Natural Satellite [ch 7]
An In Stars and Time AU. In part seven, Isabeau talks to Loop. (SPOILER WARNING for the entire epilogue / "secret ending" / "two hats" / just really all conceivable spoilers! Read at your own risk!!!!!!)
You’re not going to talk to him, obviously. You’re under no obligation to chat up every idiot who comes your way. You’ll just stay in your tree and wish you were dead, like you always do when your stardust is off having manic episodes and/or interviewing genocidal maniacs. But when he shuffles up to your tree, the Fighter has the gall to say, “Um… Loop? Are you home?” (NO.) Against your better judgment, you allow him to see you. "You don’t really believe that this little tree is my home, do you?” “Nnnot... anymore?” “Aw, Fighter,” you giggle. “Did you think that stars grew on trees? I’m devastated to deprive you of such a charming misconception.”
Again, and I cannot emphasize this enough: a6se spoilers below!!!!
(And a followup PSA: with all the unsettling updates viz a viz "whoops maybe AI-training / content-scraping is coming to Tumblr too," for now I think I'm gonna stop posting entire chapters on here! I'll still post a sizeable preview, but the work in full will continue to hide out on ao3.)
In hindsight, your first mistake was letting yourself believe that things couldn’t get any worse. You should have known the Universe would take it as a challenge.
* * *
In a field a quarter-mile further south and a few hundred feet to the east, a Traveler jolts awake. They sit up on their elbows just in time to see their Fighter hurtling into view.
The Fighter beams at him. “It worked!!!!!”
“—Buh?”
(Ve~ry articulate, stardust. Why, I can’t think of a single reason why the big guy might take that the worst way he can think of!!!)
Sure enough, the Fighter sags a little. “U-Um. I meant… looping back without dying?”
“...Oh.” They’re not looking at him, just down at their own hand. Running their fingers over their palm with a vague, faraway look in their eye. For a second, you can feel phantom fingers ghost over your wrist. “Um. Sorry.”
The Fighter looks baffled. “What? No. I mean, I’m sorry. Why are you sorry?”
The Traveler just keeps staring at their palm. When the Fighter’s eyes follow theirs, he flushes all the way down his neck.
You roll your eyes. He was always sooo~ easy. Not that your silly little stardust could ever rub two brain cells together for long enough to notice.
You can’t feel them all the way on the rooftop. Maybe it’s because you never made it that far. Or maybe it’s the King’s wish, dampening yours. But you can feel them now. The pins-and-needles prickle of your palm. Warm static fizzing up your arm. You can feel the way you— the way they’re looking at their Fighter, and trying not to look, and looking anyway. You have many faults, but you’re not stupid. You can put one and one together.
“UHHH,” the Fighter blurts out, overloud. “I’m… really sorry? I just… You said I had to do something you w-wouldn’t expect and I—I guess I really really didn’t want you to stab yourself, so…”
Your eyebrows twitch. (No they don’t. You don’t have eyebrows, probably. Unless you do? How would you ever know?)
“No,” your stardust mumbles. “It’s. Um. It’s… sorry, it’s… Sorry. Um. Don’t… worry about it?”
(…Are they stupid? He’s definitely going to worry about it.)
“Okay!!!!” the Fighter shouts. “Cool!!! Then I definitely won’t!!!”
(Uh huh.)
The Traveler shakes his head muzzily. “I—uh. I should go… do something? Else?”
“Huh?”
They gather just enough of their shattered composure to muster a glare. “If you’re going to make us fight the King every time, then I need everyone’s special skills. Or else it’s going to take forever.”
“Everyone’s what-now?”
“Their— When I help them with their problems, they—” He huffs impatiently. “It doesn’t matter. I just mean, I have things to do. Now. With the others.”
Their Fighter blinks at them. “Wait. You get friendship quests?”
“...Yes?”
“Secret quests!!!” the Fighter gasps, brightening. “What do you do with everyone??”
“That’s private.”
“Okay, fair. Well, then, what did you do with me?”
The Traveler looks away. “…Not telling.”
Well, of course they won’t. Wouldn’t want their precious Fighter just… saying his lines. Parroting the same stupid sentiments over and over till the words all lose their meaning, like a certain blinding moron who you are, of course, far too decorous to name.
“U-Um,” the Fighter mumbles. “Okay, well. If you’re gonna be busy with the others, then… I think I wanna talk to Loop.”
You nearly fall out of your tree. Fortunately, the only witness is a nearby nest of swallows, which you’ve already sworn to silence.
In the field, your stardust looks almost as surprised. “You’re—what? Just you?”
The Fighter nods.
“You and Loop?”
“...Is that okay?”
“...Yes?” You can feel their bafflement all the way from here. Or is that yours? Sometimes it’s hard to tell.
* * *
You’re not going to talk to him, obviously. He’s not the one trapping you here. That would be his precious little Traveler. You’re under no obligation to chat up every idiot who comes your way. You’ll just stay in your tree and wish you were dead, like you always do when your stardust is off having manic episodes and/or interviewing genocidal maniacs.
But when he shuffles up to your tree, the Fighter has the gall to say, “Um… Loop? Are you home?”
(NO.)
Against your better judgment, you allow him to see you. "You don’t really believe that this little tree is my home, do you?”
“Nnnot anymore?”
“Aw, Fighter~,” you giggle. “Did you think that stars grew on trees? I’m devastated to deprive you of such a charming misconception.”
“That’s not what I—!! Aw, it doesn’t matter. Sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you.”
“Teehee! I wouldn’t worry about that!” Only people are capable of offense, and you haven’t been a person in a long time. “What is it that you want, Fighter? Or are you just here to enjoy the pleasure of my company.”
“Um… Well, I’m also here to say hi?”
Your patience thins. “You don’t have to lie to me.”
Isa— The Fighter flinches. “Haha… I guess I just wanted to ask about, um…” He pulls a notebook out of his pocket. “You and Sif have been trying to figure this out for, like, ages, right? Ages and ages of loops.”
“Mhmmm~~”
“And you’ve been talking with them this whole time.”
“That’s right! I’ve come to know my sweet little stardust quite intimately, teehee.”
The Fighter chokes. “I. Uh. Right. So, then, do you… Have you guys figured anything out about why this is happening?”
“‘Why,’ hm? Aren’t we getting a little ahead of ourselves? I would’ve thought you’d start with ‘how.’”
“Well, it’s all one big ouroboros, isn’t it?”
You quirk an eyebrow at him. “That’s an awfully big word for a guy who can’t even confess a crush.”
His face flushes violently. Bullseye.
“Oooh, did I guess right?” you giggle, like it wasn’t abundantly obvious. “How embarrassing! You have such bad taste!”
“Hey.”
“Am I wrong, though?” You wink. “You’ve seen how they’ve been acting. Now that the show is over, they’re finally ready to show their true shades.”
The Fighter’s fists clench. Good. Time to finish him off. If you play your cards right, he’ll never want to come back.
“Say, here’s a fun game!” you say brightly. “Do you want to guess how many times he let you all die just to save a little time?”
Want to finish out this chapter? You can read the rest on AO3!

readalong riverdale playlist guide
songs have been added in no particular order. sometimes songs tie to broader visions of a musical episode, but some are just “they should have shoehorned this in somewhere in that classic riverdale way”. all songs are musical theater songs. yes i know they did superboy and the invisible girl but they did it wrong (sorry cami, you were great). this is an eternally updating playlist and guide. enjoy!
Corner of the Sky, from Pippin: Archie!!! This literally could happen anywhere at any point in time. What is this song if not Pippin going left Pippin going right. Put this wherever your heart desires. I want to come up with a Pippin musical episode plot because it’s so good. Jughead singing "Simple Joys" over a montage of Archie not dealing with his problems… I’m getting carried away.
Kind of Woman, from Pippin: Veronica would sing this in an entirely unselfaware way. I’m thinking early season two. Isn’t it a beautiful vision?
Superboy and the Invisible Girl, from Next to Normal: THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A COOPERS SONG. I’m mentally rewriting the n2n episode with this being a Coopers song.
Could I Leave You?, from Follies: A timeskip Veronica and Hermione duet at their respective shitty husbands. It ends with Hermione resignedly going back to the minutiae of marriage and with Ronnie shooting Chad in the face. Don’t worry about how this messes with plot this isn’t about that.
Your Fault, from Into the Woods: Read this post and envision a beautiful ITW episode.
I’ve Never Been in Love Before, from Guys and Dolls: Okay honestly? Archie and Josie duet. Cuter than "Fight For Me", imo.
Mother Knows Best, from Tangled: Alice, duh. Season one or season seven.
Do You Hear the People Sing?, from Les Mis: Season six union stuff baybee! Hand in hand with "Bread and Roses". It also would be really funny to have KJ and Vanessa, who in my opinion suffer the most from iPhone Voice in the cast, to do such a grand musical-y song. It would not be very good but boy would it be entertaining.
Therapy, from Tick, Tick… Boom!: BUGHEAD DYSFUNCTION DUET YES PLEASE. Let’s say season four. "Exquisite Corpse" vibe, but suppress it all. Maybe the problem’s simply codependency!
Get This Right, from Frozen II: Okay hear me out this is one of the most stupidly romantic songs I have ever heard. An Archie song, obviously. Timeskip Varchie. Maybe he’s actually about to propose, maybe not, doesn’t matter. All that matters is how much I genuinely think KJ could have slayed this song.
Being Alive, from Company: Obviously go read Jughead’s Weird Fantasy right now if you haven’t already. But even in Riverdale canon I would want Jughead to sing this in timeskip. If we’re getting specific it feels very Tabby tucking him in after he gets too drunk at the key party. Sorry for nixing the gay subtext by putting it next to a Jabitha moment jail for a million years for me I know. It could also be after Archie calls him when he’s in NYC. There you go, gay people.
Something’s Coming, from West Side Story: Season one or seven Archie. Just feels very wholesome. I think it would be cute. Could be performed on stage if season one.
How Did We Come to This?, from The Wild Party (Lippa): A Veronica La Bonne Nuit performance that somehow becomes a group number (she’s the only one singing on stage though). Season three. No "Queenie Was A Blonde" tag. I could make an AMV to this song. I should not do that I already have three in the works. But I could.
Run Away with Me, from The Mad Ones: This is purely self-indulgent because I like on-the-road Jarchie and I have a soft spot for this mediocre musical for personal reasons. 
Suddenly Seymour, from Little Shop of Horrors: Choni! Choni forever and ever amen. Season seven, I think, when Cheryl finally accepts that she’s a lesbian and is facing homophobia from her family/society/etc. Cheryl is Audrey which is funny because “mama was poor” lol no she wasn’t. They should go all the way and get the rights to change the lyrics to Suddenly Toni. Neither Madelaine nor Vanessa has the right voice for this song even a little bit. I do not care. 
Partner in Crime, from Tuck Everlasting: Betty and Archie. In my wildest fantasies this is like a season four flashback to them as kids and we have kid Barchie sing this song but other than that I think this could be a number when they’re hooking up in timeskip. Even though I don’t approve of Barchie hooking up in timeskip because I hate straight people I do think they would slay this. KJ specifically I think would sound great on this, it’s not really a Lili song but oh well. Another version that would be incredibly funny but not as good would be having timeskip Veronica and Reggie sing it about, like, actual crime.
Totally Fucked, from Spring Awakening: Kevin-centric group number in the style of "In" or "Beautiful". Could be anywhere from seasons two to four. Maybe we include the “did you write this?” thing with Betty and Jughead as Melchior. They did some expose for some paper. You know how it is. I wish the Riverdale characters were allowed to say fuck so bad.
Moving Too Fast, from The Last Five Years: Timeskip Jughead. It almost fits but doesn’t in a way that’s oh-so-Riverdale.
The I Love You Song, from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee: Sad. Shared between Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl, but Veronica-centric (could be an unhinged La Bonne Nuit performance from her with cutaways to the other two, actually). Whenever the most amount of parents in this group are in jail. There’s at least one meaningful shot of Jughead reacting.
I’m Breaking Down, from Falsettos: Okay this one is sort of cheating because I don’t necessarily want to fit it into the actual canon of Riverdale I just think if Archie had come out in high school Veronica would have pulled a "The Ladies Who Lunch" and done this at La Bonne Nuit. I think Cami would body that.
What Is This Feeling?, from Wicked: Hear me out. Bret/Jughead duet.
For Good, from Wicked: Betty and Veronica, season seven. Or quad number in late s4/early s5 before the timeskip. I think Lili would sound gorgeous on this, especially the bridge.
Two-Player Game, from Be More Chill: Look Joe Iconis wrote music that was used in Archie: The Musical let me have this okay. Season one Jarchie. Jughead as Michael obviously even though he’s nothing like Michael and Archie is nothing like Jeremy. I just want to make Cole Sprouse say “favowite”.
Mother’s Gonna Make Things Fine, from A New Brain: I have a whole beautiful vision for an A New Brain musical episode that takes place in season four. It’s too long to get into right now but just know it’s there and it’s gorgeous and I’m going to fully flesh it out soon. Once again this is obviously an Alice song, except instead of well-meaning Jewish mom it’s overbearing evil (albeit MILFy) WASP. She’s fretting over Betty because Betty’s fretting about college or Jughead or something who cares. I just need Mädchen to do this.
Change, from A New Brain: This would happen about three quarters of the way through the episode. In classic Riverdale fashion they’d get a little insensitive with it and this would be a Ronnie La Bonne Nuit performance. Change the government kill the mayor! Say that! Even if the mayor is your parent! Especially if the mayor is your parent!
Brain Dead, from A New Brain: This is my favorite part of my A New Brain musical episode. It’s once again a Bughead repression duet. Just imagine the lavender marriage dream sequence anger tango they would do. I also think Cole Sprouse wouldn’t sound too horrible on this song. High praise. No lyric changes Jughead is saying “as the MD lifts me in his cruisy chiseled arms”. I’m getting angry about the fact that I will never get to see this on my screen I’m going to do some breathing exercises to calm down.
Take Me or Leave Me, from RENT: We’re gonna split this up among couples in classic Riverdale fashion. Timeskip, our Maureens are Kevin and Veronica, and our Joannes are Fangs and Archie. The Joannes don’t really work so maybe we’ll pull another classic Riverdale and cut their verses. Unfortunately the best line of the song (“Women, what is it about them? Can’t live with them or without them!”) has to be cut. I wish Choni could also sing this but alas it can’t work in this. Mostly this is an excuse to give Casey Cott more stuff to sing and I think it would be hilarious if he sung this.
Tango: Maureen, from RENT: Honestly, Riverdale both could and would do a really messy RENT episode. I should ruminate further on that. Anyway. I don’t actually know where or how this could work but I want it to be a weirdly sexually charged Vughead duet. But that makes Betty or Archie Maureen, and they are not Maureen… I don’t know. This one’s just in here because I like imagining Cole Sprouse dancing, and because I think Jughead is Jewish and it would be really funny to hear him say “Riverdale Jewish Community Center”. Let’s go with timeskip. She cheated! She cheated! Betty cheated! Fucking cheated! Oh, shit, could this be a Jarchie song in timeskip when Betty and Archie are hooking up? I think it could! Wow. Good work gang.
Razzle Dazzle, from Chicago: I’m also creating a beautiful Chicago musical episode that I don’t have time to detail right now but trust me it’s awesome. It’s in season four, Hermosa is relevant to it. Anyway this is another Kevin-centric group number where everyone is lying to different people about different things. Crucially, Cole Sprouse says the line “they’ll never know you’re just a bagel”.
I Can’t Do It Alone, from Chicago: Veronica’s asking someone to help her scheme!
Mister Cellophane, from Chicago: GAY KEVIN. NEED I SAY MORE.
My Own Best Friend, from Chicago: Beronica duet. Lives would be changed. They’re sort of fighting at this point in the episode so there would be an underlying current of potential hatefucking. But that’s sort of always the case with this song tbh. Also this isn’t on this playlist but imagine Reggie singing "Roxie". So bad. So good.
American Idiot, by Green Day/from American Idiot: Songs from jukebox musicals count too, right? Archie-led group number obviously. Let’s go with season six, but it could be season one or five, too. Maybe he is the faggot America. Jughead says the line “now everybody do the propaganda”. There’s a coordinated dance thing a la "Random Number Generation".
A Cockeyed Optimist, from South Pacific: Archie, duh. Season one, six, or seven. Probably sung directly to a Lodge.
Watch What Happens, from Newsies: Betty, season four. She's doing a piece on the community center that Archie and Mad Dog co-run. I think Lili would slay this honestly. I debated adding the reprise largely so that I could have Cole sing the snake line and to have an iconic "the poor guy's head is spinning" thing side note how can I make Davey and Jack about Jughead and Archie someone needs to shoot me. Anyway we'd cut the stuff about Katherine being into Jack in this song obviously because Betty is unhappily hetero with Jughead. Hashtag women in journalism.
Matchmaker, from Fiddler on the Roof: 50sdale girls. Really strong fun gay visuals exist in my brain for this one.
Anything You Can Do, from Annie Get Your Gun: Vughead. Neither can I!
Let Me Entertain You, from Gypsy: Ronnie duh. Season three-ish La Bonne Nuit Era. Or Polly Amorous.
I Cain't Say No, from Oklahoma!: 50sdale Betty sexual awakening era. I can SEE a beautiful beautiful dream sequence vision where she dances around flirting with Archie and Jughead and Reggie and Veronica can't you.
Tribulation, from Schmigadoon!: Yes this is a TV show not a staged live musical who cares. I don't like Music Man I'm not putting "Ya Got Trouble" on here. Alice gets a patter I don't think Mädchen would be particularly good at it but it would be extremely fun. Season seven most likely, but let's be real it could come at any point in the show.
Naughty Baby, from Crazy for You: You think I'm about to say Veronica or perhaps Cheryl don't you. WRONG Dark Betty. Oh it would be so cringe so painful so bad so terrible. It must happen. I don't know when in the show it happens it could literally be any time in s1-6.
With One Look, from Sunset Boulevard: Ronnie... I'm thinking s5 Riverbucks era.
that's all i have for now but there's more to come :]

Hataraku Maou-sama! ES!! Summary (Third Story) Part 1
So as mentioned in my previous post, the third story has a longer summary/translation from the chinese website. I'm translating it in parts and will update when I have time.
Rika came to visit:
“Hey—Urushihara-san! You’re at home, right! Can you help open the door?”
Rika was sure that she could hear the sound of rubbing cloth.
“I want to open a Gate, would only disturb for a while, let me in for a while—! Please!”
“......”
“Urushi—hara—sa–n—!”
After pressing on the doorbell a few times, a sound of someone moving slowly was finally heard from inside, Urushihara Hanzo showed an unhappy expression just as Rika predicted, looking at her through the gap in the door.
“......What.”
“I’m sorry. I want to open a Gate, thus disturbing you!”
“I’m still taking a nap?”
“Oh my, you actually just dislike troublesome things so you don’t want to pay attention to me, right? The half-eaten snack is still in the corner of the closet, and I heard you moving the first time I pressed the doorbell.”
Perhaps she hit the target, Urushihara’s frown deepened.
“.......If you want to open a Gate, can’t you just do it in the corridor.”
“This is also considered outside. And I heard Ashiya-san and Emi say, Urushihara-san usually does online shopping, right? If a delivery person, newspaper delivery person or postman enters while opening the Gate, wouldn’t that be really bad.”
“Haah……seriously. Come in quickly. I am busy.”
Even though it was not known what he could be busy with while staying in the closet, it still felt awkward to tease Urushihara, so Rika placed the angel feather pen on the tatami.
“I say, I may look like this, but I am still a demon who can get rid of a human with a finger. If you act like this some more……”
Just as Urushihara decided to at least complain with one sentence,
“Hey—”
Rika had already disappeared, the Gate also closed.
Urushihara suddenly remembered and looked towards the porch, Rika’s shoes were there.
Because Urushihara was around, she took off her shoes as if she was simply going to another person’s house.
“......Forget it, it’s not my fault anyway.”
Even though he thought about whether he should throw the shoes into the Gate, at this moment, the Gate had already closed.
“And, I am Demon General Lucifer. It doesn’t matter if you are Emilia’s friend or what, isn’t this having no sense of boundaries at all?”
Rika talked about Lucifer after meeting up with Emi:
“This is fine~but why aren’t you wearing shoes~?”
“Ah. About this.”
Rika summarised her conversation with Urushihara in Villa Rosa Sasazuka Room 201, Emerada’s expression turned stern.
“As expected~ Lucifer is scum~”
“About this, Chiho and Ashiya-san and I also frequently……eh? Scum?”
This was the first time Rika heard Emerada scold other people like this, and could not help but widen her eyes.
“This kind of person should be described like this~. Well, even though that guy is not human~”
“Ah, uh, yeah.”
“Rika-san has to be careful too, okay~. That guy Lucifer, you don’t know when he would suddenly attack humans~. Because for species like demons, in principle, you cannot be careless~”
“I, I know. Erhm, thanks for your treatment. I will pay attention next time……”
(skipping unrelated conversation)
“Based on what I understand until now, it is considered natural……but Emerada-san, dislikes Urushihara-san that much?”
“Ah…… right now?”
Emi showed a troubled smile, sitting next to Rika.
“That’s right. Because there needs to be cooperation now, so there is no choice but to interact normally, but when Em is working with the Demon King and the others, she must be trying hard to tolerate it.”
“Yeah, matters in this aspect. But, they are similar to workers who were originally in opposing factions. But, I saw Emerada-san speak with Ashiya-san, how should I put it, it feels normal.”
“When we fought with Alsiel directly, he was already a demon who could be spoken to, and additionally, Em and Lucifer, there are too many direct causes.”
“Direct causes?”
“Yeah. So, I feel that even if me and the Demon King and Lucifer are only harmonious on the surface, Em might also dislike it greatly. Even though I did not feel her showing it.”
Emi looked down slightly.
(skipping Rika wishing to listen to the story)
“Or rather, it could be because Rika suddenly became connected to Ente Isla, so I have to tell you. The original nature of the relationship between our “Hero group’ and the ‘Demon King Army’...... but with this, it might change the impression of ‘Maou’, ‘Ashiya’ and ‘Urushihara’ in your heart.”
(skip Rika agreeing to continue)
“Amongst us, Em has the greatest hostility towards the Demon King Army. Even though there are many reasons, there must be areas I also do not understand……but her hostility towards Lucifer is especially strong, there are clear reasons.”
“Un.”
Emi deliberated on her wordings, Rika did not rush her.
She was waiting for Emi to speak naturally.
“Em, lost in a direct battle with Lucifer, and was forced to submit to him. Because of this, our hometown—Western Continent Saint Aire empire, fell under Lucifer’s command.”
“Urushihara-san ruling a country, this cannot be imagined at all……but many unbelievable things also happened earlier. Demons can also rule a country huh.”
“I am also unclear on what demons in other lands can do. But, the invasion of the Demon King Army caused the areas controlled by humans to decrease rapidly, almost all of the Western Continent fell into Lucifer’s hands. My journey, started during those despairing conditions.”
Then Emi—Emilia Justina started to narrate.
The Hero’s journey of saving the world, the first story.

A Quick Dip - Part 2
Tumblr media
Pairing: Jake x f!reader
Summary: After fighting the idea for months, you finally give in to your mother’s persistence in inviting you to your childhood vacation for a weekend at the beach. It also gives them the opportunity to meet your boyfriend, Jake, for the very first time. Just as you expected, things do not go as well as you might have hoped. 
Part 1
Word count: 8.1k (sorry my Jake fics are so long!)
A/N: So this is my first fic update since my little hiatus. Although this one didn’t do as well as I had hoped, I had some requests to do part 2 of this. I do love this story quite a bit so here ya go! (And there was months between these and I can’t bear to reread part one again so if stuff doesn’t flow as well as it should, that’s why)
Shout out to Miss @allieboop for keeping me motivated and helping out with the wonderful header for this! 
Like always, I love any feedback and support you guys give me. Hope you enjoy this one!! ❤️
-Also, you don’t NEED to read part 1, but it does help with the context-
**Everything written here is intended to be read as complete fiction with the utmost respect for the real people these characters may be based on. I do not know the guys personally and don’t intend for this to reflect on them as real people in any way.**
Warnings: mentions of alcohol consumption, the brief topic of body insecurities, jealousy,  graphic sexual content, 18+ MINORS DNI!! (penetrative sex, fingering, oral f!receiving, slight spit kink (you know me, it’s not a fic of mine if there isn’t that sprinkled in), m!dom, rough sex, public sex, praise, and slight degradation), if I missed one please let me know! 
And just like that, the outside deck light was flicked on.
You threw yourself forward into the crook of Jake’s neck, pressing so hard that your cheek practically fused into his skin. You were hoping that the back of the deck chair you were sitting in could shield you from peering eyes that were hidden within the house. Your boyfriend’s hands were gripped so tightly around your hips that his nails were digging painfully into the soft flesh. 
You were both frozen in place, too afraid to even take a single breath, but you feel his heartbeat pounding wildly against your cheek and your own thumping erratically in your ears. It felt like an eternity, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed before the light switch was flipped off-leaving you in complete darkness once again. Even though you still couldn’t move, your mind continued to race through every possible thought. You felt the tension lock up every single muscle in Jake’s body as it sat rigid as a statue beneath yours. 
It wasn’t clear if you were just caught or not, but you knew you couldn't remain in the position you were in either. Your stiff knees ached as you leaned back, pulling your face from the tacky skin of Jake’s neck.
When you made eye contact again, you caught the frightened, “deer-in-the-headlights look in his eyes. 
“I…I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes,” Jake whispered so quietly you almost didn’t catch it. Despite the clear fear in his voice, a giggle broke through your lips before you could cover your mouth to catch the sound. 
The laughter also made you realize that he was still inside you, softening with each passing minute as you straddled his lap. He hissed sharply through his teeth and when you laughed, squeezing your waist to still you. 
“I’m fucking serious! This is all your fault,” scolded you with a faux-serious tone, the mask slipping away when he started to smile as well.
“My fault?!”
“Shhh!”  He shushed you, throwing his palm to cover your mouth, but he couldn’t help but laugh as well. “You’re going to get us caught for sure!”
He pulled his hand away and pulled you back in for a gentle, chaste kiss while mumbling into your mouth, “we really need to get back inside though.” 
You nodded in agreement as your thoughts filtered through the post-sex haze clouding your mind.
You remembered that your clothes were a soaking wet pile on the side of the pool deck. And to both your dismay, when you rushed out of the house to follow Jake out here, bringing towels was not on the top of your priorities list. 
You glanced around looking for something, anything, to cover your dripping wet and now shivering-naked bodies. Jake’s pajama pants were bunched up on the far end of the pool where he initially jumped in, which was all in the view from the sliding glass door. 
“Stay here.” He shimmied out from under you.
“Jake! Wait-“
“For what? If we get caught, we get caught. I’m fucking freezing out here. Besides, I think it’s better for them to see me naked than you. I’ll be right back.”
He leaned down to give you a quick peck on the forehead before darting across the deck, holding a hand over his groin in an attempt at covering himself as he scurried to get his clothing. You had to hold a hand over your mouth to refrain from laughing at your boyfriend’s misfortune. 
He quickly reached the far side of the pool within seconds and pulled the pants up in such a rush that nearly made him trip when his foot caught in the leg of the pajamas. He lifted his finger, signaling you to wait a moment before disappearing into the house and pulling the sliding glass door closed behind him. 
You heard the door slide against the metal tracks, pulling you from your thoughts to look up at your smiling boyfriend with a blanket tucked under his arm. He draped it across your shoulders so you didn't have to move your hands which would have exposed your chest.
“Let’s get you inside, okay?”
You hesitated for a second, worried about what would be waiting for you, “Are they awake?”
He shook his head, “I didn’t see or hear anything, but let’s not push our luck.”
Jake wrapped an arm across your shoulder to escort you back into your parent’s home. After a final kiss and embrace while saying your “goodnights” and “I love you” to each other, you quickly shuffled back to your bedroom and changed into a new set of pajamas that you blindly dug out of your suitcase. 
You were right about the possibility of not being able to shower with the risk of waking your parents, but the exhaustion was starting to set in as well. You gave your best attempt to finger comb through the wet, chlorine-fused tangles that had begun to matt through your hair before giving up entirely.
You heard your phone buzz on the nightstand as it illuminated the small room with the notification popping up across the lock screen. The brightness made you wince before your eyes could adjust fully, and you saw that it was from Jake.
At least you know that I’d risk it all for you ;) 
But I’d do it again in a heartbeat
                                That was too close. Not trying to have you killed before my eyes. There might not even be the next time.
You never know. Get some rest, beautiful. Love you 
                             
