you.’
“What is this “Herberta”?”, Carole repeated, exaggerating the ridiculous name.
“When I have insomnia, Herberta is here to help me get loose.” Mara laughed at her inside joke. “I need only a few minutes and I’m all…” Mara spread her limbs, eyes crossed, tongue out.
Carole’s brain was on overdrive. Was Mara implying what she thought she did? When Carole asked her if she had someone, she had be…wait. Carole never asked her if she was seeing or fucking anyone. Anger flared inside her belly.
“So, you have someone?”
“Yep!” Mara replied, unbeknown of Carole’s internal war.
“Why are you with me then?” Carole continued on a tone she thought was emotionless. She mentally patted her own back for acting like a grown person.
“Then, I would have no one,” she replied slowly. The “you are dumb” tone was back.
“What is Herberta? Your one-night stand?”
Mara laughed out loud. She rolled off the bed and hit the floor in a thump. Carole sighed. She counted to ten back to back to calm down.
Mara suddenly jumped to her feet and took her phone out, looking for something as she scrolled a few times. Carole was way above her level of anger/confusion. She didn’t like being out of the loop. Naked bodies and blurred faces of potential lovers passed through her mind.
Mara handed her the phone, giggling. Carole grabbed it and turned her back on Mara.
“Are you pouting?” Mara asked huskily above her.
Carole shivered and closed her eyes for a second. We take things slowly. Slow-ly. She focused back on the phone. It was a video.
At first, she couldn’t make anything out of it, and then. Oh. Her vision tunneled. Mara was butt naked on her back. Her left hand was massaging her boob and the right was teasing her entrance. Carole didn’t even try to hide her interest and analyzed every detail from the video.
“Wait, wait, Herberta is making a grand apparition in a few secs.”
Carole almost chucked the phone away from her. She didn’t want to see anyone fucking Mara, what the hell! She half closed her eyes waiting at any moment for the other woman to appear.
Mara was now writhing on the bed. Her left hand was making its way through her tummy pudge, down her lips and spread them open. She was now two fingers in, pumping slowly, glistening from all her juices. Carole could almost taste her on her tongue. Mara took out her fingers and sucked them as slowly as she did earlier. She moaned wantonly.
“There she comes,” the real Mara whispered to her ear.
The combination of naked-Mara and the voice next to her was doing wonders to her arousal. She crossed her legs and enjoyed the sweet pressure on her clitoris. Was Mara as excited as her? Had she been teasing her when she talked about going slow and not messing around?
Mara, in the video, rolled over and took a…strap? It looked familiar. Realization dawned her. It was theirs! Carole had bought one specially for their first time. Mara had been a virgin back then and still had wanted to try penetration with her. It had taken some preparation, but finally, they did it. Back then, Carole hadn’t really been into penetration, both receiving and giving. She didn’t climax from it and couldn’t see the appeal. Therefore she didn’t see the point using one on her partners. God, was she wrong. The first time they had done it, Mara had been more than pleased. Oh, yes. They even discovered a little ability of hers.
Squirting.
It had taken both of them by surprise. Mara had felt ashamed and believed she had peed on them, while Carole had been beyond shocked, pleased, and aroused. It had taken a good few hour of research to calm her down.
Carole had tried to reassure her. No, she hadn’t thought badly of Mara. No, it hasn’t been a bad thing, nor a turn off. It had taken a bit of coaxing to try penetrative sex afterwards. Carole had seen the squirting as a challenge she hadn’t been aware of. But she had won, anyway. She had been as proud as a rooster. She had made her girlfriend squirt, on her first time, and she deserved a gold medal, according to the internet.
Carole had then tried to make her squirt every time. From her tongue, fingers, cunt or strap. Whatever the position or contraption, she had succeeded. Carole prided herself to be a very thorough lover and had been praised by Mara. It had opened a door to a kinkier version of their relationship. A pleased and content Mara was a wild lioness in bed. She scratched, bit, licked and sucked as if tomorrow was never coming.
The first time it happened was the second time they used the strap. Carole had not expected Mara to jump on her after she calmed down. Mara had found the strength to pinned her down and made her way through all the sweet spots of her lover.
All of them.
