Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
DAY ONE — BREEDING
*kinktober masterlist | *ao3
tags : NSFW, fem/afab readers, mindbreak, creampie, scratching, biting, overstimulation, knotting
synopsis : werewolf!derek is in rut. you help him through it, even if it leaves you sore, but especially if it means he'll stuff you with his cum and breed you.
Tumblr media
you're so dazed.
he's been fucking you for hours, thrusting his fat dick into your poor, abused hole. you whine loudly, drool slipping from your open lips.
derek licks it up, growling into your shoulder.
you shake, overwhelmed with pleasure. you can't even think, the only thing on your mind is derek and pleasure.
his grip on your hips tighten, his claws digging into the fat of your hips and your hiss at the pain, blood pooling to the surface.
he's going to bandage it up later, as he will with many of the other scratches and bites he's left on your poor body already.
"so warm..." derek huffs, the movement of him shifting his knees to fuck you deeper makes a loud moan rip from your throat.
all you can hear is the dull clapping of his hips meeting your ass, fucking you deeply. his tip is bruising your cervix, leaving your insides aching and it should hurt but it feels so good.
you've become a slave to the pleasure, letting yourself drown in derek's arm and let your mind focus on nothing but opening yourself up to take his dick and help him through rut.
after this though... you'll definitely be different after this. usually derek makes love to you, gentle and caring and so sweet. but his rut has turned him into an animal in bed and you love it more than you should.
derek's hips stutter, finishing inside you for the nth time that night. your loud whine mixes with his growl, derek's sharp eyes focused on how the cum leaks from around his dick.
you pant, shaking on your elbows and drop your head.
but you don't have long to bask in the afterglow or catch your breath, derek easily manhandles you so that you're on your back and he pushes back into your spent puffy hole.
you yell, not even having time to think about your sensitivity before he's back to fucking you with abandon.
he leans down to kiss you, slipping his tongue in your mouth. his fangs catch on your lips but you ignore it, basking in every bit of pain and pleasure. it all feels good and it just brings you higher.
"sorry... almost done. promise..." derek mumbles against your lips, but his hands are pushing your hips down so he can fuck into you with quick thrusts, the bed sliding and bumping against the wall from the power of his thrusts.
you pant, dragging your nails down his back. you don't have the energy to call him out, you don't even have half the brain to at this point.
"i-i'm.. i'm gonna knot!" derek grunts into your ear, leaning over you and your legs are forced up to your shoulders from his body on top of you, easily slamming his dick into your weeping insides since he's practically on top of you.
you gather your remaining sense and beg, "knot me! please, please, please-"
you're turning into a mess, babbling and begging to be knotted.
derek has the nerve to try to use sense, "are you sure? i-" you snap, ignoring him. "you've came in me already! fucking knot me, you dumb dog!"
you've bitten off more than you can chew with those words, derek accepting your pleads and he starts kissing and nipping your neck as his knot starts to grow, catching on your hole and the tugging makes you whine.
you don't even realize you're crying until derek licks and kisses it away.
you lock your legs around derek's back, forcing him to go deeper.
he growls, the sound reverberating through you and you tangle your hands in his scruff, pulling him back from your neck. "knot me, 'wanna.. wanna have your pups."
derek groans, trying not to bite through your shoulder that he was marking before you forced his hand.
your vision shakes, your hands tugging on derek's hair, catching the fur of his ears and you can feel his voice rumble against your shoulder, a threatening sound to anyone else but a clear sign of pleasure to you.
the stretch burns, you've never been knotted before but after this you can't see this being the last time.
he can't move like this and you can't decide if that's a blessing or a curse, his fat tip pushing against your abused cervix and your stomach swells a bit now that his cum as no where to go.
you both moan loudly, you clinging onto derek as he cums inside you again.
he pants, his weight pushing down on you and you weakly slap his shoulders to get him off you.
derek kisses your cheek, as if to apologize for such an assault on your poor cunt. he mumbles something you don't really catch, probably something about moving you since he moves your limp body so you're on top of him.
you blink, still dazed and letting him do as he pleases. but you finally look down to see where you're connected and you can't help the moan that falls from your throat.
"derek..." you mumble, bringing your hand to your abdomen, taking in your swollen stomach and how full you fill..
you barely register derek mumbling apologies, you're so lost in thinking about how good it feels to be stuffed with his dick and cum.
"it should go down soo-"
you look at him with a loopy smile, "can't wait to have your puppies..."
derek's jaw tightens, his hands fisting the already ruined sheets. he's silent but the look in your eyes hypnotize him, "you're gonna be so pretty taking care of my pups..."
you're in for a long week.

Well... I feel like a cat in a room of rocking chairs but... no such gifs.
I don't know what to think anymore so maybe I should just shut up. Definitely a hormonal day. Sigh.
All I do know is I love you .
I will work Forever to prove it too.
I gave my love, devotion, trust, adoration, loyalty, faithfulness, fidelity to you a long time ago. When I gave you my keys. So too my trust, vulnerability, feeling exposed.
My raw, honest, give nor take no shit. Not a bullshitter. I detest lying. Serves no purpose. Only thing I'll ever do is temper how I speak to not hurt someone! It's a big deal to me!
This isn't easy for me AT ALL. I do it though because I love you. I do it . Because God won't let me stop. I think I'm gonna write a short message & then be silent, be quiet, go back into my hiddy hole. Nope. Not His Will. I gotta rip open my guts & cry & show it all. Even when it makes me cringe, grimace, hide my face, hurt.. even when you are mad at me. Even when all I wanna do is love you! I feel like a schmuck! A heel. So even as the tears roll, nose runs, & chewing my lips to death...
Know this...
I am here on this site...
Solely for you.
I've given my effort, time, tears, heart, soul, gut instincts, intuition,. I will continue to. Until my dying breath.
Because I'd rather die alone than do so never haven given to my soul's mates my full & raw self. I'd rather die alone than be without you. I'd rather die alone than never having known your love. I'd rather die alone than love anybody but you.
I'd rather be God's warrior queen as a nun than love anybody but you.
Yes, I love my friends & some family. And pray to build a heart family.
That's not the same as a soul's mates love. Not even close.
So I will work & pray I get my life right.
And pray you choose to want to love me.
I made my choice.
I will never give up nor change my mind.
You ain't ever seen stubborn til me.
So when I am walking into my new apartment to sleep for the first time...
It will be God's Plan.
And I pray your choice is to come...
Me.. standing on my cliffside as I wait. & work.
~True love never dies & true love always waits!.~
For my universe I shall wait thru eternity.
Your hurting, confused, bent, crying, frustrated, complex quirky warrior queen daughter.
~Tijgeress kat Phoenix. 🌺🐾🐯✝️

↳ chapter seventeen: the void
❧ genre: pro-hero hitoshi, adoptive siblings, happy ending
❧ chapter warnings: mentions of suicide/self harm, depression, anxiety, comfort
[multi-chap masterlist] [previous chapter - next chapter]
Tumblr media
The loud and obnoxious sound of the alarm on your phone woke you from a deep slumber. You groaned and reached behind your head to the arm of the couch and grabbed the device, picking it up and touching the 'off' button. Your fingers went to clutch the phone but it slipped from your hold and landed straight on your forehead.
"Oh for the love of fucking christ why!"
Groaning and moaning in pain, you rolled over and fell straight off of the couch with a yelp. 
"I'm just going to lay here and die," you thought to yourself as your face stayed buried into the rug. 
The phone started to ring only a few seconds later, startling you from the serene quietness of the house. With a sigh you sat up on your elbows and grabbed the phone, seeing that it was Hitoshi calling, more than likely to make sure you were awake from your nap.
"Ayeeee," you answered with a tired and un-enthused tone.
"I swear you're something else woman, are you awake? Like awake awake?"
"Yeah I'm awake, trust me," you replied rubbing your forehead.
"Okay, just making sure sweetness. The kid has dance this afternoon right?"
You confirmed Hitoshi's question as you rose from the floor with a groan. The two of you continued to converse as you put on your hoodie and coat, shoes and grabbed your car keys. It had been exactly three weeks since you moved in with your now boyfriend to help him with the care of Eri. It was an exhausting and busy three weeks but so wonderful at the same time. You liked the hustle and bustle of bringing Eri to and from school and her different lessons. More than anything you loved being part of Hitoshi and Eri's life, sharing a home with them both and having your own life full of love and happiness, all because of them.
"How about I meet you two after her lesson and we'll go out for dinner since it's Friday?"
You quirked a brow and counted back your days, realizing that Hitoshi was right but also causing another important detail to pop into your brain as you saw a sparkly pink duffel bag by the front door.
"Uh – I think it'll be just me and you actually. Eri is supposed to go to some little slumber party tonight after dance. I just remembered!"
"That's fine then, you know what, since you'll be back at home before me I'll just pick up some take-out on my way home and we'll have a night in together. It's been a while since we've had one of those, kid free. Maybe even have a copious amount of sex squeezed in between some movies and video games?"
You laughed as you were already out the door and getting into your vehicle, knowing good and well that your lover was at his work desk surrounded by his colleagues and not giving a single fuck about if they could overhear him or not.
"Mmm, food, movies, video games and sex. Should I wear my 'holey' pants, I just know how turned on you get when I strut around in them!"
A sharp inhale was heard on the other end of the call, making you laugh again from imagining Hitoshi grinning through his gritted teeth as he thought of your pair of pajama pants with pink pineapples all over them and a good number of frayed holes. You never cared to throw them away because they were the most comfortable pair of pj's you owned.
"Oh now you're talking, maybe even wear a matching trash bag top. Mmm, that'd be so fucking hot!"
More laughter erupted from your mouth, making Hitoshi laugh as well. You sank back into the seat of the vehicle after starting the engine and turning the heater on full blast. "I love you weirdo."
"I love you more sweetheart. Be careful on the road please, and text me when you get there."
"You got it captain!"
After picking up Eri from school, the two of you had a small amount of time to drive-thru and grab a quick snack. Eri sat in her booster seat, eating her fries and drinking her juice happily as you did the same. You turned down the music on the radio and glanced at the little girl in your rear-view mirror.
"So cutie, what do you want to be for Halloween? We're gonna have to start looking for a costume because you got that party coming up, plus we're all going to the festival at UA."
As Eri chewed on a mouthful of salty fries she thought with a finger to her cheek. After a few seconds, her ruby eyes lit up and she looked at you.
"I want to be Alice!"
"Ooh, that sounds easy enough! You'd make a very cute and fitting Alice! You know I think we should make Toshi be the Cheshire Cat!"
"Yeah! He's purple already!" Eri pointed out.
You laughed and agreed with her. You couldn't wait to tell Hitoshi the decision you and his sister made in regards to his Halloween outfit. Eri followed with asking what you would be, which actually stumped you. You weren't much of a fan of the classic tale but you had a general knowledge of it. The Mad Hater or Queen of Hearts just didn't really float your boat. 
"Hmm, who else is there?" 
A light flickered in your head as you thought about making you and Hitoshi match at least in the animal department.
"What about the White Rabbit?"
"Yeah! Then we would all match!"
The rest of the drive you and Eri planned out the pieces of your costumes. Once at dance you walked in with her, hand in hand and helped to get her dressed in her dance outfit and put her long silver locks up into a nice and neat bun. You stowed her stuff away and walked to the dance room, crouching to her level before she went inside.
"Alright, you're going home with Mai and her mommy today for her slumber party. All your things are in your bag, and if you need absolutely anything you let her mom know and she will call me or Toshi."
"Okay Unnie, you and Sou-Sou will come get me tomorrow?"
"Absolutely, whenever you're ready to come home, we'll be on our way!"
Eri smiled and nodded before hugging your neck tightly. You placed a kiss to her head before standing and coaxed her into the dance room. She smiled and waved goodbye to you and ran to join her little group of friends. You waved back and proceeded to give the other girls mother yours and Hitoshi's numbers and made your way back home, more than ready to have a lazy night with your equally exhausted boyfriend.
Tumblr media
Hitoshi struggled to open the door of his home, after many failed attempts of calling your cell or kicking at the barrier since his hands were full, he had to manage by himself knowing that you wouldn't be coming to help him. Once inside he heard it was quiet for the most part, which had him worried until he walked more into the kitchen and could hear a vacuum cleaner running down the hall. His heart was put at ease, realizing that's why you didn't answer him.
The hero placed all the bags of food on the counter, he went all out and got everything the both of you enjoy from your favorite take-out place. You had been working so hard the past few weeks caring for Eri, cleaning the house and cooking in your free time, even if it was already spotless. 
Of course Hitoshi wasn't the type to just sit back and let you do these things, either you'd have them all done before he could get home or when he'd offer his help you'd decline it and suggest he spend time with Eri helping with her homework or just playing games with her. Tonight he wanted to make sure you were satisfied in more ways than one, a belly full of good food, a nice bath to relax your tired body, nice soft and comfy clothes and a whole bunch of doing nothing.
After Hitoshi's arms were empty he slid his shoes off and made his way towards the whirring sound of the cleaning appliance. It led him to Eri's bedroom and he poked his head around the corner of her door frame. The sight his eyes fell upon was very welcomed, making him chuckle and smile. 
Your ear buds were snug in your ears, your phone on the toddlers dresser. As you vacuumed you danced along with the music flowing into your canals, singing to it as well. Your hips swayed in a hypnotic way and you had great footwork as you stepped along with the beat. Your entire body was moving - shoulders, waist, head. (H/c) locks swayed along and your free hand was raised up dancing along too.
"Y se emociona, ya no razona. Y me empieza a cantar, me canta así, así. Bidi bidi bom bom. Bidi bidi bom bom."