    Love you, too ❤️
You awoke to the grating, obnoxious sound of a blender being turned on. The sun cutting through the open blinds you had forgotten to close the night before, cast the room in its bright summer morning light. You groaned loudly as you tried to stretch out the sore muscles in your body created only hours prior. 
Checking the time on your phone you noticed it was only 7:38. Great. You had only really slept for about three or four hours, and you felt it. Knowing how your mother was, she wasn’t going to try to be quiet so you could get more rest. 
Accepting your fate, you grabbed clean clothes and your bag before leaving for the bedroom, skipping past the kitchen and toward the bathroom for a much-needed shower. The hot water soothed the aching stiffness in your body and rinsed the sleepiness from your face. The poor state of your hair needed more conditioner than usual hoping for the best. Although you still ended up combing painstakingly through the mess of knots and tangles for what seemed to be an eternity. 
You dressed in a pair of denim shorts and a simple t-shirt to stay cool and comfortable and skipped any sort of make-up routine given how early it still was in the day. 
The house was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sounds of dishes clanging in the sink while your mother was busy cleaning and preparing food in the kitchen. You hadn’t spotted Jake yet, but you quickly noted that the pull-out couch was set back in place with all the linens and blankets stashed away.
“Morning!” Your mother chimed in an overly excited tone of voice when she noticed your presence. She still had her back facing towards you while she chopped fruit at the counter. 
“Morning,” you grumbled back, making your way to the cabinet that housed all of the glasses and mugs. “Where’s Jake?”
“Out with your father.”
Your heart nearly stopped. Oh, God.
“What?!”
“Don’t you remember? He wanted to take Jake out fishing this morning.” 
Shit. It all came back to you in an instant. Dad had emphasized multiple times last night about taking your boyfriend out on the boat today, to the point of irritation for both of you. Guilt bubbled in your empty gut, making you feel instantly queasy. 
“What’s wrong, honey?”
“Nothing,” you brushed off with a shake of your head, “What time did they leave?”
“I’m not sure. I think he was telling me he was going to try to leave around 5:30.”
Jake had maybe gotten two hours of sleep if he was able to sleep on the shitty pull-out couch, and that didn’t fare well with dealing with your father. You imagined him barking orders at your groggy, sleep-deprived boyfriend in your head. 
You hummed in response as you opened the fridge looking for creamer for your coffee. 
She turned to you as you poured into your mug, clouding the black brew in a mixture of caramel-colored swirls.
 “So was there a reason for your wet clothes being left out on the deck this morning?”
You nearly choked on the hot beverage, wincing as it almost burned the back of your throat.
As if the universe decided to grant you a single favor, saving you from having to come up with an explanation for your nosey mother right on the spot, the front door suddenly opened. You could tell your mother wasn’t expecting it either, given how much she jumped in shock from the sudden interruption. 
You couldn’t see who it was, but you were able to tell immediately that it was your father from the string of angry curses spat through clenched teeth. A few seconds later he came bursting through the kitchen with furrowed brows and a snarl pulled over his tense features. 
You didn’t dare look at him as he made his way towards the sliding glass door with his tackle box and fishing poles in hand. The front door opened and closed again, followed by the sound of soft footsteps making their way toward the kitchen. 
The sliding door was pulled harshly along its tracks until it smacked into the metal frame and latch with a loud thud! Your father stormed across the pool deck and down the stairs and around the corner towards the shed. 
“Well, I guess the fishing trip didn’t go as planned,” your mother noted through a deep, defeated sigh as she continued slicing fruit for her smoothie. 
Jake hesitantly peaked around the corner, stalling right at the entrance that led into the kitchen. You couldn’t quite pin the look on his face. It was a combination of exhaustion, confusion, and embarrassment.
He mouthed “hey” and you mimicked the gesture over the lip of your coffee cup before taking a sip. 
“Oh good morning, Jacob!” Your mother greeted him with the same sing-song tone in her voice that she did with you. One that was slightly jarring to both of you due to your lack of proper sleep. 
You caught his eyes narrow at her persistence in using his full name despite your best efforts of correcting her on the formality. 
“Morning, Mrs. Y/L/N.”
“I wasn’t expecting you both back so soon.” 
“Yeah. Well, there seemed to be an issue with-“
Jake was cut off by your father busting into the house once more, cursing loudly as soon as he entered and slamming the door behind him.
“God damn piece of shit boat! The damn thing needs to have the engine looked at again. I swear it's nothing but a money pit-”
Through the years, Mom has learned her lesson to not question your Dad through moments like this, opting to allow him to vent all his frustrations. Jake seemed to have picked up on this as well, deciding on staring at the ground while twirling his ring around his middle finger.
“-Of course after we haul all the gear and shit on it. The fucking thing wouldn’t turn over. Spent about an hour on the son-of-a-bitch before calling it quits.”
“I’m sorry to hear that, dear.” 
“Agh! It happens. Looked like it was going to be a perfect day to be out,” He sighed while looking out at the pool deck, “I just have to make plans to pull it out of the water this week. But Jacob was a good sport through the ordeal. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, sir,” Jake responded calmly with a single nod, careful not to upset your father more than he already was, like tiptoeing through an active minefield. 
“So, that leaves the day free for us I suppose.” Your dad turns to look at you, “You two have any plans?”
“Uhh, well…” 
Your mom is quick to cut in before you could answer, “So I’ve been thinking of throwing a small party tonight while Y/N is up for the weekend. How does that sound?”
“I don’t know, Mom.” You looked at your boyfriend to gauge his reaction, he only shrugged in response. 
“Oh, shush! It will be lovely.”
“I guess it’s settled, then,” your dad concluded the discussion as he pulled the glass coffee pot to fill his mug. 
While Dad leaves to run errands around town to pick up drinks, food, and supplies from a long list your mother gave him, you stay busy helping her clean and prepare for the small get-together. 
Your mother was quick to give Jake tasks like skimming the pool, dragging around and setting up the outdoor furniture for guests, and sweeping off the deck. You would have been worried about the somewhat demeaning tasks, but he made it clear that he would do whatever to avoid tense, and awkward conversations with her.
Thankfully, your father’s sour mood had shifted over the following hours. The coolers were packed with ice and filled with various drinks, the grill was scraped and prepped for the traditional barbeque meats and his beloved pool was crystal clear for him to properly show off to guests. 
You watched your boyfriend through the sliding glass as you worked alongside your mom in the kitchen, catching the moments where your dad would redirect the next task or drag him into one of his many long-winded stories. You couldn’t hear what was said, but by the way, your dad was waving around his hands and how Jake would nod along when he was unable to get a word in,  you could only imagine.
Jake was always more than polite but you could have sworn you saw a few genuine smiles flash across his face. 
“So you never told me about why your clothes were on the deck this morning,” your mother finally broke the lack of conversation between you. 
“Oh… I decided to go for a swim,” you muttered, still scrambling in your thoughts for a conceivable explanation as you sliced the vegetables for one of the dipping trays. 
“In your pajamas?”
“I couldn’t sleep so I went out to dip my feet in the water and I accidentally slipped in. I didn’t want to bring my wet clothes inside.” It wasn’t necessarily a lie, but it sure wasn’t the full truth either.
“Hmmm,” She hummed quietly to herself and you weren’t entirely convinced if she bought your story,  “Well, I hope the deck light didn’t bother you too much. That thing has been acting funny ever since your dad tried to install a motion detector on the darn thing. I had to tell him to shut it off because every bug and critter was turning it on all night long.”
“It turns on by itself?”
“Sometimes. Now, your dad will fight me on this,” she raised her index finger in the air to emphasize her point, “but I think the wiring got messed with. And he won’t let me hire anyone to fix it. You know how he is.”
“That I do.” 
Relief washed over you knowing that faulty wiring was the most likely reason for the light being flipped on last night. She was either exceptionally talented at lying and dodging the issue or your parents had no clue about your risky endeavor last night. You hoped for the latter.
——
Not long after you finished getting ready, family members and friends of your parents trickled into the vacation home. Jake found his spot at your side as you introduced him around. Conversations became repetitive with the signature topics of small talk. Where are you going to school? What career are you looking into? Where did you meet Jake? Where are you living now? 
You settled into chairs after making your rounds to talk to everyone with a couple of beers in, and you spotted someone you wished you would never see again.
She really invited him. What the hell?
Without thinking it through, you sprung up from your chair and stormed over to her, tapping her aggressively on the shoulder.
“You invited Dylan?!”
Your high-school ex-boyfriend that you had broken up with years before. The same Dylan that your mother couldn’t stop bragging about at dinner the other night. 
She didn’t seem to express the same level of shock as you, keeping her calm demeanor. “Of course! His family is in town for the week!”
A thin smile fixed on her mouth, unwavering in its facade. 
Jake had walked up to you, making you remember that you had left him with no explanation for your outburst.
“Jacob! Let me introduce you to someone,” her voice airy with not a single hint of worry.  She turned to signal to your ex to come over to you. 
He looked like the walking embodiment of a fraternity house with his pressed salmon-colored shorts draped over his ridiculous tan, a button-down shirt rolled at the elbows, loafers inappropriate for the occasion, and a too-expensive pair of sunglasses he would be sure to break before the season was over. He walked over, striding with an unmatched air of arrogance and obnoxious ego that always rubbed you the wrong way.
“It was so nice of you to come! It’s been way too long. I love catching up with your mother,” she beamed in excitement, brushing his arm with her hand. 
He swept his fingers through his overly maintained haircut as he scanned over your body, instantly making you uncomfortable in your skin.  
Locking eyes with you, “Wow…it has been way too long. How many years has it been, Y/N? We should really catch up.”
That’s when you heard Jake clear his throat louder than necessary, making his presence known as if it had been ignored. 
“Oh, I almost forgot! Dylan, this is Jacob. Jacob, this is Dylan, Y/N’s high school sweetheart.” Your mother gestures between them with her hand. 
“Mom!” 
She threw her hands up defensively with an additional eye roll.
“This is my boyfriend, Jake,” you corrected with a sharp hiss through your teeth. Although, no one seemed to notice or even care. 
“My bad, man,” Dylan laughed, smacking Jake’s shoulder which sent him lurching forward enough to almost spill his beer. “I thought you were like her friend or something.”
Jake’s face didn’t reflect the same humor, giving your ex a glaring side eye that wasn’t caught by anyone but you. You shared a look, communicating in your non-verbal way. Your eyes expressed a sincere apology knowing that he was reaching his limits with these people. His softened, paired with a half smile, reassuring you that everything between you was okay. 
Despite some of the weird, uncomfortable interactions throughout the afternoon, you and Jake managed to enjoy most of the day. You were able to relax together, drinking beers that were stashed in coolers and even cool off in the pool.
When food was finally ready, you offered to make plates for the both of you. Every summer staple food in existence was spread out across the outdoor table. Your mother made sure of it. Everything from grilled hot dogs to cheeseburgers, half a dozen different kinds of chips, stacks of corn on the cob, all the condiments you could think of, and even an assortment of sides and salads that were brought from multiple people.
You grabbed two paper plates, finding comfort in the generous display in front of you, and started digging in. 
“Hey, baby.” 
Your head shot up to see Dylan staring at you from across the large table. Definitely not the person you expected to say those words to you. 
“Don’t call me that,” snapping at the pet name he didn’t deserve to use, clearly annoyed with his presence. You didn’t even want to look at him, instead focusing on the trays of food in front of you.
He chuckled in response, unbothered by your unfriendly tone, “You still mad?“
You scoffed, “Mad? We haven’t dated in years, Dylan.”
He walked around the table, now side by side with you, and leaned in, closer to your body than you would ever want, “I think we should get together for old time’s sake. Whaddya’ say?” 
He swept his hand across the middle of your bare back, making you recoil instantly from the feeling like it was a hot branding iron burning the surface of your skin.
You swatted his hand away, “Quit it!” 
“Oh come on. Remember all the good times we had together?” He reached out to brush your hair from your face which made you flinch away once more. Every touch made you uneasy, borderline nauseous. You finally turned to look at him, only to see his smug face staring back at you. 
“Stop. Not only can I not think of anything worse, but I’m also in a relationship, remember? Jake? You just met him less than an hour ago. Or did you forget that, too?
“You can’t be serious right now,” he huffed, rolling his eyes as he placed his hands on your arms, “Him?! Y/N, You gotta be joking.”
“Yes, him. Now just leave me alone, okay?” You broke free from his grasp, storming off with your plate of food, forgetting that you were supposed to make two. You were just desperate to get away as fast as you could. 
“Your loss, princess!” He yelled out, only to be drowned out by the loud music being played through the outdoor speakers.
You felt guilty, even though you had done nothing wrong. That man was a snake, slipping through tall grass, willing to strike when given the right opportunity. 
You saw Jake leaning back on the flattened deck chair with one hand behind as his legs stretched out across the lawn. His tanned skin glowed beautifully in the late afternoon sun. Although his ethereal beauty was plagued with the new scowl resting on his face, his usual calm, positive nature suddenly transformed. Something was clearly bothering him as he scanned over the groups of people mingling happily in your parent’s backyard.
Before you could walk over to him, your mother roped you in, cornering you with no way of escape. It was at this point in the evening that the few margaritas she had consumed were starting to swirl around in her head, conjuring up ideas that should never see the light of day.
“Hey! I’m glad I caught you. I was talking, and Dylan’s parents were hoping that we could all get together over dinner soon. They’ve missed you so much.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea, Mom.” You tried to let her down easily, especially with how defensive she could get over things like this. 
She brushed you off with a wave of her hand, indicating she had her mind set on the idea, “Don’t be silly. It will be great!”
“Mom…” 
Jake wrapped his fingers around your forearm and dragged you along with him, breaking you from the conversation to escort you off the deck. 
“Jake, wait!” You went to pull your hand from his grasp, but he didn’t release his hold on you.
“Come with me,” he replied in a stern voice, avoiding looking back as he continued to drag you across the yard towards the side door leading into the mudroom of your parent’s house. 
“What are you doing?” You filtered through the last few hours wondering what you could've done to upset him. Sure, the weekend had been filled with uncomfortable and tense moments regarding your parents, but you questioned what you did specifically to make him act like this. 
Well, maybe he did see you and your ex together. 
“Get inside,” he muttered through his teeth as he lightly shoved you inside the small room. 
Jake flipped the deadbolt on the door, locking it from the inside, leaving you both alone in the dimly lit space. You turned around to face him and leaned against the washing machine with arms crossed over your chest.
“What’s your deal?” You huffed in frustration.
A smile threatened to tug on the corners of his mouth as he took a few strides between you to close the short distance. He centered himself in front of you while wrapping his hand around your hip to tug your body forward into his. 
Unlike the rest of the house, there was zero air-conditioning in this room due to the second door blocking it from the inside, so the stagnant humid air was causing sweat to form on the surface of your skin within the short time spent here. 
“Jake-“ you started to protest knowing what thoughts were filling his mind as his eyes flooded with lust as he looked down at your body. You were relieved when you realized anger wasn’t the reason for the two of you to break off so suddenly. 
“I think you owe me,” he said matter-of-factly, swiping the pad of his thumb across your bottom lip, tugging it down slightly. His tongue peeked out to wet his own lip before his coffee-brown eyes flicked up from your mouth to meet yours. 
“For what?” You tried to fight the giggles that were bubbling from your throat when he leaned in to litter your jawline with soft, delicate kisses. There was definitely something more to them than just the notion of it being a simple romantic gesture. 
Jake’s kisses became more intense as flicks of his tongue and teeth dragged across the sensitive area, and you started to lean into them. Muffled laughter heard from the pool deck outside snapped you out of your daze, “We can’t do this here. Are you crazy?!”
You playfully shoved his chest with your palms, creating enough space to look at him once more. His slightly hazy, half-lidded eyes scanned down the features of your concerned face. His fingers that were resting under your chin slid behind your neck to tangle within the tresses of your hair. 
He curled them into a soft fist, tugging your hair from the scalp to tilt your head back while whispering, “maybe just a little.” 
The admittance fluttered teasingly across your open lips, given how he hovered ever so slightly above them.
Without giving you another chance to fight him on the idea, he crashed his lips into yours with an unexpected passion. You immediately tasted the bitterness from the beers on his tongue that he had been sipping throughout the afternoon before it dissolved into his own sweetness. 
His body melted seamlessly into the curves of yours, pushing you back into the washing machine. The cold metal surface made you jump momentarily when it touched the exposed skin, but the way Jake’s lips were slipping effortlessly across yours tossed the thought from your head altogether. 
One hand made a path down the length of your body, fingertips skimming along the smooth planes of your back until he met the swell of your ass, and gave it an aggressive squeeze while his tongue danced across yours. 
The other massaged your breasts over the slightly damp fabric of your swimsuit, sweeping a thumb over the hardening sensitive buds that were eager for stimulation. He felt your breath catch in your throat from the sensation of him teasing you through the thin material.
He hooked the same thumb under the band of your top and yanked it up and over your breasts, letting them bounce and fall, leaving the strings of your bikini still tied across the top of your chest. 
“Fuck, you’re so beautiful,” he breathed into the crook of your neck, letting the warm air fan across the flushed skin. 
He squeezed them now that they are exposed to his touch while sucking and biting on the peak of your shoulder, along the expanse of your neck to just below your ear while his hand trailed down your stomach. 
The insecurities that had been tucked away, now recently dug up to the surface with your mother’s passing comments over the weekend, made you shift uncomfortably under his touch-almost wanting to wiggle away. 
Jake noticed your strange behavior instantly and pulled back slightly to gauge the look that you were failing to hide on your face. In an attempt to distract him, you tried to guide his head back into your neck, but he didn't take the bait that easily. 
He was reading you carefully, knowing exactly what thoughts were circling around in your head. 
“Hey,” Jake tipped your chin to look up at him, “Don’t worry about any of that, okay?”
You nodded in response, ashamed you had let what she had said bother you enough to ruin this. He wasn’t buying it. His face contorted into a look of concern, worried that he had upset you. 
“I’m serious. You’re breathtaking,” he emphasized even in his hushed tone. Drawing into a playful side smile, he added, “Smoking hot. Like, ‘why are you even with me?’ type of gorgeous.”
You smiled back, letting your self-consciousness fade away as you embraced all the admiration your boyfriend had for you. Jake had always managed to make you feel all of those things over the course of your relationship. He made sure to remind you every chance he got. 
You rolled your eyes and scoffed at the shower of compliments he was giving you.
“What? You need proof? Is that it?”
 There he goes, pulling you back into the moment with him. 
He takes your hand and guides it to his crotch, placing it right over his cock that had been throbbing wildly under the restraint of his shorts. You had been so disoriented by the sudden change in events that you hadn’t really noticed until now. You gasped when he squeezed your hand around him, making you truly aware of how badly he wanted you. 
“See what you do to me?” He groaned loudly while bucking his hips forward into your palm. 
Feeling and seeing how turned he had become on him ignited a new wave of heat within your core. Your pussy clenched, tightening around the void, wishing he was fucking you right now instead of teasing and wasting precious time. 
He giggled at your impatience when you clawed at him desperately, frantic in your movements while trying to undo the button of his shorts. 
The heat and wetness of his tongue licking across your tingling skin and how it soothed the love marks and nips sent another rush of excitement through your body. You squirmed and writhed under his touch, blissfully distracted from stripping him of his clothing. 
You thought for a second that he might just dive under the band of your bikini bottoms to where you needed him the most, but he instead continued to rub his fingers over your covered heat between your shaky, unstable legs. 
“You were a very bad girl last night.” The hushed whisper flitted against the shell of your ear, causing a shudder to roll through your spine. 
The images of you riding him, taunting and edging your sweet, needy boyfriend flashed rapidly in your mind. Jake pressed his fingers with more volition, making sure to focus on your most sensitive spots. 
“Jake…please,” you whined as you gripped tighter around his wrist, begging him for more. 
“You think you deserve more, pretty girl?” His middle finger rubbed right over your hidden clit, giving you just the right amount of friction to lure you in past the point of no return. 
He lifted his hand from between your legs, bringing them up to brush the contours of your puffy, tingling lips, “Open.”
You obeyed, allowing him to wet them along your flattened tongue. He shuddered once you wrapped your lips around his fingers, sucking and twirling your tongue to mimic the many times you had pleasured something else of his. 
Jake groaned while pulling them from your mouth with a soft pop!, smiling in satisfaction before slipping his hand underneath your swimsuit. You nearly jumped when his middle finger slid through your folds and brushed over your aching clit without any of the barriers this time. 
“Mmmm, so wet and ready for me.” He rolled his fingers in slow, deliberate circles, collecting your building wetness before teasing your entrance. “We could go back right now, baby. I should leave you dripping for me.”
He stilled his movements. 
“Is that what you want, sweetheart?” 
You whined into his chest out of desperation. Please, God, no.
He chuckled proudly to himself, finally dipped his middle finger into you. The pitiful whine evolved into a shameless moan as you threw your head back. 
“I just love seeing how much you fall apart from touching you.”
Feeling even more needy and eager, your hand travels down his body to slide under his swimsuit until you’re interrupted with him grabbing your wrist.
“Oh no, baby, this time it’s my turn,” Jake teased into your ear, voice heavy and dripping like it was coated in a sinful syrup of desire. He was pulling you in with each word fluttering over the shell of your ear, coaxing you in.
For a fleeting second you realized just how vulnerable and exposed you were. You knew you should have fought the idea harder, pushing it off until you were actually alone together. Last night was risky enough, but this was broad daylight with plenty of other people around. You both escaped last night out of sheer luck. This time however, you would never be able to face them again if you were caught, but the way he was making you feel, it pushed the concern completely out of your head. 
You could never get enough of him and you wanted more. Anything more. He was the drug you would never get enough hits of. Intoxicating and addicting in every sense of the words. 
He played you, curling his fingers to brush against the hidden spot as his thumb continued to rub your clit. That familiar feeling was building with each expert movement. He knew exactly what you needed and how much of it. 
“Jake…” The hoarse whisper mumbled past your lips, “I need to feel your mouth.”
He reluctantly pulled his fingers from inside you, leaving you empty and immediately aching for their presence again. 
“Turn.” He guided your body around so you were now bent over the top of the washing machine. The metal appliance lets out a series of clanging noises as panels bend from you adjusting your body over it.
 His open hand pressed into your back, centered between your shoulder blades, pushing your bare chest onto the cold, smooth surface. He dragged it down until his fingers hooked around your bathing suit, and pulled them down the length of your legs with a swift motion. 
Without a warning he smacked your ass. Hard. The sharp, unexpected sting made you cry out, and you would guess that a print of his hand was already starting to rise on the supple flesh.
“Jake!”
“That one’s for what you did to me last night.”
That one was deserved.
 You felt him lower to his knees behind you. Just like how he tended to your neck, he licked a teasing stripe across the tender area that had been struck by his hand, soothing it with the velvet warmth of his mouth. 
Your body reacted way before your mind was able to catch up and you leaned back into him, wanting him to explore even more. 
“A little impatient?” Jake mumbled into your skin and you felt his teeth as his smile spread across your cheek. 
He repeats the same teasing motion of his fingers between your legs while biting into the thickness of your ass. A low, rumbling growl rips from his throat when you buck into his hand.
He peppers open-mouth kisses over ass and down your legs while he makes his way closer and closer to where you really need him. 
Even though you experienced it just the night before, when his tongue licks over your heat, it makes you nearly dissolve completely. He’s bracing you with his arms wrapped around your legs as he's diving face first into your pussy. 
“Oh fuck!” You curse out into the room, gripping onto the top edge of the appliance to ground you to Earth.
He wastes no time working on his tongue flicking across your clit in the patterns that make you unravel above him.
You try to muffle out the sounds coming out by covering your mouth with your hand while trying to hold on to the machine. He shakes his head back and forth, rubbing the bridge of his nose against you with more aggression, abandoning the idea of edging you slowly like he normally would. There wasn’t time for that. He ate into you with an unbridled enthusiasm. You were at his mercy while you frantically tried to chase the high. 
Jake pulls his face out from between your legs and stands up, and you hear the sound of him tugging his shorts off his legs. You turned to look at him and saw your wetness coat the bottom half of his face before it’s wiped away with the back of his hand. 
His long hair was matted down with sweat and a singular piece had stuck across his forehead. He was grinning wildly, pulling his flushed, red cheeks into a devilish smile as he looked back at you. All while pumping himself with long strokes of his hand. 
He adjusts himself behind you. Maybe he was inspired by you from last night, but he tipped his head down. Opening his mouth, he allowed a pool of spit to drip over his pouty lips, dripping slowly onto his shaft before being spread with a flick of his wrist. The action nearly makes you fall apart right then and there. 
He decided to tease you by dragging the head of his cock against your overly sensitive clit before slipping into you, making your head bob and fall forward. It was agonizingly slow with the way he eased his length into you, stretching you inch-by-inch. There was a sting with each push, but melted into pleasure as he drew out slightly to glide back in, coating his cock in the wetness he had created with you.
“Fuck!” He cried out as he bottomed out deep inside your pussy. “You feel…” freezing his movements with an almost painfully tight grip on your waist, careful not to lose the control he had. He let out a shaky breath that was a borderline whine, “baby…you feel so good.”
Your vision was clouded, blurred and by how tightly you had clamped your eyes shut during all this, making you unable to focus on anything else but Jake. Nothing else mattered. 
  Despite being mostly naked, you were burning hot and the sweat had coated in a layer across your forehead, wetting the hair to your temples and even the back of your neck.
His one hand was secured to its placement on your hip, keeping himself steady inside you. It took a moment for him to regain his composure before he rocked into you with a building rhythm. 
Jake always loved to feel you, to take his time exploring every single part of your body, to taunt you with shallow strokes and then plummeting deep into your pussy, to fill you up entirely. It was sensual and careful, deliberate in movements, especially with the angle he was fucking you at right now. 
He pauses again while up to the hilt, taking a minute to trace his fingers delicately down his favorite features of your back. You turn your head to peak over your shoulder to see him admiring you from this rare angle. 
Just like you, sweat had made the loose strands of hair stick to the sides of his face and wrap around his neck. It had begun to drip down his tanned chest in little trails towards his stomach, reminiscent of last night with how the water from the pool cascaded down his toned body when you kneeled before him. 
“You look so fucking good taking me like this,” he praised, drawing you out of your wandering thoughts. 
“Only for you, Jakey.”
You immediately sense the shift in his demeanor. His eyes instantly darkened, almost obsidian when paired with his already lust-blown pupils, and not only with that lust, but something more. The very thing that drove him to drag you here resurfaced between you. 
“Oh is that right? What about your dreamboat Dylan?” He emphasized with a forceful thrust, hitting your cervix hard enough to make you cry out. 
There it is. Jealousy. 
You couldn’t help but roll your eyes and scoff, “No.”
A grin creeped over his mouth before he tucked his bottom lip between his perfect teeth, dragging it out slowly before asking, “You sure, baby?”
He continued, “Because he was acting like he was the best fuck you’ve ever had in your life.”
“That’s not true.” You turned to look away, thinking he was done taunting you with your ex. 
He leaned over, nipping at your earlobe before asking in a tone that was coated heavily in his blatant cockiness, an ego that showed it face ever so often, “Really? He ever eat that sweet pussy?”
You could barely pull together a coherent thought with Jake slamming his cock into you. You scrambled hopelessly through faded memories of the distant, tumultuous relationship for a real answer, but you already knew. The thing was, he already knew as well.
You had spent countless sleepless nights tangled together under the sheets sharing stories of your past lives, learning each other in every intimate way possible. You expressed how he was the best lover you had ever had. One might argue that divulging that to him might have gotten you in trouble in a time like this. 
“I..uh.. oh fuck,” you huffed between thrusts, “not really.”
“What a shame, sweetheart. Never got to taste you coming on his tongue,” Jake twirled your hair around his wrist while grabbing a firm hold and yanked you up against his sticky chest. You screamed out. You no longer had a stable hold of the washing machine, leaving you at his mercy once again.
One hand desperately reached out to balance on the edge while the other latched onto his arm.
He bit into the flesh of your shoulder, this time hard enough to leave impressions on the skin, and a loud moan erupted from your chest. “He ever fuck you hard like this? Shaking and crying on his cock?”
You shook your head. Tears were starting to spill from your eyes, running down your hot, sweaty cheek. He then loosened his grip on your hair to wrap his hand around your throat. 
“I wanna hear it, baby.”
You rarely saw this side of Jake, and you were drowning in it. It usually made its appearance after a night of heavy drinking or even rough makeup sex when you had gotten into a fight. Each time seared into your brain, wishful for it once again. 
“He didn’t.” you spat through clenched teeth.
“No, no. Tell me. Did he ever make you cum while fucking you?”
You whimpered a barely audible, “…no.”
His hand whipped and connected with your ass, this time the opposite side from earlier. “I didn’t hear you.” Another thrust. “Louder.”
“No!” 
The sheer volume of your scream surprised you and you prayed silently that you weren’t heard by others. The small, cramped room had been filled with obscene sounds of him smacking into you along with the pitchy whines and moans tumbling from your mouth. 
“That’s my girl,” he says softly, making you tighten around him as you climb towards your next peak. 
“Jake,” your plea was barely heard over the slapping of his thighs into your ass. You weren’t sure how much longer you could last. You were beyond spent. Every muscle screamed from the strain you were placing on them. 
“I know, sweetheart. You can handle just a bit more for me, can’t you?”
Your current state wouldn’t allow you to answer him with a real response. You give a pathetic nod, hoping he wouldn’t punish you again. You were fighting your own body at this point. 
He slows to a more gentle pace, one that you were familiar with, knowing you are close to nearing your limit by your labored panting. He takes your hand and guides them both between your legs, making you feel his cock slip between your spread fingers.
“You feel that?” He rocks his hips forward in a deliciously slow, languid stroke so every slicked feature, from how thick he is to the prominent veins that run up his length, brushes your fingertips with his hand over yours. 
He mutters softly into the tacky skin on the nape of your neck, “That’s us, babygirl. And no one but me will ever fuck you like this. Remember that.”
Your sweet boyfriend’s filthy words bounced around in your brain while you felt him harden even more than you thought possible. He was right. No one would ever make you feel the way he did. 
You would have thought you were the one falling apart but now his hips were beginning to falter slightly in rhythm. You’re tempted to look over your shoulder again from the sounds passing through his kiss-swollen lips. He didn’t notice you staring. He’s too busy watching himself fuck you until he drops his head back, allowing his eyes to roll behind heavy lids with tipped, drawn brows and his mouth opened in a perfect “o”. 
Seeing him like this, lost in his own ecstasy, enveloped in the feel of you, sends you over the edge of your building orgasm. Another stroke of his cock against your most sensitive spots brings the wall crashing down. 
Your vision blacks out, but splotches of color flash behind your eyelids while the waves pull you under its unforgiving force. Your pussy tightens in a vice grip around him as you ride it all out, biting down on your hand to muffle the sounds ripping from your chest. 
Jake lets out a string of curses as his dull nails drag down your spine, leaving another mark of his passion on your body. Something else to remember this by.
“I’m gonna…” 
He wraps his arm around you and buries his forehead into your back and his thrusts become sloppy. You know that you’re with him but you couldn’t feel farther from your body at the same time. Your mind and senses were fogged from the drunken stupor of your orgasm. 
The warmth of his cum filling you up drags you back to the present, splayed and disheveled over a washing machine with Jake wrapped around you. His entire body shook uncontrollably as his thrusts slowed to a final stop within you, until you both slump down over the machine. 
“I love you,” Jake whispers in a raspy, breathless voice after a minute of the both of you taking the time to come down from the high. 
“I love you, too,” you giggle back, “but where the fuck did that come from?”
He laughs with you, “I have no idea. Too much?”
“I don’t think so, but we need to get out of here and back before someone comes looking.”
You quickly pull your bathing suits back on and try to adjust and clean up the best you can. Jake was a mess, looking like he just went out for a run. His hair tangled and frizzy, body flushed bright red and glistening under a layer of sweat. You looked about the same, with the addition of marks developing on your neck, scratches down your back and imprints on your ass. 
You walked out together towards the sounds of the party that had continued through your absence. Thankfully, everyone had consumed a few drinks and been too involved in their own conversations to even notice you. 
That was until you locked eyes with Dylan.
He was sitting on the edge of the pool, drinking a beer when he saw the two of you. At first he smiled until he really saw you, then it dropped when everything registered in his brain. He glanced back and forth between you and Jake, searching for answers. 
Jake simply winked at your high-school ex boyfriend before grabbing your hand to walk inside. You looked back to see him glaring at you with a satisfying mixture of anger and shock, maybe even disgust.
He leans in and says with a smug tone to his voice,“I don’t think he will be bothering you again.”