Carole hasn’t even been aware she knew half of them, but she wasn’t one to complain.
This particular night ended with Carole sitting on Mara’s face. It was one of the memorable moments apart for the blurred ones, the earth-shattering orgasms and some blackouts, where she woke up in a weird position -- still not complaining -- and another orgasm leaving her on the verge of crying mercy.
A wave of heat rippled through her. Starting from her clit to her face. She closed her eyes briefly and enjoyed the forgotten feeling. She had had multiple nightstands before, but only Mara could rend her speechless and begging..
Mara, in the video, was now moaning Carole’s name as she teased her entrance with the tip of the strap. After a short huff, she pushed it in, in one slow motion. Immediately, her back arched, mouth agape.
“Well, that’s it, you’ve seen Herberta”, Mara joked, as she tried to take her phone back, but Carole slapped her hand. “Carole, give it to me.”
“Couldn’t you have just told me it was our strap?”
“Well, where was the fun if I did that?”
Carole stopped the video. She cocked her head to the side, staring at the now black screen.
“Did you squirt?”
Mara made a strangled noise.
“Wh-what?”
“In the video, did you squirt?”
“No.”
Carole hummed and raised her head.
“Was I the only one to achieve that?”
Mara was about to tell her off, Carole could tell. She knew from her fisted hands, the furrowed brows and the huffed.
“Was I the only one?” Carole repeated, firmly.
“Yes,” Mara replied through clenched teeth.
What she could also read from her posture was something Mara was trying to hide. Arousal. Oh, little birdy, you can’t play with me, she thought darkly. So much for taking our sweet time.
Carole stood up and put the phone in her drawer. She took off her robe, eyes on Mara. The poor girl didn’t even try to hide her confusion. Good. Then her bottom pajamas were off.
“You are going to take a shower? Do you want me to go?” Mara asked, nervous.
Carole ignored her questions and continued to take her nightwear off, until she stood naked in front of Mara, who was now seven shades darker and avoided her naked form. Carole walked to her luggage to retrieve a beautiful package she had been traveling with and went back to the bed. Mara was now hiding her eyes behind her hands. Carole almost cooed at her shyness.
She opened her box and first took her strap. It was similar to “Herberta” in all but the color. This one was more of a natural pale skin tone, which complimented her skin tone. She slowly stroked her cock enjoying the skin texture and approached Mara.
“You can open your eyes.”
It took Mara a second to notice the strap. When she saw it, her eyes widened comically, and she tried to escape. So predictable. Carole didn’t waste no time. She knew Mara pretty damn well. She liked being chased.
Carole caught her legs and pulled them toward her. Mara screeched her name and tried to free herself. Carole spread her legs open, revealing a beautiful lacy thong under her flowery dress. Mara tried to hide her groin with her hands, but Carole was quicker. She dived between her legs and pried them open with her own arms. Mara squirmed and begged, not so desperately, for Carole to let her go, while her body was literally submitting to her. Two could play this game.
Suddenly Carole backed away, cutting Mara’s pleads. Carole sat on her haunches, resisting the need to smell the fingers which had been in contact with her glistening cunt.
Mara didn’t even try to close her legs and peered at her quizzically and somewhat disappointed. Carole contained her smile. Barely.
“You said stop, and I stopped.” Carole said, somewhat innocent.
“Do I smell bad?” Mara asked worried. She approached her hand to her vulva but met Carole’s hand. Carole swiped her forefinger and middle finger, faintly brushing Mara’s clitoris, and brought them to her mouth. She closed her eyes and savored the sweet taste. Not exactly like she remembered. She was definitely sweeter.
There was movement on the bed. Carole took her time to open her eyes and was greeted by a heavenly sight. Mara had taken her dress off and laid naked, legs willingly opened. She was smiling nervously. Carole could tell she was two seconds from fleeing. She didn’t even have the time to observe the new tattoos decorating her glorious ebony skin. Well, that’d be for another time, she mourned, silently.
She leaned forward and kissed her thigh softly, licking her way to the apex. Mara’s soft sighs encouraged her. She felt the muscles under her lips relaxing as she moved higher. She repeated the same actions for the other leg, then nuzzled her nose on her pubic hair and inhaled deeply.