Hitoshi's eyes lit up as he heard your voice speaking the Spanish language so flawlessly. He knew you liked many different types of music and knew countless songs word by word, the language barrier being no problem. 
This wasn't the first time the male had caught you like this either, there were multiple times he'd walk in on you dancing and singing in the shower, while baking or cleaning. Each time he'd scare the piss out of you by not making his presence known and you'd stop immediately. It wasn't like you couldn't dance or sing, because you could and so well. The sheer embarrassment of it all though is what would make you end the show. 
This time though, he didn't want that to happen. With the help of his own sounds being muted by your ear buds and vacuum, he was able to sneak inside the room and place himself a close distance behind you. His violet eyes watched your foot work and learned it quickly, they'd also gaze to your ass as you'd roll your hips and stick the plump flesh out.
He panted, seeing you in black leggings and a plain long-sleeve shirt. You didn't have to wear fancy or revealing getup's to get his blood pumping and his tongue hanging from his mouth. 
Hitoshi held his hands up and lined them with your hips as he got ready to step in with you. You sang the song so well and perfectly it's like he could hear the beat of it and easily became in-tune with your movements. Hitoshi took a deep breath and waited for just the right moment and took it. 
One arm wrapped around the front of your waist, pulling your gyrating hips into his, the other grabbed hold of your hand that swayed up in the air. Chuckling, his lips brushed against the skin of your neck, making a shocked gasp escape from your mouth. You hadn't fully registered what was happening as Hitoshi danced with you, moving his hips along with yours and pressing his hard chest to your back.
You stopped vacuuming, letting go of the machine and Hitoshi took the chance to twirl you around and face him. He took a bud from your ear and placed it in his so he could hear the music you listened to. It was lively and fun, his hands took hold of yours, fingers intertwining and holding them in the air as he danced along with you quite well.
"Toshi-ah! What the – you never told me you could even remotely dance!"
Hitoshi twirled you, making you giggle and tugged you towards him and kissed your cheek, "You never asked."
"That's my line you turd!"
Smiling, Hitoshi pulled you into his chest and dipped you, timing it perfectly with the end of the song. He was so pleased with himself and placed sweet kisses up your neck to your cheek before standing you straight up again. His arms wrapped around you and hugged you close, you hummed and hugged back burying your face into him. Hitoshi pulled away and removed the bud from yours and his ear, grabbed your phone and shut off your music.
"Come on sweetness, let's get that thing put back up and get our night started!"
Tumblr media
After eating all the food you could until you were miserable, Hitoshi ran a bath and you both bathed and relaxed until you were prunes. Now you laid on the couch together watching a movie. Hitoshi played with your (h/c) hair as you laid on his chest until you lost interest in the film and moved to sit up and straddle his lap. He smiled and touched your warm cheek, drinking in the site of you wearing one of his shirts and looking adorable.
"I didn't ask yet, but how was your last full week at the agency?"
Hitoshi explained his week and you listened closely, your hands playing with his.
The time had come finally for him to start his teaching job at UA that following Monday, you were excited and nervous for him, he was more excited than anything. All week after he'd get off work, he'd stop by the school to set up his classroom and get everything in place and ready. 
You and Eri stopped by one day to bring him dinner and you weren't exactly surprised to see just how much he put into the room. It looked chaotic with all the sketches, posters and prints that hung from the walls but it was somehow like an organized chaotic. Everything flowed together well, it was cozy and very inviting. As he stated before, there was a big print of your picture from Disneyland on one of the walls, along with an equally sized picture of Eri. Hitoshi said he was going to make the classroom his own and make it his own he did.
"You excited for your first day of teaching?" You asked, moving your hands up Hitoshi's chest to wrap around his neck and play with his hair.
"Definitely, it'll be a nice change and new journey. I can't wait to meet my students and see how creative they are."
You smiled at your lover's excitement and leaned forward to kiss his lips softly. Hitoshi hummed as his hands rested on and squeezed your hips. He grinned after you broke away, asking what the kiss was for.
"Just because. I'm really proud of you Hitoshi, you set your sights on something and you go after it."
"Well thank you sweetheart. I'm so lucky to have you," he replied and pulled your lips to his again, giving you a kiss to express his gratitude.
You smiled and leaned down, hugging his chest and pressing your cheek to it. Hitoshi wrapped his own arms around you and kissed the top of your head.
"It's definitely the other way around Toshi."
Shinsou smirked as he rubbed your back and you went back to watching the movie on the tv but suddenly it's like your words brought a past memory up, from that night in the bathtub a few weeks ago. 
"I don't know how much longer I would've lasted in this world." 
Somehow he had forgotten to ask you about that night, about your life and emotional health before moving in with him. Looking down at you, Hitoshi figured now was a good enough time to ask you, you were awake and aware and already in a somewhat mushy and open mood. You never had been the type to really hide anything from him, even before your relationship became official. Hitoshi picked up on clues to your moods and he'd ask you about them, sometimes you'd be hesitant or annoyed with his line of questioning but you always answered him. In the end you'd feel better having him to vent to.
"Hey baby," Hitoshi started off as his hand on your back squeezed, "I've been wanting to talk to you about something."
You remained in your place, your hand holding onto Hitoshi's bicep and your thumb brushing his skin under the sleeve of his shirt. "What is it Toshi?"
"Do you remember a few weeks ago, when you and Eri made that cake, me and you took a bath that night and you were dozing off? You said something to me, something about how if I hadn't come along with my job offer then you didn't know 'how much longer you would've lasted in this world'. Does any of that ring a bell?"
Your brows knitted, trying to recall that nights events. The memories were blurry, you were in a dazed state after all. You remembered Hitoshi bathing you, holding you close and letting you melt into him. When you're extremely tired and trying to fight it off, you tend to blabber a lot about your hearts innermost feelings. More than likely that was the case that night, no denying it.
"I don't remember it exactly, but it sounds like something I would've said."
"What exactly did you mean by that? You weren't planning on hurting yourself ... were you?"
There was a pause before you replied, letting out a long and ragged breath as you thought how to form the words that wanted to fall from your lips. 
You had thoughts before, of how much easier life would be if you didn't have a life at all. You wouldn't have to worry about meeting due dates for bills, wouldn't have to be bothered with your families problems and above all, wouldn't have to see that monster you worked for ever again. Each day going back and forth to that café seemed to just break a piece of your soul off more and more. The looks, whistles and words that you'd hear. 
Your only saving grace being Hitoshi when he'd stop by and grace you with his company. For those few moments or hours, you'd feel that everything was good in the world, that maybe you could make it one more day if it meant seeing that tuft of purple hair and those glistening amethyst eyes one more time.
"Uh – not exactly, I guess? I don't know. I think back then I honestly had just given up on caring about my life Hitoshi. I was in the mindset that if something 'bad' did happen to me then I'd be okay with it. Truthfully, I'm too much of a little bitch to ever off myself, I wanted it to be done for me. I'd go as far as seeking out dangerous situations sometimes."
Hitoshi clenched his jaw, letting your words hit him hard, his hold on you grew tighter. You kissed the inside of his elbow that your face rested in and continued.
"I – I'd purposefully walk through the rough and bad areas of the city on my way home some nights. Hoping someone would think I was good enough to mess with and even hurt. Other times I wouldn't pay attention to my surroundings as I walked crosswalks during heavy traffic. I feel disgusted with myself that I even thought of giving into that man I worked for, then trying to back out of it, hoping he'd get mad enough to lose his control and just ... end me. I almost got what I wished for huh? Except that night, my entire view had changed, I didn't want that situation anymore but still it ended up happening, like some sick joke."
Hitoshi could feel his chest tightening, his heart aching and squeezing. The thought of seeing a story on the news about a girl with your description found behind a dumpster in the slums of Japan had his stomach in knots and made him nauseous. The fact that you sought that out, made it even worse. 
If you truly had gotten everything you wished for back then, Hitoshi would've been guilt ridden for sure. It was his fucking job to read people, how did he not see that dead and hopeless look in your eyes? 
Was it because when he was around, even if you acted annoyed, that you were at your happiest? Just the act of him stopping by and requesting you, was that what kept you going? What about your own family, there's no way they didn't play a part in your life and no way they wouldn't have helped you, had you asked for it.
"(Y/N), what about your family?"
Your shoulders shrugged and you hummed. 
"Well, I distanced myself from them. My parents especially, I just wanted to escape all the – the idiocy. My brother and his wife, their kids, they were another reason I kept going. My mother and father though, nothing happy every comes out of those relationships. Just being let down time and time again, picked over for something better."
You had no family really, except for your sibling and his small family. Those two kids of theirs were your entire world. Then Hitoshi and Eri came along and your world grew. You and brother would go a few weeks without talking to each other, it was normal. They would get busy with the kids and work, and you would be busy with whatever was going on in your life. Always though, you'd check up on each other after too long and pick up from where you left off.
Hitoshi was silent as you explained your sad and chaotic life to him, taking it all in. He never knew any of this went on, had he known, he would've done more, made his move earlier! You finally pulled yourself from his chest, going back to straddling his hips and looking at him. The man looked to be on the verge of tears. 
You pouted and cupped Hitoshi's face, leaning forward and resting your forehead to his.
"I'm sorry Hitoshi. I'm sorry I didn't value you my life like I should've. Sorry for not being strong enough and being a coward, for being stupid and endangering myself. I just, I had enough of it all, I was tired," a shaky breath left your lips, " - so tired. I wasn't going anywhere fast enough for my liking, I had these dreams that seemed so unrealistic and I got discouraged. You saved me though and each day I'm so thankful you walked into that café almost every goddamn day and showed me that smile and kindness. It got to where I lived for it, now wholeheartedly I live all because of you."
Tears flowed from your eyes and from Hitoshi's as well. When he felt a tear drop onto his shirt the hero captured you in his arms holding you as close as humanly possible. Your cries rippled through him as he held your head to him and pet your hair. You apologized over and over, for the smallest and most unnecessary reasons. Hitoshi quietly cried with you, comforting and shushing your un-needed words.
"You have nothing to be sorry for towards me (Y/N). I'm sorry I didn't notice sooner or did something about it. The thought of you suffering alone, not being this person I've been so blessed to see these past few weeks, it fucking kills me. As long as there's a breath in me, I promise to do everything in my power to make sure you're happy. I'll support and back all your dreams like you do for me, I'll always be here for you to vent to and let your frustrations out on, I'll be absolutely any and everything you could ever need. You have to promise me though that if you ever feel yourself slipping, even just the smallest bit, back into that void, you'll let me know."
You nodded, sniffling and wiping your nose and eyes with the backs of your hands and arms. "I promise Hitoshi. Thank you so much, for everything. I love you so much."
Hitoshi closed his eyes and squeezed you tight, placing a kiss to your temple and wiped your eyes. "I love you so much more."
The next few minutes were spent with Hitoshi holding you close, both of you calming down and getting back to normal. Your boyfriend instructed you wrapped around and hold him tight as he got up from the couch, carrying you to the kitchen and sitting you on the counter. He grabbed a clean rag and wet it with warm water, wrung it out then placed himself between your knees. As you sniffled, Hitoshi used the rag to wipe and clean your eyes and face. The warmth of the cloth made you relax and you gave the man an appreciative smile.
"Sorry I kind of ruined the whole vibe tonight Toshi."
"Baby, you didn't ruin anything. As painful as it was, I'm glad we had this talk. How about we play a friendly game of Mario Kart to get the mood back up?"
You chuckled as Hitoshi took your face in his hands, pulling you to look up at him towering over you and placing a kiss to your lips. Your hands hung from his as you kissed back eagerly. His warm and soft lips were helping to bring the warmth back to yours. The taste of spicy curry was still on his tongue that was welcomed into your mouth and lapped at your own muscle, you enjoyed it honestly. Tongues retreated back to their own caves and your lips enveloped each other one last and long time before breaking away.
"You're on Hitoshi, get ready to get your ass kicked!"
A cocky grinned grew on Hitoshi's face and he quickly tossed you over his shoulder, placing a firm smack to your ass as he carried you back into the living room. It stung more than usual being you weren't wearing pants to protect your skin. You playfully bit at the back of his shoulder, making him only bite your thigh in retaliation.
"Ow you fucker! I'd be nice if I were you, I do get to put together your Halloween costume in fact, and I could be evil about it!"
"What costume? I haven't told you what I wanted to be yet."
You smiled as Hitoshi flung you onto the massive couch from over his shoulder. His arms trapped your head and he looked down on you and leaned on the couch.
"You don't get a say in the matter, Eri chose for you and it's great! You see, you'll be going as the Cheshire Cat, ears and all! For once I'll be the one drooling over you in a kitty cat getup!"
Hitoshi narrowed his eyes at you and grit his teeth. Your finger reached up and glided under his chin then to bop the tip of his nose as you giggled.
"Cat got your tongue Toshi?"
"Bite me," he snapped back.
Propping up on your elbow, your hand cupped his neck and tugged him down roughly and closer to you, the tip of your tongue licked up the side of his throat and stopped at his jaw where you nipped lightly. "Don't mind if I do!"

ITinktober Day 24 Sink
Im guessing this meant bathroom sink not opposite of float sink. Anyways...........
WARNING: CHILD DEATH
Jacob blinks rapidly in the darkness as his hand flutters around on the wall, searching for the light switch. He can feel the terror, overwhelming and animal like, threading around his spine like some scurrying rodent. He’s always hated the dark. Always felt that other presence.
____________________________
It was usually at bed time that he felt it. After his mother had kissed his forehead and tucked him in. After she had said good night. Long after the boy’s imagination painted colorful images to dance along to the bedtime stories she’d read. It was a consistent and profound fear. Completely forgotten in the morning. Rarely thought of throughout the day. Occasionally mentioned in the evenings, although rarely. Soft and distant. Yet always waiting in his closet and under his bed. Always waiting for his mother to close that door. For the light to be turned off. Simpering and chittering yet silent as death. Watching the boy frantically making sure his toes are under the covers. Making sure that every part of himself is neatly tucked inside his blanket save the top of his face. Hissing and slathering in equal silence as the whites of Jacob’s frightened eyes flit around in their sockets. Looking for It.