Tumblr media
WELL HELLO EVERYONE. So last time I was gonna update I got saddled with work last minute as I’m sure most of you were able to deduce, but today is a religious holiday so I have the day off! Kidding, I still have to work, but remotely! Generous, God-fearing kings!
ANYWAY, we’re done with the spare updates and back at the main house, which apparently I haven’t updated since February, so I highly suggest you take a re-gander at the last updates here & here. Tldr; Cyneswith had a hot, out of nowhere affair with Kennedy Cox as well as JSTWG (Jon Smith Tricou Wannabe Geezer), Sophie finished her LTW/had a mental breakdown, the kids grew up and we realized I didn’t fix Sugar’s borked Don genes correctly, and D’vorah died💔
So I think we should kick off this post with the moment we’ve all been waiting for..
Tumblr media
..did Cyneswith come through for her child for ONCE, evening out Don’s horrid genes???
Tumblr media
She of course DID NOT. 
BRO. THE ONE FUCKING THING I LIKE FROM THE DON TEMPLATE IS THE EARS, AND THAT’S THE ONE THING SUGAR DIDN’T GET. CYN ISTG
Tumblr media
Well, at least what Sugar lacks in looks, he lacks even more in not being a freak. As Sophito plays with his little robot plushie peacefully-
Tumblr media
-Sugar is reenacting scenes from his parents’ marriage. 
-How could you cheat on me with our robot-servant, Cyneswith?? -I’m sorry, Donnie, I just can’t help being a fornicating SLUT!
HEY, THAT’S STILL YOUR MOTHER!
-I DON’T CARE, I WISH SHE HAD STAYED DEAD!!!
Tumblr media
Well that’s one trait you share with a couple people around here, namely auntie Shaj.
-So, dad, I’m the youngest, least qualified mayor in history. Swelling with parental pride yet?
Tumblr media
-Oh, that doesn’t begin to cover it! -Really?! -Of course! My Cynnie, already at 12 lovers AND resurrected, with her whole life ahead of her! She has exceeded all my expectations!
Tumblr media
-I’m the goddamn mayor and it’s Cyn’s whoring you’re proud of?!? -Oh, I’m sorry, Shajar, being elected mayor of the empty neighborhood founded and populated by your family is a major political accomplishment! 
Tumblr media
Yes, Shajar, follow the example of Cyn, whose accomplishments are departing the house in an orderly fashion as we speak.
-Sup kid. -I will cut your penis off one day.
Tumblr media
-WAAAAAH I CAN’T STUDY -Why not? -The parade of my mother’s lovers distracted me!!! -Just ignore them! Works for your dad, haha. -FUCK YOU AND YOUR SEMI-FUNCTIONAL FAMILY, SOPHITO
Tumblr media
-Sophitô, toi needoix hòmewòrk helpoix? -No thanks, grandpa. -Nònsensè! Je helpoix mon grandbébé. Sò, as je süre toi knowoix, après eàch la phràse, toi add le ‘huhu!’ -Grandpa, I’ve told you, last time I did that they sent me to the nurse. -Imbéciles!!! Toi listén to moi, Sophitô, et toi will hàve une vie tres successfulè, just like moi!! Je ònly got firéd trois timés!!!
Tumblr media
-So honey, after every sentence, you add a ‘🌸’ or a ‘💗’!🌸 -Why are you here?? -You rolled the want to get homework help!💗 -Not from you! -Well I’m sorry sweetie, but daddy is still recovering from iVan’s latest murder attempt!🌸
Tumblr media
Indeed, iVan is still on a mission to rid the world of Don, which honestly, you could have completed before he cursed us with his face template, iVAN. 
-𝙱𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛;
Well, you’re not wrong.
Tumblr media
Let’s check in with the pets! Ferra and Torr are doing their best to protect the teachers from having to lay eyes on the Wyatt/Cyn influenced homeworks, good kitties-
Tumblr media
-and it’s time for our uhh.. ‘lovely’ Valentina, who beat up her own mother causing her to run away, to bring dog gen 3 into the world!
Tumblr media
The lucky guy is Moody here, what an appropriate name, I’m so sorry for what is about to befall you. 
Tumblr media
Aww look at Abbey chilling by the fountain❤️
-I sleep so well knowing Valentina is no longer my problem. Where did I go wrong with that kid?
Nowhere! She’s just a monster, it’s not your fault!
Tumblr media
Exhibit A.
-Fuck you, Alcibiades, I don’t care that you’re cowardly, friendly, AND an elder, we’re enemies for life!
Moody: If I leave now and run it, I can be back at the pound in 2 hours!
Tumblr media
-It’s ok, Moody, you’re gonna tame that shrew, baby! Just like I tamed Shajar!
Wasn’t it the other way around, because I kinda remember Shajar pathetically chasing you for 10 years?
-Don’t you have something stupid to do instead of shitting all over my point?
I sure do!
Tumblr media
-I have had it with Shajar’s dumbass noisy helicopter!!! I hope it crashes!!!💗
It’s ok Cyn, you’ll feel better soon, let’s knock out some more lovers! 
Tumblr media
It’s our old friend, Probably Jeff, and he brought along JACK DO’S OPPRESSIVE MAITRE’D MOTHER. WHAT THE FUCK HOW MANY SONS DO YOU HAVE 
-Just the two, and I’m pimping them both out for the price of one!
Well that’s an amazing gigolo deal, we’ll take it!
Tumblr media
Ok let’s get this over with, Cyn, Probably Jeff bores my tits off.
Tumblr media
-I’m in love with you but I’m not happy about it!!!🌸
Ya me neither, ok thank you, PJ, you can fuck off now, we’re on a timetable here before Don comes back from work.
Tumblr media
Time to knock out Jon Smith Tricou Wannabe Geezer! 
-Gross!💗
Cyn what’s going on with you, he even has the grey hair you’re disgustingly into!
Tumblr media
-My heart belongs to another geezer today!🌸
Ya NO, the goddamn butlers are so glitched, don’t even think about it, let’s get the JSTWG shit over with, you’re like 1 point away from love.
Tumblr media
After all this time on simblr it’s nice to know I’m still capable of making innovations left and right, this time by taking the worst ‘falling in love’ pic in history.
-It’s been nice falling in love with you, JSTWG.💗 -A pleasant way to spend an afternoon. -Let’s just stand there for a while, motionless, doing the breathing animation loop.🌸
While the passion is practically dripping off the screen-
Tumblr media
-Abbey grows up, stinkily! 
-I love stink!
I know! You’ll always be my favorite girl❤️
Tumblr media
-How many times do I have to catch you before you stop being a deranged robotfucker??? -Let’s find out, huhu!💗
Don will you LET IT GO ALREADY, you’ve become so tiresome with your constant childish tantrums!
Tumblr media
Even iVan can’t take this anymore, he’s out in the rain risking water damage, if anything happens to him you’re paying for the repairs, asshole!
-𝚂𝚞𝚋𝚓𝚎𝚌𝚝: 𝙰𝚋𝚋𝚎𝚢. 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗: 𝙲𝚞𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛;
She is she is!
Tumblr media
While Don is away, Cyn will play! We’re on such a roll and Cyn’s needs are so full thanks to that snapdragon crap Jojo has filled the house with, that I’m like why not try a blind date??
Tumblr media
And who do we get, but the chef of that diner we go to troll for geezers! He’s been watching Cyn romancing his peers for so long, time to get in on the action! 
Tumblr media
The voodoo doll is seriously the best thing to ever happen to me this entire legacy.
Tumblr media
Kaching! We’ll be falling in love with you tomorrow, keep your schedule open! 
Tumblr media
-There my mother goes again, how many geezers will ever be enough?! -iVan not looking too bad now, huh?
Tumblr media
-Oh you think you’re so cool, because you know what rockets are!
Tumblr media
-And because you have 3 best friends!
Tumblr media
-Well *I* will kill all our pets, and then you’ll be sorry! -No, Doctor Who, watch out!  -Are you listening to me?! -Ya ya, you’re being a grandpa knock-off but even that doesn’t make him like you. -I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL!!!
Tumblr media
-Well well.. you said it couldn’t be done.
What?
-You said it was impossible. 
Me??
-You said I was crazy, that it was the hardest LTW! 
Oh ok, I see the confusion now, what I said was ‘it’s crazy how long Don’s dumb ass is taking to finish a simple career LTW’. Nevertheless, you finally did it, congrats Don! Now if you’ll excuse me and fuck off to bed, I’m kinda busy here.
Tumblr media
JOE CARR. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HE’S SUCH A JACKASS
Tumblr media
-Oh Joe, I feel we have the type of raw sexual chemistry that you just can’t force, unless you have a voodoo doll!🌸
Tumblr media
-Oh hell yes, let’s make out right here right now, and if we get interrupted for some reason let’s continue like nothing happened!
Tumblr media
-CYNESWITH FOR FUCK’S SAKE, YOU EVEN HAVE TO RUIN THE DAY I FINISH MY LTW??? UNBELIEVABLE I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU THIS IS THE LAST STRAW ISTG I’M DIVORCING YOU
Tumblr media
-MY CARPOOL’S HERE I’LL BE BACK WITH DIVORCE PAPERS!!!
Tumblr media

Tumblr media

Tumblr media

Tumblr media
..bringing us to a total of 15/20!!! We’re so close, Cyn, yay us, now it’s time to take care of Sophie’s uh.. issues.  
Tumblr media
-Hi yes, my turbocuck of a wife became mayor disturbing the whole dynamic of our relationship and it’s pissing me off, what kind of job can you offer me that’s even better? I’m thinking President of The Universe or something along those lines.
-What do you mean you’re a bakery?! My father-in-law said you’d definitely have a job for me! 
-No, I don’t want to make croissants!!! Stupid French Wyatt, God.
Tumblr media
-Well, I guess I’ll have to start from the bottom! -EW, WHAT IS THIS🌸 -It’s a job board, Cyn, I’m starting at level 1 of Law, it’s my new LTW! -WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK?! GROSS, I COULD NEVER STOOP SO LOW💗
Tumblr media

-To be fair, Sandy, you were one annoying, unpeaceful ghost. Now, Sugar-
-FUCK YOU JOJO YOU MURDERED ME!!!!🧟
-Right, I forced you go eat the cowplant cake. Idiot. Sugar I am VERY disappointed in you, haven’t I taught you the basics of managing a household? Who’s gonna take care of her? We already have too many pets!
-I’M NOT A PET!!!🧟
-Tell that to your stink fumes. I’m telling you right now, Sugar, she’s your responsibility, and if Valentina beats her up and she ends up running away I don’t even wanna hear it!
-Ok grandpa, I promise! Come on, mom, I’ll douse you with the garden hose!
-PLEASE JOJO, PLEASE MURDER ME AGAIN🧟
-I’d love to, Sandy, but those days are behind me. I’m normal now. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to return to the sidewalk tent I currently live in, waiting for fuckboi wolf to show up.
Tumblr media
-Any day now!
Don’t stop believing, Jojo!

What is the cast's deepest regret?
ohohohHO this is a fun one >:DDD
For Papyrus, I have two answers. If we’re talking about post-becoming evil to pre-pacifist end, it’s not having killed the village. Killing the village means Sans wouldn’t have died in vain, the underground would be free, and he would’ve been happy. I’ve seen some people say that Flowey is glad he’s changed, but I don’t think that fits him. Sure, he’s numb and hardened himself, but I wouldn’t say he wouldn’t want to go back. He talks about resetting the timeline once and for all at the end, and although I don’t really think of what he was doing, the theory I subscribe to the most is that he wanted to destroy the memories and live a life, possibly without memories. He’s not downright malicious. He’s just numb and bored. So same thing goes with Doggo! If pre-evil or post-pacifist, I think it would be agreeing to Sans’ plan for basically the same reasons.
For Sans, unless if a genocide run has been committed, it would be for going through with the plan as well. He was being rash and not thinking things through, and it brought the underground and his family so much pain. Even if they didn't fail, he pushed Paps to do something he didn't want to do and it probably wouldn't work to just kill 6 humans without anyone witnessing and knowing that a monster killed them. It was a selfish decision and made everyone unhappy.
Asriel’s is allowing the humans to leave. He misses Chara, but the biggest regret is letting humans he promised to protect fall and die. Sorry for the short answer for him but it’s pretty self explanatory.
Chara’s is pushing their family away. It isn’t one action so it might be cheating, but Chara believes that Toriel does not want to even associate with them because of their actions against humanity, and Asriel left a while ago, and sometimes it feels like it's their fault.
Napstablook? This is pretty hard since they’re just an anxiety bean. If Frisk kills Mettaton though, they’ll feel overwhelming guilt for telling you how to defeat Mettaton because /stars you weren’t meant to kill him they didn’t think you would do that–/
Mettaton? Probably that one time he wore a clashing outfit ngl.
Maddie would probably be falling into the core, although I do really like the idea of her seeing herself shattered across time and space and being like “hell yeah cryptid time” sorry that the cousins aren’t very serious like the rest ;-;
For Toriel, it would be creating the amalgamates, second place to marrying Asgore (/silly)
Speaking of Asgore, Asgore's would mostly be not being a stable enough family for their kids :[
Undyne’s is not making enough time for Alphys and how she kept pushing on, never leaving enough time for Alphys. Alphys would be wait guys just a second what the hell is going on? Why is- well that is the darndest thing I’ve seen. I have no idea what happened but for a bit my cursor just??? was in the middle of the letters??? I know it’s not my computer because the new text working fine now but the older text still is wonky. Idk how to describe it.
Update! When I copy paste it somewhere else it doesn’t do it. Must’ve been a weird format.
Back to Alphys. Probably whatever she did to make Undyne distance herself :(
Gaster’s biggest regret is easily being too busy with work. He could’ve just hired people, he could’ve made it so there were more positions under him doing work, or he could’ve stopped being so /stubborn/ and not overwork himself with things no one was even asking for. But he didn’t, and now his kids are dead.
It hurts when he remembers when he’s rejected the two. Every time he said “I’m too busy, sorry” to them when they asked to do something together. Every time he’s called Asriel to babysit his kids. I will admit that Gaster should’ve been better at managing his work and personal time, he’s a bit too harsh on himself.

something he likes of you - 4nemo edition (seperately)
notes: modern au, including both sfw and nsfw parts! pure fluff for the first half, under the cut is nsfw, minors please do not interact.
chat: hi, i have 7 drafts and 9 untouched asks right now, 14 of them were requested, man i'm updating so slow </3, some of them got me stuck with the plot. and i do have the work overload, when one is done the other goes in. i'm sorry to all those who has been waiting for too long! a must in the next week for me is to rush asap and publish at least 2 posts, one (sfw) is requested and the other (nsfw) is not, like a collab i joined?, stay tuned <3 and as always: minors please don't interact with nsfw posts.
▪-------▪
sfw branches:
Aether:
this boy loves seeing you in his comfy sweaters. like, he feels so special because you like wearing his clothes! how could you not? they are warm, they hug you perfectly and his scent is calming too 👉👈 though he doesn't admit out loud, he sure bites his bottom lip to prevent the noises of joy when he sees you wearing something of his. there are several times he walked in on you trying on the clothes he left in bed too, and oh, the way you struggled with how oversized a certain shirt was, so cute <3
Kazuha:
absolutely melts when you touch his hair, just run your fingers through it and tell him how soft it is and he's on heaven! he allows you do his hair whenever you want to, not minding whatever style you choose. of course on the other end, will you let him do yours too? he isn't really creative in this and often gives you some simple hairstyles but he's actually trying! we all approve his efforts right? also loves it even more when you attach some cute hairclips on him, doesn't care if it's childish because as long as you like it then he's happy! :D
Venti:
this is weird but... pillow fights! he's a funny guy, often coming up with some jokes before bedtime that usually end you both up in a fluffy war :') as long as you're okay with it, he's not going easy on you either (except when it's too harsh), whatever you do, there can only be one winner. if he wins, his prize isn't as much special as he only wants to oversleep with you in his arms until the next morning. if you win then it's up to you! please don't put up a real fightー
Xiao:
he likes to sneak out with you at 3 in the morning for a drink run, he personally will choose milk tea. at first it was your idea, but xiao could never deny you and he decided to indulge you once.... until you asked for it again, again, and again, and he grew to like it??? what an unhealthy habit, or hobby, of his </3 and yours too! don't look at me as if you're innocent >:( xiao also likes taking pictures of you (with your permission) during the moment because you just look so cute sipping your drink.
nsfw version:
Aether (dirty talk, degradation):
who expects a nice, innocent-looking boy like him can whisper the dirtiest things to you in bed? actions completely contrasting to his words, with soft gestures on your body, he playfully nibs at your ear and tells you all sorts of things that are so out of character for him. he loves how embarrassed you get from his vulgar words, they just make you become more submissive to him and he feels proud of his doing.
"hm? don't tell me you're turned on merely by what i told you just now? i've barely touched you..."
it's also a win-win if you're wearing only his shirt, because he can humilate you for creaming all over and dirtying his most favorite sweater.
Kazuha (hair pulling):
about his hair again... he finds it hot when you accidentally pull at his hair because of the overstimulation he's giving you, it just... turns him on even more?? his cheeky grin fades once you cry out an apologize that you didn't mean it, but don't worry, he enjoyed it and wishes you to do it again.
"sorry for what? you thought that hurt me? do it again, i would like to see you try."
keep pulling at it... his hair gets so messy the next morning. he will laugh at the way you keep apologizing for doing it too roughly, instantly getting cut off by a kiss and when he yanks at your hair to pull away... oh.
Venti (pillow riding, dirty talk)
pillow fights... who knows such an innocent act like that would end you up like this? you're clinging onto your boyfriend, sobbing into his neck as he guides you across the pillow. this is an unmentioned reward for him now that he won the fight... he knows that you want something better, something to fill you up but he's not giving it to you that easily, because you lost, it's only fair that you indulge him right?
"greedy... you want me that much? go on, prove just how much you're desperate for my cock."
▪-------▪
this is like torturing, him only allowing you to get yourself off on the pillow while hissing dirty things into your ears, talking about how low you can get for his body...
Xiao (oral - m receiving):
he made you trip on purpose, making you spill all the tea left over him. it was not much, but he used it as the excuse to "make it up to him" because you caused a mess... and here you are, on your knees and being face-fucked by him. you dig your nails into his thighs in order to keep yourself up and for him to slow down but he can push you back, forcing you to take his greedy dick and clicking his tongue whenever you gag. despite his rough pounding, his free hand is gently caressing your cheek and wiping your drool away.
"my fault? it should be your fault for asking for it so early in the morning..."
he watches you through half lidded eyes. sucking him like a straw like that, it's pathetic, you're pathetic, how can he not have dirty thoughts later when you two go out for a drink run again?
i take back my words when i said aether didn't seem like the type to swear for me

You and Shoto are the complete opposite bf and gf dynamic. He loves you with all his heart but he has no idea how it started he has no idea how someone as serious and boring as him, got someone as Bubbly and cute as you.
you and him were in your second year of U.A when you met you were part of the general studies class assigned to shotos group for a school wide project, at first he found you a bit…concerning you were clumsy, dismissive, and couldn’t focus on a subject. But after spending one on one time with you he was head over heels he thought you were an actual angel 😭
He likes explaining things to you because you always tell him how cool he is for knowing that stuff also he finds it really funny to figure out how ur brain thinks
“so you’re telling me the bald man did not invent capitalism in america”
“yes my love jeff Bezos did not invent capitalism”
“then why does he have the bitcoin didnt he like make it”
“that’s not the same thing sweetheart” he said as he placed a kiss on ur forehead
He also loves watching you do like little fashion shows for him like you’ll come back from the mall to your shared home or apartment and walk in with like dozens of bags. “sho do you wanna see all the stuff i got” “of course let me make room”
He gets very excited and takes pictures of you trying on every outfit. He’ll do the same thing with your hair or makeup one time you asked him to curl your hair because your curler broke and he was so focused. and he loves making your sheet facemasks cold for you when you guys do skincare days
he is more then willing to do the facemasks with you and he even puts on one of those cute hair pieces and you take like a bunch of photos for your instagram 😻
When you have to go to like formal events with him he likes matching outfits with you like not so obvious matching but someone will probably connect the dots
When he’s like sitting down doing taxes or the mortgage you say you wanna help but he doesn’t want to frustrate you so he just lets you sit in his lap and watch him or once in a while read him some titles of things
you update his instagram for him because he never posts unless it’s pictures of you or you and him together
whenever you have to go run errand shoto always try’s to plan his days off to align with your errand days. he figured it’s better to accompany so you don’t get lonely (and so that he’s not so worried about you)
He figured out he needs to run errands with you one day after this guy at the car shop overpriced you for an oil change he showed up at the car shop after you told him about it and started yelling at the guy 😭
‘m sorry sho, should’ve known he was making me pay too much or something.” “no, no it’s not your fault baby i could never be mad at you for something like this, that bastard has no shame.” he said giving you a kiss
you guys have those subscriptions where they bring fresh food and recipes to your doorstep because you’re not good at doing things without really detailed instructions but y’all still need to eat so when shoto can cook he does but sometimes he’s super busy at work so you end up doing one of the recipes the subscription gives you
if you guys have any dogs or cats and they cause trouble you’re probably the one that gets them out of trouble with shoto every time. “no baby no don’t put him in his crate he didn’t mean it he’s just a puppy” you say to shoto while struggling to hold your dog in your arms. “it was just an accident right bubs it’s just an accident? say sorry daddy” you say speaking to your dog while kissing him on his lil head.
shoto gets very jealous if you have pets together 😭 you’re just a very loving person but he wants that only for him.
you try to have conversations with him on current events without sounding completely stupid and he really appreciates that you try but he finds the conversations more cute then philosophical or analytical especially when you try to pronounce big words the article said