Smelled like home. Carole touched Mara lips and pried them open. The sweet sound of her slick made her thirsty for more. Let’s see how many times she could make a squirt and cum. She licked her entrance to her clit, then sucked it. Mara’s moans resonated in the room. She pressed Carole’s head deeper with no success. Carole sucked her clit, teasing the swollen bud with the tip of her tongue. She didn’t even have to think about her next move, her body was moving on its own.
Mara was now pinching her own nipples, writhing on the bed, at Carole’s mercy. Her name on her tongue in a constant plea for more.
After a last lick, Carole sat on her haunches, face wet from perspiration and Mara’s juices.
“Carole…Carole…” She moans desperately. “More…please.”
As you wish, my Astroïos.
She leaned forward and sucked two of her fingers. The slobbery sound made Mara looks up and moan louder, as she felt back, hands already gripping the sheet behind her back.
“Good girl,” Carole murmured, huskily.
She teased her entrance, watching her reaction. Instantly, Mara tried to fuck herself on the digits. Carole chuckled, amused. When Mara started to lose patience, Carole pushed her fingers in, crooking them to hit her spot.
Mara screeched. 
There were no other words. A loud wail, coming from the full capacity of her lungs, which almost made Carole jump in shock. Godly. She had never heard her like that. She hadn’t even known she was able to scream like that.
And like the ‘squirt challenge’, the ‘screech challenge’ was born. Even if she’d end up with a hearing impairment and Mara with a voice one.
She started moving her fingers first slowly and deep, then faster, as requested. Mara was, after all, a demanding little minx. Mara’s walls were almost spasming around her fingers and she knew it was the moment to get to the next part.
 She took her fingers out and sucked them quickly, before scooting forward until Mara’s leg were around her hips. She teased the tip of the strap onto her dripping vulva.
Mara stopped her. She disentangled herself, and Carole didn’t even have time to be concerned or annoyed, or both, as Mara put herself onto four, head on her pillow, hands between back, putting her soaking slit on display. She swayed her hips sensually.
Carole was behing shocked.
“Come one, Care, I feel so empty,” she complained, petulant.
“I –” She coughed. “I wish I could see you face actually.” Her voice sounded so far away. It was definitely a fantasy and she’d wake up, eyes puffy and red, alone. Mara had never been so…bossy. She huffed and puffed as she turned around, kneeling in front of Carole. She gripped her shoulders and pushed her on her back. Carole exclaimed in surprise but didn’t dare try and stop her.
Mara straddled her and bent to kiss her thoroughly. She nibbled her lower lip, making her groan in pleasure and open her mouth. Mara didn’t waste no time to tease her tongue with hers, playing softly with her twin.
“Is that good enough for you? Or you need something else?” She teased.
Carole opened her eyes dizzily and hummed. Her hands reached for her hips and gripped them tightly. The view was top notch, never seen before, 5 stars. Mara was slicking the strap with her slick, moaning quietly. 
Hm hm, that wouldn’t do. Carole was back on her mission to make her scream. As Mara was positioning herself, Carole took the base in hand. The tip grazed the entrance making Mara hissed and stop, the pleasure being too much. Carole hands back to her hips, feet firmly planted on the mattress thrusted in Mara, in a swift motion and watery sound.
Jesus.
Carole couldn’t feel anything, but she knew by the way Mara was moving that she’d be able to come by the sight only. Mara’s hands rested on Carole’s, her head leaning forward, brows furrowed, mouth opened and tongue out. Carole couldn’t resist. She raised herself, took the tantalizing tongue between her teeth, and plunged her own in her mouth. Mara fell forward, resting on her forearms. Carole could now thrust as she wanted. She didn’t have the patience to go slowly. The excitation in her veins was making her dizzy and thirsty for more.
So, she submitted to her instinct.
She thrusted sharply, jostling Mara. She didn’t let her any time to get used to the strap, that she set a brutal pace. The blabbering, screams, watery sound was a drug, she was feeding on. She thrusted again and again, feeling her legs ached from the exertion. Perspiration was covering their naked body.
Mara was curled on top of Carole moaning loudly in her ears. Sounds of flesh slapping echoing in the room. She started to feel some constriction as she entered Mara, and knew she’d come soon. She flipped them over, bending and making her hold her legs near her head, blessing whatever God that she still did yoga.