It is always the same game. Jacob trying to find out exactly where the monster is hiding. IS THAT THE THING??? No. It is a sweater draped over the chair in front of the little desk in the corner of his room. Only a shadow in the gloom. The twisted hunchbacked shape merely the product of average darkness. Or perhaps the monster is under Jacob’s bed. Just waiting for him to fall asleep, to kick a foot out from under his covers. Waiting to chew the boy’s toes off and nibble on the bone. Jacob has nightmares of this. In these nightmares some tiny hell beast has saliva like a bedbug. Numbing as it bites. Disguising the agony that is SUPPOSED to happen at such things so that in the morning Jacob might slowly awaken to stretch in the sunlight, throw his covers back, and discover a painless bloody stump where his foot used to be.
If Jacob is lucky, he’ll fall asleep to dreams like this. If not….. Say perhaps his mother lets him have some soda, or he manages to get a hold of a piece of sugary candy, or maybe even just that he’d played too hard after supper and was still too restless to fall asleep. If he is not lucky, he lays there pondering what the beast must look like. Tonight is one of those nights. He uses the logistical power of a child to ascertain this. No why or how. Only the pure certainty and physicality of that knowledge.
He knows It must be small to be able to flit from shadow to shadow in his room without him ever seeing It at all. He imagines something rodent like. His child’s brain conjures forth an image from his mental clay.
First a corgi. As he simply knew it’d be that size. Then, his mind twists and contorts the dog to fit the convoluted expectations of his frightened mind. Stretching the dog’s body like fresh putty. Long. Longer. Too long. Curving the back upwards and bowing It’s legs so that It is forced to scamper like an overgrown, but still very fast lizard. It’s tail hangs limply, sweeping the ground like an alligator tail as It capers thru the misshapen shadows. It’s mouth stretches impossibly wide as It’s teeth lengthen and sharpen into rows of fangs that gleam wetly and silver until they resemble actual steak knives in It’s head. The lips are pushed back until both It’s eyes and ears are swallowed by these folds of skin. It’s fur darkens and begins dripping with moisture……
The boy sits upright in bed sharply. He’s forgotten something very important yet he cannot remember just what. His heart flutters as he realizes that whatever it was is something he NEEDS to remember. Something that if he doesn’t remember…… he could DIE. Jacob doesn’t know what an anxiety attack is but he’s certainly having one.
And……… he really has to pee.
And now he is here. His heart beating so fast that it feels as if it will tear it’s way up his throat. He KNOWS something is here, just WAITING to pounce upon him and turn him into a dead body. He’s seen one of those. His grandpa’s funeral. He doesn’t want to be a dead body.
His voice bubbles out in a crackled squeak of relief as his fingers finally find the light switch and flip it. Glaring light chases any rat monsters away. Jacob does his business before going to the sink.
He takes a moment to look at his reflection. He’s a pale and sallow boy, thin and haunted looking.
He then washes his hands, quiet and business like, as any good boy should. Before turning the water off he splashes the nice warm water on his face. He does this several times, enjoying the warm comforting feel. Then, keeping his eyes closed, he reaches blindly to turn the faucet off, then grabs the hand towel next to the sink to dry his face. He enjoys the soft texture of the towel as well. As he lowers the towel he sees that the sink is clogged and full of water.
He raises an eyebrow as he sees that the water is brown and clouded. And just as suddenly the smell of rotten warm shit hits his nostrils. He stifles a gag as he realizes he must have splashed this all over his face. He leans over and retches vomit into the water in the sink.
He continues to gag and retch and dry heave for some time before simply standing there with tears in his eyes. As his eyes clear he notices something among the brown and vomitus. Or 2 somethings rather. 2 somethings that turn his blood into ice and leave him very well frozen and unable to move.
2 beady red eyes stare out at him from just underneath the surface of the shit water. Even as he registers exactly what these 2 things are, small bubbles begin to pop up in between the 2 eyes making wet plinking sounds.
Finally, Jacob is able to move, stumbling away clumsily as his feet and hands are numb with terror.
He watches as the thing from his nightmares, the twisted reptilian rat creature, crawls sloppily from the water onto the edge of the sink to sit and stare at him. Only……. It’s WORSE than his most virulent and horrifying imaginings. It’s body appears to have been stretched even further, nearly snakelike, and looks as if it has been twisted and broken many times. It’s spindly legs ropey with muscle and It’s knees are bent in the wrong direction, making the thing stand like a 4 legged spider. It’s froglike feet are tipped with razor claws. It only has tufts of hair, sodden and dripping, emitting a fetid steam. As if It’s skin is rotting.
Jacob’s knees fail and he plops on the floor, directly and painfully onto his bum. His mouth is open but only hollow wheezes come from his lungs.
He watches as the one thing he remembers exactly becomes visible. The creature slowly begins to open It’s terrible maw, the steak knife teeth framing the impossibly deep recesses of It’s gullet.
Only It’s gullet is not a deep dark hole.
Jacob can see 3 tiny lights spinning and swaying as the sound of rich and frothy screaming bombards his ears.
And suddenly………. The fear is gone.
Jacob is floating.

sweet sundays: mcdonald’s parking lot (1/?)
pairing: bucky barnes x reader
word count: abt 1500
summary: y/n, the relatively new girl on the block, finally gets to know her (quite frankly, hot) next door neighbor, bucky barnes. 
a/n: whats good bitches i hope u enjoy let me know 
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧
“Where’s Prince Charming?”
You were wrist deep in dirt, doing your best to create your perfect ‘backyard oasis’ (as some woman on HGTV had so gracefully put it) by planting flowers. Mostly it was a means to occupy your time and to keep your mind off of the rest of the problems life had to offer, but you were also very tired of having a decrepit looking backyard. So, after mowing the lawn (which had been an utter nightmare, the grass was high enough to tickle your shins) you took a ride to a hardware store where you spent an unnecessary amount of money solely on flowers.
“What?” you asked even though you’d heard him just fine the first time.
“I said where’s prince charming?” The man, your neighbor, walked forward until his torso was pressed against the steel chain link fence that mapped out his backyard. He tried to rest an arm against the top rail of the fence, but the metal is hot from the sun and he reels his arm back, making a hissing noise that almost makes you laugh.
You rose and dusted the fertilizer from your gloves before gingerly removing them and leaving them next to the hole you’d left in the ground. You wiped sweat from your forehead before making your way over.
“He’s out,” you replied, standing in front of your fence, a cute little picket that was painted blue, chips in the paint revealed a layer of pink underneath.
“He’s been out for like three weeks.”
It had actually been a month and a half since he’d left. “You’re awfully nosy.”
“I’m observant,” he corrects. “It’s easy to notice his absence. It’s been quiet.”
“You’re one to talk,” you snort.
He makes a face. What?
“Your stupid fucking bike and your music. That shit’s loud as hell.”
His eyes narrowed for a second, dark eyebrows lowering. He is handsome, you decide, in an odd sort of way. He had what you liked to think of as a chameleon face. You were sure if he shaved his beard he’d look ten years younger. If he got the right haircut he’d look like a sweet yuppie kid, or with a little stubble added he’d turn into a handsome bachelor. Right now, though, he looked tired and greasy. The sweltering heat didn’t do anything to help anyone’s appearance. Maybe if he took a shower he’d look rugged in a hot sort of way.
“I like your shorts,” he comments. They were plain blue jean shorts, raw at the hems and baggy, a little long, stained with grass, smeared with dirt—gross.
“Are you done bothering me now, or was there something else you needed?”
“You never told me where he went.”
“You realize we’ve never spoken before this, right?” you asked, suddenly feeling irritated. “It’s none of your business.”
“I was trying to be neighborly.” The statement sounded oddly insincere, a little sarcastic.
You frown. “I’m going inside.”
                                                           —      
You saw him again on Sunday morning.
It was early, the sky only just beginning to glow with hues purple and pink and orange. You were seated out on your front porch, tapping your sneakers to some unheard rhythm. It’s an insubstantial little thing, the porch, too small for anything but maybe a little chair or two. You contemplated putting some potted plants out, but your hatred for dirt and your previous encounter with your nosy neighbor prevented you from working any further on your gardening endeavors. Still, it probably would��ve looked nice.
The neighborhood was actually kind of cute, in a run down, sweet sort of way. The houses were all different. Some well-kept, others looking overgrown and dirty, kids toys in the front yard even though you never recall seeing any kids. You didn’t speak to your neighbors much, never had any reason to. Now that ‘prince charming’ was gone, you kind of wished you had.
You spotted the nosy neighbor in his driveway, peering down into the hood of his truck. With your chin cradled in the palm of your hand you watched him quietly. That day he was handsome in an honest rugged way. Clean, and brawny, probably smelling like a nice pine car freshener or something. Hair pulled out of his face, beard full. He had on one of those white undershirts, showing off muscled arms. You feel like you might throw up when he meets your gaze. He looks away, but smiles to himself.
“Who’s the nosy one now, huh?” He didn’t look up when you approached.
When you couldn’t think of something to say you said, “That would be me, I guess.”
“You guess right.” He grins.
Perfect teeth, you noted.
“So what do you want?” Bluntly and without much inflection in his voice. He didn’t even look up.
You shrug, lean an arm against the truck, peering down into the hood with him. Everything inside kind of snaked around, a jumble of big bulky mechanical parts.
“What’s wrong with it?”
“That’s what I’m tryin’ to figure out.” He straightened, standing tall, wiped a hand on his already-stained shirt before he extended his hand to you. “I’m Bucky.”
You took his hand firmly in your own, “I’m Y/N.”
“So seriously, Y/N, what do you want?”
“I felt bad for the other day.”
His brows lift. “Oh yeah?”
“Mhm…”
“So you came here to….”
“I’m not going to apologize because you were being so nosy.” You clarify quickly. “But I didn’t have to be such a bitch about it. So—”
“So what?”
“So...you wanna come over and, I don’t know, have breakfast or something?” Maybe that was a little much.
Bucky’s eyes narrowed into slits. They’re blue, you noticed, a shocking hue of blue. Manic Panic in his eyes blue. Then he shrugged. “Okay.”
“Okay?”
“That’s what I said.”
“Well, what do you want?”
“You’re the one that invited me over.”
“I realize that,” you frown.
“What do you have?”
You make a face while you peer into the fridge, then into your pantry, both of which lacked typical breakfast foods. “Well...I can make you some spaghetti, but just the noodles. I don’t have any sauce.”
“You didn’t really think this through.”
“Oh, Cheerios!” You examined the box, then shook your head. “They expired last month, you don’t wanna eat these.”
“Tell you what,” Bucky began, “I’ll take you to breakfast, alright? You can make me breakfast next Sunday. How’s that?”
“That’s cool.”
“Are we taking your truck?”
“I mean, unless you want to drive.”
“It wont blow up on us?”
“No.”
“I thought there was something wrong with it.”
“There is,” he shrugged, “But it’ll get us where we need to go.”
“What about the bike?”
“My bike?”
You nodded. You hadn’t ridden a motorcycle before.
He smirked. “You wanna ride my bike?”
“Don’t say that with that look on your face.”
“Maybe some other time then.”
                                                            —
“Why’d we go through the drive-thru? We could’ve just ate inside.”
Bucky had parked the pickup in the McDonald’s parking lot where the two of you sat, mouths full of hash browns and bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits.
“Gross inside.”
“Gross in this truck.”
“Don’t talk about my baby like that?”
“Your baby?”
“You’re kind of annoying,” his voice had taken a thoughtful tone. His goofy laugh betrayed him. “So seriously, what’s your deal?”
“What’s my deal?” you repeat, amused. “I hate that question.”
“Okay, well, tell me about yourself. How’s that? That better?” He nudged your arm with his knuckles.
“Yes, much better, thanks.”
He stared back at you expectantly, shaking his head in a way that said ‘I’m waiting.’
You purse your lips, opening and shutting your mouth, at a loss. What was there to say? I’m Y/N. He already knew that. There wasn’t much to know. Your boyfriend left you because he’s an asshole, which you didn’t mind as much as you thought you might have. “How about you tell me about yourself?”
“Mm-mm. Nope. I already bought you breakfast.”
You frowned and slumped further down into your seat, ignoring his inquisitive gaze and pretending to chew very thoughtfully on the remainder of your hash brown. You wiped the grease from your fingertips on a napkin, looked over at his smiling face. “I’ve always wanted a pickup.” You hooked a finger on the door handle for a second before you turned to look back at Bucky. “I wanted a green one. No reason in particular, I guess. But I liked the idea of me driving in it with the windows down and stuff. It’s corny, I know....” you voice faded while you turn to look out the window. You sighed, “Maybe it’s stupid, but I bet it feels good, you know?”
Bucky watched you with a look on his face that you couldn’t quite place. He seemed faraway for a moment, as if what you said took him to a place you had never been. He smiled, “I know.”

vapor - luke one shot
word count: 7,278
rating: NSFW
keywords: smut, songfic, angst
summary: All good things come to an end. You spent your summer between the sheets with Luke, the boy from the beach house next door, lying to him while he was in love with you. On your last night together, you are left to face the music and he is left to pick up the pieces.