When You're At The Function F***in It UP And Your Man Walks In (Mayans)
Warnings: Implied sexual content, language, fighting
Characters: Angel, Coco, & EZ
A:
You’re on thin ice as it is sis. The little forest-green dress with the the deep plunge front and slit sides, the one that ended up purchased after your friends hyped you into it. That’s supposed to be in the trash according to one Angel Reyes. That, or reserved for private nights in.
Currently, it was wrapped around your form, helping you grab envious/admiring glances from around the room.
Your hips twisted to the layered bass, using the random behind you for stability. Your friend next to you cheered you on, her inner hype man on full display. There’s a breakdown in the song, and you lose yourself in the rhythm. Suddenly, you hear a familiar voice telling you “Superstar mama, say hi for the gram!”.
Your eyes zone in on Gilly, eyes wide. Everyone knew the Mayans rolled deep when they went anywhere. Where there was one, there was the rest. Especially when it came to the three musketeers and their wrangler, EZ.
Like you were busted sneaking back into your room as a teen, you froze. You narrowed your eyes at your friend who shrugged and mouthed sorry before disappearing.
“Gilly fuck off!” You hissed, moving away from the random. Your eyes scanning the crowded den.
Gilly laughed, tucking his phone into his kutte. “Ayy, don’t get mad at me,” he fluttered his eyelashes and fake coughed into his hand. “I don’t feel so good baby, I’m just gonna stay in tonight.”
You narrowed your eyes at his high-pitched mimicry of your last conversation with Angel.
He wasn’t even supposed to be there. Your friend swore she nixed all Mayan related invites, just for that night, on your behalf. All you wanted was to be able to turn up like you did pre-relationship. Normally you could at clubhouse parties since Angel trusted everyone there with his life. Any party outside of that was a gamble, and Angel could referee like he got a check for it.
Your eyes finally met said man’s across the party and a chill and went down your spine. Angel was propped against the wall across the way, eyes on you.
The rest of party fell away as you made your way over to him, schooling your features into your ‘what did I do daddy?’ pout.
“Nah, don’t come over with that lip poking now.” He shook his head, speaking when you were in range of him.
“And what are you doing wearing this fucking pillowcase out here? What did we talk about?” He pinched the thin strings of your dress.
“Nooo, don’t be mad. I was walking through my closet and it fell on me. Besides, you liked it when I modeled it for you.”
Angel scoffed, refusing to even entertain your comments. Coco chuckled from his spot next to his friend as he lit a cigarette.
“I thought you had club shit, I didn’t even know you’d be here.” You cringed as soon as the words left your lips, the shots you’d taken earlier still putting in work.
“I didn’t know you’d be here either. I thought you were sick. There’s some soup in the car that thought it was getting dropped off. Apparently wrong thoughts is the theme of the night.”
Petty by Angel Reyes.
“Soup? Baby, that’s so sweet.” You tried to pet his cheeks, but he was keeping you at bay.
“You aren’t even sick! Imma give that shit to Gilly.”
“Nooo.” You whined again, still trying to get him to let you touch him in some way.
“Get that bitch you were dancing with to buy you soup.” It was his turn to pout, but there was fire in his eyes as he tracked the guy you’d been dancing with. “It’s all he’s gonna be able to fucking eat in a minute anyways.”
“Sorry I blew up your spot ma, I just wanted to see my plug and get out.” Coco opened the palm of his hand not holding the cigarette and revealed a small bag of weed.
Angel snapped his head towards him, expression incredulous. “Don’t apologize to her, she lied to her man! She gave some puto hope! Get on code!”
“I love you hermano, but this is your guard dog-ass fault.” He pointedly ignored his friend’s heated glare as a girl in the doorway caught his interest, slipping away when she positively returned his gaze.
Angel’s attention was claimed by you once again when you pulled his head down towards you. You smothered his cheeks in kisses, to which he was physically unresponsive.
“I don’t know if I want you kissing on me querida.”
You rolled your eyes. Petty or not, everyone knew Angel’s life force depleted the longer he went without touching you. Even in your tipsy state you could see his fingers literally twitched with the need to take their rightful place on your hips.
“I just wanted to dance like I used to, and you don’t dance. Then you beat down guys who want to. You left me no choice, so let me have kisses.” You locked your arms around his waist, successfully avoiding his half-hearted attempts to push you away.
He scrunched up his face. “How the fuck am I catching strays in this situation? I’m the victim!”
“I’ll make it up to you later if you stop being a hatin’ wallflower and let me grind on you.” Your hips found the rhythm of the slow wind song thumping through the room.
His hands encircled your throat, drawing you closer to his person. Your pupils blew at his darkened expression, your lower half squirming with interest. He pressed his lips to yours, and the party faded to nothing again. His fingers flexed around your throat before closing just enough for him to draw the subtlest gasp from you. He felt it more than heard it over the noise, but it was enough.
He pulled away, licking his lips as you tried to remember where you were and if sin always tasted so good.
“You’ll make it up to me right now in the traitor’s car.” he held up keys you recognized to be Coco’s.
You started to protest on principle, but your body was going through withdrawals from a lite touch (for Angel). He could see the wheels turning, but you were letting him lead you out of the room, palm openly covering your ass.
“Who are you texting?” You asked, more annoyed with how his hands were no longer possessively roaming your body than a real answer.
He quickly pocketed his phone and returned his hands to you. “No one baby.” definitely not telling his boys via group chat to handle the random for him. “Stop worrying about anything other than how you’re gonna get around at work tomorrow.”
--------
C:
It was bad enough you couldn’t make it to New Orleans due to work, and Old Lady “responsibilities”, but this petty fight you were in with Coco was the kicker. You couldn’t even remember how it started, but it escalated back and forth until you weren’t speaking and were back staying at your apartment.
Poor Letty had been reduced to messenger girl, especially now that she had a car. A tug of war with your point being “she was my girl first, that’s how we met” and his point being “she’s my kid, blood first ma” had broken out. You didn’t know what was going to wear through its welcome first, your lack of Coco, or Letty’s patience, but they were competing. It wasn’t like Coco was doing any better if your daily updates from Letty were any indication. He was impatient, tense, chain smoking, and was getting closer and closer to going through with the apology call he was openly fighting.
It wouldn’t be long before you were back to getting your back arched out of shape if that was anything to go by. Not a moment too soon if your own miserable habits were anything to go by. You wanted to use the party to distract yourself, hoping Coco would break first the following day. If not, it was sure to be you.
You spent the whole day throwing your frustrations into decorating your best friend’s backyard. It looked like the French Quarter threw up its best years, but it was the perfect backdrop to lose yourself to some bounce music.
Normally, you could goad Coco into being your twerking post, and that resistance (plus his turned on bi-lingual hypeman compliments in your ear) was everything missing at the moment.
You pouted and weaved your way out of the crowd to your friend who was busy playing good hostess.
“Ah ah, no whining. If you wanna really make it Mardi Gras, shake your ass on a dude.”
You narrowed your eyes, annoyed she shut down and solved your problem before you could whine about it. “Coco hates that shit! Plus he’s spoiled me, it won’t even be the same.”
“Coco isn’t here, and it doesn’t have to be the same, it just has to do.” She turned away from where she’d filled two shot glasses for the two of you. “Besides, we both know your ass is gonna be all in his neck crying about how you miss him tomorrow. Do your thing before you go out sad.”
She clinked shot glasses with you, pleased at her accurate assessment and your sourpuss face.
“Fuck you.” You laughed, voice rough from the burn of the shot.
“Save that for Coco.” She smacked your ass, draped one of the many beaded necklaces hanging off her shoulder around your neck, and sent you on your way back to the crowd of writhing bodies.
It was nothing to find dudes to grind on, and you fell into the synergy. You couldn’t count how many fast paced songs you’d thrown it back to, or how many guys you’d danced with. The stack of beads you’d acquired gave some idea though.
Meanwhile, Coco’s skin was alive with the kind of anger he felt. He’d been seriously contemplating coming to your place and forcing out admissions of how his life wasn’t right without you in it. He couldn’t remember who or what started it, but it didn’t even matter when your scent was starting to fade from his pillow, and his touch starvation was acting up.
All of that went careening out the window when he stumbled upon a pouty Letty, huffing and sucking her teeth at her phone. Turns out you, and “everyone in the goddamn world but me” according to Letty, were at your friend’s blowout Mardi Gras party. Coco knew it was your favorite holiday, but it was news to him that you had any plans since you couldn’t officially go this year. News he didn’t welcome at all, since all of the videos he saw you in you were throwing (his) your ass on multiple dudes. Did you think he wouldn’t fight everyone???
He was already on his bike before he’d even registered leaving the house. He sent a quick summoning call in his boy’s group chat, your friend’s address the destination.
The party was louder and wilder than the videos let on. He’d already spotted his boys by their kuttes, mingling in their respective ways, but didn’t seek them out. They’d find him if he needed them to. Coco on the other hand, needed to find you.
His eagle eyes picked apart the crowd until he spotted you twisting yourself to the rhythm. Coco didn’t know whether to shoot the asshole behind you, or take you away to deal with the feelings you were bringing out of him.
You knew he loved when you brought the South to the West Coast with your hips and ass.
He charged into your space, his hands immediately going for the guy’s arm and snatching him towards him.
“Make a choice cabrón. Get the fuck out, or be an expensive bill and sad memory for your moms by morning.” He pressed his kutte to his person, emphasizing that he was strapped.
The guy raised his palms and quickly exited the scene. Unwilling to test what clearly was a warning that Coco would happily make good on.
You tugged on him, trying to get him to move away from the crowd. Scanning those around you to see who saw or heard, you noticed more than you would’ve liked. They wouldn’t make a fuss, noting his kutte, but still.
“Stop it. What are you even doing here?” You hissed, tugging his arm harshly for his attention.
He turned his gaze, wild with adrenaline and arrogance at his victory, on you. “You should’ve stopped yourself before throwing it back on random fuckers for the internet. This is on you.”
“No, this is on you. If you hadn’t done what you did or said what you said…”. You trailed off remembering that you couldn’t recall what had happened, just the frustration.
“What did I say or do (y/n)?” He noted your visible annoyance that he’d chosen to use your real name instead of a pet name, and with a smirk, he walked you backwards until your back gently hit the fence.
Between not recalling what started the fight, and your man looking amazing, you settled on a pathetic. “You remember.”
“No I don’t, and neither do you.” that familiar prickle of intensity sparked between the two of you.
Everything between you and Coco felt like a live wire dancing back and forth. High energy moments usually ended in either great sex, or separation (sometimes by the force of your friends) to let things cool down.
“I know you’re gonna catch a case if you keep moving like that Johnny. Is that what you want?”
“Nah mujer, that ain’t what I want. I want you home where you belong, but you’re out here playing me instead.” Slender fingers tugged sharply at a few of the beaded necklaces in your stack.
You sucked your teeth and turned your head, ignoring the warm cheeks and butterflies in your stomach at his on-brand admission of missing you.
He placed a hand on the fence next to your head, grasping your chin to turn your attention back to him.
“You’re being a drama queen. I thought I was talking to Angel for a second.”
He threw his head back as laughed, and you got an almost overwhelming urge to kiss him. Or at least bury your fingers in his soft curls, they were begging for it at this po-
“Fuck that, he’s still got me beat. Wait til you see the tantrum he’s saving for you for not getting invited tonight.”
“He was, I just told her to can it because of you. He should be mad at you.” You pouted, but your tone was teasing.
“I could put in a good word for you…you know, if you’re done being petty.” He leaned in, running his lips over the shell of your ear.
“Or I could just offer to throw it back on him to make him forget.”
It was your turn to laugh when Coco tensed, and pulled back from where he’d been teasing you with light touches. You didn’t love him no longer touching you, but faltering him made it almost worth it.
“Or you could take me home and we could both forget…” you clutched at his kutte, leaning into him.
He pulled your hands away by your wrists, his thumbs rubbing over your pulse points.
“Nah, if dancing is this fucking important to you, come on then.” He pulled you after him.
“Cocooo,” you whined, more interested in getting him to touch you again. “Take me home already.”
“My lady wants to dance.” He sat on the outdoor wicker couch and patted his lap. “So dance.”
You stood there in confusion for a second, before what he meant became clear. “I’m not doing that here!”
“You didn’t have an issue earlier, move those hips ma.” He looked between you and his lap again.
Could’ve been the way he was biting his lip, or the laid back way he rested against the couch, but that coupled with lack of access to him, had affirmative words running through your mind.
You playfully rolled your eyes, faking like his request was that expensive. “Only because I want to get you home, and I know you’ll never quit whining if I don’t.”
You slipped onto his lap, the action already drawing attention from partygoers just for the potential of what was to come.
He grasped your hips to still you before you started to move, his palm pressing you back to him by your throat. “And don’t half-ass it yeah…or I might do the same when I get you home.”
--------
E:
It wasn’t until Creeper hit his shoulder and informed him of how hard he was smiling that EZ realized his cheeks ached. He couldn’t help it, he loved watching you dance more than anything.
As soon as you heard a melody you liked, you came alive to it, and stole everyone’s attention. You could find the beat on anything.
That wasn’t his sole reason for cheesing so hard though. Tonight had been the first night you brought your closest friends around the club, and he knew it took great trust in him, his brothers, and your relationship to do that. Your family was on the East Coast, so your friends filled that role for you. Coupled with EZ, they were your world and he thanked you everyday for letting him in.
“Gonna stop calling you boy scout if you keep enjoying the show this much.” Creeper took the seat across from him, half blocking his view.
“Oh you didn’t know how EZ gets down?” Angel’s lips formed that mischievous grin, his eyes taking on the same glint. “You should’ve seen him begging me for tales from Angel’s crib.”
“She and her girls look good out there. Might be too much for you junior.”
EZ rolled his eyes at the ribbing from his brothers, his grin still intact. “At some point I’m gonna be patched, I’m happy to make a cage date for that day. Pretty sure I can take both of you.
Creeper and Angel exchanged exaggerated incredulous expressions.
“See what happens when you go easy on the help?” Angel scoffed. “You sound like you’re hurtin’ for work prospect.”
“Could use some more water.” Creeper shook his water bottle at him, just barely missing splashing him.
EZ rose from his seat, empty beer bottle in hand. “Just remember that day is coming.”
Angel and Creeper laughed raucously at that.
“Don’t get your ass beat in front of your woman lil bro!”
EZ shook his head, choosing to ignore his dumbass older brother. and tossed his bottle in the trash. Slipping through the moving bodies until he was near you, he gently patted your friend who nodded and stepped from behind you.
You jumped, surprised at his sudden appearance, but settled back against him.
“Hey baby.” You gently encouraged him to follow the sway of your hips as he placed his head on your shoulder.
“Hey. I’m back on the slave clock, you want anything?”
You turned to him, his arms instinctively encircling your waist. “Hard tea please.”
“I gotta go to the trailer for that, and get the variety hour table over there a drink. I’ll try to be quick.”
“Don’t rush, but remember, you owe me a dance.” You cupped his cheeks and pressed a kiss to his lips.
He grinned goofily, his attention solely yours until he felt your girls draping themselves over him.
“Can you get us some too Zeke? Thanks.” “Preciate it Z.”
You giggled pushing them off him, but you knew he didn’t mind. You guys were a package deal and he’d take whatever you came with. At least their requests came with pleasantries.
“Sure ladies, not a problem. Don’t let anyone take her while I’m gone.”
They laughed, giving affirmative replies while you rolled your eyes pushed him towards the side door.
Once he began his drink fulfillment quest, it was like every brother wanted something from him. It was a full house that night and he should’ve known once he was no longer under Angel’s break protection, he was back to errand boy status.
Every task he completed was met with teasing about how his rushed pace clearly pointed to him wanting to get back to you. He didn’t argue the fact, just moved faster every time you were mentioned.
Finally, he was able to to focus on your request when he stopped being flagged down.
He was heading to the trailer when one of your friends stopped him.
“One of the other charter’s guys is annoying our girl. She doesn’t wanna make a fuss cause’..you know.” She gestured to his vest to signify his prospect status. “But I know she’s not feeling it.”
He could feel the the muscles in his jaw flex in anger, feet carrying him across the crowded yard. People moved before he could plow through them, which was just as well, because he wasn’t fully in control at that point, and didn’t think he could slow down enough to sidestep them.
The clubhouse had filled considerably since his absence. He scanned the room for you, finding you in a crowd of moving bodies. Your friend was right, you had a good poker face, but your man knew you.
He didn’t waste time physically separating you from the Yuma patch member. He gently put you behind his person, feeling your small hands press against his back through his vest.
“I’m good baby. He agreed this was the last dance.” Your voice belied your annoyance despite your words.
“I’m guessing he said that more than once.”
“I don’t mind, I know clu-“
Yuma interrupted you. “See, she doesn’t mind. Go find something to do with yourself prospect.”
“I’ve got a project in mind.” EZ pushed you back a little more to give himself room to work with.
“Be smart bare vest.” Yuma smirked, his eyes saying how much he’d love for EZ to make the mistake he was thinking about.
In the span of the next few seconds, Yuma’s vest and shirt was covered in beer and Coco had appeared at the same time. If the obvious way he was holding the bottle didn’t give away he did it on purpose, his dry “my bad” and shrug did.
Yuma swung on Coco who anticipated it and dodged it, before firing back with a successful punch of his own. A sea of Mayans of mixed charter filled the space and EZ quickly pushed you behind the bar before he lost you in the shuffle.
Understanding what Coco had done, he got in the middle to give the Yuma patch what he’d been asking for while he was covered by the chaos.
It didn’t last long before the presidents stepped in, but it didn’t have to. He was happy to take the few licks he’d received, because he was pretty sure he’d broken Yuma patch’s nose, and would get away with it.
His brother’s words against theirs, and the presidents didn’t feel the need to make it a drawn out issue. He pretended to have played bouncer instead of active participant, and it all ended with a basic chewing out.
His only thoughts were of you once his rage had subsided, and he could think clearly again. Had he scared off you and your friends? Embarrassed you?
He was happy to find that hadn’t. Your friends couldn’t help but fawn over him and how “perfect for you” he was. He especially enjoyed reveling in the jealousy of Coco, Angel, Gilly, and Creeper. Coco slightly less salty when he got praise for his efforts.
He got his admiration from you later when you patched him up in the trailer, soft voice telling him how sexy he looked to you, and how you appreciated him thinking of you in his position. You held his face and gently went over everything you could find, while he said on his makeshift bed content to let you.
He couldn’t stop grinning, the one that always got him mercilessly mocked because it was now associated with him thinking of you.
“Seriously EZ,” you dabbed at the final cut you hadn’t attended to. “Thank you.”
“I want you to feel safe with me, it’s only fair if you can accept all this shit.”
You grinned down at him, hair framing your face, and he had to remind himself to breathe at the sight. “I do, all the time.”
He cupped the side of your face, unwilling to fight the urge to kiss you any longer.
You laughed speaking between kisses. “I’m not done.”
“It’s ok, I’m good.” He chased your lips, unashamed to want you so badly.
“Ok,” you returned his kisses, your fingers dancing down the nape of his neck. “But I’d like to cash in that dance you owe me…you know, before we get too busy.”
He rose to full height, hands finding both of yours. “I can do that.”
AN:
I don’t speak Spanish, so if I made a mistake feel free to hop in my messages and let me know and how to fix it please. You’re more than welcome to.
1.) I remember seeing a meme vid about this years ago, and finding it hilarious. I could see this happening with these dudes and their personalities. That, and I just really wanted a lil southern culture in a Mayans drabble. 🤷🏾‍♀️
2.) I did a rewatch of the whole series (including the original), and I’m back on the obsession train. Just tryna to be happy before S4 kicks my shit in.
3.) I kept telling myself I wouldn’t end up writing for these fools and here I am in my Ringling Bros. best🤡.