Carole plunged into Mara’s pliant body, the new position allowing her to go deeper. As Mara closed her eyes and stiffened, Carole massaging her clit thoroughly, slapping randomly the little bud. If she remembered correctly, Mara loved a little pain and it would push her over the top.
A few seconds only. It took a few seconds for her to squirt. Carole pushed out and bend to catch the rest of the fluid. As the stream diminish, she went closer to her clit and went back to work. Orgasm one. Done.
The second came rather quickly and let Mara dizzy, eyes blinking slowly and body twitching every now and then. Carole kissed her forehead before rolling over next to her and catching a bottle of energy drink. She raised her lover’s head and forced her to drink. Mara moaned as she chugged desperately the bottle.
“No funny business, heh?”
Mara flipped her off. Carole shook her head, laughing.
“You were the one to jump on me. Again.” She argued, her voice still hoarse.
“You were the one tempting me, with Herberta, or whatever.”
“It was innocent.”
Carole opened her eyes comically.
“Inno – what? You showed me a video of you masturbating, there is nothing innocent.”
“You’ve already seen me naked; you could have restrained yourself.”
The hell, with it. Carole snatched the bottle, ignoring Mara’s pleas and kissed her. 
There. Silence. 
Mara lost her smile and lead the kiss. She flipped them over and made her way to her neck, biting, licking and sucking wherever she could. One leg between hers, Mara rubber her thigh on her slit. Too little pressure, Carole deplored.
“Now, it’s my time.” Mara whispered, huskily.
Before she could reply, Mara pinched one her nipples, twisting the bud harshly, Carole whimpered and moaned. The pain added with the pleasure of her tongue around her other nipple got her dizzy. She didn’t know on what to concentrate. Mara switched nipples. She lavished on the bruised nipples and bit insensitively the sensitive area. Carole bucked against her.
She didn’t know whether to tell to stop or continue. Regardless, Mara was doing her own thing.
When she was done with her work, she massaged roughly her breasts for good measures and went lower, pampering her with soft, feathery kisses. As she approached her slit, Carole held her breath. Mara bit her lower lips prying them open with her mouth. The bursts of pain electrified her. She tensed and force her body to relax, as hot air caress the sored lips.
Carole pushed her hips toward her. Mara unclasped the strap and put it aside. She went back to the previous position.
She took her first lick. A slow, unbearable lick. Carole was restrained by Mara’s arms and couldn’t move her lower body. 
One lick became two and many more. Mara didn’t seem bothered by the torture Carole was enduring. She was licking so painfully slow. Carole almost regretted physical pain from the pinches and the bites.
Mara chuckled at her whines.
“Patience.”
Carole swatted her head. Mara grinned evilly. Doubt pooled in her pleasure addled brain. Oh oh.
“You should have never done that.”
Carole tried to apologize but the mischievous look she receive shut her up. Mara would never change her mind now. She wanted to cry and beg like a kid.
The licking started again.
“I want you to count each lick. Each of them.”
“Wh—”
Mara’s tongue swiped her slit and circled her clit. The end of what she wanted to say ended in gurgles.
“One,” she whispered, broken.
“Good girl,” she praised, before going back down.
Time was lost. Carole couldn’t tell if it’d been minutes or hours. The only thing her mind was focused on was numbers. She counted without even registering the meaning behind each of them. There had been 89.
“90,” she mumbled, out of breath and out of it. Her brain couldn’t focus on anything else than the coil in her belly growing slowly, but still to slow to approach her release. At this point, she didn’t have it in her to press Mara, nor beg. She was there, laying on the bed boneless.
That’s why it took her more time to notice Mara’s movements. She was strapping herself and scooting forward. The spongeous, still wet, tip pressed slowly on her entrance. Carole protested weakly, trying to bat the strap away. She was sure penetration would turn her off, and after all these torturous minutes, she couldn’t let it happen. If only she was not so weak.
As she tried a little be more forceful, Mara pushed inside her in one long slide. Carole cried and moaned. Her cunt was so sensitive, she could feel all the ridge and asperities on the dildo. She crossed her legs behind Mara and thrusted forward.