A/N: this piece is inspired by vapor by 5sos, obviously. it’s my fav song by them and i wanted to write something that reflected how i interpret the lyrics. i hope you enjoy. this is my favorite one shot i’ve written :)
You could taste the guilt on your tongue. The wistful words bounced around your brain repeatedly; a reminder of who you pretended to be throughout your entire summer spent on the coast. You weren’t quite sure what it was that had inclined you to act in such a way. You were manipulative, careless of his blatant attachment to you and apparent sentimental feelings, but what you did was done and it couldn’t be changed. Not after all these months, not after all the time you had with him wrapped blissfully between the sheets, and it certainly could not be changed after tonight.
Maybe that’s why you decided there was no point in being honest now. Maybe that was why you continued your facade, hanging on his every word as you sat beside him around the bonfire. The two of you weren’t alone. It was an end of the summer party held on the beach just blocks away from the house that your family had rented for the season. Tomorrow you would be returning home. Everything was coming to an end. Maybe that was why you couldn’t gather up the courage to be jarringly truthful.
So you sat beside him, swallowing up his presence for the last hours you were able to until you flew back home, which was unfortunately located across the country. You couldn’t deny the fact that you had enjoyed the summer with Luke. He was good company. You had found a friend in him, someone worth confiding in, but you also couldn’t deny the fact that his feelings for you were of a magnitude that overpowered yours completely.
He was in love with you. Luke was absolutely, positively in love with you. It was evident in his every move, his every touch, his every glance. You didn’t feel the same, so you lied to him. The disingenuous words would fall from your tongue each time you kissed him, felt his body flush against yours, warm and comforting, familiar.
However, the regret you felt because of your actions weighed heavy on your heart. You had never known yourself to be deceitful, but you were selfish; that much you could admit. You couldn’t stand to be cooped up alone with your family for the entire summer, so when you met the boy who lived in the beach house next door, he seemed as though he was decent company enough. In actuality, Luke was more than that. He was everything you could ever dream of, but somehow, something was missing.
You forced yourself to push the thoughts out of your head. You were brought back to yourself, lulling into reality when you felt his strong arm wrap around your frame. A breeze was picking up despite the hot, roaring fire in front of you, illuminating the features of everyone sat around its perimeter. Luke’s eyes were cold and alert; a contrast to what they usually looked like when his gaze would lock on yours, light to match his smile, which was also failing to make an appearance at the moment. He was thinking. You could practically see the gears turning within his own head, his jaw clenched and his lips set in a thin line.
With a soft sigh, you leaned into his side just slightly, making him aware that you wanted his attention. Once Luke looked down at you, his stare dropped over your face in observation. He raised his brows. “What’s up, babe?”
The petname tugged at the hole in your heart, which was only growing with every passing second. It was your last night spent with the boy who you had wrapped around your finger for the entire summer. The both of you were realizing it, although the definitive feeling in the air was affecting Luke more than it was you.
“Just wanted to know what you were thinking of.” You murmured in reply. Your proximity to him was so close, you could shift forward a fraction of an inch and your lips would be on his.
Luke smiled, although the gesture was empty. Forced. “I was thinking of getting out of here, maybe taking a drive.” He replied nonchalantly. “Wanna talk to you.”
You felt yourself tense. You knew what he meant by “talk” and you also knew that it didn’t mean he was just up for the mindless chat that the two of you usually shared. Luke was being serious. You could see it etched into his every feature.
“All right,” you said. “Let’s go.”
The two of you stood up from the flimsy plastic lawn chairs in synchronization, turning the heads of those who were sat around the fire with you. You said your goodbyes. Some were saddening, considering you had made a good handful of friends that summer, but you eventually walked from the beach with ease. Some relationships were meant to be fleeting, you had learned.
Your footsteps fell heavy once you reached the pavement, nearing Luke’s old pickup truck. The two of you had spent much time crammed into its cab, singing along to the radio’s top ten pop songs with the windows rolled down. Sometimes you would find the energy to get up early with him and go through the drive thru, getting coffees and donuts to share while you would watch the sunrise. He would drive you around town, revving the sputtering engine to impress you, although his attempts would fail miserably. The memories were warm.
You could feel the lump in your throat begin to thicken.
Luke was walking a short distance behind you, but he quickly picked up his pace to step in front of you to open up the passenger door and help you in. You felt his hand linger on the small of your back once you climbed into the cab, inhaling his scent for one of the last times. He shut the door in silence and rounded the vehicle’s front, swinging himself up into the driver’s seat before turning the key in its ignition.
The radio continued playing from before when he had picked you up for the party. It hummed low in the background, clouded by the white noise that was resonating in your mind. You could feel the tension between the two of you, how it was masking what was supposed to be a bittersweet ending to one of the best vacations of your life. You had messed up. You had fucked with Luke’s feelings, and you didn’t deserve to be sad about it.
He pulled out of the parking lot. You watched the way his arms were extended outward, fingers curling around the steering wheel effortlessly. His side profile was illuminated by the sporadic street lamps, his jaw littered with patchy stubble that you had grown to admire. He looked good, but unhappy.
“What did you want to talk about?” You urged yourself to ask. Your voice sounded foreign, unknown due to its shake.
Luke swallowed thickly, glancing over at you as the two of you waited at a stop light. The entire town was quiet, asleep, considering it was well past midnight and the population consisted mainly of retired elderly people. You liked the peacefulness of your surroundings.
“I, uh, just wanted to talk about us, really.” He stuttered out. He seemed nervous as well, chewing on his lower lip, his thumbs tapping repetitively against the steering wheel.
You said nothing in reply. You weren’t sure of how to bring up the subject of your relationship with Luke, if you could even call it that. The two of you had spent the past three months hooking up without ever defining whatever you were. However, you were practically inseparable, and you knew how he felt about you even if he never explicitly said it.
You inhaled sharply as if to brace yourself. “Luke…I have to leave tomorrow. You know that.” You muttered. Your tone was deflated and hopeless.
Luke continued driving down the main street, the low hum of his truck comforting you despite the hecticness that was going on within your thoughts. You could see how your words had already began to cut into him, leaving him bleeding already.
He was silent for another moment. You watched as he turned the truck into the empty parking lot of a local restaurant. It was dark, but you could still make out the torn expression on his face. He didn’t want to hear the answers you had to his questions. He already knew. But he still felt as though he should ask. He needed some sort of closure. He fell in love with you in the span of three months, and he wasn’t sure if he would ever see you again. Luke was holding onto the one last shred of hope he had, that maybe you were in love with him too.
The truck was in park. Luke turned off the ignition, although the keys were still abandoned in the ignition. You two were sitting in uncomfortable silence. He was the first to break the impending quiet.
“I know you’re gone tomorrow, but I figured this would be…worth a shot, maybe.” He muttered, shifting in his seat to look at you fully.
You couldn’t help but stare back at him. He was so beautiful, and he was right in front of you all summer. You felt awful for stringing him on.
“What are you trying to say, Luke?” You sighed.
He ran his fingers through his hair, thinking before he spoke, spitting out his words in haste. “Do you love me?”
You weren’t sure what you were expecting him to say, but it wasn’t that. The blunt question made your blood run cold. You froze, your eyes still locked on his, and you could detect the hope that was laced within his gaze. He was completely and utterly still, afraid to even move a muscle, as if even that would change your answer.
But you took too long to come up with a response. Your answer was lain in your hesitation. You didn’t love him back, not in the way that he loved you, at least. You didn’t love him. Even though the months that you had spent with him were some of the best of your life, stuck by his side through every hour of the day, spent creeping into his bedroom while trying not to wake his parents. You didn’t love him, even though he was the one you shared the summer with, sneaking kisses on the beach or wiping the ice cream from the tip of his nose as you laughed. You didn’t love him and you couldn’t bother to hide it. Not anymore.
Still, you opened your mouth for his benefit. You wanted to tell him you loved him. You wanted to love him. But Luke caught you, raising his hand in interruption, bowing his head as he stared down onto his lap.
“Just…nevermind. Don’t say anything,” he replied, dejected, his voice hoarse. “But I love you. And I-I want you to remember me, all right?”
It was almost as if you could feel your heart shatter into millions of tiny little pieces. You could feel it sinking into your chest, your palms warm with nervous sweat as you stared into the eyes of a boy who loved you with everything in him, but you didn’t feel the same. You never knew that guilt could hurt so badly.
“I’m sorry.” You whispered sadly.
Luke shook his head, running his palms over his jaw. You watched his actions, noticed the blatant disappointment that shone through in his every movement. However, you were surprised once you heard him say, “C’mere.”
“What?”
“Come here.” He repeated himself. “Let me kiss you. One last time, just let me kiss you.”
You were unsure of yourself as you unbuckled your seatbelt. You already felt bad enough about leading him on for so long. The fact that he still wanted to kiss you was confusing, but you wanted to do whatever would make him feel better. So you shifted over the seats in the cab of his truck until you were side by side, although Luke had other ideas. He was already pulling you into his lap, already pushing your hair out of your face. His fingertips ghosted over your jawline as his eyes studied you. It was like he was trying to memorize the way you looked, because the both of you knew it would be the last time.
And then he was leaning in, just brushing his lips over yours gently and slowly, his eyes barely open. You were shaking like a leaf beneath his touch, overwhelmed and perplexed, guilty and disconsolate. But he was calming you. His hands on you were like a saving grace, feeling the same as they did all summer long, palms calloused and rough against your smooth skin. His taste hadn’t changed and you felt yourself wanting to remember him, just as he had said. Your feelings differed but you didn’t want to forget him.
You melted into his kiss, caving into him completely and fully, letting him wrap his arms around you. You cupped his face in your hands, feeling his facial hair scratch against you as his jaw moved while his lips did. His kisses were slow and deliberate, pointed, as if he was trying to make the moment worthwhile. You had never kissed him so languidly and effortlessly before, and suddenly, you wished you had spent the whole summer like this - savoring his words and his flavor and the way he fit with you.
Luke sighed against your lips, pulling away after a moment to trail his hands up and over your shoulders, down the expanse of your arms as he admired the way you looked while you were perched in his lap. He was quiet and his chest was heaving gently, heart racing, breathless. You were in the same condition, in awe of what had just happened between the two of you. You could hear your blood pounding in your ears, your lips tingling from his kiss.
“This is the last time we’ll ever see each other, isn’t it?” He questioned, tenor gravelly.
“Yeah,” you nodded. “It is.”
Luke frowned and his fingers curled around your wrists subtly. You stared down at him, awaiting his next move, but time was frozen at the moment. It felt as if you were going to be stuck in the cab of Luke’s truck with him forever, retracing the memories in your head, reminding yourself of how much he loved you.
“Let’s make the most of it, then.” Luke stated quietly.
Your eyebrows drew together at the sound of his words. You cocked your head, immediately opposed to his proposition, but Luke seemed dead set in his ways. He was nodding, already convincing you with the mere look on his face, moving to hold your hands in his own and squeeze.
“C’mon,” he whispered. “It’s only one more night. Just…just lie to me again.”
You blinked. You felt horrible while listening to the desperation in his voice, how badly he wanted to make this night with you last forever. And you were sure that in Luke’s mind, it would last forever - he would play these moments over and over again in his head, play your memories on repeat, thinking of all the times that you told him you were in love, but not with your words - with your actions.
So you did what he said. You leaned in, quicker than you had before, succumbing to his conviction as you kissed him passionately, igniting the fire that had been burning inside of you ever since you met him. Your body fit together with his perfectly, skin electrified by his mere touch, but there was an emotional disconnect that you had finally been able to acknowledge. Except now, the two of you were ignoring it.
And you reveled in that - in the ability to suppress your guilt and your regret as you buried yourself in Luke’s kiss, twining your fingers through his hair as you pushed it up and off his forehead. He whimpered while you shifted in his lap, feeling your lower halves move closer as you arched into him. His hands smoothed down your back, gripping your hips as your tongue rolled along his acutely.
Luke pulled away just a fraction of an inch, his lips still against yours as he mumbled, “Lie to me, baby.”
You tugged on the roots of his hair gently. It was enough to make him whine again, to lean in and reconnect his lips to yours. You could taste the mint on his tongue which surely contrasted the alcohol that lingered on yours, although Luke didn’t mind. He would take whatever he got when it came to you, especially on this last night. He would take anything.
His hands slid up the curvature of your waist, beneath the cotton material of your old tee shirt. Well, it was actually his - you had stolen it from his bedroom floor at the beginning of the summer, but soon it became yours once Luke saw you in it, claiming he liked the way you looked in his clothes. And he was letting you keep it, surely. You didn’t even want to give it back.
You could feel his grasp sliding over your ribs, raising goosebumps on your skin. His hands were cold and chilling, moving over every inch of you, trying to feel as much of you as he possibly could. The two of you were virtually ravenous. Your pace was speeding up as your kisses turned sloppy, swallowing one another’s pants as your tongue traced over his bottom lip before you pulled back just briefly, allowing Luke to tug the shirt over your head.
You observed him smile to himself as he tossed it to his side, most likely noticing that it was his. But then his eyes were back on yours, pale eyelashes surrounding his infinitely blue irises that somehow still shone despite the darkness. You took your hands from his hair, your palms sliding down his cheeks until you were cupping his face while you stared at one another. Your chests were still heaving and the air was still hot around you, but you needed this moment - just a silent pause while you met his gaze, bringing you back to Earth, sobering you.
And then you leaned in to kiss him again, grinding your hips down against his, your jaw going slack from the relieving feeling of the friction. Luke’s reaction mirrored yours: his mouth fell agape instantaneously before he sucked in a sharp breath, his forehead resting against yours as the both of you became too distracted to continue your kissing.
You steadied yourself on his broad shoulders, gripping them through the thick material of the flannel shirt that he had thrown on over an old tank top. Your breathing was ragged as you focused on the gyration of your lower half, how Luke would shift his hips up so that he could increase the contact, hands stationed back on your hips again.