ILY!
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Kim Namjoon was never supposed to find out this way.
You planned to confess your undying, unerring love for your coworker at a better time, a classier place. You would wear a dress that highlighted your features, hair cascading down your back, makeup done to perfection and spritzed with expensive perfume. You’d confess, he’d confess right back, and you’d live happily ever after.
You’d also dreamt that Kim Namjoon would have the slightest inkling of who you are before he finds out about your year long crush. He might know you as the mousy girl in the office who doesn’t talk and doesn’t contribute much other than some crunched numbers and apparently the best coffee brewer in the office. But you’d prefer he knows you well—your favorite colors and movies and foods, what makes you happy and sad; things future husbands should know.
You very much did not think it would happen in a company wide conference, full of over five hundred suit-wearing executives. You did not think it would be done by the office bully, Chungha, who carefully takes over the mic and speaks the words clearly as she presents awards of recognition.
“Congratulations to Kim Namjoon for 5 years with the company, over $4 million in revenue, and the object of ____’s lust and affection. I’m sure you two will have the happy life she’s written in her journal about. Make sure you celebrate with her today!”
The room is silent, so silent you could have heard a pin drop from a mile away. Your face is cherry red and you wish the earth would open up and swallow you whole. Your heart feels like someone has ripped it in half and you stare in horror at the girl smirking at the front. Is this what it feels like to be backstabbed? Namjoon looks perplexed—confusion written on his face as he gestures around to no one in particular like he’s saying ‘what the fuck was that?’
Awkward coughing and clapping begins and Namjoon stands to receive his award, a fine wooden fountain pen, and chances a glance around the room. He easily spots you, with your wide, frightened face. His look remains passive, not hinting what he’s thinking behind those stormy eyes, before he turns and sits back down at the table with his buddies from his department.
You seriously contemplate quitting your job. You could find a new one easily, right? Just stand up and tell your boss you quit and you’re out of there before Namjoon ever sees you again and you’ll never have to face the mean girl who’s ratting you out.
As much as the idea rolls through your head, you know you won’t do it. You love your job, love the security and finances it provides you, and you love to look at Kim Namjoon, all day every day.
You don’t understand where things went wrong.
( one month ago )
It’s 9:03 am. You finish brewing the coffee in the small staff kitchen and sigh at the aroma of the freshly ground beans. Coffee is your favorite meal, favorite time of day, favorite snack, and preferred beverage. You drink it constantly. You’re known as “coffee girl” at work, mostly because no one really bothers to get to know you beyond that. You drink coffee like it’s a devoted religion. You could drink a cup right before bed and still sleep like a baby. It was, put simply, your drink.
The office workers deem you to be the one to make the pots of coffee every morning, claiming you were the ‘best’. You didn’t mind—you preferred to make your own coffee regardless—but you believe your coworkers are trying to pass off the twenty-minute job to someone lower in the office hierarchy. And you were one step above the interns.
The coffee machine chimes to let you know it’s hot, and it’s ready for you. You eagerly pour a mug, a large one, and smile as the waft of freshly ground beans (by you, of course) fills your senses.
You nearly knock the cup out of your hand as Kim Namjoon strolls into the office, eyes set on the coffee.
You feel your throat swell up, like he’s an allergen and you’re caught without an epi-pen. Butterflies swirl in your stomach and you can’t stop staring at him. He pays you no mind, tired yet determined to pour a cup of coffee and get back to his office.
You stand in the small kitchen, clutching your coffee like a lifeline, and pray to god you don’t do something stupid.
Namjoon pours his mug, and you watch his muscular hands grip the coffee pot. He pours a hefty amount of cream and sugar into his cup—it appears even perfect male specimens have their faults. 
Your eyes dance on his face before they tango down his body. You wonder what he looks like in the morning, crawling out of bed with mussed hair and a sleepy smile painted on his face. He’d look at you and tell you you’re the most beautiful girl and kiss you deeply despite morning breath. Maybe he’d take you to the shower to press you against the tile as he fuc-
“Oh!” it startles Namjoon to see you, and the coffee in his hand swishes violently. “Didn’t see you there. Sorry!”
Your heart melts. He’s the picture of kindness and politeness. You recognize it’s been a few seconds and you still haven’t replied.
“It’s fine!”
“Great coffee, by the way,” he smiles. His teeth nearly knock you out cold with their brilliance. “Have a good day.”
He turns and exits the room without so much as a glance back at you. Your knees feel weak.
Kim Namjoon talked to you. He complimented you. He told you to have a good day. It’s the best and most significant conversation you’ve had with your secret crush.
You definitely file that away for another day when you need to reminisce on his compliment, and you scurry out of the kitchen towards your desk.
Park Jimin is waiting dutifully at your desk when you arrive, a smug smile still slapped over your features as you sip at your coffee. Namjoon spoke to you today—how lovely.
Jimin quirks an eyebrow. 
“What’s got you so perky this morning?” 
You’re normally quiet and passive, avoiding eye contact or any semblance of emotion on your face.
You look up at the blonde bespectacled boy. Park Jimin is the closest thing to a best friend in the company. He’s who you spend time with at lunch, see on weekends, and text often. You suppose he’s the closest thing to a best friend you have in your entire life.
You send him a smirk and lean in close to whisper. “Namjoon said hi to me today!”
Jimin sends you a pitiful look and pats your shoulder. Your best friend is well aware of your secret crush and while he thinks Namjoon is a nice guy, he thinks your crush is a little hopeless. He’s the most popular guy in the office, often has dates lined up every weekend. Jimin hears the way he and his friends talk in the break room. The man is definitely not hurting for female attention.
“Oh, honey,” he sighs, unenthusiastically. “That’s great.” He can’t help but feel a twinge of sadness over how excited you’re getting from a simple ‘hello’ from a coworker.
“I know, right? Anyway, lunch today?” You ask as you settle down into your cubicle.
Jimin pushes his glasses up his face and nods. “Of course! That’s why I came by this morning. I wanted to let you know that Jungkook from marketing will join us.”
You make a face, disgust etched in the lines creasing your forehead. 
“Why?”
Jungkook is well known in the company. He’s a loudmouth, a player, a clown, and everyone’s favorite comedian. He’s just not your favorite.
“Don’t be rude,” Jimin admonishes at your grimace. “He asked to join and well—he’s cute. I can’t say no to him.”
“Oh Christ, Jimin,” you groan. “Not you too! Don’t tell me you have the hots for the serial fuckboy?”
He blushes lightly and shrugs. “Maybe I do! Be nice to him today or I’ll eat all your chocolate ice cream I know you have at home.”
You stick your tongue out, petulantly. “Fine, now let me get to work or else Seokjin will be up my ass.”
Jimin smiles and kisses your cheek before he scurries away, back to human resources.
It feels as if barely any time has passed. You’re working hard, running calculations and updating spreadsheets. You have an eye for numbers, and losing yourself in an equation is just another day for you. You’re shaken from your cheerful place by a vibration from your phone, and a text alert popping on the lit screen.
jimin 12:01 pm- it’s lunchtime!! you better get your butt out here!
You smile and text back an affirmative reply, then move to grab your lunch from the company fridge. Gliding down the steps leading to the fresh outdoors, you meet Jimin at the lunch tables in the grass.
Jimin is sitting with Jungkook. You can recognize your best friend by his hair and glasses, and Jungkook by his obnoxious laughter.
“Hi,” you murmur as you sit down and open up the brown bag lunch you’ve brought.
“Hi!” Jimin is excited to see you, and just a pinch over eager to be sitting next to Jungkook.
“You know Jungkook, right?” Jimin asks, a harsh look in his eyes that reminds you to be on your best behavior.
You nod as you pull out a bag of grapes. “Oh, yeah, hey,” you smile. “I’ve seen you around.”
Jungkook delivers you a signature smirk and you feel yourself roll your eyes internally. “Yeah, you’re Coffee Girl, right?”
You pout and glare down at your brown bag lunch. Will you ever become more than just Coffee Girl?
“Yeah, I suppose that’s me.”
Jimin clears his throat to dismiss any awkwardness. 
“So, Jungkook, I hear you like working out? ___ likes to work out too. She drags me to the gym sometimes. Maybe we could all meet up sometime?” You don’t miss the hopeful lilt in his voice. Jungkook does.
“Oh, yeah?” He narrows a sexy look at you, rather—a look he thinks is sexy that you find off-putting. “What do you do at the gym? Little cardio sets with 5 pound weights?”
What an asshole.
“Sometimes,” you state as you take a bite of the homemade salad you handcrafted last night. “Most of the time I’m lifting heavy. I can bench 275 and deadlift 300.”
Jungkook looks taken back. “What, really?” He sounds breathless. “You lift more than Namjoon-hyung.”
At the sound of the love of your life’s name, you pause. Your face heats quickly and Jungkook smirks. Of course, he recognizes this and not Jimin’s obvious flirting.
“Why are you blushing?” He asks. “Did I say something?”
You’re quick to dismiss things. “Um--no. I just um,” you’re grasping at straws. “I’m hot.”
Jimin is trying not to laugh, hiding his mouth behind a petite hand.
Jungkook tilts his head. “It’s not even sunny today.”
You gulp. “Yeah, I must be hot. With a fever. M-malaria… probably.”
Jungkook snorts. 
“You have malaria? Bummer.” He picks at his nails. “I thought for a moment you had a thing for Namjoon.”
“No!” The retort is quick, too quick for normal conversation, and it gives you away.
“Aha!” Jungkook points an accusing finger at you. “You have the hots for him, don’t you?”
Your features melt, and Jimin tries to assuage the situation. “Jungkook, please don’t tell anyone,” he pleads.
Jungkook smiles at you. “That’s so cute. It’s like a little nerdy freshman crushing on the senior class president.”
You bury your head in your hands, suddenly unable to stomach any food.
“Jungkook,” Jimin’s tone becomes more firm, authoritative. “I’m asking you this as a friend. Please, don’t say anything.”
Jungkook holds his hands up to prove his innocence and waves his proverbial white flag. 
“Secret is safe with me,” he promises. “But it’s cute. I know him really well, you know. I could try to hook you two up.”
You blanch, unsure if you want Jungkook saying anything about you to the man of your dreams. 
“I’m good, but thanks,” you offer meekly. “I’m not feeling well. I’m going to head back to work, okay?”
Jimin frowns, knowing you’re feeling like a cornered animal, and nods. “Feel better, babe,” he sighs.
Jungkook watches as you leave and turns to Jimin. “Man, he’s way out of her league.”
Jimin slaps the boy in the chest. “Be nice, asshole, that’s my best friend.”
Jungkook promises to be nice, and Jimin is blissfully unaware that others are listening and that the man beside him is easy to persuade.
( present day )
The company-wide meeting adjourns soon after what is likely to be the most embarrassing moment you’ve ever lived through.
You’re grabbing at your things and trying to run out of the room, desperate to get out before anyone sees you or talks to you or laughs at you.
A hand grabs at the coattails of your suit jacket and you’re pulled backwards with a yelp. You turn to seek your captor and find the concerned face of your best friend, Jimin.
“Are you okay? What the fuck just happened?”
Jimin’s concern makes it all real. Until now you could pretend you were in a fugue state, totally dissociated from reality. Now, you realize that everyone in the entire company is aware of your crush on Kim Namjoon.
You can feel your bottom lip wobble, tears threatening to spill. Jimin murmurs an ‘oh shit’ and drags you out of the large room and into the nearest bathroom. He pushes you to sit against the sink and passes you toilet paper to dab at your eyes.
“I don’t know how she found out!” you cry. “God, I feel so stupid and embarrassed.”
It incenses Jimin. He’s holding it back to ensure you’re okay, but in reality, it’s an HR nightmare waiting to happen. He’ll find who did it and punish them accordingly.
They will suffer. 
“It’s okay, babe,” he pulls you into a hug. “Everyone will forget about it soon. They’ll think it’s just a lame office joke, okay?”
You nod, feeling the slightest bit comforted by his words. 
“How could she find out, Jiminie?” You ask with a sniffle. “You’re the only person who knows.”
Jimin sighs and shakes his head.
“I don’t know, but they’re dead. I haven’t told any-... oh, my god,” Jimin stops suddenly. You look up at him to catch what he’s thinking.
He growls and balls his fists. 
“Jungkook knew.”
You let out a sob and bawl your eyes out into the tissue you’re holding. Jimin holds you tighter while he conjures up a hundred different ways to hurt someone and make it look like an accident.
“Don’t worry,” Jimin sighs, trying to comfort both you and himself. “I’m HR. I have to handle this. I’ll make sure they get what they deserve.”
You feel a sting of pain for Jimin. He’s been hopelessly doting on the man who spilled the beans for a few months now, even got to take him on a few dates. It was still nothing serious, but Jimin was clearly smitten.
“I’m sorry you have to do that, Chim,” you whisper. “I know how you feel about him.”
“Yeah, well,” he swallows thickly. “You’re more important than any asshole.”
Jimin holds you tight for a few minutes longer, before you clean yourself up and steel yourself. Ignore everyone, Jimin encourages. Just get to work, he says. Then you can go home and we’ll drink wine and forget about it all, he promises.
You replay his words in his head like a prayer as you walk down the corridors and towards your office. Everyone in the hallways stops to stare at you. They lean towards their friends and whisper. You hear snippets of their gossip, like “Namjoon” and “out of her league”. It drives the sharp blade lodged in your chest even further. It threatens to collapse your lungs and break your ribs.
You make it to your desk safe and sound and bury yourself in work and forcibly ignore the gawking and the stares. 
Just make it home. Just get through the day. You’re almost there.
You could do this.
Tumblr media
You nearly make it the entire day before running into the one person you didn’t want to see, Kim Namjoon.
At the end of the day, you’re taking the stairs down to the parking garage instead of the elevator. The elevator is too busy, too many people, and you’re trying to avoid the stares and giggles at your expense. The stairs are always deserted and you figure it’s your safest bet.
You can nearly hear the wine calling your name at home. A delicate glass of Sauvignon Blanc and some chocolate ice cream and a good cry—it sounds like the best and only way to unwind after the worst day you’ve ever had in your life.
The chanting of your name gets louder and you wonder if you’ve finally lost your mind—if you’re actually hearing your wine bottles all the way at home talking to you.
No, wait. The voice is real, and coming from behind you. You turn around to face who’s calling you and nearly faint at the sight.
Kim Namjoon stands on the landing above you, one strip of stairs between you.
“Hey!” He seems glad he’s caught you. “I’ve been calling your name for a minute.”
You swallow and search for an answer. 
“Sorry, I’m-.. I guess I’m just a little out of it today.”
Namjoon grimaces. 
“Yeah, about that…” he begins as he takes the steps down to be on equal ground as you. Your heart is spinning wildly. He’s so close to you. He’s talking to you. On any other day you’d be erupting towards the sky like a firework. But today isn’t any other day.
“I feel like I should apologize,” he states. “I don’t know what happened. I didn’t plan it or anything.”
Damn him and his kindness. Damn him and his cute, awkward smile.
“No, no,” you assure. “I know you didn’t. You don’t have to apologize.”
It’s hard to make eye contact with the man. You want to, know it’s important in intense conversations like this, but the thought of him seeing you—really seeing you makes you ache inside.
“It was a really shitty prank,” he begins. “I’m sure you don’t even know who I am, let alone have a crush on me.”
For the millionth time that day, your face heats to a near boil. You stammer and you’re sure you’ve blown any chance at even thinking about a date with Namjoon.
“Oh, uh, right,” you seek an answer, beg your brain to pick something to say that doesn’t make you sound stupid. “I do.”
“You do what?” He’s confused and you widen your eyes at what just left your mouth.
“I do know you! I mean, I do have a crush on you! Oh, fuck,” you shove your face into your hands. “Please, ignore that. I need to go. Sorry!” You don’t give him a chance to reply, you book it out of the stairway as fast as your heels will take you.
Today was the worst day you’ve suffered through in your life.
Tumblr media
The next few days aren’t much better.
Not only are you “coffee girl”, you’re now also sarcastically called “Namjoon’s girl”. As much as you hate your initial title, you’d prefer it to the new one they throw at you as you walk by.
Jimin rats out Jungkook and Chungha to the bosses. They get two weeks probation and they have to write you apology letters if they wish to keep their permanent files clean of any reprimands. It’s a slap on the wrist, and everyone involved knows it. Jimin is furious and wants the boss to reconsider. You tell him not to push it. You’d rather this be over and everyone to forget it even happened. Jimin unwillingly agrees.
You’re working at your desk, earphones shoved in your ears to diffuse the gossip in the room, when you feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn and are greeted with the face of Judas Iscariot himself, Jeon Jungkook.
“Hi,” he sounds sheepish, cheeks reddening.
You narrow your eyes at him, sharper than steel. “What the fuck do you want?”
He winces, knowing he deserved that. “Well, I just wanted to apologize. I know they told me to write you a letter, but it seems too impersonal…”. 
You can’t believe Jungkook is sucking his ego up and actually coming to you to apologize. You thought he’d for sure be the one to cop out and send a shitty letter.
He continues. 
“I just wanted to let you know that I’m sorry that all went down. I didn’t mean to tell her. She got me drunk and said she saw me eating lunch with you and Jimin. I think she was jealous or something and it slipped out. I know that’s not an excuse. I fucked up your trust and Jimin’s trust. But I just wanted you to know I didn’t do it to be an asshole. She sort of duped me.”
You pause as you take in the man’s apology. He didn’t have to come to you in person. He could have easily taken the shitty route and half-assed a letter to you. But he didn't, and he owned up to his mistake. God dammit.
“I appreciate your apology, Jungkook,” you sigh and you see his body visibly relax. “I’m still mad, but I guess the anger is at her for doing it in the first place. I’m sorry she tricked you.”
He breathes a sigh of relief and kneels down beside you. “I’m really happy you believe me. I was worried you were going to kick me in the nuts.
“I won’t lie, I thought about it.”
He smiles with you, and you feel like this is the restart of a friendship. “I definitely deserved it.”
You shrug and smile. “Jimin would kill me for hurting you. He might even kill me for thinking about hurting you.”
Jungkook’s smile drops at the name of your best friend. Yikes. Looks like there’s still trouble in paradise.
“I think you’d be in similar company with Jimin right now. He’s not speaking to me.”
You let out a breath through your nose. “Yeah, he’s a little protective of me.”
“For good reason,” he admits. “You’re like a cute little flower. A cute nerdy flower.”
“Jungkook,” you warn. “I just forgave you after I was humiliated in front of the entire company. I’d be careful with calling me nerdy right now.”
“Fuck, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it in a bad way.”
It’s hard to stay mad at the boy, no matter how much you dislike his reputation around the office. The fact that he humbled himself enough to seek you out and apologize is proof enough to you of his character.
“It’s okay, Jungkook. I forgive you,” you smile. “Thank you for apologizing.”
He rubs the back of his neck anxiously as his cheeks flare red.
“Yeah, it felt pretty shitty to just… do anything else. Plus, you seem really cool.”
“You seem great, too, Jungkook.”
He smiles and pulls you in for a hug, catching you off guard. For the fuckboy type, he’s surprisingly sensitive and soft. You like that about him.
“I’ll see you around, okay?” He says as he pulls away from you.
“Maybe you should apologize to Jimin, too?” 
His smile drops, but he nods anyway. “Yeah, maybe I’ll go find him now.”
“Good luck,” you offer with a pat on his shoulder.
With a sad smile, he turns and heads down the hallway towards the HR department. You pray Jimin shows mercy to the handsome boy.
Tumblr media
A few weeks go by, and you’re sure that everyone has forgotten about you and your most embarrassing moment to date. You make the coffee, you calculate the numbers, everyone ignores you. Things return to relative normalcy.
Until it doesn't. The moment you think you're safe is the moment your guard comes down and everything falls apart around you.
It's when you're in the staff kitchen, grinding fresh beans to brew a second pot of coffee, that it happens.
The kitchen is fuller than usual. You normally try to wait until the lunchtime crowd dwindles and leaves to make your second pot, but you're so desperate for the caffeine that you can't find it in you to care.
You trudge into the kitchen with your handy coffee mug clutched in your tired hands and head towards the cupboards to grind up the beans.
There's a few groups of coworkers lingering in the room, and as your grinder whirs the beans around into a powder, you chance a look around to see who's among the crowd.
Your eyes flick immediately to where a hearty laugh erupts. It makes your heart still in your throat. Namjoon sits with his usual crowd of friends, hand gripping a homemade sandwich while the other assists him in telling his story to his friends. He pays you no mind—why would he?—and you can't help but stare at the way his dark brown hair lays perfectly against his forehead, and his eyes crinkle so cutely at the edges when he smiles.
You nearly forget about the coffee grounds—you're snapped out of your Namjoon-induced trance when suddenly a woman's laugh echoes around the room.
"Look at her," the voice states.
You peer up and see a girl you vaguely recognize. Is she from Marketing? Or perhaps Sales? You’re not sure, but she’s staring at you with a sneer.
“She’s so weirdly obsessed with Namjoon. It’s so creepy.”
Your face turns cherry red and you’re sure your lungs stop functioning. The air your body needs to breathe freezes and your chest aches. 
Namjoon turns to look at the girl before he looks and sees you grasping your coffee grounds tightly.
“Chungha was right—it’s so weird. Namjoon, you should talk to HR about this!”
Namjoon turns back to the gossiping coworker and frowns. “Can you leave it alone? She wasn’t even doing anything.”
The girl huffs and crosses her arms over her chest and looks back at Namjoon.
“How can you stand to be in the same room as her? She clearly thinks she has a chance with you.”
Her words come out like a bite. She punctuates her point with a harsh laugh and the group around her mumbles and chuckles in agreement.
You’re desperately grabbing at anything you can, wanting to leave as quickly as possible before you’re embarrassed further.
“Well, she does!” Namjoon replies loudly, annoyance written in his features. “I was actually going to ask her to dinner this weekend in private, but since everyone is so fucking interested in my love life, I have to do it publicly.”
The room falls silent, and your favorite mug falls out from your hands and shatters on the floor. All sets of eyes stare at you while yours widen with disbelief—you don't even care that you’re standing in a pool of old coffee and shattered ceramic. 
Namjoon stands and heads over to you, bending down to pick up the shards of your coffee mug. You take a few stunted breaths to kneel and help. 
His eyes peer into yours. They’re warm—a chocolate brown color that makes you feel safe.  
“What do you say?” He asks with a smile so gentle it nearly breaks your heart. “Will you let me take you out this weekend?” 
You’re gaping like a fish and the surrounding room is silent—bated breath waiting for your reply. 
“Yes, I would l-love that.” 
His smile turns even brighter, and he stands to throw the broken mug away. 
“I’ll email you the details, okay?”
Your head nods dumbly without thinking. His eyes sparkle as he smiles at you, and he extends his hand down to you to assist you off the floor. As your hand slips into his, you can’t help but feel how soft and strong he feels. You wonder what his hand would feel like caressing your face, smoothing down the expanse of your bare back, running down the length of your body.
The thoughts shake out of you as he winks and kisses your hand gently, causing the gossiping coworker to grunt her disapproval and for murmurs of shock to echo around the room.
“I’ll talk to you later, doll.” Namjoon winks at you before he grabs his sandwich and leaves the room, gesturing to his crew to follow along.
The place on your hand felt warm where his lips once lingered. You no longer cared about the angry glares from the rest of your coworkers. Your heart beats wildly in your chest, and you leave the kitchen nearly floating on cloud nine.

Email from: Kim Namjoon
Sent: 3:06 pm
Subject: Hey good lookin ;)
Hey! 
Just wanted to see how you are! I’m sorry about what happened at lunchtime. That was super petty and uncalled for. I really wanted to ask you out, and I hope I didn’t embarrass you too much by doing it in front of everyone.
I was wondering if you’d like to go out this Friday night after work? Say around 7? If you send me your address, I’ll pick you up.
Let me know!
Xoxo, Joon
You’re sure if you weren’t sitting in your tiny cubicle, you’d be screaming your lungs out.
The second the notification of the email came through, direct from the man of your desires himself, your body froze.
You re-read the message, over and over and over.  
The winky emoji, the xoxo, the nickname ‘joon’. It’s all so much and makes the grin on your face threaten to split your lips in half.
Your fingers press the “FWD” button and you quickly send the message to Jimin, before you stand demurely, attempting to give off an air of professional confidence. You need to talk to Jimin, now.
As soon as you’re out of the eyesight of suspicious coworkers, you bolt down the hallway towards Human Resources. Your high heels click loudly on the tiled floor, but the sound doesn’t even register in your mind. All you can think about is Namjoon, the email, the press of his lips on your hand, the way his smile made you feel as if you could fly.  
The door to HR swings open with your tight grip around the doorknob, and you open your mouth to call to Jimin, the lone employee, when you’re startled by the sight ahead of you.
Jimin sits on the edge of his expansive desk with his arms thrown around Jungkook’s neck and is clearly engaged in a deep, sensual kiss. At the sound of the door opening, they quickly break apart, with matching cherry red blushes on their cheeks and mused hair.
“Oh, shit,” you gasp. 
The men are silent and you can’t help but giggle after a moment passes. “I’ll take it you two made up?”
Jungkook flashes you a dopey grin, one that gives you an answer, while Jimin smirks haughtily.
“Jungkook and I were just discussing, umm… his 401k.”
Jungkook looks at the blonde boy for a moment, confused, before he gets it. “Yeah! Totally. Retirement. Love to t-talk about it?”
You laugh out loud and walk towards the couple.
“I’m sure it was a titillating discussion,” you tease. “I have good news though, if it’s okay to interrupt this retirement planning session.”
Jimin nods and Jungkook rubs at the back of his neck awkwardly. “I guess I should leave?”
“It’s okay,” you smile. “I trust you.”
Jungkook smiles as if he’s just won the lottery. He looks between you and Jimin, face pure and excited like a puppy.
“What’s up?” Jimin asks as he moves to sit down at his desk.
“I forwarded you an email. Read it.”
Jimin nods and logs on to his posh computer, scrolling and clicking before narrowing his eyes and reading.
“Oh, my god.” Jimin’s face is shocked—it's written all over his features. “Namjoon asked you out?!”
Jungkook’s child-like grin turns into one of shock himself. He runs around to stand behind Jimin, eyes seeking over the words of the email.
“Well, hot damn,” Jungkook whistles. “He asked her out.”
Jimin exchanges a look with Jungkook, one that you’re not sure you can read. It quickly slips your mind, however, as you’re more focused on the task at hand.
“Can you come over tonight after work and help me pick out something to wear?” You ask excitedly.
Jimin smiles at you, a touch of sadness in his eyes, before he nods.
“Of course, babe,” he assures. “We’ll make sure you look nice and hot for the date with Mr. Kim.”
“Thank you!” You squeal as you wrap your arms around your best friend. He hugs you back before you scurry out of the office and back to your cubicle, itching to reply to the message.
Jimin sighs as the door to his office closes behind you.
“Kook, please don’t tell me he’s going to break her heart. He’s asking her out to make himself feel better about this, isn’t he?” 
Jungkook slips his hand into Jimin’s and squeezes. 
“I’ll find out, baby.”
Jimin smiles and nods appreciatively at the boy, before leaning up and kissing him.
Jungkook smiles against his lips, and is determined to ensure the young HR specialist never hates him again, even if he has to go behind his hyung’s back to ensure his new boyfriend’s happiness.
Tumblr media
Jungkook has one mission now, and that’s ensuring Namjoon takes you on the greatest date known to man.
He grills Jimin with questions about what you like over dinner one night. Jimin finds it endearing that Jungkook is so eager to rectify his mistakes, but he still can’t help but worry that Namjoon is doing this to save face—not because he actually likes you.
“So, what does she like doing?” Jungkook asks as he spins his pasta around his chopsticks idly.
Jimin smiles as he takes a bite of the ramen Jungkook has thoughtfully prepared for their stay-at-home date.  
“I’ve told you already! She’s easy to figure out.” Jimin pats Jungkook’s hand gently. “She loves cooking and baking, working out, daydreaming about Namjoon.” 
“Cooking, hm,” Jungkook looks thoughtful as he takes a bite. “I think Namjoon can work with that. I’ll let him know!”
Jimin tries to hide the anxiety brewing in his stomach. He’s had to plaster on a fake smile for you while you tried on different outfits, wondering which will be the one to finally convince Namjoon he is the one for you. It’s hard to fake it around his boyfriend, too—but something tugs in his stomach that flares the cynical side of him.
Namjoon went from not knowing of your existence, to watching you get publicly embarrassed in a matter of minutes. While Namjoon isn’t a terrible guy, Jimin knows he doesn’t like anything to tarnish the gentleman reputation he’s built in the office. And as much as Jimin likes him, and surely likes his friend Jungkook, he can’t help but feel skeptical.
Jungkook hurriedly pulls out his phone and types away, letting his elder friend know of what he’s found out. Jimin swallows his food, and his pride, and hopes to god his growing cynicism is wrong.
Tumblr media
Friday comes slower than you’d like. You wake up every day during the week, one day closer, and your eagerness hits peak levels. Namjoon sees you in the hallways during the week and winks at you, hands shoved in his tight slacks that make you salivate.  
He emails you again Thursday afternoon, confirming things and getting your address. You reply in nanoseconds, uncaring how overeager you come off. 
By the time your alarm clock rings on Friday morning, you’ve already been awake for 4 hours.
All you can do is daydream about the date, the way his hand fits into yours, the warmth of his eyes when he smiles at you.
It’s what fuels you through work.
You hope to god the numbers you’re attempting to work during the day come out right, because your mind is elsewhere for more than most of the day. There isn’t enough coffee in the world, but also your body feels as if you’ve overdosed on caffeine already.
The clock eeks towards 5:00 pm and you’re bolting out the door at 4:56 to head home and get ready for your date.
Jimin attempts to meet you before you leave, but your desk is cold and empty by the time he gets there.  
He sighs and heads back towards his office to gather his things, waving bye to various coworkers as they file out of the corporate building.
He turns the corner towards his office but stops in his tracks as he sees Namjoon’s back to him, phone pressed to his ear.
“Baby, I’ll come over later tonight, okay?” Namjoon speaks into the phone.
Jimin feels his heart fall into the pit of his stomach. He retreats and hides behind a wall, ear carefully peeled to listen to the tall man’s conversation.
“I’m going on this date with that chick from work,” he sighs. “It won’t last more than a few hours. Poor girl has a crush on me and you know the usual assholes won’t leave her alone.”
Jimin bites his lip and clenches his fist. Namjoon thinks he means well, but he knows his suspicions have been confirmed, and he’s torn inside. He wants to tell you, to warn you not to get too invested in the man, but he also has no interest in popping the bubble you’ve been in since the day he asked you out.
Jimin lets it simmer for now. He decides he’ll monitor Namjoon and cut things off if it appears the man strings you along for fun.
Namjoon finishes his phone call with a promise to see whoever is on the other end of the phone later that night, and Jimin quickly pulls out his phone and fakes a conversation with no one when he hears the man approach.
“Oh, Kookie,” Jimin giggles, leaning against the wall casually. “I can’t wait to see you tonight, either, babe.”
Namjoon walks towards Jimin and makes eye contact with the HR specialist.
“Bye, Kook! See you tonight, baby.” Jimin finishes up the fake phone call as Namjoon arrives next to him, and he plasters on his best fake smile.
“Congrats on you and Jungkook,” he speaks sincerely.
Jimin hates how nice he is, hates that he’s a nice guy who gets too wrapped up in his own good looks and reputation.
“Thanks, Namjoon,” Jimin smiles uneasily. “You too! Have fun on your date tonight.”
Namjoon’s face lights up and Jimin desperately wishes he could go back in time to 30 seconds ago, before he heard the conversation, and believe that Namjoon truly wanted to date you.
“Thanks, should be fun, huh?” He winks and nudges Jimin, before he waves a goodbye and continues out the door.
Jimin pulls his phone out of his pocket and dials the number of his boyfriend.
“Hey, baby. We’ve got a problem.”

Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader
Synopsis: Toms attempt at impressing you goes very wrong…then very right
Masterlist
Tumblr media
“What’s your most embarrassing moment?” Tom read off one of the papers from the bucket before looking at you. “I think it was the backflip. Do you remember that?”
“I don’t remember there being any backflips that day.” You laughed at him, making him roll his eyes.
“Do you see how mean she is to me?” Tom playfully asked the camera. “I think that was my most embarrassing moment but it ended up being the best day of my life.”
“You think that was the best day of your life?” You raised an eyebrow at your boyfriend. “You got hurt.”
“Yeah.” He nodded. “Because on the one hand, it was the day I ate shit in front of the girl I liked. But it was also the day we finally got together, which makes it the best day in the history of days.”
“The history of days.” You laughed at his wording as the camera crew laughed as well.
“Was that not a good day for you?” Tom pretended to be offended as he picked up another slip of paper.
“No, no.” You assured. “It was the best day of my life too. But It was also super embarrassing.”
1 year ago
“What are you up to?”
“I’m just stretching for the day. I have to stay limber if I’m gonna keep playing Spider man.” Tom said as he stretched his arms. “Watch this.”
Tom bent down and touched his toes before looking up at you smugly.
“Wow, hot shot.” You snorted. “That’s pretty impressive. Can you do a backflip too?”
“That’s how I got the role, actually.” Tom joked. “Because I can do a backflip.”
“I bet you can’t do one right now.” You challenged him.
“I so can.” He narrowed his eyes at you.
“Nah.” You shook your head. “I bet it’s all CGI.”
“Darling, I’ve been a gymnast all my life.” Tom said smugly. “I can most certainly do a backflip.”
“Hm. No.” You scrunched your nose. “I don’t believe you.”
“All right.” Tom cracked his neck. “Watch me.”
He stepped back and shook out his shoulders, sneaking a glance at you to check if you were watching. You folded your arms and gave him a nod, telling him to go ahead. Tom let out a breath, got in position, and attempted a back flip. Instead of going in a full rotation like he planned, he fell flat on his face. You and Tom heard the crunch at the same time, making you gasp as he let out a groan.
“Oh my God!” You shrieked and crouched down beside him, rolling him over. “Is he dead? Are you dead?”
“Call an ambulance.” Tom groaned as a steady stream on blood ran from his nose.
“Your nose is crooked.” You grimaced as you held his face. “Is it supposed to be crooked?”
“Did I knock my teeth out?” Tom smiled weakly at you, making you laugh.
“No. Your teeth are fine.” You chuckled as you stroked his cheeks with your thumbs. “Are you okay?”
“As much as I’m enjoying you in top of me right now, I’d really appreciate you calling a doctor. My nose feels like it has a heartbeat.”
“Right. Sorry.” You grimaced again. “Can we get a medic over here?”
Within ten minutes, Tom was sitting in his trailer with the medic inspecting his nose. You were sitting by his side, holding his hand and bouncing your leg nervously.
“Is he okay?” You asked the doctor as you squeezed Toms hand.
“It’s definitely broken.” The doctor said as he felt Toms nose.
“Lovely.” Tom sighed.
“Oh my God.” You whined. “Can you fix it?”
“Yeah.” The doctor shrugged. “All I have to do is reset it.”
“Will that hurt?” You asked as you held your intertwined hands to your chest. Tom stifled a laugh at how you were acting, fretting over him like a nervous wife.
“I’ve had this happen before.” Tom assured you. “It doesn’t hurt that bad.”
“Okay, good.” You sighed in relief. “I was gonna say you could keep holding my hand if you needed to but if it doesn’t hurt then-“
“Just in case.” Tom squeezed your hand before you could let go. “You never know how badly something is going to hurt.”
“It’s gonna hurt pretty bad.” The doctor mumbled, making you gasp and Tom give an angry look.
“Oh my God.” You whined. “I can’t believe I did this to you. You’re gonna be in so much pain and it’s all my fault.”
“It’s not brain surgery, darling.” Tom laughed and tucked your hair behind your ear with his free hand. “I’ll be okay.”
“I’m sorry.” You frowned and kissed the back of his hand. “You can squeeze my hand as hard as you need.”
“Okay, I’m gonna fix it in the count of three.” The doctors said as he got in position. He reset Toms nose with a loud crack, making Tom squeeze your hand as hard as he could for your sake. The doctor bandaged Tom up and gave him an ice pack before leaving the trailer.
“This is all my fault.” You sighed as soon as he left. You rested your head on his shoulder and rubbed his arm soothingly. “I’m so sorry.”
“Darling, I hardly think you’re to blame for this.” Tom chuckled as he rested his chin on your head.
“I am.” You whined. “I was trying to flirt with you and get you to do a backflip and now your nose is broken and it’s all my fault.”
“You were trying to flirt?” Tom perked his head up and looked at you curiously.
“Yes and clearly I should never do it again because I put you in grave danger.” You pouted as you stroked his cheek.
“Darling, do I look like I’m in danger?” Tom teased you. “I’m okay. Don’t beat yourself up over this.”
“But you got hurt because of me.” You jutted your bottom lip out and wiped some dried blood off his face.
“It wasn’t your fault.” He insisted as he pulled out his phone. “But I do want to put this on Instagram.”
“Guys, I accidentally broke my nose on set and look at Y/n.” Tom laughed as he looked into the camera. He panned it to you, but you were busy chewing you bottom lip and staring at Tom with guilty eyes.
“I feel so bad.” You pouted as your eyes flicked to the camera.
“It’s okay.” He assured you. “I don’t blame you at all.”
“I’m sorry.” You mumbled as you pulled his face close to yours and pressed kissed all over it. Tom laughed as you did it, feeling his cheeks flush beneath your lips. You pulled away but kept your hands on his face.
“Can I kiss your nose?” You asked cautiously and Tom burst out laughing.
“Go ahead.” He said. “You’re acting like you’re asking for my kidney.”
You ignored his teasing and gave him the worlds most gentle kiss on the nose.
“Did that hurt?” You asked as you quickly pulled away.
“You barely touched me.” Tom chuckled.
“Well I don’t know.” You whined and grabbed the ice pack the doctor left. You placed another gentle kiss on Toms nose before holding the ice pack to his face. Tom, who was busy loving all the attention from you, pulled out his phone again.
“Look at this.” He panned the camera to you. “She’s holding the ice pack to my face.”
“Leave me alone.” You sighed. “I’m guilt ridden.”
“It’s okay.” Tom reminded you as he rubbed your knee. He silently posted the video to document the day as you checked his forming bruise.
“No it’s not.” You sighed again. “Can I get you anything?”
“I’m all right, love.” Tom shook his head. “I just want you to stay here.”
“No. I can’t take this guilt.” You shook your head. “You have to punch me in the face.”
“Why would I do that?”
“To make it even.” You insisted as you cupped his face. “You have to break my nose since I broke yours.”
“You didn’t break my nose.” He reminded you. “If I broke yours, that would be domestic violence.”
“No. It’s only domestic violence if we’re dating.” You told him while stroking his hair.
“I don’t think that’s true.” Tom chuckled, feeling his face heat up again.
“The guilt won’t go away until you break my nose.” You said. “You have to do it.”
“Darling.” Tom cupped your face, making your panic halter. “I would never hurt you. And you would never hurt me. I know that. Don’t you know that?”
“Tell that to your broken nose.” You pouted as you put the ice pack back on his nose.
“Me and my broken nose forgive you.” He repeated. “And we’re not gonna punch you in the face.”
“Then at least let me take care of you today.” You countered. “I’ll take you back to the hotel and stay with you until you feel better.”
Not wanting to admit he felt better already, Tom nodded with a soft smile. He played along as you instructed him to lean on you as you brought him back to the hotel. You helped him on to the bed and he thought you’d leave it there, but he was pleasantly surprised when you climbed in bed next to him.
Tom laid his head in your lap as he held his ice pack to his face. You were running your hands through his hair and twirling his curls around your fingers.
“You do not have to be this nice to me.” Tom said as he gazed up at you.
“Yes I do.” You told him. “I broke your nose.”
“I broke my nose.” Tom reminded you. “You were just a witness to my embarrassment.”
“But I was a leading factor in you breaking it.” You groaned. “I was the number one cause.”
“You were not.” He insisted. “It’s no ones fault.”
“No ones fault but mine.” You grouched as you brushed the hairs off his forehead.
“You’re being ridiculous.” Tom laughed, but he was secretly loving it. “I need Instagram to see this.”
“I wanted to give you guys an update.” Tom said as he held his phone towards you. “She is now in my bed with my and combing my hair.”
“I feel so bad.” You whined for the millionth time as you carded your fingers through his curls.
“I know you do, love. But you don’t have to.” He smiled as he looked up at you. You looked at him for a moment before letting out a whine and leaning down to kiss his forehead. He kept recording as you kissed all over his face, nearing his lips a few times.
“The kisses are appreciated but they’re not going to heal my nose.” Tom chuckled as he sat up a little so you were holding him like a baby.
“They might.” You laughed as you continued to kiss his face. Your lips brushed the corner of his lips and he felt his heart stop for a minute. He started recording again, wanting to memorialize the day forever.
“I keep thinking you’re gonna kiss me.” Tom said quietly as his soft eyes stared into yours.
“I’m about to.” You laughed as you held his face in his face. You stroked your thumb over his cheekbone before leaning down and kissing him on the lips. You pulled away laughing after just a few seconds, leaving Tom completely starstruck.
“I can’t believe you just did that.” He sputtered as your contagious laughter got to him. He laughed too, accidentally posting the video as he let his phone fall on to the bed.
“I’m sorry.” You threw your head back laughing. “I just feel so bad.”
“You kissed me because you feel bad?” Tom asked as he laughter died down, feeling a little disappointed in the reason. You looked away and held back a smile, as well as the urge to say “no Tom, I kissed you because I’m in love with you.”
“What are people saying?” You changed the subject quickly to avoid that conversation.
“What?” Tom regained his composure, still hung up on the kiss.
“Online.” You explained. “I know you’ve been posting the videos. And I know people are talking.”
“Oh.” Tom nodded and scrolled through Twitter, still feeling a little disappointed. “They’re saying we make great couple.”
“What about you?” You asked coyly. “What do you think?”
“About what?” He furrowed his eyebrows.
“About what kind of couple we’d make.” You shrugged casually, but your heart was pounding in your ears. Tom opened his mouth but shut it, trying to decide what to say as he flushed a deep red.
“I don’t know.” He said softly. “All I know is you kissing and holding me all day is something I could get used to.”
“Oh.” Your voice was barely above a whisper as your eyes bore into his. He sat up a little and turned his body to face you.
“Actually, darling.” He continued with a soft tone. “I don’t think I’d ever get used to it. I think if someone like you was loving me, I’d be counting my blessings everyday. I don’t think I’d ever grow accustomed to the goosebumps I get when you look at me.”
“Are you sure you’d want to be loved by someone who broke your nose?” You asked playfully as you raised your eyebrow.
“As long as you don’t break my heart as well, I think I’ll be okay.” Tom smiled gently as he tucked your hair behind your ear. He left his hand there and slowly stroked your cheek with his thumb as he gazed into your eyes.
“I wouldn’t do that.” You shook your head as you kept your eyes on his lips.
“I believe you.” Tom mumbled before leaning in to kiss you. Before your lips could touch, you sharply pulled away and looked at him in a panic.
“Wait.” You shook your head as you collected yourself while a look of disappointment settled on Toms face.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” He sputtered. “I thought-“
“You have to tilt your head to the right.” You cut him off. “And I’ll go left.”
“What?” He blinked in confusion, still thinking you didn’t want to kiss him.
“So I don’t hurt your nose any further, silly.” You smiled at him as you leaned in again. He chuckled to himself before tilting his head to the right and leaning in the rest of the way. Your lips connected as you steered clear of his nose and suddenly, all his pain melted away.

Oikawa
He was at it again. Working late nights and shit. You were happy for him. You were. Of course you were. He was back doing what he loved. He was back playing volleyball. With that happiness also came fear and worry. You knew how he was. Everyone who ever met him, knew how he was. He over worked himself. He always did and scared you. No matter how hard he tried not to. He pushed himself past his limits. Even after the doctor already told him, if he didn’t ease up on the practice, his knee would get even worse. But he was Oikawa Tōru. Determined and intelligent.
It was ten thirty and he already missed your date. Which you expected to happen, but it still kind of hurt. You tried calling for the fifth time that night, but you were met with the same thing. After a few rings it went to voicemail.
“Hey! You’ve reached the voicemail of Oikawa Tōru, thank you for calling! At the moment I’m busy but I promise after I’m done I’ll call you back. If you want, leave me a message and I’ll get back to you. Byeee!”
You waited all night for him to come home around twelve thirty. He looked tired. Extremely tired and to be honest that pissed you off more. Not only did he not respond but he over worked himself again, and when he woke up the next night sore, you were the one who would have to take care of him.
Instead of bringing it up you waited for the morning. Not wanting to have this conversation while he was tired. It would feel like you were talking to yourself, and he wouldn’t understand. So you went to bed with him and by the morning he was already up before you.
You went to the kitchen to find him shuffling through your medication bin. “Are you sore?” You ask, looking at him.
“I’ll be fine, I just need breakfast and some medicine,” he muttered. He couldn’t have cared less. At least that’s what it looked like. He didn’t even spare you a glance.
“Maybe you should listen. You know, lay off volleyball practice for a day or something. Try to lesson the hours and stuff..” You looked back at him for his reaction.
“Can’t. If I ease up I’ll never be able to catch up.” He finally looked to you now, finding the medicine.
“I mean I think you will be fine. It is taking over your whole life and stuff so I just don’t want it to be a bigger issue. Like you know.. with your knees and stuff.” Your eyes are pinned on him.
“I told you not to worry about my knee, and it’s not taking up my life okay? It has and will always be my life. It’s the only thing I’m good at. So no, I'm not going to take a break.” He snapped at you. Which caught you off guard.
“It is… It is taking up your life,” you replied which made his face change.
“You don’t understand how it is like me. You don’t! I understand you don’t have anything you're good at and shit. But you have to understand that I actually have goals in life okay? You have to understand that my fucking life won’t revolve around you and how you feel when I do something. It won’t and never will. You and I are together because I feel like having you around. Because you know what, volleyball is the only thing that distracts me from leaving. Volleyball is the only thing I can do to escape you!” He screamed.
It takes a few seconds for the weight of his words to sink into your skin. But here’s the thing. You knew what you were up against when you started dating him. He just lit a fuse in you. A spark that made an explosion of feelings hit you. When it did you couldn’t control your words. “After all that practice I wondered why you never made it to nationals. I mean seriously. You need a distraction from me, right? Your always doing it, and get you can’t even fucking get to nationals. Not only that but I can see why your last girlfriend left you. You're a dick. You can’t remember a fucking date. A fucking date we have been planning for weeks. Oh wait, let me correct that, a date I’ve been planning for weeks. Not only that but I took my fucking time to work around your schedule. For you not to even send a message.” You spat out. You looked down at him, “I wonder sometimes if everyone was right. You and me. Never belonged. I’m just a distraction from such a ‘handsome’ and ‘kind’ person.”
He looked hurt at first, but then again he started it and intended to finish it. “I can see why your whole family doesn’t talk to you. You always think you're the best or something. Maybe I remembered the date. Have you ever thought of that? Maybe I didn’t wanna hangout with you. Maybe I didn’t want to hear you nagging me every fucking second. You know what? I can see why people fucking hate you. Bully you and shit. Your such a fucking selfish freak.”
“What..?” You looked at him. You told him you were bullied, because you thought of him as your safe space. You thought of him as the only person who understood you. You felt safe when he was around you. You felt understood. To use that against you. To say you deserved it. To say you deserved to get hurt. To get shamed. To get everything that happened to you… it was your fault?
“What are you too dumb to understand?” He laughed at you. Hatred and venom spilling from his lips. “Awe.. look at the baby. You should be grateful I didn't break up with you. You should be thankful because I’m the only reason you're even someone.”
Tears filled your eyes. “God fucking damn it.” You muttered softly. You weren’t going to allow him to take you down. You were stronger then he would ever understand. “You really think anyone wants to hang out with you..? Do you fucking think anyone find you a good person..? Your just a fucking pretty face, okay? Your nothing compared to anyone else on your team. You might not realize it but to be honest sometimes I do want to be set free. Set free from this shitty relationship okay? That’s the truth. Sometimes I get sick of having to take care of you. When your fucking sore before you over works your self again. I am the only one trying to keep you okay. I’m the only one who actually thinks about the long run. No matter how hard you practice in the end you won’t even be able to walk. Let alone play volleyball and shit. You know what sometimes I get sick of being the only fucking one trying to keep us together.”
“Then maybe you should give up okay. Maybe we should finally go our separate ways. I mean after all, you're too easy.” He was hurt. He just blurted out whatever he thought would hurt you the most. Which fucking worked. Before you had said anything more he had left the room, leaving you stunned.
It took a moment but before you knew it you were out of the house, crying and walking the farthest away from your shared house as you could. “Fuck..” you whisper. Did he really not want to be with you..? You should have known. This relationship wasn’t a relationship. You barely talked. You felt alone. So fucking alone.
It took an hour for him to fully cool down. When he walked out of the room he was expecting you to be waiting for him. He was expecting everything to be okay. When he was met with the emptiness. The emptiness of you being actually gone. He was met with the realization that his words were taken just how he thought he wanted them to be.
You on the other hand we’re at the park blasting music in your ears. Forcing the thoughts to be pushed deep down. Forcing you to forget everything. Everything that hurts you. Maybe it would be best if you guys did go your separate ways..? You knew this wasn’t good for your mental health. But fuck that. This was the only thing that made you feel grounded. Made you feel okay. When he wasn’t with you or practicing he was out with friends, drinking and partying. You couldn’t continue to live like this. So maybe it would be best to let go. To give up on everything and everything you loved… your everything was him. You always argued and at this point you felt sick. Thinking about it just broke you. You had no more tears to cry, with your tear stained cheeks you decided to go back. To your home. It was over. Everything you had built up was coming crashing down.
On his side he was freaking out. He knew he was in the wrong. He knew there was no excuse for what he did to you, but what could he say? You were gone already. It took a bit for him to get to the nerve to call you. To his surprise he heard the sound of your ringing phone. So you left it. Maybe you were going to come back. Maybe you will and then everything will be okay again. Maybe everything would be perfect. It was a small chance but that's all he could hold on to.
When you walked in it was quiet, but there were soft whimpers and cries coming from your shared room. Gently you knocked on the door and waited for a response. You were surprised when you immediately heard a stumble and then were met with a hug. Your shoulder almost immediately feels wet to the touch. “Ba.. Oikawa..?” You muttered.
“Please don’t call me that.. please..” He muttered softly. His face buried deep into your clothes.
You kinda ignored his response. “I came back to get my stuff. I took into consideration what you said and I realized that you don’t deserve to be distracted by me all the time..” You whispered softly. “So like you said earlier.. I think it is best if we stop seeing each other.. entirely because I don’t know if I could let you go otherwise..”
His arms tightened around you, “C..can we please talk about it first.. please..” his nightmare was coming true, and maybe it was dumb but he didn’t realize how much he needed you.
“There’s nothing to talk about.. I don’t understand why you want to make it harder on me. I gave you what you wanted okay..? You can practice your heart out and hangout with your friends and stuff okay? You can finally find someone who will fit all your needs. You and I both know that I will never be what you want. So maybe it would be best if we just let go..”
“No… please no.. that’s not what I want.. I want to make it up to you and be there for you and I want to make you happy and I want everything to be perfect. I know I messed up okay? I don’t deserve you and I don’t know what came over me today because you're everything I’ve ever wanted. I know I don’t deserve it and there’s no excuse for what I said or did… I know I should let you find someone better but I love you. I love you so fucking much. I know I’ve been lacking and I want to make up for it. I want to be someone you want to be around again.. I love you so fucking much okay? I should have been there. I shouldn’t have said the things I did. I know I don’t deserve a second chance but please.. just one more.. I promise I’ll make it up to you.” He didn’t want to let go of everything.
“I’m sorry too.. you didn’t deserve it. I’m sorry for everything and that’s why I want to let you go. To find someone who will not hurt you like I hurt you.. You and I both know that I can't resist it. I don’t know why you do this to me.. pull me back.. you have one more chance… Please don’t make me regret it. I really love you but this.. this isn’t going to work if we do what we are doing now okay? We will just tear each other more and more apart..” you whispered gently, kissing his head. Your arms finally meet his back as you hold him. “I’m sorry.. but I’ve got you now baby. I love you so fucking much..”
Tumblr media
Kyoutani
Kyoutani was the type of person most people would never understand. Not because they were “difficult” or anything.. they just never took the time too. Well other than you. You were different. You understood his outburst and such. But at the same time you were human. There was only so much you could take. There was only so much you would take.
When he came into the locker room you were already waiting for him. He had been thrown out of the game for fighting with a few people. You knew he was frustrated. You could hear the crowd from a mile away shouting to kick him off. It was harsh. Even for ‘mad dog’ which he hated to be called. He hated to be tied to an animal.. and always being an angry reck. Anybody would. But of course nobody understood other than you. When he sat on the bench you immediately rushed over.
“Baby.. I’m sorry.. You didn’t deserve that.. just ignore them, please. I know it’s hard but their not important okay..?” You we’re just trying to comfort him. But there were times when Kyoutani couldn’t control himself. Like any other person when they get looked down at every fucking moment of their lives. When they are ridiculed and laughed at all the time. When they are nothing more than an angry person.. Sometimes there is nothing more to do than be the person everyone so desperately makes you out to be.
“Not important? Not important! I just got fucking kicked from the game because of them chanting to kick me. They didn’t even fucking have the decency to call me by my name. So don’t tell me it’s okay and that their opinion on me doesn’t matter. Because quite frankly their opinion is the only one that matters it seems.” He lashed out.
“I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just that.. it wasn’t entirely their fault. You were arguing with the other team members.” You muttered. It wasn’t meant to do any harm, just for him to keep in mind.
“Are you serious right now.? Nobody else got kicked. Nobody. If they can’t handle a little trash talking, maybe they shouldn’t play a sport. I mean seriously there’s no need for them to tell the referees to kick me.” He started raising his voice when he spoke.
“I know it’s just that.. maybe you should try and not trash talk you know?” You whispered softly, retreating a bit.
“What?” He looked annoyed. “God ducking damn it. How can you be so cute but so fucking annoying. I mean seriously how can someone with such a face be so fucking dumb and so annoying?” His hands were balled into fist
“I..I don’t understand, can you tell me why you act so sweet..? Then so cold the next moment..? You don’t mean it right..? Please say you don’t mean it.” You were worried you loved him but god it was hard. It was hard to respond when your friends asked about your relationship. It was hard when they flaunted their perfect relationship and then asked about yours. Its was so fucking hard.
“Do you think I would say it otherwise..?” He looked at you. He laughed at you as he saw your pitiful expression. God it was almost sickening how much he saw that expression. That expression that nobody else had ever shown him. The one of worry  but at the same time already knowing it was coming. He loved it. He loved everything about you. But most of the time you pissed him off. This relationship wasn’t healthy. But for god sake you already started counseling. But fuck this was a bad idea.
Silence. Nothing could come out. You wanted to scream. You wanted to forget this. You wanted it to stop. Everything to stop.
“Answer me.” He punched the wall next to you. Fear spreading all over your face. Fuck. Fuck. Not here. Please no. He gripped your warm face making it so cold in seconds. Forcing you to look at him he laughed at your crying face. But when you didn’t stop for a minute he immediately backed away. He fucked up. He knew he fucked up. “Wait I’m sorry baby..” he muttered.
“Please stop. Please. I won’t do it again.” Flashbacks we’re pulling you way too far out. You were drowning. No one was around to save you. He was laughing as you begged to be saved, pushing you deeper into your own pool of your own thoughts. You were so cold. The next second you were able to move back to the surface.
Realization hit as he stepped back. “I..I am sorry..” he muttered softly as he left the room without another word leaving his mouth. Words were banging on his lips but he knew if he spilled them out everything out it would just hurt you ten times more.
You got up five minutes later, finally pulled back to reality and decided to get up. Grabbing your stuff you walked back into the stadium. Waving a small wave to the rest of his team before exiting. Confusion was read all over as they saw your tear stained face. To be honest, all that was running through your mind was that you didn’t want Kyoutani to break up with you. You didn’t want to be alone, again. You didn’t want to be just another one of his ex’s. So for the better of both of you it would be best to leave him be. To let him cool off.. for him to feel better.
He was freaking out. He fucked up. You. You were his everything, not only that but you were more than just that. You were like a fucking rainbow at the end of a rainy day. You were his partner in crime. You made him feel normal, you made him feel safe, and loved. He couldn’t believe he just put that all in danger. He just put everything on the line because of some stupid game. He hit the wall hard, “fuck me. I’m sorry y/n..” he muttered as he sank to the floor and balled up. Tears burning through his eyes. He did the one thing he promised you that he would protect you from. You became the one thing he was always scared of becoming. He loved you so much, he love you so fucking much.
You left and got into your car. Sinking into your seat you locked the doors, and hit the steering wheel. Taking a deep breath salty tears rolled down your already stained face. Placing the key in and turning it the car started. Next thing you knew you had left wherever you could go. You loved him. So fucking much. But it was hard to be okay when he acted so fucking rough with you. It was hard to stay calm and not imagine your past relationship in this one. You tried. You really did but god it was hard to feel okay, feel okay about everything happening around you. It was too much. So fucking much. It made your head hurt.
When the game ended Kyoutani was still freaking out, now moved back into the lockers. He didn’t know what he was expecting but he knew he hoped you would still be there. God damn it. He fucked up. You had left. You were gone. Tears brimming his eyes as he teammates walked in. Now mentioning it to his teammates their faces seemed to change. More salty fucking tears left his eyes, as he heard about what type of pain you looked like you were in.
You headed back to your shared place. Unsure where else to go. You weren’t close with your family anymore. You had no friends. You had no work buddies. You had nobody but Kyoutani and in turn, now you were left alone with the thought of everything being gone. Ripped right out of your hands as you're forced to watch your whole world come crumbling down on you. You placed your stuff down on the side and laid on the bed. It smelled just like safety. Just like Kyoutani. You just wanted to be held. You just wanted everything to be perfect, again. To be okay at least. You needed him more than anything.
After a night out he finally made it back to your shared place. He didn’t want to be back without you, but you weren’t answering and he didn’t know what else to do. When he walked into the apartment he slowly walked into your shared room. There he saw you. Laying in bed cuddled up in the blankets. Slowly and carefully he walked up. Not wanting to cause you any more hurt. He missed you. Even for a few hours he had felt like he hadn’t seen you in years. But maybe that was because he thought that’s what might have happened. Maybe he thought you had left for good. Maybe he thought he would never have the chance to apologize. Never have the chance to hold you again. When he reached the bed he noticed that you were awake. “Hey y/n..” he muttered softly. The silence was killing him. “I’m so sorry. I know I fucked up. I promised to make you feel safe and protected around me. I made a promise to keep you safe and protected. I broke both of those. I fucked up. I know I did. I lashed out again. I did exactly what everyone says I do. I just get so fucking heated for no reason and I know I shouldn’t and I know I should just relax. But I feel like if I do the worlds would burn though my throat and then it would just explode.. and I know it’s stupid and I know I end up hurting you more. I know that there is no good reason to do that. But I just.. I don’t know. You're the only one that makes me feel normal okay..? I know it’s not fair. I know it’s not. You just make me feel like whenever I’m with you that I’m floating. I just want everything to be okay again. I want everything to be back to normal. I know I should give you space but I missed you so much. I don’t want you to leave, please don’t leave..” he was crying again. He barely had any tears left to cry. He wanted to hold you but he knew it was a stupid idea. “I’m sorry for being so selfish.. but please..”
You never really heard him or saw him crack. But fuck. It hurts you so much. To see him beg for you to stay with him. What were you supposed to do..? Leave him now? That was never even the plan. You didn’t have a plan to be honest. You sat up biting your lip before you gently held him. “Hey baby it will be okay.. calm down I’ve got you.. I’m not going anywhere now. I promise you I’m not going anywhere.” You muttered softly. He melted into your touch. He knew he didn’t deserve it but he felt like he couldn’t breathe. “Shush… I’ve got you.. take a deep breath..” you mumbled softly kissing his head as he took deep breaths. Soon enough he was relaxed in your arms again. “You know and I know that I love you so much. But there’s a line between where I can take it and I can’t. I understand you get frustrated but I don’t deserve to be treated like that. I don’t deserve to be scared of being hit.. and I know we both know that. I try to be understanding but you need to try to be too okay..? I love you so much.. more than you might believe but Kyoutani I can’t handle being in a relationship with you if you're constantly annoyed or angry with me. I think we deserve to be happy.. and if that means needing to take a break then we would have to okay? You need to work on communicating. I know it can be hard.. but please..” you whispered. Tears flowing down your soft skin again. It was getting a lot. So it would be best if you told him… you needed him to understand.
He gently shook his head. He understood. He knew he was in the wrong. He knew he was lucky for you to be holding him.. for him to even still be in a relationship with you let alone it be still a romantic one. He loved you and he knew you didn’t deserve anything that he put you through. In the end all that mattered was you in his eyes. He was going to change.. he was. “I promise.. thank you y/n..” he whispered softly. Gently he wrapped his arms around you. “I love you so much..” he muttered. Everything would be okay.. he knew it was going to be now. All that mattered was that you were safe. That you were happy.. that you were in his arms again.