“Oh, what did you want to say?”, Mara joked.
Carole stuttered some words before being shut up by Mara’s thrust all the way out, then in, at the same excruciating pace.
“Try again?”
“Fuck you!” She spluttered in her renewed consciousness.
“No, I’ll fuck you.” She snarked.
Before Carole could register the meaning of her word, Mara fasten her pace. Carole was a boneless doll, only there to receive what her lover wanted.
One thrust after one, the coil in her lower body grew, until it reached an unbearable sized and exploded. Stars appeared behind her eyelids and everything disappeared in a white light. Her body stiffened, then convulsed under the waves of pleasure. Everything felt too much. The sheet under her skin. The pressure inside her, relentlessly stabbing her spot.
“Ma…ra,” She groaned, trying to regain some strength to push her away.
Mara only chuckled. She thrusted out. Carole sighed, relieved. Only for a short time. Mara flipped her over, spread her legs and laid onto her back.
“How many times can you come, Hun’,” she huskily groaned.
“N..o” She tried to protest, the rest ended, like the first time, in uncoherent babbles.
Mara hips snapped into hers, the dildo spearing her. Carole screamed, both from pleasure and the pain of overstimulation. Mara started her relentless pace, angling her hips to delve deeper and hit her spot. Mara bit her neck and growled as a snapped sent Carole forward. 
If she had been a mess before, she was not even coherent now. Boiling hot waves of pleasure rode her body. Mara did not slow down nor gave her rest. Carole’s heart was beating so fast, she would faint soon or die. Her lungs were barely full and she didn’t care. All that mattered was Mara’s body caging her, and fucking her through the mattress. 
Mara raised herself on her hands, nudging Carole’s legs even more open. the follwing thrust made her heave. She was feeling her in her stomach. She was so far...so good, she thought, dazed. Her mind traveled and left her. She was couldn’t...she yelled when a sharp pain erupted in her buttcheeks, making her clench her walls against the unforgivable dildo.
“You should be glad I won’t make you count each slap.”
Carole rolled her eyes as pain flared in each of her cheeks. Pain and pleasure reverberated in her clit. As Mara played with her asshole, barely pushing a finger in, Carole came hard.
She tensed and coiled onto herself, body seizing under Mara.
Everything went dark.
 She woke up surrounding by warmth and two strong arms. Carole tried to think of what had happened to make her so sluggish and amnesiac. Her body ached and her vagina was ore. Everything was so damn sensitive. And where was the goddamn water. Her throat felt like sandpaper every time she swallowed. She closed her eyes to weak to move and gave up her needs to drink. She’d rather die than move. That was it. She’d die in her five stars hotel room.
“I forgot how dramatic you were.”
Carole surged to a sitting position, head snapping toward Mara. She laid comfortably on her side, looking at her, amused. Carole gaped while her brain try to register what was happening.
“Y-you are h-here?”
“Well, it be bad, if for our honeymoon, I’d sleep elsewhere.”
“Honey- What?”
Mara smirked. She raised her left hand. A gold ring adorned her finger. Carole looked down to her own and stopped breathing for a second. A ring.
“Wait, is it a joke?”
Mara laughed. “I told you, you should have never drink that stuff, it was ridiculously strong.”
“But…”
Carole looked around. It wasn’t their hotel room. It looked like…she slowly made her way out of the bed and headed to the balcony. Because, yes, they now had a balcony. The view was breathtaking. The moon beautifully shined on the waves.
“If my guesses are correct, you don’t remember yesterday, right?”
She nodded still in a daze.
“It’s okay. It’s not even the morning, yet. So why don’t we go back to bed and tomorrow everything will be alright.”
Carole followed silently Mara and laid on the bed. The last thing she remembered before sleeping was how wonderful the weight on her finger felt.

Zodian Gray on “The Honey Thieves”
“We don’t have much time.” 
Her voice is sensual and urgent, reminding me that I do not have the luxury of reflection because we only have a short time together. I leave the balcony and take off my robe and my conservative Persian identity on my way to the bed. I become just Esther, a woman in love with another woman. My long black hair sticks to my sweaty body as if to cover me from her adoring eyes. But Nima’s eyes are stronger than my ingrained shame, and they pull me closer. 