He tilted his head upward so that he could kiss you once more, rolling his tongue languidly over yours, pulling your body down as the friction began to tease him to the point where he was growing frustrated. You could feel him hard beneath you, erection straining against the tight denim of his jeans, making your stomach jolt from the mere thought.
Luke’s hands skimmed up your exposed torso, twining around your back so that he could unclasp your bra. His fingers fumbled nervously for a moment before he was pulling the material from your chest, letting it fall from your arms before you threw it to the side, your eyes locking on Luke again.
He reached out, although you were already close enough to touch. He ran his palms over your breasts, squeezing them, his lips parted as his gaze flickered back up to meet yours. “So fuckin’ pretty, baby.” He murmured, then reached up to tuck your hair behind your ear.
You blinked at him, unable to summon the words to reply to his dreamy compliment. Everything felt dazed - you were guilty all night over what you had done to him this summer, but here he was, touching you and holding you close to him like you hadn’t done anything wrong.
The pad of Luke’s thumb swiped along your bottom lip as he looked at you longingly, then leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss to your forehead. You felt the cool metal of his lip ring and the scratch of his beard against your skin before he pulled back again, allowing you to tug the flannel he was wearing down his arms. You pulled it off until he was shrugging out of it, left in a tight white tank top, that same necklace he always wore dangling against his skin, shining from the moonlight outside of the truck.
“Gonna miss you, y’know.” Luke whispered, his thumb still smoothing over your bottom lip in soothing patterns. “Wanna show you how much I’ll miss you, all right? That okay?”
“Yeah, Luke.” You nodded, your voice weak as you spoke, lowering as he pulled you in for another kiss.
And you were lost again. It felt like it did all summer long - you could practically taste the salt on his skin from the ocean, practically feel the warmth that was radiating from his body from the sun. It was like you had rewound time to the first month that you had spent together, completely immersed in one another without a worry in the world. It felt effortless, but you knew the moment meant so much more to Luke. For you, this was a goodbye, but for him, this was his last chance to prove himself to you. He was still hopeful despite the fact that he knew you didn’t care for him - not that way.
Luke’s tongue was smooth and sweet against yours. It traced the outline of your own, his hands still on your breasts, your nipples hardening from his touch. Your skin was littered in goosebumps but you could only concentrate on the way his chest felt so broad beneath your palms. You could feel his heart beating through the thin material of his tank top, how it was pounding erratically, contrasting against your own heart’s steady pace. He was nervous, anxious, and you knew exactly why.
You ground your hips down again, hearing him expel a quiet whimper that matched your own. Luke’s touch traveled southern, his fingertips trailing over your navel before they were fidgeting with the button on your denim shorts. You felt your breathing shallow once he unzipped them, letting you shift so that he could shove them halfway down your thighs, leaving you in some flimsy lace underwear.
“Wanna feel you, baby.” He gritted, touch dancing around the area where you were craving him most.
“Luke,” You sighed his name, your stare burning into his intensely.
He said nothing in reply, averting his gaze downward to where his fingertips were trailing over your slit. The angle wasn’t ideal but you made do with all the room that you had in the cramped area of his truck, which only forced you to be even closer together.
Finally, you felt him touch you properly, his index and middle fingers rubbing you over the material of your underwear. Your fingernails dug into his shoulders, surely leaving behind crescent-shaped marks that would still be there tomorrow, even if you weren’t. You were inundated with how quickly he warmed up your body, breaths escaping from behind his teeth as his eyes flickered from your lower half up to your facial expression so that he could gauge your reaction.
“Gonna miss how good you look like this.” He mumbled after a moment, still brushing his fingers over you haphazardly.
You were practically bucking your hips up into his touch, your bottom lip taken between your teeth. Luke was enjoying your desperation, but he didn’t show it. He wore a poker face, his brow furrowed and his lips now set in a tight line, jaw clenched and eyelashes pale against his light pallor. He looked determined, focused only on making you writhe from his touch.
He then dipped his hand beneath the waistband of your underwear, dragging his fingers up your slit, gathering the moisture that had developed between your legs. He was breathing unevenly, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment as he began rubbing at your clit, looking up to enjoy the way that your body was already shaking in front of him.
You leaned back so that you were practically draped over the steering wheel and dashboard. Your back was arched as you moved to grip the door beside you along with the center console. Luke was stunned for a moment by the way you appeared, completely sprawled out and hot all over, your lips parted in pleasure as your eyelids fluttered shut. His movements slowed, his mouth falling agape at the sight of you.
“Always so beautiful,” Luke told you. “Remember that.”
And you believed his words. Providing the way he was looking at you, it was hard not to. Luke was always so sincere, wanting nothing more than to please you, than to have you as his own. But that couldn’t happen, and it wouldn’t - you were leaving tomorrow, you were lying to him.
You felt him insert two of his digits into your center, easing them forward slowly. Your body retracted, breathing shallowing as you screwed your eyes shut at the intrusive feeling. Luke’s free hand smoothed over your bare torso, between the valley of your breasts, down over your navel until he was rubbing at your clit, curling his fingers at the knuckle. Your jaw slackened at the combination of the pleasures, your tenor wavering as you gritted out, “Shit, Luke, feels good.”
“Yeah, baby?” You heard him rasp. “Like that?”
You only nodded rigorously. Your eyes flashed open for a sparing second to see Luke already gazing at you, the movement of his fingers unceasing. Your walls were clenched around his digits as he eased them in and out of you at a steady, safe pace, but it was still enough to get you sweating. Your skin was growing clammy and sticky and your stomach was tensing as Luke’s fingertips continuously traced around your clit in a teasing manner.
You could hear his breaths escaping from his lips just as fast as yours were. He was getting worked up from watching the way your body responded to his touch. The way that he could get you shaking beneath him in a matter of minutes was something that always amazed him. He took pleasure in making you feel good, in getting you to expel his name in a myriad of whimpers and moans.
You bit down on your bottom lip, absently leaning forward, closer to Luke as the pace of his fingers increased. They were brushing against your g-spot, curling to make your body spasm with every shift of his wrist, and the fact that he was still working your clit was bringing you closer and closer to the edge with every passing second.
But what you were aware of the most was Luke’s static glare, the way that he was watching your every move, the way that your body would writhe and your eyes would screw shut. He was so entranced by how you looked like this, your skin virtually glowing from the moonlight shining in through his truck. His scent was surrounding you and you could feel him everywhere, even more so when he leaned forward, pressing his lips to the hollow of your throat.
You whimpered as you felt him suck a lovebite into your skin, his teeth grazing over the flourishing bruise, followed by his tongue, as if he was nursing the area. You whimpered, your back arching as he moved upward, facial hair tickling you as he kissed at your neck again, slowing the pace of his fingers. You whined as time seemed to slow down around you, coinciding with the pace of his every move, with the slow, torturous pleasure that came from the sensation of his mouth on your neck.
And then he pulled back just a fraction of an inch, just enough so that he could speak against your skin. “Sound so sweet, baby girl.” He murmured. You could practically feel his words against your neck, able to make out every single syllable he uttered down to the minute shape of his lips as they moved. You shivered at the sound of his voice and how it outpoured smoothly, like velvet, like honey.
You felt your back arch even more as he sucked another hickey just below your ear, lips moving up to ghost over your jaw before he was hovering over you, watching the way you started to shake. You could feel his knuckles curling more deliberately, his actions more pointed as he became determined to bring you over the edge.
You were close - the both of you could feel it in the way your arms shot out to bring him closer to you, one of your hands curling around the nape of his neck, fingers entangling themselves in his hair. Your foreheads bumped against one another as you moaned, but Luke quickly suppressed the exaggerated noise by kissing you passionately, his tongue swiping against yours in one swift motion.
And you were losing it. You could feel your body grow hot all over, a feverish warmth that lit your skin on fire. Luke held you closely as you cried out his name euphorically, your eyes shooting open as your lips brushed against his while his fingers worked you, your body squirming uncontrollably. You couldn’t help yourself - the intensity of the pleasure was getting the best of you, overtaking you and clouding your mind for a few blissful seconds.
But then you were brought back to yourself, a certain silence thickening in the surrounding air. The only audible sound was the truck’s stereo and its static hum in the background, overshadowed by your heavy breaths and the way they fanned over Luke’s face as he studied you with his bottom lip taken between his teeth.
“You drive me insane.” He whispered quietly, as if it was a secret that he was confessing within the darkness that you two shared. His confession was followed by a kiss, his lips melting against yours fluidly, slowly, as if the both of you had suddenly became overtired. But then he pulled back, pushing your hair out of your face, knuckles brushing over your cheek affectionately. “Wanna feel you all over me.”
You were still shaking from your orgasm, but you found the strength to nod your head, to run your fingers through Luke’s hair and push it off of his forehead. “It’s our last night together,” you breathed out. “Don’t let me forget it.”
Your words spurred Luke on. He chuckled lowly, the sound rumbling low in his chest. His smirk was contagious, the way that it twitched his lips and made them curve upward on the ends only, exposing only a single dimple and the mischievous glint that you had found in his eyes many times. The mood was lifting and you could sense it.
His hands were back on you in a matter of no time, memorizing your body and its curves and its edges. His touch was soft and tentative, and you knew just how badly he wanted to take you home back to his and spend days on end in his bedroom by the beach together, but this moment was all you had left. It was bittersweet, just as you had predicted.
Luke nudged you so that you were standing, your head level with the roof of his truck as you were stationed between his parted legs. He shoved your shorts and underwear down your legs the rest of the way, then stilled completely once you reached out to undo his belt buckle and begin to rid him of his jeans.
They were tight, and there was a short moment of struggle, but he eventually got them down his legs, leaving him in a pair of briefs that clung tightly to his thighs. You could see every inch of his erection and how it was straining against the black material, how Luke’s breathing had increased to the point where his chest was rising and falling rapidly. You decided to pull at the hem of his tank top, to lift it up and over his head so that your eyes could drag down his torso, over his smooth pale skin.
You were back in his lap almost instantly, noting the way Luke swallowed thickly as you looked at him from beneath your eyelashes. Your faces were level now, almost touching as you ran your hands down his abdomen, feeling it clench from your mere touch.
“I’ll miss you too, Luke,” you found yourself admitting. “A lot more than you think I will.”
He only nodded, unsure of how to reply. He was too distracted by the sight of your bare body on display before him, too distracted by the feeling of your fingertips tracing the straight outline of the waistband to his briefs. You were teasing him, but only because you knew he liked it. You had learned almost everything there was to know about his body, knew all of his weaknesses, what he enjoyed and what made him sweat.
And with that realization, you also discovered that you would miss knowing everything about Luke. You would miss the time spent with him and you would miss how natural it was, how easy it all was. You were going to miss him more than you had initially anticipated, and that was what scared you - that maybe things were changing within this very moment.
You urged the thoughts out of your head as you leaned forward and pressed your lips to Luke’s, feeling him practically let out a sigh of relief because you had finally kissed him again. He craved tasting you, feeling your tongue move against his in the alluring way that it usually did. He could spend hours with you like this, if it were up to him. Unfortunately, it wasn’t, and that sad fact was starting to sink in.
Slowly, you dipped your hand beneath the waistband of his briefs, wrapping your grasp around the base of his erection. He was almost throbbing from the frustration, his voice wavering as he murmured, “Oh, fuck, baby.”
He stopped kissing you completely as his jaw went slack once you began to stroke his length. You watched him the way that he had watched you - with admiration, closely studying the way he reacted to your every maneuver. He would whimper quietly when you swiped your thumb over his tip, spreading the bead of precum that had leaked. His eyebrows drew together immediately as you gripped his shaft tighter, twisting your fist around him, your other hand continuously running your fingers through his disheveled hair.
“You make me f-feel so good,” Luke choked out, hips bucking upward into your fist absently.
You shushed him, soothing him as he moved to grip the driver’s seats armrests. His knuckles turned white from how harshly he was holding onto them, completely overwhelmed by your touch, by your quiet voice as you observed him pant.
But Luke was quickly nudging your hand away, shaking his head and mumbling something to himself under his breath. He opened his eyes to look at you again, lips parting before he muttered out, “Need you, all right?”
“Need you, too.” You whispered in reply. You didn’t have to think before you spoke. The words spilled from your tongue effortlessly.
Then Luke was fumbling around for his wallet, flipping open the leather before reaching into one of its pockets so that he could pull out a condom. You watched with hooded eyes as he ripped open the foil, sparing a passing glance at you before he was nudging you out of his lap only slightly so that he could roll the latex over his length. His bottom lip was between his teeth as he did so, and then he was gazing at you again, pulling you back to him.
He reconnected his lips to yours briefly before you were adjusting yourself above him, lowering your lower half down onto his length. You moved slowly, your muscles tightening as you sucked in a sharp breath at the sensation, your walls clenching around Luke’s girth familiarly.
He sighed out immediately, relieved as his arms moved to wrap around your frame, almost in a hug. He was holding you close to him so that your chests were flush against one another, skin sticky. You could feel the cool metal of his necklace pressed against your skin as you steadied yourself on his shoulders, bottoming out completely until he was so deep inside of you that you whined, eyes rolling back.
“Okay, baby?” Luke asked you, his lips at your ear.
“Yeah,” you muttered quietly. “Feels so good.”
Luke didn’t say anything. He was already too inundated in your body, feeling the way your walls were clenched around him as you pulled yourself up, then lowered down again as you started to develop a rhythm. Your body was moving in synchronization with Luke’s - his hips would raise as yours would fall so that he was practically fucking up into you from beneath, mouth brushing against your ear as his grip rested on the curvature of your waist.