Tumblr media
One month after the breakup.
Strong whiskey, on the rocks. That was his drink of choice that night. The night before had been a beer. You knew you could imagine the taste of his lips by only looking at him. You wondered if he’d gone there for a second night for the same reason you had.
When you had seen him across the place the night before, you had tried to decide how to feel. We always think we will react one way or another when we see our official heartbreak walking through. Victorious as he is perfectly dressed, with his hair flowing.
He hadn’t brought her. Which you didn’t know how to feel about.
The day before you had not been alone, Jules, Matty, and Lula were there.
“Shit, the axolotl at 10 o'clock, you’ve got to be shitting me,” Lourdes, Lula, had whispered before sipping her drink, a Long Island Tea. “We are celebrating she’s doing better, can’t fucking believe this,” she hissed at Jules who only lifted her chin slightly to see who she was referring to. “What the fuck is he doing here? Ay, es que, con qué huevos se atreve a venir aquí? Que no mame.” [with what balls did he dare to come here? He shouldn’t fuck with us. ]
You loved hanging out with Lula and listening to her very refined Spanish cursing.
“It’s not him,” Julia said.
You tried looking back to see who they were referring to. “Who is—?”
“Y/N, wait I just noticed the haircut!” Matt pointed out, reaching over, getting your attention back to them and not at whatever they were referring to. “It looks great. It’s like a new you!”
This new you. The one that had been screwed over twice. Men really have the nerve when it comes to breaking hearts. They recklessly go in and let you believe love comes in all shades of colors, passionate red like the roses they send, and tender pinks like your sweet innocence that they end up stealing. But they never tell you it’ll be you all alone in a dark room with shades of grey under a flickering light that barely warms you.
The new you, which was still a bit lost. Your old self was a stranger to you now. You had no idea who this new you was, she was quiet now. Didn’t have a heart because someone had stolen it and broken it and left it behind a dumpster. Still trying to find it. The new you wasn't.. you.
Your friends were glad, however, they finally got you to go out again. After weeks of wearing plaid and watching Fleabag, and even considering watching Greys Anatomy, a low point, you had finally decided to come back to see if there was any sunshine left for you.
It’s important to point out that you had been broken-hearted and almost crazy when the breakup had happened. Very… delusional. You were not proud of the way you’d reacted. Although you wouldn’t have reacted any other way.
The city had been quiet, the red lights seemed to last longer, and the crowds would often swallow you. The city you once loved was now an open book of a relationship that seemed real, should’ve known it was all fiction.
In your dreams they’d be bright, colorful. The village is aglow. Cold days with warm hearts. Like his.
You’d been cold ever since.
“Ah, yeah, the haircut. Got it today. Lula’s idea” The haircut had come as the solution to a problem that would never be solved. As if cutting your hair meant there was something you had the power on. You didn’t.
How stupid was it? You couldn’t control your life.
“It suits her well, doesn’t it?” Lula admitted proudly.
You still had his picture engraved in your heart. You still dreamed he would come back and say it was all a nightmare.
“It’s nice, I’m glad to have you back,” Jules commented. Julia had probably been the most surprised with the news of the breakup, she had almost gone and killed Tom when he had….unimportant. She hadn’t, though, and she had yet to tell you the reason why. Julia had been mysterious since.
“I’m glad to be back,” you confirmed. You’d ordered a beer, and maybe you shouldn’t have. Stella Artois, his one favorite. You pocketed the beer cap. “Though I was not gone.”
Matt watched you, him and Julia had recently started dating. Best friends since kids who just recently confessed their feelings for each other, took them long enough. “How back are you, though?”
“Meaning?” You asked, taking a sip.
Matt shrugged, “I could introduce you to some friends from work, there’s this hot guy—“
“No,” you interrupted him, leaving the bottle down as you had almost choked. “No, no. Not in the dating area yet. Won’t be in a long time. Still healing.”
Lula still had her eyes glued elsewhere. “Healing from a bullet hole, y/n, whatever you’re doing isn’t working, and band aids won’t fix it—Jules it is, I swear to god it’s him.”
“It’s not him,” Julia rolled her eyes.
“Ay, que sí!” [he is]
“Who?” You asked.
Julia took your hands, “you know Lula,” she rolled her eyes. “I love that you ordered a beer.”
“Yeah,” you gulped. “Beer is universal language for men as in: ‘don’t get close to me.’” A lesson someone dear had taught you once.
Matt tilted his head in agreement, “Yeah.”
“Really?” Lula frowned, “should’ve ordered one. Next time I’ll ask for my drink but instead of a glass I’ll ask them to put it in a beer bottle.”
“Wouldn't it be easier to order a beer?” Matt suggested.
“But then I’d break our tradition.”
Matt watched her, “you really are something.”
You chuckled.
“Why is beer seen as not—feminine?” Matt questioned.
Julia shrugged. “It’s beyond me, really. It’s a drink.”
“Like does my drink make me less of a man?” Matt watched his glass, another Long Island Tea. A stupid inside joke you all had.
“No,” you admitted. “But you know how society is. Since it’s sweet, it’s got to be—“
“Oh, no, no, I love you, y/n, but tonight I don’t want you lecturing us on it, no, tonight we are having fun, ok?” Lula reminded you. “We will not talk about femininity or lack of a beer—or whatever your agenda is up to these days, which, hey! Why does y/n get to break the rule?” Lula questioned. “No Long Island Tea?
Julia glared at her, “Because she can do whatever she wants tonight,” she hissed and then turned to you. “But how are you feeling? It’s your first time going out in months, is it as fun?” Julia was the one to try to cheer you up the most.
No, it wasn’t fun.
“I—feel good!” You lied. Although you were not. But you guessed that’s the response they wanted after seeing you laying down on the ground and crying yourself to sleep. Staring at windows and walking down in the rain. They wanted you to feel better.
Your body was covered in scars.Though, they were from adventures.
“Bullshit,” Lula intruded. “You seem sad. Maybe I’ll get some shots,” she announced before going to get some.
“Well,” you chuckled. “My first time going out and you bring me back to the place where it all started?” You answered cynically but then shrugged. “I’m—I…no. I just—It’s weird. I still see him everywhere, and as I’m here it’s like watching a movie of our greatest moments,” you admitted. “Like hey, look over there, it’s Tom and Y/N’s greatest moments,” you stated, Lula got back. “Let’s start memory lane…”and you sighed and continued with the best presenter voice you had. “Here you’ll wonder how the hell did it go so wrong since they were so perfect, what the hell went wrong, when did it turn into some sad stupid love affair. You’ll be asking yourself hey, they seemed in love, over there, they danced! Over there… they sang a song together! See over there? There was a fucking jukebox in which they have memories! Oh they have memories there too! And you’ll ask yourself, he made it seem real, what the hell happened?” You sighed exhaustedly. “What happened? What the fuck happened? How was I so stupid?” You ran your hands through your face.
Your friends only watched you, with pity, sadness. Even Lula had turned her gaze guilty.
You cleared your throat, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
“No,” Lula sighed, “it’s our fault for bringing you here. We’re fucking idiots. Besides he is—Julia I swear to god, he is there.” Lula raised her hand and Julia quickly pulled it down.
Julia bit her lip, “I—hadn’t realized how much Tom there is here.”
“Yeah.”
“He called me—“Matt had started.
“No, no, we can’t talk about him, baby,” Julia reminded him. Matt widened his eyes and nodded.
You blinked, “no, it’s—He called you? Tom?” Why had Tom called Matty? What for?
“Yeah, had a missed call,” Matt explained, ignoring his girlfriend. “I—it was this morning.”
You felt your chest twist. “Yeah, I get a lot of those too.”
Perhaps he wanted to talk to you and thought Matty was dumb enough to give you the phone.
Julia glared at Matt. “We promised not to—“
“No, hey,” you stopped her. “I—sorry, I brought him up.”
“But we shouldn’t talk about him,” Julia insisted. “Tonight is all about having fun,” she stated as she handed everyone their shots.
“No, it’s alright,” you said. “I’m fine talking about it.”
Lula turned her gaze to you. “Shouldn’t you hate him?”
Were you supposed to hate someone who gave you something so beautiful? Just because it’s over doesn’t mean you have to look back and hate it.
“No,” you answered simply.
Matt watched you. “Wait, really?”
You took a deep breath. “Yeah, I’m—I decided I’m thankful for everything. He really… I… I mean I knew from the start he was trouble. But he got me to get rid of Will. So I’m thankful for Tom. He showed me some beautiful things about him, about myself and… I’m thankful. Even the part when he broke my heart.”
It was a lie. Partly. You had been so full of doubts that you only tried wondering why it had gone so wrong. Or course, the lie was there. His lies. But how could any of it be a lie?
Julia smiled gently, “You’re really a grown up.”
“Or very stupid.” Lula commented.
“Thanks, Lula, I appreciate it,” you rolled your eyes. “I… well, I’ve gotta admit I was pretty stupid.”
Lula shrugged, “Hey, I don’t blame you, boy came in with an accent, he had a cute smile, he was hot, I must admit, and he wasn’t one of those Brooklyn fuckboys that take you to the rooftop and offer you a whiteclaw to watch the sunrise together,” Lula gave in.
“Oh, and they take candid pictures, and they say that their phone camera isn’t as good as their polaroid,” Julia laughed, “But hey, you’re lucky they took you to the rooftop, they never take anyone there, they took you there just because you’re…”
“Different,” Julia, Lula and you chanted.
Matt laughed, “You guys are the worst.”
“Anyway,” Lula said. “We should drink these,” she pointed at the shot glasses as she raised her own. “I came here to get drunk. So, to Y/N being thankful Tom was a piece of shit even when the boy had a dreamy accent?”
You closed your eyes, and let out a defeated dry chuckle. “Yes, to that.”
“To the piece of shit, then!” Lula grinned as the shots clinked and were downed. You instantly regretted drinking it.
Lula scowled as she had her eyes glued back at the bar, “It’s him, Julia, it’s him! What is he doing here? Pendejo, I swear to god I’ll go kill him.” She was furious, and you tried once again following her gaze.
The bar was crowded, red lights crossed around the place, with girls walking with tall heels, trying to smile and nod at guys who were talking to them but clearly were not of interest to them. Friends laughing, people flirting. You didn’t know who your friends were watching.
But the bar seemed to be enough of a reminder of him. How he had made you feel like crowds were never there, and how whenever you had been with him everything disappeared just to be with him.
“Who are we killing?” You questioned.
“Is new y/n a murderer?” Asked Matt. Matt and Julia were your oldest friends. The three of you grew up in Staten Island, and now moved to the crowded places.
Lula coughed. “Hope she is.” Lula, on the other hand, you’ve met in college, she was a very defined addition to the friend group. With more personality. A strong one. Lula, Julia and you shared a small apartment.
Julia cleared her throat.
“The fucking scarf,” Lula scowled.
“What scarf?” Matt asked. And you had the same question.
Julia whispered to her boyfriend’s ear who had turned cold. He lifted his head.
“But it’s not.”
“It is him,” Matt confirmed to Lula. “Jules, it is.”
And now your three friends were acting strange. Usually they did but this was strang-er. They all shared looks, Julia struggled with her hands.
They were watching you with pity but you’d gotten used to that. After the breakup they had been extra careful around you, kinder, you guessed.
Fools they were to believe that by not mentioning him you wouldn’t think of him. He was a memory that would haunt you for the rest of the days.
“So, y/n,” Julia was clearly hiding whatever Lula was seeing.
“Wasn’t he in London? What in this fucking world is he doing here?” Lula continued.
“Shut up!” Julia ordered.
“London?” You asked and you lifted your head, and any noise that was bustling before had stopped.
Tom.
Tom was there.
Thomas.
Tom who had broken your heart. In every possible way that he could’ve. Like he had planned it. Like he was aware.
He was there, on a stool with a beer in his hand and wearing a red scarf. The red scarf. As if he was mocking you.
Tom.
Did he pride on hurting you?
He had always said you were invincible. That you were unrivaled in matters of the heart. Was he proud he had beaten the unbeaten?
You’d always thought he would.
When we love deeply, getting hurt comes as a given. But when we love deeply, we are never expecting it to come. And when it does come the skies cannot turn grayer. Funny thing, you were a fan of the rain but when the rain doesn’t cease, the hope doesn’t perdure.
But he was back in your life. Or at least he had been in the same room as you after months.
What was he doing back in New York with your scarf?
You turned back to your own table, breathing in quickly, bringing your hand to your chest in an attempt to calm yourself down.
You saw your friends speaking but you couldn’t make a word of what they’re saying. Your heart was rushing. Thomas was there. Tom. Your Tom. And there was a part of you that had completely forgotten over the heartbreak and wanted to run to him.
Kiss him, try to fix it. Try to bring back the beautiful thing you both had. Because it was. And it hurt looking back.
You were having trouble breathing now, the heartbreak had come.
That’s the worst thing about heartbreak. You never saw it coming, though you should’ve. Though it was beautiful you’d known from the start you’d end up hurt. But when a lie is crafted so beautifully, how could you?
“It’s him.” The words had come in whispers.
You barely remembered what had happened next. You had only stood up, decisive to leave, you’d seen him try to walk his way to you. You’d heard him call your name, but you hadn’t turned back, you had seen Matty stop him from running to you.
It was blurry. You didn’t know how you got home. Desperately trying to understand why he was there and how the night had turned too badly.
Lula and Matt had come back later to find Julia trying to comfort you, hugging a pillow that you were sure he had slept on. Breathless.
But it was in the past now, you were there again. Same bar, both in stools far away.
You were almost sure he’d gone to that bar in hopes of finding you again.
Just like you’d gone again.
His eyes the night before were guilty. You only took a deep breath, you remembered trying to avoid his glance at any chance as you had walked out.
Why were you there again?
That feeling in your chest growing, like there was something heavy expanding. Yet your stomach falling smaller. The pain was but a shield, as if it was creating a special protection around your heart, and though it hurt it was enough for it to make your heart strong to leave the place.
You didn’t want to see Tom. You hadn’t talked to him since. Even when he’d tried to call. Even when you’d tried calling.
Not when you had replayed the breakup over and over and over again since he was gone.
Everyone deals with breakups in different ways. Yours, specifically, was avoiding it. Everything and everyone. Especially Tom.
It was hard when he was everywhere. In that tattoo he’d convinced you to get, in that ring he’d left, in that cereal box that you still hadn’t finished. Whenever you listened to a song he’d recommended. Whenever you’d open Netflix and that series you had started watching together was still recommended to you even when you’d deleted it.
Everywhere.
You couldn’t use your favorite colors because you could hear it, in the back of your head “I love how it looks on you.” “You should wear more blue, it suits you.”
Even your stupid laugh remind you of him. “Your laugh is the most wonderful thing I’ve heard, even if it’s so ugly.”
You missed the person you were when he was with you. How everything was happy. Who was that y/n? Who didn’t mind if she was slightly late to a place because he’d come with you? Who didn’t feel alone at parties when she knew nobody because you knew him?
A y/n that existed only for a short period of time when he’d been around and that he’d shattered like glass when he had the chance.
You missed that y/n.
The y/n that would sometimes lose her breath and catch it back when he walked into the room. A y/n that sang along to her favorite songs all day. The one that would give her heart in a rush to him. The one that watched movies no matter if they were good or not.
Life had colors back then.
Now you were full of regrets and of doubts. Wondering what you had done wrong? Where did it lead you?
You looked up at him then. He was staring down at his glass.
There was a slight trace of him still there, the Tom you once loved. The one with the silly smile and the gentle chuckle, the one with the jokes about everything.
You wondered how much of that y/n he saw too.
You were the same two people, in essence. But how different you were now.
The Tom you knew before finding out it was a lie.
There was still a hint. You knew. But there was so much of him in you that it was hard to see if you still were there. Or the Tom you thought you knew. Not the one with the lie. Or maybe this was the truest Tom he could ever be.
He had to move on, rather quickly, you recalled. If he ever did.
There was a stupid reminder of you in his hand, that red scarf from the very first day.
You still remembered how it all started, a stupid red scarf. He kept it, then, and he wore it.
You had ordered a beer, too. You pocketed the cap again.
But there was an image in your mind, maybe he had gone back and probably had his arm around her and he laughed at a joke she made. Maybe she was funnier than you. Definitely prettier, with her hair falling down all the way to her waist, her clothing accentuating everything you didn’t have.
You recalled having to leave the room when you found out. You had been a mess.
Leaning against a wall as you caught your breath before the tears came down, as if he had pierced right through it. A pain chest that had expanded all the way on your body, not sure how you were able to keep walking back to your place. Falling down to your knees when you did.
Pain. Words failed to describe such a deep sentiment.
But it was gone now. Not entirely but at least you could hold your breath fine when he was just across the room.
What went wrong?
You could ask him. He was right there.
Maybe even tell him how you had lost sight. He hadn’t walked up to you. He was nervous, but he seemed calm enough to see you were there. You were still unsure why you had gone there.
Maybe all the good things were enough to bring you there, maybe the fact that you still didn’t believe it was a lie brought you there. Maybe the fact that one of those pictures from that photobooth was still in a locket. So stupid.
He fiddled with the glass.
You waited and waited but he didn’t approach you. He took out a paper out of his pocket as he stared at it.
You wouldn’t approach him. No matter how happy he had made you once, you wouldn’t walk to him. No matter how beautiful it was. No matter if you were lonely and that when you dared to sleep he’d be haunting your dreams.
It was a tragedy now. What you both were, and not even worth enough to try and save it. You knew you were haunting him too. Otherwise he wouldn’t be here.
He was shakin, as he stared at you, nervous. He downed his drink, you guessed it was for some liquid courage and stood up, with the note in one hand and your red scarf in the other.
Your own courage for coming here was gone, as you saw his intentions, the urge to run you had the night before was becoming you. But he couldn’t walk. He had to sit down again, rubbing his face.
The courage that had come when choosing what Lula called the ‘revenge black dress’ was nowhere in sight. You were cold and regretting putting it on.
“I can’t do this,” you said to yourself and quickly let out some dollars to pay for your drink before picking up your stuff to leave.
You saw he panicked when he saw you leaving, he quickly called the bartender to pay for his drink.
You closed your coat as you were shaking yourself, punishing yourself for going there. Why had you gone there? The man had broken your heart? Were you really there to see him?
Was your heart foolish enough to ignore the warnings in your mind once again?
You walked your way to get to the subway station, how irrelevant you were through the crowds. You hadn’t felt this way for a while, caring for the crowds. But you had to get through them. There was a part of you that wished Tom was following you after. But the crowds didn’t let you see if he was.
Besides, you shouldn’t want that.
You finally managed to get to the station, you clung to your purse as you stared at the tracks, waiting for the next train to come. Peaceful it seemed, the station. As peaceful as New York could be. You guessed if you cried nobody would care.
“y/n!” You heard your name in the distance and you couldn’t handle it.
You took a deep breath and shook your head, angrily. Why had you gone? You could’ve easily kept ignoring his calls. You could’ve stayed in your apartment, crying as you watched SNL videos on youtube, or rewatching a cartoon for the hundredth time, letting your own sadness and self pity swallow you.
But you had gone to him. This was your fault. You should’ve taken a cab, instead, he would know you’d get at this station and he for sure would know what train you’d take.
“y/n, y/n!” He kept calling as he finally arrived next to you. “Sorry I would’ve gotten here faster but the damn MetroCard-”
“I’m not doing this, Tom,” you stated before he could go on rambling like the idiot he was. You couldn’t do it. “Not here, not anywhere. I don’t know what you’re doing here.”
“I…” His face was kind, and he seemed to be nervous. You could tell he hadn’t been sleeping, probably the jet lag.
You took a moment to look at him, he didn’t look as victorious as you had thought he was. His hair was messy, and his cheeks flushed, the buttons on his shirt were not buttoned right.
Seeing him again, with that signature look he had made you want to go down to your knees.
“Aren’t you supposed to be back in London?” You snapped. “With that pretty girl-”
“No, no, I’m-I’m sorry, I’m really sorry,” Tom stuttered. “I was an idiot.”
You stared into his eyes, you were not ready for this. You were not ready to look into his stupid eyes. You looked away. “That’s all you have to say?” You tried walking away from him..
He shook his head. “No, no, no, no, I… No, I actually… I had this… I wrote down my apology,” Tom confessed. He showed you a sad, handwritten paper, now slightly teared up with the ink running. “I… I had….”
You looked down at it, his messy handwriting, crinkled with words scratched down. “You wrote it down?”
You didn’t know why you felt your heart warm. This kind of stuff was why you couldn’t understand what had happened. Someone like him, who writes his apologies down. Someone who stutters when he’s speaking.
“Yeah, I… but I spilled my drink on it after seeing you fled,” He explained, swallowing hard. “I… I… I had written it down so I wouldn’t forget it but now I realize how stupid that is… I’m… I’m really sorry, y/n.” .
You could hear the train coming. You were seeing him again. It hit you right there. And this was not the reaction you thought. You had said you would be delusional, crying and fighting and questioning him why the fuck he had done that.
Yet you weren’t. You were only watching him, eyes full of tears wanting to slide down but unable to. But there was that pain still in your chest.
How could he ever dare to hurt you that way? “I don’t want to talk to you,” you said. And meant it. “Please leave me alone.” You said before walking into the train.
“Y/N, please, no, please, please, listen to me,” He followed you in, the scarf still in his hand.
You tried sitting as far away as you could. Arms and legs crossed as you tried breathing in.
He sat beside you and you changed seats. He sighed but followed you again. “Please, I need to talk to you. I never meant to hurt you.”
“Well you did,” you snapped. “You did, and now you come here a month later with a handwritten note apology thinking I will be fine with it?”
He pinched the bridge of his nose. “I had to solve-Please, would you listen?” Tom asked, knowing damn well he had to ask, and not just straight up blurt it out.
“Why would I, Tom?” You turned to him, with a tear traveling down your cheek. You were incredulous. “You’re kidding me, right? I… You… You think that just because you show up with that stupid face of yours and my scarf I’ll want to listen to you? You’re an idiot.”
He sighed and reached to give you the scarf. You ignored it.You were furious now.
The other people on the train were certainly getting a show. A guy with a backpack was trying to pretend he wasn’t listening but his reactions were giving it away. Another woman pretended to keep reading her book but she hadn’t turned any pages.
Tom took the scarf back staring at it. “I need to explain everything to you.”
“What if I don’t want an explanation?” You snapped. Though you did. You had been waiting for one, you wanted one. You would beg for it. But your pride was taking the wheel of the conversation. “Don’t you think it’s fucking late for it?”
“Is it?” Tom turned back to you.
“Yes!” You couldn’t believe him. But this seemed a bit too familiar of a conversation. “And beside no explanation would make me forgive you!” You stated, whispering, not wanting any of the attention you were receiving.
“I’m not… I… If you just listen to me,” Tom said.
You glared, “I don’t want anything to do with you.”
“Then why did you come to the bar?” He asked.
He fucking asked.
Your eyes widened. He had gone there. He knew. He fucking knew you’d gone back because you wanted an explanation. Or so he thought. No, you’d gone back because… Yes, because you wanted an explanation. Because everything he’d done had been beautiful. Until the heartbreak. He had crafted and vexed his way into your cold stupid heart and then he had gone and pierced right through it, crushed it.
You wanted to ask why. Why did he do it so vehemently?
You didn’t answer, instead you moved one seat away. He kept his eyes on you.
“You wouldn’t have gone if you didn’t want an explanation,” he said. “Or to see me, at least. I know I did, I needed to see you.”
You saw the guy with the backpack purse his lips, knowing that Tom had got you. There was little context for them. The girl with the book directed a glance to you, trying to read your emotions.
If they knew, they’d be on your side and yelling at him as well.
He rested his elbows on his knees and rubbed his face.
“I didn’t, it was a coincidence,” you answered coldly.
“No, it bloody wasn’t,” Tom scoffed and then sat up. “No, I’m… No, but you know, you went to the bar for a reason.”
“And I left for a million more,” you frowned.
Tom pursed his lips and took out the paper again, trying to make out whatever he’d written before. “I’m really sorry.” His eyes traced through the note.
“Are you genuinely trying to read it? Don’t you know what you’re supposed to apologize for?”
Tom looked up, “So you do want me to apologize?”
The guy with the backpack squeezed his eyes shut, knowing Tom had fucked up.
“You’re kidding, right? Yes, you have to apologize, what you did is really, really shitty!” You pointed out.
“But you won’t forgive me, then?” Tom watched you.
“I don’t know,” you said and he looked up, a beaming gaze. “No, I won’t.”
He wrinkled his eyes, “I… I know I’m supposed to apologize, not to expect you to forgive. I'm just…”
He gulped, and then sat back, staring at the dirty walls and lights. He had dressed up. Badly, but he had tried looking good, you could tell. You could smell his lotion, too.
He was fiddling with the paper, crumpling up and then it fell to the floor. You looked at it and somehow related to it, not sure how.
You took a deep breath so you wouldn’t kill him and turned to him. “I have questions for you, if you answer them I might consider listening to you.”
Tom’s eyes brightened up. “Yes, yes, anything.”
You eyed him up and down as he watched you with begging eyes. You avoided his gaze. Tom followed your gaze as you tried to figure out what was the first thing you could ask him. Why had he hurt you?
Why did he not stop and think before making you fall in love with him?
Why did he not stop and tell you the truth?
“Where are you staying?” You asked,
Tom blinked. “Is that… is that the question?”
“No, but I know you don’t know how to fucking get anywhere,” you said.
Tom gulped, “I… uh, again with Harrison,” he explained.
You sighed. You remembered Harrison alright. And though there was a petty part inside you, you would help him out. Knowing he’d always get lost in the city. Though you could let him get lost, so you’d have to go after him and spend a bit more time. With an excuse, because you didn’t seem to have any excuse to be with him.
It hurt. What hurt the most was trying not to look back at the incredible moments you had because none of them were true.
You sighed. “Okay, when we get down you’ll take the F train—“
Tom stopped you, taking your hand. “No, wait, I don’t care if I get lost, okay, I… I just.”
You snatched your hand away from his cold hands he had. You darkened your gaze at him.
“Please, Y/n, I just need a chance. If you don’t want to listen… maybe I’ll just…” He handed you the note.
You crossed your arms, and tapped your foot, trying to decide whether or not to give it to him. “Fine,” you took the note.
You've gotten to your stop. So you stood up.
The girl with the book and the guy with the backpack watched you both as you walked out, pitying they couldn’t follow the drama.
Tom followed after you, he licked his lips. “You… you had questions, right?”
“Yeah.” You nodded, taking yet another heavy breath. You turned on your feet to look at him “One, did you lie to me?”
Tom was taken back by this, his eyes, consternated, only watched you. He gulped. “What?”
“Did you lie to me?
“I… well.”
You were getting desperate. “Did you ?”
“I didn’t lie about how I felt,” he said. You knew he wasn’t lying about it. He couldn’t. He couldn’t have ever lied about how he felt because you knew he had felt it too, a bit, at least,
You rolled your eyes, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.”
“I mean it, I…” Tom gulped. “I really liked you.”
“Yeah, I know, you liked me yadda, yadda,” you started. Liked not loved. “Cut the bullshit for once, did you or did you not lie to me?”
Tom took a deep breath. “Yes. But I had feelings for you.”
You bit your inner cheeks. “Uh-huh, yes, okay, good, yes, you acknowledge it. So, we have two statements here, Tom. You say you had feelings yet you lied to me,” you squinted. “Sounds-”
Tom gulped and avoided your gaze. “I know yes,” he looked down. “But, if you give me-”
“Ah, buh-buh, nope, I’m just gathering my thoughts here,” you coughed. “I need you to look me in the eyes and tell me what you felt.”
Tom shook his head in confusion. “I—I’m”
“Go on,” you motioned your hand.
“Y/N,” he said. And the way he dared to say your name was like having a knife right through you. “I had—I have feelings for you,” he said looking right into your eyes.
He didn’t say what feelings.
You were not sure where you wanted to go with this. “Fine, my next question…” you really didn’t know where this was going. “So, alright, you…” You couldn’t even phrase it. “You… made me fall in love with you knowing….Well, we both know what you did. What you hid from me. You’re a liar who made me—“
Tom took a deep breath. “Yes, but I didn’t… plan that.”
Your eyes widened. “Oh, so it’s my fault?” You stepped back. “Sorry for developing feelings for you. Sorry for ruining your life—“
Tom closed his eyes, “No, no, look, I… wasn’t. I didn’t come here expecting to meet you, I didn’t want… It just happened, okay, I never thought—You're making it sound like it’s some big master plan. I—I never planned—I never would’ve ever planned on hurting you.”
You watched him, incredulous. “Thomas you do realize what you did to me?”
“I do.”
“No, you don’t! You’re trying to make me seem like I’m crazy for not even wanting to talk to you!” You called him out.
“I’m not, I’m just saying that if you’re here—you must miss it too, you know it was too real, and you want it back, possibly—M-maybe not, but if you came to the bar tonight it was in hopes of finding me again because you knew I’d be there, and you want to feel how you felt before, and i just… you know I miss it and that you knew I didn’t lie—“
You glared at him. “You did lie!”
“Okay—yes, yes I did—But not entirely, I just happened to omit one truth—“
“One very important truth,” you snarked.
“Fine but—please listen,” he tried to convince you. “and I’m sorry, okay? I—I didn’t want to hurt you. But I never planned this. It just happened. I didn’t come here expecting to fall in love with anyone, I didn’t come here trying to date, and I never expected it to be someone as complex—“
“Complex?”
“Yes, I never came to New York trying to find the most mental relationship I’ve ever had—“
“Mental?” You snapped.
“Yes! I love you but you’re fucking crazy! And I am too! I’m fucking crazy and mental but I—I—I loved being crazy and mental with you! We are fucking mental! Driving to nowhere? Breaking into places? Getting a jukebox on the subway? That’s mental! But—but I love that about you, alright? Don’t you get it? I could’ve stayed in London, I could've been the asshole who just ditched you and lied to you—“
You scoffed. “Well that’s comforting!”
“But I’m—I’m here, ain’t I? And I know I fucked up, I know, I accept that, I’m the asshole here, and I know you’ll never—I hid it from you because I didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t even get it myself. I’m here to give you my version of it. I didn’t realize I was falling in love with you…I am…,I am in love with you, and I never planned that, I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with someone else, it just happened. I may have thought it was just—Some fling, initially.”
You laughed cynically. “A fling.”
He gulped. “And the moment I realized what was really going on—”
“You left, that’s what you fucking did, when you realized it was way too real for you, you destroyed the one real thing you’ve ever known,” you barked, he stepped back. “I fell in love with you, I—I—and then you ditched me, and I thought that was the worst thing you could ever do to me but then I realized that it wasn’t real! I—you were never mine, Tom! I simply was—a break you needed or—a fling.”
“It wasn’t that—“
You watched him. Looking so innocent, kind eyes and tender lips. You would’ve believed him had he come before.
“You used me!” You snapped, the words that had wanted to come for a while just blurted out. “I just can’t believe you,” you said. “You don’t feel sorry.” You shook your head, your voice was cracking. “You're not sorry because you don’t understand. You don’t know what I went through, and if you had come earlier, if you hadn’t left me, I probably would have believed you. But—No! No!” You stepped back. “No!”
“I did call! You never picked up the phone! I tried—“Tom started.
“Was I really expected to pick it up? Let’s get back to it. Shall we? The facts. Did you or did you not date me? And made me fall in love with you?”
Tom sighed. “I—yes.”
“Did you lie?”
“…yes.”
You nodded. “Was I the other one?”
Tom squinted his eyes. “No… yes, no.”
You took a deep breath. “Did you leave me without an explanation?”
Tom looked down. “I did.”
“Did you ditch me?”
Tom looked everywhere and nowhere. “Yes,” he answered, defeated.
“Now, do you think I can ever forgive you?”
Tom didn’t answer.
You reached for your purse, for the locket that dug deep inside. “I don’t know you,” you stated giving him the locket, the stupid locket you’d bought as a joke when making fun of other couples and now laughed in your face. “Whatever happened means nothing. Because that’s the thing Tom. Everything we lived was a lie, those two people in the locket are not us, because you weren’t who you said you were, no matter how much I loved it, it’s not true and though it was too many emotions all at once I’m—It’s not real, not for you. I spent this whole time thinking I wanted you to apologize but I don’t want it. That charming guy wasn’t truly you because you omitted one very important thing. You—What were you thinking? Were you planning to never say it? Or did you plan it like that? Just ditching me, hoping I wouldn’t find out—“
Tom took a deep breath. “No—No, I didn’t. I just—-I didn’t know what to do. I’m so sorry, I should’ve told you and I should’ve fixed it before—-“
“No, no you didn’t because it wasn’t enough for you.”
Tom gulped, “It was, it was—-the best thing I’ve ever had.”
“And you ruined it.”
“I’m sorry.”
“How little words mean when you’re a little too late, huh?” And that was the cue you needed to walk away. He silently watched you as you tried not to cry.
“I’m really sorry.” He said.
Was he?
“What if I try to prove it to you?” He asked as you were steps away from him.
You didn’t stop.
“If we go over this, you’ll see I never lied about it.” He continued.
“I already went over it, I remember everything, Tom, and maybe that’s why I don't want to talk to you.”
Tom walked behind, slowly. “I just happened to be very unlucky when it came to my own circumstances,” he reached over. “And I wish the timing had been better. But you’re right, it’s the one real thing I’ve ever had and I lost it because I hid something in fear of losing you. I lied because it was too good to be true. And I understand if you don’t want anything to do with me but I think you deserve to know why. But you went to the bar for a reason, and you had the locket for another.”
You stopped this time. Looking down at the floor and then at his hand, holding your stupid scarf. You shook your head, you really didn’t want to go through it all over again.
“I know you won’t forgive me,” he stated. “But I can’t let you go. You’re everywhere. And I miss the person I was when you were around, and I won’t stop fighting because you’re everywhere. Dreams, nightmares.”
Funny. You were his demons too.
“Am I haunting your nightmares?” You asked. Tom only watched you.
He took a deep breath. “I don’t expect you to forgive me, I just need—I really need you to listen to my version.”
“Fine then, let’s go down this sad, beautiful tragic love affair.”