I stop and stare down at her for a second, her naked beauty enchanting me. Her areolas are large and coffee-brown, and her nipples stick straight up because I sucked on them so much last night. My eyes travel down her stomach to that patch of neatly trimmed black fuzz, and then, Nima’s legs fall open like a flower responding to the heat of the sun. She reaches for me and runs her hand over the dark patch at the apex of my heavy thighs. I place one knee on the bed and invite her fingers lower. 
She chuckles softly. “You’re so wet already.”
About the Story:
The inspiration for this story came from a woman who did not know how beautiful she was. I live on an island that's a popular cruise port and one day a group of women came into the store where I worked. One of them was heavier than the others and it was obvious she was uncomfortable and didn't even try to find something in her size. I engaged her in conversation because I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the group and when I asked where she was from, she said Iran. She was more concerned about finding something for her mother and helping the other women and I wished I'd had the time and audacity to tell her that she didn't have to fade into the background while everyone else had fun shopping.
The same day I met a gorgeous woman with extremely dark skin wearing a bright yellow dress. She stood out among the thrones of sweaty tourists, lathered in shea butter and glistening like an African goddess. Of course I complimented her on her beauty and melanin.
These two women stayed with me and I decided to give them a story and this is what they inspired. How far is it from their actual lives I will never know. I hope their true stories are happy ones.
I believe the erotic and emotional parts of us are too intertwined to separate one from the other. I like erotic fiction which explores that emotional connection. Even if you pick up a stranger at a bar, I believe there has to be a connection other than body parts. Finding that connection, as small and fleeting as it may be, is what is exciting to write about and to do it in just a few words is challenging. But when you strip away all the layers and just get to the good stuff, it can be magic.

oh my god oh my god please give more blind kaito im literally crying?? i wanna see him in Action
Oh my goodness, I tried my best! I hope it’s alright, I switched up the perspectives for this one! Thank you so much for asking, I had fun getting back to this!
Part 3
A tone sounded in Kaito’s ear, then the soft, barely perceptible tick of the seconds left behind before his performance began. He crouched in the grate, elbow braced against the side and kept his breathing even while he ran over what needed to happen in the next few seconds. He’d cut it close this time, leaving himself only nine hours to figure everything out fully and then to memorize it all as well. But if nothing else, tonight would bring a victory one way or another, with the added challenge of Hakuba’s close scrutiny focused on his every move it would make the exhilaration of escape even sweeter, and perhaps temper the disappointment the Ballerina’s Ballad would likely bring. 
The thought of Hakuba made him settle, which was a betrayal to his thief’s sensibilities if there ever was one. As soon as he’d heard of the detective joining their class he’d expected it to be the perfect way to spy on one of his accomplished pursuers in close quarters, but then Hakuba had to go and be so damn polite, and yet so sharp at the same time. Sharp enough to cut through any pretenses Kaito feigned at for every hazard and barb he put before Hakuba, and sharp enough to consider something no one else, not even the most crazy fans, had ever considered: that Kaito KID, the elusive moonlit phantom, might be blind. 
And that first accusation had sent his heart racing, not least because of the tone Hakuba had used, so determined and passionate about the truth of his conclusion, that Kaito had fought to keep his poker face instead of letting his smile melt into something more touched. From there, it had just kept going. The need to pull Hakuba careening towards him, testing whether it had been just a momentary delusion or something real, and then the date he’d never expected to be asked on, it was all good fun until he’d realized that in the process of trying to trip Hakuba up, he’d been swept off his own feet. He didn’t miss how Hakuba’s touch sent a shiver through him, nor the genuine excitement over the suggestion of dancing with him—hell, he’d even used the sound of Hakuba’s watch ticking as the audio for his countdown. He was well and truly caught, in one definition of the word and he had a feeling it wouldn’t be too long until Hakuba caught him out in another way too. But he was willing to play with fire, to feel the warmth that came from being near him and with him. 
The last ten seconds started and Kaito tensed, laying his hands on the cold metal in readiness and wishing fingerless gloves went better with his top-hat and cape. In the beginning, he’d worn the gloves his father had, but with so much of what he did reliant on touch, it was best not to forgo that sense on top of everything else. 