You were already shaking from the pleasure. Luke was beginning to take control, noting the way that you were too distracted by the sensation to continue moving. He was thrusting up into you, grunting softly, the noises sounding so pretty as they filled up the silence of his truck. You wanted to hear them again and again and again, and that thought scared you. You were so stuck on leaving this summer behind, but right in this moment, you never wanted to leave. You wanted to stay.
Your fingernails dug into the skin of Luke’s shoulder as you clenched your teeth, feeling the way his tip hit your g-spot every time he angled his hips forward. Luke was moving quickly, his pace quickening in correlation with his breaths. You could feel them fanning over your skin, hot and ragged, stopping short only when he would grunt in satisfaction.
He pulled back, loosening his grip on you so that he could actually look you in the eye, and you couldn’t tear your gaze away. You were hypnotized by the endless blue and the way that he was staring at you with such adoration, you felt your heart skip a beat. No one had ever looked at you so earnestly, so lovingly. For the first time in your life, you knew what it felt like to be loved.
And you didn’t feel so guilty anymore.
Subconsciously, you leaned forward and kissed him as fiercely as you could, as if you wanted to communicate what words couldn’t. You were so overwhelmed by the pleasure that you felt, but they were only emphasized once they fell into correlation with what was going on in your mind. You felt feather-light, like you were floating on cloud nine, and the only thing that was holding you to Earth was Luke’s gentle grasp on your waist.
His tongue traced the ample outline of your bottom lip, acutely and precisely, as if he was trying to put his all into kissing you as well. You were attempting to stop from whining, your body trembling as he thrusted in and out of you with more concentration. Luke bit down on your lip, pulling back until he released it, eyelids fluttering open so that he could meet your stare again.
You wanted to open your mouth, to say something, anything - even if it was just his name in a simple whimper, but your voice was caught in your throat as you felt yourself get lost in the pleasure. You could barely think coherently because of how good everything felt, how Luke’s hands were now snaking away from your waist and up over your ribcage, skimming over your breasts until he was cupping your face.
“Gonna lay you down,” Luke murmured, his voice strained.
You could only nod. You were unable to speak, your eyelids screwing shut as he shifted the two of you so that you were laying down across the truck’s narrow seat, Luke’s tall stature hovering over you. His touch slid down from your chest to your thighs again, parting them even more as he gazed down at your body, unable to fathom that this would be the last time he was going to see you like this.
Your back arched as he began to move again, reigniting the fire that had already built up. A thin sheen of sweat was formulating on Luke’s forehead, his hair sticking to his skin in damp strands. His pale chest was flushed pink and the vein in his neck was protruding as he clenched his teeth, moving his hips forward methodically.
You could feel your muscles begin to tense, your toes curling as your hands frantically searched for something to grab onto. Luke took note of this and reached down, taking both of your hands in his, interlocking your fingers and squeezing. He was breathless, panting as he gazed down at you, the silver antler necklace hanging from his chest in the darkness between you.
“I’m so close, baby,” he admitted, his tenor gravelly, words emitting low from his throat. “Wait it out for me. Want you to cum with me, all right? That okay, baby?”
You nodded rigorously, feeling Luke’s pace begin to slow as his hips started to stutter. Your every sense was on edge, tingling as you felt your high approach you. You squeezed Luke’s hands until your knuckles went white, until you were moaning so loudly that your own voice sounded foreign to your ears.
Luke was in the same condition, blinking slowly as he thrusted in and out of you deeply, making you feel every inch of him with each move he made. He was losing it, his words coming out in low whispers, incoherent and unable to comprehend. You weren’t surprised when he silenced himself by leaning down to leave you a lingering kiss, thrusting forward one final time before speaking against your lips. “I love you,” he mumbled quietly. “Just lie to me.”
And you were trembling, your mind completely erratic and hectic as the pleasure became overbearing. But there was something you wanted to say - you wanted to test the words out on your lips, to see how they tasted, how they would feel against Luke’s tongue, so you said it. You let the three words slip into the air between the two of you, evaporating, but they would never be forgotten.
You told Luke you loved him.
And you weren’t sure if he heard. Part of you thought maybe you just imagined saying it before you were brought to the edge, your hands squeezing Luke’s tightly as the both of you reached your high at the same time, a mess of tangled limbs and soft whimpers in the quiet cab of his truck. But the other part of you was sure that you had confessed your feelings - the ones that you had pushed aside for the entire summer.
You told Luke you loved him, and you weren’t lying. Not anymore.

It’s all fun and games until you go outside and see a mountain of snow waiting for you to be shovelled. But there are some good aspects to winter, like skating and skiing and all that fun stuff. Snow is so heavy?? Or maybe I’m just weak but after I finish shovelling I’m beat. Gardening is not my thing. There’s too many bugs involved flying around 🥴
Kind of? I always thought it was short for cappuccino but I could be wrong. They don’t taste like fraps tho, they’re sm better. I was always a frap hoe until I discovered lattes.

Day 132 (9/26).
I woke up the next morning and right away got my phone out from the food truck fully charged and started taking advantage of the fastest and strongest LTE signal of the whole trail by uploading as many videos and backing up as many photos as I could to my iCloud. I got a coffee from the gas station and was still working on my phone stuff when Butt'rs woke up and ask if I wanted to do breakfast. I can't ever remember turning down the option of a real breakfast this whole trail... so, of course, we went over to the Pancake House. We ordered breakfast and stayed for a second cup of coffee since it was pretty good. Before we payed and left, we finally saw old Dan come in and get seated in another section. I said hi and waved as I payed my bill upfront. Then I went back out to the food stand and started packing up and cleaning up from the night before. I had gotten my things packed up neatly and cleaned up the area until it looked presentable. Butt'rs also was getting his things ready and I went in to enjoy a nice heated restroom with a real toilet while it was available after all that coffee. When I came back from the toilet, Dan was also finally back in the stand and a lady with a laptop had come in and was talking to him, but I really needed to get my phone which I had let charge more after having run it down a bit already this morning... uploading burns through a battery faster than anything else I know. I stepped in and said sorry to intrude I just need to get my phone. He then said he was sorry about last night, that his ex and the county had both been getting to him and we were just in the way. Something to that extent anyway, and I just said you're good man and left. We finally had all of or things together, pilfered the hiker box for a minute, and it was time to roll. Butt'rs went to get his battery pack and they also exchanged what I'm assuming were similar words, and then we were finally off and back on the actual PCT!! It was nice to be back on trail. We had a pretty good climb right off and we passed two teachers and a few students who asked if we had seen a girl in pink at the parking lot, but since we had bypassed the parking lot we didn't know if she was there. This was all in passing and at the end the second teacher said to be careful when we see a pink sweatshirt on the trail that there was a yellow jacket swarm there since one of the kids had stepped on the nest, one girl then said she had been stung 3 times. Awesome. Wasn't too long before we saw the pink sweatshirt and sure enough tons of yellow jackets swarmed around it right beside the trail. I just quickly and quietly hurried past and Butt'rs did the same, we got past without being stung. We saw the whole rest of the class and other teachers soon afterwards and they made way for me as I was dripping with sweat. They asked if I was a thru-hiker and I said, "yes, started at the Mexico boarder and been out almost 5 months now." I went on and Butt'rs wasn't too far behind. We stopped for some food, and there really were a lot of people out on the trail today for a day hike. We passed all kinds of people, but eventually we got out and to higher elevations and the people started to thin out. There really were some gorgeous views, and I remembered how much better hiking the trail was than road walking and that it had been a while since we had seen any views like these. Just an all around beautiful day! We passed 2400 miles and didn't see a marker, so again I made my own. We saw some small, pretty lakes with red huckleberry bushes and hemlock/cedar looking trees. It was nice and we hiked well into the night without headlamps for as long as we could and then I finally turned on my phone light and he used his headlamp (I didn't want to take off my pack and search for mine since we were close to stopping for the night). We finally got to a spot near a big log before a creek. Butt'rs said he would get water at a trickle we had just seen. It was going to be a little tight for two tents in this spot, but we could fit and started setting up. Butt'rs came back with water and said he saw a mouse. Didn't think much of it. Was like ok, no big deal. We cooked dinner and then went to bed with our food sacks in our tent like we had since we left the bear canisters behind after the Sierras. But tonight would be different. After going to sleep we immediately heard mice messing with Butt'rs ramen package that had just been left out to clean up in the morning. Again.., whatever... then I go to sleep..... All of a sudden I wake up to a mouse right by my head inside my tent and I'm like f*ck fu*k f*ck! I finally get my phone and turn on the light and he is gone and I see a little hole where he chewed is way in through the mesh of the door to my tent. I was pissed, half asleep, and grossed out that it was crawling around near my face and head. I shoved my empty tent bag into the hole to plug it an went back to sleep. I woke up AGAIN to a mouse in my tent, relentless little f*ckers! This time I grabbed my phone and turned on the light quickly... there he was... a little light gray one and he was running back and forth panicking and I was making some weird noise (as Butt'rs would tell me later) kind of freaking out not knowing if I should let him find his own way out, or to crush him with something, or to unzip the tent to shoo him out... but finally the mouse ran back and pushed and clawed his way back through the hole somehow that I had just plugged tightly with the tent bag. I was done! I shoved all kinds of things in to plug the hole as tightly as possible and kept flashing my light at them whenever I would hear them get close to my tent. Somehow I went back to sleep and didn't wake up until morning and managed to not have anymore intruders that night. (Dalate waterfall, mile 2408.7)

The bad penny
Layla
*Sin City was definitely living up to its name. Our first night in Vegas had been one I’d never forget .. what I could remember of it. After leaving the “Art Gallery” which I’ve decided was not a legit gallery at all, we hit the shops then made our way back to the hotel room to get ready. With the key safely deposited in the safe, we headed out for dinner. Tao was amazing, the service, the atmosphere and the food. After dinner we paid well over the odds for a 5 minute ride in a gondola thru the Venetian then made our way to the hotel casino. Judging by the pounding of my head this morning we were in the casino a looooong time.  The last thing I properly remember is Wilder tugging me to the high roller section .. after that it becomes hazy. I look towards the bathroom where the sound of the shower running and singing can be heard which makes me smile as I collapse back into the pillows groaning. The fact he’s in a seemingly good mood must mean he beat the house. Thank God. I look around the enormous room, my eyes landing on the safe. The safe that houses the most expensive key known to man and a flurry of questions rush thru my mind. We didn’t discuss it last night, I refused to taint our first night with talk of business (which is exactly what that was) and Wilder wasn’t forthcoming with the information, so I still remained clueless. I just couldn’t decide if that was a good or bad thing ...*
Wilder
*Vegas was growing on me. I had won big last night. At the tables and with my wife. I knew her mind was working in over drive but sometimes it was best to leave her guessing. All would be revealed in time. I towel dry, got dressed and stepped from the bathroom to find her lazy ass still in bed* Little Ball of Fire, time to get ready for the day. We have Vegas shit to do. I know you have things you would like to see that I ruined yesterday. *Smirking, I check the time.* You have 15 minutes or the party bus is leaving without you. No aquarium though. That’s not Vegas. *I pour a cup of coffee and wait as you scramble from the bed.* Make that 14 minutes.
Layla
*I see the way you look at me and know exactly what you’re waiting for my body isn’t ready to move at a fast pace yet .. I don’t even think it’s ready to move. I roll from the bed, my shoulders dropped slightly and my walk slow as I head to the bathroom* You’re so mean to me .. always putting me on a timer. How are you not feeling like shit this morning? I’m sure you drank just as much as, if not more than, me. *I step into the shower and wince as the water hits me, the cold feels like a thousand needles pricking my skin until it warms up and I relax a little. Even with no intention of rushing, I shower as quickly as possible then emerge feeling a little fresher.* I swear I’m never drinking again .. *I mumble as I pass by your to the closet and roll my eyes when you tap the face of your watch. I don’t waste anytime messing around. I slip into comfortable clothes and a pair of sneakers, tying my still wet hair back out of my face and stand in front of you and shudder as I say what I’m thinking.* Please don’t tell me today’s the day we’re going up the Stratosphere...
Wilder
*I finish the last of my coffee and eye you up and down.* Is that what you are wearing today? You should have switched to ginger ale after the first drink like I did. *I avoid the death glare you are giving me and hold the door open.* Was the Stratosphere not on your list? I’m catering to all things Layla today so smile Little Ball of Fire. You don’t always get me so accommodating so I recommend you take advantage.
Layla
*My eyes narrow at your treachery. If I’d known you’d switched to ginger ale I’d have made my cocktails virgin. I cover my mouth at the thought* What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? *I look down at my t-shirt, shorts and sneakers then back to you* Comfort is the aim of the game today, husband. And while the Stratosphere is on my list, I don’t think the people on the rides, or the good people of Vegas standing below, want to see the contents of my stomach. *I move to where you sit and position myself between your legs, my fingers teasing thru your hair* We can make our way to old Vegas this morning. Go to Fremont Street and check out the Mob museum?
Wilder
I don’t care to see a jail cell if you throw up on people and we need to fight. *I laugh and lift you up, taking long strides to leave our room.* First lets get some food in you to soak up all the alcohol and then find some mobs. Maybe if you are lucky, we can buy that thing you could not stop staring at last night. *The elevator takes us down and I keep a tight grip on your hand.* Don’t take any of those cards people try to hand you. We are not hitting up those places here.
Layla
*I wrap my legs around your waist and bury my face in your neck, humming softly as you walk us to the elevator. My feet hit the floor when the doors open and I pout at the loss of contact until your hand is on my hip and your pulling me close* I don’t think they’re for places to go .. I think they’re for girls *Chuckles* to come to your room .. so don’t you be taking any of those cards Mr *I reach down and pinch your cheek, laughing softly as the doors open* I hear Serendipity do the most amazing pancakes .. let’s head there .. because now I honestly feel like I could eat a horse.