Okay, but I want post-TFATWS obliviously jealous Sam.
No, listen.
Bucky doesn’t leave Delacroix after e06. And all the Wilsons are pretty damn happy about it. AJ and Cass are thrilled to have someone with a seemingly limitless amount of energy around to play. Sarah really appreciates Bucky helping with the boys and around the house. And Sam just generally likes having Bucky around, because that asshole really has become one of his closest friends.
And Sam had been joking, at first, about Bucky better not flirting with his sister, but the longer Bucky stays, the closer he seems to grow to Sarah. Initially, Sam is glad that Bucky’s opening up to someone else, and that Sarah is getting along so well with someone Sam cares about a lot.
But then they suddenly seem a little... too close?
Like, Sam can’t put his finger on it, but something about how Bucky is with Sarah, and how Sarah treats Bucky, bothers Sam. But he doesn’t say anything, because both Sarah and Bucky are adults who can make their own decisions (concerning relationships/their love lives).
And because he’s ashamed of how much he resents them for getting along so well.
It all comes to a head when Sam’s on a solo mission for a couple of weeks. He’s grateful that both Sarah and Bucky are keeping him updated on the boys and what’s going on back home, but. They’re looking suspiciously close to a happy little family. A family without Sam.
Sarah, of course, realises that something’s wrong as soon as Sam gets home. She lets him stew for a few days, but eventually confronts him because she won’t have him moping around the house.
And Sam’s all apologetic, like, “I’m sorry, I’m really trying, okay? And I’m happy for you guys. I don’t know what’s gotten into me, I swear.”
“You’re an idiot,” is all Sarah says in response. And then, “And you’re jealous.”
Which is... ridiculous. Right?
But Sarah just rolls her eyes at him, and tells him that no, there is absolutely nothing sexual or romantic happening between her and Bucky. Because, “That boy only has eyes for you. Which you’d see if you opened your own damn eyes for once.”
So Sam does. Really starts looking, and oh.
Oh.
“Have you been trying to flirt with me, man?” Sam asks, eventually, when they’re sitting by the water one evening, chilling with a couple of beers.
“For months now,” Bucky says, brows raised, “but thanks for noticing.”
“Well, it’s not my fault you’re terrible at it!”
“I was outta commission for over 70 years, excuse me for being rusty.”
“What about that famous Barnes charm, huh?”
“You tellin’ me you know anything at all about queer-coded, 1930s style flirting between men, Samuel?”
“Oh, shut up.”
“Shut me up yourself, coward.”
And then they kiss, obviously.

you want to give it a go?
A/N Omg hi guys I’m back with a little update. I’m so sorry I haven’t been writing much. I’ve been super busy with school but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who still supports me on this platform and appreciates my work. I love you guys so much. The friends I made on here are absolutely incredible. You can always reach out to me despite me not posting hahah. Anyway here it is! Hopefully I’ll be back with something new in some time. 
Y/N and Harry are just friends but when they get themselves mixed in a threesome, things change. 
Word count: 3.7k / Masterlist
Tumblr media
Harry and Y/N are just friends. They met back a year ago through Nick at his birthday party and ever since that they clicked. 
He enjoys the time he spends with her after all, everything felt normal. There was never a discussion about his fame or her anxiety about who will see them together. Instead, their friendship was always just about them and that was all. 
Harry may have been seeing someone and although he never thought it was serious, Nadia was coming over during the nights where Y/N was supposed to be hanging out with him. It was fine and dandy since they decided to hang out together as Nadia knew her “boyfriend”’s best friend wasn’t much of a threat. This continued for months until one night, Y/N brought some wine to celebrate her big promotion earlier from the day.
 The three were having a great conversation on the floor as they smoked some weed and had some messy Chinese takeout on Harry’s living room floor. It was just about 9 PM when Nadia sparked up a new question in their group. A rather dirty one perhaps. 
“Have you guys ever been in a threesome before?” She smiles as she stares innocently at the man in between her and the other girl. Harry sips his wine as his eyes widened a bit. He waits for Y/N to answer first but she doesn’t reply. Instead, her cheeks turn red as a tomato. “Be honest! I’ll say it first. I’ve never been but I’ve always wanted to try it.”
“I may have?” Harry mumbles as he rubs his bottom lip.
“What type of answer is that?” Nadia laughs as she puts her joint in an ashtray on top of the coffee table. “I won’t get mad.” She shakes her head.
“I remember doing stuff with other girls and guys but I don’t remember clearly.” He answers truthfully and looks at his best friend. “What about you, Y/N?” He didn’t know what to expect. Would he feel a bit angry or protective?
“Why are you guys asking this?” She tries to change the topic and laughs. “Who wants some more wine?” Nadia leans over Harry’s legs to grab the glass out of Y/N’s hand.
“Answer the question.” She laughs at her as she rubs her boyfriend’s thigh. Harry coughs again and tries to drink some more wine. Luckily, he still had some left.
“No. I haven’t been.”
“Would you want to try it?” Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t Nadia who asked but instead, Harry.
“Oh, I don’t know.” Y/N tries to brush it off. “Maybe, one day.”
“Here, I’ll let you think about it.” Nadia giggles. “I can make out with Harry and if you feel like joining you can.” Not a surprising act from Nadia to be honest. She was always the type of girl to try anything.
“Na-” Harry tries to stop her. He didn’t want to pressure Y/N into having a threesome. He especially didn’t want it to be awkward for their friendship. Isn’t rule #1 of threesomes is that the third person is someone you don’t know?
“Harry, it’s fine. The most she’ll feel is uncomfortable but I mean, she’s seen us kiss before.” Nadia straddles him as she wraps her arms around his neck. She begins to softly kiss his jaw as she moves her soft pink lips to meet his. Her hips softly rock into his, that as his eyes watch Y/N -he held Nadia by her waist. 
A soft moan comes out of his mouth which makes Nadia pull away. She takes her shirt off and tosses it at the girl watching them. Harry looks at her with his pouty lips. Y/N looks at him too as she tries to read his mind. Does he want me to join in? Would this get weird? Do I want to actually do this?
“It’s a one-time thing. We don’t have to talk about it ever again.” Nadia smiles as she unbuttons Harry’s shirt. Harry’s thumb slides down her bottom lip as he looks at Y/N again.
“What do you think H?” Y/N could feel her heart beat fast as she watched him. She knew she didn’t like him romantically so she was not concerned about catching feelings. She was scared of how her performance would be. Maybe, they would judge her?
“Come on.” Harry whispers reassuringly as he takes his hand out for her to reach. Nadia immediately gets off him as she runs to his room, taking her clothes off in the process. Although Harry leads Y/N  to the room hand in hand, he was nervous as fuck yet he couldn't deny his excitement. 
Nadia lays down in the middle of the king bed as she watches her boyfriend take Y/N’s clothes off. Maybe, since she was new to all of this he wanted her to feel special? No biggie. She thought. 
She watches Harry lean in to kiss Y/N which the girl reciprocates without any complaint. Of course, she was a bit hesitant but she couldn’t ignore the fact how she could hear his heartbeat so fast as if it was in sync with hers. His hands slid from her waist to the bottom of her shirt as he carefully helped her take it off. “You’re doing so well, baby.” He kisses her a bit more deeply as he unbuttons her pants. He drops to his knees and kisses her tummy as he takes her underwear and her jeans off together. 
“I’m getting a bit lonely here.” Nadia quietly complains. She sits up immediately and approaches Y/N from behind to take her bra off. She kisses her neck as she gropes her chest. “How are you feeling?” She asks sweetly as they both watch Harry take his clothes off.
“Really nervous.”
“You want to do this, for real?” Harry asks. He knows it’s a bit too late but he needed to hear it from her just to be sure. Because as much as he wants to have this night for themselves, there’s a tiny part of him that wished it was just him and … No, she’s your friend and you have Nadia. 
“Yeah.” She purses her lips as she eyes his chest. God, she’s checking him out right now and for the first time, he’s actually aware.
 “Alright. Nadia, go to the bed,” Harry instructs her as he bites his lip. He sits on the edge of the mattress as he fists himself slowly. “Come here and suck it.” His voice deepens. Nadia smirks as she kneels on the floor. Her hands replace his as she confidently spits on him to jerk him off. Y/N stands in the corner of the room watching the couple. She definitely felt like she was intruding. “Come here.” Harry’s voice softens. His hands intertwined in Nadia’s blonde hair softened as he watched his friend walk behind her to sit beside him.
 “Should I do something?” Y/N asks as she covers her chest. Harry laughs as he removes her arms. 
“Baby, why are you covering up?” This nickname seems to be a popular word tonight. It made Nadia’s focus from their pleasure to just observing them. “Why won’t you come a bit closer,” Harry suggests. His hand takes her face as he kisses her. Nadia goes faster trying to deep throat him so she can try and get his attention back on her but all he does is ignore her as his hands play with Y/N’s chest. Groping and sucking and overall, just loving.
 “Fuck.” Y/N mumbles out loud as she watches Nadia suck her best friend’s dick. 
“You want to give it a go?” Harry takes himself out of Nadia’s mouth. He slaps her cheek and moves himself to the bed. “Y/N, come here.” She obeys. He gestures her down as he grips himself in front of her. He helps guide it into her mouth as he cups one of his balls. The pure image of her laying down on his bed sucking his dick made him already want to burst. “Fuck, baby you’re such an angel aren’t you?” 
Nadia helps herself onto the bed and without a word, she sits on Harry’s face so she doesn’t have to hear him talk. She didn’t even face Y/N because she realized this was a big mistake. Her fault for drinking too much wine. 
Harry’s hands held onto Nadia’s thighs as he ate her out but once he felt Y/N gagging, they immediately went to her instead. His big hands removing her hair from her face as he slowly forced her head down. Her eyes rolled back a bit as he thrusts himself involuntarily into her mouth.
 Nadia pulls his hair and puts more pressure onto his face so he can direct his attention back to her. He gropes her boobs as well but that didn’t stop him from thinking of the dirtiness Y/N was doing. He instantly tapped Nadia off him as he pushed himself up. He made Y/N sit up so he can push her onto the bed where the pillows were. He held her arms above her head as he sucked on her nipples. His tongue bouncing in and out of his mouth as he left soft licks down her torso until he reached her wet centre. His fingers going into Nadia’s mouth before rightfully so inserting them into Y/N’s core. Soon after he fingers her at a quick pace. He ignores the fact Nadia sat on the bed, just looking at them speechless. 
“Fuck, I know you’re fucking beautiful but the way you look right now is driving me absolutely mad,” Harry mumbles as his hands tightened on Y/N’s neck. As she reaches her first orgasm, Harry reaches over her to put on a condom. After permission. He rocks himself forward, putting one of her legs on his shoulder. Nadia hovers over Y/N’s chest to kiss Harry but she slowly pushes his chest to make him stop focusing on Y/N. Harry for once got her message. He takes his condom off and tosses it onto the table. He puts a new one on and forces Nadia on all fours. He fucks her behind as he pulls on Y/N’s hair. His eyes watching her chest and her centre as she laid down beside Nadia touching herself. Nadia leans over to make out with her but all Harry wanted to do was fuck Y/N all over again. 
Not after long, Harry pulls out of Nadia without another word. He takes his condom off and stands from the bed and pulls Y/N from her legs. He flips her around and bends her over the mattress. He slaps her ass and holds her arms down as he fucks her hard. His hand eventually tugging on her hair as he let out grunts. Naida watches her boyfriend fuck his best friend bare as she hears him mumble, “Best fuck ever”

The following day, Harry leaves Y/N in his bed as he goes to the kitchen looking for Nadia. He was wondering where she was. Yet there she sat in his shirt, crying at the counter. 
“Are you okay?”
“You’re really asking me that?” She wipes away a tear as she sarcastically laughs. 
“Why?”
“I know you like her.” She closes her eyes. “You told me there was nothing to worry about but the way you treated her last night… it’s a whole new story.”
“Nadia, we had a lot to drink I’m sorry if I made you feel like that.” Harry tries to reason with her. There is no way he likes Y/N. she’s normal and he’s famous. She wouldn’t want to be part of his mess. She’s basically out of his league anyway. 
“Harry! You legit fucked me for 3 minutes while making you and her cum five times.” Harry covers his face with his hands. 
“You suggested it, didn’t you?” He retaliates. “I don’t know what happened last night. You should’ve said something. It was her first time.”
“I think you’re forgetting it’s my first time too.” Nadia mumbles. Harry immediately shuts up as he feels the guilt in his chest. Nadia puts her coffee mug in the sink before going up to him. “Be honest. Do you like her? Was last night really the best fuck you ever had.”
“I don’t fucking like her Nad!” Harry groans. “She’s my best friend and I did that because I didn’t want to make her feel left out. I’m sorry.”
“I d-”
“I’ll make it up to you, okay?” Harry steps forward to put his hands on her shoulders. He didn’t like Y/N. They were just friends. Nadia is who he is seeing. “She wasn’t even that good. I was just showing her the ropes. Every time she made me cum I was thinking of you.” Nadia laughs but Harry gulps as he knows that was for sure a lie. Y/N was a living wet dream last night. He was pretty much still thinking of her when he woke up today with her laying down on his chest.
 “Glad to know.” A voice speaks up. Y/N was dressed in a spare shirt she had in the house as she stood by the archway. She was nervous to see them in the kitchen but she had hope that everyone would forget about last night “Thanks for teaching me.” She sarcastically replies. She leaves the house without another word. 
Harry. Harry, her best friend who basically said yes to her last night was now shoving her dignity up her ass. She could even feel a tear fall down her face after what she heard from him. She knew she was new to it all but to be judged at a time you were the most vulnerable is fucked up. She expected more from them. From his especially, since last night he couldn’t shut up about her. 
“Y/N, don’t go,” Harry yells out as he stood at his door watching her go to her car. “I- That’s not what I meant.”
“Fuck you!” She coldly replies as she opens her door. She tosses her purse and last night’s clothes in the passenger seat before closing the car door for herself.
“Y/N. Baby, don’t go. Nadia was jealous about last night.” Harry pleads as he taps her window. She opens it slowly and sighs.
 “Was she not the one who initiated it?” She snaps as she puts her sunglasses on. “I knew last night was a mistake.”
“Y/N. It wasn’t -hey, get out of the car. Can we talk?”
“I don’t feel like talking. That’s the problem.” She rubs her cheek in frustration. “It’s not your fault okay? I just need time.”
“Time for what?”“
Time to understand that things are different for us now.”
“No, it’s not. You’re my best friend. Y/N come-”
“Harry, I’ll reach out just give me some time.” She repeats to him.
~
It’s been a week since Y/N ghosted Harry. A week absolutely too long, in his opinion. Their routine used to be solid. They would facetime, visit each other, and honestly just talk. Some nights they watched movies, some nights they made dinner but at least they were together. As much as Nadia was mad about that night, she forgave Harry because he’s right. She initiated it so the most she can do is let go of her anger. But maybe it wasn’t just Harry lying to himself.
 “You okay?” Mitch asks him as they sat in his home studio trying to make a new song.
 “Y/N is mad at me.” He lets go of the guitar on his lap to scratch his nose. “She asked for some space but I don’t know for how long.”
“You miss her.”
“No.” Harry lies because missing her was already another tunnel into a statement he denied. He is not romantically interested in her. “I wish she came back that’s all. She’s stressing me out.”
“You miss her because you realized she wasn’t the problem.” Mitch pushes further. He smirks a bit as he watches Harry become speechless. “I don’t know what happened to you guys but don’t let her out of your sight. You might not realize she’s gone.”
And as Harry pretended to sit there like he didn’t care, a strong feeling in his chest arose. Something that’s been buried deep for way too long.
 ~
2 months later.
“Happy birthday Sarah!” Y/N greets her as she walks into her home. It was Sarah’s birthday and Mitch decided to throw her a surprise party. 
“Thank you so much.” She smiles as she hugs her. “I haven’t seen you in so long, where have you been?
”“I’m sorry I’ve been so busy.” Y/N answers truthfully. She puts Sarah’s gift on the table beside them as the birthday girl takes her hand to lead her into the living room.
“Guess who’s here!” Sarah yells out to her friends. Nadia sitting on Harry’s lap was the first one to notice Y/N and soon after the man underneath noticed too. 
“Hi, guys!” Y/N smiles as she tries to ignore the couple on the couch. Harry was about to greet her when a man walked up behind Y/N.
“Babe, here’s your charger.” The guy hands it to her as he puts his arm behind her lower back. 
“Thanks.” She smiles sweetly as she holds his hand instead. “This is Brendan. We’ve been dating for a while.” She proudly introduces him to everyone.
“You finally got a boyfriend?” Mitch teases as he drinks his beer beside Harry. “Nice to meet you.” Brendan nods as he greets him back. Overall, Y/N was happy, he came with her because the way Harry was looking at her made her not feel so good.
As the party continued, Y/N’s boyfriend stuck to her like a lost little boy. At least that’s what Harry thought. After Nadia went swimming in the backyard with some other girls, he sat with Mitch secretly observing Y/N. She looked happy and overall, just pretty... really pretty. 
As other guests walked around the house socializing, Sarah and Mitch sat with Harry at the couches while Y/N and Brendan made their way over towards them. “Glad to see you again.” Harry greets Y/N nonchalantly as he raises his beer to them. His eyes were focused on the TV that was playing some movie. 
 “You too. It’s nice to see you and Nadia still together.”
“Yeah.” He replies and after some silence, he realized he needed to get out of here. “I’m going to the kitchen.” He sighs as he rubs his thighs. Y/N wanted to follow him. She knew it was going to be awkward seeing him again but she didn’t expect him to be this mad. Does he even have the right to be?
“Brendan, I’m going to get a snack actually. Why won’t you ask Mitch about how his job works since you were wondering?”
“Oh yeah, sure.” Brendan looks confused as she steps away from the conversation. Y/N walks to the kitchen and sees Harry biting his cheek as he munched on some chips from the bowls laid out. 
“I know you were mad about me wanting some space but I don’t know why you’re still mad about it.” Harry laughs sarcastically as he watches her. 
“It’s been 2 months and you’re asking me why I’m mad?”
“Well, yeah. I thought you’d be happy to see me again.”
“No, Y/N. I would be happy if you got out of your fucking car that day to talk to me. I would be happy if you just told me why you needed space.
”“You’re telling me it’s not clear to you?” She crosses her arms against her chest.
“I expected you to come back!” He looks around the kitchen and lowers his voice. “It’s a bit hard to see someone everyday then suddenly they disappear.” He scoffs. “You wouldn’t answer my texts or my calls.”
“We shouldn’t have done what we did that night.” She mumbles. “It was the alcohol and the temptation that influenced us and at the end, it’s what destroyed us.”
“Do you regret it?” He closes his eyes, praying she didn’t. Because maybe just maybe, that night meant a lot to her the same way it did to him. Does he love her? Yes, but romantically? He has no fucking idea. He just misses her.
 “I don’t know.” Not the answer he wanted. “Look it’s not your fault nor was it Nadia’s but I think our choice made me realize who I am in your life.”
“Not to be fucking clueless but what does that even mean?”
“Yes, I’m your best friend but at the end of the day, you saw me as a girl you pitied that night. A girl that meant nothing to you but just for your pleasure.” She clarifies for him.
“Y/N what? That’s not true. How-”
“I heard what you said to Nadia.” She shakes her head “I’m not stupid. I know how those work but I expected more from you. I just thought you wouldn’t see me that way. We had so many moments together that night and I finally realized how good of a man you are for me. Yet the next day, I hear you tell your girlfriend that I suck in bed and you were using me. Hurts a bit.” She sarcastically laughs. “Who am I kidding? That hurts a lot.”
“What so you love me now?” He retaliates. “Nadia was jealous. I had to tell her that. It doesn’t mean it’s true!”
“Funny thing is - I do love you, Harry. That night. it made me realize that maybe I was in love with you this whole time! You were so sweet and gentle and it made me feel good. You made me feel safe but I didn’t need you to throw my feelings back at my face!”
“In love with me?” Harry hysterically repeats after her. “You’re dating some loser named Brendan and you’re telling me you’re in love with me?”
“So you’re saying you did not feel anything that night?” She bites her cheek, trying not to cry. He stays silent, pretending to look at the chips and deciding what to eat next. “Goodbye, Harry.”
“Y/N.” He speaks up as he denies her eye contact. “I don’t like you that way. I don’t and I never will.” His last words burned in her head. As well as in her heart. God, she’s crazy. 
But maybe he’s worst.
He said that lie a million times in his head and saying that to Y/N made it feel 100% more real. He doesn’t like her because she’s normal. She’s perfect and she’s his best friend. Friends don’t call their friends baby. Friends don’t look at Y/N the way he does. That’s why he’s going to stick to this decision. If he has to lose her as a friend then fine because no way in hell would he lose her if they were together. 
Because that hurts more and Harry is tired of hurting.