Three…
Two…
One…
Kaito flung himself into the darkness that descended on the ballroom outside his post, a wide grin spreading across his face as he heard the startled yells of alarm and the call for flashlights went up in Nakamori’s familiar boom. From the edge of the grate, it took only four long strides for him to reach the corner of the platform and another two steps along it to reach the first square that had to be triggered. 
He had to hand it to the police squad, or more accurately, the ballet director, for thinking up this kind of security instead of a conventional method of lock and key. It had certainly required more than his usual methods to ascertain the combination, but trust Nakamori to be willing to show him the way with a conveniently placed positioning tracker. Aoko’s father had never been one to forgo asking his opinion in times of quandary and the physicality of Nakamori’s fondness was one he’d always appreciated. Taking advantage of it had given him just the slightest tinge of guilt, considering how much it meant when only his mother’s voice reached him from overseas, but for the sake of his goal, he’d brushed the reticence aside. 
As for the sequence, after memorizing the dimensions of so many floor plans and furniture layouts, both for heists and for general school use, it was simply a matter of practice before he could have completed the steps in his sleep. He’d spent the last few hours of his preparation running through it over and over again on the floor of the lair, making sure he didn’t hit the bounds or overshoot his trajectory on the jumps. 
Just as he heard the lights click back on, he reached the display case and was greeted by one of the best sounds in the world: the gasps of the task force as they realized he already had the jewel in hand. It was a true pleasure to catch them off-kilter, even when he’d specifically warned them ahead of time, there was just a thrill to it. 
“KID!” And that voice, Hakuba’s yell that only made his grin grow wider as he tipped his hat in the direction it had come from. “Stop right there!”
“You underestimated my dancing prowess I see, but a magician should be as good with his feet as he is with his hands.” 
He froze in the center pretending to admire the shine of the beryl as he held it up to the newly restored light, instead listening to the sound of the approaching rush of guards and estimating just how far away they were. As soon as the first officer’s footstep changed tone, from the dull thud on polished wood to the sharp clap on the dance parquet, Kaito braced his leg on top of the case and jumped. 
His already upraised hand sprouted a grapple that snaked up to snag on the smooth ceiling, pulling him aloft at the apex of his jump and swinging him towards the door he’d marked ahead of time for an easier exit. The pile of officers that had doubtless formed behind him shouted and swore but the trap that they had so expertly set for him had sprung on them instead. 
He knew his next moves down to the inch: the door was exactly forty-five feet from the parquet, a small lobby beyond fifteen feet wide with couches arranged in a diamond pattern leaving a clean route straight through to another door twenty feet ahead opening onto a corridor. From there it would be a simple escape through a side entrance fifty feet to the right. Anyone who found him outside the building would be treated to a frail old man hobbling along on his walker. 
Confident in his path, he slid along the waxed floor when he landed and held out a hand to tap the door as he passed, starting the stride count in his head. Three feet, six feet, ni—his elbow caught the edge of something as he passed through the middle of the lobby, a pedestal he didn’t remember from his orientation of the room. It shouldn’t have been there, he wasn’t one to miss something so obviously in his path and he’d certainly made his rounds thoroughly that afternoon. Nevertheless, it had been in his way and he should’ve been able to avoid it. He twisted, hands finding the edge of the pedestal and searching for something to grab and right into place but whatever had been on it smashed to the floor a second later, the pieces raining over his shoes and the pristine tiles. 
“KID?” Hakuba’s voice sounded from far too close, somewhere to his left and Kaito startled, a shard of the mystery object crunching under his feet. He didn’t have any time to dwell on this, Hakuba was already a liability from having too many suspicions, there was no reason to give him an opportunity to have any more. Orienting himself again with a swift pivot of the heel, he raced for the corridor again, tossing a pair of smoke bombs behind him as a parting gift. 
A few seconds later, he’d divested himself of his cape and hat, donning the sweater vest and loafers of his disguise and the fire escape opened under his hands quietly and easily. He stepped into the crisp night air to let himself blend into the audience of onlookers congregated near the front of the building, the gem heavy in his pocket, waiting with possibility. But despite the success of the evening, the thought still kept coming back to him, unbidden and unnerving: how much had Hakuba seen?