Wilder
I think they cater to all baby girl. No discrimination. *I growl against your ear and head in the direction of pancakes, my hand firmly gripping your ass. Vegas might be growing on me but I will never understand the lengths one city goes through to steal your money and make you lose your entire life. I can do that in a heartbeat back home and feel no guilt. You will be as rich going in the ground as you were above. Life really is simple.* We should take in that volcano show tonight. Feel the heat from that fire. *Smirks as we stop at the restaurant and wait to be seated.*
Layla
If you want heat .. I can got you hot under the collar, baby *I smirk across to you as we stand and wait (im)patiently to be seated. I grab my stomach as it grumbles and thank the Lord, 10 minutes later, when we’re finally shown to a table for two on the terrace. Before the waitress can even ask if we know what we like, we’re reeling off our order and handing back the menus she’s just given us. I cross my arms and lean forward slightly, grinning at you as I admire the sight of Caesar’s Palace behind you* So what are your thoughts of Vegas so far, husband? Are you enjoying it?
Wilder
*My eyes cut in every direction since our chairs are out in the open on the terrace and I can’t see who is approaching from behind, landing back on yours. I reach up and flick your nose playfully.* It’s loud, dirty, has this smell you can’t wash off, everything is way too big. I think I would need need to see the seedy side before I can give you my honest opinion. It might be ok. *I lean back as the waitress brings our drinks, nodding my hand in thanks.* What is your opinion of all this sin?
Layla
*I laugh when you give me your opinion, not at all surprised, then smile at the waitress when she places our drinks on the table. I load my coffee wit way too much sugar and take a satisfying sip, smiling with I feel the caffeine taking immediate effect* This world of sin ... I love it. I couldn’t live here but for a trip, I’d happily return a couple of times a year. Whether Vegas would let us return .. well that remains to be seen *i smirk at you over the top of my cup*
Wilder
*My head falls back, booming laughter filling the terrace.* Mrs. Steele, I don’t know why you assume I will get us kicked out this city or even state. I have been on my best behavior. *I lower my voice.* I have not felt the need to pull my knife even once. I would say that is a record but the day is still young. I make no promises.
Layla
*I laugh and shake my head at your declaration* we’ve not been here 48 hours yet, there’s plenty of time for us to get thrown out. *I lean in and whisper back to you* Please try to keep your knife in your boot *I sit back when the waitress approaches with our food and thank her as she places the hugest plate of pancakes down in front of me, then look back to you* for a little longer, at least.
Wilder
You have my promise Fire. No knife will come out of my boot while we are here. *Stabs a huge bite of pancakes and shoves it in my mouth, not promising about the knife in the back of my pants.* I’m being accommodating remember. *My eye catches a profile that seems familiar as I continue to eat.*
Layla
So accommodating that you’ll even agree to come to the aquarium *I smirk taking a mouthful of pancake, nodding my head* Such a good husband. *My smile falters when I lose you for a moment, your eyes widening slightly when you clearly see something. I turn my head in the same direction and search the crowd to see what you’ve spotted and then I do.* What the hell ...  *My head spins back and my mouth goes dry, the pancake suddenly feeling like I’m chewing cardboard* Is that ..?
Wilder
Carlos. All the way out here. *My fork drops to my plate and I push back from my chair. I stand to my full height and make my way across to the terrace and his table. He gives me his eat shit grin as I stare him down. My jaw clenched and I crack my knuckles to form a fist.* You are always one step behind Carlos. I already have what you are looking for. You can scurry back into your hole with your tail between your legs.
Layla
*I follow behind you and grab your hand, aware of eyes on us and not just Carlos’s* Wilder ... maybe we should take this somewhere a little less ..
“Well, what a pleasant surprise this is” He waves his hand away dismissively as I try to pull you away “Now now Mrs. Steele, there’s no need for that. We’re all friends here, Won’t you both join me? We can discuss ... business.” He smirks as he sips his coffee.
*I scowl, and it’s not a playful one, at the man who has just ruined this entire trip.* No, thank you. We have our own table that we should be getting back to. *I tug on your hand again a little more forcefully*  Wilder ..
Wilder
You are a fucking asshole. *My words not loud enough for anyone else to hear.* I’ve played nice but not anymore. I will run you from this town and mine. *I take Layla’s hand and we head back to our table, sitting down. I slice through my pancake like I would the skin on his body and shovel another bite in my mouth. Trying to ignore the annoyance of his appearance.* Let’s forget about him Layla.
Layla
*i don’t look back when you take my hand and pull me away. Your words make me smile though when I take my seat and watch you* I don’t think I’m the one who needs to forget about him *I sit forward and lower my voice* but why the he’ll is he here? Now? The same time we’re here. That’s not a coincidence is it. *Its not a question, it’s a statement.*
Wilder
It’s Carlos. He is a thorn in my side. *I snag a piece of bacon from your plate, a smirk growing across my face.* Plus I got what he came here for. The key.....

Nautica/Firestar. Nautica is fixing a control panel in a vent and her lower end is sticking out of the vent in a hallway. Firestar comes by and sees her sticking out and decides to take the opportunity that is presented and frags Nautica silly. Nautica gets moaning and it echoes thru the ventwork.
“Solus, the wires are such a mess.”
Firestar exvented, checking her chronometer. She looked at Nautica across the room. Nautica’s top half was wedged inside an open vent as she worked on the fixing… God, Firestar couldn’t remember. She’d been repairing the damn panel for nearly an hour now, and Firestar was getting impatient.
“Just promise you’ll fix it in the next thirty minutes,” Firestar pleaded, sitting back on the bench. The room was tiny, and Nautica’s rear was… very close to Firestar’s face. Not that she minded; Nautica had a nice aft. But she had made plans with her amica endurae that evening, and wasn’t keen on breaking them.
“You can go without me, Star,” Nautica reassured, binding two shredded wires.
“You’re always trying to get out of these things,” Firestar huffed, glowering at Nautica’s behind. “Besides, it’s just a little get together. Rosanna and Glyph are throwing a party after officially becoming amica endurae. They only invited me, you, Astroscope, and Cryostase. Glyph and Astro are huge nerds, so you’ll get along with them fine.”
“I just don’t want you to feel you’re forced to stay here,” Nautica explained.
“It’s to keep you company. S'what amica endurae do.”
Nautica smiled. “Yeah, true.” Even if that also meant going to parties they had no interest in, to support their friend. Firestar was also hoping to introduce her to more friends, to get Nautica out of her shell. “Well, Firestar, got some good news,” she said, quickly reconnecting the last three wires. “I’m all done!”
Firestar bumped a fist, mouthing a wordless “yes!” “C'mon, glitch,” she said, standing, flames on her head flaring. “Let’s get you polished up then go party!”
Nautica nodded. “Yup.” She braced her hands against the walls, using them to push herself out. “Just a second…” Except… nothing happened. She pushed a little harder, but armor and kibble along her back and shoulders got in the way. Armor that could not be removed properly at this angle.
“What’re you doin’?”
“Uhh…” Nautica shoved and wiggled a few more times. “I’m… sorta… stuck.”
“Stuck?” Firestar gawped. “How’d you even get in there in the first place!”
“I just–crawled in! I don’t know!”
“Well, can we take the wall apart a little?”
“No way! We’d get into so much trouble!” Nautica disagreed, shaking her head. “Why don’t you try pulling me out? I might dent a few things, even tear my pauldrons, but… Well, the show must go on.”
Firestar nodded. She took Nautica by the legs. “Ready?”
“Ready!”
Firestar started pulling. Nautica struggled, until the pain shooting and jabbing through her torso was unbearable. “S-Stop! Stop!” she cried, dropping her fhead. Venting heavily as her spark skipped and jolted in her chest.
“Why don’t we call maintenance?” Firestar suggested.
“Maintenance isn’t here,” Nautica exvented low and long. “That’s why they asked me instead.”
Firestar stamped her foot, pouting. “Well… I’m sure one of them could come back. Or we could call an ambulance. There’s a clinic a few blocks away. So long as we’re out in forty-five minutes, we’re good.”
Nautica groaned. “I suppose. But I can’t comm anyone from inside this thing. Blocks signals.”
“Mm'on it, bot,” Firestar chuckled, opening a commlink. Nautica, ashamed with her face buried in her hands, listened to her friend explain the situation. A minute later, she closed the transmission, and now Firestar sounded grumpy. “They said it might take about thirty minutes to get here, maybe more. I don’t think she took me seriously.”
“Just go to the party without me, Star.”
Firestar rolled her optics, flopping over Nautica’s rump and resting hands on her back. “We’re stuck. You in there, me with you,” she snorted, half-grinning. “If they take any longer, I’ll ring up Rosanna and explain what’s up. The party ends before night simulation anyway, and that’s in four hours.”
“I’m really sorry.”
Firestar was about to say something, when suddenly an idea struck her. One that made the fire crackling from her helm brighter and stronger. “No need to apologize, Nautica,” she said, cupping her friend’s aft. “I think I know what we can do while we wait for help to arrive.”
Nautica’s optics flickered, twin beams of blue light in the dark shaft. “… By the, uh, hand on my aft,” she gulped, “I’m assuming…?”
“Eyup.”
“Like this?” Nautica squeaked. “B-But–”
“No, no, it’s perfect,” Firestar chuckled, tapping her fingers on Nautica’s panel. The purple bot jumped. “Unless you don’t wanna, and we just… stand here and complain.”
Nautica chewed her lip. “W-Well… I mean… I guess it’d be… interesting?” Firestar was always trying to get her try and do new things. Maybe this qualified as one of them? “Okay, but! The moment I hear someone on the other side of those doors–”
“–Right, right,” Firestar snickered, “cut me some slack. It’ll be great, trust me.”
Nautica trusted Firestar–with certain things. This… not so much. It’d be a first time for the both of them. Or, at least, Nautica figured it was. Firestar was known for having some interesting kinks, after all. She didn’t expect much out of this experience; it was probably going to be more awkward than pleasurable. Uncomfortable, given her position.
… Nautica had been wrong before. Because what did start as weird and slightly discomforting fondling and prepping turned into something too ridiculously incredible for a situation like this. Firestar was soon holding her hips, lining herself up to Nautica’s channel before sliding inside, inch by inch. Nautica gasped, slamming a fist against a wall; the vibrations rattled through the entire shaft, metal wobbling.
Firestar was much more skilled when it came to interfacing. Nautica had done her fair share of fragging, but not nearly on the same level as her amica endura. She knew what to do to have a pretty good time, but this… Interfacing with Firestar was always a wild ride. This took the cake, and Nautica wasn’t exactly sure why. It couldn’t have been her own slight exhibitionist streak; she was a mostly introverted person. But Nautica knew the sounds she was making were loud enough to travel through the shaft and out the vents into rooms, some with probably really confused people inside.
“S-S-Solus, Firestar, oh mm–” Nautica whined, panting. Firestar was fully seated inside of her; sometimes slamming half in, half out, other times pulling out to the tip then thrusting, over and over again. The pace was too fast, unpredictable, and all Nautica could do was cry and whimper and clumsily shake her bottom half in Firestar’s arms.
Nautica could just imagine Firestar’s unit–red, orange, with blue biolights along the shaft and top of the head. The heat of their light radiated against her channel walls, wet and expanding to take more of the fiery bot. Her channel, obscenely open and dripping so much lubricant; she could feel it on her thighs, down her legs, and wondered just how big a puddle she’d made so far. Fun explaining that to the EMTs when they came around. Nautica might have complained, but all that she could say was Solus and Firestar’s names, peppered with plenty of profanities and mewls.
“Y-You open s-so nicely for me,” Firestar sneered, chewing on her tongue. Bending over the purple bot, one hand still holding a hip as the other steadied itself against the wall. She snapped her hips faster, repressing laughter at the loud squeals coming from inside the shaft.
Nautica was rocking hard and fast, the armor and kibble keeping her stuck in the hole pounding against its edges. Didn’t hurt–at least, she couldn’t feel any pain. Nothing strong enough to tear her hazy, spinning mind from all the heat and sensations racing from her channel through the rest of her frame. “F-Fire-s-star,” she stammered, crossed optics lidded and tongue hanging from her mouth. Fingers digging into the walls at her sides intensely enough to dent the metal. It was getting far too humid in this shaft, making her even more dizzy. Two stories above, a Camien was peeking inside their vent, wondering about the strange muffled noises.
“Scrap, Nautica,” Firestar snarled, watching her unit move swiftly in and out of the purple bot’s channel. Never too much; the wet, clanging noises as her pelvis hit her aft not nearly as loud as Nautica’s yelping. “Could do t-this all day.”
Nautica vented out a string of oh-oh-ohs, coolant spittle flying from her lips and dangling tongue with each violent sway of her body. She grabbed her chestplates, finding a seam and probing it with two fingers. The low groan she made was fairly embarrassing, but only about three or so people heard it. No one could see her, thankfully, and she couldn’t hear anyone above or below complaining or questioning or suggesting checking the shaft for the source of the moans.
“You m-make such filthy s-sounds,” Firestar grinned, teeth clenched. She reached down, thrusting a finger beneath Nautica’s hood and stroking the node alongside her unit.
Nautica screamed, vision going white. Her visor snapped into place over her head. A second later, she heard a faint voice coming from below: “I-Is someone up there?”
“F-Firestar, Firestar,” Nautica croaked, “I’m gonna–harder, just a little–”
Firestar snarled. “Yeah, yeah, I’m just–”
The two overloaded, almost at the exact same time, give or take a few seconds. Firestar howled, tugging and yanking on her friend. Nautica cried out again, jerked just hard enough–both bots squealed as Nautica suddenly tumbled out of the hole, hitting Firestar and knocking them to the ground a few feet away.
Nautica slowly sat up, Firestar’s depressurized unit limp against her thigh. She glanced back at the red-yellow bot, blinking behind her visor.
Firestar snorted, then started laughing. “Your visor!”
“That was… What?” Nautica giggled, pushing the visor back. “How in the Forge…” She looked around, awed and baffled.
“Well,” Firestar exvented, “I think we can call off the ambulance.”
“Yeah,” Nautica agreed, wiping her optics dry. “You do that. I’m gonna… find some cleaner. And a mop.”

Dog Gone Problems: 18-month-old Goldendoodle doesn't respect its 14-year-old owner | Momaha.com
New Post has been published on http://doggietrainingclasses.com/dog-gone-problems-18-month-old-goldendoodle-doesnt-respect-its-14-year-old-owner-momaha-com/
Dog Gone Problems: 18-month-old Goldendoodle doesn't respect its 14-year-old owner | Momaha.com
Dog Gone Problems is a weekly advice column by David Codr, a dog behaviorist in Omaha. David answers dog behavior questions sent in by our readers. You can reach him at [email protected].
I have an 18-month-old Goldendoodle who is a very kind and loving dog. My family’s intent is for him to work as a therapy dog. The problem is I am a 14-year-old small girl who this dog doesn’t respect at all. I feel like I have tried everything. My family has hired behaviorists and trainers. I walk him 30 minutes a day — morning and night — and I train him for 10 minutes after each one of those walks. No matter what I do, he doesn’t respect me. However, he respects the rest of my family. All my dad has to do is walk in the room and he will drop whatever he has. It’s the same with my brothers, who are 11- and 16-years-old.
The next issue is that he has possession aggression. He is very fast. He grabs everything and does not let it go (at least for me). For example, he loves socks and will swallow them. Because of this he has had to get two surgeries and has had multiple visits to the vet to induce vomiting. We have buckets with lids and locks, but he can also open doors. When he gets something to chew on and I try to take it away, he growls — a lot. Then when I try to open his jaw, he bites me.
I need help. How can I make him respect me? Is it my fault or the dog’s? 
Wow. It sounds like you have quite a few issues going on. From what you wrote, it appears you are doing some good work already. Maybe we just need to add a little fine tuning. I can share a few tips.
Let’s break your letter down into individual sections so you can focus on one thing at a time.
First, respect for dogs can be confusing. Some of the factors may be related to your age and stature. Size matters to dogs. That said, one of my former apprentices has gone on to become a dog behaviorist and she is just over 5 feet tall. So it’s something you can get past.
While the walks are great, they may not be enough. Your average dog needs an hour of exercise every day, but some dogs may need even more. From what you wrote, I’d guess your dog falls into that category. This video on creative ways to exercise dogs can help you supplement your walks with some easy indoor exercise options.
I’d look for some ways to build in compliance before your dog gets what he wants in your day-to-day life. Petting with a purpose is a wonderful way to help your dog learn to respect you as a leader and help him practice asking for things instead of telling you what to do.
Do you enforce rules with your dog? Dogs often see those who enforce rules as the leader. Enforcing rules gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your leadership in small, subtle ways multiple times a day.
I’d suggest you also start developing a strong leave it command with your dog. Once established, you can pull out high-value items and leave them on the floor when you can supervise and give the dog the leave it command. The more you repeat this, the less the dog will try to take things you want them to leave alone.
Lastly, this video includes a really easy and sneaky way to condition your dog to come to you — even when you don’t call him to come over.
Remember, training and behavior are separate. While training is awesome, I’d suggest you work more on these structural changes and behavior exercises to help your dog learn that listening and respecting you cause good things to happen.
Good luck and remember — everything you do trains your dog. Only sometimes you mean it.

POGROM: a script
Establishing shot of the a small village on the banks of a marsh. Low huts and primitive buildings make the settlement difficult to date. It is probably early in the 20th Century, but the remote location and poverty of the inhabitants make it seem like a much earlier time. These are peasants, in the mold of those found on the pages of Tolstoy and Gogol. A distinct whiff of the Cyrillic swirls thru the dress and habits of the residents, but no more than a whiff—they are a flinty, mistrustful, irritable populace who knows hardship well, but who have found in their community a bulwark against the very worst life has to offer.  
The main work of the village is fishing: clumsy barks line the banks of the water, and nets are piled on the dirt between the reeds.  
NARRATOR [voice-over throughout] There once was a village in the old country that sat on the edge of a lake...
We see a fisherman pushing his boat from the shore. The fisherman begins fishing.
NARRATOR: And the villagers were a fishing people...they earned their living from the fish they caught on the lake…
(Off-screen quacking growing on soundtrack)
Closer on the man fishing.
NARRATOR ...and this living was meagre, but it sustained the small village and everyone would have been content with their lot except...
Duck flies into frame and lands on fisherman’s head.
NARRATOR ...Except for the ducks.
Man shoos duck away…lifts his fishing spear, happy to see a small fish it, moves to remove it—and a duck swoops thru frame and steals it.
Cut to woman preparing bread in her home.
NARRATOR The ducks had always been a nuisance.... but recently their boldness and ubiquity had increased to the point that the daily routine of every villager felt their feathered intrusion....
Duck flies in through woman’s window and steps on her bread—woman shoos duck away, angry. Shot of duck prints in her bread. Cut to: a different woman eating bread, stops her chewing, spits out a black duck feather. Cut to: feather woman and baker woman arguing.
NARRATOR …as a continual plague…
Kids playing marbles in the dirt—ducks fly into scene, land, and eat one kid’s marble—he is non-plussed, then steals marble from smaller kid—smaller kid starts to cry.
NARRATOR …and a source of rancor for all…
Man and woman in bed, beginning the physical act of love, camera widens out to reveal duck sitting on man’s backside. Man gets defeated look and rolls off of woman, onto his back. She shrugs and rolls opposite way, closes eyes for sleep.
NARRATOR It was all too much for the villagers. (imitating voice of a village man) “We must be rid of these ducks!”
They all agreed——but the question was how? They had tried before—and failed. They were but simple fisherfolk, and these ducks were crafty and skilled at evasion.
Montage of villagers trying to snare or slay ducks, with no success. The villagers reconvene in center of village.
NARRATOR One of the villagers spoke up——he was a man who made a point of keeping up with events in the wider countryside and who thought of himself as very clever. (imitating voice of another villagers) “I know how we can be rid of these foul creatures once and for all——there is a thing the authorities do now, it is called a POGROM.”
What is this POGROM the other villagers wanted to know.
(NARRATOR imitating voice of villager) “A POGROM is the removal of an unwanted.”
And at this he nodded, and the rest of the villagers nodded with him.
So it was decided. They would have a POGROM.
NARRATOR But, as none of them had a rifle or knew how to hunt, it was agreed they should ask the HUNTER….
Cut to HUNTER and DOG striding along a country road, entering the village.
NARRATOR So they asked the HUNTER to make their POGROM and rid them of their ducks forever. For this they offered him one hundred copeks and wine and promised him that he could take the body of any duck he killed, and sell it at market, or leave it to sink to the bottom of the lake—they didn’t care. They just wanted every duck GONE.
“Why is this?” The HUNTER asked.
“Because it is a POGROM.” The villagers answered.
The HUNTER did not need to hear anything more.
HUNTER shooting ducks in montage until last duck is destroyed. Piles of dead duck bodies.
NARRATOR When finally every duck had been killed, there were too many bodies for the HUNTER and his dog to carry, so they piled them at the edge of the lake, and tossed dried reeds onto the pile, and lit it all on fire. A great smoke rose up, and at first the villagers were alarmed…they paddled in their boats to see what was burning.
The HUNTER greeted them. “Your ducks are no more,” the HUNTER said. “Now you will be free to live in peace.” And he took from the village his hundred copeks and some wine and told them that if ever their ducks reappeared to call on him, and he would come back. “I will show them that this is a village that will not tolerate even one single duck!”
And with that he disappeared.
Villagers watching fire.
NARRATOR The villagers rejoiced: “Finally we are rid of those annoying creatures! Now our lives will be happy again!”
And for a time, they were happy....
...but soon, other annoyances crept into their routines. Perhaps a line that broke while fishing, or a hole in the net that allowed one’s catch to escape, or the new kitten that gets into the dough....
[montage of all this]
...and so, in very little time, the villagers were as irritable and annoyed with life——and with each other——as ever they were with the ducks.
Villagers repeating same arguments with each other as in opening.
NARRATOR A mood of dark dissatisfaction seeped into every aspect of life. Whatever fleeting sense of peace the villagers felt dancing before the bonfire of the ducks, it had all dissolved into the same petty squabbles and mistrust. “Maybe,” one villager shouted at his neighbor, “what we need is another POGROM—to remove YOU!!”
And so it went….at the end of each day, climbing into their beds they would mutter against each other, and scheme their petty retributions to counter the petty insults they’d felt the day before….
Day by day, the village dreamed darker and blacker dreams….
Villagers tossing and turning in their beds...a dark cloud seeps thru the village lanes...the distant sound of spectral quacking…a shadow settles over the sleeping folk...
All fades to black.
The sun rises, the streets of the village are silent. We hear a man’s voice humming an awkward tune in the distance…it is coming closer…
Cut to heavy boots clomping lazily through the underbrush——a dog appears, jogging alongside. It is the HUNTER.
Long shot of the HUNTER entering the village. The streets are empty. The boats are safely pulled ashore. No one is on the lake, fishing.
NARRATOR The HUNTER called out to the villagers, “Hello there village! What of life after your POGROM?”
But there was no answer
No one emerges from their huts. A faint sound—unclear what it is…the HUNTER strains to hear it…it is quacking! Every hut in the village is soon alive with quacking. The DOG begins barking, running from one doorway to another.
A DUCK emerges——a duck that looks suspiciously like the head fisherman. Then another duck—this time resembling the lady baker, and her children, and her neighbors…
The HUNTER scrambles for his gun. The quacking is now a roar. He loads his rifle and pops off a shot, then another and another. The camera goes wide, and slowly rises away from the sorry scene until the screen is filled with sky. Only the sounds of the carnage tell us what is going on.
NARRATOR And the HUNTER did not stop until every last duck was dead.
Today there is little that remains of the simple fishing village. . . . But it is said by those who have visited the place, one can see the most fantastic breeds of duck there, frolicking in the water and flying overhead.
Because you see, Nature may tolerate a POGROM or two, but it abhors a vacuum.

Pao, Mighty O's and New Shop Reviewed
I tasted doughnut after doughnut until I finally made it down 6th Street at the time of day Pao was open.
It was a glazed doughnut. I tried to hide my anticipation with all the excitement I felt. It seemed to take much too long for me to pull away from the drive thru window and around the corner.
In the middle of some residential street nearby, I decided to set my vehicle in park just to take a bite. Luscious, yummy, melt in my mouth glaze, puffy, soft and delicious doughnut, the one that made me feel better for that New York all the way to Washington trek. Yes, a mouthful needs that many adjectives and commas.
Taste is something that can take you anywhere. Pao took me back to Kansas. Yes, the Kansas City Lamar’s standard measured the greatness of this doughnut. If each makers’ glazed doughnuts were placed before me, I’d consider biting into both of them at the same time.
Ok. Pao’s is the best doughnut I have tried so far in the Greater Seattle Area.
Although theirs was named best doughnut, thus far, Pao’s had competition.
Mighty O’s gave Pao a run for the winning spot on this list. There’s a little sign at the entrance of the shop with an inclusive message.  A+. I appreciate businesses taking visual steps in social responsibility. One day, we won’t need those messages.
The location is also superb. Here, I could complain about Seattle parking, but I found a space around the block easily enough – still paid parking. Ah, but the simple joys must burn off somehow.
This doughnut’s flavor tasted of test kitchen. The reason I would rank this doughnut shop second on this list is the chocolate frosting. You can taste the quality of ingredients and that quality shows in the price. Still, I felt it was priced too high. But I do take into consideration the vulnerable farmers involved in the farm to service process.
Elephante Angry
Hold up, readers usually high horse it when it comes to my saying anything about ethical sourcing. To set things straight, de Lignes are cousin to the infamous Marie Antoinette for sure, but trying doughnuts isn't quite the level of telling starving citizens to "eat cake".  I'm well aware if you don't have flour you can't make bread, cake, doughnuts etc. My plan to end hunger extends food benefits and makes it easier for businesses to accept those benefits.
Back to reviewing...
Prior to trying love’s first bite and after Mighty O's, I was on the lookout for a better doughnut, as promised.  Spotting a little white elephant while making my way down 23rd Street in Seattle, I felt drawn to the shade of purple paint that coats the building of Raised Doughnuts. It took me a minute to wrap my head around why on earth “Raised” was included in the name. I chose to stop in.
A very cool space that redefines “doughnut shop”, the Elephante felt at home and I took in the genuine aura.  The owner/operator was happy to recommend Raised Doughnuts’ most popular selling item, raspberry covered doughnut holes. I agreed to her suggestion and decided on adding a mochi doughnut to my order.
Bad news first…
I am not a fan of mochi. I’ve sank my teeth into many a variation, of those unhappy experiences, ice cream mochi was the only type I didn’t gag on. But bravely, I tried again. I’d much rather be saying I found a new food that didn’t make me angry, but that’s not the case.
Here is how it went. I took a bite of the mochi doughnut. I couldn’t chew. Half an hour later, I revisited the doughnut after walking my dog. I tried another bite, which I regretted instantly.
The raspberry doughnut holes were good, however. Pricy for doughnut holes, but the uncommon raspberry dusting probably accounts for the price. They are an airy density that pairs better with champagne than coffee.
Pao's hit the spot and satisfied that necessary ache for perfect doughnut taking the Elephante home. My next craving, piroshky.
